BY CARRIE BARTLETT It seems like just yesterday that our countdown was some outrageous number like 130. Now, today, Padre Island, sun, sand, the ocean, and all the guys, are only 1 7 days away. It all came together tonight. I was at lsenior1Margie's lLeyheJ house with the nine other girls going with me. Our travel agent, Mrs. ICzLssy1LeGear, brought us our plane tickets. along with tellmg us helpful information about the island. Occasionally one of the parents would throw out a statement like, I think each of you girls should pack two rolls of toilet paper in your suitcase. Toilet paper was the least of our worries. We concentrated more on the doughnuts making their way around the room. We are all on diets so we'll look good in our suits, said Kelly lBrown, seniorl. Mrs. lJeanneJ Leyhe had all of this good food, and only the parents ate it. At the meeting I started thinking about how spring break really motivates me. Like this afternoon. I thought about walking down the beach, and I promptly went to Modern Fitness to work out. It seems like everytime I go there I see more people from Kirkwood who have just joined. Tonight, Kelly Goggin Uuniorj was there taking a low-impact aerobics class. I could never take a high-impact class, she told me. I'd die! I felt like I had died after my class. On my way home I heard a report about Super Tuesday. Being the non-political type I switched it, but when I got home my mom had the radio on. George Bush won 1 6 out of the 1 7 Republican states. On the Democratic side, Michael Dukakis won the mzyority, Albert Gore was second, and Rev. Jesse Jackson was third. I thought it was sad that Dick Gephardt won only Missouri. his home state. I wanted him to do better, because he is the only one I know much about. A lot of my friends were pretty confused about who to vote for. It was pretty exciting voting for the first time, said Tabitha Latt, senior. I went with my parents, and we all voted for Gephardt. Tabitha was the first person that I talked to who voted for him. Jenny Mueller Iseniorj, a total Republican was walking around with a vote Bush button on all day. Nichole lChristopher, senior! said to her, 'T would rather have a rash then wear that button. Then they got in a debate about politics. I never realized that people my age were so interested in governmental affairs. N Witchopera's Bowl echoes through the band room as Robby Babel, senior, practices his. tenor sax for the Aim Dinner Dance, which took place March 19. Travel arrangements for spring break draws senior Kelly Brown's attention to plans that Ciss LeGear, t f J ' Travel. outlines? agen rom an S A Day in the Month of...March O if-f x ...QQ , . ek

The replacement of steam locomotives with more advanced diesel units provided a Turkey Day trophy, the Frisco Bell. Mr. Robert Stone, vice president of the Frisco Com- pany railway lines, offered former principal Murl Moore a brass bell from one of the steam locomotives that the company would no longer use. Moore and Stone had lived for several years in the 1930's in the same apartment complex in University City, and when Stone offered the trophy in 1954 for the annual game, Moore was flattered. I hadn't talked to him in months, so I was surprised, said Moore. Needless to say I accepted readily. This token of friendship became the traditional and coveted trophy of the game--the Bell. It came as mys- teriously as it went. The Litt1e Brown Jug, the consola- tion prize in the annual Turkey Day game, disappeared in 1976 while in the possession of the Webster States- men. No one knows the origin of the jug. According to Murl Moore, former prin- cipal, the schools exchanged the jug before Kirkwood ac- quired the Frisco Bell 1n 1954 lllllljlllllI 8 Turkey Day QM
