Typical Students Air Views

Twenty‑three years old, blond hair, and mysterious eyes describes this year's all‑school, all‑school girl, Myra Sneakfest. Her favorite expression is censored. She adores intelligent, tall, polite people. Unfortunately, she has been unable to locate any one lately with all three qualifications.

Her pet peeve is people who hog all the attentions of others. Her activities this year include being a Student Council representative, a member of the Pom Pom Squad, the Executive Board of GAA, Girls' Club, the Pep Club, Choraliers, M‑Club, Aquiana, the Legend staff, WMTH, Girls' Business Club, Future Teachers' Club, French Club, Pegasus Club, Theatre Club, Concert Orchestra, A Cappella Choir, and Class Council.

Other activities include being a hall receptionist, attendance office helper, a library helper, and a nurses' helper. In her spare time "Went," as her friends call her, sews, works in her church youth group, works after school, and dates that certain someone.

Myra says she is not sure what the most outstanding thing about Maine is since she hasn't stopped long enough to look around. When asked what she would, do to improve herself, she said, "I would develop some study habits."

"Went" has participated for four years in V‑show. This year she was on its staff. She has participated in all of West's musicals and was cast in this year's senior class play.

Her advice to fellow students is "Space your time; don't handle too much; what you do, do well."

"I hate, despise, and abhor all girls. I like to study and read so as to enrich my mind to its fullest capacity," confessed Louis Loveless on the steps of the local library.

This brown‑haired, black‑eyed "beaut" of the week has participated in absolutely no activities during his four fun‑filled years at Maine West. He pointed out, "I have all the time in the world, so I will be able to associate with members of the opposite sex later in my life; I'll take care of serious matters now."

Because of the unconventional replies, this reporter was led to ask the question, "Did you ever go on a date with a girl?"

"Yes, once, but that was a very traumatic experience. We went to the show, and this girl nearly attacked me. From that time on, I have hated women." He later revealed that "this girl" tried to sit next to him in the theatre.

Louis' interests outside of school include listening to the tapes of chess meets, interpretive dancing, and writing poetry besides babbling brooks. He does research on ancient Egyptian burial rites.

Louis, better known as "lipless," feels the best thing about Maine is the communication between students and the faculty.

His most interesting incident occurred last month when his attaché case flew open and hundreds of pictures of human forms came out. Everyone scrambled for them but soon lost interest since they turned out to be pictures of his mother.

Louis' advice to all students is to study and study at all times and never look at girls. Louis can be commonly heard saying, "All work and no play makes Louis a rich boy."
