East Principal Shows
Dedication to Education
“I CHOSE EDUCATION as my profession be
cause in it I feel that I can be of the most service
and help to people.”
So believes Niles East Principal J. Keith Kavanaugh who has recently resigned his position at East
to assume the job of Principal at Morton High School
in Cicero.
“Morton, which has a larger enrollment than
does Niles, offers me the opportunity to be of service
to more people.”
Dr. Kavanaugh realizes that there are profes«
sions today which offer higher financial benefits but
he feels that, “An educator feels a certain dedication
to his position and reaps benefits which can far
surpass financial ones.”
Extends Belief
p r. Kavanaugh carries his philosophy about ded
ication to profession into other professions besides
education.
“Everyone should find a place in life where he
is most satisfied that he is of help and service to
his fellow men.
Dr. Kavanaugh began his service to Niles in
1?58 when he assumed the job of principal. He came
to Niles from Battle Creek, Mich.
A NATIVE OF Rock Island, Dr. Kavanaugh has
been a high school teacher, and has been a principal
of an elementary school, a junior high school, and
a high school.
Besides a B.E. degree from Illinois State Nor
mal, Dr. Kavanaugh’s training includes an A.M. and
a Ph.D. from the University of Chicago.
While at the University, he was a member of
the staff of the Midwest Administration Center, a
research organization concerned with problems of
educational administration.

“The real story of why this

Dear Students:
ALTHOUGH TODAY is the “of

year, many students have already
spent much time this past summer
organizing the events wh^ch will
become the highlights of what
promises to be an active and ex

The Student Service Organiza
tion leaders have devoted many
summer hours to the planning and
actual work involved in prepara
tion for assuming study hall, li
up October 3, and the well-organized
Freshman Orientation Program of
last Friday.
The enthusiasm and competence
that our student leadership has al
ready demonstrated, even before
school has opened, seems to me to
indicate that, despite the reduc

dent body has the talent, leader
ship, and spirit to make the 196465 school year the most success
ful Nilehi East has ever achieved.
Sincerely,

East Faces Crucial Year
guidance and once was a counse
lor.
Mr. Tyler’s greatest hope for
Niles is that the students should
do “everything in their power to
maintain and improve the reputa
tion of the school.” He is optimis
tic about what types of students he
will meet here and expects to see
everyone taking a greater part in
school activities as well as “cap
italizing” on the opportunity of at
tending “such a fine school.”
SINCE HIGH school years are
some of the most important in one’s
life, according to the new assistant
principal, he feels that students
should do everything they can to
benefit from the school’s main pur
pose-providing a good well-round
ed education.
In his spare time Mr. Tyler likes
to fish, take home movies, and
watch sporting events. He intends
to watch Niles compete in athlet
ics and hopes to see many victories.
“The main purpose of athletics,
though, is to inspire other students
to do well scholastically,” con
cluded the new administrator.

Letters to the Editor
Letters Wanted From Readers
TO NILES EAST STUDENTS:
Since this is the first issue of the year, the NILEHILITE staff in
vites the students to submit letters for publication in future issues. The
staff hopes to run this column every issue, but it is impossible to run
anything if nothing is submitted. We are making this invitation because
we feel a Letter to the Editor is the best way for a student to openly
express his views.
ALMOST ANYTHING that is written in good taste is suitable for
publication in the NILEHILITE, although this newspaper will not print
anything that isn’t signed. If, however, a student requests that his
name not appear in print but does sign his name to the letter, we
will omit the name for publication.
Quite frequently a Letter to the Editor is pertinent enough to in
spire an editorial on the same topic. Or perhaps even an editorial cam
paign. In either case, a Letter to the Editor can be an effective way
of getting people to consider a particular issue.
AFTER A LETTER is written it should be taken to the Jour
nalism Office, Room 124, and placed in the box for Letters to the Editor;
Since the NILEHILITE offers this opportunity for you to express

greater could happen, such as a person finding a beautiful maiden
trapped in a dungeon in the tower, the faculty rather than the students
having a Sweatshirt Day, the Ghost of Christmas Past appearing at a
school assembly, or a teen-age “ethnic” folksinger thinking of the Uni
versity of Chicago in any terms other than those which accompany
hirvana.
Unfortunately, I doubt that anything I have mentioned will ever
happen. In fact, I would expect a three-headed, seven-armed, nine
legged monster to attack the school during finals, a volcano to erupt in
the auditorium, or even for there to be soap in the boys’ washroom
near 106 before I would expect anything to re-illusion me.
BUT, I AM WAITING — waiting for freshmen to quit asking what
floor Room 242 is on, for a Homecoming Queen who doesn’t get asked
to the dance, for the blueprints to Niles South, for someone to listen
to the Daily Bulletin, or for a pep-assembly without those constantly

Eileen has asserted her individ

She was a member of the orches

to use her linguistic abilities as an

Eileen is interested not only in

who criticize Student Council as
just a figurehead should get their
two cents in to make it mean some

First on the List: BEAT NORTH!
PREDICTING A SEASON of over .500, Cross Country Coach Bill Warner expects
to better last year’s 7th place in the Suburban League and 9-9 overall finish.
The Harriers will rely upon three returning major “N” runners, Captain Greg
Gunderson, Chris Stahlke and Bob Gardiner; others who probably will round out the
remaining eight runners will be Senior Mitch Paradise, Juniors Danny Nielsen, Bob
Blitstein, Cliff Rudnick, Paul Gustafson, Pete Lanners, Bob Barys and Sophomore Bob
Schabilion.
“I feel we should do better iq thebig meets this year, but our underclassmen must
come through. Our weakness is that we have few boys with varsity experience,”
says Coach Warner. “Our schedule is tougher this year than last, but with our
team better balanced and our runners times closer to each other, we should do
better."”
The season begins the second week of school in a meet against Niles West, Niles
North and Maine West. The first scheduled Suburban League meet is against Highland
Park September 25.
THE NILES EAST varsity football team wants to win one game this y e a r according to Coach George Yursky. They want to beat North, and with the return of
10 lettermen and the gain of speedy backs from the sophomore team, their chances
look good.
Five of the returning lettermen are linemen. They include: ends Ron Schaffer
and Barry Schoeller, tackles Chuck Reynolds and Bill Nigut, and guard Steve Weiss.
All five boys are potential starters this year.
>4
Other lettermen include Junior Jim DeGraffenreid, and Seniors Tom Coleman,
Don Siegel, and Glenn Paul.
The 1963 sophomore team contributed the speedy backs which were the punch
that last year’s varsity lacked. Ira Upin and Dick Nitty are both speedsters who
could figure heavily in this year’s games.
IN ADDITION to these boys, Sophomore Gary Bills, brought up to the varsity
during pre-season practice, should liven up the team ’s offense.
Pre-season injuries will figure heavily in the team ’s chances for victory. Returning
senior letterman Glenn Paul is out for an indefinite period with a bad knee. Juniors
Jim DeGraffenreid and Ira Upin also have leg problems which may incapacitate them
at any time.
Captain of the team, Greg Gunderson, said that he was “surprised at the fine

STUDENTS who previously have

help of Student Council and its new
sponsor, Mr. Mel Pirok, have noth

For in the next few weeks, the
Student Council will be placing
on sale student activity tickets
which students will be able to use
for admission to all home sports
events.
The ticket will cost $3.50 and will
save students about $7 if they had
paid general admission at every
event.
“This activity ticket was planned
by the student activity directors of
the three divisions to ease the fi
nancial burden which students are
faced with at contests,” according
to Mr. Ted Beranis, student activi
ties director at East.
“Students will not have to wait in
long lines at the gates to buy
tickets. Also they will have the
convenience of a permanent tick

The ticket will be on sale until
Homecoming, October 3, and then
students will have to pay regular
prices at contests.
NORMAL STUDENT price at an
athletic event is 50 cents. This
year there are four home football
games, nine home basketball
games, nine home gymnastic
meets, five home swimming meets,
in addition to four junior varsity
home football games, six junior var
sity home basketball games, and
five sophomore swimming meets.
The ticket is good only for home
games and will not be accepted at
away contests or at IHSA spon
sored meets at Niles East.
Student Council will begin its
sales drive for the ticket at an all
school assembly on Tuesday, Sep
tember 15.
“The ticket is only an experiment
this year. If it sells well we will
plan on having one available to
students every year,” said Mr.
Beranis. “We are excited about the
plans for it.”
