Social Science Dept. to select Junior students for workshop.

by Kathleen Buckley Two students from the U.S. history classes will be given the chance to participate in the Washington Workshop in Washington, D.C. sponsored by the Park Ridge Kiwanas.

The 1978 Washington Workshops gives two upperclassmen who are interested in history and government, the chance to see how the country's capitol really works. The participants will be able to meet and talk to congressmen and government figures.

Gina Hadawi '79 who last year went to Washington saw Henry Kissinger. She said "He was walking across the street, so I ran up to him and asked him for his autograph and if 1 could take a picture."

Jack Shanahan also participated in the workshop last year.

While in Washington, the participants will be given a schedule that contains the places and times where they will go to

listen to a speaker or watch eventful happenings. The students will have much time to themselves to explore the sites of Washington.

Gina was able to see Capitol Hill, The Capitol Building, Smithsonian, and many more places.

The Kiwanas of Park Ridge pays for the students tuition to Mary Mount College of Virginia. The students are asked to pay for the round-trip air fare, meals, and other expenses. There are eight one week sessions available for the Vfashington Workshops. The months range from February until June.

To qualify for the 1978 Washington Workshops, "a student must have a good academic pr<%ram and good grades," said Mr. Otto Kohler, head of the social science department. He must also be interested in history and government," Mr. Kohler said.

Most students disapprove of strike

by Sue Rebedeau What would happen if teachers went on strike? This issue raises a few ideas to mind. For instance, not only would students have to go to school later in the year, but the overall school morale would decrease.

School vacations would be shortened, depending on the length of the strike. We would go farther into the summer to compensate for the days missed.

Jim Toulon '79 said "If the teachers went on strike, I'd be mad because we'd have to make up the time on our summer vacation and also we might miss a football game."

Mary Beth Coudal '80 felt this way," I think that it would be great for the first couple of days, but I would start to get restless because I know we would have to make it up sooner or later and better sooner than later. I think I would be a little apprehensive about my teachers at first when I returned."

Last summer the majority of Maine South was dismissed on June 17. A lot of people complained about such a late date. This year seniors graduate June 6 and the rest of the school gets out June 8.

I would not enjoy going to school any later than last year. Most students would agree.

The enthusiasm for school activities seems to be increasing lately. The turnout at our Homecoming game was good, and the turnout at other sports events have been improved. One example of this is soccer.

Bill Robinson '80 said, "It would be bad because we would probably have to make up the time at the end of the year.

And also it would complicate the athletics" Mike Dever '81 said "I feel it would be a burden on students because if they went on strike for a long period of time, we would have to make up the time at the end of the year."

Mike Doyle '79 said "It would be a lot of fun for the students but still we would be missing a lot. Secondly the teachers would never give us the satisfactiwi of having a strike."

"I think that it would be great for a couple of days but then we would probably have to make up the time at the end of the year," said Pat Monaco '79.

Randy Malin '82 said "I think it would be the best thing that happened so far this year but it would ruin my summer

having to make it up."

Sean Smyth '81 said "I think it would be a pretty bad thing because we would have to make up for the days off.

However, the teachers deserve more because they take a lot of garbage from the students.

The overall attitude of the students seems negative toward a strike. For each day lost in a strike, the school would lose $13.70 for each student.

'Hardship' raises question

by Noreen Keane As most of already know, it's been relatively easy, during past years, to acquire early dismissal. Or perhaps, in some cases, get classes switched, (especially if it's 8th or 9th period gym.

But this year it's particularly difficult for students to obtain the privilege of early dismissal.

But the one obstacle in this otherwide perfect system (?) concerns the question, just what is sufficient hardship? In order for an individual to be granted early dismissal, they must be able to show sufficient grounds regarding their particular hardship. But, how can that committee possibly understand what the problem that particular individual and/or his family

Blues sung already?

by Lisa O'Coimor Only half of a quarter has passed — an eighth of a school year — one 32nd of a high school career. Are you suffering from premature, third quarter blues?

Symptoms include the following: friends start calling you 'or34j4;" at parties you imitate your counselor reading the bulletin; you've memorized a rendition of a "wild and crazy" weekend to be repeated as needed on Monday mornings; it takes more than cafeteria French fries to make you smile.

Even if the blues haven't attacked you yet, you stiU may be harboring some ill feelings (pun intended) towards school.

Here's a self-inventory quiz to test how well you've adjusted: 1. Does your gym teacher know your first name?

2. Do you know your I.D. number backwards?

3. Have you determined the religious and political biases of all your teachers?

4. Have you brought your gym suit home to be cleaned yet?

5. Are you reading this during lunch?

If you answered "ya" to all five, congratulations! You are a veritable conformist. If "uh-huh" was your reply to four of the five questions, wash your gym suit. If you said "nope" to three or more, then you've been spending too much time at Dam No. 4.

might be going through at that moment?

Occasionally, an individual is lucky enough to encounter an employer who is willing to allow his or her school hours to coincide with the firms. However, the schedule conflicts with the blissful idea of rearranging the school schedule. Ctf course it's only changing a gym class which happens to be 9th and you have 7th and 8th free. But after the case is submitted before the committee, he finds out that he doesn't have sufficient hardship.

This happened to me and I went and discussed it with Mr. James Bonney, Guidance Director. I asked him just what sufficient hardship is. I was told that my father must die or be laid off form work. Since I am not an unreasonable person, I could understand this type of hardship and luckly I didn't have it.

Before I left, he also told me that skaters over at Oakton Ice Arena could have their schedule changed to coincide with ice time. Without realizing it, I posed the question, "Isn't college more important than skating?" Mr. Bonney explained that these skaters could be pre-olympic stars some day, and they rate special privileges because of all the money they could make.

As a non-olympic star, I can tell you I resent this school's biased attitude concerning this particular issue. It's o.k. for many students to loose their jobs so they can not help pay for their college education and very possible be prevented from going to college because of lack of funds.

By Karen Maiorano, News Editor It is beyond me why students continue to vandalize oiu" school. The destruction in washrooms, the blowing out of windows and the painted markings on the outside walls are simply disgusting.

Last spring when the shattering of a window by a bomb took place, preschool students were in that area just five minutes prior to the incident.

TTiese innocent children could have been seriously hurt. Why? Because some students, with reason known only to themselves, took out their unhappiness on the school. They could also have done it to get attention.

But there are many other ways to get attention —many other better ways.

For instance, getting involved in more extra-curricular activities and being outstanding in them.

There is no reason why students should take out their unhappiness on the school. Perhaps more attention at home could help overcome the vandalism problem.

Vandalism is expensive. It is our parents, the taxpayers, that have to reach into their pockets when vandalism occurs.

It is time for the students to do their part. If the students doing this destruction would stop and think about what he or she is actually doing, fewer acts of vandalism would occur. If he or she does commit such a crime, and vandalism is a crime, it is a hardship not only to the vandal but on the rest of the school as well.

The administration has already gone to court with the two incidents that took place last spring. In each case, the students were found guilty. This shamed the students and their families as well.

If a student sees another student vandalize the school, he should report the vandal immediately. If you report a vandal, your name will be kept extremely confidentiid. The vandals will never know who reported them. You can report vandals to any school official.

If you do not already have some pride in this school, it is about time you develop some because this is one of the best high schools in the country, and that's a fact!

It is up to us to see that vandalism in our school is stopped once and for all.

It's panic time again

by Jack Shanahan There is an annual phenomenon that occurs about this time each year, especially in the drama wing. It is known

Teachers pick classes

by Mary Beth Coudal The first statement in the next paragraph deals with a radically controversial subject on which one must tread lightly. If SOUTHWORDS loses a talented reporter after this story it was all in the line of duty, and Woodward and Bernstein would be proud.

Teachers have social lives! They even participate in activities unrelated to making up cruel tests.

The question we asked members of the faculty was "what activities would you participate in if you were a student attending Maine South now?"

Some teachers like Mr. LaValle, debate coach, surprised us by saying he'd get involved in drama, WMTH, and, believe it or not debate. He said of the latter, "it forces one to become witty and fast-thinking."

Mr. Houton, History and Government teacher, stated that a club promoting mental challenges would interest him.

He cited Chess Qub as an example.

Mr. Lowry, Spanish teacher, would also get involved in a Chess Club, and suggested that a Backgammon Club be created.

Some faculty members decided this survey deserved less than a serious answer.

For instance, Mr. Bom, counselor, insisted that water polo, Hawkettes, and Orchesis would be his major pursuits if he were to attend Maine South as a student.

Ms. Albrecht, gym teacher, said she would want to become a cheerleader or especially an Orchesis member.

The serious side of these two indicates a conunon interest for the tennis team.

Ms. Albrecht would also want to be on the badmitton team.

Mrs. Suchy, English teacher, said, "Not only would I encourage students to be active participants and fans at athletic events I would recommend that at some time during their high school career they become involved in at least one of the school's drama productions whether it be V-Show, the musical or the all-school play."

She continued, "Such activities are beneficial for building poise and selfconfidence, while meeting many new friends."

as the "My Knees are Shaking, Hands are Sweating, Voice is Squeaking, VShow try-out jitters" and affects most pec^le who try-out, and in particular those who want to try out but don't have the slightest idea of what act to do.

The problem is that many students want to try out for the show, but don't because of a lack of original ideas: or, they go to the try-outs anyway and read something from a book they picked up yesterday, hoping it will be funny. I know. It is a technique I used last year in an unsuccessful attempt to get in the show. When you use this method, very often the try-outs can turn into inquisitions.

I am normally not very nervous about try-outs because there are always other kids in the room who want to try out also.

Misery loves company. However, there is a certain amount of tension as they call your name. This is the moment of truth.

It is like an eighth period test that you forgot to study for; you don't want to take it, but, you can not wait to get it over with. You hear your name and slowly get up. As you go forward, gripping your copy of The Grass is Always Greener Over the Septic Tank, you tr>' to prepare yourself. Then you commit a fatal mistake—you begin to think. "Suppose it isn't funny," "Suppose it's really a tragedy and I just read it wrong." Then you look at the judges-Genghis Khan, Ivan the Terrible and Darth Vader—and you know that you could be Steve Martin and not get a laugh.

But you read anyway...and read, and read and, except for a couple of "ha's" that could be mistaken for coughs, you don't get a single laugh. Now comes the tricky part: the graceful exit. You could either be flippant about it and act as though you don't care that you just read something about as funny as Roots; or you might mumble something like, "I guess you had to be there"; or you might just put your head down and go back to your seat. Any way you choose it seems like an eternity before they stop writing on those 3x5's and yell, "Next!" Meanwhile, you are in your seat replaying your performance on the special isolation, slow motion, playback cameras that only your mind, and Wide World of Sports, can produce and you think, "Boy, that stuff wasn't funny at all."

But, it is too late for that as you realize you'll be spending another V-Show in those comfortable seats in the auditorium, looking on stage at all those rotten people who had good ideas.

.On Second Thought.

Laughter is guaranteed

by Mary Callahan "This concludes the second act. After a brief intermission, we will be back with the first act." No — the announcer did not mix up his cue cards, for the scene is from "Second City." And from the moment the houselights are dimmed, the laughter begins.

"Second City," Chicago's own satirical comedy troupe (located on N. Wells St.) is the perfect solution to the "nothing to do" weekend syndrome. Two hours of hysterics are guaranteed. The group's revue is comprised of humorous sketches satirizing anything from the awkward silence of an elevator to the problems encountered in a sexual crisis clinic.

In one sketch from SC's current revue, the inefficiency of the post office is satirized superbly. Sara Lee-sweet clerks coupled with nauseatingly friendly mailmen turn the post office into a place who's sole function is to make the customer happy—ecstatic. Working overtime "to make sure all the important letters get delivered," patching up long distance romances, and greeting customers at the door are just several of the services offered. Finishing with the

post office workers singing cheerfully in top hats and tails, the scene switches to a nursing home.

Then it's the media's turn. The anchormen at Newscenter 8 receive a bulletin which they believe says the sun will collide with the earth in eight and a half minutes. A simultaneous outpouring of confessions begins. One anchorman apologizes to his wife for his extramarital affairs. Another tells his fellow workers how much he hates them, A third newscaster says good-bye mom then proceeds to chew out the Cubs for having such a disastrous season. As the eight and a half minutes whittle down to two, the first newscaster re-reads the shocking bulletin as a favor to the listening audience — only to discover that the sun will collide with the earth in eight and a half millenia. Sheepish grins and under-the-breath mutterings quickly end the eight o'clock evening news.

Hysterical sketches such as these laced together with sixty second blackout routines keep the audience continually convulsing with laughter. For a limited time only. Chateau Louise (Rt. 31 in Dundee) is hosting a special "Second City" revue entitled "Prime Ribbing-Very Rare". To that and all of winners come back in the fall to share "Second City's" revues, this reporter the new steps they have learned with the can only say Prime Ribbing—well done. other members.

Orchesis is a very active group throughout the entire school year. In addition to V-Show and their own March concert, the group performs fifteen times a year for elementary and junior high schools, civic groups, and special events such as the Homecoming parade and the National French Awards.

Members are encouraged to take professional dance lessons to improve their technique. Each year, Orchesis gives scholarships for summer study, and

Kickers battle Maine Demons toniglit

by Carolyn Quinn Tonight the Maine South and Maine East varsity soccer squads will meet under the lights at Maine East at 8 p.m.

The cross-town rivals will be resuming a battle for supremacy that left off last year with a scoreless tie. Leading the Hawk offense tonight against East goalie Tom Breslin will be Bill Shinn, Ron Muck, Paul Bringas, Chip Stranahan and Tom Winkowski. Joining them in their romp over the Demons will be the midfield players Tom Winkowski, Mark Curtis and Tim Meehan. And securing the backfield for Maine South will be Doug Hansen, Bob Koenig and John Eneerman and goalie Dan White.

With it's usual dazzling style the Maine South Varsity Soccer team continued its undefeated record last week with two impressive victories over the Indians of Niles West and the Scouts of Lake Forest.

The October 4 game against Niles West provided a perfect showcase for the multi-talented Hawk defense and offense. First quarter opened with a goal by senior Ron Muck, assisted by Bill aiinn. Chaos ensued on the Niles team as the sudden surging goal attempts by Maine South created utter confusion for the Indian defense.
