Timothy J. Chorvat has won the Century III I^eaders Scholarship competition at Maine South, according to Principal Clyde Watson.

The 17-year old senior is now eligible to compete with other high school seniors throughout Illinois for two $1,500 scholarships, two $500 scholarships and also for a $10,000 national scholarship that will be awarded in a conference of state winners in historic Colonial Williamsburg, Virginia.

Chorvat triumphed in the local phase of the Century ni Leaders program, a scholarship competition which emphasizes the future concerns of America.

Students were judged on the basis of their leadership abilities, community involvement and score on a current events examination. To compete at the state level, Chorvat must now write a brief projection outlining what he thinks is one of America's future challenges and how it should be met.

Runners-up in the competition at South were Chris Dimopoulos and Jay Huyler.

Chorvat now will compete with other high school winners from around the state for four scholarships and an op-

portunity for the $10,000 top national scholarship.

The two Illinois winners will receive an all-expense-paid trip to the third annual Century- III National Leadership Seminar in Williamsburg, March 1-6, 1979 to participate in seminars on current issues. In previous years, speakers at these seminars were such notables as news commentator Howard K. Smith, architect/futurist Buckminister Fuller, and anthropologist Rene Dubos.

The program is administered by the National Association of Secondary School Principals and funded by Shell Oil Company.

Chorvat is a National Merit semifinalist, an outstanding public speaker and debater, according to Ken Reese, career counselor. He also was named the Peggy Ross Best American History Scholar as a junior. In addition, he attended the National High School Institute in Debate at Northwestern University last summer and was the school winner in the 1978 National Mathematics Contest.

Chorvat's future plans are to attend Northwestern University.

President of Student Council Explains

by Janet Shamllan and GinaHadawi "What's Student Council?" is a question being asked by many of the students at South.

Student government officers believe the system is active in a lot of ways.

The central organization of students at Maine South is the Student Council. It makes new policies, revises old ones, and tries to meet the needs of the student body.

Student Council consists of four officers, seven committee chairmen, one - freshman, one sophomore, one junior, and one senior representative from each homeroom complex; and a complex lea_ der from each homeroom. The complex ' leader gives a report to the homeroom complex once every two weeks to inform the homeroom about the activities of Council.

Officers, committee chairmen and representatives began planning last May for this year's activities. With Homecoming falling so early. Council began early preparing the assembly, carnival, parade and queen elections. Homecoming Chairman, Laurie Gauger and Mr. Morris and Mr. New, the Student Council sponsors directed Homecoming activities.

One of Student's Council's student ser. vices is the Paperback Book Store.

The new bookstore sells used Paperback books in good condition, for 25 cents. The Paperback Book Store has

Galena trip held

by Sue Rebedeau The Social Science Department recently sponsored a field trip to Galena.

The trip was open to all juniors currently enrolled in a U.S. History class.

A group of 45 students participated in the trip. The chaperones were Mr. John Heerman and Mr. Otto Kohler, chairmen of the Social Science Department.

It took three hours to arrive in Galena.

On the way the bus went through Freeport and saw the sight of the DouglasLincoln Debate of 1858.

In Galena a tour joined the group and showed them Ulysses Grant's Home and the Stockade 11832). Also visited was - the Old Market House of 1845 and other historic buildings.

An hour boatride in an old paddlewheel steamboat on the Mississippi was " also part of the days activities.

Mr. Kohler commented, "I thought our students learned a great deal about Illinois history and I felt this was one of the best groups we've had in years. I felt the low point was when Nancy Zuegel '80 took over the wheel of our boat. The It of Dabngue, in the middle of the sissippi River. But things went better after that."

Are jobs important?

by Katie Reif "That will be $14.01, please. Do you have a penny? That's okay - it doesn't matter.

You have coupons? In that case I'll have to ring up a new receipt. That comes to $13.16. No Ma'am, we don't accept Master Charge. Yes, you can write a check if you wish. Please put your address and phone number on the tiack " Sound familiar? Obviously everyone isn't a cashier at the Jewel, but many of us do have jobs. Why do we have to put up with customers-why are they always right? Why do we work? We work for many different reasons. While talking to teachers, students and employers, this reporter found out some of the reasons.

Mr Huizinga, C-108 counselor, thinks it's an excellent idea that students work.

"It gives them insist on how people earn a living. Worldng will hopefully make them appreciate the value of an education and the value of a dollar.

However, a student's first obligation should be schoolwork. If he is having problems in school, work should be discontinued until better grades are attained. However, I would never tell a student that that he should not quit his job. It is up to a student and his parents to decide what the priorities are."

One of the teachers had a slightly different opinion. "I don't think it's a good idea for students to work during the school week. They should be spending the majority of their time on school work." She agreed, however, that if a student can get homework finished and maintain good grades, there is no reason why they could not work on weekends.

The general feeling among the teachers seemed to be that school work should come first, but if the student can handle a part-time job and keep his grades up, that's great.

According to a recent nation-wide poll, out of 3,136 high school students 16 years and older, 46.4% have part time jobs. The percentage of working students has been on the increase for a number of years.

Why do more and more students want to work? One of the reasons is today's high cost of college.

There are other reasons too. Liza Dahlin '81, an employee at Richard Edmunds Gazebo, is working primarily for experience. "In considering my background, it will always be in my favor to have experience in a particular fieldEveryone has to start somewhere in order to work their way up."

Heidi Timmer '81, also an employee of the Gazebo, is working primarily for spending money,"I use mostof my money for clothes and ski trips, but I always try to save a little too."

Another Maine South student, Tracy Hager, '80, works at the Courtier Qub. "Working should be part of our education. Most kids are too dependent upon their parents. When the time comes that they have to work, they have no experience. I enjoy where I work. It's a good enviromeni and it pays welL" What does an employer look for in hiring a high school student? A personnel manager of a small business company said that appearance, a good attitude and good grades are all very important.

He felt that a person who maintained good grades would be a reliable and good worker.

So now comes the time when you feel you want a job or perhaps change jobs.

According to teachers.employers, and parents, good grades are #1.

You should also ask yourself a few questions. What are my priorities, my interests? Do I honestly feel I can handle a job and schoolwork? We all know what our capabilities are, but do we use them weU?

A snake in the class

by Jack Shanahan Last week, a member of Mr. Robert Cook's biology class paid a visit to Miss Mary Cosenza and Mr. Robert Cassidy in A-IMl before school. Mr. Cassidy was the first to notice the intruder and he quickly observed two things: a) the intruder did not look like the typical Maine South student, and b) the intruder was in fact a snake.

ther down the halls of this school, snakes are not usually included. Therefore, it is understandable why the girls in the washroom were not exactly pleased with their new visitor—petrified is a more suitable term. Once again, Mr. Braun came to the rescue and put Houdini back, still unaware of how he had gotten out.

The third time Houdini escaped is the episode in A-201. After Mr. Braun returned Houdini to his cage, he left the room.

Ten minutes later, he re-entered and found the little devil squeezing his body through the bars. After this, the snake was taken home.

So, the snake which had caused considerable concern among several people, was finally gone; this left only one question unanswered: Who in the world would want a snake for a pet?

Business future bright

by Donna Wallace To the question of possible reasons for the popularity of business classes, Mrs. Block, business education teacher, made this comment. "The need for business skills is more valuable than in the past.

As the field is expanding, more jobs are available, such as with computers and business machines. Students feel the importance of business skills."

Mr. Anderson, business education, also gave a few reasons. He said, "Students see the practical application of these classes. Students and parents are becoming aware of careers that do not have prerequisite of four years in college."

The business industry is growing rapidly, many new jobs are available.

There will be well paying jobs in the field for many years to come.

Mathletes equal a winning combination How does one become a Mathlete?

Gretchen replied, "Almost anyone who is in accelerated or advanced math can be one."

Gretchen added, "It seems there is a lot of school spirit, especially on the senior team. Even more fun then doing the math problems is being involved in a school activity. I would encourage anyone who does well in math to join MaUiletes, because it's fun."

Kayvon concluded by saying, "Mathletes: It's not just an activity. It's an adventure."

Hawks battle Warriors victoriously

by Janet Shamllan The Hawks Varsity Football Team has been keeping busyâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;busy winning football games.

The Hawks made Maine East very unhappy on their Homecoming game, October 14. The Hawks defeated the Demons, 9-6. It was the fourth win of the season for the Hawks.

The Hawks scored a touchdown on a four yard run by Dan Ryan in the second quarter. South also scored on a 28-yard field goal by Dan Murphy. Incidentally, Maine East did score, once. The score came on a seven yard pass from Ehave McCarren to Tom Cherven.

Statistically, Tom Varriage was the leading rusher with 95 yards. Dan Ryan rushed for 72 yards and Jim Toulon for 56 yards. As a team, the Hawks rushed for 206 yards in 52 attempts.

"We were emotionally up for the game. The last three times that our class played Maine East, we lost. We really wanted revenge. We performed well offensively and defensively, and we beat them all over the field," said Bill Graser.

Jim Toulon added, "We played great as a team and we really stuck together.

We moved the ball on offense and played tough on defense. Our line blocked hard."

Dan Ryan commented, "What we did is capitalize on their mistakes. There was a turnover of the ball, then the Demons received a penalty for off-sides and we scored on Uie next series."

The Hawks tasted victory again on Saturday, October 21, when they defeated Waukegan East, 36-6. This game was the first win on their home field for the Hawks.

Tom Varriage scored two touchdowns for the Hawks. The first touchdown was scored on a four yard run, with Dan Ryan making a two yard run for the extra point. The second touchdown was made on a 54 yard run by Varriage. The try for the extra point failed. At the end of the first quar^r the Hawks had the edge, 140.

Jim Toulon also scored two touchdowns in the second quarter. The first touchdown was scored on a 60 yard pass

C.C. men finish up well

by Tom Sebastian The Maine South Cross Country Team met the Maine West Cross Country team last week and lost, 18-45.

Even though the team lost, Dave Mau put in another impressive performance.

Mau finished third in this race and Dave Phillips is getting considerably better as the season goes on, and even though Nau is clearly a fine runner, Phillips should be commended for the hard work that he's put in so far this season.

On Saturday, Oct. 7, 1978, the Cross Country Team b-aveled to the Ridgewood Invitational. Although the teams final placing was fifteenth, Dave Mau once again made a fine showing. Mau finished 19th in his three mile race with a time of 15:30 which was one minute under the time that he ran last year.

Tim Crowe was the top runner placing thirteenth in his race. The Sophomore team continues to improve as the season progresses, and Coach Kilcullen has great hope for the future of these young runners.

In conference competition, Dave Mau placed a high third. Mau has finished successfully all season and his fine performance in the conference made for an excellent year of running.

Hawk Kickers slice up Devils

by Carolyn Qulnn On Tuesday, Oct. 31, the Maine South Varsity soccer team proved the true meaning of the word "hustle" with an impressive victory over the tugh ranked

Ron tMuGk OMttm paet ttw North defense In a recent home game. The Hawks beat the Norsemen by a score of 2 - 0. [Ptioto by

Hinsdale Central Red Devils by a score of 6-0. In what was their finest game of the season, the Hawks used this game to teach the Red Devils how to play soccer.

The first quarter opened a little slowly for Maine South. Despite the excellent ball-handling of forwards Bill Shinn, Chip Stranahan and Paul Bringas, and the extremely aggressive play of Ron Muck, the Hawks had difficulty penetrating the Hinsdale defense, and were unsuccessfull on many of their early goal attempts. But Maine South was able to pull itself together and by the end of the quarter, Mitch DiCicco had scored the first Maine South goal.

Utilizing their passing and headball expertise, the second quarter brought continued success to the Hawks and two more goals for the scoreboard. One goal was the result of the hard-driving efforts of Ron Muck, with an assist by Paul Bringas. I^^ater, with two seconds re-

maining, Southman Bill Shinn scored the third Maine South goal, assisted by Muck.

Coming back after the half, the Hawks were quickly able to find faults in the Red Devil defensive line and found breaking through it no problem. Ron Muck scored his second goal of the day half-way through the quarter, again assisted by Paul Bringas. In addition to the aggressive play of the forward line, Maine South defense, comprised mainly of Steve Dude, John Engerman, Doug Hanson proved vital to the game, as not one Hinsdale goal attempt penetrated South's goal line. Another goal from Muck supplied him with a hat-trick, and the fifth goal for the team.

Confident of the victory, Tom Winkow.ski remained in long enough to score the Hawks' sixth and final goal, ending the game with a final score of Maine South 6; Hinsdale 0,

last year's state champs. Mother McAuley.

"McAuley is basically a defense team," Coach Saunders pointed out. "We can expect the ball to keep coming back over the net."

On the J.V. level, McAuley was defenseless against the strong serves brought the Hawks from a 13^ deficit to a 15-13 win. McAuley twunced back to win, 0-15, 5-15.

The varsity also lost in three games, losing the first game 4-20.

The second game however, the Hawks rallied their offense and defense to take the second game, 20-16. But, the third game they couldn't hang on and were sett)ack 10-20 to lose the match.
