The aim of almost every student in school is to become a senior. Reaching the twelfth grade does not just mean Last year, and I'm out or Thank goodness for those extra privileges. This title sig- nifies the accumulation of education for the past twelve years. For this reason seniors are expected to assume a greater part in school activities-both scholasti- cally and socially. In these respects seniors proved the main- stay for journalistic publications, club ac- tivities, athletic events, dramatic produc- tions, and other capacities of leadership. The Football Prom and jam session were gala events planned for the entertainment of other members of the school. Seniors can never forget their two years at Ladue and how endearing it has be- come, . . . from the talking they did in the halls to their remarks, witty and bril- liant, in the classroom.

That the past year's junior class was the most busy, bustling group in the school was evident in everyday school life. Two activities they started will probably re- main as Ladue tradition. These are the Ram's Den, and the Fashion Show with junior girls displaying ability by modeling clothes donated by one of St. Louis' lead- ing fashion stores. In this way juniors financed the annual Junior-Senior Prom which turned out to be quite the success as the entire class helped not only to pay for it, but also to decorate and provide a good time for themselves and the seniors. Juniors provided a good time for grades nine through twelve by organizing the Ram's Den offering an enjoyable pastime for Friday evenings. No one will be able to forget the champion football team. Juniors constituted a great part of this team and also basketball and baseball var- sity squads. They also took part in writing the high school's newspaper and yearbook as well as participating in dra- matic productions. To put it mildly, the Junior Class of '54 contributed a wholesome, all-round por- tion of school life. uniora Miss C0oK's HOMEROOM: D deck, Handelman, Anderson, Brockman, Kiehl, Taussig First Row: Brown, Willenbrock, Mooney, u Christenson, Keiser.

Had the Sophomore Class planned only the Winterlude this past year, their record would never have been forgotten. Chair- men of this dance's various committees se- lected from the Social Committee helped launch the winter holiday season in a truly festive manner. But this enterprising class also contributed to the school's in- creasingly better sports record by doing well in football, winning all its hockey games, and surging to many victories with their basketball team. Trying hard at anything it started and co-operating to bring its undertaking out on top, this class seems to present next year's Seniors strong backing, both in sports and extra-curricular activities.

This year's ninth grade class occupied a prominent part in school life by sharing in athletics and extra-curricular activities. Although the football squad dropped the majority of their games, the boys gained in experience which will be valuable to next year's team. The basketball team fared better by winning most of their con- tests. This might have been due to the cheerleaders-a new idea in ninth grade classes at Ladue. Social-wise, parties held at school by the class were the Icebreaker in Winter and February's Hatchet Hop. jfedhlnen MR.

The smallest classes in form but by no means in number, the seventh and eighth grades planned many events to make them all the more a part of our high school. By the end of this year the seventh graders managed to dissolve the ties of their sepa- rate schools from which they came at the 31 beginning of the school year and become one class. They also planned a successful party in the spring. The eighth grade's big social event was the Snowball held December 11. A boys' chorus, under Miss Beverly Yates' direction was also formed in the class. .S2uenfL ana! Eghk glracled Mn.

This time-honored quotation, so revered by many patriotic citizens, can also apply to us, the students of Ladue. To lead us in making our school right or wrong is the Student Council. Mem- bers of this board will be able to remem- ber, in future years, the lengthy, tedious hours spent with Mr. Richard Stauffer, advisor of the board, discussing and plan- ning our high school's government. With the abolishment of the Student Court this year, the Student Council was invested with the power of correcting offenders of school law. In addition, much of the Stu- dent Assembly's power to ratify or veto laws was withdrawn and given to the ex- ecutive board for the purpose of speeding up the process of law-making. It is felt that not only the members of the Student Council, but also the students in their town-meeting assemblies gained experience in surveying a situation and making laws to suit it, as well as practic- ing the American way of life-democracy. enior anal junior .glafing 66165 Although the Skating Club could not boast of any Barbara Ann Scotts, the members had an enjoyable time trying to better their skating skill.

In like manner, the RAM- BLER may be accorded the title of history book, except for its shorter length of space and time. This year juniors as well as seniors, incorporated as the journalism class, helped put the volume together. We, the staff of this annual, have strived to enclose a general account of the second year of Ladue High School's existence. A Wonderful experience was shared by those who helped make this book possible. We hope that it will recall to your mind the wonderful experience of having lived it.

A new policy this year was taking the responsibility of publishing the paper from the Junior class and giving it to the Journalism class. Advised by Mr. Hoadley, the class learned the meaning of deadlines, when it came to putting out this publication.

Throughout the year the music department has not only presented many fine pro- grams, but has provided an opportunity for all those students with musical inter- ests to participate in them. The band, under the direction of Mr. George Turmail, made concert tours to the elementary schools and appeared several times at P.T.A. meetings and assemblies. 40 udic eiaarfmenf Several members were selected for the All-County Band. Miss Yates directed the three choral groups: the chorus, special chorus, and junior high chorus. Those groups took part in the Christmas program, spring concert, and Baccalaureate service, and other school assemblies. Limited to 21 members who serve for a period of two years, the Theatre Board promotes dramatics throughout the school by instilling a will to work on plays among students. The past year the Board aided in the production of the autumn play, the variety show, and a spring play. The membership is divided into two parts: Junior and Senior. Those of the latter usually hold a chairmanship of a special committee such as: publicity, make-up, and other phases of play production. Mr. Frank J akes, sponsor of the Theatre Board, helped guide meetings. New mem- bership is determined by applications sent in by students interested in working on dramatic productions.

CM Passing Room 200 on Thursdays after school, one not familiar with our high school might imagine that we were being invaded by Germansg but the truth is, it was probably just the German Study Club Newly formed this year and advised by Mr. Eugene Schmidt and Mrs. Helen Weis, the club made a study of the German lan guage and culture and through a reading circle received practice in colloquial Gel man. Members also exercised their vocal cords through a singing circle with se el l'l'l6ll'l . President: Drosten, Paddon. lections of old and new German tunes. Due to the Ladue Legion, our Latin Club, the so-called dead language has had reason to live again. Under the guidance of Mr. Eugene Schmidt, the club enjoyed a variety of meetings, with the highlight of the year taking place in December, the Saturnalian Banquet. This Was attended by students and teachers from other schools who viewed along with the Roman citizens from Ladue, attractive travelogue movies on Italy. Hearing lec- tures and playing typical Latin games con- tributed to enlarging the students' appre- ciation of this language. If you could answer Oui, je parle fran- cais to the question. Parlex-vous fran- cais? you were eligible for membership to this club. Meetings were held about once every five weeks at members' homes. allglldge They consisted of French games, speakers, such as one from Country Day, and a Christmas party. The highlight of the latter festival was the Galette du Roi by which a French coin was concealed in a cake. Movies on France and French cus- toms were discussed and French songs translated and sung. Those students who knew a bit more about the Spanish language than the viewers of Wranglers' Club on television do, were qualified for membership in the Spanish Club. Sponsored by Mrs. Helen Weis, the group enjoyed movies, slides, and at Christmas, a typical Spanish celebration of this gay holiday. This club was fortu- nate in having a member who had lived in Cuba for some time, therefore, first-hand information was always obtainable. j Lxrrx CLUB: l FRI-INCII CLl'n: Eynon.

WMA., CAA An organization requiring a bit more skill than other groups in school was the Radio Club, sponsored by Mr. William Jonkheer. Learning about the theory of radio, most members have the distinction of having passed their Federal Communication Ex- amination, thus obtaining an F.C.C. li- cense. This allows them to operate radio transmitters. The boys put on a movie in the spring, the proceeds of which Went toward equipment by which they will be able to talk with other ham operators.

Mathematical short-cuts and slide rules, especially Mr. De Armond's seven-foot one, were employed in solving problems offered to the above pictured mathematicians. cience Astronomy, physics, chemistry, biology, and geology are subjects that would seem- ingly appeal to only the highest scientists of the World. But at our school, the sev- enth and eighth grades have also found sufficient interest to talk and Work to- gether on these different scientific fields.

Their '53 season was predicted to improve, but the team was still expected to remain in the cellar.

The teams trounced by the Soph Rams were Ferg- uson, St. Charles, and Brentwood. The lone tie was against the newly formed Lindbergh high, and the single loss to Normandy by only one point. The freshman team gained a great deal of experience under the leadership of Coach Schroeder. They opened their season against the sophomores and lost 26-6. Lindbergh was the next opponentg they were downed by the frosh in a thriller 9-6. They lost their last three encounters to Wellston, Fer- guson, and Wydown.

Our basketball team, which Won only one game on their first year of competition, played admirably this season and com- piled an overall record of 4 wins and 15 losses. Many of the games lost were by close scores. Ladue had a 2-9 Suburban record, placing them in eleventh place. Statistics show that the Rams scored an average of 45 points a game to the opponents' 51. Stu Kornfeld totaled 302 points during the season, averaging 16 points a game, for a school record. Kornfeld was third high- est scorer in the league, surpassed only by two All-District players.

Their unusual aggressiveness, spirit, equ- ally distributed scoring abilities, and fine defensive Work shown throughout the sea- son are contributions which future Ram teams can expect. The freshman team completed a thirteen- game season by winning 6 and dropping 7. They were hindered by numerous injuries. They started strong by winning the first four games, but the streak was broken by U. City in a close game. With many out- standing players, they will be a great help to the B team next year.

VARSITY SOCCER Under the able leadership of Coach Neil- son, the soccer team enjoyed a very suc- cessful season. After a slow start Neil- son's kickers won three games and tied John Burroughs, one of the top teams in the district. ln their last few games the Rams were without some of their key players because of injuries and failed to show the determination that they had earlier in the season. However, with the help of some fine play from some of the better members of the B team, Ladue finished the season on a good note. B SOCCER The B team was organized this year and had a successful season. Coach Neil- son divided his time between the Varsity and B teams, teaching the sophomores the fundamentals and incorporating them in scrimmages against the Varsity Rams. The kickers compiled an overall record of three wins, two ties, and four losses, which merits Commendation. Every boy on the squad had a chance to play in each game to gain experience for varsity competition. First 11010: Arthur, Ehrhardt, Kornfeld, Shaffer, A.

Up until the end of the season the scores were 1-1. Since this was tiring, the girls managed a change and made it 0-0 in their last game. In comparison this season was far better than last, considering that last year's rec- ord was a list of defeats.
