Virtu 2020

Fall 2020

A Letter from the Head of School James Milford

I’m very excited to share this Virtu with you. Within these pages are stories of our Maclay team and family overcoming some substantial obstacles...and doing so in extraordinary fashion.

Maclay School has never had a year like 2020, but I do hear echoes of the past as I’ve seen the first half of this school year play out. For one, the use of outdoor spaces harkens back to the multiple alumni stories I’ve heard of students clearing land during physical education classes in the first few years.

Now, we are not sending our kids out there with axes and rakes, but our students have enjoyed the outdoors during classes and lunch more than they have been able to in a long time.

I’ve also heard some of the coaches would grill out every Friday for the students decades ago. Even though the number of burgers and hotdogs we need to make have multiplied with close to 1,000 students now, we truly enjoyed grilling for the school a few weeks back.

Lastly, on this non-exhaustive list, is the spirit of a faculty who have remained focused on the possible during a very uncertain time. It is said, “When you focus on problems, you’ll have more problems. When you focus on possibilities, you’ll have more opportunities.” This has certainly been the mantra of ‘Team Maclay’ this year. The faculty have been hard at work finding, creating, and seizing opportunities that provide a great education and great experience for our students. That has been the mindset of our Maclay faculty since the school began on our beautiful 100 acres over 50 years ago, and I can promise, will continue to be our rallying cry as we visualize the possibility for our amazing community in 2021 and beyond.

Go Marauders!

COVID A Different Kind of School Year The 2020-21 school year started like no other. A global pandemic adjusted all that we know, and the summer was filled with preparing our school and staff while physically making changes to campus that would keep our students and teachers as safe as possible. Over the summer, several additions were made on campus including adding handwashing and sanitizing stations, installing air purification filters in classrooms, establishing classroom cohorts, creating over a dozen outdoor classrooms, and adding plastic barriers to desks where social distancing was not possible – to name a few. We know our students need and that they want face-to-face instruction, but we also know the risk factors for some are too great. Our solution was to offer our families a virtual option called Concurrent Virtual Classroom (CVC).

The CVC program, overseen by a former classroom teacher, was launched with the help of all the faculty who worked tirelessly, and our Technology Team who installed iPads, tv’s, and sound systems in every classroom so that CVC students were live in class. Our dedication to an “uninterrupted education” was an enormous task but the determination and flexibility of our Maclay administration, faculty, staff, and parents made it happen.

Guidance The Guidance Team has been actively supporting the students and faculty all year, acknowledging the challenges of isolation and loneliness that the pandemic has brought. They launched the Green Brain Campaign across all three divisions and worked with students to find and nurture their green brain by offering support and help with coping skills. This fall, Mr. Milford hosted Mr. Van and new counselors Jayme McIntyre and Tammy Eubanks in a threepart webinar series Stress and Anxiety, Finding Balance, and Mindfulness.

A New Appreciation for the Outdoors If there was a silver lining to COVID-19, it would have to be the addition of outdoor classrooms and spaces on our 100 beautiful acres. Events such as the honor signing and inductions, along with classes and lunches, were shifted to the outdoors where tents, picnic tables, and Adirondack chairs were added across campus. Students even enjoyed pop-up concerts in the grassy area performed by the Maclay Music Club.

Faculty Fridays It’s no secret that the school year has brought new stresses to the job of many teachers and our faculty rose to the occasion! Each Fridays, Mr. Milford and the administration said thank you in small and meaningful ways including food truck lunch, treats in the lounges, snacks, coffee bars, and a chili lunch before the winter break.

Pen Pals Since there have been a limited number of opportunities for students to interact throughout each division, the Upper School students have pen pals in the Lower School. Students from the Upper School wrote letters to the youngest Marauders on campus keeping the One School One Community feel on campus.

1School 1Community

Remembering September 11th This year, the Marauders participated in a school-wide moment of silence and tribute to the memory of victims of 9/11.

Librarian David Low (‘05) put together a video of remembrance which was narrated by senior Nick Cicchetti and Middle Schooler Caroline Couch.

DEDICATION DAY Maclay School Dedication Day was held November 12th and was a chance for our community to come together and celebrate Maclay! Parents, grandparents, and alumni were invited to participate virtually with us throughout the day.

The morning started with eleven Zoom-In to Class opportunities where visitors could sit in on Digital Photography, Advanced Honors English, or even Mythology class, to name a few. During the day, the Admissions Team of Michael Obrecht and Garrett Robinson (’98) along with Head of School James Milford took guests on a virtual campus tour, which included many favorite spaces on campus and some new areas too. Several of our alumni teachers recorded a Day in the Life video giving guests a glimpse into their lives during the school day. Mr. Milford and Mr. Beamer took to the big grill at lunch and cooked students and faculty burgers. The day wrapped up with a special ‘Alumni Toast to Alfred’ Zoom Social. Over 40 alumni from all over the country participated in the virtual event which was hosted by alums Cindy Thomas (’86) and co-faculty member and husband Dean Gargiulo (’87) who provided lots of entertainment during the trivia contest.

Guardian Ad Litem Maclay clubs and classes were happy once again to participate in the collection of holiday gifts for the children in the Guardian Ad Litem holiday drive. Though we missed being about to fill our shopping carts this year, sixteen various groups, service clubs, and classes collected over $2600 in gift cards, diapers, wipes, and electronics given to 416 children in the Big Bend area.

Ugly Sweater Day It’s not December without Milford’s Ugly Sweater Day. There is always steep competition every year, and 2020 was no exception. This year’s winners received gift cards to the TruBru Coffee Shop in the Beck Family Innovation Center.

MACLAY GOES PINK Maclay School once again participated in the annual “Pink Day” supporting Breast Cancer Awareness.

The Upper School Anchor Club sponsored the One School event and provided age-appropriate informational videos and a pink-themed bake sale.

Proceeds were donated to the National Breast Cancer Foundation.

Astronaut Guest Speaker Middle School students had a virtual meeting with Astronaut Terry Virts to discuss his new book, How to Astronaut - An Insider’s Guide to Leaving Planet Earth. Virts is one of only four astronauts in history to have piloted a space shuttle, flown a Russian Soyuz spacecraft, performed spacewalks, and commanded the International Space Station.

The virtual meeting was made possible by Tallahassee’s independent bookstore, The Midtown Reader.

Student Astronaut Challenge The Middle School Student Astronaut team is focusing their scientific research on increasing an astronaut’s lung capacity while practicing for the competition at Kennedy Space Center they qualified for earlier this year.

UPPER SCHOOL NEWS

National Merit Semifinalists Four Maclay Seniors were named as National Merit Semifinalists this year. Annette Lu, Victor Oguledo, Michael Sweeney and Ella McConnell, were among 16,000 students from across the country recognized as the highest scorers in the nation representing less than one percent of each state’s high school seniors.

UPPER SCHOOL HONOR CODE SIGNING

The Honor Code Signing has been a long-standing tradition at Maclay.

Freshmen, new students, and new Upper School faculty take part in a ceremony including signing the Book of Honor, which is housed in the Langford Library. This year’s event was moved to the grassy lawn between the Upper School and Library but continued to portray the significance and symbolism of the Maclay Honor Code. Rep. Dean Cannon was the guest speaker and students from each division provided music. Since the event was live-streamed, classes from kindergarten to 8th grade were able to view the ceremony.

HOMECOMING

Career Day Career Day was virtual this year but still offered an opportunity for our Upper School students to hear from a wide array of professionals.

Nearly 20 guest speakers, including several alumni, hosted Zoom rooms for students where they gave an overview of their professional journey and finished with a Q&A. 10

The Homecoming activities were slightly different this year, but campus was still spirited with the dress-up days and break time contests. The week ended with an indoor presentation of the Homecoming Court and the crowning of the 2020 Homecoming King and Queen Cade Smith and Caroline Higdon.

Halloween We may be wearing masks every day, but we couldn’t let Halloween go by without having some fun. The Upper School teachers decked out as their favorite Harry Potter character and created some serious magic in the quad!

LEGAL ISSUES Thanks to the newly launched Parent-in-Residence program, a Legal Issues course was offered this year. Attorney Elizabeth Ricci is the instructor and has brought a wealth of speakers in including a first-year law student, a clinical psychologist, a social issues reporter, local and out-of-state judges, and attorneys whose practices include elections law and military law. Florida’s State Attorney Jack Campbell was one guest who spoke to students about the controversial Stand Your Ground law, the castle doctrine, and affirmative defenses. The students also participated in a Scholar Exchange program with the National Constitution Center and have six more sessions scheduled next semester. The class is a great way to learn about current events in law and legal issues directly from experts.

Notes from the Underground Maclay students in the Creative Writing and Literary Publications class held a release party for the newest addition of literary journal Notes from the Underground (NFTU) - a student-run publication of poetry, short stories, essays, and art. The class taught by Dr. Craig Beaven has gained a national reputation over the last several years and is for students who are passionate about literature and the arts and committed to bringing the incredible work of their peers to a wide audience. Notes for the Underground is the main project for class members who serve as contributors and editors, but other students are encouraged to submit their work or apply for editorial positions.

On Friday, December 4, the class unveiled this year’s edition of Notes from the Underground at a launch party, which was attended by several Maclay alumni editors, fellow classmates, teachers, and even Rowdy the ‘Rauder. New this year was a short awards presentation for best in poetry, fiction, art, and essay.

The NFTU class also announced the launch of the new student-created website for the on-line journal www.thenftu.com which will elevate the publication to a national-level and begin accepting works submitted by high school students from across the country.

The ARTS Marauder Dance Company Nutcracker Marauder Dance Company held a Nutcracker Camp in early December. More than 20 students Kindergarten through 5th spent the week learning dance routines, creating costumes, and filming performances. MDC Parents received a digital copy of MDC’s The Nutcracker Ballet performance in lieu of a live recital.

Graphic Design Memory Project

Graphic Design students were partnered with children from Syria and created portraits of each other as part of The Memory Project, a nonprofit organization dedicated to promoting intercultural understanding and kindness between children around the world through school-based art programs. Since 2004, the organization has coordinated the delivery of 180,000 portraits to children in 55 countries.

Refractive Art in Photography Upper School students in Kaitlyn Dressel’s photography class created Refractive Art projects inspired

by Suzanne Saroff’s photographs. Refraction is when light bends passing through water, causing the objects behind to change appearance.

Thespians Qualify for State Congratulations to our Upper School Drama Troupe who participated in the 2020 Florida International Thespian Society North West Regional Festival. We entered 15 events with all students qualifying for State with Excellent & Superior ratings. The event was held virtually this year, but Maclay continues to provide a space for lights to shine, for students to create, and for the arts to thrive. Good luck to our Thespians at State!

The 2020 Youth Art Winter Festival The Winter Festival looked different this year without an awards ceremony but Maclay artists still took numerous awards. Sixteen student artists submitted their work to the annual event sponsored by the Council of Culture and Arts. 6th grader Sophia Fasig took best overall in the Middle School division.

HARVEST TIME BROUGHT INSPIRATION Each student in Ms. Painter’s Upper School Foundations of Art Classes painted a yellow polka-dot pumpkin that came together to become a collaborative installation inspired by Kusama’s installation All the Eternal Love I Have for the Pumpkins from her Infinity Room series. Yayol Kusama is a contemporary Japanese artist, working in a variety of media but is especially known for her installations, where the viewer becomes an active part of the artwork itself. The artwork was displayed in the Beck Family Innovation Center and students from all divisions came by to experience it.

Tessa Cooper was one of the artists featured in the Winter Festival.

ATHLETICS Volleyball

The Marauder volleyball team had a challenging start maneuvering through COVID and new FHSAA regulations but were excited to begin a new era under the direction of Coach Daijah Washington.

Junior Kate Krizner led the team with 107 kills and 45 blocks in the season and was named to the 2nd team All-Big Bend. The young squad went 5-8 on the season but had big wins over JPII and NFC and will look to continue to improve under the upcoming talents of Amelia Haggins and Rachel Bethke.

Football

The 2020 Football season certainly provided many challenges but opened the 2020 campaign with an impressive 27-13 victory over Brookwood. In addition, the team had victories over Liberty County (38-7), Lafayette (38-14), and Cottondale (43-24) to end the season 4-5. All 5 losses were to playoff teams and 3 of the 5 were versus teams who made it to the regional final.

The leadership of the team was impressive from the start and included four Team Captains (Joe Butler, Kennan Milford, Jim Murrah and Broedy Poppell) who led the program as we strive to build men of character.

Though our One School State Celebrations looked different this year, the Upper School still took time out to cheer on the student-athletes who made it to the state tournament in the fall!

Swimming

It was a return to state prominence for the Maclay Swimming team under the direction of head coach Pavel Sankovich, the two-time Big Bend Coach of the Year. After finishing runner-up at the District Championship, the Marauders had a strong Regional showing, including recording ten personal bests and having six individuals and two relay teams qualify for state. Senior Dimitri Nakis was named All Big-Bend Co-Swimmer of the Year after a 5th place finish in the 200 free style state race and was part of three school records in relays. The girls team was led by Meg Howell who placed 11th in the 200 free style at state and the consistent performance from freshman Kaitlyn Guyer.

Golf

It was a great season for both the boys and girls golf teams this season as both teams returned to the state tournament. Girls coach Cindy Stockstill was named All-Big Bend Coach of the Year after an undefeated season that included a district championship. The team’s trio of Amanda Gerrish, Annika Dean, and freshman Ellie Jane Riner led the Marauders to finish as the top girls team in the Big Bend. The boys team coached by Joe Kupiszewski was led by newcomer Lee Poppell who placed 10th at the state tournament. The highlight of their season was a victory of two-time state champion Chiles.

Cross Country

All-Big Bend Boys Coach of the Year Angie Milford once again led a team of young runners who exceeded expectations for the season with both teams finishing in the top five in the state. Senior Jackson Yarbrough took second place at state by a few seconds. Freshman Gracie Koeppel placed 11th and led the girls team.

Warner Inducted into Hall of Fame The Florida Athletic Coaches Association held its 45th Annual Hall of Fame induction on January 9th in Daytona Beach. Five outstanding coaches were inducted into this year’s Hall of Fame including Maclay School’s longtime soccer coach Andy Warner.

Warner’s soccer career has spanned over 40 years. He came to Maclay under a one-year commitment in 1990 and 30 years later amassed 465 wins, four state championships, and six runner-up finishes while leading the Marauders. Warner has also made an impact on the community with his soccer expertise. He founded the successful soccer organization Warner Soccer, developing soccer throughout the Southeastern region.

He is viewed as a soccer pioneer after becoming a founding member of the World Cup 1994 bid (1988-1994), a consultant for Major League Soccer (1994-1995), Consultant for Disney Sports (19941995) organizing the first International Adult Soccer Tournament (1994), and a founding member of the Eastern Indoor Soccer League, and Co-owner of the Tupelo Hound Dogs. He has also worked as a color commentator for Sunshine Sports and Fox Sports South.

Maclay Parent Organization A Picture-Perfect Parent Partnership The Maclay Parent Organization (MPO) has made their mark at Maclay School through the years, enriching the culture with a variety of talents and skills that keeps families engaged. When faced with a year of limited in-person and on-campus access, MPO stepped up to the challenges with creativity and unmatched dedication to support our faculty and staff from afar, volunteering virtually to help teachers, making special deliveries to new families, and offering enthusiastic support and encouragement.

As a token of appreciation for the outstanding work done by our teachers each day, MPO organized a Family Photo Day this fall, with Maclay parent photographers Langley Clark and Jennifer Powell, to help faculty check an item off of their to-do lists and take holiday photos with their families. We love seeing the smiling faces of our outstanding faculty, and are so grateful for the parent partnerships that make the Maclay community shine.

A Word From Your MPO Chairs MPO is fundamental to what makes our school and community so great. Each parent’s involvement does not go unnoticed and we believe it’s truly what sets us apart. Every idea, service hour, helping hand is what makes the Maclay experience special and this year we need your support more than ever.

Even though at times, we may be physically distanced or unable to connect in the traditional ways we have become accustomed to, MPO warmly welcomes all new ideas and anyone that would like to be involved to make this school year as best as it can be for everyone!

A Science Legacy at Maclay The tradition of excellence and innovation within Maclay’s science program has been a mainstay of the program and school curriculum for decades. Maclay students have long benefitted from the leadership within this program. The dream for a new Science building was a longtime goal of the school.

These spaces within the Beck Family Innovation Center honor the commitment and vision of these individuals who nurtured student interests and passions over the years in this field and established the excellent program the school offers today.

The Dr. Thomas C. Lewis Biology Wing Remembered as the first true Head of Maclay’s Upper School, Dr. Lewis played a significant role in the academic history of Maclay School as well as in the lives of the students and faculty he mentored.

Eager to share his knowledge with the students who sought it, he served as a teacher, administrator, and mentor at Maclay for 37 years, offering fair-minded and understanding support to all.

Dr. Lewis was first hired under the leadership of Head of School Bill Jablon as a teacher in IPS, Biology, and Advanced Biology, and as the Key Club Sponsor. He quickly distinguished himself in the Maclay community as both a parent and faculty member. As the Science Department at Maclay grew with the completion of the Science Center in 1983, Dr. Lewis took on the leadership of the program as the Science Department Head, moving on to oversee curriculum for the Upper School, serving as the Assistant Head of the Upper School, and later as the Head of the Upper School. Advocates for the growth of the school and Science Department, Dr. Lewis and Mr. Jablon were awarded an Edward E. Ford grant, which supported new resources for the Science Center that laid the foundation for the scope of the program that exists today.

Dr. Lewis’ impact on Maclay is far reaching, especially in his forward-thinking approach to integrating technology on campus.

The thoughtful decisions he made laid the groundwork for Maclay 22

to be a leader in the field as technology progressed. During his tenure, Dr. Lewis initiated the Science Fair in the Upper and Middle Schools, the incorporation of Advanced Placement curriculum in the Science Department, as well as the thoughtful integration of school administration software that allowed the school to operate efficiently.

Dr. Lewis was awarded the Joseph B. Whitehead Educator Distinction for his exemplary dedication to the field of education. Even through his retirement in 2015, Dr. Lewis remained dedicated in his work to the School, serving part-time in administrative and scheduling support for Upper School students. His service and impact on Maclay as an institution include the remarkable accomplishment of teaching Advanced Placement Biology for 33 years, his instruction changing and evolving, always remaining current and in line with the tremendous and complex advances in biology over that time span.

Over the course of his 37 years of leadership and service at Maclay School, Dr. Lewis had an impact on an entire generation of students, encouraging curiosity and growth and demonstrating to his students and colleagues that all questions have merit. His contributions to Maclay and to the Science program are a treasured part of his remarkable legacy of service and have an ongoing impact through the work of the many Maclay alumni whom Dr. Tom Lewis taught and led.

Judy King

Judy King was a beloved educator and Chair of the Science Department at Maclay School for 22 years whose vision for innovation in science led the development of the school’s curriculum, competition, and creative application in the field to that of an exceptional reputation. Mrs. King devoted countless hours to individual tutoring and coaching, establishing excellent outcomes of Maclay students in regional, state, national, and international competitions.

Mrs. King was a patient mentor, who notably coached the winner of the Best in Physics award at the Intel International Science and Engineering Fair in 2000. Mrs. King pioneered a Sunday afternoon exam review tradition at Maclay and embodied the Maclay spirit of community with her lively nature and eagerness to be involved. She worked tirelessly to keep the need for a new science building in the plans for Maclay’s future.

Tyler Rowland ‘07 September 14, 1988 - March 26, 2010

A 2007 Maclay graduate, Tyler Rowland left an exceptional legacy in Maclay’s science program. He demonstrated a rare balance of unstoppable curiosity, determination, and enthusiasm for life at all times. Admired by both faculty and students alike, Tyler approached his academic endeavors with the same optimism as he approached his life.

He was never deterred by setbacks, and was dedicated to his efforts in Science competition, ultimately winning numerous awards for his work with kudzu, looking at ways to transition the invasive species to alcohol for fuel. Always committed to helping others succeed, Tyler could often be found collaborating with and supporting his peers. A spirited competitor outside of the classroom as well, he was a valued player on the tennis team and took every opportunity to cheer on his teammates and attend various school events. Tyler’s love for Maclay and science was constant through his lifetime.

Beck Family Innovation Center Gallery Returning Home:

Selected Works by Julie Miller Torres ’98, LM18 This fall, following the opening of the Beck Family Innovation Center, Maclay welcomed home, Julie Miller Torres, ’98 LM18 as the inaugural exhibition in the Beck Family Innovation Center Gallery. Julie spent the week inspiring our students, connecting with fellow alumni, and working with our faculty in the Fine Arts Department. She generously and graciously shared insights about her work and process with students in all Divisions, encouraging their creative process and answering questions about her detailed and intricate pieces.

Julie Miller Torres was born in Boise, Idaho, and was raised in Tallahassee, Florida. After attending Maclay from Pre-K through 12th grades, Julie went on to earn a Bachelor of Arts and a Juris Doctor from the University of Florida in 2002 and 2005 respectively, a Master of Law from the University of Miami in 2008, and a Bachelor of Fine Arts in Printmaking from the Savannah College of Art and Design (SCAD) in 2016. Julie is an Atlanta-based artist specialized in the medium of printmaking and has had numerous accomplishments in her artistic career including being recently named a 2020 Finalist for the Sustainable Arts Foundation Award out of 1,800 applicants.

Torres practiced law for seven years prior to attending SCAD. This experience is reflected in the subject matter of her work which explores the balance between various systems: natural and artificial; societal and legal. She incorporates text from legal documents into her art counterbalanced by an aesthetic of delicacy to create an interplay between content and form. Julie’s work has been exhibited nationally and internationally and is included in private and public collections including those of Delta Airlines, Ritz Carlton, J.W. Marriott, Norwegian Cruise Lines, Sara Blakely and the Jordan Schnitzer Family Foundation.

She most recently exhibited her work with Jennifer Balcos Gallery at Pulse Art Fair and with September Gray Fine Art at Art Palm Beach.

To welcome Julie back to campus and provide an opportunity for fellow alumni to see her work, the Maclay Alumni Association hosted a welcome reception for classmates and former faculty of Julie’s.

“I love Tallahassee and I love Maclay and no matter where I have gone, no matter what I have tried to do, I have always known that my foundation was strong, that I have received the best education, and that I had the encouragement to make the most of the opportunities that came my way.”

“I am truly grateful for the education I received at Maclay. It is an honor to return to share my artwork with Maclay students, parents, and alumni.”

-Julie Miller Torres

“We are thrilled to be able to exhibit Julie’s work in this new, inspiring gallery space on campus. Having her work here for our students and school community to view is one of the many highlights of the opening of our new Beck Family Innovation Center. Pairing creativity, inspiration, art, and design, with the sciences and other STEM fields creates exciting opportunities for our nearly 1,000 students and faculty to be inspired to collaborate and work across disciplines. We are so grateful that Julie returned home to Maclay to share this work with us all.”

– James Milford, Head of School

Advancement News Visconti Student Health Center Francis Visconti

With the start of the 2020-2021 School Year, the Clinic and Student Health Center reopened in a new facility. The Visconti Student Health Center is named in honor of Francis A.

Dr. Visconti was a dedicated Army doctor and, after serving in that capacity was a family physician in his small town, caring for members of his community and working to ensure their health and wellness. Together with his wife Louise, a nurse, they ran the family practice in Fremont, Ohio. Louise was an avid Maclay supporter and frequent fan at sporting events and other school occasions. The Visconti family has a longstanding history of support for Maclay’s clinic and health services. Mary Visconti was a dedicated volunteer in the clinic for many years, generously giving her time in care of our Maclay students.

Always an essential location on campus, the Visconti Student Health Center has played an increased role in keeping our community safe and healthy during this school year. The Visconti Student Health Center is a hub of activity each day and serves students in all grade levels in addition to providing information and services on an ongoing basis to parents and community members. This year, the Health Center offered several new services, including on site flu shots for students and faculty and webinars and informational offerings as we prepared to return to school amidst Covid-19. With its move to this new home, the Visconti Student Health Center now has more room for treatment of patients, secure storage for materials and medications, and a dedicated quarantine space for any visitor feeling ill or needing to quarantine while on campus.

The Visconti Student Health Center is located in the former site of the Francis A. Visconti, M.D. Upper School Administration Building.

Class of 1985

Congratulations to Lea Noblin Marshall!

Lea was named The James Madison Institute’s 5th-Annual recipient of their Florida Education Innovator of the Year Award. Lea teaches drama at Leon High School in Tallahassee. Long known for her creative spirit and keen wit, she pulled off an amazing pivot when COVID-19 closed down in-person classes last spring. Lea launched an online contest that not only amused and engaged her Leon High students, but she also elicited participation from many parents, townspeople, former students, and homeschoolers. Here is an excerpt of Lea’s acceptance: “All I really do all day is just try to show teenagers the life changing concepts of connections & empathy. Those seem to be in short supply these days despite being the most amazing & life affirming ideas that I’ve ever encountered in this wearisome world.”

Class of 1987

In September 2020, U.S. Army officials announced changes in the leadership at Fort Hood in Texas. Maj. Gen. John B. Richardson IV assumed duties as Deputy

Commanding General for Operations of III Corps and acting Senior Commander of Fort Hood. Prior to his selection for this position, Johnny was commanding general of U.S. Army Forces Command.

Are you familiar with Pickleball? What started out as game for older tennis retirees has quickly become the fastest growing sport for all ages. Barbara Cairns has been playing pickleball for about 7 years and traveling to tournaments for about 5. She came across it at Premier Gym in Tallahassee and has been hooked ever since. It can be played in singles and doubles. Barbara is currently an Ambassador for USA Pickleball, the governing body of pickleball. She also runs her own business, Big Bend Pickleball.

She has run 3 tournaments and plans on more in the future. From Barbara, “It’s not only fun to play but the community of people I have met are amazing. I love to play in tournaments because you get to travel, meet new people and if you’re lucky make the podium.” Take a look, Barbara made it to the podium at a tournament in Lake City, FL held January 15-18, 2021 – way to go, Barbara!

Class of 1988 Apalachicola Riverkeeper is a non-profit organization dedicated to the protection, restoration, and stewardship of the Apalachicola River and Apalachicola Bay. This special river and basin comprise the

37

A LUMN I AFFAIRS CLASS NEWS most ecologically diverse natural area in the southern United States with a significant variety of species of plants and animals, many of which are rare, some of which are considered threatened or endangered. The organization and its members believe that because the Apalachicola River ecosystem belongs to all of us, we have a shared responsibility to preserve it for future generations.

Cameron Lewis Barton is one of the Riverkeeper’s passionate supporters and, in October 2020, she made her second RiverTrek, a kayaking trip down the entire 106-mile length of the Apalachicola River, in 5 days. The goal of this trip is raising both awareness and funds to help protect and restore the Apalachicola River Basin.

As part of the journey, Cameron and other participants met with historians, local officials, naturalists and scientists to learn as much as they could during their wilderness immersion experience. As a RiverTrek member Cameron concluded, “I enjoyed the group and peacefulness of the river. It is simply powerful and beautiful and worth every effort to protect it!”

Beyond the trip, Cameron takes the knowledge and experiences she gains back to her Maclay middle school science classroom and helps her students explore the river and learn about its ecology. Through sharing an understanding of the unique ecosystem and the importance of the river’s health, she is developing another group of

38

ambassadors for this special area – way to go, Cameron!

During this degree I wrote a thesis on monitoring female reproductive activity in Aardvarks by using faecal steroid analysis. This year 2021 I will be furthering my studies by starting my Masters in Zoology at the University of Pretoria where I will be focusing on using a non-invasive technique to quantify faecal glucocorticoid metabolites to measure stress in the Striped Hyena.” Wishing you success in your research and your next degree, Kayla!!

Unfortunately, due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the music industry took a hard hit and essentially all touring was cancelled for the year. Though there is still a lot of uncertainty as to when it’ll all come back online, he’s been using the time he’s had off to write and release his own music, as well as do session work for others remotely. From Matthew, “It’s definitely been a disappointing year for live music, but I’ve stayed positive and am ready to get back onstage when things are safe again!”

At Florida State University, the Karen Myers Award in Interior Design History is given each year to a student who exhibits excellence in and passion for History of Interiors - our Lanier Hicks was the 2020 recipient!

Upon receiving her award, Lanier was interviewed for a FSU College of Fine Arts news release and shared the following regarding the impact of the scholarship on her academic career: “The validation I received from this scholarship for my newly found passion in History of Interiors made me recognize my niche in the design world and the importance of leaning into it, rather than to be swept away in the current of what my peers were creating. It has inspired me to keep designing with context and craftsmanship at the forefront of all creative decisions I make to this day.”

Lanier graduated from FSU in spring 2020 and now lives in Washington, D.C. where she works as an interior designer for the residential firm of Lisa and Leroy.

Class of 2018 Exciting things happen beyond studies here at Maclay. Zach Karpinski is an undergraduate student at the University of Florida and one of two students in the Department of Chemical Engineering working with space-implementation partner engineers on a project to study gravitational effects on the Faraday instability. The project, funded by an award from the National Science Foundation, seeks to validate models for Faraday instability with defining experiments conducted in the absence of gravity on the International Space Station and comparing these to ground experiments.

The project also seeks to determine when the interface saturates to standing waves and when it breaks catastrophically to rupture.

Class of 2020 Sameer Ponnaluri, a recent Maclay graduate now studying at UF, worked on a design for a specific part that can help doctors and nurses with their masks.

It is a part that relieves stress on their ears, especially when wearing a mask for extended period of times. The part is 3-D printable and Sameer came back to the Maclay campus last summer to use the 3-D printer to print a prototype. Ms. Barton and Mr. Kupiszewski collaborated on this amazing project.
