Editors’ Note We know we already had an entire edition dedicated to COVID-19, but we could not ignore the pandemic while choosing our theme for the senior edition. We wanted something that would shine some sort of positive light on the situation. Ultimately, we landed on The Beatles’ song, “Come Together.” We thought the tune was fitting because we think the Ladue community has strived for digital collaboration and support even when we cannot be together physically. We selected a bright yet warm color palette to bring a much-needed burst of color to the seniors’ eyes. senior edition may 2020

*The following are excerpts from Common Application essays
Taymae Mimouni Northwestern University
I
did not like barbies. Not because I wanted to stand out or be cool, I just would rather have played with dinosaurs. From a young age these leathery beasts intrigued me; they reminded me of dragons except they actually existed. Like the Pteranodon for example, a creature with a wingspan as wide as eighteen feet, three times the length of a full size bed (Cretaceous). Or the Stegosaurus, low to the ground but adorned with petal shaped spikes all along its spine (Jurassic). And, my all time favorite as a child, the Triceratops. Three horns (one above its beak, one above each eye), one beautiful frill, and as large as an African elephant (Jurassic). Whenever my birthday came along, I always wanted a new dinosaur, not dolls. My parents were fine with it; they didn’t see a problem with me not being girly. In fact they were ecstatic that their little girl was more interested in science than dressing up. Unfortunately, other girls weren’t okay with it. Whenever I went over to friends’ houses, all they had were dolls and makeup. I would suggest we play something else, but my ideas would be shot down because they were “boys’ games.” So I decided to be like them. I didn’t ask for dinosaurs anymore, I wanted dolls and a pink room with bright pink pillows and a zebra striped comforter. I wanted so badly to fit in. As I grew older, fitting in wasn’t only about boyish vs girly or dinosaurs vs barbies. It became more about vital parts of who I was, who I am, and less about trivial things such as being too boyish. Fitting in became more important than being myself.

umber four is only four years ahead of me. When we were younger we would play with our neighbors, with each other, and with our family. It was this relationship that really sparked my competitive spirit. However, up until recently, my drive to excel has not been as prominent as it is today. Eight years ago number four picked up the sport of rowing. An intense sport, but he excelled at it. So when I was in eighth grade, he suggested that I try out. I didn’t know it at the time but this would be one of the more influential suggestions given to me by one of my siblings. Rowing is such a rigorous sport that the fire my older brother had started originally sparked within me roared into an inferno. Rowing has become one of the most important things in my life today. Thanks to rowing, and my older brother, I have learned that I love to push myself to excel to my peak potential. To say that only one or two of my siblings has influenced my life is laughable. Rather, it’s the culmination of experiences like these that makes me the unique person I am today. Every single one of my siblings guides me to become the best person I can. There is no one person in my family, nor any one story that can describe the way that my family shaped me. For that I am thankful. I am thankful to have so many experiences with my family that drives me toward success. I am thankful that because of the environment I was raised in, I was given the opportunity to learn how to care for others, but also discover a passion for competition. I am thankful for my big family.

math teacher
What will you miss most about Ladue? All of the teachers, especially the ones I have had such great conversations with. I will miss those moments when students got a feeling of increased understanding, competence, and self-awareness and really started to know their own capability. What is something most people don’t know about you? My first certification was in English, not math. I really love literature, particularly poetry. What are your plans after retirement? When life lets us, my husband and I will be traveling a lot, especially to National Parks. I will also play a lot of pickleball, read and quilt. I’ll be tutoring as well.
What advice would you give to Ladue students? Stay well by washing your hands with soap and water, don’t touch your eyes, nose or mouth with unwashed hands, cover your cough or sneeze with your elbow, cover your face with some type of mask if you are unable to socially distance. What is something most people don’t know about you? I was the Occupational Nurse for NASA at Edwards Air Force Base in California when the Space Shuttle Discovery STS-51G had to divert. I was part of the post flight medical team that met the crew when they landed. What is one of your favorite memories from Ladue? Experiencing the old building and then the new construction and everything in between.

What advice would you give to Ladue students? My advice for these incredible students is to keep calm and carry on; ask for help when you feel overwhelmed. The Ladue Community is honored to have you among their circle where you are surrounded by caring folks who will help educate you offering the opportunity to open the door of your choice. Be respectful and grateful and share your joy. It’s ‘DUE time. What will you miss most about Ladue? I will miss the Ram students more than I can express here. I was fortunate to make special connections with those who transferred to Ladue during our enrollment experience. I appreciated their life stories: some were seemingly ordinary while others tugged at my heartstrings. Every one of us has a story with challenges but moving to a new high school from another city or country is an extraordinary experience that requires determination and support.

“Pursue your dreams and don’t be afraid to ask for help. Think about the legacy you want to leave behind and let that be your guiding principle through life. Slow down, be true to yourself and enjoy life!”
uti Upadhy r ay Sh
dnei Henry y S
“Get involved and be kind! Whether it is within your community at your college or [whether] you are staying in the area, invest a part of yourself into your community and try something new. You never know what friendships you will be creating, memories you will be making and what lessons you will be learning. Lastly, be remembered as someone who faces their challenges with kindness. Kindness is never wasted.”
“We can’t control our experiences, but we can control how we react to what happens. Have the mental strength to respond to circumstances with a growth mindset. We live in an interdependent world, so you must be able to build relationships, improve society and gain understanding of oneself by exposing yourself to people and ideas with varying backgrounds. Greater awareness builds empathy.”

ollowing graduation, senior Sadie Taxman will embark on a two semester gap year in Israel. While Taxman is utilizing her gap year as a break from school’s demanding repertoire, she will also take classes for college credit and recieve an introduction to the medical field. “For the first semester, I’ll be in Tel Aviv for an internship,” Taxman said. “Second semester, I’ll be shadowing Israeli EMT’s through a program called Magen David Adom.” Taxman’s fondness of working with kids has inspired her to study pediatrics at the University of Kansas following her gap year. “This past year, I worked at the Ladue Early Childhood Center and Ladue’s elementary school BASK program,” Taxman said. “I really enjoyed my time with the kids and medicine is really interesting to me, so I wanted to do something with kids while also helping people.”
anhattan’s 53rd street bustles with play-goers and theater lovers. Senior Julia Monsey aspires to be on the Broadway stage; she’ll be one step closer after graduating. “I will be attending a two-year program at Steps Conservatory in New York City,” Monsey said. “It’s seven to nine hours a day in the studio, working with industry professionals on performance technique.” Her journey began when she started dancing for the St. Louis Ballet Company at only age three. Monsey considers St. Louis Ballet her home and she credits her instructors for guiding her into the world of musical theater. While Monsey knows that there may be difficulties along the road, she has formulated a financial back up plan. “I foresee money as a potential issue because job security as a starting artist can be rough,” Monsey said. “I plan on getting pilates certification, since you can earn a pretty hefty amount as a pilates instructor.”

very year, the German Bundestag funds a program called The Congress-Bundestag Youth Exchange for Young Professionals, also known as CBYX. CBYX gives the chance for 75 young Americans to spend a year in Germany for academic and cultural purposes. For senior Matthew Shareshian, this means immersing himself in a new culture. “I’m excited to try new things like taking up a second language,” Shareshian said. “I didn’t take German in high school, so it’ll be something I pursue over the coming months and once I’m in Germany.” Having spent the past 12 years in school, Shareshian is eager to take time off before attending William’s College in fall of 2021. “A gap year is nice because I’m not sitting around being unproductive,” Shareshian said. “It’ll be a time where I don’t necessarily have obligations in the traditional sense, like school. It’ll be good to have some time but still stay productive.”

As the class of 2020 comes to an unexpected close, the Panorama seniors highlight memorable moments at Ladue High School
16
igh school can be a crazy experience. Throughout the last four years, there haven’t been many constants for the class of 2020. This was evident to all of us when the entire school around us changed between freshman and sophomore year. There have been gas leaks, intruder lockdowns and so much more. Throughout all of this, one thing remained constant in my mind: Panorama. It started my freshman year, when I was tasked with writing a news brief for the real Panorama only one month into my Journalism 1 class. Not only was it the worst article I have ever written, but it caused my mind to race between the two weeks when I turned it in and when it was printed. “Would people like it? What if I misspelled a word? Would people notice that I added a few words to a quote to make it sound better?” I thought to myself. When my article was printed and no one came up to me and told me it was the best article they had ever read, I was sad, but it made me want to do better. I learned a lot from that point to the start of my sophomore year. First off, I learned better ethics from the story of Stephen Glass, so adding a few words to a quote was far behind me. Next, our adviser, Sarah Semmel (some people call her Kirksey but that’s just a nickname) taught me everything I needed to know to become an editor for Panorama, for which I am forever grateful. Not only did being on Panorama let me meet some of my best friends, but I discovered my passion for journalism. It’s that passion that caused me to never stop thinking about Panorama, whether that meant convincing Coach Harder to let me leave eighth hour team sports and go to the Pub Lab where I would work on late pages, skipping classes to edit or furiously writing game notes about the state football game while the crowd erupted around me. Even now, while I should be relaxing and enjoying my corona-cation, I let the stress of Panorama wrap around my mind as we enter my final final production. But, you know something? I love it.

ou could say that I took a few shortcuts in the process of becoming an editor-in-chief of the Panorama — not taking Journalism II and being an editor without taking the Panorama class being the most drastic offenses. It’s probably better that the rules are stricter now; nevertheless, I wouldn’t change the path I took for anything else. In freshman year, I took Journalism I because it sounded more interesting than taking Airbrush (good job, ninth grade Katie). I actually found myself liking Journalism I, to my surprise, and I wanted to sign up for Journalism II as well. Alas, my grade-level counselor announced that freshman PE could not budge from my schedule. I still wanted to learn about design though, which was the basis of Journalism II, so I signed up for a 3-day design bootcamp over the summer. A few months later, I showed up to Room 216 with nothing but baseless confidence to ask if I could help the newspaper out. I had no idea at the time, but I had walked into “production week,” the week before the newspaper was sent off to be printed. It also happens to be the most stressful week in the production cycle. That’s probably the only reason why I was given random assignments to complete. My job for the first day was to complete an ad. I showed up the next day and was told to finish writing a story. The day after that, I designed an infographic. These were odd-and-end jobs that nobody else really wanted to do, but I took what I could get and worked my way up from there. Taking Journalism I, deciding to help the staff, becoming an editor — I’ll admit, all of those choices were based upon rather haphazard decisions by a naïve underclassman. If I were given the same opportunities now, I honestly don’t know if I’d take them. In hindsight, though, I don’t think I would ever want myself to choose differently. Panorama serves as a tribute to those rash decisions that I’m usually too cowardly to make. Sometimes, I guess you just have to grab onto an opportunity and hold onto it as tightly as you can. Who knows? You might become an editor-in-chief.
P
anorama changed considerably over the last four years. When the class of 2020 walked into Ms. Semmel’s (not yet Kirksey’s) room in 2016, it was a windowless yet cozy space. We created Panorama issues from there, the unair-conditioned and musky west gym balcony, a garage (seriously), Ladue Publications’ brand-new facility and then our homes. We also transitioned from newspaper to magazine — rough to glossy paper, boxed-in designs to explosions of color and “font salads” (don’t worry, we reeled that in this year). As juniors, our school distributed personal laptops with Adobe applications that made it possible to work from home, which was essential for the production of our COVID-19 issue. I cannot write about Panorama’s changes without acknowledging quality; the national recognitions speak for themselves. Together, we (with the help of our adviser) became one of the top high school publications in America. What I will take away from my time with Panorama is not what changed, but rather, what was constant: the fact that, despite our several “classrooms,” Panorama was never produced with an ounce of natural light (unless the garage was open, of course). Just kidding. It was the people; no matter the conditions of our workspace or paper, we were always together. What better way to know people than sifting through a collection of their toys together and arranging them in a massive rainbow gradient? Who could forget scavenging the cafeteria trash cans for specimens of food waste together or feeding the staff with the food from my page about plating arrangements? (There was plenty of handwashing involved in making the food issue.) I will remember the time spent together from eating way too many cookies to blowtorching Barbies to watching younger staff members grow as journalists and develop their skills far beyond my abilities at their age. I already miss contributing to the quote board, explaining my edits to stubborn editors and reminding juniors to feed our class fish of the month. Though I wish we could say goodbye in person, my memories of Panorama will last a lifetime.

ntering high school, I was far from someone who strived to achieve. I never played sports, never did extracurriculars and never had stellar grades. I dropped Advanced Biology after two days because the teacher described it as “a class to be taken seriously,” and I told myself I was only going to the Speech and Debate recruitment meeting for the Papa Johns afterword. Admittedly, I also never intended to be a part of journalism in high school. I had originally intended to take Ceramics. However, due to the renovation of our building, the ceramics room was not available for use. Deciding that creating pots on an iPad app was not my cup of tea, I went to my counselor to switch my preferred class. Without even knowing the Panorama existed, I ended up in Journalism I. Four years later, here I am. I partook in 23 debate tournaments, survived 20 journalism final production weeks and even managed to work a part-time job. Through this involvement, I came to realize that I am far more capable than I had ever believed. I grew to be an activist, a leader and in the least cliché way possible, the best version of myself. I always worried about what my last Pano article would look like. Knowing it would be my senior column, I felt that it needed to include something inspirational, and some groundbreaking advice. I’ve come to see that this expectation was inherently flawed. As I leave high school, I want my parting words to be entirely authentic to what I experienced. Here are my realest words of wisdom: -Your capabilities are only defined by you. -Don’t believe that you have to give every single activity 100 percent. Listen to your intuition when you feel you’re doing too much. -The waffle fries in the cafeteria are FIRE. -Join Panorama, you won’t regret it. At the end of the day, I am so grateful for everything I have experienced in journalism. To my Panorama family, and to our outstanding adviser Mrs. Kirksey, thank you from the bottom of my heart.

ooking back at my time at Ladue, I never really intended to become a newspaper kid. In my mind, I could only envision a student journalist as the cheesy side character in every 2000s movie with a giant camera slung around their neck. I still remember how I walked into the old cafeteria during my freshman year and was handed a giant set of papers: the Panorama Newspaper. It was gigantic and almost impossible to read on our crowded lunch tables. But after I finally flipped to the right page, the sprawling designs and intriguing stories always drew me in. Since that moment, my high school life has been practically defined by my time on the publications staff. From frantically putting together spreads alone on a Friday night, to finishing our very first arts and culture magazine, to playing with slime and eating candy during final production when we should have been finishing our pages — there has never been a dull moment in the journalism room. We traveled together, from Chicago to L.A., and went from writers to lead editors in what seemed like a blink of an eye. Although our final year has not been all that we hoped it would be, I am so thankful to have been able to spend it with our Panorama family. Being able to create intricate art, creative designs and work together as a group for a real purpose has given me a valuable glimpse into my future. Thank you Panorama staff for these amazing past three years and for all the unforgettable memories I will cherish forever as we say goodbye one final time.

wo years ago, I officially became a writer for Panorama, and since then it has been one of the most rewarding experiences of my high school career. Being a part of Panorama has taught me invaluable lessons that I could not have gotten anywhere else. For that, I am thankful, especially to Mrs. Kirksey for making Panorama a safe space for our staff to grow and learn with one another. At first I was skeptical of the many “ice-breakers” and “team-bonding” exercises we did in Pano, but I eventually warmed up to them. I also want to thank all of the teachers who have had a significant impact on my time in high school. After four years, I can honestly say that Ladue has some of the greatest, most genuine teachers. Although freshman year was my first year in the district, I have always felt welcomed and supported by the Ladue community. I will always be thankful for the unforgettable opportunities from the past four years. As I look back on my time in high school, I am most grateful for all of the friendships I have made since freshman year. Something I learned pretty early in high school is that you have to step out of your comfort zone. You probably won’t like it at first, but after you get comfortable with the uncomfortable, you might actually enjoy it. As a new staff member on Panorama, I was nervous that I would somehow mess up, but I kept trying, and in the end it paid off in the best way possible. While writing sories for Panorama, I realized that I have a passion for storytelling and hope to continue doing it past high school. Panorama has forever changed me, and that is not something I say lightly. Lastly, don’t take things too seriously. High school can be stressful, and the college/post-high school application process is even more overwhelming, but please remember to have fun and that everything usually works itself out. We are all worth more than a number on Infinite Campus. From production nights to journalism conferences, I will always remember the laughs and good times I had as a member of Panorama.

made it. At long last, my birth label has been engraved right above this sentence in the senior columns section, signifying the satisfying denouement of my resplendent epoch in Ladue. I’ll admit, my spread design seems a little cramped, my words teetering over the right edge of the page, but this is the culmination of my years on the newspaper staff and my overall growth in high school. In all honesty, though, it was definitely pretty rough for me, as it was for many other seniors before me. I’ve stumbled innumerable times, and at certain moments, I felt like the only thing I could do forever was to barely drag my unwilling body across the finish line and call it a day. To combat this gradual feeling of helplessness and complacency with mediocrity, I adopted a “can’t-say-no” mindset and took on more extracurriculars that conversely perpetuated my stress, and my work ethic continued to drop. The thread that prevented me from simply plummeting into my inner despair was the people whom I met in high school. Teachers, peers, upper and lowerclassmen — they all contributed in their own ways to basically tell me “It’s okay. Everything will be alright.” It’s a statement I’ve said to others but took it for granted myself. Only when the tests, college applications and activities were over did I realize how important it is to be aware of that. I own that statement more than ever now. It’s still a little jarring to be a senior now. I don’t feel like I’ve grown at all aside from adopting a more relaxed mindset totally not because of senioritis. I don’t think I’m in a position to give my juniors any advice that hasn’t been given already, so instead, I’ll just thank the heavens that the class of 2020 had two years where second semester grading was made easier. I intentionally write long-winded, complicated sentences not to be pretentious, but to express the boldness I have developed through high school. It’s also because I always have thoughts racing in my head, and no amount of writing can truly expresss how thankful I am to everyone at Ladue.

oing into freshman year, I was a short, eager, excited and nervous kid. I was looking toward the future with my eyes bright open, ready for new opportunities. I made sure to throw myself out there to try new things. I signed up for many clubs — not all of them sticking, though — and somehow managed to play three sports that year. I don’t think I could manage that now. Over the next three years, I endured a lot of what other high schoolers go through: losing friendships, getting a bad grade on a math test, staying up late studying and learning along the way. Now, I’m not going to say high school was the best three and three quarters years of my life, but I’ll definitely miss it. I’ll miss the people who I enjoyed talking to in class but wouldn’t necessarily hang out with outside of school. I’ll miss accomplishing something with a club I felt passionate about. Most of all, I’ll miss the feeling of being young and not having too many responsibilities. When it all comes down to it, some of my favorite moments are the cliché high school events that you watch in movies. Friday night lights in the new stadium were so memorable and special because it felt like we all came together as a class. Even the stupid homecoming dances that I always wanted to stay longer at to savor the little moments were some of the best nights. Now that I’m stuck at home, I’ve learned to not take things for granted. Sometimes I would sit at school and want to go home, but now that I’m not there, I wanna go back more than ever. I’ve learned so much about myself through others I’ve met at school. I would even say they were transformative years for me. I have been going to Ladue since I was in preschool, so it’s even harder to leave something that I spent a good portion of my life at. I can’t deny that I’m super excited for college, but I can confidently say that my high school experiences have changed who I am today as a person. I would tell my 14-year-old self to enjoy it all and that it will be all ok. Even when it seems like it never will work out, it will.
