Our O. rojan A. L. Biehn, Superintendent The leader of the Trojans, Dr. A. L. Biehn, has the challenging task of guiding high school students through these perilous times. His prime interest is in education for victory—victory in winning the war, in winning the peace, and in establishing democratic ideals throughout the world. The educational program at N.T.H.S. has been developed to train us to understand and to follow the prin¬ ciples on which our country was established. We appreciate Dr. Biehn’s ceaseless efforts in this direction. 5

Peter Kluesing Niles Ivan Paroubek Skokie The Trojans of old believed that the destiny of their lives was shaped by the chance will of many gods and goddesses—some friendly, some not. We Trojans of Nilehi are more fortunate! Five people—all united in a friendly, helpful interest—are elected to direct the destiny of N. T. H. S. The people of the township have entrusted to these five representatives the responsibility of providing the best educational opportunities so that, like the men of Troy, we modern Trojans may become “scholarly, brave, and true.” 4
