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.

THURSDAY, MAY 27, 1954 T H E K I S E R PA N T H E R PAGE FIVE Last Messages Sent To Class Of '5 SPEAKING T0 KEITH BANKE Crightj, Senior class president, about his future is R. O. Wilson, Cleftj Senior Class advisor, while Principal D. L. Sollenberger looks on. iPhoto by Toby Orrj. To the graduating class of 1954: Year after year you pass through our Kiser doors to find your places out in the world-YOU-the con- tnuing line of Seniors graduating from K'ser High School. As you leave, you cast off many of the unpleasant burdens and re- sponsibilities of the past four years. But you are likewise to be separated forever frcm many of the joys and pleasant things of high school days. This is very true of the new world you are entering. All is not fun and pleasure. There will be rugged places, too. We have tried to give you that kind of training at Kiser which will help you to l've happily while as- suming the responsibilities encoun- tered as a useful, contributing citizen. If you are completely successful in adjusting to this new life we are w lling to give you all the credit. If not, will you be fair enough to as- su'ne some of the responsiblity for your diiiiculties? Many of our graduates have brought honor to themselves and to men. Now it is graduation time. Our somewhat small class, numbering 118 will be dispersed never again to function as a unit as it has for the last four years. Midst the confusion and scuffle of graduation, we should take time out to extend our feeling of appreciation to Mr. Sollenberger, Mr. Shannon, Mrs. Pridy, and the faculty. Without their help and understanding we couldn't have advanced these last four rungs of our ladder of education. We also wish to thank Mr. Wilson, our class advfsor, for his much need- ed help and guidance in solving our class problems. Although we will graduate and possibly not see one another for many years, may we still hold in our hearts the feeling of respect and friendliness which was ever present in our class. Best of luck to all of you. KEITH BANKE President of the class of 1954 CONGRATULATIONS TO uation. Let it be only the first of many successful accomplishments to be attained in the coming years. Your graduating from high school should be very gratifying to you and your parents. You have worked hard and deserve any commendaiions com- ing your way. Kiser High School is proud of you. We know that you will continue to reiiect credit on the school award'ng you your d'plomas. It has been a pleasure being your class advisor. My assignment has been made easier by your willingness to work and the co-operation of your well-chosen class officers. Your presence here will be missed but I believe that the fine example you have set will be followed by classes of future years. In that you can take a measure of satisfaction for having done the things that were right and honorable. We look for- ward to seeing you from time to time when you return to visit us. We wish you the best of everything that life can offer. Sincerely, R. O.
