of being one of the finest outdoor athletic layouts in the Chicago area. A new quarter-mile track was built, and the whole field completely fenced, with the parking space at the rear of the new building separated from the athletic field. The installation of flood lights on sixty-foot poles is a major improve- ment that makes possible night football. lllinois Emergency Belief labor was utilized to make many repairs and improvements about the building, including the weather stripping of all the windows in the new building and the converting of unused space in the basement of the old building into a bicycle storage room with a capacity of 600 bicycles. A start was made on beautifying the inner court of the new building with relief labor and the funds left for that purpose by the Class of 1931. With the approval of the Board of Education, Superintendent H. H. Eelkema made many adminis- trative changes during the year. Supervised study within class periods, which were lengthened to sixty minutes, was introduced. By breaking up the former large home rooms into smaller groups, a closer con- tact between the home room teacher and the pupil was made possible. The student body was made cognizant of many school problems through well- organized home room discussions, to which students responded. A revised system of checking and report- ing attendance between home room and classroom teachers was worked out successfully, making it possible for the main office to find any one of the 3,500 students any period of the day. A testing pro- cedure was introduced, calling for departmental examinations at the end of each of the three report periods, as Well as at the end of each semester. More definite standards regarding the number of subjects a student may carry were established, and the requirements for the number of credits to de- termine the class ranking of students were defined. All Proviso students were rated by each classroom teacher on character traits, in addition to scholar- ship. Formerly the only record on file from which inquiries could be answered regarding the capabili- ties of students and their fitness for certain postions was their scholarship record. An expert in vocational guidance was added to the staff the second semester, and a survey was made of the vocational plans of the students and of the opportunities for employment offered in the community. An employment bureau, the aim of which is to gather complete data on all Seniors, is in the process of establishment. These steps were taken for the purpose of making the school serve both students and employers. Other administrative projects were as follows: the extension of physical education courses to comply with state requirements: the addition of new courses in English and, as a class project, the preparation of a student handbook under the supervision of Miss Eileen White: the sponsoring of conferences between the grade schools of the district and the high school: the supervision of a government adult school in which l,000 citizens beyond high school age were enrolled. The Board of Education, Superintendent Eelkema, and the faculty have all shared in helping to make this year one of great progress in the history of Proviso Township High School. ln April, Leslie l. Smith of Forest Park finished his eighth consecutive year of co-operative service as secretary. Those now serving as members of the Board are lohn M. Newcomer, a real estate broker in this community: Leslie B.
