Time's Arrived, Claims Council, For Clocks-in-the-Hall Campaign

"Because of the great demand for clocks in the halls, Service Corps has begun a drive to raise money to purchase them," explained Claudia Board, Ser­vice Corps Chairman.

Funds for the all-school Stu­dent Council clock drive will come from clubs and societies. On April 2 a meeting of all class, club, and society presi­

dents was held. At the meeting the presidents were introduced to the plan for the clocks and told the prices, locations, and other details of the plan.

The cost of a single-faced clock is $61.75, and the cost of a double-faced clock is $122.45. The clocks will be supplied by Standard Clocks Company, a nation-wide clock supplier.

Sophomores Lead A Roll; Seniors Lead B Honors

Sophomores were the most represented class on the high honor role for the third quarter with 31, but seniors were on top when honor rolls were com­bined.

Twenty-four freshmen main­tained the required 4.0 grade level. Among these are Mar­garet Aliprandi, Lawrence Barn-hart, Wendy Carlsen, Christine Eide, Kenenth Garverick, Nata­lie Geramia, Susan Grainger, Debra Hannible, Michael Hard­in, and Beverly Hoffman.

Also included are Peggy Ann Kerr, Janet Kurth, Deborah La Dolce, Stephen Lietz, Diana L o v e l y , Randolph McClure, Paul Mitchell, and Susan Pea-voy. Concluding the list are Nancy P e t e r s o n , Geoffrey Priest, Walter Skowski, Judith Ann Stagg, Suzanne Wendy, and Thomas Whitson.

. . . St^hs Represented Sophomores are represented

by James R. Barmeier, Brian Berger, Marilyn Conners, Rob­ert Denny, Steven Duerksen, Gail Griffiths, Kenneth Hansen, Connie Healy, Eileen Gail Heath, Jean Hosey, and Steven Hyde.

Others are Fred Jaeger, David McKenzie, Kathleen Metz, Craig Moen, William Mur­phy, Douglas Olsen, Gred Par­sons, Robert E. Peterson, Thomas Petty, Marjorie Press, Jeffery Reinko, Judy Projahn, James Scherffius, Mark A. Schrag, and Gail Swinnerton.

Nancy Van Buren, Julia Van-

tillinger, Paul Weber, Thomas Whitson, and Katherine Hood conclude the list.

. . . 25 Juniors Included The junior class is represented

by 25 students. Those included are Leslie K. Anderson, Cynthia Jean Brown, George Cantonis, Jill Conway, Lewese Ann Davis, Karen Decanini, Thomas De-war, Mary Anne Dibble, Jeann Engelke, Richard Fess, William Fitch, Eleanor Florence, and Cheryl Fridstrom.

Also are Derek Gilna, Stepha­nie Haas, David Knuth, Linda Lucas, Jim McClure, Martha Mosher, Cynthia Peterson, Lin-nea Priest, Diane Reporto, and Karen Robbins. . . . 26 Seniors Conclude List

Twenty-six seniors are listed. James Casey, Ida Cook, Arthur Curtis, Joan Ann Dolan, Can-dace Downer, Kristie Duycki-ink, Andrew Dyck, Elizabeth Elich, Judy Fairbanks, Nancy Fleischman, and Linda Gross all qualified for the high honor roll.

Also qualifying are John Healy, Sherry Heiden, Deborah Hirschberg, Stephen Karina, James Philhps, Penelope Pul-len, Hillary Rodham, Lena Sal-bego, Marcia Schimmel, Robert Stenson, Susan Stybr, Kathy Tongue, and David White.

The " B " honor roll is com­posed of 414 students who main­tained a 3.0 grade average. Broken into classes, 95 fresh­men, 100 sophomores, 96 jun­iors, and 123 seniors are listed in it.

Clubs and classes are urged to donate money as soon as pos­sible for the project. Organiza­tions contributing money to the drive may choose where they want the clock to be placed in the school. (With the help of a professional electrician, the most vital clock locations in the school have been mapped out.) Choice of location will be on a first-come, first-served basis.

A plaque will be hung below each clock listing the organiza­tion which contributed to the cost. The prices, $61.75 and $122.45, include the cost of the installation, the plaque, and the clock itself.

Clocks may be distributed separately, or two organizations may contribute a two-faced one together. In this case, each club's name will be put on the clock.

Any club or class president who was unable to attend the meeting on April 2, or who has any question about the drive should contact Claudia Board or Miss Elizabeth Baly by leaving a message in Miss Baly's box in the main office.

Gowned Facull-y To Set Tradition

Seniors aren't the only ones being measured for caps and gowns for graduation exercises to he held on June 9. A new tradition is being orientated at Maine South.

Dr. Earl Wiltse, superinten­dent; Mr. Ralph J. Frost, as­sistant superintendent; Dr. Clyde Watson, principal; Robert Barker, assistant principal, all deans, counselors. Senior Class sponsors; and senior homeroom teachers will also don caps, gowns, and academic hoods ap­propriate for the school from Vv'hich they earned their degree. They will all take part in the commencement exercises.

Mrs. Ruth Given, counselor, suggested the idea because she feels "it would add dignity to the occasion." Mrs. Given is in charge of organizing the marching line for seniors.

Posing with the ever-famous "Surrey with the Fringe on Top" are members of the Oklahoma! cast. From left to right are Ken Laspesa, '65, as Jod; Craig Ander­son, '65, as Curly; Don Anderson, '67, who has the dual role of Curly and At!

Lilting Lyrics, Sparkling Wit Brighten 'Oklahoma'

At 8 p.m. last evening, the curtain rose on the first of four performances of Oklahoma!

Rodgers' and Hammerstein's lilting musical will again be pre­sented in the auditorium to­night and Saturday at 8 p.m. and Sunday at 3 p.m.

anced musical communicates a •'glad to be alive" feeling, as well as revealing its dramatic, more serious side.

The strength of Oklahoma! lies, not only in its resolution of the conflicts, but in its spark­ling score. Tunes first staged 22 years ago, such as "People Will Say We're In Love," "Oh, What a Beautiful Morning," "The Surrey with the Fringe on Top," and the title song, "Oklahoma!," have remained popular ever since.

The dialogue is descriptive and fresh. The variety of char­acters gives the production con­trast and depth. Enthusiasm runs high in Oklahoma! and the resounding Finale serves as a tremendous ending to a spank­ing show.

Activities Week Begins May 27

This year Senior Activities Week will be held from Thurs­day, May 27, to Thursday, June 3. Highlights of the week will be:

The Senior Breakfast, which will be held at 5:30 a.m. at the Des Plaines Oasis on May 27. Seniors should dress up in Sun­day clothes for this event.

NHS Announces Tutoring System

"A new tutoring system is National Honor Society's 1964-65 service project," stated Pen­ny Pullen, chairman of the NHS Tutoring Committee.

Any student who wants to be tutored should see his counselor. The counselor will teU the stu­dent how to get in touch with a tutor.

At present NHS has about 50 tutors in almost all subjects. If, however, a student needs help in a subject not covered by the system, NHS will find a tutor for him.

Afterwords

Times, They Are A-wastin' It's about time . . . time for a clock

drive . . . claims Council's Service Corps. And we couldn't agree more.

Since the beginning of the year, the student body has wanted clocks in the halls—and for a good reason. With no clocks in the halls, it's been hard to judge exactly how long you had to get to home­room or your next class or to wherever you were going. Now, though, students can take advantage of Council's drive to put more clocks in the halls.

Clubs and honor societies are being asked to contribute money for the cost of a clock, either single or double-faced. Al­though the price, $61.75 or $122.45, at

first may seem somewhat high, how could a club use its money for a better cause than the clock drive? Then, too, any con­tributions to the drive will be unique in that in following years there will be no second chance to contribute.

To raise money for the project, inter­ested clubs could hold taffy apple or cook­ie sales. Thespian Society, Tri-M, and Sig­ma Chi Sigma have already gotten the c'rive off to a good start with their contrib­utions.

"For everything there is a season, and a time for every matter . . ." Now's the time to campaign for clocks in the halls.

Junior, Senior Prom Planning Proves To Be Large Headache

"Poor kids just can't get used to hall clocks.'

'Spring Has Sprung'

May and June will be busy months for juniors and seniors.

Shopping for formals, renting tuxedos, ordering corsages, and scrounging for money will fill their time. In the midst of their preparations, they tend to for­get the months of work and worry that have gone into these two special prom nights.

Jeff Santino was Maine West's Junior Prom Chairman last year, so he had a pretty good idea of the difficulties awaiting him when he was elected Sen­ior Prom Chairman last October. In October the Brass Rail was chosen as the site of the prom.

Since prom planning got un­derway in October, there have been numerous obstacles con­fronting the senior, the biggest being money, naturally. In or­der to keep the prom within its $1,000 budget, Jeff and his committee have had to do a lot of bargain hunting and pray­ing for donations.

. . . Organize Paper Drive Senior Class Council organized

a special money-making project, the paper drive. It was a great financial success, but again there's a catch. Jeff laughingly stated, "Anyone who wants some used furniture in good condition may have it, compli­ments of the Senior Class, pro­vided they come and haul it away!"

Six extra committees had to

be formed for the prom. One of these committees, b i d s , proved to be a "big headache."

Bockwords

To Janitors Dear Editor,

As the school year is coming to a close, thanks and congratu­lations are being offered to the many people who have worked to make Maine South's first year a success. However, I think some of the finest persons in our school have been over­looked—our janitors. Maybe there are more important jobs in the school, but what would happen without the janitors?

Whenever there is a school dance or play, the janitors are always there helping out. They go beyond their duties, offering suggestions and helping with decorations. Not only do they give their assistance, but they do it pleasantly. Then, after most people have left, they stay and pitch in with the clean-up.

Most students have had the experience of being stranded at South without any money to call home. There is always a jani­tor willing to lend a dime to a desperate girl or boy. I won­der how often they get paid back.

Jeannie Hosey

The bids chosen by the commit­tee were to be made of red suede, accenting the gold senior emblem. Unfortunately, r e d suede is a very popular mater­ial for jackets. It took the com­mittee two weeks of telephoning all over the country to find a place that could supply them with the suede.

Speaking of lights, the Brass Rail won't supply any lights for the band and the entrance-way. Extra spotlights are need­ed to focus on the couples as they enter and are announced over the speaker.

. . . 600 Juniors Vidunteer

Juniors enthusiastically pitch­ed into their prom planning. Last March 600 of them packed into C-136 volunteering to be committee chairmen. This pre­sented quite a problem since there are only five committees.

It took the juniors four meet­ings to choose the name of their prom, Cotton Ball. However, when the bids arrived, they were made out of satin which didn't go too well with the cot­ton theme. The haggling over a name started all over again. "Tara" finally won out over complaints that no one would know what it meant. Incidental­ly, it's the name of Scarlett O'Hara's plantation in Gone With the Wind.

Spring is . . . Walking outside from the cen­

ters building to the academic building.

Lots of fire drills. A rise in the sale of M-pins

and motorcycles. Overflowing crowds at sports

events. (Ah — bless our school spirit.)

Roomier lockers. Bees coming through open

windows during classes. A more pleasant forest pre­

serve.

- ^ . . . .

Car hops instead of window service only at A & W.

Peeling Florida tans and blonde hair even if you didn't have it when you left.

The same as winter as far as lunches are concerned.

A chance for geology and con­servation students to study the basic types of mud without ever leaving the schoolyard.

A change in parking lots. A deep concern in seniors

over grades.

'Fred? Fred Fredl"

Unique 'Big O' Cast Reveals Character time "Before going on stage, I

mostly shiver and pray," ad­mitted Peggy Bussert, '68, who plays Laurey in Oklahoma!

"Laurey's the only straight character in the play; she knows what she wants, but she's too stubborn to give in to any­one."

"Although she's sweet and in­nocent," chimed in Patti Bauer, '65, who also has the leading female role, "Laurey's intelli­

gent and determined — to get Curly, of course."

Patti doesn't find crying on stage difficult. "By that time I'm so wrapped up in the role that it seems natural."

Don Anderson, '67, is the only person with two roles in the musical. He plays Curly, Laurey's counterpart, and Ali Hakim, the Persian peddler.

"Ali, a cowardly ladies' man, reveals his dislike for women in

the line. Every daughter's got a father with a gun.

"Curly is a typical cowboy," Don explained. "To quote the show, he's a 'braggin', bowleg-ged, wish't-he-had-asweetheart t ramp' ."

"Dear Granny is great!" ex­claimed Craig Anderson of Mrs. Ruth Given, who directs the show

Craig also portrays Curly and interprets him as "sure of him-

self in everything except where Laury is concerned."

Carta Oleck. '68, and Paula Lingren, '67, agree that their role of Aunt EUer should be that of a "hard-working, kindly busybody."

Ado Annie, the naive country girl, "can't help falling in love with every boy she meets," ac­cording to Sukie Askew, '65.

"Yeow! She doesn't like any­body in particular, just everj'-body all at once!"

"Annie's really a nut I" ex­claimed Bonnie Buderus, '66. who also has the role.

Joe Trytten, '65, thinks his part as Will is that of "a lovable rogue."

"Will is a good character to play because he's expressive and realistic. 1 also enjoy the Oklahoma Hello," he griimed. "It 's a nice way to greet your friends."

"Will is lots of fun today," said Mark Newton, '65. "He's not as extreme as -Ali, but does have a definite character."

Plays are never complete without a villian. Oklahoma! has its villian, Jud, who is played by Tony Halda "66. and Ken Laspesa, '65.

"Jud's been looked down upon all his life," said Tony. "He's

had a rough time; everyone despises him."

"He's no good," added Ken. "In the smokehouse scene, Jud brings out his entire rotten character."

"I like my role because it's a dramatic challenge and presents a character that isn't every­day," commented Steve Quast, '65, who plays Ali Hakim, the Persian peddler.

"Hahahahaha," giggled Linda Barth, '65, about Gertie.

"Giggling Gertie is a flirt, and I just love the part," she said.

Pa Games, the shotgun totin' farmer, is played by Fred Jaeger, *67, and John Mattick, '65.

"Pa 's a real swinger," said Fred. "I enjoy getting mad at people on stage."

The "Voice of Youth" column in the Tribune gives high school students of the Chicago area a chance to express themselves through the printed word. The Tribune pays $5 for each article published.

Jill's prize-winning story, "The Pioneer Spirit," appeared in the Sunday, April 11, Chicago Tribune. In it Jill describes the joys and problems encountered when a typical family decides to "rough it" for the weekend:

"After driving in an air-con­ditioned car for several hours, the family arrives at their crude cabin. Father has the tedious task of turning on the electricity and water so that the electric dishwasher, the air-conditioning unit, and the elec­tric range will be in tip-top working order.

Are you able to recognize the above quotation? If not, you haven't missed your opportu­nity yet; for you can try your luck again at the Key Club Pa­perback Bookstore, where a new quote will be placed each Monday morning for any alert student to identify.

Diane Bauman, '67, reasoned out the identity of the premier-ing quote, which was read in class by all English and history teachers. Melinda Chapin, '65, was the first to recognize the second quote, which was placed in the bookstore window.

If you do know any of the quotations, give your answer to either Mr. Davis or Mr. Kohl-er, who are usually found in Room A-209. The first student to correctly name the author and the work from which the lines were taken will be able to choose any paperback from the Key Club Bookstore.

Each quotation will be taken from a work of literary merit or a commentary from history, philosophy, political, economic, or social thought.

Undefeated in Conference, " ^ Netmen Travel to District

The varsity tennis squad will compete in the district meet at Evanston tomorrow at 8:30 p.m. In dual-meet competition the squad has posted an 8 and 2 record and is undefeated in con­ference with a 2 and 0 record.

The varsity netmen b e a t Argo, Wheaton, Prospect, Glen-bard West, Glenbrook South, Deerfield, Proviso West, and Niles West. Their only losses have come from highly rated New Trier and Lyons.

On Wednesday, April 21, the squad defeated Proviso West 4 to 1. The first doubles team was the only group beaten in that meet. The following Sat­urday the squad hosted Niles West and shut them out, 5 to 0.

The competitors have been at the same positions for most of the season. Harold Masoncup with an 8 and 2 record has done some fine playing at first sin­gles. Paul Schuwerk (9 and 1) has recently been playing at second singles, while John Hea-ly C6 and 4) plays third singles.

The first doubles team of Jeff Swander and Jeff Phillips is 8 and 2 for the season. The sec­ond doubles team of Rick Rick-etts and Bill Osterland, the only starting junior on the squad, has posted a 6 and 4 record thus far.

The frosh-soph team is also 8 and 2 overall, and 1 and 0 in con­ference dual-meet competition. Outstanding competition for the team is freshman Mike Mason-cup, who is undefeated at first singles.

Tom Beck, sophomore, and Dave Flanagan, frosh, are cur­rently holding the second and third singles position. Fresh­men Dan Lathrop and Chris

Hawk Tawk

Hansen make up the first dou­bles team while soph Bob Den­ny and freshman Roy Martlno play second doubles.

Golf Team Starts; Putt Way to Win 2 Golf is not a major sport on

the high school level but is im­portant. The effort and amount of practice required is compar­able to that of other sports, but attention to the effort is mini­mal.

So far the golf team has had four meets, two of which they have won. They won against Ridgewood and Niles North. They suffered defeat in the oth­er two meets at the hands of Maine East and Glenbrook South. The Maine East meet was lost by three strokes while the defeat by Glenbrook was six. The team moved on to its first conference meet yesterday.

The golf team this year is led by Steve Johnson and Bob Spark. Returning letterman Jim Malik will probably also be a great help at future meets. Steve, a member of South's conference swimming team, shot the lowest score at a recent meet. The rest of the players are excellent golfers of almost equal ability.

The future golf meets? Well, it's hard to say. Maine South does have a very strong team which should do well in the con­ference standings.

They have high hopes for the remainder of the season includ­ing warmer weather in which to play. All home meets are played at the Park Ridge Coun­try Qub.

Spring Sports Roar by Lee Kaufmann

Our spring sports are well underway here at Maine South. As with all the sport's we've al­ready had this year, our Spring line-up should prove to be tough competition for our athletes and very interesting for you sports fans.

The tennis team has started the year with some fine per­formances. The varsity net-men probably benefited more by the school split than any other squad. Of the starting seven positions, six are filled by returning lettermen. I'd like to mention the fine job the frosh-soph squad has been do­ing. It looks like the Masoncup family is going to be a big fac­tor in tennis for a few years to come.

Tennis will be a good sport to watch this season. The netmen should take conference and might puU some surprises out in the district and state meets. The new courts here at South should make meets more en­joyable for spectators and play­ers alike.

Golf is off to a .500 start with a two and two record. The conference season has just started, and the team should do well in the Des Plaines Valley League. Competition has been tough for starting berths and should urge the golfers on to maximum performances.

. . . Track biggest Track is the biggest spring

sport from the standpoint of number of participants. The runners also have a good chance for a conference crown but wiU be met with some rough com­petition from several other teams, making the final stretch very interesting.

The clndermen suffered a set­back Tuesday by Proviso West in a tough meet for their first outdoor setback. Proviso West is one of the teams to beat in the DPVL besides Morton West. In general these two teams, Proviso West and Morton West, are the teams to beat in all sports.

And finally we come to the great American pastime, base­ball. Rah, rah! The varsity baseball team fared well in the season so far. Their one win, two losses record isn't indica­tive of their conference chanc­es.

The team still has a good chance for a title but must win most or all of their future games. A few more fans will be a big help.

Willowbrook Drops Hawks; 4 - 2 Loss Hawk's Fourth

The Maine South Hawk base­ball team was defeated 4 to 2 by the Willowbrook Warriors last Wednesday. This loss brought the Hawk's season rec­ord to 3 and 4 and their confer­ence record to 1 and 3.

Maine's conference victory was over the East Leyden Ea­gles, 5 to 2. Rick Kilinski pitched seven innings for the win. Palatine and Niles West defeated the Hawks 3 to 2 and 8 to 1, respectively.

Bill Sanders pitched seven in­nings for South in its game against Willowbrook. He gave up three hits, while junior Bob Carpenter went the distance for the Warriors, surrendered two hits, and struck out nine Maine batters.

. . . Error at First The first man up for Willow­

brook hit the three-and-two pitch to Dick Bigelow at second base, who threw him out. An error by Bob Holz, first baseman, put the second batter on base, but he stayed there as the next two men flew out to Tom Dewar and Chuck Coad, respectively.

Carpenter threw only twelve pitches to the first three Hawks he faced, striking them all out.

Heaps led off Willowbrooks'

second inning with a line drive that got past Dewar in left field for a home run. Seven pitches later Sanders had retired the side.

After Sanders and Eric Zins-meister had made out, Dewar reached first base on a walk, and stole second. He remained there as Holz struck out to end the inning.

. . . Blank Third Inning Each pitcher set the side down

in order in the third inning, but in the Willowbrook fourth, Hogan got to first on Matejzle's error. He was caught in a run down between first and second, but as Sanders rushed to cover first base, which had been left open, Kersten's throw got by him, and Hogan went to second.

Two fly outs later, Kersten hobbled Carlson's grounder, al­lowing him to reach first base, Hogan unable to advance. The inning ended with Carpenter's fly out to Dave Strom.

. . . Coad Reaches Second Matejzel's bunt opening the

fourth was picked up by the third baseman who threw him out. Coad reached second base on a throwing error. Sanders and Zinsmeister made the last two outs leaving him on second.

Despite the absence of many athletes away on vacation, the Hawks had no difficulty defeat­ing West Leyden on April 13. Leading the way for the cinder-men was Jim Brandon, who captured three firsts. Brandon was victorious in the broad jump, 100-yd. dash, and 220-yd. dash. Ed Ward, junior, and Bob Cycon senior, both took

two firsts as Ward won both the high and low hurdles. Cycon Hon the shot put and discus. Also capturing firsts in the meet for Maine South were Rawls Williams in the high jump and Jim Spotts in the quarter mile.
