National Problem Creates Paper Shortage at South A severe cutback on paper began here at Maine South on October 22, 1973. We have enough paper to last for only three weeks, and by then the next shipment of paper will be chie. The school fears a stall in the shipment because of the recent postponements on orders; therefore, Uie paper shortage is worsening.

The department chairmen are now in charge of paper for their division. Each department has received its quota of paper according to its past usage and the size of the department. The chairmen will distribute the paper among their department teachers only by special request.

The teachers must follow certain procedures in order to acquire paper.

Many reasons are causing the paper shortage that is plaguing the entire country. First of all, severe floods have shut down many of the paper mills causing the U.S. to buy paper from Canada. Another reason for the shortage is that the stress and extra work cm the Canadian mills have caused a strike. The people working in the mills want more money for their hastened work.

With today's growing industry and commercial needs, paper has become a necessity. Modem businesses demand more paper to run through computers.

With all the computerized businesses of today, paper is being consumed much faster; consequently the demand is greater.

These businesses have put an additional load on the market.

Paper mills find it difficult to make a profit when they are pressured into buying anti-pollution devices. With additional costs they can't expand their production.

To help pay for extra expenses, the mills have raised their prices and cut back on the cheap, low grade paper. They only make high grade expensive paper in order to get a better income on productions. Consequently the school cannot find cheap paper.

Students will be expected to supply paper for tests and everyday work. The idea is to conserve paper and use the reverse side. The shortage is expected to continue for the next five years. By conserving paper for priority use only, there will be enough for basic needs.

Nancy Martorelli Elected to Office Of Vice President of III. State OEA Nancy Martorelli *74 has been elected vice-president of the Illinois State Office Education Association.

To qualify for this title she had to be a member of the Office Occupations program and hold an office in {he Northwest Suburban district. The Northwest Suburban district is one of the many divisions in the state of Illinois of OEA. It has approximately fifteen high schools within its boundaries.

This district elected Nancy as treasurer.

Nancy then had to study the National O.E.A. handbook. She was then tested over parliamentary procedure by a written test, and had to score a 90 per cent or better.

The next step was an interview between her and the four National officers and seven coordinators. Finally the State and National directors talked for about ten minutes with all those who qualified and began elimiaating.

Nancy was slated for office

by Sue Vetrovec who gave a nomination speech for her.

Fans, rings, suckers, and paper keys served as campaign items. These items had slogans attached to them. "Nancy Martorelli is the key to O.E.A." was inscribed on the paper keys. Rings, made from flip-tops with different colored bows attached and a piece of paper corresponding to the color of the bow for the slogan, read "Vote for Nancy Martorelli."

The suckers and fans had similar slogans.

Once the campaigning was over, voting began. Nancy won unanimously her position of state vice-president.

Nancy now has the potential to become a National officer.

The State Planning Conference to elect the state officers of O.E.A. took place at the PickCongress Hotel on Michigan .-\ve. in Chicago. It stretched from Friday to Saturday, October 19 and 20.

The first planning session will meet at the Pick-Congress once again on March 7, 8, and 9.

Proposed Traffic Signal Affects South Students

By Priscilla Condon .At traffic light has been proposed by the Roads and Streets Planning Commission which may affect a number of Maine South students.

In a meeting held last week, members of the Washington PTO, several aldermen, and representatives from the planning commission were presented with a proposal to erect a traffic light in the vicinity of Engle and Talcott Roads.

A dispute arose over the placement of the light because the Alderman wanted the signal placed at Western Ave. while another suggestion was to put the light at Seminarv and Talcott.

Although the exact location could not be agreed on, the members concluded that a traffic light was needed in the general vicinity to curb the traffic hazard.

Harold Wyman, principal of Washington School and member of the PTO, said, "we have been concerned (with the traffic problem) for a long time." Mr. Wyman is primarily concerned with the safety of his students who cross Talcott near Washington

school. The children who live south of Talcott face the danger of oncoming traffic since the street affords no lights or stop signs to cross at.

Mr. Wyman said he is "thinking in their needs of niacin? the signal at Engel and Talcott," which would be a convenient crossing.

If and when a location is found for the traffic light, it's placement will not be possible for another year. The cost of the light will run in the neighborhood of $35 thousand.

The police department originally conducted a survey for the light. They took traffic counts at rush hour on Talcott and determined a signal was needed.

A few years ago stop signs were planned at Talcott and Western, but went unheeded by motorists. The proposed light will enable children from Washington and Maine South to cross safely, without hindering the flow of traffic.

The new traffic light hopefully will solve the problem of congested traffic at the morning rush hour and eliminate kids haphazardly running in front of cars.

'Number What?' Ask South Students "Number what?!" was the response many students had when informed of the survey conducted by Professor B. Everard Blanchard of DePauI University, which named Maine South as the finest school in the nation.

This survey and the results (obtained from questionnaires sent to 800 schools and investigations of 615) later brought more well-considered responses from students of all classes.

Cindy Skowron '76, said, "I think Maine South deserves to be No. 1 because the administrators and faculty have worked very hard in keeping the school well organized and keeping dis-

cipline. I am proud to l>e a student at Maine South."

John Header '74, concurred, saying, "It's just nice to know that you're going to a number 1 school."

However, many students had objections to the ratings. Mark Ludwig '74, commented, "I don't think you can measure a ranking of number one considering only about 600 schools."

Meg Theilen '74, asked, "If we're the best school in the nation, why can't we keep our Johns open?"

Mark Amador '74, said, "There was no vandalism in my freshman year but things have changed. .Also, when I was here the first year, we had two camps, administration and students, fighting about things

like open campus. Now no one seems to care."

Still, students agreed that the school's facilities and courses were excellent.

The Dean of DePaul's School of Education has said that "the university does not support" Blanchard's claims, and other school analysts have called Blanchard's system irregular and inconclusive. Blanchard himself has said there's nothing final, exhaustive, or conclusive in his survey.

Maine South, however, still ranks as one of the top ten schools in the nation. The Report of the North Central Evaluation Association, compiled last year, has praise for the school.

The report was based on in(CONTINUED ON PAGE 2)

Karla Jennings Puts NCTE Contest On Scholastic Achievements List

Senator John Nimdod and Representative Robert S. Juckett of the 78th General Assembly of Illinois recently made two proclamations to commend Maine South for being the top high school in the nation.

The proclamations acclaimed the students, faculty, staff, administration, parents, and taxpayers of District 207. Areas of

instruction, curriculum, guidance and counseling services, faculty preparation, and adminadministration were also praised.

Representative Robert S. Juckett sponsored resolution No. 548, which was adopted in the House of Representatives on Oct. 16, 1973.

Resolution No. 265 was spon-

sored in the Senate by Senator John Nimrod on Oct. 25, 1973.

Copies of these resolutions were presented to Dr. Clyde Watson, principal, in a recent visit by Rep. Juckett and Sen. Nimrod to South.

Rep. Juckett has also spoken to Maine South government classes in telephone interviews.

Karla Jennings '74 is a winner in the 1973 National Council of Teachers of English Writing contest.

Maine South had six juniors entered in national competition with 6,400 other students. About 850 finalists were chosen across the nation. Karla is the only finalist at Maine South.

The contestant is judged on samples of his best writing consisting of an autobiography, an impromptu essay, and some creative work. As her creative examples Karla submitted two poems and a prose piece about a summer forest.

The NCTE award consists of a certificate of congratulations and a list of all winners. When Karla heard of her award she said, "I was amazed and astounded."

Mr. Robert Hunt, Karla's English teacher commented, "I English teacher commented, "1 think the award was particularly well desened. Karla is an

extremely gifted, creative writter."

For Karla, winning awards is not new. Her writing career got a bad start when, at age 12, a story she wrote was rejected by the New Yorker. "Imagine being rejected by one of the world's leading magazines," Karla laughed.

Her creative ability was first officially recognized in her sophomore year when she entered the Chicago Poets and Patrons writing contest. She placed first in the high school competition and fourth overall out of 1400 contestants.

Karla's creative talent is not limited to writing. In Contest Speakers her oration on old people placed third in the state.

For all her creativity, Karla claims to be a typical English student. "I write all my papers on Sunday night," she admitted.

Her future plans are not yet definite. She would like either to be a pediatrician or a journalist.

New Submarine Club Will Restore SS Silversides Restoring a World War II submarine can be quite a challenge as the newly formed Submarine Club may soon discover. The club, headed by Ted Carroll 76, will be making plans for the restoration. The work will be bandied as an out-of-school project either on an individualized basis or as a group effort.

The submarine, Silversides, was given to the Combined Great Lakes Navy Association, of which Mr. Carroll is the President. This committee estimates that the cost of the project will come to $350,000.

Fund raising will be a project in itself. "We hope to restore the submarine to its original form. We need all the help we

can get," commented Ted. Silversides, which is docked at Navy Pier, is worked on every weekend. The work is headed by the same man who restored the German submarine at the Museum of Science and Industry.

In two years the organization hopes to have finished the submarine. When the project is done, the sub wiU be placed in a special museum to be built near Navy Pier. Anyone wishing to join the club is welcome, but a willingness to work is required.

For more information, contact either Miss Patricia Barr, Mr. Joseph Pelletieri, or Ted Carroll.

Send Stamps to Save Rare Eagles students who say they are firm believers in ecology, now have a chance to prove themselves by participating in the ooUecti(Hi of cancelled, cdorful, commemorative stamps.

These commemorative stamps when sent to the Florida Audubon Society, Drawer 7, Maitland, Florida 32751, are sold to stamp dealers who in turn sell them to foreign countries.

Money received from the sales pay for the protection of endangered bald eagles by helping to post the sanctuaries with paid guards.

Mr. George Greene of the science department learned of this program last April, from an Audubon Newsletter. He now requests that students who wish to take part in the program send their stamps to the address mentioned above or give the stamps to Mr. Greene.

The stamps should be of the commemorative type. No Christ-

mas or regular issue stamps from 1 cent to 40 cents are accepted because of their wide circulation.

by Laurie Freeman Wandering around the hallway, a sudden flash attracts your attention. Holy banana peels; A U.F.O. is landing in the Maine South pond. What should you do?

Many brave students said they would go and look at the UFO if they were in this predicament. A less valiant senior.

Rich Wolter said that he would run down the hall screaming.

One sophomore even went as far as saying that she would pass out. Ginney Rooney '74, said, "I'd take the U.F.O. people down to the dean's office to get them a visitor's pass."

When asked this question.

Dean Smith said, "1 would have my security officer bring the inhabitants to my office, and I would tell them about our number one school, then I would take them on a tour of Maine South and try to set up a foreign exchange program."

Sophomore John Plata said that he would give the U.F.O a ticket for not having a parking sticker. Becky BuffMd '74, said, "I'd think the U.F.O. people would look like hairless aardvarks."

Many students believed the creatures would be small, green and gnomelike. Brian Murphy '74, thought they would l o o k like incredibly ugly worms with red hair and mustasches.

About half the students interviewed believed in U.F.O.'s.

One girl said the reason for them coming here was to investigate us as we Investigate them.

One student asked, "Do you believe in U.F.O.'s?" answered very quickly, "Do they believe in us?"

Mark Tiberi '74, thought that the invaders would most likely be unfriendly, so his solution was to bring them some cafeteria food to scare them

spell their names.

Like magic, the students clammed up: "I don't want My Name in the paper. I didn't know you were going to print My Name."

If the story was on vandalism, drug abuse, or hitchhiking, we could understand the need for anonymity. But what is incriminating about a part-time job? The job story is just one example of a constant problem.

Students here want to blend in with the woodwork. They prefer to be part of a faceless, book-laden mob than to admit

Blanchard Survey Results Questioned; (CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1)

terviews with students, administrators and teachers, observation, and follow-up studies on gra(iuates. "Maine South High School is the kind of school that is enthusiastic about its education prcx^ess," commented the report.

The report stated that Maine South had an exceptiwial teaching staff and course diversity, with the administration providing "sound and thoughtful leadership."

The English Department was commended on its courses for exceptional English students, as was the Business Education Department for its on-the-job training programs.

The report also included areas needing improvement. The role

of the Department chairman, according to the report, should be better defined and the use of persuasion rather than coercion should be brought into play.

The size of classes and meeting hours of Student Council should be improved, and teachers' time is often used for supervision instead of better purposes. Maintaining school discipline was also in need of improvement, the report said.

"Rules designed to govern students outside of classes . . . seem to be reinforced sporadically . . . to the point that many students make a game out of ignoring the rules" was another comment by the report.

The report reaches the con-

Don't Print My Name' Blues Strike SW Staff students at this school have a compulsion towards ancmymity. Maybe human nature has mutated to the extent that a wish to remain inconspicuous is normal; we don't know. But we do know that few people in this school are willing to attach their names to their opinions.

This SW issue was supposed to contain a story on kids who combine school and part-time jobs. Students interviewed for the story had logical, interesting, non-stop comments imtil the reporters asked them to

away.

Many students bring many answers, yet there are some who quickly laugh at the idea of U.F.O.'s at Maine South. To those students, I advise taking a closer look at an unfamiliar face with odd-looking ears next time he goes down the hall.

that yes, they do have opinicms.

We on staff wish we knew why nobody likes to talk. Maybe students here are still too young and self-conscious to state their opinions. Maybe all those kids need is a few more years.

But peiliaps the SW problem is indicative of a bigger problem. Are people in general less willing to be singled out than they once were? Nobody is qualified to answer.

With overpopulation and general crowding, maybe people are developing an abnormally great desire to conform. In a

crowded place, it's best for the group if each individual is uninitiative, dull, and sedentary.

Those individuals don't take up much room by moving around.

They don't bother other individuals.

Though this idea belcrngs more to H. G, Wells than a scientist, maybe human nature is becoming less curious and more passive to compensate for overcrowding. Maybe humans will eventually turn into dull, unimaginative people.

Or maybe kids just don't like to see their names in print.

elusion that, even if Maine South is not the number one school, it is still an excellent institution offering almost everjthing for today's student.

Son City Expands to 3 0 0

by Ellen Kukulski South Park is manufacturing kids! Every Wednesday at 7:20, almost 300 kids head from South Park Church to South Park field.

The kids meet at 7 p.m. and sign up on a team — Blue, Red, Yellow, or Green — depending • on who brought them or who claims them. At 7:20, the teams head for South Park field, where . they engage in activities ranging from relay races to jungle baU. Dave Holmbo, Minister of Youth at South Park Church, heads the program along with Bill Heibels. Located at the church, 1330 S. Courtland, Son City was organized five months ago by the South Park Church Youth Group. Bill commented, "We felt it was God's vrill for the group to expand, and so it did."

Youth Group members went out to their friends, acquaintances, and even enemies to the next meeting. Before long, the group of 50 grew to 300.

Not only does Son City offer activities, but members also have an opportunity to share how their lives have been changed by Christianity. In addition, they also listen to speakers.

Polly Hubbell '75 stated, "When the speakers talk, they enlighten us on how the Bible can be involved in our lives right now, in 1973."

Don Counsins '75, Red team captain, stated, "You'll see the same faces week after week, but you can always meet 50 or 60 new kids."

Dave Holmbo describes the group as "not limited by race, religion, or nationality. Anyone can come, and they will receive

Some Movies Worth Seeing The past few days, I've been ' scrounging around trying to see as many movies as possible.

The only three worth mention' ing are those that still may be showing by the time you read this.

A Touch of Class is one film that is worth seeing. The two characters, George Segal and Glenda Jackson, are perfect as a zany New York couple. The craziness that flows is delightful. WhUe the viewer might laugh aloud at only a few lines, the movie as a whole isn't a side-splitter, but it does leave one with an " u p " feeling when , the movie is over.

Paper Moon however, is a more intense kind of comedy „ and follows punch line with either another punch line or a chase sequence. It's a lighthearted story of a bank robber and a bratty kid, set in the depression and beautifully done in black and white. It is also an excellent movie.

However, better than either

one is M'A'S'H. My stomach ached, and it wasn't from nausea. If you like the TV show and aren't offended easily M*A*S*H is the movie for you.

Elliot Gould and Donald Sutherland are superb as "Hawkeye" Pierce and "Trapper John" Mclntyre. This award-winning movie is possibly the funniest ever. Go see it.

Haas Resigns Bert Haas '74 resigned as Parliamentarian for S t u d e n t Council. Following his resignation, Tim Kelly '75 was appointed by Brad Stach. Student Council President, as the new parliamentarian.

Bert stated, "I resigned for two reasons. The first was my committment to other activities, and the second was that I do not consider Student Council a working organization. Student Council is nothing more than a rubber stamp."

the warmest welcome they've ever experienced. You can meet a person, and in minutes, they make you feel as thougn you've always been there. A greater group of guys and girls you'll never find. Love radiates in every one of their faces and lives."

Nancy Moore '75 exclaimed, "All the love that I hold in my heart is only there because of one man, Jesus Christ."

Jim McCauley added, "If you're looking for something new and interesting, or if you just want to see that what's been said here is true, come to South Park Church next Wednesday night at 7 p.m. I'd love to meet you."

only the second Hawk team to ever qualify for the sectionals."

The two top Hawk runners in the district meet were Dave Senf '74 who finished sixth and Mark Straub '75 who finished ninth. Coach Kilcullen commented, "The amazing thing about this is that there were about 112 other runners at the meet and two of our five finished in the top ten."

This year's sophomore harriers finished their season with a slate of 7 and 4, including a fifth place conference finish.

The freshmen took sixth in the Central Suburban League with a record of 5 and 6.

"Mike Sandrock and Steve Senf were our number one and two runners. Mark Engeln was also in there for us. Senf and Sandrock were consistently our top performers and a l w a y s placed in the top ten spots at our big meets," stated coach Drennan when questioned about his top runners.

"Sandrock and Senf consistently ran better than average, they broke the standing course record this season. Sandrock finished eighth in conference and Senf was ranked seventh. Senf individually took third at the Maine West Centers Meet out of 25, and second at the Niles West Invitational out of a field of 22 teams.

Officially, the cross country season is over, but the Hawk harriers will compete in one more meet at York high school.

The Hawks will meet York and

one victory was scored over Niles North by a margin of 4-3.

They suffered losses to Niles East 3-4, Deerfield 2-5, Maine West 3-4, Glenbrook North 3-4, and Niles West 3-4. The three individual victories of the October 18 meet against Niles West were obtained by Annette Charuk, competing in the first singles group: Barb Baumgartner and Mary Anne Dinanno, in the first doubles group; and Cheryl Ruyak in the second singles group.

A brighter aspect of the team's season was the October 13 State Qualifying Meet, held at Arlington High School. As a team, Maine South accumulated enough points to acquire first place in the Qualifying rounds.

Harriers End Year On Upswing The Maine South varsity cross, country team have finished their season with an 8-3 conference record, good for fourth place finish in the conference and an 8-4 overall record.

The Hawks closed their season with a 27-28 loss to New Trier West, a 26-33 win over Glenbrook North, and a 25-30 upset victory over second place Maine East. Dave Senf '74 placed first in both wins, finishing with a time of 14:33 • against Glenbrook North and a 13:05 mark against Maine East.

In the district meet the Hawks , placed fourth with a total of ' 81 points. However, they were only six points out of first, Niles West finishing with 75 points and Maine East and Maine West tied with 76 points each.

Dave Senf '74 finished first in this meet, becoming the conference champ with a time of 14:18 for approximately 2.9 mil of running. Other finishers were Mark Straub '75 with a fifth place finisn and a 14:43 time.

Norb Lyle '75 who finished 22nd . with a 15:06 time, Tim McNamara '77 finished 25th at 15:12, and Bob Grant '74 finished 28th at 14:15.

Palatine in time trial events of one and two miles.

When asked how he thinks this year's squad will compete on the varsity level, Mr. Drennan commented: "1 think our top three or foiu- runners will fit in nicely with the varsity.

I think Mr. Kilcullen can look forward to another good season with the reluming juniors and the sophomores. 1 think they will have a definite shot at the conference title."

Mr. Young was speaking to Mr. Mike Holzman's accelerated Government class during a seventh period telephone interview on Oct. 34.

Because he was called away for voting on a bill, Mr. Young wasn't able to answer all the questions. He did, however, answer many of the important ones.

Candy HaU asked, "If the people felt differently than you, how would you vote?" This caused great dismay on the part of the Congressman. He replied, ". . . there is no way for me to tell how the majority of the people would feel if they knew all the information available to me . . . I would still have to do what I thought best

for the people."

When asked what his opinion was on the firing of Chief Prosecutor Cox, the Congressman said, " . . . I feel it got out of hand . . . I'm sorry he discharged Cox. I think he (Cox) was doing an affable job." However, the Congressman remained in limbo when questioned on such important issues as impeachment, his salary, and his campaign promises.

Representative Sam Young did say that out of the three schools he had talked to on his Watts line, the students of Maine South asked the most thoughtful questions. He also congratulated Maine South for being named the top high school in the nation.

Soph Gridders Fare Well

by Marty McGrath The Maine South sophomore football ieara can be expecting a good, rough and hard-hitting game tomorrow over the unbeaten Deerfield Warriors. The sophomores have compiled a 5 and 2 win-loss record thus far under t'le guidance of head coach GJen Van Proyen. Mr. Van Proyen accredited t h e squad's fine performance to the strong defensive play to the defense. The defense has recorded five shutouts this season.

Defensive star Lindy Miller '76, commented "Our ends have great ability to turn the outside plays in, allowing the linebackers and interior lineman to pick up anyone who comes near the middle."

South has been especially tough against the pass. Rick

Hader, defensive back stated, "We are reading the opposing offenses very well and the line has been putting a lot of pressure on the passer."

Last year as freshmen the team was almost an exclusively ground oriented offense. This year, however, has found a fine passing quarterback in Gaydon Brandt, who has been highly effective with his many excellent receivers.

Mr. Quitman SuUins, sophomore end coach commented on the team's receivers, "Potentially they could be the best group we have ever had here at South. They have good hands and speed, plus they're hard workers."

Mr. SuUins, commenting on the tight ends, "Len Nowiki has done an outstanding job for us.

He's as good a blocker as we have and has fine speed," Mr. Sullins finished by saying, "Kevin Brennan, our other tight end, has also done a tremendous job. He has great hands."

Quarterback Gaydon Brandt also talked about the passing game. "The air attack forces us to loosen up against the run, it also gives us plenty of time and provides more potions to mix the plays."

Tomorrow's game will be the telltale battle of the season for the Hawks. Line coach Cliff Adamo stated, "I've been impressed by these boys' ability to hit and work together as a unit." These traits, coupled with spirit, sweat and hard work will make this the best football game of the season on any level.

SOUTHWORDS

Gridders Face Warriors "We feel that Maine South is one of the inost capable teams in the league. We have a lot of respect for Maine, they're a fine football team. The Hawks are coming off two wins in a row. South will be up, we expect the game to be a real challenge for us." That's how Deerfield coach Paul Adams rates the Hawks. State-ranked Deerfield will be the last opponent for the resurgent Hawks this season, kicking off tomorrow at Wilson Field.

Defense has been the key to the Hawk success in Maine's last few contests. Niles North, West and East have all felt the wrath of one of the CSL's toughest defenses in the last few weeks. Desoite the Homecoming loss to Niles North, the Hawk defensive unit has been the deciding factor in the team's performance. Time and time again, especially against Niles West and East, clutch plays by Hawk defensemen have turned ballgames around.

Deerfield coach Paul Adams win be concentrating on the Hawk backfield. "There is a great deal of speed in the Hawk backfield, their quarterbacks Flanagan and Patterson are fine passers. We will be doing a lot of pass defense and will try to contain Walsh and Zdeb. We esoecially want to stop their big fuUbacks, Dorman and Gill. We will have to play one of our better games."

"Defensively," added Adams, "when we play Maine South we are always very well preoared, they have always had fine defensive teams. That's a credit to Bob Schmidt."

On Deerfield's strong points.

"The impressive thing is that we haven't lost. As far as the team is concerned, there is no special formula, it's just a group of guys who execute, play well and have some speed and intelligence," commented Adams.

On key performers of the team, ranked seventh in Illinois by the press services. "We don't have any one individual star, we have 22. We play 11 offensively and 11 defensively."

Coach Bob Schmidt is imnressed bv Dee-field. "I think Deerfield is a well-rounded baUclub, they have a good defense and a fine offense. They have depth and a powerful attack."

Mr. Schmidt will have his DeerfieH's success is their defense. "They do put a lot of points on the scoreboard, but I feel their real strength lies in the Warrior defense. They haven't given up many points at all, they average one TD a game and have had a few shutouts."

However, despite the awesome strength of the Deerfield attack, Mr. Schmidt is optimistic.

"I think that on anv given day we can beat anybody. Our defense is coming of age and instilling confidence In the boys.

The defense is making things happen, recovering fumbles, interceptions, rushing the punter and gaining good field position.

They have done a fine job."

The Hawks will have their hands full with the triple threat attack of Deerfield. "It's going to be tough to key on any one player. They have two good halfbacks, a good fullback and a strong passing game. We feel they will w-ant to keep the ball on the ground; they will throw

when the situation warrants it."

When questioned on individual efforts by particular Hawk players, Mr. Schmidt stated: "Game in and game out Kip Zdeb has done an outstanding job in the defensive secondary. Ed Frick has done a great job at tackle.

John Wuehrmann, probably a rather unheralded ball player, has been the guy who has always been in the right spot at the right time for us, breaking up several plays."

"Offensively," added Schmidt, "our two fullbacks, Dorman and Gill, have done a fine job for us on our traps. The play of the offensive line has been good, juniors Brian Conn and Kevin O'Brien at guard have done a fine job. Of course the steady work of Tim Starck at center and Dan Murphy at tackle has been excellent. Dave Hood has added substantially to the blocking."

Niles East coach Mickey Ewing, victim of the Hawks' last victory by a score of 13-6 in last week's mud at Niles, had a favorable impression of the Hawks. "I'd say they had plenty of tale-H. their backs are far better than ours. Upfront, I feel the Trojans from center to end were better. Defensively South had a couple of nice linebackers."

Ewing also concentrated on stopping the potent Hawk running attack. "We thought we had to stOD their running backs Zdeb, Walsh and Dorman, especially from the Power I. I feel we were rather effective. I thought we had South, we had all kinds of chances to score, but we couldn't put it in, due to our own ineffectiveness."

Socmen Fail in District Meet

by Bob HUdebrand The varsity Hawk soccer team ended their season by taking second in district finals. The team narrowly missed moving into state competition; losing to Maine East by the score of 3-2.

Maine East was seeded first in district competition this year and came into the finals riding on an impressive string of eight victories. At the season's start East had lost three straight games but then tied the Hawks in a 0-0 deadlock. .After that they surged to the top and reeled off their string of 8 victories.

The Hawks weren't intimidated by the Demons, senior Ken Matuck scoring first in the first period on a penalty kick.

South gained the shot opportunity when East was penalized for a handball in the penalty area.

Mattuck struck again in the third period when he placed an indirect free kick into the De-

mon net, after the East goalie was oenalized for holding on to the ball too Icmg. Before Mattuck could place the goal, however, someone else had to touch the ball first. So Marshall Austin rolled the ball one circumference before Mattuck proceeded to score.

Unfortunately, it wasn't enough in the close game and Maine East's senior Louie Masong, scored the winning goal.

In Coach John Tilly's words it was " . . . a very fine shot.

He (Louis Masong) was fast breaking and beat our fullback, got a step ahead of him and although he's rightfooted, he shoots just as well with his left, the shot fell in from quite a ways out. He came in so fast the goalie never had a chance to play the ball."

Coach Tilly, when questioned on the seeming late season collapse of the state-r a n k e d Hawks replied, "I thought we

The Hawk defense p r ^ a r e s to stop Niles West back Paul Blakely. J i m Cox (75) and T i m Starck (51) prepare to make the tackle. M i k e Sellergren, Bob Conrad, John Wuehrmann artd Ed Frick pursue.

Dlayed fairly well both Thursday and Friday: we were just outnlayed on Friday, but it was a close enough game. It could have gone either way with some breaks and a few more shots, we could have pulled it out.

They had eleven shots to our five."

Before they played Maine East the Hawks whitewashed Maine West 1-0 in what Coach Tilley termed "a gcne'-ally routine game . . . fairly even otherwise. The only dangerous situation was when they were given a penalty shot, which they mi'iscd. That was the only potentiallv dangerous scoring opportunity West had."

When asked about the toughest opponents played over the course of the season, Mr. Tilley rcRlied, "Well, I'd have to say it was Maine East. We also played Niles West. They were ranked higher at the time than Maine East, we lost to them 2-0. It'i- hard to say who will be tough next year. Maine East is losing a couple of their very best scoors. We'll have nine returning lettermen."

South had two players elected to the / ll-Conference squad of the CSL; Seniors Dave Krumweido and Ken Mattuck. Dave played right inside forward and Ken was the left halfback. Two other players, Tom Zdeblick and Dan Foster at back and at goal, respectively, made All-Division teams.

In summary Coach Tilley added, "On overall record we were fourth i.i the CSL, in division wc placed second. Marshall Austin, a junior, will be the only returning goal scorer that we will have back, the rest of our scorers having graduated. I'm very pleased with the season considering that we won only one contest all last year. To win games this year was quite an accomplishment."

Niles halfback Paul Blakely feels the brunt of the Hawk defense. J i m Cox and T i m Donovan make the tackle. John Wuehrmann, Ed Frick and M i k e Petricca join in the festivities.

All in the State of Mind; Soccer Loss Predictable

by Dan M c G r a t h , Sports Editor

The Hawks this season have won four of seven games and yet have scored a total of only eight more points than our competition. Two of our three losses were by one , touchdown. We have had only one bad loss this year, to state ranked Evanston. Our team has consistently stayed close to our competitors.

The Hawks have been able to match our opponents ' score for score, in the latter half of the season especially.

With a team the caliber of Deerfield, it will be a signal accomplishment if we stay as close to them as we have to our other foes.

If the team is again capable of doing that, and with the defense's ability to capitaUze on the errors of oiu- opponents, we could very well upset Deerfield.

Maine South has not received wide pubhcity by papers other than our own because of low scoring games and small margins of victory. Deerfield is our most significant opponent of the year. They are unbeaten in seven games. If Maine South is mentally up and Deerfield is over-confident, a few breaks and our proven ability to stay within reach could result in a disappointment season close for Deerfield and an end to their title hopes. Attitude could make the difference, it would be a smashing victory.

• The Socmen's loss to Maine East last Friday evening was a disappointing close to an otherwise excellent season. The Hawk's late season nose dive was evidenced in the district outcome. Hopefully, next year the Hawks will once again be among the top teams in the state. With the talent they have, it is possible for a state championship next year.

• Congratulations to senior trainer Dave Wood on his standing ovation from 2500 Glenbrook South yo-yos. Dave was giving a speech on Key Club.

• Special thanks to the .IV cheerleaders for braving the elements and darkness at last Monday's contest against the Niles East Troians. It was appreciated.
