Editor Receives Tfianks Dear Editor— We could never really exnress how grateful we are to have had such a dedicated and hardworking Editor-in-Chief. The best possible way to show our appreciation is to publish for everyone to see, what you have done to make this paper what it is today. Carrie, without you, the paper would have flopped way back in September. You never gave up. You constantly bugged the editors about assigning stories and assigned some yourself. Without your perpetual nagging the editors would have probably never assigned enough stories. You even wrote many stories yourself throughout the year. You put up with the editors coming to your house to do layout. You were always available to do someone's layout if she couldn't. You did much copyreading, which really isn't the Editor-inChief's job, and you always went to the printer's to make sure the paper turned out prop-

erly. In fact, you were available to do anvthing that needed to be done. Southwords would have never made it without you. Thanks!

Memories of School Should be Left Behind Only a few more days until the seniors graduate.

And many of us are beginning to feel a little sad about leaving this school of ours.

A couple of months ago, it would have been hard to find one senior who wasn't counting the days until graduation, who wasn't absolutely positive that he wanted to leave Maine South far behind, who wasn't ready for the big step.

But now there are many who are fondly looking back at all the memorable experiences this school provided.

The thrill of the basketball seasons, the pride of our No. 1 rating, even the anxiety of the big walk-out back in 1973.

With all the reminiscing these days, I hope there isn't too much fear mixed in. Of course, it's normal to feel a little apprehensive about the future, but as John Armstrong had said: "Our greatest good, and what we least can spare, is hope; the last of all our evils, fear."

Department Award Girls' Physical Ed Cairy Saltwell

Department Award Science Robert J u c k e t t

And dwelling too heavily on the good times in the past only serves to increase the fear of what's ahead.

Memories of high school should be retained, but our thoughts should be more of plans for the future, of goals As former students who have returned to our school have said, situations change so much in even one year; some even felt like strangers in their old alma mater.

And so it is in many circumstances. The past can be remembered, but never lived over again.

Whether we care to admit it or not, a new life is beginning for us the day we graduate, and we will set out to find new friends, enjoy new interests, accept new challenges.

Carly Simon had the right idea when she sang "these are the good old days," but then again, so are a lot of tomorrows.

tinued to pull many interesting sports stories through this year too.

As a senior. Ken directed his interest toward still another field — the stage. He performed well in this year's V-Show Trunk and also in the dance chorus of Oklahoma.

Dave Gibbons The records of the football and wrestling teams might not have been as commendable as they were without the continuous efforts given by Dave Gibbons.

Working in an often thankless job, Dave managed the football and wrestling teams for four years. .\s a freshman, Dave was the freshman football manager and the sophomore wrestling manager.

When he was a sophomore, Dave managed the sophomore football team and the varsity wrestling team, and for the next two years, he worked hard as manager for both the varsity football and varsity wrestling teams.

Dave also became a member of M-Club as a sophomore.

During his senior year, he was officially named Sports Photo Editor for Southwords because of the many sports events he photographed for the paper's use.

Dave's cooperation in the sports area of both Southwords and the athletic department deems him worthy of the title of unsung hero.

Paula Piasecki The job of News Bureau Editor-in-Chief is a job which gets almost no praise because few people even know what the job entails. Compliments or not, Paula Piasecki handled a difficult job with skill and efficiency.

Paula was responsible for sending articles and pictures to the local newspapers every week. Working with a fairly small staff, Paula managed to send more copy to the papers than ever before.

Despite Paula's involvement with News Bureau, she continued to participate in many activities. Not only has Paula been a violinist in the concert orchestra for the past three years, but she also displayed acting talent as a member of the V-Show cast for two years.

Marlin was a major activity in Paula's life for the past two years, and she also spent her first three years at South working on GRA. Paula was initiated to National Honor Society this year, was a senior leader, worked on Southwords as a junior, and became a member of Quill and Scroll Society last year.

Joann Takehara Considering Paula's many accomplishments, we think she should be remembered as one of South's heroes of 1975.

Joann Takehara Although Joann Takehara was often seen offering her help backstage, she must have spent a lot of time with her nose in the books too because not only is Joann one of the top students at South, but she also has done well on the national level. She was named a National Merit Finalist on the basis of a high score on the PSAT exam and also received a National Merit Scholarship.

Joann was producer of VShow in both her junior and senior years, assistant stage manager for Kismet, and a member of many crews during her four years at South. This year Joann acted as both Student Council V-Show Chairman and secretary of National Thespian Society.

Showing her athletic interest, Joann was a senior leader and a member of GRA during her freshman and sophomore years.

Adding to her long list of talents, Joann also has an excellent singing voice and was a member of Glee Ensemble, Treble Choir, and Concert Choir.

We've chosen Joann to be an unsung hero because we feel she has many unrecognized

qualities of which both she and her feUow students should be proud.

Tim Kelly Although in the words of Dan McGrath, ex-President of Student Council, "Tim Kelly was our most active member in terms of number of bills proposed," Tim seemed to receive little recognition for the amount of time he put into Student Council.

Tim joined Student Council in his sophomore year, and during his membership, he became complex leader of C-134; was appointed Chairman of the newly-established rights and responsibilities committee; rewrote rights, responsibilities, and the constitution; and was one of the leading SC student rights legislators.

Tim put his speaking talent to good use when he became a debater in his freshman year.

Winning awards even then, Tim was initiated into the National Forensic League that same year. As a senior, Tim became one of the best debaters at South.

In performing on the debate team and in Student Council and also in acting as manager of the freshman football team, Tim was able to spread his leadership qualities to many areas of our school.

Graduates Leave More Gifts Behind We, Marilyn Pluta and Paula Piasecki, being of "acid-base" minds and chemically unbalanced bodies, do hereby bequeath the following to our beloved Mr. Schmidt: one pompon girl with matching color legs, a year's subscription to a porno magazine of your choice, 1001 ways to cut up girls successfully, a box of addition and substraction flash cards, eight "accelerated" sophomores who bring down the class average, a matching shirt ond tie, and finally our maids and butlers so you can say you live in Park Ridge too.

Ready for Summer

by Laurie Freeman By the end of the fourth quarter two things are apparent — final exams and summer.

Since most students would rather think about summer than finals, the following is a list of ten ways to prepare for summer: 1) Clean out your closet and drawers. Many may hear this constantly at home, but it is about time those ski sweaters and long underwear are stored away. It should be noted here that a large net and baseball bat should be within reach to thwart anything that comes crawling out of your closet.

2) Now that you have your closet cleaned, you should think about updating your summer wardrobe because your "Keep On Truckin" T-shirt might not survive the summer. The first thing to do is make a pair of cut-offs out of the jeans which cause many people to ask you, "Where's the flood?" when wearing them. Cutting off jeans can be tricky though. It is advisable to make sure one leg is no more than 2'/i inches shorter than the other leg.

3) If your tastes are more chic and your wallet is bulging, you can buy halters, tank tops, and pre-faded cut-offs at near by clothes stores, it you can find them in-between the 1976 winter selections. A cheap variation is buying a package of three boy's white undershirts and dyeing them exotic colors.

Just don't get caught in the rain.

4) While you are at the store buying summer wear, it is a good time to get the other summer necessities. A typical list would be: suntan oil, lotion, or sunblock, lemon juice (to find out if blondes really have more fun), mosquito repellent (so you don't have to spend all of July scratching your epidermis, even if it means smelling like 6-12), and sunglasses (or shades as nifty people call them). Aviator and big, plastic round frames are popular, Sad to say, horned-

rims aren't too vogue this year.

4) Another prerequisite for summer is getting a late spring tan. This way, when you go to the beach to get a summer tan, you won't be as white as the lifeguard's hat.

5) Once cut-offs and halter wearing days begin, most girls feel obligated to shave their underarms and legs, seeing that all winter was spent hairy.

6) The opening of pools and beaches is reason for rummaging through the basement in search for flippers, water wings, and inflatable ducks. Last year's bathing suits should be tried on, even though they usually are out of style or don't fit. Then, of course, there is the case of one senior girl who found her seventh grade swimsuit, and to her dismay, it still fit her in all areas.

7) Bicycles should be dragged out of the ruins of wherever you keep them for your summer jaunts. Prepare yourself for the initial walk to the gas station to fill up your underinflated tires, and expect the attendants to laugh when you completely deflatfet hem while trying to fill them up.

8) Find a summer love to keep you company while watching reruns or to help you establish a prominent lemonade stand. (Don't laugh, it might be your last resort with the lack of summer jobs.)

9) Plan a vacation, even if your family doesn't go on one.

This doesn't have to be an elegant trip to a faraway place like Topeka, Kansas, just somewhere outside of Park Ridge, like Des Plaines. This is so you won't feel out of it when your first EngUsh theme assignment in September is, "Where I Went During My Summer Vacation."

10) As much as this last presummer preparation is contrary to the opening statement, it is best to study for your finals, just so you won't have to spend your summer going to summer school.

To the unsuspecting person who will sit in the first seat, first row in French IV Ace, the understanding that you must constantly nod your head if class is to continue. And to my successor on Southwords, Kim Kumeiga, her very own stylebook and the hope that all paragraphs will be indented two spaces.

To Mr. Hopkins, the book. How to Be an Individual and Still Keep Your Country Accent plus the latest J.D. hit — "Thank God I'm a Country Boy."

MVP's Announced by '75 Teams Bob Mikos The Hawk grapplers this year chose senior Bob Mikos as their Most Valuable Player. A two year letterman, Bob led the wrestling team to a 9-6-1 record and fourth place in the conference. He captured the 138 pound championship in the district meet. Also contributing to a successful year was his selection as an aU-conference honorable mention wrestler.

Throughout the whole season Bob helped carry the weight of leadership with captain Paul DiFranco. Coach Ziemek said "Bob was a real team leader.

He was strictly a team man.

All four years here he was an excellent worker. He was one guy you never had to ride."

Craig Martin This year's gymnastics team was led by Most Valuable Player Craig Martin. For the second consecutive season, Martin was the leading Hawk scorer in meets and top competitor on the parallel bars and all-around events.

Craig broke several of his own records this season. Martin established a new personal and team record for the parallel bars with an outstanding score of 8.8. Craig also set a new high in all-around with an average of 8.3. Martin was the key factor in this season's successful year and placed as the sixth best gymnast in the CSL, regarded as one of the top two gymnastics conferences in Illinois. Craig performed downstate this season, and is a good bet for a top ten ranking next season.

Mark Sellergren Senior Mark Sellergren was elected by his teammates as ,Most Valuable on the varsity track team this year. The Hawk's champion sprinter and relay runner, Sellergren's skill and speed in many track events helped him become the most consistent and highest Hawk scorer.

Mark was conference and district champion in the 100-yd. dash, setting a new school and conference record with his time

of 9.8. A member of the conference champion 880-yd. relay, Mark set the pace as the relay's fastest runner. Sellergren traveled downstate this year for South, missing a berth in the championship race by half a step and leading the relay to a tenth place state finish.

Andy Bonk The varsity fencing team chose junior .Andy Bonk as their Most Valuable Player for the 1975 season. Andy led the AStrip formation which gave the Hawks another fine downstate showing at Champaign.

Andy recorded the best individidual record in conference play and then went downstate to place fourth in state competition at Illinois. Out of 39 bouts, Bonk won all but five.

Aside from his record. Bonk was picked by his teammates because of his hard-working attitude Ray Becker The Hawk varsity golfers chose jimior Ray Becker as their Most Valuable Player for the second consecutive season.

Ray led the Hawk golfers with an average of 75 and placed third in the individual conference standings. Ray's efforts were a big part of this year's golf drive for a sectional drive, the closest yet for a Hawk team for downstate championships.

Kendall Banks & Dane Kozie Swimming this year was led

by Kendall Banks and Dane Kozie, the state-ranked swimmers who were named Co-Most Valuable Players by head coach Art Johnson.

Kendall Banks qualified for the state finals in the 220 yard freestyle and also swam state qualifying time of 23.2 for the 50 freestyle.

Dane Kozie, swimming freestyle, butterfly and backstroke; swam state qualifying times his sophomore and junior year in the 200 Medley.

This year he swam state qualifying times for the 50 free, but missed going downstate for backstroke by four one hundreths of a second.

Pete Boesen As a senior in his third varsity season Pete Boesen reached the culmination of an outstanding basketball career here. He led the Hawk cagers to the "Sweet Sixteen" of the state tourney and a 24-4 record. He averaged 23 points and 15 rebounds a game. In his three years of varsity action he scored 1,315 points, a school record.

His selection as Most Valuable Player was only one of the many honors he received this year. Besides being namel unanimously to many all-area and all-state teams, Pete received two special honors. He was selected captain of the Chicago Daily News All-Area team.

Coach Quitman Stillins remarked "I think Pete has a great future. He'll have a very good chance of starting at Northwestern next year. He has a great attitude and it's very easy for other players to follow a player of his caliber Tim McNamara The varsitv cross country runners selected sophomore Tim McNamara as their Most Valuable Player. Tim, in his second season as a varsity runner, established himself as one of the conference's leading runners. Fifth place in the conference, Tim gives indication of being one of South's best track men.

Marshal Austin The varsity socmen selected their senior star Marshal Austin as their Most Valuable Player for 1974. Austin was cocaptain and field leader of this year's very successful soccer team. Austin totalled nine goals and three assists from his wing position on this year's varsity.

Austin was a key player in this year's post season tourney for soccer, contributing some essential assists in the final games. Austin was voted to the Central Suburban All-Conference team for his fine performance this year.

Mike Sellergren An overwhelming choice for football's Most Valuable Player was Mike Sellergren. Mike played defensive back and wide receiver for the 5-3 gridders.

He led the secondary in tackles and was the team's second leading receiver, nine of his receptions coming against Deerfield. Coach Schmidt described him as "a standout against both

the pass and the rush," "one of the hardest hitting backs we've ever had," and "vicious."

Mike was named all-conference in both of the last two years. His overall athletic versatility reflects his versatility on the football field: he has also played basketball and baseball for the Hawks for the last two years. Next year he will be attending Northwestern Joe Pagone Joe Pagone was chosen by his teammates as the Most Valuable Player for this year's 11-9 varsity baseball team. This talented athlete also competed for the Hawk's as the starting guard of the sectional basketball champions and as a member of the football team.

Joe compiled an admirable record as the third baseman for the Hawks these past two seasons. Pagone played a particularly strong second half this year, helping the Hawks win five of their final nine games

in an otherwise disappointing season. An All-Conference selection last season, Joe was one of the top fielders and hitters on this year's club.

Don Kopach Junior Don Kopach was selected as this year's Most Valuable Player for the Hawk varsity tennis team. One of the varsity tennis team. One of the star's on last season's team, Kopach blossomed into the most consistent winner on this year's highly successful varsity team.

One of the young players on the squad, Don won more games than any other member of this year's 11-4 varsity team.

District champion in the first doubles competition and third singles champion in the Central Suburban League, Don was decidedly the most improved player on the team. Don traveled downstate with Doug Bergeson this year for South and won several matches before being eliminated.

Mike Sellergren Mike Sellergren was elected as the Maine South Athlete of the Year for 1975 by his fellow M-Club members today. Mike, the Most Valuable Player of the football varsity, was the outstanding performer of this year's 5-3 squad. Mike was named to the aU-conference team and was the field captain of this year's outstanding Hawk defense.

The team's finest all-around player, Mike ranked high statistically in pass receptions, tackles and total yards. A solid basketball player noted for his defensive skills, Mike was a key man in the Hawks' stretch drive in post tournament play.

If for nothing else, Mike Sellergren will always be remembered for those two freethrows in the first overtime with Evanston that paved the way for an eventual sectional title and Sweet Sixteen ranking.

Mike was a competent fielder and is a good bet for all-conference selection. The M-Club this year surely has made one of the best choices in its history of outstanding athletes.

Sue was a key member of this year's volleyball squad, a team that won state-wide recognition for a series of devastating wins in the Maine West District.

Doubles Pair Lose to NE

The Hawk tennis team concluded one of its most successful seasons with the Illinois Tennis championship at Arlington. With South's disappointing setback at the district meet two weeks ago, the Icme Hawks wlio were eligible to compete was the doubles team of Don Kopach and Doug Bergeson.

True to form, both played well enough to rank South as the state's twenty-ninth best team.

Drawing a bye in the first round, the twosome beat a solid Murphysborough team 62, 6-0 in their first matdi. The team continued to win early in their next match, but were eventually defeated a 6-1, 6-4.

Arlington's Wei and Weazel played a powerful serve game to beat the Hawk combination.

In the consolation brackets, Bergeson and Kopach played well in their first match, beating a Molinet team 7-5, 6-2.

But the pair then lost to NUes East 6-4, 7-5, blowing a 5-2 lead in that second set. Neverthe-

less, the twosome collected 3.5 points in the state meet. Elmwood Park, co-champion and team representative of South's district, placed ninth.

"Elmwood PaA's success shows just how important that loss in districts was for us," remarked coach Les Kent. "I think we could have done just as well if our team traveled to ArlingtOTi as a imit. I thought Bergeson and Kopach played weU." "It was our most successful year in a very long time, we finished the season 11-4," commented Kent. "We were consistently strong all season. I think the only lowpoint in an otherwise outstanding season was the district meet."

"The team this year was well-balanced and relatively even in talent. The key to our success was the presaice of a team effort. But individually, the Kopach brothers and Rich Anderson have to rate as our most improved players this

season.

South will lose most of this year's talent to graduation.

"Next year will definitely be a building one for us," stated Kent. "Don Kopach and Ray Emerick will be our only returning starters. After that, we're not very strong.

"Joe Hester and John Condon should do pretty well for us. I think the help is going to come from the sophs and freshmen, in fact we might even start a few freshmen next year. Other players to watch Bill Muno, Mike Nelson and John Thomas."

Diamondmen Conclude Season Winning two of their final three games, South's baseball Hawks concluded their spring season with a slate of 11-9. The victories placed the Hawks in fourth place in the Central Suburban League with a 6-7

Sport Scene'75 Bright

by Dan McGrath, Sports Editor In reviewing this past year's sports events, it can be proved that we were participants in one of Maine South's most successful years. A colorful sports historj' w a s enriched in a year of individual successes, and some memorable teams.

Every varsity team Maine South fielded this year finished the season with a better t h a n .500 record. Only Glenbrook North and N e w Trier West can boast the same this year. However, in m a r k e d contrast with last year. South won only one conference title this year. W i t h the addition of New Trier East, W a u k e g a n and Evanston next season, conference title will become even more difficult to win.

Best of all, was the Arlington Sectional Basketball championship won by the Class of 1975. Those March days will long be remembered as some of the most exciting ever witnes.sed by Maine South. The n a m e s : Boesen, Sellergren, Chrzan, Kuntz. Pagone, Henderson and Crosby will all share special spot in this school's history, as will the fans who supported them.

On the whole, this year was super for South. It will be difficult for this year's teams to be equaled by the next's. 1975-76 will be a year of surprises and hopefully, plenty of wins and titles.

gren, Duke Vogel, Eric Anderson and Bill Grupp clocked their best time ever also. The foursome ran the half-mile course in 1:30.3, .1 faster than their new CSL record. The effort was .3 seconds out of a final berth. Duke Vogel ran a disappointing 23.0 in the 220-yd. dash, perhaps out of disappointment over the relay's standings.

Vogel's conference time of 22.4 would have met qualifications.

record. South smashed Niles North and Glenbrook North, but fell in the season's final contest to a powerful Maine West team.

At home against Maine West.

South blew a 2-0 advantage and lost 6-2. Tim Snow produced a two run triple in the third inning against the Warriors, placing South's pitcher Gaydon Brandt in c o m m a n d . But Brandt couldn't do much when the Hawk defense went to pieces in the fourth. An infield error coupled with two more outfield errors paved the way for a four nui Warrior fourth.

Hosting Glenbrook N o r t h , South smashed the defending state champs in what many of the players termed the finest game of the season. "We could have played that way all season long if we could have produced as a team," commented one Hawk., The Hawks manhandled the 16-3 Spartans with a five run

first inning where the wliole Hawk lineup partook in the festivities. South had the most help from junior shortstop Tim Snow who slashed three hits and turned two raUy-ending double plays to seal the win.

While knocking the Spartans out of the conference title race.

South played plenty of under classmen. Ralph Russell pitched the distance to win his first game of the season. Phil Pawlowski, Mike Sellergren and Pat Moroison collected two hits apiece for the Hawks.

At Niles North, South had two big innings in a 5-2 divisional victory. Catcher Mark GaUer singled in three runs in the second inning and Mike Sellergren clinched the game with a fifth inning two-run homer.

"An 11-9 record is a good one for many schools, but not Maine South," admitted coach George Verber. "Our attitude during the season was good, but we just didn't produce."

Sports Scene '76 Looks Mixed

by Dan McOrath, Sports Editor

The following feature is a forecast for next year's sports program, based on my observations of this year's underclassmen, the coaches, returning lettermen, scheduling, and the new realignment of the Central Suburban League.

Here's the outlook for what should be another fine season of sports: • The varsity football team will have to rely on plenty of help from this year's sophomore conference champions. With the departure of the bulk of South's fine line and defensive backfield and linebacking corps, sophomores will probably have only John Carroll and Tim Zimmermann as established players. The offensive backfield is superb with Pete Nagle and Rick Hader, but South will need a quarterback. Should become a seasoning year for a potentially outstanding team in 1977.

• Crosscountry should be in a good position for another fine season next year. MVP Tim McNamara will be back, along with outstanding harriers Steve Senf and Mike Sandrock. This year's Hawks were hurt badly by injuries and illness, and if Coach Kilcullen can keep this group healthy, South could make a run for the divisional title.

• Maine South missed a conference soccer title by one game for the second consecutive season this year. South played to a fine record of 7-3-2 before bowing to Maine West in the conference championship. Next year's team will get plenty of help from the upcoming sophomores and returning lettermen Brian Eberle and Pete Chambers.

• Golf was another team that just missed a divisional title. MVP Ray Becker, one of the conference's leading individual golfers will return along with Vic Kaczkowski and Mark Stiggleman.

These experienced players should lead South to a respectable showing.

• Coach Quitman Sullins will begin his second season as Hawk basketball coach without a single member of this year's sectional champion. That shouldn't bother South though with two very rich junior and sophomore classes coming in and South's winning tradition. The big challenge will be in the expanded Central Suburban League.

The new schools and the improving league will no longer be a Maine South practice league.

A great deal of responsibility rests with Russ Schmelzer, his development will be the key. Brian Malloy, Jim Briars and Tom Barr will be important. Plenty of talent exists with the sophomores, but some attitudes will have to change if they are to contribute. The Hawks will play solid ball in a building year.

• Wrestling was down from the Hawk's finest team ever, the 73-74 divisional and state ranked Hawks. South may slide more next year, but the Southmen may rally if they can bolster their lower weights to a par of other CSL schools. Kurt Fiech will be the premier returning Hawk and will form the base with John Carroll and Dale Jenkins. The question will be if this year's juniors and sophs can equal the Big Three of Brian Gill, Jim Cox and John Carroll.

• The gymnastics outlook is very bright. The only thing blocking South from a title is that they are in the CSL, the toughest league in the state outside of the Mid-Suburban. Coach Higgins will welcome back state-ranked MVP Craig Martin and Bob LeMay, Bob LoBue and Brad Claire.

South will be hurt by the loss of talented Rob Wright and sectional finaUst John Davis.

• South is losing plenty in swimming this year; co-MVP's Banks and Kozie, John Andrew, Don Wilhelm, Hank Schulthesz and Jeff Leigh. Paul Okamoto and Keith Thurnell should be the leading swimmers for South. The Hawks usually field a very experienced varsity, this will not be the case next year.

• Fencing will be in great shape next year, welcoming back MVP Andy Bonk and Dale Franke. Both placed fourth in state and will be a leading candidate for state champion next sea.son. This year's team was almost exclusively juniors, so next year should be a fine one.

• Baseball should improve markedly next season, if they play to their potential. This year's leading pitcher Gaydon Brandt will return and should prove a test for CSL batters. Hardhitting Mark Galler will be an excellent catcher and shortstop Tom Snow will return to anchor the infield. Hitting will have to come from the sophomores, and Rick Smith could be a big help in that department.

• Track will be a question mark, depending on the ability of the sophomores to develop. In the past few seasons. South has been rich on the track but destitute on the field, this trend will have to shift if South is to overcome Maine East and West. The sophs should prove equal, being indoor champions this season and undefeated in dual meets. The big loss will be this year's graduating sprinters: Sellergren, Vogel, Grupp, Anderson and Hermes. The Hawks will be competing under a new coach, John Kilcullen.

• Tennis will be busy rebuilding from this year's superb season. Don Kopach and Ray Emorick will be the only stars in an otherwise colorless season. Should be a transition year for some very talented freshmen netters.
