Pass-Fail Plan Useful
SCHOOL WAS ONCE thought of as merely a preparation for life.
In today's highly technical society, it is said to be life itself. A college
education is no longer a luxury reserved for the very wealthy or the
very brilliant. In fact, a college education is rapidly becoming an es
sential part of the lives of each member of the New Generation.
With the increasing emphasis placed on the importance of a college
education comes the increasing pressures put on high school students
to get into college. The pressures placed on high school students are
tremendous. Students are continually reminded, whether it be by par
ents, counselors, friends, teachers, or themselves, to get good grades,
to be active in school organizations, and to have a nice personalityall to facilitate a good recommendation for the sake of college ad
mittance.

colleges have introduced the pass-fail plan. Under this system, currently

he dolphin would mimic him perColleges adopting this experimental plan hope that the pass-fail
system will help alleviate the excessive pressures for grades and will
encourage students to delve into subjects not connected to their major
fields. Moreover, just as a good number of college students are bene
fiting from this system, the NILEHILITE feels that high school students
would also find the pass-fail system equally enhancing to their intellectual development. However, just as there are advantages to the situation, there are also disadvantages. Students, knowing that a D will
pass them, might do the least amount of work possible to facilitate
their passing. This would be defeating the purpose of the entire system.
IN ORDER TO AVOID such a situation, a high school could estab
lish experimental classes with interested and well-screened candidates
as members. Thus, only the genuinely interested students would be able
to take an extra major and not have to worry about the grade.
Still in its experimental stages, the pass-fail system needs more
study before complete acceptance in college and high school. But such
a system which alleviates the intense pressures for grades, while con
centrating on the knowledge gained and encouraging students to diver
sify their study, is an ideal educational system.
Niles Boasts Athletic Winners
"IT FEELS great to be a winner!"

rooms and around the corridors during the past several weeks. And
rightly so, for the success of our athletic teams, especially basketball,
has been surprisingly phenomenal.

Also, we would like to congratulate the other athletic teams —
wrestling, swimming, gymnastics, and fencing — and their coaches for
achieving their various victories this past month.

WHILE deciphering “Walden,” a curious thought
occurred to me. If Thoreau lived right now in Skokie,
not only would he probably attack every aspect of
our modern existence, but also today’s people, so
ciety, and laws would make it virtually impossible
for him to live the simple, hardy life in some serene
hut in the woods. There would be a curious counter
attack focused at him because of his actions or
speech.
First, let us see what problems Henry would
encounter in building his cottage. Park Commission
ers would certainly evict him for failure to have a
picnicking permit. Even if they were to agree to a
permit, Henry would have a hard time coming up
with a seven-hundred-and-sixty day picnicking per
mit. Anyway the carpentry union would still picket
him for being a non-union worker.
EVEN IF HE were able to build a house in the
forest preserve (let us presume the Bunker Hill For
est Preserve) he would still be in for more trouble.
In the fall, cross country runners would drastically
interfere with his beloved solitude. Every time he
emerged from his house it is likely that some high

equipment has been added to the
darkroom in the Graphic Arts Laboratory, Room 25, according to Mr.
William Meles, instructor of the
semester study of “the creative
science.”
Procedures Taught
Mr. Meles says the main objec
tive of the class is to learn how to
take good pictures properly, and
at the same time “to have fun
while learning something.” Most of
the time will be spent taking pic
tures, both around the school and
on field trips. Various photographic
techniques, special equipment and
darkroom procedure will also be
studied. By the end of the course
a student should be able to do al
most everything from loading the
film in the camera to displaying
the finished print.
Possibilities Told
In discussing the opportunities in
photography, Mr. Meles termed
them “unlimited.” Business, industry, and science all need skilled
photographers for a myriad of different, interesting jobs. The chances for travel and meeting people
as a free-lance photographer are
excellent, for both men and wornen. (This is the only industrial
arts course with approximately an
equal number of boys and girls.)

“Society is becoming increasing

MARK SO LO CK,
‘67, goes in for an easy layup shot against New Trier.
THE SWEET taste of victory
came to Niles East in a big gulp
last week as the Trojan basketball
team came on in a big, big way in
Suburban League play.
The cagers took its sixth game
in a row and its third straight SL
victory. In three games, played
within the last two weeks, Niles
has climbed all the way from the
cellar to fourth place in the con
ference.
Two weeks ago, Niles stymied
Highland Park fo: its first confer
ence win of the year. This put the
team in sixth place in the league.
The next weekend the Trojans had
back to back games scheduled
with Oak Park and New Trier.
Move Into First-Division
On Friday the Trojans defeated
score of 52 to 43 in a very exciting
meet, the swimmers nonetheless
put up a fine performance. First
place honors went to Senior Bob
Simon, team captain, in the 50yard freestyle; to ;Senior Ken
Stone, 400-yard freestyle; and to
the 400-yard freestyle relay team
composed of Junior Tom Harring
ton, Senior Al Greenfield, Senior
Rich Miller, and Simon.
In the Oak Park meet last Fri

Swimmers Fail in SL M eets;
Hopeful in Morton East Encounter
The varsity swimming team,
trailing the Suburban League with
a disappointing 0-4 record, looks
to tonight’s SL meet against Mor
ton East with renewed optimism.
According to Coach Don Larson,
the varsity tankers have fared well
in non-league competition, winning
two meets thus far. In their 69 to
26 victory over Elmwood Park, the
swimmers captured first place fin
ishes in nine out of 11 events. The
swimmers took seven firsts in their
61 to 34 Lake Forest win.

the Huskies 79-73 and for the first
time moved into the first-division.
To stay there, however, the cagers
had to defeat the New Trier Indi
ans in a home game the next night.
New Trier is the defending league
champion, was a member of the
Elite Eight in last year’s state fin
als, and is a team that Niles hasn’t
beaten for the last six years.
the 50-yard freestyle, Harrington
won the 200-yard individual med
ley, and Junior Sam Warshawer
captured first in the 100-yard
backstroke.
Efficiently helping out the var
sity squad have been several out
standing sophomores. A consistent
scorer is Jim Hawkins, who broke
the varsity school record for the
100-yard breast stroke with an ex
cellent time of 1:06:6, possibly
qualifying him for state competi
tion. Other sophs aiding the var
sity include Paul Katz, 50-yard
freestyle, and Wayne Thomas, 100yard backstroke. In addition, Soph
omore Coach Romayne Baker looks
to Freshman Jim Simon as a quite
promising freestyler.

THESE ARE mighty impressive
facts, but New Trier unaccountab
ly is having its troubles this year
and the Trojans are playing the
best basketball of the last few
years. The team, a determined
one, went out and played its best
game of the season and demol
ished the Indians 80-64.
Well Played Game
It was an extremely well played
game by the Trojans and one in
which they didn’t lose their cool
against an aggressive half-court
press put on by the Indians .
The ability of the team to break
the press spelled success for the
Trojans. Several times the Trojans
worked through the press and spot
ted men under the basket for easy
scores.
A press is supposed to force a
team into silly mistakes resulting
in scores for the other team. But
the Trojans did not commit these
mistakes and therefore won the
game.
Tonight the Trojans will shoot for
Super Seven as they play Morton
East at home. The Mustangs are
currently in sixth place in the
SL standings.

The number seven is a pretty famous one. There’s the drink SevenUp, there are seven days in a week, and there was the motion picture
“The Magnificent Seven.” The number seven, considered a lucky one,
also figures in the “Seven-Year Itch,” “Snow White and the Seven
Dwarfs,” and there was even a war that lasted Seven Weeks.
Tonight Niles will try to introduce its own phase, “Super Seven.”
The term stands for the basketball team ’s try for their seventh win in
a row.
Victories Start

is eagerly awaiting the opening of
its 1967 season Thursday, February 2; when it clashes with the

the team has been getting in

The string of victories started in the Niles North Holiday Tourna

The tournament was the turning point for the team.
Going into the tourney, the team could not be called a high one in
spirit after dropping three games in a row. After they took the cham
pionship, however, they had more confidence than Stokely Carmichael.
Confidence isn’t the only thing that has carried the Trojans over High

They’re has been vast improvement on the team by all members,

Solock started off the season poorly but bounced back in the Tour
