Yearbook 2003 Vol.30

THE STEWARD SCHOOL 11600 Gayton Road Richmond, Virginia 23233 (804) 740-3394 www.stewardschool.org Title Page 1

Above: With Steward's first students, the founder of the school Helen Dixon brea ks the ground for the first building in 1972.

It was an exciting year at Steward, beginning with the gala events dedicated to the opening of the Paul R. Cramer Center for the Arts. These events included on

campus visits by the Manhattan Transfer and the comedy act Capitol Steps. The fall semester also included a celebration of the the school's 30th armiversary.

This was commemorated by a day of cake and ice cream followed by an energetic p erforman ce by the popular rock band Carbon Leaf. While the tragic events of the sniper attacks and the terrible loss of Michelle Anderson Haigler, former student, made it a difficult year, we also found that we were a close family, one that can be proud of how far we have progressed in only 30 years.

We dedicate this book to the next thirty.

BYRNE High school is finally over...Got another four more years ahead to look forward to ... Thanks, Mom and Dad for putting up with me for this 10ng...My blood runs red, white, and blue since I was born in the North and raised in the South of the greatest country in the world ... Funny how people say they want to end terrorism, but when time comes for action everyone is against it...lt's the irony of the anti-war protest that rallies for peace and ends in a riot...Three things that you don't want to mess with: my family, my friends, my car. ..One of my fellow classmates found that out the hard way ...the best thing that anyone has told me is that 1 drive like Steve McQueen .. .It's a shame Hunter that you had to mess up and buy a sewing machine, I mean Honda ... a good piece of advice to underclassmen, TAKE PUBLIC SPEAKING IN THE SUMMER. .. and when you are a Senior find an option to Shakesperean Literature ...

Sarah Hey my friend It seems your eyes are troubled Care to share your times with me Would you say you're feeling low and so A good idea would be to get it off your mind See, you and me Have a better time than most can dream Have it better than the best And so can pull on through Whatever tears at us Whatever holds us down And if anything can be done We'll make the best of what's around.

When people set goals for themselves, they turn into slaves. A person has no freedom to go on the outside of that boundary that the goal makes. I tend to find myself always crossing that boundary, and I have come to realize that it's just easier to let life flow. Break the cycle and be yourself, don't let goals kill your thoughts because if you do you are not unique. Be real. ... Mr. Coddington, you've been a great advisor, teacher, coach, and friend ... Alex, Nick, Tony, all of my coaches and everyone else at Steward thank you. I'll be sure to visit. Keep your heads up and stay in the game.

The Varsity Boys' Soccer team finished with a 10-5-1 record and the team was consistently ranked as the #1 or #2 team in the Division IT State Poll. The squad played a more competitive schedule against some Division 1 teams and performed well against them. Davi Lorenzo, Kyle Dennis, Justin Luxnor and Cole Johnson were nominated for the All State Team. Lorenzo was the leading scorer with 24 goa ls, while Dennis added 12 goals. Cole Johnson and Chris Harvey anchored the defense and Spencer Best did an outstanding job at "marking back." Jeremy Karmolinski played a strong role as fullback while Justin Luxnor had another good year as goalkeeper.

Harvey and Karmolinski served as captains and provided outstanding leadership throughout the season. Ricky Martin and Matt Gallo were new to the team and each had a solid season. Freshman A fton Bartlett developed as the season progressed.

Clearly, the team had an international flare with Davi Lorenzo, Fransisco Argueta, and Moritz Eberhardt joining the squad this season. The team was placed #2 in Division IT of the State Tournament, but lost the quarter-final game against #7 placed Richmond Christian.

W L L W L W W W W W

In the second year as a sport at Steward, the girls' volleyball team competed at the JV level and did very well. Because of the large number of girls interested in playing volleyball, coaches Jane Tuohey and Terri Shelton split them into two groups. The" A" team played a JV schedule while the "B" group focused on Middle School competition. Senior cocaptains Pamela Lawrence and Lyne Minardi led the team.

Lawrence carried the team with her incredible serve (28 aces) and consistent passing, while newcomer Maggie Harman covered the front line as the middle hitter and tallied 43 "kills."

Ayers Gilman set aJi the plays into motion with her "setting" skills. The team will compete at the varsity level next fall in the league of Independent Schools.

The "B" team competed against Collegiate and Carmel Christian and went two for two for the season. They won their final match versus the Cougars.

VARSfI'Y GIRLS BASKEmALl

The Varsity Girls' basketball team, coached by Mr. Lee, had a very successful season. The girls won the E. Dale Travis Invitational held at Trinty in the fall, beating Covenant to clinch the title. The Steward Girls' team also traveled down to Charleston as well, playing against many tough public schools. The team faced a difficult challenge when Junior Faith Gray was injured during a game, yet they kept their heads held high and finished successfully. Leading the way, Junior Maggie H arman averaged 23 points and 11 rebounds per game, setting new school records. Also, Junior Lauren Harris helped the team tremendously averaging 9 points, and 6 rebounds a game. Sophomore Morgan Hutchinson averaged 4 assists a game, along with Kate Garner, who avera ged 4 rebounds. Breanna Beauford and Meg Robertson made a huge impact on defense ends as well, both averaging 4 rebounds a game. In addition, newcomer Teresa Kaiser fom Germany, playing her first year of basketbaIJ, improved greatly.

IV Boys' BASKETBALL Above: Justin Saunders postitions to pass to high scorer Seidney Morris.

The season started with a discouraging string of 7 defeats. However, this season was a story of dazzling comebacks as they returned from winter break with fire in their bellies. Coach Inge, nor anyone on the team, thought what was to occur was pOSSible. Coach Inge said to the team after their first win to New Community that, "We'll start counting them now." The high scorer in the pivotal New Community game was Seidney Morris with fourteen points. To follow in this trend, the boys came up with a big conference win against Kenston Forest. Following this, the team had a game against Blessed-Sacrament Huguenot, the number one ranked team in the conference and pulled out a thrilling win, beating this serious challenger 51-47. After the holidays the team lost only 4 out of 17 games, ending with an overall winning record of 13-11.

Production Staff

The story of Flowers for Algernon is the tragic tale of a man named Charlie Gordon, portrayed

by Will Metcalf. Charlie is 28 years old and has the mental capacity of a seven year old. Doctors perform an operation on Charlie as an experimental attempt to raise his intelligence.

The people who get caught up in the resulting roller coaster of events include the doctors who changed him, Jill Nemur (Christina Nelson), Jay Strauss (Tucker Bloom), and Burt Seldon (Ryan Childress); the family he has never had played

by Mary Congdon, Ryan Childress, Kathy Northrop, and Kendall Huennekens; and the woman who loved him, Alice Kinnian (Lindsey Leach). They are all on board for the whirlwind journey Charlie goes through advancing his intellect and emotions, while down the spiral of descent into his previous state. The playas performed by the Steward students was sad, brilliant, and yet still hopeful.

The Middle School and Upper School Holiday Concert was a big success!

The 8th Grade Instrumental Ensemble began the event with some traditional holiday melodies, performed by novice and veteran intrumentalists together. The Eighth Grade Chorus followed with several upbeat Hanukkah and Christmas selections.

Highlights of their performance included soloist Matt Deacon on "Those Gospel Angels" and choreography arranged by the students.

The Recorder Ensemble performed music specially arranged for recorder with synthesizer by Mr. McAlister. Their songs included "The Lion Sleeps Tonight" and Avril Lavigne's "Complicated."

The Upper School intrumental ensemble performed next. This group, consisting of two guitars and a clarinet, delighted the audience with renditions of "Shenendoah" and "Will the Circle Be Unbroken." Other Upper School instrumentalists performing were the Upper School Trio, consisting of a flute, a violin, and a clarinet, and the Upper School Rock Ensemble, that jammed to riffs from The Doors and Sam and Dave.

Instrumental soloists included violinist Teresa Kaiser and guitar player Jesse Garrison.

The Upper School Choirs included the Select Chorus performing holiday selections, and the Select and Mixed Chorus doing a mixture of holiday tunes and Baroque classics.

Some highlights of the event included the inaugural performance of the Middle School Instrumental Ensemble, with twenty three students performing their two selections extremely well. The combined Middle School and Upper School Choirs filled the theater with the gospel sounds of "Soon and Very Soon."

The concert concluded with all participants of the concert either singing or playing holiday favorites in a sing-along with the audience. The Middle and Upper School students ha ve begun a new tradition, and set a high standard for future Steward School musicians.

Over two hundred angelic voices graced our stage singing and dancing to the holiday repertoire.

The story revolved around heaven's newest member "Noel" (Kendall Huennekens) and her monotone singing voice. In order to be included in the heavenly choir, Noel needed to be able to sing. All of the different clouds of angels attempted to help her "find her voice." There were cherubs (Kindergarten), and snow angels (Grade 1), rock'n roll angels (Grade 3), Jewish angels (Grade 4), and Spanish (Grade 5). It wasn't until the Junior Angel Choir discovered that Noel's voice did not fit into all of the heavenly chords, and she became Below: The Kindergarten class sings, "I am an angel, that's what my mommy says." a popular member of the choir.

St. Peter awarded the little angel with her gold wings and in her excitement she flew high in the air as the entire heavenly group performed "Sing Merrily, Sing!"

The angelic lower school teachers were responsible for guiding the classes and making Thank Hea vens a memorable experience for all.
