The occasion was the father and son night held for the members of the football squads. - Jack was chosen by his team mates as the outstand­ ing player and honorary captain of the squad. Films of Northwestern Universi­ ty touchdown plays and colored films of our Homecoming were shown. Between the showing of the films Messrs Isaacson, Cotanche, Kent, Galitz, and Taylor suc­ ceeded in swelling a few chests by praising the spirit, courage, and stamina of the teams. After naming the letter winners, NileHi’s guests were treated to a buffet supper in the cafeteria. November 16, 1941 CALENDAR Nov. 18 - Know Your School Pro­ gram. Foreign Language Dept. 8:00 P.

Book Week and National Education Week Observed by School Keeping pace with tradition — and one of our very few, by the way — NTHS has again observed Book Week. During the past week the library has been quite gay — color fully deorated by the attractive bulletin boards publicizing popular books. A feature of the week was the student poster contest, open to all those interested. Tonight the con­ test closes, and early next week the winner will be annuonced. The win­ ner will receive the book of his choice as the prize. Also during this week our school observed National Education Week. June Berg began the week with an announcement explaining the pro­ gram for the following days. A panel disussion on “ civil liberties in a Democracy” was broadcast on Wednesday. Mardy McKeever gave a talk on “ Books in Democracy.” GIVEThe Red Cross Needs Your H elp Have you contributed to the Red Cross ? This year the Red Cross is facing the greatest problem in its history. Over 10,000,000 children in the con­ quered nations of Europe are fac­ ing starvation and intense suffer­ ing. To meet this great problem the Red Cross needs your support more now than ever before.

The freshman knows he doesn’t know. The senior thinks he does know. Joan Blameuser, junior: The freshmen look like sheep running loose in a pasture. Fred Epson, sophomore: The best way to tell is that the senior acts like an educated dunce, and the freshman like an uneducated dunce.

Page 3 PoliticiansIn the Making There has been much political discussion in Miss Harbert’s Prob­ lems classes lately as a vigorous presidential campaign has been in progress. A registration, using facsimiles of official forms, preceded the pri­ mary election, during which several members o f the class were ungrace­ fully assisted from the polls for in­ toxication, buying votes, and en­ gaging in other illegal practices. After the ballots of the final elec­ tion were counted, only five of them were bad. To complete the scene, there were judges, committees, policemen, watchers, speakers, and all others essential to the offical conduction of an election.

Can a team which has depended on indi­ vidual stars maintain the same record when those stars are gone? What are the chances of Mr. Galitz’s Varsity? How does Mr. Kent’s Junior Varsity shape up? In spite of the fact that only two major lettermen, Domas and Wil­ liams, are returning, the Trojan Varsity will be stronger defensively than last year. The loss of Boyk with his 231 points may lower the point column but good teamwork and passing can make up for his absence. An encouraging note was seen in the driving offensives the Trojans showed against North­ brook and Zion Twp. High School in recent scrimmages. Off the rec­ ord, the Varsity has one of the best chances in the Conference to cop the crown. Aspirants for the forward jobs are Domas, Podraza and Jarrett. Thulstrup and Taylor are vieing for the center post and Peterson, Wil­ liams and Anderson are after the guard assignments. The Junior Varsity is as strong in its department as the Varsity, standing an excellent chance of taking the J. V. title. Some of the outstanding candidates for regular positions are Carroll and Car Domas as forwards, Weldon at guard, and Glauner at center. Mr. Isaacson’s frosh squad, al­ though inexperienced, has speed and power and should pick up the majority of its games this year. Some of the sixteen boys compris­ ing the team are: Gockenbach, Meyer, and Cooke, forwards; Leibrandt, center; Poehlman, Harrer, Grant and Kuhn, guards. The Varsity and J. V. teams open the practice schedule on Nov. 20 with two games at Evanston. On Nov. 23, New Trier, whom we beat last year, comes to our floor for two games.

N o v e m b e r 15, 1940 Six Trojans Play Last Football Game NileHi Trojans closed their foot­ ball season by dropping a tightly fought game to a spirited Arlington Heights squad on November 2-. A highly excited Homecoming crowd at the Cardinal stronghold saw six Trojan seniors finish their high school playing days in a disappoint­ ing 6-0 defeat. The fact that only six regulars are graduating and a good Fresh­ man squad coming up has stimu­ lated the enthusiasm of the coaches in next year’s Varsity. Jack Heiniger, senior, proved that he is one of the best running backs in the conference with his off-tackle slants and sweeping end runs. The game, during the first three Ed Heinz Leads periods, was as interesting as a fan Boy Bowlers could wish; Heiniger’s beautiful The boys weekly bowling league punts dismissing any Arlington completed its fifth week of compe­ threats.
