Foreign Language
Xmas Party Fun
“It was wonderful!” These few words
reflect the typical opinion of those who
were present at the Foreign Language
Club party, which was held on Tuesday,
December 12, in the assembly room.
The German class sang three songs.
They were “Oh du Froehliche”, a popular
German church song, “Vom Himmel
Hach”, a prominent song in the German
Lutheran Church, and “Ihr Kinderlein
Kommet”, a child’s song. Students of
this language then supplied an innova
tion at the party in the form of a^
which played fo ur popular CBrrm
Christmas melodies arranged Ik till
members themselves. Herbert JAoscI
played the trombone,' Stanley Martin^
alto saxaphone, Herbert Behrj
clarinet, and Louis Nachbauei

The Latin contribution to the success
of the party was» a two act play, showing
the similarities between Christmas todaj
and the Roman Saturnalia. John Barks

Christm as Brings Good Cheer —And Hints
Christmas Thoughts
What do you think of when Christmas
comes ?
Of presents of trains, dolls or drums?
Or do you think of mistletoe,
And of girls and of lights, low?
Or do you think of a Christmas tree?
And of Santa who you will see,
Who’ll bring you presents all so neat
But if you’re bad, they won’t be so sweet
I always think of snow and fun
In the snow I love to run
But when the morning’s sun goes down
I turn serene and do not clown
And be a little reverent, too!
Because the Lord wants me to
Remember Him and be sure to see
Without Him, Christmas would not be.

Little bankroll ere we part,
Let me press you to my heart,
All month long I worked for you,

You and I will go away,
To some gay and festive spot,
I’ll return and you will not.

“The Night of January Sixteenth” is
the name of the play that was given by
the Leyden Community High School on
November 17 and 18. It was the story of
a girl being held for the murder of her
employer.
I’ll Always Remember—
Of course I’ll wait,
It won’t be long —
Perhaps a year or two.
Our Love is sweet
And much too strong
To vanish with the dew.
I’ll wait for you
And write to you
To say, Pm still the same.
I’ll write real soon:
Where is your camp,
And dear—what is your name?

Said the professor:
“If there any dumbells in the room, will
they please stand up?” A long pause
and then a lone freshie stood up. “What!
Do you consider yourself a dumbell?”
“Well, not exactly sir, but I hate to
see you standing by yourself.”

How True
You can tell the freshmen by their
grin and by their stare,

Reporter Helps Santa
By Writing Notes
The inquiring reporter decided to take
Santa’s place at N. T. H. S. this year.
He promises to forward his list to Santa’s
headquarters and if you are good he
might deliver your gifts in person.
“What would you like for Christmas?”
the reporter asked various people. Some
of the replies are as follows:
Violet Martinson, sophomore, thought
for several minutes and finally decided
on a typewriter.
Gerry Rockow, junior, is keeping up to
date with the famous operas. She would
be delighted with a ticket to “Winged
Victory.”
Mr. Ashworth, instructor, would appre
ciate it if Santa would bring him a four
room apartment so he can have two
dogs. The only requirement is for the
apartment to be in a high class neigh
borhood because his dogs are used to
the best of company.
Don Sandin, sophomore, “a train ticket
home.” You aren’t lonesome for your
mother, are you?
Lavem Kellen, junior, “A sailor six
feet two inches, preferably blond with
wavy hair.” What an order for Santa!
Ronny Bair, freshman, wants a date
with Betty Weldon.
Danny Sullivan, senior, calmly asked
for a fountain pen.
Muriel Hendrickson, junior, “A beaver
coat would be a splendid gift.” Don’t
want much, do you, Milly?
Bob Hilton, freshman, answered dream
ily that he would really like a five passen
ger ’42 red Buick Century car. It must
be a convertible. “Fog lights, spot lights,
a radio, a heater, and a bea-u-ti-ful girl
are needed for the comfort of driving”
states Bob.
Bob Burke, freshman, “Oh for a date
with a dear blonde.” Poor Santa will have
a heavy load.
Two Library Books
Tie For Popularity
What is the most popular library
book in NileHi ? According to the stu
dents and faculty it seems that there
is a tie between the two best sellers
“The Moon is Down” by Steinbeck and
“Into the Valley” by Hersey. Both these
books have recently been called for by
21 people. Running second with 16 res
ervations is “Meet The Malones” by
Weber.
For third place on the list of NileHi’s
favorite books comes another tie, with
both “None But The Lonely Heart” by
Llewellyn and “Clung Brown” by Sharp,
taking the honor of 15 reservations each.
The library staff has reported that
these books are now available for the
people who have asked for them.
Whozit That's Hep
He’s a kid who’s hep and knows the score
He’s lots of fun and is no bore,
His favorite actor is none other than
“Bugs Bunny”
And his line is sweet, just ask his honey.
Just mention Millie and watch him beam.
He’s a player on our basketball team.
To get flat tires makes him mad,
He follows all the latest fads,
His clothes are super and up to date
He’s a real good sport and really rates

Profile Honors Go
To Two Seniors
This he-man is 6 feet 2 inches tall,
he weighs 180 pounds, has blue-green
eyes, and the color of his hair is brown.
Don’t rush too fast, girls!
Like to know who this “hunk of man”
is? Well, he’s a senior and his name is
Ernest Gustav Reiman. Sometimes called
Ernie and sometimes called Reamer.
Ernie’s favorite movie actor and actress
are Gary Cooper and Janet Blair. He
also has a favorite actress in the major
dramatics class. Wonder which Mary she
can be? He would rather listen to Bob
Hope than a n y . other radio comedian.
(Most people feel the same way.)
Ernie is one of these brainy persons
whose favorite subject is Chemistry. The
Reamy, as some people call him, was
born during the “Roaring Twenties” on
September 18, 1927. Maybe one of the
Marys is interested.
He has a pet peeve—one that has
caused much discussion. Ernie hates
to see girls wearing boy’s clothes. How
many other boys agree?
Perhaps some of you didn’t know her
before “A Little Honey,” but all of
you must know her now*. She’s Dolores
the maid with the bright red hair. Inci
dentally her name is really Mary Jane
Nelson and her real hair is brown and
not the bright red of the wig.
She’s a senior with stores of energy
and enough personality for two people.
Mary Jane’s nickname (so she says) is
“Stinky”. She will be referred to as
Stinky in the remainder of this article.
Stinky loves major dramatics more
than any other subject. She appeared
in “And Came the Spring” and numerous
dramatic programs.
A truth has come to light. Stinky is a
swooner! (almost at least.) Her favorite
movie idol is Frankie Sinatra, her favor
ite radio program is Frankie Sinatra and
her favorite platter recorder is Frankie
Sinatra. And by the way, her pet peeve
is Bing the Crooner.

The old boy gave out with some purty

Nile Hi Sends Alumni In Service
Best of Christmas Greetings
Charles Valkenaar was home this last
month but is now back at school again at
East Lansing Michigan. He likes this
mail box column as he gets a chance to
hear from his former pals.
John Forbes is at Camp Kearney near
Gan Diego, California. Believe it or not,
his hobby photography is a great help
as he flies in a B-24 taking pictures.
However, even that cannot take the place
of Niles Township for John.
From Chanute Field, Illinois, Ed Kee
gan claims he has chased electrons all
over the United States and he would dis.pense with all that pleasure (?) for good
old Niles Township. And also spend most
of his time studying problems. Miss Harbert says she’ll believe it when she sees
it.
One of our alumni, Raymond Bal
four, was wounded in action in Germany.
We don’t know the nature of his wounds,
but we do wish him all the luck in the
world and hope he will be home with
us soon. .
Leonard Christensen is studying sur
veying and fire direction work in a spec
ialist’s school and likes it fine. He is
stationed at Fort Sill, Oklahoma and
would like to know if anyone from Skokie
is near him.
Bill Kaiser is still holding down the
the amphibious forces at Little Creek,
Friday, December 15, 194-1
Virginia. He says he will soon be through
with training.
Artie Baumhardt, in the Navy, says he
is still “searching the seas” for someone
from Skokie.
Don Smyser, a marine stationed in the
Southwest Pacific, wrote a very interest
ing letter home to his uncle. The letter
reads as follows: “As per usual there
isn’t much doing out here and what there
is I can’t say because of censorship so
I’m right back where I started from.
Holy Mackeral, that’s the biggest rat I’ve
seen. He just ran out of the bulkhead,
(wall to all you civilians) I don’t bélieve you’d go for this place. The rats
out here swipe our bayonets from our
scabbards and attack us. That’s how big
they are.
One guy had his rifle stolen and found
it two days later underneath the bar
racks. The only thing we can figure out
is that one of the rats took it to shoot
the bum that was running around with
his wife. How about th a t? ”
We appreciate and want to thank you
boys for writing to us and letting us
know how you are coming along. And
even though you may be far away from
horns' this holiday season, we want you
to know that we are thinking of you and
wishing you the merriest of Yuletide
Greetings.
The Christmas Season
Isn1 At All What It
Used To Was1
“Twas the night before Christmas and
all through the house, not a creature
was stirring, not even a mouse,” read
mother to three children, quietly sitting
by her before the fire. But all was not
quiet in Santa Claus’ quarters.
His quarters, an enormous foxhole
(some stray robot bombs were bothering '
him) were as busy as a beehive, but at
last it was time for Santa to leave.
He climbed into his big jeep, which was
piled as high as a skyscraper with gifts,
and was off in a flash, jumping over
moonbeams and bumping on the clouds.
He drove through the sky and in no
lime at all it was time for him to land.
His first stop was in a little midwestern
town that you’ve probably never heard
of called Skokie.
The first house that he reached was
that of a slick chick whose name was
Katie Clark. Katie was waiting up for
him, and as he got into the room she ,
pounced on the packages.
First, she pulled out a beautiful plat- ,
inum mink coat.
“It’s really wonderful,” boomed Santa,
“isn’t it? ”
But Katie just gave a disgusted look ,
and threw it back to him. She opened
other packages that contained a diamond
and emerald bracelet, a “C” card ration i
book, and even a book containing the
answers to all of the tests for the follow
ing years, but she was still dissatisfied. I
Then, she spied a tiny little box, opened ■
]
it, and cried with joy.
“This is just what I wanted! I only ]
have 1,999 silver bracelets and I had to j
have one more! Thank you so much, j
Santa.”
Santa was very much bewildered. The <
same thing happened last year. A girl
named Betty' Burns had only beautiful
presents offered her, but all that she \
wanted was another boy to add to her
collection. She was only going with 49 j
boys in two months and she was ashamed ]
of herself.
Santa, driving through the sky to de-j
liver more packages, growled to himself
“What I’d like someone to give me for
Christmas is a book called, ‘How to Un- j
derstand Women’ ”.

Sell Subcsriptions
On December 6, Mr. N. D. Reynolds, a
representative from the Crowell Pub

classes concerning the selling of maga
zine subscriptions. The students under
took this job in order to get a bigger
and better annual for this school year..
If every student did their part the
annual should show a great improvement
over last years. With every student co
operating by selling one subscription the
quota should have been $3500. If the
quota was reached by December 14, the
annual was expected to have 72 pages
instead of 60 pages as last year’s was.
Of every subscription sold from the

subscriptions 30 cents was received on

Speech Correction
Classes Held By

Something new has been added this
year to the Niles Township speech de
partment. . It is the important work of
speech correction, remedial work being
carried out three days a week, Monday,
Wednesday and Friday in room 121.
This valuable work, which is being
\carried out by Mr. VanArsdale, consists
o l selling each student with a speech
impediment on the advisability of having
such a defect remedied. After this sales
technique has proved successful, a rem
edial course of action is mapped out.
The student then reports to Mr. Van\rsdale during the eighth period on des
ignated days for corrective treatment.
Although progress is slow, the fruits
of much labor with the defect eventually
take, form and shape.
A more detailed report on the progress
of this department will appear in a fu
ture edition of this paper.
The annual subscription drive for “Re
flections of ’45” netted the financial staff
$618. It is estimated that 700 students

Wetmore.
For those that like serious reading
there are books like: Yankee From

Some people are interested in current

by Smith.
If the person you’re buying a book for

Probably the biggest choice of books
is in the Children’s field. Mrs. Wetmore
thinks some of the best illustrations are

Thunderhead and My Friend Flicka by
O’Hara, Abraham Lincoln’s World by

Mr. Collins is now looking for new

candidates for membership will be en

until next semester.
Any boy or girl who plays an instru

The school now has the following ins

Former Niles Star

Howie Johnston returned to his ’ole

just before taking his army physical
NileHi’s former track star expressed
his good feelings at seeing the school
again. Howie has competed against such
teams as Notre Dame, Michigan, Iowa
State and Ohio State during this past
cross-country season. He didn’t seem to
think the competition was too tough,
however. Howie felt that “you grow into
facing the keener opposition.”
Out of a squad of some 20 boys John
ston was the youngest but despite this
he broke 2 Iowa freshman cross-country
records, one at 3 miles and another at 4.
While running for Drake, Howie has
frequently “been in the money”. His
finest achievements were his 2nd in the
Iowa State meet and a 3rd in the Na
tional Cross-country meet at East Lan
sing, Michigan.
Suffering their 2nd straight setback,
the Trojan quintet lost to Highland Park
on Wednesday, November 22, 48 to 22.
Too much teamwork and speed com
bined with little or no Niles defense
proved costly as the Trojans were com
pletely outplayed in their second non-con
ference game.
A minor obstacle to the Trojans was a
low running track that prevented any
shots being taken from the corners of
the floor. From these points many of the
Trojan scores are made.
Capturing the lead early in the game,
Highland Park didn’t relinquish it once
during the course of the evening although
at one time in the first quarter the Tro
jans were only 3 points behind.
Highland Park was held fairly well
in check in the first half, but after the
start of the 3rd quarter there was no
stopping them as they racked up 25
points to 8 for the Trojans.
Niles Trounced
The Trojans ventured to Waukegan on
Wednesday, November 29, only to lose by
a score of 36 to 17.
Playing before a packed house of Bull
dog rooters the Trojans got off to a fast
start and at the end of the first quarter
the visiting quintet was ahead by a score
of 7 to 6.
During the second quarter the score
sea-sawed back and forth but as the
period ended, a long leaping swish shot
by Stew Munroe gave the Trojans a
half time lead of 11-10.
In the second half the Bulldogs tight
ened their defense and during the whole
last half the Trojans were able to score
only 6 points, while Waukegan posted 25.
The high scorer for Niles was Mush
Anderson with 9 points, while Munroe
was second with six.
The young Trojans are still to find an
eye for the basket as shown in this game
when only 3 men did any scoring.
Trojan Hotshots
By not being able to take more thanl2
shots during the whole last half, Warren
lost to our Trojans on Friday, December
1, 36 to 25.
The first half was closely contested,
with the score changing hands many
times, but a nice shot by Bill Guenther
gave the Trojans a 16-15 halftime lead.
Although the Trojans had lost 3 out of
4 games, they picked the right one to
win, as this game marked the opening of
the North East Conference.
In the first half Warren set up a five
zone defense that couldn’t be penetrated
with any effect and the Trojans were able
to score only on fast breaks.
In the second half Warren switched to
a man-to-man defense and the Trojans
then scored 20 points to 10 for Warren.
“Mush” Anderson and Ernie Reimann
played a steady game, while Harry
Mueller led the scoring with 10 points.
Tonight the Trojans will attempt to
begin their mid-term vacation with a
victory over a strong quintet from Evan
ston.
Past performances don’t hold much
hope for Niles’ eagers as their record of
1-4 against Evanston’s 4-0 bears out.
Playing on their home floor, however,
will give the Trojans some edge in pre
game calculations. And the fact that
Niles will be pointing for this game
whereas Evanston probably will look to
it as an easy encounter is another dis
tinct advantage for the gold and blue.
The Wildkits topped off their 3 straight
wins by adding a thrilling 37-36 win over
Oak Park in the first conference game
for both schools. Oak Park has a tradit
ionally strong basketball machine because
of the size of the school and the interest
in the sport.
Evanston’s squad won’t be too tall, but
instead has an exceptionally fast, sharp
shooting team. Johnson and Eimers, a
center and forward respectively, are both
apt in this department.
Coach Hampton, whose nephew was
the leading scorer in the Suburban league
i last year, but has since developed a knee
injury which will prevent him from play
ing basketball for the year, doesn’t relish
the idea of going out on the limb, but
admits prospects for this year’s team
“seem quite good.”
Leyden Quintet Proves
Strong For Trojans
Still lacking an eye for the bucket plus
sloppy passing and little or no defense,
the Trojans lost to Leyden last Friday
night 41-35. This was the first time a
Leyden team has defeated the Trojans in
4 seasons.
Keeping up with their usual habit of
starting slow, the score at the end of the
first period was only 11-5 in favor of
Niles.
The next period showed more scoring
and the lead changed many times but
the half ended in a 22-22 deadlock.
In the next two periods, Leyden scored
19 points to 13 for the Trojans. This was
the Trojans 4th setback in 5 games.
