Iman Eulinberg, a member of the Hathaway Brown class of 2015, has committed to participate in NCAA Division I swimming at Wagner College in Staten Island, New York, next fall.

Eulinberg, of Cleveland, signed a letter of intent to become a student-athlete at Wagner College. A consistent contributor to the Blazer swim team, Iman currently holds two varsity relay records, the 200 medley relay and the 200 freestyle relay, and one pool record in the 200 medley relay. In the past two years, Iman has helped the Blazers earn their first Districit Championship and an eighth place finish at the state tournament in 2014, followed by a District Runner-Up and a fourth place finish at states in 2015. Iman will now assist the Wagner Seahawks in the Northeast Conference.

She was joined at this afternoon's ceremony by her family, friends, coaches, and classmates. Head of School Bill Christ and Athletic Director Paul Maes congratulated her for being an excellent role model for her peers.

Congratulations Iman!

This past week, Madeleine Ference ’16, Nitya Thakore ’16, and Aarathi Sahadevan ’16, students in Hathaway Brown’s signature Science Research & Engineering Program, traveled to Houston, Texas to compete in an international science competition. I-SWEEEP, The International Sustainable World (Energy, Engineering, and Environment) Project, is a groundbreaking science fair competition open to high school students from around the world. It is one of the largest science fair event of its kind, bringing together young scientists from more than 60 countries to present more than 500 projects. The mission of I-SWEEEP is to create a collaborative yet competitive environment in which students can present their innovative ideas on today’s challenges in energy, engineering, and the environment, and creating a more sustainable world for tomorrow.

These HB students received all-expenses-paid trips to compete at I-SWEEEP as Finalists, having advanced through HB’s 17th Annual Poster Session judging. HB is awarded spots to I-SWEEEP each year based on the quantity and excellence of the science and engineering research that comes out of the school year after year through the SREP.

At I-SWEEEP, students are exposed to a five-day whirlwind of scientific, cultural, educational, and social events. The centerpiece of the competition is a full day at which each student's research project poster is judged in person by several professional judges. At the end of this year’s competition, the HB students each won bronze medals for their research representing the United States. The students were at I-SWEEEP to present two separate projects: Madeleine Ference and Nitya Thakore conducted medical research in a team project through a lab at the Case Western Reserve University School of Medicine, and Aarathi Sahadevan conducted an individual research project also at the CWRU School of Medicine.

To learn more about I-SWEEEP, please visit the organization’s official website. Congratulations, Madeleine, Nitya, and Aarathi!

Upper School students in Toni Thayer’s Creative Writing Honors class spent this school year working on creative investigations of their own design. On Wednesday, May 20, the girls presented their projects—which ran the gamut from sonnets to songwriting, historical fiction to marketing pop-lit—at a special luncheon reception with parents and faculty in the Anne Cutter Coburn Reception Room. Attendees were treated to readings from an array of amazingly well-written short stories, personal essays, poetry, scenes from a screenplay, and even a beautiful and moving performance of two original songs.

This was the first year for Thayer to make this type of self-motivated long-term project part of her curriculum. The inaugural event was so well received and the quality of the work produced was so impressive that she intends to structure future classes in much the same way. Congratulations to the students enrolled in the 2014-2015 Creative Writing Honors class, all of whom should be very proud of their accomplishments: seniors Bridget Babcox, Lauren Battle, Chloé Biskind, Sayble Bradley, Becca Lambright, Gracie Mowery, Laura Mueller, Kat Phifer, Madeleine Schroedel, and Li Stebner; and junior Isabella Nilsson.

The Princeton Prize in Race Relations was established to "recognize, support, and encourage young people in our country who have demonstrated a commitment to advacing the cause of race relations." Kacey Gill '16 has been honored with a Certificate of Achievement from Princeton University in this annual awards program for high school students. She and Cleveland's Princeton Prize winner Anthony Price, a student at Shaw High School, were celebrated for their work at a special ceremony on May 20. At the ceremony, which was held at Plymouth Church in Shaker Heights, Kacey delivered a very moving acceptance speech, and she and Anthony led attendees in a discussion about race relations. 

These two outstanding young people will continue the dialog on WRUW during Meryl Johnson's public affairs radio program, "It's About Justice" on Saturday, May 23, from 1:30-3:30 p.m. In the Cleveland area, the show will be broadcast on 91.1 FM. You also can tune into the program's livestream on the station's website here.

We're very proud of Kacey and the work she has been doing to increase understanding and mutual respect among all races. 

On January 7, Hathaway Brown seniors Emily Amjad and Emily Spencer were named as semifinalists in the Society for Science and the Public’s Intel Science Talent Search competition (Intel STS). The Intel STS is one of the nation’s most prestigious math and science competitions and rewards rigorous original research conducted by high school seniors. Emily Amjad was recognized for her cardiology research at Case Western Reserve University's (CWRU) School of Medicine and Emily Spencer was awarded for her polymer research at CWRU's School of Engineering.

The girls are two of only five students selected in Ohio and the only private school students selected from Northeast Ohio. Emily Spencer is also the only girl in the state to be recognized by both the Siemens Foundation Competition and Intel STS for her work.

As semifinalists, Amjad and Spencer each win a $1000 prize for themselves, a $1000 prize for Hathaway Brown’s SREP program, and a chance to win between $7,500 and $150,000 an all expenses paid trip to Washington D.C. in March if they are named as finalists.

Congratulations to Emily Amjad and Emily Spencer on their remarkable achievement and hard work and good luck in the next round of judging!

Three members of Hathaway Brown's debate team —Nitya Thakore '16, Aarathi Sahadevan '16 and Lina Ghosh '17  — received a very prestigious honor when their International Public Policy Forum (IPPF) essay qualified as one of the “Top 32” teams internationally for the second year in a row. This team from Hathaway Brown School was also the runner-up in the 2013-14 IPPF competition. 

The IPPF is an international competition of “written debate” sponsored by the Bickel and Brewer law firm and New York University. Teams from 32 states and 21 countries wrote preliminary round essays on the resolution "Resolved: Mass surveillance is not a justified method of governmental intelligence gathering."

The team now moves into the elimination round bracket competing for an all-expenses paid trip to NYC to compete live at the IPPF Finals this coming Spring. They will compete against Team Singapore from Singapore, exchanging written arguments weekly over the next month that will be reviewed by a panel of judges. HB was the only school from Ohio to qualify.

“We are very proud of Hathaway Brown School and all of the teams that advanced in this very competitive global debate challenge,” says William A. Brewer III, partner at the law firm of Bickel & Brewer and a founder of the IPPF. “These students have distinguished themselves as among the best in this unique test of research, writing and advocacy.”

Hathaway Brown also had a second team of Tessa Murthy '15, Emma Bryan '15, and Lexi Anderson '15  that reached the top 64 of the competition. HB was one of eight schools with two qualifying teams.

At the close of the school year, after they complete their exams, Upper School students enrolled in William Adler’s AP Calculus BC class use the skills they’ve gained to try to solve some of the most complex problems presented throughout the history of mathematics. Working in groups of two or three, the girls choose a challenging question to tackle from the book 100 Great Problems of Elementary Mathematics by Heinrich Dorrie.

According to Adler, “the word ‘elementary’ in mathematics can be deceiving. It does not mean easy by any means. It usually means that the proof did not require calculus or set theory. What makes these problems so challenging is that they require the students to interpret and fill in the missing pieces of the proof, use technology to develop a visual lecture, and present it to faculty and peers. The proofs require the students to think strategically and experience, collaboratively, what it is like to be a mathematician.”

When it comes to the complexity of the problems the HB students took on this year, reader reviews of Dorrie’s book help to put things in perspective:

Wonderful book for anyone who A.) is a genius; B.) truly loves mathematics; and C.) doesn't mind discovering that there are things that can be done with algebra that they never dreamed of!

I love this book, and recommend it very highly if you're the type who would like to understand, say, why the Fundamental Theorem of Algebra (every polynomial equation as a (possibly complex) root), is true. Yes, it takes intellectual effort to follow the proofs, but that can be incredibly rewarding, once you finally understand.

If these descriptors pique your interest, Adler highly recommends that you check out Dorrie’s book this summer or any time you really want to put your brain to work.

In the meantime, Lauren Gillinov ’17 and Regan Brady ’17 have shared their presentation for how they solved Edouard Lucas’ Problem of the Married Couples, which asks, “In how many ways can n married couples be seated about a round table in such a way that there is always one man between two women but no man is ever seated next to his own wife?” You can find the impressive steps they took and their well-reasoned explanation here.

This problem was first presented by Lucas in 1891 in his Théorie des Nombres. When it comes to this complex question, English mathematician Rouse Ball said, “the solution is far from easy.”

Congratulations to Lauren and Regan and all of Mr. Adler’s AP Calculus BC students. We can’t wait to see what great problems you’re going to solve next.

A friendly reminder: picture day is Tuesday!  Be sure to have your camper wear his/her camp shirt on Tuesday to be ready for picture day.

Music:  Younger campers are exploring various vocal sounds and musical movement through songs, instruments, and musical games.  Older campers experienced the joy of music by participating in a variety of musical activities.

Lanyard:  We focused on mastering the box and barrel stitches this week.  Some girls used their skills and creativity to work on more complicated lanyards, such as the Corkscrew, DNA, and many more!

Duckland:  This week we read Make Way for Ducklings to get us in the “ducky” mood.  Then, we made our own Mallard family using our hands and thumbs and paint.  It was messy and quacktastic!

Fairyland: The fairies in training went on their first adventure this week to find their very own fairy dust.  The girls were covered in magical dust by the end of their outing!

Mermaids:  The mermaids swam in a relay to find their own sea creatures.  After that, they painted their legs to look like mermaid tails.  Between the glitter and scales, their legs really looked like mermaid tails!

Urban Adventures:  This week we focused on team building activities to develop great relationships with each other.  We made our own coffee filter art, then used these as accessories on our Project Runway outfits, which we made using materials such as garbage bags, paper, and tape.  We also prepared some materials to make jellyfish sculptures at a later date.

Edible Concoctions:  This week, we made pumpkin muffins using spice cake mix and canned pumpkin.  Who knew this simple recipe could be so delicious!

Challenge:  This week was focused on team-building activities and developing trust among each group.  We did this through fun ice breakers and name games.  We also started to develop skills that we will use on the low ropes course.

Improv:  In Improv this week, we worked on using our bodies and voices.  We played a game called Show Me, Tell Me.  For the Show Me part, campers used only movement to communicate, whereas for the Tell Me part, they could only use their voice and no movement.

Games:  Despite the rain, we played a ton of games this week!  There were a wide variety of game played, including kickball, playing with the parachute, and Alphabet Actors.

Table Top Challenges:  In Table Top Challenges, campers have access to various games, including cards, puzzles, math games, collaborative games, and board games.  The focus this week was being able to work together during a game and trying games for the first time.

Crafts: We welcomed in the summer by planting our own sunflowers and making paper sunflowers.  So beautiful!

Ink: In Ink this week, campers made name art, where they created pictures out of their names.  We also used our creativity during some progressive story telling.

Spa:  We used the wonderful scent of fresh oranges to make relaxing sweet orange bath salts.  It will make your bath smell like an orange grove!

Art:  Campers used their creativity to create beautiful textiles.  They drew and painted on fabric. Look for their gorgeous works of art coming home!

Recycle:  The focus of this class is upcycling, which takes gently used or discarded materials and gives them a new life.  Campers used a variety of materials and channeled their creativity and self-expression to create collages describing themselves.  

Kindergarten (Mouse Trap):  The Mouse Trap group is off to a great start!  This week, we made frames for the dads for Father’s day. We also made a variety of crafts and spent a lot of time getting to know each other.  

The three-year olds (Candyland and Chutes and Ladders):  Wow, this week went by so quickly!  We focused on getting to know each other and learning the names of the campers in our group.  We ended the week making delicious popsicles.  Yum!

The four-year olds (Hi-Ho! Cherry-O and Don’t Break the Ice):  This week we focused on studying insects.  We read stories, made craft, and completed investigations all focusing on insects.  We also looked for insects in the garden!  Our special snack this week was Worms in Dirt.  It looked so real!
