Niles Strong For
Finals; Coaches
Give Views
On Feb. 27, 28, and March 1 and 2,
the ’45 basketball regional finals will be
played at Waukegan /high school. Niles
has a good chance of winning. If the
Trojans can beat Evanston, they will
move into the semi-finals against eithet
Highland Park or the winner of the
Wauconda district tournament. If they
win that game they will move into the
finals against either New Trier or Wau
kegan.
H
‘'■¿•'vx*
The schedule for the finals:
Tuesday:
Waukegan vs. Maine Twp. (Game 1)
Zion vs. New Trier (Game 2)
Wednesday:
Highland Park vs. Winner of
Wauconda district (Game 3)
Niles Twp. vs. Evanston (Game 4)
Thursday:
Winner of 1 vs. winner of 2 (Game 5)
Winner of 3 vs. winner of 4 (Game 6)
Friday:
Championship Game
Winner of 5 vs. winner of 6.
The tournament season is here again.
All teams are practicing strenuously so
they can place in the big basketball con
test. to be held at Waukegan this year.
Coach Mackey feels our team this year
is in exceptionally good shape, and is
getting better each game. Although get
ting a bad start, we really picked up.
Charles Lauer, coach of New Trier
high school, does not want to say much
about his team, but that he is disap
pointed the way his players keep drop
ping out and new ones keep coming in
almost every two weeks. New Trier is
scheduled to compete with Zion’s team
for their first game of the tournament,
which New Trier will probably take.
Waukegan has won 16 out of 19 games
played, and Coach Brown, their director,
feels their team is in good shape. They
are also *playing on their home floor
which adds a great deal to the outcome
of the game. Waukegan’s first game is
with Maine Township high school of
Park Ridge.
Information pertaining to the High
land Park team has not been obtained,
but no doubt they will try to place as
high as any other school in the confer
ence. Highland Park is to play the win
ner of the district championship which
will be unkown until next week.
Niles is scheduled to compete with
Evanston. Rocky Hampton, the coach of
Evanston, feels their team should place
pretty good in the tournament, but
whether or not is yet to be seen.

Radio Stars To Be McElroy Predicts
Guests at Launching Victory For Niles
The third week has passed of the
Victory Queen Contest and the number
of votes are really adding up. Joan
Trietch is slightly ahead—
with 122,327,
while Betty Weldon is close behind with
116,254. “Frosh” Joan Schewe totals
38,041. Pat Schirra is low with 16,736.
The battle of the' females is on and - may
the best woman win.
The date for the launching has defin
itely been set for March 16, at 8:00 p.m.
Niles Twp. will play host to such radio
personalities as the Hoosier Hot Shots
and the Dinning Sisters. With them will
be other radio stars.
The evening has been arranged to
launch the landing craft that the students
of NileHi have purchased with stamps
and bonds.
NileHi’s basketball team really looks
hot, at least in the eyes of Gerald A. Mc
Elroy, sports writer for the “C o o k
County Herald”.
Mr. McElroy predicts Libertyville will
take the district final, and then they will
again win from Highland Park, their
first game of the tournament. He feels
New Trier will walk away with Zion.
This is yet to be seen though. McElroy
is quite sure Waukegan will overtake
Maine.
In the final game of the tournament
he predicts, the tWo top teams, “the un
defeated”, will be Niles and Waukegan.
It sure sounds good, if it’s true. At
least every student of Niles hopes so.
For the otftcome of this game McElroy
gave no prediction, but it will be a tough
game for both teams.
Honor Society May
Come To Nilehi Niles Coasts To Win
The honor system in NTHS has re
cently been fully discussed and it has
been decided to send for information on
the^National Honor Society. The senior
and junior faculty advisors, Miss deBooy
and Mr. Benette, along with the pres
idents of the senior cabinet and the
junior council have taken charge of the
matter.
To qualify for membership in the Nat
ional Honor Society, the student must
be either a junior or senior, and the fol
lowing qualifications are taken into con
sideration: the character of the student,
his leadership, his service to the school,
and his scholarship.
Hatchet Hop Tonight;
Fun Begins at Eight
When? Tonight, that’s when! Zowee!
you mean you don’t know? You haven’t
heard? Where have you »een? A big
dance and you don’t know ? Aren’t you
hep ? Well then the facts shall all be told
....a n d NOW!!
Tonight, Wednesday, February 21, the
Reflection staff is putting over a dance.
The Hatchet Hop is its name. A lot of
credit should be given to the Reflection
staff for working so hard just for the
dear students. They have the dance on
the idea of George and the famous cherry
incident. Along with this are two 6 ft.
busts of both George and his wife Mar
tha. This is a celebration of George
Washington’s birthday (which readers
know is the reason there is no
school tomorrow) and a dance combined.
Over Leyden Team
The end of the 1944 - 45 basketball
season finds Niles tied with Crystal Lake
for first place. The Trojans ended the
season with another victory, with Ley
den being the victim. The score was 46
to 39.
The first quarter opened fast with
some hot scoring by both teams, but
more by the Trojans. Wally Zust scored
10 of the 19 points the Trojans totaled
this quarter. Anderson and Williams ac
counted for the other 9 points with 5
and 4 respectively. The quarter ended
with the Trojans on the topside of a 19
to 11 score.
The quarter following was as exciting
as the first, except there was a little
less scoring. Anderson was high scorer
with 4 points to his credit, and Zust,
still up in the scoring, took the second
spot by boosting by three. Nachbauer
and Kunkel sunk one apiece to make it
11 for Niles to 6 for the Leydenites.
The half ended with NileHi way in the
lead by the score of 30 to 17.
In the second half the Trojans slowed
up in the scoring end, but did not suffer
much in so doing. In- the third quarter
7 points were scored, Nachbauer ac
counting for four, Anderson two and
Williams one.lt ended in a 37 to 25 score.
The rest of the game loafed along, the
Trojans sitting pretty, with thè heavy
lead gained in the first half. High scor
ers for the game were Zust who totaled
13 points, Anderson followed close be
hind with 12 points, Nachbauer totaled
7 and Williams 6. This game closed up

Well ? What’s the latest news from the
sports minded girls of NileHi? No! Not
Volleyball again! I’m afraid so people.
It’s late winter and volleyball is the pre
dominant sport as usual. Teams haven’t
been chosen yet, but they will be soon
and then we’ll find out ourselves right
back where we were a year ago. It is
a good sport however, and there usually
is a pretty tough fight for first place.
May the best team win.
A badminton tournament will start
soon in the Monday after school class. It
will be arranged so that you may chal

by winning exchange places with her.
Of course if the bird won’t co-operate
with the challenger she goes down to
the bottom and begins to work her way
up again. That’s what is called double or
nothing and if you lose you really have
nothing! (right?)
In the basketball class the whistles
blow much too often, It seems females
are foul or something because every two
minutes there is either a technical or
personal foul. A game of free-shots is
what Miss Wells calls it. To referee
this free for all, are Rosemary Racine
and Delores Chapman, who are now
now attending the American College of
Physical Education, but graduated from
Niles last year.
Some of the juniors and seniors are
surprisingly good at this game. Jane
Taylor, Helen Kuehne, May Robinson,
Laverne Kellen, Delores Fransen, and
Charmaine Valkenaar are among the
experts. (Did someone say experts?)
In swimming classes girls are passing
their fifteen and twenty minute tests.
Treading water for three minutes, swim

for the remainder of the time. All stu

credit and some people have suddenly
discovered very weak hearts. (No rea

Record is Broken But
Fenwick Ends On Top
Last Friday in the Niles Twp. Natatorium Niles was defeated at a swim
meet with Fenwick High. In spite of the
defeat there were two outstanding vic
tories for Niles.
In the Frosh-Soph back stroke event
Rudy Schmid broke the record. His time
was 36.5, while the previous time was
over 37. The other high-light of the
meet was Jimmy Tagney defeating the
Fenwick representative in the diving
event who previously had beaten
Tagney. Congratulations !
Chances Are Excellent
According to This
What are the chances of NileHi win
ning the Regional championship?
Mr. Mackey — “If the boys play as well
as they have been playing in the last
few games, any team will really have
to go some to beat us.”
John Lane — “We should be able to take
it without difficulty”
Harry Mueller — “The team has been
playing good ball and I thinly we have
a very good chance of winning.”

I think we will win it.”
Frank Williams — “We have a pretty
good chance of taking it.”
Hank Mayeda —“Our chancel of winning

Marty Alterini — “If the school gives
