The state contest will be composed of the first and second • place from the sectionals. It

wiU be held on March 31 and .April 1 at Illinois State University at Normal, Illinois.

Five New Speech Courses Will Encourage Communication Skills With the addition of five new courses, the speech area has , expanded its program to include 350 students enrolled in nine different courses.

"These five new courses. Drama II, Radio-TV, public speaking, vocational speech, and creative dramatics, have had a good start," stated Mr. Hal Chastain, assistant head of the English Department. "There is a high level of enthusiasm in a l l classes."

"The speech program is designed to give all students the opportunity to reach their full potential as intelligent, imaginative, creative, and logical thinkers and speakers," Mr. Chastain said.

The basic benefits to the student of a speech course are il. lustratcd in the results obtained from a research project conducted by Charles G. Hurst at Howard University. . . . Speech Students Better The project sought to show the relationship between speech training and the success of first and second year college students. Results showed that students doing well in a speech course generally did better work in all subject areas that those

with no speech training.

Expanding on the result of this project, Mr. Chastain added, "Speech training improves a person's ability to communicate with others, enabling him to express his knowledge and opinions more clearly."

"Speech training goes beyond developing self-confidence," Mr. Chastain continued. "It includes learning how to select a topic and to support and organize the material into the best form."

"There is a student need for both English and speech courses.

The two compliment each other.

Too many students write only for the teacher. In speech classes, ideas are presented openly.

The response from the audience is immediate. This opportunity is not always available in regular English classes." . . . Drama II Produces Claudia The production of the fulllength play Claudia as an educational project will culminate studies of dramatic techniques and procedures in the new Drama II class. The play, staffed and cast exclusively by the Drama II class, will be presented this spring.

Jan Christopher, Maine South senoir, has been elected to the McCall's Teen Fashion Board, an international organization.

Jan was nominated by her Clothing III Class and recommended by Miss Karen Tumble.son, home economics department chairman. She was selected because she is an outstanding home economics student, excelling in the area of clothing design. Many schools nominate students; however, membership, which lasts one year, is limited.

Jan stated, "It's an honor to represent Maine South on the McCall's Teen Fashion Board.

I'm sure that other girls who represent their schools feel the same way."

Jan will now receive a catalog containing fashion and sewing tips; a monthly newspaper with articles about other board members; a pin and a membership card. She has sent McCall's several original designs.

Jan plans to attend the University of Missouri next September, majoring in either Clothing and Textiles, which would lead to a teaching career; or Fashion Merchandising which concentrates on the business end of the fashion world.

Then they will cross the English channel by boat to Holland where they will spend three or four days visiting Amsterdam and Rotterdam.

Before they leave Holland, the students will have a chance to swim in the North Sea at Schedeningen.

A boat trip up the Rhine River and into West Germany will follow for the travelers. On the way, they will get a good look at the beautiful and historical castles in the Rhine valley. In Germany, the students will visit the university town of Heidleberg and the Cathedral of Cologne.

Then the students, traveling by combination of public and chartered busses, will drop down into Austria, seeing Salzburg, home of the Van Trap family of "Sound of Music" fame, and Olympics.

Next, the students will go into Italy to see the flood damage of Florence and Venice and the splendors of Rome. They will see Vatican city, the coliseum, the Roman Forum, the catacombs, Monnaco, and many other spots of interest before they stop at the Italian Riviera to relax and enjoy the sun.

Miss Anderson and Mr. Paul Healy, both English teachers at Maine East, will accompany the group and conduct a series of lectures in route, so that the students can learn as they travel. The students will earn one credit for the course.

. . . Weekend Activities Classes at the lycee are held in the morning only, with the afternoons and weekends left open for excursions, sports, and social events.

All activities, which include European games, dances, and folklore, are planned to include French and other European teen-agers.

Gary Johnson added, "One of the most important parts of the program is actually meeting French kids our own age. I think we learned more through actual conversation with our French frienhs than classroom work."

"We met a large group of French kids, and they invited us to all of their activities," Gary said. "They were more than willing to talk to us about current events, life in the United States, or any subject."

"Sandi Mitchell '68, said of the classes at the lycee, "Don't let them scare you! After you take the placement test the first day, you are with kids all on your level. Our professors were all French—some young and some old." . . . French Penpals For about five months before leaving for France, the students correspond with their French pen-pal in Quimper.

She added, "We had a couple parties at the lycee and went • to one at a famous sailing school in Benodet, which kids from all over Europe attended.

The boys there were just thrilled to • meet an American girl and they just loved to hear us speak French."

"Just shopping around town was very rewarding," Sandi stated. "The people are so nice and helpful to you. I can't. stress enough how important and fun it is to try out your French. The French people just love to hear us." . . . Quimper Excursions During their stay at Quimper, the group takes excursions to the curious old monastery of Mont Saint-Michel, the ancient megaliths of Camac, the walled island city of Saint Malo, and the chateau country of the Loire Valley.

Sandi added, "Other excursions were nearer to Quimper.

We spent a day on an island in the Atlantic, we had an unexpected great time at a farm in Brittany, and we explored the coast of Brittany, which is the most beautiful 1 have ever seen."

Two weeks of sightseeing in Europe includes a tour of London before arriving in Quimper and a five-day stay in Paris before arriving in Quimper and a five-day stay in Paris before departing for the United States..

Job Training Needed For Labor Market Occupations Today, only one out of ten high school graduates entering the labor market has any specific job training.

The school, realizing the value of a rapid and smooth transition from school to a student's chosen field, is initiating programs

to assist in this transition. One such program is Supervised Job Training (S.J.T.) which is now in effect at Maine South.

S.J.T. is a work-study program which enables the student to acquire specific job training.

Students in the program select

PTC's Discuss Education Needs Because of its importance to college planning, all M a i n e Township High School students and their parents are invited to attend two panel discussions presented by the sophomore and freshman PTC groups.

The sophomore PTC will meet January 24 at 8 p.m. in the auditorium to hear a panel discuss finance, availability of scholarships, loans and other financial aid for college bound students.

The Freshmen PTC will meet January 25 at 8 p.m. in the auditorium to discuss "Registration of Freshman Students for Sophomore Year."

James L. Coburn, chairman of Maine South counselors, and Mr. James Bonney and Mrs. Helen Tieman, Maine S o u t h counselors, will be the panel for the sophomore meeting.

Mr. Kenneth Reese and Mrs. Barbara Sides, counselors, will discuss the choosing of subjects, college prep courses, and suggestions to aid freshmen in planning for future education. Sum-

Interact Shows 'Grapes of Wrath' Grapes of Wrath, a movie taken from John Steinbeck's novel, will be shown Saturday, January 21, at 1 p.m. in the Maine South auditorium.

Cost wiU be 60 cents per person. Tickets will go on sale during lunch periods beginning January 16.

Interact is sponsoring the showing of the film to raise money for the Park Ridge student who will take a slide presentation overseas. The presenlation consists of about 50 slides and a tope in several foreign languages, depicting teen-age life in Park Ridge.

A committee of Rotary Club members and Dr. Clyde K. Watson will decide which student will go abroad to Germany, France, and Spain to present the slides during the summer of 196'i'.

Grapes of Wrath reveals the hardships of the Joad family, who is forced to leave its farm during the depression of the thirties.

Mr. EUenwood, sponsor of Interact, urges all students to attend the film. "This film offers an excellent opportunity for history and literature students to observe how one family confronts the problems of the great depression."

Refreshments will be served both evenings.

a specific job area in the field of industry or service occupations in which he is interested.

He then actually works one-half of the school day at his job and the other half of the day is spent in regular classroom study.

Through S.J.T., the student becomes aware of the demands of the working world and acquires a more realistic attitude toward his own abilities.

"The cooperation of local industries has been very satisfying. They have indicated a strong desire to be a part of this work-study program. The employers help coordinate the program and give progress reports on each student. Any weaknesses the student may have, as indicated by the progress report, is corrected in school. Each student, in turn, is graded for work both inside and outside the classroom," said Mr. Richard Sass, industrial cooperative education coordinator.

The student, through this program, becomes aware of the continuous process of education which wiU be required of him throughout his productive years in the labor market.

Job stations in the S.J.T. Program encompass interesting and varied areas. Some examples are: machinist assistants, beautician assistants, vending machine servicemen, plastic molders, general mechanics, and furniture production line workers.

Students Begin To Register for '67 Registration for next year and summer school is now being made.

Registration for sophomores began January 4, and wiU end January 19. For freshmen registration will be from January 26 to February 15, and for juniors February 16 through March 2.

A week before the appointment with the counselor is scheduled, a letter will be sent to students' homes to notify parents of the appointment so that they may attend to help in course selection.

Mr. James L. Coburn, Director of Guidance, reminds stu-

dents that all course selections made with the counselor are final.

Courses in summer school this year will cost $18 for a halfcredit course and $35 for a full credit course.

Summer school will begin June 12 and end August 4.

This summer, students may choose from five new courses.

Added to the present summer school curriculum will be Foods, a full credit course; Trigonometry, a full credit; Music Appreciation, a half-credit; and Theater Workshop, no credit.

Speech Training Increases Poise; Helps To Develop Self-Confidence (CONTINUH2) FROM PAGE 1)

Vocational speech, another new course this year, is designed for juniors and seniors who are not planning on formal education beyond high school.

The course helps students improve personal speaking habits and develop .skills of written communication.

Vocational speech is a one semester course carrying one half credit.

Like vocational speech, creative dramatics, the fifth new course, is designed for students not planning to go to college.

Creative dramatics is a performance course in which students dramatize real and fictional situations. Creative dramatics, a one semester course of>en to juniors and seniors, carries one half credit. . . . Speech Arts Is Basic Speech arts, a course which has been in the curriculum for several years, is offered for one credit. Speech arts, open to sophomores, juniors, and seniors, provides basic experience and study in all areas of oral communication. This full year course includes preparing and delivering speeches, oral interpretation of literature, panel discussion, parliamentary procedure, and an introduction to dramatics.

. . . Drama I Drama I is another performance course in the speech program in which students read, analyze, and present scenes from a wide range of dramatic literature. Students are introduced to basic production problems and also learn vocal control and diction. Drama I is a one credit course open to sophomores, juniors, and seniors. . . . Stagecraft Stagecraft is a course for students interested in the backstage elements of play produ tion. Students are introduced to the technical theater and assist in the preparation of scenery for school productions. Stagecraft, open to students of all classes, is a full year one half credit course which can be repeated for an additional one half credit. . . . Debate Program The debate class is coordinated with the extra-curricular debate program involving tournaments with other schools. The aims of the debate program are to help students think logically, prepare and present convincing arguments, and recognize and refute faulty reasoning. Debate is also a full year one half credit course which can be repeated for an additional one half credit.

Course To Teach Engineering Graphics Graphic language is man's oldest method of communication. Ideas were conveyed with pictures in the days of the caveman and today the illustrations may be an artist's painting, a photographer's print, an engineer's sketch or a draftsman's carefully executed orthographic drawing.

The principles of orthographic projection provide the necessary detail of design and construction of machine parts or an architectural structure. If an object cannot first be drawn, it probably cannot be made.

With these ideas in mind, Maine South will institute a course in graphic engineering next year.

Many engineering problems dealing with space structures and positions may be solved graphically with sufficient accuracy and in much less time than is required for mathematical solutions. Graphical investigation and determination of such variable quantities as vector geometry, charts and graphs, nomagraphy and empirical equations is the same for all engineers.

The electrical engineer determining an electrical equation would draw upon the same graphical knowledge as a mechanical engineer dealing with pressure and temperature.

Engineering graphics is open to those students who have a

strong interest in engineering and is designed to provide a sufficient background for engineering courses. Interested juniors and seniors who have had two

years of mathematics with a B grade or better in the second year may qualify for engineering graphics.

Instruction includes such ar-

eas as projection theories, nomagraphy, axonemetry and descriptive geometry with the emphasis placed on theory and solution rather than drafting skills.

M r . Vernon Rauch is explaining a problem in Engineering Graphics that relates to geology and similar fields.

Although the battle that had just ended was in reality no more than an intersquad scrimmage on a regular practice date the workout held special significance for all those on the varsity roster.

After Friday night's humiliating loss to Glenbrook, c o a c h Brady had made clear to the players and to the public that there were to be some changes to be made in the week to come and to all the players this meant the difference between a starting spot or a seat on the bench.

After losing the last three games, Coach Brady is willing to do almost anything to bolster his scoring punch which has been lacking of late. The team has been under shrewd observation during the week and the players,

Freshmen Set League Pace The Glenbrook South Titans nave come and gone and Maine South came up the victor in all three basketball games on Saturday. January 7.

Mr. Verber, coach of the freshman A squad, commented before the game, "If we play well, we'll win."

Throughout the first quarter, both teams were e q u a l l y matched. With the help of 6'3" Greg Smeltzer and John Angster controlling the backboards, the team led at the end of the first quarter 16 to 11.

The second quarter was a fast moving battle to control the backboards on the part of both teams. The Hawks seemed to gain momentum and scored 21 points while the Titans gained a mere four points. Maine was really putting on the press. The half ended with the Hawks 22 points ahead, 37 to 15.

During the half. Coach Verber expressed his satisfaction with the team's playing by saying, "We're looking real good against their press." In the second half. Coach Verber directed the boys to take off the fullcourt press and concentrate on just the half-court. . . . Hawks Hold Lead The third quarter saw two teams settling down to a long job ahead of them; Glenbrook to close the gap, and Maine to hold the lead. Despite the long half behind them, Mike Nevins and the other boys were really hustling. Along with the help of big Greg Smeltzer, who was setting some beautiful screens, and fleet-footed Jim Williams, the team managed to hold their lead to 20 points, 50 to 30.

The fourth quarter came with the smell of victory in the air for South. However, the boys seemed to be tiring out. The first score wasn't made until only 3 minutes and 49 seconds remained in the game. Glenbrook. feeling the pressure of defeat, was really hustling, but found the margin too wide to be closed. For the fourth time in a row, the freshmen " A " squad had come out on top, winning 62 to 38. Bob Norlander was really on throughout the whole game, pumping in 14 points along with John Angster who did a fine job.

Mr. Verber evaluated Glen-

brook by saying, "They were weak on shooting the first half.

They're not a good shooting team." The team is now undefeated in the conference and Coach Verber is pleased with the team effort. He commented, "We have improved 100 per cent since the first and second ball games. If they keep playing ball and hustling like they have been the last two games, they will take first in the conference." . . . Play New Trier Next On January 15, Maine will be playing against New Trier. The team has a very good chance to win and is trying to stress

the point of thinking positive.

Meanwhile the B team had won a very close game of 30 to 35. With just two minutes left in the fourth quarter, the score was just 33 to 30, in favor of Maine. There were a few tense seconds, but the team held while Don Gibe tossed in the last two points. The team was led by a fine ten-point effort by Mike Ebert. Granzin, Johnson, and Gibe were also among the top scorers. The B team has a 2-1 record in the conference.

The sophomores engaged in a very fast moving game. From the start, they showed the effort and drive of a winning team.

Matmen Wipe Out Titans^ Take On New Trier Next The varsity wrestlers will go into their next meet against New Trier West breathing just a little easier. The matmen trounced Glenbrook South, 36 to 9, in their last meet.

Titan grapplers were just about run out of their own fieldhouse by the Hawks. A total of five Glenbrook men were pinned

Gymnast's Victors Againsf Glenbrook A vastly improved varsity gymnastics team won their first conference meet last Friday with an impressive 72V-. to 59^2 victory over the Glenbrook North Spartons. The young Hawk squad dominated nearly every event en route to a big win which set them off in the right direction in the conference race.

Outstanding performers on the Sidehorse for the Hawks were Wally Braun with a second place, Dick Johnson with a third place, and Rick Sebolt with a fourth. On high bar South fared even better as Riis took a first place, Mermel a second place and Headly took a fifth place.

On Parallel bars Hawks Savis, Switzer and Matson placed second, third and fifth successively, and on the Rings Wronski and Bartsch came up with a fifth third and fourth place for the victors.

to the mat and four lost on points. The hapless Titans failed to pin any Hawks.

It has been a much improved Hawk team going out on the mat in the past few weeks.

Maine wrestlers made two very good showings in tournaments before the holidays, and the big win over Glenbrook South showed that this wasn't just luck.

One of the possible reasons for the sudden Hawk improvement could be the addition of a few new wrestlers in sorely needed spots. Steve Geisler has taken over the trouble-prone 103-pound class. The Glenbrook meet was the first regular meet for Steve, and he certainly met it with grace; a pin in the third period.

Another new face is Rick Neuses, at I20-pounds. Neuses has wrestled on the sophomore team so far this year, and the Glenbrook meet was his first also. Rick responded very well, coming up with a 6 to 0 victory.

Rick makes the fourth sophomore wrestler on the team, and so far this season, these sophomores have proved (invaluable to the team.

At 95-pounds, Tom Lemme came up with his first pin of the year, it coming late in the third period. Tom has improved a little with each meet, coming a long way since the beginning of the season.

realizing this have been putting out all week in practice. Although coach Brady had made no drastic changes, by the middle of the week he pointed out places where Hawk fans may see some new faces in the future.

There will probably be one position open in the back-court where Beck, McClayton and Masoncup have platooned all year.

The more experienced Beck has been the only one of the three to show any consistency even though he has been out most of the time with injuries. He is undoubtedly the Hawks most consistant outside shooter. Beck could find a new partner soon in Senior, Jim Raymond, a 5'H" guard, who has seen limited action previously. Jim could give the Hawks a little more experience and outside power since he is a fine shooter.

Just as in the backcourt, one position may be up for grabs on the front line. The Hawks have gotten very little shooting from their forwards all year and senior Jeff Reinke has shown the only consistency at t h a t spot. For the one forward position in doubt. Coach Brady is looking for a man that can shoot, even if it means sacrificing a little on defense. One man that has the potential to fill such a roll is junior Henry Perez. At 6'1" he's an ideal size and Henry has shown marked confidence in his shooting throughout the year. Henry is as good from far out as up close which is shown by the fact that

he sank three outside buckets in the closing minutes of Friday's game. . . . Meet Elk Grove Tonight With a two week break between conference games Coach Brady will be in a position to do a little experimenting tonight as the Hawks take on Elk Grove in a non-conference duel. With a height advantage the Hawks will be out to improve on their inside shooting and rejuvenate their fast break which has been held to a standstill in the last three games. Tonight Coach Brady will be looking for the combination he can go with the rest of the season and play with consistency through the rest of the conference schedule.

If the Hawks still entertain hopes of a conference championship they will have to find that winning combination by next week when they resume conference play with two games against the Niles schools.

With Niles West the only undefeated team in the conference, the Hawks can make their bid good by knocking off the Indians when they invade the Maine South spectator gym next Friday. The Hawks havn't lost a game this season on their home court and after being on the road for four games they will be happy to be playing before a partisan home crowd for a change. So far the central Suburban race has worked in the Hawks favor, as each of the teams that has defeated the Hawks have since sustained two losses.

Mermen Entering Rough Waters Tomorrow Night Tomorrow the Maine South varsity swimmers will go against the toughest competition the state of Illinois has to offer, when they travel to New Trier East for the annual Indian Relays.

New Trier, Hinsdale, and Evanston are just some of the state powers that will be present. The Hawks should go into the meet with a 4 win - 1 loss record in dual meets, because Mr. Jack Tilley, head coach of the mermen, predicts a win in the meet against the boys from Glenbrook South tonight. Out of the eight teams that will compete, Mr. Tilley said tliat even though this year's mermen are the best he has ever coached, they should only be able to come up with a fourth or fifth place finish in that kind of competition.

Last Friday's meet against Maine West marked the half way point in the varsity swimmer's regular season, which they celebrated with a 52 to 43 win. In that meet, both Frank McCullough and Ray McCullough set new pool and varsity

records, with Frank getting a time fast enough for all-American recognition in the 100-yard backstroke. Ray set a new pool record in the 200-yard individual medley, and a new varisty record in the 100-yard freestyle.

The next day, the team travelled to the Riverside-Brookfield Invitational where both Frank and Ray McCullough suffered their first defeats of the season.

The 200-yard medley relay team of Frank McCullough swimming backstroke, Tom Torgersen swimming breaststroke, Jim McCullough swimming butterfly, and Chip Ward finishing with freestyle finished second for the first time this year. Frank McCullough did get his expected first in the 100-yard backstroke, though.

Ray McCullough swam the 200-yard individual medley and won that event in one of the toughest races he has had all year long. When the 100-yard butterfly was called, Ray had had only 20 minutes rest, and was not completely recovered, but his third place finish was well deserved.
