School is Finally Over !
A re We Happy or Sad ?
-i.
m
5«
TODAY IS THE DAY that we, the seniors, have been looking
forward to with a combination of joy and dread. It’s our last day of
joy and dread. It’s our last day of school at Nilehi.
It seems as if just yesterday we were “green freshies” , entering
Nilehi foi* the first time. We walked through the big center doors and
were wide-eyed at the vastness of the building and the crowds of
people. We had never gone to school with 1200 other students before.
The sophomores, juniors, and seniors found it easy to sell us elevator
passes or direct us to the wrong classrooms. We were easy prey
at the first football game. The older students “initiated” us, and
we came home all smeared with lipstick.
V■
The year flew by and suddenly we were sophomores. We were
really part of the school. We belonged to clubs and went to dances
with the upperclassmen.
All too quickly we were upperclassmen. We began to be school
leaders. Some of us were initiated into the National Honor Society,
elected to receive the Hi-Y Citizenship Award, and chosen to attend
Boys’ and Girls’ State. We entered floats in the Homecoming Parade,
we watched our classmates play on the varsity teams, we organized
and attended the Junior Prom, and we ushered at the breakfast and
graduation for the Class of ’55.
And then, without seeming to have grown much older, we
entered Nilehi and found ourselves on top. We were the presidents
of organizations and the editors of the N i l e h i l i t e and the year
book. We had stopped looking up to the older students; now, we
were being looked up to.
Our senior year saw us attending a different type of school than
the one we had entered four years before. We found a school that
contained over 1800 students, had built a new wing, and was plan
ning to build a new school to house future freshman and sophomores.
Our growth helped us win respect in the Suburban League. No longer
were we an easy football defeat; we surprised our opponents by putting
up big battles and defeating some of them.
AS WE LOOK back we see how much we and the school have
grown, and how much growing we have yet to do.
For some of us the end of high school will be the start of life
at a college; for others it will mean we have finally become a part
of the adult world, for we will bebin our careers.
The walk down the aisle on graduation night will be the end of
our high school life; it will also be the beginning of our life in an
older, more mature world.

COLLEGIATE teachers at Nile
hi? And how, or at least one teach
er seems to be in the ivy league
mood. The students in Mrs. Pris
cilla Baker’s period 7 French class
became perturbed when Mrs. Ba
ker would swing one of her shoes
on her toe, “We were sure it would * *
fall off some day,” one student re
marked. To solve their problem,
they presented the instructor with
a brand new, very co-ed looking,
pink pair of bubles, a type of sad
dle shoe. Now she will have to
untie her shoes before she can
swing them.
*
SPRING HAS sprung, and poets
have begun writing their senti
mental lines of poetry — or so it
seems at Nilehi. Here are some
lines written by Paul Fiddler, sen
ior and new boy from England:
Math is useless, history’s a
bore,
English is all right but what’s
that for?
We,study and study Shakespeare
and Shaw
Then we forget it and learn
some more.

“Why can’t you drink salt wa
ter?” was an inquiry in period 2
U.S. history class. Mr. Jackson
replied, “You should try some
since upon drinking it your ton
gue swells up so you can’t talk.”
* *
*
IN EXPLAINING to her period
2 composition class that her class
last semester had great difficulty
in grasping what was going on,
Mrs. Parepa Rice stated the en
ormous number of students she
failed that semester. “I was about
as popular as a crack in a glass
eye,” she chuckled.
*
*
*
In the same class, after an
swering questions about sun-spots,
comets, and planets, Mrs. Parepa
Rice said that her composition
class should be changed to a G.I.
course, General Information.

Yorkshire pudding, pounds and
sixpense, and pubs were all the
topics of conversation when sen
ior Paul Fiddler told his English
literature class about his native
land, England. He showed the
class a penny which seemed
more like our half dollar. Upon
seeing this huge coin, Bob Schroeder commented, “How big
are their parking meters over
there?”
“YOU’RE BEING polite over in
France when you kiss goodbye,”
stated a student in Mrs. Priscilla
Baker’s French class. “I’d sure
like to be polite in that country,”
said Doug Wold, junior.

During a recent thunderstorm,
the lights in Mr. Don Blair’s per
iod 2 Spanish class suddenly went
out. The class starter to laugh and
to make knowing remarks. Mr.
Blair winked and said, “Yes, here
it is. Room 319, now known as
Blair’s Tunnel of Love!”

After one of senior Phil Quig
ley’s famous “orations” in Dr.
Vernon Haubrich’s period 7 so
ciology class, the class burst out
in laughter.
That’s all right,” consoled the
instructor. “They laughed at
Einstein; we laugh at Quigley.”
*
*
*
UPON STEPPING into the As
sembly Room period 7, the students
of Dr. Haubrich’s senior sociology
class were confronted with a pecu
liar sight: Dave Lindquist was
steadying an extremely tall ladder,
while Phil Quigley, standing at the
top, dropped pennies which he was
taking from the ceiling light into
Jim Beddia’s hand.
After observing this curious op
eration, Dr. Haubrich stated, “A
perfect example of young, driving,
opportunity-seeking youth!”

Class of Cum-Laude Pills:
For relief of swollen heads caus
ed by a serious infection of senioritis.
Dose: one pill for first attack,

Prescribed by Mr. Keith Hertweck, psychology teacher.

After dancing till midnight, the
juniors and seniors and their dates
invaded the downtown night clubs
and restaurants.
Returning home for a couple of
hours of “shut-eye” , they were
then up and off to the lakes for
picnics, swimming, and boating.
THE PLANNING for this week
end began last November when
the Junior Cabinet started discus
sing the place, date, band and
other plans for the 1956 Prom.
Prom Committees were formed
with Cabinet members at the
head of them, and they set to
work choosing the ballroom and
band, and picking out bids.
Then in April other juniors were
added to the committees. The tick
et sales committee, in charge of
selling tickets during the week of
May 21 to 29, was headed by Hal
Neimer.
IN CHARGE OF greeting arriv

Dr. Mason, who came to Niiehi

Air Force Department’s school
in Europe.
Instead of 1850 students as Dr.
Mason has now at Niiehi, he
will have charge of the education
of more than 17,000 youngsters of
Air Force personnel.
DR. MASON told the board that
“I sincerely regret leaving this
