The program will include the girls’ chorus, the girls’ sextet, the mixed chorus, the boys’ octet, and the fresh­ man chorus. These groups will offer among their selections “I Love A Parade,” “The Ramparts We Watch,” “Oelito Lindo,” “Semper Paratus,” and two of Romberg’s compositions, “Serenade,” and “Softly, As a Moraing Sunrise.” The band will play the march “Fame and Fortune,” a novelty trombone and piccolo duet, “The Elephant and the F ly , ” and an overture, “ The Calip of Bagdad.” The band will also feature a trombone solo by Betty Stielow and a flute solo by Harriet Hart. The orchestra will offer “Titus Ov­ ertime” by Mozart and a Strauss Waltz, “Southern Roses.” The freshman band will also par­ ticipate in the program playing “The Yankee March,” and the overture “Young America.” As a final feature the band and choral groups will combine and the audience will be invited to join in the finale. Tickets for the concert will be on sale in the school cafeterias beginning April 26. They may also be ordered from students in the music depart­ ment. The price, including tax, is 40c for adults and 28c for students and children. Proceeds will be used for equipment and supplies in the music department. * cessful water carnival yet as present­ ed in the school natatorium. This year it was a pageant of India, deal­ ing with the glorious adventures of Richard Haliburton. The carnival was based on the visit of Richard Haliburton, played by Jack Fredericks, to the resplendent Taj Mahal and his vision of the re-incarnation of the beautiful princess, Mumtaz Mahal, played by Peggy Kansteiner. The program was made up of ten different swimming numbers. They were; “Song of India,” “Haliburton’s Swim in the Reflection Pool,” “Mumtaz Mahal and Her Slaves,” “Re-in­ carnation,” “Floating Fantasy,” “Sil­ ver Silhouettes,” “Sacred Cow of In­ dia,” “Shadow and Substance,” “Rip­ pling Reflections,” and the finale, “Dawn.” One of the highlights is the number “The Sacred Cow of India.” This is the comedy contribution handled by Jack Reiland and Frank Boufford', who naturally portray the cow. There is even a Gremlin played by Dick Buchen who manages to bring the act to an end with a splash. The whole carnival was under the direction of Miss Schafer who has suc­ ceeded in presenting the best and most beautiful carnival Nilehi has ever had. The janitors .should also receive a vote of thanks for the work they have done. This carnival is well worth the work put into it by students and teachers and was appreciated by the spectators judging from the full house at both performances. It will be presented to­ night and tomorrow night.

An original playlet written by Mary Jane Nelson and entitled “Out of this World” was presented, as were sev­ eral other interesting skits and char­ acterizations written by Pat Canty, Marilyn Tilton, Laura Breckinridge, and June Ohlson. These originals were exceptionally good and were very well presented. In addition a demonstration in faint­ ing and being shot was given by mem­ bers of the advanced dramatics class. This was followed by a scene from “The Old Maid” with very profes­ sional acting done by Helen Kuehne and Elizabeth Krysher. Mrs. Esch and the dramatics depart­ ment deserve a great deal of praise for producing such enjoyable and in­ teresting programs — may there be more of them. \ Freshmen Champs [ Challenge Sophs J On Friday, April 2, one of our first spelling bees was held at N.T.H.S. Twenty-five words were dictated to the freshman class over the loud speaker. The following are some of the words picked from the list, and as can be seen they were not very easy; bivouac, trigonometry, meteor­ ologist, reconnoiter, guerrilla and cal­ listhenics. As a result, the ten best spellers of the freshman class were found. These were: Bill Hardinberg — 23 right, John Rufenberg — 23 right, Ellen Anderson — 22 right, Joan Flavin 22 right, Earl Krmicels — 21 right, Don Nepstad — 20 right, Kathyrn Monahan — 19 right, Barbara H a l l 19 right, George Lund — 18 right, Alison Ash — 18 right. The freshman class has now chal­ lenged the sophomores to a spelling bee which will be held on April 16. Go to it sophomores, and try and beat some of those scores. L. ttj | i r 1 r �File Fantasy NIBLETS It was only a year ago that I joined in the holy bonds of matrimony. My wife was a Feher “ oung thing, but I ’m sorry to say she was not very Wise. In fact she was rather a halfWitte and to top it all off she was Lacy. Her Gohl in life had been to marry a musician like Schubert or Wagner so she could sit around and Strum on her guitar. But her music was strict­ ly off the Cobb so by Farce I made her stop. This made hei very Gross anu she refused to Cook my meals or iStritch up my clothes any Moore. Her heart was very Cole. T Each Day I began to look more Coursey, but when I said “Lutz make up,” she only said “Neutz” and became Coulter. It was just like living with an ice Berg. One night when I drove up to the nouse in my one horse Shay, (my Kadlec had joined the scrapdrive) .vife greeted me with open arms. This Couple of the week: Kay Smith, Norris Mullendore. Song of the week: It Can’t Be Wrong. Sight of the week: Jack Kittredge and Jim Rau — not pushing girls around! Saying of the week: dit dit da dit da, etc. Now, with one night of the water carnival safely behind us — ain’t it swell ? No, those kids you hear spouting “dit dit da” aren’t stuttering. I t ’s the Morse code and it’s really taken hold of Nilehi. Nilehi has it’s own superman, viz— one blond junior recuperates in a big hurry to get out for baseball practice after school. Or was it those grades coming out, Rollie? We congratulate home room 210 on 100% participation in defense stamp sales (what, again). What’s holding up the rest of the home rooms? Upon seeing upper class women swooning in the halls, one unknowing frosh asked “W hy?” But then, she hadn’t seen Bill Stevens ( ’41) in his uniform! The Staff wishes to apologize to Jack Price and Bob Ellis. We realize, now, that they weren’t begging to get in, they were telling them! Homeroom 206 should be congratu­ lated on their wonderful will power (or is it something else?) Last week Miss Harbert took over for Miss Kranz. Then she asked the homeroom to comment on the assembly situation, not a word was uttered. made me feel very good. (I didn’t Know sue was trying to strangle me.) Then we Stoll into the dining room and she fed me pickled pig’s Foote and Canty with Milz to wash 't down. After I had finished this concoction, L turned slightly Green and was stricken with horrible heart Burns. Quick like a bunny I took some Ep­ son salts. When the little woman saw I had paid the Price for my folly, she gave me a Kish and said she didn’t mean to do me any real Harms. Now I am a Neumann. OHLSON PUZZLER Mr. Ohlson comes forth and gives us another problem for you puzzle fiends. This weeks rendition is a quar­ ter hour special, another code-type example. Each “X ” stands for a digit (1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 0) in this long division problem. Question: What digits go in the “X ” positions to make the long division bona fide? XX8XX XXX |xxxxxxxx XXX xxxx XXX xxxx xxxx No guessing necessary; stem logic will lead you to the correct solution. Fifteen minutes is considered good time. The answer to last weeks puzzle is, nine to the power, nine to the ninth power. THIS N' THAT Mr. Blanke’s English class, eighth period, set up an awful barrage of objections after being accused of put­ ting a certain suspicious sign in front of his desk. Those innocent angels? Oh — the shame of it! During a band practice last week Rosemary Racine issued forth a shout that shook the rafters so to speak. It seems Jim Rau was standing at the window intently watching her beat the drum. Fortunately her shriek blended with the musie (the cymbals c l a s h e d ju st as she opened her mouth)! A few of the students in art major, fourth period, have been doing quite well with their sculpturing. Ah — a rt!!! There must be some explanation for the innocent looking people who in­ vade the detention period! ? Editorial Glory to Old Glory In which way can we show greater respect to our country than through respect for our country’s flag? Isn’t the flag the symbol of our country? Doesn’t the flag stand for the beliefs, the ideals of this nation? It seems that in times of unrest such as these, when the liberties of America are endangered, the flag would have an even greater meaning. That flag is being carried to every continent in the world, by the men who would perish that the ideals for which it stands shall not die. The next time the order “Color Guard, Attention” rings in your ears, rise promptly, hands at sides, heads up, eyes straight ahead. Think of that flag flying at the head of armies in Africa, Europe, Asia, flying in the air, on the land, on the sea; think of men dying for its survival and be proud that that flag is yours. When we think in those terms ob­ serve these rules: 1. During the Pledge of Allegiance the hand should be placed over the heart and held there until the last word is completed. Hand should then be placed at the side. 2. Remain standing during the sing­ ing of the Star Spangled Banner and until the order is given “Color Guard, dismissed!” 3. At the close of the performance stand and come to attention when or­ der is given “Color Guard, attention!” Remain at attention until the order is given “Color Guard, Dismissed!” After this when the red, white and blue passes by let there be pride in your heart and may you hear the 114,311,000 other cries of AMERICA WE SALUTE YOU! wileHI u t t The NileHilite is edited, published, and printed bi-monthly by the stu­ dents of Niles Township High School, Skokie, Illinois.

Don’t do any hard work or go on late dates because Mr. Isaacson says that the obstacle course will be run im­ mediately following the spring vaca­ tion. Everyone will need all the en­ ergy they can store up. However if you are the energetic type there is a harder way besides resting in which you can become physically fit to stand the strain of the Obstacle Course.
