Jeff, Marcia Leading Class of '71 to Honor Jeff Tone and Marcia Brinkerhoff will lead the class of 71 as Valedictorian and Salutatorian through today's Honors Assembly and graduation week.

Jeff and Marcia will be the last Maine South graduates to carry these titles into graduation week. Future classes at Maine South will name only the Maine Scholars, the top one per cent of the graduation class.

Class of 1971's valedictorian, Jeff Tone, will be Princetonbound in the fall.

JefPs plans include majoring in history. He eventually hopes to study law.

Although he has been a member of the National Honor Society since his jimior year, scholastic achievement has been just one facet of Jeff's career at South. He was also a member of the varsity football team and served as Student Council's parlia mentarian.

Jeff's schedule this year included: Chemistry I, English IV AP, European History AP and Spanish IV accelerated.

When asked if he had made a conscious effort to be the top senior in his class he replied: "I never really thought about being number one in my class.

I just did the best I could and it tiuTied out that way. Actually, it came as a surprise to me."

Jeff Tone Valedictorian

Marcia Brinkerhoff will speak as saluatorian at this year's commencement. She was elected as a junior to National Honor Society.

An active member of Campus Life, Marcia's activities include Pep Club and V-Sbow. She is a former class council member.

Courses this year for Marcia are AP English, AP Biology, Government-Democracy Accelerated and AP Math.

Marcia, when asked, said she didn't try for number two. "I'm scared about giving my speech

at commencement," she commented.

This year, both Maine Scholars (top 1 percent) and the valedictorian and salutatorian will be honored at graduation ceremonies. Marcia feels it's better to have Maine Scholars because more students are given a chance to be recognized.

Next year, Marcia will attend the University of Michigan. She plans on being a nurse. This summer she has a job at Big Boy's Hamburgers as a carryout girl.

Names of this year's Maine Scholars were not available as this issue went to press.

Those receiving department awards today were: Mary Hester and Debby Moot, Art; Nancy Benjamin, English; Pat Papienski, Home Economics; Bill Wedderspoon, Industrial Education; Tom Hesketh, Mathematics; N a n c y Benjamin, Music; Jean Kersting, Girls' Physical Education; Keith Keller, Boys' Physical Education; Tom Hesketh, Science; Jay LaJone, Social Science; and Bob Pahnke, Speech/Drama.

Committee Visits Other Schools, Sees Various Open Campuses

The Science Department presented awards to science students May 27.

Principal Clyde K. Watson gave an address to those present. Mr. James Demorest, biology teacher, presented t h e awards. Mr. Ronald Teller, department chairman, presented the special awardj.

John Koulos '72 received the Rensseler Award. This award is given to an outstanding junior in the fields of math and science.

Thomas Hesketh received the Bausch and Lomb Award. Each year the Math and Science departments give this award to one outstanding senior.

A total of 75 awards were given.

of responsibility and making all facts of open campus, both pro and con, available to the board.

Areas which the committee considers under the general atmosphere of a school include academics, school services such as the cafeteria, drug abuse, extra-curricular activities, on and off campus supervision, traffic safety and vandalism.

The committee is only a factfinding committee and should not express personal opinions in its reports.

Friday, May 28, Mike Goerss visited both Hinsdale Central and Hinsdale South. His group met only witli the school principal, student council president and some administrators and had little opportunity to speak with teachers and students. According to Mike, this was only a preliminary visit and in-depth visits, talking with teachers and students, will come in the fall.

Hinsdale Central had an openended day; students come when their first class starts and leave after their last class.

Hinsdale South has complete open campus due to a lack of space for study halls. Mike pointed out that vandalism has reduced considerably, while parental complaints have risen.

The committee will be meeting during the summer and sending questionnaires to other high schools. Next fall, the groups will visit more high schools.

Others receiving medals were Nancy Mellon, acting in Anastasia; Rick Spatafora, acting J.B.; Nora Donahue, student director for Brigadoon; Cathy Cox, best senior; and Calvin Churchman, best thespian.

High school district 207 Board of Education has established a committee to gather information on open campus.

A selection committee chose eight students, eight parents, four faculty members and four school administrators from the four Maine high schools.

Jonim^ Mike Goerss and Pam Sakowicz are the student representatives from South.

The committee split into four smaller groups, each with two students, two parents, one faculty member and one administrator. Each of these groups is visiting at least one Chicago area high school that includes some form of open campus in its program. Reports of the groups' observations are then prepared for the board.

The committee functions primarily to help the board obtain aU possible information on open campus. Its job includes defining open campus, reporting the general atmosphere of a visited school, the effects on the community, the student acceptance

Commencement exercises are scheduled for June 10 at 6 p.m. outside (weather permitting) in the football staidum.

According to Rick Spatafora, new National Honor Society President, NHS Juniors will assist as honor guards at commencement, baccelaurate and the Seniors' Honor Assembly.

Regular summer school clas-

ses begin next Wednesday, June 16 and end July 28. Time is 8 a.m. until 12 p.m. Drivers' Education and Biology begin June 14. The latter ends July 30, while Drivers' Ed. is held on alternate days in IVi hour segments until July 21.

Souths AFS Student, Marianne, To Visit Malaysia for Summer Marianne Zdeblick, M a i n e South junior, will attend classes in Malaysia this summer courtesy of AFS. She will leave June 4 and return August 29.

Possibilities of becoming an exchange student began for Marianne last October when she attended an AFS meeting open to all interested students.

The thirty students who came were asked to write essays. Ten students chosen from this group had to give impromptu talks at the next AFS meeting.

The five finalists were visited in their homes. AFS sponsors talked with applicants and their families.

"When they came to our house," Marianne commented, "they asked my little brother what he would think if I was gone for the summer. He clapped his hands and yelled 'Yea ' I really think that's why I'm going."

Marianne then became one of the two finalists. This time her family had to write an essay on why she should go. Marianne

had to write another essay and fill out endless application forms. The essays and forms were sent to New York where it was decided that Marianne would be Maine South's exchange student.

About two weeks ago Marianne found out what country she v/as going to. "I didn't even know what hemisphere I would be in," she said. Applicants have no choice as to which of 50 possible countries they will be sent.

In Malaysia, Marianne wUl stay with the Cheahs, an upper middle class family who speak excellent English. After corresponding with them, Marianne has found the Cheah family to be remarkably like her own, something AFS strives for. Marianne will live in a suburb of Qual Lumpur, the capital of Malaysia.

Her school in Malaysia starts at 7:30 a.m. and ends at 1:30 p.m. All classes are held in English. Since the Cheah family and school will both be speaking English, Marianne

doesn't think she will have too great a communication problem.

Marianne will fly to San Francisco, join other AFS students, fly to Manilla, Singapore, and finally Qual Lumpur. In Qual Lumpur there will be a two day orientation session. After that students will be off to their individual families.

When asked what she thought about going to Malaysia, Marianne said, "My mom was at first apprehensive because it is so close to Vietnam.

"When I first found out about Malaysia, I expected rubber tree plantations, but now that I've read about the country it seems so modern I really don't know what to e x p e c t "

These history buffs were awarded trips to various institutes downstate and elsewhere.

Southwards Explains Ethics, Errors Maps Increasingly Liberal Trend It would take very little nerve for the editorial staff of Southwords to lambast in this last issue every student, teacher and administrator we don't like. It would be fun to reveal all those confidential remarks we have been listening to all year. It would be entertaining to watch the surprised and insulted faces as we walked out the door.

But we tried to be ethical all year and we refuse to stop now simply to satisfy those tasteless people who would like to see us do those "fun" little things.

In this past year's editorials, we have suggested library reforms, criticized the underground newspaper, commented on national and Student Council elections, urged support for practical candidates and workable plans, attacked National Honor Society elections, called for a more active SC (we know how well that one was received), continued our age-old crusade for optional semester finals and pointed out another side to Ted Berg's famous last words.

We have managed to misspell both the names of the paper (it's SOUTHWORDS) and the editor-in-chief. We replaced the "n" in Jan Knapp's name with an " r " on the front page. In one issue, we forgot to put clarifying editor's notes on three open letters. We had one up side down gymnastics picture and, lest the sports staff be blamed, we wish now to explain it was the editor-in-chief's fault. In the following issue, we had an UD side down sketch of the voting machines—that was nobody's fault, but a mistake made in the print shop. However, it caused election committee chairman Chris Mahaffey to worry that someone would get into the voting booth and try to vote standing on his head.

In the past four years, the class of '71 has gone from close observation through strict attendance procedures and careful supervision of attire (remember when the "big" thing to do was wear culottes on Friday?) to a rather liberal dress code, an upper class lounge and non-mandatory assemblies.

Southwords, too has come a long way in that time. We have gone through one liberal, two conservative and one slightly-tothe-left-of-middle-of-the-road editor. Items that used to get six inches on the front page have been moved to a few lines in the calendar to make room for open campus, school board and SC news.

The senior class has also been through four SC elections. It is impossible not to see the increasingly liberal trends in student thought. "SC should not just sit on their hands and wait for the students to come to them—they should seek out students' opin-

June 7, 1971

ions. . . . SC should take a stand . . . debate . . . draft a resolution on how SC and the students feel." Sound pretty reasonable?

Now, yes.

When these words were spoken, by one of our first and most couragous "radical" students, they smacked of insurrection. The young man who spoke them began his campaign speeches with "There's something wrong in Student Council." His name was Rich Hyde, and he was the "radical" SC presidential candidate in 1968 when the class of '71 were freshmen. Unfortunately, Hyde lost to his quite conservative, football playing opponent Jim Cantonis.

Next year, we heard, "I believe students should have the rights that are constitutionally theirs." The speaker was SC presidential candidate Tim Peterson. Tim also lost, but to the liberal John Welzenbach rather than so-called conserv'ative Bill Mellberg. Under Welzenbach, South got rid of its antiquated dress code. Students were notably happier with Welzenbach than they had been with his predecessor.

Last year, all the candidates could accurately have been labeled liberals. President Ted Berg turned out to be a bigger hero to the student body than even Welzenbach had been because Berg went farther than any of his predecessors. He announced his frustration and anger with the administration at an all-school assembly after a less-than-spectacular school year.

Berg's courage in speaking out as he did was unprecedented. It reflected the pitch student discontent had reached. The student body echoed Ted's sentiments by electing as his successor Bill Dickens— clearly the most radical presidential candidate in SC history.

Where Maine South will go after this, we don't know and certainly the graduating seniors, for the most part, will have little say in the matter. Southwords expects the liberal trend to continue on all fronts. If the trend moves quite rapidly, we expect polarization between students and administrators with local adults being either apathetic or pro-administration and the faculty being torn between two powerful giants—its student."; and its superiors.

The best thing new, is reason. Both sides must make concessions since both have good and bad in their plans. Those in the middle —the best olace for a target to be—must act as arbitrators and stablizers. Maine South is moving toward an obscure goal— the balance in student-administrative relations. The onlv wav South will reach that eoal. or anv other, is by traveling dow^n the middle of the road.

from Finland, will soon be saying good-bye to her temporary school and new-found friends.

Siru will leave Park Ridge June 27 to begin a three week tour of the United States. During that time she will attend an AFS conference in Washington, D.C. She will leave for Finland from New York on July 14.

According to Siru her first few weeks at South were difficult for her and took some adjusting.

"Everything s e e m e d so strange. The language was new and confusing, and it took me a while to make friends. However, everyone was so helpful and friendly that I soon lost all my fears," she said.

Although Siru is unhappy about leaving, she admits that she is a little homsick for Finland.

"Right now everyone is having parties and I just can't tbink about leaving. But after nine months of being away, I'm anxious to see my friends and family again."

Sim commented that the facil-

ities at South are fantastic and offer many opportunities for the student. However, she stated that she prefers her system where a student takes 10 to 15 courses, because she considers it more beneficial.

Perhaps the most memorable experience for Siru was participating in V-Show.

"I was amazed at all the talent displayed in the production," she said.

Siru's stay in America has not been confined to Park Ridge.

During the year she has had the opportunity to visit other high schools in the area. She also lived with an Evanston black family for ten days.

When Siru returns home, she will attend high school for another two years. After graduation, she plans to attend a university or pursue a possible career as a dancer.

Siru feels that she has changed greatly through her experiences in America.

"Now I can see things more openly, and I think I have grown mentally by my stay here."

Senior MVP's. M-Club Award Revealed Jim Wolley Maine South's cross country teams have built up several highly successful seasons over the years, and a lot of the credit goes to Jim Walley, the senior MVP. Jim Walley has been on the varsity team three years, lettering on all seasons.

Jim came out for the sport freshman year and was elected most valuable player of the frosh-soph team during that year. Last year Jim was elected captain of the varsity team which took the conference title.

After the *ross country season, Jim, like the majority of Maine South's cross country runners, runs the long distance races on the track team. Jim's specialty has been the 2-mile which he has performed on the varsity level for three years.

Cross country coach Ron Connors hails Jim as "a real team leader. Jim, more than anyone else, has always been ready to get the team going when it needed it."

Next year Jim will attend Ripon College where he will run cross country and long distance track.

Vaughn Hapeman Despite the record of this year's soccer team, there were still many outstanding players.

One of these was Vaughn Hapeman. For this reason he was named the most valuable player on this year's team.

Vaughn has been on the varsity soccer team for the past two years. Last year he played fullback. He plans to go to the University of Wyoming because they have one of the best soccer teams in that part of the country.

Vaughn along with Don Jonswald were named all-conference.

Mike Bonk Mike Bonk was a member of the Maine South basketball squad for four years. In that span Mike proved himself to be one of the best guards that South has produced, tickling the twine for well over 1,000 points in his illustrious high school career.

Last year as a junior, Mike played in the shadow of Jimmy

Williams and as a result did not do a lot of scoring. But despite this lack of scoring, Mike proved himself to be a truly fine defensive player.

Even though the Hawks were knocked out of the state tourney relatively early this season, Mike still received an all-conference nomination and was voted by the Daily News as one of the top players in the area.

The University of Iowa bound guard will practice basketball this summer, and hope to gain a spot on Iowa's freshman team in the fall of next year.

Dave Littel In both fencing and tennis Dave LIttell has excelled and has earned the title of MVP for both of them. Littell has been out for both sports all four years and from sophomore year on has lead the teams to all their victories.

In tennis Littell earned the most valuable player title on the freshman team and also earned a varsity letter for district. Sophomore, junior, and senior years Dave has played first singles.

He also received the m o s t valuable player award for varsity play these three years. As a junior and senior Littell took first in districts and made the trip downstate. Littell this year compiled an astounding record of 13-3.

Littell's performances were even better during the fencing season. His freshman year on varsity he reached the quarterfinals in the state tournament.

However as a sophomore Dave out did himself and captured the state title, and was named MVP. As a junior Littell and team mates were able to win second in state but he was unable to capture the state title. This year, however he led the Hawk fencers to the state championship and another state title for himself.

Dave acquired a 24-3 record this year and earned the MVP for an outstanding season and high school career.

Steve Olson Steve Olson has continually been one of the best scoring gymnasts since his sophomore year. Throughout the season Steve had many of the highest

scores for the team on the trampoline besides good scores on the parallel bars.

Steve has placed in districts and sectionals his junior and senior years. Also in his junior year he entered the state finals and managed a ninth-place on the trampoline.

Once again this year Steve went into state competition and this time took third place.

Tom Magas This year's most valuable senior on the varsity wrestling squad is Tom Magas. Tom finished his final grappling season with a 7-1 conference record.

Highlighting his tournament play this season was a firstplace finish in the Prospect holiday tourney, downing three opponents on the mats. In the district meet at Hersey, Tom was also the champion of his 138-pound, with a 2-1 record in that meet. After districts, Tom advanced to the regional meet at West Leyden, where he placed third in his class winning one out of his three decisions.

Tom has worked the mats for his four years at South and lettered in his junior year. He was a consistent varsity performer in both his junior and senior years.

Tom, along with Larry Burton and Scott Miller highlighted a rather disappointing season, with the varsity winning five and losing seven of their meets.

James Kelly Murphy

Jim Curran This year's most valuable player on Maine South's senior swimming team was James "Jace" Curran. "Jace," as he is referred to by his teammates, was fifth on the swim team in scoring. His 99 points was a major factor in South's high finish in district competition.

Curran swam mostly I.M. and Freestyle this year. His 99 points were enough for his third swimming letter in four years of high school competition.

James plans to attend Notre Dame next year where he plans to continue his Swimming career.

Kelly Murphy KeUy Murphy has the distinction of being the top middle distance runner from a team that is famous for its middle distance talent. Thus he has been elected as the senior most valuable player for track and field.

Murphy holds three conference championships to his credit in the half mile as well as the anchor position on South's conference and district championship mile relay team. Maine South's track teams have won three conference titles with Murphy being a major reason for this success. This year alone he accumulate over 200 points.

Kelly broke through the 2-minute mark in the half mile in the conference meet last year as a junior and has been consistently pushing that mark farther down until he reached the mark of 1:54.2 in the district meet.

Joe Comyn

JamM Curran

James Walley

One of the assets to this year's golf team is Joe Comyn.

This spring he has consistently been scoring in the upper 30's and low 40's for nine holes.

His outstanding performance all season gave him the lowest average of the Hawk varsity golf team with a 40.7.

Last year Joe was aUo one of the valuable players of the team. With this record he was chosen as Most Valuable Player on this year's team.

M-Club Votes Joe Ideb T971 Athlete of the Year Joe Zdeb was recently named Maine South's Athlete of the Year for the Class of 1971 by a vote of the M-Club. Joe was elected most valuable player on both the baseball and football teams this year. Joe's athletic prowess has made him one of Maine Souths top college prospects.

In football this season, Joe sparked the entire offense as he established himself as the Hawk's p r i m a r y offensive threat. Starting every game at halfback, Joe led South in both scoring and rushing.

He scored 102 points this season, both nmning and receiving passes. Concentrating on his off-tackle and sweep manuevers, Joe gained well over 800 yards rushing.

For his achievements, Joe received doe recognition. The coaches of the Central Suburban League paced Joe and four other teammates on the allconference football team. As a result, Joe was a nominee for All-State honors. In addition, Joe was selected by all four Chicago newspapers as a member of their respective All-Area football squads.

He was also cited by numerous local newspapers throughout the state for his distinguished grid action.

Joe has been on the football squads for all of his four years at South, playing varsity action

his junior and senior years.

Joe, a junior letterman, distinguished himself in his first varsity season by taking the challenge to quarterback the team.

Despite the teams dismal finish in that campaign, Joe previewed the fine play he exhibited this season. He led the Hawks in their comeback attempt this year as they came a long way from almost last in 1969 to fourth in 1970.

Joe has also blazed an equally outstanding trail in his three seasons of varsity baseball.

Lettering as a sophomore, Joe has led the team in his past two seasons. Stationed at third base his first two varsity campaigns, Joe shifted to shortstop and the outfield this season.

In his final high school season, Joe led the conference with five homeruns and batted a hefty .350 plus average. He sparked the powerful offense all season with his timely hits and runs batted in. He particularly starred in tournament play as he came up with clutch hits when they were needed and delivered two homers, both coming in one game.

Post-season baseball honors have not been announced yet but Joe has an excellent chance of being an all-conference choice and All-State nominee, as well as winning local press distinction.

Evanston Eliminates Hawks In Regional Baseball Action The varsity baseball team was thwarted in a bid for their second trip to Peoria on Monday, May 17, as they were downed in ten innings by a highly-touted Evanston team, 10-8.

Evanston took an early lead as in the first inning a Larry Gawaluch wild pitch tallied one run. Evanston could score no more in that inning, so the score stood at 1-0.

Evanston lead until the bottom of the third inning when the Hawk bats came to life. Behind the strong hitting of Joe Zdeb and Tom Fulton the Hawks talllied two runs, thus moving ahead by a slim score of 2-1.

After four innings the Hawks still led by that same score, but in the top of the fifth the roof caved in. Evanston after two were out, pushed across four runs to go ahead by a 5-2 score.

The Hawks however struggled back in the sixth to score a run on a Greg Gann double and a sacrifice by pitcher Larry Gawaluch.

In the bottom of the seventh the Hawks loaded the bases with Fulton, Bonk and Gann all getting on with hits. Larry Gawaluch then stepped up and drilled the first pitch into right field for a hit and an RBI. The margin was closed to a precarious 5-4 Evanston lead. With nobody out Kevin Klett then stepped in and hit a deep fly

Hawk shortstop Joe Zdeb rounds first on an extrabase hit against Ridgewood.

ball to flet. Mike Bonk, who was on third, tagged up and scored the tying run. But the Hawks who were the home team could not put across the wiiming run so the score stood at 5-5.

In the first extra inning, Evanston managed to creep across one run and took the lead once again, 6-5.

In the bottom of the eighth, Joe Zdeb stepped up, and made the Evanston shift look silly and he dropped a blooper into right field and wound up on third with a bloop triple. One pitch later Zdeb was across with the tying run as Larry Kolbus drove him home with a sharp single to left.

South could not bring across that "big" run so the score was tied at 6-6 and another iiming was in order.

In the ninth Evanston once again took the lead this time they managed to come up with two. But the Hawks hung in there and tied it once again 8-8.

Evanston, however, was not to be denied as some poor field play by South and some good running by the Wildkits once again combined to bring Evans-

ton to an 10-S margin in the middle of the 10th.

The new Hawk pitcher, Jerry Jones, opened the last South inning with an infield single and things looked a little brighter with the top of the order coming up. But the Hawks left Jones stranded on first as the next three South hitters all struck out to end the game, with the final score being 10-8 in favor of the boys from Evanston.

Evanston, however, was eliminated by Niles West in the regional championship game the following Wednesday.

On Saturday the Hawks traveled to New Trier West where they pounded out 16 hits, and crushed the crestfallen Cowboys, by a lopsided score of 13-1. This game proved to be sweet revenge for the Hawks who, earlier in the season had suffered their first conference loss at the hands of these same Cowboys.

The Hawks scored their first run in the top of the second inning, with Mike Bonk extending his hitting streak to 11 games and driving in the first run of the game.

Maine South's Athlete of the Year Joe Zdeb slides safely into second base.

Golfers W i n Final Meet, Fail To Qualify for State

Maine South's varsity golf team completed its season action less Oian two weeks ago.

The team did not qualify for sectionals, since only the first three teams New Trier West, Glenbrook South and Maine East of the districts the week before qualified, nor for the state finals held by the University of Illinois.

But the Hawks have had the best record for three years at Maine South. In conference they had a four-win and four-loss record. The golfers also placed eighth out of a field of competition of 16 schools.

At the conference meet held May 24 at Rob Roy, the Hawks grasped fifth place once again while New Trier West and Glenbrook South placed first and second respectively.

Soph Baseballers Split Last Four Contests After an excellent start and a dismal middle, the sophomore baseball team closed their season by taking three out of the final four conference games. .After a 9-0 loss to Niles West, the sophs came back with a 21-16 victory over New Trier West. Tony Riebel pitched a complete game while freshman Dave Hood paced the offense with a grand-slam homerun.

The sophs followed this win up with a 3-0 loss to Maine West. The high point of this loss was the pitching as West threw a perfect game at South.

The next game was a 13-5 trouncing of Dcerfield. Mark Rulle's crippling shot down the third-base line leading off the game started a first inning rally that gave South the lead they never lost.

Hawks End Season with 3 Championship Teams It took until March, but the Hawks finally got the conference titles that were eluding them for the major part of the year. Three titles finally came to the Hawks in two sports and the first state title in the school's history.

Basketball which year after year seems to be Maine South's most consistently winning team. This year the Hawks were plagued by having one of the shortest teams in the area and still came out with a share of the CSL laurels with arch-rivals Maine West.

The Hawks feU only twice during their conference campaign, first to Glenbrook South in the conference opener and second to Deerfield in a second round four point loss.

The Hawks tie for first was achieved through the efforts of dumping tiie Maine West Warriors twice. The first win came at home to the tune of 70-65. The Hawks won the second round 72-63.

Guards Mike Bonk and Roger Sauter led the team to prominence with forwards Tim Semrau and Jerry Jones.

Kuss Hylen centered the team. Dave Jacobsen, Kurt Schmidt and Tom Spicer alternated regularly for the Hawk cagers.

The second conference title for Maine South came one week after the Maine West wins as the Hawk trackmen dominated the indoor conference meet. These same trackmen added another conference title with a dominating win in the outdoor conference meet.

Half-miler Kelly Murphy and shot-putter Bill Green paced the Hawks with a first place in each meet. The Hawk mile relay also had the distinction of grabbing two titles.

Kelly Murphy, Jim Edgecombe, Jay LaJone, Tom Starck,

Pat McNamara and Wayne Tuminello regularly led the mile relay team. McNamara led the Maine South sprinters with two district titles. Jim Staunton took second indoors in the shot put, but moved up outdoors in his own event, the discus.

Quartermiler Tom Starck had a surprise for some of the more highly regarded quarter-milers in the conference as he streaked past them to take the 440 title. The Hawk 880-relay of Pat McNamara, Ray Novotny, Wayne Tuminello and Dan Mojica took only second and third in the conference meets, but ran away with the district title with a blazing performance of 1:30.1.

Other top performers were high jiunper Rob Lossman, pole vaulters Paul Johnson, two-miler Jim Walley and miler Kevin Huffman.

The Maine South Fencing team finally reached its long sought goal by taking the state title with 78 points. Second place Marshal was far behind with 45 points. Dave Littel led the Hawks throughout the year as he regained the individual state fencing title for the second time in his high school career.

Second-man Bob Young finished in fifth place. The third man on the Maine South A-strip Phil Frystak also reached the states' top ten as he finished ninth.

Maine South's B-strip was composed of senior John Funcan and juniors Mike Rusin and Larry Robbins. The Hawks were only entered in one invitational this year, the New Trier West Invite, which they won.

The Hawks won all of their meets except one. Their only loss was to Notre Dame which they tied in points and lost on number of touches.

of 38 and 39 by Comyn and Kosick, respectively.

The Hawks in their last meet against Niles North, however, got their long needed win with a score of 172 to 175. Once again Kosick was low scorer with a 38 for nine holes.

Most of the varsity team will return next year and should be well prepared for a more successful season considering their improvements this year over last year.

Senior Joe Comyn was selected as Most Valuable Player and junior Howard Kosick picked for captain.

F-S Golf Ends Season The Frosh-Soph Golf Team closed out a tough season on a losing note. After a 3-5 record in conference competition, they took sixth in the conference meet.

Coach Riccitelli sited the loss of Sophomores Robert Westman and Gary Katz to Varsity as a major reason for the Sophomores dismal season.

Westman was chosen as the Sophomores MVP. Leading the team in the absence of Westman and Katz throughout the year were Fred Eaton (chosen Honorary Captain), Ken Jacobsen, Jim Carrol, Brian Nolan, David Dale, Steve Ebert, and Paul Busch.

Hie Frosh-Soph season is filled with much promise next year with the return of Dale, Ebert, and Busch. All three are Freshmen.

Westman served as a substi tute on the Varsity team while Katz was a starter. Katz was low man in the Varsity's loss to Niles West, while Westman was influential in many Soph victories in the few meets he played on the Sophomore level.

Other Frosh-Soph golfers were John Bma, Mark Duski, Ron Brandt, Bill James, Bill Luczo, Dave Wunderle, Mark Ludwig, Gary Ozimek, Pat Lang, Mike LeBeau. Malcolm Engstrom, John Zautke, Rick Speares, Mike Murphy, Jeff Strum, Dave Brown, Tom Papastefen, Craig Sandstrom, and Rich Dryer.

Trackmen End Jinx, W i n Two Major Titles The five-year jinx — the one that says that any track team that wins the indoor conference title will fall short of victory in the outdoor meet — has finally been ended.

though, was South's biggest point event as Wayne Lekan and Paid Babinec placed 1-2 to sweep that event.

Besides Babinec, South had four other seconds with Zaworski in the long jump, Mike Herdrich in the shot put, Steve Marvin in the discus and Ray Miller in the mile.

Ashley was chosen team MVP while quarter miler Rob Nowak was Captain.

The freshmen didn't fare so well.

place in a blazing clocking of 1:54.2.

Senior pole vaulter Paul Johnson took third place with an effort of 13". McNamara, Murphy and both of the relays all made the trip to Champaign, but all fell short of placing in the finals. Paul Johnson did qualify for state but was imable to compete because of his broken collarbone.

You Just Wait Until Next Year After six years of athletic success, the Maine South trophy cases have finally reached the point where they can barely hold anymore, and all indications show that next year they'll probably be overflowing.

The returning athletes at South show all the potential to turn out the most outstanding year of sporting success in the school's history.

Baskefball has always been a championship sport for the Hawks and 1971-72 should prove to be no exception. The Hawks will be welcoming back only one returning starter, sophomore Jerry Jones, an allconference selection. As for the rest of the team, Coach Brady will again have to play around the lack of experience, but he will undoubtedly have a highly talented group to work with. An undefeated junior varsity and an undefeated sophomore team will fill next year's cage squad with enough ability to bring Maine South complete conference tiUe. The Maine South track team will, as they have for the past few years, welcome back a well experienced team. This year's track team has been the best in the conference history, but all indications show that next year's could probably be even better. Hawk sprinter Pat McNamara will return next year with few conference runners in his class. Middle distanceman Tom Starck and wei^htman Jim Staunton will both have several titles to defend as well as experience at the state meet. Next year's returning lettermen will not be few in number: Kevin Huffman, Bill Reilly, Tom Wright, Rob Lossman, Jon Edstrom, Brad Camp, Jay Rasmussen, Mike Maloney. Al Jahn. Neal Lohuis, Kerry Frey, Rick Meyer and Rick Luft.

Maine South's football team is going to lose a lot, but can look forward to several strong spots on next years team including improved bulk on the line led by allconference Paul Gustafson along with Rob Pinplli, Jeff Shoemaker. Dave Smaus, Bob .leschke and Vince Chichino. Next year's defense should bo especially strong with an experienced group of defensive backs: Pat McNamara. Goeff Engerman, Randy Miller and Jay Rasmussen. Sophomores will be needed next year to fill in and add depth.

The 1971 varsity cross country team will be under the direction of a new coach, Mr. John Kilcullen. Coach Kilcullen has coached several of Maine South's distance track tpams to success in the oast years. Coach Kilcullen not only looks forward to a contending team, but also to some ootimistic possibilit'es at the state meet. His hones will lie in his returning lettermen: MVP

Kevin Huffman, Bill Reilly, Tom Starck and Mike Wencel. Sophomore MVP Tom Wright will also be returning with hopeful possibilities.

There is little that the Maine South soccer team can do but improve and Coach Tilley next year can look forward to a good deal of experience in this new sport from Tom Greising, Jeff Cragg, John Sterba, Bill Bradshaw, Bob Seitz, Bill Aimers and Scott Borchardt.

The Maine South fencers will be looking for a new coach for next year. But whoever the coach is, they will have the potential to take the state title again. This team as sophomores was completely undefeated and will boast of three returning lettermen: Larry Robbins, Mike Rusin and Don Clem.

The Hawk gymnasts will be welcoming back several key personnel headed by MVP Dirk Martin. Rick Luft, Keith Bocek, Brian Clare, Rich Behnke, Tim Wright, John Kersting, Gary Borowski, John Dummer and James LoBue will all retiun and give the Hawks hope of starting a new gymnastics dynasty.

Next year will be a season of rebuilding for wrestling Coach Zeimak who lost several returning lettermen at the beginning of this year's season. Junior Tony Rodham and sophomores Dave Bamett, Chuck DiFranco and Bob Olker will be among those returning.

The Hawk swimmers will have hope of keeping on their road upwards as they will welcome back MVP Norm Pussehl along with juniors Ted Johnson and Mike Cesario.

Sophomore Brad Kozie and freshman Bob McCullough will also add to the experience of the team.

Mains South's baseball team will be one of tlie Hawk teams hit hardest by graduation as no regulars, with the exception of soph hurler Jerry Jones will return to action.

Head Coach George Verber however hopes to get beyond that inexperience by praising the upcoming team as a "very hard working team."

Golfing Coach Ronald Ross has made the 1971 season a season with the future in mind and next year it could pay off well.

With the exception of Joe Comyn, this vear's varsitv was entirely underclassmen.

Howie Kosik, Bob Katz. Scott Romness and Steve Colnitis offer much experience to next vear's squad.
