THE WEST DIVISION Student
Council now is functioning under
the leadership of its newly-elected
executive officers, Jerry Hilde
brand, president; Jim Boysen,
vice-president; and Marcia Braver~man, secretary.
One of the council’s main ac
tions was to organize the following
committees: Citizenship and Code,
School Betterment, Safety, Assem
bly and Social, Student Lounge,
and Welcoming and Orientation. A
special committee dealing with the
problem of attendance to Student
Council also was formed. Council
members will investigate the pos
sibility of scheduling six weeks*
tests on different days.
The magazine drive, Novem
ber 4 to 8, represents an impor
tant project of the Council this
fall. The first turn-in day will be
November 4. Council members
will serve as magazine drive cap
tains for their homerooms.
Prizes,* donated by local mer~ chants, will include a portable
typewriter and gift certificates.

“THIS YEAR’S fall play, ‘Stage
Door’, is as unusual as a Chinese
puzzle,” admitted Miss Virginia
Stemp, director. “We are going to
introduce something entirely new
ip high school plays when we per
form on Thursday, Friday, and
Saturday, November 21, 22, and
23.”
Unusual is certainly the word
for the play, which has a different
format than plays formerly pro
duced at Niles. The plot revolves
around a group of girls, who
yearn to be actresses, living in
a brownstone tenement on Broad
way.
THE LARGE CAST includes 27
actors and actresses — a jump
from the usual 11 or 12 parts of
other plays. The cast is led by

In the spring of that year 34 char

Society. Today, the Nilehi Chapter
has a total of 404 members, 53 of

YEARBOOK RESALE . . .
The Reflections resale will be
held the week of November 18
to 22, to provide students with
a second opportunity to pur
chase a yearbook.
The annuals will be sold at
a cost of $6. Yearbook staff
members will take orders from
homerooms of all class levels
on November 20, 21, and 22.
In order to acquaint fresh
men with the yearbook, staff
members will explain its pur
pose and content, in addition to
answering questions about the
publication, during the home
room period, November 18 and
19.
Posters, bulletins, and other
announcements will be made
available before and during the
sale.
Spanish Club Plans
Traditional Banquet
AMIDST the pungent aroma of
tortillas and enchiladas, the Span
ish club will hold its annual Spanish-American dinner Wednesday,
November 13, at the Mexico Lindo
restaurant, 2024 N. Clark St. Be
cause the reservations can be
made for only 100 students, attend
ance will be limited to juniors and
seniors.
Spanish students will meet in
front of Nilehi at 5:45 p.m. and
will travel by bus to the restau
rant. Suitable attire for the af
fair is sports jackets and ties
for the boys and heels or flats
for girls.
Following the dinner, a program
conducted by the Spanish club
members will be presented. Some
of the highlights of the program
include a brief talk by the presi
dent of Spanish club, group sing
ing, and Spanish entertainment.
Students will return to the school
at approximately 9 p in.
At the first meeting of the
Spanish Club, Wednesday, Octo
ber 16, officers for this year were
chosen. Those elected are Bill
Connell, president; Karen Rosenquist, vice-president; Nancy Lotz,
secretary; Elaine Pass, treasur
er; and Twila Wells and Sheila
Erdmann, sergeants-at-arms.
The club meets on the third Wed

only criterion for membership.
Also necessary is the strength of
character that discriminates an
