T me to thirk a bit right now
About all the fun- you’ve had,
For Graduation’s drawing near—
And gee, it’s kinda sad.
Take a look around you;
T ink of what you see.
It won’t be too much longer
Ynu won’t be filled with glee.
The study halls so lively,
Detention halls so gay,
And think of all the dances—
It seems like yesterday.
Remember football games last fall,
The yelling in the stands—
Calisthenics, pre-game kicks,
And ours, the band of bands?
Think of teachers, “ good” and “ bad”
And all the jokes you played;
How about at lunch time
Just, like a minor raid?
Debaters, singers, actors, too,
All represented here;
But now we 50’s leave it
And to the future peer.
This may sound sorta corny,
But really it’s, so true. • We never will forget good times <

No Loafing on Vacation
This V That —
Says Nilehilite Survey
“ But Mr. Donavan, I don’t understand
Pasteur’s experiments.” You may have
overheard this remark i f you were on
the third floor during ninth period re
cently.
It seems that Mr. Hussey was late
for his ninth-period biology class, so
in his absence the class seated itself on
the hall floor and Joe Donavan, senior,
took over.
He started by reading poetry; then he
switched to biology as Mr. Hussey turned
into view at the end o f the hall.
Joe gave the entire class “ A ’s” fo r the
day. A ll except Mr. Hussey— he got an
hour detention!
Working, traveling, going to summer
school, and loafing will keep Nilehi
students busy this summer, according to
a recent N ilehilite survey.
More than 50 per cent of the
student body intend to work at such
varied occupations as washing milk
trucks, pulling weeds, picking cher
ries, doing office work, repairing
books, and mowing lawns.
The most popular occupation with
freshmen is caddying fo r the boys and
baby-sitting fo r the girls. Juniors and
sophomores plan to sell vegetables, de
liver papers, and car hop. Most senior
girls will work in offices, while many of
the boys have planned construction jobs
fo r the summer.
Jean Votava and Marilyn Reiland, sen
iors, Charlene Eifler and Ruth Waehner,
juniors; and La Vergne Kathe, freshman,
will go on a dancing tour around the
United States with the Margot Koche
troupe.
Bob Hogan, senior, will work on
the C.N.W. Railroad, while Ray
Becker, also a senior, will work in a
Cadillac garage in Evanston for a
sponsorship to General Motors In
stitute of Technology. John Brown,
junior, will go with the Civil Aer
onautics Patrol to Chanute Field for
two weeks’ training, and Bob Wat
ters, junior, will spend his vacation
killing chickens. Jim D.lley, junior,
will don a fireman’s hat and drive
a fire engine in a kiddy park.
George Krueger, sophomore, will go to
Lake Forest fo r eight days as a Nilehi
Red Cross representative. Bette Ballantine, freshman, will do trick riding in
rodeos, but Don W alter intends to make
popsicles. Taylor Soper, sophomore, will
go to Culver Summer Naval School in

team captains are Rodney Barkow, Dor

Rodger Doyle, and Joyce Baumann. Ac
cording to John Bray, chairman of the
ticket sales, 175 to 185 bids are expected
to be sold.

District Tournament

!
The recent district baseball tourney
serves as a reminder of one of the bright: est spots in Nilehi athletic history. Two
years ago this month, May, 1948, was the
one and only time that Niles ever com
peted in the finals of the state base
ball tourney.
That season Coach Jim Phipps’ team
swept through the district and sectional
play to enter the finals. Amie Carlson’s
seventh-inning home run in the final
sectional game against East Rockford
set the stage for Nilehi’s appearance at
Tom Conner field in Peoria.
In the opening game, the Trojans met
Downers Grove High School, also of
suburban Chicago. Downers Grove leaped
to a 5-0 lead in the fourth inning, but
Hie Trojans took over from there and
eventually won in eleven innings, 6-5.
The next day a weary Trojan nine was
downed 7-2 by Granite City, eventual
state champions, but Nilehi fans will
probably always remember the special
fire alarm and send-off ovation given the
team from the parking lot as they de
parted for Peoria.

Chief Gabel Presents Tips
On Safety to Freshmen
“Carelessness costs so much,” said the
Moton Grove Police chief, Mr. Joseph
Gabel, when he spoke to the freshman
assembly about “Safety” on April 20.
“It is not the wrecked automobile which
is so costly as it is the life or injured
body.”
He listed points to remember when
riding a bicycle: one, ride single-file;
and two, don’t cut through gas stations.
He discouregad playing basketball in
the streets and riding motor scooters.
Chief Gabel also listed various rules
for pedestrians such as being careful
before starting out from between two
cars and going to the comer to cross the
street whenever possible.

Cindermen Aiming
For Wins, Records
With the 1950 track season now in full
swing, the Nilehi cindermen will not
only be out for many victories, but will
be shooting for individual records as
well. Some of these records still stand
from 1942, and others were set as re
cently as last year.
Howie Johnson’s mile record of 4.32:6
and half-mile mark of 2.04:8 set in 1942
and 1943 respectively are the oldest
records still standing. Raymond Nitch
owns the shot put mark of 45.4 feet
which he set in 1943.
Among recent records are those of
1949 when John Boznos set the discus
mark at 134 feet, when Marty Seidler
set the high jump mark at five feet 10
inches, and when Don Siegel, Jack DeStories, Conrad Cornell, and Ed Butterworth collaborated to do the mile
relay in 3.42.
George Pasek holds the most individ
ual records with top marks in the 220yard dash, 100-yard dash, 880-yard re
lay, and mile medley.
Jim Heiniger holds the pole vault and
high hurdle records; Bob Farr, the 440yard dash;- Howie Siegel, the broad
jump; and Jack Suydam, the low hurdle
mark.

Niles Goes Hollywood;
Coronet Takes Film
“Oh, I know they’re taking movies
....b u t what fo r?” Sound familiar?
Just in case you, too, were wondering
why. Nilehi had gone “Hollywood” on
Thursday, March 23, here’s the “lowdown.”
Coronet Studios of Glenview, produc
ers of educational films, came to Nilehi
to make their introductory and ending
sequences for a film called “Public
Speaking.” The movie, done in full color
and sound, will run about 10 minutes
when completed and will be shown in
other schools and churches all over the
country.
Seniors Ashley Craig, Dorothy Hartigan, John Young, and Junarden Wil
liams, junior, will try out today for the
Eighth Annual Hearst International Or
atory Contest according to Mr. Ronald
Van Arsdale, speech instructor. Three
members of the faculty will act as
judges.
This is the fifth year that Nilehi has
entered the contest. Last year Dorothy
Hartigan won second place in the State
Regionals held at Cicero, Illinois.
This year the contestants will give a
eix-minute memorized speech on James
Madison.
The winner of this elimination will
represent Nilehi in the State Regionals.
The National finals will be held a t the
Lyric Theater, Baltimore, Maryland, on
May 12. First prize will be a $1,000 Sav
ings Bond.
'Mother Is A Freshman’
Chosen Last School Play
How would you like to go to college
with your mother? That question may
sound absurd to you, but that is just
what is going to take place in the
Assembly room on May 18, 19, and 20,
Thursday, Friday, and Saturday night».
The explanation for this is the last
school play, “Mother Is A Freshman.”
The plot of the play follows the re
cent movie closely, except that there
are fewer characters and fewer changes
jf scenes.
Many hilarious things happen through
out the play, and the evenings should
prove to be very entertaining, according
:o Miss Virginia Stemp, dramatics di
rector.
Frosh-Soph to Begins Debate
With the Varsity debate season now
over at Nilehi, Mr, John L. Betts, debate
coach, will focus his atention on six new
freshmen, and two new sophmores who
will make up the frosh-soph team for
this spring.
Upholding the affirmative for direct
vote of the people, will be Merle Haas
and Nancy Boemmel, sophomores, and
Jerry Cornell and Jerry Weissburg,
freshmen. On the negative side will be
Harold Bextel and Ralph Fjellman, and
David Burt and Vivian Carlson, fresh
men. Of these, only Jerry Cornell and
Jerry Weissburg have had any previous
debate experience.

Polarized Light Uses
Green as well as every other color

Patrick's Day at the Nilehi Science Club,
during a demonstration on “Polarized
Light.”
Two Nilehi junior boys, John Bray
and Bill Perrin who had been working
on this show for three months, used a
screen, slide projector, several lenses,
various pieces of cardboard, a crystal,
and cellophane to illustrate their talk.
They explained that polarized light is
used in industry to discover stress and
strain in material and showed an ex

Miss Ada Immel, Nilehi shorthand and

Convention today at the Congress Hotel.
Miss Immel’s topic is “See What We

of enlivening education and instruction
through motivating devices. Special em
phasis in the address will be placed on
bulletin boards, the 100 Pes Cent Club,
and Business Education Bylines, the

Cancel Reflections Revelry
“Due to lack of student response,
there will be no Reflections Revelry this
year,” said Mr. Ronald Van Arsdale,
faculty adviser of the yearbook financial
staff.
Mr. Van Arsdale stated that sufficient
funds were obtained from the magazine
drive to finance this year’s book.
“The show this year was to have been
for the students. They seemed to want
to carry it on as a tradition, but not
enough students are supporting this idea
to justify it,” says Mr. Van Arsdale.

Mr. George Roth’s freshman boys’

Cagers W in 123, Lose 9 3
Though the 1949-50 Trojan basketball
season ended with a record of 8 wins
and 15 losses, our Men of Troy, down
;hiough the years, have compiled many
more victories than defeats. In the past
11 years, the Nilehi basketeers have
won 132 games while losing just 93.
In compiling the 132 victories our
Trojans have had most success
against Warren High School in win
ning 14 straight games without de-,
feat. Least success has been against
the Wildkits of Evanston who have
beaten the Trojans in 13 of 18 games
played. Nilehi’s most successful
cage year was 1940-41 when the
Trojans won 14 of 17 games. Their
worst season was 1948-49 when they
won just 6 of 20 engagements.
Suburban League teams have handed
the Trojans 40 of their 93 losses and
have bowed to our quintets just 19 times
since 1939.

FT. LAUDERDALE, FLA., MARCH
17: While lying on the white sands, with
the palms swaying peacefully in the
breeze, and the surf rolling quietly up
to the shore, your N il e h il it e reporter
sends news from south of the MasonDixon line.
The hottest thing to come off the
presses is, of couse, the weather. The
days are perfect for golfing, swimming,
or just loafing around, while the nights
are comfortably cool for sleeping.
With all the canals running lazily
through the heart of the city, you can
easily see why Ft. Lauderdale is called
the “Venice of the South.” Yachts a mile
long -cruise in and out the bay, while
fishermen haul out catches “sooooo big.”
But right now the “quietly rolling
surf” is beckoning to your reporter, so
she will stop this aimless patter and
answer that call. So long from the sunny
southland... Splash!

Golden Rendezvous March 11
Tonight’s the night! Though the date
of the One-Act plays has been changed
irom February 24 and 25 to March 3 and
4, the ingredients are still the same—
drama, mystery, and comedy.
The curtain will rise at 8:15 tonight
and the plays will be seen in this order —
“Minor Miracle,” a drama with an all
boy cast; “Mushrooms Coming Up,” a
comedy with an all-girl cast; and “High
Window,” a mystery.
The plays are being presented tomor
row night also, and again the curtain
will rise at 8:15 p.m. after the call “On
stage, everybody. Curtain going up.”
“Does your mother have a red and
white checked tablecloth we can bor
row?” “That band sounds terriffic!”
These were a few of the questions and
comments overheard at a girl’s lunch
table the other day. The main subject
was naturally the senior dance, “Golden
Rendezvous.”
Committees have been buzzing like bees,
according to Mr. Leo Hoosline, steering
committee chairman. “If everything goes
as planned, it should be one of the nicest
dances Nilehi has ever had.”
The steering committee has the final
say-so on all that goes through the com
mittees. Mr. Hoosline is faculty sponsor,
and Barbara Kokum, student chairman.

the talk given to the Ushers Club, Feb

According to Miss Trask, the main

“ L ife with Mother, Father, Sister, Bro

Boys Enjoy Assignment
“ The boys enjoy this more than any
other assignment of the year," says Mr.
George Roth, boys’ general science tea
cher about the freshman boys’ science
projects.
Fred Rother stuffed a snow owl, two
other owls, and several prairie animals
which he caught near his home. Paul
Kelley caught and mounted three fish and
Larry Jung brought a live wild fox for
his project.
Pete Moosmann, Read Sinclair, Don
Dressel, and Jim Thurlwell made an ex
hibit of midget racing cars, and Lervin
Schmidt made a minature o f the Nilehi
football field — complete with flood
lights.
Other unusual projects are a two-way
radio, a model steam engine, a short
wave receiver, an actual airplane radio,
and various airplane models.
“ Silence is golden," and the music de
partment at Nilehi is out to prove this
famous adage. Two sound-proof rooms
have been constructed in the music room.
Sound-proof doors and sound-proof walls
have been installed to separate the sing
ing o f Miss Clara Klaus’s vocal group
from Mr. Clifford Collin’s instrumental
students.
The two rooms will be used by Mr.
Collins, who will give instrumental in
struction there during the school day. In
addition to the rooms, several large cab
inets have been built fo r storage o f mu
sical instruments and band uniforms.
Room 309, not to be outdone by the
music department, also has the new
look. W all shelves have been completed
for the chemistry department and will
be used fo r much-needed storage space.

The 1950 senior dance is only the sec
ond dance of this kind. The idea was
started by last year’s senior class.
Three former Nilehiers have received
honors at Eastern Illinois college, Char
leston, Illinois.
Howard Siegel, ’48 graduate, received
high honors, which means he had “ A ’s’’
in three subjects and a “ B” in the fourth.
Jesse Porter and Richard Shiley, both
’49 graduates, and Edwin Soergel, ’48,
received honors, meaning they had “ A 's”
in two subjects, a “ B " in the third, and
a “ B” or a “ C” in a fourth.

Surveys, surveys, surveys was the
password of Mr. Paul Eberhardt’s junior
English classes recently. “ The students
have been learning to take surveys in

Russell O’Grady and Charles Jauss had
an unusual survey on types of cars of
N i’ ehi students and their families. The
four most frequently possessed cars, ac

Do You Have Those Day Before Exam' Jitters?
Strictly Senior
The senior cabinet has been very busy
lately, contacting the parents of ’49 grad
uates to get present addresses of all
members of the class.
This is being done fo r two reasons: to
keep the former students in contact with
each other if they wish to do so, and to
have a mailing list fo r a special alumni
edition of the N i l e h i l i t e for which the
cabinet has tenative plans.
They contacted some parents by phone
and the rest by mail. About 85 per cent
o f the parents have replied with the
addresses.
College is the main topic of conversa
tion among the seniors these days with
graduation in the near future.
Some of the seniors have been accep
ted at various colleges throughout the
United States.
Barbara Daly, Mary Winter, Lois Len
berg, Jane Bastow, and Joan Hamlet,
have been accepted at Stephens College
in Missouri.
Beattie Bornemeier will follow in her
sister’s footsteps by entering Purdue
University in Indiana next September.

The Pressure Gauge
Dear Editor:
What has happened to old N.T.H.S. ?
It seems that the old days of good, lively
pep assemblies are a thing of the past.
I know we have a basketball team be
cause I ’ve been to most of the games,
but where are the team’s real fans?
I think a good (and by good I mean
one that doesn’t drag) pep assembly once
in a while might let the team know that
the school is really behind them— win
or lose.
This might be one of the needed reme
dies to spark the real (not put on) en
thusiasm needed to bring school spirit
back to life.

The remainder are planning part time

Nilehi Gridmen Feted
Recently the Nilehi football squad was
guest of honor at an annual Rotary Club
football dinner.
'T h e main event of the afternoon was
the awarding of the “ Most Valuable
Player” trophy, which was received by
James Kennedy, who captained the ’49
squad in their five-win, three-loss sea
son.
Harold Isaacson, coach o f the squad,
gave a preview of the team’s success and
introduced each p’ ayer.
A fte r the dinner was over, a movie
o f the Chicago Bears ’47 football season
was shown.
History Repeats Itself,
Say Nilehi Tankmen
The freshmen have lost to such teams
as, Proviso, Leyden, Evanston, Barring*
ton, and Oak Park. Their only victory
was against Arlington. They have scored
137 points to their opponents 209 and
have made 44 out of 134 free throws,
which is almost ha’ f of all free throws
made. The opponnets have had most of
the jumps and rebounds, but the men of
Troy have shown many signs of willing
ness to cope with them.
Here are just a few of Mr. Charles
Hussey’s top men.
Irl Ihrcke, five feet six inches, 112
pound guard, has shown that smallness
is no handicap for a basketball player. He
is leading in scoring with 31 points and
he also leads in fouls with sixteen.
James Foran, five feet nine inches, 131
pound forward, is another smooth ballhand1
er. He ranks a very close second
with 28 points and is one o f the main
spark-plugs of the team.
Bo Butterworth, five feet four inches,
105 pound guard, is the smallest boy on
the first string and has racked up 26
points which proves also that smallness
is not his handicap.
Karl Wicker, five foot eight inches, 133
pound forward, who helps in getting re
bounds. Although he has scored only six
points he has proved himself a great
help to the team.
Jim Thurlwell, six feet one inch, 173
pound center is one of the main reasons
why N i’ es has come close to winning
some of their games. He, like Wicker,
has scored only six points, but has help
ed get many of those badly needed re
bounds.
History repeats itself! A t least it did
with the Nilehi Varsity tankmen, who
lost to Waukegan 53 to 22 January 10
at the Niles pool. The Trojans, who
dropped the season’s opener November
15 to Waukegan by the same score, were
defeated by a convincing margin; but
they remained in contention until the last
two relays, both of which Niles lost.
Araie Nordquist, senior, who won the
100-yard breast stroke, was the only
Nilehi swimmer to place first. Second Competition Toughens as

the annual Christmas Vespers program
was presented. Miss Clara Klaus was
director.
The Girls’ Glee Club sang “Oh Holy
Night,” “As Lately We Watched,” “No
Candle was There,” (by request) and
“Behold That Star.” A guest director
for the spiritual was Mr. Robert Damman, an alumnus of Niles Township High
School.
“The Song of Christmas,” by Roy
Ringwald, was the cantata sung by the
choir, with Barbara Olson as narrator.
The audience participated in singing
several familiar carols.
The final number was “Hallelujah
Chorus” sung by combined groups, and
augmented by a number of alumni who
sang the chorus in their high-school days.
Standing Room Only’ at Play
The cast of “Dear Ruth” played to
“standing room only” audiences each of
the three evenings that the play was
presented.
Exactly 644 students and 313 adults

Coaches Choose Top
Nilehi Teams and Players
Nilehi coaches have seen teams and
players come and go. Some have been
good, others poor. Regardless of how
many good teams and players they have
coached, each member of the Nilehi
coaching staff remembers one team, play
er, or game which he considers out
standing.
Mr. James Phipps, Varsity base
ball coach, considers the 1948 Var
sity baseball team, which lost to
Granite City in the semi-fi.ial round
of the state tournament, as the most
outstanding team he has coached at
Nilehi.
Mr. Robert Mackey, Varsity basketball
coach, received his biggest thrill coach
ing at Nilehi when his “poor little boys”
defeated Waukegan, which was rated as
the fifth best team in the state, at the
rejional tournament in 1948.
A touchdown pass from Don Wal
ter, junior, to Ronnie Gawrys, jun
ior, which enabled the freshman
football team to defeat Libertyville
in 1947, gave Mr. Arthur Ryden,
assistant freshman football coach,
his biggest thrill. Mr. Ryden re
ceived just as much pleasure in see
ing Don Byrd, who had never en
tered the mile run, win this event at
the 1948 conference track meet.
Mr. Anton Schubert, Varsity swim
ming coach, has the 1948-49 Varsity
swim team at the top of his list. Mr.
Schubert’s 1948-49 swim team was the
first Nilehi team to place in the state
meet. The team placed sixth.
Mr. Harold Isaacson, Varsity foot
ball coach, says that seeing his 1943
Varsiity football team score four
touchdowns in eight minutes against
Lake Forest gave him the most
pleasure. The 1943 Trojan gridmea
scored a touchdown on an 85-yard
run the first time they had posses
sion of the ball.
Mr. Thomas Kiviluoma, golf and cross
country coach, believes seeing Bob Dombrowski, ’47, qualify for the state go^f
meet during a heavy rain at Highland
Park in 1947 and seeing Ed Buerk,
senior, qualify for the 1949 state cross
country meet to top his list,

M i.C harles H ussey,varsity track
coach, received the most satisfaction

Varsity track team qualified for the

Top Physical Condition Reveal Facts on Cagets
Saves Life o f Alumnus
Standing on an airfield waiting for
a transport plane to take him home,
Sergeant Ray Nitch was feeling in bet
ter humor than he had for many months
jf grim Pacific warfare.
Sudden y there was an explosion. The
motor of a crippled plane which was
about to land fell on a pile of oil drums
next to which Ray was standing.
Days later he woke up in a hospital,
the right side of his body badly maimed
and swathed in bandages. When he left
the hospita1 Ray’s right hand was para
,
lyzed and his body still carried scars
of his painful accident.
“Ray was one of the many top athletes
who were graduated from Nilehi and
then entered the service,” said Mr. Har
old Isaacson, Nilehi athletic director,
“Ray was one of the most agile boys
ever to play on our varsity. His perfect
physical condition was probably one o!
the main factors which saved his life.”
After years of practice with his par
alyzed right hand, .he is able to draw
and is now employed as a commercial
artist in Chicago.
Ex-Nilehier Plays With I ¡.ini
Despite Paralyzed Hand
“Twelve major letters in four years of
high school! That’s what made Dick Eby|
one of the best all-around athletes ever
to graduate from Nilehi,” says Mr. Har
old Isaacson, Nilehi athletic director.
After a brief but successful career in
the Golden Gloves, Dick joined the Ma
rine Corps and was sent to the Pacific.
His luck finally ran out at I wo Jima,
where he was wounded in both arms.
After receiving a medical discharge,
he attended the University of Illinois,
where he majored in journalism despite
the handicap of a partial1 paralyzed
y
hand, and tried out for the football team.
With his grim determintion and natural
ability he gained the quarterback posi
tion on the varsity B squad. Although he
had to use rubber bands to control his
paralyzed fingers, which had resulted
from his arm injuries, he was able tq
pitch several touchdown passes during
the season.
Upon graduation from Flinois, Dick
turned to the field of advertising and is
now employed in Chicago.
Twirlers Seek Teacher
Although the twirlers at Nilehi did
not have an instructor during the first
part of the school year, Dorothy Bowles,
Charlene Eifler, Arlene Hoffman, Ruth

Many athletes have won various hon
ors at Niles, but the highest honor of
all is to be voted the most valuable
player. What were some of the most
valuable basketball players noted for?
Well, here are a few comments about
former Nilehi basketba'l players who
were voted the Most Valuable Player
award, which were made by Mr. Robert
Mackey, varsity basketball coach.
1938-39 — R ichard Eby, a guard, averaged
17 points a game in 1939 and was the most
valuable player for two years.
1940 — EDWARD Boyk , a forward, averaged
20 points a game and was called "hotshot”
by the coaches.
1942 — Robert Podraza, a forward was
noted for his deadly accuracy.
1943 — R obert G latz, a forward, was also
an excellent shot.
1944 — Charles Leibrandt, a center, was a
member of the first Nilehi Northeast Confer
ence basketball champs, which proved he was
a fine basketball player.
1945 — Arthur Anderson, a guard, was
called "automatic.” Art was also a member of
the 1944-45 Northeast Conference champion
ship team, which won the Waukegan regional
tournament.
1946 — J o h n La n e , a center, averaged around
20 points a game. He is now attending Illinois
Wesleyan College.
1947 — Frank W illiams, a center and
brother of the 1941 most valuable player win
ner, played on the varsity squad in his sophonore year.
1948 — H oward Siegel, a forward, was a
member of the 1947-1948 Northeast champ
ionship team. Howie is now attending East
ern Illinois State Teachers College.
1949 — Edward Beebe, a forward, started
slow but developed into a fine player. Ed is a
freshman at De Pauw University.

There were 12 additional twirlers at the
homecoming game October 28. The plan
is to have 16 twirlers at every basket
ball game according to Mr. Clifford
Collins bandmaster.
There is a class of 16 new twirlers who
have signed up for lessons on Monday
at 6:30 p.m. in the girls gym. A national
ly known instructor, Mr. Robert Abbot,

Keen Teens Interview
French ClubSeesFilm > Reveal Data on New
Vice-President, Others
Office Staff Members
Elects New Officers
Vice-President Alban Barkly was the
main attraction a t a Daily News Keen
Teen interview held in the Stevens Hotel
recently.
The “Veep” said he was in favor .of
socialied medicine, although he didn't
think this was the proper name for it.
The Vice-President said it was “some
times a little irksome” not to be able
to voice his opinion in the Senate after
being a Senator for such a long time.
- Keen Teen representatives J o y c e
Swartz and Barbar Kokum were im
pressed with Vice-President Barkley’s
very dignified but informal appearance.,
On November 11, four students from
Nilehi went down to Wrigley Field to
watch the Chicago Bears practice and to
interview Johnny Lujak, the Bear’s star
quarterback from Notre Dame.
Lujak prefers pro-football to college
football because of its maturity. “The
step from college to pro ball is about
the same as from high school to college
football,” stated Lujak.
Nilehie Keen Teeners attending this
interview were Dick Swanson, Don Wal
ter, Barbara Kokum, and Pete Heiniger.
Movie stars Peter Lawford Marilyn
Maxwell and comedian Jerry Lester
were interviewed Thursday, November 10
by the Keen Teens.
Mr. Lawford, speaking in his English
accent, told the group that his "favor
ites” were June Allyson, the movie.“Good
News,” the island of Tahaiti and bop.
Miss Maxwell told the Keen Teens
that she got her start in Chicago.
Jerry Lester, also of Chicago, is now
working on his first movie.
Representatives from Nilehi at this in-»
terview were Nancy Lane, Bea Bome-j
meier, and Joyce Swartz.

Miss Margaret de Booy, junior class
adviser, has been chosen to serve on
the hospitality committee at the National

Paul M. Ebernard.,
Clement Meier
The newly organized French Club,
headed by Miss Jean Small, has elected
the following officers: Barbara Olson,
president; Marilyn Martin, vice-presi
dent and secretary; Mary Weimer, treas
urer.
For its first outside activity the club
attended the French movie, “Monsieur
Vincent.” The movie won the Academy
Award for the best foreign language
film of 1948. It was in French with Eng
lish sub-titles.
Future Barman Studies
Greek for Seven Years
So you think you have a tough time
with Latin, Spanish, French, or German ?
Well, how would you like to study Greek
for seven years ?
That is what John Thimios, senior,
did up until three years ago. He atten
ded Nichols Junior High School in Evan
ston, and after the usual classes he took
four hours a week of Greek. John deci
ded he might be able to use it in later
life.
His plans for the future include being
a member of the bar—a bartender that
is, and if all goes well, a liquor store
owner. Said John in a recent in' erview,
“I'm sometimes referred to as ‘Booze’,
‘Hiccup’, ‘Bottles’, or ‘Alkali’ ”.
Speech Department
To Hear Laughton
The Speech Department at Nilehi has
received an invitation from the Little
Theater group at Waukegan Township
High School to attend a dramatic read
ing on November 29, by Charles Laugh
ton, star of stage, screen, and radio.
“This will be a great experience for
all who ‘ attend,” according to Miss
Virginia Stemp, radio and dramatics
teacher. “Mr. Laughton is one of Amer
ica’s best dramatic readers.”
Mr. Ronald Van Arsdale, public speak
ing teacher, hopes to give his impersona
tion of Mr. Laughton to Mr. Laughton
while at Waukegan.
There are many at Nilehi, students
and maybe some teachers too, that aren’t
familiar with the new office members.
For the benefit of those a bit of informa
tion has been gathered about each one.
Mrs. Muriel Nelson, while in Des
Moines, Iowa met her husband, Dick
Nelson, Nilehi ‘42 graduate. After marry
ing him they moved to Chicago. The
most outstanding feature of Niles, she
said, was the courtesy of he students.
Miss Theresa Schwentzer, bookeeper,
has always lived in Skokie. Previous to
her joining the Nilehi office staff she
was deputy treasurer of Skokie. Miss
Schweitzer remarked about the air of
fellowship between students and faculty.
She also complimented the cafeteria staff
on their fine work.
Another Skokieian, Mrs. Evelyn Fried
man likes working at Nilehi very much.
The modem school building, nice stu
dents and co-operative faculty makes her
work there pleasent, she says “It brings
me back to my own high school days.”
VanArsdale Appears in Play
G iven by Glenview Players
Mr. Ronald Van Amsdale, English and
public speaking teacher, was one of the
actors in Agatha Christie’s play “Ten
Little Indians,” produced by the Glen
view Players on November 10 and 11.
A member of the Glenview Players
for the past year, Mr Vansdale has acted
in two other productions, “Our Town”
and “You Can’t Take It With You.” He
will direct the next play, “Springtime
for Henry,” to be produced in February.
New Contest Started

“V-V victory. . . Var-Var varsity. . .
Go, team, go. ” After the rousing peprally last night the team should have a
good chance of repeating the Morgan
Park score against the Leyden Eagles
tonight.
The bonfire and traditional snake
dance through Skokie was tiring but
pappy, according to the students. Seniors
in charge of the rally were Bob Tait,
program chairman, John Boznos, in
charge of snake dance and Jim Brophy,
in charge of the bonfire.
The cheerleaders, under Captain
Marilyn Reiland, were all literally worn
out after leading cheers and running the
lead in the snake dance, says Marilyn.
Everyone says, “I’ll see you at the
game tonight and remember—
BEAT
LEYDEN!”
“Say, what is all this fuss about?
Everybody seems so busy and all the
kids are buzzing about something called
Gridiron Glide. What is that, a new shav
ing cream for football players?”
No, my dear students, the Gridiron
Glide is the name of the ter-r-ific Home
coming Dance of 1949. You mean you
haven’t heard about it? Take the cotton
out of your ears and listen!
Tomorrow night, October 29, the first
dance of the year will top off this
sizzling Homecoming Weekend. Come
and glide to the strains of Buddy Mars’
“99% Pure Dance Music” from 8:30 to
midnight.
As this goes to press the decora
tions and bids are still a big secret.
Tickets have been sold all week and are
still selling. An informative skit has
been given in each homeroom by mem
bers of the publicity committee.
The other committees have been work
ing steadily together to make this Home

had.

purpose of the yearly event.
Classes will begin at 8 p. m., but

-o do so, since a program of entertainnent will be given by the Music and
Speech Departments. Musical and dram

Printing Is Busy Class;
Produces 4 5 Jobs
Do you realize how much is accom
plished by the print shop of your school
during the course of the year?
In a recent report by Mr. Clement
Meier, Nilehi print shop instructor, it
was stated that due to the addition of
one class and the increased enrollment
in print shop classes, more has been ac2omplished so far this year than in pre
vious years.
Forty-five jobs have been completed
by the student printers to date, as com
pared to 35 jobs completed by students
a year ago in the same length of time.
Among the jobs the print shop pro
duces are the Nilehilite, office records
and materials,, notices of various school
activities, and sporting-event programs.

sing attentively? Where else would we
have got the energy to go to the games
and cheer our lungs out ?
Yes, my dear friends, if we had
continued to do these simple things,

Keen Teens Interview Frosh G e t Acquainted
Editor of Daily News With Each Other, School
“In order to remain free, the Press
must be self-supporting,” was one of the
opinions given by John S. Knight, editor
and publisher of the Chicago Daily News,
at a meeting of the Daily News Keen
Teen Press Club, Monday, October 3.
“There is. very little free press in the
world today except in this country.”
“No I wasn’t on the staff of my high
school paper,” said Mr. Knight in answer
to a student’s question. “At that time
all I wanted to do was to play football.
I got my letter on the all-state champion
team.”
“What position did you play?” was
the next question.
“L eft end. I remember the position
very distinctly because the only touch
down scored against our team all season
was around my end.” replied Mr. Knight.
“It is a great advantage in journalism
if you go to college first,” he concluded.
Nilehi Keen Teen representative at
the interview was Joyce Swartz, senior.
Nilehier, Reporter S e e Cubs
Bernard Edwards, freshman, had the
good fortune of going with Edgar Munzel, sports writer on the Chicago SunTimes, to the Cubs’ baseball games last
summer.
He met all the players personally at
the dugout, and got their autographs
with a few bats and balls on the side.
Among Bernard’s “John Henrys” from
the Cub team are: Murrelo, Johnson,
Lowery, Walker, Nicholson, Chambers,
Meyer, and MacCullough.
Also on Bernard’s list are such famous
stars as Jackie Robinson, Stan Musial,
Enos Slaughter, Ralph Kiner, Hank Sau
er, Johnny Mize, Gus Zernial, and Bob
Elliot.
The freshmen at Nilehi are getting
better acquainted wth each other and
their school, according to members of
the faculty.
Miss Lucille Ronalds, freshman Eng
lish teacher, has given her classes dia
grams so they can find their way around
the library.
Miss Marie Green, freshman adviser,
sponsored a contest among all freshmen
home rooms. The contest was called
“Know Your Homeroom.” Those who
wrote the longest lists of people in their
home room won and were gven prizes.
Winners: Joyce Maierhofer, Lois Peter
son, Duane Peterson, Barbara Christen
sen, Bernard Wdowicki, Ray Baumann,
Levin Schmidt, Marvin Farvill, Norman
Olson, Richard Williford, Joy Raven, Pat
Semsen, Dave Petrie.
Tips on Mr. Phipps
Nilehi’s varsity baseball coach, Jim
Phipps, led a busy and active summer
playing the great American game of
baseball. His season consisted of playing
semi-pro ball for Benton Harbor, Michi
gan. This was Coach Phipps’ third year
playing in the league which includes
teams from Benton Harbor and St. Jo s
eph, Michigan; Fort Wayne, Michigan
City, Lafayette, Indiana; and Windsor.
Canada.
The team consists of coaches and ex
professional ball players from all over
the country. Coach Phipps is included
in both as he played for a New York
Yankees farm team in Augusta, Georgia.
Phipps showed his ability when it
came to batting as he led the league
with an average of 345, which was not
quite up to his '48 season of 395.

The class sits waiting tensely for the team to come out of the huddle. Every

“Say what is this, football or typing?” cries a voice from the grandstand.
“I t ’s the fellows on the Varsity who are learning a new kind of ‘game’—

Yearbook Magazine Drive to Start October 6;
School's Total Sales G oal Placed at $ 1 0 ,0 0 0
The 40 people who attended the meeting of the 1950 Nilehi yearbook
finance staff, September 20, had a busy afternoon. The purpose of the
meeting was to organize a magazine drive, the profits of which are to
be used to finance the 1950 yearbook. The drive will begin October 6
and close October 19.
Mr. Ronald Van Arsdale, sponsor of the yearbook finance staff, stated
that the drive is very important, as it will determine whether the
school yearbook will “sink or swim.” He has set the school total sales
goal at $10,000, the individual homerooms at $400, and each student
of the school at $12.

According to the director of the traffic
bureau in a sorth-of-Chicago suburb,
a proposed bill is expected to be passed
in Springfield soon, whereby a driver’s
license will be issued only to those who
are eighteen years of age and who have
the written consent of parents or guard
ians. Licenses of those under eighteen
would be revoked.
The outcome of this problem would
prove whether or not girls are those socalled hypocritical creatures who love a
man only for his car.
Because Dad would undoubtedly be the
victim chosen to loan his presence and
skill to the driving wheel on date nights,
the day might come when a new date

Trojans Battle West Aurora Here Tonight
Out of the Helmet
Coach Harold Isaacson, athletic direc
tor of Nilehi, chooses the officials for all
inter-scholastic games played at Nilehi
from the Central Officials Association of
America.
The officials like to come to Niles be
cause of our nice school and the good
sportsmanship of the student body. “Let’s
keep it that way for the ’49 - ’50 season,”
Nilehi coaches say.
Tryouts for the synchronized swim
ming groups were held last Tuesday,
September 27, in the Nilehi pool. Miss
Gertrude Montgomery, physical educa
tion instructor, asks that all girls inter
ested in participating in the 1950 Water
Carnival come out and join the class.
The class will meet every Tuesday after
school for the next five weeks.
Freshman boys will be working for
their beginners card in swimming, while
sophs work for their swimming cards,
and juniors and seniors work fo r their
Senior Red Cross cards, reported Anton
Schubert,^ swimming coach.
Marilyn Reiland, senior cheerleader,
who has recently been elected captain of
the squad, has served on it for four
years. Other senior cheerleaders are
Jane Bastow, Shirley Timberg, and Doris
Lyde, all new on the squad, while Violet
Kubany, Joan Andrews, both juniors, are
returning for their second year.
G.A.A. after-school sports program is
off to a great start, reported Miss Helen
Heitmann. Badminton and soccer will be
the highlights of the season.
After playing two games, the Nilehi
frosh football squad of 50 members has
just had a taste of their tough schedule,
reported coaches James Phipps and An
ton Schubert.
Four of these fiv6 games will be with
arch-rivals of the old Northeast Con
ference, Arlington, Leyden, Woodstock
(now of the North Suburban Conference)
and the fifth opponent will be an old
time Suburban League rival, Evanston.
Bill Bruce, (class of ’49) who is now
attending Drake University, has been
reported doing very well in cross coun
try. While at Niles, Bill was a varsity
trackster, and was showing promise of
being a good half-miler, acording to
Charles Hussey, varsity track coach.
Did you ever wonder how many gal
lons of water it takes to fill the swim
ming pool? Acording to Mr. R. L. Mack
ey, head engineer, it takes 100,000 gal
lons.

�The death of Ivan M. Paroubek last September 24 brought an end to a long
career of service to Niles Township High School.
Mr. Paroubek was a leader in the organization of the school district and served
as a member of the Niles Township High School Board of Education from its beginning
in 1936.
He was chairman of the building committee of the Board throughout the
planning and construaion of the present Nilehi building and for nine of his 13 years
as a Board member. He was Board president in 1946, and secretary in 1940, 1943, and
1948.
In deep appreciation of his constant efforts and continual service we dedicate
this book . . .

Jo lke IJoarJ o/ f.:Jucalion:
As June draws near and graduation approaches, memories come thronging into
the spotlight of each senior's attention-the first all-school assembly, the Homecoming
weekend, semester exams, the Junior Prom, the See Chicago trips, and-most important
of all, perhaps, the friends we made.
le is of such as these each senior will be chinking when the last rose is p inned,
the last tassel adjusted, and the procession begi ns.
The class of 1950 wishes co thank the Board of Education for every effort it has
made to make our school one of which we can say with pride, "I went to Nilehi."

Loyalty, unity, sincerity, and enterprise - these are your qualities that we have
marked well, these the traits that have won our admiration and commanded our respect.
Ahead looms a world of uncertainties and unknowns, and our times call for
high courage and rare wisdom. But, in your brave sureness and in your young undersranding, hope thrives; :md through your eyes we can glimpse whar shines so brightly
for you: fulfillment of a golden dream.
We salute you for what yon are, for what you represent, and for the promise
in your destiny. Good journeying, good fortune, and a good life!

entrance with Margie Kirscht applying the powder, and
Doris Lyde fixing her tresses.
