Stairway
To
Success
Now Is The Time...
As Nilehi starts its twenty-sixth year of sendee
with added modern facilities, the desire to attain higher
goals should be uppermost in the minds of the student
body.
It will be easier for the freshmen to set high
standards for high school success, because they have
not formed the complacent habits of their older
counterparts. The veteran classes will find it easy
to turn over the “new leaf,” but it will be a challenge
for them to hold the leaf down and keep it from
blowing on the other side again. For the latter job,
ambition and initiative will be the keynotes.
However, ambition and initiative can be encouraged
more easily now thanks to the building additions which
should help make top-grade work more enjoyable. In
a new atmosphere, new attitudes will add up to success.
Success — th a t is what new and old alike should
strive for. No more half-baked assignments will be the
first step on the right road. During the entire class
period every mind in each class should pay strict a t
tention, while sincere, thoughtful questions should be
the rule rather than the exception.
Success — this will be more of a reward than the
“pleasure” some will derive from their loafing and
classroom antics. Yet this success should not be just
gradewise. The comprehension of ideas and the ability
to apply theory and facts practically is just as import
ant as a grade.
So now is the time for all men to strive to do their
best. Personal pride can give one a foothold, but to
quote the American Mercury Magazine, “The persist
ent exercise of a little extra effort is one of the most
powerful forces contributing to success.”

The boys, however, criticized the

The graduates were also asked
to give their advice to incoming
freshmen.
“The freshmen tend to believe
the advice more,” Miss Toivola ex

students rather than adults.”
Grads Advise Freshmen
The advice given most often was

Unlike every newcomer, however,

Niles impresses Suzi because “it
looks like a school.” To show her

try out for Reflections and the fall

is recommended that students have no more
than 13 activity points. Extra-curricular activities are graded ac
cording to amount of time required for participation. For example,
dusting erasers for a math teacher is graded at 2 points. Emptying
wastebaskets in the NILEHILITE office is worth 13 points. (We use
a lot of paper.)
Admit. What you need to get into class after cutting to find out
what you need to get into class after being absent.
Student Service Organization (SSO). Students just like you and

Detention. What you get for walking, talking or squawking in a
study hall.
Pass. This is similar to a “ Get Out of Jail Free” card. Passes
let you leave your class for emergencies, (such as fire drills or air
raids). Passes come in assorted colors to match your clothes. Colors
available are pink, blue, green, yellow, gray, white, and magenta.
Pony. Illegal help on tests for those who horse around in class.
Most students who get “colt” feet use them.
Homeroom. When you go there, they have to let you in.
Maierhofer School Bius. Large, yellow and black vehicle used to
transport students to and from school. These vehicles can easily be
identified by their overabundance of students and insufficient seating.
Lay Reader. Critic who grades English themes on the premise
that “ Everyone makes mistakes, and the one who wrote this has
made every mistake.”
Death Sentence. Report cards. They contain loads of information,
such as who you are, what you are doing in school, and how well
you are doing. Death sentences are sent to your parents who in
terrogate you by asking questions like “What are you doing in school?”
“How well are you doing?” and “Who are you?”
IBM. This stands for the words uttered when a student discovers
that death sentences have been issued. It means “I’ll be murdered!”

“ REFLECTIONS ’63 WILL be the
best yearbook yet,” predicts Editor-in-Chief Al Winter.
Al, who attended Northwestern
University’s Summer Institute for
high school students, has brought
back several innovations he hopes
will liven up Reflections.
One of Al’s ideas is a special
yearbook section devoted to stu
dent opinions on several pressing
issues. He believes that the opin
ions in this section will add lasting
significance to the yearbook. The
annual will serve not only as a
record of the students’ activities,
but as a record of their thoughts.
New Section Added
In past years, Reflections has ap
peared inadequate to Al because
many significant events that were
not photographed were not record
ed. A new section called “The Edi
tors Notebook” will comment on
these unphotographed events.
A more efficient staff organiza
tion is another innovation. In addi
tion to the regular staff of about 20,
Reflections will have a reserve
staff of 10 to be called in during
the hectic deadline days. The re
serve staff will check the many
little errors, Al says, such as the
misspelling of names, that sepa
rate good yearbooks from excel
lent ones.
Other Editors Named
Al’s staff includes Harriet Verbin, co-editor; Helene Levin, aca
demic editor; Merle Jacob, activi
ties editor; Joan Kroichick, special
events editor; Herb Zarov, sports ,
editor; Janet Harris, GAA editor;

James Heiniger Named New Athletic Head;
Turnover O f Coaching Staff Continues
Board Creates
Welfare Post
Track, Gymnastic Mentors,
Four Others Join Ranks
Trojan track coach and physical
education director Jam es Heiniger
was appointed director of physical
welfare for Niles Township by the
Nilehi board of education early
this summer.
Niles East opens the *62-’63 school year today with not only 726
new freshmen, but also six new athletic coaches.
These six men represent a far-reaching turnover in the coaching
staff at Niles which began last spring with the departure of four
coaches and the athletic director, Mr. Harold Isaacson.
As direetor of physical welfare,
Mr. Heiniger replaces former
Athletic Director Harold Isaac
son, who retired last year. How
ever, Mr. Heiniger’s job covers
a/much wider area than athletic
director.
It includes supervision of the
physical education, health, and
driver education programs, as well
as being responsible for bus trans^
portation and healthful school con
ditions. In his new capacity, Mr.
Heiniger will also act as an ad
visor to the superintendent and
school principals.
Although the new post is ad
mittedly a tremendous undertak
ing for one person, Mr. Heiniger
is eagerly anticipating the chal
lenge. He pointed out that he will
be free from much of the timeconsuming paper work which Mr.
Isaacson was forced to handle.
“Much of the work, such as the
actual scheduling of contests with
other schools and the hiring of of
ficials, will now be taken care of
by the directors of student activi
ties. They are the ones who will
know when the needed facilities
will be available, and thus they
will be able to schedule according
ly. It should be much more effi
cient this way.”
A Nilehi graduate, Mr. Heiniger
thrilled many Trojan fans during
his prep days, winning nine varsity
letters in track, football, and bask
etball. He later went on to star at
Bradley University in football and
track, and in 1956 was honored by
being named into that school’s Hall
of Fame.
Following Bradley, Mr. Heiniger
attended Western Michigan Uni
versity, where he received his mas
ter’s degree. He returned to Niles
in 1958 to teach and coach, and in
1960 took a leave of absence to
work toward his doctorate at In
diana University. He came back
to East last fall.

According To Art
by ART ROTSTEIN

A term which might be used to describe this year's
Trojan grid ensemble is scrappy. Although the squad may
not be the fastest and biggest Nilehi has ever fielded, this
team appears to be one which will give way grudgingly and
will battle down to the wire.
The line should be sturdy, with last year’s starting guards, John
Papandrea, the team captain, and Bill Richardson, bolstering the
interior, and several juniors and seniors battling it nut for starting
berths in the tackle and center slots.
THE TROJAN OFFENSE has been revamped and should show
more of a scoring punch than last fall’s contingent. Coach Pat
Rooney has installed a pro type offense, replacing the split T. The
Trojans should possess a more potent attack with the passing game
being stressed more, and if the linemen can afford the signal callers
ample protection, the Nilesmen will be able to strike quickly and
deadly.

If the passing game flounders, Coach Rooney will likely fall back
on a grind-it-out running attack, and although he doesn’t have a
breakaway sprinter in his camp, there are several burly backs, in
cluding Ted Kossof, Bob Shearn, and Ross Bendel, to do the carrying
on the bread and butter plays up the middle.
MUCH OF THIS YEAR’S SUCCESS depends on the ability of the
offensive line to perform its job adequately. An inability to provide
sufficient pass protection and blocking for the ball carriers proved to
be one of the greatest weaknesses last year, and will determine how
Nilehi fares during this campaign.
At any rate, the Trojans of ’62 should be vastly improved over their
counterparts of one year ago for the simple fact that there is a lot
of hustle and spirit on the team. With the support of the student
body, Nilehi can have a winning football team this year.

Among this contingent are eight

Other seniors are Ross Bendel,

juniors include« Bert Hall, Dick

Jeff Isel, Ted Kossof, and Steve

Coach Rooney has installed a
pro type offense, utilizing one
halfback as a flanker, or third
end. This brings about a better
passing game, for there are three
targets for the quarterback’s
tosses. Newberger will probably
get a starting shot at this post.
Other possible starters will be
