A traveling exhibition of 54 prints by William Hogarth, 18th century English graphic satirist, will be on display Oct. 13-24, 1969 at Maine South. The prints will be in the Display cases by the Adminstrative office entrance. The exhibition, arranged by the University of Illinois Krannert Art Museum and Division of University Extension, is sponsored by The Maine South Art Dept. Hogarth, born in 1697 is noted for his extraordinary talent as

a pictoral commentator on the life and manner of his time. Though his contemporaries did not express much regard for his abilities as a painter, he is respected today as a descriptive, satirical, dramatic chronicler who, in some of his paintings, showed himself to be an artist of distinction. The prints are part of the collection of Krannert Art Museum on permanent loan from the Olsen Foundation, Inc. The exhibition is one of numerous traveling displays arranged by the museum.

Space Antena Receires Radio Waves The relatively new science of radio-astronomy has made its Maine South debut this year in the form of a club whose sole project will be the workings of a seven-foot parabolic antenna. The antenna's purpose is to pick-up and record radio waves given off by stars and some of the planets. Jeff Gallucci and John Cavaliere, both sophomores, thought of the idea last year and have been working on it since then. The antenna started receiving early this week. The results are taken by a pen-recorder and

Tutoring Given By Honor Society As in the past, tutoring is being offered this year to aid the students of Maine South. The National Honor Society, offering the traditional tutoring sessions, feels it is responsible for helping other students in bringing grades up because of the society members' "A" averages. Another reason for the sessions is that the tutors can earn money from tutoring students. Courses covered in the tutoring program include mathematics, science, English, foreign languages, and some types of social sciences. Tutoring is difficult in some social science areas because the work is primarily reading and memorizing. The student who desires to be tutored contacts his counselor who, in turn, gives general in-

formation on the student such as name, year in school, and study periods along with the subject the student is interested in to Vesna Neskow, the NHS tutoring chairman, or the pupil may contact Vesna himself. The tutoring chairman assigns tutors to their students, but the tutors and students decide between themselves on the time, place, and number of sessions each week. Each student pays a fee of $2 per hour to their tutor. Tutors instruct the students in the methods they find that follow their line of thought. Students are eligible to be tutors if they are juniors or seniors and have a 3.0-or-above grade average. Hank Warchall N.H.S. President

The antenna will be the project of the club all year, and members will go up to the Science Department during their study halls to record the data received. The antenna is only a modified television antenna donated by Channel-Master. The other equipment used was either donated, or is owned by the boys ihcmselves. This will really be a four year project, with the boys donating their equipment to the school when they graduate. Mr. C. Lane Anderson, sponsor of the RadioAstronomy Club, has been the boys great-

Juniors Get Early Leave Early dismissal has been extended to include some seniors eighth period and some juniors ninth period. Senior students with eighth and ninth period study halls may request dismissal for these periods if the have job. Jimiors with ninth period study and a job or other valid reason for leaving school early may also request the privilege. Early dismissal was started as a special senior priviledge last year. Seniors were allowed to leave school after eighth period if they were already scheduled for a ninth period study. It was hoped that allowing students to leave early would allow them to get to jobs earlier. This policy has been continued this year and has been extended. To arrange for early dismissal for eighth period for seniors and ninth period for juniors, the students must have notes from their parents stating why early dismissal is requested. They must also fill out a card from their counselor.
