Announce, Listen, Act
IN OUR ULTRA-MODERN age of jet travel and early-bird satel
lites, communication seems to present no problem. W hen there is im
portant news to be relayed to America from distant corners of the
earth, we learn of it in mere minutes. To be informed of the current
national and world news, all we are required to do is switch on a radio
or television, or pick up one of many available newspapers. The radio,
the television, and the newspaper are our means of communication
with the world around us.
A high school, on the other hand, proposes a different situation.
Its system of communication is through the daily bulletin and the pub
lic address system, both not as complex as an early-bird satellite, but
potentially just as effective.
The daily bulletin and public address system at NiJes East repre
sent the students’ principal means of communication with the adminis
tration and faculty. Important notices regarding administrative news,
club meetings, athletic events, student unions, tryouts, plays, ticket sales,
and assemblies affect the majority of students in school. Too many,
however, are not being informed of these activities due to the negli
gence of both the homeroom teacher and the student himself.
£acn day the homeroom teaener reec.vca
Each aay me nomeroom teacher receives a daily bulletin, usually
accompanied by other announcements such as scholarship bulletins,
career seminar and college representative schedules, and testing dead& r
lines.
.THE NILEHILITE strongly urges all homeroom teachers to care
fully read every appropriate bulletin to the students. If possible, post
ing the notice on a bulletin board would be even more effective.
A homeroom teacher, however, can only do so much. Communica
tion in high school is a two-way project. The teacher may read the no
tices, but it is the responsibility of the students to listen attentively to
the daily bulletin and public address announcements.
If for some reason—a planned homeroom activity, for example—
the homeroom teacher is unable to complete the bulletins, students are
advised to Consult with the bulletin posted outside the Main Office,
Umce,

testing deadlines can be found posted on the Guidance Office bulletin
board in Room 109.
During these first weeks of school, many organizations are campaigning for new members. Throughout the year, news of these organizations will appear in the various announcements, as will other news
items. Thus, the NILEHILITE urges faculty and students alike to fully
utilize the communication system at Niles East.

“In order to realize this poten

that many important decisions will
be up to students throughout the
school year. When asked about the

Mr. Colver replied that its success

School Spirit Needs Identification
Similarly, Mr. Colver spoke of
the often discussed topic of school
spirit in the sense of identification
with the school; according to him,
the truly school-spirited individual
is the one constantly identifying
himself with Niles East in terms
of his studies and activities.
EXETER MAGRUDER had risen fast, and at 27
was the vice-president of a large chain of dime
stores. He neither smoked nor drank, but he did
have one terrible vice. He was addicted to cherry
pie.
Exeter Magruder ate cherry pie at each meal
and on his coffee breaks. He searched diligently for
the best in cherry pies. He could be seen forking a
crust or sloshing a mouthful of cherries in the fin
est restaurants. He had become a connoisseur.
On his three week vacation, he decided to do
some skiing. In a small valley between two Alps, he
came upon a lonely chalet which, upon entering, he
found to be a restaurant. He ordered cherry pie.
After one bite, his eyes lit up. He devoured three
complete pies and shoved two more in his ruck
sack. He had finally found the perfect cherry pie.
When he returned home, poor Exeter could think
of nothing but that delicious cherry pie. Nothing he
ate, even in the most expensive restaurants, could
compare with that cherry pie. He grew pale, lost
weight, and fell behind in his work. On the verge of
a serious breakdown, he returned to Europe.
Exeter Magruder began what was to be a long

search for that lonely chalet. Then, one night he
spotted it beyond a snow-topped peak At that mo
ment, however, an avalanche swept him into a crev
asse where he remained for two days. His limbs
badly mangled, he was confined to a hospital bed
for six months.
Magruder then hired a helicopter to aid him in
the search. Over the Alps, however, the copter
blades frosted and the machine crashed. Exeter suf
fered a fractured skull and severe internal injuries.
During his recuperative period, he could think of
nothing but that chalet and that cherry pie.
Finally, when he had healed, he returned on foot.
He crossed many Alps, and spotted the small hid
den valley just before a blinding blizzard struck.
He wandered aimlessly for three days as the bliz
zard raged and when it eventually dissipated itself,
he was left standing a few feet from the chalet. He
triumphantly flung open the door and sat down.
“WHAT KIVD of pie do you have today?”
“ ’Ve got apple, banana creme, lemon merangue,
and chocolate creme.”
Magruder shuddered. “What, no cherry pie?”
“Ya — no cherry pie.”
“O.K.,” he sighed. “I’ll take apple.”

her friends, came to the United
States four weeks ago from Sao
Leopoldo, Brazil, where she attend

Jose. She qualified as an AFS stu

after taking numerous exams.
Cyrogs Host Nicky
“I wanted to come to America
to see with my own eyes the Ameri

explained the petite and vivacious
AFS student, “and to learn Eng
lish,” she added, with a laugh.
The Cyrogs will be Nick’s Ameri
can family this year, and according
to Nick, they are very similar to
her family in Brazil. Nick has two
American sisters, who are students
at Niles East, Jane, a senior, and
Patricia, a freshman. Peter Cyrog,
a college student, is Nicky’s Ameri
can brother.
Students Helpful
“Niles East is a wonderful school
and the students are very friendly
and helpful,” Nick observed. She
admits, “I was afraid at first, be
cause everything is all so strange
and yet so very important to me.
But the warm welcome at the as
sembly made me feel happy and
welcome.”

THERE IS A SAYING in foot
ball that on any given Saturday
any one team can win. Last Sat
urday, however, our team did not.
One word can describe the foot
ball game between the Trojans
and the Indians—sloppy. Yes, the
Indians did win by a score of 13-0,
but they aren’t that good a team.
All of the scoring was done in one
quarter, the second, with the last
touchdown coming with just a
minute left in the half.
It looked like the Trojans lost
the game on the line. Many a time
the Indian line swarmed on Quar
terback Neal Kamin, senior, when
he was trying to pass. However, a
loss cannot be blamed on any one
particular part of the team. Eve
ryone is responsible for a loss.

A PARAGRAPH should be given
about the sophomores who came
from behind last Saturday to win
an exciting ball game from West.
“IT’S A CHALLENGE to try to
improve East’s really outstanding
athletic program.” This statement
comes from Mr. Nick Odlivak,
new head of Niles E ast’s Physical
Education Department.
well coached by Mr. Virgil Van
Cleave and his staff, the sophs
seemed to get better as the game
progressed. Runners started to
gain good yardage as the blocking
became better.
As freshmen last year, this
group of players compiled the best
frosh record in the last eight years
at Niles. A big gun for the sopho
mores is halfback Barry Hart
stein, who kept turning the cor
ners against West until he finally
scored the winning touchdown.
The cross country team will
have a new coach this year in Mr.
Dennis Sneider, who previously
was the frosh-soph coach. Mr.
Sneider feels that the team can
win its first Suburban Leagud
Championship.
Although East came in a poor
t h i r d in the triangular meet
against North and West, the Tro
jans only had a few days to prac
tice while North and West had a
track program on all summer.
Since this is his first year as PE
head in his 11 years in the Niles
District, he has many program re
finements in mind for the future.
Among those already instigated
are mass calisthenics, “leaders’
classes,” and changes in locker
room procedure.
“THE LEADERS CLUB,” he
explained, “is to train boys to as
sist the instructors next year.”
About 35 sophomores and 35 jun
iors are how in the program. Mr.
Odlivak described a leader as one
