Jim McGlade

McGlade apart from others was his attitude about people. Jim wanted to be liked and to have a lot of friends. He had a special talent for treating those who were different with an open mind. He listened to people, and he cared.

Many people were aware of Jim's bout with his illness. We all admired his courage as well as his optimistic attitude. For those of us who knew him well, there will never be another friend quite like Jim McGlade. Although we are saddened by his loss, we are gratified to know that he is out of his pain.

Our thoughts, prayers, and love are with him and his family.

Farmer, Piana to retire All of Maine South will feel the loss of Mrs. Aida Farmer and Mr. Arthur Piana. who will retire at the end of this school year. Both teachers have been at Maine South since the school opened in 1964.

Mrs. Farmer first taught in the district at Maine East from 1962-64, having moved to this area from Kentucky. When South opened she transferred here, where she has taught all levels of Spanish. She has helped in many school activiites in addition to her regular classes. Mrs. Farmer was the first sponsor of the National Honor Society at Maine South. She also served as sponsor of the Spanish Club, and takes pride in having taught several winners of the National Spanish Contest. Mr,s.

Farmer plans to move to Frederic, Maryland. Much of her time will be devoted to her outside interest of music and numismatics, the study and collection of coins. She stated," I've enjoyed the students at Maine South very much, and I hope I've had a positive impact on their lives."

Mr. Arthur Pianaa will also retire following the close of the 1979-80 year. He has taught in the Maine district for 22'/2 years. Starting out at Maine East, Mr. Piana also transferred to South upon its opening.

He has taught several levels of S p a n i s h , along with I t a l i a n .

Throughout the years he has also aided the school in other areas, such as coaching .soccer. He plans to move to Williamson County in Southern Illinois. Although he has no special plans for the immediate future as of yet, Mr. Piana is certain that he will remain busy and active with work or hobbies.

The whole of Maine South thanks Mrs. Farmer and Mr. Piana for their dedicated teaching, and wishes them happiness in the future.

IVIarlin girls swim to fame

by Laura OUon

Marlin Swim Club received second highest honors at the Twenty-sixth Annual International Festival of Aquatic Art held in Birmingham Alabama on May 9 and 10.

They competed with "Jungle Jive" a four minute composition that featured stroking. Marlin competed against seventeen groups of college and adult men and women.

Judging was made by an international committee of five people on the basis of technical performance, innovations and creativity. Miss Dawn Butler, Marlin Club sponsor, stated that the ranking was verv

close and the judges could find no faults in their performance.

Seventeen members attended the festival where they presented a clinic with Miss Butler on stroking to the rest of the participants. It was the ninth trip since 1967 made by a Maine South Marlin Club; no other high school has ever attended.

Miss Butler stated. "We felt we took a beautilul composition, we were a little disappointed at the rating, but were pleased with how we did." She added that the girls swam better than they had before and enjoyed the hospitality and friendliness.

Southwords survives finance problems will not. however, lessen the quality of paper or print that we now maintain. We hope that as the years go by that Southwords will become stronger and stronger after this period of financial difficulties.

In our March 21 issue of Southwords the editors wrote a letter to you. the Maine South student body.

The letter concerned our fears that our school paper might be in its dying days. Well lam happy to make it known to our loyal readers that Southwords is again standing strong and will be in full production next year. This is primarily due to the fact that our printing costs will be cut significantly by using district facilities to print the paper. This

In closing. I would like to thank the many interested students who gave us their support by writing let-. ters to the local papers and talking to both teachers and administrative personnel.

Class of 83: Enjoy activities Scott Erickson, Editor-in-Chief

For the past few years, the commentary in t h e final issue of Southwords has been directed to the graduating class of that year.

However, I believe there is a much better use for this commentary. I want to direct my final commentary to the class of 1983.

Right now, the freshman class has three long years of homework and detention slips to look forward to. That may sound like a very bleak outlook, but what do any of us have to look forward to? College or trade school or jobs. These are all responsibilities that we will have to live up to or our chances for success are severely limited. ' Work is a way of life. For most people to survive in our society, they must work. School is work. An after-school job is work. But if we take the work and emphasize some of the fun we have while doing it, the work becomes more enjoyable.

A good way to excuse yourself from having fun while here at Maine South is to simply say, "How can I have fun while I'm stuck in here?" The answer is that you have to make it enjoyable. Your teachers all bombarded you with statements about how great all the activities at school are the first day you walked into their classroom.

Some of you may have heard their recommendations and did get involved in a sport or club or other type of organization. But there is a great number who have not.

Right now, those people who have not gotten involved are the ones who are saying, "I don't know if I can stand three more years of

this," and for three years they'll be longing to leave. Wouldn't it be more enjoyable for those people if they liked their school and didn't really mind getting up every morning and going to school?

I am directing this advice to the freshman because they still have a good chance of turning themselves around. But the same applies to all of the classes, whether it be freshman, sophomore, or junior. But it's too late for those in the class of 1980. High school is over for us, and those who didn't take advantage of it while they could, lost out.

It's not that I'm not looking forward to moving on to college, as I'm sure most seniors are. But I have many fond memories of my days here at Maine South. It's too depressing for me to think that some people will look back on the years they spent in high school and think they were just a waste of time. I will remember Maine South as a time of growing up and gaining new friends and new responsibilities. I cannot imagine the thought of Maine South bringing me anything but happiness, and I would like to thank all the teachers and administrators who helped me gain these happy memories.

But do you, as freshman, think that on your final days here at South you will be feeling a loss when you walk down the aisle during the graudation proceedings? If you do. you'll have proven to yourself that you did enjoy Maine South. But if the only thing your thinking is, "Give me that diploma and let me get out of here forever," the only one who will be losing out is you.

SC President overviews progress Dear Editor: As my term in the office of Student Council President comes to a close, I feel it n e c e s s a r y to exp r e s s some of my concerns and beliefs of t h e role that the Stud e n t Council p l a y s in a school such as Maine South.

Over t h e past year, I have learned about other Student Councils and the role they play in the school. The administration of this school is probably the most c o n s e r v a t i v e a d m i n i s t r a t i o n in

D i s t r i c t # 2 0 7 . It a p p e a r s t h a t some of the other Maine schools have more lenient rules and attitudes toward student limitations.

Conservative, however, is not bad.

The administration of this school generally reflects the values and beliefs of our community. Those s a m e c o n s e r v a t i v e b e l i e f s and i d e a l s have m a d e Maine South one of t h e best high schools in this state.

No S t u d e n t C o u n c i l in t h i s c o u n t r y h a s . d o e s , or will ever

formulate school policy. If it were the job of the Student Council, I would be a paid employee of the district with an office in the personnel office. As a Student Council member, my only hope is that t h e Maine South administration will take the student's opinions into consideration when they act on a measure that will affect the students.

I feel honored and proud to say that the 1979-1980 Student Council • Please turn to page 8

Mr. Hall motivates South AP history students Lisa O'Connor. Commentary Editor

Few can relate to this editorial, and most will consider it egotistical and melodramatic, yet this editorial is sincere.

Last year in Advanced Placement United States History, I felt a camaraderie in the classroom that motivated me to think, work, and participate much more than I ever expected I could. I have recently learned that this spirit is in another AP class, AP European History.

AP students do not necessarily have more initiative than other students, but their teachers do. AP teachers bring energy to their lectures, have respect for their students' intelligence. and set a superior academic example in the classroom. One such teacher is Mr. Hall. His students feel, "Mr. Hall's personality has confidence in us and his intelligence make APE the only class we all look forward to."

Department Award Girls' Physical Ed. Teri Westermeier

Department Award Science Mike Klimas

Mr. Hall himself is the reason APE exists at Maine South. Students take the class for the opportunity to be taught by him — the actual European Histor>' is just a fringe benefit. Mr. Hall commands the respect of his students, which motivates them to do impressive academic work.

Mr. Hall has been at Maine South for ten years, teaching APE eight of them. His students usually score higher than the national average on the AP exam.

Special teachers like Mr. Hall — teachers who can truly motivate — are not common. As this paper goes to print a decision to transfer Mr. Hall to Maine North stands unreversed.

Recently Maine South has been compromising on what once made our school number one academically (the LRCs for example). I hope history is not doomed to repeat itself; I hope Mr." Hall will remain at Maine South.

by Katie Reif From among the many talented athletes who have participated in various sports at Maine South, Jim Walewander has been chosen to receive M-Club's Athlete of the Year award.

During his four years at Maine South, Jim has displayed skill and excellence in not only basketball but also baseball. Coaches and teammates have praised Jim for always having shown enthusiasm and confidence both on and off the playing field.

Jim began playing basketball at age 8. When he came to Maine South, he played as a guard on the freshmen team and then on the sophomore team. Junior and senior year.Jim wasa memberofthevarsity squad. He travelled downstate with the team last year but. "sat on the bench and watched. ' This year Jim demonstrated speed and quickness on the court and was a strong asset to the team.

"I really enjoyed playing basketball." said Jim. i t was hard work, but a lot of fun. The guys on the team were great — I liked playing with them. The fan support was encouraging — it was great to see so many people cheering."

Jim also began playing baseball at an early age. At Maine South, he was a member of the Frosh "A" ^ team, and from sophomore year on * he played on the varsity team Jim has all the qualities a good shortstop needs: speed, quickness, and the ability to think fast. i hope this is the year we make state," commented Jim. We haven't been able to go that far for the past few years, but I really hope we can do it this year. " Jim enjoyed the other ballplayers and the experience he received while on the team.

•'I'm looking forward to playing baseball at college " Participation in both sports has provided Jim with satisfaction and . experience — " i m glad I played the sports 1 did — I had a lot of fun."

Throughout his four years at Maine South. Jim Walewander has shown the kind of athletic excell^ ence that Maine South and its students are extremely proud of. Congratulations to a most deser\'ing athlete!

• From page 4 has been one of the most successful in t h i s s c h o o l ' s h i s t o r y .

Through our efforts with the Student Council film s e r i e s , the Homecoming carnival, parade, and queen elections, the blood drive, our contributions to numerous funds, and countless other events, the Maine South Student Council has established itself as a service organization that teaches leadership while encouraging the expression of student opinion. I leave my office of President in hopes that this year's Student Council will become a model for future councils.

Thank you for your continued support.
