Seniors Leave "Worthwhile" Job To 74-75 WMTH Staff Heads WMTH staff heads for the coming school year were recently elected. New members of the staff are: Dave Downing '76, Program Director; Kim Hendee '76, Assistant Program Director; Jim Kisiels *75, Chief Engineer; John Plata '76, Assistant Engineer; Karen Zdunek '76, Publicity Director; and Diane Matus '76, News Director.

The following students are also '74-'75 staff heads: Nancy Bums '76, Music Director; Beth Lee '76, Public Service Director; and Adrian Sakowicz *76, Sports Director.

Most of the former staff heads held the same opinions regarding the radio station. They all agreed it was fim and worthwhile working for something which they all had an interest in.

Mike Nelson, '74 Publicity Head, replied, "The job is what you make it. I guess you could run the station without a publicity man, but it makes it a lot easier to talk into that microphone when you know that there are really people out there who are listening."

Brad Stach, '74 Sports Director, concluded that his job was essential to the station. "It's probably the most listened to part of the show during air time because many people are interested in the outcome of the sp<irts events."

When asked if he would continue in broadcasting. Brad replied, "It all depends. I won't be in my curriculum at college.

I might do a little for fim, but it won't be my career in the future."

Top History Juniors Receive High Honors The top 18 students in United States History fw 1974 have been announced. Selection was made by a committee consisting of accelerated and advanced placement U.S. History instructors: Mr. Robert Schulu, Miss Elizabeth Green, Mrs. Barbara Heerman, and Mr. Joel Morris.

The sduteots nominated for High HOOTS are: Marjorie Buta, James Davis, Cathryn Flaherty, Joseph Fritz, Bonnie Gordy, Julie Grego, Anne Huedepohl, Larry Keller, Laura Mangimi, Daniel McGrath, Nancy Moore, Midiele Nicolau, Sheila Petersm, Alan Robandt, Carolyn Salz-

mann, Mary Cecilia Smith, William Windsor, and Sally Zilla.

These students will receive special commendations at the History Honors Program on Monday, May 27, at 7:30 p.m. in the Auditorium. At that time, Christina Pendzich, Best American History Scholar for 1973, will open a sealed envelope which will reveal the name of the Best American History Scholar for 1974 selected from the 18 top U.S. History Students.

Social Science staff member Joel Morris attended Maine South and was also named Best American History Scholar in 1969.

The Pep Club Council members for 1974-75 have been selected. Phyllis Baldoni, Roz Bandendistel, Barb Block, Maureen Buckley, Nina Cicchino, Carol Ditommaso, Diane Erickson, Terry Floyd, and Kathy Gibbons will make up part of the Council next year. Also included will be Gail Jacobson, Gail Litrenti, Betsy Kelly, Kathy Phillips, Holly Rees, Jill Stach, Sue Vering, Lianne Youngqulst, and Karen Zdunek.

The Club's new officers are Lynne Milburn, president; Anne Huedepohl, vice president; Ellen Erickson, secretary; and

Nancy Maroney, membership chairman.

Throughout the year, these girls will continue to uphold the spirits of the team. They will also sponsor their membership drive in the fall. At the onset of the football and the basketball seasons, they're found wondering in the stands at all home games and many away games.

The girls put up locker tags for all the members of the varsity sports during the seasons. Pep Club Council also supervises the selling of "pom poms" and pennants during the year along

with selling programs at the Homecoming game. During basketball season, the club sponsors buses to each of the away games. To inform all the students of future sports activities.

Pep Club makes calendars which are put in each homeroom. During the Homecoming season, they also traditionally sponsor a breakfast welcoming the returning Maine South graduates. At the end of each year, the Club sponsors an Awards Banquet where members who had attended many of the sports events are honored.

Air Conditioning Soon Completed Construction of the new building which will house more than $600,000 worth of new air conditioning equipment is underway.

Though behind schedule because of unfavorable weather, plans still call for completion of the project by the middle of the summer.

Given such progress, the fresh cool air should be circulating through the centers area well before the end of summer school.

The building which will house the air conditioning unit was begun early in February. The workmen are now behind schedule, but it is hoped that there will be air conditioning for the latter half of the summer school season.

Presently, a system in the centers building recirculates the air throughout the area. This air is often hot and humid, and the building does not get adequate cooling. The new air conditioning unit will keep the flow of air constant and at a temperature of 72 degrees.

The cost of the new cooling unit is $600,000. The operational costs will be minimal in relation to the 25 million dollar budget, according to Dr. Watson.

Future plans call for air conditioning the entire school, but presently there is a lack of funds. Air conditioning, once only a dream at Maine South, is soon to become a reality.

Southwords and News Bureau editors for ttw '74-'75 school year are, top row: Paula Piasecki, News Bureau Editor-in-Chief; Maureen Buckley, SW News Editor; Ellen Bush, SW Features Editor; Carrie Reckert, SW Editor-in-Chief; Janet F r a n i , SW News-in-Depth Editor; Barb Brzozowski, SW Copy Editor; and bottom row: Dan McGrath, SW Sporls Editor; Tim McCurry, News Bureau Photo Editor; Dave Barklow, SW Photo Editor.

Besides running the concession stands during the football season, the G.R.A. Board members also organize and run the entire intramural program.

G.R.A. also offers additional gym time during their playnights.

Finally, G.R.A. Board gives

the needed support to the interscholastic teams who get little or no support from other parts of the school.

This year, the annual G.R.A. Awards Dessert was held on May 23. This event honors the winners in the intramurals along with other outstanding girls who contribute to the athletics program.

ThÂŤ following students have been nominated for High Honors in U.S. History by their instructors in advanced placement and accelerated history classes, back row: Sheila Petersen, Margie Buti, Dan McGarth, Jim Davis, Bill Windsor, and Anne Huedepohl; front row: Julie Grego, Bonnie Gordy, Mary Smith, Carolyn Salzmann, and Laura Mangun. Not pictured are: Cathy Flaherty, Joe Fritz, Larry Keller, Nancy Moore, Michel* Nicolau, Alan Robandt, and Sally Zilla.

When asked what her future will be like after retirement she answered, "Oh, I have so many hobbies, but first I'll have to buy a condominium, and decorate it so it's pleasant to live in."

Miss Freeman's office has shelves which are filled with blue china vases, jars, bottles, etc. She also enjoys collecting antiques, and often goes to antique shows.

"I love to travel. I've been through most of Europe: Portugal, England, Greece, Yugoslavia, and Northern Europe." She also would like to go to Hong Kong and Tokyo someday.

In order to be a social work-

er, Miss Freeman went to many colleges for her education. She received her Bachelor's and Master's Degree at Kurksville University of Missouri and went to graduate school at Chicago University. She also attended classes at Northwestern University and Columbia University of New York.

"I've been at Maine South ten years, but before I came here, I was the Director of Guidance at the Demonstration School in Kurksville and the Dean of Girls at Maine East. ' The one thing that Miss Freeman remembers most about her years at South is, "I just love to watch kids grow, change and mature all through high school.

I've loved kids all my life, and I have always kno\ni I would someday be someone who helps others."

KISMET Costumes Designed

by Hard-Working Women

Sophomore officers for ffie conrting year are, left to right: Mickey Rooney, vice-president; Pam Zdunek, president; Maria Chakos, secretary; Katie Caroll, treasurer.

Rumor has it that Maine South rented all of their costumes from New York for Maine South's recent musical. Kismet.

That statement can only be answered in the negative.

All costumes were done right here at South. Fifteen women from the Maine South Music Boosters sewed the glamorous costumes. Mrs. Hannibal, the co-chairman of costumes, read the script, did research on Old Baghdad and Arabian clothing, and made sketches for the production's costumes.

Material was used from productions in previous years. They

How Do You Spend Your Money?

by Diane Thunder Maybe you've noticed some poor girl wandering aimlessly around the halls lately asking people how they get their money and what they do with it.

Well, this has all been a plot to discover the financial status of Maine South students.

Tabulations show that the most common source of income is a part-time job. During the school year, students have held jobs on weekends and after school. Now that summer is approaching most jobs will be extended to full-time employment.

The majority of girls work as waitresses, clerks in retail stores, secretaries, and of course, to pick up a little extra cash, babysitters. One senior girl teaches piano lessons after school and on weekends, and another is a Sunday preschool instructor. Boys' jobs range from employment at a rent-a-car dealer to a construction worker to doing miscellaneous jobs such as mowing the lawn, washing windows, etc.

Nearly 40 per cent of the students interviewed received a weekly allowance as their source of income. A junior boy who chose to remain anonymous commented, "I get big birthday presents that I coast along the rest of the year with." Then there are students who give the old "Hey - Dad - I - need - a little - extra - cash - I'll - pay you - back - later" routine.

Income of the fifty Maine South students interviewed ranged from two dollars per week to eighty five dollars per week. The average is twenty two dollars a week.

What do students do with their hard-earned money? Forty percent invest their earnings in either cigarettes or alcohol. The majority (82 percent) buy food, clothes, and use it just going out with their friends. Dates rank high on the top of boy's lists. Among other items bought are albums, tapes, books, magazines, and personal i t e m s (make-up, shampoo, r a z o r s , etc.). A number of students are

in the process of saving for long-term goals such as college, vacations, radio and stereo equipment, and contacts.

Sally Wallace '74 said she spent most of her money on gas. "When you start to drive and you see that gas gauge going down, you realize how expensive gas really is!"

Albums are priced between $3.95 and $6.95 while 45's are around a dollar or so. A junior girl informed us that she used to be able to buy everything by babysitting two or three times each month, but with prices constantly rising, she has to babysit about 6 times a month before she can buy any albums and clothes.

Eileen Connor '75, buys antiques with her extra money.

"We go to flea markets every two weeks or so. I have a whole lot of different collections."

With prices as high as they are today. Finance for Beginners should be a mandatory course for aU students.

Carol Tomer and Dave Brachman, also juniors, will be alternates in the event that one of the principals cannot go as announced by Otto Kohler, Social Science department chairman.

KIMO SABEE Next Week

EYRIE To Follow Soon

Shines Brighter Than A Few Stars

As the last day of school draws near, award nights become more and more niunerous. Besides the nights, such as Thespian Awards and GRA Awards/Dessert, set aside to honor those who have done well in extracurricular activities are the honors programs that recognize students who have excelled scholastically.

Teachers usually go all out in planning entertainment appropriate for a No. 1 high school to offer. Parents also enjoy exerting a little pride as their son or daughter crosses the stage to receive the award. Even little brother or sister beams at the sibling's achievements. The primary purpose remains, however, to honor the student and make him feel a little important.

This year an abundance of awards seems to exist. An "A" is not needed for each quarter to receive an award which prompts conversations to be heard in the halls of how Billy Brown did not deserve a Language Award. Even the Maine South chapter of the National Honor Society lowered its requirements for admission to coincide with those of the other Maine Township schools. At a recent meeting of NHS, a petition was decided upon to bring the requisites back up to South's "high standards."

South has always had high standards, but high stand-

The total amount spent on costumes was a little under $600. The money came from the Maine South Music Boosters membership dues.

These costumes from Kismet will be stored away in closets for future use. They will probably be taken apart and reassembled to fit the needs of future productions.

The women who spent their own time to sew these costumes are: Mrs. Donald Hannibal, cochairman, Mrs. Robert Baumgartner, co-chairman, Mrs. Dan .Andrew, Mrs. Philip Asplud, Mrs. Edmund Charchut, Mrs. Bruce Dalton, Mrs. Richard Dorman, Mrs. John Graham, Mrs. Martin Joyce, Mrs. Louis Stephens, Mrs. Frank Stolfa, Mrs, Richard Stover, and Mrs. Dean Whitford.

The people who made up the student costume committee are: Julie Baudendlstel, Cindy Conway, Gail Krue, Patty Stevenson, Lydia Urban, Mary Vinopal, and Cindy Wilkens.

also searched thrift shops, received old formals from the Park Ridge School for Girls, and received more old clothes from an ad that the women put in the paper. In addition to what they received, the items that were purchased were bought at a discount at The Sewing Basket, 800 Devon Av., Park Ridge.

Extra items used were old hats, hat frames, jewelry, and sequins.

The women moved into the sewing room, P.^-110, on March 20 and finished May 1, A total of six weeks was spent on sewing about 97 costumes plus 22 usherette costumes.

Most of the boys wore baggy pants, vests, and turbans. The girls wore sheer skirts or harem pants, small vests, veils, and a lot of jewelry.

The most difficult costumes sewn were the dancers' costumes because they had to be comfortable when the dancers moved on the stage, and Lalume's wardrobe, because of the work put into sewing the intricate patterns and sequins on her costumes.

ards does not mean keeping out deserving students because they are not at the very too of their class. For the undisputably intelligent students, titles such as Best U.S. History Scholar and Ten Maine Scholars are administered.

The faculty and administration should not be criticized for providing many other awards that are within the reach of most of the students. The objective of the awards is to praise the students for their accomplishments and stimulate further study, rather than to single out one or two individuals for recognition. Some students seem to be looking for special awards that simply are not offered.

Admittedly, fifty students receiving the same award is not as impressive as ten reaching a goal. But a few students should be willing to relinquish a little of their honor to enable others to enjoy some recognition. After all, the best encouragement that can be given a person is to allow him a little self-pride.

On a concluding but hopeful note, the 74-75 SW staff urges students to inform us of any tidbits of information regardingless of how piddling they seem. Good, juicy, biased opinions in letters-to-the-editor will always be welcomed. And even without any outside help, the staff has promised to report the news as accurately as John Coleman conveys his weather reports.

Young Life Proves Growing Interest In Christ

by Janet Franz Young Life, the Christian organization for high school students, has grown to be an important part of some Maine South students' lives. Along with other organizations, such as Campus Life and Son City, Young Life is evidence of the increasing number of students interested in expanding the meaning of religion in their lives or just looking for something to do with other kids.

Young Life is a nationwide congregation of young people who are looking for an alternative to watching television or doing nothing at all. The group is organized by volunteers across the country.

Club is held every Wednesday night at the home of one of Young Life's members and the number of kids that come varies each time. The club, which consists of skits, songs and talks, lasts from about 7:30 p.m. to 9:00 p.m.

Generally, the students just talk among each other about whatever they want, and Christian songs and skits depicting certain aspects of Christianity are acted out later.

Also in the course of the meeting, a talk is given by the group director, Dick Pope, explaining the meaning Christ can give in

everyday situations. The main effect is usually a good time with lots of fun along with the kids realizing the role Jesus plays in their lives. Donna Thor '74, an avid member of the local Young Life association, commented, "Young Life gives you a chance to meet people and share what Jesus means to you. The times I've spent with Young Lite have been the very best times for me."

Also on Monday night, a session called "Campaigners'* is held at Good Shepherd Church in Park Ridge. This session is usually composed of a small group of kids discussing their relationship with Christ more deeply. "Campaigners" is also led by Dick Pope.

Another feature of Young Life is their weekend, vacation, and summer trips. Some weekend trips are to such places as Lake Geneva and Michigan.

During winter vacation, outings are taken to such places as Michigan and Colorado for skiing. During spring vacation, a trip was taken to Florida, not only to take in the sun or relax, or go to Disney world, but also to create an easier atmosphere to talk over any problems or thoughts with the other members of Young Life. Donna describes the vacations as be-

ing, "more free time to talk to people about Christ and relax without any hassles." She also added, "I'd rather spend my money going on Young Life trips than buying new clothes."

During the summer, the organization sponsors camps all over the country in an effort to unite Young Life clubs from the entire nation. The camp includes such things as jeep rides, mountain climbing, horseback riding and swimming. Many kids from the Park Ridge club attend the camps and enjoy talking with other Young Life members from other cities and states.

Cathy BotaUa '74 said, "When I first started going to Young Life, there were mostly older kids there, and usually the same ones every week, but now the club includes more freshmen, too."

Many students like Paula McGraw '74 enjoy going to Young Life fod a comfortable atmosphere. She commented, "It's a good way to relax and not wordy about what other

people are thinking about you."

If anyone is interested in joining Young Life, he or she should look for posters around the caf-

Young Life leader Roger Aim enthusiastically participates in a song at a typical Young Life meeting.

Perseverance Key To Finding Jobs The time of the year has arrived when a young man's (and a young woman's) fancy turns from love to Summer Jobs. Procrastinating job seekers who dread waiting in a summer bread line should head toward the school's Career Resource Center.

According to Mr. Ken Reese, career counselor, jobs this year are available, especially for high school graduates who are seeking full-time employment, but the jobs are sometimes hard to find. A wide array of full-

time, part-time, and summer jobs, ranging from factory assembly work to labor in fast food service chains, are available; however, more opportunities are open to females than to males.

Most jobs are based upon the skill level of the worker. Girls especially are encouraged to take typing and stenography courses, for many offices today seek girls with secretarial skills.

Job openings for boys include motel and hotel work, printing, and stock room work. to

Mr. Reese suggests that prospective job hunters check the Job Board in the Career Resource Center and the Yellow Pages for ideas on where to apply, but students must not let only their fingers do the walking. The student should apply for jobs in person and should dress neatly for any interviews.

As a final word, Mr. Reese mentioned that the job seeker should not get too easily discouraged. "After all," he pointed out, "perseverance is the key success."

Get Ready for TP On June 7

Another possibility might be going to a movie and throwing popcorn at f)eople. It is a good idea to make sure the movie is not something like American Graffiti or Summer of '42 with tear-jerking high school memories. On June 7, Pickwick is showing Butch Caddisy and the Sundance Kid, and Golf Mill Theater One is showing The Godfather and Lady Sings the Blues, and Theater Two is showing Conversation.

Another fun idea is dragging out all the old yearbooks and drawing moustaches on the people who should have asked you to prom, and paper train your puppy on a few pages.

If you have connections, get a part time job as a busboy at Evanston's Orrlngton Hotel (that's where the prom is, dummy!). Work Incognito, with a fake nose and glasses. When you see all your hateful enemies, spill punch on their formals and rented tuxedos.

How about writing down 25 good reasons why you would not go to the prom anyway if you were asked. Maybe settle for 5 reasons.

You can make a bowl of popcorn (who cares about those 50 zits you will get, you aren't going to prom anyway) and watch a late movie. Luckily, channel 7 is showing "Moon Zero Two," a scl-fl movie on that Friday.

Watch it until the end, and stay up for "Five Minutes to Live By." Remember that guy who should have asked you but ended up going with the bleached blonde? Go T.P. his house that night.

If none of these suggestions are of any help, you can always figure out how you can have the school lose your grades so you can somehow stay back another year. Then you can have another crack at Senior Prom. by the "Elite Ms. Freeman" ,

Diamondmen Begin Post-Season Tourney Pending the results of yesterday's district championship, the Maine South Hawks will enter the Niles West Regional as the opponents of Evanston's Wildkits. The Hawks earned the right to face Niles West on the merits of their 6-0 shutout of Ridgewood Monday.

At the district semi-finals, Dave Patterson threw a onehitter against the Ridgewood varsity to win his seventh game of the season. The lone hit was an infield tap with 6 and 2/3 innings of the seven inning game completed. Patterson struck out six and exhibited excellent control throughout the game.

The Hawks jumped out ahead early and continued to build on their lead, adding runs in twos

and ones. Patterson never had to work himself out of serious difficulty. Patterson also wielded the biggest bat for South, driving in three runs on two hits. Tom Comyn, Mike Sellergren and Brian Flanagan each had two hits. Flanagan and Sellergren scoring a run and driving in one. Morrison drove in a tally with a single.

Niles West is pitching Mike Gillon against the Hawks' J(*n Klippstein, a top hurler who managed to limit the Hawks to one hit in the season-opening 3-0 loss to the Indians. If the Hawks can beat Niles, they will meet Evanston today. The Hawks defeated Niles West in their last encounter 9-5 to move into first place in the Central

Maine South did quite well at the conference meet held last Friday, placing fifth out of a field of twelve in overall competiti<m. South placed sixth in the district meet out of a field of over twenty-five teams. At the districts, Dave Senf took seccmd place honors in the 2mile.

Brian Murphy took a second place in pole-vaiilting. "Hie 440yard and 880-yard relay teams also won second place in their categories. Duke Vogel finished in third place in the lOO-yard dash with a time of :10.3. Mark Sellergren finished fourth in that race to end the Hawk scoring Track Coach Carl Magsamen commented, "Brian Murphy has a good chance to make it down-

state today. His best vault was 14'6", putting him potentiaUy into the top sixteen jumpers in the state. Murphy shoxild do well. "ITie relay teams in comparison to the other district scores are found in a block of teams centering around seventh or eighth place. They will need a significant improvement to do well."

"Recently," continued M r.

Magsamen, "the team has shown some dramatic improvements in their times in both the 440 and 880, The 880-yard team trimmed 1.5 seconds off their time; the 440-yard team cut .5 seconds since the districts.

There are over 800 boys participating, it will take a big effort."

Suburban conference race, a half game ahead of the Indians.

Dave Patterson won that contest for South, getting all the support he needed in the sevenrun fifth inning. Niles West errors were capitalized by Hawk basenmners and batsmen in the Hawks' ninth conference win of the year.

In the conference race, right now South leads Niles West by one-half of a game, Niles holding a 9-4 slate. Glenbrook South is tied for second place with Niles and is followed by Glenbrook North and New Trier West, each at 8-4.

"The recent rainouts shouldn't hamper us any more than anyone else," remarked Mr. Verber, head coach. "All of the CSL teams have experienced plenty of trouble with rainouts, It can inlfuence a team's performance, but all the teams are equally in the same boat."

If the Hawks can win the district title from defending champion Niles West, the Hawks will meet Evanston, a very hardhitting ballclub. The Hawks split a double-header with the Wildkits earlier this season in two very high-scoring games.

The winner of the Maine South-

Evanston game will meet the winner of Saturday's game between Maine West and Glenbrook North. The sectional will be held at Glenbrook North.

Coach Verber commented, "The competition at this point becomes relatively even, all the teams competing are good ball clubs. The one thing that should

make the difference is pitching.

The pitching and fielding has been good, our overall caliber of play has improved consistently over the course of the season. Our varsity is equal to the pressure, they will lose only when they meet a good team having a very good game. We are in good shape."

what better, shooting a good 81, not quite enough, however.

In overall conference play the squad finished the season at 6-7 in dual meet play. The Hawks had spuited out to an early season lead, sweeping their first three dual encounters and holding first place till early May. The Hawks had broken the traditional strangle-hold on the league title by North Shore schools, but were unable to maintain that grip as the rainy season progressed.

Eighteen teams participated in the Maine South district.

South had the youngest competing varsity on the course. Ray Becker, joined by Bob Graf entered the sectional for South, Graf failed to qualify.

At the conference meet held yesterday at the Village Green Country Club in Mundelein.

Mr. Brady commented. "I stepped down because of the increasing amount of work associated with my duties as athletic director. It would have been impossible for me to continue as head coach."

The big news this week in the South sports world are the great accomplishments of the Maine South Girls' Track Team. Miss Schultze's wonders finished second in Illinois at the state meet held at Eastern Illinois last weekend.

Enroute to their second place finish behind Illiopoulos High School, the team set a national and state mark in the mile-relav with a time of 4:07:2. The team consisted of Liz Boesen, Daine Havhr, Marilyn Pluta and Nancy Swider.

Other South winners at Charleston were Liz Boesen in the 440-yard dash with a second place; Diane Havlir won fourth in the 880 and the 440-yard relay team took a fourth to complete the Hawk scoring.
