Each candidate was required to
have 100 signatures on his petition.
Each junior and senior could sign

Dear Readers:
As has been the past custom of the NILEHILITE, the last two
issues of the paper will be turned over to the newly-selected staff.
Therefore, this issue wi'l be the last issue of which the present staff
will have charge.
Looking back over the past year, I have many memories of
wonderful experiences. But I realize that without the help of many
people the NILEHILITE would never have been a success.
I must express my thanks to our faculty sponsor, Mr. Paul Eberhardt, without whom the NILEHILITE would never have appeared
on its regular schedule. Mr. Eberhardt always supported his staff;
he never stopped them from doing what they thought best. He sug
gested, never demanded; he criticized constructive'y, never degraded
Through his efforts the staff learned to correct its mistakes and im
prove each issue as the year progressed.
Of course, the paper depends largely cm the efforts of the
staff—
the Managing, Feature, News, Sports, Page and Picture
Editors, and our Photographers. My deepest thanks must also go
to the Journalism students who acted as our reporters; they were
always faithful in covering their “beats” and were diligent in
tracking down news sources.
Thahks must also be expressed to the teachers and administrators
who took time from their busy schedules to talk to our reporters and
give them stories.
A special kind of thanks must go to all those who took the
jesting of our April Fool’s Issue in the way that it was meant to
be taken — as a joke.
Finally, thanks must go to Mr. Joseph Meier and his staff who
were always patient with us when we were late with copy and caught
in the last minute rush, of deadlines.
I can do no more now than to wish the new editors of the
NILEHILITE the best of luck next year and Happy Printing.

EDITOR-IN-CHIEF
Nilehi Talks...
Dear Editor:
I WOULD LIKE to congratulate Joe Tagliabue on his fine editorial,
“Me and America,” that appeared in the last issue of the NILEHILITE.
I don’t know Joe personally, but through this editorial I got a deeper
insight into his character and a better understanding of what nonAmericans think of the people in the United States.
Since -school is almost- over, the
Inquiring Reporter asks the ques
tion, “If we could have a special
day, what would you like to do?”
-Gwen Johnson, senior: “Get ahold
of the PA system.”
Ellen Enke, junior: “Use the whole
day for yearbook signing.”
Sandy Eggert, junior: “Have all
the seniors wear buttons saying
“Senior,” and have all the
teachers bow to them.
Harvey Nilehi: “ Let all the kids
spend the day in the library.”
Don Brel, senior: “Fill out my own
grades for the rest of the
year.”
Pam Bradley, junior: “Be able to
leave my classes when I get
tired.”
Don Hansen, senior: “Have the PH
teachers run the mile.”
Steve Hawk, senior: “Be the ad

is being offered this semester at

This program will provide for
a limited number of boys to at

will choose the career that they
are interested in and will work
at the plant that offers the best
training for that career.
Those boys who are still inter

this semester will continue to go
to school for a half day the first
semester of their senior year. This
is so that they can continue work
on their projects at either the li

Eager Students
Study Radiation
Eighteen Nilehi juniors and,se
niors in Miss Myra Robinson’s
botany classes are learning the se
crets of Radiation Biology.
The students were selected on
the basis of interest, ability, and
willingness to work on their proj
ects after the close of the regular
school day. The reason for this
is that radioactive isotopes re
quire long hours of experimenta
tions.
At the present time, each student
has determined the best opera

counters and has begun a project
that involves the use of radioac

How do the boys at Niles com
pare physically with boys in the
rest of Illinois?
The Nilehi physical education
department is giving all boys a
series of tests designed to find
out. The tests include such cal
isthenics as sit-ups, push-ups,
pull-ups,^and squat-jumps. In ad
dition to these calisthenics, each
hoy is timed for running the mile.
The number of each exercise a
boy can do. and* his time for the
mile is then compared with a
standardized booklet taking into
consideration the boy’s age. Each
student then receives a grade be
tween 0 and 100. These same tests
were given last fall and those re

These testing programs bre just one more way in which Niles
remains as a leader in the race to provide an excellent Student Guid

As a part of provisions of the National Defense Education,
Act passed by Congress bast August, Nilehi freshmen were given

classes during the weds following spring vacation. The tests

Some 240 sophomores took a battery of tests known as the

May 2. Their purpose .Was to give sophomores experience in taking
tests of thjs type, arid to gain self-appraisal information.
Also on May 2, at Nilehi East, over 300 juniors began the long
and hard process. of qualifying for such scholarships as thW
