School Play to be 'David and Lisa' Maine South's all-school play, "David and Lisa", will be performed on February 23, 24 and 25 at 8 p.m.. Ticket sales will begin on February 6 and may be purchased during lunch periods, in the bookstore, at the door or from cast members. The cost of the tickets will be $2.50 for adults and $2.00 for students and senior citizens. The play deals with students between the ages of 14 and 17 years, who attend a school for the mentally disturbed. David, the son of wealthy, over-protective parents, cannot stand to be touched, while
Submissions needed Graffiti, this year's Creative Writing Magazine, is accepting submissions for its winter and spring issues. Any original poetry, short stories or drawings can be submitted. All material is judged by student staff members, and the magazine is studentproduced with the help of Sponsor Ken Beatty. Graffiti editors include Chief Editor Laura Marti, Chief Judge Cris Carmody, Art Editor Tom Duffy and Sales Judge Nanci Calamari.

Registration required Current law requires that 18 year old males register with the Selective Service System. Such registration can have impact on eligibility for benefits of Federal student financial aid and certain job placement programs to further education and careers. Male students who are 18 years of age can register by visiting their local post office, filling out the appropriate form, and returning it to the postal clerk. I Failure to register may make students inleligilbe for benefits andfailure to register with the Selective Service within 30 days of the 18th birthday is a violation of Federal law.
Lisa, an unloved child, has formed a split personality. Thus, the story revolves around these two. The story, full of both laughter and seriousness, shows how they learn to cope with Ufe. In this particular production, the audience well need to use their imagination because there will not be many props used. Instead, sets will be spotlighted when action does occur and darkened when it does not. This follows a similar format used in movies. Timing is very important, so rehersals will be
held every night. The cast, composed of 22 students, according to Mr. Donald Martello, is "looking strong". The English department will incorporate "David and Lisa" into its sophomore level curriculum this year. Classes wil read and study the play then see special cuts from it. Mr. Marian Davis, English department chairman, believes, "Drama should be seem rather than read." Ken Weichert will star as David and Beth Ann Karabin as Lisa. The student director for this year's production is Karen Christensen.

Point of
View
Girls get revenge at Girls' Choice You can call it Turnabout, or you can call it Sadie Hawkin's Dance, or you can call it Girls' Choice. But whatever the dance is named. Girls' Choice always manages to turn the halls of Maine South into a gossip haven during the month of February. With this year's Girls, Choice dance close at hand (March 3), you may find the following thoughts of one obcessed girl all too familiar. January 1,: / resolve to go to Girls' Choice this year. I don't care if I only have five dollars. I don't care If he doesn't drive. And I don't even care if he Is the only guy left with a purple polyester suit. I'm going!
ed down to ten guys. That one in second period is kind of nice. But what will we talk about at dinner? Dinner! I haven't even thought about that. I wonder... are you supposed to make reservations now? January 27: This Girls' Choice thing has got to go. I never wanted to be liberated! Six of my friends have already asked guys to the dance. They're buying their dresses this weekend. I don't even have it narrowed down to five guys yet!
February 10: Four days before Valentine's Day. hAaybe I should send my five privileged finalists carnations and then see who rolls his eyes and who doesn't. January 3: / resolve to POSSIBLY go to No. Maybe I'll go to Siberia. I hear the the Girls' Choice dance. I have it narrow- snow's great there.
Student views on Girls' Choice Some students had the following feelings about Girls' Choice: Lisa Zembowski, '86, "You get to go to a dance with someone you really want to go with." Tim Bellows, '85, "I haven't slept for a month wondering if someone is gomg to ask .me." Helen Athens, '85, "1 like having a chance to ask a guy out." Julie Karbusky, '85. "1 like the idea of paying because whenever we go out he doesn t pay so now I can finally take him out. Kelly Roder, '85, "Girls' Choice is a chance to meet a guy you've wanted to get to know better."
A junior girl, "I like being in the driver's seat, all those guys sweating it out." Dan Gayford, '84, "It's silly." Mark Filip, '84, "Just remember to chew your food." Mike Moore, '85, "It's just free food." Pete Silkowski, '84, "I think it's a good thing because the role reversal gives insight to both sides." Joel Emersol, '84, " Facist propaganda!" Dave Schwieder, '85, "It's a swell time." Phil Bomrad, '85, "It's great, as long as someone asks me." Paul Carlbourgh, '84, "It's a change of pace, gives the girls a chance to ask the guys they like."
Dimitra D e F o t i s Febraury 17: O.K. I think I know who it will be. I hope everyone else puts this much thought into this subject! Now, when do I ask him?' I see him in the hall...no. In class? Tacky. A note? That would leave evidence! Forget that. Maybe the best idea is calling him at home. What if his mother answers. Or a kid brother. "It's a girl on the phone!!" I can hear it now. Why me? Why is life so difficult?! February 24: He said yes! Something went wrong. This was too easy! Tickets, restaurant, reservations, transportation, a dress. Good grief. I can't deal with this. What's the event? Oh yeah, a dance or something. Almost forgot. March 3: After having fallen asleep in the bathtub, I'm debating staying home for fear of looking like a prune. I'm leaving at 4pm so we can go to a few million houses for pictures. We'll probably want to forget March 3 ever existed in a few months. 3:45, a little early but gotta beat rush hour. Door closes at 9pm. Postscript: Siberia, March 10: Well... I will have about two rolls of film to remember this wonderful event by. And that purple suit... the pictures ought to be vibrant! Six couples at a little Japanese restuarant, that is, once we found the place. Never did learn how to use chopsticks-and needless to say, we all went home quite hungry. Home. Couldn't find the backdoor key. Windows were always fun to climb through in high heels and a dress. Oh, what's that? The dance? Oh yeah, it was OK.
New drinking age affects students On July 1, 1984 the drinking age in Wisconsin will be raised to ninteen. Presently, to drink in Wisconsin you must be eighteen years old This new change in Wisconsin legislature affects those seniors who will be eighteen this year because they only have until July 1 to legally drink in our neighboring state. The following students had some views about the change in Wisconsin's drinking age: Jody Johnson, '84, "I think it's stupid to change the drinking age by one year. If they're going to change it, then they might as well change it to 21." Torre Anderson, '84, "I don't have much to say because pretty soon there will be a national drinking age of 21." , Martha Phillips. '85, "The change of the ^ g a l drinking age will not make any difference because older friends can still buy the hquor.' Beth Murray, '84, "The grandfather clause in the Constitution will enable me to drink in Wisconsin anyways because I'm already eighteen So. it really doesn't matter to me."
Chris Paterakis, '84, "Although they're changing the drinking age to be ninteen, it's not going to stop anyone from drinking. They can just get it from their friends which they always do anyways." Chris Grahn, '84, "I feel it's neccessary because kids abuse the privilege of being able to drink at the age of eighteen, especially the kids from Illinois." Matthew Curtis, '84, "They should raise the drinking age to ninteen for beer and 21 for liquor." Bill Kounellas, '84, "Raising it one year really wouldn't make a difference because people aren't much smarter." Leo Karris, '84, "It will be a hardship for most of the seniors here who will or have already turned eighteen. The weekend 'roadtrips' may be discouraged and this may save lives. I'm all for it." Steve Klancnik, '84, "It should remain eighteen for beer and ninteen for hard liquor."
Nancee Haase, '84, "Every year since I could think of they always change the rules. The Class of '84 seems to be waiting three more years for everything. I don't go to Wisconsin a lot and when I do I've never been carded. I feel bad, though, for the people who plan on going up there for their eightieth birthday (which is a tradition) and they can't go because the age is changed to ninteen." Sherrill Hlavarty, '85, "I don't think that one year will make a drastic difference. If kids want to drink, they will always find a way." Chris Hardin,'84, "The new law is unfair because it only means that seventeen year olds will have to wait one more year before they can legally drink." Tim Bellows, '85, "It should still be eighteen because an eighteen year old can take just as much responsibility as a ninteen year old." Ami Albright, '84, "Changing the drinking age will not make a difference because kids can obtain fake l.D.'s anyway." page 3
AFSers share experiences
by Louise Berns
Last summer I was an AFS student in Zacatecas, Maxico. Zacatecas, with its population of approximately 150,000 people, is nestled between four mountains in central Mexico. Settled in the 1500's, the city is very old and when I first arrived 1 found it difficult to appreciate its beauty. Soon, however, the cobblestoned streets and ancient buildings developed a charm of their own and one of my favorite pastimes became exploring the city. Though the city appears very old, Zacatecas is a modern city. Also, to my surprise, there was a growing middle class. My family was a lower middle class family who had enough money to live on plus a few luxuries. So though poverty did touch my life on the streets, I did not live in it. I think what most affected my stay was my family. I had nine brothers and sisters and when my whole family got together at my ""
Class Struggles
father's house, there were 25 of us. What deeply impressed me about the Mexican people is their family unity. Even though many of my brothers lived away from home with their families, every weekend we got together and shared each other's lives. My family was very loving and understanding. The first day when they opened the door to me, they also opened their hearts. My AFS experience had a great impact on me. First, it changed a lot of the preconceived notions I held about Mexican people. But, more importantly, I was given the chance to develop beautiful relationships that will stay with me for the rest of my life. by Sieve Langdon 1 spent ten weeks in Thailand through the AFS exchange program this past summer. 1 lived with a family in Bangkok and went to school everyday with my brother and sister who were near my age.
My stay in Thailand was both challenging g^ and fun. I had to cope with a language barrier ^ V and a very different lifestyle. The food was especially challenging because I was not used to some of the spices or eating rice three times a day. After I got used to the differences in Thailand I really began to enjoy my stay. 1 wasn't lonely because I had friends at school who could speak English fairly well. I enjoyed going to school because of the interesting classes that I took like Thai music , Judo, and Aikido. Another enjoyable portion of my stay was travelling within Thailand. I visited the northern province of Chiang-Mai and also saw the Bridge on the River Kwai in Kanchanaburi. Travelling exposed me to a more authentic look at Thailand because Bangkok is more westernized. My last week in Thailand was spent with another family in a small rice community north of Bangkok. I was very fortunate to spend a week in an area that was more primitive than Bangkok. I lived in a two room house which had neither running water or a telephone and was built on stilts on a river. The lifestyle was more simple and slower. Although I was there only a week, I became very close with the family and I felt like a part of the family by the end of my stay. My entire stay in Thailand was both educa-^^ tional and enjoyable. Thailand is a fantastic^F country. It has beautiful people, very interesting customs and culture, and some of the most breath-taking landscape in the world.

Columnist asi<s for team recognition When I walked out of the Winter Spirit Assembly two weeks ago, all I could think about was how lousy it is that our hockey team is not recognized by our school. Then, during the course of the school day, several guys on the team told me that the Maine East and Maine West hockey teams were recognized and the decision to refuse recognition to our team rested with our assistant principal, Mr. Reczkiewicz. I was realty mad, and after school that day I went in to Mr. Reczkiewicz's office and told him I wanted to know the reasons behind his decision. 1 was ready to tell him how popular hockey games are and how hard all of the guys on the team work and how unfair he was being by refusing to acknowledge our team's accomplishments in Southwards and the Monday morning sports report. I wish I could tell you that after some persuasive talking 1 was able to get Mr. Reczkiewicz to change his decision and grant recognition to the team, but I can't. The reason I couldn't get Mr. Reczkiewicz to change his decision is because the hockey page 4
recognition policy isn't Mr. Reczkiewicz's decision to make. The refusal of recognition for our hockey team is a district policy which our school is bound to enforce. The reason the district policy exists is the result of a lawsuit brought against Maine South three years ago by a girl who was injured at Oakton Ice Rink. At this game, a girl was struck by a hockey puck and received some injuries. Later, this girl's parents sued Maine South on the grounds that our school didn't provide adequate safety precautions for our team's hockey spectators. Our hockey team is not a school sponsored activity and therefore the school is not responsible in any way for what goes on at the games. Our school won the lawsuit, principally because Maine South's lawyers were able to prove at the trial that our school absolved itself of the team and that the team was not acknowledged at school at all. No announcements, no press coverage, no scores. That is why our hockey team is not recognized and that is why the district policy exists for all three Maine schools.
Mark
Filip
Several of the guys on the team have told me that their fathers are lawyers and insurance men and that they know a way for our team to be recognized that will still keep the school from being sued. Great, but don't talk to me, don't talk to our school administration, talk to the district lawyers and get the policy changed. If you do know a way for our team to be recognized it would be nice to finally be able to cover the hockey team right here in Southwards. The fact that Maine East and Maine West supposedly recognize their teams will just make your case better by enabling you to show the hypocrisy of the present system. One other thought on the Winter Spirit Assembly. Who didn't think that the band and dancers were the greatest? We should have a night where we just clear out a gym and let all the bands from our school come and play and everybody else can come and listen and dance. Maybe we could do it in the spring sometime,| on a Friday night or something. It would be a way for our bands to get some exposure where everybody could hear them and would be a good time for everybody involved.

Fashion: new trends not unlike yesterday's by Pally Johnson What is fashion? Definition: the build, tiake, shape, looks, etc., of a thing; as a coat "of an odd fashion. The accepted style of a thing at a particular time or among certain people; as fashions in shoes; hence, something that is in style. Today's fashion is molded from the fashion form of as long ago as the early 1920's. The large, puffy shoulders on today's coats and dresses resembles the 20's look. Pill box hats, pointed shoes, and tight skirts are not only seen in the old movies but also in today's business world and night life. The same look of everything being pointed was also seen on Joan Crawford, Greta Garbo, and Bette Davis, just to name a few, in the 40's and 50's. So the style really never went out of "style." Men have their style, too. They have pretty well kept the style that was popular in the 50's. Starting from the top and working the way down: short hair, oxfords of various colors, argyle vests and sweaters, jeans with the cuffs rolled up, no socks or white socks, and loafers or "dock shoes." Though I may say the loud plaid pants and matching suit coats are out of style. The plaid pants are in style for golfers, but those who golf, please try to remember that a white shirt goes very nicely with those plaid pants. One can't really say that what is in style for men is preppy, because it is comfortable, and even people who don't consider ^hemselves preppy wear this fashion. P Long hair is no longer the fashion for men. Short hair is in! The "navy" or "flat top" is the look. Some guys wear their hair longer in the back and very short on top. This could be called the "Spike Cut," but it is mostly in style for people who are new wavers or punk rockers. Even greasing the hair is in style. So if
you are looking for a good grease, ask your dad where he bought his dippidy doo. Surely the drug store can provide you with what you're looking for. Today guys are also getting perms. So, guys, even you can experience what a joy it is to sit for an hour with curlers in your hair. Girls, in reading the weekly fashion section, 1 have found that the hair style the "Page Boy" is in style again. If you are an old movie buff, you will have seen that same style on the women in the 30's and 40's. The "new" look for women consists of large bulky clothes, or tight pants and large sweaters. A spike heel is not as popular as it used to be. Now the "French Heel," which is shorter and contoured, is more popular. So, girls, we won't have to break our necks on those silly spike heels! There are four types of styles. PUNK: chains, safety pins, tight pants, combat boots (for when you feel like fighting), and truly grubby shirts. NEW WAVE: Bright, colorful clothes, baggy pants in any color you wish to buy them in. Large sweaters that are of various colors, preferably loud colors, and warm or plain vests. Remember the pants you always saw Lucy wear on "I Love Lucy?" The ones everyone called floods. Well, they are very much in style now. Or should 1 say again? For the jewelry, large earrings and flashy beads. PREPPY: Any type of pants will do, as long as they're not worn and faded. Oxfords and sweaters with pearls or any beads. Earrings: simple. Shoes: loafers with socks or without (depending on the weather). COMFORTABLE: Or should I say Flashdance? Ripped shirts, sweat pants, gym shoes. Now, the ripped shirts have to be pre-ripped.
Inter-school dates worthwhile? by Cathy Flynn They are there. As you knew they would be, the passionately embracing "locker couple." Jealously, you turn away, realizing miles and a school district separate you from your loved one. If you are one of the many students who choose to date someone from another school, this scene may not be as far-fetched as it first appears. Whether you talk endless hours on the phone or see each other at work every day, this dating situation is a different one from the everyday school couple relationship. Although the disadvantages of an 8-to-3 separation are numerous, most students spoken to felt it was a rewarding experience. Lauren Jackson, '85, said, "There are twice as many things to do and twice as many dances." Kirsten Astorga, '85, commented, ''You get (to meet whole new groups of people." Another plus is that the distraction of a fulltime courtship is eliminated. Mark, a junior, stated, "It's easier to concentrate on schoolwork when you're not always together."
Seeing the time apart as positive, Julie Karbowski, '85, said, "We communicate much better face to face, and the time we have is more special." Deneen Scamardo, '85, sees plenty of advantages in her relationship with a senior from Taft: "It's better because there is more freedom; he's not constantly aware of what you're doing." Some of the negative aspects of this type of dating relationship were seen by a few of the more realistic of those surveyed. Jim Pianka, '85, finds transportation a problem: "I don't drive yet, so 1 can't see her every day." Being apart is a disadvantage in itself. Deaner Niki, '84, said, "I miss seeing her every day; we've become very close." Deneen Scamardo, '85, gushed, "1 miss him when I'm not with him." Her friend interrupted, "She misses being called Poopsie!" Together they giggled. As you can see, dating someone from another school can be as rewarding as having a South steady.
or they are just not in touch with what is going on. They can be bought at any shop in any variety of colors. Movies and songs have had quite an influence on fashion. David Bowie's song "Fashion" and any song from "Flashdance" will give the general ideas of fashion. And for the movies, let's just say that Flashdance is in a class by itself. Without that movie we wouldn't have the "comfortable" style. So if you are looking for a fashion to fit your personality, you have quite a variety to choose from. Even if you don't want to go by any set trend, you can start your own style. Who knows, maybe it will be just as popular next year as the ones are now! 1 just had a bad thought, what if the 60's style comes fully back? Not just the mini skirts, but the bell bottoms. Even the micromini is on its way back. These days it's hard to keep up with what's going on. But the nation has gone through so many fashion changes that I don't think one more will hurt.

Zeppelin, Sabbath make metal history by Tim Soper Since the airplay of Quiet Riot and "headbanging" (B.Y.H. and metal are like slamming and punk), heavy metal has gone mainstream. This recent revival, however, is only the apex of heavy metal which has brought it to the height of its career and to my attention. The origins of modern metal can be traced to the heavy rock sounds of the late sixties. Not unlike the latest wave of heavy metal, Grand Funk Railroad and Black Sabbath have received disastrous reviews and little or no airplay, yet both have been box office hits. Grand Funk, an American trio based on the sounds of Cream and Hendrix, attained success through continuous touring. During the band's career (1970-1976) their "loud white noise" sold ten platinum albums and twenty million copies. Black Sabbath, on the other hand, has developed a cuUlike following since their beginnings in 1968. To accompany their barrage of monotonic heavy metal, they have developed a "Princes-of-Darkness" image of occult and mysticism. Many critics believe that when vocalist Ozzy Osbourne, whose singing has been compared to a "poodle in pain," left in 1979, so did their popularity. Under the redirection of Ronnie James Dio, though, the
band has continued to be the sage of heavy metal. Of all the pioneers. Led Zeppelin has become the most famous and followed. Originally the last members of the legendary Yardbirds, their repertoire included the piercing melody of Robert Plant, John Paul Jones bass and keyboard, John Bonham's sledge hammer drumming, and the six string guitar wizardry of Jimmy Page. Since their formation in 1%8, the group became famous for their heavy rock-blues and the mysticism of their "death music." (This interest in occult lead to subliminal messages on albums and black mass rituals at Page's infamous Boleskine house.) Up until John Bonham's death and the band's break-up in 1979, they broke attendance records across the states, and recently had success with the posthumous Coda disc. During their decade of rock, they became one of the few all-time supergroups, and are a household name since their release of "Stairway to Heaven." To their credit they have influenced modern metal sounds, such as those of Van Halen and Iron Maiden, and have developed into a separate entity in music. Credited as starting the second wave of Anglo metalheads (to my knowledge they're the only band worth mentioning or left from

this wave), Judas Priest is distinctly different. Although created in 1971, they did not release^k their first album until 1974, due to a lack o ( ^ ^ consistency. The result was a revue of dual guitarists playing faster, catchier, and short tunes in contrast to the distinctive style of earlier metal efforts by Led Zeppelin and Deep Purple. The stage style is also new including front man Rob Halford in his S'M gear on a "Harley." A decade later, Judas Priest has become accepted in the U.S. on the merits "Screamin for Vengeance" and their stage antics. NEXT ISSUE: AC/DC, Def Leppard, Iron Maiden, Quiet Riot, and more.

Sleuth picked This week's super sleuth is a senior guy who goes to C-129 for homeroom every morning. Everyone knows him in his third period class because he can clap and yell very well, especially in other states (y'all get it?). As a joke, his friends want to send him to Hairline Creations for an appraisal. Maybe he could sell his yellow Chevette for the money. His car is parked in the teachers' parking 'ot^N, every day and we've heard that his car r e a l l y ^ likes whipped cream. His teacher of Art of the Film praises him for beautiful stick figure drawings. His onagain-off-again relationship with a certain blond senior girl is on again-today. His locker partner dislikes the numerous centerfolds which adorn their locker along with pictures of his ex-friends of the female persuasion. During basketball games he can be found with the Madmen, wearing a red t-shirt that says, "Jerry's Kids" on the back. Cute, huh? Submit your guesses of this week's Super Sleuth to V-106. Happy hunting!

Wrestlers compete in regionals The Maine South wrestling team will compete at regionals at East Leyden today. The Hawks will face Fenton, Saint Patrick's, Gordon Tech, Oak Park, East Leyden and Fen wick. Coach Tom Ziemek stated, "We hope to get at least four or five boys to advance to sectionals." ^ Captain Tony Reda added, "There are a lot of good teams and there will be a lot of competition but I think we can do well." The Hawks did not compete against any of their regional rivals during regular season competition.
Junior Paul Walker said, "We're looking forward to regionals. We have enough talent to make it to sectionals." The Hawks have had a very uplifting season. Improvind for last year's 1-14 season, Maine South finished a respectable 6-8 this year." From the 138 pound weight class and down, the Hawks have been undefeated. Individually, Paul Walker has a record of 20-2. Marty Nistler has won all of his last five meets. Tony Reda is currently 16-4, and Captain Dave Phillips has contributed to the Hawks' winning effort.
Junior Bill Choi recently suffered a shoulder injury and will be out for the rest of the season. According to Ziemek, the loss of Choi will leave a big hold in the middle.

Faculty wins!
Indoor Track begins season The Maine South track team will take on Glenbrook South and Ridgewood in a dual meet at 4:30 today at home. Coach Bill Drennan commented, "Since it's our second meet we'll still be learning and improving. While Glenbrook South is tough competition, we expect to win." Last year, the Hawks placed third in conference behind Evanston and Maine West. The team lost three important members of the team to graduation last year. Mike Vukovich, who placed third in state in high jump, Kevin Kingston and Steve Gemmel will be missed, as they were great assets to last year's team. However, returning lettermen Larry Maigler, Dan Lampkin, Steve Steffens, Dave Greenberg and Doug Irvine will add experience and prove to be the strongholds of the team. In addition, to these runners, the coaching Itaf has recruited several talented athletes. Pole Vaulter Doug Irvine remarked, "The general outlook of the team is stronger because Mr. Sutchek has recruited a lot of gifted runners who didn't try out before."
The team is currently composed of fifty runners. "We welcome anyone who is interested to try out," said assistant coach Scott Sutchek. The team's main competition will come from Evanston, Maine East and Maine West. All three teams have a much larger track program than Maine South's. "We're aiming for second in conference," Sutchek added. The strong events for the Hawks include pole vaulting, relays and middle-distance runs. According to Coach Sutchek, the weakness of the team will be "a lack of depth." Steve Steffens commented, "We have better coaching and a better weight program this year which will greatly aid the team." Dave Krischke added, "Pole vaulting should be strong. While we have a small team, we have a lot of good athletes and are hoping for a successful season." Coach Sutchek concluded, "In practice, we've been working hard to build stamina and strength. We hope to see the effects of this in Mr. Mike Deines goes up for the shot our early meets." Page 11
Hawks host New Trier tonight Tonight at 7:30 the Maine South boy's Varsity basketball tarn will play New Trier at home. The game looks to be very close and exciting. The last game was played at New Trier's home court and the Hawks lost in the closing seconds. On Friday the 13th the Hawks met the Demons here, at Maine South. As usual for this cross town rivalry, the gym was was packed and screaming and cheering. The Hawks took the early lead and held that lead throughout most of the game. Near the middle of the fourth quarter the Demons rallied back to within a few points but the Hawks held out, A few minutes later the Demons rallied again and scored to victory with many free throws. On the 14th Maine South played at New Trier and made a very respectable showing. Throughout a tight game the Hawks held their
composure against the Trevians and their home-court fans. The Trevians needed to go to the last seconds before handing the Hawks another conference loss. On the 20th Maine South played the top ranked team at the:r home court. The Hawks were ready for this game and battled the Wildkits basket for basket. The game was very even and once again went down to tne last seconds before Evanston could presail. Against Oak Park and Glenbrook North, luck changed sides and the Hawks began to see things going their way. Because of this the Hawks won twice and now have a two game winning streak. Last Friday the Hawks played the Warriors of Maine West but due to dead-line we are unable to print the result. On January 20 and 27 the Hawks regained their winning form by beating Oak Park and conference rival Glen-
Soccer preparation begins by Cathy Flynn
This spring, watch for a hard-fought for new team, the Maine South girls' soccer team. Mr. Jack Tilley, who also acts as boys' soccer coach, will coach the girls' team. The team promises to be a strong addition to the Maine South sports program. Girls will compete both on varsity and junior varsity levels. Twenty-two girls will be chosen for each team. Mr. Tom Kerth will coach the JV team. All girls are eligible to be a member of the team. Mr. Tilley said, "Underclassmen may be on varsity. We're looking for skill, not age." Tryouts will be the week of March 19. The week-long tryouts will consist of a number of trials, testing skills in ball control, distance kicking and tackling. Mr. Tilley commented, "We're looking for speed and endurance, but along with that we want ball-handling skills." There will be a timed 50 vard dash and a three
mile run to test the girls' spped and endurance. Mr. Tilley, who coached girls' badminton, does not feel that coaching the girls' team will be different than working with the boys. He said, "Girls are usually more flexible than the guys, but I think we'll have to work harder on abdominal strength and endurance." Many of the girls planning to try out have played with the Park Ridge Park District in house leagues or on various traveling teams. Chris Lalik, member of the Park Ridge Under 19 Traveling team, commented, "I hope we don't lose too many girls to other spring sports that they've played on in previous years, but I think we'll still have a really good team." Eileen O'Leary of the Junior Orange Crush, said, "I'm afraid there's going to be some conflict between the girls who have played on different traveling teams; I hope everyone can just come together and play as a team."
Swimmers in conference The Maine South boys' swimming team will compete in the conference meet today. Maine West, Maine East, Glenbrook North, New Trier and evanston will all be participating. The Hawks have a record of 7-3 rendering losses to New Trier, Evanston and Glenbrook North. Coach John Doherty said, "We would like to take third if. it will be a close race but 1 think we can do it." Evanston, a conference competitor, is ranked third in slate. New Trier, another conference rival, is ranked sixth in state. "Our top swimmers are as good or better as any in the conference. Where we lack is that we page 12
are short of depth," said Coach Doherty. Individually, the outlook for the Hawks is optimistic. Captain Mark Wachendorf is undefeated in the individual medley and the 500 freestyle.
