Prom. The rich, colorful atmosphere of the distinctive Oak Park Club furnished a colorful background for the pleasurable gathering. Under the soft glow of mellow lights, formally-dressed couples enjoyed the evening gliding to soft, dreamy waltzes, and whirling and bobbing to sizzling tangos, and titillat- ing hops. The realization that the end of their four long years of high school life was approaching all too swiftly, awakened many memories in the minds of the Seniors. The time had come to View in retrospect the accomplishments of the members of this worthy group. That the efforts of those whose commendable achievements in scholastic endeavors and in extra- curricular activities might be recognized and hon- ored, the faculty selected the names of the most outstanding Seniors to compose the following para- graphs of Who's Who in the Class of l935. At the end of their lunior year Iune Brunke, Shirley Pine, Rex Horton, Hilda Mahnke, Lora Puscheck, Leo Seren, and Aaron Spolin, by means of outstanding scholastic records earned gold medals, the highest scholastic honor awarded by Proviso. Charles Camp, Yedda Dorf, lane Gustafson, Marian Kel- strom, Ida Litke, Charlotte Popp, Georgine Reay, Florence Rittmueller, Erna Schroeder, Roger Sedg- wick, Elvena Ulrich, and Lillian Young received the same honor in their Senior year.

With undulating rhythm, long lines of Seniors in gray caps and gowns now move slowly forward to the majestic strains of Pomp and Circumstance. After four years of accomplishment the pinnacle of high school achievement has been reached, and youth marches on to face its future. But not without a backward glance of regret and not without a trace of sorrow do these solemn robed figures pass on into a new world. Life in their old world has been kind to them: their days have been filled with beauty and with enjoyment. For them, cherished remembrances alone shall re- main undimmed throughout the years: and, looking a quarter century into the future, they sing, We will see thee in our memory, shining through a golden haze.

League carnival was augmented by the G. A. A. Circus, featuring freaks from all four corners of Proviso. The lmportance of Being Earnest was explained in an amusing English Cabinet play. The delightfully entertaining comedy, The Meanest Man in the World, was skillfully presented by the Senior Class, to the amusement of many Iuniors. ln the middle of the year, nine members of the Class of l935 who had excelled int journalism were chosen to work on the Pageant Staff. Since the be- ginning of the year, already two other Iuniors had been Staff members. With the coming of spring, the annual junior-Senior Prom was held for the first time outside of school in the harmonizing atmosphere of the Oak Park Club. Chosen by the vote of the faculty, ten members of the Class of l935 were inducted into the Proviso Chapter of the National Honor Society of Secondary Schools. Shirley Fine, Keawana Garman, Rex Hor- ton, Donald Leal, Hilda Mahnke, Georgine Reay, Florence Rittmueller, Erna Schroeder, Aaron Spolin, and Muriel Weber were the juniors upon whom this honor was conferred. That the Class of 1935 might be an organized group at the beginning of the Senior year, the Class officers were chosen in the spring. William Iohnson was re-elected as president. Georgine Reay and Loretta Raab were chosen as vice-president and secretary, respectively, and Clifford Clark was elected, for the fourth time, as treasurer. Thus, the activities of the lunior year were concluded. fn a few short months, the members of the Class of l935 returned to the familiar life of Proviso to enter upon the final year of their journey from entrance to commencement. They had reached in their high school life a prominence to which they long had looked forward: now they were Seniors. Football again claimed a major share of interest at the beginning of the year. By raising funds, the Senior Class helped to finance the building of the new Stadium. Floodlights were installed to make night football possible. A highlight of the season Nine Seniors who were elected to membership in the National Honor Society in their junior year: E. Schroeder, H.lVfahnke, S. Fine, R. Horton, D. Leal, M. Weber, G. Reay, K. Gar- man, H. Rittmuellery not in picture, A. Spolin. William Johnson Shirley Fine Dawn Erickson Clifford Clark was the Stadium dedicatory exercises. Speeches by prominent men, parades, stirring band music, and a game between the Chicago Cardinals and the May- wood Athletic Club team were features of the eve- ning. Later on in the year, the basketeers from Marblehead, Mass. journeyed west to be defeated by the Proviso quintet. ln the middle of the year, the l935 Provi Staff was organized. Thereafter, many hectic days and nights were spent in attempting to produce something faintly resembling an annual. That the serious business of publishing a Provi was progressing in earnest, the members of the Senior Class were soon to discover as, one by one, they were forced to sit under glaring lights to meet the cold, critical eye of a camera which was to record their countenances for posterity. An event long to be remembered was Proviso's Silver Anniversary Week. One of the features of this commemoration of especial interest to the Seniors was their presentation of lames M. Barrie's Quality Street. Starred in this romantic comedy of the period of the Napoleonic Wars were Gilbert Daudistel, Georgine Reay, and Erna Schroeder. Soon many friendly social gatherings were enjoyed by the Senior girls when the Girls' League sponsored Good Fellowship Week. Seventy-five Seniors, deemed by the faculty as outstanding in, scholarship, leadership, service, and character, were chosen for membership in the Na- tional Honor Society. A fitting climax to the social activities of the year came in the long-toebe-remembered lunior-Senior u L 'S-A.. 'Jr
