' ' ' n It Is Lent Y gu ' l Q H O' O . 3 Have You The Spmf? L E T5 tell . - Most people are familiar with the story of the cruci- . .ff v i fixion of Christ and his resurrection, but how many people enter into the true spirit of Easter? Not as many '14 as should, we think. Why do you go to church Easter Sunday? Is it be- cause you want to show off that new outfit? Or is it Q because you want to hear the 'Easter message the minister prepared, and the music the choir presents. The at- tendance on Easter Sunday in some churches is double that of other Sun- days during the year. We're not im- plying that you should not go to church if you have not attended regularly but that you should go to church with the thought of wor- shiping. Since Ash Wednesday, the be- ginning of Lent, we have been in the Easter Season. Lent is the spring season 40 days before Easter. These days represent the 40 days Christ spent fasting in the desert. It is an old tradition to give up something during Lent. So why don't you ,give up the habit of sleeping Sunday mornings and go to church. Because of the religious season it is, let us make a point of going to church on Easter Sunday-and every Sunday. , X X l - l K FAD , FA lllll , ' ' FACT sr 'ran's'nmDs:n SEVERAL KISER BOYS showed sparks of enthu- siasm on St. Patrick's Day when they pinned green carnations to their lapels and proudly displayed them all day in the corridors and class rooms. Spencer Hart '54, seemed to be responsible for the Irish-Day fad. It was he who took the orders and furnished the fellows with their posies Cfor 5503. Among the decorated boys were: Bob Spencer '55, Ronny Streck '55, Ray Rigney '55, Leon Roberts '54, Curtis Williams '54, Doug Pippin '54, Carl Webb '54, and Jerry Grant '55. WHEN A MAN HAS INDIGESTION, holes in his socks, and buttons off his shirts, he should do one of two things: get married or get a divorce. I'M SURE THAT I EXPRESS the feelings of the Junior class as a whole, when I say that we enjoyed a pleasant and informative day as guests of the Frigidaire, March 25. After several instructive, yet entertaining movies and lectures, we, along with the 'Junior class of Stivers, were divided into small groups for guided tours of the huge plant. Then we ate lunch Con the housel, retumed to the auditorium for a brief question and answer session, and returned to Kiser for dismissal. WHAT T.V. SHOWS RATE TOPS on your viewing? Here's how the answers summed up when a similar question was asked to 186 high school editors in a recent poll conducted by Compact, a young people's digest' magazine. As might be expected, Dragnet topped the list. Then came fin orderl I Love Lucy , Toast of the Town , Robert Montgomery Presents , both of Arthur Godfrey's evening shows, Studio One , Omnibus , Kraft T.V. Theater , Colgate Comedy Hour , and Your Hit Parade . ' SEVENTEEN ANNOUNCES it's ninth annual short story contest for young writers, with prizes totaling 51000, in the April edition of the teenage magazine. The contest is open to anyone, boy or girl, between the ages of 13 and 19. YOU ARE CORDIALLY INVITED to the city-wide dance for all Dayton teenagers to be held day after to- morrow from 8 to 11 at the Frigidaire Lodge. The Bunny Hop , as the dance is named, is being sponsored by Junior Achievement of Dayton. However, you need not belong to the organization to attend. Joe Aceto and his band are furnishing the music. Tickets can be pur- chased from the Center, from an Achiever, or at the door. They cost 31.50 drag, and 31.00 stag. -I-IE WAS RIGHT OUT of a basketball coach's dream.

Does Martha Spitzig have a sunburn? No, it's just the color of her face when she's embarrassed. Before our last air raid CMarch 30J all students were asked to check their third period shelters and Martha discovered hers to be the boys locker room CMartha is in the journalism room third periodj. Following orders,-Martha rushed into the locker room after hearing the siren only to find Ken Weese fin gym trunksj. The last we saw of Martha she was running down the hall and her face was a crimson color. ' Did you know the War of the Roses Cfought by two rival English families for supremacyj has a new name? Miss Anna Tuhey, American and English literature teacher, asked Bill Bashaw to report on the war to his fourth period class and in his talk he referred to the war as the war of 'Four' Roses. Also, in the same class, Tony Bystrek was asked to read Shakespeare's sonnet Shall I Compare Thee to a Summer Day? Shortly, Tony came to the line And often is his gold complexion dimm'.d when just as he said the word dimm'd, the lights went out. No, no one in the room turned them off. The power failed and all the rooms were in the dark.

So Is Frank Stall BY SHIRLEY LAMBERT One might think that there is a fu- ture star in the entertainment world right here at Kiser after taking a look at the trophies and medals belonging to Frank.Stall '56, In a recent gymnastics meet at Co- lumbus, Frank placed in seven out of eight events, winning a second place rating in overall competition. He com- peted with about 35 contestants. In the Ohio-West Virginia Area Gym- nastics Meet he placed second on the high bar, third on the parallel bar, fourth in rope cl mbing, fourth on flying rings, fourth on the trampoline, and sixth on the side horse. In these meets, Frank has won a Leaders Team Trophy twice and if he can win it again he may keep it.

Air Raid Drill Is Success At K iser The city-wide practice air raid drill, held at 11 a.m., March 30th, was very successful at Kiser, according to C. E. Shannon, assistant principal. Not all students participated in the drill because it occured during the lunch hour. If all students were in the building at the time of the drill, re- sults might differ, added Mr. Shan- non. Even though there were several substitute teachers at Kiser the day of the drill, both students and teach- ers reacted quickly and were in their assigned shelters in one and one-half minutes. Future raid drills in which the public schools will take part' are scheduled for April 27 and May 25. , V w Black SL Lee Monument Co. l23l EAST FIFTH STREET DAYTON., OHIO ' Open Daily Until 6:00 P.M.

It seems that now they have changed that cheer to: What's the matter'with the Car- rousel? Recently The Four Fresh- man played before 1100 students while before when they were here they entertained over twice that number. So, if you can't find anything to do on Sunday afternoons pay us a visit. I will be looking for you. Put me down, you brute, was Pat Graham's cry the other Sunday when Ken Weese had picked her up. He did, in about 15 inches of water at Huffman Dam. P.S. She got wet! To date I haven't received word from the parole board. As soon as I do I will let you know the good Cor badl news. The guard here must have thought we were off our rockers two weeks ago. That's when the April Fool edi- tion came out and everyone here was laughing so hard that they nearly split their sides. Hey, mom! Get out the rubbing alcohol because we may need it after the Faculty-Hi-Y Basketball game this afternoon. The Hi-Y will star in its line-up, Don Lead Foot Thies and Jim Hot Shot Reger. R. O. Bevo Wilson and Jumpin' Dave Talbott are expected to lead the fac- ulty to another victory. Arrangements are being made to have a picture of me enclosed in my next letter. So you can be looking for it.
