New Staff Named On Southwords, Eyrie New Editors for the '73-74 Southwords and Eyrie staffs were announced at the Publiccations Banquet on May 10. Receiving awards were the new Quill and Scroll Society members and winners of Journalism Awards.

Hackney's, in Glen view, was the scene of the banquet where the famous Hackneyburger was served along with other traditional delicacies.

After dinner, members of both staffs and Marian Davis, head of the English Department; Robert Barker, assistant principal, and Robert V. Simonson, assistant principal of students; enjoyed the opening of gifts given to the sponsors. Miss Carol Singer, sponsor of Eyrie, received a heart-throbbing poster of Mark Spitz, a corsage, a bottle of champagne and an irrestible Elvis Presley record.

A conservative brief case and a wild bow tie were given to Mr. Ken Beatty, sponsor of Southwords. It looks Uke our two sponsors are ready to join the jet set.

The presentations of Quill and Scroll pins were made to the following members of Southwords: Ellen Bush '75, Sharon Blattner '73, Priscilla Condon '74, Eileen Dougherty •74, Mollie Meehan '75, Carrie Reckert '75, Nancy Rosone '73, Mary SpUis '74 and Jim Thompson '73.

Journalism Awards were presented to the Eyrie staff members Pete Lannon '73, Anne Mullally '74 and Marie Hagling 74.

Retiring Editor-in-Chief Judy Daly '73, handed her position over to Cindy Sopata '74, with a sigh of regret. Newly-appointed News Editor Carrie Reckert, Features Editor Eileen Dougherty, and News-in-Depth Editor Priscilla Condon will join Cindy in her attempt to perfect Southwords if it's possible to make it any better). Kathy Meuller '74, will take over the job as Editor of Student News Bureau. Mary Spills '74 will act as the newCopy Editor. Dan McGrath '75 and Mary Rebedeau '75 have accepted the tasks of organizing the sports page as Boys' Sports Editor and Girls' Sports Editor.

In charge of the Art/Photo Department is Steve Moorman '74.

To help everyone out is the ef-

ficient Assistant Editor Ellen Bush.

Leaving behind their previous editorships are: Barb Grabowski '73, News; Cindy Sopata, News-in-Depth; Kris Lindgren '73, News Bureau; Mark Mangold '73, Sports: Jim Thompson '73, Photo; Pat Hester '73, Art; and Judy Kranz '73 and Nancy Rosone '73, Assistant.

The '74 Eyrie staff will be under the direction of Co-Editors-in-Chief Julie Sorensen '74 and Donna Thor '74. Layout, Photo, Copy, and ID will be handled respectively by Karen Malin '75, Bill Schalk 74, Cathy Santoro '75, and Gina Trimarco.

Ed Lannon '74, accepted the job as Business Manager from his brother Pete. Editors Jeff Smith '74, Special Events; Marie Haglind '74, Academics; and Rocco Rotunno '74, Activities will assist in keeping the yearbook under control. Phil Cagney '74 and Kathy Sides '75 will organize the .Athletics and Girk' Sports Departments. Combined editorships are Loretta Sauter '74, Music/Publications; Cindy Conway '75, Classes/Honors; and Peggy Ross *76, Administration/Services.

Amy Brinkerhoff '73, Editorin-Chief; Julie Sorensen, Layout; Donna Thor, Photo; Carol Kosick '73, Copy; and B i l l Schalk, ID; are being relieved of their '73 positions. Other editors leaving their jobs are: Pete Lannon, Business Manager; Cathy Krol '74, Special Events; Heidi Hubbell '74, Academics; Rocco Rotunno 74, Athletics; and Loretta Sauter '74, Girls' Sports.

Jeff Smith, Activities; T a n a Larson '74, Music/Publications; Pat Bymne '74, Classes; Gina Trimarco '75, Honors; Marie Haglind 75, Administration; Sue Gregory '73, Services; and Anne Mullally '73 and Claudia Trimarco '73, Seniors; are more names that will be added to Eyrie's list of alumni.

Since many of the retiring editors are seniors, they'll be an.xious to see how their successors manage without them.

But the success of the newspaper and yearbook does not lay totally in the hands of the staffs. If students did not get out and make news, there would be nothing to print. The quality of publications depends on the enthusiasm and participation of the entire student body.

Maine Township High School South, Park Ridge, III. 60068

Karen Second in National Jr. Miss Needless to say, Karen Heidkamp has won second runner-up in 1973's Junior Miss America Pageant. Not only that, but she also received an award for poise and appearance during the preliminary judgings. Altogether she has $5000 toward her college education at Mundelein.

During her two week stay in Mobile, Alabama, Karen was quite busy. Every day, except the first, was taken up with rehearsals and plenty of entertainment and touring. The girls had to learn dance routines not only seen on television but also ones for physical fitness and poise and appearance for the judges. This meant getting up at 5:30 or 6:00 every morning, and usually no one was in bed before midnight.

Quite a few banquets and parties were given in the contestants behalf. The first party was aboard the USS Alabama in Mobile Bay. The girls were given a gun salute and fireworks. Other dinners and banquets were held at local country clubs. Karen particularly remembers the one at Twelve Oaks which was a restored Southern mansion right out of Gone with the Wind. A Mardi Gras parade was also given to honor the contestants. One of the most beautiful places they visited was the Bellingrath Gardens which is acres of flowers, trees, lakes, rivers, flamingos and swans. "There the girls were swarmed with requests for autographs. It was an hour and a half before Karen had signed the last one!

Preliminary judgings were held on the Monday, Tuesday, and Thursday before the televised program. Each girl was judged on poise and appearance, physical fitness, and their own talent. Some of the girls were very sore after rehearsing and performing their routines. Karen thought the dances were hard because of the great concentration needed to remember all the steps.

The televised program didn't seem much different to Karen than the preliminaries since she

Eleven of the 211 entries were published, two being from Maine South. Mary Fritz '73, Karen

Hauber '73. and Jim Seidel '73 received honorable mention for their essays.

The essays were submitted to the magazine by Mr. Daniel Silkowski, who teaches English IV .AP. In a standard theme assignment, the students corn-

pared two short stories.

Members of the Illinois Association of Teachers of English (lATE) receive the Hlinois English Bulletin which is the official publications magazine in Illinois.

"It gives me confidence if 1 ever want to have something published in the future," Roberta replied when asked if she thought she accomplished anything.

Gordon said, "I don't think it shows that I have any special talent, but it lets me know that I can write essays in college."

Mr. Silkowski said he submitted the essays because they were exceptional. He also added, "It spoke very well for the Maine South English Department and for the caliber of students at Maine South."

had been performing in front of cameras all week. The introduction was taped, but everything else was candid — no one had heard any of the questions beforehand.

"You couldn't tell who was going to win," said Karen, "The girl who won (Miss Kansas) wasn't the typical glamour girl either, but more the quiet type.

The judges probably had a good idea who would be the top ten finalist because the telrevisied program didn't have that much in it to be judged — most of it was done during preliminaries."

A surprising thing about the pageant was the strict supervision that the girls were under every second.

"I couldn't go to the washroom, mail my own letter, or get a drink without someone authorized with me," Karen said.

There were chaperones, detectives, chauffeurs, and cadettes everywhere — the police even escorted the contestants to banquets and sightseeing tours.

During her two week stay, Karen roomed with Miss Texas in a beautiful home near the auditorium. All the girls stayed with a family, and many were afraid to leave. Karen said she would miss her friends, but she was glad the pageant was over.

The hard work was very tiring and, in the end, it really didn't matter who won.

"The important thing is that you tried your best," Karen remarked.

This summer Karen plans to get together with some of the girls she met in Mobile.

Christina Pendzich Wins Top U.S. History Title Wednesday, May 9, at the Social Science department's Awards presentation, Christina Pendzich '74 was proclaimed this year's top .American History Scholar. She was selected by a panel of social science teachers from the ten top American History Students in Accelerated and A.P. courses.

As she strode to the podium everything became a "bright blur." Hands were eagerly extended for warm congratulations and whispers of "I knew it would be you" came from every direction. C a m e r a s flashed, and she was presented with a pin from the Daughters of the American Revolution.

Chris worked hard in U.S. Advanced Placement all year

under the omniscient guidance of Mr. Robert Schultz.

"The course was fairly hard, but it emphasized facts rather than ideas," said Chris analytically. "We were very well prepared for the A.P. test."

Chris was very well prepared for U.S. History A.P. after crediting History of Civilization and World History Accelerated to her name. She plans to continue her Social Science studies next year by taking European History A.P. and Anthropology.

Noting the over-abundance of historians, Chris has decided to become a linguist. At graduation she will have completed four years of Spanish and a year of French. She is at present uncertain of where she shall go to college.

Students Display Artwork

by Pat Hester '73 The fifth annual outdoor Art Fair, "Art 'round the Lake," was held Sunday by the Maine South Art Club and the Art department.

The lakefront area was filled with display booths from the high school artists along with demonstrations on the potter's wheel, flower-making, photography, and batiking, Sipiificant factors contributing to the success of the art fair were the 85 degrees and sunny weather and an all-around enthusiasm by exhibitors and spectators alike.

One of the major attractions was the day-long entertainment.

String quartets, country-western groups, folk singers, and recordings of oldies but goodies were included in the entertainment line-up.

The roving clowns clowning around with the kids and selling balloons were colorful additions to the day.

The Art Fair was opened to all interested high school students. A jury of artists from the Art Institute presented award ribbons to some of the outstanding student works. Receiving top recognition for their various achievements were Peter Peavoy, drawing; Laurie Pohlop, painting; Sherry Sell, printmaking; Pat Hester, ce-

ramics; and Kathy Danderand, sculpture.

Other first place winners included Debbi Rosen, mixed media, and Richard Cox, black and white photography.

Besides the students and parents having a great time, the entire teaching staff experienced a welcome change from their classroom activities.

Mr. Frederick Bacon, art teacher, buzzed around, surveying the scene as well as the art work. Miss Sophie Pechinos, art teacher, found nothing but praise for the photo club sun visors.

Mr. Philip Dunn, the photo club sponsor, helped members set up a special picture booth for some amusing Polaroid snapshots.

Mr. Richard Mastrolonardo, Art Club sponsor, kept busy weeks before making pwsters and decorations to help make this one of the most successful events of the year for the art students, faculty and parents.

A special thanks is well in order to Mr. Joseph Stilp, Art department chairman, for the fine guidance and experienced direction he contributed to the fair activities.

On the artistic side of the table, students sized up other students, prospective buyers, and the refreshment stand.

Shown above is the age-old question: What is better, recognition or monetary award? Any of you i<ids got a wallet?

Put Down Your Twinkle and Read This Editorial Sitting there munching on his fish and chips, pizzaburger, and jello, the average student doesn't realize the effort we dummies on staff put out to create an issue of Southwords.

"I visited one other school, Homewood - Flossmoor, which was much like Maine South," Hilario continued. "There were no study halls, no passes, forty minutes for lunch, and a smoking lounge."

"I feel the course selection here is great. There is much variety, good materials, movies, and other electronic devices to offer to students. I've never had this before," Hilario mentioned.

When asked his opinion of the people of Park Ridge, Hilario said, "The people here are different. They have different goals and spend their time in different ways. The people in Portugal are more grateful for what they have."

While normal people sit back and wait for another issue (are we dreaming?), Southwords students are roaming the hallways, ferreting out news. These students have special talents; they have learned to eke a story out of the most hesitant teacher, quiet administrator, and monosyllabic student.

With these talents, along with renewed aspirations, the Southwords staff is expecting 73-74 to be a great year.

Next year we'd like to see more unity among Southwords, the various student activities, and the student body.

Southwords cannot be an entity onto itself. A true newspaper never is. We want to be aware of everybody's activities. We want t9 print everj'body's activities.

In addition to appealing to the student body as one huge glob for news, we hope to foster closer relations with activities people. When a group of students are busy, we hope the club or organization president secretary/member can visit V-107 and let us in on the secret. Free publicity seldom hurts.

Teachers and administrators are similarly invited to mention story ideas. We know your class is doing something out there.

As always, Southwords opens its editorial page to guest columnists and letter-to-the-editor writers. Our scarcity of letters to the editor this year has led the staff to conclude that either our public can't write, or everybody died and we've been too busy to notice. If you're alive and thinking out there in cafeteria-land, prove it.

Drop into Southwords with an idea. Very few staff members are dangerous, and those few we usually keep chained under the typewriters anyway.

Need Suggestions for After-Prom? Look Here Prom is a tradition. Along vrith prom is the traditional prom weekend. It consists of the prom dance, dinner before or afterward, and an outing the next day. For those who are going, and still haven't decided what to do, there are a few suggestions for dinner and the outing.

Dinner needen't be expensive.

There is always McDonalds or Plush Pup, however if you'd like to spend a little more, here are a few suggestions. In the area, is Seven Eagles, the Marriott

and Hyatt House. The Hyatt House is nice and reasonable, depending on which restaurant you dine at. It also has a nice lobby to sit in and talk if you don't know what to do next and don't want to get home too early.

Good Table located on Harlem has good food. The Brass Rail is also nice. If you like Mexican food. La Chaza in Rogers Park is the place to go. If you'd prefer something different and good food, try Casa la Cave on Mannheim.

If you'd like entertainment with dinner, Johnnie Held's Brow^n Bear on Devon and Clark has excellent food with a German-American cusine.

After Hours is nice if you like elegance. Almost any place downtown is nice, however Mr. Kelley's offers a special prom package of dinner and entertainment.

If your problem isn't dinner, but where to go the next day, you might go to the beaches in either in Illinois, Indiana, or Wisconsin.

If possible it is expecially nice if you go early in the morning and stay until night, if it is a nice day. Other ideas are a picnic or the zoo. Sailing is nice, too. If you're really lucky and

happen to have a yacht, go yachting. The most important thing is to do something both of you want to do, and have a good time.

Cheryl Andersen '73 was recently elected president of the Illinois chapter of Children of the American Revolution (CAR).

CAR is a youth service organization that works for the good of the country. Cheryl stated, "The only requirement is that you have an ancestor that was in the American Revolution and be able to prove it."

CAR has many projects for helping the Indians. They put on fund-raising activities and have built schools for the Indians with the money they raise. Cheryl added, "From the Betty Crocker coupons that we coUectod, we were able to feed one school for a whole year."

They also build schools in the mountains for children who normally would not be able to go to school because of the long travel distance.

Each year CAR stages a national project. Cheryl mentioned, "This year we are working, with the government, on an endangered species program."

CAR tries to work with the government, and, at the same time, learn as much about the way our country is run as they can.

ing is Kalinnikov's "Finale" for antiphonal brass choirs, during which trumpet players from the cadet band will be playing from the top of the bleachers. The Concert Choir Ensemble, singing with the band, will perform a Gershwin medley, which includes "Embraceable You" and "I Got Rhythm."

Stage Band will present the Blood, Sweat, and Tears arrangement of "God Bless the Child." A definite highlight in the concert will be the performing of Maynard Fergy Groziak's arrangement of "Shaft." Stage Band solos include drum solos

by Lynne Frystak and Dave Walker and improvised solos by Bob Kuntz on tenor saxophone and Bob Schmidt on trombone.

Mr. McLean sees this pops concert as a "different approach to concert performance. We hope to make it entertaining and an evening of fun instead of just another concert."

Although marching band will play in the Memorial Day Parade, Saturday w-ill be the

band's last concert of the year and the last performance for some seniors in band, who seem excited about this new approach to a concert.

Rachel Dorman commented, "People will be more relaxed while they're listening because it's not in the conforming style of an audience in an auditorium. I hope everyone will come, because it's going to be a good concert."

Nancy Lohuis explained, "I think it's a good idea because it provides interesting and new ways to present our concert selections. I'm glad Mr. McLean is receptive to new ideas."

Bill Tandy added, "Don't miss the stage band."

Bob Nowak feels that "nonmusic lovers will enjoy it because of its relaxed and informal atmosphere."

Lynne Frystak concluded, "In all my years at Maine South, this is the best band."

Myron Kaminsky '74 found the backbone of what might have been a catfish weighing about fifteen pounds.

This site has also produced interesting finds, such as the skeleton of the first domesticated dog, and the red paintdusted skeleton of a two-yearold infant. Both of these finds are dated approximately 5100 B.C. The students who went did some of their own excavating and collected artifacts found on the surfaces.

James Kluza '74 found flint chips which he said were used by pre-historic people. Kevin Lorcnz found clam shells, more flint chips, and the bones of deer that were at the foot of Koster Site.

Another site visited was the Hartwee Cemetery where the prehistoric inhabitants buried their dead between 400 and 600 A.D. The students were amazed to see a number of skeletons that had not been removed.

The group proceeded to the headquarters of the archaeological excavation in Kampsville, Illinois. Normally, a fivemile trip, it took more than two hours due to the extensive flood damage and destruction of bridges. When the group did finally reach their destination they found a major disaster area. Half of the city was under water, including the entire archaeological facilities.

Varsity Baseball Ends .500 The varsity baseball team ended their trying season with a respectable .500 record of 9-9 in all-around competition. A 6-6 conference mark was good enough to place the varsity in third place of the CSL south division.

After a seven game losing streak in the first half of the season, the Hawks fought back to win 6 of their last 7 conference contests. "The attitude in the second half of the season was very good," stated coach George Verber.

"1 had to bring up two sophomores midway in the season and they proved themselves weU," stated coach Verber about Pat Morrison and Joe Pagone. After an injury put senior outfielder Jim Lyons out of commission for the rest of the season, Mr. Verber brought up Morrison. Morrison did his job by batting a hefty .471 in just 7 games. Pagone filled in at third base while jimior Kip Zdeb moved to shortstop. Pagone batted .375 for his 9 games played.

"Senior Mark Rulle had the big bat in the 2nd half of the season for us," commented coach Verber of Mark's big hits during the Hawks' mid-season comeback.

The season for Maine ended last Friday at Niles East when South edged the Trojans 2-1 on a three hitter by John "Klipper" Klippstein. The lanky sopohomre hurler threw his fifth win of the season. Joe Pagone led off the sixth with a single, followed by a fielder's choice by Kip Zdeb. Junior Paul Jelinek

pinch ran for Pagone and scored on a grounder by Mark RuUe. South went down in defeat to Luther North in the opening game of the Ridgewood District, 7-1. Luther North struck for 4 runs off loser Dave Patterson in the first inning, sparked by a three run homer by Luther North's left fielder. South got their only run in the third when Pagone led off with a single, foUowed by a sacrifice

by Morrison to advance Pagone to second. Jerry Jones then followed with a single to score Pagone.

The Luther North loss knocked Maine out of the comnetition for the state championship.

South crushed ilaine East 4-2 after defeating Niles East in the last week of April to start their "new season" of wins. Highland Park was the next victim on coach Verber's list of teams to beat. The Little Giants attempted a comeback in the top of the seventh with the Hawks ahead 6-2. but were unable to beat the varsity, South holding on for a 6-5 victory.

The next day at Deerfield it was bat day for South who kicked the Warriors off the field with a 10-3 bombing, sparked by two Maine South homers. The first came in the opening inning when switch-hitter Mark Rulle belted one over the left field fence. Mark knocked another pitch off the right field fence for ^. double the next time up, batting from the other side of the plate.

Jerry Jones slammed his first homer of the year in the third

inning, capping a 10-3 victory for South behind the strong pitching of Dave Patterson.

Dave finished the year with a respectable 2.59 Earned Run Average behind team leader John Klippstein who had a 1.82 ER.^ and a 5-2 won-loss record.

Frosh-Soph Coach of Year Award; Van Proyen, Ziemek, Share Honors

by Dan M c G r a t h , sports editor

Mr. Tom Ziemek and Mr. Glen VanProyen, members of Maine South's Physical Education Department, have been named co-winners of "Non-Varsity Coach of the Year" honors. Well over three hundred Maine South students participated in the poll conducted by members of the SOUTHWORDS Sports staff. Mr. George Verber and Mr. Tom Higgins fared especially well in the poll.

The winners were chosen from a qualified field of 10 freshmen and sophomore coaches, representing 8 sports.

The only requirement was that a nominee be the head coach of a freshman or sophomore team. The 2 coaches each polled about 20 percent of the vote of the students questioned. Due to the proximity of the figures, Mr. VanProyen and Mr. Ziemek were declared co-winners.

Mr. Ziemek coached the Freshmen 'A' football squad to an unblemished record of 7 wins and 0 losses. The squad took conference and divisional honors ahead of Maine West.

Coach Ziemek is noted for his almost exclusive ground game and stalwart defenses. Ziemek's greatest attributes are his toughness and determination, his sense of humor, and his ability to gain the respect of his players. Ziemek has been an influential factor in the development of many of Maine South's outstanding athletes.

Coach VanProyen led the sophomore football team to a division winning record of 7 wins and 1 loss. A long time coach in Maine Township, VanF*royen has fielded many fine teams. The sophomore team may not have been the best South has fielded, but certainly the most inspired. Mr. VanProyen is perhaps best known for his pre-game talks, which are usually presented in stories. Some of Mr. VanProyen's other abilities are his sincerity, fairness, and his ability to instill confidence and poise. No one leaves Mr. Van Proyen without the feeling that he has learned and experienced something special. â&#x20AC;˘ Credit is due to outgoing editor Mark Mangold for his excellent in-depth coverage of basketball this year.

Coach Ron Ross, head coach, commented, "The Maine schools are relatively weak, the toughest competition comes from the northern suburban schools, such as the Glenbrooks, Deerfield, and New Trier." When asked why the area is weak, R o s s added, "Most probably it is because of a lack of a Park District course for the Maine community."

At the conference meet at Village Green Country Club last Monday, South finished a poor tenth. Glenbrook North won the meet with a low score of 305,

followed by New Trier West.

Rob Stigglemann and Gary Katz were the low shooters for Maine with scores of 81 and 79, respectively. Steve Ebert shot a good score of 84.

About Rob Stigglemann, "he was the first one in the last 4 years to advance from districts from Maine South. One of the top five, he ended up in the middle at the sectional, where he shot an 85."

Freshmen Ray Becker was one of the team's top players.

"It was a very pleasant surprise to have a freshmen shoot that well. He was one of the low 4 scorers in every meet, except conference, " added Ross.

As to future teams, Ross staled, "The boys will be playing in summer tourneys a n d with practice they should increase their poise and confidence."
