THE INCREASE IN reading skills are due to the efforts of Ms. Barbara Theobold, Reading Instructor, and the 107 students who volunteered to work during their free time in the Reading Center. Students who took courses in the cen­ ter first semester had an average read­ ing score gain of 1.2 years, as measured by the Nelson-Denney Reading Test, ac­ cording to Ms. Theobold and Dr. James Richter, Student Services Director. This is a large increase because during the first semester, students only are ex­ pected to rise an average of four months in their reading skills. “I think the main reason the stu­ dents are showing improvement is that their attitudes are changing. I try to deal with each student individually, and gear their reading program to their interests and abilities,” Ms. Theobold commented. THE STUDENTS WHO WORK in the Reading Center don’t receive credit; the work is voluntary. All students are in­ vited to use the center, including those with reading problems, and those who simply want to increase their reading speed and comprehension. In addition the center is equipped with “books on tape” and speed reading ma- chines which help both the remedial reading and those trying to increase their reading speed. Students insert a tape in a speed reading machine, which pro­ jects a book, line by line, on a wall or screen. Students can adjust the speed of the machine, and can easily measure their progress. “Books on tape” allows students to listen to a tape recording of a book while they follow along in their own copy. The Academy Awards Assembly of Easthi was held at the end of the se­ mester. BEST FILM AND BEST DIRECTOR awards were given to Norm Christopherson and Carol Greenspahn for Guilty Conscience. Carol Greenspahn, who acted as the victim and corpse in Guilty Conscience, also réceived the Best Actress award for ’75. Ralph DiBenedetto, for his performance as a drug pusher, won the honors of Best Actor. David Dichman and David Hyman earned the award for the Special Effects category. /The Best Story awark was given to Ralph DiBenedetto and Nick Lake. HONORABLE MENTIONS for film­ strips also were awarded to Cory Glaberson, Mike Meyer, Curt Uritz, Howard Terines, and Harry Steindler. Music events to be presented Several music events have occurred and more programs will be presented. The combined East and Triton Junior College guest artist percussion ensem­ ble was held on February 23. EASTHI ALUMNUS Shelly Elias, a faculty member of Triton Junior College, performed in the concert, which also fea- tured popular and modern music. Four vocal soloists and trumpet soloist were featured at a special or­ chestra and choir concert on February 29. They presented music written by Johann Sebastian Bach and Carl Philip Emmanuel Bach. Easthi students hosted the Illinois High School Association ensemble and solo contest on March 6. Twenty-seven schools participated in the event with over 1,000 students performing. THE TROJAN MALE Chorus wiU par­ ticipate in the New Lenox High School Men’s Invitational on March 24. Enrollment in Orchestra has tripled, and enrollment in the choruses, Cham­ ber Choir, and Trojan Chorus also has increased, according to Frank Wink­ ler, Music Director. ..............

Also, it was obligated to ac­ knowledge the members of the Board of Education. These people were ac­ knowledged for their title. I suppose that, in and of itself, the simple fact that those people allow us to perform and use their facility merits an acknowledgement in our program. However, this high school is an educa­ tional institution and in order to fulfill its obligation to each student it should give each student the opportunity to de­ velop himself educationally as much as possible. Participating in any aspect of the theater is very much a part of any student’s education. Therefore, it is my belief that even though having a theater department is a privilege, it also is the school’s responsibility. Above and beyond that, and more to­ wards the purpose of this letter, is the fact that the administration and Board of Education should consider it a priv­ ilege to see a creation by “their” stu­ dents in its final stage. They should consider it an honor that “their” stu­ dents care enough to do their best, to work their hardest in order to enter­ tain their community, and learn some­ thing in the process. Yet Hosier was the only administrator who came to see “Reflections.” Lamb was quoted as saying, “I didn’t have time.” We worked six weeks yet he didn’t have one night. And the Presi­ dent of our Board of Education left dur­ ing the intermission without so much as a congratulatory remark to the direct­ ors, whom she was sitting next to. I realize that asking for an explana­ tion or an apology would be futile, but it is my hope that bringing this into the open will prevent this lack of respect for the students from ever happening again. Roy G. Biv Independent study unfair Dear Editor, I have just discovered that the ad­ ministration at this school gives no consideration to students who go ahead and work independently in their classes. They will not allow a student, such as myself, to take a class Independent Study in order to get credit for work already completed. They will not let a student come to class simply to take the exams, because she has already finished the classroom work, and again gain credit for work already completed. Yet they “encourage the student not to drop the class.” What kind of fool do they think I am? It would be stupid for me to totally waste my time, to sit in a class an en­ tire semester and do absolutely nothing. Yet that is what Mr. Hosier and Dr. Ray want me to do. Mr. Hosier suggests that I be given the advanced course, yet I would be taking a class and getting no credit or recognition on my transcript that I ever took the class. Why should I both­ er? For the educational value, right? Wrong. I don’t need the course, I want­ ed to take it. I also don’t need the has­ sle that this school is giving me. Well, Mr. Hosier, you won this round. But it only shows that you don’t care how your views or policies hurt the students. Nancy Angell ’76 Homerooms too noisy? Dear Editor, Don’t you think it is necessary to hear announcements of school activities so one can show up at the right time and place? Didn’t Mr. Galen Hosier initiate daily homeroom so announcements could be read and listened to, and hope­ fully the students would increase their interest in the school? Well, I personal­ ly find listening to the announcements everyday is harder than my chemistry class. My teacher cannot keep the stu­ dents quiet for long, and obnoxious guys throw spitballs across the room. I al­ ways miss things which are announced. Just last week an important meeting for Project SAGE was held and I was not there because I never heard the an­ nouncement. I wonder how long this will continue. One day I got so mad at my homeroom I yelled, “Shut up!” and one guy just looked at me and laughed. The solution? I don’t really know. I am ex­ pressing my feelings through this let­ ter hoping someone will understand and maybe one day some action will be tak­ en. If Hosier put huge amplifiers in every homeroom so announcements would sound something like a rock star screaming at the audience, maybe some of the constant talking would stop. Or maybe homeroom teachers should stand in front of the class with a hand gre­ nade and say, “One word and I ’ll blow your head off!” Name Withheld Upon Request History class views movie Dear Editor, Recently our history class had the privilege of viewing an outstanding mov­ ie. “1776” was an inspirational, as well as educational, way to spend class time. We wish that more of this type of ex­ perience were offered at Niles East. The need for well made movies in our school is great. Many students can better ap­ preciate history when it is taught in such an entertaining, painless way. We commend all of the people who were in­ volved in the presentation of this film, and we hope that more movies of this caliber will be shown in the future. Per­ haps an all-school assembly could be arranged in order that such films could be seen in their entirety, rather than over a period of several days, an ap­ proach which detracts from the continu­ ity of the plot and minimizes enjoyment of the movie. Karen Chamerlik ’77 Gloria Price ’77 2.00 f\6o, TOOrtYj Not ON E D W E Tmivg O ND HAPPENED ? U SA’s struggle for independence celebrated in Bicentennial year Wait! Don’t stop reading because you think this is just another Bicenten­ nial story. This one is different. Instead of discussing all the reasons why the Bicentennial has become a commercial, money making, inflation raising, profiteering business, this article will relate some important reasons for celebrating America’s 200th birthday. THE GOOD OLD U.S.A. will never have another 200th anniversary. Cynical students must remember that the reason for this glorious Bicentennial celebration is to celebrate our country’s struggle for independence, and our forefather’s final victory in 1776. Most citizens will never see another cen­ tennial celebration. America is one of the youngest countries dominating the world today. The U.S.A. has gained world influence and power in a few relatively short years and has control and understanding with many other powerful nations. America, as a young country, has blossomed quickly into a nation which demands the respect and admiration of others. IN ADDITION TO THE BICENTENNIAL celebration, which will come to a peak July 4, 1976, Presidential elections will be held in November of this year. Although many citizens are apathetic about this election because of past governmental problems, voters of all ages should exercise their voting privilege. Remember, citizens will never have two chances to elect a President during a Bicentennial year. Yes, the Bicentennial has become a commercialized gimmick. However, the true meaning behind the celebration can still bring pride and enjoyment to citizens if they can keep themselves from being overcome by visions of red, white, and blue hats, coats, gym shoes, underwear, notebooks, and automobiles. Nilehilite staff fights losing battle Students, for the most part, and a few faculty members, are more than willing to criticize things here at East when they disagree with them, but few if any are willing to support a losing battle. When the East football team began to lose games, the attendance decreased to almost nothing. The same procedure fol­ lowed for most of the Trojan teams. However, the athletes are finally begin­ ning to get the recognition they deserve. WE, THE NILEHILITE STAFF, al­ though most students and teachers are unaware of it, also need support. The six members of the staff are having a lot of difficulty publishing a paper to meet the approval of the readers. Some­ times the whole production seems use­ less because the task appears impossible. Staff members are ready to quit be­ cause of the seemingly total disapproval or apathy of the school. It seems that many students would not care if there were no Nilehilite, or would even prefer to have the lack of a paper as one more thing to com­ plain about. In addition, the Nilehilite is experienc­ ing many financial difficulties, and, there fore, does not have the money to print a larger more extensive paper, with more coverage more often, as readers wish. The paper barely is able to meet with the requirements demanded by many local and statewide newspaper con­ tests. THE STAFF STRONGLY REGRETS its lack of ability to please some stu­ dents and faculty, and feel that they are doing the best they can considering the size and inexperience of the staff, financial difficulties, and reader apathy. If students would like to see a paper which would truly cover school and community activities of interest to the readers, the staff would appreciate sug­ gestions and ideas which would help to make the Nilehilite a paper which would truly serve the school as best it can. Honors point elimination affects students Four years ago the Administration made a move which most likely has affected the futures of many students. WITH THE ELIMINATION of the hon­ ors point, many students lost their in­ centive for taking honors courses. One of the primary complaints when the hon­ ors point was first dropped was that students who should take honors courses would no longer bother to do more work for no more credit. Therefore, these stu­ dents would take regular courses, rais­ ing the level of intellect in these classes and forcing average students to enroll in basic classes to keep up their grade point averages. Finally, basic students were left with nowhere to go, and faced more difficulty in their school work, as a result of the students with average intelligence enrolled in their basic class. However, many ambitious students still do take honors courses for the sake of higher learning. Freshmen and sopho­ mores, who have not yet learned how to be apathetic about their classes, gen­ erally take the most honors courses, along with many seniors who take Ad­ vanced Placement courses for college credit. THE LOSS OF THE HONORS point has affected the grade point average of students who were ambitious enough to take honors courses. Class ranks for more intelligent students are lower than they would have been four years ago because those students do not receive the benefit of the honors point. Basic students, or average students in basic classes, may have higher class ranks than students in honors courses because they may have received better grades in easier classes. These lower class ranks often keep deserving students from attending the better or more diffi­ cult colleges. The reinstatement of the honors point could only benefit the students of Niles East. Basic students would not suffer and honors students would benefit great­ ly. The Administration should review these facts and decide where their pri­ orities belong. Should basic students and honors students grades bear the same weight on student records and possibly affect their entire future by lowering their class rank? Students shold be graded on the amount of work they do; it is a known fact that honors students are given more, or more difficult work.

Besides learning the bas­ ic bookkeeping skills, they are learning how to use a keypunch machine. The keypunch machine is a large typewriter with some mod­ ifications. It punches data onto IBM cards, while operated by the students. These cards are sent to a master computer where the data is analyzed, and a printout is made. This print­ out is used to answer problems in the student’s computer ori­ ented Accounting workbook. Although the student learns only very basic computer skills, the experience of working a key­ punch machine is believed to be a valuable asset for the stu­ dent’s future. JANIS COHN, ’76, Sue Feld- man, ’76, and Patti Sucherman, ’76, will be directing one act skits which will be presented on February 19, 20. and 21, at 8 p.m. in the auditorium. Ad­ mission for the production is $1. FOUR BOOKS WERE do­ nated to the Niles East Library in memory of Terry MacDonald, ’78, who died in a car accident last April. The books were purchased with money collected last year by Terry’s friends. The novels donated include The Horse, The White Stallions of Vienna, Encyclopedia of the Horse, and A History of Horse­ manship. These books are pres­ ently on display in the show­ case outside the library and may be checked out by any in­ terested student. THE NILES EAST KEY CLUB has been very busy this school year. They started with a Peanut Day, which involved the efforts of 50 students and netted over $2,000. Lately the club has been busy planning and effecting eight major ac­ tivities. A Christmas party was held for the handicapped chil­ dren at Fairview South. Sixteen Key Club Members, a magician, a ventriloquist, Santa Claus, a clown, and a three-piece band all were on hand to help make the festivities more enjoyable. Pending administrative ap­ proval, the club is planning many more exciting activities including a three-man basket­ ball team tournament, a fifties day and dance, a telethon, sim­ ilar to the one that took place last year, to benefit spastic par­ alysis research, a dance m ara­ thon for muscular dystrophy, an Up With People assembly to be held in May, and possibly a benefit concert for leukemia by folk singer Steve Goodman. Any interested student is invited to attend the next Key club meet­ ing in the Coaches’ Lounge. Energetic manpower is required if these plans can be brought to life. THREE PEOPLE joined the faculty and staff of Niles East at the start of second semester. Tim Wolfram, band director, is replacing Mr. Jerry Berger, who resigned at the end of first semester. Wolfram taught at Niles West part time last year, while working on a master mus­ ic program at Northwestern Uni­ versity. A1 Becker taught at Easthi last year. He is back again this semester to teach John Madi­ son’s drafting and metals class­ es. Becker is a graduate of Northern Michigan University at Marquette. Sidney Bernell will be help­ ing students in the business Ed­ ucation and C.V.E. Resource rooms. Bernell is a retired sen­ ior citizen, who was hired un­ der the CETA program, which is designed to provide jobs in the school system for the re­ tired or under-employed. SIX EASTHI STUDENTS won individual awards, and Niles East placed second in overall school points at the Northwest Suburban DECA, a distributive education conference held Feb­ ruary 5. Pat Schoenwolf won first prize in the advertising com­ petition, Rick Hazen placed first in job interviewing, Gor­ don Liametz won second prize and Mike Ireving placed fifth in sales demonstration, Diane Polin won third prize and Sue Glick placed fourth for display. The Easthi DECA students also participated in statewide DECA competition early in March. Last year, Easthi placed second in the State. Shelley: a familiar Hollywood face By Sue Feldman Sue Shelley, former student of Niles East, daughter of actor Dave Shelley, Presidents remembered in many different ways By Sandee Morrison Some highlights on a visit to Washington D.C. may be the different Presidential memori­ als, but are these monuments the only things commemorating the existence of important American figures? In February, Americans re­ membered the birthdays of two of the most important presi­ dents of the United States. These men are Abraham Lin­ coln and George Washington. ABRAHAM LINCOLN, born February 12, 1809, was the 16th president of the United States. Among his many accomplish­ ments he helped free the slaves in the South. While he was alive many people knew he was a great man, but no one knew how great until after he died. The Lincoln memorial, locat­ ed in Washington D.C., is the most famous commemorative monument honoring Lincoln; however, this monument is by no means the only memorial. Many Niles East students at­ tended Lincoln Jr. High School, or they might have a Lincoln Continental in their garage. When leaving or entering Niles East, student and faculty members use Lincoln Avenue. What child hasn’t visited Lin­ coln Park Zoo? Many homes are carpeted by Lincoln Car­ pets, and Skokie’s neighboring community of Lincolnwood has over 20 businesses using the name Lincolnwood which is in actuality named for Lincoln. Lincoln’s Pump, Lincoln Stor­ age and Moving Company, Lin­ coln Paper Company, Lincoln Men’s Wear and Tailoring, Lin­ coln Medical Lab, Lincoln Con­ tract and Design, and the Lin­ coln Club all have the same in­ centive; by using the name Lincoln, sales will grow. An ex­ ception might occur if the pro­ prietor’s name is coincidental­ ly Lincoln. GEORGE WASHINGTON was born on February 22, 1732. He fought for American indepen­ dence and was the first Presi­ dent of the United States. Al­ though the Washington Monu­ ment was built to honor the first president, the city that it towers over, Washington D.C., is an even bigger memorial. Washington State is also a memorial to the first president. Niles East students once again may be commemorating another president and be un­ aware of it at the same time. The Niles East boundary con­ tains Washington Avenue, on which some students live. In­ cluded in lunch bags may be Washington apples, and on the dinner table Washington as­ paragus may be served with the meal. For dessert, what other than Washington pie, a layer cake with cream or fruit jam filling. The Washington Elm, a fam­ ous tree in Cambridge, Massa­ chusetts under which Washing­ ton took command of the Con­ tinental Army, the Washington Lily, mostly found on the Pa­ cific Coast of the United States, and the Washington Palm are three of nature’s memorials for Washington. ONE OF THE MOST famous bridges in the U.S. is named for Washington, as is Mount Washington, in New Hampshire. The memorial list for these two great men is virtually end­ less, but perhaps by pointing to a few of them people will be more aware, in this Bicentenni­ al year, and they will think about the great accomplish­ ments that Abraham Lincoln and George Washington fought for. Actor Dave Shelley, father of former student Susan Shelley, ’76, has become a familiar face to Hollywood directors and tele­ vision viewers. Shelley, who moved his fami­ ly including his wife, son Alan, and daughter Susan, to Califor­ nia last summer, has recently appeared on The Rookies, Doc, Police Woman, Starsky and Hutch, The Waltons, Rhoda, and Movie of the Week; Murder on Flight 502. He can also be seen on a future episode of SWAT, entitled, “The Soldier on the Hill.” SHELLEY, WHO WAS born and raised in Chicago, gradu­ ated from Roosevelt High School. Although he was in­ terested in theater at the time, he never received a part in school productions. After high school he attended Roosevelt College to study den­ tistry. “That lasted for one year, then my father discovered that a career in mouths wasn’t for him,” commented Susan. GOODMAN THEATER be­ came the next school in Shel­ ley’s life where he spent three years and received his Bache­ lor’s degree. After extensive training in classic theater, he furthered his career in Bur­ lesque as a straight man, sing­ er, and comic for three years. A moderate degree of success in this area encouraged him to pursue a career in theater. After spending the next two years doing theater stock he de­ cided “A person couldn’t act and eat at the same time,” and retired from the stage to move to a conventional life in sales. He eventually worked in the photographic sales field, and with a wife and two small children, he decided to go back to his first love; professional theater. He spent the next 13 years in Chicago doing commercials, industrial train­ ing films, educational films, musical comedy, and live in­ dustrial theater. “An industrial show is com­ piled of songs and sketches used at a convention or mass meeting of a company to in­ troduce a new product,” ex­ plained Susan. “Actors like the money but they might become artistically frustrated from singing love ballads to a tractor or washing machine. In one show that my dad appeared in, American Standard Plumbing Fixtures was the star. Can you imagine an entire show revolv­ ing around toilets, sinks, and showerheads?” Shelley decided to move to California to further his career as an actor. “He got tired of always playing second banana to a product in a commercial or industrial show,” explained Su­ san. SHELLEY RECENTLY FIN­ ISHED filming a pilot for a new daytime series entitled “The Marriage Counselor.” The pro­ ducer is presently in New York trying to sell this pilot to one of the three major networks which seem to be interested. In this show, which would air five times a week, Shelley will star in the title role. “We have not received the final word yet but the chances look very good,” revealed Susan. Dave Shelley has recovered from the temporary disappoint­ ment that was caused when he did not make his high school productions, and has advanced from singing to toilets to a star role in a possible serial. Attention seniors: If you have not completed your senior surveys, please «nigh them by March 26, and deposit them in the box in the main office. In addition, please include the name, city, and state of the college you plan to attend.

This was the first high school girls basketball game in Illinois broadcasted on the rad­ io. The high scorers for the Tro­ jans were Karen Behr with 17 points and Andi Slowik with 10. According to Coach Jean Wojdula, the team’s free throws were weak. “THIS WAS A TOUGH game, comparable to that of the Ev­ anston game. We never gave up. Our press and teamwork was good, and everyone helped in the scoring.” The JV beat Waukegan 34-31. The high scorers for the JV were Jan Blitt with 14 points and Debbie Precht with seven points. With less than one minute to go, the sco^e was 30-31 with the Trojans behind, and Jill Chavin stole the ball and drove in for the layup putting the Trojans ahead. Val Scheinpflug then contributed two points to put the game out of reach. “THE JV PLAYED like a team. Their defense was good, and their shooting has improved greatly,” Coach Wojdula said. The JV lost to Deerfield on Friday, February 20, 32-24. Ac­ cording to Coach Wojdula, their passing was inaccurate, re­ bounding poor, and they trav­ eled too much. The varsity beat Deerfield 5532. According to Coach Wojdula, the teams’ strengths were shoot­ ing, rebounding, and defense. “Our ball handling needs work.” Both the varsity and JV lost to Evanston on Thursday, Feb­ ruary 19. The varsity was de­ feated 51-49, and the JV lost 25-19. “I WAS PLEASED and proud of both teams. I was impressed by our sportsmanship. We dis­ played what a first class team we are,” Coach Wojdula said. They compete against Glenbrook South away, today at 4:30 p.m. Next Friday, they play Glenbrook North at home at 4:30 p.m. Varsity gymnasts win district meet By Bruce Goldberg Easthi’s varsity gymnastics team captured first place in the District meet held here on Feb­ ruary 20. Four other teams participated including Evanston, Lane Tech.,. Maine South, and West. The Trojans scored 133.71, followed by West with 122.73. MATT ROSENBERG earned a second place medal in free exercise with a 7.4, and Chris Besser, scoring 6.9, took fifth. Steve Smith captured second place on pommel horse with a score of 8.1, while Craig Gordon took sixth. High bar was next, and Dan Kessem earned a 7.35, and a second place medal. Three of Easthi’s gymnasts placed in the top five on Trampoline, includ­ ing John Carlson who took first with an 8.45. Randy Hertel (7.55) gained fourth, and Steve Borkan (7.50), placed fifth. Carl Taibl tied for third on parallel bars with Gregg Spitz of West, while Steve Seplowin scored a 6.8. Dave Abrahamson scoring 8.35 took second in rings. Brian Austin placed fourth with 7.70, and Ron Weinert took fifth. “DISTRICTS WAS THE high­ light of the season . . . they outdid what I expected,” com­ mented Coach Tom Sokalski. Rosenberg had an all-around average of 5.31, and captured fourth, while Bill Saputo took sixth. Craig Martin of Maine South placed first with an 8.28. In the sectional meet on Feb­ ruary 28, East placed third (130.23), behind Elk Grove (142.36), and North (141.64). Two gymnasts advanced for the Trojans, John Carlson, and Randy Hertel. They both scored 8.0 on trampoline. “They did very well in light of the youth of the team.
