Junior and Senior Proms Promise to be Memorable June 6 is planned as a memorable evening for seniors attending the Senior Prom. Entitled "Traces of Time," it will be held at the Orrington Hotel in Evanston. Music will be supplied by Frank Derrick's Orchestra, which also played at last year's prom. The evening will begin at 8:30. The after-prom, which had been customary, will not be a part of this year's festivities. "The after-prom is the responsibility of PTC," said Kathy GoU, prom chairman, "and they just could not rouse enough student support. Therefore, the senior class wiU sponsor a picnic in its place toward the end of the year. Tickets for the dinner will go on sale for $13 in the bookstore three weeks before the prom.
Admission for the dance is free It will also be possible to order necklaces in homeroom which will be delivered the evening oi the prom. May 17 has been designated as the night of the Junior Prom Entitled "One Brief Shining Moment" from the song "Camelot," the prom will be helc from 8 to 11 p.m. The cost of $2.50 per couple includes the price of a necklace to be delivered the night of the prom. The gym will be decorated in blue and gold by a professional decorator to look like a medie val castle. Music will be provided by the Frank Derrick Orchestra. The week preceding the prom, couples will be nomlnateid foi King and Queen.

Variety, Color Highlight Marlin Show-Tantasia' "Fantasia" this year offers the viewer a wide variety of color, music, and choreography. "Fantasia" is this year's title for the Marlin show, presented annually in the spring. Miss Dawn Butler, South physical education teacher, is the sponsor of this all-girl swim group. At the beginning of this year, Marlin Club members presented various ideas and then the entire membership voted on the nominations for the theme. "Fantasia," meaning acts based on fables, legends, fairy tales, myths, etc , was chosen. Marlin officers, Nancy Phillips, president; Mary Tracy, show chairman: and Chris Hookanson, assistant show chairman, helped Miss Butler in preparing this year's show. According to Miss Butler, "The swimming skill is better than it has ever been, this year. Choreography is also better."
Swimming in upcoming " F a n t a s i a " w i l l be: Top row — Katie Johnson, Janet Thurnell, Donna Senf, Denise Gammel, Marsha Schniedwind, Vicki Sorensen, Grace Hanger, Pam Joern, Debbie Bean. Bottom row — Kathy McLennan, Celeste Karol, Sue Wright, Bee Williams, Sue Ostrom, A l l y n Eriksen.
Student Council Lists Accomplishments After last year's campaign promises and this year's hot debates and increased student involvement. Student Council has something to show for its year of work. Led by Jim Cantonis, president, and Kathy O'Hare, secretary, Council's basic achievements have tackled the communication gap between the student body, Council, and the administration. Acceptance of a new constitution highlights four years of efforts aimed at changing the representative system. Council will now be composed of one representative per complex from each class. Council initiated the tradition of talks between Dr. Watson and
the Student Council Executive Board every month, or whenever needed. This year has also seen the first open after-school Council meetings. Months of co-ordinated planning and discussion between the administration, the Senior Class and Council paid off when the Senior Lounge became a reality. T h e student-supervised lounge opened the first day of the second semester. Student Council was host to the Central Suburban League Club Workshop held at Maine South this past year. The scoreboard for the newlycompleted football field was also a Council project. Council decided to stop the overworked homeroom charity
Afterwords
Plan Is Step Ahead A new dimension, the element of trust, has been present in the relationship between students and faculty this year. This unique confidence is evidenced by a reduced rate of vandalism and in the success of senior early dismissal and lounge privileges. Students have responded by demonstrating a sense of responsibility. As a result of this mutual trust, we feel that Maine South has been a better school. Now that warmer weather is here, we hope that an additional privilege, the opportunity to eat lunch outside, will be extended to all students. Maine East's Student Council is presently preparing a written policy to be followed in conducting a similar experiment. Our own Student Council, with the sanction of the administration, might prepare a comparable list of agreements. The enclosed area directly south of the new cafeteria is ideal for outside lunching. Students would not interfere with classes or construction. We suggest that only students who bring lunch and a beverage from home be permitted to eat outside. Trays would be cumbersome since Maine South, like Maine East, does not have outdoor table facilities. Students would be responsible for cleaning up after themselves. We would not expect the faculty to patrol the outdoor cafeteria. Student monitors could supervise clean-up operations. Repeated warnings would result in the revocation of privileges for the individual offender. Most Maine South students have proven themselves capable of handling the privileges which the administration has entrusted to them. Added responsibility would give us the chance to show our maturity. We feel that the extension of student privileges to include, on a trial basis, eating lunch outside, would further demonstrate the mutual trust between the administration and the student body.
drives and focused its energies instead on the founding of the Hull House Tutoring Program. In conjunction with South Park Church, Maine South students are working with inner-city children every week. Council stepped into the community spotlight when it became actively involved in campaigning for passage of the high school tax referendum. Council also promoted the March for the Hungry held on Good Friday. Another service project—clean-up day in Park Ridge—is yet to come. Council has also carried out its regular yearly p r o j e c t s . These include sponsoring homecoming, VShow. AFS projects, the Busy Signal, and the monitor system.
Every year, a few girls are chosen to demonstrate their special swimming skills in a solo swim, done to music of their own choice. Three girls will present special numbers this year. First is Nancy Phillips '69. She will swim to "Sounds of Silence" in which she will represent Diana, the Goddess of the Night. Debbie Devaney '70 will portray Schrazade from the Arabian Nights while she swims to the sounds of "Stranger in Paradise." The final solo will be presented by Gail Hoffman '70. Gail represents the legend of an Indian princess to the song "In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida." Other musical selections to be used in "Fantasia" include: "Impossible Dream." to be performed by a special stroking group; "Aquarius," which is a quintet act; "Sleeping Beauty," a floating group; "March of the Toy Soldiers." which is another group act; and "Bonnie and Clyde," a boy-girl duet. This year's show also offers three duets. Mary Jane Hanke '70 and Julie Fleetwood '70 will swim to 'I'd Do Anything For You," in which they represent Raggedy Ann and Raggedy Andy. Debbie Graham '70 and
Janet Engelen '70 will portray mermaids to "Beyond the Sea." "Ship of Fools," another musical swim number in the show, is the title of the act representing the Roman god, Janus. Swimming in this act will be Chris Hookanson '70 and Gale Roth '70. Tickets for all performances are available in the Bookstore or from Marlin members for SI.25. Performances will be on May 8, 9, 10, and 11. Thursday, Friday, and Saturday performances will be presented for viewing at 8 p.m. Sunday afternoon's performance will be presented at 2 p.m. Many new facets of special effects will be employed this year to make the show even more colorful and exciting. For example, a black light will be used, along with other special colored lighting effects. More elaborate costuming will also be used this year to present an even more colorful show. Every year, one act is performed totally outside of the water. This year, a special dance act, lead by Nina Musso '69, will be performed to a special musical arrangement. Guest swimmers include: Bill Malik '70, Steve Seaboldt '70, Mike Devaney '70, John Gesme '69, Barry Markus '70, and John Alberts '69. "The show should be very colorful this year. There is more of a variety of acts and music than ever before," stated Miss Butler. Other numbers to be performed are "Odd Couple," a frog act: and the traditional "Battle Hymn of the Republic" act. Most of the costumes are new this year. The screens, also, are all newly-repainted. It is from behind these screens that the girls enter the pool area for their acts. One of the highlights of the show appears during the frogact. In this act, the twelve girls do a pool-length dolphin chain. All of the "animal-representing" costumes are realistic. This two-hour swim show offers a different sort of entertainment here at Maine South.
Clubs To Participate In Various Upcoming Events Boys' Club, with the Brotherhood Society, is planning the Care Drive; Girls' Club is putting finishing touches on plans for the Senior Mother-Daughter Dessert; Key Club has elected their new officers. The Care Drive wiU be sponsored the week of April 28. The first hundred dollars that is collected will go from the Brotherhood Society directly to Biafra. The remainder of the funds will
be sent to Care by Boys' Club, to be distributed by that organization. "Roses and Lollipops" is the theme of the Senior MotherDaughter Dessert scheduled for May 6. The evening will begin at 7:30 in the cafeteria. Dessert will be followed by entertainment in the auditorium, presented by the senior girls. Tickets go on sale April 30 for $1.50 in the cafeteria during lunch
[>eriods. On March 26, Key Club elected a new slate of officers, all of ihc class of '71. President-elect is Lindy Frakes. Functioning as vice-presidents next year will be Bill Dunn and Jay Hirsh. Dennis Hicks and Tom Mattick will serve as secretary and treasurer, respectively. The new officers will be inducted at the Key Club Banquet on May 14.

Seniors Make Tour of Illinois State Capital On the morning of April 23, 76 seniors from Maine South began their day-long journey to Springfield, Illinois. Two chartered buses left South's auditorium entrance at 6:30 a.m. At 10:00 a.m. the students, arriving at the Capitol, were greeted by their state representative
Robert Juckett. The House was not in session at the moment so Representative Juckett suggested a tour of the building, followed by a view of the House when they convened at 1:30. The tour included a visit to a House committee meeting debating an issue concerning driv-
May 9 Concert Appeals To Variety of All Ages Are your Friday nights dull and monotonous? Well, the Maine South Music Department invites you to a choral concert on May 9. The Concert Choir, Girls' Treble Choir and The Girls Glee will be performing in the concert. "Music will suit a variety of tastes . . . everything from Bach to Broadway," stated Mr. Irwin Bell. The Girls' Glee is scheduled to begin the concert with several classical selections, followed by the show tunes "April Love" and "Chim Chim Cheree." The Concert Choir will sing a group of sacred compositions after the Glee. One selection, "Lost in the Night", will feature soprano Marti Olsen. Members of the Girls' Treble Choir will perform a medley of well known Broadway songs. Their part in the concert is entitled "Serenade to Spring."
The Concert Choir wiU end the evening with a variety of tunes. They will open with "The Echo Song " by di Lasso. The selection will feature a quartet consisting of Sue Chastain, Elaine Alzos, John Sagat. and John Ongman. Following this will be the folk song "Weep, O Willow." The selection will feature a solo by Michelle Lazowski. For the finale, the choir will be singing a medley of songs from the Broadway musical, Man of La Mancha, including "The Impossible Dream." The Girls' Glee and Treble Choir will be directed by Mr. Walter Flechsig. The Glee will be accompanied by Nancy Benjamin, while the Treble Choir's accompanist will be Sue Young. The Concert Choir will be directed by Mr. Irwin Bell and accompanied by Craig Jamriska and Beth Onderdonk.
er's education at the high school level. The graduating students also toured the senate and Governor Ogilvie's and Secretary of State Paul Powell's offices. Two paintings, dating back to the 19th century, one depicting the Lincoln-Douglas debates and one an historic treaty vrith the Indians, were also pointed out. Returning to the Capitol at 1:00, the group was met in the lobby by Mr. Juckett who escorted them to the House chambers. At 1:30, the House assembled, a choir from Southern Illinois University entertained the Representatives and visitors (an innovation in the chambers), a prayer was said and work begun Luckily, the students were given gallery seats directly above and behind the Speaker's platform and were able to view the legislators as they spoke. One of the more interesting bills spoken of could possibly affect these 1969 June grads next fall. This bill, introduced while the students looked on, suggested taking away any Illinois scholarship money from any student convicted of committing a crime during a university or college protest. Pro and con debate lasted at least an hour and as one senior commented, "It was really interesting. I never realized before how much the work here can affect our lives, too." As the bill passed in the House by a large majority, another student commented.
Maine South Mailbox: An Asset OR A Tell'Tale Tattler to Parents? "Neither rain nor hail nor sleet nor snow will keep the mail from being delivered!" This quote can be applied to Maine South's own red and blue Mailbox situated in front of the Personnel Office. Four sturdy legs hold it in position along side a center's door. The red mouth receives the student's patronage yearround. But the Mailbox is not only used by students; but also teachers, custodians, and a hurried parent or two. The Mailbox leads quite a busy life. Students frequently can be seen hurrying to drop a letter in and dropping all their books in the process, between the six-minute warning bells. Often letters go through three or four different people before they are officially sent off. Cries of "Is anyone going near the Mailbox?" can often be heard in the halls or at the end of class. Many times has the red and blue figure carried love letters to someone dear. It has also carried bills to demanding creditors, report cards home to unsuspecting parents, and coy little hello cards to puzzled boys. The Mailbox has played a large role in helping settle disputes with 'dear' ones who are
far away. The easy accessibility of the Box lends itself to sending the letter off before you have a chance to think twice about it. This can be a good or bad feature; it all depends upon the situation. Students who consistantly receive progress reports, library misconduct reports, and things of this nature; naturally wish the Mailbox was located a little farther away. But with all accounted for the
The Maine South mailbox.
Mill Run Playhouse To Present Show For AFS "The Student Prince," a nostalgic masterpiece by Sigmund Romberg, will be presented May 16 at the Mill Run Playhouse. The American Field Service Committee is now selling tickets for the May 16 performance. Profits will be used to supplement the money raised during AFS week to support a student from abroad next year. Written in 1924, "The Student Prince" portrays the life of young prince Karl Franz. The young prince of Germany while in Heidelberg with his tutor, falls in love with a waitress
named Kathie. Despite their feelings, however, the romance is doomed when the prince has to return to ascend the throne. Two years later, Karl returns to Heidelberg to bid a final farewell to Kathie before he marries his intended. Princess Margaret. "The Student Prince" played to capacity house for two years, with nine acting companies touring the country. This piece is the best of Romberg's operettas, also his longest running work. The motion picture of "The Student Prince" was made in 1954.
Mailbox is a valuable asset to the school. Students late for class can always exclaim: "But there was such a crowd at the Mailbox . . . "
"Before this, I felt sort of isolated, like all these bills mainly dealt with the adult world. This trip has really proved to me that I also have a part in the government." House bill number 71 must stiU pass the Senate and receive the Governor's signature before it becomes law. The trip concluded with a visit to Abraham Lincoln's home and tomb. At approximately 9:45, the group arrived at Maine South, ending the '69 Springfield
excursion. Another student stated, "This was an enjoyable as well as educational trip—and it's often hard to find both qualities in one thing." "Because of the response to the annual Springfield t r i p " explained Mr. Otto Kohler, social science department chairman, "we would like to offer more seniors the opportunity to see Springfield. Beginning next year, a Springfield trip will be scheduled for the fall as well as the Spring."
Advanced Placement Examination To Be Given AP Classes Soon Two weeks from now the advanced placement exams will be given to all Juniors and Seniors currently enrolled in advanced placement courses. Five Advanced Placement courses are offered at Maine South this year: English, European history, biology, and chemistry for Seniors; and United States history for Juniors. Advanced placement classes are courses intended to be on the same level as actual college courses. The work and reading in Advanced Placement is similar to college work. Advanced placement courses are given extra credit as are accelerated classes, but are actually on a level above accelerated courses. The Advanced Placement test itself is a standardized test given to all students enrolled in advanced placement c o u r s e s . These tests will be administered nationally during the same period. The English and history tests will consist of an objective and essay portion. The essay tests will be graded during the summer by high school and col-
lege teachers. Results will be available early next fall. Both objective and essay portions of the test bear approximately equal weight in the final grade given. The tests are graded on a point basis ranging from one to five. Many colleges and universities in the country will accept credit for the course taken if the student scores well on the test. This enables a student not to have to take all the courses he normally would in college, although some schools do not recognize advanced placement credit.
Outdoor Concert Coming to South A concert will be given by the stage and concert bands on May 16 at 7:30 p.m. It will be held outdoors by the pond if the weather is good. Otherwise, it will be held in the auditorium. "This is the beginning of our outdoor band concerts that are held in the area of the flagpole," Mr. Gordon McLean, band director explained.
Language W Students Honored On May 14, there will be an Awards' Night in order to give recognition to the best students in the Language Department. "Generally speaking," said Miss Marion Fisher, Language Department Chairman, "the awards are given to A students." The decision, however, is left up to the teachers. "So many awards are distributed in athletics, that we feel students who excel in other areas should also be recognized," Miss Fisher added. The parents of each student are invited to the Awards' Night, when the student will receive certificates of honor. There the students will be awarded personally by the individual instructors. There will be three parts to the program. A group discussion, formed by two foreign exchange students will discuss the customs in their countries and the United States. Next there will be two students from Chile. The final part will be the presentations of awards, followed by a reception. Piano selections by Spanish composers will be played by Marian Saguna.

Trackmen Run Off W i t h Viking, Spartan Relay Championships With two invitational championships under their belts, Hawk cindermen will participate in their third invitational in as many weekends tonight in the Maine East Relays. South will be up against two of the toughest track squads in this area in Evanston and Maine East. Maine's streak began two weeks ago when they took home the first place trophy from the Vikings Relays at Niles North. The Hawks piled up 79V^ points to come in ahead of host school Niles North, who had 64. Last Friday, South successfully defended their Spartan Relays title, scoring 82 points to 64 for Marshall of Chicago, the closest rival in the 12 team field. The Hawks were paced in both meets by their hurdlers, who won all of the shuttle relays in the two meets. Dave Fowler, Tom Dunn, Bob Spicer, and Jim Benda set a meet record of 1:05.2 in the high hurdles shuttles of the Vikings relays, while the low hurdle shuttle team of Fowler, Al Burgess, Spicer, and
Soph Fleetfeet Split Triangular In their latest meet, Maine South's frosh-soph track team finished second in a triangular against Deerfield and Glenbrook South. Glenbrook scored 87 points to take the meet, while the little Hawks totaled 71 and Deerfield finished last with 66. Maine took six out of 15 firsts in the meet. Mike Mountain, in the first event, won the two mile run in a 10:48.2 time, while John Dombrowski's 11.0 time won the 100 yd. dash. Kelley Murphy set a sophomore track record in the 880 yd. run at 2:09.8, and Jerry Garrett took the mile run in 1:58.3. In the field events. Bill Wedderspoon won the high jump with a 5*2" height, and Jim Staunton took first in the discus wiUi a throw of 120'4 ". Next Tuesday, the l i t t l e Hawks will run two more conference rivals, Niles North and Glenbrook North, at N i l e s North.
Benda likewise shattered the meet record with a 1:25.3 effort. The same high hurdle crew later won the shuttle at the Spartan Relays, while the low hurdle team broke a four-year-old record with a 1:24.6 timing. In both meets, however, Coach Ed Smith could not commend the team effort enough. Fine individual performances in both meets were abundant on the part of the Hawks. With a 50.2 quarter mile split, Jim Benda anchored the mile relay team to a second place finish. The Hawk 440 yd. relay team. Burgess, Spicer, Nick Lyons, and Ralph Murdy placed third, while the 880 relay team, Jim Doubler, Steve Dom aratius, Lyons, and Murdy, and the two mile relay team. Bob Cesario, Dave Bauman, Tom Udischas, and Mike Murzyn, both placed fourth. Dave Buti and Ty Sigmund each captured individual firsts in the field events, as Dave set a meet, track, and career record in the shot put with a throw of 55'1", and Ty won the discus with a 155' throw, six inches ahead of Butz, who was second. In other individual events, Jim Walley and Jim Cole were third and fourth, respectively, in the two mile run, John Zipparro was fifth in the mile run, Glenn Hofeldt and Ted Berg were third

Diamondmen Bounce Back At about this time last week, it appeared that the Hawk baseball nine would stumble their way to another unimpressive conference season. Without any real spectacular hitting or pitching. South lost their first two conference games to Glenbrook North and Maine West. However, the Hawks snapped out of their lethargic state last F'riday with a win over Niles North, and then won the next three successive contests this week against New Trier West, Deerfield, and Maine West. The Glenbrook game a week ago last Monday was the conference opener for the Hawks. Although South was ahead 4-2 going into the sixth inning, a series of Hawk errors helped Glenbrook push six runs across in the last two innings. It was the same story the next day when the Hawks lost a 3-2 lead to Maine West, who won 4 to 3 with a two-run rally in the top of the seventh inning.

With Barr being on the sophomore team this season, they have had little opportunity to play together. Nevertheless, they have a good chance this weekend.

In their opening game they beat Forest View 6-3, They won a second game against East Leydon 5-1. and continued to win by beating Glenbard West 13-4, Maine East 2-0, Glenbrook North 11-3, and ended their winning streak of 5 games by losing to Maine West 4-1, According to Coach Verber, his team is slightly weakened by errors.

Golfers Wmless in CSL Tomorrow, the Maine South varsity golfers will take to the links in the Wheeling invitational at Chevy Chase, They enter the meet with a somewhat embarrassing record of no wins and three losses all at the hands of Central Suburban Conference teams. After the weatherman forced cancellations of meets with Fremd, Elgin and New Trier West, the Hawks finally got their first taste of competition against arch-rival Maine West. As expected, the Hawks lost the meet by a full 7 strokes, the final tally being 165 for the Warriors and 172 for Maine South. Also expected was the fact that Jeff "Thompson turned in the best Hawk performance, shooting an even 40 for the 9 holes. More recently the Hawks faced Deerfield in a meet which turned out to be an even greater disaster than before. This time they lost by 14 strokes, doubling the previous margin. The four counting
scores for each team totaled 166 for Deerfield to Maine South's 180. Mike Bower and Jeff Thompson scored best for the Hawks, shooting 41 and 42, respectively. No doubt, it was the result of this meet which prompted Coach Lou Gartner to bring sophomores Joe Comyn and J i m Anderson up to the varsity level. "Both of these boys, as well as the entire frosh-soph team, have performed well thus far," c o m m e n t e d Mr. Gartner. "These two have averaged between 42 and 43 per meet, which is better than all the boys on the varsity except Thompson." Both of the newcomers saw action in the Tuesday meet against Glenbrook Soutii. Both shot close to their averages but the Hawks still went down to defeat by the score of 154 to 172. Jeff Thompson's 40 was again the best for Maine South. Yesterday, the Hawks faced Niles North, but the results were not in before press time.
