By Liz Bozek "That was perfect!" a judge replied after watching Maine South's refreshingly simple Mission Possible device earn over 200 points. The Maine South Science Olympiad team spent April 4 and 5 at the AA State competition. Held at the University of Illinois at Champaign-Urbana, the Hawks managed to experience some of the most and least innovative technology of Illinois including the first experimental agricultural field named Morrow Plots, the development of the pop tab, the reasoning behind the campus's underground library and contemplations regarding the physics and purpose of a mechanical whale. The Hawks proved to be fierce competitors of the brain game. Slavomir Smolen and James Pikul won second in Remote Sensing. Pikul, Tom Bellino and Laura Garofalo wond third in Experimental Design. Fourth place was won by Liz Bozek and Laura Jacox in the Sounds of Music as well as Cell Biology and Designer Genes by Jacox and Matt Bohenek. The Hawks finished well above average out of thirty teams across the state. Maine South was up against top competitors like New Trier and Prospect and competed extremely well.
Science Olympiad would like to congratulate o"ur seniors: Brett Collins, Anthony Gaddini, Paulina Rabcyzk, Slavomir Smolen, Geoff Solvig and Alan Zarychta, and to thank our sponsers: Mrs. Sagmeister and Mr. Depies. The Hawks felt satisfied when the competition was over, but they are also anticipating next year. Six members will be graduating this spring,including three key builders. In order to maintain our success, we will need new recruits. If interested, talk to Mrs. Sagmeister, Mr. Depies, any team member, and check our bulletin board outside A318. There are a few important requirements regarding eligibility in the organization: 1. Must be human, a Maine South student, and able to find room 318 after school on Wednesdays. 2. Must be interested in any aspect of science. 3. Must be willing to consume large quantities of excessively sugary foods in the morning, twice a year. 4. Must choose an event in which to work on, either alone or with a teammate. 5. Must be willing to elevate himself to the epitome of geekdom by wearing the time-honored "Save the Nerds" T-shirt (optional to most).
J Overachievers Science Olympiad says adieu

The Maine South wrestling team lived up to the nickname "the overachievers;" it took first out of twelve in the C.S.L. wrestling tournament and won the "Sport a Winning Attitude Award" presented to the team and coaching staff for doing an exemplary job of displaying a positive attitude at an IHSA interscholastic contest. Mr. Fallico, the head coach, showed his pride for this accomplishment when he said, "not only did the grapplers win the tournament, but also won the respect of all who participated by demonstrating sportsmanship and an honorable competitive spirit." The fourteen varsity Maine South wrestlers McMahon, Doyle, Caudill, Tedeschi, McKay, Schittino, Dilfer, Fallico, Cirrincione, Higgins, Loera, Lovero, Russell, and Stritzel demonstrated Hawk PRIDE by wrestling with class and integrity. This accomplishment came from countless hours of hard work and |determination; other teams could not help but notice their teamwork and good character demonstrated on and off the mat. Hopefully this will be a tradition for all Maine South Hawks.
