From the looks of it they’re doing a good job. No more do teachers, students, and visitors see paper strewn all over the floor, or tables littered with trays and dishes. The students are now crying to win a flag for their table. If a table has an E every day it wins a flag. An E is won by having a clean table and door and chairs pushed in around the table. Tables which won flags the week of the 11th to the 15th are: 5th period, West, row II, tables 3,4; 7th period, West, row II, tables 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10,—East, row I, table 6. The boys seem more enthusias­ tic about it than the girls. One senior boy, who otherwise would never have seen a piece of paper on the floor, stopped to pick it up just because he has part in the project. During 7th period, the 6th table, 2nd row, East side, in charge of Don Sandin, has been beautifully decor­ ated and taken care of. A lovely green and white tablecloth adorns th e.tab le with candles and napkins neatly placed in it. The boys are duly proud of . them­ selves. But, sorry to say, not all the tab­ les are like that. There is a necessity for giving traffic tickets on which fines are placed. These tickets are given for dirty tables, for dishes left on tables, for paper on floors, and for breaking traffic lines, to remind the pupil to do right the next time. The seniors who, under Miss H arbert’s care, have brought this won­ derful change to the cafeteria are as fol­ lows: Traffic: F. Bernard, E. Reimann, D. Christiansen, C. Olson, R. R oe^^r, D.

Yes, according to the latest reports, Kitty Korner still rates high, so the NileHiLite staff plans to live up to its expectations again this year, and give you the news, views and outlooks on the latest gossip. For instance, a certain senior gave a very good impression of a girl standing on a street corner, in fact, it was excep­ tionally typical.- How do you' know, Betty? Couple of the week - are you kidding? There’s a man shortage. Song of the week - School Days. Saying of the week - Who’s little sis­ ter is that?..

Their replies have been omitted for ob­ vious reasons. What’s all this we hear about Lorelie Meilicke going out with Dan Mack on his last furlough? Is it just a rumor or what, Lorelie?

Much as the hotel hated to lose her, NileHi would have missed her more, for where would the girl’s Gym classes be without her quips and puns. Bad as some of them are (?). The summer was not all work.

According to the Trojans of NileHi, what does it mean? To be truthful, not very much! In fact, an exact definition is nicely summed up for about half of the students as a big joke. People complain about school being a bore and a waste of time, but have you ever stopped to consider that it’s up to you to make your school a place to be proud of and a place to have a good time with your friends. It’s up to you to make your school a well known, res­ pected one. It's up to you, and you alone to back school activities with your hon­ est best. Our football season is starting now. It’s going to take a lot of hard work on the p art of the players, but it is also going to take our help. They need a lot of cheering and enthusiasm to back them up. It is up to us. We can make NileHi an outstanding school. Let’s all get to­ gether and do it. Let’s be a twelfth player. Season's Prospects Not Bright; Team Light When the Trojans trot out onto the field to meet their first 1944 opponents, they will be entering one of their tough­ est seasons. The loss of all but five lettermen makes the season’s prospects very undecided. The loss by graduation and transfer of such fellows as Jack Harrer, Chuck Liebrandt, Fritzy Tolzein and Jack Freder­ icks will deprive the Trojans of much of their power and punch of last year. The loss of twenty lettermen will be keenly felt. The five returning lettermen who will form the. nucleus of this year's team a re : Jim Harrer, tackle; Bob Roman and Art Schmidt, ends; Don Christiansen and Ed Dean, backs. Minor lettermen from last year include such prospects as Jim Ehmer, George Riha, Lou Nachbauter, Bob Marquette, Bob Doetsch, and Fred Bernard. Everything considered the Trojans should not have such a bad season; but Coach Isaacson takes the gdoomy side stating, quote ;“I would consider it a suc­ cessful season if we scored but one touch­ down.” Touch ball organized Touchball teams have been organized for intramural contests which will run for six weeks, beginning with the third week of September. Mr. Isaacson has garnered nearly six­ ty teams from his physical education classes in order to hold these games. In the past, the boys have enjoyed touchball a great deal. After an invigorating sprint around the obstacle course the boys will begin play to determine the best team in the school when the six weeks are up. From Now On Fri. Sept. 29 Lake Forest Fri. Oct.

September 22, against Evanston’s second .string and while they were downed 7 -0 the game gave some promise for future N.T.H.S. games. Operating almost exclusively from a T, Niles gave some signs of an offensive threat if they can omit a few of the many fumbles displayed in F ri­ day’s encounter and also get their as­ signments down pat. The line didn’t ap­ pear too strong, although Dean and Doetsch turned in some fine line backing. The loss of practically all of last year’s great team forced Coach Isaacson to field a somewhat green eleven. Niles received the kickoff and prom­ ptly fumbled the ball away to Evanston on the first play from scrimmage. Evan­ ston’s attack bogged down and Niles took over on their own 18. It was here that some good ball carrying was turn­ ed in by F arr and Alterini which moved the ball to Evanston’s 25 yard line in 9 plays, a total of 58 yards. Niles was then penalized 5 yards and could never make it up and lost the ball to the Wildkits on downs. Evanston showed a lot of run­ ning ability in the second quarter but could not threaten. The half ended in a scoreless deadlock. In the 3rd quarter Riha and Christen­ sen lead a drive which wa|s halted on Evanston’s 40 due to a fumble. Evanston could make no progress but their punt was blocked by Peschke and Dean recovered for Niles. The Trojans once more lost an opportunity because of another fumble which the Kits fell on. Driving from Niles 45, the Evanstonians scored in 10 plays, most of which were off the tackles. Wensel dived over from the 3 yard line and Carlson converted. In the last period Evanston recovered another Trojan fumble but couldn’t get past the Niles 20, losing the ball on downs. Niles was forced to punt and from then on couldn’t get their hands on the ball as the game ended with Evan­ ston trying to score from within Niles 10 yard line. After the game the entire squad was invited to witness Northwest­ ern trample DePauw, 62 - 0, at Dyche Stadium. Lineups Hansen L. E. Roman Countryman L. T. H arrer Bronson L. G. Stief Edwards (capt.)
