Betty Gema, a junior, and a leading member of Ladue’s Feminist Coalition, discusses the state of the club as the year comes to an end. “FemCo is having an end of year party to celebrate our members and our accomplishments throughout the year. We want to end the year on a great note, as we have worked on many awesome discussions and fundraisers this year. We are in the process of wrapping up the year where our leadership will be seniors, and we scout for people to continue this legacy as we leave.”

Ella Marks, a junior, and passionate member of UNICEF Ladue, shares her fond memories of the club’s conclusion this school year. “So we had a really fun nal meeting that had a lot of food. We did a presentation, and all the seniors got to say goodbye. We all cheered for them, and we’ll miss them very much. It was really more of a celebration of everything we had done this year.”

Francesca Bochicchio, a junior, and longtime member of Ladue’s Mock Trial, discusses how the club came to a close this year. “This year we ended with regionals, which is not typical, but I think it was really good and important for the newbies, because we had a lot of new people this year. I think that they denitely learned a lot, because they were exposed to the courtroom earlier than usual because we didn’t have a lot of veterans on the team this year.”

Will Feng, a junior, and member of Ladue’s DECA, recounts some of the clubs nal gatherings of the 20233-2023 school year. “We just celebrated all our seniors, and then celebrated all the winners who had won international placement for the international competition [on] the bus ride back from Kansas City.”

Mimi Zhou, a junior, and avid member of Ladue’s debate team, The Talking Rams, dishes on the long-standing rivalry between Ladue and Clayton. “To celebrate the debate season, we did a kickball game against Clayton. So we played against them in our friendly little competition.”
