Eight Students Spend
Spring B reak in Russia
What started as a joke became a reality
as eight students and four adults from
Niles East traveled to Russia from April
13-20.
The group included Robert Katz, Renee
Render, Janet Ginsberg, Laura Sable,
Brooke Kaplin, Bonnie Levco, Jordan
Lohn, and Laura Johnson. Joining the stu
dents were Mr. Moshak, East Russian
teacher, and his wife; Mrs. Wright,
secretary in the language office; and Miss
Rochette, a Spanish teacher.
The group spent four days in Moscow
and four days in Leningrad.
THE TRIP STARTED as a joke when
Robert asked Mr. Moshak, “ Why don't we
go on a field trip to Russia?'' Mr. Moshak
told Robert to look into the situation, not
expecting anything else to develop.
“ I didn't take Robert seriously. Other
students in previous years have tried to
organize a trip, but nothing has ever
developed," said Mr. Moshak.
Robert took it seriously, however, and
when he received enough positive
response, Robert began to organize the
trip.
“I wanted to visit Russia because we
talked about Russia in class. I saw
pictures in class about the country, but
people know very little about the country
since few people have gone there," said
Robert.
He added, “ I went to 10 travel agen
cies and found Aeroflot the most
accommodating. The fee of $713 included
travel expense, the hotel room, and three
meals a day.
"The airline was terrible. The plane
was jam packed, and it carried only the
bare necessities. " said Renee.
They stayed at Hotel Russia, which has
3.000 rooms.
In Moscow they toured the Kremlin, St.
Basil s Cathedral, the Bolshoi Ballet,
Moscow University, and the Exhibition of
Economic Achievements, which shows
how Russia uses money.
THEY ALSO WENT inside the Museum
of the Kremlin, which contains lavish
jewels that former czars possessed.
They traveled by the Russian subway,
the Metro, which impressed the group
with its mosaic ceilings, sculptured,
marble walls, and chandeliers. Their tour
guide commented on the subway: “ We try
to put beauty wherever it can be seen.”
The group also got a glimpse of Moscow
lifestyles. They found Russian life simple,
with not much concern for style. The
clothing seemed drab, with miniskirts and
patent leather platforms comprising what
“ style" there is.
There are few traffic jams because
there are not many privately owned cars
in Russia. The expense is too great for an
average citizen. Transportation is
provided by the subway system and buses.
The department stores in Russia are
very small, with the exception of Gum,
(pronounced “ goom” ) Department Store.
Gum is a beautiful building, according to
Renee. It was formerly a palace. “The
quality of merchandise, however, com
pares to Turnstyle," commented Mr.
Moshak.
Wherever they went, they were asked
for chewing gum. The government does
not allow the sale of gum in Russia. "They
would do almost anything for chewing
gum," said Janet Ginsberg. Bob traded
three packs of Juicy Fruit gum for a
leather belt with a brass buckle.
IN LENINGRAD, THE group visited
Leningrad U niversity, the Naval
Museum, the Winter Palace, the
Nilehilite staff wins award
The Nilehilite has won another award.
This from Columbia University in New
York, awarded for the Spring Semester,
1975. The Nilehilite earned the Medalist
Award by scoring 975 points out of a pos
s ib le
1000 in th e a r e a s of
contents/coverage, writing/editing, and
display/design. The Nilehilite received
praise for its outstanding writing and
design, and for its “ professional look. "

St. Isaac's Cathedral, Leningrad.
Hermitage, and St. Isaac’s Cathedral.
Bob was impressed most with the
Hermitage. “I was fascinated by the
wealth of the czars. They ate on goid, sat
on gold, and slept on gold," said Katz.
Except for the museum and some
cathedrals, the buildings appeared
shabby. Janet Ginsberg reflected on the
"w ar atmosphere" — the walls of many
buildings appeared “ eaten away,"
according to Janet.
Renee was able to see “ typical" apart
ment living when she visited one of her
cousins. She found two rooms: one for all
purposes — bedroom, living room, and
dining room — and a tiny kitchen. All the
apartments looked similar.
The group did not enjoy the food, which
consisted mostly of boiled fish and meat.
But the last night they enjoyed a feast of
shish-kebob and caviar, also the
accompaniment of a live band.
This was the third trip to Russia for Mr.
Moshak. The last time was in 1964. He has
seen little change. “They think they are
better off. but by our standards there is no
comparison. The last time I was here
there were few cars; now there are
more,” said Moshak. He also felt there
was apathy, even hostility among the peo
ple. “People are very impolite toward
each other,” he said.
Russia is now a reality for these twelve
persons.

“Could It Be Magic," this year's JuniorSenior prom will be held May 28, 1976
from 8 to 11 p.m. at Allgauers Fireside.
Tickets to prom, sponsored by the
Junior Cabinet are $25 a couple. The
evening includes a sit down dinner, and
prom-goers will dance to the music of
Dick Single and His Orchestra.
CABINET MEMBERS HAVE been
planning the dinner-dance since
September. Their plans include a “ night
full of magic,” according to Larry
Meisner, cabinet president. The cabinet
selected the theme “ Could It Be Magic"
the title of a song by Barry Manilow.
“ It’s a good theme that fits the mood of
the evening," said one cabinet member.
“ It’s also magic that we came up with
the money to finance the prom," said
Meisner.
The cabinet, led by Larry Meisner,
president; Paula Sugarman, vicepresident; David Pevsner, treasurer and
Howard Steirman, secretary, have
worked throughout the year to raise
money for the prom. Fundraising projects
included candy and taffy apple sales and
valentine-o-grams.
The election of prom king and queen
will be held Tuesday, May 25 in the
cafeteria during lunch periods. The only
requirement for a couple running for king
and queen is that one member be a senior.
All juniors and seniors are eligible to cast
votes.
“ It is going to be an evening filled with
excitement and m em ories," said
Meisner.
Prom tickets are on sale in the cafe
teria periods 6-9.
Seniors sponsor blood drive
“ It is better to give than to receive,"
one of the slogans of the Skokie Blood Pro
gram, will become the Senior Cabinet's
slogan as they hold their blood drive Wed.
June 3 in the student lounge.
Last year's Senior Class donated blood
as a class gift. This year the cabinet has
decided to sponsor the drive as an end of
the year project.
“ It takes so little work and it helps so
many," said John Herbst. cabinet
sponsor.

Larry Meisner, 7 7 and Sally Saber, 7 6 , still on their feet after com
pleting Student Senates' 30-hour dance marathon. The marathon, a
benefit for Mentally Retarded Citizens, raised over $3644 through
telephone pledges and the dancers' sponsors. The first place couple,
Meisner and Saber, won three-speed bicycles. Other winners included:
Kathy Schoen, 7 7 and Jerry Goldberg, 7 6 and Barry Kramer, 7 7 and
Sue Feldman, 7 6 .
LAST YEAR’S DRIVE brought in 87
units of blood. This year's goal is 100
units. Anyone 17 years of age, weighing
over 110 pounds and in good health is
eligible to donate. Individuals with colds
or those on medication will be deferred
from donating.
The Skokie Blood Program insures each
donor and his family blood protection for
one year. That means the donor and his
family will receive total blood
replacement at the hospital of their
choice anywhere in the United States
regardless of the amount of blood
required.
Nancy Nordgern of the Skokie Health
Dept, emphasizes another of the pro
gram's slogans: "Blood is the gift of
life."
“ Blood is expensive in Florida, $35 a
unit. By giving blood, students can give
grandparents who live in Florida a
wonderful gift," she explained.
The entire process of drawing blood is
handled by the Michael Reese Blood
Center. Doctors from the center bring a
mobile unit into the school and execute all
necessary procedures.
The drive will last from 10 a.m. to 12
p.m., June 3. Interested donors should
contact Mr. H erbst for fu rth er
information.

Actress Broadway bound
by Nancy Angell
Patti Sucherman, senior, re
cently one of the major leads in
past E ast productions of
“ Fiorello,” and “The House of
Blue Leaves,” and presently a
director of the one-act play
“ Here We Are” by Dorothy
Parker, plans a career in acting
and the theatre.
This summer, for example,
she hopes to join a special
program at the Wisdom Bridge
Theatre. This program involves
ten apprentice actors who will
attend an actor’s workshop run
by David Beaird, the Wisdom
Bridge director, and who will
work with the Wisdom Bridge
company in a performance.
Initially, the apprentices are
working for free, but if an actor
is good enough he might perform
at the Renaissance Fair in
Gurney, 111., or stay in the
theatre company after the sum
mer. Patti believes, however,
that even if she doesn’t get
chosen, her auditioning will have
been good experience. “ I ’ll be
getting lot of turn-downs in the
coming years. It’s best to get
used to it now.”
In terms of schooling, Patti
hopes to attend at the Goodman
School, but as yet has not au
ditioned.
PATTI ENJOYS THE
directing she is doing now. “It’s
interesting being on the other
side of the stage,” she says, but
adds, “ I like to be on stage ten
times more. I like to be in the
limelight.”
Awards Received
in the cast: Kathy Baer, Mark
Blackman, Elaine Cohn, Bill
Daitchman, Barry K ram er,
Randi Merel, Carol Miller, and
Phil Rappaport.
The cast will perform four of
the tales; “The Magic Tree,”
“ Peter the Fool,” “ Mouse Mar
riage,” and “ Spider Talk,” as
various animal characters and
other objects. The costumes will
be simple, just brightly colored
overalls with large masks to
convey the various animals.
Each cast member will play
more than one “ character” in
each tale. For example, one
person in the “ Magic Tree”
plays a tree, a mountain, and a
villager.
One cast member said that the
show is “ based loosely on the
script but consists mostly of im
provisations.” He also said that
“ It’s good because we can get all
our inhibitions out. We all act
like animals! !”

Varsity baseball team defeats West;
Gains first conference victory
by Howard Simon
The varsity baseball team won
its first conference game of the
season by defeating the de
fending state champion, Niles
West, 4-3 on Thursday, April 22.
East trailed 3-2 with two out
and no one on in the bottom of
the fifth when Gary Musick beat
the throw to second. West’s
pitcher then proceeded to throw
a wild pitch, enabling both
runners to advance. Mark Brines
then drove in both runs with a
line single to left.
Flip Gagerman held on to the
lead to pick up the win in relief of
starter John O’Malley.
EAST S CONFERENCE REC
ORD is 3-6 but despite the poor
record, the team has been
competitive, according to Coach
Galla. “ We have just been un
able to get the big hit or the big
defensive play; our pitchers
have continued to do well,’’ said
Galla.
Harry Steindler pitched a
superb game, shutting out Maine
East 3-0 on a four hitter. Bob
Torstensson led the Trojan at
tack with two hits and two runs
batted in.
Leading hitters for the Trojans
are Mark Brines, Wayne Braverman, and Marty Rosenbaum.
Bob Torstensson has been on a
streak lately, getting six hits in
his last three games, ending with
Glenbrook South.
In the GBS game, Braverman
led the way with a homerun and
a double, driving in four runs.
Flip Gagerman picked up his
fourth win of the year without a
loss with a 9-2 victory.
Gagerman held Glenbrook
scoreless until two out in the last
inning when he gave up a
homerun.

THE SOPHOMORE TEAMS
continue to win as the baseball
team has a 9-5-2 record with a 7-2
conference record, good for
second place in the conference
behind Niles North.
Coach Sandstead is pleased
with the team ’s performance.
“ I ’m surprised we’ve done as
well as we have, considering as
freshman they won only four
games all year.”
Hitting has been the strength
of the team. The team batting
average is .330.
Leading hitters are Mark
Brutzkus, hitting .500, Tom
Siemsen (.450), Art Mandel
(.380), Mark Arenson (.360),
John Orloff (.333), and Steve
Gothelf (.320).
Top pitchers on the team are
Greg Olshock with a 3-2-1 record,
A1 Gothelf, a 2-2 record, and Tom
Siemsen, a 2-1 record.
THE DEFENSE IS GOOD
according to Sandstead. Orloff at
third base, Steve Gothelf catch
ing, Barry Finn at short, Mandel
at second, and Arenson in center
field have been the solid per
formers.
“The team likes to run,” said
Sandstead. Leading base stealers
are Mandel (11), Orloff (10), and
Finn (10).
Sandstead felt the reason for
the team ’s success thus far has
been because of their attitude.
“They are a good group of ath
letes, who have the desire to per
form well as individuals,” con
cluded Sandstead.
On the freshman level the A
team is 9-7 overall and 5-5 in con
ference. The B team is 8-5 over
all and 6-4 in conference play.

Varsity trackers off to false start
by Marty Rossman

good chance to make it downstate. Bower and Greenberg also
have an outside shot at it.

The Mystique of Wrigley Field
(Photo by Mike Bass)
by Mike Bass
The Chicago Cubs have not
won a pennant since 1945, or a
World Series since 1908, yet they
always draw good crowds at
Wrigley Field. A talk with some
of Chicago’s broadcasters and
with a few Easthi students
proved helpful in explaining this
phenomenon.
Channel 7 sportscaster, Bill
Frink thinks “ Wrigley Field is a
comfortable place to watch a
baseball game. I think that a
lot of fans go to Wrigley Field be
cause of the smallness, the
quaintness of the park, and the
fact that they play only day
games. It’s a comfortable
situation to go there. I think
there’s a certain mystique about
it that draws the fans there.
There’s also a certain loyalty of
the Cub fan that other ball clubs
don’t have.”
CHANNEL 2 MAN, Larry
Sachnoff and Jim West of
Channel 9 feel the same.
Sachnoff adds, “ Parents aren’t
afraid to let their kids go to
Wrigley Field.” He also feels
that “people have learned to put
up with losing teams in Chica
go-”
Tim Weigel of Channel 5 feels
that the Cubs draw big crowds
because Chicago is “Cubs town. ”
And Dave Baum of WIND said,
“ I think Cub fans know that when
they go out to see the Cubs play,
win or lose, they’re going to see
an exciting game, and you’re
going to see home runs, and
you're going to see some strange
plays, but you're always going to
have fun at Wrigley Field.”
Sanford Cherney, 77 Nilehi
student agrees, and adds, “The
fact is that Wrigley Field is kept
cleaner and more sanitary than
most big league stadiums. It’s
more intimate, and a smaller
park, so the fans are closer to the
field.” Also, “ there is good ac
cess to public transportation.”
Gary Glochowsky, '78, added
that “ there are a lot of favorite
players like Jose Cardenal, Rick
Monday, and for me, Randy
Hundley.” Gary feels that the
changes at Comiskey Park have
hurt White Sox attendance, but
since Wrigley Field stays the
same, the crowds still come.
Bill Frink brought up an
interesting point. He sees night
baseball as a possibility in the
future for the Cubs — perhaps af
ter P. K. Wrigley is gone. Frink
believes that this could ruin the
mystique of the Cubs and their
ball park, and considerably low
er Cub attendance.
