No Driving Permits
Issued This Year
“We feel that student driving
October 11, 1957 creates opportunity for accidents
and injury,” said Mr. Keith Hertweek, assistant principal of the
East Division. “Therefore no driv
ing permits will be given out this
year. If a student feels he must
drive to and from school, he will
have to park his automobile out
side the restricted area.”
Students may not park within
a three block radiuus of Nilehi.
This development resulted from
home owners’ complaints about
Queen and Court Reign
Over "Crowning Glory"
THE “CROWNING GLORY” of
Homecoming, 1957, will be the
Homecoming dance at 8:30 p.m.
on October 12. At the dance, Nilehi’s first Homecoming queen will
be crowned.
O ti-Q
The Student Council, sponsored
by Mr. Ray Carrell, conducted
elections in East Division home
rooms on Tuesday, October 8, for
the queen and her court. A senior
girl will be queen and she will
have two seniors and two juniors
in her court.
Senior candidates for queen in
clude: Mary Lou Gengler, Addienne Lee, Barbara Kretschmar, Phyllis Bronis, and Marlys
Johnson. Junior candidates for
the court are: Mary Lee Isel,
Sandra Schmidt, Paula Rudich,
Sandra Brumley, Karen Hehn,
and Penny Boom.

Niles doesn’t have enough school

to get this spirit they are told that

If enough emphasis were placed

proper school spirit to compete

try.”
Dr. Mannos was born and reared
in Chicago. He attended Hyde
Park High School and Wilson Jun-
ior College. He earned his Bache
lor of Science degree at Northern
Illinois University, and his Mas
ter’s at Northwestern. He recently
received his doctorate in adminis
tration at Indiana University.
HE TAUGHT GENERAL science
and biology at Bowen, Chicago
Vocational, and Leyden township
high schools.
In additional to golf, Dr. Manflos
likes fishing, science,-and biology.
His pet hobby is trying to under
stand children. One of his many
ambitions is “to make the kids
realize that a good principal is a
friend and not an inflicter of
punishment.”
DR. MANNOS is married and
has three children, two of which
attend Sharp Corner school in Sko
kie.
“Niles stands out because of a
fine administrative staff, an ex
cellent student body, co-opera
tive parents, a highly profession
al teaching staff, and a friendly
spirit among students, teachers,
staff, and maintenance people,”
said Dr. Mannos.

“I’LL ALWAYS remember my
first crush,” laughed Karen, sec
retary of the senior class. “I had
been in school two days when I
saw my handsome senior hero in
the corridor. Wen he said hello
I actually tripped on the stairs!”
THE GREETING,* “Hi there!
What do you say?” sets people to
thinking up clever answers, but
when the question is asked by
blond senior Jerry Keidel, he’s
gone before you can answer.
If Jerry seem s to be always
in a hurry, it’s due to his many
responsibilities as President of
theEast Division Student Council.
As president of this vital organ
ization, Jerry says, “What Stu
dent Council needs most is the
complete co-operation of the stu
dents and a feeling of unity. We
also could use a little more mon
ey in the treasury,” he added
with a grin.
Being active in school affairs is
nothing new to Jerry who was
Council alternate and homeroom
vice-president in his freshman
year. As a sophomore he was pres
ident of his class. In his junior
year, Jerry was vice-president of
Council. Along with these activities,
Jerry has played basketball and
baseball for three years and is
now out for his second year of
cross-country.
His biggest thrill was being
voted most valuable player in
basketball both freshman and
sophomore years.
AS TO THE future, Jerry is un
decided on what school he wants
to attend but plans to go into either
advertising or coaching. His advice
to freshmen is, “You get as much
out of high school as you put into
it, and whatever you do, give it
your best.” .
Last year Karen was recipient
of the Hi-Y citizenship award.
This friendly senior girl has al
ready spent three active years
at Nilehi in Student Council, TriHi-Y, Ushers Club, Spanish Club,
Pep Club, and Reflections Rev
elries. This year she is secre
tary of a Student Supervised
Study Hall and a Golden Galleon
associate member.
LIKE MOST high school,girls,
Karén rates stuffed animals and
crew neck sweaters high on her
list of likes. She also likes, the split
shift, because she likes the extra
free time it gives her. Karen’s
favorite food is strawberry whip
ped cream pie. (It’s fattening, but
it doesn’t seem to have harmed
her.)
Her main dislike is homework
on weekends, especially the busy
ones. Karen’s pet peeve is a
common lament: she doesn’t
like to see students leave foot
ball games early.
