Commenting on the duties of a Junior Leader, Miss Pierce said, "When a girl is selected as a Junior Leader, she is enrolled in a special training program. She is trained to officiate sports, help with squad practice, assist with the necessary class duties, teach skills and techniques of play, develop an awareness of the problems involved in working with a group, and become increasingly better skilled in all areas of physical education."

When asked what purpose the Junior Leader program serves, Miss Pierce replied, "The leader program provides an excellent opportunity to develop the qualities of leadership. The medium of physical activities not only develops organic vigor, but also develops self-confidence, initiative, self-control, reliability, and good sportsmanship."

The rewards of such a program are many. "After successfully completing the Junior Leader experience, a girl becomes a Senior Leader," Miss Pierce added.

Legality vs. Common Sense in Student Council

by Judy Projahn It was recently my pleasure to' witness a Student Council meeting. It was an experience I shall long remember as a typical scene in the houses of government. My purpose in this venture was to accompany our editor in presenting a petition requesting a homeroom vote to be taken on an amendment to the constitution. It is the following procedure I shall relate to you so that you may marvel at and ponder them as I have done.

Upon arriving at the meeting, we discovered that arrangements to present a new amendment were already in progress.

"Well, George called me last night and told me to present this petition today."

"I don't know anything about that. I wish somebody would tell me what's going on here."

"Well, he obviously wants to present this amendment."

"But I thought he was supporting the other one."

"It doesn't look like that, does it?"

"He told me he was for the first one."

"Well, why would he ask us to present the second one?"

"I didn't even know the sec-

ond one was ready."

"The second what?"

No one answered. That was probably because they were totally lost, but the meeting continued. AH went very well until Linnea presented her petition. Some conscientious representative ventured to ask her why she was presenting the petition at that particular time.

"Well," she began, "we were afraid that Student Council wouldn't pass it and . . ."

"Point of Order. Point of Order."

"She can't do that. Point of Order. Discussion. You can't discuss a motion."

"But I was only trying to answer a question."

"Change it to a Point of Information. Point of Information.

Point of Information?"

"Are we changing it to a Point of Information?"

"Yeah. Point of Information.

We refer the question to the chair."

"The chair will be glad to answer that Point of Information. We were afraid Student Council wouldn't pass it and. . ."

By this time I was totally lost, overwhelmed at the complexity of student government.

Little did I realize that the best was still to come. Scott was in the process of presenting his new amendment when the chair pointed out that a written notice had to be presented to the chair at the previous meeting before the vote could be taken. So Scott presented his written notice and the whirlwind that followed was amazing.

"I move we adjourn the meeting."

"Second."

"What are we adjourning for.

We have five minutes left."

"I know. We're going to finish this meeting and start another one so we can vote on this amendment."

"That's funny."

"It may be funny, but its legal."

"All those in favor? The motion is carried. The meeting is adjourned. The meeting is called to order. We will dispense with the minutes."

"What minutes?"

"The minutes of the meeting that just finished."

"I move we accept the new amendment as read."

"Hold it: We have to say the pledge."

"There's no time for the pledge. We have to vote on

"And by cleverly placed loopholes, we can get around nearly every rule in the constitution."

this thing right away."

"We have to say the pledge."

"All right. All right. All rise for the pledge."

"I pledge allegiance to the flag . . . . hurry up. We've only got ninety seconds . . .

with liberty and justice for all."

"I move that we accept the new amendment as read."

"Second."

"All those in favor? . . . ."

At that moment the bell rang in behalf of common sense.

Kate' Cast, Crew, Choruses Start Clicking

Rehearsals are now well under way for the Maine South musical production, Kiss Me . Kate. The show will be presented on April 28, 29, 30, and May 1.

Kiss Me Kate is actually a play within a play. It relates the trials and tribulations of a troop of actors and actresses presenting The Taming of the Shrew. The story involves the close parallel between the actors and actresses and the characters in The Taming of the Shrew.

The music was written by Cole Porter and includes "Wun• derbar," "So In Love," and "Too Darn Hot." The part of Lilli Vanessi is played by Paulette Lindgren • '67, and Peggy Bussert '66. Both girls had major roles in Oklahoma! and have participated in V-Show for the past two years. ' Paulette commented, "Lilli is the complete woman, at least

Paul could faintly be heard mumbling ". . . able to ' leap tall buildings in a single bound . . ."

But valiant, dedicated workers they were as they sung their own rendition of "Turnaround" accompanied by the kazoo of student music director, Dave Anderson.

she thinks she is. She's very headstrong and not very diplomatic." Peggy added, "She's also very conceited, egotistical, and very vivacious."

Paulette also commented, "There are some really terrific character roles in the show.

The music is great, the dancing is very good, and all in all, it will be a great success."

Portraying Lilli's husband, Fred Graham, will be Don Anderson '67 and Gregg Neptune '67. Don has held major roles in Oklahoma! and The Miracle Worker, while this is Gregg's first show. "Fred Graham is part writer, director, actor, and part superman. He is a commanding, egotistical individual," stated Gregg.

Don continued, "Fred is a loveable scrooge. As the lead, he has the responsibility of keeping the show 'moving,' both musically and dramatically."

Don also said, "Kiss Me Kate is quick-witted and certainly not outdated. This show promises to be better than the average 'amature' production. It will duplicate the brilliant success of Oklahoma!, The Miracle Worker, and Arsenic and Old Lace."

Seniors in the vocal chorus include: Jill Conway, Richard Dean, Jonette Harstick, Carol Koulos, Linda Krettler, Karen Meyer, Carol Quick, David Pirie, Diane Reporto, Elizabeth Smith, Sue Turley, Diane Link, and Chris Wuehrmann.

Juniors are: Julie Brearton, Fred Jaeger, Lynette Johnson, Sue Kott, Marcia LaSage, Doug Olsen, and Margaret Williams.

Sophomores in the chorus are: Bruce Anderson, Richard Carlson, Larry Getz, Martha Hale, Marilyn Johnson, Lynn Lohre, Laurie Shedden, Wayne Miller, and Paul Thompson.

Seniors in the dance chorus include: Chuck Doubler, Bill Fitch, Jan Goble, Ted Gregory, Donna Hood, Joel Murdy, and Fritz Zeisberg.

Juniors are: Sue Braun, Debbie Butler, Jean Chamberlain, Chris Geisler, Jim Meyer, Pat Standa, and Tom Torgersen.

Sophomores are: Jim Luety, Luz Montero, Paul Riis, and Bob Shroeder, and freshmen include Vicki Grant and Lenora Raia.

Supervising the backstage work is John McCallum '67, stage manager. Crew heads include: Rodney Rieger '67, con struction; Cyndi Brown '66, props; Margo De Cicco '67 and Kathie Soales '66, painting; Jack Miller '67, lighting; Barb Prykan '67 and Carol Zielinski '66, make up; Maggie Friend '66, house manager; and Carol Niemann '67, publicity.

The show is directed by: Mr. Lloyd Spear, music director; Mr. Irwin Bell, vocal director; Mr. Donald Martello, stage director; Mr. Hal Chastain, technical director; Mr. Walter Flechsig, assistant music director; Miss Barbara Bobrich, choreographer; and Marsha Mountain '66, student director.

Mr. Spear stated, "With the fine cast, crew, and directors, we cannot fail to give a very successful show."

"Now THAT'S what I call a publicity campaign!"

Ticket Plan Aids Court "Three things can happen to a traffic ticket when it is put under the windshield wiper," said Mr. John Minerick, sponsor of Student Traffic Court.

"First, the wind blows away the ticket and rain or snow will make it illegible; second, other students might come along and throw away the tickets; and finally, the student himself will throw it away."

The system that the Maine South Traffic Court is using insures that the student receives

his ticket. The tickets are saved, some as long as six or seven days, and put in the homeroom teacher's mailbox for him to deliver to the student.

A reminder form is being made which will be put under the windshield wiper the day that the student receives his ticket.

"We feel that this new system will be more effective in bringing the student into Traffic Court," Mr. Minerick concluded.

South Hosts One-Act Play Festival March 24 A college professor who is a homicidal maniac is one of the key characters in "The Lesson"

by Engene Ionesco, one of the four one-act plays to be presented at the Thespian One-Act Play Festival on March 24 at Maine South.

Other plays will be "Supressed Desires" by Susan Glaspell, also to be presented by students from South, "lie" by Engene O'Neill, which will be performed by Maine West students, and "A Storm is Breaking," produced by the students of Maine East.

Carole Zielinski '66, who was chosen to direct one of South's plays, commented, " 'The Lesson' is so weird that it's really going to be a challenge to see whether we can capture an audience's imagination." According to Margie Press '67, "This is the weirdest play I've ever read—two out of the three characters are homicidal maniacs. I play a maid who condones the professor's 'lessons' and mothers him. It's an inter-

trays his wife, added, "Henrietta is a neurotic, obstinate, domineering woman. My only problem has been the general opinion that I was typecast."

Henrietta's sister Mabel is played by Cyndi Brown who commented about her role, "Mabel is a naive, impressionable young woman who is taken in by her sister's tirades. I like the part."

Admission to the Festival, to be presented March 24, will be 50 cents for students and adults.

Tickets will go on sale soon in the bookstore.

Members and directors of the one-act play casts are: (rear left to right) Don Munn '66, Terry Moloney '66, Randy Salo '67, director of "Suppressed Desires"; (from left to right) Cyndi Brown '66, Judy Projahn '67, Margie Press '67, Judy Munsen '67, and Carole Zeilinski '66, director of "The Lesson." esting part to play—I only hope I don't 'live' the part!"

Judy Munsen '67, commented about her role of the Pupil.

"This character is a vivacious eighteen-year-old student seeking lessons from the old Professor in order to obtain 'all the doctorates' in three weeks' time.

As the lesson continues, she is slowly mesmerized by the Professor and changes from a dynamic and cheerful young girl into a morose, inert object in the hands of the master. It will be difficult to dramatize this entire transformation in gradual degrees so that it is slow and imperceptible, but the role presents a fascinating challenge!"

Terry Maloney '66, who plays the Professor himself, stated, "The professor subtly changes from a timid old man to a sadistic killer, to a tender childlike man. Accomplishing such dramatic character c h a n g e s while remaining old is an exciting and difficult assignment.

I'm equally excited about being able to work with such a fine

cast and director."

Although "The Lesson" is the first play Carole Zielinski has directed, she has had past experience in variety shows and has taken a course in drama.

When asked her opinion of her new job, Carole replied, "What impressed me greatly was the response and interest shown by the students at the tryouts. I'd like to thank them all for trying out, for it is when students show this great an interest in a production that a good play can be predicted." '"Supressed Desires' is a comedy spoof on psychoanalysis," stated Randy Salo '67, director of this one-act play. "The story centers around a wife whose fanaticism for analyzing her husband and friends backfires on her." The play stars Don Munn '66, Cyndi Brown '66, and Judy Projahn '67.

Don commented about his role of Steve Brewster in "Supressed Desires," "Steve has one major problem in life—his wife, who psychoanalyzes everything he does." Judy Projahn, who por-

Asks Custodian Mr. Raleigh Klipstein, head custodian, appealed to students today to stay off the grass between classes.

"At this time of year grass can be quickly destroyed by even minor traffic," said Bill Herr, outside custodian.

Sophomores Hold School Carnival The Sophomore Class is sponsoring an all-school carnival, "Mardi Gras," on Saturday, March 26 from 7:30 to 11:15 p.m. in the spectator gym.

Amusements will include a variety of games and dancing.

Dancing will begin at 7:30 in one-third of the gym. Prizes may be won at the game booths and refreshments will also be available. The cost for each game will be one or two tickets, which will be sold at the carnival for five cents each.

Mrs. Harriet Naden and Mr. R. Thomas Snider, sponsors of the Sophomore Class, urge everyone to come to the "Mardi Gras" and have a good time.

Maine Athletes Finish Winter Season

Tom Beck, Jeff Reinke, Henry Perez, and Bill Murphy will all return to the Varsity next year. Here Tom Beck shoots against Glenbrook South.

Swimming, Gymnastics, and basketball have all come to a successful conclusion at Maine South. . . . Swimmers at State Greg Knudson, Tom Torgersen, and Frank and Ray McCullough powered Maine South to an eighth place finish in the state meet.

The 200-yard medley relay, made up of these four swimmers, took a fifth in their event. Ray McCullough took a second in the 200-yard individual medley and brother Frank took a third in the 100-yard backstroke to complete the Hawk scoring.

Maine's other state qualifier was diver Jim Kersting, who did well in the preliminaries but failed to reach the finals. . . . Dick Hood Dick Hood, top senior gymnast, was the only Hawk to reach State competition. Dick took fourth on horizontal bar, fifth on still rings, and fifth in all-around to qualify. At State Dick took 13th on rings. . . . Cagers Second The 46 to 45 loss to Maine East in the Regionals cannot dim an otherwise outstanding season for Bernie Brady's varsity cagers.

Baseball Starts Practice; Team Eyes Top Spot In New Conf.

By Derek Gilna The varsity baseball team, under the able direction of Mr. Glen Van Proyen, this week opened practice in quest of their first conference crown in the new CSL. The team has only three weeks to prepare for the season's opener against Palatine on April 6. . . . Prediction Mr. Van Proyen feels that with any breaks at all, the team should take conference a n d "perhaps the whole thing." Our toughest competition will be with Niles West and the two Glenbrooks.

The team has a stronger pitching staff in Rick Kilinski, Dick Hood, John Spiggos, and Carlos Maningas, all of whom played well last year and should do even better on the varsity this year.

In the outfield we find three returning lettermen in Russ Gibe, Chuck Coad, and Dave Strom, who gained further experience this summer playing American Legion baseball. . . . Depth It is in the infield where we find proof of the team's greatest asset: depth. First base is patrolled by Bob Holz. Rick Kilinski, Randy O'Hare, and Auggie Matejzel, last year's team batting champion, will have first crack at the other posts.

Scott Kaufman was one of two regular Legion catchers but looks to be challenged by several newcomers.

As can be seen, the team is amply provided with holdovers from last year's varsity and American Legion team, giving this team a great deal of experience at all positions.

This year's varsity will try to improve an 11 and 9 record and from the looks of the Legion season, where Park Ridge almost won the District, they should do much better.

record was second only to that of Glenbrook South.

Most potent scorers for the varsity were the three senior starters: Dave Strom, Paul Wehman, and Rick Kilinski.

All three were honored with all-conference rankings. . . . Top Scorer Strom was the top Hawk scorer and in 23 games scored 373 points at an impressive 16.2 clip. Top rebounder and secondhighest scorer was Paul Wehman, who hit for 307 tallies on the season.

Although only 6'1", Paul averaged more than ten rebounds a game, and against Conant set a Maine record of 20.

Rick Kilinski, the top Hawk foul shot, was third in team scoring with 267 points. Although the team playmaker, Rick came through big in the scoring column.

Tom Beck, the other guard, hit for 240 points for the season and missed CSL honorable mention by only one vote. The two centers, Jeff Reinke and Bill Murphy, scored 86 and 61 points respectively.

After mauling Niles West 73 to 57 in the final conference game, the Hawks moved right into the Maine East Regional. . . . Fenton Game As expected, Fenton proved little trouble. South never trailed and eliminated the eighth-seeded team 74 to 51. Dave Strom dominated scoring with 26 tallies, Bill Murphy had 13, Rick Kilinski scored 11, and Henry Perez and Paul Wehman both scored 8.

Although leading Immaculate Conception by only 20 to 18 at halftime, the South press proved the difference and the Hawks won 60 to 43. Dave Strom once again had 26, while Kilinski and Murphy had 14 and 8, respectively.

Junior Varsity, Sophomore Teams Reign as Conference Champs

Indoor Trackmen Host Conference Meet The conference meet will be hosted by Maine South in the Maine East fieldhouse tomorrow at 1 P.M. for the indoor season.

The Cindermen are in good spirits and are hopeful of a good showing. The participants will be Wheeling, and both Glenbrook and Niles schools.

. . . Maine Upset Free throws made the difference in the Maine East contest, in which the Hawks were upset 46 to 45 in the final minute of play. The Hawks outshot the Demons 18 to 11 from the floor (a poor performance for both teams), but the Demons hit on 24 charity shots to the nine of South. Foul trouble also played a factor, two Hawks fouling out.

Dave Strom had 12, Tom Beck 16, and Kilinski and Wehman 6 each. Olsen had 17 for the winners.

Jim Schmitz, number 13, was a valuable performer on the Junior varsity all season.

conference championship with Deerfield.

Deerfield tied for first also with their victory over Niles North, giving them an identical 9 and 1 record.

The Hawks battled Deerfield in a close race from the beginning of the conference season.

Emerging from non-conference play with a 5 and 3 record, the Hawks took an early lead in the conference race by rolling up impressive victories in their first six games.

Then, in a rematch against Deerfield at home on Feb. 12, the visitors scored a close 56 to 52 triumph over South to move into a tie for first with the Hawks. . . . Butz on Varsity The blow had to come as somewhat of an upset, since Maine had won easily 61 to 48 in the previous conference contest at Deerfield. However, at Deerfield frosh Dave Butz contributed 19 points to the Hawk cause while holding his 6'7" opponent scoreless, but in this meeting Dave was serving with the varsity.

There was virtually no one left tall enough to stop the big, slender guy from Deerfield.

The giant (although no exceptional marksman) consistently got second and third shots off the offensive boards and paced his team with 11 points.

Hawk performances during the conference season have to be described as nearly perfect, to say the least. The Hawks beat every team in the conference except Deerfield twice each.
