Foreign Grads To Voice Views on U.S. at Forum Many people are curious to know what impression the peoples around the world have of Americans. This question will be answered for them at the third lecture sponsored by the Maine South Student Council Social Science Forum February 17 in C-127. The topic will be. "American Democratic Institutions and Life As Seen By the Non-Westerner." Tickets are free and may be obtained from any Student Council representative or in the Maine South bookstore until the given date. Adults, as well as students, are invited.
Discussing the topic will be a panel of four graduate students from the University of Chicago: an Indian, a Mid-Easterner, a Tropical African, and a FarEasterner. These students represent the educated, elite people of the Far East, whose beliefs range from Judiasm to Islam. Mr. Eric Edstrom, social science teacher at South, stated. "The purpose of this talk is to further attempt to analyze the nature of democratic institutions and see from outside sources the working of institutions and people in the United States."

Dr. Richard R. Short, superintendent of schools at Hastings, Nebraska, has been chosen to succeed Dr. Earl W. Wiltse as superintendent of Maine Township high schools. Dr. Wiltse must retire on June 30, 1966, having reached the age of 65. He plans to continue his work in education as a professor at Northern Illinois University. Dr. Short has three degrees from the University of Nebraska —Bachelors, Master of Arts, and Doctor of Education. The new superintendent brings to Maine a wide range of professional experience as a teacher, assistant principal, principal, and superintendent of schools. He is past president of the National Council of Teachers of Mathematics of Nebraska and was elected to make a study tour of the U.S.S.R. by the American Association of School Administrators. He was also awarded the Distinguished Service Award by the Nebraska Junior Chanlber of Commerce in 1964.

chairman. Dr. Thomas Helde, to prepare this intensive summer program. The National Defense Education Act seeks to teach secondary school teachers information about critical areas of the world and to add depth to their preparation in a particular specialty which is, in Mr. Edstrom's case, European history and the Non-Western World. Mr. Edstrom must "relate subject matter being taught in the school of history to its relevance in the secondary school." Some of the new techniques are explained, such as simulation, team teaching, electronics, development of Global World History, a regional analysis of the Western and Non-Western World, and resource centers that can be used to provide new and additional materials to the classroom. He holds degrees from the University of Wisconsin and Northwestern University and is doing further work at the University of Chicago. Mr. Edstrom has been teaching at Maine Schools since 1959. He taught first at Maine West and came to Maine South when it opened. He is presently the Director of the Social Science Forum at South.

Start Sharing Sports Support Hail the valiant lettermen as they stroll nonchalantly on to the playing floor. Cheer wildly as they radiate self-assurance. Oh and ah at the sight of their manly phisiques. We are proud of our athletes. Hail the valiant members of the G.A.A. as they stroll nonchalantly on to the playing floor. Sneer nastily as they do their best. Giggle at the sight of their stunning blue gymsuiits. Quick, hidq our athletes. Now that you have read the preceeding, which you all know to be true, I ask you, "What kind
of attitude is that?" Surely the girls deserve as much recognition for their achievements as do the boys. It just happens that all the major sports seem to be played by boys. Most girls, themselves, do not pay enough attention to sports, either male or female, although the former does seem to be in the lead. Its time that we put some support behind our girls' athletic teams. I know that many girls feel that physical education is a superfluous part of their lives. It does not seem that vaulting
'Spirit of '66' Crew Plays Vital Role in Production A variety show is very much like an iceberg in that the surface does not reveal the mountain behind it. That mountain is the crew work which supports any stage production. Maine South's V-Show, Spirit of '66, has some of the best behindthe-scenes support available. One of these groups is the writing staff, under the supervision of Mr. Hal Chastain, V-Show director, and headed by Dave Mallow, '66. The staff includes; Judy Projahn '67, Dick Katschke '67, Cindy Loew '66, Margie Grant '66, Sue Sieber '66, and Margie Press '67. The writing staff has one of the most difficult tasks. They must write skits to bridge the gap between acts d e p i c t i n g stages of growing up. They are responsible for the continuity of the shows theme, which is growing up. Dick Katschke summarized the work by saying, "It is the responsibility of the staff to write nine humorous scripts involving some thirty people." Judy Projahn added, ''The casts for these scripts are chosen before the scripts are written, so we are also limited in the characters we can create. In addition, the writing staff may be called upon to revise dialogue in other acts." The costume staff, under the guidance of Miss Karen Turnbleson of the Home Economics Department, must discuss costume ideas with the V-Show act captains and then create original costume designs. They create the patterns, order the material, and distribute these to the captains. The members of each act are then responsible for constructing their own costumes. The costume staff, headed by Sue Bush '67, and Mary Murray '67, includes: F l o r e n c e Smith '68, Melissa Finney '67, Nancy Rossel '67, Beverly Burns '67, and Jane Olsen '68. The choreography staff, under the guidance of Mrs. Nancy Mueller, a gym teacher at South, is headed by Jan Goble '66, and Pat Price '67. Jan, who was student choreographer for
last year's V-Show, said, "The opportunities that are available to us this year are limitless. We are planning on having a very exciting and creative show." In addition to doing their own dance duet, Jan and Pat aid Mrs. Mueller in creating the dances and relating them to the theme. Among these dances will be a modern ballet, a tap dance, a discotheque, and a number by the boy's dance chorus. Also, if other acts are having trouble with dance steps they may consult the choreography staff for a solution. With the amount and quality of the work put in by these V-Show staffs the Spirit of '66 should prove well worth seeing.
and field hockey are going to help you along the road to domesticity, but it helps. A little activity now will prevent you from falling apart at forty or shortly there after. The team sports offered by the physical education department can be very enjoyable activities. It would do any of us well to look into them. If this article seems as though it is slanted toward the girls, it is. This is because boys are just naturally interested in that sort of thing. Maine South girls should participate in the intramural program that we have, here, and if your coordination seems to have sunk below the level of mediocrity, lend your voice in a little moral support. Remember that the girls' athletic teams work just as hard as the boys'. Let's start giving them some of the glory, and stop sneering. Start cheering!
Share' Shows They Care Over 75 boys and girls have offered to share their time and effort with underprivileged children in the Hyde Park and Englewood neighborhoods of Chicago. They are participating in "Share," a project sponsored by the Southtown YMCA. It is organized on a one-to-one relationship with the children. Each student will help one boy or girl during the nine Satur-

It was great. We would like to compliment the student body on its tremendous show of unity and school spirit. It is this sort of enthusiasm that we have been striving for. Spirit makes the game more exciting for the spectators and far more encouraging for the team. We are proud of our team, and we let the faculty know it at this game. Why, then, are we afraid to display the same pride to another school? More often than not, spirit ebbs because students feel that it is not socially acceptable to cheer. The M-ClubFaculty game seems to be the annual event during which cheering is permissable. Why not cheer at other games? Having discovered that school spirit is not fatal, we hope students will continue to attend and participate in school activities. We have shown that we have the spirit within us. We ought to let it out more often.
day morning sessions at Rust Memorial Church and at Calvary Methodist Church. The tutoring includes helping the children academically as well as in a personal manner — they play games, listen to music, and help them in reading and arithmetic. National Honor Society, Key Club, and Future Teachers Club were especially asked to take part in "Share." At their first meeting last Saturday the tutors were told about ways to help the children. Linda Reidland '67, Carol Niemann '67, and Peggy Teevan '68 tutored children at Merillac House in Chicago. Last year each of the girls was in charge of three children. They found their experiences with them both rewarding and interesting. One of the girls whom Carol Niemann helped had lived in Louisiana. "Jessie had to pick cotton all day in the fields. It was hot, sticky, very tiring, and she hated it. She told me she was very happy in Chicago because she didn't have to pick cotton any more." Linda remembered her first experience with a little nineyear-old girl. "I asked her to write her name for me. She couldn't write it, so she just copied the letters "Nn Oo Pp" which were printed on the blackboard. It was so sad to think that she couldn't even write her own name. A little boy named Roosevelt lived near Lake Michigan but had never seen a boat beore. I also tutored a Puerto Rican boy. He was the only one at home who spoke English, and he had to translate for the whole family." Peggy Teevan taught the
small children to read and helped the older ones with their math and reading. "They were all very interested and wanted to learn. It was a great experience. On the last day the three children gave me a gift — a little handkerchief. Many of the kids had old and torn clothing. They came from large families and wore hand-me-downs." Debbie LaDolce '68, participated in Project Share this summer. "The little girls were all excited and wore their party dresses. We took the children on field trips to the beach and to the Planetarium. This was a new experience for most of them." Mrs. Aida Farmer, sponsor of National Honor Society, enthusiastically supports Project Share. "I am most pleased with the tremendous response we received for 'Share.' It shows that teenagers really do care about other people and want to help them. These students are giving up their Saturday mornings when they could be doing other things for themselves. I like to see that teenagers get recognition for the constructive things they do such as this project." Mr. Stuart Dinken, sponsor of Key Club, was also very happy with the large turn-out. "I hope that students participating in 'Share' will undertake this as a long-term project rather than just going once. They will find that they will not only be teaching, but will also be learning by working with the youngsters." Miss Angoli, sponsor of Future Teachers Club, commented, "Without a doubt our students will find that this service is a rewarding experience."

The general opinion of Maine South students (especially boys) seems to be that girls don't know anything about sports. This week Southwords is attempting to disprove this theory by using girl sports reporters. The reporters included Sue Gunn '66. Maggie Friend "66, Nancy Petersen '68, Linnea Priest '66. and Tilly Sullivan '66. The girls covered wrestling, swimming, gymnastics, indoor track, and frosh-soph basketball. What did the girls think of their strange assignments? Linnea Priest commented, "It was a nice change from the daily routine, and I enjoyed the scen-
ery very much." Maggie Friend added. "It was a lot of fun watching the guys practice and learning about the sport." Nancy Petersen concluded, "It sure beats covering girls' sports!" How did the coaches feel about the girls? "If a girl would get interested in a sport, she could do a good job. She could add a different color and angle to sports and perhaps interest other girls," stated Mr. Thomas Z i e m e k, wrestling coach. Mr. John Tilly, swimming coach added, "It would help if a girl knew something about the sport she was covering. Other than that, girls are just fine."

South Skiers and Snowbunnies Storm Slopes Since January 14, 100 Maine South students have been participating each week in the Ski Club trips. Each Friday, if weather conditions are favorable for skiing, two buses leave school at 4:00 p.m. for the trip to Wilmot. Students ski until 10 p.m. and return to school at 11:30 p.m. The club has taken four trips this year, and they will probably continue skiing until the middle of March. "This is an excellent opportunity for people who have never skied before to find out if they enjoy it. Three-fourths of the students who go are beginners," stated Mr. Gary Hahn, sponsor of the group. Skiing with the club is about half the cost of skiing on your own. Students pay S3 for transportation and skiing and an additional $2 if they rent equipment. . . . Ski Lessons Offered The ski school at Wilmot offers lessons at a nominal cost. All students are encouraged to take these lessons. No one can ski with the club unless they have adequate insurance coverage. If a student
does not have accident insurance, he can purchase a special 24-hour coverage plan through the book store for S10. If the student already has school insurance he need only pay an additional S5.50. Each week various teachers accompany the students. Chaperones thus far have included Mr. Michael Hinkemeyer, Miss Kelly Fox. Mr. Ronald Butler. Miss Karen Tumbleson. and Mr. R. Snider. Ski Club has grown greatly in the past year. Last year an average of only 35 students skied each week. This year the number has increased to 100. . . . Club Acquired Patch
The club has recently acquired its own ski patch. In the past they used the same design as Maine East used. Officers of the club are: Gary Tetzloff "66, president: Andy Huebner '68. vice-president; Larry Wickman '68, treasurer; Judy Van Auken '68, secretary: and Sally Emerson '67, Sgt. at Arms. Mr. Gary Hahn, commented. "The members are all very enthusiastic, and their spirit and morale is remarkably high."

Don Describes Wilmot Trips "Wilmot is one of the biggest and best ski areas around Chicago. It has more facilities and lifts than many other similar areas around here." This is just one of the many reasons why Don Johnson '67, skis at Wilmot with the Maine South Ski Club. Every Friday at 4 p.m. when skiing conditions are good, Ski Club members and other interested skiers board a chartered bus and depart for Wilmot, a ski area about 70 miles from Chicago. Often, enough students go so that two buses are needed. The students are accompanied by Mr. Gary Hahn, Ski Club sponsor, who also helps beginners learn the fundamentals of skiing. When the skiers reach Wilmot. they are handed tickets entitling them to use the lifts and rent necessary equipment. "About half the kids have their own equipment, and others can rent

New Engineering Course Designed to Save Time Next year Maine South's Industrial Education department is offering a course in Engineering Graphics to any student interested in engineering, and who has had two years of math in a college preparatory course, with a "B" in his second year of math. The course will meet one period a day and carry one-half credit. A workbook will be used along with the text as a timesaver, and homework will be kept at a minimum. Mr. Stanley Bentall, Chairman of the department, stated that this will be a theory course rather than an ordinary graphic course. Mr. Bentall commented that by taking this course, the student interested in an engineering career may avoid two problems. He said that this course is similar to a three period a day course in college. Engineering Graphics is a timesaver, and may permit the better students to test their likes in freshman college drawing. Mr. Bentall stated that col-
lege freshman failure is high in drawing, because students were not able to take mechanical drawing in high school due to tight scheduling and heavy requirements for the course.
The winner of the corsage contest at the Girls' Choice Dance held Saturday, February 5, was Roxanne Schuessler '67. The corsage Roxanne made for her date, Jim McCullough "67, consisted of a hat decorated with sponges, seaweed, and fish, surrounding the name "K i n g N e p t n e." Jim also wore a large sign on his back on which Roxanne had written "Of all the fish in the sea, you're the Kingfish for me." The couple won the album Sounds of Silence for their creativity.
Business Education Students Attend Chicago Conference Today Fifteen business education students from Maine South are participating today in the Twenty-first Annual Business Students Conference held at Chicago's Conrad Hilton Hotel. The conference, sponsored by the Chicago Area Business Educators Association, will draw more than 800 high school students from the Chicago area. "The Joy of Business" will be the keynote address given by William Harrison Fetridge, President of the Dartnell Corporation, Chicago. Other speakers on the program include: Vaughn Anderson, President of the Admini-

A highlight of the program will be the Office Machines Show sponsored by the Chicago Chapter of the Administrative Management Society (formerly the Office Management Association of Chicago.)
it at Wilmot at reduced group rates," said Don. After leaving the bus, the members are free to practice their .skiing. Don stated. "Mr. Hahn gives lessons to inexperienced skiers, but he recommended that if we want more advanced lessons, we should take them at the ski school at Wilmot. We have several hours to ski, and we return to school at about 11:30 p.m. "If about forty more kids would sign up to go to Wilmot,
Ski Club could charter another bus and no one would have to stand, ' continued Don. "Joining the club really benefits members both socially and athletically. The chief advantage, though, of coming with a group is that rates are reduced, and three or four dollars can be saved on transportation and rental every trip." When asked his personal reason for joining Ski Club. Don replied simply, "Because I like to ski."
Club Donates Backdrop; Boat Club Plans Outings Business Club, sponsored by the business education department, has chosen as this year's project the purchase of a curtain to serve as backdrop for the stage during special school assemblies and the graduation ceremonies. The $600 gift, will include a matching skirt for the stage. The material chosen for the curtain and skirt is an antique red satin. Money for this project was earned by the Business Club under the direction of president Roberta Thompson with the aid of sponsors Mr. J. Norman Anderson and Mrs. Rosella Dieter, through the operation of the concession stand outside the spectator gym. . . . Boaters Plan Show Boat Club, sponsored by Mr.
William Mann plans to get into action as soon as the ice breaks. On February 8. Commander Slearn of the Coast Guard gave a talk to the club after school in C-I20. Two movies were shown of boating accidents and water safety. Future plans include a trip to McCormick Place; outings to Fox River, Channel Lake, and Lake Geneva; and a Maine South boat show to kick off the boating season. The show will take place in April on the school grounds. Members will bring their boats, tent and camping equipment. A commercial company will display equipment with the intent to educate students in boating rather than to sell equipment.

Maine Battles Clenbrook For Share of 1st
As Niles North players stab ineffectually, Paul Wehman grabs off the rebound for Maine South.
First place will be the prize in tonight's game at Glenbrook South when the surging Varsity cagers take on the undefeated Titans. \ win over Glenbrook would tie Maine for the lead with Glenbrook and put them in excellent position for the last four games. Glenbrook S. is led by their 6'6" center Mike Reeves, the nucleus of their offense. Stop Reeves and you stop Glenbrook. Maine did just this in the first quarter of their last meeting with Reeves. The result? Maine led 10-1, before finally being downed by one point and that controversial 3-second call. Since then the team has won four straight victories, but all the while they have looked ahead to this game. All week the squad has been practicing methods of stopping Reeves. Rest assured that he will be .stopped. Those making the trip io Glenbrook via bus or car will be rewarded with the most exciting ^ame of the season. Make no mistake: this is the bog one.

Tankers, Musclemen, Look To Conference, District Meet The Maine South Tankers will participate in three important meets this month. The conference meet will be held at Niles West this weekend, February 11 and 12: the district meet will be held at Evanston on February 18 and 19; and the state meet will be held at Hinsdale South on February 25 and 26. These meets will finish off a season with overall records for the Freshman team of one win and three losses; for the FroshSoph team of seven wins and six losses; and for the Varsity team of nine wins and three losses. The conference record for the Frosh-Soph team is five wins and four losses, and for the Varsity team is six wins and two losses. "We have some outstanding swimmers who will be returning next year," commented Coach Tilley. "Some boys to watch will be: Chip Ward '67 and Jim
Kendall "67 in the 50-yard free style; Ed Currier '67 in the 100yard freestyle; Jim McCullough '67 and Pete Bowen '67 in the 200-yard and 400-yard freestyles; Frank McCullough 68 and Dave McKenzie '67 in the 100 yard backstroke; Tom Torgersen '67 and Jim Popp '67 in the breaststroke; and Ray McCullough, an outstanding freshman, in the 200-yard individual medley (butterfly, backstroke, breast-stroke, and crawl) and in the butterfly." The Varsity gymnastics thus far has had a disappointing season and looks to do better in the upcoming meets against Prospect on February 18 and their other conference opponents in the Central Suburban meet on February 26.

Win Sophs Also Strong Also having a fine year are Coach Schmidt's Junior Varsity cagers who tonight will be looking for their second straight win over Glenbrook South and their sixth consecutive conference victory. Glenbrook South, Deerfield, Niles North, Glenbrook North, and Niles West have all fallen once each to the little Hawks thus far, giving the squad commanding control of first place. Scoring leader for this year's team has been junior Randy O'Hare who, since moving down from Varsity, has tallied 66 points and compiled a 13.1 game average. His partner at the guard position, Jim Raymond, is the team captain and chief playmaker with 43 points. Clogging up the middle for the first four games was 6'5" freshman center Dave Butz, who has since moved up to varsity. Bill Murphy is now the starting center. Other Hawks with high scoring averages are Jim Schmitz, Mike Masoncup, and Gary Lange each has seen extensive action.
The sophomore basketball team has battled their way to become the leaders of the Central Suburban Conference, with first place just three games away.
Jim Gearian. The future of Mr. Ricitelli's team is a bright one, however, because of the power of this year's frosh-soph squad.

The team has had an outstanding year with a 12-1 record for the season and a 4-0 record in conference competition.

On Saturday night the Hawks will meet third-place Deerfield on the Hawk court. Deerfield should also be tough (We beat them 72-64 last time) but this game will mean very little if we lose at Glenbrook South on Friday night. Jeff Reinke. 6'5" Maine center, will be assigned to Reeves tonight. Jeff pestered Reeves a great deal in their last meeting and has improved since then. Last week he held Timmings, Niles W. hotshot (14 a v e r ) , to only two points. (The

Grapplers Winless In Conference Maine South wrestlers ended a disappointing season with a 0 and 5 record in conference and only 3 wins in their 12 dual meets.

The preliminaries of the tournament will be held at 7 p.m. Februarp 11. The semi final and finals will be held at 10 a.m. and 1 p.m. respectively the next day.

year's champions. West Leyden, and York. Several Flawks should make it to Palatine sectionals the following week. Of Maine wrestlers John Pirie has the best chance to succeed. . . .
