Bill Connell
Diane Courtright
Bill Connell is a senior boy who
has some well-thought-out ideas
about a possible improvement at
Nilehi.
Since Bill has been attending
Nilehi for four years and has
been out for football, track, and
cross country, a member of
Union Board, a supervisor in
SSSH, and the president of the
Spanish Club, he has seen quite
a variety of activities which en
abled him to form his idea
about th e. way to improve the
student council.
“If you want to get something
done, give it to a busy man to do.”
Most .everyone has. heal’d this pro
verb which is certainly very true.
And it accurately applies to one
Between her school work and
her time consuming school activ
ities Diane has little time to her
self. As a member of both Choir
and Vivace, the wardrobe direc
tor of the musicale, chairman of
the Caps and Gowns Committee
from senior cabinet, and the ed
itor of the SSO News, Diane finds
she spends many long hours in
school, after school.
Bill justifies his entire view by
pointing out that, “It would be
all right to give more control to
the students gradually, because
we have handled well what we
„ have been given so far.”
During the summer Bill and his
family go up to Wisconsin where
“we rent a place for a few weeks
and fish, swim and water-ski.”
Dixieland is the music Bill pre
fers and his favorites are the
Dukes of Dixieland and Pee Wee
Hunt. As far as food and restau
rants go, Italian food, steaks,
and the London House head Biljjs
list.
“I work on my ‘classic’, automo
bile in my spare time.” Bill says
he’s very proud of the “Blue
Beast.” “It’s been around the
world—it has a piece of junk on it
from everywhere you could name.”
Bill’s formula for happiness is
a simple one. He advises, “ First
of all, fulfill your responsibil
ities. Then, once that is com
pleted, you are free to do what
ever you want.”
What Bill wants to do after grad
uating is to go to the University
Because of a deep interest in
languages Diane, a National Hon

studying both French and Spanish
simultaneously. When she goes to
college she will become a language
major. “I don’t know yet whether
I shall major in Romance lang
uages or in just one particular lan
guage, as French or Spanish.”
Diane’s secret desire is to be
able to travel in Europe. “I
would love to see all of France;
her chateaus, cathedrals, mu
seums, and restaurants are
unique throughout the world.”
Diane is quite content with the
music created' right here in the
United States, however. The Mod

artists.
After her college days, Diane

“I think I’ve got spring fever and it isn’t even spring!"
That famous refrain no longer holds true, since March 20 has
long since passed. However, there’s no doubt about it—spring
fever is in the air!
With those clear, sunny days at hand, how can anyone
not feel its affects? Just to watch children playing, aril
gently swaying trees, marked with the first signs of green,,
makes you want to be outside. The sun seems to stir life
into winter’s deadening attempts, and you can almost smell
lilac bushes and tulips. Therefore, doing homework proves
to be a minor miracle.
Spring fever attacks its subjects; in a variety of ways, most
of which have quite common symptoms. Sauntering dreamily
down Oakton Avenue no longer means you should be placed
on a psychiatrist’s couch. It rather suggests that you’ve been
stricken with Mother Nature’s answer to work—spring fever!
Kikewise, setting out to wash the-car on a sunny Saturday
morning may have hidden monetary motives, but chances are
also likely that the weather may play the. deciding factor!
Although homework runs a close second, classrooms
seem to be the hardest hit by spring fever’s crushing blow.
Teachers find it increasingly difficult to make contact with
their daydreaming students. Gazing out of the window and
restlessness seem to symbolize this phase of spring fever.
Listening to the teacher is also increasingly difficult, while
concentrating becomes absolutely impossible for some! Thoughts
wander from “Gee? I wish I were outside,” to “I wonder who
Johnny Jones is going out with now?”
To combat this “ annual springtime evil,” teachers have
devised an ingenious method of retaliation—tests! Although
nearly the entire student body of Nilehi bitterly objects,
there can be no denying that it proves effective.
The only flaw in that wonderful springtime .feeling is that
with exams ahead for all of us and graduation for some,
we’ve got to “buckle down and study.” Groans and moans only
make matters worse, and homework is prolonged. But cheer up.
After all, there’s always summer]

SOLITUDE
Laugh and the world laughs with you;
W eep, and you weep alone.
For the sod old earth must borrow its mirth
B ut has trouble enough of its own.
Sing, and the hills w ill answer;
Sigh, it is lost in the air.
The echoes bound to a joyful sound
But, shrink from voicing care.
Rejoice, and men w ill seek you;
Grieve, and they turn and go.
They want fu ll measure of all your pleasure,
But, they do not need your woe.
Be glad, and your friends are many;
Be sad, and you lose them all.
There are none to decline your nectared wine,,
But, alone you must drink life’s gall.
Feast, and your halls are crowded;
Fast, and the world goes by.
Succeed and give, and it helps you live
But, no man can help you die.
There is room in the halls of pleasure
For a long and worldly train,
But, by and by we must file on
Through the narrow aisles of pain.

Petitions for Prom Leaders
.
Preparations for the 1958 Junior Prom are keeping upperclassmen
busy as the “big event” approaches.
“Have you signed a petition for prom leaders yet?” is the
familiar question posed during class time as well as before and
after school. There is a great deal more to petitioning however,
than just signing a piece of paper.

Varsity, Soph
If you “fans” are playing the
popular parlor game called, “Sup
port your school,” score two points
if you were at the game, If you
were working subtract two points
and if you just did not come lose
three points. “Support your school”
is fun game with simple rules.
NILEHI’S VARSITY and soph
tennis squads shutout Glenbrook
5 to 0 apiece Friday at Niles. All
Trojans won on both levels to
make the opener a success.
Varsity number one man, Ron
Johnson won 6-2, 6-4. Number two
singles Ron Carlson lost the first
two games and then won 12 in a
row to emerge triumphant 6-2, 6-0.
Third singles Carroll Eichhorn
was the only Trojan varsity man
who lost a set. He, nevertheless,
won 6-2, 1-6, 6-3.
The first doubles team of Dick
Hodgekinson and Bob Glassberg
started off poorly (down 1-3) but
also came out on top, 6-4, 6-3.
The second doubles team of
Steve Rioff and Ken Kramer
(both juniors) did well in their
first varsity effort, winning 6-2,
6-0 to complete the sweep.
The soph team was by no means
idle during this as they, too, swept
the five matches. Mark Peppercorn played first singles and won
easily, 6-0, 6-0. On Saturday the
sophs were outclassed five to
nothing by Maine, also at Niles.
All were non-league meets.
The spring rules are: Score
one point for each baseball game
you see of the Niles varsity. Two
points for each track meet of
tennis match. If you leave before
the conclusion subtract % point.
(All point totals are doubled for
away games.)
If you see any contest on the
soph level you get triple score on
even-numbered days and quad
rupled score on odd-numbered
days. The process if reversed for
frosh games. All totals are further
doubled for JV games.
Weather also enters into the
simple scoring. If the temperature
is 80 degrees or more deduct 1/13
of your day’s score unless it is a
Saturday then subtract 2/23 of the
total. For each degree under 75
add 1/19 of a point. Rain or threat
of rain triples the week’s entire
score.

MIKE HIRSCHTICH pitched a
no-run, no-hit game for the Nilehi
sophomore baseball team, Tues
day. He added two hits to the 8 to
0 win.
It was the young right hander’s
first no-hitter in organized ball.
He yielded two walks and struck
out nine in the prodigious effort
which was shortened to six innings
by darkness. The first of the two
walks did not come until the fifth
frame. Up until this time only a
couple of errors had allowed Card
inal players to reach base.
After the game Mike said that
he knew that he had a no-hitter
going all the way. The bench was
silent for the first few innings,
but in the fifth someone men
tioned the no-hitter. This did not
unnerve Hirschtich, as he said
later that he did not believe in
the superstition that it’s a bad
luck to mention a no-hitter dur
ing the time in which it is being
pitched. Afterwards when asked
how he felt during the game he
said, “Tired.”
Without runs, of course, the feat
would not have been a victory. A
big third inning took care of this
end. Shortstop Bruce Stephen
cleared the loaded bases with a
triple to provide the big blow.
Hirschtich, himself, helped out
with a double and a single.
In previous games the sophs
beat Oak Park and lost an abbrievated contest to Maine. All
three games were non-league
duels. The Suburban League

MORE STANDOUT PITCHING
by Ron Chez and slugging by Bill
Ihne led Niles to a 9 to 1 win over
Glenbrook, Saturday. Chez went
all the way fanning 11. Niles now
has won four out of four> three of
the decisions were gained by
Chez.
Niles got off a fast 3 to 0 lead
in the first inning and had a 9 to
0 lead when Glenbrook scored their
run. Pinto, their second pitcher,
doubled to lead off the fifth for
the Spartans’ first hit. Schmadebeck walked to put two men on
base; after a strikeout Ron let
loose with a wild pitch, the batter
then grounded out to bring in the
runBill Ihne smashed his second
home run of the season into right
field. The big left-handed first
sacker also socked a triple in the
onslaught of the home nine. His
two RBI’s boosted his total to
four for the year. Bill’s average
is now well over the .300 mark.
Jack Berg hit his third three
base hit of the year and Henrici,
his second. The other extra-base
hit was a double by shortstop
Ron Lis, who also had a single
to snap out of his brief slump.
There were some interesting
sidelights to Chez’s feat today. He
contained Glenbrook’s power and
their number two pitcher, Pinto
got both hits. Also, Ron’s arm was
a little sore. Two hits, one run, 11
strikeouts — Chez does all right
with a sore arm.

RON CHEZ AND Tom Dobrowlski combined to pitch a three hit
shutout over the Arlington nine,
8 to 0, April 3 at Niles. Bill Ihne
and Dave Kloepfer hit home runs
to lead the 13 hit Trojan attack.
Chez worked the first five in
nings and thus picked up his sec
ond win of the young season. Ron
retired the first 11 men he faced,
seven by strikeouts! Then he seem
ingly tired a bit and yielded a
pair of singles and a walk before
Dobrowlski appeared on the scene.
Before leaving he had accumu
lated nine strikeouts.
The Trojans did some robust
hitting, also. Of the 13 hits, six
went for extra bases. The big
five run third inning was high
lighted by a long homer down
the right field line and into Lin
coln ave. by first baseman Bill
Ihne with a man on base. Kloep
fer who hit a three base hit In
the third, came back in the sixth
to show it was no fluke by blast
ing a home run over the right
fielder’s head into the “forest”

Mink and Keidel each hit two
singles to aid in the destruction
of the Cardinals. Maryanski and
Henrici each doubled and Lis’
triple totaled up to six extra base
hits.
