New South School Colors
The colors red, black, and white have been chosen to represent Maine South's student body when the school opens next August. The school will go under the name of the Maine South Hawks.
Of the 66 students at West now affected by the boundary lines which would put them in South, approximately 26 have requested to remain at West for their senior year. The board ruled that those seniors might have a choice this year. They will, however, need to furnish their own transportation.
Mr. Clyde Watson, assistant principal at Maine East, was elected principal of Maine South by the Township High School Board of Education. Mr. Watson, 47, will receive a Ph. D. from Northwestern in June. He has been a member of the Maine East Township High School's professional staff since 1944. He advanced from a math teacher to Dean of Boys, and in 1960 was chosen assistant principal.
