New Radio Programs
Offer Opportunities
By Bill Heveran
Rah! Rah! Rah! Sis-boom-bah! Tro'ans! Trojans! Rah! Rah! R ah!”
Have you heard that cheer so often
at games or at pep rallys that
you’re sick of it? Do you get dis
gusted at seeing the cheerleaders
running put so often beseeching you
to give “just one more cheer” when
you’re already hoarse from yelling?
In brief, do you cheer?
If you go so far as not to cheer when
cheers are called for at the games, then
your school spirit has taken quite a
slump. If you have no school spirit, then
all you go to school for is the book learn
ing that you’re made to take, and you
don’t like that, so you don’t get any
fun out of school.
‘School spirit’ may be defined as
the enthusiasm of the students back
ing something pertaining to the
school, whether it be a football game,
dan-ce, play, or anything else. With
out school spirit, a school cannot
properly function to the students’
own good.
A sophomore, newly transferred from
a school nearby, was very enthusiastic
upon entering Niles, and he felt that
the school spirit was better by far than
at the school where he had attended
before. This thought was further devel
oped during the pep rally held before
1he first game, but was rudely shattered
the night of the game when the sopho
more noted the turnout.
Why is it that the school spirit
at Niles has been dropping year by
year? Even some of the students are
beginning to realize that now, and
the football team has known it all
along.
Why is it that visiting teams have
cheering sections coming from long dis
tances when Nilehi students, just a short
d;stance away, don’t bother to come?
Why is it that those same visiting cheer
ing sections make louder cheers than
we do ? Our cheerleaders certainly aren’t
to blame.
Finally, why is it that Niles does
not always pitch in wholeheartedly
at the projects undertaken, such as
the cheering of the team to victory,
or the developing of a bigger and
better band, or the attending of a
student-produced play or group of
acts?
Perhaps you don’t agree with some
of the accusations put forth. I f not, then
you’ll have to prove that they are wrong.
Support Niles in all her activities, and
you’ll find yourself getting prouder ev
ery day. What’s more, you’ll be helping
both yourself and the school.

Dewey Is Choice, Nilehi
Election Results Show
It wouldn’t take a straight “A” alge
bra student to determine that the votes
of the students at Niles were not a re
flection of the nation’s choice for presi
dent. Proof of this was the poll conducted
about six weeks ago, and also the results
of the mock election last week.
The poll was part of a nationwide sur
vey of high-school students conducted by
the Institute of Student Opinion, which
is sponsored by Scholastic Magazines.
The question they asked was “If you
were of voting age today, which condidate would you vote for in the coming
presidential election.”
A total of 193 students from all four
classes was polled and the results were;
Dewey, 169 votes; Thomas, 1; Thurmond,
2; Truman, 15; Wallace, 10; and 6 were
of no opinion.
In the tabulations from the cross-sec
tion of the United States, Dewey and
Truman were the leading candidates in
thè Student Opinion poll with 46.29 per
cent and 38.76 percent respectively.
In the mock election in which the en
tire school participated, the Republican
candidate again scored a hit with 621
votes compared to the Democratic can
didate’s 158. Claudé A. Watson, presi
dential candidate of the Prohibitionist
party, claimed 14 votes and five votes
were cast for the Socialist party’s Nor
man Thomas.
In the runnings for senator, governor,
and representative in Congress, the Re
publicans had it over the Democrats
nearly three to one.
“Plantation Party,” a new weekly rav
dio program, will be heard from the
Evanston Y.M.C.A. Plantation Room
youth center on station WNMP starting
Saturday, November 27, from 3:30 p.m.
to 4:00 p.m. This program, for and by
high-school students, will be produced
and directed by the station staff and the
youth center director.
Admission to the broadcasts requires
membership in the youth center, and
payment of its regular admission fees. It
is not necessary to be a member of the
Y.M.C.A. to join the youth center.
“Plantation Party” strives to offer an
outlet for teen-age talent for north
shore high-school students.
Almost every type of talent will be
used on these prograrhs. Students may
submit samples of dialogue writing, con
tinuity, and programming. Vocalists,
muscians, actors, impersonators, modera
tors, bands, announcers, and sound e f
fects men will be auditioned weekly. All
Nilehi students are eligible to participate.
F irst auditions will be held each Tues
day in the Plantation Room. Anyone in
terested in an audition should look at
the notice on the bulletin board in Room
216.
Another project for Nilehiers inter
ested in radio is the semi-weekly pro
gram ‘ Nilehi Presents.” This program
will be transcribed and presented Thurs
day nights at 7:45 p.m. on the Evanston
radio station WE AW— FM.
'June M ad 1 Rehearsals
Going in Full Swing
“The play’s the thing!” This is the
opinion of many Nilehi students who
are now busily engaged in rehearsals for
this year’s first dramatic production,
“June Mad.”
“June Mad” is a sparkling comedy in
three acts concerning other teen agers
and their activities. According to Miss
Virginia Stemp, dramatics teacher, the
play appeals to all ages and audiences.
The curtain will go up at 8 p.m. on
December 3 and 4. The cast: Joan An
drews, Richard Martin, Beattie Bomemeier, Robert Jaeger, Tom Robb, Sonja
Macintosh, Doris Lyde, Jack Brown, Bill
Graefen, Tom Madden, Sharon Thomp
son, and Geri Dodge.
The Hallowe’en celebration at the Sko
kie Youth Center went over in a big
way Saturday, October 30.
The room was all decked out in com
stalks and pumpkins. Free cider—five
gallons of it!—was given to all mem
bers attending.

If you did you probably came through

Life of a Reporter Is
Hard, Trying, but Fun
This V That - Saturday Night Romeo
Tells Romantic Story
By Lois Lenberg
How many of you have ever stopped
to think of how much a'N ilehilite re
porter goes through to get a story? I
don’t imagine very many of you have.
Here, in print, are the trials and tribu
lations of every member of the staff—
at one time or another.
F irst of all the source must be located.
This is rather difficult at times, because
usually when you are out looking for a
certain teacher,, they are having a free
period and are nothing short of impossi
ble to find.
If you should glance out of a window
overlooking the parking lot and see
Phyllis Yates crouched on the bumper
of the driving education car, don’t be
alarmed. She is merely trying to cover
her beat with Mr. Babcock, driver edu
cation teacher.
Once you find your teacher, your next
job is to try to obtain some really in
teresting news frm them. It is a little
discouraging to follow a person up and
down the halls all day, wait for him out
side of rooms where faculty meetings are
going on, and then catch up with him,
to have him tell you that he’s sorry, but
he just doesn’t have any news this week.
With a weak smile you thank him and
trudge wearily to Journalism class to
try to dig up a brilliant item for the
paper.
Finally, you get an idea, you have it!
The perfect story for the good old Nile
hilite. You rush home, dash to your
trusty typewriter and being careful to
follow all the instructions on double
spacing, style, etc., y o u finish your
story. Three or four hours are gone—
but you have a proud, happy, feeling!
Next day, with a kind of parental
pride, you hand your story over to the
editor. He commences to knock out some
words, put in others, cut out unneces
sary cracks and make a general mess of
your once neat copy. From an original
story of six paragraphs you may be
fortunate to have one or two le ft by
the time this is cut out and that is cut
out because “it just doesn’t sound right.”
Then immediately after your story has
been accepted and you see your name in
print, you discover that it is time to
start chasing the teachers all over again.
Oh, for the life of a reporter!
Calvin Russell, junior, caused quite a
commotion in Mr. Eberhardt’s secondperiod English class. While he was stand
ing at the board, the class; noticed these
words on the back of his jacket. “Illinois
State Prison 76781345.” When asked
what he had done, he: said, -“I painted
it on myself.”
I t ’s generally agreed that it would be
hard to find anyone that’s perfect in
every way. Ju st the same, the junior
girls have got together and decided that
if any junior boy were perfect, he’d look

Leyden Trounces Trojans
A fter nine consecutive victories over
Leyden, the string was broken as the
Nilehi varsity lost to the Leyden Eagles
41-0 Friday, October 29, on the Leyden
field.
With the game just three minutes old,
Leyden carried oyer left guard for the
first touchdown. The Eagles scored twice
in the second quarter, the latter of which
was set up by a 70-yard punt return byl
Jim Sperra, Leyden’s ace halfback. The
final tallies were added in the fourth
quarter on a one-foot plunge over center
and a 70-yard pass. .

Trojans Win Homecoming Tilt;
Sophs Down Woodstock, 6-0
A fighting and determined Nilehi var
sity team gave the shivering homecoming
crowd the sweet taste of victory oyer
Woodstock, 13-6, on Friday, November
5, a t Nilehi field.
With the score 6-0 in favor of the
Woodstock Bluestreaks, the T r o j a n s
started to roll near the close of the third
period. A long pass put the Trojans on
the Woodstock nine-yard line. A fumble
on the next play ended that threat.
In the fourth quarter, a Nilehi drive
carried from their own 35 to the nineyard line of Woodstock. From there Pete
Heiniger skirted right end for a touch
down. Lange passed to Nipper for the
extra point.
With one minute and 17 seconds re
maining, Pete Heiniger gathered in a
Woodstock desperation pass and raced
80 yards for the touchdown, making the
final score, Niles-13, Woodstock-6.
Brei's Bombers Win
Intramural Playoff
The boys’ gym classes at Nilehi fin
ished up their touch-football season with
the championship playoffs on Friday,
October 29. Fred B rei’s ninth-period
team is the intramural champion.
Five finalists lined up for the tourna
ment: Chuck Bonney’s second-period
team, Bill Bruce’s fourth-period squad,
Ted Dolan’s outfit from fifth-sixth per
iod, A1 Haut’s eighth-period team, and
Fred Brei’s boys from ninth period.
The final game matched Bonny against
Brei. The score was 20-7, with Fred
Brei’s “Bombers” on top.
1948-9 Basketball Schedule
A homecoming victory came to the
Nilehi sophomore gridmen last Friday
night, November 5, when the Trojans
defeated Woodstock high by a score of
6 - 0.
Scoring was hampered by a wet and
muddy field which held up play for al
most an hour. Don Berg, Nilehi halfback,
fought through this mud, however, in an
exciting second quarter; racing 30 yards
around right end he racked up the only
touchdown scored in the game.
luuiors Bow to Arlington
The Nilehi junior gridmen lost their
last game of the season to Arlington
Heights high school by a score of 9 - 0 .
The game was played on the Nilehi field
November 3.
The Arlington boys trapped the Nilehi
Trojans in the third quarter behind their
own goal line for a safety; they racked
up another seven points in the last quar
ter by making a touchdown and com
pleting the conversion.
Harriers L o se Two M e e ts
The Nilehi cross-country team was
defeated by Evanston and Arlington on
October 22 and 26 by respective scores
of 35-20 and 32-23. Ed Buerk of Niles
took first place in both meets.
Cross-country consists of running
about two miles over a rugged course
without a cheering crowd to urge you
on. Then, to place in the scoring you
must be one of the first five to finish*
If the runner comes in first, he receives
one point; second, two points, and so
on. The team with the lowest score wins.

Sport Slants
by Ed Beebe
The Nilehi football gridiron is used
by both North Park College and North
Park Academy for many of their games.
Recently, the college team tied Wilson
College 6-6, in North Park’s homecoming
game.
The homecoming battle began for
many of the Nilehi Trojans long be
fore the football game on Friday, No
vember 5. It was a battle of boards,
planks, chates, and assorted wood, and
the victory was accomplished only after
a fine start had been made on the home
coming bonfire. The wood which had
been previously gathered on the Satur
day preceding homecoming was burned
by some thoughtless person.
Chuck Kranz, once a student a t Niles,
is doing a fine job as fullback on the
Barrington High School football team.
Barrington is leading the Northwest
Conference.
