The night of February 13 is coming up. There are bright lights and laughter. But what’s this? A tall dark man is coming into view. Why are they all laughing at him ? Why ? Because he is Gene Lewis, playing the hilarious role of Otis Skin­ ner in the play, “Our Hearts Were Young and Gay.” The play, which will be given on Feb­ ruary 13, 14, and 15, under the direction of Miss Helen Hughes (assisted by two student directors, Bea Delles and Mary Alice Clynes,) should please everyone since it combines romance and comedy in the way that proves “truth is really stranger than fiction.” In case you don’t know “Our Hearts Were Young and Gay” is the true ac­ count of the experiences of Cornelia Otis Skinner a n d Emily Kimbrough, traveling to Europe when they (and their hearts) were young and gay. Under the circumstances it’s not surprising that they ran into everything from Eng­ lish girls who were looking for a sink to a purser looking for a stowaway.

On Saturday, February 1, in the auditorium of the Lincolnwood school, the grand opening of the new Lincolnwood Youth Organi­ zation takes place. Recently the L.Y.O. was officially char­ tered at Springfield. The members are now deeply involved in the planning of “Sheer Folly,” the name of the evening’s program. “Sheer Folly” will include such acts as a replica of some of the famed blackface acts, a Barbershop Quar­ tet, plus a number entitled “Why Be Smart,” and many others. A few Nilehi students to appear in the program are Stan Anderson, Conrad Cornell, Phil and Tom Brice, June Pence, and Ronald Jones (Nilehi college stud­ ent.) Friday, January 17, 1947 Phone Quiz Confuses Both Teen and Lamarr By June Pence “But I can’t; it’s caught on the drawer. No, I wasn’t talking to you. Yes, I want to talk to you.” Last Monday the Chicago Daily News arranged for six Keen Teens to talk to movie actress Hedy Lamarr. Thus is explained thev above paragraph. As I (one of the lucky six) sat at the desk, with the photographer flashing bulbs, phone in hand, talking to Miss Lamaar, I became very confused. “It becomes rather embarrassing when one plays opposite one’s husband in a movie,” answered Miss Lamarr to my question, all the way from Hollywood to Chicago. We were each allowed to ask one ques­ tion so we found out that Robert Young is her favorite leading man, exclusive of her husband. By Dolores Wells “Congratulations! I read about you winning the contest,” wrote my friend Dorlene from Amundsen High. Contest ? .What contest, I puzzled, and then it dawned on me. I had entered a contest (“Write an essay on why you’d like to go on the stage”) a few weeks before, which was being run by the Hi-Sh6pper column in the Downtown Shopping News. The prize was what had attracted me, an interview with the actress who made “Lady in the Dark” a stage classic, Gertrude Lawrence. The interview took place on the stage of the Selwyn Theatre where the curtain had just descended after a matinee per­ formance of “Pygmalion,” which stars Miss Lawrence. She loves acting and especially the thrill of “Opening-Night.” Just before the curtain goes up she always thinks, “This is it! If they don’t like it, we’ll close and all our work will be in vain; if they do like it, we’ll be doing the same thing every night for the next two years.” “I w ai born in London,” she told us, “but since I’m English, Irish, and Danish and was born on the Fourth of July, that should make me quite international, don’t you agree?” Dimes to March Here Would you give a dime to save the life of a friend?—You will have an op­ portunity to do just that starting Janu­ ary 15, when the National Foundation of Infantile Paralysis opens its March of Dimes campaign in Illinois. Fifty per cent of the money raised will go to the local chapter to combat poliomyelitis, which struck 2,500 times in our own state during 1946. The rest will go to the National Foundation for research and medical experiment. Folders with spaces for five dimes will be distributed to all Nilehi homerooms. �Club to View Tombs; Tour Science Museum Friday, January 17, 1947 N ILE H I LITE Page 2 English Teacher Claims DeBooy, Guest at Ranch, Meal in China $6,000 Returns after 3 Months A letter from Miss Margaret Sheets, Maybe . they’ve never heard of the Students and faculty of Nilehi upon former Nilehi English Teacher, and head coolie named Ma Choolie who runs a coming back from Christmas vacations, of the English department last year, was rickety rick sha south of Peking, but recently received by the faculty members welcomed the return' of Miss Margaret tomorrow the See Chicago Club will.

Students Reveal Nickname Origins By Cathy Thompson We’ve often wondered how some of the crazy nick-names we hear around, the halls of Troy originated. When wt asked the kids how they got theirs, they answered as truthfully as they could Without giving away any censored secrets. Albo Miller says that when he and his brother Lawrence were “young” they could not pronounce each others names, fio o o - Albert became “Albo” and Law­ rence became “Lanno.” Bud Horton’s uncle gave him his nick­ name merely because he didn’t like the name Philip Everard, and I doubt if P. E. likes it either. Bone Blameuser got the name Bone at military school because no one could pronounce “George.”" Ted Stockfisch has been called “Binky” by his mother since he was a “child.” Bubs Baily used to be called “Bubbles” but “Bubs” is shorter. Gene “Leach” Hegarty tells me that a certain girl named Windhinder, who i3 quite a leach herself, hung the name on him and it stuck! Noel “No Bull” Keifer gets the “No Bull” from a false impression he gave to Zell when he told her that jeeps were for sale at 50 dollars apiece at an Army camp. Howard “Salty” Lindstrom acquired his handle because of his great war record on the “high seas,” his trips to Russia, China, and Alaska, and his years of service in the Merchant Marines. There’s just a few of the better ones, not to mention Anita “feet” Schmid, “Boxy” Mueller, “Red” Williams, “Tarz” What or who would you rather be other than yourself? Cathy Thompson — “I would like to invisable, so I could visit the halls of Taft.” Jim Schilling —- “Charlie MacCarthy, so I could let other people do the talking for me.” Dolores Lauth -— “I would like to be : a lemon so somebody could squeeze me.” Fred Champlin — “Just love to be a car so I could go places.” “Albo” Miller — “A rubber band. Well, it’s so snappy!” B etty Fortman — “I’d like to be a mind reader, so I could know what was going on in everyone’ mind.” ^ Bill Comstock —■“I would like to be a tiger so I could prowl at night.” Tubby K rier — “That b o w t i e ! (around Frank Sinatras neck.”) Dave Straw — “Ella.” Herb Knapp — “An automatic foun-. tain pen, so I can write my 3,000 words for Mr. Betts. Phil Milz — “Eanious movie director like David O. Selznick. It seems to be a lasting career.” George Davis — “Like to be a dentist and get revenge on other dentists.” Tom Black — “Skipper of a sailing vessel.” Lyle Dye — “A normal human being.” Marilyn Lee — “I’d like tq be a com­ mercial artist, because my dad is one and I can get help from him.” Margaret Wetmore — “My sister is so independent since she is successful as a commercial artist; I guess I’d like to be her.” It’s „ the Glee Club singing “White Christmas” in the White Mountains in a snow storm, (the one on the far right is Doris Bailey.)

'Let It Snow' Say N ilehi 'Studes' By Cathy Thompson It’s winter again and although some people think the weather is frightful, we students love it! Winter, the time of the year when the snow men mysteriously running around outside turn out to be the little urchins next door, or crazier yet, a couple ot Nilehi brats looking for a snowfight. The season for outdoor sports, when you dig out last year’s ski suit and struggle to get it to fit, when your folks want to shoot you for tracking snow into the house, and when rumors are flying that there’ll be no school in the morning if this snow keeps up. You spend most of your leisure time at the hills in Edgebrook or taking carefree little jaunts which drag you all over Skokie, Morton Grove, and Lincolnwood on the back of someone’s “hot rod.” These are the days of frost bite, slip­ pery driving, runny noses, wet feet, and colds. But we overlook the few draw­ Taylor, Earl “LaPalona” Carlson, Mat- backs and try to remember where we t h e w “Irish” Kolakowski a n d Bill left our boots, because as long as it’s winter and there’s snow, we’re happy. “Chunkhead” McNeil. �Page 4 Kitty Komer SONG OF THE WEEK — “For Sen­ timental Iteasans.” SAYING OF THE WEEK — “Guess I’d better start studying.” SIGHT OF THE WEEK — “T h e Skokie Recreation Club.” COUPLES OF THE WEEK — “Uno Larson and Kaye Jaeger, Carol Holmberg and Phil Brice.” Our “Couples of the Week” both began ‘going steady’ on the same day-exactly seven weeks and two days ago.

Off to a flying start when Red Williams sank a long basket, the Trojans kept up the same pace through­ out the game. The first quarter ended with the var­ sity ahead 20-13. Top scorer for that period was Bill Comstock with 8 points. The half ended with the Varsity leading 32-21. Bill Comstock still led with bas­ kets by scoring 9 points in the second frame. As the second half began, the Trojans started to pour it on by scoring 21 points, pushing the score to 53-35. Diek Fisher and Comstock shared scoring honors making five points each. “Mushy” An­ derson and Bob Glatz led the alumni at this time with 8 and 7 points respec­ tively.

They have selected two numbers which were written by Lois Bomemeier and Les Meyer, and they have their cast picked. The title of the carnival is being kept a deep dark secret. The group is having practices once a week, and after the swimming meets, they plan to have more meetings each week. Good luck, kids, and to you, Mr. Schubert; don’t worry, everything will come out right. Trojan Wars For Girls By Caroline Gylden Well, here we are now, sporting into a new year and new sports are starting the girls’ physical education classes. The upperclassmen are changing thei rsport to basketball and the underclassmen are changing to captain basketball. So a warning to all females, “keep your nails cut short so you won’t be breaking them all the time.” You fellas might think that girls sports aren’t rough, but you just try to keep up with them and you’ll find out. Of course they don’t mean to be rough with the other gals but they have to get in there and fight for their team just the way you fellas do in basketball, footbáll, or baseball. Speaking of*-the “fragile sex,” the Saddle Club is put for new members. You know the second semester is just around the comer, and all you freshies will then be called frosh. You may not know it, but this is a promotion. Any­ way, if anyone is interested in joining the Saddle Club see Miss Mildred Schaef­ er in the gym. You may ache a little after a ride, but you’ll enjoy every min­ ute of it. Just ask the members who are now in it. Gee, those poor cheerleaders. I don’t think they will ever get their new uni­ forms. Some of the leaders bravely say, “Oh well, maybe the cheerleaders of ’47-’48 will get new uniforms.” Well, at any rate, Miss Schaefer is still deter­ mined to get them, so don’t give up. When uniforms do come, and if you aren’t cheering that season, maybe the new cheerleaders will let you borrow the uniforms and give a cheer for our mighty Trojans. By the way, gals, don’t you think that you should pay a tax of some kind to the fellows for letting you borrow their sweaters? I see the G.A.A. is up and at ’em again. I was talking with Miss Mary Thurman and she said that she wanted to start the G.A.A. ping pong tourna­ ment soon. There have been no arrange­ ments as yet but I will keep you posted when it will start. This club is really on the ball. Get it? Ping pong—on the ball. O.K., so it isn’t so hot. Speaking of balls, the bowling ball has been pretty good to Florence Lacy. She has the highest average of all Nilehi’s girl bowlers in the Monday league. She has a striking 116.14 average. Take a bow. Eugene Suckow, you have the highest average in the Monday league of fellows. It’s a pinning 152.18 average. In the Wednesday league, Connie Engel­ hard is in the lead with an average of 133.15, while Dick Fuhr holds undispu­ ted first place, and has 154.21 since the season started. What’s the matter, fel­ lows, does he talk you out of those strikes ? JayVees Nosed Out By Alumni 25 to 23 By Pat Schirra Ouch, this hurts! Last January 3, Nilehi’s Junior Varsity basketteers were defeated by the Alumni reserves, 25 to 23. Oh, well, the scoring was all in “the family,” even if the Jay Vees did suffer a set-back! Herb Jaehnke ’46, Ike Husher ’40, and Bill Kunkel ’44, were the outstanding men on the Alumni team with Jaehiike as top scorer. Howard Siegel was high-» point man, on thé Jay Vees with 10 points. Ed Kutz also played a good game. Jr. Varsity H. Siegel Black Blessing D. Siegel Norman Heirens Kutz Leeming Gamer Witte Brown Total F.G. 3 0 0 i i 0 i 0 e i 0 7 Alumni Reserves F.G. 2 I.

He came from Sharp Comer grammar school in 1943. At Nilehi he has competed in football and basketball. Red has played Varsity basketball for 3 years, having won 2 major letters in basketball, 1 major letter and 2 minors in football. At the present time Red plays center on our Varsity bas­ ketball team. Now Red isn’t solely athletic-minded; he has a favorite gal, Pat Freeding, and his favorite food is a delicious concoc­ tion his mother makes, called “hair pie” which gets its name from the shredded coconut on the top of the pie. When Red graduates from N.T.H.S. in June he ex­ pects to enlist in the army. Due to insufficient seating capa­ city at Leyden there will be no N.T.H.S. fans admitted to the game. > ! �Page 6 Trojans Rout Warren In Free-Scoring Tilt NILEHILITE T he A che O f th e N ew s Friday, January 17, 1947 Nilehi Trojanettes Are Rugged Outfit By Jim Schilling An all-senior girl football team was By Ward’s Arch The Nilehi Varsity trampled the War­ made up last week by the senior boys (The Heel) ren Blue Devils on our home floor Jan­ The average height of the Varsity on last year’s Trojan eleven.
