Scott each won Blue Ribbon awards from the Northern Illinois School Press Association. From this same Association, Greg Barrington garnered an Honorable Mention for his cartoon illustration.

Maura Scott also won the Maine South Outstanding Journalist award, with her co-editor-inchief Meredith Brammeier taking a similar honor awarded by the Pioneer Press.

Southwords adviser T. R. Kerth commended his editors for the success of the newspaper this year. "All the editors have done a tremendous job this year, learning a new computer system, working under a new adviser, and putting out a paper every two weeks while most other schools come out only once a month, with the work being done in a newspaper production class. All our editors have to work before and after school and get no class credit for their efforts. To be able to compete so well with newspapers from other schools is a testimony to their dedication."

Congratulations to all winners in all categories.

Take a good look at the "other side"

by Samantha Ann Malten Like all of the oUiers who are graduating this year, I've been spending a lot of time either looking back on the last four years or looking to the future.

I guess I always thought that, when I finally became a senior and then graduated high school, I would be miraculously filled with incredible knowledge and answers to at least some of my personal, life-long questions. However, whatever knowledge I have gained here has only led me to more questions and has taken me further away from the answers. I'm beginning to think that this is what knowledge is.

Although some of the situations I've experienced here were relatively unpleasant whether it was the students' fault or the administration's, my four years here have been pretty incredible. No matter what our national ranking is, or how many awards Maine South has won, the thing that makes it great is what has always done so: the f>eople.

Even though the people here are exceptional and have a lot to offer, I have been disturbed for the past year because I've recently noticed something happening.

To give you a few examples of what I am

referring to, there was a piece of commentary featured a while ago in Southwords after the "Shades" presentation which was concerned with the behavior of a certain class. Although the article was thought-out and accurate in its descriptions, some readers who belonged to this certain class, didn't bother to read the entire article or to even acknowledge the author's point of view.

One letter to the editor claimed that the author was one of the culprits in the incident and was really trying to kiss up to her teachers by writing the piece. Another letter implied that the author thought that she was more mature than the other members of her class and was attempting to raise herself above them with this article. Obviously, these people didn't read the entire article and only reacted to the headline.

Another article was written by a Hawkette about Hawkettes which also received a large amount of negative responses. All of these letters failed to see the ironic, joking tone of the piece and used this opportunity to attack a group belonging to the school which, for some reason, they did not particularly like.

The idea is not that I want people to confomi to the beliefs of others. I am simply frightened that, in as excellent of a school that we attend and the high caliber of people who surround us each day, we continue to refuse the knowledge that opinions exist which differ from our own. Have we become so self-centered that we can only acknowledge others who are like ourselves? Have opinions, beliefs, and ideas become labelled as "right" and "wrong" dejjending on who holds them? 1 hope not.

Of course, not everyone is going to agree on everything, but once one dismisses an idea as stupid or wrong, that person has just cornered himself/herself into ignorance. And that scares me.

It seems that nowadays there is a peer pressure to not understand. Maybe it has always been there but it seems that lately this problem has become more prevalent.

If I am bcgirming to sound preachy or holierthan-thou, I don't mean to. I, too, sometimes ignore the "other side" but is still has the same effects. It narrows my perspective therefore making me less of a p>erson.

Of minks, dinks, and pointless pencils

by Jay Pinto This whole year seems like a dream. I vividly remember the first day of school year 1987-88.

Walking in the door, going to homeroom, sitting in my seat, meeting all the people I hadn' t seen in Oh my God soooo long. And now...poof it's gone, evaporated into the thin airs of life. Underclassmen see this year like the golf pencils on Mr. Leedy's desk- short and pointless. But, senior year is very different than any ole year. This past year has been a roller coaster ride of thrills, spills, loves, wars, hates, tears, games, parties, tests, drinks, DINKS, and much, much more. I'm sad to see it go.

Of course, I don't really mean all that. Part of me longs to roam like the buffalos, to experience the world, to be free, free like a butterfly. College beckons her fmger seductively promising freedom of thought, of expression, of action, of life itself.

Imagine it- no parents wondering where you are, who you're out with, what your doing. No one to answer to, no one to keep you in line, to nag. A fresh start, a chance to do what you want. That is invigorating.

And it all begins senior year. I came back this fall from far away and I found a new class. They were the same people that I had gone school with for four, six, some even iwelveyears. But they were LAID BACK, RELAXED, with insecurities, jealousies, idiosyncrasies, and other -ies words out the window. I can tell you stories about how in third grade a friend of mine lifted up a sixth grader (over his head, mind you), and literally threw the kid over the school fence. Or how in seventh grade there was a "big fight" after school and one child I had gone to school with since I was yay high was sitting there

watching with a big grin on his face and a cigar in his mouth. So the people were the same people, but times and attitudes had changed dramatically. I guess it is class bonding. Looking back to freslunan year, we have come a long way, baby! I look at the next freshman class, and the next, and the next and I say, "What the hell!" But, then I get real philosophical (fil la so fik '1) and remember when I, when we were freshmen. No matter how hard I try to deny it, the class of 1988 was frighieningly similar. We made it. Underclassmen, you will too.

I've already seen it in the junior-soon-to-be-senior class. They are maturing. They have a trek ahead of lliem, but even in the last semester they have shown signs of young adulthood contrary'to popular blond belief. Even the sophomores are growing up.

Many, many of tliem even went to the senior prom.

Practice makes perfect. Freshmen....you know.

You're mopes. We were mopes. It's a process everybody goes through to get to the light at the end of the turmel. With luck, you don't remain mopes for loo long.

So I can't say for sure how ii all feels. It- the end of the line or... a new beginning? College is a paradox. A total change from a place you have spent four years trying to fit into, to get along at, to have a good time with, to succeed in, to understand.

Then, BANG?!! Everything changes. What will it be like? Who will be there? How hard will ii be?

Can I make it work? Make it fun? These questions lie in the back of our minds wailing to plague the worry-center inside us all.

I feel great about June 5. The culmination of the beginning of my life. Senior year was a stereotypical (most steroetypes come to be because ihey are

gemrally true) year of fun, less work, good limes, more privileges, later nights, shorter days, quick weeks, langorous weekends, football games, assemblies, fiestas, movies, cars, wild chases, romances, pre-dawn martinis, post midnight rites, back seats, catwalks, hotels, boats, pizza places, field trips to DeKalb, Downtown, Great Am, Calc parties, BBQ's, award banquets, Chris Deger's son's birth, cheers, male bonding, shopping, JP, SP, make-up revisions, new hairstyles, Cheryl Bunt's engagement, pinkies, concerts, kisses, sunshine, Georgia O'Keeffe, Santa Claus coming down ihe chimney and..., AP Hell, the return of the miniskirt, championships almost. Homecoming/ Spiril/GC royalty, pep assembly demos, parking woes, Southfcst 88, dnmkcn revelry, eight long periods, sweet 16s,17s,18s, BF in Florida, getting intimate wilh a mink. Mink getting intimate, Chem/Bio, BC/AB softball matches, Tri-Burgers, flowers for this, that, and the next, flowers for your lovers, lans, TANS, Breaks, "Brakes, Maurice!", Beach Party, Girls' Soccer's legitimacy, Shrines to Freedom, Nerd/Jock awards, useless honor cards, new school colors-gray and yellow, useful ramps, "Donnnn!," "Go knit!," Homecoming, bets, and...well, you were there, reminisce in your own newspaper!

This is the stream of consciou.sness produced by my own recollections. New classes, you will have llie chance to make your own memories to cherish and write about when your editor forces you to "write ii down, dammit." Good luck!

The pattern goes on. New teams, new editors, new class presidents, new stars. Beginnings and endings. That's what life is all about.

Maine South窶馬ot a bad place to visit

by Mark Hermes After going through two years of Maine South, I have come to the realization that Maine South, on the whole, is a pretty decent place to spend four years of our lives.

But there are many things students could do to improve conditions here at Maine South. Everyone should learn to be their own person and well, you know, not like be influenced by what other people think, you know?

Wait a minute, let me take off these pink shoes.

Much better. Seriously, though, there are several areas where students should grow up. One example tliat comes to mind is the bathroom simalion. Smoke-filled bathrooms littered wilh cigarette butts and writing on the walls are unpleasant, not to mention unusable.

I walked into the A-wing first floor bathroom the other day, and I suddenly felt like 1 was driving past Gary, Indiana on 1-80. My apologies to whomever I told to roll up ilie windows. By ihe way, if you want to sit down, smoke, and write insulting things about people you don't like, give Mike Royko a call. Maybe he needs an assistant.

The football, basketball, and baseball teams all work very hard. Bui either students don't realize, or just don't recongnize that teams such as the swim-

ming and cross country teams and girls' sports work just as hard. There is no reason to extol athleies from the "glamour sports" and not recognize the hard work of other athletes. Dedication and hard work are also put forth by members of such extracurricular groups as the First Aid Team, Maihletes, Speech Team, and, yes, even the Hawkeltes. It is time that students recognize this and give Ihses participanls their well-deser\'ed respect. Perhaps a Homecoming dance for the Science Olympiads?

There is one last, pressing problem that exists amongst the hallowed halls of Maine Souih, and it must be addressed. That is ihe fact that students don't realize the true literary merit oiSouihwords.

Yes, this literary merit goes deep beyond the chocolate milk you spilt on page 4. Many students put in much hard work to prepare Southwards for Maine South. Wilh tliis in mind, let's all give a fond farwell to Meredith Brammeicr, Maura Scolt, Kavita Sabnani, Jancllc Slaughter, Katie O'Connor, and the man. Jay Pinto.

A look at the "other side," cont'd continued from page 4 The reason 1 think this is so important is because, next year, the class of '88 will be leaving.

We'll be thrown into different environments. Some of us will go to work and others, to college. We won't be sheltered anymore and will be interacting with people whose backgrounds may be totally different from ours. Any narrow-mindedness which we carry over with us from high school, I am sure, will be quite harmful. I have a feeling llial a lot of the adjusting we will have to do next year is going to be with changing a few of these altitudes, and with all that our senior class has to offer. I

would hale to see it ruined because of a lack of understanding.

Although I've loved Maine Soutli, I know that this is only the beginning. We, the class of '88 have not ended our reign, we have only begun.

Wills, wills, wills I, Teresa Struck, of sound mind (?) and body leave behind memories, fun limes, teachers, and fights in halls to the future classes of Maine South.

To my cousin, Jenny, I leave books and help with homework and her classes. To my friends, the best of luck in the future wherever they may be!

A senior looks back on four years...

by Maura Scott I guess now I can concur that the old cliche of " you go to school to learn" is true. Looking back on last four years I see that I have learned much valuable material at Maine South: mathematical theorems, historical dates and facts, and the skills of analytical thinking,...the list goes on. However, the most treasured lessons I have ever learned have been in V-130, the Publications Office, where the Southwords staff meets, eats and sleeps.

The lessons I have learned are not things which I could be tested on. I couldn't be tested on the friendships and comradery that I have experienced.

Nor could I take an exam on the lesson on team work I was given when decisions had to be made.

The only document which contains those experiences and many more is the 28 sheets of black on white paper you hold in your hands. This issue and the past 15 we have published are the fruits of our labor.

Each issue is an attic trunk which we can look at and remember as a separate and unique experience. By turning the pages we can lift the lid on the trunk and allow our minds to peer in and find when we made the list of articles to be written and when we debated whether or not a commentary piece was fit for print, or when I hugged Meredith after the paste-up was put to bed and whispered, "We did it again." Each incident taught me a priceless lesson in spile of how small and insignificant it may have seemed at the time.

This time of wrapping things up and finishing off four years of my life arouses my sentimental side enough to have some parting words. I want to impart upon you, the remaining smdent body, that experience can be found wherever your interests lie. The experience that I'm speaking of has nothing to do, in terms of Southwords, with learning how to write, type, lay-out pages or paste-up the final products. These physical labors, while impor-

tant, are not the experiences. What I am referring to is the learning about myself in relation to others.

I've acquired knowledge about human nature because of close friendships with workers. The wisdom I've been given will far outlast my ability to paste-up a page of print. I will use the knowledge I have been permitted everyday, whether consciously or not.

Whether it be a job, a sports team, a club, a play, a music group, whatever, you can get so much out of the experience of being involved, giving of yourself and receiving from others. Not only will your dedication look good on a transcript or a resume, but it will be forever ingrained in your mind. Take advantage of the wonderful people in our community—talk with them, teach them and, most importantly, learn from them. Take this experience of four years with you for the rest of your life in the form of personal growth.

...and a freshman looks to three more Jfh "^

by Beth Buckley Freshman year: the year from hell. Luckily I was proven wrong, because that's what I had expected coming from a class of thirty six at Saint Paul of the Cross. The year did start off on the wrong fool when every member of the faculty for reasons beyond my grasp insisted my name was "Liz," andlrealizedthati was taller thanhalf of ihe freshman class as well as my counselor. It also didn't take long before we freshmen were thrown into these categories: Skaters, jocks, preps, freaks, geeks, burn-outs, brains. Madonna wanna-bes, and brown nosers. But, with the perpemal loving support of my SENIOR sister, Mary, I did surpass the horrors of this, the first year of the rest of my life.

As the year progressed, it went faster and faster.

Homecoming, good friend, going out, geeky boyfriends, admiration (lust) for certain senior guys, hot skaters, parties at Ben's, the basketball season.

Perry's, the pizza for those without transportation, parties, graduation. New Year's, interesting trips to Medusa's , weird people who evolved on the "L," soccer, dead flowers with Mr. Tilley, the football season, and the very popular (sorry, well-received) "Shades" production. Everything so clear, but so fast in its passing. I will miss my big sis; she was the driving force behind my will to endure. Lessons in what is surer in death, how to avoid the geek from hell, how to avoid evil paraprofessionals at all costs, how to get a date, how to get out of a date, and, most importantly, how to brown-nose dad.

She, along with my friends, has been what made my freshman year a blast, and without all of them it woudn't have been (hat which it was, the best. It's strange thinking old Mary won't be around- she's been there all of my life to fight with- and to talk to.

Ah yes, 1 will miss Mary when she leaves; her clothes, her tapes, her rides, her cute boyfriends.

But seriously, folks, this is a beginning for me and my class, the class of 1991, and let me tell you, we're ready to take on sophomore year. This year took us away from the depths of Maine South and on to greener fields. Friends, grades, working on

better grades, problems, and having fun seem to be what we're looking forward to these next three years. But, the friends I have now will last and I'm looking forward to the distant future, mainly this summer.

One last thing that entered my mind while I was

writing tliis piece of nostalgia: even though I am a mere freshman peon, I dare to put my self into senior year three years from now. I hope the next three years will pass like freshman year did- and I hope my little sister will miss me as much as I will miss Mary when I stand upon the stage in June with the wind in my hair and memories in my mind.

Yikes! an abundance of wills I, KTO, being of sound mind, but questionable body, hereby bequeath to the following: to my talented flutes, tlic ability to play triple pianissimo with good breath support, keep both feet on the fioor, and not chew gum; to Margie, my persuasiveness in negotiating a better curfew, my punctuality in leaving the house at 7am, and my advice to lake Driver's Ed before senior year; to JancUe, "Chew," gummi bear warehouses, Paul Cast parlies, suicide park "pit slops," flashers, random conversations, and Rubrick (whoever he is); to Frank, a college life without an immediate marital attachment; to Mere, girl talk, guy talk, U of I talk, spoons, sugar cubes, Karl dcr Kafcr, and other German yak yak; lo PaU^icia, my racial slurs, Michael discussions, the "greek system" at N.D., "band geeks," and good limes; to Kaviui, ihe will and ability to say "no" lo any octopus and really mean it!

Don't forget the Mac-Chuck (Shakespeare lives and breathes!). Do bears eat oats? Or is it Mere's?

To Maura, filling space with random thoughts.

trips to the locker room, onions (SORRY!), long evenings with truth and illusions. Chuck Hutchcrafi and Company, and lots of other stuff (things, junk, garbage, refuse, etc.) that I really can't think

of when it's 10:37 p.m. and you are LOUNGING at home with TRUTH (you know who that is). To everyone else: I'll write it in your yearbook, because my twelve picas are all used up.

Class Pres reminisces about '88

by Mary Gabriel, Senior Class President As the year comes to a close, I would like to tell you about the activities which the class of '88 has made successful.

As usual, we started out with Homecoming. At the Homecoming Carnival we had our annual booth, the Senior Telegrams. We made an exceptionally good amount of money; it must have been because of the beautiful flashing red lights on our booth (thanks to Rob Gunthcr). The next morning, we entered an awesome float in the parade. Although it was a little cramped in the trunk of my mother's car, the float was decorated with colorful streamers and was what we called a 'unique' float.

Even though there is a declining enrollment at Maine South, the Homecoming Dance, 'The Finer Things," was the most highly attended ever.

Another activity was the 6th annual Beach Party. This dance was also will attended. Personally, I think it was the presentation by Wcs VandenBrink, Pat Leahy, Scott Oh, and Bill Peter at the Winter Sports Assembly. Also, I'm glad that everyone had a great time tearing down the island that took us at least three hours to put.

After Spring Break we started to prepare for the end of the year senior activities. Senior Superlatives were passed out and results were anxiously awaited by everyone. Senior week was also planned; it was a very difficult task because of the

many school rules. Sorry, tliere is no such thing as senior cut day—I guess we'll all have to be invisible that day.

Next we worked on the Senior Prom, "The Time of My Life." For the first time, the Senior Class has given away glassware—a special rememberance of prom. We were also offered an after prom party. Celebration '88. The Senior Class contributed 31,000 worth of gift certificates from special fundraising. The spur-of-the-moment fundraisers included selling roses, a computer dating game, and a car wash. Despite the amount of time, all of these events were very successful.

One week later the Senior Breakfast took place.

The Superlatives were awarded and we had our own (class of '88) band play.

Our last event will be graduation. Although we are all happy to graduate, it will be sad to leave such an exciting class.

I would like to thank the Senior Class Sponsors, Mrs. Schrcibcr and Mr. Anderson. Wiiliout you, this year would have not been such a success. To my fellow officers: Pat Harris, Laura Stein, and Jill Herman—how we got everything done, I don't know. But hey, we're seniors; we're out of here!

I would like to wish the Class of '88 the best of luck and thank you for being such a spxxial.

Thanks ever>'one. I will see you all at our tenyear reunion—It's been a slice.

Student Council Success

by Scott Duerkop, Student Council President As the 1987-88 school year comes to a close, I would like to thank the entire Student Council, who worked together to make the year very successful.

The year started out great with Busy Signal and sweatshirt sales at the August book sales. As September arrived, we worked on plans for the Homecoming Carnival and Parade. Our work paid off, as both of these events were great successes. In

November, the Student Council-sponsored food drive brought in nearly 4,000 cans of food to be given to the needy, and in December, the V-Show was traditionally a superb jjerformance.

Throughout the year the Council sponsored ice cream socials, the Christmas Card Exchange, and plarmed for several assemblies. This year the attempt to make the assemblies more enjoyable became successful through team demonstrations and crowd participation in the cheering contests.

TTiis year was also a great year as far as student rights went. With the great cooperation of the administration and the hard work of the Student Rights Committee, students were permitted to continue enjoying outdoor lounge and have the opfxsrtunity to receive the Hawk Honor Card, a new way to honor student excellence.

As spring rolled on. Student Council continued to work with AFS, selling pizzas in the annual fundraiser. In April, three bands performed in Bandfest, which proved to be a great success.

As I say goodbye to Maine South after a great year in Student Council, I would like to say thank you to Dr. Cachur, Mr. Adamo, and the rest of the administration for all of their cooperation and also to Mr. Feichter and Miss Finneran, the Student Council sponsors, for all of their dedication and time. I wish the best of luck to the new Student Council and hope next year goes as well as this year.

Lots 'O wills 1, Carl Faldetta, leave Kelly Good one diamond ring; Mary Beth Huber one serious relationship; the MS Baseball team two real coaches; Jeff Jacobucci one woman out of the 100 he asked; 4a lunch table one rock, one piece of paper, and one pair of scissors; and a brain to every girl who turned me down.

I, Kevin 'Fabian' of the non-rock star inOucnce, in soimd mind leave the following... to Eric I leave my entire set of Robert Goulct albums. To Joe I leave the 4 hidden video tapes to be done witli at will. To Nez I leave my tortalon and v;irious assorted art garbage. And to my lunch table my math book.

I, Marcello: To Rauch Head the ability to just say no to Noel, Mike my desire for women. Ken my VW stock. Bill the ability to say no to the Captain, Chris Gina's mug, Rob J.R. 's phone number, Tony a driver's lesson. The Luggage new handles, Marii my jump shot, T.M. work with mc, K.P., J.L.,D.W., M.K., F.M., memories.

To my legacy Chad I leave my incredible taste in women and my awesonte driving skill. To Pete Anderson I leave my entire Playboy collection.

To Ry and Nuge I leave my skill and some fake ID's so tliey can get some real women. And to Marty I leave my Evil Dead shirt and my chann ;ind charisma so he can find fis dream girl. Have fun guys! Stephen J. Kinney.

I, Heth Grabowski, being of sound mind (HA!), leave to Laurie and Amy unforgettable pitrties and great times. To Carlyn I leave you my tolerance; "Double or nothing." To my little cousin, I leave my "interesting" study habits to be inherited. To Jimmy, I leave you my heart, my love, my life, my all.

Retirees

June 3,1988

MS Music Dept. loses Bell's skill One member of the performing arts staff who will be missed greatly next year is Mr. Irwin Bell.

Mr. Bell, who has taught at Maine South for the past 24 years, leads the various choral groups and the concert orchestra, as well as being the vocal director for the many musical productions at Maine South. Mr. Bell will move to Mississippi this summer, where he will instruct choral music and music education courses at the University of Mississippi.

Before coming to Maine South, Mr. Bell studied and received degrees from Wheaton College and Northwestern University. He taught at Proviso East and West High Schools, Wheaton College, and the American Conservatory of Music in Chicago.

Originally, Mr. Bell came to Maine South as the choral director and music theory teacher.

Some of Mr. Bell's fondest moments from Maine South are those of the choral concerts of the 70's and the first place prize won by the 1982 Concert Choir in the "Great American Choral Contest," the mid-west regionals.

When asked what he'll miss most about Maine South, Mr. Bell replied, 'The students and faculty." The students and the faculty will miss him, too.

f

Consumer Ed. retirement It * «

f' A woman planning for her fiiture career as a hospital dietician was offered a "temporary" position at a school that needed someone with training in food preparation. Now, thirty years later, that same lady, Mrs. Torp of our Home Economics Department, is leaving that "temporary" job.

Mrs. Torp has been teaching for thirty years, twenty-seven of those years here at Maine South.

Mrs. Torp remarked, "I've loved my twentj'-seven

years at Maine...they have been good to me." She then went on to compliment the staff and the school itself.

Besides her twenty-seven years of teaching, Mrs. Torp has also managed her own interior design studio, which along with traveling will occupy most of her time after she retires.

Traveling is not something new, though. Mrs. Torp has aheady traveled extensively. She has accompanied students on a European vacation. She has also traveled to France in order to participate in a two week cooking course.

Over twenty-seven years, as you can imagine, many changes have taken place. The greatest change in students is, as Mrs. Torp put it, "they don't exf>ect enough of themselves,...the new 'me' generation just seems too interested in self-gratification." She continued on by saying how much she wishes that students would realize the importance of a good education and take advantage of all the opportunities available here at Maine South.

Working hard and setting goals is the Torp motto.

Mrs. Torp summed up her feelings with very fitting words, "Thanks for the memories." We are certain that the many lives she has touched during her teaching career thank her as well and wish hei the very best.

Wills,. - wills,.. and more wills I, Jane Tully, will my sister Jeanne her own bedroom next year. Now you can keep it as messy as you like. Good luck with Mom and Dad, especially Mom. If you need a place to stay after you run away, you can come to lU. My room will always be open! I love you!

I, John Corthinos, being a rebel without a cause, will to Keaner, something spectacular at lunch, auditorium cat walks, Reg, and gas masks.

Cory Lentz—power in full. Theiny—a positive attitude. The Booz—Colleen Cassidy and a unique rabbit. Schmitz—Chapstick. Whiley—a needle.

The old guy—my GPG for a little R&R. Mr. McCann—a great friend. Thanks for all!

1, Lisa Duzansky, will my ability to get to places on time of Jeff. To Trisha I leave years of great knowledge and talent. To Marita, my accountine books with the answers in them. To my locker buddy, Jim, (in orange B48) I leave you all my books that fall out of my locker and I wish you all luck.

We, the Southwards Editors, hereby bequeath the following: to T.R.— our knack to screw things up and laugh about it; to Mr. Rathberger—pages turned in on time; to next year's editors—our love, our prayers, and a big "Ha! You Suckers!" to the entire student body—enough respect for Southwords to not throw it on the floor.

Flechsig retires after 4 24 years of service Mr. Walter Flechsig, twenty-four year veteran of the Maine South Music Department, is retiring as of the end of the 1987-88 school year.

Mr. Flechsig has taught in Maine Township for twent-eight years and has been at Maine South since its ojjening in 1964.

He attended Northwestern University, graduating with a Bachelor's degree in music in 1955 and went on to earn a Master's degree the following year.

He has nothing but praise for his colleagues in the music department and all of the department staff, but will miss working with his students most of all. "Our department has the finest kids that any teacher could ask for," he asserts, Mr, Flechsig plans to continue in the field of music during his retirement, expanding his professional career in the areas of piano and keyboard work.

Mr. Rechsig's long tenure at Maine South is mostly a result of his love for the school and its students, he says; and it is for this reason that he will be sorely missed.

These darn wills never stop I, Brian .Moore, leave the following: Tiffany, my address at Ohio U.; Erik, Walgreens, Arlington Heights, and a lot of red lights; Datlian, same-same y juice and a VCR; Mar>', tlic lawnmower and the T leash (have fun); Hyun, every rap I've ever written; Dave and George, a radar gun (Dave), Lilx;riy ville (George), and Woodland—thanks for tlic GREAT TIMES.

Secretary, Nelson, will be missed Mrs. Lola Nelson, secretary of the English, Social Science, and Foreign Language departments, plans to retire at the end of the 1987-88 school year.

After graduating from St. Philomena High School in 1944, Mrs. Nelson immediately entered Uie working world as a typist. In 1951, Mrs. Nelson married the late Leroy Nelson.

Mrs. Nelson began working for District 207 in 1976 at Maine North High School. During her five years spent at Maine North, Mrs. Nelson worked as the secretary of the Social Science, English, Speech/Drama, and Industrial Education departments. In 1981 Mrs. Nelson came to Maine South as secretary of the boys' Physical Education department. She has held her present jwsition as

secretary for the Foreign Language, English, and Social Science departments since 1982.

Although she plans to work occasionally as a substitute secretary, Mrs. Nelson's main reason for retiring is to "stay home and enjoy spending time with my family." Mrs. Nelson's only son, Michael, and her two grandsons, Daniel and Martin, are returning to Chicago from Connecticut. Traveling is another activity Mrs. Nelson hopes to take up in her retirement.

Mrs. Nelson stated that she will miss the friends she has made, the department heads and teachers she works with, and her co-workers. Everyone who has known Mrs. Nelson and the hard work she has contributed to Maine South will miss her.

Future of fishin' for Soucek Billions of wills; Wills up to your wazoo

Mr. Tony Soucek, a Driver's Education teacher, will be retiring at the end of this year. He has taught at Maine South for five years, and also has worked at other schools including Maine East and Maine West. Soucek has taught health classes

When asked what he will miss most about teaching, Mr. Soucek stated, "Definitely the kids.

They make my job interesting and I'm going to miss them."

His most memorable experience as teacher was being transfered to Maine South. He has enjoyed Maine South, the faculty, and the students he has come in contact with. "I love seeing kids three or four years after they graduate and tliey recognize me."

The question everyone asks him is how he can be so calm and cheerful all the time. It's just his nature. "I try to relax so the students have confidence in themselves. I like joking around. It makes tilings easier."

As far as future plans are concerned, Soucek plans to "travel, fish, and have no schedule."

Mr. Soucek had touched the lives of many here at South. His easy-going manner and the individual attention he gives will be missed greatly. We wish him good luck and happiness in the future.

Letter to editor lauds Presidents' Club Maine South's clubs and organizations have worked hard over the year to serve both the school and the community. Following is a letter commending the PresiderUs' Club for its efforts at Lutheran General Hospital during Christmas break.

Dear Members of the Presidents' Club, While my daughter was in Lutheran General Hospital in the middle of December, she received a lovely gift from you. She was 7 weeks old at the time and hospitalized for a high fever of unknown origin. We had a very trying and difficult time in the hospital, and I remember so clearly how really special, wonderful, and helpful it was to be visited by a few of your members, and to receive a lovely clear plastic ball with butterflies in it.

The very kind young man who gave it to us told us that his mother said that he had a similar toy which was his favorite. Now, this toy is my daughter's favorite, and she loves to watch the ball roll and the butterflies spin.

1 cannot begin to express to you my gratitude for your kindness and thoughtfulness; it really was a ray of sunshine that really, really helped a difficult situation be not so bad. Your caring and generosity will always be treasured and remembered.

My daughter is doing fine and is now 22 weeks old, and every day I am thankful for her and reminded of your kindness to us.

Most sincerely and gratefully, Sharon Gassner
