Fulfillment, completion, and achievement bring about a sense of accomplishment which leads to pride. Perhaps you felt your first sense of accomplishment when you learned to tie your own shoelaces, to first ride your bike without training wheels, or when you received your first "A" in school. Everyone feels a sense of accomplishment at one time or another.

Physical achievements, as in sports, provide a sense of fulfillment stemming from rough workouts, tough competition, and long training. The defeat of the Hawks at the Maine South Homecoming by the Warriors 46‑9 resulted in a long‑awaited feeling of accomplishment. The girls' extramural teams had a very profitable year. They were allowed to compete with other schools in fencing for the first time and received the Central Suburban League championship in volleyball.

Dedication and hard work in academics usually result in accomplishments, such as scholarships, recognition, and admission into honorary societies. Recently Jill Alke '73, received a scholarship from the Academy of Fine Arts in Chicago amounting to a full year's tuition for her achievements in art. Other examples of accomplishments in academics are the 85 Maine West Seniors who were named Illinois State Scholars and the naming of Su Sciez as a National Merit Scholar.

Character, ability, leadership and service are other criteria for accomplishments, such as Brotherhood Society. Gail Nygaard '73 and Mark Eichorn '73 were honored by the DAR and SAR Good Citizen Awards. Douglas Meister '73, Ginger Reinhart '73, Curt Heinrich '73 and Sandy Hanus '73 were honored by Mr. Rider as Outstanding Teenagers of America.
