THE CLASSIEST” HIGH SCHOOL Niles West, what a school! It has certain uniqueness to it. I suppose you can say it has a style all its own. But when you actually think about it, it’s the students and teachers that make West the extraordinary school it is. Without them, who would make arrangements for dances or plan activities and fundraisers? Who would see to it that the year is a challenging and prosperous one, yet also fun and exciting? Looking back at some of the many memorable events that made Niles West the ’’classiest” high school, we can smile at all the good times we had and shared with others. Who could forget Friday Night Bashes, senior Hawaiin Day, the Niles West Gong Show, Homecoming week contests, and the faculty Christmas carol perfor¬ mance? These and many others added on to West’s description of ’’classy.” Then, of course, there are certain features found only in Niles West that add a special touch of style to the school. The pictures found in the hallway remind us of Indian victories, special events, and wild ’n’ crazy times. The ’’seniors only” section of the cafeteria, the electri¬ cal message board, and, of course, the pink hallways are sights to be seen in no other school. Last, but never least, the athletes, c heerleades, pom pon girls, Midnight Riders and Indian mascot. They’re cre¬ ative, outgoing, and most of all. they keep that Indian spirit soaring! So you see, no matter how you look at it, Niles West is, and always will be, the classiest” high school! -Estelle Nikolakakis ’89 Seniors Julie DiModica and Joe Lochner enjoy their reign of Homecoming Qi King. 1986.
