??fFiPROVll 5:5 1l932ifl3 -V- Mr. Carr . i s Oakes Mr. Wvills Executive Staff Wu.LtAM COULTER Ross, principal of Pro- viso Township High School, received his A. B. in science, and his A. M. in history and social science from Augustana College. He holds the degree of doctor of jurispru- dence from Northwestern University, and was admitted to the bar of the State of Illi- nois by the Supreme Court on October 16, 1924-. He has been connected with the public schools of Illinois as teacher, business man- ager, or principal, for eighteen years, having spent the last Hve as principal of Proviso, H. E. CARR, who is dean of boys, has been a member of the Proviso faculty for thirteen years, serving for nine years as a manual arts instructor, and becoming dean in 1928. He received his B. S. degree from Ohio State University, and has done graduate work at the University of Chicago. Mr. Carr also assists with the enrollment of classes. He helped to organize the Sub- urban League Athletic Council in the spring of 1928, and is the Proviso representative in that organization. Miss ELIZABETH B. OAKES came to Proviso as dean of girls in 1928. She received her A. B. and A. M. degrees from the University of Michigan, and has done graduate work at Columbia University. Her main work in addition to that of dean of girls is in connec- tion with the Girls' League. She is also faculty supervisor of the Student Council and of the Monitor System. In connection with her work with Proviso girls, Miss Oakes is concerned with their scholarship, health, and personal needs. Be- cause of the attendance records which she keeps, she has much of the necessary informa- tion for this work-in fact, she is concerned with every studentls welfare. Ever since she has been at Proviso, she has manifested an interest in student activities. To aid in direct- ing the program of activities, the Point Sys- tem was installed last autumn, its purpose being to regulate the studentls program, to develop outside activities, and to curb over- zealous and over-ambitious pupils. Miss Oakes is building up a record of all clubs, otlicers, members, and constitutions of the various organizations since 1929. O. W. WILLS, business manager of Pro- viso, has a B. P . from Michigan State Normal College, a B. S. degree from the Uni- versity of Chicago, and has also done grad- uate work at that institution. Before becoming business manager, Mr. VVills was head of the commercial depart- ment. When a school grows very large, so great an amount of business is transacted daily that it becomes impossible for the prin- cipal to give as much attention to it as he should. The growth of the school from sev- eral hundred to approximately three thousand students necessitated creating this position to relieve the principal, whose full time is now given to the educational part of the work. Practically all of the large suburban schools have systems like the one inaugurated at Proviso three years ago. Mr. Wills is treasurer of all school organi- zations and classes. All ordering and pur- chasing are done through the business office. In connection with this oH'ice, a bookstore is operated in which books are sold to the students practically at cost. The cafeteria also does its ordering through the business ofiice. Q C31 Nineteen I l 1,
