Taking action to erase damage to the east wall, students hand Dr. Clyde Watson a check for $300. Students are, left, Vicki Marti and Hillary Rodham, co-chairmen of SC Anti-Vandalism Committee.

Committee Hopes To Curb Vandalism With Assembly student Council considers vandalism an important problem in school. Action is being taken to show causes as well as results of vandalism at Maine South by a Student Council AntiVandalism Committee.

K Club Bookstore W i l l Open Shortly "The Key Club bookstore, being moved across the hall from its present location, will be opening soon," stated Bob Elliott, the club's president.

A larger collection of books will be offered in the new bookstore for assigned and pleasurable reading.

The new bookstore is almost completed, with the exception of a few minor repairs and will soon be ready for occupation.

Watch for the opening date, which should come shortly after the beginning of the new semester.

The committee has been set up in Student Council with Hillary Rodham and Vicki Marti as co-chairmen. This committee will represent the student body in curbing vandalism around the school.

Student Council has appropriated $300 to erase the damage done to the east wall. Council has also had slides made which will show student attitudes, student respect, and the results of vandalism at Maine South.

The slides wiU be shown at separate assemblies for each class when they are completed.

Along with the slides will be speakers representing various school groups. It is hoped that, through these assemblies, the various student attitudes will be brought out and discussed.

Vicki Marti, co - chairman, pointed out, "The only way- to curb the problem of vandalism is to educate the student body about the effects such vandalism will have on individuals as well as on the school."

Preliminary t r y o u t s for South's first broadway musical, Oklahoma, will take place on January 25 through January 29.

They wiU be held after school in PA105. Mr. Lloyd Spear, Music Department Chairman, and Mr. Irwin Bell, chorus director, will do the screening for all parts.

Oklahoma will be staged April 29, 30, May 1, and 2.

"We hope to get a good response from students in departments other than just in the Music Department," Mr. Spear commented. "We not only want people who can dance and sing, but we also need people to portray dramatic values."

Publications Offer Staff Applications Freshmen, sophomores, and juniors interested in a position on next year's Eyrie, Southwords, or publicity staff should pick up application blanks in V-107 by February 1.

Editorial trainees, reporters and photographers are needed for next year. A number of trainees will be taken on for this year, second semester, by all three staffs. .Applications consist of character references to be filled out by three teachers of the student's choice and a list of the student's grades Cor the previous year.

The only academic qualification necessary is a C average.

Mr. Spear will be general director and conductor of the orchestra. Mr. Bell will be choral and dramatic director. Miss Barbara Bobrich will be choreographer, and Mr. Hal Chastain will be in charge of staging and lighting.

Oklahoma, by Rodgers and Hammerstein, is a musical version of Lynn Rigg's play Green

Grow the Lilacs. Included are such well-known songs as "Oh, What a Beautiful Momin'," "The Surrey with the Fringe on Top," "People Will Say We're in Love," and "Oklahoma."

The musical is sponsored by the Maine South Music Boosters, who contribute a great part to the production, both physically and financially.

Indians Express Gratitude Student Council recently received a letter of thanks from one of the recipient charities of the Food Basket Drive.

Saint Augustine's is a missionary project in American Indian work. The baskets were carried from the car by the Indian children who expressed much gratitude for the gifts.

Following is a letter later received from the Indians: Dear Carol and Sue, For a few minutes after you left the magnificent gift of food, all of us at Saint .Augustine's sat around in a dazed condition!

Never have we been given such a generous supply of just the food we need most, and never has it arrived at just the right time, as did yours.

During the days before Christmas, we were assisting between 35 and 45 Indian families daily.

Thanks to your graciou.sness, we were able to make Christmas dinner a reality for every family needing food.

When I offered mass Christmas Day, it was with a very special intention for God's blessing upon Maine South's student

body. I also pray that 1965 will bring you all at least a bit of the joy your friendship and concern have brought our beloved Indian families.

Gratefully, and with warmest best wishes in Christ, Father Peter John Powell, Director, Saint .Augustine's Center for American Indians

Afterwords

The Writing's on the Wall...

Student Council has initiated recently its most worthwhile campaign of the year—its campaign against vandalism. Its leadership has been commendable and deserves recognition. Alone, however, Student Council can achieve little—it is time for the students to cooperate with Council to combat vandalism.

We don't like to preach, but — do you like being branded a vandal? Think it does a lot for our school image? Whether we like it or not, the writing on the wall, the petty vandalism around the school have been building up in the community to give every student a reputation of being a vandal.

. . . Minority Ruins Image

Ridiculous, isn't it, that one half of one per cent of the student body can give all of us such an image. Yet, it's being done.

As students, we can cooperate now with Council in putting pressure on this one half of one per cent to stop destroying our school and our reputation. We can stop looking the other way and start facing the problem squarely.

If a student sees someone defacing the school^ he can report it to a teacher rather than just ignore it. This is not squealing, but, on the contrary, protecting our own reputation. We can condemn rather tlian condone vandalism.

The writing's on the wall. . .

Speech Arts, Drama Teach Poise, Effective Expression To speak effectively, to listen criticaUy, and to understand teachers better are some of the goals of the speech and drama program at Maine Township High School South. Two courses are designed to provide training and experience in those areas of dramatics, speech arts. and stagecraft.

Speech Arts is a full-year, one credit, survey course open to sophomores, juniors, and seniors. It is divided into four major areas of study: public speaking, dramatics, oral interpretation, and leadership. Students spend approximately one quarter working on each unit.

Public speaking involves concentration on preparing and delivering speeches. Students are taught to limit their subjects, to select interesting and significant material, and to organize it properly.

They are also taught to control their fear of addressing an audience. . . . Course Emphasizes Communication The area of dramatics emphasizes the importance of oral communication with increased vocal, physical, and emotional expression. This portion of the course is meant for enjoyment and personality development of the students through participation in a creative art.

Oral interpretation stresses creative reading. The goal of this unit is to teach students to read aloud communicatively, intelligenUy, interestingly, and with precise meaning.

Finally, the unit on leadership centers around those activities which are considered fundamental to successful participation in a democratic society—group discussion, parliamentary procedure, debate, interviewing, and special occasion speaking.

Throughout the Speech Arts course, students are encouraged to read newspapers, current magazines dealing with controversial issues, dramatic literature, and literary criticism.

The dramatics course is also a full-year, one credit-course open to sophomore, junior, and senior students. In this class students study the aspects of taking a written play and turning it into a live production.

They study the background and history of theatrical development, acting, directing, the technical theatre, and dramatic criticism.

Emphasis in the course is on these activities and studies which may give students better understanding and appreciation of one of the oldest forms of art in our culture. . . . Students Gain Poise Through play production in class, students may gain a sense of responsibility, self-discipline, and poise in front of an audience.

Although a very small percentage of high school students can go on to careers in the theatre arts, many students in preparation for college find participation in dramatics a necessary balance in a heavy academic program.

Stagecraft is a one-year, halfcredit course, open to all students. It deals with the backstage elements of play production. Students learn such techniques as scene designing, construction, painting, lighting, costume, and make-up.

According to Mr. Chastain, "The classroom and stage facilities at Maine South are beautifully designed to provide the proper atmosphere for instruction, individual rehearsal, and group performance without wasted space.

Beginning dramatic experiences can be enhanced if the neophyte actors and actresses can perform in front of a live audience. The above students, Melinda Chapin, Roger Voegele, Nancy Hobgood, and Terry Schaefer, are shown as they performed short dramatic scenes for Maine South English classes recently.

...Mr. Chastain Heads Program Mr. Chastain heads the speech and drama program at Maine South. He received his Bachelor of Arts degree at the University of Florida and Masters degree from the University of Michigan.

Before he began teaching at Maine East four years ago, Mr. Chastain taught at Northern Illinois University and in Grand Haven. Michigan.

Mr. Chastain teaches classes this year in Speech Arts. Dramatics, and Stagecraft. He directs the Variety Show, sponsors Thespians, coaches drama, and sponsors the stage lighting staff.

Mr. William Hoag teaches Speech Arts classes at South.

Mr. Hoag received his Bachelor degree from Iowa State Teachers College and his Masters degree at University of Colorado before coming to Maine East eleven years ago. Mr. Hoag works with the debate teams and individual speech events group.

Remple's Raiders Appear on WBBM Jan. 23 Steve Karina, Chris Hoyt, Gregg Knell, Craig Anderson, and Lee Mortenson (Rempel's Raiders) will debate North Chicago Community High School on WBBM-TV's Public Affairs Program, Rebuttal, at 1:30 p.m. on Saturday, January 23.

'Curio' Is Curious For Forms of Art Boating in the Gobi? Peanut Butter Sandwiches? Flowers and Coffins? Curio? Hm. Curio.

Look it up. Curio—something arousing interest as being novel, rare, or bizarre.

Thus was Curio chosen as the title of the Creative Arts magazine, which will consist of original prose, poetry, artwork, and photography "by students only."

Contributions will be accepted until Monday, February 15, in Room V107. Photography should be no larger than 8" by 10", and artwork should be on white cardboard, about 8" by 11", in ink or water color, black and white only. Colors cannot be reproduced. Written material should include t h e author's name, home room number, and year in school.

Co-editors Jim Casey and Kathy Moore, Editorial Editor Betsy Olson, Art Editor Cathy Lippert, who suggested the title, and Business Manager Linda Dillon have already begun solicitation and sales campaigns.

tion of debate coaches Mr. Gerhard Rempel and Mr. William C. Hoag, will debate the affirmative side of the question. Resolved: That the results of lie detector tests should be admitted as evidence to courts of justice.

For television viewing, the format of debating has been altered so that a team has four members instead of two.

The positions held by the members are each planned ahead of time so that each team has one constructive speaker, two cross-examiners, and one rebuttal speaker. . . . Steve Opens Affirmative Steve Karina will open the affirmative debate with his argument for the need of lie detector tests to be admitted in courts of justice. Steve will then submit to two cross-examinations by Maria Miller and Pat Babicz of the negative team.

This will be followed by North Chicago's opening statement given by Tom Wasneski. Gregg Knell and Craig Anderson will then cross-examine Tom. Finally, Chuck SuUenger of North Chicago and Chris Hoyt of Maine South will give the final arguments for their sides, the rebuttal.

Before the judges' final verdict is rendered, Lee Mortenson,

John Injured At Practice Crushed ribs...slipped disc... dislocated what?

Rumors have been flying around school recently as to the exact condition of senior class president John Kirchoff, who injured himself in a gymnastics practice on December 26.

John was attempting a double somersault with a full twist but managed to complete only half of the twist. He came down in a tuck position, and the impact of his knee broke his nose, three teeth, and fractured his right cheekbone.

He was taken to the hospital for x-rays, which proved to be negative. However, a plastic surgeon that examined him told John of the fractured cheekbone.

He was operated on through the roof of his mouth to restore the cheekbone and adequately support his eye. Otherwise his eye might have been one-quarter of an inch lower than the other. This condition might have caused doubled vision.

John spent five days in the hospital and had hoped to return to school last Monday, but a jaw infection set in. Tuesday he climaxed a twenty-one-day vacation, and he returned to school Wednesday.

Auto Shop Gets Dual-Use Room A dual-purpose spray-painting and steam-cleaning room has been included in the automotive facilities of Maine South. The room will be used during both the regular school year and during summer school.

The explosion-proof room will be used to teach auto spraypainting to a summer school auto body and fender class of 20 people taught by Mr. K. R. Powers, automotive instructor.

During the school year, classes will use the room for steamcleaning to remove heavy dirt and grease from engine parts.

The room is also used as a washing room to teach car washing and polishing.

The room is ceramic-tiled and equipped with filters to clean the expelled air and fans to draw in fresh air. Spray painting equipment is built in.

Mr. Powers stated, "This room will make up-to-date paint spray facilities available to Maine South students for training in modern finishing methods."

"Research on the question has brought the team together as they have spent their week-ends and vacation w-orking at gathering information for their case.

"On their trips they have gone to the Chicago Public Library and to interview with Mr, Charles Yeschke, the second in command at Reid and Associates one of the biggest lie detector firms in the country," explained Mr. Rempel.

Mr. William C. Hoag ex pressed his opinion of the raider's work as, "to the credit of Maine Township to have such fine young people doing an outstanding job and making an achievement for a first-year group."

Andersons were given a certificate for winning eight straight contests and placing among the top five teams at the contest.

As for future contests, beginner debators have two contests coming up, one at HomewoodFlossmore on January 27, and another at Oak Park on January 30.

Hawks Host West Ley den.

Suffer Year's First Defeat

Senior Hawk M i k e Andrews drives for the basket against East Leyden last Friday. South lost 52 to 51.

This evening Maine South Hawks will host West Leyden in the fifth game of this year's Des Plaines V'alley League schedule. The Hawks will be looking for their fourth win while Leyden will be after their second win. The Hawks were upset last week by East Leyden in a last-minute 52-51 finish.

The Hawks have competed in six games since the last issue of Southwords. Of these six games, they have won four and lost two.

They clobbered Morton West on Friday. December 18, 65 to

Hawk T a w k

StraightfromtheHawkman'sEgg

by Lee Kaufmann Defeat...oh despair. I could just die. This is almost as bad as if Eddie Shack were kicked out of the NHL for displaying sportsmanlike conduct. Or if the Harlem Globetrotters were to lose to the Washington Generals 69 to 0. I get all heated up over such things.

But searyously, we played a great game against East Leyden last week and should be proud of ou> team. We have yet to play East Leyden at home and I predict a win for the Hawks.

It should be the best game of the year. And that's saying a lot after the hysteria of last week's heartbreaker.

A few other predictions from the Hawkman's egg. The Niles West game should be a very interesting contest. After the somewhat shady game at Niles West which South took by a narrow margin, the fans will be up for the game. 1 hope they're not too up since the "Do unto others" rule doesn't exactly apply here. Good sportsmanship is the best answer. . . . Watch East Leyden As I said before, our next clash against East Leyden will be the one to watch. Only Morton West and Willowbrook are

any kind of a threat, on paper at any rate. We had no trouble with either of their teams before, so I'm not worried.

The rest of the league should make interesting competition.

If you like to see us score points.

West Leyden, Palatine, and Proviso West have a composite conference record of two wins and ten defeats.

Tonight's game should be an easy win with a lot of South scoring. . . . Blue Demons Slow Elsewhere on the sports scene; we find the hapless Blue Demons are having a rather slow no wins and ten losses season. A bright spot has been the scoring of Jerry Welk and Rich Lau who are both in the lop five scorers of the West Suburban Conference (remember that?).

I would also like to wish senior gymnast John Kirchoff well and hope that he has a rapid and complete recovery. It can seem very tragic when an athlete is seriously injured in high school interscholastic competition, and we all hope John comes out of this as well as before he was injured. Somehow the phrase, "it couldn't have happened to a nicer guy." doesn't seem very facetious in this case.

Tonight East Leyden will host a dual meet. Begirming on Saturday, the Indian Relays will be held at New Trier,
