Perpetrators resort to leaving list in editors mailbox to get the word out!
Talk about an act of desperation? The Ladue “Senior List” got out again, and hardly anyone noticed. That's that smutty, hateful stuff juniors write about popular senior girls then distribute under the cover of darkness. I thought I had the hottest of hot news. I thought the list had just gotten out again. I called Ladue PR maven Susan Dielmann who broke my heart by telling me I was relaying some really old news. That’s what you get for being late to the rodeo. I checked some high school sources and one said: “I think I heard something about the list, but I never, ever even saw one.” What a bust. So, in an act of sheer desperation, the marauders dropped a copy in my mailbox. Trust me, Ladue students know where I live in Olivette. This is …

Patch Editor will be roving about the graduation reception to get your best memories; you future plans. Tell us first on Patch.
Maybe, if the Weather Gods cooperate, Ladue will have its first outdoor graduation ceremonies in years. Seems a threat of rain has pushed this event indoors the last several years. This Patch Editor (Jim Baer) will be out and about, asking the freshly-minted graduates to briefly and quickly share their favorite thoughts on video. It could be as simple as what you liked best about Ladue High, or what you plan to do with the rest of your life. Are you going to be the greatest chemist of all time? or a professional athlete? or a lifeguard on Waikiki Beach? Or something else? We are looking for 30 second video statements to share all week on both the Ladue-Frontenac and Olivette Patches. So enjoy the moment, share your thoughts and we shall …

Information was provided by the communications department at Webster University. Hate is a deep dislike or resentment that may involve cruelty and violence. A braker is someone who halts, slows or restrains. A “HateBraker” is someone who hits the brakes on hate.

From bullying victims to those who have witnessed violence in their communities and their homes, HateBrakers from around the St. Louis community are being honored for taking painful experiences and turning them into something educational and inspirational. The First HateBrakers Awards Ceremony will take place at the Frontenac Hilton at 7 p.m. on May 20. The awards will honor…

Will compete in Manchester England this coming July.
Information in this report was incorrect. The North American Computational Linguistics Olympiad (NACLO) partially determines qualification to the International Linguistics Olympiad (IOL), rather than the IMO. So the title should read "Linguistics" rather than "Math". The other key misinformation is the "[belief] to be the first in the history ...": Jason Wu earned a silver medal at the International Biology Olympiad (IBO) in 2006. Jason also graduated from Ladue. The Ladue-Frontenac Patch regrets the errors. Information was provided by the communications department of the Ladue School District. Max Schindler a senior at Ladue High School placed third, out of all students in the United States, in the North American Computational …

Perfect day for racing for Zeke Elliott, Burroughs; Madison Barker & Colin Cernik, Ladue.
Some 39 teams and about 1,000 athletes took part in the annual Brusca-Strobach track meet, held on the artificial surface at Ladue Horton Watkins High School Saturday. Skies were crystal clear and it was a little windy, but conditions were perfect for runners with temperatures in the mid 50s. Some of the Patch area athletes had what could be described as a breakout weekend. Lot's more photos on the Ladue-Frontenac Facebook page. Here’s how some of the stars did yesterday: Ezekiel Elliott, John Burroughs Before heading off to football at Ohio State, Elliott has some unfinished business on the local tracks. He skipped the Kansas Relays to participate in the conference meet Friday night at Lutheran South and the Brusca/Strobach meet Saturday…

Host Rams are looking for some warmer weather and clear skies and a day of great competition.
For those who love track and field, it doesn't get any better than the Brusca/Strobach meet at Ladue Horton Watkins High School Saturday. This has grown into one of the premier meets of the spring season. The weather can be downright iffy. A couple of years ago, organizer and Ladue head track coach Keith Harder had to send everyone home because of a total rainout. "This has been the worst weather season I can remember," said Harder, keeping his pulse on the long-range forecast. This will be a real treat. A late entrant are the boys of John Buroughs. Ezekiel Elliott has pulled out of the Kansas Relays to run at home. He will be favorite in the sprints and hurdles and recently became a high jumper. This is the website for TRXC Timing, …
