Writer Wants Students
T o Respect Nilehi; Back Team
Our school has an enrollment of 300 more than last year.
With this rise in attendance, a noticeable change has taken place.
An enlarged monitor system has been provided, a new type
of program and school calendar installed, the library and cafet
eria have been provided with new table tops, the hall lockers re
paired, and classroom desks sanded and varnished, to name just
a few of the changes.
This all had to be done to cope with the “new crowd” in Trojanville. So let’s be straightforward this year; don’t destroy the
good that was created, but instead preserve it for the vast num
ber of students who will invade Nilehi in the near future.
The large staff of senior monitors wasn’t created to boss
lower classmen around, but to help you get from one destina
tion to another in swift, comfortable fashion. So co-operate
with them and follow all their instructions.
And abut these lockers you so slyly jam by inserting a wad
of paper or gum—sure it’s convenient to have an open locker
so you don’t have to waste a few seconds dialing the combination.
But did you ever think what it costs to repair one? You may
not realize that—
-but your parents will!
There’s one important part you have to play in your stay
at Niles, a very important one. That’s the oiling of the spirit
machine. That is, you should whole-heartedly support Trojan
athletics. Take the opening football game, for instance. I was
out on the gridiron that day, and for all I heard the stands may
as well have been empty. Maybe you weren’t pepped up enough.
Well, tonight let’s get out there and yell the Trojans to
victory over Proviso.
Oh, and if youu’re ever on the first floor outside of the
office, stop for a moment and take a glance at the Niles Town
ship High School Code of Ethics—live up to its contents and we’ll
be the best of friends.
“See you around the campus.”

The Voice
O f The Pupil
Dear Editor,
Are we sardines—or people?
Last year when we walked down
the halls—we walked, but this year
we have to act like fish and slither
through the crowds.
This year when the bell rings
at the end of class we take a deep
breath and start out into the hall,
hoping we will make it to our
next class, with all our books,
arms, and legs.
We have our ups and downs—
even when It comes to walking
the stairs. I really feel sorry for
the poor freshmen when I have a
hard time finding my way around
Nilehi.
A Bewildered Junior
ED. I’m afraid we can’t elim
inate any sardines from the can;
however, everyone can do this
share in eliminating this traffic
congestion. Here’s how: If you
notice a traffic bottleneck in the
halls between periods, mention it
to a senior monitor. In that way
additional monitors can be placed
where needed or else traffic can be
re-routed.
DEAR EDITOR,
I am a junior girl and I’ve got
a gripe to make about third per
iod gym class. It happens to be a
40-minute period and it leaves us
girls in a daze. First of all, we
go down to the locker room and
change our clothes. This takes five
minutes. Then we bounce up to the
gym for roll call. There goes an
other five minutes. Then we grab
our field hockey sticks and balls,
put our shin guards on and race
out to the field. This takes about
ten minutes. By the time the girls
are organized and ready to play
the clock has moved up another
five minutes. By this time we have
consumed twenty-five minutes, and
allowing five minutes to get re
dressed we have approximately ten
minutes to play.
Now I ask you, Mr. Editor, is
this the fault of the new schedule
or the girls? We need advice!
A Disturbed Junior Girl
ED. The physical education de
partment is one of the most
crowded parts of Nilehi these days.
The new expansion program, which
will begin soon, is planned to re
lieve' some of this rushing; until
then why don’t you try playing
basketball ?

They are Gail Bruening, Kathy

System Is New
W ith Short Periods
THERE HAVE BEEN many
changes in the school system a t
Nilehi this year. Some of these
changes include shortened periods
to accomodate the increased en
rollment and provide more class
room space; make-up-in-adwance
slips have been abolished; the mon
itor
to system has been enlarged to
improve traffic efficiency; and a
35 minute homeroom period has
been included in the program.
The shorter periods have made
moi*e than 25 rooms available for
additional class roomspace. This
gives students less time in class
but more time in study halls.
“MAKE - UP - IN - ADVANCES
have been discontinued,” Mr Har
old Ohlson, senior advisor, said,
“to encourgae good standards of
attendance.” Excuses will be rated
on individual merit.
The fifth-period homeroom gives
students and teachers time to take
care of school business, attend
meetings, or discuss problems per
taining to school activities.
The NILEHILITE staff, on be
half of the student body, extends
sympathy to Miss Margaret de
Booy on the death of her mother,
Mrs. Cyrenus de Booy, at Rock
Rapids, Iowa, on September 4.

Trojans Clash W ith Pirates;
Look for First League W in
By Roger Yost
THE TROJANS will be out to claim their first victory of the '52
campaign when they clash with a strong Proviso eleven under the
ires at Maywood tonight.
Proviso, always tough to tangle with, is out to cop the Subur
ban League title this year, and doesn’t intend to let the downtrodden
Trojans upset them. Last season the Pirate eleven swamped the Nilehi
^representatives on the local field 33-0.
COACH VIRGIL Van Cleave is,

the treasure hunters, and who'

On the basis of season opening
performances it would appear that
the Suburban League champion
ship football crown will perch up
on the head of the OAK PARK
team. The Huskie eleven mauled a
strong LA GRANGE squad 20 to 0.
Not to be overlooked, however,
are two other SL schools—namely
“the young, inexperienced” Wildkits of EVANSTON, who waltzed
t-.o a 14 to 6 triumph over BLOOM
TOWNSHIP, and the rugged PRO
VISO Pirates, who, again this
year, tote a sharp sword, as their
19 to 6 victory over DAVENPORT
IOWA bears evidence.
In Chicago City Leagues’ com
petition LANE TECH is consid
ered the big gun this season. Their
13 to 0 debut over BISHOP NOLL
of Hammond, Indiana was sparked
by their ace T-formation quarter
back Gene Chickowski, who had as
a backfield mat Gene Czajowski.
(Pity the Poor LANE cheerleaders
with those two names to yell).
In the Catholic league circles
MOUNT CARMEL is the over
whelming choice to romp to its
third straight title in a row. Ac
cording to the Caravan's Coach,
former Notre Dame great Terry
Brennan, competition for starting
positions is very keen. All-Cath
olic League fullback Frank Pinn,
who sported an 8.1 yard-per-try
average last year, is having
trouble holding down his first
string post. That must be some
team!
There were quite a few inter
state pre-conference games this
season. PROVISO played at DAV
ENPORT, IA........ BISHOP NOLL
of Hammond journeyed to LANE
TECH Stadium . . . CRANE TECH
went to DANVILLE, OHIO . . .
WEST ROCKFORD played at
CLINTON, IOWA, while downstate
FREEPORT was the guest of
DUBUQUE, IOWA.
Here are the predictions for
this weekend’s Suburban League
games. EVANSTON’S Wildkits

Pirates of PROVISO will gain

Sophomore back, Shell Mikkelson (91), looks as if he is about to
be brought down by Rich Drewke of Amundsen, but this was not the

“The squad is larger and more
evenly balanced this year than
ever before. In previous years we-ve had one outstanding runner,
with not much to back him uji.
This season there is going to be
some real competition among the
first seven places." This was the
opinion of Thomas Kiviluoma..
Nilehi cross country coach.
Coach Kiviluoma expects big
things this year from such re
turning award winners as sopho
more Bruce Debes, junior Fred
Miksch, and senior Marv Farwell.
Other returning award winners
are seniors Roger Otte and Jerry
Portugal.
The squad's first meet was held
yesterday, September 25, when the
Trojans met Zion-Benton and Oak
Park in a triangular meet around
the Nilehi course. The results of
the meet were unknown at the
time of this writing.
Their next encounter will come
next Thursday, October 2,. when
"they match skills with Waukegan

Coach James Phipps kept up
his relations with baseball over
the summer, as he played third
base and batted .375 for the Win
ona (Minnesota) Chiefs. Phipps al
so clouted three home runs.
He said that Paul Geil, All-.
American halfback at the Univer
sity of Minnesota, helped pitch the
team to second place in the league.
The Nilehi frosh-soph gridders
led by coach Leo Hoosline, opened
their 1952 season by trouncing
Amundsen 34-0 on the local grid
iron. In scoring their triumph the
Trojans compiled 250 yards in
penalties.
Midway in the first quarter Jim
Elliot started off the scoring by
plunging over from the 1 yard
line. Bill Barranco followed with a
pair of “T-D's." His first tally wag
a bulldozing 25 yard drive through
the center of the line. With the
first half completed the little Tro
jans led 20 to 0.
In the second half it was Elliot
starting off the scoring again,
going 5 yards for a touchdown. In
the fourth quarter it was still
Elliot. This time he sprinted 60
yards to paydirt winding up the
evening with three touchdowns to
his credit. Other fine performers
were halfback Bill Schofield and
linemen Jerry Best and Fred Melberg.
Tonight the Trojans will at
tempt to trip up the Proviso Pi
rates at Maywood. Last year the
Nilehi sophs whipped the lower
class Pirates 13-6.
Freshman Squad

“We have had a turnout of 62
boys for frosh football and they
are big and enthusiastic, but like
all first-year teams they are very
green," stated Coach John SheaIrn as he reviewed his first Nilehi
team with associate Coach Charles
Hussey.
Boys that have looked good in
scrimmage include Simpson at cen
ter, Bock at guard, Proft at tackle,
and Koif at end. In the backfield
Quarterback Walter and the Full
back Hagman have proved to be
standouts.
The little Trojans open their
campaign today, September 26,
at Highland Park, then venture to
Leyden on October 3 to meet the
