^Project ’70 Walk for Development Marches On
This Sunday thousands of stu
dents and parents of all ages
Ire expected to participate in
the Project ’70 Walk for Devel
opment, a 30-mile hike, spon
sored by the American Freedom
From Hunger Foundation in
Washington, D.C. which was es
tablished by the late President
Kennedy.
THE FOUNDATION was or
ganized to co-operate with the
Freedom From Hunger Cam
paign led by the Food and Ag_ ricultural Organization of the
United States in 1961. It is dedi
cated to greater public under
standing and support for pro
grams to combat the causes of
t
hunger and to promote develop
ment, both within and outside
the borders of the U.S.
Forty Countries Participate
This year, preparations for
the walks are underway in at
least 40 countries in Europe,
the Americas, Africa, and Asia.
The North Suburban Walk will
be one of 400 walks planned in
the U.S. Through the affiliation
with the Hunger Foundation,
42.5 per cent of the money
raised will go to international
projects, 42.5 per cent to na
tional projects, and 15 per cent
to the Foundation. Some of the
domestic projects include Fifth
City Preschool, Respond Now,
and Cook County Office of Eco
nomic Opportunity Food Coop.
LAST MAY 3, 24,000 young
people and adults participated
in Project ’70’s North Suburban
Walk for Development. A total
of $279,000 was raised through
their walking efforts. The money
v/as distributed to these pro
jects: International Institute of
Rural Reconstruction, Meals for
Millions Foundation, American
Indian Foundation, American
Indian Center, Northwest Sub
urban Day Care Center, Marrillac House, and Direct Charge
Co-op.
To walk all one has to do is
complete the waiver form and
the sponsor sheet. The walker
should collect as many sponsors
as he can and mark the amount
per mile they offer him. If he is
under 21 he must have his par
ents’ or guardian’s permission.
Walkathon Begins at 8 p.m.
REGISTRATION FOR t h e
walk will begin at 6:30 p.m.,
Sunday, at Niles North, the
starting point. Opening cere
monies will start at 8 p.m. af
ter which the walkers will start.
Approximately every two miles
there will be a check point
where the walker will get his
check point card stamped, show
ing he has walked thus far. Med
ical supplies and aid will be
available at each check point
as well as limited quantities of
food and drink. If at any time
the walker cannot keep going,
he should be able to find a
car carrying a sign “tow truck”
which will take him back to
Niles North.
Everyone is encouraged to
participate either by walking,
manning check points, donating
food and medical supplies, or
by driving tired walkers to Niles
North. For further information
contact the Project ’70 office at
5248 Washington, Skokie, or call

Music Festival
Sings Melodies
The Niles East annual May
Music Festival will be pre
sented in two parts in the
auditorium on Friday, May 14
at 8 p.m. and on Sunday, May
16, at 3:30 p.m.
FRIDAY NIGHT the perform
ance will include selections
from the Intermediate Band,
String Ensemble, Freshmen
Girls’ Glee Club and Mixed
Chorus. The Concert Choir and
the Concert Band will provide
the entertainment on Sunday.
Until several years ago, the
festival was presented as one,
but because of the number of
participants, the stage became
quite crowded and because of
the lack of time, the festival
was split into two perform
ances. This gives each group
more of an opportunity to dis
play their musical talents.
THE HIGHLIGHT of the Sun
day show will be the appear
ance of Mayor Albert J. Smith
of Skokie, as a guest artist. He
will play an unusual instrument
along with the concert band.
Sing-alongs will constitute the
finale.
This year great lengths are
being taken to encourage the
incoming freshmen to come as
an introduction to the music
department. The concerts are
dedicated to them in hope that
they will join the fast-expand
ing music program, but it will
appeal to all ages.
TICKETS ARE on sale at $1
per person and are good for
one or both performances. They
are available through any mu

ßtudent Legislature Suffers From Student Apathy
What is happening to the
•student government?
TUESDAYS AND Fridays, 6B
in room 226, a group of about
twenty people meet which is
[known as Student Legislature.
[This is the student government
of Niles East.
| These students propose, disjcuss, and vote on legislation
[which is to benefit all students
> Niles East. They are also
f
ntive in sponsoring and par
ticipating in teach-ins as well
as financing clubs, activities,
■nd people in walk-a-thons. Yet,
purpose of this organization
3 to represent the entire stu
d e n t body. It is the feeling of
'»he legislature that twenty peo
ple can hardly represent a
cross section of the student
ody.
Student Council Abolished
TWO YEARS AGO the stu
dents of Niles East voted to
abolish student council and es
tablish a student legislature.
This meant that the student
government would be voluntary
and no qualifications were
needed for membership. At first
many students signed up, but
they did it to get out of study
halls or to have an extra long
lunch. Slowly the meetings de
creased in membership to about
twenty.
“The number of people will
ing to work all year and ac
complish the things needed just
aren’t enough,” explained Mr.
Karl DeJonge, sponsor. There
are many committees in the
community and in the school
which want student representa
tives but there aren’t enough
students to go around.
RIGHT NOW THE legislature
is trying to understand the
problem of lack of participation.
They realize that schedules in
terfere, but this problem has
been dealt with by having in
terested students sign up for it
on their schedules. Other rea
sons for lack of participation
are apathy toward student gov
ernment, satisfaction with the
way the school is operated,
open campus, other activities,
and selfishness. Ironically, last
year the legislature was most
influential in getting open cam
pus. They are now trying to
discuss and hear ideas about
restructuring the student gov
ernment, but there was very
little participation in the re
structuring sessions the legis
lature held on April 30.
Students Appear Selfish
Another big problem is the
specificity of students. Once in
a while they’ll come to a meet
ing with a problem they’re con
cerned with, themselves or their
friends. They’ll come for a
while and if they don’t get what
they want, they get discouraged
and quit. The legislature feels
there should be less selfishness
and more concern for the
school. “It takes time . . . be
cause of divergent views,” Mr.
DeJonge added.
One big complaint of the stu
dents is that the legislature
doesn’t get anything done. This
is answered by the organiza
tion’s appeal for people to come
and support their proposals.
The legislature is the official
voice of the students to the ad
ministration.
Officers of student legislature
are Bob Gillio, ’72, president;
Barbara Blonde, ’72, secretary;
Cheryl Heidelberger, ’72, treas
urer. They encourage anyone
with ideas or comments to at
tend their meetings.
“I found it very astounding
that in a school where there
is a relatively decent amount
of freedom for the student to
voice his opinion, this freedom
is not fully used. This is re
flected in one way by the lack
of interest shown in student
government.” This is how
Cheryl Heidelberger summed
up the problem.

Why Not Abolish Final Exams?
Recently, an inquiry was sent to students,
parents, and Niles East Faculty concerning Final
Examinations. The five choices to be considered
included retaining the present final examination
system (i.e. all students in every academic class
must take examinations except graduating stu
dents; these examinations count one-quarter of
the semester grade.), optional examinations at
the discretion of teacher or department, optional
examinations with an agreement made between
the teachers and students, mandatory examina
tions, but the examination grade could only im
prove the grade. (If the examination grade were
lower than the average of the three marking
periods, the examination grade would not be con
sidered), and mandatory examinations counting
less than one-quarter of the semester grade at
the discretion of the individual teacher.
The Nilehilite agrees with Mr. Jim Richter,
assistant principal, and the Final Examination
Committee that the final examination system does
need a thorough review and revision, but none
of the alternatives should replace the present
inadequate system.
FINAL EXAMS GIVEN at Niles East serve
little constructive purpose. If a student is tested
on material during a six-week grading period,
why is it necessary to be retested on the same
material months later? A final examination
should be a summation test of material learned
in an 18-week time span. Does this mean a stu
dent should rememorize 100 vocabulary words to
be tested on 50 of them, and the result is onequarter of one’s grade? If nights before the
exams, students must relearn history dates and
authors of short stories instead of the significance
of an historical date as possibly related to today’s
current events or just exactly what point the
author was trying to convey to the reader in
writing the essay, then the test and education we
are receiving is a farce.
Most teachers prefer giving objective tests for
finals because of the alloted time given for grad
ing them and submitting semester grades. As a
result of the short time span, students receive
meaningless matching, true-false, and fill-in-theblank tests instead of a test with some signifi
cance. Memorizing words, dates, and authors to
regurgitate them on a piece of paper does not
demonstrate one’s knowledge of the subject mat
ter. It does demonstrate the amount of regurgi
tation ability one might possess, but the Nilehilite
does not believe that is the purpose of a final
examination.
UNDER THE PRESENT system all teachers
give final (with the exception of physical educa
tion and some music courses) exams, and all
students (except graduating students) must take
the exams. What sense does it make for the
student with 3 A’s, 3 B’s, or 3 C’s to take the
exam? No matter what letter grade he receives,
his final grade will not change, but the school
states that everyone must take the exams so
that closes the student’s reasoning for not wanting
to take the final exam.
The requirement stating the student’s exami
nation grade counts one-quarter of his semester
grade is illogical. A student has six weeks in
which he provides an evaluation of his work,
attitudes, and progress. A student has one test
grade that is weighted equally with three six-week
grades in the determination of his final grade.
How can six weeks of work and 90 minutes of
testing provide the same one-quarter grade eval
uation? Suppose a student during the six weeks
grading period receives a low test grade; he will
have several more tests during that time to score
higher grades and counterbalance his test scores.
On the other hand, if the student does poorly on
the final examination, what room is left for im
provement? Surely most people will agree there
are more reasons for doing poor work whatever
the situation maybe whether it be tests, home
work, or class participation, than merely not
studying or neglecting to do the work. For exam
ple, a student may have personal problems or
something troubling him that may interfere with
school work. We all, at times, have things arise
in our lives that take precedent over daily rou
tines and obligations (students too!) If something
is bothering a student while taking the final
examinations, his concentration abilities may be
limited and the resulting grade counting as onequarter credit may seriously damage his semes
ter average. If a student has difficulty in mem
orization and cannot remember 100 vocabulary
words (can you?), does this mean he has not
grasped the material taught and deserves a poor
grade? Maybe his report card should read Mem
orization “F ” instead of English or Foreign
Language “F .” Wouldn’t the better test be read
ing a story containing the words and then per
haps the meaning of vocabulary words could be
derived from the help of sentences or total con
tent rather than giving the student 50 words to
define?
NONE OF THE five proposals offered con
cerning Final Examinations will solve the prob
lems and inadequacies of final exams and for
that reason none of the proposals suggested by
Mr. Richter and the Final Examinations Com
mittee can be recommended as a revision for
Niles East’s policy on final examinations. The
only sensible recommendation that could be given
honestly to solve all the problems of final exams
would be to abolish them completely, and this
is the sixth proposal the Nilehilite suggests Niles
East adopts.
Student Teacher Compares Education
The scene was a University
of Moscow classroom, 1959. A
discussion centering around the
superiority of Soviet culture was
in progress.
“Men of the Soviet Union are
the greatest men in the world,”
declared one student.
“Bull—,” replied another.
The second student was im
mediately expelled from the uni
versity and sent to a labor camp
for three years. He will be un
able to receive further educa
tion.
Witness to the above incident
was Stanislav Vladslavovich
Dyczkowski, presently a student
teacher of Russian at Niles East.
Stanley, as his American friends
call him, was born in Germany,
but studied as an exchange stu
dent in the USSR. He received
a BA in Russian language and
literature from the University of
Leningrad in 1959, and earned
his MA from the University of
Moscow.
Mr. Dyczkowski, who speaks
fluent Russian, English, and
German, was an assistant pro
fessor at the University of Bres
lau, Poland, and an exchange
professor at the University of
California, Berkeley, has lec
tured at the University of Frank
fort, Germany, and taught at the
famous Berlitz School of Lan
guages.
Stanley, presently a doctoral
candidate at the University of
Illinois, Champaign, is student
teaching at Niles in order to ful
fill the Illinois teacher require
ment.
“The incident at the Universi-
by Robert Rand
ty of Moscow is an example of
a new generation in the
Soviet Union,” said Mr. Dycz
kowski. “The new Soviet stu
dent doesn’t much care for
communism. He wants to travel
and learn, but he can’t.”
Stanley feels that such inci
dents will never happen in
America.
“The American society is the
best,” he declared. “There are
more freedoms and rights than
any other country in the world.”
Stanley noticed a contrast to
the lack of Soviet rights, spe
cifically to free press. He re
called how no Soviet newspap
er carried the Russian invasion
of Czechoslovakia, and how only
“bad” American news is print
ed.
The strictness of Soviet life
does have one merit, and'M r.
Dyczkowski believes this is edu
cation.
“In the USSR, and even the
rest of Europe, education is the
way to higher society, and thus
a better living. European high
school students cannot enter the
university unless they pass an
examination.
“High school itself is taken
very seriously. Rigid require
ments, such as four years of
math and the study of two for
eign languages, provide t h e
knowledge necessary to make
society better.”
Stanley maintains that Ameri
can students take a lackadaisical
view of education. Too much
emphasis on sports, television,
and talking on the telephone all
“take away from studying.”
“In general,” Stanley con
cluded, “American s t u d e n t s
don’t care about education.
They show no interest.”
Stanley’s five year’s experi
ence with American s c h o o l s
have left him bewildered. He
was shocked, for example, to
find out that American truck
drivers earn more money than
some teachers.
“I don’t understand. Is it that
education has not much value?
In Europe education is good. On
ly the educated get big positions.
But here it is not too import
ant.”
Stanley feels that a revised
program for becoming a teach
er could help cure the school
ing problem. He maintains that
right now, some people become
teachers either to stay out of
the army, or for “the security
the job offers.”
“In order to be a good teach
er . . . a great teacher,” added
Stanislav Vladislavovich, “one
must love knowledge.”

Plague Strikes East

M(
Once again the plague has hit Niles East High School. Oh no—
not the Bubonic Plague, nothing quite so deadly, at least not in the
physical sense of the word. The plague better known as “Senior
Slump” is as easy to catch as the common cold, but won’t dis
appear with Bayer Aspirin, plenty of juices, and rest in bed.

The symptoms include cutting classes, not doing assignments
or turning them in late, and having to concentrate harder on not
falling asleep during classes than what is actually being said in the
class.

The "Senior Disease" cannot be caught by door knobs, towels,
or toilet seats (as “old wives tales” would have us believe), but
nevertheless spreads faster than any known ailment to man. None
escapes the disease, but the severity of each case differs. “Senior
Slump” may last anywhere from one to nine months, but most
often occurs after one is accepted to a college or university. The
disease for most seniors will worsen as Graduation Day draws
closer. There is one recorded case of “Senior Slump” in the Junior
class, but after much deliberation, I decided the junior case should
be separate and left as . . . to be continued.

The only cure for the senior slump is either good posture

Middle Kids - Unite!
by Jef Block
On Valentine’s Day, 1953, Sam
uel and Judith Block became
the proud parents of their first
child, Hal Gary. And thus was
the start of my problems.
I, Jeffrey Stephen, came elev
en months later, and Michelle
Renee and Alan Frederick
showed up in the years follow
ing. So, other than winning
second place in a baby beauti
ful contest at nine months, and
spending time in the hospital for
arthritis at three years, my life
was quite uneventful and nor
mal.
OR SO I THOUGHT, until
last year when I started to see
the light. Little things that I
hadn’t noticed before became
clearer, such as at mealtime I
was always the last to be
served. Or riding in the car, I
always had to sit in the middle
space of the back seat on the
hump, never near the window.
In ice cream parlors, everyone
else got Sundaes when a vanilla
cone was ordered for me. My
clothes were always hand-me
downs from my brother Hal or
my cousin Randy, and I always
received the smaller half of the
egg roll.
Little things that are unim
portant to most people. But to
a select few of us, these things
are big. Really big. In short,
I’m paranoid. But I’m paranoid
for a very special reason. I
have the Middle-Child Syndrome.
HOW, YOU MAY ASK, can I
possibly be the middle child
when I spoke of four children:
Hal, myself, Michelle, and Fred
dy. Well, let me break it down
for you. Hal is the oldest, my
parents first born, so naturally
he receives the most respect.
Freddy is the youngest, the
“baby” of the family, so he gets
special care. Michelle is the on
ly girl in the family, need I
say more about her? So where
does that leave me? I’ll tell
you: Middle-Child Syndrome.
Of course, my parents knew
that each child is an individual
and treated us as such. For ex
ample, they recognized a natur
al sense of timing and rhythm
in me, so I was enrolled in
dancing school, and Hal, Mich
elle and Freddy never were.
They were never able to enjoy
the thrill of practicing every
day after school and on Satur
days. Instead all they could ever
do was play ball, or go to a
friend’s house, and during the
winter play in the snow.
And, I was the first one to
go to an over-night camp. That
was the summer my dad de-
cided to teach us how to ride
a two-wheeler bike. But alas,
I wasn’t around to learn. So
far, I have been speaking of the
mental aspect of M-C-S. There
is also a physical aspect. Hal,
Michelle, and Freddie all have
the slim build characteristic of
my mother’s side of the family.
For some reason I am the only
one who has a weight problem—
(too much of it) characteristic
of my father’s side of the fam
ilyThus far I have only skimmed
the surface of M-C-S, but I ’m
afraid anymore might be a lit
tle bit technical for the aver
age layman.
And so, I do declare—“Yes,
I’m a middle child, and I, like
all others like me, have just
about had it.” Now is the time
to fight back. We must rise
above our paranoia and show
our oppressors that we won’t be
shackled by our birthright of
mediocrity. We must show the
world that we mean business.
So for that reason I do hereby
declare July 4 and all July 4ths
to follow, International Middle
Child Day.
All middle children must spend
the day in peaceful meditation
and overly sincere self-pity. In
addition, we and our sympathiz
ers must wear a wilted flower
in the lapel of our hand-me-down
sports coats.
And if we really are sincere
in our beliefs, maybe the wrongs
perpetrated against us will be
righted, and we will no longer
be “ middle-class” citizens. But,
until that day arrives, I think
I shall remain that which I
have always been. PARANOID.

Track Team
Jumps High
A Sporting Look
His Cup Runneth Over
By Norwin Merens
Commissioner of Major League
Baseball
Dear Mr. Kuhn,
“After twelve years in the
major leagues, I do not feel that
I am a piece of property to be
bought and sold irrespective of
my wishes. I believe that any
system which produces that re
sult violates my basic rights as a
citizen and is inconsistent with
the laws of the United States.
“It is my desire to play base
ball in 1970, and I am capable of
playing. I have received a con
tract offer from the Philadel
phia club, but I believe I have
the right to consider offers from
other clubs before making any
decisions. I, therefore request
that you make known to all Ma
jor League franchises my feel
ings in this matter, and advise
them of my availability for the
1970 season.”
THUS WERE the beliefs of
Curt Flood, former star with the
St. Louis Cardinals, who became
quite controversial when after
being traded from the Cards (on
October 8, 1969) to Philadelphia,
quit baseball and challenged the
legality of baseball’s reserve
clause. (In a case which eventu
ally landed in the S u p r e m e
Court). Recently, Flood with a
court decision still pending and
a year’s absence from baseball
signed a lucrative contract with
the Washington Senators. In the
transaction, Washington agreed
to give Philadelphia players
supplementing Flood. For the
Senators, it was a clear cut gam
ble — Curt Flood could return
and continue bis star status, or
fluctuate in the other direction.
Unfortunately, he suffered the
latter decision. Attempting, to
perform as he did with St. Louis
or even to a small degree less
was expecting too much. This
time the trial was held in centerfield — with Flood’s year of ab
sence being the verdict. Curt de
cided that his playing left some
thing to be desired and pro
ceeded to leave the nation’s cap
ital and baseball — this time
for good. Leaving the United
States for Spain, (which is now
suffering from consistent rains)
has many believing the real
“Flood” has arrived.
THE QUESTION as to whether
the Negroes’ status in the Unit
ed States has dramatically
changed since the slave persecu
tion in the South seems to be an
important point (in the Flood
Case). People fail to remember
Curt Flood’s contributions for St.
Louis have in one way or an
other enhanced the city with two
world’s championships and a
single league title over the past
seven years.

Future Lies In Frosh
“The future of this country
lies in the ambitions and skills of
our youth.” This famous state
ment may mean several things.
For the Niles East Freshman
Baseball Team it is a motto,
which in coming years will mean
success. Coached by Mr. Bernie
Greene the squad is presently
leading the Suburban League
with a very impressive 6-2 rec
ord.
OUTSTANDING performances
have been turned in by several
individuals: Ron Kleinschmidt
has hurled superbly throughout
the entire Frosh campaign. With
several wins behind his belt and
a .476 batting average, the com
ing years should certainly be
bright. Outstanding h i t t i n g
marks have also been achieved:
Catcher Rich Rubin, .292 aver
age— 1 HR—7 RBI’s—8 Runs—
8 Stolen Bases; First Baseman
Len Weinstein, .667 average—
HR—3 Triples—6 RBI’s—9 Runs;
Left Fielder Corey Levens, .285
average—1 Triple—8 RBI’s—9
Runs; Third Baseman Kurt Kiesel, .500 average—1 Triple—5
RBI’s: Shortstop Mark Zolt, .375
average—1 Triple; Second Baseman Scott Harrison, .375 aver
age.

The Trojan track team is
looking toward the Suburban
League and State Meets with
optimism. A number of good
performances were turned in
during the past few weeks, with
Bob Tepp, Jerry Look, Mike
Bielinski, and Bob Henry per
forming particularly well on the
varsity level.
THE FRESHMEN AND soph
omores also have been standing
out. At the Lake Shore M eet!
held April 17 at Arlington High
School, Dave Gronski placed
second in the 120 yard high
hurdles with a time of 15.6
seconds, and fourth in the 180
yard low hurdles. Steve Gold
berg also placed fifth in the 120
yard high hurdles. At Morton
West on April 28, Steve Sussman placed second in the twomile run, Gus Nastos was
second in the 100 yard dash,
and Tom Kropf was second in
the 880 yard run.
The freshmen placed fifth in A
the Freshman Suburban League
Meet, scoring 16 points, an alltime high, while placing in four
events. Steve Goldberg is the
Suburban League champion in
the 120 yard high hurdles, while
Ross Pollack also finished first
in the shot put with a toss of 40
feet. Stu Figa was fourth in the
discus, and the mile relay team
also placed fourth. Coach Jerry
Ferguson and his men should be
congratulated on a fine effort. I

Tearn Effort Sleds Oak
By Norwin Merens
The Niles East Varsity Golf
team charged to an early season
victory, when in their first meet
they whipped the Proviso East
Pirates 185-193. The meet was
played amidst high winds and
cloudy weather, which caused
the scores to go relatively high.
Participating in the golf pre
miere were Seniors Jim Kuester, Blair Epstein, and Warren
Elliot, Junior Bob Stone, and
Freshmen Andy Ruttenberg and
Larry Lichtenstein. The FroshSoph squad coached by Mr.
Wayne Lueck won 200-202. Rela
tively low scores for this con
tingent were made by Bruce
Chancellor (with a 47), Mike
Robins, Ron Rubin, and Chuck
Burgess.
“THIS YEAR’S varsity team
should give everyone in the
league a run for the money. We
have high hopes for both
team s,” commented Mr. Lueck.
After suffering some rough
going against Suburban League
competitors, New Trier and
Morton East recently, the Tro
jans perhaps placed their goals
for the ’71 campaign into proper
perspective when they rode the
Huskies of Oak Park to a re
sounding 10-2 defeat last Friday.
The contest featured every as
pect of well-played ball. Stand
out pitching was hurled by Doug
Dasse and Chuck Wolf. The men
of Troy also revealed for the
first time this season that they
can hit with power. (Pounding
out 15 hits). The offense was
ignited in the second inning
when Doug Dasse singled, stole
second, was forced out at third
(a fielder’s choice for Rick
eleven), Chuck Wolf singled
scoring eleven while on an error
Wolf went to second. This
brought up third baseman Mike
Saltarelli who dribbled a single
past the Oak Park pitcher
scoring Wolf. In the Trojan
third, Butch Meyers stoked a
home run to straight away cen
ter. Dasse, eleven, Wolf, and
Bruce Frank responded with a
string of singles. The result:
three runs on five hits. The
fifth saw the starting nine bat
around and bring home five in
surance runs. A double by Stu
Karge was hit with a great de
gree of power.
FOR OAK PARK nothing
seemed to go right — limited
three hits, the team made many
costly errors and exhibited a
shaky brand of pitching. Even
the final play seemed to run
against the Huskies and their
coach. In the last half of the
Trojan sixth, Rick eleven
singled, Chuck Wolf grounded
into what ordinarily would have
been a double play; however,
a wild relay throw enabled Wolf
to take second. When Bruce
Frank struck out, the Oak Park
catcher lost the ball (it wound
up rolling to the backstop) thus
enabling Frank to take first.
Ultimately he stole second, and
the Oak Park second baseman'
began hitting him with the ball.
A riot virtually erupted on the
Oakton Park diamond. This inci
dent ended the game for all
concerned.
THE RUTHLESS behavior ex
ecuted throughout the entire
game by the Oak Park bench
was unnecessary. Their un
sportsman like conduct left
something to be desired. Only a
week previously did the Trojans
lose a doubleheader against New
Trier East by scores of 6-0 and
8-1, yet, they did not go out
fighting with the opposition
when the realization of losing
became reality. The Trojans
were pitted perhaps against the
toughest team in the Suburban
League. The fine pitching of
Richard Olsen and Bob Roth
baffled Troy through the entire
afternoon.
