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. Football rates high with Mr. Who- zit, who plays end. He is 5 ft. 8 in. .tall, weighs 150 pounds, and is often with Bomber Roberts and Larry Trocklman.

Paris, France, Rome, Italy and Great Bri- tain are the top three places they are expecting to see. Living in Parkside Homes is the reason why not too many kids go to 305 Mansfield Place to find Judy. '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. Take for instance, last week when a bat vis- ited Kiser's halls. It convinced us of one thing though. The cheerleaders would give anything to have you use about half the lung-power that you used last week in a pep assembly. . ln the classrooms you kids just shout and scream While the teachers say, Please don't. But when we give you a chance to yell ' Why is' it that you won't? ..

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?

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.

My thanks to Bev Brookey for warning me, -' My outside contact told me the Juniors think I am a Senior because Photo by Toby Orr I wroteabout the Seniors in my last letter. But I'm not, I am a Junior. To prove it I know of four or five boys who were seen playing football with girls. I wonder who won. The Juniors should be proud of their recent elections, It's my opinion that you have chosen a line group of people to run the class. But don't take my opiniong' that's why I am here.
