LAYTONalumni association

Clayton alumni and their families, staff and community members came together to celebrate the accomplishments and achievements of the six Inductees and three Distinguished Educators at the Clayton Alumni Hall of Fame Plaque Unveiling on May 30 and Induction Ceremony on May 31.

The Plaque Unveiling was the first time the Inductees were able to view their plaques, which are permanently displayed on the Hall of Fame Wall, located in the main lobby of Clayton High School. While the Distinguished Educators did not have plaques to unveil, as the display is currently in the design phase, they were each honored at the event for their contributions to the School District of Clayton.

The Induction Ceremony, held at the St. Louis Club in Clayton, Mo., was a memorable and inspiring evening. Charlie Brennan, KMOX radio personality, was the emcee for the evening. After being introduced, each Inductee and Distinguished Educator made comments about their accomplishments and their time at Clayton schools. While each speech was unique, they all had a common theme – Clayton schools had a significant impact on the life of every honoree.

“I believe 80 percent of the world’s problems would be solved if every child could attend Clayton schools,” said Hall of Fame Inductee Gregory Wendt (‘79).

“I want to thank the good lord for making me a Clayton teacher,” said

Distinguished Educator Lary Baker. “For those of you who have children who I taught, please give them a hug for me, tell them I miss them dearly and I would give anything to have one more hour with them in my class. Tell them thank you for letting them be my students.”

“For those of you who have children who I taught, please

give them a hug for me, tell them I miss them dearly and I would

give anything to have one more hour with them in my class.”

Clayton Alumni Hall of Fame Inductees prepare to see their plaques for the first time at the Plaque Unveiling event on May 30. For a complete list of the honorees and their accomplishments, see page 2.

chS robohoundS SurpriSed with $5,000 grAnt

The Clayton High School Robotics Team, the Robohounds, competed in the 2014 FIRST Robotics World Championships, an impressive feat for only a second-year team. To qualify for the world competition, the Robohounds won the Regional Championships hosted by Harding University in Searcy, Ark. The Robohounds then captured a second Regional Championship title at Chaifetz Arena in St. Louis, Mo., setting a St. Louis regional scoring record.

The Robohounds’ success came as somewhat of a surprise, even to themselves, based on the team’s limited experience on the robotics circuit. Despite the grants and sponsorships the Robohounds earned this year, they had not raised enough money to cover the $5,000 entry fee for the World Championships.

With only a month before the World Championship event, which was held April 24-26 at the Edward Jones Dome in St. Louis, raising an additional $5,000 was going

to be a difficult task for the Robohounds. During a surprise visit, the Clayton Alumni Association and Education Foundation presented the Robohounds with a check to cover the entire $5,000 entry fee.

“The Clayton Education Foundation works to enhance the educational experience for all District students,” said Karen McBride, community relations specialist and District liaison to the Foundation. “When a need arises where the Foundation can use donations from Clayton alumni and community members to support an outstanding educational experience for our students, such as the FIRST Robotics World Championships, it’s a perfect opportunity to give back to the District while fulfilling the Foundation’s mission.”

While the Robohounds did not place at the FIRST Robotics World Championships, the experience provided the CHS students with the opportunity to learn first-hand from some of the world’s best student-programmed robots.

did you know?The Clayton Alumni Association and Education Foundation provided a portion of the start-up funds for the Robohounds in the 2012-2013 school year. The Alumni Association and Education Foundation has also funded grants to launch a robotics program at Glenridge and Meramec Elementary. Over the past three years, with the support of Clayton alumni and community members, the Alumni Association and Education Foundation has awarded more than $34,000 in grants in the areas of STEM (science, technology, engineering and mathematics), literacy and fine arts.

mASkS enhAnce theAter curriculum At wmS

What’s in a mask? You might be surprised with the answer when you ask a Wydown Middle School seventh-grader in Brian Engelmeyer’s drama class. Engelmeyer implemented a new mask curriculum into his drama classes this year as part of a grant he received from the Clayton Alumni Association and Education Foundation in the fall of 2013.

“The masks are very new. Nothing like I have ever done before. It changed me,” said seventh-grader Tylar Potts. “When you put on the mask you are instantly a whole other person.”

The masks are an ancient and fundamental form of theatre and serve as an important tool for helping young actors. All of WMS’ theatre classes start with movement as a vehicle to teach theatrical play, storytelling, character and emotion. Adding the masks allows all the

students to “hide” and become someone or something else.

“Adding the masks has been something that I have wanted to incorporate for many years,” said Engelmeyer. “I have noticed a huge increase in student comfort levels, achievement and growth as performers.”

Engelmeyer first incorporated the new mask curriculum with his seventh-graders, and he plans to add the curriculum to more classes next school year. He will be writing new curriculum and adding mask work of various types to each grade-level drama class, incorporating different experiences at each level to build upon previous work.

Students began working with the masks following an introductory pantomime and stage movement unit. Natalie Turner-Jones, a theatrical movement professional and professor, visited the class and helped the students through several movement workshops. During the workshops, Turner-Jones helped students explore and become different characters with the masks. The students’ work with the masks culminated with a performance for WMS students participating in other drama classes.

“The performances were very successful and I can’t wait to develop more mask work for the WMS theatre curriculum,” said Engelmeyer.

Wydown Middle School seventh-graders in Brian Engelmeyer’s drama class perform a short student-written play using only movement to tell the story.

“The masks are very new. Nothing like I

have ever done before. It changed me.”

Wydown Middle School seventh-graders show a group of students how movement can change the personality of the mask.

chS Alum receiveS preStigiouS Science AwArd

World-renowned fetal surgeon and 2012 Clayton Alumni Hall of Fame Inductee Scott Adzick (‘71) received one of America’s oldest and most prestigious science awards, the John Scott Award, on Nov. 22 at the American Philosophical Society’s headquarters in Philadelphia for his contributions to fetal surgery.

Founded in 1834, the John Scott Award is bestowed upon individuals whose inventions have contributed, in some outstanding way, to the “comfort, welfare and happiness” of mankind. Past winners include Marie Curie, Thomas Edison, Jonas Salk, Irving Langmuir, Guglielmo Marconi, R. Buckminister Fuller and the Wright Brothers. A committee of Philadelphians nominates honorees to the Board of Directors of City Trusts of the City of Philadelphia.

Adzick, the surgeon-in-chief at The Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia (CHOP), has been an innovator in fetal medicine since its inception, and he has dedicated his career to the pursuit of groundbreaking prenatal treatment for birth defects. Adzick has made pioneering contributions to fetal surgery and continues to explore cutting-edge treatment options.

Adzick was also the principal investigator at CHOP for the National Institutes of Health Management of Myelomeningocele Study, which was a landmark clinical trial that demonstrated fetal surgery could substantially improve outcomes for children with spina bifida. The study represents the fruition of decades of research, much of it led by Adzick and his team, exemplifying how a once radical idea can, through meticulous investigation, be transformed into a viable treatment. Adzick was the lead author of the study results that were published in the New England Journal of Medicine.

The award commemorates John Scott, an Edinburgh druggist, who in the early 1800s set up a fund to honor Benjamin Franklin’s legacy by recognizing

ingenious men or women responsible for transformative inventions. Through the years, awards have been made internationally for the inventions in industry, agriculture, manufacturing, science and medicine.

Adzick is one of three distinguished Philadelphia scientists to receive the 2013 John Scott Award. Fellow honorees include Dr. P. Leslie Dutton, a biochemist and biophysicist at the University of Pennsylvania’s Perelman School of Medicine, and Dr. Robert L. Brent, the former chairman of pediatrics at Thomas Jefferson University.

2012 Hall of Fame Inductee Scott Adzick (‘71) was selected to receive the prestigious John Scott Award for his contributions to fetal surgery.

Alum creAteS innovAtive Sport

Enrique Cubillo (‘82), who goes by Cubi, hasn’t ever labeled himself as any one kind of athlete. Instead, he considers himself an all-around athlete, who sought out to create a lifelong, full-body aerobic fitness activity that included balance and was something athletes could participate in year-round. This concept was what prompted Cubi to invent SpikeBoarding.

SpikeBoarding, similar to Nordic Ski, is an aerobic fitness activity that is also transferable to daily commuting in a casual way. It involves using a 19 ounce SkateBoard Spike®, which is similar to a Nordic Ski pole. Participants balance themselves on a specially designed skateboard deck using the SkateBoard Spike to propel forward. Cubi has also invented various strokes for the SkateBoard Spike, including the double-handed stroke called the SUS (Stand up Spike) and the CXC (Cubi-x-Cross).

“I am the most proud of the human physiology I have innovated,” Cubi said of his stroke inventions. “It remains for eternity the same as the day I made it.”

A manufacturer and innovator of human physiology, Cubi’s company, S U S O I X ™ (pronounced suh-soy), currently produces a skateboard deck, but he is working on the SpikeBoard, which will feature a fully operational disc brake and will be made of composite materials, similar to a bicycle.

Cubi currently lives in New York, but has several trips planned to St. Louis with the hopes of starting a junior SpikeBoarding league.

“SpikeBoarding leads to Nordic Ski development, which is an Olympic sport,” explained Cubi. “I really think St. Louis has a very good shot at producing an Olympic Nordic Ski champion by way of SpikeBoard training.”

Reflecting back on his time at CHS, Cubi remembers the open campus and the freedom it afforded students.

“I never felt constraints,” said Cubi. “This is the way I have lived my life and it has led to both joyfulness and innovation.”

You can learn more about SpikeBoarding and follow Cubi on Facebook at facebook.com/standupspike or facebook.com/spikeboarding.

creAtive writing openS new world for chS Alum

After four years of practicing law, Jim Steinberg (‘64) decided the profession wasn’t for him. Following some searching, Steinberg began a career in teaching, first at the middle school level and then at a community college. It was his teaching career that moved Steinberg to become a writer.

As a middle school teacher, Steinberg taught Language Arts.

“I was evaluating [my students’] creative writing in spite of my insufficient background in writing that way,” said Steinberg. “Thinking that I needed to learn about creative writing from the inside, I spent a summer at Humboldt State University’s Redwood Writing Project, part of a nation-wide effort to develop writing as an integral part of teaching across the entire curriculum.”

The Redwood Writing Project opened a delightful new world to Steinberg. He realized fiction could get closer to the heart of any matter and enrich it. First Passage, a piece Steinberg wrote during the Redwood Writing Project, became one of his first published pieces.

For the past 24 years, Steinberg has continued his writing. To date, he has written 10 short story collections that have appeared in seven literary journals. He has also written and published Boundaries, which is his first novel. In addition to his writing, for the past 12 years, Steinberg has also been mediating. He runs a private practice where he helps couples divorce amicably.

While writing wasn’t Steinberg’s initial career, he remembers his freshman Honors English course with Clara White.

“In that class I began to love reading literature, starting with Charles Dickens’ Great Expectations,” said Steinberg. “We had to read it during the previous summer, a prospect that discouraged me. I thought it would spoil my summer, but I loved it.”

Steinberg credits CHS with providing him with a fine education that prepared

him to use language and to love words.

Currently, Steinberg lives on the north coast of California near his children and grandchildren. You can follow him on his blog, Follow Your Nose Fiction - A Blog About Writing By A Guy Who Writes.

Jim Steinberg (‘64) began a career in law before switching to a career in education. It was during his time as a teacher that he began writing fiction.

“Thinking that I needed to learn about creative writing from the inside, I spent a summer

part of a nation-wide effort to develop writing as an integral

part of teaching across the entire curriculum.”
