P roject Sage raises self-concept
Project SAGE is a relatively new
name to District 219, and many par
ents and students are unaware of its
purpose.
The theory behind SAGE (Strength
ening Academic Growth Effectively)
is that one’s self-concept is related to
his academic achievement. Students
with a higher self-concept will feel
better about themselves, and will do
better.
“PROJECT SAGE HELPS students
deal more constructively with every
day problems. It also helps the stu
dents feel better about themselves,
and explore the values of education,”
explained Mr. Fred Krai, Social
Worker and co-ordinator of SAGE at
East.
Each student in the program will
belong to one of the eight or nine
groups, consisting of 10 students,
meeting weekly under the direction of
a trained student leader. These meet
ings will be geared toward positive
growth oriented experiences, achieved
by exercise in values clarification,
decision making, listening, communi
cation, and human potential.
aAll student leaders and faculty mem
bers involved in the project were
trained in the same co-district pro-
gram during the first semester.
THE FACULTY MEMBERS in the
program include William Weiss, Spe
cial Education; Richard Miya, So
cial Studies; Mrs. Barbara Theobold,
Reading Specialist; Ken Anderson,
Counselor; Jeff Erickson, Social Work
er; Ms. Peggy Williams, Social Work
er; and Mrs. Dorothy Taylor, Nurse.
Each will be group consultor to two
student leaders.
January is recruiting month for
SAGE. Interested students must fill
out an application, available in Room
108. An interview may then be ar
ranged with Krai.

Alcoholic addiction: disease of mind, body
An alcoholic drinks and craves alcohol
to the point that it interferes with some
or all aspects of life.
The American Medical Association,
Worid Health Organization, and other
professional groups regard alcoholism as
a physical and mental disease. It also is
influenced by sociologic, psycho-physiologic, and cultural factors, and may be
aggravated by pressure from work,
stress, or other people.
ALCOHOL MAY CAUSE positive atti
tudes which are usually followed by neg
ative consequences. It is an addicting
drug because it changes the body phys
ically, until the alcoholic constantly needs
liquor.
Mentally, alcohol can affect work,
Bodie describes symptoms
Alcoholic relates drinking dangers
“Teenage drinking is on the rise,” said
Mr. A1 Bodie of the Chicago Metropolitan
Council on Alcoholism. With drinking on
the incline, the number of alcoholics also
is increasing.
More than nine million alcoholics pres
ently exist in America. One out of every
10 people suffer from alcoholism, while
86,000 die from it every year. According
to Bodie, teens drink for a number of
reasons: as a rebellion against their par
ents, because of pressure from their
friends, and to forget about their prob
lems.
BODIE FEELS A drinker is considered
an alcoholic when the drinking of al
cohol causes him physical and emotional
problems. An alcoholic often finds that
he can not remember what happened
while he was drinking. Sometimes they
have periods of amnesia even when they
are not drinking. Alcoholics often lose
interest in other activities, and become
preoccupied with the thought of alcohol.
Alcohol not only affects people mental
ly, but also physically. To the chronic
drinker, alcohol can cause many organic
diseases such as an irritated liver tissue
that can lead to cirrhosis. Alcohol de
stroys brain cells that can never be
replaced. Destroyed brain cells can cause
mental illnesses.
Bodie is presently a counselor in al
coholism, but also is a former alcoholic
(he no longer drinks, but like all other
non-practicing alcoholics will always be
considered an alcoholic). He first started
drinking periodically with his friends
when he was 14 years old. Not until the
age of 16, did alcohol really start mean
ing something to him.
“I THINK I DRANK just to feel com
fortable. I did not feel comfortable with
life the way it was, and I wanted some
thing else. When I found alcohol, that was
the answer,” he explained.
By the time he was 17 Bodie was
drinking more than he could handle. He
had his first blackout then (a blackout
is the first symptom of alcoholism).
Bodie feels that he was alcoholic long
before he started to drink. His behavior,
personality, and problems were the type
,
that indicated that he was a potential
alcoholic.
“I think it might be hereditary, maybe
something in the blood,” said Bodie.
When he was 25, he went to Alcoholics
Anonymous (A.A.). They heloed him
realize it was a disease, and soon be
began to understand his situation better.
Not only did A.A. help him to overcome
his problems, but it eventually changed
his whole lifestyle.
“WHEN I LOOK BACK at it, I realize
it was hell. Some of the things I did
I feel bad about, like some of the people
I hurt. Now I have lived through it,
and hopefully I can help someone else,”
said Bodie.
With heroin, opiates, and other drugs,
very few people die from withdrawal.
However, with alcohol, 10 per cent of
the people in withdrawal die.
Easy accessibility of alcohol has been
the cause of alcoholism for many peo
ple. Bodie warns that from constant use
of alcohol, a drinker can become an
alcoholic. He also added that if people
want to drink, they should do it re
sponsibly. He considers one drink an
hour the limit.
MANY PLACES ARE available for al
coholism counseling. One of them is the
Chicago Metropolitan Council on alcohol
ism at 6 north Michigan Avenue in Chi
cago (726-1368). The council handles
clients of all ages. Many people are
referred to them, but they will not accept
any forced cases.
The first step in counseling is to eval
uate the person. They determine whether
or not the person is an alcoholic. After
the evaluation, the counselor gets the
patient to realize he is an alcoholic. This
alone may take three or four sessions.
Finally the counselor refers the person
to Alcoholics Anonymous.
A.A. is based on a group principle that
consits of a long term recovery program.
Alcoholics Anonymous’ main office is at
205 W. Wacker in Chicago (346-1475).
No method is available to really stop
alcoholism, except educating people
about it, and hoping that they realize
just how dangerous excessive drinking
can be.
Streisand Redford voted first
hy majority of Easthi students
Barbara Streisand and Robert Redford
received the majority of votes for favor
ite actress and actor, in the recent poll
about the entertainment media taken at
Niles East.
Continuing in the favorite actor cate
gory after Redford was Then Came Bron
son (Charles), shifting into third was
Henry Winkler, “The Fonz,” and A1
Pacino “banked in” at the number four
spot.
RICHARD NIXON AND Galen Hosier
tied for their supporting roles as fearless
leaders, while honorable mentions were
given to Ray Rayner, Fred Flintstone,
Bozo, Barry Williams and Christopher
Knight, formerly of the Brady Bunch.
Behind Barbra in the actress compe
tition was a “shapley” tie between
Raquel Welch and Valerie Harper, while
Carol Burnett “eared” into fourth place.
Linda Lovelace, Olive Oil, Lassie, Wil
ma Flintstone, and Maureen McCormick
(another Brady Buncher), all qualified
for the honorable mention list.
The title of favorite male singing star
was shared by super star Elton John,
and newcomer Barry Manilow. ExBeatle, Paul McCartney, “Let it Be” in
third, and “Cat(ch) Bull at Four” (Cat
Stevens), while John Denver took his
“ Rocky Mountain High” in fifth.
“FUNNY LADY” STREISAND placed
another first in the favorite singer cate
gory, Olivia Newton-John “honestly
loved” second place, and Joni Mitchel
mellowed into third. Chicago and The
Beach Boys were voted the most popular
groups.
Singing star mentionables: The Cowsills, David Cassidy, Conway Twitty,
Donny Osmond, and Lawrence Welk.
“HAPPY DAYS ARE here again . . .
Happy Days” placed first for favorite
television show. “Oh. .Oh. .Oh” Wel
come Back Kotter took second and
“Husky and Starch,” or is that Starsky
and Hutch got a “Bear Huggy” for
placing third, while Monty Python’s Fly

Honorable mentions were awarded to
Switch and S.W.A.T., homeroom, Jubilee
Showcase, Little Rascals, Polka Party,
and All My Children.
“Hey, Hey, Hey,” It’s “The Fonz” in
first place for favorite television star,
with Robert Blake in second, and Here-e-e-s-s Johnny placing third.
Valerie Harper, Carol Burnett, and
Mary Tyler Moore placed first, second,
and third, respectively, for female tele
vision stars.
HONORABLE MENTIONS go to Fahey
Flynn, Bullwinkle, the retired NBC Pea
cock, and the should-be retired Howard
Cosell.
Special added favorites included Rich
Little, David Brenner, Don Rickies,
George Carlin, Fred Astaire, and Gene
Kelly.
friendships, and family responsibilities.
It can sometimes cause a memory loss,
due to excessive use, blackouts, sleep dis
turbances, and a loss of common sense.
Physically, alcohol takes control over
an alcoholic’s body. It can cause liver
cirrhosis; because the liver is most af
fected, nervousness, blood loss, and
permanent damage can occur to the
heart muscles and brain.
One third of all alcoholics will recover
if they are treated properly. The key to
recovery is to gain control over the
problem. The alcoholic first must realize
and admit that he is addicted to alcohol.
ONE TREATMENT PROGRAM is
based on a high protein, vitamins-supplemented diet. Alcoholics may have too
few fluids, or too many. They must be
advised to consume the proper amount
of liquids.
An alcoholic can also be cured gradu
ally by diminishing his intake of alcohol.
An educational, diagnostic, and treat
ment program will accomplish the in
forming, diagnosing, and then proper
treatment of the patient. The alcoholic’s
environment is also very important. The
teenager must be treated as an adult,
and be around people who care about his
health.
In a survey of 100 Easthi students, 82
per cent drink occasionally with the
family. This includes beer, wine, or
mixed alcoholic beverages. 64 per cent
claim to drink at least once a week.
Although students may consume one or
two drinks of liquor, it doesn’t mean that
person necessarily will become an alco
holic.
The National Parent-Teacher Associa
tion claims that of 75 per cent of high
school students who drink, half of them
will have serious alcohol problems. Most
high school students will taste and use
alcoholic drinks before they graduate.
According to a National Institute of
Medical Health (NIMH) sponsored sur
vey, 15 per cent of adults and teenagers
are infrequent drinkers. These people
drink less than once a month. 32 per cent
are abstainers who drink less than once
a year. 40 per cent of adults and teen
agers who drink at least once a month,
are considered moderate or light drink
ers. 13 per cent are heavy drinkers, who
drink nearly every day.
PSYCHIATRISTS CAN ALSO help the
patient in individual or group therapy
sessions. The alcoholic must develop
greater awareness and learn to express
his feelings.
Many teenage problem drinkers are
gaining help through Alcoholics Anony
mous. 10 per cent of the people in A.A.
are under 21.
Lutheran General Hospital, located in
Park Ridge, helps teenagers and adults.
Patients must be treated by a doctor
who is a member of the hospital staff.

Principal displays optimism
Hosier reviews first year
One year ago when I became principal of Niles East, I extended this wish to
the student body: that each of you would recognize and use to the fullest extent
the resources of our school, to achieve the very best education possible; that you
would recognize the talents and use the training of our teaching staff as they
worked to guide your understanding and learning; and that 1975 would be a year
of success and achievement for you.
AS WE ENTER YET another year, I would like to renew that wish and
extend my congratulations to each of you for the progress we have made as a
school. With renewed spirit, despite our scheduled closing in 1980; with positive
student leadership in our school government; with greater confidence and
success in our athletic program; with continued academic success in the class
room; and with the growing recognition that hard work, discipline, respect for
each other shown in halls and classrooms are the qualities of our achievement,
the year 1976 will be even better.

Scholarships ignored
Many students are not taking advant
age of the various scholarships offered
for many different careers and colleges.
SCHOLARSHIP BULLETINS are print
ed frequently to inform the student body
about the most recent grants available,
but most students pay little attention.
With the cost of living and inflation
on the uprise, it is about time students
became more ambitious.
ANY STUDENT IN SEARCH for a
scholarship suiting his needs and talents,
may find copies of scholarship bulletins
in the guidance office or homeroom.

Independent
Study a t A LC
By Sue Feldman
Students may achieve equally
high standards of education
through many different ap
proaches. Traditional school and
ALC are only two of several
equal paths to the same goal.
ALC, which is open to all Niles
Township High School students,
runs a program parallel to reg
ular school, including the same
graduation requirements.
THE
DIFFERENCE
BE
TWEEN ALC and regular school
is the way of learning. At ALC
students become accustomed
to independent study and ex
perimental, “learning by doing.”
ALC is for students who want
to learn, but feel they are not
progressing enough through the
text book and lecture approach
of regular school.
ALC students, who work with
and are treated as adults, are
of average intelligence, motiva
tion, and behavior. Because
these students work primarily
on their own in the community,
they are expected to be above
average in responsibility and
maturity, and have a high de
gree of self discipline.
ALC IS NOT a “ cop out” for
students who can not adjust to
regular school. ALC students
were not assigned to ALC, but
applied for admission with their
parents’ consent.
Students are admiited by ap
plication under the first come,
first serve basis; no one is ever
rejected. Students interested in
the ALC are encouraged to ob
serve and discuss the school
with the faculty and students.

The 1975 song that brought
much controversy to the teen
age sex scene, was David Geddes number one single, “Run
Joey Run.” This melodramatic
story told of the dangers of ex
perimenting with premarital
sex.
THE STORY REVOLVES
around Julie and Joey, the two
experimentees. Julie’s life was
tragic from the start. Her moth
er ran away with a band of gyp
sies when Julie was only three.
Her father worked at two jobs
trying to support Julie and her
two older brothers Terry and
Lee.
On the other hand, Joey had
everything going for him; the
only child of a wealthy family,
girls breaking his door down,
quarterback of the football
team, captain of the basketball
team, star pitcher of the base
ball team, spokesman for the
debate team, editor of the year
book, valedictorian, and Presi
dent of his senior class. Joey
spent his free time playing ten
nis and swimming in his back
yard.
ONE SATURDAY afternoon
Joey was interrupted when the
telpehone rang while he was

Memoirs of Randy Kessler ’75
Too small and sickly to play
in any strenuous school sport
you showed more courage than
the toughest of any athletes. In
a world of luxury with its petty
complaints you never complain
ed for the most justifiable of
reasons — a lifetime of pain
and misunderstanding. On De
cember 18, 1975, you left us. As
your father said, “He finally
wore o u t... there’s only so much
the human body can take.”
IN YOUR NINETEEN years
of life you had five heart oper
ations. The first was when you
were just two and a half years
old. There were other medical
problems also. A weak heart
meant impaired growth.
You wanted to be just like your
two brothers, successful and
tall. It was refreshing to sit and
hear you talk with pride about
your parents and family.
Throughout your elementary
and high school life, your size
and the deafness in your left
ear led to misunderstandings
with students and teachers. Yet
you were a good student and
an active participant in school
affairs. Many potential employ
ers also thought that you were
too young and sickly to work
for them. Through the help of
Jim Schindler and Lloyd Norton
you showed you could achieve
when employed.
There is so much that could
be said about you, Randy
Kessler.
You’ll be remembered for
your cheerfulness, conscien
tiousness, and great courage.
Thank you for all that you
taught us.

Joey (outraged): Your what?
Julie (casually): Oh, didn’t
I tell you? It must have slipped
my mind.
Joey (upset): But, I thought
I was the only one.
Julie (worried): You were
until Mark, or was it Scott? It
could have been Steve...
Joey (upset): But Julie, I
thought you gave up that pro
fession. I told you I have all
the money we’ll ever need.
Julie (anxiously): Oh Joey, I
love you so.
Joey (passionately): I love
you too Julie, that’s why I want
to be near you.
Julie (nervously): But you
can’t come here, my fathers got
a gun so “Run Joey, Run Joey,
Run...”
Joey (nervously): I ’ll be right
over.
Julie (hurryingly): See you
soon.
Julie waited hysterically by
her window for Joey to arrive.
As Julie heard the sound of
screeching breaks in her drive-
S tu d e n ts e n jo y
h o m e r o o m tim e
way, she ran out to meet him.
Joey noticed the bruises on her
face as she approached him,
but before they could embrace,
Julie’s father came into sight.
Daddy (hostile): Julie, move
away from that boy! I ’m going
to put an end to this once and
for all.
Julie (persuadingly): “Daddy
please don’t, it wasn’t his fault,
he means so much to me. Daddy
please don’t, we’re going to be
married. And besides that, he’s
not the father.”
Daddy (furious): Why you
lousy rotten tramp.
A LOUD SHOT BURST
through the air as Julie hit the
ground. Joey ran to her side
and held her closely, and here’s
the last words Julie said. “Joey,
try not to mourn excessively,
try to put me in the past, but
never forget me. You could live
without me Joey, I know you
can.”
Joey (sincerely): Frankly
Julie, I don’t have much of a
choice.

Homeroom 249 appears to be
an exception to the homeroom
policy. Seymour Rifkind, health
instructor, makes the difference.
Many students complain that
homeroom is a waste of time,
and nothing is accomplished. Al
though homeroom was planned
as the time for students to hear
announcements, receive school
notices, and referrals, frequent
ly nothing seemes to be ac
complished.
RIFKIND CARES ABOUT
each student as an individual
and tries to make his home
room period a pleasurable and
enlightening experience.
Rifkind first stopped being
“just another faculty member,”
by reading some passages from
“The Prophet” by Kahil Gibran
to the students. He shared his
thoughts with the class, and
they responded with respect.
Rifkind appeared to understand
just how this room of young,
sometimes troubled,
adults,
were thinking.
He has built a close rapport
among a group of students, and
served as a friend and confi
dante. Many students share their
thoughts, prose, and books, with
him.
A 1969 graduate of East, Rif
kind knows the school from a
different standpoint than other
teachers, which probably has
something to do with his under
standing of students.
HIS WAYS OF HANDLING
homeroom situations are as
unique and genuine as his per
sonality and character. Seymour
Rifkind cares, and his students
respond.

Wood Technology students learn the skills of carpentry
By Wendy Gerber
Advanced Wood Technology
students, taught by Robert
Keen, learn and practice car
pentry skills that will be useful
for their future life.
First these students must take
Wood Technology 1-2 where they
learn the basic skills and apply
them by building tables during
the first semester. The students
are required to use all the ma
chines in the shop at least once
for their project.
BESIDES BUILDING the
tables, the students will stain,
varnish, or wax them. The rest
of the year in Woods 1-2, they
are allowed to build any project,
with the teacher’s approval.
“Advanced Wood Technology
offers good experience with
tools and wood. I recommend
the class to other students,” A1
Portnoy, a student in the woods
class, commented.
“I think the class is interest
ing because we go to a lot of
different places,” described Jim
Mooradian.
The students in advanced
Wood Technology built two tool
sheds this year. On December
16 they erected the sheds they
had constructed at Mr. Karl
De Jonge’s house and Mrs. Hel
ler’s house. The job took them
approximately two hours to
complete.
“Building these sheds gave the
kids the same type of exper
iences as building a house. They
worked on them for about 12
weeks. First they designed and
built a small model. The actual
building of the shed took about
three weeks with seven boys
working on each shed,” explain
ed Keen.
FOR THE NEXT project the
students will build a maximum
of eight kitchen cabinets for
Ronald Henrici. They went to
his house to look at his kitchen,
and to get blue prints to design
the cabinets which they will in
stall.
