This different view of our new school was revealed to the camera
when the frosts of last November had stripped away the screening leaves
of the towering elms that border the campus on the southwest.
Though but three semesters old in terms of use, the handsome building and its skillfully landscaped grounds already blend into a proud and
harmoniously composed landmark.

General management and superv1 s1on of the
school is !-he respo nsibility of our principal, whose
broad interpretation of a logical, yet interesting ,
educational program is illustrated by the various
NTHS activities flourishing under his endorsement and support.
Mr. Cotanche is identified with the phenomenal developmeni· of a school whose life span
is still less than a decade. From a rich background of personal expe rience and through habi r
of dai.y study of a multiplicity of intricate facto rs, he has evolved a basic school philosophy
which is organical'y adapted to local opportuni-
ties and Ii mitations. The unity between the school
and the Board of Education is a realization of.
his advisory position to the Board.
Though ever busy with school projects, he
plays an important role as an outstanding citizen
of the community; and, indeed , regards fulfil lment of community obligations an essential p hase
of the school administrator's service.
Through excellent leadership, Mr. Cotanche
has integrated students, faculty, and school facilities into a co-operat ive unit which is at once
workable and flexible.

The Board of Educat ion enjoys t he respect and admiration of t he
ent ire towns hi p for its fine admin istra t ive reco rd. That ou r new schoo l
is ra nked among the most sou ndly designed a nd handsomely eq uipped
educational p lants now t o be fo und in Chicagoland, is a tribute of which
this group is most deserving.
Last summer, the sudden death of Mr. Frank Ambler, member of
t he Board from Lincolnwood, marked the close of a period of service
tha t began with the inception of the high school. Mr. Ambler's p a ssing
represented a loss which was felt in every quarter o f the township.
Mr. Wil lard E. Hertzberg of Lincolnwood was appo inted t o serve

The Guidance prog ram of NTHS is in the ca pable
hands of Mr. Flagg . He conducts courses in
orientation, plans vocationa l assemblies, arranges
personal interviews, directs guidance f unctions of
all teachers, and is evolving a student program of
study integrated on class levels; namely, freshmen adjustment to high school , sophomore personality study, junior fo rmu lation of correct soci11I
habits, and , finally, senio r p reparation for advanced
work, whether academic or comme rcial.
The warm interest and practical 11dvice which
Mr. Flagg brings lo each student who seeh a better understanding of the high school cu rriculum
ue creating a widespread appreciation of !he true
usefulness of his speciali~ed service .
Mr. Flagg mainta ins professional conlacl with coworkers in the field through his prominent participation in the activities of the Midwest Guidance
Association , an organiiation which has as its si11e
qua non "Education is Guidance."

MISS MYERS
The library is the heart of any school. W i'hout a good one, students and
teachers are at a great disadvantage. Our library is ve ry yo ung and is therefore in a stage of rapid growth . In the course of a few years, it wi ll compa re
favorably with the library of a ny high school of equal size.
Even the most c rit ical observer would warm to the be auty of our readi ng
room. The expansive, c irc ular ta bles, the luxurious chairs, the perfect light ing, the artistic appointments-all contribute to the comfort a nd p leasure
of the library patron . Four confe rence chambers and a magazi ne alcove
flan k the readi ng room.
Miss Myers, our capable librarian , says: "We have only begun on the
long task of building a well-rounded library. As the cataloging progresses,
material will become more available. In adding to the collection already .
begun, we strive for close co-operation with the various departments, as it is
our purpose to serve all.
Today the well-educated man must not only possess information, but must
understand how to seek and find it for himself. This is the goal of our library
-to help our students to help themselves."

�!f>relude to Citizenship
I
One of the importa nt aims of education is tra·ning in c itizenship, and a very practical pa rt of th is
traini ng is exercise in self-government.
To provide such - exerc ise on a wide scale, the
NTHS home. room syst em is so des igned that stu?ent opinion is made articu late. Pupi ls ai r the ir
ideas on school problems in home room business
session. Then duly delegated representatives carry
the ' voice of th e people" to the Student-Faculty
Forum, a clearing house for all school issues. In
this fashion , opinion is consolidated , and concrete
recommendations for action crystallize out of a systematic process.
Another way our school offers opportun ity for
realistic training in c it izenship is illust rated in the
NTHS participation in the BOYS' ST A TE OF ILLlNO IS. American Leg ion Posts and Chambers of
Commerce throughout th e state annually sponsor
trips to Springfield, where, for one week, boys selected from Il linois high schoo ls are instructed in
governmental procedures under most rea listic conditions. At our state capital, these boy delegate s,
chosen from thei r school constituencies because of
:heir outstanding qualities of leadership , are divided
into groups representing counties a nd towns. This
division permits fi rst-hand study of the princip les
and mechanics of the many state governmenta l
units. Party meetings are held, and candidates for
various offices are nominated . Elections follow,
and the winners' names are posted. W inning candi dates immediately assume thei r offices and perform their respective duties. In th is way , each boy
functions in some official capacity, be he a lowly
fire mars ha l or his excellency. the governor.
Then, in one all -too-short week, everyone str ives
to ga in a rud imentary grasp of democratic processes, from party politics to statesmanship. NTHS
rep resentatives to BOYS ' STA TE OF 1939 and their
respective offices were: Charles Carroll, Secretary of State; James W inklhofer , Senator; Werner
Heidtke, Representative; Robert Harms, County
Judge; John Ne lson, Deput y Sheriff; Robert Noesen,
Patrolman; Jack Kelly. Jury Commissioner, and
Robert Throop, Pol ice Magistrate. Another NTHS
delegation to Springfield will be sent this summer.
Our most recent citizenship tra ining activity was
a Model Democratic National Convention held in
[ 21]
the High School Gymnasium. Two hundred a nd
t hirty-one delegate s, chosen from the Junior and
Sen ior classes, proportionall y represented the States
and Territories of the Union. The scope of the
convention is apparent in the program.

This year the welcomed arrival of Journa lism
;·o the schools curriculum gave many wou ld-be
scribes an opportunity to explore this interest.
The chance io prove their journalistic abi lity
came with the publication of the NILEH ILITE, a
bi-weekly newspaper for the students of NTHS.
(See cut on page th irty-two.) The ob jectives of
the NILEH ILITE are t o publicize current campus
events, stim ulate pride in the school and its activities, and g ive the students real newspaper
experience. The year's work provided the staff
with all the thri lls of chasing down scoops, manag ing personal interviews, "beating" the tyrant
DEADLINE, and re cording an account of the
passing parade of 1940 at Nilehi. It is in the
cards that NILEH ILITE is destined to be "the"
publication of the school. Speculation is id le,
but the prospects seem definitely assuring.

Lively, progressive leadership, and skilfu l,
imag inative sponsorship enabled the Foreign
Language C lub to set a 1939-40 record of achivements i·hat rings a challenge to FLC members of
next year.
There are four language-student groups at
NTHS: French , German, Spanish and Latin. Each
conducts, in cyclic tu rn, the monthly assembly
prog rams of the club. Playlets, movies, guest
speakers, music, a ll dealing with ·the cu ltural aspects of the foreign languages studied, made interesting fare this past year. Occasionally the
entire student body was fortunate enough to be
invited. The year's activii·ies closed with a picnic.

There couldn't possibly have been another
president more "wrapped up in his offic!?" tha n
was Heriry Maier. His co-operative spirit at
the meetings and his able delivery of bulletins
over the speak~r system attested t o his compete ncy. And g reat credit very deservingly
goes to the capable co-sponsors, Miss Marjorie
Ronalds and Mi ss Kranz, for thei r excellent directorship. Foreign language course enrollment
[ 24}
shou ld mount next year.
�One of the most vivid of all our trips was the
one to Maxwell Street. The first sight of it is
amazing. Was it possible that one street-only
a few blocks long-could be so crammed with
people and merchandise? Clothing, food, hardware, and countless other wares were heaped in
high profusion on open stands.
"Only fifty cents-special bargain-cheapstep right up!" shouted the indefatigable vendor.
With a little bickering, we usually discovered the
article might be had for a quarter.
Then back home we came,-with the memory
of an experience that haunts us yet: a memory
of noise, smells, and squalor.
the See Chicago Club members filed into the
WLS studio to see "Plantation Party." There the
"Duke of Padooka" introduced the members of
the cast, and then·, with the flash of a red light,
we were "on the air."
Every word was timed to the exact second,
and, by signal from the control room, the fun
began. Our uproarious laughter and enthusiastic
applause was of necessity timed by the master
of ceremonies too; but this restraint did not make
our enjoyment any less genuine. Broadcast studio
audiences always feel the programs are too short
-no doubt because the performances are organized and presented to perfection.
After standing in line for what seemed hours,
Miss Ha rbert is the fou nder and the leadi ng spirit of the See
Chicago Club. He r tireless efforts and imaginative foresig ht have
broug ht this club to the ra nk of one of the largest and most popular
o rga niza tio ns in the schol. Indeed , its popularit y ha s grown to suc h
an ext ent that many sop homores and freshm e n have clamored fo r
admission, tho ugh the club wa s expressly o rgan ized fo r upperclassmen.
This enthusiasti c response ma kes very p robable that the cl ub wil l be .
enlarged next year . The See Ch icago Club will then have reached
the d ignity of a veritable NTHS institution.
Miss Harbe rt has been a member of th e faculty since the inception of the school, a nd has eve r devoted libera lly of he r time to
those extra -curricular activities which pe rta in to her field: the social
sciences. She has a lso been a most successf ul faculty adviser for all
schoo l dances, and every Junio r Prom. And th is year she has served
as director of the a ll-important social comm ittee. She is a lso adviser to the J unior class; and, in th is capac ity, help s solve ma ny a
knotty stu d e nt prob lem which , in variety, ru n th e gamut fro m t he
puzzle in the pressing query: " W hat courses of study shall I take ?";
to the urgent d ilemm a embodied in a frantic "What shall I do for a
date to the Pro'm ?"

"DO-Ml-SOL-DO" is the fami liar warble of the NTHS
songsters. This year's increased Glee Club enrollments
certify to the popularity of singing at our school.
The treble choir, composed of a select group of girl
singers, proved a most successful venture; while the Mixed
Chorus, another newly formed group, has earned deserved
laurels.
A program of song presented at the Sunday afternoon
MUSICALE last March 31st climaxed the departmenta l
calendar. A fine audience declared the presentation a
musical treat.

The MUSICALE of last March marked the initial
publ ic appea rance of our NTHS Band and Orchestra in an all-musical performance. When the
high school moved to its now quarters, the department of instrumental music found its first opport unity to undertake serious deve lopment. And the
MUS ICALE revealed t he sple nd id advance made
possible under expanded fac ilities. New instruments acq uired by the school last year contributed
rich ly to the qual ity of rend itio n. Continued development of the Band and Orchestra can safely
be predicat ed on the rapidly mounting school enrollment.

The Girls' Athletic Associa t ion is the la rgest single organization at
NTHS. One motive of our local unit is to cu llivate closer companions hip among the girls through p romotion of the ideals of good
sportsmanship and healthful liv ing. Miss Schaefer, as director, is
assist ed by an executive boa rd elected by t he girls at the beg inning
of th e school year. Activities sponsored by the GAA consist of
all-school hikes, parties, and dances. Gala events of 1940 were the
'Kids' Party, " t he Mothers' and Da ughters' Tea , and the dinner party
for neighboring GAA members. But "the " ou tstanding p resentation o f the year was the water carniva l " Egypti a," co-d irected by
Miss Schaefer and Mr. Wilkins . The story, "Egypt ia ," was a ta le
o f t he fo rme r glory of Egypt, of g lamorous and beautiful Cleop atra
and her roya l coterie. All the spectacular splendor of a ncient
Egypt was displayed in ord e r to .bring a b ril lia nt a nd colorful p ageant
to the sco res of interested spectators who f illed the pool bleachers
for t hree performa nces. The GAA mermaids had th e able assist ance
of a dele ga tion of am phibia from the NTH S boys' swimming squads.
Each yea r the GAA se nds seve ral g irls to the officia l GAA camp
at Lake Geneva, W isconsin, a ll expenses paid. This project alo ne
has roused intense interest in the o rganiza tio n, and though membership does not e mb race all the g irls in the school, the encouraging
1940 adv ance in enroll ment is an ind ex of the excel le nt tone of t he
associati on.

Although hampe red by in juries and lack
of reserve power, the NTHS Trojans enjoyed a fair season and wound up fourth
in Conference standin g. After a slow start,
the team gradually improved until, at the
close of the 1939 schedule, grid critics
we re agreed that the Trojans ranked among
the best in the Northeast Conference. The
Homecoming game with Arlington was the
high light of the season. A rlington scored
a last-minute touchdown to split the honors
with a 7 to 7 chalkup.
Losses against Lake Forest and Crystal
La ke showed an early season need for team
changes. Field was shifted from the backfield to the line in order to bolster the weak
Ni les Township defense and to provide a
distinct th reat on off-tackle smashes. . Several shakeups occurred in the backfield.
Art Baumhardt and George Warner
were among the best running backs in the
Conference; Jack Heiniger earned an enviable reputation as a passer. Field enjoyed the double honor of being chosen
captain a nd most valuable player.
.
The Woodstock encounter witnessed
the last gridiron appearance of seniors
W. O'Connell, Kellen, Field , Westerlund,
Baumhardt, Garner, Sullivan, R. Beder,
Nelson and Warner; while seniors Ford
and R. Harms were lost to the team
early last Fall because of collar-bone inf uries.
Most of the varsity team are among the
1940 graduates. But Nilehi fans are building their hopes on strong development of
the varsity recruits from the 1939 reserves.
Domas, Dahm, and Clark wi ll constitute a
promising nucleus of a new grid aggregation.

Early wins over Arlington, Warren, and
Woodstock seemed to have the Trojans
titlebound in the Northeast Conference.
But the Lake forest Scouts jolted NTHS'
hopes with a pre-Christmas season defeat,
45 to 36.
After the holidays, Niles Township seemed
to regain its stride, and for three quarters
battled the title-destined Crystal Lake
squad o n even terms. In the last quarter,
the La kers got "hot" and ran away from
NTHS, 42 to 30. A week later, the embattled Trojans took another beating from
a hard -fighting Libertyville five in a close
game, 29 to 27. However, by converting
their next home game into an easy victory,
the boys swept Franklin Park's qui nt~t of
tal l Leydenites out of the title race. But
up at Crystal Lake, the Trojans found the
Lake filled with plent y of "Rock," and so,
lost again, this time 41 to 38. During the
rest of the season, Niles Township vanquished Woodstock, Warren, Arlington and
Lake Forest. The Lake Forest win was
made doubly sweet by Boyk's establishment of a new high individual score of 32
points for a regional conference game.
At the Waukegan tournament, a revengeful Lake Forest team upset NTHS
in a game that was a rea l thriller, 39 to 35.
At the end of the season, Ed Boyk was
voted most valuable player by his tea mmates. NTHS loses seniors Boyk, Baumann,
Huscher, Harms , Ford, Schoeneberger,
Field and Shure. However, Trojan prospecfs f ind promise in ta ll reserves Thulstrup,
Podraza, Jarrett and Anderson; whi le little
Peterson and diminutive Cecconi are material to be reckoned with . Domas and
W illiams will be varsity carry-overs.

Last March , with the f irst promise
of warm weather, several squads of
baseball minded students trooped to
Oa~fon Park in p reparation for a
schedule of Northeast Conference
games.
Eddie Boyk, basketba ll artist del uxe,
led the i·eam 's mound staff. Ed pitched
one no-hit game last year against
Woodstock. Other veteran hurle rs
were Ben Domas a nd Frank' Thulstrup.
In the infield, Su llivan , Baumann,
Huscher, and ~ausr were standouts.
In the ouifie ld, Drueke, Podraza, and

Amidst the activity of the pre-Christmas season, the
students and teachers of NTHS entertained parents
and friends of the student body on December 16th,
Fam ily Night.
An elaborate stage production, co-product of the
GAA and Miss Klaus' choral group, was the featu re of
the evening.
As the house lights dimmed and the curtains parted,
the cover of a mammoth magazine opened. Framed
therein were a country lad and lassie eager for a square
dance. Then, to the expert fiddlin' of Mr. Collins, an
entire group danced merrily.
The stately Minuet, quaint and old-fashioned , next
brought to mind the day of the powdered wig and the
cuff of lace. To climax a potpou rri of specialty dances,
came two solo dancers, assisted by ballet girls beautifully costumed in pink net.
Most novel were the Christ mas carolers. In the
style of O ld England, they lighted their way along the
darkened gym stage with clever little hanging lanterns. Clea r and true rang out the voices in glad
antici pation of Chrisfmas Day. Finally appeared boy
and girl tumblers to amuse the audience with thrills,
but no spills.
Afterwa rd the guests found entertainment in dancing , cards, and bunco to conclude a most pleasa nt
evening.

�" Dramatics Night, " one in a series of " Know Your
School " p rograms, was presented February 22 to
-0 fu ll house.
Rela t ives and fr iends en joyed seeing
the accomp lishments of the dramat ics classes. Two
one-act plays, " Grandpa Goes H unting " and
'Wildcat W illie," we re enacted. A creative plot,
submitted by the audience, was wo rked out by a
chosen group. Characterizations a nd severa l readings also con tr ibut ed to a unique e ntertainment.
i·ions in the lives of one A ldrich fami ly, enioyed a
very successfu l Loop ru n last year.
" Parad ise ," a one-act skit, was broad cast ove r t he
ether waves . The audience was impressed with t he
work of th e radio classes. The ir pe rfo rma nce in·
d uded, as novelties, realistic sound effects a nd severa l cleve r impe rsonations.
Henry A ldr ich was depicted as a youth in his
t eens who just cou ldn 't remember dates in Roma n
history, and f ina lly, in desperation, borrowed answers, only to be fo und ou t in the end. Barbara
Pearson wa s gloriously gay and desperate ly depressed over the prospect of her fi rst formal d a nce.
Mr. Nelson, the assista nt principal, eventually
straightened out Henry's p roblem a nd set him on
the rig ht p a.th. These we re some of t he del ightful ly huma n elements in a play wh ich t reated the
problem of adjustment in the lives of teen-age boys
and gi rls.
Cu rta in cal ls for the a ll schoo l play, "WHAT A
LI FE," took place Aprii 18th and 19th and at a de mand performance on April 25th. This fast-moving,
three-act comedy, which served up comic complica-
Bot h casts g ave splendid performances and the
fo rty-eight members ha nd led t heir pa rts with
finesse. Ovatio ns were give n Mrs. Esch and the
players fo r a most successful production.

men, respectively, of the GERMAN, SPANISH, LATIN, and FRENCH CLUBS.
�<JJance
The maestro ra ised his baton, and the dance was
on! Couples glided smoothly by. Then: BO OM!
That gentle mood was shattered when the d rummer man broke loose: the jitterbugs went mad with
Hip ! Hoy! Hoy!
jim-jam- jumpin' jive! Hip!
Skirts, sweaters, sods, and clackin ' sadd le shoes
went swinging into the irresistible tempo. The
snake dance-how did it begin?-sudde nly found
everyone holding hands and zig-zagging across the
polished floor . The Foot bal l Dance was a hit !
And so was the Hallowe'en Da nce, even if we
a ll knew they we re bribing us t o leave t he gates
where they belonged.
Early November brought us Carn ival Time. Remember the barker's " Change your partners! On ly
a nickel a da nce! Wi t h t he Nickelodian, it's fun! " ?
Everybody en joyed it! And no wonder! Didn 't
Beanie Field preside as ch ief bouncer?
Then there were the after-school dances. And
the Junior, Senior, Freshman, and Sophomore
parties! Can't' forget Glenn Lenzen playing "Go-
ing to Jerusalem." O r the gay talk between passing cou ples. Or the refreshments.
Do you remember Suzy dancing with her Dad,
am;J J ohnny with his Mot her? Fam ily Night is always dedicat ed to Mother and Dad.
A nd remember Mary holding the door open for
J im? Helping him out of his coat? Bringing him
flowers! How each fel low did enjoy the attention
of his lady a t La Femme Hop!
To the tune of any young man's fancy came the
Spring Frol ic. How gay it was , with cherry b lossoms
and pussy-willows, and even a "Nick-Naming Contest" to amuse us.
Of course, the dance of the year was the Junior
Prom wit h its tradition of lovely flowers and forma ls,
its pageantry of the Grand March, its coronation
of the King and Queen. Beneath its bright surface
was a touch of sadness in the thought of parting
friends-a counter-mood which only heightened
that appreciation of the happy and fr iendly spirit
which always reigns at NTHS.

�Education makes a people easy to lead, but
difficult to drive; easy to govern, but impossible
to enslave.
-Lord Brougham
�m
HAVE so designed this 1941 year book that it
will reflect NTHS as a socialized democratic unit. The
people who constitute a democracy must be awakened
to their role; they must be trained to meet the complex economic social, and political problems which
1
face them. In classes and in student activities through
1
the home rooms and the student-faculty forum, in
all relationships between the administration the
1
faculty and the students, social consciousness is
developed. We hope that life in our school forms a
pattern for successful living in a democratic world. ·

Through the Student Faculty Forum, each
student is given an opportunity of voicing his
opinions in regard to school policies. The representatives, elected by the stud~nts, accept this
challenge of leadership.
Because they co-
operate in making our democracy effective, the
school. the community. and the nation profit.

�"Democracy is a way of life; its institutions,
such as government and education, exist to
serve rather than to enslave the people. If
democracy in education is to be achieved,
guidance is necessary in the process of adapting educational situations to the individual
student.
Guiding does not mean making decisions for
the student, but rather helping him to make
wiser decisions for himself. No democracy can
exist unless the electorate is capable of making
wise decisions. Therefore, guidance does promote democracy."

"This 1941 yearbook exemplifies the spirit which
abounds al Nilehi. Herein we find in ·w ords and pictures
the story of a year, which merely reflects the years that
have gone before. Pupils, teachers, administrators, all
are actively participating in the development of young
men and women who will be expected to help, in a very
few short years, those who will then need advice and
guidance.
To you, Seniors, I should like to give this message:
There may be some of you who think that world conditions today are bad, that those who are responsible
to a largo doqroo for your present inherita nce have not
done a very good job. If you think the world is in
need of improvement you should have seen it as your
Dads, Mothers, and teachers first saw it.
Baclc in 1900 and for some years alter, hardly anyone
had electric lights and gas lights were a luxury. There
were no automobiles lo speak of, nor any paved roads. A
10
d rive from New York to Philadelphia was an expedition.
The generation before you built tunnels, subways, bridges.
which make one gaze in wonderment, networks of highwo.vs and boulevards, parks and parkways for ·all lo
enjoy; that generation gave to the citizens of your CQUntry
a standard of living sufficient to permit a ll to enjoy the
automobile, the radio, and the telephone to an extent fa r
beyond the reach of pe~p le in other lands. The finest thing
however, which the last generation has g iVen you is free
education.
We hope you have profited by the opportunity wh ch
i
has been offered to you to develop yourselves intellectually,
socially. and physically. We hope also that your year s
in school have taught you lo live happily ond democratically together. Will you, when you leave school. continue
to believe in and live by these principles of democracy
which have guided your life for these past twelve years?
We, your Mothers, Dads, and teachers, hope you do. for
our hope in the future of our country lies in you."

�StuJenf -.A-ctivilied in Review
It is a well-established fact that education is not limited to the textbook.
For this reason, those who have charge of the planning of the activities at
N.T.H.S. have arranged for an extra-curricular program which, coupled with
the academic program, provides a well-rounded education for the students in
Niles Township.
..
This activity program has a three-fold aspect-social, athletic, and cultural. Dances, parties, club meetings, and trips fill the social calendar;
athletics of various types attract the sports-minded; clubs stressing cultural
interests offer an opportunity for those so inclined.
The following pages are devoted to a review in pictures of life at Nilehi.
As an outlet for Junior home room opinion a council was formed. composed of the representalives of the Junior home rooms . Th~ members of the council welcome the suggestions and
criticisms of those they represent. The responsibilily for class projects. class policies and Junior
social activities rests with the Junior Council.

�The acting. writing. staging. directing. producing. and publicity work
necessary for a finished dramatic production enrich those participating with
a fuller understanding and appreciation of the world in which we live. Students
who have worked with Mrs. Esch, our dramatic instructor. feel that under her
direction the development. of self-expression, poise, and self-reliance is
achieved.
Our music department at N.T.H.S. includes vocal and instrumental instruction. The orchestra and band with a complement of drum majorettes have
made several appearances during the year.
The choruses and choir have been recognized for their performances in
radio and concert work. Outstanding among their accomplishments was the
broadcast of January 4 through the facilities of WMAQ. The Spring Concert
in May is considered one of the outstanding musical programs of the year.
A course which includes technical instruction in theory, and music appreciation, combined with vocal or instrumental instruction, has proved helpful
to those interested in acquiring a musical education.

We are fortunate in having the physical facilities for an extensive sports program; the pool.
the football, baseball and hockey fields, the

�~or&/J-------------------Here was a scene that was entirely strange to himsoft and stalely music, impressive speakers, clusters of
parents, envious underclassmen, brothers and sisters
proudly pointing. Yes. it w as all strange and unfamiliar
in spite of the fact that only two short years before he had
seen his own brother graduate from this same gym. But
then ii had been different, he hadn't felt the way he d id
now. On tha t occasion he'd felt sad al seeing Jim leave
but it was in a detached manner. Now he felt sick, his
hands were cold and clammy, the pit of his stomach had
dropped out. Just like his first Varsity game-only worse.
"Hmm, that game against Northbrook on September 20",
he recalled. "I'll never forget that one. We were so glad
we'd started the seascn right with a win. Let's see, what
happened in that game? . . . Oh. yes. Ja ck Heiniger ran
58 yards for our opening touchdown. But that week spelled
trouble for us. Permer. Krier and Hegarty were all in jured
either in the game or in practice during the following week.
Merwyn Becker had already developed his pre·season
complex for 'charley-horses' and so we ha:i four experienced men out.
"The next week Libertyville's powerful team took
the Conference crown-overwhelmed us, but we followed
with a victory over Leyden in the final minutes of our game
there. Heiniger scored our only touchdown alter a sleeper
pass to Domas was completed.
"And then, Homecoming," he sighed, thinking of the
pretty Trojan rooters in the stands. "Mr. Taylor leading
cheers, the snake-dance through town. and finally the
bonfire with alumni back for the fun. Then. alter a decisive victory over Crystal Lake, the very successful Football Dance, sponsored by the Senior class, was held in
the gym.
"And then, the draft, and with it a solemn note perhaps,
but not for Nilehi. The reason?- a day off! Gee, hew we
kidded all the teachers who registered. That weekend, the
19th, we lost to Lake Forest, but a week alter that we beat
Woodstock. Domas and Faust really played their hearts
out in the unlucky Arlington game that ended the season on
November second. We captured third place and we worked
for it.
"Yes. that was a great football season . . . Springer's
tackling and centering . . . a great frosh team . . . a lair
Junior Varsity team. Remember, how they always worked
so hard to avoid being beaten by that freshmen team?
The Homecoming parade, with Carl Huscher's wreck taking
a first . . . Dave Jacobs "totin' "water in an overcoat and
fedora . .. Ted Canty hatching an egg in the J .V. Crystal
Lake game . . . Those homeccming pictures that flattered
us all. or did they?
"We had a lot of fun that fall, lets of assemblies, too.
There was George Morse on October 17, who told us all
about zoos and monkeys and very effectively imitated the
latter. And then on October 22 we had that interesting
Science assembly with Don Fisher acting as M.C. and
Phyllis Schlotterbeck, Jeannette Huemmer, Edith Luxem,
Gloria Bartz and Don Rhodes explaining the different exhibits on the stage. Oh. and en October 28 we had the
best of those assemblies, "Prologue lo Glory" starringwhal a girl!- Gene Bergmark, Zenon Turski and a couple
of the boys got her autograph. Her name?- - Why, Ellen
Hogue. remember?
"Alter that?--the Halloween Dance, sponsored by the
C. of C. for our enjoyment as well as lo keep us off the
streets and the football players out of jail. (We had
a full team for the Arlington game so ii must have worked.)
We had a Jot of fun dancing that night-and all the cider
and doughnuts we wanted . On November 4, the See Chicago Club opened its season of tours with a trip to WGN's
studios for Play Broadcast. Bob Moore had a prize in his
grasp until he forgot that water freezes at 32 degrees. The

next day the Problems classes voted. Bob Flynn acted as
head of polling-place police.
"And then, came Armistice Day with flags flying and
no school, followed on November 13 by the Harmonies from
Dixie. An an added attraction the band played; then
Howard Kiehm and Dick Wilson swung out on Oodles of
Noodles. On November 15, the GAA held the impressive
candlelight initiation ceremony inducting the scared little
frosh girls. 01 course, I just heard a bout this, I wasn't
present, for obvious reasons.
"Another successful Know Your School program, was
Foreign Language Night. Each language group was represented by a skit or activity, which demonstrated class
room procedure. On November 20 the basketball learns
played Evanston and woeful day- we lost! Thal week-end
was Thanksgiving, and we all came back to school on
Monday, happy and well f~d. On November 23 we met
the New Trier teams and won, the Varsity being victorious
in overtime. The next week we opened our conference
season with two wins over Arlington. Revenge for that
football defeat!
"November 30-the carnival . . . the school crowded . ..
tickets lloaling around ... Jimmie Holmes 'in "The Perfect
Gentleman" ... the xylophonists . . . the Keegan-Brielenbach
brawl w:ith Referee Huscher being carried out with the
participants . . . Betty Kelly whistling . . . faculty-hawkers
in the cafeteria .. . pumpkin weight.quessing ... synchronized swimming by Wright Junior College and Nilehi . . .
and finally, taxi-dancing in the Community Room . .. with
everybody having a swell time.
"December began with the whole school restlessly awaiting vacation. On the sixth we played Woodstock. The
Junior Varsity won and the Varsity Jost by one point.
Heiniger went in with 14 seconds to go and was ordered
out with one second left. Still playing football, huh. Jack?
On December 9 there was a Foreign Language Club meet.
ing and two days later the senior rings arrived. Were we
proud!- we still are, for that matter. The week-end of
December 13-14 was full of basketball. Four games with
Warren and Palatine; victories in all (although Paldtine
gave the Varsity a scare).
"On December 19 Phyllis Broeseke won the D. A. R.
award; she was selected by the seniors and faculty.
Catherine Ann Nelson ran a close second. Next day Miss
Lani's Christmas play was presented with Bob Eichelkraul
in a leading role. That night we traveled to Lake Forest
and barely beat them in two games. On the players' bus
we sang Christmas carols on the trip home. Christmas in
the air! Next day no schcol-nor for two weeks following
"Gee. I remember how tired I was the morning alter
the Alumni game and dance! We really showed those
oldsters how we play basketball in this school now. We
beat them in two games. The dance in the Community
Room followed the games. Next morning we got up early
and went down to the.-.W MAQ studies. Miss Klaus ' choral
groups sang and Mr. Co'tanche spoke. som:e of our students
were embarrassed when they missed words in the spelling
bee over the air a little later. We were back at school
on Monday and two days later the seniors all looked gr;,wn
up. The occasion was the taking of senior pictures. and
even 'Red' wore a suit although he evidently suffered.
Right, 'Red'?
"Isabelle H~th. Mildred Bergmark. and Phyllis Schlotterbeck won first, second, and third place respectively in the
Oratorical Contest on January 28. Were they proud! Dick
Paroubek did a swell job as announcer. On the 31st the
J. V.'s won but the Lake Forest team threw a scare into
our Varsity. We had our first Cheerleaders' Dance, which
was a great success."
�--------- -o/ the 1j.ar
"On the fourth of February we all attended Dramatics
Night-that is, the lucky people clid who gol tickets. Jo Ann
McKeown wowed 'em playing a pair of queens; Bill Stevens
acted brilliantly in his own play. Footlight Fantasy; Wayne
Barton and Mary Baumhardt satirized good acting very
effectively. Dramatics Night has really became a fixed
event at Nilehi. On February 7 a representative from
Northwestern University visited our school as the first on
a list of college representatives. which included Beloit,
Lawrence, Grinnell, Northern lllinOi,a Teachers' and Central
Colleges.
"February IS was Family Night; it was, as usual, a
success. Highlights of the evening . . . "Corley" Harring·
ton's interpretation of "Where Did You Get That Hat?" . . .
Helen Miller's Moon Goddess dance . . . Pat Reiland's
dance group ... lhe bartender's quartet ... Rosanna King's
long skirt getting caught in the tandem . . . and finally.
the greatest event of the evening- the band in their smart.
new, blue uniforms . . . and then, of course. the dance
until one o'clock. On February 21 we closed our conference
season with a thriller against Arlington. The J. V.'s after
ten straight victories and a championship had the bad
fortune to lose their lasl lwo games. On February 24 the
Singing Globe-trotter. a Russian, fascinated us with his
stories. songs and accent, in what was one of our most
enjoyable entertainments.
"Five performances of the Water Carnival held on
March 20-22, sponsored by the GAA, failed to satisfy all
Niles Township for many were turned away. I'll never
forget . . . Carol Blameuser and Leone Becker's perform·
ances at Lolita . . . the very beautiful flowers made by lhe
Art Department . . . Frank Thulstrup's tumble into the pool
. . . the Williams-Harrington double-dive . . . June Berg's
narrative abilities ... the synchronized swimming captured
by Bob Evans and Angie Weber . . . an exceptionally
·
enjoyable evening!"
Our hero snapped out of his musing when his first name
was called. Wasted effort! . . . The last name wasn't his.
He drifted back into the pasl.
"On March 28 the long awaited Senior Party was held.
Everyone had a good lime. Ed Springer in shorts ... Dick
Paroubek's flourishes as the villain . . . Gloria Bartz's
perplexity . . . (by the way. I wonder if Irene Betlinski
finally solved the theory of relativity) . . . the Reilands'
teaming up to win the Elimination Dance Contest . . .
Ralph Krier's basso profundo solo and Bill Peterson and
"Corky" Harrington's antics during the quintet's singing.
"The Arlington Heights seniors presented their play
on March 31 and all upperclassmen were excused for the
afternoon. Nice goin'! Dad and Son Night was held on
April first; basketball and sw;mming letters were presented.
The following Friday was Mother and Daughter Night. April
4 was Hobo and Character Day. Some of the costumes that
were around school would h::tve really passed for profes·
sional. Art Hannem(ln and Marilyn McKeever won the
first prizes. Shirley Dilg was good as Daisy Mae and
Helen Miller as Raggedy Ann. Among the casualties of
the day were Jack Reiland ·and Bruce Jarrett.
"The following week was Spring Vacation, which was
better than usual for the upperclassme::> who climbed
aboard three buses on Mcnday morning for a two day
excursion to Springfield. So much happened on that trip.
Let's see now:
"Wagon Wheel Inn, first stop for ice cream . . . New
Salem, Illinois, with its old log cabins . . . was there a
barn or a cellar in the place which we didn't explore? . . .
back on the buses! 23 girls and 5 boys in Bus No. 1.
wahoo . . . the St. Nicholas Hotel--a delicious dinner followed by more ice cream ... phones, radios. towels, soap,
ice water, all the comforts of home. and we took advantage
of them . . . that night. after the show! Ed Breitenbach's
new shoes! How'd he get lhem? . . . The Hag Parties in
Rooms 354, 356, and 358 . . . Cliff Whittington and Bill
Roman's practical jokes . . . the Calvin Clark-Bill Feich
night-long wrestling match ... and then, sleep along about
2:30 A. M. for most rooms . . . Next morning ... Breakfast
and then over to the State Building ... the State Museums,
the Senate. the Assembly in action. I'll call it action for
lack of a better term. Did I get red when the entire Nilehi
group was asked to rise when our representative introduced us as a body to the Assembly! ... then the governor
came out to meet us ... alter that, lhe hotel for lunch and
more ice cream . . . on the buses to Lincoln's home and
then to his tomb . . . finally homeward bound . . . arrived
at Nilehi about 11:00 tired but filled with wonderful
memories.'"
Most of the seniors, in the meantime. had stepped forward to receive their diplomas. Our hero's turn had not
yet come. He relapsed into bis contemplative state, an
expression hall joyful, hall sorrowful on his face as he
recalled those last few weeks al N.T.H.S.
"Thal first day back at school on lhe 14th with the
weather so nice and the grass emerald-green in the
Spring sunshine - the Spinster Skip on April 19 - the
"Ccke Bar!" Doris Mussil and her commillee did a swell
job on that dance. On the 21 there was an all-school
assembly. On the 24 and 25 we had the dramatics
high light of the year. the all-school play "Don't Talce
My Penny.'' This popular comedy based on the search
for a movie star, played lo packed houses. Orchids to
Mrs. Esch for her superb productions!
"And then, May with its uncertain weather and certain
school life and its abundance of track and baseball com·
petitions.
"May 16 was the date of Eighth Grade Night with
next year's poor. bewildered freshmen-to-be getting a
peek at their school for the next four years. This year's
freshmen hung around and made life miserable for the
newcomers. We Seniors felt old and experienced around
them. It was hard to believe that we were like them
four y~rs ago. On May 23 the Track team competed
at Crystal Lake in the Conference Meel. May 30 there
was no school. Memorial Day! June S and 6 were
days of tribulation for the seniors as they suffered with
their final. and I do mean final. exams. A few were
smart enough to be ezempt; these lucky Seniors could
stay home and prepare for the Junior Prom the next
night. What a Prom! The Junior Class really outdid themselves in preparing for that prom. The music and decorations were the best ever, or was it jusl because it was
my last year? Monday. Tuesday. Wednesday .. . everyone taking exams . . . and tonight, June 12 . . . Commencement!"
Suddenly our hero became aware of a multitude of
eyes fixed upon him. He wondered . . . "Have I been
talking aloud? Is my tie straight? Why are they looking
at me? Have I done something wrong? Maybe my cap's
crooked." He straightened his cap but still everyone
seemed to be waiting for something to happen. There
wasn't a sound; no one moved across the stage. "What
are they waiting for? Why doesn't somebody do something? Say, that name Mr. Cotanche just announced
sounds familiar . . . Why, that's my name! He's calling
me!" Our hero stumbled toward the front of the stage.
pushing his way through the rows of fellow-classmen.
The coveted sheepskin was in his hand. He grinned. He
was free. His school days were over. He was happy
as he made his way back to his place. Other names were
called, but he did not hear them. ffis mind drifted back
to those firsl few days in N. T. H. S. '"Funny," he
thought. "how sentimental you feel abcut a place you are
leaving forever."

�Your most difficult assignment?
That passage of Latin translation?
That geometry theorem?
That center position on the football squad?
That review for a special exam?
That committee chairmanship?
That leading role in the play? .
Well, yes! Those were assignments to remember!
But, there was one assignment vastly harder than those.
It was so big it included all other assignments in its broad sweep.
It was not something to be merely outlined or memorized.
It never had a "solution" tucked away in an answer section.
It could not be covered by writing a test.
It was immensely important. In fact, your four years in a
public school can be justified only in terms of this super-assignment.
It was so long you didn't finish it.
Indeed, by its very wording, you never can finish it.
Whatever true progress you made in it brought rich reward.
Now that you are leaving school, it will become even more
important in your life.
...
Your most difficult assignment was, and is:
Citizenship."

that most of NileHi noise doesn't

for cheerleaders sounded by Miss
Schaefer, who this year is organizing a regula1· club. NTHS's bouncing pepsters \vill have to watch
their N's and T's this season in

"Let's All Yell''
From Our Readers
Dear Editor:
Where in the world can we buy
school spirit? We certainly haven't
too much here at Nilehi. When you
go to a football game and look at
the few students in the bleachers,
you would think our school were
only half the size it is.
I make a motion that we get
some pep into us and back up our
boys. Who seconds the motion?
A Nilehilite R~der
Dear Editor :
Have you ever been startled by a
sudden "Attention please!" coming
out of the loud speaker? And doe:i
the "That is all" make you feel as
though the announcement were a
police call?
Well, it had that effect on me,
and I wonder if something can b::i
done about it?
I suggest that the announcement
be introduced and concluded by
melodious chimes. In this way, no
time would be lost. As soon as the
chimes were sounded, everyone
would sit up and take notice. Needless to say, our announcemen.tq
would sound much more prnfcssionat.
Very truly yowrs,

Are You a Critic?
Every student has a c1·itical mind.
He judges justly and unjustly. Everything is criticized, ranging from
t~1e curriculum t o student activities. The instructors, the school
board, the janitors; none are exempt from his criticism. Everything is criticized but himself !
The fault does not lie in the student's critical attitude. It is his
privilege t o make inquiries, suggestions and criticisms. However,
the privilege is sometimes abused.
Criticisms am often made without
a thought g iven to the efTect. Unintelligent criticism warps one's
personality and seve1·s friendships.
Unless you have sufficient reason,
do not make any criticism. On the
other hand, some criticism is just,
and must be recognized as such.
The average student is sincere
and wishes to learn. Although he
is critical, his attitude is usually
justified due to his ardent desfre to
learn. The student must, however,
bear in mind his position as a student.
Were it not for criticism, life
would be dull. In our years at
school we pass t hrough an important stage in our life. In this period
ci-iticism is truly needed. C1·iticism
and taken. We, as students, should
- just criticism - m ust be gven
strive to benefit from such criticisms.

"Our Day of Thanks"
f
In 1621, after the : ast harvest of
the New England colonists, Goveri-or Bradford proclaimed the fu'st
Thanksgiving day by setting aside
a day fo1· prayer and thanks. During the Revolution a day of national
thanksgiving was recommended by
Congress. Washington proclaimed
imch a day in 1789. In 1795 Washi:rgton again proclaimed a day of
thanks for the general benefits and
w€lfare of the nation. Lincoln in
~864, designated the last Thursday
m November as Thanksgiving day
and his proclamation has been fol~
lowed by succeeding Presidents
with the. exception of our pr:esent
one. ThIS year, our President
Franklin D. Roosevelt, has agai~
proclaimed the second last Thursday o! Novembel' as Thanksgiving
d1y.
Thus, throughout the past centnry andone half,toAmericans have
reserved a day thank God who
has so faithfully bestowed ' Tich
~Jessings upon our nation, preservmg om· peace, health and happiness.
We, as students, should thank
God that the schools of oul' nation
a1·e not indoctrinated with any
fo1·eign 'isms,'' and ask that the
schools continue to develop our intellect, char.acter, and love for
democracy rather than poison the
young of our n~tion with any teachmgs opposed to our one 'Amei·icanism."

there were judges, committees,

Trojans Point To
Successful Season
Three questions occupy the Trojan rooters' minds as the 1940-41
basketball schedule opens. Can a
team which he.s depended on individual stars maintain the same
reco1·d when those stars arn gone?
\'!hat a1·e the chances of M1·. Galitz's Varsity? How does Mr. Kent's
Junior Varsity shape up?
In spite of the fact that only two
major lettermen, Domas and Williams, a1·e returning, the Trojan
Varsity will be stronger defensively
than last yeru-. The loss of Boyk
with his 231 points may lower the
point column but good teamwork
and passing can make up for his
absence. An encouraging note was
seen in the driving offensives the
Trojans showed against Northbrook and Zion Twp. High School
in recent sc1·immages. Off the record, the Varsity has one of the best
chances in the Confe1·ence to cop
the crown.
Aspirants fo:r the forwa1·d jobs
are Domas, Podi·aza and Jarrett.
Thulstrup and Taylor are vieing for
the center post and Peterson, Williams and Anderson are after the
gua:r:d assignments.
The Junior Varnity is as strong
in its department as the Varsity,
standing an excellent chance of
taking the J. V. title: Some of the
outstanding candidates for regular
positions are Carroll and Carl
Domas as forwards, Weldon at
guard, and Glauner at center.
Mr. Isaacson's frosh squad, although inexperienced, has speed
and power and should pick up the
majority of its games this year.
Some of the sixteen boys comprising the team are: Gockenbach,
Meyer, and Cooke, forwards; Leibrandt, center; Poehlman, Harrer,
Grant and Kuhn, guards.
The Varsity and J. V. teams open
the practice schedule on Nov. 20
with two games at Evanston. On
Nov. 23, New Trier, whom we beat
last year, come~ to our floor for two
games.

Six Trojans Play
Last F ooJ.ball Game
NileHi Trojans closed their football season by dropping a tightly
fought game to a spfrited A1·lington
Heights squad on November 2.. A
highly excited Homecoming crowd
at the Cardinal sb·onghold saw six
Trojan seniOl's finish their high
school playing days in a disappointing 6·0 defeat.
The fact that only six regulars
are graduating and a good F1·eshman squad coming up has stimuk~ted the enthusiasm of the coaches
in next year's Varsity.
Jack Heinige1·, senior, proved
that he is one of the best i·unning
b'lcks in the conference with his
off-bckle slants and sweeping end
runs.

from last year's book? Who is croing to get it ready for the print:r?
How much will it cost? These questions are being asked by many of
the students, and below are the
answeTs as given to the NileHiLite.
The 1941 vear book will have approximately J one hundred pages.
(L3st year's book contained sixtyfour.) It will again be a spiral loose
leaf book with a cover somewhat
similar to that of last year's book.
It will contain eight or ten pages of
pictures of the building, the administration offices, the officers, and
the faculty. Ten or twelve pages
will be devoted exclusively to the
seniors. These pages will include
individual photographs of and personal comment about each senior.
Then there will be some sixteen
pages of school activity pictures. In
addition, this 1941 year book will
include copies of all issues of this
year's NileHiLite specially printed
to match the rest of the book.
Many students will have an oppoTtunity to contribute to this

Platter Chatter
Everyone has probably been suggesting millions of things for you
to give as Christmas presents.
Whether or not you have record
fans on your list, perhaps some of
these may "hit you," literally speaking. 1\.11 of you hep cats should be
in your glory with the jive that's
jumping. We guess most everyone
has heard "Beat Me Daddy Eight
to The Bar" by Gie'1n Miller -it
really isn't as brutal as it sounds-.
Another good one is Charlie
Barnet's "Pompton Turnpike."Have
a listen to it sometime. Barnet is
one of the few orchestra leaders who
can play the sopran~ sax well.
If you really go ~n for heavy -but
mig~1ty solid-swing try Ben11y Good
man·s 12 inch record of "Sing Sing
Sing" or "Board Meeting". For
smoothies try "I Don't Want to Cry
Anymore" by Barntt, Tommy Dorsey' "Shadow on the Sand" and
"Looking for Yesterday," Miller's
"A Handful of Stars," an d last but
not least, Erskin Haw kin's "Ashes
in the Tray." If you hke novelties
you will undoubtedlyenjc·y Millet's
"Five O'Clock Whistle," or a honey
of a solo job by Kruoa's trumret
man on "Love in My Heart". It gets
under your skin.
These suggestions may keep you

Sometime during the fo11owing
week each student will i·eceive his
report card with a combination Teport including his exam grades, his
period grades, and his semester
vades. If this repol't is unusually
good - and you know it isn't your
WOl'k but the wo1·k of your classmates, parents, friends, etc. - do
you feel proud? Not many people
would but maybe you're the type of
student who pTides himself on receiving good grades, no matter how
you get them.
Have you thought of what your

Our Leaders of
The Faculty Forum
Richard Paroubek
I guess you all have seen that
tall, blue-eyed young man around
the school. WP.II, just for your info'
he is Dick Paroubek, "prexy" of
the Student Forum. Afte1· a little
nel's uasion we found that his favorite sports are bowling and basketball, and that his pet peeve is people who say, " 'Bye now' l"
If you want t o get in his good
graces just seTve him turkey and
~11 the ttrimmings, his favorite
food. A.,.,d on the sly, we found
that he likes to dance to the music
of Dick Jmgens with a ' certain
dark hafred, brown-eyed sophomore
who answern to the name of Rosan-
na.
Barbara Rasmussen
She's five foot one, dark with
brown eves, - you guessed it 8Prba1'a Rasmussen, vice-president
-,f the Student Forum. Here's a lit'-l B hint, don't call her up early in
the morning, because her pet peeve
is to have the phone Tinp. while she
is brushing her teeth. And as for
t.Pmnting her apnetite, 8he loves a
thi --k juicv steak smothered with
onions. When not dancing to the
music of Tommy Dorsey with her

would say. As for heT plans after

'<now is blonde. blne-eved " Phvll"
Braeske, secretarv of the Stt•de,.,t
Foxum. You would never guess it,
but her hobby is aviation scranbooks and collecting aiTplane models. That hot fudge sundaes aTe
quite popular with heT tells no tale
on her figure, which she keeps in
trim playing golf, swimming, riding and bowling. She is also a
cheeTleader and is one of N.T.H.S.'s
most t alented twirlers. Her favorite baPd is Dick Jurgens, too. And
boys here's a tip, - her ideal boy
must be a good dancer, happy-go1~1ckv, courteous and mechanically

St. Valentine Day
Dates to Cladius' Reign
As cur id dive. bombs over our
peaceful campus, we wonder, "Who
started all this?" Cupid himself is
more or less innoce""'t of it. The executions of St. Valentine, way back
fo Claudius' reign set the date, February 14. It was common belief that
birds coupled on that day. From
thatnotiongrew the young people's
custom of choosing a "valentine"
for the ensuing year. Now, we literate creatures send written expressions of feeling. Knowing that
St. Valentine's Day is of such ancient origin we must conclude that

Phoebe convinced herself that she
knew the man. TTipping daintily
(how can anyone trip daintily?),
she planted herself beside him, and
to his astonishment pansies began
to bloom. Phoebe had known
Adolph in school, so they had a
grand time talking things over.
Adolph made several suggestions
on how she could get rid of her

Then Adolph poured his heart out
_u ner and it dripped all over the
scat. Phoebe couldn't say anything
because she had a frog in her

something, she always put her foot

Adolph held her eyes and then gave

up to them. Adolph beamed as he

Phoebe's face fell and her eyes popped out. She stooped, pulled up her

a hasty exit. So ends another of

Swimining Clinic ·
With Evanston .
The second year of swufuning at
NileHi is now drawing to a close.
Considering that this is only the
second year that swimming has
been offeTed, it .can be called a successful and profitable season.
This year's team showed ·much
improvement oveT last year's team.
To begin with, it was twice as large,
giving Coach Morgan Taylor mol'e
material to work with. As the season progressed, the · Frosh-Soph
team gave pTOmise of developing
into a stTOng varsity in the coming
two yearn . This is shown by the
fact that they have won severnl
meets against tough competition.
Our t2nkmen had 12 meets this
yeal', eight of which were at home.
The boys who contributed so
greatly to the success of the swimm.ing teams are: Howard Grant,
Bud Tracy, Walter Reiter, Tom
Gook, Alfred Wittorf and William
Dahm.
Both diving teams, Frosh-Soph
and Varsity, enjoyed a fair amount
of success. The boys who handled
the diving are: Ray Nitch, Jim Ritter, Walter Reiter and Jim Moore.
The futuTe of swimming at NileHi looks very bi·ight. However, the
"ttendance at the meets could be a
lot better.
This afternoon the1·e will be a
:>wirr:ming clinic with the Evanst on teams in the NileHi pool.
The "mermen" selected RayNitsp
andBud Tracy as honorary captains
of the Varsity and Frosh Soph's respectively.

A GREAT
DILEMMA
When he awoke, d_.wn was creeping
stealthily upon the still _world._ T~e o_b_jects

through the .gray fog. He was thinking
.... think.:ng - knr,>wing that today_ was
the day it must happen - he knew if he
tried to escape it - !Us reputation would
be ruined. B~ must pay for bemg a
braJgart. He snuggled under the cove~s
and tried to sleep. He couldn't sleep, it
was useless. ·
The silence was broken by .five loud
chimes that se;1t shhers threugh his
body. If only he di~n't have ~o - but
he did. He tossed and turned and at last
fell into a restless sleep.
"Get up !" bis mother called as _she
shook him. Be mumbled what ,might
ha"e beea "yes." He kiclrnd off the covers :- nd then jumped out of bed. Something troubled him ....,.... oh yes - ! he remembered. He dressed qui<;kly but with
gre::it care, and went d'<rnm to breakfast.
Scarcely touching his food. he grabbed
his hat, muttered goodbye and rushed off
to school.
He w2lked down t he corridor. Voices
greeted him on every side, but he heard
no one. He came to the room 216. The
room was :filling rapidly with gigg~g
girrs and boisterous boys. He glanced m
- no - lie couldn't - he must get away
- he started down ; the emptying corridor, then he stopped. Squaring his
shoulders, he t urned and walked back
toward the room. Every step re-echoed
at the far end of the corridor. In his
minQ. he saw his destiny and shuddered.
Closer and closer he came to the dreaded
room. He walked in and sat down in his
accustomed seat. There it was, sitting
beside him. His heart beat fast0.r as he
looked at her. She was Cynthia Von
Bloire daughter of the socially prominent
Von Blairs, coming to this rural high
school to learn the quaint ways of the
country children. But she was gorgeous
and every bov in town dreamt of introducing her to his friends as "my girlfriend." He had ·bragged that he knew
her so well - he could date her any t.ime
he felt like it. If he felt like it. Tri.en
they jeered at him ~d he grew angrier
and angrier, "All nght, you'll see," he
had said. "I'll bl-ing her to the Senior
party.'' There he had donf~ it - now???
He poked her arm gently. She turnerl
to him and her eyes met his, "Did you
want something?" she asked in a well
modulated voice.
He stammered, "Ah - ah - no - ! Miss Lant cut him short, "Quiet, I've
given you enough work to do, have you
read yoPr story, Cynthia?''
Cynthi P's color rose as she smiled
sweetly, "No, Ma'm."
"Then get busy!"
Now he had done it! He had embar.ra ssed her in front of everybody. At last
the bell rang. As he gathered his nooks,
he watched Cynthia out of the corner
of his eye. Then he caught up his books
and ran after her, "Cynthia, may 1 see
you?" then his glance fell upon the g-ossiping girls who were swarming about
her ;onrl he ad•led . "Alone!"
Cynthia pushed her pompadour away
from her forehead, said, "SURE."
They walked down the corridor leaving the wide-eyed girls staring with surprise. "I'm sorry," he began, "that Miss

Corny stood before his mirror admir·

wanted to look especially well dressed
for this occasiOn, because he was escort:

"Ah! Elaine--!" he mused as he smiled

Corny took one last glance at himself
and rushed down the stairs three at a
time. He dashed out onto the porch and
stopped short. He gr.oaned in dismay.
There, instead of their new car, stood
the old Ford truck that his father used

A Busy GroupThe Junior Council
Though a few scattered Frosh
have not yet heard of the Junior
Council, this year's Junior class has
witnessed plenty of action from
their cabinet. Ueeting each week,
the cabinet argues and wrangles
over problems concerniag Juniors
in much the same manner that the
Forum handles all-school affairs.
In addition to this routine, ths coun·
cil has arranged many class entertainments, and also sponsored most
of the sophmore assemblies.
1
The year's activities began earlyin October when the group met and
offici~lly elected Bob Moore president, and Donna Jean Cotanche
"ecretary. Other members, elected
as representatives by their home
rooms arf': Janice Yate~, Ruth Roberts, Pat Reiland Glenford Bremner, Bernice Franson, Virginia Reuter, Jean Floros, Shirley Kluesing,
Grace Langan, Madonna Wetting~
gale, and To-i Thlemennos.
Etiquette program, a probable
class party, and the Junior Prom
have been featured topics. Pace
making in Prom preparations, the
JuniorCouncilhas been established
as the cental"power plant".
As six Prom committees· begin
their race against ti.me, rough organization already promises a super Prom. Plans .... sketches .... detail
......scripts .. ......and layouts keep the
general chairman-Pat Rielan<Ir-de-e-...oration; Jean Florun, programs;
Glenford Bremer, lighting; Grace
Langan, advertising; Shirley Kluesing, Prom King; and Madonna Wettingal, ticket sales busy biting
their fingernails. Junior home room
teachers form the coordinating staff
of social advisors.
All aboard! Next stop June 7... ...

Tracksters
Start Practice
The second year of track at NileHi opened Wednesday, March 12,
'\vith a record turnout of 65 candidates. The freshman class, which
has already proven itself sports·
minded, was represented by nearly
40 candidates. Although the outlook at this date is uncertain, we
venture to predict that both teams,
Varsity and Frosh-Soph, will be better than last year's teams.
Coach Morgan Taylor states that
meets-hav~ been scheduled with the
following ' schools: Crystal Lake,
Lake Forest, Arlington, Waukegan,
Proviso, LyG.en and Libertyville (triangular Meet!. The Trojan tracksters will compete in the Palatine
Relays and will' close the season at
Crystal Lake in the Northrast Conference Track Meet. The first meet
for the Varsity_will be on April 17
at Crystal Lake.

Swimmers - cont.
Any student who was unable to attend
the tryouts during the past week must see
Miss Schaefer before the end of school today, if they are interested in gaining admis·
sion to the class. Yesterday the team presented their rythmic swimming numbers
at Lakeview High School in a demonstration before adults enrolled in Physical
Education and Swimming there.
NileHi will be represented in the Central
A. A. U. Meet, April 17, at the Shawnee
Country club by our first year synchronized

Langan, 4; Coursey, 3; Alecson, 1;
and Wareham, 1.
On April 18, the Trojan vru·sity

champions. The squad was com~osed of 12 varnity men and 12
Frosh-Soph squ~d members.
George Schrmtt took second in

The team has Leen under handicap through injuries and a few
ineligibilities. Everybody was sorry
to hear that Ben Domas was

The first game at Waukegan ended 5-0 and New Trier won here by

On The Draft
Every boy, sooner or later, must
serve one yeaT in military training.
'.:. hnt time will soon anive for many
of oul' s eJ1iors. The age limit, 21
years, seemingly places the present
gr a du ates at a disadvantage.
\ / ouldn't it be bettel' for the young
r::en to spend their yea1· immediately afte1· completing high school and
then return, going to work or college. Numerous advantages may
be seen in having youths enter before they are 21 years of age.
Many promising jobs and positions will be filled by high school
graduates this summer. Most of
these youths will progress for two
or t hree years, at which time their
advanced position will be inte1·rupted or lost by the law.
Life in the army is a great physical builder-as attested by many
local youths who have spent some
time in that life. Along with physical development, the1·e is great
character development through the
ligid exactness and qualifications
of army life. These would undoubta bly aid the youths in leading a
better life as a citizen of this coun-

Travel?
A Job?
Play?
Not Sure?
No doubt, when SPRING FEVER was epidemic, you vowed, along with most
of the rest of us, to spend the vacation days at the luxurious business of catching up
on your sleep.
But, by now, you are busy scheming schemes and planning plans for the good
old summer time.
Why not budget your tilne so as to include one or two courses
in the Niles Township Summer School of 1941?
THERE ARE REAL ADVANTAGES!
Summer school attendance will enable you to
a. cover required courses to allow more electives
during the regular school year;
b. learn to swim, or impove your swimming, during the~season when swimming is most enjoyable;
c. make up lost credits;
b. graduate with a June Class if you are a midyear student;
e. learn typing for personal use, or improve your
typing speed in a review course;
f. enjoy the benefits of individualized instruction.
All of these advantages are available to you at low cost.
... and, you will still have thirty eight days of vacation time after
the summer term closes !

�are reporting for
duty. The world is drafting us
in its war of nerves. Can
we take it ? In World
War I it was a struggle to keep
the "World Safe for Democracy,"
but in this war it's a struggle for
democracy itself. Our freedom
is at stake and we
must fight for it
together.
What will be our uniform ?
Perhaps an olive drab or navy blue,.
perhaps the overalls of a defense
job, or a Red Cross cap.
What will be our tools? The
needle and thread, the
scythe, or the blowtorch.
What will be our memories ? Perhaps
when our children ask us the significance of December 7. 1941 , then
we who are now eighteen will
look back through the years and
think of the,.,_courageous, fighting,
42
patriotic America of '_ struggling
to keep the Stars and Stripes flying.

�SCHOOL LEADERS
eight hundred students are divided into 27 homeroom
groups. Each gets a sampk of direct representation; each sends a
delegate to the ruling body, the Forum, which plans and executes
the commendable suggestions of students: each hears the minutes
of former homeroom meetings and of the Forum.
During the last year the Forum and the homerooms supported
the Red Cross drive, the Homecoming week-end, presentation of colors at assemblies, the purchase of the juke-box, and the Trojan Hop.

Grandmother Suzie or any person from the days when McGuffey was the peer of
education, should be reincarnated in the form of a typical high school student and
go through a day at NTHS, what do you think would be their thoughts ? Would
they wonder at the architectural achievement which we take for granted? Would
they miss the whipping stick and gaze with awe at the teacher's human attitude?
And would they, most of all, be amazed at the extra curricular activities? It is
no supposition that the·answer for all these questions is an emphatic " yes. " Clubs,
swimming, athletics, plays, art, G.A.A., and numerous other activities, while beneficial both in an educational and social value. serve another purpose: that of relaxa tion for the mind and body. Is it any wonder that after a period of swimming,
history isn't so hard to absorb? "V" then, is for the volume of applause that should
be given to our school.

you've hit a wall. Not only fun but an extra he1ping of work is also in store for
the Trojans. During four years at high school some try to crowd in as much fun
as possible and keep good grades. But then there are some who don' t bother about
the "grade clause" and they' re the ones who say to incoming freshies, "Ob, you 'll
love high school- it's easy!"

�ALL
good things come in pairs-at least around Nilehi. The instrumental and choral groups are " just-like-that. " The carnival brought out
the king's blue uniforms of the band members and the chorus joined them
in the presentation of Round- Up Night.
Separating the partnership for a time, the choir traveled on the air
waves for its second appearance at WMAQ on October 25 . Midst a back·
ground of evergreens, the choruses presented their Christmas concert and
introduced community carol singing. The concert was also the second
performance of the treble choir of 12 girls.
The music department ushued in spring with the annual concert
and again joined the occupants of 10 l. They marched out together at
commencement, ending for many seniors their musical career at Nilehi.

A drama-radio department under the direction of Mrs. Ruth Esch is available to every student at Nilehi. Drama and radio classes afford
the students their chance to express themselves
and at the same time to acquire poise and control which will mean so much in their post high
school social and business life.
The radio students write. direct, and produce
spot announcements pushing into focus the sport
events, the dances, club meetings, and charity
drives.

T WELVE straight conference wins and the first
undefeated Northeast Conference championship,
as well as runner-up position in the Waukegan
tournament, highlighted Trojan activity on the
hardwood. Seventeen wins against seven defeats
marked the school's most successful basketball
season.
Bob Podraza, voted most valuable player,
was top conference scorer with 192 points.
Floyd Hunziker was chosen honorary captain. Prospects for next season look encouraging as only seven of the 28 varsity men will be

on Nilehi's Irish "Mick" who has
earned distinction as a cabbage-loving
president.
Starting at 4'10", a size-and-onehalf smaller than Jimmy Holmes, the
brown-eyed, smiling Irishman began
his freshman days as home room president and football quarterback, also
playing basketball and baseball in
their seasons. As he came into "manhood," 6'8", he continued as president
and quarterback, and has recently been
elected chairman of senior H.R. 4L.
Meet the man who measures in every
way to the standards of the typical
president, Bart Hegarty, who for four
years has been able to say, "The meeting is adjourned."

brown-eyed charmer who is :M ardy McKeever. Already an ex-chorus girl,
lost from H.M.S. Pinafol"e, Mardy has
a main-spring in dramatics and radio
writing, with little wheels everywhere.
This senior smoothie claims a strong
"accent on youth" as one of the youngest members of her class.
Mardy's recipe for the ideal male
contains the following ingredients: a
cowlick which will not be blitzed by
water; brown eyes; a crazy, unrelated
prattle; and the ability to write interesting and amusing letters in a horrible scrawl. Mellow with one toll call.
Her hobby is collecting optical illusions. For further details, see Mardy!
Sophomores Guide Frosh
And Give Helping Hand
"Your problems are mine" might
well be the slogan which 40 sophomores are saying.
Last year, 40 freshmen were so impressed with their plight as typical
greenhorns that they decided this evil
must be eliminated. They therefore
volunteered to be freshmen "advisers." Each one has four or six advisees. Under the guidance of Miss
Marjorie Ronalds these 40 knowing
sophomores will make the problems of
200 freshmen their own.
Plans are being made for a freshmen-sophomore day at which time all
sophomores will introduce their advisees to Miss Ronalds. The sophomores will also help the freshmen
plan their first party.

Dear bewildered freshmen:
Is high-school a perpetual puzzle to
you? Are you overcome by the endless activities of the day? If so, just
overlook the insufferable conceit of
the upperclassmen and follow these
ruloes:
1. Never bring g1lm to school. We assm·e you thei:e is always some to be
found stuck un<ler your desk. ·
2. Always show up to class with your
proper books. Some of them that will
help you rate low grades are comic
books, and blood curdling mysteries.
3. Buy all the passes you can for the
elevator at the end of the N orthenst
y et.
If caught in the act of attempting
to follow any of these rules, students
will be immediately disqualified in the
search for the most intelligent freshmen.

Fields in Boys Intramurals

With wildcats, loons, tigers, lions,
hippos, pythons, fleas, crocodiles, polecats, reptiles, birds, and insects running loose in the boys' gym classes,
Nilehl 's intramural touch football
league got under way last September
22.
In case the reader is confused, this
year's league is a zoo league, with
all the teams bearing the names of
animal life. In this way, according to
Mr. Harold Isaacson, boys' physical
education instructor, the names are all
uniform, short, and easy to remembe1·.
Six Game Schedule
As in other years there is a six game
schedule, with two games being played
a week. The winner of ea·ch period
will play the winner in the corresponding period until two teams have reached the finals. The championship game
will probably be played before the
whole school. The winners will then
have their names insc1i.bed on a plaque.

Some of t he stranger animals which
run around on the two touchball fields
are the mongeese, caterpillars, roaches,
sharks, flickers, termites, skunks,
cheetas, rats, worms, jackals, babboo:ri.s, eels , guinea pigs, and even
' swoose.'
New Rule Grants
Substitutes Wishes
This year Coach Isaacson has a
school for signal callers which meets
every morning 8:15 until 8 :45 to plot
destruction for the enemy.
Attention, football fans! At last
your worries are over. No more will
y ota have to sit worrying if t here have
been too many substitutions.
According to the new rule j ust
passed by the National Football association, a team may put in as many
substitutes as it wishes. This rule will
allow the coach to supervise his team's
playing by simply sending in a man
who will tell the quarterback what the
coach thinks about the progress of the
game. Too, the rule g ives a team that
has a big squad of players an advantage over a team with a smaller squad,
because the larger team can keep
sending in fresh men regardless of
numbers.
The only time t he rule is not in effect
is in the last two minutes of play when
the clock is not stopped for anything.
In other words, whenever there is a
Hme out, unlimited substitut ions may
be made.

By Harley Anderson
All reports indicate that 1941 is
the football year for the Trojans. With
th1·ee deep at almost every position
Coach Isaacson has a team that can
stand shoulder to shoulder with any
team in the conference.
Two speedster backs, Ed Krupa and
Lee Kuhn, h~ve shown Coach Isaacson
they have what it t akes. Frank Bouffard, big sophomore guard has
sfrengthened the forward wall w ith
his fine play.
In the games with Evanston, Northbrook, and Lake Fo1·est the team has
shown a toug h, hard brand of football.
Although the team has come along
fast, there is plenty of room for improvement.
Although boys go out fo1· football
to forget study from the hours of 2 :30
to 5:30 under Coach Isaacson, the boys
have undergone tests on plays. Some
of the boys proved smarter than was
expect ed while others just hadn't
studied.
"If the boys don't become self satisfied," said Coach Isaacson, "chances of
NTHS ending in the d.river 's seat in
the North East conference look mighty
good."

Tax-ey Dancing Hits Nilehi
'What first made our pa1·ents readjust theii· budgets? Why
must Nilehi students also cut down on cokes and sweets to pay
for t he increase in admission p1·ices and cafeteria sales? Answer:
Taxes.
Supexintendent R. E. Cotanche has advised all organizations
in the school of the new tax admissions, beginning October 1.
Each person paying any admission must be given a ticket showing
the price of admission and the United States tax. A stub, numbered t o correspond, must be retained by the school.
The new· prices fo1· all major events will be 27 cents plus a 3
cent tax for pupils, and 36 cents plus a 4 cent tax for adults. It
would be impossible for the student funds which support programs,
the expenses of athletic contests, and geneTal school activities to
assume this tax on admission charges of 25 and 35 cents. Based on
last yea1..s admissions, the student funds would have to assume this
year's $350 OT more. The school believes this cannot be done.
This is not the only tax applied to the school as there is a.
2 per cent state tax on all sales in the cafeteria. This tax went
into effect at the beginning of the school yea1·.

Mr. John Lienhard, club sponsor, starting it last year. Robert Krier is chairman of the ushers. The captains of
the monitors during the fourth, fifth ,
and sixth lunch periods respectively

Five New Teachers
Added to Faculty
Miss Jean Maskrey of Chicago, a
graduate of Northwestern, is the newest addition to the faculty. She teaches English and Spanish classes.
The four other teachers who were
added to the Niles Township high
school's staff this fall are Mr. Robert
Mackey, Miss Edith Lytle, Miss Lorraine Spikings, and Miss Bernice
Palmquist. Miss Rosemary Miller is
the new clerk in the office.
Following is a thumb nail sketch of
Mr. Mackey. In following issues will
be sketches of the other new teachers.
Mr. Mackey coached and taught at
Northbrook high school, ten miles
north of Skokie, previous to his arrival
at Nilehi. Besides coaching junior varsity teams this year, he will instruct
in the shop and art departments. He
was graduated from Lewis institute
with B. A. and B. S. degrees.

Plan Big 'Strike'
Trojans Pin Hopes for Title
On Leyden Game Tomorrow
Leyden will be host to Nilehi's varsity and junior varsity teams tomorrow afternoon when the Trojans test
if the Eagles are as powerful as they
are rated. The games will start at
12:30 and 2:30, respectively. Tomorrow's game will undoubtedly deci<le
the fate of Nilehi's 1941 football aspirations. If the Trojans win, they are
still in the race; if they lose, any
hopes for a conference championship
will have dimmed considerably.
Coach Harold Isaacson is counting
heavily on the Trojan line to hold the

SJNCE THE LAST READING of
Termites, the varsity bowed to a tough
Warren team 7 to 0. Five days without pra.ctice did everything but help
the men of Troy in this engagement.
Crystal Lake defeated and dimmed
hopes for the North East championship 12 to 0 in the Homecoming game
last Saturday. Krupa was lost to the
team due to a foot injury received in
the parade. The Trojan J. V.'s put
down the Crystal Lake team 26 to 13.
THE 35 FHESHMEN who reported
to Coach Galitz are showing improvement. After dropping an 18 to O decision to Maine, the team triumpherl 6

sizeable holes are opened, the Eagles
have two speedy backs waifing to
pour through. Leyden beat Woodstock, 26 to 0, to run up the highest
score made in the conference this year.
Leyden also beat Arlington, one of the
b~tter teams in the conference, 6 to O.
Victory Prospects Good
As it has never beaten Niles Township, Leyden is naturally pointing to
this game as the one to break the jinx.
The Eagles lost a thriller to Nilehi
last year, 7 to 3. They had been leading into the closing minutes of the
game. On a trick play Nilehi scored
the touchdown which beat the foe.

The black-clad figure, cape flying,
and a broomstick trailing behind,
gazed into a huge volume and read
thus to the astounded Bertha: "Folks

"The school is co-operating," she

Continuing to gaze into her brillian t crystal ball, she added, "I am

Honors at Audition
Erman Kramer, New Senior President, Claimed by Eleven
Assumes Leadership of Class of '42
Seven group~ . which tried out at
the N.B .C. auditions held October 23,
"Well-'er-you know," constituted the
only feeling Erman Kramer could
modestly stammer when asked how he
liked being senior president. Being
head of a group, however; is no innovation for Ei·man since he was president of his class at Gale school .
The Arkansas Trnveler would find
a person of his own type in "Erm."
For Erman hasn't stayed long enough
in one place to even "get the smell of
it." Born in Port land, Oregon, Erman
has taken a hop-skip-and jump across
the continent by way of Chicago, Albany, N.Y., New York City, and finally Skokie. Conseqiiently, Erman has
attended numerous high schools: Albany high, one month; Baysides, N.
Y., one year - establishing a new
record for Erman; Sullivan, two weeks;
and then to - guess where?

The seven accepted scripts were
written by Rita Miller, Cherie Neutz,
Mardy McKeever, and Evelyn Myers

Those who won are now eligible to

All scripts and monologues were

Dear Editor:
I'm just an ignorant junior ·with

a "Martin and the Coys" affair. Isn't
it ridiculing Emily Post's standards to
print "Joe Blow fo1· President" across

teacher's permission ? Isn't it rather

ought to know. He's the popular monitor on the northeast stairway every
fifth period of the week.
Personality smile, nice tan, and genial manners make Eddie a well-liked
junior around N .T.H.S. His past ime is
spent in sleeping and downing milk

ease if Kay Kyser , his favorite orchestra conductor, plays something
quiet.
"Ko doubt," mused Eddie, "certain
teachers think that I am in a sleep
most of the time. That may be so, but
I think better when relaxed."
Eddie enjoys sports and the jingle
of money in his pocket. His ambition

15 Trojans Say
Goodby Sat.
Tomorrow as Nilehi plays host to
Woodstock's varsity and junior varsity, 15 Trojans will fight their last
grid battle. The games will start at
12:30 and 2 :30 p.m. In this, the last
football game of the season, Woodstock will "shoot the works" in an
attempt to close victoriously tbe '41
campaign.
Trojans Favored
Each team has fought the same conference opponents and so, on the basis
of past scores, the Trojans should win
by at least two touchdowns. Against
Lake Forest the Trojans won 6 to 0
while Woodstock lost to the Foresters
13 to 0. Woodstock lost to Leyden 26
to 0 while Niles T ownship won from
the Eagles 20 to 7. However, this was
Woodstock's first game of the season
and since then it has been improving.
Team Plans Victory
Reports from Coach Isaacson indicate that the Trojans have definite
plans for ending the season with a
victory. He has put the team through
stiff drills the past week and unless
last minute injuries occur, the team
should be just about at top st.r ength.

Highlight Gala Night
Assuming the guise of a circus, the
"big night" will be presented on December 6, instead of November 14, with
the gym as the big ring. The winning
name for the affair will be announ•ced
soon, according to the publicity committee.
Mrs. Esch promises that dramatic
interest will not be lacking. Other
features of the night will be taxidancing, booths, and the proverbial
favorite - refreshments. This year,
as an added attraction, the planning
committee has in store a floor show
which will include acts by students.
Outstanding feature of the "big
night" is that homerooms are planning
the affair, each homeroom being required to submit one idea for the prog r am. It is the desire of the fa'culty
sponsors that the student body cooperate in the show's organization and
presentation.

In honor of N a ti on a I Education

"Our new pictm·es," said Miss Louise

with about two and a half years of fine
money from overdue books."
Dedication ceremonies took place all
day Wednesday in the library as each
English class became acquainted with
the pi'ctures. The program was under
the supervision of Miss Ruth Lant.
Names of the pictures are "The Bell's
First Note," a picture of the Liberty
Bell; "Call of the Sea," showing Washington as a young boy; "The Rail
Splitter," depicting Lincoln's youth;
and "Writing the Declaration of Independence" another historical picture.
The remaining three p i ct u re s are

First of the Nilehi ·winners to appear on the High S'cb.ool Studio Party
broadcast over W.M.A.Q. November 8
at the Merchandise Mart was Mardy
McKeever who wrote and starred in
"Love off the Record."
Mardy shared honors with Chris
Lindhoy '41, former stage and radio
favorite at Nilehi. Chris played the
part of David, a Beethoven victim,
whose views on the :finer points of
music did not coincide with those of
a girl whose heart belonged to Glenn
Miller.

grammar s'chools, very few high

should be more flag conscious. If the

successful, the procedure will become
traditional.
BRILLIANCE RUNS HIGH in Miss
Marjorie Ronalds' Latin II class. "It's

Covers for Service
It's modern desig n that makes the
big difference - on land - on sea and in the art room. More than on e

for the army and navy have just been
complet ed by the sh1dents in the major art class dire'cted by Mr. J. G.
Wilkens.
The colored 6 by 9 inch folde:s were
made in the dry or wet brush stroke
with all folder designs being original
and no two alike. Some of them are
caricatures of hungry sailors and
rushing privates.
First year art students have been
creating Hallowe'en compositions in

used were pumpkins, children, witches,

to stimulate creative imaginations.

Ed Breitenbach Voted Most Valuable;
Ray Nitch Elected Honorary Captain
As if to further prove the statement,
"It's the blockers that coun t ," the
members of the varsity football team
honored
two linemen, Ed
Brei tenbach an d
Ray Nitch,
wit h the
most valuable player
award going to Ed
and honorary captaincy to Ray. The
spark behind this year's fine line play
was 188 pound tackle Ed Breitenbach
whose fine defensive stands, spirit, and
offensive blocking prove him deserving of the most valuable player trophy.
Eddie has played varsity ball for four
years, winning three major letters.
Any opponent stopped by Eddie's
side of the line would try t he other
side only to run into another stalwart
senior, Ray N itch. Ray is 192 pounds
of solid muscle who plays as though
each of his tackles is a game in itself. And for such a spirit it is not
surprising that he was elected honorary captain. Ray is also a veteran o.C
the gridiron having played three years
on the varsity and having won two
majors. Being captain elect of the
swimming team, he also has won
majors in swiming and track.
The unhappy fact about these two
awards is t hat the winners ha,·e played their last year of football for N .T.
H.S., so regrets and 'c ongratulations
are in order fo1· these two "champs."

After all the natatorium is a warm
place to spend an afternoon.
The freshman basketballers, 19 in
number, are smaller than the squad
of 40. However, according to Coach
Isaccson, the boys make up for this
in aggressiveness and spirit. Although
the team is not so smooth as it might
be, it is expected to take its share of
victories.
Boys out for the team include John
Aliprandi, Norman Bailey, David
Berg, Gilmore Catanzara, F rank Corso, Jack Fredericks, Joe Gaglia1·do,
David Hawkinson, E d Heartstedt,
Walter Herman, Jessie Holli:field,
William Kunkel, Joe Pennacchia,
Authur Anderson, Earnest Reiman,
Jim Shepherd, and Bob Wedel. Managers are Winger and Paul Jacobs.
Excluding last Wednesday's results,
bowling reports have the Chemistry
team on the top of the boys league
with nine victories and one defeat.
Members of the team in'clude Henry
Matchen, Jack Allen, Joe Weber, and
Herb Mueller. Henry Matchen is high
man with an average of about 175.
"Fish duck :fish" might easily be
the name given to the game of Water
Basketball as played in the boys swim
classes. Two three minute halves of
ducking, swimming, and shooting a
ball through two foot hoops give the
teams plenty of exercise. The game
takes place at the deep end of the
pool. The t eams are identified by their
fishy names.
Vernon Drueke, four year varsity

Give 'Thoughtfulness' Gifts
To Friends Throughout Year
'If you ever hear anyone ~y he
doesn't have enough money to
buy Christmas gifts, you can
smile to youi·self knowing that
there are a hundred little things
he could give, things which do
not cost a cent.
A smile to a lonely stranger
may light up his morning. Remember the day the pretty girl
smiled at you when your team
had just lost the game? It helped to brighten things, didn't it?
And a willing, helping hand with
the Chxistmas cleaning does a lot
toward making Mother's Christmas a happier one.
Life's too short to miss all the
opportunities for making it a
merry Christmas every day of
the yea1·, and sincere friendship
is one of the loveliest gifts you
can give. One kind word to a
disheartened friend will be some-
thing he'll remember long after
your comr:act is broken and is
thrown away.
You are the youth of today.
Let age look through your young
eyes for age may have forgotten
to see ripe wheat dancing in the

the sun. These scenes are some
of the most beautiful paintings
in all the world, nature's paintings which can't be purchased

Let others enjoy your vitaij.ty

America. Your laughs, jokes,
and dancing feet will do much to
lift dreary hearts and worried

Your spirit and hopeful outlook must fill the gap in our

Making 54 per cent of the shots
from the free throw line, Trojan baskctccrs have shown a definite weakness in this department. The 19 missed against Maine, the 15 against
Wanen, and the 11 which escaped the
hoop in the New Trier game did not

Sinking 24 out of the 98 shots attempted in this game, the boys were
26¥.i per cent efficient.
Podraza paces the team in scoring
with Sto'ckfisch, Carroll, and Hunziker

Nilehi Students
Prepare for Raid
Although chances of an ah- raid on
midwestern United States are seemingly remote, Supt. R. E. Cotanche recently planned and executed an authentic air raid drill at NTHS. Following exacting details, students and
teacher s co-operated fully with this
wartime measure.
On the basement, first, and second
floors, the scene of the mock alarm,
teachers, as wardens, were stationed
at both ends of the halls. The top
fl.oor, which would be dangerously exposed in case of bombing, was cleared
comple_ely as janitors patrolled the
t
roof , armed with pails of sand to exting uish :fires that might be set by incendiary bombs.

the Trojan fish can point to n successful season. The team's power is growing, as evidenced by broken records,
more wins, and closer scores. Though
most of the varsity squad will be

Lepidop era, b utterfli es and moths
to you, are Stanley Kendall' s chief interest. When he's not busy with trig
or 'chemestry, he's re I axing and
mountin g some of the most beautifu l
specimen s ever seen.
Stan, a senior, is about six foot one,
brown hair, and a mind for rememb ering scientific data concerni ng Dame
Nature's children.
"My inte1·est in entomolo gy has carried me through many fields," he said,
"It all started with leaves and twigs ,
I guess. Then, it sort of got out of my
hands and the next thing I knew l
was collectin g everythi ng from rocks
and minerals to skulls and the feet of
birds."
Stan's collectio n of butterfli es and
moths numbers more than 150. Some
come from Jndia, Australi a, and
South America as well as from the
sta tes .
,
The National Biological associati on
has asked that his 'collection be ineluded in its display at the Stevens
hotel. His collectio n was here last
spring with many addition s such as
the Owl butterfly whose undersid e
looks exactly like an owl's face.
In scouting Stan holds the distinction of being an Eagle Scout working

of a sudden I found myself in room

in there - must have been my womanly institutio n.
You should have heard the kids in
that room saying things like, "Who

- who stole my wings?" Well, I WILi

how was I to know that they had a

But that ain't all. Just to satisfy
my womanly cureiosit tee, I turned

And, you should have seen the krazy
way they deckorat ed the room-dr ied
up roots, framed insects, 11tu1fed animals, and even the "gooey" insides of
some frogs and stuff. Mr. Benette,

Last F rid a y senior boys went
through their first class of conditioning. This class which was created to
put the boys a step ahead in the war
emergency, includes marching, chinning, running, and tumbling, as well
as other forms of exercise. It is being
well received by the senior fellows.
The boys aren't the only ones
going in for conditioning these
days. )foans and g roans accompany six hard minutes of calisthenics which precede each volley
ball game in t]).e girls' gym class
es. By the way, have you noticed
the cute new uniforms the leaders have been wearing? Don't
they look s nazzy !
Ted Canty is running the mile every
morning in preparation for the varsity
track team. According to Ted the
ankle he broke playing football is as
strong as ever.
Girls, be s ure to practice ping
pong during volley ball season.
'W hen that season draws to a dose
the ping pong tournament will
begin. The first eight rounds will
be played after school. Entering
the tournament is optional, but
every girl must play sometime
during the spring semester.
Babushkas, too numerous to mention, seemed to fill the halls at the
close of last semester. If you noticed,
most of them had water logged expressions underneath. They were the
girls who belong to the society of late
swim make-ups.
Pins flew for Jean Holmes and
"Duke" Hezener as they won the
annual mixed doubles bowling
tournament with a total of 627
pins. Second place went to Pat
Dean and Bill Dahm with a total
of 610 pins. To the winners went
medals emblematic of victory.

Vital Game on Feb. 13 Clo~ing Swim Meet
Championship at Stake
With only th ree more conference
games left to the season, t he varsity
quintet girds itself for a finishing spurt
to hold the conference lead. Tonight,
the Lake Forest Scouts, who have a
record of wins and defeats exactly
opposite to ours, invade our court to
attempt to live up to their traditional
jinx.
The Trojan cage rs go into battle
with the Scouts, to gain their ninth
vi'c tory in the conference having won
eight by defeating Crystal Lake 41 to
36. The J.V. also were victorious,
beating the Tiger's second place J.V.
41 to 31.
Even the schedule seems to be on
our side this year. Our return match
with Libertyville will be our next to
the last game, enabling us another
chance to an untied championship
should we lose to Leyden who comes
here Wednesday night or Warren,
whom we meet February 20, here.
The Trojan five travels to Libertyville to determine the championship
of the Northeast conference, on that
unlucky day, Friday the thirteenth.
The only defeat that Libertyville has
suffered so far was our victory by two
points at the beginning of the season.
so they will be out for revenge as well
as the championship.
Should that day and game prove unlucky for Libertyville, a team of exuberant Trojans will present Niles
'Township High School with their first
untied undefeated championship.

Sees Records Fall
Shatte1-ing all previous school records, two of Nilehi's "water boys"
plowed the waves at Main e Township
in record -breaking time. Though both va rsity and frosh-soph swimming
squads were defeated by )faine's wellestablished tanksters, NTHS gained
an aquatic victory when Gene Lebbin
and Al Wittorf broke their own records.
Lebbin, in the 100 yard crawl, felled his old mark of 1.07.1, recording
1.04.2 in this event. Similarly, sophomore Wittorf erased his former 50
yard breast-stroke mark of 39.5 seconds, chalking up a new low with 36.5.
As the season closed on Nilehi's
third tank team, final statisti'cs point
to Lebbin, Gerhardt, and Nitch as the
'41 Trojan pacemakers in crawl, and
diving, respectively. As in past years,
the squad's chief setback has been a
weakness in number of swimmers,
especially in breast and backstroke.
Next year the varsity will probably
count heavily on the support of
Holmes, Wittorf, Cook, Christensen,
and Heinz, since most of the varsity
leaves in June.
Seniors Challenge
Tall Faculty Team
The five seniors who will mount
their noble steeds to battle the faculty
as well as their long-eared means of
t r ansportation in the donkey basketball game next Saturday, have not yet
been chosen. A ruling that all seniors
out for basketball cannot play, will
limit the field of choice to seniors on
inti-amural teams.
The starting positions on the faculty
quintet a1·e hotly contested, but a decided" height advantage will probably
be the determining factor. Coaches
Taylor and Galitz will flash as forwards while senior adviser, Mr. Harold
Ohlson will battle it out with his mule
at the center's position. Staunch guard
material in Messrs Kent, Flagg, Mackey, and Isaa'cson will probably prove
to be a defensive advantage. Mr.
Clement Meier, Mr. J. C. Benette and
Mr. John Lienhard will undoubtedly
relieve exasperated players .
Sharp-shooting Superintendent R. E .
Cotanche will not appear with the
faculty members but will appear, instead, with the Skokie Rotary club in
the second game of the triple header.

Friday Is Payment Deadline
For 'Instalment' on Annual
What has forty pages, a black and
white cover, and is full of picture
after picture of you and your friends
in a certain midwestern high school
of some 800 students?
You guesed it, the Nilehi Reflections
for 1942 is hot "on the press" and is
due to be ready for delivery some time
around June 1.
Rumor has.it that Editor Dick Hartney and the journalism class, Mr. John
Benette and his photography class,
the engraver, and the printer are collaborating mightily in order to make
this the finest Nilehi Reftections ever.
Naturally, our financially struggling seniors will receive their copies
of the yearbook free, this being a custom at Nilehi (and something you
freshmen will appreciate in '45). To
the i-est of the students the price is a
meager 50-cent down payment in the
cafeteria next Tuesday, Wednesday,
Thursday, or Friday. The second installment of 75 cents will be paid at
iime of delivery.

athletic teams in action, all this year's
Nilehilites in the hack at no extra cost,
a pictorial review of this year's school
events, and, most of all, a book which
yon will look upon in coming years as
an increasingly valued po!!session.
I Save Your Pennies
Reading, from right to left, are Pat
Canty and James Tagney, two farseeing freshmen who are looking
ahead to the day when they will be
owners of their fir st yearbook, the
Nilehi Reftections of 1942. Jim, as the
picture shows, is saving his money so
that he can make the 50-cent down
payment Tuesdll.y.
This Makes It Official;
Forum Has a President
Bob Moore is now officially the
presid ent of the Student Faculty
forum. At an election held on February 10 Bob was reelected by one vote
over Bob Eichelkraut, the only other
nominee.
If the reader is confused, it's like
this: Bob always was president, but it
was recently discovered that, being an
alternate, he was not actually entitled
to hold office
Three actions could be taken to
remedy this situation: 1, That alternates be made equal with representatives; 2, That the office be declared
open and a reelection held; 3, That all
representatives and alternates from
Bob's home room resign, making it
possible for him to be a representative
and eligible for office. The third choice
wa s taken .
On the cash side of Nilehi's defense
effort the sale of Defense Stamps in
the home rooms continued in high gear
with "history repeating itself" as the
seniors of Miss Adelaide Berry's home
room led for the third consecutive
week.
However, last week, the fourth
week, it was a different story with
two home rooms, Mr. Harold Jsaacson's sophomores in 213 and Miss
Louise Myers' seniors in the library,
both reporting 100% returns for the
·first time. The library had finished
high in the standings for three weeks
and last Friday Ruth Oppice, chairman of stamp sales in the library,
finally inveigled her senior colleagues
to "come through" and beat their class
rivals in Miss Berry's room.
Sales Reach $801.20
Total sales to date have reached
$801.20, a figure far beyond the original hopes of Miss Marie Green, faculty
chairmain of the drive, and the Student Faculty forum Defense Stamp
committee. The highest figure yet
reached was during the week ending
January 23 when a total of $2'95 worth
of stamps was sold.

Skokie 3133. Yes that's her phone
number but chances are the ·line will
be busy. That's to be expected from
a per son with as varied interests as
Rita Miller, Nilehi senior. Tops on
her list of diversions is Davey Jones
who is somewhat of a glorious hobby
with Rita and from the feminine viewpoint that's not hard to understand.
In spite of her many interests the
bronzed belle has managed to maintain a C average in her scholastic endeavours and still finds time for dancing and knitting.
Eccentricities singularize Rita who
blends her own lipstick from scattered
remnants of used tubes which anyonC'
would have long since discarded. Short
skirts, 99 44/100 percent obliterated
by overgrown sweate1·s, comprise her
favorite garb, and a station wagon
coat protects the belo,·ed ensemble
from snow and rain. Speaking of rain,
Rita is one of those fortunate indh'iduals who doesn't fear for her hair
when rain th1·eatens. H er ebony locks
possess a much-envied natm·al wave.
Allergy causes Rita a great deal of
trouble and it takes anything from
Guy Lombardo to permanents and long
skirts to bring on violent spasms of
disapproval.

W~ asked Dan Petty, varsity baseball pitching prospect, what he
thought of being a human guinea pig
during the recent science assembly.
He replied, "See this scar on my nose.
Shocking wasn't it?"
Speaking of baseball, Mr. Kent, varsity coach, announced that practice
will start about March 15, with all
pitchers and catchers reporting at
that time. Coach Kent expects to have
a fair infield, and able pitchers and
catchers; but the outfield is one big
question mark. According to Mr. Kent,
all varsity positions are wide open.
A note to underclassm en: Baseball

'Stitch in Time'
Is Modem Design
Whirr •.. whirr . . • "Modern Design" in sewing machines enables the
girls of Miss Alice Line's advanced
sewing class to turn out well-made
professional-looking garments in spite
of varied difficulties.
Here are a few typical situations:
Frances Hamilton disgustedly tried
to thread a needle. Finally it dawned
on her that the hole was at the wrong
end.
Theresa "Skippy" Sutter woefully
ripped out her third basting thread.
She had been sewing on the wrong
side of the material.
Janet Lutkehaus spilled her box of
pins so she sticks around the janitor
because he sweeps them up by the
dozen.
All laughed at Mary Abbink when
the bell rang before she could be fitted - a slam of the door and Mary
disappeared into the fitting room.
Campaign for ~ssembly Lounge Chairs
Bet\veen the lulls of groans about
no spring vacation, we'll try to remember some of the funny things that
have happened lately. If they don't
make you laugh, you get double your
money back. On second thought, at
least we'll apologize.
Couple of the Week: Jeanne Nelson
and Jack Allen.
Saying of the ·week: "I can't have
the car;· I'm being punished for ditching."
Did you see: Dick Boyd at the Libertyville game? His new cheer resembles a Negro spiritual with laryngitis.
Did you also see: Ed Krupa and
"Heine" Dahm looking everywhere for
a comfortable chair Tuesday after
school and Bettie Perrin, Eleanore
Klinge, and Joan Briggs not being able
to look a chair in the eye. You can't
please everyone. Tuesday, classes were
vaguely empty it seemed. But the
missing occupants were spending a
day "on the house" in the assembly
room. They each got one chair but
that's all and "Lucky" Luckman expected to catch up on some back sleep
but found out those assembly chairs
don't make very good beds.
Didja know Mr. Ohlson won a lollipop from a senior
at the d on key
game? Those darn
animals made
everyone selfconscious because
they'd come to the
edge of the stage
and look at the
audience as though it were in a zoo.
I sn't it awful? You'd think a certain teacher would put on weight the
way she craves food. She was in such
a huITy to get down to lunch that she
was locking her door when Ruth Roberts saw a little girl sitting in the
room.
Plea from a gal losing her mind.

side of Downwind's face looks like in

shocked when Arlene Rechtermann

Bob Podraza thought up a new play
February 20 when he bounced the ball

Woodshop Boys To Get
Honorary Certificates
Here comes the Navy - ranks and

Robert Mackey's woodshop classes
will hold the positions of cadet, ensign, lieutenant, lieutenant commander, commandel', or captain aircraftsmen. These ranks will be awards for
careful attendance to duty in building
the 50 model airplanes.
To become an ensign aircraftsman,
for instance, three models of any
specified type will be built, including
a scout bomber and an observation
plane. Of course, each rank is harder
to attain and for the highest rank it
is necessary to build ten different
planes of various types.

Walking in on the set, the actors

"It took me two years to finish the

incredible but it is true. For when
Foster sat down to draw Val's adventures for the first time he realized he

'Defense Bus ines s' Includes
Things You Like To Eat Too
Help keep up the home front with
good health!
Miss Alice Line, home economic s
instructor at N.T.H.S., recently disclosed some facts concernin g the matter of foods for health in the high
school.
Four of the most essential elements
of diet for each student are a quart of
milk, one egg, fresh fruit, and at least
two vegetable s, all of which should be
a part of every day's menu. At every
meal at least one hot di11h 11hould be
served.
Chocolate , it seems, should be avoided as much as possible by high school
students because it irritates the l!kin.
Miss Line advised that whenever a
person feels the call to eat candy, he
might try an appetizin g fruit instead.
i
"Fresh fru. t and green vegetable s,"
stated Miss Line, "furnish vitamins
and minerals which are necessary for
growth and preventio n of disease."
"Dairy products, " continued Miss
Line, "and under-gro und vegetable s
are essential to prevent decay in
teeth."
For the student who has a hard
time making the hus each morning
and consequen tly has gone without
breakfast , here is a morning breakfast
which will fit into a ''hurry-up " program and yet furnish the necessary
energy; fruit, breakfast cereal or buttered toast (or both), and a beverage
of milk or cocoa.
Luncheon may include any number
of foods, some of which are listed
here: soups, vegetable s, whole wheat
bread, sandwiche s, meat or meat substitutes, fruits, custards, wholesom e
puddings, milk or cocoa.
At dinner, a suitable meal would
include meat or fish, bread and butter, vegetable s, salad, dessert, and a
beverage.
"If this· menu, or one similar to it,
were followed, we would really be
'all out for defense'," quoted Miss Line.
Promisin g to one of the year's best
bets for outstandi ng variety and fastmoving entertainm ent are the 1942
dramatics and radio nights, March 26
and 27.
This top entertainm ent had, until
this year, been offered as a free view
of the inner working of the school's
drama departme nt but was restricted
to parents and relatives of cast members who were admitted by free
tickets. Non-dram atics students and
their friends, who until this year were
not admitted to the program, will now
have an equal opportuni ty to see the
show when tickets go on sale at 15
cents for everyone.
Week in Dramatic s
Thursday night: A typical week in
the majoring dramatics class with the
group applying what it has learned
8bout make-up, speech delivery, and
impromp tu acting. Following thia,
Larry Mil1er's satire on the soap-oper a
starring Grant Kuhn, Cherie Neutz,
Bill Dickinson , and the author. Then
a character ization will be given by
Ruth Roberts. Mildred Bergmark 's
excerpt from the New York stageshow "Good Morning' ' will precede
the curtain call.
Different Type Show
Friday night audiences will view
another cast in a different type of
show. Rita Miller does an about-fac e
on army life with her radio-fan tasy of
a woman's army. The cast includes
Rita, Bill Dickinson , Ruth Roberts,
and Shirley Kluesing. Complem enting
the performe rs are Grace Langan
switching platters; Wayne Barton,
producing ; and Pat Dickinson , directing.
Mardy McKeeve r represent s the
major dramatics class in her playreport and Larry Miller, M'Lou Leonard, Merle Iverson, and Joan Blaumeuser offer their varied character impressions . A scene from "Stage Door"
will be Elizabeth Krysher's contribution to the evening. Grant Kuhn and
Danny Dever collabora te in a fiveminute skit.
Their on-the-sp ot demonstr ation -0f
radio writing will be the advanced
radio classes' last contributi on and the
final act of the evening.

PLAYERS, coaches, and managers
ha,·e been honored with banquets by
two of Skokie's leading Civic organizations, the Rotary Club and Chamber of Commerce. The team was presented with a trophy by Mr. Asa B.
Chapman of the Chamber of Commer'Ce. The trophy, emblematic of the
Northeast Conference championship,
is inscribed with the names of both
players aml manage1-s. Plenty of food
and good entertainment featured both
banquets. The Trojans finished the
season with a record of 17 wins and
7 defeats. Much of the Cl'edit for this
fine record goes to Coach Galitz.
e YOURS TRULY lNVADED the
boys' locker room to find the lowdown on the track situation from Trojan trackmen. Results follow: Howard
Johnston was the first to return from
the afternoon jog. After a quick
shower Howie exclaimed, "I'd like to
run the mile but probably I'll be doing
• the half. I'm tt·aining on plenty of
citrus fruit s and sleep."
Peace and quiet was then broken
with a barage of boys including Biegert, Langan, Hollifield, Hollows, and
others all slightly on the sweaty side.
"Jeep" Paulson strutted up, cocked
his arm, and exclaimed, "Put me down
for the shot and discus."
Helmet Biegert broke in, saying
jokingly, "I'm planning to pole vault
15 feet."
At which Hollifield shouted, "You
do 15 and I'll do 16."
Lee Ballow put in, "I'm training on
pork chops. n
Russel Bair, "Steaks and steaks for

"Gerry" Gafford shot past saying,
"I come fa like Crosby's horses. That's
why I'm out for shot put."
Leroy Kuhn, flying groundhog,
said, "The 220 will do for me."
At which "loud cheer" Boyd said,
"Two miles would be easy if I didn't
have to carry Epson the last mile."
Epson's retort was deleted.
Words of wisdom were flying from
everywhere. It was too much.

Six Veterans Return
For Cinder Practice
Taking advantage of the early
spring, Nilehi's track team has been
getting soft legs and poor lungs into
shape by ·a two mile jaunt every day.
Forty-eight hopeful boys brave chilly
w inds to get into condition to earn a
place on the Frosh-Soph and Varsity
teams.
For the first time, the cinder eaters
have six retuming major letter winners bolstering their ranks. Ray Nitch
will pace shot put candidates and
Larry Miler the milers. Ted Canty will
be the veternn in the half mile event;
Stan Kendall will return to the low
hurdles; Bob Eichelkraut ~nd Erm
Kramer will present prospective quarter-milers trouble.
Tryouts for the coveted positions
will be held the latter part of this
month in order that a well-conditioned
team will face Crystal Lake, here, on
April 10.
The rest of the schedule is as follows:
April 21- Lake Forest, here.
April 26 - Palatine Relays.
May 2 - Leyden, Libertyville at Leyden.
May 5 - Palatine, here.
May 9 - State District meet at Evanston.
Bob Podraza and Floyd Hunzicker
have been voted most valuable and
honorary captain respectively, by
members of this year's varsity basketball team. Both seniors, Bob and
Floyd were stalwarts in the Trojan
drive to their first and undefeated conference championship.
Having led Trojan sharpshooters for
the last two seasons, "Moose," as Bob
is known to his friends, came through
this vear with 192 points in 12 conferen~e games for an average of 16
points per tilt. The 192 points enabled
Podraza to finish on top in conference
scoring. Not only was his shooting
ability of high caliber, but his floor
game and team co-operation stood out.
What Podraza was on offense, Floyd
Hunzicker was on defense. This could
easily be said without even so much as
bragging. One of the best guards in
the conference, quiet and unassuming
Floyd went through each game literally stealing points from Trojan opponents. Through his fine floor play,
Hunzicker, in his .first and last year
on the Trojan varsity, has earned the
honor of being chosen honorary captain.
To these boys, as well as the rest of
the championship basketball team and
coaches, go the thanks of the school
for the best season yet.

Do you want to toot your own horn

Students who ar e interested in either
t he bane! or or chestra should see Mr.
Clifford W. Collins, band and orchestra director, in room 101 immediately.
Because of the nun1ber of students
either being graduated or moving this
year, there will be several instruments
avai lable for use next year. Mr. Collins stated that no knowledge of music
is necessary; however, a musical backgrouncl would make the advancement
much quicker.
The li st of instruments available for
the coming year includes violin, viola,
'cello, string bass, oboe, bassoon, clarinet, flute, trombone, French horn,
baritone, bass horn, and drums.
Any student who is in either of
these organizations and who has study
periods which coincide with the music
schedule will take one lesson each
week during his study period.

Scribblers, Sirens, Drips Lend Bit
To Provide Janitors with Extra Work
DO YOU know any of these persons?
First of all, there are the Scribblers,
who wdte things anywhere and everywhere. Their favorite pl.ace of business, according to the janitor staff,
seems to be the stairs, although the
Scribblers are not particular. They
march up and down the stairs with
the tips of their pencils placed against
the wall, making perfectly beautiful
lines along the route. There seems to
be no reason for doing this except,
perhaps, to blaze a trail. There is
certainly no artistic value in a thing
of this sort, and it takes the janitors
an hour or more to erase such markings.
Then there are the Sirens. These
are the girls who appa1·ently are out
to REALLY get their men; for after
putting on their lipstick, usually in
the privacy of the washroom, they
kiss the walls and mirrors, practicing,
no doubt. But if they could see the
effect that these rows of used mouths
have on a male, especially the janitors, they might be more caref ul
where they practice. The washrooms
are not the only places where this
occurs; lipstick has been found on the
cafeteria walls also. There is quite a
lot of ·wor k connected with getting
this stuff off, as almost any boy can
tell you; so, g irls, please take note
Spring Buds Early
As Hearts Bloom
A girl gets up quietly from her
lunch table, slips into her coat, and
glides past the candy counter, up the
stairs, and out-of-doors. J ust as her
friends discover her gone, another
person rises from a table at the other
end of the room. This time its a male.
He sneaks stealthily down the lunch
room, but not unnoticed for soon
shouts of "sucker" ring in loud masculine tones through-out the room.
One boy says to another, "Looks
like he's caught, too bad, he was a
good guy."
Girls look from one to another and
whisper, "Ah, a romance is budding,"
or "Don't they make a nice pair?"
But all this seems to bother the
pair not at all. They go for their walk
and talk about, well, an~· number of
things including the weather and excluding romance.
On the return trip their hands are

and keep the lipstick on you where it
looks best.
Next we p1·esent, but not proudly,
the Dr ips, people who cannot keep ink
in their pens, a n<l allow the in k to

have tried to :figure out whether it is
a faulty pen that causes this or the
carelessness of the pen-wielder; and
have come to the conclusion that we
have some careless people in onr
school. We have also concluded that
ink does not harmonize with the pattern of our floors.
A word to the wise is sufficient.

she had already toured the South
American continent nine times.
'Carry On' Theme
For Spring Victory
With spring and war first in the
hearts of NTHS students, this question arises, "How does the war affect
our school life?"
As yet the noticeable changes are
the rising pr ices of swim suits, gym
suits, and food.
The teachers, cooks, and janitors
have greater t roubles. Chlorine for
swimming pools is scarce; the price
of towels has doubled; grocery deliveries have been cut to the minimum;
and some types of athletic equipment
are hard to obtain. The future holds
sugar rationing, more walking, and a
possible paper shortage.
What can you do?
1. Carry on!
Z. Keep your chin up!
3. Take education. seriously.
4. Keep physically fit.
5. Practice thrift.
6. Invest in America.
7. Keep informed.
8. Know - and obey - civilian
defense rules.
9. Be fair , tolerant, and considerate.
10. Be loyal.
Mary bought a little bond,
She also bought some &tamps,
Yuu say you want to whip the Japs!
Well-come on now, here's your
chance!
Do Air Raid Warnings Bewilder You?
Here are Some Clarifying Suggestions
Skokie may soon participate in a
general air raid drill in cooperation
with Chicago and other neighboring
communities. Until more definite instructions are issued, students and
teachers are to be guided by the following tentative directions.
1. AIR RAID WARN1NG.
The warning for a school air raid
drill shall be a series of intermittent
notes on the regular :fire alarm system.
2. WHERE TO GO.
Corridors on floors other than top
floors are the best air raid refuge centers for schools. In a drill, therefore,
proceed as follows:
a. First and third floors and Assembly room. All students cm these floors
shall proceed to the first floor corridor in the main part of the building.
Students in rooms 306, 308, 310, physics and chemistry will use the south
stairs to the first floor. Students in
rooms 312, 314 and home economics
shall use the north stairs to the second floor.
-
.
b. Second floor. All students on this
floor shall remain in the second floor
corridor.
c. East wing. Everyone in the
shops, gymnasium, music, art, drawing, and locker rooms shall congregate
in the east basement corridor. Those
in the gymnasium will go to the basement by way of the west stairs; those
in the other rooms may use the east
stairs.
Note: Students and teachers in the
pool may remain in the pool when the
alarm sounds.
d. Cafeteria. All of those in the
cafeteria shall pass to the first floor.
This may be done by either the center
or north east stairs.
REMEMBER
WALK. DO NOT RUN.
DO NOT GET EXCITED.
DO NOT PUSH.
COOPERATE. OBEY.
3. ALL CLEAR SIGNAL.
This shall be by announcement over
the P. A. system. Remain in corridors until signal is given .

Trojan tracksters will be out for
revenge when they engage Crystal
Lake here in the first conference meet
of the season, April 10. In an effort
to repay the Tigers for the defeat of
last season, Coach Morgan Taylor will
put on the cinders a squad that is set
on winning.
Led by returning varsity trackmen
Nitch, Kramer, Eichelkraut, Canty,
Kittredge, and Miller, the team shows
promise for a good season.
Promising frosl1 prospects will go
into track competition for their first
time when they will engage the Tiger
lightweights.
Friday, April 17, will :find the Trojans hosts to the Cardinals of Arlington. April 28 Nilehi will meet Highland Park of the suburban league
here. This should be one of the major
tests of the season. Many a mile will
be run before it's time to put the
spikes away and as Coach Taylor
says, "Let's hope many of them will
run to victory."
Last Saturday the varsity entered
the Oak Park relays. This indoor
event was the first of its kind in
which Nilehi has participated.
Badminton Classes
Meet Thursday's
Two badminton classes meet on
Thursday evenings from 7 to 8 and
from 8 to 9. Mr. F. Morgan Taylor
has charge of the instruction.
After the badminton exhibition that
was presented at the school a few
weeks ago, enthusiasm was worked up
among the student body and enough
of these enthusiasts came to the :first
class to warrant continuing weekly
cla sses. The badminton rackets are
furnished by the school free of charge
but if a student has his own he may
bring it. The shuttlecocks or "birds"
can be bought at school for 30 cents
ooch. The charge to play is 20 cents
an hour and the price of a bird can
be split among four players, so the
cost of an evening's play is only 30
cents.
Plans for a badminton club are being formulated. If the club is formed,
the cost of playing will be reduced.
Anyone who is interested in playing
badminton o:: in JOJrung the club
should see 111r. Taylor.

First Conference Game
Here with Woodstock
H's a hit! Baseball for '42 proved
to be just that at Nilehi as 55 candidates, the largest in school history,
turned out for varsity positions.
Returning letter winners, whom
Coach Kent will rely on to form the
nucleons of the team, include Glenford Bremner, Vernon Drueke, Richard Glauner, Charley Gockenbach,
Bart Hegarty, Bob Moore, Dick Nelson, and Dan Petty.
Before leading his stalwarts into
'their first game April 20 with Woodstock, Coach Kent is faced with the
problem of finding a pitcher, shortstop, outfielder, and reserve strength,
as well as hitters.
From his observation in early scrimages Coach Kent has drawn the conclusion that the boys. need plenty of
hard practice. Putting it in his own
words Coach Kent says, "The boys
look pretty green."
The tentat ive baseball schedule for
'42 includes eight conference games

Spring play billed
for tri-night stand
Representat ives of the Dr amatics
Publishing company and theater critics will be in the audience when the
spring play cast presents "My H eart
Beats For You," under the direction of
Mrs. Rut h Esch, May 14 and 15 in the
assembly.
May 14 and 15 have been set as
opening nights, but a third performance on May 16 will be presented if
the demand is great enough.
This premiere performance of the
new play stars th e persons whose
names and pictures will be printed
when the play is released later, in
book form.
Working with the original script for
two months, the company is producing
a play within a play; a male version
of "Little Red Riding Hood." Bob
Moore plays the grandmother and
Jack Price is cherub-cheeked Red Riding Hood with J im Holmes as his alternate. Larry Miller and Dick Boyd
are the grandsires who pen the revamped fairy-tale and cast themsel.,es
in the wolf role.
Hobo Day is an undecided issue. There have been pros and
cons as to the mel'its of such a
day, but homerooms will be
asker} for a vote before the issue
can be decided.
Some homerooms have already
reported and are in favor of a
real Hobo Day instead of Cha1·acter Day. The general opinion,
so fa1·, seems to be that a Characte1· Day would involve buying
a costume and dressing up, but
a Hobo Day would allow pupils
to come in practically anything
they had, the worse the better.
This latter idea is the reason
the faculty is opposed to a Hobo
Day. The students feel they can
wear anything - and do. Cigar
butts and liquor bottles appear;
clothes a-re torn; and "hazing"
is carried on. These practices
are not only dangerous and
wasteful but they bTing a bad
reputation on the school.
A CharacteT Day, such as was
held last year, can be more easily
controlled than a Hobo Day, but
there is not as much student
participation. The faculty is
willing to try another Hobo Day
if that is the desire of the students; but if Hobo Day is wanted, the Forum, which will sponsor it, will be asked to lay down
rules and regulations that will
effectively guard against occurances such as have been mentioned.

To modern males
we tell these tales
By Cassandr a a nd Amanda
They're traitors; they'll leave you,
They're bou1id to deceive you.
Their ten-cent allowances don't go
very far;
These cheapska tes : Jake, Will, and
Omar.
He'll race you for an assembly seat,
Then guffaw you when he's won the
feat.
Superman 's his idol; Mandrake he'll
hail This spaghett-Mnuscled male.
His voice is loud and coarse,
And he ivins his quarrels by force.
And you tell him that he needs a shave
And he thinks you mean his head, the
knave.
'
He'll whistle when you pass,
As you go from class to class,
Cause he hopes you'll turn and look,
At this hero from a book.
We think this is quite snapP'JI,
At least it makes us happy,
But we really like you kids
When it's time for our Prom bids.

::ve priorities when it comes to getting lockers
with all the trimming s. At any rate
a superficia l survey exposed a number
of things - wise and otherwise .
Jo Anne Detweiler and Mary Frances Dietsch have an appetizin g and
colorful dextrose advertise ment at the
top of their collection . Jo Anne explained, "It's to make us hungry."
The increasin g cost of eating hasn't
affected them yet.
When asked if she had any pictures
in her locker, Marion Sesterhen n 1·eplied, "Yes, but not for the paper."
Could they be p-etty - whoops, the
printer must have forgotten an "r".
Sterling Hayden graces the locker
of Ann Erickson and Mary Lou Kendall - in fact, he graces a number of
locker doors. He seems to be quit-:? a
popular fellow with Nilehi's gals.
Anna Hoth has pictures and pictures
of Ronald Reagan and then there's
Jean Dudick with the cutest monkeyhis legs :fl.op up and down.
Roegene Schalow has an amusing
collection of jokes. They must have
been good "cheerer uppers" during
finals.
Elva "Johnny" Johnson practicall y
lives with the Navy beb.veen classes;
her locker is plastered with pictures
of boats, gobs, and more boats, and
more gobs. Only thing is, she has
competiti on; Bunny Frarison specia!izes in the Army. Not to mention the
rumor that Hitler inhabits one of our
"coat-kee pers" somewhe re in Nilehi's
south wing.
Virginia Kopp has all sorts of pe11.
nants tacked up. Annaliese Nachbauer, a twirler, has - you guessed it
-picture s of drum majors and majorettes. Then there's Trudy Dahm who
revels in Jon Whitcomb drawings ; ask
her to show you. They're "sumpin."
Best of all though is Muriel Milke
who doesn't have any wallpaper , her
explanatio n, "I'm just a neat girl."
_
Wh OZl.t.' Tall and dark with raven hair,
And sparkling eyes that shine.
Her voice is really more than fair,
As is her dive sublime.
Behind the footlights she's okay,
As will be plainly seen;
For she is Paula in the play,
With beauty in each scene.
With all these clues you surely tell
Just who this senior is;
And if you do we'll ring a bell,
For you are quite a whiz.

All the world loves a contest and
the results of this one b id fair to be

home economic instructor.
The gi rls in her home economics
minor classes are working on "make
over" projects using material from old
dresses, suits, and coats which are outdated, too small, or vice versa. Reason? To get a new dress, to practice
sewing, and to save material since the
War Production board cen sored manufacture of full skirts, cuffs, and puffed sleeves.
For prizes, the six or eight g irls
making the best dresses will model
them in the spring fashion show to be

What d'you know
about pastry art ?
Film notables, Shirley Temple, Jane
Withers and Adolpe Menjou were just
"extras" when pastry producer, Mr.
Conrad _Springer, of the Edgewater
Beach hotel, pointed out the actors,
actrnsses and props that are essential
to the kitchen scene.
Mr. Springer received his st art in
his father's pastry shop in Germany.
After three to four years of being an
apprentice to his father, he was ready
to start a shop of his own. Right then,
t he war came and he laid down his
pastry gun to take up arms in the war
of '17.
The date of h is arrival in America
and the beginning of his long stay at
the Edgewat er Beach was 1924.
Attention would-be pastry chefs:
"Most of the pastry chefs in t he
large hotels lear ned their trade either
in Germany, France, Italy, or Belg ium. The only provision for learning
the trade in Chicago is at the W ashburne Trade school where the pastry
chef of the Drake hotel holds classes,"
1\fr. Springer said.
A $100 wedding cake, with exact r eproductions of the outfits worn by the
bride and bridegroom, at the top, is
one of his s upreme accomplishments.
"I don't believe in prizes for such
work, for every chef has his own ideas
and there are certain points to be considered. As president of the Pastry
Cooks' association, I never allow any
prize contest, as I feel it only tends to
cause a disturbance in the organization," is Mr. Springer's attitude toward pastry awards.

Mr. I. C. Benette, chairman of

re•iewed the work of the Public Relations committee dur ing the past
year.
Due to America's present rubber
shortage, it has been necessary to
cancel all plans to present an e..xchange assembly at Leyden. Earlier
in the season Leyden brought an original musical show to NTHS, but since
then school buses have been prohibited
chartered trips. Supt. R. E . Cotanche
:indicated that this ban would also
prohibit Trojan fans from following
the teams next year.

Responsibility for "putting the paper to bed" will be handed to journalism minor sttJdents for the next issue,

H elen Reeder, as first page editor, will
also manage the staff. Second, third

Front row: Mgr. J. Desmond, G. Bremner, R. Krier, B. Hega1·ty, C. Gockenbach, R. Nelson, B. Krier, D. Petty, R. Poehlman,
G. Bolek. Second row: B. Gifford, B. Blothner, W. Johnson, C. Valkenaar, M. Dinelli, T. MacCleary'-R. Berkow, D. Smyser, B. Engert, R
Rohs. Third row: Coach N. Kent, J. Wuerth, P. Hoppe, E. Theobald, T. Sheridan, V. Drueke, R. Glauner, R. Kirscht, G. Wagner,
E. May, R. Moore.
HERE WE GO dealing you latest
diamond chatter. Bob Moore, varsity
catcher, appears to have lost none of
the power he possessed last season
when he led Trojan sluggers with a
.425 average. Maybe it's that Joe Dimaggo bat he's using or has he broken it? Bob is champion bat breaker.
Butch "hit 'em one" Glauner,
varsity pitcher, seems to have
Charley Gockenbach's batting average down to the size of his hat
but his head's-up work at short
stop has assured him the position.
SPRING FEVER SEEMS to have
"Dreamer" Drueke around the neck
and as a result the three-year veteran
has had to assume the role of substitute.
Bart Hegarty has found hits in
his bat this spring and from" all
reports is pounding that ball.
Rollie Poehlman and Bolek
are two outfielders who have made
favorable impressions on Coach
Kent. For a look at the varsity
heroes, take a good look at above
picture. For a better look, get
out and see the boys play Warren,
last year's conference champions,
here, next Friday.
BOYS' GYM CLASSES have abandoned the indoors and have taken to
the track .and diamond. One of the
:first inter class ball games of the
schedule featured "Jeep" Paulson hitting a homerun with the bases full.
Parents invited
to gym tonight
Tonight is Gym Night. At 8 p.m.
in the gymnasium the girls and boys
physical education classes will show
their parents what is being done in
the weekly gym classes. All parents
and friends are invited to attend this
program. The admission is 15 cents.
Girls and boys intramural volley
ball teams and ping pong singles will
have their final playoffs to decide the
h igh school champs. The rest of the
program will include the introduction
of the letter winners, a display of
the boys' callisthenics, and the girls'
gym exercises. Miss Lorraine Spikings' ten tumblers will wear their new
uniforms to do their latest tricks and
Miss Mildred Schaefe1·'s exhibition
dancing class ""ill present a tap dance
novelty, "Plant a Victory Garden."
Gym Night, under the direction of
Miss Schaefer and Mr. Harold Isaacson, is replacing Dad and Son night.
Mermaids dazzle crowd
at third water oamival
Weird strains of haunting music,
an enchanting myth filled w~th wind
and mystery, brilliant coloring, more
than half a hundred Arabians, and
Princess Scheherazade, alias Marilyn
Noesges, in her wine velvet cape and
flowing white chiffon, carried the spectators back to tenth century Arabia
for three successive nights at the
third annual water carnival April 16,
17, and 18.
Tomorrow the track team reaches
the half-way mark in its season, as it
leaves the Nilehi cinder path for the
first time to participate in the Palatine Relays at Palatine. The boys hope
to return this year with a great many
more points and medals than the
pointless team that invaded Palatine
in 1941. Coach Taylor states that he
will try to enter as many boys as possible including the Two-mile relay
team which placed at the Oak Park
Relays. Floyd Hunziker and Ray
Nitch will throw the Shot Put and
Discus and v.ill probably be our only
individual entrants.
The next Saturday, May 2, the annual triangular meet between our Trojans, Leyden and Libertyville will take
place at Leyden. This meet ends the
season with conference teams but the
schedule has been :filled by non-conference teams such as Palatine who:;e
maroon clad team will be seen on our
track May 6.
Last Friday the Varsity and FroshSoph engaged the Arlington cardinals
to attempt to win their first conference victory. The Frosh-Soph lads
paced by L. Kuhn, Berg, Coursey,
Massey, Langan, G. Kuhn ana Hollifield, who all took firsts, scoxed a"R
easy victory by a score of 71 to 23.
The Varsity lost a close decision, 62

Niles Township High School, in its evolution throughout the years to its present
architectural perfection, retains all of the
friendly attributes which make it the true
center of enthusiastic community interest.
Patriotic rallies, school plays, church
meetings, athletic contests, entertainments,
and various worthwhile and instructive
occasions have brought the community together in frequent and friendly interest at
the school.
In cooperation with the national war
effort two important patriotic programs
were presented at Nilehi. On December
7, 1942, one year after the historic Pearl
Harbor attack, a rally was held in the
gymnasium . In February, preceding the
beginning of food rationing, the Office
of Price Administration presented a program to acquaint adults and students
alike with the new point system. •
On the more frivolous side of the community program were dances and parties sponsored by local clubs and by
the school, and games between student
teams and community athletes.
Music too played its part in makinr.;
Nilehi the center of the community.
The band played at patriotic rallies
and a t athletic games. The spring concert as usual drew a large number of
people to the school.
Parehts' night, the water carnival,
and dramatics night, all were "open
house" nights to the community:
Night classes for adults were conducted throughout the year, offering
an accelerat~ program of instruction made necessary by the war.
Not only the students of Nilehi,
but also the citizens of the community, tum to our school as a
source of education, inspiration, and
entertainment.

A MESSAGE TO THE GRADUATES:
To you graduates of 1943, for whom particularly this annual has been prepared. the
Board of Education alters ils congratulations.
You have the honor of being the first cla_ss
to spend lour lull years in lhe "new" building.
and to that distinction you have added commendable citizenship and schola rship.
You are also the first class to graduate from
Ni/es Township High School fully aware of the
immediate responsibilities awaiting you, the
youth of a great country now geared to its
second year of war. For your important part
in this worldwide conilict. you have been preparing diligently both in regular and special
classes. Now, with keener minds, stronger
bodies, more practical skills, greater appreciation of cultural values, and a more serious
outlook, you are ready' for new duties ond
privileges.
e
Som_ of you will go directly into the armed
forces of our country; others plan to work in
essential industdes; stili others will find it
possible both to serve their country and to go
to college. Whatever your new work may be,
the Board trusts that you will find your preparation for it adequate; that you will bring to it

�·Our SuperinlenJenf Sa~:
To serve youth is man's great privilege, second only to the privilege of
serving his Creator and his country; to
serve the boys and girls of Niles Township is no exception. Each student at
N.T.H.S. has been an inspiration or a
challenge. Your varied interests, personalities, and aptitudes would tax the
imagination of even those who would
pose as having an understanding of
youth. Such is a wholesome condition
and I commend you for it.
Our school is evidence of the interest
that the citizens of this community have
in you. Through their sacrifices and the
efforts of the Board of Education you
have been provided with a high school
which is equal to the best in the country,
and you have shown by your actions
that you are grateful to them.
A. L. BIEHN, A.B., M.A., Ph.D.
Superintendenl-Principol
This has not been an ordinary year.
We could not, even if we had desired,
have carried on as usual. In our effort
to adapt the program at N.T.H.S. to the
in!erests, needs, and abilities of the individuals, and to the needs of the nation, we sought to make your experiences here worthwhile. If we have succeeded, our efforts will be rewarded by
the kind of citizens that will be so desperately needed in the reconstruction
period to follow the present world
struggle. I am as thoroughly convinced
that the youth of today will win the
post-war struggle as I am that the youth
of yesterday will win the war itself.
With healthy bodies, sound minds, and
divine guidance we shall not fail.

�Nile Hi has one of the best and most
completely organized guidance programs in the state. Much of the credit
for this should go to Mr. Flagg. a man
known and respected by the whole
student body. There are very few Trojans who have not. upon some occasion or other, brought a problem to his
office where they have found friendly
advice and, more important, a solution.
Mr. Flagg helps guide the freshmen
in their choice of a lifetime career in
his vocations classes. This year, due to
the pressure of war, he has demonstrated his versatility by teaching aeronautics and turning out future aviators
for Uncle Sam. Nile Hi is indeed grateful to him for his splendid work.

Our class sponsors have always been willing
to lend advice and help to the students of Niles
Township High School. These teachers, in guiding the various students, have not only helped
maintain the morale of the students but have certainly made seven league steps in creating a
wholesome attitude between the faculty and student body. We all feel gratified that we have
had and will continue to have the excellent
guidance of these four fine representatives of

Here are the big ten of the faculty. These department chairmen, holding regular meetings with Dr.
Biehn, plan, organize, and d irect our teaching
program. It is in a large measure due to their
efforts that the program of Niles is not only educational but also interesting. Their job is a hard and
. thankless one requiring much time and thought.
Most of their work is don e outside of regular school
hours. But, after a glance around the school, we
readily see that their work has not been done in
vain. Because of their increasing efforts, Niles
Township is one of the most progressive schools
in the state. They correlate the class activities so
that the students derive the greatest possible benefits from their studies during their school career,
and are prepared to assume successfully the role
of good Americans. To these teachers we wish to
extend a very special " tha nk you."

The success of the Niles Township High School
Varsity basketball team this year was lazgely
due to its five seniors.
Those who started the games were Carroll,
Krewer, Stock:fisch, Weldon (captain), and
Glatz, who was voted the most valuable
player.
The reason for their excellent record is tha t
the boys were graduating, and the coach, Mr.
Galitz, was leaving for the navy at the close
of the season.

On August 25th death took Olga Razkow from us. Her community and high school friends felt a great blow and loss at
this news. She had been fighting death for a great many
months at the Evanston Hospital, but when she left last summer
to visit her place of birth in Cuba everyone thought she was
well on the road to recovery.
Although she was one of the smallest girls in school, she
was always spirited, energetic, and willing to cooperate and
learn. She had a talent for dancing and twirling which she
demonstrated for the school many times. To all, she stood for
friendship and companionship, and leaves memories of her
vivacious personality in our hearts.
James 111atktttn
James Watkins left us during the Christmas holidays. We
miss James. We grieve that one so young and so fine had to
be taken from us. He accomplished much in the time he was
with us. He was eager to learn and his fine scholarship inspired
many of us to greater effort in study. We liked his quiet friendliness; we admired his seriousness. We felt his influence in many
ways when he was here with us but his death has maq~ us
realize for the firs t time what a great leader he had been,
what a fine intelligent young man he had become, . what a
good friend he was to all.

�Our :J-orum
On this page you will find the groups
which compose this year's Student-Faculty
Forum. Since the Forum is the student-governing body .of the school. its responsibility,
"to promote the welfare of the members of
the faculty and the student body," is a
grave one.
Perhaps this and the fact that this is the
first all-girl officer group in the Forum's
history causes . the members of this group
in the first picture to look so business-like.
Beverly Kramer, vice-president, and Betty
Bray, secretary, both seem to be listening
intently to their president, Nancy Allen,
who no doubt has something very important to say. Meanwhile Mr. Flagg, faculty
sponsor, is referring to records pertaining
to the subject.
Next in line is this group of worthy
seniors. They are represented by Florence Schramm, Pat Galitz, Nancy Allen,
president, Jeanne Nelson, parliamentarian, and Marie Stritch. In the upper row
we }lave Zenon Turski, Paul Hermes,
Lucile Anderson, Rosanna King, Ted
Canty, and Bill Stockfisch.
Looking rather informal and having
mixed expressions are the juniors.
Harriet Hart and Hildegard Schottleutner look very amused, while Nona
Holappa, Jim Moore, Barbara Mason,
Eugene Putman, Bob Pasek, Beverly
Kramer, vice-president, and Betty
Bray, secretary, look more or less
pensive.
Last but no means least we have
the freshmen and sophomores. Outstanding voices often heard from this
group are: Hildegarde Jarosch, Marion McClain, Tom Wetmore, Bob
Hartney, Shirley Lawrence. Stanley
Noesen, Ed Dean, and Joan Trietsch.

�• Mix a httle of this with a little of that and what have you?
In chemistry it's possible to tell what you ge1, if you're good
enough. There is some sense, we hope, to tha1 maze of tJbas
and bottles arranged in chemistry class.
Dagmar Franson is busily engaged in getting a piece of
rubber tubing· over a pipe. (So far nothing spectacular hos
happened.)
A future would-be chemist, Rolph Rentzsch, appears to be
holding down a bottle. Is it going to fly o!f, Ralph?

• The first day of meat rationing finds us down in the
cafeteria. As we near the tables we find students hurrying
through a lunch of spaghetti, knowing t hat their much prized
meat has gone for a good cause. At the table there is Richara
Taite who is interested in protecting his chocolate milk. Don·t
worry, Dick, it isn'1 rationed yet! On his left we find some freshman boy so engrossed in his lunch that the photographer has
no part of his life. Coming next are Raymond Baumgartner and
William Barbour, who munches on a sandwich as if it were

Nick Boznos and John Aliprandi.

of the period with bis hands in his pockets.
Dorothy Cowie seems more interested in the camera than

Wilfred Johnson and Willard Maie r are busily engaged in

• Music is In the air as the eighth period choir fills the beau1iful music room v.rith melodious harmony. "Music hath charms
to soothe the savage breast," but we don 't see how some
of the music can be soothing when Jimmy Moore sings out
at a discord. This class was being entertained by Phil
Egebrecht before the picture was taken. He holds the championship for being able lo wiggle his ears. "Skip" Sutter is thinking of a humorous joke to tell lo her fellow sopranos.
• Dancing to the music of Dick Lewis' Band (or just listening) was the luck of several Nilehi students a l the Pep Club
Dance. Ka lie Clarke, Tom Allen, and Irve Witte, prom king
of '41, seem to be fascinated by the "birdie." And how
unusual! There is Eleanor Nelson next to Tom. Far off In the
distance can be seen June Ohlson and Ed Dean. Well, if you
lock hard enough you can see himlll (He's slightly hidden by
June's hair.) Helen Howard seems to be • ery happy dancing
with her eyes closed. Is it the fellow or the music, Helen??

• What grace! What lovel y symmetrical legs we have here!
In truth the g irls In swimming classes have not been idle.
They have practiced hard and finally mastered many unusual
and sometimes queer stunts. The entrancing effect of these
wonderful feats is expressed on the laces of those reclining
beauties draped about the pool.
The four accusing toes pointed upward may seem a little
wobbly, but their owners are really quite steady; just a little
water-logged, like most Niles students. We heartily wish them

billing in any group, at any time.
The top picture features most of the illustrious cast of "MumTaz Mahal." Instead ol the beauty and the beast, assembled
here are nine and eleven. (Just joking, fellows, really you seem
quite handsome.) Beauties: B. Bray, G. Deily, B. Farr, M. Callmer,

The other pictures illustrate two of the carefully planned,
earnestly practiced, and nicely achieved formations seen in the

�• As we wander down our long and spacious
corridors, we marvel at the neatness and the
preserved newness of our building which is
now four and a half years old. However, the
perfect condition of the premises is maintained
only by tedious hours of labor.
Each evening after the thundering mob of
students has vacated this institute of learning,
(and left as a remembrance various assortments of wrappers, second-hand gum, candy,
waste-paper, etc.) our able crew of custodians
man their trusty mops and brooms to set aright
the reigning chaos.
This picture of Mr. Brunke, Mr. Boyd, and Mr.
Ahrens is the familiar one that greets anyone
who is unavoidably detained after the usual
school hours. The student body and all those
associated with the school owe their heartiest
appreciation to these gentlemen for nightly
clean up crusades. The highest gratitude is
especially felt for the chief-engineer, Mr. Wright,
who so ably handled the fuel supply :tast winier
and kept Nilehi comfortable and happy. Two
others, Mr. Ide and Mr. Kirscht. not in the picture, also do their part to keep our building
spick-and-span.
• Few of us realize, as we enjoy the excellent
food and environment of our cafeteria, what
careful planning, patience, and work it takes
to make it that way. Mrs. Kestenholz, our beloved "Katie", directs Mrs. Frieda Harms, Mrs.
Harriet Fiech, Mrs. Schuler, and Mrs. Fountaine,
and does a fine job of meal planning, preparation, and keeping.the cafeteria attractive. Shortages of staple foods have not made her job
easier, but still our cafeteria meals are ~trac
tive, delicious, and nutritious.
Besides being our chief cooks and bottle
washers, these ladies were the cause of publicity
for ohr sch;ol. When our first meatless day was
observed on Wednesday, November 4th, reporters from Chicago newspapers came out and
not only took pictures but also enjoyed one of
Katie's delicious meals.

Football-The Will to Win
Overconfident because of four
straight wins, the Trojans had
visions of the. Conference Champions h i p on ly to have them
dimmed by an under-rated but
hard fighting Lake Forest eleven.
The Trojans ended the season
by losing a close fought game to
Libertyville, wipmg out all chances
of even a tie for the Championship.
Basketball-Hard Fighting Cagers
The basketball team led by
Coach Lester Galitz, had one
of the most successful seasons
in the history of the school. The
boys brought thrills to the home
town folks by winning all home
games. During the season the
squad beat such outstanding
schools as Evanston, Maine, New
Trier., Libertyville , and Waukegan.
Too bad the Libertyville game
didn't count for the regional, as
they came back to trim us in th e
semifinals of the Waukegan tournaments.
Swimming-Actions Aquatic
The Trojan swimming team, like
the track and baseball teams, was
kept down in the shadow of defeat all season, losing six straight
meets against larger North Shore
schools. The bad showing of thA
team was due to the fact that
there was not enough interest in
the sport and thus not enough material.
There is always another year,
so come on fellows, get behind
your team!
Track-{To May ll
The Trojan tr-acksters did not
fare so well this season due to the
fact that they could not win their
field events. The Trojans were led
by Howie Johnston, whose fine
showing in the mi!e and half mile
events was net suff!cient to spark
his team to victory.
Baseball-(To May 1)
Lack of hits and an abundance of errors kept the Trojans
awa y from victory in their first three games. The pitching staff
made up of "Butch" Glauner a nd Rollie Poehlmann kept the
opposing teams down to an average of 7 hits; but the opposing
teams kept the Trojans down to an average of 2 hits, spelling
defeat for the home team.

Dick Krewer- Senior-guard and forward. Dick
was one of the best on defense, although he really
showed his ability on both offensive and defensive
rebounding. In addition, Dick was right in there
pitching when it came to scoring.
Hanle Barkow-Senior-guard ... Hank was one
of those who missed the glory in the games but
really stuck it out and took a beating in his last
year.
"Hezzie" Weldon-Senior-guard ... Another fellow who started as a freshman and kept right on
up, "Hezz" played plenty of guard for the Trojans
this year. Elected honorary captain at the close
of the season, he was an excellent guard as well
as a good shot.
Ed Krupa-Senior-forward and guard. After a
late start, and handicapped by a bad knee, Ed
cmne around to cover his man in every game
and to drop in some telling points when they were
most needed.
Bill Randquist- Senior- forward and center . . .
Another of the four year men who really worked
hard. Bill was plagued by illness in his first three
years, keeping him out of action quite a bit of the
time. A good rebounder and possessor of a good
one-hand shot.
OUR COACH
Nilehi's loss was Uncle Sam's gain as Lieutenant Lester Galitz discarded that black suit so familiar on the Nilehi bench this winter, for the Navy
blue at the close of the basketball season. Head
basketball coach for three years, he gave Nilehi
its first conference basketball championship in the
1941-42 season. Respected and well liked by the
players, he was a key man in every team he
coached. Not only the teams that he led but the
entire school really misses him and wishes him
42
all the success in the world in encountering a
tougher enemy than he ever faced in his years as
player and coach.
Bill Stockfisch- Senior-forward and center . . .
One of the four Bills on the team, Bill Stockfisch
was noted for his great support to the team .when
the going was tough. An able shot, and fine defensive man.
Chuck Gockenbach-Junior-guard ... One of the
two juniors on the varsity, Chuck got plenty of
seasoning this year, and should lead the team ori
to new heights next winter. Chuck showed" particular ability on defense.
"Butch" Glauner-Senior- forward . .. A four year
man who was the life of the team. When "Butch"
entered the game, it always took on a new beat.
A real ball hawk, and good shot.
Bill Carroll-Senior-forward and guard ... A particularly able defensive player who really got into
the opposing teams' hair all the way down the
floor. One of the strongest teeth in the Trojan attack, with speed and a sharp eye.
Bob Glatz-Senior- forward . . . Bob led the Trojan
scoring and was a real offensive threat with .his
uncanny long shofs. An able rebounder and wideawake defensive player, he really des~rved the
honor of "most valuable player" bestowed_upon
him by his mates.
Mike Hermes-Manager. Here's a boy who
deserved a lot of credit. He didn't get in there to
get the cheers, but he was out there for every prac·
tice and every game.
Not on Picture
Bill Shay- Junior-forward . . . Bill came in at
mid-season, and consequently took a while to
catch on to the Trojan style of play although he
managed to show his ability in making bewildering long shots on several occasions.
�New Trier November 17
True to an old Trojan custom, the team found
itself on the short end of the score in the season ·
opener, falling to New Trier 40-34, making a poor
showing on both offense and defense. The score
was close only because the Trevians' play was
equally as poor.
Evanston November 20
The Trojans were whipped solidly by Evanston,
and tasted their second straight defeat 40-27. The
Trojans, however, did not lose hope, for ii was
remembered that last year's championship Trojan
five looked equally bad in its first two contests.
In addition, the schedule this year also made it
possible for the Trojans to gain revenge for both
of these defeats.
Leyden December 4
The Niles ouintet finally hit its stride, winning its
home openei over a hapless Leyden five 44-17.
The team clicked on both offense and defense and
looked to have regained its 1941-42 confidence.
Maine December 5
Niles travelled lo Maine and lost a heartbreaker,
41-39 in the final seconds of play. After the Trojans
led by 2 points at the half, Maine turned the tables
on the team by outspeeding and outbreaking
them. The game showed the team that they still
had plenty of room for improvement.
.
Evanston J V. December 11
The team still looked weak in defeating the Jr.
Wildkits 37-31 a lthough holding the upper hand
throughout the game.
43
�Evanston December 18
The Trojans won their 3rd straight home victory
by upsetting overconfident Evanston 48-47 to gain
revenge for the earlier defeat administered to us
by the same team only a month previous. The
team played about the best game of the season,
and undoubtedly the most exciting. In view of this
victory, the '42-'43 team became the first Trojan
team in Niles history to defeat Evanston. Behind
by 7 points with a little over two minutes to play,
the Trojans put on the pressure, dropping in the
winning basket with less than 30 seconds left to
play.
Waukegan December 30
The Trojans travelled to Waukegan during the
Christmas vacation to succumb to the away game
jinx and lose a heartbreaker to a powerful Waukegan team 33-32.
Alumni January 9
Battling without the services of Bob Glatz, high
scoring forward, the Trojans knocked off the best
of Niles' grads 43-32 in a struggle that was much
closer than the score indicated. In a rough game,
the team pulled away only in the closing minutes
after a see-saw battle through the first three quarters. The victory was the team's fourth straight
home victory. However, the Trojans had yet to win
an away contest.
Zion-Benton January 15
Niles travelled to Zion City to encounter a tall
Zion-Benton team. In a slow moving game the Trojans won handily, 42-20, controlling the ball most
of the game. The team took an early lead, and
was never headed.
Libertyville January 22
The Trojans fell victim lo the away game jinx
once more in a "rip-snorting" battle, 34-32. The
game was plenty rough, as one "ref" was missing,
and the other had his hands full watching the ball.
The game left the Trojans with another call for
revenge in a later contest.
Leyden January 29
Experimenting with a new "man to man zone all
over the floor" defense in the first half, the Niles
five ran into unexpected trouble at Leyden, behind
at the half 26-25. However, abandoning the new
tactics, the Trojans wiped up the hapless Eagles
to roll up a 53-37 victory.
New Trier February 6
The Trojans played what was probably their
best game of the year before a home crowd to gain
a revenge victory over highly touted New Trier.
The Trevians were hit solidly by the Trojan onslaught, and fell to the tune of a 44-28 score. The
game was the Trojans ' second successful revenge
game of the year, and was recorded as our fifth
consecutive home victory.
Zion-Benton February 11
Playing at home again, the team took a thrilling
49-48 contest from a hot, battling Zion-Benton team
which led until late in the last quarter when the
Trojans finally slipped into the lead and kept it
through the last seconds of play. The game
showed the Trojans that they were still far from
ready for the regional tournament only three
weeks away.
Libertyville-F ebruary 19
Gaining revenge for an earlier defeat, the
Trojans showed the home crowd that they really
had what it takes by overwhelming the Libertyville Wildcats by a lop-sided score of 6~2. Following this game, the experts rated the Trojans
as a strong contender in the oncoming regional
tournament at Waukegan.
Maine-Febru ary 26
Eight Trojan seniors played their last home
game for Nilehi in whipping the Demons from
Maine who had beaten them 40-39 earlier in the
season. This revenge victory for the Gold and
Blue gave Niles the first unblemished home record
in its history. The Trojans took the lead after a
slow start to head the Demons all the way for
win number 10.
Waukegan Tournament
The Trojans opened the Waukegan tournament
by defeating the host school 37-31 in a game that
was a deadlock until the last minute. "Parlic;ularly
encouraging was the large group of Trojan rooters
who made the long trip to be there and watch
their team in action. Two nights later however,
the fellows had a bad night, when everything
seemed to go wrong, and the Trojans bowed out
of the tournament to Libertyville 32-24. It seemed
the whole team was "off the beam" all at once.
The season was over, but the boys had the satisfaction of holding al least one victory over every
opposing team this year.

Although. the swimming team did not make the best showing this
season, the whole school owes them a vote of thanks. It's mighty easy
to stick with a winning team, but the fellows really worth while are
those who can keep on practicing and trying-win or lose. That's what
our swimmers did, and with Fredericks, Wittorf, and Tagney sparking
the teC!-m. next year is bound to be better.
JUNIOR VARSITY PLAYERS
Art Anderson-guard ... "Autorhcrlic," a sophomore, was a good defensive player who also had an eye for the basket.
Norm Bailey--guard ... "Nosey," was also a good defensive player
and a sophomore.
Jack Fredericks-center ... Another sophomore, Jack used his height to
good advantage all season.
Ed. Heartstedt-forward ... A sophomore who played a good, steady
game.
Bill Meyer-guard ... A junior who wasn't stopped by anyone until the
"doc" told him he had better take a rest.
Jim Moore-forward . . . Both a defensive and offensive star, Jim was
elected captain of this year's J.V.'s. This junior should help next year.
Eugene Putnam-center ... A junior who was in there fighting a ll season. Watch him next year.
Ernie Reiman-guard . .. Switching this sophomore from forward to
guard during the season d idn't affect his playing ability al all. He still
rolled on in good style.
Dick Wilton-guard ... Another sophomore w h o could be depended
upon for a good steady game.
Rollie Poeblmann-forward ... Rollie, a junior, sparked the team to
many of their wins. "Mort" was a real fighter.

BASEBALL
Weak hitting and poor fielding, both probably
caused by cold weather which cut practice time
sharply, was responsible for the loss of the first
two ball games played this year. The work of the
two pitchers, Glauner and Poehlmann, was outstanding in both games, but weak support from
the rest of the team marred their fine work.
In spite of the two early sea3on losses, steady
improvement was noted in the practice and with a
break from the weather the Trojans are certain to
cop some of their remaining contests.
TRACK
Strength in the distance runs and weakness in
the field placed the Trojan tracksters behind the
eight ball this season.
Coach Dees, handicapped by the lack of veterans, still was able to turn out a team that was
capable of challenging any other team on the
North Shore. The Trojans were led by Howie Johnston, undefeated in the mile and half mile events,
and Leo Kuhn, who broke track records in the 220
and the pole vault events.
All Nilehi is looking forward to next year when
Coach Dees will exhibit a team composed of ten
of this year's regulars and plenty of capable
reserves.
46
The :'.'Jiles Township Track team of 1943 is as follows:
Coach Dees, B. Gafford, J. Suydam, H. Langan, A. Schr:>edar,
H. Meinke, C. Massman, P. Kapaun. M. Alterini, W. Walmsley, N. Hall, J. Ehmer. H. Johnston aod L. Kuhn, the Trojans'

The following people have spent long hours and earnest
effort in producing this year book. If the annual has succeeded
in presenting the school in a favorable and attractive light, that
success is due to these individuals:
Miss Adelaide Berry and her English classes did all the edin
torial work on the senior section in additio. lo much copy work.
Mr. John C. Benette and his photography classes took all the
really fine group and sport pictures. Special credit should go
to Bradley Fredericks and Tom Davidson.
Mr. William Freund, ambassador extraordinary from the Pontiac Engraving Company, had the answer to every engraving
problem. Another thank you should go to Mr. Fred Montiegel,
his predecessor.
Mr. William Niehaus, that fine gentleman from the Neely
Printing Company, might be called the year book's god-father.
The book's layout is due to his good taste.
Mr. Harold Ohlson was the able director of sales. Washington would have needed a bureau to have done his work.
Mr. Joseph Toloff, artistic and affable, took the pictures of the
board of education, the faculty, and the seniors.
The lettering on the cover and the title page was done by

The Trojans of old believed that the destiny of their lives was
shaped by the chance will of many gods and goddesses-some
,..
friendly, some not.
vVe Trojans of Nilehi are more fo rtunate! F ive people--all united in a friend ly, helpful interest-are elected to direct the
destiny of N. T. H . S. The people of the township have entrusted
to these five representatives the responsibility of providing the best
educational opportunities so that, like the men of Troy, we modern
Trojans may become ' 'scholarly, brave, and true."
�A. L . Biehn, Superintendent
The leader of the T rojans, D r . A . L. Biehn, has the challenging .
task of guiding high school students 1hrough these perilous times.
H is prime interest is in educati on for victory-victory in winning
the war, in winning the peace. and in establishing democratic ideals
throughout the world. The educational program at K.T .H.S. has
been developed to train us to understand and to follow the principles, on which our count ry was established. vVe appreciate D r.
Bi.elm's ceaseless efforts in t his di rection.

In. a world where freedom is constantly in danger of being suppressed, the ideals of a Jiber tyloving people must be ever preserved through the medium of education. To train its students
in clear and democratic thinking is one of the first aims of every school in this country, where
independence is cherished above Mc itself.
At Nilehi the Student-Faculty Fonnn has come to the front as a living symbol of democracy
at work. In this body is vested the power of the students to have a voice in their government;
and it is through this organization that a clearer understanding between teacher s and pupils
is attained.
The combined leadership and ability of its member s and officers has enabled the Forum to
secur e some outstanding achievements th roughout the year ; and by so doing, t he citizens of
tomorrow learn by being the citizens of today.

Jeep Campaign
T o start off the year with a bang, we Trojans
accomplished the amazing feat of selling enough
bonds and stamps for three jeeps in two days.
A jeep rally v..'<is in order, with one of Nilehi's
jeeps being presented by the students to Private
Lees of Camp Skokie.
Stamp Booth
Niles Township can well be proud of its stamp
and bond record for the past year, and also of
those who pushed the sales sq effectively.
Through colorful posters, a1mounceme11ts, and
personal contact, these people helped to make
this year one of the most generous and patriotic
in Trojan history.

Scrap ::briue
T his year, for the first time in our school's
history, we had a scrap drive. All patr iotic students industriously trudged to school with a piece
of scrap. Some r endered thetr services by hauling
heavier pieces of metal in cars. Miss H arbert's
activities committee was in charge of the entire
project, and here they are groupt>d around tht'
budding scr ap heap.

The Red Cross has always done vital work,
and in time of war that wor k is doubly impor tant. The four students on the Junior Red Cross
Committee and t heir sponsor, Miss Line, have
done a fine j ob duri ng the past year. T he committee attends a meeting of the Chicago chapter
of the Junior Red Cross Council once a month
to exchange views and ideas with representatives from other schools.

True Trojans indeed are the fiity members
of the Kilehi baud. This organization. under the
direction of ).'fr. Collins, has displayed the highest quality of loyalty and school spirit by providing pep and color at several school assemblies
in addition to every home footbal l and basketball game. At the Spr ing ).fosic Festival the
work and combined efforts of every band member resulted in a remarkably professional performance, and the appearance of these capable
musicians proved of major importance in making the concert such a success.

Another organization which deserves a great

that of the band, the patience and encouragement of their leader, Mr. Collins, has spurred
the members on to enviable accomplishments.
The orchestra's major appearance of the year
was at the Spring Concert where they gave an

A new tradition was begun at X ilehi
this year with t he choosing of "Helen of
Troy." All students who had purchased
annuals were allowed to cast a vote for
their favo rite beauty. A second voting
limited the choice to three, whose pictures
were submitted to John Robert Powers
for final judgement. H t considered natural beauty and in telligence especially in
making his choice. It is hoped that this
contest will become an annual custom at
K ilehi.

�New Trier
The Trojans opened the 1943-44 baskt:tl,all
~cason by losing to an experienced i\ew Trier
team 27 to 41. As long as can be remembered
Niles has never won an opening game in basketball, an<l this year was no exception. Gockenbach
led the scoring for the losers with eleven points.
Evanston
The Trojans suffered their second straight <lefcat of the season, losing to Evanston 31 to 13.
The score speaks for itself. ~iles was outplayed
on both offense and defense. The Trojans had
not yet come into their own. but at v;.rious intervals the team showed signs of improvement.
Waukegan
The Trojans, playing befo:e a packed house,
whi11pe<I a good, fast \l\iaukegan team to the
tune o f 54 to 45. Niles was unstoppable as they
outscored the Brownies in every period. Artie
Anderson led the assault with seven f,cld goals
and thi ee free throws.
Maine
With a few bad breaks the Trojans were
nosed out by Maine 31 t o 35.
For three periods the game sec-sawed back
and forth with Maine possessing a sli~ht edge.
T owards the latter part of the game th~ Trojan
team literally fell apart. Lacking a dl'fense they
could do nothing with their offense. Go<:kenbach
l,.ft the game early, hamperi1~g the Trojan
cause considerably.
Leyden
\!\Tith blood in their eye, ~iles s1.0wc~ under
a poor defenseless Leyden team 39 to 21.
The Tr0jans started 0ut like a house on fire,
~cor ing eighteen points in ~ht:: first period. From
thar point on the Trojans had no difficul•y what"
SOPVer.
Libertyville
The TrojanJ turned back a strong Lihert:yville
team 52 to 44. Ni'<~s l,railed at half time 2l to 28.
The third p riod saw a flurry of ha.<J..ets with
Kiles geltiug the edge which they k ept to the
final whistle.

�New Trier
Before a capacity crowd the Trojans avenged
their earlier deieat by beating New Trier 31
to 29. It was a game packed with thrills and
excitement as the Trojans led 31 to 27 with
15 seconds to play. Kew Trier tried desperately
but made only one basket when the gun went
off ending the game.
Arlington
Arlington was another team to taste defeat
twice during the season at the hands of t he
Trojans. Although they made a betkr showing
than in the first game, the Trojans were never

powerful Evanston team 41 to 36, and won going away.

the gold and blue.
Zion (First Game)
The Trojans played their last game with Zion
and walked all over the foe to win by the lopsided score of 40 to 25. At no time was the

�Uh// to Uhn
Comparing the 1943-44 swim team with the
teams that preceded it is very encourag·ing and
promising for the future swim teams of Nilehi,
for there has been news of the Trojans winning
four meets. This is due to "the will to win" (quoting Coach Jesse Dees) and it is also due to
individua1 abilit:,. and skill. The Trojans defeated
Highland Park, Loyola Academy, Lake Forest
Academy, and Elgin Academy. Tbe most out:;tanding of these wins was the one against Loyola, for after losing their first meet here 40 to 28.
Kiles came back and beat them by JO points,
38 to 28.
Baller
Up!
The opening of the baseball season found plenty
of material at Coach Norm Kent'~ disposal, for
there was a large turnout including an ample
supply of .-eter;rns. This raised the hopes of
everyone for a bigger and better team and although the boys were up against some pretty
tough pitching in their first games they bUOn
fow1d their batting eyes and increased the number
of rnarks in the base hit column.

These girls exhibit their skill in performing
daring feats at some of the programs sponsored

about their aches and pains now, but in twentyfive years they will be very glad that they still

For many years the high schools of the nation have served as the "pcoplc·s
colleges." It is here that youth has experienced meutal, social, and physical growth ;
and parents and patrons have enjoyed participation through observation. \ iVith
each generation the school's fu nct ions multiply ; ils influence spreads; and, as it
should, it has become the crossroad of its constituents. Everyone within a community is benefited by the high school. Therefore. everyone should contrihute either
his time, his talent, or hi s means to the support of this American institution. Only
through the pooling of resources can progress be accelerated.
Kiles Township High School, though young in years, is no less anxious to
serve its commuuity well, and welcomes every opportunity to contribute to the
mental, moral, and physical welfare of young and old alike. To this end, let us
con tinue.

Norman i;all
Jn
October 8, 1944 marks the date Norman Hall departed
from us. When his sudden death was announced, everyone
was greatly stunned. Norm was such an exceptional physical specimep that many who knew him didn' t think it was
at all possible for him to go. Besides this, Norm's great
generosity, clean living, sense of fairness, and kindness
toward his friends made him extremely well-liked. H e
was a good student in all his classes, excelling in mathematics. He also was extremely fast on his feet and would
have developed into an exceptional football player if he
had been with us longer.
Although he left us at the early age of seventeen, a person as dean and good as Norm will. long be remembered.

i\ lthough the size of the band was somewhat reduced this
year, it remains one of the ablest organizations in the school.
Remember that big pep rally after the regional win and how
the band outdid itself?
This year, Mr. Collins had to build almost an entirely new
orchestra, having lost the greater part of his experienced
players through graduation and calls to the service. The spring
concert will undoubtedly prove, however, that once mor e he
has done a fine j ob in developing a group of capable musicians.

Remember the inspi r ing music of the Christmas Cantata,
and other vocal events of the year? Here is one of the
groups responsible for those concerts-the robed choir.
Do-re-mi. A chorus of feminine voices comes floating
down the halls, and its source is the Girls' Glee Club.
This organization was an outstanding feature of the

Evanston 7, Niles 0
Forced to open the season with a
comparatively green eleven, Head
Coach Isaacson hac.l stated before the
opening game that he would consider
the season successful if the boys scor ed
even one touchdown. They didn't score
this time, falling before the Evanston
junior varsity for the fi rst time in
three years.
Lake Forest 14, Niles 0
The Scouts obtained sweet revenge
for their overwhelming defeat by the
1943 Trojan powerhouse. The game,
featured by L. F.'s strong line and
fleet backs, was seldom in doubt. Only
in the final period did Niles threaten.
but there wasn' t enough d rive to cross
that final marker.
Outstanding school spirit carried a
large crowd of Trojans to Lake Forest to see the game.
Niles 19, Woodstock 0
Capitalizing on the breaks of the
game the Trojans scored their outstanding victory of the season.
A lterini's run of 55 yards, after a pass
intercepti on, was the highlight of the
game.

So near, and yet so far 1 Those

mark the d ifference between a loss and
a tie. The Arlington game was undoubt edly the roughes t and ''fightingest" of the season, with some of the
Trojans being challenged to combat
after the game.

This game might be classified as
"much ado about nothing." Played for
the most part in the rain. it did not
reveal outsta nding football on the part
of either team. An unusual number of
injuries iurther marred the game.

Leyden game, he perfor med well.
Nick Bogner, tackle, senior. )lick was a stalwart,
dependable lineman .
Don Christensen, full-back, senior. "Chris" had a lot
of drive and did most of the plunging for Niles. Here was

game. He was chosen honorary captain.
Bill Clynes, tackle, senior. '\' ithout junior football
experience Bill, nevertheless, perfor med creditably at
tackle.

Speed was the keynote of the Evanston offense that
ran over, around, and through Niles. Only six points
spelled dcicat.
Still Trailing
Highland Park administered i\ilehi's second beating by
another w ide margin.
Third in Row
Big Time Dundee
D undee, always an outstanding team in state standings,
handed the Trojans another loss.
What's the Matter With the Trojans?
The Waukegan BulJdogs were the third team to punioh
the Trojans severely. The Mackeymen could score o:ily
17 points.
About this time, local fans began asking the above
question. Liber tyville edged us, 36-29.
Bright Spot
What, Again?
Our first conference game against \ Varren also brought
our first win of the season, 36-25. Maybe Lady Luck
would smile--
"New Trier did it again, 44-38. Th.is was the first time
i11 three years that the Trojans had failed to break even
with the Green \Vave.
Stormy Sailing Ahead
Oh, Happy Day!
- - Out she didn't. Leyden, ).J ilehi's v1ct1m for nine
year~ of basketball, finally turned the tables, 41-35.
The VVoodstock win started us on our way. Up to
now, it had been nine losses out of ten starts.
Back in the Doghouse
This Was Brutal
Crystal Lake didn't make Trojan fans any happier by
grabbing 50 points while limiting us to 36.
Point starved for so Jong, the Trojans really turned
on the heat in ro11ting a hapless Lake Forest five, 55-29.

�Up From the Depths
As It Should Be
The mighty Cardinals, atop the heap, felt the wrath
d the )Ji les FiYc-a decided upset, 52-34.
Leyrlen couldn't repeat their surpr ise win earl ier in
the season. )Jumber nine in the string.
Sweet Revenge
Meanies From Evanston
Two points sent the Lil>crtyville quintet back home
defeated. It was number four for Kiles.
The '\Vildkits weren't impressed by the nine straight
wins and mauled the Trojans badly.
Maine Mauled
Back in the Groove
Another comeback from an eai-l ier defeat was registered
at Maine's expense. Again the Trojans won by two points.
Scouts Scalped
Niles left no doubt in the minds oi anyone about th is
g:ame. Number six showed we really harl a powerhouse.

Mr. Ike
Director of athletics. head football and baseball coach,
and j unior varsity basketball mentor-yes, all these jobs
are held hy one man, Mr. Harold Isaacson.
This fall he took a green football team into the Northeast Conierence. While the Trojans didn't set the world
on fire, they did push across two wins and lost another by
only two points. A strong junior varsity and freshmen
team should help ~1r. Ike work some o[ his old magic
next year.
Dur ing the winter Mr. Ike also guided the junior
varsjty basketball team to the conference championship,
despite the fact that the varsity took over his leading
point-maker early in the season.
Then spring brought in baseball, and the versatile
Trojan had another big job on his hands. It isn't easy to
handle a group of thirty boys without any assistance, but
Mr . Ike did it again!
;:
,,
Mr. Mackey
Mr. Kiviluoma
Coach Bob ::\fackey came into the limelight last winter,
when his team mopped up all conference opposition,
emerging as co-champions of the loop. The Trojans really
r eached the heights, however, by winning the \Vaukegan
regional.
Coach Mackey rounds out his sports activities by directing the fortunes of the junior varsity football team and the
freshmen ba5eball squad.
Mr. IGviluoma proved that he knew something other
than cube r oots hy coaching the freshmen court cavorters
and bringing back golf to Niles Township. Here was
another coach making a fine r ecord in his first seastin
with us.
Mr. Rickard
This year's successful swimming squad was under the
direction of :\fr. Rickard, who is spending his first year at
N.T.H.S. His freshmen football team would have had
the record of having beaten ever y opponent, ha<l it not
been for Evanston. Under his direction fou r school track
records were broken this spring.

Mr. VanArsdale
:\fr. Van.Arsdale was in charge of this year's crosscountry squad. Ile was the third of our trio of excellent
fir st-year coaches.
�Determined to outclo last year's
staff. which won ::--J.S.P.A. first-class

"Have you found his picture yet?"
These and a multitude of other questions have hf'f'n askec'l ancl answered

A. L. Biehn, A.B., A.M., Ph.D.
Since the close of the .school year of i 944-45, the world has witnessed
events of unprecedented importance to mankind in general and to high
school students in particular. The triumph of our fighting forces over the
foe in the Far East was paramount. It made possible the demobilization
of armies and navies, the reunion of families, and the reconversion to peace
time production. Our national debt is dwarfed by our debt of gratitude
to the gallant men and women who risked their lives that this nation might
endure, and is second only to the debt we owe to those who made the
supreme sacrifice.
The present is, a nd the future may be, beset with problems the solution
of which will require greater skill and ingenuity than that shown in the past
few years. Our task is to provide the ballast necessary to keep this na tion
at an even keel. High school boys and girls can ill afford to shirk their
responsibility.

�The death of LeRoy Lehman on September 7, 1945,
came as a shock to all of his many friends at Nilehi.
LeRoy was born June 27, 1928. He attended Morton
Grove Elementary School before entering Niles Township High School. During his first two years here he
was very active in football and basketball, but at the
b.eginning of his junior year he was prevented from
participating in sports because of a heart condition. He
then developed his interest iu machinery and out-of-door
life.
LeRoy possessed many rare qualities of character, not
the least of which was his depe~dability. His radiant
personality won him popularity with teachers and
students alike, and we will always remember the warm
friendliness of his smile.
LeRoy Lehman
IN MEMORIAM
Jerry Whalen
September 25, 1945, marks the day of Jerry Whalen's
sudden death. Jerry had an exceptional personality. His
smiling face and merry eyes will long be remembered.
"Tiger," as be was called by his classmates, was a
typical American boy who liked sports. He was a member
of the Junior class and of the Junior Varsity football
team at the time of his death.
Born on January 16, 1930, Jerry led a short but vivacious life. His many friends felt a deep loss when
. Jerry was taken from us. Happy memories of him will
continue to live with us for a long time.

�THE VARSITY SWIMMERS
The varsity swimmers in their first year under :M r. Anton T. Schubert perfo rmed
outstandingly well in the face of many difficult meets. T he team was sparked by
Ted Ebert, senior, chosen Most Valuable Man and elected Honorary Captain by
his teanunates. During the season Ted broke the school 100-yard crawl record
which he himself already held. The fifty-yard crawl recor d was smashed by Herb
Jones, sophomore, when he swam the distance at a 26.9 clip. ·
The Frosh-Soph swimmers showed outstanding promise as future varsity candidates by breaking every school record previously established.
Roth teams, however, suffered several setbacks, but through their spirit and fight
a g reatly improved team met and defeated \~aukegan , who had beaten them earlier
in the season. ·
'Ne can feel sure in saying that the 1945-46 team was the beginning of a new and
better era for Nilehi swimming teams.

�SPRING SPORTS
KILEHI BASEBALL fans had just reason t'J
assume a cheerful attitude toward the 1946 season.
With five regulars hack from the 1945 conference
co-champions, the Trojans appeared stronger in
everv position. Determined to avenge a trouncing
recefvecl in the second round of the district tournament l;ist year, the team hustled from the beginning of the seaso n under the leadership of the new
coach, L. E. Galitz.
The 1946 schedule included games with New
Trier, Evanston, Highland Park, Leyden, Arlington Heights, \Varren, \Voodstock, and Barrington.
U nder Mr. Hussey and Mr. Isaacson, the candidates for Varsity and Frosh-Soph worked hard.
Second in the Northeast Conference last year,
the cinder men faced an even tougher schedule
this season, which included Crystal Lake, Lake
Forest, Leyden, \Varren, Arlington, Maine, and
the Palatine Relays.
GOLF, in its second season under Mr. Kiviluoma, although due for a pretty tough schedule,
was promising.
The veterans from 1945 who formed the nucleus
for the 1946 team included Bob Bierbaum, infielder ; llob lfoman, catcher; John Lane and Don
Biehn, pitchers ; and Herb Jaehnke, outfielder.
Undefeated in 1945, with five wins and one tie,
the team was in line for excellent results this season. The two returning lettennen to the squad
were Bob Dombrowski and Gene Hegarty. In the
State District Meet in 1945, Dombrowski missed
qualifying by just one stroke.
TRACK, ever increasing in power and popularity at Niles, was blessed \vith a good turn-out early
in the spring.
The schedule this year consisted of Maine,
\'Vaukegan, Leyden . Bensenville, and Arlington in
addition to the state district.

�Graduating classes, like the seasons of
the year, come and go. As surely as- a new spring follows in the
wake of winter, or a ne,v summer steps into the spotlight of June,
each commencement season at >.'ilehi finds a new class marching
off stage into the wings of the future.
Although each new class, like each recurrcn t season, has many
µoints in common with its predecessors, the specific . details of its
activity and achievement are always unique. The 1947 Reflections
puts the spotlight on some of these details in the pages which
foll<;nY. To you, the seniors of 1947 at Niles Township High School,
we dedicate this book in the hope that it ·will help to_ µreserve the
memory of a year that was happy and helpful. 1fay the years to
come be happy and helpful and many.

It is \Yith mixed emotion that "·e say fare,,·ell to each
group of graduates; happy because of the individual
achievement of o many; sad from the knowledge that
graduation mean the parting of the \\·ays for pupils and
teachers.

Superintendent
\\"hat Niles Township High School will mean to its
a lumni is largely dependent upon the contri bution of
the individuals while they are member of its student
body. \Vhat N il es Town hip High School will mean to
others will largely be determined by the achievements
in the years t0 come, of tho e ,,·ho pass through the
experiences which lead to graduation. lt is our hope
that each passing year \\·ill, through the acts and
achievements of its students a nd teachers, enrich the
tradition and enhance the reputation of N iles Township
H igh School, so that it may continue t o be a sou rce of
pride and joy to our patr ons and to all pupils \\·hose
privilege it is to be numbered among its alumni.

Dramatics productions have always been popular
social events at Nilehi, and the hilarious comedy
"Our Hearts \Vere Young and Gay" proved no exception. The play was presented February 13, 14,
and 15 under the direction of Miss Helen Hughes
assisted by two student directors, Bea Delles and
Marv Alice Clvnes.
Adapted for· the stage from the book of the same
name, it was the true account of the experiences of
Cornelia Otis Skinner and Emily Kimbrough when

Because of the present crowded condition o[ established colleges and universities, the University of Illinois
has developed extension centers in high schools of the state where work of the freshman year might be provided. This system is functioning in approximately 30 high schools in lllinois.
The college classes at Kilehi, which are fifty-six minutes in length, are held in the late afternoon. No
registration for less than two semesters is accepted. The tuition for a semester is $100 plus $5 general laboratory and library fee. Sophomore classes will not be offered next year, and freshman classes may be discontinued.
Freshman programs are usually basic
and general, no matter what field the student intends to concentrate in later. Rhetoric l and Rhetoric 2 (English) and
hygiene are required. For his electives,
the student may select from courses in
accountancy, chemistry, speech. general
engineering drawing, histor~·, mathematics, economics, and zoology.
The r{ilehi facnlty members who taught
the college classes this year were Charles
Ilussey; Thomas Kiviluoma, Harold Ohlson, Ronald VanArsdale, Paul Eberhardt,
:Miss Ada Immel, lV[iss Theresa Kranz,
~Iiss Helen Keenan, John Betts, John
\Vilkins. and Rnrlyard Cook of Northwestern University.

This year's Jay Vee Squad ttncler Coach Rohert Mackey
raised the Trojan colors high in live games hut were
trampled in the other seven. Even with this record, and
their finishing in a three-way tie for fifth place in the conferem:c, they showed some excellent material for next season's Varsity. The Frosh F ive did a little better by taking
five games out of their nine game schedule but they were
missing the close final scores so typical of the Junior Varsity season .

The K.T.H.S. Varsity swnnmers completed
their . best season on record by heating Morton,
Steinmetz, and Taft twice. Rudy Schmid and Ilob
Blessing smashed school records in hack-stroke
and breast-stroke. Also under Mr. Schubert, the
Junior Varsity did nearly as well by heating : \for.
ton, Maine, and Taft.
The fotfr boys on the opposite page, along v,·ith
Lou Kettel, Nilehi crawl star, led the Trojans on
to their successful season.
�SWIMMERS
BOB BLESSING was voted .xiost Valuable Swimmer
by his team-mates for the sterling quality of his work.
After breaking the 100-yarcl breast stroke record in the
first meet of the season, he went on to break his own
record four more times, the last being at the State meet
at New Trier high school. Bob did this at a clip of 1 :14.5
placing fourteenth in the state.
_}J.onorary Caplain
GENE HEGARTY, because of his stalwart snpport
throughout the season. was elected Honorary Captain
by the squad. A hard worker, he was always stnvmg

The Conference Champ track stars o:i Nilehi are striving for a repetition of last
year's season with the aid of returning lettermen : Phil Brice, George Pasek, Howard
Siegel, Bob Pearson, Bill Penner, Joe Wettengel, Bob Farr, Jim Heiniger and
Bob \Vitte. :N'iles should be well represented in high jumping, pole vaulting, broad
jumping, shot put, discus, hurdles, dashes, distance, and relays. Coaches Charles
Hussey and Arthur Ryden believe that the Trojans will make a good showing
under their own arc-lights in the Northeast Conference Track Meet.
C:ROSS
COUNTRY
Under the guidance of Coarh
Ryden, N iheli has this year attempted to revive Cross Country
as a high-school sport. Coach
Ryden huilt up his small but
spunky squad from all new material, with none of last year's track
distance men. As there was no
definite conference, the meets had
to be arranged separately with
each school. The award winners
who led the team to victory in the
Triangular Cross Country ).,feet
were Jue Toth. Don Zetnick, and
Bill Hutchings . Other hard-running "harriers" were Bil.I Grafkc,
Merrill Taylor, Carl Schrimpf,
and Bill Bruce. \Vi.th a nucleus of
returning veterans, next year's
squad should carry Trojan colors
high in this sport.

:Jo Ike Senior~ o/ 1948:
The pleasure which comes from four years of associating with you is equalled only
by the satisfaction which results from witnessing your ascent up life's ladder of
success. If you have developed some confidence, acquired the problem-solving technique. and discovered your personal aptitudes, your foundation stones have been
well laid. Let me hasten to remind yon that even the most rugged foundation will
soon deteriorate if exposed and unused. It therefore behuoves you to develop the
skills and abilities which you have discovered, and to exercise your problem-solving
technique, lest it become a lost art. Thus by planning wisely and acting quickly,
your success is inevitable.

Since the beginning of the school year, the
General Staff, under Mr. Eberhardt's supervision,
has spent several periods a week and many hours
outside of school to complete this yearbook. A
list of the many obstacles to be overcome by the
staff would take more space than the reader would
want us to use.
Under the direction of Miss Grace Pendleton.
adviser, and Charlene Jacobson, chairman, the
Senior-Faculty Staff of the yearbook took a big
job upon themselves in scheduling the senior and
faculty picture sittings, in arranging the pictures
for the yearbook paste-ups, and in preparing the
senior activity lists.

Much credit should be given to the Financial
Staff under the supervision of Mr. Van Arsdale.
It was their endless job to raise funds to make
your yearbook possible.

appearing in the five local newspapers.

High School. In this, the first
program of its kind to be held
in our school, the subjects ranged
from those of commercial value
to those of value in the home.
The classes were held from 7 :30

Complicated, yet hilarious, was the play, "A Date With Judy,"
presented by Nilehi dramatists on November 21 and 22 in the
Assembly Room. Coached by Miss Muriel Higgins, the play,
adapted from the radio show of the same name, delighted capacity crowds at both performances with the adventures of the
Foster family: Dora, Melvin, Randolph, and Judy.
Early in the play, complications entangled the plot when
Judy and her girl friend, Mitzi H offman, decided to enter a contest to sell subscriptions to the Community Relief Fund. However, other neighborhood girls soon proved tough competition,
for the prize was an intriguing one-the winner to reign as
queen of a dance.
Judy and Mitzi decided that their chances of v.~nning would
be. increased if they themselves contributed generously to the
fund. With the hope of winning the money necessary for this
contest, they entered numerous other contests.
Complications and hilarity together shared the plot as Judy's
true confession story, "I am a Bigamist," was confused with
Mrs. Foster·s address to the P . T. A . Judy's other attempts to
MO various contests resulted in situations equal!y as funnyand as embarrassing I
Mr. Foster received honorable mention for having "kissable
lips." :Mrs. Foster wa'S duly favored with an award from Glints,
"The Hair Dye for Lively Ladies."
Complication faded away and hilarity took over completely,
as the conclusion found Queen Judy happily occupying the much
coveted throne.

··s recently- rmed dramatics club,
The
production-the drama,
has scored a triumph with 1
"Kind Lady," presented on March 12 and 13 in the Nilehi
Assembly Room. Miss Muriel Higgins, dramatics teacher,
sponsors the infant organization, which, after its first time in
the "spotlight," shows definite possibilities of growing up fast!
Mary Herries, the "Kind Lady," was portrayed by Angela
Vosnos.
At· the beginning of the play, Mary pennitted her generosity
and Christmas spirit to overrule her common sense. She allowed
a suspicious-looking stranger, Henry Abbott, to enter her house
for the purpose of drinking a Christmas cup of tea, or so she
was led to believe by the crafty intruder.
Abbott realized that he could easily move his family and his
friends, Mr. and Mrs. Edwards and their daughter, Aggie, into.
Mary's house by imposing upon her kind nature. With this
observance in mind, he told Mary the tragic story of his sick
wife and baby who were homeless and without money.
As Abbott planned, Mary opened her home to his supposedly
ailing dependents. When the Edwards family also arrived, the
house was taken over completely, and Mary was held prisoner
by Abbott, who hoped he could force her to sign her property
over to him.
Although Mary's first attempts to notify the police resulted in
heartbreaking failure, she eventually succeeded ; and the wealthy
old lady, whose kindliness nearly cost her her life, was rescued.

Art Miller's dependable consistency won him the title of
Honorary Captain for the 1947
season. His fighting spirit and
play was a big asset to the
morale of the Trojan eleven.
There was little doubt among
Jim Heiniger's teammates concerning who should be elected
Most Valuable Player. This
honor climaxed Jim's three years
as the first string, varsity right
halfback.

'dable ball player.
of four excellent ends, Ed will probably see a lot
ehi gridiron 11ext fall. He is one of the nine letter·
a.fl/ retum next year.
Tom Black, back, junior
Oppo11ents found that Tommy's small size 'W£IS not lo be
1t11derestimaled. The hard-hitting line backer played mostly
011 defe11se, but also proved to be a11 offensive sparkplug.
Jim Blessing, back, senior
When the Troja11s were shy of a first down, Jim could
always be depe11ded 011 to pick up the necessary yardage.
His flashing cleats will be missed next year by Nilehi rooters.
Don Carlson. end, senior
Whe11 the going was tough, Arne's aggressive spirit decidedly bolstered the Trojan morale. Injuries sidelined him ill
mid-seaso11. Anti! will always be a credit to a11y team.
Bill Comstock, end, senior
The Soergel-to-Comstock passing combination was a familiar touchdown-maker for the Trojan eleven. Also a great
defensive e11d, Bill was named to the All-Conference team and
was given honorable mentio11 in the All-State ratings.
Tom Fitzgerald, guard, senior
Tom was ju.rt develofri1i,g into an outstanding lineman when
injuries be11ched him for the remainder of the seasoii.
Bill Fotsch, tackle, senior
The coaches could alwa)•s depe11d 011 Bill to give his best
when it was 11eeded. Bill is one of the .reventun graduates
who will be abseni from 11ext year's grid season.
Lee Garner, back, senior
Lee's mgged tackling proved to be a menace to opposing
players. His superior offe11sive play also contributed to his
status as a sixty-minute man.
Laurence Hall, tackle, senior
One of the biggest me11 in a Trojm1 uniform, Laure11ct's
dependable play WCJS much feared by opposing linemen. Many
OH'S and AR'S tt:ere draw11 from the crowd by his ferociou.s
lack/es.
Jim Heiniger, back, senior
Any school that is Jortu11ate to get Jim's talent next year
tl'ill truly have the services of a potential All-American. HiJ
selection to the All-Co11fert11Ce team and his All-State honorable mention proved lo his teammates that they had made
110 mistake iii electing Jim "Most Valuable Player."
�WARRIORS
Ed Kutz, back, senior
Art Miller, tackle, senior
Eddy's speed a11d ability to think quickly made 1ip for what
he lacked i11 size. Northeast Conference competitio11 never
km?'W wlrat play u.>as coming nest when, he U!aS in at quarterback.
Altho11gh his brother Al was 1111Ssing this year, the consistently 011tstrmding play of this tackle was every bit as
good, if 1101 better. Art's teammates elected him Honorary
Captai11 for the seaso11.
Lenny Lange, back, sophomore
Ward Nipper, end, junior
Being promoted from the Jmiior Varsity in mid-season,
Lem1y fillr:d in well when Soergel was injured. His passing
arm will spell t--r-o-u-b-l-e for opp01i.ents in the nut ~o
seasons.
Ward's size a11d def1e11dability will be Jmt to good use next
year when the Trojans take the field against new opposition.
Ed Linskey, guard, senior
Dick Norman, tackle, junior
Ed- carried his fighti11g Irish spirit to the gridiron where it
decidedly helped the Troians out of many tough spots.
M11ch of the credit for yardage gaim?d this year should go
to Dick, who paved the 'l.1.Kly for Trojan ball carriers by
rippi11g big holes i>i the opposing line. A lot is expected from
Dick 11ext year.
Pete Heiniger, back, sophomore
Don Siegel, back, junior
Pete represe11's the last of the Heinigers, and his alert play
this seaso1i lived up to family standat'ds. He wa..r one of the
three sop/(0111ores who ma.de the varsity squad.
"Little Red" composed one-half of the speedy brother combination that was always a scoring threat. This versatile halfback is another returning letterman.
Herb Jones, end, senior
Howard Siegel, back, junior
This power/141 end uw of te1i seen crashing th~ough the
opposition's interference to spill ball carriers for considerable
losses: Herb worked into a starting position in the latter
part of the season.
"Big Red's" amasfog speed a11d dodging ability co11tribt.ded
mitch to the scoring column. Once he mt loose from the
opposing line, he was as good as go11e.
Ed Kadlec, center, senior
Ed Soergel, back, senior
Ed switched from guard to center this year, but the change
had no effect on the superior quality of his play. His fierce
fi,,e-backing was a me11ace to opposing quarterbacks:
Ed's loss was deeply felt i11 the Lake Forest game. Ht
was put out of commissio11 late in the season, but "Cru.syli!gs" Kill lo11g be remembered by the Northeast Co11ference
coaches.
Jim Kennedy, tackle, sophomore
Ralph Walberg, center, junior
Along with size, Jim had speed, which was sometimes used
/Jy moving him to the halfback spot. He shows plenty of
promise for the nest two years at Niles.
The size and power of this tow-headed iunior will be very
'1:a!11able to the 19411 eleven. He was one of the most dependable players on the field.
Noel Kiefer, tackle, senior
Jim Wead, center, senior
A11other big man, Noel's eq1wlly big spirit was decidedly
11dvm1tage01es to the 11wrale of the team.
A high-spirited sub, Jim was always eager to lake over
the football chores whm he got the chance.

Gordon Anderson, center, senior
Don Carlson, guard, senior
One of the coolest players on the team, Gordy had to play
most of the season against men who were much taller than
he. His dead eye was also a great asset to the Trojan quintet.
Whe11 the Trojan five needed a steadying hand and some
points. Arne was a welcom.e sight on the floor.
Lee Garner, guard, senior
Ed Beebe, center, junior
Ed's excellent reboimding ability pulled more than ane game
011t of the fire for the Trojans.
Wherever cooler heads prevailed, Lee was Oil the spot.
He was a valuable man, both on offense and -on defense.
Jim Heiniger, guard, senior
Jim Blessing, forward, senior
Jim reached his peak in the all-important Leyden game,
in which he tallied 24 points. His ama::ing shots will be
greatly missed next year.
Doo. Brown, forward, senior
Staying out for four years, Don was always ready to lift
the spirit of the team whe'! the chance came.
Bill Comstock, guard, senior
Bill was switched to the guard position this year, and performed eq11ally well iii this position. He was a imammous
choice for the All-Conference team.
Jim'.s competitive .spirit carried over from the gridiron to the
basketball court. Jim was a very steady player, and wvally
could be counted on ta score from eight to twelw points a
game.
Ed Kutz, guard, senior
Ed's speed and clever ball ha11dling were greatly mi.rsed
after Fei.JrMry 1, when he broke his ankle.
Wayne Piehler, center, senior
One of the ta/le.st t11ei1 on the squad, Wayne was always
ready to take over the pivot spot when ht wa.r given the
chance.
Howard Siegel, forward, senior
Roger Coverley, guard, senior
Another good .rub, Rog had the ability to pour in poims ju.rt
when they were needed.
Red's amazing speed was put to good use on the fast-bf'eaking offense. He al.so stood out on defense, and was the second
Trojan named 011 the All-Conference team.

�This year's Water Carnival, again under the direction of Anton Schubert, was
the usual success. Sellout crowds attended the six performances, two each night, on
March 18, 19, 20. Louis Hilfer and Leslie Meyer were elected by the rest of the cast
to do the duet number, the climax of the show. It was a Water· Carnival of the
~ations, and it included the customs of Ireland, America, Holland, Hawaii, Spain,
Austria (Vienna), and also a number entitled "The Virginia Reel." If a better show
is eventually produced, it will be a notable year in Nilehi productions.

The Nilehi swimming team, coached by Anton
Schubert, completed a good season by winning five
meets, losing six, and tying one. Herb Jones, Bob
Lindahl, and Dick Provost were the pace-setters during mos·t of the season, and Provost placed sixth in
the state diving finals . .The loss of Rudy Schmid, who
underwent an appendeetomy, handicapped the team
before the season was half over. Also this year, for
the first time, a Junior Varsity swimming team was
organized.

Tho_mas Kiviluoma, Arthur Ryden, Anton Schubert
Harold Isaacson, Football
The oldest man on the coaching staff, Ike also takes
care of the athletic duties. He has been a favorite of
Nilehi boys for sixteen years and has shown this from
the caliber of the boys he has turned out in athletics.
Arthur Ryden, Cross-Country
This is Mr. Ryden's second year at Niles and already he has proved himself to be one of the most
energetic of all the coaches. He also coached Freshman
football and track this year.
L. R. Mackey, Basketball
Once again Mac proved his excellent coaching ability by molding a not-highly-rated Trojan team into
the conference champions. That made three out of
three for Mac who coached the '{3.rsity only two other
times before 1948.
Anton Schubert, Swimming
If you were asked what figure was seen most often
in the Nilehi swimming pool, there would only be one
answer: Mr. Schubert. He coached the team, directed
the Water Carnival, and had charge of the underclass
swim periods, besides .being the lifeguard on the recreational swimming nights.
Thomas Kiviluoma, Golf
Mr. Kiviluoma, who is more popularly referred to
as "T. J .," only coached in this one sport, but he did
a very commendable job, if you'll remember the star
he turned out last year, Bob Dombrowski, who averaged 72 for the season.
Charles Hussey, Track
In his third year here, Mr. "Huss" was trying for
his third Northeast Conference championship. After
his Jay Vee basketball team had dropped six of their
first eight games, they won the next twelve and the
conference crown.
James Phipps, Baseball
A former member of the New York Vankees, Mr.
Phipps is the only freshman of the coaching staff. He
became popular with the students very rapidly, and
it looks as though he will want to remain at Niles for
quite a while.

�Last Conference Year
The Trojan athletic teams were keyed up for
almost every conference game this year because
it was the last year of the Northeast Conference.
Lake Forest, Warren, \i\'oodstock, Crystal
Lake, and Libertyville withdrew and became
members of the new North Suburban League,
while Niles, Arlington, and Leyden were leit
holding the bag. Up until spring, basketball
had the best record. Both teams won the conference championship, under the leadership of
Mr. Mackey and Mr. Hussey. Harold Isaacson 's football team started ont with a string of
shutouts, but then they were upset by Arlington, 13 to 6, and beaten by Lake Forest in the
final game, 14 to 0.

�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!

one-act "Mushrooms Coming Up," had to prepare for her
entrance with Margie Kirscht applying the powder, and
Doris Lyde fixing her tresses.
Suspense, drama, and mystery were
the formula for rhe one-acr play, "High

A Message to the Graduates:
Each year we hope and pray that next yea-ls class wilt not be forced to go out into a
world filled with problems, but that Utopia never comes. Knowing this, adults of each
generation try to prepare youth for that day when they leave school and take their places
in the world of work.
We hope that you have learned to attack a problem scientificalty; that you have
learned to p1·ofit by the worth-while experiences of othen; and that yott have learned how
to attract and keep worth-while friends. If you have accomplished these characteristics
and developed a proper attitude towat·d work and play, your life's problems will be fewer
and comparatively easy to solve. Your parents, teachers, and others believe that you are
ready for the next step in your life; the next few years wilt tetl.
The Board of Education takes this opportunity to extend best wishes to every member
of the class of 1951 .

President, Board of Education, District 219

A. L. Biehn, A.B., M.A., Ph.D.
To the Class of 195 1:
Each generation has been beset with hardships. Yours is no exception. To compensate
for the adversities of your generation, you will inherit the knowledge, the experiences, and
the scientific achievements of many generations. lf7 ith these advantages, plus your own
ingenuity, you will be able to cope with the situation, come what may.
Those of us who have watched you grnw physically and mentally are not pessimistic
about the futu1·ej it is the present that gives cause for concern. Our prayer is that those
who occupy high posts in our governm ent at the present time do not permit our heritage
to be dissipated to the extent that your path will be made doubly difficult.
During your sojourn at Niles Township High School you have shown the effect of
excellent home training. The lessons you learned there, like those you learned here, wiil
become more and more meaningful as each is applied in the sol11tion of a life problem.
We trust that you will continue to increase yoU1· affection f 01· your home and your interest
in the welfare of your school, community, and nation.
A. L. BIEHN,
Superintendent
�DJIEDJllCA11flON
The death of Dr. Albert L. Biehn, Saturday evening, April 28, 1951, leaves
each of us with a sense of loss so personal that words and phrases fail us,
and we dwell alone with our thoughts and emotions.
We can, however, speak clearly of him as we knew him: as a strong leader,
as a wise counselor, and as a staunch friend. We were fortunate to have had
Dr. Biehn with us many years. His influence was deep, and it will remain with
us, a vital and rich inheritance. That influence will guide us and support us
as thouf!.h by his living hand, mind and heart. Let our tribute to Dr. Biehn
be that we obser·ve steadily and with a clear eye the many guide posts for our
welfare that he erected durin!( the ye.:Jrs of service he devoted to Niles Township High School.
Because the above words read over the public-address system by Mr. Harold
Ohlson, Monday morning, April 30, express so well the feelings of the Reflections staff, we repeat them here.
Dr. Biehn came to Niles Township High School in the summer of 1942
after serving as principal of the high school in Fairbury, Nebraska, for six
years. Previom to his principalship he was athletic coach and te.1cher of history and physical educ(1/io11. Dr. Biehn always had a keen interest in athletics
and an active concern for the spirit of good sportsmanship in all human
endeavor.
In deep appreciation of Dr. Biehn's constant devotion to the ideals of friendship, tolerance, humility, and worthy achievement and of his long service to the
welfare of Niles Township High School, we dedicate this book .

sheUackin.iis in Nilehi football hisrory. It should be noted,
though, that this Proviso team went on to capture the
mythical state championship.
The Trojans ran up their highest score of the season
as they avenged last year's loss to the Bucs. Russ O'Grady,
Nilehi fullback, ripped through center twice for run& of
80 and 50 yards, borh of which resulted in touchdowns.
�Morton 7-7
Proving to be much more powerful than expected, the
Cardinals' aggressiveness and spirit almost turned the
trick on the Trojans. But in the fourth quarter Nilehi
gridsters insured their third victory by keeping Arlington's
offense deep in its own territory.
Evanston 48-0
I
Arlington 6-9
"Up" for the annual homecoming game, rhe men of
Troy achieved a tie against their Suburban League foe.
The Nilehi line's ability to break through the Mustangs'
forward wall time after time to throw enemy backs for
losses keynoted the game.
Highland Park 12-7
By fumbling away the ball the first two times they had it,
rhe Trojans set up two easy Wildkit scores. Coach Virgil
Van Cleave cleared the bench in the waning minutes, as
our gridsters suffered their third loss of the season.
The Trojans scored first in rheir last game when D on
Walter dashed rhrough center for a TD but failed to
discourage the Little Giants whose late rally meant defeat
for our lads. Our season's record was three wins, four
losses, and one tie.

Playing a difficult 22-game schedule, includ·
ing lj.\lch top-flight state teams as La Gtange
and Oak Park, Nilehi's. varsity cagers could
capture only six_ victories. But tO' their credit
the Trojans imprc;ved continually as the season
progressed. Compared co their two lone decisions in the fir6t half of the season, our
lads won four concests in the last half. This
improvement enabled the Trojans ro put forth
a real battle in their last game of the seasonagai nst New Trier in the regionals. After
building up a 16 - 12 advantage at the end
of the first half, the Nilehi five desperately
fought the Terriers' relentless second -half
attack but fi nally lost out, 47 to 42.

With the strength of the 1951 varsity basebal l
team built around on ly five returning lettermen,
Ed Trausch, Ken Howard , Ron Juern, Fred
Daeschler, and Bob Richter, Coach James Phipps
counted heavily on players up from last year' s
sophomore and junior teams. At the time of this
writing, the T rojan record is three wins and five
losses. In the Suburban Lea.g ue they own two
victor ies and four defeats.
The big weakness so far has been the nme s
inability to bit. The squad's batting average i6
a poor .185, with Bob Rich rer leading in the individual race with a .357 average. The mound

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.
Seated, left to right: Ronald Lehman, Greg Wold, Russ Krause, Fred Bussey, Pat Troupe.
Standing, left to right: Gary Krueger, Les Klevay, Mr. Harold Ohlson (adviser) .
national fionor Societ"
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
Bell, Greg Wold, Bruno Dal Corobbo. Standing, left to right: John Thompson, John Budai, Al Mather, Les
Klevay.

��Seated, left to f'ight: Jerry Weissburg, Carol Cox, Roy Kittredge, Bill Below.
Standing, left to right: Miss Margaret deBooy (adviser), Diane Von Eitzen, Marvin Farwell, Caroline Puechner.
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.

�Sprinting around left end is N ilehi quarterback Ken Howard for chose all-important 5ix points, but several Waukegan Bulldogs were anxious to halt the p igskin before it
ended its journey. This was the Men of Troy's first game
and the Du lldogs captured it after a furious battle, 13 to 0.
Trojan fullback Ed Trausch (33) drives off left tackle
for a sizable gain before several New Trier defensemen
manage co br ing him down when the Nilehi gridscers
played host to the New Trier Green Wave. Although the
score was tied at the half, the Trojans were overpowered
by the Green Wave co the score of 18 to 6.
Trojans to the left, right and back of Ed, respectively, are
Chuck Lind, R on Lehman, and Ken Howard.
Larry Bueder (94) and Ken Howard ( 11 ) rush co the
assistance of Nilehi center Russ Krause (forward) and
Chuck Lind (on ground) who is tackling an unidentified
Proviso ball carrier during a contest on the Nilehi home
gridiron. Coach Virgil Van Cleave's boys lost to the strong
Maywood ream 33 to 0.
Nilehi fullback Don Eastman drags three Marmion defen·
ders with him for a few extra yards. This kind of fighting
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
lead never to be headed thereafter. It was t:he local lads'
first win of the year.

�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)
and Larry Bueder (94). Fullback Ed Trausch flanks
Stoorhoff while Harry Krueger (34) , end, observes the
al"rion.
Big Ed Trausch. Trojan fullback, plunges over the goal
line to rack up six more points for the Men of Troy in
their conquesr of the Caders of Morgan Park. The local
lads won the comest 14-12 in the last cwency seconds.
Guard Jack Thiry ( 14) helps clear rhe way as tackle Ron
Lehman (23) looks oo. Ed Trausch and Jack Thiry
were elected Mose Valuable Player and Caprain, respectively, by their teammates on the Trojan varsity.
The fighting men of Troy ended their 1951 football season in a snow storm which kept both rhe little Giants of
Highland Park aod rbe Trojans to a near standstill
throughout 1he game.
The many frozen fans who came to see rhis annual Homecoming game ~aw the score end in a 6-6 deadlock as the
hard-charging Trojans had to fight back from almost the
beginning to gain this well deserved tie.

�His Message
..
The future of any nation is dependent upon the
young people of that nation, and America is blessed
with having a group of young people who are equal
to the tasks which are ahead of them. Through four
years of high school we have provided you with
opportunities to work and study together; and with
situations where you could practice good-citizenship
and gain experience as the future leaders of your
community. Whether we have succeeded or failed
in these attempts can be read in the history of America tomorrow. We have no hesitancy in trusting that
future to you. We know that your training in the
basic fundamentals which have made our country
great has been good and we know that history will
bear out the high expectations which w;' have for
you.
JOSEPH A. MASON

To the Board of Education:
The class of 1953 wishes to
thank the Board for its untiring
efforts in making N.T.H.S. a school
of which we can be justly proud.
�The Board of Education of Niles Township Community
High School is justly proud of the school, the faculty and
the graduates.
From Colleges and Universities around the country
comes the very welcome message that our people do wel I
in competition with those from other High Schools. That
speaks well for our school and it's graduates, regardless of
whether they continue their education in College or go
directly to some job.
Congratulations and Best Wishes to the Class of 1953.
W. C. BORNEMEIER, M.D.

�SENIORS
��History of the Class of '5 3
Rememb er how you felt the first time you stepped into the new, unfamilia r
halls of Nilehi? Rememb er your first class and how foolish you felt when you
had to ask where to find a certain room? Rememb er the first pep assembly ? The
first game! The Homecom ing Snake Dance and the big ban-fire that followed
!
I know these are things I'll never forget. How about you?
Say, do you remembe r our class officers that year? They were Dave Hagenow ,
Jacquie Marshall , L Conners, Ginny Jacobson , Joyce Western, Frank Gutowsk y,
ois
and Dick Rosenber g.
We certainly had a lot of fun our freshman year, but time does move on
and soon we began the new fall term as sophomo res .
Mar le ne Milazzo, Joe Duenser, Lauralee Lammers feld, Carol Wolter, Leanne
Walrath, Louis Turcany and Carol Wise were elected our class represent atives,
and everyone settled down to another eventful year. Rememb er that year's highlights? There were the first Reflection s in two years, football and basketba ll games
with o ur own class represen ted, first Homecom ing Parade, and many more things
that should bring back memorie s.
In the fall of '5 1 we elected our represent atives to the Junior Council. They
were: Carol Cox, Ray Kittredge , Diane Von Eitzen, Bil l Below, Jerry Weissbur g,
Marv Farwell a nd Caroline Puechner .
This was rea ll y an eventful year. The Code of Ethics was adopted and we
chose a new school crest which symboliz ed the ideals expresse d in the Code.
And how many students can forget our "Cindere lla" basketba l l team winning the
Regionals, or the Ju nior Prom, or the spring trip, when we went "a-travel in'" to
Washing ton with thoughts of giving the Presiden t a little advice.
We surely had fun as "upper classmen ," and our class ranked high scholasticly too. Eleven Juniors were inducted into the National Honor Society and Kay
Bau man n and John Kruger received the Hi-Y Citizensh ip Award.
And then all too suddenly we were seniors. With a little more thought and
deliberat ion we looked over our classmate s and chose Dick Meyer, Lois Peterson,
Jim Saine, Marilyn Scheel, Frank Gutowsk y, Kay Baumann and Roger Otte as
our class officers, whi le a lot more of our friends were elected to head various
school activities_ Chuck King and Bob Merrill headed our class scholasticly.
During the fi rst few weeks of Septemb er we felt almost as confused as
freshmen . A new school program was put into effect and we had to get used
to a longer school day and more class pe riods_ But soon that was taken under
control and we worked out and put into effect a new Monitor system and had
the first al I Senior Class Trip.
Winter came and ushered in a string of parties, mountain s of homewor k,
hundreds of activities and loads of fun.
A new Student Council was proposed and its Constitut ion was ratified.
Then suddenly it was spring. Seniors began to look more alive, a little
more ,vibrant as if they were waiting for somethin g. And they were, graduatio
n
was approach ing.
Now there are only a few days left. Only a few days to look at Niles and
your friends and your teachers as only a student can_ Soon that magic word,
"Graduat ion," will have transform ed the common student into a man or woman
of the world.
We have many years ahead of us with which to build our own idea of
happines s and success.
We may travel in the light of success or the darkness of failure, but whereve r
our paths may lead, we will always remembe r our school and the class of '53_
�President and Message
We, the class of 1953, are happy to have completed
our past four years of academ ic requirements. Yet we regret
that our graduation marks the end of our association with
Nilehi.
Our school has meant more than the building, classrooms, and comfort of a place to learn. It has given us the
opportunity to participate in athletics, concerts, plays, water
carnivals and other extra curricular activities. The memories
of homecoming festivities, Christmas carols echoing through
the halls and the school dances will. remain dear to us.
The priceless friendships of students and members of
the faculty w il l be highly regarded in future years.
')11/e are indebted for the guidance given us by our
teachers, coaches, advisers, and our superintendent.
As we return to the campus in years to come, may
Niles Township High School be proud of the class of 1953.
"'" "'·
Above all let the true spirit of Nilehi endure through
life's victciries and defeats.

Junior Council
It certainly was fun com ing back to school in September,
knowing that we were " upper classman." It seemed funny
at first, to be rubbing elbows w ith the seniors, but that is
what we have been waiti ng for, for the past two years.
In September we elected our representatives to the
Junior Council and just a month later came that all-important
event of ordering our class rings. Before we knew it, spring
time rolled around, and in March we were off to New
Orleans. In June we again sponsored the annual Junior
Prom.
Now it is the end of ou r Junior year. In a few days the
sen iors wil l graduate, leaving the school in our hands. It's
a big job, being a senior, but we have had a lot of good
tutoring and experience. We certa inly hope we can make
our senior year as wonderful as the Graduates have made
theirs.

Sophomore Senate
This year the class of '55 emerged from a group of
bewildered "freshies" into confident, well informed sophomores.
We felt wonderful, coming back in September, knowing
1hat there would be a class below us- a class that would
be just as "green" as we were last year.
We chose our representatives to the Sophomore Senate
in September, and began to realize that another year added
But that extra year has
edded even more-our own football and basketball teams,
1n0re activities open to us, and even more opportunities to
1Jdvance scholasticly, athletically, and socially.
'a great deal more responsibility.
Now that we have almost completed our second year at
.Niles, we can say, with even more conviction than ever,
at we have a wonderful school and a wonderful class,
tnd we will work hard to keep up our good reputation.

IN MEMORY OF SHERWIN BROWNSTEIN
These words, written in memory of Sherwin Brownstein by a close friend of his, express, for the
entire student body, their deep feeling of friendship for the boy who was loved and admired by all,
" My Buddy"
This composition is written about one of the best guys I've ever known. He had a heart of gold,
and always tried to help some one out. This kid had one of the best personalities I've ever seen. Maybe
he wasn't the smartest kid, but he had real talent. He could talk anyone into anything. You could always
see him walk around school with his chest out, and his head high. He was a good natured guy, and was
always "Johnny on the spot" when you needed help.
Around school nobody knew much of his home life, but we were pretty close and I knew his parents
very well. He always respected his parents, and was very dose to his grandmother. I don't think there
was one student at Niles who didn't know Sherwin Brownstein, He was loved by everyone who ever
associated with him. And I'm sure his memory will stay in the hearts of the kids at Niles for a long time.
I can truthfully say he was really "My Buddy.''

Freshman Board
Well, here it is the end of our freshman year, and we've
hardly had a chance to catch our breath since September.
Who would have thought that our first year at Niles
could be so wonderful and exciting.
As soon as we settled into the routine of high school life,
we discovered the many activities that were waiting for
us. And you can be sure that we wasted no time in becoming active in them.
In September we chose our representatives to the Freshman Board of Advisers, saw our first football game, and
stared with awe at the female members of our class being
initiated into the G. A A
Now that our freshman year is almost over, we can look
back over past experiences and perhaps even forgive the
upper-classmen's practical jokes. (Say, maybe we can sell
our elevator passes to next year's "freshies.")
Seriously, we loved every minute of this, our first year
at Niles, and we know that we shall never forget it.

��Constitutional Committee
Nilehi organized its first Student Council this year. The class cabinets chose six people to plan and write the constitution for
the council. These people with Miss deBooy and Miss Green, spent many hours writing the constitution. They used the
"Handbook of Student Councils" as their guide.
When the constitution was finally finished it was presented to, and revised by the four classes. After amendments were
made, the entire school voted on ii and the constitution was adopted.
The people who worked on this first committee were: Standing, left lo right: Miss Margaret deBooy, sponsor, Don Jefferson, Bob Drake, Tim Sickinger. Seated, left to right: Barbara Berner, Kathlyn Clavey, Ronald Kruchten.
Student Council
Three seniors, members of the Senior Cabinet, saw Mr. Mason in regard to having a student council. Mr. Mason sent them
to Miss Green and Miss deBooy who arranged several meetings to discuss the problem. Next delegates were chosen by
each cabinet, 2 seniors, 2 juniors, 1 sophomore, and l freshman. These people worked with the sponsors and drew up a
tentali\le constitution which was then presented to the student body. After it was approved by t he students, all the
Cabinet members met with Miss Green and Miss deBooy and the delegates and discussed and amended the constitution.
It was then rewritten and presented to the entire school on February 26, 1953. Finally the students were ready 1o cast a
final vote for or against the Constitution and wlien this was done it wu immediately adopted. Then each homeroom elected
one member 1o serve on the student council. Tlieir job is 10 discuss various serious problems of the student body, discuss
them, vote on them and then send them for final approval to Mr. Mason.

�His Message
..
The future of any nation is dependent upon the
young people of that nation, and America is blessed
with having a group of young people who are equal
to the tasks which are ahead of them. Through four
years of high school we have provided you with
opportunities to work and study together; and with
situations where you could practice good-citizenship
and gain experience as the future leaders of your
community. Whether we have succeeded or failed
in these attempts can be read in the history of America tomorrow. We have no hesitancy in trusting that
future to you. We know that your training in the
basic fundamentals which have made our country
great has been good and we know that history will
bear out the high expectations which w;' have for
you.
JOSEPH A. MASON
�FACULTY
��Board of Education
To the Board of Education:
The class of 1953 wishes to
thank the Board for its untiring
efforts in making N.T.H.S. a school
of which we can be justly proud.
�The Board of Education of Niles Township Community
High School is justly proud of the school, the faculty and
the graduates.
From Colleges and Universities around the country
comes the very welcome message that our people do wel I
in competition with those from other High Schools. That
speaks well for our school and it's graduates, regardless of
whether they continue their education in College or go
directly to some job.
Congratulations and Best Wishes to the Class of 1953.

�SENIORS
��History of the Class of '5 3
Rememb er how you felt the first time you stepped into the new, unfamilia r
halls of Nilehi? Rememb er your first class and how foolish you felt when you
had to ask where to find a certain room? Rememb er the first pep assembly ? The
first game! The Homecom ing Snake Dance and the big ban-fire that followed
!
I know these are things I'll never forget. How about you?
Say, do you remembe r our class officers that year? They were Dave Hagenow ,
Jacquie Marshall , L Conners, Ginny Jacobson , Joyce Western, Frank Gutowsk y,
ois
and Dick Rosenber g.
We certainly had a lot of fun our freshman year, but time does move on
and soon we began the new fall term as sophomo res .
Mar le ne Milazzo, Joe Duenser, Lauralee Lammers feld, Carol Wolter, Leanne
Walrath, Louis Turcany and Carol Wise were elected our class represent atives,
and everyone settled down to another eventful year. Rememb er that year's highlights? There were the first Reflection s in two years, football and basketba ll games
with o ur own class represen ted, first Homecom ing Parade, and many more things
that should bring back memorie s.
In the fall of '5 1 we elected our represent atives to the Junior Council. They
were: Carol Cox, Ray Kittredge , Diane Von Eitzen, Bil l Below, Jerry Weissbur g,
Marv Farwell a nd Caroline Puechner .
This was rea ll y an eventful year. The Code of Ethics was adopted and we
chose a new school crest which symboliz ed the ideals expresse d in the Code.
And how many students can forget our "Cindere lla" basketba l l team winning the
Regionals, or the Ju nior Prom, or the spring trip, when we went "a-travel in'" to
Washing ton with thoughts of giving the Presiden t a little advice.
We surely had fun as "upper classmen ," and our class ranked high scholasticly too. Eleven Juniors were inducted into the National Honor Society and Kay
Bau man n and John Kruger received the Hi-Y Citizensh ip Award.
And then all too suddenly we were seniors. With a little more thought and
deliberat ion we looked over our classmate s and chose Dick Meyer, Lois Peterson,
Jim Saine, Marilyn Scheel, Frank Gutowsk y, Kay Baumann and Roger Otte as
our class officers, whi le a lot more of our friends were elected to head various
school activities_ Chuck King and Bob Merrill headed our class scholasticly.
During the fi rst few weeks of Septemb er we felt almost as confused as
freshmen . A new school program was put into effect and we had to get used
to a longer school day and more class pe riods_ But soon that was taken under
control and we worked out and put into effect a new Monitor system and had
the first al I Senior Class Trip.
Winter came and ushered in a string of parties, mountain s of homewor k,
hundreds of activities and loads of fun.
A new Student Council was proposed and its Constitut ion was ratified.
Then suddenly it was spring. Seniors began to look more alive, a little
more ,vibrant as if they were waiting for somethin g. And they were, graduatio
n
was approach ing.
Now there are only a few days left. Only a few days to look at Niles and
your friends and your teachers as only a student can_ Soon that magic word,
"Graduat ion," will have transform ed the common student into a man or woman
of the world.
We have many years ahead of us with which to build our own idea of
happines s and success.
We may travel in the light of success or the darkness of failure, but whereve r
our paths may lead, we will always remembe r our school and the class of '53_
�President and Message
We, the class of 1953, are happy to have completed
our past four years of academ ic requirements. Yet we regret
that our graduation marks the end of our association with
Nilehi.
Our school has meant more than the building, classrooms, and comfort of a place to learn. It has given us the
opportunity to participate in athletics, concerts, plays, water
carnivals and other extra curricular activities. The memories
of homecoming festivities, Christmas carols echoing through
the halls and the school dances will. remain dear to us.
The priceless friendships of students and members of
the faculty w il l be highly regarded in future years.
')11/e are indebted for the guidance given us by our
teachers, coaches, advisers, and our superintendent.
As we return to the campus in years to come, may
Niles Township High School be proud of the class of 1953.

Above all let the true spirit of Nilehi endure through
life's victciries and defeats.

Junior Council
It certainly was fun com ing back to school in September,
knowing that we were " upper classman." It seemed funny
at first, to be rubbing elbows w ith the seniors, but that is
what we have been waiti ng for, for the past two years.
In September we elected our representatives to the
Junior Council and just a month later came that all-important
event of ordering our class rings. Before we knew it, spring
time rolled around, and in March we were off to New
Orleans. In June we again sponsored the annual Junior
Prom.
Now it is the end of ou r Junior year. In a few days the
sen iors wil l graduate, leaving the school in our hands. It's
a big job, being a senior, but we have had a lot of good
tutoring and experience. We certa inly hope we can make
our senior year as wonderful as the Graduates have made
theirs.

Sophomore Senate
This year the class of '55 emerged from a group of
bewildered "freshies" into confident, well informed sophomores.
We felt wonderful, coming back in September, knowing
1hat there would be a class below us- a class that would
be just as "green" as we were last year.
We chose our representatives to the Sophomore Senate
in September, and began to realize that another year added
But that extra year has
edded even more-our own football and basketball teams,
1n0re activities open to us, and even more opportunities to
1Jdvance scholasticly, athletically, and socially.
'a great deal more responsibility.
Now that we have almost completed our second year at
.Niles, we can say, with even more conviction than ever,
at we have a wonderful school and a wonderful class,
tnd we will work hard to keep up our good reputation.

IN MEMORY OF SHERWIN BROWNSTEIN
These words, written in memory of Sherwin Brownstein by a close friend of his, express, for the
entire student body, their deep feeling of friendship for the boy who was loved and admired by all,
" My Buddy"
This composition is written about one of the best guys I've ever known. He had a heart of gold,
and always tried to help some one out. This kid had one of the best personalities I've ever seen. Maybe
he wasn't the smartest kid, but he had real talent. He could talk anyone into anything. You could always
see him walk around school with his chest out, and his head high. He was a good natured guy, and was
always "Johnny on the spot" when you needed help.
Around school nobody knew much of his home life, but we were pretty close and I knew his parents
very well. He always respected his parents, and was very dose to his grandmother. I don't think there
was one student at Niles who didn't know Sherwin Brownstein, He was loved by everyone who ever
associated with him. And I'm sure his memory will stay in the hearts of the kids at Niles for a long time.
I can truthfully say he was really "My Buddy.''

Freshman Board
Well, here it is the end of our freshman year, and we've
hardly had a chance to catch our breath since September.
Who would have thought that our first year at Niles
could be so wonderful and exciting.
As soon as we settled into the routine of high school life,
we discovered the many activities that were waiting for
us. And you can be sure that we wasted no time in becoming active in them.
In September we chose our representatives to the Freshman Board of Advisers, saw our first football game, and
stared with awe at the female members of our class being
initiated into the G. A A
Now that our freshman year is almost over, we can look
back over past experiences and perhaps even forgive the
upper-classmen's practical jokes. (Say, maybe we can sell
our elevator passes to next year's "freshies.")
Seriously, we loved every minute of this, our first year
at Niles, and we know that we shall never forget it.

That's Cornelia Otis Skinner speaking, but it isn't
the opening night she
can't stand, it's the many
friends and admirers she
seems to have acquired
suddenly.
Seeds of suspicion were sown quite liberally in the one act
play of the same name. Tension ran high until the final scene
revealed the real murderer.
�Spot/ighters

sponsoring the Valentine's dance, and ending the year with the
impressive initiation of new members.

well, as we all know,
everything turned out
just fine.
It looks as if there is
some disagreement be·
tween Carolyn Jenks and
Dick Pick in this scene.
Could it be because
daughter has gone and
gotten herself engaged
to
"a
man
we
don't
even know?"
"There's a lot more to putting on a play tnan acting," is what
this group of hard working students will te ll you. Props have to
be set, lights fixed, and everything has to be put in read iness
for a real hit.

��Constitutional Committee
Nilehi organized its first Student Council this year. The class cabinets chose six people to plan and write the constitution for
the council. These people with Miss deBooy and Miss Green, spent many hours writing the constitution. They used the
"Handbook of Student Councils" as their guide.
When the constitution was finally finished it was presented to, and revised by the four classes. After amendments were
made, the entire school voted on ii and the constitution was adopted.
The people who worked on this first committee were: Standing, left lo right: Miss Margaret deBooy, sponsor, Don Jefferson, Bob Drake, Tim Sickinger. Seated, left to right: Barbara Berner, Kathlyn Clavey, Ronald Kruchten.
Student Council
Three seniors, members of the Senior Cabinet, saw Mr. Mason in regard to having a student council. Mr. Mason sent them
to Miss Green and Miss deBooy who arranged several meetings to discuss the problem. Next delegates were chosen by
each cabinet, 2 seniors, 2 juniors, 1 sophomore, and l freshman. These people worked with the sponsors and drew up a
tentali\le constitution which was then presented to the student body. After it was approved by t he students, all the
Cabinet members met with Miss Green and Miss deBooy and the delegates and discussed and amended the constitution.
It was then rewritten and presented to the entire school on February 26, 1953. Finally the students were ready 1o cast a
final vote for or against the Constitution and wlien this was done it wu immediately adopted. Then each homeroom elected
one member 1o serve on the student council. Tlieir job is 10 discuss various serious problems of the student body, discuss
them, vote on them and then send them for final approval to Mr. Mason.

�A MESSAGE TO THE GRADUATES
WILLIAM WARREN MEYER
Skokie, lll:nois
Our community, state, and nation require for full development
a balance of scientific, cultural and religious elements. These ore
to be found in the individual; and to the extent that he has attained
this balance of knowledge and experience, so will he be able to
guide the destiny of his family and community.
It is hoped that Niles Township High School has supplemented
the training of home and church so that each of you has acquired
the balance of experience so necessary for your happiness and
prosperity.
Wm. W. Meyer

��TO THE
GRADUATES
You are leaving the ivy covered halls
of Niles to enter on atomic age, on age
where man's expanding frontiers of knowledge hove given us an ever shrinking world.
This is a world where the advent of
speeds faster than that of sound hos put
the other side of the world less than twentyfour hours away.
We have tried to give you knowledge
of the technology which made these advances possible, but more than that we hope
we have given you an insight into how to
exist and get along not only with your
classmates, but with all the people on this
world of ours.
As you understand people
and as you work with people for the liberties
and freedom of the individual, you give the
best evidence of what America's system of
public education means to the future and
to the world.

�MISS HARBERT .
During the many years Miss Horbert taught at Nilehi, she was loved and adrT'i'ed by both students and fellow teachers.
Our effcient monitor system, the Sen io r Dance, the Annual Spring trips, and the
See Chicago Club are only a few of her far-reaching achievements at Niles Township
High School.
We have all benefited from her faithful service, and we will never forget the
sm'le with which she always greeted us.
Although she has retired, Miss Harbert will always be a part of Niles Township
High School to which she gave so much.

��CLASS PRESIDENT
Graduation, the hour that we, the CLASS OF 1954, have looked forward to
for four years, is upon us.
Although we look ahead to the future with eagerness, we a lso feel a little sad
at leaving the famil ia r ha lls of Niles Township High School. Here we have been given
the foundation for our future successes, mode lifelong friendships, and shored many
wonderful times together.
This is another milestone on life's path, and, as we go our separate ways, we
wil l never forget the .faculty who guided us through these four years .
We, the CLASS OF 1954, will carry the memory of Niles Township High School
forever in o ur hea rts.

JUN IOR CABINET
Final ly, as juniors, we have entered the coveted position of upperclassmen . With
this position we have gained many new responsibilit:es which we hope have rested well
on our now b rooder shoulders.
The class r ings we ordered in the foll arrived in January, and we were all
thrilled with such a bea utiful token of Nilehi.
Spring vacation came, bringing our first opportunity to go on a lo ng school trip.
Never will those days in Wash ington be forgotten.
As the school year was drawing to a close, Prom time neared, and we were
able to e njoy "the perfect dance" we'd been planning for so long.
It seems a lmost unbelievab le that next year will be our lost. It will be d ifficult
to fil l the place left by this year's graduates, but we wi ll try to live up to their stondmds
for a greater Niles Township High School.

�I N MEMORIAM
ARLENE MERZ
In September of this year, N ilehi lost a citizen. Although Arlene's life was short,
she hod attained those qualities for which we all strive: enthusiasm, devotion to ideals,
a lave of the outdoors and o spirit of leadership. She had physical vitality and spiritual
w holesomeness.
Arlene's great enthusiasm for sport and leadership made her an active member
of the Girls' Athletic Association. In her honor and memory, her many friends in that
organization have established a new scholarship to be called the Arlene M. Merz
Memorial Scholarship.

SOPHOMORE CABINET
This foll saw quite a transformation in the class of '56. No longer were we the
frightened freshies, but now the sophisticated sophs.
We have really begun to enjoy Niles at its best and can more r€adily appreciate
its many facets. We have taken advantage of the increased opportunities offered to us
and hope we have given a little of ourselves in return.
This year we have realized more fully the responsibilities of school citizenship.
In trying to carry through our ideals, we have worked sincerely to solve the problems
which came our way, cooperating with the Student Council.
Next year we'll be upperclassmen. Sounds great, doesn't it?

FRESHMAN CABINET
Here it is almost the last day of school and most of us still haven't quite recovered
from that bewildering first day. We're sure that it is a day which will always be vivid in
our memories as will be our entire freshman year at Niles.
For it hos been a year full of laughter, excitement, new activities, and even a
little sadness here and there .
We've learned to work together not only within our class, but with the entire
school, through the Student Council.
Along with the work, there's been fun, more fun than we imagined possible.
There aren't any words to explain what a great feeling came over us at each of our
many "firsts" this year: our first pep-rally, game, Homecoming, Christmas Vespers, Reflections Revelry, and on through the whole marvelous year.
No matter how much we look forward to being sophomores next fall, we'll keep
looking bock at our unforgettable freshman year at Niles Township High School.

��REFLECTIONS
��DIARY
Tuesday, September 15 - Whoever invented alarm
clocks should be shot! The first day of school put an end
to lazy days at the beach, but it was the beginning of
another great year ot Nilehi.
Friday, September 18 - We tackled Amundsen for
our first football game of the season, and everyone was
in the best of spirits.
Thursday, October 15 - At the Code Assembly we
all became a little thoughtful, and realized just how much
our Code means to us. Nilehi has given us a lot, and in
return we want to make the Code come alive through
our actions.
Saturday, November 7 - We were all tired aft~r
putting the fir'lishing touches on our Homecoming floats,
but the excitement of the day soon revived us. After the
parade, we cheered our hearts out for our team, which is
always the greatest, win, lose, or tie. A perfect evening at
the Half-Time Hop climaxed a wonderful day.
Friday and Saturday, November 20 and 21 - .Nancy
and Ned Nilehi found all the trials and tribulations of a
teenager in the foll play, "Corliss Archer".
Wednesday, November 25 - At the opening basketball game against Leyden, we all went wild. "Go you,
Nilehi. Fight! Fight! Fightl"
Friday, November 27 - What's there to say about
Thanksgiving Vacation except . . . Ooh, those turkeys!
Saturday, December 5 - The Christmas dance, Artistry
in Snow, was the portra it of a fabulous evening. Frosty
greeted us with a smile that was surprisingly warm for o
snowman.
Sunday, December 13 - Christmas Vespers gave us
all that certain good feeling that accompanies the Yuletide
season. We left with the sparkle of snowflakes in our eyes,
and the light of the Christmas Star in our hearts.
Monday, December 21 - Although we had planned
to spend the first day of Christmas Vacation sleeping, a
little matter of Christmas shopping intervened. We really
hustled to find that special present for someone.
Monday, January 4 - Time marches on . . . but on
that first day back to school, we all thought it hod marched
away with our vacation a little too quickly.
���DIARY
Wednesday and Thursday, January 27 and 28 Final Exams. No comment!
Thursday, January 28 - The annual Faculty - N Club
game revealed the hidden "talents" of many of our teach-·
ers. But honestly, how could any teacher refuse poor
agonized "Terrible Tommy" Hoffman the washroom pass
that he wanted!
Friday, February 12 - We love you, Honest Abe .
Your birthday gave us a three day weekend.
Saturday, February 28 - Reflections Revelry once
again brought forth a lot of Nilehi talent. Very nice prizes
were given, but each prize should have been accompanied
by one of the Sultan's harem girls, although he would
probably have been reluctant to give them up.
Tuesday, March 2 - We beat Highland Park in the
first game of the Regional Basketball Tournament. They
had to hold the roof on Cooley's!
Wednesday, March
3 - Although our second Regional
game was lost to Waukegan, we took the loss in our str ide
and won someth ing really fine ... a greater pride in our
school and its tremendous spirit.
Saturday, March 13 - It may be sleepytime down
South, but there was nothing sleepy about this year' s
Senior dance, The Cotton Cotillion.
Friday and Saturday, April 9 and 10 - A symphony
in water was the Water Show; the theme of which was
Swimphony. There were musical routines for every taste:
tangos, waltzes, ballads, and (be bop a do dee, re bop!)
JAZZ.
Monday, April 12 - In the Spring o young Nilehier's
fancy turns to VACATION!
Tuesday, April 20 - Life has dealt another cruel blow!
We returned to school today.
Saturday, April 24 - They say that Leap Year comes
only every fourth year, but at Nilehi it' s Leap Year each
spring at the Turnabout Dance. Has anyone got an eggplant so that I can finish making this vegetable corsage?
Friday and Saturday, May 14 and 15 - Everyone
attended the spring ploy lo find out what "The Curious
Savage" was so curious about.
·
Saturday, June 5 - Mr. Webster will hove to invent
some new superlatives to describe The Junior Prom .
Thursday, June 17 - Commencement brought mixec.l
emotions to the graduating class. It was hard to believe
that our four great years al Nilehi were all behind us now.
After the ceremony, we alternately smiled and cried with

Since 1935, the population of Niles Township has grown from approximately 11,000 people to the present 45,000 What was once miles of hayfields
i<> now an area of new homes, industries, and shopping centers. A small,
quiet, rural trade center which has developed into a suburban community
offering unlimited opportunities to us, its youth - this is Niles Township!

in 1937, when ground was broken for a new
high school for Niles Township, few present
foresaw that the school would expand to include two new wings. At the time the doors
of the school first opened, citizens of the township doubted that the many rooms would ever
be put to use. Today, however, not only is
every room in the school occupied every hour
of the day, but the cafeteria and library are
used as study halls_
The wmg opened for use last fall, the first of
two planned additions on the present site, provides us, the students of Nilehi, with the most
modern facilities and equipment for applying
the theory gained through textbooks. Girls enrolled in the home economics courses no longer
hnd themselves ' slaving over a hot stove" or
struggling with old-fashioned sewing machines
as their mothers once did. The latest equipment, mcluding a new valve grinding machine,
metal lathe, and a camera for offset printing
are available to those who have classes in the
auto shop, metal shop, and print shop.
Beca\lse of the ever rising enrollment, however, this wing is but the first step in a long
range building program. The third floor of this
addition, which will include classrooms and a
study hall to be ready for occupancy in September, 1955, was begun ni December. In the
spring o! this year, contracts were let for a
winq to extend north and east, which will provide facilities for print shop, wood shop, electnc shop, mechanical drawing, social studies,
and bu~iness education classes.
Since the completion of these two additions
will provide for only 2,000 students and since
the enrollment is expected to reach 1,900 by
next fall, even these facilities will be inadequate. Therefore, the next step in our school's
expansion program will be a new high-school
building for Niles Township.
Steel beams, cement bloc!<s,
and construction equipment
are a familiar sight as the
school builds to provide for its
increasing enrollment.

f 11 6, 600 81ulenls by 1962
And still they come ...
Our school, which has grown from a student body of 450 in 1937
lo its present total of 1,500 students, expects to enroll 1,900 by next
fall. Dr. Claude Reavis of the University of Chicago, in a study undertaken for the elementary schools as well as the high school, predicts
an enrollment of 5,300 to 6,600 by J962 on the basis of children already
in the district.
In seven years, then, Niles will move from its position as the second smallest suburban league high school to that of the largest.
Returning graduates of the next four years, seeing the masses of
students and the new buildings, will feel "you can't go home again."
And yet, for all the physical changes, some things will always be the
same - the crowd discussing weekend plans at the locker, the mad
dash to class before the five-minute bell, and the rush to after-school
meetings, all of which add to the excitement in the air. Above all, the
same friendly "hi" will s till be hec:rd throughout the halls.

OFFER GUIDANCE
AND INSTRUCTION
Despite the pressures of our ever increasing student body, Dr. Mason and our teachers strive to
meet the needs of each of us. Conferences between
our homeroom teachers and parents provide opportunities for educational, vocational, and personal
guidance to help us and our families better understand our abilities and interests.
The varied curriculum provides opportunities for
the development of these different abilities and interests. Variety of subject offerings, however, is not
allowed to substitute for the basic learnings approved by tradition; consequently, of the thirty-two
required credits, sixteen must be gained in the
fields of English, science, mathematics, and history
Furthermore, our choice of electives is so planned
that, on the completion of four year's work, our
knowledge and skills will have been developed in a
pattern suitable to our abilities and post-graduate
plans.
To achieve these educational goals, the faculty
has expanded to keep pace with the increasing
number of students. Of the seventy-five members of
the staff, fifteen were hired this year, six as replacements and nine as additions, thereby injecting new
ideas and vitality into the life stream of the school.
This, then, is Nilehi--0 school changing, growing
in its student body, faculty, and physical plant, yet
remaining constant to its ideal of helping each of us
build the best possible life for tomorrow!

Plan ft lie Julute . , ,
The people of our township express their will concerning the school through a seven-man Board of
Education. These men, whose integrity and good
judgment is respected by the entire community,
advise without dictating and direct without dominating in the formation and execution of policies
concerning our school.
The present board, which has expanded from four
to seven members, faces the problem of reconciling
the cost of more space for the increasing enrollment
to the financial ability of the conmunity. In June
the people will be asked to express their approval
of another high school by voting the funds necessary for such a program.

The Parent-Teacher Association,
which meets the third Thursday
of each month, brings our parents
into closer contact with school activities and teachers. This year
for the first time a monthly paper,
the Nile-A-Gram, was sent to all
parents to keep them informed
not only of programs for the
monthly meeting, but also of future school events and general
facts of interest
Selling refreshments at football
games, entertaining faculty families and school board members
at a buffet dinner were social activities organized this year under
the direction of Mrs. Weissburg,
president. For the first time since
its organization in 1951, the P.T.A.
gave a farewell party for the parents of graduates.
This year a Booster Club was
organized to increase attendance
at athletic events and give support to the players. The Boosters
have also taken over the custom
of serving refreshments for football and basketball players ofter
the games.
P.T.A. officers for 1954-55 are
Mr. K. Stevens, first vice-president in charge of programs;
Mrs. A. Bolt, second vice-president in charge of the P.T.A.
newspaper, the Nile-A-Gram,
Mrs. R. White, corresponding
secretary; Mrs. A. Weissburg,
president; Mrs. D. Ames, recording secretary, and Mrs. H.
Walters, treasurer

Our advisers are very important people with the authority
and responsibilities of an assistant principal Pink passes,
temporary admits, worthy-inadvance absences, help with
our class activities, curricular
and otherwise, a shoulder to
weep on when we need it, and
strong words of advice when
we're banished from class are
all to be had in those offices at
the end of the first floor!
Besides making life smoother
for us, the advisers act as leaders of the homeroom teachers
of their class assignment, belong to the administrative council, and represent the school in
all matters of concern to parents.
Harold Ohlson, senior adviser, confers with students in regard to postgraduate plans. College-bound seniors are given the opportunity to interview representatives of various
colleges while career interested students talk to representatives of different industries.
Dr Arthur Ryden, junior adviser,
concentrates on the personality and
social development of the students.
Blanche Suchy, our school nurse, besides keeping an eye
on the health of Nilehi students, supervises the annual X-ray
program and 1s in charge of the sight and hearing tests.
Have you ever tried to keep track of 20,000 books? Well,
that's the job of Mary Walker, librarian.
Walter Duda, visiting counselor, is concerned with the needs
of individi.;ol students. Whether the problems are school
home, or social in nature, Mr Duda helps us find en answer
Marvin lhne and Marjorie Schwab,
sophomore advisers, are particularly
interested in strengthening the "holding power" of the school

English studies help us to achieve the highest
development of our individual personality. We
deepen our understanding of ourselves and
others and of the world of today and yesterday
through an analysis of the great ideas of literature. We become more aware of the beauty and
power of language as a tool for communicating
our thoughts to others more vividly and accurately. Reading, speech, writing-the improvement
of skills in these areas makes each of us, personally, more interesting, charming, and effectual and
so, more successful in our relationships with
others.

Mathematics is the language of quantitative thinking. The geometric beauty of every snowflake that
falls is witness of its art. By skillful use of the symbols and techniques of mathematics, we solve the
problems of labor, industry, and science. When
these symbols and techniques become cumbersome
and inadequate, man devises another mathematics
as he discovers more of the mysteries of the universe about him.
In this complex world, a knowledge of mathematics is essential to work out the tough problems
of science, to produce new and wonderful materials,
to design new machines for industry. We need math
for such occupations as tool and die makers, draftsmen, machinists, and airplane pilots. Even those of
us who do not need mathematics for our business
life find it a great help in solving the problems of
everyday Jiving because it develops in us the power
to think logically and accurately.

We learn that it is our responsibility to maintain Nilehi's traditions and good reputation.
We become acquainted with our community,

many. We study the state and federal government and trace the development of our country with its heritage of freedom and equal

Since we live so near the great industrial
center of Chicago with its job opportunities,
our business-education department strives to
develop vocational competency in bookkeeping, shorthand, typing, and office procedures.
These specific skills, however, are only part
of our over-all development. We learn, also,
general business information that we will need
not only as workers but as consumers in our
modern economic system. From this study we
acqmre a better understanding of our relationship to our modern economic society.

Future homemakers receive training today
at Niles in well-equipped laboratories comparable to the most modern homes. A broad program for family living is offered to those of us
who are looking forward to establishing homes
of our own.
In the home-economics department ,empha
sis is placed on the provision of food for the
family. We learn the vanous aspects of planning, buying, preparation, serving, conserva ·
tion, and storage in six kitchen units provided
with the latest equipment. A beautiful living
di!1ing area is used to give expenence in entertaining so that even the shyest girls become
gracious hostesses.
In clothing, problems of selection, care, construction, assernblmg accessories, and wearing
an ensemble are a vital part of our program.
The clothing loboratory, with its late model
sewing machines, triple-mirrored fitting room,
attractive social area, and large show cases,
provides the ideal setting for learning.
Homemaking, with its emphasis on selecting
furnishings and equipment for the home to·

Industrial education courses at Nilehi include
industrial arts laboratories, unit shops, and cooperative vocational training, which provide us
an opportunity for comprehensive development in both general, non-specialized, and specialized education.
We are being trained for living in a democratic society. We are developing desirable
attitudes, acquiring knowledges, developing
mental and manipulative skills, and preparing
for advantageous entrance into many fields of
work. We believe that the achievement of
these objectives is an essential part of our
learning to make adjustments to life and contributions to the society in which we live

Through the study of the fine arts, we gain
in our ability to express ourselves in art, music,
and drama. By developing our interests and
talents we are prepared to make more satisfying and worthwhile use of our leisure time.
Working together in music and drama, we
experience a feeling of unity and group accomplishment which develops an insight into
human reactions and relationships
Furthermore, through the study of art, music,
and drama, we increase our ability to understand, judge. and appreciate the culture of
society, past and present. native and foreign
In this day of international crisis, we believe
that the music, drama, and art of a country
reveal the way of life of its people as no other
media do. Such an insight on a global scale
is one road toward that closer fellowship between the peoples of the world upon which our
fut ure civilization depends.

A challenge is offered to the students of foreign language the challenge of discovering
an entuely new country and ib peoµle. A
study of the romance, culture and customs of
a foreign people promotes a deeper under
standing and tolerance between races.
Through our language study we are given
the satisfaction of being prepared to read, in
the original. the writings of great men of other
nations. We find that ' we are there" in Spain,
France, Germany, or ancient Rome discovering for ourselves the events of time past or
places far away
Fu1 thermore, the pleasure of travel is heiqhtened by the ability to speak a foreign lan
guaqe and by the kncwledge of the culture of
a race. This year, for the first time, students of
Spanish 1ourneyed to Mexico City during
spring vacation where they improved their accents by conversation with the natives

In our physical education classes we coordinate mind and body . He re we deve lop the
physical strength required to ke ep our bodies
functioning properly. Time spent in tumbling,
apparatus work, and exercises accomplishes
this.
Besides developing our bodies, individual
and team sports such as tennis, archery, badminton, swimming, basketball, volleyball, softball, touch football, soccer, and field hockey
are learned so that we can enioy our recreational hours. Dance in its varied forms increases our poise.
Through competing cooperatively, we learn
the importance of the individual as a member
of a team. Sportsmanship is stressed and leadership opportunities are provided.

Fiaht o'clock and the bell rinas .. the clocks are
wrong again! We make a mad dash through the
halls (knocking every third person on the floor). and
finally reach our destination homeroom. Crawling
to our seats, we make futile attempts to avoid a detention. The P.A. whispers something after a xylophone solo and closes with an encore. We try to do
some homework but never get much done because
we spend the whole ten minutes worrying about all
we have to do before second period.
Between classes we run the four-minute mile with
a minute to recuperate, and then another course
commences. After the usual "Calm down!", "The
bell rang", and "Quiet", we begin working--or at
least stop talking.
Around fourth period, every time we talk we get
an answer from our stomachs. Lunch time zooms
by , . we sometimes have time to eat! The day
drags on . .. 'Memorize fifty lines of Shakespeare"
- ' Test tomorrow!" .. "Read the next twenty
pages.
. . Do this . . . Do that
Finally, the day over (unless we have a detention), we rush to comb our hair for the first time
since 8: 10. And then, time on our hands . . . until
tomorrow!

last year fur collars, this year boys turned to saddles, while last year the lad was white bucks. Although this year brought new fads, new faces, new
teachers, and a new building, still some things are
always the same. The frantic rush to finish up a

First of the big events of the year was Homecoming, held this year on October 16. Though the wind
cut our faces and numbed our fingers, it was fun
riding in the morning parade through Skokie. Here
at last were the pink elephant and the giant panda
we thought would never be finished on time. Last
minute raids on the local stores for more chicken
wire, crepe paper, and paper napkins had been
successful.
Afternoon found us huddling together under heavy
blankets in the football stands, drinking steaming
coffee as we watched our Trojans battle the Morton
Mustangs. Though we were defeated, our loss didn't
smother the day's excitement
Pausing between dances, couples attending the "Huddle

The expressions on the faces
of the team members and
coaches reveal the outcome of
the Homecoming game with
Morton.
Our Homecoming day was brought to a climax by
the ·Huddle Up," our Homecoming dance. Sponsored by the Senior Class, the dance, with its huge
mirrored football rotating in the center of the floor,
was a success. All too soon the orchestra played
'Goodnight Sweetheart," and Homecoming '54 was
just another memory.

Football uniforms W£re packed away, Thanksgiving had come and gone, and
:;uddenly we found ou:selves humming "White Christmas." The first Yuletime
event of the season, Christmas Vespers, helped put us into the Christmas spirit.
On Sunday afternoon, December 12, all the choral groups combined to present
thi:; impressive music program for both the students and community. Meanwhile,
the juniors had transformed the halls into a Christmas wonderland. All thoughts
ol studyi:1g were abandoned on the last day before vacation as classroom doors
were opened to the mi.;sic ol the carolers in the halls. At the end of the day,
homerooms became the scene ol grab bags, refreshments, and singing. Christmas
vacation had come at last, highlighted by "Mistletoe Magic," the annual Christmas dance. When the clock struck twelYe. we rushed to our cars with "Merry
Christmas" ringing thro;.igh the cold night air Then came vacation, parties, last

Reflections Revelries, our annual all-school talent
show, revealed a new side of many of our friends.
We found that there's a little "ham" in all of us as
we got our acts together, auditioned, and were finally accepted. Then came the big night and amid the
bright lights, costumes, and grease paint we discovered our own stage fright. However, although we
may have had our doubts and fears during those
long night rehearsals, they were soon forgotten as
the curtain rose on a smash hit.

The event that climcxed four years of hard work, fun, and
excitement was graduation. Until the last few months of our
senior year, everyone was counting the days. This attitude
changed completely, however, during those last days when
graduation was becoming a reality.
With the arrival of the long-awaited_ night came tenseness
and excitement. As we marched up to the platform, we caught
glimpses of our family and friends watching us with pride
Feeling strangely dignified in our blue and white caps and
gowns, we accepted the diploma we had looked forward to
for so long and shook hands with Dr. Mason. As we glanced
around at all our classmates, we knew this would be the last
time we'd all be together as a class. Some of us would be
going to college in the fall while others would be continuing
summer jobs and takmg new positions. Still others would be
looking forward to marriage. With mixed emotions we realized
our high-school days had come to an end and that we were
leaving Niles Township High School to take new and unfamiliar places in our community.

after we've forgotten what happened in 1066, or
what x equals, we'll remember the hours spent in
rewriting yearbook copy; the excitement of opening
night for "My Three Angels"; the last minute rush to

the National Honor Society.
Fifty different organizations provide varied activities to suit each of us. Working together, we learn

become leaders.

�Working with the dummy of
the 1955 Reflections, editors
Barb Discher! and Judy Coleman select pictures for the
opening pages.
•
The thought and idea for this year's Reflections goes
back to March, l 9S4. At that time the staff of 'SS was
selected and the theme of growth was decided upon to
tie the yearbook in with the tremendous expansion of
the school.
In September under the guidance of the sponsor Mrs.
Mary Ida McGuire, the actual production of the book was
started. The Yearbook Finance Staff, supervised by Mr.
Ronald Van Arsdale, took over our money problems by
handling the Magazine Drive, proceeds from which
helped to pay for the book. Because of the increasing
number of students, the General Staff decided to have a
larger book than in previous years. The cover was designed, student pictures and classroom shots were taken,
page makeup was planned, and copy and headlines
were written. Each staff member became responsible for
a different section of the book. Meanwhile, the Senior
Section Staff, under Mrs. Lucille Barnes, took charge of
the senior portraits.
As the April 1 deadline approached, Room 222 became filled with feverish activity every SA period. Copy
was re-written and editors "burned the midnight oil" as
last-minute copy and pictures were turned in. After spring
vacation final page proofs were corrected and work on
the book was completed.
A long-awaited moment arrived when we caught our
first glimpse of the completed book at the Reflections Staff
dinner held a few days before the book was released to
the students.

Whether on the football field or the basketball court,
the Varsity Band, under the direction of Mr. L. Provost is
on hand to cheer on the team and the crowd. Often
assisted by the twirlers, whose original routines add
much to the show, the band also plays at school assemblies, civic functions, parades, and the annual Spring
Concert. In addition to the traditional marches, the band
plays a wide range of music from classical to iazz. The
Cadet Band, an intermediate group, gives its members
additional practice and experience until they are ready
to move up into the Varsity Band.

Music £ills the air around Room 110 and, in early
October, when the choral groups begin to practice
for Christmas Vespers, strains of "Winter WonderJand" drift into the open windows of study halls to
set students dreaming of holidays to come. Steady
and conscientious practice of "do re mi fa," repeated
plugging away at various parts, and constant emphasis on strict timing fmally result in the never-lobe-forgotten thrill of a beautiful song well done. No
student who has ever experienced this will soon
forget this feeling of satisfaction.
"No music without fun, and no fun without music" is the principle of the music department at
Nilehi. At the same time, students and directors
strive for the goal of that finished performar:ce which
will be acclaimed by the thundering applause of the
audience. Besides the presentations of ccncerts in
March, the music department is well known for the
elaborate Christmas Vespers and the May Festival.
There is no memory of Christmas more iopressive
than that of the entire music department, accompanied by the orchestra, singing Handel's magnifi
cent 'Messiah."

Before these final words are spoken, however, a
great many hours have been put· in. There are sets
to be made by the stage crew, costumes and props
to be borrowed, bought, or made, make-up to be
c:pphed, and above all, weeks of hard work and
rehearsal. The fall 6nd spring productions this year
were two Broadway. hits, 'Goodbye My Fancy" and
"My Three Angels." Besides two major plays, the
drama department ; also presents several one-act
plays, puts on skits for pep assemblies, a:-id entertains at P.T.A. and other club functions.
The drama department sponsors two large
groups at Nilehi, thy Spotlighters and Thespians. A
student starts out as' a Spotlighter, and when he had
earned ten points, the equivalent of one hundred
hours of work, he is eligible to become a fu.1-fled ged
Trespian. From there, he may advance to even highe r honors by earning additional points and receiving awards for these points. The combination of
Miss Stemp's fine direction and the hard work of
both Spotlighters and Thespians provides continually better plays at Nilehi.

Niles Hi-Y is more than just a club to its members: 1t provides a chance
at clean fun, athletic competition. and spiritual fellowship to those who belong.
In the eight years since it was organized under the leadership of Mr. George
Roth, Hi-Y has grown in size from the membership of seven to one of over one
hundred. Hi-Y is affiliated with the Evanston Y.M.C.A., but a boy does not
need to be a member of the "Y" to join. Hi-Y sponsors many annual activities
such as the Junior Citizenship Award, won last year by Fred Melberg and
Anna Otiepka. and a scholarship for an outstanding senior. The winner last
year was Rosemary DiGilio. The club was also instrumental in starting the
Homecoming Parade at Niles. Membership is open to any sophomore, junior,
or senior boy.

�Tri-Hi-Y, our junior-senior girls' club affiliated with the Evanston "Y,"
boast a membership of over a hundred in 1954-55 Through the efforts of TriHi-Y, 68 orphans from St. Hedwig's Orphanage were treated to Christmas and
Easter parties; ' Smile Week" was introduced; and the "Hardly Hop," an allschool dance, was held. Mrs. Rita Gauer became the new sponsor this year
The Fros:i-Soph Girls' Club was organized in September, with Miss Janet
Loranger as sponsor, because of the need for a group similar to Tri-Hi-Y on
an underclass level. The main ob1ective of the club is to promote social and
charitable activities.

As parents nearly burst with pride, 48 selected
juniors and seniors file onto the stage to receive
their certificates, roses, and pins. Holding out their
burning candles, they recite the pledge, and are
officially made members of the National Honor Society-the greatest honor that can come to any high
school student. But the ceremony itself is merely a
climax to years of hard work, because these students had to be in the upper 20 per cent of their
class before they were selected by the faculty on the
basis of four points: character, scholarship, leadership, and service. A short time ago, there was much
suspense as to who was going to be selected; now,
in unison, they finish the pledge-"To the upholding
of these ideals, I now pledge myself, mind and spirit."

National Honor Society last

both character and scholarship. Back Row; B. Petersen ,

basketball game
"N" Club membership is open to boys who have
won a major letter in one of the sports. The goal of
the "N" Club is to develop good sportsmcnship, to
impress the boys with the importance of clean living
and thinking, and to encourage scholarship. This
year the members again sponsored the "N" ClubFaculty game, proceeds of which were used to buy
a camera for the school and to pay part of the cost
of hospital expenses in a few of the very serious
athletic accidents. Members of the "N" Club strive
to promote cooperation between the athletic department and the faculty; this year the members served
coffee to the teachers on exam days. The "N" Club
meets every other Thursday with their sponsor,
Mr. Jim Phipps.
"Brother, can you spare a
dime?" Correct attire for the
"N" Club initiate is modeled
by Bob Blowers as he humbles
himself before "N" Club member Bob Petersen.

"Hold tho: line!' Varsity cheerleaders Sandy Bruening, Jc Ann Lotz, Lindo Morse ::;aryl Bristol. Janet
Pipn, and Anna Otiepko wait •he outcorne of a
crucial ploy during the Morton game.
The Nilehi cheerleaders and the newly organized Pep
Club proudly boast that the "spirit yell" fits Niles better
than any other school cheer. Through the efforts of these
two groups, the enthusiasm of the student body was
brought to its all-time high.
During the football and basketball seasons, Monday
and Wednesday afternoo:-is found the cheerleaders practicing after school with Miss Shirlee Wilson, sponsor. After
a practice session of polishing new yells and reviewing
old ones, a business meeting was held to plan the pep
assemblies and take care of the organization's business.
This year, for the first lime at Niles, the cheerleaders
worked under a rotating captain system, giving each
cheerleader an opportunity to organize the pep assemblies and take care of the cheers at the games.

At the annual winter Sports Banquet, the cheerleaders
were presented with awards in appreciation of their efforts in keepi~ the splfit at Niles at its peak.

Trojan fans were able to see definite improvement in the team of 1954. The offense made more
touchdowns than Niles had ever scored before in
the Suburban League, and the defense, although
occasionally spotty, looked great at times during the
season. Under their new coach, Mr . Basrak, Niles
teams are building for better records in the future.
This year's Trojans came closer to matching the
scores of opponents, and many teams in the League
found this year's eleven capable of hard fought
games. Among the high spots of the year was the
game won against Amundsen of the City League
and the dubious distinction of finally scoring on
New Trier.

Trojan rooters can be justly proud of a very fine varsity basketball team.
Coached by Mr. Sheahan, they ended the season with a record of 7 and 7
in the Suburban League and an all over record of 12 wins and 9 losses. The
success of the team was due in no small part to "Buckets" Karnatz who led
the Suburban League scorers and set a new league record of 336 points.
Komatz was picked on the Daily News, Herald American, Tribune, and SunTimes all-star teams of the area. The team needed five men to win as it did,
and Dave Winchester, Rog Peterson, Dave Chevrier, Shel Mikkelson, and Jim
Elliott ;;:iave Niles fans reason to be proud of the whole team during the season
High spots of the year were an upset win over Morton, a third place trophy
at the Kankakee Christmas Tournament, and a Regional win over a Proviso
quintet which had beaten Niles twice during the regular season .

The story of the varsity wrestling team was a success story this
year for the first time. After losing the first three matches, the team
visibly improved and near the end of the season won four in a row,
the longest winning streak the school's team has ever had. Tie record
was eight wins, n ine losses, and one tie. The high spots of the year
were a tie with a rugged Glenbrook squad, a fine showing against
New Trier (even though it was a losing effort), a two point victory over
Evanston, the first shutout the team has ever dealt another school, and
a very interesting match against the Kentucky School for the Blind.
Constant winners were Dale Wright, Laurie Salamon, Lenny Miresse,
and Bill Albert. Jim Esbrook placed second in the sectional and wrestled downstate. As most of the team were underclassmen, the chances
for a winning squad next year seems good.

their girls' Suburban Playday
held in February.
Our G. A. A., which began in ] 939, has grown to be the
largest girls' club in the school under the direction of
Miss Helen Heitman, Miss Betty Schmidt, and Miss Shirlee
Wilson. Through its many activities, 330 girls learn good
sportsmanship, teamwork, and the sport skills.
,
G. A. A. members elect four officers each year: president, vice-president, secretary, and treasurer These girls,
with former officers and seniors on the board, read applicatlons from girls who wish to become board members.
From this mformation the new board is selected. Each
girl then beco~s the manager of one sport, assuming
leadership in organizing that activity
In addition to sports, the G. A. A. also sponsors three of
the year's main social events: Mistletoe Magic, the Christmas dance, Broomstick B:::iunce, the Jean jump; Hawmian
Enchantment, the turnabout. This year two playdays
were held at which times girls from selected schools came
to the Nilehi gym to enioy a day of sports. In this way
G. A. A. members meet new girls and learn new ideas.

�The final page in the 1955 Reflections seems to be the appropriate
place for acknowledgements to those who helped make this yearbook
possible. Our thanks go to Mrs. Mary Ida McGuire who as sponsor
guided the staff and contributed to the book itself, to Root Studios
of Chicago who did the photography for the book, to the King Co. of
Berwyn, Ill., who prepared the dummy a nd published the book and
to the typing classes of t-.1r. F. Poor and Miss Ada Immel.
This year our goal was to make Reflections an ever better yearbook than it has been m previous years. We wanted to include in it
pictures and copy that would tell the story of Nilehi and of the s tudent
body and faculty within its walls. This meant many changes and
different ideas. This year for the first time we changed the size of
our yearbook from 7%" x lO:Y2" to 9" x 12". Naturally whe::i new and
different ideas such as these appear there are bound to be differences
of opinion. We know we cannot please everyone, but the staff has
striven to create what we think is a yearbook best representing Nilehi.

AND A NEW YEAR
V
OF SCHOOL BEGINS
That day looked forward to with
mixed emotions is here at last the first
day of school. The buzz of 1850 students waiting before the main door
reaches a high pitch as we question
what the new school year will bring.
The bell rings! Picking up program
cards, getting new books, becoming
acquainted with teachers, greeting old
friends ... we're swept up in the rush
of school. Although feelings range from
the frightened bewilderment of a freshman starting a new life to the carefree
confidence of a senior ending a high
school career, everyone agrees that the
first day of school is exciting
Seniors Ken Walter and Bob Blowers, receiving textbooks from Mr. Bruce Sorensen,
dread the homework soon to begin.
A new teacher and new students become
acquainted with each other and with the
school as Miss Mary DiTullio explains high
school life to Al Heppner, Vic Bernell, Senne! Tzinberg, and Ronald Schultz, of her
freshman homeroom.

FILL HALLS
AND CLASS ROOMS
Crowds and confusion are a problem
in a school with an ever-increasing
population. We fill the halls, creating
traffic jams outside the library and at
the third floor entrance to the new
wing. More students produce a need
for more classrooms, a need which is
met by having English classes in the
art room, sociology in the Assembly
Room, and classes all through the day
in Rooms 322 and 222, which will be
hallways when the new addition is
completed in September of 1956.
More students travel up and down the stairways than
ever before as enrollment continues to increase.
Sidewalk superintendents Joyce Olson, Ted Pristash, and
Bruce Peterson look over the foundation of the new wing
started in September.
With only a twenty-six minute lunch period, students
impatiently wait in the long lines in the cafeteria.

We delve mto new fields of knowledge
and become experts in specialized sub

projects, and term papers. Because the
work is never ending, week nights are
packed with hours of study. Going over
assignments on the telephone, using a
dictionary to check the meaning of a

on November 12.
School isn't just studies-to most of us it is our world, a
world created by using our talents and interests in working
and playing together. Our combined efforts produce the Nilehilite, Golden Galleon, and yearbook. The thrill of seeing our
story in print is equaled only by our satisfaction as we cooperate in running the S tudent Supervised Study Halls, or the lift
of heart we feel in singing with the choir in Christmas Vespers.
Through the class cabinets, Student Council, and Student Court,
we make rules, cond uct contests, give dances, and enforce
laws- increasing our leadership abilities while adding to the
fun of school life.

THE CLASS BELL IS SILENT;
THE WEEKEND ARRIVES
T. G. I. F. - thank goodness it's Friday!
After yelling ourselves hoarse at the football game, we pile
into the car, head for Cooley's for a bite to eat, and then home
for a good night's sleep. Saturday comes, but not until ten or
eleven o'clock. At eight o'clock looking our best, we set out for
for the Teatro-- or downtown if it's a special evening-and
later join the crowd for pizza at Albertis. A kiss goodnight
completes the evening, and we give a sigh of satisfaction as
we dream about the wonderful time we have had.

PROVIDE A CORE OF LEARNING EXPERIENCES.
At a time when education is being. cnttc1zed !or having abandoned the
traditional curncu!um, Niles Township High School requires that approx1matelv one-half of the thirty-two credits required for graduation be in the
fields of social studies, English, mathematicf,, and science. All students are
required to take Social Studies l and 2, U S. History 1 and 2, and, m the
senior year, Problems of Amencan Democracy plus one other semester of
family living, sociology, or Latin-American history. All students take three
years of English, which, in the junior year, is a study of the development of
American literature. Either general math or algebra must be taken to provide
two credits in mathematics. The requirements of two credits m science is
usually met by taking general science. Finally, physical education is required
each semester.
This core of learning experiences prov~des the student with a good gen
era! education designed to provide for directed maturation m terms of the
developmental tasks of adolescence; to build an understanding of the scientific
basis for maintaining good physica. and mental health; to give mstruction in

WE PLAN FOR
COLLEGE THROUGHOUT
HIGH SCHOOL ...... .
......... . ..-·
,,
...
;~
In the early years of the twentieth century
only a small percentage of the population attended high school; today, a college education
is commonplace. Colleges, confronted with this
problem of increasing enrollments, have raised
and are continuing to raise their requirements
for admission.
To help the sixty-five per cent of students
who will attend college meet the entrance requirements of the college of their choice, Niles
Township High School offers seven college preparatory tracks or courses of study. In general,
a college preparatory course includes three
years of English (with four strongly recommended), one year of algebra, one year of
plane geometry, two years of a foreign language, one year of a laboratory science, and
two years of social studies. Six other college
preparatory tracks in commerce, engineering,
science, nursing, natural science, and home
economics are d esigned to provide a student
with the courses required for entrance into a
specific school of a university.
Since a knowledge of man's
past experience is necessary
for an understanding of the
present, world history students
Richard Young, Sharon Olnick,
and Jay Doney find the history
of past civilization a very pertinent study.

�FOR MANY OF US SCHOOL
WILL END WITH GRADUATION
...
Because graduation will be the end of formal
schooling for thirty-five per cent of the students,
Niles Township High School offers courses to prepare graduates for entrance into the business, industrial, or homemaking world.
Future secretaries, clerical workers, typists, and
bookkeepers are trained in the two business curricula. Students in the stenographic and secretarial
curriculum, in addition to two years of typing and
shorthand, study General Business and Record
Keeping I, 2 and Business Practices and Business
Law, L 2. Students in the clerical curriculum, in
addition to typing and General Business and Record
Keeping I, 2, take Clerical Practices I and 2 in the
fourth year. This course provides training in the
use of office machines.

The mdustnal arts curriculum is designed to 'prevent excessive repehhon
and permit broadenmg a student's educational experience to more than one
industrial area." Consequently, a freshman takes Industrial Arts Laboratory l,
which is a survey course, introducing the student to various shop courses. As
a sophomore, a student chooses auto mechanics. electricity, industrial drawing, metals, printing, or woods for one semester of study. As a junior or
senior, a student chooses one of the above areas for more specialized study
However, the industrial art department recommends that "students be limited
during grades ten and twelve to fifty-four weeks in any one area of industrial arts".
For students who wish to work while cttending school. Niles Township
High School offers the diversified occupation curriculum. This program is
organized so that all required subjects and technical related classes are offered

�ELECTIVES DEVELOP
VOCATIONAL SKILLS, AND
PREPARE US FOR COLLEGE.
Niles Township High School's answer to the criticism that modern education is like a cafeteria where
students choose subjects without any plan other
then that oi individual whim is the thirteen courses of
study or "tracks". However, students in each curriculum are allowed freedom in choosing maior-credit
electives ranging from those developing a specific
vocational skill to those providing a preparatory
foundation for a special area of college study. This
freedom is limited by requirement of sequence, aptitude, and the individual's educational and vocational plans.
Art, home design, journalism, photography, physiology, psychology are only a few of the fifty major
credit electives which are available to students.
Minor-credit electives in glee club, choir, band, and
orchestra develop a student's talents and interests
and provide a basis for extra-curricular activities.

Hi-Y, with a membership of one hundred boys, has been an
outstanding organization at Niles for nine years. Hi-Y initiated
such school activities as the Homecoming Parade; the Junior
Citizenship Award, which is given to a distinguished junior boy
and girl; the Hi-Y Scholarship, awarded to a deservmg senior;
and last year put out the first Student Directory, which listed the
names and addresses of all students. The club had the honor of
having a member, Phil Quigley, elected Youth Governor for the
University of Good Government, which is held in Springfield
every spring The real worth of Hi-Y lies in its value to the indi
vidual. Honest scholarship, sportsmanship, clean living, and
Chriatian character are the ideals that the Hi-Y hopes will stay
with its members when they leave high school.
Nornmees for the H1-Y Citizenship Award, Ho! Neimer, Dove

The Tri-Hi- Y is affiliated with the
Y W.C.A. This organization has sponsored hay rides, dances, and during
the Christmas season held a party
for the children in St. Henry's Orphanage. Officers of the club are:
Karen Breitzke (worship chairman),
Margherita Rask (secretary), Harriet
Boyd (president), Judy Lewis (vice president), and Beverly Wauthier
(treasurer).
Singing, laughter, ice cream, candy,
and a visit from Santa made the
Christmas party complete for the
children in Saint Henry's Orphanage . Tri-Hi-Y made this party possible for these children and others
like them during the past three years.
Tri-Hi-Y, founded in 1950, is affiliated with the Evanston "Y", but
most of its support this year has
come from the Skokie Valley Business and Professional Women's Club.
Juniors and seniors, who are eligible
for membership, were initiated in
January at a meeting attended by
parents.
Tri-Hi-Y, sponsored by Mrs. Rita
Gauer, successfully combines activity and Christian ideals. This year
members of the club held a Christmas party for the children of St.
Henry's Orphanage, went roller skating at the Playdium in Glenview,
and raised money for their organization by making and selling octopii,
an eight-legged creature made of
yarn. During the year the program
committee provided a model, a
beautician, and a minister to speak
to members.
As proud parents witnessed the
initiation, forty-one girls took the
pledge to become members of
Tri-Hi- Y. The girls listen attentively as President Harriet Boyd

Most of our hearts beat a little faster

brave in uniforms of gold and blue,
struts onto the football field on a golden
October afternoon. Our school spirit
gets that extra little shove when the
band plays "Nilehi! Nilehi!" at pep assemblies and basketball games.
For band members these colorful performances are preceded by hours and
days and years of rehearsing. Students
in the cadet band practice for one or
two years before they are ready to join
the varsity group which presents concerts at the township grade schools
every February and March. High point
of the year's work is the band concert
on May 11, when a repertoire of marches, classics, and jazz is presented. This
year the program included Finlandia,
Cuban Fantasy, and Gypsy Love Song.

' No, Mom, I can't help you clean the house. I
have lo lay out the yearbook dummy today!"
"Is it all right if I'm not in class next Friday? I
have to go with the photographer to take pictures
for the yearbook! '
"Sorry, I can't go to the show tonight. I have to
write copy!"
These excuses are not unusual from a member of
the yearbook staff. Under the direction of Mrs. Mary
Ida McGuire, staff members, who are now juniors
and seniors, started planning the 1956 edition of
Reflections as soon as the 1955 book had been completed. Homework assignments were laid aside as

the co-editors chose the theme-excitement· and or
ganized the yearbook. Outside obligations were
ignored as pictures were assigned and received,
and copy, headlines, and cutlines were written.
As the deadline date of March 23 drew near,
Room 225, fifth period, bustled with last-minute preparations During spring vacation the staff checked
and rechecked the spelling of names, corrected errors in grammar, and inserted the final punctuation
marks. Reflections 1956 was sent to the printer. The
staff waited until the yearbook banquet and then
breathed a sigh of relief· the completed yearbook
in their hands was worth oil the hard work of pro
ducing it.

IN NILEHILITE
A bustling newspaper office filled with students busily reporting the happenings of their
high school community-that's the home of the
Nilehilite, Room 219, every day during eighth
period. The process of getting out the Nileh1lite begir.s on Tuesday when the staff members
and Mr. Paul Eberhardt, sponsor, gather in a
circle and report the scoops they have gathered from their faculty news sources and tips
trom friends. The editors assign the important
news the following day, and the staff reporters
go after the facts so that they can meet the
Friday deadline. Letters to the Editor, briefs
about alumni, humorous happenings, and
stories are handed in to the news, feature, and
sports editors, who check them for errors in
fact. grammar, and spelling. The stories are
typed and sent to the lino· typers, who set them
up in type and send galleys back to the staff
to be proofread. The editors make up the
pages and wnte headlines, and give the dummied Nilehilite to Mr. Gale Wesley in print
shop. The pages are then put to bed and the
presses start rolling. The Nilehilite is given to
~ts readers on Friday.
Similar steps are followed by the news bureau chief. who assigns stories every W ednesday These are edited, typed, and sent to the
community newspapers. Reporters see their
stories, with bylines, in the papers the follow·

fifty pages, is published yearly by the Golden Galleon Guild. Aspiring authors are asked to submit essays, short stories, poems,
or one act plays, the best of which are selected by members of
the Guild for publication. The chosen authors are invited to become members of the Guild and are inducted at a formal dinner
in June

OUTSTANDING
NILEHIERS MAKE
NATIONAL HONOR
SOCIETY.
Only hve per cent of the junior and senior classes attain the
goal of every student: induction into the National Honor Society.
Students in the top twenty per cent o! their classes are judged by
the faculty on the basis of character, scholarship, leadership, and
service. On March 16 the chosen juniors and seniors received the
coveted invitations to become a member of the National Honor
Society.
Parents and fnends glowed with pride at the March 22 induction ceremony when new members, wearing shiny gold pins and
holding certificates and roses in one hand, lifted their burning
candles and recited: "I believe m Character as the foundation of
life, 'in Scholarship as the means to achievement· in Leadership
as a worthy aim; and in Service as the object and end of living
To the upholding of these ideals, I now pledge myself, mind
and spirit."
The highest honor achieved in high school is to be inducted into the National Honor Society during junior
or ~enior yGar Students are chosen on the basis of

and fifty-eight losses. Niles was the host at a tournament in
which Chicagoland area teams participated and traveled to
Lyons Township, L,a Grange, £yanston, Blue Island, Mendota,
DeKalb, and the University of Illinois at Navy Pier for competition. On February 3 and 4 the varsity won seven out of twelve
rounds m the annual tournament at Augustana Colleqe. The

See Chicago Club is the largest senior club in the school:
membership is open to any senior interested in exciting trips
to see Chicagoland's many wonders. The See Chicago Club
also sponsors the spring trip to Washington, D. C., which becomes one of high school's brightest memories for travelminded Juniors and seniors.
Semors are the backbone of the Student Umon and the
much-copied monitor system. At the Unions friends have a
good time playing pingpong or card games, watching a movie,
dancing, or just making the rounds to see who is there Monitors, who check passes and regulate traffic in the halls, are a
familiar sight. The monitor system is as much a part of Nilehi

France, Mexico, Rome, and Germany become familiar to students of foreign languages. This year, once again, members of
the Spanish Club traveled to Mexico City where they conversed
with natives, observed authentic customs, and toured public
buildings. Although looking forward to the Mexico trip, the Spanish Club took time out to sponsor a dance, show movies of Mexico,
and have Miss Nora Kuehne, a former resident of Latin America,
as a guest speaker.
Members of the Lahn Club gave a fash10n show displaying
Roman costumes and jewelry. Under the supervision of Miss Lamberg and Miss Hind the students made and modeled fashions.
H1ghlrghtmg the activities of the French Club was the trip taken
oy Mrs. Baker, sponsor, and members ol the club to a French
restaurant where they experienced French atmosphere and en
joyed the food peculiar to France German Club members saw a
film taken in Germany by a fellow student, Richard Aull. Playing
games and singing folk sonqs typical of Germany also occupied
the time at their meetings. On April 6 and 13 a group of students
dined at W:ath lgler's restaurant sauerbraten and all.

�Interest in a particular field of classroom study is
further stimulated by membership in a related club.
Science clubs provide a chance for students of all
levels to develop scientific knowledge. Freshmen
join either the girls' or boys' science clubs, where all
fields of science are open to exploration. Sophomores, through membership in Biology Club, study
living organisms. First hand information is gained
on field trips and in actual dissection of plants and
animals. Upperclassmen have experiments and
demonstrations of the physical sciences in the Physics Club. Members of the science clubs also work
for future rewards such as the Science Fair and
college scholarships.
Students of other classes also find it fun to carry
their interest beyond the classroom. The Pins and
Pans Club gives girls of the home economics classes
a chance to whip up their own concoctions and test
their designing ability. Many of us wear the blue
and gold school collars which they made. Proficiency in typing or shorthand is rewarded in the l 00 %
Club, where members learn of the business world
direct from the business man. Members contribute
to the By Lines, a paper of the business education
department. A common interest in preparing for a
career while still in school brought together the
members of the Diversified Occupations Club who
spend half a day in school and half a day working.
At their meetings they discuss their jobs and how to
better relations with their employers. All these clubs
are more than an outgrowth of the classroom: they
are the means by which the student can observe
and learn in the way he likes best-working with
his own age and interest group.
Officers of the Pins and Pans Club are
Linda Wolfson (secretary), Lois Rose (vicepresident), Alice Merwitz (president). and
Nancy Lotz (treasurer). Pins and Pans.

Membership in the 100% Club requires
typing 40 words per minute without error
or passing a shorthand test. Sponsored by
Miss Immel, the club has guest speakers
which tell the girls of the business world.
Recently they hod a formal initiation dinner for the installation of the following officers: Dorothy Dziodula (vice-president),
Dionne Brennan (secretory). Sandy Paul
(treasurer), Sandy Dragisic (promotion
manager). and Elaine Shuman (president) .
Training for their future careers now, the
members of the D. 0. Club attend school
in the mornings and work during the afternoons. It isn't at! work, for in the spring
they entertain their employers at a dinner.

�CLUBS DEVELOP WORTHWHILE HOBBIES FOR
Since twentieth-century man now enjoys
greater leisure than ever before because of
the limiting of his work week to forty hours,
and since this amount of leisure time will
continue to increase, the individual needs to
develop worthwhile hobbies for recreational
hours This year for the first time students,
instructed by Mr. J. Michael, were given an
opportunity to learn to play bridge . The
Craftsmans Guild, sponsored by Mr. B. Sorenson and Miss J. Oehler, was organized for
artistic students interested in leather work
and ceramics. An attempt was also made
to organize a club for students interested in
model railroading, but the group was disbanded, at least temporarily, because of
lack of interest. Dr. Mason, who is particularly interested in meeting the recreational
needs of young people, has appointed Mr. J.
Sheahan to make a study of additional clubs
to meet special interests.

�"OUR HEARTS WERE YOUNG AND GAY"
BUT OUR FEET WERE WET!
The misty, rain-soaked day of Homecoming is
something our young hearts will never forget. At
six in the morning we are up to put the final touches
on our floats. Cries of " Watch out! It's falling!"
drown out the wham of hammers. Finally, amid
"ohs and ahs," the float is set to go. The hurrying,
scurrying to get started and the hustle, bustle of
trying to find our driver fills us with anticipation.
Now all we have to do is wait.
The parade begins! A blur of brilliant colors
whizzes past our eyes while the "rat, tat, tat, tat,
tat" of the Woody Woodpecker float beats on our
ears.
After the parade has ended and the prizes are

under blankets for protection from the driving rain
and wind. Warmed by steaming hot coffee, we
cheer on the team until the final whistle. Score20 to 20!
The game over, we dash home to pin up our

�"WE'RE DREAMING OF A
WHITE CHRISTMAS", PARTIES,
AND HOURS OF SLEEP ...
The Chnstmas season is here again! Joyous strains of "Hark
the Herald Angels Sing," ring through the halls as the music
department practices feverishly for the spectacular Christmas
Vespers. Whether we are the audience or the performers, the
splendor of this production on December 18 awakens our
long-forgotten Christmas spirit. The audience is quiet, and
the singing begins, never belore has Christmas music sounded
more beautiful then when Niheli voices blend in the beautiful
melody of "Silent Night."
Filled with Christmas spirit, we celebrate the Yuletide season with parties in our homerooms. Fudge and Christmas
cookies are munched, while grab bag gifts are excitedly torn
open between stanzas of "Joy to the World ." Those urgent
book reports and tests forgotten, we concentrate completely
on having a marvelous time.

With school over at last, we look forward to two weeks of
fun and festivity. Outstanding memory of the Christmas season was the Belles and Beaux Cotillion. Here a winier wonderland was made reality by the silhouette of the horse-drawn
slei9h, and by the big evergreen-draped doorway on which
we labored so long. Although 'Tl! See You in My Dreams"
echoed through the partially emptied gym all too soon, we
looked forward to hours and hours of sleep and a white

If the ancient Trojans were thrilled by the Greek production
of the Wooden Horse, then Trojan Trumperies, the 1956 Nilehi
talent show, would certainly have made Hector's Palace! With
a program ranging from the satire of the 64,000 Lira Question,
the mad music of the "Crazy Little Mama" quartet, to the
piano solo of Douglas Wold, and the brilliantly costumed
dance of Karen Hornberg and Susie Schuster, students at
Nilehi proved again that not all the talent is in New York and
Hollywood. All the hours of rehearsing, all the anguish of
knocking knees and shaking hands are forgotten as the house
lights dim, the footlights qo on, and the curtain rises on

With a blare of trumpets and a whirr

house lights dim. And so, on April 27
and 28, the school gymnasium became
a lively college sorority house as the
curtain rose on Student Life, the first
musical ever to be produced at Niles
and in the community.
The show opened with the members
of the choir marching through the audience, singing the song 'Student Life.'
The audience held its breath while the
villains. played by Ron Shabel and
Marilyn Dell, tried to break up the romance of Phil Quigley and Carol
Schweger. Watchers sympathized with
Arlene Atwood as she tried to stop her
boy friend, Bob Martin, from flirting

SENIORS LEARN THE
MEANING OF
"PARTING IS SUCH
SWEET SORROW"
�Four splendid years at Niles are over. Never again will we be
the bewildered freshman, the sophisticated junior, the composed
senior; never again will we race down the hall as the bell is
ringing or wildly cheer our basketball team on to victory. The
class of '56 realizes at last that four years has not been such a
long time, after all.
The last few months before commencement are a whirl of
preparation. Some of us write a skit for the senior breakfast;
others search our classmate's personalities to complete the class
will; s till others complete plans for the future.
When the long awaited and dreaded day of graduation finally
dawns, we flock excitedly to the breakfast, held in the gymnasium, for a last exchange of laughter and tears with classmates.
Afterwards, beneath a hot June sun, we practice the processional
for the thrilling moment ahead.
Twilight ... a sliver of a moon ... the scent of red roses ...
the swish of white robes ... we begin the processional to the
strains of "Pomp and Circumstance." Under the flickering star,
in our white or blue caps and gowns, we march down the aisle
toward the platform. A lump swells in our throats. We are torn
between two emotions: sadness at leaving our high school
friends and Niles, our daytime home for the past four years, and
excitement over the unforseen future. At last, we hear Mr. Ohlson
call our name and step foreword to receive our diploma. The
future-careers, college, and marriage-lies ahead!

had good reason to cheer when their team
trotted onto the football field No longer were
they the underdogs, an easy victory for other
Suburban League squads. This year's Trojans
were not only a fighting team; they were a
winning team. Under the watchful eyes of
their coaches, Mr. Basrak, Mr. Odlivak, and Mr.
Lain, the team gave a clue of better things to
come in the first game of the year as they
pounded Bremen Township, a team which did
not lose another game all year, 31 to 13. Un
paralleled excitement raced through the community when the Trojans rolled over Proviso,
13 to 0, for the first Suburban League win in
four years. A 32 to 6 victory over the Highland
Park Little Giants, another step toward the
goal of a winning season, was led by the four
touchdown total of high-scoring Trojan halfback Len Miresse. Together with the first Suburban League win came another first for Niles.

�TEAM SPIRIT MOUNTS AS EARLY SLUMP HALTS.
The final quarter of each game proved to be the downfall
of the Trojans as they lost to eight of their first nine opponents. The Trojans snapped out of their seven-game losing
streak by defeating Evanston 48 to 44 and downing Waukegan 51 to 49. The first-place Proviso Pirates had to put
up a battle the following weekend to keep the Trojans
down, but the team bounced back to revenge a sudden
death defeat earlier in the season at the hands of Highland
Park bY, beating the Little Giants 69 to SO. The Trojans had
finally become a team! With their new spirit they easily
slashed Morton's seven-game winning streak.
The season closed with a victory over Waukegan for the
second time. The team finished in fifth place with a record
of seven wins and eleven losses under the coaching of Mr.
Sheahan. Leading the team in rebounding and scoring,
Trojan center Dale Kaiser ranked as the second high scorer
in Suburban League competition and was placed on the
area's all star teams.

bounced back to win the next nine out of thirteen games with a five game winning streak
in the midst of these wins Of their seven losses
dunng the season, five games were lost by
only one point and the remaining two were
lost by less than seven points. The team tied

SWIM TEAM TIES FOR NINTH PLACE IN STA TE MEET.
This year's varsity swim team won crushing victories against Leyden, Riverside-Brookfield, and DeKalb. The team also supplied many thrills with a
close, hardfought victory over the Proviso tanksters
and looked good even in defeat against strong
Maine, Waukegan, and Morton squads. The team
also tied for ninth in the state meet at New Trier
on the basis of the 200-yard medley relay team
which set a new school record. Looking especially
good this year were Doug Stryker and Bill Yant.
Bill set a new school backstroke record of 1:10.6.
The frosh-soph team, closing with a record of four
wins and seven losses, swamped Leyden 57 to 19,
and drowned both Riverside-Brookfield and Morton
by identical scores, 55 to 22. Showing promise
were Burton Feingold, who finished fourth in the
Suburban League breaststroke, and Dave Oakes, a
backstroker.

Excellen1 pitching, fine fielding, and good
hitting combined to bring Niles one of its best
baseball teams in years. Goal of the team was
the Suburban League championship, and the
future looked bright as this book went to press
with a pair of victories over Waukegan (8 to 4
and 5 to 3), a slugging triumph over Evanston
(l 2 to 3), a hard-fought win over Proviso, last
year's champions (3 to 2), the team was well
on its way The highlight of the season, however, was an opesing game win over Palatine,
6 to 0, m which Ken Walter and Hal Neimer
combined to hurl a no-hitter. As well as these
line pitchers, Rog Whitsett, Bruce Reinger, Bill
Pegausch, and Bill Ihne have been doing a
commendable job under the coaching of Mr.
Phipps.

Glenbrook, 11 to 8, and Arlington, S to 2. Their single

outstanding. Coached by Mr. Hooseline, the team has
rough encounters ahead against New Trier and Oak Park.
The freshman baseball team, under the direction of Mr.
Schubert, is looking forward to a successful season. A
win over Evanston, 6 to 1, in the first league game of the
year was the accomplishment of these underclassmen.
A loss to Arlington, 4 to 1, has served notice that other
rough games against foes like Morton and Proviso may
be ahead.

With four returning lettermen, three juniors and a sophomore,
the varsity tennis team started the season with a bang. In thei1
first game they swamped Arlington Heights 5 to 0 and went on to
beat Glenbrook 4 to 1. The following week Maine had a hard
time holding the Trojans down by a score of 3 to 2. The Troians
then bounced back to defeat Waukegan and Proviso m their first
two Suburban League encounters, which tied them for first place
in the League. The Tro1ans also played a Suburban League
meet at Oak Park and a district meet at Evanston. Coched by
Mr. Sheahan, they had their sights set on that first place trophy
in the Suburban League.
Not to be overshadowed by the successful varsity, the froshsoph team, also coached by Mr. Sheahan, was victorious m four
of their first five matches. Arlington Heights, Glenbrook. and

meets with Palatine, Oak Park, Arlington, Leyden,
Proviso, New Trier, Glenbrook, North Chicago, Waukegan, Maine, Evanston and Morton. To qualify fo r
the golf team, prospects must participate in an elimination round in which the top seven scores determine the regular members of the squad. Those who
did not qualify in the elimination round can challenge and defeat one of the seven selected members
to win a place on the team. Ineligibilities have cost
the squad several good golfers, but the excellent
turnout of freshman and sophomore golfers improved the team's prospects.

Unheralded because of the successful football sea
son were the efforts of the cross-country teams. Crosscountry, an outgrowth of track, is a two mile race. The
varsity team, like the football squad, won their first
league meet this year, beating Morton. The frosh-soph,
not to be outdone, took a meet from the Leyden tracksters. Consistent winners were Dave Wilson and Don
Peters, who took twelfth place in the Suburban League
meet. The spirit of the squads was high, but the number of boys participating was low.

League cross-country meet this year.

The track team started on the road to victory this season. Although the
varsity have not had any team wins as yet, they have two s trong prospects for
downstate. One is senior Jack Hagman, who has broken the school record for
the shot-put, setting a record of 47' 2". In addition, he is only four inches short
of the school record for the discus throw. The other is senior Dave Wilson, a
fast half-miler, who also ran a leg of the mile relay team' with Dick Rosenfield,
Ken Zahn, and Ron Conrad. The varsity is coached by Mr. Harmon, who was
helped this year by Mr. Byram and Mr. Marcus, practice teachers.
The frosh-soph have won two triangular meets already, beating Highland
Park and Waukegan in one, and North Chicago and Morton in another. With
39V2 points in the big Lake Shore meet, they placed third. Outstanding was
Frank Fortuna, sophomore, who is already beating the varsity in the dashes
and quarter mile. With a strong team and good coaching by Mr. Hussey, the
frosh-soph piled up their best record in many years.

swim club, bowling, basketball, modern dance, tumbling, volleyball, softball, or golf, or all of them.
Social activities have also increased .

HELPING YOUNG PEOPLE
REALIZE THEIR POTENTIALITIES IS EXCITING.
Dr. Joseph A. Mason, superintendent of
Nilehi, finds excitement in planning an educational program for young people which
will help them realize their potentialities. As
future citizens, young people need knowledge to prepare them to assume responsibility m the community as well as to meet
the requirement for college or a career. Part
of the challenge of Dr. Mason's position is
finding teachers with the ability to spur on
their students. Furthermore, a setting must
be provided which will inspire both students
and teachers to search for knowledge.
In addition to his functions at Niles, Dr.
Mason has held offices in state and national
educational organizahons. During 1956, he
acted as president of the Illinois Association
of School Administrators. He was a member
of the Governor's Commission on Education
which planned the Pre-White House Conference and attended the White House Conference on Education as the delegate from
Illinois.

A MODERN
SCHOOL IS "BIG
BUSINESS".
A modern school is big business and the
responsibility for directing the two million
dollar enterprise is in the hands of the seven
man Board of Education which includes five
business and two professional men. Matters
of broad policy, teacher's salaries, approvmg funds for purchasing and maintenance
of equipment for the present school plant
are problems of this group. Furthermore, in
l 956, the Board of Education has had to supervise the planning of a new school for
which contracts were let in May, 1956. Cost
of this new building, which will be ready for
occupancy in the fall of 1957, will be four
million dollars; equipment and land development will bring the total cost to five million dollars

The Parent-Teacher Association give
Mom and Dad an opportunity to meet the
faculty and learn more about Nilehi. Eacn
year, at four meetings of PTA, a particu
Jar class level is represented at which
time the homeroom teachers of that level
are present to become better acquainted
with the parents of their students At a
dinner given this year on November 17,
teachers were guests of the PTA.
A second goal of the PT A is that of
providing parents with an insight into our
school life. Each year, during American
Education Week, parents are invited to
accompany us through our daily schedules, so that they may learn exactly how
we spend our school hours. Furthermore.
at the monthly meetings, school groups
such as the choir, orchestra, or band perform. This year, a panel composed of
juniors and seniors discussed whether
modern education teaches students to
think.
PT A members also lend their services
in other ways. Homeroom mothers help
to plan Christmas parties while others sell
refreshments at athletic contests. A monthly news bulletin informs parents of school
events and provides interesting information about the faculty, administrahon, and
school organizations.

ADVISORS ARE TEACHERS,
'As advisers we receive our greatest
rewards through helping a student realize
that he can find a worthy place in life and
make the most of himself if he learns selfguidance and applies himself to his
studies. We prepare people for self-guidance and thinking for themselves." Although this is the most exciting aspect of
their work, the six advisers, who are class
principals, guidance directors, and teachers, also check. excuses for absence, talk
to parents and visitors, and attend meetings as part of the daily routine.
As class principals the advisers attend
weekly meetings to develop the policies
of the school and to decide on methods
of putting them into action. Responsible

Like Chaucer's Oxford Scholar, the faculty of Niles
Township High School continue their studies. Of the
eighty-four faculty members who responded to a ques
tionaire, three hold the degree of Doctor of Philosophy
and four are working on a Doctors degree; forty-eight
hold the Master of Arts degree; of the twenty-four who
hold the Bachelors degree, fourteen are working for
their Master's degree in such dive rsified fields as guidance and personnel, speech correction, theatre, biol
ogy, health and physical education, mathematics. edu
cation and history, industrial education, school admin
istration, and business education at such schools as
the University of Illinois, Northwestern, Columbia, University of Chicago, University of Wisconsin, and Uni
versity of Colorado.
The Board of Education not only encourages this
professional growth but requires that faculty members
receive five credits every five years. Teachers may
earn these credits by attending school or working,
either alone or in committees, on problems affecting
the school For the past two years, teachers in the
Mathematics, Science, Social Studies, and English De
partments have been working with the Curriculum
Committee of the University of Illinois on a study to determine whe ther students can learn to think critically
through instruction in logic, semantics, and scientific
method. Other professional growth committees work
on the following problems: reorganizing the curriculum, developing a guidance p rogram; surveying the
freshman mathematics classes to find out how the
scores on the Schorling-Clark One Hundred Problem
Arithmetic Test correlate with success in algebra, cor
relating the Social Studies I and II classes; bridging
the gap from elementary to secondary school in mathematics; surveying of students enrolled in industrial arts
concerning accomplishments of students enrolled as
compared to those of the student body as a whole.
Furthermore, this summer, teachers with Master's degrees, will continue to enrich their backgrounds by
studies in the comparative arts, Latin, and Greek and
Roman history.

teachers of Nilehi gathered together, (often fortified with cookies and coffee) to consider professional problems. The first Monday of each
month Dr. Mason meets with the entire staff to
discuss such topics as the building program,
salaries, or administrative policies affecting the
entire school. The second Monday of each
month is reserved for homeroom teachers'
meetings at which time the advisers, who direct the work at each class level, brief the
teachers on such points as registration procedure, guidance activities, and routine administrative duties.
Department meetings are held on the third
Monday and more frequently, if necessary.
These meetings, which bring together all the
teachers in a particular subject under direction of the department chairmen, are used to
set up objectives of the teaching in that field,
to plan curriculum offerings, and to select text
books. New courses, like sociology, economics,
Latin-American history, grammar and syntax.
creative writing, home design, architectural
drawing are an outgrowth of this study. Established courses also are evaluated and revised.
This past year faculty members have had the
additional responsibility of designing rooms
and selecting equipment for both the new

Nilehi teachers. in addition to their intra-faculty professional activities, participate in local.
state, and national organizations. A majority
of the teachers belong to the Illin01s Educa!Jon Association and the National Education
Association. Forty eight teachers, responding
to a questionnaire on the subject of professional activities, belonged to ninety-six organize
lions. National organizations such as the National Council of Teachers of English, National
Science Teachers Association, National Speech
and Hearing Association, American Association of Physics Teachers, American Personnel

As Juniors we entered the upper strata of high school society.
Teachers knew us by name. Many of us had the rmg of that all tm
portent boy on a chain around our neck. We were big "wheels."
We began to assume leadership in school affairs as officers of clubs,
-~upervisors and chairmen of study halls, and as experienced members

halls of Niles were 'decked with holly" for Christmas To earn money

to that boy and girl 'with outstandmg character" who received the
Ht Y citizenship awards, won last year by Elaine Shuman and Bill
DiGiho. Furthermore, five percent of the Jumor class was inducted
into the National Honor Society
School become more difficult m· we looked forward to college and
careers. We began to realize that our class rank could make or break
us Our sub;ects were more specialized as we branched out into the
various curricula like engineering, nursing, diversified occupations, or
secretarial
Being juniors, we were more active in extra curricular activities.
Spring brought Trojan Trumperies, the Washington trip, and the
musicale Student Life. The Junior Prom at the Palmer House climaxed
our most exciting year.

looked down upon as "those lowly little freshies." We found ourselves
looking at the freshman class and thinking, "We could never have
been that green!"
As sophomores we werP. given more freedom m choosing our cur
nculum; we studied specialized courses such as world history, biology,
typing, a foreign language, or shop courses.
Walking through the halls was no longer an ordeal; we were
familiar with the school. the faculty, and our classmates. What made
us feel even older was being permitted to eat lunch at Roundy s with
the juniors and seniors. We discovered that our soc10l life had become
'it.' Saturday evenings were no longer spent at home; we attended
activities, parties, and dances with the upper classmen.
More people than ever came to watch our class teams. Our lroshsoph basketball squad had a oetler record than the varsity and tied
for second place in the Suburban League. When we beat the juniors
in the annual J-V game, we were really proud.

at the beginning of the year, were kept busy with the float for the Home,

Who will ever forget the confusion of those first unforgettable
weeks! It seemed as if we would never become accustomed to the
bewildering schedules, large building, crowded halls, and new classes.
My mid October, however, the s trangeness began to wear off. The
boy next to us in study hall was "Dick," not just somebody m a blue
shirt. The frosh-soph mixer helped to break down our feeling of in
fe riority. Some of the school spirit rubbed off on us, too, when we saw
how excited everyone was about our football win over Proviso. We
were becoming a part of Nilehi
In our classrooms, too, we felt less strange. Our first talk m speech
class had us shaking from head to toe, but after we knew our classmates better it wasn't quite so bad. The Kuder Preference Tests given
in our social studies class gave us a new look at ourselves. We were
surprised to discover that some of the girls would make good mechanics, while some of the boys looked promising in home economics.
As we look back on those first days we can laugh about the em
barrassing moments of walking into the wrong classroom or forgetting
our locker combinations. Soon we'll be selling "elevator passes" to
the new freshmen and sending them to the third floor via the basement, knowing that we could never have been so "green."
The first day of school was "D Day" for freshmen, who received instructions from freshman
advisers. Mr. Victor Wenzell and Miss Aune
Toivola.

��Peggy Walker is all "wrapped

After we had mastered many of the fundamentals in
our freshman year, as sophomores we began to take
subjects more difficult and specialized in content. For
those of us who chose to take the world history King Tut,
Julius Caesar, Henry VIII, and Kaiser Wilhelm lined up
for our inspection. "X" and "y" became sver so much
more complicated in geometry as they were applied to
angles, tangents, and secants. The shrieks and squeals
that issued from the biology lab testified to the fact that
we were discovering the internal workings of living
animals. Those of us who took non-academic subjects
were pleasantly surprised to find that we could sew a fine
seam or weld a neat joint. Those who took typing quickly
realized how valuable that skill can be for speeding up
homework, as well as for college and business use.
In world history class Judy Sonneborn,
Mimi Stone, and Dennis Sullivan find
the Japanese sword shown by Dr. Betts
an interesting sidelight in studying the
Russo·Japanese Viar.

When we ordered our class rings and planned the
prom, we began to realize that our high school days would
soon be over. As we worked out our programs, we began
to understand that individual courses were part of a wellplanned whole, designed to give us an individualized but
well-rounded education. We all studied American literature and United States history to become aware of our
country's traditions and ideals. If we were planning to
attend college, our courses of study included physics;
advanced algebra; and the languages, French, German,
Latin, or Spanish. If we were planning to work after
graduation, some of us went into the diversified occuoations or office occupations programs so that we attencli?d
school in the morning and got actual on-the-job experience
in the afternoon.

��SENIORS TAKE VARIED AND
SPECIALIZED COURSES ...
After w e seniors made certain that we had taken the
year of math ematics, the year of general science, the two
years of social studies, and the three years of English
required for graduation from Niles, we took advantage of
the variety of interesting as well as valuable courses
offered. Emby ro Van Goghs took art. Future Hemingways
took composition and creative writing. The Pierre and Eve
Curies probed into the mysteries of the earth's composition in chemistry. The Chippendales, skilled with their
hands, took specialized courses in wood shop, metals
shop, and print shop. The girls with a certain dream in
mind took home design, foods, and clothing. As the
senior's days became fewer and fewer, his courses became more valuable to him as a means of realizing his
ambitions for the future.

�VOICES STUDENT OPINION.
Throughout the year Student Council, one of the largest,
busiest school organizations, industriously plans, supervises, and sponsors many different affairs. Furthermore,
through this democratic body, consisting of representatives
chosen from each homeroom, the students have a chance
to voice their opinions, favorable or unfavorable.
Student Council is composed of several standing committees which make their reports to the general assembly
at the beginning of each meeting. Following the reports,
the assembly discusses the business on the agenda, which
has been planned by the Executive Board previous to the
meeting of the general assembly.
The Nilehi Student Council plans the Homecoming
Parade, setting up specifications of size, length, and height
for each class of floats; sends student representatives to
code panel discussions, one of which was on television;
recommends to the administration, school improvements
such as pencil sharpeners and dictionaries for every room;
welcomes new students and acquaints them with the
school. teachers, and classmates; organizes the annual
drive for the support of Lee Min Soo, the Korean orphan
boy adopted four years ago by Niles; organizes the
March of Dimes campaign, "Three Dimes for Three Shots,"
which netted over $350; and sponsors social affairs such
as the dance, "Fantasie Parisienne," held March 30.
Admiring the Code of Ethics plaque which symbolizes the
moral code of the school are Jack Witucki, Carol Miller,

�NATIONAL HONOR SOCIETY
RECOGNIZES CHARACTER
AND SCHOLARSHIP.
National Honor Society is the "Phi Beta Kappa" of the
secondary school. On April 3, proud mothers and fathers,
teachers, and fellow students saw twenty-five juniors and
twenty-seven seniors inducted into this organization in a
ceremony which was a fitting climax to four years of
"scholarship, leadership, and service." These qualities,
and "character," were the criteria applied by the teachers
in selecting the five per cent of juniors and the twenty
percent of seniors who were to stand on the stage, receive
the rose and candle, and recite the pledge: "I believe !n
Character as the bun:lation of life; in Scholarship as the
means to achievement; in Leadersh1 p:is a worthy aim;
and in Service as the object and end of living. To the
u-:i!1olding of these ideals, I now pledge myself, mind, and
spirit."
Barbara Norris's and Gail Braverman's parents are as enthusiastic
as 1heir daughters upon the girls' inducticn into National Honor
Society. Mrs. Braverman gives Gail a congratulatory kiss.

�ON JUNE 7 IS BIG DAY FOR STAFF.
"Both the advisor and staff are to be congratulated on a well edited yearbook which
exemplifies a cooperative and hard working
staff." This comment was made by the Columbia Scholastic Press Association, which gave
the '56 Reflections the First Place award. Not
content with First Place, this year's staff is seeking the top honor, Medalist, which is given to
not more than ten percent of publications who
have received the First Place award.
Immediately after selecting the theme, "The
Green Years," the staff of seven seniors and
nine juniors laid out the dummy, balancing
pages by providing the correct amount of white
space to avoid a cluttered effect. As soon as the
dummy had been approved, pictures were
planned and taken. More than nine hundred
pictures were taken and identified, of which
eighty were English classes for the portrait
section.
In the meantime, eighteen senior girls, under
the direction of Mrs. Barnes, worked on the

senior portrait section. Through the winter
months they were busy making appointments
for the seniors portraits, overseeing the filling
out of activity sheets, typing, and proofreading.
The next major step for the general staff was
writing copy. Queslionaires were sent out to
various teachers and administrators for material
for the faculty and administration section. Information about the activities of fifty clubs was
obtained by interviews with teachers and
students. Special events, including all the
dances, Reflections, and the Prom, were
covered. Statistics on scores for swimming,
basketball, football, and cross country had to
be obtained for the sports section. In all, two
hundred pages of information were sought by
the staff.
With the copy written, the book was sent to
the printer by the April l deadline. As the pages
were printed, they were returned for proofreading. Finally the delivery day arrived June 7!
The yearbook was a success!

"Headline, deadline, byline." To the staff and
editors of the Nilehilite these are keywords in
that special language of the newspaper world.
Reporters gather tips from their beat sources
on Monday. Tuesday, Mr. Eberhardt (Sponsor),
the editors, and staff gather to report all. From
this "pow wow" come the ideas for stories,
assigned by the editors the following day. With
pencil in hand and eyes wide open, these
journalistic Sergeant Fridays gather the facts
by talking to teachers, interviewing students,
and attending sporting events. Friday deadline
is fast approaching. Stories are typed, edited,
and sent to lino. The return of the galleys means
proofreading by the staff. With the completion
of headlines and page make up, the Nilehilite is
sent to press. Pe:J:c3 of mind comes to the editors
when the paper is distributed on Friday.
While Henry Feuerzeig (Sports Editor)
lays out the sports pages for the next
issue, Barry Gigsiad, Bob Eamon, Dick

�GOLDEN GALLEON
COMBINES THE SOCIAL
AND THE CREATIVE
Even though it wcsn't "Hour Time To Win," the Golden Galleon
clock placed first in class "C."
Over tw) hundred manuscripts were submitted this year to the Golden Galleon Guild
for consideration, according to the sponsor,
Mrs. Parepa Rice. Forty hopeful writers, who
had submitted poems, essays, or short stories
on subjects from the ridiculous to the sublime,
found that nothing-football letters or National
Honor Society pins- is more exciting than leafing through the newly printed magazine in
search of something one has written and finding it. If a piece is selected, the writer is initiated
into the Guild at a banquet in June.
The Guild has its social side, too. Beside the

�CURTAIN GOING UP!
In Mr. Barry's Etchings, Sondra Hagen (Mrs.
Griswold) utters a final warning to Margo
Calamaras (Carol Plunkett), Tom Conners (Mr.
Sam Jordan), Gary Kreuger (Bud), and Gayle
Beckway (Carrie Stanwich) that from now on
sho will run the town of Stanwich.
"Curtain time-five minutes."
Unknown to the gathering audience, backstage is in a dither. Lines are gone over, last
minute technical difficulties of sound, stage,
and front lighting are straightened out, and
make up retouched as the clock ticks away
the last few minutes. Stage fright, excitement,
and anticipation cause the well-known butterflies.
"Curtain going up! "
The audience knows little of the work required before these words can be spoken.
In selecting a play, Miss Stemp is faced with
many questions. Can it be produced on our
stage? Is the set and lighting too complex?
Is it suitable for high school? Is it good literature? Is is worthwhile educationally? Con
the talent available handle the roles? Is it
too expensive to present? Is the cast too large
or too small? Having faced the se problems,
Miss Virginia Stemp and her Thespians
presented Mr. Barry's Etchings and Dino in
the 1956-57 season. Members of the Thespians and Spotlighters, the two dramatic
organizations, not only act but also assist
with designs, sound, lighting, and make-up.
The prerequisite for initiation into Thespians
is a record of at least one hundred hours
spent on drama productions.
All is in readiness backstage for the performance of Mr. Barry's Etchings: the characters
are on stage and the crew is ready to relaxtemporarily. Back Row: Sue Goldberg, Mike

Seeing a bullfight in Mexico City and writing valentines in Latin are only two examples of the many activities of the foreign
language clubs, whose purpose is to give a
broader concept of the various languages
than can be gained in the classroom.
Language club students also acquire an
understanding of the culture of the nations
whose languages they study.
The Spanish Club with Mr. do Rosa as
advisor sponsored a dance "La Fiesta," and
had a dinner at the La Siesta. The biggest
undertaking of the year, however, was the
spring trip to Mexico planned by Mr. Blair,
Chairman of the Foreign Language department. There, the students had the opportunity
to test their ability to speak Spanish and view
the customs and culture of old Mexico. They
saw such relics of the Aztec civilization as
the Pyramid of the Sun and studied Spanish
art at the Palacio de Belles Artes. A highlight
of the trip was the stay at the famous seaside
resort of Acapulco.
In March, the Latin Club was host to
students from twenty other schools for the
District Latin Contest. the first test of three
culminating in the Illinois State Latin Contest.
One hundred thirty-three candidates participated. Donna Bistalfo, Aaron Bloch, Joan
Wolter, Judy Erickson, Bernard Roos, and
Mike Sacks all received superior ratings and
are eligible for the Sectional Contest to be
held on April 13. After taking a difficult exam,
the contestants were entertained at lunch by
the members of the club. The "grandeur that
was Rome" was revived May 16 when the
club gave its annual banquet. Dressed in
togas, stallas, and tunics, and eating food
much the same as the Romans did, revived
the Roman way of life.
The German Club showed movies taken
in Germany to help recreate the atmosphere
of Deutschland. They also had the advantage
of having several student members from
Germany who could tell about that country
from a teenager's point of view.

To further develop scientific interest and
ability, a Science Seminar has been instituted at Niles. Students recommended by
their science teachers take an entrance
examination. If the student passes this examination, he is assisted m the project he
decides upon by leading Skokie scientists:
Dr. Richard Edgren, Dr. Evelyn Tyner, and
Mr. David Calhoun.
Ed Pollock, a member of the Science
Seminar since its beginning, placed among
the ten top iunior scientists in the nation-wide
Westinghouse Talent Search. After placing in
the top forty on the basis of an examination,
Ed traveled to Washington for the final judging. Ed's project on growth inhibition by the
use of chemicals on planaria helped him to
win a four hundred dollar scholarship.
Also ottered to interested students are the
Biology and Physics Clubs. These provide a
place where students of the same class level
can get together and delve deeper into the
mysterious world of science.

This year, after working their way through a
maze of such terms as "parity," "soil bank,"
and "agricultural reserve," the Niles debaters
were a formidable foe to the Chicago area
teams. The year's debate proposition was the
controversial question of "Aid to the Farmer."
The team finished with a record of eighty-six
wins and eighty-two losses.
One of the high points of the season came
when the varsity debaters met teams from all
over Iowa and Illinois at the Augustana College
Tournament to come home with an eight out of
twelve record, the best Niles has ever done.

TROJAN HEADS ARE "BLOODY
Six losses, one tie and one non-Suburban League
win were the best the varsity football team could
do this yeor Hopes were high when Bremen, a nonconference foe, was soundly whipped 32-7 in the
opening game of the season, but the Trojans could
only tie Highland Park 19-1 9 later in the season. However, the Oak Park game was generally considered
to be the best-played Trojan game of the season. The
final gun found Niles on Oak Park's three yard line
with the Oak Park "Huskies" leading by one point,
21 -20.
Jim Tomsik brings down a Morton ball carrier
as Tom Baumann and Art Wittkamp close in

went on to defeat Bremen 33-7 in the season's
opener.

Weldon, Ed Jaster, and Ron Che z received honorable
mention.

OF EIGHT.
Excellent offensive blocking from Ron Henrici, Bill McGrath, and Jim
Coursey helps Les Lange gain yards in the Bremen game.
The sophomores won three and lost five
games, a better record than their varsity
superiors. The able coaching of Mr. Byram,
assisted by Mr. Coyer and Mr. Hoosline, paid
oH in an early win. Meeting Bremen in the
first game of the season, the sophomore hustlers
scored 31 points to Bremen's none for a shutout
opener. The team could score only one touchdown per game against Waukegan and New
Trier but bounced back to overthrow Highland
Park by tripling their score 39 to 13. Oak Park,
Morton, and Proviso could score only seven
points apiece against Niles' onslaught the final
three games of the season. The large number
of players this year, forty-five, should provide
good varsity material in future years.

FRESHMAN FOOTBALL
New to high school football, freshmen receive training that will eventually mold them into a hard fighting
varsity team. The coaching of Mr. Markus, Mr. Wright,
and Mr. Schnurr taught the freshmen to keep their
heads low and fight. That the future Trojans learned
well is shown by their record of five wins and three
losses. Though unusually small (in spite of the large
number of freshmen enrolled at Niles) the team again
showed that younger teams often turn in better records
than their varsity elders. Early in the season the freshmen beat Waukegan 19-7 and Highland Park 13-6, but
it wasn't until the very end of the season that the team
finally hit its stride. Oak Park, Morton, and Proviso were
amazed to find themselves scoreless when the final
quarter ended.

TWO-MILERS BEAT WAUKEGAN AND HIGHLAND PARK
Both varsity and sophomore teams made this
year the best in history for Nilehi cross country.
Last year both captured their first Suburban
League win; this year both teams took two
victories, each beating Highland Park and
Waukegan. Coached by Mr. Harmon, the varsity two-milers ran up impressive individual as
well as team records. The school records fell
when Don Peters ran the course in 9:54. In the
conference meet Jerry Keidel placed fifth while

�STRIDE IN REGIONALS
A season's training under a new coach, Mr. Sortal, paid
off where it counted the most for the varsity roundballersat the Regional Basketball Tournament. With only three
wins behind them in the regular season, Niles was considered an easy mark by the other teams. Only a small
crowd was present for the first game, but the final score
showed that Niles had easily defeated Glenbrook, 76-44.
Arlington Heights played the victorious Niles the next
evening and fell 74-66 before the splendid playing and
teamwork of the Trojan team. The huge crowd of 1100
fans cheered Niles on against Leyden for the Regional
Championship. The score was tied when the final
whistle blew. With an all out effort, the varsity five
pulled four points ahead in overtime, but with victory still
in their eyes, saw their lead dwindle, then disappear, to
lose by three points.
Although having individually good players, the team
took only three wins out of nineteen games, beating
Leyden, Highland Park, and Maine. Center Larry Van
Mersbergen was the high scorer for the team, often averaging 25 to 30 points a game. Eight of the twelve disappointed, but not discouraged varsity, will return next
year to tr.Y again.

The frosh-so;,Jh team had many close games this
season: seven games ended with Niles winning or losing by three points or less. Coached by Mr. Phipps, the
sophomore Trojans beat Leyden in their first game by
two points, (34-32). Soon after, Highland Park fell, also
by two points (26-24). Meeting up with Waukegan, Niles
sank a total of 50 points, this time to win the close game
by three points. Ending the season with a second game
against Waukegan, the team finished with a grand
flourish, winning 36-30. Ron Lis, one of the best shots on
the team, sank seven out of eleven in the second half,
pulling Niles into the lead. Aided by the rebounding of
Charles Wheat, Bill Johns, and Bill Reading, Niles went
on to win the game and to finish the season with a four
win, twelve loss record.

�FOUR SCHOOL RECORDS ARE BROKEN
AND ONE TIED
Coach Tony Schubert said this year's swimming team was "the
strongest and best balanced team ever to swim at Niles." Proving this
statement is the fact that four school records were broken and one was
tied: records were set by the 200 yard medley relay team of Jim Iverson, Burt Feingold, Dave Oakes and Charles Breen; the 200 yard freestyle relay team of Charles Breen, Dave Morgan, Stan Bennett and
Bill Yant; the 100 yard backstroke by Dave Oakes; and the 150 yard
individual medley by Bill Yant, who was voted most valuable by his
teammates. Norm Carberry tied the 200 yard free-style record set back
in 1952 by Dean Ness. During a hot streak, the varsity tanksters swept
six straight wins. A total of seven wins netted the team fifth place in
the Suburban League.

The wrestling teams this year made one of the outstanding records in several seasons with the varsity scoring 12
wins and 4 losses and the sophomores taking 4 wins and
10 losses. Of the varsity's twelve wins the two most
cherished were the wins over Waukegan and Maine,
which were the first wins over these two schools in the
history of Nilehi wrestling. Another "first" that our matmen
chalked up this season was sending three men, Ron Johnson, Ron Chez, and Henry Feuerzeig, to the state finals.
Feuerzcig, varsity ninety-five pounder, placed fourth in
the state and was elected most valuable wrestler by his
teammates. The team took twenty-ninth place in the state.
Hopes are high for next year's team, as only three of the
twelve varsity wrestlers will graduate this year.

WIN OVER
PALATINE
9 TO 6.
This year's team of three seniors, six juniors, and two sophomores began dusting their woods and polishing their irons for
practice early in April. Even before the snow had completely
gone, two returning lettermen, Ken De Mano and Stuart Anderson,
had added twenty years to their last year's average of two hundred yards for fairway drives. Stuart Anderson, who is known to
the team as their "power driver," now averages two hundred and
thirty yards for fairway drives. The five men who will play in the
contests with other schools are chosen through elimination rounds.
These top five may be challenged for their position at any time
by other members of the team. These elimination rounds, challenges, and contests are held at Arlington Country Club, which is
considered one of the toughest courses in this area. Our two highest averages, seventy-eight and eighty, are held by Ken De Mano
and Stuart Anderson.

"With a few breaks, any team has a chance to win the championship of Suburban League this year: the teams are the most
balanced in League's history," was the prediction of varsity
coach Hm Phipps. This year, with one of the strongest teams in
recent years, Niles should get that break. In the opener, Niles
won over Maine 5 to 4, following this with a 6 to 3 win over
Glenbrook. Evanston fell twice in a double-header, 5 to 2 and
16 to 15. Coming back after losing to Morton 12 to 5, the Phipps'
men beat Oak Park 2 to l. Four returning lettermen helped the
teams to this four and one start. Bill Ihne, the only returning
junior letterman, received his letter for excellent work at first
base. Southpaw Jim Tomsik returns for his second year as a
hard hitting outfielder, and "Old Timer" Bill Pegausch, with
three years on the varsity squad, is considered one of the best
catchers in the League. Captain this year, as well as last year's
captain and most valuable player, is Hal Neimer who hit .479
last year, making him second in the League. Hal does an
equally fine job at shortstop or on the pitcher's mound. Despite
the mud and rain which cut pre-season practice to one week,
:he Trojans headed the League with four wins and one loss.

Eager but soaked, the freshman and sophomore baseball teams
have had all but two games cancelled because of April showers.
Sophomores swept their opening game from Glenbrook, finishing
the nine innings with 9 runs to Glenbrook's 2. Evanston squeezed
by the soph squad in their second game, 8 to 5. Although hurt by
the loss of Ron Lis to the varsity, the sophs still expect a good
season.
All eyes are on the freshmen this year. Glenbrook easily fell
10 to 2 before the hard hitting of the freshmen in the first game of
the year. Highlight of this game was a spectacular major league
catch by Frank W arda, who hauled down a hard hit ball in left
field with two men on and two out. By far the most exciting game
of the season was the Evanston game, where the frosh squa d
batted in two runs in the seventh to give them the lead and, holding that lead, went on to beat Evanston, 6 to 5.

FORTUNA AND PETERS PACE
TRACKMEN IN EARLY
SEASON MEETS.
With only two returning lettermen, John Sefick and Dick
Rosenfield, the varsity track team lacks experience and depth.
However, in the mile run two seniors, Dave Murie and Don
Peters, in early season performances have done well. Peters
placed third in the Suburban League indoor meet and first in
the Lake Shore meet. Murie placed third in the Lake Shore
meet. In the 440 yard dash Dick Rosenfield, a returning letterman, was hampered by a pulled leg muscle. However, Tom
Baumann, a junior, placed fourth in the Suburban League indoor meet. John Sefick, the second returning letterman, also
has shown promise. At the Lake Shore meet he captured a ribbon in the pole vault. The most promising of all Trojan runners
is Frank Fortuna, a junior sprinter who won the 100 yard dash

again won first place in the Homecoming

By the bus load they're oH to the Regionals at Glenbrook! Through victory and defeat our three cheerleading squads literally "knocked themselves out" sparking
the enthusiasm of the fans! (Who will ever forget the
varsity cheerleader who fainted from excitement during the Regionals?) Selected by a committee composed
of a member of the faculty, Pep Club, N-Club, Student
Council, and cheerleading sponsor, candidates for the
squad were selected on basis of co-ordination, voice,
and spirit. Cheerleaders practice three days a week
under the direction of Mrs. Marie Wise, sponsor; they
work on co-ordination of jumps, yells, and motions. This
year for the first time the freshmen had their own cheerleaders to support their teams.

IS ATHLETIC, AESTHETIC,
AND SOCIAL.
What 1s GAA? To freshmen, GAA is the club
to which they can turn for friends and fun. To
sophomores, GAA is a way of enjoying after
school hours, of relieving school tension, and of
assuming responsibility by being a sports manager. To juniors, GAA offers the opportunity of
being treasurer or secretary, of attending GAA
Leadership Camp, and of developing specific
sport interests. To seniors, GAA means leadership,
through the vice-presidency and presidency; rewards, through receiving the Arlene M. Merz
Scholarship; the experience of trying out one's
vocational interests while still in high school.
GAA is athletic, offering a well-rounded program which includes horsebackriding, volleyball,
tumbling, bowling, golf, and softball. Tournaments,
trophies and awards add incentive to participation. GAA is aesthetic, offering modern dance and
synchronized swimming. In the water show and
the modern dance program, the GAA girls are
given opportunities to demonstrate for the public
those skills which they have learned. GAA is
social, sponsoring the Christmas Dance and
Spring Turn-about, entertaining at the Old Folk's
Home, entering a float in the Homecoming Parade,
and attending playdays.
Through coordination of these many activities,
GAA achieves its goals of teamwork and sportsmanship.
As March was one of the
busiest months,
Executive Board members Nancy Phillips {President),
Iris Sonkin {Secretary), Debbie Rothholtz (Vice-President),
and Betty Farwell {Treasurer), consult the bulletin board
for the dates on the T. V. program and Horse Show.

��THE SUN SHINES
ON HOMECOMING '56!
After days of sawing wood, hammering
nails, raiding the local stores for crepe paper,
chicken wire, and paper napkins, and working late into the night, the big day arrivedHomecoming '56.
Homecoming morning found us up at six,
shivering while we stuHed, stapled, and
worried. The float we thought would never
be completed was finally finished. We lhen
he:rded for Oakton Park to take our place in
line for the traditional Homecoming parade.
How we laughed as G.A.A.'s whale spouted!
How we prayed when the "N" Club's lion
barely missed the teleohone wires! These
are the moments we will never, ever forget.
We cheered, we laughed, we sang throughout our memorable parade!
"Go, team, go-fight, team, fight!" echoed
through the stands, as we wildly cheered on
our team during the warm autumn afternoon.
After the game we rushed home to catch a
"wink of sleep" before the dance. We hurriedly dressed, made the final checkup on
our face and curls, arid left for an evening
of dancing to the music of Don Faber,
talking, and just plain fun at the "Sideline
Shuttle." Soon-too soon-the clock struck
twelve, and Homecoming '56 became a
memory of a golden October day and a
romantic, music-filled night.
Honorary "N" Club members Morie
Warde, Betty Fisher, Jan Minors, end
Barb Thompson cheer excitedly on hecring that the "N" Club's lion hos won
first place.
Jimmy Tomsik, with an extra burst of
speed and power, stops a dangerous
Morton advance towards Niles' goal
line.
The "Sideline Shuffle" climaxes
celebration of Homecoming, 1956.
During intermission at the Homecoming Dance , Dick Mochas and Warren
Hanson, Nilehi's own budding musicians, praise Don Faber's musical
style to Renee Baron, Barb Maurus,
Irene Weinberg, and Chuck Esposito.

the
��"DECK THE HALLS WITH
BOUGHS OF HOLLY."
As choruses of "Hallelujah, Hallelujah" echoed through
the halls, we knew that the "season to be jolly" was fas t
approaching. Disregarding our usual school worries, we
concentrated on such major problems as what type of
gift to give our homeroom teacher, whom we should go to
the dance with, and who could have the first party of the
holiday season.
We decorated the halls and rooms with mistletoe and
holly, bought Christmas presents, and practiced for
Vespers. When the choral groups blended their voices
with beautiful harmony in "Silent Night" and "Adeste
Fidelis", our hearts filled with happiness and awe.
W ho knows, maybe Santa Claus is coming to
Nilehi? Vicki Day and Donna Bistolfo think so
as they hurriedly decorate their homeroom 's
Christmas tree.
..
All of the choral groups combine their voices
at th e finale of the Vespers in the traditional
"Hallelujah Chorus."
Arriving at the Christmas Dance, we discovered that
our gym had become a "Winter Wonde rland." Greeted
by a huge, smiling snowman, w ith a huge snowflake
twirling over our heads, w e swayed to the music of Bob
Stevens. And best of all, when the strains of "Good Night
Sweetheart" brought our e vening to a close, we could
look forward to two whole weeks of sleeping late and
enjoying the luxury of "Time On My Hands."
Dave Cleven and Jan Peterson, entering a "Winter W onderla nd," are
greeted by Mr. and Mrs . Snowman.

During the Chris tmas Vespers, Nancy Scanlon
and the entire audience rise to sing "Joy to
the World."

�IS "OUT OF THIS WORLD!"
Run as smoothly as a successful Broadway show,
Nilehi's Reflections Revelries of 1957 was "OUT OF THIS
WORLD" in theme, production, and talent. Of the seventeen acts from Earth sent to Chino (Jay Wollin) and Zeeta
(Jill Linn), rulers of the planet, only the three best were
permitted to remain "OUT OF THIS WORLD." The feeling
of tension, which had gripped the contestants from the
opening curtain, was experienced by the tightly packed
audience as the judging took place. Mr. Burr Tillstrom.
creator of the Kuklapolitans, Mrs. Edith Kraft of the Lincolnwood Little Theatre, and Mr. Charles M. Feingarten, Director of the Feingarten Art Galleries had a very d lfficult time
in selecting the acts which were "the most"; for the first
time there was a three way tie for first place! The announcement that the Twilighters, a student band, "Alice
and Algernon," presented by those prim but lovely ladies
from Boston, and the original instrumental of Dick Mochas
and Frank Milazzo on the drums and guitar were the
winners brought a round of applause which would be
envied by professionals.
The credit for the success of the show goes to the directors, Mr. 0. T. Hendrickson and Mrs. Lou Ann Moran. and
to Miss Virginia Stemp for writing the script. The three
crews-make-up , stage, and lights worked closely together to make Reflections Reveleries of 1957 "out of this
world."

FILLED WITH DREAMS-

Prom King Jimmy Hartmann and Prom Queen
Joyce Holtz lead the Grand March joined by
Chas Mark, Barb Larsen, Keith Sorenson,
Nancy Harris, Malcolm Maclean, and Carol
Schweger.
The magic night finally arrived! At seven o'clock our
evening began with a coketail party at the home of a
friend. At nine, we floated into the Grand Ballroom of the
Edgewater Beach Hotel to the music of the fabulous Duke
Ellington. The giant ballroom hushed as Bill Ihne, Junior
Class President, crowned the King and Queen of the Junior
Prom and presented the traditional bouquet of flowers to
the queen. After the Grand March, a rainbow of pink,
powder blue, and yellow formals swayed to the heavenly
music until the strains of ''I'll See You In My Dreams"
brought our Prom to a close. Then we were off to the Chez
Paree, Boulevard Room, or Empire Room for more dining
and dancing.
Sunrise brought breakfast with our friends, and as soon
as we had devoured the last strip of bacon and the last
roll, we were off to Lake Geneva, Crystal Lake, or Powers
Lake for a g lorious day of swimming, water skiing, relaxing, and sleeping under the bright sun. All to soon the
moon and stars came out, and all that remained of a
magic weekend was a silver dance program and a faded
gardenia.

�SENIORS WRITE AN
END AND A BEGINNING.
Roslyn Virgilio interrupts Jay Wollin's studying as she asks, "Do you want to check my
pass?"
What is a senior? The answer depends on your point of
view. To a freshman or sophomore, a senior is that
obnoxious person who is always right; to a junior, a
senior is that "big wheel" in whose shoes he longs to be.
But to us, who finally find ourselves at the top of the heap,
to be a senior is to serve by acting as "Big BrothBrs and
Sisters" to the freshmen and by supervising hall traffic
and study halls. To be a senior is to provide leadership
as editor of the Nilehilite or Reflections or as president ot
Student Council. To be a senior is to worry over class rank
and discuss Shakespeare as well as last night's date. To
be a senior is to prepare for the future by taking College
Entrance Board Exams and visiting Michigan, Grinnell,
and the University of Illinois. To be a senior is to enjoy
every stimulating class, to spend long hours with our
friends discussing ''life", to make the most of every game,
dance, or party because "This is our last." In short, to be
a senior is to be self-confident, yet full of self-doubt;
adventurous, yet afraid; happy, yet sad. To l:;e a senior
is to write an end and a beginning.
Members o! the Senior Class Cabinet, who are elected by their homerooms, plan such major events
as Homecoming, the Senior Dance, and Graduation. S:anding: Stan Bennett, Paul Grabow, Julie
Stockmar. Larry Schildgren, Dick Mochas , Pat Hagan , Dick Krauss, Art Wittkamp, and Norm Garland. Seated: Mary Meehan, Becky Barker, Dave Horsman, Lela Heim, Pat Baumann, Mr. Hendrickson (Sponsor), Ron Korsan (Second Semester Vice-President), Frank Kiszely (President), Doug Wold
(First Semester Vice-President), and Judy Lewis (Treasurer).

JUNIORS HAVE THE BEST OF TWO WORLDS.
"Do you like it?" Roger Cope's ring will soon be
on a chain around Alice Merwi1z's neck.
What is a junior? A taller sophomore? Definitely not!
A sophisticated senior? Not quite. The junior has the
best of two worlds. To be a junior is to wear one's new
importance as self conciously as a first formal; to become aware of one's self as "that handsome guy who
plays forward" or that "pretty girl with the blonde pony
tail." To be a junior is to find out that a real "big wheel"
is more than big talk, that power brings responsibilities
like living up to expectations of teachers and parents
and underclassmen. To be a junior is to work harder
than ever in history and English and French; to worry a
little over class rank, College Boards, and college
entrance requirements. It is to hope to be among the
lucky five per cent tapped for National Honor Society;
to thrill over driving that sleek red convertible; to wait
for the phone to ring; to know the independence of that
first paycheck; to pray for a date for that big night, the
Prom. To be a junior is to be all of these-foolish, wise
- but wonderfully alive!

Eklund, Ron Denley, Mr. Larson (Sponsor), Mark Johnson, Ron Lis, Jim Allen. Seated: Judy Sonneborn, Mitch Portugal, Susan Stockmar, Bob Dilg, Eddie Copp, Doug Spengler, Rick Ricordati, Jack
Cooper (Vice-President), Gene Fogarty (President), Judy Comiano (Secretary).
SOPHOMORES ARE BOTH "FOOLISH AND WISE".
What is a sophomore? To a freshman, a sophomore
is that lordly creature who thinks his mission in life is to
keep his inferiors in place. To Mr. Webster, on the other
hand, a sophomore is a species who, like the Sophists,
is "foolish and wise". But to us who finally find ourselves "second termers", to be a sophomore is to tease
the freshmen by initiating them with lipstick at the first
football game; to ambulate around the halls with an
air of "This is my world"; to dash to Roundy's for a
quick lunch of hamburger and french fries. To be a
sophomore is to build a bigger and better float for the
Homecoming Parade; to make our social debut at the
Christmas Dance; to put together an act that tops the
best of Reflections Revelry. To be a sophomore is to
know "Pat" and "Bill" and "Suzy"; to size up just how
much work is necessary for a "gentleman's grade"
from Mr. Hussey, Mr. Blair, or Mrs. Baker; to make
resolutions to bring up those grades ... well, maybe,
tomorrow. Yes, to be a sophomore is to have time- two
more years- to decide whether to be "foolish or wise."
141
"What time shall I pick you up?" Between classes Riley
Morgan, Lynn Hicks, Karen Julian, and Bill McGrath make
plans for the weekend.

�Elected late in the year, members of the freshman cabmet assume responsibility of leadership of
over eight hundred freshmen. Standing: Mrs. Moran (Sponsor), Jim Trendel, Mike Hirschtick, Mary
Maselli, Jerry Rezman, Toann Santner, Chuck Ekstrom, Carolyn Obermeier, Paul Macaluso, Bonnie

FRESHMEN ARE "BEWITCHED, BOTHERED, AND BEWILDERED".
Freshmen! Heckled by sophomores, frowned at by
juniors, ignored by seniors, a freshman is the lowliest
of creatures to everyone except himself. To be a freshman is to be "bewitched, bothered, and bewildered";
to buy elevator passes and pogo sticks and carry a
brief case and ask "May I sharpen my pencil?" To be
a freshman is to be eager and brash and uncertain; to
wave one's hand when the teacher questions; to swagger and shove and squirm; to ignore the girls, cold
shoulder the boys, and secretly hope for the best! To
be a freshman is to hate one's self, but never let on; to
long to grow up, but dread to change; to pretend to
know everything, but secretly be racked with doubt; to
scorn adults, but suspect they're right. To be a freshman
is to wear braces and grow out of one's clothes; to
blush, and suffer, and wait, knowing "Tomorrow the
World"!

SCHOOLS MUST BE THE
"FINEST EXAMPLE OF
DEMOCRATIC LIVING".
Dr. Rinehart is the new superintendent of Niles Township High School. Before coming to Niles, he was Superintendent of Schools in Perrysburg and Yellow Springs,
Ohio, for twelve years. This year, he received his Ph. D.
degree from Ohio State University.
As superintendent, he is responsible for countless
functions, including the hiring of teachers, the educational co-ordinating of administrative duties, and the
working out of the budget. One of Dr. Rinehart's pressing current problems is the building of Niles West to
accommodate the constantly increasing enrollment.
However, Dr. Rinehart isn't concerned with administrative functions only. He believes that the primary
purpose of education is to make the school the "finest
exemplification of democratic living possible and an
agency for the understanding, reinterpretation, and
refinement of. the values and ideals that characterize
such living." "Democratic living" infers more than a
mere form of government; it implies a form of social organization, a mode or a process of living together.
Implied in the philosophy are the following essentials:
first, "respect for an optimal development of human
personality"; second, "faith that optimal development
of the individual can best be attained by living and
working together for the common good of all"; and
third, "faith in the free play of intelligence in the solution of individual and group problems."
In addition to his functions at Niles, Dr. Rinehart is a
member of the National Education Association, Illinois
Education Association, Illinois Association of School
Boards, the Illinois Association of School Administrators, the American Association of School Administrators, and numerous other professional organizations.
He was elected to Who's Who in American Education
in 1955.
Mr. Houghton, assistant superintendent, checks on the building
of the West Division of Niles Township High School.
Working with Dr. Rinehart is Mr. Paul J.
Houghton, Assistant Superintendent, who helps
Dr. Rinehart in all phases of school administration. Mr. Houghton is in his thirtieth year of
teaching in the schools of Illinois. The first
twelve years he spent as math teacher and
Athletic Director and Coach of all sports at
Marion High School in Marion, Illinois. He spent
the next seventeen years at Anna Jonesboro
High School in Anna, Illinois. There, for nine
years, he taught mathematics and acted as
Athletic Director. The last four years he held
the position of assistant principal. From 1948 to
1956 he was principal of Anna Jonesboro High
School.
He is in his third year of office as secretary
of the Illinois Association of Secondary School
Principals, and is a member of the Advisory
Committee of the National Association of
Secondary School principals.
Dr. Rinehart's biggest problem
is finding time to co-ordinate the
functions of the school, to become
acquainted with the students, and
to learn about his new surroundings.
163
�"I don't know a group of people who come nearer
performing selfless public service", writes Mr. Charles
Wilson, Superintendent of Schools in Highland Park, in
discussing the role of the school board in his recent
book, A Teacher is a Person. A school board member
must have the financial genius of a Rockefeller, the
vision of a Frank Lloyd Wright, the diplomacy of a
Dulles, and the shrewdness of a Hemy Ford. Monthly,
the elected seven man Board of School District 219, the
:-epresentatives of the citizens to whom the schools belong, wrestles with problems of e:.l.ucational philosophy,
personnel, salaries, budgets, and a building program
to provide the setting for our "green years."
In September, 1957, the West Division of Niles
Township High School will open its doors to
2000 students.
BOARD AND PARENTS PROVIDE
Mr. Clyde P. Anderson {President) and board members Leo J. Bushey, Dr. John H. Speer, William

THE SETTING FOR OUR GREEN YEARS.
Mr. Hugh McGee, Mrs. Paul Houghton, Mr. George Adams, Mr. John Hallberg, Mr. Warren Meyer,
and Mrs. Marjorie Schwab were quests of the P.T.A. at the annual buffet.
�"Every school principal has, as his most important responsibility, the duty of maintaining
or, if possible, improving the quality of instruction in his school." Mr. Harold Ohlson and Mr.
John Gach, who are principals of the East and
West Divisions of Niles Township High School,
have a long list of duties which include: working on the design and development of the curriculum; helping teachers by assigning them to
work for which they are best qualified, providing them with the supply of materials and services they need to conduct their classes, and by
conferring with them about the teaching problems they encounter; establishing a guidance
system which will assist each student, personally and individually; performing such
managerial duties as construction of a 3chedule
of classes, arranging for student progress reporting, maintaining records and reports, watching conditions in the school plant so that the
safety, health, and welfare of student and
teacher personnel are secure. Furthermore, the
principal is responsible for "discipline"; however, the general policy is to use discipline
problems to bring students up to a higher level
of maturity and self control.
In addition to the above duties the principal
works closely with the superintendent on matters of policy development and acts, at all times,
Mr. Harold Ohlson directs the instruction of 1200 students
as principal of the East Division.
COORDINATING THE EAST AND WEST

Ohlson concerning a student discipline case.

�within the framework of adopted policy. Moreover, community relations involve the principal
directly since he must represent the school to
individuals, agencies, and organizations in the
community, dealing with them in a cooperative,
friendly spirit while upholding the aims and
policies of the school.
The assistant principal at each class level
shares in the general duties enumerated above.
Specifically, the assistant principals are each
directly assigned to the supervision of student
personnel and extra curricular activities of a
particular class level. In the East Division, the
principals have the particular responsibility of
guiding students toward qualifications for
diplomas. Related to this is guidance in making post-graduation plans. In the West Division,
the principals have the particular responsibility
of bridging the gap between elementary school
and high school.
A major problem of this year and next has
been and will continue to be coordinating the
entire administrative and instructional program
of the East and West Divisions. Furthermore, all
extracurricukff activities, fee collecting, text
book issue, materials and equlpment issue,
summer school operations, adult evening school
operations, and P.T.A. activities must be coordinated between the two schools.

GUIDANCE STAFF HELP STUDENTS WITH
In the 1956-57 school year Niles Township High School.
for the first time, centralized its guidance services in a
staff of counselors under the direction of Dr. Arthur Ryden.
Previous to this year, guidance was the responsibility of
the homeroom teacher who kept student records, did
educational and vocational planning, and gave personal
guidance when necessary. Although the homeroom teachers have continued, to some degree, with these duties, the
major responsibility for these services now is centered in
a staff of six professionally trained counselors.
As head of this department, Dr. Ryden is primarily concerned with coordinating the programs of the individual
members of his department. Furthermore, he must carry
out the directives and policies of the administration concerning the guidance program in both the East and West
Divisions. Working with him are Miss M::rrguerite Cuddy,
in charge of the testing program; Mr. William Lewis and
Miss Jeanne Goodson, in charge of providing school
adjustment counseling; Mr. Harry Sorta!, in charge of
vocational counseling; Mr. 0. H. Ruyle, in charge of
vocational and military counseling; and Mrs. Annette
Davis in charge of helping students solve personal and
social adjustment problems.

SPECIALISTS CONSTANTLY
Assisting the seventy per cent of Nilehi students who
attend college are Miss Aune Toivola and Miss
Margaret deBooy. Miss Toivola guides the student in
selecting the right college by interviewing each senior,
arranging conferences for students with some forty-six
college representatives, and providing information
about colleges by means of assemblies, films, and such
special events as the Panhellenic tea on March 13. This
year Miss Toivola has interviewed 432 seniors who are
attending some seventy different colleges, with Illinois,
Northwestern, Illinois Institute of Technology, Lake
Forest. Bradley, U. of Colorado, Northern Illinois State,
University of Miami. University of Wisconsin and
Michigan drawing the greatest numbers.
Miss deBooy is faculty chairman of scholarships
which were approximately sixty-five in number last
year. (This figure does not include those granted
directly to the individual.) She is also college admissions administrator with the responsibility of processing
some 650 college applications. In addition, she supervises the publication of the weekly calendar.

IMPROVE SERVICES
As director of curriculum Dr. Vemon Haubrich has
the responsibility of coordinating the processes of teaching, the revising of materials, and the changing of the
pattern of the curriculum. He must evaluate such
changes and make further recommendations. This year
has seen the continued development of ability groupings, the introduction of multiple period sections in
English and social studies at the freshman level. the
organization of the developmental program in English,
and the continuation in the science and English department of the Critical Thinking Study in collaboration
with the Illinois Curriculum Committee under the direction of the University of Illinois.
Mr. Schubert and his assistant, Mr. Hooseline, are
familiar faces to most students. Tardy? Absent? Go to

2500 students is the responsibility of the attendance
department. In any single month, some 1600 class
admits, both worthy and unworthy, some 1400 pass
slips to class, and some 400 detentions for students
tardy without acceptable reasons, are issued. In addition, the attendance office composes a daily list of
absent students to simplify the taking of attendance by
individual teachers.

salads, eight hundred sandwiches (one thousand, if
beef burgers are on the menu), and top it all off with
forty pies, "homemade" by the staff. According to Mrs.
McNeilL the biggest problem is the lack of space for
handling such quantities of food. However, despite
such minor catastrophes as Mrs. McNeill's being
drenched in fruit juice, leaving the applesauce cake in
ihe oven all night, and having to find a substitute for
two hundred pounds of meat which wasn't delivered,
lunch is served from eleven to one.
Cleaning 108 rooms, two cafeterias, two gyms and
locker rooms, the kitchen, and the assembly hall are
the daily duties of Mr. Pirovano and his staff. The major
maintenance problem is the keeping in good condition
those areas which are used by the public as well as
the student body. The hardest port of a custodian's job
is the scheduling of custodial work so as not to interfere with classroom or school activities.
Mrs. Olga Ruggeri records the com·
bination and serial numbers of student
locks.

THANKSGIVING DAY
As tomorrow is Thanksgiving
Day, it is appropriate for us to look
back upon the previous Thanksgiv
ings.
Thanksgiving meant to the Pil
grims that God had blessed them.
Their crops were safely gathered.
They were in a land o f freedom
where they could worship as they
pleased. They felt assured o f a hap
pier winter than previous ones. T o
our forefathers who moved west
ward and became farmers it meant
the *md o f season’s work. N ow was
the time for rejoicing and the gath
ering o f friends and relatives.
T o you and me it means a day
when we pause to thank God for
our many advantages, our homes,
our free educational system and
our constitutional rights.

EDITORIAL
It is rather embarrassing es well
as humorous at times to have one’s
name mispronounced or misspelled.
Often this is very displeasing to the
individual concerned.
Like every other high school, ours
has a distinct name o f its own; how
ever, recent observations in the Chi
cago newspapers and others, referr
ing to our school have used the
name incorrectly.
Incorrect names used in reference
to the Niles Township High School
can be very confusing.
For example the name, Niles
High School; this would lead read
ers to believe that the school is lo
cated in the town o f Niles; Niles
Center High School would assumably influence people to think that
the school was erected by the towns
people o f Niles Center instead o f
the entire population of this town
ship.
Every student and teacher should
help make clear to everyone that the
correct name o f our school is Niles
Township High School. The legal
name is Niles Township Commun
ity High School. Often the iitle has

Trojan Basketball News
GRIDIRON NEWS
The Trojan’s basketball season
will open this evening at New Trier.
"Flip” Boyk, star basketball player,
hopes to chalk up a new record this
season. W ith Boyk on the Varsity,
the maple five will promise a hearty
fight to the finish in the Northeast
Conference.
Basketball practice started M on
day ,Nov.6,with a turnout o f 75 boys.
Only four boys were lost from last
year’s squad,and two o f the four were
on the first string. There will be three
teams: Varsity, Junior Varsity, and
Freshman.The first conference game
will be held here, at Nilehi, on Dec.
1, against Arlington.
There is also an intramural bas
ketball tournament which began
Nov. 8. Thirty-six teams will play
three rounds. The winner o f each
gym period will enter into a school
championship play-off.
After reviewing the current foot
ball season, Nilehi students may
sit back and feel comfortably satis
fied with a fairly successful cam
paign.
Coach Isaacson’s Varsity started
o ff in a very shaky manner, losing
games to Lake Forest and Crystal
Lake.
Both o f these losses were due main
ly to slow development o f players.
The team came back after this to
win consecutive games from Leyden
and Libertyville.
In the first annual Homecoming
game, which was a success, the
Trojans played good ball until the
last quarterwhen Arlington Heights
put over seven points to tie the score.
This game was probably the hard
est for the Nilehi students to accept.
It was undoubtedly the most ex
citing game o f the year. In the last
game o f season against W oodstock,
the Trojans w on 12—0. The Varsity
had anticipated a small line and
generally weak team. Instead, this
team fought them to a standstill
until the third quarrer when Nilehi
scored the winning points.
“ Beany” Field, the Trojan star
kicker, was voted the M ost Valuable
Player Award by the rest o f his team
mates. The Nilehi team ended the
season in a tie for fourth place with
Leyden.The three leaders were Crys
tal Lake, Lake Forest, and Arling
ton Heights in their respective or
der.
See the game tonight at New Trier.
Following the initiation o f the
freshmen, the membership o f the
Girls’ AthleticAssociation increased
greatly. The total roll is 175.
Ten members o f the group at
tended the Play Day at the Leyden
School recently.
At the Award Assembly on N ov
ember 14, the upperclassmen receiv
ed their letters earned last year.
Doris Anderson, a senior, obtained
h er'T ’which is the second highest
award given.
One aim o f the G. A. A. is to have
the Spring Play Day for this area.
Another is to send four members
to the official camp at Lake Geneva,
W isconsin next summer.
SWIMMING
Twenty boys reported for the
swimming team November 6th, and
more were expected to enroll. The
Northwestern A. A. U. team, under
the direction o f T om Robinson, will
open the season here with an exhiition swimming meet, the w eek
end o f December 9th. This perform
ance is given to help raise funds
for the United States Olympic team

One of tHolfiialitiSk df vital iniportance^ior a^ilCCessful high school
is school: spirit . This may,: be de
fined as the amount of|nierest tak
en by the students in afl scholastic
activities, and the full support of
them. This spirit is greatly reflect
ed by the attendance at all schol
astic functions.
There, i s ^ o excuse for small at
tendance, atj(.yarious activities. A l
most every student has at his dis
posal amaiftiVity card which enti
tles him to admittance to all sport
events and many social gatherings.
Out, cheerleaders have been rath
er discouraged in the past,due to
your indifference. They are giving
their time to perform the functions
of'leading the cheering section,and
you have not cooperated as you
should have. Allow them to enjoy
their work by responding to all
their requests. Make them feel as if
you appreciate what they are doing
by responding with a cheer.
The winter season is now in progress, and each student should give
his loyal support in all future events,
whether .it be a basketball game,
swimming meet, or otherwise. Come
out and help your school teams to
victory by your invigorating spirit.
They need your assistance; don’t fail
them. Let’s feel as if we did our ut
most to lead them to victory.

BASKETBALL NEWS SWIMMING
Tonight the Trojans are" going
to play Warren at Warren. Let’s
have tiie same sized crowd go out
to Warren that was at the last game.
Support your team!
Friday, December 1, saw Niles
Township’s Trojans play and win
their first home basketball game of
the season. Arlington Heights was
the unlucky opponent. Although
The Arlington basketeers put up a
galent fight, it was to no avail; the
mighty men of Troy could not be
stopped! The Trepan attack wasn’t
so devastating in tKe first half, but
in the Second, tile ¿¡great machine
started to move. Boyk and Williams
played fine games and were the leadiiig*' scorers, Williams having 16
points and Boyk, having 15. Fields,
•Ford,, apd Shbeheberger flayed fine
defensive game as guard. Bauman
and FEuscher played well at the for
ward ¿position they shared. Some
very capable reserve work was done
by Shure, Baumhart, and Domas.
Oh yes, the score; 47 to 26, in favor
of Niles Township. The junior var
sity had a more difficult time in their
contest. Of course they ended up on
the long end of the score too, but
they had to fight off attack after att
ack that, if they wouldn’t have been
good, might have tied the score. Jarret, Padraza, and Taylor played well
Niles Township 28; Arlington 22
INTRAMURAL BASKETBALL
Last week end marked the com
pletion of the first round of intra
mural basketball. Of the thirty-six
teams in the tournament seven re
main undefeated while the same
number have yet to win their first
game. The undefeated teams are the
BloomerBoys,Basketeers,Mermaids
Raiders, Hungry Five, Screw Balls,
Kerley’s Kids. Perhaps this report
will encourage teams that are at the
bottom to go out there and fight
during the second round.
The twelve best girl swimmers
will compete in a girl’s intra-mural
swiming meet to be held tonight.
Those chosen were, S. Greiner,A.
Becker, V. Pearson, C. Heinz, V
Nordin, C. Blameuser, A. Weber,
U, Mohren, C. Jauniah, P. Galitz,
and J. Blameuser.
Others that will perform this eve
ning are; P. Harms, L. Schoeneberger and A. Jurasitz.
The Stock Show
Astride their mounts this evening
at the International Exposition and
Horse Show, will be two girls from
Nilehi’s junior class- Jeanne Lee
Hester and Kathryn Pewitt. Jeanne
is riding "Beauty” in jumping class
es while Kathryn is going to put
"Dark Victory” through his paces
in the five gaited class.
Jeanne has been riding in the
show since 1936 and has been awarded numerous trophies and
ribbons. Perhaps the largest is the
one obtained at the Lake Forest
show this summer, for the best all
around contestant.
Kathryn made her first entrance
into the show this summer and has
had a very successful start.

Have you bought your Christmas
seals yet? Do you know why you are
asked to buy them?
Christmas seals are sold for the
prevention of tuberculosis. Your
support is wanted and needed for
this worthy cause.
The state helps protect you from
this dreaded disease by enforcing
a law requiring the pasteurization
of milk. You can do your part in
the fight, against tuberculosis by
buying Christmas seals.
So if you haven’t bought yours,
do so now!

Who S aid Jams on the Stairway!
Why should our student body
have traffic jams on the stairways?
Just suppose George Warner,
Fritz Parobek, and Kenneth Kellen
are late to class and are running
down the stairs to report to 107 for
an excuse slip. They meet Corny
Blameuser Jack Ellis, Richard Kerley and Dick Sullivan storming
their way up to room 213; they
collide! Wouldn’t it be a catastrophe
if Warner broke his leg trying to
dodge out of Corny’s way!Just think
of our bowling man with a broken
leg!
This accident could be avoided in
the following ways:
1. People going from 1st floor
to second, use south stairs.
2. People going from second,to
first floor use the north stairs.
Since our school is not equipped
with stop and go lights our students
are asked to cooperate, to keep our
traffic out of danger by following
the rules listed above.

THE YULE LOG
The Yule log was formerly put on
the hearth on Christmas Eve as a
foundation for the fire, and in some
places in Europe it is still brought
in from the woods with much cer
emony. It is the custom that as long
as the log burns, the feasting and
merriment continue. You may be
sure that the largest and roughest
log is brought in.
FAMILY NITE
Family nite was a huge success!
The main event was in the boy’s
gym, where a local talent program
was given by the students.
The Christmas tree and Christmas
carols, combined with the dancing
and card playing, showed that the
Christmas spirit had entered Nilehi.
Cake and sandwiches were served
in the cafeteria to the hungrypeople.
The teachers who helped plan Fa
mily night are to be highly congra
tulated.
Club Has Xmas Meeting
The Foreign Language Club had
its fourth meeting on Tuesday, Dec
ember 19, in the assembly room.
Reports on Christmas customs in
other lands were followed by the
singing of carols in French, Latin,
Spanish, and German.
The meeting was concluded with
"Silent Night” sung in the foreign
languages by the group.
Miss Kranz and Miss Ronalds are
the sponsors of this club.
Boys! Watch that mistletoe.
Girls! Leap Year is coming.

’Tis the day before Xmas vacation
at Nilehi,
Three long months of school have
already gone by.
The holiday spirit pervades the
whole place,
And has its reflection on every
one’s face.
No homework is given, as is always
the rule,
Whenever we have a vacation from
this school,
The trimmings are festive, the
boughs hung with care,
A strong smell of balsam and fir
fills the air.
At the end of the long-awaited last
day,
The students and teachers rush out
feeling gay,
As the busses roll off, they send up
a cheer"Merry Xmas to all, and a Happy
New Year.”

A GOOD RESOLUTION
Now that we have come upon the
last two weeks of the first semester,
can you look back at the school
year and say to yourself, "I have
accomplished something; I have
something to be proud of”? Or are
you among those who got just under
"the wire” or who failed one or more
studies? Are you afraid of the semes
ter exams? Or can you face them
with the spirit of just another day’s
work?
In our school there is no excuse
for any student to obtain poor marks
with all the facilities and advantages
offered us. W e should make use of
our library and study periods, and
do our best in each day’s work.
W e are not hurting anyone but
ourselves by sliding through, for
avoiding hard work and responsi
bility in our high school days will
only make us less able to face the
future.
Since this is the beginning of the
new year, let’s resolve that we will
not be satisfied with a quality of
work below our capacity.
D. A. R. WINNER
Out of the four girls nominated
for the D. A. R. award, Ruby Bowser,
senior, was voted the winner by stud
ents and teachers. Doris Anderson,

REFLECTIONS
On A Vacation
The Christmas Vacation witness
ed the enterprising and unselfish
yearbooksters with sharpened wits
and pencils, and reams of paper, brav
ing the wintery gales to start work
in earnest on our 1940 publication.
Typewriters clattered as nimble fin
gers flashed across the keys; pens
scraped their message across the
pages as laboring hands and minds
strove to be witty and creative; the
shuffling of papers and feet, muffled
whispers, and an occasional burst of
laughter showed that the annual
staff was at work. Then silence once
again reigned on the third floor.
The 1940 term found many stu
dents borrowing paper and striving
to write with scrubby, eraserless
pencils, and, teachers, that fagged
out look wasn't the result of New
Year’s Eve.
The present goal of the Annual
Staff is a sixty-four page Year Book
with some three hundred pictures
including every activity, department,
and person in the school.

Aquatic News
Wednesday, January 3, along aquatic ways,we saw Maine Twp. vs.
Nilehi in the Trojan pool. Some of
the events were the 200 yd. free sty
le relay, 50 yd. free style, 50 yd.
breaststroke, 50 yd. backstroke, 100
yd. free style, 150 yd. medley relay,
and diving. Outstanding among the
Trojan swimmers were J. Hegarty
and W. Kunkle. Maine has a champ
ionship team this year and the Tro
jans gained much needed experi
ence in this encounter. Spectators
witnessed excellent swimming style
and form. Armin Mayer was unable
to compete in the diving events due
to a back injury.
G. A . A . W ill Entertain
The G.A.A. is sponsoring a spe
cial program for representatives of
eleven neighboring schools. This
event will be January 19 at four
o’clock.
Following the round table dis
cussion and scheduled program,din
ner will be served. The visitors will
also be the guests of the G.A.A. to
attend the Leyden-Nilehi basket
ball game played the same evening.
The schools represented will be
Arlington Heights, Leyden, Libertyville,New Trier,Woodstock, Warren
Evanston, Maine Township, North
brook, Crystal Lake, and Lake
Forest.
Tonight the trojan shave an even
chance of getting their revenge for
the sccessive defeats when they go
to Libertyville for two games.
On Dec. 20, the Niles Township
teams and a large contingent of root
ers journeyed to Lake Forest where
the Trojan teams suffered defeat.
In the Junior-Varsity game Podraza was high point man with ten
points. The Junior-Trojans put on
a thrilling rally in the final minutes
but it fell short by three points.
Lake Forest won 24-21, overcoming
a Niles Township lead of 15-12 at
the half.
TheVarsity game was close, even
though Lake Forest lead led at the
half 23-20, until the third period
when our opponents began to roll
up the points. “ Flip” Boyk was high
man for the Trojans again, gamer
ing 23 points, but despite this num
ber, the game ended 45-35, Lake For
est’s favor. The Varsity might have
won its game if Boyk’s teamates had
given him some help. Bauman roll
ed up a nice tenpoints but the usu
ally reliable Williams was held to
two, and Ford and Field drew noth
ing for their efforts.
Friday night, Jan. 5, the Crys
tal Lake five played on our floor and
added insult to injury by defeating
our basketeers in both games. The
Crystal Lake Varsity is at the top
of the conference and, as you prob
ably observed if you were there, is
a really good team. Toward the end
of the game[when our quintet seem
ed to slow down, the Lakesters
speeded up. Boyk was high man
with 9 points, although far from his
usual form. The final score was
42 - 30, Crystal Lake’s favor. Our
team had been in the lead at the
half 16 - 13.
The Junior-Varsity also lost its
game 38 - 28.
“ South of the Border”
Jane and "Ginger” Kadlec are
spending several weeks "South of
the Border” in Mexico. They left
last Fiday and plan to tour through
various towns and cities in Mexico.

EDITORIAL
Since we, the students of Niles
Township High School, like to be
considered original, we are trying
something new in the way of car
toons. It is our plan to have two
fictitious but typical characters of
Niles Township High School-any
similarity to persons living or dead
is purely coincidental-play the
leading parts, as their lives slowly
unfold before the readers of the Nilehilite. W e shall witness their trials
and tribulations,' as well as their
happy moments as they go on their
merry w ay-or as the case may be!
throughout the school year. If any
of you, Dear Readers, have any ideas
as to what we should have our lit
tle protegees doing, all suggestions
will be accepted with open arms.
See if your little brain-storm cannot
materialize into black and white.
It is the policy of the Nilhilite to
please all its readers so if there are
any kind that can be made we
would like to have you get in touch
with us. Don’t forget to let us know
how you like our little kiddies, and
remember those contributions and
suggestions!
NAME US!
"Please give us names; you know,
names are pretty important, and,
well, as long as were going to be
among you from now on as your
friends, you’ll have to have some
thing to call us by- and anyway,we’d
like to know who we are.
Give your suggestions to Miss
Fledderjohn or Ruby Bowser and
the verdict will be decided by the
journalisam class in the near future*
Do not name us, however, after any
N. T. H. S. students- our names are
are to be purely imaginary.
COME AHEAD
The journalism class extends a
sincere invitation to you to contrib
ute to this, your school paper. When
you feel you have a squib or when
you know that you’ve hit a scoop,

A Mathematical
Romance
One day in spring a girl named
Betty and a boy named Bill were
I walking down the street. They de
cided to have something to eat so
they went into a drugstore which
was 15 feet high, 60 feet wide, and
72 feet long. IHow many cubic feet
of space?! Betty’s soda cost 20 cents,
and Bill’s cost half as much. [How
much change should he have receiv
ed from a half dollar?] On the way,
Bill told Betty he loved her and ask
ed her to marry him. She agreed, and
they decided to elope the next night.
Bill said he would bring a ladder to
Betty’s window at 12 o’clock mid
night. [If her window was 30 feet
from the ground, how long a ladder
must he bring to place at a 45 angle?)
The next night was bright moon
light. At 12 o’clock Bill stole softly
up to Betty’s window with his
ladder. Just as he was about to as
cend, Betty’s 225 pound mother apI peared at her window, grabbed him
by the scruff o f the neck, and threw
him out into the yard. (If he flew 30
m.p.h. for 12 seconds, how far from
the the house did he land? How
much energy was released by Betty’s
mother?) However, another attempt
was made, which was successful.
They eloped the next week on a
streamliner which went 600 miles.
If they went 100 m.p.h. and Betty’s
mother followed on a train which
I went 60 m .p.h., how much before
I her train did the streamliner reach
I the destination? 1 They eluded her,
I however, and settled in a small town
I [ population 4,0001. They had five
children. -If the first one, was three
times as old as the third one, and
2
the third one was V as old as the
j second one, who was 6 years oldL how old was the first one?

OF MICE AND MEN
A mouse is small and weak.
His loudest call’s a squeak. .
He eats cheese in small pieces,
And sneaks up the stair
Gray, scrawny, and dirty,
With filth for his lair.
A man is bold and strong.
His favorite noise, a song.
He eats cheese in large pieces,
And sneaks up the stair.

hobby is collecting corn....and Fred
Huscher seems to prefer to try to
get his assignments in at the last
minute. Maybe you,pan get an ink

HAPPY BIRTHDAY!
Amid semester exams and sub
zero weather it was pleasant to re
call a special date, January 23. On
this memorable day the doors of
our new high school building were
opened so that the students might
write their semester exams.
The second semester last year
began two days late due to an un
foreseen snow storm which made it
impossible for classes to convene.
However the opening of the second
semester brought forth many eager
and anxious students. The first
semester in the new million dollar
high school was indeed an adven
ture not to be forgotten.
It hardly seems possible that a
year has passed so quickly. Let us
all look forward to many, many
more birthday celebrations for the
Niles Township High School.
SENIOR INVITATIONAL
On February 17, the seniors have
their big day. At that time they will
hold their invitational dance and
party. Many features are planned.
Among them are dancing, a floor
show, and refreshments. Each sen
ior has the privilege of bringing
one guest. The dance starts at 8:30
P.M; it ends at 12:00. The charge is
very little compared to the enjoy
ment that is to be had. All it is go
ing to cost you is 25 cents apiece.
Come on, Seniors, this is your party
so make it good!
Cramming Isn’t Fun
No sir! as the “ voice of exper
ience”! say plainly, “ Cramming
isn’t fun!” All semester we just
"fiddle and foodie,’’and then along
come those dreaded pieces of paper
known as examinations. Perhaps
we have an English test the next
day; we go home and study until
late at night, hardly stopping for
a breath. Then, the next day we
take the exam and don’t breathe
safely for another week. Maybe we
flunk, or maybe we pass by a "hair” .
W e then, no doubt, resolve to do
our homework every single day.

BEAT LAKE FOREST!!!!
Tonight Nilehi hopes to obtain
revenge from Lake Forest for the
beating suffered from them earlier
in the season. This evening's game
promises to be one of the most thrill
ing of the winter. Do not miss it!
Be in our gym at seven-thirty.
Since the last issue of this paper
the Trojan Varsity has suffered
two defeats in three starts, losing to
Libertyville and Crystal Lake, but
winning from Leyden.
The Libertyville game was prob
ably the most thrilling so far this
year. It was a slam-bang game with
the Trojans losing in the last mo
ments by two points.
In the Leyden game Nilehi snap
ped out of its slump and trimmed
the Eagles.
In the Crystal Lake battle the
Tigers showed that they are truly
the Class o f the Conference by
defeating the Nilehi boys 41-28.
The Nilehi Ponies won their last
three starts, and since Friday
night, by beating Crystal Lake who
were undefeated, they have a better
than even chance to take the cham
pionship.
CONGRATUIATION!
Seniors of Nilehi graduating last
semester are Anna Aiiderson, Edwin
Bold, Donald Henderson, Robert
Hoffman, Lucille Lange, Eleanor
Schramn, and Russell Warner.

SCHOOL SPIRIT ?
"Where is all our school spirit?”
asks Mr. Isaacson.Such was the to
pic of a personal interview with our
head coach. The questions and an
swers were flying and here are the
results:
Mr. Ike - "There is a fair amount of
school spirit at N. T. H. S. but
not as much as some other
schools in the league. Everybody
wants a winner but a few losses
are showing up in the team’s
backing. I feel that the time to
show real school spirit is when
the team is not doing so well.
Thatis when the team really needs
it. It’s easy to holler when you’re
winning, but it takes real spirit
to cheer them on when they are
losing.”
X - What should our school spirit
be?
Mr. Ike- "I remember when we were
playing Warren. Every member
of the Student Body and Band
was there even though Warren
has won only one game, the en
tire team was behind them.”
X - What do you think of conduct
at games?
Mr. Ike - "As a whole, our conduct
is pretty good, however I have
noticed that at the Crystal Lake
game there was a lot of unneces
sary unsportsmanlike conductSome of it came from adults. If
they don’t know how to act, the
student body should teach them.”
X - Ways to avoid bad conduct:
Mr- Ike - "I believe that every stu
dent in the school should feel that
the opponent should be con
sidered as a guest and should be
treated accordingly. The officials
are agreed upon before the game,
and we should take their decisions
as final.
“Again everybody wants to be a
winner but we should know how
to win and how to lose too!”
Say- by the way, where is our
school spirit?

WHAT’S WRONG WITH US?
With a student body as large as
ours, why doesn’t our school have
more people at the basketball
games? It has been said by good
authority that over 300 of our fel
low students have never seen their
school’s teams in action. Can it be
that they don’t have school spirit,
or don’t they understand and care
for basketball? There isn’t any
body in Niles Township who can be
accused of not having school spirit,
so it must be that basketball doesn’t
interest that indifferent fifty per
cent of our students. If the people
w
’ho say that basketball has no at
tractions for them would come to
ONLY ONE game, there would be
300 more Trojan followers. Cheer
ing a masterful long shot and hold
ing one’s breath during the mo
mentous wait for the free throw,
are thrills reserved for basketball
fans. Nilehi’s teams are a school
tradition for their quality, and this
year’s squads are not exceptions;
but their “ following” could be rated
in last place. Our last home game
is this evening, February 16,
against Warren. There is no ex
cuse for missing that game; show
your school spirit by coming. The
District Tournament starts at
Waukegan on February 28. Let’s
all go up there to cheer the Trojans
on to victory!

DOLLAR DAY
WHOZIT?
I feel it my duty, as one who has
suffered, to warn you against the
harmful effects of Dollar Day. This
atrocious day occurs semiannually,
but the only one we high school
students must beware of is the one
that occurs during our summer va
cation. These observations came
from my last Dollar Day onslaught.
“ Yesterday, I must confess, I fell
into the clutches of that most de
mon-like of thoughts, the thought
of getting something for nothing,
but I have paid and paid dearly
for my folly.
“ We left the cottage, our sum

ment which my mother and her
friend read with great interest. If

automobile, with my anatomy

dilemma.

we reached the city our forces were

See Our Last Home Game Tonight
Along th e Way
The interest in intra-mural bas
ketball has been high for the last
few weeks, and tonight it will reach
its peak with the playoff of the finals
as intermission entertainment.
Some time ago the gym classes
were divided into four teams each,
and the last three have seen some
mighty combats in the school gym
nasium. The quarter finals found
the Bloomer Boys, the Black and
Blues, the Screwballs, and Kerley’s
Kids stubbornly bowing to the more
nearly superior Mudcats, Mermaids,
Raiders,and Hungry Rive,who,with
the Basketeers, all bruised and
scarred, proudly entered the semi
finals.
Tonight we shall see our surviv
ing heroes of the semi-finals, with
a long and bloody trail behind them,
go forth into the arena. W oe unto
the weakling.
DOWN OUR A i m
The Bowling League of N.T.H.S.
got under way Monday, February
4. There are eighteen mixed teams,
eight teams bowling on Monday
and ten on Wednesday. Monday
bowlers, who are advanced, will
spend the first few weeks getting
averages. The beginners belong to
the Wednesday night teams. Of
the Monday night team, the boys
with the highest averages so far
are Allan Brauch, Bob Rieland, Har
vey Jensen, Wayne Adams, and Art
Baumhardt. The. girls who rate
best are Dorothy Gutman, Dorothy
Lund, Carole Blameuser, Virginia
Kadlec, and Joan Blameuser.
Girls’ Intra-Mural Sports
The girls of our school follow
the rules of the Women’s Division
of the American Physical Educa
tion Association and so do not spon
sor basketball tournaments play
ing boys’ rules. To take the place of
this team sport, Miss Schaefer an
nounces an intra-mural tournament
in ping pong, shuffleboard, and vol
ley ball. Every girl will participate.
Three in Row for Trojans
The evening of Feb. 2, marked a
big day for Ed Boyk and the Nilehi
teams. On this date “ Flip” set a new
record for theNortheast Conference,
smashing his previous high of 31
points with a record-making 35
points. Earlier in tne season Lake
Forest had dealt us a twin defeat
but on this occasion we gained re
venge by beating the Lakesters
twice. The Varsity ran up 57 points,
their highest this season, to the Lake
Forest Varsity’s 38. Thulstrup was
high man for the Junior Varsity as
they won 23-14.
A week later at W oodstock the
Varsity easily won 41-26 against the
conference tail-enders. Baumann
acted as high man with 19 points.
The Junior Varsity won 22-18 in a
close game to place themselves in a
three-way tie for first place.
The Nilehi team was again vic
torious in the alumni game, 36-52.
A taller and huskier Alumni bowed
to the Trojan quintet mainly because
of its lack of teamwork.
“ Hank” Carroll was high man for
the "old grads” with 6 points while
Boyk was leading the Trojans with
20. The Junior Varsity defeated
Northbrook 26-14.
Gym Class Swim-Meets
For the last two weeks Mr. Isaac
son has been conducting swimming,
diving events in the high school
pool during swim periods. In those
already held, eliminations have left
five boys for each of five events and
one novice.
Those in the five events are as

What’s The Value
Of a College Education?
I presume that all of you have
been asked that question. From the
first day of high school until you’re
handed a diploma, you’re told that
college enriches the outlook on life,
that college makes jobs easier to
secure, and so forth. You take this
all in and say,"Oh yes, I know all
that.” But do you? Do you ever
think about the facts which others
try to impress upon you?
First, the idea of getting a job.
You have been told that a man with
a college background can get farther
in any field than a man without
one. Easy to say. But do you ever
look up statistics on this, or talk to
employers or prospective job-hunt
ers?
College broadens the mind. How
much do you know about philoso
phy? Probably nothing. And I sup
pose you can carry on an intelli
gent conversation about foreign af
fairs or other things besides swing
music or dates.
You can’t just go to any col
lege your finger lands on inthe cat
alogue. And if you haven’t the remo
test idea of what you are going to
do when you get out, what’s the
sense of going?
What’s the value of college edu
cation? Nobody can tell you. You
just have to find out for yourself.

Precious Dummy
Those o f you who have been nos
ing around the Yearbook Work
Shop lately have noticed the new
arrival that is causing so much flusteration among the fairer sex of the
staff. Be calm boys! I am speaking
of the Yearbook Dummy, which is
-for those of you who are still in
the dusky shroud of uncertainty - a
model of the finished publication.
The dummy is constructed with
just as much care and precision as
is the yearbook that reaches you.
Page after page is laid out with pic
tures cut to correct size and in their
designated position.
If any twinkly-eyedyearbooksters
inform you your picture was so bad
they had to “ bleed” it and then put
it “in the gutter” just smile, look
wise, and say, “ No kiadin!” The
place where the pages go into the
binding is called the gutter, and a
bled picture is just one that has
been run to the edge of the page,
leaving no margin. Understand?

Up the Mazaruni for Diamonds
is about diamond mining in the jun
gle of South America. The most in
teresting parts of the book are the
preparations for the river traveling,
and the diamond mining itself. The
preparations include getting trink
ets and presents for the natives, se
curing necessary supplies, and hir
ing a native crew for the trip up
the Mazaruni River. There are twen
ty paddlemen, a cook, and a bow
man, who stands in the bow of the
boat, fending off rocks with a pad
dle and giving steering directions.
If you like books about exploring
and adventure, read Up the Maza
runi for Diamonds. There is some
thing happening all the time You
will like the author’s style of writing
because his descriptions are vivid,
and humor is used effectively. If you
are not acquainted with diamond mi
ning, the book will be all the more
interesting, because it will add to
your knowledge of this subject.

SWEATERS
In reds, blues, greens, and yellows
that indispensable article of winter
apparel, the sweater, reigns supreme
these chilly days. The girls would be
"lost” without them. The boys seem
indifferent, but after all a good swea
ter covers a multitude of shirt sins,
a missing button, or a frayed cuff.
When the leaves begin to fall, the
cautious mothers open trunks of
winter garments, and, after ridding
them of moth balls send Johnny
and Sue off to school with gay swea
ters either under or on their arms,
because, "One can never tell about
the weather.” However, as an extra
for outdoor wear, sweaters are often
Scorned, but those which are worn
indoors are lauded by all.
A Sweater used to be a sweater; at
present it serves the purpose of fill
ing closets and drawers and provid
ing some answer to the age-old ques
tion, “ What shall I wear?”
Due to a flair for rejuvinating
styles the cardigan has come back.
These cardigans are known by the
unelegant name, “ Sloppy Joe.”
Why? I’ve never been able to find
out. They are sloppy enough, it is
true, but the "Joe” part has me puz
zled. Fashion says that the sleeves
of these sweaters should be pushed
above the elbows, making large
lumps between arms and ribs.[Very
uncomforta ble.]
Of course, there are ordinary
sweaters, and a good choice oi them,
decorated with embroidery, fancy
knitting, and bright buttons; but the
ones which are really causing a"stir”
are the fuzzy ones. All I can say
about them is, "They’re a nuisance.”
In fact, anownerofoneofthemhasto

A Cake That Made History
The geometry class contributed
the following: A cube is a solid fig
ure which is a circle at one end and
goes to a point at the other.
A curved line is a line that goes
up and down.
A broken line is a group of line
segments that follow each other.
A broken line is one that stops
and starts again; it mayor may not
be straight.
A regular polygon is a figure with
any number of sides all being at
tached to one another.
A broken line is a line which has
been cut off.
A cube is a square going down
ward.
The pupils of Miss Kranz’s U. S.
History classes were required to
make reports orprojects for Wash
ington’s birthday. Henry Maier, stu
dent of the seventh period class,
suggested having a Washington’s
Birthday cake. The class unani
mously agreed, and Wednesday,
February 21, Henry brought the cake.
It was a large sheet cake, trim
med in white, red, brown, and blue.
On the cake were a frosting flag,
an ax, and a falling cherry tree with
the scattered chips. "Happy Birth •
day, George, 208 years old,” and “He
never told a lie“ were written on the
cake.
Henry brought proof that he had
decorated the cake by bringing the
signatures of ten men employed in
the Maier-Roedel Baking Company.
The class spent an enjoyable hour
eating cake and singing "Happy
birthday, George.” Envious pupils
from other classes came in during
the day -before seventh period- to
gaze at Henry’s "history project.”

PHI DELTA KAPPA DINNER
Mr. D. W. Flagg, president of the
N. U. chapter of Phi Delta Kappa,
men’s honor fraternity in education,
invited members of the Progressive
Education Association and the wo
men’s honor, sorority Pi Lamba
Theta, to the fraternity dinner here
on February 20. Dr. Franklin Scott
of N. U. ’s Department of History
gave a very interesting and worth
while talk about the European sit
uation, principally the conditions
in Finland.
Nilehi’s new mixed chorus, un
der the direction of Miss Klaus,
gave its premiere performance for
the group. Janice Moore was solo
ist. Mrs. R. Esch’s radio class pre
sented "Paradise,” a radio play,
and Marie Throop gave a reading.
Here’s Something
Did you know that Miss Line, oar
home economics teacher, once made
costumes for Robert Taylor, Holly
wood’s "glamor boy”? She has given
us a few interesting facts about his
high school days.
Miss Line was teaching in Bentrice,
Nebraska from 1928 to 1930 when
Bob was a junior and senior there.
She said he had three hobbies:
dramatics,music -he played the cello
very well- and a collection o f sweat
ers of every shade and style. Dra
matics seemed to be his chief in
terest even then. He took the lead
ing parts in all of the plays, and in
operettas he did some singing.
Many showy costumes were ar
ranged for him by our Miss Line.
The girls were very much inter
ested in Taylor - then known as
Arlington Brugh - and literally
swooned at his glance, but show us
girl who wouldn't. Bob didn't seem
to receive much attention from the
boys. Could it be that they were
jealous?
When asked if this successful
young actor seems to have changed
much, Miss Line replied quickly,
"Not a bit!”

thirty boys on both squads. These
boys will compose the Junior
Varsity and Varsity of next year.
