In sociology, biology, trig., and more, whether filled with his own thoughts or the thoughts of the instructor, the Kirkwood student finds his place where he loses his thoughts for those of more substance. Building on pieces of ideas, the Pioneer gathei ' s his tools. Seven - x ' = , Kirkwood students express themselves in Activities Rejoicing students, with smiling faces at the end of another school day, go to a pep assembly and miss their sixth period. But students also, in this same rally, cheer, encourage and honor those who fight for K.H.S.; they possess the spirit of their school. When the final bell rings at 3:15, it is the ones who stay for school activities who are the makers of this spirit. It is they, the clul) memjiers, the Student Council delegates, the journalists, and the athletes, who make what is brick and stone a living and vital experience in a new era. Eight a i. y?CJ c i l . ' C V ;£ . c Ten Seniors, juniors, and sophomores at the end of a busy day, leaving the srhool and its unceasing work to return that night to watch a K.H.S. basketball game, buy Pioneer Derbies and Kirkwood sweatshirts to show tlieir school spirit. Grouping around ihc bonfire on the cold niglil ijefore the Turkey Day Game, they show their great enthusiasm. Some use their talents in the marching Ijand. while others help their fellow man by decorating the UNICEF Tree of Lights. But they all add to K.H.S. a part of themselves — an irreplaceable gifl to the alma mater. Eleven Top Row: Boyle. Hines, .Monolo, Rice, Douglas, Allen, Wolf, Ettei, Uiakc.

STUDENT COUNCIL In co-operation with tlie scliool admin- istration, our Student Council {joverns school activities to benefit tlie students and the school. Student Council members en- deavor to represent the wishes of their fellow classmates and always welcome sug- gestions and criticism. Meetings are open to all K.H.S. students and participation in Student Council projects is encouraged. By attending state and local workshops, members look for new ideas with which to improve Kirkwood ' s Council. This year the Webster Groves Student Council was host to the K.H.S. Council in order that the two rival schools could meet and discuss common problems. Annual programs in- cluding Green Thumb. Student Council Carni al. the orientation program, and Kirkwood Kettles are concrete evidence of the enthusiasm of Kirkwood ' s Council. Among other new things accom|)lished this year, the Student Council adopted a Jamai- can orphan through the Christian Chil- dren ' s Fund in an effort to give a needy child a chance for a better life.

Dur- ing their senior xeav these boys have organized five individual Hi-Y groups: the Dudes. High- landers. Cavaliers. Sabres, and the Roval Knights. By working together the members successfulK carry out the responsibilities of Kirkwood ' s Senior Hi- . Their biggest ' ]uh is the sponsorship of the spirited bonfire rally the night before the Thanks- giving Day game, and of the Friendship Dance, which is held in cooperation with Webster ' s Senior Hi-Y. As the holidays draw near, the Hi-Ys participate in the Y sponsored Christmas Basketball Tourna- ment. The Christmas spirit is boosted even more when the groups, joined by the Senior Tri-Hi-Ys. make plans lor the annual Christmas Formal. Glistening evergreens, an ice skating pond, and a cozy lodge scene helped create the wintery atmos- phere of a Winter Lude. Among the Hi-Ys manv service projects is the yearly contribution to the World Service, a Y missionary program. Apart from service to others, representatives are sent to the Youth in Govern- ment meeting at Jefferson City where thev take part in a most rewarding program designed to give young people a working knowledge of government. Each year, young men and women of Missouri be- come familiar with our state government bv actual- ly filling the positions in its three departments for one day. This interest youth has in government was brought up again this winter when the High- The .Sr. Hi- s sponsor a Pizza Parly. landers sponsored a program titled Understanding of Communism which discussed the Communist influence in the United States and how it could be prevented. Our YMCA program in Kirkwood is evidently carrying out its main objectives by supplying our young people of today with the opportunities which will enable them to become better Christian citizens of tomorrow. the Christian Attitude . . .

TRI-HI-Y Endeavoring to cultivate a Christian attitude of world-wide fellowship and service, the three Tri- Hi-Y s work together and separatelv to execute this purpose through the cluh activities. Efforts are united in such projects as the an- nual Christmas formal, inter-club athletic events as this year ' s swim meet, and the World Service program. The Do-Bees, guided by Mrs. John- son, sponsored the first Y Teen Town and in the realm of service helped a needy family cele- brate Christmas. The K-Klan, sponsored by Miss Farries. einphasized Christian charity bv supporting a Korean orphan. Mrs. Gentry sponsors the Dud- ettes who made frequent visits to a Girl Scout troop at Kingdom House, a welfare center in St. Louis. Social activities — pizza, slumber, and splash par- ties — are popular events. For the benefit of the lower classmen, a tea was given bv the three groups to stimulate interest in Tri-Hi-Y. Members respect the basic objective — to at- tract and unite young people in a universal fellow- ship for the purpose of developing Christian char- acter and building a Christian society.

Sufficient support of this statement lies in the 1960 Christinas Concert and s])rina; programs. In addition, the group entertained the Parent Teachers Association. The Orchestra participated in the Kirkwood Public School music festixal. and sev- eral meniliers were selected to plav in the all- county orchestra. Under the capable direction of Mr. Burton Isaac, the orchestra offers training, experience, and satis- faction to its individual nii ' nd)ers as well as the student hodv.

VARSITY TRACK Last year the KirkKood Pioneers captured third place in the Clayton Invitational Meet, second place in the U. City Invitational, and won dual meets from Webster. Ladue, and Normandy. This year Coaches McClanahan and Batch are looking for- ward to another fine season. The cleatmen should be strong in the sprints with Graham. Rice, and Harrison; in the jioie vault with Dorian. Murphy, and Krieger: and in the weights with Runnels, Snavely. Lionberger, and Wells. Spiller. Graham. Shubert, and Williams will provide strength in the distances and Aitch should perform well in the high jump and hurdles. If these fine prospects do as well as is expected, the team could improve on last year ' s record.

The lettermen are seniors Bill Spiller and Eliott Schubert and underclassmen OUie Williams, Mike Brukdorfer, Mike Brock, Bob Reed, Joe Charlieville. and Gravdon Gwinn. Since there are are only two senior lettermen. the team ' s prospects for next year are again excellent. Spiller leaps to victory in Big Ten Relays.

Coach Denver Miller will have 10 returning letter- men, including Bill Belko. Phil Landes. Mike Strode, Steve Miller. Jim Waller. Jim Nickel. Ron Willis. Roger Schmidt. Ken Saladin, and Fred Scott. With an additional vear of experience for these lettermeii and with such bright prospects as Art Birdwell. Ray Bahr. Jim Edens, Steve Brans- ford, Bob Reed and John Wolf, the team should have a winnins; combination. FRED SCOTT Outfield PHIL LANDES Pitcher Sevemy-six Bench anxiously awaits third out IMlcll.

Coach Bill Lenich is ex- pecting an excellent team. Last season the team finished with a record of ten wins and only four losses and took third place in the District Tourna- ment and seventh place in the State Tournament. Led by Randy Wagner. Bill I ' ouell and Captain Bob Smith, the Turf Men defeated St. Charles, Lindbergh. Normandy. Webster, Clayton. Affton, St. Louis U. High, Ritenour, and Brentwood. With twelve matches scheduled this season, along with the State and District Tournaments, it is hoped that the team can equal or even better their sec- ond place Suburban League standing of last season. Trying to see that this will be done, are returning lettermen Jim Healy and John Hosmer, along with the other skilled players, including Dean Swift Wayne Whittaker and Bill Kohn. -T- S a Coach Lenich instructs Healy.

TENNIS Last year ' s tennis team compiled a 16-4 record, downing such touali teams as Burroughs, Ladue, and Webster Groves twice. The doubles team of Gary Garrison and Mike Hamilton reached the semi-final round of the state tourney. The prospects for this year ' s squad once again are very good. Five returning lettermen, including Bob Domrese. Mike Hamilton, John Wanstrath, Chip Decker, and Bruce Brodie will join with such fine prospects as Eric Schmidt. Kim Wincup. John Staples. Jeff Thompson, and Roger Shaw to form the nucleus of this year ' s team. This year ' s sched- ule, which includes matches against Ladue. Web- ster, St. Louis, Principia. Burroughs, and Country Day. should be one of the tougiiest in years. Staples demonstrates his serve. Secenty-nine Looking Ahead and Coaches Heatheriniilun and StocUur discuss strategy. B TEAM FOOTBALL Coach Wilson Stocker, with the assistance of Coach Heatherington, this year built a victorious team from a group of hard) and very promising boys. Having lost only to Webster, the Sophomore squad compiled a record of five wins and one loss. The team defeated Riverview 20-6. Normandy 21-7, University 20-7, Ferguson 13-0. Ritenour 26-13, and lost to Webster bv a score of 7-20. Offensive- ly, with Luttbeg. Wood. Kirk. Coley, Waggner. Reese, and Schwartz up front, and two sets of hard running backs alternating, the team seemed to play with a maximum of effort throughout the sea- son. Defensively headed by Phil Coley. Jim Pound. Paul McConnell, and Tom Wood, the Junior Pio- neers held the opposing teams to an average of less than nine points per game. Pete England and Dan Kirk were selected by the team as co-captains.

VARSITY HOCKEY The main opponent of this year ' s varsity hockey team was the weather, which caused the cancellation of two of the five games. However, this fine team emerged from its contests with a commendable record of one win, no losses, and two ties. Their only victory was over Bayless with the score 2-0. The games against Webster and Maplewood regis- tered a 0-0 tie. VARSITY BASKETBALL Although the varsity basketball team consisted of thirteen members, bad luck did not plague this outstanding teain. Their excellent reward, five wins and no losses, showed Kirkwood ' s strength in this sport. Affton and Clayton were defeated on our home court, 29-17 and 24-16, respectively. Under a visitors handicap, Kirkwood thoroughly defeated their arch-rival, Webster, 33-17. The remaining two games against Maplewood (22-181 and Uni- versity City (32-20) were also victories for the Kirkwood girls. VOLLEYBALL TEAM Tiip Row: Mrs. Gentry. Sunder, Rannev. Martin. Metzner.

With Mr. Miller and .Mr. Lenich acting as ad- isois. the club ' s first major project, the Varsity- Alumni Basketball Game, became a huge success. Other major projects were the annual Slave Day and the Varsity Club Drag. The theme of this dance was The Golden Age of Sports. which was in honor of this year ' s exceptional varsity sports. Highlighting the dance was the crowning of Steve Vogeding, varsit) basketball player, as Queen of the Drag. The selling of Pound ' em Pioneer buttons, the distribution of apples after the football games, and the presentation of a plaque to the school in honor of the lettermen of ' 61 were more club sponsored projects.

Despite other school activities and the inclemency of the weather, our cheerleaders were at every game yell- ing and cheering our team on tt) victory. Becoming a cheerleader is a cherished dream for many at K.H.S. and. to those who qualify, a great honor. However, cheerleading is not all glory, for mixed in with the fun are often sacrifices and complete exhaustion. Our cheerleaders ' good co-ordination is the result of hours of diligent practice.

' r Eighty-nine Students and teachers express themselves in Classes Knowledge is received in many ways by Kirkwood students: In the physics lab, techniques are developed and coniepts are learned; in the history class, dates are remembered and philosophies are introduced; in the gym class, coordination is developed and personalities are improved. But in an assembly, the school becomes whole. Sophomores, juniors, as well as seniors, listen to the same talk on Driving Safety, or on Being an American, and join in applauding the presentation. In smaller classes, specific concepts are learned, while in an assembly, ideas of unity and perspective influence the entire student body.

ENGLISH DEPARTMENT In this age of ultra-ra])id travel and communica- tion, it is extremely important that we be able to speak and write well. In this endeavor our English classes are the means by which the end to use the native language — is reached. ability Julius Cai ' ai in iiioclnii li Sophomore English emphasizes a comprehensive study of grammar and vocabulary and introduces the high school student to the study of literature — renowned authors and literary works. American literature, grammar, and more composition are studied at the eleventh grade level. Three ap- proaches to English are offered in the twelfth grade — general; college preparatory and English litera- ture: and a recent addition, the special program for the able, ambitious, and achieving. In all three grades, vocabulary enrichment is achieved by the study of W ' orcl Wealth. This ear K.H.S. participated in a faculty ex- change ])rograin and welcomed the arrival of senior English instructor. Miss Margery Benham, from Monmouthshire, Wales, while Miss Vivion Henry left Kirkwood to take Miss Benham ' s position. Under the supervision of well-qualified teachers, all students become equally familiar with themes, evaluations, term papers and make a critical analy- sis of various literary works. The English courses at K.H.S. are designed to groom students to meet any situation in future years requiring correct usage of our everyday speech and writing. Ninety-eight And Our Knowledge of Others Mil ail the discussion in Shikle ' s room. SOCIAL STUDIES An accurate understanding of the principles of our nation ' s government, her history and citizens, and a firmly based knowledge of governments of other countries and their people, past and present, are necessary factors in our nation ' s fight to pre- serve the free world. Opportunities to study in these fields are given to students in Kirkwood ' s history, government, and sociology classes. Cur- rent political and social problems are frequentiv and objectively discussed. Students acquire a feel- ing of pride when they know how their country has grown and become great. By obtaining a better in- sight of people and their problems, they also learn to appreciate the heritage given to our nation by other older societies. Students are able to under- stand and determine prejudice and form their own social and political opinions on a firm, factual basis. In keeping with this spirit. Mrs. Carpenter ' s gov- ernment classes set up a mock election enabling K.H.S. students to take part in the voting and attain a clearer understanding of their nations election procedure.

Kirk- wood students take courses in general mathe- matics, algebra, geometry, trigonometry, and solid geometry. Because math is essential, at least two credits are required for gradua- tion. The higher levels of math such as solid, trig anil advanced algebra, lay the foundation for those who plan to go into engineering, construction, and similar fields while the general math courses teach students the necessary mathematic skills needed in every day living. One may see displays ol geometric models as well as examples of graphs in most of the math classrooms.

With Meaningful Methods SCIENCE As we go through life, nothing benefits us more than a knowledge of science. With the world progressing rapidly in technological fields, science becomes more and more im- portant. In high school, the student lays the groundwork for the profession he exentually enters. If the chosen profession is in a field of science, then high school labs must provide the budding experiences which in later life, bloom and create the scientists of our time. But science is not just for the specialist: it is for people everywhere who are interested in the hows and whys of the universe. Science is man ' s way of explaining the rea- sons behind the phenomena of all creation, whether God-made or man-made. One Hundred One Studrnts learn the wonders of static electricity.

Experience in drawing, sketching, painting, ceramics, designing, and art history is offered by the art department, while the various music groups function in somewhat different realms. Singing groups are introduced to a vast amount of music and learn an apprecia- tion of the art. For the first time this year a sec- ond band has been created because of the rapid growth of the instrumental music department. Scheduling has permitted the merger of both bands into a Kirkwood Marching Band, which boasts of ninety members who played at six home football games this year. Annual concerts plus the Santa Claus Parade rounds out an active year for the band. Mrs. Betty Bingham with her assistant Joanne Harger.

PHYSICAL EDUCATION AND DRIVER ' S EDUCATION Physical fitness is the key expression in P.E. this ear. Through participation in the sireat va- riety of outdoor and indoor sports, students are able to build up their bodies, practice good sports- manship, and develo]) their skills in a natural and competitive atmosphere. Fresh new courses such as modern dance for girls are being added to the curriculum each year. Driver ' s Education trains future drivers and teaches them to regard driving with a serious and objective viewpoint. Many Kirkwood students have benefitted from this instructive course by proving to be courteous, safe drivers. LIBRARY The K.H.S. library serves as a study hall as well as a place for securing information. Its lulpfiil librarians are always ready to assist students seek- ing novels or reference material. Whether for studies or pleasure, students find what they iict-d in the adequately filled shelves of the school library. Mr. H.rsh.-l I ' a r. li. W illiaiii Do.kins. One Hundred Five Sophomores . . .

NDRA Breece SoNjA Brown Robert Feldbusch Robert Forsyth e Perry Foster Ray Hritz Allen Lynch Edward Maxwell Kenneth Robnett Mary Ri!ble Robert Smith Brian Thome Jeannie Webdell P. tricu Wedding Alan Wilkie David Workman One Hundred Fifty-seven Calendar SEPTEMBER School started with a liaui; aiul a Welcome Issue of the Call. Pep Week with it Hilln Day and name tags. Poster Day, Color Day with everyone in red and white. Cluh Day for recruiting new members, and Pep Day with the assembly to introduce the cheerleading and football squads really built up school spirit. Loyal fans were drenched as we struggled to a 0-0 tie with Du Bourg in the down- pour. Several additions to K.H.S. were noticed — a truly English English teacher. Miss Benham, and a new foreign language, German. Two dances highlighted the social sea- son — the Starlight Benefit Dance at Kirkwood Park and the annual Call Ball with The Turn of the Century as its theme. Our Terrific Team began its winning streak with the Edwardsville game. OCTOBER The first Kettle of the year was held after another victory — this time over Riverview. K.H.S. students went all out in their drive for World Clothing Week. The victorious Normandy game was followed by the K-Klub ' s Voter ' s Valse — gals and dates practiced citizenship as Nixon won K.H.S. ' s first mock election. Class elections were heated contests with Adams, Fisher, and Fales heading their re- spective classes into apron, megaphone, and car wash ticket sales. Many Seniors took advantage of Mizzou ' s Univer- sity Day to investigate its opportunities. Many toothy grins were observed as Pioneer pictures rolled around. Scarlet letters (T ' s) broke out as Little Theater initiated its probationers. K.H.S.. led the state with sixteen Merit Semi-Finalists — Reichardt, Fellinger, Free, Meyer, Johns, Sturgis, Brinknian, Schaefer, Priess, Holzapfel, Hagerman, Mueller, Peters, Wright, and Lyon. There were twenty- three Letters of Commendation as well. Juniors began the long road with the PSAT and our valiant team lost a heart- breaker to U-City. A terrific Halloween Kettle followed our victory over Ferguson. NOVEMBER The Ritenour game and the Art Club ' s Land of Oz dance started the month off right. The first of the St. Louis Symphony ' s Student Concerts was greatly appreciated by those in attendance. K.H.S. citizens cast their votes in a mock election and by sixth period the popular vote was anounced — Mr. Nixon, as expected, had won. But the country did not quite go as Kirkwood did. Student Coun- cil sponsored another drive-in. Shane and High Society were even better the second time around, or was it the third? The football fathers enjoyed a day on the bench as sons defeated Quincy. College Night put seniors on their One Hundred Fifty-eiqht guard, a- under-classmen tried to make a decision. Luckily Open House prececded those lively little while reports. Only ten weeks left to improve. Liz Matthews and Gary Lash. as well as others, entertained drama bugs in Little Theater ' s Desk Set. Bob Cass accepted a whopping scholarship from Fisher Body — definitely college material. Then came the really big week-end. Tacky Day and Parade, smashing victory over Webster and beautiful dame in our gym. Oueen Sharie and her lovely court Linda, Bitsy, Linda, Martha, and Nancy were the belles of the ball, DECEMBER The Millermen began a great season with a victory over the Alumni. K.H..S. swept the Maplewood Tournament for the second consecutive time. Jim looked mighty good as the Most Valuable Player and Phil was on the All-Star team too. The Orchestra gave another beautiful Christmas con- cert. Once again the Pioneer Staff opened its smash sales campaign with a riotous assembly — Queenie Cole, Crackers Frost, and Twinkletoes Russell along with the films were great fun for all — Remember your year with the ' 61 PIONEER! Christmas was gaining on us as Mrs. Boettner copped the door prize; the Hi- ' s and Tri-Y ' s gave the gorgeous Winterlude Christmas Formal; the choral department rendered it Cjhristmas program on KMOX, as well as at great PSCCMS.

Steve Milliif lUlneil once again. Everj ' iMna and the tourney was t clcj ' sweep- a greater margin. Calendar FEBRUARY This aotivity-crammed month began with another Kirk- wood-Webster game which could only be titled Sweet Beverage. This TV Game of the Week allowed one and all to see our team in action. Then everything went white. Our game with Clayton was postponed, but we hearty Pioneers didn ' t let snow deter us from our beloved school. Our grapplers took a fourth in the District Meet at Webster — a fine showing. Little Theater initiates be- came full-fledged members as they downed baby food and sour KOOL AID at Connie Thompson ' s house. (Jueen Ardii reigned over the Pioneer Prance as the Queen of Heart with her lovely maids, Becky. Bitsy. Liz, Mary, Nancy, and Susie. Valentine ' s Day jirompted shy girls to invite that special someone to the Hatchet Hop. .Steve Miller. K.H.S. George Washington, was elected at the annual K-Klub event. Other honored statesmen, pardon, PIONEERS were Bruce, Charlie, Jeff, Jerry. Jim, Ron, and Steve. Pat Smith and the other members of Little Theater ' s Sorry, Wrong Number cast gave a great assembly. The basketball team succeeding in avenging a bitter foot- ball defeat clinched the Suburban Big Ten title at the U. City game. Varsity Club provided handsome labor cheap with its annual Slave Day. Once again good ol ' George pro- vided us with a holiday — many adventurous seniors pre- tended it was really spring and headed for the hills. Miller Night to honor our terrific coach was the night of the St. Louis University High game. The team contri- buted their gift — a great victory over the Jr. Bills. More serious business was conducted by Human Relations Club members at the Soldan conference. MARCH Merit Finalists were announced and not one of our bunch, the largest in Missouri, dropped out. The perfect year for our Regional Tourney to be held at K.H.S. — we really rocked the rafters with our We Want State chant. The next week we began by crunching CBC one more time. Then a bitter blow, but one that had to be faced, our sec- ond loss of the season, 28-2. And four trophies must be accredited to the ' 60-61 basketball team as a marvelous record. We returned to thoughts ol homework and ni t year as the Juniors took the National Merit exams and Seniors had their last crack at the College Boards. A Vocal Festival at KHS brought sweet music to our ears. The Varsity Drag made all the Pound-em Pioneers but- tons we bought worthwhile. A Cappella members for next year were selected and the whole school seemed to take a serious turn — worrying about third-(|uarter grades, college acceptance and TB patch tests.

A glorious week for the senii rs ct tained the May Fete and dinner, as well as the Coronation Prom to honor the Queen and her court. The Seniors began to end their years at K.H.S. giving an uproarious assembly and pulling their skip day. The all new 1961 PIONEER made its appearance and the last Kettle of the year was spent in signing PIONEERS. JUNE Starry-eyed Sophomores and teary-eyed Seniors crowd the halls as the juniors look forward to their big year. .Soon the Seniors leave and the halls seem empty without ihem. The last frantic week of exams flies by and .soon there ' s a whole lazy summer ahead. Graduation is a mix- ture of joy and pain. Then the Senior Parly — an all-night affair to wind up our high school years of fun. College will be exciting, but its so hard to leave all these happy memories. Kirkvvood High will always remain a part of us.
