The 1957 Millernien earned a 16-10 record durinq a very hard fought season. They started all slowly with two wins out of the tirst eight qariies. These two Pioneer victims were Cleve land and DuBourq. Later in the season the Mil- lerriien bounced back to win their next nine out of eleven aanies. In the Webster Tourna- ment unseeded Kirkwood upset top-ranked Webster to aain the finals only to be beaten by University City in the last three minutes 44-37 to secure second place. To climax the season the Pioneers won their reqional by defeating Lindbergh, Attton, and Sullivan by larqe scores.

Bob Silver, who strengthened the team enormously by tak- ing the high jump, the discus and broad jump, will be hard to replace in this year's team. The mile relay team placed Iitth in the State Indoor and third in the Cutdoor. They also won this event at the District Meet, U. City Invitational, Clayton Invitational, and at all other dual meets. Kent Qverbey, who took fifth in the mile at State Cutdoor and who won the Bushy- head Trophy at the University City Invitational will be ditiicult to duplicate this year. Kent showed his remarkable endurance by winning both the mile run and the halt mile in one day at the Clayton Invitational Meet. Other out' standing members ot last years team were Bill Elliott and Paul lchnson, hurdlersp and I-Iarrison Trask, a sprinter. The Kirkwood Pioneers start- ed out their l956 track season by winning over East St. Louis IIQ to IOZ. The Iirst big meet the Pioneers competed in was the Clayton Invita- tional. In this meet Kirkwood really showed its strength by taking seven tirst places and two seconds to dethrone U. City as a Clayton In- vitational track champion. The next big annual meet was the U. City Invitational. This was the second time in nineteen years that Kirkwood had won over U. City. Bob Silver was the big gun ot the meet as he took three tirst places in the high jump, broad jump, and discus. Kirk- wood also took first place in the mile run, the 880, and the mile relay, and then participated in two other large meets in which they were very successful. These included the Maple- wood Relays and the State Outdoor. The sea- son ended with the Pioneers victorious in dual meets with Normandy, Webster, St. Louis U. I-Iigh, and East St. Louis.

During the past twenty three years, Kirkwood's cindermen un- der Coach Emil Wiggins have established an excellent record by winning either first, sec- ond, or third place in the State Track Meets eight times. This year's track team will have the advantage of a new quarter mile track which includes a two hundred and twenty yard straightaway, upon which the Pioneers will attempt to uphold the fine record set by their predecessors by competing in dual meets with East St. Louis, University City, Webster and Normandy. The-y will also participate in larg- er meets, such as the Clayton Invitational, the University City Invitational, the Maplewood Re- lays, District, and both the State Indoor and Outdoor. This year's team will have to have Paul Henley Bruce Calder that extra spark to make up for all the letter- men that graduated from last year's team. Among the returning lettermen for this year are: Bruce Calder, Paul Marting, Larry Yan- dell, Bill Theriot, Allen Ernest, Frank McDougal, Norman Bowman, Levi Brady, Bryan Water- man, and Monk Mann. The junior team should do equally as well this year as there will be many boys with several year's experience. Some of the standouts from last year are: Dave Theriot, running the hurdlesp Kent Blackwell in the half mile, Bob Weber and Dick Mueller in discus and shot. These boys and many others are expected to give an outstanding perform- ance during the coming season. The junior cindermen will compete in dual meets with East St. Louis, Webster Groves, Normandy, Uni- versity City, and St. Louis U. High. Those who show great promise will later participate at the State Indoor, U. City Invitational, Clayton In- vitational, District, and State Outdoor meets.

Home tin Kirkwood, Were tor Yau! B FOOTBALL The B football team. under the new leadership of Coach Stocker had a fine season this year winning three out of its five league games. The sophomores commenced the season by winning their first two games with Bitenour and Univer- sity City by one point each, l3 to 12 and 19 to 18 respectively. The team also beat Ferguson 20 to 6 to win their third game of the season. The only defeats that the Pioneers suffered were from Normandy and Webster, the two strongest teams in the league. High scores of the season were Childs, Blackwell, and Wainwright. Page Eighty B BASKETBALL The team, under the able guidance of Coach Clodfelter, has improved tremendously since last year. For the first time in the history of Kirkwood, the B team played ho-st to the other teams of the Suburban League by hold- ing a tournament. Although the boys didn't come out on top, they tried hard and made a good showing by knocking first seeded Webster out of the tournament. They then lost to Nor- mandy to take third place. The big guns in scoring were Theriot and Schmidt aided by the fine ball handling of Powell and Steele. This year's tennis team promises to be one of the finest that Kirkwood has had for many years. Out of the seven letterinen oi last year, six are re- turning this spring. These include Ian Coester, Don Harris, Tom Moller, Scott Pratt, lim Hodge, and Del Campbell. Last year's team had a line record win- ning second place honors in the Surburban League with a record of tive wins and two losses. The Pioneers were victorious over Webster, Clayton, Normandy, Maplewood, and Brentwood, but were de- feated by University City and Ladue. Individual honors were taken by Scott Pratt and Don Harris who fought to the semi-finals in the District Doubles Tournament. Besides the numerous returning letter- inen, who will provide much needed experience, the Pioneers will be aided greatly by the new courts at the Kirkwood Park to which the team will have access. The Pioneers will play the seven above mentioned Suburban League teams in addition to several practice games. As this book goes to press it has come to cur attention that Mr. Stixrud will be the new tennis coach succeeding Mr. McCann who did a line job coaching former teams.

This year's team should pro- vide the future with excellent material. The basketioah team expects to have a fine season under the ieadership ot Coach Meyer. The track team shou1d set many records this year as they will have their own track for the tirst time and Coach Beltz is expecting promisiriq boys to try out for the team. This year's golf team expects to have another commendable season under the capable lead- ership ot Coach Lyons who has had many very fine teams at K. H. S. for the past twenty-three years. The '57 golf team will suffer the loss ot many lettermen. These include Iohn Silver, Rich Ioy, Darryl Yahl, Dave Lester, and Dave Covert. Because of their consistent low scores, these boys sparked last year's team to a su- perior record of nine and six. The returning lettermen for the '57 golf team include Steve Powell, Ron Bodkte, Bill O'Toole, and Gale Guyer who will probably form the nucleus of this year's squad. Many other boys are expect- ed to try out and give the mainstays a rough time. Some of these will include Bill Euwer, Dave Drake, and Bob Iohnson. The Pioneers will compete with the twelve Suburban League schools and the team will try to obtain as many practice matches as possible before the coni- mencement of the season with St. Louis U. High, Beaumont, and Coyle. The Pioneers ot this year will have access to the links at Crystal Lake Country Club where the fine leadership ot Coach Lyons will direct the lettermen and new prospects into a very successful year.

The skill and good sportsmanship the girls displayed during their gamcai was commendable. 11' l i':l.?y fi iii Varnty Hovke A large number of girls signed up for hockey intrarnurals this year.

K-Klub, one ot the most active clubs at our school, has accomplished more this year than ever before. Their rrrany activities included two annual backward dances, the K-Klub Karni- val and the Hatchet Hop, and sponsoring the Buzz Books and a tloat in the Tacky Day Parade. K-Klub has also organized atterschool girls' sports, including hockey in the tall, bas- ketball and volleyball in winter, softball and a tennis tournament in the spring. New members pholding Loyalty are admitted twice a year when they have earned the required points. Gne of the oldest clubs at K. l-l. S., K-Klub was organized to in- still a spirit of tair play in its members, to pro- vide a healthy atmosphere in which to play, and to award the individual for her participa- tion. Team sports are emphasized for the pur- pose of creating a desire within a girl to work, not only for herself, but tor others. With the aid ot their sponsor, Mrs. Gentry, the members of K-Klub have tried hard to lultill these aims.

Pep Club has or- qariized cornniittees to support the ditlerent learns of football, basketball, wrestlinq, aoll, tennis and track. Publicity cornniittees were also established for the rnore iniportant sports. All of these groups have done a territic job in supporting our teanis. Despite the tact that Pep Clula has encount- ered many obstacles this year because ot the size ot the cluh, they have surrnounted these, thanks to the hard work of the officers and the excellent cooperation of the rest ot the mem- bers. The officers, lean Hashharqer, President: Lou LeBlanc, Vice-Presidenty Peq Peterson, Sec- retaryg Linda Caine, Treasurerg and Marilyn Starnstead, Sergeant-at-Arms, have devoted much time and etiort to make the club the hest ever. This year Pep Club has a new sponsor, Mr. Stixrud, who has greatly aided the cluh with their many projects and problems.

The candidates for che-erleaders are chosen on the basis of try-outs and are then voted upon by the members of Pep Club. The cheerleaders have striven to create pride in their school at both home and away games. Buses have been provided for the away games and red and white shakers have been sold at all the games. Pep Club has also had several candy sales to raise money for their activities. Under the capable direction of their sponsors, Miss Sally Ozark and Miss Patricia Otto, the officers and other members have worked dili- gently to support their teams in football, basket- NIPHEH CHEERLEADERS ball, and the other sports.

The members, who are chosen from the individual classes, strive to solve inter and intra-school prohlems. Kirkwoods Council sent delegates to lvoth county and state gatherings this year where representatives discussed crtrzenslrip, social, lurid-raising, and service projects. Better relations between the organization and the stu- dent body were encouraged by having girls and boys not on the council participate in it:-1 activities. New ideas this year included mark ing a handbook tar new students, and helped organize a Teen Town, which was opened to both teams after home basketball games. Stir dent Council also carried out functions such as class elections, Orientation Day tor new pupils, and the May Pete. Diiiorent comrnittees kt pl the Snack Bar open every day, and devised in gcnious ways to collect money by selling beanies, liracelets, badges, athletic passes, and innumerable other trinketsl ln i958 the Student Council hopes to broaden its experience liy holding the state convention here, and energetic underclassmen are already zrzakrrrvq plarrs. 'lI'IVIlllF To tlllvr fuldantitr And Irtrardtrrship PTA. To explore the opportunities and resperrsiliilf ities ot education, to cultivate essential charac- ter qualifications ot good instructions, and to encourage entrance into the teaching profession are the purposes ot F.T.A. This year F.T.!X. :hose a new sponsor, Mrs. Brooks, who has been very enthusiastic about the clubs activities and has taken part in discussions at county-wide meetings. Cne money-making idea :she re ceived was the checking ot coats at dances, basketball games, and concerts. l7.T.A. and Toastmasters undertook this proiect and divided the profits. ln order that business would not take up so much time at nreetings, an executive committee was formed to take care ot current problems. During the tall, Diana Fogler, Lois Hutcheson, and Brenda Swisher attended the State Future Teachers ot America Convention in Kansas City, where Lois was elected treasurer tor the state. The club invited guest speakers to discuss various fields in education, and the pleasures and disappointments encountered in teaching. During spring, the group spent a day at the grade schools in Kirkwood, examining textbooks, grading papers, observing teachers' handling of the children as well as their meth- ods ot instruction, and, in some schools, took over classes themselves.

Their many deeds such as delivering messages, anwering the telephone, and collecting the at- tendance records illustrate their indispensability to our school. At the beginning and end oi each semester, the office assistants are busily engaged in helping to fill out schedule cards, giving out locker numbers and combinations, as well as making appointments for pupils and counselors. The qualities of honesty, trust- worthiness, poise, dependability, and outstand- ing scholarship are sought in the selection ot these girls. By setting examples as model citizens, they have upheld the high standards oi K. H. S. and are rewarded for their many helpful accomplishments by being asked to usher at the lune graduation. Each year these girls prove their high degree of capability and usefulness by carrying out their tasks to the best of their ability. LATIN CLUB Let us then be up and doing some worth while functions in understanding international- ism. The K.H.S. Latin Club is striving to attain this goal. Although the life of ancient Romans is not directly connected to internationalism, in- directly a knowledge and interest in Roman customs will aid the American in a wider un- derstanding oi his world neighbors. With a better comprehension ot the civilizations oi Greece and Rome, today's citizen may better understand and appreciate his own world. Ac- cordingly, Kirkwood High Schools Latin Club provides an opportunity to associate these ideas with the modern world in which we live. To supplement classwork by learning more about these ancient peoples and under the guidance ot Miss Gregory, the Latin Club helps develop ideas with a firm and ample base for the knowledge oi the Latin language from which so many English words are derived. haring in the ervioe oi K.ll. .

A Backward ttlancc Encouraging The purpose of Nipther lunior Classical League is to acquaint its members with the government, laws, literature, languages, and arts ol ancient Greece and Rome. They believe that this will enable them to understand and appraise the modern world. ln order to accom- plish their aim the group sees movies, gives re- Poge One Hundred Two ports, and has panel discussions on the ancient civilization. Occasionally a guest speaker is present at their meetings. An initiation banquet, a spring picnic, and attending both the State Convention and National Convention are a few ot the group's activities under the outstanding direction of Mrs. Schwerdtmann. NIPHER SPANISH CLUB For students who desire a better understand- ing of the Spanish-speaking people, the Spanish Club has been organized. The girls and boys feel that the more Americans learn about the customs and traditions of their neighbors to the South, the closer the two continents will become. Study ot the language itself is made more enjoyable for the students when they know about the countries and the people. Dur- ing the Christmas season, the club's sponsor, Miss Ozark, and the officers planned a Pinata Party for the members. Breaking the pinata, which is full of candies and nuts, has long been a Christmas tradition in Mexico. At the meetings following the party, the club invited speakers to bring slides to show to the group. This year, members feel that they have gained useful information about their southern friends as well as share in many entertaining events. Harmonious Living Today NIPHER FRENCH CLUB The Nipher French Club is one of the newly organized clubs at lunior High. The outstand- ing functions are to enlarge upon the knowledge of France, and to help the students understand the people of this country, their culture, and language. This knowledge can be used for the purpose of enjoying the habits and traditions of the French people, to instill a more thorough understanding, and to help promote world tel- lcwship. Then, too, the pleasant experience of group co-operation provides the opportunity for a valuable exchange of ideas. To aid the mem- bers in learning this language, the meetings are carried on in French with each participant trying to produce his best French accent. Some of the activities of this club have been programs featuring French music and art and also giving candy sales to substantiate their many pro- grams.

The otticers, Dave Cole, President, Quentin Almstedt, Vice-Presi- dent, and Martha Clark, Secretary: planned an im- pressive candle-light ceremony at which new mem- bers received their cards and pins, and discussed plans for a future magazine. THE PIONEER The members of Pioneer have one aim, to present the students with an outstanding and original year- book. Throughout the first semester the staffs in- genuity is combined in the planning of a yearbook which we hope will surpass those of previous years.

In order to finance the yearbook and to insure the student body of the best yearbook ever, the Pioneer Staff of 1957 devised a new means of earn- ing money by sponsoring a Christmas card mailing service. During the holiday season, we collected and then delivered cards to first-period classes. In February, the annual Pioneer Prance was held which heralded the crowning of the Pioneer Queen. All these aims and activities could not have been accomplished without the expert advice and guid- ance of our sponsor, Mrs. Steinkamp and Mrs. Par- ham, Nipher Co-ordinator.

S., is endeavoring to promote an interest in amateur radio among its members and to acquaint people with this fascinating subject. This organiza- tion provides a means of uniting people interested in the field of radio. Although the Radio Club is a comparatively young group, it has already set up its own station, and several members have received their amateur radio licenses. Under the enthusiastic leadership of Mrs. Conley, many interesting pro- grams have been sponsored during the year, among which was entering contests for nationwide recog- nition. CAMERA CLUB Under the enthusiastic leadership of Mr. Headlee and the officers, members of Camera Club learned the fundamentals of photography. Activities of the group included field trips, where they found oppor- tunities to take excellent pictures, and meetings at which different phases of photography were ex- plained. The location of a dark room in the Science Building enabled members to print and enlarge their pictures. Their main project was the sponsorship of a contest near the end of the year in which students submitted photographs. Prizes were awarded to the pe-rsons whose pictures were judged the best.

NIPHER PROJECTION CLUB The Nipher Projection Club, under the leadership at Mr. Roberts, trains the students in the operation of movie projectors as an in- dividual hobby and helps teachers to show films to their classes by managing the ma- chines. Before the members are eligible to show movies, they must learn the parts of a projector and pass a test on its operation given by the sponsor. Usually the members are taken from their study halls to operate the projectors in the classrooms. The boys, besides learning a useful skill, also enjoy their club's meetings and activities. Page One Hundred Fourteen -4+ NIPHER ART CLUB The Nipher Art Club is now prominent in developing a greater appreciation and knowl- edge of art among junior High students. Under the enthusiastic and capable leadership ot Miss Hendrick, the members are proud of the club and the progress it has been making. Here is an organization dedicated to high standards of art work, both within the classroom and without, which is furthered through lectures, field trips and club projects. Having combined the willingness to progress and the eagerness to participate, Nipher Art Club members have already proved very active. Artistie Achievements ART CLUB Art is long and the artistic impressions cmd ex- pressions will forever be a part of the members of the Art Club. Students of K.H.S., who are interested in art, are able to further their scholastic interest and understanding, while their artistic development is stimulated through service and selfeexpression. A good citizen is appreciative of the finer things in life, and the Art Club provides a satisfying aesthetic experience which develops standards of good taste and judgment, enabling art students to enjoy the beautiful in nature as well as in art. Some of the club's many activities this past year have been paint- ing the windows of the Kirkwood business district with Halloween pictures, and promoting the annual Art Club dance. The members also made a beauti- ful Snack Bar mural which ornately clecorates our cafeteria. Many field trips to very interesting places provided both educational and recreational value to its members. Under the capable leadership of Miss lean Sheppard and with the help of the officers, George Wagner, President, Billie Lamkin, Vice-Presb t denty loan Zimmermann, Secretaryg and ludy Isaac, Treasurer, the Art Club of K.H.S. has given many people new insights into the field of art.

The pa- per's first editor-in-chief was Stuart Harris, and its sponsors are Mrs. Durham and Mr. Beltz. Un September 6, 1956, the Beacon published an Opening Day issue. It had two reasons for doing so: one, to provide for every student a bulletin of useful information regarding Nie pher's activities, rules, and traditions, and sec- ond, to introduce the new students to the bi' weekly newspaper. The Beacon Staff appeared twice on the television program, Look, Listen, and Learn in the fall. Ori the first program the history of the Beacon was enacted in a skit. Featured on the second program were the pa- per's original editors. With fifteen hundred sub- scribers the Beacon has come a long way since their first issue in attaining their goal. This year, under the editorship of Lee Weigel, the Beacon has become a truly fine newspaper.

LIBRARY ASSISTANTS To provide experience tor students interested in library work and to give book service to K. H. S. pupils are the two main functions of the library assistants. They give a daily study period to servicing the circulation desk, refer- ence, magazine, and reserved book sections, and to working in the library office. Kirkwood High is one of the few schools in Missouri that is authorized to give credit for this worthwhile activity under the leadership of Mrs. Fox. NIPHER LIBRARY CLUB By serving as library assistants, these Nipher students receive training for possible future oc- cupations and their enjoyment and appreciation for books increase. The most outstanding activ- ity this year was the drafting of a constitution for the club, but the members also selected pins and planned gala social events under the spon- sorship of Mrs. Werner. They promoted a great- er interest in reading in the student body by having an assembly during the National Book week. Page One Hundred Seventeen 'IU 1.

They work with each other to fulfill the following goals, We have learned to fly through the air like birds, and to swim under the sea like fish. Now all we have to do is to learn to walk the earth like men. To accomplish this aim, Human Relations Club members have appointed com- mittees for various areas of activities, chosen delegates to Inter-Group Youth Conferences, to work in conjunction with the National Confer- ence of Christians and lews. Sending delegates, chosen from the Social Studies classes, to the annual Model UN Assembly is a project of this club and is one of wide interest among the students. Panel discussions are held which present an opportunity for problems of impor- tance to both the school and community. School issues such as the pros and cons of honor rolls, school citizenship, and cliques are debated. Segregation and foreign aid are among those sulvjects discussed which are of importance to community life. By instilling a knowledge and understanding of people all over the world and furthering hu- man relations with these people, this club has done well in promoting the idea of the need of peace which confronts the world today. The officers, Craig Bester, President, Martha Hol- scher, Vice-Presidentg lanet Senger, Ian Wirtel, Secretaries: Priscilla Schwartz, Treasurer: and Linda Caine, Helen Carpenter, Reporters: have worked hard to promote their aims through Better World tlonditinns well-planned programs and interesting discus' sions in which all viewpoints of an issue are presented. This gives a clear picture of the different problems and enables each member to see distinctly the opposite sides of an argu- ment. This club, with the fine leadership of Miss Dewey Shikles, strives to achieve its goal of bettering world conditions by enlightening public understanding and by exploring all ave- nues leading to a more peaceful and orderly union.

The council stands for the highest ideals of Nipher. lt has three purposes: to assist in carrying out worthwhile projects for the entire school, to strive for better relations among stu- dents, faculty, and administration, and to create better schoo-l attitudes and appreciations. One person from each home room was elected to serve on the council.

H. S. CONSERVATION CLUB The K. H. S Conservation Club aims always to teach its members to realize seriously that our natural resources are not unlimited and that steps must be taken to replace and preserve them. With its main purpose of teaching the seriousness of caring for natural resources, Miss Henry stresses the fact that resources will not last forever without proper attention. The rnenif bers learn to practice and understand methods which will lay the foundation for a plentiful fu- ture. Accordingly, the club has featured some highly instructive movies, which stress the havoc wrought by forest fires and those pictur- ing agricultural and soil conservation methods practiced in foreign countries, as well as those used in this country. The key importance of the Kirkwood Conservation Club is to instill knowledge concerning modern conservation measures in the minds of members as well as a love for the natural world. Some of their many activities have been numerous field trips through the year, and an exhibit at the Science Fair. Five scholarships which consist of a ticket to the Audubon Screen Tour series have been given this year. K. H. S.

This club, designed to promote understanding and unity, has developed a large number of commendable ideals through its varied pro- grams under the direction of Mrs. Hummel. Vtforking together in a spirit of mutual respect for all religions, the members have helped to originate Teen-Town, and have tried to promote understanding between people of different backgrounds. The Y-Teens are members of an organization which stresses religious and racial toleration. These girls endeavor to build a fel- lowship devoted to the task of developing wholesome characters which are fundamental in the home, school, and community. Through city-wide conferences with other chapters, they develop lasting friendships as they Work for world peace. Page One Hundred Twenty-six Making money the hard way Avriomplishmrint - ltreligirrus Faith NIPHER YYTEENS These girls constantly strive to tollow Chrisf tian ideals in their lives by serving others. Be- sides giving direct service to organizations like the Red Cross Blood Bank and the Qld Folks' Home in Kirkwood, the members earned enough money to send two delegates to a Regional Conference in Peoria, Illinois and contributed a World Fellowship Gilt. The energetic group earned money by washing cars, raking leaves, holding bake sales, and selling stationery. Be- sides their rnoneymaking projects, they found time to attend the Y-Teen Banquet, and to give a tea tor their mothers to explain the aim ot l the club.

Raising the standards of music in the school and community as well as serving the school and students are the aims of the K. H. S. senior high orchestra. Each member of this group realizes that in order to achieve the goal of perfect harmony he must consider himself a smaller part contributing to a unit.

This year the chorus is directed by Miss Puchbauer, who selected a variety of numbers for per- formances. During the Christmas holiday season, the group gave a concert of carols for their parents. The last few days before vacation, they sang in the halls, helping to create a Christmas spirit among the students.

This was an exciting occasion for the students, as they were competing against excellent opposition. Shortly after the festival, they also gave a spring concert. Only because of the girls' and the boys' enthusiasm for singing and their willingness to practice are their concerts made so enjoyable. Those who wish to sing in the high school choir receive valuable training in mixed chorus, and everyone receives pleasure.

The second year at K.l'l.S. has opened with the students eager to visit the recently completed gymnasium and auditorium. Man, do you jive those crazy mixed up curtains and how about those leather seats-YWow! This is really a treat to both faculty and students. The CALL starts the social sea- son off with a whirl by presenting The Maiden Voyage , while our initial pep assembly held in the new aud. shows the super football team that we are backing them all the way. Student Council has their first meeting with Parliamentary Procedure: and Snack Bar, one of their many projects, is opened. We finally dedicate our build- ing after being here for a year. Is your hair rather droopy in your class picture? lf so-it's because of the London fog present on a day when Pioneer took pictures. Once again our hal- lowed halls are cluttered with signs of all shapes and sizes. Dcn't we really go all out for class elections? ln assemblies we learn how not to drive a car from Sergeant Pike and from George Specs Toporcer we discover that one can surmount obstacles no matter how difficult they may seem. Congratulations to all the very deserving class officers. Times are changing-with the gals asking the guys to the K-Klub Karnival and the Spider Swing. Do you always wear shaving cream for an accessory, or just on All Hallows Eve? On College Day, which seems to be a crystal ball of dreams, we look into the future-let's just hope we pass this quarter! After many weeks of hard work, Arsenic and Old Lace is a tremendous success for Little Theater. The costumes and the Pep Club skit on Tackey Day are really hilarious: but gosh we froze at the Bonfire held on our own campus. There goes the bell Page One Hundred Forty-six and here comes the little brown jug is a final statement as we wind up the football season on Thanksgiving Day-- four wins and five losses. Congrats to Nancy Brown who, along with Webster's Queen, reigned at the annual Friendship Dance held in cur new gym. Do you know your wealthy words? and Oh! Do you know what happened in Shelley, Byron, and Keats life? are familiar questions to all Seniors at this time of year. After the Varsity-Alumni game which initiates our new gym, the Denver Quintet takes over. Charles King sings for us-but we goofed-wno free lunches this time. The Call comes out in green with another scoop- Mr. Wiggins wins the door decorations! With the Christmas activities a poppin, concerts presented by the vocal groups and the instrumental section start us for a ride cn Cloud 9-Christmas Formal, Steinie's tea, and more teaseparties -dates-goodies-and no school! We say good-by l956 at Sunny's Surprise breakfast on the moming of December 31 and at parties which lasted far into the wee small hours of New Year's Day. Back to school and back on a diet- They say All good things must come to an end. The Millermen play gobs and gobs of games, and we sure are backing them all the way. Everything seems to be going in one big whirl-semester exams4K-Klub initiation fwrestling meets-a heartbreaking game with U. City which we lost in the last second by one point!-a day drudging for the Pioneer, and then report cards. Nice going to Dexheimer, Fedder, Gibbons, Lange, Oberer, and Stevenson, for being named as finalists in the National Merit Scholarship. Red and White K 's are a remem- brance from the Varsity Drag and adorn each gir1's Bulletin Board. 'U We surely are bustin' with pride! Our Millermen begin the month with a winning streak by coming up second in the Webster Tournament! The social season is sparked with the Pioneer Prance and the Senior Hay l-lop. Congratulations lan! You make a darling Pioneer Oueen. And to Norman Luttbeg and Carol Whitbread who are given the novel titles of Farmer and l:'armer's Daughter. Seniors are planning for the Senior Assembly, Skip Day and Graduation: juniors for the Iunior-'Senior Prom: and sophomores are busily looking forward to the end of school. As Valentine's Day looms up girls are anxiously watching the mailbox'-for is it vice versa? Did you peep at your Patch Test? All cf K.H.S. thanks Mr. George Washington for making another holiday possible. Our wonderful coach is honored on Millernight and we say farewell to a jolly fellow, Ioe Mullendore. The dolls drag their guys to the Hatchet Hcp-f-you are a well deserving Hatchet Man, Gene! Everyone--sophomores, juniors, seniors, and faculty wel- come Mr. Cochran back to our halls. Hats off to Lou and Gene, Popularity Poll winners, and to our debaters- - you did a terrific job at the tournament. What a wonderful time we have on our trip to China at the Art Club Dance and we never knew there were so many twins 'til the Twin Twirl! Mr. Krone entertains us with teasers from Macbeth. We are as busy as little beavers going to basketball games, Student Council Carnival and with more tryouts for the Talent Assembly. just think---our Millermen winning the Webster Regional and going to State! APRIL: No school this month! April Fool! Mo. U. puts on a gala band concert. We do have a day off while the faculty gc-es to a Teachers' Meeting. K.l-l.S. shows off her ttt 195 Venture talent at the superb Talent Assembly. Our report cards make us sit up and take more notice of our homework-- let's hope they'll be better next quarter. Now Wiggie's men are in full swing: the seniors are dashing around with the play and assembly sneaking up on them. The luniors presented the seniors with a splendid Iunior-Senior Prom. Congratulations are in order for the 1957 May Maids: Sally Neville, Nancy Youngblood, Lou LeBlanc, Iona Dail, Menda McComb. Elizabeth Gardner, and lean l-lashbarger. After our Easter Vacation we come back full cf enthusiasm f 'only one more month of school! MAY: We really have some fine new cheerleaders and two terrific Call and Pioneer Staffswcongratulations to everyone. The cast and crew for the Senior Play, Best Foot Forward, gave two hilarious performances. The May Pete including the lovely flowers, decorations, and queen seems to be the prettiest ever. The seniors certainly enjoy themselves at the dinner after the May Fefe. The Corona- tion Prom, held in honor of the May Queen, is our last dance cf the year. The Pioneers come out--wow, aren't they beautiful?-Some staff! No more school for the seniors after the Skip Days-what fun! We finally made it! Graduation is here! Carol, Dave, Casey, and Craig deliver marvelous orations ex- pressing the feeling of the Senior Class. And now with the beginning of the end at hand, freshman are in dubious thought of the step to be taken next year, sophomores are anticipating the hard work of their junior year, juniors are anxiously awaiting the superiority of being a senior, while seniors are reviewing with misty eyes the glorious year which terminated far too soon. Good luck--see you during Xmas vacation! Page One Hundred Forty-seven Pcxql?
