Hend- ricks, principal of Kirkwood High School, in appreciation of his guidance and advice for two memorable years. We have gained a guide possessing an unusual degree of sincerity and friendliness which is so much desired in an administrative position. We find in Mr. Hendricks Wholehearted devo- tion to the profession of teachingg indepen- dence in thought and action, intense inter- est and sincere convictions in reference to vital school problems, which make for the high standards and the efficiency main- tained by the Whole school.

The considerate and capable guidance of Mr. Tillman and Mr. Hendricks is a reflec- tion in the progress oi Kirkwood High. We, the seniors of 1944, are highly appree ciative ot the generosity in service, the kind- Page Six ness in all relationships with students and teachers, and the cooperation which the administration contributed toward rnoking our high school days a pleasant and profit- able experience. .gjfuclenf .xdcfiuify The many years of service that Mr. Wright has contributed to K. H. S. have proved him a Wise counselor, guide, and friend to all. He remembers with personal interest and attention every student with Whom he has associated. In spite of the importance and responsi- bility accompanying the office of assist- ant principal, Mr. Wright has not al- lowed this to interfere with his friendly manner and ready sense of humor. Credit must also be given to those who lighten the burden of the office Work. They are always prompt and courteous to everyone. Excuses, er- Mr. Ft. L. Wright, Assistant Principal, Mrs. E. Broderick, Rose Haag. rands, letters, records, telephone calls, and high finance, all are problems met by the capable office workers. Mr. F. W. Hendricks, Principal, Miss Sue Woodley, Mr. Koerber.

The students of Kirkwood High owe to the faculty the deepest appreciation tor the high type ot instruction, training, and inspiration oiiered in the Kirkwood schools. Theirs is a great responsibility and they capably direct all our activities with under- standing and guidance so that we rnay become increasingly self-reliant and seli-directing mem- bers in a social group. The tact that Kirkwood is recognized as one oi the rnost outstanding schools in Missouri results from the skill, ability, and noble effort that each oi the members of our faculty exer- cises daily in the varied program oi curricular and extra curricular activities.

The high expectations of Coach Lyons Pio- neers wore almost fulfilled with a thrilling season. ln the first game of the season the K. H. S. gridiron men left the Clayton Greyhounds gasp- ing with a l3-U defeat. The following week Country Day gave the Pioneers a scare in the final half with a 76 scoring march. Then Kirk- wood tightened and Christrnann gave us a 73 yard touchdown sprint with a victory of I3-6. The toughest opposition of the early sea- son came from the Normandy Vikings with a tie of 7-7. Brrr, what a night! What a line! Burley and Means blocked the punts that led to touchdowns and a l4-6 victory over St. Charles. Mundwhiler and Co. weren't to be denied their hard earned victory in the Maple- wood downfall of l9-l3. Then the pure, smash- ing power left the lrtitenour Huskies shuddering as Kirkwood rolled up 26 points to the oppos- ing l3. W'ellston's surprising upset left the over- confident Pioneer eleven on the back end of a 7-O defeat. Kirkwood then bowed stubbornly to the U. City lndians, 27-l2, but after a bitter fight the Pioneers were assured a moral victory. Turkey Day! Turkey Day! Means only one thing to the K. H. S. football fans.

The C team, which smothered all five op- ponents for an undefeated season, displayed great promise for future varsity elevens. Both teams showed the fight and determina- tion which characterizes all Pioneer teams and with the continuation of this spirit the future of athletics at K. H.

The cagers were runnerfups in the Nor- mandy tournament and were de- teated in the third round of the sate sub-regional. Forward Iohnny Heimburgefs ability to hit the bucket from any place on the court was cne ot the team's assets and placed him on most ot the all-district te-ams and gave him a berth on the sulsurban squad.

Forward Skip Schrader's sharpshooting and ball-handling, Ed Hartrnann's tight defensive game and all-around heads-up basketball, and Center Dick Clinite's rebounds and set-ups, characterized the team play and netted for them honorable mention on the all-district and berths on the all-suburban teams. After graduation Don Redman and Logan Young took over the guard posts with Christmann moving to center. Don's unquenchable iight and hot flashes, and Lou's de- fensive game and ball-snatching ability filled these voids excellently. Ronnie Lowe, a newcomer from Ohio, was a welcome sub and proved himself worthy with his speed on the floor. The climax ot the season was the tie with Clayton for the Suburban League Championship.

The B team is taught the same plays as the A teain and much tiine will be saved in early training. A teani's record is not always the measure of a teani's capability. The boys had the Kirk- wood tighting spirit and will to win but it seems that Lady Luck was against them. Next J season we should keep our eyes on Ray Schulte and Ken Uifman, the teain's outstand- ing players ot this past season. Through experi- ences received while playing on the B team this year they should be able to uphold the standards set by this year's Suburban Champs. Now turning our attention to Kirkwood's C team cagers, we tind that their record was also not up to expectations. They played six games and came out on the short end in all games.

We have a definite reason to be proud of our music. The K. H. S. band won a first rating at the state contest in 1941, and a certificate of merit from the University City regional music festival in 1941, 1942, and 1943. From all indications we believe that they will receive another certificate this year. This is truly a fine record. When we hear the band playing we enjoy their music, but few people realize the amount of practice necessary to perfect a part. But even if each player knows his music thoroughly, the most difficult job remains for the director. lt is his talent which makes the concert a success. He must take each part and fit it into the perfect whole. Of course, each person must know his music, but without a capable leader, their music might not be so pleasant. lt is certain that the band owes much of its reputation for excellency to the skill of its director, Mr. Burton 1-1. lsaac. Through his patience and efforts, he has made it a superior organization. The band not only plays well, it marches well, too. The sight of our red and white uniforms marching down the football field seems to raise our morale. 'We have many reasons to be proud of our band! Page Fifty-tour aI'l'l'l0l'ly GHC! pl'2CL5LOI'l We are proud of our orchestra, too! Under the capable leadership of its director, Burton H. Isaac, it has developed into one of the most outstanding musical organizations of the school. Its versatility is marked by a wide reper- toire. Yes, the orchestra plays everything from the long-haired classical, Second Symphony by Haydn, to Morton Gould's popular arrangements and lazz Pizzicato. ln an assembly the students cheered for an encore of Mardi Gras, and at a concert, the audience was highly entertained with Slavonic Rhapsody and Orpheus in the Underworld. The orchestra has gradually come into the spotlight. From year to year it has grown from a small struggling group of interested musicians to a harmoniz- ing group of seventy. The credit for this development goes to the director. However, the members work hard, too. Behind the scene is much practice, plenty of worry over tryouts, and many long rehearsals. ln spite of all this, each member agrees that he has derived unlimited pleasure from his experi- ence. The orchestra has also made a name for itself. The orchestra and the band received first rating in the state contest. Then last year, when the state contest was discontinued, the orchestra entered the all-county music festival and was given a certificate of merit. The members of both the orchestra and the band have been given uniform sweaters to wear at their performances. The orchestra plays for the graduations and many of the assemblies besides giving several concerts of its own each year, and participating in the all-county festival.

All the senior members were eligible for the presi- dency and the results of this second election showed Dick Clinite as President and Don Redman Vice-President. Marian Protte was elected Secretary-Treas- urer. The first semester the council had charge of the pep rally before the 'Webster game. lt also took care of our service flag. ln the beginning of the second semester the council gave an assembly in which all the candidates for presidency gave campaign speeches. The elec- tion was held with the registering of all those who wished to votey therefore it was an excellent lesson in democratic procedure. The first council members stayed in office and two representatives from the lUB class were elected. Don Redman was elected President and Ted Taylor Vice-President. The new Secre- tary-Treasurer was Dorothea Davidson. Following the election, the council undertook a study for the improvement of our cafeteria, sponsoring our annual carnival, and other problems suggested by the student body. The aims of the council are to promote school spirit, better scholastic achievement, understanding between faculty and students, and more coopera- tion among students. It represents every class in the high school and was quite active this year in carrying out these ideals. emion n olgaclerrizla The National Honor Society of Secondary Schools was founded by the National Association ot Secondary-School Principals in l92l. Since that time, secondary school administrators throughout the United States have approved its objectives and have set up more than twenty-seven hundred local chap- ters in their schools. This movement was originally established to stimulate the scholarship, leadership, service, and character of the students in the secondary schools ot this country. lts remote objective has become that oi raising the secondary schools to a higher plane. The members ot the Kirkwood chapter are keeping up the records ot the boys in the service for the school honor roll and service flag. They also made some records for the city honor roll. The Honor Society also sells the unclaimed articles in the school lost and found. lt is more or less a social organization, holding bi-weekly meetings. The social gathering is held at the home oi one ot the members and the business meeting is held at the school. Candidates tor membership are chosen twice a year by a special board of teachers. The members must be in llA, l2B, or l2A classes and in the upper third of the class. The object oi the Keystone Chapter is to create an enthusiasm for scholarship, to stimulate a desire to render service, to promote worthy leadership, and encourage the development of character.

One of the memorable activities of the Hi-Y is giving school dances which are always extremely popular. The organization also helps to cement relations with other schools by having joint games, meetings and other events. Running the parking lot, helping in benefit dances, and making themselves generally useful, characterizes the Hi-Y as a service organization.

This was the fourth annual Friendship Dance presented by the Webster and Kirkwood Hi-Y's. After our Turkey Day contest was settled, the rivals decided to be friendly toward one another, bury the hatchet and have some real fun. Perhaps that is why the dance floor was so jam-packed, and the coke bottles were so speedily emptied. As for the decorations, Webster and Kirkwood finally got together, and not wishing to offend any- one, decorated in orange and black, and red and white. The memorable spot of the evening was, of course, the coronation of the Queens: Maxine Cooper of Kirkwood, and Ruth Richardson of Webster Groves, by Henry Christmann and Bob Watkins.

Under the capable direction of Mrs. Steinkamp the play-reading committee chose a comedy by Caroline Francke, The Fighting Littles , an adaptation from the story by Booth Tarkington. The people in the play are very human and the story centers itself around the misunderstandings of two generations. Mr. Little has his own idea as to the way of life his family should lead, and Mrs. Little is busy trying to keep peace. Then there is Goody, who tries to follow father's advice, and Filmer who can't stay out of trouble. Through three acts, the Littles squabble through their differences and finally emerge a really united family. The cast was as follows: ALMATINA , .....,.. ....... .
