Stanley Martin, a freshman at NTHS, spent his fourteenth birthday at
the tJ.S. Naval Air Station at Glen
view. Stanley wrote a letter to Com
mander Washburn telling of his am
bition to become a Navy aviator. Com
mander Washburn, commanding offi
cer at the station, invited him to cele
brate his fourteenth birthday as his
guest.
Stanley had lunch in the officer’s
mess hall where he was presented
with a beautifully decorated birthday
cake. After lunch he was shown
around the station in a jeep with En
sign Paul Burgess, a flight instructor,
as his guide.
Stanley is studying aero dynamics,
and he built a wind tunnel in which
new models are tested. He plays a
saxophone in the school band and has
won his freshman letter in football.
Professor Yellott
To Speak Here
Professor John I. Yellott, Director
of Mechanical Engineering at the Illi
nois Institute of Technology, will give
a lecture, “The World to Come,” in
the N.T.H.S. gymnasium at 8 p.m. on
Tuesday, March 23. Admission is free,
and the lecture is sponsored by the
Niles Township board of education.
Professor Yellott, since 1942, has
organized and conducted in Chicago
the largest war training program in
a single city in the nation. More than
16,000 war technicians have been
trained under his direction. He or
ganized the first program designed
to train women for specific, technical
war jobs. He also organized a pro
gram for training the “white collar”
man so that his peace time talents
could be used in the war effort.
The attendance at this meeting will
serve as the basis for determining the
interest on the part of the citizens
toward the continuation of an adult
educational service.
Mr. Galitz Leaves
To Become Lieutenent
Mr. Galitz, popular coach and teach
er of Nilehi, is now in the navy, serv
ing as a lieutenant, junior grade. Mr.
Galitz left Friday, March 5, to start
his training at Dartsmouth Univer
sity, where he will be stationed for
two months. After that he will be sent
to Princeton University for more
training, then will come active duty.
Mr. Galitz has been with the high
school for seven years, coming here
from Sheldon, Illinois. Three years
ago he was appointed head basketball
The dramatic department directed
by Mrs. Esch will present Dramatic
and Radio Nite on March 26. This is
part of the p r o g r a m “know your
school.” A short comedy composed of
3 acts, “Don’t Bring the Band,” and
authored by Mardy McKeever, student
in last year’s majoring dramatic class,
will be presented. All the plays re
ceived by Mrs. Esch were very good,
but Mardy’s seemed not only good but
also the most adaptable for use.
The cast of the play is as follows:
Peggy—maid—Cherie Neutz
Robert—butler—Allan Nelson
Buzz—a band member—
Edward Fisher
Dirty—a band member—
Edward Kretsch
Mike—a band member—
Richard Mussil
Marge—Steve Stanton’s bride—
Gloria Westerberg
Steve Stanton—famous and leader—
Charles Bailey
Mrs. Graymont—Steve’s aunt—
Betty Sparkman
Gloria—Mrs. Graymont’s daughter—
Therese Keegan
Two other features will be a drama
script and a serial script presented by
the beginner’s radio classes
Only invited guests are admitted.
coach, and his teams have ranked high
in the region every year.
In leaving a bit of advice for high
school students, the popular coach
said that he thought all should try to
graduate from high school, regard
less of circumstances. He said that he
had enjoyed his work here, and hoped
to return after the war was over.
Bill Stockfisch speaking for the
team said: “We were sorry to see him
go. He did a lot for the school and
we wish him all the luck in the world
in the navy.”
Mr. Galitz was presented with a goihg away gift at a short meeting of
the faculty club Thursday, March 4.

In case this “cuts” certain parties,
we’re only kidding!
We’ve actually heard Liz Krysher
say that Lake Michigan is not cold
on Sunday in February. After all, we
can’t all belong to the Polar Bear
Club — just Liz.
Did you happen to notice Bob Glatz
clutching Danny Sullivan in a death
like grip the other day? When Danny
told Bob he had to get to class, Bob
serenely replied, “That’s all right —
just tell teacher you were with me!”
At this rate Bob should be stepping
into Dr. Biehn’s place any day!
If you have a few extra minutes
you might ponder about the thirteen
seniors in solid geometry who were
playing with Tinker Toys! And just
think they’re the citizens of tomorrow.
This little poem was rescued from
the floor of room 216 —
A little kid’ll eat ivy
A mare and a goat’ll eat oats
A mare will eat oats
A goat will eat oats
But a little kid’ll eat ivy.
Saying of the week: Why, Baldy,
where did you get that haircut ?
Song of the week: “Black Magic.”
Couple of the week: Carol Ellis and
Jack Kittredge
Note of warning to the teachers —
if Helen Roberts is late for a class,
please ignore it because we have heard
her say she likes to sit in the worldfamous Dentention Room. She claims
she accomplishes a lot of work there.
Do you happen to own a red cocker
spaniel? If you do please come to
room 110 during 3rd period. The dog
can be found sitting on the window
ledge. It would be deeply appreciated
if owner is found because the incident
is wringing the hearts of the girls
indulging in shorthand.
In the 6th period swimming class
one day last week two girls could be

I’ll bet my new tire that Dick Bar

H.S. Could it be a hint that he hasn’t

Why Dorothy, is this a new romance
blooming? You really like the name
Bob, don’t you?
It seems that room 216 have quite
an argumentative class 8th period .They
even have to go to other classes to
finally decide on an answer.
By the way, just who is Walter
Reid?
Never let it be said that Nilehi has
a one-track mind. Proof — the girls’
gym on a certain Wednesday after
noon. At one end basketball practice
was going on. At the other Mr. Dees
and half of the track team high-jump
ed and exercised strenuously. In the
middle, 25 or so girls applied band
ages and First Aid knowledge — with
sound effects. And during all this,
Brad Fredericks imperturbably set up
his camera for the First Aid pictures.
All we need now is to see the picture!
Speaking of red faces, Jack Nay
lor’s should take the cake. From now
on, stay away from the girls’ gym
on Gacs night, Jack!
At least one of our inmates doesn’t
“rush in where angels fear to tread.”
Or didn’t you know that Jim Rasmus

WE thought that the mornings were
getting lighter. Evidently we were
wrong, or else Peggy McNeill can’t

must be some explanation for the twocolor combinations in socks that she

Editorial
The events of the past month point
definitely towards a high ■word of
praise for the student body of Niles
Township. Generally, this column is
given over to criticizing the work and
manners of the students, but when
the students come through with flying
colors, it is only natural that criti
cism should turn to praise.
We are referring, of course, to the
different drives that have been spon
sored by our school for the past few
weeks.
The first big drive was for bundles
for poor children. Bundles for stu
dents who could not continue with
their studies because of the lack of
warm clothing. Most of the students
at Nile Hi have never known this kind
of poverty, but they understood what
was needed and pitched in to help all
they could.
We had a book campaign for books
for the boys in service. Everyone can
realize what a good book means to a
soldier or sailor stationed in some
lonely part of the world. Nilehi again
came to the rescue and brought their
own books from home. Books that they
had already read and enjoyed and
were willing and anxious to pass them
on to others.
Right now students are requested
to bring 1942 license plates and de
posit fhem in the container in front of
the office.
Every week War Stamps, are sold
in the home rooms. Once more the
students dig in and buy. Maybe not
as much as we always want, but we
all realize with the ever-increasement
of war productions more money will
be needed. Still, we are confident
when we say we know the students of
Nilehi will see this and act according
lyThis is everybody’s war and every
body must help and contribute all he
can. You have a good start, Nilehi,
so let’s make our next drive one for
total Victory!
Ohlson Strikes Again
Here we are again, kids, with an
other Ohlson puzzle. This one will
take some hard thinking. The puzzle
this issue is, “In how many different
ways can eight guests be seated
around a dinner table?”

last issue is

Hola amigos—como están ustedes?
Me alegro muy mucho que este en
esta muy hermosa escuela superior.
Me gusta todo el mundo y toda cosa.
For those of you who aren’t lucky
enough to know Spanish, I’m telling
you how much I like everyone and
everything about our school.
I think that the nicest thing that
has happened to me in my short res
idency is the fact that my Junior
Home Room was 100% in the pur
chase of Defense Stamps on March
2nd. I practically go lyrical in praise
when I think of it.
Stamps — just think — maybe the
bullet or gun or gas mask you pur
chase thru stamps may aid your boy
friend or brother or father — even
your sister or sweetheart! Well —
aren’t there WAACS and WAVES
overseas ?
So you dig down deep on Tuesdays
and produce a weapon for our men
and women in service. What if you
don’t have ice cream or candy or pop
for a couple of days — they’re fat
tening anyway. Instead, help fatten
our country’s gains in battles, and
believe me, you’ll feel and be a 100%
American!
Gracias muy mucho,
y con Dios — todo.

Capital Punishment
The other day the students of Miss
Berry’s English classes were asked
to persuade the rest of the class to
their way of thinking within two min
utes. Gerry Thulstrup, an expert on
the subject of crime, submitted the
following reasons for capital punish
ment. The editors all think she de
serves an A+.
Capital punishment:
1. Reduces food bills in prisons.
2. Provides employment for execu
tioners.
3. Provides stories for newspapers.
4. Provides an outlet for electric
power.
5. Provides employment for certain
furniture companies that make
electric chairs.
6. Is a source of entertainment for
witnesses.
7. Gives criminals something to
look forward to.
8. Provides plots for moving pic
tures.
9. Provides slang terms such as:
a. hot seat
b. burn
c. fry
10. Provides employment for barbers.

Open Letter
To Phoebe
Dear Phoebe:
I am writing to youse because I am
thinking that it would being a good
ideas if I was to telling youse about
the swell school spirit we are having
at Podunk Hi where i am going. Here
when we are having a basket balls
game or a feet ball game or even
just a swimming meet we are al turn
ing out and coming to help the boys
to win by shouting and yelling for
our guys, and I am thinking that
after I was at your school last fall
that maybe you would liking to have
this sort of turning out at your school.
So I am writing to telling you how
we are doing it.
First we are having a schedoole of
events published in our paper of all
the games we are wanting the pippils
to come to and then we are having
each one of the boys on the team to
make a short spich over the P.A. sys
tem the day before the gam. Then we
are having a beg pep celebration the
day before the game and we really
are yelling for the follows. This is to
let them know we are really behind
them 1,000% then we are asking ev
ery one in our neighborhood to come
with us in our gas buggy to save the
gas, tires, and it is really being a lot
more chummy this way. and then the
night of the game we really are hav
ing a turning out that is a Pooperdo
and not just a scattered bunch of
hoods.
I am thinking that this will be
working at yours school too so just
try it.
Cousin Joe
Platter Chatter
Well, kids, here’s the latest dope
on what the records are offering these
days. With a slight shortage of hot
discs, we hear you can still get “That
Old Black Magic” by Glenn Miller
(Victor). Or if there’s a little South
American samba spirit in your bones,
may we suggest the now hard to find
“Brazil” by Cugat.
On the sweet and sentimental side
and with a Dinah Shore vocal “You’d
Be So Nice to Come Home To” is still
available; or if you prefer something
a little noisier you can have “For Me
and My Gal” with the Judy Garland
touch.
Tommy Dorsey offers “It Started
All Over Again;” and for the Harry
James lovers the best we have to offer
is “I Had the Craziest Dream,” a bit
old but still good.
Male Of The Species
Symbol—Wolf (lupi)
Density—usually very high.
Occurrence in Nature—found wher
ever food, girls and idleness are be
lieved to exist.
Physical Properties—Comes in all
sizes, shapes, and colors; often disguished by a three-day beard and a
crew cut. Commonly found covered
with bright plaids and polled dots.
Chemical Properties—emits low(?)
whistling sound at the sight of the
female of the species; has very low
boiling point and will blow up at the
slightest provocation.
Test — changes entire appearance
when treated with razor, soap, and
water. Difficult to recognize in a suit
as this is completely out of character.
Whatzit
It’s there we always like to go
(When there’s nothing else to do)
To renew some old acquaintances,
And hear a joke or two,
Of course old knowledge is lurking
there
In every nook and cranny,
And those (I hear) who seek it out
Have really become quite brainy.
And now just before I close
I must express fear
That someday there you’ll have to
disturb
And be kicked out on your — ear.
This ’n That
Some really fine entertainment is
waiting for us, not so very far off.
Mrs. Esch is lining up material for
the dramatics night program and Miss
Schaefer has started rehearsals for
the water carnival.
The junior council, after much dis
cussion, has decided to have a Dutch
theme for the prom this year.
Miss Berry’s college preparatory
English students visited classes at
Northwestern University to get an
idea of what “it” will be like.
Former Nilehi, Carol Rouse, is in
Hollywood working on another pic
ture. This one stars Kay Kyser.
Have you seen the exhibition of
work done by the art classes. If you
haven’t, go to the library and take
them in. They’re really worth the
effort of climbing that extra flight
of stairs!
It has been observed that the minds
of many of the girls in the gym classes
are not on their commands. Instead
they are busy criticizing the legs of
the preceding girls.

Trojans Beat Waukegan, Lose To Libertyville
Trojans Nipped 32, 24
Brownies Lose 37, 31
The Trojans more than avenged an
early season defeat last Tuesday by
putting Waukegan out of the regional
tournament. The Trojans were ahead
all the way but it wasn’t until the last
few minutes of play that the final
outcome was decided.
Dispensing with their usual slow
start the Trojans jumped out to a 10
to 3 lead. This however dwindled to
first quarter. The second quarter Jj
found the Trojans increasing their
lead to 21 to 14 at the half.
The scoring was evenly divided with
Krewer taking top honor with 1 1
points and Glatz close behind with 10.
Others who entered the scoring col
umn were Glauner with 7, Stockfisch
with 5, and Weldon and Carroll with 2
apiece.

Galitz with Varsity
Niles Loss
Navy's Gain
Nilehi lost its second tournament
game to a hard fighting Libertyville
quintet 32 to 24. The Wildcats ran
up a 9 to 2 lead before the Trojans
got started. By the end of the first
quarter the score stood 11 to 5. The
Trojans came back strong in the sec
ond period and narrowed the margin
to 17 - 15 due to a four point scoring
outburst by Bob Glatz.
The second half saw Libertyville
pile up nine points to Nilehi’s three
during the third quarter and then
crush an attempted Trojan rally in
the last period.
Beckman was the game’s leading
scorer, amassing seven field goals and
three free throws. Glatz led the Tro
jans with nine points.
Mr. Galitz has coached the Varsity
Basketball team for the last three
seasons. During this time the team
heaped victory upon victory piling up
an enviable record.
The second year of his coaching the
team won the conference unbeaten.
Mr. Galitz developed the “fast break”
which he used to good advantage.
The cheering crowd will always re
member him as the man who sat on
the bench among the players and
whose shouts of encouragement to the
team rose above all others. On the
loud speaker some morning you could
hear his steady voice, which could
change at a moments notice, telling
of some future contest. Mr. Galitz al
ways tried to make the students of
Nilehi more sports conscious and suc
ceeded in arousing a genuine interest
in all sports. Crowds at games in
creased as they responded to his pep
talks. Conduct at games became more
sportsmanlike. Nilehi’s loss is the
Navy’s gain.

The large turnout for the Wauke

is no school spirit lacking at Nilehi.
Coach Dees recently found a few

a pretty strong diet.
The grudge fight between Jim Emir

ball game a few weeks ago proved to
be quite an exciting match.

Oratorical Contest
Gets Under Way
Nilehi has been added to the list
of schools entered in the Thomas Jef
ferson Bicentennial Oratorical Contest
conducted by The Chicago HeraldAmerican. The primary objective of
the contest is to honor Thomas Jeffer
son, on the 200th anniversary of his
birth April 13.
The grand national prize winners
will receive a $1,000 war bond and a
trip to Washington for the dedication
of the Jefferson memorial.
Additional prizes are:
First prize.............. $250 war bond,
Second prize .........$100 war bond,
Third prize ...........$ 50 war bond,
Fourth, Fifth, and Sixth prizes,
$25 war bond each.
The student body is anxiously await
ing the announcement of the winner
in the elimination contest at Nilehi,
March 15. The district elimination is
March 22.
The annual contest sponsored by the
Skokie Chapter of the American Le
gion is under way. Each senior stu
dent is required to write an essay on
some phase of the present war situa
tion. The best six will appear at
school in an evening performance
sponsored by the Legion.

Dedicate New
Seevice Flag
The Senior Council, represented by
Rosemary Meyer, dedicated the first
service flag to Nilehi at an all-school
assembly on Feb. 26.
At the present, 128 alumni are serv
ing their country, and already the
number has increased. Of these 15
graduated in 37, the first class to be
graduated from Nilehi, 29, of the class
of ’38, 22 of the class of ’39, 31 of the
class of ’40, 16 of the class of ’41, 15
of the class of *42. It may also be
interesting to note that many of them
are in the ajr corps of one branch or
the other.
We’re proud that Nilehi has such
a great representation in the nation’s
call to arms, and everyone must be
resolved to do all and even more than
our share in helping them win the
war.
A good motto for us as well as the
men in the service is ideally expressed
by Chaplain Gaffney, N.S.N.R. at
Navy Pier, — “Nope, don’t like it —
gotta take it.”
Homeroom 213 Gives
In to Senior Boys
The students of homeroom 213 have
been for the last month or so politely
“kicked” out of their meeting place.
The reason being that all senior boys
have been meeting their during sec
ond period.
At the last meeting of the senior
homeroom teachers, it was agreed that
certain guidance problems had best be
handled by splitting the senior home
rooms.
Two problems in particular are
handled by this plan: First, guidance
of prospective commercial c o u r s e
graduates (girls), and second, guid
ance of prospective military service
inductees (boys).
Homeroom 213, the mystery has
been solved. Now you know why
you’ve been refused entrance into the
“oh how I wish I had one,” study hall.
Airplane Pictures
Adorn Math Room
Upon entering Miss De Booy’s room,
one would probably be surprised to
see the pictures of airplanes which
cover nearly two of her walls. “What
have planes to do with general math?”
you might ask. And your lack of com
prehension would certainly be justi
fied.
The explanation is not mystifying
however. The math class is studying
methods of transportation and because
planes will play a much more import
ant part after the war than ever be
fore, the display consists entirely of
this one subject. The pictures were
brought in by Marvin Struck and they
are the types used by the American
army and navy.

Add 52 New Books
to Library Shelves
Have you students noticed the new
books in the library? You mean you
don’t know that there’s been at least
fifty-two new books added to the N.T.
H.S. library in the last two or three
weeks? Being that you are in the
dark about the subject you must be
enlightened. Below is a list of some
of the books that have been added.
“Pioneer in Naval Aviation,” by
Hatch — a biography of Glenn Curtis.
“Heroine of the Sky,” by Jean
Adams — biographical sketches of
famous women aviators such as;
Amelia Earhart, Laura Ingalls, and
Anne Lindbergh.
“Fun With Electricity,” by A. Fred
erick Collins—interesting experiments
with electricity.
“Suez to Singapore,” by Cecil
Brown, noted CBS. correspondent —
information from the early days of
the war.
“New World Horizon,” by Lawrence
— a new geography of the air age.

you had in tournaments of this kind?
A. I was runner up in last year’s
tournament and have played close
games with the best players in this
country.
Q. Who do you refer to as the best
players of this country?
A. David Hawkinson, Norris Mullendore, Ted Canty, and Bud Cooke.
Q. What game do you play mostly,
defense or offense?
A. Mostly defense, my offense is
used up in articles of this type.
Q. Have you been beaten many
times .recently?
A. No my only losses up to this time

Q. Have you any wagers on the out
come of this tournament?
A. Only two. One with my father
on the work in the victory garden. If

lie between an A and an F. (The
teacher’s name has been left Blanke
for obvious reasons.)
Ping Pong Players

1. Too many chairs. The balls roll
under, bounce around and glance off
them until nobody knows where they
are.
2. The overhanging lights catch the
balls and time is wasted persuading
the janitors to get their ladders.
3. Ball smashers who can’t hit the
table anyway break most of the balls
for the people who play decent.
4. Fire bugs who go around burn
ing cracked balls get smoke in the
players’ eyes.
5. Table hogs who never let anyone
else have a chance.
6. Table movers who try to make
the players miss.
7. Players who need to brush up
on their math are always getting the
score mixed up.
