The appeal was taken from this writing. There is no other entry in the record which purports to be a judgment or other final determination of the trial court. For an entry to be a judgment under Rule 74.01(a), it must be denominated as a judgment, although not necessarily at the top of the writing. Brooks v. Director of Revenue, 954 S.W.2d 715 (Mo.App.1997). See also City of [135]*135St. Louis v. Hughes, 950 S.W.2d 850 (Mo. banc 1997).
