Future n e e d s effort
M.S. bids Dean intf good bye
Four years ago, approximately 800 nervous midgets (at least most of us were), arduously worked our way through the endless registration and book line in the cafeterais—our first, major step before becoming real-live freshmen. High school was a new stage for all of us, and in four, short years our new plateau which had seemed an eternity has suddenly ended. Depending upon the person, high school was either a positive experience or a flop. Those who gained nothing from Maine South are the losers.
by Marianne Schmidt After 15 years as dean at Maine South, Miss Roberta Iliff will be retiring. In addition to her 15 years at South, Miss Iliff taught math at Maine East and served as dean at Maine West. Miss niff did her undergraduate work at Illinois Wesleyan University and graduate work at the University of Illinois. Her future plans include traveling and enjoying a more leisurely pace of life. Miss Iliff also mentioned spending winters in a warmer climate. When asked if she has enjoyed her work at Maine South, Miss Iliff replied, "Very much." In her relations with students, Miss Iliff found that most students are willing to comply with rules that are necessary. Miss Hiff added, "Most students realize that certain rules are necessary when dealing with 3,500 people under one roof. There are some students who don't appreciate the opportunities they have, especially when they're freshmen and sophomores. Many seniors say they wish they had started taking their work more seriously sooner." Regarding Maine South, Miss Iliff commented, "I can't imagine a school offering more opportunities to students.
Now we will all begin a new kind of life be it travel, college, or jobs. No matter what each of us chooses to do after high school, we cannot just glide along and let the days slip by. Instead, we have to become participants in life. We have to give our all in anything we do in order to acquire self-satisfaction, to better society with much-needed, honest, and positive individuals, and to influence those younger than us with our actions. High school graduation is the end of an old stage and the beginning of a new one. We can make our futures rewarding and meaningful if we try.
A special unsung hero We, the notorious editors from Southwords hereby bequeath to our fearless leader Mr. Miracle-Worker, Mr. Debonair, Mr. Southwords himself—Mr. Ken Beatty, the Blue Heart Valor award for rescuing us at the printers during the times we arrived with 20 inches of copy instead of 60. We leave one slightly demented Scott Erikson who was unfortunate enough to have been influenced by our zaniness for an entire year. We leave a wall-size poster of Warren Beatty. We leave Marianne Schmidt's soon-tobe-published book, 10 Easy Ways to Becoming Foxy. We leave the hope for a walking partner and a date to next year's Senior Prom. We leave you a three-week paid vacation to the nearest insane asylum. (Plead insanity Mr. Beatty—it always works!) We leave an assorted supply of studs and rhinestones for your trenchcoat. We leave you a supply of softballs so you can improve your golf game. We leave six tired typewriters. We leave a definite layout plan for the tables and chairs in V106. We leave one Barbie and one Ken doU complete with golf attire. We leave you a ruler to swat the mysterious hands that seem to find themselves in the paperwork on your desk. And finally Mr. Beatty, we leave our sincerest thanks for being such a terrific
sponsor and person. We will miss you K.B.!
By that, I mean in regard to preparing students for colleges, universities or good jobs in the business world." Miss niff also said, "The parents here want the best education available for their sons and daughters."

Senior w i l l s . . . I.Trish Fitzsimons, being of punctuality and absent-mindedness; do hereby leave the following to my friends: To Mary Jo I leave my rules of the road book plus a guide to more courteous driving. To Sue A. I leave my chair in Gordie's band and my seldom played clairinet. To my cousin Pugsley, I leave a book on etiquette and the name of a good plastic surgeon, (joke). To Bill Stillwaugh I leave my home permanent kit. And, to Jim Ingolia I leave my reputation for always being late for which all my teachers greatly admired me. To all my soon to be senior friends, I leave my best memories and all the luck of the Irish.

byDanWUte, Editor-in-Chief Exactly four years ago as the "Upper Classmen" of junior high school, we, the present Seniors, were about to make a transition to a new and completely different Education called high school. In three months, as Freddy Freshmen, we would again be low man on the pole looking up at an endless sea of moving bodies. There was a certain uneasy feeling on that first day of freshman oreintation and testing. We pondered, "If high school is like this; not being able to read the schedule because of that screwy module system and those dragging tests, then I'm never gonna get out of here. I sure don't want to go through this torture again." In a couple of weeks, we could get to all our classes without whipping out the confusing, handy-dandy schedules. Time wore on. It more or less ground on. Soon however, we were again confronted with a new exi>erience similar to that dragging first day — Finals !! Oiu- mood changed with the seasons. As spring and summer steamed forward, oiu* title as Freddy the dumb Frosh, vanished. Now, we didn't have to worry about being the low man anymore. However, we still had a lot on our mind. It was always a pain to watch the iupperclassmen cruising while we hopped on our bikes "to cruise." One year later, as sophomores a lot of us became involved in extra curricular activies. From the sporting to the theatrical spectrum, we realized that "there was something for all of us." We also met many people who eventually became friends. The Summer of '77 rolled around and so did thoughts of getting that card which gave us the keys to our dream — the car. In the fall of Junior year, we headed out of that bogus study hall routine and into the loimge. A spirited time of the year. Homecoming, was also just around the comer. Some of us probably would have preferred a date with our neighbor's pet goldfish, wlule others "had the best time." Junior year was gone. Then suddenly as Seniors, we realized we didn't^ look up to anyone anymore. What we admired three years ago as the "superior place" to be was actually where we were. We realized that in this fourth round bout with high school, this was to be the last leg. With this thought in mind, some of us worked hard and had fun, while others of us preferred not to. To those who preferred not to do anything but vegetate life seemed like a real downer. Most of us now are anxious to break the chains and show we can make it on our own. However, we musn't hide what has given the Class of '79 the ability to help make it in society, that is a little old school called Maine South.

Spanish students Win national honors byNoreenKeane On March 24, the National Spanish Examination took place at Lyons Township High School. The contestants offered stiff competition from all over Chicago and Suburban Schools. The contest consisted of both oral and written tests. Only the most qualified students were selected by their teachers to participate. Among the contestants of Maine South that participated were Mary Callahan who took first place on the fourth level and Luis Fernandez, who took first on the third level. Others who placed high from Maine South were: Kate Nesbit, Barb Eagen, Lydia Gonzalez, Marisa Saisakom, and Donna Wallace. Prizes were awarded by the American Association of Teachers of Spanish and Portugeuse. First place prize was attending a Spanish camp in Wisconsin at Georte Williams College where Spanish was the only language allowed spoken. Other prizes for the contestants were money, trips, books and medals.
Banquet to be held by Kathleen Buckley On June at six o'clock in the student cafeteria, students who provide various help in school offices will be honored at a service banquet. Students who gave their time to help in the deans' office, health office, the P.O., the main office, the library, attendance office, and A.V. room will be attending the function. Each student shall be given a mounted certificat. Each certificate was hand written by Miss Bloomfield, and mounted by Mrs. Matousek. Unlike the traditional baseball game, the banquet will be more lasting for students. "When you get students who sacrifice and give their time to help the school to function, we feel we should give our time to recognize and honor them properly," explains Dean Andrew Bitta. He goes on, "We wanted something they could take with them, something lasting." A turkey dinner with all the trimming will be prepared by the cafeteria workers. Dr. Watson will be the main speaker, and Dean Bitta will act as host. Every parent of the honored students will be mailed an invitation to the banquet. They may purchase tickets at ^ each, as may any other student who wishes to attend.

Barbara Beile, Maine South senior, has been accepted into the Career Discovery Program sponsored by the Harvard Graduate School of Design for the summer of 1979. The program covers the areas of architecture, landscape architecture, and city planning. Many people are attracted to the design fields without firsthand experience in the realities of these professions. What do architects, landscape architects, and ctiy planners do in their jobs? What types of interests, abilities, and preparation must they rely on for success and satisfaction in their work? Career Discovery Programs help students find candid answers to these questions while they test their aptitudes in a challenging academic environment. For all participants in the Career Discovery Program, facts and solid experience have replaced precon-
ceptions about architecture, landscape architecture, and ctiy planning. Barbara plans to study architecture at Iowa State University next fall after she has completed the Career Discovery Program.

Education Association for 3 years. Mrs. Stuart has been instrumental in the development of the professional growth plan. By this plan teachers would receive schooling to keep up to date, and they would be allowed to travel. This means that the faculty as well as the students would benefit from this growth. One memorable experience Mrs. Stuart had was when Maine West was just being built. In order to get from one room to another, she had to step over pipes and boards while teaching at West. Her plans for retirement include travel. Mrs. Stuart would like to visit in the East, Far East, Antarctica, and Africa. She had been to Europe several times. Alsp she would like to visit Alaska and Hawaii. In closing, Mrs. Stuart said, "I am deeply interested in seeing students progress according to their abilities. I have appreciated the Maine system, and I will miss the students and my faculty friends."

South AFS students to travel to Europe, Asia, Australia by Lisa O'/Connor Through the American Field Service Anne Qark, Mark Curtis, Mike Hyyler, Kate Nesbit and Sue Rebedeau will each spend 11 weeks of the summer in a foreign country. Carolyn Quinn is also a finalist and may still be sent abroad. The Maine South chapter of AFS selects students each year. These students are ultimately selected at AFS national headquarters in New York, but first they qualify through a series of local interviews and regional screenings. Mike Huyler was one of the first guaranteed finalists to learn he would be sent to Australia. Mike's host family will be a father who is an accountant, a housewife mother, two sisters ages 7 and 10, and two brothers ages 12 and 14. Mike's home will be just outside of Melbourne. He will attend a private high school with an enrollment of 14,000 that includes grades 7-12. The sports and activities open to him
will be net ball, basketball, gymnastics, swimming, tennis and soccer. When asked what his expectations of Australia are, Mike replied, "In many ways Australia is like the United States,with small differences; they speak English (with an English accent), it's about the same size as the U.S. (with a popularion of only 13 million), and theydrive on the left side of the road. It will be different going to a private school where I'll have to wear a uniform. But I'm goingto Australia with an open mind. My host family called me last week— they sound like very nice people." Kate Nesbit is looking forward to an exciting trip to Indonesia. She will be living with two parents, their six children, and three cousins—the childrens' ages range from 9 to 20. Because Indonesia, like Australia, is in the Southern Hemisphere, she will attend school during their "winter" season (with temperatures ranging between 75 and 90 degrees). Her family was
described as being, "happy, humorous, informal, noisey, and tolerant" (much like her own, she commented) and her activitues will include sports, picnics and traditional dances. Kate is excited about her trip. "Indonesia is supposed to be a beautiful country; in fact, many Europeans go there on vacation. Also, the country is civilized—I'll be staying in a two story house with bathrooms and bedrooms — it's not the jungles of Viet Nam. I've been warned that the country has many conservative attitudes, especially towards women; I'll be wearing mostly summer dresses that aren't too revealing, and if I wear shorts, they'll have to be 'bermudas'. Another difference is that the country is Islamic." Anne Clark was informed that she will go to Switzerland, but she does not have other information yet. But she did describe why she is interested in the AFS program. "I wanted to travel to other
AND LASTffOTA/orl£ASr..
countries to find out about other cultures, but also to discover new careers. I thought since I'd be seeing a whole new life style, I could learn what I'd really like to do." Anne also described her reaction to the news she would go to Switzerland. "At first I wasn't thrilled. I thought that I wanted to travel to Europe, but the more I thought about it, I thought that I could see tourist countries anytime, and that it would be better to go somehwere really different. But since then I've heard some really nice things about Switzerland, like how clean and beautiful it is, and now I want to go." Sue Rebedeau knows that she'll be going to Portugal, but nothing about her family yet. The Portugese lanuage is a mixtue of Spanish and Itlaian, and since Sue understand the basics of both these languages, she expects to enjoy learning the new language. She will also have a great time since it is summer there too. iOU ffiObJ, sort DAf U)H£M 1 tit>\ SACK, \ AT 7»li Z /»/6W Jl/iT UM.

"George Verber holds a masters' inter-related. They should put more degree in education which has provided emphasis on bringing grammer school, him with a thorough knowledge of junior high, and high school kids into modern trends and techniques in related programs so that as they move
along there aren't big shifts in the type of coaching that they receive." "One thing that I would like to start is a summer program like we have here at South," said Coach Verber. "Off season practice is really an integral part of becoming an excellent athlete." When asked how he felt about leaving Maine South, Coach Verber replied, "In all my teaching and coaching here at Maine South I have received 100 percent support from the faculty, administration, and the students. I've made a lot of friends and that's the toughest part about leaving. But I believe that the friendships I've made will continue even though I'm going over to Maine West, "In my first seven years here at South I coached under Mr. Brady and I gained a lot of experience with him. He was actuaUy one of the main reasons why I started teaching here at South. "Mr. Van Proyen was also a great help to me when I started coaching baseball. I already knew all about the game of baseball, but he showed me how to use that knowledge to teach the kids the proper way to play. ' 'For the past four years I have worked with Mr. Sullins in the basketball program, and the last two years I have been his assistant on the varsity level. The knowledge and experience that I have gained by working with Coach Sullins will be extremely beneficial in
my coaching at Maine West. "By working with these three people, said Coach Verber, "I believe I've worked with three most knowledgable people involved in basketball and basebaU today." Commenting on Mr. Verber's new appointment. Coach Sullins said, "George is one of the hardest working coaches I have ever seen. Maine South will miss him." Mr. Verber was also head varsity baseball coach for six years and summer baseball coach for five years. During the regular season, Mr. Verber's teams were able to capture the conference championship, three second places in conference, three district championships, one regional championship, and one sectional final spot. During the summer program, his team's won conference three times and made it to the semifinals in 1975 with a record of 244 and in 1974 with a record of 22-6.
Huyler, DeYoung named Athletes of Year Julie Langdon and Ley Sheflott Choosing an Athlete of the Year for both boys' and girls' sports is not an easy task. There are many outstanding athletes, as demonstrated by the large amount of MVP's and outstanding athletes elected this year. We have had many fine teams here at South this year, and picking just one boy and one girl from all those sports is in no way a simple job. He or she should have the determination it takes to be number one, the athletic ability needed to excel in sports, and, above all, a sportsman-like attitude that makes he or she stand out from the rest of the competitors. The name of this year's recipient of the Girls Athlete of the Year is on the Maine South girls' swimming record board four times. Her 200-yd. freestyle time was first placed there her freshman year and has remained since. She is Virginia De Young. Prompted by her brothers and sisters, Virginia commenced her swimming career at age nine on the Park Ridge Swim Qub. Her hard work and dedication has been rewarded in her four years of varsity swimming at South. Participating on the state championship team her freshman year in 100 and 200-yd. freestyle, Virginia finished seventh and fourth respectively in those events.
In her senior year, as team captain, Virginia received a third place in both the 200 and 500-yd. freestyle events. Impressive footnotes include the facts that for four years, she has been named to the all-conference and all-state squads. In dual meets, Virginia never fell to another competitor. Virginia does not intend to pursue her completitive swimming any further, although she may utilize her talent through coaching. The choice for this year's athlete of the year was difficult to make because of the many fine senior athletes on the ballot. Having to choose just one the Maine South M-club chose Jay Huyler as the recipient of this years award. "Our athlete of the year award is going to an outstanding boy preformed very well in three sports this year. He's weU deserving of this honor," said Mr. Bemie Brady, Boy's Athletic Director.

Coach George Verber
by Scott Erickson Well it's that time of the year again. Time to take a look at what happened last fall and what just might happen this fall. Next fall could hold many surprises for some of the more skeptical sports fans here at South. So let's take a look at what the future might hold for the football, soccer, cross country and golf teams. One thing that must be remembered about next year is that all of the teams here at South will be in the new Central Suburban North Division. This could affect each team in different ways, but in the long run, it will make it tougher for most of the teams. One team that it will affect is the football team. Coach Schmidt said, "Now we'll be up against tougher teams like Deerfield and New Trier East. But our boys have already started weight training and we'll be in pretty good shape." The team should have a very good year with retmning juniors like Mark Paulik, Dan Murphy, Joe Belmonte, Don Salemi, Joe Di Cola, Dan McGovem, and Bob Christie to name a few. "With Salemi at tailback and Di Cola and Belmonte in the backfield, we should do all right. We also have Paulik, who was All Conference center last year. The only problem I can foresee is our defensive secondary and with a little work we can fix that up," said Coach Schmidt. Next fall's soccer team will also have some tough competition from the new division teams. The team will now have to go up against powerhouses like Evanston, Highland Park, and New Trier East. Now, however, they don't have to worry about the Glenbrooks or Maine East. The team will have many returning juniors such as Mitch De Ciccio, Mark Dudko, Kurt Wessel, Steve Stavrakus, Dave Hepburn, Jeff Dano, Marty Fitzsimmons, Kevin Pilarski, and Mark Curtis. Talented sophomores as Mickey Zdeblik and Damien Fitzsimmons wiU help to round out the team. The main problem the kickers will have to face is the lack of an experienced goalie and a strong defensive line. But the strength of the forward and halfback lines will help to compensate for the lack of defense. The cross country team will be losing its superstar Dave Mau. But the team should do all right with talented runners Dave Phillips, John Lunde, John Whaley, Tim Crowe, and Pete Kladis. One main opposition for the team will be Maine East and their superrunner Paul Baffes. But with the help of the upcoming juniors and seniors, the Maine South cross country team should again turn in a respectable season. The golf team is another team that will be losing its superstars Bob Bean, Dan Corcio and Tim Ellsworth. But the team should have a lot of depth with players such as Steve Heinol, Jim Naatz, Mike Huyler, Ross Piepho, Bruce Johnson, and Roger Gunderson. All in all, next fall's team's should have good seasons even though the change in divisions mil mean a change in competition. But isn't that the way it should be for the Maine South Hawks?
