Senior Gabe Bernstein works in the school greenhouse. This past summer, Bernstein explored various research opportunities to finally recognize what science fields he would like to pursue. [Research in the summer] helped me narrow down my focus for what I wanted to go into, Bernstein said. I know which sides of plant science and ecological studies I didnt like and which ones I did.

Holding her most prized possessions, Talya Weinstein presents her sashes, gear and award pins from various  National American Miss competitions over the course of the year. Talya first won Miss Ladue, then continued on to win Miss Saint Louis, and finally earned her spot to go to the national competition. Talya was excited to present herself in front of a national panel and got to see her pageant friends that shes made along the way who make the long pageant days easier. “Miss Missouri Teen USA was my favorite because I bonded with these girls on a different level,” Talya said. “Most of the girls are very friendly and easy to talk to, and I have a lot of friendships with the girls from the pageants I compete in. I communicate with my pageant friends weekly.”

Tarek Al Husseini puts his bake-off apple crisp into the oven. He was attempting to recreate Macs version without the directions. The original crisp was flakey on the bottom, so I approached it like I would a pie crust, Al Husseini said.

Freshman Amelie Lock rehearses in the high schools Performing Arts Center. She has acted in various environments, from massive open-air theaters like the Muny, to competitive audition rooms in New York City, to her own bedroom on tape for send-in auditions. No matter the environment, she strove to perform at her best—to treat acting as the art form that it is instead of a job in an industry. There were are a lot of auditions that Im super proud of, and I think that any actor that youll talk to will say the same thing because so often we get really close to a role, Lock said. I think that any actor that youll talk to will say the same thing. Tens of thousands of people submit for every single call that we get, so there are so many auditions that Im proud of my performance for, even if I dont get the role.

Junior Audrey Roberts wears a necklace with her Hebrew name on it. Shes worn it every single day since she got it on her trip to Israel two years ago. She inherited her Hebrew name, Risa, from her grandmother, who passed away shortly after she was born. “Its really special for me to carry on her memory,” Roberts said. Sharing a Hebrew name with her makes me feel more connected to her.
