fl'MB 1,: ' . 'PAGE Two g THE KISER PANTHER Jlelp eww -me Kdlm! Today in a land of freedom, happiness, and justice it is hard to believe that there are people who aren't happy, and think that they are not receiving justice. These people are deprived of privileges by a killer. This killer preys on the unsuspecting. He stalks in the daylight when little children are playing house or in the nighttime when they are sleep- ing or when happy cherubs are playing in a beautiful pool of water. Underneath the beauty there is an ugli- ness that neither you nor I can see. He is an unknown killer. This killer is sly and always leaves his mark. Some- times the damage isn't as great as other times and then it is up to us to help these victims. Who is this mur- derer you are asking? His name is Infantile Paralysis, nicknamed Polio. He is one of today's worst cripplers. We pay taxes to help catch and punish criminals but some of us can't dig deep enough to stop a killer that is much more dangerous than most of our worst mur- derers. We can't dig deep enough to help a little child get up. And don't say that it can't happen to you. Polio knows no such thing as race, creed, or color. Do unto others as you would have them do unto you. Dig! Dig! Dig! Give to your Community Chest. ' P0ll'l'li!ll'l' BY SUE FISHER Newly appointed circulation manager of the Kiser Panther is Barbara Ellen Taylor. She also by-lines Whozit. Coming event in Barb's journalistic future is the National Scholastic Press Assn., convention in Chicago. She went to the convention in Chicago last year with Sue and Elaine. Barbara was bom July 17, 1933 in St. Joseph, Missouri, but arrived in Dayton six months later. - Al- though she settled down at 719 Troy Street, she usually takes a jaunt through some part of the country between school terms. Last sum- mer she traveled through Califor- nia, Mexico and Montana. When not doing any of the afore ' mentioned things or in any of the afore mentioned places, Barbara can be found clerking in Schatt- sneiders, the family bakery. Sometime in the future, probably between college terms, she intends to master the art of cake decorating. - Thrill No. 1 in Barbara's life came last year when she saw Kiss Me, Kate. Thrills Nos. 2 and 3 came when she saw South Pacific and Miss Liberty in Los Angeles. Attractive looking, a good con- 1 versationalist, 5 ft. 5 in. 115 lbs., a sports-fan, and a good cook-that is Robert David Tillinger's idea of a perfect girl. For those who fit the above description and those who are just curious, here is a thumb- nail sketch of Bob. He was bom in Columbus, Feb- ruary 26, 1933, but now lives at 31 Baltimore Street. Bob is 5 ft. 11 in. tall with black hair and brown eyes. He holds the distinction of being the only F.O.D.Y. member at Kiser. A In the spring of '49, Robert pitched and won his first ball game for Kiser, Lettennan Bob will take the hill again this spring, hoping to catch some scout's eye and perhaps get a crack at the big time. Sleeping in Miss Tuhey's English class last year pro- vided Bob with his most embarrassing moment, Miss Tuhey wanted an example of anadjective that limited. Seeing .that Bob was dosing on tax-payers time she called on him. Trying to make the 'best of a bad situa- tion he' answered, Speed limit, 35 miles an hour. ' BARBARA Wolfe Studio BOB Wolfe Studio LUHDZIT ? The eyes have it! Yes, we're all agreed that Kiser has the cutest eighth graders in town. Just to prove it, here are a couple of themg On the right we have a pair of blue eyes which belong to a 5 ft. 2 in. blonde weighing 95 pounds. She and her sister, who is a senior, live at 635 Keowee Street. Eating peanut butter on bananas is Miss Whozits favorite food, a fact that amazes her friends Shirley Lam- bert and Wilma Beagle. Dial HE 5195 and you'll get this mystery lass, but Mr. Whozit may also be listening in, as he 'ls on the same line. This lad is 5 ft..tall, weighs 86 pounds, has brown hair and blue eyes. August 12 was his thirteenth birthday. He eats at Aunt Mary's with pals Don Underwood and Ken Commons at noon and at 514 Taylor Street at other times. Dayton is their home town, Mc- Guffey their grade school, and Sec- tion 81 their present classification. If you can't guess who they are, take a peek in H. R. 219 this morning or, tif you're lazyl take a look in the ads. 9 iety Cycle BY LOIS YORK Friday the 13th The fact that tonight is Friday the 13th and supposedly full of bad luck isn't going to bother those attending La Verne Brown's wiener roast.

Oh, my, didcha' ever see such an array of half-dressed gals? Sue Fisher was runnng in close competition with Deedle-Deedle Duxnplin' my son, John. She had one shoe off and one shoe on. Kathy Renshaw wanted to make sure her stockings didn't burn so she carried them with her. Georgine Karl car- ried her shoes out and when no one was looking tex- cept usb she sat down and put them on. Next time there is a fire drill jump in the showers, girls, then you're sure not to burn. , lt's a small wonder 4 ft. 8 in. Billy Garrison didn'I pass out from lack of oxygen when 6 ft. 3 in. Don Hort- man carried him around on his shoulders. We always heard that turn about is fair play, Billy. We caught ya! We know ya' did it. There's no way out. No, don't give us any excuses. We know tha1 it is BE'I'I'Y AVERY, NANCY HARMUTH, DIXIE CROOK, and JEAN POORMAN who are loosening the lids on Hartel's salt-shakers. Ugh! Grunt! Groan! Wow, look at the muscles! A weight-lifting club has been formed by Margie Bou- relle, Mary Kavalauskas, Joan Harstel, Kathleer Grusenmeyer, and Carolyn Rohrer. All we can say is- Beware all you unsuspectin' males! Does anyone know who Kiser's caveman is? Wearing a pair of leopard skin trunks, he was first-notice! enterin' the girl's locker room. One second later he wa: seen jet-propellin' himself into the boy's locker room with a very red face. Oh well,-maybe the poor guy wa: lookin' for his sister. A PREDICSHUN--Pat Williams predicted an upse over the past week-end. No sooner had she spoken than there was a big upset. Pat slipped and fell righ in the middle of the sidewalk. Now she has the weak- end. Is bein' blood sisters a new fad at Kiser? Corky Led- ford and Betty Robinson stuck their fingers until the! bled and then put their fingers together. There mus be a less painful way to be friends.

A To many people Barney Conva- lescent Hospital is merely a name. But to 30 patients who reside there it is a home, with good treatment, and a chance for the future. Barney is one of the 46 organizations the Community Chest helps to support. It was founded by Annae B. B. Gorman in 1918 to take care of the citizens of Dayton whether they could pay or not. - Rooms are decorated in pastel shades of pink, yellow and blue.

Teachers supplied by the Board of Education come in every day to help the children with their studies. No child in the house is behind in his work, in fact most are ahead of their grades in a regular school. People sometimes have the idea that once one gets an afiiiction such as polio that he is a helpless cripple all his life. This idea is wrong! While we were there we saw a boy who had just recently recovered, walking practically as well as any- one. Barney had helped this fellow through physical therapy treatments. The new building was ready for use in June, but the patients were not moved in until Sept. 5. Pictured below are some of the various afflicted persons. Lower left is a nurse helping -a little girl in a chin brace. In the middle left is a speech therapist teaching a boy the fundamentals of talking.

FRIDAY, ocToBEa 13, 1950 . . q THE KISER PANTHER . PAGETHREE, Meet the FCDLTY BY SHIRLEE PARNELL l l Do you remember Kiser's Music Department in 1937? Most of us would say no. But John R. Thunn, who came here '13 years ago, could tell us there was only a small band and orchestra. Today there are two choruses, a mixed chorus, a girl's glee club, and of course the band which we see display their talents at the football games. Attending Cincinnati University and Cincinnati College of Music, Mr. Thunn received his B.M. He then traveled to Miami University to fur- ther his studies in music and re- ceived a B.S. Pictured above he is at the console of the Hammond organ, purchased by the P.-T.A. three years ago. From 1942 to 1946 Mr. Thunn served with the Army. He entered as a Buck Private in April 1942 and advanced to the gold maple leaf of a Major in 1946. He resides at 1417 Philadelphia Dr. with his wife to whom he has been married for eight years. Mr. Thunn is proud of the barbecue pit he built in his back yard during the past summer. Directing the choir at the Otter- bein E. U. B. Church takes up a good part of Mr. Thunn's Sundays, He still finds time, however, to direct the Julienne High School orchestra. Chemistry student-One who can blow off about his blow ups.-J. B.

Kiser Panther Receives Two Top Awards Two top honor awards have been given 'Ii-is Krsna PANT.-isa this past week. An International Honor Rating was awarded by Quill and Scroll, In- ternational Honor Society for High School Journalists and the National Scholastic Press Association gave an All-American Rating to the Panther. Kiser's paper was given the high await? by Quill and Scroll as a pub- llc itlon of outstanding achievements. The Panther was juiged on its ability to inform, influence, and entertain readers, and its merit as a business enterprise. Nine hundred points out of a possible thousand were received. A similar award was won by the Panther in 1945, 1947, 1948, and 1949. Judges said, 'KThe Panther is a lively paper, both in looks and writ- ing. It is particularly good in its pic- ture array, including those in sports. Four issues from each semester are submitted to be judged. Previous awards do not have any influence in the judging. The paper is compared with others and is rated according to its standing in its class. National Scholastic Press Associa- tion has again awarded the Panther an All-American or superior Honor Rating. This award has been given to the Panther every year since 1945. The Panther received nine hundred- seventy points out of a possible thousand. Every issue of the Panther from the second semester was analyzed and rated. To make competition fair the papers are classified according to method of publication, type and enrollment of school, and frequency of publication.

Singer, Ella Fitsgerald, Becomes Jazz Star Without Vocal Lessons BY HELEN McLAURIN That Ella Fitsgerald has never had any lessons in music is one of the amazing facts about this famous jazz singer. . Ella appeared at Memorial Hall September 24, where she is pictured above being interviewed before the show. Her lucky break came when she won an amateur contest and in this way opened the door to stardom. From this small beginning Ella has risen to be a famous singer in the movies and on stage. Bursting with rhythm and jive, Ella's whole life is centered around her career. If you were to ask her favorite song or type of music she would just smile and say I love music, period. Although she usually features jazz she likes to sing any- thing from the popular hits to the old spirituals. A pg i 1 1 . lllllllllmulsm AWQH. Schedules now being arranged for Fall and Winter.
