Three National Merit Scholars Reveal Their College Plans Arriving home from school on March 27, Margie Press '67 began shaking when she saw the official-looking envelope laying on the table. Her shaking soon turned to jumping and screaming when she read that she had won a National Merit Scholarship. Margie, Richard Witt, and Gail Swinnerton are the three Maine South students to receive this high honor this year. "It was just terrible trying to keep the news a secret. The letter of notification told us not to tell anyone about winning the scholarship until May 3, more than a month away." Margie exclaimed. "It nearly killed me to keep quiet during the rehearsals for the play 1 was in at church," she added. "One day at school a girl came up to me and said, 'I bet you got a Merit scholarship, I know you did.' Well, naturally I denied it but finally gave in and told her. I just couldn't keep quiet any longer." Gail Swinnerton couldn't re-
sist telling a few of her good friends about the good news. "My dad went around telling all of our relatives. It seemed like everybody knew," Gail said. According to Dick, keeping mum was no trouble for he or his parents. He received his National Merit Scholarship from the Sears Company, for which his dad is employed. A major in journalism at the University of Missouri is Dick's plan for the future. He gained experience in j o u r n a l i s m through his editorship of Flight '67, the creative writing magazine, and some work on Southwords. "I received a Bennington Merit Scholarship from Bennington College, which I plan to attend next year," Gail explained, before dashing out to a before-school AP exam practice session. "I don't know exactly what I will major in, probably languages or math." This year Gail acted as Tutoring Chairman for National Hon-
or Society in addition to working every day after school at Moheiser's in Park Ridge. Margie, who will attend Radcliffe College next fall, plans to beome a high school teacher. Her list of accomplishments for this year includes being chosen Park Ridge Junior Miss of 1967 and becoming a finalist in the Illinois State Junior Miss Pageant, student producer of VShow '67, and Organizations Chairman of Student Council. "One day during English class, Gail, Dick and I all received passes to the same place, which we found out later was to get our pictures taken for the National Merit winners," Margie explained. "Because we couldn't tell anyone about winning, each of us didn't know if the other two had been chosen as winners. Gail and I waited together, hinting about what we thought the pictures were for. We knew, when Dick entered the room singing "We're in the Money."

Finals Are Here Again! By Judy Projahn As the end of May draws undeniably near, it is time for aU Maine South students to realize that finals are no longer to be ignored. The excuse that they are still eons away has ceased to hold water, and we must face the fact that we are on the verge of destruction. The final test is an interesting curiosity. It is totally unlike any other. In the first place, the subject matter is almost completely undefined. "The book" is not quite the same as "chapters 13 and 14." This nebulous assignment leaves the student to his own devices as far as what to study is concerned. All too often, leaving the student to himself results in the student leaving the book to itself as well. This is definitely not the key to intellectual success. The final usually has a notable effect on one's grade. That is because it supposedly measures the student's accumulated knowledge from the entire course. If you are anything like me, my accumulated knowledge begins to disintegrate about fifteen minutes after the test for which it has been learned. By the time finals arrive, the ol' accumulated knowledge is down to a minimum of two weeks, and fear begins to creep into the unhappy scene. Some teachers realize that no student has yet qualified to be named "SuperMemory" and they confine the majority of the test to somewhat recent material. There are others, of course who expect that the information they have imparted throughout the year has emblazened itself in the stu-

dents' hearts forever. They, I am afraid, are wrong. Finals are of mixed significance. On one hand, they mark the end of another grueling year. On the other hand, they mark the occurence of mass hysteria. I feel that perhaps it is best to approach finals with a purely
calm and reasonable attitude. The final test is not out to get you. It can be successfully passed with a very simple maximum amount of terrific effort. It is silly to be afraid of a piece of paper. Just remember, finals only make or break your grade.

Afterwords
Salute To Merit Scholars This year Maine South is proud to have three National Merit Scholarship winners. A National Merit Scholarship is one of the highest honors a high school student can receive. Merit Scholars are selected on the basis of high schod grades, creative accomplishments, leadership abilities, school citizenship, and test scores. They receive the honor as a result of twelve years of devoted study and hard work. Faculty guidance along with individual initiative are the primary elements of this study. Excellent faculty guidance is provided here for students. Initiative has to be developed individually. These three students along with two other National Merit SemifinaUsts and twenty-two cormmendation winners have developed a desire to learn and a wilUngness to study as well as ambition to participate and lead in extracurricular activities. Southwords congratulates them for their accomplishments.
Adventure With A Used-car Salesman By Pete Ruth Editor's note: The following story was submitted by Pete Ruth, a member of Mr. Ken Realty's creative writing class, to fulfill an assignment. Greg Little left his house about 9:30 Saturday morning and started walking south toward the edge of town. He was on his way to Jim Jackson's Used Car Lot where he was going to price a used car. It had been two years since he received his license, and he figured it was about time he had a car of his own. It had rained the night before, but the clouds were breaking up and the sun was shining. The sun glistened on the puddles at Jackson's Used Car Lot. Every rut and pothole was filled with water. Greg made his way around the puddles to the office where he was greeted by a young salesman. Greg didn't know this, but this was the salesman's first day at Jackson's, and Greg was his first customer. "Good morning, friend," said the salesman. "What can I do for you today?" "Well, I was, ah, 1 wanted, ah, to price a few cars," said Greg. "Looking for a car, hey? Well you came to the right place. What did you have in mind?" "Well, I'm sorta interested in that '58 Pontiac over there." "She's a "beaut" all right. I'll get the key and we'll go take a look at her." The salesman went into the office, got the key, and then the two of them made their way to the far end of the lot where, the Pontiac was parked. The car was dark green with a dark green interior. A piece of chrome was missing along the side and the body was rusting out along the rocker panel. Greg wasn't too interested in looks, however. All he wanted
was a cheap means of transportation. "Yes sir," said the salesman. "You can't go wrong with a fine car like this." "How much," said Greg. "This car is in fine condition. It should sell for $500: but since you're my friend, I'll let you have it for only $425." "I don't know," said Greg. "That's a little out of my price range." "This car is worth every penny of $425. You couldn't get a better deal anywhere." "WeU, I . . ." "Get in. I'll start her up for ya." The two got in and the salesman tried to start the motor. Uhuh, Uh-uh, Uh-uh Uh-uh "This car works like a charm." Uh-ur Uh-uh, Uh-uh "How come it won't start?" "Ah, it's still a little cold," said the salesman. "At 50 degrees?" There was no answer. Uh-uh, Uh-uh. Uh-uh, Uh, Uh rummmmmm "There she goes, listen to that baby purrr." The salesman could tell that Greg wasn't too interested, but he kept on trying. "Here, I'll gun it for ya," said the salesman. "Listen!" Vvrroooom, blat, blat "Pretty good, isn't it?" Vvrrooomm. blat, blat. flit, flat, blat, CHIRP, klack, klack, klack, KLACK! •What's that?" cried Greg. But there was no answer because the salesman jumped out of the car. "What's that?" Greg repeated. "I don't know, but I'm sure, ah, it's nothing to worry about." •The salesman opened up the hood of the car and looked for the trouble. "It's only a broken fan belt," he reported.
Greg wasn't very interested in this car anymore. In fact, he wouldn't buy it now even if the price was lowered. The salesman, however, kept on trying. He put a new fan belt on and returned to where Greg was watching. "Get back in; I'U give you a test run. Then you can see how this baby works on the road." "Thanks anyway, but I don't think this is the car for me. Anyway, my dad has to O.K. it, and well, uh, . . ." "Is your dad home today?" "Yes." "Good, we'll drive over to show it to him now." Greg, not wanting to offend the saleman, finally accepted. The car started this time without too much trouble, and they pulled out of the lot avoiding the bigger potholes. During the entire trip to Greg's house, the salesman told of the merits of the '58 Pontiacs and the fair deals the customers receive at Jackson's. Finally, they reached the Littles' house and pulled into the narrow driveway. "I'll get my dad," said Greg as he ran up the sidewalk to the house. He had to explain to his father that he really didn't want the car. but he had told the salesman that his father would look at it. With this in mind, Mr. Little went out to take a look. "Vou must be Mr. Little," said the salesman. "My name is Jackson. Timothy Jackson. My uncle owns the u.sed car lot at the south end of town." "Yes, I know the place." "Your son picked out a real beauty of a car. Come take a look at it. I'll give you a test run." "Well, Mr. Jackson, I really don't think we want this car " "You can't find a better deal in town " "Thank you anyway, Mr.
Jackson, but I don't think we're interested." "You're sure you don't want a test ride?" "Yes, I'm sure." Realizing he was not going to make a sale, the salesman gave up. "Thank you for your time," he said. "You're welcome," said Mr. Little. "By the way, take it easy on the driveway. It's sort of tricky." " I can handle it. I'm an experienced driver." Immediately, however, the wheels of the car slid off the pavement into the soggy grass at the edge of the drive. Realizing he was off the pavement, he shifted into first and' tried to pull ahead. Vrreeeemmm, Vrreem. The wheels had now chewed up all. the grass and had tossed mud all over the lawn. Finally, the salesman made it into the street leaving a large mess of mud and water behind him. "Are you sure you don't want a test ride," said the salesman " sheepishly. "Well," said Mr. Little trying to keep his temper and to re- . main polite, "1 think I'll just forget the test ride, thank you. I have a bit of yardwork to do." "I hope I didn't hurt your lawn." "Oh no," said Mr. Little sarcastically. "We always have a ten foot trench next to the drive." Mr. Jackson drove off, and Greg and his father went to the garage to get a shovel. • "Well son," said Mr. UtUe. "If I were you, I'd stay away from Jackson's. You can get a good deal down at Harrigan's Ford or maybe one of your friends has one for sale." ".Maybe," said Greg. "Maybe."

By Gary Moka The Holy Cross Crusaders capitalized on a Maine South hitting slump, with fine pitching and defense Wednesday afternoon to deal the Hawkmen their first shutout of the season and eliminate South from State competition in the District finals. The loss was a disappointing blow to a Hawk squad which had entertained hopes of returning downstate this year for another shot at the State championship, but even now after the '67 season has virtually reached its greatest climax, a full round of conference action is still to be played. Regardless of the performance in the Districts, the true strength of this year's Hawk squad may be revealed within the next two weeks when the Hawks take on rival Central Suburban power Niles North among other conference foes. In the District semi-final against Ridgewood and again in the final game against Holy Cross, the Hawks seemed to be stricken with a sudden case of hitting anemia. In their first game against Ridgewood the Hawks were pitted against the lowest rated team in the tournament yet managed only four
Golfers Lose To New Trier, Host Tourney Tomorrow Hawk golfers will take in the first stop on the state tournament tomorrow by participating in the district meet. The Hawks win host the meet. Unlike most sports, there are no sectionals in golf. The entire winning team plus the two top golfers in every district go to the state tournament. The state meet will be held next Friday and Saturday. The Hawkmen got a taste of what the district and the conference meets would be like last week in the Wheeling Invitational. Every conference school except Deerfield and every district school except Notre Dame, Holy Cross, and St. Patrick, was in the meet. In all, sixteen schools participate. The Hawks finished second in the tournament, just three strokes off the winner. Libertyville captured top hon-
ors with 349. The Hawks finished with 352, and Wheeling came in third with 358. Golfers in the meet were accompanied around the course by a downpour which kept up during the entire meet. Mr. Gartner pointed out that the rain was the reason for the high scores. Invitational scores are usually around 320. Cliff Haka was the only Hawk to finish in the top five. He finished third with an 86. The other Hawk scores to be counted were Rusty Siebold's 88, Jeff Pederson's 89 and Rick Sanford's 89. In the last two meets, the Hawks did something they do not do very often. They lost. New Trier East dealt the Hawks their first loss in two years with a score of 313-326. Last year in the district, the men from New Trier edged out the
Frosfi- Soph Tennis Team Holds 2-1 League Record Maine South's Frosh-Soph tennis squad has posted a two-win one-loss record thus far in Central Suburban League play. In the first two meets, New Trier West and Niles West both fell by 4-1 scores, while in their most recent meet last Tuesday, they were defeated by Deerfield 3-2. Fred Henshaw '69, playing first singles, has maintained a perfect conference slate, defeating his New Trier, Niles, and Deerfield opponents. At the second doubles spot, Bill Bums '69, took his matches against New Trier and Niles, but lost in the Deerfield meet. Craig Chamberlin '70, at the third singles position facing New Trier and Niles, chalked up victories in both meets. John Ongman '69, played third singles against Deerfield and was defeated. First doubles, not being as fortunate as the rest of the team, is winless to date. Paul Alfassa '69, and Tom Carlson 'SS, absorbed losses in the first two meets, and Alfassa
and Chamberlin lost to Deerfield Tom Pomorski '69, and Bruce Gjertsen '69, along with first singles, have established an undefeated conference recird as they swept all three matches playing at second doubles. Based on these results. Coach Snider expressed belief in the potential of the little Hawk netmen to take top honors in conference. Both New Trier West and Niles West were expected to provide rough tests of the capabilities of the squad. Deerfield, with some exceptional freshmen talent, proved itself to be a strong conference contender. Coach Snider forsees a further rough contest with Niles North, and the two Glenbrooks being weaker conference powers. In addition, the Hawks have the conference meet to look forward to, in which enough points to decide the conference championship are thrown up for grabs among these schools.
Hawks and then went on to win the state championship. In spite of what the score may show, the Hawks did quite well. The meet was held at Skokie Playfield, the home course for New Trier. Most coaches will agree that the home course gives two to three strokes to each golfer on the home team. The best New Trier score was a 78. Hawk Les Matthews shot an 80 while Cliff Haka came in with an 81. Rusty Siebold shot 82 and Jeff Pederson 83. Glenbrook South was the other team to stand in the way of a Hawk victory. Glenbrook beat the Hawks 325 to 322 on Tuesday. Hawk scores were no where near their best. Jeff Pederson was low with 81. Rich Sanford was next with 82, with Cliff Haka following with 83. Frank McCuUough was the other Hawk score to be counted with 85. Mr. Gartner pointed out that with the change to daylight savings time, the teams would play as many holes as possible. The golfers go onto the course in sets of four. The score will be counted up to the hole the final foursome plays to. Previously, the golfers have been getting in only nine holes.
hits off Ridgewoods slow curveballer Scarpelli. This meager hit total seems even more appalling when it is considered Uiat the stubborn rebels took the Hawks four extra innings before falling 3 to 2 in the eleventh inning. . . . Early Rally Crushed Unlike their performances prior to the Districts, the Hawks seemed unable to come up with the big inning. With the Hawk strategy set at jumping out to a lead early for a crushing moral factor, the Hawkraen got the first three men on base, to load the bags against Ridgewood in the first inning, but scored only one run. The Hawks came out of the inning with an early lead but contrary to strategy, the double play which ended the inning seemed to spark the Ridgewood squad, and the Rebels came on to tie the score in the third inning on a single, stolen base, a balk, and a sacrifice. South went ahead again in the fourth inning when Scott Kaufman scored on an error by the shortstop, but Ridgewood got another moral boost in the top of the fifth when their little shortstop made up for the boot by clouting a Rick Steffen fastball over Scott Kaufman's head for a home run. . . . Win on error Five innings of fine pitching by Rick Steffen and Scarpelli then followed before the Hawks pushed over the winning run in the eleventh on a hit by O'Hare and a throwing error by Scarpelli. During those five scoreless innings the Hawks exhibited some of the great infield abilities that set them off as a winner even though they weren't hitting at the time. At second base Jeff Riemer played one of the greatest games of the y e a r , and Henry Perez impressed most fans with his strong arm and glovework. When the Hawks walked off the field with the win, Coach Van Proyen expressed his satisfaction at winning the game but was quoted as saying "I'm glad
we won, but tomorrow would you bring your bats?" Wednesday's game was a clash between two similar styles of play as the Hawks and Crusaders played pitching and defense once again, waiting for the other team to make a mistake. The Hawks ran into trouble first in the fifth inning and it cost them a ballgame. . . . Pitchers Lose Control Chuck Richards started for the Hawks and shut out Holy Cross for the first four innings while striking out six batters and giving up only two hits. But for the second day in a row, the Hawk batsmen were baffled by a good curveball and had gone hitless against Mike Mores in support. Richards, who works best behind a substantial lead, started having problems in the fifth when he • gave up his first run on three singles and then walked a man to load the bases. Two straight balls to the next hitter con- " vinced coach Van Proyen that Chuck had lost his control and Dave Larsen was brought in from the bullpen to try and get the third out. Larsen worked the count to three balls and then hit the batter on the elbow with a pitch that would have been ball four. The second run was forced across and the Holy Cross centerfielder came to the plate. Larsen walked another run in before retiring the following batter on a fielders choice, but the Crusaders had already done the damage with three runs. The Hawks managed only three hits the rest of the game and threatened to score only in the fifth inning when they put together back to back singles, but again ended the inning with an infield out. The biggest challenge of the year may be yet ahead as Coach Van Proyen and Coach Schmidt are challenged with the • problem regaining the momentum and moral of a conference race after the State prize is out of their grasp.
Cindermen Prepare for Conference and Districts Outdoor track season is rapidly coming to a close with the Hawks having only 2 dual meets left on their schedule.

unseat Deerfield as the conference champions. In track, conference standings are decided entirely in the conference meet, and not through individual team standings. Indoors, Deerfield beat Maine South by 10V4 points to take home the honors. The Hawks finished fourth in that, meet, but when the cindermen moved outside they have beaten the two teams that have separated them from Deerfield. Deerfield, t h o u g h , ruined South's 4 win 0 loss record on May 5 by defeating the Hawks 72 to 55. In that meet the' Hawks earned first places when John Weiss won the 440-yard dash. Greg Possehl won the low. hurdles, Chris Zei won the 220hard dash, John Snodgrass won the pole vault and Dave Butz gold medaled in both the discus and shot put.

The Hawks took a one-twothree clean sweep in the twoi mile run with Jim Sherman winning. Randy McClure placing second, and Pat Mountain finishing third. Maine also swept the 100-yard dash as Rich Maerk, Joe Paczkowski, and Bill Schuessler took all the honors.
