New Trier High School

So talk about how, h- how's the reaction been?

Um, first you can see the film or the, or the screening option at whiteguiltfilm.com. And um, we have some screening probably coming later to New York, and we do, um, LA, and we also have, uh, one in Chicago at, uh, New Trier High School.

Yep.

Um, a couple of kids were, you know, were not satisfied with their American, um, educat- uh, history class.

They're really not.

But Rahm Emanuel, uh, of the Obama administration and, and, uh, New Trier High School on the North Shore of Illinois.

Uh, Rahm Emanuel was on Meet the Press with Kristen or Kirsten Welker, whichever she is.

And, um, you know, they've got a terrorist there running, Abdul El-Sayed.

Right

... and set 'em I feel like at my high school, which was New Trier High School in Winnetka.

And so that was our, like, our life, man.

Our life was made valid by the fact that the Glencoe Beach was in Ferris Bueller.

Correct order, correct spelling.

First song featured in this episode is You're Not Gonna Get It by the American power pop and punk band Epicycles, which was formed in 1977 by students of New Trier High School in Chicago, which was active between 1977 and 1981.

That song was playing when Max and Nikki are selling the obviously sus glowing flowers at school.

Imagine being alive in 1977 or 81.

Yeah, that's fair.

Now, she graduated from New Trier High School and attended Tulane University in 2020 to study public health with no plan of doing anything in music.

So that's six years ago.

Right.

And it's so lovely when that happens.

We just had the best time because he was Ian's general manager at WNTH, which is the radio station for Nutrier High School.

So it was set up like a true radio station, and this man was his boss.

It was so wonderful to be around him because I could just... feel Ian just because it's just they grew up together they're from the same neighborhood and it was just the loveliest loveliest lunch I never go to lunch but I came home and I was like oh I just felt um I just felt so happy and I walked into my apartment and I went into my bedroom and through an access panel I Gallons and gallons of water were coming down through the access panel.

Got a 16mm when he was a teenager.

And got lucky because at his Nutrier High School in Mass Communications, his teacher, Kevin Dole, was already making his own music videos in the 1970s.

And Romanek...

Kind of studied under him.

Glencoe, yes.

Yes, I met my husband at New Trier High School.

Ah, yes.

In fact, I'm going to be back in Glencoe for the first time in a long time next week because it is my middle school reunion.
