JUNIOR CHARLES MAGES has

to attend Boys’ State in Springfield, Illinois this summer.
Boys’ State, which takes place
from June 19 to the 25, gives boys
a chance to organize city, county,

choose their own officials in ac

various city, county, and state of

their own bills in the legislature.
The highpoint of the week occurs
when the boys get to spend an af

We'd Rather Not Fight
Two Photo-Finishes in Class of '6 6
THE OLD ADAGE “Share and share alike” must
have had a profound effect on the four top ranking
seniors. Ken Schubert and Joe Gordon quite willing
ly share place number one, while Mike Alpem and
Mike Gerber share not only names but also rank
number three. Never before at Niles has there been
a double tie for the two highest places. Because
there are two ones, the next rank automatically be
comes number three.
Although the “race” is close, none of the boys
feels and rivarly. “After all,” explained Ken, “we’re
all good friends and we understand each other. We
are happy enough that we are where we are; no
one’s trying to beat anyone else out.” Mike Alpern,
who has kept up his grades despite being ill the
past two months, added that “flaunting grades is
ridiculous.”
ALL FOUR BOYS belieive that we live in a dogeat-dog world where competition — for the biggest
houses, the prettiest cars — rarely stops. None of
them wants to bring that unceasing rivalry to Niles.
The boys treat their A plus averages noncha
lantly. “Ranks and grades are important because
they give a college some indication of a student’s
ability,” admitted Mike Gerber, “but they can’t be
considered the ultimate criteria of a person.”
Joe added that all four had de
cided long ago that studying to
learn is much more important than
studying for grades. “We don’t
want to be bogged down by gradegrubbing in college,” Joe pointed
out.
Accepted under the early de
cision program, Joe will attend
Amherst College where he will take
a liberal arts program. Also un
decided about their fields, Ken, at
tending Oberlin, and Mike, study
ing at Yale, will enter liberal arts.
Only Mike Gerber knows exactly
what he wants to be — a doctor —
and will begin his training at Cornell University.
TO THOSE who won’t be attending college yet, these seniors un
animously urge, “Study hard. This
may sound awful at first but it’s
worth it.”
TIED
for third place are Seniors Mike Alpern and Mike Gerber.

“WE’VE NEVER been part of a
fairy tale before,” smiled Sue
Swartwout and Dick Shallcross,
Niles’ prom queen and king.
“I didn’t even know that we had
won,” explained Sue. “They pro
nounced my name wrong, so I
thought they meant someone else.
Only when they called Dick did I
understand what had happened.”
Although the night of prom was
quite ethereal, the weeks before,
spent planning for their “Good
Guys” theme, were real and often
hectic.
“We made a movie for our skit,
and the day we picked to film it
was awful. It was about 30 degrees,
and it kept raining,” said Sue. The
pair was surprised the film was
ever finished.
“Then the Friday of our rehear
sal we couldn’t get a piano and
felt sure we’d have to quit,” con
tinued Sue. “Fortunately, Mr.
Kent let us try out another day.”
SUE AND DICK agreed that these
incidents added to the excitement
of prom preparations. But the best
moment came when the king and
queen were about to be named.
“The kids formed an aisle, and
we had to walk down what seemed
milps before they announced the
winners,” remembered Dick. “As
we walked we really started get
ting nervous.”
“We’re still a little stunned. It’ll
take a few weeks to really under
stand what happened,” laughed
Dick and Sue.

Question of N ew Freedom
Besets College Students
“ ‘IN LOCO PARENTIS’ is an
outlandish abortion of the law” . . .
“Down witih campus curfews” . . .
“Students should possess the right
to entertain members of the other
sex in their dormitory rooms.”
Protests such as these have been
cropping up on banners, posters
and in colleges across the nation
as part of what contemporary soeulogists a n d journalists term
“The Sex-Revolution on College
Campuses.”
AS POTENTIAL college fresh
men, members of the Class of ’66
must naturally formulate their own
opinions on moral standards to fol
low. The question still remains,
however, is there in actuality a
‘moral revolution” underway at
colleges, or just a flurry of strong
protest and publicity? Several
graduating seniors express their
dews on this pressing topic.
“WHEN KIDS GET AWAY from
their parents,” said Mark Lazar,
“they take advantage of their newfound freedom. The same type of
thing undoubtedly happened on the
college campus of 30 years ago.”
Anita Wolff and Dave Jaet agree
that the so-called “revolution” is
merely a product of awareness.

today are more aware of morals
an^ immorality, and these are discussed openly. Thus it seems that
a revolution is going on, when in
truth, college students are just more
aware of morality today,” expres
sed Dave.
“THE AMERICAN PRESS has
recently placed great emphasis on
a ‘moral revolution,’ ” agrees Ani
ta. “People just talk about it more
than they have in the past.”
Terry Hirsch attributes the moral
revolution to a sense of anonymity.
“When a person feels that he is an
insignificant number out of 3,000
he is naturally going to rebel.”
Larry Miner believes “that ra:her than a revolution, the move

Sports fans, here’s the year-end Trojan athletic wrap up.
FALL
BRINGING HOME state honors for Easthi in the state log rolling
contest was Senior Ken Schubert. After a tough final match with Billy
Bumpkin of Midvale High, Ken said proudly, “I’m glad that Niles
East has such great school spirit. Without the student’s support, I nev
er would have had the desire to win.
However, our blackboard erasing team proved a tremendous dis
appointment this year. When Seniors Dan Nielsen and Larry Miner were
put out of action because of excessive dust inhalation, the Trojans fal
tered to a seventh place SL finish.
WINTER
THE REALLY BRIGHT SPOT in the ’65-’66 season was the show
ing of our ice cube crunching team. With only three of our seven mem
bers available for action during the league meet, the team completely
froze out the rest of their competition.
Unfortunatly, our mermen couldn’t get underway this year. For
feiting all of their home meets this year because a runaway octopus
decided to take up residence in the Trojan pool, the team sank (ha, ha)
to the bottom of the league.
Although the Trojan basketball team couldn’t quite get off the
ground this year, next year’s outlook is bright. Transferring to East
from Walden Pond High are 5 foot 3 inch guard Smedley Athlete who
can stuff backwards and 7 foot 4 inch center Ferguson Giunk who can’t
even stuff frontwards.
