And then, all those laps around the field until you wish that it's the field that's doing the spinning instead of you. Or the laps in the pool, after which dry ground never feels so good. What about the constant thump- ing of that basketball, sounding like someone's drilling in your head, or the hot and stuffy wres- tling room when you could feel water dripping all over your face, and it isn't even raining. The thrust of the rifle after each fire, the aching muscles, the sweaty shirts, and the stinking, molding socks make you won- der why? But that's not the end of the day. Then you have to sit and listen to leaders giving orders, Write this article by tomor- row, Take these pictures Thursday, says Joe. Lift those legs higher and keep the steps to the music, and sing out please, says Mr. Mehl. Outside it's dark and very cold. Books are slipping out of your hand as you grope your way to your car in the empty parking lot. You think that the day's over, but then you painful- ly remember that Mr. Hansen is giving a test on the derivatives tomorrow, while Mr. Taylor requires a short story. And what about those verbs to conjugate? Your eyes are sore, your muscles ache, and why? For those A's, that touchdown, the victories, the bull's eye, the pin. It all comes down to one thing, to be noticed. It's only natu- ral. :radii E Q- an-fp. Q - ,- rf Q U . M521 rw .

So this year's CODASCO is dedicated to those who contribute to their studies, to their teams, their clubs and organizations and to the school. Everyone is noticed. Happy Recounting the history of Country Day, Dr. Johnson named the eleven Founders who established this institution for the better education of young boys, an institution still strong after seventy years. During intermission, Jonathon Chun showed his talent as he entertained the audience with his virtuosity on the violin. E e Named as the Distinguished Alumnus for 1986, Dr. Walter F. Gellhorn recalled his early J days at Country Day and his as- Y r sociation with the Founders. Having mentioned all the accomplishments of Dr. Gellhorn, Mr. John L. Gillis, Jr. presented to Dr. Gellhorn the Country Day Distinguished Alumnus Award for 1986. 70th Birthday Country Day celebrates its birthday with Founders Day: Dr. Walter F. Gellhorn honored as distinguished alumnus When something's 70 years old, it's about to fall to pieces, but Country Day still keeps on going. With all the turbulance of the past seventy years, Country Day still rises above them all and remains one of the best private educational institutions. To celebrate its success and to commemorate the Founders of the school, Dr. Johnson and the Board of Trustees declared that September 27, 1987 be the first Founders' Day, as well as a day to rededicate the Danforth Chapel and to present the 1986 Distinguished Alumnus Award. The Founders' Day proceedings began with Headmaster John R. Johnson telling of the original Founders of Country Day and of the first year of school in 1917. There were eleven Founders of the school, the first being Judge and Mrs. George C. Hancock, who with other parents of the community wanted to found a new school in place of the closing Smith Academy. The interest was great, and the necessary funds were raised. The Julius Walsh home became the primary sight for the school. The first Board of Trustees meeting was called on May 12, 1917. Mr. Ralph Hoff- man became the first headmaster. That fall, the school officially opened. ln June of 1947, Robert Cunningham, Headmaster from 1946 to 1953, suggest- ed that the growing Lambert Airport cre- ated problems which could only be solved by a move of the school. ln 1951, a site next to Mary Institute was chosen. ln 1952, 56 acres were purchased and con- struction was ready to begin. Over the 1957-58 Christmas Holidays, the move took place. Since September 29, 1917, Country Day has never stopped growing and striving to achieve the goals of its motto: Uscire, credere, posse , Hto know, to believe, and to be able. Following the presentation by Dr. John- - r i son, Walter Gellhorn was presented the Distinguished Alumnus Award for his re- markable achievement as teacher, scholar, and public servant. Dr. Gelhorn was a gra- duate of Country Day in 1923. He had received the distinction as the world's fore- most authority on administrative law and a leader in legal education. Dr. Gelhorn now serves by Presidential appointment as a member of the Council of the Administra- tive Conference of the United States. The final portion ofthe Founders' Day program was the rededication of Danforth Chapel. The funds to renovate the Chapel were provided by parents, alumni, and friends of Country Day with the Parents' Association donating S175,000 raised at last year's auction. As Willie Epps com- mented, it's the parents and the alumni that make Country Day what it is, the very best. Jason Saghir, '88 N . 1 fl Q1 M' fl.7,y, N YN,..N ,vy,W NIO?

The first Waterpolo game, and we dunked them. The students rallied the teams on with their Friday shirts, and many cheers. It was a beginning for many more victories. Then Red and White Day came along, and out with the red wigs, red lipsticks, and red mousse and hair paint. The school gathered and lis- tened to the M.l. Cheerleaders as they rallied the team to defeat Burroughs. And the fun of A Country Day, the games, the food, the music, the prizes. Each booth had something fun to offer whether it be the Seniors' miniature golf course or the underclassmen's baseball toss. There were prizes for everyone, whether it was a pink stuffed animal or some strange charm. So it rained, but that didn't discourage the crowd from having a good time. Nor did it keep the Rams from massa- creing Lutheran South. What about that camping trip? What camping trip? The class six trip down to the Mera- mac State Park. What better way to get to know each other than to face the wild together and have the best time cooking, cleaning, canoeing, and partying around the camp fire? Or taking a day off like the class fivers, and explore a cave, or a lake, or a cliff. To sit down and learn how to write, as the fall breezes blow by. To climb a small cliff and study the rock formations. To tour a museum and ex- amine all the artifacts. The list goes on and on. Life at Country Day is never boring. lf it's not sports in the afternoon, then it is play- ing cards with the buddies. lf it's not doing homework during free periods, it's sleeping in the library, chatting in the Commons, playing football in the Codasco Corner, or just relaxing in the Senior Lounge. There are also re- hearsals for Grease, and club meet- ings, and parties, and dances, and mil- lions of chances to get together and have fun, to receive notice. 4 . -PM' JW. Why Cn Tuesday? An unusual thing happened on the day after Labor Day. lt was the first day of school, on a Tuesday. Tues- day? Why not Thursday like normal first days of school? Students, still tired from only 10 hours of sleep, lumbered into their morning announcement locations. Most of the people looked familiar, more tanned perhaps, but still the good old friends. Suddenly the fatigue disappeared, and everyone started chattering. They were full of stories to tell, Bob Mckelvey of his trip to Ger- many, David Nalesnik of his summer in Music Camp, or Phil Senturia of his visit to Israel. Some were comparing their schedules to see if they got Mr. Potter for Biology or Mr. Hinrichs, others were trying to find out who the new teachers were. Everyone was try- ing to say everything in less than fif- During a free period, Junior John Pruellage took a short nap in the library to recover from the first day's tiring classes. teen minutes. The rooms that were quiet a few hours before were filled with voices and laughter. It was the post-vacation high. After calming down, they began to notice the new chapel and the music being played on the organ as they en- tered. As usual, the first period class was an assembly in which Dr. Johnson told everyone about the seven new teachers. Everyone gave them a warm welcome as they each stood up when introduced. Dr. Johnson explained the privi- leges of being able to attend an institu- tion so well respected for its academic, athletic and extracurricular achieve- ments, but many students were think- ing of their own privileges: Seniors could leave campus and could eat out, juniors could drive to school, class sixers could spend their first week at camp. After Dr. Johnson's address, the new student council president, Willie Epps, explained his plans for the up- coming year. These included more events with Mary Institute, such as pic- nics and other social events, more charity drives, and other commit- ments. He and the student council were ready to make the school year a fun and learning year. As the students piled out of the Chapel, they were ready to face a new year, well at least until the end of the day. Books in hand, they went to the last ten minutes of first period class. 'Tm sorta glad we're back, com- mented a student as he and his friends filed out of the Chapel. by Arthur Weise, '89 va .- . 'Q' r 4 L. 4 , 6' rf. g - - f 1' ., o + 1 U -J, .

Blue-jeans are illegal during school, so jean-jack ets take their place. Totally oo! 1 Cool's a feeling, a statement, a state of being when you know what you're doing's right. It's knowing that you got what it takes and you're not afraid to show it. lt's knowing you're cool. Cool's also what's hot or in, like hot cars. This year's hottest cars on campus include these below: 1. 1987 Porsche 944- John Momtazee and Dan Theodoro 2. 1987 Pontiac Trans Am- Will Strong 3. 1984 BMW 325e- John Ridgeway 4. .1983 Chevrolet Corvette- Brian Suffian 5. 1983 BMW 633csi- Fred Kloecker Some other cool things around cam- .A pus this year as far as clothes go are Nike, Reebok, and New Balance high tops, preferably white. Another piece of clothing which is popular this year is the braided or woven wrist band. They come in all different colors and pat- terns and are worn singularly or in a bunch, usually on the left wrist or an- kle. It's also fashionable to wear jungle fatigue pants, complete with ankle drawstrings and multiple pockets down the legs, but Friday shirts and jerseys are always cool. The right music includes everyth- ing from rock to rap, punk to new wave. The newest and best kinds of rock includes Def Leppard, Rush, Yes, and Aerosmith. On the top of the rap charts are Run DMC, The Beastie Boys, and L.L. Cool J. For punk, it's the Dead Kennedys and the Violent Flemmes. However, if your're leaning toward the new wave side, it's the Psy- chedelic Furs or R.E.M. We clon't want to skip the cool classes. Some of the coolest classes among the upperclassmen are Animal Behavior, Neurophysiology, A.P. Physics, A.P. American Gov't, English Ill, and Anatomy, Finally, some of the cool places to eat lunch during school include Gras- si's, McDonald's, Snapps, Jack in the Box, l.ion's Choice, Hardee's, and the cafeteria when they've got hoagies or toasted ravioli. These are the in things to clo. But there are many more, such as blue jeans, and jean jackets, ear rings and Rams horns shaved in the head. There's playing cards in the senior lounge or sitting for tea on Wednesday afternoon. What's cool then? Well, if you have to ask, then it's not it. lt's an attitude. Will Strong, '88 iw. l y I What's more cool than seniors, Friday shirts and football jerseys? Not much! 46 Free Periods All students face the problem of what to do on their free periods. Some of the more studious students choose to go to the library and have some peaceful study time. While there are pros and cons to this, the library is generally the best study area in the school. Students can also go to the commons, upper or lower schools, or the AV room to study, although these tend to get noisy or distracting. Many students choose to get help from their teachers during their free periods, al- though this option is not quite as com- monly used. The art department lets students come down to the art room to work on their projects during free periods, and many students can be found .there throughout the day. Another area fre- quented is the computer room, where students can work on homework or just discover new computer things. One option that almost every stu- dent takes advantage of being able to eat lunch during free periods. lt used to be than an entire class ate at one time, family style, but most students like it better now. For the seniors, there is the option to go to the senior lounge, or to leave campus for a while. Although these options are open to seniors only, offi- cially, many juniors do these things, risking detention in the latter case, and execution in the former. There is always the snack bar to hang out in, or the gym, or just sitting in the benches on front of May Hall. Phillip Senturia, '88 Many students study or work on computers during their free periods. Although it is quieter in the library, it is also stuffier.

With a gentle toss, Zach Williams thought he could win the tic-tac-toe game. David Nuzum, on the other hand, felt that with great concentration, he could aim that ball right at the upper right corner for the tic-tac-toe. Wet Success This year's A Country Day was a great success despite cold and rainy weather. It was the worst weekend, but it had to be A Country Day. How- ever, this did not stop people from coming out and having fun. Everyone dressed warmly, with three or four lay- ers, at least one of which was a Friday Shirt or a football jersey. Each class had something that peo- ple wanted to try. There were all sorts of prizes for the sometimes skilled and sometimes lucky winners. They ranged from posters to California Rai- sin mugs, from cash to stuffed flamin- goes. The seniors had the golf game that had a tough time due to the rain, but people played anyway. The ju- nior's booth with its blaring stereo drew quite a crowd to try the dart game. But more attractive was the sophomore booth where money was tossed and won. Their booth earned the most, breaking last year's record. Freshmen had the spider jump game while the class fivers had both the Tic-Tac-Toe game and the all new Wheel of Fortune. Class six had the electric snake booth where contes- tants tried to take a ring off a rod without setting off the buzzers. Class seven had a ring toss around rolled up posters, and class eight had the most ingenious booth, the cookies and brownies booth. They sold home- made cookies, brownies and most im- portantly, hot coffee and hot choco- late to warm the chilling bones. S.A.D.D. had a booth where students tossed beer cans into the garbage can to win prizes. Mrs. Lou Ellen Ruocco, a class five mother in charge of the booths, stated, Despite the bad weather, the kids seem to be having a good time. This was clearly evident when the money was counted. Every class made more money than expected. A Country Day is always the one event that usually gets rained on, Dr. Johnson conceded, but that doesn't matter, because it doesn't really both- er the younger kids, and they're the ones who enjoy the games the most. I think it's great that the classes, and the organizations put this togeth- er, added Mr. Guilliams. Everyone had a good time, even teachers. I won two posters and a stuffed ice cream cone, so l'm going home hap- py, he commented as he displayed his prizes. David Engman, '90 'YI ,.

A t' ts At lflbrk The arts have always been an im- working on new productions such as portant part of a CDS education be- cause you can't be a well rounded per- son without at least minimal exposure to the arts. At CDS the opportunities for experiencing the arts include paint- ing, sculpture, photography, drama, vocal music, instrumental music, and industrial arts. The art department is constantly be- ing updated and improved. The paint- ing, sculpture and photography classes all take place under the library and theatre. There is a dark room, pottery wheels, all manners of studio art materials. Next door is the theatre, with dressing rooms, theatre props, all ready for the coming production of Grease. The students are constantly Lower School's production of Coyote. The industrial arts studio in Dan- forth building is fully equipped to han- dle all sorts of wood and plastic cre- ations. Next door, the Upper School Glee Club is rehearsaling for its Christmas production, singing such Christmas fa- vorites as Deck the Hall, and Jin- gle Bell. In Danforth Chapel, the bands are warming up for their annual Christmas performances. Whatever types of arts, Country Day has it all, it's the decision of which to take that's hard, commented Senior Son Nhan. I wanted to try everything but just don't have the time.

N S 19 Sl NX M l' N AN Quagmire Ah, the joys of being in Class Six, and especially Mr. Smentowski's sci- ence class. Mr. Smen loves to let every student experience what is apparently his most beloved thing in nature, the pond. But even Mr. Smen gets sick of the CDS Pond, and for that reason, every year, he takes his Class 6 stu- dents to the ponds and lakes at the Brush Wildlife Reserve. His students, of course, think anything is better than school, and eagerly await the outing. But little did this year's sixers know what awaited them. There had not yet been a year in which a sixer had not lost his shoe, or some other vital part of his paraphernalia. Thick, foot-grab- bing mud seemed to be more common than water, and the sixers never seemed to mind it as they ran about doing their experiments. Mr. Smen was also used to these trials and tribu- lations, as mud clinged to everyone's shoes and pants. On the trip, the students were asked to perform a number of experiments to evaluate the water in the pond and the surrounding areas. Using a yard stick tied to a sled, the students mea- sured the depth of the pond. With nets and buckets, they fished for speci- mens. Using the data collected, the students then compared the number of life forms to the physical character- istics of the pond, and using these data they graphed and charted the charac- teristics. lt was a fun experience, and everyone seemed to enjoy the excur- sion, even this year's sixers.

There they were allowed to spend 45 min- utes looking at books in a transformed M.l. dance studio. But this year, Coun- try Day decided to have its own Book Fair. This certainly satisfied the Eng- lish teachers, who in most cases no longer had to dismiss their students from classes to go to M.l. Instead, the students used their free periods to go to the book fair. The students thought it was better now that they didn't have to walk all the way over to M.I. and get lost trying to find the dance studio. But now it was right in the Alumni Room. There was a greater range of books to choose from at the CDS fair be- cause the books were more boy-orient- ed unlike the cook books and the teen- age romances that dominated the M.I. fair. The fair had such books as Ste- phen King's thrillers, Encyclopedia Brown's detective stories, Agatha Christe's mysteries, and Silver Riders' science fiction tales. However, most popular with the Country Day crowd seemed to be the poster-size pictures of Porsches and Fieros, and the Gar- field and the Far Side cartoon books. Many students did their Christmas shopping at the fair, buying books as presents for parents, on the parents' bill. Others bought books to contribute to the school library, a supplement to its thousands of volumes. The fair was a great hit, bringing in more money than expected, comment- ed a mother. The kids enjoyed it. She hoped that the tradition continue. Scott Wilkens, '89 To be the best, Ted Fouke must struggle against Sean Edwards.

' 'Practice ' ' Summer: parties, sun-bathing, food, sleep, and all the pleasures of life. Then Fall: football, soccer, waterpolo and cross country began. Then pain, sweat, cramps and hours of practice. That's how it was. After three months of having fun, football camp began, which meant coming to school every day, running endlessly, tackling dummies and com- pleting all the drills under the blazing sun. Waterpolo players hit the pool, swimming laps and laps around until they were water-logged and drowned, only to be forced to swim some more. Cross country runners took the road, running as much as nine miles a day until their feet blistered, their legs limped up the last few yards. Soccer players drilled daily, chasing X that ball around, kicking and passing until they felt they were going to pass out only to learn that would mean more screens to run. Then Halloween, and Thanksgiving, and turkey and stuffings, and choco- late candies. But again came push-ups, and weight liftings, and running more laps and swimming more laps, and more work and work and work to make the basketball teams, the wres- tling teams, the riflery teams, the swimming teams and the soccer teams. Why all the pain? Because they wanted to get in shape, to lose those pounds and build those muscles. They wanted to make the teams and com- pete for victories. Joe Gira, '89 .

By the serene lake, Class fivers relax and write about the past. It was fun because we got to see what we were learning for real instead of just pictures. At the Jefferson Barracks Museum, the Class fivers visit the stable where horses roam. They experience the life of an early settler. Deep in thought, Mark Paskar wonders who were the early settlers. l-if From observing the different strata of the cliff, Jason Diestelhorst, Matt Brooks, and Mr. Mat- suda attempt to speculate the cliff's history. Class 5 Uuting On October 20, Class 5 took a field trip to various sites near the Missis- sipppi River in South St. Louis. It was a beautiful autumn day with tempera- tures in the mid-seventies. The stu- dents spent the day involved in activi- ties centered around History, Science, and English. The class fivers were divided into four groups, each group visiting an area at different times. Each area had different interests worth exploring. At the intersection of I-270 and l- 44', students under the instruction of Mr.Matsuda gathered rock samples from the cliff. Then together they tried to classify and identify the various lay- ers. It was a lot of fun, commented Jeff Newman as he explained how he and his group gathered various rocks. At the pavillion at Cliff Cave Park overlooking the Mississippi River, Mr. Williams held a lecture on writing good compositions. Taking advantage of the serene surroundings and incorporating them into their stories, the class fivers wrote about the journey of Marquett and Darliette down the river. At Jefferson Barracks, the class fiv- ers under the guidance of Mr. Dicken- son, visited the historical museum and debated the root of the U.S. Constitu- tion. This was done in honor of the Constitution's 200th birthday. The fourth group went spelunking with Mr. Smentowski. They explored the cave and learned about its forma- tion millions of years ago. lt was really exciting, explained Chris Pickett. He got to see the actual cave instead of just pictures of it. We got to explore and see what we've learned. We understood things bet- ter. The interdisciplinary field trip was one of the first of its kind. Most stu- dents and faculty agreed that it was a huge success and that they enjoyed it. We learned more. Things are more spread out, a broader view, added Newman.

Da di tions Tradition is an important part of CDS life, and it falls upon the shoulders of the seniors to see that the traditions are upheld. Some of these traditions include not walking on the Country Day seal. Whenever a guide is giving a tour to the prospective student, he explains this tradition and the im- portance of the motto: Scire, Cre- dere, Posse. It is also a tradition to throw the first senior to be accepted into col- lege into the pond to placate the Pond God and to insure perhaps the acceptance of many more. Then there's Red and White Day, when yellow and blue are en- emy colors. Burroughs dummies are thrown into the blazing fire. The Rams put on their war paint and defeat the bombers. The seniors are responsible for keeping the spirit alive. They too have traditions, such as decorating the senior lounge, raiding Mary In- stitute, throwing the senior pranks, and on top of that, they have to lead the school in the rally and the victory. It's something seniors love to do. Phil Senturia, '88 Jay Lane searches through his locker for tomor row's assignment. .

They paddled about fourteen miles in canoes for two days, then hiked three miles in the next day. In addition, they went spe- lunking and swimming in the Meramec River, camped out in tents, and cooked their own meals. The idea of the trip was conceived by Mrs. Bull, Mrs. Altvater, and Mr. Jacobi. They felt that such an outing would pull the class together. The class was divided into five groups, each under the supervision of a faculty and a guide from the S.T.R.E.A.M., a regional outfitting agency. S.T.R.E.A.M. provided the equipment and know-how to make the outing fun. Each group cooked its own meals, pitched its own camp sites, and collect- ed its own wood for camp fires. The teachers were mere supervisors. Mr. Smen felt that everyone had different experiences depending on who they were with. Some were home-sick, oth- ers just didn't like the food. I found out what the woods and camping were like, commented Alex Engelsmann, but he felt that the food his group cooked turned out totally gross. With the banquet of burgers and beans, the sixers reminisced over the trip, and many felt that the experience did help them to get to know others. Mrs. Bull commented that it was lots of fun.

Just looking back at those years and counting all the things our class have done together, all the problems our class have faced, it's amazing we've gotten this far. Remember the lower school years, when every upperclassman seemed to tower over us, when Mr. Duncan used to call everyone Charlie, when Fri- day afternoons were spent for activi- ties, and C.I. classes were talking about sex. It was our class that was the guinea pigs for such experiments as Phenomenon of Language, or C.I. classes. It was our class that wrote the lower school Senate Constitution. Then in the middle school, we were surprised by our grades in Mr. Rivinus' class. We decided on our foreign lan- guages. We made money with apple carts, car washes, and other fund-rais- ers. We went on trips to the Purina Farm, and McDonnell Douglas. We made plans for more class trips and activites. As upperclassmen, we saw the pass- ing of a new student constitution, we began new fund-raisers and donations, we helped more charities and opened ourselves to the community. As Juniors, we threw our first prom. It was held at the Chase, and we called it CODASCO VICE. lt was a great success. Now as seniors, we're better than ever before. With Willie Epps as Presi- dent of the Student Council, Nick Pen- niman as President of the class, we've brought great leadership to the school, Class of 88, we've done it all. el e .. 4. 4 a V, J.

And to the loser, the only thing left for him is a one hundred percent resolution, a one hundred percent determination. And it's . . . a great deal like life in that it demands a man's personal commitment be toward excellence and be toward victory, even though you know that ultimate victory can never be completely won. Yet it must be pursued with all of one's might. And each week there's a new encounterg each year a new challenge.

But the spirit, the will to win, and the will to excelg these are the things that endure. And these are the qualities ., that are so much more important than any of the events that occasion them.

'A Everyone's different here at Coun- try Day. Each person has his own spe- cial way of doing things, his own inter- ests, his own talents, and his own friends. The variety therefore is what makes Country Day so special, what makes everyone special. Some people are musical geniuses, like David Kang on the piano and Jon- athon Chun on the violin, while others are artistic geniuses, like Sherwin Chen with his realistic sketches of dragons and other monsters. Some are brilliant mathematicians, like Momo, who can find the value of pi up to 100 digits, or David Silber, who finished B-C Calculus as a sopho- more. Some people are outstanding writ- ers who can create magical worlds and great heroes and heroines. They can tell of loves lost, battles won, of tragic deaths and humorous revivals in words that only poets can write. These are the Rob Kloeckers, the Spencer Coils. Then there are the scholars, stu- dents who have never failed a test, never missed a homework, always got- ten good grades no matter how hard the course. These are the class deturs, the Jason Burkes, the Jim Momtazees. But there are also those that can pass the football, like Chris Living- stone, or run the cross country course under 18 minutes like Hidi Yamamoto and Arjay Jensen. Some can swim laps around the pool without fatigue, oth- ers can lob that basketball right into the net like Johnny Mack. There are the soccer stars and tennis stars and track stars and wrestling stars and ri- flery stars. They're all in what we call the student body. There are also a lot of leaders, peo- ple who can manage the class, the clubs, the activities. These are the class officers, like Tom Hickey or Mi- chael Burke, and the club leaders like Joe Gira, Scott Wilkens, David Gould or Bob Mahoney. They are the ones that everyone counts on for things to be done. And finally, there are the students. The funny ones that tell bad jokes, the class clowns that make academic life more fun, the trouble makers who challenge the authorities. They make CDS special. 'O i t fi Iij 9' 'F PSATs: Worth or Waste ,i , is Last October, both the junior and sophomore classes took the Prelimi- nary Scholastic Aptitude Test, affec- tionately known as the PSAT. The test, with a similar format to that of the SAT, tests both math and verbal abili- ty. Although only a practice test, the scores determined which members of the junior class would qualify for a National Merit Scholarship. For the sophomores, however, it was simply for them to get used to the testing proceduresg yet another standardized test the school asks us to take. Even though many students consid- ered this test the most difficult in re- cent years, the scores, on the whole, were quite good. Junior Scott Wilkens characterized the test by saying, It was a challenge, but l'm not sure if it really tested anything significant. Al- though most of the students thought the test was a waste of time, several Doug Bitting Bart Bouchein Kevin Byrne Robert Chomentowski Charlie Clifford took an expensive training course for the SAT and PSAT, called the Prin- ceton Review , which claimed to raise a student's score by an average of 150 points. Mr. Lloyd, head of college counseling, noted its importance in it being the first step on the road to college admissions.

During the fall season in particular, up to fifteen college representatives visit in just one week. Students at school often attend the meetings which they have anticipated to be interesting for them. At the college meetings, these re- presentatives talk about their schools for about a half hour, and for the re- maining fifteen minutes, they answer questions fired by the students. Since many of the representatives are alum- ni from the represented colleges, the students have the advantage of hear- ing what life really is like on that col- lege campus. Other than the admissions process, courses offered, and extra-curricular activities, the meetings focus on the ff- K.. ' 41' Meetings student life at that college. Students are able to look at the ideal student life at that college and get a better insight of how the college may suit them. An important question asked by many stu- dents this year was about the size and location of the schools of their inter- ests, comparing these two aspects of the colleges to CDS. In addition, the students asked questions about their transcripts, SAT scores, and letters of recommendation. The college meetings this year helped many students visit the col- leges of their interests without having to travel to the far-away campuses. They also introduced a slice of basic college life for the students to taste. Andy McMullin '89 Joe Reidy goes to great lengths to get into the yearbook. Eric Reichardt 2 , .

E. Enthusiasm Over the years, people have de- vised many methods to get out of after-school athletics. Some succeed- ed, others failed. Those that failed of- ten were forced to take the dreaded two-hour-per-week course known as Physical Education, or P.E., for short. This seemed to become the fate of many sophomores this year. Instead of going to after-school ath- letics, these students took a few free periods from their schedule each week and took activities ranging from run- ning and lifting weights to playing touch football and tennis. Some people felt that the course is a waste of time, complaining that it used up a whole free period every couple of days. But Chris Spellmeyer, a P.E. veteran, took a much lighter attitude and said, I attended P.E. to build up my physique so I would be able to partake in the rigorous activi- ties of riflery the following season. -- Sure, Chris. This, of course, was not the main reason for taking Physical Education. In a poll taken over the fall season, though, 98070 of the students who took P.E. said that they only took it because they didn't want to do anything else. Some even stated that their reason was that they didn't feel like doing anything at all. As Albert Metz, an- other P.E. professional, said, I was just too lazy to do anything else. Next year, when students are trying to choose an athletic assignment to fulfill their athletic requirement, they won't forget Physical Education. And if they still have any doubts, they'll just remember the words of P.E. Hall-of- Famer Chris Spellmeyer: lt was easy.

Taught by Dr. Johnson, it is a great challenge to the students who take the course. In an AP class, a college level course is taught. lt is helpful because it educates the students in depth, and it prepares them for future Advanced Placement courses and actual college courses themselves. The AP course requires students to understand the concepts and identify trends and causes, not just memorize dates and events. One of the more intimidating as- pects of the class is the workload. Just the 1000-page book itself is enough to make them cringe in fear. Although the course covers a great amount of material in such a short amount of time, the students, to their own amaze- David Kodner Alonzo Lee Gabriel Liberman Andy Likes Trip McCoy Albert Metz James Momtazee Jason Morris Bryce Mosher Phil Naumann Tom Nuzum Doc Obermeyer Derek Ohlms N0 PICTURE AVAILABLE ment, find that they can cope with their schedule. Towards the end of the school year, the AP students take a national AP examination. CDS students generally do well and leave with a feeling of accomplishment and of a challenge well met.

Coming into Class 4 can be really tough -- pressures of making friends, getting good grades, and trying to fit in. Country Day can be very challeng- ing to a new freshman who hasn't faced the kind of high academic stan- dards at C.D.S. Eight new students have gotten off to a good start: Edward Coleman, Greg Dohogne, Pat Bunsongsikul, By- ron Hawkins, Eric Jefferson, Mike Slater, Darrell Gentry, and Kiran Kuri- chety. These students have definitely had a positive effect on Country Day. Each of the new students felt that Country Day was easy to adapt to. Pat Bunsongsikul said, C.D.S. has the academics l'm looking for. Ed Coleman has gotten off to a great start at Country Day, I played football and basketball, it makes it ea- sier to make friends. Sports are very popular in Class 4.

Byron Hawkins played C football. Mike Slater and Eric Jeffer- son have made varsity basketball. These students are also off to a good start in their academic roles at C.D.S. Greg Dohogne said, The academics are hard, but it is worth it. Each year some new students enter a class and find Country Day hard. But, that is not the case' with these kids. They have jumped off to a great start and will hopefully continue to enrich the envi- ronment. William Pruellage '91 Nate Spencer enjoys his daily fix of artificial intelligence.

Commons Room Decorated with Mr. Henry's British memorabilia, the Commons Room is anything but common. On some days, the floor was covered with a three inch layer of leaves. On other days, one could catch a glimpse of a rotten or- ange whizzing across the room. And on a rare occasion, one would find it peaceful and quiet with students actu- ally studying. Many students did their serious studying in the library. But others did homework that was due that day or even the following period. Still others took time out to make a wager on a card game. The Commons Room, originally de- signed in 1983 to inspire students to study, has become the biggest social pad for freshmen at Country Day. En- tering at any period, one would often find it overwhelmed with freshman. The average class 4 student spent a quarter of his day there. Why? For one reason, there was no other place where one could relax and talk besides the dining hall and the gym. It is also centrally located. Unlike the other rooms at Country Day, it is usually unmonitored and quite large. So whether doing homework due in five minutes, playing Blackjack and Craps, or just catching up on some sleep that one missed last night, the Commons Room is the place to do just about anything except serious studying.

There was an enjoyable time to be had by all those who attended, with everyone getting down in the utmost of style. The mixer was held in the Country Day dining hall, and was totally orga- nized by Class 5. Class Fivers moved the furniture tand returned itl, filled the position as their own disc jockeys, and invited the other schools. Rather than depending on others for their own entertainment, they took charge and demonstrated their leadership qualities. Nobody could complain about the job, which was impeccable.

Class 5 would like to extend its sin- cere gratitude to Senor HC. and Mr. Craig Jones for their help in making this fun-filled mixer possible.

A class needs money for any desired activities it may wish to attend or create. Field trips and mixers fall into this category. Looking ahead, it is never too early to start raising money for the prom and class gift. Without fund raisers, such as apple carts, none of these important events could ever materialize. In regard to Class 5 fund raisers, the class has done quite well. Under the guidance of Senor C , the class chairman, the class has done well in raising money. He makes sure that all of the class is involved in these events. The first fund raiser was the corsage sale. The class did extremely well, and grossed a total of 600 dollars. There was full participation of the whole class in this project. The money raised will be placed in the class fund, and saved until it is next needed. The second fund raiser was a din' ner, thrown entirely by Class 5 for their parents. This included making the food, and waiting on the tables. All of the money made from the dinner went to a charitable organization. Michael Burke '92 Justin Stein records the illuminating experiences from his class trip in a journal.

Pre- viously, the class sixers were required to take the Phenomenon of Language three times a week for the entire year. This year, the sixers took one semes- ter of POL , and one semester of Drama. POL, taught by Mr. Steward, is de- signed to introduce the structure of languages, enhance vocabulary, and serve as an introduction for the first year of a language requirement which starts in class 5. Mr. Steward has al- ways enjoyed working with class six, and when asked what he thought of the class, he replied, This is one of the most unified classes l have ever worked with. On the other side, Rick Holton gave his opinion of the course. Although it was tough for him to admit that he enjoyed school, he admitted that having a course of this nature was 6 Gbenro Adeyemi Ramin Akbarnia Paul Altsheler Ned Black ' ' Jason Bricker Robert Buschmann X' J Sumner Charles William Clendenin if , 1' Brian Collard a nice change of pace from his other classes. Drama, taught by Mr. King, is a course designed to develop the skills of communication, imagination, and creativity. This course combines raw acting skills with on-stage experience. lt is a course which required a lot of cooperationg it brought this class even closer. The students enjoyed this class because of its very loose atmosphere. The class sixers now were enabled to taste more sides of life, other than the geometric sides of trapezoids, or the flip sides of a grammatical diagram in English. By adding these courses to the class six curriculum, CDS added to the stepping stones into the Middle School.

Whereas their counterparts at Burroughs are at the bottom of the pile, Class Sixers take charge of their underlings. ln everything from Lower School competitions to the Lower School Senate, class 6 is the dominant force. But at the same time that they are Mr Jacobi,s pride and joy, Class Sixers can also be his nemesis. For some strange reason, Sixers are light years away from Seveners and Eighters. They refuse to be as well-behaved , and become rebellious. They are at an awkward age of being between the stages of childhood and young men. Mr. Mehl's Class Six General Music class realizes the needs of students this age. lt is the first year where the boys are split into tenor and baritone sing- ing groups, allowing for the omnipres- ent differences in their voices. lt can be a trying and difficult period, but one thing remains certain: when all is said and done, Sixers are still the lords of the Lower School.

When they look back at their Lower School years, most of them will remember going home at 2:50 after a full clay. Howev- er, this was not the case for a great many lower schoolers this year. They had a choice of participating in Lower School Activities this year. All of these activities met once a week between Monday and Thursday. When most Upper-Schoolers look back at the acti- tivies that used to exist, they think of a boring waste of an afternoon. But it was different this year. These activities were coordinated with Mary Institute. Every activity this year was offered at both C.D.S. and Mary l. Although Upper-Schoolers may not think that girls are a big issue with 5th, 6th, and 7th graders, they are wrong. Jamie McPheeters, a 6th grader who was one of the few boys in cooking at Mary l., said, My friend and I took cooking at Mary I. because of the girls .... We both already know how to cook. An- other positive thing about this year's Lower School Activities was that they were not required, and students chose what they wanted to be in. Therefore, students were not forced to be in an activity boring to them. Two other activities offered were rocketry and computer simulations. In computer simulations the students used simulations that were really edu- cational games. The rocketry group was involved in building and launching model rockets. For whatever reason, the lower schoolers really looked forward to their activities after school this year.

' UQ k l Codasco Corner One of the characteristics of Lower School that sets it apart from the Up- per and Middle Schools is its Codasco Corner. For those who don't know, it's the small grey carpeted area across from Mr. Jacobi's office. It was constructed in the summer of 1983 and was funded by the Mothers Association. Its original purpose was to serve as a commons area for the Lower Schoolers. It was meant to be an area where they could meet to talk or catch up on some sleep, since, at that time, there was no Harris Reading Room to lounge around in. At the time, there was a mere study hall filled with old, rotting, wooden desks. Slow- ly though, it evolved into another place they rushed to sign outl' to. Later, in 1985, the Lower School built Jeffrey La Brier Gene Lee William Leggat Frederick Lewis Joseph Lloyd Christopher McCarthy Robert McLaughlin William McMahon Christopher McMillan James McPheeters Alexander Mackey John Minton Vincent Nania the cube in the center that is there today. The reason behind all this freedom to talk and lounge around was because of the absence of a monitor, and even- tually this led to a problem. There was always a teacher in the study hall, but the corner was left unguarded and Mr. Jacobi and Mrs. Ramsey were sometimes not there to supervise. Su- pervisor absence led to worse behav- ior in the corner and eventually mea- sures were taken against it. For a peri- od of time, all of Lower School lost its signing outn privilege. This small area of carpet-covered wood has become a jungle oi action and excitement, and is there for the few, the proud, the Lower Schoolers.

Well such a ques- tion has many answers. It could be a cheetah, a paddlefish, a poisonous boomslang, or even a paradise tree snakeg wait, I know, what about this year's class eighters? This year's new addition to the school has proved to be a very promis- ing class. Of the students polled, all of them loved Country Day and tied their own ties. However, although they all loved the school itself, none of them liked homework. Despite their appar- ent school spirit, very few of them knew that Mr. Holtman was the varsity football coach. I am sure that most of you know the friendly rivalry between classes eight Ryan Bunnell Ben Cahill Garrett Collier David Connors Josh Cooper Ferdinand Del Pizzo Peter DeLuca Dan Denneen Nilharn DeSilva Addition and seven. When I asked the eighters how they felt on the subject, the con- sensus was that the average sevener was a dumb, ugly jerk. lt was also interesting to see how these eighters handled their social life, now that they were attending an all-boys school. To my surprise, most of them did have girlfriends. As far as national politics go, these guys decided that Oliver North was either a traitor, an army guy , or some T.V. star. The only question they fell short on was comparing Oli- ver North to Mr. Holtman. All in all, this is a great class, and everyone is expecting great things from them.

Some left discouraged, unable to touch the fam- ous list, but others, desperate to avoid the Study Hall, added lines to notify faculty members of their whereabouts. Those days, it was very important to be able to spend Study Hall period in the A.V. room or Library. Well, times have changed in the Lower Schoolg there is a new Study Hall and a new class eight study hall system. All students in class eight are assigned to a supervised study hall location for the first eight weeks of school. After tha first quarter has ended, all students Ori the Headmastefs List, Honor Roll, or students with at least B grades are allowed to choose their study hall loca- tion - the A.V. room, the Library, or the remodeled Harris Reading Room.

Sitting in the library, chatting with your friends, you might be hushed by Mrs. Garlock or Mrs. Simpson. They might suggest a good book to read and where to find it, but only if youlre quiet. Walking down May Hall, peeking into different classes, you might catch Mrs. Langsam leading her French class in songs, or Mrs. Danett throwing her bean-bag to her first year Russian class and asking them for the Russian alpha- bet. You might hear Mr. Steward showing Latin l students how to conju- gate sto, stare, steti, status, or Se- nor C. and Mr. Schuh reading long passages of Spanish literature. You may see Mr. Hansen explaining to cur- ious students why the limit of x as it approaches zero but never does is y, when x is not zero. You might listen as Mr. Taylor cri- tiques a poem, watch as Mr. Macken- zie diagrams the grid of life, ponder as Mr. Piquet discusses about the differ- ence between a novel and a novella. Upstairs, you might hear Mr. Hin- richs as he explores the question of evolution, or Mr. Potter as he explains why the chicken comes before the egg, or Mr. Mitchell as he ponders over the instantaneous velocity of a cart going down a hill with a 56 degree gradient. Wherever you go, whatever you do, they are there, watching, taking notes. They're everywhere. They're teach- ers, dedicated to Country Day and its students, dedicated to their profes- sion. They're here to teach, and they will see to it that you learn. That's the way of life. L- , .gm 1 Ig- It 94 I - The Bean Bag Works! Cat! calls Nadia Danett as a bean bag flies across the room toward an unsuspecting student. Uh l don't know, he re- sponds meekly. Koshka, koshka you miserable creature! Unorthodox? Maybe, but the results speak for themselves. The first female teacher in the school's history, Danett began her ca- reer at CDS in 1960, teaching three foreign languages: Russian, French, and German - a true linguist. She later developed a challenging five-year Rus- sian program. Almost immediately, the results of her dedication and ex- pertise were obvious. ln her twenty-eight years of teach- ing, nineteen of Danett's students have Mrs. Altvater History Mrs. Barbara Bull Mathematics Mr. Victor Caltagirone Spanish If-nr M Mrs. Nadia Danett Russian Mr. James Dickinson History Mr. Thomas Fitzgibbon Science aug., M f4,,..,,V chosen careers involving languages. One was the Official White House Translator under President Nixon. An- other translated and published the English version of Mandelstam's Tris- tia, declared a literary best seller by the Yale Library Resources. Danett's superior achievement in the classroom has been recognized several times. In 1973 she received the ISAACS award for Outstanding Teacher of The Year. She has been president of the Missouri AATSEEL - the American Association of Teachers of Slavic and Eastern European Lan- guages and is vice president of the mid-western chapter of SLAVA tNa- tional High School Slavic Honor Soci- etyl. ln October, she received the Edu- cator of Achievement Award in Global Education. Yet when asked about the plaques adorning the walls of her classroom, she modestly replied, For me, a great honor is to be able to see my students improving in their Russian studies. But Danettfs talent and uniqueness is by no means restricted to her work in the classroom. She has taken charge of organizing the CODASCO cheer- leaders flater to become the Mary ln- stitute cheerleadersl, the plays for Country Day's Russian Evening, and of course, the Russian Dancers, who have performed locally and in interna- tional festivals. Obviously, Danett nev- er tires of adding to Country Day's cultural diversity. Sandy Friedman '88 lt is truly the smile and ever-present energy of Nadia Danett that make her a joy to have as a teacher, and it is also this energy that makes one feel motivated to learn. f-. ...V ,f'3l ' A V f-dvi ' .

A Faculty F riend Though only in my first year at Country Day, I have found a special friend in Mr. Grimley. Many students think that faculty members are foe, but Mr. Grimley proves that things are different. Mr. Grimley will always go out of his way to help students, said Aaron Howes of Class 4. Yes, he may have punished some students in his time, but he makes sure that the students benefit from their punishment. Where would we be with- out the special guidance of Mr. Grim- ley, especially certain members of Class 6. Mr. Grimley began teaching in 1961. Fresh out of college, he was faced with two choices: being drafted into the military, or becoming a teach- er. As can be seen, he chose the latter. For 16 years, he taught in public schools in Boston, Massachusetts. I asked him why he left the public schools, and he replied, Public school teaching began losing its fun! In 1979, he began teaching here at Country Day. This was his first exper- ience at a private school, but he must have liked it because he is still here. lt is often Mr. Grimley's wit that draws students to him. At the Christmas As- sembley this year, he made two hilar- ious additions. The first was a poem about a father who spent all Christmas Eve trying to put together a high-chair, nearly unsuccessfully, and the second was The Night Before Christmas, with a Cajun twist. Mr. Grimley jokes never -0 on X g., 34 1- ' s At times teaching becomes so frustrating that teachers go into uncontrollable fits, which great- .N ,, -.-,..---'.r l:- . -'ff V x . - 1i .f'ff , ,M Q Q , , ., 'CE'-rl.-.

For many of the Class Four stu- dents, this has been their second op- portunity to learn from Mr. Grimley since many of these students were in his class in 1985. I asked about how the students improved in their two- year span from Class 6 to Class 4. He answered, First of all, their grammar has improved greatly. Also there has been a great difference in their writing styles. They have also become more mature and analytical. l could only come up with one an- swer to the question, ls Mr. Grimley a friend or a faculty member? Mr. Grimley is a friendly faculty member.

As the director of studies, Dr. Kalmar over- sees the articulation of the curricu- lum and the development of the fac- ulty. Ever since Doc's arrival at Country Day, German scores on standardized tests have risen steadily as interest in German has mounted. Since the begin- ning of the AATG program in 1975, there have been eight CDS winners of the AATG trip to Germany, as well as ten runners-up. Doc attributes his suc- cess to the constant change in his teaching techniques which assures no stagnation in the running of classes. He believes that teachers need to love what they do and also need to gener- ate energy within the classroom. Oth- erwise, teaching will just become work. His advice for those students who want to pursue German in college is simple: You don't necessarily want to major in German, but merely take one German course each semester to maintain a useable knowledge of the language. There is a possibility to use those hours as a double major without too much extra work. With the strong base that Doc provides for his students, those who are interested in pursuing German further will more than likely succeed in reaching what- ever goals they set for themselves.

Scott Shaw: The manager of the St. Louis Base- ball Cardinals, Whitey Herzog, liked to call Jose Oquendo his secret weap- on because Oquendo could and did play virtually every position on the field during the Cardinals '87 season. In a similar way, Scott Shaw is the secret weapon of Country Day. He has done everything from directing the band in the Troubadour production of Grease to coaching diving. In fact, he is the first diving coach Country Day has ever had. In addition, he teaches general music and P.E., and he has played the piano for both the middle and upper school glee clubs at all of their performances. His real value to the school, howev- Head of Lower School Jan Jacob: speaks about his Contemporary Issues Class with the Head of the English Department Brian Tayior The Jose Oquendo of er, is his gift in understanding and com- municating with students. Unlike many teachers, Shaw talks with students in- stead of lecturing them. He under- stands the students' viewpoints and doesn't put himself above the stu- dents. And in return, the students re- spect him. They admire his friendli- ness, his willingness to just chat with them, his taste in music this favorite groups are the Eagles, Steely Dan, and the Doobie Brothersl, and his some- times witty, sometimes lewd, sense of humor. He's someone who's just fun to be with. As far as Shaw's life before he joined the CDS faculty goes, he grew up in Clayton and attended the public Country Da y high school there. After graduating in 1973, he attended Oberlin College, where he received his bachelor's de- gree in piano performance and his master's in musical teaching. He then went to Fort Zumwalt, a high school in central Missouri, coaching track for seven years. Later, he also coached swimming and diving. Shaw considered his coming to CDS a big career move. It's a more cre- ative atmospheref' he said, and con- centrates on developing the whole stu- dent, both academically and emotion- ally. Hopefully, he will be a member of the faculty for many years to come. -by Bob McKelvey , 'N-S Vi iv' WF! 6' .S Besides being a great French Horn player, Mr. No matter where Karen Thompson goes, she Shaw is also talented on the piano and the or- cannot escape the always inquisitive voices of gan. her students. if ' 9 x Mrs, Debra Reisinger Secretary Mr. Edward Schuh Spanish Mr. Scott Shaw Athletics Mrs. Betty Simpson Librarian Mr. Joseph Smentowski Science Mr. John Steward Latin I dl ,Pwr ' i'i I Mr. Robert Jones What did you want to be when you were a child?

Many students have certain- ly succeeded in their pursuits, as the tradition of academic excellence con- tinues at the school. The faculty plays an integral role in school reputation and in the success of the students. With the addition of sev- en new teachers, the potential for even greater excellence exists. Draw- ing from the vast knowledge of the faculty, students have demonstrated their ability in all academic areas. Ad- vanced Placement courses continue to produce fantastic scores, reflecting the caliber of both the students and the teachers in such fields as History, Sci- ences, English, Mathematics, and For- eign Languages. Recognition in the Language Department comes with the Russian Olympiada, the National Latin Test, and many other nationally ac- cepted examinations in which our stu- dents rank very competively. These high results are due to the close rela- tionship of the faculty and students. lt comes with the understanding that if there is a problem, the teachers are there to help, not to hinder. This rela- tionship encourages the students to do their best. It is no wonder that the school is responsible for so many fine members of our society. The annual award in honor of great alumni such as Dr. Gell- horn, Vincent Price, Senator Dan- forth, Senator Eagleton, and Senator Wilson is but further proof of the integ- rity of the school and its ability to get noticed in the community. It is this dedication to studies that get Country Day, its students and fac- ulty, noticed. ff in la Z' if eird Science if If ' 'ewmllifldf -E.

With this increase in the numbers of computers and the enlargement of the lab, the facility is available to more students and classes. Before computers, students either typed and retyped their works or wrote and rewrote them. But now, al- most everyone uses the word proces- sor. ltfs more efficient, much quicker and easier to use. Word processing allows students to make corrections without having to rewrite or retype the whole thing. As a result, teachers are expecting better drafts. But computers are not just for word processing. They are also for fun. Al- though Mrs. Bull says that computer games such as Pac-Man are prohibited in the computer room, there are many educational programs that the lower schoolers greatly enjoy. These pro- grams help with geography, history, math and other courses. Besides these games, there are light pens, and mouses, and other hardware for graphics and music and many more activities. lf one enters the lab or Mrs. Bull's classroom, one will see all the graphics done by the students with the computers. Even faculty members find the com- puters useful in their courses. ln Chemistry, Mr. Kamper has a program to illustrate, for example, the different isomers of the carbon compounds, their shapes and molecular structures. Mr. Matsuda and Mr. Mitchell use the computer to graph and calculate vec- tors. Mr. Smentowski charts his data of the pond. Mr. Hansen and the sen- ior calculus class examine the limits of different functions. Mr. Werremeyer and his class review the graphs of the sinusoid curves. Even Mr. Dickinson uses the computer to write his hours- long tests and quizzes. Computers have become a vital part of Country Day and will be a great part of the students' future.

's X N 5 hr if li' 46' N., 5 More Than Conjugatlon People usually think that foreign language classes are just mindless con- jugation and declension of nouns, verbs and adjectives as well as memo- rization of vocabulary words. But over the years, language classes have devel- oped to a further extent. Of course, conjugation of sto, stare, steti, status or declension of kapta in the singular are important but so are reading about the bull festival in Spain and singing Frere Jacques in French. The input of culture into foreign language courses makes them more than just rote memorization. lt makes language fun, and students want to learn. As a result, students will leave Country Day with a fuller command of their second language which will serve them well in later life. When Mrs. Danett turns on the mu- sic, and takes everybody out of their desks and onto the floor for some Rus- sian dancing, there are sighs and boos at first, but in a few minutes everybody is dancing the Pedler or the Sailors' Dance or even the Sabre Dance When Senor C. hangs up the penata and blindfolds a student, the Spanish language means so much more. The French Anthem can be heard while people are taking tests, German mov- ies can be seen through darkened win- dows. So by the time everyone has forgotten that esse is an irregular verb, that le goes with a masculine noun and la with a feminine one, they still re- member the streams of papier mache falling from the penata, the culture.

Top: OK, my turn, replies Fred Galt as he steps up at bat. A Helping I-land The tutorial program at Country Day was a great success this year because of large participation from upper school students and great or- ganization by Nick Penniman and Mr. Holtman. Nick Penniman was the senior class president, and, with that position, he became the head of the tutorial program. This year, the program was aided by a com- puter program provided by com- puter and math teacher Mrs. Bull. She found a program that would match the tutor's free periods with the student's free periods. This year, many upper school students participated in the tutorial program instead of loafing around on their free periods. Lower schoolers who were hav- ing trouble in any subject could con- tact their teacher, who, in turn, con- tacted Penniman or Mr. Holtman. They put the students' free periods into the computer, and the comput- er matched them with a tutor. Pen- niman then contacted the chosen tutor. Then, during the assigned pe- riod, the tutor tutored the student in one of the back rooms in the library. The tutor and the student met regularly until the student no longer needed any help. Tutoring is a good expirience for the tutor because the student feels good about actually doing some- thing during a free period. The stu- dent gains a lot from it, including good grades and helpful advice from the older classmen. Best of all, it helps to draw the school together. It increases unity between the lower and upper school. The gap between them is almost as large as the gap between kids and their parents. The tutorial program helps to close that gap, by getting upper schoolers to work to- gether with the lower schoolers. David Engman '90 St. Louis Country Day has a long tradition of academic excellence. One of the manifestations of the fine tradition of teaching is Country Day's performance in various aca- demic competitions. One such com- petition is the TEAMS - Test of Engineering aptitiude, Mathemat- ics, and Science. Sponsored by JETS fJunior Engi- neering Technical Societyj, the competition is a series of tests in the fields of Math, Chemistry, Eng- lish, Biology, Computer Fundamen- tals, Graphical Engineering, and Physics. Each students takes two 'I twenty-minute tests in two of the categories. The top three students in the testing region receive plaques and a cash prize. This year Country Day was faced with an additional challenge. For the past seven years, Country Day, due to its enrollment, was in the small school division. It had consis- tently taken first in almost every category and the overall competi- tion. This year, however, Country Day was moved up to the large school competition. Despite the odds, however, Country Day re- ceived nine of the possible twenty- WMU an-1 s X- i '-i l'l'1 ZIP Z fs cn tr , C . . 'U one awards and took first in the overall team competition. The representatives for Country Day were seniors Aaron Grand, Bo Rutledge, Todd Baur, Scott Werne- berg, Sandy Friedman, Darren Has- kell, Bob McKelvey, David Nalesnik Gus Chyba, and David Reifg juniors Doug Bitting and David Kang, and sophomores Derek Stockman and David Silber. Under the guidance of Mr. Mitchell, the faculty advisor, the team met the challenge and lived up to its long tradition of suc- cess. Bo Rutledge '88 I Different Views 151 An Ugly lmag if State championships, District titles, ABC league championships - these are all things that Country Day teams strive for and often achieve. But along with these things, we must all remem- ber to strive for sportsmanship. Last year, sports highlighted all of 1987. The football players were the state champions, and varsity and JV water polo were 44-O. Swimming took 3rd in state, the basketball team won the district championship, and nearly every team had a good record. There was only one problem - Country Dayls sportsmanship. Country Day has always been known for its lack of sportsmanship. Things such as the chanting of Nice kick or Nice shot are hardly ever heard. Players are always warned by coaches to stay out of fights. B Foot- iwvw ball coach Dave Stevens always tells his team that the player that provokes the action never gets caught, but the player that reacts does. Whenever a player gets into a fight, it hurts the entire team. This year, there was no reason for our athletic teams to not do well - Varsity football creamed Clayton, as did waterpolo. We earned many victo- ries in 1987-88, and added even more titles to our long list, but the issue of sportsmanship has remained close at hand. Athletic Director Ron Helms summed it up best in an assembly at the beginning of the school year by telling the student body that the other team is trying its best, too. Our teams are good enough that we don't have to draw attention to our opponents' mis- takes - our playing will. We're getting ahead, the right way! ,Vp w .W ....

It was a game to prove to ourselves and others that we could continue the tradition of Country Day Football and keep the 21 game win- ning streak going. The players were nervous. They had to win this game and open the season with the first vic- tory. But that nervousness was hidden behind the crude jokes that helped ease the tensions. Mr. Holtman said that if they just played Country Day Football, they could win. But what is Country Day Football? It was so long ago since their last game. On the bus ride to Clayton, they thought about last year's big suc- cess, the state titles, all the fun, and they knew how they should play: hard and well. When they arrived at last, they were psyched and ready to win. Clayton won the toss so they got the ball. The Rams didn't give up easily. They played hard defense and kept Clayton from attaining a first down. This forced them to punt, leading to the 22 winning streak twenty-five-yard touchdown by Chris Connell and an extra- point field-goal by John Thebeau. The fans went wild. The players on the sideline showed their support with high fives and ap- plause. lt was the first touchdown of the season, and the fans loved it. Another touchdown followed but was called back due to a penalty. This sobered the team's spirit a bit, espe- cially when the first three downs didn't get them anywhere. The offense never gave up. They pushed on for another touchdown, this time following a pass by Chris Livingstone to Todd Baur. Time and time again, Clayton tried to score, but our defense held them tight. Our offense easily passed through their lines, penetrating deep into their territory for touchdown after touchdown. We could play football, and we demonstrated our ability. We defeated Clayton with a score of 31-O. The first victory was sweet, but only a begin- ning. Steve Borucke, '88 , ie if 1.1.

Some injuries have been short term, others lasted a season. Injuries are a part of team-play which brings out team-spirit. Injuries have affected both newcom- ers and veterans. Three year varsity player and captain Joe Mueller suf- fered a separated shoulder and spent the majority of the season on the bench. Joe's leadership was sorely missed and when asked about others' helping out, he said, 'LScott Werne- burg played well at end. lt was nice that someone could fill more than ade- quately during my absence. Captain Louke Fouke had several injuries, a dislocated toe, a sprained right ankle, a separated shoulder, a torn cartilage in his left knee, requiring surgery. His thoughts on injuries were that they don't help the team but you have to keep a positive attitude. A switch to end by Scott Werneburg and good work by center Barclay Nelson have helped out these problems. Newcomer Ray Howard broke his arm and missed most of the season. Carson Baur hurt his leg and missed all of the season. Both juniors were prom- ising, quick backs who hated missing their first year on varsity. They were both missed. Others injured included senior Paul Miller, junior John Ridg- way, and sophomore Jon Granoff. The reverse can happen and one can recover from an injury as did Ju- nior Donny Anthon. He injured his knees and his right hand yet recovered to play his second year on varsity. Anthon said that he was glad to be back. Let's hope that all the above men- tioned players can recover from their injuries for future play.

Everyone was sure there was going to be a place open for the Varsity Rams to capture the State Championship two years in a row. They have played well the whole season, leaving behind columns of defeated foes, Lutheran North included. What's one more game to add to their victory column? Everyone had been looking forward to the game for a week. There was a Friday shirt day to rally up school sup- port. There was encouragement by Dr. Johnson during Monday morning forum. There were speeches by coaches, by peers: we were going to State again. The crowd roared with great energy as the players broke through the paper poster held by the Mary Institute Cheerleaders. The band played the Country Day Rally song, the girls sang along. The sun was setting as the players slowly walked off the field. The fans were cheering, were screaming, cele- brating North's fans. We lost. Some cried, some just sat and watched as the crowd thinned out. Some muttered curses, others just couldn't believe it. The coaches tried to cheer them up, but to no result. They played well the whole season, they creamed North before, creamed everyone, but state was out of reach. To the seniors, that was the last game, their last chance to play high school football, to go and win state. To the juniors, next year was a new year, a chance to start over again. The following day, spirit low, only a few seniors showed up for the morning classes. Without having to be told, the rest of the school understood their loss. Many teachers were sympathetic to their situation but others said that no matter what, another season will begin soon. lim sorta glad that the season is over,' commented Mr. Werremeyer. He said that although he felt sorry for the players, especially the seniors, go- ing to state is a tiring thing.

The 1987 B football team worked hard. They struggled at times, but nev- er gave up. The result was a winning season of 4-3, including a victory over Burroughs. After surviving football camp, the B team began to practice with Coaches Stevens and Nuzum. Then, before they knew it, Captains Ted Fouke, Bri- an Humphrey, and Mike Gray were leading them into Illinois for the Mar- quette game. First game penalties ln- juries plagued the season. The offense lost members, and the defensive line was constantly changed. Some injuries lasted only for a few games, others lasted the whole season. Many players played well through the season.

The score was tied O-O and there was less than a min- ute-to go in the game. Country Day fumbled on the Crusader's three-yard line. The defense then turned around and recovered a fumble, giving them the ball back at the Crusader's four- teen-yard line with 30 seconds left. The quality that the team had was the will to win. They never gave up even in the last seconds of the game. Headed by Coaches Ed Potter, Ed Mitchell and Nills Latenburg, the team started out with a big win over Bishop Dubourg. Their first game with Berk- ley was cancelled. This was followed by victories over Chaminade, Luth- eran South and Principia, and a tie with Lutheran North. Breaking their undefeated record, the Rams fell vic- tim to Priory, which scored a miracu- lous field goal in the last thirty seconds of the game. Unfortunately, they also lost to their biggest rival, the Bur- roughs Bombers. There were many outstanding play- ers that greatly contributed to the team's winning season. Running-backs Tom Hickey itri-captainl, Ken Met- calfe itri-captainl, and Gale Chyu dodged the enemy's defense for many yards.

The team of 1987 and their fans will forever wonder what went wrong. On the fateful Fri- day night in the middle of October, the Varsity Rams Water Polo team ended their streak of one and one-half years of being undefeated in the state of Missouri, a streak of thirty-one games, covering a district title and two Subur- ban tournament titles. What hap- pened? To the team, the question has one simple answer: We played the worst game of our careers. The opposing team was S.L.U.H., they came to Country Day with a desire to win like the Rams had not seen that year, or had felt themselves, for that matter. As the players witnessed to a heart- breaking extent, the phrase heard most commonly uttered by Coach Ca- sey to his team held true: Whoever wants to win the game more, in the end, will win. lt was all too obvious to the team, they had been beaten by better play- ers, no excuses. Tri-Captain Ashley Gray said, This is what happens when you have a winning streak for so long: your attitude becomes passive about the effort needed to win, and sooner or later it catches up to you with a good team, like S.L.U.H., and they beat you. Other players' thoughts echoed Gray's. Mark Le Clair ob- served, We started to see the games as just another win, but S.l..U.H. came into the game with the attitude that this would be THE WIN, not just an- other win, so they beat us, just plain beat us. Possibly the most disappoint- ing feeling of losing was expressed by Goalie Matt Rosen: We were ex- tremely disappointed in ourselves for losing, but even more so, we felt we let Coach Casey down after all he'd done for us. The team was amazed at the fire that raged inside S.L.U.H.g everything they did was done like it would be the last. The battle of who wants to win more, often decides who wins games, especially whenthe two teams are evenly matched. That night it was S.l..U.H. all the way. The team as a unified machine, win- ning and losing together, came to a great realization. Tri-Captain Johns Hopkins said concisely, The loss woke us up to the fact that we need every player in the water busting their butts off. If one person on the team fails to give 110070, then the team will lose again. They say losing builds character. At least now, for the first time in a year and a half, the Varsity Rams Water Polo team can say that they have a little character!

Water Ram An unfortunate loss to SLU!-I due to electrical failure. In past years, waterpolo was a great sport at Country Day and yet, the team had been given little to no recog- nition. This year, that changed. It wasn't uncommon for football players to spend their Friday nights at a varsi- ty game. The fans kept up the players' spirit with their constant cheering. The team was more recognized for their talents. With a team led by three- year starters, Ashley Gray, Johns Hopkins and Jason Saghir, and by ex- cellent, dedicated swimmers like Mike Casey, Will Strong, Jeff Cohen, Mark LeClair, John Zografakis, Matt Kem- bal-Cook and Mat Rosen, the team was set for victories. The year was always exciting. From the opening game right down to the heartbreaking loss which ended the season, the year was filled with ups and downs. ln the end, however, the team always pre- vailed one way or another. The biggest rival of the year was SLUH. This team really gave the Rams a run for their money. The loss to SLUH was the last game of the season. The game could have been won, but in the halftime, the lights were turned off. Afterward, the team lost its original momentum. Their morale and psyche were killed. I could kill the person who did that, commented a disappointed Ash- ley Gray. That lost the game for us. We could have won State. by Gayle Chyu '91 l Broken Streak 18-2 season highlighted by thrills and heartbreaks for Varsity This year's varsity water polo team had a great season that ended in trage- dy. The season began with the Subur- ban League Championship over Park- way West, boosting the confidence of the team. The team fought through constant injuries and sickness, but con- tinued to dominate. Coach Casey claimed, the past two years have been exceptional. He enjoyed working with the team, and with his determination, continued to coach the team to a successful year. The competition grew harder, and thus the first game in over a year was lost to the notorious SLUH Sluser. Wa terpolo Rams Despite the loss, the All-District play- ers of the team, John Hopkins, Ashley Gray, Jason Saghir and Matt Rosen lthe only junior to receive recognition as an Honorable Mention goaliel pushed the team onward. The team then jumped back to a winning streak until the last game of the season, the State Championship game against arch-rival, SLUH. Coach Casey knew it was easier getting to the top than staying there, but to no one's surprise, Country Day took an early lead in the first half. Victory seemed inevitable until, to the shock of the players and the stands packed full of rowdy fans, the lights went out. SLUH, having had time to relax while the lights warmed up, then scored three goals. Then the real struggle be- gan. Both sides fought neck to neck in overtime, but at the end, SLUH edged ahead to win. Despite the loss, Coach Casey thought the game was the best game l have been associated with in the 20 years of coaching. When asked about next year, he said, we'll have a good team, making another dominating sea- son not too far to grasp. Arthur Weise '89 . .... . f 5 lfww A A lx N n if 'sv we W 5 A .. 'Raj Q , H!

The team's commitment was sincere, evidenced by the countless hours of swimming and drills. With a lot of practice, the team became closely-knit. This was a learning year for the freshmen. The sophmores played a key role in the teaching of water polo to the freshmen. Freshmen are consid- ered to have much potential for the upcoming year. Although the JV Rams played an exceptional season, they also had a few rough times. Jim Denneen said, We had some injuries although we've gotten over quite a few adversitiesf' Everyone on campus knows about Mr. Casey's special coaching ability, Many even consider him the best in the state. A lot of people even go so far as to say, the success of the Rams in the last few years is tied in with the coach- ing. l think it was a great season, said coach Casey. lt was much more than l expected, considering the ques- tion marks we had in the beginning of the year. We started the year with only four players with experience from previous years, and the freshmen and the sophmores, new to the sport this year, filled in admirably. Jordan Klein, Mark Freeland, and John Gol- terman were in the field and devel- oped very quickly and helped us to have the outstanding season. The team truly showed its skills in the mid-season, away game against La- due. ln the first period Ladue made two quick goals. The crowd was in an uproar against the Rams. Mr. Casey strategically used the few time-outs al- lowed to him. The team knew that if they did not win this game, their posi- tion in Districts would greatly suffer. The buzzer sounded. The Rams got back into the pool with broken spirits, but continued to give it their all. Den- neen quickly scored two goals, fol- lowed by David Engman and Kevin Kerber, scoring one apiece. The crowd's uproar ceased. A look of sur- prise and dismay was evident in all their faces. From there, it was nowhere but up. ln the district championships, the JV Rams defeated SLUH 3-1 to become the state champs for the second straight year. All in all, it was a good year for the JV Water Polo team. They had their ups and downs but kept a positive outlook and consistently performed well, certainly earning the right to call themselves the best JV water polo team in the state.

Your best mile! yelled Coach Gould as I pushed by him. Ahead of me ran Sproule. My eyes were glued on his back. I have to catch him. There's no way I'm gonna catch him In my mind, my thoughts ran about, while my legs pounded on and on. I was running along the fences, less than a mile to go. My breathing was getting rough, but by concentrating, I was able to calm it. Gliding down the long slope along the fence, I noticed a Lutheran South runner right behind me. I can- not Iet this guy pass me, I vowed. At the bottom of the slope, the ground was very hard and the deep dried footprints of previous races made running difficult. Cautious of my foothold, I ran on, the South runner still right on me. Just after that, the course crossed a road. I could hear my spikes' metallic raps as my feet '. -4 :ii 1 h . 'W - .

Accelerating, I climbed it in two steps. As we raced along, I realized that there was not much distance left between me and Sproule. I decided I had to start mov- ing and sped my tired body up a notch, but still the South runner kept on. We rounded a tree and headed back towards the finish line. Here, many leaves covered the course. As I ran, I could hear the rustle of the leaves just behind me. Now he was moving up next to me, and then soon he was in front. Now was the time to go. Sproule had slowed down and he was well in my range. As we crossed back across the road, I was pushing hard. Coming through a cluster of trees, I finally caught Sproule. The South run- ner was still with me. Now, with less than 400 yards to go, I was in sight of a Priory runner. I could see spectators as well, and I heard Coach Gould yell, Catch that guy! Run your best 400. Let's go! I was running at top speed, and at the point where the ground dipped and began to rise for the final uphill stretch to the finish, I caught the Priory runner, with.South's man close behind me. Moving up the hill, I could hear, He's right on you! Sprint! Kick it! Using my last burst of energy, I started my sprint, wondering if the South run- ner had enough left in him to do the same. Going at a full sprint, I set my sights on the finish line. I could sense that others were close behind me. Sec- onds Iater, I stumbled into the finish line, barely ahead of the others. Hidi Yamamoto '89 . 7 7 I-209112 Champs New changes bring better results for A-Soccer. The Varsity Soccer team underwent a lot of changes this year, including having new coaches. But despite these adverse conditions, the team had a winning season. Dr. Kalmar, the varsity coach for many years, decided not to coach this year so Mr. Guilliams and Mr. Dona- hue took over. The team worked well under the direction of the new coaches and managed to win the majority of their games. Highlights of the season included a double over-time, heartbreaking loss to Clayton in districts, a second-place finish in the league, and an exciting win over Lutheran South by a last- minute There were many standout per- formers on the team. Captains Tom Denneen, Nick Penniman, and Baker Shepley showed a lot of leadership. Sophomore Jon Young played great in goal. Forwards Brian Suffian, Char- lie Clifford, Till Knorn, and Charlie Franc provided extra punches with lots of hard shots. Halfbacks Martin Reis, Chad Guilliams, Tom Denneen and John Thebeau hustled all over the field, taking the ball from the oppo- nents. Nobody could get past fullbacks Bryan Davis, Jon Winer, Eric Rei- chardt, and all-state Kevin Byrne. The team worked hard together, played well together - the result: Martin-Reis headball. The team fin- i ished with a record of 14-7-2. i they took first in league. Andy Kamenetsky '90 1 . . . . . .

This team, following up an outstanding performance from last year's, was ranked very highly and expected to go far in the district tournament. The first few games of the year had proved to be some of the toughest. Country Day played 4A and 5A schools such as Ritenour and Maple- wood. These bigger school were too much for the Rams and left them with a 3-3 record after only 6 games. The Rams, however, came charging back, winning eleven straight games to post a 15-4 record overall, and a 3-1 record in the ABC league. Led by seniors Joe Mueller and Wil- lie Epps lwho missed a few games due to a slight ankle injuryl, and juniors Johnnie Mack, Robbie Chomentowski, Duke Wycoff, and Kevin Byrne, the team had its best chance ever to not only become well-known, but to be confident in the district tournament. The eleven-game winning streak was snapped by Lutheran South. We redeemed ourselves, however, by beating top-ranked Lutheran North in front of a packed McDonnell Gymnasi- um. The team was really up for the game, and the huge crowd helped keep their enthusiasm high. After opening up a thirteen-point lead by half-time, the Crusaders scored ten , 'fax' straight points. The Rams responded and finished the game six points ahead. This year's team had the most tal- ented players in every position. Mueller and Epps are brilliant low down, posting up, drawing the fouls and rebounding, while Mack and Cho- mentowsky are threats from the out- side and are always driving to the hoops. Wyckoff is a great presser and Byrne is an all-around great sixth man. The team had a very successful season and has a promising future with a lot of excellent juniors to terrorize ABC league courts again. Mark Freeland'9O xxx-y ,.,, Q W 'gin Xt lst ww: R.

This vic- tory seemed not only to build up the team's confidence but also set the tone for their next few games. By the end of the Christmas Holiday Tournament, the team's record was an impressive 5- 1. After the tournament, however, the team appeared to have lost their mo- mentum. Things just did not go their way. Unfortunately, despite obvious improvement, they lost their last six M' Klxlff 'fgllrlli 15, MN out of seven games. Led by their cap- tain and leading scorer Brian Hum- phrey, the team faced Lutheran North in the last of these games. Though Brian scored a stunning twenty points, and the team had its best rebounding game of the year, they suffered a dis- appointing 54-41 defeat. The contribution of the team mem- bers was great. Mike Gray had the best shooting percentage, resulting in the team's highest one point total of twen- ty-two. His list of achievements includ- ed the highest number of defensive rebounds. Dennis l-luyck, with the best three-point percentage, and Andy Likes, the team's leading free-throw shooter, were definite morale boost- ers. Chris Fruhauf, David Bell and James Croom were other notable players, each contributing much in re- bounds, steals and assists. This was a rough year for the team, but by the time their record was 6-7, one thing had been decided: whether they were in the last deciding minute of the Bayless game or the monoto- nous Valemeyer game, the B-team never quit. by Derek Ohlms '90 .rf v 1 m sglxttk V X Sl 5? r I All A, Xp' Ll .

To succeed as a wrestler and meet the high expectations of the coaches, a wrestler must undergo a rigorous training program which in- cludes a lot of running and weight- lifting. The wrestler must not only train after school every day, but he must also structure his eating habits so he can maintain his weight, which de- termines the level of wrestlers he will fight against.

The most improved were Ted Fouke C140 lbs.l and Tom Nuzum l152l, both of whom managed to compile some very impressive records their first year on Varsity.

Because a unusually large part of the team had injuries, the Rams did not perform as well this year as in other years. Even though their record was only fair and nothing to brag about, the team was full of promising wrestlers. With the talents of Ted Fouke, Peter Saghir, and Tom Nuzum, the future looks bright for the Varsity Rams.

This year's swimming season result- ed with possibly the best season in a number of years. With such great new talents as freshman Win Lin, sopho- more Phil Naumann, and Junior Matt Kemball-Cook, the team was deter- mined to win first in state. The team, for the first time, needed diving coach Mr. Scott Shaw, and also reached an all time high in participation with over seventy swimmers crowding the pool. Despite the number of swimmers, however, Mr. Dan Hinrichs was able to help everyone improve his strokes. The season began with a number of wins. For the first time in Country Day history, they won the Parkway North Relays. The next great victory was the defeat of Columbia Hickman, a win that broke Hickman's winning streak of over fifty meets and stopped them from breaking the Missouri record for the most consecutive wins. The domi- nance continued until the formidable opponent Parkway West challenged, ending in Country Dayls first defeat of the season. The only other defeat was to Blue Springs, partly due to a long night of cold weather and anxious waiting in the Shoney's Inn near Kan- sas City. The team then spent the rest of the 1 l l 1 I season preparing for the state meet in I Columbia. Finally state arrived, and it was bound to be a long overdue victo- i ry for the Water Rams. The State title was within reach, but a few unpreven- table errors caused the team to have to accept second place. We will beat West next year for sure, a deter- mined young swimmer commented after the meet. This kind of determina- tion will, hopefully, get the Country Day swim team more victories in years to come. Arthur Weise '89 . 1 i I Aug: , , if fl ,f ff- Qi' 5 Z i: . f ' it 4 - ,. lx ..

Q 0 Future s Bright C-Soccer shows a lot of promise with a little more guidance from new coach, Mr. Gould. The C-soccer Rams had a semi-suc- cessful year, with a 6-7-2 record. The team was led by Chris Gould, a new faculty member. Coach Gould let it be known that although this was a C sport, he wasn't going to allow anyone to blow it off. There would be daily practice and no skipping. Mr. Gould trained the team to play well both outdoors and indoors. Des- cibing the C-soccer practices, sopho- more Vaew Wongsurawat said that they were grueling and heart-wrench- ing. The team was led by Charlie Ri- baudo, the leading scorer. He helped give a solid punch to the team. Aggres- sive plays by Tom Hickey and Ken Metcalf made the other teams think twice about taking on the CDS soccer team. John Gira, Jason Eckhoff, Greg Dohogne, Mike Yang, and Gayle Chyu were freshmen who possessed the scoring power on the team. Goalies Ronnie Hind and Josh Frager were sensational. The team had a lot of sophomores, including David Kodner, Rob Kloecker, John Engman, Vaew Wongsurawat, and Chuck Thompson. They gave a helping hand and moral support in time of need. Although the team had only a fair season, the coaches feel that with a little experience and a lot more prac- tice, next year will be a very promising one for the players.

There is not a teacher in sight. Four students sit in the Commons room eat- ing hamburgers and talking about what happened during school. They are waiting for the yearbook meeting to begin. Elsewhere, Russian Dancers are re- viewing steps during a rehearsal, and the Troubadors cast is going over lines, preparing for its performances during Thanksgiving break. On the walls, sheets are filled with names of students who donated their time to give tours to prospective can- didates fstudentsl for next year and their parents. Other sheets announce the new members of the fall Model United Nations and their countries. What do all these students have in common? They all participate in a school-sponsored activity. Student activities - they are fun, in- teresting, exciting, and challenging. At the beginning of the school year, stu- dents flock to sign up for them - SADD, Investment Club, Russian Dancing, Yearbook, News, Trouba- dors, Chess, Seldom Scene, and Liter- ary Review are just some of the many activities offered to students. This year, many hard-working stu- dents made the clubs effective and successful. One of these, SADD, had a surprisingly large turn-out this year, with over fifty students signing up. Students join these clubs for many reasons. They may enjoy dancing, act- ing, or writing, they may want the cov- eted Signet Points, or they may just want to stand out among their peers. Whatever the reason, the school clubs are stronger than ever now. This is great for the school, because every extracurricular activity plays a part in the smooth operation of the school. Every member of the school communi- ty that participates in an activity is a well-rounded student. 'Lat At ight This year's yearbook staff, although inexperienced, was able to produce a quality yearbook. The Staff, under Editor-in-Chief Son Nhan, did not have editorial experience. They were trained in only one week at a journal- ism workshop held at the University of Missouri at Columbia. However, the editorial staff, consisting of mostly un- derclassmen, was able to learn quick- ly, and soon the deadlines, which were before were missed, were made. As one editor put it, We learned a lot at one week of camp. lt was the first chance we were able to learn about the yearbook. The staff could not have accom- plished such a formidable task without the help and support of certain mem- bers of the faculty. For example, when the numerous articles had to be planned and typed out, Mrs. Bull al- lowed the staff to use the computer room, sometimes up til 11 o'clock at night. Son Nhan said, Mrs. Bull is a big asset to the yearbook. All her help is greatly appreciated. At times Son went beyond the duty of Editor-in-Chief by having to act as a true editorial leader. One tough job was getting all of the editors to coop- erate and do their jobs. It always starts out with people interested, but by two weeks, the excitement dies. The editors, however, have managed to work well with Son after they real- ized what had to be done. Joe Gira, editor of student life, comments He is competent. Other editors worked hard, but still believed that Son is an anti-leader. Faculty Advisor Mr. Mac- Kenzie said, This year's staff is the most irresponsible, unorganized staff that I have ever seen. The fact that they are called editors is laughable. After hearing all of this about the staff, one wonders how a decent year- book can be produced. Son explains It's a God-sent miracle.

EIL' 7 llj HU This years News had a most suc- cessful year because of the leadership and experience of its editors. Senior John Winer, editor-in- chief, worked hard to get the paper organized early to make the year a successful one. Senior Willie Epps took time out from the busy job of Student Council Presi- dent to be the business manager, and he did a great job of getting subscrip- tions and ads to give the paper money to run on. The News, as usual, reported all of the major news events at the school, such as the l.S.A.C.S. evaluation in October. It also gave reports on all of the sports teams and how they were doing. Senior Tom Denneen, sports editor, worked hard to make sure that all of the different teams were covered in articles. The features section made a lot of interesting reading, with polls and Zyl' Wm ff ,ff , . ,,,r , - tn' ,W if opinions on school food and other similar topics. The editorials were, as always, presenting some kind of good argument or topic for debate. The writers for the CDS News de- serve credit for their good articles, but the real effort comes from the editors, who compile the rough drafts and turned them into one complete news- paper. The success of the News can always be measured by the number of papers that plaster the walls of the Commons Room every time a new issue is re- leased. Or one can just look at the rapid disappearance of the bundles of newspapers that sit in the entrance of May Hall. However you measure the News' success you'll come up with the same answer every time, the News this year was great.

They receive creative works such as poems and short stories from students, and publish them together in one magazine. This magazine shows the artistic talent of the students. lt also gives a chance for the writers to get other students' opinions on their work. The staff is composed of students, Nick Penniman, Zara Anishanslin, Tif- fanie Cason, and Sarah Schoedinger are the editors-in-chief. They choose twelve pieces of work each, coming from the 18 editors and five photogra- phers. Normally, Mary Institute and Coun- try Day have had only one joint issue. However, unlike last year, which had no co-ed issue, this year's staff decided to combine every issue to get more diversified material. The first issue went out on January 15, 1988. It was a huge success. Since it was a joint issue, they decided that rather than giving it a title, they would use the symbolic yin-yang, which domi- nated the cover. They are also plan- ning on a spring issue. Nick Penniman believes that this should be the best and most interesting issue that they have ever had, for the first time, they are going to try photojournalism, in which they are going to assign a pho- tographer to interpret pieces of work and take pictures to accompany arti- cles. With all of these new ideas, the next issue is sure to be the best that they have had so far, a true precedent for years to come. Because of more joint issues, the Literary Review has gained many readers. As soon as the magazine comes back from the press, it dissap- pears. So be sure to get one. Gayle Ghyu '91 Foreign Work The Foreign Literary Review, an- other student run magazine, encom- passes all five of the languages offered at Country Day, Russian, French, Spanish, German, and Latin. Each teacher in his or her respective language nominates a student, who will be able to carry out the job of collecting, editting, and printing the various articles and essays that he may collect from language students around the school. The students usually chosen for the task of language editor are those that have studied the language for four or five years and, in most cases, have received recognition for their linguistic acheivements. No one is ever pres- sured into assuming the editor posi- tion. People tend to volunteer simply because they enjoy the language they-new issues of the magazine. Hopefully, the Foreign Literary Review is Nadia Danett, currently, the longest standing member of the school's language de- partment. She first had the idea for starting this unique type of magazine in 1979. She feels that it helps stu- dents use their language abilities for fun rather than for a grade. Without the pressure, people can be creative as they wish without worrying. When pages are filled with murder-mysteries in Russian and seek-and-finds in French, Mrs. Danett knows Country Day Students are enjoying writting for the Foreign Literary Review. ln the Foreign Literary Review's nine year history, there was a three year lapse between 1984 and 1987. However, in the past two years, stu- dents have readily responded to the are studying. -the enthusiasm will not wane! The founder and faculty advisor for Sandy Friedman '88 i fav Ni' My .il T New Look Viewpoint is a newspaper of politi- cal opinion, in which students are per- mitted to discuss diverse factual ori- ented topics. The topics range from Supreme Court Nominee Robert Bork to the Contra Aid Affairs. This newspaper has enjoyed consid- erable success this year in terms of the amount of readers it has succeessfully cultivated. The hard work of the View- point editors has paid off, culminating in an unexpected before-Thanksgiving release. ln past years the magazine was distributed after Thanksgiving and was not widely read. Viewpoint is a coordinated publica- tion with Mary Institute, and it em- ,h ,., , , ., ploys a staff of writers. Mr. Marshall and Mrs. Biggs help provide the stu- dents with careful supervision and guidance. The writers submit a first draft of their articles, which is edited and then returned for revision. The final draft is screened by the editors and if it contains no mistakes is submit- ted for publication. Viewpoint is another means for a Country Day or Mary lnstitute student to show hisfher proficiency in topics of national interest. This year the student publication had a strong leader. Senior Chris Lo- pata was the editor-in-chief for this year's Viewpoint Magazine, and Ju- nior David Kang was his assistant. The magazine this year had a differ- ent appearance from the ones in the previous years. The shape and format of the paper was changed to an attrac- tive form similar to the CDS News. As Junior Suresh Mohapatra put it, The Magazine looks greatg I think I will en- joy reading Viewpoint even more than ever before. Controversies are continually occur- ing in the world as well as at school. The next time you want to read about the views of either side, pick up a Viewpoint. Pele Mutharika '89 .f X X 7 f f if Whether or not the musical Grease is a work of distinguished literary merit still remains to be seen, but regardless, it was extremely popular with both Country Day students and parents this year. It was the first time since 1985 that the Troubadours had sold out on opening night, The Satur- day performance was nearly as packed, and even the Sunday matinee, traditionally seen by only a handful of people, was over three-quarters full. Several important factors contribut- ed to the Troubadours' success. Two of these were the size and experience of the cast. In previous Troubadour casts, the majority of a production would revolve around seven or eight main characters, with the remaining people who didn't qualify for these roles at tryouts being shuffled into cho- rus. This method usually contributed '- J 1 At the high school hop, Zuko shows off his stuff for the Pink Ladies while Johnny Casino sings Born to Hand Jive. 5543? ' A Sell Out to large but mediocre choruses. Not so with Grease. From the outset, the cast was limited to sixteen, and there was no questionable chorus. Additionally, because the cast was so small, each person could be hand-picked for his or her own part. Not only did the ability of the cast stem from its size. Eleven of the six- teen cast members had been in pre- vious Troubadour productions. The failure of last year's Troubadour pro- duction of Finian 's Rainbow was large- ly due to both the age and the inexpe- rience of many cast members. This year's cast knew their responsibilities and were small enough to be success- fully managed by the director, Mr. Mehl. Possibly the most important factor responsible for the size of the audi- ences was the bold, risque nature of Grease. lt was significantly different from most other Troubadour produc- tions, such as Finian's Rainbow, Briga- doon, and Little Mary Sunshine. Not only was Grease set in a more contem- porary setting, but also it dealt with student issues from a student's point of view. Issues including peer pres- sure, fighting, and teen pregnancy came up during the play, but they were dealt with in such a way that the students watching the play could iden- tify with each situation. Simply put, both the ability of the cast and the effectiveness of the play itself helped to make the Troubadour production an unquestionable success. lt was a production that many future Troubadours will hope to match. by Bob lVlcKelvey Tell me more!

Although sometimes props are sim- ple, running the sound effects and lighting all at once is never easy. Matt Boland, stage manager, had to coordi- nate all of these effects with the stage action. Future pieces to be worked on include Shakespeare's The Tem- pest and An Evening of One Act Plays . So what do these men get for all their hard work and dedication? Rec- ognition? Dedicated followers of the Seldom Scene are rewarded at the end of the year with a sleek, black, hand- crafted Seldom Scene T-shirt. Nevertheless, these men enjoy what they do. As Kemal Unverdi said, Sel- dom Scene is AWESOME! I wish I could spend every night here and build sets! The men of the Seldom Scene are seldom recognized for their efforts though they really form the true fon- dations for the plays. Another group that is seldom scene is the troubadors band. This group of students, including less than a dozen of our best band members, plays the mu- sic in accompanyment to the singers on stage. Without their hard efforts, the musical would be nothing.

These groups included one of top seniors, consisting of Country Day's Arnold, Friedman, Hopkins, Lloyd, Nhan, and seven others from area schools, an in- termediate troupe of freshmenfsophe- moresg and the new beginning troupe consisting of class 5 and 6 students from CDS and M.l., who picked Rus- sian Dancing as their after school activ- ity. The senior troupe has been very active with area performances at the Muny Opera, V.P. Fair, Cambodia the years is mainly due to the new after school activity program, set up for CDS and M.I. junior high students. The new group consists of 10 girls and 14 boys who are directed by Mrs. Dan- ett, with the extra help of former Rus- sian Dancer Jill Ridgeway. It is viewed to have been a success in recent years due mainly to its large number of par- ticipants. The program was started so that in the future all dancing requests can be fulfilled. Mrs. Danett beleives that Russian Dancing is good for students, since it teaches self discipline and builds char- acter. She also says that, It not only Rescue Program, halftime perfor- mances at Busch Stadium during the U.S.fSoviet soccer game, and many others too numerous to mention. The entire group of Russian Dancers per- formed at a special television perfor- mances on channels 9, 24, and Ameri- can Cable-Vision. The dancing program's growth over brought Russian Folk Art and the way of life to the masses of people, it gave the kids a sense of accomplishment, self-worth, dignity, self-discipline and abundance of sheer joy of living. It gave them also a deep sense of appre- ciation for their own country. Arthur Weise '89 ie. fl Forming a human chain, the Russian Dancers dance to the Moonshine.

For the first time in Country Day history, the upper school glee club en- tered the St. Louis District Music Festi- val, held this year at Florissant Valley Community College. Five different groups entered: three soloists lMike Stemmler, Bob McKelvey, and Scott Millerl, a quartet lMike Stemmler, Bob McKelvey, Son Nhan, and Scott Mill- erl, and the entire group lMike Stemmler, Bob McKelvey, Son Nhan, Scott Miller, Ray Howard, Alonzo Lee, and David Jamesl. To everyone's surprise, the three soloists, the quar- tet, and the ensemble all received a rating of one, the highest ranking pos- sible at districts, and as a result, quali- fied for the state competition on April 11 30th. An important change in the glee club format was responsible for it's impressive showing at districts, ac- cording to Mr. Mehl, the head of the music department. Mehl accredited the success of this year's glee club mainly to the increase in the number of times per week that the group met. Not only did the group meet four times per week as opposed to last year's three, but also the class counted as a full credit course. Anyone who chooses Glee Club now is serious about the class, said Mehl. The size of the glee club was also a factor in its improvement. ln previous years, several dozen students were members of the glee club, usually join- ing just to fulfill the art requirement. This year, however, the smaller group was able to practice much more effec- tively, and there was a greater amount of time for individual work and im- provement. But the glee club went beyond per- forming at districts. It broadened its audience by performing its Christmas program at several new places this year, such as the Red Cross and Con- way School, the alma mater of four of the seven members. Mehl agreed with this new input into the communi- ty, saying, that aspect can increase. by Bob McKelvey Mr. Shaw, Mike Stemmler, Alanzo Lee, Bob McKelvey, Son Nhan, David James, Scott Mill- er, and Mr. Mehl.

The band is a group of musicians from classes 4 through 1 who are in- terested in music other than the typi- cal concert variety. Although not an official class, the band members meet regulary every Monday night to prac- tice for its concerts. These members perform throughout the St, Louis area and in other locations for local compe- titions. Because Country Day is not one of the bigger schools in the area, the band usually does not take first place, but they do finish strong, espe- cially for their size. This years band, headed by a few strong seniors including Brad Diestel- horst, Aaron Grand, Mike Stemmler, and Jason Saghir, was accompanied by talented underclassmen. The rhythm section is one of the best ever, including David Kodner on the drums and Eric Slaughter on the guitar. This year, the group has moved away from the traditional jazzfrock combination to a more traditional swing style. As one jazz member said, I think the audience will like our new sound bet- ter. They expect jazz from a jazz band, not the rock that we had been play- ing. The members like the new music better, and the elder audience loves the new change. This year, the band did not have as many concerts as they had had in the past. They performed at Mary Insti- tute in the spring and competed in the Florissant Valley competition. The jazz band was the featured attraction at the Raquet Club East, where the seventi- eth birthday of the school was cele- brated. Although one of the less recognized activities, this year's jazz band was a thrill for all those who participated. As band director Bill Habetler says, This year's group was the most musically talented and sensitive group l've had in a long time. Johns Hopkins '88 Sophmore Trip McCoy and Freshman Momo Jeng beat it out in a friendly game of chess. Germany's Till Knorn This year, a new face showed up in the senior class. He was recognizable through his sandy parted hair and his slight accent when he spoke. The new- comer is Till Knorn, an AFS exchange student from West Germany. At a special assembly Till made a presentation to the school about his home country and some of the main differences between life here and there. Till mentioned that one of the differences between America and W. Germany is that the official drinking age in Germany is a mere 16 years old. ln fact, over there, beer machines are as common as soda machines here! Till talked a liitle on the political situation in Germany, especially in Berlin. Ever since the split between Berlin and the rest of W. Germany, there has been a great longing for rev- olution, which holds especially true for Till. Berlin was Till's hometown until he moved to Buchholv in 1982. In Germany, AFS is not necessarily a school-related organization as it is here. Till describes AFS as a college admissions type process. One sends an application to AFS and they pick out who goes and where they go. His chapter of AFS, which included all of North Germany, sent thirty students. Even though AFS determines exactly where you go, Till makes it a point that he really enjoys it here and feels that AFS has afforded him a great op- portunity to come here and live in the United States.

Country Day chess has always been in a kind of limbo. Even though the team has a season and a win-loss record, most refuse to call it a sport. Yet chess this year was not officially considered an activity either, so faithful chess players were denied Signet points for their hard work on the team. With the lost of two strong seniors, this year's group consisted of enthusi- astic freshmen and sophmores with lit- tle or no experience. ln addition to that, the team was never able to field all five of its starters in a single match. The most was only four out of the five once. Consequently, this promising wr ' Q 40- xl 'ff 9 QP 0 .A Ov gr eckmate. young team spent most of its matches on the ropes, winning one match, tying two, and losing the rest. Captain David Silber, inheriting the mantle of first board, found it tough to compete with the finest chessers in the St. Louis area. Ped Bunsongsikul had an extremely successful season, win- ning many of his second board games. Jon Wongsurawat contributed spec- tacular performances in his own, sal- vaging many a game that previously appeared to be hopelessly lost. First year veteran Chuck Thompson helped out, and Sherwin Chen showed his prowess by dealing Ladue, the fore- most team in the area, one of its two losses of the entire season. In all, the chess team had a successful rebuilding year almost qualifying for city-wide playoffs. Mr. Mitchell, the coach of the chess team, intends to go even farther next year. Without any juniors or seniors, the group held its own in the chess league, which shows that the next two years promise to be successful. Mr. Mitchell intends to hold more chess practices to generate enthusiasm and hone the chess players' mating skills. Will he consider holding knight meet- ings? He'd have to check. But one thing is as clear as black and white: Country Day chess could one day be king. David Silber '90 213 Student Authorit The student council meetings at Country Day are held in a very orga- nized and traditional manner, as are most activities at this school. There is a very serious atmosphere in the Har- ris Reading Center, when the bi-week- ly meetings are held. All questions must go through the President himself, who is referred to as Mr. President, and every person wishing to speak must first be recognized by the presi- dent. Occasionally, there arises a heated argument, sometimes between two students, and sometimes between the Parliamentarian and the council. It Junior Ray Howard and Seniors Willie Epps and Bo Rutledge head a student council meeting. Explaining his problem, Senior Paul Miller lets off steam, while Steve Bank listens on. may seem ironic, but the president, not the faculty advisor, has full control over these meetings. All motions must be seconded by another member on the council, and all motions are passed by a majority vote C5070 + ll. ln the president of the student coun- cil, Willie Epps, one can find a respect- ed and dedicated youth who definitely shows leadership qualities. One can also find an experienced politician in Willie, who served as vice-president of the council last year. The student council heads many committees. One is the Assembly Committee, which decides what will entertain us during second period ev- ery Wednesday morning. Their inno- vative suggestions are sure to be a hit among the student body this year. The committee is headed by Paul Miller and Ms. Thompson, and each class elects a person to be a representative on this committee. Other committees include the Tutorial Committee, head- ed by Nick Penniman, and the Athletic Committee, headed by David Bohi- gian. The student council meetings are open to all students. In fact, students are encouraged to come. Richie Khokha '90 9. Secretary Bo Rutledge reads aloud the minutes of the last meeting.

These were made by Country Day's own Students Against Drunk Driving chapter so that the students may real- ize the dangers of driving intoxicated. The first thing that comes up to mind when one thinks of SADD, is the SADD contract, the contract for life. This year's SADD group, with the young junior officers, did much more than that. A major portion of the orga- nization's work was dedicated to the successful SADD Awareness Day, fea- turing junior Donny Anthon as a speaker. His personal story of how drunk driving affected his life touched many hearts, as the audience was awed, gazed at devestating slides which he displayed. As part of the SADD Awareness Day, posters were created by the members, as John Momtazee, junior president of the chapter, commented, they were ex- plosions of creative energyf, Other ac- tivities were the SADD student parent forum in February. In addition, a SADD booth was set up on A Coun- try Day and sold breathalyzers. An aspect of SADD that often goes unnoticed is the meetings. These meetings were built upon the personal problems and thoughts of the mem- bers. This year, the membership rose to an all time high for the Country Day chapter with forty to fifty members. The members were mainly Juniors, Sophomores, and Freshmen. This successful chapter was driven by four junior officers: John Momta- zee, president, Danny Theodoro, vice president, Ray Howard, treasurer, and Pele Mutharika as the sectretary. Though John modestly denied being the catalyst of the chapter's success, much of the success of this year's SADD chapter can be credited to his enthusiasm. John feels that next year will be even better, citing their ambi- tious plan to have Mr. Anastis, the founder of SADD, as a speaker.

Each year interested stu- dents invest twenty-five dollars in cor- porations the club chooses. This year, the Investment Club in- vested in Gerber Scientific, Precision- Cast Parts, and Mesa Limited Partner- ship. The Club invested in these com- panies last year and decided to stay with them because of the outstanding profits. Last October, the stock market took its greatest plunge ever. It dropped 508 points, and people across the nation lost their money playing the market. The Investment Club suffered only a slight setback, however. The Club, like millions of people. lost only its paper gain, the amount of money that it would have gained, if it would've sold all its stock before the crash. So, after the 508 point drop, the Club still had all the money that it had originally invested. Each year the members of the In- vestment Club invest their money hop- ing to make a profit when they collect in their senior year. The Investment Club members remain optimistic that they will receive profitable gains. Last year, students made a profit of about forty-five percent. When the Club sells this year to pay off the sen- iors, the profits won't be so high be- cause ofthe stock market crash, but as Mr. Werremeyer put it, They won't makethaaaat baaaadof a profit. After all, you only make or lose money when you sell. Last year, each senior who had in- vested seventy-five dollars into the Club received a 5125.00 check. This was over a sixty percent profit! As one student put it, The Investment Club is a great way to make money. You just watch it grow and grow. Joe Gira '89 - - ' -.Mr. Werremeyer coolly explains the situation to 1 Investment Club members. Showing Th Way Ever see an abundance of new faces walking around in the fall? They are probably Country Day hopefulls being led around by the guides. The guides are not just any organization, but they are special sophmores, juniors, and seniors who act as representatives of our school as well as evaluators of the applicants. The guides show the prospective student around the school and watch- es how the candidate behaves, making sure no devious trickery is used by the candidate in a desperate effort to get into our grand school.

Most of the loses were only on paper. Mr. Marshall shows around a Country Day Can- didate. keeping eyes on the candidate, leads the boy and his parents through the school explaining programs and activi- ties, hoping to impress exemplary stu- dents in an attempt to sway them away from the other guys , and get them into the school that can serve them best. As the tour finally ends, the determining white slip is filled out, spelling out acceptance for some, and rejection for others. One guide com- ments we have some power. l think the Administration seriously considers our opinions on the candidates. Each guide, after being carefully ex- amined for high charisma and neat ap- pearance, only gets to make 2 to 5 tours a year, depending on if their schedules permit. This year the guides did another exceptional job of picking out candidates and making excellent tours for all. The guides, under the leadership of Seniors David Bohigian, Ashley Gray, and Luke Fouke, can be thought of as a key to admissions, and as expected, without them, the admissions process would be in turmoil. Arthur Weise '89 XV iw Y I I 1 ,gr Debate Argues Away The Saint Louis Country Day De- bate Team has really grown since it was started in 1983. The membership has grown every year, and there are currently over thirty members on the team. With the increasing member- ship, the team has encountered grow- ing success. This year has been the most successful. ln cross-examination debate compe- tition, the team recorded some of the best results ever. Bo Rutledge quali- fied for quarterfinals of tournaments at Parkway West with David Silber and at Parkway Central with John Pruellage. ln addition, the team of Rut- ledge and Silber finished fifth in the city. Rutledge was ranked the third best speaker in the city, just five points behind the winner. The team of John Momtazee and John Pruellage beat X the odds to win the coveted silver bowl by winning the prestigious Chaminade Tournament. Of course, public speaking is just as important as debate, and the results speak for themselves. Country Day students were especially successful in radio speaking with David James and John Pruellage qualifying for the city tournament. Pruellage performed well enough to win sixth place in the city. Country Day's best public speaking results came in Extemporaneous Speaking. This event requires students to deliver eight minute speeches on current events topics. Bo Rutledge took first at Chaminande and Parkway Central, second in the city, and was a semifinalist at Parkway West. David Silber took first in the Parkway South Tournament. Junior Pele Mutharika competed very strongly in the city competition and missed qualifying by merely two points. This year the debate team had some suprise performers. Richie Khokha, Bill Pruellage, Albert Metz, Robert Armstrong, and Sherwin Chen prom- ise a successful future for the Country Day School Debate team. In retrospect, Country Day's Speech and Debate team has upheld the ideals expressed in the school motto. They have shown a belief in their ability to compete and to win. They have shown that they are able of taking what was once a scant number of students and turn it into a highly competitive squad in just a few years. At this rate, a National Championship may come soon enough. Bo Rutledge '88 KH? R. Khokha, B. Pruellage, J. Momtazee, R. Kloecker, D. Silber, R. Arm- Bouchginl A- MCU, R- Guilliams. M. Goebel, D.

Senior Bo Rutledge leads a debate meeting in the lower school. 221 Codasco Takes Over Finally, Country Day has shapped up a community wide activity known as Model U.N. For the first time in at last ten years, one of our own stu- dents, Bo Rutledge, is the Secretary General of the organization. He and many other members of the senior class that make up the secretariate fi- nally got Model U.N. organized with their planning of sessions and their in- clusion of many new schools. Model U.N. sessions involve debate between individuals who represent dif- ferent countries of the world. Like the real United Nations, Model U.N. di- vides students into different commit- ties. Committies vary to include differ- ent committies involving all aspects of the world. Debate between students is on articles written on hot topics like AlDS, the Persian Gulf crisis, and Ge- netic Engeneering. Varying sessional committies include G.T.A., Science and Technology, Political and Social Committee, and the all too popular Crisis room in which a sudden worldly crisis must be solved to maintain inter- national peace. During each session, the separate committees meet first, and on the second day, they all come together to form the General Assem- bly, where resolutions passed in com- mittee are now fought to be accepted by everyone. This year many underclassmen signed up and were accepted. The winter session, because of this, consist- ed mainly of freshmen and sophmores. After news of the excitment of Model U.N. reached the masses, a record ii-,T . . .,,. L if Junior David Kang quickly adjusts the micro-- phone for Willie Epps. , A J 1.112 . ff' ,s,,, 3, vw if.

On the other hand, Kamal Unverdi comments Model U.N. should take place on the week- end so we don't have to miss school. Country Day does very well at the sessions. Hopefully in years to come Country Day will do just as well. X f 24 in V, , K . ,'f.'a. j?5 :Wi Arthur Weise '89 if ,gy y af X K U. ..

People are out enjoying the perfect weath- er while I'm writing this. The school is being cleaned from top to bottom, and I can smell the stench of Pine-Sol filling up the whole place. I guess I should start a thank-you note. First, thank God this is over, and that we finally got a yearbook out! All those hours spent talking to a computer were driving me crazy. Second, Mr. Mackenzie, I know we did not meet one dead- line, but thank you for all of your understanding and support. Mrs. Bull, thanks for allowing us to use the computer room and for placing your trust in me. Mr. Nelson, you can have your office back now. How much do we owe you for rent, anyway? Well, all I know is that we can't ever repay your kindness. Thanks for being there when everyone was away. Mrs. Reisinger, Mrs. Hobson, and Ms. Patterson - all those twenty-five cent calls and five-cent copies really added up. Thanks for not counting and for making the Editor-in-Chief position worthwhile. To my brothers: when no one could be depended upon, you guys were my unsung heroes. And finally, thanks to Pat and Ped Bunsongsikul, David POSITION Ed in Chief Assistant Index Ed Senior Ed Copy Ed Ass Copy Ed Faculty Ed Sports Eds Clubs 8a Acts Class Eds. Business Eds. Academic Ed.

MacKenzie Engman, Gabe Liberman, Gayle Chyu, Arthur Weise, and David Nalesnik. Thanks for sticking around when others quit. Anyone else? Have I forgotten anyone? Oh yeah, the facul- ty has been very cooperative and helpful, but they always are. Thanks. I guess that's it oh, I almost forgot my class and my staff. First of all, thanks to the seniors, without whom this book would be worthless. Without their support, nothing would have gotten done. Thank you for believing in me. I'll never forget it. It has been it has been oh darn, I forgot the word, but it has been. Then to my staff: you guys did it all. Congratulations and good luck next year. You'll need it. Well, that's it. Nothing about responsibility, leadership, coo- peration, and all that 'cause I can't remember it. I can see the flashing of the screen and the people running in the sun. Have a great summer and a great life. Your editor, SON Special Thanks Pat Bunsongsikul Ped Bunsongsikul Gayle Chyu Arthur Weise David Nalesnik Mrs. Bull Mr. Nelson Mr. Helms Mrs. I-Iobson Mrs. Reisinger Ms. Patterson Editor's Note For the first time in the history of the Codasco, an Editor-in- Chief resigned. On March 31st, Son Nhan came to me and gave me his yearbook keys, a week before the final deadline. l'm not exactly sure why Son resigned with only a week to go. He probably felt he would be unable to finish the yearbook in that limited amount of time. It certainly wasn't because he didn't know what he was doing. He completed the Student Life and Senioritis sections virtually on his own, and he spent countless late nights in the darkroom developing pictures when no photography editor could be found. Son rarely got the credit he deserved for the work he accomplished. -There is just one important thing which need be known about the Editor-in-Chief position. An Editor-in-Chief cannot simply order his co-editors to do tasks, not realizing that they could be offended by the one-sidedness of this. He must allow input from the other editors on important issues such as the theme, cover, and overall design of the yearbook. As a result of actions such as these, the other editors will feel they have a vested interest in the good of the yearbook and will work hard to create the best one they can. Above all, an Editor-in-Chief Elite layout staff Sherwin Chen David Engman Alonzo Lee Jason Morris Marvin Sinsukal Key Son Derek Stockman must realize that persuasion is the key to leadership. The rest of this note is devoted to thanking all the people responsible for helping me meet the deadline and get the yearbook out on time. Most importantly, thanks to my Assis- tant Editor, Aaron Grand. He not only spent five hours one Saturday helping me prepare 114 pages for submission, but he also stayed up until 5:00 AM helping get the final group of pages ready to send. I never would have been able to do it without Aaron's help. My thanks also go out to the seniors, especially Mike Casey and Bo Rutledge, who helped type and prepare the index. A significant chunk of the yearbook would be gone if it weren't for those guys. Thanks finally to the members of the elite layout staff. The layouts of the senior pages were due entirely to their work, and I really appreciate the help they gave me leven if it was for the Signet Pointsl.

After the perfor- mances on March 4th and 5th, Keith Waxelman said, I think that our group collaboration was the back- bone of the play. The play itself consisted of short skits that had diverse themes. Some skits had variations and were easily understood, while others had a deep- er meaning that was incomprehensi- ble. As Jimmy Huang put it, The play was wierd, but overall, it was orchestrated well. I think the best part was the skit with Matt Rosen and Bob Mahoney. They immitated the Casio keyboard commercial. It was totally cool, dude.

Q N l' Prize ay It is a tradition of Country Day to encourage students to strive for ex- cellence in everything they do and to congratulate them for their achieve- ments. This year, the first two per- iods of a Wednesday were devoted again to Prize Day. A quick glance at the list of prizes may seem almost like looking at a college list. Harvard, Yale, Prince- ton, Brown, and many other presti- gious colleges have lent their names to awards given to students who have achieved, whether it be in athletics, extracurriculars, academics, or any other more specific category. Many other awards are named by past alumni and other notable people. It also seems to be another inevita- ble tradition that one person gets sin- gled out during Prize Day, and the entire ceremony seems devoted to this person. This person usually ends up sweeping the majority of the prizes, collecting a considerable pile of plagues, certificates, books, and cups. Past years have seen the Garth R. Wiens and Kenneth W. Brakebill Day. This year, one pre- senter of an award caught on and finally announced this year's Aaron G. Grand Day.

Prize Cum Laude Society 2? l l , Q I l A s 1 ,A lat' 1: I V, .5 Country Day has always pushed its students on to excellence in every field, whether it be in athletics or academics, school studies or extra- curricular activities. The school has two main societies which recognize the students who have excelled in their work. The Signet Society was erected to recognize those students who have contributed greatly to the school in the form of enriching the school through extensive participa- tion in extra-curricular activities. On the other hand, excellence in aca- demics is recognized by Cum Laude. Students in approximately the top fifth of the senior class are recog- nized as members of this elite soci- ety. To be eligible for membership, students must have an average for the past two years which meets the cutoff point established by the soci- ety. However, Cum Laude is not a so- ciety that is exclusive only to Coun- try Day. Mary Institute and, inter- estingly, Principia are also member schools of Cum Laude. Each year, the induction ceremo- ny is held in the spring at one of the three schoolsg the location is rotated year after year. This year, students from Mary In- stitute and Principia joined our own seniors in Danforth for the Cum Laude ceremonies. Following the in- duction, Bo Rutledge entertained the auidience with a little speech about struggling for success and life in gener- al, motivating the rest of us to excel- lence. .lim Huang '89 Top: The top fifth of the graduating classes from The Principia, Country Day. and Mary Institute were honored at the Cum Laude ceremony.

Last spring. the seniors pulled off yet another prank. As usual, the police were involved. The seniors had parked their cars in Founder's Court, blocking off the entrance to May Hall. ln the morning, students and faculty were seen leaping over the obstacles laid by the cars. SS13I1 The Russian Dancers of Country Day finally got noticed during an all- school assembly last spring. The hard work and persevering efforts of all the Russian students paid off. Many people had heard of the Russian Dancers before, but they had never actually seen them per- form. The famous Russian Dancers make performances annually at the V.P. Fair, as well as other special ancing events. Russian teacher Nadia Danett took out many hours to teach her students. All her students, ranging from class one to class five, learned the Russian dances. The assembly opened with a per- formance of the shumak by the sen- ior Russian Dancers. As the assem- bly progressed, class by class per- formed one dance after another. The its CDS highlight of the show was a sword dance by the class two Russian stu- dents. Judging by the expressions on their faces, all the dancers were proud of their accomplishmentsg they should have been. The rest of the school left with an excellent illus- trated idea of Russian dancing. John Gira '91 2 . 2 il is X if Al The Russian Dancers line up to accept their applause.

C-Baseball Despite several disappointments early in the season, the Freshman baseball team finished very respect- ably in the A-B-C league. The team, led by power hitter and ace pitcher Tom Hickey, made significant im- provements after getting off to an O- 3 start. Most of the schools that the team played were much larger than Country Day, which made it more of a challenge. The team also had several good, reliable players such as Ed Coleman, first baseman, Kenny Metcalfe, out- fielder and catcher, Nick Hereford, catcher, and Jason Anishanslin, pitcher and shortstop, just to name a few. These players, combined with a good pitching staff, gave the Fresh- man Rams a 6-7 record and 4-1 A-B- C league record making them the A- B-C league Champs. Although the record was not a winning one, the Freshmen Rams earned valuable ex- perience that will help them next year. The coaches, Mr. Dave Stevens and Mr. Don Casey took a group of weak and inexperienced baseball players and turned them into a good, sharp team that was well respected. Country Day should see some ex- cellent baseball from this group next year. Mark Goldman '91 This year's Running Rams were led by another great set of captains: Willie Epps, Curt Boeschentstein, and Tom Denneen. Their strength in supporting the team helped each runner push a little harder in clutch situations when the points were need- ed most. Our first dual meet was a disap- pointing defeat by Priory. The score was close: 67.5 to the Rams' 64. The team's enthusiasm was shown by the support down to the last event. Track Each day Mr. Marshall has his strenuous workout ready for the team. Above the moans and groans, the sound of the captains' voices ring out. The captains lead the team for the daily workout. Even though many of them would rather be hiding behind the jumping pits, they contin- ue their workout. And the work pays off in another dual meet against Chaminade. The meet ended with a victory for CDS with a score of 89 to 54. Country Day's Dual Meets Priory - 67.5 at Chaminade - 54 at Principia - 92 at CDS - 66 at Luth. North - 27.5 at CDS - 67 at St. Gen. - 54.5 at CDS - 85 at CDS - 64 CDS - 89 CDS - 54 Brentwood - 85 CDS - 117.5 Burroughs - 79 CDS - 64 Card. Ritter - 36 if P1 X. The rest of the season was a mix- ture of wins and losses, but overall the Running Rams came out with a larger number of wins. Throughout the entire year, CDS showed its great strength in their support and their desire to win. The team consisted of many young hope- fuls, so in the future, the Running Rams will definately be victorious meet after meet. Pat Bunsongsikul '91 Y--J Q W 'ri' Varsity Tenni Yes I think we had a succesful season, was how coach Caltigirone responded when asked how he thought the season went. The team finished with a record of 7-6, which was much better then what others had expected. The record is mislead- ing considering that four of the loses were to teams such as, Chaminade, who finished with a record of 6-l and sent players winning State in 4A and 5A, Parkway West and Central, and Ladue, who finished with a record of 7-0 record, sending their number one singles and number one doubles to State. There is no shame in losing to teams like that , as coach Calti- girone put it. Of course they started improving with help from players like Richard Epstein, Joel Schachter, Brian Humphrey, Dennis Huyck, Ward Brown, Chris Living- stone, Ted Durham and Dan Ford, bringing them to third in ABC league. They sent two to districts and Durham and Ford to State, bringing back a second place, losing only to a team that had not lost 28 straight matches, in three sets with two tie breakers. Yes they did have a succesful season and with only three spots open and the entire B team to fill it, and if they keep up their high inten- sity and good attitude, Coach Calti- girone thinks they will have an even more succesful season next year.

They proved more than willing to accom- plish the task ahead of them. They ended up having their strongest sea- son ever. The JV team was led by Captain Joy Kapur, who played doubles with Salemi Hawatameha. Together, they won almost every match they played. Other starters included Winston Wren, Joe Gira, Kemal Unverdi, Suresh Mohapatra, and Charlie Gal- lagher, who was the most colorful player by far. Coach Lloyd left Country Day with an absolute bang. The JV team ended its season with an 1 1-2 record, being undefeated in the ABC League. The team also became the ABC League Tournament Champi- ons, winning in every position. Led by Coach Robert Jones and captains Rick Hall and Robert Arm- strong, the C-tennis team finished its season with a remarkable record. Every player took his game seri- ously and competition for starting positions was strong. Moral was very high. With each victory came the strive to achieve another victory. As John Gira put it, The coach worked us hard, but it all paid off in the end. Hactor Plotkin '91 W!

Few people can at- test to having both the physical and mental stamina to swim three- fourths of a mile, bike twenty-six miles, or run ten kilometers, but these athletes, or more aptly tri-ath- letes, were determined to participate in a grueling test which includes all three of those events consecutively - the Lake St. Louis Triathlon. For the last few months of school, the tri-athletes trained together to try to best prepare themselves for the competition. On some days they ran six or more miles, on others they swam lap after lap in the pool, occa- sionally they biked for hours, and sometimes they even combined two legs of the race. Still, some doubted if they would be able to finish the race. While a few ambitious people aimed at low S 'W-. f ' - is .j' .r .- Ju 4.10 4 H 1 ,, 4 , v -rr-'-nafqff 6 . . Q 'lb times in the triathlon, most wanted only to finish the race, seeing that, in itself, a great accomplishment, and rightfully so. The year before, German teacher and fitness aficionado, Doc Kalmar, had participated in the Lake St. Louis Triathlon and developed the idea of having a group of students and faculty represent Country Day and enter the competition. On June 5, his idea became a reality as twelve students and six faculty not only be- gan but also finished the triathlon. These Iron Menl' were Mike Engel, John Engman, Ted Fouke, Aaron Grand, Mike Gray, Will Strong, Joe Eckrich, Bobby Scharff, David Silber, Scott Galt, Matt Kemball- Cook, Ronnie Hind, Bruce MacKen- zie, Duncan Marshall, Al Kalmar, Bob Donahue, Tom Fitzgibbon, and Chris Gould.

X 2'- is ,J Wa U r Mr. Lloyd Leaves CDS When someone asks how good a school is, they usually want to know what kind of colleges the seniors get into. During Mr. Lloyd's tenure at Country Day, the lists of colleges that accepted students have never been disappointing. These successes have helped to mold a very strong image within the Country Day com- munity. For the last fourteen years, Mr. Lloyd has served as the college ad- missions guide, and also as a history teacher. He has done an excellent job in both areas, although he readily admits that some senior classes were better than others. In his capacity as college director, he cites his most successful years as being his first and last two senior classes. The desire to be closer to family in the Northeast has brought Mr. Lloyd to accept a job at the Univer- sity School of Cleveland. Although he is leaving, he has very high hopes for Country Day in the future, and says, CDS is growing all the time, and will continue to do so. Mr. Lloyd will be sorely missed at Coun- try Day, and his contributions to the school will not be forgotten. Scott Wilkens '89 Mr. Lloyd honored many of us during his tenure at CDS. Standing to recieve his applause, Mr. Lloyd was honored at the Graduation of the Class of 1988. . as X sl- ...ir w'a.-.+sEi:. 8, x 1 U U-f'Q',,,,.Q't',,,,,-4 .

You could look out at the river or up at the stars or watch the fireworks as Terry Pendleton belted one over the wall at Busch orjust talk quietly with your date and your friends. Once prom jammed its way into morning, everyone headed for the after-prom. When we got there we found ourselves in a Las Vegas casi- no, or at least something resembling a casino. We got off the bus and were handed 55,000 in play money to gamble away. The crap tables, blackjack tables, and the roulette wheels were jammed with people who were eagerly trying to multiply their money by obscene numbers with the hope that they could raise enough cash to buy that special something at the auction. Outside there were several tables and a beau- tiful fountain for those who had gone broke and were running away from their loan-sharks. Prom is a very special event in the life of a high school student. The '87- '88 prom was a tremendous success.

It started at 9:00 pm on the riverboat The City of St. Louis and lasted until mid- night. The theme - Jammin' in Ja- maica - gave way to numerous deco- rations. The ships many decks were filled with paper parrots, straw hats, streamers, fake sand tstrawl, a hut, paper pineapples, a fountain, and fake palm trees. To prepare for the theme, the band - Off-Center - learned a few Reggae songs. As a parting gift, everybody got a mini- ture brandy snifter and a straw hat. The after-prom took place at Baur Properties on Maryville Center Drive. The after-prom was modeled after a casino with blackjack, rou- lette, and craps. With all the gam- bling profits, people were able to buy goods at the auction which followed.

Despite the doubts of many staff members the 1987-88 CODASCO yearbooks were ready for distribution. The edi- tors had assumed positions all over campus and were finding copies of the black and red cover book to ea- ger students and faculty members. There was a general scramble to get the books signed by friends, since its distribution date was behind sched- ule. It seemed that everyone on cam- pus had a yearbook in their hands, and was flipping through the pages to see how many pictures they were in. lt did not occur to anyone to look in the indexg but then that would take all the fun out of it. To the CODASCO staff members the organizational problems that had plagued the yearbook all year seemed far away. All that mattered was that the book, their book, was finished. Theirjobs were done, and it seemed that after the yearbooks were distributed, school was official- ly over. For some, this yearbook would be their last, but for all, it would bring back memories.

Other perfor- mances were made by the Country Day Glee Club.

CDS ROC ERS Last spring, the group Room Two hit the campus during an as- sembly period. The group consisted of three sophmores of CDS, David Kodner on drums, Al Lee on bass guitar and keyboard, and Eric Slaughter on guitar. The three students formed their group two years ago. Since then, they've been practicing weekly for nine hours. Commenting on their performance last year, David Kodner says, We played pretty bad, but we've gotten a lot better since then. During the summer '88, two mem- bers of the group, David and Eric, attended a five week music camp at the Berklee College of Music in Bos- ton. Now, the group is more tight and plays jazz-oriented songs. They plan on performing for the school again this spring.

Stu- dents statewide headed to Columbia prepared to undertake a week of learning and more homework, just one week after the end of school. The week's agenda included hour lectures lasting the entire day. It was hard work, but the students received hands-on experience, something that amp would be valuable to them in the up- coming year. There were a few breaks for lunch and dinner, but classes didn't end un- til nine thirty at night. The highpoint of the week was the picnic and dance. The entire week was vigorous and demanding, but the students gained lots of knowledge and experience. lt was a fun and exciting week, and students got to know new people other leaders to the Summer Media Work shop. from across the state. After the week ended successfully, the students felt good and had confi- dence that they were able to put out next year's yearbooks and newspa- pers.
