   Ladue High School administrators are hoping to start a new graduation tradition this year, one that doesn't include the notorious "Senior list."  The list is an annual prank in which a list is published that makes sexually derogatory comments about several junior or senior girls.  

   The school made national headlines in 2012 when a parent filed a civil rights complaint over the list.  That prompted a federal investigation.  

   Since then school officials have waged an aggressive anti-bullying, anti-sexual harassment campaign.  The St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports that they've also warned students of severe consequences for anyone who puts out such a list.  Anyone involved in making a list face suspensions, and seniors won't be allowed to participate in graduation.  

   Martin Luther King Jr. was shot and killed by James Earl Ray at the Lorraine Motel in Memphis, Tenn., 45 years ago, on April 4, 1968.

   His death shocked a country rocked by riots, civil discord, and a controversial war.  It sparked nationwide protests, a two-month manhunt and an outpouring of grief for the slain civil rights leader who continues to stand for equal rights, peaceful protests and justice for all.
