Meeting Sl-IOWN ENGAGED in various activities at Webster shool are a number of children in special classes for retarded children. fPhotos by Paul Grilfyj Little Jeanne Benefits From New Community Chest Agency Jeanne was a beautiful baby, just like her brother Jerry and sister Joan were when they were born. When she was about four months old, her parents noticed that even though she looked like her older brother anddsister, she was different. She couldn't hold on to a baby rattle and paid no attention to what was going on around her. On her first birthday she hacln't' even begun to crawl. This was unusual, for Jerry and Joan had been walking by that time. Her parents began to worry and took her to a doctor. He told them that there was nothing he could do for her, that she was a retarded child. A few years ago little Jeanne would have been a 'iforgotten child. Her parents would have just kept her in the house and practically neglected her. Her world would have been dark and dismal, with nothing but ridicule for her in the surrounding neighbor- hood. But today Jeanne has every chance for a happy future. Her parents heard of the Council for Retarded Children, the Community Chest's newest agen- cy. They went to find out what could be done and discovered there were classes for such children at Edison, Webster, and Lincoln schools, and the American Legion Post. So they en- rolled their daughter in one of them. There are different degrees of in- telligence below normal just as there are above normal. In these schools, retarded children are taught to the fullest extent of their learning ability. Slow-learning children are always happy as long as someone loves them and they have someone to love. They are unusually affectionate and like to show their feelings and their love for someone. They have teachers who show their love for them at school, and they have their mothers and fathers to love and take care of them at home. The Board of Education pays one- third of the cost to send these children to school. If parents can afford to help, they pay whatever they can. The state and theiCommunity Chest pay the difference. When you give to the Community Chest, remember this story about Jeanne and her parents, for this is a story of any family, anywhere, who has or could have a retarded child. Remember, there are a lot of Jeannes in this country who haven't any chance to go to school, because there is no money to pay for their education. The Council for Retarded Children is just one of the 46 agencies to which the Community Chest gives money. So when you give, be sure you give enough to share 46 ways. - Kiseris Fourth Homecoming Slated, Oct. 16 Following the Kiser-Stivers game, Oct. 16, the fourth annual Kiser homecoming will be held at Stuart Patterson Community Center in Stu- art Patterson Park from 10:30 pm. to 1i00 a.m. Cheerleaders will be in charge of plans for homecoming with Pauline Tatone acting as general chairman. Working with Pauline will be Joan Brewer, in charge of tickets, Virginia Kirkland, ballots, Judy Wombold, special invitations, Martha Spitzig, general publicity, Orpha Williams, band and coronationg and Judy Tootle, decorationsg with Janet Hanes helping Pauline supervise. Half-time entertainment will be given by Paulette Tatone and Terry Zadin, the cheerleader's mascots. Tickets will be 50 cents per person and Jack Felkley's band will furnish the music. Twenty-seven girls were elected in home rooms last week to run as candidates for queen or attendants. There will be one attendant from each grade and a senior girl as queen. Runner-up for the queen will be the senior attendant. Freshmen chosen were: Kay Rob- inson, from home room 2169 Alice Fisher, 2175 Pat Meyers, 2185 Marilyn Studebaker, 2203 Velma Clift, 2215 Elizabeth Guiiey, 2273 and Evelyn Wright, 228.

Juniors elected were: Carol Nis- wonger, 117, Virginia Williams, 1165 Janet Daugherty, 1155 Cynthia Buck, 1045 Joyce Pollard, 1103 and M3117 Jane Ryan, 112. Queeri or attendant candidates are: Janet Hanes, 1203 Ann Roberts, 119: Judy Berczelly, 1183 and Joan Stutz, 113. Airmen Visit Kiserr, Demomstrate New Ideas A color cartoon movie on air power and a demonstration of the latest flight clothing was presented yester- day by The Orville and Wilbur Wright Memorial Squadron Air Force Association. - Composed of airmen and people interested in aeronautics, the Wright Memorial Squadron is a national organization which promotes and en- courages interest in flight. The as- sembly presented yesterday is typical of their work. New flight uniforms were demon- strated by an air force pilot who is a veteran of the Korean war. He shot down at least one MIG-15 in combat action. Srs. Choose Namecards A committee of Seniors chose their namecards last Monday, in the audi- torium. Namecards are to be ordered from the Printcraft Company, the same, as last year. Fifty per cent of the cost of cards will go to the class treasury, if or- dered within stipulated time.

BARBARA RYAN '54: Attending the .Journalism convention at the Ohio University with Martha Spitzig for one week was the highlight of this summer. ROBERTA DAILY '56: I spent one week at O'Connor's Cabins at Indian Lake and went swimming every day. VALERIE BRINO '57: This summer I spent one week at Niagara Falls in Canada and a'week in Virginia. I went swimming practically every day. ' BEVERLY BROOKEY '55: I spent one week at Denison University at a Baptist .conference and a week at Ohio Weslyan at a Y-Teen confer- ence. Other than that I loafed. KENNETH DAVENPORT '56: I trav- eled a little this summer. We went to Kentucky and Michigan for two weeks. PAT LEWIS '57: In Michigan, I spent two weeks just swimming, fishing and boat riding. MELVIN SHARP '57: I went to Mich- igan and Canada and came back under the river between Canada and Michigan. 'BEITY MYRICK '56: I went to Park- ersburg, West Virginia, for one glor- ious week and took in all the sights. .ROSEMARY BLUM '54: I spent five weeks on the campus of the North- Junior Achievement Sponsors Assembly Through the movie, Learn By Do- ing, the purpose of Junior Achieve- ment was explained in an assembly held in the aduitorium last Wednes- day. The film explained how one can equip himself for careers in industry and business. Junior Achievement provides young people 15 to 21 years of age with a business experience which will help them achieve success in fu- ture careers. The club is sponsored by business men and industries, and is financed by those interested in establishing an understanding of workmanship among young people. Junior Achievement members handle all management and labor of a business enterprise, under the supervision of an advisor. All-City Dances Start Starting tonight, bi-weekly All- City dances will again resume. Ac- tivities are held in the downtown Y.W.C.A. and last from 8:30 P.M. un- til 11:30. These dances are open to city high school students. Last year Kiser was honored by having Keith Banke chosen president of the dance council. Admission is 50 cents with a Y.W.C.A. membership card. Senior Named Princess Princess Pauline, otherwise known as Pauline Tatone, Kiser senior, spent half of her summer in an exciting beauty contest. Pau.line placed second in the Longo's Spaghetti Queen beauty con- test and won a diamond ring and a gold loving cup with her name en- graved on it. Student Council Installs Fountainsg Various Projects Help Raise Money Four new electric water fountains were installed at Kiser last May through the efforts of the Student Council. Howard Miller, president, HOWIE Photo by Paul Grifly above, is trying out one of the new fountains. Total cost of the fountains was 5608. Although this money came from several sources, the project was pro- moted by last year's Student Council. Money from the Student Council paper drive, helped a great deal to- ward the fountains. I1 1 Two of the fountains are located on the second floor, and two on the first floor. Another fountain, located in the cafeteria was purchased with money from sales tax stamps brought in by the students. Student Council has plans for a variety show to be held in December. Another goal of the Council is to promote an intra-mural basketball team for the boy's gym classes. Kiser's dream of a bronze panther statue, to be placed in the front cam- pus, will be possible soon with the help of this year's Student Council. School Holidays Set There are more holidays planned for the Dayton schools this year than last. Memorial Day which comes on Sunday, May 30, will be celebrated Monday, May 31.

PAGE Two THE KISER PANTHER FRIDAY ocfronsn 91' 19 s 9 9 5 PO 1 0 .Q f X50 tfffvff BY ALENE LAMBERT BARBARA ANN RYAN-Assistant Editor of the Panther keeps Barbara busy most of the time, but she still finds time for outside activities. Barb is historian of the Senior class, social chairman of the Y-Teen Club, of which she was president in her Freshman and Sopho- more years, vice-president of Inter-Club Council, also an organization of the Y.W.C.A., and recently in the B. A. Club. n ' One thousand one hundred and seventeen Mack Ave. is where Bar- bara can be found in her spare UD time, but if you want her, you'd better call He 1649 to see if she's home. Happiest moment in her life was in her Sophomore year when she was chosen Sophomore attendant to the Jr. and Sr. Prom. Outside of dancing, going to the football games, and eating, Bar- bara's hobby is writing letters to Marines. In the summer between her freshman and sophomore years, Barb attended a Y-Teen summer conference at Otterbein College, Westerville, Ohio. In her Junior year she went to Akron, Ohio, to plan the annual state con- ference. Last summer she attended the Journalism University. Barbara was bom in Columbus, lived in Cincinnati and in Indiana before she came to Dayton seven years ago. LEON 0. ROBERTS-Everything happens to Leon in football season. He plays guard on the team and in his sophomore year got to play enough quarters to get his letter. This turned out to be the happiest moment in his life. He lettered last year and is hoping nothing happens to prevent him from 'getting one this year. The biggest disappointment Leon ever had was Kiser not winning the championship last year. If you ever hear anyone yelling third period in the library you can be sure it is Orpha Williams since his favorite pastime is pestering her. Born near Somerset, Ky., May 13, 1935, Leon came to Dayton eleven years ago. Now he lives at 124 Taylor St. and to reach him by telephone, just call He 0026 after 6 o'clock since he has football practice every night after BARBARA Wolfe Studio Workshop at Ohio LEON Wolfe Studio school. il 'i 'A fi' ' 'NW' ..., l ,Il it -,k A it 1 a L a . 15?

About the only thing I can say is, I am a member of the opposite sex. Now that football season is here everybody naturally goes to the game to watch the mighty Panthers roll on. Speaking of football, here is a selected poem you may enjoy. Oh, the ends they crash and the tackles dash And the guards, they submarine. The centers rush and the fullbacks crush And the halfbacks make a scene. But, lo, the wily quarterback Standing all serene Gives the ball to someone else And keeps his jersey clean. The word selected appeared above so I may leave school the latter part of May as scheduled. Signed, AL CATRAZ LUHDZIT ? 1 Mr. Whozit is six feet tall and tilts the scales at 140, and says girls are his hobby. He is a member of the Junior class and has dark 'brown hair and green eyes. The population of Dayton, Ohio, was increased by one on April 29, 1937, when he was born. Whenever you see Tom Schlorman and Ray Robinett, you will probably see Mr. Whozit. His activity period is spent in 117 and after school he's found at 1010 Pleasant Valley Ave- nue. You may reach him by dialing MI 7869. Miss Whozit stands five feet three inches tall and weighs 102, and says eating is her hobby. The Junior class also claims her, and she has dark brown hair and big brown eyes. Virginia Williams and Pat Barton are among her friends. She was bom March 19, 1937, at Steubenville, Ohio. Miss Whozit lives at 125 Proctor Street, and by dialing FU 7535 you can reach her. She spends activity period in 117. Junior Y-Teens, the B.A. Club, and O.E.P. Sorority claim her as a member. You still don't know the Whozits? Look in the ads. The Rockets Red Feather Shot I HOPE ncacr-ics OF Evlnv CITILEN i BY DICK LONGO .Zed 'Mal' '7aop!uf Kiser has never won a sportsmanship trophy in foot- ball. This is our goal this year. We may not get the city championship in football but just as important is the sportsmanship trophy. In previous years we lost the trophy by only one, two or three points. Ten unknown judges have been elected by Robert B. French, Superintendent of Schools. These judges may be your own parents or next door neighbor. The contest will run for eight consecutive week-ends starting Sept. 18th and ending Nov. 14. One thousand points have been given to each school. For every misdemeanor a point will be deducted by each judge witnessing the act. Many people who have previously attended Kiser and quit have no recognition of sportsmanship. Children who haven't yet attended Kiser often run on the field and gallivant around the stadium, and are general pests. Kiser's Student Council is distributing rules to the elementary schools: Howie Miller at McGuffey, Orpha Williams and Barbara Ryan at Webster, Martha Spitzig and Joan Brewer at Allen, Jerry Cline at Central, and Keith Banke at Mad River. We need the trophy. Let's make sure we get it by obeying the sportsmanship rules. A Miss Cellaneou BY JOAN BREWER I often pause and wonder At nature's peculiar ways, For nearly all our terrible weather Comes on holidays. X Gee! Those Troy football players sure were rough! At least Kenny Weese thought so when one of them ripped his pants at the Troy-Kiser football game. Later, Orpha Williams made this remark, Most men lose their shirts, not Kenny, he loses his pants! What's all that noise coming from room 230, fourth period? I might have known it would be Carol Nis- wonger, Carrie Elder, and Ruth Miller, who were ,argu- ing whose eyelashes were the longest.'Solution? The girls promptly got out the tape measure with which to settle their problem. Carol Niswonger came out the winner by Vg of an inch. . Mr. Sparks, Kiser's new typing teacher and also newly married teacher, was telling his fifth period typing class about his wedding, September 26. Later someonex was heard to make the remark, Oh, well, you know what they sayg 'Man is like a worm, he comes along, wiggles a bit, then some chicken gets him'. Also, Keith Banke, trying to act dumb when he saw Mr. Sparks's wedding ring, asked him if it was a fra- ternity ring. Gail Bokoske then said, No, Keith, it isn't a fraternity ring, it's an eternity ring. The lightning bug is pretty But he hasn't any mind. He Ries along through his lifetime With his headlight on behind. v
