I said so long but here I am back to give the latest dope on the senior activities. In honor of the class of 1951, I devote my column to them and theirs. Play Ball? ! This was the cry heard at the senior picnic held at Triangle Park, May 15. The program consisted of playing various games, eating and dancing. Norma Williams was general chairman of the affair. LovelEest Night of the Year! This was the Jr.-Sr. Farewell held May 18 at Wampler's Barn.

Auditorium, we will find five married women among them. It was Dec. 20th when Pauline Remmert became Mrs. Bob Shiflet while La Verne Brown changed her name to Mrs. Jerry Warren, February 26th. Donna Line- baugh turned Mrs. Charles Verburg, March 3, and Judy Brookey alias Mrs. Bill Lehmen was married May 12. Thelma Bowers was married about two weeks ago. Her new name is Mrs. Pete Slonaker. She's Engaged! And so are several senior gals run- ning around the dear halls of Kiser. Louise Avery is lugging around the diamond of Bob Raby '48, Staking a claim to Ray Dilworth is Doris Webb while Barbara Towson has her clutches on Bob Coates. Only one male member of the class of '51 is engaged. He is Dick Feicht and his intended spouse is Shirley Hoelle. .. ...,.. Dale Drake Steady Couples! Only graduating couples going steady are Helen Albee and Bob Bremer, Jeanette Keith and Dale Drake, but many other seniors go steady with guys and dolls from other schools, etc. Dis Is It! Yes, tonight's the night for the Bon Ami Ball which will be held at the Miami Hotel. Tomorrow is the grand finale at N. C. R. Auditorium at 8 p.m. when Kiser seniors become Kiser alumni. -3' . f i HU! p . ii' 5 A if I . v , K S 1, BY BROWN AND BURN.: We've had more fun! Your senior year is great. Maybe we shoulda studied But brother, now it's too late. Just a little reminiscing-after the sen'or class play Cheaper By The Dozen the cast presented Mrs. Gar- net S. Deem with Cya' guessed itll a dozen red roses . . . Bill Stahl drinkin' out of a baby bottle on the stage . . . Rex Jackson thinkin' someone said his grandmother was a drunkard instead of a Dunkard . . . Guffey, Lents, Recher, and the other members of the Kn ghts of the Oblong Table. Tennis Anyone? We've heard of people gettin' spring fever but in our opinion Bob Mittler's got about the worst case we've seen. One of his dear friends CD asked Bob if he sang lst bass, 2nd bass or shortstop Cof course, referring to his singing of the senior song, The Battle Hymn of the Republicuj. I don't s'ng any of those, quoth Bob, l sing tennis. And belfeve us, he wasn't tryin' to be funny. And to think he plays golf. Darris Forgy is sure gonna' make some man a nice wife, 'cause he's really handy with the household hints. The other mornin' he borrowed some scotch tape from Miss Tuhey and wrapped it around two fingers with the sticky side out. With this arrangement he began to rub the collar of his suit coat and commenced tget the b'g words, will ya'l to clear off all the lint. All year long we've known a little girl who would like to see her name in print and since she's a senior and this is the senior Panther we will oblige her-Miss Patricia Ann Anthony. You're welcome, Pat. Seems to us Bob Rasey got into the wrong lfne the other night at the Jr.-Sr. Prom. He got in line to take his turn at kissing Queen Kathleen Renshaw but when he got at the head of the line he found he was kissing King Jim Peck. Oh well, once in a lifetime. tThank heavens, eh what, Peck'?J It's a bird! It's a plane! No, it must be a basketball 'cause Don Hortman is makin' baskets with it. Oh, now we seewifs poor Glen 0verstake's shoe! No wonder he was limpin' at march'n' practice. Gym Antics-Ken Tomashot must have tho't he was a monkey playin' on the ladders in the gym-Bill Cuzner was as snug as a bug in a rug when fagainst h's wishesj his fellow classmates rolled him up in one of the mats. New versions of the pledge to the flag and Lord's Prayer have been made by Stella Wilson and Paul Brigner. Other mornin' after the pledge to the Hag Stella said Amen. In 112 Paul got thru read'n' the Bible and started sayin' the pledge to the fiag. That may not sound so bad-but everyone else was sayin' the Lord's Prayer. Oh, well, two too d zzy senors. We hate like heck to leave ya', But we just gotta go 'n th's time we won't be back To write for you no mo! ! The greatest stumbling block in the path of most men usually is not laziness or fear but a tight-skirted, low- necked, sultry-voiced, diamond-decked, perfumery- scented vamp called utnmorrowf' 70461 Jilaae We The feeling of belonging, the knowledge of accon plishing something, the confidence of being an ind vidual, a certain degree of intelligence--these are few of the things we have gained from four years 1 high school. These years of our life have been ti fullest, the best, the most worthwhile and the lea. forgettable. They are the years over which we wi think back and remember. Our first year of high school was a mixture 4 bewilderment, mischief, doubt and hope. We were bi wildered by being thrown in with various classes 4 people. Previously we were accustomed to one rac one religion, one class. Now we shared lockers wit boys and girls of different faiths. The next day's assigr ment was copfed from a Negro classmate. Students froi poor families ate lunch with those of wealthier one Intolerance and prejudice resulted in mischief on oi part and left a doubt in our mind. However, graduatic was in the future and we hoped for the best. Our second year was somewhat easier. We relaxe a little and began developing our personalities ar talents. Not all of us were on the dance committees 1 in the assemblies, but we all participated in some activii we were interested in. In short, we were fast becomir individuals with distinct characteristics. Passing our subjects and acquiring enough credits wa foremost in our minds in our junior year of high schoc We had, however, by this time fitted in with our cla. and really belonged. At long last, we have reached the cl'max, our fouri and final year. Realization of accomplishing our go has come upon us and we know that we have bee extremely lucky. We view the future unhesitating. with the security of a well-rounded education behind u We have had a great deal of fun during these pa four years but we have also learned a great deal. NI necessarily in the sense of the three r's but in le. tangible things. How to get along with other peopl for instance, or how to compromise and try to undei stand the opinions or viewpoints of others. Many problems will confront us in the rdult wor but we can f ace them without fear, knowing that we a' not only high school graduates but citizens of the worlf , .... .. . -1FtE'Kr5ER l .

'Loyalty To Freedom' Chosen Theme Of Senior Commencement Tomorrow Loyalty to Freedom is the commencement theme chosen for the class of '51 graduation exercises at 8 p.m. tomorrow at the NCR auditorium.

Ofiice jobs seem to be the most ipular with girls, while no certain pe of company employs a large ajority of the boys. Other jobs that girls hold include isitions in department stores, res- urants, grocery stores, and at the elephone Co. The boys earn their spending Jney by working in department Jres, grocery stores, theaters, and keries. More girls belong to Y-Teens than any other two clubs put together. Sixteen girls belong to SFI CSocial Flops, Inc.J and 12 to Bon Ami, two clubs which are active outside of the school. There are nine boys in the Kiser Hi-Y. Highest ranking outside clubs are Bon Ami and Beta Eta Eta Roe. Sports proved to be the favorite activity of the boys. There are only six girls who gave sports as their major outside activity. These six in- clude four cheerleaders and two majorettes. son's First Inaugural Address, by Bob Rasey, and last a quotat.on taken from one of Justice Oliver Wendell Holmes' most famous cases by Bob Marlow.

Guliey Receives Science Award George Gufiey '51 was selected to receive the Bausch and Lamb Hon- orary Science Award this year.

To be eligible for the award a student must have proven dependa- bility and character, high scholastic standing in science, ability to proceed with research, and completed two semesters of biology, chemistry, and physics. Because the award is distributed nationally and presented in high schools in every state, this bronze medal has attained wide recognition as an incentive to students of science.

This was to be the scene of the best years of our life. Launched upon our freshman year was a total of 255 frosh. Keeping to tradition, the g'rls outnumbered the boys 155 to 100. The newness of Kiser was shared not only by us but also by Miss Jones and Mrs. Deem, who entered Kiser for the first t'me. It was not until three years later, though, that we were to come into :ontact with Miss Jones in the form mf civic: and social problems. It wasn't long until we were all en- Lhused with football, especially when nur frosh football te-am hopped off ,o a good start in the city freshman 'ootball league by trampl'ng Wilbur Nr'ght 19-13 at Athletic Field, Sep- ember 1. As frosh we were not only active n sports but also in clubs, with Har- iet Perry, Phyllis Magid and Beverly fheisen being the only charter mem- iers of the F. T. A. When the Y- eens became active again they lected as president Sue Fisherg Vice 'resident, Doris Sarpg Secretary, Lois Torkg Treasurer, Barbara Taylor. 'reshmen boys taken into K. M. P. O. were Don Hortman, Kenneth Gerkin, .eroy Combs, Edward Carr and Dick Lesilman. Judy Brookey was elected Blass iii '5I ShaIfgWl'gui'1fIRQeltiqg Year secretary of K. D. A. A. For the first time at Kiser the freshman class had freshmen cheer- leaders. Those participating were: Max'ne Brown, Betty Lou Anderson, Jean Allbee, Beverly Theisen, Jo- Ann Davis and Judy Brookey. Bas- ketball season saw Don Hortman playing varsity in his freshman year. These activities plus the daily grind helped complete the first flaming page in our h'gh school history. SOPHOMORE YEAR Energetic and spirited, the class was impatient to participate in the aris'ng activities which were to come to them as sophomores. In our midst were three sophomore football play- ers: Bob Bremer, Jim Morgan, and Don Hortman. During the fall P.-T.A. membership drive, Mr. Hendrickson was assisted by Phyllis Roemer, Jack Schlorman, Maxine Brown, Connie Burns, and Bob Rasey. When the Stadium Fund Drive was under way, sophomore representative was Con- nie Burns. Distinguishing himself as a champ member of the Y. M. swimming team was Fred Chesley. Another Y. M. function, the tumbling team, was as- sisted by Gary Scott. As fall came on sophomore cheerleaders were Connie Burns and Maxine Brown. To Lois Hoefer and La Verne Brown came the privilege of working on the Y- Teen formal assisting the invitation chairman. The first Y-Teen play pre- sented was A Rajah's Romance with Kiser members: Barbara Tay- lor, Elaine Guy, Sue Fisher, Kathy Renshaw, Oretha Bailey, Pat Flohre, Donna Linebaugh, Lois Hoefer, Rose- mary Roberts, and Maxine Brown. But the boys, Jim Morgan and Bob Rasey, weren't far behind with their plans for the Hi-Y prom on the in- vitation and program committee. S'nce that year Bob Rasey has held the posit'on as Hi-Y chaplain. Plans for a new school flag were approved by a Student Council com- mittee of four, including Kathleen Renshaw. Boosting Kiser's reputation in sports in '49 was Don Hortman, breaking a discus record held by his brother Roy Hortman, '47, Kiser Bi- ologists Oretha Bailey, Norma Wil- liams, Elsie Rollins, Norma Schu- macher and Harold Reecher proved that germicidal lights kill bacteria during an experiment at Mad River School. Having been chosen as out- standing sophomores, Connie Burns and Jim Morgan were awarded the American Revolution Medal. At the Jr.-Sr. Farewell Prom, one of the highlights of the year, Oretha Bailey, Mary Walton, Bonnie Rae, and Pat Flohre were asked to serve. Betty Anderson and Jim Morgan were 10 , 2.7 23 Ili Froliv And vw. . ., A vo FW 1 2.9 A-so Biiocu Cef'wau.n. I Hardwork selected to represent the sophomore class. Our last social function of the year was under the supervision of Wm. Stover, Jim Morgan and Joyce Cooke. This was our first endeavor at organization and proved to be a unique success when the sophomores held a picnic at Triangle Park. JUNIOR YEAR We arrived on a bright September morning, all 177 of us, to find a change of atmosphere. Freshly paint- ed walls, new inlaid tile floors, and even the sight of new books, con- tributed to our sunny dispositions. The Panther was awarded top journalistic honors. Members of the Panther staff included: Judy Brookey, Sue Fisher, Jim Morgan, Elaine Guy, Barbara Taylor, Joan Dowling, La Verne Brown, Clara Morris, and Marilyn Saum. Those serving as officers in the student council were: Jim Morgan, vice-president, and Don Hortman, sgt-at-arms. Y-teen officers: President, Oretha Bailey: vice-president, Barbara Tay- lor: secretary, Pauline Remmert: treasurer, Bonnie Rea: and sgt.-at- arms, Jo-Ann Davis. Kenny Renshaw, Darris Forgy, and Bill Cuzner were invited into the Hi-Y. CContinued on Page 101
