Just call Norma Schumacher Little Miss Red Riding Hood. It seems she asked Earl Bitters where Wolfe Studio is. In answering he innocently asked, Is that where you take wolf lessons? My, what a funny sense of humor you have, grandma! I-Iave ya' seen the new sports CU caps Jimmy Richey, Don Hortman, Jim Johns, Keith Wolfram, Bucky Staggs, and Bob Comer, the glamour boys, are wear- ing? Pretty sharp, eh? Yep, we think so, too. But when Don Hortman and Jim Johns wear a cap of one plaid and a shirt of another plaid-well, how about a nice pair of striped overalls and some polka-dot socks, boys? Do ya' s'pose Bill Cuzner thinks bandages are be- coming to him? First an elbow-then his head-now an ankle-he really takes those song lyrics, Discon- nect dem bones seriously. Flip! Flap! Flip! Flap! No, it's not a clown in those big shoes. lt's poor little Joan Harstel who absent- mindedly left her gym shoes at home. She knew she'd have to have a pair or get an F for the day so she just up and borrowed Bob lIendrickson's. She almost had enough room to put the gym class in her shoes instead of vice versa. Necessity is the mother of invention or if you don't have a bed make che is the motto of Bonnie Rea. Bonnie was having trouble finding a bed at Clara Morris's slumber party recently so Cinventivel Bon- nie grabbed Donna Linebaugh's blanket and curled up on the coffee table. We hope her feet didn't hang over. Did ya' hear about-Pat Williams and Pat Young running down Ludlow Street in the rain carrying their shoes-Nancy Harmuth serenading the Leo Street bus passengers with a chorus of I'm Movin' On ? We aren't really clever, Not like a fox, But if ya' wanta hear more, LUilU.Zl'l' ? Miss Whozit, pictured above, hid- ing behind a pretzel, was born in Dayton, October 1, 1935, and has lived here ever since. Being a soph- omore, she's in home room 101. This mysterious lass is 5 feet 3 inches tall, weighs 108 pounds and has short brown hair and hazel eyes. During 3A lunch period Miss Whozit eats at Hartels with pals Jackie Campbell, Betty Avery, and Catherine Gilmore. She calls 8 Hall Avenue home, and ,HE 1502 her phone number. Age 17, height 5 feet 1055 inches, weight 165 pounds, first-string half- back, and a junior at Kiser are a few of the statistics concerning the handsome profile pictured with Miss Whozit. He claims Houston, Texas, as his birth place, having first hon- ored that city December 27, 1932. Mr. Whozit keeps his strength up by eating a huge plate lunch at Kuntz's 3C lunch period. Activity period finds this lad in room 113, while after school you'll find him at 2051 Valley Pike. You still don't know who they are? Well, take a look in the ads. 9 iety Cycle .

During the course of the evening a couple of dozen Kiser fans drifted in and out, stuffing themselves with sand- wiches, pop and potato chips. By the way we'd like to bid goodbye and good luck to Donna Belle who has since withdrawn. Newsless Blues Say, all you Kiserites having par- ties, wiener roasts, dances, and other such doings, don't keep all your fun to yourselves. Via the Panther Box let us in on what's going on. We wanna hear! Slumbering Studes September 16, Clara Morris gave a slumber party at her home for several senior girls. Those eating cheeseburgers till six in the mom- ing were. Doris Ann Sharp, Judy Brookey, Louise Avery, Jo Ann Da- vis, La Verne Brown, Donna Line- baugh, Bonnie Rea, and Marilyn Saum. Also entertaining guests through a long and sleepless night was Theda Miller. Congregating at her home September 2, were Pat Vance, Shirley Bockrath, Mary Jo Hay- worth, and Shirlee Parnell. -- -7f.a,'f..f. .az-az ,ai-La. Do you ever Boondoggle in study hall? Oh, but I never would do anything like that, you may answer. For instance when you were reading the sports page in the newspaper instead of getting your current event, or the time you couldn't put the fall cleaning of your purse off until after class. This is referred to as Boon- dogglingf' In fact, I'm in doubt whether the person sitting next to you, ,thinks there is an artistic manner in the way you draw doddles in your notebooks and play tit-tat- toe on the same paper as your science homework. Also day-dreaming about the wiener roast sched- uled for tomorrow night or the dance to be held at the Y.W.C.A. won't make the events happen sooner. In the future the dictionary could be helpful if con- centration would be used in looking for the words. Filing and manicure of the nails is another favorite pastime. Incidentally, the pictures in several magazines seem to rate with most of the boys. Wasn't that an English book that. traveled around study hall and eventually ended in the -xyaste paper basket? I - Now, answer the question whether or not you have ever Boondoggled ? .1 Well, we were wondering why it is becomingisq crowded in study hall, seventh period. Could those' people be Kiser Boondogglers?-J. C. PUHTRAIL NORMA SCHUMACHER .... Norma's both a stu- dent and a teacher! Six periods a day she is a student but when she leaves school she becomes a teacher- at the Miami Valley Conservatory of Music where she has a policeman in one of her piano classes. She also plays the accordion in her leisure time. Norma intends to go to the University of' Cincinnati next September, where she will take a course in nurs- ing and education. If she keeps her present pace she will emerge with both B.S. and R.N. degrees. Norma likes any scientific subject and en- joys working in the office the sixth period. A little tap on the shoulder was Norma's greatest thrill. It came last year when she was named a mem- ber of the National Honor Society. Her biggest disappointments were: not going to Michigan last summer for her vacation and when Kiser lost to Chaminade last fall.

If you saw the Kiser-Lima football game last year you witnessed Gatlin's greatest thrill, scoring his first varsity touchdown. That was his first, but hardly the last for the grid season had just begun. Against Troy, playing left half, he scored one of the two touchdowns. It was his love of football that caused him to become known as glass jaw. He spent the greater part of the eighth grade with a painful broken jaw. He came to the Gem City from his birthplace in Graham, Kentucky, when only four years old. Home is 717 East Second Street, but Gatlin spends most of his time at Mary's. Gatlin's other love is his '41 Ford club coupe. It is a blue two-tone and it runs real good. Those who have seen his car in action probably have their own opinion. Looking at Gatlin's more studious side, homework is his hated enemy while woodwork rates tops. Next fall you might see him down Ohio University way. He wants to play college football and coach high school football, later. - Wolfe Studio Wolfe Studio

Earl Smith, :. former member of the class of '50 made the original design of the !lag.'Bruna Bier '49, changed the de- sign of the Panther and made the scale of the flag, for the American Legion who purchased it at a low cost. Paper drives, sponsored by the student council, produced suflicient money to start the fund for the school flag. A The Hag is trimmed with a gold edge, and centered with a Blue Pan- ther. Kiser High School is lettered in blue at the top. One will be able to see the flag at all of K.iser's football games displayed by the band. Yea. School is Out 21 Days This -Year Yes, that's right!

Including D. L. Sollenberger and C. E. Shannon, there are 40 faculty members. Of these 22 are men and 18 women. A Total enrollment for September, 1949 was 904 while enrollment for this term is 924, an increase of 20 students. Nineteen of the Student Council Sponsors Drive Kiser opens its 1950 Community Chest Drive October 10, Student Council, under the direction of Wil- liam Stover, advisor, will sponsor the drive. Kiser's band, under the direc- C tion of J. R. 'A Thunn, will take ,X an active part in the program. At the Kiser-Stivers' I game, October 6th, , i the band is to 57 demonstrate how the Red Feather Agencies help family welfare and give services to youth. 5 According to D. L. Sollenberger, principal, a special assembly will be held featuring a Community Chest film, E Pluribus Unum. The total amount collected at Kis- er is to be presented by a student October, 19, in the Biltmore Hotel at a Community Chest School Day luncheon. 5 The city wide drive ends October 20 were girls. Presently enrolled m Kiser are 501 girls and 423 boys while in '49 there were 482 girls and 422 boys. Freshman class is the largest with 252 divided evenly into 126 boys and 1126 girls. Last year's freshman class was also the largest for that year with 120 boys and 14.2 girls. These figures total 262 or 10 more than are enrolled now. Smallest class of the year as was the case last year is the 8th grade. Sixty boys and. 74 girls constitute the list. In '49 the list consisted of 67 boys and 55 girls. Sophomores have the second larg- est class comprised of 97 boys and 120 girls. Last year's report read 86 boys and 123 girls. Ranking third in size is the junior class. Again the girls outnumber the boys 101 to 79. Girls were ahead 100 to 78 in '49. Comparing the totals we have for '1950-180 and for 1949-178. A Made up of 61 boys and 80 girls is the senior class. With a total of 141, this makes the senior class sec- ond to the smallest. Last year ine seniors numbered 81 boys and 82 JOANNE NORRIS AND THE HONORABLE CHARLES SAWYER Seven Grads Awarded Scholarshipsg 'Joanne Norris Attains Merit Award Seven Kiser graduates have received scholarships to various colleges in Ohio during the past stunmer. Four graduates of the class of '50 will attend the University of Cincinnati with the aid of scholarships. James Randall, one of the four, was awarded the S1000 Deeds scholarship through the N. C. R. The other three graduates are Tom Cooper, Jerry Mann, and Lyle Gordon. Each of these boys took an aptitude test. As a result Jerry and Tom received a scholarship for one year and Lyle received a scholarship valued at 5350. Martha Hunter was awarded a one year scholarship to attend Sinclair College in Dayton. Alan Berg and Tom Sefton took competitive examina- tions, the former won S800 to attend Ohio State and the latter received a scholarship to Otterbein College. The Commission for Rehabilitation has offered to pay tuition for Oda Wilkey to attend Bowling Green. The Lion's Club will pay his room and board. Pictured above is Joanne Norris '48, being congratulated by Hon. Charles Sawyer, Secretary of Commerce. Joanne received the Secretarial Merit Award from Miami-Jacobs College. - 26. 5 girls or all together 143. waz. .e.y.-.e.a. .4 Wm Wfanikia-ut Supply faughtf nz.. n..e.4.....z 9 ' - Did you ever walk up to someone in a department store, ask a question and not receive an answer? I'll agree with you that some of those manikins look almost realg but they've supplied us with a lot of laughs. You know, some people really mistake those dummies I suppose that some of you have witnessed or maybe even experiencd the battle between people and dummies. You've seen those people who never miss a thing they walk past, well, saw a whopper of a shopper. Busy with her buying, she bumps into some- thing, and there lying dormant on the floor, is a manikin. The :frightened lady immediately says, Oh, Pardon me Miss, as she stoops to help her up. And then there was the time when a mean little boy decided to investigate the situation. His first act was to remove a stocking hom her ankle, then a hand, and finally the wig. His mother's first act was to give a very deserving smack in a very deserving place. Last year John Powers, from the Powers Modeling Agency, brought his live manikin with hhn from New York. Don't think I'm off my beam, he really has live dummies. They modeled in a downtown department store window, with their waxed faces and perfect poise. A lot of people probably questioned. their eyes when they sawthe dummies walk. .

FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 29, 1950 I . THE l'KISER PANTHER ' PAGETHREE Meet the FCLTY BY SHIRLEE PARNELL Introducing Meet the Faculty a column new to THE Krsna PANTHER. Choice for the first issue is one of Kiser's home economics teachers, Miss Edna von Berg, pictured above at one of the new stoves in her de- partment. She has been a teacher at Kiser since 1926. The University of Miami claimed Miss von Berg with a Bachelor of Science degree. She received her M.A. at the University of Colorado. While most ,of us were Hoop-de- doing-it this summer, Miss von Berg whiled away her time as manager of the dining room in a hotel in Char- levois, Michigan. Nursing heads the list of her hob- bies. One Saturday and Sunday of every month she serves as a nurse's aid. She is also a veteran traveler, with two trips abroad to her credit. Her other interests include writing, riding, and bicycling. tBut alas and alack. we shan't see her ride her two wheeler, for she has sold it.J Y -Teens Instruct Ojicers Sophomores, juniors, and seniors combined their ideas for the first Y-teen meeting of the year and came 'up with the plan of YW-Ca- Key, the officers' training camp, Sep- tember 19. The plan is to send the president and two other officers to week-end camp where they will be instructed in parlimentary procedure and'ways to improve their club. Presidents who will attend camp this year are Carolyn Sower, soph- omore, and Pat Young, junior. Sen- iors at present are without a presi- dent. Newllirophy Case Shelters 33 ld ' wards For Proud Kiser Students Did you see the new trophy case? Well, it's all ready to display Kis- er's coming trophies in addition to the .33 acquired in previous years. Jim Johns, pictured at the right, looks dubiously at the trophy case while Don Hortman points out the big K made out of blue and gold Kiser pins. A feature most students would not recognize by glancing are the removable shelves. Look again, guys and gals, you will see that there is plenty of room to adjust them for the larger trophies yet to be won. In order to see Kiser's many prize possessions, the workmen installed blue fluorescent lighting on the in- side of the case. 200 Books Added To Kiser Library Kiser's school library has 200 new books on its shelves, ready for cir- two culation. In addition to these, new sets of encyclopedias have also been added to the collection of ref- Pic- erence volumes, Compton's tured Encyclopedia, and World Book Encyclopedia. In the lighter vein students will find 'the following interesting read- ing: Going Steady -Emery, Stor- ies for Youth -Lass, Another Spring -Eyre, Punt Formation - Harkins, Fielder from Nowhere - Sholz, With a Feather on My Nose -Burke, This I Remember -Roos- evelt, Blondes Prefer Gentlemen -4Daly, Off to College -Emerson, and Look Out for the Ostriches - Jutaf A complete list of all new addi- DON l-IORTMAN AND JIM JOHNS Newcomers and visitors, catching only a first glance of the new attrac- tion, might be astounded at the many trophies. On second thought they might be seeing double. Then looking twice they notice mirrors on the back and sides of the case. Toward this project, the graduat- ing class of 1918 donated S270 and the class of '19i9 gave 3125. Credit for the remaining S4221 goes to all loyal Kiserites through the Maga- z7ne Campaign of 1950. Adding this brings 3616, which was the total cost. The former trophy case will be used as a display center for home- economics, art, or any other class project or activity.
