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.

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 .

Incidentally, traveling is her hobby. i Last Thursday and Friday, Bonnie could be found be- hind stage putting make-up on the kids in the play. Most embarassing thing that ever happened to Bonnie was getting up in social problems class to give Burt's speech. Now he does his own home work. Her happiest moment was being tapped for the Honor Society, and just being alive makes her real happy, too. Born in Ferdoni, Kansas, Nov. 12, 1936, she now lives at Box 87, Troy Pike. Girls, you can reach her by dialing FU 1030, but sorry boys, she's already taken. Vice-President of the Honor Society, her plans after graduation are not really definite but,she wants to find a good secretarial job. BILL J.

FOUR' THE! KISER PANTHER FnmAv,Now-E 'm'iuEs misss New Club, ear., 4 - fnfewa To Benefit Kiser Band A new club, Kiser Band Aides, 'was organized by interested parents and students at a meeting held Nov. 4th in the Kiser band room. ' -Purpose of the club is to promote the interest of Kiser teachers,- par- ents, and students in the band and especially to'interest more students in playing band instruments. The club will meet in the Kiser band room at 7:30 pm, on the first Wednesday of every month. Oflicers of the club are: Wilbur Theis, president, Mrs. Ralph Speel- man, vice-presidentg Mrs. Leon Shroyer, secretaryg and Mr. Leon Shroyer, treasurer, with J. P. Hole- sovsy, band director, and D. L. Sol- lenberger, principal, as trustees. According to the club constitution, there is no limit to the number of members in the club. Sale of Christmas candy is the first project of the club. All proceeds will go toward the purchase of new band instruments. We hope our organization will be an active one and will benefit both the band and school, said Mr. Theis, and we are asking everyone's help in achieving our aim. Why Not Count Your Blessings? , DEAR KISER FRIENDS: Recently I heard an unfortunate person express the attitude that there would be no Thanksgiving for their family this year. No Thanks- giving! Surely not, if -we count our misfortunes. No doubt every one of us have troubles enough to over- shadow our blessings if we put emphasis upon the wrong things. But life doesn't move forward that way. Life and happiness are built upon the principle that we look for the best. As the pop song of a few years ago repeated over and over, Accentuate the Positive. There is not one I of us who can af- ford to skip counting his blessings at Thanksgiving this year, regardless of reverses. There comes a wonderful psychological lift when you take time out to list the things you have left for which to be thankful. Try it! Honor Thanksgiving in your heart this year, even if the festivities are missing. Enter His gates with thanksgiv- ing, and into His courts with praise: Be thankful unto Him, and bless His name. Psalm 100:4. Sincerely, D. L. SOLLENBERGER Principal Pastor Plays For Teens Tony Pastor and his well-known band will perform for Dayton and Montgomery County teen-agers next Sunday at the Carrousel Teen Club. Other coming attractions include: Gene Mayl's Dixieland Rhythm Kings, November 29, Sauter-Finne- gaxi Bend with Sally Sweetland as the featured vocalist, December 6. BY TED STRADER WITH THE COMING WINTER SEASON there is a definite trend toward fur. Sweaters and dresses of all description are being made with eye-catching collars and cuffs of fur. Many other small articles have adopted tufts of fur, for example, there's a small attraction consisting of two white balls of what looks to me like rabbit fur. These, about the size of tennis balls, are connected with a black velvet cord and draped around the neck in any desired manner creating new and unique effects. . . C. Goes Toiflolumbus Tomorrow the F.N.C. fFuture Nurses Clubb will be guests of the Ohio State Univ. Medical Center, through the generosity of the club's sponsor, the Dayton View Kiwanis Club.

To be on the Dean's list one has to receive an average of B or better for the preceding semester. ' Stover Speaks At Delco W. M. Stover was a guest speaker at Delco Products during a meeting ofthe Miami Valley Vocational Guid- ance Association last Wednesday. MARYBELLE'S DELICATESSEN 342 TROY ST. GROCERIES M EATS I FOUNTAIN SERVICE - I LUNCH ES BUT DO NOT THINK all of this fuzzy-business is being directed at women. Listen to this. Around New York, originators have come up with the idea of fur neckties for the gents. Perhaps this sounds okay to some of you boys but as far as I'm concerned, they can put all of their fur neckties back into cages where they belong. WHAT'S HAPPENING to the modern generation? Operators of a New Jersey amusement park report that their figures show that the tun- nels of love are losing their appeal and' wonder what is happening to romance in these United States. NO LONGER are scatter pins being limited to sweaters and blouses. Not by far, in fact, not by about two or three feet. If you still don't know what I'm referring to, cast an eye toward the hemlines and doubtless to say you'll see some of these little ornaments tacked around the kick pleats of skirts wom by some of our more fad-conscious young misses. Decorated horse blanket pins Covergrown safety pins, are also used. WITH GRADE CARDS going home December 8, this grading per- iod ends Dec. 4. Consequently there are only nine days left. Better get on the ball. QUITE A FEW loyal Kiserites were present at the Stuart Patterson Youth Center last Thursday for this year's first and last football pep rally, put on by our own peppy Panther- ettes. After several ear-blistering cheers to spur the team for the Wil- bur Wright clash, the scene was dominated by record dancing. The bunny-hop seemed to go over the best. Assembly Cancelled ' Charles King, well-known Negro singer, could not appear in Kiser's auditorium last Friday since it was necessary for him to be in New York to appear on Arthur Godfrey's Talent show. . He will visit Kiser at a later date. Snyder, Nelson Get' Boy Scout Awards, Two Kiser boys, Ronald Nelson and Harry Snyder, have just recently received the God and Country medal for their loyal service. In order to receive this medal, the two boys had to memorize and recite each book of the Bible, be able to quote passages, have perfect attend- ance, and usher regularly. ' Meetings are held weekly at the HARRY SNYDER Cleftj and Ron- ald Nelson are pictured looking over each other's God and Country Scout medals. CPhoto by Toby Orrj Trinity Methodist Church on Valley Street. The troop is headed by Curt Miller, Jr., scoutmaster. Merit badges rank high on the. boy's list. Ronald claims eight while Harry can account for six. Among these are firemanship, safety, citizen- ship, home repairs, metal work, and electricity. Being den chief for Pack 8 is an- other activity. It is a den chief's job to see that the cub-scouts 'are in order and prepared to enter the Boy Scouts. Love's blindg but the neighbors aren't. I .
