Sonny Gray to Play at Homecoming Dance
Is Taken at Nilehi
Tonight are Nilehi’s Homecoming
games. At 6:15 p.m. the Trojan Jayvess will meet Woodstock on our field;
at 8 p.m. the Varsity will play Woodstock Varsity.
Last night, a snake dance began Nilehi’s Homecoming celebration. At 7 p.m.,
a pep rally in the school parking lot pre
ceded the march through town. Students
brought boxes, paper and wood as ad
mission to the evening's festivities.
These materials were later used to
build an enormous bonfire, which lighted
not only the sky but also the hopes of
the crowd for a pair of Homecoming
victories.
In a Columbus day atmosphere, Sonny
Gray and his orchestra will provide
music for the annual Homecoming Dance
tomorrow night.
Tickets have been sold in homerooms
this week, under the supervision of Miss
Jean Small and her committee. Tickets
may still be purchased at the dance for

If History Repeats,
Trojans Win Tonight
By Bill Comstock
The Trojan football team trounced
Woodstock 18-6 to win their Homecom
ing game.
No, this isn’t a prediction; it is the
score of the Trojans’ 1941 Homecoming
game. Will history repeat itself? This
question will be answered tonight when
the undefeated Trojan eleven of 1946
takes the field against Woodstock in the
ninth annual Homecoming contest.
In the past, Niles has won lour Home
coming games while losing four and
tying one.
The first two Homecomings (or at
least the first two which Coach Harold
Isaacson can remember) were sad af
fairs. We were badly beaten in ’37 and
’38 by Warren and Arlington.
In 1939 our .luck started to change, as
we tied Arlington seven-all in a sav
agely fought contest.
At the Homecoming game of 1940,
we fared even better, as we made our
first mark in the Homecoming win col
umn by defeating Crystal Lake to the
tune of 20 - 0.
We also won our next three Home
comings in ’41, ’42, ’43. They say you
can’t win them all, so in ’44 we were
swamped by a powerful Libertyville
team as we lost our first Homecoming in
five years.
That brings us up to last year when
one of tli"! most exciting games Niles
ever participated in was played at Home
coming. We were nosed out on the
last play of the game when Lake Forest
intercepted a pass and ran for a touch
down to beat us 18 - 12.
The worst Homecoming defeat we
ever took was a 20 - 0 beating by Lib
ertyville. On the other hand, the men
of Troy racked up 33 points to Lake
Forest’s 13 in 1943 for our all-time
Homecoming high.
Although the history ot our Home
coming games is not too bright, a vic
tory tonight over Woodstock will set
a good example for the future.

L ibertyville Bows
To Trojans, 31 to 6
By Paul Reiland
The Nilehi Trojans turned on their
power on Friday night, Sept. 27, to
soundly whip Libertyville’s Wildcats 31
to 6 before a crowd of 2300 fans.
The Trojans started the scoring early
in the first quarter when Bill Witte
hurled a 28-yard touchdown pass to
Bill Comstock. The extra point was
kicked by Bob Farr and Niles led 7 to 0.
Later in the first quarter the Trojans
again marched down to the goal line
and Bud Horton went over from the 4yard line. The try for the point by
Farr was blocked.
The second Trojan touchdown was set
up by Jim McNeely, center. Jim broke
through and blocked a Libertyville punt
on the Wildsat 30-yard line. A pass took
the ball down to the 2-yard line. On the
next play Jim Heiniger went over for
the tally. The try for the extra point
was no good and Niles led at the half
19 to 0.
In the third quarter Niles marched
80-yards for a touchdown. The superior
Niles line opened large holes in the
Wildcat line and the Trojan backs had
no trouble in making long gains.
The climax to this long march came
when Horton crashed over from the 2yard line. Niles tried to pass for the
extra point but it was knocked down
and the Trojans led 25 to 0.
Libertyville finally got under way in
the fourth quarter and they marched
60-yards for a score. The try for the
point failed.
Late in the final quarter McNeely in
tercepted a desparate Wildcat pass and
dashed 28-yards for pay dirt. The kick
for the extra point was blocked and the
game ended Niles 31, Libertyville 5.
The bulkwark in the Trojan line was

JayVees Win 32-6
Over Libertyville
By Lyle Dye
In winning the first conference game
of the year, Nilehi’s Jayvee Trojans
defeated Libertyville on Sept. 27 with
a scpre of 32 to 6 in a rough, hardfought game.
Winning the toss, the Trojans chose to
kick. Carlson kicked and Libertyville
received and started on what looked to
be a successful march down the field,
but they fumbled and lost almost 30yards.
Soergel received their punt and ran
it back. This gave Niles the start she
needed, and soon Barrett went over for
the first touchdown. The pass from
Soergel to Carlson was good for the
extra point.
The second touchdown was made in
the next quarter by a pass from Soergel
to Beebe. After fumbling a bad center,
Soergel recovered and passed the ball to
Beebe for th extra point. A blocked
Libertyville pass by Fotsch, was inter
cepted by Beebe, who then made his
second touchdown of the night with a 50yard run.The try for the extra point was
unsuccessful.
The second half of the game was
soon livened up by Carlson’s 35-yard
run which chalked up another six points
for Niles. Nothing happened now, ex
cept for another well-earned touchdown
by Traush after a series of line plunges.
Seeming finally to realize the score,
Libertyville plowed down the field and
scored her first and only touchdown of
the game in the last seconds left to play.
Starting line-ups for Niles and Liber
tyville are:
Lifesaving for Girls

Life savng for girls has started at
Niles Township High School this year.
Through cooperation with the Chicago
Chapter of The American Red Cross and
through the efforts of Mr. James Car
nahan, Field Director, Nilehi has been
able to secure a university graduate who
is on the staff of the American Red
Cross as a water safety instructor in
life saving.
Both the junior and senior course will
be offered according to age require
ments. The life saving is required be
fore the Advanced Red Cross Swimmer’s
card may be earned.
The life saving class will meet twice
a week during the regular swimming
period. All girls who attend the re
quired time and pass the prescribed tests
will be accredited as life savers.
All senior girls who cannot qualify
for entrance into the life saving group
will continue their swimming instruc
tion during the regular class period. The
new arrangements have been made pos
sible by Miss Mildred Schaefer, chair
man of the Department of Physical
Education for girls.

Let's Have a Cheer
By Milly Zavrel
Not that our home room isn’t quiet,
but we missed the announcements and
had to wait until later to find out the
fatal news.
Then we heard we made the cheer

good?”
Is that good? Why, it’s wonderful!
We get in to all the games free, and
just think of the wonderful opportunity
we have, going up to all the big won

my sweater) men of Niles to ask them

I kidding!
Then the first game comes.
I wan’t to cheer, I’ve never cheered
before.”
“No, I’m a senior and this is my last
year,” and so the story* goes.
The lights are on, the players are out
there, and its time for a cheer. What
will we give? “Yea, Team?” No—
“Fight,
team, fight?”
How about a “Shanty Town,” what’s
the difference; no one yells anyhow. We
can always give “Comoe,” they always
yell for that.
“A player came out; who is it? We
have to give him a cheer.”
“I don’t know; I can’t see his number.
Is it W itte?”
“No, he’s still playing.”
The game has started and the poor
player is now sitting on the bench. He
probably thinks the cheerleaders don’t
like him.*
The game’s over; we all flock to
Cooley’s only to find that if you have
a Niles sweater on you can’t get in.
That’s right, cheerleaders have sweaters
on, so we sit outside,' isn’t that swell?
It’s all over with, but we still have
another game to look forward to. An
other day of losing our voice, jumping
over the fence and praying that we’ll

second Boris Kadloff.
“The Tell-Tale Heart” seemed to be
popular, ^"Shelby Peerman gave a dra

Twirlers Lack Wool;
Wear Bead Shirts
Maybe the sheep don’t grow wool,
maybe the boll weavels are eating the
cotton, or maybe the iarmers won’t
grow flax for linen, but anyhoo, our
twirlers have dug up some uniforms.
They will wear black skirts with white
blouses, white gloves and white shoes
and socks.
You’ll see the twirlers wearing these
outfits at the Homecoming games to
night. The baton twirlers and flag spin
ners will perform between the halves
of the Varsity game tonight.
