Once in a while a quesTion arises. and someone knowing The TacTs Tries To answer iT. Here is a brieT summary oT my answer To a very imporTanT and appropri- aTe quesTion. Why do we publish a school paper? ' l believe ThaT our school publicaTion acTs as a microphone. LeT The sTudenT speak in unmisTakable Tones abouT our civic aTTairs and responsibiliTies. and The school ioins in uniTy. Our school is diTTerenT in cerTain ways Trom oThers. Our school magazine Tells abouT iT. NilesTones is our log. showing our bearing and degrees and our course Tor The TuTure. ConsTrucTive criTicism is The giTT oT The ages, and NilesTones is The home oT This Type oT criTicism. lT also is The place where we express ourselves. This Thing remembrance is wonderful, and you who have sTill kepT NilesTones will have Tun in recollecTion. . V NilesTones Tells oT our Tears. our laughs, our greeTings and Tarewells. IT Tells oT our known. our honored, our TalenTed,' and in shorT oT you and me. l ' BERT WESTMAN. 9AI MR.CONROY This is a TribuTe.

A robusT man enTered The audiTorium oT The shining new school building one sunny SepTember morning in l939. As he crossed The Threshold heads Turned and a hush Tell over The room, and as his worde echoed Through The audiTorium They ThoughT. Why he sounds nice! And he was nice. Perhaps iT was his greaT sense oT humor or The way he ambled inTo rooms during lessons ThaT made him respecTed and liked by even The Toughies . Conroy? They'd say. swell guy!

ARNOLD KARSCH. 9BR - 4 .. AN INTERVIEW WITH MISS WATERS , Ever since Mr. Conroy IeTT our school in OcTober, Miss WaTers has had The Tremendous job and res onsibiIiTy oT running P.S. II8. Everyone knows and can well be assured ThaT her lgadershi was a greaT success. Her success was due To The TacT ThaT she is a very kind. inTell-igenT. and mosT imporTanT of all an undersTanding person. She is e Triend To all and assisTs in all possible aid she can give. Miss WaTers abiliTy To undersTand children is a TacTor which sTands ouT above all oTher Things. She Tries To undersTand each chilcI's inTeresT and guides him along a paTh which will lead To his aims in The TuTure. On Thursday. May 4. I was a very TorTunaTe person, Tor I was given The assign- menT of inTerviewing our AssociaTe Principal Miss WaTers. As I neared her oTIice on The TourTh Tloor my hearT Thumped very loudly Tor l. a reporTer of NilesTones. was To have an inTerview wiTh a very disTinguished person in Niles Junior High School. When I enTered her oTIice all Tear and TrighT quickly IeTT me and a raTher Triendly feeling sprang up beTween us. as I explained whaT may mission was. ' I only s oke To her Tor a very IiTTIe while, buT in Those Tew momenTs I realized whaT a Tine Eaader P.S. II8 has. One oT The quesTions which I asked her was. How did you Teel being principal oT II8? Well, she answered. iT was one of The mosT inTeresTing Terms I ever experi- enced. Being acTing principal Tor a Tew monlrhs was very enjoyable, Though a greaT responsibiliTy. ' I . I was worried when The school was broken inTo Three Times.-buT relieved when The culpriTs were Tound To be Trom anoTher school. I should also like To Thank The TaculTy and The greaTer parT oT The sTudenTs Tor Their wonderTuI cooperaTion. While being principal, I had The able assisTance oT Mrs. McDacIe Tor which I am very graTeTul ancl appreciaTive. Now ThaT our new principal Mr. Flaum has arrived. I am glad To be back in my old olifice on The TourTh floor. We can all be proud oT Miss WaTers who deserves crediT Tor being an able leader in our school. She has done a wonderTul iob and on behalT oT The sTudenTs oT II8. I should like To Thank her very much. I DOROTHY APPEL, 9BR MRS. McDADE g When Mrs. McDacle leTT our school lasT April The pupils oT II8 had a greaT loss. and The pupils oT II8 had a greaT gain. . I sTiII remember The air she always had abouT her. IT was an air oT digniTy and Tirmness, yeT iT had a Touch oT kindness in iT. Mrs. McDacIe always 'found Time in her busy day To go over The problems of The pupils. She also did all she could To help The war eTTorT. When we were making ChrisTmas packages Tor The boys in The service, Mrs. McDade was righT in There piTching. I am sure ThaT all The oTher pupils of I I8 will ioin me in wishing you good uck. Mrs. McDade. and remember good old II8. I IRVING MANDELBLIT. 9BR -5... ' MRS. F'ERRAlOLl When I TirsT learned ThaT Mrs. Ferraioli was To leave our school aT The end oT This Term. I was surprised and sorry To hear This news. Because she is one oT our besT and nicesT Teachers, all oT us will regreT her de arTure. Having had Mrs. Ferraioli Tor Two Terms Tor ariThmeTic. I know and The oTTier sTudenTs who have had Mrs. Ferraioli know ThaT her leaving our school will mean one Tine Teacher gone. I Think ThaT even if anoTher Teacher comes To Till her vacancy. she will noT be able To Take The place oT Mrs. xFerraioli. All I can say Tor myself and Tor The resT oT The sTudenTs is We're sorry ou're leaving, Mrs. Ferraioli. Wherever you go and whaTever you do. 'Good Luck! To Youl' . ES-I-HER MELAMED 7BR MRS. O'HORA AlThough imporTanT people wiTh high posiTions usually are The ones abouT whom The eulogies are wriTTen, I Think Mrs. C'Hora deserves To be wriTTen up, noT because oT The prominence and imporTance oT her posiTion, buT because oT her Tine characTer. Though having known her Tor only a year, I Teel highly iusTiTied in raising Mrs. O'Hora, Tor as any oTher oT her pupils would agree. iT Took much less Time Than ThaT To like her. The ouTsTanding Thing abouT her was her abiliTy To lisTen To and undersTand pupils. and many was The Time I was saved Trom The secTion book because oT Mrs. O'Hora's grace. Being a devouT person she mosT hearTily believed in righTeousness and was no incompeTenT soTTie. The inTeresT which she .puT inTo her pupils was in iTselT amazing. I remember The Time when The TaTher oT one oT our classmaTes passed awa . ThaT whole aTTernoon Mrs. O'Hora devoTed To The Teaching oT how To aTTend all kinds oT Tunerals. CaTholic, Jewish. and ProTesTanT. When she walked ouT oT our school P.S. II8 losT a Teacher. a lady. and a Iover oT humaniTy.

A TribuTe To one so Tine ThaT he will noT be TorgoTTen easily. His memory shall live on as The IaTe William Niles aTTer whom The school was named. We are giving The Tollowing deTails'Tor The beneTiT oT all The children who have wondered why our school is so named. Mr. Niles was born in The Bronx and lived aT his TaTher's esTaTe aT Bainbridge Avenue and 204Th STreeT. l.aTer in IiTe, he was hailed as a greaT civic leader and an ouTsTanding ciTizen. ATTer his marriage, he conTinued To live aT The Niles EsTaTe. In The year l9l3. he was elecTed PresidenT oT The Bronx Board oT Trades and con- Tinued his wonderful work Tor The beneTiT oT The Bronx. Mr. Niles sponsored The work on The Bronx River Parkway. The ouTsTanding parT he Took in iT earned him The TiTle oT FaTher oT The Bronx River Parkway . ATTer his deaTh. a rnonumenT was erecTed To his memory aT 226Th STreeT and Bronx River Parkway. During November oT I937. The IaTe Dr. Harold G. Campbell.

One oT These is graduaTion. As we scan Through The memories oT The pasT. This experience has never yeT been overlooked. We Try To picTure The scene. an audiTorium wiTh rows oT seaTs. There's a murmur ThroughouT The room. Suddenly. as Though by some sTrange power, all is quieT. Your pulse quickens as The principal enTers The audiTorium. His TooTsTeps echo and seem To beaT inside your brain. As you anTicipaTed, he is sTanding beTore ou. You look up aT him and all Tenseness subsides. You are no longer rigid and TrighTened. You are relaxed and unaTraid. T He begins his Talk and you lisTen aTTenTively. He pauses and seems To look direcTly aT you. And Then he smiles, a smile you will never quiTe TorgeT. You sing The NaTional AnThem, your voice rising ioyously. Then The momenT you Teared Tor so many weeks arrives. IT is Time To receive your diploma. You're sure ThaT someThing dreadTul is going To happen. You can icTure yourselT Tripping across The sTage and landing headTirsT aT The principal's TJeeT. Oh! now you can Teel a liTTle dizziness coming upon you. You groan silenTly and whisper a liTTle prayer. ATTer 'whaT seemed like hours oT waiTing, your name is called. You sTep up and walk proudly across The plaTTorm. You receive your diploma. AT lasT! lT's all over. You see Mom and There are Tears in her eyes. Tears oT happiness. You've earned your reward aT lasT.

ANNA SEIF, 9BR -7- IN THE NIGHT The school was dark and sTilI. Everyone was sleeping. YeT one's mind wasn'T peaceful any more. IT was noT so easy To go To sleep any more. There was always The Threafening Thoughf of The disasfer ThaT nighf mighf bring. In one of The large dormiTories of The boarding school I was sleeping. Suddenly I woke up wiTh a sTarT. The shrill howling of The air raid sirens cuT like a knife T rough The peaceful sfillness of The nighf. I was noT The only one To awake. The whole building became alive suddenly. Everyfhing began To move. There was a grabbing of gas masks, shoes and coafs. There was someone puffing on someone else's shoes. AnoTher one walked inTo a door. The confusion was greaf because lighTs were noT allowed during a raid even Though The windows were carefully blacked ouT. In a flash I was ready To go. I raced down To The second floor. To The room where some IiTTIe five year olds had been assigned To my care. I called oTf The lisT. They were sfanding in a line quieTly. calmly. while I made sure everyone was There. In no Time we were on our way To The shelTer. We finally goT seTTled on The cold damp floor of This shelfer wiTh noThing buT a blankef for warmTh and comforf. There we lay. crowded TogeTher noT only To find warmTh and because There was noT much room. buf also To gain courage. Affer a while The rumbling sTarTed. The whole house seemed To be shaking. IT was geTTing nearer every minufe. IT sounded as if The whole school was collapsing buT Then iT was always ThaT way. we whispered To each oTher. The rumbling grew louder. In The disfance I could make ouT explosions. The rumbling seemed To be righf above us now. Fear was beginning To creep Through me. IT The ofhers were afraid, They cerfainly didn'T say so. My friends and I crouched wiTh our heads down on The floor as if Trying To proTecT ourselves from somefhing ThaT happened rarely, buT mighf happen now We knew The only Time a shelTer was demolished was when a bomb fell To The ground wiThouT exploding, rolled To The shelTer and Then blew iT, up. Who couIdn'T be sure This wouldn'T be ThaT one occasion. Suddenly we heard a loud crash. IT musT have been very near for This Time The shelfer really shook. IT was followed by several almosf as loucl. Then iT suddenly became very quief. The rumbling became fainfer and fainfer, unTil iT gradually sfopped alTogeTher. The raid was over. Very slowly I walked up To my dormifory. The room was in greaT disorder. The mirror broken. and ofher Things bacliy Thrown around. By The nexf morning no one spoke of iT. IT was iusT an incidenT in whaT was becoming our usual roufine. This is a True experience.

Many ol you have lalhers. brolhers and relalives in lhe service. You need no slimulus lo make sure lhal all our slrenglh be exerled in order lhal lhe war may end in complele viclory lor us al lhe earliesl possible lime. I hope you will nol be shocked loo much when I lell you lhal we have a considerable number ol unconscious saboleurs among us. A professional saboleur is an enemy who is engaged in lhe deslruclion ol our induslrial planls, equipmenl, power slalions and malerial necessary lo achieve viclory. I am nol, however, relerring lo lhal kind ol saboleur. The saboleurs I have in mind are called vandals. Their icy is lo break lhings lhal are eilher useful or ornamenlal. You see lhem in lhe slreels smashing bollles lo small bils in lhe palh ol passing aulomobiles. You see lhem breaking and delacing public and privale properly. No window is enlirely sale lrom lheir aclivi- lies. They are no respeclors olllowers. grass, shrubs. and lrees.

We were over aT The day room Iisfening To Kay Kyser and his band. Suddenly. The sound of some German Bomber fighTers filled our ears. We rushed To our posfs wiTh only one Thoughf in mind. My sTaTion was aT headquarTers. I rushed To my Typewrifer and did The reporTs ThaT were handed To me. I was Then ordered To The o+her side of The field wiTh some oTher fellows. One of The planes swooped down and fired from iTs nose. I was hiT in my wrisT and shoulder. The shoT sfunned me so ThaT I fell To The ground. To+alIy oblivious of everyfhing going on around me. One of my buddies picked me up and carried me To a FirsT Aid STaTion. My sfay IasTed Three days, and I hope iT will never be repeafed. I saw many wounded soldieg. Some were delirious and oThers were paTien+Iy awaifing Their Turn To be TreaTe . From There I was senT To an English General Hospifal. Here a surgeon in an American Auxiliary UniT operafed on me. I sTayed There abouT one monTh. during which Time. various movie sTars visifed us and puT on fine shows. The shows kepT up The morale of The men more Than anyfhing else excepT The mail from home.

One day one of The fellows goT a Ieffer from his wife ThaT said he was The fafher of a seven pound baby girl. He was so happy ThaT he Took a gang of seven of us To The PosT Exchange and Treafed us To chocolafe bars and whaT few cigareTTes we could geT. One day. a plane landed which was To carry The wounded To The coasT. I was among The IasT To geT aboard. None of The men from my old company wenT wiTh me. I was glad I was leaving. buT I knew I would miss some of The friends I had meT There. When we arrived aT The coasT. we boarded a Transporf. IT was one ship wiThouT a convoy. The voyage over was unevenTful. IT was a greaf day when The STaTue of Liberfy came inTo view. The meaning of whaT we were fighfing for showed more clearly Then. Than ever before. I realized iT when I was over There. buT noT as much as when I saw The STaTue of Liberfy.

IT Takes place beTore we had yeT enTered The war. The sTory is concerned wiTh KurT Mullur lPaul Lukasi his wiTe, Sara lBeTTe Davisl, and Their Three children who come as refugees To America. They reTurn To a large and gracious house in WashingTon, The home oT Sara's moTher. Fanny lSara's moTherl is a good hearTed woman. a prominenT social 'Figure in WashingTon's circles. AT The Time oT The Mullurs' reTurn Fanny has house guesTs. The CounT, a Roumanian Nobleman and his American wiTe. The CounT immediaTely spoTs KurT as someThing more Than iusT a reTugee . He Tishes Tor inTormaTion aT The Nazi Embassy, and Trom whaT he learns, he shrewdly deduces ThaT KurT is an Underground leader in Europe. When The Time comes Tor KurT To go back, The CounT ThreaTens To expose him To The Nazis unless KurT pays SI0,000 Tor his silence. IT is a melodramaTic siTuaTion and Lillian Hellman who wroTe The original play never Tails To Tell a Tense and crackling sTory. Somewhere near The beginning oT WaTch On The Rhine , The hero, KurT lvlullur is asked whaT his Trade is. He answers, l? l TighT againsT Fascism. ThaT is my Trade. IT may seem an easy reply: Tor Today. To quoTe Trom The picTure again, we are all anTi-TascisTs. Yes, his wiTe said. buT KurT works aT iT. ThaT is The diTTerence. WaTch On The Rhine is a noble picTure. IT is diTTiculT To wriTe abouT, because iT is so much beTTer Than anyThing l may wriTe oT iT. IT is a musT on your lisT.

Considering all These TacTors, This movie version is really excellenT. lTs casT was superb, including VicTor Jory as Oberon, Dick Powell as Lysander, James Cagney as BoTTom, Joe E.

Mickey Rooney, who was only TourTeen aT The Time The picTure was made, did a Tine iob as Puck. i-lis anTics TiT The parT perTecTly alihough his laugh, l believe, was highly overdone. The mechanicals which included PeTer Quince, Nick BoTTom, Francis FluTe. Snug, SnouT, and STarveling, supplied The comic relieT and comic iT surely was. Much oT Shakespeare's original TexT was omiTTed, buT whaT remained was usually given unchanged. l don'T believe ThaT Dick Powell did as well as possible in The role oT Lysander. James Cagney, who played Nick BoTTom The Weaver, probably did The besT job in The enTire picTure, alThough his was noT so large a p-:rT as some as The oThers. UndoubTedly Joe E.

This is probably The TinesT dramaTizaTion oT This play ThaT ever has been produced. lT meriTs my hearTiesT recommendaTion. By all means see iT. A .

One oT The numbers on The program, a piano dueT called Bolero , was beauTiTully rendered by EsTelle l-lirschler and Leonore Goodman. Among The oTher numbers was a solo by KaThleen De Mario which we all enjoyed. ln The Evening by The MoonlighT, was sung by a Trio oT girls. The Harlequin Serenade was sung as a dueT. BoTh Tunes were lovely. The Boys' Chorus, noT To be ouTdone by The girls sang a group oT Two songs, The popular rousing March oT TheMuskeTeers and a SouTh American Ballad Flying Down To Rio. George BischoTT and AlTred GaeTa also sang solos. To end This perfecTly lovely program The enTire chorus sang Bambalina a TuneTul and lively air Trom The FireTly .
