Students Campaign for Smith and Stevenson With the November senatorial elections in the very near future, the local campaign backing Stevenson. Democratic candidate for Illinois senator, has already begun its plans. Kris Lindgren and Chris Mahaffey have written about these campaigns. By Kris Lindgren According to Janice Klich, assistant coordinator of the campaign in Park Ridge, her group is encouraging everyone to vote. Their program of vote gathering includes a door to door campaign, distribution of flyers and phone calls all of which are designed to encourage unregistered voters to register for the upcoming election. Her group, while supporting Stevenson, is trying to get the best possible representation for the election. This, Janice claims, is the only way of assuring a
good election. Anyone interested in helping with the campaign can contact Janice at 823-8262. Here at Maine South, a campaign for Stevenson headed by Tom Lanctot, junior, has started its work. The group has solicited help by calling prospective campaigners. They have also, Tom related, canvassed outside of the school in a search for unregistered Democratic v o t e r s . Workers urge these voters to register and vote. Tuesday, September 29, the committee staged a moch election. The election took place after school in C-115. Anyone rooting for Stevenson can obtain a campaign button from Tom. By Chris Mahaffey After the tragic death of the late Senator Everett Dirksen, it was the legal duty of Governor Richard B. Ogilive to appoint a
man to fill the remainder of Senator Dirksen's term. Since Dirksen had been elected in 1968, another election was required for 1970, and in 1974, when his term would have ended. Ogilive appointed Ralph Tyler Smith, of Alton, who had served twenty-four years in the Illinois Legislature, and was elected Speaker of the House. He is familiar with Illinois and United States legistative procedures, and deserves to be elected to the United States Senate in his own right. I am sure that you are all familiar with the issues of this election year, covered in t he radio and television commercials and i n newspaper publicity, so I will omit this area. I
would like to concentrate on involvement. The upstate Smith headquarters is located at 333 North Michigan Avenue. This is where the real horsepower is needed. Groups of youth, college students, parents, and elders are working, practically on a 24 hour basis. If you were to go to this office, your assistance would be appreciated. All Cook County activities are conducted through this office, and downstate business is conducted in an office in Springfield. However, if you want to work on the local scene, you're always welcome here too. The Park Ridge Republican Headquarters is located at 29 South Fair view. Although this office is
staffed by Maine Township precinct captains, free literature on all GOP candidates is available. Other forms of campaigning are also done. In 1968, the first successful Juckett Caravan was held. Ten cars, packed with literature, set out with Teen Age Republicans (TAR's), and under every windshield wiper, in every Fourth Illinois District shopping center, placed Uterature on behalf of GOP candidates, and Representative Robert S. Juckett. You learn about grass-roots politics, meet the candidates, and help elect effective leadership. If you want to change your country, this is the way to do it—constructively, not obstructively or violently.
University Professor To Address Seniors To Commemorate UN Day All seniors will attend a United Nations Day Assembly Oct. 27, during seventh period. The assembly will commemorate the 25th anniversary of the U.N. Dr. Frank McCallister, professor at Roosevelt University, will speak for approximately 20 minutes on, "The United Nations: The Next 25 Years," according to Mr. Kenneth Faulhaber, who wiU preside. After Dr. McCallister finishes, a panel of three seniors — Audrey Altstadt, Nancy Benjamin and Jay La Jones—will question Dr. Benjamin. Mr. Patton Feichter, a history instructor, will moderate the panel. The purpose of the assembly, Mr. Faulhaber explained, is to help students reflect on what the UN has contributed in the past 25 years and what the future of a peace-keeping and humani-
tarian organization can be. Former Park Ridge Mayor W. Bert Ball, who helped organize the assembly, will attend. Also present will be a committee for UN Day appointed by Park Ridge Mayor Joseph Peacock. Mrs. Edward Bradley heads the committee. Dr. McCallister, the speaker, is the producer of a film on the specialized agencies of the UN. He served as a member of the U.S. delegation to celebrate the independence of Guiena. In August, 1967, he was a delegate to the First World Labor Education Conference conducted by the International Confederation of Free Trade Unions. In April, 1968, he was a member of a delegation on a comparative education study visiting Russia, East Germany, Czechoslovakia, Denmark and Cambridge University in England.

Students' Meeting at Hamlin Gate Source of Residents' Complaints students blocking the Hamlin entrance to Maine South have caused an increasingly serious problem in the eyes of school officials and citizens living on Hamlin. Some of the complaints against the students blocking the Hamlin entrance are that they block other students from passing, that they are causing a serious traffic problem along Hamlin avenue and that they are smoking in violation of school rules. Mr. Robert Simonsen, assis-
Politicans Participate in Forum Four local political figures will be speaking at Maine South in the near future as part of the Social Science Forum. Floyd FuUe, Maine Township Republican committeeman and candidate for a seat on the Cook County Board, will speak on "Cook County Government" on Wednesday, Oct. 21, at 10 a.m. in lecture hall C-127. Mr. Fulle will be followed by Congressman Roman Pucinski, a Democrat from the northwest portion of Chicago, on Thursday, October 22, in C-127 during the seventh period. Pucinski will
discuss what he considers are the three major domestic issues that will affect his district in the years ahead. The following week, Robert Juckett, Park Ridge Republican representative to the General Assembly, will speak on "Township Government and the General Assembly" on Wednesday, October 28, during second period. The series of speakers will conclude with Nicholas Blase, Maine Township Democratic committeeman and mayor of Niles, on Thursday, Oct. 29, at 10 a.m. His topic will be "Town-
ship and Metropolitan Government." Social science classes which pertain to government and meet during second, third or seventh period will be able to attend the lectures. If there is sufficient room remaining in the lecture hall, it will be possible for interested social science students to attend who are not in social science class during the specified periods but who have a study period then. These students should obtain an IBM card from their teachers. This card will serve as a ticket and as an excuse from study hall.
tanl principal, said, "Some of these students feel that they can smoke once they are off school grounds. However, it says clearly in the student handbook that a student cannot smoke when he is within a four block radius of the school. These students at the Hamlin corner are in danger of suspension." The citizens who live along Hamlin Avenue have another reason to complain. The congregation at the entrance has sometimes spilled over onto the lawns of private citizens. One problem the citizens are complaining about is the rumor that the students are smoking
the play: "This play has several great dramatic scenes, with light comic humor throughout. The play is a study of different people, their troubles, their joys and their worlds. The language and the recognition scene are beautiful." Bill Sensenbrenner '72, a blind sleigh driver, gave his opinion about performing: "When acting, you have to consciously try to think and act like the character you're portraying. In a great dramatic play like Anastasia, it's necessary for every actor to think about his relation to the other characters in the story." Crew for Anastasia also has to be motivated. They've been busy since the first Saturday after tryouts were over building a 14 by 48 foot set that is entirely six inches off the stage floor. Neil Anderson, construction crew head, had a personal motivation "It's been great working on Mr. Wagoner's last show here."
marijuana at the Hamlin entrance. Mr. Simonsen said that he is not sure whether or not there are any grounds to the story, but he said that "marijuana is a police problem and will not be dealt with by this school. Any cases of marijuana would be reported directly to the police." The school has taken some steps to remedy the crowding at the Hamlin gate. The gate itself is closed from the time school begins until 3 p.m. According to Mr. Elbert Smith, dean of students, "this is to prevent students from running out for a quick smoke during school hours."
New Runway To Create Increased Plane Noise According to Mr. James Galloway, Park Ridge city manager. South students can expect more airplane noise over their school and, if they live in Park Ridge, possibly over their homes, depending on where in town they live. The increased noise is the expected result of a new runway imder construction at O'Hare Field. This new runway is being con-
Senior Class Play Cast and Crew Describe Aims Motivation is a key to sue cess behind a senior class play. An actor's job involves more than just memorizing lines. Nancy Mellon '72 who portrays the Dowager Empress, explained how she prepares for her role: "First, I read the entire play to find out how my character reacts to other people and situa, tions. Then, I wrote down all the characteristics that I thought the Empress had which weren't in the play. This helps me to act more like her. Since the Dowager Empress is old, I've also been watching old people to see their facial and bodily movements." Jan Knapp '72, who plays Anastasia, said that she liked to act because. "It gives me a ^ chance to understand and express views which agree or contradict my own." Dave Marshall '71, who plays a banker named Chernov, commented on what he thought of

structed parallel to existing runway 422. The new runway will be used, as is the present one, mainly when the wind is south to southwest by planes coming in from the northeast and flying in a southwest direction. He also said, however, that the opinion of the Park Ridge City Council is that "This runway or any additional runway can do nothing but increase the amount of noise. . . We anticipate that as the airport makes provision for more planes to land, more planes will land." As a result, the cities of Park Ridge, Schiller Park and Bensenville have filed suit against the city of Chicago and all the airlines to prevent the airport from making additional noise. Mr. Galloway explained that the suit is not only against the construction of the new runway, which is the immediate problem, but also suggests enactment of measures which would enable planes to fly more quietly, "leading to an actual solution." Congress has made FAA responsible for airplane noise. However, Mr. Galloway said that, "There has never been a decision if the FAA is responsible for the noise that will be created by future generations of planes or for the noise that is created by present planes. We feel that if Congress can create a commission like the FAA, they should be able to determine imder what ground rules it is to operate."

Students Select Queen Court from Senior Girls Homecoming is once again nearing Maine South and along with it comes the selection of a Homecoming Queen. Nominations for the position were taken in homerooms and eight girls were selected as finalists. Of these eight, five girls were chosen for the court with one of these girls reigning as queen. The senior girls chosen include: Nancy Barry, Karen Brocker, Kim Burgess, AprU Everding, Mary Jane Hanke, Jan McAuliff, Luann Moak, and Carlotta Trimarco. Nancy Barry has participated in such activities as Pom-Pon Squad, Class Council, G.R.A., Tri-M, and the Thespian Society. She has been involved with music since her freshman year in Girls' Glee, Girls' Chorus and Concert Choir. Nancy was in three V-Shows and last year's Spring Musical. As a junior she was the Junior Prom Queen, a junior leader and still found time to help in the school library and maintain Honor Roll standings. Her outside activities include dancing, art and Campus Life. Nancy feels Christianity has a lot to do with everybody's life
and that Campus Life helps her buUd these feelings. Indiana University is her choice of school and counseling her major. In response to the new atmosphere at South Nancy said, "The changes have been pretty good. If too many privileges are given, it will be chaos. I don't think there should be any more until these are established." Another candidate for queen is Jan McAuliff, presently a varsity cheerleader. She has also been active in Pep Club, Student Coimcil, Class Council, G.R.A. and Girls' Club. Although she was involved in two V-Shows, Jan has also found time to participate in intramurals and hold her position as a senior leader. Campus Life is also of interest to Jan because she likes to meet people. Jan hasn't decided whether to continue her schooling but if so she would attend a junior college and work. In reference to the changes made at Maine South she stated, "They're good in that you're more free and they lead to a more open campus." April Everding would like to
be a nurse or a fashion designer. The past three years she was on Class Council and she was a cheerleader her sophomore and junior year. She is in Brotherhood, Pep Club and Ski Club. Her freshman year she was in V-Show. She plans to major in home economics at Southern Illinois University or Harper. "I love to sew and learn clothing construction and design." Mrs. Seibold, April's Clothing II and III teacher, and her counselor. Miss Deurer influenced her the most in high school. When asked about her opinion on the changes taking place at Maine South, April replied, "I'm glad Maine South is getting a little more liberal." Karen Brocker, a member of the Thespian Society, Brotherhood Society, and Tri-M, also found the time to be a cheerleader, a senior leader, and to be in Class Council. Besides being in Concert Choir her junior and senior year Karen was in V-Show two years. After graduation Karen plans to go to the University of Illinois and major in education. Karen feels that her friends influenced
her the most in high school. Karen thinks the changes going on in the school are great but she also thinks there is still room for improvement in many areas. Karen's favorite course in high school was Psychology. She said, "I learned things I could really apply to my life." "I don't really think I could go through a whole day without singing," said Luann Moak. Luann was in the musical her sophomore and junior year. She has been in Concert Choir since her junior year.

Airport Soaring Success by Rita HoUerbach There is an unsightly tradition in the movie making industry when Hollywood attempts to adapt a nationwide bestseller to the screen. It usually comes out as a boring adaptation of an otherwise engrossing plot line that somehow disappears between the pages of the book and the camera eye, or as a complete change in the plot line and the total emphasis. About the only thing retained in such
Students Say Not Enough Time To Relax School a breeze? Far from it, say Maine South students. Many — especially the accelerated students — feel they are under too much pressure in high school. Some blame the teachers and offer suggestions for lessening the load. Others merely accept the heavy burden as inevitable. Sue Haas '71, when questioned, described the pressures, "I definitely don't have time to relax. I don't even have
enough time to sleep at night, so I come to school asleep and stay that way through all my classes. "I feel pressured all the time. Several accelerated teachers have the tendency to feel that their class is the only class and assign homework accordingly, although they defiantly deny they think this way. One accelerated course is O.K., but when you have three or more, you really sweat it out."
Afterwords
Time-eating Homework Hampers Pupil Growth Students go to school to learn. This does not mean that out-of-class time not spent doing homework is being wasted. Recreation and relaxation are vital to the maintance of mental health. Student who don't get enough sleep, food or exercise will tend to do poorer work than those who do. One comment in the opinion poll commented that teachers think of their own subjects as being the most important. Although this is only natural, it puts the student in a difficult position. If he does not have the time to finish two assignments, the one that doesn't get done will cause him all sorts of trouble from the teacher of that subject. If he tries to divide his time evenly, he may not get either subject finished, in which case two teachers get angry with him. Homework should be given to supplement a class and to aid students in understanding the material presented. However, some teachers assign "busy work." "Busy work" is work that is of no particular value to the student, but does take up a lot of time. Teachers seem to feel the assignment would not be done if grades were not held over the student's heads. Although this may be true in some cases, consistently interesting assignments would probably encourage more students to work. Besides "busy work," some students are faced with long-term assignments. If a student neglects any part of his work, even for just one night, he may not catch up for weeks. He may never catch up at all.
Ann Flannery '72, torn between schoolwork and extracurricular activities, explained, "As an accelerated student, there are times when I definitely feel pressured and trapped, especially concerning rather difficult long-term assignments. "I guess I could spare myself by being less involved in outside activities, but then I might be short-changing the other facets of my life. As a matter of logic, I accept the workload, but as a matter of personal preference, 1 often don't want to do it." Scott King '73 feels an outsideactivity pinch. Scott explained, "I normally have time to finish all homework and have some leisure time as well. But now, with five solids, four of them accelerated, plus the senior play I find that all my evenings go to daily work, and weekends to reports and essays. I have little leisure time, and the quality of my work is deteriorating." CarIa Krummel '71 mentioned long-range assignments as a burden. "Long-range assignments, although a necessary preparation for college, are difficult to plan ahead for and pile
dent Coimcil and Pom-Pon. She was co-captain of Pom-Pon her junior year. She is in Thespian Society, Brotherhood and she has been in V-Show for the past three years. Her freshman year she was a member of Orchesis. Luann wants to attend Indiana University. "I want to go to Indiana because it has a good language department. I want to teach French." She doesn't feel she was influenced by any one person in particular. "Everytime you meet somebody, a little bit of them rubs off on you," said Luann.
up to the point that they are only all-night assignments, being frantically done the night before they are due." Phil Cagny '74 also mentioned the excessive workloads of certain days. "I think I have plenty of relaxation. I don't feel pressured. The only possible night when my studies might take too long would be Thursday night. I say this because almost every teacher gives his tests on Friday. Usually, I'm stuck with three to four tests on Friday." "Busy work" was criticized by Kris Lingren '73. "I have time for some relaxation on weekends but hardly any on week nights. Two of my teachers give plenty of homework, the majority of it being 'busy work,' which I feel is unnecessary." Dave Cook '71, critical of excessive testing said, "Pressures? What else with college courses under high school conditions: no time for reading as in college, texts loaded with unfamiliar terminology, and the teachers often assuming that we have a background knowledge that, of (CONTINUED ON PAGE 3)

a case is the title and the protaganist. Airport was a refreshing break with such a tradition. Without changing the plot line and the tonal emphasis, the producers adapted Arthur Hailey's novel Airport to the screen in an extremely successful movie. The film follows the main story of an imaginary Chicago airport during the Great Snowstorm of 1968 and tlie ensuing bomb threat on a jetliner bound for sunny Italy. Yet the producers did an excellent job with the subplots of ' the novel. With an uncanny smoothness and balance of action, the plot moves along with- _ out any jagged interuptions or loose ends and rises to a suspenseful and exciting climax over the Atlantic Ocean. With a top-notch cast including Burt Lancaster and Dean Martin, the producers weaved into a quality motion picture a , tender love story between a married pilot and a stewardess, the horror and suspense of a mentally disturbed man bent on the destruction of himself and the whole jetliner along with him, and the cold efficiency of a big city airport. Yet most literary critics will agree that Airport was written as a sensationalist novel — a money-maker with no great literary value. With that thought in mind, it seems a perfect candidate for adaptation to the screen in today's movie-making era.

Most Students Approve, Staff To Print Cartoon Reaction to the first segment of Freshman published in the Oct. 2 issue of Southwords was varied. Karla Jennings '74, in a letter to the editor, commented, "Freshman is just disgusting. You know that there should be nothing humorous in school newspapers today because it could insult ethnic groups, government, the DAR, the ASPCA, freshmen, humans or Donald Duck. "When groups like these get insulted, you are up against someone who is incensed enough to write nasty words in your paper after Oiey've bought it.
Hawks Create Half-time Shows Half-time shows are a combination of hard work and careful planning. Mr. Gordon McLean, band director, works with the band and Miss Barbara Bobrich, biology teacher, organizes the pom-pon squad. Themes and music for halftime shows are selected by Mr. McLean. "I try to pick themes that are new," he explained. "Some parts of the show are original and otliers are part of published shows." A tape of the music selected is given to Miss Bobrich. The squad practices with the tape.
Anyway, your newspaper strip is full of mistakes. The bookstore does not have a window so low by it and Freshman is not dumb enough." The opposing view was also expressed. One student commented, "Freshman was delightful. I think that Southwords needs more humor and at least one cartoon every issue. I also think that showing different faculty faces in the cartoons would help make it a hit." Since most of the opinions received were favorable, the editorial staff of Southwords has decided to continue to print Freshman.

Last w e e k , Niles West trounced the Deerfield Warriors 38-6. Tlie week before. Deerfield downed the Hawks 20-6. Head coach Bob Schmidt stated that the Indians boast a strong offense, and he added that he expects tomorrow's game to be a tough one.

However, with only a minute left in the first quarter, Viking quarterback Scott McKay scored from the two on a keeper. McKay then attempted the two point conversion, but he was stopped short by Hawk Don Lang. At the end of the first quarter, the Hawks led by eight. South missed a field goal at-
tempt late in the second quarter. There was no scoring by either team in the third quarter. Maine South scored again early in the fourth quarter. Once again it was Zdeb, this time going off tackle and sprinting 52 yards for the score. Shlapak converted, and the score remained 21-6. Coach Schmidt was pleased with his team's performance against Niles North and expects to use the same game plan tomorrow. The Deerfield game, however, was a different matter. The Hawks did lead off the scoring with Joe Zdeb running the opening kick-off back 96 yards for the first touchdown. The kick
was blocked and South led 6-0. But after that the story was all Deerfield's. They scored their first six points late in the second quarter on a screen pass. The conversion attempt failed and the score was tied. The Warriors scored again, this time plowing two yards for the
touchdown. The two point conversion attempt failed and at the half Deerfield led 12-6. The Warriors did not score again until the fourth quarter when they plunged one yard for the six points. The tow point conversion was successful and Deerfield won, 20-6.
Hawks Defend CSL Title Two dual meets and the conference meet remain between Maine South and a successful defense o f last year's cross country conference championship. Tonight the Hawks host New Trier West and next Tuesday they travel to Maine West. Last year New Trier fell to the Hawks by a perfect 15-50 score. This year the Cowboys have proven to be a much tougher team in comparison to the rest of the conference. Coach Connor stm hopes to run up a big score in preparation for the Maine West meet. The meet next Tuesday will be the climax of the cross country season for both Maine West and Maine South. Each team currently boasts a perfect conference record and will probably, according to the coaches, carry that record on until next Tuesday. Maine West's first man, Jack St. John has not been beaten at all this year. Their team has proven to have depth by virtue of their meet against powerful Evanston. They were beaten by only one point. Coach Connor hopes to fit as many of South's top five in front of their second man as possible to compensate for St. John winning. He feels if South
can run a meet like the team ran against Glenbrook North, then South can win the conference title. Maine North will also be running at Maine West Tuesday constituting a triangular meet. The new team, however, has only two runners on their team. Under the scoring system of cross country, a team with less than three runners would be unable to win a meet, the most they could hope for would be a 29-30 loss. Last Tuesday the Hawks traveled to Glenbrook North to what was supposed to be a close meet according to many of the coaches in the area. South had different ideas and came home with a 16-47 rain soaked trouncing. Glenbrook could only fit one rurmer into South's top seven as the Hawks moved out strong in the beginning and held a shutout for most of the meet. In action two weeks ago the Hawks defeated Deerfield 17 46 on the home course with Kevin Huffman winning, and Jim WaUey and Kelly Murphy fitting in before Dahlberg of Deerfield. Jerry Garrett and Jay LaJone rounded out the Hawks top five. The next day the Hawks en-
tered the Ridgewood Invitational. Out of a field of 22 teams South took fourth. Coach Connor was not pleased at all with his team's performance. Kevin Huffman finished thirteenth to lead the Hawks. Last week the Hawks pulled in two wins over the two Niles teams. Tuesday the Hawks ran Niles North on their new forest preserve course and won 21-34. Walley finished second; Garrett, third; Murphy, fourth; Tom Starck, fifth; and Mike Wencel, seventh. Kevin Huffman was sidelined with an illness.

Niles Challenges Grid Comeback, Harriers Suffer Horse Problems
Tomorrow the Haviflcs host Niles West and are going to have their work cut out for them. Niles West is tied for second place with the two Glenbrook schools, and Maine South is in another three way tie just behind them with Maine West and Deerfield. A win for the Hawks could put them in good position in the standings. Niles with a two-and-one record needs the win to stay up with undefeated New Trier West. Although South has fallen behind as a conference contender with their two opening losses, they still can hope to finish high in the standings by repeating their performance of last week. Last week the Hawks outplayed NUes North on both offense and defense. They managed to drive the ball much better than they did against Glenbrook South or Deerfield.

Soccer Team Ends Skid Last Saturday Hinkley Big Rock fell victim to the powerful Maine South Hawks as the varsity goldenfeet tallied an impressive 4-0 score to erase their winless streak at seven losses in their sixteen game season. The Hawks have lost four of their last eight games by a one goal margin. Probably the most heartbreaking one-goal loss came at the hands of LaGrange, but Chuck Austin, Hally Juell, Jeff Cragg, and "Blackjack Tilley's Elite Eleven" picked up the pieces necessary to start the Hawks on their way to a winning second half and a possible state-ranking. Coach Tilley's Varsity and Junior Varsity teams h a v e looked very impressive lately,
but remember children, the freshmen and sophomore teams, who, in the lost shadows of the upperclassmen, have an unpresidented winning record of four wins and three losses with a conference record of three and two. Coach Tilley, complimenting all of his teams after the recent Hinkley Big Rock win, stated that his teams have put out the initiative and stamina necessary to be state-ranked and a possible state championship. Closing out the second half, the Hawks find their future rivals to include Invitational Meets, the rough, state-ranked Evanston squad, and sister-school Maine North's Norsemen to roimd out the season.

their nine wins from this year and their six wins from last year's season. Coach Tom Mahon has led the team to its current five wins and no losses in its conference meets. Coach Mahon and the sophomore harriers are hosting New Trier West today. The team beat the New Trier West Cowboys last year; they are aiming to beat the Cowboys in today's race for their sixth conference win. Last Tuesday the sophomore Hawks brought home a shut out from Glenbrook North with a 15 to 50 score. Tom Wright came in first with a time of 10:43 on the approximate two mile course. Following closely behind him were Tom Strelka in second, Dave Senf in third, Mike Bellert in fourth and Ray Miller in fifth. The previous week the Hawks trounced the Niles West Indians and the Niles North Vikings. At Niles West on Oct. 8, the Hawks overcame the Indians by a score of 18 to 42. Wright once again came in first place with a time of 9:44.5. Strelka followed him with second place, Bellert with fourth place, Senf with fifth place and Miller with sixth. On Oct. 6, the sophomore harriers defeated Niles North by a 16 to 47 score. Wright, who came in first and led the team against the Vikings, was followed by Strelka, Bellert, Senf and Miller in second, third, fourth and sixth place respectively. Two weeks ago the sophomore Hawks hosted Deerfield on the home course. They won by shutting out Deerfield, 15 to 50. Wright, Bellert, Strelka, and the rest of the team came in ahead of the Warriors. The freshman harriers are hoping to beat New Trier West today. On Oct. 13 the freshman runners lost to Glenbrook North by a score of 44 to 18. Lance Lechner led the freshman team by placing third. Following him were Bill Pankau in eighth, Scott Murphy, and Tim Conrardy. On Oct. 8 the frosh lost to Niles West by a score of 37 to 19 with Lechner coming in third, Pankau in sixth, Jim Dohn in seventh, and Wells in ninth. Before their two losses the frosh harriers squeezed by Niles North on Oct. 6 by 27 to 28. Lechner, Pankau, Tim Conrardy and Murphy led the Hawks to the win. On Oct. 2 they beat Deerfield at home with a score of J9 to 42.
