Magazine seel(s student worlcs Graffiti, Maine South's Creative Writing Magazine, is accepting submissions forpublication in its second issue of the year. Students' original poems, stories and other creative works should be brought to room V-130 or the box in the bookstore, or given to an English teacher. All submissions are considered for publication by a staff of student judges. The magazine is facing a serious shortage of submissions this year. Says Mr. Ken Beatty, magazine sponsor, "I don't understand why students aren't submitting their work. It's unusual for people not to want to see their work published." "With over 2000 people in the school, there must be some writers," Mr. Beatty states. "If there is some problem, such as indifference or peer pressure, I wish someone would talk to me."

Dancers plan show The Maine South Orchesis will be presenting its annual dance show this year entitled "On With the Dance" on Mar. 7, 8 and 9 at 7:30 p.m. in the auditorium. Tickets are on sale in the bookstore, during lunch periods and at the door. "On With the Dance" contains a variety of dances including jazz, modern, tap and ballet. The show will also include solo dances by Dawn Wallenburg and Kris Nugent, Orchesis' president and vice-president respectively. Each dance is choreographed by members of Orchesis and then taught to other members. Also featured in the show are the Orchesis' apprentices, anyone who is interested in dance. Since there are no tryouts for apprentices, anyone can participate and develop their dancing while gaining experience. Proceeds from the show will help pay for costumes and future shows.
