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 . Harvest Moon Hop To Be Held At 'Y' Harvest Moon Hop is the name of the dance that will be held tomorrow night, Nov. 21, at the Y.W.C.A.

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 ?

1 C 1 nv.. Elly HI un i DEAR LADIES AND GERMS: Many of you may wonder what a day consists of'here. Well, we start out the same as you do at Kiser and Finish just about the same time you do. Otherwise I put in about six peri- ods at hard labor. Joan Brewer won't tell but I heard she did a lot of dishin' out on Beg- gars' night fcandy, that ish. Too bad ,they wou.ldn't let me out to see. Kiser's award for the most crazy mixed-up kid goes to a little Fresh- man by the name of Ed Hill: Seems he has more girls than some famous lovers in American and European history. Grapevine news has it that the Seniors are putting on a little play tonight in the school auditorium. I vldll be there, look for me. I'm sure my guard won't mind. Didn't those Seniors who gave the Voice of Democracy speeches make you proud to be an American? Be seeing you. Signed, AL CATRAZ Uiil..9..Z!.i..? Photo by Toby Orr Here! Here! Let's not see who can get to the drinking fountain first. Remember, ladies before gentlemen. Mr. Whozit and Miss Whozit were both bom in Dayton, Ohio and live at 211 Alliance Place. When Ml 0849 rings the two of them run to answer it. Both went to Webster school last year. Miss Whozit was born February 28, 1940, and is in homeroom 223. She has light brown hair and green eyes, and can most always be seen with Alma Mayfield and Betty Miller. Standing 5 feet 4 inches tall she weighs 110. Mr. Whozit has dark brown hair and brown eyes. He was born De- cember 9, 1938, and is 5 feet 4 inches tall and tilts the scales at- 125. He can usually be seen at Shock's with Paul Plummer and Jim Agee. Ac- tivity period is spent in 222. If you don't know the Whozits, look in the ads. If all the girls lived across the sea, what great swimmers all the boys would be. THE KISVER PANTHER -- FalD1iY.'No57Ez'1iiBER:2o,-Bliss OH' PLEASE, 'Q ,Q MRl TURKEY! Nor 'rms WAY? 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. Miss Cellaneou BY JOAN BREWER When the battle's over, And the victory is wong At last we say with gladness: I've got my homework done! 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 . Halloween is over With all its tricks and pranks, 0 Thanksgiving now approaches us, ' Let's remember to give our thanks. 5 l 40406 lfgfef Ear f BY ALENE LAMBERT I BONNIE SUE HENDRICKSON-Bonnie really gets aroundg she has been in 42 states, Canada and Mexico.
