THROUGH THE YEARS football has produced many great rivalries, and with
these rivalries have come- many now famous symbols of victory, such as the Little
Brown Jug and the Oaken Bucket.
The Plaque at Niles West holds two scores : 1961 — West 34, E ast 6, and 1962 — West
7, E ast 0. Since West became a four-year school in 1961, the annual East-West football
game has developed into one of the finest rivalries in inter-scholastic competition.
Few communities allow East and West schools to compete against each other.
This is the case- with Proviso, Morton, and Maine, to name just a few. Apparently, the
administrations at these schools do not believe that their students are m ature enough
to conduct themselves properly at such events.
Niles East and West have pioneered athletic competition between two schools
in the same community. The schools can point with pride to the conduct of their
students both on and off the playing field.
I feel sure that this year the student bodies will not cause the adm inistrators to
alter their opinions regarding this traditional rivalry.
IN A RECENT Chicago Sun Times article, Mr. Art Rooney, owner of the National
Football League’s Pittsburgh Steelers, gave his opinion on how a grid team is affected
by fan support, even on the pro level.
Mr. Rooney said, “The bigger the crowd, the better your team plays. I think
there’s an unseen percentage, like maybe a touchdown.
“ For instance, in New York last year we had the Giants (New York’s NFL entry)
beat and the people started to chant. The first thing you know, New York had a
touchdown. That (crowd support) is a tremendous advantage.”
TOMORROW THE TROJANS host the Indians of Niles West. The Trojans have
never beaten the Big Red, but many people close to the Easterners feel that this is
the year.
One reason for such optimism is Ted Kossof, 6-1, 200 pound senior fullback. With
Senior Halfbacks Mark Newburger and Tony Meles or Junior Glen Paul, Kossof gives
the Trojans a trio of running backs that could cause havoc in the Suburban League.
Senior Quarterbacks Dick Minors and Kent Brody balance the Trojan attack with
speed and pinpoint passing.
This year’s interior line promises to be bigger, stronger, and faster than Trojan
fans have seen in years. At tackles are Senior John Ziah, 6-3, 200, and Juniors Bill
Nigut, 6-2, 205, or Chuck Reynolds, 6-1, 190.
Stationed at guards are Senior Sam Applebaum and Juniors Steve Weiss or Maury
Sapoznik. The men of Troy have three capable centers in Seniors Steve Bernstein, A1
Manasin, and Junior Dave Ewing.
Several seniors return at the flanks, including Bert Hall, John Armstrong, and
B arry Perelgut.
East has 40 athletes on the varsity squad, giving the Trojans more depth than
they've had since 1960. Troy’s legions include Seniors Barry Rosnick and Dave
Tooredman, ends; Jerry Dolins, tackle; Steve Wallach and Denny Gibrick, guards;
and Steve Hayman, halfback.
Among the juniors are Barry Schoeller, Ron Shaffer, and Ed Ginger, ends; Bob
Baumann, tacklle; Bill Douglas, Steve Warren, and Larry Youngkranz, guards; John
Gay, center; Don Siegal and Tom Coleman, quarterbacks; John Sm art and Neil Chertack, halfbacks; and Scott DuBoff, fullback. .
Three sophomores working with the varsity are Jim DeGraffenreid and Ron Ponte,
core, fullbacks; and Bill Weiser, halfback.

N IL E H I,

We'll help you try.
The Trojans were a mighty race,
They fought with lots of vim,
Let's keep their fighting spirit
And we'll

win.

Let's gc now Gold and Blue,
We're true tc you,
We'll stand behind you always to a man.
Let's keep our colors flying high,
Our motto is tc dc or die,
Let's win this game, N ILE H I.

mee* Victory against Maine West, Coach Bill Warner stands with his harrier letter men. They are (back row, I. to r.) Mr. Warner, Larry Shapiro, senior, and Greg

“WE’RE GOING to lay low for
West, and then we’re going to clob­
ber them ,” predicted Mr. Bill War.
ner, varsity cross country coach.
Expanding on this striking com­
ment, Mr. W arner continued, “Our
captain and number one man, Se­
nior Mark Lieberman, has cut more
than half a minute from his best
time in ’62, and our other runners
have also improved on their last
year’s tim es.”
In a recent four mile jaunt, Mr.
W arner pointed out, Lieberman
broke ex-harrier MVP Mike P u r­
cell’s record for that distance by
51 seconds.
Big Crowd for Harriers
This year the annual East-West
harrier meet will be held between
halves of the Trojan-Indian grid
classic.
Mr. W arner has often criticized
E ast’s students for not supporting
their cross country team . With the
knowledge that his team will be
running before an expected 9,000
spectators tomorrow, he said, “ For
the first time in Niles history the
harriers will race before an audi­
ence of people other than their par.
ents or the football team.
“This may cause a few anxious

moments for some of the boys,
but I feel it will inspire them to
run better than ever before.”
The Trojans have several lettermen returning from last year’s fifth
place Suburban League finishers.
They include:
Captain Mark Lieberman, who
Mr. W arner believes “has more
courage and determination than
any other boy in the school” ;
Greg Gunderson, junior, the only
athlete to win a cross country m a­
jor letter as a freshman. Of Gun­
derson, Mr. W arner said that, along
with Don Clark of Waukegan, Greg
rates as one of the best juniors in
the Suburban League;
Chris Stahlke, junior, a major
letter winner as a sophomore and
the number four man for East;
Larry Shapiro, senior, who let­
tered as a sophomore but failed to
win a m ajor award last season.
This year Shapiro hopes to regain
his ’61 form as one of the top
runners on the Trojan squad;
Sandstrom ‘Most Improved’
Norm Sandstrom, senior, who,
according to Mike Purcell, is “the
most improved runner on the
squad. After a discouraging fresh­
man season, Norm applied him­
self to his running, and is now one

of the top mem on the team .
tomorrow’s pace against the Big
Larry Sacks, senior, one of the Red;
most diligent athletes at Niles,
Ron Karzen, senior, who because
who is expected to place highly in of a working schedule that con-

flicts with harrier practice, has
had to condition himself privately
and is still counted on to aid in
Trojan victories this season.

Trojan Sophomore Squads Ready;
Await Big Red Attack Tomorrow
THE FOUNDATION of any v ar­
sity athletic team must be laid
early in the high school lives of
aspiring a t h l e t e s . Freshmen
coaches prim arily teach fundamen­
tals, while coaches at the sopho­
more level m ust take these raw
skills and mold them into a func­
tioning uniit. Such is the task of
Sophomore Coaches Nick Odlivak,
football, and Richard Murphy, cross
country. Under their direction, the
sophomore squads have been m ak­
ing progress in preparation for to­
morrow’s encounters with the West
Indians.
Teams Appear Even
Mr. Odlivak, in his third year
as sophomore coach, feels confi­
dent that his squad will make a
fine showing, and that tomor­

row’s game against West is a tossup. “There will probably be no
more than a one-touchdown spread
between the team s,” he said.
“We’re looking good,” he con­
tinued. “ My assistants, Bob Hen­
derson, line coach, and Bill Collien, end coach, have done an ex­
cellent job with the squad.”
The boys who, according to Mr.
Odlivak, have looked best in prac­
tice and w ill start tomorrow are
Jeff Bonner, Stu Widman, ends;
Neal Baskin, Jeff Karol, tackles;
Hank Bofman, Bob Shuman,
guards; Randy Bills, center;
Steve Pate, quarterback; Ira
Upin, Jeff Schacht, half backs,
and Franz Lenhardt, fullback.
“ In general,” he concluded,
“ we’re a lot sm aller but much

quicker than in previous years.”
Mr. Richard Murphy is in his
first season as sophomore cross
country coach and seems to feel
confident about his rookie term .
“We should have a good year,”
he commented. “ I feel certain that
boys such as Sophomores Bob Blitstein, Cliff Rudnick, Ken Van Ommering and Dennis Bailen, and
Freshmen Bob Shabilion and Steve
Epstein will do their jobs and help
lead the frosh-soph squad to vic­
tory over West.”
Predicts Triumph
Finally,
the
harrier
coach
stressed, “Tomorrow we are going
to beat W est!”
The sophomore footballers will
take the field at 12 p.m. and the
cross country squad will run their
meet during half tim e of the soph­
omore game.

“East to Alaska” this week as
planning and preparation for the
1963 Homecoming continues.
“We hope this year’s parade w ill
be able to go through downtown
Skokie,” said Parade Co-chairmen
Jay Adair and Karen Dreffin, who
are planning the snake-line crawl­
ing of floats through the village
October 19. “So far we haven’t
received the necessary permit from
the village,” they added.
Karen and Jay have been proc­

essing the float applications they
received Wednesday.
Parade Work Revealed
“What m ost people don’t real­
ize,” Jay explained, “is that a lot
of work goes into planning a pa­
rade. The floats must be safely
constructed, a route m u s t be
planned, and rules for judging must
be written. A parade is not a spon­
taneous occurrence,” he laughed.
A brunch is also being prepared
for the Class of 1959, which is being
honored this year. The ’59 alumni

Requiem for a Lunch Period

No Hope for Open Lunch
IT DOESN’T TAKE much insight to realize th at the
cafeteria situation at Niles East is not ideal. But it takes
even less insight to realize th a t urging the administration
to open lunch periods is futile.
The administrative viewpoint has been succinctly stated
by Assistant Principal1 Dr. John Harris. “The school board
voted this decision (to close lunch periods). The administra­
tion must carry it out, and it is not going to be changed.”
The administration has good reasons for its unalterable
position on the lunch period issue. It believes th at the school
can best be operated under the present system. This opinion
is based on the behavior of Niles students when confronted
with the freedom to pick their eating place.
When lunch periods were open, truancy rates in­
creased, damage was done to private property surround­
ing the school, students smoked in hallways, and many
parents requested that their children be more closely
supervised.
Clearly, any solution to the lunch period problem must
be based on the assumption th at students will be confined Letters To The Editor
to the cafeteria. Suggestions such as more lunch lines, more
lunch periods, more food, wider doorways, and more monitors
are pertinent but not realistic. The suggestion of more
monitors is a rather interesting one, counterbalancing nicely
the chronic student complaint of over-supervision.
The greatest room for improvement lies with the atti Dear Editor:

Remares...
AS ONE WHO has had his nose bloodied, his
shins lacerated, and his toes trounced, I speak from
experience when I say that navigating the hall­
ways of East is purely survival of the fittest.
But experience is a great teacher, and my
experiences have taught me to be more fit in
my fight for survival among the bone-crushing
crowds of Nilehiers. I am more than happy
to share my plan for survival with my fellow
students, in the interests of humanity, of
course.
EQUIPMENT. Before trying to circulate (or even
walk) in the halls, one must obtain certain pieces
of equipment. First, a crash helm et. This w ill help
to soften the impact of the general science book
that some frosh couldn’t hang onto 13 stairs above
your defenseless head. The helm et w ill also quiet
the din of several hundred scream ing sophomores
on the bus after school. (Why is it that sophs make
so much more noise going home than arriving in
the morning?)
Next I suggest you wear goggles. These protect
you in that nervous situation while walking up a
crowded (what else) stairway behind some fool
with a ruler protruding from his notebook, which
he slings carelessly at his hip, m illim eters from
your nose.
An aqualung would be helpful if you suddenly

realize the stampeding jumble of humanity flood­
ing from the gym has cut off your oxygen supply.
Smelling salts would be vital for those tight, sticky
(and sm elly) situations near the library.
In the cafeteria you w ill find that em ergency
rations of food or water may support your life
until you reach the hot lunch line. Better bring a
folding chair, too.

A MASS of red polka dots and
dark striped shirts greeted Karen
Engstrom, sophomore, as her jet
plane landed in a Swedish airport.
Karen and 54 other Midwestern
students, sponsored by the Vasa
Order, a Swedish singing group,
participated in an all-expense paid

To pay for their expenses, the
group sang in various towns. In
return, the townspeople opened
their homes to them.
“Swedish home life is compar­
able to American fam ily life. The
food,” Karen decided, “is doubly
delicious—especially the creamfilled desserts.”
Although most people think of
Swedes as fair and blue-eyed, Kar­
en observed differently.
“Swedes are not stereotyped.
Many have dark hair and large
dark eyes. Because of the outdoor
activity, their complexions are tan
and ruddy.”

“The first thing I noticed about
the Swedes,” Karen remembered,
“was their appearance. The girls
are plain—no make-up, or lipstick,
and they have very short hair.
The boys are thin and clean cut.

“Besides saving teachers lots of

Out After Curfew — Who's Responsible?
by Sande Salstone
“IN BY 12 o’clock on Saturday
night? Not m e,” declared Harvey
Nilehi.
Within the next month, after Sko­
kie has passed an ordinance to en­
force Illinois’ first curfew, Harvey
w ill have to be in by 12 o’clock on
weekends—or else.
Whose Responsibility?
“Or else what?” is the question
Skokie trustees must answer be­
fore voting to enforce the 11 p.m.
on week nights, 12 p.m. on week­
ends, curfew. If a youngster, 17 or
under is out after hours, who
should be disciplined, he or his
parents?
Mrs. Alice Green, English teach­
er, thought parents should explain
the curfew to their children as they

would any other law. Along with
Mr. Hayward Wood of the Social
Studies Department, she felt stu­
dents should begin to share the re­
sponsibility of enforcing the cur­
few when they enter high school.
“Parents can’t be policemen for­
ever,” concluded Mrs. Green.
“If a teenager violates the law,
as in the case of a traffic accident,
he should be penalized,” asserted
Junior Ken Seeskin.
“Parents’ Job,” Say Teachers
Mr. George Yursky and Mr. Ber­
nard Welch, of the Math and Sci­
ence Departments, respectively,
agreed that parents should take re­
sponsibility for their children “24
hours a day.”
“It would scare kids more if
they thought their parents would
get in trouble,” said Junior Linda

Singer.
If a parent is fined, how w ill the
child get punished?
“Oh, he’ll get it all right,” Sen­
ior Tom Brantley affirmed.
Disagreeing with Tom, Senior
Bob Gevirtz thought that “from a
law’s eye view ,” anyone o 1 d
enough to understand the law
should be held responsible for
breaking it.
Students Irresponsible
Sophomore Lynn Stein countered,
“The mere necessity of a strictly
enforced curfew shows that we are
not able to be responsible for our­
selves.”
Middle-of-the-roaders Kathy Bil­
liard, senior, and Joel Levin, soph­
omore, suggested a plan to warn
parent and child at the first of­
fense. Then, if a father couldn’t

control his son, the boy would be in
the hands of the law.
“Special classes for both,” is
P.E. teacher Barbara Olsen’s an­
swer.
Mr. John Palm , English teacher,
cautioned, “A curfew is a serious
thing—comparable to marshal law
( J E 'M

in other countries.” He said that
“it’s too bad” when the communi­
ty must force parents to assume
their moral obligations.
“But punishing the parents won’t
keep the kids in,” speculated Sen­
ior Robin Skolnik. “All I can
think of is a fence.”
