Yearbook Strives For

“ THIS IS NOT yearbook’s ‘Year for a Change,’ ” insists “ Reflec

still need 100 per cent student and faculty subscriptions for a larger
and more colorful book, and we’re back again for another go at it,”
. laughed the two-year veteran editors.
“ Students don’t realize the exhaustive amount of time and money
which goes into the production of a yearbook,” continued Joe. “ For
example, each colored picture, regardless of size, costs $250 to print.”
The yearbook staff has
been
working on the book’s theme and
style since last June, and Marcie
promises that the theme will be
“ completely different from and
more appealing than any which
has been used in the past.”
November is an important month
for the yearbook. The sales drive
and activity pictures both come in
the week of November 1-5. Senior
portraits will be taken from No

will be taken from November 8-12.
“ Since the sales drive is the only

Much To Gain
In Tutoring Project
by Danae Prousis
P E O P L E E V E R Y W H E R E are indeed cognizant of teen
age violence and crime. Few people, however, realize how
much good is being accomplished by today’s youth, specifi
cally the 800 college and high school students participating
in the Lawndale Tutoring Project.
These Chicagoland studentp spend one evening each w*»ek
tutoring gram m ar school students in the poverty-riddled
Lawndale area, in an effort to assist and encourage them in
overcoming enormous economic handicaps.
Forum
A Look at Delinquency
O N E W E E K A G O the greater Chicago area observed Chicago Law
Enforcement W e e k ( C L E W ) . D u e to the significance o f this event, the
N I L E H I L I T E feels it a most oportune time to discuss the topic o f juven
ile delinquency.
In 1958, less than 2 per cent o f the nation’s total juvenile popula
tion or (1,720 per 100,000) were found guilty o f indictable offenses.
In 1954 the figure was 1.4 per cent and in 1938 it was only 1 per cent.
In other words, the delinquency problem doubled in a period o f twenty
years. Last year, the FB I noted an 11 per cent increase in juvenile arrests
from the previous year. Persons under 18 comprised 17 per cent o f all
criminal arrests. But how is this national trend related to Skokie.
I N S K O K IE there are 20,000 adolescents between the ages o f 11
and 18, representing approximately 26 per cent o f the village's total
population. Skokie’s juvenile delinquency over the past year has not
increased, but has maintained the same level o f that o f the preceeding
year. H ow ever, it is noteworthy that the per cent o f repeating offenders
has significantly decreased. In 1959, o f all Skokie’s juvenile arrests, 27
per cent again committed some offense. From then, until the present
year, this percentage has been reduced one-half, to 12 per cent.
This reduction is a credit to the youth bureau o f Skokie’s Police
Department. Three juvenile officers, com bining 120 man hours weekly,
handle between 800 to 1,000 juvenile cases annually.
Case histories from Skokie’s Juvenile Department show that for
girls between the ages o f 11 and 16, shoplifting is a m ajor offense.
Authorities cite as a possible cause, the fact that the availability o f mer
chandise in tremendously spacious stores has become a temptation for
cneermg youngsters. Aitnough one
tutor to each tutee is the ideal ra
tio, overcrowded conditions changed
the ratio to one tutor to three,
four, or more tutees. More tutors
are definitely needed, and anyone
interested should contact Nancy

IF THE A P P L E is not eaten, the girl may choose simply to see her

Apple-ducking also fostered an American practice, introduced in
colonial times. Again the practice concerns the determination of a
person’s future mate.
The apple that is won is pared in one large piece, and the peeling
is thrown over the person’s shoulder while these lines are recited:

The letter that the peeling most closely resembles after it is thrown is
said to be the initial letter of the person’s future mate.

says that when a maiden dies of a broken heart, her spirit comes back
as a white rabbit to haunt her deceiver. The white rabbit is an invisible
