f Dave Dowming (Thoreau) and Dave Walker (Bailey) rehearse a tense scene in jail for the Arena Play, "The Night Thoreau Spent in Jail."

by Greg Stanton Maine Souths performing arts season got off to a dramatic start last night with the opening of this .years Arena play. "The Night Thoreau Spent in Jail." All proceeds from last nights performance will be donated to the Hal Chastain ."Vlemorial Scholarship program. Performances will continue tonight and tomorrow night and the 23. 24. and 23 of this month at 8 p.m. Tickets are available in the cafeteria, the bookstore, and from the cast and crew. The prices of tickets are $1.50 for students and $2.00 for adults.

The plot of the play revolves around the life of Henry David Thoreau. a famous author and naturalist, who is thrown in jail for not paymg his taxes. While in jail he reminisces about his past experiences through a series of . flashbacks. His beliefs m nonviolence, open schooUng. and transcendental powers become the basis for the storv. Thoreau '

also discusses how Ralph Waldo Emerson influenced his life as an author.

The part of Henry Thoreau is played by Dave Downing '76.

Other cast members include Kevin Kielas "77, as Emerson; Roz Baudensteil '76. as Lydian, Dave Walker '76, as Bailv; Cathy Walsh '76, as Ellen; and Pat Hennessy '78, as Thoreau's mother.

The play was written by Jerome Lawerence and Robert E. Lee and is being directed by Mr. Ralph Wagoner. Student directors include Patrice Henebry and Frank Fredericks.

Mr Vincent Pinelli, technical director, and his crew have provided an excellent but simple set that creates a perfect atmosphere fortheplav•The Night "That Thoreau Spent in Jail " promises to be an entertaining evening and a rewarding experience for the audience. As Roz Baudensteil '76 said, "What Thoreau was

preaching in the late 1800's is exactly what the young people of today want fl-om the society around them. "

Another feature of the day is the intended interview with State Representatives Eugene Schlickman. William Carrol, and Aaron Jaffe. State senator John Nimrod may also be available. The men are expected to be prepared to answer any student questions.

The group will go to Lincolns home and Lincoln's tomb. The home is the only one the President ever owned, and the original furniture is still there. The tomb is very beautiful and is surroundeil by parkland.

The students will have a bus tour of the city and guides will be provided in the capitol building.

A tour of the governor s mansion is included, too. Dinner will top off the trip, although the money will come out of the students' own pockets.

Campus Life to Start Haunted House What's filled with ghouls, ghosts and witches and makes your skin crawl? No, it's not the Maine South cafeteria, it's the Campus Life haunted house.

Yes, Campus Life is again beginning construction on their spinechilling haunted house which opens October 21 and scares everyone to death until the first of November.

Campus Life is a non-profit, non-denominational Christian organization with no set membership One of the purposes of the haunted house is to let people know that Campus Life exists so more people can become involved in it.

If you've given any thought to attending the haunted house this

year, you'd better make your plans now. Dave Veerman, a director of Campus Life, commented that "this year, with our increased publicity, we expect about 30.000 people" to go through the house."

This year's haunted house is staffed by another group of hardworking college students and Campus Life members. They will be working for two full weeks from 5 to 10 p.m.

For those who wish to attend the haunted house, the recommended way is to catch the Campus Life bus at Maine South at 6:30 p.m. on October 21. The bus will return to the school at 9:00 p.m. The cost for the whole trip is a low $2.50. That isn't much

when one considers that the total cost of putting the house together is around $10,000. If you can't catch the bus at school, you can catch the bus at the Treasury parking lot at the intersection of Route 62 (Algonquin Rd.) and Route 58 (Golf Rd.). The hours are from 7 p.m until curfew, with kiddie matinees on Saturdays (modified horrors). If you catch the bus at the Treasury, the cost is $2.00.

This year. Campus Life is adding a carnival for added amusement, from October 24 to November 1 at the Treasury lot.

So if you need a good scare and can spare the time, make your way to the Campus Life haunted house.

GIC Helps Plan The Career Resource Center has added a new Guidance Information Center, a computerized career and exploration system to further aid college and career bound students.

A Teletype printer, the computer can print out up-to-date information on 1.000 two-year colleges. 1.800 four-vear colleges, and 6.000 jobs. With the assist of the career counselor or student operator, students can add various criteria for the machine to research. The computer will then give an automatic read-out of the specified information.

To use the Guidance Information Center, students should make an appointment with Mr. Ken Reese. Career Resource Counselor, or one of the student operators. A worksheet must also be prepared, listing college preferences in order of importance. Such criteria as area of study, cost, financial aid, location, control — public or private — accreditation, calendar plan, religious services, athletic programs, and campus activities are just some of the sources the computer can obtain concerning colleges and occupations.

Still fairly new, the GIC arrived a month ago. It is hooked up to the main computer cooper-

ative located in the Administration Center on the corner of Devon and Dee across from the Forest Preserve.

According to Mr. Kenneth Reese. Career Resource Counselor, the philosophy behind this computerized system is to give students more knowledge of the occupations and.'or colleges they're interested in. Most students are limited in total knowledge of a college and the computer acts as an assist in career planning. Mr. Reese advises that a student and his counselor also discuss the computer out-put to further understand the information stated.

Still in the learning stage, the GIC has already helped 100 Maine South students. The other Maine schools also have this system in their career centers. I t s also being used in one Yorktown high school, two Wheaton, and two Hinsdale schools in the surrounding area.

Through this system, students can confirm what they already know about their interests or learn such things as hidden costs of a college. In all. the Guidance Information Center aids in the decision-making process students must consider when preparing for their futures.

Duties Take Time

by Margaret Kreppel Fast-food chain workers are often taken for granted. Pleasing customers is their main (or should be) concern, but they often get little in return for services rendered.

When a customer comes in, he or she expects a smile and quick service. Most times, these duties are carried out. Yet there are certain problem customers who are either very pleased or very annoyed but nowhere in-between. Some always complain about the food, employees' dress, bad lighting, or the delay in getting waited on. However, they always manage to come back for more. Die-hard regulars come in too. often because they don't have anywhere else to go.

And of course, the little old ladies and old men who speak nothing but Polish, German, or Spanish drop in now and then.

Besides waiting on people, cleaning up usually is part of the job. especially in small stores such as doughnut shops. Wiping off display cases, cleaning in front of and behind the counter, and sweeping floors all go into benefiting the customer and supposedly boosting sales. Thus, by continually observing such domestic chores, a thoughtful eater might buy more or tell others of the hard work done by the girls and boys in pink, blue, gold, or whatever.

Finally, no job would be complete without behind-the-scenes grievances. Some managers watch their employees' every move, while others couldn't care if they danced on table-tops and poured soft drinks on unwary

customers' heads. As for the pav. that wont make the hired help millionaires, or for that matter even a member of the lower middle class. The last shift, realizing the amount earned, leave without a fresh supply of paper bags. cups, napkins, and straws. As soon as the next team arrives, an onslaught of hungry teen-agers, middleaged couples, and thirsty kids will definitely come through the doors.

So next time when stopping for a quick bite to eat. don t be surprised if the girl in the neat but wrinkled pantsuit doesn't start singing and gleefully taking an order. She might not feel like letting customers have it their way.

Letter to the Editor

Dear Editor, Whatever happened to the redblooded American male at Maine South'* I realize that hundreds of couples will be at the Homecoming Dance, but what about the hundreds of girls who haven't been asked? Will they have to wait un-. til they're in an old peoples home? They must ask themselves that question while alone on Homecoming night, thinkingabout their friends at the dance.

Sure, its hard to ask someone, but its even harder for a girl to if one student carelessly parks over his or her line, the ask a guy — they're iust not supnext person repeats the error and it will go on the same posed to. Girls tiave oeen so connot to ask that they are way down the whole row often resulting in a mass num- ditioned too afraid to take advantage ber of parking tickets being issued. even of Girl's Choice.

Support Senior Class Get a Ticket

by Laurie Freeman Lately, parking at Maine South has been a headache to more than just the beginning Drivers Ed. students.

Many students and faculty have been having more trouble getting into a space properly. For those who think they are losing their sense of perfect judgment concerning pulling into spaces, get out a tape measure. It's not the drivers, it's the size of the spaces.

Mr. Robert Simonson, assistant principal, said that over the summer contractors redid all the parking lots and somehow managed to make each space a foot smaller than last year. There are no immediate plans or ideas to fix the problem.

Even with this error, a car can be properly parked between the parrallel lines. Of course, this can only be possible if everybody around cooperates, which doesn't happen too often. It seems many students will follow the "monkey see, monkey do" technique. In other words.

The only way to overcome this would be the logical solution of skipping a space from the offender and parking correctly in the next one over. Just stay clear of the violator and you will be safe from getting a ticket.

Tickets are constantly being issued for various violations including parking without a sticker, improper parking, parking in wrong lot, and reckless driving.

Fines range from $1 to $5, and all money received goes directly to the Senior Class fund. This is good, because next time I see someone parked on a curb in another aisle in the wrong lot, or going 50mph around the front circle, I'll know he is only doing this with hopes of benefitting the Senior Class with his parking fine money.

Mavbe Homecoming Dances and dates aren't special to you, but I know they are to a lot of girls. You boys owe it to yourself to ask girls out. Be courareous enough to take a risk instead of watting for the right girl to come along.

Time wont wait for you, and maybe the "right girl" won't either. Cmon guys, cough up a few bucks and make someone happy. Sincerely, Beth Bower

Susceptible to Boredom?

Watch for Dartger Signs

by Mary O'Keefe Boredom — it can strike anytime, anyplace, anyone. High school students seem to be especially susceptible. Fortunately, there are certain signs to tell if a person is on the borderline of extreme boredom. Once the problem is found and diagnosed, the cure is simple. A couple of days rest from school is all that is needed.

It is important to know if you yourself are on the verge of this dreaded disease. We offer some guidelines. You know you're really bored when— You anxiously await the excitement of the daily bulletin.

You start striking up conversations with the para-professionals.

Gym class really seems to be a stimulating and energizing experience.

You start working on next semester's term paper.

You leave a basketball game

during the overtime tie breaker during sectionals You start working out your own chemistry problems instead of using your partner's answers.

The thrill of your day is when you can play air hockey with your grapes at lunch.

You fondly recollect the days of watching your favorite soap opera on television.

You begin to calculate the volume of water in the pond during study hall.

A fire drill ends up being the highlight of vour vear at Maine South.

These are just a few indications that a person may be suffering from a true case of boredom. If you find yourself doing any of these things, please act quickly. This affliction can hit anyone, especially seniors. But seniors don't worry: it's only the onset of another dreaded disease — Senioritis.

Bobbie Socks, Saddle Shoes Give Way To Platform, Wedgies, Pianters Pants

by Sharon Burke Bobbie socks, saddle shoes, long skirts, and pony tails, times sure are changing and so have the dressing styles of students at Maine South.

Everything has changed: shoes, hair styles, dress clothes and 'bum around ' clothes.

Shoe styles have gone from saddle shoes and bobbie socks to platforms and wedgies. Now it is quite hard to find a shoe that doesn't have at least a two inch heel of some sort. Unless you are speaking of the earth shoe, which hardly has any heel at all. You can still catch an occasional glimpse of a Dr. Scholl sandal in the hall in spite of the cooler weather.

Hair styles have changed for both girls and guys. The girls' pony tail has faded in the last 10 years, and gradually shorter hair has come in. For the guys, the wet head" died a long lime ago, and some guys cut and style their hair now.

Skirls, which were once somewhat long, changed into mini skirts, which gradually grew back into a longer skirt. There seems to be more skirts being worn by upperclassmen, particularly in the past few years. Most of the skirts are from the lower knee to mid-shin,

while only a few years ago, miniskirts were the "in thing. " For just bumming around, there are overalls, painters pants, and good ol' blue jeans.

But for somewhere in-between grubbies and dress clothes, there are a lot of corduroy pants.

Sweaters seem to be coming in with the fall, and there will

probably be the heavy and thick sweaters in the winter. The 'layered look" isn't seen quite as often anymore, but it is still nice and convenient with cooler weather.

Fads come in and fads go out, but almost everyone agrees that nothing is better than a pair of faded, "lived in" blue jeans.

Spirit Dance Bridges Gap

by Ruth Buckley The usual five months hibernation that Maine South goes through between dances will be broken this year. The Senior Class and the Pep Club thought that something was needed to bridge the long gap, and decided upon January 17, 1976, as a dale for the Spirit Dance.

The week of the 12-16 will be designated as Pep Club's Spirit Week. During that week, there will be different kinds of things done to help everyone get emotionally prepared for the big night of the 17th.

On Thursday of that week, an all-school assembly has been planned. It will be combination of a winter sports assembly and of a promoter for Spirit Week and the dance following.

At the assembly, the Spirit Queen candidates will be introduced. There will be a queen from each of the three classes: Sophomore. Junior, and Senior.

The voting for the queens will be held on Friday, and the crownings will take place on Saturday night.

The Spirit Dance, contrary to popular rumor, will not be held in C-101, but will probably be held in the Spectator Gym. Dress is optional, but it is strongly recommended since it is cooler in January.

All of you cheapies are probably wondering why the regular wintertime sock hops were blacked-out. In the words of Martv McGrath '76, the Senior

Class Council "felt that the sock hops were a dying fad. The upperclassmen expressed a desire for a full dance schedule, as was the practice in years past. " A theme has not yet been decided upon, but it will probably include something to do with the "Spirit of'76."

Now its only 91 days between dances, not five months. So don't let your dance shoes get loo moldy or too dusty.

Patriotic Theme Keeping with the Bicentennial, the theme for the Maine South Homecoming is "Patriotic Memories. " Homecoming activities will commence with a parade which will begin at Cumberland Park at 10:00 a.m. and travel down Main Street to Prospect. The parade will continue to Belle Plaine, where it will head back toward Maine South.

The Maine South teams will be playing Glenbrook North on every level. The sophomore game will begin al 12:00 and the varsity game at 2:00 p.m. Between these games, the winning float will be announced and then the crowning ceremony will take place for the Homecoming Queen. Halftime activities will include the Maine South Marching Band and the Hawkettes. The Homecoming weekend will conclude with the Homecoming dance on Saturday night.

Hawks Face C.B.N. in Homecoming Came

by Richard Olson Tomorrow the Maine South Hawks will play their Homecoming game, battling the Glenbrook North Spartans The StateChampion Spartans have lost only once in conference and should be a tough opponent for the unbeaten Hawks.

Offensively, the Spartans will be quite a test for Maine Souths defense. Defensively the Spartans are outstanding. They have great pursuit and gang tackle. Heaa Coach Robert Schmidt points out another plus for the Spartans. ' Glenbrook North has a winning tradition and that has won a couple of

games for them this year and that "they are well coached and use good strategy.

On Friday night, the Hawks silenced the critics who claimed the Hawks were unbeaten because of an easy schedule. The Hawks beat highly touted Maine East in an exciting contest. 20-14.

Once more the offense was overpowering as it gained 340 yards.

Coach Schmidt commented that Both the offensive line and the backs blocked well as evidenced by our 242 yards rushing." That offensive line consists of ends Len Nowicki. and Keven Brennen. tackles John Carrol and Tim Zimmerman, guards Fred Krue-

ger and Bill Tornrose. and center RichSzaflarski.

The Hawks received the kick off and promptly began a drive for a touchdown, but defensive back Jay Baum of the Demons intercepted a Gaydon Brandt pass and returned to the Hawk 18 yard line. From there they carried it in to make it 7-0 Maine East. After the kickoff Maine South began another drive which was highlighted by a 19 yard run

by Rick Hader. a 14 yard pass from Gaydon Brandt to Len Nowicki. and a 20 yard pass from Brandt to Kevin Brennen. The drive was capped by a four yard run by Pete Nagle. who gained
