Spring Cleaning
by Claire Salzman
April 25, 2012
Wake up and smell the pollen, we are in the midst of spring. Personally, I’m struggling with the remaining month and a half of the year until freedom rings May 24. To cope, I’ve taken on Spring Cleaning, which has helped me endure the torturous weeks leading up to summer. When I say Spring Cleaning,... Read more »
Read novels, not texts
by Antonia Akrap
April 25, 2012
While the only type of text read these days is a text message, the excitement of getting lost in a book rather than winky faces from the attractive new kid have sadly started to fade. But picking up the latest novel (i.e. The Hunger Games) has much more value to the brain than people think. New neuroscience... Read more »
Change of date creates prom-blems
April 25, 2012
Beginning this year, prom will take place May 12 rather than the previous date of May 19. As a result, prom night falls only two days before the first day of AP testing. Many students going to prom and also taking an AP test find a problem with this date change. In a 39-3 vote, The Kirkwood Call decided... Read more »

I started shaving in seventh grade. Until sophomore year, I kept a bald chin, but always thought I had the capability of growing some sort of “beard.” I saw upperclassmen with ‘staches, sideburns and goatees and thought “everybody should have facial hair like that.” Facial hair, after all,...

A less-than-hairy situation
By Joe Weber
March 12, 2012
When I was a freshman, I dreamed of having a beard. I admired the upperclassmen who sported everything from goatees to chin straps, and I prayed that by senior year I’d be developed enough to at least rock a soul patch.
