Afterwords

Poor Communication Results In Unnecessary Confusion Everybody talks about it, but nobody does much.

We believe this statement is applicable to relations among the student body, student leaders, and the Administration. Unnecessary confusion has resulted from misunderstandings among the three groups.

From the students we hear: ''How come the students were never informed about this year's election plan until after it was passed? Our SC reporter came in only to tell us that it was passed. Don't the students have anything to say?

"And why were the election demonstrations so strictly censored? All I wanted to wear was a sweatshirt with cutoff sleeves, and I was told that I couldn't. The reason?

Everyone else will see my sweatshirt, and they'll 'start cutting off their sleeves too.' " From Dr. Clyde Watson, principal, we hear: "At the beginning of the year I met with representatives of the Student Council and suggested that representatives of the student body and Administration meet regularly to discuss common problems. I would be more

than willing to discuss any problem with any student group or representatives."

From Council we hear: "All we ever get are complaints or rejections. Students complain-but that's all.

And we've got our hands tied by the Administration. Under these circumstances how mucl:}. does everyone think we can accomplish?"

If the Administration has an open-door policy, if the student leaders have tried their hardest to answer student problems, if these leaders have reported their solutions to homerooms, then no problem should exist. But one obviously does. Somewhere along the line communications have been cut.

If communications do not improve, we suggest that Student Council hold a meeting with representatives from student body, Council members, and administrators to determine where the problem does lie. An exchange of ideas should define the problem more clearly.

Communications are essential for a smoothly functioning school.

Backw¡ords

C.o nvention System Fails To the Students: A moment of silence, please.

A New Tradition has been established. A New System has come into being.

Maine South's first convention assembly for nominating candidates for Student Council president and secretary was held last Friday. At best it was dull. At worst it was an embarrassing attempt at pageantry.

What the convention system did, in effect, was to eliminate two of the candidates for president. Under the previous system this would have been done by a primary in which all students could vote. Under the convention system it was done by 160 delegates.

The advantage of the convention system is supposed to be this: a five-minute speech is no basis for judging a candidate; "Meet Your Candidate" sessions would allow give-andtake between delegates and candidates. Therefore delegates would make an intelligent ch".lice. . Theory, Reality Differ Fine-theoretically. It seems likely, however, that most delegates had their minds made up before they were chosen. Many, in fact, were elected on the basis of their promise to vote for so-and-so. Hence the convention system failed to achieve its primary objective-a selection of candidates based on information.

If this were the only flaw in the convention system, there would be no need for comment.

For then it would have merely failed to achieve what could probably not be achieved in any case. But there are other counts against it.

With its many meetings and caucuses it is no more efficient than elimination by general vote and is certainly not as democratic. But still more important, it introduces the possibility that voting in the elimination will influence the general voting of yesterday and today. . . . Results Not Secret Though the number of homerooms that voted for each candidate was not officially announced, the results have traveled fast. One hundred sixty people cannot keep the secret very well. No doubt some will prefer to vote for the candidate that was more popular in the homeroom delegation vote.

Finally, the system is based

on a wrongheaded parallel between SC elections and national politics. Probably elimination of candidates by a general vote would not be feasible on the national level. Perhaps, then, there is some justification for the convention system in national politics. But for an SC election there can be none.

Members. Attend Bus. Convention Business Club is sending 15 of its members to a Business Education Conference on Thursday, April 8, at the Conrad llilton Hotel.

In the morning members will attend a speech dealing with opportunities and requirements for business careers.

After lunch, they will be treated to a showing of all the latest office machines and equipment.

Oh, Misery of It All !

Misery is: Opening your lunch bag and seeing that your mother gave you a regular egg instead of a hard-boiled one Getting to school in a snow blizzard when no one else bothered to come Forgetting to bring your shoes to school .and having to walk around school all day with your boots on Keeping a closed-reserve book overdue for one day and finding that the fine is 50 cents Having the fire drill •r ing in 20-below-zero weather when you have swimming, and you're in the pool Eating fish on Friday and

Student Creativity Q,bvious, i~ Excuses On mornings typical of the weather we've been having, students wage war against the elements. When they arrive at school one-half to two hours late, they give such excuses as the following: We had to shovel our car out of a drift and help our stalled neighbors; our car wouldn't start; and our car slid off the road and I had to walk.

To break the monotony, one boy said, "My muffler fell off, and I had to walk to the station."

Unfortunately, in this weather, these excuses are usually true. Students driving, however, must anticipate the driving hazards and plan their time accordingly.

Many students arriving late consider these "excuses" highly original: our electricity went off and our alarm clock stopped; I didn't hear the alarm clock (Come now, students, we credit you with better imaginations! ) ; and I had to stay home with my sick little brother ( One

student g1vmg this excuse was an only child).

Other ingenious excuses are: we had California relatives visiting us. I stayed up so late that I overslept (actually, I didn't get my theme finished and didn't study for my test); and when I awoke, I had a temperature. Later on, I felt better so I came to school. (In other words, Mom discovered I was faking and forced me to come.)

One student, on being questioned why he didn't stay for a detention, answered, "I had to hurry home to look after my neighbor's daughter."

"How old is the girl," he was asked.

"Seventeen."

March Musings

Listening to student excuses for absences can be an interesting experience. Mrs. Chakoian (standing) and Mrs. Coughlan must treat each call with carefully weighed judgement.

Teachers' Club Elects President Mary Fisher, '66, was elected as next year's Future Teachers' Club president at a meeting Wednesday, March 17. Betty Jo Fiedler, '65, and Judy Loboda, '65, will attend the Illinois-State Future Teachers' Convention at Decatur on April 2 and 3.

Mary, as president-elect, is enthusiastic over prospects of special events in the forthcoming year.

Next October 16 Maine South Future Teachers Association will

host the fall workshop of Region 7, which includes many of the high schools in Cook, Lake, and DuPage counties.

Th.is year's regular activities will also be continued next year.

These include enabling members to earn points by helping teachers correct tests. If a member shows a special interest in a particular field, such as English, efforts are made to assign that person to an English teacher.

Sue Tessaro, Barb Kent, '65 Whose school this is, I think I know.

They',r e home snug in their houses, though.

They will not see us suffering here, Watching the cars get buried in snow.

Believe me, we all think it's queer When no other school is opened near, And roads are covered with snow and sleet And snowfall is heaviest of the year.

We really don't think it's much of a treat To go out in the snow, our teachers to meet, To sit in our classes and freeze and shake To take a test that means defeat.

To our lockers we run, a bus to make, To catch it in front of the snow-covered lake.

It's crowded and wet, and we stand all the way, A perfect ending to a horrible day.

Big 'O' Costumes Mirror 1965 Fashion Look Swooping brims, c h e c k e d ginghams, lined capes, cowboy belts, ruffled shirts, and hipster pants will be the "new look" for spring fashions; costuming in Oklahoma! will resemble them.

Presented by the Music Department and Music Boosters on April 29, 30 and May 1, 2 the musical will feature costumes and scenery designed by Mr. Ted Nesteby.

"The costuming," commented Mr. Nesteby, "poses interesting

problems in design and color.

We want to give the perennially-popular musical the 1965 look."

Because current trends in style and color are reverting to the type of clothing worn at the turn of the century in Indian territory, which is the setting of the play, Mr. Nesteby is studying them as well as doing research into the period.

"All the costomes are completely new," Mr. Neste by added. "They never have been,

Sigma Chi Sigma Relates Plans To Aid Appalachia Dr. Earl Wiltse and Ray Hilgermann, president of Sigma Chi Sigma, jointly announced plans for a school-wide book drive to collect 1,000 books to be serit to Appalachia.

Maine's efforts to collect books to be distributed to rural children in the economically-depressed Appalachia region will be part of a national drive to collect 1 million books sponsored by the National Congress of Parents and Teachers. Working with this group is R. Sargent Shriver, director of the Office of Economic Opportunity.

The drive will end on April 9.

Betty Parkhurst will aid Ray in the organization and completion of the project. Betty outlined the procedure which shall be followed during the drive.

Starting next Monday students may bring books which they no longer have use for and that are in good condition to C-117, which will be the headquarters of the drive . Later in the week homeroom areas will be designated

Dept. Announces U.S. History, Constitution Test . . . "Spring is The time for all Maine South history scholars to exploit their knowledge .of the United States Constitution and American history.

Mr . Otto Kohler, Social Science Department Chairman, has announced that the U.S. Constitution Test, sponsored by history teachers and the Park Ridge American Legion , will be offered April 22.

The Best American History Scholar Test, sponsored by department teachers, will be given toward the end of May. The United States Constitution Test consists of two parts, a written objective test which will be followed by an oral examination on May 6. Only those scoring highest on the hour-long written review will be permitted to take the oral test. . . . All Students Eligible The test is open to all students currently enrolled in a social science or history class . Registration must take place through students' individual history teachers .

Awards for the U.S. Constitution Test include a $300 scholarship for first prize and a second prize of $150.

The second test, the Best American History Scholar Test, will be given in May and is also open to only those currently enrolled in United States History.

This objective and essay test (for high scorers on the objective test) has been compiled by history department teachers.

The award is a $50 scholarship.

"This system of testing is a composit of the best ideas from both Maine East and West," ¡ explained Mr. Kohler referring to the essay test.

as depositories. After the drive has ended, the local PTC will see that the Railway Express Agency picks up the books and ship them to Louisville, Kentucky. The REA has agreed t ship SO-pound boxes for $1.95.

From Louisville , the books will be shipped to Barbousville, 11..entucky, where members of the Appalachian Volunteers will store the books.

Later the books will be distributed in the rural areas.

Dr. Wiltse first mentioned the possibility of Maine South participation in the nation-wide drive after he talked with the president of the National Congress of Parents and Teachers in Atlantic City, New Jersey .

At a meeting with Sigma Chi Sigma, Dr. Wiltse's suggestion was accepted by the officers of the society. " Sigma Chi Sigma hopes to reach its goal of 1,000 books with the co-operation of all the students of Maine South," commented Ray. "Sigma Chi Sigma shall keep the project in front of the students in order to remind students it is the duty of the more fortunate to help the less fortunate . I envision that homeroom competition will stimulate student participation."

The book drive is one of the many projects Sigma Chi Sigma has taken over this year . Sigma Chi Sigma members are presently working on the production of slides and narrated tapes to be sent to Sweden when our AFS student, Karl Franson, leaves the United States. Most

nor will be again, used for such a production." . . . Surrey Authentic Several interesting details of the play have been revealed.

The surrey is authentic. "A real surrey is difficult to find," emphasized Mr. Nesteby. "Most such antiques are buggies."

The shutters on Aunt Eller's house are from the oldest hotel in Chicago. An idea for corn "high as an elephant's eye" came from a Japanese painting in the Art Institute.

By profession Mr. Nesteby is a substitute speech and English teacher, but has had a longtime interest in costume and set design. He has studied design at the University of Minnesota , Northwestern University, and the University of Chicago.

His last project was costuming the cast for My Fair Lady at the Tenthouse theater in Highland Park last summer. He also worked on Agnes deMilles' production of the ballet, "Rodeo. "

Prom Features Southern Theme Cotton Ball, the Junior Prom, will be held May 15, from 8:30 to 11 :30 p.m. in the Spectator Gym . Entertainment will be provided by Lane Emery and his band.

A king and queen will be chosen by vote at the prom from those junior couples attending.

In keeping with the Southern plantation theme, the decorations committee plans to array the gym as a ballroom. Ideas include separating the gym into two sections, one a ballroom and the other a terrace, or using the gym as one large gold and white hall.

Betty Paulauskas , '66, is chairman of the decorations committee.

Heading the bids committee is Kathy Williams, '66, with Barb Schutz, '66, and Kris Anderson, '66, taking charge of refreshments.

Junior Class President Sandy Guzzetta says, " Positions for work on the prom have been open for any members of the class, not only those on council. We have received much cooperation from the kids and if they continue to work as they have, the prom should be a great success."

Oklahoma cowgirl Bonnie Burderus, as Ado Annie, whoops through "I'm just a girl who can't say no."

Counselor Aids Job Aspirants Mrs. Helen Stuart, Career Counselor, expects that requests for part-time and full-time job workers will start arriving at Maine South about April 20 .

She indicated that job placement this year will consist of part-time summer jobs, fulltime summer jobs, and permanent employment for graduating seniors not planning to continue their education.

As these jobs become available, they will be announced in the Daily Bulletin so that interviews may follow immediaely.

Before being interviewed for a position, Mrs . Stuart will counsel on position qualifications and interview techniques .

will teach the courses, met with applicants for the course on Tuesday , March 6, after school to discuss the courses with them and to explain what will be expected of them next year .

Business Data Processing em phasizes a knowledge of unitrecord equipment and the principles of application of systems in solving business problems .

Included are systems for handling paper work, flow charting, coding, card layout, panel-board wiring , and an introduction to computer and other data processing equipment.

In the application of unit-record principles , supplementary reports important to - management will also be studied. Students will create a series of problems , define them, prepare coding and card layouts, and process each one on unit-record equipment.

This single-unit course is open to any junior or senior with a C average. ... Teaches Computer Principles Computer Programming will provide students with a good understanding of the principles of computer programming and computer operations. Students will learn about computer equipment-input-output devices and

other hardware-number system s, flow charting, coding on cards and tape, and storage including core, drum , and disk .

Cobol , machine language , will be introduced in addition to other programming systems.

This course is one-half unit and is open to juniors and seniors with above-average scholastic ability . . . . Response Is Good Mr . Oliver Brown, head of the Business Education Department, estimated that only one per cent of the high schools in the country offer courses similar to these. The response to these courses was very encouraging.

More students have applied than facilities provided for, so that many were eliminated by grades and other tests .

Tests Given May 1 SAT, Scholastic Aptitude Test, will be given at South on the morning of May 1 from 8 a.m. till noon.

College Board Achievement Tests in individual subjects will be given from 1 to 5 p.m. on May 1. These tests are for students who wish to try for advanced-college placement in various areas.

They are backed up by alternate Lee Mortenson, who will also do an exclusive report for South words.

Accompanying the five debaters will be Mr. William C. Hoag and Mr . Gerhard Rempel, co-debate coaches, and Miss Sandra McChesney, Individual Events Coach. Mr. Haag's main task will be, as Mr. Rempel described it, "coaching and part-time cheerleaders." Miss McChesney's purpose for accompanying the team downstate will be to observe the Individual Events contestants so she will be better able to direct her next year's team. . . . Elimination Rounds Friday Friday morning at 8 a.m. is the tentative time for the team's departure. The four elimination rounds will be Friday afternoon with a fifth play-off round Saturday afternoon.

As the day of the debates draws nearer, more and more practice debates will be held to get the debaters in shape for the downstate fight. As Mr. Rempel stated, "We're going to work these guys like they never worked before."

"It will be no child's play.

We will be up against the 30 top teams in the state, some with high caliber programs, over a hundred people out for debate, and over $6,000 budgets," said Mr. Hoag.

Cindermen Run in Oak Park Relays Tomorrow The varsity track squad will travel to Oak Park tomorrow to compete in the important Oak Park Relays. The relays, often termed as the " indoor state meet, " will feature top competition from Illinois.

In the Des Plaines Valley League Indoor Meet held at Morton West two weeks ago, the Hawks finished third behind Morton West and Proviso West The highlight of the meet was the national indoor record-breaking half-mile run of Senior Larry Kelly, Kelly ran a great 1:52.0 to extend his list of national records to four.

Senior Jim Brandon captured the only other first place for Maine South as he won the conference championship in the broad jump with a leap of 20 feet 8112 inches.

Doug Macomber captured two places as he finished second in the pole vault with a fine vault of 13 feet 6 inches ~nd placed third in the 50-yard dash.

Other individuals who placed in the meet for the Hawks were Phil McCullough, fourth in the quarter-mile ; Gordon Williams, fourth in the high jump; and Marty Johnson, fifth in the broad jump.

Netmen Start First Year Playing on New Courts The varsity tennis team has started practice under the direction of Coach Leslie Kent.

The squad will work out and hold their home meets on the ten beautiful new courts located just south of the school building.

The team is well supplied with experienced players , six lettermen having transferred from Maine East. The six returning lettermen, all seniors, are John Healy, Harold Masoncup, Jeff Phillips, Rick Ricketts, Paul Schuwerk, and Jeff Swander.

The squad 's first competition will be in a quadrangular meet at Lyons on April 3. In conference competition the roughest plays will probably come from Willowbrook, Palatine, and Niles West. The squad feels that

their chances are good for a conference crown.

Senior Paul Schuwerk, who lettered his sophomore year, will be returning to play first singles. Harold Masoncup will probably play second singles with Jeff Swander at third .

The first and second doubles teams will consist of Jeff Phillips, Rick Ricketts, and John Healy along with one of several boys trying out for a doubles spot.

Frosh-soph Coach Jon Cada will be working with several freshmen and sophomore boys with good potential. Sophomore Tom Beck, along with freshmen Mike Masoncup , Dave Flanagan, Don Lathrop, and Chris Hansen should serve as the backbone to the Hawk squad.

The frosh-soph finished fifth in the conference meet as Proviso West easily captured top honors.

Tomorrow's big meet will conclude the indoor season for the Hawks. After a two-week layoff from competition, the Hawks will resume action on Tuesday, April 13, traveling to West Leyden for their outdoor season opener.

Senior trackman Larry Kelly is the holder of the national, indoor half-mile mark.

First Baseball Team Starts Practice in Spectator Gym The last of the "big three" major sports here at South has gotten underway . Our first baseball team began practicing 3 weeks ago under the leadership of Coaches Glen Van Proyen and George Verber.

Coach Van Proyen, who comes to South from a successful term pf coaching, and Verber, in his first year of teaching , have five lettermen on this year's team.

Bill Sanders, Eric Zinsmeister, Jim Yrigoyen, Dick Bigelow, and Larry Wiseburn all played for Van Proyen last year at Maine East.

Nineteen boys have thus far made the team ; along with Sanders, Zinsmeister, Yrigoyen, Bigelow, and Wiseburn, there are Dave Strom, Rick Kilinski, John Spiggos, Tom Kersten,

Bob Holz, Ron Dell, Renny Smith, Dick Hood , Larry Glaug, Russ Gias, Tom Dewar, Auggie Matezzel, Carlos Maningas, and Chuck Coad.

Coach Van Proyen told Southwords that "I think that this team now working out has the talent and ability to continue the winning tradit,ion of baseball teams in Maine Township ." . . . Predicts 'Success The return of five outstanding lettermen bolstered by numerous junior standouts should make us the favorite in the Des Plaines Valley League . I will be surprised if we do not win the championship and do well in post-league play ; of cours¡e my saying so doesn't conclude the season ; we understand that we have to play the games one at a time. " The team has been practicing

in the Spectator Gym but will soon move outdoors to the Edison School practice area. The team will be playing their games at Edison, also. . . . Glenbrook Is First The team's first contest will be played against Glenbrook South on April 6 at Glenbrook.

The Glenbrook game will be the first of four non-conference games the Hawks will play along with fourteen conference firsts . Two of the tougher games should be with Niles West. Niles West went downstate in baseball last year and lost the championship game to Springfield Griffin .

All in all South sports fans should be able to look forward to a baseball season as successful as the seasons our basketball players, swimmers, and footballers had .

Hawk Tawk

Hawkman Picks All-Star Tearn

By Lee Kaufmann Oh, all you baseball fans, it's almost that time of year again!

The crack of the bat, the thrill of a home run, the booing of umpires. Yes, it's spring again, when every young lad's heart turns to baseball. Especially those lads who have been hit on the head by wildly thrown bats.

One of the favorite pastimes of baseball fans is picking allstar teams . Everyone _has his favorite player who is the best in the league and should be an All-Star. With typical sports staff thoroughness and desire to be ahead of the times, I have compiled my list of baseball all-stars. I'm sure ¡ everyone will agree with me that these boys are the best baseball has to offer.

Catcher Behind Plate I'll start with that little guy who sits behind home plate catching foul balls between his teeth, the catcher. At this spot I've picked that great old man of baseball, Lew "Backstop"

Bailey. Old Lew (or "Lewwy" as he was known to the fans) was the only catcher in baseball to hit an umpire with a flying face mask 37 times in one game ... and live to tell about it.

Next we have Stanley "Babe" Mankowski on the pitcher's mound. Babe had a 23 and 1 record last year until he tripped over the rubber fielding a foul ball and broke his pitching arm .

Tough break, Babe.

Over at first base we find Elmer "Lefty" Grouber, who gives the team punch. Also soft drinks, lemonade, etc., since he also runs a small combination fish market and soda fountain in the off season. Lefty is the hitter on the team. He hit four umpires, an usher, and six fans in one game last season. He should work off his fines in another 10 or 12 years. . . . Second Sacker We've got old Fred Kreel as second sacker. He's been a "sacker" since he chosen to wear an old potato sack instead

of the green and orange uniform of his teammates.

At shortstop is the fastest double-play man in baseball, Charlie Twonah, a real slippery guy. He was sidelined last year after scooping up a hot grounder at deep short, stepping on second, turning in mid-air and pegging hls glove to the first baseman.

Rounding out the infield is the most deceptive player in the game, Wallace "Phony" Graph, whose record speaks for itself.

Out in the outfield we find a family trio of stars, The Legz brothers, Peg, Daddylong, and Harry. These three distinguished themselves last season by being the only outfield to buy their own baseball park and build a three-hundred-foot wall around the infield.

This is my team. Nine great players! They will be in the Hall of Fame any year now (that's the Pick-up-Stix Hall of Fame, unfortunately). Ah, spring is here.
