. . . Extra Help ScarceOne possible weakness point­

ed out by the questionnaire reMlates to the availability of teach­ers to give individual help. Only51 per cent of the stndents polledstated that teachers are nsnallyavailable.

When asked to describe stand­ards. set by teachers, 6 per centof the boys and 4 per cent of thegirls replied that they are muchtoo difficult. 39 per cent of theboys and 47 per cent of the girlsfound that standards are some­what difficult. 31 per cent ofthe boys and 46 per cent of thegirls reported that they areabout right.

The findings show tbat, whileover 80 per cent of the studentsfeel that Maine South offersgood preparation for college,most students are dissatisfiedwith their academic achieveMment in high school.

... Students Well ReadThe questionnaire also shows

that the Maine. South studentbody is, a very literate one. 30per cent of the students readone to five books over the pastyear. 27 per cent of the boysand 32 per cent of the girls readsix to ten. Moreover, 41 percent of the boys and 37 per centof the girls read more than tenbooks.

In commenting on the find­ings, Dr. Watson said, HI amparticularly wellMpleas.ed withthe results. The only thinghomogeneous about this studentbody is that they have all beenhere one year. Yet, they havedecided, 'This is our highschool,' and h,·~:.-::>:~'!.~~!"eatloyalty." . ·""",nlo.T tT

In regard to his high schoolrecord, Art has, this to say: "Idowell in school because I en­joy it. I love to learn and havealways read a great deal. Fur·thermore, I enjoy meeting, thechallenge of getting highgrades."

Keeping Art busy this yearare government, A.P. English,calculus, and Chem II. Aftertaking three advanced place­ment tests, Art comments,"The A.P. program is good; weare lucky to have challengingcourses."

As for extracurricular activi~

ties, Art is a member of PepClub Council and is president ofNational Honor Society and Tri­M.

On honorary societies Art hasthis to say: "I believe it is amistake for an honorary societyto try to be a social serviceclUb, for then it will fail bothas an honorary society and asa social service club."

Art stresses, though, that hedoes not mean to justify inac­tivity for an honorary societyand points out that this yearNational Honor Society has es­tablished a tutoring system andTri·M has raised over $1000 forthe Music Department and pub­licized Mus i c Departmentevents such as concerts.

Another of Art's interests ismusic: he has played the trom·bone for three V-Shows and twomusicals. Although a scheduleconflict prevented him from be~

iog in the band this year, hewill try to get into the march~

ing band at Northwestern.When he isn't playing the

trombone or studying, Art canbe found lugging golf bags atPark Ridge Country Club, wherehe is Caddy Number Two. Lastseason he was able to earn $900.

He would have liked verymuch to have won another $300in the Constitution Contest butmissed that possibility when hewas accidentally hit with a ten­nis racket. He was sent to thehospital, had to have severalstitches, and subsequently miss­ed out on the oral examinationon the Constitution.

ie, obviously.A great deal of interest seems

to center around the new pro*fessional building which waserected on the sight of the ven­erable A and W which, inci­dentally, catered the reunion).It seems that this building has"Maine South Rebels" in six~

foot letters on it. The huildinghouses the dental clinic operatedby Steve Richards, Jim Agor­anos, Bob Schlosser, Jack Nagle,and Chip Rollins. These dentistsare especially famous for theirbridgework.

Wen ... we've hit most of thehighlights of the reunion. Asthe sun sets on the red lagoonand the root beer flows freely,the party grows livelier. Thelentire library complex is bright~

ened by the presence of the583 joyful alumni scamperingabout, reminiscing wistfullyabout the bygone days when thepit was crowded with eageryoung intellectuals, when thenumber of students far exceededthe number of library books,and when each day got off to arollicking start with a cheery,"Good morning, please standby," from Big Brother. Thosewere the days-may the forestpreserve them forever!!

tJonaI schools...and the timewhen they start crossing theirfingers, only to uncross themwhen they reach for a diploma 1

Baseball Closes First Season

Seniors Are of Sound Mind?

Rick Kilinski was the bestpitcher of record with a 4 and 2mark. H." also had the lowestearned run average of 1.50. BillSanders was .500 for the yearwith a 3 and 3 record. He wontwo big games, Evanston andMaine East. John Spiggos was2 and 2, Carlos Maningas was1 and 1 with a no~hitter to hiscredit, and Dick Hood had a 1and 1 mark with a two hitterin his belt.

Auggie Matejzel, Dick Hood,Carlos Maningas, John Spiggos,Biil Sanders, Rick Kilinski, TomKersten, Larry Wiseburn, DickBigelow, Eric Zinsmeister, DaveStrom, Russ, Gibe, Chuck Coad,Bob Holz, Tom Dewar, and ,JimYrigoyen all received their let­ters for the past season.

Ray Rozny and Ron Gardnergot their managers letters,but who helped the team im­mensely with ,part time servicewere Ron Dell, Renny Smith,and Larry Glaug.

Coach Van Proyen will have10 juniors back next year tohelp guide his Hawks.

This summer Coach VanProyen will be a s.cout for theLos Angeles Dodgers. Takingover for Van Proyen of Legionbaseball will be South basket­ball coach, Mr. Bernie Brady.Coach Van Proyen will also beselling savings plans for theFranklin Life Insurance Compa­ny.

Chris Ryg, and Derek Gilna whoroused George Case from hissleep long enough to shoot manyof our pcitures. Thanks to every­one.

Looking to next year, we canonly see bright things here atSouth. Nearly every sport hasa fine group of juniors ready totake over. Due to the schoolsplit, most coaches have beenable to give their juniors a lotmore experience than normalwhich should add extra strengthto our squads next year. TheMaine South Hawk should finditself perched on top the con­ference in even more sportsthan this year.

Seeing as how this is the lastissue of the first year (a factno one can overlook, I'm sure)I'm proclaiming this "Be Kindto Athlete's" week. It is there­fore proper to present any andall athletes with the appropriatekind of foot. Or a thank you fora good job.

••• The EndP.S. I will the name "Hawkwman" to anyone with feathers.

Hawkman Gives ThanksHawk Tawk

In relation to the Hawks shakyseason, Van Proyen commented,"We didn't hit as well as Ithought we would, and thatcoupled with the sore arms. ofSanders and Spiggos, spelledmediocrity rather than excel­lence."

All of the Hawks games weretough according to Coach VanProyen. Most South fans are inagreement that the games withMaine East,' Holy Cross, Evan~

ston, and the Morton Westdouble header were the high­light games of the year.

The Maine East, Holy Cross,and Evanston games were inthe state tournament and theMortoniWest game.was. in theDPV.

Morton was the eventual can·ference champ, but not untilafter the Hawks gave them twogood games. Morton won thefirst game of the tWinwbill, 3 to2, but Carlos Maningas pitcheda nowhitter for South in the sec·ond contest for a 2 to 1 win.

Auggie Matejzel was the lead·ing hitter on the varsity witha .327 average. Auggie is just ajunior and his services at thirdbase will be eagerly awaitednext year. Larry Wiseburn, agraduation loss to Van Proyennext year, hit second higheston the team at .297. Anothersenior, Tom Kersten, hit .269for the third highest average.

by Lee KaufmannThe year has ended (hold

down the applause) and MaineSouth's. first sports season hascome to a close. I would cerwtainly call it a successful one.We won more conference cham­pionships than East has in thelast five yeas.

I would like to close this vol­ume of Southwords sports pageswith a hearty thanks to everywone who has read this controwversial and thoughtwprovokingsection of an otherwise goodnewspaper. The athletes, coach­es, and everyone involved havebeen most cooperative and weonly hope we've done justice tothe good news material providedby our excellent teams.

I would like to thank indi­vidually the reporters who la­bored under a great handicapthis year. I don't know exactlywhat that handicap is but itmakes us look good. Manythanks go out to Tim "gimmea byline" Lindgren, the quietestman on the staff, Bob Cycon,Phil McCullough, Bob Battaglia,

comber, who took the 100-yd.dash and pole vault. The onlyother firots were captured byBob Cycon in the shot put, EdWard in the low hurdles, andPhil McCullough in the halfmile. The Hawks finished withan overall dual meet record ofeight wins and two losses for theseason.

All in all, the trackmen,coached by Mr. Edwin Smith,had a successful year. HigWightwing the long season were thenational record breaking indoorhalf-mile run of 1:52.0 by LarryKelly, and the state pole vaultrecord of 14 feet 31/2 inches byDoug Macomber. In other bigmeets, the Hawks were third inindoor conference, sixth inthe Oak Park Relays, fourth inthe Maine East relays, andfourth in the district meet.
