Editor's advice: make the most of time

"These are the best years of your life."

1 can't remember who was the first person to say that to me—probably my mom or dad or even a grandparent. Whoever it was may have been right.

"These are your most formidable years, a time of growing up and of great changes."

That's the basic message of almost every magazine article written for teens. My mom has also said that to me. I'm beginning to see that it is another true statement.

Happiness and sadness, joy and pain have all been part of the roller coaster of high school. At the ripe old age of 18,1 suppose I am uniquely quahfied to advise everyone on the trials and tribulations of life. Well, I can at least speak from my own experience and offer my well-thought-out opinion.

First of all, school is, believe it or not, just what they say it is: a place to learn.

However, a person can only learn if he or she wants to learn. You may not be sitting in class physically begging your teachers for knowledge every day, but you show that you want to learn in more subtle ways, like doing your homework, passing your tests, and worrying about grades. If you care what grade you're getting in a class, you must want to learn, because you know that the only way to raise any grade is to work harder. Student/teacher communication is important, so talk to a teacher if you are having problems or if you feel a grade is unfair, but face it, no teacher will intentionally give a student an undeserved grade.

Always keep in mind that teachers grade and evaluate a student based upon the stu-

dent's willingness to learn and attention in class as well as academic performance. No person is any smarter than another; the only way anyone achieves "academic excellence" is through hard work that shows enthusiasm for learning. Those who are willing to learn, who put forth a little effort, are the ones who go far in life.

Maine South holds a fine academic reputation and employs many excellent teachers, but just as important a part of a person's development throughout high school is involvement in extracurricular and outside activities. I know, I know, ever since your freshman orientation you've heard "get involved" over and over. I heard that too, and unfortunately 1 was not involved in as many areas as I would have liked to be, especially my freshman and sophomore years. Don't put off joining the clubs you've thought about joining or participating in activities you think you might enjoy, because time files so fast that the opportunity passes before you realize it.

You'd be surprised where your activities may take you. It's too late for the seniors, but believe me, if you go through four years at this school without taking part in at least one outside activity, you're wasting your chance to be a part of the best programs a high school has to offer.

Other factors affect your personality during high school, factors which will always exist and which must be dealt with. Parents are a great nuisance and they always will be.

The trick is to agree with them every once in a while to throw them off guard. If you show them you can take care of your

responsibiUties and obey their rules, no matter how impossible those rules seem, they will gradually give you more freedom and will demand answers to fewer questions.

Friends—of both sexes—are even tougher to deal with than parents. The best thing to do is to always be an individual and do what you feel is best for yourself.

Sometimes that may be to go along with the crowd, other times you know that you should not conform. High school is a time for fun, so you should also try to stay clear of. . .uh. . ."disagreements" with friends.

Remember that you are all changing and trying to establish your own identities and personalities, and that at times you are just as stubborn or as silly as your buddy who just slammed the phone down in your ear.

You may end up with a lot of "forgive and forget" situations behind you, but that's understandable if you feel a friendship is worth the effort.

As I say farewell to my classmates, I know that I'll always remember all the good times, and the bad times, of my high school years. I've waited an eternity for graduation, and now that it's here, I feel a great deal of sentimentality and apprehension—after all, there's a big world out there to conquer. But as my brother enters Maine South next fall, I'll be telling him, "make the most of your time here—these are the best years of you life, and they'll go by much too quickly."

Students guilty of not fighting "If you're not part of the solution, you're part of the problem." This past year students have complained about things varying from graduation procedure and closed campus to unreasonable study hall teachers and the absence of doors on bathroom stalls. Granted, these are very real problems which exist between the Administration and the student body, but how often do students voice their complaints constructively and with enough conviction to be recognized, or even heard. Venting anger to friends can emotionally take a load off, but it does little to curb the problem.

Knowing that problems exist and that students have arguments to voice, it's hard

mils

to believe that the number of Letters to the Editor Southwards has received this past year can be counted on one hand. Student Council has an entire committee set up for the sole purpose of advocating student rights, but how often do students bother to find out who their homeroom representative is, much less make suggestions to them. Those students who complain incessantly but take no action are just as big a part of the problem as the Administration.

Contrary to popular belief, the Administration is vulnerable to student opinion. In fact, when a concentrated effort was made this year by students (and parents!) to keep graduation outside, sur-

The School Board recently announced the appointment of a new superintendent to head District 207.

Dr. James L. Elliott has signed a 3-year contract to serve as superintendent of the school district beginning July 1, 1985. His appointment comes as a result of a nation-wide search conducted by a committee from the Illinois Association of School Boards and District 207 board members.

Elliott comes to the district from his post as superintendent of Pekin Community High

prisingly, plans were altered to accommodate student interest. While these seniors probably didn't complain more than the entire student body complains about the rigid and insufferable library rules, they were upset enough to complain to the right people: the School Board, Student Council, and Southwards.

Blame for all the barriers between Executive Committee and the student body rest on both parties. For the students are guilty of not fighting hard enough for issues they believe in.

notes and my crazy teacher. To Mr. Bitta, I leave my huka. And to Officer Frances, I leave all my unfinished smokes he can finish. But one thing we (the senior class) won't give up are the parties at Farmers Field!! And last but not least, to Mr. Brady, I leave all my forged gym passes that he'll accept. "Hail Adamo" and to my mom all the drugs under my bed.

I, Christina Lalik, do abandon the following: for female lower classmen of drama, Tom Duffy and Ken Weichert. To Crew, Saturday sessions and oatmeal cookies. To my sibling, Mr. Fashion himself, I leave GQ, Caruden, and No-Doz. To Drew, I withhold my third strike. To Pete, nights at the beach and the belief that Einstein probably is God. And to Thomas Duffy, I leave strong-willed women, a psychoanalyst, and a director's chair in California.

Retirees

Counselor Huizinga retires # Mr. John Huizinga, a well-known counselor in the school and especially among his homeroom students in C-108, is retiring at the end of this school year.

After graduating from Northwestern University, Mr. Huizinga began his career in education at Maine East. He taught in the Social Science Department for 10 years, and took an active role in Maine East's production of the annual variety shows. Mr. Huizinga was also involved with the sponsoring of many programs such as Student and Class Council and the Parent-Teacher Organization while at East.

He came to Maine South when the school John Huizinga Counselor

has played an enormous role in the ParentTeacher Organization for 19 years. He stated that our PTC programs are very unique, since they keep the parents informed by developing new programs that might be beneficial to them. PTC sponsored the Educator of the Year Award and a program for the parents of incoming freshmen, just to name a few of the educational and informative programs that this active organization sponsored this past year.

Mr. Huizinga feels that he has gotten a lot of satisfaction, positive reinforcement and enjoyment out of his job as counselor at Maine South. He has gotten much satisfaction from turning students into the world, hoping they have "learned to learn" and seeing how their lives turn out.

opened in 1964. He then became a counselor and has advised students in the same office for 21 years.

Besides counseling at South, Mr. Huizinga

After 31 years of service in the education and counseling fields, he stated, "I'm looking forward to retirement and 1 anticipate that I'll find something to keep me busy."

Lindberg to retire to freelance Mr. Kermit Lindberg, lead teacher of the Art Department, is retiring at the end of this school year after 26 years of teaching.

Mr. Lindberg received both his BA and his MFA degrees from the University of Illinois.

He began his teaching career in Elk Grove District 59, where he became the district art coordinator in 1960.

He worked at Dempster Junior High for a year before coming to District 207 in 1964, teaching at Maine East. He then moved to Kermit Lindberg Art Lead Teacher

D

Maine North as chairman of the art department. He came to Maine South when Maine

North closed in 1981, and became lead teacher in 1982.

Mr. Lindberg comments, "The kids at Maine South are terrific. I respect the efforts of those who find art a serious subject, but my only disappointment is in those who think art is merely fun and games."

"I think that art holds a very important place in life," he continues, "and that to be well-rounded one should have some acquaintance with the fine arts. This includes music and drama as well as the visual arts."

In his retirement Mr. Lindberg plans to build his son a shop where he can continue his work on Corvette repair and the building of racing cars. He also wants to continue his freelance art work of architectural renderings and brochures for builders.

VanProyen to go scouting Mr. Glen VanProyen, Maine South gym teacher and coach, is changing careers after this year.

Mr. VanProyen has been coaching and teaching for 31 years. In his pan time, he has been scouting for the Dodgers for 20 years. He has had the distinction of signing such players as Ron Kittle, Mike Marshall, and many others who are playing now and who have played in the minor leagues.

Mr. VanProyen will now be a full-time scout for the Dodgers.

Glen VanProyen Physical Education Teacher/Coach )

Mr. VanProyen has been to many schools across the country and throughout the state in particular, officiating basketball games and scouting, and through his observations he claims that "Maine South takes a back seat to no one."

He has coached football and baseball at almost every level during his years at Maine South.

Mr. VanProyen states, "I've made a lot of good friends in the 31 years I've worked in this school system. I'll miss those friends. We'll still be in touch.

"I'll probably miss the association with the young people—particularly in the coaching area," he concludes.

Commentary

June 6, 1985

Always look on the bright side Now that the 1984-85 school year is drawing to a close, 1 could complain about many of the negative aspects of our school such as the students needing Executive Committee approval for just about everything except going to the bathroom (and even then it takes an Act of Congress to obtain a hall pass). But instead I'm going to try to hit upon some of the finer points of Maine South without trying to sound too sappy.

I've noticed at least a couple of good points about South that few people realize when they refer to the school as "a prison."

For example, the school offers a handful of alternatives to students on test days.

Let's say that you have a test scheduled first period and you are totally unprepared.

Maine South offers the students a wide variety of alternatives known as "loopholes."

For instance, three times a year a student is allowed to sign in late before 9 a.m. and this in itself has been known to save the hides of quite a few students. In addition.

there is always your good friend the nurse to visit when you suddenly feel very ill when the test period arrives. And let's not forget the C.R.C. where a student can suddenly become very interested in the University of the Western Bahamas when a representative visits during the period under discussion.

Now call me crazy, but I don't think that "prisons" give you these kinds of opportunities.

Another positive point of Maine South is some of its teachers. Take for instance, Gordon McLean, the fine arts chairman and Concert Band director. He is the greatest guy to pick on. In his 21 years at South his students have done everything to him. I'm sure he has been tee-peed at least 50 times including one time on the inside of his house. Also throughout the years, his devoted students have made copies of his car keys and moved his car to different spots in the parking lot each day, taped newspaper over every window on his house overnight, stolen everything out of his of-

fice except the phone which was connected permanently to the wall, barricaded off his driveway with construction horses and filled the inside of his car with crumpled newspaper. Even street signs have had a weird way of migrating to his lawn overnight.

Mr. McLean (Gordy) is a real super sport which is good because I personally owe him at least one good "one" before the year is through. (Suggestions as to what this joke should be are welcomed.) So next time you pass Mr. McLean in the hall, stop and compliment him on the fabulous tie he's wearing. No one ever does and he deserves it.

Maine South, in my eyes, does have at least a couple of good points about it. So some day when you're on your way to lunch and are really feeling down about this "lousy school," look on the bright side of things and treat yourself to lunch at McD's.

After all, who would know??

Andy Duerkop News Editor

Wills ... Wills ... Wills ... Wills ... Wills ...

I leave to Beth Englemann Mr. Kantrovich and his wonderful speeches. Also I leave to you all the Domino's pizza you can eat. (Also the heartburn.) Enjoy living at Showbiz this summer. You're a great friend! Take care and love ya, Leanne Hudson. P.S. To Suzette, I leave a blue bunny! Love ya.

I, Kim VanCamp, leave to my perfect, nicest sister, all of my English reports that she did for me throughout the year. I also give her my half of the car (in two months). To Mary Lekan, I leave a night at Poets with Bob! RJ, Kathy and Mary, I leave a lunch table of gossip. And as for Chris Turk, I will see you every day over

the summer and every day after so I leave you nothing.

1, Sue Pfaff, do hereby leave to my "little" sister, Julie, the following: first dibs on the shower in the morning, my turns with Wicky, a nag-free walk to school, McD's instead of Wendy's, the checked afghan, and a quiet, lonely house—sorry kiddo—I keep the Mazda keys! To the quiche woman, Jen, I leave a candlelight quiche dinner with Randy. To Amy, I leave the memories of Frank Griffin—may you someday see him again!

I, Kevin Fettersen, being of no mind and no body, leave to my sister an ulcer because that's

what you gave me. To Chris, 2 tickets to Milford's next championship game against Arizona. To Anne, Val, Honor, Liz, Lisa five pairs of my best boxers. To Aaron, three years in Ft. Lauderdale and three more in Champaign (not watching of course).

To Nancy, I leave my locker and all the notes written on it. I also leave all the guys we admired. To Aaron, I leave all the upper class girls you could handle, or that are interested in you. Good luck! To Steve Losacco, I leave my assignment book with all the gross and sweet comments that you wrote to me. I leave all of you my year's supply of candy! Love, Lauren.

Student Council President cites achievements The Maine South student body was served very well by their Student Council, though there were some minor personnel complications.

Student Council began activities in the summer helping with booksales, selling Busy Signals, and also providing the first freshman orientation program at South called Project Freshmen. Student Council also organized a folder of materials which is available to all new Maine South students to help with their orientation into our school. Homecoming was again run very successfully by Student Council, with activities such as the carnival, parade, assembly, and queen election. Student Council also sponsored the Fall Ice Cream Social and held a food drive at Thanksgiv-

ing. The third annual Student Council Leadership Conference was held in October.

In November, Student Council was very busy with V-Show, providing much of the publicity, ticket sales, a free dinner for the cast and crew, and the initial funding for sets and equipment.

During the winter. Student Council held a Faculty Appreciation Day, ran the Christmas Card Exchange, and delivered Busy Signals. The winter Spirit Assembly was also organized and run by Council, as well as the AFS/Brotherhood Assembly.

During the spring. Student Council sponsored the second annual Spring Festival, which included an Art Fair, a Spring Sports •Assembly, and a Band Concert, and also

held another charity Ice Cream Social. Student Council also participated in student exchanges with schools including Maine East, Maine West, New Trier, ProvidenceSt. Mel, and Evanston.

Many student rights issues were discussed and debated by Student Council, including Halloween Dress Up Day, the parking situation, talking study halls, and outdoor graduation ceremony, to name a few.

Recently, Student Council held elections for next year's officers, committee chairmen, complex leaders, representatives, and At-Large. The new Council is now installed, and I wish them luck.

â&#x20AC;˘Editor reviews the year in sports Last year when I was selected as Sports Editor for Southwards I couldn't have predicted the great year that Maine South sports would enjoy in '84 and '85.

Remember way back last fall? The football team had an impressive record of 7-2. Including a 5-0 start and a ranking among the top ten in the state. Not only that, but the football team won our Homecoming game, and it wasn't even raining.

Last fall we also had an impressive showing from our girls' teams. The swimming team placed second in state behind team leader Courtney Madsen. Madsen won two state titles and was selected as an All-American. For her coaching abilities. Miss Butler was voted Coach of the Year in Illinois.

The boys' swimming team also had a fine year. The highlight of the season surely came when Matt Par placed in the state meet.

Before the beginning of the boys' swim season I received a semi-nasty note from Matt informing me of the upcoming season and asking for some coverage. I hope that he has been satisfied with the print and that he won't send me any more notes.

Speaking of abuse that I have endured during this past year, not long ago Lisa Gonnella verbally berated me because she was not satisfied with the amount of space allotted to the girls' badminton team, so here goes. The girls' badminton team has had an excellent year placing seventh in state. Qualifying for state were Kathy Zobel and Lisa Winkler in singles play and the doubles teams of Lisa Gonnella and Sue Nesbit, and Liz Pintz and

Jody Broud. Kathy Zobel placed 13th, the team of Lisa Gonnella and Sue Nesbit placed ninth, and Liz Pintz and Jody Broud placed 10th. Oh, by the way Lisa, I've got some suggestions for Eyrie.

Another girls' team that has done well this year is softball. The team was undefeated in regular season play and won the Central Surburban League title.

This season the boys' track team had a fine year. They lost only one dual meet this season.

The team placed second at the Wheeling Invitational and won the Spartan Relay held at Glenbrook North. Qualifying for state were Mark Fritz, Scott Kingston, and Brian Scerba.

Scerba's time in the 300 meter low hurdles ranked him among the top five in the state.

While on the subject of the track team it is necessary to mention the installation of a spanking new all-weather track here at South.

Although the construction reeked havoc with both graduation and track practice, it is a welcome addition.

The new track is a definite improvement of our stadium; however, there are some very important features still missing from Wilson Field. I'm speaking, of course, of lights. I know the arguments used against lights in Wrigley Field have merit, but a stadium just barely 20 years old built on top of a garbage dump just doesn't have the same aura of quaint tradition.

The redecorating of the North field has become out of hand and has caused many needless inconveniences. I would like to thank our athletic department for all the little things

that they have done for the discus throwers on the track team. The walk out to the most inaccessible part of the school grounds is a thrill that I look forward to evefy day. The location of the throwing circle near Talcott Avenue is sure to create some angry motorists when they find a projectile coming through their windshield. It needs to be noted that the discus was invented by the Greeks for the specific function of killing people. May I also mention the mound of dirt on our throwing area is a nice touch that really adds to the landscaping. The challenge of dodging construction equipment every day at practice should not be left out either. May I remind you that we have a sophomore who came within one place at the district meet of qualifying for state. I hope the discus throwers will gain more respect in the future.

On a sad note we have two retirees from the physical education department this year. Mr. Jack Tilley has resigned from coaching the boys' soccer team. Mr. Tilley will continue to teach here at South and will continue to coach girls' soccer.

The second retiree is Mr. Glen VanProyen.

Mr. VanProyen, a Maine Township alumni, will be retiring from his position as a gym teacher. He will devote his time to the Los Angeles Dodgers for whom he serves as a scout.

As you can see there has been much going on in Maine South sports this year. I'm happy to have been here to enjoy them.

Leaving all constructive advice J •

by T\m ZahrBefore finally leaving this institution, I would like to remember the unique people and events that have existed and occurred here within the last years. So that this article might be more than just a reflection on the past, I ask students of all grades to read this with a perceptive eye. Perhaps someone might discover solutions to problems existing within our system, and/or they might learn to appreciate their school more. Through including my own opinion in a type of senior will, I hope others formulate their own opinions on any given situation.

First, to those ladies and gentlemen who fill the bathrooms with various sources of smoke derived from various species of plants, I leave the hope that you will not be so generous with your carcinogens in the future. Some people don't appreciate sharing what you have.

Although you are free to do to yourself what you want, your freedom ends where someone else's begins. For example, just because 1 sprinkle rat poison on my cereal doesn't give me the right to sprinkle rat poison on your cereal. So, consider others before you engage in your actions, because everybody should keep his favorite rat poison to himself.

Remember, your definition of a good time is different than someone else's.

To those who "live for the weekend," I leave the totality of my common sense. If you actually do live for the weekend, you are living for only 2/7 of a week. Actually, it's much less due to the probability of mental incajjacitation occurring within that short time period.

Therefore, if you live to be 70 years old (a generous age considering the habits of some) you will have lived life for only 10-20 of those 70 years. Mathematically, that means that you will not even be enjoying 50 percent of your entire life. Besides having to consider the wasting of a good portion of their existence in regards to their actions, some must also consider the effect of their nocturnal activities on their physical and mental capacity. No doubt that certain activities lessen what remains of an I.Q. and others do not enhance a person's over-all well-being. So, if you have the in-

teUigence and the adventurous spirit, try to live each day (even a school day) with a httle more appreciation. After all, one day you'll be out of school and having to work for a living, if you can find a job.

To those who pride themselves on being obnoxious and those who enjoy abusing others, I wish that someone shows you the uselessness of your ways. Spreading strife is like a boomerang: he who throws it to injure another will soon find it crashing against his own skull.

Try to be civil, you might like it.

To those people who engage in the neverending struggle to be accepted by the group, I leave a bit of perception and wisdom. Choose your friends wisely because that's who you'll end up like. Remember, he who lies down with dogs gets up with fleas.

To the constantly demeaned study hall teachers and deans, 1 leave hope and a grain of salt. Sure, most students are not wonderful beings, but sometimes the effect of your punishment serves to only further agitate the general populus. Granted that some actions require that drastic measures be taken, but most are not heinous crimes. Also, continuous infliction of punishment only hardens the hearts of both inflicter and inflictee, so be less harsh when governing your people. You will be less likely to despise what you have to do sometimes, and the students will be less likely to despise it too.

To those who despise what the study hall teachers and deans do, I leave a message and a warning. Some of you deserve it, and isn't it a little stupid to do the same thing more than once? They are going to enforce the rules whether you agree with them or not. Rules will only get changed after a sign of responsibility and some semblance of intelligence has been shown. Blatant disobedience will not promote change, but civil disobedience might. Try to be less delinquent. Strange things could happen.

To the people who enforce and create the rules, I ask that you take a chance. If and when the general populus shows signs of responsibility and intelligence, bestow them with certain rewards of your choice. Also, in an effon

to precipitate the student body's change, show them that you're willing to give them a chance by reviewing the regulations and eliminating and/or revising some. Surely there is no place for anarchy, so don't go overboard. But neither is there a place for totalitarianism. Instead, a type of benevolent and enlightened monarchy would be best received and most easily administered. Respect for the governed is better than fear of those who govern, so at least make an attempt to garner respect from the general populus.

To those who have mentally surrendered to the armies of Laziness, Slothfulness and Good Times, I leave nothing. After all, why should I give you something when you could get it for yourself? 1 realize that combatting those forces is harder than doing nothing, but some don't even try. You wave the white flag of mental capitulation without effort to improve. It may not have gotten you now, but make sure your surrender doesn't continue into college (if you get there), unless of course you don't care what job you'll get or what type of life you'll be leading. You know, you can have fun and still be responsible at the same time.

Now, to those who do not fit in any of the former categories, I leave laudatory remarks and congratulations. Keep persevering in your personal attempts at self-fulfillment (sounds good, doesn't it?). Actually, though, keep in mind that the fight for improvement is just as worthwhile as the rewards which are products of it.

Lastly, to all who have had the perseverance to read this thing, I leave some small pieces of thought. "Non-living" is a paralyziiig act that occurs only when you permit it to. It is the product of a state of mind or lack of one.

Likewise, enjoyment can be found in the simplest of things if you look for it. Strive to enjoy things (even school), and you might find out about yourself. Even if you can't change the facts, try bending the attitudes.

So, for he who has an eye, let him read and possibly appreciate the future in a greater aspect.
