It was this projed that sugge ed to the Provi Staff the motif of Vocations for its annual. The world of today is highly complex. Science has expanded indu rialism; educa- tion has broadened intelledual ftandards. The man of the present mu excel in his work, or fail. He muft have ma ered a specific vocation adequately if he is to fulfill his own possibilities and be of service to his generation. Vocational training is no longer a fad, but a necessity. Fundamental to achievement in numerous and various fields are the hands. The mo primitive of all man ' s helpers, they are ftill among the moft essential. The arti , the nurse, the laborer, the dodor, the housewife — the work of each depends largely upon the hand. Because they interlock with so many vocations, hands are being used as a correlated motif of the book. Here ' s our Provi for 1934; we hope you like it! filffil Cfreme . cjasoime ■ qean . t aJ eh .

My part in your achievement has been very small, but the men and women of our staff who have devoted their working hours and much of their leis- ure time to your development must feel great satis- faction in your achievements. Proviso will watch your steps with interest; the things you accomplish will reflect credit not only to yourselves and to your parents, but to the institution from which you are a graduate, as well. Proviso has meant a great deal to you; now as alumni you will mean much to Proviso. Your educa- tion has been obtained during an unusual period. This period has caused you to have other than nor- mal experiences, and, in many cases, heartaches; but since we should profit from our experiences, I trust that the adjustments you have found it necessary to make will prove beneficial to you. Your success in the future will be governed largely by your ability to adjust yourselves to new situa- tions, your ability to render service to your com- munity, and your willingness to do well the tasks you are called upon to perform. It is essential that you continue your education, whether it be upon some college campus, within the walls of your own home, or in some office or factory. One cannot remain at a standstill; one must either progress or regress. The progress made in industry, in transportation, and in the communication systems in the past fifty years is almost unbelievable; the progress which will be made in the next fifty years cannot be predicted. Many of you will play an important part in the future progress in all fields of endeavor. There is a wonderful opportunity before you. Graduation from high school is but a foundation. You should plan your lives so as to build upon this foundation. May success and happiness be yours throughout the years to come. Sincerely, Herman H. Eelkema Principal Leslie J. Sn John M. Ne Harry W. Ewe George Bosco C ke Jjoaw of C oucaiL The chief problem which confronted the board of education at the beginning of the school year was a financial one. The problem was solved through a process of refinancing, with the results that, by April 11, 1934: (1) all bonds in default had been refunded; (2) all past obligations had been paid; (3) teachers ' salaries had been paid each month; (4) all bills up to March 1 had been paid. A further problem had to do with the man- agement of the cafeteria, which had suffered losses in previous years. New management, fa- vorable purchasing, careful checking, and re- duced prices to the students, have resulted in profits. The inauguration of the Civil Works Admin- istration involved the board in another major problem: that of co-operating with the govern- ment. Of the projects undertaken two were completed: leveling and tiling the athletic field; painting the auditorium and the bleacher seats. The project of building a new stadium and run- ning track was transferred to the Illinois Emer- gency Relief Commission. The final project, that of educational service for adults, is func- tioning under an authorization to continue till May 31. How to reduce current expenses without curtailing educational facilities in the face of an increased enrollment, was also a problem. It was solved by managing so well that expenses were reduced by approximately $40,000, while acatwYL the standard of the school was kept high enough to win unqualified praise from state inspectors. In an effort to bring about greater solidarity and esprit de corps throughout school and community, the board eliminated the dual sys- tem of control, and placed the responsibility for both the business and the educational manage- ment under the jurisdiction of one executive, the principal. The results of the first year ' s ex- perience under this ruhng would seem to indi- cate its wisdom. John M. Newcomer, recently elected presi- dent, is now completing his second year on the Board of Education. He is a real estate broker in this community. Leslie J. Smith, of Forest Park, is serving his third term and his seventh consecutive year as secretary. Mr. Smith has been actively engaged in advertising and sales promotional work. Leslie B. Allen is filling his first term on the Board. He is assistant purchasing agent of the Richardson Company of Melrose Park. He at- tended Proviso High School. George Bosco is also serving his first term on the Board. He graduated from Proviso in 1913, and is a resident of Melrose Park. Harry W. Ewert was elected to the Board this spring. He has been a resident of Maywood for thirteen years, and for twenty years has been connected with the Chicago Board of Trade. ?age 1 8 Jrersonnei ADMINISTRATION Herman H.

Class Colors Magenta and Silver Page 56 (Being the History of the Class of 1934) Marian Backus At last, after eight years of adventuring in the dark city of Grade School, the Class of 1934 entered the magnificent Wonderland called Proviso High school. As the members of the Class approached this Wonderland, they saw a long, stately edifice, part of which was new and shiny (as was the Class), and scarcely used yet. Velvety green lawns dotted with the hanging fohage of shrubs and trees, towering majestic forests loommg in the background, a silent, silvery river, and clinging ivy twining itself against the bricks, bespoke a fairy ' s wand of enchantment. The Class was spellbound at the sight of these splendors. Timidly they worked their way within the portals of the land of their childhood dreams. Rousing music from a mighty organ summoned them into a great assembly hall, where at last the blood began to flow back into their veins, and their hearts beat normally. The great sovereign ruler, the White King, welcomed the band. He introduced the White Queen and the White Knight who were to befriend the lonely members of the Class. Soon the children were left to wander through the lengthy passage- ways alone. They peeked into the numerous apartments which they were to explore. There was the spacious hbrary surrounded with huge cases of venerable books; there were science laboratories with their array of mysterious apparatus; there were dark gloomy chambers which were still haunted by the spectres of Pythagoras and Archimedes, and similar ones where Caesar ' s ghost taunted struggling students. As these wonders were beheld, the undaunted band resolved that each chamber should be explored thoroughly, and that it would emerge victorious. But even in Wonderland, not all things are rosy. Obstacles were immediately thrown across the path. There was a great number of formidable looking creatures, the Faculty, who incited a tremulous fear in the hearts of the less sturdy members of the Class. There were supercilious Sophomores and jeering Juniors who eyed them contemptu- ously. The sight of the sophisticated Seniors inspired the Class to awe and reverence. It was necessary to organize in order to fend off attacks from those who would destroy the class honor and self-respect. Four leaders in the persons of Norman Kelly, Margaret Owens, Jack Drane, and Doris Lou Stotts were chosen. The band, encouraged by its leaders, fought valiantly to uphold its honorable name, and gain respect in the new land. Two new friends, of widely different character, were introduced. The first was a somber looking fellow, very serious minded, who, hke a shadow, followed everywhere. His name was Curriculum, and whe ther or not he was wanted, he still tagged along. The other, his brother, in fact, was a much more pleasant fellow and became most popular. He was Extra-Curriculum, who brought joy and laughter and good companionship wherever he went. He was seen in the social rooms, at teas, at dances, at all club meetings, on the athletic field, and at parties. These two friends remained steadfast to the Class throughout its entire travels through Wonderland. ■jilWF T H E C L A S S O F 1 9 3 4 Walter Pearson Mary Munn Hayes Dorothy Mahnke Kenneth McQueen Page 57 C nroucjk yjoonoerumo Many marvelous things were seen and heard that year. The auditorium was the scene of numerous memorable occasions. The divine music from the Aeolian harp of Signora Etta Bo thrilled her enraptured audience. The great Hotan Tonka interpreted the legends of the Indians in song and dance. Mysterious dark- skinned gypsies pitched their tents for the Girls ' League Gypsy Fair. Entertainment at the class party in the form of a play, Thanks, Awfully, gave promise that dramatic ability like unto that of a Barrymore or a Bernhardt was hovering within their numbers. Already some of them were gaining recognition; William Watters surpassed all others in athletics, and Gotty Martin won prestige as the Tom- Thumb cheerleader and the human dynamo. Others were receiving rewards for work well done, of scholarship seals and bronze medals. When, finally, the members of the Class reached a vast hall marked Vacation, they gladly set foot within, feeling intuitively that here were cool waters for fevered brows, quiet rest for wearied minds and bodies, and a cup of pleasure overflowing. The Class returned from Vacation-land eager to continue its explorations, and to view more of the marvels of Wonderland. Many secret closets that had been closed were now open to them as Sophomores. Sophomores! the very word sent an ecstatic sensation of pride through their beings. The feelings of elation were per- ceptible as the various members of the Class went about with their heads held in the air. Taller and taller they grew (in their own esti- mation), until suddenly they crashed against the roof! What exclamations of surprise! What confusion! What a hurry to concoct a remedy for this strange condition of the poor Sopho- mores! The astounding discovery was made that it had all been caused by something they had drunk — too much knowledge, or perhaps too little of it. At any rate, large portions of humble pie dished out by the Faculty quickly reduced the Class to its normal stature. A class meeting was called early in the year to elect four worthies, fearless and daring to assume the responsibility of guiding them over the pitfalls of Plane Geometry, Second-year Latin, and Sophomore English. Robert Whalen, Clarence Wilcox, Marian Backus, and Harvey Waters received the commission with due solemnity. Indeed, the Class was well in need of leaders, for the hazards all about them were multitu- dinous. Only the industrious could survive the demands set upon them. But on the whole, they were an assiduous group, and through painstaking efforts, a large number achieved places on the honor roll, many earned bronze medals, and a diligent few received medals of silver. Honor was bestowed upon the illustrious Class when the Fresh-Soph football team be- came Suburban champions with no defeats and without even being scored upon. Herman Salz- brenner now came into the athletic limelight. However, for every gain there is a loss; the Proviso heavyweight eleven succumbed to a defeat of 19-6 by visitors from Cedar Rapids. The stage door was now open to them, and forty of the Class were admitted into the Soph- omore Dramatic club. The year was a full one for theater-goers. The Juniors presented the delightful comedy, The Boomerang, and the Seniors, not to be surpassed, produced Nathan Hale, a marvelous historical play, rich in emo- tion, and with excellent interpretation by the actors. Drama and music were combined in Carrie Comes to College. Two assemblies were rocked with laughter by the English Cab- inet play, The King ' s English. Tiny people, only a few inches tall, acted upon Proviso ' s stage; The Legend of the Lightning, as per- formed by the Tatterman Marionettes, was one of the most delightful plays of the year. Even the Sophomores tried their hand at a stage pro- duction, the Sophomore Vaudeville show, a musical revue of home talent which brought forth loud praise and applause sweet to the ears of those who had worked for the success of the performance. Midst the colorful setting of an Indian happy hunting ground where the walls were covered with huge Navajo rugs and green willows made a bower across the old gym, the Class gathered to take part in the last wonder of the year, the Sophomore Prom. A bit of melancholy sadness crept in as they waltzed the last dance together, silently reminiscing over the sad times, the gay times, the discouraging times, and the play times of the past year; but the door to Vacation was opened before them, and they must enter. It may be true that Life Begins at Forty, but for the student in high school, life begins when one ' s a Junior. With renewed vigor, the irouf Class resumed its labors where it had left them. Gone were the foolish fears of the Freshie; gone the self-conscious air of the Sophomore. Great as had been the accomplishments of these two years, and many the adversaries overcome, there were still almost inaccessible heights to be at- tained. The election of the class officers took place m early autumn. Smith, Kelly, Backus, and Waters humbly received notice of their eleva- tion, and took oath to the fact that they would serve to the best of their abihties. The Class then turned its attention to sports. Six thousand witnesses cheered lustilv at the At- lanta, Georgia, football game. Sky-rockets and series proved of httle avail when it came to chalking the scores on the home side, for the handsome Southerners were victors by a score of 13-6. At the dance in the evening in honor of the out-of-town guests, one fair dam- sel vied with another for the coveted position of being escorted by one of those he-men Georgians. All was quiet on the eastern front when the local gridiron-gladiators swept their age-old rivals. Oak Park, off their feet by a score of 19-7. For five long years such a thing had no: occurred. Long and vociferous was the exulta- tion. Pearson, Walters, and Mizen were lifted to a pinnacle of honor. The lure of the stage, ever a temptation to certain members of the Class, drew them away from commonplace realities to the land of Let ' s pretend. How passionately did some hope to gain entrance to the exclusive Proviso Players. Only twenty-five had their cherished hopes come true. But other opportunities were given for self-expression and dramatic inter- pretation when try-outs for the Junior play were held. A auick-witted, rapidly-moving comedy, Mrs. Bumpstead-Leigh, was pre- sented, with Betty Lee Robertson capably play- ing the title role. ' Op o ' My Thumb and the operetta O Doctor were other highlights of the drama and music season. Fielen Steffen- hagen gained prominence as the outstanding soprano soloist with her leading part in the operetta. Music filled the air when many bands of great renown assembled in the huge auditorium to strive for greater fame and honor. The xlliroaqli }YonoerLano Blue-and-Whites emerged from the competition with a superior rating which carried them to the State contest at Urbana to prove their abil- ity to others. Carlton Rieck, with his saxo- phone, and Henry Jackson, with his cornet, rose to fame in this contest. The outside world also heard of the Wonderland through the formation of the In-and-About Chicago chorus. No longer were the Faculty austere and un- approachable; now they were most highly es- teemed and beloved. Curriculum began to broaden himself, and became most interesting so far as Public Speaking, Dramatics, and Jour- nalism were concerned; but if he were encoun- tered in Physics, Chemistry, or Advanced Al- gebra, he was a trial to the more forbearing. However, to those who did not lose patience or abandon him, he gave handsome rewards of bronze, silver, and gold. A select seven were admitted into the sacred realms of the Proviso Chapter of the National Honor Society of Sec- ondary Schools. Charlotte Andermann, Delia Boeger, Dorothy Mahnke, Evelyn Meggelin, Marian Backus, Norman Kelly, and William Rence were formally consecrated by the induc- tion ritual. Warm breezes of spring, the robins ' return, and tulips awakening from a long winter ' s sleep, were harbingers that the Junior year neared its finale. In return for the jolly Senior Mixer, the Juniors invited the Seniors to an in- formal Prom in keeping with the current eco- nomic conditio as. Despite Old Man Depres- sion, merriment and gaiety held sway. When the members of the Class returned to Wonderland, they were ushered by a new White King into a beautiful enchanted garden, their Senior year. Grandeurs of surpassing loveliness awaited them. The keys to all the guarded doorways of Wonderland were now theirs. Everything was open to them. Two kings and queens were elected to reign over the magic gar- den, and an impressive ceremony was held in order to confer the crowning glory upon Walter Pearson, Mary Munn Hayes, Dorothy Mahnke, and Kenneth McQueen. A bus load of rooters accompanied the foot- ball boys down south to the Atlanta game. Less fortunate, but no less ardent, fans followed the game play by play as the Grid-Graph brought it before their wondering eyes. Despite the Page 59 AnmKrT«mmmii:iKisi iwt-Ym m ' ' .imf ' Ki irouq hard fighting of the home team, the tail end of a 13-6 score was regretfully acknowledged as their own, at the close of the game. A special task was apportioned the Seniors, that of writing vocational essays. Many, for the first time, thought seriously of their future occupation. Curriculum was still a difficult per- son to handle. His friend, Examinations, also confronted the students, often with extremely impertinent (and impossible) questions. But the Class as a whole had not lost its enthusiasm, and upon becoming bosom pals with Scholar- ship, Leadership, Service, and Good Character, seventy-four were deemed worthy of member- ship in the National Honor Society. Ben Shein carried off second place honors in the divisional oratorical contest. Geraldine Woolever, always cheerful, always helpful, became chief of all as- piring journalists by being elected editor-in- chief of the great Provi of 1934. Another of the band had won similar prestige by becoming editor of the weekly school newspaper. Heavy were the tasks thus laid upon the shoulders of Wallace Bruce. Histrionic ability was amply displayed in the English Cabinet play, The Importance of Be- ing Earnest, and in the Class play, The Mean- est Man in the World, whose characters were real people who lived, laughed, loved, and suf- fered, and kept the audience with them. Such a delightful comedy had seldom visited within the walls of Proviso. Here, within the Garden, the whirl of social activities centered. A Christmas party was held under a cool blue sky flecked by snowy white clouds and silvery stars. A forest of lighted Christmas trees surrounded the gym where the party was held; soft music breathed joy and happiness into the hearts of the dancers, and the arrival of jolly old St. Nick awakened the yule-tide spirit within their souls. Later, a colossal event took place. Shattering all bonds of tradition, the annual formal Prom was held, not in the school gym, but at the Oak Park Club! What dignified airs were affected by the socially correct young gentlemen! What cour- tesy, what finesse, what elegant manners! Maidens, exquisitely gowned and radiantly hap- py, demurely and graciously accepted the at- , tention of their admiring suitors. Happiness i sa was king that evening. Approaching slowly but surely were the last C krouqk jYoYioeYiaYLa few days of the sojourn of the Class of ' 34 in Wonderland. Seniors were led, willingly or un- willingly, into a mysterious frame house, where, one by one, they were forced to sit in a dark room with brilhant spot lights shining upon them. The girls went into semi-mourning about this time. Black with a wee touch of white be- came the vogue. Sadly angelic they looked in these garments, but the class photographs were finally finished. Then was heard the loud tramping of marching feet — Senior feet — prac- ticing for the final processional. When at last the rehearsing was over, the sponsors proclaimed each member of the Class capable of marching alone to receive his reward, the Diploma. At last the goodly Class of 1934 stood upon the summit of accomplishment; all Wonderland had been explored and conquered. Its members were free to continue their ways alone, unham- pered by Timidity, Fear, or Curriculum. Yet not without sorrow and regret did they think of leaving. Life had been very beautiful within the secluded walls of the beloved school build- ing; now they must move on. Life in Wonder- land was completed; the dream had been ful- filled; only cherished memories and the visions they had gained there, remained. C Jnom ' uKj J oij John Baumgart When evening shadows fall and all is still, And day ' s faint glotf has left the western sky, When soaring birds have left the heights on high And turned their course to home beyond the hill, A sense of loneliness which seems to fill My being falls around me. And I sigh That day is passed, and shadoivs have drawn nigh To plunge the ivorld in darkness. Yet I thrill To know that morning surely will reveal That blessed light which giveth life to all; I anxiously wait for morning rays to steal Across the eastern sky, before they fall In glorious streams to tell to every man The joyous tidings, It is day again.

Seventy-four seniors, the largest number of students ever to be elected into the Proviso Chapter of the society, were chosen by the faculty this year. This was the second time in the history of Proviso that the full quota of fifteen per cent of the senior class was elected. To be eligible to membership, students must be in the upper third of their class scholastically. Character, service, and leadership are the qual- ities upon which members of the faculty base their vote. Seven members of the Class of 1934 received this honor in their junior year. They were Charlotte Andermann, Marian Backus, Delia Boeger, Norman Kelly, Dorothy Mahnke, Evelyn Meggelin, and William Rence. After the honored students received their formal notice of election into the Proviso Chap- ter of the society, they met after school and listened to inspiring talks by Principal H. H. Eelkema and Miss Florence I. Otis, who has been connected with National Honor Society work ever since it has been initiated into Proviso. This year, the induction ceremony was held after school on Wednesday, April 18, in order that parents and students who wished to do so might attend. At that time, the students re- ceived their pins and fobs, which are given them by the Parent-Teacher association. The Na- tional Honor Society committee, consisting of Miss Alice Hahn, Miss Florence L Otis, and Miss Eileen White, had charge of the arrange- ments for the induction ceremony. In May, ten juniors were elected: Shirley Fine, Keawana Carman, Rex Horton, Donald Leal, Hilda Mahnke, Georgine Reay, Florence Rittmueller, Erna Schroeder, Aaron Spolin, and Muriel Weber.

Down the corridor outside of the auditorium, lads and lassies can be heard vocalizing during almost any period of the day. Sometimes the numbers do not sound musical — but then, that ' s why they ' re rehearsing! The first step of the inspired singer is into the junior chorus; ad- vancement brings the singer to the senior chorus; excellent work offers the reward of membership in the choir — the height of the vocal division of Proviso ' s music department. Under the able direction of R. Lee Osburn, head of this department, music-minded stu- dents are taught the fine points of correct sing- ing and interpretation of much lovely music. The past year has been most successful for the choir. Starting with informal programs at various churches in the community, these happy choristers soon gained the approval of many music-lovers. The annual Christmas concert, presented December 2 1 , was the first concert of the year. The chorus of three hundred voices, composed of the choir and selected singers from the junior and senior choruses, brought the hoh- day spirit in with familiar chorales and carols loved by all. Back from the Christmas holiday vacation, the students turned to their music with renewed inspiration. The organization of the 1934 In- and-About Chicago High School chorus, un- der the direction of Mr. Osburn, was the next event at hand. Sixty-six members of the choir were the fortunate ones to represent Proviso. On Wednesday evening, April 11, this chorus of six hundred and seventy voices presented a concert before the National Music Supervisors ' conference at the Auditorium theater in Chi- cago. By popular request, the concert was pre- sented again for the parents and friends of the singers, at J. Sterling Morton High school on Sunday afternoon, April 22. fr Page 75 vmm ' mma itr Wi Flute— K. Burhi.p. O Kennct Clarinets. Carter, R. Cum D. Palgpwski. R. Koschmann, F. Shea. Bass Clarinet— C.

Irving Tallmadge, made its annual debut at the football games last October, when 132 newly uniformed players maneuvered on the field. The band was also a figure of attraction when it paraded down the Avenue of Flags at A Cen- tury of Progress exposition on Forest Park day, last September. For many years, Proviso ' s band has placed in the Northeastern District Band contest. This year proved to be no exception, as the band, nine soloists, and five ensembles boldly walked off from the contest, having merited positions in first place. The brass sextet from the band has been ac- corded many honors during the year. In Janu- ary, it was invited to play at Urbana before the National School Band association; on Easter Sunday morning, it presented an Easter pro- gram over WENR; and it competed in a brass sextet contest, directed by Mr. Tallmadge, at the National Music Supervisors ' conference. The sextet includes Henry Jackson, Carl Karl- son, Chester Brosseit, Louis Marchi, Anthony Virzi, and Charles Camp. Brass Sextet — H. Jackson, C. Karlson, L. Marchi, A. Virzi, C. Brosseit. C. Camp. The Spring concert on Thursday evening, April 5, marked the last major concert of the band for the year. This was a delightful occa- sion for which many alumni band members re- turned to play with the band. The feature of the concert was Frontier, an original com- position by Mr. Tallmadge. At the State contest at Urbana, April 27, Henry Jackson, cornet; Carlton Rieck, saxo- phone; May Clement, pianist; and the flute quartet — Charlotte Skopnik, Ruth Burhop, Dorothy Carver, and Paul Schnake — won the right to participate in the National contest to be held May 29. Anthony Virzi, French horn; Harriet Shilkaitis, marimba; and William Weichlein, bassoon, were also ranked in the first division. The officers of the band for the past year were: commanding officer — Henry Jackson; captain.s — William Weichlein, Louis Marchi, Ray Lee, Russell Currie, and Harriet Shilkaitis.

McElroy, After going on in its quiet, dignified way for many years, Proviso ' s orchestra proudly came home from the National Orchestra contest last spring, having placed in Group Two. Inspired by this and its leader, Wallace Nelson, the or- chestra started out this year to reach and even surpass the mark it set for itself last year. Throughout the year, the orchestra has played at assemblies and programs presented in the auditorium. Many lovers of good music at- tended the two popular concerts given by the orchestra on Thursday, November 23, and Wednesday, January 24. The orchestra presented a lovely program at the annual Christmas concert on Thursday eve- ning, December 21, and at the Spring concert on May 18. Ten members of the orchestra were selected to play with the In-and-About Chicago High School orchestra of two hundred fifty players. This orchestra was under the direction of William D. ReveUi, director of music in Hobart, Indiana, and played at the concerts with the In-and-About Chicago High School chorus on Wednesday evening, April 11, in the Auditorium theater, and Sunday afternoon, April 22, at J. Sterling Morton High school. The average membership of the orchestra is eighty. The instrumentation is equal to that of a regular symphony. A new feature has been added to the organization this year: Dorothea Huxhold, ' 3 5, is accompanying the orchestra with a harp. A string octette from the orchestra has won the approbation of many persons in the com- munity. It has been in popular demand to play at various surrounding schools and churches during the past year. It is composed of: Rosa Lee Osburn, piano; Melvin Korrell and Jeanne Nottingham, first violin; Keawana Carman and Edna Kingdon, second violin; Charlotte OUe- mann, viola; Ethel Kingdon, cello; and Donald Kane, string bass. On May 4 and 5, the orchestra went to Joliet to meet orchestras from competing high schools in the State High School Orchestra contest. SIrino Octette — R. L. Osburn, M. Korrell, J. Nottingham. C.

One of the first tasks of the League representatives was to collect dues and deposit them with the treasurer. With this money it was possible to give the series of after- noon teas which so many girls clamored to at- tend. Two special teas return to one ' s memory. One could never forget Miss Susan Mendenhall, that delightful story-teller, nor the afternoon spent learning the care of the skin and the proper use of cosmetics as Miss Irene McKnight advised it. The smiles of happiness on the faces of the dear old men and ladies of the Baptist Old People ' s home were ample gratification to their pals for any little kindness they might have shown them during Sunshine Pal week. The entire community turned rural, and many farmers and farmerettes were seen roam- ing the gayly decorated halls at the Calico fair. Because of the excellent co-operation of faculty and student body, the League was able to put four hundred and fifty dollars into the Girls ' scholarship fund, two hundred dollars more than had ever been made before. Dolls and scrapbooks brought Christmas cheer to the sick little girls and boys in the County hospital, and hearts of satisfaction to those who had made these things possible. Junior Pal week, as always, was a week of deep secrecy and mystery, climaxed by a joyous party where pal met pal. An innovation in the activities of the League, which may become a tradition, was the Senior The Children ' i Hospital Paying Dues Sunshine Pals Junior Pal Week Marian Backus Charlotte Andermann Page 78 IIII IHI II I IH WWI I I B HIHIIHI1 i|i| m il II lllllilllllill lllliiliMI SmialiailoYi Service Top RozD—W Whitcombe A Voigt H Burnett H Timmons M F Carwile D Maiwui Taylor, G Wolk N Davies D Taggart N Statkus N La Spiba F Young N Reich Turhett Seccmd Rmti— M Cook L Tcchke A Bulk M Kadish A Gustafson S G Swangren, M.

Another accomplishment was the formation of the League honor system which is to stimulate the interest of underclass girls in school activ- ities and in the work of the League. Flowers — the strains of Estrellita — an awed silence — girls in white — hearts throbbing — tears — beauty — that is the Girls ' League in- stallation! Thus a happy and eventful year was ushered to a close by the beautiful spring in- stallation service with its garden of flowers symbolizing the ideals which the Girls ' League of Proviso strives to achieve. The League at- tempts to stimulate in each girl the desire to round out her life until she is a four-fold girl — developed physically, mentally, socially, and spiritually. The daisy, growing free and unrestrained in the meadows, represents physical growth. The pert littly pansy symbolizes the intellectual life, as girls are encouraged to train their minds and learn the art of thinking. The beautiful and beloved rose is cherished by all, and in the gar- den of Proviso ' s Girls ' League, represents those queenly social graces which every girl strives to possess. Surmounting all these is the pure white lily, the symbol of the spirit. Inspira- tion, through conferences and special speakers, is offered the girls who would attain the highest spiritual heights and answer the divine call of their inner best selves. The highlight of the entire year was the adoption and presentation of the official Girls ' League song, written for the League by Miss Florence L Otis, who also wrote the installation service. The words of this song fittingly de- scribe the work and ideals of the League, while the music, too, seems to belong just to the League. We, the Girls ' League of Proviso, Gather for work and for play, Ready for fun and for service, Lending a hand where we may; Whether as Pals or Big Sisters, Striving to do well our part, Holding aloft high ideals. Working with hand, head, and heart. Daisies for strength and for courage, Pansies for thoughts kind and true, Roses for charm and for sweetness. Lilies for purity too: These are the flow ' rs in our Garden, Symbols of blessings four-fold; Warmed by the sunlight of friendship. Daily their beauties unfold. -te Page 79 mMmmmmimimmmmtsiJiU ' Amm Senior Ulass 1 laij The Meanest Man in the World, a delight- ful comedy by Augustin MacHugh, was pre- sented as the annual senior class play, Friday and Saturday evenings, April 27 and 28. Miss Mar- guerite Garlough, of the English department, directed it. The plot of this play is woven about Rich- ard Clarke, a young New York attorney. Clarke has been too sympathetic with his clients to suc- ceed; his telephone has been disconnected; his assistant and secretary are unpaid; and he is about to be put out of his office. He pretends before his mother and sister that such million- aires as John D. Rockefeller and Marshall Field are clamoring for his services. His friends, how- ever, are undeceived. His old college chum, Carlton Childs, offers him a job of collecting $8 5 from J. Hudson and Company in a small Pennsylvania town. Clarke is advised by his friend to be a calloused business man. He sets out to be the meanest man in the world, but when he discovers that J. Hudson and Company is really Jane Hudson, a pretty girl, his plans are altered. How he changes Hudsonville from a bum town to a boom town is the main argument of the play. The three shifts in scen- ery added to the charm of the presentation. Some of the parts were a double cast because of the two nights ' performance. The cast was as follows: Bart Nash WiUiam Dillon Kitty Crockett Joyce Heilemann, Stella Slabis Richard Clarke William Rodger Ned Stevens Charles Beck, James McGrath Mrs. Clarke Helen Christiansen, Bonniebel Davis Frederick Leggitt Evan Gauthier Nellie Clarke Kathryn Riechers, Elizabeth Riendeau Henry Billings Harold Boesenberg, Campbell MacPhail Carlton Childs George Stewart Michael O ' Brien Louis Castle Jane Hudson Marian Backus, Rosa Lee Osburn Hiram Leeds Alfred Glaess Franklyn Fielding Warren Kirwan, Louis Marchi The understudies were: Edmund Volkmann, Albert Pritikin, Ben Shein, and Campbell Mac- Phail. Anthony San Filippo was the chauffeur, and John Kracalik, the off-stage voice. Those in the pantomime were Ray Jensen, Louis Nel- son, Francis Shea, Ruth Kilbey, Lucille Jeschke, Elizabeth Schramm, Helen Pierce, Mary Helen Hall, Virginia Vale, Estelle Braun, and Audrey Pollitz. Hazel Belleau was bookholder. Vage SO Sopkomore Jjramailc reskman JJramaiic Ulub Top Rozt ' —A. Vanek. G. Simonov, H. Witort. J. Lueck. E. Lawson, M. Colman, M. J. Heegan. L. Pollitz, G. Eskerson.

The dramatis personae of the Sophomore Dramatic club became, under the guidance of Miss Cleora Fancher, skillful in portraying the parts of unreal or human characters out of the book of life. To develop a more general interest in histrionic activities throughout the freshman and sophomore classes of Proviso, this organiza- tion is established. Many plays, some of them light, some amus- ing, some sad, were given throughout the year at the various meetings. The Beau of Bath, Ashes of Roses, A Pair of Lunatics, The House Across the Way, The Ghost of a Freshman, The Professor of Love, and So You ' re Going to Paris, were some of the plays given. At a sophomore assembly, the club spon- sored a stunt. During the year, a book on dramatics was presented to the library. Later, one of the meetings was devoted to discussing book reviews. Freshmen who have the ability to act are ad- mitted into this Freshman Dramatic club and receive a chance to display their individual tal- ent before audiences. Experience in directmg plays, as well as in acting, is part of the training. Costuming and stage-setting are planned and worked out by the members, and they have the pleasure of seeing the results of their labor when the plays are produced. By a study of goo d plays, an appreciation of them is developed and stimulated in the mem- bers. Presentation of plays forms the basis for the experience of gaining the air of savoir faire necessary for successful portrayals of characters. Dramatic achievements and various skits are presented at the meetings of the club. At a freshman assembly on March 2, a play, The Initiation, was given.

Several plays were presented before the pub- lic. The club was highly honored by the invita- tion to give The Sing-A-Song Man in the Children ' s theater on the Enchanted Island at the World ' s Fair early in the year. The play was successfully presented under the direction of Miss Cleora Fancher. The play, Pearls, by Dan Totheroh earned more money at the Calico Fair than any other concession, which speaks well for the acting ability of these young dramatists. Rosa Lee Osburn coached the play. A very excellent production of Paul Greene ' s American folk play, The Last of the Lowries, was given before the Forest Park Women ' s club in March. Miss Cecil Stark, club sponsor, was director. The characterization by the actors was superbly done. These native Thespians presented many other interesting plays for their own entertainment In their meetings. A delightful little play, The Transatlantic Cable, by Cornelia Otis Skinner, was one of the first presented. Booth Tarking- ton ' s Trysting Place was one of the popular comedies of the season. Dust of the Road, a beautiful symbolic Christmas play, and The Man on the Kerb were two dramas which can- not be forgotten. A hilarious comedy, The Wedding, by John Kirkpatrick, and The Bad Penny, by Rachel Field, were other dramatic ventures. Several members were given the opportunity to learn the art of stage make-up, for the club purchased a make-up box which greatly added to the creation of illusion and atmosphere in the plays. A jolly Christmas gathering and a gay spring party were the two social functions which were enjoyed by the fifty members of the club. Miss Cecil Stark sponsors the organization. Pfl.ee 82 [ ' T nni tvltMjbU.IJltlMaimm B This worthy organization owes its existence to the necessity for keeping a slight degree of silence and order in the Library. Those cute little boys who push carts, loaded with books and endowed with squeaky wheels, up and down the aisles, are commonly known as pages, and their main worry is to keep the material in the Library so arranged that unfortunate history and English students can find the refer- ence which they are half-heartedly looking for. If a census were taken of the reasons for which the majority of Provisoites come to the Library, it would be found that their burning desire in so doing is to meet some one, to gaze at this and that, or to escape from their study halls. Of course some actually do come to use the books for something besides screens. Part of the Library ' s yearly program is Book week, during which time many devices such as posters and displays are used to call one ' s atten- tion to what a student should and would like to read. A box is also placed at an advantage- ous spot to collect stray and homesick books. It will be noted from the picture that the Library is very nice to look at, especially the tapestry at the eastern end, or the bust of Lindbergh; hence the beatific expressions of those who are so fortunate as to gain admittance to this sanc- tuary. In the absence of Miss Frances Hammitt, who unfortunately was ill for the greater part of the year. Miss Fina Ott has capably occupied the position of acting librarian with John Carter as assistant. Library president, Frank Smigelski, aided and abetted by Messrs. Ray Duschesneau, secretary and treasurer, and Kenneth McQueen, vice-president, undertook the task of supervis- ing student duties in the Library. Toly ifoit -S. Troike. B. Keck. H. Witort, M.

Read Your Own. These two slogans have become famiHar to all Proviso this year, as the school newspaper has made its weekly appearance — well, not quite weekly: thirty issues (if the last one doesn ' t fail us!) But thirty are a lot more than the puny nine issued the previous year, w hen the Depres- sion governed our every action. To be sure, the paper shrank in size from six columns to five, but those five fairly burst with news and enter- tainment. The first semester, the staff consisted of seniors save for one lone junior, Rex Horton; the second semester, about half the members decided that their happiness depended upon working on the Provi, so they withdrew from the Pageant staff, and their places were filled — more or less — by juniors who had completed the semester ' s course in journalism. The business staff also was reorganized for the second semes- ter, and juniors and even a sophomore or two have been in training for the work of next year. Last May, the Medill School of Journalism held the first of a series of conferences for high school journalists. Two seniors, Joe Schaefer, the editor-in-chief, and Steve Patchell, and two juniors, Margaret Newbauer and Marian Backus, represented Proviso. It was matter for congratulation when Marian took first place in the editorial contest, and won a gold emblem signifying that fact. A second contest was held this May; Wallace Bruce, editor-in-chief, Dor- othy Neal, business manager, and two members of the journalism classes, Lucille Marcus and Milton Ratner, acted as official representatives; several others attended unofficially. Last fall, the National Scholastic Press asso- ciation, of which Proviso is a charter member, held it5 annual convention in Chicago. Several members of the Pageant staff attended the meet- ings, and talent from Proviso supplied the floor show in connection with the banquet held in the Morrison hotel as climax to the convention. The Pageant is a member of the Greater Chi- cago Scholastic Press Guild, which meets month- ly in Wieboldt hall on McKinlock campus in Chicago. It is also a member of the Illinois State High School Press association, and of the National Scholastic Press association. The Pageant looks forward hopefully to the time when it may expand the size of its issues to six or eight pages in order more nearly to meet the demands of an institution the size of Proviso. Meanwhile it carries on to the best of its ability. Acknowledgment is hereby made of the serv- ices of Mr. Wilson A. Law, who has served as cashier, and Mr. Paul Street, who has helped the advertising staff. Miss Florence I. Otis has been general supervisor.

With a desire to lend a helping hand to sup- port the band in all its projects, parents and friends of the band members organized the Band Parents ' association a year ago last March. Besides working to sell tickets for the concerts presented by the band, the parents, combined with the band, ran a movie benefit and a card- bunco party and dance with great success. In this manner, enough money was raised to defray most of the debt. The money spent for uniforms and instruments, totaled close to $5,000. Out of this amount, only $800 remains due. The parents have endeavored to obtain men in the field of music to speak at their meetings. Harold Bachman, director of the Bachman Mil- lion Dollar band, was among the speakers. The officers for the past year were: Archie Carrie, president; James H. Lee, vice-president; Mrs. Frank H. Weichlein, secretary; Henry Jackson, Sr., treasurer. The Proviso P.-T. A. is a volunteer organiza- tion — democratic in objects, membership, and form of government — non-political, non-sec- tional, and non-commercial. There are five meetings during the year arranged so as to fol- low each grading period. Music is furnished for these occasions by the high school orchestra, band, or choir. Refresh- ments are served to promote a neighborly con- tact between fellow parents and teachers. The outstanding work of the Parent-Teacher association this year has been in the field of charity. A program of plays was put on in the auditorium as one of the devices to raise money for the needy student fund. This fund allows many deserving students to attend school who otherwise would be unable to do so. There were three plays: one by the students, one by the faculty, and one by the P.-T. A. The audience greatly enjoyed these one-act plays and the fund was aided by the many coins received. Page 85 Cyke Sluoeni ( ouncLL Tof ifo-c— Arthur Edwards, J. Lueck. R. Horton, C Fourth Ro-M—n.

Wi At the beginning of the year, representatives were elected by popular vote in every home room. These delegates then assembled in what is known as the Student Council. In order to hold this office, a student must maintain an average of three or better and possess the qual- ities of initiative, dependability, and forceful- ness. He must also be popular with his class- mates, or he would not be elected by them in the first place. This august body, under the hand of Miss Elizabeth B. Oakes, dean of girls, attempts to co-operate with the faculty and executive forces in matters of school govern- ment. The aim in so doing is to impart a certain measure of self-government to the student body through the medium of their representatives in the council. This year, as has been customary for many years, the Student Council undertook the dis- tribution of Thanksgiving baskets to needy families reported within the limits of Proviso township. Each home room makes up a basket of tempting as well as practical edibles, while H. Pildes, S. Rapoport, P, Mosi some larger groups fill two or three baskets and decorate them w ith tissue paper and figures colored to suit the season. Students who are able to lay their hands on cars are only too glad to lose a couple of periods of school time in the delivery of the baskets. Another of the council ' s pet worries is the point system of student participation in extra- curricular activities. The purpose of the system is to encourage pupils who are inclined to be reticent to enter into the doings of various clubs, and on the other hand to curb the socially over-ambitious from gathering too much of the lime-light. Last July, three members of the Student Council went as Proviso ' s delegates to the third annual convention of the National Association of Student Government Officers held in Chi- cago, for the purpose of investigating and com- paring student government organizations in other schools with a view towards bettering Proviso ' s council.

We find that a new but powerful organiza- tion has come into being this year from out of the ranks of the senior class. The Senior Senate, composed of the class officers and other mem- bers elected by the class, controls the strings which make the class move along its path, for all financial matters are handled by this body and all topics brought before the meetings of the senior class as a whole are originated during private sessions with the able assistance of Mr. Stubbs. Committees composed of members of the Senate were chosen to arrange the details of the senior parties and to co-operate on the Junior-Senior Prom. Among major worries, the raising of money for the stadium fund bulked large this year. This was accomplished by means of a successful tag day and by basketball games between the seniors and juniors, and the juniors and P. G. ' s, for which performances, many dimes were cor- ralled for the fund. This year the freshman class included an unusually large number of excellent students. Twenty-eight members received four scholar- ship seals for the first semester, which repre- sent a perfect record, and set a new high-water mark in the number to obtain this honor. At a special assembly, Principal H. H. Eel- kema delivered an inspirational address to the freshman class. Miss Julia Evans, who is m charge of scholarship awards, explained the sys- tem of seals and medals, which is unique to Proviso. She also outlined the requirements necessary for admittance into the Proviso Chap- ter of the National Honor Society of Secondary Schools. Mr. Eelkema expressed his desire to see the standards of Proviso progress during the four years ' stay of the Class of ' 3 8. Henry Bill, class president, then welcomed the February freshmen to the ranks of the class. The name of June Radtke was not reported among the honor students until it was too late for her to appear in the picture. ♦ Page 87  i u i ,ii uii MMMng aM i iuL iiimi mMWBfjiHMiiin !iMmwmm awi ' i!i-i '  wW ' iiinimiFnB Senior jtome Oconomtcs ULul? iG ' roup mM K rrett.

Old clothes were made to look like new by remodeling, relining, and general mending, and elegant new ones were made for the welfare project which was the main feature of the club for the year. Kathryn Riechers and Lillian Stebel were the chairmen in charge of the wel- fare work. A talk, Getting Along with Other People, was given by Ruth Winter, a former president, at an early meeting. During the summer, Hilda Mahnke and Delia Boeger attended a conven- tion of the American Home Economics associa- tion in Milwaukee, Wis. A report of the con- vention was given by them for the benefit of the other members. The February meeting took the form of a Valentine party. At another meeting, the play, Invited Out, was given. Etiquette pantomimes, from which the girls gained new ideas regarding conduct, were the feature of another meeting. At the memorable Calico Fair, the members could be found in the cabaret, serving the refreshments that were for sale. A good deal of exploring and seeking was done when the members took a trip on Satur- day, April 7, to Marshall Field and Company and found out how this economic organization functions. At a later date, a trip through the Bowman Dairy company was enjoyed and the members sought the explanation of how a milk dairy operates.

Scientists of the Senior Science club sur- prised every one, including themselves, by ac- tually enjoying themselves in the pursuit of that demon, knowledge. They also enjoyed themselves in a different manner at the matinee dance which the club sponsored, and at their own Christmas party. In quest of knowledge in all phases of science, the club inspected many new ideas in lighting and light combinations at the Lighting Institute in the Chicago Civic Opera building. Still im- pelled by their burning desire to see what makes things go, the scientists traveled to the Chicago lair of the NBC, where they stalked a radio studio, which is actually suspended within an- other chamber to minimize vibration. They learned that this is designed for television use. The wonders of the radium ray projector and other apparatus, as well as the use of radium in the curing of diseases, enthralled them during their visit to the radium department of the Ed- ward Hines, Jr. hospital. What to do? This problem is solved for girls who join the Junior Home Economics club and find out how to make wise use of their leisure time. Just what is the right dash of nutmeg, whether a bizarre dress is appropriate for school wear, what is a good meal for baby brother, and what is the most attractive place to set the living-room lamp, are some highlights of the discussions presented before the freshman and sophomore girls belonging to this club. A jolly get-acquainted party was held in November. Another of the smart social func- tions of the year was the Martha Washington tea at which the mothers of members were guests. At a joint meeting of the Senior and Junior Home Economics clubs on March 6, the program consisted of the study of the contents of various cosmetics. An unusual and gay spring party at the end of the year closed the season. The girls in this club know how to make happy homes. M Pa ge 89 Top Row G. Lietz, M. Kiester, H. White, E. Lenaker, G.

When he resigned in the middle of the year, Sponsor Davis passed the baton to Sponsor Moelk, and it was this gentleman ' s endeavor to carry on, which made the second semester as successful as the first, both in the fulfillment of the club ' s purpose and in entertainment. In spite of the fact that they had changed captains in the middle of the stream, the junior youths enjoyed a truly remarkable season. The marvels of the tower radio room served as a center of attraction for one meeting, and Mr. Bolt amused the assemblage with a chalk talk at another get-together. Judge Moelk pre- sided over a mock trial on still another occasion, lending all of the dignity of his high office to the atmosphere of the court room. It was noted that the spectators conducted themselves in a very courtly manner, and very few actually passed out from an excess of hilarity. Pop Winchell of the Y. M. C. A. addressed the lads on the subject of the Older Boys ' Confer- ence. This year a curious phenomenon took place. Where there was but one Junior Hi-Y, there became two sections, for Dewey Adair led a rival, yet co-operating, faction from the swollen ranks of the first division to form a new bat- talion. This club operated as an entirely dif- ferent organization, but sometimes held joint meetings with the original section. Both parties strove toward high ideals of youth and clean living. A trip through the Illinois Bell Tele- phone company was taken on one occasion, and much interest was paid to the maze of wires and lights which reminded the group vaguely of a huge spider web. A Senior Hi-Y member, Norman Kelly, held forth on the subject of the Older Boys ' conference as a feature of an early meeting. On November 14, the two Hi-Y sec- tions held joint session, and Pop Winchell talked on the subject of Hi Youth which, in- cidentally, is not a form of salutation. Next year a larger group is expected to fill the ranks of this new division of the Junior Hi-Y.

Kelly, Ray By various devices, College club members en- deavor to obtain first-hand connections with college life, and by their own investigations, choose their respective colleges. In carrying out this purpose, the collegians secured the services of Miss Hildebrandt, who discussed the cost of college, and Mr. Taggart, who talked on entrance requirements. In the club members ' investigation of college conditions, the benefits of a merger of the Uni- versity of Chicago and Northwestern univer- sity were challenged. Their search for college lore led them to make a trip to the campus of the University of Chi- cago, where they were honored by the able guidance of a gentleman thoroughly acquainted with the traditions of the university. It is nec- essary that one be a senior or junior in order to join the College club, and the only entrance requirements are a genuine interest in college life, and a desire to learn of the ways and means of getting some of it. Led by that youth, Leland D. Medsker, the Senior Hi-Y sallied forth bearing the motto, to create, maintain, and extend throughout the school and community, high standards of Chris- tian character, as a motif for its year ' s work. The first meeting was with Dr. Albert B. Coe of the First Congregational church in Oak Park, who gave them a lesson about their own pur- pose, Hi-youth. Old members enjoyed them- selves December 5 in the very hilarious sport of giving the new members the works. At times it would seem as though the Hi-Y were all wet, for it is one of its quaint cus- toms to wash off the club ' s personnel with a good ol ' swim now and then as a feature of a meeting. Another feature of its social year is the participation of the Hi-Y in the Oak Park Older Boys ' Conference, and a joint Hi-Y ban- quet with other suburban schools. As is the custom, a Hi-Y dance took place in the merry month of April. Page 91 iv i.] i ' 1ll l n iU l B BliWMIIWHWW mWHHlWll ' r !( ' « iyommerciaL Cylul? Top Ro2c—F. Dwoinen. J. Craddock. S.

Wing, )% One unit of credit in the commercial depart- ment is the only prerequisite to membership in this club. The purpose behind its existence is to furnish vocational guidance to its members and give them a clearer comprehension of the economic organizations of this complex mix- ture of human society of which we are all a part. In quest of a more complete understanding of the aforementioned purposes, the commercial- ites eagerly explored the internal organs of many of Chicago ' s large industrial establish- ments on personally conducted tours as the greater part of the year ' s program. In the dubi- ous month of November, the group scampered about the campus of the University of Chicago, where not a few were victims of an attack of college fever or a desire to see more of the place. During their stay-at-home meetings, the club members, led by the guiding spirit of Miss Alice Hahn, sought to develop further its purpose by engaging as speakers for the meetings, men di- rectly connected with the commercial world, especially those who were fitted to speak au- thoritatively on their subject. C. A. Schuster, a department manager for the great Chicago de- partment store, Marshall Field and Company; M. A. Vodianoy, a mechanical engineer, but recently returned home from soviet Russia, and Dr. Ethel Laybourne, of the Baptist home, who talked on the ways of India, were some of the distinguished speakers on the club ' s schedule. Two social gatherings were held during the year in order to permit the members to become more thoroughly acquainted with one another and to provide light-hearted amusement, which even so serious a club often needs. A banquet was held in the spring, in which the scheme of a western campfire was carried out. This event brought to a close an eventful and happy year for the Commercial club members. Page 92 Mesdemoiselles and Messieurs of the French club whirled through a year packed full of eventful meetings. New and original pro- grams were achieved this year by having a dif- ferent French II class take charge of each meet- ing. If, by chance, a stranger wandered into one of those meetings, he found the atmosphere distinctly French, as the members spouted the French language quite freely. There were sev- enty members belonging to this club who had at least one year of French, so they knew their French. Chances to display the amount of French the members have stored in their brains were af- forded when games, in which quick-thinking and a memory of French words were necessary, were brought into full play. These games fur- thered the purpose of the club by making the members remember their French in order to understand and do what was required of them. Everyday French conversation was illus- trated when the members had the pleasure of witnessing plays and hearing how a French household is conducted. It is through these lit- tle dramas that the members learn about the customs and legends of France. Talks about fa- mous cities and the country provided another means of getting the members acquainted with France. Turkey gobblers and gobbleresses frol- icked at the annual Thanksgiving dance. Thirty dollars, proceeds of this dance and dances of previous years, was spent for new French books which were presented to the department. At yuletide a special play was given in which members learned that it pays to be good in France or else one settles with old Saint Nich- olas. The Christmas party followed the play. Station OICU broadcast an unusual program at one of the meetings. Interesting and novel was the program of motion pictures. Beautiful views of France accompanied by talks about the coun- try and one reel of pictures of the members of the club were shown. The spring picnic in Thatcher ' s woods climaxed the year.

This club in the fifth year of the Roman State organized in 1929, saw a rapid proces- sion of events designed to promote good fellow- ship among Latin students, and to permit them to become more thoroughly acquainted with Roman life, history, and literature. On the last Friday of every month, Res Romana enjoys a program designed to further the purpose of the club. The Latin club gives Roman appella- tions to its oflScers, the president and vice-presi- dent being known as senior and junior consuls, and the treasurer, as quaestor primus. Much of the year ' s entertainment was dram- atic in character, there being several plays, of which one, representing a freshman Latin class, was put on by under-classmen. There was also a play depicting the freeing of a Roman slave during the Roman hohday season. The out- standing play, however, was the Conspiracy of Cataline, enacted by the Cicero class in the auditorium on May 4. Germany is well represented by the fifty-six members of the German club. After a year ' s credit in German has been received, students are eligible to join this club, where further ac- quaintance with the language, customs, and legends of Germany is stimulated. Two birthdays in November, those of Martin Luther and Schiller, motivated a discussion of these persons at one meeting. A short selection from Schiller ' s most famous play, Wilhelm Tell, was given. December gave occasion for the German play, Frau Holle, a legend about snow and Christmas. Rolhcking German songs are often sung at the meetings to help the mem- bers become familiar with German. At the Calico Fair, a flower booth, where both real and artificial flowers were sold, was the club ' s proj- ect. On February 16, the club sponsored a dance. A social party in April and a gay picnic the latter part of May ended the activities of this club for the year. PaRc 94 Ljabinei Spanish Uluh DlaLlayi ULub Top Rozt B. Kram. Anglini, -M. Bradv, D.

The chief aim of this organ- ization is to correct the tenden- cies toward poor English habits in those deficient in grammar usage. This is accomplished by personal interviews. Flying down to Rio is an easy feat if one belongs to the Span- ish club and uses his imagination. The South American republics, Central America, and Mexico all come in for their share of ex- ploration when would-be senors and senoritas begin to expostu- late. Tragedia de Amor, (Tragedy of Love) was presented and en- thusiastically received at the meeting on February 13. The customary picnic of the club was, as ever, a big success. Italy came in for a new deal of consideration during the year, as Proviso ' s members of the Italian club clung steadfastly to their desires to become better acquainted with the writers of the Old Country, its language, and its background. A talk on Marconi subdued those present at one club meeting, while an Italian Armistice day celebration and a play translated from the Italian, Rights to the Souls, entertained the assemblage at a later date. 4 Page 95 KyLuh cHeo- oream Ulvlcs Top Row — H.

In keeping with its purpose, the club entertained Dr. Tashiro, a Hawaiian-born Japanese, who, in turn, served a sukoyaki, as a Japanese supper is called, which more than squared the bargain in the club ' s estimation. Bright and shining lights of the freshman algebra classes be- come members of this club as a signal honor when they under- take the work of excavating plane geometry so that they may be able to learn new sidelights connected with mathematics. One of their pranks this year was a convention of mathema- ticians. Dr. Harry Crull, ' 26, lectured on May 15. Many of Proviso ' s civic-mind- ed students are full-fledged members of the Civics club. In this club an attempt to create a civic spirit is made, and the intricacies of government are explored. During the year many interesting programs were ar- ranged and trips taken to places in Chicago having civic value. On February 10, a group of forty students visited the Bel- mont Ice Cream company.

The disciples of Morphy and Capa- blanca enjoyed many a contest of the board in which knights rode down pawns in their ef- forts to checkmate the enemy king. Still others of this club occupied themselves with skip- ping round pieces of wood over other similar pieces, which they then seized triumphantly. Miraculous as it may seem, the members of the Camera club succeeded in obtaining identifi- cation pictures of nearly one thousand erudite freshmen with- out cracking a lens. The en- deavors of these amateur pho- tographers have been largely in the line of picture development, which they carried on in the secrecy of a very dark-room. The members were so interested in their craft that no time was taken out for social entertam- ment during the entire year. Second Rozv—C.

To become a member of this assembly of hopeful radio engineers, an aspirant must pass through an ordeal wrought with the perils of kilocycles, ohms, volts, amps, and even henrys.

However, this was the mildest part of the induc- tion ceremonies. The Varsity club, made up of major letter- men, is a goal for every boy who is interested in sports. Membership in this club is considered among the highest honors awarded to Proviso boys. In January, a father-and-son banquet was held in the school cafeteria for all the letter-men in school. The speaker for the occasion was Milt Olander, backfield coach of the varsity football team at the University of Illinois. He spoke on The Spirit of Football. Head of the coaches was Louis F. Slimmer. Slimmer coached the heavyweights in football, and the wrestling team. L. W. Remley, Slim- mer ' s able right-hand man, helped with the heavies, and also coached the heavyweight bas- ketball players, the result being the best team in years. Fred J. Hatley led the lightweights this sea- son, and also guided junior varsity basketball. Charles E. Kassel was the leader for fresh- soph football, assisted by R. Kuster. Kassel also coached lightweight basketball. O. H. Matte helped with heavyweight foot- ball, and coached junior varsity football, swim- ming, and track. Leading the fresh-sophs in basketball was E. W. Brooks, a newcomer at Proviso. Life-saving was under the tutorship of J. W. Moelk. The adviser for golf was U. C. Foster; baseball was coached by D. B. Appleton.

Remley ' s injured ankle! Anyway, it won six out of nine games played and finished second in the Suburban League, with Oak Park and Evanston neck and neck for first place. Stiff joints began to be loosened up the first day of school under the eagle eyes of Coaches Slimmer and Remley. And it was plenty hot! Coach Slimmer had lots of raw material from which to develop a first-rate team. Only eight letter-men returned to the squad: Johnny Mizen, Bill Johnson, George Schaefer, Nick Gengler, Wal ' er Pearson, Jack La Rocco, Her- man Salzbrenner, and William Watters. ' Sleepy Pearson, playing in only six games, proved to be the hit of the season by ringing up 3 8 of the 115 points scored by Proviso. Hermie Salzbrenner — and maybe you think he wasn ' t a quarterback — was runner-up with 3 3 chalk-marks. Kenny Briody, fullback, placed the ball over the white line three times, and Johnny Mizen followed with a like number of points. Bill Watters, Chuck Tiniakoft ' , Jack La Rocco, and Frank Paldina all helped to shove the number up to 115 by the end of the season. The heavies started things humming when they met York on the home field and gave the visitors a gentle but firm spanking, 13-0. The first touchdown of the season was made by Pearson, who was firmly resolved to pass over the chalk-line with the ball in his handstand he did. The second touchdown was a 15 -yard pass from Salzbrenner to Mizen over the goal line, which left York holding the proverbial bag. The second game was practically a walk-away for Proviso ' s huskies at Riverside. Salzbrenner, Briody, and Tiniakoff all had great fun in car- rying the ball over the goal line. But the back- field men weren ' t the only persons responsible for the victory; the linemen rammed and smashed the way through to make the coast clear for their oncoming teammates. Although it was six months before Easter, Proviso pre- sented Riverside with a nice goose egg, keeping 19 points for herself. And Slimmer and Rem- ley came back home with smiling faces. There may be a bogey man in the dark night for some kids, but it held no scares or terrors for the heavyweights when they journeyed to Elgin and conquered the Elginites in a night game by the score of 13-0. Guards Gengler and Gauthier gave all they had, and more, to clear the way.

New Trier came all the lonely way to Maywood only to go back home with long faces and heavy hearts and the butt end of the 24-0 score. (Time out for stage directions: All are happy. Coaches smile. Slimmer remarks: Not bad! Four games played — four games won; not scored on — yet. Not bad! ) The unscored-on team met the next two enemies without battin ' an eyelash. First Roose- velt was cordially invited over to Proviso for a passing struggle, and was sent home with a beat- ing of 21-6. Even when Slimmer ' s hopes of not being scored on were lost, the team still kept up its keen work by sinking Deerfield the fol- lowing Saturday on a flooded field in its second league scrap, the score being 19-0 when the game ended. Proviso at this time headed the list in the Suburban League. Pearson was seen for the last time on the gridiron when his ath- letic prep career ended after the Deerfield game because of the age limit. Go, team, go! Go, team, go! Hit ' em hard, hit ' em low, go, team, go! Go! Go! All the ef- forts of Manley Immel and his corps of cheer- leaders could do nothing to help Slimmer and his boys to keep the slate clean at the fatal and otherwise Evanston game. Lemon ' s steady and reliable blocking at Evanston did a bit to help keep the Evanston score down. Incidentally, blocking is the tough- est job in football; you gotta be able to take it on the chin — and dish it out. Salzbrenner neared the final stripe up within seven yards but couldn ' t finish out the run. When the big heap of squirming arms and legs unscrambled themselves for the last time, the gun sounded and the score stood 14-0. The game of games! The battle of the cen- tury! Oak Park, our friendly enemies, or any- thing else you want to call them, crossed the river to enter Proviso ' s humble field to end the League schedule of the current season. And that football seemed to be an Oak Park inven- tion, ' cause it flew all over the place and went just where Oak Park wanted it to go. Proviso had a good chance of scoring, but an unexpected fumble shattered this hope. The game gave the onlookers who came to witness the mighty struggle many thrills and ended with the un- Proviso-like score of 26-0. Gauthier, Mizen, Lemons, Salzbrenner, Wat- ters, Briody, Treabess, Paldina, Schaefer, Stein- hebel, Gengler, Altergott, and Tiniakoff, the cream of the crop, played their final game for their old alma mater.

All boys under 13 5 pounds were eligible, and sixty reported — only four being letter-men: Johnson, Duchesneau, Paladino, and Waters. That much new material faced Coach Hatley was probably the reason that the lights went out in their first four games of the season. Al- though the recruits began like gentle boys, they ended up by running all over their opponents. The opposition this year was especially tough. Facing teams like Riverside, Elgin, Oak Park, and LaGrange can ' t be compared to the strenu- ous task of pouring tea! The second Oak Park game was a rip-roaring one, with Proviso keep- ing Oak Park under her paw throughout the game. Oak Park ' s threatening advances to the goal line were checked; the team went home with its championship hopes completely an- nihilated. The Fort Dearborn massacre has gone down in history, but did you ever hear of what the Junior Varsity squad did to Elgin? That fate- ful game of October 7, 193 3, will long be re- membered by members of the team and its most distinguished coach, O. H. Matte. The score was 48-0, in case you ' ve forgotten. The seven games of the season were no burden to Matte ' s boys. They nonchalantly checked each game off the list as it came along, and proceeded with the work at hand. The only defeat of the season was suffered at the hands of their old enemy. Oak Park, the big, bad wolf. But Proviso got even in a return game by marching right back and scoring two touch- downs to Oak Park ' s one. Klean and Hurrell tripped a mere 70 and 80 yards respectively to score Proviso ' s points. Another reason the J. V. ' s should go down in history is that they played the shortest foot- ball game on record! LaGrange was the victim; the time was 40 minutes. Paoe 102 The fresh-sophs did things in a big way this season with no mean abihty, either. The crowd- ed season didn ' t keep the youngsters from com- ing through with a presentable record. The only losses were to New Trier and Evanston, and they were tough losses. The first game showed the underclassmen to be a little green, but this wore off as the season wore on. Jack Nettleton was the outstanding man on the fresh-soph squad; his actions on the grid- iron were something that a veteran could mar- vel at. Although the Morton game was hard on Pro- viso, the locals emerged from the fray with one touchdown to their credit. The Oak Park game was a horse of a different color. Proviso ' s lads gaily tripped away from the field with 20 points in their pockets, leaving Oak Park none the wiser. Smith, Proviso half back, starred in the game when he marched across the final white stripe with the coveted ball firmly gripped in his arms. Oh, I wish I was in Dixie! That wish was granted to the members of the heavyweight football team when they traveled into the land of sunshine and cotton to play the bald-headed Atlantans at Atlanta Tech High school, Geor- gia, in one of the biggest inter-sectional games of the year. A number of Proviso ' s students journeyed along to help the boys by stretching their vocal cords a bit — and they certainly did! The only sad outcome of the whole event was the contraction of measles by Les Croak, who was reluctantly (?) forced to stay behind for two weeks. The grid-graph reproduced the game play by play in Proviso ' s auditorium. Thrills galore! The actual contest was one in which the Blue- and-Whites had a taste of real battle. Salzbren- ner scored the only tally of the game for Pro- viso when he intercepted the flying ball and smash! — the would-be tacklers were tossed over by excellent blocking, and he scampered down the field for a goal. The roars that went up in the auditorium! But the game wasn ' t ended, not by a long shot; not a few minutes later, two successive touchdowns were made by Georgia, and they ended the game.

King Basketball was escorted into Proviso in full pomp and roy- alty by Coach L. W. Remley and heralded by Watters, Johnson, and Mizen, lettermen. Briody and O ' Donnell were elevated from the junior varsity squad into the more noble varsity team. The season ended practically even, with twelve struggles won and thirteen lost. In the Suburban league. Proviso edged off Oak Park for third place. The climax of the year was Proviso ' s participation in the state tournament where the team won from Dundee and Liberty- ville, and then was defeated by Lane. The Deerfield game was right up Proviso ' s alley. New Trier was the victim in the second league tilt as Remley ' s squad neatly tucked away another victory in an overtime game. In- to the valley of defeat rode the heavies when they met Evanston on the home floor. The game ended with a one-point difference in Ev- anston ' s favor. Johnny Mizen ' s appendix had to offer objec- tions just as the Oak Park game came up on the calendar. Oak Park went home with seven points more than the Blue-and-White, partly because of this reason. The heavies played the part of Wellingtons when Deerfield was defeated by the score of 3 5-18, in a come-back game. Fritz Emig made the ball do the basket-trick seven times, while Tiefenthal tossed it through the hoop a half- dozen times. New Tri er came to Proviso in a return game and put up a good fight against Coach Remley ' s players to win on a 31-29 count. Proviso went to Evanston in a confident spirit, but came home defeated, yet not conquered. At the end of the conflict the scoreboard registered 33-19. Then came the last league game in which Oak Park received Proviso with a self-confident spirit, but at the end of the game. Proviso tri- umphed with a one-point advantage. Although Coach Remley is losing Mizen, Emig, Wilcox, O ' Donnell, Watters, and Gil- lette through graduation, he will be comforted by the services next year of Flood, Johnson, Tiefenthal, and Sagalewich.

Camera! And another pic- ture directed by Coach Kassel, entitled Light- weight Basketball, ' 3 3 - ' 34, began to be shot at the Proviso picture studios ' way back last No- vember, with Jantzen, Landa, Haberkorn, and Farney as its featured players. And was it a box-office hit! It played to full houses at every showing and finished the season as the second- best action picture in the Suburban league! (The picture shot at Evanston studios seemed to be just as good in the eyes of the critics, so it was placed in the same class as Proviso ' s pic- ture.) This season ' s players were especially talented. The only old-timer back was the lanky center, Farney. Wes Guiney played in only eleven games because of the nine-semester ruling; his services were greatly missed by the team. Ex- tras like Fieileman, Gradt, Meyers, Hurtt, and Stewart, gave the coach nothing to worry about. Out of the nineteen games played, eight were league games; three were won, and five lost. The first league game with Deerfield was no triumph for Proviso, but it was later forfeited because of the ineligibility of a Deerfield player. However, at the return engagement of this game, Deerfield, who tied for first place with Oak Park in the league, wasn ' t in the mood of forfeiting games, so she up and won the game. Proviso bantams went to New Trier with murder in their eyes, but the scary look didn ' t scare the Triverians, because they just couldn ' t be scared. But when New Trier boys came back to chalk up another victory, they were badly disappointed, for they lost. At the first of the two showings with Evans- ton, Proviso was dealt a losing hand, even though Landa and Gradt fought to the last gun- shot. It was at the end of this game that Guiney ended his two-year career as a regular forward. At the second game, Evanston went back home with three points less than Proviso in an over- time game. The Oak Park games created an uproar, as usual. Farney and Gradt caused many hearts to drop when they made spectacular under-the- hoop shots. But all the combined efforts of the machine-like team from Proviso were to no avail. The second game was an overtime in which Proviso ' s lights lost by one point. Pa e 105 fff S.V.

Bottom The varsity squad ' s future prospects, the junior varsity, fought unflinchingly this year in trying to bring success to Proviso in all its games, and almost did that very thing by win- ning five out of eight games. Urbelis, the Tarzanic center, was the nucleus around which Coach F. J. Hatley built his team. Thelin and Seidel, forwards, were outstanding in their own class. The guards, Long Shot Scaletta and Prabish, were also helping hands in the success of the team. Morton and Maine were easily digested in the first scuffles, but in the Evanston game. Proviso suffered defeat by the score of 12-32. The tussle with Riverside needs no comment, but pages could be written on that next game with Oak Park. After Proviso had held the Parkers to a tie all the first half, Urbelis, of Proviso, was put out on fouls and the home team lost the tilt. A few days later in a return game, to even up the score, the Blue-White tossers vanquished the Oak Parkers, 30-26. The season closed with one more victory and another defeat; Maine was the victim, and Ev- anston, the victor. You may have seen a dream walking, but have you ever seen a basketball player who scored a total of 99 points in only ten games played? Such a person is Steve Mizen, freshman, who scored half the total points of the fresh- soph basketball team during the past season, and who promises to be one of Proviso ' s future stars. Of his 99 points, Mizen tallied 20 in the Evans- ton game, his highest score in any one game. Late in the season, many freshmen were transferred to the sophomore squad because the sophs were badly in need of more productive material. The freshmen brought home the ba- con more times than their brethren did, winning six games and losing two; whereas the second- year men were able to corner four games, and let five games slip through their fingers. Cronin, freshman, playing in nine games, and Boehm, sophomore, playing in ten games, were able to amass a total of 3 8 points each. Buck came next in line, with 32 chalk marks in nine games.

Coach Matte certainly faced a tough job at the start of the season because of the new mate- rial. Only three regulars reported for the first practice: Fuller, Stalley, and Goldstein. Winter and Caruso were both promoted from the junior to the senior class. Roy Fuller piled up the greatest number of points for the seniors, and Ortman made the high honors for the juniors. Even though you haven ' t seen it, Chet Goldstein won a medal in the Suburban League swim meet held at Oak Park, by placing second in the breast stroke division. Ortman and Wolflf placed fourth in their respective events of free style and back- stroke. Although the only life-savers some people have ever heard of are the candy mints with the hole, Proviso this year had a regular crew of rescuers with J. W. Moelk as the coach. A total of forty boys received life-saving badges this year, twenty-five passing the junior tests, and fifteen, the senior examinations. The senior tests, which are much more difficult than the junior tests, may be taken only by boys over 18 years of age. In order to get into the junior division, each person must be able to do the following with some reasonable ability: (1) swim two hundred yards; (2) give artificial respiration; (3) do the various body carriages, such as hair carry, cross-chest carry, tired-swimmers carry, and chin carry, and make the correct ap- proach for each carry; (4) surface dive; (5) disrobe in water; and (6) bring up weights. The senior life-saver must be able to pass all of the junior tests plus a few other things, such as carrying a man sixty feet, and floating and swimming four hundred yards. i % Page 1 07 V joresilincj C rack iloan, Babashka.

Coach Slimmer ' s mat-pounders completed a successful season with flags flying, having had only three meets, two with Morgan Park and one with Senn. Although the Proviso boys got off to a poor start by losing their first meet with Morgan Park, they came back successfully to win their second scrap with the M. P. ' s and the match with Senn. In the 145-pound class, Les Klean came out on top in three bouts. Stein, Russell, and Ginder, in the 108-pound, 116-pound, and 134-pound classes, respectively, won two bouts apiece. Diestal, 12 5-pounder, Miller, 15 5, and Babashka, heavyweight, were apportioned one victory each. By virtue of not having lost any bouts, Klean was awarded a major letter. Nine boys received minor letters. In the last mee:, the Morgan Parkers were leading 27-26 over the home-town boys with only one bout left, the heavyweight. Babashka wrestled a man who was sixty pounds heavier than he, and pinned the foe in 4:31 minutes to save the meet for Proviso. Proviso ' s wrestlers gave a free exhibition of their skill in the gym last February. Although winning few indoor meets, Pro- viso ' s trackmen furnished plenty of entertain- ment for track enthusiasts by displaying their undying loyalty to the fighting spirit of Proviso. During the indoor season. Proviso placed second in a triangular meet against Tilden and Univer- sity High, first in a dual meet against LaGrange, and last in the annual sextangular Oak Park relays. The outdoor thin-clads had won and lost a meet at the time of printing. Outstanding indoor and outdoor senior speedmen who are worthy of mention are: Rockefeller, high and low hurdles; Vahldick, high and broad jump; Kracalik, Wiederhold, and Michael, pole vault; Waldersen and Zapler, shot; Watters, dashes; Logan, low hurdles; Hes- terman, discus and javelin; Ruet and Berliner, members of relay. Commendable records were also turned in by the following members of the junior squad: Fanning, Stranahan, Hillery, Kane, Boehm, Mertineit, Adelman, Edwards, and Patterson.

Huebner, Ray Fulle Due to the discontinuing of the fresh-soph nine of former years, an unusually large number of varsity enthusiasts reported for first practice. Coach D. B. Appleton, himself a pitcher during his summer vacation, succeeded in imbuing his players with some of his own enthusiasm for the national sport. Nine service men from last year ' s Suburban league co-championship squad returned for ac- tion. Tiefenthal, who covered the pivot sack, developed valuable ability to fling the ball in whatever direction fancy dictated. Donovan and Wallace, who were the mainstay of the hurling staff, played well their part, and gave few batters a chance to pile up runs. Other players who occupied cushion positions and who proved themselves worthy of commen- dation were Miller and Flood, who adequately functioned at the hot corner, and Seidel, who managed by skillful playing at the initial sack position, to make the umpire ' s cry You ' re out! a familiar one. Hurrell, who captained the nine, turned in a commendable record as short stop. Haggstrom alternated with Urbelis in donning behind-the-plate apparel. All the Gene Sarazens and Bobby Joneses of Proviso, or those boys who thought they were .000 l7o as good as those aforementioned men, came out to practice yelling Tore and to try to hit that little white sphere around the rolling greens. U. C. Foster, who coached the golfers this year, had to be content with only one letter- man back from the previous season, Vito Suri- co. Roy and Ray, the Fuller twins, both re- turned to the team from last year, although they had not received the Blue-and-White in- signia. Edwin Schwerin, a newcomer to the squad, was Coach Foster ' s black-horse hope who made good in a big way. Positions on the team were secured through two qualifying rounds of play which were held at Maywood and Glenbard golf courses. Each participant had to have an average under 95 to get on the team. Nine out of thirty applicants were selected. Among the meets of the season were a district meet at Sunset golf course, the Illinois finals at Urbana, and a league tournament at Sunset.

Wheeler, sponsor, and its officers, Mary East, president; Mary Helen Hall, vice-president; Bonniebel Davis, secretary; and Sylvia Gollay, treasurer, the G. A. A. maintained a prominent position among school activities this year. Hockey and life saving were the first of the events sponsored by the G. A. A. to develop girls physically. June Olson was hockey man- ager, and Florence Belluomini, swimming man- ager. Marked by light-hearted gaiety, the pic- nic held September 19, to further the interest of freshman girls in the G. A. A., was a huge success. The dashing of waves, with billows a-plenty, certainly justified calling the party held in the swimming pool, October 2, a splash party. Speedball, a combination of soccer, basketball, and football, was introduced to freshmen at Proviso this fall. It proved a really interesting and wholesome game. Despite rain and hail, six girls travelled to LaGrange High School to rep- resent the Proviso G. A. A. at the annual play day, October 21. Laughter echoed and re-echoed through long dim corridors, while the girls Standing—A. Schulze, H. Hesterman, B. Hoeck, E. Ulrich, J. son, P. Lauth. F. Kirchhoff. V. Reesor. Seated— M. Thiesse, Stolzenburg, L. Dumond, J. Rodger, J. Wright, H. Mahnke, searched for clues in the indoor treasure hunt, one of the features of the meet. The Dancers ' club, with Miss Jean Currie of the physical education department as supervisor, held try-outs November 6. The aim has been toward individuality of expression and inter- pretation of music. Janet Rodger was dancing manager. Proudly clutching their autographs of Miss Ann Townsend, captain of the All- Ameri- can hockey team, five girls, accompanied by Miss Wheeler and Miss Helen Clarke of Oak Park, regretfully left for home at the conclu- sion of the United States Field Hockey tourna- ment at Dyche stadium, in November. Merry crowds thronged to Proviso when the Barnyard and Balehay ' s Circus arrived Decem- ber 8 and 9. Most spectacular of school events this year, it displayed breath-taking feats, a varied assortment of strange, unknown animals, and numerous sideshows. Frank Vertuno and Marian Backus reigned as king and queen of the sawdust ring.

Leader awards, the first to be given this year, were presented to June Olson for excellent service in hockey, and to Vivian Reesor for service and leadership in helping make the cir- cus a success. Members of the Dancers ' club held a tea on January 22 to afford their parents an opportunity to understand the purpose of the after-school rhythms dancing course. New to Proviso this year. Miss Jessica Nixon, of the physical education department, super- vised after-school tap-dancing classes, beginning February 5. Miss Elna Mygdal, instructor at the University of Wisconsin, gave a dance recital February 9. Lyrical beauty, happiness, and con- tentment, with poignant reality in her serious numbers, were skillfully and artistically por- trayed by Miss Mygdal. The round-robin bas- ketball tournament was concluded February 26. Marie Weber was basketball manager. March 4 marked the beginning of volleyball practice, with Jane Gustafson as manager. Twenty-two girls passed their life-saving tests March 19. They had worked under Miss Eva Eddy, swimming instructor. Baseball practice, begun in the second week of April, was among the best loved sports. It continued till the close of the school year. Shir- ley Jameson was manager. A dance drama, centering about a little princ- ess who culdn ' t dance, was the climax to G. A. A. activities on May 10. Storybook heroes and heroines; the elements of lightning, fire, and rain; and Indian, Hungarian, and Chinese dances, all entered into the drama to make this the most successful enterprise of the year. The G. A. A. offers to girls unlimited oppor- tunities in the fields of sports, dancing, and swimming. Soccer, hockey, speedball, archery, ping-pong, basketball, volleyball, and baseball bring out the finer points of keenness, skill, and activity in girls. Interpretive, folk, and tap- dancing make for the qualities of gracefulness and mental alertness to those who are interested in them. Life-saving and the simple swim strokes are taught, which develop girls physi- cally and help in their well-being. . Larson, B. Hunter. M. Vir Kewin, I. Lang, J. Radtke Standing — F. Jagodinski, J.

( ke L{se of J eisure ( i ime The most important thing about a man is not how he earns his living, but how he spends his leisure time. Thus once said a representa- tive of the Chicago Civic Opera company. If one has an avocation that is of real merit, he will be spending his spare time in accomplish- ing things that are worth while. The greater part of wrong-doing is a result of leisure time that is spent worthlessly because of lack of an ethical diversion. There are countless, splendid avocations that are well worth being considered; music, garden- ing, painting, reading, collecting stamps and coins, writing, golfing — all these hobbies and numerous others tend to broaden and enrich the life. An avocation acts as an incentive, an m- spiration; it strengthens the character and the mind; it increases one ' s scope of knowledge; if it is an avocation that deals with the out-of- doors, it builds up the body; it is a diversion and a form of relaxation from the usual trend of work. The personal satisfaction and confi- dence instilled by the ability to be adapted to, and thoroughly understand, something other than a necessary vocation, should be motives for having an avocation. When a person loafs during his leisure time, when he is not interested in any special thing and doesn ' t care to exert himself unless absolute- ly necessary, he is likely to be of the same dull and lifeless nature even in his vocation. If such is the case, he cannot very well succeed, for he lacks the keenness, the alertness, the vitality, th at come with getting as much as possible out of life. An avocation discourages loafing and provides training in the art of working indus- triously and conscientiously. There are some people in the world today — many, in fact — who just can ' t bear to be alone. When they admit this, they don ' t realize that they are branding themselves as a bore. They are just that — a bore — if they can ' t even keep themselves company. Were they interested in some subject, such as music or sewing, they could easily spend a very enjoyable evening alone. Often an avocation becomes of more impor- tance than a vocation. Such was the case of a man whose hobby was collecting butterflies. In the course of this study, he discovered sev- eral new specimens, some of which were named after him. Thus, his avocation developed into the more important part of his life. Although some avocations may seem odd and almost ridiculous to one person, to another they are interesting and worth while to work on. Consequently, it is wiser not to scorn the inter- ests of others. Keeping in mind that the most important thing about a man is how he spends his leisure time, let us strive to spend what leisure time we have in an avocation that will make our lives richer and finer. Vagc U Jjil C nebr fruits ye SkaLL J now kem Seniors, we have finished four years of hfe in Proviso. During these four years we have been absorbing more or less of the various types of learning which high school offers. Many of us have finished our school days. We will, in the future, rely largely upon the knowledge we have gained in high school. Have we ever considered just what a four- year high school education may give us? Have we ever wondered just how much of this edu- cation we ourselves have gained? Education isn ' t merely something one gets from books. A smattering of science, language, and mathema- tics doesn ' t entitle us to call ourselves educated. There are certain intangible qualities which we develop along with our book-learning that really qualify us to consider ourselves more or less educated. Recently pupils in a senior English class were asked to write a paper stating the qualities which they believed the high school graduate should possess physically, mentally, socially, and spirit- ually. Some of their ideas are herewith pre- sented. Foremost was the opinion that a high school student should have a broad outlook on life; he should have a general knowledge of a great many things; he should be able to converse intelli- gently on these subjects. He should not be a conservative; neither should he be an extreme radical. The graduate should have a definite idea as to what he wishes to do after he leaves high school. His four years of training have enabled him to ascertain in what direction his interest and ability lie. He should possess the ambition that will goad him on to success. Enthusiasm and the desire for deeper learning should be the keynote of his character. That the high school graduate must have a good character was unanimously conceded. Ini- tiative, self-reliance, and a faculty for clear thinking were ranked as necessary factors in a good character. High moral standards and good character go hand in hand, of course. The art of giving service to others makes for unselfish- ness, another desirable quality in good character. An appreciation of the fine arts was listed as part of a true education. The high school grad- uate should be able to understand and enjoy those finer things which make up so great a part of his life. Certainly, a student will have a rich- er, fuller life if he does have such appreciation. Physical fitness was also regarded as exceed- ingly important. The high school student should have formed good health habits. He should be well-dressed; this does not necessarily mean expensively or fashionably dressed. Neat- ness should be characteristic of his appearance. He should possess principles of cleanliness in both mind and body. Well-educated men and women respect the rights of others. They respect other people ' s religions and creeds. Religion does something for young people that is necessary to their fu- ture happiness and peace of mind. A graduate will never regret it if he has formed the church- going habit while in high school. Surprisingly enough, a sense of humor was ranked as a very desirable quality. Certainly the student has a better understanding of human nature and a brighter outlook on Hfe if he is fortunate enough to possess this quality. There are, undoubtedly, many more quaHties which the graduate possesses. Each individual has his own particular personality — his own ideals. The community looks to him as one of the coming generation. Its hopes lie with him. We graduates have a great responsibility on our shoulders. Let us hope that we are possessed of these qualities which go to make fine young men and women, and that our high school days have been an experience to which we can look back with much happiness, as most profitable. Thank you — thank you very much indeed, says the ' 34 Provi staff to Miss Wilhelmina Marm, who supervised the beauty of this book; to Manley W. Immel, who coached the publicity hounds; to Wilson A. Law, who handled all the cash; to H. F. Johnson, who took many of the group pictures; and to the Pageant representa- tives, who managed the subscription campaigns in their home rooms. Page 114 J-owrymihm Wallace Bruce The press, that wonder of wonders, is, has been, and will probably continue to be, the hub of the world ' s activities. The rapidity and ef- fectiveness of the progress of civilization are controlled by this dispenser of knowledge that holds man in its firm grasp. It is so importarit socially, politically, and economically, that it is practically indispensable. It keeps the people of the world abreast of the times. It informs those people of this country or that, those who live on farms, and those who inhabit the cities, as to the events of the day — events that happen at home and events that happen thousands of miles away. Short daily accounts posted in conspicuous public places were the first foreshadowings of anything like the modern newspaper. To the unconquerable Julius Caesar belongs the credit for starting this enterprise that has since in- creased in size and scope at such an astonishing pace that it is now a great poHtical and social organization — An institution that fights for progress and reform, an institution devoted to the public welfare, an institution that has one mission — to elevate humanity. A good journalist is always needed. The only place that is crowded is the bottom, not the top, as Cameron Beck, personnel director of the New York Stock Exchange institution, so fittingly stated. Opportunities in journalism, based upon its past and present, provide an in- spiring field for the enthusiastic beginner. The journalistic newspaper institution of to- day is made up of a great number of parts, some of which are more important than others. One usually enters the field by way of a small coun- try-town paper or by the city news bureaus located in the larger cities. He is, at first, only a cub reporter; but, as in most other occupa- tions, he may receive promotion according to his ability and his ambition. The newspaper is so far-reaching and has so many phases of hfe to deal with, that the chances of advancement are exceptionally good. The mental and physical strain endured by a reporter is at times terrific. He is expected to go without sleep and food, if the occasion so demands. An old-timer of the newspaper game has this to say in regard to General Johnson ' s newspaper code, I have grave suspicions that the NRA code is not suited to the adventures of getting out a newspaper. Any reporter who works only forty hours a week — and is content — isn ' t worth his salt. A real newspaperman very seldom works less than sixteen to eighteen hours a day. He wanted to become a journalist in the first place, because he had a non-stop brain. Money has its place in life, but it isn ' t everything, said Cameron Beck. Certainly, no- body ever went into the newspaper game to make money. Then what does drive the increas- ing multitudes into the newspaper offices? It is partly the excitement and the opportunities for contact with notable people that one gets, but above all, it is the satisfaction of seeing one ' s stuff in print, and of being of service to one ' s community. From a creative standpoint the world ' s most educational occupation, the newspaper game, has more advantages than disadvantages. If a reporter or deskman is worth anything at all, he will advance; the older he gets, the more valuable he will become. Maturity and in- creased knowledge are important factors in any field of work. A newspaperman is able to draw wages as long as his mind is able to function and he is able to hobble about. It is true that sometimes the newspaper racket does not afford a living, but this applies only to the very lowest type of reporter. With average success, one can live comfortably if not luxuriously. Of course, some reporters are over- paid even at twelve or fifteen dollars a week. The chances of a newspaper man ' s being able to save are as good as those of a man in any other occupation. It depends upon the indi- vidual. In many fields the slow procedure of trying and trying again may be satisfactory, to achieve the desired results. But in the journal- istic field, for the most part, a man must be experienced, quick-witted, and broad-minded; he must have a wide knowledge, a keyed-up de- termination, and a magnetic personahty. Speed and accuracy are the key words to his success. Every occupation, however humble or proud, demands the knowledge of certain facts and the ability to put these facts into use. However, a conscientious desire to follow a particular call- ing, especially in journalism, is one of the first essentials. The journalists of by-gone years usually en- tered the profession by way of other professions. As time passes the profession of journalism is drawing its reserves from its own professional li Vagc 1 1 5 ptnwHi aiLMttni ' B iamiHPimtiimrtiiiWtjflmaCTa Slfi ti 4lil schools, where the student journaHsts undergo a broad prehminary training. In journahsm, quite as much as in any other Hne of work, good personality and character are essential for success, since a newspaperman ' s job brings him into contact with all types of so- ciety. Formerly the newspaperman was pictured as a tough hombre with a turned-up coat collar, a felt hat pulled down over his eyes, a pistol in his pocket, and the appearance of a gangster. Today, however, he is respected by the most influential citizens. Journalism is educational and interesting, and is worthy of the study of any one interested in benefiting mankind. A 1 uppelrij Ellen Bowen The great antiquity of puppets is apparent from the fact that figures with movable arms and limbs have been found in the tombs of Egypt. They were probably first employed for small theaters by the ancient Greeks; from Asia Minor they traveled eastward to China and there made themselves at home; then they traveled westward throughout Europe. They were used in the temples and churches of China, Java, Japan, and Egypt in the forms of characters from Biblical stories; they por- trayed the lives and deeds of saints and gods. The puppet Marys, used by the churches, came to be called Marionettes. Popular subjects in the sixteenth century were The Prodigal Son and Jonah and the Whale. In 1575 the Lord Mayor of London author- ized Italian marionettes to perform in England. In 1642, because of the quarrel between the Puritans and the theaters, all theaters in Eng- land, save those devoted to marionettes, were closed. This was an opportunity for the puppet showmen who were being driven from the churches of Italy and France to flock to Eng- land. The first European puppets on record in the United States came from England; in 1747 Punche ' s Opera, Bateman, or The Unhappy Marriage, was presented in New York City. Whittington and His Cat was later given in that city. In 1771 Spanish hand puppets ap- peared in New Orleans. Marionettes were seen in Boston in 1792. Dominique Vitali, Matthews, Henry, G. W. Hoyt, and Dan Rice were active Punch-and- Judy men in the early nineteenth century. Companies called the Royal Marionettes and the Royal Oriental Marionettes (from Crystal Pal- ace, London) presented extravaganzas in the manner of English Christmas pantomimes. Goethe, George Sand, Remercier de Neuville, Count von Pocci, Richard Teschner, Alexandra Exter, and many others helped to bring about the recognition of puppets as a special medium capable of playing in their own way, inde- pendent of the larger theater. A steady stream of European companies in- spired a dynasty of American marionette show- men. Walter Deaves toured Australia and the Orient with his troupe. Puppets had, by the end of the nineteenth century, girdled the world. Not until the twentieth century did puppets rise in the social world from the streets and the fairs to the palace, to the literary salon, and to the middle-class parlor. The final step in the development of pup- petry was taken by artists and men of the the- ater who were once bitter rivals of the puppet show. The revival of interest in puppetry came to the United States in 1915. Helen H. Joseph published the first edition of A Book of Marionettes, a history of puppetry growing out of her own practical experience in produc- ing. Tony Sarg was discovered and backed by Winthrop Ames, a famous producer. Sarg first sent his productions on the road in 1919. Soon the puppeteers of Sarg ' s com- pany began to organize their own troupes and go out. Schools and clubs joined the movement and produced puppet shows. Today several leading colleges instruct teachers in the art of puppetry so they may guide their pupils. Although the revival of interest in puppets is recent, business competition is already brisk in some parts of the country; in others, there is still the thankless pioneer work of making the public see what it is all about. Today most puppet companies are small, having only three or four operators. All the equipment, including stage, platform for operators, stage properties, manikins, costumes, and musical instruments, must be transported wherever the show goes. The directors are called upon to do anything from writing a play or revising a legend to erecting the stage or repairing a tear in a stage setting. The artist interested in modern design has here a field where originality and inventiveness can have full play. Page 116 interior JJecoraiL Eva Koschmann ' A thing of beauty is a joy forever; Its loveliness increases; it will never Pass into nothingness, but still will keep A bower quiet for us, and a sleep Full of sweet dreams and health and quiet breathing — John Keats Interior decoration is an art as well as a pro- fession. Its object is to arrange a home, not merely a house, in such a manner that it will express the characteristics, the preferences, the individuality of the people who live in that home, and at the same time be an interior en- vironment that is best suited to their particular mode of life. Interior decoration has an excellent historical background in furniture designing, wall decora- tion, and hangings for beautifying the home, that extends into the past several hundred years. The simpler phase of the Italian Renaissance began about 1450, and with Rome, elaboration spread to England, Spain, and France. Mag- nificent examples of designing were seen in France throughout the reigns of Louis XIII, XIV, XV, and XVI, closing with the eighteenth century. In England during the eighteenth cen- tury, the great furniture designers, Chippen- dale, Hepplewhite, Adam, and Sheraton, de- veloped a charm of interior decoration that has not been equaled since in its originality and beauty, except in the work of Duncan Fyfe, in America. In the past hundred years, there has been no outstanding furniture designer of originality anywhere in Europe or America. In the nine- teenth century, decorative art of all kinds was at low ebb, and even the sense of good taste seemed to be lacking. It may take the modern- ism of the twentieth century to develop some- thing that will make a new epoch in originality and beauty of design. What is it that the modern decorator finds so attractive about his work? Those who have had years of experience say that it is the satisfaction of creating artistic and useful environment, especially in the home, a service which they re- gard as one of the greatest benefits to mankind. It is also a career that is never uninteresting, because there are always new homes to arrange and different people to meet. The interior decorator comes in contact with a lovely class of people, and has an opportunity of making new friends continually. After a person has worked as an interior decorator for a while, he loves the work so well that he never wants to leave it. Once one has become established in this career, he has a good income, and thus has an opportunity to save, as there is enough work to do the year around. Another advantage in this field of work is the opportunity for advancement. One may start as a clerk in a drapery shop, and after working there awhile, he may be recommended to a department store as an interior decorator. After learning enough about the business, one always has the opportunity of starting out in business for himself. Further study in the field of interior decora- tion, even though one does not enter it, has great value for the individual. He can use such knowledge directly in perfecting his home and office, as well as in personal enjoyment of de- lightful surroundings. Indirectly, he can influ- ence others to beautify their surroundings, and thereby bring more happiness into their lives. Although the term interior decoration means primarily the use and combination of articles and materials that will make more beautiful surroundings, it also includes the de- signing of furniture and wall decorations. It is, therefore, correctly interpreted as a special branch of architecture, and the trained pro- fessional decorator has much the same status as the architect. What is it that the interior decorator finds unattractive in his career? In the first place, interior decoration is the first business to feel a depression, and the last one to pick up after the depression. Even if the interior decorator works every day, his hours are very irregular. One day he may have to work ten hours; the next day, just three; and there is a great deal of physical strain connected with his work. He often has to walk a long way to the homes of his clients, or to different stores. At times it is also necessary for him to move furniture. Be- sides this physical strain, there is, of course, some mental strain. He must determine the tf5 Page 117 iiH ai ummi i tf iT iHKfymtitwi i ' tirggy? ' i ' ;iWffltTinrW size of curtains, rugs, materials for chair covers, and so forth. His figures must be accurate; if they are even an inch or two off, it may mean a loss of hundreds of dollars. Another disagreeable feature is that the in- terior decorator must go over incomplete build- ings in which decoration is being done. This is often necessary; upon his readiness to do this may depend the success of a particular venture. There are certain qualifications necessary to be a successful interior decorator. A decorator must know a little of everything, and every- thing about decorating. That is a great deal to demand of any one. Art schools usually re- quire that the applicant have a high school edu- cation. A cultural background is most desirable, and travel is of great value. Training may be self-imposed, or it may be obtained in an art school; but the fact remains that it is necessary. Although it takes a great deal of study and hard work to become a successful interior dec- orator, one is amply repaid for the time and effort spent in learning the profession by the satisfaction which is derived from it.

Dawes, presi- dent of the 1934 World ' s Fair, said, It is with pride and confidence that Chicago announces the opening of its International Exposition on May 26, 1934 — pride in the success of its ef- forts in the exposition of last summer, and con- fidence based upon the experiences of that year, and the support already pledged to our new effort. Mr. Dawes spoke of the new fountain, which will undoubtedly be a sensational feature of the 1934 World ' s Fair. Major Lenox R. Loler, general manager, revealed Saturday, April 14, that the largest and most beautiful fountain ever built will be the outstanding feature of the World ' s Fair. Starting from the center of the Twelfth Street bridge that connects the mainland with Northerly island, the brilliantly lighted bank of water will extend south for two city blocks, into North lagoon. Through the outlets of the giant fountain will flow 63,000 gallons of water a minute. This is nearly five times the 14,000- gallon flow of the present largest fountain. Magnificent Hghting effects in five colors — green, red, amber, blue, and white — will make the spectacle unlike anything else in the world. Shrouded in mystery is the new color and lighting scheme — and it will not be until the 1934 edition of A Century of Progress is actu- ally under way that the public will have any inkling of the picture it will present. This new scheme is described by its creators as a coor- dinated medley of scintillating colors. Ten new colors h ave been introduced for the fair, not one of them being comparable with any tint used last year. There is one shade, a distinctive pur- ple-red, to be found in the new World ' s Fair palette, that has never been used in exterior dec- orations before. Another point about which Mr. Dawes gave information was the ceremony connected with the star, Arcturus, that lighted the World ' s Fair last year. A new and different Arcturus ceremony will take place nightly this year at the exposition. The ceremony will be that of Hghting the Arcturus beacon. On a tall, formal pedestal appropriately placed in the Court of Science will be a pillar bearing a decorative bea- con light, a torch of gas. The Arcturus ray will be captured at the exposition itself by a power- ful reflecting telescope set on the great terrace. The power of the Arcturus ray, amplified, will light the beacon each evening at the hour of twilight. A suitable ceremony will accompany this event. Mr. Dawes also spoke of some of the novel- ties to be shown at the fair. One of these is the making of paper out of flies. He gave the following information sent to him by William J. Misklla, president of the Paper Foundation: We are always experimenting with new wrin- kles in paper-making, and now we have found that the legs and wings of flies, if mixed with the pulp of superfine paper, give the finished product a peculiar and handsome watermark pattern that is impossible to duplicate in any other way. We will probably have to look to Europe for our flies, for health authorities and housewives have reduced them to comparatively few in the United States, Mr. Misklla said. We are now negotiating with a man in Eu- rope, whose identity I cannot reveal, who will be able to supply house flies to us in carload lots. The process is this: To remove the wings and legs, the flies are pressed against a screen which will not allow their bodies to come through. Wings and legs are then scraped off, and mixed with the paper pulp. This new fly paper will not be expensive to manufacture. Mr. Dawes also told about paper nails. Pa- per nails, so strong they can be driven with a sledge hammer, will also be on public display for the first time in the Paper Foundation ' s ex- hibit. Made of shredded paper, hardened by a hydraulic press, they are valuable in certain types of construction because they are not con- ductors of electricity, and can be hit with a hammer without giving off sparks. They are extremely useful around a powder mill or near any high explosives. One of the most interesting things to both grown-ups and children will be the color or- gan. The color organ this year, stated Mr. Dawes, instead of playing colors alone, will play animated cartoons. These cartoons will tell the story of grain foods. The characters will romp through the harvest field, and with sprightly activity and good-natured humor will grind and mill the grist, work wizardry with products, and even show the Joys with which these goodies are consumed. The World ' s Fair of 1934!! It is truly some- thing to look forward to. In its bright colors, beauty, wonders, and fun-making, it will be an experience that will live forever in the world ' s mind.

Lift your head, keep your heart from break- ing— A brighter day ivill come tomorrow. Lift your head, dear friend, and smile. For many are the trials of love; So you must be brave, and all the while Put complete faith in God above. Though mem ' ries hurt so terribly. And each one has a separate sting, They ' re all I have; they ' re dear to me; Fd not exchange them for anything.

Kristufek The FORD CARR, after executing an IMMELman turn, stopped by a clump of OAKES in the woods. We must have lost a BOLT, said WILLIAMS, one of the occupants. Let ' s WHEEL ' ER out of this EDDY of rain. There is a house with a PORCH on it, and maybe we can get out of this WHIT FIELD. It looks like a SHEPARD ' s house, but nobody ' s home. Perhaps the door is open. O ' TIS, and we can get in. The house was furnished simply with just a REID table and some chairs. On the table, there were some MOELK, PICKLES, BRENN, EN KUSTERd, rem- nants of a recent repast. Suddenly WILLIAMS became STARK WHITE and exclaimed, Oh, M ' ARM! Right about face, you three! said some one out of the darkness of the hut. I ' m going to MARSHALL you to the chief. GOLDINGlocks, sister of WILLIAMS, was pulled along as she called to HAR MAN to SLAV ER. NEL- SON was helpless, however, because the SHEPARD had his finger on the TRIGGer of the gun which was tickling his ribs. EVAN so, he managed to break away, and soon had the villainous SHEPARD in his power. TALL MADGE, the fourth member of the party, said, Let ' s go and SIG WORTH, our trusty dog, on him while we go for help. But all was in vain for at the door stood growling a large, black BAER. HOLT on to your nerve, shouted NORMAN to the rest. I ' ll SAYLOR past that thar BAER to yon- der KASSEL and bring back the LAW. Five days and four nights our heroes and heroines waited for NORMAN to return. The fifth night there was a terrible BERG STORM with REINING And SCHLUETERing. Out of the GRAY night came a mysterious command. NEAL down on the floor, you four! HU LET you in? gasped Madge. DU VALL I say, and nothing serious will happen much. Who are you? demanded Nel. I am the famous EM. GE. (eminent gangster) of APPLETON. My full name, which of course you have heard before, is MITCHELL GARLOUGH, and now I have you in my power. Ha, ha, ha! (The vil- lain laughs, the viper!) I am going to free you all but Madge. I ' ll COOP ' ER up, and when you return with sufficient ransom to suffice my HAHNorable (no, this is not Fu Manchu) demands, she shall be thrown out in the STREET. Oh, POP, LETT me go! cried Madge. Don ' t CHU LOCK me up. I shall be GOOD WIN you wish me to CURRIE our famous bloodhounds, even if I am growing SLIMMER day by day doing it. Madge had Vage 123 become delirious from the great strain, and did not know what she was saying. BRACE WELL yourselves now, for I am going to throw the rest of you out into the storm, said EM. GE. Treat Madge GENTIL, INd we will be back with the money, shouted WILLIAMS as he sTAGGART out. WEL SHief, you came just in time. I was just going to have the captives make out their WILLS when you happened in. I didn ' t know what to do with them, said Dav, the SHEP- ARD. Good old JOHNSON, TROST you not to know what to do. But I ' m not one to FOSTER a grudge, and so will forgive you this time, the chief said. Madge stood tREMLEYing in this lAM ' S DEN (he was in sheep ' s clothing) and finally cried, Have you no PHELAN? Doesn ' t the sight of me here alone cause you PAYNE? Naw, grunted the chief. ISAACS DAV IS good enough protection for you. Quick, FAN CHER, Dav; she is fainting. It is now necessary to leave the heroine to her fate and pick up the rest of the troupe (not bodily) . After being pushed out into the raging tor- rent of rain, the three started out in what they thought was the right direction. Innumerable BROOKS were cROSSed and finally the great BALD RIDGE mountain confronted them. By this time, GOLDINGlocks was tired, and WIL- LIAMS was irritable. GAL, STER straight, will you? I can hardly follow you, said WILLIAMS. We need some famous explorer like CAR- TER to lead us, said Nel, the calm member of the party. I, for one, am always running into some of these tree STUBBS. It ' s a good thing we were let go SCOTT free, but poor Madge, O LIVER as much as you, GOLDINGlocks, and MA TTEars are shed for her. I wish I could takE WING and fly to rescue her. In the VALLO of the moon, but lost! cried WILLIAMS to the seven winds (or is it four?). HO GAN ' s there?!! came out of the night. Sure, an ' it ' s a nasty night for prowlers to be about. STEG MAN up! said policeman HIL- DEBRANDT. Ah, it ' s a lucky thing you CAM RONd, said GOLDINGlocks. Now, with you as a witness and MONI LAWyears we can sue that villain back there. Back at the cottage, the policeman and the returned group soon became MASTERS of the situation. NORMAN, who had meanwhile re- turned, had brought back HATLEY, a good old Proviso coach (yea, team!) who had tack- led and overpowered the famous EM. GE. So you let the CAT LIN — I mean out of the bag! shouted WILLIAMS. Oh, so it was all a trick! exclaimed Madge. Well, you had MED SKERed for a minute, but I knew it all the time. (That ' s what they all say.) It was all A DAIR on the part of WIL- LIAMS and EM. GE. I see it all now. OS BURNed up, that ' s what I am. Look at Worth WAGN ER tail. She appre- ciates the danger I was in. It ' s a WUNDER LICH I wasn ' t shOTT because of your little joke. I BAR NUM of you in this matter, and I speak the GOSPILL when I say this. If ROBINSON or JOHNSON, or whatever his name is, had his way, I would, no doubt, be with JED and IKE, my dear departed brothers, in heaven. We shall COME RYght out and tell you that we meant this all to be only a sHAM MITT a little fun mixed in. All this RON- EYng about was to see if you could take it. We can see MC AUL EYes that you can, said NORMAN. Bravo!! All of you should spend a hundred and fEI LERS in a penitentiary, that ' s what! cried Madge. However, I am resigned to my future at your hands. Nice playful group, this. FINIS REALIZATION Louis Marchi While she was making the bed, her small slippered foot suddenly felt something viscous, tepidly moist. The terror of it froze her in her tracks. With a moan, she fell in a crumpled heap on the floor. Returning consciousness brought to her the realization of the facts, for the ominous presence revealed itself to be an exquisite, lavender hot water bottle.

What heart- breakers our Home Economics girls must be! (And ah! how they can handle a rolling pin!) We sigh with envy. If only we belonged to the Italian club, then we, too, could eat spaghetti. Really eat it, we mean. Or, who knows, we might become opera stars. Ah, again we sigh! Mysterious, aloof, are the Radio club members. Wonder what they do secreted up in that tower room? Personally, long distance doesn ' t enthrall us. We can ' t tell the difference between Chinese and static anyway. The Pageant ought to snap up all Latin club members. What publicity agents they ' d make! Their studies in Roman oratory ought to help them sell the Pageant to Hitler. Ein, zwei, drei, spiel! Herr Louie ' s Hungry Five have nothing on our German club members. They can sing several verses of Snitzelbank and dance the German expertly. The play ' s the thing, said somebody. Just what thing we don ' t know. But we do like the things the Proviso Players put on. Some of those love scenes are truly great, and as for the tragedy — ah! ' tis indeed pathetic! Math club members, bless them, should work at the Fair this summer — One of these Guess your weight? jobs. We bet we ' d win a lot of canes! Stories of dark-eyed senoritas and dashing toreadors intrigue us. But all the Spanish we know is si, si. Mebbe it would help if we joined the Spanish club. Si, si? Oh la! la!

Note; This manuscript represents the sum total efforts of a few aspiring alleged comic writers among which those whose names appear are: James Boughton, Harvey Karlen, Chester Ernst, and Louis Ridolfi.) Time: What they should be doing. Place: 284 — (in Proviso, not Johet). Scene I The scene opens with the Honorable Pearson tapping daintily on the desk with a sledge ham- mer. After twenty-five minutes of so-doing, the members of the senate are quieted down to the extent that the proverbial alarm clock could not be heard, if ringing. Bailiff: Oyez, Oyez. This most august and esteemed body will please pipe down. President Walter B. Pearson, Jr.: Order, Or- der!!! McQueen: Two hamboigers with beeah. (Stage directions: Strong-arm guards es- cort Mr. McQueen Co. to exit. But he comes back through window for more.) President Walter B. Pearson, Jr.: We will have the roll call. Answer by the name of your favorite fruit. Volkmann: Pear. Mary Munn Hayes: Apple. Annie Buick: Billy Thompson. President Walter B. Pearson, Jr.: Will all those who are not here please speak up? Vertuno: Up. (Stage directions: All those talking are thrown out. Nobody is left.) Scene II The meeting is now resumed in the Forest Preserves in a choice spot next the Desplaines river under the spreading cherry tree of fairy- tale fame. President Walter B. Pearson, Jr.: Is there any business smelling of old age? Marchi: Yeah, the jokes in the Pageant. President Walter B. Pearson, Jr.: Hey, you in the empty seat, shut up!!!! Bill Rence: Mr. President, I move we give a standing vote of thanks to the person who do- nated those life-like statues adjacent to the stadium. Mahnke: (Hurriedly) I second the motion. (A chorus of assent arises.) President Walter B. Pearson, Jr.: Those aren ' t statues; those are CWA men working. Kelly: (In an Irish dialect) Dissa joka isa no Page 128 (Another chorus of assent.) Enter Strong-Arm Men. ■laiiwiiia President Walter B. Pearson, Jr: It ' s mutiny, that ' s all. (Strong- Arm Men, with Gottfried Martin supplying the man power, escort the President out of view. Considerable commotion is heard, and the aforesaid President returns from his chastisement in a highly disreputable condition.) Scene III Pearson appears in bathing trunks; acts tar- zanish. President Walter B. Pearson, Jr.: Hey, youse guys, Mr. Stubbs has something to say. Mr. Stubbs: This assemblage is extremely obstreperous. Scholars of your character are not customarily so boisterous. Voice in the dark: We understand only English. President Walter B. Pearson, Jr.: As I was saying, we must have peace and quiet. Belline: This is no sanitarium. Mr. Stubbs: You are entirely correct. But, nevertheless, we shall require one soon if we don ' t have more order. Kelly: Mr. President, I want the floor!!! President Walter B. Pearson, Jr.: You ' re out of order. Voice in the light: Get the Public Service. Kelly: (Getting hysterical) But I demand the floor!! (Strong- Arm Men promptly satisfy this desire. Exit in ambulance.) Bill Rence: The Communist Youth of Pro- viso, headed by Dick Bourgerie, are disrupting our harmonious existence. We ought to elim- inate them. Annie Buick: Call the May wood Pest Exter- minators. Vertuno: I move to postpone the matter in- definitely. The Communists are jolly fellows; in fact they are the life of every party they don ' t attend. Marchi: I move we serve malted milk at the Prom. Hayes: I move we lay it on the table. Marchi: Don ' t do that. The president will drink it when the meeting is over. (Just then the Blue Eagle on King Mc- Queen ' s swearer crows. The senators are brought to the realization of the fact that they are working under the NRA. Since the authors of this drama can ' t wisecrack on NRA any more, the meeting is conveniently adjourned.)

Anyway, she ought to be able to cook. 3. The class intellectual. Bill Rence, chooses medicine as a career ... we earnestly hope he won ' t have as much trouble writing prescriptions as he did scheduling Provi pictures. 4.

A horticulturist ought to have a chance for some quiet thinking, because pansies are for thoughts and daisies won ' t tell. So Roy Fuller might turn out to be one of these big, strong, silent men. Who knows? 12. All God ' s chillun got wings. And Bill Walters is no exception. How that man can run! He wants to be an architect some day. If he keeps up his present pace, he ' ll be building cities overnight. 1 l-3ii 13. Harmony intrigues us! So does piano playing. So how can we help liking Rosa Lee Osburn? She is going to specialize in music. And we ' re all for it — ummm! 14. She ' s one of the most efficient girls we know. She certainly will make a peach of a secretary. Here ' s to you, Charlotte Andermann. We wish you lots of luck. 15. Johnnie Mizen, who has (according to Immel) embroidery stitches in his side, is interested in salesmanship. We wonder what operation of selling he is going to specialize in. 16. Blonde Winnie Whitcombe (she hates to be called Winnifred) also has high hopes in the line of interior decoration. Having no sense of color ourselves, we bow down in awe to ambitious people like her. 17. A good lawyer must be able to con vince the jury. Bill Rodger certainly ought to make a good lawyer. That cute way he has of blushing should surely win over any jury. 18. We feel sure that Lib Riendeau will make a success of teaching. She could silence any roomful of noisy freshmen by just raising her lovely eyebrows. 19. Isabelle Ther will, no doubt, make a name for herself in the art world. But please, no modern stuff! Somehow Man on Horseback and Lady Selling Violets look strangely alike to us. 20. The next war won ' t be nearly as bad as the last one (in our opinion) — Frances Johnson will be one of the nurses. We call that a real break for the boys over there. 21. If Sleepy Pearson uses the same tactics in practicing medicine as he uses in presiding, he ' ll be a great success. He could talk a dying patient into believing he was the healthiest man in the world. 22. Norman Kelly fits our picture of the ideal engineer. He ' s one of these men who doesn ' t say much, but gets a powerful lot done. Don ' t you agree with us? 23. She has the nicest voice. And we hke her smile, too. Everybody knows her. She wants to be a dramatic coach, she says. Need we tell you that her name is Marian Backus? 24. The author of all this (no, Kenny McQueen, she does not dye her hair!) aspires to be a writer some day. We leave the verdict in your hands. Page 1 3 1 Joe, tL TriJe of (Pi rovLso (This poem is the result of the combined efforts of the members of Miss Scott ' s eighth period Enghsh class. It is a commendation of genius.) There was an eighth-grade boy named Joe, An eager lad was he To go on to Proviso High A shining light to be. His folks thought Joe a perfect son, The very best in town. He ' s just like me, his father said. And mother knocked dad down. His grandma and his aged aunt Thought Joe an excellent fellow; Whene ' er a word was against him said, Grandma would rage and bellow. When Joe received his first report ' Twas brought to his attention That he had passed the course he took And made an honorable mention. Now Joe in his second year did think To enter the social whirl; He learned to dance, so he could escort Sweet Lucy, his sophomore girl. The first two years had passed away, Joe was at Proviso yet. To Luce he ' d been as faithful as The day when first they met. And now into his senior year Proud and lofty, he came; He was a football hero, too. And reached the peak of fame. The day of the Senior Prom arrived, And filled with anxious care. He went to call for Lucy dear In order to take her there. With long black robe and sober face His sheepskin he did take; And then into the world he went His fortune for to make. Now Lucy for her love will wait, She ' ll be his inspiration. And when they ' re wed, she ' ll help he Rebuild our hard-pressed nation.

It ' s a man ' s world, they say, but we girls take such an interest in it ! F ' r instance, we go to all the football games and have a heavenly time. The cheer-leader is so cute and the hot dogs are delicious. But goodness, why do the boys play so rough? They wear shoes with enormous spikes on them and then they step all over each other. We feel so sorry for them, especially the one with the blond, curly hair. Somebody told us that the coach makes up all those plays, but we can ' t believe that such a nice man would figure out ways for those poor boys to hurt themselves. We like basketball, too. But how do the boys get that huge ball in those tiny baskets? And why are the baskets all decorated with fish netting? Didn ' t you think last year ' s captain was divine? Now baseball is a nice game. But the boys swat that poor little ball so hard, we ' re terribly sorry for it. The boys aren ' t a bit careful of their uniforms, either, and they fall down and get them so dirty. The coach ' s wife must certainly have to scrub and scrub to get them clean. We saw a wrestling match once and we were so bewildered! The boys got all tangled up and we couldn ' t tell which arms and legs belonged to which. But we had to laugh at the way the boys grunted. Just like little pigs. It ' s fun to watch the swim meets, but the gun they shoot off to start them frightens us to death. But the boys do wear the best-looking robes! We caddied for a boy once but we didn ' t have a bit of fun. He got so angry when we talked, and yet he said some of the awfullest things to that little ball just because it wouldn ' t go in the little hole. Golf is a very silly game, we think. Why don ' t all boys play ping pong? That ' s such a sweet game. But really, we ' re so interested in the world of sports. It ' s so exciting! Page 134 Oe ujkh of aiwre Names , « ' «! ' .
