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. Nurse Gladys Kalisch prepares Echols before at- tending to a grimacing Jeff Comparato. Student Life - - 9

Paus- for awhile to soak up sun, mbers of the Kirkwood tist Youth Group relaxed enjoyed the refreshing eze. 'The float trip was fun be- llse I got to be with my nds and we had a great e, said Alison Orton, ju- r. thers found inner tubing a re exciting way of traveling the water. 'Inner tubes were a lot of Land they didn't tip over as ily as canoes, said Sue l like sports in the summertime because there are c Iot more activities to choose from. --Amy Mote Orchard, junior. Swimming was another way of beating the sweltering summer heat. While some took it up for pleasure or for a suntan, other swimmers par- ticipated on local swim teams. l liked being on a swim team during the summer, said Jan Lischer, member of the Treecourt Swim Team. lt was fun because I could com- pete with other people and I dldn't just sit around. Not all summer sports took place in water. Softball enthu- siasts took part in Khoury League or church teams. Baseball fans also wit- nessed a history-making event at Busch Stadium on Aug. 13 as St. Louis Cardinal Lou Brock, in his last season of baseball, achieved his three- thousandth hit, thus adding to his many records. Keith Hernandez and Gary Templeton also played well for the baseball Cardinals. Hernandez won the league batting title with a .344 aver- age, and Templeton was the first switch-hitter ever in baseball to bang out 100 hits from each side of the plate. During summer vacation, many students found activi- ties to occupy their time. Whether it be for competition or pleasure, most indicated they enjoyed what they were doing.
