Editors’ Note
Well, we’re back. After concerts, cicadas and sweat, the 2024-25 school year is officially in session.
Over the summer, Ladue Publications staff members created a pocket-sized Panorama, hoping to inform on important information and helpful hints for the upcoming school year. In this issue, we break down the schedule and map of Ladue High School and get tips from upperclassmen on how to navigate a successful academic year. Elsewhere, we shine a light on upand-coming clubs and teachers we’re welcoming to the building. In health & sports, we explore sports rivalries anticipated for the year.
Ladue Publications also published a crossword! Complete the puzzle to enter in a raffle for a Ram Shack sweatshirt. At the end of this issue, we explain Ladue Publications’ installments.
Panorama, our newsmagazine, provides coverage through features, in-depth, health & sports and other sections. The Panorama publishes each month and runs in conjunction with laduepublications.com, which is updated daily.
ID, a Ladue Publications magazine, covers individual identity in regards to backgrounds or passions. Featuring a trademark black-and-white design, ID publishes two issues each year, one in the fall and one in the spring.
Finally, Melodrama, Ladue Publications’ literary magazine, highlights art, writing, music, video and other artistic outlets from student submissions. The publication is released every spring. Be on the lookout for submission information in the coming weeks.
Please reach out to Ladue Publications with any questions and follow us at @ladue.publications. We’ll be in room 1311 and would love to find new ways to support the Ladue community.
And, on behalf of Ladue Publications, have an incredible school year!

Back to Business
Ladue Ram Shack plans ahead for the 2024-25 school year
By Arti Jain
Nestled within the multipurpose room sits Ladue High School’s Ram Shack: a student-run business selling everything from spirit wear to stickers and gum.
Ram Shack employees have already started planning for the 202425 school year. Student leader Madison Stockwell (11) said the group starts with setting team goals.
“We’re hoping to continue being a fun class, but also productive,” Stockwell said. “We’ve come up with some ideas to implement in the next year, but we’ll still plan at the beginning of the next year, just because it’s a new class and new people.”
One of these products is a Welcome Box, which includes Ladue-themed shirts, writing utensils and stickers. The box is $35 and will be delivered to students in their seminar classes within the first two weeks of school. Other products are
released throughout the school year, with some being created by students through sweatshirt design contests.
The Ram Shack is student-run, but employees receive help from their business teachers and advisers, Jessica Kennedy and Allen Stringer.
“It’s super helpful because they know what they are talking about, and it’s great to learn from their experience and their advice,” Stockwell said. “But then, it’s also good to experience stuff that we can learn in the future.”
Aneesh Patil (12) worked with Stockwell on inventory staff during the 2023-24 school year. He said that the Ram Shack improved both his communication and teamwork skills.
“It’s the best thing for students our age to really understand everything about a business without having to deal with the main responsibilities: having to pay this bill, or that bill, or anything like that,” Patil said. “You just get to live a fun kind of life while also being in school.”

Finance Club
Finance Club was established in 2014 and the leadership has been passed down to Garon Agrawal (12) and Matteo Seifarth (12). The club meets monthly and members engage in various activities to increase their understanding of the world of finance and investment. Often, guest speakers are brought in to speak about their personal finance ventures and investment fund groups come as well. The club also takes trips to the federal reserve. Aside from the guest speakers, their most popular activity is the stock market game, a simulated version of the global real-time stock market.
“Each person gets $100,000 to invest in the stock market and we chart throughout the year how your stocks are doing,” social studies teacher and club sponsor Conner Katsev said.
Not only is the game an engaging event for students, it also promotes financial literacy. Moreover, Agrawal and Seifarth have already planned to have guest speakers present and educate members.
“When I took over the club, I really wanted to host more guest speakers and show our members different paths they could take in finance,” Agrawal said.
Club Quest
Asian
ACulture and Advocacy Group
sian Culture and Advocacy Group (ACAG) promotes Asian American and Pacific Islander (AAPI) culture among Ladue students, providing a place for them to share experiences and connect with each other. The club was established during the COVID-19 pandemic to address discrimination against AAPI students. Since then, it has extended to celebrate a variety of cultural aspects.
“We have snacks and play games,” social studies teacher and club sponsor Stephanie Bellville said. “We also plan for events such as Lunar New Year, AAPI Heritage Month and fundraisers like the Boba fundraiser that we did late [last] year for Save the Children.”
Bellville began to sponsor the club in 2020 when she was approached by her students. Their first meeting took place in person the following year. Sara Rohatgi (12) and Sancho Gatungay (12) will be student leaders for the 2024-25 school year, enhancing the club experience for all students.
“[ACAG] is a place for AAPI students and allies to gather and enjoy time together, as well as share what is on their mind regarding any issues or pursuits that are important to them,” Bellville said.

Mortimer
ne new teacher joining Ladue High School’s staff this year is Jace Mortimer. He will coach football and teach Advertising, Social Media Marketing and Investments and Securities.
“I’ve always enjoyed learning about entrepreneurship and how businesses operate,” Mortimer said. “I’ve had a passion for investing since high school when I took a personal finance class, and Marketing has been one of my favorite classes to teach in my career.”
Danielle Moushey is one of the new teachers joining Ladue High School’s staff this year. She comes to Ladue from the Bayless School District to gain more leadership opportunities. She will teach Geometry and Algebra II.
“I love teaching math because it’s more than just following the rules,” Moushey said. “I get to help teach my students how to use what they know to solve new problems. I know a lot of people dislike math, and I like to try to make it more interesting and show
Mortimer comes to Ladue from Austin, Texas. However, he grew up near St. Louis and went to Southeast Missouri State University and Illinois State University. He has been a high school teacher since 2019.
“The reason I chose teaching as a career in the first place was to mentor our young people and be a positive influence in their lives,” Mortimer said. “I have been fortunate enough to combine multiple interests and passions in my career.”
Mortimer learned about Ladue from his sister who works at Conway Elementary School.
“What an awesome opportunity to teach at the No. 1 school district in Missouri,” Mortimer said.

Moushey holds a bachelor’s degree from the University of Missouri St. Louis and a master’s degree from the University of Central Missouri.
“I actually planned to get a certificate in math and English when I went to college,” Moushey said. “I quickly learned I only wanted to do the literature side of English and that is not really an option. So, I focused on math and now I just read a lot of books.”
In addition to teaching, Moushey will be the assistant Quiz Bowl coach.
“I got involved in Quiz Bowl at my last school [when] they needed someone to help moderate,” Moushey said. “I volunteered and I loved it.” P

School nurse Nikki Harrison gives advice on how to stay healthy during the school year

ACHOO! Sneezes, sniffles and coughs echo through crowded hallways. People swiftly move, trying to dodge the illnesses that surround them while also getting to class. At last, they arrive, thinking that they are finally safe, but hopes come crashing down as the door opens to reveal a class of ill students. As the class sits miserably, attempting to avoid catching a virus from their peers, a thought is shared throughout the room: if only people
Health Hacks
would take better measures to stay healthy during school.
Staying healthy during school may sound self-explanatory, but there is more to it than most people think. School nurse Nikki Harrison agrees, and believes that students should focus on all aspects of health, especially the most basic ones.
“I think nutrition and sleep go hand in hand,” Harrison said. “No one [getting] enough sleep is something that [I have] definitely noticed in the teenage years. [Also], eating a healthy diet, [exercising] and taking care of your mental health [is important].”
Harrison takes similar precautions to stay healthy during the school year, but is affected by many behaviors that students also exhibit.
“I try to eat a healthy diet, get enough sleep, exercise [and] drink enough water,” Harrison said. “I do all the things that I know are the right thing to do, but sometimes I fall short, and I can tell because stress and not getting enough sleep oftentimes lead to me not physically feeling well.”

Raging Rivalries
Ladue athletes prepare for fall sport rivalries
By Fiona Van Allen
Each season presents new players at Ladue High School as well as new players from existing rivals. This provides ample opportunity for athletes to show off their skills. Rivalries are a way for students to join in a collective spirit of competition in hopes of seeing their team triumph.
This year, varsity football anticipates competition from Lindbergh High School as well as Parkway West High School. Grisham Ravindranath (12), varsity football kicker, believes their main rival will be Kirkwood High School, who they face Oct. 17.
“We are pretty close [in skill],” Ravindranath said. “The teams that give us a challenge and give us a good game, those I would say are good rivalries.”
Gabby Clinkscale (12), a member of the girls varsity volleyball team, expects competition from Clayton High School, who they play Sept. 16.
“I think everyone always plays their best against [Clayton High School],” Clinkscale said. “It’s all mental and willpower.”
Rivalries build morale within teams and schools and create exciting games that encourage students and staff to go all out.
“The atmospheres were amazing,” Ravindranath said. “Just playing in that stadium for my school was such an experience and the crowd was amazing.”
In most sports, physical preparation is necessary to make sure athletes are ready to face rivals. In girls varsity tennis, this often includes different forms of practice to improve specific skills.
“We might do an extra practice or focus more on match play,” Angela Chen (11) said.
When facing rivals, mental preparation is also key to ensuring athletes are performing at their best.
“We tend to lock in more knowing that it all comes down to each point,” Ravindranath said. “We know we get bragging rights if we win.”
Although each game in a season is unique, rival games particularly stand out to players and spectators.
“The difference for me with playing a rivalry game versus a regular team is that it’s all emotion and mentality,” Clinkscale said.
A
rivalry in sports is a team or player that you go up against and you play with pure emotion and will to win.”

About Panorama
By Emily Liu & Lathan Levy
Panorama might be something students only think about once a month when a group of people toss a handful of magazines down at the lunch tables. While this is true, Panorama is much more than that. The Panorama newsmagazine is a student-run publication that seeks to provide entertaining, educational and timely content, highlighting important issues and events pertaining to the community. Panorama hopes to inspire and inform its readers.
Pano Pick Up
The magazine is divided into six different sections: news, health & sports, opinions, features, in-depth and arts & entertainment.
Additional content includes pages dedicated to an infographic and photo spread. Stories have ranged anywhere from Justin Espinosa’s shoe collection to transgender laws in Missouri.
In addition to releasing regular monthly magazines, we create two speciality issues per year that focus on a central topic. Previous themes include The Food Issue, The Sports Issue and The Teen Issue.
As a publication, we highly value the opinions of our student body. We will periodically send out optional surveys during the year to collect content and statistics for our publication.
The Panorama staff has recieved national recognition at the individual and publication level. However, we strive to maintain our high standards and hope you continue (or begin) to explore our newsmagazine. We look forward to sharing more stories and diverse perspectives this year.

By Ella Braig
With its first issue having been released in winter of 2023, ID is the latest installment in Ladue Publications. While it is similar to Panorama in the sense that it is for, about and created by students, the specialty magazine is instead focused on highlighting individual identities within the wider school community.
Within ID, readers will find a variety of feature stories exploring identity including race, religion, gender, background or passion, among other

identity markers. Through its collection of profiles, ID aims to promote an understanding of faculty and students that goes beyond simple, surface-level observations.
“Who are we?” These three words that grace the back cover of ID’s inaugural spring issue serve as the guiding question for the many editions to come. This year, ID is thrilled to continue to provide the Ladue community with stories that pinpoint our fascinating staff and students.
ID publishes two issues a year: one in fall and one in spring. At the 2024 National Journalism Convention, ID’s debut issue won First Place Best of Show and an Innovation Pacemaker Award. Additionally, many individual stories have been nationally recognized for their excellence in writing and design, including “Step by Step,” “Turn Up the Heat” and “Crescendo,” which are all Best of SNO Award recipients. To get involved in ID, students and faculty are encouraged to fill out monthly surveys and to suggest people whom they’d be interested in reading a story about.

About Melodrama
Melodrama publishes student artwork and encourages creative expression
By Arti Jain & Emily Liu
Melodrama is an annually published literary arts magazine that showcases the creative work of Ladue High School’s student body. It represents an anthology of art, writing, video and other artistic outlets. Rooted in a belief in the power of art to refine identity and find community, Melodrama has released five volumes.
Each volume’s creation begins in September with a selection process
Gallery Tour
helmed by Ladue Publications staff members. Melodrama accepts a variety of mediums and has recently published everything from recorded songs to play scripts.
Melodrama is also themed along a central idea that represents the pieces within it to deliver a seamless reading experience. Previous themes include “Identity,” “Perspectives” and “Nychthemeron” (day and night). In the most recent iteration, Melodrama explored the experience of sinking into a daydream, or “Reverie,” through sections dubbed “submerge,” “enchant,” “transcend” and “escape.” In that issue, Melodrama changed its page dimensions from horizontal to vertical to be reminiscent of a storybook and created collages made of the submitted work to represent each section.
Throughout its metamorphosis, one constant remains: Melodrama strives to provide an outlet for creative endeavors and to share the artistic talent of each of its contributors with the wider community.
