Closed Circuit TV Aids Classroom Instruction Closed circuit television, an exciting innovation in education, has become a reality for the students and faculty of Maine South. Consisting of two RCA Viewfinder cameras, an Ampex one inch Video Tape Recorder, operating and control consoles, and 12 monitors, the new equipment wiU improve and expand the current instructional faculties. Mr. Hal Chastain stated, "This equipment is not intended as a teaching substitute, but as a communications medium. Teachers will find it extremely helpful in almost any kind of class." "The basic idea behind educational television," continued Mr. Chastain, "is to enable us to do things we could not do before." As an example of this, Mr. Chastain referred to the English department. "Every year, we have one play here at Maine South that is tied in with the curriculum of the English Department. Productions in past years have been The Miracle Worker, Inherit the
Wind, and Diary of Anne Frank. We can now video tap* segments of these plays to show to future classes who will study the same plays." Or, explained Mr. Chastain, one can look at the Home Economics Department. Every year they have a program dealing with student care of preschool children. This equipment can be used to provide a record of observation of some of the activities for class analysis and discussion. Hie equipment is able to broadcast to any classroom in the building, live or on video tape. Thus, it could also be used for such things as orientation to counseling procedures, vocational guidance, familiarizations of library and reading room facilities, direct instruction, o'' classroom demonstrations in any of the wide range of departments, from the physical education area to the science laboratories. At the present, members of the Radio-TV class are receiving instruction in the operation
and care of the equipment. For the rest of the year, operations will center in the drama classroom. When the additions to the school are added on, including the new cafeteria, the present dishwashing room will become the television studio. Mr. Chastain stated, "In the future, we expect that student operators will be drawn exclusively from the Radio-TV class, an elective course open to sophomores, juniors, and seniors." Initially, the biggest problem with the system, according to Mr. Chastain, will be that some people will look at this as something that is or should be comparable to commercial television. Mr. Chastain expounded on this. "It is important to realize that this will be used for instruction and not entertainment. Yet, we will do everything we can to keep it from becoming a dull form of instruction." "Time will also prove to be a challenging aspect of the system," he added. "If we plan
wus Volume 4, No. 8

to prepare a twenty minute program and then distribute it for class use, the time involved can range anywhere from twenty minutes to twenty hours. However, as we progress even more this problem will gradually solve itself." Continuing he said, "It will be a long time before we can say that we have discovered all things that educational television can do. We know that there are hundreds of schools throughout the nation who use
it. It is a basic agreement of all educators that they have not even scratched the surface in discovering the potential educational television has." Aptly concluding, Mr. Chastain said, "1 think that the basic theme in introducing educational television to any school system is that it will be used exclusively to help us do things which we can not do without it, and to do a better job of meeting the teaching problems we have now. This is our goal."
Southwords and Eyrie staffs participate in filming a T V show for South's new television equipment. The film will be shown in English classes to explain to students the variety of classes and activities available in the communications program at South.

Seniors Wendy, Tom Selected Outstanding Teens of America Wendy Carlsen and Tom Spotts were named today as Outstanding Teenagers of America by the Outstanding .\mericans Foundation. Wendy and Tom were nominated for this honor by Maine South and will compete for stale and national awards in the Outstanding Teenagers of America Program. The Outstanding Americans Foundation, a nonprofit organization, sponsors this award annually. The foundation is dedicated to honoring, inspiring, and encouraging young people to take full advantage of America's opportunities. Senior Wendy Carlsen said. "It took me by complete surprise. I feel quite honored about being selected from so many capable students at South." Among Wendy's achievements have been: biology, French, and chemistry awards, four years on the high honor roll, membership in the National Honor Society, and Quill and Scroll, an honorary writing society.
Wendy has been active in extracurricular activities at South. She is news editor of Southwords, has been on Student Council for two years, and on Class Council for three years. Wendy was class treasurer for two years. Athletic ability is well represented in Tom Spotts '68. Tom has earned his letter in football and track and his numeral in cross country. ITurec of Chicago's four news papers have cited Tom's outstanding athletic ability. Sun Times proclaimed him best prep football player of the year. The Daily News named Tom to their all state prep squad, while the Tribune named him to their all star squad. Tom has also been on the honor roll, in spite of his time-demanding extra-curricular activities. Wendy and Tom were selected for this honor on the basis of ability and achievement. They will compete with the other winners in Illinois for the Gover-
nor's Trophy awarded annually to the most outstanding teenager in each state. They will also be eligible for one of the top ten national awards and college scholarships made available by the Outstanding Americans Foundation. Mr. John Putnam, president of the foundation, said that the goal of the awards program is to "recognize and encourage the ability and achievements of today's young people." Outstanding Teenagers of American Program is guided by a Board of Advisors representing major youth organizations and educational institutions.

Funny Company To Play at Dance
Tom Spotts, left, and Wendy Carlsen, right, receive congratulations and awards from Dr. Clyde Watson, principal, as they learn they have been named Outstanding Teenagers at Maine South by the National Outstanding Americans organization.
Tomorrow, January 27, Tri-S will sponsor an after dance featuring the Funny Company. The dance will be held in the west spectator gym after the Maine South-Maine West basketball game. However, this dance is only the beginning of the plans Tri-S has for the second semester. Gary Johnson '68, president, said, "Among the speakers we hope to get for this semester arc the Republican candidates for Governor of Illinois. As of the moment, we have only one of the two scheduled." They also hope to get as
speakers the Counsul General of at least one or two countries represented in Chicago. Two of these countries are England and Israel. Some projects that Tri-S will sponsor this year include an Intemation Simulation, another contest with Faces in History, and a drive for hard-cover books for Asian students. The Intemation Simulation will take place some Saturday afternoon early in spring. In this, students will simulate the condition of imaginary countries as regarding economics, politics, and military accomplish-
ments. In the past this simulation has proved to be not only educational, but also interesting fun. Last year Tri-S sponsored a contest called Faces in History which they will repeat again this year because of its popularity. At the end of the year Tri-S will sponsor several banquets, one for History awards, and one for its club members. Sometime this spring Tri-S will also hold a meeting of the Maine South Historical Society. Tri-S is the parent organization of the Maine South Historical Society.

Students Vote Yes to Constitution Referendum Bulletin — Student Council announced today that the revised constitution was accepted by the student body at Thursday's election. Maine South students voted yesterday on a referendum to accept or reject a completely revised Student Council constitution. The proposed constitution represents the first complete constitutional revision presented to the students in Maine South's history. Past revisions were either incomplete or defeated in Student Council. There are two significant changes in the new constitution. The new constitution eliminates Student Council experience as a qualification for Student Council officers. Thus, any student could run for any Student Council office, whether or not he has ever been on Student Council before. However, he would have to meet the other qualifications for the office regarding grade average, standing in school, and approval by his counselor. The other change concerns the qualifications for the Upper House complex leaders. The required grade point average for Upper House candidates would be lowered from 2.5 to 2.0. The Constitution presents other modifications of the old constitution as well. Ambiguities
and conttadictions have been eliminated. The old constitution has been cut in size by almost one half. Also, the constitution was modified so that it would conform to present practices in the area of h&meroom voting and elections that were not included in the old constitution. The old constitution presented many problems, because it was based almost solely upon the
Maine East Student Council c'onstiti'tion. This constitution was impractical in the light of the Maine South homeroom complex system. A Constitution Revision Committee, consisting of six SC members and the two sponsors, wrote the new constitution. Gary Johnson '68 was chairman. The committee also completely revised the Student Council By-Laws. Proposed by-laws
would combine the Monitor committee with the Service Corps. The by-laws would establish a new chairmanship, V-Show business manager. V-Show business manager would help coordinate the Drama Department and Student Council, sponsor of VShow. by handling all business aspects of the producticD. Another change in the bylaws describes procedures for the replacement of council mem-
Fear is Here: Girls' Choice Dance Near! By Allyn EIriksen '69 and Sue Hendricks '69 It's that switch-about time of the year again here at Maine South when all the giddy girls ask happily anticipating boys to the Girls' Choice Dance. (Right?) For all you girls having trouble finding that happily anticipating boy, here are some helpful hints: 1) Become a Part of His Life —a. When he and his friends are lighting up in the back of the bus, join them. Be one of the guys! b. Go wherever he goes, he won't mind. 2) 'When the preceding techniques fail, he may be more interested in another type of girl; for instance, a. Try turning on all your charm. Smile.

W e Need Leaders In this issue the editors have a story announcing that Southwords is seeking new staff members for next year. As sponsor I would like to reinforce their request, because I feel they need renewed support from the student body. Particularly from the boys at South. We need more leadership from all students at Maine South. We need boys and girls who will be dedicated reporters and editors. It seems strange to us that the journalism profession is dominated by men, but that high school publications seem to be increasingly dominated by girls. We would like to see a balance. Publications work is fun. It is hard work and it is time consiuning, but it is personally satisfying. Pubhcations writers have a chance to promote fair play, to meet interesting people, and, when necessary, to assume a role of leadership in eliminating problems or injustice within the school community. The key word here is leadership — writing for three thousand readers requires judgment, tact, honesty, and an absolute commitment to accuracy. Commiuiications in this age of grade pressure, exploding population, and increasing regulations to cope with that increased population present a challenge to student leadership. Next year and in coming years we have to find students willing to sacrifice the time and energy necessary to meet this challenge. To fail to do so will mean that responsible newspaper journalism will cease to be a factor in the school community. After all, a newspaper is only as good as the student body wants it to be. If Southwords is to continue as a strong publication, it will have to have more, fully committed, fully involved students seeWng to become a part of this publication. Ken Beatty, sponsor
Knock him dead in the hall! b. Or, be witty. Let him know how intelligent you really are, especially socially, c. Enchant him with your beauty. Try walking down the hall without your saddle shoes for once. 3) If all else fails, show him that he is important. Talk alKiut how popular you are, but that you still like him. Finally, when it comes right down to the asking, let him know how embarrassing it is. You may even want to carry a list of prepared subject starters to get him in the mood. (These above techniques are unconditionally guaranteed, providing hou are pretty, witty, and charming—and for those of you who aren't, please refrain from sending complaints.) And now for aU you little lost boys: "How to keep from being asked to the Girls' Choice." 1) First, and most important, when you see a girl coming with "that look" in her eyes, rim, but be prepared to engage in this exercise for at least a week. 2) Be sure that you don't even look at any girl until after February 10. This is the tested and proved effective method. 3) Never accept a phone call after six-thirty unless it is from a decidedly masculine voice. Should it happen to be a girl, even with this precaution, you can always say truthfully, "Oh, I thought you were a boy." That ought to get to her! As a note: these have been ried, and proved, for the most part, successful. But, once you have been asked or you have accepted, do not try to get out of your obligations by using these techniques. They often have the opposite effect!

Combined Concert, Cadet Bands To Highlight Mid-winter Concert The Maine South Concert and Cadet Bands will present a Midwinter Concert Sunday, January 28, at 3:30 p.m. in the school auditorium. In keeping with the spirit of the Illinois Sesquicentennial, the band will open with a fanfare based on the official song wTitten for this occasion, followed immediately by "Duty, Honor and Country," an address to the West Point Cadets by General Douglas MacArthur and set to music. Color guard for this event and the "Star Spangled Banner" will be furnished by the 5th Army Headquarters of Fort Sheridan. Featured on the band program will be a flute solo by 28 flutists, members of both Concert and Cadet Bands, in Massenet's "Meditation" from "Thais." This number is one of a series of numbers transcribed for the University of Illinois Concert Band by Dr. A. A. Harding. Assisted by brass players from Cadet Band to form two Antiphonal Brass Choirs, the band will perform the "Finale" to Kalinnakov's "Symphony No. 1 in G Minor." The percussion section of the Concert Band will be featured in a contemporary band selection by John Barnes Chance, "Incantation and Dance." The Cadet Band members will be added to the Concert

Applications may be picked up in PA-110 or from the music teachers. Sheets are available in the library for students to study. Mr. Irwin Bell, vocal director, explained that the singers should be able to project their voices above the orchestra, must have a range of volume, and a good personality. "There is a good mixture of male and female vocal parts," stated Mr. Bell. "The chorus takes a full range of voices. Preparation for the audition means a good job of learning the lines for the musical itself," he added. A student need not be a member of the music department in order to audition.

Gymnasts Lead Conference
Bill Blunk prepares to dismount in the side horse event against New T r i e r West. Bill helped the Hawks to a 73 to 59 victory by taking f i r s t . Hawk power has varied in this event as Blunk and Don Braun have both been getting f i r s t .
Maine South's varsity gymnastics team, having passed the roughest obsticles of its conference schedule, is stiU undefeated through eight contests. The musclemen are first in conference standings after defeating Niles West, 69-63, and New Trier West, the Hawks' toughest conference rival, 73-59. This leaves the Hawks in excellent position for the rest of the season, as their next three meets are with the weaker conference powers. They will face Maine West away tonight and Glenbrook South at home next week on Saturday afternoon. The meet with Niles West started off well, as the Hawks swept the first three places. Seniors Dean Mulcahy, Bill Kersting, and junior Larry Barcheski took honors in that order. In the sidehorse event, senior Don Braun took a first.
while senior Bull Blunk and junior Ryan Fergison finished fourth and fifth. South did not fare as well in the high bar event as in the two previous events. The Hawks only accumulated nine points as senior Paul Riis took second, junior Mike Mermel finished fourth, and sophomore Jack Farney came in sixth. Maine's outstanding parallel bar team of senior John Davis, junior Neil Hagen, and senior Dave Switzer, did it again as they swept the event for the Hawks, taking first, second, and third in that order. However, with the loss of senior Vince DeVincenzo, the reverse was true in the rings event. Senior Duane Kelly finished only fourth, while juniors Jim Mieszala and Niel Hagen came in fifth and sixth. The tumblers fared slightly better, as senior John Headly
captured first, and sophomore Bud Hurlstone and Mulcahy finished fifth and sixth. In their most recent meet with New Trier West, the Hawks once again swept the trampoline event, Mulcahy, Kersting, and Barcheski in that order. On the sidehorse. Blunk took a first, Fergison a second, and Braun sixth. Paul Riis tied foi a first on the high bar, while Mermel and Farney came ir fifth and sixth. On the parallel bars, Davis Hagen, and Switzer did it agair as they shut out their opponents once more. The squad formec by these three has swept theii event in every meet but one, and are practically a guaranteed ten points for the Hawk lead. Kelly, Hagen, and Meiszala had better luck on the rings as they finished second, third, and sixth.
Hawkmen Lead CSL A f t e r First Hound Last week, thirteen was the magic number for the varsity cagers. The Hawks won their thirteenth game without defeat last Saturday night by beating
Glenbrook North 83 to 56. In honor of their thirteenth win, the Associated Press rated the Hawks thirteenth in the state. In addition, the Hawks were rated third in the Chicago
Junior Varsity Undefeated In Overall Season Action Playing in the shadow of the varsity on Saturday mornings, a Maine South basketball team has also built up an undefeated record in both conference and non-conference action. At present, the Hawk junior varsity record stands at 7-0 in conference and 10-0 overall. The present South JV team is composed of last year's conference champion sophomore team, and regularly starts 6'-l" Glen Hofeldt and 6-2" Ralph
Tankers Downed In Rugged Play Our Maine South mermen lost a tough one last Friday to a fine Deerfieid squad by a score of 65 to 30. Since the creation of the Central Suburban League two years ago, the Warriors have reigned supreme in swimming with this year being no exception. Consequently, the results of the meet were not much of a surprise for anyone. Scutb's Hawks earned only three firsts in the meet. The 200-yard medley relay consisting of Frank McCuUough, Ray McCullough, Si Manilla, and Jim Benda came out on top with a winning time of 1:46. Frank McCuUough finished ahead of the rest of the field in the 100-yard backstroke with a winning time of 57.9. It should be noted that this is a good three seconds slower than the time he won the state cbampicnship in last year. Brother Ray did equally well, taking first in the 400-yard freestyle event. Ray swam the distance in 4:11.6. On Saturday, the tankers competed in the Indian Relays at New Trier East. This meet is also known as the "little state meet", as it has some very strong teams competing. The meet was disaster for the Hawks, as they finished last. Ray McCullough was the only bright spot for the Hawks, taking second in the 200-yard individual medley event. Frank did not swim in the meet because of an ailing shoulder. His time in the backstroke would have been good enough for a first.
Remus at guard, and 6'-l" Steve Gabbert and 6'-3" Bob Nettinga at forward. Like the varsity, the team has six "regulars", as Garj- Possehl and Glenn Shirmir, both 6'-3", alternate at center or occasionally play forward. The JV Hawks have been led so far by the fast breaks and shooting accuracy of Remus and the baseline power of Nettinga. Both maintain a 16 point average throughout all games, while Nettinga averages 17 and Remus 14,5 in conference. Ralph has turned in several spectacular performances when he scored 29 against Prospect, 27 against Glenbrook South, and 22 against Deerfieid. Bob, on the other hand, has stayed more consistantly around his average, his high game coming against New Trier West when he chalked up 22. Forward Steve Gabbert and guard Glen Hofeldt both have averaged around eight points per game, but display different styles of play. Steve is one of the breakaway threats in the Hawk fast break and is an aggressive rebounder. Glen is the JV"s playmaker who sets up Hawk scores with his stead ballhandling and can be relied on for the outside shot. Gary Possehl and Glen Schirmir, along with Nettinga, are part of a formidable forward wall that blunts the offense of their opponents by consistantly snatching rebounds of the first shot, while pounding the boards on offense for any wayward shots. Gary carries a nine point average, while Glenn averages six. The JV Hawks started off their season with three consecutive non-conference wins, 75-44 over Ridgewood, 57-44 against Prospect, and 53-44 against New Trier East. The Hawks then started conference action with a win over Maine West, 63-52. Nine players contributed points to the second annual hundred point game with Glenbrook South. After that 100-34 win, the JSs downed Niles North, 6345, Deerfieid. 70-55, and Niles West, 50, and finished last weekend with successive victories over New Trier West, 89-77 and Glenbrook North, 70-35.
area behind Evanston and Lockport Central. While the Hawks are not tops in the state scene, they are number one in the Central Suburban League at the end of the first round. After last week, the conference race is close but is narrowed down to two teams. The only squad that has a chance against the Hawk's 7-0 record is Niles North at 6-1. The Hawks are the only ones to beat Niles in conference play to date. Niles West and New Trier West are just about out of contention, as the Indians have three losses, while the Cowboys have four. In addition, neither team looks impressive enough to give the Hawks any worries. Niles North beat both of these teams last week. A loss to either one would just about have given the crown to the Hawks. As it stand now, the Vikings must beat the Hawks in their meeting two weeks from tonight. Even if the Hawks do lose a game, which is unlikely, the worst they can do without losing another one is tie for the championship. A Viking loss would just about eliminate all hopes for a Niles crown. Niles fans are optimistic about the outcome of the Hawk-Viking clash. Coach Brady, however, has other ideas predicting a win for the boys in red. It would not be wise to be too optimistic, as one must remember last year when the
Hawks seemingly had things wrapped up going into the second round. After dropping games to Deerfield and Maine West, teams they had easily beaten before, the Hawks blew one with Niles West and consequently lost the championship. The key for the Hawk offensive assault so far has been center Dave Butz. For the last seven games he has been team high-scorer. Butz is well ahead of the rest of the team in scorin with 231. He also leads in rebounding. Jim Schmitz has been the key man on defense for the Hawks. As has been mentioned before, defense is the big part of the Hawk game, and Schmitz has certainly filled this role well. Gary Lange has been another stalwart in the lineup, possssing a great shot from the corner. Lange is second in scoring with 180 points. Henry Perez has not been doing any heavy scoring but he has been playing well nevertheless. Perez has a good outside shot along with a tremendous drive-in shot. With more opportunities to score, Perez could easily be a big scorer. In recent games, Mike Masoncup has regained his effectiveness with his outside jumpers, greatly aiding the team, while Tome McClayton continues to set up the big plays for the scores.
J i m Schmitz (14) rebounds w i t h Glenbrook's Tom Hutchinson (31). Tonight, the Hawks open up the second round with cross town rivals Maine West. The Warriors will be out to avenge the 80 to 48 drubbing they took in the last meeting. In spite of what their record shows, Maine West is not a bad team, but simply inconsistent. Warriors Harry Tistle and Bruce Kaechele are two of the hottest scores in the conference. West's weakness has been the inability of the rest of the team to take up the rest of the slack.
Matmen Win Over New Trier; Then Win at Forest View Quad Wrestling has proven to be in the last few weeks, one of the most rising sports in popularity, and last week, the wrestling team responded to their new-found popularity with two victories. On Friday, the Hawks easily beat New Trier West 35 to 9. The Hawks had the meet sewed up as soon as the 145-pound match ended whereas a meet will usually go down to one of the final matches. With this second conference win under Iheir belts, the Hawks traveled to Poorest View where they captured a quadrangular meet. The Hawks won the meet going away with 97 points. Host school Forest View was second with 88, while Rockford East was third with 74. Rcckford West brought up the rear with 54. Ral|ifi Rozny, at 103-pounds, was one of the most outstanding
if not most improved wrestler over the weekend. Rozny beat his Cowboy opponent 6 to 0, and then finished first in the quad, pinning his man in the finals. For his efforts, Rozny was named "Co-Wrestler of t h e Week". It should be noted that before this time, Rozny has won only once. The main weakness of the Hawks has been the ineffectiveness in the lower weights. It now appears that the two sophomores Rick Boran and Ralph Rozny are finally coming around. Boran pinned against Niles West last week, and he also took third in the quad. Hopefully, these grapplers will continue in their winning ways. Obviously embarrassed for not pinning Eric Fiech at the recent sports assembly, Les Mathews finally did the trick, pinning his New Trier man at 1:10. Les has won a large number of matches, but this was his
first pin. This includes practice as well as meets. Taking a second in the quad. Les earned his share of "Wrestler of the Week", honors. The middle weights of 127, 133, and 138 have been the strongest for the Hawks this year with last weekend being no exception. Rick and Tom Neuses and Tom Schussler all went undefeated in the two day action. Dave Miller has recently done some fine wrestling at 165. Miller took a first in the quad, but lost 4 to 3 against New Trier's Joe Spera. Spera is said to be one of the best 65's in the area, and he went all the way to the sectional last year. The only one to beat him so far this season has been Miller in a Christmas tournament. Tonight, the Hawks will go against Maine West there. The Hawks have yet to t)eat the Warriors on the mat.
