Merry Christmas..
ON THE FINAL DAYS B EFO R E CHRISTMAS VA
CATION one will hear the English words. Merry Christ
inas, many times. Friends greet friends with the happy
phrase, children mull over the words in joyful and sus
penseful expectation, and disc jockeys assail the “radio
listening public” with Merry Christmas Rock, Merry
Christmas Cha Cha Cha and just plain Merry Christmas.
Here are some of the ways in which this , greeting will
be spoken in other parts of the world.

These and many more variations will he spoken

same thing: Merry Christmas.
�Niles Township M u st Plan
For Future — Dr. Parker
PLANNING A COMMUNITY THAT WILL “ STAND THE TEST OF TIME” is a task which faces Town
ship officials, according to Dr. Clyde Parker.
Dr. P ark er addressed students of Niles Township High School in four separate assemblies, one for each
class, held on Tuesday and Wednesday, December 8 and 9 at E ast and Monday and Tuesday, December
14 and 15 a t West.
The purpose of the assemblies was three fold. The additions to both buildings were outlined, the
need for a third site was explained, and a graphic explanation of why we would not be able to con
struct additional buildings on the West site was given.
Dr. Parker explained that he was presenting this information to seniors because, though they would
no longer be attending school in the Township, they would, in a short time, have the responsibility of
community life here.
They would, he went on, be concerned about the educational facilities of Niles as young citizens, tax
payers, mothers and fathers.
There are 3,900 students attend
ing high schools in this area pres
ently. In six years approximately
8,100 students will be ready for
high school. According to pro
jected figures there will be more
than 10,000 students in ten to
fifteen years.
The normal capacity for the E ast
building is around 2,400. The pres
ent enrollment is 1,950. In order to
alleviate some of the burdens of
increased enrollment, additions are
being planned for both E ast and
West buildings. They will begin
sometime after March % 1960.
Among the changes in store for
Niles E ast are an academic wing
connected to the main building
by a passageway to be built on
the second level, a music wing, a
sound proof library enlargement,
a contest gym, and cafeteria ex

Do's, Don'ts For Vacation
B Y DR. J . KEITH KAVANAUGH
HAVE A GOOD VACATION! That’s the word we give our friends
these days as we move through the halls of N.T.H.S. They generally
answer back, “ Don’t worry about that. It will be wonderful to do
just what we want to do for a few days.”
Yes, vacations are wonderful things. They are necessary to
our health and well-being, and should be provided for in the life
plans of each of us. Are there some instances in which vacations
are not in order? Are there some things from which we should not
take a vacation? I think there are. L et’s not take a vacation from:
Thinking — It is the source of power
play — It is the secret of perpetual youth
Reading — It is the fountain of wisdom
j
Friendliness — It is the road to happiness
Dreaming — It is hitching your wagon to a star
Looking Around — It is too short a day to be selfish
Laughing — It is the music of the earth
During this vacation period and throughout the year to come:
Let’s take a vacation from the smallness and pettiness which
sometimes creeps into our lives.
L et’s take a vacation from the lack of vision that causes us
to lose sight of our real goals.
Let’s take a vacation from the lack of understanding which
causes us to tread on the feelings of others without realizing it.
Finally — Let us never take a vacation from the wonderful spirit
displayed by this school in carrying out our school tasks and at the
same time making this an even better school. You are a wonderful
student body to work with. Have a fine vacation.

Proviso West, East Leyden
FOLLOWING AN opening loss
to Maine, the Niles varsity swim
mers have come back with two
straight victories against Pro
viso West and E a st Leyden.
In the Leyden contest the T?ojans won easily by a score of 5531, while managing to take nine
first places.
Rick Kroon got the ball rolling
with a 26.1 victory in the 50 yard
freestyle. Dave Katz followed with
a first place in the 100 yard butter
fly and Raul Martin finished in the
one-slot in the 200 free.
Bob Kirschner won the 100
yard backstroke and Bob Lamme
took the 166 yard breaststroke in
times of 1:07.8 and 1:15.2, respec
tively. Kroon came through with
his second victory of the day in
the 100 yard freestyle, as did
Martin in the 200 yard individual
medley.
The Trojans took first place in
the diving while the Tigers took the
next two spots. In the 200 yard
medley relay Kirschner, Walt
Isaac, Katz, and Marshall Classen
combined to give the Trojans an
other first.
The Nilesmen topped West Pro
viso by an enormous score of 67-19
for their second victory. Kroon and
Martin again led the Trojans with
two victories each in the same
events as the Leyden contest.
Bob Kirschner also took another
first in the 100 yard backstroke
with a time of 1:98.6. Unlike the
Leyden contest, the Trojans won
both relays against Proviso.
The first relay victory saw the
same team as before in the med
ley win in a time of 2:01.4. The
200 yard freestyle relay team al
so was victorious with Jan Janse,
John Peterson, Dick Karlson, and
Pete Hoag winning in a time of
1:55.1.
The divers also won their event
8-1 to give the Trojans the final
score.
The Trojans swam both meets
without one of their top swimmers,
Phil Karafotas, a senior, who was
sick.

Although Phil has been on the

also at Schurz High School in

“ The most embarrassing thing
that ever happened to me was
when I dove into the pool at a meet
and my suit almost came comple
tely off,” laughed Phil. “Another
time I made my turn in the pool
about three feet before I reached
the wall.”
Some favorites of this senior in

Last season Phil was awarded
the swimming team ’s “ most val

few juniors achieve. To help with
his swimming, Phil has a sum

After high school Phil would like
to attend the University of Indiana
on a swimming scholarship, if pos
sible. He intends to major in busi

Niles.
Phil has only one pet peeve. It
has to do with the people at Niles
who “ knock” the school spirit at
the school. “ It seems to me that
quite a few kids at Niles seem to
think that the school spirit is hor
rible; I don’t think this is true,
compared to some of the other
schools in the area.”
