BY DUANE HOOKER What's the matter with the team? The team's all right! Well, who says so? I don't. Is there actually something wrong, or is it our imagination? Have we been losing because of inferior mate- rial or has it been the coaching? Ma be it has been both. However, james Gallico To Talk To Seniors James Gallico from the University of Dayton, will talk to Seniors in- terested in going to college in an assembly to be held in the audito- rium, February 11. General information on college and universities will supply the back- ground for the first part of Mr. Galli- co's talk. Advantages of college edu- cation, problems on entrance, and courses offered will be included. Mr. Gallico will then talk speci- fically to students interested in at- tending the University of Dayton. Whaf's On Tap? Jan. 30-Kiser vs. Roosevelt, Coliseum, Jan. Feb Feb Feb Feb. Feb. 7 P-UI.

I have played two years of varsity football, basketball, and track. I'm sure we were coached as well and had as much. material as any other school in town. Here is my story on what is wrong: It doesn't hurt to lose. You don't care, I don't care, the players don't care, and Tom, Dick, Judy, Jack and Bill don't care. You will find this true of the faculty as well as the students. Oh, it hurts a little bit, but not enough. Kiser High School has lost so many games since I've been here that it isn't new to lose. Why should I care if we lose? Have any other teams ever won? I think that is what the players think and the rest of the school is doing nothing to help. A few upper-classmen remember 1951. That was the last time that we had a good year in athletics. This year's football team had great possibilities. Now it's too late. In my mind this year's basketball team was loaded. It still is. However, it is not yet too late-not completely. It could be. Time's rolling away fast. I think we can catch it. Do you? Class Tours News, Mon.

She is publicity chairman of the Y-Teen Club, Presi- dent of K.G.S. Sorority, a member of the B.A. Club, and a member of the Carrousel Teen Club. Her biggest disappointment was not being elected historian of the class. ' Shirley was born in Dayton, June 26, 1936, and now lives at 1701 Leo Street. She can be reached by dialing FU 1707. She is 5 ft. 5 in. tall with brown hair and hazel eyes. She has no favorite subject and her hobby is trying to get out of work. Till We Two Are One rates high on Shirley's list of pop- ular songs. After graduation she plans to attend Bowling Green University but is not sure of her major. WILLIAM DAVID HEERMAN,' JR. VIII-Were you ever really embarrassed? Well, Bill surely was the day he came to school with a hole in the seat of his pants. You would be too, I guess. His biggest diSaP- pointment was seeing Westem Kentucky beat U.D. His happiest moment came when he got his '53 Oldsmobile 88 al- though the ownership is shared with other members of the family. Now the car has turned out to be his hobby. Outside of working on his car, Bill finds time to be vice-president of the Latin Club and has a tem- pory membership with the Miami Valley Custom Club. He was born August 26, 1936, and ten minutes later his twin brother Bob was born, they are identical twins. He now lives on Kittridge Rd., and can be reached by dialing AD 4882. He stands 5 ft. 83A in., and tips the Wolfe Studlo Wolfe Studlo scale at 128 lbs., has brown hair and brown eyes. Rating top on his list of hit songs is Till Then and his favorite subject is 3-A flunch periodl. He claims his pet peave is Jerry Cline this best friendj. After graduation, Bill plans-to go to college but has not yet decided which one. He will either choose Uni- versity of Florida or University of Cincinnati. 7-.lzunb -.+:' :':'.- -.1:':'i. ,t I ,.-.w:'.- .1-'.'.---.-.-.

Y FRIDAY, JANUARY 29, 1954 A -.1 L..ILli ' Q9 i 1 I ' ,lgohvf at c0N iff Nhss Celaneou BY JOAN BREWER Now, some say the Seniors are lazy, And some say a bride's a sap, But they've one thing in common- ' They're now on their last lap! Knock, knock! Who's there? ' Such was the question Jerry 1 Cline probably asked when re- cently he, went to call on a certain young Miss. It seems -55 -i-4 Jerry arrived at the house, V -----. , knocked, was invited in, took a ' ' seat, and became engaged in a M 1 conversation. After a while . Jerry asked where the girl was and found he was in the wrong home! Well, Jerry, better check that number next time! r' - 7 .. N 'Gigi 12144 ' 3 :gif ..:::a.a. 931625555552 L ' iZQ::1ss1'f iii '.CSF!5EEEE ' 5722... .. ' :....- Silillll t lll' f Alina' Man! That's the most!! For those of you wondering what Pm talking about, here 'tis. You see, after the Kiser-Fairview game at the coliseum, Roosevelt and Wilbur Wright played. Playing for Wright was Dick Beckham who wore a plastic eye guard. According to Bill Dixon, another Wrighter, Dick had, in a previous game, cut his eye and the guard was to protect his eye from another such accident. However, two Kiser girls. Orpha Williams and Alene Lambert, not knowing this, had ideas and questions of their own. Their conversa- tion ran like this: ' Al, look! cried Orpha, That guy's wearing a wind- shield! Oh, sure! said Alene. Well, what for? I don't know, came Alene's reply. It's raining out- side and maybe he doesn't want to get his eyes wet! 0h! said Orpha. However, Orpha was still pondering this situation and later asked: Wonder if he has any windshield wipers? 'fl don't see any, said Alene. . Well, what if someone would spit in his eye! Sorry, said Al, he'll just have to suffer! Now, tell me kids, don't you ' think all assignments done in class should be handed in? Bill Heerman - doesn't think so. Why? Last Friday ' Mr. Sparks, typing teacher, an- nounced it was to be a free period where everyone could type what he pleased. He suggested that 'they write letters since that is what the class had been doing most of the last semester. Bill's hand shot into the air and he asked, Do we have to hand in these letters for you to read Mr. Sparks, to our disappointment, said, No. But we're still wondering what was in that letter! Is this your bedtime prayer? WWF 0 sf .:nS.vha- , Now I lay me down to sleep ,V Although my homework's not complete. But when I ,rise with this undone- That's okaylvl won't he the only one! Am? LU'1uz1T ? I BY SHIRLEY LAIVIBERT Time passed, did you? Or are you worrying about the second semester? Let's see who these worried people are. Miss Whozit was bom in Dayton, Ohio, February 27, 1939. She is 5 feet 4Vg inches tall and weighs 110 pounds. Stuart-Patterson is where she can be found if not at 646 Keowee Street. One might be able to talk to her by dialing AD 4381. Among her many friends are Nancy Heidereich and Rheta Walker. She has brown hair and brown eyes. Mr. Whozit was also bom in Day- ton, Ohio, September 18, 1938 with blond hair and blue eyes. He is 5 feet 7 inches tall and weighs 125 pounds. He lives at 157 Alton Avenue and you might be able to reach him by dialing MI 2804. If he isn't there he will probably be at Stuart-Patterson Park with Bob Thomas and Tony Hopkins. If you don't know who the Whozits are look in the ads. J Photo by Toby Orr Students Drop Subjects Of First Semester, Why? There are students who dropped subjects they were taking the first semester. Why? Usually it can be summed up in three ways. First, the subject was harder than they antici- pated, second, they didn't work enough on the subject, third, they didn't like the teacher because he was too strict. You will never get far in this world if you let something difiicult stand in your way. Everytime you come against something more diffi- cult than you think you can man- age, you try to evade it. Instead of avoiding it you should make it your goal, and be determined you are going to do it. Someone once said If at first you don't succeed, try, try again. This is a true statement and you should make it your policy. It is the people who work and stick to it, no matter what the difficulties are, that make a success in this world. Also remember, A quitter never wins, and a winner never quits. , Was the teacher really too strict? Probably not. You didn't keep your work up to date, and once you got behind it was hard to catch up. Or you probably were too lazy to do it anyway. Don't be a person to sit back and let the other fellow do the work. If you really want something out of life, you have to put something into-it. Jed Somers says the average wom- an has a smaller stock of words than the ordinary man, but the turnover is greater. , , , .K 51 . -' --' f ., ,, . 1 ,f 1.1 . - .5 .- .. . V - 1' J- ' .. I' H '.
