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!
