Fun, isn't it? Isn't it appetizing to all, to wade into our cafeteria for lunch?

No! It's a sty! We don't care though, we're seniors and we're leaving. In our last letter we asked you to shovel your way to lunch. Forget it. Now you need a snowblower, next year it will be a bulldozer, and after two more years, a tank.

Don't you dare complain about the cafeteria food, you deserve worse. Maybe we'll come back next year with dynamite and try to blow you out of the debris.

Second, to Mrs. Sellers, a butterfly collection to go along harmoniously with her yoga butterfly exercise and other yoga exercises, so when she is in her positions, she will have extreme relaxation, and dream of her beach with the sun center spreading warmth to all parts of the body. Thanks for the fun!

The soccer team, being poor misplaced souls, leave their losing record to the J.V. cheerleaders who never cheered us on.

BY KIMBERLY KUMIEGA

"Describe four years of your life in 400 words or less." This is an assignment that no teacher, no matter how bad, ugly or virtually vicious he is, will require a student to write about.

The reason is, it's impossible to express all the fear, excitement, surprise, sadness and happiness that we've felt.

Change becomes the obvious key word to our high school experience.

From "teeny hoppers" to "legal" adults, we've changed. I can't say I'm anxious to leave some true friendships behind, but I can't say I'd do it all over again either. Mixed emotionsfeelings nuuiing all over the place.

We all look forward with conscious anticipation, trying not to look back. How can we not though? How can we know if it's all uphill / downhill from here? We don't.

For many of us, now is the time to make it or break it on our own. Everyone gets a fresh start. But will you be higher or

lower, popular or lonely, friendly or conceited? How do you see yourself, the world, life?

Any bitterness is gone now. Everyone is instead concentrating on only what he can retain from Maine South: the friends, the fun, the parties.

We all march towards our graduation commencement confident that we are "well known" to our classmates. Then, we realize just how many faces are strange to us' Then we realize how many people we don't know, how much farther we have to go, and how much we don't want to let go.

In spite of all the library systems, the closed campus, the non-smoking regulations and the study halls, we all came out all right. We grew into Maine South as we each grew up.

Maybe all our disagreements and fervent complaining stemmed from a genuine concern about our school and our relation with it.

Taking everything into consideration, I'll miss Maine South, and I thank it for letting me become a part of it.

I hereby be . . . (continued from page 2) rules on how to make a successful pyramid and at the same time keep all of the teeth in your mouth.

We the "Back-Row" of A-223 being of prejudiced mind and ethnic body, do hereby will to Mr. "Bob Hope" Morris, the "BackRow." We leave him our suburbia games for his next dinner party, 33 candles for his birthday cake and a one-way ticket to Ellis Island. Also we include a set of his favorite eighttrack tapes; "The Best of the Chicanes, Mark Gibski Live, 201 Questions You Never Thought of Asking by Kathy Kadlec, Fred Koramatsu Singing Four Foot Five, Slanty Eyes." Lastly, we leave you, Mr. Morris, with the last "Back-Row" quote, "In this entire mess only the 'Back-Row' has class."

I, Kim Kumiega, being of pounding temples (after typing all these wills), and exhausted fingers, do hereby bequeath to Russ Skiba, all the "fun" I've had with Southwords this year. To Julie Keller, luck with Russ, Chris, John and Dan at the printer's next year. To John Peters, reporters who continually ask, "What should I write about?" To Chris Sopata, the hope that you'll do less talking (about Hawk, O.C. etc.) and more working. To Dan, prayers.

To all the reporters, I leave the big booming metropolis of Maine South to identify, predict, decide and act on. To Russ, the wish that somebody steals your "park bench." Remember our motto: We're no. 3, we don't try at all.

We, the fearsome foursome (Gibs, Loads, Skull, and Vinops) of Mr. Elliot's final Calculus class, being of integral minds and differential bodies, do bequeath to next year's B.C. saps, our heartfelt sympathy. Due to the loss of Mr. Elliott as professor of Calculus, we feel it is our duty to equip you with the necessary tools, such as a handy fly swatter, a telescope, and a hand wave for when you're in trouble. But for times of real distress, remember our motto, "Hey Day, wait for t"

To Cindy Schulthesz and Debbie Eckel, all our memorable conversations of the above and the book "101 Ways To Argue with Your Brother and Win!" To Mr. Martello and my Drama class, my apologies for all my tennis poems, jokes, stories and monologues with the hope that some future tennis player can make better use of them than I did.

I leave to Mr. Heerman's daddy whose witty sayings he left to his son will follow me all the days of my life. "You can't fall off the bed if you're already on the floor." And "Talk's cheap; it

takes money to buy whiskey. " (I never quite got that one, not that I got the others.) To Mrs. Heerman, my sympathy. Can you imagine how many of daddy's sayings she must know. And in conclusion, to Maine South, as Mr. Heerman (not his father) says, "Where learning and fun are one," I just simply LEAVE.

Also all of your so called "easy" tests accompanied by that enriching French classical music that inspired "who knows what" throughout the year. And to our dear ex-math teacher, Mr. 0.

Take care Mr. 0., we'll all miss you. And to all the incoming freshmen, our library cards and all the forged passes plus the pain and suffering of their next four years. To the actual school, nothing but our lockers and whatever is left behind in them.

We, Betty Solon and Kathy Wieland, being of satarized minds and humorous bodies, do hereby bestow unto Mr. L.

Athlete of the Year Sue Leonard

Athlete of the Year Tim McNamara

Athlete of the Year Kim Lindstrom

I, Joanne Novak, of highly intellecual mind and hopeless body, leave to my freshman sister Jos, a stack of library passes so she may be able to cut 9th period study. To my homeroom teacher, Mr. LaFruit, a new group of freshmen who will not touch the door knob. And to Patty Hicks, my blessings, for if she ever takes another chemistry course with Mr. Schmidt, she'll need them!

Athletes of Year Chosen Kim Lindstrom was elected as one of the girl's athletes of the year. Sue Leonard was selected to share the title of girl's athletes of the year with Kim and Tim McNamara was named athlete of the year.

Beginning with Kim, she has never lost a race in a dual meet or conference meet in her four year high school career. She was captain of the 1976 swim team. She showed her leadership when she was the first girl in Illinois to be selected to the Ail-American Swim Team. Not stopping there, she won two 1st places in the 1975 State Swim Meet and is the only swimmer in Illinois to hold two records in two events for two consecutive years.

Her track record is as follows: five varsity records, four conference records and two state, records. Because of her accomplishments, Kim qualified for the 1976 Olympic trials in California.

As of late, she has been named to the National Federation of State High School Association's Honor Roll. She was also named to the All-State Team her junior and senior years. "Kim," says Miss Dawn Butler, the swim coach, "helped the 1975 team to bring Maine South it's first lUinois State High School State Championship."

Sue Leonard's accomplishments were no less awesome than Kim's. Sue has received a total of 11 varsity letters in her four years at Maine South: Freshman year, one junior varsity and two varsity; sophomore year, three varsity; junior year, three varsity; senior year, three varsity.

Sue has been active in three sports, voUevball, basketball and Softball.

Starting with volleyball. Sue has been on the team all four years. She has played on the varsity team the past three years, and has been co-captain the past two years. As a senior, Sue played defensive specialist and offensive middle hitter. At these positions, she led the team to 20-2

record and Sweet 16 in state. Her team accompUshments are as follows: highest passing percentage over four years, most spike aces in four years and ranked in the top 2 per cent in serving for four years. Sue was selected outstanding defensive player in 1975 at summer volleyball camp.

As in volleyball. Sue has been on the varsity basketball team for all four years and was a cocaptain both junior and senior years. Again receiving awards for her outstanding performance, she was named the outstanding offensive player in 1975 and the outstanding team player in 1976 at the William Penn College summer camp. On her own team, again Sue is a leader for she scored the most points in the history of Maine South's Girl's Basketball Team. Having the highest free throw shooting percentage over four years, was another one of her achievements.

Not to sound repetitious, but again Sue was on the varsity softball team for all four years. A leader once more, she was the senior co-captain. She's been one of the team leaders in stolen

bases in the past four years, has scored one of leading run scorers and is one of the top R.B.I, averages.

Boy's athlete of the year. Tim McNamara has had an outstanding high school career. One of the Hawk's most dependable runner, Tim lead this year's two mile relay to a third place at the state meet this season.

McNamara also won the conference mile event this season.

Unselfishly, Tim sacrificed his chance to run in the state mile competition so he could compete in the relay event.

A three year letterman in both cross country and track, Tim has held the school record in the mile run for the past two years.

Last year, Tim won both the cross country and track MVP honors. As a junior, he took a fourth place in the conference meet for cross country and also took a fourth place in the mile run in state track competition.

During his sophomore year, Tim took a fifth place in conference meet competition.

McNamara was also MVP for the cross country team his sophomore year.
