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.

PACE TEN T H E K I S E R PA N T H E R THURSDAY. 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.
