Special physical education classes
have been set up at Nilehi for the boys
unable to attend the regular classes
for medical reasons, according to Mr.
Harold Isaacson, athletic director. The
classes feature shuffleboard and other
forms of non-strenuous exercise.
By the look of some of those gradeschool basketball players that played
in the tournament held at Niles last
week, the opponents of future Trojan
cage teams had better beware! There is
undoubtedly a great lift to high-school
basketball given by these young cagers.
The experience and practice they are
getting now should be beneficial in the
future.
The boys’ physical education classes
are playing volley-ball now. Softball will
be next on the agenda as soon as the
weather permits.
G o lf Team Swings
Into 19^9 Schedule
Friday, April 1, 194S
The cry of “fore” will soon be heard
on the Nilehi athletic fields as the golf
team practices for its 1949 season.
Including the ten regular season mat
ches, the Trojan golfers will compete in
a Northeast Conference meet. Arlington,
Leyden, and Niles will compete in the
second annual conference match won last
year by Arlington. Nilehi linksmen will
also compete in the state district match.
Returning this year are three varsity
golfers. Ken LaPlant, leading the re
turnees with an 83.9 average, along with
Ted Eckert (88.8) and Dick Baumann
(92.5) will carry most of the Nilehi hopes
for victory, according to Mr. Thomas
Kiviluoma, coach.
This year’s schedule includes meets
with Arlington, Leyden, Evanston, and
Maine.

The round-robin basketball tourney
being held in Miss Montgomery’s gym
classes is really at a fever pitch. The
teams in “Monty’s” classes will play
each other twice.
As soon as spring puts a dent in the
winter weather, the senior girls will try
their hands at some field hockey. This
is a fall sport, but “Monty” thinks the
girls will like to try out the new equip
ment that arrived too late for use last
fall.

Immigration Survey Tells
Why Our Ancestors Sailed
“My grandparents met on the boat
while they were on the way to the Uni
ted States, and were married when it
docked.”
“My great-grandfather on his way
from Ireland to the U. S. passed by his
mother and father in another boat going
from the U.S. to Ireland to get him!”
“My grandfather was born aboard ship
and was named after the ship.”
These were some of the many ans
wers to the survey on immigration which
was recently taken by some of the sen
iors in Miss Grace Harbert’s problems
classes. Questions such as: “Where did
your ancestors come from? When? and
W hy?” were asked.
The majority of ancestors came from
Germany, Scandinavia, and the British
Isles, and the main reasons for immi
gration were economic.
Many of the ancestors of Nilehiers
were very much bewildered in the
strange new country of the United Sta
tes. Such things as eating bananas with
the skin on, and being surprised at see
ing wooden houses were not uncommon.
Illinois was the state in which most of
the ancestors settled.
Sherrill Rudd McDonald, who was gra
duated from Nilehi in 1945, was gradua
ted in February from Purdue University
in Aeronautical Engineering “with dis
tinction,” according to Miss Margaret
deBooy, junior adviser.
Sherrill was the Harvard award re
cipient when he was a junior at Nilehi,
and was elected to membership in the
National Honor Society in his junior
year.
In college he was elected to the Tau
Beta Pi, the national engineering hon
orary fraternity, and also the Gamma
Alpha Rho, the aeronautical honorary
fraternity.

SHORT CUTS
Seven, Yes, lucky seven! These are
presumably the healthiest seniors at
Nilehi, who have never been absent from
school during their entire four-year car
eers: Eleanor Dyresson, 102; Ted Eckert,
102; Fred Gatter, 310; Marge Peterson,
316; Dick Provost, 316; Don Verlenden,
102; and Elaine Wolitski, 209.
Even though Home-room 102 has the
lowest attendance record, it has the lar
gest number of seniors with perfect at
tendance. Mr. Charles Selden, 102’s advi
ser, has never missed a day since he
began teaching at N.T.H.S. in February
of ’43.
Mr. Thomas Kiviluoma, who had pre
viously shared the record with Mr. Sel
den, fell from the ranks on March 1
when he wa,', forced to take the Dick
test fce^a^se of his daughter's case of
scarlet fever. Mr. Kiviluoma joined the
faculty in September, 1944.

What s all this confusion ? Seems six
senior girls, Pat Sommer, Joyce Creaves,

exam for Knox College in Galesburg,
Illinois, last February 12.
All received notice shortly thereafter
that they had not qualived for scholar

Morrison had word that one of the stu
dents who had received a scholarship
was not accepting it, and Ann was next
in line.
Now Ann has decided she would rather
go to Northwestern University, and has

She’s the 17-year-old senior girl with
brown hair and eyes who organized “cupid’s comer” for the senior dance, the
“Gold Rush” this year.
Her name is Betty Loefgren. She
likes just about everything including

comes to eating.
Betty loves to knit argyle socks in her
spare time, but never knows who they
are going to until they’re done.
Among her activities at N.T.H.S. are
Reflections Revelry, Nilehilite staff, and
three years in the water carnival.
This coming summer Betty will spend
at Lake Geneva or on a dancing tour for
Margot Koche. Next winter she plans to
go to college, but hasn’t been decided as
yet.
As water carnival time comes ‘round,
one of the people that the N.T.H.S.
spotlight will focus on will be a cute,
brown-haired girl who has been active in
synchronized swimming for the past
three years.
She’s Karyl Marholz, senior, w h o
stannds 5 feet 1X inches tall, has snap

Karyl’s likes are many, including her
senior year “because it’s fun to be looked
up to,” strawberries, steak, the kids at
Nilehi, and chemistry “even if it is hard.”
As for dislikes, people who can’t spell
her name at the top of the list.
Her future plans include study at
Lawrence ollege in Appleton, Wiscon
sin, where her majors will either be dra

According to Karyl, who ranked in
the upper fourth of her graduating class,
her only ambition in life is” to be able

Did Seniors Think Differently as Frosh?
Nilehilites of Three Years Ago Give Answer
Can you remember back when “Chickery-Chick” was number 7 on the hit
parade? Or better still, when the sen
iors were freshmen ? They probably
thought quite differently about things
but we’ll see after looking through the
old Nilehilites.
What’s the matter with girls?
Tom Black, freshman: They cause you
so much trouble, but they’ll do.
Senior: A marvelous invention made
to solve all problems of man’s freedom.
Should be kept on a leash.
What three things would you want
if you were alone on a desert island?
Dave Carlson, freshman: A girl, tooth
brush, and a bathing suit.
Senior: Touhy Beach, the Drive-in,
the fun in Miss Tillman’s 8th period
English class last year.
Dick Norman, freshman: Betty Grable,
Lana Turner, Betty Hutton.
Senior: Three tootpicks.
Charlotte Campbell, freshman: Dana
Andrews, Van Johnson, Robert Walker.
Senior: Pete, a horse, and a bathing
suit. What restrictions would you put on
kissing?
Hank Trausch, freshman: Be sure to
let the girl breath!
Senior: No restrictions at all!
Jim Hosfield, freshman: Time limit,
two minutes.
Senior: Eternity.
Carl Bjorkdahl, freshman: To begin
with—don’t go around with girls.
Senior: I don’t know—I haven’t kissed
anyone yet.
What do you think of N.T.H.S.?
Tracy Hill, freshman: Fine! Haven’t
met any girls that interest me, but give
me time.
Senior: Give me more time!
Angela Vosnos, freshman: Everyone is
friendly, but the classes—up and down.
Oh mah legs!
Senior: Love it! Nothing to complain
about with only two months ’til gradu
ation.
Tom Cleary, freshman: Everything’s
okay. Wow, some dishes!
Senior: Everything about it is so beau
tiful.
Bob Peterson, freshman: This school
really believes in giving a lot of home
work.
Senior: Did I say that there was too
much when I was a freshman?
Don Carlson, freshman: I’xn like every
body else, I think school is quite the
thing.
Senior: I think it’s swell and I ’m still
having fun.

Contest for w
Miss Safety Slogan o f 19 4 9 ” Closes;
Top Safety Writers to Receive Cash Prizes Soon
Did you cast a vote for “Miss Safety
Slogan of 1949” in the safety slogan
contest that ended today ? There was
plenty of time to, because the contest
has been running since March 14.
Just who “Miss Safety Slogan of
1949” is, is not known at the time we go
to press, but there were eight candidates,
two from each class, in the running. Sen
iors were represented by Kaye Jaeger
and Dona Korsmo, Geri Dodge and Bev
Dilley represented the juniors, Astrid
Hallbrendt and Violet Kubany were the
sophomore candidates, and the fresh
men had Marilyn Mattes and Doris
Smith. Miss Grace Harbert was in charge
of the Miss Safety Slogan contest.
Who won the $20 set up as prizes for
the four top slogans written during the
contest is not known either. The contest
was held in cooperation with the Niles
Township Safety Council, who donated
the money for the prizes.
The contest was supervised by mem
bers of the faculty along with two stu
dent co-managers. Faculty members were
Mr. Charles Suydam, Mr. L. P. Babcock,
Dr. A. L. Biehn, Miss Grace Harbert, Mr.
John Wilkins, and Mr. Paul M. Eberhardt. Student co-managers were Bill
Heveran, senior, and Bob Jaeger, jun

Harold Ohlson, senior class adviser.
Audrey Nordlof is first with 30 A’s
and 2 B’s. Rose Marie Denk follows
closely behind with 28 A’s and two B’s.
