'ig ADS E ASHIOANS. ACTS BY TED STRADER How will the Kiser girls fight in the battle of the hemlines? This indeed is a questiorrworthy of individual consideration. Naturally, those girls with the shapely gams will favor a hemline rise so they can sport their nice curves. You see, it's strictly a matter of taste. And since I don't claim. to now too much, if anything, about hemlines, the most I can say is, Skirts are like prices, the higher they go, the more attention they at- tract. , - , Are the Dutch going in for hillbilly music? Apparently so, Bonny Lou's recording of Tennessee Wig'walk has been placed at the top of the pop- ularity list in Holland. Here in the states, it ranks 10th. Lately, it seems that quite a few kids have been dialing two certain teiephane numbers after 10 o'clock P.M. Cthis immediately excludes all football playersj hoping to get the busy signal. This may appear rather pointless, but really it's lots of fun and a fine way to meet new friends. It works this way. First, Clogically enoughj sit down by your telephone. Second, pick up the receiver and dial either FU 2801 or OL 8111, if you don't get the busy signal hang up and try again. When you do get the busy signal,,in all probability you will hear at least half-a-dozen other voices, yelling, whistling, and talking to each other between the buzzer. Just get someone's number, hang up, call them, and get acquainted. Try it. Levi's here! Levi's there! If you don't- believe they've taken over Kiser, look around you and just try to count them. ' Tootle Becomes Sec'y Judy Tootle was appointed secre- tary by Howie Miller at the first Stu- dent ,Council Meeting Sept. 15. 'Her appointment is due to the vacancy left by Betty Isbel who is now attending Wilbur Wright. . Adults Uught To 'Major In Minors' DEAR FRIENDS OF KISER: While in Florida this summer I saw a sign on a Youth recreation building which fascinated me. It read We Major in Minors. I would like for each parent and teacher and friend of youth to constantly keep this thought in mind as we go into the new school year of 1953-54. Everything we adults 'do is in- directly or directly for the minors- or at least it should be that way. Kiser High School really exists for minors. Of course we try to do all we can for adults, but, after all, helping minors Y is our ultimate aim. When you come to P.T.A. bear in mind that this group was origin- ally organized to help ' the Minors. . When you go to school athletic events remember 1 they too are pri- marily for the minors. I firmly believe that adults will do their part, Youth will measure up every time. If you, want real happi- ness, content and satisfaction try majoring in minors this year. Come to our school plays, musical programs, P.T.A. meetings, schobl dances, pic- nics and go to the polls and vote for these Minors who cannot vote for themselves. Especially when your own young- sters are participating on school events it is quite important for you to attend. They need your interest and backing. Empty chairs furnish no in- spiration. We teachers like to know that you show an interest in your children. I am enthusiastic about this com- ing school year. Why? Because I am going to 'MAJOR in MINORS. Are you? ' Sincerely, H D. L.

It has been discovered that atomic energy is a wonderful food preserver and, when processed by it, milk could be kept for three months with- out keeping it cold. Wonderful things are in store for us in the years to come. Atomic war- fare may be the least important use of atomic energy. Our future in atomic energy de- pends on the resourcefulness of to- day's youth. Mi ellaneou BY JOAN BIIEWER Well school has started once again And classes are a buzzin'. Homework? Well-ll-ll We're carrying books home by the dozen. Do any of you need some spare dough? Well why not stop in at Certified Bakery? It appears that they give it away. The only catch is, that it isn't the green stuff we like. Some Kiser kids stopped in at the bakery following the Football Premier and ask if they wouldn't give them some free bread? They agreedonly to disappoint the girls by giving them dough What do you think of Ted Stradei-'s styles? Well, they had better be good because Ted is writing the column 1 ' n - h h' 'Fads, Fashions, and Facts this year. By l e way t is is the first time any boy has ever written this column. More power to you Ted! Mr. Gehring, after explaining that Marco Polo spent 17 years in the court of Kublai Kahn, asked Rome Simp- son, when Marco retumed home. Rome, not knowing the answer, yet being a bright student, answered, Sev- enteen years after he left. ' l-las anything especially funny happened around school lately? If so, why not let us know about it. For you students who are new in this school, this column is devoted to mostly humorous happenings around the school that we thinkthe rest of the school would like to know about. If you know of any why not write about it and put it in the Panther Box, located in the cafeteria. Boy! Was the Troy game ever exciting! At least Larry Guinn must have thought so. When Kiser made their first touchdown, Larry jumped up and down and clapped his hands vigorously. The only thing wrong with his enthusiasm was that he happened to have two of the football player's watches in his hands. Result? Two broken watches. Just ask Jim Bratton or Don Swihart the time and see what kind of reaction you get. ' How soon can you get to Dayton from Troy, and back? So was the question asked by Mr. Klaes and Bucky Slife Friday gefore the Troy game. Reason? It seems that in the scramble to get to Troy, live football jerseys were left behind. Result? Five football players appeared on the field a few minutes late. Mr. Klaes revealed later that they made the trip in 55 minutes. Love ls like and onion You taste it with delight 1' And when its gone you wonder L What ever made you bite? UJHIJZIT ? Ah! What do we see here? Some- one's telling surmner secrets. Do you know what they're saying and who they are? It's Mr. and Miss Whozit., Miss Whozit is a member of the Senior class, the Y-Teens, the B. A. Club and one of the eight can-can girls. She tops the scales at 115 and is 5 ft. 3 in. tall, with green eyes, brown hair, and a freckly complexion. She may be found in room 120 between 8:15 and 8:55 Cmaybel. If you happen to see Janice Jackson or Sharon Nun- nery, you'll more and likely see Miss Whozit. She has no definite plans af- ter graduation. The Senior class claims our Mr. Whozit. He plays end on the football team, guard on the basketball team, and is a member of the golf team. Mr. Whozit stands at 5 ft. 10172 in. weighs 155 pounds, with a brown burr haircut, and freckly complexion. Howie Miller, and John Guffey are usually seen with Mr. Whozit. His home room is 120. Csame as Miss Whozit'sJ. After graduation he plans to attend Ohio University and major in educa- tion. ' Do you know who the Whozits are? Hex-e's a clue: notice the ring on Miss Whozit's hand. If you don't know now, look in the ads. a P0'lLlGll'l' on E lllll BY ALENE LAMBERT ORPHA MARIE WILLIAMS-Ever hear of unusual hobbies? Well, 'Orf has topped them all with hers. It is trying to become a laugh a minute. Orf was born on July 17, 1936 in Miamisburg, Ohio, but about a year later moved to Dayton. Now she lives at 1214 Lima Place and her tele- phone number is MI 3559. Being an active member of the Y- Teen club, of which she was presi- dent in her junior year, she is treas- urer of the Student Council and secretary-treasurer of the Honor Society. Happiest moment in Orpha's life was when her mother first told her she no longer had to wear leggings. Then, too, she was real happy when she was chosen to be one of the eight varsity cheerleaders. ORPHA Wolfe Studio Most embarrassing moment in her life was when she had to tell a waiter in a Chinese restaurant she didn't care for rice. Hailing from Webster, when Orf first entered the halls of Kiser, her thoughts were of being a big girl now. KEITH ALLEN BANKE- Prexy. That seems to be the favorite and ideal name for Keith as he is president of the Sen- ior Class, All-City Dance Council, Hi-Y, and the District Youth Organization including Dayton, Springfield, and Wilmington areas. Keith is also a member of the Honor Society and plays quarterback on the football team. In his freshman year he was elected most outstanding freshman and in his sophomore year was given the Sons of the American Revolution award. When asked what the happiest moment in his life, Keith blushed, then said being re-elected president of KEITH Wolfe Studio the class. Keith is 5 feet 71,6 inches tall with brown hair and brown eyes. He claims 2249 Valley Pike as his home and can be reached by dialing AD 8396. For his hobby Keith watches Don Thies pick tomatoes. Hailing from Mad River township, Keith thought the halls of Kiser were big along with having the unusual feeling most freshmen have. , Keith's most embarrassing experience was playing THE love scene in the Junior class play. Along with playing football, Keith finds track rating high in sports. He also has played basketball for the Central Christian Baptist Church. His future plans are to attend college, but he is uncertain which he will choose. . y In 1952 Keith was crowned king of the All-City Dance. 1 ' , 1

DEAR KISERITES, September 14, I was sitting in my cell trying to think of something to write when I turned on Arthur God- frey's Talent Scouts. Arthur was talking about schools opening that day in most cities. He mentioned something which I want to write to you about. Why you know, students at Kiser should consider yourselves lucky because their enrollment is not too large for the size of the building. There are some schools in the United States that are over-crowded. Students often have their lessons in a hallway or outdated schoolhouses. One way we can prevent our children from going to schools like this is to write your Congressman. Say friends, how about writing to me? My address is.
