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. Assemble For Last Time fContinued from page 151 Barbara Ryan was elected queen of the formal with Senior Attend- ant, Mary Dill. Another big step was taken to- ward graduation. January 28, we ordered our announcements and were measured for our long-awaited caps and gowns. Fred Wolfe Studio had to have their cameras adjusted back to nor- mal after taking our Senior class pictures the week of January 25th. Y-Teen officers for the year were: president, Janet Hanesg with other officers, Sharon Nunnery, Pauline Tatone, Jane Kent, Nancy Lowrey, Shirley Mankat, Jackie Korner, Bar- bara Ryan, Sandy Niswonger and Judv Tootle, Officers of the Student Council were: Howie Miller, president: Judy Tootle, secretary, and Orpha Wil- liams, treasurer. Mary Dill won the January Jitter- bug Contest at the Youth Club in the Y.M.C.A. Writing outstanding essays for the Civitan Club were: Sue Christian, Toby Orr, and Sally McManus. When the Junior Chamber of Corn- merce sponsored its annual Dayton Day we found Doug Pippin repre- senting our school. Twelve Seniors went without sleep for about four days. These were the '54ers who traveled to Washington, D. C. and New York City with the Dayton Junior Council on World Af- fairs. Those who got stiff necks from looking up at the tall buildings in New York were: Pauline Tatone, Janet Hanes, Judy Berczelly, Doug Pippin, Joan Stutz, Leota Seale, Joyce Isaacs, Toby Orr, Ruth Mat- thews, Shirley Hudson and Rosemary Blum. The honor of being tapped for the National Honor Society came to Jerry Cline, Janet Hanes, Toby Orr, Ruth Matthews, Chad Fogle, Sandy Niswonger, Don Thies, Mary Trip- lett, Essie Mae Baker, Doug Pippin, Arthur Miller and Nevin Engle in an assembly in the auditorium. Doing a pretty good job on the diamond were baseballers: Carroll Taylor, Jim Reger, Howie Miller, Paul Griffy and Burt Tipton. Tracksters were Keith Banke, Duane Hooker, Don Thies, Gail Thompson, Chad Fogle and Don Gustin. Floyd Renfrow was the only link- ster out for tennis while Bill Glaspey was the Senior golf man. A Night To Remember, the Junior-Senior Prom, held at Wamp- ler's May 7th really upheld its name. Candidates for king and queen were: Jane Kent, Jim Bratton, Mary Shir- ley, Jim Reger, Orpha Williams, Bill Glaspey, Judy Berczelly, and Dick Longo. When the votes were tallied the results showed that the king and queen were Dick Longo and Judy Berczelly. Dick and Judy led the grand march during intermission, followed by the Senior class oflicers and their dates. Marching and singing practices started May 17 in the auditorium. Le Sourdesville Lake was the scene of an all-day picnic as 115 Seniors traveled on chartered busses to swim, eat and play in the sun, May 21. Jane Kent was chairman of the gala affair. Baccalaureate services were held at Westminster Presbyterian Church, May 23 at 7:30 p.m. May 26, Triangle Park was the scene of our last class picnic. Bar- bara Bates served as chairman. 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. Detter Becomes 'Ham' Bill Detter '54, a member of the Kiser Amateur Radio Club, recently became a licensed Ham by pass- ing the qualifying test at the Dayton Hamvention, April 3. Bill is now in the process of con- structing his own transmitter and re- ceiver. His call letters are WNSRGS.
