DEAR EDITOR,
DEAR EDITOR,
To most of the students a basketball game or any other game is

the time or money, without ever

a part of it and a very important
part, too. It’s to the members of
the team that you are so important.

Nilehi: I feel that I am getting a
well rounded education by mixing

found here, and by having the op
portunity to join school clubs to

Everyone plays to win, and
winning is important. But other
things are important, too. Good
sportsmanship, fair play, team
spirit, and school spirit play a
vital part in athletics. School
spirit is up to the students. Some
students say that Niles never

Much of the time that is true, but
there isn’t much to win for if
your school isn’t even behind

PEOPLE AREN’T ABSOLUTE
TODAY’S CUPID IS quite different from the legendary figure :
of yesteryear. The old-fashioned Cupid was typified by carrying a
quiver of arrows and gripping a bow in his cherubic little fist. This
image has vanished with the hoop skirt, penny candy store, and
nickel valentine.
VALENTINE’S DAY IS HERE, but there don't seem to be any
new couples holding hands. A “Pair of Hearts” should help remedy
this.
•
Jim Iverson said, when asked what happened to Sputnik in Miss
Virginia Stemp’s fifth period class, “It had puppies—it got too close
to Pluto! ”
Mr. Donn Wright was telling his first period sociology class about
fraternity “hash” sessions. He said,. “The fraternity looks at the boy
in the light of what he can do for them—like if his father owns a
brewery , .
; «
.
In his fourth period English class, Mr. Paul Eberhardt pointed
out the need for verbs in our language. He mentioned that when a
small child wants his dog to remove his anatomy from the immediate
vicinity, he exclaims, “Scram!.”
On Dr. John Betts’ black board during finals: I pledge on my
honor that I saw nothing of value when I copied from my neighbor.'
Speaking of tests, after one of Mr.- Paul - Eberhardt’s English
tests, the dazed second period junior class sat in silence when Mr.
Eberhardt declared, “Turn in your homework papers before»you
pass out.”
The modern Cupid, decked out
in ivy-league clothes and crewneck sweaters, has a real “col
legiate look” and cart be found
on any high school campus.
GETTING TO KNOW...
If you haven’t guessed who
Cupid is by now, you’ll soon
realize that this debonair young,
matchmaker is none other than
one of your best friends. In this
form, Dan Cupid can be just
about anyone: Harvey Nilehi,
Joe Athlete, or Suzy High School.
These twentieth-century Cupids

man’s fancy turns to what a
young girl’s fancy has been on

Jan Peterson
“HI, BETTY, this is Tom. Say,
are you doing anything Saturday
night? No? Well, I have a friend
who’s in from college, visiting with
us for a few days, and I was
wondering if you’d like to go out
with him. What does he look like?
Well . . . he has a real swell
pérsonality and he’s a great guy!
You’ll go? Swell! We’ll see you
at seven then. Byè, and thanks
a lot.”
As you may have guessed, the
real great guy with the swell
personality” didn’t turn out to
be exactly what Betty expected.
Anticipating a suave and so
phisticated college man, she was
surprised when her friend, act
ing as Cupid, introduced her to
a college version of Harvey Nile

The horse and buggy Cupid sup

them to fall in love. His modern

Gary’s high school life has been
filled with activities since he was
a freshman. Spanish Club, Student
Council, and Hi-Y have all been on
Gary’s schedule.
In his sophomore year Gary
joined the Boys' Glee, and in Ms
junior year made choir and was
in the musieale. He is also in this
year’s musical. Gary enjoys mu
sic quite a bit outside of school
as the Ski Club’s secretary and also. He likes classical music as
well as jazz, but he admits a

THERE’S a tendency in this mod
ern world
To answer every query
With a flat “yes” or “no,”
And nothing more,
Oh, modern world be wary—
Few things are absolute.
AS HONEST men lie,
So happy men cry;
And it’s equally strange to find
That the selfish share,
The indifferent care;
And evil men can be kind.
NOT ALL intellects think,
Not all femme fatales slink;
And somewhere lies the reason
Why shy people talk,
And.brave people balk;
And. patriots can commit treason.
A LAZY man works,
An ambitious one shirks;
And a weak man can be a brute;
Students are teachers,
Sinners are preachers;
No,, people, aren’t absolute.

A Valentine for Dad and Mom,
And a special one for boy friend

A new red dress with lots of net,

Now for the senior dance you’re
set.
A date with your guy to a show or

To give you his ring might well be
his aim.
A-quiet evening at home with the
folks,
Watching T. V. or drinking cokes,
Cutting a rug to some new tune,
Listening to Elvis or maybe Pat
.Boone.
Out for a walk to think things
through,
The stars are all out, not just a
few.
Whether you’re home or on the go,
At a party or a show,
Valentine’s Day is lots of fun,
For you and me and everyone.

“Why should I;go to the basketball

meet), our team ‘stinks’ they never
win.”
At the pep assembly last week
Mr. Byram said, “Win, losé, of
draw you should support your
team.” I agree wholeheartedly
with our wrestling coach. Niles is
full of “fair weather fans.” When
our teams are winning some peo

losing there are more players
than fans.
THE BACKFIRING OF SOME
Sortal-strategy and the poor Niles
shooting spelled the Trojans tenth

place New Trier at Niles last Fri
day. By replacing the starting five
with five “fired-up” juniors coach
Sortal almost pulled off the great
est strategic maneuver since DDay, but alas it failed.
Our wrestlers faced Proviso
(last year’s State champs and
this year’s league co-champs),
Evanston (who shared the league
title with Proviso), Waukegan
(who has two potential state
champs) and Morton and New
Trier (two other powerhouses).
Vet every week the wrestlers
showed up (which is more than I
can say for most Nilehiers) and
gave their best to win.
