Dedication The Editors of the 1982 COIDASCO are pleased to dedicate this yearbook to Marcia and Bill Werre- meyer. The contributions that these two people have made to St. Louis Country Day are so numerous and so important that the Editors had no trouble in choose ing who to dedicate the book to. And although half ol The Team has departed Country Day to care lor their newlyeborn girl, Molly , the school can look forward to many more years of Mr. Werrenneyer leads ing the Math Department. Marcia came to Country Day in l970 as an Admin- istrative Aid, but for some strange reason, her last name was Hunsinger! Bill took care of that, however, more than half-aedecade later when he had her name changed to Werremeyer. It was a perfect match, but some skeptics wondered which ol' the two got the short end ol' the deal. And finally, after years of hard work, the Werremeyefs became parents with the birth of Margaret Werremeyer this Fall. Unfortunately, Marcia was forced to leave Country Day because of her new commitments as a mother. But no one will ever forget what she did and how she did it. She was Secretary to the Assistant Headmas- ter, but she also made sure the school was running. Compiling schedules, listening to students give suspise cious excuses as to why they were tardy, calling sick students, typing up the daily report - all were what Marcia did and did well. But above all, Marcia was a friend to any student with a problem or question. She cared about what she did, and thus we will all miss Marcia's big bright smile and fun personality. Mr. Werremeyer also came to Country Day in 1970 while his father was still a teacher. Presently, he is Chairman of the Math Department and Faculty Advi- sor of the Math Team, which has done well in inter- scholastic competition in past years. Anyone who has been in one of his math classes knows the quality of his teaching and what it means to be one of his stu- dents. He is a credit not only to Country Day, but also to his profession! But Mr. Werremeyer can also be seen outside the classroom on the football field. He has been Assistant Coach to numerous playoll' teams and two State Championship teams. Working with the defense, he has always seemed to take the smallest players and create one of the strongest defenses in the area. Students as well as athletes respect this man, and we all hope that he will continue to do what he has done so well for 12 years, Therefore, we are proud and honored as Editors to be able to dedicate this edition of the CODASCO to Marcia and Bill Werremeyer.

the Letter from Editors . Surprised? Well, you probably should be since this yearbook is quite different from East ones. The prob- em with editing a yearbook is t at you can't please everyone all the time. Life's tough, ain't it? This year, we took a bold new approach and broke from tradi- tion. Therefore, we, t e Editors of the CODASCO, could like to introduce NA Change of Seasons. In the past, the theme of the yearbook was only handled in the first 16 padges. We wanted to develop a theme that really applie to the Country Day Com- munity. During the summer we discussed many possi- bilities with our advisor, Mr. Bruce MacKenzie. Our two 'ffinalists' were: a parody about The Preppy Handbook and a trip back to the movies of the Twen- ties. We flipped a coin, and A Change of Seasons won. Remarkable, hunh? Anyway, you will see a defi- nite and continuing theme throughout the entire book. Don't expect to find all the sports or all the activities grouped together. The sports are grouped according to seamsora, aid ghe actiriitges alre interspersed through- out t e oo.. o muc or t eme. If you are reading this, you have already seen the cover of the CODA e CO. Past yearbook covers have been traditional, repetitous, and expensive. So, this year, we decided on progressive, innovative, and very pxpensive! Please don't reject it just because it's dif- erent. Not all changes have to be radical. We actually took a conservative view as to how Senior Padges would be designed. Instead of the haphazard and is- organized pages of past books, you will see some continuity and unity to the Seniors Section. We be- lieve this improves the qualitg of the CODASCO as a whole. We apologize to any enior who feels that we dictated too much. We just wanted to create a fin- ished product that would make the,School feel proud. Without the help of the following people, we would not have been able to complete this incredible task: Mr. Steve Weitz of K8cS Photographics twho let us print our own pictures at a nominal costj Drake Pow- ers, head of the photography staff twho sacrificed much time and effort so that we would have pictures for our deadlinesj, Mr. Jim Combs and Mrs. Doris Busch of Josten's, and Mr. Bruce MacKenzie, our faithful Yearbook Advisor.
