Presidents offer advice to students S.C. is integral avenue for involvemen by Susan Swanson Have you ever wondered about what goes on in Student Council? As the year comes to an end, it is a good time to reflect on what Student Council has accomplished. Before the school year even began, we had to plan book sales and Homecoming. After a successful Homecoming weekend, all of our efforts were directed toward V-Show. Student Council's Food Drive, SHARE '91, was the best one Maine South has seen. We brought in S5000 which was then donated to three different charities. The entire school should be very proud because it shows we can pull together and do something good. Student Council also organized three assemblies, the Ice Cream Social, a Student Exchange with Prospect, and ran two holiday card exchanges. We worked on student right issues such as cafeteria problems and smoking. Student Council is the bridge between the

administration and the students, and I wish more people understood the value of that bridge. If you are unhappy about something that is going on around school there are many things you can do. Talk to your homeroom rep., the officers, and the sponsors, or write a note in the suggestion box. If you write your name on the note. Student Council will write you back. Also, exercise your right to vote, this year we had only ten percent of the school vote. So remember for next year to get involved in your student government, take advantage of Student Council. I would like to thank all of the active members of Student Council, and our sponsors Mr. Feichter and Ms. Finneran. I would like to wish Brenda Saavedra ('92-93 President) and the rest of the incoming council good luck. Please remember how important your involvement in Student Council can be. Thank you.

Fern's Bueller proves a good point by Nancy Green It's weird to remember the immortal words of Dr. Cachur when he told us as freshmen that, "Life moves pretty fast. If you don't stop and look around, it might pass you by." He wanted us to "get involved" in school, so he quoted a movie about a high school student and how he spent his day cutting school. "Getting involved" was our given mission at Maine South from that moment up until we graduated in '92. Despite "seniorilis", we were able to stay somewhat involved for all four years at Maine South. During our senior year we had especially good results from the fun activities we participated in. We had the most floats in the Homecoming parade, the

best ticket sales ever at Maine South for both Homecoming and Beach Party, won the lip synch contest and even won the spring spirit contest, but allowed the juniors to have it out of pity for their lip synch attempt and for the year they still have yet ahead of them. Basically, you only get out of life what you put into it. Ferris Bueller put so much effort into his day off that he probably got the most, if not more out of it. College, work, or whatever post-high school plans you may have is a chance to continue your involvement in life. Don't forget, this summer is your chance to stay involved by attending or by hosting plenty 'o graduation parties. Congratulations class of '92 and good luck.

A fond farewell to retiring faculty and staff CK, Lee Anderson Science Department

Helen Dimperio

Joan Vering

English/Substitute

Librarian

Mr. Anderson, who started teaching Geology in 1968, has decided that the time has come to call it quits. He has come to the conclusion that there is "more to life than teaching," and plans to spend some time figuring out exactly what that might be. Mr. Anderson and his wife look forward to spending summers in their Michigan home and to some winter travel to Australia, South America, or Africa. Mr. Anderson bluntly admitted that he will not miss teaching much, but knows he definitely does not want to become a Jeopardy junkie. He hopes to see more of his friends and to experience life. Although he has seen no academic change in his juniors and seniors over the years, he has been able to check out their adjustments in social situations, such as at the Senior Prom. Mr. Anderson has been able to become involved with seniors as the senior class sponsor, and has happily chaperoned twenty-three senior proms. Whatever road Mr. Anderson chooses, it is sure to be interesting. -

While many people know Mrs. Dimperio, few people know that she's retiring. Mrs. Dimperio attended the Illinois Institute of Technology to obtain a Liberal Arts degree. Soon after graduation she began studentteaching in Chicago and substituting at Mary, Seat of Wisdom. Soon after, Mrs. Dimperio began substituting at Maine South. During her 15 years here, Mrs. Dimperio went through many changes in teaching. She came as a sub and soon after became a regular teacher. However, 3 years later, many teachers, including Mrs. Dimperio, were let go from the teaching staff. In 1980, Maine South asked her to return as a permanent substitute and to fill in for teachers on leave. She has kept that position for twelve years. Mrs. Dimperio has many memories of her years at South. She says that she enjoys both regular teaching and substituting because she can get to know the students as they grow. She has also enjoyed the "professionalism and friendship of the staff." All told, Mrs. Dimperio feels that her years at Maine South were "15 years that I thoroughly enjoyed."

Mrs. Joan Vcring, one of Maine Soulh's treasured librarians, will be leaving South after twenty-two years of hard work. She says she decided to retire because her husband is also retiring this year and they hope to spend more time together. Although she will miss the students who frequented the library, Mrs. Vering looks forward to vacationing in Germany and Ireland and to spending time with her grandchildren. Her fondest memories will be of the freshman she has watched grow over the years. She holds a special place in her heart for Mr. Schultz's Advanced Placement U.S. History students. She calls them her "special people" because the amount of time they spend in the library enables her to get to know many of them better. She fondly remembers the reading pit of years past, and the mischief that took place there. But her most rewarding experience is meeting up with Maine South graduates years later and catching up with their lives. Fortunately, Mrs. Vering plans to keep in touch for many years to come.

Richard Mastrolonardo -- Art Department One of the most esteemed members of the Arts Department faculty, Richard Mastrolonardo, is leaving Maine South after 22 years of service. Throughout his years of employment, Mr. Mastro has taught various artclasses, and has done make-up and choreography for Maine South musicals. Mr. Mastro graduated from The Art Institute of Chicago. He owned a floral shop during the four years between his discharge from the U.S. Army and the beginning of his career as an art teacher. Before coming to Maine South, Mr. Maslro worked in Chicago at Waller High School for ten years as an art teacher and vocational coordinator. Also during this time, Mastro received a great amount of experience in creating interesting project ideas for his students while staying within the confines of a limited budget. Mr. Masfro expresses some regret at leaving Maine South, however he states that he wants to "encounter new avenues" and that it is time to move on. When asked about his plans after retirement, he said that he would like to keep working in the area of art education. One way he might accomplish this would be by developing text materials and testing measures for Illinois testing requirements. Although excited about his future, Mr. Mastro will definitely miss Maine South.

PMS syndome finally takes its toll by Imran Siddiqui "Yeah right!" Or so I thought as a freshman. "What? this large, obtuse, showcase-tothe-world churning out education...my HOME?窶年OT!" Just call me kookie, but it may be true. An assembly at Maine South may have actually had a hint of truth and reality, all wrapped in a neat, five-word package. Home, casa, chez, life, liberty, pursuit of happiness. Your home is your castle, no man is a castle, maine south. That's what it all comes down to. Before we go off into the great wide yonder, it seems that maybe we have already been there. This great wide yonder has been my home, my place to pursue my dreams, my sanctuary, my companion - and probably yours. I haven't physically changed that much since freshman year, but this place sure seemed gargantuan back then. Now, I know parts of Maine South better than I do regions of my own house. There are the music zones, the art zones, the practical zones, the literary zones, the administrative zones, and the erogenous zones. But perhaps they are the musicartpracticaliterary zones. No man is an island. All these zones blur...another four-letter

word - home. There were weeks of time during which I spent more time at maine then I did at my real home. But then, which is my real home? Times during which I wouldn't even get a chance to say hello to mr sunbeam. Upbeforedawnofftoswimmingstnigglcthroughclassesbacktoswimmingfinishthepapersleep. The days would seem to blur by, but south would always be here, ready to occupy my hours. What is a home? A place to rest yourself, to sit back and relax, to enjoy yourself, to feel loved by family or friends, maine south. Post maine south syndrome has finally hit me, and boy, it's starting to hurt already. Sure there were times I didn't want to come to school. Times is seemed boring, or hectic, or ridiculous...but what doesn't? Where else can you see some of the brightest, nices, healthiest, most filled-with-potential people that you'll ever know? Sure we'll be off to college or work or whatever, but can you say that you'll really not miss high school? Four years ago, this stalwart bastion of buildingness meant nothing to us. Now, it means nothing to us - except as a symbol. A symbol of the people within that you like and love, a symbol of how hard work can pay off, a symbol of learning, of

running, of competing, of striving, of succeeding, of failing. Even if the walls were to come down, the symbol would still be there. I knew maine south, and senator, maine south is no Ozymandias. We, the people - the students, the teachers, the friends, will live on and beyond Maine South. We are not a faltering symbol, its meaning lost in time. We are a living, breathing symbol of friendship, intellect, physical prowness, tears, and joy. Love = ? I often couldn't care less about the building. At six o'clock on a winter morning, with the heat vents puffing, it looks like Maine South is trying to physically churn out 'excellence in education'. It looks okay, I guess. Lots of time and effort are spent by our diligent custodial staff to keep it looking good, but is this maine south? I don't love this building. I may like walking down the halls, but that's different. The people, the relationships that I've built, the friends, the acquaintances, the personalized smile. THIS is the maine south I've learned to enjoy, and THIS is the maine south that I'll miss.

Bittersweet memories of Maine Soutti

by Josh Anderson In the final day or two of our high school career, I'd like to take this opportunity to express my feelings toward this institution. When John Milton said, in Paradise Lost, "The mind is its own place, and in itself can make a heaven of hell, a hell of heaven," he meant that with everything we look at, in one way or another, it's our attitude that determines what we get out of it. Throughout these four years I've had mixed feelings between what is right and what is wrong. I don't know who is in charge, but it's hard for me to agree with them when they're "laying off twelve brand new, fresh, youngminded teachers so the school can afford to keep its umpteen administrators (including a plethora of vice-principals), on the payroll. I guess it does seem logical to get rid of the teachers who are willing to teach and not the ones that are more concerned about kicking students out of the Bill Clinton political rally to make room for themselves. The Hawk Boosters. A band ofjock-loving simpletons. Maybe the football team and the Hawkettes deserve all the money they get, but the hockey team hasn't even been endorsed by the school in their entire existence. The expense can no longer be used as an excuse to

keep the team out of the halls of Maine South. On the optimistic view of this palace, we have gone through years of great opportunity. A fine-arts department that is turning out great musicians, artists and actors, a well-maintained school grounds for the athletes, a building that is open the community, and a new library that can easily be rented out as a dance club/bar.

This school has introduced all of us to new ideas, friends and opportunities that we will face the rest of our lives. Through good and bad, Maine South has been a home and a good place to spend our day. Even though the administration will probably restrict the clothing attire to white, one-piece jumpsuits (no hats of course), at least we will have a football team that can mosh.

On one twenty-fifth of a century /lAÂť \7rtfd7 f^t^/^vt by Nate 1-Jlll Huliman It was 1988. It was a Presidential election year. There were the Olympics. It was the year after Halley's comet, I think. I was a freshman. It was my first year of high school.

I plan on not doing this as I leave good old ms. I leave knowing that life next year for those who are staying will be pretty much the same, except that they will be older and in new classes, of course. The world continues. I came, I did, I left. What I did is not what I expected to do and I am glad. Well, Farewell. I wish you a leisurely summer and homework not too oppressive in the future. Live long and prosper. Greetings.

Ruminations and reminiscences

by Carolyn Chandler One of the first memories I have of Maine South is sitting in the auditorium on the first day of school and listening to a movie that told us that high school days were "the best days of our lives." One of the reasons that I remember this particular line of the song is that I promptly lost my schedule and was frantically searching the floor for it while that line ran in my head over and over again. Aside from this very freshman-like problem, the words I was thinking of didn't mean that much to me. So these were the best days of our lives...did that mean that I would always remember being a freshman? At the time that seemed like a very bleak prospect. Surprisingly, freshman year was actually one of my favorites. It was certainly an exciting year, when the closed society of junior high school was suddenly opened into a wide vista of possibility. There was so much to do, and so many people, that Maine South seemed to be larger than life. Every activity that I became involved in was something totally different from anything that I had every experienced before. I looked up to the seniors and looked down on...well, freshman didn't have anyone to look down on. And that was good, too. We were fresh. Then came sophomore year, the year of the wise fool. The initial rush of high school life was over. High schooljust wasn't the romantic life I had thought it was. I still had fun, but

freshman year activities didn't seem to be enough anymore. Time to try some new things. The year of testing. Looking through the senior biographies, it seems that sophomore year activities had more staying power than freshman ones. It was the year we buckled down and decided how we were going to pass time lime during high school. The activities still had a touch of shine to them, though. Junior year began, and some of the old glamour came back for a while. We were "upperclassmen." We could cop an attitude. Of course, we were a little too busy testing to cop MUCH of an attitude, but it still felt good to be older and driving. The first taste of freedom behind the wheel. It was wonderful to have that freedom without the responsibility of being an adult. I remember how it felt, having an early birthday, to be one of the first in my class who had a license. I would drive my friends around, rolling the windows way down and blasting the radio, daring the old ladies crossing the street to protest against the noise, and calling out the point value of each pedestrian. Sometimes I would get my keys out early and jingle them a httle as I walked to the car. It felt good. Senior year came, and with it, senioritis. We were the "Big Men" on campus, and all others must show deference. We joked about the hall monitors, telling each other that, if one stopped us, all we would have to do is say,

"ExCUSE me...I am a SE-nior," and they would apologize profusely and wipe our shoes off as we passed. Of course, it didn't quite happen that way...but it should have. By the end of the first quarter came the "This Is The Last Time We Will - " Syndrome. The last Homecoming, and for once I actually knew all of the Queen nominees. The last Beach Party...that one hurt. The last Activities Assembly...I still haven't gotten that one down. With these thoughts, I realized something. No matter what I have found with Maine South in the past, no matter how much I've moaned about the work or the standardized tests, I'm going to miss this place. The image of college looms in my mind...a litUe exciting, a little scary. Just like when I was starting high school. ..but different somehow. This is freedom in a new sense. More freedom, more work, and the constant thought of the career to come. In college, even the electives usually have some purpose behind them. It is necessary, but a little sad. Hopefully high school days are not the best days of our lives, because that would be a depressing thought in itself. What would we look forward to? But high school certainly has been a time of change, and growth. These are days I will not forget. And whether I hang on to the friends I have now, or lose them over the span of years, I'll still have the memories. We'll always have the memories.
