NILEHILITE
Ban the Can
THE GREAT MAN who once said that it is better to give than re
ceive obviously had never visited Niles East during the annual “can
ing” for prom king and queen candidates.
The canning which takes place every spring is more than an an
noyance to the students who invariably are barraged with canners who
either ask or insist that the student give money. It is a degradation both
to the canner who assumes the role of a common beggar, and to the
candidates themselves who appear to tote themselves so highly that
they do not hesitate to ask students to give money to them.
And for what worthwhile cause does the money go once it has been
collected? The funds finance the building of prom floats which are used
for 30 minutes and then destroyed—hardly worth the money spent.
Moreover, the canning tends to magnify the importance of the prom
king and queen election beyond its realistic insignificance. Although the
prom king and queen are not elected to fill an office of as near impor
tance as class officers, who are chosen to fill offices of some responsi
bility, the prom elections are carried on for two weeks, with most of
the emphasis during that time on canning. Class officer elections, on
the other hand, are easily handled in less than a week.
The NILEHILITE suggests that canning is unnecessary to the cam
paign for prom king and queen and should be eliminated. If candidates
want to run for the positions their funds should come from their own
pockets.

New Equipment Needed
The team also needs support in order to buy bet
ter chess equipment.
“We felt awfully inferior with our inexpensive
plastic sets when Evanston entered with their lux
urious wooden ones,” lamented Greg.
THE TEAM CERTAINLY has its superstitions!
Because every match played in the Russian Room,
242, has been successful, they are certain that the
room brings good luck.
They are sure that Greg’s victories result from
his constant conversation during the match. “Either
he talks his opponent into losing, or he talks himself
into winning,” the team members agreed.
Longhair Brings Wins
Throughout the game Henry Buch twists his hair
around his finger. The team attributes his winning
to this because the only time Henry lost was the day
after he had his hair cut.
As Greg explained the game, he
mentioned such fascinating terms
as the “Fried Liver, Sicilian, Giuoco Piano, and the Max Lindg”
which are all openings, defense, or
attacks.
New Courses Offered
For Summer Students
SCHOOL DAYS, school days, good ol’ golden rule days may end
on June 17 for some students, but for others who have to make up work
or are seeking enrichment, an extended and varied summer school pro
gram has been set up. Several courses that never have been offered in
summer school are included in this year’s session.
Journalism 1 and 2 will be offered to all students except incoming
freshmen. Next year’s NILEHILITE staff will be chosen from students
who have taken journalism during the regular year and those who will
take it this summer.

“I’VE ALWAYS LOVED to see my name in print! It gives me a

In this tongue-in-cheek manner Editor-in-Chief Bill Nigut explains

Bill has certainly had his share of by-lines this year. Not only was

“An unusual situation arose in the fall,” continued Bill. “I had to
cover the Niles East football games for the NILEHILITE, ‘The Life’
and the ‘Skokie News’ and turn out three different stories on the same
game.” To further complicate matters, Bill was out on the field much
of the time playing tackle for the Trojan eleven.
Although Bill says that the “unaware, typical teenage boob” who
has appeared in several of his “Billboard” columns is a gross exaggera
tion, he admits that some truth does lie in the apathy of teens to the
world around them.

And the lady of the hour, Clarise,
17, and going to her first prom, sat
on the floor in her favorite yogi

She couldn’t believe that in just

On the other side of the tracks
lived the cool Manfred Mustang.
And how was Manny spending his
last hours before the big occasion?
Why, he was polishing his skate
board.
Expectations Fulfilled
Two hours later, the door opened
and there stood the captivating

Manny, not too bad himself, was
dressed in his “white levis,” mad

brown loafers.
The couple hurriedly left the
house because Manfred explained
that his skateboard was double

Down Green Bay Road they
rolled, laughing gaily and singing
along with the music playing on
the radio hung around Manny’s
neck.

Then they arrived. That cool so

They had arrived at the Rolling

There wasn’t room for one more

commented on the decreasing at
tendance at home basketball games,
which he covered for the sports
page this season.
“Even when the crowd was
small, the Trojans went all out to
win this year,” Al declared. “The
size of the crowd seemed to vary
from week to week, depending on
the opposition. If we played Ev
anston or New Trier, the stands
were full,” he added.
65 Schools Exchange
As exchange editor, Al is respon
sible for sending issues of the NILE
HILITE to 65 different schools in
15 states, England, and France.
Correspondence is maintained with
schools in London and Paris, as
well as schools in this country.
“Copies of the NILEHILITE are
also sent to former teachers and
past members of the newspaper
staff,” Al said.
Al’s most memorable experience
was picking up a newspaper from
a school in Paris and seeing the
reprint of a column by Page Two
Editor Ken Seeskin. Al also feels
that Mr. Norman Frey’s guidance
“has helped the NILEHILITE staff
100 per cent.”
Feature Eds Team Up
SEVENTH PERIOD, Friday af
ternoon . . . Everyone is anticipat
ing the 3:20 p.m. bell and the fes
tivities of the weekend. But Anita
Weintraub and Gail Shapiro are
happily content to admire the newly
distributed NILEHILITE, which
they helped to create.
The two seniors have worked to
gether all year as page three co
editors and have “loved every min
ute of it.”
Creativity Used
Anita has been on the staff for
two years and likes creative fea
ture writing most of all.
“I enjoy interviewing also,” she
said, “but I dread writing head
lines and doing page make-ups.”
Anita plans to attend Northwest
ern University next year and will
continue with her journalism as a
major. She is also essay editor of
Golden Galleon.
“I do miss not having journalism
workshop this year because of my
APP French class. It added so
much to being on the paper.”
THIS HAS BEEN Gail’s first
year on the paper, and she regards
it as an invaluable experience.
“I’m always so thrilled with ev
ery issue that I think each suc
ceeding one is the best yet. I ask
everyone to read page three before
anything lse.”
Gail was this year’s Homecoming
Queen and worked on the commit
tee. She also plans to major in Eng
lish and journalism in college.
Skill Gained
“On one Thursday we had to
stay late to do the whole page over
for the next day because we had
miscounted words,” they rememberd. Now Gail does the figuring
geometrically while Anita checks it
algebraically.
“We used to spend hours togeth
er on page make-ups because we’d
talk instead of working.”
But now they have stopped “beat
ing the gums” and have “doubled
their pleasure and doubled their
fun.”
Art Department Reaps Honors
W ith Citation of Excellence
“GRANTED, OUR Art Department is small—but it is far from small in
stature. Just look at the exhibit in the assembly room,” declared Mrs.
Hazel Loew, Art Department chairman. “Why, in the past seven years
this department has won over $22,000 in awards and scholarships.”
Contrary to what many believe, art courses should not be mainly for
non-college bound students. She explained that if art were only for these
students, why should a college grant a scholarship to an art major?
Art Courses Intended for All
“When people imply that art courses are not for college-bound stu
dents, and I look at all those scholarships, I just hit the ceiling,” Mrs.
Loew emphasized. “Our courses are not ‘Mickey Mouse’ courses, but
are actual studies which require hard work.”
This year Seniors Cathy Svedlin, Jane Sola, and Rick Trapper all
won national awards for sculpture. Cathy, along with Senior Sandy Farber, had their portfolios of works sent to New York for judging by the
Scholastic Art Awards Association.
Last year was one of the department’s best years as far as scholar
ships. Marilyn Hirsh, ’64. won $9,300 total in scholarships—two of which
were four year scholarships. Elaine Schuman, ’64, won a $700 scholar
ship to the Art Institute.
East Wins Many Honors
“As a school,” Mrs. Loew remarked, “East has done exceptionally
well. We’ve won the National Hallmark Award for two years in a row,
and have taken every prize in the Lyric Opera Poster Contest.”
East’s Art Department just received a citation for excellence from
the Art Association. Only 200 schools in the nation receive this award.
“But,” Mrs. Loew explained, “we don’t display awards or trophies. We
like to show our work—not our honors.”
