116 Seniors s
Receive D
iplom
as
This year’s graduating class, the
largest in the history of the school,
numbers 116 pupils. Three mem
bers of the class completed their
credits in January with the close
of the first semester. Three more
expect to finish at the close of sum
mer school.
Next year’s class will approxi
mate 150 pupils. The 1943 class
will number over 180 pupils. The
1944 graduating class — this year’s
Freshmen group — will be well
over 200 students.
When the 1944 class joins the
ranks of the alumni, the “old grads”
will then number nearly 1000, and
graduates of N.T.H.S. will be found
far and wide, enrolled in all walks
of life.
NTHS Rates High With
State Department
Following his visit to our school
early in May, Dr. P. E. Belting,
Assistant Superintendent of Public
Instruction of the State of Illinois,
submitted a letter to Supt. R. E.
Cotanche, in part, as follows : “The
School Board, the Superintendent,
and the teachers are to be congrat
ulated on the great improvement
that has been made in the Niles
Township High School”.
NTHS Receives
North Central Award
The Niles Township High School,
under date of April 25, 1941, has
again been placed on the list of
secondary schools approved by the
North Central Association of Col
leges and Secondary Schools.
This recognition, the highest
recognition granted to any high
school, permits all pupils, accepted
by any college or university, to en
roll without entrance examinations.

This year the beginning Journal

members of its staff. These are:
Sal Rizzo, who contributed to
“Printers’ Devils,” Jane Comstock
and Norma Delfino, who wrote
“The Cat’s Meow,” and feature
stories; and Betty Kelly who wrote
“Platter Chatter” and poetry. Who
knows, perhaps some of these
pupils will be great Journalists
someday ?
Senior Cabinet
There was really a story behind
the minutes of the Senior Cabinet
meetings. You don’t think the
meetings went off as smoothly as
those minutes read, do you? Oh,
n o! It took the Cabinet three meet
ings to decide on the graduation
exercises. Remarks flew so fast
and furiously that Ben Domas,
president, has a hard time keeping
the meeting in order; and Sue
Schaeffer, secretary, an even more
difficult time jotting down the
minutes.
Each senior Home Room was
represented in the Cabinet by four
members. Other officers w ere: Bob
Reiland, vice president, and Betty
Kelly, treasurer. The cabinet plan
ned many important activities this
year for the seniors, such as: the
senior picnic, graduation announce
ments, and the senior breakfast.

To Mother From Daughter
Dear Mom and Dad,
I ’m all alone now in my room.
I t ’s very quiet out; the sun is ju st
sinking behind the trees. You are
downstairs rushing around a little
excited at having your daughter
graduate ,and you are very happy
and proud. I can see it in your eyes.
Dad. will be home in a few min
utes; we’ll eat, and then— . The
reason I ’m writing this is because
I was ju st a little bit restless and
a little afraid. But now, as I pour
my thoughts out to you, I lose that
restlessness and that funny feeling
in the bottom of my stomach, be
cause I think of you two to whom
I have always been able to turn.
I think of you as people who have
fed me, clothed me, brought me up
to be something in your eyes that
you always wanted me to be. And
most of all you’ve given me every
bit of love you have ever possessed.
And now, — I ’m not a baby any
more. I ’ve grown up and I hope
I’m half of what you wanted me
to be, because you’ve worked so
hard. And I have tried, you know
that. I haven’t been on the honor
roll ,and I won’t be the most out
standing graduate this evening,
but I have tried, and that’s what
I want you to know.
I ju st heard dad come in and
you called me to come down to
dinner. I love that tinge of excite
ment in your voice, Mom dear. Now
that funny feeling is coming back,
but before I close, I want you to
know, you and dad, that I ’ll al
ways think of you as the grandest
people in the world. It was you
two who made sacrifices for me so
that I could have the best. Now’
it’s my turn to help you — and I
will. W ait and see — .
Your loving daughter— ,

TO THE SENIORS!
Four years pass in tribulation,
Striving for an education.

Which includes all information,
Came those long examinations.
Teachers harped on demonstra

Calculations and equations,
Estimations and translations,
Organizations, presentations,
Illustrations, applications,
Exploration, explanation,
All these things called education.
Four years pass in desperation.
This year is the termination
Of your mental cultivation.

Seniors, Do You Remember
Breakfast Closes
as the Years Pass in Review? Senior Activities
Do you remember, Senior, how
terrified we were our first day at
high school? And how we waded
through hoards of grade school
kids to find our new classes at Lin
coln School? Remember our com
munity lockers ? Of course you
couldn’t have forgotten the infan
tile paralysis epidemic that gave us
a week’s vacation so soon after
school began.
In our first year the new school
was still in the blueprint stage. But
we didn’t mind that because we had
such diversions as the first Hobo
Day and the spring play, “Another
Spring,” to keep us happy. As
freshmen we girls became charter
members of the G.A.A. Freshmansophomore shift, twelve o’clock to
four-thirty, was a great temptation
to our keeping late hours. G.A.A.
rules suffered more than once!
Then do you remember how the
excitement of moving into the new
building completely overshadowed
the worry and gloom of mid-year
exams ? With the new location
came those new hours, nine to twofifteen, that were so super. Anoth
er innovation of our sophomore
year was the new Student Faculty
Forum which had much to say in
school affairs. Then we had our
first big chance to sponsor a social
activity— the Sophomore Snowball
Dance.
But, you remember, it was our
junior year that really found us in
the swing of things. We joined the
See Chicago Club and saw China
town, Maxwell Street, and the Tri
bune Building. We extended Chi
cago a little and took in Washing
ton, D. C. We also gave our atten
tion to the Spanish Fiesta, the
school’s first international night,
and to the Egyptian W ater Carni
val, and to “What a Life.”
And girls, will you ever forget
La Femme Hop which gave us our
first chance to escort the man of
our dreams? We even had our
Bonnie pictured in the NileHiLite,
our paper then ju st five issues old,
dragging off Jonnie as unwilling
(?) quarry.
Then you remember that all-im
portant event of any year, the Jun
ior Prom. We girls put aside our
saddle shoes and sloppy Joes to
blossom forth in billowy gowns.
You boys splashed on extra doses
of hair tonic in vain efforts to make
your heinies sprout. It was our
glamour evening, for sure!
We all felt pretty big being Sen
iors last fall. Preparations for col
lege and job hunting were serious
problems. Memories from the light
er side include that melodrama at
the Senior Party which was funny
enough to make Plitler forget Hess.
Then the football skit at the Spin
sters’ Skip with the girls decked
out in the football team’s fall en
sembles was pure panic. Trips to
the County Jail, the Garfield Park
Conservatory, Springfield, and Hull
House were events on the See Chi
cago calendar. 'Water Carnival
went Aztec. With “Don’t Take my
Penny” the curtain fell on the final
performance of many seniors.
Forgetting some of the social
whirl for a moment, think back
over the innovations of this year.
(You don’t want to think tonight?
Well, all right, since it’s graduation
we’ll think for you.) This year
saw : a new size for the NileHiLite,
chimes to introduce announce
ments, the new Pep Club, the be
ginning of the All Girl Orchestra,
new uniforms for the band, twirlers
and twirling coming to the fore,
synchronized swimming, and an ex
change assembly. See? Really a
lot when you think about it.
And now, if we may do so with
out seeming sentimental, we would
like to wish that our future will
have as many happy memories and
bring as many good friends as these
four years of high school did.
The cafeteria was the scene on
Wednesday morning, June 11, of
the last meeting of the Senior class
before Commencement. The occa
sion was the Senior Breakfast.
Over their last cups of coffee,
(or was it cocoa) these near-alumni listened to various members of
their class give their final words
of encouragement in prophecy of
better days to come. The Class
W ill also had its place in the pro
gram. Then, too, there were ath
letic awards, not previously pre
sented, honorable mention awards,
and also certificates for both schol
arship and attendance.
A fter the breakfast came the is
suance of the ea,ps and gowns which
was followed by the first of the
two Commencement Tèhèarsals, one
also scheduled for Thursday morn
ing.
Commencement days-- are busy
days.

Miss Line, Home Economics in

announces to all concerned, are

The 1941 yearbook, differing con

much praise from its subscribers.
To Edith Luxem, chairman of the
Committee composed of members
of the Senior English classes, must
go much of this favorable com
mendation. It was Edith who su
pervised the work of thé group,
under the direction and guidance of
Miss Berry. I t was her particular
task to not only plan the contents
of each page in the year book, but
to review the written materials of
each member of the group, and
later to proofread the printed copy.
We say to you, Edith, “Well
done.”
