And what was that question? Page Twenty-four need for understanding and participating in sound government. Our participation in school government is more important today than it has ever been, because it teaches us the funda- mentals of representative government. As our national congressmen must represent the peo- ple in our national government, so must our school councillors represent us, the student body, in our school government. The Student Council started the year with plans for a better informed student body and student council members. They encourage the students to suggest to their representatives ideas and plans which are sound and logical, benefitting the school as a Whole.

The members of the Keystone Chapter of the National Honor Society are chosen by the faculty for their scholarship, leadership, charac- ter, and service. Candidates must be in the upper third of their classes and a member of the ll-A, 12-B, or l2-A classes. The object of KirkWood's Chapter is to create an enthusiasm for scholarship, to stimulate a desire to render service, to provide worthy leadership, and to encourage the development of character. The officers are: President, Thad Suitsg Vice- President, Marilyn Scotty Secretary and Treas- urer, Martha Downing. This group is cap-ably directed by Miss Thelma Gregory.

On October l2 the club presented a Colum- bus Day dance. Xmas brought a party for the club members. The old Mexican custom of the Pinata was used as entertainment and each member received a gift.

S. have been very proud of the music department. Our band has always contributed a large share of good enter- tainment in assemblies as well as arousing school spirit at our football games. They have participated in many other activities as the University City Festival of St. Louis County and showed their loyalty by marching in the St. Louis Armistice Day Parade. For their excellent performance they received a citation from the Music War Council of America for service to community and country in war bond rallies, memorial dedications, and other patriotic meetings. This lusty organization numbers seventy-five and receives excellent instruction under the direction of Mr. lsaac. They are highly appre- ciative of the new red sweaters purchased for them this year by the Band Boosters. We hope that each year at Kirkwood High finds us with a desire to continue the high standards of our band. .............-. Drums along the Mo. Pac.

S. and receives enthusiastic sup- port from the student body. Loaded with power,the Pioneers embark upon ver uicfomolfz the 1945 season aiming for the district cham' pionship. Coach Borgmeier returned after a year's absence to assist Mac in a combina- tion that the boys really enjoy. The team this year consists of an infield paced by lack Richards .3lO, and Clyde Lan- genbeclc .28l, and filled out by Emil Fendler and Len Stemme, two Manchester sluggers. Roy Daegele returns to the outfield with Al l-leinz, Cliff Kniclcmeyer, Byron l-lornemann, and Art l-lebberger, freshman flash. The Pioneers have an equally powerful mound staff, starring Abe Chartrand. Brooks Burkhardt and Ray Shulte carry the rest of the load. Their battery mates are Don Early and Roy Rosenstengel. Vfith this line-up a bright season with many victories is evident. Kirlcwoods team is supported by an enviable group of fifty enthusiastic subs who promise l noble support for the teamjn years to come.

Kirkwood won the Clay- ton lnvitational Meet, placed fourth in the Uni- versity City Meet, and third in the State meet, and won two trophies for the invitational and State meets. Oliver Gatchell and Henry Christman were captains of the junior and senior divisions respectively. Mr. W'iggins and Mr. Meyer were the capable coaches directing the boys in such memorable events as: Don Redman winning over the great Stiegerneier in the high jump, Oliver Gatchell, running lOU yards ahead of everyone in the 880-the undefeated season in the dual meet: the drubbing we handed Web- ster, Colbrunn, Kingsley, and Christman win- ning all hurdle races, and Carpenter in the dashes. 1945 brings promises in Guy Steele, Oliver Zac Gatcheli, Bruce Gilbert, Bill Bachrnan, and Homer FitzPatrick, and we hope that Kirkwood will again be undefeated this year. Mr. Conk- lin will assist Mr. Wiggins this year. Nice work, fellas! Page Eighty-one 1-4,416 QS. .Mi U 'GOLF -Corby, Iensen, Rice, Barsanti, Deibel, Poteet, Moore.

GW As the warm spring weather approaches, the K. H. S. qolfers look forward to the fairways ior practice in the cominq season. The teams trained by Coach Lyons will try to live up to the enviable record of all county championship made by the team of last year. Not too many turn out for this sport, but those who do always excel. Page Eighty-two z?...,4.ff The sport-minded girls are looking forward to a fine baseball season this year. The prom- ise oi a successful season is bright and the players can be counted upon to meet their opponents with that old K. H. S. spirit. When Miss Wilker selects the outstanding nine they will uphold the Kirkwood tradition. QA 7 .fgfALLLic Mociafion The Girls' Athletic Association, popularly known as the G. A. A., is an organziation com- prised of girls from the ninth to the twelfth grades who are truly interested in sports and recreational activities. The organization tries to encourage and provide each girl an oppor- tunity to secure recreation, physical activity, and social contacts by sponsoring and promot- ing an intramural and interschool program of girls' sports, Play Days, Sports Days, and social affairs as a balance to the sedentary demands of school life. G. A. A. gives a backward dance each Feb- ruary at which time is chosen the Hatchet Man of K. H. S. He is chosen from seven candidates from the sophomore, junior, and senior classes. This year's Hatchet Man was Iohn Iordan. Another outstanding event of the G. A. A. is the May Pete with the crowning of the May Queen, always a colorful spring event. The officers of this year were: President, Carol Dependahlp Vice-President, Marion Flescheg Secretary, Doris Glauby Treasurer, Loraine Col- ston: Sergeant-at-Arms, Peggy Wright.

Every May the Kirkwood students look for- ward to the traditional crowning of the May Queen. This beautiful ceremony is sponsored by the G. A. A. who considers all the girls in the l2A and l2B classes. Members vote for twenty-seven girls who make up the maids of the court. From these twenty-seven there are seven special maids chosen who are the candi- dates presented to the school from whom the students choose by secret ballot a May Queen. This year's candidates are: Pat Harrington, Martha Downing, Pete Clark, Laura May Chris- - .,-- sl 'w , i. K' tine, Betty Malick, Carol Dependahl, lane Iohn. The May Queen shall be crowned on May l, l945, at 2:30 o'clock amid the burst of spring in our lovely schoolyard setting. Due to the tact that all business organiza- tions are pressed for time in this era of war, the Pioneer Staff finds it necessary to picture the May Maids oi l945 and the May Queen from the preceding year so that our book shall be on time. We trust this arrangement meets the approval ot the student body. . , i . f A 4 ,. Q l ' - . . S.. V. . ', , N T X s Yi' it .
