ELECT IVES In selecting his course of study, every Kirkwood High student is allowed a liberal freedom. of choice. This freely exercised privilege gives young people a chance to obtain valuable experience which may aid them in their determination of future vocations and college study. Because they receive excellent counseling, most students are spared the unpleasant- ness. of learning from experience and guided into courses for which they are best suited. But elec- tives are more than a testing ground for judgment. They fill the gap be-tween academic and home life, providing an outlet for relaxation and a chance to acquire worthwhile skills. By offering a variety of electives, K. H. S. hopes to further in every student an interest in the many facets of education. zefzcdadag zeedam a aice Page Twenty Ioan, printing mighty pretty!

ken 'dance Nipher lunior l-ligh School advisors and faculty members have the great responsi- bility of orienting the seventh grader to the new life of a high school student. The difference between grade ocnd high school environment often makes adjustment dif- ficult for some students and the sincere advice and counseling activities offered by these men and women solve many prob- lems. Through the initiation and use of the core system, teachers are better able to help- students make the transition to the junior high school type of classes. The results of the efforts made- by these people are shown by close cooperation achieved between teachers and Nipher Students. NIPHER ADVISORS Standing: Mr. Clodfelter.

MATHEMATTICS ln the preparation for future Work in scientific, in- dustrial, or professional careers, an interested student finds it necessary to delve into the study of mathe- matics and the application of its fundamentals. How- ever, the value of math extends beyond personal benefits and into the sphere of international impor- tance. lt is imperative that well informed citizens con- stitute the strength of our nation, if it is to keep astride of the complexity involved in world leadership. Through the challenge prese-nted by analyzation the student seeks to acquire this technical knowl- edge and thus is capable of translating his knowl- edge into effectiveness.
