Lester Luce in front of our new high school. The snow was so deep that all area schools were closed except Niles for a period of several days. The arrival of Asiatic flu, the common cold, and glandular fever caused more absence than usual. In 1957-58 probably the greatest single influence upon the world and Niles High School was the successful launching of the Russian Sputnik, pre- ceding the American Vanguard by three months. tyaouuti key, lead In qioinxf ul (pood icUooJU .

CARL HALLENIUS The following students tribute in memorium appeared in the NEW MOON: Carl J. Hallenius was a man who taught English, a man who devoted his whole life to teaching. He never married; he lived alone in his apartment on Cedar Street. Here was a quiet man who won a bronze star for bravery during World War II. Here was a well-read, well-dressed man who built tourist cabins in his home town, Gaylord, Michigan. This man, who directed the school plays since 1949, was studying under a carpen- ter in his spare time to have the skill for building his cabins where he had planned to retire. This was a man who went to several universities, receiving his A.B. degree from Central Michigan College, and who had a hobby of cooking. He had charge of the NEW MOON from 1948 till 1953. He was a man who had traveled to Europe in the summer of 1955, planning to re-visit next summer, and worked at Falvey ' s Clothing Store when he was not traveling. This man didn ' t let enough of his perso nality show through his cover of shy reserve. He had his own quiet humor, and was an interesting conversationalist. He never indulged in gossip or pettiness. The school will miss his friendly ways, his gentlemanly man- ners, and his contributions to the school system. Mr. Hallenius loved the fields and woods of Gaylord, Michigan. The last Thespian group under Mr. Hallenius poses for a photo. 9 t(letfoeme it BILL MATHEWS William E. Mathews, Bill to his many friends, has been a favorite teacher of hundreds of Niles students since he first came in 1922. A band master extraordinary Bill founded the Dowa- giac band in 1916 and then originated the Niles band in 1922. He continued as band director until 1936. Since then, over the years he has taught, besides government and commercial law, the importance of a sense of humor and a need for a mature philosophy. Students will always remember Bill for his sincere friendliness, his bizarre calendars, his un- limited stories, his expert advice on such matters as business, law, politics, and his practical jokes. Besides receiving his A.B. degree at the Uni- versity of Michigan, Bill Mathews has done graduate work at Northwestern University. Much of his time, particularly the summer is spent at his farm in Indiana. His habits consist of hard work and little sleep. Bill Mathews spends much free time on the farm. One of Bill ' s earlier bands poses for a photo. Niles High School will miss this man who fights the Battle of the Bulge by eating more salad dressing and ice cream, who retains the running friendly feud with Mr. Walker as to who is the oldest, who rides to and from school in obliging taxis while his new Roadmaster stays in the garage, and who above all considers all boys and girls to be friends as well as students. In a typical hall scene Bill fixes Mr. Smith while Mr. Nieboer awaits the reaction. Otke ti, owtnilutfe Jeanne Harroff, Secretary to Mr. Luce ; Melba Parks, Of- fice Secretary.

School £y ffOoi, buA , and can, we, aAAioe, After arousing from slumber and hurriedly dressing and eat- ing, we prepare to begin another day at NHS. Some of us are early birds, arriving by 8:00. We attend meet- ings: Student Council, N Club, band and choir sectionals. If we have studying to do, we go to the library or to study hall. The winter cold causes us to hurry to get inside. Students drive to school and make good use of the parking lot. ' • ' U { 4clwol n cubf, 1 GMtdlteA day a ! ' Jto W ' |fl I mm Student Council meetings are held in the cafeteria every Monday morning, giving other students a chance to attend and observe. STUDENT COUNCIL Who sponsors the after-game dances you attend? Who makes it possible for you to buy candy at noon? Who sponsors the Homecom- ing and Snowball activities? Who tries to improve the school and make it better through committee work? Yes, it ' s the Student Council. This is an elected student govern- ing body of our school, under the direction of Mr. Nieboer. Its purpose is to provide student participation and training in facilitating the edu- cation program of our school. Composed of six sophomores, eight juniors, and ten seniors, the Student Council attempts to utilize as many students as possible in a program of service through a variety of activities. The Council holds its weekly pre- school meetings each Monday. The Viking Handbook, Student Directory, STAR, Government Day,New Moon, and the auditorium programs are all sponsored by our Student Council. Candy sellers, Joyce Schmidt and Mitzie Brock, help us satisfy our sweet tooth after school. Candy is sold by the Student Council as a student service.

Sonny Frantz, Ric Hoskin, and Bob Thorpe are three of the many students who worked on this subject. This year the Student Council Student Directory Committee produced the 1957 Student Di- rectory. Chairman Ric Hoskin and his committee saved the Council approximately $100 by having the directory printed by the students. The alphabetizing, rough drafting, typing, and stenciling were done by the students in Mr. Westerhof ' s first hour short- hand class. 48 to 4xUoe ouA mown pAMM ml .

Other floats were entered by the Stu- dent Council, Spanish Club, Ushers Club, Choir, Future Farmers of America, and Future Homemakers of America. luck Cui Jlo-mecowunxj, weeh . trkr Homecoming Queen Kay Galbreath, center, and her court Judy White, left, and Judie Anderson, right, delight a young fan with their autographs. It takes many students, much worry, and a great deal of work to produce such a big NHS Homecoming celebration as the one presented this year under the direction of Margie Thomas and her committees. The full week ' s celebration began on Monday morning, October 29, 1957, when the student body chose three finalists for queen from sixteen candidates. At a preliminary dance held in the cafeteria that night, the three finalists were announced and crowned by Coach Carey. Following the homecoming Parade a pep rally was held. According to tradition a large bonfire was lighted, and several football players gave words of encouragement for the game. The cheerleaders led cheers around the fire. Climaxing the thrilling week were the game in which we stoutly played but were soundly defeated by Grand Haven; the crowning of -lovely Kay Galbreath as our queen; and the packed alumni dance held in our cafeteria that evening. Shirley Baker serves cake to Queen Kay at the Homecoming dance. iL ■H r s w ?

Sue Smith just can ' t look at her report card which her advisor, Mr. Neal Singles, hands her. Many of us arrive by 8:10 to go to the library which is one of the finest in the state. Miss Hoyt and her assistants ably assist in finding reference materials and books to read. The library conference room is being used by juniors Sharon Sawyer, Betty Gordon, John Cook, and Dick Marks. Dale Miller makes good use of the library while Miss Hoyt keeps an eye on us as we work before school. 52 oxxAMAxvU i , on, cu4,clUosUu,4ft, pAxuyu+mi, Such speakers as the famous half-miler Glenn Cunningham and race driver Jimmy Dwaltz have shared their ex- periences with us.

School talent is also used in the auditorium programs in the form of the annual Christmas program and previews of the plays and other stu- dent productions. We really enjoy the efforts of the Student Council Audi- torium Program Committee. Bob Pierce is a familiar sight during auditorium pro- grams as he leads us in the pledge to the flag.

Besides playing all types of music, band members practice good sportsmanship and coopera- tion. They learn to appreciate and understand music, to play individual in- struments, and to play in ensembles. Concert Band participated in Michigan State University Band Day, a Marching Festival, a Solo and Ensemble Contest, a Solo and Ensemble Festival, two Band and Orchestra Festivals, the Blossom Parade, and the Memorial Day Parade. The annual Band Bounce, a Winter Concert, and a Spring Concert are pro- duced by Concert Band members. Making plans for the Band Bounce are Sally Ahlgrim, Vice-President; Mr. Alleman; Leroy Everhart, President; and Gene Gillispie, Secretary-Treasurer.

There was no Orchestra last year, but this year the new group, under the direction of Mr. John Alleman, has developed into a capable group striving for better performances and better music to stimulate better music appreciation in the students. Orchestra ' s performances for this year include Winter Concert, Spring Concert, Junior Class Play, Senior Class Play, Baccalaure- ate, and Commencement. To play popular music and become a member of the Dance Band, band members must successfully pass all the requirements in tryouts. Practice is held once a week. The money earned from playing engagements is used to purchase necessary equipment and music. The Pep Band is a volunteer group of sports fans who play during the intermissions of the home basketball games. Adding to the partisan support, the band encourages school spirit as well as providing entertainment. 56 e tie itcU i mA, at ixdixw LumjMomA, Front row: Mr. Alleman, Teresa Phelps, Carole Fairchilcl, Sue Wise, Carol Taylor.

Coach Carey congratulates Charlie Curtis at the fall awards assembly. To be eligible for the athletic club membership, a boy must have been awarded a Major Letter in inter-scholastic athletics, be passing in at least fifteen hours of scholastic work, have undergone the initiation (which follows the presentation of awards) as set by the initiation committee. The purpose of N Club is to foster a finer spirit of sportsmanship among boy athletes, to promote a higher interest in athletics, to create more interest in high scholar- ship among athletes, and to provide social activities for its members and friends. One of the club ' s achievements was the purchase of a 16mm movie camera (paid for last year and this year by sales of ice cream bars, potato chips, cokes, and other refresh- ments) . It is used for taking pictures of football and basket- ball games so that the athletes can discover their mistakes when seeing these films. 59 ■mn Qua Vocal yioupA (join Choir members rollick with Frosty the Snowman in the winter scene from the Variety Show. 60 ea ie Ue ic in, iiwjina • % Front Row: Judie Anderson, Frances Prusinski, Barbara Mudd, Marilyn Tonkin, Sally Maxwell, .

Glee Club members sing in Christmas programs, the Variety Show, the Com- mencement, and the auditorium pro- grams. Any sophomore or junior interested in singing may try out for Glee Club. Organized just last year, the Treble- Clef Chorus is the baby of the Vocal Music Department. This all-girl chorus is formed to give the girls practice in music reading, vocal techniques, and ex- periences with choral singing. Their ap- pearances have been included in such functions as the Christmas Programs and the Variety Show. c 4 ec a ca 4e Spanish Club furthers interest and knowledge of Spanish-speak- ing countries, studies customs of these lands in better detail, and gives further opportunity to use the language. Several after-game dances were sponsored by Spanish Club. For Pan-American Week, The Club decorated the Spanish room and gave a tea for the Faculty.

To further interest in home economics, to provide wholesome individual and group recreation, and to give special study to some of the various fields of homemak- ing — these are the purposes of FHA. On January 10, FHA spon- sored a local cherry pie contest. In the Homecoming Parade one of the beautiful cars was deco- rated by the girls of FHA. Other activities on the FHA Calendar include: National FHA Week, Region 5 meeting, State Confer- ence in Grand Rapids, participa- tion in the Donkey Basketball Game, sponsorship of several rec- ord dances, and a bake sale. Throughout the year the FHA members follow a specific, planned program and work to attain the various degrees of FHA.

There are five purposes of GAA: to provide opportunities for participation in girls ' athletic activities, to encourage participa- tion and interest in girls ' ath- letics and sports, to offer oppor- tunities for leadership, to en- courage sportsmanship and good citizenship, and to promote a recreational program for girls of Niles Senior High School.

NEW MOON Aside from presenting the school news to the students and covering the main social events, the Nexu Moon strives to develop responsibility in its staff and readers, stimulate increased com- mand of good English, and pro- vide experience in such activities as editing, proof-reading, stencil- ing, page layout, and selling. The staff this year has again urged the addition of a journal- ism class to the high school cur- riculum. Running off a stencil for a NEW MOON page are the Business Manager, Ric Hoskin, and Typist, Clarence Frantz, with the assistance of Mr. Westerhof. Involved in the planning, typing, and selling of the school paper are co-editors Tom Raschel and Diane Bartholomew; Exchange Editor, Carole Suabedissen; Circulation Manager, Joyce Elo, and the top-seller, Sharon Morehouse. neUxina, a nexMna the, NZW MOON.  - .« , Pat Ostrander sells Tom Mack a lunch ticket.

Putting out a yearbook demands much time, cooperation, and patient work. After determining such matters as theme, cover design, cover color, and organization, the actual work begins in earnest with deadlines to be met with photographs, identifications, and copy. Three different dummies are made out before the final dummy is completed. All material must be sent to the printer twice - - thus two major deadlines. After all screened photos and linotyped material is returned by the printer, they must be pasted as per dummy on mount- ing boards and sent in for the final time and on time we hope for an early delivery in May. Then just as the TATTLER is put to bed , the staff begins again either on the summer supplement due before September or on the 1959 TATTLER so a good start can be made for the next year. Barbara Taliaferro, Senior Editor, trims senior pictures while Kaye Welling, Sophomore Class Editor, and Clar- ence Frantz, Assistant Editor, alphabetize class names.

Happy because they broke the Tattler sales record are Janet Jedele and Sheila Kenny. To secure enough income to pay all expenses of the school yearbook is the very important task of the Tattler Busi- ness Staff. This includes selling of ads by the agents, Tattler sales by the sales managers, and the selling of name cards by the treasurer. Each year the staff seeks to better the ad section and to sell as many Tattlers as possible. In the fall the business staff brings in ads and sells Tattlers. In the winter ad copy is prepared and name cards are sold to seniors. In the spring Tattlers are de- livered and unpaid ads are collected. All the school year continuous publicity for the campaign contributes much to the success of the total result. BUuk di ecU teackeM, ixudiiie- .

The Niles High School Usher Club was organized by and is sponsored by Joseph Whit- wam to provide ushering service for all school functions and civic events or programs. The twenty-one picked girls (seven from each Senior High class) are always willing to serve where their services will be helpful to the programs offered. Members for Ushers Club are chosen on the basis of dependability, neatness in appearance, and scholarship. During this year the Ushers have worked at thirty-five school events and ten civic events.

This year ' s Junior play (under the direction of Mr. William Potts), A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur ' s Court, was somewhat different from the ordinary draw- ing-room comedy. Based on Mark Twain ' s book of the same name, the fantasy spoofed both ancient and modern times and ways. The Yankee, a young graduate engineer, was trans- ported from the present day back to King Arthur ' s time, and nearly all the action takes place in the main hall of the castle at Camelot.

Over 275 persons were turned away from the second performance of the 1958 Variety Show, because of a complete sell-out. There were several unique and oustanding features which made the show a tremendous success. The 1958 production used more scenery than has ever been used in any of the previous productions. Most of the scenery was of the modern sug- gestive type. Since there were scenes on the planet Mars, scenes from Kurt Weill ' s musical drama Down in the Valley , a New York night club scene, and 4 scen es of a small mid-western town which depict life on Earth in America dur- ing the 4 seasons of the year, there was a variety of costumes. The whole production was under the direction of Mr. George Flora, choral di- rector, with the help of the student directors, Dennis Moore and Tom Raschel. There were approximately 40 different lighting effects which highlighted the biggest production ever put out by the Niles Senior High School Vocal Music Department. 86 In IpectaaulGA, Variety EUou Choir members stand in the background while Marilyn Tonkin, Jennie Parsons; and Jim Rossow, Brack Weaver; go through a scene from Down In The Valley.

The victory with the largest number of points was the 31-6 decision over Wash. Clay on the home gridiron. This was due to good defensive plays along with an occasional strong offense. One of the most rugged games was against Goshen which ended with a 0-0 tie, thanks to Niles strong defense. The most unhappy outcome came in the first week of November when we lost 26-0 to Grand Haven in the Niles Homecoming game. This loss was due to a weak offense, a defensive collapse in the second half, and the best game the Bucs had played up to that time. Coach Terry Carey is looking towards a bright future because the varsity has 31 juniors and 4 sophomores while only 17 seniors are leaving. Three players, Charles Curtis, Terry Linville, and Jerry Wingeart, were voted by the coaches of the Big Four on the All-Conference squad.

A respectable showing in both invitational meets at Hastings and Albion makes the prospects bright for next year. Seven seniors will be leaving including team captain Henry Hasse, but eight good boys are returning next year. Henry Hasse is leading the field for Niles. j£j 4 4 i « to tW Front row: Tom Guyott, Bob Blair, Dick Mack, Tom Harmon, Ebenezer Spencer, Duane Wickstrom.

Bob Leets fires a jump shot from front court against St. Joseph. The 1957-58 varsity improved upon the record of last year. In the Big Four Conference Niles split the season three wins and three losses. The most thrilling game of the season probably was the overtime victory over Dowagiac. Although the Vikings suffered a losing season, the future looks bright with most of this year ' s team re- turning. Out of the starting five Captain Nor- man Frucci maintained the highest scoring and rebounding average. Ocie Mitchell drives in to score in final home game with Buchanan. Q .
