Cole, Mrs. R. Speelman, Mrs. C. Lohrey, D. L. Sollenberger, prin- cipal, and C. Lohrey. Carl I-Iartel was not present when picture was taken. P.T.A. Launches Yearly Campaign A goal of 1000 members has been set by the P. T. A. in their annual membership drive according to Mrs. Robert Hudson, P. T. A. president. If the goal is reached it would be the highest ever recorded. The drive last year fell short of the goal of 1000, but reached 950 members. The P. T. A. each year has a project they work for. Last year they helped buy new band uniforms which will be worn next Saturday at the Dunbar game. J. C. Hendricksonh Latin teacher will head the drive here at Kiser, while room mothers will try to get parents to join. Membership this year is the same ,as last year-50 cents a person or one dollar a couple. The P. T. A. hasn't been ,able to overcome the lack of interest which is taken in it's monthly meetings. For example only 75 people were present at the first meeting and over half of them were teachers and their friends. Mrs. Hudson has some interesting programs planned. They are: October, an open house: November, Civil De- fense, December, Christmas Pro- gram, and January will be fun night. The P. T. A. invites every parent to the meetings. Senior Picnic Slated Triangle park will be the site of the senior class picnic this year to be held, Wednesday, Oct. 7. Don Thies has been selected chair- man of the picnic committee under the supervision of W. M. Stover. ,Sixty-five cents will permit any '54er to participate. All profits made will' go to the treasury. Outdoor activities such as horse- shoes, baseball, volley ball, and foot- ball will be available. For those who prefer it, recorded music will be on hand inside the large shelter. 1 -'Y Y To Be Held t Kiser Oct. 1-25 Lohrey,.

Wonderful things are in store for us in the years to come. Atomic war- fare may be the least important use of atomic energy.

Well-ll-ll We're carrying books home by the dozen. Do any of you need some spare dough? Well why not stop in at Certified Bakery? It appears that they give it away. The only catch is, that it isn't the green stuff we like. Some Kiser kids stopped in at the bakery following the Football Premier and ask if they wouldn't give them some free bread? They agreedonly to disappoint the girls by giving them dough What do you think of Ted Stradei-'s styles? Well, they had better be good because Ted is writing the column 1 ' n - h h' 'Fads, Fashions, and Facts this year. By l e way t is is the first time any boy has ever written this column. More power to you Ted! Mr. Gehring, after explaining that Marco Polo spent 17 years in the court of Kublai Kahn, asked Rome Simp- son, when Marco retumed home. Rome, not knowing the answer, yet being a bright student, answered, Sev- enteen years after he left. ' l-las anything especially funny happened around school lately? If so, why not let us know about it. For you students who are new in this school, this column is devoted to mostly humorous happenings around the school that we thinkthe rest of the school would like to know about. If you know of any why not write about it and put it in the Panther Box, located in the cafeteria. Boy! Was the Troy game ever exciting! At least Larry Guinn must have thought so. When Kiser made their first touchdown, Larry jumped up and down and clapped his hands vigorously. The only thing wrong with his enthusiasm was that he happened to have two of the football player's watches in his hands. Result? Two broken watches. Just ask Jim Bratton or Don Swihart the time and see what kind of reaction you get. ' How soon can you get to Dayton from Troy, and back? So was the question asked by Mr. Klaes and Bucky Slife Friday gefore the Troy game. Reason? It seems that in the scramble to get to Troy, live football jerseys were left behind. Result? Five football players appeared on the field a few minutes late. Mr. Klaes revealed later that they made the trip in 55 minutes. Love ls like and onion You taste it with delight 1' And when its gone you wonder L What ever made you bite? UJHIJZIT ? Ah! What do we see here? Some- one's telling surmner secrets. Do you know what they're saying and who they are? It's Mr. and Miss Whozit., Miss Whozit is a member of the Senior class, the Y-Teens, the B. A. Club and one of the eight can-can girls. She tops the scales at 115 and is 5 ft. 3 in. tall, with green eyes, brown hair, and a freckly complexion. She may be found in room 120 between 8:15 and 8:55 Cmaybel. If you happen to see Janice Jackson or Sharon Nun- nery, you'll more and likely see Miss Whozit. She has no definite plans af- ter graduation. The Senior class claims our Mr. Whozit. He plays end on the football team, guard on the basketball team, and is a member of the golf team. Mr. Whozit stands at 5 ft. 10172 in. weighs 155 pounds, with a brown burr haircut, and freckly complexion. Howie Miller, and John Guffey are usually seen with Mr. Whozit. His home room is 120. Csame as Miss Whozit'sJ. After graduation he plans to attend Ohio University and major in educa- tion. ' Do you know who the Whozits are? Hex-e's a clue: notice the ring on Miss Whozit's hand. If you don't know now, look in the ads. a P0'lLlGll'l' on E lllll BY ALENE LAMBERT ORPHA MARIE WILLIAMS-Ever hear of unusual hobbies? Well, 'Orf has topped them all with hers. It is trying to become a laugh a minute. Orf was born on July 17, 1936 in Miamisburg, Ohio, but about a year later moved to Dayton. Now she lives at 1214 Lima Place and her tele- phone number is MI 3559. Being an active member of the Y- Teen club, of which she was presi- dent in her junior year, she is treas- urer of the Student Council and secretary-treasurer of the Honor Society. Happiest moment in Orpha's life was when her mother first told her she no longer had to wear leggings. Then, too, she was real happy when she was chosen to be one of the eight varsity cheerleaders. ORPHA Wolfe Studio Most embarrassing moment in her life was when she had to tell a waiter in a Chinese restaurant she didn't care for rice. Hailing from Webster, when Orf first entered the halls of Kiser, her thoughts were of being a big girl now. KEITH ALLEN BANKE- Prexy. That seems to be the favorite and ideal name for Keith as he is president of the Sen- ior Class, All-City Dance Council, Hi-Y, and the District Youth Organization including Dayton, Springfield, and Wilmington areas. Keith is also a member of the Honor Society and plays quarterback on the football team. In his freshman year he was elected most outstanding freshman and in his sophomore year was given the Sons of the American Revolution award. When asked what the happiest moment in his life, Keith blushed, then said being re-elected president of KEITH Wolfe Studio the class. Keith is 5 feet 71,6 inches tall with brown hair and brown eyes. He claims 2249 Valley Pike as his home and can be reached by dialing AD 8396. For his hobby Keith watches Don Thies pick tomatoes. Hailing from Mad River township, Keith thought the halls of Kiser were big along with having the unusual feeling most freshmen have. , Keith's most embarrassing experience was playing THE love scene in the Junior class play. Along with playing football, Keith finds track rating high in sports. He also has played basketball for the Central Christian Baptist Church. His future plans are to attend college, but he is uncertain which he will choose. . y In 1952 Keith was crowned king of the All-City Dance. 1 ' , 1 f .

He is also a member of the Honor Society. Barbara Ryan and Dick Longo were elected historians. Barbara is A member of the Y-Teens and is assist- ant editor of the Panther.

Bill plays halfback Teacher's Mother Dies Members of the faculty and stu- dents of Kiser wish to extend .their sympathy to Frank Mills, general science teacher, on the death of his mother. Mrs. Mills died September 10 and her funeral was held Septem- ber 14, at Greenville, Ohio. Ryder Heads 7th Period Departing from the system used last year at Kiser, only one teacher will be in charge of the detention of pupils. X . Miss Anna Marie Ryder, history teacher, will be the only teacher to take care of the seventh period dur- ing the entire year. Last year the teachers took turns each week. Miss Jones Returns Miss Ruth Jones, senior civics and social problems teacher, has returned to Kiser after recovering from an op- eration on her leg during the summer months. - During Miss Jones absence, she was replaced by Mrs. Juanita McKee. 'ig ADS E ASHIOANS. ACTS BY TED STRADER How will the Kiser girls fight in the battle of the hemlines? This indeed is a questiorrworthy of individual consideration. Naturally, those girls with the shapely gams will favor a hemline rise so they can sport their nice curves. You see, it's strictly a matter of taste. And since I don't claim. to now too much, if anything, about hemlines, the most I can say is, Skirts are like prices, the higher they go, the more attention they at- tract. , - , Are the Dutch going in for hillbilly music? Apparently so, Bonny Lou's recording of Tennessee Wig'walk has been placed at the top of the pop- ularity list in Holland. Here in the states, it ranks 10th. Lately, it seems that quite a few kids have been dialing two certain teiephane numbers after 10 o'clock P.M. Cthis immediately excludes all football playersj hoping to get the busy signal. This may appear rather pointless, but really it's lots of fun and a fine way to meet new friends. It works this way. First, Clogically enoughj sit down by your telephone. Second, pick up the receiver and dial either FU 2801 or OL 8111, if you don't get the busy signal hang up and try again. When you do get the busy signal,,in all probability you will hear at least half-a-dozen other voices, yelling, whistling, and talking to each other between the buzzer. Just get someone's number, hang up, call them, and get acquainted. Try it. Levi's here! Levi's there! If you don't- believe they've taken over Kiser, look around you and just try to count them. ' Tootle Becomes Sec'y Judy Tootle was appointed secre- tary by Howie Miller at the first Stu- dent ,Council Meeting Sept. 15. 'Her appointment is due to the vacancy left by Betty Isbel who is now attending Wilbur Wright. . Adults Uught To 'Major In Minors' DEAR FRIENDS OF KISER: While in Florida this summer I saw a sign on a Youth recreation building which fascinated me. It read We Major in Minors. I would like for each parent and teacher and friend of youth to constantly keep this thought in mind as we go into the new school year of 1953-54. Everything we adults 'do is in- directly or directly for the minors- or at least it should be that way. Kiser High School really exists for minors. Of course we try to do all we can for adults, but, after all, helping minors Y is our ultimate aim. When you come to P.T.A. bear in mind that this group was origin- ally organized to help ' the Minors. . When you go to school athletic events remember 1 they too are pri- marily for the minors. I firmly believe that adults will do their part, Youth will measure up every time. If you, want real happi- ness, content and satisfaction try majoring in minors this year. Come to our school plays, musical programs, P.T.A. meetings, schobl dances, pic- nics and go to the polls and vote for these Minors who cannot vote for themselves. Especially when your own young- sters are participating on school events it is quite important for you to attend. They need your interest and backing. Empty chairs furnish no in- spiration. We teachers like to know that you show an interest in your children. I am enthusiastic about this com- ing school year. Why? Because I am going to 'MAJOR in MINORS. Are you? ' Sincerely, H D. L.

DEAR KISERITES, September 14, I was sitting in my cell trying to think of something to write when I turned on Arthur God- frey's Talent Scouts. Arthur was talking about schools opening that day in most cities. He mentioned something which I want to write to you about. Why you know, students at Kiser should consider yourselves lucky because their enrollment is not too large for the size of the building. There are some schools in the United States that are over-crowded. Students often have their lessons in a hallway or outdated schoolhouses. One way we can prevent our children from going to schools like this is to write your Congressman. Say friends, how about writing to me? My address is. Al Catraz ' Panther Box Kiser High School , Dayton-4, Ohio Your Pal AL CATRAZ Kiser Library Reopenslg 250 New Books Added ' Kiser library has approximately 250 new books, says Miss Helen wai- cutt, librarian.

The game will get under way at about 8. Judging from last year's look at Springfield, they should have a strong team. On the line, they are big, in the backfield they are fast, and teamed together they are rough and mighty. Quarterback Marion Do- Little Crowe, is considered a dan- gerous threat. Last year, with many passing and running gains, Spring- field pounced Kiser 39-0. For a short time last year, Spring- field was number one in the state. An aerial offence is highly probable as shown from previous games. Big bur- ley men, many averaging 185 lbs. each will guard the line. With this great team, keep your eye on Springfield. THE MIDDLE of the Panther line and the first string backfield that will probably go against Springfield Public tonight is shown above in a familiar pose. First in line is Ken Weese in the right half-back slot seeing his second year of action as a varsity gridder. Don Thies, second in line, is a converted guard who has been switched to fullback. Next, comes Stan Lucky Luckoski, Kiser's fleet-footed left half. Calling the plays will be Keith Banke shown at the quarterback position. Moving to the line we find diminutive Danny Yount holding down the right guard post. Over the ball is big Doug Pippin playing in the center of the line after a year's absence from the gridiron. At the left guard is third year man, Leon Roberts. . Cats Roll By Troy Trojans: Lose To Iigers In Premier With Don Thies, Stan Luckoski, Ken Weese, and Keith Banke, showing the way, the Kiser Panthers rolled over their opening game opponent, the Troy Trojans, September 18. Wasting no time in getting the scoring under way, Ken Weese dashed over to score from the Troy six with less than seven minutes of the initial period gone. Hooker's try for the conversion was wide. Troy Fumble Costly In the third period, Kiser ,capital- ized on a Troy fumble on the Trojans own 15-yard line. On the first play, Banke went 14 yards on a sweep all the way down to the Troy one yard line. Seconds later, Lucky Luckoski bulled his way over from the one and made the score 12-0. Again Hooker's conversion try failed. Banke Spearheads Drive Driving 65 yards in six plays in the final stanza, the Cats wrapped up the game with their third and final touch- down. Hooker going the first 15 yards On a pass from Banke. Banke then threw to Weese for 16 more vital yards. Again, it was Banke in an off- tackle play as he picked up 14 yards to the Troy 21-yard line. Sweeping around left end, Bank galloped down to the Trojan 11. Full.. back Don Thies took over at this Stage Sfliflg six yards on his first try, and plunging the final five for the score. Hooker missed the conversion attempt, but it was not needed as the Cats of Kiser swept by the Trojan ,horse 18-0. Panthers Tamed ' Fumbles proved costly to the spir- ited Kiser eleven as they again lost in the High School Premier. This time to Stivers by a 7-0 count. Playing only two eight minute per- iods in the Oct. 11 tilt, the Cats found that one bobble can mean the old ball game. Stivers' Jim Bridges pounced on a Kiser fumble on the Panthers own 32, to set up the only score of the game. Four plays later, Herbie Schafer, bounded over from the 12 for the six points, and the P. A. T. try was good. Wanted: More Players , Hughes A class that has as many boys as Kiser's freshman class should be able to get more boys out for football, says Jim Hughes new freshman foot- ball coach. Mr. 'Hughes speaks with plenty of coaching experience being former head football and track coach at Germantown before coming to Kiser. A graduate of Wilmington College he makes his home in Germantown, with his wife, a son who will enter Ohio State and a daughter who is a freshman at Germantown High School. Highest on the list of Coach Hughes' accomplishments was the discovery of a boy in one of his gym classes at Germantown whom he turned into the state's number one sprint runner. The freshman football team has been a big disappointment to Mr. Hughes. At one time he had 19 boys out while the other day there were only five. Coach Hughes truely be- lieves that if a boy has it in his heart to play football he will be a good football player. l l Everything in Sports Equipment Jim Flynn, Inc. I. PIIRT lllllil' By Long-0 Well, another football year is roll- ing and things have started off as usual with the Premier. Kiser played Stivers in the Premier and lost 7 to 0 in a short but well-played game. In case you haven't noticed, some of Kiser's Kats.are showing signs of their trade in various ways. Just to give you a few examples there are: broken and sprained ankles, stomped faces and one dislocated shoulder. This being just the beginning of the year, one sort of wonders how things will turn out. Morale is High The equad, which incidently consits of about 15 lettermen, has a few dis- advantages because of size but the morale is sky high. Maybe, with a few more players the team might be a little better. A Fairmont Triumps Kiser Panthers started out the year Team Spirit May Spur Kiser Victory High morale, confidence, and intes- tinal fortitude, fCoach Stover's re- fined phase for guts J, may prove to be the key asset for the Kiser eleven in their game tonight against Spring- field at 8. With a game and a half under their belts our lads in the gold headgears will roll into Springfield for their second out-of-town clash. Although the game in no way is connected with the city league, the players are anxious for victory in order that they may prove to them- selves that their long hours of prac- tice and training have made them into a team of athletes superior to last year's gridsters. Although they had ample size and potential ability Kiser was efellied 39-0 there at Springfield and re- mained defeated flve games after- wards. The boys this year have con- fidence in themselves that they will not follow suit. Seeing the most action in the back- field tonight will probably be Lucky Luckoski and Keri Weese at the half spots, Don Thies at full, and Keith Banke under the center. Bill Glaspey, a senior, who has been giving Weese a respectable challenge at the right half position might also see quite a bit of play, along with Gerhardt Ziegler, who incidently, does the team's punting- with their first scrimmage at Fair- mont. It was an hour and a half later that they walked off the field with the score standing: Fairmont 27, Kiser 14. Strange Things This is strictly hush, hush, but I heard from the boys on the outside of the pregame huddle Friday, that there was a small furry Creature lurking in the shadows trying to in- filtrate. It was later discovered that it was a mouse but was discouraged by a pair of size tens. If you like to play the game, play it. But if you're playing just for a name, forget it, Because you might get the glory which wanting you do, Then someone who tells your story might disapprove of you. - Ice cream Hartelis Soft 'W'-' Troy 8 Leo Sis.

PAT LEWIS '57: In Michigan, I spent two weeks just swimming, fishing and boat riding. MELVIN SHARP '57: I went to Mich- igan and Canada and came back under the river between Canada and Michigan. 'BEITY MYRICK '56: I went to Park- ersburg, West Virginia, for one glor- ious week and took in all the sights. .ROSEMARY BLUM '54: I spent five weeks on the campus of the North- Junior Achievement Sponsors Assembly Through the movie, Learn By Do- ing, the purpose of Junior Achieve- ment was explained in an assembly held in the aduitorium last Wednes- day. The film explained how one can equip himself for careers in industry and business. Junior Achievement provides young people 15 to 21 years of age with a business experience which will help them achieve success in fu- ture careers. The club is sponsored by business men and industries, and is financed by those interested in establishing an understanding of workmanship among young people. Junior Achievement members handle all management and labor of a business enterprise, under the supervision of an advisor. All-City Dances Start Starting tonight, bi-weekly All- City dances will again resume. Ac- tivities are held in the downtown Y.W.C.A. and last from 8:30 P.M. un- til 11:30. These dances are open to city high school students. Last year Kiser was honored by having Keith Banke chosen president of the dance council. Admission is 50 cents with a Y.W.C.A. membership card. Senior Named Princess Princess Pauline, otherwise known as Pauline Tatone, Kiser senior, spent half of her summer in an exciting beauty contest. Pau.line placed second in the Longo's Spaghetti Queen beauty con- test and won a diamond ring and a gold loving cup with her name en- graved on it. Student Council Installs Fountainsg Various Projects Help Raise Money Four new electric water fountains were installed at Kiser last May through the efforts of the Student Council. Howard Miller, president, HOWIE Photo by Paul Grifly above, is trying out one of the new fountains. Total cost of the fountains was 5608. Although this money came from several sources, the project was pro- moted by last year's Student Council. Money from the Student Council paper drive, helped a great deal to- ward the fountains. I1 1 Two of the fountains are located on the second floor, and two on the first floor. Another fountain, located in the cafeteria was purchased with money from sales tax stamps brought in by the students. Student Council has plans for a variety show to be held in December. Another goal of the Council is to promote an intra-mural basketball team for the boy's gym classes. Kiser's dream of a bronze panther statue, to be placed in the front cam- pus, will be possible soon with the help of this year's Student Council.

Meeting Sl-IOWN ENGAGED in various activities at Webster shool are a number of children in special classes for retarded children. fPhotos by Paul Grilfyj Little Jeanne Benefits From New Community Chest Agency Jeanne was a beautiful baby, just like her brother Jerry and sister Joan were when they were born. When she was about four months old, her parents noticed that even though she looked like her older brother anddsister, she was different. She couldn't hold on to a baby rattle and paid no attention to what was going on around her. On her first birthday she hacln't' even begun to crawl. This was unusual, for Jerry and Joan had been walking by that time. Her parents began to worry and took her to a doctor. He told them that there was nothing he could do for her, that she was a retarded child. A few years ago little Jeanne would have been a 'iforgotten child. Her parents would have just kept her in the house and practically neglected her. Her world would have been dark and dismal, with nothing but ridicule for her in the surrounding neighbor- hood. But today Jeanne has every chance for a happy future. Her parents heard of the Council for Retarded Children, the Community Chest's newest agen- cy. They went to find out what could be done and discovered there were classes for such children at Edison, Webster, and Lincoln schools, and the American Legion Post. So they en- rolled their daughter in one of them. There are different degrees of in- telligence below normal just as there are above normal. In these schools, retarded children are taught to the fullest extent of their learning ability. Slow-learning children are always happy as long as someone loves them and they have someone to love. They are unusually affectionate and like to show their feelings and their love for someone. They have teachers who show their love for them at school, and they have their mothers and fathers to love and take care of them at home. The Board of Education pays one- third of the cost to send these children to school. If parents can afford to help, they pay whatever they can. The state and theiCommunity Chest pay the difference. When you give to the Community Chest, remember this story about Jeanne and her parents, for this is a story of any family, anywhere, who has or could have a retarded child. Remember, there are a lot of Jeannes in this country who haven't any chance to go to school, because there is no money to pay for their education. The Council for Retarded Children is just one of the 46 agencies to which the Community Chest gives money. So when you give, be sure you give enough to share 46 ways. - Kiseris Fourth Homecoming Slated, Oct. 16 Following the Kiser-Stivers game, Oct. 16, the fourth annual Kiser homecoming will be held at Stuart Patterson Community Center in Stu- art Patterson Park from 10:30 pm. to 1i00 a.m. Cheerleaders will be in charge of plans for homecoming with Pauline Tatone acting as general chairman.

Airmen Visit Kiserr, Demomstrate New Ideas A color cartoon movie on air power and a demonstration of the latest flight clothing was presented yester- day by The Orville and Wilbur Wright Memorial Squadron Air Force Association. - Composed of airmen and people interested in aeronautics, the Wright Memorial Squadron is a national organization which promotes and en- courages interest in flight. The as- sembly presented yesterday is typical of their work. New flight uniforms were demon- strated by an air force pilot who is a veteran of the Korean war. He shot down at least one MIG-15 in combat action. Srs. Choose Namecards A committee of Seniors chose their namecards last Monday, in the audi- torium. Namecards are to be ordered from the Printcraft Company, the same, as last year. Fifty per cent of the cost of cards will go to the class treasury, if or- dered within stipulated time.

Barb is historian of the Senior class, social chairman of the Y-Teen Club, of which she was president in her Freshman and Sopho- more years, vice-president of Inter-Club Council, also an organization of the Y.W.C.A., and recently in the B. A. Club. n ' One thousand one hundred and seventeen Mack Ave. is where Bar- bara can be found in her spare UD time, but if you want her, you'd better call He 1649 to see if she's home. Happiest moment in her life was in her Sophomore year when she was chosen Sophomore attendant to the Jr. and Sr. Prom. Outside of dancing, going to the football games, and eating, Bar- bara's hobby is writing letters to Marines. In the summer between her freshman and sophomore years, Barb attended a Y-Teen summer conference at Otterbein College, Westerville, Ohio. In her Junior year she went to Akron, Ohio, to plan the annual state con- ference. Last summer she attended the Journalism University. Barbara was bom in Columbus, lived in Cincinnati and in Indiana before she came to Dayton seven years ago. LEON 0. ROBERTS-Everything happens to Leon in football season. He plays guard on the team and in his sophomore year got to play enough quarters to get his letter. This turned out to be the happiest moment in his life. He lettered last year and is hoping nothing happens to prevent him from 'getting one this year. The biggest disappointment Leon ever had was Kiser not winning the championship last year. If you ever hear anyone yelling third period in the library you can be sure it is Orpha Williams since his favorite pastime is pestering her. Born near Somerset, Ky., May 13, 1935, Leon came to Dayton eleven years ago. Now he lives at 124 Taylor St. and to reach him by telephone, just call He 0026 after 6 o'clock since he has football practice every night after BARBARA Wolfe Studio Workshop at Ohio LEON Wolfe Studio school. il 'i 'A fi' ' 'NW' ..., l ,Il it -,k A it 1 a L a . 15?

About the only thing I can say is, I am a member of the opposite sex. Now that football season is here everybody naturally goes to the game to watch the mighty Panthers roll on. Speaking of football, here is a selected poem you may enjoy. Oh, the ends they crash and the tackles dash And the guards, they submarine. The centers rush and the fullbacks crush And the halfbacks make a scene. But, lo, the wily quarterback Standing all serene Gives the ball to someone else And keeps his jersey clean. The word selected appeared above so I may leave school the latter part of May as scheduled. Signed, AL CATRAZ LUHDZIT ? 1 Mr. Whozit is six feet tall and tilts the scales at 140, and says girls are his hobby. He is a member of the Junior class and has dark 'brown hair and green eyes. The population of Dayton, Ohio, was increased by one on April 29, 1937, when he was born. Whenever you see Tom Schlorman and Ray Robinett, you will probably see Mr. Whozit. His activity period is spent in 117 and after school he's found at 1010 Pleasant Valley Ave- nue. You may reach him by dialing MI 7869. Miss Whozit stands five feet three inches tall and weighs 102, and says eating is her hobby. The Junior class also claims her, and she has dark brown hair and big brown eyes. Virginia Williams and Pat Barton are among her friends. She was bom March 19, 1937, at Steubenville, Ohio. Miss Whozit lives at 125 Proctor Street, and by dialing FU 7535 you can reach her. She spends activity period in 117. Junior Y-Teens, the B.A. Club, and O.E.P. Sorority claim her as a member. You still don't know the Whozits? Look in the ads. The Rockets Red Feather Shot I HOPE ncacr-ics OF Evlnv CITILEN i BY DICK LONGO .Zed 'Mal' '7aop!uf Kiser has never won a sportsmanship trophy in foot- ball. This is our goal this year. We may not get the city championship in football but just as important is the sportsmanship trophy. In previous years we lost the trophy by only one, two or three points. Ten unknown judges have been elected by Robert B. French, Superintendent of Schools. These judges may be your own parents or next door neighbor. The contest will run for eight consecutive week-ends starting Sept. 18th and ending Nov. 14. One thousand points have been given to each school. For every misdemeanor a point will be deducted by each judge witnessing the act. Many people who have previously attended Kiser and quit have no recognition of sportsmanship. Children who haven't yet attended Kiser often run on the field and gallivant around the stadium, and are general pests. Kiser's Student Council is distributing rules to the elementary schools: Howie Miller at McGuffey, Orpha Williams and Barbara Ryan at Webster, Martha Spitzig and Joan Brewer at Allen, Jerry Cline at Central, and Keith Banke at Mad River. We need the trophy. Let's make sure we get it by obeying the sportsmanship rules. A Miss Cellaneou BY JOAN BREWER I often pause and wonder At nature's peculiar ways, For nearly all our terrible weather Comes on holidays. X Gee! Those Troy football players sure were rough! At least Kenny Weese thought so when one of them ripped his pants at the Troy-Kiser football game. Later, Orpha Williams made this remark, Most men lose their shirts, not Kenny, he loses his pants!

Mr. Sparks, Kiser's new typing teacher and also newly married teacher, was telling his fifth period typing class about his wedding, September 26. Later someonex was heard to make the remark, Oh, well, you know what they sayg 'Man is like a worm, he comes along, wiggles a bit, then some chicken gets him'. Also, Keith Banke, trying to act dumb when he saw Mr. Sparks's wedding ring, asked him if it was a fra- ternity ring. Gail Bokoske then said, No, Keith, it isn't a fraternity ring, it's an eternity ring. The lightning bug is pretty But he hasn't any mind. He Ries along through his lifetime With his headlight on behind. v Pawn, ocroarn 9, 1953 rar Kzssn PANTHER PACE 4 HANGING THE PICTURE above is Pauline Tatone, president of the K. D. AA.

These are but a few of the far-away places which were visited over the summer vacation by fortunate Kiser High faculty who had the opportunity to travel. To Europe went Miss Lillian Hau- schildt, German and tenth grade English teacher, and Miss Dorothea Eikenbary, ninth year English teach- er. Miss Hauschildt spent one and one-half weeks of all her summer vacation above N the Arctic Circle. Traveling by the airways, she visited the most northern city of the world, Hammerfest, Norway. Cape North in the Arctic Circle, the British Isles, Scandinavia, Finland, and Holland, are other European places visited by Miss Hauschildt. Kiser P.T.A. Karnival Termed 'Big Success' If it were not for the teachers and students who helped at the karnival, said Mr. and Mrs. C. L. Lohrey, gen- eral chairmen, the karnival would only have been half what it was. Due to the interest shown by par- ents, students, and faculty, it was termed a big success by everyone who attended. There were approximately 3500 people who attended the karnival held last Thursday and Friday on the athletic field. Profit made by the P. T. A. from the karnival was not known at press time. Last year they cleared 1000 dollars. In contrast to Miss Hauschildt, Miss Eikenbary spanned the ocean by ship, leaving July 3 and returning home Aug. 24. During her seven-week ex- cursion abroad, Miss Eikenbary vis- ited such sites as Portugal, Pompey, Isle of Capri, Rome, Venice, Paris, Switzerland, and Dover. She was also fortunate enough to see the Pope while in Rome. Although Miss Helen Walcutt, school librarian, didn't leave the con- tinent, she did leave the United States. While away three weeks in August, Miss Walcutt motored to Nova Scotia, Canada. On her way northeast, she drove through the Adirondacks, and the Green and White mountains of New England. Her return trip carried her back into the beautiful scenery of the New England states. While some faculty members were touring the east, J. S. Goughnour, chemistry and physics instructor, climbed into his car and headed toward Colorado, where he resided the entire eleven weeks of his vaca- tion. Assembly Is Scheduled A movie will be presented by the Dayton Community Chest this morn- ing in the Kiser auditorium. There are to be two assemblies. The first as- sembly for the tenth, eleventh, and twelfth grades will be at 8:25 a.m. The second at 8:55 a.m. is for the eighth and ninth grades. VOTING ON THE SENIOR CLASS PLAY is the committee pictured above. Left to right, are: Ruth Matthews, Paul Gritty, Rosemary Blum, Doris Roberds and Douglas Pippin. iPhoto by Toby Orrj 'Sky High' Selected As Class Play, To Be Presented November 19-20 Sky Highv' is the play chosen by the committee of the Senior Class, to be presented November 19th and 20th in the Kiser Auditorium. Mrs. Garnet Deem, dramatics teacher, will direct the production. Keitli.Banke, president of the Sen- ior Class, chose Doris Roberds, Ruth Matthews, Rosemary Blum, Paul Gritty and Doug Pippin to select the play. 'iSky High is a story of a gay and rollicking group of college students who are marooned at Sky High, a skiing lodge, during the Christmas holidays. In the middle of their merrymaking they discover the place is headquarters for a group of spies. For ninety thrilling minutes the young people pull themseles out of one danger only to plunge into an- other. The play is delightfully bal- anced between chills and laughter. It is a new royalty play from Sam- uel French, publishers, of New York. It was written by Florence Ryerson and Alice Miller. Cheerleaders Sell Books Booklets, containing all the cheers for the football and basketball season, are being sold by the Kiser cheer- leaders. They are decorated with pictures of megaphones, footballs, and basket- balls, and were made by the cheer- leaders and their substitutes. For 20 cents the booklets can be purchased from any of the cheer- leaders. 3 Cheers For SHOE FAIR A Kiser High Fellows and Gals are I Cheering the new SHOE FAIR located at 1003 Keo- wee Street next to Kro- gers.

FRIDAY, OCTOBER 9, 1953 1 T H E K 1 SE R P AN T H E R E g PAGE FIVE Tigers, Cats Wildcats Overrun Panthers 40-6 To Battle Af . Pllltll H.S. Stadium Next lhiday night, Stiver's Tigers will challenge the Kiser Panthers at the High School Stadium. Action will get underway at 8 p.m. sharp. Stivers this year has had a slow start, but is always capable of the unexpected. Many are favoring a win by Stivers, basing their prediction on present ratings. Stivers defeated Wil- bur Wright 27 to 6 but lwas defeated 36 to 6 by Springfield. Last season Stivers tromped Kiser 20 to 6. Stivers' coach, Jim Hanby, has im- proved his already strong backfield. Herby Schaeffer, Stivers' first string half-back, is considered a double threat to Panther progress. At line- back is Beeker, and at guard is Bach. Stivers may not be as good as thought, however. A remark made by a Springfield player to a Kiser player gives Kiser hope. He said Kiser was harder to beat than Stivers. However, Stivers has no signs of being dis- couraged by losses and is to be feared. Tonight Kiser will journey to Wilmington, where they will engage in pigskin fury. e Frosh Gridders Build Up Power Late ln Season Despite the fact that at one time during the freshman football season only five boys reported for practice, Coach Jim Hughes now has almost two full teams of willing freshman. However, more boys are needed, and any ninth grader who has the desire to play football is welcome to attend practice sessions after school Monday through Friday until about 5:30 p.m. Roosevelt was the team's first op- ponent this season. The battle took place Sept. 24 on our Kiser's athletic field and ended in a 12-0 victory over the Cats. In the second game against Stivers, a Gudgle to Vayne pass secured for the boys of '57, a touchdown which represents the first point scored by a Kiser freshman team in 8 straight games. ' However, this was not a sufficient score to bring a victory for the team, and as the fourth period drew to a close, Stivers left the fie1d'with a 20- 6 triumph over Kiser. Holding the- back position's on the present startihg line-up are: Jim Gudgle, handling the ball from the center, Ron Vayne and Bucky Slife at the half-back positions, and Benny Marcum at full.

Sickness Prevails Doug Pippin, the 205 pound center of the Kats, was out of the Springfield game because he had the flu. Carroll Taylor and Jack Settles were the fill- ins for Doug. Taylor is an end this year 'but he was center on last year's team. We are hoping for Doug's fast recovery. Rose Colored Glasses Keep your eyes peeled on Ohio State University this year in the Big Ten Conference. State, predicted to go to the Rose Bowl, has started the year with a runaway victory over Indiana. The score was O.S.U. 36- Indiana 12. Thanks to All I would like to comment on the attendance at Kiser's out-of-town games. There has been excellent sup- port of the team both at Troy and Springfield. After the Dunbar game, come Wilmington and Washington C. H. I hope to see you there. Moo To You Have you ever heard of eating grass when you're thirsty? Well, it so happens there is a character on the football team who does such a thing. His name is Don Moo, Moo Thies. Yes, the old mater picker from Hog's Holler takes to chewing the cud like his beloved four legged friends. G.M. Contest Introduced In an effort to discover hidden tal- ent in automotive designing, the Fisher Body Craftsman's Guild is sponsoring a craftsmanship contest which was introduced here at an all- boy assembly, Sept. 29. Claude McCarnmon, field repre- sentative of the Guild, brought to the assembly a film which fully explained this nation-wide competition. Cats Lose To Wolverines I2-6 On Last Second Touchdown One team picked up its first win of the season and another regis- tered its 18th straight win in high school football competition on the last two week-ends. The Kiser Panthers traveled to Springfield Sept. 25, to take on Jim McDonald's undefeated Wildcats. lnterceptions Prove Costly Four Springfied interceptions set up as many touchdowns for the Wild- cats, as they soundly thumped the Kiser eleven 40-6. , Kiser's lone score came in the first period on two passes by quarterback Keith Banke. His first pass covered 53 yards with Dick Longo on the receiv- ing end. numerous miscues on both teams, a punt return spelled the difference for the teams. One Second T.D. With one second remaining in the game, Dunbar's Art Glass grabbed Gerhard Ziegeler's fourth down punt on Kiser's own 40. Hit on the 35, Glass lateralled to Al Peters who rambled DUANE HOOKER, Panther end, is pictured in action in the above two shots from the Springfield game. On the left, Duane bobbles the pigskin on a pass from Keith Banke. Hooker atones for his error, though,, as is shown on the right. fPhotos by Toby Orrj On the next play, Banke hit Duane Hooker from 19 yards out, for Kiser's only touchdown. Springfield's attack was led by two fleet-footed Sophomore backs, Willie White and Ronnie Burton. Burton scored the first T.D. with only one minute and 37 seconds hav- ing elapsed in the initial stanza. A few plays later, White rambled over from the seven to give Springfield all the margin they needed for victory. Dunbar Tops Cats ' A game that looked likely to end in a tie was turned into a victory by a quick-thinking Dunbar back, as Kiser lost its city opener to the Wolverines, 12-6, last Saturday. In a slow-moving game marked by the remaining yardage for the score. Kiser's only score came when the Stovermen drove 75 yards, midway in the second period, with Don Thies ripping off the last 38 yards to tie the score at 6-6. Jack Hart's Summit-Streeters moved out in front late in the first period with eight minutes and 59 seconds of the initial period gone. The score came on a pass play covering 28 yards with Wilbur Suesberry do- ing the throwing honors and connect- ing with Lowell Turney in the end zone. Kiser committed six miscues that cost them the ball each time, fumbling five times and having one pass inter- cepted.

It should be self-evident to the voters that due to the increased en- rollment there must be some way of supplying the school's needs. This can only be done if they vote Yes on the school levy, Mr. Curk added. Q2 Q we in X s, , X . i -44 fa 2 v SQ gift, . 4 b ,a We ,515 . aa, .. , . ' we . Q ea 4 K .. , i , g S . K .

I'-'WW IWU ' THE KISER PANTHER FRIDAY OCTOBER '23 1953 v , .v rib BY ALENE LAMBERT MARTHA ALICE SPITZIG-In biology class her Sophomore year, Martha gave Don Thies a shot in the arm with a dissecting needle. Well, as a result she be- came embarrassed when the student teacher gave her a check mark in her workbook for not using her instru- ments for the right purpose. Being a member of the Peppy Pantherettes, Honor Society, Rainbow Girl, and the Car- V rousel Teen Club, Martha is also editor-in-chief of Ti-is Kxsl-:n PAN- '1'I-mn, and is the organist for Otter- bein E.U.B. Church. Happiest moments are a common thing with Martha. She was real happy when she was chosen editor- in-chief of the Panther, tapped for the Honor Society, and being chosen a varsity cheerleader. Born in Dayton, July 21, 1936, and now living at 228 Alaska St., this 5 ft. 1 in. senior weighs 112 lbs. Her ambition after graduation is to relax and stop running around, at least for a while. PAUL DONALD THIES-There's nothing real strange about Don's hobby. Yes, you guessed it, like so many other boys, Donnie finds flirting with girls an ideal pastime. MARTHA Wolfe Studio In Don's ' Junior year he was elected vice-president of the class. At the end of his Junior year, Don's happiest moment came when he was re-elected vice-president. Members of the Junior Council on World Affairs elected him presi- dent this year. Don is also a mem- ber of the Carrousel Teen Club. Being rather on the shy side, he couldn't think of anything that really embarrassed him. The real reason is that he's too modest to tell or maybe it was too embarrassing to tell. Playing fullback on the football team, and with prac- tice every night after school takes up his spare time. But when he's home, he can be reached by dialing FU 0869 or if you want to see him, just drop in at 2315 Harshman Rd. Plans after graduation include college but he hasn't made up his mind as to what subject he'll major in. Don takes playing football seriously, and in his Fresh- man year broke his leg in a scrimmage with the eighth graders from Allen.

Miss Cellaneou BY JOAN BREWER Our football team is rather small, And sometimes kinda slow. But with sufficient support from you 4 l'm' sure they'd really go. Oh, no! came the unhappy sobs of Beverly Brookey one morning as she was taking that first glimpse into a mirror after arising from a sound sleep. Just look at these eyebrows Mom! They're a mess, and I just can't seem to make them lie the way they're supposed to. So, like most girls who make quick decisions, Beverly had a solution. She would just cut the eyebrows out. The only thing wrong was that she cut too many, leaving a large and rather conspicuous hole. Oh, but she had a solution for that, too. She would just cut some of her hair and paste it on the bald spot. For those of you who are wondering, it didn't work. Now Beverly really has a problem. Boy! A certain teacher sure was embarrassed last week when he walked into Miss Klepingex-'s sewing class. Why? There were all those sewing machines running around without a stitch on 'cm. Do you students really like this column? If so, why not contribute to it? Remember, it only takes a few minutes to write about a humorous incident and slip it into the Panther Box. But you must sign your name. And please, if you have a good story to tell put it in the Panther Box. Quite a few girls were embarrassed And a red face they did win. For the door they thought was marked Ladies They soon found oufwas marked Men, ell Keep Alina Gfean Clean and orderly halls help to make a clean school. It is not the teachers' place to keep the halls clean, but it is your job and mine. When you throw a piece of paper in the hall, you don't think anything about it. But if everyone in the school would throw just one piece of paper in the hall, they would look very untidy. Walking on the right side of the hall, helps to keep them orderly. There is nothing worse than to be hurry- ing to a class and have someone come down the wrong side of the hall and bump into you. It is nice to visit with your friends in the halls, but some people seem to think they have to yell in order to be heard. Yelling in the halls upsets the whole school. It takes the privilege of visiting in the halls away from all the students. Putting chewing gum in the water fountain is a nasty habit. You can always find a piece of paper in which to wrap waste gum. You don't like to see other people's gum in the fountains, so don't put yours there. Keeping the school clean and orderly is a big job. Are you doing your part? A 8171 is 771 iso' DEAR STUDES: Many of you may wonder why I was sentenced. Well, unlike most of my kind, I was guilty, you see I com- pleted eight years of grade school and that's the reason I am here. Stories'have reached my cell telling me about the Seniors at their annual picnic. It seems that the whole Sen- ior class got into the act by doing the Bunny Hop. Lost: one 1953 Oldsmobile, red and white. This is what the Heerman twins were crying about when they discovered their new car was miss- ing. It seems a group of boys decided to hide their car and make them suf- fer. They did. I received this infor- mation from one of you students through the Panther Box. So please write. I have a letter from my pal 'Sam Quintin who wrote me about the Homecoming Dance last Saturday. Boy, did you fellows and gals look wonderful. Rumors have reached me concern- ing attendance at football games. Why, when I used to write to you in 1949, Kiser had large crowds, at games. Signed, ' AL CATRAZ LUHDZIT ?

What makes you jump? Don't you know it's almost Halloween and witches will be out? If you had lived hundreds of years ago you would have been quite sure that every sound you heard after dark on October 31 was a witch, a spirit, or a hobgoblin. Two ancient characteristics of Halloween were the lighting of bonfires and the belief that it was one night in the year that ghosts and witches are most likely to wander abroad. On Halloween ghosts and super- ---x-3-- natural beings P A i wander around on the earth and play all h 4 sorts of pranksg Q .1153 at least that's I,-,-.-I the belief of many Kiser studes. Ann Roberts strongly believes that on Oct. 31, the lord of death calls back to earth the souls of all wicked dead people who had been con- demned to die, and she holds these spirits responsible for all the myster- ious happenings. Have you heard of burning walnuts in a bonfire to find out the true 1011 Members Put P.T.A. Drive Over Top Kiser's goal of 1000 was broken here recently when students brought in 1011 P.T.A. memberships. Last year's membership was 953. A movie, A Thousand and One Nights, starring Cornell Wilde, was shown to all students bringing in one membership. Eighteen homerooms received candy last Tuesday, for hav- ing 100 per cent participation in the drive. Montgomery County has a total of 44,000 P.T.A. members. Kiser, with 977 students went beyond 100 per cent membership. friendship of someone you love? Well, that's the belief of Leon Rob- erts. He says if persons place a walnut in the fire and it burns slowly there will be true friendship always. Pat Meyer believes that all chil- dren born on Halloween are able to converse with supernatural beings. Have you met your partner for life? Then you might Oct. 31. Bill Cansler says that on Halloween he is planning to meet his mate. Could it be a supernatural being, a witch, or a hobgoblin he is planning to meet?

Cats Cop One At Wilmington 27-0: lose Nip-And-Tuck Battle To Tigers The Kiser Panthers snapped a two-game losing streak by beat- ing Wilmington 27 -0, Oct. 9, but fell right back in by losing a heart- breaker to Stivers 12-3, last Friday. Cats Stop Hurricanes If you were to open Webster's Dic- tionary you would discover a hurri- cane is a violent tropical storm. But the Hurricanes of Wilmington proved to lbe. a slight breeze against Kiser, Oct. 9, when the Panthers came out on top by a score of 27-0. The Cats' first T.D. came in the second quarter when Lucky Luc- koski ran off tackle for 40 yards for the first score. Duane Hooker's kick was good. Early in the third quarter Bill Glaspey broke loose for the Panther's second T.D. Again Hooker's conver- sion was good. An intercepted pass and an end sweep by Luckoski and Ken Weese respectively accounted for the next two T.D.'s. Hooker made one of the last two P.A.T.'s. Late in the final period, the Hurri- canes had the ball on the Panther 9, but Kiser's small but talented line, held till the close of the game.

Spaceman At Kiser Have you seen the moon zoon with the crazy face? .Just look up ole Dan'l Yount in practice. Man, that mask is the most. A New Foe The Kats picked up a new con- tender this year while dropping a more popular one. Kiser played Wil- mington this year instead of the Bull- dogs of Fairview. It is not known whether we will play them next year or not. Here is a schedule of the Kitty Cats past and future spats: Sept. ll-Premiere Stivers 7, Kiser 0 Sept. 18-Kiser 18, Troy 0 Sept. 25-Springfield 40, Kiser 6 Nothing But Victory Under their new coach, Bob Jaur- on, ,who replaced retired Fuzzy Faust, the Chaminade squad has rolled up the gridiron to four straight victories. The white uniforms have remained undefeated in city compe- tition for several years. But the blue and gold men have strong wills and determination, enough perhaps to crumble the Eagle nest tonight. Smash Ex-Champs Chaminade's season opener -with Louisville Flaget ended at 53-6 in favor of the Dayton team whose su- perior manpower could not be over- come. The Louisville team was last year named Kentucky State Cham- pions and has this year surprisingly climbed back to the top of the week- ly Lit'ratings on the strength of last week's 27-6 win over Bishop Noll High of Indiana. Stivers Downed Stivers, the team which copped the '52 Public School trophy last year and was overrun by Chaminade in their worthy attempt to steal the top city slot from the Eagles, was de- feated by Chaminade 34-6 in the Eagles' first battle of city competi- tion this season. - Strong Ground Attack Bob J auron's boys in the white and green seem to prefer to consume yardage by keeping the pigskin on the ground. However, they sometimes resort to the air and usually with good results. Nevertheless, the Eagles are definitely challenging runners as can be illustrated through their Ham- ilton Clash t35-13, Chaminadej by the fact that they obtained 317 yards rushing in comparison to 67 yards through the wind.

These are just a few of the hues now being selected for suede shoes. Walkers in shades like these are sure-fire for any young gent who fancies displaying new and unusual footwear. And I mean new and unusual! In addition, just picture yourself skimming the halls of Kiser on a dazzling new pair of black and white marbled ones. Or even gray ones which look like they're badly in need of a shave because of the short white hairs covering them. And just for that little added touch, try to get them with zippers - ordinary shoe laces just won't do. Enrollment Increases An average of two students a day have enrolled at Kiser High School since Sept. 8th, The enrollment now stands at 977 compared to last year's 965. It is expected to hit the 1000 mark this year. A change in names have resulted since meeting last year. The conven- tion name has changed from Central Ohio Teachers Association to West- ern Ohio Teachers Association. Contest Is Scheduled Dayton's Junior Chamber of Com- merce is sponsoring an I Speak for Democracy contest open to students in 10th, 11th, and 12th grades. There will be an assembly Nov. 6, to hear students who wish to enter the contest. Five judges, three facul- ty members, and two students, will select a person to represent Kiser.

Y Charles King, Ohio's well-known Negro singer, will appear in the Kiser auditorium next Friday, No- vember 13, at 8:25 a.m. This program is being sponsored by the Student Council. Mr. King was born in Ohio and received his musical education from various colleges in New York, at Heidelberg College, and Julliard. He was the former director of NVings over Jordan Choir, a CBS Network presentation. The choir toured France, Belgium, Holland and Italy. Mr. .King is also well-known for his work as an actor, singer, and choral director at the internationally known Karamu Theatre in Cleve- land. He has appeared at Carnegie Hall, the Metropolitan Opera House in New York, Symphony Hall, Boston, and various other places including Ed Sullivan's Toast of the Town. Comments on the great Negro spiritual singer are unanimous in their praise, Mr. Spaeth of the Cleve- land News says, Charles King's baritone is rich and vibrant and gives fresh wonder to 'Ol' Man River' in Show Boat. E. E. Moreby, principal of Cleve- land Heights High School, said that something would be lacking without an appearance of Charles King sometime during the year. 32,238.80 Collected For Scholarship Fund A total of 52,238.80 was collected for the Jeanne Carlson Scholarship Fund up to October 29. This amount included only one high school. The fund is expected to increase after all schools have reported. Kiser collected a total of 863.50 from the faculty, cafeteria employees, and custodians. Jeanne is a Junior at Vandalia, and daughter of F. G. Carlson, Assistant Superintendent in Charge of Busi- ness, who died October 21st. .'.'.'.'.'.'.'.'.'.'.'.'.'.'.'.'.'.'.'.'.'.'.'.'.'.':'f':'l':'f'f':'l'f'f':'l'H:'l'i'f':'m'l'l'l'f':'I'1':':ml'f'f-l'1'l'Q'1'f':'f':'1JZ:Ili:f:E:::1::i::l::ll':::':: ......... ,mi ...... ,Hg ..... ..... ,,,. .......... ,,:. .... y Z I ...... , E .. ,Ez . .,,w,,, 'NSER Zffffffffiff Eff lfff fffffff O ' I 552 555355. 28th fear, N0. 4 KISER HIGH SCHOOL, DAYTON, OHIO NOVEMBER 6, 1953 PRICE 10 CENTS Committees Chosen For s CHAHGMEN WORKING on Senior class play stage props are, left to right: Phyllis Cole fstage settingsl, Judy Tootle Chand propsj inspecting cm-tain material, Don Thies Ceo-chairmanj with saw, Toby Orr Ceo-chairmanj ham- mering on stage flats, and Robert Petrokas Cpainterj mixing paint.

PAGE TWO ' , THE KISER PANTHER FRIDAY, Novnmaanis, ross Let Us Pray For v Peace, Freedom Next Wedrreedey,' November 11th, the people of the United States will observe Armistice Day. Dayton Schools will be closed. Do all students know'why we ob- serve this day? Some of them might. It all started in 1914, the beginning of World War I, with Germany. The armistice was signed on November 11, 1918. Then in 1921, the day was set aside as a legal holiday by an act of Congress. This marked the end of the great hostilities of a great war. We have a memorial erected in our country, the toinb of the Unknown Soldier in Arlington, Virginia. In Campiegne Forest, near Paris, France, where the armistice was signed, there has been erected a memorial to the brave persons who served in the war. At 11 a.m. the time the armistice was signed, people stop what they are doing and face the east with bowed heads for one min- Ute. Let us try to remember and show honor to the men and women who lost their lives so we might enjoy freedom and peace. Let us also pray that there will never be another ar- mistice to sign. LQ.i.!.9..?.!.i..? What's this? I thought I heard someone say not to sit in cars during school. Oh! So this is some place else. Let's see who it is. Miss Whozit has brown hair and grey eyes, weighs 121 pounds, is five feet four inches tall and you can reach her by dialing HE 6579. A' member of the Sophomore class, Miss Whozit can usually be found in 219 homeroom. After school she lives at 2348 Rondowa Avenue. She is usually seen roaming the halls before school with Shirley Stanley and Edna Gunter. Dayton, Ohio, claimed another birth certificate, September 25, 1938, when she was hom. She gets enjoy- ment from swimming, skating 'and xdancing. This is her second year as a mem- ber of the Y-Teens. Mr. Whozit has been a Daytonian g for 15 years. He was born here March 19, 1938, and has blond hair and blue eyes. Residing at 2065 Leo Street, he is usually at the Neighborhood Con- fectionery and by dialing AD 7830 you can reach him.

'Ibey would rather dial HE 1447 to reach her, a much easier way. Y-Teens claim Judy as program chairman. She is secretary of, the Student Council, one of the eight Peppy Pantherettes, and a members 7 f 7 of the Carrousel Teen Club. v Being chosen cheerleader and having the part of mother 'in the Junior Class ,Play last year, are two of Judy's happiest moments. - JAMES ANTHONY REGER- Being tapped for the Honor Society was the happiest moment in Jim's life. He is treasurer of the class for the second year, is Sergeant-at- arms for the Honor Society, and is a member of the Carrousel Teen Club. Biggest disappointment in Jim's life was during baseball season last year when Chaminade got into the playoffs instead of Kiser. Jim has been playing baseball for Kiserfor the past three years as second baseman. Collecting records is his hobby. Born in Dayton, April 27, 1936, Jim now lives at 626 Maryland Avenue and his telephone number is HE 0865. lhms Wolfe Studio , JIM Wolfe Studio Uelaneou BY JOAN BREWER ' The eamest prayer of each student As the hands of the clock take flight: Please make that bell ring, Lord, Before I have to recite. Do Kiser girls help their boyfriends with their home- work? Well, Miss Jones, civics and socal problems teacheris convinced that they do. One in particular. It appears that Bonnie Hendrickson helped Burt Tipton so much on his talk on Formosa, that When Miss Jones called for the talk in her third period social problems class, Bonnie and Burt both rose prepared to give it. Life sure is funny, isn't it? At least Orpha Williams thinks so. While Orpha was in McGuiTey School about a month ago giving sportsmanship talks, she noticed one class as it was marching out of a classroom. As is the custom, the teacher was making the boys and girls walk hand in hand. Gee! Orpha remarked, I just don't get it! When you're in grade school they make you hold hands and you don't want to but when you're in high school you want to and they won't let youli' Even the most prudent students lose their quietness sometime.

Now please don't jump at conclusions. An Italian Boy is one of the latest of the short hair stylings for the fair sex. AT LAST a drag strip for the young auto enthusi- asts in and around Dayton has been brought under serious consideration by city and county law officials. Plans are being made for construction of the strip, which will be financed by custom and hop-up clubs 'in the Dayton area. A site for the proposed strip, which should be self-supported through entry and admission fees from events, is being sought now by a committee of selected city business men and civic leaders. The drag strip, as planned, will be one-half mile long, 80 feet wide, hard surfaced, and marked off ih lanes, it will also include a grandstand and pit area. ' sasmc. srors before your eyes?

Twenty-three girls are serving as lab assistants for Miss Edna von Berge, home economics teacher. They help to keep grocery records, check groceries when they arrive, and get classes ready for cooking. Assistants serve as a service club not only to the home economics de- partment, but to the school as a whole. Eighth grade girls volunteer to serve as assistants during their Freshman year. If their attendance and grades are good, they are chosen. President of the club is Vida Lain- hart. Secretaries are: Peggy Little and Dolly Naum. At the beginning of the year, the girls had a breakfast party and a picnic. They are now planning a Christmas party. During the year the girls will do various jobs for the P.-T.A. and the school. At present they are selling Christmas cards for the P.-T.A.

Ninth Grade Gridsters End Poor Season When the freshman football season came to a close Thursday, October 29, after a night game with Fairmont, the frosh gridmen of Kiser, unvicto- rious over any city opponent, hung up their pads until next year. Although they had expert coaching by Jim Hughes, and his assistant, Johnny Pierce '45, the lads of '57 couldn't seem to get going when they needed to, and as a result dropped all their battles of city competition. The season opener with Roosevelt, on our own athletic field, ended with a triumph over Kiser 12-0, setting the pace for the following clashes. Stivers romped to victory in the second game 20-6. Incidentally, that six points represents the first score made by a Kiser Freshman team in 8 consecu- tive games. Following Stivers, the Cats were defeated 6-0, 6-0, and 7-0 by Colonel White, Wilbur Wright, and Dunbar, respectively. Members of the squad were: ends, Jim Plummer, John Wendling, Tony Hopkins and Jim Bell, tackles, Joe Motza, Larry Fahrney, Gene Parker and Bob Estes, guards, Larry Cope, Dick Garberson, Curtis Thome, and Mennis Livingston, center, Jerry Lambert, halfbacks, Bucky Slife and Ronnie Vayneg fullback, Dave Om- dorfg and quarterback, Jim Gudgull. Punting and kicking-off for the team. was Jeff Hale. eo-Streeters To Tussle With Gorby's Bears Cats Rated As Underdogsf Meet Pilots ln Toss-up Game Tommorow night at 8 P.M. Kiser meets Dave Gorby's Roosevelt Teddies on the gridiron at the High School Stadium. Roosevelt rates first in the public school championship race while Kiser is fifth. Predictions favor the west-siders over Kiser. The Panthers meet Wilbur Wright next week. Roosevelt's record for this season is good. October 25th the Stovermen Pick Howard Miller To Captain Squad I wasnproud to accept and it was one of the happiest moments in my life, exclaimed Howard Miller when he was chosen to captain the 1953 football squad. Howard, a Senior, with two pre- vious years of varsity experience behind him is now playing his third year of varsty ball. He was chosen captain by his teammates in an elec- tion held before the Dunbar game. Miller started playing football when he was in the seventh grade, when he played for North Dayton's Panther Cubs. In the eighth grade he also played for the same team. He held down the end post for the last three years, but this year was switched to tackle to fill an empty spot left by graduating Jim Welch, last year's team captain. Zimmerman 8g Co. Humble Panthers, 47-07 Blue And Gold Roll Over Wash. C.H., 21-12 Kiser's Panthers dropped their second straight game before Chaminade 47-0, then traveled to Washington C. H. to Win a hard- fought game 21-12. Eagles Fly High - Chaminade's high flying Eagles wasted little time in subduing the out-classed Panthers, October 23, at the H. S. Stadiurnf The Ea les didn't let an rass grow under their feet as Butch g 8 Y g Zimmerman climaxed a five play 70 yard march in racking up their first T.D. Bob Morrella, the powerful full- back, drove his way through the Kiser line -for a 43 yard touchdown jaunt in racking up the third T.D. After the first four minutes of play in the second period the Cats started to pour on the pressure holding Chaminade to a single score. Jim Corbett, Vince De Vanney, Dave Huber, and Jerry Raiff also N L lihi'cl7charging fullback is pictiired above being brought dowm by Bill Glaspey, Kiser Scatback. dented the scoring column. This is the first game an Eagle back has not scored two or more T.D.'s. Kiser's only high spot came when Tom Schlorman took a pitchout from Ted Strader and ran 54 yards before being knocked out of bounds on the Eagle two as the final horn sounded. Cats Nip Blue Lions After playing on even terms for the first period, the Kiser Panthers finally broke loose to have a 14 point lead at the half, Oct. 29. Kiser's first T.D. came when Ted Strader stepped back and fiipped a short pass to Bill Glaspey for a 80 yard play. Ken Weese's P. A. T. was good. After an exchange of punts the Cats took the .ball on the 50 and started to drive. Stan Luckoski cli- maxed the drive by firing a 13-yard touchdown pass to Glaspey. Again Weese's P.A.T. was good. Luckoski took a pitch out from Strader to cover 32 yards for Kiser's third T.D. Weese's third conversion proved good. l The Blue Lions came alive in the fourth period when they started to drive. A ' 30 Girls Swim At 'Y' Approximately 30 girls from Kiser are now participating in swimming classes held at the Y. W. C. A. Classes started October 26 and are held for the girls on Monday and Wednesday evenings starting at 5:30 P.M. In order to swim, the girls were required to take a physical exam- ination which cost 75 cents. Y-Teen members are charged no member- ship fee. Teddies tangled with Wilbur Wright and at the games-done-gun the Third-Streeters had tallied six touchdowns and three conversions to win 41-0. Spectacular running was displayed by Bill. Gleason as he marked up three TD's. , Roosevelt Rates First Present records show that Dayton Public High School Trophy is enroute to Roosevelt. With three wins, one tie, and no losses under their belts, the Teddies threaten Panther prog- ress. At press time the outcome of the Chaminade-Roosevelt was unknown but predictions are predominately an Eagle victory. Both teams are rated top defensively speaking and both have a good offense. Kiser is again rated an underdog in tomorrow's clash. This season many have faced Kiser and have compli- mented thir playing. Wright Has Slow Season Progressive Pilots? Well, some- times. October 10 caught Wilbur Wright in the wrong when Lima Central scored 27 points to the Pilot's 7. Lima Central, who had suffered a defeat at Massillon, top team in the state, rebounded to a walkaway vic- tory. But credit must be given to Wright. Quarterback Jim Beard wrestled his way over from the one yard line to acquire the Pi1ot's only tally. The extra point was kicked by Benton. Wright Rates Fifth Kiser's winnings have been short. Wright is, however, only one notch higher than the Cats', holding 5th spot in city school ratings. One win and three losses for the Pilots may appear deceptive. Kiser's record of three losses and -nowins has slowed Panther spirit and Wright is hoping to capitalize on this weakness. Wright's backfield positions are strong, sup- ported by an average line. Backs Berzeny, Grothjan, and Forbes promise to show stiff opposition. We predict a tossup and a close battle. A -- - lc-Z'-reg: -I J l 9 Soft drink.. H artel S S ,w. , I Troy a Leo sts.

Sponsors Dancing Classesg 50 'Taking Lessons A new dancing program for Kiser students was inaugurated by Kiser's P.T.A., Oct. 26. Instructor Johnnie Long, former Arthur Murray teacher, is in charge. Meetings are being held in the music room after school from 3 p.rn. to 4 p.m. every monday and Wednesday night. Purpose of the school is to teach more boys and girls fundamental dance steps and create bigger and better turnouts for school dances. Classes the first week proved popular with a turnout of over 50 students. In the eight lesson course, one learns six basic dances for 50 cents per lesson or S4 for all eight lessons. Dance lessons of comparable style given down town would cost S10 or more. It is predicted that classes will grow and if so, lessons will be given in the cafeteria. The dancing lessons are to have variety of style. Among the six dif- ferent steps are: the fox-trot, rhumba, and the samba. Dancing parties are kinds of activities which will do most Hill, Ohio- to be scheduled to interest the people of the com- 5 ' munity schools. , 1 - Oberer s U' mm wlsrs suvwm Florists All A St. F -0 J lf, Do you play it or at it ?

Forty-Six Students l Drive Cars To School At Kiser, Plans Made For 'Drag Strip' r nr BEVERLY Bnoonmr There are 46 Kiser students who drive cars to school, four of whom are girls. The class of '54 claims more drivers than the other classes and homeroom 104 leads with nine drivers. this year because the aisles in the auditorium are being painted with a spgcial noh-skid paint. Kiser Panther Staff Receives Top Honors Honors were recently received by T1-n-2 Krsna PAN'rH1:a staff in the Com- munity Chest School Press Project. Mary Jane Ryan received first place for the best feature story. Paul Griffy and Dick Longo received first place' for the best pictures and car- toon. Pictures were taken at Webster School showing the work of the Council for Retarded Children. Third place was received for overall cover- age. According to May Meranda, Public Relations Director of the Community Chest, our help played an important part in the success of the campaign. . , Students who drive to school have a few rules that must be followed. One of them forbids students loafing in the cars. Students must leave their cars as soon as they have parked them in the parking lot.. Cars are to be parked to the right of the auto shop. Drivers who disobey this rule often find their car windows covered with red tape. Not' only Kiser drivers, but teen- agers from all over the city will benefit from the new drag strip that is being planned. It will provide safe fun for hot rodders. Money from entry fees and admis- sion will help finance the project, when it is under way. City and County law officers are helping to carry out the project. Cus- tom clubs in and around Dayton will also help to promote the idea. Plans for the drag strip are still being discussed, and at present, a 'site has not been chosen. I .

X 'A' aawf-Q THE BIG SWITCH Let Us Give Thanks In the United States and Canada a day is set aside each year called Thanksgiving Day. On this day, people give thanks with feasting and prayer for the blessings they have received during the year. The first Thanksgiving Days were harvest festivals or days for thanking God for plentiful crops. For this reason the holiday still takes place late in the fall, after the crops have been gathered. The first American Thanksgiving Day was celebrated during the second winter the ,Plymouth colonists spent in the New World. ' Thanksgiving Day spread from Plymouth to other New England colonies. During the Revolutionary War, eight special days of thanks were observed for victories and being saved from harm. For many years there was no national Thanksgiving in the United States until Mrs. Sarah Josepha Hale worked 30 years for a National Thanksgiving Day. Finally, in 1939, Franklin D. Roosevelt proclaimed the third Thursday of November as Thanksgiving Day. Some of the govemors refused to follow and continued to celebrate it on the traditional day. Then in 1941 Congress ruled the fourth Thursday in November as Thanksgiving.

Oh, no! came the faint whisper of Deane Edgington as she sat in her sixth period chemistry class, engrossed in the text. When asked what the matter was, she re- plied, Gee! It says here that if a man weighs 140 lbs. that approximately 100 lbs. of this weight is water! Golly! What would happen if someone were to stick a pin in him and all that water would run out? Now just how dumb can a person get? Speaking of football games, follow- ing the Roosevelt-Kiser game, Nancy Sprague, after seeing Mr. Stover with that woe-be-gotten look on his face that could only signify a loss, sang Cto the tune of the Funeral March J: Cheer up, Stover, the worst is yet to come. Get it? English, Spanish, German, French. Give a big cheer for the boys on the bench. Reason? Recently, at a foot- ball game, one of the cheerleaders noticed a big hole being dug under the bench by one of the boys of our bench-warming team. When asked why, the boy answered: It's my way of showing how long I've been here! uw q . . , f .

' -Purpose of the club is to promote the interest of Kiser teachers,- par- ents, and students in the band and especially to'interest more students in playing band instruments. The club will meet in the Kiser band room at 7:30 pm, on the first Wednesday of every month. Oflicers of the club are: Wilbur Theis, president, Mrs. Ralph Speel- man, vice-presidentg Mrs. Leon Shroyer, secretaryg and Mr. Leon Shroyer, treasurer, with J. P. Hole- sovsy, band director, and D. L. Sol- lenberger, principal, as trustees. According to the club constitution, there is no limit to the number of members in the club. Sale of Christmas candy is the first project of the club. All proceeds will go toward the purchase of new band instruments. We hope our organization will be an active one and will benefit both the band and school, said Mr. Theis, and we are asking everyone's help in achieving our aim. Why Not Count Your Blessings? , DEAR KISER FRIENDS: Recently I heard an unfortunate person express the attitude that there would be no Thanksgiving for their family this year. No Thanks- giving! Surely not, if -we count our misfortunes. No doubt every one of us have troubles enough to over- shadow our blessings if we put emphasis upon the wrong things. But life doesn't move forward that way. Life and happiness are built upon the principle that we look for the best. As the pop song of a few years ago repeated over and over, Accentuate the Positive. There is not one I of us who can af- ford to skip counting his blessings at Thanksgiving this year, regardless of reverses. There comes a wonderful psychological lift when you take time out to list the things you have left for which to be thankful. Try it! Honor Thanksgiving in your heart this year, even if the festivities are missing. Enter His gates with thanksgiv- ing, and into His courts with praise: Be thankful unto Him, and bless His name. Psalm 100:4. Sincerely, D. L. SOLLENBERGER Principal Pastor Plays For Teens Tony Pastor and his well-known band will perform for Dayton and Montgomery County teen-agers next Sunday at the Carrousel Teen Club. Other coming attractions include: Gene Mayl's Dixieland Rhythm Kings, November 29, Sauter-Finne- gaxi Bend with Sally Sweetland as the featured vocalist, December 6. BY TED STRADER WITH THE COMING WINTER SEASON there is a definite trend toward fur. Sweaters and dresses of all description are being made with eye-catching collars and cuffs of fur. Many other small articles have adopted tufts of fur, for example, there's a small attraction consisting of two white balls of what looks to me like rabbit fur. These, about the size of tennis balls, are connected with a black velvet cord and draped around the neck in any desired manner creating new and unique effects. . . C.

Snyder, Nelson Get' Boy Scout Awards, Two Kiser boys, Ronald Nelson and Harry Snyder, have just recently received the God and Country medal for their loyal service. In order to receive this medal, the two boys had to memorize and recite each book of the Bible, be able to quote passages, have perfect attend- ance, and usher regularly.

'53 Season Ends: Cats Gain 3 Wins Against 6 Losses Looking back over the 1953 grid- irdn season we see the Panthers could garner, only three wins as against six losses. In, the Cat's first game of the reg- ular season, played at Troy, Kiser rolled over the Troy Trojans by a score of 18-0. Springfield's team proved too much for the lighter Panthers as Spring- field won 40-6. Kiser dropped its city opener to Dunbar by a touchdown in the last minute of play, 12-6. Wilmington was an easy victim for Kiser. The score: 27-0. In their second, city game Kiser lost a hard fought battle to Stivers 12-3. The Chaminade Eagles scored an easy.victory over the hard-fighting Panthers' with a score of 47-0. Glaspey scored two touchdowns helping Kiser to gain their third vic- tory by beating Washington Court House 21-12. Roosevelt found Kiser to be an easy win by a 33-0 score. In the last game Wilbur Wright tapped Kiser 16-0. Red,l Blue Teams Cla hThursday Kiser Plays In AnnualTiIt: 9 Semor Boys Are Ellglblep On the coming cold morning of Nov. 26, Thanksgiving Day, the annual Blue-Red game will be played at the High School Stadium. The two sides are made up of local big seven high school teams. Teams are grouped according to standings at the end of the season' and class A, B, and C teams are arranged where neither side has an advantage. Heading the Blue team is Dayton's Public School champion-Cham- inade. Roosevelt, City Public School champs, lead the Red team. At press- time Kiser's side was not known. Kiser's position rests on the outcome of the Wilbur Wright-Kiser clash. If Kiser wins, they will be on the Blue side with Chaminade, and if ' they lose they go to the Red team. This year Kiser has nine senior boys who are eligible to try for the Blue-Red teams. Kiser's eligible players are: Jim Bratton, end, Bill Glaspey, halfbackg Keith Banke, quarterback, Duane Hooker, end, Bob Gray, guard, Leon Roberts, . guard, Dick Longo, endg Don Thies, guardg,and Howie Miller, tackle.

From 1948 to 1951 all victories were won by the West. In 1952 the name and system of organization of teams was changed. Red vs. Blue was inaugurated as it is today. This change of name came when Dayton newspaper men from the two local papers, The Dayton Daily News and the Journal Herald, saw the monopoly built up by the West team over the East due to the size of the school and general football ability. The present system matches evenly the two teams. Cats Drop Final Two' Kiser's Panthers were readily tamed in their last two games losing both by margins -attained by the opposition in opening minutes of the game. x With less than two minutes gone Roosevelt recovered a Kiser bobble and quickly turned it into one of five touchdowns, Nov. 7. A T.D. that was called back proved to be Kiser's only source of excite- ment for the night. On the third play of the Nov. 13th encounter with Wilbur Wright, Bob Wakely took a Jim Beard pass on the Kiser 45, and scampered down the sidelines for the score with only 85 seconds gone in the game. Twenty- one minutes later Wilbur Wright again scored on an 85 yard drive with Dick Grothjan bulling over from the one. , . With only 8 seconds showing on the clock, Stan Luckoski was figuratively nailed to the goal post when Wright's tackle, Adolph Cartwright, grabbed him behind the goal for a safety and 2 more points to make the final score 16-0. Kiseris defense played a bril- liant second half, allowing the Pilots to cross the fifty yard stripe only twice. ' 9 Ice cream I I Hartel s Soft dfinff-S Sandwiches Tl'0y Q Leo SIS.

He started to play basketball in the sixth grade for a church team and played for the McGuEey seventh grade. The following years were spent'at Kiser. Being the city's most underrated player is the honor Duane Hooker carries. He started playing basket- ball at McGuf'fey under Roy James. Playing on the Freshman and re- serves gave Duane plenty of exper- ience. Last year he was considered one of the finest play-makers in the city.

Sparks, typing teacher, was submitted to The Panther for publication, If any other teacher or student wishes to volunteer an article, it will be greatly appreciated. BY H. sri-mxs I have heard several students at Kiser express concern over their grades and Wonder how they might improve them. I have a recipe here which I think, if followed, will work in most cases. It works in the hills of Kentucky, and, if ingredients are used in the right proportions, I can see no reason for it not working at Kiser. B.A. Club Holds Danceg Proceeds To Help Needy Kiser's B.A. girls club is having a dance at Stuart Patterson Youth Cen- ter, December 12, from 8:30 to 11:30. Proceedsfrom the dance are to go toward the B.A. Club's Christmas project, which will help a needy fam- ily. Chairmen of the various commit- tees are: general chairman, Sharon Nunneryg band chairmen, Barbara Ryan, Janet Hanes, and Pauline Ta- toneg food, Mrs. Verne Davis, and other trustees of the Youth Centerg and decorations, Argie Frqnista, Vir- Williams, and Jane Weaven .M . r. -Q 5 . To make an A grade, you must first get a pan full of common sense, and sift out the bad habits. This common sense must not be diluted with the idea that everything is 'teasy sailing nor with the idea that anything is too hard to be mastered. Into this pour one half cup of good temper and two cups of willingness to work. Stir this well with a spoon of ambition, and add one cup of per- sonal interest during the 'process. Next add one tablespoon full of self control, and 'moisten it with the liquid of honesty. Season the mater- ial with one half pound of self re- spect and flavor it with a teaspoon of cheeerfulness. Again take the spoon of ambition and stir well. When materials are properly' mixed, put them in the oven of earnest ap- plication, and heat it by the burning oil lot. home study. , rum by 'ruby Orr PRACTICING on her skates is Winnie Marshall. Trampoline ls Given To Kiser A new trampoline received by Kiser High School was purchased by the Board of Education about two weeks ago. The trampoline is a large canvas supported by bars, which are sur- rounded by springs. One of the tricks already accomplished is springing, then dropping to the knees, and sit- ting down. The record of 50 tries is held by Bonnie Hendrickson. Frank Stall '56, is considered a pro on the trampoline, and gave Miss Isabel Shepler, girls' physical educa- tion teacher, some pointers which she relayed to her gym classes. Students using the trampoline are given instructions in safety measures and are -urged to be careful at all times. No one is allowed on the tram- poline without an instructor being present. Grading Period Ends Report cards will come out Tues- day after a seven week grading period, according to C. E. Shannon, assistant principal. The seven weeks grading period was due to four days on which there was no school. They were: the teach- ers' CUHVCHHOH, Armistice Day, and two days off for the Thanksgiving holidays. Srs. Visit Art Institute Miss Ruth Jones, civics and social problems teacher, will take her social- problems classes to visit the Art In- stitute, December 15.

When she was a Sophomore she was chosen a varsity cheerleader, in her Junior year she was an attendant of the homecoming queen, and i.n her Senior year was in the play. Being chairman of the home- coming this year kept Pauline busy the first part of the year, but she still found time to be active in other clubs. She is corresponding secre- tary of O.EfP. sorority, sunshine of- ficer of the B.A. Club, social chair- man of Y-Teens, President of K.D.A.A., member of Carrousel Teen Club, and one of the eight Senior chorus girls. All I Want Is A Chance rates high among the hit songs with her. Her hobby is reducing, and when asked her weight, she refused to tell. Her biggest disappointment was be- ing defeated as treasurer of the class for two years by Jim Reger.

Let's see who they are. Miss Whozit was born in Dayton, February 22, 1938, and has blonde hair and blue eyes. She is 5 feet, 2 inches tall and weighs 107 pounds. When telephone No. HE 1447 rings, she will probably be the one to an- swer. She lives at 305 Mansfield Place. When not at home she is prob- ably at the Equity with Arlene Mc- Donald and Roberta South. To pass the time away Miss Whozit collects animal pictures. Activity per- iod, she can be found in 105. Mr. Whozit has been a Daytonian ljroto by Toby Orr since December 19, 1937, and has blond hair and blue eyes. He weighs 125 lbs. and is 5 feet 7 inches tall. He can be found in robm 105 dur- ing activity period or seen during the day with Bill Dull and Steve Cimprich. Another place he can be found is at 238 Wortman Street, and by dialing FU 8446 you can talk to him. Mr. Whozit finds golf his major in- terest. When he isn't at the Superdel he is probably at Junior Achieve- ment. If you don't know who the Whozits are, look in the ads. Celaneou BY JOAN BREWER N December 24, I'm sure, Will be a happy day. For that's the time when alas, at last, We can put those books away! In the second act of the Thursday night performance of Sky-High, the Senior Class play, there was a tense moment when Bob Petrokas, as Oscar, was about to spring upon Paul Griffy playing the role of Hank. Just as that moment arrived a small boy in the audience yelled, Look out behind you! Gee fellas! I have heard that there is a man-shortage but I've heard nothing about a girl-shortage. However, this must be so because it gets pretty bad when two boys have to dance together. At least that is what I saw at our pep rally. I wonder how many times Tom Stafford stepped on Snookie Taylor's toes. for was it the other way round?J Q What's this? Delsie Rollins is leaving pus? Gee! that's a shame. I mention this because recently when one of her girl friends was talking to our editor, Martha Spit- zig, she said Delsie would like to have her name in the Panther just once before she leaves. Here is wishing you the best of luck, DELSIE. Y Some of Miss Jones' civics pupils can surely make the wise-cracks. For instance, not long ago, Miss Jones, while trying to discourage Charles Reed from talking through his hands, asked him if he talked that way when he was out on the football field. Charles' quick comeback was, No, because I sit on the bench! In order to win a trophy, Comes Haller's old, old call, Remember boys, there's just one thing, You've got to win 'em all! . 1 E' ' woNoER ww THE Guns WOW i t ' DANCE wmf ns?

A person must have cer- tain qualities to help him make friends. He should be friendly, appreciate other's good qualities, be interested in life, and most important of all, must be interested in others. Each of your friends play a different role in your life. Making friends, however, is only one of the many adjustments you make in life. Keeping them is another story. Many of the qualities which help you make friends also enable you to keep them. Other personal qualities turn out to be helpful. In a group one can prepare himself for relationships with the opposite sex. Each person helps his group in a different way. Some add humor, some are strong on planning, on speaking, and others are good listeners. Each person is needed because he can add something to the group, and in return get something from it. To be popular is the dream of every girl and boy. Be- ing popular however, is not the most important thing in' the long run. Nevertheless, one wants friends. No one can be happy without friends. . , .

They are required to spend ,an hour a day in the library. However, some work after school and some help Miss Wal- cott for a while in the summer. Chief duties of the assistants are to stamp books and put them away. Only two of these assistants are Sen- iors as compared to four Juniors, six Sophomores, and three Freshmen. Two advantages of working in the library are: the experience comes in handy for school works and if the students are planning to attend col- lege, they will have the experience required for working in the college library. Speaking of crops, the 'new farm creed 'pears to be faith, hope and parity. ' Scholarships Are' Offered Seniors Scholarships in property insurance will be given to candidates selected from 18 states, including Ohio.

There's a little item gaining popularity that I'd like to mention. It's those sharp gold and silver key chains that have been dangling from quite a few of the belts lately. These little eye-catchers are very practical and versatile, in that they look attractive on anything from levis to a suit. WILL CIVILIZATION be the ruin of us? Maybe, for when the electrical current failed during a severe storm, a Wisconsin farmer discovered that nobody on the place knew how to milk a cow by hand. LOOKING AT THE CALENDAR, I found that Christmas isn't the only significant day this month. For in- stance, our history books tell us that 130 'years ago on Dec. 2, the 5th president of our country, James Monroe, announced his famous Mon- roe Doctrine. Then, on the 14th, 42 years ago, the South Pole was dis- covered. And next there's something we should know, on this coming Dec. 17, we will celebrate the 50th anni- versary of the first airplane fiight by the Wright Brothers. Following, the 21st will mark the first day of winter and the shortest day of the year, while the third day after Christmas xmarks the birthdate of Woodrow Wil- son, the 28th president of the United States: Students Respond Well To Two Air Raid Drills According to C.

It seems that when we, fthe Seniorsj got to Dunbar for our practice session, Mr. Gray found that he had two left feet or was it two right shoes? All I can say is, why do some people have -to be individual- ists? - Otto's In Stitches During a game with the Forty- Niners, the Cleveland Browns were faced with a maddening situation. Before the half the Brown's famous quarterback, Otto' Graham, was put out of the game temporarily with a cut that had to have 15 stitches. They couldn't do that to old Otto the Browns declared and went on to win the game.

Crazy-legs All American For all sportsmen, especially foot- ball fans, go see Crazy-legs All American, a film story of Elroy Hirsch. Crazy-legs Hirsch was an All American at Wisconsin and Michigan now plays pro football for Los Angeles Rams. It's a great sports story. Underclassmen Are Big 'n' Fast: James' Graduates Predominate Kiser Reserves are going to be big and fast is the outlook for the kittens for the coming season. Heading the list of big men are: Aubrey Cornelius, Frank Bar- ger, and Steve Cimprich. Frank is the tallest standing at an even 6 ft. 3 in.

Playing for the champion Stuart Pattersonxteam last year he poured 80 points through the nets. Being the smallest of the big three is Steve. Standing at only 6 ft., he played eighth and ninth grade bas- ketball here at Kiser. Other boys who will see plenty of action this year are: Ronnie McClos- key, Larry Hollst, Norman Naas, Tom Schlorman, LeRoy Gabriel, Norman Hinders and Ronnie Streck. Being one of the smallest players is the boast Ronnie makes. He is 5 ft. 7 in. and weighs 129 lbs. Larry is the only player who wears glasses but you couldn't tell this by the way he plays his basket- ball. Norman is a left handed jump shot artist for the kittens. Naas is a good ball handler and can hit from way out. LeRoy and Ronnie are both small, but give the team plenty of speed. H be-1 Everything in Sports Equipment I Jim Flynn, Inc.

Taking the trip for the varsity squad will probably be: Duane Hooker '54, Jim Bratton '54, Tom Stafford '55, John Guffey '54, Ray Rigney '55, Norm Hinders '55, Bill Stritenberger '54, Howie Miller '54, Marvin Kistler '54, Ken Weese, '55, and Carroll Taylor '54, Of these boys, six are back from last year's varsity and three from the re- serves. The remaining two are new to Kiser basketball. Lewisburg will be the target to- morrow night when .the boys meet them in the second clash of the year. The game may turn out to be a re- venge for the beating we received Photo by Paul Grifty SEEING PLENTY of action tonight will be Jim Bratton '54, pictured above. last year, 56-37.

Hurricanes Meet Tuesday Wilmingtonh who fell victim so easily to our gridders last season, is scheduled to duel with our cagemen next Tuesday when the boys take to the road again on their second out- of-towner. The Hurricanes are still remembering last year's defeat C42- 32, Kiserj, and will be striving to prove themselves against our speedy 5. Fight Fairmont Fourth On December 11, just 5 days after the Wilmington clash, the squad will travel to the edge of town to battle with Fairmont. Kiser was victorious over the Dragons last year 48-38 and will attempt to triumph over them again in this their fourth game. Then, four days following, we find Blues Capture Turkey Scrap By 7-0 Count With the cold weather eliminating much of the ball game and forcing the two teams to play a defensive game most of the way, the annual Blue-Red Thanksgiving Day classic was won by the Blues, November 26, by a 7-0 count. Paced by Chaminade's Dave Huber, the Blue squad drove for the only touchdown midway in the final stanza. Huber plunged over from the two for the lone counter of the game. Built around a core of Chaminade players the Blue squad's margin of victory was primarily attained due to its ability to play as a more co-ordi- nated unit. On the other hand, Jim Hanby's charges played a good game in all respects stopping the Blue many times from going over, even within the shadow of the goalposts. Butch Zimmerman and Huber of Chaminade teamed up to run, kick, and pass, with enough prowess to lead the Blue team to a hard-earned victory. ' Only two Kiser boys managed to break into the Stiver's dominated Red lineup with ,only one Panther on the starting team. Dick Longo played the entire game at the de- fensive left end spot for the Reds and Bill Glaspey entered the game when Bill Talbott, a defensive halfback, broke his ankle in the first quarter. them back again on the Kiser hard- wood for a fight with Wayne Twp., who tripped the Cats last year 38-35. At presstime Wayne was undefeated in cage play, and should prove a tough opponent for the Kiser court- sters. 9 Ice cream Hartel s Soft dfmff-f I Sandunches I Tl'0y 8 Leo SIS.

Twenty-eight dollars of this, was profit from ice Eream sales. Total expenses were approximately 5150, including S50 for royalties on the play. Patrons who wanted their names to appear on the program do- nated 1 dollar making a total of 578. Jim Reger, Senior class treasurer, said, We made a lot more money than on our Junior play. I hope we use most of the money to donate to the Kiser Panther Statue Fund. No other class has donated over S50, and we would like to break that record.

Through Treatment He Can Recover BY CAMILLA GRUSENMEYER 1 Maybe your mother or father haven't contracted tuberculosis, but let us suppose one of them did, your father, for instance. . He probably found out about it when he went to get a free x-ray at a mobile unit or a tuberculosis clinic or maybe an annual check- up at his family doctor. He then would have to leave home, quit his job and go to a sanatorium. Here he would receive different types of medications, streptomycin shots, vitamins and other body- builders. Proper amounts of bed- rest, and well-balanced meals would 'be essential. His case could have been worse, but it was detected in its earliest stages and could be cured. Through this care and treatment he recovers. When he is discharged from the v sanatorium, he will try to find work. He may go to a rehabilitation center, like that of Dayton's Goodwill In- dustries, to get work. Here they would find out what he is best suited! for. He cannot do hard work, and still needs plenty of rest and doctor's care. It isn't impossible that TB could strike your family.

Well, Janet was as, she walked up to two girls at the Wilmington football game and asked if they were from out-of-town but soon found out they were Kisergirls. Her biggest disappointment came when we didn't win one city football game this year. Happy moments are common things with Janet, but being 1 crowned queen of the homecoming this year' and being chosen varsity cheerleader her Freshman year are the top two. Other happy exper- iences are: being homecoming at-. tendant in her Sophomore year, being crowned queen. of the 1952 All-City Dance, and receiving the Good Citizenship Award in her Sophomore year.

' But think a moment. Have you, with all the gaiety and gifts of the Yule season, lost the true meaning enclosed within it? That little touch of reverence and solemness which can make the Christmas day so complete, is often neglected and cast out of mind. Thoughts of people turn away from the remembrance of the birth of the Christ Child, from whence Christmas had it's beginning. And when this happens the Christmas season soon becomes merely a time in which gaudy and meaningless gifts of price are exchanged by unknowing and greedy hands. So let us celebrate the approaching holidays jovially but respectfully, so that the true tradition of Christmas can live on through us to our pos- terity and theirs. Oh! By the way.

But presently he left the room once more and when he returned for the third time he was wearing a green and big ' striped vest.

It seems that the only thing we get out of some 'games is mangled toes and dirty, white bucks from having the players step on our feet. - Have you a craving for candy? Especially chocolate?

FLOYD Rsmmow '54: 'fl don't TB Can Be Cured I Continued from page 11 for the seasons of the year and by avoiding persons with active TB. Other measures are taken by nation- al state and local associations. They include educating people about TB finding persons with tuberculosis curing them and improving living conditions. Three-hundred-fifty million dol- lars is spent each year to tight TB in the United States. Of this, 22 million dollars is collected from Christmas seal sales, the remainder coming from taxes. Tuberculosis is caused by a germ and can be contracted only from those persons having the disease. It is not hereditary. -Ray Anthony Band Will Appear' At A ' Carrousel Teen Club December' 20 Ray Anthony and his Band Sunday!

' 'nH4aaz BY TED STRADER - I'm sure most of you are familiar with all the disc-jockey pro- n grams which have sprung up on all the Dayton stations, especially WONE. Well, I've heard from a reliable source who listens to the radio quite often, that there have been oh-so-many dedications and requests for Judy U1 from a certain Carl Webb.-Could this be our Carl Webb. Many young males of the Dayton area seem to be becoming rather shirt-collar tconscious lately, with the introduction of two completely new styles. One of these, the B roll, is characterized by an upright -half loop in each side of the collar. This type was originally introduced by Billy Eckstine. Then with the other style, the C roll, each side is completely looped and it's end buttoned down. Who knows, maybe Santa Baby will hurry down the chimney with one of these for you. The Kiser P.T.A. has recently sponsored successfully a series of dance lessons under the direction of Johnny Lang of the Johnny 'Lang dance services. And now an ad- vanced course is being started for those who have completed the first. However, another beginners class will be started if enough students .are interested. The cost is 4 dollars in advance for eight, one hour ses- sions. Those interested are asked to report to the school office before Jan. 8. MARYBEl.LE'S ' DELICATESSEN 342 TROY ST.

He was high score man in the season's first two tussles xwith 19 and 21 points against Brookville and Lewisburg, respec- tively. iPhoto by Paul GriHy.J Hooker ls Named Captain Recently named captain of Coach Sid Haller's varsity cage squad was Senior Duane Hooker. Duane, now 5' 11 157 pounds, had his start on the basketball court at McGuffey grade school where he was coached by Roy James. Following his seven years there at McGuf'fey, Duane came to Kiser where he first played eighth and ninth grade ball. After this, in his Sophomore year, he gained a position on the reserve club coached by Bill Stover. He finally became a Hallerman in his 'Junior year when he took the floor among Kiser's top five. It was in that season that he eafned his first basketball letter. Basketball isn't all that Duane takes part in the field of sports. Looking back we find that he has done considerably well on the cinders under the training of Coach Roy Peden, and has merited two letters while holding down the end slot on the Stover eleven. Panthers Drop Three Of Their First Four Games Sid Hal1er's courtster's opened the 1953-54 cage season on a sour note, dropping three out of their first four games, by decisive margins. For the opening tilt, December 4, the Panthers traveled to Brookville, to battle the Blue Lions. But a fellow named Don DeVilbis provgl too much for the Cats as he scored 25 points to lead the Brooks to a 66-59 triumph. Duane Hooker was high man for Kiser with 15. One night later, December 5, Kiser copped its first win with a solid vic- tory over Lewisburg, scalping the Indians 61-44. The Cats were headed only once the whole. game at 12-11, but quickly recovered to win hand- ily. Again, Kiser was paced by team captain Duane Hooker who scored 19 points in this, the Panther's first home game. Kser again took to the road, De- ceinber 9, in search of its second win, but were turned back by a powerful Wilmington team, 72-58. Howie Mil- ler and Bill Worrell shared Kiser's scoring honors with 13 apiece. Kiser lost three starters via the foul route in this roughly played contest, which attributed greatly to the Panther set- back. A week ago, the Cats met sFair- mont on the latter's home court and were dumped for their third loss of the young season, 74-58. Ably coached by Junior Norris, former U. D. basketballer, the Dragons dis- ,played a good fast break and capable ball handling. , With three losses and a win to their credit the Cats battled Wayne here last Tuesday, but results were not known at press tune ai? w.e..-mms:-1:1-:fwe.asa,..arssii.. -:1 'iff ' 352-5r::i:,z.:.-r.,-1--4::....f.f,':ysgg:,, An, -z5:1:r5::..

The cheer, which inci- dentally was heard at Brookville, goes thusly: Naughty Naughty musn't do, That's another foul on you.

HE 2884 Dayton, Ohio Cats Meet Troyrnen Tonightg Invade Indianlaghd' Tuesday' Kiser's Panthers may have to take a page from Greek history when they travel north to encounter the Trojans of Troy. ,For the last four years this year's Senior class members have never won a game on their floor. Al- though they won't have the wooden horse, the Cats are primed with sur- prises. Last year Troy outscored Kiser 57 to 37. At press time Troy was unbeaten and going strong. They don't have any single star so every- one will have to watch his man. Panthers Invade Indian Land Tuesday night the Panthers travel north again, but 10 miles farther to Piqua. Being on the war path the Indians will be out to get the scalps of the Panthers for the 49-48 loss handed them when Bucky Staggs made a last minute field goal to cinch the game. Piqua's record is not too impressive having a 1-4 record up to Dec. 11. As in Troy's case the Indians have no stand-out stars. Beavers Make Debut Playing Class A basketball for the pace. first year the Beavers of-Beavercreek have had a successful season. 'They had a four game winning streak going before encountering the Charninade Eagles losing a tight 1 point defeat' Beavercreek makes their first ap- pearance on the Kiser schedule. The tilt will be played on the home court next xWednesday. l Cats Encounter Co-op On January 7, the Panthers open their league play against Patterson at the coliseum. The Beavers were un- beaten and should give the Panthers a rough night. Unlike Troy and Piqua, Co-op has one man who will have to be watched like a hawk. He is Tom Vermillion, the Beaver's scrappy 'little guard. ' Kiser Has Standouts The Panthers themselves have been paced by John Salty Guffey and Duane Hooker who have been putting the ball through the net at a regular X . Phys Ed Dept. Receives Trampoline' Girl's gym classes have been changed lately as a result of a new trampoline which was given to the Kiser physical education department by the Dayton Board of Education. So far only girls have had a fiing on the trampoline. Miss Isabel Shep- ler, girl's gym teacher, who has been teaching her girls how to use the trampoline, says safety is being stressed to prevent accidents. No one is allowed to work out on the trampo- line without a teacher being present. Frank Stall '56, is Kiser's best per- former on the trampoline. He has been going to the Y.M.C.A. for phys- ical training and has leamed how to turn flips, twists, and other tricks of the trade. The trampoline is a good way to lose unwanted weight, accord- ing to Frank. ' BOUNCING OFF the canvas on his stomach Cabovej is Frank Stall '56. This is one of the many tricks he accomplishes on the trampoline. iPhoto by Toby Orrj. ' i ' 4' 'lx' I 9 Ice cream H l S Soft drinks I Sandwiches Troy Q L60 SIS.

The rising number of delinquent cases poses a great problem for the judiciary and society in general. Why this increase? Recently, Judge Frank Nicholas of the Dayton Juven- ile Court, supplied some answers to this question. Three Classes Exist Juvenile offenders are generally divided into three classes: delin- quent, dependent and neglected. The first of these types commits offenses for pleasure or for no reason at all. In this class the child takes his first step toward becoming a habitual criminal. Dependent delinquents are chil- dren of parents who are generally nearly financially destitute. These parents cannot take care of their children. Consequently, the children un-is nn--. tFl'E'1V5'ER PRESENTING JOAN BREWER with the 1952 Annual Report on juvenile delinquency is Judge Frank Nicholas of the Dayton Juvenile Court.

Prematurely forced into making de- cisions, these boys and girls often turn to the wrong methods of satis- fying their wants. - Parents are most, responsible for the third of this group--the neg- lected. These children have been cast aside 'by parents who donjt take a sufficient interest in them because they have been busy working and lose personal contact with them. Then the young people, not being in reach of parential discipline, often tum to seek thrills which bring them abreast of the law. A Delinquent Offenders Predominate Of the types already mentioned the delinquent offenders are by far the most numerous and of this group the boys exceed the girls five to one. Of the neglected and dependent delin- quents the ratio is about one to one. The largest nuinber of offenseshare traffic violations with 588 cases re- ported, general stealing coming sec- ond with 205, and auto thefts falling third with 160. U Teachers Can Help Aside from the lack of parential discipline some of the blame must be placed on school teachers. Teach- ers who set good examples and gain the respect of their students can ex-' pect to have a favorable influence on their students. Only through the education of parents and children alike can we rid our' society of delinquency, says Judge Nicholas. Satisfactory recreational facilities must be provided and energies di- verted into constructive channels. Juvenile Center Rejected Twice Montgomery County voters have rejected proposals to .erect a new Juvenile Center. This is unfortu- nate since Montgomery County has done nothing since 1928 to provide more or better detention care for de- linquents and since 1938 has afforded no additional space for Juvenile Court operations. t . A few of- the problems resulting from this are: the jailing of some delinquents because of the lack of Detention Home space, within' the Detention Home itself there is no adequate medical program and iso- lation facilities, there is insufficient space for sleeping, eating, and activi- ties for children. However, the Detention Home does owe much to various individuals which have offered their support. It is through such help that they have been able to provide the boys and girls with such things as Red Cross classes, religious' services, and special art instruction! North Dayton Improved At one time North Dayton's juven- ile ' delinquent rate ,was high but Judge Nicholas was glad to report that now the number has been greatly reduced. , - A Most adults feel this younger gen- eration is 'going to the dogs.', How- ever, I feel that this generation is no worse than the preceding one. Never- theless, we must do our part in help- ing to 'STOP'juveni1e delinquency, Judge Nicholas concluded., 1 ' -to . .. ...-...-.. ...-,,.. .T .-.U ,L . ,,,,,,,,,v, ,Y ,gig-i,-,,v,Ki,,lh,V A. t.-.

We Want Your Newsg Gossip We Can't Use I'm sure that almost everyone here at Kiper is somewhat familiar with the small wooden box just inside the east cafeteria door. This box, with the label Letters to the Editor, was placed there by the PANTHER staff for the sole purpose of giving stu- dents an opportunity to submit sug- gestions and stories which you would like toisee in print. But unfortu- nately, most of the writings found in the box are conveyed almost directly from it to the waste basket simply because they either do not coincide with the policies and standards of the PANTHER, or are just absolutely worthless as news items. A For example, one letter ftypicalj came to us through the box telling us that we should have a gossip column and perhaps print names of some of the 'steadies' around school. Our reply to this is very simple and can be summed up briefly like this. Gos- sip, even friendly, can be malicious, it can tear a person down, and above all, it positively is not supported by truth and accuracy which are part of the foundation of journalistic writing that the PANTHER stands for. , 'I-Iowever, do not get the wrong idea. We, down here in 107, will ap- ' 'preclate hearing from you when you think you have an item worthy of print. So keep dropping us your ideas and be lure to SIGN THIS ARTICLE soltcanbeverifledifused.

Gads, what a thought! Ever say, Aw Mom, I haven't got anything different to wear today! We all say this occasionally, but it must be nearly a daily on Gerhard Neumaier's list. Recently, a permit was sent for Gerhard to his sixth period class where he 'lf Q ' was engrossed in his ' studies. The teacher looked around the i room and after a long time, said, Oh, 'there you are. I didn't recognize you, you've got a different shirt on! Jane Engle, after studying hydrochloric acid, asked Beverly Brookey to say good-bye in French. Beverly's reply was Au Revoir. Whereupon Jane said, No, its hydrochloric acid. Hydrochloric acid? came Beverly's question. Yea, answered Jane, we just learned that hydrochloric acid was good-bye in any language! From now on maybe it would be a good thing if Al Catraz wrote Santa Claus what each one of us wanted for Christmas. It seems that after the Christmas issue came out, Virginia. Kirkland and Bill Cansler found a pair of miniature false teeth and a toy set of drums re- spectively, in their lockers! . It's nice to get to a basketball game especially if you know where it is! December 18, after Toby Orr had arrived in Troy to see our mighty team win Conly we lostlj he headed for the Hobart Arena thinking that was where such games were played. Upon arriving the ticket agent asked where his skates were and Toby replied, You don't need skates to see a basketball game! The man, a wee bit startled, asked what he meant. Then the man, after Toby had explained, di- rected him to the game, and Toby was soon enroute to Troy High! Remember Santa Claus who came to Kiser for the Student Council Variety Show? Ut was really Doug Pippin dressed as Santah. After he made his appear- ance he went to the clinic where two small children from a neighboring school were waiting to have their teeth fixed.

FRIDAY, JANUARY 15, 1954 ' fi, p Q T' 0 QQ WO fG,5fj we . 0 BY ALENE LAMBERT ESSIE MAE BAKER-Born here in Dayton on March 9, 1936, Essie Mae now lives at 1054 Valley Street and can be reached by dialing HE 3254. She is 5 ft. 4 in. tall and weighs 105 lbs., is a strawberry blond, and has hazel-green eyes. Her happiest moment was realizing she was a Senior and that her school days were com- ing to a rapid end. Then came her thoughts of what to do after grad- uation, so she chose to work in a bank. Not being able to keep from blushing when anything is said is one of Essie Mae's biggest and most embarrassing tasks. Her greatest disappointment came last year when she cou1dn't go to the Junior- Senior Prom. Herghobby is listening to Stran- Essgm, smug ger In Paradise and cooking. CHARLES DUANE HOOKER-Finding a big red lipstick imprint on his white letter sweater proved to be quite embarrassing for Duane, especially since it all happened at one of the All-City Dances about 'a year ago. He says she fell, but who will believe that? What a blast! Being elected captain of this year's varsity basketball team seems to be his happiest moment. His biggest disappointment, like everyone else's here at Kiser, was this year's football season, which is subject to change if a few more of those shots don't go in that basket at the basketball games. , His hobby is collecting records and he is a real true fan of Stan Kenton's. Any of his songs makes Duane happy, but the one he likes best is Artistry In Rhythm. Duane is secretary-treasurer of the I-Ii-Y, president of the Honor Society, and president of the Carrousel Teen Club. 4 Bom in Dayton, February 18, 1936, Duane now lives at 1012 Leo Street and can be reached by dialing AD 6364. He is five ft. 10115 in. tall with blond hair and green eyes. tSometimes they are green, that is, they change colors to go with his surroundings.J After graduation, he plans to attend-somefcollege but he isn't sure which school or what subjects to take yet. .

MARY SHIRLEY '54: It doesn't pay unless it is mad love. ROBERT CIMPRICH '57: Yes, if you like someone well enough, ,I guess it's alright to go steady. WILMA RISNER '58: I think it's al- right if you go with someone your own age. JANE KENT '54: I think it depends mostly on the age limit. By the time you're a Senior you usually know what you want. BEATRICE MASTERS '54: I think if the boy and girl understand each other and don't let their going steady interfere with their studies, it's O.K. JERRY CLINE '54: Going steady in high school is fine, that is, if you find the right person and the person finds you. If not it's best to just keep on looking. JOANNE COLLINS '58: If you like someone real well and your parents approve, then I think it's alright to go steady. ALMA LAFEVER '54: I don't think anyone should go steady in high school because you don't have a chance to meet other boys and girls and most likely you would miss out on a lot of fun. RUTH MILLER '55: No, because they can do more things if they don't go steady. JACKIE FARRIER '56: I think it's alright for most kids, but it's more fun playing the field because you meet more boys! MISS RUTH JONES-civics and so- cial problems teacher: No, they are too young to get involved and get serious. It's much better to go in groups and know a number of differ- 'ent people. C. E. SHANNON-ass't principal: I don't approve of it, but it's one of those things that bears investigation and requires parents' advice.

Stan began conducting his or- chestra back in 1941. Since then he has done all of his own arranging until just recently when Bill Russo took over part of the job. It was in SEATED AT, TIIE PIANO while leading his orchestra, is Capitol re- corder Stan Kenton. his first years of high school that Stan acquired his knowledge of ar- ranging.

He later mastered the saxophone, clar- inet, and trumpet. , When asked for his impression of the Teen Club, Mr. Kenton empha- sized great and wonderful He added, too, that he was amazed to see so many youths gather together and have such a grand time on the dance fioor.

Well, that record may be true, but have you ever stopped to think that basketball is just about as crazy? There are five men running back and forth in their underwear being chased by two zebras. And all they have to do is put the ball through the hole at the top of a board. Clevelanders are crying a tune which has been used by loyal flat- bush fans in recent years, Wait till next year. Those crazy boys who eat 3C were acting like grade school children in the recent snow. Seems they had a 25'foot ice slide in back of the school. The boys had a lot of fun trying to trip each other and a lot of them were successful. If you don't believe me ask Doug Pippin. It seems I'm not the only myster- ious writer at Kiser. The editor of your fine school paper received a note from a character who calls him or herself Elmer Goop. Elmer seems to think the Kiser Panther is a real mess to put it in his words. Journal- ism is not as simple as it looks and if you think you could have done better, then why aren't you in the class? They will be glad to have your advice.

Learning is all in practicing and it really isn't necessary to travel to Troy to enjoy the sport. No, all that is required is a few days of cold temperatures to freeze the Island Park lagoon deep enough for safe skating, just as it did during the cold spell we had right before Christmas. So if the chance comes, why not sharpen up the old skates and take a few whirls. And let me tell you from experience! The hardest part to skating, is the ice -when you come right down to it.

Having put eight games each under their belts, the Kiser Reserve and Freshman clubs are proud of their records. The Reserve team has won 7 out of 8 starts. h Reserves Really Romp .- This year Kiser Reserves have so far, compiled a spectacular record. Losing only one out bf eight games and scoring high in almost every game has put a pleased look on Coach Bill Stover's face. The Reserves aren't slop shots and here's proof to back up this fact. In the Piqua game, Frank Barger scored 20 points, while in the Troy game Aubrey Cornelius scored 17 points. This year' high point man, to date, is Frank Barger with 79 points at the end of the Beavercreek game which was played before Christmas. In the second scorer's spot is Ron- nie McCloskey with 61. Aubrey Cornelius is close on his heels with 57 as is also LeRoy Gabriel. Norman Hinders ranks next highest with 44, while Tom Schlorman comes next with 20. Larry Hollst has 18, Norman Naas 10, Robert Cimprich 7, and Sammy Veal 6. With a total of 362 points already scored this season, Kiser enters into city league com- petition as a strong team.

Cots, Tigers eet Jon. 221 At Coliseum Experienced with the weight of their first nine battles, the Kiser cage squad will engage Fairview this evening at the Fairgrounds coliseum. The tussle will be their second in the Big Eight competition. Giving our boys the most trouble tonight will probably be straight- shooting Bob Eyer, who, at the pres- ent, tops the city scoring list with an average of 18.4 points per game. Fairview is presently ranked 3rd on the offensive listings, with an average of 54.7 points per game, while the Panther hoopsters fall next in line with 53.' Following tonight's duel, the Kiser schedule card shows us that we will not have another encounter until Jan. 22, when we meet Stivers for our third league game. With their triumph over Spring- field at the fairgrounds nine days ago, the Stivers Tigers gained an im- pressive record of 6 wins and 1 defeat. Their defeat came by way of Hamil- ton Public, who also provided a loss for Roosevelt, marring the Teddies' otherwise perfect record. Stivers claims two of the cities top ten scorers. They are 6 ft. 2 Dillis CRedJ Lee and Jack Hamer who has thus far averaged 13.3 points. Captain Duane Hooker, Kiser's only representative on the slist, hai, chalked up for the Cats so far this season, 26 baskets and 10 foul shots for a total of 621 His average stands at 12.4 points a game. Other Tigers, whom .the K.H.S. bucketboys will have to tame are Mountjoy, Ferguson, and swift little Dale Keiter. H l 9 Ice cream I -l ' Soft drinks Sandwiches ' Tl'0y Q L60 SIS.

BY DUANE HOOKER What's the matter with the team? The team's all right! Well, who says so? I don't. Is there actually something wrong, or is it our imagination? Have we been losing because of inferior mate- rial or has it been the coaching? Ma be it has been both.

I have played two years of varsity football, basketball, and track. I'm sure we were coached as well and had as much. material as any other school in town. Here is my story on what is wrong: It doesn't hurt to lose. You don't care, I don't care, the players don't care, and Tom, Dick, Judy, Jack and Bill don't care. You will find this true of the faculty as well as the students. Oh, it hurts a little bit, but not enough. Kiser High School has lost so many games since I've been here that it isn't new to lose. Why should I care if we lose? Have any other teams ever won? I think that is what the players think and the rest of the school is doing nothing to help. A few upper-classmen remember 1951. That was the last time that we had a good year in athletics. This year's football team had great possibilities. Now it's too late. In my mind this year's basketball team was loaded. It still is. However, it is not yet too late-not completely. It could be. Time's rolling away fast. I think we can catch it. Do you? Class Tours News, Mon.

After graduation she plans to attend Bowling Green University but is not sure of her major. WILLIAM DAVID HEERMAN,' JR. VIII-Were you ever really embarrassed? Well, Bill surely was the day he came to school with a hole in the seat of his pants. You would be too, I guess. His biggest diSaP- pointment was seeing Westem Kentucky beat U.D. His happiest moment came when he got his '53 Oldsmobile 88 al- though the ownership is shared with other members of the family. Now the car has turned out to be his hobby. Outside of working on his car, Bill finds time to be vice-president of the Latin Club and has a tem- pory membership with the Miami Valley Custom Club. He was born August 26, 1936, and ten minutes later his twin brother Bob was born, they are identical twins. He now lives on Kittridge Rd., and can be reached by dialing AD 4882. He stands 5 ft. 83A in., and tips the Wolfe Studlo Wolfe Studlo scale at 128 lbs., has brown hair and brown eyes. Rating top on his list of hit songs is Till Then and his favorite subject is 3-A flunch periodl. He claims his pet peave is Jerry Cline this best friendj. After graduation, Bill plans-to go to college but has not yet decided which one. He will either choose Uni- versity of Florida or University of Cincinnati. 7-.lzunb -.+:' :':'.- -.1:':'i. ,t I ,.-.w:'.- .1-'.'.---.-.-.

For those of you wondering what Pm talking about, here 'tis. You see, after the Kiser-Fairview game at the coliseum, Roosevelt and Wilbur Wright played. Playing for Wright was Dick Beckham who wore a plastic eye guard. According to Bill Dixon, another Wrighter, Dick had, in a previous game, cut his eye and the guard was to protect his eye from another such accident. However, two Kiser girls. Orpha Williams and Alene Lambert, not knowing this, had ideas and questions of their own. Their conversa- tion ran like this: ' Al, look! cried Orpha, That guy's wearing a wind- shield! Oh, sure! said Alene. Well, what for? I don't know, came Alene's reply. It's raining out- side and maybe he doesn't want to get his eyes wet! 0h! said Orpha. However, Orpha was still pondering this situation and later asked: Wonder if he has any windshield wipers? 'fl don't see any, said Alene. . Well, what if someone would spit in his eye! Sorry, said Al, he'll just have to suffer! Now, tell me kids, don't you ' think all assignments done in class should be handed in? Bill Heerman - doesn't think so. Why? Last Friday ' Mr. Sparks, typing teacher, an- nounced it was to be a free period where everyone could type what he pleased. He suggested that 'they write letters since that is what the class had been doing most of the last semester. Bill's hand shot into the air and he asked, Do we have to hand in these letters for you to read Mr. Sparks, to our disappointment, said, No. But we're still wondering what was in that letter! Is this your bedtime prayer? WWF 0 sf .:nS.vha- , Now I lay me down to sleep ,V Although my homework's not complete. But when I ,rise with this undone- That's okaylvl won't he the only one! Am? LU'1uz1T ? I BY SHIRLEY LAIVIBERT Time passed, did you? Or are you worrying about the second semester? Let's see who these worried people are. Miss Whozit was bom in Dayton, Ohio, February 27, 1939. She is 5 feet 4Vg inches tall and weighs 110 pounds. Stuart-Patterson is where she can be found if not at 646 Keowee Street. One might be able to talk to her by dialing AD 4381. Among her many friends are Nancy Heidereich and Rheta Walker. She has brown hair and brown eyes. Mr. Whozit was also bom in Day- ton, Ohio, September 18, 1938 with blond hair and blue eyes. He is 5 feet 7 inches tall and weighs 125 pounds. He lives at 157 Alton Avenue and you might be able to reach him by dialing MI 2804. If he isn't there he will probably be at Stuart-Patterson Park with Bob Thomas and Tony Hopkins. If you don't know who the Whozits are look in the ads. J Photo by Toby Orr Students Drop Subjects Of First Semester, Why? There are students who dropped subjects they were taking the first semester. Why? Usually it can be summed up in three ways. First, the subject was harder than they antici- pated, second, they didn't work enough on the subject, third, they didn't like the teacher because he was too strict. You will never get far in this world if you let something difiicult stand in your way. Everytime you come against something more diffi- cult than you think you can man- age, you try to evade it. Instead of avoiding it you should make it your goal, and be determined you are going to do it. Someone once said If at first you don't succeed, try, try again. This is a true statement and you should make it your policy. It is the people who work and stick to it, no matter what the difficulties are, that make a success in this world. Also remember, A quitter never wins, and a winner never quits. , Was the teacher really too strict? Probably not. You didn't keep your work up to date, and once you got behind it was hard to catch up. Or you probably were too lazy to do it anyway. Don't be a person to sit back and let the other fellow do the work. If you really want something out of life, you have to put something into-it. Jed Somers says the average wom- an has a smaller stock of words than the ordinary man, but the turnover is greater. , , , .K 51 . -' --' f ., ,, . 1 ,f 1.1 . - .5 .- .. . V - 1' J- ' .. I' H '.

DEAR STUDES: Well, boys, I suppose you have heard the shocking news. Yes, it's true Marilyn Knot Webbj has gotten married. What, you didn't know? Well, read Ted Strader's Fads, Fash- ions 'n' Facts, and find out to whom she has been holy wedlocked. Deacon Andy is at it again. As many of you may remember in my last letter I talked about his record What It Was, Was Football. Well, he now has a real cultured one out entitled Romeo and Juliet . Man it's real gone! It seems that there is finally some- thing successful in Dayton for teen- agers. I am referring, of course, to the Carrousel Teen Club. Every week or so there is an attendance record -broken. X Poor Joan Brewer! Ever since they took me off page two, she has had more words to write. So, if you know of any funny or unusual happenings, let her know via the Panther Box or in person. She really is a nice kid. Then too, it is a chance to see your name in print. Some of you may have wondered where my clues to my identity have been for the last few issues. Well, in one of my future letters I will enclose a picture of myself. .

These are the only motives I can give on behalf of those Kiser fellows who have been borrowing mustard seed necklaces from the young ladies. They wear them either around their necks or on key chains.

IN JUST THREE DAYS, little Mr. Ground Hog will poke his sleepy nose from his hole, sniff the fresh air, and look around. If the sun is out he will probably see his own shadow and scamper back into the ground fright- ened. This means we are destined for more bad weather. But, if there is no 1 sun to cast a shadow of the little beast, he will stay out, bringing with him sunshine and fairer weather. So, on Ground Hog Day this February 2, let's all hope that Mr. Hog doesn't see his shadow. HAVE YOU HEARD who owns Joe DiMaggio now? He signed the contract about two weeks ago. How- ever, the document was a little out of the ordinary, for you see, it was a marriage license. Yes, Joe went and did it and here's hoping he doesn't strike out.

Their record is 7 wins to 4 losses and they are in third position as far as Kiser teams are concemed. The Eighth Grade along with the Fresh- men have an untamished record which puts the Reserves in third place. The Reservists have had their hand in many a varsity game and have NORMAN NAAS, above, is the Junior on the reserve team. recently lost one of their players to the varsity. There are only four city games and two out-of-town games to be' played by the Reserves. Making up the team are names like: Naas, fthe only Junior on the reservesb, McCloskey, Cimprich, Cornelius, forwards, Barger at cen- terg Veal, Hollst, Stritenberger and Worrell, at guards. Each player ex- cept Naas, is a Sophomore. Bill Stritenberger, Cornelius, Bar- ger and Worrell have been used as starters in place of some varsity men on certain occasions and have shown promise. Stritenberger and Worrell have more varsity experience than the other two. Frosh Win First 2: Teddy Tilt Is Tonight With four games left to be played this season, the Kiser Frosh team boasts a 2-0 record to date. Roose- velt looms ahead as the most invin- cible team to top. This year's Frosh team is superior to most previous Freshman teams. Producing faster power in the game has been the necessary spark to put this team on top. On January 7, Belmont fell to Kiser 39-18 as did Col. White on the 15th by a score of 42-26. During the Col. White game Hurshel Parker scored 18 points or 9 out of an attempted 11 shots. - Here is the sports eye-view of the Frosh's season: Jan. 7, Kiser 39, Belmont 18 Jan. 15, Kiser 42, Col.

Tumblers Start Workouts About 20 people responded to Sophomore Frank Stall's call for students who wished to learn to tumble. Practice started last Tuesday with Coach Hughes supervising. Practices are being held after school in the gym, so, if you hear any loud crashes from that direction, be calm, it's not an A-mob test, just tumblers learning the fundamentals. A Short, Short Story Claiming the title as the country's tallest college basketball player is a fellow named Wade C Swede J Hal- brook of Oregon State. Wade fwho is a mere mite of 7 ft. 3 in.J is a Sophomore on the Oregon team and averages 23.7 points per game. Not only is he a tall boy, but the average height of the entire team is 6 ft. 3 in. 8th Grade Rolls On Kiser's 8th grade cage squad -con- tinued its winnihg ways, copping their last three encounters by deci- sive margins. These victories ran the kitten's win string to eight consecu- tive triumphs without a defeat. In the last three contests the young cagesters have beaten McKinley by a 43-16 count, completely swamped Centerville by a lop-sided 78-23 score, and soundly defeated a spirited Washington quintet, 35-25. Grade Schools Have lst Jamboree, Friday Next Friday the first annual grade school basketball jamboree will be held in the Kiser gym. Teams from Allen, McGuEey, Webster, and Kiser will participate.

HE 2884- I Dayton, Ohio Encounter Wolverines February 47 Clash At Springfield Following Night With an unimpressive record of one win against ten losses, the Panther bucket boys will meet the Roosevelt Teddies tomorrow night at the Fairgrounds coliseum. Presently the Teddies are ranked as the state's third best Class A squad by the Associated Press poll. The top two are Hamilton, Helpless Cats Tromped By Dogs, Tigers Kiser's Panthers kept up their good standing in the loser's column drop- ping their last two games to Fairview 62-28 and Stivers 68-29. Cats Sorry For 'Dogs? Sid Haller's cagesters must have felt sorry for the Fairview Bulldogs, January 15, at the coliseum when thep dropped a 62-28 verdict. In the opening periods the Cats did just about everything wrong. At one time in the second period Kiser handed the ball to Fairview five times which resulted in 10 points for the Dogs. Kiser's first string was only able to outscore Fairview in the clos- ing minutes of the game when the Bulldogs used their second string. Carroll Taylor was high with 13 tal- lies. ' Too Much Hamer Stivers' Tigers showed they had a coach with a heart when they played Kiser last Friday at the coliseum. R. C. Skip LaRue, Stivers' coach, used 18 players in an attempt to keep his Tigers from running wild at the ex- pense of the helpless Panthers. Jack Harner, Stivers' forward, lead the way in the first period on five lay- ups for 10 points. Dillis Lee, the star forward, started slow, but finished with a total of 12 points. ' Keglers Organized Bowling leagues are being formed for all teenagers in the Miami Valley by the National Bowling Lanes, at 1115 Brown Street. These leagues are being formed to create a greater interest in the ,ten pin alley sport here in Dayton. Teenagers who are members of these groups will receive special reduced rates when bowling. Applications are being taken by Bar- bara Bates in room 107. who downed the Teddies 50-48, and last year's state champs, Middle- town, who were topped this season 58-52 by Roosevelt. X Roosevelt claims three of the top ten scorers here in the city beauti- ful. They are Norm Lee, Uriah Hol- lis, and Tony Stel. Their point per game averages are 17.8, 12.9, and 12.2, respectively. Heading the list is Fair- view's Bob Evers with a total of 160 points. This averages 17.8 per clash. Under the direction of Coach Johnny Woolum, the Roosevelt Third RECENTLY moved up to varsity position was Leroy Gabriel '55, pic- tured above. f' Streeters are sitting pretty at the top of the team oifense listings with an average of 64.7 pts. a game. The Ted- dies also boast a record of 9 wins and 1 loss. Tilting with the Panther Five on the following Thurs., Feb, 4, will be the Dunbar Wolverines. Giving our boys the most trouble on behalf of the Dunbar club will probably be Peters, Reynolds, and Turney, the first two of whom are ranked among the cities top ten dunkers. Dunbar's squad, whose record now stands at 4 and 8, experienced a lucky break Jan. 2, when Patterson was forced to forfeit their victory over the Wolverines, due to an in- fraction of an Ohio High School Athletic Association rule. Following the Dunbar clash, Kiser will travel to Springfield for their 14th encounter. -I Ice cream l 9 H artel s Soft dffne S d ' h Troy 8 Leo Sis.

He also holds some weight-lifting titles. He is 5 ft. 8 in. and weighs 160 pounds. Although Mr. Schmidt had only been taking piano lessons for three weeks when he was here, he has been writing music and Columbia motion pictures will publish one of his compositions. He attributes, his natural talent to his mother, who was a concert pianist. In the summer, Mr. and Mrs. Schmidt travel with Sam Howard's Water Thrills show. Their stage appearances occupy their time the rest of the year, with an average of seven shows a week. Being real troupers, they got up at 3:30 a.m. and battled their way through a snowstorm in order to pre- sent the show to the Kiser students. By the second assembly they were literally exhausted but no one ever suspected because the second show was as magnificent as the first. . Eff' -'Q WNO -QN, sl ff ,f ,Ne '-if M' fl f' Y H- .

But, on the question of six months' training with seven and one-half years Ready Reserves to follow, the boys deadlocked with 20 for and the same amount against. By a vote of 24 to 19 the girls tumed down the lots drawing plan, and also the plan for seven and one- half years with the Ready Reserves by a vote of 20 for and 13 against. A new sort of induction plan seems to be what the girls want, for they also tumed down by a 17 to 11 vote, the plan for two years' active duty followed by six years Sta.nd-by- Reserves. Whereas, the boys were in favor of this plan, giving it a 20 to 17 vote. On the question whether 'or not girls should prepare for a career other than home-making, the vote by the girls was 48 to 1 that such pre- paration should be made. Boys voted 46 yes and that it was a good idea, while only two voted against it.

She was about to jump into her suit when she found she had forgotten it. So, she had to put her clothes back on, walk home to Valley Street, get her suit, and come back. It was a hot day but she made it home and back in 45 min- utes. The others were still laughing when she retumed. Did you know Principal D. L.

The red is the blood of our soldiers shed, God rest the souls of the men who are dead, And yet as they died each one knew, The white is the pure of this Great Land, They had helped keep our country safe and true.

Let Nothing Interfere With Your Ambitious Just because you weren't born with a silver spoon in your mouth, is no reason why you can't make something out of yourself. Some people think that if they live in a poor section of town that there is no hope for them to ever get any- where in this big world. A person could be born and raised in the most poverty-stricken place in the world, but if he has determina- tion, he can really get where he wants to. For example, take Abraham Lin- coln, whose birthday we celebrate today. Remember how he was born in a log cabin, but rose to be one of the greatest men in history. Lincoln wasn't the only person born under such circumstances. For in- stance, Benjamin Franklin and An- drew Jackson were bofh great men who came from poor families. Of course, you don't have to be a politician to become famous. Movie actors aren't always born wealthy. Take Eddie Cantor, and Danny Thomas, they both went to the top and have gained great fame. There have been educators, ministers, industrialists and many more who have worked their way to the top. This just goes to show you that no matter who you are or where you were bom, you can make something out df yourself. lQ.i!.Ql!QL..?

BY ALENE LAMBERT VIR.GlNIA ANN ROBERTS-Being homecoming at- tendent this year and getting to go to the Junior-Senior prom last year were two of Ann's happiest moments. Born in Xenia, Ohio, July 8, 1936, she came to Dayton 11 years ago and now lives at 2524 Warrendale Ave., and can be reached by dialing Mlchigan 2157. She is five feet six inches tall with black hair and brown eyes. Her favorite subject is driving and her funniest experience came when yours truly was first to drive. It really wasn't very funny though. Till Then rates high on the list with Ann as a hit tune. She is Inter-Club Council repre- sentative of the Y-Teen Club, treas- urer of the Future Nurses Club, and a member of the Carrousel Teen Club. Her pet peave is to hear someone who knows your name, continually say, Hey, girl. Plans after graduation are to either be a nurse or get a job in an office. For a pastime Ann teases UD Doug Pippin, Leon Roberts, Cno relationj, and Curt Williams. ROBERT HOUSTON HEER- MANN-Although it does not seem possible, Bob is sergeant-at-arms of the sixth period social problems class. He is also one of the clowns in the class. Bob is president of the second year Latin Club, tem- porary member of Miami Valley Custom Club, and a member of the Junior Council on World Affairs. He was the most . . . embarrassed person when he waited in line for a half hour to see a movie and dis- covered he'd forgotten his money. Imagine, if you can, how the poor girl felt! What a blast! Happiest moment in Bob's life came when his parents told him that he was to have a trip to Florida for gradu- ation. So after he gets back from there, he plans to go to college if he doesn't get caught by Uncle Sam. His favorite song is Till We Two Are Ohef' and his pet peave is hearing his little brother grit his teeth while asleep. Gym is his favorite subject. Bob is 5 ft. 9 in. tall and weighs 132 pounds.

GROCERIES MEATS FOUNTAIN SERVICE ana Q 'n'4dcfd BY TED STRADER FIRST OF ALL I'd like to acknowledge a certain two notes which were found in the Panther box addressed to Fads, Fashions and Facts. Judging from the handwriting they were by the same author, fwho slyly put them on different kinds of paperj. But they were ficticiously signed so I have no idea who actually Wrote them. They of course pertained to the same bit of news which went something like this: Someone with a misplaced eyebrow? No, it's a mustache and we think its quite be- coming. And it's real. Well, I thought it was quite becoming, too. Besides, who knows, maybe his lip got cold! CStolen from the Jr. Class Play script.J I WAS SORT of baffled with the guys and their mustard seeds. But now I'm wondering about those fel- lows and their pink sweaters. Just kidding, they're real cool! EVERYQNEYS ,HEARD of the Phantom of the Opera.

Mr. Ree's favorite pastime seems to be writing letters to the Panther staff and stick- ing them in the crack of the door down at 107. Cunning, eh?

Yes, I sup- pose you know that the man whose birthday this is was a great help to the American people. Two hundred and eight years ago, Thaddeus Kos- ciusko, a Polish hero of the American Revolution, was bom. Fooled you, didn't I? I'll bet you thought I was going to mention that it was John L. Lewis' birthday, which it is. Little Alene Lambert seems to have her problems. Other than hav- ing her name at the top of another column her name is seldom the Panther. So, Hi, Alene! You're a real cute girl. Ever dance with a broom? Well, at a recent dance at Stuart- Patterson, the band leader handed out four brooms to four different people. It's really fun espe- cially if you turn the broom upside down. Then it has a burr. Enclosed is a print of one of my toes. Hope it will be of some help to you. If a certain group of joumalism students don't watch out they will be in here with me. After returning from the Dayton News nine of them flopped in Toby Orr's car and away they went to the Country Kitchen where two of my favorite guards kept their two little eye balls on seen in them.

It is a full-time college cooperative program in tool engineering, me- chanical technology, accountancy, and general business management starting next September 8. This is an exceptional opportunity, and in fact, the only education pro- gram available in Dayton on the col- lege level.

Wolverines Fall Victim To Tay or K.iser's Panthers finally broke their losing streak by beating Dunbar 46- 35 while dropping games to Roosevelt 56-36 and Springfield Public 63-42. Teds Too Tall Playing an inspired game against the Roosevelt Teddies, the Kiser Panthers proved that basketball can still be played by the little men. The Panthers out-fought, and out- drove the Teddies, but they couldn't manage to grow long bodies to com- bat the Teds. Duane Hooker, Kiser firey captain, was high man for the Panthers with 11 points. Don't Read Papers Sid Haller's crew must not have read the newspapers, February 4 when they beat Dunbar 46-35. Ac- cording to the local rags, Kiser was supposed to lose. Replacing John Salty Guffey in the first period, Carroll Taylor came off the bench to score 26 points and led the way to an upset victory over. Dunbar. Carroll was able to hit 7 out of 8 field goals in the first half and ended up with 19 points. Being double team in the second half he managed to score only 7 points. Back In Line After winning the night before, the Panthers fell right back in their old rut by dropping a-63-42 tilt to Spring- field. .. , A Public seemed to have a good night from the field, hitting about 50 per cent of their shots. Howie Miller, Kiser stalwart forward, was high for the night with 15 points. Sophomore Trio Spork Reserves To City Victory Driving layup shots and tremend- ous rebounding by Stritenberger, McCloskey, and Worrell were the highlights of the Kiser Reserves ver- sus the Dunbar Reserves game. At halftime our Reserves were ahead 24-21, which set the pace for the remaining half. As the buzzer sounded at the end of the third quar- ter it found Kiser with a one point edge, 36 to 35. High point men were McCloskey with 14, and Worrell with 10. Other high scorers were Hollst with 6 and Cornelius with 4. After the 49 to 41 win over Dunbar! the Reserves had a record standing of 2 wins and 3 losses in city compe- tition. Friday at Springfield,.Kiser's high- spirited playing of the previous night was of no avail as they were behind 22 11 at the half. But after the third quarter began McCloskey, Cor- nelius, Barger, Worrell, and Striten- berger set the pace with an average pf 7 points each. The final score was R heated 31 to 33, Springfield on top. 943.gif . ,L ' EXPECTED T0 SEE their share of action against Chaminade tomorrow are the pair of Hallermen pictured above. They are six foot three, 190 pound Howie Miller fleftj and five foot eleven, 165 pound Ken Weese Crightj. Both cagers hold down forward positions. CPhot0 by Paul Griffyj 'lllll PRRTS Ll E BY JERRY CLINE Kittens Crowned Champs Kiser's 8th grade team made it eight straight in league competition and took the Eastern Division Championship by dumping McGuf- fey, 38-16 last Friday night in the Kiser gym. Previous to the Championship game, the kittens downed Grant by a crushing 45-8 count and flew by Franklin 39-18. These two plus the victory over McGuffey wound up an undefeated season with a string of 11 victories. Ably coached by Jim Hughes, the boys, who will be Kiser's varsity one of these days, are proof of the efficiency of Roy James and Sid Haller's five-year plan. Eleven boys make up the squad Cone for each seasonal victoryj and they are: Denzil Higgins, Fred Dye, John Jacobs, Leroy Schlereth, Paul Plummer, Darrell Sendral, Roger Galloway, Richard Gould, James Frosh Forfeit 2 Gomes Due To Rules Infroction Because of an infraction of the Ohio Athletic Eligibility Code, Kiser's Frosh team has had to forfeit games to Phillipsburg and Stivers. The rule states that any player must not be on more than one team at one time in high school basketball. Ronnie Taylor was proven ineligible since he played in a game in the Mad River class B league. The Phillipsburg contest will-not count in city competition because it was a non-league game. Ronnie also played in the Roosevelt game which Kiser lost. The coaches decided not to penalize the Kiser club since the Roosevelt game already stood as a loss. The Frosh club, after all is settled, boasts a 2 win-3 loss record. Losses to Roosevelt 45-25, and Dunbar 40- 29 with one counted forfeit to Stivers are the only black marks on their slates while wins over Belmont and Fairview show the Kiser team can really go. Chaminocle, Pilots Offer Lost Chance Can they do it or not? Can the Kiser varsity basketball squad-man- age to salvage another victory from their remaining big-eight clashes? This is yet to be seen in the next three days when the Panthers will engage their last two league con- testants, the Charninade Eagles and the Wilbur Wright Pilots. The first of these games, against Chaminade, is scheduled for tomor- row night. Chaminade, which presently is the only city team having a balanced record C8 wins and lossesj ranks sixth on the team offensive listings with an average of 49.8 points per game. The Kiser cagers fall next in line with 46.2 a game, However, their record, which now stands at 2 wins and 11 losses, is much less impressive than the Eagles'. Chaminade's all-city football quar- terback, Don Zimmerman, must have something on the ball in the cage game, too, for he now leads his team's league scoring list with 11.5 points per tilt. Don will, no doubt, prove to be one of the Eagles who will have to be stopped tomorrow night by the Panther five. Monday will mark the date of the Cat's next and last city tussel when they meet the Wright Pilots for their 16th game of the season. Wright's Bing Davis is their only player rating among the top ten scor- ers at the present. Bing ranks sixth on the list with 13.5 tallies per game. Holding the top position is big, slen- der Norm Lee of Roosevelt. He has thus far averaged almost 16 points a game. The Pilots' record stands at 8 wins and 4 losses. Their position on the team offensive list is fourth, under Roosevelt, Stivers, and Fairview. Wife -.T. ...I FOR MODERN PHOTOGRAPHY Allams 7001 ' Agee, Larry Hart and Herschel Mc- - --, , 1 Curry.

Studes Pick Colleges Carelessly Tlrere is much evidence that large numbers of students are enrolled in colleges that are poorly suited to their needs or vocational ambitions. This fact was brought out in a recent issue of the Guidance Newsletter. According to a recent study of 461 Seniors in 12 Pittsburgh high schools who planned to attend a particular college or university, it was found that: Eighty-seven per cent were unfa- miliar with the curricular offering of the college to which they had ap- plied. Forty-three of the graduates had picked a school that offered no training in their chosen vocations. Seventy-two per cent had not in- vestigated their college's academic standing as rated by an accrediting agency. I Finally, only thirty-seven percent had an acceptable understanding of the educational program of the col- lege they planned to attend. Teenagers! t Waulzl You 'f like to Warlr in Raffu . . .

Photo by Toby Orr This really looks like folks are get- ting their heads together for a change. Let's see who they are. ' Miss Whozit resides at 283 Air Street and answers to the ringing of telephone number HE 8825. Weighing 118 lbs., she stands 5 ft. 7 in. tall and has light brown hair and blue eyes. Some of her many friends are Janet Lanter and Catherine Fretic. Miss Whozit finds skating interesting. Mr. Whozit lives at 282 Air Street, and one might be able to reach him by dialing HE 4797. He is a little 5 ft. 3 in., 128 pound basketball player for the Eighth grade, and has brown hair and brown eyes. Shock's is where he can be seen with Roger Galloway, Paul Plummer, and Denzil Higgins. Both the Whozits are in the Eighth grade and -went to Webster last year. If there aren't enough facts for you to guess who the Whozits are, look in the ads. Many Support Winnersg Few Get Behind Losers How many of Kiser's basketball games have you attended this win- ter? One, two, five, all of them? It's doubtful if anyone can say they've been to all of the games, but if some- one has, then that person is an ex- ception. 1 . When a team is winning, everyone is all for that team, simply because the majority of the people today al- ways want to be on the winning side. A winning team has people support- ing it who wouldn't ordinarily even be around if the team were losing. Several years ago here at Kiser, we had a winning basketball team, one that hooked together a string of 13 victories without a defeat. Then everyone came to the basketball games. Why? Because we were win- ning. But we are not winning now, and how many of you are going or have gone to the games? A look at the record of the ticket sales will show the number to be few. Losing is no fun, everyone knows that, but just because a team is losing doesn't mean that they still don't need the support of the student body. It's toolate for anything to be done about the attendance at this year's games. This year is over, and the next cage season is a long way off. So, when basketball time rolls around again in December, let's really get out and support the team. Like the of the Brooklyn Dodgers always say, Walt'll.next year. . .A ,. , ii.

CHARLEEN SUGGS-Coming to Kiser in her Freshman year from Allen is this five ft. three in. girl with brown hair and eyes who weighs 108 pounds. Being tapped into the honor society was Charleen's happiest moment. Her biggest disappointment came when she was unable to attend the Junior-Senior Prom since they are always closed. For a hobby she sews and for a pastime her favorite sport is ping pong. The subject she likes best is shorthand. Charleen's pet peeve is people who crack their chewing gum. Born in Amos, Arkansas, Sep- tember 15, 1936, you can now reach her by dialing HE 6057 or by going out to 1409 Valley Street. To make her happy, just play Secret Love by Perry Como and give her french fries and a Country Boy hamburger. Plans after graduation include a secretarial job in a bank or a law office. PAUL FREIER GRIFFY-Brown hair and blue eyes found under a crew cut and on a six ft. one and a half in. boy that weighs 195 pounds, fits this guy to a tee. .Paul was born in Dayton, Ohio, February 7, 1935, and now lives at 4977 Franlou Drive and can be reached by dialing OL 0060. His hobby is coaching the fifth and sixth grade basketball teams. He has had two championship teams, one in the season of 1951-52 and the other one in 1952-53. His happiest moment came when his teams won two championships in a row. Wol!e.Studlo PAUL Wolfe Studio when he found out there was no Santa Claus and his second disappointment came when he did not get an electric train last Christmas. Plans after graduation are to be a toolmaker or go to Wilmington college and take a physical education course. X You can make him happy with ham and sweet pota- toes or by playing Stranger In Paradise and Heart of 'My Heart by the Four Aces.

With Rhythmaire's band to set the pace, Better get that date, I've got mine! I'm sorry Cynthia, I flubbed. If you are wondering what I'm apologizing for, it's because I left Cynthia Buck's name out of the cast list in the Junior Class play story in the last issue of the Panther. Cynthia played the role of Mary Ann, that gal next door. Paging all girls! With the Y-Teen formal coming up, let's - not get behind the eight-ball and miss getting that certain guy you were going to ask. Here are the names or some of Senior girl and boy couples already reserved: Janet Hanes--Jerry Cline Barbara Ryan-Doug Pippin Leota Seale-Curtis Williams Barbara Bates-Joe Balogh Joan Stutz-Jim Reger 'Twas on a rainy, rainy day when Leota Seale and Barbara Bates were trudging their weary ways toward school against a hard rain, when all of a sudden-Boing! One of the springs in Leota's umbrella popped out. Barbara stopped to' pick it up and when she handed it to Leota, she was so dumb-fo1mded she let the um- brella ily out of her hands. Then she and Barbara were seen chasing the umbrella for a block! Nothing like a little excitement for a rainy morning! Sometimes we cheerleaders wonder if we are any good because we hear re- marks pro and com But when the op- posing team throws a wet towel in your face, you know something's rotten 'in Denmark. Here's the pitch. February 13, at the Chaminade-Kiser basketball game this happened. We fthe cheerleadersh had doing a -cheer at time-out and were nmning olf the floor to our bench when one of the Chaniinade players threw a towel in Pauline Tatone's face. We still don't know if it's because they don't like us or if the towel was intended for a teammate. CWe hope it's the latter!! Say kids' here's a real brain-teaser. Got your think- ing-caps on? O.K. Now tell me, why do you strain egg- whites? Lately our home-ec class was pondering this when Ann McLaurin came up with the brainy idea that it was to strain the germs out! Poor kid, she's got it bad. 0 ' A This last poem was written by an eighth grader, Terry -Shank.

DELORES WITHEM '55: I like the Panther because it tells you all of the news and the happenings about the school. SHIRLEY STANLEY '56s I like the Panther because it tells a variety of different events that take place in and around school. This brings you up to date on the latest news. ANN WYSKIVER '57: They need more pictures in the Whozit column instead of just two at a time. MARILYN WEBB '56s I don't like Al Catraz because he or she won't tell who they are. I think Ted Strader is doing a swell job with the Fads, Fashions and Facts column. RUTH MATTHEWS '54: In the last edition CFeb. 121 the pictures weren't too clear, but other than that the Panther rates tops! 'LARRY YORK '56: I think that the Panther is the best school paper in Dayton, because it tells of so many interesting things about the kids in and around Kiser - things you haven't heard about. KATHERINE SABO '55: I like everything in the Panther, but I would like to see names of different people in it sometime. ARTHUR TOWSON '56: I like the You Tell Me column because of its variety. SUE CHRISTIAN '54: The only thing I dislike about the Panther is that I think it is too thin. It should be at least two pages bigger. WANDA LINVILLE '56: The whole paper is real good, but it should' be bigger. JENNIE SHADE '55: You always hear kids talking about the Panther, but I know as a reporter we do our best in the short time we are allotted. Of course, I'rn prejudiced, but I think the Panther is the BEST!

Well, I read the Panther and dis- covered that I wasn't the only mys- terious writer at Kiserg I was shocked! According to Ted, his name is Mr. Ree. I have in my possession letters he has written to the staff and part of this letter will tell the contents of them. the fact that Marilyn Monroe had gotten married. Mr. Ree 'says I shouldn't feel bad because she was married. To cheer me up he sent me the names of Pauline Tatone and Judy Wombold as girls to take her place Cin my mindl and the rest of the red-blooded boys of Kiser. A note found in the Panther box indicated that the student body is going around checking everyone's toe print all because I had a print of one of my little ol' toes in the last issue. The other day a comment was made in the boys' rest room concern- ing the windows being knocked out. It went something like this, Boy its just like back home. Talk about crazy mixed up people! The Panther staff rates high there. In the last issue of the Panther, not one word was mentioned 'about Valentine's Day which followed two days later.

IT WAS REPORTED that 25 per cent of the men who get married pro- posed while driving a car. Which goes to show, more accidents occur on the road than anywhere else. BE GAY, graceful, and kind is a springtime tip to the fairer sex from Ruth Imler, sub-deb editor of the Ladies Home Journal. Ruth says that if your heart is gay as well as young, you'll be attractive to everybody. A girl who has the imagination to make an adventure of a walk in the rain or a joke of a minor accident is easy for the world to love. Then there's grace. It requires only a little more initial effort to walk like a model than like a duck. But kind- ness is probably the essence of charm. A truly charming girl is nice to peo- ple. So, bearing this in mind, why not take a second look at your character through a critical eye. And, who cultivate a new you. 288 Students Protected Out of 917 Kiser students, 288, or a percentage of .313 bought accident insurance from.,the World Insurance Company.

Highlights of this assembly will be crowning of the king and queen elected from the Senior class, and showing of the movie Tulsa King and queen were elected by ballots. One ballot for king and one ballot for queen was given to stu- dents for each dollar's worth of sub- scriptions sold. Four grand prizes will be given to the highest and second highest girl and boy. Twenty-five dollars to each high girl and boy and ten dollars to the second highest girl and boy. Any student selling over S30 worth of subscriptions will get a day off from school to go to Springfield, Ohio, to visit the Crowell-Collier Publishing Company. , Students selling at least two maga- zines at two different addresses are eligible for premiums. Forms for these premiums were distributed Monday. One point for each dollar's worth of Crowell magazines and one- half point for each general list maga- zine was given. Dr. F. D. Slutz To Speak Here Dr. F. D. Slutz, well-known edu- cator and a leader in the field of vocational counseling, will speak at Kiser, March 23. s In' the morning he will lead four conferences for the Seniors. He will counsel with them on student prob- lems involving marriage, college, and work in industry. That same evening he addresses the Kiser P,-T.A. With such a well-known man coming to Kiser, every student should make an effort to attend this P.-T.A. meeting with his parents, said W. M. Stover, one of Kiser's vocational counselors.

Students will leave the school at 8:30 A.M. on buses provided by the company, and will arrive at Moraine City at 9 A.M. At 2:30 P.M. students will leave the plant and return to school where they will be dismissed. Besides 165 Juniorsvifrom Kiser, there will be 258 Stivers' Jimiors visiting Moraine City the same day. A full day program is planned which includes touring the plants, showing of films, and several speeches. Lunch will be served the visitors through the coLu'tesy of their host, General Motors. The idea of Visitation Day is not necessarily to interest the pupils in factory work, but to show them what goes on around them every day. Junior classes of the past several years have visited Moraine City. Seniors participated in the same type of program last October 14, when they visited various industries in Dayton.

Y Misbehvaior Can Ruin Y-Teen Formal Tonight Are you going to the Y-Teen for- mal tonight? This seems to be the question everyone here at school is asking. The formal is really a reward for the girls who have worked hard all year and attended the meetings faith- fully. Like any other club, there are Y-Teen members who join just so they can attend big events such as the one tonight. Does this shoe fit your foot? If it does wear it! This year's Y-Teen formal can be a success, or a flop. lt all depends on the behavior of the persons attend- ing. One thing that can easily ruin the dance is intoxicating drinks. A few teenagers, mostly boys, seem to think they must take a bottle to a formal in order to make a hit with their dates. In our opinion, and most people agree with us, a date with a bottle ruins the entire evening. If a boy is in the habit of drinking he should be willing to give it up for this one evening. On the other hand if the boy doesn't drink, why should he tonight? Y-Teens are a part of the Y.W.C.A., which among other things, sta.nds for good clean fun. So let's act like gentlemen and ladies tonight. Then we won't have to worry about dis- gracing ourselves, our school, our parents, or the Y.W.C.A. LUHDZIT ?

' Stepping in careless people's gum is her pet peeve and her most em- barrassing moment came at the Y-Teen formal last year when she stepped on Chad's feet and ruined his shoeshine. Not getting to go to the prom last year was a big enough disap- pointment, but her Mother and Dad chaperoned which only added to the upset. After graduation she plans to enter Miami-Jacobs Business, College. Phyllis is a member of Y-Teens and D. U. V. Tent 395.

Whenever disaster and the unex- pected occur, whether storm, flood, ire, or earthquake, the Red Cross is there, almost automatically, to ease the pain and discomforts of deserv- ing unfortunates. They are there, disregarding race, religion, or color. Service is without a doubt a key word in the policies of the Red Cross. Besides disaster services, they ren- der home service Cin the chaptersj, safety services,' nursing services, service groups, and aid to the armed forces and veterans at stations and in hospitals. Here's a final fact to really set you thinking. There are 100 Red Cross volunteers to every paid worker. Home Ec Skating, Party Scheduled Next Monday Like to roller skate?

Klaes, sheet metal instructor, explained this was one way of showing the kind of things that could be made in his shop. Casting tops for flag poles and ground-beef pressers were projects some of the advanced boys made. They had to learn how to make a sand mold and core works in order to do the casting. Lamps, dishes beverage trays, and glass trays were made by spinning metal over a wooden pattem on a lathe. . Book ends, cement, finishing tools, and nail containers made from tin cans were also projects of the advanced boys. The sixth period class, which consists of eighth grade boys, made ash trays out of aluminum bp pounding them into shape.

The Panthers, upon looking at their past records, are beginning their eighth year of city competition. Track came to Kiser back in 1935 but was dropped because of finances. It returned in 1947 and with it came many cinder stars, 8th Grade Loses City To .Iackson Jim Hughes' 8th grade giant-kill- ers met their match for the first time this season, in their final game, Feb- ruary 26. ' After compiling a string of 15 vic- tories in league and tourney compe- tition, tlrg Kittens tasted their only defeat. It was the battle of the un- beatens in the finals for the city championship when Kiser met Jack- son's hard-fighting 8th graders. But, height proved the deciding factor in this close contest, and Jack- son slipped by the Kittens 47-41. Kiser had previously topped Gettys- burg 44-33 lto gain a berth in the final round of the tourney. Even though they were defeated, the fellows played a good game and I was proud of them. These were the words of Jim Hughes, coach of Kis- er's only trophy-winning team this including Roy and Don Hortman, Ray Hill, Jim Timmerman, Russel Phares, Ron Massie, Bob Herron, Rex Jackson and many others. Don Hortman '51, set two state and one city record with the discus. His mark was 157.4 feet in 1950 for a state record, 158.33A feet in 1952 for a city record, and 158.7 feet for an unbroken state record. In the shot, Hortman set a city record of 52.3 feet in 1951. Ray Hill '53, placed first in the Dayton relays, on a muddy track, with- a time of 13.8 seconds Clow hurdleslg on the high hurdles he cleared a time of 15 seconds fiat. He was hurt in an all-city meet and therefore failed to get to the state finals in Columbus. Ray also went to the Miami relays and walked Cshould say jumpedl off with two first places in the high and low hurdles. Kiser hopes to have a promising season and set a few more records.

They are: Floyd Renfrow, Steve Cimprich, Bob Cimprich, Tom Cope, Kenny Funk, and Frank Stall. Panthers Close Out Poor Season with 2-16 Record Kiser Panthers closed an unsuc- cessful basketball season, losing to Vandalia Butler and later to Roose- velt in the tournament, with a sea- sonal record of 2 wins and 16 losses. County Chumps By dropping a 45 to 37 encounter to Butler, one of the county's worst teams, Kiser proved to be the county chumps .

Shannon McCarth Investigates Re s 'Keep It Clean' laimed Code O Kiser Class BY ENERGINE Keep it clean boys, behave your- self and be a little more sanitary is the pitiful cry of A. Jax Mansfield, instructor of the personal hygiene course. A new class in personal hygiene has begun in Kiser's new athletic room and is held six periods a day if anyone is interested. It is located by the woodwork room. This class is for boys only, and they must be of draft age. Object of this course is to keep boys from putting chewing gum in their hair, spitting on the ceiling, and eating out of garbage cans. A. Jax Mansfield said recently, My boys promised to be good, clean, healthy citizens of Kiser. As a result of this course they have not only become more sanitary, but are help- ing girls as well. Just the other day a member of this class was seen eat- ing out of the cafeteria garbage cans. Upon questioning he replied that the food in the cans tasted just like Mom used to cook. Students who have enrolled in this course are: Spencer Liver, Howie Moth, Duane Hooked Her, Ken Weak, Kenny Chair, and Ed Curve.

Kiwi fl - nv HEAVENLY Bookav Jasper Malcome Klaes, one of the original searchers for the Fountain of Youth, has discovered the fountain right here at Kiser. Mr. V. Klaes began his search with Ponce de Leon in 1513, and has continued the search for the last 441 years. Carl Shannon Held Up On Leo Street Carl Shannon, vice-president of Kiser University on Leo St., was held up yesterday morning. Upon seeing two flashing red lights in front of him he pulled his 1923 Kaiser, with dual cigarette lighters, over the curb and stopped, After sitting there for a few min- utes he was approached by a young boy swinging a lantern and drink- ing a large orange drink. Carl rolled down his window and asked him what was up. The young boy said, This is a hold up, there's a train on the track. He first become suspicious of the location when a frog that was swim- ming in the fountain turned into a tadpole. Jasper has found that a very un- usual drink is produced in the foun- tain, H-g0!! After drinking 33A gal- lons he began to regain his youth. Picture above at the left is Mr. Klaes two weeks before he made his amazing discovery. On the right is a picture of him 33f4 bottles later. He can still be recognized by his glasses and mustache. Eighteen hours a day had been dedicated to teaching the art of fill- ing fountain pens by Mr. Klaes. The other 16 hours a day he had spent in search of the fountain. In his spare time he raised prize termites. Liverachee Plays n K ise SEATED UPON A NAIL KEG with his pearly teeth glowing and his llowing hair blowing, Liverachee Cabovel plays C73 the final number of his recent concert here. Adding to the atmosphere of the piece, Smoke Gets in Your Eyes, the candlelantern sits at the right as a symbol of Liverachee's culture. No admission was charged for the concert. Instead, 25 cents was offered to anyone who would come in and listen. r rand Hissing, yelling, and hurling rot- ten fruit, the students of Kiser made Liverachee feel right at home last Tuesday, Feb. 31, when he made his guest appearance at the Kiser grand piano in the auditorium. The assembly lasted the entire day with only 10 minutes intermission for lunch. However, no one was in condition to eat. The auditorium windows were opened upon a suggestion from one of the students. tHe was overheard saying that the music was for the birds.D Born in Dogpatch, young Liver- achee began his musical career at the age of 2 when he swallowed his mother's guitar pick. Upon becoming 4, he was entered into B. I. S. tBratt's Instrumental Schoolj, but was expelled for skip- ping French-harp classes and saw- ing his piano in two. However, the real break came for Liverachee 35 years later when he sent away for Madam Mozart's free booklet on How to Play by Ear in 3 Easy Lessons-No Fingers Required. Comrade Miller Is Glorious Star Witness BY PABST BREWERY Joe Knows McCarthy, Muckraker from Maine, has broadened his in- vestigations to cover more Red ac- tivities, some in this area. In North Dayton, his investigation concerns Kiser's Red magazine team, captained by Howie Miller. Comrade Miller will appear as star witness. The Red team is charged with con- spiring against the Blues and hold- ing secret Red meetings. McCarthy's next investigation con- cerns the Red Sea. He feels that the Red Sea is just a coverup for some fishy business. Next on his list will be the Red Bird. His fellow dirt gatherers have been watching these birds lest they Hy the coop. Another of his investigations con- cerns Red Tape. When questioned as to his success he said he thought Red Tape was one of the stickiest jobs he'd ever handled . President I'sanhour has already given him the green light to investi- gate the investigators who are inves- tigating the investigators who are investigating the Reds.

The members plan the clubs termination on the death of its last member. This Is Last Edition Of The Kiser Panther According to Mr. Clip, this will be the last edition of the Kiser Panther because there have been too many papers given away. Veb Yekoorb, the Kiser Panther swap editor, has sent papers to every teacher in the United States, Alaska, Hawaii, and Canada, which is ap- proximately 100,473,920 teachers. These teachers wrote and asked for the Kiser Panther because they wanted paper with which to wrap their garbage. ' ----. .. ..,-v -. w--vfuu nn v HU!! LHLLDII IUUKIVHL Ill TUE5. Al lEli ll! MUN.

When I first saw It I thought it had escaped from the circus or the bugology lab. It's body resembles a bull, a dash hound, a terrier, or in other words a Heintz C57 different varieties.J Someone told me they saw a cer- tain lass wandering around who re- sembles the head of this. I think her name might be Sad Pickle, and she has been a Senior for 20 years. But for now let's just call this animalC?J by the name of Butch . Butch told me that he for is it she?J was 21 years old and was look- ing forward to the next election so he for shej can vote for the next king of this school. It's most exciting moment came when it got on the T.V. show Have a Heart and won 5,000,000,000 cans of horsemeat. Butch's favorite record on the juke box is K-9. It livesf?l at 29127 Hog Waller Heaven and It's com- panions are Nanc Bowowry and Mane Kent. Butch's pet peeve is flea bitten, broken down, flapeared dogs, be- cause It is a pedigreed Heintz. It most generally is found hanging around Hog Waller Heaven. Too Much Studying Is Bad For Studes There has been much concern for the students of Kiser who are study- ing too hard. A recent survey shows that nine out of every ten students here at Kiser did too much studying. Dr. Cyclop, famous brain surgeon, says that a student who studies too hard is likely to endanger his brain. Too much studying has been one of the biggest causes of death in the world, he maintains. From now on anyone caught studying in his study hall will get the full punishment. Shannon Buick, assistant principal, says he is not go- ing to feel sorry for any students and proved it by saying he is going to issue 100 hours detention for those caught studying. General Mills, science teacher, says he wishes his students wouldn't study too hard because he likes to give out F's and the way things are now he has to give out A's and B's. I. M. Seldomsober, principal, says students are so smart now that every student will have to be tapped for the honor society and he doesn't like to see that happen. Being smart has also been one of the' main reasons people get good jobs. Let's put a stop to it now.

FLASHLIGH T FRE HME BY AL CAT CIIOO BornC?J in California, Georgia, these twins now live in Nightpound, Old Silk, and are enrolled here at Kiser. Ari and Flirt Williams, who are the twins, were bornf?J 14 years from now on Feb. 31. Although they were born on the same day, Flirt is only two years older than Arf which really doesn't make much dif- ference as long as they are still twins. For pastime, Arf goes around barking at people and Flirt does what his name indicates, fiirts with everyone. fThis is true, so you'd better believe it.J Their hobby is getting out and pushing Flirt's cart?J to get to school on time. Along with this, Aff finds time to enjoy taking the car out and having it run out of gas on her. She does. Now her favorite saying is I gas we can go now. Flirts biggest thrill came when Heda Hopper was at Kiser on a personal appearance tour. He started fiirt- ing with her only to find that she too was a big flirt. As an insult, he ended up with a date, he did. Winning first place in a dog show was Arf's happiest moment. She received a gold plated trophy and a blue ribbon for her reward. Their biggest disappointment came when they first found out they were to come to Kiser. After they got here they found out that they really liked it here and decided to stay. Best friends for these twins are Tudy Jootle, Ally Lamb, Delbert Webb, Joe Balogna, anxd Chuck Roast. People who spit on the floors, plaster their chewing gum on seats and tables, and eat garbage, seem to be the biggest pet peeve of Arf's and Flirt's .

Last year's safari was fortunate because they encountered a rare animal known to many as a tyradz- nasources or North Dayton alley cat.

The Tigers are in a 123-game winning streak over their league, district, and re- gional tournament. Big guns for the Tigers are Jim Horseface, a 7 ft. 5 in. forward who scored 11,354 points, and Joe Black 'n' Blue, 9 ft. 8 in. center who scored 14,408 points. John Doe, 7 ft. 592 in. forward, 8 ft. 2 in. guard, and Slick Jones, 6 ft. 10 in. guard make up the starting unit of the Tigers. Kiser's small but fast Panthers should run the taller and slower Tigers dovmm, but they won't be able to combat the superior height ad- vantage enjoyed by Ashtabula. Working for his masters degree in basketball coaching, Sid Yeller may have to play in the game.

So Is Frank Stall BY SHIRLEY LAMBERT One might think that there is a fu- ture star in the entertainment world right here at Kiser after taking a look at the trophies and medals belonging to Frank.Stall '56, In a recent gymnastics meet at Co- lumbus, Frank placed in seven out of eight events, winning a second place rating in overall competition. He com- peted with about 35 contestants. In the Ohio-West Virginia Area Gym- nastics Meet he placed second on the high bar, third on the parallel bar, fourth in rope cl mbing, fourth on flying rings, fourth on the trampoline, and sixth on the side horse. In these meets, Frank has won a Leaders Team Trophy twice and if he can win it again he may keep it. This Sophomore also has two gold medal first place awards, three silver medals awarded for second place, and three bronze medals for placing third. - .Just recently Frank has started bswimmingl and has won 12 ribbons.

In a Gym Circus, to be held soon at the YMCA, Frank w'll participate in several acts. He will perform on thze trampoline, ride a unicycle, and will be in a clown act.

Students .Get One Week Vacation, April 12-16 When the Hnal ,bell rings today at 3 p.m. it will mark a week of well- earned vacation for the students of Kiser and the surrounding area. From April 9th to the 19th fEaster vaca- tionj are the dates you will rest. Again on April 28 students will make the best of a day's rest. Reason for no school that day will be the annual B.I.E. Day. This is the day the teachers learn something. Miriam Abrat was recently selected to represent the American Legion Auxiliary at their annual summer camp for girls from June 19 through 27. She was chosen for her scholar- ship, character, initiative, and re- sponsibility. HERE FRANK. STALL, '56, is doing a hand stand which is one of his niany gyennastic accomplishments.

Jim came to Kiser this year from John Swett Union High -School in Californiat , . A Seniors will participate in the annual trip to Washington D.C. annd New York City, April 11 to April 15.

L E T5 tell . - Most people are familiar with the story of the cruci- . .ff v i fixion of Christ and his resurrection, but how many people enter into the true spirit of Easter? Not as many '14 as should, we think. Why do you go to church Easter Sunday? Is it be- cause you want to show off that new outfit? Or is it Q because you want to hear the 'Easter message the minister prepared, and the music the choir presents. The at- tendance on Easter Sunday in some churches is double that of other Sun- days during the year. We're not im- plying that you should not go to church if you have not attended regularly but that you should go to church with the thought of wor- shiping. Since Ash Wednesday, the be- ginning of Lent, we have been in the Easter Season. Lent is the spring season 40 days before Easter. These days represent the 40 days Christ spent fasting in the desert. It is an old tradition to give up something during Lent. So why don't you ,give up the habit of sleeping Sunday mornings and go to church. Because of the religious season it is, let us make a point of going to church on Easter Sunday-and every Sunday. , X X l - l K FAD , FA lllll , ' ' FACT sr 'ran's'nmDs:n SEVERAL KISER BOYS showed sparks of enthu- siasm on St. Patrick's Day when they pinned green carnations to their lapels and proudly displayed them all day in the corridors and class rooms.

WHEN A MAN HAS INDIGESTION, holes in his socks, and buttons off his shirts, he should do one of two things: get married or get a divorce. I'M SURE THAT I EXPRESS the feelings of the Junior class as a whole, when I say that we enjoyed a pleasant and informative day as guests of the Frigidaire, March 25. After several instructive, yet entertaining movies and lectures, we, along with the 'Junior class of Stivers, were divided into small groups for guided tours of the huge plant. Then we ate lunch Con the housel, retumed to the auditorium for a brief question and answer session, and returned to Kiser for dismissal. WHAT T.V. SHOWS RATE TOPS on your viewing?

Air Raid Drill Is Success At K iser The city-wide practice air raid drill, held at 11 a.m., March 30th, was very successful at Kiser, according to C. E. Shannon, assistant principal. Not all students participated in the drill because it occured during the lunch hour. If all students were in the building at the time of the drill, re- sults might differ, added Mr. Shan- non. Even though there were several substitute teachers at Kiser the day of the drill, both students and teach- ers reacted quickly and were in their assigned shelters in one and one-half minutes.

Serving with the 503rd paratroopers overseas for three years during World War II, Pvt. Bauer was chosen one of four color guards to raise the Amer- ican flag at Corregidor, in March, 1945. Mr. Bauer is pictured Cleftl looking over the story and picture of himself as it appeared in a local paper, March 3,1945. Among famous persons present on this memorable occasion was General Douglas MacArthur. Upon the rais?ng of the flag he commented, Have your troops hoist the colors to its peak and let no enemy ever haul- them down. Entering Kiser in the 8th grade of September, 1926, Mr. Bauer became Kiser's first football quarterback. Next to being one of the color guards at Corregidor, he is most proud of being Kiser's first quarterback. Receiver of the Bronze Star, Mr. Bauer and his fellow paratroopers also received the Presidential Cita- tion. Now residing at 1457 Kipling Drive, Mr. Bauer is selling commercial re- frigerators.

While walking to work with Barbara Bates recently and pass- ing Rike's window, she thought that it was odd for a mannequin to be sitting and especially to be wearing glasses. Then the woman blinked her eyes and moved only for them to find out it wasn't a dummy but the display director at the store. Imagine, if you can, how they felt! She is president of All-City Dance Council, secretary of Y-Teens, a member of K.G.S. Sorority, B.A. Club, and the Carrousel Teen Club.

Ever been depressed, angry, or had that down-and-out feeling and then been met by a friend who smiled? Suddenly all worries vanish' and you realize what a wonderful world you're in. Yes, a captivating smile, automatic and sincere, is something which can never be bought or borrowed, only given. You've probably all seen Joe. He's the fellow who walks down the hall, his face bowed with a scowl on it. Then, all of a sudden a radiant smile breaks out on his face. It reminds you of the sun after being hid be- hind a cloud, comes streaming down to earth. Wouldn't it be wonderful if the sun were shining all the time? But what about a forced grin? A mechanical grin fools no one. A smile, coming from within is something to be cherished. It is priceless. Look at' the most popular people. Their ability to see something good or humorous in the most depressing situations has helped to bring their popularity. Your facial expression reveals your personality. A pleasant smile will put you ahead in business, too. A scowling person may be a genius in math or science but he will not get as far or advance as fast as the person with average intelligence who is cheerful. A song writer once said, When you're smiling the whole world smiles with you! Are you going to let it smile with YOU? LQ.l.!..Q.?J.Ql..? About this time every year Seniors start thinking about graduation and here the Whozits are practicing march'ng. Letls see who these anxious kids are. Miss Whozit is a Senior and is 5 ft., 3 in. tall. Born in Dayton, Ohio, October 27, 1935, with brown hair and brown eyes, she resides at 655 Keo- wee Street. This 113 pound lass can most likely be seen with Orpha Williams, Ann Roberts, and Judy Tootle. Mr. Whozit also was born in Day- ton, Ohio, July 16, 1936, with brown hair and blue eyes. He stands at 5 ft., 8 in. tall and tips the scales at 130. He resides at 528 Deeds Avenue and answers the ringing of the tele- phone number FU 9705. Some of his many friends are: Jim Reger, Duane Hooker, Bill Detter, and Chad Fogle.

Never- theless, a trick was played on C. E. Shannon, ass't principal, that we would like to share with you. It seems Mr. Shannon received a phone call asking if Bill Spence was in school. Mr. Shan- - non hurriedly checked the list and reported, Yes, The caller then - said, Thank you, and was about to hang up when Mr. Shannon A .4'- -'-- . asked who was calling. The voice said, Oh, I forgot to tell you, this --figif is Bill Spence. Yes, Bill was in 5 ' li-1 X X school but he was calling from the public phone in the hall. Mr. - Shannon reported that since he has been at Kiser this was the first April Fool joke anyone had pulled on him. Dust to dust, and ashes to ashes, Thus it's said we'd return. But I just want to know one thing- When's the school gonna bum! Say! I suppose you've all heard of a garbage disposal. Well, Kiser now has a dish disposal-the trash' Cthat's logicalb.

Last week a poll taken at Kiser revealed that Kiser boys and girls did not agree on the question of voting for 18-year-olds. Boys favored the question by a slight .margin of 49 to 46, but thexgirls- proved more conservative, and voted no, by a 59 to 49 count. Given to Juniors and Seniors only, the poll was one of severaljtaken by Scholastic Magazines, Institute of- Student Opinion. Another question asked the causes for juvenile delinquency. Boys listed poor or unhappy home conditionsg not enough discipline by parents, and lack of community youth centers, as the three major causes. Girls blamed the latter plus: lack of religious training in Church and Sunday schools, and not enough discipline by parents. H When asked what reasons affected their choices of occupations, 59 of 125 boys chose opportunity for advance- ment as the number one reason. Seventy girls out of 124 agreed with the boys, and chose the same reason. Girls believe ten or 15 cents is a fair profit on the dollar for a busi- ness to make. In this same question boys agreed ten cents was fair enough. In another poll Kiser High School Seniors agreed with other studertts in the United States, on every point in a poll on military training taken re- cently. This was proven when the results of the nation-wide survey were computed with those of Kiseris. Asked if they favored compulsory military training, Kiser Seniors an- swered yes, in accordance with the nation-wide vote, which was 66 per, cent in favor. Plans for a lottery-type drafting program, were rejected by Kiser stu- dents as well as other students in the nation. On the question of a plan for six months' training and seven and one-half years ready reserve, 52 per cent of 'the nation's students disap- proved of such a plan. Kiser, being no exception vetoed it by a 37 to 24 vote. Another question the poll asked was whether girls should prepare for careers other than homemakingf Only three dissenting votes were registered here at Kiser on this question, while 94 students favored it. As compared with the nation, Kiser's vote was -nearly the same for 80 per cent of the students polled, voted yes on this question. l If she's wearing Forma Send Flowers A .Consult your local florist for special suggestions 4' MIAMI.

During Ihis lapse of time I have noticed my name on the comic pages, in movies, and just a few days ago a girl came in the library asking questions and looking up my name. Toby Orr must have heard about the empty cell next to mine. Seems while doing his duty as staff pho- tographer he was forced to sit in the trunk of Martha Spitzig's car. There is ailaw that goes something like this, No body either living or dead may be carried in the trunk of a car. During the Easter vacation I spent an enjoyable week watching my favorite farmer plow his field and sow it with corn. Enclosed is the picture of myself that I promised you. Try not to get mad because I will have my picture in the next issue with no tricks at- tached. The news has finally come from my parole board. Yes, on May 27, the date that the Senior edition comes out, I will be a free person. The board voted 20 to 0 in my favor. Have you ever thrilled to a ride on a roller coaster?

Yes, the Kiser eighth grade Y-Teen club has cer- tainly gotten off to a smooth start this year. This is the first year for an eighth grade Y-Teen club at Kiser. This club, though small, has prob- ably had the most varied projects and activities of any Kiser Y-Teen club. Heading their list of activities is a visit they made to the Old Widows Home on Valentine's day. Members had a full program planned and made the refreshments they served there. Each member was also responsible for making a valentine and a hand- kerchief which they presented to the women. Oxther activities included a visit to the Federal Court, where they learned how a jury is questioned and picked, and a baby-sitting class at which a visiting nurse spoke and used a live baby in her demonstra- tion. , Plans for the club were made dur- ing the summer when Miss Willing- ham, Montgomery County Y-Teen director, asked Mrs. Charles Wom- bold if she would help start an eighth grade club and act as its advisor. Mrs. Wombold agreed and has been working with the girls all year, , A program has recently been started to interest coming Kiser eighth grade girls in the club.

It was the annual Hi-Y-Faculty tussle in which a good time was had by all. There has been some debate as to which team won, but it is said the Faculty came out on top. Even though 'Wild Bill Glaspey spent the last minute putting in points with his own private basketball. Led by the speedy R. O. Wilson, the faculty pulled to an early lead with P. M. Mansfield, pushing and shoving his assistance. Jerry Holes- ovky created a near riot with his latest assortment of basketball togs, and Jim Hughes proved a capable :ourt-man, in his long red undies. Highest on the list of assists used :sy the faculty, was a stopper for the Hi-Y basket. Ted Bimbo Strader proved himself loyal to the Hi-Y :ause and managed to destroy the secret weapon. r - Tennis Team Is Slipping Accidents can happen!

Too Much Turley Big John Turley proved the dif- ference when the Panthers met the Pilots of Wilbur Wright. Big John had two hits in four times at bat. The Panthers jumped to an early 4-1 lead over the Pilots, but blew it in the sixth inning when the fiy boys came back with six runs on three Panther errors.

This leaves a balance of seven games Kiser Track 1 Men Drop 3 In A Row Running hard, jumping high, and leaping far, the sweat-soaked cinder- men from Kiser have as yet not won a track meet but are gaining ability. Taking a 393A to 781A loss against Fairview was hard. Being bested 78 to 40 by Dunbar hurt, but being trampled 97M to 20115 by Roosevelt really hurt our pride. Pride to a sportsman is everything and if it is hurt he goes bloodhunting. Ziegeler Paces ,Pack Leading the field in points by a score of 24, Gerhard-Zieeler '55, is showing speed as a sprintman. Run- nlig second is Gail Thompson '54, with 19V2 points. Duane Hooker '54, is close in third spot with 19 points. Norm Garner '55, is doing well in fourth spot with 8114 tallies to date. Ken Weese '55, is 5th with 71A points and Keith Banke '54, is 6th with 7. Keith holds the school record for the mle, 4 minutes 58.5 seconds.

Two days following, they will gompete with Roosevelt. Both scrambles will be at Northside. 1 . Tournament play for the Panthers begins Cand perhaps ends, let's hope notj the seventh. May 7, 8, 14, 15, 21, and 22 are all set aside for the tour- nament. Patterson Co-op is scheduled to meet the Kiser Diamondeers May 10, at Northside field, where, on the 17th, a battle will be waged between the Panthers and the Charninade Eagles. After hitting the road to Spring- field on the 19th the Cats will return to meet Stivers on the 24th at Ket- tering Cdiamond No. 31, and Spring- field again, this time at Northside. Switching to track now, we see that following I the Dayton Relays, Kiser'thinclads, under the coaching of Roy F. Peden, will travel to Mid- dletown on the' 4th, for their first scheduled May meet. Then back they'll come to play Vandalia, May 6, on their own home ground. After Kiser's final two scheduled meets, Patterson, May 12, High School Stadium, and Wilbur Wright, ,May 19, also at the H.S.S., come the District Meets, May 22, the City Meets, May 25 and 26, and the State Meets at Columbus, May 28 and 29. Looking at the sked of Coach Mansfield's golfers, we find they have five matches remaining before the regional and state matches. They are against Fairview, May '3, at Miami View, Oakwood, May 7, at Madden, Roosevelt, May 10, at Miami View, Wilbur Wright,,May 14, at Madden, and Fairmont, May 17, at Com- munity.

Here's how to plan for your Potluck Party faccording to Seven- , ' 'n'4acZ.t Yfiuu teen magazinej: Make up a supper menu and list all the ingredients needed. Then divide the list and assign one or more items to each guest. The dishes should largely be made up of canned and packaged foods and ones that won't require hours' of preparation and cooking. Then when everybody has arrived, all the makings can be as- sembled, heated, and served. Simple side dishes, appetizers, soft drinks, and desserts can also be included in the menu. tif the party flops, don't blame me. It's not my creationj IT SEEMS THAT the name of a certain friend of mine was somehow misspelled in my column last issue. And I know that I'll never hear the end of it until the- error is cor- rected. His name is spelled B-0-b S-p-e-n-c-e. Know him? MAN, DIG THOSE CRAZY HATS. If you happened to attend the sock dance at Stuart-Patterson Center Saturday nightg two weeks ago tday before Easterj, you'1l do doubt know what I'm talking about. It seems that three cats UD from Kiser came strolling in proudly displaying their new Easter bdnnets. The hats, bright yellow and of a terrycloth-like ma- terial, went over big with several of the girls. They even threatened to buy themselves one. - 'NOW SINCE the Carrousel Teen Club has folded up for the summer, several, although not enough, of you students may be at a loss for a bit of weekend dancing. If so, why not join the gang every Saturday night at Stuart Patterson? -Grads Placed On List Maxine Brown '50, and Oda Wilkey '50, now attending Bowling Green State University, have been placed on the Dean's list for the fall semester of 1953-'54.

But il' you're like myself, I know, You'll see me, come next year. Oh, no, not another phantom! But yes, or so it seems, from a note I received. It read: We believe that in the cafeteria they should serve steak, ham, and mush- rooms! Signed, Yours till steak is served, The Phantom. Hum! I wonder if the phantom ever eats out and has to pay for it! Say! Have you heard the good news? Another Kiser student, Eileen Barnes, is teaching-not school, but ballet and tap dancing in a studio. Incidentally, Eileen will be in charge of a dance revue at the Art Institute, June 27. Let's help Eileen boost the ticket sales! Would the student driving the red Oldsmobile with the license number 643 TV please move the car? Do any of you Juniors and Seniors remember hearing this message come over the P.A. system at the Junior-Senior Farewell? It seems some boys from Fairview decided to move a No Parking sign in front of Bob and Bill Heerman's car. So they were asked to move the car. In fact, he even got a ticket. However, it was a joke and he didn't have to pay a fine! 4at!4, Qaffltiana 'n' Zlaait BY TED STRADER WHAT A CROP! No, I don't mean Liberace's hair. tNor do I mean Farmer Thies' pasture.J I'm referring to the lovely crop of dandelions in Kiser's front lawn. But whether or not there are dandelions or weeds, we all can help improve the lawn by walking on the sidewalks. I HOPE that everyone, esp:3c'ally the Seniors, had :1 good time at the Jr.-Sr. Prom. And I want to thank all the fellows who laid oil the bottle while at the dance. PLANNING TO GO to college? Il' so, and if there's a chance you'll go to Harvard, start now to save. What I mean is that il you want to be in style start now to save your old white bucks. I've found out from a dependable source that one of the latest fads at Harvard is wearing dirty white bucks. In fact, the students wear them around in their rooms until they're filthy enough to wear to school. However, not just Harvard has gone so'led-shoe-crazy. Princeton has caught on, too. One shoe store there even has some kind of machine which grinds dirt into new white bucks if the pur- chaser desires. BY THE LOOKS of his hair, we had a Mohawk in the sophomore class. ACCORDING TO internationally-known, much dcc- orated Jacqueline Cochran tSupersonic Jackieb, by 1969 y0u'll be flying via rocket plane, and by 2000 you'll be using man-made satellites as jumplng-oil places for jaunts into space. She predicts an airborne tomorrow in an interesting interview in May's Seven- teen . SINCE THIS IS the last Fads, Facts, and Fashi'ns, column that I'll be writing for The Kiser Panther, I want to say that I hope you've enjoyed these little bits of nothing just half as much as I've enjoyed writing them. There are miracles, magic, and deeds I could ment'on. There are things that are saved by an ounce ol' pre- vention.

CLASS OI' ,NS f X Dux l.on7o'5'l Is May 28th Your Only Goal? This, being the end of the school year, gives us an opportunity to look back and evaluate the merits of the last year's work. Being only human, we have all made mistakes. The making of mistakes is important. But more important is just how much our mistakes have taught us. Some of us as Seniors have failed to really accomplish anything that is of any significance. Coming to school, doing just enough to get by, and going home has made a life of dull doings with only one goal in sight, grad- uation. To these persons graduation in itself is an end. After becoming liberated from the bonds of a seemingly endless toil they venture onward and announce to the world that they are graduates. These individuals are at a loss for their horizon is not high enough to equal their needs. Everyone should take advantage of his opportunities and look at grad- uation as a step toward maturity. Then this lack of interest can be licked. Use graduation not as an end in itself but as a means to an end. In our next adventure in life, whatever it may be, let's try to do our very best. Then let us rededicate our- selves toward trying to inspire others to take advan- tage of available opportunities and with this, aim for higher ideals. Remember: Life is only as good as you make it. No one can make more of you than yourself. I told the Reverend not to buy that second-hand car . . . he doesnlt have the vocabulary to run it. Praise 'pears to be something a person tells you about yourself that you've suspected all along. The fella that invented the alarm clock probably did the most to arouse the working classes. JOY HUGHES: Graduation to me seems like a new world opening up around us, a bigger one with a lot of hard work ahead of us. JOHN GUFFEY: To me, graduation is one of my greatest achievements and will be a big help in obtaining my goal in life. ANN MCLAURIN: Graduation is to me the completion of 12 years which will help to determine a great deal of what I will make of myself in the future. ELMEDA YOUNG: It means that I will be one happy girl May 28. JOYCE ISAACS: To me graduation means a reward after 12 long years of hard work. DELORES SMITH: Graduation is an event which I will always remem- ber because of the years it has taken to obtain the memory. DORIS ROBERDS: The diploma is First, after that there is another bridge, I guess I'1l do what's left- 'Cross Over It '. JUDY TOOTLE: To me, graduation means that I have achieved and ac- complished something and done it to the best of my ability. It means a day of sorrow and a day of gladness-a day I will never forget. MARY POGUE: Graduation means that I have fulfilled the wish of some- one very dear to me. The diploma is a symbol of the work I have clone and friends I have made at Kiser. SHIRLEY MANKAT: To me grad- uation means the end of many long and happy years, which I will look back upon and always remember. MARY SHIRLEY: To me gradua- tion means that I have proved to myself that I could graduate and look forward to making something of myself. BARBARA RYAN: Graduation is the ending of one phase of l'fe and the beginning of another. I've gotten a lot out of school and itys meant a lot to me. But remember, classmates of '54: I'll see you in five years at the reunion. CHRISOULA PANAYIOTU: Gradu- ation will be one of my happiest days, but one of my saddest too. I will be leaving all my friends and won't see them for a long time. JERRY CLINE: To me graduation is the achievement of 12 years of hard school work. In later years, though, we will look back on our school days and remember that the work really wasn't so hard after all. JANET EDGAR: It means to me that I have completed 12 years of hard work to get my diploma. It is also an event I will always remem- ber because of all the good times I have had. JANET HANES: I have been look- ing forward to graduation for 12 years. To me it means that I am on my own to do the very best I can in any occupation I may choose.

By care- fully s'udying the clues that were provided from time to time in 'THE Krsna PANTHER he carefully tracked down the writer known only as Al Catraz. According to the inspector, the clue that threw him off was the one that said he was a Junior and not a Senor. By putting two and two to- gether he dscovered that Al meant that he was named after his father, thus making him a junior. By taking prints of everyone's little toe in journalism proved to be another feather in his cap. Upon the discovery that Al had moved to the outskirts of town cleared up the statement that he watched his favorite farmer plow- 'ng. This proved to be just a neigh- bor. At a press conference Al Catraz, who goes by the real name of Paul Griffy, said, I kinda hated to see the because it meant that I inspector would no longer be able to mystify the Kiser student body. When asked the question what was the funniest thing that happened while writing this column, Paul answered Lis- tening to Hank , Salty, Bruno, and H tell me how they figured the identity of Al Cat.raz to be Dick Longo.

To the graduating class of 1954: Year after year you pass through our Kiser doors to find your places out in the world-YOU-the con- tnuing line of Seniors graduating from K'ser High School. As you leave, you cast off many of the unpleasant burdens and re- sponsibilities of the past four years. But you are likewise to be separated forever frcm many of the joys and pleasant things of high school days. This is very true of the new world you are entering. All is not fun and pleasure. There will be rugged places, too. We have tried to give you that kind of training at Kiser which will help you to l've happily while as- suming the responsibilities encoun- tered as a useful, contributing citizen. If you are completely successful in adjusting to this new life we are w lling to give you all the credit. If not, will you be fair enough to as- su'ne some of the responsiblity for your diiiiculties? Many of our graduates have brought honor to themselves and to men. Now it is graduation time. Our somewhat small class, numbering 118 will be dispersed never again to function as a unit as it has for the last four years. Midst the confusion and scuffle of graduation, we should take time out to extend our feeling of appreciation to Mr. Sollenberger, Mr. Shannon, Mrs. Pridy, and the faculty. Without their help and understanding we couldn't have advanced these last four rungs of our ladder of education. We also wish to thank Mr. Wilson, our class advfsor, for his much need- ed help and guidance in solving our class problems. Although we will graduate and possibly not see one another for many years, may we still hold in our hearts the feeling of respect and friendliness which was ever present in our class. Best of luck to all of you. KEITH BANKE President of the class of 1954 CONGRATULATIONS TO uation. Let it be only the first of many successful accomplishments to be attained in the coming years.

When we moved into the Senior's seats on Class Day and saw the 1953 sign taken down and the 1954 sign put into it's place, with tears in our eyes, we realized we were full- fiedgecl Seniors. SENIOR YEAR As we entered the halls of Kiser for our last year of high school, our idea was to cram as many things as possible into the short time we had left of our high school years.

MAY 27, 1954 ggs, Gm Plan Class ' -4 Reunion It is the year '84, 30 years have passed Since the class of '54 turned their books in at last. A reunion was planned by Suggs and Gray To be held at Kiser the 28th of May. Old Bob Gray, as you may know, Let his wife have all the dough, Without any money to buy a space ship He worked here on Earth to the tune of her whip. Charleen stayed here, a regrettable slip, Late as usual, she missed the space ship. Space-O-Grams were sent to invite one and all, From Mars to Pluto they sent the call. Big Bob Petrokas financed these invitations, He spent so much money he now lives on small rations. Sultan Webb received the first invitation, Ten years ago he formed his own little nationg On the planet Pluto he never opens his mouth For his harem contains Ryan, Herron, and South. Arthur Miller, a space politician, To win an election is what he's a wishin'. A woodwork teacher is Judy Tootle Who'll make you a doghouse for your little poodle. Spencer Hart hasn't changed a bit, He'll race anybody in his atomic space ship. Sally Goolman, who has an artistic eye, ls now painting rainbows in the sky. Missionary Bob Heerman, although he does try, Before he saves a soul, in his grave he will lie. An efficient hairdresser is Miss Janet Hanes, Her chief job in life is to cut women's manes. Dick Longo, modeling a space suit one day, Put the helmet on backwards and soon lost his way. Phyllis Cole, on a quiet day, Went out to look at the Milky Way, She discovered a river of candy bars Which she now sells on the planet Mars. At Burkhead's Interplanetory Drive-In there was quite When Detter, Taylor, and Bratton saw before their eyes Jim Reger, the great lover ofthe day, By now was carting quite a big bay. His supporting actress was Miss Shirley Hook Who'd even make Big Jim take a second look. Leamon Jourdan, the Liberace of this day Plays at Carnegie and turns crowds away. Smell-O-Vision was invented by Miss Pat Davis, If she invents anything more, Oh, Lord, save us! Jerry Cline, an actor on Smell-O-Vision, ls now retired without any provision. It seems his acting was so bad lt broke people's sets and made them mad. The Power's Models, now owned by Fern Powers, Was reorganizedg they now sell fresh flowers. Curtis Williams was the surprise of us all, A geometry teacher became his Iife's call. a surprise, It wasn't in opera, it was that crazy be-bop. Barbara Hall and Beatrice Masters made the front page When they did the can-can on the Mars Opera House stage. And now to Venus we'll turn the book, And at some very nice people we'll look. Don Thies and Maftha Spitzig are married now, She plays the organ while he fixes chow. Paul Grifify is head of his own private school, You can now be like Paul--an educated fool. Clothes make the mang take, for instance, Duane Hookerg He designs hfs own space suits, he's really a looker. Toby Orr and Dick Puterbaugh, partners in crime, Are accused of a killing-the victim is time. Deane Edgington and Sally McManus, whom we know so well, Were last seen sharing the same padded cell. Marlene McCollum is a school teacher now, The first thing she'll teach you is How now, brown cow. Alene Lambert and Essie Baker took a vacation, They forgot to take food and nearly died of starvation. Mary Triplett on Venus was once a top model, But that all ended when she took up the bottle. Saturn is the home of the guardian of space, It's Judge Bill Stansberry who handles every space case. Inventor Shirley Mankat, great fame she has won, She protects this planet with her new ray gun. In the entertainment world we find dancers of speed, It's the jitterbug team of Mary Dill and Charles Reed. Patrolman Chad Fogle in crime made a dent, When he arrested the crime queen, alias Jane Kent. Donna Bafs one bright and early dawn, Took a trip back to Earth, now she's real gone. Margie Penrod and Dolores Smith both became nurses, But some of their patients are carried in hearses. On Saturn Shirley Hudson developed a vice, She began to gamble and shoot loaded dice. Joe Balogh and Harold Howard are both space cadets, They have daily drag races in their supersonic jets. Bill Garrison became a pro football player: He received a key to Saturn from Don Koehler, the mayor. Marcella Brewer works on Earth as a cop, Her job is to see who stole Miss Shepler's mop. Ship captain Leota Seale early one morn, Woke the whole Universe when she blew a fog horn. Ruth Matthews to science her life she devoted, From botanist to chemist she has been promoted. And now we turn in our trip through space, To the planet Neptune, and many an old face. Sixteen alumni from the class of '54, Landed their rocket ship here with a roar. The pilot was Orf Williams and a good one was she, When she landed, she ran smack into a tree. Keith Banke helped out for he knew his way around, If it wasn't for him, they'd have never left ground. Two other lads took a shorter and quicker route, fContinued on page 161 A school for women space ship drivers taught by Mary Shirley I - ,H Proved a great success for this little girley. Her first students, whom she felt like tossfn', Were Lowrey, Roberds, McLaurin, and Lawson. The space traffic tickets which they would acquire, From policeman Bill Smith soon made Mary retire. Ambassadors to Mercury were Thompson and Schultz, They tried to keep peace but got little results, For the natives there led by Shirley Young Revolted at last and out they were fiung. Marvin Kistler, a hillbilly song star, Came back to earth 'cause he forgot his guitar. The planet Mars is next on the list, With 10 '54 grads that fortune has kissed. Here lives animal lover Pauline Tatone, Who owns and manages a zoo of her own. On Mars Howard Vasvary opened a store, If you want space suits, he's got 'em galore. Explorers Don Gustin and Dave Smith by name, Found a new planet and won wide acclaim. Alma LaFever has made money on Mars, She's the largest dealer in secondhand space cars. A school superintendant is our friend John Guffey, With him at the head, schools are pretty stuffy. Well, look who owns her own poolroom, It's that cute little gal Rosemary Blum. Ardis Jones in the singing world went to the top, SINCLAIR COLLEGE DAYTON'S COMMUNITY COLLEGE Cordially invites you to visit the College to discuss your educational and vocational plans with a counselor.

Cheering Activities Come To An End For With the final magazine assembly, March 16, the cheerleading activities came to a halt for Janet Hanes, Martha Spitzig, Pauline Tatone, Orpha Williams, and Judy Tootle. The three years which Janet Hanes, the capta'n of the cheerleaders, has been cheering have been packed with surprises and honors. Reigning as queen of the homecoming and of the magazine campaign, being president of her Y-Teen club, and being a member of the Honor Society, are just a few of the honors Janet has received. During the two years which Martha Spitzig has been cheering, Martha has also had her share of honors. Martha is a member of the Honor Society, BA, school organist, 5 Seniors 1 editor-in-chief of THE Krsna PANTHER, and will graduate with high honors in her class. Being secretary-treasurer of the Honor Society, treasurer of Student Council, secretary of the Senior class, and a member of BA and Y-Teen clubs, were some of the activities of Orpha Williams, a one-year cheer- leader. For Judy Tootle, the two years which she has cheered have not been empty either. Judy was secretary of Student Council, and a member of BA and Y-Teen clubs. Being president of KDAA, a mem- ber of Y-Teens and BA clubs, secre- tary-treasurer of the Peppy Panther- ettes, and having one of the leads in the Senior class play, kept Pauline Tatone, a two-year cheerleader, busy.

The Panthers fell short by one run in an attempt to upset the power Pilots of Wilbur Wright during a city league baseball game. Tom Stafford, Panther pitcher, struck out 10 men that faced him early, but to no avail. Howie Miller, the big and powerful center fielder, banged out a home run off the Pil0t's ace Corkey McCune. Roger Long and John Turley were the difference for the Hy boys. One Short, Again! For the second game in a row the Panthers of old K. H. S. dropped a thrilling encounter by one run. This time to the Fairview Bulldogs, by a score of 4-3. The Panthers held a one run edge going into the seventh inning when the roof fell in. Carroll Taylor, Pan- ther hurler, walked the Bulldog sec- ond baseman, Tippy Burrows. Jack Berle, the Dogs' short-stop, tripled scoring Burrows. Berle scored later on a fly ball. Tournament Time Playing their first game against the Warriors of Lebanon the Blue and Gold finally won an opening tourna- ment game by the margin of 9-2. The big difference was the second inning, when the Leo Streeters exploded for 8 runs. Tom Stafford was the starting and winning pitcher. What- Wright Again! After dropping two previous en- counters to the Pilots the diamond- men were still unable to break the spell laid on them by Wilbur Wright, losing this time by their largest mar- gin 5-2. Other Scores The Panthers won a 9-2 decision from Patterson behind the brilliant Pointing to his name on the Kiser Booster Club trophy is Duane Hooker as Janet Hanes looks on. CPhoto by Toby Orrj Hanes, Hooker Named Most Athletic Girl, Boy Of '54 BY ALEN1-3 LAMBERT Janet Hanes and Duane Hooker were chosen the most athletic girl and boy of the class of '54 by their classmates. Credited with three years as a varsity cheerleader, Janet was Kiser Golf Men Capture One Meet According to Coach P. L. Mans- field, Kiser's golf team has had only one win as of May 10. By a score of 6112 to 5514 they whipped the Dunbar Wolverines but fell victims to Patterson 91!z to 61fz. Next the Panthers held an 8 to 8 tie with Stivers. This meet must have taken their spirit for in the following clash with Chaminade they were trampled 16 to 0. When Fairview came along, hope again was high but a 13 to 3 loss cut their dreams. Oakwood, one of the stronger golf teams in the area next crumbled Kiser 14 to 2. Next, on May 7, Kiser's golfers participated in the Tri-State Meet tOhio, Indiana, and Kentuckyl. Four boys from Kiser went and came back with a score of 372. This is far from the top scorer but well above some teams from the greater Cincinnati area which were considered strong contenders. Bill Glaspey '54, clubbed an honorable 86 in this meet. He is the only Senior leaving the team this year. chosen captain of this year's squad. She also has received her third letter in gym. Outside of her being a cheerleader, Janet belongs to the B. A.

They are: Ken Weese '55, halfbackg Stan Luckoski '55, fullbackg Tom Schlorman '55, halfbackg Gerhard Ziegeler '55, fullback and punterg Jim Morgan '55, halfbackg and Ted Strader '55, quarterback.

With Chaminade dropped from the 1954 Kiser gridiron schedule, next year's Panthermen will play a total Netters Garner Only One Victory The cat gut swatters will lose one Senior, Floyd Renfrow, who has been a member of the netmen squad since his Freshman year. The team has come through with one win so far this season with one game yet to be played at press time. This one win over Wilbur Wright has inspired the boys a great deal. They have put their best efforts for- ward and as a result have played a much better match. By the time these boys are Seniors we should have a good team. Scores for the season's matches are of nine games. Four of these will be as follows: . out of town while the remaining five Oakwood 5 'i ' 'i i'i K lser 0 are to be at the High School stadium.

Out of a possible 42 score points, the Fireballs got a near perfect 41. Points were earned as follows: For every two games won by individual players, the team received 3 score points toward the championship. Be- cause there were eight different high school teams in the league, it was hard to win so often. Bowling meets were held every Sunday afternoon at the National Bowling Lanes on Brown Street. There the teams squared off and bowled to the bitter end. Each player was required to pay S1 charge for use of the alleys for three league games. Highest man on the team, in aver- age of pins is Captain Spencer Hart, with a hot 145. Curtis Williams bowled second best with 140. On his heels was Joe Balogh with 137 who was closely covered by Bob Gray who bowled 132. Carl Webb, the fifth and final Fireball, hit a, let's say warm, 115 average. Also representative of Kiser in bowling circles were two more teams in this same league. The Bowlerettes, a girl's team finished 3rd. The Kiser Panthers, the third team, finished with a tie for last spot. I Admiring their trophies are the Fireballs, Kiser's champion bowling team. From left to right are: Bob Gray, Carl Webb, Spencer Hart, Joe Balogh, and Curtis Williams. The trophies they received are rewards for winning more bowling meets than any other team in their league. Spen- cer Hart was chosen captain, but by an odd means. l-le rolled high dice and came out on top. According to the boys in the back room a naturalist is one who throws a lot of sevens. 55?ifizf:22:E:EI2523525212323371:I2332535''il'IiE3E'1E2:T35l3'ii'Ii5E: ,E,f,::.l .,.. . za , :tx WIT BY JERRY CLINE New Cheerleaders Named Three new voices were added to cheering squad, May 12, at the finals for cheerleading tryouts. Replacing the five graduating Seniors will be Rosie Cseh, Betty Roberts, and Betty Myrick. Along with these girls two substitutes were chosen. They were Gerry Gevat and Bonnie Herron. Late Results and Entries Just before press-time, results were obtained on the Kiser-West Carrollton golf match. The Panthers downed the out-of-towners by a 101!2 to 51!2 count for their second win of the season. Kiser's linksters com- peted in the District Tournament last Friday at Community Country Club, but results were not available at press-time. Past And Future Looking back over the 1953-'54 sports year, we find that the Panther from Kiser was a fairly tame feline in city sports circles. Up to press- time we could boast only 15 wins against 41 losses in football, basket- ball, baseball, track, tennis, and golf games and matches played this year.

Choose Homes On Planets fContinued from page 103 To make sure that they weren't to be left out. There to greet the ship when it finally did land, Were Ken Stout and Bob Coey running a hamburger stand. Their biggest customer was a girl with a large appetite, Sandy Niswonger could be found here every night. Gerald Scanlon, known to every old grad of '54, Opened a free drive-in with popcorn galore. Bonnie Hendrickson and Burt Tipton always attended, For it was here all their arguments were amended. Building houses for a living on a mountain top, Were two old studes of Mansfield's shop. Bill Glaspey and Leon Roberts were this carpenter pair, They built many houses that stood high in the air. Chris Panayiotu had a quaint little shop, Latest fashions she sold which were really the top. Joy Hughes and Janet Edger were usually there, When they were through buying, the place was bare. Floyd Renfrow got a cute millionaire wife, And lives in luxury for the rest of his life. The last two girls did always have dates, They were lovely Joyce Isaacs and Barbara Bates. Traveling from Neptune to Jupiter we find '54 Alumni in occupations of every kind. A proud skipper now is Charles Brock, He brings in ships and checks them on dock. Mary Pogue has turned out to be a swimming champ, She swims day and night except when it's damp. John Williams has his own little garage, Here he is usually repairing his Dodge. Maurine Estes is a fine secretary, But someday soon, she hopes to marry. In the distance is Howie Miller on the moon, Here he is making all the girls swoon. Two special fans are Pat Harper and Elmeda Young, Tell Me Why is what he has just sung. Delsie Rollins is quite a good teacher, Soon she hopes to find a cute preacher. Far off we hear a rapid pacing, It is none other than Bill Heerman racing! A super delicatessen was opened by Joan Stutz, She has a large assortment of vienershnitzells and cold cuts. Evelyn Cooney stayed on Earth and became a movie star, Now folks come to see her picture from near and far. Fred Lautenburg opened a bookie joint, that was his own diaster, For now he's in prison and he has ai warden for his master. The last of our clan lives on the moon But to the reunion they'll be coming soon. The newest television detective Doug Pippin Is the fat man--the scales at 230 he-'s tippin'. To keep our bubble gum from be'ng stolen, We have first class G-woman Odelta Tolen. Professional women Sue Christian and Kay Fox Have an odd career, they collect precious rocks. Judy Berczelly and Ann Roberts are civil defense workers, They're not like most who are civil defense shirkers. Carol Hammersley is hiding out in Rome, She worked in a bank till she took samples home. The new Yankee manager is sportsman Nevin Engle, He replaces the retiring manager, old Casey Stengle. Our friend Bob Svellinger wound up as a ditch digger, He does the hard work to protect his figger. A great trampoline artist is Gordon McKinney, For a job like that he has to stay skinny. A nuclear physicist is the job of Clyde Lockwood, He's got more brains that any one person should. Four lines are needed to end this long poem, And then when it's finished we can all go home. For, though a trip through space, many dollars is worth, It seems so much better to stay right here on earth. Srs.

With the reading of the Prophecy by Bonnie Hendrickson and Burt Tipton, the Will by Bill Glaspey and Pauline Tatone, the Census by Or- pha Williams and Jim Reger and the History by Barbara Ryan and Dick Longo, the class of '54 assembled for the last time at Kiser High School for Class Day. To the music of Pomp and Circumstancef' we walked out with tears in our eyes, realizing that we were now not a part of the high school life that we had enjoyed so much for the past four years. One hundred and fifteen Seniors walked up and received their di- plomas at the N.C.R. auditorium, May 28. After graduation, the Touchdown Club was the scene of the graduation party, with plans for the alumni of 1954 to re-assemble in five years for a class reunion. Proud of our good record at Kiser, the class of 1954 hopes that they have set a good example for the classes to follow in the years to come.
