A True Peace? Wonderful^ ButIs there really going to be true peace now? The students of Maine South had many feelings and opinions about the peace treaty. Most of these feelings are of relief and happiness, but there are also many others who didn't really care, for it didn't really affect them.

Others feel that the treaty won't hold because of past experiences and of the further bombings in Nonh Vietnam after the treaty had been signed.

Lynn Males '75 remarks, "I don't really have a reaction.

It's good for the people directly involved, but the war didn't affect me." Denice Rix '75 commented, "It's really good be-

cause all the guys are coming home to their families." Bob Kroeckel '75 says that he wishes the war wasn't really over because he wanted to be drafted.

Nancy Maroney '75 said, "I think it's great that the war has ended because it was long and a lot of guys died, but there may be trouble with jobs."

Meg EUsworth '75 stated, "It will be sort of bad in a way since unemployment will rise, and a lot of the war supply companies will go out of business. I'm glad the war is over but I don't feel that anything has been accomplished."

Cindy Grant '75 states, "I'm very happy because the guy on

my POW bracelet is coming home. Glad it's finally all over with." Jim Lonergan '74 says, "The treaty should work out, as long as they don't let another dictator like the President of South Vietnam rule the country."

Grace Garby '74 feels that there might be a depression after the American soldiers come home. "There might not be enough jobs for them," said Grace.

Math teacher, Mr. Vergoth, states: "I think it could have occurred way before now. It couldn't have been any worse off if it happened about four or five years ago." Glenn Gill

'74 says, "Hope it won't fall through like the last time, and hope peace will last."

Chris Thumboe '75 remarks that she is really glad the war has ended. "I'm still not really sure it's over though, because of the recent bombings. But I think Nixon has done a good job." Bob Hansen '74, "I think it will last." Bob also feels that if McGovem were president we would have peace too.

Nicky Lapitina '75 comments, "It's good that it's over, but it's going to be hard for them to get jobs and a lot of people are going to be out of work."

Lynne Milburne '75 commented, "I thought it was about time. It will last, it just has

to. The great thing is the prisoners of war are being freed."

Sue Trigourea '74 said, "I think it's great. I had confidence in President Nixon, and supported him fully. McGovem would have given the North Vietnamese anything they wanted just to ensure peace and would have embarrassed our coimtry in the face of others."

Jim Reynolds '75 said, "I think it's a great thing that the war is over. I just hope that the POW's can adjust back to the American way of life."

Art Van Der Heyden '75 stated, "I feel that this peace will not last. There are too many uncertainties."

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

Feb. 9,1973

Supt. Frost To Retire Ralph J. Frost, assistant superintendent of the Maine Township high schools, plans to retire at the end of the school year. In his 36 years with District 207, he ser\'ed as an English teacher, sponsor of the school newspaper, dean of boys, administrative assistant to the superintendent, building principal and assistant superintentent.

Mr. Frost attended Evanston Township High School and received a bachelor of arts degree and a master's degree from Northwestern University.

After two years as an intern English teacher at Maine, Mr. Frost served on active military duty for five years in World War II. He was discharged as a captain in 1946.

Mr. Frost enjoyed working with school newspapers in his career, beginning with his own high school paper. The Evanstonian. As editor of the paper, Mr. Frost organized the staff meetings held every day after school. "We'd work until 6 p.m., sometimes evenings, too. The paper, composed of 4-6 pages,

came out every week. It didn't have the diversions that you do now, but it was a good paper," explained Mr. Frost. He was a sponsor of the Maine East newspaper, and "really e n j o y e d working with The Pioneer.

Mr. Frost went on to say, "I did preliminary work for the Special Education Program. I was responsible for contacting and setting up meetings. And, of course, the accelerated and advanced placement programs have really prospered." He was referring to programs serving children with handicaps o r learning disabilities and programs concerned with the needs of students with high potential.

Both programs were under his guidance.

At the present time, Mr. Frost is a director of the Northwest Suburban YMCA and the Maine Township Mental Health Association. He also finds time to participate in the Des Plaines Lions Club and Post 36 American Legion.

Although his career is filled with pleasant memories, certain instances stand out in Mr.

Frost's mind. "The dedication day of Maine West in November of 1959 waas certainly one high point of my years, but I was equally pleased with the opening of Maine South in 1964," he commented. Mr. Frost aided in the planning of educational specifications for both schools.

Another memorable experience for Mr. Frost must have been the day Maine's Board of Education named the district's new administration building at 1131 South Dee Road, Park Ridge, the Ralph J. Frost Administration Center.

Mr. Frost concludes his 36 years of service to District 207 with feelings of satisfaction and true accomplishment. "I have thoroughly enjoyed my experiences and relationship with the district. It's a fine school system. In fact, it's one of the best in the country."

"We will all miss his dedicated, efficient service, his meticulous attention to details, his intuitive and insightful understanding of the 'Maine Way,' " said Dr. Richard R. Short, superintendnet.

Amnesty Issue Discussed Anmesty has become a pressing issue. At Maine South, the I>opulace is divided on the question of amnesty for draft dodgers.

Few people want amnesty without some punishment. Jim Lo Bue '74 said, "Draft dodgers should be let back in the country only if they would serve a term of social service for the U.S. Since they don't want to be destructive, let them do something constructive."

Mr. Micheal Deines of the English department commented, "Men wanting to come back to the U.S. should be considered on an individual basis. But those coming back should have to serve a term of social service. The country lost too many good people in the war. It's time to bring our talent home."

Hilario de Cumha, South's AFS student, added, "I don't think draft dodgers should have amnesty. If they want to come back to this country they should show they are sorry for leaving."

Some people think complete

amnesty is the best policy. Debby Spatafora '75 thought, "The men should be allowed to come back. No-one likes to kill."

Mr. Robert Hunt said, "The war had done so much to divide the American people, that I believe the problem of amnesty must be settled quickly, quietly, and without rancor," At the opposite extreme a number of people believe draft dodgers should get no amnesty."

"Those men broke the law," said Chet Kerr '74. "If they want to come back to the country they should be punished as lawbreakers and they should lose their privileges of citizenship."

Kirke Machon '74 added, "If they wanted to leave when things were tough, they shouldn't be allowed to come back now that everything's O.K." Pete Chyler '74 concurred, "If they come back, they should be put in jail for as long as they would have had to be in the military."

Mr. John Minerick, Driver Ed. department chairman, conclud-

This year two students at Maine South, Bill Baumgartner and Roberta Piccoli, have been nominated to participate in the National Honor Society Scholarship Program.

Bill and Roberta were selected by the other members of NHS on the basis of outstanding leadership, scholarship, character and service. In the past, scholarships w e r e awarded on the basis of academic records and test results.

Although this method was successful, it did not provide a wide enough basis on which to evaluate the students.

Each nominee must complete the Scholarship Selection Ques-

tionnaire. The Questionnaire will enable the board to evaluate the students participation in service organizations, clubs, athletics, their employment experience and academic record.

In reaction to her nomination Roberta said, "I was more happy that my friends nominated me and wanted me to try for it than if I actually win the scholarship." In reaction to his nomination Bill said, "I was pleased."

Although the scholarships are not based on need, there will be 200 awards in 1973, each for $1,000. Students who do not need financial assistance are eligible for honorary scholarships.

'Outstanding^ Is The Word To Describe Three Seniors Lynne Andrew, Mike Eberle and Bob Griesbach, all class of '73 members, have been nominated as Outstanding Teenagers of America for 1975.

Selected by Pricnipal Clyde K. Watson, these students now qualify for further state, regional and national honors. Scholarships offered total $7,000.

The outstanding teenagers are chosen from schools across the country on the basis of academic achievement and community service. Lynne, Mike and Bob will compete for the Outstanding Teenager of the Year trophy.

Fifty one state winners will be eligible for awards up to $7,000. A boy and a girl will receive national scholarships up to $1,000, to be used at the college or university of his or her choice.

Under the guidance of the Board of Advisors, the Outstanding Teenagers of America program was created to encourage young people to take full advantage of the opportunities in our country. Awards are presented each spring. Biographies of all those honored are recorded in the annual volume. Outstanding Teenagers of America.

Whys of Vandalism Judy Everyone at one time in their stay at Maine South was a vandal. What is vandalism? More important. Why does vandalism occur?

Vandalism includes from the small incidents such as throwing papers and gum on the floor to the larger examples of breaking windows and writing on walls with spray paint. Vandalism ALSO includes writing obscenities on the sidewalks, floor and desks. It includes destroying washroom mirrors and the washroom. I'm sure everyone at one time has done one of these.

Vandalism is costly. The average amount per year for Maine South is $8,000. This year the cost wiU be slightly higher.

For example, the obscenities

written on the gym walls last week will cost $600 for sandblasting the walls clean. Dr. Watson recently paid a biU of $800 for broken windows.

The money to pay for repairing our school comes from the General Education Fund which is part of the school's budget.

The money is from property taxes that our parents pay. If the vandalist is caught then he or his parents must pay for the damage.

Why does vandalism occur?

It is usually due to retaliation against the school, faculty or deans. Those students think that by destroying the school, they are hurting the deans. For example, maybe a student felt he was unjustly suspended. However, the student is only hurt-

Kranz

ing himseK because it's his school.

Other acts of vandalism are committed just for something to do on a Friday night. Some are due to nastiness and anger.

Others are done for attention, but who would want to be known as the best vandal? Vandalism is nothing to boast about.

Vandalism may be here to stay, but it should be stopped.

What satisfaction does a person get from destroying? He usually only succeeds in losing privileges for others. How can we say we're responsible students when some of us willfully destroy the school?

Vandalism can be stopped, but you have to start with yourself and the small incidents.

John McLaughlin Rates High with Rock Band Mahavishnu Orchestra

by Mike Springston '73 John McLaughlin has been around. He has played with famous musicians like Miles Davis, Jack Bruce, Ginger Baker, Buddy Miles and Larry CoryeU. He has released six albums and has appeared on countless others. He is rated by most people as one of the finest guitarists in the world.

Despite these impressive credentials, McLaughlin would remain relatively unknown if not for his association with a jazzrock band named The Mahavishnu Orchestra. McLaughlin and The Mahavishnu Orchestra attained some popularity with their first album. Inner Mounting Flame.

This following should increase with the release of their second album. Birds of Fire (Columbia).

The band's style has undergone some changes from the first album, but they are all for the better. Inner Mounting Fame was used mostly to showcase McLaughlin's prowess on guitar with violinist Jerry Goodman, formerly with the Chicago group, The Flock, occasionally playing lead cuts on his instrument.

The work load is more evenly distributed this time around and each member has a solo at some point on the album. Another addition to the band is the Moog, played quite competently by keyboard player, Jan Hammer.

The albtmi opens strongly with the title track, "Birds of Fire". "Birds of Fire" is a spacy number highlighted by three excellent lead cuts, one each by McLaughlin, Goodman and Hammer.

Miles Davis's song "Miles Beyond" follows the title track.

McLaughlin is up front all the way as the song moves from funzy jazz to heavy rock in the

Orchestra's excellent version.

"Celestial Terrestrial Commuters" follows and is a fine example of the space jazz the band plays so well. McLaughlin, Goodman and Hammer trade off a series of short lead cuts that spark the song.

The next song, "Sapphire Bullets of Pure Love", is a 21second lesson in how to play the Moog, with Jan Hammer leading the way.

"Thousand Island Park" follows in a softer vein. Hammer and McLaughlin play a duet that lasts just a little longer than it should. "Hope" closes side one rather poorly. It's a repetitious number that is not up to the rest of the album.

Side two opens with the album's best song, "One Word".

Every member of the band is featured with a bass solo and

a drum solo surrounding the lead exchanges between the three treble musicians. The exchange is the best part of the album with all three instruments sounding alike.

"Sanctuary" is a letdown after the first song, but "Open Country Joy" gets things moving again with some excellent country-western playing by Goodman and McLaughlin. The album closes with "Resolution", a song that keeps building to something, but never gets there.

The Mahavishnu Orchestra, like most jazz groups, suffer commercially by their lack of vocals. It is really sad if people overlook this fine instrumental album because there is no singing.

In this case, vocals would only hamper the finished product.

a cannon, he is fascinating to watch. Though at times his actions were hard to follow, he was mostly very simple to understand, and his "Waiting," "Sun's Day" and "Cutting a Lady in HaK" earned him a standing ovation.

"The art of mime takes a lot of practice," T. Daniel observed.

"Under Marcel Marceau, we would study eight hours a day, five days a week, and then go home and practice some more.

On weekends the theaters were open to us, and we used them."

What did he learn? "Rhythm, isolation (moving a part of the body independent from the rest), weight (imitating physical properties of objects), fencing and acrobatics." He must practice continuously to make sure that the edge that separates his professionalism from the very good amateur's is not dulled.

T. Daniel took lessons from Marceau after meeting him briefly following one of Marcel's performances. Daniel soon joined a group of 30 students in Paris, and the grueling hours of work began. Most of the students have gone into other areas of communication, such as opera-singing or speech therapy.

As for women in mime, he comments, "Most drop out to pursue other interests. There's only one famous female mimist I can think of, and I can't remember her name right now."

Maine S. In '74, '75?

It's 8 a.m. and you have just arrived at school. You are immediately greeted by a hall monitor who checks your I.D. Once recognized as a Maine South student, you are allowed to go to your locker and then to homeroom.

Hall passes are non-existent. That is, they are unnecessary because no one is permitted in the halls during class periods. And each corridor is marked with a monitor at each end to make sure no one gets by.

Passes are only distributed by the deans and principal.

Washrooms are not off limits to the student, however. Between classes anyone is free to use them, under the watchful supervision of a stationed monitor and a telescopic eye.

A picture of Maine South maybe two, three years from now? It sounds rather farfetched, but with the current rise in van-

dalism, this sort of "police state" could be one method to ciu^b or wipe out the problem.

Obscenities are written on the school wall, we get our chuckles, and it is sand blasted off the next hour, courtesy of Student Council. What exactly, did that incident prove? The handwriting and language was a little sophisticated, but even a four-yearold knows how to finger paint.

Aside from the S8000 the school spends each year on vandalism, it creates an atmosphere of mistrust between the teachers and the students. It's pretty patiietic that the majority suffers because of the actions of only a handful of students.

Vandalism may be one person's way of getting back at a system that he feels has treated him unjustly. But, when one considers the consequences, there must be a better answer.

Too bad walls don't talk. They could have something constructive to add.

dents of both sexes drop out is because mime is a very demanding profession, requiring absolute dedication. Miming to Daniel is not only a profession, but "an integral part of myself, a part of my being" without which he could not be complete. Marcel Marceau is also very dedicated, and T. Daniel says of him, "He's the greatest master of mime — so far."

Mimists such as Marceau and Daniel have a repertoire of "numbers" which they perform constantly, Daniel's favorite and most difficult numbers include "White Bird" and "Sun's Day." Right now he is creating a new number called "The Museum" about people's different reactions to the same statue.

His acts are already excellent.

It will he interesting to see what the newspapers will be saying about him ten years from now.

Karen Heidkamp Wins State Pageant and Other Awards Karen Heidkamp '73, Park Ridge's 1973 Junior Miss, recently won the title of Illinois Junior Miss. On Dec. 27, Karen arrived at Morton East in Cicero for her four-day stay for the "I didn't know anyone at first," said Karen, "but everyone was so nice. It was easy to make friends and now I'm keeping in touch with many of them."

For Karen, the four days of the pageant were extremelv exhausting but lots of fun. There was always something to keep everyone busy: dance rehearsals, interviews, dinners, and getting to know the other contestants.

"It was like a great big slumber party," according to Karen. "We talked all night an^. in the morning, walked around in a daze."

The night of the judging was the most exciting for Karen and the fifteen other contestants.

Everyone was tired from previous rehearsals and nervous because they hardly had a chance to practice their own routine.

Karen had another problem: she lost her voice on the day of judging. Luck was with her though, as she presented "Good-

bye Jim" by James Whitcomb Riley.

"I don't really know how I got the idea," said Karen. "At first, in the Park Ridge pageant, I was going to dance, but too many people were doing that.

Then I found this reading and decided 1 liked it enough to use it as my act."

Karen was well-supported the night of judging. She estimated that about one-third of the audience was from Park Ridge. Her family, some of the girls from the Park Ridge pageant and other friends were there to cheer her on.

Besides winning the chance to participate in the National Junior Miss Pageant in Mobile, Alabama (which will be on television), Karen won other awards. She was voted "Miss Congeniality" by her fellow contestants and won the KRAFT Award ($100 and a tape recorder) and the Physical Fitness Award (a camera). She wiU also be receiving a scholarship to the school of her choice, probably worth $1,000, It wasn't easy, though. Almost half of the winning depended on personality a n d grades. The other half consisted

You Can't Take it With You The Class of '73 and the Maine South Drama Department will be starting the new year off with a bang.

You Can't Take it with You, the Senior Class Play, will be presented February 14, 15, and 16 at 8 p.m. in the Auditorium.

The play promises to offer some explosive surprises, through both the special effects and the message it offers. Although the play was originally written almost 35 years ago, both the cast and Student Directors agree that the play's "Do your own thing" message still holds.

Rick Tinaglia '73, who plays the role of the grandfather, Martin Vanderhof, feels that "the philosophy of the play is to do what you like, as long as you don't hurt anybody."

Katy Davlin '73, who plays the Mother, Penelope Sycamore, adds, "The Sycamores respect humanity. They do nutty things because they enjoy doing nutty things."

In addition to offering a look at individuality. Assistant Student Director Mari L. Coles '75 feels that "people today probably wish that they could be just like the Sycamores, and not face life as something that they have to work hard for."

Perhaps Student Director Bob Jares '73 sums up all the ideas when he maintains, "The play offers something for everybody.

It has the spice a good comedy should have." Bob adds that the message of the play is "to live your own life. If you don't like what you're doing, get out."

Tickets for You Can't Take it With You are $1.50 for Adults, $1 for Students, and may be purchased in the bookstore and in the cafeteria.

of such things as pyoise, appearance, and physical fitness.

"I didn't realize how tough the physical fitness part of the pageant would be, so now I'm shaping up for the national pageant this May," said Karen.

Karen felt that participating in both the Park Ridge and state contests were well worth the effort. "I would tell anyone to try for it," said Karen.

"It's quite an experience and you don't particularly have to be out to win — just to have a good time. After all, that's what the pageant is for."

Restoring Old House Doesn't Bug This Historical Society Volunteer Editor's note: The Park Ridge historical society has purchased the Gillick House on the corner of Euclid and Summit tor the location of a historical museum.

played by Mary Rebedeau '75.

Both live in present-day Ireland. Although Joe keeps his head buried in his schoolbooks, while Mag constantly babbles about whatever is on her mind, the two are very much in love.

They borrow a local man's boat and row out to an island, unaware of the tragedy in which they are involved.

Other parts in the play include the Man (Tom Peters '73) and the Woman (Kim Hartl '73).

In direct contrast to Joe and Mag, the Man and the Woman show no emotion whatsoever as they narrate the facts of the story.

Pom Pon Squad Entertains at DePaul

another reason, so we picked our way through mud and broken glass to the back door.

Once inside we dodged armfuls of hangers and old clothes from the house cleaning operation as we made our way through the house.

When we stopped at the butler's pantry, just off the kitchen, one lady explained about nebulous creatures called ice men and huge bins for storing flour and sugar. Her eyes sparkled with nostalgia as she recalled her daily battle to keep the ice meltings from overflowing a drip pan. It was really fun, all the sharing that took place that day!

In the attic we marked a small white wood-worked room with a slanting roof for Local History Society. It even has dormer windows and a window seat. Now I know how Columbus felt. Someday this may be the room we'U use for exhibiting rare tidbits from Maine South, when and if we find some.

Finally, we looked for work, since we had almost forgotten our reason for coming. With the motto "Start from the top and work down," I found a broom and recUmbed to the attic where I met a fantastic lady, who is restoring a house of her own in Fox River Grove.

She knew all the inside information about termites and attics. I thought wonders of her knowledge as she scraped her fingernail against the bare wood to see if it was soft, but I couldn't bring myself, even in my grubbies, to risk the thought of soft wood and maybe invisible termite monsters under my nail.

There went my merit badge!

Then another lady encouraged me to join the fine work going on in the basement, e v e n though she admitted to be

slightly squeamish about the bugs.

Of course, I escaped and retreated to the attic once more.

Before we finally did get rewarded by a vacuum cleaner, a photographer from the Herald interrupted us. He was a little embarassed by our dustpan, and tried to have us put the funeral home printing on the calendar cover to the back.

Nevertheless, after five minutes of rehearsing, I think he took a great candid shot.

After vacuuming, my job was done. After picking my way carefully through the heavy dust cloud, I left. Meeting new people and swapping bug stories, that was my Saturday morning, and I'm going back next week for more.

Oh, did I tell you that I managed to help restore the Gillick House a little bit, too? frtntrillllt** ^UIlllUJUlC

Second Health Workshop

For nine consecutive seasons the Maine South Hawkettes provided half-time entertainment on DePaul Campus at Alumni Hall. January 27 the girls were well received by a full house at the DePaul-Dayton contest. The Hawkettes dazzled the audience with their sparkling costumes and a precision dance routine saluting the American showgirl.

Maine South will hold its second health workshop in the auditorium on March 2.

The workshop, which is statewide sharing of Maine South health curriculum, will discuss the following topics: Sex Education-"The Importance of a Good Program and How it Can Be Taught Successfully," V.D., .\ir Pollution, Ecology, and Acupuncture.

Attendance is expected to be as good or better than that of the first workshop, which drew about 250 representatives from the state.

Purposes of the first workshop

were to create interest in the health program, to help set up curriculums for other schools, and to get health specialists to teach the classes rather than P.E. teachers.

An artist was hired to draw the visual aid hand-outs; and the written curriculum was funded by the Chicago Lung Association.

The second health workshop was sponsored by Maine South, The Chicago Lung Association, and Cook County Schools. Mr. Brady, Miss Purdy, and Mr. Higgins arranged speakers, curriculum, handouts and all other preparations.

B-Ball Strong; Win Last 5 Mark Margold The Varsity Basketball team continued to play their best basketball of the season Friday evening as they blasted the Warriors of Deerfield 92-42.

Bob Westman played his fifth fine game in a row as he lead all scorers with 20 points and hauled down 9 rebounds. Bob hit 12 points in the first quarter as the Hawks sped away to an 18 point spread.

6'-7" center Pete Boesen hit five buckets in the third quarter, and finished with 18 points and 14 captures.

Tony Reibel, the Hawks' 5-11 floor general continued his fine defensive play while finding the range for 11 points.

The Hawks have only five regular games left, aU in conference. Tonight they will travel to Maine West, whom they defeated by 40 points earlier. But, according to the Maine West newspaper, they feel they can beat us.

Tomorrow night the Hawks come home to entertain Glenbrook North. The Spartans boast the third leading scorer in the CSL, in 5-11 Ted Govedarcia.

Since the demoralizing loss to New Trier West, four weeks ago, the Hawks have won f i v e straight and find themselves in a three way tie for the conference lead.

Two weeks ago the Hawks met the sleek-shooting Huskies of Oak Park. The Huskies play in the tough Suburban League and have had some good games against highly-regarded teams.

They came out running and scored six straight points before Bob Westman finally answered with his famous reverse layup.

The Hawk shots began to drop and Westman and Boesen started going to the boards hard.

This, combined with defense enabled the Hawks to push ahead by eight points at haKtime.

Early in the second half, Oak Park cut the lead to four, until Tony Reibel hit two successive jumpers to put the game on ice.

Oak Park Coach Tom Meyer commented on the game by saying, "Maine South is quick, has plenty of size, and they reminded me of a college team, they are one heck of a club."

Jerry Jones, who only scored four points the previous night, lead with 19, while Westman added 18 and 12 rebounds.

Trackmen Off Well

Jim Hirsch (21) on th« way up for two points in the Hawk romp over Niles East.

The indoor track season started for Maine South last week.

The Hawks took their first win over Niles West Wednesday with a 62-47 score.

Senior shot putter Mike Carroll lead the way with a first place throw of 52 feet, 9 more than his closest rival, teammate Ron Kilininski.

The mile relay team ran strongly against Niles West taking the race in 3:44.6, 10 seconds faster than the Indians.

The relay team consists of seniors T o m Towne, Gary Cheves, Jim Zarowski and Bob Kenutis.

Kenutis and Cheves also run in the 440-yd. dash in which Kenutis took second. Cheves also took a first in the 880-yd.

Jim Schiffer took a second in the two mile but with a time that was tenth best in Maine South's history, 10:09.0.

Tanli:men to Qose Season With the swimmers nearing the end of their season, a recap of the season so far is needed.

Varsity veterans Dave Dale '74, Mark Umbach '74, Craig Jacobson '73, Mike Scotese '75, Brian Loughlin '74, Jim Siedel '73 and Joe Nicolau '73 make up the bulk of the squad, carrying the team through many exciting meets.

Other members of the varsity squad include Tom Scotese '73, Dane Kozie '75, Paul Frystak '74, Bob McCullough '74 (last of a great line), and freshmen newcomers Paul Okamoto and Greg Wells.

Some of our predictions have come true. David Dale qualified for state in the 100-yd. freest and the grueling 200-yd. individual medley.

Mark Umbach, Craig Jacobson and friends have been handling the sprinting events with success. Mike Scotese, D a n e Kozie, and Jim Siedel have manned the distance events.

Frystak and Loughlin have been a double threat in the breaststroke while Wells and Jeff Leigh '75 have carried the backstroke.

Lately Jacobson has split his heel during practice and is expected to be out for at least another week, so reserve help from Nicolau and Glen Marconcini '74 has kept the sprints alive. The Varsity tankers have

compiled their best record for duel meet competition in six years with 9 wins and 5 losses, not to mention a fourth place fi ish in the Titan Relays at Glenbrook South or a ninth place finish in the Indian Relays at New Trier East. The frosh tankers have also proven to be a threat. Like many of the teams at South, however, this is a year of rebuilding in ability and personnel, and the fishhawks are no exception.

Composed of one year veterans and nationally ranked swimmers the "Super-Sophs," have come away undefeated thus far and have the best chance to bring home a conference championship since back in '65. The only "defeat" came on a disqualification at the Maine East Invitational. South was forced to give up first place to Glenbrook South.

Friday the tankers close out their 1972-73 campaign at Maine West.

by Dan McGrath In a big conference confrontation, the Maine South Hawks defeated rival Deerfield in varsity wrestling action Friday night, 21-20. The JV was also

Column Brings Favorable Vote This column has become a very controversial subject. I have heard comments ranging from "What the heck do girls need a sports column for?" to "That's a fantastic idea!" (I tend to agree with the latter comment.)

And, due to a favorable over-all response, this column will continue. Sports, be it male or female is a vital part of any school's extra-curricular activities.

• The Interscholastic Badminton team consists of: Jill Berry, Louise Cieslak, Judy Daly, Jan Daly, Carol alton, Linda Diekman, Sue Gillette, Sue Liebforth, Angelique Mizera, Jan Pitt, Jill Pitt, Lee Ann Purcell, Fran Samaras, Debbie Simpson, Carol Tomer and Keri Winkowski. The team is being coached by Miss Albrecht.

The conference championship will be determined by the win-loss record.

Brian Murphy took a first at 12'.

Ruggeri and Al Lottich followed with vaults of 11' and 10'. Tom Towne did not place but insists he'll improve for the next meet.

Niles West swept the high hurdles and senior Rick McCormick was the only Hawk to place in the low hurdles with a second.

Mike Walsh missed a second placing in the long jump by an inch as the only Hawk to place in this event.

Criticism Necessary?

By Mark Mangold, Sports Editor

Most people in this school are ignorant as to what is happening around them. Some people open their mouths without knowing why.

I have been sharply criticized for my choice of story topics in the last issue. I will readily admit to the fact that Jerry Jones was highly praised. I felt that Jerry was deserving. It isn't often that a high school athlete reaches a record such as scoring 1000 points in a career.

I am in a tight bind. I have tried to be fair as I can to as many sports as I can, but it is just impossible, with the limited amount of space that I am entitled to.

When there is nothing about the girls' sports, I hear it from their department. When there is not enough about male sports, I hear from the boys* P.E. department. I can't win.

I am not asking to win or lose, though. I am just asking to be left to do my job without any sarcastic criticism I enjoy this job, and will enjoy it much more if I am allowed to do it in the best way that I know how.

• The Hawk wrestling team is enjoying their best season in many years, as they have lost only one time in conference play.

Last year it seemed as though wrestling was a fading sport here at South, but I am very impressed by the way the team has made the school stand up and take notice.

• The Varsity Basketball team is riding a string of five consecutive victories, and barring any huge upsets, are a bet to make it seven this weekend.

The Hawks faired well in the pairings for the State Tournament, as they have what is considered by many to be an easy road to the elusive "Sweet Sixteen".

The Hawks will face conference rival Maine West in the first game of the Maine East regional, on March 6.

The winner of that game will go on to play the championship contest either against Maine East or fast improving Notre Dame.

• The Varsity Volleyball team ended their season with a 4-2 record, and the J.V. ended with a 4-3 record.

At Niles North in the championship, the varsity was seeded well. The J.V. went to the semi-finals before being defeated.

Miss Voelz is happy with this year's performance. "After losing five out of my six starters last year I was very pleased with the rebuilt team. This year, only three out of nine girls are graduating, so I'm expecting alot from the team next year." Miss Voelz said that the tournament, "was a disappointing way to end the season after doing so well, but next year I'm anticipating alot!!"

Jiinior-Seiiiors Finish B-Ball A new intramural basketball league has been started for juniors and seniors who don't mind getting up early to come and play.

Since the gyms are occupied most of the day the only time that thy are open is early in the morning. So the boys P.E. Dept. set up the morning league for those who enjoy the game but can't always find a place to play.

Each team consists of four players, three play at one time while the other substitutes at frequent inten-als. The games are up to eight baskets, and the team to take two out of three

games is declared the winner of that set.

The winner in the junior-senior division was the "Thugs", manned by former Hawk basketball star John Angerame, 6-7 Tim Hansen, Gary Briars, and Ermillo Barrera. They finished 8-0.

Second place with a 7-1 record went to the "Bald Eagles", featuring sweet-shooting P a t Nevins, Jack Moore, L a r r y Kuntz and Dan Perkins.
