They took first in the Normandy Tourney, and then first in the Webster Tournament defeating Webster, Clayton, and Normandy. Next K. H. S. trounced Central! Iennings, and Lutheran to take top honors in the State Regional. Then came the entry into the Annual State Tournament and K. H. S. detected Poplar Bluff, Hannibal, and St. Louis U. High. The eventful playoff in which K. H. S. tied the score went into two over- time periods when Joplin administered sudden death in the second overtime period and K. H. S. took second place. Dom Finch, who made the All State team! established c: new record of 34 points in the State Tourney.

The outcome of twelve wins and three losses paves the way for em outstanding AH team in the future. These boys: Campbell, Koprovica, McClcmahan, Abbott, Kleboit, Trask, and Hendrick, are known for their fight and endurance; this, plus encouragement from Coach Lenich, enabled the Junior Pioneers to trounce almost all of their Suburban League competitors. The B tectm entered the Maplewood Tournament this year in which they suffered one of their three losses, but nevertheless, they took third place. The boys of this year's B squad, who are known around K. H. S. for their CIH-otround athletic ability, make the future look brilliant for Kirkwood's teams and we hope that their spirit will ccrrry K.

Our forefathers depended upon an enlightened and tree citizenry to carry out their plans for self government and today it is the Student gonna!!! aim of the Student Council to represent the students of K.

Accordingly, the super- vision of the COfridOTS, the development of the Snack Bar, and the sponsoring of the pep assemblies, as well as the assistance at P. T. A.

Depicting the democratic way of life Page Eighiy-one 7k Sender; ?cmd Music wakes the soul, and hits it high, And wings it with sublime desires, And tits it to bespeuk the Deity. 7Addison. No one can hope to have a true culture Ctrld a broad education without Ct knowledge of music. For music gives inspiration freed from all world- liness and is Ct definite need of mom; therefore an individuai's life is far richer and better it its influence is made possible. With this motive in mind it is the objective oi the Kirkwood Band to raise the standards of music in our school and in the community. Throughout the year there are numerous activi- ties in Which the band engages. Many are the times that the stirring music of the band leads our teams on to victory. The magnificent per- formances in the various assemblies as well as the Christmas and spring concerts are always well received. As one of the outstanding musi- cal organizations in the county, our band always receives exceptional ratings at the County Music Festival under the direction of Mr. Burton Isaac. Kirkwood is truly proud of its fine band! BAND Fiutes: Lindenshmidt, Westberg, Risley, Secy.-Treas.; West. Clarinets: Rockwood, Miller. Webber, Icnes, Schumacher, Leisher.

Music should have a reod port in every life. The greater part of the time of most people is given up necessarily to material thingsito struggle for a comfortable livelihood. However, in a democratic order we find that those ele- ments are sadly needed which can import and lift the mindobove sordid things, and make clear the possibility of a larger lite. Under the fine directorship of Mr. Burton Isooc, the Senior High Orchestra has achieved 7h 5min Othza this goal. This group, like our own democracy, had 0t humble beginning, but has worked until now it has attained ot position as one of the iinest orchestras in the county. Among other achievements, there was the traditional Christ- mos concert, which won the group much praise. The Music Festival in the spring, which is annually attended by many county music groups, was the peak of the year's accomplish- ments. These gfcmd performances represent many hours of practice and hard work, which are necessary to the successful existence of any institution.

Accordingly, each day finds the Junior High endeavoring to de- velop their musical talents under the direction of Mr. Isaac. Their efforts are finally rewarded in such performances as the Christmas and Spring Concerts, County Musical Festival, and assemblies, With the hope of eventually occu- pying the first places in the Senior High Band. gambit awkwm The love for music is ever developing at K. H. S. This year marks the organizing of a new unit, the Junior High Orchestra. Under the direction of Mr. Robert Meszko twenty-tour high-spirited juniors meet every day during fourth period to master the skills of music. As in the Junior Band, these beginners learn by doing, gaining practical experience before becoming members of the Senior Orchestra. Junior music in review Page Eighty-four :4 6Wea4 gm Music, wrote Carlyle! is well said to be the speech of angels. This definition serves to emphasize the difference between music and ordinary, unharmonious sounds. The casual passerby who approaches room 5N during second period may sometimes pause to won- der over this definition, yet the choir ccm cd- wqys be counted on to give c1 commendable performance when concert time comes. The Choir this year has presented programs cxt the annual Teachers' Convention, P. T. A. meetings, the Christmas concert and assem- blies, the Spring concert, and the January and June graduationsi Through participating in these programs, the students are gaining ex: perience in a more perfected type of choral music under the direction of Miss Todd.
