According to Miss Sandelands, the old contrasted with the new as she traveled through northem, central, and southern India. Cows loped around the village roads, while bicycles and a few motorcycles raced down the city streets. Thatched houses were dwarfed by taller brick and plaster buildings in the city.

Miss Sandelands ate such traditional Indian fare as vegetables, wheat cakes, rice, and tea, although once in a while she even drank Coke.

Because of her fair skin, Miss Sandelands was often stared at as she shopped in open markets along the street. "I wore slacks or long dresses, so it was easier for me to blend in with the other people.

"Most Indians did not come up and talk to me as a rule, and I expected more hardships. Many of the Indians were dignified and hard-working," she said.

"One of the major hardships of the Indian people was that they still must depend upon monsoons for water in many places," Miss Sandelands noted.

"Much of Indna's electricity and water were rationed to just a few hours per day in many places," commented Miss Sande' lands.

Highlights of her trip included

traveling through a v i l l a g e where an anthropologist had been living.

Miss Sandelands also visited a private Delhi school. Teaching and school facilities. Miss Sandelands noted, were very poor; the average Indian's education was at the 6th grade level and Indian teachers were paid only $60 a month.

South Students Greet AFS Visitor, Giorgio Gregori

Giorgio Gregori caused a problem for Southwords. Reporters wanted to interview the Sept. 21, 1973 seventeen-year-old Italian AFS student, but he did not speak much English.

Fortunately, Mr. Arthur Piana of the language department acted as interpreter.

Giorgio's home is 17 miles north of Rome in central Italy.

He arrived in the United States six weeks ago and is now living in Park Ridge with the Wuehrmann family.

His first impressions of America are definite.

"Everything here is very different," Giorgio said in understandable English. ".All the dimensions are bigger. Buildings, cities, everything is bigger."

Maine South impressed him in the same way. Not only is South bigger than Giorgio's school in Italy, but team sports are offered here. In Italy sports are not played in the schools, but are supported by businesses and played professionally.

Giorgio's Italian school differs from his American school in more ways than one. In Italy, schools are more specialized. The curriculum prepares a student to learn how to earn a living. Giorgio is in a fiveyear pre-engineering course.

When he returns home, he has one more year to complete before continuing on to a university.

The pace of his Italian schooling is more leisurely than

India Charms History Teacher This summer, wiule many South teachers were at home relaxing with their families, history teacher Miss Shirley Sandelands was busy exploring the Ajantas, or ancient caves, in India. Miss Sandelands was chosen along with 25 other history teachers across the country to attend a summer history teachers seminar in India.

West will be presenting these .seminars.

Topics covered will include the Illinois Monetary .Award Program, the Illinois Guaran-

American schooling. He his classes six days a week from 8:30 to 1 p.m.

South's twenty minute lunch break is hard for Giorgio to adjust to. In Italy lunch is a large meal taking from one to three hours to eat.

American food tastes different to Giorgio. Women in Italy spend more time cooking instead of defrosting and heating frozen foods.

Though more ritual goes into Italian cooking, less goes into Italian dating. "Here it seems so formal," Giorgio observed.

"You have to meet the date's parents as if dating were serious. In Italy it is not so important. We go out informally alone or in groups just to have fun."

To Giorgio, American women seem curiously different from Italian. He has trouble telling an American's age. "Here women keep active longer," Giorgio commented. "They keep trim so that they look younger."

Despite all the differences between Italy and America, some similarities remain. American rock music is popular in Italy, the style of clothing is the same, and 16 is the legal age to drive.

Most Italian Ucenses are issued for motorcycles though because automobiles are too expensive to operate.

People who complain about the price of gasoline should remember — it costs $1.10 per gallon in Italy.

trip, .Mi>s Sandelands viewed such wonders as the Taj Mahal, and she also explored India's Ajantas, or caves which house ancient Buddhist and H i n d u paintings over 2,000 years old.

On the whole. Miss Sandelands remarked, "I thought I would see mo.'-e apathy and much more resistance to change."

She also expressed a desire to return to India some day.

South Ding-a-'Lings Barred from Phones Picture a student walking into the gym foyer with his dime in hand, all ready to go make a telephone call. He sees just one problem, a locked gate in front of the phones, prohibiting anyone to go near tbem.

Why is the gate there? According to Mr. Smith, dean of students, "The gate is locked because of too much vandalism.

The phone company put up this gate because it was losing

too much money through constant phone repair.

"The gate wiU stay up until this school can find some way of supervising the phones," said Mr. Smith. "We would like to (continued on page 2)

What's Green and Red and Smooth All Over?

Maine South's resurfaced tennis courts, of course.

These color-coated green courts with red out-of-bound lines are one of the many improvements completed during the summer months at South.

Refinished courts will provide the tennis teams with a faster paced game, as well as brightening up the school's appearance.

Another major resurfacing improvement is the school's gymnasium floor, which was completely sanded and revamished. New boundary lines were

painted on the floor for the girl's volleyball and badminton teams.

Not all the improvements are related to the physical education departments. One-third of the library has been recarpeted and twenty study carols have taken the place of the rock piles.

"Rock piles only wasted space," stated Dr. Watson, "so we decided to replace them with the carols." The rest of the library's carpeting will be installed within the next two years.

Chess Problems Designed To Check Alert Students

By Ron Skiba and Mike Cherry Thanks to an increasing interest in chess. South words will be reporting activities and games of Chess Club in the form of a chess column, with a chess problem included as below.

This year chess club has two sponsors, Mr. Robert Hunt and Mr. Holzman. Unlike last year, the club will be able to meet for the entire year, due mostly to double sponsors.

Club president Mike Cherry *74 and treasurer Tom Mullins '74 are hopefully expecting a forty person membership. Those interested in joining Chess Club must pay a one dollar membership in the bookstore. Meetings take place Wednesdays after school in C-105.

Some first semester activities in the club include a ten week student tournament, chess les-

sons for beginners, teacher versus student day, and speed chess tournaments. Second semester activities include an open tournament in which both teachers and students may enter, and possibly some inters chool matches.

Chess Problem White to move and win. A draw won't do.

South have provided their driver education students with brand new simulators. These sixteen stations will eventually eliminate the student waiting list by allowing more students to participate in the program each semester.

Another surprise to students was the tumstyles located in the cafeteria lines. These were installed to maintain traffic contr(rf.

While students are waiting in the sen'ice lines, faculty members are admiring the new carpeting in the faculty dining room.

In the Girl's Physical Education Department, team members will be able to store their equipment in their "team lockers," which are located between locker sections B and C. Miss Pierce, department head, said, "Every year, a consider-

able amount of our budget is spent on equipment, such as tennis rackets and voUeyballs, for our regular gym classes."

Parts of the north parking lot were repaired, while the drive around Talcott Road was completely resurfaced.

Between resurfacing and repairing, Maine South improved its facilities for the •73-'74 school year.

Clean Your Wheels at Wash-in

by Laurie Freeman Maine South's student-run radio station WMTH, 88.5 FM, will hold a super wash-in Saturday, Sept. 22.

All WMTH staff members, engineers, writers, and DJ's will be scrubbing down cars from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. in the north parking lot of Maine South.

For $1.25, your wheels will be cleaned thoroughly inside and out. The purpose of this car wash is to raise money for a record library among other things.

Mrs. Susan Benjamin, sponsor of WMTH, commented that in three years of car washing, there has never been a clear day. But there is always time for a first.

A free gift will be given to each customer as a bonus.

Music Director, Kim Hendee, said, "Just come and bring your car."

So instead of watching your favorite cartoons on Saturday morning, truck on down to your beloved high school, and get those white walls white.

Pictured here with high hopes of getting their customers all washed up are the new W M T H heads: Gary Grandolf, P r o g r a m D i r e c t o r ; K i m F r i t z , Publicity D i r e c t o r ; Brad Stach, Sports Director; and J i m Kusiciel, Chief Engineer.

who vandalize the phones?" asked Nina.

The phones will be available during all home sports events, where they will be under supervision at all times.

Maine South has four other phones available for students' use. These phones are located in the personnel office, the cafeteria, and the auditorium.

As for the coaches ambitions

for the team this season, Mr. TUley remarked, "We have already accomplished our first goal and that was to beat last year's record of 1 and 13. We would like to win 8 to 10 games this year, we play 14, and who knows, the way the fellows have been playing, we might not drop those four."

With every new school year comes new school rules. This year, rule revisions involved tardiness, lounge, and library procedures.

Students who are tardy must have their parent call the attendance office to excuse them.

Parents must give a legitimate reason for their child's absence. .According to Mrs. Logan, a worker in the attendance office, bad weather, or car failure are not excused tardies. An excused tardy must be a more insurmountable problem, like sickness.

If a student has three unexcused tardies, his parents are contacted and a conference may be arranged. After six unexcused tardies the student is suspended. Miss Iliff, Dean of Girls, sees the new ndes as "necessary to tighten up on tardiness."

This year, lounge is opened to only juniors and seniors first quarter. Sophomores may use the lounge second quarter.

Freshmen will not have lounge privileges this year mainly because of crowded conditions.

Library cards were not issued this year, but instead the student's I.D. card was punched.

Students are only permitted one library period a day, because of overcrowding.

Miss Iliff emphasized that most students follow the school policy, but new regulations are necessary for the few who don't.

New Teachers Are Sifted from 4 0 0 0 Maine South has officially opened its doors for another school year. Along with the welcoming of freshmen, Maine South is also welcoming seventeen new teachers to its staff.

This year there were four thousand applicants for employment in the Maine District. Out of the four thousand applicants, the following were selected.

Miss Siwinski and Mrs. West joined the Business Education Department.

The English Department added Mr. Granzyk, Mrs. Trytten, and Mr. Wyatt. The Home Economics staff added Miss Cohagan, Miss Herren, and Mrs. Ori. The Language Department received Mrs. Stone and Mr. Lowry. Miss Miles has joined the Girls P.E. staff. New Social Science teachers include Miss Fix, Miss Green, Mr. Holzman, Mr. Monaghan and Mr. Morris.

Mrs. Spiegel is the only coun-

selor added this year.

The teachers expressed a variety of opinions on their first days here.

Mr. Granzyk, who previously attended the University of Wisconsin, and was also a teacher's assistant, felt a large degree of apprehension among the students. He stated, "When a student is asked his name, he immediately believes if s for discipline reasons, instead of for friendliness."

When asked about Maine South students' attitudes, he replied, "I think if you are yourself and treat kids like human beings instead of robots, they will respond in a friendly way."

Experiencing her first teaching job, Mrs. Ori has found that students seem to have a high interest in learning and hold respect for the teachers.

Miss Miles, who traveled with an American Dance Tour, and graduated from Illinois State

Faculty Forms Committee Members of the faculty and administration are working out their own kind of "Student Council".

Dr. Watson feels that this committee is "an effort to improve communications between the administration and the faculty."

Each department selects a representative to attend committee meetings. The meetings themselves will be held monthly on a Monday during 9th period. The teacher chosen by his department need not have this - last period of the day free. He can be excused from his class to attend. Elections of representatives is left totally up to the departments themselves.

Who will be in charge of the committee once it gets under way? The group of representatives will select a chairman.

"I will meet with the group at every session, but I'm not necessarily the head of it," says Dr. Watson.

The purpose of having such a "council" is to discuss with - the administration certain problems the teachers might have.

Miss Fisher, chairman of the language department, said that an example would be when "the teachers don't feel that certain rules are justified." Topics of discussion will be anything of interest to the faculty.

After the gathering has dispersed, the representatives report back to teachers in their department on the events that took place at the meeting. The other teachers then offer any

.

new suggestions that they might like to bring up at the next assembly.

The representative has a job similar to that of a Student Council representative: relaying material from the "council" to, in this case, the faculty and vice versa.

This is the first year tor this program. In a previous year, a group existed called "Forum" that was similar to this. "Forum", however, wasn't "structured" as Dr. Watson put it.

Thus, at one meeting 30 people would show up, then 15, and finally the number got so small Forum was just dropped. The new committee hopes to shine a new light on things and show that if something is organized it can be carried through to its fullest extent.

Dr. Watson stated firmly that this is "not a griping session.

Its purpose is to improve Maine South and to improve communications."

Staffers Needed Wanted; Copy readers and rereporters for Southwords.

Requirements: Must have good mechanical skills, an interest in people, and a willingness to learn. No previous experience necessary.

If interested: Contact Mr. Ken Beatty in V-106 or V-107 between 3:40 - 4:00 p.m.

Two AFS Students Visit Japan, Panama Fredericka Birke and Sue Curda were AFS foreign exchange students over the summer.

Fred was the only one of 40 AFS students to live in Kyoto, Japan. She lived with a Japanese family for two and a half months. Her "sister" there spoke English fluently.

Japanese teenagers, reports Fred, are just like the kids here. They wear blue jeans, not kimonos, and eat at McDonald's or Dairy Queen, though a hamburger costs in the range of $4 Fred even noticed a Kentucky Fried Chicken, but was surprised to see a slantyeyed Colonel Sanders.

Everything in Japan, is not Americanized, though. Fred learned some of the traditions from her "grandmother". She also had a chance to eat octopus and eel. She didn't ask what it was until after she had eaten it.

Fred also learned some of the language because even with her "sister" as a translator.

she had to communicate with the rest of the family, all of whom did not speak English.

She explains that a few words and gestures helped her.

The trip to Kyoto wasn't all fun and games. Fred first had to stop in Tokyo a few days for orientation to learn some of the language and customs. She went to school for three weeks and was surprised that the name of the school was Notre Dame Girls High School.

Fred stressed the point that the people were friendly and very eager to please any foreigners. She would like to go back and visit all her friends.

Sue Curda was also an AFS foreign exchange student. She had her orientation in Costa Rica and then went on to Penoneme, Panama. Penoneme, says Sue, is a small town in Central Panama with a population of about 1500.

Sue stayed with an upper class family. Her "father" owned a theatre and a few

shops in Penoneme. None of her family spoke English, but Sue says that three years of Spanish at Maine South helped her.

Sue attended school and traveled a lot. She saw the Panama Canal and the ruins of the Grst city of Panama which are in the center of the modem town.

She went to one of the many weekend festivals w^ich held dances.

When asked about the customs of the people of Panama, Sue explains that they have different eating habits than we do, with the heavy meal at noon instead of the evening.

Everything is closed in the towns between 11:30 and 2 for the noon meal.

Sue says the people in Panama are really friendly and outward. She plans on returning to Panama in December for the graduation of her friends and family. She believes that "It isn't the place that makes the experience, it's the people."

'Butterflies Are Free' Cast To Begin Rehearsal After only two weeks of school, the drama department has already begun work on its first production, Butterflies are Free.

"This arena play deals mainly with a young man attempting to break away from his mother's apron strings. He becomes acquainted with a girl in the next apartment who changes

his life," stated Mr. Chastain, drama department chairman.

Mr. Chastain also mentioned, 'This particular play was picked because it's a good example of dramatic literature and of current topical interest."

Major roles in Butterflies are Free will be portrayed by Bob Leonard as Don Baker, Tammy Barbalace and Mary

Rebedeau as Jill Tanner, Kim Burson and Adelene Fistedis as Mrs. Baker, and Gary Grandolf as Ralph Austin.

When asked why a play with only four parts was chosen, Mr. Chastain said, "Students arc given at least 32 chances during the time span that they are at Maine South to participate in some sort of production. Throw-

ing one or two plays in here and thc^e that are somewhat limited shouldn't hurt a thing."

Performances will be at 8 p.m. the weekends of October 18, 19, 20 and October 25, 27. Tickets will go on sale October 4 in the cafeteria and will be sold at the door before each performance.

Harriers Place Well In CSL

Varsity Football (continued from page 4) fensively, Maine South is very strong this year. Offensively, ' there are some outstanding performers in Walsh and Flanagan. The offensive line seems strong; we rate them as an excellent football team."

On his own team. Morel added, "We feel that Michka and O'Connor our backs are real threats. Our QB Terry Quinn, needs experience but should also be good offensively. Overall, our team's quickness and speed, and a sound defense are the team's greatest attributes.

When questioned about title * contenders. Morel said, "Maine South and Deerfield are the probable choices, we haven't ^ seen Niles West yet. It should be a close and hard fought race, this is a tough league."

As to tonight's game against Maine West, Mr. Schmidt remarked, "I feel they are going to come out strong, it's always a tough physical battle — West always wants to win."

said, "All my students have a great amount of enthusiasm, even if I do forget their names!"

What do the students think of the teachers? Rich Walters '74, said. "It's really too early to give an opinion. You should have one semester to get to know the teacher."

Lisa Hendrickson 74, has Mr. Holzman for Government. In her opinion, "He always seems confident and well informed."

Keep in mind that in CC the low score wins with first place earning one point, second taking two points, etc. So as the runners place lower, the score tips higher with the scores of the first five runners determining final scores.

Against Evanston, Norb Lyle '75 placed fifth, Mark Straub •75 landed sixth, Tim McNamara '77 tamed seventh and Jim Dohn '74 took tenth.

Against Glenbrook South the Hawks' Jim Dohn, Norb Lyle, Tim McNamara and Mark Straub swent second, third, fourth and fifth respectively. In both meets, Maine South's Dave

Senf '74 took first place honors for the Hawks.

On the Sophomore level Coach Bill Drennan's harriers lost to Evanston on Tuesday by a score of 30 to Evanston's 25 points.

The sophs recovered in Thursday's conference matchup with 15 points to Glenbrook South's 50 for a decisive win.

The varsity Hawks have seven returning lettermen this year to help them. John Dohn '74, Dan Dohn '74, Bob Grant '74, Glenn Iwata '74, John Padgitt '74, Dave Senf '74, last year's honorary captain, and Bob Swaback '74 will all be running and should provide a seasoning influence.

The Hawks will have tough competition from CSL championship rivals Maine West and Maine East, last year's eleventh place state finisher. As to South's chances in conference, Varsity coach John KilcuUen stated emphatically, "We hope to be in the running with both

Maine East and Maine West."

In Friday's Maine West Center's meet Maine South finished third in total standings. Lyons and Maine West took the first two spots with scores of 319 and 316, respectively.

On the Freshman level, Tim McNamara set a new course record, smashing the old landmark by 28 seconds. Steve Senf was third in the field total of 220 freshmen with the team placing fifth overall.

On the JV level Matt Straub placed eighth and Larry Cass took ninth while in " B " varsity Bob Grant took an individual first with John Padgitt grabbing eighth. On the regular varsity Dave Senf placed third while running against last year's fifth place state winner from Crystal Lake and a tough runner from WiUowbrook.

Coach KilcuUen was pleased with his team. "We had some good times; some of the competition was pretty darn tough."

Varsity Wins Opener, Face Maine Warriors An explosive wing T offense and some fine play by a highly regarded defensive line, were the decisive factors in the varsity football Hawks season opener 21-12 victory over the Wildcats of Wheeling last Friday night. Maine South, regarded by many as the darkhorse favorite for the championship crown, swept aside a Wheeling defense with an overpowering ground game, averaging eight yards a carry.

The Hawks hit the Wfldcats hard early. TaUback Mike Walsh scored on a 50-yard scamper around right end for a TD on the third offensive Hawk play. Walsh shed two tackles enroute and received an excellent block from a guard Brian Conn. Dave Patterson kicked the extra point to give the Hawks a 7-0 bulge.

South struck again early in the second period, Mike Walsh going over right tackle for the score. The drive covered 61

yards, engineered by j u n i o r quarterback Brian Flanagan.

Patterson kicked the extra point to provide a 14-0 advantage.

However, the fine VNTieeling offense was not to be denied, led by their excellent quarterback, junior Ken Slepicka. The Wildcats, aided by several penalties against the Hawks, proceeded to riddle the Hawk defensive secondary with pin-point passing. The Wildcats got on the board with a 9 yard TD pass to the split end. The extra point attempt was no good. The half ended 14-6, Maine South.

The Hawks came out fast in the third period, and. following a Wildcat punt, the Hawks gained the ball at midfield.

Three plays later, Fullback Brian Gill smashed into the Wildcat line, and with fine blocks from .All-Conference candidates Tim Starck and Ed F r i c k, trucked 43 yards for the score.

Patterson's kick was good, putting the Hawks ahead 21-6.

Hawk safety J o * Crosby moves in for the tackle on Wheeling split end Carl Pfister after a short gain. The Hawks defeated the Wildcats 21-12 at Wheeling.

Wheeling used an effective ball control offense throughout the evening. The Wildcats pushed the Hawks steadily downfield to the 13-yard line. Following a valiant goal line stand by the Hawk line. Wheeling scored on a 2-yard reverse.

Mike Sellegren, in one of his many outstanding efforts of the evening, blocked the extra point.

Wheeling's last major drive was snuffed out at the Hawk 18-yard line, when the hands of Safety Joe Crosby intervened with a timely interception. Linebacker Bill H o r n blocked the last Wheeling effort with an interception.

Head coach Bob Schmidt commented, "I feel we have a basic team quickness, especially in our offensive and defensive lines As far as experience goes, with our ten returning lettermen we are ahead of most teams. However, we are inexperienced in the defensive secondary."

When asked if his lack of passing was indication of future strategy, Schmidt added, "1 like to throw the ball more, but since we were moving the ball so well on the ground I didn't feel it necessary. If the situation calls for it, we will throw that footbaU." The teams major goals according to Coach Schmidt: "Win the division championship and get in the playoff. Our immediate goal, of course, is to win this Maine West game tonight."

On the team's performance, Mr. Schmidt remarked, "I feel that our offensive line did a fine job blocking, we moved the ball. The defensive play was excellent, especially in the line."

On individual efforts, "The defensive play of the game was probably Joe Crosby's interception. They were knocking on the door down there and Joe picked it off. getting us out of trouble.

Bob Conrad played a fine game at stem, and I thought the hitting by Mike Sellergren was

outstanding. The general overall play of Kip Zdeb as a steadying force in the backfield was excellent." Coach Schmidt felt the offense was effective.

"I think the wing T worked well.

1 would have liked a few more offensive plays, but 2S2 yards rushing is good."

Wheeling coach Jack LUlgiber thought South played well.

"I thought you had a good tailback, fullback and overall quickness in the line, and a couple of good guards. I liked the way your team played on defense, your stem (Conrad) gave us a lot of problems. I thougiit your defensive line did an excellent job, they really contained us.

I think your team will be very competitive."

As to weaknesses, Lillgiber remarked, "1 didn't feel you we;e in the best physical con-

dition. Your secondary let our receivers beat them short all evening. I guess they were trying to stop the long score."

When questioned how he penetrated the Hawk secondary, Lillgiler commented, "Coach Schmidt had your backs playing centerfield out there. They were backing off 20 yards, we just curled our split-end in front of them and hit the ends with short passes. We wanted to throw long, but your secondary wouldn't allow that."

The Hawks opposition tonight, Maine West, has a fine squad.

Maine West coach Jim Morel eyes the Hawks with respect.

"We are expecting a tough game from South. They have a tough, physical ball club and size. Morel rated the Hawks as strong candidates for the crown. "De(.CONTJNUED ON PAGE 3)

Baseball Third in State; Soccer, Football Favorable

by Dan McGrath, Sports Editor

Congratulations to varsity baseball coach George Verber and the Maine South summer baseball team. The squad took third place in this year's state competition. The Hawks ahnost made the finals, but were eliminated in the final innings by New Trier East 8-5. The team finished with an impressive slate of 21 and 8. The Hawks played to a 16 and 7 mark in conference play, beating out Addison Trail for the title. .., ». ^ Baseball must be considered to be one of South s best sports areas, Mr. Verber and his assistant Jerry Romes have done a fine job. Dave Patterson and John Klippstein were outstanding on the mound and South had the best catching in the state with Bill Horn and Brian Flanagan sharing the honors. In the infield, Dave Hood and Keith Zdeb anchored an infield matched by none. Joe Pagone, Tom Comyn, Mike McNamara, John Rortvedt and Andy Brynicza filled the other positions. The outfield was one of the fastest in the area, with Pat Morrison, Joe McNamara, Steve Carnehl, Mike Sellergren and sophomore squad hero Jerry Kania sharing the spots.

The Hawks will be one of Illinois' biggest title contenders and could be the team to put South back in the state finals at Champaign.

Soph FB Hawks Optimistic

by Marty McGrath The Maine South sophomore footbaU squad should provide a strong '73 showing this season, following their undefeated season last year on the Freshman A level.

The sophomore Hawks, under the direction of head coach Glen Van Proyen and assistants Cliff Adamo and Quitman Sullins, will feature a ground orientated offense coupled with a stalwart defense.

Last year, the Hawks went undefeated in the tough freshmen football A division of the CSL. The team was the first in the history of Maine South

freshmen footbaU to attain an unblemished overall slate.

Last Friday night the sophs defeated the Wildcats of Wheeling, the Hawks again proving that they can still do what they have always done, score points and dominate the game defensively.

our Hawks have allowed the opposition only one goal.

The Hawks currently occupy first place in the Central Suburban League south division.

Coach Tilley viewed, "New Trier West is the toughest in the conference, and Maine East should prove to be one of the toughest teams in the state. Of course, we will try our hardest against any team we play this season."

Standouts on the team this year include David Krumwiede who scored three goals against St. Joseph's last Saturday, Marshall Austin and the AFS student this year. George Gregori.

Coach Tilley remarked, "All our players are key, any are cap(CONTINUED ON PAGE 2)

If the team can compensate for its lack of size and depth, the sophs should provide another exciting season for thei.- classmates and opponents.
