Clues will be glven from time to time and lt will be up to you to tlgure out who writes be- hind the dusky wall of Sing Sing. 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 Students often have their lessons in a hallway or outdated schoolhouses.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.

Miss Jones Returns Miss Ruth Jones, senior civics and social problems teacher, has returned to Kiser after recovering from an op- eration on her leg during the summer months. - During Miss Jones absence, she was replaced by Mrs. Juanita McKee. '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.

FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 25, 19537 rn E K 1 s ER PA N T H E R ' ' p - PAGE F WE Panthers lnvade Vllildcat Den Tonight At 8 Springfield Strong Foe: Favored Club Tonight, in Springfield, Ohio, Kiser and Springfield Public will meet on the gridiron. The game will get under way at about 8. Judging from last year's look at Springfield, they should have a strong team. On the line, they are big, in the backfield they are fast, and teamed together they are rough and mighty. Quarterback Marion Do- Little Crowe, is considered a dan- gerous threat. Last year, with many passing and running gains, Spring- field pounced Kiser 39-0. For a short time last year, Spring- field was number one in the state. An aerial offence is highly probable as shown from previous games. Big bur- ley men, many averaging 185 lbs. each will guard the line. With this great team, keep your eye on Springfield. THE MIDDLE of the Panther line and the first string backfield that will probably go against Springfield Public tonight is shown above in a familiar pose. First in line is Ken Weese in the right half-back slot seeing his second year of action as a varsity gridder. Don Thies, second in line, is a converted guard who has been switched to fullback. Next, comes Stan Lucky Luckoski, Kiser's fleet-footed left half. Calling the plays will be Keith Banke shown at the quarterback position. Moving to the line we find diminutive Danny Yount holding down the right guard post. Over the ball is big Doug Pippin playing in the center of the line after a year's absence from the gridiron. At the left guard is third year man, Leon Roberts. . Cats Roll By Troy Trojans: Lose To Iigers In Premier With Don Thies, Stan Luckoski, Ken Weese, and Keith Banke, showing the way, the Kiser Panthers rolled over their opening game opponent, the Troy Trojans, September 18. Wasting no time in getting the scoring under way, Ken Weese dashed over to score from the Troy six with less than seven minutes of the initial period gone. Hooker's try for the conversion was wide. Troy Fumble Costly In the third period, Kiser ,capital- ized on a Troy fumble on the Trojans own 15-yard line. On the first play, Banke went 14 yards on a sweep all the way down to the Troy one yard line. Seconds later, Lucky Luckoski bulled his way over from the one and made the score 12-0. Again Hooker's conversion try failed. Banke Spearheads Drive Driving 65 yards in six plays in the final stanza, the Cats wrapped up the game with their third and final touch- down. Hooker going the first 15 yards On a pass from Banke. Banke then threw to Weese for 16 more vital yards. Again, it was Banke in an off- tackle play as he picked up 14 yards to the Troy 21-yard line. Sweeping around left end, Bank galloped down to the Trojan 11. Full.. back Don Thies took over at this Stage Sfliflg six yards on his first try, and plunging the final five for the score. Hooker missed the conversion attempt, but it was not needed as the Cats of Kiser swept by the Trojan ,horse 18-0. Panthers Tamed ' Fumbles proved costly to the spir- ited Kiser eleven as they again lost in the High School Premier. This time to Stivers by a 7-0 count. Playing only two eight minute per- iods in the Oct. 11 tilt, the Cats found that one bobble can mean the old ball game. Stivers' Jim Bridges pounced on a Kiser fumble on the Panthers own 32, to set up the only score of the game. Four plays later, Herbie Schafer, bounded over from the 12 for the six points, and the P. A. T. try was good. Wanted: More Players , Hughes A class that has as many boys as Kiser's freshman class should be able to get more boys out for football, says Jim Hughes new freshman foot- ball coach. Mr. 'Hughes speaks with plenty of coaching experience being former head football and track coach at Germantown before coming to Kiser. A graduate of Wilmington College he makes his home in Germantown, with his wife, a son who will enter Ohio State and a daughter who is a freshman at Germantown High School. Highest on the list of Coach Hughes' accomplishments was the discovery of a boy in one of his gym classes at Germantown whom he turned into the state's number one sprint runner. The freshman football team has been a big disappointment to Mr. Hughes. At one time he had 19 boys out while the other day there were only five. Coach Hughes truely be- lieves that if a boy has it in his heart to play football he will be a good football player. l l Everything in Sports Equipment Jim Flynn, Inc. I. PIIRT lllllil' By Long-0 Well, another football year is roll- ing and things have started off as usual with the Premier. Kiser played Stivers in the Premier and lost 7 to 0 in a short but well-played game. In case you haven't noticed, some of Kiser's Kats.are showing signs of their trade in various ways. Just to give you a few examples there are: broken and sprained ankles, stomped faces and one dislocated shoulder. This being just the beginning of the year, one sort of wonders how things will turn out. Morale is High The equad, which incidently consits of about 15 lettermen, has a few dis- advantages because of size but the morale is sky high. Maybe, with a few more players the team might be a little better. A Fairmont Triumps Kiser Panthers started out the year Team Spirit May Spur Kiser Victory High morale, confidence, and intes- tinal fortitude, fCoach Stover's re- fined phase for guts J, may prove to be the key asset for the Kiser eleven in their game tonight against Spring- field at 8. With a game and a half under their belts our lads in the gold headgears will roll into Springfield for their second out-of-town clash. Although the game in no way is connected with the city league, the players are anxious for victory in order that they may prove to them- selves that their long hours of prac- tice and training have made them into a team of athletes superior to last year's gridsters. Although they had ample size and potential ability Kiser was efellied 39-0 there at Springfield and re- mained defeated flve games after- wards. The boys this year have con- fidence in themselves that they will not follow suit. Seeing the most action in the back- field tonight will probably be Lucky Luckoski and Keri Weese at the half spots, Don Thies at full, and Keith Banke under the center. Bill Glaspey, a senior, who has been giving Weese a respectable challenge at the right half position might also see quite a bit of play, along with Gerhardt Ziegler, who incidently, does the team's punting- with their first scrimmage at Fair- mont. It was an hour and a half later that they walked off the field with the score standing: Fairmont 27, Kiser 14. Strange Things This is strictly hush, hush, but I heard from the boys on the outside of the pregame huddle Friday, that there was a small furry Creature lurking in the shadows trying to in- filtrate. It was later discovered that it was a mouse but was discouraged by a pair of size tens. If you like to play the game, play it. But if you're playing just for a name, forget it, Because you might get the glory which wanting you do, Then someone who tells your story might disapprove of you. - Ice cream Hartelis Soft 'W'-' Troy 8 Leo Sis.
