Miss Barbara Bobrich, choreographer, works out the dance steps for both the dance chorus and other cast members. She is involved with coaching the gestures and facial expressions of the singers and teaching steps to the children. "The dancing is a combination of folk dancing and ballet technique," said Miss Bobrich. "Dance sequences are not staged to be separate highlights, but are interwoven as part of the scenes to add color and atmosphere without distracting from the lead characters," she added. The sixteen-membcr dance chorus has practiced three hours a night in preparation for the show.

Mr. Daniel Padberg is in charge of the construction crew.

mountains. A material known as scrim, which looks like blue cheesecloth, has been placed in front of the mountains to give the effect of distance. The scrim is transparent when lights are turned upon it.

Mrs. Ray Brinker and Mrs. William Sterrett have been in charge of costumes. Working two sewing machines, the ladies of the Music Boosters have made tyrolean costumes, party dresses, and surplices to the nuns' habits; and have remade several evening gowns. Choir robes were rented for the nuns in both chorus and acting roles, however, the remainder of the habits were hand sewn. No permanent fasteners are sewn on the costumes, as that one outfit will fit each actor. The material must be bright and lively, and must be of a large print so that the patterns will show up in the back of the auditorium.

"We anticipate a great show, in keeping with the outstanding traditions of past shows," commented Mr. Lloyd Spear.

Nevertheless, if Maine South were judged by its best-selling books, it would be called completely Mad.

Junior, Senior Prom Plans Promise Excitement What's the most popular topic at the lunch tables these days?

Why, the up-and-coming Junior and Senior Proms, of course!

Conducting arrangements for the Senior Prom, "Cast Your Fate to the Wind," to be held Friday, June 2, are Nancy Tracy, general chairman: Judy Projahn, band; Sally Emerson,

bids; Gail Griffiths, invitations; and Debbie Hall, pre-prom dinner Ballroom of the Orrington Hotel in Evan'ston will be the site of this year's Senior Prom, which will be from 8:30 to 11 p.m.

Hand-painted

By Judy Projahn Every year, it is the duty of the senior class to invent some unusual and preferably humorous activity better known as the senior project or prank. This year's seniors have done a splendid job with a marvelous new idea for the general beautification of the library gravel pit. Yes, friends, I speak of nothing other than those famous senior rocks.

For the past several weeks, seniors have been good enough to devote the time and effort to personally decorating the rocks from the library. Although help from various underclass well-wishers has been offered, seniors have tried to keep it their project. The result is a bevy of beauties surrounding our lovely, genuine leafy plants in the library.

A good many of the rocks are painted in eye-catching solid colors such as neon green, iridescent orange, baby blue, shell pink, daffodil yellow, fireengine red, and violet violet.

These .solid colors are offset by gay patterns including pert polka-dots, bold plaids, and popular racing stripes. However, not only have the seniors painted these rocks, in some cases they have taken the trouble to in-

sponsors, and Jeff Reinke, Kathy Metz, Don Lossman, and I scoured the city and suburbs to find a suitable place for our prom," Nancy Tracy explained.

"The last decision was left to the six of us, and we finally chose the Orrington."

Dick Judson and his seven piece orchestra, who have appeared on Johnny Carson's Tonight Show, will provide both vocal and instrumental music at the prom. The entire dance floor at the Orrington will be available for dancing.

Senior Prom plans also include a pre-prom dinner to be held in the Orrington Hotel ballroom at 7 p.m. June 2. A complete dinner, including main meal, salad, and dessert will be offered, for $5 per person.

"One advantage of conducting this dinner is that we will only be charged for the dinner, and will not have to pay to rent the ballroom for the actual prom," Nancy added.

Tickets for the dinner will be sold during all lunch periods several weeks before the prom.

Each senior will receive an invitation to the Senior Prom during homeroom period. Included with the invitation will be a ticket which one member of each couple attending the prom must present before they enter.

Senior After-Prom, "Nighthawk," will be held on June 2 and 3, immediately following the Senior Prom at the Orrington Hotel. According to Mr. Edward Petrick, chairman of the after-prom PTC committee.

The trip starts with a train ride which will begin from the Park Ridge station around 2 a.m. After the three-hour trip to Lake Geneva, students will take a 45-minute boat ride across the lake.

When they arrive at George Williams College Camp in Williams Bay, Wisconsin, the location of their one-day holiday, breakfast will be served. Numerous activities will be available for the Nighthawks, including dancing, tennis, volleyball, baseball, and swimming.

After a chicken dinner at the camp, students will depart for home, arriving in Park Ridge no later than 4 p.m. on June 3.

In charge of plans for the Junior Prom, "Kon Tiki," are Donna Lyons and Jim Leuty, cochairmen; Donna Norton, band; Wendy Carlsen a n d

Rocks Immortalize scribe some meaningful message on them.

The viewer is indeed in store for a great many pearls of wisdom on the library rocks. They boast such slogans as "Nixon in '68" "Hi!", "Mike and Linda", "The Bobbsey Twins Visit the Library" and that ever famous informative label, "Rock".

The innocent bystander may not understand the throng of p e o p l e invariably gathered around the pit to check the new day's arrivals. He may ask what is going on, and "We're painting the rocks" is a rather curious answer. However, the seniors of Maine South feel that this is not a detraction but an addition to the school. We would like to list the following reasons for our choice of senior project this year: 1. It is colorful. The gorgeous rocks have obviou.sly added sparkling color and personality to a previously dull section of the library.

2. It is big. This project provided opportunity for participation by any and all members of the senior class. No senior was left out of the fun. . .and valuable experience.

3. It is educational. The painting of the rocks has encouraged students to develop latent ar-

Apathy Weakens Gov't.

Say Two South Students Tom Allin '68 and Dean DUlon '68 attended the April 14 peace march in New York to protest current U.S. poUcies concerning the war in Viet Nam. Tom and Dean, who had heard about plans for the march at a previous Chicago peace demonstration, traveled to New York by bus. With them were others from the Chicago area who attended the march.

Tom and Dean went on the march because they feel that the individual must express his opinions in a free society. Dean stated. "In a democracy, it is the duty of every citizen to express his opinion. Our government is for all of us. If we

Since the appearance of the rocks, students are also spending more time in the library; where, it is hoped, they will take advantage of the library's other attractions, namely, the books.

how many schools have handpainted rocks in the Ubrary?

Not too many. This demonstrates our dedication and our wish to leave a lasting mark on the school that has given us tliree unforgettable years.

Therefore, the senior rocks are not only decorative but deeply significant. It is our hope that equally good projects can be executed by future classes -And as we leave in June, the seniors will be satisfied to know that the Class of "67 is forever immortalized in stone.

don't express our opinion, it can only weaken the government."

Tom is concerned about the "apathy" of the American peo- . pie in g ^ e r a l and Maine South students in particular over "a war in which we are deeply involved " He said "I personally • would prefer an individual who actively supported U.S. actions in Viet Nam to one who just didn't care."

Tom continued, "Without public interest in national and world affairs, a government of, for, and by the people wUl come to exist only in the pages of burned history books."

Dean emphasized that the marchers had a variety of reasons for participating in the demonstration. "Everyone there did not have the same feelings about the war as everyone else.

There was even a member of the Green Berets marching in • the demonstration who h a d served in V'iet Nam." Tom and Dean both agree that the march will probably have no immediate effect upon U.S. poUcies in Viet Nam. The main effect of the march will be on the people of the country. Tom feels that now the people of this country may realize that "there are an awful lot of people in the United States that object to our poUcies, people who are sick of talking."

Altered Schedule Favors Hawk Pitching

By Gary Muka If Coach Van Proyea had his way that new baseball field under construction on the comer of Dee and Talcott would include a modified version of the Astrodome to keep out rain, wind, snow and any other wintry blasts that might prevent the rampaging Hawks from continuing their winning ways. T h e Hawkmen climaxed a string of eight victories without a loss last Wednesday with a crushing 8 to 0 win over Deerfield, but have since been confined to the locker room by a weather front which has prompted some outof-towners to ask if the sun ever shines here.

The weather may have put a temporary halt to the proceedings during a Hawk hot streak but South gets a chance to regain the momentum tonight when the varsity takes on the New Trier West cowboys at Southwest park. Although only a junior school as yet the cowboys played one of the finest games of the year against the Hawks on April 12. before succumbing to the strong arm of Rick Steffen and the rest of the Hawks 3 to 1. Although a litUe thin on pitching. New Trier

sports a solid attack and adequate defense.

The Hawks play one more important game Monday against Niles West before adopting an altered schedule, cluttered with makeup games. The Indians are 2 and 1 in conference to date and are considered a conference threat even though they haven't looked exceptionally strong in any particular area thus far.

They haven't been able to put together much of an offense to go with a better than average pitching staff, and have often suffered from lack of runs.

With postponements piling up for all the suburban teams during the last two weeks of rain, and make-ups threatening to turn the schedule into a game a day affair near the end of the year, the Hawk coaching staff sees their team with a definite advantage. Due to unusually fine pitching depth, the Hawks will ije in a better position to send a fresh pitcher to the mound every day when the games start piling up. A starting rotation of Richards, Larsen, and Steffen has already proved itself the most outstanding feature of the '67 Hawks.

The Hawks will also face Deerfield in a dual meet next Thursday. In their last encounter, the Indoor conference meet, the Warriors from Deerfield finished just 10.5 points ahead of the fourth place Hawks.

Next Friday the Hawks will take part in the Maine East Relays. This will be the second time that the Hawks have faced their sister school in the outdoor season. Last Tuesday the Hawks, Niles West, and Maine East all competed in a triangular meet that saw the Hawks take off with the first place honors.

Although most of the club averages are below the .300 mark, every player on the starting nine has come up with some fine performances at the plate, especially at the bottom of the order where the pitchers have been helping their own cause consistantly with clutch hits.

In the first nine games and especially the last two played, the Hawks have shown enough to convince Coach Van Proyen

and most of the fans that their is maybe no limit to what this team can do. After closely analyzing the team and assessing the total talent Coach Van Proyen has made it clear that this year's team could very well make good Maine South's claims to a State championship.

Attendance Increases Fan support thus far in the season has shown a decided improvement over last year, considering t h e unseasonable weather this spring. The- completion of the Hawks new field on school grounds should tend to increase interest to an even greater degree.

In looking forward to future conference action Niles North poses the biggest threat at the present.
