You pick your way carefully among the dead and wounded, Yo^

Here and there an arm or a leg or a headless corpse. Now and then a

child, a last look, but he has a smile on his face. You put the pic

TH E SPORTS SCENE OPENED in fall with the Nilehi varsity eleven under Coach V irgil Van
Cleave, plagued by injuries to key players, managing only two wins and one tie against five losses.
Out on the sidelines at some time during the season were first stringers Ken Howard, Chuck Lind,
John Budai, Chuck Thompson, Bill Peterson, and Paul Byrd. For victories the Trojans swamped Marmion
34-6 as Lind tossed for two touchdowns and scored another and, with the Nilehi frontline opening holes
for Howard and Ed Trausch to score TD’s and erase an early 12-0 lead, squeezed past Morgan Park
14-12. Below freezing temperatures and a snowstorm blotted out previous high hopes for a victorious
homecoming as the school’s gridsters had to settle fo r a 6-6 tie with Highland Park. Teammates chose
backfield man Trausch, whose hard running and good defensive play was outstanding, Most Valuable Play
er, while lineman Jack Thiry was made Honorary Captain . . . . The cross country squad failed to gather
in a win although Bruce Bartleson, a senior out for the sport for the first time, finished among the
top runners in each meet.
TH E SPORTS MOVED INDOORS as winter weather approached. Towards the climax o f bas
ketball it appeared as if the varsity five was going to suffer a gloomy season. In regular competition
the Van Cleave[ charges netted only four wins while losing 14 contests. A bright spot during this slump
was sharp-shooting Ken Howard who was busy bagging a school record of 389 points, finishing second
in SL scoring, and being named to two All-Suburban League quintets. But then, three weeks from the
regionals, the Trojans showed signs o f strength with a 58-57 triumph over New Trier topped by Connie
Bartel’s last second scoring jump shot. The Nilehi lads traveled to Waukegan for the regionals and
easily defeated Waukegan and then Evanston. In the finals the fans saw a thriller to the finish with
Dick M eyers field goal scoring in the wanning minutes and spelling victory for Niles over Lake For
est, 49-47. Happy Nilehi spectators that night carried off the court such tourney favorites as Howard,
Meyer, Chuck Thompson, Ray Riha, Dave Baylor, and Bill Pohlson---- Meanwhile the Nilehi mermen of An
ton Schubert were turning in the most successful season in the school’s history. Taking share in breaking
seven of the school's eight records were Jack Raveret, George Lockwood, Don Larson, Phil Smiley, Dick
La Veau, Dean Ness, and Fred Bussey. The swimmers scored a real surpriser when they stunned the
state swim ohamps, New Trier, with a 38-37 setback. Lockwood, Larson and Raveret combined to cap
ture enough points to finish fourth in the SL meet and tie fo r eighth in the state meet . . . Coach
Carlo Traficano directed the initial wrestling season at Nilehi on the largest high school mat in the
country. Although the school’s varsity matmen were eager, inexperience with the new sport halted
chances of victories. Bill Carroll learned the mat sport quickly enough though to turn in some excep
tional performances.
SPRING BROUGHT OUT ATH LETE S for four different sports. Coach Thomas Kiviluoma’s golf
squad had back four returning lettermen, Bruno Dal Corobbo, Charles Tawse, A rt Muskat, and Don Carnail, and added as number five man, Dennis Harrod. This quartet won 10 of 14 o f their regular season
matches. In the SL their record was 4 won and 3 lost which placed them in the first division. Bruno
and Don fielded the low averages of the team, hovering in the 80’s . . . . The Nilehi tennis team re
ceived another start after first beginning in 1940. A large number of seniors came out for the net
sport, and two boys, A1 Mather and Dean Winkler, developed good enough games to each defeat an op-1
ponent. Coach Carlo Traficano, who introduced both wrestling and tennis to the Trojan athletes and
gave a good start to both, is leaving Niles and the N ilehilite sports staff wishes him good fortune
wherever he goes . . . . The track squad lacked depth forcing many thinclads to double and triple their
events. Pole vaulter George Simmons and runner John Krueger scored a good share of firsts to be top
pointmakers for Coach John Harmon . . . . A slow start hurt the expectations of the varsity ninei
under Coach James Phipps. But in their last four SL contests the stickmen beat Morton, Evanston,
Waukegan, and Oak Park. The fast finish jfut the Trojans in the -first division with six wins andi
eight losses. Hurlers Chuck Thompson and Ralph Wenk each won three SL games while Jack Thiry, Keii
Howard, Ron Jeurn, and Bernie Edwards proved to ) hitters.

M r. M ason Plans
Something T o Say?
Sum m er Vacation
N o t Gossip, W e Hope!
In Canadian Wilds
It seems that members of the
faculty, as well as the students,
are looking forward to the summer
season—at least in the case of Mr.
Joseph A. Mason, Nilehi princi
pal. This coming summer Mr. Ma
son plans to take his two sons,
Pat and Mike, for a two-week va
cation at Lake Nipigon, Canada.
Mr. Mason is quite an outdoor
enthusiast. When your reporter in
quired of his experiences in the
outdoors, Mr. Mason related quite
a few tales.
In the course of three trips into
thq rocky, heavily wooded Cana
dian wilderness, the Nilehi superin
tendent has witnessed numerous
exciting and humorous occurrences.
Once the group he was with got
lost—or so they thought—actually
because of higher river level the
landmarks were covered with wa
ter. The party flagged down an
airplane equipped with floats to
find out that they were right where
they should be!
Another time one of the canoes
overturned, and with it went most
of the supplies, firearms, and fish,
ing gear.
Mr. Mason related how once they
sighted a female moose and her
two babies standing in some fallen
timber. At the sight of the intru
ders the mother ran, leaving the
two calves alone. According to Mr.
Mason all the men had their pic
tures taken standing beside the
two “homely” calves.
The fishing is excellent in Cana
da, recalled Mr. Mason wistfully.
Once the men cast seven times
and caught seven fish. The biggest
weighed in at 15 pounds.
When he was asked about the
two mounted ducks sitting atop
a file cabinet in his office, Mr. Ma
son said that they were part of
his “ducky” collection. A few years
ago he started on the ambitious
project of mounting every type
of duck that he shot. Everything
went along fine until his taxider
mist moved away, so Mr. Mason’s
collecting was stymied. Today in
his home there are five ducks plus
the two in his office.
It would appear that Mike and
Pat are in for quite a vacation.
It has always been the policy of
the N ilbhilite to avoid the use
of the traditional gossip column,
but have you ever wondered what
a gossip column about Nilehi would
be like? Well, we did and this is
what came of it.
What was that big huddle of
blue-clad girls in the third period
gym class talking about the other
day or was a certain girl acting
up again? (Immediately everyone
tries to remember if they had
ever seen a big huddle in the third
period gym class or who in the
world that certain girl could be?)
Oh, have you heard the latest?
(No, a bored reader thinks to him
self . . . I haven’t heard the lat
est. Oh, what, oh what could the
latest be? He soon finds out that
it is something as stale as last
year’s pancake make-up.)
Did you see who with whom on
what corner when who was sup
posed to be with whomever at
wherever’s house? (Here the stun
ned reader crosses his eyes and
tries another once-over. Whoops!
It still comes out the same. Now
who was who? Oh, I know where
wherever’s house is but I’ll be
darned if I know who whomever is!
He tries another bewildered read
ing and decided to get to the
straight facts of the sports page.)
Former Senior Marries
Laura Burns, former senior, was
married May 10 to Bruce Vandercook, in Manchester, Connecticut.
Laura, who was introduced through
a blind date by Mary Donnell, sen.
ior, to Bruce while he was stationed
at Great Lakes was given a show
er by Mary and a group of senior
girls before she flew to her fiance’s
home for the wedding.
The Vandercooks will live in
Portsmouth, Virginia where Bruce
is stationed, after honeymooning
in Maine.
Nettland Wins Award
Jack Nettland, ’51, last year’s
N ilbhilite sports editor, won sec
ond place in the “Star Egyptian
Reporter” contest at (Southern Illi
nois University recently. The con
test was based on journalistic ac
tivities for the school newspaper,
the E gyptian*
Two days of fun, sports, and re
freshments are coming up on Sat
urday, May 17 when nine district
schools will be represented by 10
girls each at a G.A.A. playday
given at Nilehi. The second will
be on May 24 with representatives
from the eight Suburban League
schools.
“Globetrotting,” the theme of
these G.A.A. playdays, will be held
at Nilehi from 9 a.m. through
2 p .m .
The 90 girls from the district
schools (Palatine, Elgin, St. Ed
wards, Plato Center, Maine, Arling
ton Heights, Barrington, North
brook, and Dundee) will enjoy such
sports as volleyball, softball, re
lays, tennis, and swimming with
refreshments following the morn
ing-sports activities.
The girls will be divided into
teams which will have the names
of states or countries such as
“Bowlivians,” a n d “Tennis-ee.”
“The invitations are made in the
shape of the world,” said Miss
Helen Heitmann, sponsor of the
G.A.A. Norma Throop, president,
is in charge of the playdays, with
members of the board acting as
chairmen of various committees.

Election of officers of Nilehi’s
largest organization, the G.A.A.,
will be held May 20. Voting for
president, vice president, secretary,
and treasurer will be held May
20 and 21 in the girls’ gym classes.
Present senior members of the
G.A.A. board and newly elected
officers will choose the managers
for next year’s sports from let
ters submitted (each girl desiring
a manager’s job must write a let
ter to the board stating her choice
and qualifications.) These letters
are due May 23. Further informa
tion may be found in the girls’
locker room.

“He had good control,” said
Coach Leo Hoosline.
“His curve was breaking sharp
ly,” stated catcher Bernie Edwards.
These were the comments made
by the coach and catcher of Jim
Foran, junior, who pitched a no
hit, no-run game May 8 to blank
the Evanston .Jayvees, 3-0,
The stellar performance was
backed up by the steady fielding
and needed hitting of the Trojan
nine. Jim, who struck out 12 op
ponents and walked but four, said
the fifth inning was the first time
he realized he had a no-hitter go
ing.
The last no-hitter recorded in
Nilehi baseball annals was pitched
by Don Biehn in 1948.
Dave, Pat Interview
Giant - Killing Giants
It’s pretty small.
That was the impression that
Dave Baylor and Pat Linskey, jun
iors got when they traveled to
Hebron, Illinois to interview the
number one high-school basketball
coach in the state, Russ Ahearil,
coach of Hebron High’s Green
Giants. The interview was a jour
nalism project.
The town may be small, but
they surs play big-time bas
ketball, as is evidenced by the
state championship trophy that
is almost the first thing you
see when you enter the high
school building.
When asked about the prospects
for a good team next year, Mr.
Ahearn said, “The team should be
almost as good as this year’s, with
the two returning regulars, Bill
Schultz 6’ llVk”, and Ken Spooner,
our ace set shot.”
Mr. Ahearn also added that
his training rules were very
strict. Some of the rules: nine
hours of sleep a night, good
food, and no dates except on
Saturday night. When Novem
ber first rolled around, Don
Willibrandt, star forward, was
told by his parents that he
could have no more dates or
pie. Don’s answer was that he
didn’t mind the dates but he
would sure miss the pie.

N IL E R I LITE
Nilehi Golfers Form
Strong S L Squad
Doing a nice job of contradicting the proverb, “Man changes
often, but gets better seldom,” are varsity first baseman Jack Thiry,
at the right, and golfer Dennis 'Harrod. Very inconspicuous lads
last season, Denny couldn't even make the golf squad, while Jack
failed to get a hit in 18 times at bat in varsity competition. But
now Jack finds himself leading, the nine in hits, and Denny holds
the best average among the school’s linksmen, SW in their first
3
six matches.
The Trojan linksmen, who teeoff under Thomas Kiviluoma’s tu
telage, look as if they will repeat
their championship form again this
season. In their first six matches of
the season they have downed Pro
viso, Palatine, and Oak Park by
reasonable margins, and trounced
Evanston by a 13% to 1% score.
They tied Arlington, and suffered
their first defeat of the season
from Waukegan.
In the initial engagement with
SL foes last season the golf team
fared very well and ended the sea
son with a co-championship : y
b
tying New Trier.
Thus far this season the Tro
jans have a near flawless record
winning 3 of their SL appear
ances, losing only to Waukegan.
NILEHI’S TOP TEN BATTERS
The Phippsmen have got off to
a slow start in iSL baseball -by
winning four and, losing seven in
the tough competition.
First sacker Jack Thiry has
proved his hitting ability, as 'is
shown in his position among the
“top ten.” Ralph Wenk and Chuck
Thompson have been number dhe
hurlers for the Phippsmen by
splitting up the four wins the Tro
jans hold in Suburban“
League play.
The best record of } Nilehi pillsockers is held by the junior team,
which is under the auspices of Leo
Hoosline.

The Trojan cindermen have met
up with some tough luck this year,
in that several of their members

have become ineligible. The result
of this is that runners such as

have to double, and sometimes
triple the number of events they

The track team has yet to win

vaulting seems to be the major
point getter with sophomore George
Simmons regularly hitting ten
feet, and in the Mooseheart relays
going over 11 feet.

Lipstick, Gum
Irritate W riter
Are you a mirror gazer or a
gum chewer? If so, review your
habits, because nothing is more
discourteous to your teachers than
these types of students.
The mirror gazer sits in class
straightening her hair. If this
isn’t her fault, ¿he usually is seen
powdering her face or applying
lipstick. This not only irritates
the class instructor, but just think
of what boys throughout the room
derive from the ^actions. So let’s
not take time out of classes, girls,
just to do something which should
be hidden within the walls of the
girls’ washroom.
The fault of gum chewers is that
a classroom receives a sloppy ef
fect, and the person whose fips^ane
keeping time receives one that’s
worse. Being adhool ..rule, gum
chewing is also a sly violation.
When a stu(tent';isiealled upop^to
recite, the presence of gum" in his
mouth distorts the sound relin
quished, and even gives his friends
an unbecoming attitude toward
him. Besides, when you are
through exercising your teeth, you

TO THSB EDITOR:
'Shame on you, sir! You boys
seem to be looking at yourselves
through nose-colored glasses. I’ll
admit that girls wear blue jeans
but we certainly wear them in
their place—for working, beach
parties, games, and times when we
can save our clothes from getting
too dirty. Cleaning bills take an
awful big hunk out of the allow
ance. And a t least our blue jeans
are fairly neat—not all faded, p a t
ched, dirty and worn without belts
like some of the creations you see
around school. Also, if you would
sit up and take notice, you’ll ob
serve that papa’s shirt went out
with Dewey in ”48.
As for the dripping females you
see dashing out of the locker room
after swimming, there are several
reasons for that. The first is that
there is barely enough time for us
to get dressed, much less set and
dry our hair. The second is that
most boys put thumbs down on the
short, neat “poodle” and “feather”
cuts. “Too unfemine,” you say, so
we leave our -hair long.
Our daily gossip sessions corres
pond with your locker room ses
sions. ’Nough said?
We seem to be running in a viscious circle. We’d like to be fem
inine if we could depend on your
chivalry and masculine cq-re. Can

We Likes Assemblies
Some might call school, of any
kind, boring, but there are certain
things that should make high
school interesting for all;' some
thing to give us the will to work,
besides the ever constant, “do the
work or fluifk the course” lines.
One cof the solutions just might
lie in a few more assemblies; areal
entertainment assemblies, that is.
A few years ago when I was a
freshman, Nilehi had so many
assemblies that I though high
school was going to be great, and
I really couldn't figure out how
school could be so much fun, but
this year it seems th e ball was
muffed somewhere along the line.

where would they have been if the

mistakes like that don’t happen, it
would have been an embarrassing,
if not hilarious, situation.
Then there’s the makeup crew.
In “Green Valley,” there are 18
characters. There must be about
one makeup artist for each student
in the play. It takes approximately
45 minutes to make up a normal

Probably the most active crew in

The Trojan golf men opened
their link season against Proviso
last week when they met the Pi
rates, on the Bensonville Fairway.
Proviso, probably the Trojans’
strongest opponent, was easily
bettered by the Nilehi boys 10-5.
Charles Tawse picked up three
points with a fast 78; Dennis Har
rod also tallied three with a res
pectable 87. Art Muskat and Dow
Carnali gathered in two points
apiece with scores of 90 and 101
respectively. Although Bruno Dal
Corobbo scored a low 81, his oponent bettered him by three
strokes.
The linksmen’s next engagement
is with Evanston today, May 2, at
Bunker Hill Course.

QUITE A BIT OF TIM E has passed since Nilehi won the Wau-J|
kegan Regionals, but I, one of the members of the Nilehi team, want 1
to express how I fe lt during those games.
J
I W AS ON the floor that night. We won, we beat Lake Forest,
but it wasn’t easy—it was a rough, hard game all the way. We won ♦

the Waukegan. Regional trophy, and it was the second time in the
history of basketball at Nilehi.
,
When he is out in the middle of the floor playing ball, there is
just one thought in a fellow’s mind, and that is the game and the,*
score.
Very seldom does anything else hit your mind or seem to at- <
tract your attention. The people in the stands seem to be statues;
but don’t get me wrong, they are the kind of statues that are needed*
at a game. Even though we don’t fully hear their roaring cheers, we
all know they are there.
(
The other fellows who played that night and I want to thank all
of you kids for cheering with all your hearts. Maybe we didn’t hear*,
the exact words of your cheers, but the noise you made did some
thing for all of us and warmed our hearts.
’
Thanks for coming all the way out to Waukegan; it was a long
way, but some of you were there three nights in a row.
*
Thanks for giving our faith in Nilehi and its students a big boost.
You gave us a new outfit of cheers, loyalty, and school spirit. With
stuff like that, a team can’t lose.
EVEN THOUGH football and basketball seasons are over for this**
year, keep that spirit up next year. You helped us win a trophy this
year. I f Nilehi loses next year, wander over to the showcase and
look at the newest trophy in it and go back and cheer harder the
next time.

Some students interview important

One of- the mpsi/ interesting of
these projects and the. first to be
revealed is that of Sue 'Stolberg.
She has conducted a quiz o f the

the girls—

It seems, however, that the boys
almost made a clean sweep by

Jeanny speaks only German and

feels about Niles and America.
She “ really likes” Niles, and the

Each member o f a pair matches
his twin with height and weight
and color of hair and eyes except
for the Ahrens two; Leroy has
brown eyes and hair while his
brother, Leonard, is a blue-eyed
blond. The Lopinas and Marchalls
each have about the same grades,
the Ahrens having no comment on
this subject.
The one outstanding feature
among the three sets is that one
twin in each set has a temper.
With the Ahrens, it's Leonard; the
Marshalls, Jacquie; and the Lo

against three foes to surprisingly cop the regional championship. Nilehi fans m ig ra te d
' in large numbers to view the cagers in their victory spree. But on a fourth night, Thurs
day of last week, school rooters saw DeKalb end Trojan hopes in the state tourney by
beating our lads 42-36 in the W aukegan sectionals. Pictured below are the players largely
responsible fo r bringing the regional championship to Nilehi.

Brightens Season
MUCH OF THE success of the
Trojan five in the tournament can
be attributed to the eagle eye of
Ken Howard, who hit for 70 points
during the three games, and the
fine ball handling of two juniors,
Ray Riha and Dick Meyer. This
was coupled with the rebounding
ability of Dave Baylor, Chuck
Thompson, and sophomore Bill
Pohlson. These fellows, in addition
to the assistance rendered by Bob
(B o) Butterworth, Carl Oehler,
Chuck Lind, and Jim Foran, helped
set the championship crown upon
the Nilehi team.
The victories brightened up an
otherwise gloomy season fo r the
varsity contingent. Up until the

With O ne Eye on The State Tournament
Phippsmen Limber Up for April 5 Date
Sign of Spring Thinclads Warm U p ;
With all winter sports disen
gaged, baseball once again enters
into the Nilehi atmosphere. This
spring will also mark the return
schedule of a junior nine, which
will be under Coach Leo Hoosline’s
tutelage.
The JV team, and the varsity
pills'ockers of Coach James Phipps,
have been working out in the gym
these last few days in preparation
for their first encounter on April
5. It will be the Blue Demons of
Maine Township playing host to
the Trojan nine when Nilehi enters
the first of its 18 game season.
The first home games come against
Arlington and New Trier on April
8 and 9 respectively.
Although last year’s leading hit
ter, Bob Meyer, with a .409 aver
age, has graduated, there will be
six returning lettermeri that ipay
prove to be vit^l mainstays. Head
ing the ligt is shortstop Ken How
ard, who along with second-sackef
Ed Trausch, and pitcher Ron Juerri,
is starting his third year with the
Phippsmen. Pitchers Chuck Thomp

According to Mr. John Harmon, l]
track coach, the loss of several of t
last year’s leading point getters,

the 1951-52 season. Coach Virgil
Van Cleave will also award 11
major letters to his fast-finishing
whiz kids.
For his many winning efforts' in
backstroke events throughout the
season, Jack Raveret will receive
the trophy designated to the “ Most
Valuable Swimmer,” by the Skokie
Lions. George Lockwood, the tank
er’s leading tallymaker with 83
markers in 30 events, was chosen
to lead next year’s strokage, when
his teammates voted him “ Honor

By conquering most of his op
ponents during the season, and
placing fourth in the 165-pound
class at the State mat meet; Bill
Carroll will accept the Skokie
Lions’ trophy for being the Tro
jans’ “ Most Valuable Wrestler.”
Bill will also be coronated “ Honor

captain next year’s team.

too busy worrying about pitching

A Message to the Graduates:
America is a land of opportunity. In our cottntry each man can rise by
his own bootstraps. You have had the advantages which an edttcation in a
good high .school can give you and are now leaving this school to enter either
college or the world of work.
- ~·
Opportttnities for all of yo1t exist in every walk of life. But it is only in a
democracy that you can have the freedom to seek opportttnities in any field.
So just as we have passBd on ff> you the world of opporttmity we ask that you
will take advantage of those opportunities and will also make sure that your
children will have a world in which each man has an opportztnity.

Joseph A . Mason, B.S., M.S., Ed.M.
To the Class of 1952:
You are leaving the portals of N. T . H. S. to assume your place as citizens
in this great country of ours.
As citizens you will have the opportunity to p1tt into practice the lessons
which you learned. Lessons dealing not only with the facts learned in books,
but also lessons learned in the fttndamental virtues of honesty, friendliness,
and fair dealings with your fellows.
I f these lessons have been well learned, then the future--your future and
the future of our country--is in capable hands. The effectiveness of the edttcational program of this school can best be measured by the kind of people you
fire twenty years from now. If your . community, your city, your state, yottr
conntry are better places to live becattse of your efforts, then the education
which you received has been worthwhile.

��Now that we are grad1tating from high school, we, the cla-ss of 1952,
look back on our four years at Niles Township High School and recall
the many joys as well as the work involved in reaching our goals of
knowledge and good character. We remember with pride the strides
we have made in this development since our freshman year.
Ev~n more dear to tts, however, are the friendships we hrtve made
..
and the associations with others. Many wonderful memories such as
the dances, the plays, the water carnival, and the sports will remain
with m all through our lives.
We can now look forward to the future with confidence that we have
a solid foundation on which to build future successes. No matter where
we go or what we do in our later life, we will always remember Niles
Township High School.

�Senior Cabinet

This group of seven members, one from each senior homeroom, is probably the most important small organization in school.
Among their numerous jobs are the Senior dance, the Homecoming dance, and commencement exercises.

Standing, left to right: Gary Krueger, Les Klevay, Mr. Harold Ohlson (adviser) .

One of the greatest honors to receive in high school is to be inducted into the National Honor Society. These
seniors are members who were received into the society when they were juniors. Seated, left to right : Ginny

We are really upper-classmen now. The school seems so familiar to us - the
teachers, rooms, even the clocks that are fwe minutes slow are like old friends.
There is a great feeling that goes along with our junior year. We have .two years
of experience behind us and a year to look forwtWd -to.
In February came that all-important event, ordering our class rings. Before we knew
it, April rolled arotmd and we were on om way to Washington. The end of May brought
the Junior Prom, the final realization of many months of hard work.
Now graduation is almost upon us, and the seniors witl be leaving at the end of
the week. Odd, isn't it, to see them go? We'll really miss them. Hope we can make
our senior year as wonderful as they made theirs.

lt certainly waJ fun to get back and Jee eve-ryone in September. We really felt
pretty big now with a new class below us to show the rope1 to. The one thing w e alt
said about the new freshmen was, "Did we ever look like that?"
We chose our Senate in September and began to realize that this year we would
have more responsibility.
All the events had a little more meaning to tts this year, especially the football and
basketball game1 since we now had a team of our own to cheer for.
Now that 1pring i1 here and exams are coming up we are alt anxious for summer
vacation, bttt we know we wilt be glad to come back again next year as th e
''upper-classmen."

\
Our freshman year furnished the perfect beginning for ortr four years at Nilehi,
and when we loo.I.?. back in years to come, we will still think so.
No one can explain just how a freshman feels on that first day. We Jtepped into
high school, a world where everyone seemed to be a part of a big, happy, hurrying
crowd, and we all probahly thought secretly to ottrselves thdt we couldn't possibly
memorize our programs or find ottr way around.
After a week or so of finding ourselves in the wrong classes and falling for the
practical jokes of the upperclassmen We finally learned that the place wasn't JO big
after all, and we felt we belonged there.
...
ln September we chose ottr representatives to the Freshman Board of Advisors,
and in the girls' world of sports there 1uas the traditional GAA initiation when all the
new members had to dress in a new and difjerent way.
Now that the year is almost over we know that we will never forgek that fir.rt
glorious, exciting year - our freshman year at Nilehi.

��Code of Ethics
This year in the problems classes the idea of
having a code of ethics originated . Two people from each problems class were chosen to
make up a commi1tee that would draw up a
rough draft. This committee met in the evenings and after school with the two problems
teachers, Miss Grace Harbert and Miss Lois
Lamberg. After submitting the rough draft to
the G olden Galleon Guild for English corrections, the commi1tee gave it to the smdents
themselves in December for any necessary addi tions and criticisms. After the code com·
mittee was enlarged by including two mem·
bers from each class, the students' suggestions
were out into the code. This March in a formal assembly the final code was accepted. and
a copy of the code was _placed in a bronze case
in the front hall for all students to see, reminding us that the high ideals expressed in
it will not only be our guide while we are at
school but all through our lives.
This committee worked many hours to write our Code of Ethics.
Seated, left to right: Nancy Grund, Ginny Wead, Barbara Simpson, Al Mather,

and the work of nearly a whole

Trojan fullback Ed Trausch (33) drives off left tackle
for a sizable gain before several New Trier defensemen

apparently paid off as t:he Trojans won the battle 34-6.
It was the Men of Troy all the way as they cook an early

�Keyed up for their annual Homecomiog game, the Mustangs of Morton were too much for the Trojan gridsters,
as 1hey rolled over the Men of Troy 26-0 at Morton.
Many injuries which occurred in the fim half and a hard-asrock field put the Trojans to a great disadvantage a.s the
Mustangs took an impressive half-time lead.
The game was the fourth Joss for the Trojans in their
first five game-5 played during the season.
Bob Stoothoff, l\'ilehi halfback, heads for clear ground
during the Evanston rilt, which rhe Men of Troy lost
38 to 13. Leading Bob's interference are Dave Petrie ( 10)

Big Ed Trausch. Trojan fullback, plunges over the goal
