Room 317 Gains ‘Blessed Event’
Model Gives Tips to Ushers
Good grooming and how to be a gra
cious hostess were the main points of
the talk given to the Ushers Club, Feb
ruary 7, by Miss “ Jaybee” Trask, a model
from the Estelle Compton studio in E v
anston.
According to Miss Trask, the main
elements that an usher should cultivate
are grace, poise, and charm.
Should Teen-agers Use Car?
“ L ife with Mother, Father, Sister, Bro
ther, and Grandfather,” a comedy writ
ten and acted by homeroom 313, was the
entertainment at the sophomore assem
bly fo r February.
The plot centered around the question
“ Should a teen-ager be allowed to use
the car on Saturday night?” Grandpa,
played by Ralph Jacobson, convinced
Mother and Father that they should
let their teen-age son use the car.

Boys Enjoy Assignment
“ The boys enjoy this more than any
other assignment of the year," says Mr.
George Roth, boys’ general science tea
cher about the freshman boys’ science
projects.
Fred Rother stuffed a snow owl, two
other owls, and several prairie animals
which he caught near his home. Paul
Kelley caught and mounted three fish and
Larry Jung brought a live wild fox for
his project.
Pete Moosmann, Read Sinclair, Don
Dressel, and Jim Thurlwell made an ex
hibit of midget racing cars, and Lervin
Schmidt made a minature o f the Nilehi
football field — complete with flood
lights.
Other unusual projects are a two-way
radio, a model steam engine, a short
wave receiver, an actual airplane radio,
and various airplane models.
“ Silence is golden," and the music de
partment at Nilehi is out to prove this
famous adage. Two sound-proof rooms
have been constructed in the music room.
Sound-proof doors and sound-proof walls
have been installed to separate the sing
ing o f Miss Clara Klaus’s vocal group
from Mr. Clifford Collin’s instrumental
students.
The two rooms will be used by Mr.
Collins, who will give instrumental in
struction there during the school day. In
addition to the rooms, several large cab
inets have been built fo r storage o f mu
sical instruments and band uniforms.
Room 309, not to be outdone by the
music department, also has the new
look. W all shelves have been completed
for the chemistry department and will
be used fo r much-needed storage space.

Friday, February 17, 1950
Six seniors completed the require
ments fo r graduation at the end of the
first semester, according to Mr. Harold
Ohlson, senior adviser.
Georgia Colman and Rosalie Sefick are
both planning to enter the secretarial
field.
Joe Wilgus, Richard Rasmussen, Marty
Seidler, and Richard Hughes all plan to
work until September when they will
enter college.

The 1950 senior dance is only the sec
ond dance of this kind. The idea was
started by last year’s senior class.
Three former Nilehiers have received
honors at Eastern Illinois college, Char
leston, Illinois.
Howard Siegel, ’48 graduate, received
high honors, which means he had “ A ’s’’
in three subjects and a “ B” in the fourth.
Jesse Porter and Richard Shiley, both
’49 graduates, and Edwin Soergel, ’48,
received honors, meaning they had “ A 's”
in two subjects, a “ B " in the third, and
a “ B” or a “ C” in a fourth.

“ Ain’t she sweet. . . see her walking
down the street... ” That tune is a famil
iar one of Rollin Glazer and his band,
“ The Blue Notes.”
Rollin likes good music, Jean Votava,
football games, and good food. He dis
likes girls who wear a lot o f make-up,
people who talk behind your back, and
squash.
A fter graduation Rollin is planning to
go to Northwestern.

right— Barbara Banghart, Miriam in the
play “ Dear Ruth.”
Barb has been interested in dramatics
since she was a freshman, and now she
has had her chance at the movies. Lately
she has been taking part in Coronet In
structional Films in Glenview. The most
recent picture is “ Let’s Have a Party.”
Barb likes convertibles, swim meets,
dramatics, and school dances. Her ideal
boy is 5 feet 9 inches, has light brown
hair and green eyes. She dislikes Mon
day mornings, tests, and rough boys.

Junior English Class
Surveys, surveys, surveys was the
password of Mr. Paul Eberhardt’s junior
English classes recently. “ The students
have been learning to take surveys in
order to justify opinion,” said Mr. Eberhardt.
A ll “ Hopalong or Lone Ranger” en
thusiasts will be down-hearted to find
out that Arthur Godfrey and “ Uncle
Miltie” were chosen the top television
shows in a survey by Joyce Van Parys
and Joyce Bruening. The masked man
ran a close second, though.
I f you are a male, 5’11", have brown
hair and brown eyes, you will really
make a hit with 35 o f 63 junior girls,
according to another survey.
Russell O’Grady and Charles Jauss had
an unusual survey on types of cars of
N i’ ehi students and their families. The
four most frequently possessed cars, ac
cording to their report, were Chevrolet,
Plymouth, Ford and Buick, the boys said.
Much to their disappointment, Russell
and Charles found no Rolls-Royces or
Dusenburgs.
Stork Delivers 8 Hairless
'Children* to Biology Room
“ Mr. Hussey, you have eight new child
ren!” This was the statement made by
Dianne Coleman in the biology room
during fifth-sixth period on February 6.
The stork’s bundle of eight pink and
hairless “ children" was discovered by
Dianne, Pat Shannon, and Pat Hank, who
feed and care for the animals in Room
314.
“ The chocolate colored mother is very
cannibalistic, and would eat the little
ones i f a human smell would come in
contact with them by handling,” says
Mr. Charles Hussey, biology instructor.
In case you’re wondering, they are an
addition to the mouse families used later
in the semester fo r the study o f cross
breeding.
2 New Gators in Biology Lab
Tough skin, long tails, and bulging
eyes might be a good description o f the
two-month old alligators that Jane Heath,
junior, received recently from her grand
father in Fort Worth, Texas. The alli
gators were found in the Trinity River
that flows through Fort Worth.
Jane brought the ’gators, who are
named Daphne and Victor, to the biology
laboratory where they will reside fo r the
rest of the year.
Mr. Hoosline, while checking over some
o f the reasons given by his algebra stu
dents fo r taking algebra, found one that
said “ ...s o I can help my brother get
through easier.”
On Tuesday, January 31, Nilehi had
six teachers absent. Even the truant
officer was gone!
