Dance tomorrow

by Cindy Coltman The Homecoming Dance, sponsored

by Senior Class Council, will be held in the spectator gym on October 6 from 8 p.m. to 11 p.m.

Due to the new rule instituted by Dr. Clyde Watson and the Executive Committee, couples must arrive by 9 p.m.

"Celebrate Me Home" will feature the five-Piece band "Bushwack" and the elected queen and court. According to Mr. Lee Anderson, Senior Class sponsor, about 450 couples are expected to turn out for the dance which Senior Class Council members promised to be a real success.

Jim McGlade, Senior Class President, mentioned that "It would be well appreciated if anybody can help set up for the dance tonight at 7 p.m. It's not hard work and the more people that work the easier it is and the more fun it is."

The patient in question, Ernst Heinrich Emesti (Greg Ghenna), is a physicist who believes himself to be Einstein. His companions in the asylum, Herbert Georg Beutler (Mike Harris) and Johann Wilhehn Mobius (Scott Stuart), are also physicists with severe mental disorders; Beutler thinks he is Newton and Mobius claims to see King Solomon.

"The Physicists" is a brain-tingling melodrama with a new twist to the old puzzler, "Who's looney now?" Fortunately this is a humorous play, making the subject matter more bearable. Says director Vince Pinelli, "Even though the play was written 20 years ago, the subject is more pertinent now than it has ever been."

AFSers learn to travel abroad and enjoy it Maine South students Susan Rebedeau, Mike Huyler, and Kate Nesbit were American Abroad students this summer.

Susan Rebedeau traveled to Portugal, a country on the west border of Spain.

She left Park Ridge June 23 and arrived home on August 31. Her family's first home is in Tomar, located in the central mountains. She spent three weeks there and then travelled to their home in Lisbon. Her last month was spent in Nazare, located on the Atlantic Ocean.

When a^ed if Sue thought the language was a problem, she said, "Definitely at first. As I becanK accustomed to the sounds, however, it became easier. The Portuguese language is beautiful; it is a mixture of all European languages like French, German, Italian and Spanish."

"The people there are really friendly, and are very interested in American customs."

She ^)ent much of her time in cafes, talking and having a good time during the day. At night Sue went to discos with her 20 year-old Portuguese sister.

Mike Huyler, another AFS student, traveled to AustraUa. His host family of two brothers and two sisters lived in a town about 60 miles outside Melboum, which is in the east to southeast part of the country.

Though it was summer vacation here, Mike attended high school there. Like his new classmates, he had to wear a blazer, tie, dress pants, V-Neck sweater, and black shoes to school every day. The day began at 8:30 a.m. and was in session until 3:30 p.m.

There was not a language problem, except for the strong British accent.

"They were hard to understand at first because of the accent, and also because they have different slang words than we have. But it was fun. It got to the point where I was speaking with a British accent, too."

According to Mike, AustraUa really does have kuala bears, kangaroos, and a falling Skylab. He and his host family watched it faU from the sky early one morning.

The people, even though they teased

him about being one of the Yanks who put it up there, were friendly. "They're easy to get to know," Mike commented.

They all seem interested in America and would like to come over. "Fine with me," Mike said, "but only if they don't mind a 26 hour plane flight!"

Kate Nesbit also enjoyed a long plane flight to Indonesia. She was met by her family of 12 brothers and sisters. She only lived with nine of them in the town of Ujung Pandang.

Like Mike, Kate also attended school, but for only three hours in the afternoon.

Everyday she donned her school uniform of a white skirt and blouse and went off to two eighty minute classes of science and math.

"Their way of life is really different from ours," Kate commented. "Everyone gets up and goes out at 5:30 a.m. just to meet people, talk to friends, and stuff like that. ITien after two hours or so, everyone goes back to bed, gets up for school, and then back to bed to rest up for the evening."

Their day is totally opposite from ours,

she said. "We sleep almost all day and then go to a disco or a super-edited movie at night. When I say edited, I mean 'Charlie's Angels' would be illegal there."

Just like all Eastern countries, Kate ale a lot of rice along with fish, chicken, and water buffalo. Tea and ovaltine are their favorite drinks.

One reason Kate wanted to go will AFS is that she is curious about th< world. She found out that other people can be curious, also. One night she and her family were on their way out, and a crowd of people gathered around the car and refused to move.

"It kind of scared me at first," Kate commented, "But I got used to it after a while because I realized they were just curious about what white skin felt like since very few white people ever come to that city."

In spite of all the curiosity, though, the people were very friendly. She enjoyed the trip, just as Sue and Mike did.

"Even if it did include school!" Mike added jokingly.

Senior Honor Assembly to be in evening The Senior Honors Assembly will be held during the evening by invitation only instead of an in-school assembly.

Student behavior in the past years has brought about this change.

The Senior Honors Assembly is a time put aside to recognize those seniors whose work deserves special attention.

The decision to change it was made by the Administration Council and Jim

McGlade, President of the Senior Class.

There are several reasons for the change. It is easier for the family of a student to attend at night. The evening ceremonies will hopefully eliminate childish activities which have taken place at previous assemblies.

The use of liquor by students has presented problems at the assemblies.

Water balloons, loud yelling, and the use

of sirens to distract the presentor have all been disturbances in the past.

This change was not sudden, according to Dr. Clyde K. Watson. Principal. "The change has been in consideration for the last two or three years. Each year the students tr>' to out do the students of the previous year."

"I am in favor of returning to an allschool assembly, but until something can be done to control the students we must use this present plan," said Dr. Watson.

Last year, both the platform guest and the administration were embarrassed by

Looking back on my journal I see the trivialities of things I once thought devastating; I also see the beginnings of clear relationships I though nothing would come of.

It is fascinating for me to reread, but I do not know how well it would go over if it were to appear on the best-sellers list. The most exciting journal you'll ever read is the one you wrote yourself.

My ramblings include poetry, drawings, details, and just great thoughts at large. There are no rides for keeping a journal. Whatever you feel comfortable admitting to yourself is fair territory.

The only one to read this reflection of yourself is you. It can be a daily account of what's happening in your life, a view of the situation in the MidEast, or just a place for you to pour out your heart.

Every writer (and everyone is a writer, unless you are illiterate, in which case you would not have been able to read this far) feels a bit threatened by a blank page. Once you begin writing in your journal you will discover how easy it is to fill up the blank pages.

Some questions to ask yourself when beginning a journal, just to help you get started are: 1. Am I happy with the person I am? Are others? Is either relevant?

2. What is my first memory? Is it vivid? What did I feel then?

3. What secrets have I never told anyone? Dare I admit them now to myslef?

4. What wUl I be doing in 50 years? 20? 10? A week? Who will create my destiny?

5. Is physical contact important? What do I think of sex? Why? 6. What do my dreams mean? Are they symbolic to what I am doing now?

7. Can I love others without loving myself? Is it easy to love for me as it is to hate? What is love?

Supervision is needed to protect the school property since last year J17,000 worth of vandalism was done to Maine South.

Mr. Skinner concluded, "The major issue seems to be whether it is worth the expense to hire para-professionals so that teachers could be assigned to the LRC's".

Priorities may have been misplaced.

Mr. Thomas Kerth, English instructor, stated, "I think that there is a lot of emphasis put on supervision. The LRC is an academic area that needs to be placed high on the list of priorities."

An estimated caluclation made by a group letter sent to the Park Ridge Advocate stated at $500,000 is spent ' annually to put teachers in supervisory duties other than teaching for Maine South.

Another point brought up was that Maine South is the only one of the four Maine schools to ever have an LRC for students and teachers to confer about the subjects.

The issue here is whether supervision and economics prevail over education and assistance. This choice is quite involved, and there is no easy solution.

After Homecoming, you can dine fancy or plain

by Laura Olson '82 "Where are you going after the homecoming dance tomorrow?" This commonly asked question may not have an answer yet.

Do you want to go to a formal and expensive restaurant or a casual one?

The following list, which contains restaurants with a wide variety of food, decor and prices, should help you decide.

Formal restaurants seem to be the most popular with students. Amie's (1030 N. State) and Amie's North (1876 First St., Highland Park) offers dinners from pasta to lamb and ribs.

Both of these restaurants are decorated well and are very popular.

Prices range from $6.95 to $12.95 and reservations are necessary.

Great expectations for Dance

By Colette Hawley As I stared at the dried flowers stuck between my wall and my picture frame, I remembered the good time I had at that dance. That dance was my first dance.

Homecoming 1977.1 recalled getting my long dress and hanging it on the closet door, staring at it for hours. I imagined myself dancing about, my skirt billowing and swirling around me. I tried to see how Bob would look, in his beige suit with the red rose I was to give him, pinned on his right lapel. What a handsome couple we would make. Before the dance we would take pictures, exchange flowers, and drink a glass of champagne at Julie's house. We would all look so elegant.

In a chauffered car we would go to dinner downtown and then back to my house. I thought this evening through at least a hundred times, and the anticipation was unbearable.

That night finally came. My dress was a bit short and I realized my shoes were ugly. Bob appeared at my door with wet hair (it was raining) and a crooked green tie. My mother had to pin his flower on for me, the flower that Bob would eventually lose, and in the pictures Bob stood at least a foot away from me. Our chauffer's were Tony, Bob's brother, Sherry, Terry's pregnant wife, and Mary, Bob's sister. At the dance my hair was drenched, and my make-up was running down. Bob did not dance one step.

When it came time for dinner, my steak was so small I had to look under a pea to find it. On the way home, Tony peered into the rearview mirror and at my house; my parents spied on us from

the balcony.

The dance was not what I expected.

Many students will agree. Dave Hadawi, '80 said, "I like the partying before and after, but the dance itself is not what everyone expects."

Rob Getz, '81 also said, "You can always have fun no matter if you go as just friends or with a girlfriend."

But Dan McGovem. '80 said, "I like the dance, it's good to see everyone dressed up and in a good mood for once!"

Have fun at Homecoming, but remember it may not be able to meet your great expectations.

Alan Alda develops movie worth waiting for

by Scott Stuart'80 After the last few months, a successful movie is no longer an unusual sight.

Lines have been building behind theater box offices all summer. The last few weekends they have been at Morton Grove and Woodfield. The movie is "The Seduction of Joe Tynan" and it is worth the wait.

"The Seduction of Joe Tynan" is written by and stars Alan Alda. The script is intriguing, informative and funny. It contains a lot of the wit and humor that Alda brings to most of the M*A'S*H espisodes. However, as its advertisements may hint, this movie has a lot more to it than some good jokes.

Alda has managed a good blend of comedy and drama which creates some very good scenes, so if you are expecting only laughs you're in for a pleasant surprise.

The stars of the "Blues Brothers" are John Belushi and Dan Ackroyd of NBC's "Saturday Night Live." It was on this show that Belushi and Ackroyd first portrayed a couple of singers, dancers and musicians known as the Blues Brothers, who later came to be quite popular. The movie is a musical comedy which is filled with high action and many stunts.

Singing and dancing also play a key role in the movie.

Belushi portrays the role of Jake, while Ackroyd takes on the character (rf Elwood, the other half of the duo. Also appearing in the movie is Henry Gibson, Carrie Fisher, Ray Charles, Aretha Franklin, the Muddy Waters Band, and of course, the Blues Brothers Band.

The film is produced by Robert Weiss and directed by John Landis, who also directed Kentucky Fried Movie and Animal House, which is currently rerunning in Chicago.

ending scene are both excellent.

Everything seems to come together both in front of and behind the camera in these times especially.

All things taken into consideration, "The Seduction of Joe Tynan" has too many good points to fail. It's a movie worth taking the time to see, you will be entertained as well as informed, with reasonable truth, as to how things are in American politics. I think, that, weather permitting, people will be lining up to see this movie as well, you should.

Blues Brothers capture the Park Ridge eye

By Marya Sakowlcz Park Ridge, as everyone knows, was recently inhabited by the Universal production company. Many questions were raised by the throngs oif spectators who had gathered to watch the filming of the "Blues Brothers." I, too, was curious, so I talked to a few of the members of the Universal staff and came up with the following:

The movie is based around the political life of Joe Tynan (Alan Alda), a successful and popular senator from New York, and its affects on his attitudes, colleagues and family relationships. It contains some very funny but valuable examples about the impersonal and deceiving fronts politicans must build in order to gain power and win elections.

Barbara Harris excellent as Tynan's wife, who is forced through the tribulations of holding together a family broken by political strife. Alan Alda's portrayal of Tynan as his political ambitions take their toll on himself and his marriage is also very good. Other members of the talented cast are Meryl Slreep (Holocaust and Deer Hunter), Melvyn Douglas, and Rip Tom. "The Seduction of Joe Tynan" is directed by Jery Schatzberg, who handles the film well and shows that he knows what he's doing right from the start.

Hawks to take on Indians for Homecoming

by Janet Shamllan The football team will take on New Trier East in the Homecoming game tomorrow. According to Head Football Coach, Mr. Robert Schmidt, the Hawks are looking forward to the confrontation.

We have never played New Trier East in football before, and although they're ranked fifth in the Chicagoland area, I think that it is going to be a tight game," Schmidt said.

New Trier East is one of the oldest schools in the North Shore area, and they have always been one of the "power teams" in the Central Suburban League North division along with Deerfield.

Schmidt will be relying on defensive linemen Joe DiCola, Dan McGovem, and Dan Schiesser for some solidity in the line.

"Our next few games are going to be tough as we lost our best football plaer in Mark Paulik, who is out for the season with a pinched neck nerve." Schmidt described Paulik as an "outstanding" football player. "His absence is a great loss to the team." Schmidt added that Joe DiCola will be moved to the offensive

position and Gary McMeen wiD take on his defensive position.

Geoff Woodham, American Field Service student from Australia, is a member of the varsity team. Geoff says that he enjoys being on the team very much.

Coach Schmidt conunented that it is very unusual for a foreign exchange student to compete on the football team.

"Some AFS' students join their high school's soccer team, but joining the football team is unusual as the rules of football are quite different from those of sports in foreign countries. Geoff has played rugby in Australia, he added.

The Hawks dropped their first conference game last Saturday at Waukegan West, 25-0. "I think that we need work, but we are continuing to improve," said Mr. Schmidt.

South defeated Evanston on September 21, 13-6, in overtime play. The win was the first time that the football team has won a game in overtime in about seven years. "It was a real confidence builder for us," Schmidt said.

Kickers to scalp Indians

Fullback Dave Hepburn eludes a Waukegan West player in the Hawks' battle last week.

The Hawks beat Waukegan West 9-0.

by Thomas Numrych Tomorrow, the Maine South varsity soccer team wiU play New Trier East at 11 a.m. on the Indians' field. Mr. Tilley, the varsity soccer coach, said N.T.E. is the toughest team the Hawks will play in their normal season. Maine South has not played East in several years, but Mr. Tilley feels they have a good chance against them. The New Trier East Indians have lost one game. Maine South is still undefeated with a record of five wins, no loses, and four ties.

Mark Curtis, the team captain, feels the New Trier East game will be a tough game and that if South can beat the Indians, the Hawks can win conference.

Michael Zdeblick, a returning letterman, said that New Trier East is a tough team, but he feels that Maine South has the talent necessary to win.

Last Saturday, the Hawks shut-out the Waukegan West Raiders 9-0. The first

quarter scoring didn't start until Mark Dudko scored on a penalty shot with 11:10 left in the first quarter. Then, with 9:10 left, Marty Leever scored, assisted

by Chip Stenholt. The first quarter ended with Maine South leading the Raiders 20.

The second quarter started off with Tim O'Leary scoring with 17:47 left in the second quarter. O'Leary was assisted by Erik Sator. There was no other scoring in the second quarter, but goalie Dan Szumal made a great save towards the end of the quarter. The score was now Maine South 3; Waukegan West 0.

The third quarter started off quickly with Leever scoring within the first two minutes. Leever was assisted by Mitch DiCicco. Within another minute, Dudko scored. There were no goals until the last 2^ minutes when Stenholt scored two goals. Assisting Dudko and Stenholt were John Kenneally, Pat Meehan, and Kurt Wessel. The third quarter ended with Maine South 7; Waukegan West 0.

The fourth quarter went slowly, until with 2:51 left, Dudko scored, assisted by Leever. Then with 34 seconds left in the game, Leever scored, assisted by Martin Fitzsimons. This ended the game with the final score Hawks 9; the Raiders 0.

At the conclusion of the game, both Leever and Dudko had a hat-trick.

Also, the Hawks defense played so well throughout the game that only a few attempts were even made on South's goal. Play like this has allowed the Hawks to remain undefeated.

This year's soccer squad is the largest squad Maine South has ever had. When asked, Mark Curtis commented that the larger squad is helping the team to play better because of more competition within the squad for positions. Also, he remarked that the team is well rounded and that first and second string are very close.

Volleyball to compete against Evanston

by Sheryl Mooney '80 Today, the Hawks will take on Evanston in their Homecoming match starting with the J.V. game at 5 p.m. in the Spectator gym. Evanston and Maine South have not played against each other, but the team has no special strategy planned for the Wildklts.

"We're just going to go out and play our game," Coach Saunders said.

"Evanston was one of the schools that participated in the New Trier East Invitational recently and didn't make it out of their pool."

Incidently, Maine South took first place honors in that meet and was refered to as the "spoil sport" of the tournament.

An interesting upcoming event for volleyball fans will occur at Glenbrook North tomorrow when teams from Kentucky, Ohio, University of Illinois, and others will be attending as well as the Hawks of Maine South.

The Maine South girls' volleyball team has pounced upon its opponents in the early going of the 1979 season. The teams have been very successful this season in romping their opponents. The varsity has achieved an impressive record of 9-1 so far while the J.V. is 4-1, and the freshment are 1-2.

Coach Debbie Saunders is very optimistic about the team's chances in state. "I expect a good finish in state this year," Coach Saunders commented.

"We have seven returning seniors on this team and they add a steadiness and consistency to the team. We also have a strong backup."

The seven returning seniors are Joanie Boesen, April Fischer, Lori Madsen, Julie Nelson, Kal Schroeder, Lynette Vedrine and Laura Skaathun.

Kal Schroeder commented about the team. "We've been on volleyball together for four years, so we know each other's habits."

April Fischer added, "There is a more relaxed attitude among us and constant communication during the game."

No captain was chosen for this year's team. Instead, the honor is rotated among the seven seniors.

doni in fourth, Kathy Dude in fifth, and Maureen Barry in seventh.

Dave Phillips, who is the team captain and one of their best runners, pointed out that it takes five runners to make a good cross country team. "We have three front nmners, but we need two more strong people," Phillips said. This year's team is better than last year's and we should place better in the conference compared to last year."

Dave especially praised the efforts of junior Tim Crowe.

Golf to participate In Invitational meet byMlkeHuyler'80 Tomorrow, the Maine South Varsity Golf team will travel to Lake Bluff Country Club to take part in the Lake Forest Invitations. The tournament is made up from 30 area schools, with 7 members on a team, each playing 18 holes.

The team has been off to a slow start, but after last Monday's impressive victory over Elmwood Park, the Hawks hope to be on the track again. When asked about the teams progress, Mr. Ross, Head Varsity Coach said, "We haven't been playing up to our potential.

Monday's victory was the beginning for us, and hopefully we will continue this success."

The Varsity squad is paced by seniors; Steve Heinol, Mike Huyler, Dave Kuechenberg, James Naatz, and Dan Novak.

The varsity has been helped by juniors Paul Ellsworth, Roger Gundersen, Mike Passaneau, and Jerry Riordan.

Dave Kuechenberg has led the team with an in^resfive 41 average and Mike Passaneau is close behind with an average of 42.

Mr. Ross feels that with the coming conference meet and another District championship, the Hawks can finish with a winning season.

Some highlights of the season have been Steve Heniol's 37 at Park Ridge Country Club, Mike Passaneau and Dave Kuechenberg being consistently in the low 40's, and the amount of juniors playing.

The Frosh-Soph golf team also has been off to a slow start, but with some key matches coming up, they hope to bc'tter their record.

Some standouts on the Frosh-Soph are Joe Bressler, Ed Fagerstrom, George Panagakis, Frank Parrino.
