The History and Culture of Spain and Latin America class attends a performance at The Sheldon Theater by Hispanic Flamenco Ballet. They watched the performance and a few students, including senior Sari Gross, had the opportunity to participate in a dance. “I learned a lot about the festivities and aspects of life in Spain and Latin America,” Gross said. “My most memorable experience was getting to see and experience the cultures of other countries.”

Isabela MoronCousins, Eva Baxter, Gasya Berberian and Claire Graetz observe elastic and inelastic collisions in an AP Physics lab. Berberian's favorite topics this semester were the circular motion and gravitational force between planets. “One of my most memorable moments from this class, so far, was when our unit three exam got pushed back by a few days. It would've been our third exam in a three-week time period,” Berberian said. “When we all heard the news, the class applauded and cheered.”

Tori Haroutounian slices the ball at the varsity tennis match. As a freshman on varsity, Tori had doubts about playing for a team instead of individual tournaments; however, she has found the environment extremely supportive. “I really love the girl’s tennis team,” Haroutounian said. “It is such a different experience than just playing tournaments, because everybody is cheering each other on and being so supportive.”

At Clayton’s annual Art Fair, the Buskers Club, consisting of orchestra students, plays for the crowds passing by. Junior Zoe Baldwin played violin, and she felt the joys of playing without the stress of large performance. “I still get a little nervous, but there is no judgment if I mess up. I think people are happy to see young people passionate about music, so it starts to become more about our presence than if we make a mistake or not,” Baldwin said.

Senior Maddie Meyers cradles down the field at the girls varsity lacrosse game against Parkway South. The current season record is 2-0. “Our season so far has been challenging, rewarding, and extremely competitive,” Meyers said. “One of the highlights so far has been our first game against Hazelwood West -- we won by a landslide, stayed composed amidst frustrating playing, and celebrated with Fro Yo after! It couldn't have been a better start to my senior season.”

Junior Dante Zou and senior Andrew Karpman work together in their Medical Interventions class taught by Doug Verby to create a transhumeral (above the elbow) articulating prosthetic arm with individually movable fingers, wrist and elbow joints. The assignment's goal was to use the arm to drink a cup of water without spilling. "Through this project, Andrew and I learned how even a simple everyday task we take for granted, such as drinking a cup of water, can be difficult to model accurately due to the complex nature of human movement coordination,” Zou said. “Building our models with limited materials also meant that we had to tackle many material issues and adapt to complete our challenge."

Then we were called up for second [place] which was insane,” Cuddihee said.
