lljnnl mms' ' f- -42 5 N...! if WW ED TRAVIS, Principal Franklin McCallie and Robert Wagner discuss problems about the installation of the new stadium lights. PUBLICITY AND FUNDS concern Robert Wagner, PBI president, and Bill Jaeger, se- nior, at a July 12 football lights committee meeting. NEW STADIUM LIGHTS spark Marlermen Matt Joyce, Kevin Simmons and Mark McCIanahan in the huddle before the first evening home game. TUVQINI CDN TFIHIE FPIIQINIEEIIRS Installation of football lights change a dream into reality Reaching out, Dane Marti, sophomore, pulled the levers. Switches flipped forward. Electricity raced through un- derground cables, then whirled up sky reaching poles. Gradually, the blackened globes came to life and filled the dark stadium with bright showering rays. This action occurred Oct. 5, the first night home game of the season. Upon the turning on of the lights, Pioneer Booster's dream became a reality. In mid-June, Pioneer Booster's held a meeting at Kirkwood United Church of Christ for students interested in soliciting local businesses for money to finance the lights. Tax-deductible contri- butions helped pay the 335,000 to cover the lights and installation. Becky Apperson and B ll Jaeger, seniors, headed the student committee for solic- iting the area's businesses. PBI wanted the students to solicit businesses for the lights and form a committee. Getting it organized was hard over the summer, because many of the kids had daytime jobs or were on vacation, said Apperson, but it proved to be well worth it in the end. Lights - - 7

Witt' C overed with a steady flow- ing current of water, the slippery surface glided the boy down the slide. With arms stretched out he braced himself as he plunged headlong into the cool water below . . . . . . A mass of ecstatic kids pushed and shoved him, in or- der to receive a pass to see The Knack on Sept. 26 . . . . . . He thought of the recog- nition Kirkwood received be- cause of The Knack appear- ance, and remembered that some of his friends, who had attended the concert, appeared in a picture on the front page of theSt.LouisGlobeDemocrat... . . . Stretched out on a table, his arm extended, with teeth gritted and fists clenched, he donated blood to the Red Cross on Sept. 10... . . . As the leaves changed to shades of yellow and orange, he awaited Oct. 5, and the first night football game . . . . . . Toward the end of first quarter, wearing fangs and a black cape, he participated in the .traditional Halloween an- tics of seniors . . . . . . Balancing on a rickety ladder, he taped red and white streamers on a wall in the LRC hallway for the traditional Tur- key Day decorations . . . . . . Winter break came and went. Plans for spring break took shape . . . . . . VaIentine's Day left him broke, after sending secret ad- mirers lollipops . . . . . . Final exams completed and school out, he once more slid down the slippery slide into the water below. Ah, he thought, summer at last! BLOOD, TAKEN FROM John Echols, helps the Fted Cross reach its goal of 200 pints dur- ing an emergency drive in September.
