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.

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.

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.

THURSDAY, MAY 27, 1954 T H E K I S E R PA N T H E R PAGE THIRTEEN '54 Grid Prospects Look Favorable: Chaminade Dropped From Schedule Prospects are looking good. Yes, prospects for the 1954 Kiser football squad seem to be summing up for the better. In the backfield will be a helpful array of veterans. 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. Several promising linemen for the '54 team are: Jack Settles '56, Jerry Grant '55, Dan Roberds '56, Ed Hill '55, Don Swihart '55, Norm Garner '56, Ray Carroll '56, Bob Zeigeler '55, and Don Meeker '56. 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.

Falrvlew 5 H f--f '- ---'------ K lser 0 Kiser Fireballs Win Top Spot ln School Bowling League BY TOBY ORR Kiser's ace bowling team, the Fire- balls, won the Dayton High School Bowling Championship. 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.
