I3 - -as ee-.cg PROVI -:- 193131: -cs 131 The Principal's Letter To the Seniors of 1931: It is four school years since we came to Proviso-you as first-year students and I as principal of the school. Four years seem to be a long time when we look ahead, but when we look back. does it not seem only a short time since you were freshmen? We took your pictures that year for identification on your permanent record cards in the ofiice. This year, on the same cards, we will place your senior pictures, taken from the senior section of a Provi. And if you want visible evidence of how you have grown and developed phys- ically-just .ask sometime to see the two pictures. The difference is fairly astounding. During the last two years that you have been in high school, what a great change has come over the building! From crowded, cramped quarters, we have branched out north across the bridges to a new and better building in which your class has found spacious home rooms, ample class rooms, and adequate locker accommodations. The beautiful Gothic tower and the clock have become symbols of the development of a new and finer Proviso from which your class is the first to graduate. Year by year, from your first semester through the eighth semester which you are now completing, your mental growth has kept pace with your physical growth, and credit after credit has been added to the office records, signifying the degree of your success in the class room. On an important evening in the first week of June, clad in cap and gown, you and I will have the pleasure and privilege of marching down the aisle in the auditorium, and climbing the steps to the platformg there, in the presence of parents and friends who have made your Proviso and my Proviso a reality, you will receive from the hands of the President of the Board of Education a diploma which will be another tangible evidence of your progress. But there is a growth which cannot be measured in credits or by diplomas- that intangible thing called cbararfvr, the development of which is the chief aim and object of all the teachers in all the schools in America. Character is molded and shaped on the football Held and in the class room, it is developed by contacts with teachers and students in every activity in which you have participated. It is my earnest hope that in your years in Proviso you have built up in your- selves from your contacts with students, teachers, and principal, a solid foundation of sterling character that will continue to grow as steadily and as surely as you have developed physically and mentally in the years that you have been in Proviso. Sincerely yours, Tzrellly-Jix
