BY JOAN BREWER I Q y i,, ,-. i q z : BY BARBARA BATES Q' ' ' f N . Another school year-'S over, 'J' 455,99 QUESTION: What does graduation And vacation time is here, mean t0 YUU? But il' you're like myself, I know, You'll see me, come next year. Oh, no, not another phantom! But yes, or so it seems, from a note I received. It read: We believe that in the cafeteria they should serve steak, ham, and mush- rooms! Signed, Yours till steak is served, The Phantom. Hum! I wonder if the phantom ever eats out and has to pay for it! Say! Have you heard the good news? Another Kiser student, Eileen Barnes, is teaching-not school, but ballet and tap dancing in a studio. Incidentally, Eileen will be in charge of a dance revue at the Art Institute, June 27. Let's help Eileen boost the ticket sales! Would the student driving the red Oldsmobile with the license number 643 TV please move the car? Do any of you Juniors and Seniors remember hearing this message come over the P.A. system at the Junior-Senior Farewell? It seems some boys from Fairview decided to move a No Parking sign in front of Bob and Bill Heerman's car. So they were asked to move the car. In fact, he even got a ticket. However, it was a joke and he didn't have to pay a fine! 4at!4, Qaffltiana 'n' Zlaait BY TED STRADER WHAT A CROP! No, I don't mean Liberace's hair. tNor do I mean Farmer Thies' pasture.J I'm referring to the lovely crop of dandelions in Kiser's front lawn. But whether or not there are dandelions or weeds, we all can help improve the lawn by walking on the sidewalks. I HOPE that everyone, esp:3c'ally the Seniors, had :1 good time at the Jr.-Sr. Prom. And I want to thank all the fellows who laid oil the bottle while at the dance. PLANNING TO GO to college? Il' so, and if there's a chance you'll go to Harvard, start now to save. What I mean is that il you want to be in style start now to save your old white bucks. I've found out from a dependable source that one of the latest fads at Harvard is wearing dirty white bucks. In fact, the students wear them around in their rooms until they're filthy enough to wear to school. However, not just Harvard has gone so'led-shoe-crazy. Princeton has caught on, too. One shoe store there even has some kind of machine which grinds dirt into new white bucks if the pur- chaser desires. BY THE LOOKS of his hair, we had a Mohawk in the sophomore class. ACCORDING TO internationally-known, much dcc- orated Jacqueline Cochran tSupersonic Jackieb, by 1969 y0u'll be flying via rocket plane, and by 2000 you'll be using man-made satellites as jumplng-oil places for jaunts into space. She predicts an airborne tomorrow in an interesting interview in May's Seven- teen . SINCE THIS IS the last Fads, Facts, and Fashi'ns, column that I'll be writing for The Kiser Panther, I want to say that I hope you've enjoyed these little bits of nothing just half as much as I've enjoyed writing them. There are miracles, magic, and deeds I could ment'on. There are things that are saved by an ounce ol' pre- vention. But nothing's of use, You've tied your own noose, When you fail to show up in detention. Published bi-weekly by the Journalism Class and printed by the Graphic Arts Department of Kiser High School.

CLASS OI' ,NS f X Dux l.on7o'5'l Is May 28th Your Only Goal? This, being the end of the school year, gives us an opportunity to look back and evaluate the merits of the last year's work. Being only human, we have all made mistakes. The making of mistakes is important. But more important is just how much our mistakes have taught us. Some of us as Seniors have failed to really accomplish anything that is of any significance. Coming to school, doing just enough to get by, and going home has made a life of dull doings with only one goal in sight, grad- uation. To these persons graduation in itself is an end. After becoming liberated from the bonds of a seemingly endless toil they venture onward and announce to the world that they are graduates. These individuals are at a loss for their horizon is not high enough to equal their needs. Everyone should take advantage of his opportunities and look at grad- uation as a step toward maturity. Then this lack of interest can be licked. Use graduation not as an end in itself but as a means to an end. In our next adventure in life, whatever it may be, let's try to do our very best. Then let us rededicate our- selves toward trying to inspire others to take advan- tage of available opportunities and with this, aim for higher ideals. Remember: Life is only as good as you make it. No one can make more of you than yourself. I told the Reverend not to buy that second-hand car . . . he doesnlt have the vocabulary to run it. Praise 'pears to be something a person tells you about yourself that you've suspected all along. The fella that invented the alarm clock probably did the most to arouse the working classes. JOY HUGHES: Graduation to me seems like a new world opening up around us, a bigger one with a lot of hard work ahead of us. JOHN GUFFEY: To me, graduation is one of my greatest achievements and will be a big help in obtaining my goal in life. ANN MCLAURIN: Graduation is to me the completion of 12 years which will help to determine a great deal of what I will make of myself in the future. ELMEDA YOUNG: It means that I will be one happy girl May 28. JOYCE ISAACS: To me graduation means a reward after 12 long years of hard work. DELORES SMITH: Graduation is an event which I will always remem- ber because of the years it has taken to obtain the memory. DORIS ROBERDS: The diploma is First, after that there is another bridge, I guess I'1l do what's left- 'Cross Over It '. JUDY TOOTLE: To me, graduation means that I have achieved and ac- complished something and done it to the best of my ability. It means a day of sorrow and a day of gladness-a day I will never forget. MARY POGUE: Graduation means that I have fulfilled the wish of some- one very dear to me. The diploma is a symbol of the work I have clone and friends I have made at Kiser. SHIRLEY MANKAT: To me grad- uation means the end of many long and happy years, which I will look back upon and always remember. MARY SHIRLEY: To me gradua- tion means that I have proved to myself that I could graduate and look forward to making something of myself. BARBARA RYAN: Graduation is the ending of one phase of l'fe and the beginning of another. I've gotten a lot out of school and itys meant a lot to me. But remember, classmates of '54: I'll see you in five years at the reunion. CHRISOULA PANAYIOTU: Gradu- ation will be one of my happiest days, but one of my saddest too. I will be leaving all my friends and won't see them for a long time. JERRY CLINE: To me graduation is the achievement of 12 years of hard school work. In later years, though, we will look back on our school days and remember that the work really wasn't so hard after all. JANET EDGAR: It means to me that I have completed 12 years of hard work to get my diploma. It is also an event I will always remem- ber because of all the good times I have had. JANET HANES: I have been look- ing forward to graduation for 12 years. To me it means that I am on my own to do the very best I can in any occupation I may choose.

By care- fully s'udying the clues that were provided from time to time in 'THE Krsna PANTHER he carefully tracked down the writer known only as Al Catraz. According to the inspector, the clue that threw him off was the one that said he was a Junior and not a Senor. By putting two and two to- gether he dscovered that Al meant that he was named after his father, thus making him a junior. By taking prints of everyone's little toe in journalism proved to be another feather in his cap. Upon the discovery that Al had moved to the outskirts of town cleared up the statement that he watched his favorite farmer plow- 'ng. This proved to be just a neigh- bor. At a press conference Al Catraz, who goes by the real name of Paul Griffy, said, I kinda hated to see the because it meant that I inspector would no longer be able to mystify the Kiser student body. When asked the question what was the funniest thing that happened while writing this column, Paul answered Lis- tening to Hank , Salty, Bruno, and H tell me how they figured the identity of Al Cat.raz to be Dick Longo.
