Orchestra Outstanding Senior Boy and Girl The Niles Township High School presents at Senior graduation these awards for outstanding achieve­ ment. The 1941 Scholarship medal will be presented to Jeannette Huemmer, who averaged the highest grade for four years of work. The various coaches named Ben Domas for the 1941 Athletics medal. Ben has not only been an excellent student, but he is the only senior to earn m ajor letters in three sports. Congratulations, Jeannette, and Ben. Appreciation Thanks: To the Senior Faculty Commit­ tee, Mrs. Esch who assisted us at Commencement rehearsals, Miss Klaus and the choir, Mr. Collins and the orchestra, the office, the administration, the Board of Edu­ cation, our fathers and mothers, Juniors, and all others who have assisted to make our years of high school profitable and en­ joyable, we wish to express our sincere appreciation. The Class of 1941. 1941 116 Seniors s Receive D iplom as This year’s graduating class, the largest in the history of the school, numbers 116 pupils. Three mem­ bers of the class completed their credits in January with the close of the first semester. Three more expect to finish at the close of sum­ mer school. Next year’s class will approxi­ mate 150 pupils. The 1943 class will number over 180 pupils. The 1944 graduating class — this year’s Freshmen group — will be well over 200 students. When the 1944 class joins the ranks of the alumni, the “old grads” will then number nearly 1000, and graduates of N.T.H.S. will be found far and wide, enrolled in all walks of life. NTHS Rates High With State Department Following his visit to our school early in May, Dr. P. E. Belting, Assistant Superintendent of Public Instruction of the State of Illinois, submitted a letter to Supt. R. E. Cotanche, in part, as follows : “The School Board, the Superintendent, and the teachers are to be congrat­ ulated on the great improvement that has been made in the Niles Township High School”. NTHS Receives North Central Award The Niles Township High School, under date of April 25, 1941, has again been placed on the list of secondary schools approved by the North Central Association of Col­ leges and Secondary Schools. This recognition, the highest recognition granted to any high school, permits all pupils, accepted by any college or university, to en­ roll without entrance examinations. 51 �\ Plllm Page 2_______________________ G R A D U A T IN G JO U R N A L IS T S Final remnants of the Nilehilite’s original staff graduate. Conclud­ ing a brief career of journalistic work. Clark Barton: Staff’s No. 1. means of sports coverage. The most legible hand writing found anywhere in Room 108. Phyliss Braeseke: Most often misspelled name. Leads staff on poetry. Always seems to want a committee for something. Annette Carroll: Staff typist. Only editor who goes around look­ ing for work. Sticks strictly to G.A.A.— her old stamping grounds. Florence Gable: Only editor who gets her work in promptly, and we mean on time. Bob Reiland: Is a good feature writer. Usually takes care of the bowling news. Bill Stevens: Feature writer. Most original speller; most original at excuses— excuses for anything. This year the beginning Journal­ ism Class is losing several efficient members of its staff. These are: Sal Rizzo, who contributed to “Printers’ Devils,” Jane Comstock and Norma Delfino, who wrote “The Cat’s Meow,” and feature stories; and Betty Kelly who wrote “Platter Chatter” and poetry. Who knows, perhaps some of these pupils will be great Journalists someday ? Senior Cabinet There was really a story behind the minutes of the Senior Cabinet meetings. You don’t think the meetings went off as smoothly as those minutes read, do you? Oh, n o! It took the Cabinet three meet­ ings to decide on the graduation exercises. Remarks flew so fast and furiously that Ben Domas, president, has a hard time keeping the meeting in order; and Sue Schaeffer, secretary, an even more difficult time jotting down the minutes. Each senior Home Room was represented in the Cabinet by four members. Other officers w ere: Bob Reiland, vice president, and Betty Kelly, treasurer. The cabinet plan­ ned many important activities this year for the seniors, such as: the senior picnic, graduation announce­ ments, and the senior breakfast. NILEHILITE To Mother From Daughter Dear Mom and Dad, I ’m all alone now in my room. I t ’s very quiet out; the sun is ju st sinking behind the trees. You are downstairs rushing around a little excited at having your daughter graduate ,and you are very happy and proud. I can see it in your eyes. Dad. will be home in a few min­ utes; we’ll eat, and then— . The reason I ’m writing this is because I was ju st a little bit restless and a little afraid. But now, as I pour my thoughts out to you, I lose that restlessness and that funny feeling in the bottom of my stomach, be­ cause I think of you two to whom I have always been able to turn. I think of you as people who have fed me, clothed me, brought me up to be something in your eyes that you always wanted me to be. And most of all you’ve given me every bit of love you have ever possessed. And now, — I ’m not a baby any­ more. I ’ve grown up and I hope I’m half of what you wanted me to be, because you’ve worked so hard. And I have tried, you know that. I haven’t been on the honor roll ,and I won’t be the most out­ standing graduate this evening, but I have tried, and that’s what I want you to know. I ju st heard dad come in and you called me to come down to dinner. I love that tinge of excite­ ment in your voice, Mom dear. Now that funny feeling is coming back, but before I close, I want you to know, you and dad, that I ’ll al­ ways think of you as the grandest people in the world. It was you two who made sacrifices for me so that I could have the best. Now’ it’s my turn to help you — and I will. W ait and see — . Your loving daughter— , Seniors Sponsor Study Hall This year Nilehi inaugurated a study hall under student supervis­ ion. A group of seniors set up rules and regulations governing the study hall. The eight seniors who worked in shifts throughout the week are to be highly complimented on their success. The Senior Committee was: Phyliss Braeseke, Chairman; Leone Becker, Merwyn Becker, Kermit Faust, Florence Marglaski, Emma Schmelzer, Edward Spring­ er, and Adaline Stachon. • _______________June 12, 1941 Seniors Head Student Faculty Forum The Student Faculty Forum of Nilehi, came to a close after a very successful year concerning school government. The purpose of the forum is to encourage students to I take a part in the governing of the I school. Students are appointed I from various homerooms to part- I take in the forum. A representa- I tive and an alternate are chosen I from the homerooms, the rep re-1 sentative having the privilege to I vote on all matters brought up I during the meetings. Dick P a r-1 oubek presided as president, with I Frank Thulstrup as parliam entar-1 ian, and Phyliss Braeseke as secre- I tary. Other seniors who were m em -1 bers of the forum w ere: Perry A n -1 derson, Paul Mikota, June V in ce n t,! Clyde Henning, Betty Meuer, Bill I Peterson, Kermit Faust, Art H a n -! neman, Clark Barton, and D o ro -! thy Kranz. We hope that n e x t ! year we may have as active a n d ! successful a forum as this year’s ! organization. Seniors Instruct Science Classes ] 1 I | Seniors Wm. Ross and E d w ard !

Four years pass in tribulation, Striving for an education. A fter first day registration, Which includes all information, Came those long examinations. Teachers harped on demonstra­ tions , Calculations and equations, Estimations and translations, Organizations, presentations, Illustrations, applications, Exploration, explanation, All these things called education. Four years pass in desperation. This year is the termination Of your mental cultivation. Pictures, friends, and relations! Baccalaureate! Graduation! You’ve made the grade! Congratulations! by Phyliss Braeseke �N1LEHILITE Page 4 June 12, 1941 Seniors, Do You Remember Breakfast Closes as the Years Pass in Review? Senior Activities Do you remember, Senior, how terrified we were our first day at high school? And how we waded through hoards of grade school kids to find our new classes at Lin­ coln School? Remember our com­ munity lockers ? Of course you couldn’t have forgotten the infan­ tile paralysis epidemic that gave us a week’s vacation so soon after school began. In our first year the new school was still in the blueprint stage. But we didn’t mind that because we had such diversions as the first Hobo Day and the spring play, “Another Spring,” to keep us happy. As freshmen we girls became charter members of the G.A.A. Freshmansophomore shift, twelve o’clock to four-thirty, was a great temptation to our keeping late hours. G.A.A. rules suffered more than once! Then do you remember how the excitement of moving into the new building completely overshadowed the worry and gloom of mid-year exams ? With the new location came those new hours, nine to twofifteen, that were so super. Anoth­ er innovation of our sophomore year was the new Student Faculty Forum which had much to say in school affairs. Then we had our first big chance to sponsor a social activity— the Sophomore Snowball Dance. But, you remember, it was our junior year that really found us in the swing of things. We joined the See Chicago Club and saw China­ town, Maxwell Street, and the Tri­ bune Building. We extended Chi­ cago a little and took in Washing­ ton, D. C. We also gave our atten­ tion to the Spanish Fiesta, the school’s first international night, and to the Egyptian W ater Carni­ val, and to “What a Life.” And girls, will you ever forget La Femme Hop which gave us our first chance to escort the man of our dreams? We even had our Bonnie pictured in the NileHiLite, our paper then ju st five issues old, dragging off Jonnie as unwilling (?) quarry. Then you remember that all-im­ portant event of any year, the Jun­ ior Prom. We girls put aside our saddle shoes and sloppy Joes to blossom forth in billowy gowns. You boys splashed on extra doses of hair tonic in vain efforts to make your heinies sprout. It was our glamour evening, for sure! We all felt pretty big being Sen­ iors last fall. Preparations for col­ lege and job hunting were serious problems. Memories from the light­ er side include that melodrama at the Senior Party which was funny enough to make Plitler forget Hess. Then the football skit at the Spin­ sters’ Skip with the girls decked out in the football team’s fall en­ sembles was pure panic. Trips to the County Jail, the Garfield Park Conservatory, Springfield, and Hull House were events on the See Chi­ cago calendar. 'Water Carnival went Aztec. With “Don’t Take my Penny” the curtain fell on the final performance of many seniors. Forgetting some of the social whirl for a moment, think back over the innovations of this year. (You don’t want to think tonight? Well, all right, since it’s graduation we’ll think for you.) This year saw : a new size for the NileHiLite, chimes to introduce announce­ ments, the new Pep Club, the be­ ginning of the All Girl Orchestra, new uniforms for the band, twirlers and twirling coming to the fore, synchronized swimming, and an ex­ change assembly. See? Really a lot when you think about it. And now, if we may do so with­ out seeming sentimental, we would like to wish that our future will have as many happy memories and bring as many good friends as these four years of high school did. The cafeteria was the scene on Wednesday morning, June 11, of the last meeting of the Senior class before Commencement. The occa­ sion was the Senior Breakfast. Over their last cups of coffee, (or was it cocoa) these near-alumni listened to various members of their class give their final words of encouragement in prophecy of better days to come. The Class W ill also had its place in the pro­ gram. Then, too, there were ath­ letic awards, not previously pre­ sented, honorable mention awards, and also certificates for both schol­ arship and attendance. A fter the breakfast came the is­ suance of the ea,ps and gowns which was followed by the first of the two Commencement Tèhèarsals, one also scheduled for Thursday morn­ ing. Commencement days-- are busy days. Mother, Your Daughter CAN Cook ! “Good cooks can be made,” says Miss Line, Home Economics in­ structor. Outstanding Senior cooks, she announces to all concerned, are Virginia Baity, Bernice Boyk, Jane Comstock, Helen Miller, Genevieve Becker, Clara Ketter, Virginia Berry, Carol Blameuser, and Mil­ dred Risinger. “Mothers can also pay particular notice,” she says. �June 12, 1941 Senior Scholarship Awards NILEHILITE Six Seniors To Attend Boys State On June 28 the following Seniors, Richard Paroubek, Robert Freres, Robert Reiland, Richard Wilson, Perry Anderson, and William Pe­ terson will board the Special Boy’s State Express at the Union Station which will speed them to the Illi­ nois state Fair Ground’s at Springfield for the 1941 session of Premeir Boy’s State. Other represen­ tatives from N. T. H. S. are: Rich­ ard Solon, Francis Keegan, William Dickinson, and Robert Moore. Boy’s State is a junior organiza­ tion modeled after our state and local governments. The State is divided into cities, counties, and Judicial Districts. The officers of the government are boys elected by popular vote. While the fellows are attending this session they will go to special schools, according to their positions. There are four of these schools: Peace Officers, Law, Civil Service, and one for Political Office Holders. Boy’s State in Illinois is a rather new idea as this is only the fifth year of operation. Thirty-six other states in the Union also have a Boy’s State. The American Legion J.

To Edith Luxem, chairman of the Committee composed of members of the Senior English classes, must go much of this favorable com­ mendation. It was Edith who su­ pervised the work of thé group, under the direction and guidance of Miss Berry.
