Playing before the smallest crowd of
the year, the Trojans really plastered a
troop from Lake Forest last Saturday
night, 55-29.
To give you some idea of how fast the
game started, the score was 4-1 in favor
of the Trojans before the hands on the
clock moved.
Lake Forest scored first on a charity
shot but after that the Trojans had their
3rd victory in the bag.
The high scorer of the evening was
W alt Zust, who hit for 17 points, (and
he said that he made 10 of them with
his eyes open.)
Again, like the night before, every Tro­
jan played, and you can pat little Hank
Mayeda on the back for breaking up three
fast breaks, which helped keep the oppon­
ents’ point under 30 for the second
straight game.

Freshies A lso Victorious
Completing the string o f Trojan vic­
tories, Coach Kiviluoma’s freshmen five
easily swamped a Maine Twp. organiza­
tion, 20-10.
It ’s interesting to relate that Maine
was unable to score a field goal until
well into the 3rd stanza.
Leading the attack for- Niles were
Heiniger and Garner with 4 field goals
apiece.

W h ip Woodstock
The once meek and defenseless Trojans
really turned it on against Woodstock
last Friday to capture their second con­
ference victory, 38-27.
Two quick baskets, one by Zust and
another by Lane, gave our varsity an
early lead which they kept thru the
the whole game.
Woodstock substituted only one man
throughout the whole game while Every­
one on the Trojan side played.
The starting lineup for the Trojans
was: Zust and Nachbauer at the forward
spots, Lane at center and Williams and
Anderson at guard.
The high man for the Trojans was
Lane with 9 points.

The mariners of NileHi have redeemed

Three boys swung the big deal for the

Would you like to spend the evening
before exams pleasantly? Would you like
to fail your exams easily, and without
study? Then read the following story of
Dora Dimwit from our files o f Dora
Dimwit.
School was out for the day. A ll of the
pupils were tripping down the hall with
stacks of books in their arms. The next
day, as you can probably guess, was the
most dreaded time of the year— Examin­
ation Day!
Our little friend, Dora Dimwit, decided
that because everyone else was taking
home books, she would do the same. So
Dora took all of her books from the lock­
er, dusted them off (long time, no use)
and started to trudge home.
But on the way home she met a group
of friends going to the Cozy Cuddle
for a coke. She promised herself that she
would leave early and go right home and
study but Herb happened to be there,
and they were playing “ I Dream of You”
so of course she had to stay a little
tinsy-winsy longer.
Dora got home at eight o’clock. She
had had so many shakes and tin roofs
that she didn’t feel like eating, (un­
balanced diet. Brain doesn’t function as
well (doesn’t it ever?).
Dora at last got ready to study (be­
tween 15 phone calls). She dragged Dad’s
favorite easy chair to her room, changed
into her jeans and plaid shirt, took off
her shoes carried her latest album- of
T. Dorsey records and a copy of “ Green
Dolphin Street” to her room, got some
pop corn and cake from the kitchen and
oh yes, got her books.
A fter settling in her chair, Dora played
one of the records and danced fo r awhile.
Then she turned on the radio and tried
to study, but the program was so scary
that she had to listen.
Dora decided to rest her mind by read­
ing a few chapters in her novel. Just as
she was curled up comfortably the tel­
ephone rang.
The gang was coming over. Hurrah!
They could all study together, couldn’t
they? (or could they?)
Well, you can guess the rest of this
story. The gang ate, played the T. D.
records, danced and listened to Bob Hope.
They left about 11:30 and by that
time Dora was so tired, that she decided
that she knew everything anyway and
she needed her sleep.

So, the next day Dora failed her exams
with flying colors. You don’t have to
follow her routine exactly but we guar­
antee that you’ll never fa il to fa il your
exams if you follow Dora Dimwit’s plan.

Niles Seems to Prefer
Sentimental Ballads
As this reporter was looking through
his old NileHiLites o f a couple years
back it became evident that this school
was strictly on the sentimental side as
far as music was concerned. .This con­
clusion was reached by making a list
of “ The Songs of the Week.”
W ay back in January o f 1943 there
was “ As Long as Your Not In Love
With Anyone Else.” February came back
with “ I ’ve Heard That Song Before” and
“ Moonlight Becomes You” while the
March winds blew we found “ Why Don’t
You Do R igh t?” pushing its way to fame
With April came spring and with spring
came thoughts of love expressed in these
two ballads, “ As Time Goes By” and “ It
Can’t Be Wrong.”
Coming back to school in the fa ll with
new students the school still held its
mood with “ Sunday, Monday or Alw ays” .
December and Christmas chose “ Shoo
Shoo Shoo Baby,” while the return to
school in January, after a vacation we
found “ Mares Eat Oates” as “ the song.”
Gracious! How did that song get in this
column ?

“ What
the best way to prepare for
a test ?’’. This was the question that wag

The answers were pretty good, ( i f they
do what they suggest.)
Stewie Munroe, junior— work hard dur­
ing the year and you won’t have to study.
Frances Fuhr, junior — scan through
your books and look at the topic heads,
and if you don’t remember what it was
about, read it over.
v
Stanley IIartin, jui}iqr— keep up with
your work and don’t .gfet behind and you
won’t need much study.
Herbert Jarosch, junior — look over
your other tests and see what mistakes
you’ve made and be sure that you won’t
make the same mistakes again.
Fred Bernard, senior— kid around the
teacher and find out what the test is
about.
Henry Me'nke, senior— don’t study, it
confuses you
Joan Flavin, junior— read over your
chapters and study your vocabularies.

Santa

Who said there isn’t a Santa Claus?
Mr. Robert Carter, 4951 Brummel, Sko­
kie, played the part this year and pre­
sented to N.T.H.S. a public address set.
This includes a microphone, amplifier,
speaker, and extension cords and other
needed electrical items.
This is the second g ift from Mr. Car­
ter. Last year he gave Niles a xylophone,
a saxaphone, and several other musical
instruments.
We all wish to thank Mr. Carter for
his very generous gifts.
