... to their maximum potential so they may

pursue mentally enriched and worthy lives.\"

TWO plans are offered to achieve this

goal: Innovation '68 and the methods of

teaching that have been revised and improved throughout the school's_ 16 years.

Innovation provides a setting for selfmotivation, teaches students to plan and

organize their time, and personally involves the students in their school work. In

the rest of the school the traditional form of

class meets everyday with the teacher for

discussion, lecture, and lab. The \"old school\"

is based on the track system, where students' ability to grasp a subject determines

their class and work. In the new method

there is one weekly large group lecture for

each course which provides a basic background for that week. Seminars of ten students meet twice a week, when, while

learning to work with a group, the students

attempt to provide their own answers to

questions. The remainder of students' time

is spent in teacher conferences, the study

halls, the labs, the library, or the testing

room. Testing in the \"new school\" is on an

individual sign-up basis, while in the other

two-thirds of the school each subject has its

own testing day. But here the school's contrast ends.

Although students seem separated because of the two educational programs,

there is still a feeling of unity that links all

individuals together into one large group.

It is this one large unified group that pushes,

shoves, and yells down the halls each day;

cheers at the games, builds the floats, and

bugaloos at the Ramsdens. Homerooms

composed of both old and new students

elect representatives to the class legislatures and the Student and Social Councils,

offering one more opportunity for all students to work closer together.

Parkway, Lindbergh Victories

Highlight .500 Year

THE 1967 Football Rams under the watchful eye of Coach

Ed Velten got off to a fast start, cooled off, and then

bounced back to complete a respectable 4-4 record. In

the opening game first year quarterback Mike Roberts

guided the Rams to a 13-6 victory over St. Thomas Aquinas.

Ladue scored two touchdowns and then held off a number

of Falcon threats. The following week the Rams boosted

their record to 2-0 by crushing the Augustianian Braves,

35-13. Todd Tupper led the way rushing for 135 yards

and scoring three touchdowns while Bryan Alu scampered

for 116 yards on the ground. In the first home game of

the campaign the team upset eventual league co-champion

Parkway, 7-0. Behind junior linebacker Jeff Feldman, the

defense shutout the Colts who had been averaging over

25 points a game. Todd Tupper's touchdown provided all

of the points needed. Going into the Webster game the

Rams were 3-0 and ranked seventh in the area, but the

loss of Glenn Patrick and Jerry Vouga due to injuries

resulted in a 13-7 Statesmen victory, and the first loss

for the Blue and White. The next three weeks the Rams

scored first in their games, but could neither hold their

opponents nor generate another touchdown drive. Kirkwood

won the following contest 15-7, U. City defeated Ladue for

the first time, 13-6, and Mehlville also registered its first

victory over the Rams, 7-6. In the final battle of the year

the Rams came back to edge the Lindbergh Flyers, 14-12.

Roger Bock's three pass receptions in the fourth quarter

set up the winning score, ending the 4-4 season on a thrilling

note.

The sophomore football team under Coach Dale Collier had the finest record in Ladue history with a 4-1-1

season. Their only loss came on the last game of the season.

Harriers Complete Season On Winning Note

PLAGUED by injuries and the loss of two top

runners to other cities, the 1967 Cross

Country team struggled through the early part

of the season before emerging victorious in their

final duel of the year over U. City and Clayton.

The team nicknamed, \"The Bunch\", featured Captain Ed Throop who finished first in numerous

meets. He also broke the school record for the

two-mile cross country run in both the Ladue Invitational and the U. City meet. The young team

had only three experienced seniors returning

from last year. This placed a great burden on

the junior and sophomore runners. These Harriers were led by juniors Dennis Mertz, Andy Lewis,

Mike Feldman, and sophomores Kevin Coyle,

Jim Fehlig, and Terry Tobin. They all ran in the

District Meet, in which the Rams finished twelfth.

Bob Pollard, another outstanding junior, placed

highest for Ladue as he came in forty-fifth. Now

that the younger members of the team have

gained experience, next year's squad should be

highly successful.

Respectable Season

U NDER Coach Robert Graham the 1967

Water Polo team came roaring back from

a slow start to put together two three-game

conference winning streaks. This year's

team was led by Senior Lettermen co-captain Chip Zempel, co-captain Bruce Jordan,

Bill Irwin, Bob Murden, and junior Joe

Zuckerman, the leading scorers of the Eudal.

The Rams dropped their first two games of

the campaign to Clayton, 12-0, and U. City,

8-1, before registering their first victory over

Hancock, 20-9. In the next two games the

Eudals sank Mehlville and St. Louis U. High.

The team was then outclassed by Lindbergh,

13-4, and dropped a thrilling overtime game

to U. City, 11-9. Eventual District champion

Clayton beat Ladue for the second time,

9-2, the following Friday. The second threegame winning streak followed with wins

over Hancock, Mehlville, and St. Louis U.

again. Lindbergh stopped the streak by

dunking the Eudals, 6-1. In the District Meet,

St. Louis U. finished the Rams season with

a 2-1 setback, ending the 6-7 season on

a dismal note.

Cagers Improve As

Campaign Closes

A LTHOUGH the Basketball Rams finished the year with a

6-15 record for first year coach Mike Ramming, the team

thrilled the Ladue fans with impressive plays toward the

end of the season. The cagers started the campaign with a

second place finish in the Hazelwood Tournament, and

then rattled off three straight victories over John Burroughs,

Maplewood, and U. City. Senior Andy Hessel and junior

Mike Roberts did most of the scoring during those games.

The Rams found winning difficult the next several weeks as

they went into a tailspin and dropped eight straight

games. The closest they came was a disappointing 65-60

loss to CBC. The second U. City meeting also went to the

Rams by a score of 82-64. The roundballers were then

thumped by an overpowering Kirkwood team, and beaten

by Mehlville. The following night an inspired Ladue team

saw their ten-point lead over Lindbergh dwindle and finally

disappear. When the game ended the Rams found themselves on the short end, 69-66. Following a loss to Webster,

the cagers faced rival Parkway and outplayed them for

three quarters and seven minutes of the final stanza only

to get nipped at the wire, 58-53. Ladue swamped Clayton,

87-71, and lost a heartbreaking game to Pattonville, 66-64,

in their first contest in State Regional.

could bounce back into a game after being down at the half. Against

Webster the team scraped to overcome a Webster lead, tied the game,

and won in overtime. Outstanding plays throughout the year were

Innovation English Provides New Curriculum

THROUGH diversified studies, the

English Department encourages the

student to become creative in both

his thinking and writing. The guidance of enthusiastic teachers

leads students to develop an understanding of drama, novels, mythology, short stories and poetry,

especially in Innovation where

students pursue these forms in

separate courses. Written and

spoken communication is improved

with the study of composition and

grammar. This analysis, along with

a knowledge of the mechanics of

the English language, provides a

foundation upon which the student

can base his opinions concerning

his world and how he relates to it

and also enables him to communicate his ideas to others.

Juniors Sponsor KXOK All-Stars,

Breakfast To Raise Money

FRONT ROW: Judy Reiss, secretary. SECOND ROW: Jay Levitch, treasurer; Bill Holtzman, president; lrv Gornstein, vice-president.

WITH increased pride and spirit the class of '69 began their

junior year at Ladue. The class

homecoming float, \"Pen the Panthers,\" displayed the work of

many dedicated juniors. Fall

moneymaking projects included

a breakfast in the courtyard and

a pumpkin sale. The KXOK AllStar game earned $350 for the

junior class. Fund-raisers such as

selling needle threaders, T-shirts,

and windbreakers continued

throughout the year. In the spring

a Roman theme added a special

touch to the fabulous JuniorSenior Prom. In addition, spring

brought the annual, exciting

Washington Trip. At the climax of

a fantastic year the junior class

felt ready to assume its role as

the new senior class of Ladue.

THE

SENIOR

CLASS

OF

1968

Larry Hartstein, treasurer; John Baron, president; Christy Ferer, secretary; Rick Fry, vice-president.

T HIS is our class history, not just a record of events, but

memones which are unique for they belong to us alone, Ladue

'68. Recalling September, 1965, brings to mind the anxiety of

finding homerooms, lockers, friends and, of course, the cafeteria.

The stagecoach led the \"Harness 'Em\" float ... projects galore:

Ladue pennants, key chains, needle threaders, light bulbs ...

Freddy Berger, Roger Bock, Glenn Geeser and Jerry Vouga

joined varsity ranks ... we endured the suffering of Job ...

Mary Ruprecht was our representative to Siam and we presented

the Wizard of Oz, prom style ... Our junior year was soon upon

us â¢.. the Magazine Drive, our success â¢.. however, never again

will we be graced with another donkey basketball game ...

caroling in 20Â° weather became a tradition â¢.. Saturday

projects were introduced ... \"cake\" became part of our

vocabulary ... we were ecstatic over \"The Four Tops\" ... the

Washington Trip was unforgettable ... through sleet, snow,

rain, and cafeterias we tramped ... as the girls cultivated their

minds in the halls, the boys caught up on the latest flicks ...

then Jody Gillerman led us through what may be considered

the greatest prom in Ladue's history, \"Sayonara,\" with the Oliver

Sain Review ... Shelley Washburne and Bob Ogilvie began to

learn Swedish andÂ· Japanese the easy way ... As seniors, we

witnessed a great year ... Acid Rock, the Funkie Broadway, the

Blues and wild stockings were the rage ... we were the guinea

pigs for Innovation and enjoyed it ... the Debate Team was dynamic ... recent returnees from Europe and other such places

calmed down after a hot summer ... Vincent Price Studio was a

home away from home ... SAT's and Achievement Tests were

endured but not without setbacks ... Bonnie and Clyde forever

... and Senior Grub Days were here to stay .. senior class

projects were headed by \"FOOF,\" W.C. Fields, and The Little

Rascals ... Monelle and Fortuna attended school American

style, rarely ... Varsity football experienced a dismal season,

but our homecoming football prom, \"Rams Royal Flush,\" was

a credit to our class ... noisy study hall became a senior lounge,

long needed ... while the vending machines were demanded

after heated debate ... Rocky's Bad Guys, the Crystal Lake Men,

and the Underground were all formed ... the first U.S. Senate

was riotous ... Many Moons and My Fair Lady came to Ladue's

auditorium ..â¢ while Senior Women sat at home ... photo essays

envisioned the
