What exactly is a Maine South?
WHAT IS MAINE SOUTH? ...a shufflin' place where students can impersonate real athletes by acting like animals (bears, in particular)during the halftime of a varsity basketball game.
...a work house where even publications editors can pose together for a candid picture.
by Nancy Humm Maine South is a diverse, complicated and confusing community. In these two pages a slice of Maine South is presented. Combining the pKJsitive and negative aspects of any community is difficult and might even get you into some trouble. By asking graduating seniors "What exactly is a Maine South?" we hoped to clarify the personality which is uniquely Maine South. Sasha Nikolich, a Maine South senior who will be attending Northwestern University in the fall came up with the most literal of all answers. Sasha, obviously inspired by the question, exclaimed that Maine South is "a school?" Yes, we'd all have to agree that Maine South is a school. But what kind of a school? For this, we must probe deeper into the issue. Coast Guard Academy bound Rick Burgis elabortated on Sasha's enlightening statement. To him, Maine South is a "Superior academic institution affording the conscientious student an opportunity for tremendous intellectual development and stimulation." Say that ten times fast. However, like any institution, Maine South is made up of a variety of people, all of whom will not always (hardly ever, in fact) agree. Steve Hwang may, in reality, agree that Maine South is a "superior academic institution," but his quote that Maine South is "a cap for a garbage dump" certainly doesn't reflect this. However, it does show the ingenuity and creativity of a student headed east to Dartmouth. To some the four years spent at Maine South have made it more than just "a school." In fact, winner of the Most Sarcastic superlative Marshall Collins believes that Maine South "is one big family to me." But of course, Marshall isn't the only person who feels this way. His cohort-in-sincerity Steve Passaneau says that "It's my home away from home. It's memories will never leave me. I'm really going to miss it." If Steve can tear himself away, he will be attending U of 1 at Champaign. Predicting the great problems of the world which lay ahead for seniors leaving the friendly confines of South, Chris Kotis thinks that Maine South is "a place where all your troubles begin." Other seniors chose to answer the question in a more obscure and profound manner. Brian Lee thinks Maine South is "like striking out in T-ball." Of course, the problem with these profound answers is that they can be interpreted any way you like. Brian may think that Maine South is embarassing, humiliating, or difficult. Take your pick.
-.a friendly school where AFS litudent Miguei uetgaao can become an integral part of the VShow crew.
There is a similar problem with Mark Dieden's answer. Maine South may be "like screen doors on a submarine," but what exactly does that imply? Is Maine South ludicrous, dangerous, or a novelty? Drake Dietrick, who has perhaps been studying his accounting a little too much, thinks that Maine South "is like most not-for-profit organizations." He obviously hasn't seen the prices in the cafeteria lately. To come back to reality for a moment, Nancy Cox says that "Maine South is not the world." This is not only very true, but also an important thing to remember when heading off to college, to work or to travel. With less than a week left at South, whatever the time that you spent here was like, it is almost over now. Whether you experienced the most thrilUng, most agonizing, or most mediocre years here at South, Monica Borucki put it simply, it is now "our past."

Commentary
Waiting for the sun
M.S. experience is not just a memory Karen Davlin
Time always passes. Nothing stops it. Time has again pulled a fast one on us: the year 1985-86 is almost history. To some of us this is more than just the ending of a school year; it is the culmination of four very long, very short years of high school. They have been incredibly long in terms of the seemingly endless assignments, the dean slips, the "unauthorized" tardies, and the study halls. They've been extremely short when you consider how fast all the Hawk games, the dances, and Mario's inspirational speeches have flown by. As you look back, you are unboubtedly bombarded with memories: many laughs, an occasional tear here and there. No matter how you look at them, if you're a senior, the look will have to be one over your shoulder before too long. There is a great deal more to be taken from four years of high school than just memories.
Just as the people of a school or church or business make it what it is, the people in your life make it everything it is. We'll hopefully take several things from Maine South with us: a little more maturity, a little more responsibility for the world we live in, a little more sensitivity for other people, and maybe even a little more knowledge. But the most important gifts we take with us are not as deep or weepy sounding. They are the fnendships we've cultured over our high school years. Years from now, you will probably not remember what period you had gym, what your grades were, or even what electivcs you took. The experiences you shared with your friends, however, will remain a part of you. The good times you enjoyed, the mediocre ones you out up with together, the terrible ones you helped each other through, these were more than just things to write about in a year-
book or recall at a ten year reunion. These experiences were invaluable opportunities to grow with each other. If we view our past four years this way, it seems foolish to look upon leaving as sad. Your close friends may not be going to the same school you are this fall But, if they possess the characteristics of the average primate, they will have the eye-hand coordinationto do amazing things with a pen and some paper. And there's always been the phone. (Well, not always—it wasn't invented until 1876.) Certainly, your new friends and new opportunities will take care of any feelings of missing that you may feel initially ne.xt year. The important thing to remember is that when you leave high school, you leave a building, not all the great experiences and friendships you enjoyed there. It is not something to miss, it is something to take with you.
Stormy Weather
Maine South—a chance for success by Steve Slaughter It has been customary to review the year in columnists' senior issue. In one way or another they all have done it, so I plan to be no exception. This year, in my opinion, has been a huge success. For starters, the Hawkettes won state. Now, I've kidded the Hawkettes at certain points about this or that (you know what this or that means). There I go again. But, the Hawkettes won state! It is fantastic. I commend them for all their hard work. The success of the girls' basketball team was also another to be commended. It seems the guys teams have been, this year, in a state of, as they say, re-evaluation. This really means that they didn't do that well. But, that's okay, as long as they did their best. Looking back all the way to Homecoming, I remember one of the most successful in recent years. It is always difficult for a columnist to wrap up the entire year in a few words. This year has not been all laughs. I've made some friends, and certainly a few enemies. Several of my columns, one in particular, enflamed a few. In my very first column I talked about different types of students returning to school. There were the accelerated students, the lazy students, the violent, bitter students, and, of course, the freshmen ). Well, now we have reached the end and those people, for the most part, have remained the same. Laziness begets laziness; bitterness, bitterness, etc...Those who have worked for success will, ultimeately, reach it.
Case study: Rick Burgis. While I laughed at Rick for starting his applications back in November, he persisted his endeavor. Now he has been excepted into the United States Coast Guard Academy. Some of you may say, "Who cares? What's the point?" The point is he worked hard to succeed. It doesn't come easily. It is the same with everyone. Mario Pulkowski will not become President without a b t of hard work and some darn good speeches. Exceptional high school athletes do not reach success without a lot of time spent in training. If I may quote that brilliant philosopher Cher, "If great bodies came in a bottle, everyone would have one." Simply brilliant. Anyway, I hope you sec my point. If you expect to succeed, you have to be willing to pay the price. But it is worth it People who decide to blow off responsibility get what's coming to them. They end up being SevenEleven managers and gas station attendants. If that is what you want—go for it. But for those of you who want to succeed at something higher, start working. It's never to early. To conclude, I'd just like to you all the best. Enjoy your time here. It's a pretty good place to grow up. In this rushed society, don't hurry too much. Take some time to smell the roses. Finally, I'd like to pass on some advise (concerning Maine South) given tome by a very wise person, "Do something. Shake this place up! Do something crazy. Make youndf known and do something worthwhile. Leave 5«ur marK on everything you do and and don t
let anyone tell you that you're unimportant. Don't waste this opportunity to acheive great success.

Principal principle: listening to needs Maine South principal, Robert G. Barker, will retire at the end of the school year after 30 years of teaching and administrating in District 207. Mr. Barker started his careet in 207 as a teacher at Maine Township High School, which today is known as Maine East. When Maine South opened in 1964, Mr. Barker was brought over to be assistant principal. He stayed for 15 years until he was offered the position of principal at East. He remained at Maine East for two years and was then transferred to the office of principal at Maine South when Dr. Clyde K. Watson retired in 1981.
Mr. Bob Barker Principal
Mr. Barker recalled that he didn't come to Maine South with any personal goals, but only brought with him the principle of listening to what people feel they need. Mr. Barker said, "Young people show the evidence of change," and according to Mr. Barker the most rewarding thing he's received from his job is the opportunity to
stay young and change right along with the students. The hardest thing about being a principal, according to Mr. Barker, is "the need for constant attention: days, evenings, weekends." Mr. Barker goes on to say that it is, "the best and most difficult part of the job." Mr. Barker says the biggest problem faced right now is the big change in education throughout the country that has not been found totally acceptable. This will be the big effort coming up for all school districts. "This student body is to be envied anywhere," said Mr. Barker about the greatest asset to Maine South, the students. The reason for our well educated and motivated kids is the community. Also families of Park Ridge who put such high demands on educators. Mr. Barker summed up his time spent here by saying, "Being in District 207 has been the best 30 years of my life. It has been a very gratifying experience."
Mr. Simonson plans to be active retiree
Mr. Robert SImonsen Assistant Principal-Staff
After 30 years of teaching, counseling, and administratitig, Mr. Robert Simonson, Assistant Principal of Staff, will retire at the end of the school year. Mr. Simonson came to Maine South when it opened in 1964 after spending eight years at Maine East. During his 22 years at Maine South he has served as dean, assistant principal of students, and his current position as assistant principal of staff. Mr. Simonson says, "I may do some work part time." However, the majority of his time he will divide between his many hobbies. An avid coin and U.S. stamp collector, Mr. Simonson is also an amateur photographer, rock hound, and lapidary. Mr. Simonsen's reason for retiring is simple, he says that "30 years seemed like more than enough." In the 22 years he has worked at Maine
South, Mr. Simonson has developed a strong affinity for the school's athletics, Marlin shows, Hawkette performances, and Broadway musicals. In fact, Mr. Simonsen said, "I can't go anywhere else and see musicals performed better than at Maine South....Also, it has been a treat to see our girls athletics department grow tremendously." The hardest and, perhaps, the most tedious part of Mr. Simonson's job as an administrator has been struggling with the student body over issues like smoking lounges and open campus. Mr. Simonson, however, has confidence in the decisions that were made and says, "History will bear out the fact that we made the right choices." "People don't realize what kind of school we have. I've enjoyed working with the teachers, staff, and students," said Mr, Simonson.

'...going fishing'
Mr. Lane Anderson
Mr. Lane Anderson, physical science teacher, is retiring from teaching at Maine South. Having spent most of his time at Maine South, with only a few years of part time teaching at Maine West, Mr. Anderson has been in the district for 20 years. Mr. Anderson will spend his newly acquired free time by still contributing to the field of education. A science teacher, Mr. Anderson plans to work with a para-church organization in order to convince public schools to include aeationism in their curriculum. "I've taught physics for 15 years and have found the kids to be good to work with. That's one of the reasons I've enjoyed Maine South so much," said Mr. Anderson.
Still in education
Mr. Arthur Johnson
Mr. Art Johnson, social science teacher, is retiring after this year. Mr. Johnson began teaching at Maine East in 1957 and taught there until 1964 when Maine South opened. Mr. Johnson plans to do some fishing and also some travelling. His recently acquired van will make this easier. He also plans to do some substitute teaching, but he says there is plenty for him to do at home first. According to Mr. Johnson, his involvement with the swim team as coach from 1957-1975 will always be remembered. In closing, Mr. Johnson said of his years teaching high school students, "The kids are diarp and intelligent and for that reason you can't give up. You have to keep pushing."

'Irv' retires after 23 years
Mr. Irv Roland Head Custodian
by Meredith Brammeier After 23 years of service in the Maine Township high schools, Mr. Irv Roland is retiring from his present position as head custodian. Before being hired into Distrirt 207 in 1963, Mr. Roland worked as a carpenter. He worked Maine East for a year and than moved to Maine South when it opened in 1964. After being the night supervisor for 18 years, he was promoted to head custodian. Mr. Roland suted that there is no specific reason for his retiring this year; he simply feels that "it's time to get a few good years in." After his retirement he plans to do a little travelling and just work around the yard and house. "1 get my boat out a few times a year and go fishing." he added. Among the many experiences he has had
during his years at Maine South are two which stand out in Mr. Roland's memory: the year Maine South won the state basketball championship (1979) and the year that he and two other members of the custodial staff dressed up as women for the half-time of a school game. Motioning to a picture of the latter event which is displayed on his office wall. Mr. Roland stated the reason for this spectacle in front of a crowd of 2,000. "There was an old custodian in Elgin who always came out and danced to Sweel Georgia Brown at half-time. The boosters were after us to make a show, so we came up with this idea." During his time at Maine South, Mr. Roland declared, he has had "two wonderful bosses. Dr. Watson and Mr. Barker." and he believes that "we've got the best school in the district."

Southwords staff sings praises of Lisa Conn Every organization needs people who are dependable, not afraid of hard work, and not particularly out for fame. The music department was lucky enough to find all three qualities in Lisa Conn. A four year member of Concert Band, Pep Band, and Marching Band, Lisa is an imFWJrtant part of the band's success. In her junior year Lisa was chosen as one of two drum majors, and was the first girl drum major in the history of Maine South. Her dependability and hard work ranges into academics as well. Lisa has received language and science awards and was an Illinois State Scholar. Her election into the National Honor Society as a junior promoted her active involvement in the organization's tutor program. Lisa's dedication, diligence, and willingness to help others has made her an excellent Unsung Hero. Julie Flannery Controlling 2,200 students who are clamoring for inspirational
speeches from Mario Polkowski is never an easy task. However, Julie Flannery's ability to manage assemblies as well as juggle numerous other activities make her an excellent Unsung Hero. Julie's four years on Student Council culiminated this year with her position as Assemblies Committee Chairwoman. This job involves not only running the assemblies, but also choosing speakers and bands.
thankless job. By the time it actually is distributed, the work is long since over and even then most people are too busy signing them to look at the fruits of the labor. For this reason, and also her academic and athletic acheivements, Karen Frank is an Unsung Hero. Her position as Editor-in-Chief of the Eyrie and as a two-year Southwords staff member has won Karen a place in the Quill & Scroll Honorary Society. A four-year member of Concert Karen is also a three-year Band, Pep Band, and Marching member of the track team and a Band, Julie was elected into Tri- two-year member of the cross M.

Laura McCabe
While Laura McCabe's main
contribution to Maine South was to the drama department, it is her incredibly diverse involvement in all areas that has won her recognition as an Unsung Hero. Laura worked backstage as Arena play director, Guys and Dolls stage manager, and the V-Show '86 stage manager after gaining experience working on the backstage crews her freshman and sophomore years. Three years of involvement in Qass Council and her experience with Operation Snowball, the Junior/Senior Leader program, and SADD show her leadership ability. Laura has also contributed to various publications at Maine South. Her work on the Southwords and Graffiti staffs won her both a Journalism Award and a place in the Quill & Scroll Honorary Society. Athletically, she has been a four year member of Ski Club, a Swim Timer, and also a trainer.

8 Senior Unsung heroes for dedication Pele Delano Performing well in sports like football and basketball wins recognition from both the press and peers. But, giving consistently outstanding performances in sports which remain unsung like cross country and track go relatively unrecognized. Pete Delano's incredible record in these sports make him an Unsung Hero. As a three season athlete, Pete has received little recognition. With cross country in the fall, swimming in the winter, and track in the spring, he keeps himself both busy as well as in shape. However, it is Pete's remarkable performances in all three of these activities that is so incredible. Pete went downstatc Uilor's note: Every year Sou[h words honors eight seniors w ho have not received recognition for their hard work as Unsung Heroes, Although many students deserve praise, we have selected those we feci iiK'rit special recognition.
for both swimming and cross country. He was also given the MVP award for cross country both his junior and senior year, and swimming his senior year. Running and swimming aren't all Pete does well: he was aslo elected to the National Honor Society as a senior. For his dedication and ability, Pete is an Unsung Hero. IVfike Fox Mike is, perhaps, the most unknown of our heroes because he is a behind-the-scenes worker. As stage manager for this year's all school play, June Moon; lighting head for Hello, Dolly.'; and technical director for both the Orchesis Show and V-Show '86, Mike has become involved in all aspects of stage direction. While he was recognized for his contributions by becoming a Thespian his sophomore year, Mike has remained the relatively unknown power behind the students on stage. Mike was also elected to Brotherhood Society as a sophomore and has helped Marlin with the technical aspects of their
annual show. He is a four year member of Ski Club.
maining one of the friendliest people—Pete is a hero indeed.
Pele Krause In his four years at Maine South, Pete has earned the reputation of being one of the friendliest as well as busiest guys around. A three-year member of Concert Band, Pep Band, and Marching Band, Pete is a member of Tri-M. His musical attributes also include three years in South's annual spring musical and V-Show. Pete is also active in athletics. He has been on the soccer team for four years and was also on the tfack team his sophomore year. Not neglecting academics, Pete was named an Illinois State Scholar, was elected into the National Honor Society, and received a National Merit Letter of Commendation for his performance on the PSAT. Pete has also been successful in his role on South's First Aid Team which has won national recognition. Pete was one of the members of the team.

Dave Molinaire Unlike most of our Unsung Heroes, Dave Molinaire's experience lies in one basic field. However, he deserves recognition for his incredible talent and dedication in that area. As a four year member of Concert Band, Marching Band and Pep Band, and a three year member of Jazz Band and Stage Band, it's pretty obvious that Dave's field of interest is music. Dave plays the marimba, vibes, and all percussion instruments. He also composes and arranges material for Jazz and Percussion Ensembles. Dave's talent also ranges into another field of music: he performs with the Concert Choir and this year played a cook in this year's musical Hello, Dolly! For his involvement in both music and theater, Dave was elected to both Tri-M and Thespians. An involved and talented student at Maine South, Dave Molinaire is an Unsung hero.

Commentary
Junes, 1986
Presidents editoralize
Class of '86 makes a mark on South Dear Seniors, I'd like to take a little bit of your time to tell you some of the things Senior Class has accomplished this year. We started out the year with the Homecoming Carnival, Parade, and Dance. We then went on to plan the Fourth Annual Beach Party which once again proved to be an arousing success. Just when we were going to sit down and relax, Senior Prom was laying in our laps: the band, the D. J., the flowers, the tickets, etc. Finally, plans for the Senior Breakfast were to be finished and superlatives counted! It's impossible to write down the amount of work that was put into all these activities, but I can tell you that it was all worth while! Thanks to you! We have a very hard-working and dedicated class. Every member was responsible for getting their job done, and done well. Our officers, Vice-President Beth Verbrugghe. Secretary Lisa Winkler, and Treasurer Scott Miller have all faithfully lived up to their titles. This letter wouldn't be complete without thanking our incredible sponsors, Mr. L. Anderson and Mrs. Schrieber, who guided us throughout the entire year and put up with our petty questions and our (very few) mistakes. Thanks for all you've done!
The Class of '86 is one that has left a definate mark on Maine South. We've stood out in academics and athletics considerably throughout these four years. The spirit that we've generated at football games, assemblies, basketball games (boys and girls), soccer games, track meets, etc. was like no other class! Once again the Class of '86 stands out. There is one word that helps define our class~"obscure." Some of us find ourselves in that state permanently and others only occasionally, but I think everyone has experienced that sense of obscurity in themselves. Believe it or not, there is a serious side to us all. The friendships we've made have made a mark on each one of us. Through sports, dubs, classes, intramurals, and councils we've acquired friendships that will stand out as long as we live. You all know who they are and they all know who you are and we all take great pride in these nest of friendships we've built. Thanks for being such a terrific class. I'm looking forward to seeing you at the Ten Year Reunion! (I bet you haven't thought about that yet!) Well, thanks again! Tina Lazich Senior Class President
Organized Council plans for a new spirit king As Student Council President, I'd like to say that the Student Council body has done a fine job throughout the year. Everyone formed together and worked as a team to make all the activities run smoothly. We started immediately last year to get prepared for the upcoming year. Council sold Busy Signals, sweatshirts,and gave freshman tours at book sales. We also provided an orientation program for freshman. Homecoming, which included the carnival, assembly, parade, and queen selection, ran very well. Once again, we ran a leadership conference for all school clubs. Student Council also held its most successful food drive in the past couple of years. This was accomplished by the generosity of all the students here at South. When winter came. Council kept working. We organized the Winter Sports Assembly. V-Show was run to perfection. A free pizza dinner was served to cast and crew. During this time we also had the Christmas Card Exchange and Faculty Appreciation Day.
Some other activities Student Council was involved m were the Spring Sports Assembly, AFS pizza sales. Brotherhood Assembly, and recognizing the Fine Arts department. Four students were able to see a different style of education, and bring back some good ideas when they participated in the student exchange with Evanston High School. Council also presented four scholarships worth S4(X) each to college bound seniors. The problem of communication between students and the administration is looking better. We have had three meetings with Mr. Blassman, School Board President. He, along with Mr. Ken Reczkiewitz, is sincerely interested in Student Rights. Therefore, you can look forward to some positive changes in the near future. Finally, we cone uded the year with elections for all Student Council positions. Also, for the first time next year, Maine South will be recognizing a Spirit King along with the Spirit Queen at the \Mnter Sports Assembly thanks to the efforts of Student Council. Kevin Baden Student Council President,'85-'86

I, Mario Polkowski, leave to Mr. Josh Lamken, a man of pride, glory, and spirit, my Assembly speeches, my jokes during crosscountry and this quote, "The advice of a wise man refreshes like water from a mountain spring. Those accepting it become aware of the pitfalls on ahead." Mr. Shewfelt, I give you my good old boy shirt. Steve, make state in swimming next year, and become the AllAmerican hero. Remember Steve, a man in water is a man in control of his life. I leave my "good life" trademark to all of Maine South.
The good life and the American dream will enhance your chances for success in the real world. Life in the fast lane can be as fun as looking at the spectacular Maine South sun. And finally 1 leave Maine South with this saying: Thanks for the memories, 1 enjoyed the four years. The faculty and teachers were tremendous and displayed class. May the wedding bells be ringing "Happy Days to Maine South" I, Cherrie, leave to Harmonica, my two weeks out of school earlier than she gets, my S.C. and baby L.W.'s To H.W. all my love, body, and wul.

Though he was chosen MVP in both of his individual sports, cross country and swimming, few people outside of the avid fans were aware of his efforts. In cross country, Pete qualified to go downstate and finished 35th out of a pack of 200 runners. During the swim season, Pete qualified for the 200 and 500 yard freestyle events in the state meet.
