The trumpets of all three district
schools were then featured on Bugler’s
Holiday. The concert was finished with
the brass sections of North and West
joining the Concert Band in The Finale
from Kalinnikov’s Symphony No. 1 in
G.
IN THE M IDDLE of their perfor
mance, the Concert Band played Nilehi,
as this was the last big concert that
they would perform in. Prior to the
concert, the Music Parents Association
served a dinner in the Student Lounge,
and afterwards a reception commemor
ating the final East Festival of Bands
was held.
On Saturday, March 1, eighteen East

High School Association Solo/Ensemble Contest at Plainfield High School in
Plainfield.
First division ratings for solos went

with Therese Levan and Aviva Gold
also won first. Ted Hill and Chris
Konior got a second for their horn duet.
Two flute solos, Sue Dickman and
Ilene France received perfect scores for
their performances.
“My Fair Lady ” selects cast
The East Theater Department will
present its final production, My Fair
Lady, May 22-24. Auditions held
March 4 and 5 were open to any
interested alumni as well as any
students currently attending East.
The leading roles were given to Ted
Hill ’80, who will play professor Henry
Higgins, and alumna Debbie Crane,
who will play Eliza Doolittle, the same
role she portrayed in 1968 when East
first produced the musical. Also chosen
as leads were Ira Strongin '82, and
alumni Marc Schwartz and Andrew
Rosenson. Fifteen alumni and twentyone students were chosen to make up
the supporting cast.
ALUMNI HAVE ALSO been select
ed to aid the usual directors, Jerry
P roffit and F ra n k . M ayfield, in
Producing and directing what they
hope will be the best musical ever put
on at East. Assistant directors include
Ellen Lieberman ’69, and Sue Klein '70.
Amy Ginsburg '72 will choreograph the
show and Marc Schwartz ’72 will
design the lighting. Gary Baugh, a
professional set designer has designed
elaborate sets for the show.
Profrit hopes that the show will be a
success, but in order to accomplish
this, extra funds will be needed. “We
don’t have enough money to do what
we want to.” he admits. He estimates
that the show will cost about $10,000
and even if it sells out every night the
cost will still not be covered.
“We haven’t received anything extra

we’re still negotiating.’

Schools must recognize
working students’ plight
Students work for a variety of
reasons: lack of money, a desire for
experience, or parental pressure are a
few that come to mind. Whatever the
reason, approximately 60% of East
juniors and seniors work, and, unfortu
nately, most are left struggling to
maintain the tenuous balance between
school and good grades, their jobs, and
often extracurricular activities, such as
athletic practice.
Fulfilling these responsibilities in
volves many “late nights” spent up
until one or two in -the morning so that
all homework and studying can be done
before the alarm clock buzzes at
six-fifteen. Other times the homework
may not get done, catching the student
in a vicious cycle.
MANY WORK TO help pay future
college expenses, and then may not be
able to maintain the grades necessary
for the college of their choice.
Scholarship money is in scarce supply,
and college costs, along with every
thing else, continue to rise almost
n ecessitatin g the added income a
student’s job supplies. Parents are also
struggling in our tightening economy
as they try to buy necessities that
have become luxuries.
Schools must recognize the current
“Era of the Working Student,” and
realize that it will be in vogue for many
years to come. Students need teachers’
and counselors’ aid in arranging a
schedule that allows enough time for
schoolwork, job, and leisure. Programs
like DECA, co-operative education, or
on the job training courses, that the
school offers are not for everyone —
students with five or even six majors,
plus gym, simply do not have time in
their schedules to fit these in.
Also, current school policy has
students signing up for next year’s
classes by early April. Granted, the
school needs time in order to plan and
I observer .
~ '
prepare for the oncoming schedules,
but as it stands, leaves little flexibility
for the student. Few students, or, for
that matter, adults, know exactly what
they are going to be doing next
September or January. Dropping a
class has become an almost Herculean
task, thus leaving students to struggle
with lowering grades, and/or the
distinct possibility of failing a course,
often with no “out” in sight.
CURRENT SCHOOL BOARD poli
cy allows for one-half hour of homework
per class per night, an amount not
unreasonable in itself. However, multi
ply it five, and the working student has
but little choice except to stay up late.
Most of the available jobs involve a
shift of approximately 5-10:15, leaving
little time inbetween the end of school
and the reporting time at work. Few
can sit down immediately upon arriving
home and “hit the books” after having
spent the day doing that at school, and
the half-hour figure is idealistic-in
actuality it can take twice that time,
especially if an honors class is involved.
Obviously, the dilemma of the
working student is not an easily solved
problem, since combining school,
homework and a job that usually«
entails at least twenty hours a week is
not an easy task. The answer does not
include teachers, counselors, and
administrators telling the student that
he should not be working, and/or to
quit his job. With today’s inflation rate
at 18%, th a t is an unreasonable
request, and one that is unlikely to be
enacted.
Rather, it involves future cooperatioxi
on behalf of all parties concerned while
also requiring greater flexibility in
scheduling and communication. Hope
fully, these changes will occur before
too many students find themselves
either sinking or failing, a problem that
has become all too common in recent
years.

As E ast’s “Final Days” draw nearer,
Trojans should be aware of attempts by
overly sentimental students and admin

aspect of E ast’s daily routine. We have
already become well acquainted with
the by-weekly p.a. announcem ents

constant reminders. East students are
bright enough to recognize that since
this is east’s last year all activities will
be having their final games, final
benefits, and final awards ceremonies.
WHAT REA LLY CONCERNS me,
as that final day approaches, is the
chance of special awards being doled

the last drug dealer to be arrested on
Mulford Street, or the last student to

graduate with a 3.98765 G.P.A.
To inspire real interest in the last
year of activities at East, the emphasis
must be shifted away from the “last
game” to the schedule throughout the
season. For example, all important
basketball games should be announced
and publicized, not ju st the last few
crucial ones. A special bulletin board
adjacent to the main office could serve
such a purpose. On it, upcoming games
could be listed plus transportation
informaiton.
Athletes deserve commendation
Although E ast does not have the
reputation of being an “ a th le tic ”
school, with the possible exception of
our wrestling team, which was ranked
socially far behind. Failure could result
from the early graduate’s lack of the
kind of emotional strength needed to
survive in tod ay’s ultracom petitive
colleges. Regarding the social factor,
it ’s highly unlikely that the early
entrance student will fit-in to a group
considerably more mature than he.
E A R L Y G R A D U A TIO N N A R }
RO W S the high school stu dent’s
experience. To graduate early a student
m ust take a strenuous workload,
allowing little time for extra-curricular
activities. As a result, the student loses
the opportunity to enrich him self
through extracurricular activities, and
the school suffers from the lack of his
participation. Not only does the
student lose the opportunity to
participate in extracurricular activities
while he’s struggling to graduate early,
but loses a whole semester or year of
high school which could be devoted to
the extra-curricular activ ity of his
choice.
Finally, there is the financial loss of
graduating early to attend college. A
student who does well on his APP or
CLEP tests1" ean literally save thou
sands of dollars in collage tuition. For
example, a high score on the CLEP
American Literature test could learn
the student six hours of college credit
or $1100.
The Nilehilite does not advocate the
eradication of the early graduation
option. For some highly gifted students
it is a blessing. What needs attention is
the growing number Of students of
modest academic ability who are opting
to graduate early. More effort should
be made by counselors, teachers, and
parents alike to convince these
students that early graduation -could
ruin their educational and emotioned
development instead of fostering it.
sixth iin state, all East athletes deserve
special commendation.
It is not easy to compete in a league
noted for its powerhouse teams or to
put-in long hours of hard work during
daily practice sessions. I t ’s necessary
for the benefit of the team, but it often
fails to garner recognition for the
“average” athlete and mainstay of the
team. Everyone has been under great
pressure to make E ast’s final season its
best. Gymnast Mary Ann Kostyniuk
took first in state for the uneven
parallel bars, second in the all-around;
wrestlers Mark DeMar, Danny Sarasin,
Steve Sylvan, and Kelly Walls qualified
for state meets, as did tennis player
Claudia Brisk.
A LSO , ’T H E LOCAL press and
Chicago Tribune have been d( oting
much attention to such Trojans *as
all-conference basketball player Joel
Kessler, Brisk, and wrestler Howie
W alovitch. T ro jan s have merited
all-conference honors on the tennis
courts, football field, basketball court,
and golf course. A majority of places on
the all-conference wrestling team are
held by Trojan grapplers.
To remedy this situation, where only
the top stars of a team have received
the press and the PA announcements,
the Nilehilite would like to commend all
who have given up their time
exhibiting much selflessness and
exerting much effort for the team and
for East. A school cannot compete
successfully unless students support
their teams, either by participating on
one, or by attending the meets.
The Nilehilite hopes that all; players,
students, coaches and teachers under
stand and appreciate the great efforts
that have been put forth so that this
last year could be one of E ast’s best.

Student jobs both
help and hinder
By Stacey Sacksner
“Even though my job seems
to interfere with my school
work, I like it, and I find that
I can organize my time better
now,” says one senior at East.
This seems to be the attitude
of many students who work.
TH E
REA SO N
FO R
W O RKIN G while attending
school is the need for extra
money and there are pros and
cons in this situation. Most
students are in need of money
for a college education or
additional career courses, and
don’t have much choice as to
whether or not they should get
a job. Frequently, they are
told by their parents to go to
work if they intend to continue
their education because the
fam ily budget can ’t be
stretched any further, especial
ly if there is already a college
student in the family.
Even if furthering their
education is not part of their
immediate plans they often
receive the same type of
“subtle” suggestion from thenparents.
“My parents tell me that if I
want to buy items for myself, I
should go out and work for it,”
says Kathleen Barry, ’82.

Brick by brick Floyd
builds a new classic
By Erich Massat
Pink Floyd’s “The Wall” is
destined to become another
link in the chain of classic
albums released by the band
since their first real success,
“Dark Side of the Moon.”
This group doesn’t
merely scribble out tunes or
mouth catchy lyrics, but sings
songs which are provoed by
society and life, filled with
ideas and images that capture
the imagination.
TH E DOUBLE ALBUM ,is
a “comcept album;” that is, it
deals with one theme. Most of
the songs were written by
Roger Waters. They tell the
story of the band’s incapabil
ity to deal with reality which
began in the late 60’s when
ex-Floyder Syd Barrett, com
mitted in 1968, began having
personal problems. In those
years, the band members were
caught up by their own
success. In essence, “a wall”
was built between the band
and society. The band mem
bers, in the end, were “forced
to expose themselves as being
real.”
In an interview with the
Chicago Tribune, g u itarist
David Gilmour expressed the
band’s feelings, “I guess we
are, to a certain degree,
obsessed by both the way the
music industry and society eat
up people.”
The song “In the Flesh”
expresses the band’s identity
crisis.
So ya thought ya might like
to go to the show. To feel the
warm thrill of confusion and
spaee cadet glow. I ’ve got
some bad news for you
sunshine, Pink isn’t feeling
well, he stayed back at hte
hotel And they sent us along
as a surrogate band And we’re
going to find out where you for
us stand. Are there any queers
out there tonight? Get ’em up
against the wall If I had my
wav I ’d have you all shot!
In this critic’s view “The
Wall” was the best album
released in 1979. But with the
group having done so much in
the past decade, one has to ask
what’s next for Floyd? Only
time will tell. After all, “We
are all ju st bricks in the wall.”

What about going dutchtreat, t h a t is, each person'

found which the student
thinks is “pretty decent” and
he quickly develops a routine
that balances schoolwork and
a job.
The students meet new
friends, gain experience, and
generally feel useful. It can be
difficult when they return
home from work and still face
a stack of homework “due
tomorrow.” Some work at it
until the wee hours of the
night while others leave bits
and pieces undone — to be
completed at school, in the
morning, if possible. Both are'
poor practices because after
awhile their m arks sta rt
slipping and they must look

best solution to this problem is
to organize their time so that
every minute is accounted for.
Most students agree that
work experience is important
because they learn about the
world outside of school and
make new contacts, while at
the same time earning money.
TH E FINAL COMMENT
of most students is, “I like my
job and the feeling of indepen

get to college, I think I ’ll
continue to work. Now that

Financial aids help cover
rising college tuitions
By Stacey Sacksner
While college costs continue
to rise, the amount of financial
aid rises also. For the 1980-81
school year, over $12.3 billion
will be available for college,
junior college, and vocational
school students who need help
in paying for their education.
The key word is “need.” With
even state schools costing over
$3,000 a year, many “middle
income” families will be sur
prised to find that they are
judged “needy” — particularly
when number and ages of
other children, expenses,
debts, and retirement factors
are considered.
The outlook for m iddle
income families is even better
for the school year ’80-’81. The
federal government passed the
“ Middle Income A ssistan ce
Act” last year Which moved up
the income level to over
$25,000 and moved down the
percentage of college costs
parents are expected to pay.
Financial aid programs con
sist of grants or scholarships
(aid that does not have to be
repaid), loans, (aid that must
be repaid) and college work
study (a job that the college
provides or a student finds for
him self). When a student
applies for financial aid, he is
usually offered a combination
of each kind. He is free to
accept or refuse any part or all
of the combination.
Most students say, “I won’t
even try for aid because I
know th at I ’ll get refused
anyhow.”
This is not true. If a person
can dem onstrate financial
need, then aid will be granted
to him. The important thing is
th a t the students try
Two major types of state

ditional sources. Finally, each
week counselors will bring
local scholarship bulletins to

Students are encouraged to
try for aid even if they don’t
feel the need a t the time

sometimes occur later in which
students can no longer “hack”

Metals class welcomes back Maggio
By Wanda, Mech
E a s t Audio V isual and
Learning M aterials Center
Coordinator, Andrew Maggio,
has returned to the classroom
after an eighteen year haitus.
Maggio teaches two metals
classés at E ast while retaining
his position of LMC and Audio
Visual coordinator.
MAGGIO DID NOT E X
PECT to teach a metals class
this year but when Tom
K aiser, former E a s t m etals
teacher, took a leave of
absence Maggio was notified
that he would replace him.
In 1956, Maggio came to
East to teach in the metals
shop, a position he held for six
years. During this time he also
coached football and wrestling.
In 1962, after training for
audio visual duties, Maggio
was made audio visual coordin
ator. Besides this, he served as
president of E ast’s PTA from
1972-1974. In 1977 Maggio
became LMC coordinator.
During his long tenure at
East, Maggio has noted a
change in shop procedures and
student attitu d es such as
today’s lack of cooperation.
During M aggio’s firs t six
years in class (1956-1962) a
student would come into class,
take a seat, wait for the
teacher to take attendance,
listen for announcements, and
then start, continue, or finish
his projects.
“Now students are restless,”
said Maggio. “As soon as they
get into class, they want to
work on their individual
projects. Many students are
cooperative but according to
M aggio, “ There are a few
problem students who don’t
seem to want to be in the
class.”
“TH E F IR S T FEW weeks
were difficult, but now I ’m
adjusting,” explained Maggio.
N ext year he is going
to West and is hoping to retain
his title as Audio Visual and
LMC coordinator.

Trojans defeat Evanston
in last regional playoff
by Barb Reich
When the ’79-’80 basketball
season began, coach Em il
Capitani longed to win a
regional game. His Trojan’s
fulfilled that goal when they
beat the Evanston Wildcats on
March 3rd. Though the Tro
jan ’s were down 12 points in
the 3rd quarter, Joel Kessler
rallied with 14 points in the
final minutes of the game.
Team m ate Ed Cohen also
contributed to the Trojan win
with three jumpshots. B y the
end of the game, Kessler had
accumulated 32 points, and
Cohen scored 14. Coach Capi
tani felt the slim 55-52 triumph
“was clinched by Jo el’s two
freé throws."
HOWEVER, IT WAS to be
the final success of the season.
The Trojan’s later lost to Niles
West 75-62 — a game which
could have led the Trojan’s to
sectionals playoffs had they
won.
“W E COULDN’T BREA K
their full court press," says
Guard Matt Donath.
ALTH O UGH T H E S E A
SON came to a close with
seven points (as opposed to
last year’s 9 wins), the season
still hfeve its high points. The
Trojan's smashed St. Gregory
75-39. They won the Rockford
Holiday Tourney 71-54, with
K essler making all-tourna
ment. The Trojan’s trounced
sister school North to a
grueling defeat of 52 to 26.
Also, Kessler received honor
able mention and was named
all-area by the Chicago SunTimes.
Despite some hard losses,
Coach Capitani held the team
in high praise. “ W ith our
record most would call it quits,
but the boys still battled back
in the regionals." And one of
Capitani’s special battlers was
Matt Donath. “He’s one of the
best defensive guards and ball
handlers I ’ve seen in all my
years of coaching," continued
Capitani. I t ’s ju st that our
record didn't give him a
chance to be recognized."

are required to take competen

questions may be used every
game, or they may never be
used in an official’s career.
