Excellence in Mathematics Burroughs students took first place in all four grade levels—individual and team—of the Excellence in Mathematics competition held at St. Louis Community College at Forest Park on November 10. Burroughs participated in the small school division, with approximately 20 other schools. Congratulations to Chris Wong '16, Amanda Cao '15, Will Nickerson '14 and Joe Roddy '13 who were the #1 performers in their respective grade levels. As the highest scoring senior, Joe also won a $1000 scholarship. Awards were given to the top 10 individual finishers at each grade level. The four highest scores for Burroughs at each grade level became the team score for the team competition. The results were a complete first place sweep:
Also delivering strong individual scores were Nick Bach '16 who placed 9th in the ninth grade level and Sachit Bhat '15 who placed 10th in the tenth grade level. Veterans’ Day Members of the student American Patriot Organization recognized the service of veterans and drew specific attention to members of the Burroughs community who gave their lives serving in World War II and to whom the Burroughs Memorial Gym is dedicated. They read part of Robert Laurence Binyon’s For the Fallen: They shall grow not old, as we that are left grow old: Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn. At the going down of the sun and in the morning We will remember them. Scholarships Mr. Abbott read the names of Burroughs’ 51 scholarships, thanked the donors and congratulated the 126 students who are benefiting from these funds this year. He also shared the story of Buzz and Barbara Olin Taylor ’50. After her husband’s death, Dr. Taylor established two full scholarships in his memory. Mr. Abbott said “We’re all here because of someone’s generosity. … The best way to thank them is to take advantage of this opportunity.” Thursday, November 8, 2012 Congratulations to the members of the orchestras and choruses for a great concert last night.
