It began with an assembly at wh i ch the eval uators were introduced, and the eva l uation was

explained .

Then the students were dis m i ssed and went on with their normal routine, which the eva lua t ors obse rved.

The evaluator s came into sev eral classes. and frequent l y asked questions of s tudent s . It seemed tha t they we r e here only a relatively 5 h 0 r t time to ob -

serve a ll the workings of the

school.

The next day , s tudent s l earned about the preliminary report in one oftwow~ys. In Student Coun cil, Mr. Torrez gave hi s opinions on the preliminary report.

He thou ght that the Council could pl ay an important role in effectin g some oCthe changes alggestccl by the evalua t o r s , especiall y in such s pecific areas as Curricu l um , Independent Project, Dress Standard s , and "the ins u I ate d life an Academy stud ent leads . "

Senior Project this year has be e n renamed Ind e pendent projed, and the ' studen t body has shown e:reat interest in devel ooing a gOOd worklIlg project by.

'3~cond semester.

The tirst meet1n~ was one Df both faculty and interested s tudents . Many !;;enio r s , and even more Junior s showed up. The sutdents voiced thei r need of in dependence in se ttin g up the ba sic g uid e l ines oCthe project, and then e lected Kaarina Salovaara as chairman to guide the group .

Rather than form a sma ll er com mittee, Kaarinadecided to leave all meet open to all students .

VANDALISM

November 23, 1971

IHiE ACADEMY NEWS

~----_~e.~--------------------I

Mark Schneider I was shocked to find out that our school had been invaded by underworld vandals. As the evalu a t1 0 n committee had sald, I thought that MP A was insulated from such things. But I was wrong.

Las t wee k I was wandering aimlessly around the halls after school when I saw a few members of the Student Councllwith worried looks on their faces~ I asked what was the matter, and the y s aid that the y had to take down the posters they had Just put up on the walls because they were being defaced, stolen, or mutilated. They then asked me to help them, and I consented.

As I was removing the remainder of some scotch tape from the wall, I asked them who they thought was guilty. They seemed to think that it was done by students, butl thought that was absurd.

Everyone knows that the members 0 f 0 u r student body are above such things. And even if any wayward soul happened to get the inclination to deface one of the posters, someone else would be sure to tell him what a foolish deed it would be.

I am therefore convinced. that the r e must be some group of vicious vandals coming in for the sole pur po s e of defacing our school. It would be a sad day if any MPA student would sink so low•

The Evaluation "Now, ah, Mr. God ••• " "God will suffice."

"Ah, yes. God. As you know, we have been selected from the commission tn do, ah, an evaluation qf your system. Here are our preliminary' findmgs."

"Of Course."

"To begin with, Mr. God ••• " "God." "Ah, yes. To begin_with, ah~ God, we have noted with great interest the diversification ofthe following of 'Your Will. "' "We have many different interpretations. " "Ah, yes. Well, don'tletit get out of hand. " "I'll talk it over with my subordinates. " "Very.good. Now, ah, we have been concerned with the amount of return you have given your consumers on their investment.

We are of the impression that it would be wise to, well, give them more for their money, 50 to speak. Perhaps if you conducted bi-weekly sessions."

"No, no, youdon'tunderstand,

with the way we operate, it is supposed to be an every .day s es sion, within one's own self. " "Well, the thought is nice, but the actual result is intangible in our terms. You should pursue new courses of action to achieve you ends."

"We'll see what we can do."

"Ah, yes, very good. Now, we have also noted with great interest the growing lack of faith in your system. The consumer market has grown increasingly wary of the interpretations 0 f 'Your Will." There are even some that claim knowlege of your death. This can have a bad effect on the product and we feel that the situation should be remedied immediately. " "Well, we have been trying."

"Ah, yes. We have noticed your at tern p t to communicate with the younger g e n era t ion through your son. A very noble experiment worthy of continued work, but we do wish you would discontinue the 'freak' connotations that it carries. Remember,

the largest group' of consumers: of your product consists of people over 35.

"Ah, now of particular interest to us is your grading system.

We find your 'pass-fail' method veryext;eme: perhaps too much so."

"It has worked well for us for the past few thousand years. " "Ah, yes, but trends can be deceiving. Now finally, we believe that on the whole, the director of an industry should be closer to the consumers of his product.

Y ouought to reach out to each and everyone of them and explain to them what your product can do for them. " "That's the whole idea. " "Ab, yes, well thank you very much for your participation in our e:valuation. Our formal report will follow by the end of the m 0 nth. We hope that you will adopt our seggestions."

"Verywell. See you Sunday."

"Sunday? Gracious no. Sunday's my golf day. " "Ah, yes."

Student Movie Review: Bless the Beasts and the Children

SCCC Experiments with Education

Wendy Wagner Bless the Beasts and Child ren is a n unforget~able emotional - experience that tells the story of six misfit boys in a boys cainp.

All the boys .had their own in dividual problems at home and none of them were athletic . So whe n the time comes for various awards, they receive the l owest awards imaginable. Their cabin counselo rs sum m edit up for them. He said they were "dings !"

They had no use in the world, they were no good to anyone, they were jus t a bu rden on the earth.

Then he took them for a fun tripto a big ca rnival where hunters cou l d get their jo lli es shooting buffalo ina pen; just mowing them down for no reason at all. The boys became sick at heart and decided to help their fellow "dings," the buffalo.

After the show we were able to talk and ask questions with the producer, Stan le y Kramer.. I

found out that only one of the boys had done any acting at all and they all had problems s i milar to that of the boys in the film. There we r e many ideas on the theme of the story and on whether or rot certain scenes were necessary or not. Kramer works hard to portray certain feelings in hi s f il ms so that the y 're always a little more than mere路 entertainment.

M::i.ny p e 0 p Le, including the author, didn't think that the book could be made into a movie and still retain the same qualities.

The film po int s out the hard ness and cruelty of our society and in the words ofG l e n donSuarthout, the autho r of Bless the Beasts and Childr en. It has two themes: A llliv in g things are kin; and that by freein g others, we free ourse l ves.

Ble,ss the Beasts and Children is now downtown and is rated GP.

Key Cluh Week 1l-e \\6k d November ~ through De cember 4 ha s been des ignated by the Kiwanis Clubs of Ame!ica to be Key C l ub Week. The KiwanisChapterinour area ha s invited the Mo r ga n Park Acad emy Chapter of Key C l ub to at tend their meeting on Tuesday Nov . 30, 1971. They have re quested that the i r meeting be planned and run by our Key Club officer s.

The Key Club at Morgan P a rk Academy in the la st two or three

wee k s has appointed cha irmen to the various standing committees. and has formed it s board of directors. In tryin g to fulfill their obligations as a service club , J:KOjects are in the making to bring Christmas spirit to the poor and sick , and the club is also planning to recycl e gl ass . The Key Club presently is engaged in a fru ib: ake drive for the Thanks g iving and Christmas holidays w hi c h will hel p pay for the processing fees of its members and make dues unneces sary .

"An Experiment in Education" as it is called. i s a p ropo sal th at has been submitted by the Sturent Council Curiculum Commit tee to the Student Council and the Administration concerning the utilization of 路s c h 0 0 I time and faciliti es t o provide top i c s of interest t o the students .

The purposes and go al s 0 f th e experiment are as taken from the proposal: " I) To a u gment the regular curdcul um with immediately rel evant topics .... 2)To sugg est areas of pos s ible student conc ern w h i c h approp riate department might wish t o incorporate into its r egtl lar curriculum.

3)To ut il ize a willing community of parents, o rganlz atio~ and em plo yer s as re sourc e persons. 4) To encourage inte r school relat i 0 IT by inviting students fro m otter schools to participate.5) To demon s trate to p ic s of relevance of the regular school curriculum with a se n se of ind ependence and a mutua l working respect in a college type atmosphere. " According t o the proposal, the philosophy behind this undertaking is that the stu d ents will learn so mething new, establi s h a sincere wo r king cooperati on

alnong themse l ves, and provide the participant with a sense 路of accompllshment ldOlng so rn e e t hing positive ) . "The proposal would j1rovide a college atmos phere of independence and r esppnsibil\ty, which co incide s with academic preparation for col _ l ege. " The committee also states, thou g h, that the proposed pr(..-gram woul d be misused by a few but that most students would take enough interest in the topic s to make that problem neglibible.

The topic s of most interest to students (as per the poll taken during the mont h of October ) ar e c!udedE.S.P., Medicine , Law , Drug Problems , and Witchcraft and Sorcery.

Problems do cha lleng e the success of the proj ect . though .

Times and p l aces of seminars, the method of recruiting speakers and whether they will be r e ':' numerated for their effo'rts, hav e not been decided . Settin g up a program that will interest the majority of students , transportations to and from the seminar.s, and the r es ponsibilitie s of atl i nvolved in upholdin g the proposal's goal s, are inh erent problems which , if overlooked could jeopardize it s success.

If you expect to be able to answer their questions, maybe you ought to read it yourself.

You'll find that the book says a lot of the things you 've been feeling all along.

The kind of things that may make your parents a little uncomfortable about their comfortable existence.

The kind of things that may finally get them to realize that unless we all start working on solutions, we're all going to continue dying because of the problems.

The book can show you how to vole before you're 18.

Voting is basically a way of selecting your leaders and getting them to do the things you want done.

Now, you can influence that process without ever going near a ballol box.

THE ACA D EMY NEWS

Who gets the kickback .from the sale of this book?

You do.

A portion of the money from each book sold will go to a special Environmental Education Fund.

In the Chicago area alone, tens of thousands of dollars will be raised. thai money will pu rchase environmental

From the materials given to you r school. you will benefit directly. From the materials given to other schocls; you will also benefit.ln the same way that all of us will.

For the sale of your parents, leave the book in a conspicuous place.

The book is more than a beginning. It is the foundation of an entire program.

Because the more books that are sold. the more post cards that will be mailed.

The same referee had officiated at the Faulkner game here at MPA on October 18. Her words probably stemmed from the fact that the team played as ifthey were inspired . Even thoug h the fina l score was 0 - 0 , the score belied the g ood pl ay and team work that the game contained.

Perhaps the score was low. but the w ill and agressiveness the team dis pia yed ':a s conside rable.

So the final g ame of the sea son result ed ina tie, and l eft t he team with a season record of thre e wins, three losses, and one tie.

Speaking of Sports: Basketball Undefeated ?

At the close of the football season , the MPA varsity Warriors stood with and unparal elled record of 6-0 to take the inde pendent Schoo l League football championship . Next is basket ball.

The 1971-1 972 varsity basket ball team looks like i t can also go all the way. The team has the height , the speed, the coaching, and the desire to become a first place team. All we can do now is wait and see.

Would it be possibl e for the team to continue with the unde -

feated streak started by the football team. Taking the ISL championship, no mean task in itself, is one thing , but remaining un defeated is quite another. I t is a job that is certainly not eas il y achieved.

Ifeel , however, that our varsity War riors can take fir st place in basketball , and pos sibly go undefeated, but the team must ii r s t work hard , and achieve good s pee tat 0 r support, both at home and away . Weill have to see how the season goes. Lee s make it MPA, all the way.

M.P.A. SPORTS ISL Football Champs "We're number 1 !"

How l ong we've waited to here that!

The varsity football Warriors completely cominated the Independent S c h 0 0 1 League with a phenomonal8 wins and no lo sses (within the le ague ) and outs coring the opponents 4 02 - 6 .

Our dream came true with a v eng e f u 1 victory 22 - 0 against Lake Forest October 23. And the season was broug ht to a fitting close with the unbelievable slaughter of Latin. It was 0 n 1 y

prope r that the season's last p Ia y was an 85 yard touchdown run by Frank Jones and then the 2 e xtra pontsi by Bob Montgomery. The Latin score, the highest shu t - out by any Warrior team in hi story , was perfectly atypical of the s tyle of play the MPA fans are used to .

Who could for ge t last year w ith the Warriors takin g second place after a h eartb reakin g loss to Lake Forest. But that was l ast year ; this i s OUR year ! "\Ve're number 1 !11

Ou r thanks go t o all the wonde r ful WARRIORS who made us proud to be call ed MJrgan Park Academy , this season and a l so to varsity coaches Jones and Cleary , and Frosh - Soph coaches Distasio and Saathoff who coached our teams to v i ctory .

in the ba s ic format of the game " One is that the team "will consist of five pIa y e r s instead 0 f the prev i ous six.

The other change is that the girls will be p l aying against a 30 second clock. This means tha t they mu st shoot w ithin 30 sec 路 onds after they take possession of the ball . Notonlywillthis in sure a gainst any RtaUing tactics, but it will k ,.. :. p t he game movin g at a fast pace .
