SOUTHWORDS

W e , the Senior Class, Do Hereby Bequeath...

I, Judith Daly, being of debatable mind and equally unstable body do hereby will to next year's editor-in-chief Cindy Sopata, the paperback How to Stay Out of Court with the hope that she'll finally be able to satisfy her mischievous mind.

Also, by her request, a plaque will be donated to decorating the dark room wall in remembrance of my experiences. To Mr. Ken Beatty I leave yet another bottle of hair coloring in an tmbreakable container, so no one can blame the new crop of grey on me! Sorry! Finally, I leave my incog, straight as an arrow reputation to anyone who has enough stamina and ingenuity to keep it.

We, the FTA officers, Kathie Palumbo, Jan Raddatz, and Ann Angsten, being of sound mind and lazy bodies, do hereby bequeath to next year's officers the book entitled How To Get Through An Entire Year Without Lifting a Finger.

I, Jean Katz, being of unstable mind, do hereby leave the following: a copy of all cheat sheets, term papers and blank passes to my sister Sue, a three year supply of Juicy Fruit gum for Hank Jones, and a cinnamon sweet roll for the first period lounge ladies.

To Gay Thompsen and Karen Amtzen, I leave my calendar of remaining days, minutes, periods, hours and seconds for their senior year. To Stuart Weber I leave a list of prospective clients for next year's M.C.ing; and for incoming freshmen in C-129, I leave Mr. Dickey for exciting homeroom periods. To the rest of the school, I very happily leave.

From the once intellectual, and now buzzed minds of Paula Petersen and Cathy Hanch — In the midst of bitter confusion of the mind, and total decrepitation of the body, we have but one thing to leave to our school — our sanity. Amen.

I, Cindy Busse, leave my TriM candy and smelly marching band socks, which have been sitting in my band locker all year to my frosh sister, Carol.

To Judy Govemile I will all my broken lab equipment and scientific skill and knowledge for good luck in her i^ysics class next year.

We, the ^ g a l i n g sisters of first semester sixth period government seminar, do hereby will four beautifully done city plans ai.d one pack of Compoz to the youngest (or was it oldest?) and sexiest teacher this side of the secret service. Yea Keith, you son of a gun! P.S. We hope this didn't go over your head like a flock of geese.

I, Joan Eastland, being of slow mind and chubby body, do hereby will one shorthand book and lots of luck to Gina Consentino who will now assume my two-year position as Mr. Deiter's most annoying student.

We, Sue Depke, Florence Troetter and Pat Travers, be-

D«partm«nt Award Language Ermilo Berrera

ing of warped minds and bodies to match, leave to Mr. Piana's independent study Spanish III class, our new Spanish books that still crack when they open, and a book of excuses \rtiy you need an A like: "I won't get into college without one."

I, Mark Mangold, being of proof-read body and Sportsworded mind, leave the sports editorship to Dan McGrath. I leave Dan tea style books and a pile of layout sheets that were slaved over for a multitude of hours. 1 also leave Dan the inspiration and fortitude to listen to Miss Pierce after every publication of South words.

I, Herbert John Uallberg J r . being of reasonably sound mind and body, do hereby leave to anyone lucky enough to find them, all my 15 cent blue Bic medium point pens, numbering into the thousands, which I have lost in the last four years.

I, S. Karl Shalk Esq., being of sound mind and body do hereby bequeath my wit and wisdom of backstage terminology to Mr. Martello to pass on to some unsuspecting soph.

Me, Ann Torp, being of straight-as-an-arrow mind and quivering body, do hereby bequeath the physical education department's thirty-five pound bow, the deadly Moriarity I to Bobbi Even and Ellen Wilhelm so that they can never say they didn't have a boyfriend. To Mr. Rosetti, 1 leave my bound copies of William F. Buckley and Gore Vidal's comments and page 364 of Warriner's!

I, Donna Markus, being of chlorinated mind, shriveled body and jello bones, do hereby bequeath to all Marlins following in my drips, the extreme joy and privilege of watching lines and keeping time each week while swimming in Maine South's refreshingly brisk ice water.

I, Naydine Kirlluk, being of somewhat questionable mind, do hereby bequeath; two run-down spatter brushes and a nest of cockroaches to the backstage painting crew; the book 2001 Insults For Every Occasion to the artistically inclined Mr. Faulhaber; a package of plastic forks to junior Tim Bopp with the intention of him saving steps between his sandwich and dessert during 6B lunch; and to Jerolyn Crist and Holly Stohl, I leave best wishes in the hope that they have better luck with the varsity basketball team next year.

We, Diane Rortvedt and Stacy Nelson, being new to Maine South this year, will Southern and English accents to any new kids who move here next year and need something to label them as new.

1, Patrick Sheehan, being of sound mind and bod? Well, anyway "Ich Lasse meine schlauen Bemerkungen iibrig fur Fran Schultz, unsere lieben Deutsch-

Department Award Mathematics Jim Seidel

lehrerin. Se helfen mich Gott"!

I, Craig Johnson, being of almost but not quite sound mind and body, do hereby bequeath: to Roy Haglund I leave Kim Grave's exciting red, white and blue machine and Mr. Mahon's tailor. To Mr. Mahon I leave four ties, ranging in width from one-half to three-fourths inches.

To Mrs. Spengler 1 leave a dozen red roses to be held between the teeth while dancing on tables. To Mr. Dickey I leave Mr. Craddock; to Mr. Craddock, I leave Mr. Dickey.

And finally, to Miss Wright I leave a 45 rpm copy of her favorite song, "Lucy in the Sky With Diamonds."

I, Joe Hermes, willingly will with woe and wanton wickedness another yawning year of weary washroom watching to that chief Potty Patroller Mr. Mahon.

I, Joan Condon, formally bequeath my priceless copy of the elevator key to my froshy brother John. I know it can be a real rough hike up to the third floor and I hope he uses the key with the same discretion I did every day. Then, to my sister Priscilla, I leave my seldom used Spanish III book in hopes that she gets twice as much use out of it as I did.

But twice times nothing is still nothing! Oh well, it's got to be someplace under this dust!

I, Kris Lindgren, being of lumpy body and spacious mind, leave to the "powers" the five bags of toilet paper used in the latest decorating project.

To Cathy Mueller, I leave my laziness on News Bureau. To next year's magazine staff, a list of 50 unused titles plus 10 extra stories and a $1.56 profit.

To the independent study classes, I leave a seat in third period lounge with my sure fire "how to write a paper the night before it's due" methods. To Monsieur Igelman, a dictionary of racy French words for all the times we weren't supposed to understand the story.

And to the girl next year with the stupidity to go after anything she can get her grubby hands on, 1 leave my undying passion for the basketball team plus manager, one swimmer.

4 soccer players and one science brain.

Finally, to Mr. Miniknicker, I leave $1.06 for half a McD's hamburger. To Miss Voelz. I leave five gym socks and one used football guide that 1 never read. Finally, to the renowned Mr. Ken Beatty. I just leave.

I. Lisa L. Grant, being of dippy mind and spastic body, do hereby bequeath all leftover props to Meg Thillan, my cohead of the Senior Class play.

We, Joan Werderitch and Laura Crowl, in sound mind and body, do hereby bequeath to the 5.\ head librarian, Tim Bopp, our crumpled up, un-

Department Award Music Tana Larson

signed library cards. We will miss all your basketball tales, Tim, and wish you luck in the games next year. We also would like to tell you right now that we believe you are 176 pounds (but only of pure muscles!) No doubt has ever entered our minds that you weighed less!

Good luck and so long!

I, Katy Davlin, being of depraved mind and deprived body do hereby bequeath: To Edward, that monstrous Pooh suit and a pot of honey.

To Sally Wallace, I leave all my love and prayers, especially during the first week of December and the last weeks of May. I also bequeath the lovable cockroach in the upstairs prop room that 1 almost sat on to Taco and bequeath Charleton the Mummy Case to Becky Bufort.

To Mr. Spear, one autographed picture of Deborah Kerr and a charmin' Irish dialect. To Mr. Kenneth Faulhaber I bequeath three sneezes and a disruptive giggle. To Mr. C. I leave my leftover supply of tuna fish, clam juice, peanut butter and pickled rattlesnake, and to Mr. M. 1 bequeath Miss Preen's nurse cap with wishes for the best of health as I leave to work in that munitions factor>'.

Finally, I leave best wishes and a sincere thank you to all those kind-hearted custodians who do an excellent job and have always lent a helping hand.

"Tootles."

We. Cheryl Larson, alias the piddle, Patty Meyer, alias Ms. Bra and Debra Manika, alias Manifats, being of battered minds and bodies do hereby bequeath to good ol' South: Twenty-some rolls of toilet paper, three oxygen masks for the washrooms, hours of juicy gossip in 2B History Resource Center, one sex test, made by the "threesome in crime" guaranteed to top any other sex test around, a complete set of extremely forward cuts to give to any annoying friend, pep talks on how to catch and hold on to "Mr. Wonderful of the Week", the right pivot method demonstrated by Mrs. Burger, Clothing 111 teacher, and the numerous sleazy things we've gotten away with at South that no one will ever know!

We. Susan Lonze and Jean LeMay, the illustrious twosome, being of spacy minds and supcr-spacy bodies, do hereby bequeath to our brave and unflinching English instructor Mr. Daniel "Silk" Silkowski, two lifetime passes to the Patio Theater so that he may forever be able to spy on his unsuspecting students who are innocently pursuing wholesome recreation(?).

To our favorite government

Department Award Boys' Physical Ed John Angerane

teacher, Mr. Kenneth Faulhaber, we bequeath a book of puns for all occasions that he may never run out of witticisms, at least not until the cows come home.

To our friends in the drivered department, we leave a supply of unsharpened red pencils, a teacher's manual with all the wrong answers and a desk organizer for Mr. Romes. And finally to our counselor, the ever-witty Mr. Drummond, we leave peace and quiet.

I, Debi Manika, being of overripe body and senile mind after performing the wide-ranging tasks of senior class president, leave to Mr. Andersen and Miss Barr plenty of left-over bid lassies that I'm sure next year's senior class council can use on their prom bids and lots of luck — which 1 know you'll need — for the many upcoming sock hops and other new things the next senior class will cook up for "enjoyment."

To next year's senior class president, I leave plenty of Excedrin headaches, sleepless nights of Leroy, various odd phone calls, crabby words, temper tantrums and all the other various things that go with the "honor" of being called president and other niceties.

To my buddy, supervisor, and all-around cry-on-the-shoulder friend Mr. Simonson I leave — pleading as usual — the hope that next year's council won't be so gung-ho for an immediate change of activities (sock hops included) like we pulled, me especially, on you all year.

Maybe next year's superlatives will start off with Ms. Braless after all.

P.S. To Paul Jelinek I leave All You Ever Wanted to Know about Maine South Girls . . • But Were Afraid to Ask. Good luck!!

We, Kris Lindgren, Nancy Rosone and Sharon Blattner, being of various bodies and dittoed minds, leave one mutilated electric typewriter to next year's News Bureau staff. To next year's photo editor, Steve Moorman, we leave a spare key to the darkroom when somebody takes the other one.

To Southwords' great white father, Mr. Ken Beatty, we leave Sharon's distinctive laugh, Nancy's ability not to show up for Southwords and Kris' famous plaintive cry, "Mr. Beatty, can 1 please be editor of the Crcalive Writing Magazine?"

And to Cathy Mueller, next year's News Bureau Editor, we leave one slightly used ditto machine and five reams of Maine Township High School South stationery to use in constructing super-sonic airplanes.

And to Dr. Watson, we leave three copies of this will!

Your Graduation Present-A Word To the Wise!

by Mike Springston '73 TEACHER: What do you want to be when you grow up, Jimmy?

JIMMY: I want to be the scarecrow from the Wizard of Oz. TEACHER: But Oz does not exist.

JIMMY: In that case I want to be President of the United States.

(Genesis II, 17; 12-18).

of slouching, but not the senior class. They have to start making plans for the future. Graduation time has a tendency to fog the graduates mind with optimism, idealism, and dreams of grandeur pumped into his brain at every turn. How much optimism each individual is entitled to have, though, is hard to say.

"Everybody wants to find a Holy Grail, but there aren't enough for everybody. That is why people settle down and go to work," (Ben Z. Dream, from the movie "Gidget and the Graduates").

Most students in Maine South are very fortunate in that this school is primarily interested in preparing the student for college. In many cases this allows a student an extra four years before he has to commit himself to the future.

Don't do today what you can put off till tomorrow. (.Anonymous parody of the famous adage).

And so graduate, when all about you are losing their heads, these helpful hints will help you keep yours.

1. Put yourself in a frame of

mind that will help you forget the advice you are bound to get from every adult who finds out that you are a graduate.

2. Go to every graduation party you can. This will help put you in the aforementioned frame of mind.

3. Treat every adult you meet

Hawkettes Selected

During the week of May 7-11, the annual selection of Hawkettes took place. The girls were judged on four main categories: personality, overall appearance, pep and coordination.

On Wednesday, May 16, the Hawkettes held their first meeting and elected next year's officers. The new captain is Cathy Donovan '74, and co-captains are Donna Thor '74, Cathy Bottalla '74, and SaUy McAuliff '74.

Next year's treasurer will be Cindy Males '74 and secretary will be Chris Laz '74. The only sophomore officer is Becky Pruess '75 as historian.

The historian's job is to make all the posters and to keep the annual scrapbook.

"I feel the newly-elected officers are fully capable of their

positions and should do a great job," remarked Debby Frey '75.

Miss Bobrich, sponsor, with the captain and the co-captains is in charge of making up dances and costumes.

The Hawkettes have already started practicing Tuesday through Friday.

"Kids think that pom pon is all glory, but practicing dances and sewing all our cost'tmes is really a lot of work," stated Chris Laz '74.

The girls will practice during the summer. Each new girl is assigned a "big sister," someone who's been on pom pon for at least one year, to teach them all of the routines.

During the last two weeks in August, the Hawkettes wall practice every night from 7 to 9

Shortwords

Thanks' To All Judy One year and thirteen columns ago, my editor assigned me this column. At first, I had no idea what to say. I decided to write about the lack of student involvement. My goals then and now were not only to express my feelings on student activities and issues, but also to encourage students to get involved.

Despite what most students think, school really is a pretty nice place. The teachers are friendly, if you give them a chance. Courses should be interesting, especially since you have 80 many to choose from. School offers not only an education, an excellent one at that, but a chance to get involved in almost any type of activity. What school offers as many diverse activities, anything from theater to sports and to career clubs.

School offers not only book learning. You have the opportunity to learn about and understand people. Learning is struggling over the molecular formula of 1,3 dimethyal penene or skiing down an intermediate slope for the first time. Learning is living.

I've learned much in my four years at Maine South. I've learned that the excellent teachers here are concerned about the students. There are also many nice people here. I'd like to thank Maine South for everything and all the happiness it has given to me. I'd especially like to thank Southwords for what I hope will be the beginnig of my journalism career.

Thanks, Maine South and everyone reading this column.

The national competition, held in Albuquerque, May 5-8, was the final step for Debbie. To run for a national office, the girls had to take a written test concerning the constitution and formation of O.E.A. They were interviewed by last year's officers about why they think they deserve the office and what they plan to do if elected.

The campaigning was also an important part of the contest.

Marge, running against another girl, had to make speeches and spread her name in order to secure as many votes as possible.

The greatest honor that can be given to a staff member, to have her name engraved on the radio plaque hung in Mrs. Benjamin's office, was awarded to Karen Hauber '73.

While Gary was receimg his award Mrs. Benjamin announced to all the other staff members that Gary would be next year's Program Director here at WMTH — South.

"My job is mainly to promote the name of O.E.A, throughout the year," Marge commented.

During his senior year, Al served as Student Council parliamentarian. His job entailed keeping attendance records and maintaining order at meetings.

Al took on the job as ticket sales manager for V-Show. The Bahamas trip, arranged with a travel agency through Student Council, was also planned and organized with much of Al's help. The paper drive, which unfortunately earned a disappointing $2, was handled by Al, who ordered pick-up trucks, managed paper contributions and ran last minute spot checks.

Although the Campus Life music group, Under New Management was vetoed by the student body, Al advocated and got a referendum for one last try to get the group at South.

After some hard pushing, the group appeared, winning approval among many of the students.

Ken Beatty Everyone, once during many years of schooling, has had one teacher that really knows his business. Southwords staff has had that kind of teacher in Mr. Ken Beatty, sponsor of this paper.

We can't even count all the times Mr. Beatty has pulled us through in rough times, smiled when all late copy finally comes in the day we go to print and corrected most of our uncaught errors.

And Mr. Beatty knows his business, that's for sure. He's been teaching journalism for umpteen years, and has sponsored quite a few Ail-American papers.

He's always there to help, but never insists on doing it "his way". We think that's rather unique.

Southwords' unsung hero is Mr. Ken Beatty, and we think that it's also about time that he received some recognition.

'America Loves a Winner/' The Same True at South?

by Joe Paschen '73 In the opening scene in the award winning movie, Patton, the great general is depicted as saying "Americans love a winner and won't stand for a loser."

How true is this statement today?

In high school sports, interest is falling steadily. The interest isn't disappearing among the watchers, but among the doers.

The high school society of jocks is steadily decreasing.

You know, the kid who stUl wears wingtips to school and does nothing, but participates in sports day in and day out. That short haired kid with the straight pants and isolated social life has been the sterotype "jock". No more is this kind to be found.

Seniors Tell Views on Prom: Is Prom Worth Effort, Expense

by Judy Kranz '73 Tuxes, gowns, $8.50 corsages — is prom worth the effort and expense? As usual, the present seniors have conflicting opinions on prom, describing the dance as everything from "a nrulestone of senior year" to "a falsified idea."

Most students questioned tended to like at least one aspect of prom. Glenna Chance '73, for example, spoke very favorably of prom. "Though this may seem trite, prom is the last opportunity to be together with your feUow students, and it should be lots of fun. It's really nice if you can double with your friends."

Sally Poyer '73 believes, "Prom won't be obsolete as long as students think it's special.

Those students who have dated each other all year really will always look forward to it."

"Prom is a tradition. Not only is it something to do, but it is a milestone of your Senior year and your life. Girls especially look forward to it," stated Karen Peterson '73.

According to Paula Tolan, Prom has always been here and will stay because it's so much of a tradition. Students feel good to be able to dress up and do something special. It would be better, though, if something else

had been planned, like a dinner or some type of Saturday affair. Some schools in Chicago have planned picnics, parties or a Senior trip."

"Everyone should go to prom because it's one of the last things you do as a Senior. Girls have the wrong idea in thinking you should only go to it with someone you know well and have gone out with. You should go to have fun. Prom still has the same prestige, feeling, excitement and formality as when our parents went." explained Mark Mangold '73.

Jane Rad '73 feels, "Girls expect too much of the guy during the prom weekend. She expects to be taken out afterwards, the next day too, and spent a lot of money on. It's mean and unfair to expect so much from a guy. It would be better if there was a large class party afterwards where everyone could get together, have fun and still stay out late. You can always go to a night club or something, while prom may be the last time you'll see your friends and classmates."

Manv students questioned feel that this coming Senior Prom will be one of the better proms Maine South has had. One such person is Linda Clemens who said, "Prom this year sounds

Why is it then that a potentially winning football team ended their season with a 3-4-1 record. .\ state bound basketball team lost in sectionals? Some say the coaches are to blame. .Are they really?

A senior pole vaulter states that, "too many coaches get down on you for losing, instead of keeping your confidence alive by helping with your problem."

Another senior who has played his share of basketball says, "too much emphasis is put on winning and not just on having fun." A junior halfback and exMVP on freshman baseball, states that "There's not enough fun and the coaches make it all seem too professionalized."

Athletic Director B e r n i e Brady, explains that some kids will play harder for some coaches and others won't."

A senior soccer player feels, "there's less respect for coaches now." .A student council head feels sports are too structured and the coaches don't leave enough leeway for enjoyment." A football player and ex-baseball player feels, "coaches too often coach just the sport and not the players."

But let's get down to the nitty gritty of this subject. Why arc there fewer boys coming out for sports now-a-days. or simply, why is there a lack of interest in participating in organized sports today?

Mr. Brady, as well as others, agree that jobs are a big factor.

Our affluent society has molded this new kind of athlete, but not into a lesser person. Sporting events have never been more exciting nor have they been more talented than they are today. Why? Fun and winning are combined to make sports successful.

football player and ex-wrestler was. "why spend all your free time practicing on a sport when you can be having fun elsewhere."

Another football player sharply replied, "maybe some enjoy themselves through sports."

Football coach Phil Hopkins thinks yesterday's winning attitude is missing from most people today. "Many boys will quit when things get tough, and thus not achieve success."

But success is different than winning, says the popular English teacher and coach. ".Anyone can win at something, but to achieve success you have to work hard until that success is gained." Mr. Hopkins agrees that personal sacrifices keep boys from practicing hard to win.

Will this lack of interest result in cutbacks of coaches and money for sporting activities in the future? Mr. Schmidt feels this lack of interest won't last long. "The younger kids coming up seem more dedicated than in the past." A senior football player and ex-basketball player says, "it seems our class (73) has been getting less and less buys coming out every year. But there's a trend coming back to where the interest is rising again."

Let's look at this in another sense. What about the glory involved in playing a sport? Mr. Hopkins feels, "too many boys come out to simply gain an identity with his peers and then quit when the work gets tough."

A sophomore three-sport man says he won't go out for football next year because, "it isn't worth the hard work and time, and get no recognition for what an athlete may deserve."

This same athlete admits that, "I just won't sit on the bench again and not start."

Mr. Schmidt replies to this statement by saying, "high school boys are at a disadvantage by getting only a numeral or letter, while in junior high school and grammar school they received trophys and awards by the dozens."

What is winning and success all about though? Is it a trophy and letter, or is it the proud feeling of knowing you were successful by being a winner.

Everyone has successful potential and a winning attitude, but success and winning are like a bad odor, it's there but doesn't always show.

There will always be sport's and there will always be athletes to play those sports and fans to watch those athletes. And yes. there will always be that attitude. Call it what you want, success or winning, because like life, neither will ever leave us as long as there is a world to live in. Someone once said, "there are just two kinds of people, winners and losers."

Well, this IS wrong. Everyone is their own kind of winner in their own.sense, no matter what the interest is, or how deep that interest lies.

MVP's Announced by '73 Teams Jerry Jones Since his sophomore year, Jerry Jones proved to be a vital part of the "Big Red Basketball Team," here at Maine South.

During his sophomore year, Jones stood at 6-3 which made him the second tallest man on the starting five. Jerry promptly used this advantage to become the team's leading rebounder and second leading scorer.

In the course of the next two seasons Jerry put on another inch and added 900 more points to bring his career total to well over 1200 points, the most ever scored on a varsity level at South.

Jerry was an All-Central Suburban League choice for all three of his varsity seasons and this year captured the league MVP award. " The past two seasons Jerry was also voted to the Chicago Daily News Prep All-Area â&#x20AC;˘ squad, while receiving these honors he was also voted to the East Aurora Holiday All Tournament squad both years that the Hawks played in it.

Jerry is still rather undecided about his choice of colleges but has a leaning toward Western Illinois University, where he hopes to play both basketball and baseball next year.

Jim Lyons Jim Lyons was a member of the Varsity Football and Baseball squads for all four of his high school years.

The talented senior was bestowed quite an honor this season as he captured MVP honors in both sports.

He lead the football team to a better record than anybody had expected them to achieve and he also helped the baseball team comeback after a faltering slump. * Jim plans to attend Eastern Illinois University next fall where he will continue his baseball playing and take a major in Liberal Arts.

Mike Caroll Mike Carroll '73, the track team's MVP, will be missed by his fellow team-mates next year and he will probably miss them.

But, he is looking to the future now. Mike is planning to attend Northern Illinois University next

year, but he doesn't plan to start with the track team because he wants to donate his time to football.

Finally, when asked what his biggest thrill in track was this year, he concluded, "I guess the biggest thrill I had was when I won indoor track."

Jim Schiffer Also an important part of the varsity track team, Jim Schiffer has won the distinction of being this year's senior MVP of the cross-country team.

Jim was almost always one of the top two finishers for Maine South, usually sharing the top spot with Dave Senf '74. He has been out for crosscountry and track all four years.

Jim helped lead Maine South to a fifth place finish, behind some teams which were wellranked in the state. Besides just leading the team in the races, Jim was also a morale producer for John KilcuUen's squad.

Glenn Famcy The Hawk varsity gymnastics team members chose senior Glenn Farney as their Most Valuable Player this season.

Farney was the Hawks' all around man, his strong points being the high bar and parallel bars whore he consistently finished in the 6-7 point range.

Glenn qualified in districts with a fourth place finish. At the sectional, he placed fifteenth.

Coach Tom Higgins commented, "Glenn was the type of kid you had to kick out of the gym.

Ho was an extremely hard and persistent worker, his improvement over the season proves that. Much of his enthusiasm rubbed off on the younger payers."

Dave Bamett Dave Barnett also was selected as a co-captain of the wrestling team. Having achieved the nickname of "Cougar", Dave again showed why he was needed on the squad as he set a new Maine South record for most takedowns.

Dave feels that "even though wrestling is an individual sport there is a certain feeling of team unity that prevails." He said that "wrestling for Coach Ziemek was a real experience and I think highly of him not

<Hily as a coach, but as a person."

Dave is undecided about what he will do after he graduates although he said that eventually he would like to go back to school.

Chuck DiFranco Chuck DiFranco was co-MVP of this years' standout wrestling squad. During all of his four years, Chuck wrestled in the lightweight division.

Chuck said he enjoyed wrestling for Coach Ziemek very much and had this to say about wrestling, "You are all alone on the mat. When you win or lose, you really have no one to blame but yourself."

An attitude like this helped Chuck to achieve this success in wrestling, and he hopes to continue this sport once in college.

He has been accepted at Loyola University and will probably major in pre-med.

Dave Dale The swim team is going to miss their MVP, Dave Dale '74 next year. The reason is that Dave is moving this summer and will bo swimming for New Trier East next year.

When asked what his most memorable moment in swimming was this year he replied, "I'd have to say that being on T.V. during the State Finals and finishing ninth in state, in the 50 yard freestyle had to be my biggest thrill."

George Mulopulos Being an MVP is hardly anything new for George Mulopulos.

He won the award his first two years at Maine South on the sophomore team, and also won it last year. His record as a .senior is his licst as a Hawk.

George, who will attend the University of Illinois at Champaign-Urbana. has played in the first singles position for two years. He lettered as a sophomore and went to the state meet that year as part of a doubles team.

He also made trips to the state meet the last two years, first as singles winner in district, and then teamed with Bob Ellsworth '73 in doubles. These two vCent two rounds two weeks ago, and won enough points to give Maine South a tie for 14th.

chose sophomore Rob Stigglemann as their Most Valuable Player this season. Rob was the first Hawk in four years to advance from area districts into sectional competition. Rob held the squad's lopest cumulative average with an excellent mark of 42. A meet medalist twice this year, Rob shot a score of 39 versus Morton West and a 40 in a conference triangular to win these somewhat elusive awards.

Coach Ron Ross felt the selection was appropriate, "Rob has an excellent attitude towards the game. He is the kind of performer who is willing to put forth the effort necessary to become a top competitor."

ual. He just barely missed going on to the finals by a few touches.

Ed was also a four year player and letterman on the varsity soccer team.

Ed Priest In the sport that Maine South almost always had some spectacular finishes in, fencing, Ed Priest is the senior MVP of the varsity. He and Jim Herring '74 were the main reasons for Maine South finishing fourth in Illinois.

Fencing all year on the higher A-strip, Ed really came through in the state meet, lasting through the semi-finals, and finishing seventh as an individ-

Neil Gengo The soccer team's defense might be weaker next year because of the loss of their MVP, Neil Gengo '73. Right now Neil is not sure of what he wants to do next year, but college is not in his plans, as of now.

When he was asked what his most remembered moment in soccer was this year, he said.

"I guess it was when we played Maine East. In this game I was moved up to forward and I managed to score a goal."

The sophomore Hawk baseball squad finished an excellent season on an up note, wiiming several key games, completing a 12-6-1 slate. The sophs finished half-a-game behind the Maine West Warriors in the divisional race and finished third in the CSL conference battle.

Pitching was the squad's strong point, led by aces Dave McLean and Brian Flanagan.

The staff posted a sensational ERA of 1.65 under the direction of their fine coach, Mr. Don Kerr, in 19 games. The staff issued 106 strikeouts and 87 walks.

Dave McLean posted a 5 and 2 slate, most of the wins coming at the expense of the Hawks' divisional rivals. McLean led the staff in innings pitched and strikeouts. His ERA was a low .93. Brian Flanagan, normally the team's outstanding catcher, posted a 3 and 1 record on the other side of the box. Flanagan had an ERA of .52 to pace the squad and was third in SO's. Pat Morrison posted a

1.47 ERA, allowed the fewest hits and a 2 and 0 record before moving up to the varsity.

Hurler Jim Davis managed a 2 and 3 slate despite early problems.

The team boasted a powerful hitting attack, paced by team leader Brian Flanagan. Flanagan led the Hawk attack in hits, RBIs, extra base hits, and had the highest average among the regulars with a .352 mark.

Hardhitting Joe McNamara was the leader in runs scored, at bats and triples. Joe was second in RBIs and average. Steve Carnehl led the team in steals.

Jerry Kania and Bill Marshall were the team's premier clutch hitters. Jerry hit .423 and won several games with clutch hits.

Bill hit a blistering .318 and drove in seven runs. John Rortvedt came on strong at the season's end, as did DePaolis and Rigitano.

All in all, the squad combined for a .260 batting average and collected 92 RBIs; 127 hits, 34 of them for extra bases, and 49 steals.

Mangold Bids South Farewell; Hopes to See Increase in Sports

by M a r k Mangold

It seems like just yesterday that I wrote my first editorial telling about the new athletic director, the tragic death of Paul Gustafson, and of the hoped for success of a relatively sad football team.

Since that first column not really much has changed in the way of sports here at South. Another year has been here and flown by with Maine South having high hopes in numerous sports but just not getting enough push to make it all the way to the top.

Turning away from sports, I see a senior class on the brink of a new life, one of facing the world, and all of its joys and sorrows. Another class to leave Maine South with a bad taste in their mouths about what too many term, "a rotten place".

At this point in my high school lite I know I sound much like any other senior, "I can't wait to get out of here," or "I'm sick of this place," are two comments most commonly heard.

Though I may feel this way now, I have a feeling deep down, that next year I'll begin to reminicse and flunk of what great times I had. I'll miss it. Because it was a big part of my life; a big part of me.

Many kids will try to block high school out of their minds, try to pretend "to themselves that they never had any part of this school. But while these kids are trying so hard to block this out of their mind it wiU remain' one of my fondest times.

I hate to think what I would have been doing the past four years if I hadn't been in school.

I've learned a lot about people, esp>ecially in this past year. I've foiuid out how other people are and what makes them that way.

Maine South serves a definite purpose, it is here to help us, the young people learn. It, in my opion, has served that piirpose quite well.

My last issue of Southwords. Well, now that I won't be around to write another column 1 suppose it's about time to state my feeUngs on a subject that has bothered me from the beginning of this year, but hit home the most during the basketball season.

It seems to me that interest in sports, both from the spectators and players, has decreased surprisingly. Guys are tired of playing sports and would rather sit at home.

Why the rather sudden change in interest. Is it because the coaches are too hard? Are the kids just too lazy"* It's a combination of both. I think; kids these days don't want to be pushed into something that they don't want to do.

It is my hope and wish that in the near future, athletes, whatever there are left of them, and coaches will be able to come to an agreement as to some sort of standards for them to follow.

In the meantime I can say that this year of being sports editor has enriched my life in ways that 1 may not fully realize until years hence. No matter what happens or who I might encounter. I will always be proud to say that I spent four years of the happiest years of my life here at Maine South High school, the Home of the Hawks.

Thank you Maine South, you're really not too bad after all.

The junior varsity also won as they defeated the junior varsity of Maine East by a score of 8-7, Nancy Ross the winning pitcher.

Sports Scene Looks Brighter

by Mark Mangold - Sports Editor

With the way thai athletics are dying out these days it's hard to tell what will be left of any of the teams here at South next year. Barring any drastic happenings, here's the outlook: The fall sports which always have their struggles should see a brighter light ahead for next season.

• This years' football team was supposed to have a bad year but they ended up fairly well, however. ! think this shows the abilities not only of the players but more so of the coaches. Next years' team should shape up fairly well with a good returning crop of freshmen and .sophomores.

They will not be overly big, but guts and determination should lead them to a winning sea-son, and possibly put them in contention for the division and conference crowns.

• The cross-country team has shown much promise. Their success next year will again depend largely on the spirit and agressiveness of the underclassmen, who had fine years this past sea.son.

• Soccer will begin its fifth season with Coach Jack Tilley still seeking a winning combination.

I have n feeling that the coach may have to wait yet another year to find that winning formula, hopefully not. but it seems fairly inevitable with no players back to speak of.

• The winter sports, usually the Hawks strongest season should continue in this vein barring any disasters.

Basketball, always the strongest sport at South will have four spots to fill in the starting lineup. Pete Boesen and Pete Schmelzer both tall and lanky will be back to make up the nucleus of what should be another strong squad. Much help will have to come from this years' sophomore class, as the services of twice All-Chicago Area forward Jerry Jones will be sorely missed.

• The wrestling team which has had its' strongest seasons in the last two should again have a fine squad. Coach Ziemek will be coming off of the best season he has enjoyed on the varsity level. The team was comprised largely of underclassmen this season so next year Coach Ziemek can probably look for another division championship and possibly the conference championship.

• Gymnastics this year was taken over by Mr. Tom Higgins, and as was expected the first year

mentor did have his troubles. The squad struggled at some points but looked very good at other times during the season.

With Coach Higgins in his second year next year I think you can look for an improved squad.

• The swimming team also had its ups and downs this past season with them also getting a new head coach in Mr. Art Johnson.

The MVP for this year, David Dale, will be back next year and he along with some of the other sophomores and juniors should make up the nucleus for a good year of swimming for the 1973-74 season.

• The fencing team who always seem to place well in state no matter what kind of talent they have, will more than likely make next year no exception. Dave Young and some fine underclassmen will be back to put the Hawks right back into state contention again next year.

• The Spring sports could be promising but a majority of the games and meets will have to bs won on ambition and determination rather than experience.

The baseball squad will be the only spring sport team tu have much experience returning.

Coach Verber will welcome back 11 of this year's players, including three pitchers.

The ambition and spirit in the underclassmen has always been good and this should be a great help in the baseball teams' bid for a fine season next year.

• The track squad has had their problems this season but the outlook for the future also looks brighter for Coach Magsamens' boys. Once again the underclass tracksters have been quite impressive and this should lend itself to a better season for next year.

• Finally the golf and tennis squads have been a bit disappointing this year, but next year is a brand new start with some new members.

The golf team will welcome back their MVP, Rob SUggleman. for next year while the tennis team will have to rely mainly on the underclassmen to come thru and give them a good year.

• That, sports fans, is how 1 see the sport scene at Maine South for next year. It is my hope that in the next few years sports at this school will again regain the glamour and excitement that seem to have died along with the ambition of its' participants.

Good Luck Hawks and "Long Live Sports!"
