Class of '69
40 years in the Making

aine south women agter 40 yrsts

This picture was taken on 6/20/09 at Romano's in Des Plaines.  The four of us graduated on 6/11/69,
 almost 40 years to the day before the shot was taken.  We all worked on the Eyrie together, way back when.
 I had flown in from Tucson (and was craving real Chicago pizza); I was picked up by Judy, and Deb and Joy met us there. 
I've been in contact with Judy all along.  Judy and I got together once with Deb a couple of years ago,
This was the first time in 40 years that we had all seen Joy.

I'm an absolute moron when it comes to posting pictures to web sites,
so I'm passing this on to you in the hope that you can do it for me.
 In the photo are:  Front row, left to right:  Deb Davies Johnston, Ellen Consdorf.
 Back row, left to right:  Joy Schaefer, Judy Sowa Straka.
Are we gorgeous, or what?????

Varsity Baseball Wins First Spirit Game
 Against Varsity Softball

Taking a break from the regular competition, the Hawks' baseball and softball teams competed against each other in a fun, school-spirited game of 14-inch mush softball.  The boys came out victorious, beating the girls 6-4.  A huge turnout of students, faculty, parents, and residents saw such antics as the boys rotating positions after each pitch, a "worm" race from first to second, and plays being made while eating pizza.  

 

Thank you to everyone who was involved in making the first spirit game a success.

Maine South Gets new Ball Field

 

The girls Varsity softball team got a new field this year. So in the spirit of competition we decided to have a game between the 2 varsity teams. We are thinking about using it as a Charity event for the community next year but we wanted to see how it was received. We made it a 14 inch mush softball game so that no one would get hurt. It turned into a softball game version of the Harlem Globetrotters. The antics put on by the baseball team made it a lot of fun. We had a professional announcer, Nick Mitrovich (I am not sure I spelled it right) but he is also a MS Alum. He had great jokes about the players and ran trivia contests during the game. Both foul lines were filled with lower level players, parents, coaches from other teams and people from the community. It truly was a sign for school school spirit. We hope to keep it going every year as an annual Event.

 Mike and I sat next to each other for four years in homeroom. I think it would be cool if other classmates know what he's been up to.
