Do You Have Podiumphobia?

New Courses May Cure It '

Do You fidget at the podium?

Do your sentences begin and end with "well" or "and-um" One of the five new speech courses being offered to students next year may interest you.

Drama II is an advanced study of acting, directing, and production style for those who have completed Drama I with a C or better. It is a full year, one credit course.

Lee Brainerd, '68, who is planning to take Drama II next year, commented, "This year I gained much experience in acting, and learned the history and meaning of drama. I was very pleased when Drama II was offered, for now I can go deeper into what I have already learned."

Public Speaking is a compact course in preparing and presenting speeches. It covers organization, logic, language, and psychology of oral communica-

tion. Students with an overall average of B or better; those who have completed Speech Arts with a B; or class, club, or Student Council officers are eligible for this half-credit, one semester course.

Vocational speech, a one-credit, one semester course, covers informal discussion, interviewing, informative speaking, and improving personal speech habits. It is designed for students who do not plan to go to college and is usually taken in conjunction with creative dramatics.

"Even though you may have trouble reading, you can enjoy literature and learn from it through creative dramatics," Mr. Chastain said.

Radio and television production techniques are taught in the Radio-Television course. Students learn writing, announcing, and programming, but not technical phases of production. The

students train with the radio station, WMTH. Department approval is required for this full year, one credit course.

Mr. Hoag said, "The demand for speech training is constantly increasing as radio and television continues to expand in modern business and industry.

Your future may be determined by your speech personality."

Marketing will be a one-credit course open to juniors and seniors. There are no prerequisites for this course, but counselor and coordinator must approve the student's registration.

The first semester of the marketing course will center around work in retailing. The course will emphasize store selling, buying, displaying, stock control, and other related functions involved in retail selling.

The second semester of marketing will concentrate on salesmanship and will emphasize all kinds of selling, including retailing.

Study will include the psychological steps of the sales process and will stress human relations in selling.

The second semester will also be used as a time to familiarize the students with job opportunities in business.

Afterwords

Never Too Late to Start The first semester is over now except for the report cards. While you and your parents review your achievements of the first half of the year, try to remember that grades are relative. The school does not grade us entirely on our achievements in relation to our own capabilities, but also on our achievements in relation to those of others. We are the ones who must grade ourselves on our use of our abilities. Our future happiness depends on the accuracy of our judgement of this matter, for it is the truly happy person who knows his own ability, works up to his ability level, and does not spend his life bemoaning the fact that he cannot do more than he is capable of.

So, if you have worked hard for a "C" in chemistry, don't feel inferior because it isn't an "A". And don't let your parents make you feel inferior, either. If a "C" marks the highest level of achievement that you are capable of, be happy with it. But if your teacher thinks that you can do better, whether you agree with him or not, try harder. He may be, and probably is, right.

On the other hand; if you haven't cracked the chem book all semester and you got a "C" anyway, it's not a grade to be happy with. It stands for average achievement.

Are you capable of better work? If so, you are the person who should work harder next semester. It's never too late to start.

Suitor Selection Season Starts

by Judy Projahn Well, girls, it's open season as the Girls' Club gives us our annual chance to get even. This well-received turnabout is popularly known as the Girls' Choice or "Panic in the Boys' Locker Room."

This particular dance is characterized by the eager, enthusiastic faces of the girls and the terror-stricken, doomed attitude assumed by most of the males.

This is the only time of the year when the boys spend more time in the washroom than the girls. There must be an easy way to overcome this social obstacle, so here are some comments and suggestions.

One of the most numerous characters in this true-life drama is the scaredy-cat girl. This girl has a boy she would absolutely love to ask, but she is absolutely petrified to do it. In-

stead she makes up stupid excuses and procrastinates until someone else asks him. Of course this method eliminates the embarrassment of his refusal, but it also eliminates the possibility that he may have gone. I advise this girl to take all her intestinal fortitude in hand and ask the boy. Remember the power of positive thinking.

There is also a scaredy-cat boy. Instead of being afraid to ask, he is afraid to be asked.

He is afraid he will get, as the expression goes, "stuck". I think he should remember that he is lucky if any girl thinks enough of him to ask him.

Count your blessings.

One last character is wellknown to us all. This guy begins saying that he doesn't want to go weeks before he's asked. He also extolls the many virtues of having a swim meet the

same day so he cannot possibly attend. The fact is, that among all these flimsy excuses, this boy is afraid he won't be asked.

The loudest advertisement for uncertainty is over-confidence.

The Girls' Choice is fun. It is the most well-attended dance every year, so don't be afraid to ask or be asked. After all, fifty million girls can't be wrong.

Maine South's Mexican visitors are (from left to right): Ignacio Velasco, Guiliermo Cordera, and Manuel Velasco.

Maine Welcomes Amigos; South Impresses Them "You Americans are well organized, you have very modern things, you spend your time better because you are organized, and you work a lot," stated Ignacio Velasco, 22, one of the three boys from Mexico City who have been visiting Maine South.

Manuel and Ignacio Velasco are visiting Park Ridge on a foreign exchange program. They

Letter-to-Editor

Directors Thank Maine for Food Dear Student Body, Please accept our sincere thanks and appreciation for the contribution of 30 boxes of assorted canned goods which was so generously donated by your school to Newberry Center.

Because you gave so unselfishly, Newberry was able to properly serve its membership.

Without your help this would not have been possible.

Sincerely, Frederick L. Hill, Execctive Director Dear Friends, Not only are you the most generous bearers of Christmas cheer that we know; but you are also the most helpful! The

Eh

food is great—just the type we need most for holiday baskets and dinners. On top of that, you have saved us much time by sorting it in advance. No one ever did that before Maine South came along! Thank you all, so very, very much!

At Christmas I always especially remember those who have blessed us with their friendship.

The students of Maine Township South will certainly be included among the best of those friends.

A blessed and happy Christmas to you all, Father Peter J. Powell, Director St. Augustine Center for American Indians

will stay here one more week with Mr. and Mrs. Edward Zuchowski of Park Ridge, whose children will visit the Velasco family in Mexico next summer.

The brothers attend the University of Mexico where Manuel is studying to be an actuary and Ignacio is studying civil engineering.

Another visitor from Mexico City, Guiliermo (Bill) Cordera, 15, spent the week of January 10 at Maine South. This was his fifth visit to the United States. Guiliermo attends a private high school in Mexico City and hopes to become a lawyer.

Manuel, 18, said, "You are very disciplined and very modern. At this school you have' the best equipment for teaching and learning."

"We hope that all the students learn better because they have this school and hope that they appreciate this school because there are not schools like this everywhere. The students here have a responsibility to learn."

"The people here are very kind to us," Ignacio went on.

"We are grateful to them and to Mr. Coburn because we have had the opportunity to learn about different customs and a different culture than our own and to spend time here."

"We especially like American girls," the two boys concluded.

Families Appreciate Food "Oh, the Lord be praised!

God has sent you to me!" declared Beulah as she received the large food basket. Beulah is a faith healer and takes care of a little seven year old girl whose mother abandoned her six years ago. High rents, maintaining an apartment for her business, and bringing up a young child all detract greatly from her small income. She was most happy with the basket and told the five students the many plans she had for the food. Her little girl shyly thanked them and gave each of them a toy ring.

This was a sample of the deep appreciation shown to the 90 boys and girls who delivered food baskets to many needy families of Chicago. By collecting a ton of canned goods and about $300 for canned chickens in the Food Basket Drive, Student Council gave many families enough food for a Christmas dinner. The students said that the families were very appreciative and welcomed them into their homes.

apartment I visited was rickety; it badly needed a paint job and had hardly any furniture. A blanket was hung as a door and newspapers covered the floor. Everyone we talked to was very nice. The woman was most grateful for the food and asked us to come in and talk to her."

Nicki Sieveke, '66, explained that the people who have received the food have to spend much of their income on rent alone and often do not have enough money for food for their children. Cassie Chauvin, '69, added "The homes were poor with rickety furniture, but each had a Christmas tree."

Debi Hall '67, told of her experience. "We visited one apartment which was very clean and spotless, even though the woman had very little money. She to'.d us that she had just gotten home from the hospital and had no food in the house, and so was very grateful for the food we brought. In another home the woman was very apologetic of how dirty and messy her home was. She thanked us but Most times both parents were we could tell she was most away at work, and the little ashamed." children were left home alone.

Jill Conway '66, public relaThey were shy and afraid but tions chairman of Student Counsoon were very friendly. cil, commented, "Since our Ruth Schlosser, '68, said, "The school is so large, many times

the kids bring their food and money and never know what happens to it. This year we wanted to have it personal.

Everyone who wanted to could go with us to distribute the food; they saw that their gifts were really appreciated. I hope that we will continue to do it this way. The Food Basket Drive is our only all-school project; it depends on the students' support for its success."

French Abroad' Students Plan To Attend Campus in Quimper "French Abroad" will again be offered this summer to any student who has completed one or more years of French by departure time. Through this program, students will have the opportunity to earn academic credit by attending summer school in France.

Prior to departure, the students will attend a two-week orientation course, providing cultural background and intensive conversation practice, to groom the participants for smooth adjustment to living in a foreign country.

The Maine group will fly first by chartered plane to London, where they will spend four days sightseeing with a side-trip to Cambridge. They will cross by Channel ferry to Quimper, where they will attend four weeks of language and civilization classes taught by professors from the University of Rennes in Brittany. Participants will receive a full year's credit in French upon completion of the course.

Quimper is a departmental capital and family vacation center in Southeastern Brittany.

Here students will have the opportunity to observe folk dancing, traditional costumes, and other folklore on Bastille Day, July 14, and during the Grande Fete de Cornouaille, July 24.

Maine students will live in the dormitories of a newly constructed lycee, where they will be supervised by adult French counselors and the American chaperones. Classes will be held in the morning only, the afternoons being devoted to organized sports, social activities, and excursions.

Excursions have been ar-

ranged for the Maine group to see the curious old monastery of Mount Saint-Michel, the ancient megaliths at Carnac, the walled island city of Saint-Malo, the Chateau country of the Loire Valley, and the forest of Paimpont, setting of the Arthurian legends.

The trip will be climaxed by a six-day visit to the French

capital before the group returns to O'Hare. The program will last eight weeks, including the two-week orientation course.

French Abroad is being organized by Mr. Paul Griffith, of the Maine South language department, in cooperation with the French Ministry of Education and the American Council for Study Abroad. Mr. Griffith led the French Abroad group in 1965. Working with him as co-chaperon this year is Mrs. Ethel Simons, French teacher at Maine East.

There are still some spaces available for this summer, but the number of participants will be strictly limited, so interested students should apply very soon.

New Signs Aid Drivers The Driver Education Department would like to call attention to the many new traffic signs which have been posted on school property. Stop signs have been posted at all exits, and a fifteen mile per hour speed limit has been put into effect on the drive connecting the East parking lot with Talcott Avenue. One-way signs have also been posted on the property.

Additional signs are being put up, and when the job is completed, the Student T r a f f i c Court will go actively into effect. Tickets will be issued by the Traffic Court to students violating traffic laws on school property.

According to school policy, fines issued by the Traffic Court will not exceed three dollars. Habitual offenders, however, may have their driving privileges on school property suspended for a month at a time.

Mr. Minerick, driver education department chairman, reminds students that, the school is not obligated to provide a parking area for the students, and being allowed to drive to school is a privilege which should be respected.

Cagers Face Niles North Derek Gilna

Tonight at 7 p.m. the Hawks will tangle with Niles North in our third conference game of the year. Last Saturday Glenbrook South defeated Niles N. by the score of only 25 to 24, so they are a team to be reckoned with, but certainly no Glenbrook South.

Niles North plays a peculiar brand of ball, and as you might guess from the score of the last game, they employ the stall most effectively. If they ever build a sizable lead, they can be counted upon to slow the

game to a dead stop. Mike Reeves was held to six points in his game with Niles North.

Weil, 6' 3", will be the Niles center. Weil can jump well for his size and did an excellent defensive job on Reeves.

Mazze and McKay are the team leaders and the key men in the Niles North stall.

This game is an absolute must for Maine South. The Hawks must continue to polish off these lesser teams in the hope that Glenbrook South will be tripped up along the way and to prepare for their return match with

Glenbrook in February.

As all but the most skeptical who saw last Friday's game could see, Maine is a team powerful enough to give Glenbrook South trouble in the final race. The Hawks have come a long way since their game with York, who by the way is now second in State.

So far home attendance has been great, although half the kids look like they're at home watching television. It's the away games where South has done poorly and not just in basketball. It's a disgrace when a school Maine's size is unable to muster at least one busload of students for an away game.

You can be sure that G.S. will pack the rafters for the return match on their home court.

I'd hate to think we lost from lack of support.

For the faint hearted who remember Reeve's 37 points, remember that the rest of the team averaged about 3 points a man. Reeves will be stopped, even if it takes two men to do it.

" M r . Brady, would it be safe to say this will be the toughest team you will face this year?"

After dropping their first conference game in a thrilling contest with Glenbrook South 63 to 62, Maine South bounced back to smash Deerfield 72-64, squaring their conference record at one and one.

Although at one time holding a 10-1 lead, South was unable to contain the scoring power of G l e n b r o o k South's Mike

Hawk Wrestlers Meet Tough Competition In Recent Weeks The Maine South Grapplers ended the old year in fine style but started the new year on a sour note.

After fine showings in the Ridgewood and Glenbrook South tournaments in which they took fifth and fourth places respectively, they went on to lose three straight. Settling their non-conference record at three wins and four losses with a 14 to 26 loss to Forest View, they promptly lost their first two conference meets, 17 to 23 at the hands of Glenbrook South and an 8 to 36 defeat by Deerfield.

Finest wrestler continues to be junior John Pirie at 95 lbs.

His perfect record is still unmarred. He was the bright spot during the holiday tournaments with two first place medals, just managing to overshadow Bob Simpson, who took a first and second place medals in the tournaments.

Other medal winners were Terry Harmon with a first, Ed Walsh with a second, and Gary Lundgren with a fourth at Glenbrook South, and Mike Plessner with a second at the Ridgewood tournament.

But then came the dual meets and ill omens were seen at Forest View as the Hawks were unable to win one of the last six weights.

Conference competition came next, and coach Ziemek found his boys at something less than full strength with Les Mathews having to fill in for Bob Simpson for both meets and Ray Rozny filling in for Mike Plessner in the Deerfield match.

With no wins yet in conference competition, it is now time

to start looking toward individual honors with several still in competition for conference titles.

In the two conference meets thus far, John Pirie and sophomore Mike Muschal have been the only two to win both matches, along with Mike Plessner who won his only conference match.

These records will be put to a good test in the following weeks with conference meets against Niles North on Saturday, January 22, at 2 p.m., and against Glenbrook North, Fri-

day, January 28, at 7:30 p.m.

Reeves and lost their lead midway in the second period.

Rick Kilinski and Dave Strom accounted for the bulk of the Hawk scoring in the first half.

Strom's 11 points and the 13 of Kilinski kept Maine South within range and at the half Maine was down only 7 points, 36 to 29.

By the end of the third quarter the Hawks had closed the gap to only 4 points, 49 to 45 and put on a determined drive in the fourth frame. Maine began to find the range and suddenly trailed 61 to 60. With only 1:38 to go Strom took the ball at the top of the key and made a fifteen foot jump shot to give the Hawks an apparent lead.

The official called Maine for three seconds in the lane, however, and Glenbrook took advantage of the break, Reeves adding the clinching basket.

Strom sunk a lay-up as the gun went off, but a three point play had been necessary and Glenbrook won. Reeves dominated the game with 37 points, Strom leading the Hawk attack with 19.

Although the Hawk defensive play was not up to par in the Deerfield game, it was more than adequate. Maine never

Three Striper Dick Hood Not every Tom, Dick, and Harry can make two varsity teams, but in effect this is what the Hood clan has done for nearly a decade in Maine sports.

Following the well-worn path of his two brothers, who distinguished themselves at Maine East, Dick Hood last year became the first Maine South athlete to letter in three unrelated Hawk sports—football, gymnastics, and baseball.

For two years he has pulled in more than his share of passes from his right end spot and was elected one of the team's two captains of the football team.

Dick has also participated on the gymnastics team, this year holding down important positions in three events. For the past two years he has worked rings and highbar and added parallel bars to his list of events this year.

The fast left-hander pitched his way last year to a 1 and 1 record and threw a one-hitter during the legion season. This year he thinks the going will be tougher, "We've got more pitchers than anything else."

Besides his sports activities, Dick checks in with four accelerated subjects—English, calculus, chemistry, and German.

Dick has also found time to preside over Boy's Club meetings and participate in M-Club.

Dick's pet peeve is lack of school unity, "At the basketball games, everyone's there, but that's all. Everybody acts like they're dead." Dick agrees that progress has been made.

Future plans include either University of Michigan or M.I.T. where Dick hopes to continue his athletics.

trailed and led at the half 35 to 28. Strom and Wehman led Hawk scorers with 8 points each.

Deerfield put on an excellent surge in the third quarter and cut the gap to 3 points, 51 to 48'.

South had been playing a some what relaxed game but the Park Ridgians came alive in the fourth quarter and won by eight points.

Paul Wehman led Hawk scorers with 16, Strom and Kilinski following with 15 and 12 points respectively. Jeff Reinke hit for his highest total of the year with 12. Tom McClayton scored 7 points, while Tom Beck trailed the field with 6.

Tankers Meet Niles Tonight Tonight is the time for Maine South's swimmers to win a second place or even a cochampionship for themselves in Mid Suburban league competition.

The swimmers meet Niles North at 7:30 p.m at Niles.

Niles is the only other team in the conference with a five and one record to match the Hawks.

Deerfield, conference leaders at six and one, beat Niles North earlier and then edged the Hawks last Friday night.

If the Hawks win tonight, they will have a firm grip on second. With one meet to go against Forest View next Friday, the Hawks could turn the conference meets on February 11 and 12 into a battle for first place.

A first place win by the Hawks at conference meet would bring them into a tie with Deerfield and leave Niles North in second.

Tonight should see South's strong diving, individual medley relay, backstroke, and medley relay swimmers with wins.

Niles North's formidable performers in the 200- and 400-yard free style relays and their backstrokers should win for them.

The meet will be decided in the other events where neither team has a clear cut edge.

The swimming team finishes its dual meet competition against New Trier next week, January 29, at New Trier at 7:30 p.m.
