School: South High School
School: South High SchoolActivities: In addition to taking advanced placement and honors classes, Bryce completed a Red Cross training course to become a peer mentor with Teens Hope, a group that visits middle schools to talk to kids about HIV and AIDS. He also has volunteered at Harry Hynes Memorial Hospice.Accomplishments: Glenda Buche, a South High English teacher, says Bryce is "someone who at some point will make a phenomenal discovery.... He loves to read, loves to question. And he's so understated and unassuming."Future plans: He plans to attend the University of Kansas and major in chemical engineering. He is considering a career in medicine, possibly opening a clinic in south Wichita, where he grew up, "since we don't have many practices on the south side."Interesting fact: Bryce said he owes a lot to his high school instructors, particularly science teacher Kelly Owens, who now teaches at Campus High School in Haysville. "Ms. Owens could make anything interesting, even electron configuration," he said. "She's the best teacher you'd ever find."

Cancer survivor clinic planned
A new Breast Cancer Survivorship Clinic could begin offering services and support to patients by early next year.The clinic, which will help patients return to normal life, is a partnership of the University of Kansas School of Medicine-Wichita and the Mid-Kansas Affiliate of Susan G. Komen for the Cure.It will be patterned after a similar clinic at the University of Kansas Medical Center in Kansas City. That clinic opened in November, and Peggy Johnson of the Mid-Kansas Affiliate said it already has a waiting list.The Wichita clinic will focus on services a woman -- or man -- needs after treatment. That may include helping women deal with the loss of a vital body part or with family issues, Johnson said. It also will help provide access to clinical trials to prevent recurrence of breast cancer and will provide support groups, information on exercise and conditioning, and nutritional advice.Oncologist Tom Schulz said, "We won't be taking care of them. We'll just be focusing on these issues" and working with the patients' oncologists and primary-care doctors. Schulz is an assistant professor at the medical school and the first recipient of its Gaines Professorship to boost cancer research.
