Music Department Plans
Return To Sleepy Hollow
The headless horseman rides
again on May 4 and 5 when the
annual musical, an original
script based on the “Legend of
Sleepy Hollow,” is presented.
Directors of the all-school pro
duction are Mr. Earl Auge, music;
Miss Virginia Stemp, drama inter
pretation, lighting, and sound; and

Those reaching the finals will
try out tomorrow, March 3, in
the girls’ gym at 9 o’clock.
The musical concerns Ike Crane,
a dancing instructor, who comes
to Sleepy Hollow, a school for
young ladies. There he meets

New Format
Point Blank
Astronaut John Glenn, exactly 10 days ago, helc
Niles East, Skokie, Illinois, and the entire USA in suspense.
While the Friendship Seven thrice encircled the globe, we
excitedly waited to hear what science would uncover next.
Science, in all of its aspects, commands an increas
ing amount of attention in the classroom today. The
race to command the new vista of the beyond places
scientific endeavors on a high pedestal, and justly so.
Yet, is the advance of the rocket age putting a damper
on our creative talents?
Observing our own school situation, it is indeed gratify
ing to discover that in addition to striving for accomplish
ments of a scientific nature, some Nilehi students are keep
ing the arts alive.
Bravo! Sixty-seven students placed in the Scholastic
Art Contest. Reflections tryouts offered some mighty
stiff competition; Golden Galleon is beginning to receive
manuscripts from a few Trojans who envision a by-line
for their works; the Spring Musical adopts the theme
that “the show must go on,” despite the consequences
that the split in schools has brought.
Happily, some of us realize th at learning does not stop
outside the classroom. We are the students who will not
leave high school culturally sterile. We will have gained
more than a book-learned approach to life.
So be it that rockets and missiles are the highlights
of this day a( d age. But the paintings, music, and litera
n
ture handed down from generation to generation will remain
the foundation of civilization.
The annual Nilehi musical has
made the first major changes in
format since its beginning in 1955.
From the 1955 production of “Stu
dent Life” to the 1961 performance
of “All at Once,” the majority of
the musicals have been take-offs
on either television or Broadway
shows. This year the entire script
and musical score have been pur
chased as a “packaged deal.”
The purpose of this change in
format is to prepare the school
for more elaborate productions in
the future. “Oklahoma” and
“Carousel” include two of the
original Broadway productions
which Mr. Earl Auge, music di
rector, hopes to produce in the
years to come.
W HAT
WILL
sc/fm
Another change which has taken
place in the musical productions
concerns the number of students
involved. Originally, between 400
and 500 students participated in the
various phases of the musical. This
year approximately 160 students
are involved. This is basically due
to the split in the schools.

Stu Marshall, 154 pound senior

145 pound junior, will continue
their quest of individual state
crowns today and tomorrow at
Arlington High School.

and Ray Berens, 165, were elimin

matches.
All three placed second in the dis
tricts held here.
Marshall whipped Bob Hofmeier of Highland Park for the
sectional crown 3-2. Hofmeier took
the district crown from the Tro

series of close matches began
during the regular season when
the two stars fought to a draw.
Stu also recorded victories over
Ed Garross of Waukegan, 6-2, and
Paul Clifford of Glenbrook, 5-2.
The Trojan 154 pounder now owns
a record of 22-1-1.
In the 145 championship match
Irving Roller of Glenbrook de
feated Papandrea 6-5 in an over
time encounter. John, leading
3-0, clasped hands three times in
the match, which gave Roller
four points and led to the Glen
brook wrestler’s ultimate victory.
It was the end of the football
captain’s nine match winning
streak. He now has a mark of
16-4, of which two losses are to

Kurt Soloman at 95 was the Giant’s

By Art Rotstein
Sports Editor
After a fair start and a midseason-slump, the Trojan teams
are finishing out the winter season in a blaze of glory.
The wrestlers finished the regular campaign one notch below
the .500 mark. Hosting the state districts two weeks ago, the Men of
Troy took third in the six team field behind Evanston and New Trier,
and sent five men to the Waukegan Sectional last week. Howie Rosen
baum, A1 Stern, and Ray Berens were beaten in the first round, but
Stu Marshall and John Papandrea placed first and second respectively,
gaining the right to wrestle at Arlington High School today and to
morrow in the state finals.
Although the wrestling team was not as strong as last year’s
team, the boy’s have done an excellent job, and Marshall and
Papandrea have good chances to cop a pair of individual state
crowns for their efforts.

Tomorrow afternoon the Trojan gymnasts tangle with the rest
of the Suburban League, excluding Highland Park, which has no team,
in the Suburban League meet at Proviso East. According to Coach
Milan Trnka, the Trojans can place second or third, and should defi
nitely advance from their current fourth place standing. The froshsoph team has a good chance to take first place in this meet.
The state meet, which will be held at Willowbrook on March
17, should see the Trojans placing high in the state as a team. The
great versatility of the varsity members should be a great boon in
this meet, particularly in the all-around event, in which Ike Heller,
Elliot Pearl, and Jim Block are entered. These boys also will
contest in their specialties, which are respectively, the parallel
bars, the side horse, and the rings.

The cagers scored their second S.L. victory in the Highland Park
encounter last weekend, and close out the regular campaign against
Oak Park tonight. With a win tonight, the Trojans can gain a last place
tie with the Little Giants, for the prospects of Highland Park toppling
Waukegan, which is tied for first place, appear dim.
Next Tuesday evening the roundballers battle with East
Leyden in a first round regional tourney game. A win for the Tro
jans will advance them to the regional semi-finals.
For the first time in S.L. basketball history, there may be a
three-way tie for first place at season’s end. At the present time, Wau
kegan, with a late-season surge,' New Trier, and Proviso East all
have identical 10-3 records with but one game remaining. Should
all three teams win their games tonight, and chances are they will,
the final standings will have a three-team bottleneck on the top.

We wish all the Trojan athletes the best of luck in the state
finals of their respective sports, and are hoping for high placings
by them.
The Trojan gymnasts conclud
ed their dual meet season last
Friday by defeating Morton East
83-49. The Nilesmen captured all
six first places in the meet.
Co-captain Elliot Pearl retained
his undefeated status on the still
rings besides winning the horizon
tal bar and parallel bar events.
Junior Ken Gordon severely bruised
his shin while performing on the
trampoline, but he will be able to
participate in tomorrow’s Suburban
League meet.
Earlier, the Trojans, who were
tied with Evanston, dropped to
fourth place as the Kits slipped
by the Easterners 67%-64%. A
promising Trojan rally fell short
as an unexpected setback on the
sidehorse early in the meet
proved to be the margin of de
feat.
Coach Robert Tomanek’s froshsoph team captured a share of
first place by beating Evanston 7359. Sophomore Mark Slotten, an exEvanston gymnast, along with Arnie Lazar and Mark Kann, helped
advance the frosh-soph team into
a three-way tie with Evanston and
New Trier. The frosh-sophs also
concluded their season by downing

Battle Oak Park Huskies
In League Finale Tonight
BY AL AVERBACH
The hard-playing Trojan basketball squad bounced back from
two losses the previous weekend to trip Highland Park’s Little
Giants last Friday evening by a 60-57 count. The victory brought
their league record to 2-11, with one league contest remaining.
After losing a close game to Waukegan, 57-51, two weeks ago, and
then being routed by Proviso East the following night, 61-47, the Niles
men returned home against the Little Giants, and pulled through a
victory in the last half-minute of play.

Rams to Victory

Rams whipped both Niles East
and Niles West in a triangular
meet held last Tuesday.
Before a sparse crowd of about
50 people, Brettsnyder won one 50
yard dash in 5.7 seconds, the 440
yard race in 56.7 seconds, and
rounded out a victorious Ram mile
relay team.
One of the Trojan’s outstand

Bill Toelke. Toelke, who won the
half mile at Waukegan, where
the Trojans were also set back,
lost to Glenbard’s Nichol by 2.5
seconds.
Senior Frank Summers placed
third in the 440, as he did at Wau
kegan, with a time of 59.8.
High jumper Mike Kagan snared
fourth place with a 5’-4” effort.
Glenbard took the first three spots
with jumps of 5’-6” and better.
Trojan Jim Reed, who has been
improving his time with each meet,
ran fourth in a 4:57.7 mile won by
Moore of Glenbard.
The Rams, who placed first in
every event, captured top honors
in the shotput with a 47 foot 3

fourth in this competition.
Glenbard’s mile relay team ran
a 3:51.8 race, and the Rams’ fourlap relayers took their event with
a 68.8 effort.
