Senior Class Events Find
Niches in Memories — 1964
MANY SIGNIFICANT events marked the 1963-’64 school year.
This was the year when the world was rocked by the tragic
death of President John F. Kennedy.
On the lighter side, this was the year when the Beatles skyrocketed
to new heights in popularity. The University of Illinois went from the
Big Ten’s cellar to the title and a Rose Bowl victory, and Niles East
won its first basketball game in two seasons.
The big dances were the bird, hitch-hiker, and the wrangler
stretch. The Bears won the divisional and world title in pro football.
At Niles, Friday, May 22, marked Senior Bermuda Day.
Au H20 was at his height this year. Gilson Park was found to be
the Northshore’s most popular fishing spot, and Nilehi’s Senior Cabinet
presented the annual Homecoming dance, “East to Alaska.”
In the entertainment world “Tom Jones” walked off with the Oscars
and all the laughs. “Bye Bye Birdie” became a big hit movie, and
Niles East presented its annual senior play, performing “The Miracle
Worker.”
BIKINIS WERE coming back, James Hoffa said that he was
framed, and Dick Biondi returned to Chicago; Niles held its annual
Senior Prom, Sakura o-Matsuri.
This was the year when smokers were shocked by a government
survey relating lung cancer and other ailments to smoking, but sales
were soon at an all-time high. At Niles, seniors were busily selecting
the colleges of their choice and making plans for the future.
That was the wonderful and yet sad school year of 1963-’64.

it.
“Seniors Glenn Winter, Judy Ward, and Ron
Drozdzick were the only ones in their class to have
perfect attendance records for seven semesters,”
said Mr. Russell Kauffmann, senior counselor.
About her amazing record, Judy said, “I made
it because I was just never sick enough to stay

“Everytime I wanted to stay home from school,”
said Ron, “I thought about ruining my perfect rec

that wonderful year . .
SEPTEMBER . . . 750 effervescent freshmen
oozed into the hallways, rooms, lockers, and lava
tories of Niles East. Nimbly tugging at some upper
classman’s letter-sweater, the freshmen humbly ask,
“Where is the cafeteria?” . . . All Nilehi students
were herded into a dank wrestling room for ID pic
tures. Particularly striking poses that later turned
up on ID cards were scratching the ear, wrinkling
the nose, and yawning the mouth.

be held in the near future. (It has now been re

cheerleaders severely beat a fan who yelled, “Wait

Mitchell Trio tickets, United Fund Drive breakfast
rolls, and fall play tickets went on sale during the
same week. (Three weeks later no one could figure
out why nobody bought a bid to the Christmas
Dance.)
DECEMBER . . . The annual alumni open house
brought scads of experienced college freshmen back
to Nilehi to answer the question “Is college different
from high school?” Answer: “No, unless you con
sider the fact that the two are so dissimilar”
Student Council revised its Student Code of Conduct
for the first time in 20 years, but never bothered
to print it for the student body. Hence, 2,900 students
didn’t know how to act.
JANUARY . . . The l*ep Club sponsored a his
tory contest to determine why the Trojan is the East
mascot. The Pep Club didn’t know why, the students
didn’t know, the administration didn’t know (or was
not telling); in fact, no one knew, so the contest was
a bust because no one entered . . . Nilehi’s first hoot
enanny turned into a near-riot when one folk singer
found several termites gnawing at his guitar.
FEBRUARY . . . The opening chorus line of

of the girls applied their grease paint too heavily
and nearly suffocated because their pores were
shut tight.

WHEN NILES NORTH opens
next fall, students at East will be
anxious to hear about school life
at the new division.
When friends from North and
East meet, the conversation will
surely center around the new
school.
“How are things way up North?”
“Not so good. How can we enjoy
the school when freshmen know
their way around as well as upper
classmen?”
“Have there been any off-color
incidents?”
“The only color that comes off
is the paint on the walls. They
aren’t dry yet, but that is more
color-off than off-color.”
“How do you like having certain
courses concentrated in each of
four small schools?”
“Oh, it’s okay, and it provides
the opportunity to think up names
for the four halls.”
Named for Erik, Walgreens?
“I thought of naming them after
great Viking heroes—Erik the Red,
Victor Borge, or Ingemar Johan
sen. Names could also be asso
ciated with Old Orchard Shopping
Center, which is right across the
street — Marshall Fields, Krochs,
Walgreens, and my dentist who has
his office there.”
“How does it feel to eat with just
members of your class level?”
No ‘Suckers’ at Lunch
“Terrible! At East, I could butt
into line ahead of a short freshman,
but now everyone’s bigger than me.
“Everything is bigger here at
North. There are over 100 students
in each homeroom. The homeroom
explosion is getting to be a serious
problem in America.”
“Have any new whippy lunches?”
“Well, (burp) there’s the Nilehi
burger which comes split in three
sections, and of course Friday’s
treat is walrus (for those who can’t
eat polar bear) and eskimo pies
for dessert.”
“Qh—how was your date last
night?”
“She was a real Viking all right
(ice cold) . . . oh, Leif me alone.”
“But wait, I heard you have a
new newspaper advisor.”
“Ya, she has a good head of hair
and she’s willing to learn.”

was shown on the wall.
APRIL . . . The cafeteria unveiled a new dish —
a concoction of bread crumbs, sugar beets, and Type
A lunches from March. The new entree was called
“Tagliaroni,” (really), after the Italian Civil War
hero, who, when he saw the enemy approaching,
yelled “Here comes the enemy!”
MAY . . . Popular Nilehi seniors Mary Joyce
Smock and Stanley Kazoo, who had gone steady
since fourth grade, startled the Junior Cabinet Prom
Committee when they withdrew their Prom Kirig
and Queen petition and quietly broke up . . . The
East varsity chess team was thwarted in its bid for
an unprecedented third straight championship when
its star chessman, Chester Chocks, got the mumps
and was unable to play.
JUNE . . . Seven couples, missing and presumed
dead, returned to classes after their extended prom
weekend activities . . . The Guidance Department
opened a campaign urging seniors not to drop out;
. . . 604 seniors, anxiously awaiting their diplomas,
killed time by cleaning out their lockers. Among the
objects found in the scrap were: a Homecoming
float, two drop outs, a can of Burma Shave, eight
cartons of Christmas Dance decorations, three
French hens, two turtle doves, and a partridge in a

Asks Year-End Questions
DEAR STUDENTS:
THE END OF the year is a time for evaluation
and re-direction. A school administration looks at
its policies and programs. A teacher looks at his
goals and his methods for reaching them. A student
does much the same.
Each of us asks the rather dis
armingly simple question, “Why
am I here?” The general question
leads to others:
What do I want to accomplish for
myself? Have I directed my actions
so that I am likely to reach these
goals? What have I done for the
school to help it reach its goals?
What have I done for others?
tions as these: Have we challenged our students to
seekjwhat ia right and what is good? Have we done
our Jpest to lead our students toward becoming bet
terJ|uman Beings? Have we provided adequate help
to oMLnewl teachers? Are we providing programs
that iml^Lme needs of all our students in an era

An honest confronting of each of
these questions is necessary, and
one’s ability to face such questions
is a measure of his maturity.
We hope that seniors look at their

school years with some degree of
realism, and that young people of all grade levels
are moving toward realistic self-appraisal.
As an administrator, I must consider such ques-
who did not choose, for one reason or another, to
fill leadership positions.
Believe me, You are important! What you do is
important! Your support has been essential to the
school through this year.
To those in this group who are seniors I want to
say that just because you did not fill positions of
leadership, do not discount your
abilities nor should you discount
your worth when judging your con
tributions to the success of our
school.
The way you carried out your re
sponsibilities was extremely impor
tant. The ideas you expressed were
meaningful and the value you held
were basic to a sound school or
ganization.
To you the seniors of ’64 and the
whole school, I am pleased to ex

this past year. I wish you well as

“NEXT YEAR the SSO system will be enlarged to include the
members of the Freshman Class.”
These are the words of Senior Joel Stronberg, current SSO chair
man, on describing a new outlook for next year’s Student Service
Organization.
Other changes in the next year’s SSO structure include a decrease
in the number of student-run study halls from 78 to 21, and the
increase of lunch hour faculty-run
study halls to include all but three
of the lunch period studies.

The Niles North SSO will pattern itself after East’s SSO, with two
of its executive members being chosen from a list of interested East
juniors, and another two from West.
“With the abolition of faculty-run freshman study halls,” said
Joel, “we have initiated a new plan whereby all study hall disciplinary
cases will be transferred to what will be in effect a faculty-run ‘deten

Barbara, was co-editor of this year’s feature page. “Since there are

Bill, chosen as editor directly from the Journalism Class, plans to

the paper to be just a ‘patsy’ for the administration. I think it’s our
responsibility to discuss controversial issues. But,” he laughed, “We’ll

President Says:
'Good-by' Class of '64
TO THE GRADUATING Seniors of Niles East . . .
I have viewed the Class of 1964 in two different regards, and as a
result I have gained immeasurable admiration and respect for you,
my classmates.
I am proud to call myself a member of what I consider to be one
of the strongest classes Niles has ever seen.The Class of 1964 has
reached excellence in all fields of education, and in all fields of social
and athletic maturity.
First, the Class of 1964 has many honor roll students, many stu
dents who have been awarded scholarships for academic excellence,
many who have received special commendation from the National Merit
Program, and finally, many who have gained induction to the Niles
East chapter of Quill and Scroll and National Honor Societies.
Next, the outstanding athletes of the Senior Class have earned state
championships, area and league recognition, and scholarships to many
of our nation’s fine universities.
Socially, the Class of 1964 succeeded in producing well-accepted
dances, school carnival, and one of the finest proms ever seen at Niles
East.
We are now graduating, and with us go the traditions of the Class
of 1964.
Thank you,

T R O J A N S T A K E SL TITLE!
East Nine Edges New Trier;
Gevirtz W ins On Two-Hitter
By Barry Perelgut
SOUTHPAW BOB GEVIRTZ stopped New Trier’s Indians 5-0
with a two-hitter in the first game of a double header at Oakton Park
Saturday to clinch the Suburban League baseball championship for
the Niles East Trojans.
The Trojans managed only five hits themselves, but bunched them
for two runs in the first inning and three in the third.
A crowd of 1,500 was on hand to see Shortstop Dick Minors provide
all the punch Troy needed when he blasted a first-inning home-run
with center fielder Bob Walner on base. Walner was on first after being
hit by one of New Trier Pitcher Greg Dean’s fastballs, the first of three
times Walner was hit in the opening game.
Three Runs in Third
Troy gave Gevirtz a more comfortable lead to work on with a
three-run outburst in the third inning.
Walner started the inning by being hit for the second time. Minors
struck out and First Baseman Gil Ravelette, the only junior in Coach
Nick Odlivak’s senior dominated lineup, walked to put runners on
first and second.
Third Baseman Mark Newburger smashed a line double into the
left field corner to score Walner and send Ravelette scampering to
third. Second Sacker Bob Sheam punched a single to center to drive
in both runners and give Troy a 5-0 lead.
Gevirtz in Command
Gevirtz was in command all the way. He gave up a bloop single to
New Trier’s Phil Wilhelm in the second inning and a base hit to Dean
in the seventh. The dark-haired lefty struck out six and walked none.
The Trojan defense was faultless behind Gevirtz and allowed neither
