Reflections In A Mirror Examines People
After more than four months
of ideas, creations, and plans,
a show is born! “Reflections in
a Mirror,” Niles East’s annual
variety show, opens on Thurs
day, November 11, and con
tinues Friday and Saturday,
November 12, and 13, in the
Niles East auditorium, begin
ning at 8 p.m.
Last June, Judy Fields, ’72,
and Jeff Ortman, ’72, were
chosen to direct Reflections ’71’72. They in turn selected five
people for the writing commit
tee, Nora Winsberg, Bob Klein,
Michelle Kulwin, Jef Block, and
Laura Black, secretary. Other
members of the board of direc
tors include John Fish, musical
director; Gary Hart, assistant;
Debbie Deitch and Amy Gins
berg, choreographers; Richard
Weil, business manager; and
Robert Vander Kloot, technical
director.
ALL TOGETHER 400 TAL

show work. The cast consists
of 170 enthusiastic workers. The
music is performed by thirty
musicians in the Stage Band.
Last, but not least, are the
men behind the scenes. Some
230 students are working on
lighting, stage crew, pinrail,
painting and construction, art
council, properties, publicity,
make-up, tickets, and costumes.
The many sets for the show
are created and designed by
the designing committee con
sisting of Paul Goode, Bob
Sataloe, Arlin Robins, Sharon
Eskoff, and Janet Williams.
Ruth Zimmerman was chosen
assistant to the directors.
THE GREAT VARIETY OF
NUMBERS in the show basic
ally are concerned with people
and their personality using such
feelings as revenge, shyness,
and jealousy. Some of the mu
sical numbers in the show
include “Up With People,”
“You’ve Got A Friend,” “Easy
To Be Hard,” and “Does Any
body Really Know What Time
It Is.”
Tickets go on sale in the
Auditorium lobby box office
next Tuesday during periods 6,
7, and 8. As of Monday, No
vember 8, tickets will be avail
able in the cafeteria during the

Directors Take Over
From Our Readers
Student Legislature is researching the administrative move
from department heads to directors of a few departments, and
eventually will take a stand on the issue representing the whole
student body.
The past few weeks, the legislature has invited different
speakers to come and give their views on the change. Among
the guests were Dr. Colver, Dr. Robert Roth, Mr. James Dough
erty, Dr. Barbara Ray, and Mr. Richard Miya. Other speakers
have been invited for the near future.
THE STUDENTS IN THE LEGISLATURE feel they want to
take a stand on this issue because many of them have strong
feelings of how it will effect their education. Some people seem
to think it will be detrimental, because there isn’t a close correl
ation between the teachers and the directors, and between the
students and the directors.
Last year students were able to have more voice in deter
mining the department curriculum. Now it is up to the directors
along with teachers’ advisors, but that’s just another channel
for the students to investigate, and most likely their opinion will
get lost in the shuffle. Now the directors have so many other
jobs that it will be a long time before they begin changing the
curriculum for the students’ benefit.
ONE OF THE MAIN CONCERNS of the students is that the
quality of education will decrease because the teacher’s attitude
will decline.
The managers recruit and hire teachers, develop programs
and curriculum, supervise student clubs which extend from their
departments, evaluate teachers, work with student, staff, and
parent committees, and remove obstacles which prevent teachers
from doing their best work — for example getting the right
materials. How can they do all these jobs for three departments
and give the required attention needed to the departments in
dividually?
AT LEAST WITH DEPARTMENT HEADS they were respon
sible for only one section specifically and were able to do their
jobs more carefully. Another problem is that the people the
administration selected to be directors aren’t very knowledgeable
in the subjects they direct. What does Dr. Ray know about
Industrial Arts, that any other ordinary person doesn’t know?
Therefore, how can she evaluate these teachers fairly or under
stand their problems if she doesn’t have a formal understanding
of the subjects? Mr. Miya felt a director should be quite familiar
with the subject in order to plan the master schedule, to know
how teachers can best serve their students, and to help them
accomplish this goal. If the same relationship will not prevail
between students, teachers, and administrators, students will
suffer.
The administration saw the need to make this change because
it was felt that the department heads were not objective, the job
involved too much responsibility and paper work, and undoubtedly
the change was intended to save money, which is very selfish
on the part of the administration.

Friday, O cto b er 2 2 , 1971
Dear Editor,
I, being of sound mind and
body would like to make a com
plaint to the administration,
faculty and Homecoming com
mittee. Recently there was a
vote for Homecoming court. Stu
dents walked into the cafeteria
during their lunch periods to
vote for their favorite guinea
pig. Obviously their effort was
in vain. There has been serious
controversy relating to one par
ticular but vital incident. As
rumor has it, one girl, the chair
man of the committee (but we
won’t mention any names, you
know who you are), took the
ballots home to count. Later
that night the (cough, cough)
lucky ones were called, in order
to get their pretty dresses in
time for the joyous dance. Let
me ask you, what kind of dem
ocratic government, what kind
of do—unto—others policies are
we taught?
I PERSONALLY FEEL that
this was an unjust doing on the
part of the girl and very poor
planning on the part of the
faculty sponsor.
There should definitely have
been a re-vote in Dr. Colver’s
office with armed guards posted
outside the door.
This is my last year at this
school. Before I leave I feel
that I ought to know how you
can expect to achieve what you
all are trying to push on us in
the way of school spirit when
the highlight of the football sea
son, Homecoming, is a farce.
Which way do we go?
With hope,

A few weeks ago, while listening to one of the local pop-rock
radio stations during its news break, I heard a student from
Niles East giving his view on a controversial issue. This young
man, who claimed to be a sophomore, began by saying that
teachers at Niles East, although they had agreed upon a contract
with the school board, were, in his opinion, underpaid. Fine, I
can agree that maybe teachers are underpaid; they feel they
deserve more, but don’t most people feel they deserve more
than they are paid . . .
MY ADRENALIN LEVEL didn’t begin to rise until this boy,
(who doesn’t deserve to go to a school as good as East), stated
his agreement that teachers should be paid more, but because
they teach at Niles East.
My personal interpretation led me to conclude that he felt
because Niles East was the lousy school it was, the amount of
pay teachers receive should reflect conditions they teach in. I
direct only one question to this young man, (who probably hasn’t
been at East long enough to notice that it isn’t exactly an inner
city school). “Do you think teachers who work on the west side
of Chicago in schools like Marshall, Austin, Farragut, and others
get paid for getting knifed in the classroom! I think you’d better
take a look around your halls, your classrooms. Are there many
broken windows, or unheated classrooms, fights in the halls?”
If you really opened your eyes, buddy, you’d find out that your
school isn’t half as bad as you make it out to be! The school is
working, and trying hard to please you, the student. The admin
istration is practically giving you everything you want, and you’re
complaining about conditions—I feel real sorry for you!
re Crushed!
A local bus company certainly is doing its part to combat
air pollution! They stuff their busses over the seating capacity
and call it a normal load, so one less bus is put into operation.
Sounds good, huh? Less busses in operation, less pollution, right?
That may be true, but there is one other problem the “top brass”
at the company has overlooked.
TRYING TO FIT 71 PEOPLE (which was the number of
students packed on one after-school bus) on a bus which has a
capacity of 66, is comparable to trying to fit 6 elephants in a
Volkswagen. One can’t imagine the discomfort of having a 300
pound football player standing on a toe; or the displeasure of a
student who has just come from gym class sitting on top of one,
unless it has been experienced by the student himself.
When the bus capacity was decided upon, the company must
have considered all riders as four feet tall, and weighing a scaletilting sixty pounds. Yes, some kindergarteners fit that descrip
tion, but it is highly unlikely that those are the personal vital
statistics of any Niles East student!
PEOPLE SAY THAT IT IS SCHOOL, as an institution which
molds all students the same, but it also can be said that the
bus company does the same. After a bus ride, observe; everyone
who gets off is six inches shorter, after being stepped on, and
three feet smaller in diameter, due to the constant pressure
from all sides.
But it isn’t really that bad. The bus company is keeping
up with today’s trends. In fact, their slogan is the well known

AUTUMN, ALONG with bringing the anticipaton of Home
coming to Niles East brought a change to a small percentage of
the student body; the group which suddenly turns vivacious,
friendly, and overly-nice is the small select group of girls running
for Homecoming court.
Passing one of the members of “the group” in the hall is
an entirely new and different experience. One thinks to himself
as he passes her by, and expects to be snubbed, boy, what a snob!
Oh, but what a pleasant surprise it is when she says hi, and smiles
so prettily, for the first time since her acquaintance was made.
It doesn’t take much to figure out, though that there must be a
motive behind her sudden sweetness . . . and then tomorrow as
she circulates her petition for the Homecoming court, it all comes
back, and makes sense. A sigh is let out, and then-aha! no
wonder she was so sweet yesterday.
NO, NOT ALL of the girls are suddenly “Miss Sweetheart,
’71.” The girl who went to junior high and still remembers her
friends, names, and said hello whenever she met them in the
hall, may be the genuinely nice girl, who deserves to be Home
coming queen. But even she is difficult to find in the corridors
of Niles East, not walking with another member of “the group,”
and then will not say hello because she can’t associate with
those on the outside!
But don’t despair. After Homecoming weekend has gone, “the
group” goes back to normal, and ignores all those she did be
fore . . . there is a solution, though, and maybe it should be
considered for next year’s prospects. Being sweet two weeks
before the election hardly ever works. Girls, try to be nice the
whole year long . . . it won’t hurt at all!

why did they have to schedule

same time as the ACT test?

Dear Editor and Students,
I agree with the “N.E. Stu
dents Hard to Please” article
in the October 8 issue of the
Nilehilite. Why is it that stu
dents only complain about the
administration, the faculty, and
Niles East without trying to
remedy the situation in ques
tion? Why don’t the students
here realize it’s a privilege to
have as much freedom as our
school does? Students make fun
of the very organizations here
to help us; to make this a better
school for everyone, such as the
Student Appeals Board, Student
.Legislation, and rap sessions.
Yes, I agree that Niles East
students are very hard to
please. As the aforementioned
article states we get just about
everything we ask for, but
there’s always got to be some
thing to complain about. It’s not
everyone; probably just a mi
nority of students, but they
seem to make the most noise.

English Student Notes Contrasts
by Michelle Kulwin
How would you like to wear a
uniform to school? Or, how does
a religious assembly every
morning sound to you?
The English school that Pat
Stanley, Niles East’s AFS stu
dent, attended features both uni
forms and religious assemblies.
And, according to Pat, England
and the United States are dif
ferent in many other ways, too.
NO AMERICAN-TYPE high
schools as such exist in most
parts of England. Instead, after
attending a primary school until
he is eleven years old, a student
takes an examination called the
11 plus. Success on this test
permits him to attend a gram
mar school for sixth to twelfth
graders, and failure on it will
place him in a secondary school.
Grammar schools emphasize
academic subjects and second
ary schools help the student
learn a practical trade. Stu
dents who fail the 11 plus exam
ination the first time have
another opportunity to be re
tested; they may take a test
called the 12 plus the following
year.
Pat commented that English
grammar schools offer less than
Niles East with a smaller selec
tion of courses, and fewer extra
curricular activities.
Social Activities Differ
A favorable place for British
kids to relax on the weekends is
the local pub, although they
aren’t supposed to drink until
they’re 18. Local dances or
movies are other favorite places
to go on weekends.
Pat said that English fashions
have been way ahead of Amer
ican ones, for example, English
girls were wearing hotpants
earlier last year. She remarked
also that English girls dress up
more, “not as much jeans.”
They are wearing midis and hot
pants now.

Language Varies. Too
National variations in the
E n g l i s h language comprise
another cultural difference. For
example, the English refer to an
elevator as a lift, jello as jelly,
jelly as jam, and (would you
believe > a car hood as a bon
net!
HOW TO SUM IT all up? Pat
remarked that Americans seem
to have a more active way of
life. “American kids seem to
get around more. They always
seem to be doing something,”
she concluded.

EVEN THE FOOD served in
England is different. Pat re
marked that such foods as steak
and kidney pie, Yorkshire pud
ding with roast beef, sponge
cake, and tea with milk in it
are often found on English
tables. However, Americans are
more apt to enjoy watermelon,
squash, pizza, hamburger and
hot dog relishes such as ketchup

When I could not purchase a

with such infamous words,
“don’t you have any school

if the queen does? Instead of 25
girls disturbing lunches to have

nomination, why don’t they pre
pare a speech or a critique —
anything to alert the voter of
who they are, what their qual
ifications are and why they
want to become queen.
SINCE THE QUALITIES of
nice clothes and popularity can’t
be stretched too far, many girls
would be naturally forced out of
the running, and only the sin

In any case the students would
know who the candidates are

might sincerely want to vote. A

would represent the whole stu

The little boy searches for a guiding light,
Which will guide him to his destiny this cold dreary night,
No one cares, who gives a damn where he is,
The house is cold, without love, where he lives.
He’s walking and searching for this guiding light,
Which will guide his future and may make it bright,
But his feelings are torn between loneliness and hate,
Where is this guiding light which will show his fate.
Can it be found in the house of another,
Where a child is secure, and receives love from his mother, %
Or must he search until he dies,
2
“Where is my guiding light?” the young child cries.
£
Then for a moment he hears a voice from above,
“Child, this guiding light is love,”
“Without it your future will be dark and dim,”
But then God gave the gift of love unto him.

Legendary “All Saints Night”
Kids are “higher than a kite”
On October thirty-first
From Coast to Coast
As the revelry does burst
American childhood fantasy we toast
W o rd s o f a Juvenile C o u rt Judge
Always we hear the plaintive cry of the teenager:
“What can we do?”
“Where can we go?”
The answer is clear;
Go home!
Hang the storm windows,
Paint the woodwork,
Rake the leaves,
Mow the lawn,
Wash the car,
Learn to cook,
Scrub some floors,
Repair the sink,
Build a boat,
Get a job!
Help the minister,
Help the Red Cross,
The Salvation Army,
Visit the sick,
Assist the poor,
Study your lessons,
and when you are not too tired, read a book.
Your parents do not owe you entertainment.
Your city does not owe you recreational facilities.
The world does not owe you a living.
YOU owe the world something. You owe the world your time,
your energy and your talents, so that no one will be at war,
in poverty, sick, or lonely again.
In plain, simple words: Grow Up!
Quit being a baby.
Get out of your dream world and develop a backbone, not a
wishbone, and start acting like a man.
You’re supposed to be mature enough to accept some of the
responsibility your parents have carried for years. They have
nursed, protected, helped, appealed, excused, tolerated, and denied
themselves the needed comfort, so that you could have every
benefit.
You have no right to expect them to bow to your every whim
and fancy. In heavens name, grow up and go home.
The time to forget is now.
All of those flowing feelings
moving within my body
will somehow have to vanish
burn themselves away — dis
appear
All in time.

“Love is very patient and kind, never jealous or envious,
never boastful or proud, never haughty or selfish or rude. Love
does not demand its own way. It’s not irritable or touchy. It
does not hold grudges and will hardly even notice when others
do it wrong. It is never glad about injustices, but rejoices when
ever truth wins out. If you love someone you will be loyal to him
no matter what the cost. You will always believe in him, always
expect the best of him, and always stand your ground in de
fending him. This type of Love goes on forever.”
To whom it may concern,

Saying goodbye is one of the hardest things for any individual
to do. It often is a very emotional experience and leaves its
scars long after the separation has been made. Days of loneliness
and depression follow the departure.
Hence, as a result of being left behind by close friends who
went away to school for the first time, is the product of moments
of loneliness, an open letter to those who left close friends behind.
“Days have passed since you left, but not one day slipped
by that I did not think of you, many miles away. Your letters seem
to convey that an adjustment had been made, and college life is
beginning to agree with you.
It isn’t quite the same as being at home, is it? With the
acquisition of more freedom, new experiences, and new friends,
the world seems to be yours!
Sure, you may get lonely sometimes, and think of what you
left behind. Though your dreams drift back to the way things
were before you left, you must remember that a change has
taken place; in you, and in those who remained, after you left.
When you return for the first time, I ’m sure you’ll see. Oh, sure
we’ll try to act like you’ve neve rgone . . . but no matter how
hard we try, it will never be like it was before. You’ve grown
up, and your needs have probably changed, too. I’m still praying,
though, that it hasn’t changed you so very much, that those who
played such a big part in your life before, won’t still hold some
special place in your heart. But if it is so, please have patience . . .
for we still need you, and probably always will . . .
I feel the capacity to care is the
thing which gives life its deep
est significance.
If you’re looking for a relative
ly inexpensive place to see the
bright lights, look at great art,
live in splendor, hear fine

erously to the children who are
giving their time to “Trick or
Treat for UNICEF.”
Children need to receive prep
aration for an active and useful
life, as well as protection from
various diseases, hazards, and
handicaps. Because of the low
level development of non-industrialized countries, the needs of
children cannot be met by the
family, community or state.
UNICEF contributes to the gen
eral development, to the inter
national understanding, and to
the cause of peace.
Only a small percentage of the
children in rural areas receives
health care due to the lack
of staff and finances. The infant
death rate is extremely high.
Most children die of respiratory
and diarrhoeal diseases, malnu
trition, and paristic infections.
Family size and the increased
rate of population are important
factors in the welfare of chil
dren. UNICEF offers family
planning as an aspect of health
services benefiting children.
MANY CHILDREN ARE mal
nourished or undernourished.
Protein and calorie insufficiency
is a main factor and has its
worst effect on those who need
nourishment for growth; such as
infants, young children, and
pregnant and nursing mothers.
Many countries are unable to
provide schooling for more than
half of their children of school

THE
UNITED NATIONS
International Children’s Emer
gency Fund was created in 1948.
At the beginning, it was devoted
mostly to meeting the post-war
needs for food and clothing for
the children of Europe. In 1948
UNICEF began assisting vac
cination campaigns directed
against tuberculosis epidemics
and it began to extend its aid
outside Europe to China and
other Asian countries.
In December of 1950, the
United Nations General Assem
bly directed UNICEF’s re
sources for the purpose of meet
ing the continuing needs of
underdeveloped countries. From
1956 to 1960, UNICEF launched
a world-wide anti-malaria cam
paign. This fight extended to
more than forty countries, and
from 1957 to 1965, the United
Nations Executive Board met
several times to establish new
and better programs of assist
ance.
The basic humanitarian im
pulse to help children live de

UNICEF aid. Approximately 690
million children under the age
of fifteen live in countries with
a national per capita income of
less than $500 per year. Children
under fifteen represent 40 per
cent of the total population in
developing countries.

Conflict Arises!
By Harvey Berns
Dear Sport Rap,
After two issues, there is still
no mention of what may be
our winningest team of the
season! I’m speaking of our
Girl’s Tennis Team of course.
So far they have won four
times against other schools in
the area, but nothing has been
said about them here in our
sports page. Are these just re
served for football and cross
-country (boys’ sports) or are
they to inform us of all sports
at East. If the girl’s Athletic
Department can’t give them
any more publicity at least the
Nilehilite can tell us where and
when they will play so we don’t
miss any more of our girls’
tennis action. The girls, I’m
sure, would like to see us out
there watching. If they do so
well in tennis, can’t we give
i
them a chance to play other
interscholastic sports, such as
volleyball and basketball. I’m
sure the girls who are active
and many others would enjoy
the opportunity.
By the way, now that I’m on
the subject of girls involvement
in sports, how about co-ed gym
classes.
Gym has gotten pretty dull
lately, and a few pretty faces
would really liven it up. When
they talked about the new boys’
gym program last year they
mentioned such elective sports
as tennis, roller-skating, iceskating, and volleyball. Along
with these sports that are tradi
tionally enjoyed by men and
women together, are such thing
as riflery, archery, and modern
dance. All these and many
others could be co-ed classes.
Is It For R eal?
By Jeff Lee
Professional basketball, along
with baseball, football, and
hockey, is one of the most
popular national sports in
America today. But should it
be? Many sports enthusiasts
around the country say no. Pro
basketball could be on the
verge of becoming a farce,
much as wrestling and roller
Jerby are today. Why?
CONSIDER THIS FACT: The
average height of all forwards
and centers in the NBA is be
tween 6’8” and 7’2” . Guards are
seldom smaller than 6’2”. Al
most all players are able to
stuff, a form of shooting where
the ball is pushed through the
rim of the basket. This par
ticular shot is extremely hard
to miss and even harder to
defend against. While witness
ing a seven-footer perform this
^ k ill, it enters the mind that this
« » la y e r could execute it every
I time he got his hands on the
I ball. Wilt Chamberlain proved
it in one game when, in his
prime, he scored 100 points.
I Now, if each center continually
stuffed every time he had the
ball, couldn’t they all score
close to 100 points each game?
The answer is probably yes.
Many will argue this point
with the following: What about
the outside shooting and ball
handling of the guards, isn’t
that true basketball skill?
Well, yes it is, but what about
the times when a team really
needs points? Couldn’t the
guards make it easier on the
team by simply passing to the
center for a sure two points on
a stuff shot?
ANOTHER PROBLEM in the
NBA is the fact that many small
but nevertheless important fouls
are not called, although obvious
to all, including the refs. In
stead of taking the allowed IV
2
steps on a layup, many players
will take 2 Y steps but are not
2
called for it. Is this the proper
I procedure for a popular national
Perhaps the best form of
basketball is seen in high
school. The school rivalries are
great, and the game is a true
challenge for high school play
ers not only as individuals, but
also in the form of a concerned
team effort. Stuffing is not per
mitted, all fouls, whether minor
or major are called, and the
competition and action is gen
uine. The same holds true for
college basketball.
Many adjustments have been
suggested to improve profes
sional basketball in general.
One proposition is to raise the
basket from the standard 10 feet
jto 12 feet. This could never
work, because pros would no
longer be pros. For them, it
would be like learning a whole
new game because their shoot
ing and timing would be com
pletely thrown off. The best
proposal so far is to make
three distinct sections on each
half of the court; one section
close to the basket, one at mid
range, and the last one farthest
away. A shot made from the
closest section is good for only
one point, the mid-range is good
for two, and, as practiced in
the ABA, the long shot is worth
three points. With this ruling,
the stuff would become less
common, and professional bas
ketball could once again be for
real.
But every time something like
this comes up it gets tossed
out. I challenge the P.E. De
partment to come up with a
reason why we can’t have lim
ited co-ed gym. I hope they
can refrain from using such
reasons that I’ve heard before,
like “We can’t have roller-skat
ing because they don’t know
how to treat the floor!”
I’m looking forward to their
response in the next issue.
S.R.L. ’72
Dear Sport Rap,
First, I’d like to say that
Sport Rap is a very good idea.
Unfortunately, most of the stu
dents don’t care two cents about
the newspaper. The only stu
dents that write in are the ones
who read the Nilehilite. Those
are the students who do some
thing about it rather than the
others who just talk about it.
I am glad that the Nilehilite
took a positive approach to try
to get students involved. You
are trying to get the students
to have a positive attitude to
ward the school and the school’s
sports. You did your part, now
it’s up to us.
J.M. ’73
Dear Sport Rap,
After reading the first two
issues, I find it hard to under
stand why there is so little
attention given to cross coun
try. Either the paper has little
regard for this strenuous activ
ity, or they just have slipped
up on it.
Come on Nilehilite Sports,
let’s have something written on
this subject. It may not be
football or some very large ac
tivity, yet it exists.
A Concerned Student
Class of ’73
WHICH HIGH S C H O O L
FOOTBALL TEAM can actually
lay claim to the No. 1 ranking
in the state of Illinois? Evan
ston rooters have the prep rat
ings backing them up. St. Rita’s
followers would claim their su
periority by their extreme pow
er in the tough Catholic League
and being the defending Chi
cago League Champions, and
then why not Lane Tech, start
ing another drive for their third
consecutive public league cham
pionship. There are several
other good examples, but these
three teams can illustrate the
situation quite convincingly.
THE BIG PROBLEM here is
these teams do not get a chance
to prove themselves, because
they are all in different con
ferences: Evanston in the Sub
urban League, St. Rita in the
Catholic, and Lane in the Pub
lic. Football is the only sport
in Illinois that does not have
statewide playoffs, or even in
the Chicago area, to decide
who is the actual champion.
This problem must cause some
controversy especially to the
schools who are involved.
The coaches of the teams I
have mentioned all expressed
their opinions on the subject.
All have good credentials to
give their evaluation on the
subject.
Murney Lazier, Evanston:
“There definitely must be some
thing done to arrange this situ
ation. A thesis has recently
been drawn up by a party from
Moline, but nothing yet has
been disclosed. In my opinion
divisions should be set up and
sectional champions would par
ticipate in playoffs until all but
two have been eliminated. A
special championship game then
would be conducted. Eleven to
twelve games in all would be
played.”
Pat Cronin, St. Rita: “All
coaches that I have talked with
agree there definitely must be
a way to decide who is cham
pion. If not statewide at least
Chicago Area so controversy
would not be as great. A pos
sible operation for this new
system could be a style sim
ilar to that of the Public League
playoffs. Playoffs would start
from late October and continue
for approximately four weeks
afterward. The size of a school,
enrollment wise, could also have
a bearing on how each school
is placed in the playoff system.”
A1 Manasin, Lane Tech: “I’m
sure if this situation could be
arranged all coaches would
agree to a fair playoff system.
Before anything can be done
though, all phases and sides of
the situation must be looked at.
A complete evaluation must
take place before any proposals
can be called into order. Every
thing must be together before
planning begins. As for a selfexpressed opinion of how the
playoff should be worked out,
it’s too early to give any real
ideas for it.”
Well, here are the facts. Now
it’s up to the Illinois High
School Association to do some
thing about this problem. Until
this is accomplished controver
sy will remain.
If you have any views on the
subject, give us a chance to
hear from you.
TennisT eamTriumphs ISoph’s W oe’s Continue

The Girl’s Interscholastic
Tennis Team chalked up its
third straight triumph after its
recent romp over Maine South.
The femme fatales jumped
neatly over the nets with their
Wilson T-2000’s tucked securely
under their arms, marching
once again over another victim,
which fell alongside Niles North
and Maine East.
It was the first time in nine

duty, optic yellow” tennis balls
are going to fly next week!
FRUSTRATIONS continued to
build as the sophomore Trojans
bowed to Highland Park and
Evanston by scores of 20-8 and
26-0 respectively. This extended
their losing streak to three
games.
A lack of offense has been
East’s major fault as it has
sputtered in recent weeks. At
quarterback, Rich Short, who
was the star of East’s open
ing game victory is now in a
platoon system with Leo Kelly.
Coach Jerry Ferguson is ob
viously trying everything to
find that winning combination.
It must also be noted that
several times while Kelly was
at quarterback Short was at
the half-back position. (This
could lead to several possibili
ties).
THE ONLY TROY TD that
has been scored in the losses
was by Ross Pollack, a de
fensive mainstay, who came
down with a deflected pass in
Highland Park’s end zone prior
to halftime. Following a fine
punt by Steve Neiss, the Giants
had the ball on approximately
their two-yard line. Giant quar
terback Russell Ivanhoe (who
threw two-touchdown passes in
the contest) tried going to the
air, but a strong pass rush
caused him to hurry his throw
which resulted in the deflected
pass and Pollack’s grab in the
end zone. The only highlight of
the offense’s attack was when
Mark Zinman ran for a twopoint conversion.

Jeff Netznik Eyes Receiver Downfield
In the Evanston contest, Wilkkit Joe Stewart scored three
times and had two others called
back as he was the dominant
force in the Wildkit victory. Full
back Robert Schwartz, and
quarterbacks John Lynk and
Terry O’Malley contributed to
Evanston’s well-rounded of
fense.
Though the winning totals of
the opposition have been of high
scores the defense has still done
a creditable job. They have con
stantly been put to a stern test
of not allowing the opposition
any points because of the of
fense’s incapabilities. Besides
Pollack, Paul Heinz and Ron
Hagen have helped mold the
defense together in making it a
Troy strong point.

yet to win a game as they fell to
Highland Park and Evanston by
scores of 18-6 and 15-6. The

Dan Dillon (who returned to his
quarterback position) began to
construct an offensive march
which was geared in tying up
the contest. Using Joe Kowalski
and Bob Manoni as a base at
tack, the Huskies approached
the East 28 yard line. On their
next play, quarterback Dillon
rifled a pass right into the hands
of Mark Wilkans. With .57 sec
\
onds remaining Niles had iced
up their second win of the 1971
campaign.
TWO WEEKS ago, Troy was
not so fortunate. For behind a
monstrous running game led by
backs Emery Moorhead, Kevin
Keith and Steve Greene the
Evanston Wildkits smothered
the Trojans by a score of 54-7.
The Kits put 33 points on the
board in the first half and were
never headed. An interesting
note is that Jeff Netznik had
210 yards passing in this very
one-sided affair.
TOMORROW the Trojans will
travel to southbound Cicero and
duel the vastly improved Morton
East Mustangs. An interesting
battle between QB’s Jeff Netz
nik and George Kokenes is ex
pected.

Personal Essay
The Question Remains
M
By Howard Meitzer
For all of us who attend
Niles East this year, attended
in the past, or even for those
who will attend East in the
future, we all share, have
shared or will share the com
mon experience of witnessing a
Nilehi sports event. Whatever
opinion one forms concerning
these events all of us are aware
that there are individuals who
hold their various high school
teams in high esteem. These
individuals whoever they are,
avidly follow their school
squads.
BUT, WHAT opinion would
It’s Fu n
For A ll
For the out-of-season athlete
and even for the out-of-season
non-athlete, Niles East offers a
wide range of intramural ac
tivities. From touch football all
the way to chess, any student
can find a place for himself in
the sporting world.
Last week, Phil Edelman,
Mike Chavin, A1 Ross, Dan
Baigleman, Hal Pineless and
Dave Cypin brought themselves
home trophies for their swim
ming abilities.
In the meantime, on the touch
gridiron, team captain Jim Cohn
led the “Cooks” to a first place
berth in the Frosh-Soph division
after defeating the “Byrams”
35-6. This gives the “Cooks” the
right to play the winner of the
junior-senior division which at
this moment is still up for
grabs.
It may be true that the com
petition is not as fierce as it is
when two schools meet each
other. And of course, the glory
and fame does not reach the
intramural hero. But to the
players themselves, there is a
great deal of pride involved.
Truly, the finest part about the
intramural sports is that it is
fun for all those who participate.
most of us have about these
people? Are we supposed to
laugh and ridicule them for
attending as many games and
meets possible? Or should we
commend these loyalists for
what they are doing?
If all of us can see the pur
pose and interest in what these
people seek to accomplish, then
let me say that they are “true
Niles East Sports fans.”
But at this time, I reach out
to the entire student body of
Niles in asking if it could do
this: Ask yourself, “Am I a fan,
am I a Niles East fan? Do I
try in my own personal way
to show my interest in East
sports? And even if I attend
these games, do I make a sin
cere effort to follow what is
going on?”

PRIOR TO my freshman
year, Niles East went to Peoria
and participated in the state fo:
baseball finals.. Hundreds of th
students went with their team,
as
skipping final exams in the th
process. The Trojans earned a in
position in tournament play by
upsetting several teams. It is an
evident that school spirit kept dii
Niles East’s march to victory as
from ending.
Between 1963-67 East didn’t D(
win a single football game (ex- ha
cept for an exhibition contest»fiva
with Niles North on September) jiinj
19, 1964) yet Troy followers | in
kept the ever-fading hopes of I
winning alive. The same is true j
for basketball.
Yet if you attend the games, da
can you still claim to be a real pri
fan? Do you keep track of what at
is going on? If someone asked
you, would you know what hap
pened previously? The real
question is why do you go to
the games? Is it because your
friends are there and you want
to make an impression? Ask
yourself as to why you attend
the games at all.
FINALLY it is time to ask,
are you really a Niles East
fan? — and if so what kind:
die hard or dead?
