Seniors Thank Faculty, Administration To the Editor: In these critical times, when youths are finding faults with their schools, we, the undersigned seniors, would like to say "Thank you" to Maine South for four years of memorable experiences. We can remember the first day when we entered to buy our books. We went into the huge spectator gym and waited in line for more than an hour. We finally left, minus forty dollars but with a four-foot stack of brand-new books, completely unintelligible. Our first day was beyond realization. The halls seemed unbelievably, crowded, until we found that it was only Fresh-
man Day, and three-fourths of the school population was yet to come. After we became accustomed to our new surroundings, we began to take an active part in the extra-curricular activities and decided which clubs to join. Our first homecoming was quite sucessful, except for the fact that the hawk's head on our float came apart. Later with great respect, we watched the float burn to ashes. Homework became a g r e a t problem, and we soon learned to work hard during our studying time and to enjoy what little free time we had on weekends. The year went quickly, and, before we knew it, bal-
Afterwords
Mature Level Achieved Congratulations to the student body and administration of Maine South for achieving an atmosphere of scholastic maturity rare to American schools today. Now that summer is here, teachers and students can relax from classes, studies, and activities. Someday we will fully realize how much we have gained from our experiences here. Concerts, contests, publications, seminars, workshops; all school related activities have contributed to our growth; to the development of the "American teenager." Admittedly, not every goal set last September has been achieved, but we subscribe to the old adage that "it is better to have tried and failed than never to have tried at all." The editors of Southwords commend Student Council for achieving student involvement through volunteer efforts. It takes more time and effort for a person to participate in a clean-up drive or a tutoring project than it does to pitch a dime into a cardboard box. Senior class officers have mapped out programs for the senior lounge and outside lounge privileges. Hopefully the results of their efforts will pioneer the way for the extension of additional honors to responsible high school students. Our differences with the administration have been handled in a mature manner. We have avoided open dissension of the type that split Maine East students, faculty, and parents over a dress code. This year no ridiculous boycott in protest of the deans was held. Extreme measures were not deemed necessary. Respect and trust have been present. In assessing the year we commend both the administration for granting increased privileges to the students and students for responsibly accepting those privileges. As a result of respect between students and the administration, we are better prepared to answer the question "Who am I ? " We are young adults.
lots were being handed out. Following a vigorous campaign by three juniors running for the presidency of Student Council, we were to vote for the candidate most qualified. The highlight of our freshman year was, of course, going to Peoria for the State Baseball Tournament. We didn't win, but we were fUled with pride for our school when we saw the thirty-four buses jam around the school—and, after all, we did miss two days of school. Sophomore year was definitely more settled. We became more interested and more involved in school activities. Plays like the Sound of Music and Inherit the Wind dominated the Maine South stage. Taking the required biology course led to many interesting experiences, like injecting chickens, dissecting frogs, and watching tadpoles grow. Biology, sophomore year, led to chemistry, junior year, where we found ourselves creating homemade volcanoes. Another favorite class in our junior year was driver's education, where we learned the fundamentals of race-car driving, to be used later, in our senior year. It was also the first year of varsity competition in sports for many of us. This competition proved worthwhile, as our basketball, football and gymnastics teams compiled a total record of fortynine wins and two losses! It
was also an active year with IHosic Man and the Student Council elections that were to determine the leaders of our senior class. We finally came to the greatest year of all. The first day back, many of us were already .saying. "I've already got senioritis" or "only one hundred and eighty-nine days left." It was now time for us to choose the colleges we would be attending the next year. If you underclassmen think it is hard doing homework, just wait untU you try to get accepted at a college. This, our senior year, was a year for leadership, and. although we may not have done a flawless job, (It was the first year that the senior class float didn't win J we feel that we are now better prepared for the future. Last Friday was the senior prom, an unforgetable night, Sunday was baccalaureate, and Wednesday will be graduation, the finale to our four years. We would now like to summarize these four j'cars at Maine South by saying t h a t they haven't always been fun, but we feel that we have greatly benefited from our experiences throughout the past four years. So. speaking on behalf of the entire senior class, we would Uke to thank the administration, faculty, and all of those people involved in these four years of our lives, for mak-
ing them as beneficial and memorable as possible. "Thank you I'' Jim Mieszala AlljTi Eriksen Bill Silberman Linna Ramlow Doug Sarcia Nancy Phillips Sue Hendricks Judy Harlan
Library Group Sets Changes During the past year a new organization within the school, the Library Advisory Committee, has been studying new ideas and possibilities in the operation of the library. The committee is comprised of Jon Welzenbach, Doris Russell, Mr. Pool, Mr. Young, Mr. Elbert Smith, Mr. Allison, Miss 'Vates. and Mr. Little. Next year, through the efforts of this committee, students who have a cumulative grade of 3point or better, and who have not permanently lost their regular library privileges will be eligible to request an honor student library card that will be marked for additional free periods. All the rules and regulations will pertain to students using the honor cards, and one instance of rule infringement will result in the loss of the special privilege card.
Howard Wins National Merit Scholarship Howard Keenan '69 is the winner of the $l-thousand National Merit Scholarship sponsored by the National Merit Foundation. This scholarship allows Howard to go to the college of his choice. Howard has decided to study at Notre Dame University in Notre Dame, Indiana. To qualify for the National Merit Scholarship, Howard was required to take an exam. The score of that test plus those of his SAT tests (over 700) combined to win for him the $l-thousand scholarship which Howard will use to study premedicine at Notre Dame. At Maine South, Howard was
Former S. Graduate Speaks Out Hillary Rodham, a graduate of Maine South, recently made the front page of the Chicago newspapers when she became deeply involved in her commencement exercises at Wellsly College in Massachusetts. Hillary, who is an honor student and also president of the Wellesley student government, was a scheduled speaker at the ceremony. It was the first time, in the history of the school, that a student had been allowed to speak at graduation exercises. Senator Edward W, Brooke, a
Republican senator from Massachusetts, was speaking to the 6,000 attending the ceremony. According to Hillary, "He wasn't talking about any of the things Wellesley's graduating class had been thinking about for four years." When it came Hillary's turn to address the group, she engaged the senator in an impromptu debate. " S e n a t o r Brooke's speech is similar to a lot of rhetoric we've been hearing for years," Hillary charged. "We have seen very little action
coming out of rhetoric, and the entire tone of Senator Brooke's speech is one that we find to be very discouraging."
Her speech was soon finished, and Hillary's days at Wellesley ended with her statement. "Be
realistic. Demand the impossible." She was greeted with a standing ovation by both students and faculty at the conelusion of her speech. Applause lasted for more than seven minutes. This summer, Hillary plans an Alaskan trip. "I want to find what it is that we all seem to have lost such a long time ago. Maybe it's still up there with all those grizzly bears, and maybe I'll be able to find it." Next year, she plans to attend Yale Law School.

SOUTHWORDS
June 9, 1969
Southwords Chooses Senior M V P Athletes Dave Larsen Over the past three years, fine halfbacks have been the trademark of Hawk football teams, and this year's undefeated eleven was no exception. Therefore, Dave Larsen is Southword's choice for top senior in football. A two year veteran on consecutive undefeated teams, Dave played in the shadow of Hawk great Tom Spotts last year, but still managed to score two touchdowns. This year, Dave totaled eight scores, even though an injury made him miss the Niles North game. Utilizing a fine offensive line, Dave was the standout on sweeps whenever it was needed, Dave had the power to plow up the middle. All in all, in 180 rushing attempts, Dave picked up 830 yards for an average of 4.63 per carry. He also even picked up 92 yards with five passes.
Dare Butz Dave Butz, who completed a four-year varsity career a n d established a multitude of scoring records, is Southword's choice for basketball's most valuable senior athlete. Basketball, however, was just one of three sports in which Big Dave made a name for himself; he was cited as All-American in football in a national magazine, and was state discus champ in his junior year in track. It can be safely assumed that Maine South will never have such an all-arotmd athlete of Dave's stature for quite some lime. After playing on the JV level for the first part of the season, Dave began his varsity basketball in the second half of his freshman season, and scored 10 points in limited^action. In his sophomore year, however, he broke into the starting lineup in the season, and racked up a total of 191 points. Since then, he has been the starting center for two years on teams that had a combined record of 42 wins and 8 losses. In each season, he was the team's leading scorer and rebounder, as well as the second highest scorer in the Central Suburban League. Dave's career scoring total came to 1,060 points. Also a three-year letterman in
football, Dave was an all-state selection the last two years. In track, in which he lettered his freshman year, he was the CSL shot put champ and runnerup in the discus in the recent conference meet.
Ty Sigmund Ty Sigmund, noted by Southwords as the most valuable wrestler, has also been a key man to both the football and track teams. Ty accumulated a spectacular wrestling record of 23-3 at the heavyweight position this season, a position which he has held for the past three years. Beside his MVP honor this season and captain selection last season, Ty has been all-conference both years. He finished third in the sectional tournament, and many felt that he should have gone down-state. In track, Ty teamed with Dave Butz to provide a formidable combination in the discus and shot events. He won the Central Suburban discus title as part of a tremendous team effort by the entire track team two weeks ago as they took the conference title. In state competition, he and Dave Butz finished one-two in gaining the two qualifying discus positions for their district meet. Ty finished a respectable fifth in the conference shot event. In football, in which he received both MVP and co-captain honors, Ty performed outstandingly for three seasons on teams that have accumulated almost 20 consecutive victories. He performed at the demanding positions of guard and tackle on both offense and defense, and gave out the bulk of the punishment to whoever ran away from Dave Butz.
Jim was the conference champ in the high hudles in the indoor meet. His school record time of 6.3 in the 50 yd. highs in the Blue Demon Relays, though, was one of the most memorable moments of the season for the track team. Intermittent injuries prevented Jim from having an even better outdoor season. These injuries forced him to miss four meets, but he still managed to take a second in the low hurdles in the outdoor conference meet. Jim anchored four hurdle shuttle teams to first place finishes in both the Viking and Spartan Relays, which the Hawks won, and clinched South's win in the Spartans by running an anchor leg of the sprint medley team to the point of collapse.
Curt Cade Curt Cade, elected as the baseball team's most valuable player by his teammates, is also Southwords choice as the outstanding senior in baseball this year. In his first year as a varsity regular, Curt lead the team in most of the major batting statistics. Curt usually patrolled right field for the Hawks. In the 20 games in which he played this season, he lead the team in hitting with a .327 average. Curt also belted two homers, which was tops for the team. He accounted for 14 runs batted in on 16 hits. He also scored 13 runs himself. Curl's finest performance this season was perhaps the second game against Deerfield. He lead separate rallies when he walloped a two-run homer to straightaway center on the South diamond in one inning, and then tripled in two more runs in his next at bat.
he was out for cross country. In fact, the first distance running that he did was in his junior year on the track team when he lettered as a miler. John finished as the second man in eight meets this year in cross country. In the final home meet of the season John finished just 17 seconds off the course record set by Jim Cole against Niles North. This spring in track, John has once again assumed mile chores on the track team, and took a third place finish in the indoor conference meet.
Neil Hagen In a year when practically everyone on the Hawk gymnastics team looked like Olympic gold medalists, Neil Hagen is our pick for Maine South's finest senior gymnast. In almost every meet this year, on his specialty, the parallel bars, Neil scored over seven points, which is truly outstanding. In fact, Neil often broke the eight-point barrier, a phemonenal achievement for any high school G-man. In addition, Neil's excellent work on the still rings helped to take up much of the slack on that apparatus left by last year's graduation. Neil was also one of the two Hawks who performed well under the pressures of state competition. He took his P-bars routine into the finals and finished in the top ten.
John Alberts
Despite this, John was able to finish second most of the time in his two events out of foiu- contestants. These four swimmers include two from each participating school. In the state district meet, he was able to do especially well by finishing sixth in the 400 yard event.
Fred Henshaw Fred Henshaw, selected as senior MVP for both tennis and fencing, has shown consistent play in both sports through his high school career. In tennis, Fred was singles conference champion his sophomore year and was selected as MVP. This year ho had an overall 10-5 record at second singles and received the fourth seed, and went all the way to the semi-finals before losing to the runners-up. Henshaw, while playing on the_ A-strip on the fencing squad,' has showed excellent play for the previous two years by reaching the State quarter finals in both his junior and senior years. His overall record this year was 30-12, with no separate conference season being played. Fred's competitiveness, as well as his ability, brought him captain honors for his final two years. This year's fencing team, coached by Miss Karen Kenyon, had an excellent year in finishing third in the state.
Jeff Thomson Selected Most Valauble Player by his teammates, Jeff Thomson is Southwords' choice for Maine South's outstanding golfer of 1969. This designation is certainly one which Coach Lou Gartner would agree with. He called Jeff "Maine South's number one golfer" even before the season began, and since then, Jeff has given him no reason to change his mind. Jeff's greatest strength is his consistency, an important characteristic of any successful golfer. Although bad weather eliminated Jeff from state competition early, his scores for all other meets either topped those of his teammates, or followed a close second. Without a doubt, Jeff's performance has earned him the title of Most Valuable Golfer.
During a season marked by fine individual performances and a conference championship, one member of the track team stood out among the others as the most valuable—Jim Benda. Jim's list of accomplishments begin with his total of 204 points scored this season, by far a school record. While he was South's top hurdler, Jim would perform in any event where it was necessary—once Jim even placed in the shot put. This year, his third on varsity.
During a season dominated by junior runners, John Zipparo emerged as the top senior on this year's cross country team, and is Southword's croice as most valuable senior. A newcomer to the sport, John was one of the biggest success stories on the team which finished second in the CSL. He usually scored as South's second or third man, a remarkable performance for the first year that
In a swimming season that could not be termed overly successful, John Alberts was able to perform consistently well to win the senior, as well as overall team, most valuable player honors. In addition, John won co-captain honors this season with Bill Kleich. His two individual races were the 200 and 400 yard events. His best times for these two evnts were, respectively, 2:04 and 4:28. The swim team received a big setback -this season when Ray McCullough chose to attend New Trier East and other key swimmers decided not to participate this year. Because of these instances, the team spirit was difficult to maintain throughout the season.

Trackmen Take Conference Crown Claiming five individual championships. Coach Ed Smith's Maine South trackmen claimed the first outdoor conference championship in the school's history at the conference meet at Maine West May 23. The Hawks jumped off to an early lead in the two mile run and maintained a slim lead over two close contenders with their new-found strength in the field events. South totaled 52 points to come in ahead of Niles North, the indoor conference champs, who had 48'/'ii. Maine West was third with 44'/j, while defending outdoor champ Deerfield and the other four teams finished 20 points or more behind. Jim Cole claimed the first individual title when he look the two mile run with a school and conference record time of 9:46.7. Jim opened a large lead after the mile mark and was never caught. Jim Walley also ran the best time of his life in this event, a 10:09.6, good enough for a fifth place. Soph Ted Berg then won the first field event to be completed, the long jump, with a career best leap of 20'7". Paul Johnson, another sophomore, gave the Hawks another boost when he placed in a tie for second in the high jump, an event in which South failed to score in the indoor meet. Mike Polachek tied for fourth in the pole vault, another event in which South failed to score in the indoor meet, with a season best height of 12'. Finally, the powerful Hawk weight crew accounted for 17 points, as Dave Butz won the
shot put with a 53'5ÂŤ4" throw and Ty Sigmund was fifth. Sigmund won the discus with a throw of 163'1", while Butz was second at 157'10". The Hawks suffered a disappointment in the high hurdles when Jim Benda failed to place. However, Ralph Murdy made up for it in part when he placed third in the 100 yd. dash in the midst of strong New Trier and Niles North sprinters. Ralphs time of 10.3 was a season mark for the team. Mike Strelka, after missing the entire indoor season with an injury, ran a career best of 2:01.8 to account for a fifth in the 880 yd. run and another point. South's 880-yd. relay team, Al Burgess. Nick Lyons, Steve Domaratius, and Ralph Murdy, accounted for another third with a time of 1:33.2. Benda came back in the low hurdles to take a second with a 21.1 time. At this point, with all the field events in, the Hawks held a narrow 46-36'-j-32'-.i lead over Maine West and N i l e s North, with three events left. South needed a place over Maine West in the mile run in order to stay in the lead. Responding to this challenge was Mike Murzyn, who ran a blistering time of 4:29.8 to win the event. The six points also clinched the meet for the Hawks. Going into the half mile mark of the race, though, it looked bad for South, as Murzyn was last in the heat. Mike moved into fourth at the final lap, and then with a tremendous sprint, passed up the favorites for the first.
Netmen Finish Fourth The Maine South tennis squad finished fourth in their conference season recently, due to a rather poor showing in the final conference meet. Going into the meet, Niles North was leading Maine by one point, 19-18. With Niles North having a good day on the courts as opposed to South, they were able to maintain their third place standing at the end of the day. The week before the final meet, the netmen went against Niles West and Niles North. At Niles West, the last duel meet of the season, Maine came off with a 5-0 shutout. This had been preceded the week before by a 2-3 loss to Niles North, with Littell and Lauterbach winning at first and third singles. North was especially out to get South this year after Maine had totally eliminated them in district play. The Hawks were able to win two points in the conference meet at first singles and second doubles. At second doubles, Bruce Gjertsen and Tom Pomorski were able to beat their Glenbrook South opponents by a good margin to get our first point, but failed in a close attempt to gain the finals. In their final match of the season, against Deerfield, Bruce and Tom lost in a close three-set match. Dave Littell was able to capture the other point by beating his Glenbrook North man, and then lost to highly ranked Blair Neller of Deerfield. Littell was able to press Neller in two very close
,
After the season had ended, sophomore Dave Littell was voted most valuable player, and senior Fred Henshaw was named honorary captain. Henshaw had perhaps the toughest luck in the conference meet when he lost to his first round opponent after leading 5-2 in the first set and 5-0 in the second. The final scores of thematch were 7-5, 8-6, Larry Barr was elected
lK>th captain and most valuable player on the sophomore level after he had taken the sophomore singles title. With four returning lettermen next season, Maine will probably be able to improve on their fourth place finish; at least, that is what Coach Kent is hoping for.
Mike's time also broke a three year old school record of 4:33 set by Rich Syversen in 1966. With the meet wrapped up, the Hawks didn't place in the 220 yd. dash and mile relay. Earlier that week, the Hawks brought their regular season record to a 5 win and 2 loss mark when they swept a triangular meet with Niles West and New Trier West. South scored 89 points to 83 for Niles and 51 for New Trier. Cole and Murzyn won their respective events, the two mile and mile runs, to account for the only Hawk firsts in track events. However, Maine took nine out of the ten firsts and seconds in the field events to edge Niles. Butz won both the shot put and discus, while Sigmund finished second in both events.
Diamondmen End Season Maine South's baseball squad ended a relatively disappointing season two weeks ago with a 6 to 5 loss to eventual conference champ Niles West. This brought the Hawks' Central Suburban League record to 7 wins, 6 losses, and one tie, good enough for a third place finish. Long streaks characterized this year's team, as they got off to a poor start with a fourgame losing streak early in the season. However, Maine put together a string of brilliant ballplaying and won seven straight CSL contests. Niles West and Glenbrook North put an end to that streak, and after South's heartbreaking loss to Maine East in the district finals, the Hawks never fully recoverd. Immediately after that, a dispirited Maine team was shellacked 10 to 1 by New Trier West, a team they had easily handled in their first encounter. Larry Teschner and Greg Bechtold were racked for a total of 9 hits, while the Hawks only managed 5. The Hawks scored their only run in the sixth inning w h e n
Golfers Fifth in CSL Meet The Maine South varsity golf team finished its season with the dubious distinction of being the only Hawk squad this year that ended up without a win to its credit. But before you condemn the team, consider first the conditions under which the team played this year. Al the outset of the season, coach Lou Gartner pointed out that this would be a rebuilding year for the golf team. The only trouble was that while the Hawks were rebuilding, most of the other schools in the Central Suburban Conference were assembling some of the strongest teams they'd had in years. Indeed, this year's CSL was one of the strongest conferences in the state. By looking at the scores of all of this year's meets, you can see that this team had potential. The only trouble was, it was potential brought out only under extreme pressure. For example, the Hawks, a winless team in dual and invitational meets, finished second in d i s t r i c t competition. Tom Grainger scored well enough to go downstate before bowing out after playing on, what he termed, "the toughest course I've ever played." The scores also show h o w much the team improved over the season. In the final meet of the year, the Conference meet, Maine
Along w i t h the conference championship, the Hawk track team claimed five individual championships: M i k e Murzyn in the m i l e , Ted Berg in the long j u m p , Ty Sigmund in the discus, and J i m Cole in the two mile. Not pictured is Dave Butz, who won the shot put.
South finished a strong fifth, just missing fourth place Deerfield by 2 strokes, a team which had earlier trounced the Hawks by a full 14 strokes in a dual meet. Also in this meet, junior Bob Katz, who hadn't had a counting score all year for the varsity, finally lived up to his preseason promise by shooting an even 80 for the 18 holes, tops for the Hawks in the meet. How successful has the rebuilding been this year? Well, next year's outlook is very prom ising. Even though Jeff Thompson leaves through graduation, Grainger, Katz, Joe Comyn and Jim Anderson will all return next season to comprise the nucleus of a strong and experienced golf team.
Athlete of Year A r t h u r Sigmund
Pete Dumich and Mike Nevins singled. Dumich then scored when Dan Calamari reached base on an error by the second baseman. After that game, though, Maine plunged to their nadir when they failed to even get a hit in a game that ended in a 0-0 tie with winless Niles North. Two weeks ago against Niles, Coach Van Proyan used the reserves, since nothing was at slake. The scrubs did remarkably well against a team which had reached the supersectional in the tsate tournament, however, as they lost 6 to 5 on a passed ball.
Maine jumped off to a 3-0 lead in the first inning when Paul Peterson walked. Nevins singled, and Calamari walked to load the bases. Dumich singled in two runs, and Calamari scored on a sacrifice hit. The Hawks picked up another in the third when Dumich and Jim Roark singled, and Bob Marshall scored Dumich on a sacrifice fly. Curt Cade finished the year as the leading hitter for South, as he batted .327. Other leading hitters were Doug Sarcia, .303, Dan Calamari, .270, Greg Bechtold, .269, and Mike Nevins, .268.
Wo/ting Till Next Year? Here's What to Look For by Jim Huster After two years of outsanding teams in almost every sport, many Maine South sport fans are inclined to ask "How good will South be next y e a r ? " With an abundance of fine athletes returning from this year's teams, it appears that the Maine South Hawk will continue to occupy many more high perches in conference. Looking to next fall, inexperience may seem to be a problem for Coach Bob Schmid's 1969 football team. The grodders have only five lettermen returning from the undefeated squad last fall, and only one of them, fullback Greg Abezilian, saw a great amount of service during the year. However, a strong JV team which went 6-0-2 this year will provide a strong nucleus for the new team. Coach Ron Connors will have no such shortage, as ten lettermen return from the team which finished second in conference this year. Jim Cole, the team's number one man and course record holder, will return along with the rest of the team's top four men. As if this isn't enough, this year's sophomore conference champions will also be on hand. In the winter season, Coach Bemie Brady should have another headliner cage team, as he has two returning lettermen to pick up where this year's team left off at the Arlington Sectional. Greg Schmelzer, the team's second leading scorer, and Mike Nevins, who came on strong in the latter portion of this year, will form the nucleus of the '69-'70 team. Other positions are likely to be filled by such members of this year's CSL co-champion JV team as Bob "Crazy" Norlander, Tim Semrow, Ed Benson, Mike
"Stretch" Ebert, and Jim Williams. Although an undefeated record for two years in a row is hard to improve on. next year's varsity gymnastics team possibly could be the finest in the school's history. With s u c h names as Steve Olson, Scott Shute, Jack Farny, and Chris Porter, and five other lettermen. Coach John Ricitelli's crew is a good bet to take undisputed control of the conference crown. With six returning lettermen returning under Coach Tom Zeimek, the wrestling team should rebound from the somewhat disappointing season they had this year. For a change, Maine will be strong in the lower weights with Dan Martella, Tom Magas, Ralph Rozny, and Rick Popp back. Jack Brown and Tony Colletto will be back in the middle classes. Once again, a fine JV team will help to fill gaps that graduation will leave. Coach Ed Smith will welcome baclk 16 lettermen from this year's conference champion track team next year for another run at the title. Among these are individual league champs Jim Cole, Mike Murzyn, and Ted Berg. The Hawk cindermen will have such strong sprinters as Nick Lyons, Steve Domaratius, and Jim Doubler. Dave Fowler and Tom Dunn will be back to try to extend South's dominance of hurdle shuttle relays, and distance runners Jim Walley, Jay LaJone, Bob Cesario, and Bill Swaback will back up Cole and Murzyn. South's baseball nine, with five returning lettermen, will also seek to move up in the league standings. Mike Nevins and Dan Calamari, two of the strongest hitters on this year's team, vrill lead the Hawk's batting attack, while Larry Teschner should serve as the nucleus of the pitching staff.

Tutoring at Hull House: Cherished Memories Keeping with its policy to get students actively involved Student Council, under the direction of South Park C h u r c h Youth director Doug Amidon, and student council member Rich Hyde '69, organized a tutoring program to be carried out at Hull House on Beacon Street. Over one - hundred students were actively involved in tutoring children from Stockton school near Hull House. The response was so overwhelming that five shifts had to be organized. Two shifts operated at 5:30 and 7:30 on Tuesdays and three shifts on Saturday at 8:30, 9:30 and 10:30 a.m. Students tutored their 'tutee' for approximately an hour. The first hour was devoted to academic work and the last half hour to creative play. The tutees were willing students and showed a deep interest in all the lessons. The main purpose was not to tutor, but to be a friend to the child you tutored. Most tutors had the same child everj' week. One student said: "I went down to Hull House just for something different to do. I didn't really have any high motives in doing it; I just wanted something to do. But now, after the tutoring session is over, I realize that its been one of

Most students agreed, it had been one of the most rewarding experiences of their lives. Another student said, "I'll never forget Tommy, especially after I bought him a popsicle and he looked up at me and said, 'Gosh, you really must be rich." It was the personal experiences that made tutoring so worth the time and the effort. Looking at a child and suddenly reaUzing that it was going to

Silarski, Welzenbach To Attend Boy's State Through the eyes of a girl, Boys State might be simply defined as a Utopian society. For at Boys State a girl would have no competition with other females. This convention-like meetings of the males will take place during the week of June 22 through the 30, just in case any girls would like to try tlicir luck. But the chances of being accepted by any of the participants are very slight, due to the fact that all of the boys will be busily occupied running a 51 state government. •

Said John GUles, '69, "Boys State is actually a citizenship school where you learn by doing." The boys have their own constitution for the country of which they are completely responsible. The country is divided into counties, the counties into four cities, the cities into wards, and then the wards into precincts. The two political parties are ihe Nationalists and The Federalists. The members of each party are very democratically chosen. The occupants of top bunks are assigned to one party, bottom bunks to the other. Also, within this short time period, elections for governor and executive offices are also held. This year the two representatives from Maine South will be John Welzenbach, '70, and Dave Silarski, '70. Their interests were first aroused through their history instructors, and were finally notified of their acceptance on the night of the History Awards. John is being sponsored by Mrs. Bus of the Military VFW, while Dave is being sent to Springfield by the DAR. They will each receive forty dollars to cover the registration fee, plus ten dollars spending money. So any girl who gets acquainted with a participant of Boys State can look forward to an interesting evening on the town. After all, ten dollars does not go too far. But then there are a variety of tourist sights which are quite economical. The boys, themselves, w i l l also be given a tour of Springfield, including a visit to the Senate chambers. "It will be a good opportunity to gain personal instruction and knowledge of state government. It should also be fun, but this will be kept down to a minimum," said John. With the absence of girls and a limited budget, this minimum should not be a difficult goal to achieve, especially in Springfield.
