The rising number of delinquent cases poses a great problem for the judiciary and society in general. Why this increase? Recently, Judge Frank Nicholas of the Dayton Juven- ile Court, supplied some answers to this question. Three Classes Exist Juvenile offenders are generally divided into three classes: delin- quent, dependent and neglected. The first of these types commits offenses for pleasure or for no reason at all. In this class the child takes his first step toward becoming a habitual criminal. Dependent delinquents are chil- dren of parents who are generally nearly financially destitute. These parents cannot take care of their children. Consequently, the children un-is nn--. tFl'E'1V5'ER PRESENTING JOAN BREWER with the 1952 Annual Report on juvenile delinquency is Judge Frank Nicholas of the Dayton Juvenile Court.

Prematurely forced into making de- cisions, these boys and girls often turn to the wrong methods of satis- fying their wants. - Parents are most, responsible for the third of this group--the neg- lected. These children have been cast aside 'by parents who donjt take a sufficient interest in them because they have been busy working and lose personal contact with them. Then the young people, not being in reach of parential discipline, often tum to seek thrills which bring them abreast of the law. A Delinquent Offenders Predominate Of the types already mentioned the delinquent offenders are by far the most numerous and of this group the boys exceed the girls five to one. Of the neglected and dependent delin- quents the ratio is about one to one. The largest nuinber of offenseshare traffic violations with 588 cases re- ported, general stealing coming sec- ond with 205, and auto thefts falling third with 160. U Teachers Can Help Aside from the lack of parential discipline some of the blame must be placed on school teachers. Teach- ers who set good examples and gain the respect of their students can ex-' pect to have a favorable influence on their students. Only through the education of parents and children alike can we rid our' society of delinquency, says Judge Nicholas. Satisfactory recreational facilities must be provided and energies di- verted into constructive channels. Juvenile Center Rejected Twice Montgomery County voters have rejected proposals to .erect a new Juvenile Center. This is unfortu- nate since Montgomery County has done nothing since 1928 to provide more or better detention care for de- linquents and since 1938 has afforded no additional space for Juvenile Court operations. t . A few of- the problems resulting from this are: the jailing of some delinquents because of the lack of Detention Home space, within' the Detention Home itself there is no adequate medical program and iso- lation facilities, there is insufficient space for sleeping, eating, and activi- ties for children. However, the Detention Home does owe much to various individuals which have offered their support. It is through such help that they have been able to provide the boys and girls with such things as Red Cross classes, religious' services, and special art instruction! North Dayton Improved At one time North Dayton's juven- ile ' delinquent rate ,was high but Judge Nicholas was glad to report that now the number has been greatly reduced. , - A Most adults feel this younger gen- eration is 'going to the dogs.', How- ever, I feel that this generation is no worse than the preceding one. Never- theless, we must do our part in help- ing to 'STOP'juveni1e delinquency, Judge Nicholas concluded., 1 ' -to . .. ...-...-.. ...-,,.. .T .-.U ,L . ,,,,,,,,,v, ,Y ,gig-i,-,,v,Ki,,lh,V A.

Miss Whozit was bom in Rich- mond, Kentucky, July 11, 1936, with blond hair and blue eyes, and is often seen with Ann Roberts, Barbara Bates, and Leota Seale. Residing at 338 East Second Street, Miss Whozit can be reached by dial- ing AD 6864. She is 5 ft. 4 in. tall and weighs 115 lbs. Since she is a Senior her homeroom is 119. Pham by Toby oi: Mr. Whozit is 5 ft. 8 in. tall, weighs 147 lbs., and is usually seen .with Carl Webb and Chuck Brock. He also has 'blond hair and blue eyes. He lives at 1214 Lima Place and can be reached by dialing MI 3559. Mr. Whozit was born September 21, 1934, in Dayton, Ohio. He, too, is a Senior and is in 119 homeroom. If you don't know the Whozits look in the ads. We Want Your Newsg Gossip We Can't Use I'm sure that almost everyone here at Kiper is somewhat familiar with the small wooden box just inside the east cafeteria door. This box, with the label Letters to the Editor, was placed there by the PANTHER staff for the sole purpose of giving stu- dents an opportunity to submit sug- gestions and stories which you would like toisee in print. But unfortu- nately, most of the writings found in the box are conveyed almost directly from it to the waste basket simply because they either do not coincide with the policies and standards of the PANTHER, or are just absolutely worthless as news items. A For example, one letter ftypicalj came to us through the box telling us that we should have a gossip column and perhaps print names of some of the 'steadies' around school. Our reply to this is very simple and can be summed up briefly like this. Gos- sip, even friendly, can be malicious, it can tear a person down, and above all, it positively is not supported by truth and accuracy which are part of the foundation of journalistic writing that the PANTHER stands for. , 'I-Iowever, do not get the wrong idea. We, down here in 107, will ap- ' 'preclate hearing from you when you think you have an item worthy of print. So keep dropping us your ideas and be lure to SIGN THIS ARTICLE soltcanbeverifledifused.

Gads, what a thought! Ever say, Aw Mom, I haven't got anything different to wear today! We all say this occasionally, but it must be nearly a daily on Gerhard Neumaier's list. Recently, a permit was sent for Gerhard to his sixth period class where he 'lf Q ' was engrossed in his ' studies. The teacher looked around the i room and after a long time, said, Oh, 'there you are. I didn't recognize you, you've got a different shirt on! Jane Engle, after studying hydrochloric acid, asked Beverly Brookey to say good-bye in French. Beverly's reply was Au Revoir. Whereupon Jane said, No, its hydrochloric acid. Hydrochloric acid? came Beverly's question. Yea, answered Jane, we just learned that hydrochloric acid was good-bye in any language! From now on maybe it would be a good thing if Al Catraz wrote Santa Claus what each one of us wanted for Christmas. It seems that after the Christmas issue came out, Virginia. Kirkland and Bill Cansler found a pair of miniature false teeth and a toy set of drums re- spectively, in their lockers! . It's nice to get to a basketball game especially if you know where it is! December 18, after Toby Orr had arrived in Troy to see our mighty team win Conly we lostlj he headed for the Hobart Arena thinking that was where such games were played. Upon arriving the ticket agent asked where his skates were and Toby replied, You don't need skates to see a basketball game! The man, a wee bit startled, asked what he meant. Then the man, after Toby had explained, di- rected him to the game, and Toby was soon enroute to Troy High! Remember Santa Claus who came to Kiser for the Student Council Variety Show? Ut was really Doug Pippin dressed as Santah. After he made his appear- ance he went to the clinic where two small children from a neighboring school were waiting to have their teeth fixed. Upon spying him they both ran to him, and each ex- citingly began to list the items they wanted for Christmas! Poor Doug! What do you do .F fe.. 4 1 u .A I Esau sea in a case like that?

FRIDAY, JANUARY 15, 1954 ' fi, p Q T' 0 QQ WO fG,5fj we . 0 BY ALENE LAMBERT ESSIE MAE BAKER-Born here in Dayton on March 9, 1936, Essie Mae now lives at 1054 Valley Street and can be reached by dialing HE 3254. She is 5 ft. 4 in. tall and weighs 105 lbs., is a strawberry blond, and has hazel-green eyes. Her happiest moment was realizing she was a Senior and that her school days were com- ing to a rapid end. Then came her thoughts of what to do after grad- uation, so she chose to work in a bank. Not being able to keep from blushing when anything is said is one of Essie Mae's biggest and most embarrassing tasks. Her greatest disappointment came last year when she cou1dn't go to the Junior- Senior Prom. Herghobby is listening to Stran- Essgm, smug ger In Paradise and cooking. CHARLES DUANE HOOKER-Finding a big red lipstick imprint on his white letter sweater proved to be quite embarrassing for Duane, especially since it all happened at one of the All-City Dances about 'a year ago. He says she fell, but who will believe that? What a blast! Being elected captain of this year's varsity basketball team seems to be his happiest moment. His biggest disappointment, like everyone else's here at Kiser, was this year's football season, which is subject to change if a few more of those shots don't go in that basket at the basketball games. , His hobby is collecting records and he is a real true fan of Stan Kenton's. Any of his songs makes Duane happy, but the one he likes best is Artistry In Rhythm. Duane is secretary-treasurer of the I-Ii-Y, president of the Honor Society, and president of the Carrousel Teen Club. 4 Bom in Dayton, February 18, 1936, Duane now lives at 1012 Leo Street and can be reached by dialing AD 6364. He is five ft. 10115 in. tall with blond hair and green eyes. tSometimes they are green, that is, they change colors to go with his surroundings.J After graduation, he plans to attend-somefcollege but he isn't sure which school or what subjects to take yet. .
