We Fulfull Pledge o f Allegiance
To Community, School, Ourselves
Dear Editor,
While riding the school bus
every day to school, I find it al
most impossible to get on, move,
or get off. The bus is terribly over
crowded, resulting in extreme uncomfortability and a dangerous
hazard. If the bus had an acci
dent, there would be no hope of
escaping because it is so crowded.
Can’t something be done about
this?
Sarane Crowther
Junior
ED. The crowded conditions are
a hardship on all of us, Sarane.
Right now the only thing we can
do is grin and bear it.
Dear Editor,
As I was coming into school
this morning, I happened to no
tice the sign over tlie Assembly
Room. It is badly marred and de
finitely shows a need to be shined
up.
Judy Stansfield
Junior
Dear Editor,
The Regionals are approaching.
In order for the team to do well,
it is obvious that they be in good
shape; but that’s not all. The team
needs support, so let’s all get out
and cheer them on.
Roberta Rice
Junior
WE PLEDGE allegiance to the flag of the United States of
America and to the republic for which It stands, one nation, under
God, with liberty and justice for all.
It is the duty of all Americans to fullfill this pledge through
actions, not just through words.
Adults show their allegiance to their country by work in tbe
community through clubs, committees, and projects.
TH E Y TA K E pride in being able to say that their community
is well-run and well-kept.
As students we can do the same thing by making our school a
better one in which to work, to learn, and to play.
At Nilehi we have limitless opportunities to enrich the school;
and by doing so, we make our lives fuller. There are more than
55 clubs we may join to accomplish these ends.
B Y BELONGING to the Student Council, Student Court, class
cabinets, or Student Supervised Study Halls, we have a hand in
governing the school. Work in these organizations also develops our
leadership abilities.
Putting on a play, producing a yearbook, or performing in a
music concert privide outlets for our individual talents, as well as
being a source of entertainment to others in our community.
There are specialized clubs pertaining to our classroom sub
jects which develop our abilities in diversified fields.
MEMBERSHIP IN grohps such as the Biology Club, Latin Club,
Pins and Pans, or 100 Per Cent Club gives us an added insight into
our course selections.
We can improve our community by improving our personal
actions, as well as through work on organizations.
A friendly smile, a happy “ Hello” , a clean locker— all these
things contribute toward making our school a happy, close-knit,
well-run community.
but I do wish we could have the
athletic awards ceremonies as we
did in previous years. In my fresh
man and sophomore years I always
looked forward to being a junior
so that I could watch the boys in
my class receive their major
“ N ’s.” I am sure that receiving
these awards in front of their
classmates would mean a lot to
these boys and there would be
only three of these assemblies a
year.
Dorothy Collin
Junior
Dear Editor,
Since it is the beginning of a
new semester, there are many
new students here at Niles. If each
student would do his or her best
to make the newcomers feel at
home, they’d have a much better
impression of Niles.

SCHOOL IS for the birds! At
least that’s what two small spar
rows thought one day last week.
SEEING THE door to the As
sembly Room open, they flew in
side to get some education, or
so they thought.
With a thundering sound, 10
or 12 Nilehiers came trouping in
the room. Frightened by this in
terruption, the birds rushed to
ward the still open door, flew
out, and were not seen in school
again.
SCHOOL, they decided, is for
the humans!

Make Projects
GOT A KNACK for building
things out of wood? Then Nilehi’s
woodshop is the course for you.
There students learn, in addition
to making projects, the types of
wood, the woodworking industry
and general safety in a woodshop.
A PPR O X IM A TE LY three and a
half half days out of the week are
spent making projects. Along with
making these, the students learn to
use circular saws, jointers, band
saws, drill presses, wood working
lathes, power sanders, and hand
and portable tools.
On Friday of each week,
there is a discussion about what
the students have done in the
previous week and about the
w e e k l y textbook assignment,
which is on related information.
Projects that come out of Room
12B are T. V. stools, cobbler’s
benches, and wrought iron tables
and chairs; all projects being
made in the modern trend.

Karen Holmberg
BEING PRESIDENT of the
G.A.A., and Dance Director of the
spring musical, ’ ’Student L ife,”
are just two of the activities which
keep this busy senior girl hopping.
Karen has been an active G.A.A.
member for four years and was
the secretary last year. One of
her most exciting experiences at
Nilehi was when she was present
ed with the president’s gavel at
the formal induction ceremony last
year.
OTHER activities Karen parti
cipates in are Spotlighters, TriHi-Y, Choir, Usher’s Club, Reflec
tions, the water show, and year
book staff. Last year she was in
ducted into the National Honor
Society, which was also one of her
most thrilling experiences.
Ice cream, Italian food (es
pecially pizza), turquoise, red,
boys in saddle shoes, blazers,
bermudas, short haircuts, and
music, really rate high with
Karen.
DISLIKES include homework,
smoking, people who don’t keep
their word, and untrue friends.
WHEN ASKED what she did in
her spare time, Karen exclaimed,
“ Who has spare time?” Then she
added that she dances, plays her
accordion, goes golfing or bowling,
and works at handicrafts during
what spare time she has.
“ The University of Wisconsin
is the only school for me,” re' plied Karen when asked about
college plans. “ I would like to
major in physical therapy, and
would like to participate in mod
ern dance courses for extra
curricular activities.” ”
“ M Y SECRET ambition? Show
business!” I would love to be the
choregrapher of a big Broadway
musical,” admitted Karen.

“ THIS CLASS is for the birds,”
was the comment of Mr. Paul Eberhardt when his period 6 English
class received a new student, a
sparrow.
MRS. SPARROW, having been
injured, was perched on the out
side window ledge of Room 219,
and one chivalrous student, seeing
her injured, reached out and
brought her inside.
The sparrow was taken to the
biology laboratory of Room 316
where Mr. Robert Botthoff made
a brief examination. “ She has
no broken legs or wings, but her
sense of balance is off, and she
is injured internally,” stated Mr.
Botthoff.
DAVE ANDERSON, freshman,
who plans to be a veterinarian,
took the bird home, where she
now receives treatment.
IF MRS. SPARROW had to an

Big Secret; Revealed
THE BIG SECRET is about to
be reavealed! What exactly does
go on during the hours when a boy
and girl are getting ready for a
dance? Here’s the story of the
complete day as seen from both
the boy’s and girl’s side. The cou
ple is portrayed by Sarane Crowther, junior, and Bob Martin, sen
ior.
OUR HEROINE awakens at 10
a.m. and slowly crawls out of bed.
She wanders into the kitchen and
has a glass of orange juice and a
piece of toast (she’s afraid she’ll
gain weight and won’t fit into her
new dress).
Things move on slowly until
the time comes to go to the
beauty shop. She arrives at the
shop, and has to wait about half
an hour, because all the other
belles are getting curled for the
big evening. Finally her turn
comes, and she sits down to two
hours of snipping, pinning, bak
ing, and brushing. She emerges
with a head of shiny, curly hair
and a bright red face.
NOW SHE’S all ready—almost.
It seems that one of the new ear
rings can’t be found. Finally she
decides to wear another pair, and
changes all her jewelry. This is
the cue fo r the lost earring to ap
pear, which it readily does, and
all the jew elry is changed again.
SHE GLANCES at the clock.
He’s ten minutes late!
A car is heard pulling up the
driveway. She takes one look at
her room—it looks as though a
cyclone had just struck—and
walks serenely and calmly to
open the door. Her evening has
just begun.

The Trojans got the ball in the

roll right over the Little Giants.
In the first minutes of the
game, the teams seemed to be
evenly matched.
HIGHLAND P A R K had a hard
time keeping the ball in the face
of Nilehi’s keenly executed offen
sive and defensive plays.
Roger Peterson and Dale Kai
ser, leading the Trojans in re
bounding, left little chance for
George Moran, Joe Borgini, or
Buzzy Joseph of Highland Park
to control the boards.
Coach John Sheahan’s fiveman team had ended the half
leading 39-23.
The start of the third quarter
looked like it would bring the Troj
an’s downfall.
It appeared that Nilehi had lost
both their spirit and control of the
ball.
They tallied ohly 12 points for
the quarter, theii^lowest total of
the night. Highland Park was right
behind them with 19 points.
The team picked up in the last
quarter and sank four baskets
in a row. They held Highland
Park to the line and kept their
scoring down, i'
The starting five for the Trojans
were Bruce Reinger, Hal Neimer,
Dale Kaiser, Joel Febel, and Ro

to stay for the whole game, they
shouldn’t come at all.”
Frank McGinnis, junior: “ Charge

Sharon Gaynor, junior: “ Win.” ’
Larry Laske, junior: “ Send em”

Barb Larsen, senior: “ The doors
should be shut and someone

Sam Topel, senior: “ Don’t worry
about the kids who leave early;
worry about those kids who
never show up.”
A GREAT improvement in his
basketball playing has put Bruce
Reinger in front of the Nilehi fans
at basketball games.
Bruce, who couldn’t make the
basketball team in his freshman
year and played second-string
while he was a sophomore, is now
the captain of the varsity squad.
Bruce attributes his increase
in skill to practicing during his
free time while working at the
Evanston Golf Club this sum
mer.
“ I T R Y TO fire up the team. I
bring the ball up court and start
plays just like a quarter-back in
football,” commented this 5’11”
guard.
According to Bruce, the team
should do well in the Regionals
because their morale is high and
they have been constantly improv
ing.
Bruce is also a member of
the football and baseball squads,
squads.
.HIS MOST exciting moment
came when he was named a mem
ber of the All-Suburban baseball
team, and when he led the league
in hitting.
He has big plans for this year’s
baseball team.
“ We should take the Suburban
League and go downstate. A l
most everybody from last year’s
team is still with us.”
BRUCE’S LIKES include raviola, jazz, and “ C.J.” If he could
improve the school in any way,
he would have a room Adhere

The Trojans, who were previous
ly defeated by Leyden 71-57, will
have their chance for revenge as
they journey to York Community
High School in Elmhurst.
The Trojans feel they can
down Leyden in their first game
of the Regionals.
THE TROJANS will be after
their first victory since 1952 when
they were at Waukegan.
In 1953 and 1954 the Trojans
were defeated by Waukegan in the
second round of play.
Last year the Trojans played in
the Leyden Regional for the first
time because of the creation of
North Chicago High School, who
took the Trojan’s place at Wauke
gan.
The Trojans were defeated in
the second round by Oak Park.
THE SAME teams which com
peted in last year’s regional are
at York this year.
According to Coach John Sheahan, the roughest competition will
come from Proviso and Oak Park.
He went on to say that York,
Glenbard, Maine, Leyden and
the winner of the St. Procopius
District will give any team trou
ble.
IF THE TROJANS were to go
all the way to the State Title they
would do it this way:
After defeating Leyden they
meet the winner of the Oak ParkMaine game.
Winning that, they would play
either Proviso, York, Glenbard
or the St. Procopius District
winner in the final game of the
Regionals.
THE
TROJANS would then
travel to the Hinsdale Sectional
where in the first game they would
meet the winner of the Aurora
West Regionals.
