Enjoyment in P.E. is a Dept. goal

by Katie Reif Let's face it—school is here to stay and it can be as pleasurable as we make it.

Gym is supposed to be a fun class; one period a day to get away from the books and do something you enjoy. The class you take should be one you are interested in. It doesn't necessarily have to be something you excel in but perhaps an activity you would like to learn to do better.

Electives in P.E. began five years ago for girls, two years ago for boys. Sophomore girls (sophomore boys started electing this year) juniors, and seniors had the privilege to select the class they wanted. All freshmen have just one class with many different activities.

Here's how Girl's P.E. went five years ago. An announcement would be made stating the time registration would be held. It was usually 6:30 or 7:00 in the morning. Seniors had no priorities; whoever arrived first had their choice. The reasoning behind this was that the students who really cared what their elective was would come early. Those who did not care would come at their convenience or not at all.

This system changed after a few years.

The crowds got out of hand and there were too many people at one time. It was then decided tl^t classes should be chosen during the gym periods. Seniors would be given the privilege to choose first, juniors next, foUowed by the sophomores. This year it is the same except that in each class it is run alphabetically senior, when it is your turn, your first by last name. choice is usually filled up. Worse yet, if There is one problem. If you aren't a you are a sophomore and in the last half of the alphabet all your choices are usually gone. You are left with one of the Pep proves they care "I-got-stuck-with" classes, such as swimming or coed scuba.

coming much more popular. Boys and girls are beginning to compete in different sports together. Why not start in P.E. classes?" Ms. Pierce also went on to say that by far the swimming classes were the least popular.

"We have good gyin facilities here at Maine South. We are expected to use everything, including the pool. We started scuba hoping that it would appeal to more students instead of a regular swim class. The problem seems to be having it in the morning or the middle of the day.

There is such a rush to get dressed and to your next class. And for girls, what to do with straight wet hair for the remainder of the day. Most students would not mind a swim class the last period."

The more popular classes are field sports, tennis, dance, jogging, badminton, yoga, and softball. Yoga is a new class which is also coed.

So what do you do, now that you're stuck in a class you really didn't want?

From my own experience, if you're in scuba learn to move fast and get the easiest hairstyle possible. If you don't like dancing, try to think ahead to the Prom when your partner tells you what a great dancer you are.

Make an effort to enjoy what you're taking. What was your last choice may turn out to be something you really like.

Ttudt: Vfm li eml (d M(S?

by Debbie Gann, Features Editor How often do people trust or put confidence in the actions and words of others? Here at Maine South, trust is an important part of making the school function to its fullest capacity.

To have trust in a person implies belief that the actions are true to the words. If a student asks for a pass to the bookstore, then the teacher has trust in that student that the bookstore is his destination. After abusing this trust, the right to go to other parts of the building is often denied.

The impression that the offending student gives to a teacher and his peers is important. As often as homework is exhausting and possibly unimportant in the student's opinion, a there is definite plan that the teacher had in mind when assigning it.

A teacher has trust in students to put the needed effort into the assignment. After putting more faith into actions of teachers, students would develop a better understanding of them.

This same application of trust can be paralleled to the administration.

Sometimes rules that are beneficial are difficult to understand, but if students had more trust that the rules were made to correct certain situations, rather than to prevent more freedom, so much more could be accomplished.

There is also another side to trust—teachers and their trust in students.

When a teacher does not have faith in students, there exists a gap in the rapport between them. Until a student has proven that his word is not true, he deserves a chance.

At all limes, and under all situations, the administration should see if students can get along with the least amount of rules. When problems arise because someone has abused a privilege, action should be taken. The most important point being is that there needs to be trust in students who will respect what privileges they have.

Trust is a very important key to relationships between students and teachers. When a teacher trusts a student, the student needs to make sure that heJoUows through on his word. If not, the privilege may not be extended in the future. Teachers need to trust students unless otherwise proven otherwise.

The administration needs to have faith in the student body following rules.

Having trust in each other would bring a greater understanding to all at Maine South. \ioo sufte /ouK StfiTHfK ' J 5 THE81 My- AixJ UHiRE IS IT W^/TTfA' UILL ^lAlp If 'A>UI'il^T ONL OUT Viefll njAi LCANr TAKE uWfl WHO LJ'LL Go r WAA/T TO A ^^06L to H(-rf\t<"mtf^(, DAA/f £ P

Homecoming Memories

Fifteenth Homecoming arrives

by Mary Callahan Why classes are held on the Friday of Homecoming weekend stiU remains a mystery. The majority of the student body is mentally absent. Then the anticipated weekend passes too fastbringing forth tired but happy-looking faces to roam the haUs of Action City's favorite school the following Monday.

The locker room, the cafeteria, the classroom, and the library all become chockfull of carbon copied conversations...

"How was your weekend?"

"Great!"

"How about yours?"

"Fantastic!"

ETC....

But don't you ever wonder? WAS the weekend really that perfect?

What if you forgot to buy film? Five minutes before your date arrives, you discover you only have one picture left on the roll of exciting vacation pictures taken in Cold Creek, Arkansas.

What happens if a cheering parent spilled his coffee on you at the football game? While the Hawks ran to the ten yard line, you fought your way to the bathroom to wash off—only to discover that the school was safely locked.

Of course, the carnival must not be forgotten. Where else can a person have his closest friends pool their paychecks to keep him locked up in jail all night? And

a few brave teachers really must enjoy having their favority students dunk them into a cold, slimy tank.

Where else can you knock your brains out trying to figure out who sent you the "I love you. Signed, Anonymous" telegram?

So this weekend for the fifteenth t i m e Homecoming. Surely a time to laugh and certainly a time to remember.

In repay. sponse to this, the union president stated that Nortran was breaking the law by refusing to negotiate their contract.

When asked if there were any plans to help the 35-40 per cent of Maine South students who take the bus, Mr. Simonson, the Assistant Principal, stated, "We couldn't do much more than post a list of people willing to car pool in order to aid students in getting to school. Renting buses would be too expensive."

So, while Nortran officials and bus drivers sit with their feet up, you better hope for warm weather.

FORUM What constitutes a good teact^er?

Ted Bales '82

Paul Gin '81

By Jack Shanahan There are two television shows on this season that feature teachers in the plot.

In "Welcome Back, Kotter," Mr. Kotter is an easy-going teacher who gets personally involved with his students. The other show, "Paper Chase," features a law professor who expects nothing but the best from his students and does not concern himself with their problems. But which of these types is the better teacher? The question in this week's Forum is, "What are the qualities that constitute a good teacher?"

Ted Bales, '82, responded, "A good teacher should have a sense of humor, and be able to relate to you. He should also realize that you get homework in other classes besides his and that you can't spend hours on homework. Finally, he said, "a good teacher must also be ready to help at any time and not get grouchy."

Paul Jin, '81, jokes, "A good teacher is one that doesn't give homework. But, seriously," he continued, "a teacher should make class enjoyable as well as

by Marianne Schmidt Homecoming is tomorrow, and most of us are looking forward to the Homecoming we know. But what was Homecoming like a few years ago? Three faculty alumni were asked how Homecoming had changed since the time they attended Maine South.

Mr. Joel Morris, a '69 graduate presently a social science teacher, replied, "We don't do float-building anymore.

Float building used to be at the students' homes, but it was supervised. Then it was changed to the Field House, and finally eliminated a few years ago in exchange for the carnival. The carnival has been extremely popular. Also, the parade through Park Ridge used to be a much bigger thing and much more widely attended."

Mrs. Judy Stone, another '69 graduate now teaching French, commented, "It seems like more kids are going now than three or four years ago, but it still isn't like what it was when I went here. Homecoming was the big deal! Float building was an open invitation to every class.

Someone had to volunteer their front lawn, and a lot of people came. The seniors always won the best float. It was almost like a tradition. The first year the seniors didn't win was the year I was a senior."

Miss Karen Brocker, a '71 graduate now teaching business education, said, "We didn't have the carnival. When we had Homecoming, we went to someone's house to build the float. Each class had their own pep rally at the house where the float was being built. The carnival is

more fun, and there's more to do with all the different booths. It also raised money for the school."

Miss Brocker was able to explaine some of the differences in the queen candidates, because she was a finalist herself. ""The Homecoming finalists were announced in a different way. All the pictures in the library window were taken down except for the pictures of the five finalists. The Homecoming ceremony, dance and assembly are still the s a m e still traditional."

When asked if there is as much enthusiasm now as there was then, all three teachers agreed there was not.

Mr. Morris responded, "No, students then were more school-oriented rather than work-oriented. It has become less fashionable to emphasize school spirit."

Mrs. Stone answered, "No, it's improving, but I don't thing it'll ever be the way it was, because kids have changed.

Not that many people had jobs before.

This has changed Homecoming, because more people now work after school."

Miss Brocker concluded by saying, "When I went to school here, we spend all of our free time with school activities.

Now it seems kids do other things after school—work, parties, etc. I thiiik they are missing so much by not participating in all the activities, clubs and sports programs this school has to offer.

The beat goes on

by Steve Kurtzer There is a lot of record and concert action occurring in the next couple of weeks.

First off. Yes's new release entitled Tornado follows their two very successful Amphitheater shows.

Frank Zappa will bring his zaniness to the Uptown Theater for two shows on September 29. On October 17 and 18, Bob Dylan will show off his writing and performing expertise at the Stadium.

This concert will contain new songs from an album scheduled for release in late fall, as well asother songs Dylan is best known for. For the first time in more than five years, the Moody Blues will make an American tour with Chicago scheduled for November 10. Tickets go on sale October 9.

Lynyrd Skynyrd's "new" album entitled Lynyrd's First and Last, which contains material recorded in 1970 and 1971, is bound to be a tribute album of the year. If you like old Skynyrd, you'll love this album. If you like more recent Skynyrd, you'll have to listen to this album more than once in order to get into it.

Choice cuts include "Down Home Jukin'", "Wino", "Comin' Home", and "Was I Right or Wrong?"

The local supergroup, Styx, who are coming off of a super album. The Grand Illusion, has done quite a job with the follow-up album,"Pieces of Eight."The group's style remains the same, but the basic listening quality of the music is proving. The best song on the album is "Blue Collar Man" (I^ng Nights). Other cuts that deserve to be checked out are "Great White Hope" and the title tune, "Pieces of Eight."

Barb Kellberg '79

informative because otherwise, you get bored."

A junior. Bob Kay, said, "A teacher should be dedicated to helping students succeed. They should motivate you to do your best, but not push you past your limitation. Good teachers should also be interesting so kids don't fall asleep on them."

Representing the senior class. Barb Kellberg answered, "In my opinion, the most important quality a teacher has is understnading. Often, misunderstandings could be avoided if the teacher just gave a student a minute to explain himself and give a valid reason for something he's done. Unfortunately, in our busy schedules, no one usually has time for understanding."

So here are four opinions, each similar but stressing different qualities. There is no definitive answer because obviously, a third grade teacher can not be as demanding as a college professor, yet both can have the same good effects on a student. Above all, a teacher should realize his students are human and so is he.

C.C. Men are trying hard

by Tom Sebastian The Maine South Cross Country Team has had an unfortunate beginning of their season this year. The loss of all the letterman from last year except for Dave Mau has hurt the team on the varsity level.

The varsity squad lost to Highland Park on September 12. Dave Mau placed second overall in the meet, giving a tremendous effort.

The team then ran against Waukegan West and Maine North in a three way meet.

They lost 19-39 against Waukegan West. Dave Mau once again put in a fine performance. They then went against Maine North and lost 21-40.

The next meet for the runners was against Maine East and Waukegan East in another three-way meet.

Against Maine East the Varsity squad lost by a score of 17-44. Running against Waukegan East, they lost by a score of 22-39.
