Mm ' V! ■ :-- PROLOOUC PROLOGUE THE PASSING S HOW OF 1935-36 IS PRE- SENTED BY THE PROVI STAFF FOR YOUR PLEASURE, AS WELL AS FOR THE PURPOSE OF PROVIDINC3 YOU WITH A RECORD FOR FUTURE REFERENCE. THE SEQUENCE OF SCENES AND ACTIVITIES WHICH HAVE GONE INTO THE MAKING OF PROVISO SPREADS BE- FORE YOU A CONTINUOUS PANORAMA OF EVENTS. THE SETTING, WHICH INCLUDES THE FIELD, THE FOREST, AND A VARIETY OF INDOOR SCENES, PRESENTS PICTORIALLY THE CHANGING SEASONS. THE ACTORS PLAYING A PART IN THE EVER-CHANGING VARIETY OF SCENES INCLUDE PARENTS, FACULTY, BOARD OF EDUCATION. AND A STUDENT BODY OF AP- PROXIMATELY 3,600. THIS GROUP INCLUDES A WIDE RANGE WITH RESPECT TO AGES AND TYPES, AND IS REPRESENTATIVE OF MANY NATIONALITIES AND MANY COMBINATIONS OF NATIONALITIES. THE ACCOMPLISHMENTS HEREIN RE- CORDED ARE ACCOMPLISHMENTS RESULT- ING FROM THE CO-OPERATIVE EFFORT OF ALL OF THE PARTICIPANTS. THE THEME, WHICH INCLUDES SOCIAL. ATHLETIC, AND CLASSROOM EVENTS, IS INSPIRATIONAL, AND DEPICTS THE WORK IN MUSIC, ART, SCIENCE, ENGLISH, HOME ECONOMICS, MANUAL ARTS, COMMERCE, STENOGRAPHY, LANGUAGES, HIS- TORY, AND OTHER ACADEMIC SUBJECTS. IT REVEALS THE PROGRESS OF DEPARTMENTS AND THE SUCCESSES WHICH HAVE COME TO GROUPS AND TO INDIVIDUAL PARTICI- PANTS, AND PICTURES TO THE UNDERGRAD- UATE THE OPPORTUNITIES AND THE CHAL- LENGES WHICH LIE BEFORE HIM AS GOALS TO EQUAL OR TO SURPASS IN THE FUTURE. THE UNIFYING MOTIF IS THE DEVELOP- MENT AND INSPIRATION OF YOUTH. THE EVENTS HEREIN DESCRIBED TAKE PLACE IN THE SHORT SPACE OF NINE MONTHS, AND ARE ILLUSTRATED IN THREE ACTS, WITH THREE SCENES TO EACH ACT. AS SPEAKER OF THE PROLOGUE, I SOLICIT YOUR INTER- EST AS WELL AS YOUR CONSIDERATION FOR THE PLAYWRIGHTS, THE PROPERTY MEN, THE TECHNICIANS, AND THE LABORERS, WHO HAVE COMBINED THEIR EFFORTS TO PRE- SENT FOR YOU THE PASSING SHOW OF 1935-36. TH E BOARD OF EDUCA- TION Irvin C. Hendrickson B. Leslie Allen Harry W. Eweit Emery A. Parichy John M. Ncwcomei Among the leading actors to appear on the stage in numerous scenes during the Passing Show of 1935-36 have been the members of the Board of Education. Under the presi- dency of Emery A. Parichy until April 15, and of Harry W. Ewert since that date, they have played well their parts in some of the most exacting and strenuous roles of the per- formance. This year ' s Board followed the policy of last year ' s by keeping Proviso on a cash basis. That in itself is a major achievement. Many improvements were made in different depart- ments, in the athletic equipment, and in the physical plant and grounds. The auto mechanics department, formerly equipped with antiquated cars provided by students or parents, underwent a complete rejuvenation. New motors from Ford, Chev- rolet, and Studebaker companies were in- stalled. Three airplane motors were obtained from the government. Some new equipment was added to the stenographic department. So that a check could be kept on materials coming in and going out, a receiving room was established. The cafeteria received a new manager and some new menus. The manual arts department received considerable empha- sis by way of physical improvement. Sound- proofing of the music room is another impor- tant change. This year the janitors wore for the fiirst time smart new uniforms while per- forming their duties about the school. A new modern public address system was installed in the auditorium to replace the old one. Everything possible was done to improve Proviso ' s athletic standing by Superintendent H. H. Eelkema and the Board, since athletics afford the school much favorable publicity which cannot be obtained in any other way. Blue satin suits were supplied to the members of the Varsity football team. Freshman and lightweight squads were equipped with new jerseys. Money was appropriated for the finishing of the under-structure of the sta- dium. This project is expected to be com- pleted by fall. A big step forward was taken when Super- intendent Eelkema and the Board inaugu- rated the text book rental plan. This plan enabled students to rent books at the rate of $1.25 a semester. Throughout the year the standards set by the North Central Associa- tion were complied with so as to keep Pro- viso one of the finest secondary schools in the country. Thus it is that through the co-operation of Superintendent Eelkema, the Board of Education, and the faculty, the year 1935-36 can be recorded in Proviso ' s history as a year of unusual progress. B. Leslie Allen and Irvin C. Hendrickson are the newly elected members of the Board. Mr. Allen is the purchasing agent of the Richardson company of Melrose Park, and is starting his second term as a Board member. Mr. Hendrickson works for the Western Electric company and is the first man to be elected to the Board from Bellwood. Harry Ewert, for twenty-one years connected with the Chicago Board of Trade, replaced as pres- ident of the Board, Mr. Parichy, president of the Parichy Roofing and Shingle company. Forest Park. John M. Newcomer, a real estate broker in this community, is now the secretary. Page 7 y L i i 4 THE ADMINIS- TRATIVE STAFF LEFT TO RIGHT: H. E. Carr. H. A. Graver, Miss Beatrice Yates, C. C. Tag- gart. H. H. Eelkema. Miss Elizabeth B. Oakes, C. W. Failor, Miss Pauline Crocssmann. As an innovation in Proviso. Principal H. H. Eelkema introduced last fall an ad- visory system as part of the administrative work of the school. This system involves the services of the principal himself, of the assistant principal, and of six advisors, three for girls and three for boys. To C. C. Taggart, assistant principal, are delegated the duties appertaining to enroll- ment, to arranging the program, and to what- ever details of an executive nature the prin- cipal may assign to him. Miss Elizabeth B. Oakes, dean of girls for eight years, acts as chairman of the girls ' ad- visors, and is in particular charge of senior and junior girls. Miss Pauline Croessmann and Miss Beatrice Yates are sponsors of the sophomore and freshman girls, respectively. H. E. Carr, sponsor of boys for the past thir- teen years, now supervises freshman boys, and is chairman of the boys ' advisors. Work- ing with him are Harold A. Graver, sponsor for sophomore boys, and C. W. Failor, for junior and senior boys. Each of the advisors is qualified for his work by virtue of his previous experience and training. Miss Croessmann taught for four years in the high school at Du Quoin, 111., was dean of girls for two years at Faribault. Minn., and did personnel work for two years in I. E. R. C. and C. W. A. Miss Yates taught two years in the high school in Corn- ing, la., and five years at Downers Grove, 111., where she acted as assistant dean of girls. Mr. Failor taught in secondary schools in Grant, Osceola, and Grinnell, la.; was direc- tor of guidance for two years at Waterloo, la. : did special research work in the adjust- ment service in New York City for six months, and was an administrator in a C. C. C. camp. Mr. Graver taught two years in the high school in Menominee, Mich., and five years in Sioux Falls, S. Dak. The primary purpose of enlarging the former system, calling for two or three deans, to the present one, calling for six advisors, is to serve more effectively the growing needs of so large a school. One of the most direct means to this end has been the group coun- seling which has been a feature of this year ' s program, and which has given the advisors an opportunity to meet the students in rela- tively small groups, and to give them guid- ance in social, vocational, and health matters, as well as in educational ones. The advisors have greatly facilitated con- tact between parents and the school, to the mutual benefit of both. The whole system has this year met with a degree of success sufficient to assure it a place in the program of Proviso for some time to come. It marks the school as in the front ranks of educative procedure, by placing it with other outstand- ing high schools which have adopted a simi- lar plan.

The optimistic jangle of hundreds of alarm clocks sounds on the ether. Sleepy students roll over in bed, realize that today is Septem- ber 3, the first day of school. Somewhat reluctantly, somewhat eagerly, they converge toward the focus which is Proviso, 3538 strong. Take hundreds of frightened freshmen, ditto sophisticated sophomores, jolly juniors, and superior seniors: mix with a dash of carnival spirit, the joy of meeting last year ' s classmates, a recuperated faculty, and a new slant on life. The result is a perfect pic- ture of the pandemonium which reigns the first day of school. The new year opens with the traditional welcom- ing assemblies. In order to accommodate the increased enrollment, three are held. H. H. Eelkema, superin- tendent, greets the students. The auditorium once more resounds to the hearty strains of America, and On, Proviso. Freshmen gain their first knowledge of Proviso traditions, and upperclassmen renew old first-day customs. New features, new faces, new plans, new year! NEW FEATURES: Good news and happiness attend the marriage of Text Book to Rental Plan, with the hearty approval of Pocket Book. The bride is given in marriage by the matchmaker, the Board of Education, which engineered the whole affair. Under this new plan, students may now rent their texts at the rate of one dollar and a quarter per semester, a fraction of the amount needed to purchase books in former years. A new advisory system has been created. Instead of two deans, there are six advisors in charge of the students. The council consists of H. E. Carr, H. A. Graver, C. W. Failor, Miss Beatrice Yates, Miss Pauline Croessmann, and Miss Elizabeth Oakes. Small group conferences are planned to help the stu- Page dents and the new advisors become better acquainted with each other. The Proviso Blue Book, prepared by last year ' s junior and senior English classes, is distributed to all pupils: every one learns something about Pro- viso ' s standards and ideals he never knew before. Crammed full of the most interesting and accurate Provisoiana a student could wish for, the Blue Book is guaranteed to eliminate such queries as Where is the elevator? and How do I get up to the roof gym? The days of domination over the freshman are fast fading into oblivion, since it is now no longer necessary for him to address his queries to a sophomore. The College Division of Adult Education is begun at Proviso, September 9, with twenty-nine students enrolled. It is hoped that it will develop into a permanent and successful institution. R. W. Marshall, of the history department, is director: J. B. Davis, of the mathematics department, is dean. ADVISORS STANDING: Clarence W. Failor, Harold Graver. H. E. Carr. SEATED: Pauline Croessmann. Elizabeth B. Oakes, Beatrice Yates. 19 WHAT MAKES THE WHEELS GO -ROUND? The auto-mechanics department goes modern in a big way with much new equipment, including motors, lathes, and a new Ford chassis. The boys themselves have fallen victims to that fickle femina. Fashion, and are now wearing new white overalls decorated with their own names in unmistakable characters. A new general course is offered the music-minded by R. Lee Osburn. It will include unison and chorus singing, vocal drill, and elementary theory, and will lead to later chorus work. Mr. Osburn believes this will prove a popular course, and that it will offer very valuable preliminary music training. The landscaping of the inner court has been com- pleted during the summer. Flagstone walks, grassy lawns, bright flowers, and evergreen shrubs make the scene an outstanding attraction of the school. A com- posite plan, embodying the best features of individual ideas submitted by botany students, was used. V. G. Catlin and Miss Grace McAuley, both of the science department, and A. J. Offermann, school custodian. supervised the work, which was financed by a fund left by the Class of 1930. NEW FACES: Sixteen new teachers have been added to the faculty, which now numbers one hun- dred sixteen. The commercial department ' s new instructors arc G. H. Parker, Arthur Krause, A. L. Fry, and Carl Fiske. Miss Charlotte Jackson is the new member of the home economics department: V. C, Lingren, of the science department: Alfred Sabin, of the manual arts department. The six new English teachers are Miss Pauline Croessmann, Miss Beatrice Yates, Miss Virginia Hayward, Miss Beatrice Bonine, who will also teach art, G. F. Haddock, and H. A. Graver. A short time later, Merrill Chris- topherson also joins the English department. Miss Gertrude Grisier will teach girls ' physical education: Selmer O. Storby will coach the varsity basketball team and teach boys ' physical education: H. L. Rider, new mathematics instructor, will also assist with athletics. Principal and Mrs. H. H. Eelkema are at home to faculty and board members on Sunday afternoon. September 1, at 41 6 South Second avenue. May wood. More than one hundred fifty teachers, board mem- bers, and wives take advantage of this opportunity to meet each other again after the long summer vacation, and to greet new members of the faculty. Light re- freshments served by girls of the office force conclude a pleasant afternoon. The cafeteria, formerly under the direction of the administration, receives a new manager in the person of Harry T. Smith. This addition to the business personnel of the school is deemed necessary since other duties of the administration have become more numerous. Forty-three upperclassmen, transplanted from vari- ous high schools, are grafted upon the Proviso tree. Of this number, fifteen are full-fledged seniors, and twenty-eight swell the ranks of the junior class. Real policemen, with shiny brass buttons on their coats, have been stationed at the intersections of Madison and Warren streets with First avenue to aid in handling the heavy traffic and to protect students. Special bulletins to the home rooms emphasize the value of co-operating with the officers to promote safety. NEW PLANS: The Board of Education begins negotiations for improvements early in the year. A WPA application is filed for a project that will com- plete the under-stadium and provide dressing room facilities and a concession stand. New practice fields, tennis courts, and a stadium tunnel are also included in the project. STEPPING STONES Page 20 Activities The limcliglit glows brightly on Proviso as the panorama of various activities begins to unfold. The first organization to get into ac- tion is the Senior Guard. Wearing white dresses and information badges, its mem- bers serve as information bureaus in the halls during the first week of school. It ' s hard to tell just who are the more bewildered, the fresh- men or the Guard girls, in regard to some of the ques- tions hurled at them. The Girls ' League board of directors is announced. Offi- cers for the coming year are: president, June Lueck: first vice-president, May Clement: second vice-president. Lesley McBride: secretary, Betty Young: treas- urer, Dorothy Peters. Lesley is the only junior officer, the rest of the girls being seniors. The committee chairmen are: finance. Gcraldine Rupietta: service. Elsie Dons: friendship, Charlotte Skop- nik: art. Alice Prine: publicity, Pat Hayes: social, Carolyn Fuller: program. Lorna Pollitz. Miss Elizabeth B. Oakes is once more sponsor. Officers of the German club, which meets Septem- ber 10, are: president. Abe Weinberg: vice-president, Leona Fritzler: secretary, Evelyn Lahm: treasurer, Eleanor Noffs. Miss Gertrude Schlueter and Ruben R. Kuster, as sponsors of this club, seek to devise ways of increasing interest in the study of German life, language, and literature. That ace of lucky days, Friday the thirteenth, is redeemed by two lucky events. The Proviso Pageant makes its 1935-36 bow to the public on this day. The well-known Voice of Proviso has a wardrobe of brand new headlines in the ragged style, and sev- eral new and sparkling features. Responsible for the weekly are Carolyn Bludorn and French Hardesty. co-editors: Floyd Leverette, Glenna Miller, James Ostler. Alice Prine, and Edna Ricker, assistant edi- tors: and a flock of more or less enterprising reporters. Bertha Sandro is advertising manager, and Henry Schmidt is in charge of the circulation. Big sisters meet little sisters when the seniors entertain tlie freshman girls at the annual party given by the Girls ' League. Sundry amateurs appear before THE BOARD TAKES TEA BIG SISTERS ON GUARD HOT OFF THE PRESS Radio Mike and King Gong in the auditorium: danc- ing and refreshments follow in the spacious gym. And all on the thirteenth. This party is mother to a brood of parties which the Guard will sponsor for the freshman girls through the year. The Senior Guard is made up of girls who act as big sisters to freshman girls, and help them become acclimated to high school life. Page 21 SENIOR CLASS OFFICERS LEFT TO RIGHT: Maigaret A.

Memories of the venerable old man, who for many years spoke at the Memorial day programs, will long linger in the minds of those who were privileged to hear him. Under the leadership of the newly reorganized Student Council, the monitors get into action the second day of school. One hundred fifty-six student police are patroling the halls during the day, directed by the six period captains: George Flood. Jim Law- lor, Bob Winders, Harry Laatz, May Taylor, and Clarence Schauberger. The familiar cries, Have you gotta slip. ' ' ' Sign here, please, echo through the corridors. The Dial club for vocational guidance meets Mon- day, September 16. New officers arc: president, Alvin Hinrichs: vice-president, Rosemary T. Wiley: secre- tary. Lillian Petraitis: treasurer, Edward Huebner. Faculty sponsors are C. W. Failor and M. M. Finstad. Helping its members to decide wisely upon their voca- tions is the chief aim of the club. More than one hundred aspiring actors of the junior and senior classes try out for membership in the Proviso Players, club for the elite upperclass dra- matists. Spoiled children, old women, big business men. slangy stenographers, smart young esquires, as portrayed by the candidates, make it extremely diffi- cult for the judges to choose the lucky ones. As a result of two stiff try-outs, thirty-two thankful Thespians are admitted to the club, which is spon- sored by Miss Cecil Stark. Photography hounds in all stages of photo-pho- bia get together with Harvey Johnson, faculty spon- sor, for a forest preserve outing on September 23. in the course of which they find many worth-while photographic subjects. Charlotte Olleman. president; Erwin Mertineit, vice-president: Dorothy Cimino, secretary; and Max Cisck, treasurer, are the club officers. Members of the senior class vote almost unani- mously to nominate officers by a committee composed of one member from each home room. Formerly, the petition method of nomination was used.

The atmosphere is tense with good- natured rivalry as polling places are established in senior home rooms, and the election is held. Septem- ber 23 and 25. Plashl Casper, Hayes, Kelly, and Lawlor are voted to victory on the second ballot. George, Pat, Margaret, and Jim will guide the destiny of the Class of 1936 during the coming year. One of the most highly praised pictures of the year is presented at the Lido theatre. September 24 and 25, at the annual Band Benefit, sponsored by the Band Parents ' association. A tale of gay and glamorous pre-war Vienna, Escapade, with Luise Rainer and William Powell, provides delightful entertainment. Proviso ' s 110-piece band appears on the stage with spirited selections twice a day. The result of the project is financially gratifying. A new governing body called the Band cabinet has been created this year. Members are Chester Brosseit, ■William Fuller, Robert Greenwell, Sam Carter, Bruse Moncreifl , Everett Goldman, Dorothy Carver, Ver- non Forgue, and Ruth Burhop. Officers of the Band Parents ' association elected for the coming year are: president, A. J. Forgue: secretary, Mrs. A. J. Knopf: treasurer, Alfred Kilbey: board, Mrs. Clarence Kurz. Leo Smith, G. K. Griesbach, G. E. Brosseit, Dr. Jesse H. ' White, Ray McEvoy, and Mrs. J. G. Scidmore. Parlez-vous Francais? French students admit they do, a little reluctantly perhaps, at the French club initiation on the twenty-fourth. Such pleasant tasks as scrubbing the tiled terrace with a toothbrush amuse initiates and old hands as well. Officers who will be at the helm of the good ship Les Amis du Francais for the coming year are John Magsino, president: Ruby Shaw, vice-president; LaVerne Vanek, secretary: Gordon Longley, treasurer; and James Ostler, sergeant-at-arms. Miss Ada Ross will sponsor the club. ■With Miss Frances Gospill acting as sponsor, the Spanish club elects officers.

On the same day, commercial students form a new club under the direction of Miss Mary Sigworth and E. ' W. Brooks. This Junior Chamber of Commerce has as its oflicers: Norman Zech. president: Alberta Heinrich, vice-president: Rita Spagnola, secretary; Edwin Carlson, treasurer. Page 2 3 INSTALLATION CEREMONY OF HOME ECONOMICS CLUB THESE MAKE HAPPY HOMES An impressive candlelight service is the installation of the Senior Home Economics club officers. White- robed girls, solemnly pledging themselves to high ideals, make this one of the loveliest ceremonies of the year. Miss Lola Pickles is in charge of the club, vi hich has as its officers: Bertha Sandro. president: Joan Holland, vice-president: Elsie Dons, secretary: Elfrieda Weiss, treasurer. Friday, September 27. is a busy day for all Pro- viso. The Student Council elects delegates on this day. Each home room chooses one student to repre- sent it in the Council. The executive board is com- posed of Gerald Bruce, president: James Manton, vice-president; Betty Ann Horton, secretary: George Casper, president of the senior class: and June Lueck, Girls ' League president. Several committee chairmen and class representatives, to be appointed at a later date, will complete this organization. Res Romana, the Latin club, elects new offi- cers: consuls — Jeanette Wynne, Henry Schmidt: aediles — Marion Zielkc, Doris Lundblad, Charles Doherty, Elizabeth Bigi, Bobbie Kranz, Bernice Zars: quaestor primus — Maybelle Olson. Roman life will be studied the first semester, and the history of the toga-ed nation, the second. Sweet music hath charms for dancing Provisoites! Tricky shuffles, hops, and glides make their initial appearance at the first dance of the year, sponsored by the Dial club. The dads of Proviso get together with their sons at a football banquet in the cafeteria. Several stars of the Chicago Bears, chief of whom in local favor is Red Grange, and members of Proviso ' s football team STRIKE UP THE BAND! are special guests on this auspicious occasion on the eve of Dads ' day. As one of the high- lights of the evening ' s entertainment, a sample of the new football equipment, with Pat Patterson in it, makes its bow to the appre- ciative diners. If a theme song were to be chosen for this day, what could be better than Little Men. You ' ve had a Busy Day ? So ends September 27. Senior Hi-Y, the young men ' s high ideal club, calls for recruits. Membership in this organization of junior and senior boys is open to those who are rec- ommended by members of the faculty. Leland Meds- ker, sponsor, will aid Marvin Pries, Donn Logan, Clarence Schauberger, and Bob O ' Dea, officers, in car- rying out the club ' s program. Page 24 The Parnassus club, a group of creative writers, reorganizes and elects officers. Chosen to guide the Muse-ing ones for this year arc Helen Weimer, presi- dent: La Verne Vanck, vice-president: Carolyn Blu- dorn, secretary; French Hardesty, critic and treasurer. Programs of original writings are presented at most of the club meetings, which are held at various homes, under the leadership of Miss Florence I. Otis. By popular request, Manley W, Immel, the little giant, conducts auditions for girl cheer-leaders. The few chosen from the many called arc: Elaine Buch- holz, Murii ' l Bull, Mary Crotty, Alice Evans, June Fausset, Helen MacPhail, and Marjoric Strong. YEE-ee-ay, team! Woody Salins, Pete Pekras, Wally Wright, Larry Ruet, and Marshall Fastcrt will try to hold their ov n against the feminine contingent. With leaders such as these, what crowd and what team wouldn ' t respond enthusiastically? forward to a highly successful season, rivaling last year ' s record of but one meet lost. A new course has been routed following Madison street, Thatcher ave- nue. Washington boulevard, and both sides of the DesPlaines river. An innovation in pep meetings is introduced on the twentieth as all Proviso turns out for a stadium rouser. Gerry Bruce leads the session, which is considerably enlivened by the band, en masse, and cheer-full Mr, Immel and company. The junior varsity makes its debut in a night game with the Leydcn varsity on September 20, losing, 19-0. Several hundred A. E. F. veterans arc present as special guests of the administration. Evidence that they are still fond of a good scrap is shown in the way they cheer for the Blue-and-White on the foot- ball battlefield. o The King of the Campus now enters OpOriS spotlight. While football has always been the most popular sport at Proviso, as another gridiron campaign rolls around, the Board of Education seeks to make the entire community foot- ball-conscious. By inviting various groups to attend Proviso games, the Board strives to increase local interest in the great fall sport. September 13, with the varsity and lightweights meeting York in the opening games of the season, mothers of Proviso students attend as guests. While the heavies drop their opener, 6-0, the lights have little trouble in winning, 25-0. Mother ' s first lesson in football is therefore rated a 50-50 success, thanks partly to the broadcasting of Manley W. Immel. Training for cross-country begins on Monday, September 16, with Coach H. G. Monilaw as the guiding spirit. The thin-clad harriers are looking MANLEY AT THE MIKE HEADS up: a series: Page 25 HAIL. HAIL. THE GANG ' S ALL HERE Saturday, September 21, sees both varsity and lightweight squads traveling to Downers Grove. The big fellows manage to slip through for their first triumph, 7-6, and the bantams win, 19-0. In the Suburban League opener, on September 28. before a crowd of dads, the heavies and the frosh- sophs both lose to New Trier. In their initial appear- ance of the season, the yearlings are stampeded. 19-0. The varsity drops a heartbreaker, 13-6, as New Trier scores in the last minute of play, to begin an unbroken string of victories. The heavies go big time in the same game, sporting the tops in new football equipment. Blue and white, form-fitting, gen-u-wine silk pants, unique in high school football, make their debut. New helmets, blue and white jerseys, and new shoes and socks complete the ensembles. On the same day the jay-vees and the lights both win. Matte ' s charges trip Oak Park, 7-0, while the midgets tri- umph over Maine. 6-0. L. W. Remlcy is the heavyweight football coach, assisted by Chuck Kassel, S. O. Storby, and O. H. Matte. Herman L. Rider is handling the frosh-sophs: Fred J. Hatley, the lightweights: and Mr. Matte, the junior varsity. The former heavyweight football coach, Louis F. Slimmer, has been made athletic director, and will devote his time exclusively to intra- mural sports. Intramural managers for boys ' sports are elected in the home rooms the second week of school. They will organize the home room teams, collect entry fees, in- form the players of the schedule, and keep a record of all games played, reporting the results to Athletic Director Slimmer. The first activity of the girls ' physical education department is the annual physical examination of all girls, conducted during the first two weeks of school. Dr. C. M. Weinberg, examining physician, reports that the girls are in a better condition of health than in any previous year. Largely as a result of this examination, they are divided into three groups; regular gym. restrictive gym. and hygiene classes. This method of classification assures each girl of physical education work that is correct for her. Freshman girls are guests of the Girls ' Athletic association at the annual picnic, held at Thatcher ' s wood on September 19. Wieners and other good things to eat are rapidly devoured. An assembly held September 12, in the auditorium, had introduced G. A. A. activities to freshman and sophomore girls. Jennie Hess, president: June Radke, vice-president: May Taylor, secretary: and Beatrice Miller, treasurer, urge them to participate in sports. Miss Mary Wheeler is faculty sponsor of the association. September 27 begins the first week of after-school sports. Seven hundred twenty-five girls turn out for hockey, life saving, tap dancing, or soccer, under the respective supervision of Miss Mary Wheeler, Miss Eva Eddy, Miss Dorothy Jackson, and Miss Gertrude Grisier. Eighty-five girls dive into life saving: eighty hockey stars take to the field: two hundred fifty aspiring Ruby Keelers. Eleanor Powells, et al. go tapping on opportunity ' s floor: and the rest of the seven hundred twenty-five are kicking the ball around out on the soccer field. The curtain falls on the first scene of the Passing Show of 1935-36. September has indicated the time, the place, and some of the leading characters of the great three-act drama.

The National Youth Administration is providing aid for eighty-two Proviso students. This federal relief meas- ure is assisting worthy young people to continue their high school education. They work twenty hours a month, not more than three hours any day, as stenographers, office boys, and general aids. The wage allotment is six dollars a month for the full twenty hours. Bryan J. Wagner is the faculty mem- ber in charge. The College Division is approved by the Federal government also, and is thus made eligi- ble to receive aid for its needy students. A complete record of all Proviso graduates since 1898 is being made under the supervision of R. W. Marshall, of the history department. This informa- tion, filed in a card index, will come in handy at the time of the annual home-comings and special reunions. One of the most important faculty functions of the year is held in the social room on the evening of October 10 for the purpose of welcoming the new teachers into the faculty fold. Principal and Mrs. H. H. Eelkema. Board members and their wives, and the new teachers themselves form the receiving line. Mrs. Emery Parichy and Mrs. Harry Ewert preside at the table. The library has proved to be such a popular before-school spot that students are now required to present a regular slip for admittance. This should assure peace and calm to those who come to study in the zone of quiet. A staff of about thirty stu- dent monitors and pages assists in the management of the library. Their duties include collecting library slips, and collecting, shelving, and mending books. LIBRARY STAFF TOP ROW: C. Frillmann. L. Bacall. L. Greenwcll. N. Balkan, G. Simonov. B. Bythcll. I. Sisco.

Page 31 JUST NOT THE TYPE E LN THE WOOD WILL LL ' RN DINNER AT EIGHT AS YE SEW, SO SHALL YE RIP Those messengers of gladness or despair, report cards, are handed out on the fourteenth. While most of the cards stick by a black and yellow color scheme, a few of the more radical ones make a departure to red decorations. Three hundred eleven students earn Honor Roll rating. Freshmen who receive this rating are presented their pins at a special meeting called by Miss Florence Williams, class sponsor. Open House, formerly sponsored by the P.-T. A., makes its first appearance under the banner of the Board of Education on the night of October 23, when the entire cast assembles for this super-colossal feature. Perplexed, pleased, and proud parents roam the big building, getting a bona fide student-sigh view of the school in full swing. Harried, heckled, and helpless studes, on their best behaviors and in their best attire, perform nobly and then again not so nobly before an audience equally as perturbed as they. Thursday ' s first and second period classes, including gym and study hall, are held. Visitors inspect, among other attractions, library, kitchens, cafeteria, social room, and heating plant. After school is over, Lew Fonseca, former manager of the Chicago White Sox and pres- ent publicity director of the American league, gives his famous illustrated baseball lecture in the thronged auditorium. Time out for Provisoites on the twenty-eighth, as all teachers must go to the annual meeting of the Lake Shore Division of the Illinois State Teachers ' associ- ation. Have you a little secretary in your room. ' ' The answer is. Yes. Under a new plan devised by Princi- pal Eelkema, each class that meets has its own stu- dent-secretary, who helps the teacher in matters of attendance and other details which may require assist- ance. This plan is intended to develop the student body by giving greater responsibility to its individual members. The secretaries, chosen by teachers or class- mates, assemble October 29 for their first meeting to hear their duties explained by the principal. Each secretary is to receive an identification card bearing the official seal of Proviso, and signed by his class teacher and Mr. Eelkema. The service given by the secre- taries may be listed for recognition in senior statistics in the Provi. The northeast corner of the athletic field, site of the proposed tennis courts, is being filled in with dirt coming from the tunnel excavation being made under Washington boulevard. It won ' t be long now until ' Tove-30 and various other tennis terms will be put to use. Brand new black-and-yellow safety signs have been placed on First avenue to help eliminate the danger of accidents on this busy thoroughfare. Page 32 PROVI EDITORIAL STAFF lain. A. Prine. M.

Trips to points of interest in Chicago, forums on vocational and club activities, and speeches by eminent home economists are reported by the fourteen Proviso girls who were in attendance. Flash! 1935 Provi wins Ail-American rating, with highest score ever made by a Provi. The blue and silver annual is rated excellent. It is the second Provi to win this award. Flash again! Miss Florence I. Otis, supervisor of publications, announces the editorial staff of the 1936 Provi.

Miss Louise Porch is the faculty sponsor. An important link in the chain of Girls ' League activities is forged on October 2, when the League representatives meet with Miss Elizabeth Oakes to learn their duties for the ensuing year. One girl from each home room is elected to this position; she is its official Girls ' League representative, and collects dues and otherwise assists in transacting League business for her room. Twenty-five members are admitted to the sacred portals of the Sophomore Dramatic club, after weath- ering successfully two trying try-outs. The club offi- cers are; president, Neal Balkan; vice-president, Harry Abbott; secretary, Ruth Marcus: treasurer, Marian Robb: assistant treasurer, Richard Andrews.

An honor assembly for freshmen held October 9 proves to be the ideal way in which to show them the ins and outs of the Proviso scholarship system. Vari- ous faculty members give short talks on the value of scholarship, and students who earned medals last semester are awarded them. A total of 109 medals — 26 silver, 80 bronze, and 3 gold — are given. Fifty- one of these medals were won on perfect seal records. MIGHTY MEN OF MAINTENANCE Page 34 P.-T. A. BOARD STANDING: Mr. H. H.

Vocational guidance is being stressed at Proviso this year; these broadcast-hearings are only a part of the program planned by the advisors to aid students in selecting their vocations wisely. Individual conferences may be had with Mr. Failor, and a great variety of vocational literature is available in the office of the boys ' advisors. Inside information on two of the most interesting vocations. Diesel engineering and costume designing, is obtained at the first vocational guidance conference, October 21, directed by Mr. Failor.

The Senior Senate, in congress assembled, chooses the class rings and pins. Every period a crowd of the lofty ones collects in front of the case where the class insignia are exhibited, and gazes longingly, or other- wise, thereat. A practically fool-proof, revised monitor system is presented for discussion by the traffic committee of the Student Council, as a step toward making Proviso a school of government of the student, by the student, and for the student. J. W. Hinds and Miss Pauline Crocssmann are the faculty advisors to the traffic com- mittee. A definite attempt is being made to select only the better type of student for the monitor posts. Bul- letins of information for the monitors, as well as for the rest of the students, are distributed through the home rooms. The checker-ed careers of several students are revealed at the initial meeting of the Chess and Checker club, October 8. John Honquest, Robert Mather, Leona Drobena, and Arnold Madiol, as offi- cers, and F. W. Baer, as sponsor, will see to it that no one makes a wrong move.

Adrian BuU- ington will sponsor the club. WHOSE LITTLE GHOST ARE YOU? Page 37 sports Friday night. October 4, is Chamber of Commerce night at Proviso. Business men are guests of the school, as the J.-V. ' s play Lockport to a 1-7 tic. Provisoites are treated to the sight and sound of the first girl cheer- leaders Proviso has had in several years. Cheer-coach Immel hopes that the masculine fans will be enthusi- astic in yelling for or at the fairer sex. Before the game a light scrimmage by several Hi-Y boys garbed in fairy veils and miscellaneous apparel provides entertainment. The next day sees the heavies and frosh-sophs journey to Waukegan to do battle with the newest addition to the Suburban league. But the locals return with heavy hearts, for the varsity suffers a bitter one-point defeat. 7-6. The freshmen are beaten, too. their score being 24-12. On the night of the eleventh, the lightweights drop their first game of the year to Oak Park, 13-7. But on the morrow the varsity accomplishes that which several teams before it have failed to do. In a battle more thrill-packed than a ride on a first-class roller coaster, a team of eleven fighting players takes the measure of the Evanston Wildkits , beating the 1934 champs, 10-7. Steve Mizen enters the portals of Proviso ' s Hall of Fame for all time by kicking a spectacular 35-yard field goal with a finesse beautiful to behold, to win the victory for the valiant Blue- and-White warriors. And just to add to the triumph, Saturday evening the junior varsity wallops Elgin, 20-0, as half-a-thousand alumni attend as guests. Sponsored by the physical education departments. directed by Miss Mary Wheeler and Louis F. Slim- mer, and participated in by some six hundred stu- dents, a fall Field day is offered to the public, on October 18. Since gym classes cannot be conducted in the regular way on the night of Open House, parents and friends are invited to inspect the inside working of the phys. ed. dept. on this previous date. After parading around the athletic fields, teams selected from the gym classes compete against each other in various sports.

The team from Room 219 wins the sophomore title by whipping the one from 217. The week-end of October 19 sees all four of Pro- viso ' s teams victorious. Home-coming alumni watch a clicking varsity machine crush Deerfield, 27-7, The frosh-sophs chalk up their first victory of the -LOYAI lY UNDYING ' BLOCK THAT KICK!

' s trim Elmhurst, 8-0. Three of the squads enjoy a vacation on the twen- ty-sixth, but the junior varsity travels to Crystal Lake, where it engages in a scoreless encounter. During October, intramural sports, supervised by Athletic Director Slimmer, get under way in four different fields. Intramurals are to be featured this year, in the hope that many more boys will partici- pate in athletics. Horseshoe pitching acquires unusual prominence, as the following forge to the fore: Freshman — Iverson and Johnson — 113 Sophomore — Puinto and Otte — 207 Junior — Dalino and Dedrick — 280 Senior — Dietz and Fahr — 226 Splashers to victory in the swimming tourna- ment are: 40-Yard Free Style — Canevello, Dietz, Oakes 40-Yard Back Stroke — Smith, Luebker, Oakes 40-Yard Breast Stroke — Smith, Oakes Relay — Canevello, Dietz, Wolff (Room 284) Where ' s Elmer? At the top in Proviso golf. In the golf tournament directed by U. C. Foster, Elmer Batterman, a freshman of Room 70, wins the school championship. Ed Barta, 217, takes the sophomore title, and Art Heidorn, 227, the junior. Ed Schwcrin, 243. is the senior champ. October brings the customary lot of cross-country meets, as the Blue-and-White thin-dads vanquish many foes. Maine, Austin, Evanston, Waukegan, and LaGrange fall behind the fleet feet of Proviso ' s Mercuries. The Tri-State cross-country meet at Janesville. Wisconsin, lures the harriers on October 26. The team finishes in sixth place as Washington High of Milwaukee wins the event. Essig, first of the locals to cross the finish line, comes in twelfth. Battles rage fast and furious on Proviso ' s fields as the freshman and sophomore girls engage in a soccer tournament, October 4 to 11. Competition is keen and keener as teams representing the various home rooms clash in the first intramural activity of the year. Game by game, day by day, the weak sisters are eliminated, and at last the finals are reached. In tense, tight games, the sophomores of Room 102 defeat those of Room 220 by a score of 2-0: and the freshmen of Room 30 vanquish those of Room 24 by the same score. After many bitterly fought contests, the laurel wreaths rest on the right heads, and con- centration is shifted from soccer to other sports. Miss Mary Wheeler, head of the girls ' physical education department, resigns as sponsor of the G. A. A. Miss Eva Eddy of the same department is the new sponsor. ■HOLD everything: il: ' ivf ' jiiij FIGHT. FIGHT, BLUE AND ' WHITE! Page 39 ON, PROVISO! o 9- ' ?

S i s M SOPHOMORE GIRLS ACT AS SUNSHINE PALS NOVEMBER After successfully running the plank of numerous hair-raising Halloween parties, Proviso students hit the deck to begin November activities with renewed vigor. An art service section, supervised by Miss Wilhel- mina Marm. is now in full swing. This group, com- posed of advanced students, does art service work for the different departments, making posters, and work- ing on the Provi. High school principals from six suburban schools are guests of H. H. Eelkema and Proviso at an annual luncheon, November 5. Girls of the Home Economics department prepare and serve the meal. Beginning November 6, all students are required to have driving permits from the office if they wish to DOLLING UP THE DOLLIES drive their model-tees, or what have you, during lunch periods. Armistice day is celebrated as a holiday by Proviso. On the Friday previous to the eleventh, a special bul- letin prepared by R. W. Marshall of the history department explaining the true meaning and promise of Armistice day. is read in all the home rooms. Students and teachers alike rise and face the east for one minute. Thanksgiving recess begins November 27, a fact for which we are truly thankful. Meanwhile, outside Proviso all has not been so gay. November turns out to be one of the cloudiest months on record, the sun showing his face only a very few times. But Progress, if not the sun, con- tinues its forward march, as the new eagle of the sky, the China Clipper, makes its initial flight. A new era of transportation and communication begins. ArflviflPQ Sunshine Pal week, sponsored by the Girls ' League, begins October 28. Each resident of the Baptist Old People ' s Home has a sophomore girl for a pal. Mysterious communications and small gifts keep the air vibrant with suspense. Then on the evening of November 1 , the climax arrives, with a party at the home, when each girl meets the person to whom she has been writing. Eighteen deserving little dolls are taken in hand by the Girls ' League members, and clothed in the likeness of the girl on the Anti-Tuberculosis Christmas seals. After being exhibited in window displays, they will be taken to the Cook County hospital. Page 47 The local tongue-lashers whip Downers Grove, 2-1, in the season ' s first debate, November 1. Sub- ject? Well, here goes: Resolved, that the several states should enact legislation providing for a system of complete medical service available to all citizens at public expense. Webber McFadden, ' 37, and Robert Skallerup, ' 38, coached by Paul Street, represent Proviso. An Achievement club, whose purpose is to help students attain awards in stenography and typing, is formed under the direction of Miss Jessie Seaver and E. W. Brooks. The club officers elected are: Bruno Salvatori, president; Adeline Belluomini, vice-presi- dent; Eleanora Esposito, secretary; and Elsie Edel- man, treasurer. That martyr-to-the-cause look is taken out of storage by seniors, who visit the photography sample display the week of November 4-11. Three studios are showing their wares, and the high and mighty ones tremble, anticipating the dreaded ordeal of pitcher-taking. Each senior may select the studio he prefers to honor with his patronage. The Historians, a club for United States history students, elects the following officers at the November 12 meeting: president, Roy Sykora; vice-president. Marion Bakewell: secretary, Jean Staup; treasurer. Norman Thomas. Miss Amy Barnum is sponsoring the club this year. Proviso and Oak Park girls seek to walk in ' Divine Pathways at the annual Inter-church conference, held November 15, 16, and 17. Frances Mittelstead. vice-president, and Betty Young, secretary, are the Proviso girls honored with offices. At the same time. boys from the Oak Park-Proviso district assemble for their own Inter-church conference. The two themes of the conference are How to Be Successful in Get- THE WINNER: WEBBER THE BOOK HOUSE ting Along with People and Choosing a Voca- tion. Invited members of the masculine sex learn all the intricacies of balancing tea cup, plate, and spoon at the first Girls ' League tea dance. Rumor has it that several boys even catch on to the trick of extracting loaf sugar with the treacherous tongs. Book week, November 17-22, is again conducted by the English Cabinet, the themes being Reading for Pleasure and The Care of Books. Bookmarks bearing the famous Emerson quotation, ' Tis the good reader that makes the good book, are distrib- uted to the student body. In a contest to select the most popular book, The Call of the Wild is voted the favorite. A poster contest, also sponsored by the Cabinet, is won by Raphael Weber. ENGLISH CABINET STANDING: M.

' Clicking castanets herald the initiation of several painfully embarrassed members into the Spanish club — but it ' s all in fun. After undergoing this rigorous ceremony, the members enjoy a soothing program which features the Vanek sisters. Arlene and LaVerne. Sec, see, senoritas. ' ' Who wouldn ' t? A snappy model of a Stinson plane, the gift of Joe Sarny, ' 39. is now hanging in the library. Joe made this tan and yellow plane with a five-foot wing spread, and has created other planes which were recently on display in the show case at the First ave- nue and Madison street door. The mysteries of the tower room open for the members of the Radio club. These boys must pass a written examination on the fundamentals of radio be- fore they are admitted. Officers for the first semester are Edwin Valenta, president: Clarence Carlson, vice- president: Clarence Ruffer, secretary: Nicholas Kafka, treasurer. D. B. Appleton sponsors their activities. Girls ' League tea-goers are pleasantly entertained on the eighth by Mrs. Don Kennett, Proviso graduate and assistant director of the Jack and Jill players of Chicago. Mrs. Kennett tells the experiences she has had with this dramatic group. When she was editor of the 1928 Provi, she was Pearl Roos. Miss Ada Ross, who completed work for her mas- ter ' s degree by spending last semester abroad, shows films of France to Proviso ' s French classes during the week of November 8. Ancient cathedrals, the palace of Versailles, and other spots of interest are pictured and described by Miss Ross. The freshman class puts its most worthy into the fray, and the following are elected to offices: presi- dent. Earl Brown: vice-president, Joyce Goodfellow; secretary, Eleanor Rush: treasurer, George Kaspar. The Forum conducts an election in novel form. Since the purpose of the club is to keep its members informed about current topics, all those wishing to become candidates for office must give a speech on some definite modern problem or situation. The members, after hearing all the speeches, vote for those who in their estimation rank highest. Lauren Wispe is elected to the presidency after this harrowing cam- paign: Rosemary Wiley, vice-president, and Webber McFadden, secretary-treasurer, receive the remaining offices.

Monsieur and mademoiselle certainly must know their language if they expect to enjoy their club meetings. One-two-three, one-two-three. chants the class in social dancing. In an attempt to eliminate com- pletely wallflowers of both sexes from the school garden, Miss Mary Wheeler organizes a class to cultivate in the bashful ones the secret of growing graceful. But the class is so swamped — 320 studes turff out for it — that separate groups for boys and for girls are organized. After a period of preliminary instruction, the two classes will meet together, and the newly-acquired dancing prowess will be tried out. Money, the Blind Spot of Science, is the subject of a talk given by A. Lawren Brown on the twenty- first of November. Money management, he points out, should be learned by all of us, if we are to prevent any more major depressions like the one which is now in session. Gerald Bruce and Ted Groenke, ace debaters on Proviso ' s championship squad, accompanied by Mr. Street, travel to Urbana to take part in an exhibition contest on November 22. Technical points in debat- ing are presented by those who participate. The orchestra, under the direction of Wallace Nel- son of the music department, presents the first of a series of winter concerts on Sunday afternoon, No- vember 24. Featured by the 87-piece organization NELLEN WITH BASSOON are From the Western World, by Dvor ak; Blos- som Time, Selections, by Romberg; and Parade of the Wooden Soldiers, by Jessell. Paul Nellen. ' 37, is honored by election to the Chicago Business Men ' s Symphony. After playing, by sight, the bassoon part for the Sixth Symphony of Tschaikowsky in a commendable manner, Paul is chosen to play the first assistant chair position in the bassoon section of the metropolitan organization. This is an unusual honor, as the symphony very sel- dom uses high school players. Faint, but unmis-steak-able aromas, floating out from the kitchenette, announce that the Senior Guard is having itself a steak fry. As if the steak were not enough, the Guard girls, who believe in doing things up right, also consume quantities of potato chips, buns, pickles, ice cream, cookies, and tea. And they call it a steak fry! At this meeting Charlotte Skop- nik is chosen chairman of the Guard, and Agnes O ' Rourke is named secretary. Miss Elizabeth B. Oakes is the sponsor. L. Marcus. P.

Mark Twain, to be celebrated on November 30, is observed a little ahead of time at Proviso because of the Thanksgiving recess. In the week preceding this date, English classes throughout the school devote part of their time to anecdotes of his life and discus- sions of his career, as a tribute to the creator of Tom Sawyer and Huckleberry Finn. Members of the junior class enjoy themselves at the first class get-together just before school adjourns for the Thanksgiving vacation. A special dance orchestra, organized by Mr. Nelson, furnishes the necessary rhythm. As no party would be complete without eats. ice cream and cake are served to those in attendance. Carrying out the ancient truth that it is more blessed to give than to receive, Proviso students again donate the annual Thanksgiving baskets to the needy families of Proviso township. Through the home rooms more than one hundred sixty-five baskets are gaily decorated and filled with appetizing food. On the day before the big holiday, the colorful baskets and delicious edibles are distributed under the direc- tion of the Student Council service committee, glad- dening the hearts of givers and receivers alike. To quote from the Pageant: Several hearts were raised from the deepest depths, and many futures were changed from ebony to gold when Thanksgiving baskets were distributed to needy families in the township by Proviso students. Although it was a gloomy day in reality, it was changed to a sunshiny realm spiritually. Many who had entirely given up the thought of having anything like a typical Thanks- giving day changed their minds before the after- noon was over. The baskets, which were adorned in an array of hues, were gathered before delivery in the social room, filling the floor. People might have wondered whether all the grocery stores in the community had sold out, and carried their goods to Proviso: such was the abundance of food. SING WITH GLADNESS A SONG OF THANKSGIVING ' Page 52 ■•BEAT OAK PARK! ' Sports To reward the winning teams and to encourage the also-rans to do a little bet- ter in the future, an intramural assembly for girls is held November 1. Championship ban- ners are presented to Rooms 102 and 36, the winners in the soccer tournament. Helen Cesario. manager of Room 30. and Clara Schillace, captain of Room 102. accept the spoils on behalf of their teams. The first of its kind to be held, this assembly is deemed successful because of the attention and enthu- siasm on the part of freshman and sophomore girls. The eighteenth of November ushers in the indoor season of girls ' athletics. Basketball, creative dancing, and life-saving are to be the sports of the next eight weeks. Girls are practicing guarding, shooting, and passing: hopping, skipping, and jumping; diving. swimming, and rescuing. The intramural program that was begun with the soccer tournament last month is to be carried over into several other activities. The cross-country squad ends its fall campaign by placing in the annual Suburban League tournament held this year at Waukcgan on November 2. The meet is won by the host, Waukegan, whose runners cop the first three places. The next three positions, four. five, and six. are captured by Proviso runners, San Filippo, Fowler, and Kmet, respectively. November 1 brings a double-header of night foot- ball, with lightweights and junior-varsiteers mixing with Morton and Lindblom. respectively. The ponies whip their Suburban league rivals for the second time this season. 19-6. Unleashing a powerful running attack, the J.-V.

Spirit for the Oak Park game is at fever pitch the night before the renewal of hostilities. A gigantic bonfire is presided over by members of the Senior Hi-Y and the boy cheer-leaders. Cheers, songs, and pep abound, as Oak Park. in the form of a football dummy, is thrown on the fire and roasted. Fifteen hundred student snake-dancers, stamping and chant- ing Beat Oak Park! weave their way through the main streets of the two villages. Comes the day of the big game. Gloom pervades the atmosphere as a drizzling rain attempts to dampen the spirits of the largest crowd of the season. Blue and white Sport-a-Fethers, sold by the Pageant staff, do their best to add a note of color to the dreary scene. But the gloom ' persists as the heavyweight war- riors, putting up a courageous fight, are beaten by the Parkers ' third-quarter touchdown, 6-0. The frosh- sophs and junior varsity players also bow their heads in bitter defeat, the former. 7-0: the latter. 13-0. The only really cheering note of the day is furnished by the lightweight eleven, which trims Oak Park, 6-0, securing ample revenge for an early season defeat. And thus the Oak Park games write Finis to another gridiron record, as well as to the prep football careers of a number of Proviso athletes. As fall gives way to winter. Proviso interests turn from football to basketball. Coach S. O. Storby. new to Proviso ranks, is to supervise production of a first- class cage machine. He has ample material to work with, for half a dozen veterans are returning from last year, and new prospects are promising. The varsity opens the season successfully, defeating an alumni quintet. 24-20, on November 1 9 in a benefit for the Needy Student fund. The next two games are runaways, for Bensenville is trimmed, 44- 12, on November 22, and York, 41-15, five days later. PROVISO LOYALTY SONG On. Proviso! On. Proviso! Fling your colors high!

Wintry winds, fairy snows, and brittle cold snaps are destined to take leading roles in the external atmosphere of our play. As the gay holiday whirl approaches, the school year becomes even more full and interesting. Several minor subject-changes to take effect next semester are announced by C. C. Taggart, assistant principal. Industrial geography is to be divided into two related semester cour ses: first semester, commer- cial geography: second semester, physical geography. Credit will be given for either semester ' s work. Vo- cations, formerly strictly a freshman subject, is open to sophomores. Auto theory is lengthened from a semester course to a full year, to allow for laboratory periods. Advanced bench is also extended to a year. Political science, Central and South American history. and Far Eastern history are semester history courses available. Guaranteed to please any parents are the annual Christmas letters which the principal sends to the homes of outstanding students. Each teacher is asked to name not more than five pupils who excel in service and personality. Every student who is recom- mended by at least two teachers is put on the list, and a congratulatory message is sent to his parents. After considerable delay, the WPA project for the completion of the under-stadium is approved by Pres- ident Roosevelt and put into the hands of the comp- troller of currency. Allocation of funds is expected soon. The improvements earlier proposed will com- plete the project, and make Proviso ' s one of the most up-to-date high school stadia in the country. A tunnel from old building to stadium is planned, in order to make dressing room facilities available for basketball games. MILWAUKEE, HERE WE COME TEA-ING OFF ArfivifiPQ Mothers and members of the P.-T. A. board and of the Board of Education are guests of the Senior Home Economics club girls at their Christmas meeting, December 4. A program in keeping with the season is presented, after which guests may in- spect the welfare work the club has done, which is on exhibition. The club gathers discarded clothing, has it cleaned, and repairs it. Members sew new clothes, also, from cloth donated to the club. Needy students are brought to the club sponsor by the class advisors and given suitable clothing. Coats, both boys ' and girls ' , dresses, blouses, neckwear, shoes, shirts, and collars are among the many items the club has pre- pared for less fortunate students. As a fitting climax to the afternoon, tea is served at a table attractively decorated in the Christmas tradition. All the thrills of a convention in a big city away from home are experienced by Carolyn Bludorn, French Hardesty, Helen Weimer, and John Winter, senior journalism students, who, with their instruc- tor. Miss Florence I. Otis, attend the National Schol- astic Press association meeting in Milwaukee, Wis- consin, December 6-7. Miss Otis conducts a round table on The Annual as an Exponent of the School. At the banquet on Friday evening, she is honored as a pioneer of journalism in the high school, having taught this subject more than fifteen years. Round tables, general meetings, the banquet, the dance, and the trip in French ' s faithful Chevvie will long remain as pleasant memories of the convention. ' Pink and Patches, the story of a poor mountain girl and her love of beautiful things, is enacted by members of the Proviso Players for a Girls ' League assembly, December 6. Betty Hutter, Edward Page, Ruth Grodsky, and Livia Hesselbarth are the actors whose performances make this one of the year ' s finest assemblies. Page 61 PROVISO PLAYERS IN ' PINK AND PATCHES ' December 6 brings the first league basketball game as the varsity and frosh-sophs from Morton pay Proviso a visit. Both games are whiz-bang affairs, but fate plays on the side of the Cicero boys. The two contests are won by Morton, but only by the smallest of margins. Even with Steve Mizen scoring ten coun- ters, th e Blue-and-Whites lose by three points. 29-26. The yearlings come even closer to victory, taking it on the chin, 21-19. Soft lights and sweet music make a memorable evening for the choir and its guests as they dance away the hours and their cares at the choir dance, December 6. The lovely social room becomes a ball- room for these music students and their friends at their first social event of this year. Refreshments and entertainment add to the perfect evening. On Wings of Song the audience at the Sixteenth Annual Choral concert is carried along by choir, junior-senior chorus, orchestra, and the golden voice of Miss Henrietta Kracalik, Proviso, ' 32. Long regarded as one of the year ' s finest concerts, this lives up to its established reputation. Miss Kracalik is an accomplished soloist, having won high praise in the Chicagoland Music Festival for the past two years. There is a Santa Claus! Anyway , that ' s what the Senior Hi-Y would have every one believe. The club issues a call for toys from the student body; any kind of toys will do. Those that need repairing will get attention from the club members, who will see that they are delivered to the children ' s ward of the Cook County hospital in time for Christmas. Coach Matte ' s swimming team makes a splashy debut against Evanston on the ninth. Winter, Bau- mann, Sisson, and Martens lead their mates to a 47-19 triumph. Several interesting events occur on the twelfth of December to make that an unusually memorable day. A ' little sister tea is given by the Senior Guard, whose big sister members each invite a freshman girl as guest. After a short program by the fresh- men. Miss Oakes reads Lloyd Douglas ' s famous Christmas story, Precious Jeopardy. Tea is served from a table decorated with a tiny illuminated tree. Dr. F. D. Slutz. well-known educator from Day- ton, Ohio, speaks to two assemblies on the same day At the first assembly his topic is Am I Getting an Education. ' ' : at the second, he explodes Five Favor- ite Fictions. Dr. Slutz also speaks Thursday evening at the second Parent-Teacher meeting of the year. He was the Commencement speaker for the Class of 1935. Himself a parent, he discusses the respon- sibilities of parenthood with authority, and stim- ulates his hearers to a keener appreciation of their opportunities. DR. F. D.

The Pageant staff takes a last gorgeous fling, and throws itself a banquet on that night. Editors, scribes, and columnists prove that they eat just like normal people, even if they don ' t act normal all the time. And what a help is the candid camera in proving this point! And who said candid ? (Con- fidential: Bob Barth. with a perfectly good dinner as his reward, took a picture of the staff in the process of consuming food, which was so candid that the Pageant staff bribed the Provi staff not to use the wretched thing.) SAY AH! Dancing and refreshments, the mainstays of any party, are among the attractions at the sophomores ' first social afl air. December 13. Under the direction of Miss Pauline Croessmann and Harold A. Graver, head sponsors of the class, a series of home-room parties has been worked out for the up- and-coming sophs. Each home room will have at least one party during the year, some parties combining two rooms, so that sophomores may broaden their acquaint- ance among classmates. Mem- bers of the sophomore coun- cil assist in making arrange- ments for all affairs. They plan to make the year an eventful one for those who are members of the Class of 1938. so that memories of it shall be happy ones.

A merry round of parties heralds the holiday sea- son, as Proviso clubs instil the Christmas spirit in their members. Both the Dial club and the Junior Home Economics club hold Christmas parties on December 16. Tap dancing, vocal numbers, and readings make up the programs. A Bavarian Christ- mas, a play in German dialogue, is presented at the annual Christmas party of the German club. A lighted tree on the stage adds to the atmosphere pro- duced by the singing of Stille Nacht and other traditional holiday songs.

Another job in the way of playing Santa Claus is taken care of by those senior students who volunteer to trim trees at the Edward Hines Junior Memorial hospital. This has been a pet Christmas project of Proviso ' s for many years: few occasions do more to arouse intel- ligent sympathy and to make one reflect on one ' s own blessings than a visit to the veterans at the hospital. On the last long day of school before vacation, the Pro- viso Pageant publishes a special eight-page issue, which includes Christmas stories, features, and poetry. At last the welcome sound of the 3:25 bell falls on the ears of Proviso ' s inmates. As they leave the building for two whole weeks of rest (?), all are sincere in wishing every one Merry Christmas! THE MISSES SANTA CLAUS To start the holidays in the right way, that evening Captain Cronin leads the varsity basketeers to their second triumph in league competition, a 22-16 victory over New Trier. The game kicks the Winnetkans out of first place. The fresh-sophs win too, 37-29. Throughout the Christmas recess, memories linger in the minds of all students of the beautiful carols sung by members of the choruses and choir, in the corridors on the last day of school. Each period dur- ing the day. a group of singers, sometimes accom- panied by a few instrumentalists, caroled the sweet old songs which echoed throughout the building. HOLD LHAT DOOR! G. A. A.

Dazzling white snow coats trees and bushes, and is crunched coldly underfoot. Provisoites walk to school through a real Winter Wonderland. Miss Martha Hildebrandt. head of the mathematics department, is elected president of the National Council of Teachers of Mathematics for the next two years at the annual meeting, held in St. Louis December 31 and January 1. She is the second woman in fifteen years to hold this ofSce. All teachers interested in improving the teaching of math in high and elementary schools are members of the council. Enrollment is begun in the home rooms, in preparation for the sec- ond semester ' s work. Every student fills out a tentative program card, listing the courses he wishes to be enrolled in. A pink card for every period is also filled out. Teachers in senior home rooms check on college entrance requirements for all those in their rooms who have listed their choices of colleges. Shadows fall across the normally sunny stage as the Villain Disease makes his entrance. Fear of an MISS MARTHA HILDEBRANDT Page 73 epidemic grows as several cases of small pox are reported in the school and the community. Fear ceases, as modern medicinal measures are employed to stop the spread of the disease. Strong men turn green around the gills (whatever they are!): dis- mayed women weep, at the thought of — vaccination! Nevertheless they willingly avail themselves of its protection. Quick thinking on the part of school authorities makes wholesale vaccination possible; every one bringing the written consent of his parents is vaccinated at school, as part of Proviso ' s health service. More than 1,500 go under the needle to receive protection free of charge. Sore arms and sorer legs, as well as hopeful talk on the part of students about closing school, are prevalent for some time. Not a few studes enjoy enforced vacations, as they are quarantined for the disease — sometimes con- tracted by their parents! When the smoke of battle clears away, the administration sets in motion a thorough health program. Cards filled out by students, giving their individual health records, are to be kept on file by the nurse for future reference . A home room discus- sion is also conducted on the gen- eral subject of health. The school paper assists the campaign with pertinent stories and editorials. THE COLLEGE DIVISION R. W. Marshall, Director J. B. Davis. Dean The ideal condition in which every one can hear everything that is being said from the stage is reached when a new pubHc address system is installed in the auditorium. Special equipment including an adjust- able mike is going to make great improvements in the room ' s acoustics. dents enroll for courses. Director Marshall and Dean Davis report persisting interest on the part of all. As the second semester enrollment is completed, the 3700 mark is passed for the first time in Pro- viso ' s history. This is nearly 200 more than the previous high mark. Some twenty-five seniors who have completed their course, leave school to return at Commencement for the all-important diploma. College review classes for seniors are instituted at the beginning of the second semester. English, geom- etry, algebra, and science, taught by Miss Anna Har- man, Miss Martha Hildebrandt, and V. C. Lingren, respectively, are offered to seniors who are especially interested in preparing for competitive scholarship examinations, or in acquiring a firm foundation for college. E. F. Cameron, for seven and one-half years the head of Proviso ' s commercial department, resigns his position on the high school faculty to enter the busi- ness field. About the same time, G. H. Parker, also of the commerce department, who came to Proviso last fall, leaves to accept a position at another school. Time marches on while Proviso pupils lie awake nights thinking up imaginary punishments to inflict on those responsible for the bane of their existence — semester examinations. Bells ring mournfully, sum- moning the studes to their hours of sorrow, Wednes- day and Thursday, January 15 and 16. One-hour examinations in each subject are now required by the administration in the hope that scholarship standards may be raised. They also serve the purpose of pre- paring students to face the much harder final exams administered at all colleges. First and second period tests are held Wednesday morning. The cafeteria is open at noon to provide nourishment for those who must remain until the afternoon to take the third and fourth period tests. Thursday sees a return of their trials, as the fifth and sixth period students discover how much they don ' t know. But then there is some recompense for these, hours of slavery, as school closes all day Friday, and every one has a chance to recu- perate — except the faculty! The results of these same examinations are made known Monday, January 20, as report cards are handed out and the new semester begins. Students fill out program cards and book rental receipts. The semester book rental fee of one dollar and a quarter is due at this time. Floyd B. Hummel is in charge of the rental system, and employs a double-card and triplicate receipt plan to facilitate the work.

SECOND SEMESTER THE STAFF ON ICE Production of the Passing Show is halted tempo- rarily as a sudden cold snap sends the mercury down below, below, below. While everything inside the building is going on as usual on the twenty-second, everything outside the building is going on not as usual, as the temperature begins its indecent descent to twenty-five degrees below zero (unofficial, but plenty cold, anyway). When the hour of parting comes, studes and teachers alike hesitate to leave the warmth of the building, as reports come in relative to the coolness of the out-of-doors. But home they must go. As the same weather conditions prevail, school is closed all day Thursday, a fact which is some consolation to all those unfortunates suffering from frozen ears and noses. Friday, the cold weather, which doubtless seemed like a good idea at the time, is not quite cold enough, and Pro viso again opens its doors to the air-cooled pupils. But they, not to be fooled again, do marvel- ous things. Slumbering genius bursts into flame, as heretofore unremarkable students come forth clad in astonishing costume. Scarves wrapped around the collar, tied around the ears, adjusted across the face — in fact, scarves everywhere except around the tradi- tional and proverbial neck — ear-muffs, generally worn without a hat — mackinaws — cardigans — skating caps — ski pants — fur coats — sheepskin mittens: these and many other items are worn by Proviso, in her grim determination to keep warm while schoolward bound. Meanwhile, beyond the four walls of Proviso, the whole world is saddened by the death of George V, King of England, on January 20. The beloved mon- arch is succeeded by Edward VIII. who as the Prmce of Wales so endeared himself to the public, that many Americans feel a personal interest in him and his accession. And just a few days previous, England and the world lose one of the great literary figures of recent times, Rudyard Kipling, whose Barrack Room Ballads, Jungle Books, and Just-So Stories made him a favorite author of many. English classes pay memorial tributes to him and to his writings. Arrivirips ' ' ' ° ' r LLlVll.lt: j.gj j. j g j -j. masculine mem- bers are elected to the National High School Clinic band at Urbana, on January 8, 9, and 10.

Tallmadge, director, and Howard Brownfield, of the Band-Par- ents ' association, accompany them. More than four hundred outstanding high school musicians from twenty-eight states apply for membership, but only one hundred eighty-four are accepted. Drills, rehear- sals, and the playing of contest music occupy the members ' time. Reconstruction of the Pageant staff begins the sec- ond week of January. French Hardcsty, formerly co-editor, steps up to the position of editor-in-chief of the publication, and Glenna Miller, assistant editor last semester, is promoted to associate editor. The new assistant editors are Margaret A. Kelly. Jay Smith, Lucille Rende, and Frances Mittelstead. Jun- iors enrolled in the new class in practical journalism make up the reportorial and clerical staffs. Page 75 PROVI BUSINESS STAFF SEATED: . Edelman. R. Gosch. A. Hcinrich. L. Bacall. E. Buchholz.

EVANS WAX ENTHUSIASTIC MERRY MARIONETTES ALICE BLUE GOWN finding the beautiful princess, are enacted with such quaint charm that the audience of 1,600 hardened high school students is held quite spellbound. The big brown bear, who proves to be a real friend to Ivan in his quest, literally stops the show as he growls realistically and lumbers across the small stage. Each puppet is perfectly constructed in scale, and is made to look as life-like as possible. The Tatterman Mar- ionettes ' performance is always one of the high spots of the year, and this presentation of The Glowing Bird, arranged by the activities committee of the Student Council, is no exception. A favorite one-act play, Alice Blue Gown, is presented by girls of the Sophomore Dramatic club at the Girls ' League tea, January 29, under Miss Mar- guerite Garlough ' s direction. Louise Gagnon. Barbara Daniels. Mary Margaret Grant, Esther Wagner, Eileen Redden, Lucille Barker, Charlotte Ford, and Mary Birch act out the amusing story. A series of Page 77 SENIOR SCIENCE CLUB TOP ROW: R.

Spor SOPHOMORE BASKET- BALL INTRAMURAL CHAMPS Ruffol o Engbrecht, Frantz. 4.„ The Christmas holidays weren ' t all rest, for Proviso ' s hustling basket-men traveled to Pontiac to compete in the an- nual three-day tournament. Coach Storby ' s men dropped their first game to Vandalia, the ultimate tourney champs, 42-39, in a whale of a game. De- cember 31, the Blue-and-Whites defeated Kankakee, 28-18. just by way of a little New Year ' s Eve cele- brating, and on New Year ' s day, they beat Olney, 23-18. The same night they tangled with Rockford and by virtue of a 34-27 victory, copped the tourney consolation championship. They are awarded a beautiful silver cup for their efforts. The success which the squad has had in compe- tion with down- state fives bodes well for the state meet which is yet to come: it is un- usual in that the team has had to learn an entirely new style of play from the new coach, and that it has never before participated in this tournament. Inci- dentally, Steve Mizen, husky STANDING lotti. SEATED: Balkan. Baede C. Antink. Amici. Abbott, Bertel- V. Antink, Proviso forward, emerges as the meet ' s second leading scorer, netting a total of fifty points. The mild epidemic of small pox gripping the community has a disastrous effect on Proviso ' s athletics. Since every one competing in athletics must be vac- cinated, and since the treatment calls for fifteen days of comparative inactivity, basketball, swimming, and wrestling are at a complete standstill. While the activity of the varsity basketeers is practically stopped for several weeks, the freshman and junior- varsity squads each win a brace of games. On January 20, the yearlings rout Riverside, 35-10. on the losers ' hard- wood. The J. V. ' s also win. 25-22. On the twenty- second, the freshmen whip Evanston, 26-22, and the varsity reserves win by the same score. Its first game since the Pontiac tournament sees Coach Storby ' s quintet whip Elgin by a 32-17 mar- gin. Cronin and Mizen top the Blue-and-White scor- ers, with thirteen and nine points, respectively. The frosh-sophs make it a clean sweep for the home boys by eking out a 23-18 victory. On January 28, Coach Slimmer ' s wrestlers open their away-from-home campaign at Calumet, dis- tinguishing the occasion with a 29-18 win. Justus, Schmidt. W. Willson, L. Willson, and Patterson gar- ner the points for Proviso, securing four falls and one time-advantage. During January, freshman and sophomore intra- mural tournaments in basketball are conducted. Home room 1 1 captures the freshman title, while 217 comes out on top in the sophomore scramble. On the last day of the month, the varsity cagers treat themselves to a taste of sweet revenge by whip- ping Morton by a 26-24 count, to avenge an early season defeat. Dave Buck and Captain Cronin lead the locals to a most satisfying victory. The defeat is the first suffered by Morton in the cur- rent campaign, and furnishes another proof that the Proviso boys have the stuff needed to go places. Blue note; the Morton frosh - sophs mop up on our boys, 25-15. CONSOLATION CUP Page 80 FEBRUARY Oh, to pour love through deeds — To be as Lincoln was! — That all the land might fill tts daily needs.

' ' « - r%i FEBRUARY The month of February is remarkable not alone for the fact that this year it contains twenty-nine days, but also for the fact that cold weather and snow prevail for twenty-one of those days. Just how mean the weather can be is shown by February ' s record : despite the fact that the last week is far above average, a mean temperature of 15.2 degrees makes this month the second coldest February in weather bureau history. But even Chicagoans and weather- men can endure only so much. At last a break in the cold appears, with the welcome sun. on Sat- urday, February 22, possibly in honor of George — Washington, we mean. Slowly the temperature rises, and the snow begins to melt. Proviso-ites wend their ways to school Monday morning through slush and water. But during the day — miracle of miracles! — the sun and the temperature do their work so well that the snow is almost completely melted by the time school is dismissed. The great thaw, melting the accumulated snows of two months, is over almost before it begins. To the engineering department is due the gratitude of all Proviso for keeping the building so warm that it is actually a pleasure to enter it. In continuing its program for improving scholar- ship, the administration sponsors a home room dis- cussion February 6 on the all-important subject How to Study. An inventory of the personal study habits of students in each room is taken, and individual study programs are urged. Students outstanding in scholarship are presented at assemblies held for all four classes. Freshmen honor their bright and shining contemporaries at a meeting conducted by the class officers and Miss Flor- ence Williams, sponsor. All those who received honor roll rating three times and those who had perfect seal records are seated on the stage. The need for good scholarship, and the National Honor so- ciety are explained to the audience. Assemblies for upperclassmen are held under the direction of the scholarship committee of the Student Council. Seven seniors attain the highest honor possible — gold medals. Twenty-seven silver and ninety-nine bronze medals are awarded also. In order to receive a medal, a student must earn eight seals. Seals are obtained in every subject whose grades for the semester total not more than seven. Eight seals are required for the bronze medal, sixteen for the silver, and twenty-four for the gold. Classes in radio code and ground aviation are installed in Proviso as part of the WPA recreational program. Captain Roy Snyder, radio, and Alfred Miller, aviation, are in charge of the work.

The work in aviation will be a full ground course, of the same type as that given to regular avia- tion students before they are taught actual flying. Military training, long proposed for Proviso, is also begun as a WPA project. Classes in military pro- cedure, drill, and discipline will be supervised by E. Banthin and R. Munson. W. F. Brownrigg. formerly a C.C.C. educational advisor, is added to the history department to take care of overflow enrollment in that subject. Leland L.

ArfiviflPQ Junior Pal week, the event most eagerly looked forward to by every junior girl, is celebrated the week of February 7-14. Each girl in the junior class draws the name of another, and corresponds with her throughout the week, sending her code letters, round-and-round notes, small gifts, and other tokens of friendship. Marvels of ingenuity are displayed in the unusual communications received by some of the puzzled girls. At last the big day arrives, and at a party in the boys ' new gym. pals discover just who ' s who, to their great enjoyment. A program given by junior girls, refreshments, and dancing improve the palsie-walsie atmosphere, each girl having found two real friends as the result of Pal week. Boys (and maybe girls) are urged to take their caws and hammers in hand and produce a bird house THE DARING YOUNG MAN WATCH YOUR STEP: SITTING PRETTY Page 86 BIRDS OF A FEATHER for the contest sponsored by the Naturalists.

MARCH By the clock, ' tis ciay. and yet dark night strangles the travelling lamp — so said Shakespeare, and so say we all. The curtains part on a scene of dark despair. Instead of getting up the morning after. Provisoites seem to be getting up the night before. All because the City of Chicago and vicinity change to Eastern Standard Time, students and teachers must grope their way to school of a morning through almost inky blackness. Indeed, it is so dark the first morning, that a teacher reports seeing a clumsy bird while schoolward bound, and discover- ing it to be an owl. This night life is too strenuous! Shorthand students with one-hundred word ability are enrolled in a new stenographic class. The mem- bers of this class will be given special training and drill in taking fast dictation, so that they may be able to qualify for higher speed awards. Twenty- eight new typewriters have been added to the de- partment ' s equipment, bringing the total number to two hundred fifty: a new comptometer has also been purchased. O. R. Wessels is now the head of the combined commercial and stenographic departments, and is assisted by E. W. Brooks. Proviso township ' s grade school superintendents and principals meet in the social room Wednesday. March 3. Charts showing the averages of the gradu- ates of each school, and the average of the freshman class as a whole, are given to each one present. Copies of the report cards of individual graduates are also distributed to the representatives by the grade school superintendent, in an effort to correlate high school and grade school work. A dinner in the cafeteria follows the meeting. Miss Helen Robinson, school nurse, announces that the number of accidents within Proviso has been greatly reduced, no serio us ones having been reported since last November. The administration ' s health campaign has also shown results in the extent to which small pox has been controlled. New guardians of public safety have been sta- tioned at Proviso ' s front door, figuratively speaking, of course. They are men assigned to direct traffic at busy school crossings, as part of the extensive ■WPA program. ArtiviripS ' month of March brings an ICLIVILILS j jj. 1 number of music activities. As one of the first, the freshman- sophomore choruses, directed by R. Lee Osburn. present a concert to the eighth graders of Proviso Township in the high school auditorium, Monday, March 2. Familiar and favorite songs, and numbers by soloists and ensembles of the band make up the program. The Proviso choir goes on the air over a coast-to-coast hook-up on Wednesday, March 11. At the invitation of Noble Cain, vocal director of NBC, the seventy-five members sing three numbers on the National Parent-Teacher program. A new Proviso publication is off the presses (mimeographs, to you), on Tuesday, March 3, as the Junior Chamber of Commerce issues the first edition of the Commercial News. The bi-weekly paper is distributed free to all enrolled in the com- merce and stenography classes. Department news, articles by teachers, classroom winners, alumni notes, and a humor column arc featured. Achievement club members hear Mrs. Jessie M. Parks, personnel director in the sales department of the Royal Typewriter company, at their March meeting. Mrs. Park ' s advice to young job hunters emphasizes sufficient education and personal ap- pearance. The Dial club takes to the air and broadcasts a one-act play at the March 3 meeting, the cast of seven being recruited from the vocational guidance classes. •■CAREFUL, kiddies: ■NURSE.

Out of a field of twenty-three schools, Proviso takes fifth place. The Camera club realizes one of its life-long dreams, when it opens the new dark rooms to its mem- bers, March 9. Four light-proof rooms, located just above the south entrance of the new gym, will make it more convenient for mem- bers to develop and print films. An important part of the Camera club ' s work is to take, develop, and print pictures for the Provi.

Page 100 TALKER TED Ted Groenke, ' 38. wins second place in the Big Twelve ex- tempore speech con- test held at Proviso on Saturday, March 14. Each contestant draws two subjects and is allowed forty- five minutes to pre- pare the speech. Ted ' s ten-minute talk on Should We Apply Sanctions to Italy? wins high praise from the judge, as well as the second-place rating. Since Ted is only a sophomore, he has two years yet in which to bring home the trophy that is awarded for first place. All right! All right! That is every one ' s crystal- lized opinion of the March P.-T. A. meeting. After an hour of Parent-Teacher talk, the auditorium is transformed into a radio studio, as Ralph Kingdon. program chairman, presents Major Blows ' Original Hamateur Hour. Every type of entertainer — reader, singer, dancer, violinist, whistler, hill-billy, ad infinitum — dares the danger of the gong, and all present a most enjoyable program. Many of Proviso ' s colleens and lads disport them- selves merrily at the Girls ' League St. Patrick dance, held for the benefit of the scholarship fund. Home- DEEP, DARK-ROOM MYSTERY made fudge sold between dances, and Ray Lee ' s orchestra add the crowning touch, begorra. Sponsored by the scholarship committee of the Student Council. Lynn Waldorf, football coach at Northwestern university, speaks to boys in an assem- bly March 12, The assembly is held in the hope of more closely associating scholarship with athletics, and is opened by Henry Schmidt, ' 37, an excellent example of the theme. Following the coach ' s talk, an open forum on questions submitted by students is held. Weird wails and spooky screams issue from the auditoriums as the Senior Hi-Y presents the stu- pendous thriller, The Thirteenth Guest. starring Ginger Rogers and Lyle Talbot. Judging from all reports. Ginger is some screamer, and Mickey Mouse (presented also, to lighten the gloomy mystery), is more popular than ever. CAMERA CLUB TOP ROW: R. Barth. G. Garrett, H. Olson. W.

Bruce Scidmore, purpose of promoting musical education in American schools, nearly 10,000 music supervisors from all over the country assemble. Six hundred frosh make merry at the freshie frolic class party, held in the old gym on March 26 and 27. Because the freshman class numbers more than one thousand, two parties are held to ac- commodate the crowd. A program of freshman talent, dancing, and refreshments is enjoyed at this class social event. Miss Martha Hildebrandt. head of the mathema- tics department, is featured in a mathematics exhibit at Mandel Brothers department store. In the Women ' s Mathematics club display, Miss Hilde- brandt is pictured on the cover of a magazine, and is represented inside by several articles written either by or about her. High school mathematics and rare old algebra and geometry books also come in for their share of attention. Take Me Back to My Boots and Paddle. is the enforced theme song of all the chesty lettermen in- troduced to the workings of the Varsity club, at the club ' s final initiation for this year, held on the twenty-fourth. After undergoing this rather rigor- ous ceremony, the new members receive their pins and become full-fledged varsiteers. However, both old and new members recover from the initiation in time to trip it as lightly as is possible (for them), at the annual dance, held in the social room on the twenty-seventh. Eighty hearts beat faster as their junior and senior owners receive notice of election to the National Honor Society on March 31. Faculty votes are tabulated, and announcements are sent out to the home rooms on this day. The induction ceremony will be held soon. Page 103 PARNASSUS CLUB AT HOME Material to be submitted for the feature section of the Provi is read by Parnassians at one of their March meetings in the home of Charlotte OUeman.

Rosa Lee Osburn, ' 34, Richard Wessling, ' 33, and Helen Swaney, ' 32, are members of this musical organization. About two hundred parents, teachers, students. COME AND GET IT! and grade school basketball champions attend a tur- key banquet in the cafeteria honoring Proviso ' s champion basketball players and wrestlers, on the last day of March. Delicious food, short talks by various faculty members, and mystifying entertainment by a magician, all have a part on the program. Both the basketball and the wrestling team are guests of honor, and hopeful grade school athletes are in evi- dence. The Kiwanis club of Forest Park adjourns its regular meeting to attend en masse. Mr. Pickwick, the grand old man of literature, celebrates his one-hundredth birthday on March 31. The festive occasion is observed in many of Proviso ' s English classes.

STORBY SnnrfQ game in the regional meet at LaGrange on March 6 is a runaway, Wheaton being smothered, 38-19. Mizen and Cronin score 32 of the locals ' points between them. In the second tournament encounter. Riverside is a 34-25 victim of the battling Blue-and-Whites. Captain Cronin. besides scoring fourteen of his team ' s points, proves the star of the game by out-jumping Riverside ' s six foot-six center, to control the tip-off for Proviso. The final between Crane Tech of Chicago and Proviso is a bang-up affair. Starting fast, the city five gains a 12-4 lead at half time, and things begin to look pretty black for Coach Storby ' s proteges. But in the second half, the Proviso steamroller gets all steamed and rolls up twenty-four points to gain a 28-23 victory. This success gives Proviso its first sectional title in history, and qualifies the big quintet for the state tourney at Champaign. Also on the fourteenth, the wrestling team travels to Lewiston to administer a 23-17 whipping to its downstate opponent. Woe is us! Woe is us! In the first game at the state meet at Champaign, Proviso ' s valiant cagers are eliminated by Johnson City, 24-18. After hold- ing an 18-12 lead at one time, the locals slump badly, with consequent disastrous results. Many fans who made the trek to Champaign and all the players remain until the close of the tournament. Decatur, who lost eleven games during its regular season, sur- prises every one. including experts, players, and fans, by beating Danville in the final to annex the coveted state championship. With basketball, swimming, and wrestling con- cluded, baseball and spring football practice begin. Coach Appleton ' s diamond cavorters are hopeful of retaining the league title won last year, but with eight of the regulars from last season ' s nine missing, things don ' t look particularly bright. Gridiron hope- fuls begin preparations for next year ' s campaign, with Coaches Remley. Kassel, Hatley, and Rider looking over new prospects. In the final. Proviso administers a stinging 34-24 defeat to LaGrange, the school that played hostess to the competing fives, thus earning the right to advance to the sectional meet at Libertyville. Start- ing the fourth quarter, the score is 22-20 in the local ' s favor. But then Storby ' s boys get really hot. They toss in twelve points in a row and then stall time till the final gun. In the first game of the sectional meet at Liberty- ville on Thursday. March 12. the locals coast to a 38-22 victory over Harvard. Mizen with seven buckets, Cronin with five, and Sagalewich with four, do most of Proviso ' s scoring. The following day, the big Blue-and-Whites over- whelm Kelvyn Park, one of the finalists for the Chicago High School league title. 27-10, to gain the final round. Steve Mizen and Skip Heileman star for the victors. CRONIN AND TROPHY Page 106 gs siMS X5 sr Sagalewich Buck Mizen Cronin Hcileman Laatz Haberkorn Stackpool SWIMMING TEAM TOP ROW: McCarthy. Resnais.

Hendrickson. of Bellwood, for his first term. Harry Ewert is chosen president of the board, and John M. Newcomer, secretary. Easter vacation, best of spring interludes, begins on the tenth after school is out, and ends on the fourteenth before school. Thus is spring fever slightly abated. ActivitlPS ' ' hen-pecked spouse of a com- manding queen is nobly portrayed in the senior class presentations of Robert Sherwood ' s satire, The Queen ' s Husband, April 2 and 3. Poor little Eric, the king, at last asserts himself and throws off the queen ' s yoke. Sti rring scenes of revolution, an amusing love story, and domestic differences all play their part in the king ' s attempt to be a monarch in reality, and not just a figurehead. An afternoon performance, April 2, and an evening show, April 3, give both casts a chance to take part in the admirable production.

The orchestra, under the direction of Wallace Nelson, furnishes music before, between, and after the acts. The weather takes compassion on us, and feels sorry for its April fool trick. So for several days during the month we enjoy balmy days. In fact, on the fourteenth, the mercury goes up to eighty, an April record. Proviso assumes a springlike attitude, studes wandering about the streets during the latter halves of lunch periods and shedding coats. But the spring lasts only one brief day and is gone, the ex- pression, Don ' t look now, but Spring seems to be here, dying on our lips.

The annual junior-senior basketball game is played on April 7, with the juniors, using four members of the varsity team, winning both divisions of the game, 13-11, and 17-8. The first game of the season results in a victory for the local nine, as it defeats Austin, 10-3, on April 13. Grove and Pelletier, Blue-and-White hurlers, hold the city sluggers to three scattered hits. The local track squad loses to York, 63 -40 , on April 15. York was the winner of last year ' s sectional meet held at Proviso, and won the Missouri State relays this year. Coach Appleton ' s team drops its first league game, losing to Waukegan, 9-3, on April 16. Each school collects only four hits, but seven errors by Proviso ' s infield cost the game. With Orv Grove hurling two-hit ball, the locals whip New Trier, 5-0, on April 21, the first league victory of the season. Brandau, Ermisch, and Guiney collect two hits each to share slugging honors. The first call for candidates for the golf team goes out, as Coach U. C. Foster begins his annual search for future Joneses, Hagens, and Sarazens. Thirty eager links-aspirants turn out, including four mem- bers of last year ' s squad. After several practice rounds, the number of candidates for the golf team is cut to twelve.

The fresh-soph squad is nosed out by a 50-45 score. In a slipshod and sloppy game, the Blue-and-White nine whips Oak Park, 9-8, on April 24, on the home SAM MANFREDI. HORSESHOE CHAMP diamond. The winning run is shoved across in the last inning on a squeeze play which catches the Oak Park infield napping. On April 27 the local nine drops its second league game, this time to Evanston, 7-5.

Ac- cording to Coaches Remley and Hatley, both the varsity and lightweights are in line for successful seasons next fall. Fresh-soph and junior-senior ping-pong tourna- ments are held, with Bert Selfe winning the former and James Stewart taking the latter.

THE SPIRIT OF ' THIRTY-SIX By George Barker Oh, we should never let our life go by With weak indifference, when it might be fledged For flight as infinite as space. Life, hedged By lack of will, precluded with an idle sigh, Can hold no promise of a future high In morals or ideals, for it is wedged In uselessness. So let our life be pledged To doing good — or let us aim to try : For in this world we will encounter men Who live corrupt, forever and again; But, even when their every action mars Our dreams of universal harmony And goodness, this should still our motto be: Too low they build who build beneath the stars.

(Being the History of the Class of ' 36) By Patricia Hayes rehearsing their parts Reel I The first reel of the drama of the Class of ' 36 began unwinding on the memorable morning of September 6. 1932. Each actor had made a special effort to arrive on location early in order to inspect the new surroundings which were to become an in- tegral part of the next four years of his life. The players saw the verdant carpet which offset the splendid edifice of Proviso, a building so well designed and constructed that it caused many a prop man ' s heart to glow with pride. They stood in awe of the symbolic tower which rose majestically above them, keeping an endless vigil. The expansive athletic grounds were unanimously approved. Inside, strolling down the shiny stone corridors, they admired the colorful reproductions of famous works of art. They browsed in the walnut fur- nished library, and wistfully thought of the time they would spend there. The gyms, auditorium, and social rooms gave promise of future pleasant hours. The actors found the well-equipped science laboratories and cooking rooms quite adequate for the scenes which would occur in them. The spacious cafeteria set was particularly inviting as visions of sugar plums danced in their heads. Greeted by the friendly, older prompters, the members of the cast were assured that the actual work of the production would be carried on efficiently. Endeavoring to act most nonchalant (not digni- fied, as that is the coveted adjective reserved for the high and supposedly mighty seniors) . the players wandered in true Zazu Pitts confusion as they tried to locate their various class-rooms. Many were in- structed to take the elevator and actually spent much of the first morning looking for it. They soon dis- covered that certain upperclass comedians were merely When the 837 actors, the largest number ever to be cast in the role of fresh- men at Proviso, were organized, the leads were given to LeRoy Fox, Betty Young, May Clement, and Thomas Jeschke. The stills for the first reel were taken on numerous sets. Many re-takes were made of parties, club meet- ings, and sport events. An experienced group of extras known as the Senior Guard helped the fresh- man girls to learn their lines and gestures. On a picnic set with members of a jolly troupe, the G. A. A., one long-remembered afternoon of pleasure was enjoyed by the new actresses. On December 14, the embryo actors supported their superiors in a banquet scene, surpassed only by that of Macbeth. The star. Dick Hanley. noted football player, was borrowed for the occasion from another studio. On an assembly set, Thyrsa Amos, dean of women at the University of Pittsburgh, delivered an inspiring address which proved stimulating to the girls. At the end of the shooting of the first reel, bronze medals were awarded to those who had given out- standing scholastic performances: Beatrice Arra, Ursula Birkigt. Lillian Breckenfelder. Gerald Bruce. George Casper. June Ehrmann. French Hardesty. Virginia Johnson, Natalie Noursc, David Pflaum, Elfrieda Weiss, and Rosemary Wiley. Reel II After a three months ' vacation, the actors returned to find a new director. H. H. Eelkema. in charge. Owing to the merit of the work done in the previous reel, they were honored with the title of sophomores. Each secretly dreamed of the distant day when he would be a senior star. During the shooting of the first reel, the players had become acquainted with the Page 173 set. They welcomed the famiHar sight of slippery corridors, noisy lockers, and worn books. On the first day they mingled with their superiors in a general mob scene, and sympathetically cheered the freshmen for their tragic and bewildered per- formances, reminiscent of their own. Thus they plunged into their work resolving to better their acting of last year. Fully realizing their prestige (not dignity: that was a misty goal they had found scarcely visible as freshmen, and one which could yet be seen but faintly) , they gloried in the new role of sophomore. In November, Gerald Bruce, Carolyn Fuller. Bertha Sandro, and Gordon Longley were chosen as the featured players. As the plot developed, the actors discovered that they had numerous new parts to play. Various cos- tumes were donned, but the one most envied by the boys and admired by the girls was that worn by football players. The upperclassmen in that attire went on location to the sunny city of Atlanta, Georgia, to make Blue-and-White football history. A few sophomores traveled with them as moral sup- port at the gallant game in which Proviso ' s drawl- ing opponents were victorious, 13-6. One of the outstanding spectacles of the second reel, praised even by De Mille, was the Calico fair. The wardrobe women were constantly occupied design- ing costumes for it. The products of their ingenuity and the artistry of the make-up experts were quite evident on the night when quaint old-fashioned ladies, merry farmers and farmerettes, smiling senori- tas, burly bums, wa-hooing cowboys, diminutive Pierrettes, whooping Indians, and laughing gypsies swarmed over the set. This rollicking scene was after- ward declared one of the high spots of the entire play. The limelight also focused on the G. A. A. when this organization sponsored its gay circus. Because of the ferociousness of the grotesque animals, espe- cially the romping rompus. it was necessary to take two nights for shooting. Several sophomores tried out for the part of the barker, but had to remain as understudies because they found it difficult to rattle with correct proficiency the main speech: Twenty-five eerie snakes, clowns, Siamese twins, chariot-racing, woofus dancers, living statues, lost rubes, and a diaphragm-dilating doohicky. At a studio party, the Sophomore Mixer, the actors became acquainted with other members of the cast they had not yet met. Several feet of film of other social events were taken. The players enjoyed working on the Valentine and spring parties, where the stage settings were particularly commendable. Fun ruled supreme at a Mother Goose party enacted by the sophomore girls. A short play entitled The House That Jack Built was presented, but the characters giggled so much they forgot their lines and the scene had to be cut. As extras the sopho- mores appeared in an assembly at which Ruth Dennen, ' 29. sang. Here was a goal for them: to be- come skillful players and return to their old set as stars. Toward the end of the second reel, the spotlight focused on June Ehrmann, French Hardesty, Edna Popp, LaVerne Vanek, Elfrieda Weiss, and Ursula Birkigt in recognition of the silver scholarship medals they had earned. Before they realized it, the actors found their sophomore season over. Once more the cast dispersed and its members rested in various parts of the country before returning for their third year at Proviso. Reel III Life Begins at Sweet Sixteen runs a familiar quotation, and so it seemed to the players when they returned to the studio. No longer were they inex- perienced showmen. Now they were upperclassmen, juniors. As such they felt the responsibility (not dignity — for them, that was still unattainable, though now almost within their grasp) of their new position. Their acting scope had broadened. They found they had to study harder and longer in order to enjoy their roles in extra-curricular activities. During the summer. CWA (Continuous Working Avoided) prop men had finished building the sta- dium that had long been in the process of construc- tion. The dedicatory exercises of this new structure were the first scenes to be taken. The juniors por- trayed spectators at the main feature of the day, the game between the Chicago Cardinals and the May- wood Athletic team. Enthusiastically they cheered the parade, sang with the brilliant band resplendent in deep blue uniforms, and applauded the speakers. Many extras were employed, as the stadium had a capacity for two thousand, and was well filled. This year, the four stars chosen to lead the cast were Howard Thelin. Marion Bakewell, May Taylor, and Charles Stumpf. Trick shots were used in filming the Gypsy Fiesta, the annual bazaar given by the Girls ' League. The actors helped the prop men put up the difl ' erent booths, and merriment prevailed amid the festive, costumed throng. In a more serious scene, the juniors appeared with interested faces, as Cameron Beck, personnel director for the New York Stock Exchange, delivered a stimulating address at an assembly. Some of the actors had organized a club known as the Proviso Players. They practiced after working hours and at a Christmas assembly presented a well- acted play called, Why the Chimes Rang. The Junior-Senior Mixer was voted the prettiest still of the month of March. Flower decorations produced an atmosphere of spring, and the mem- bers of the two classes greeted one another as they danced to popular harmonies. The classes again met when they gathered to celebrate the highlight of the year, the Junior-Senior Prom. Against the color- Page 174 ful background of the Oak Park club, tormally dressed couples whirled to wistful waltzes, and swayed beneath the soft glow of dim lights. The actors were proud of their role when they participated in celebrating Proviso ' s Silver Anniver- sary week, commemorating the twenty-fifth birth- day of the studio. At the end of the year, the highest honor given by the studio for service, leadership, scholarship, and character, namely, election into the National Honor Society of Secondary Schools, was conferred upon ten juniors. Those to receive this distinction were: Carolyn Bludorn. June Ehrmann. Floyd Leverette, French Hardesty. Eleanor Noffs. James Ostler, Edna Popp, May Taylor. Elfrieda Weiss, and Rosemary Wiley. Fourteen members of the cast were presented with silver medals for outstanding scholastic performance. Seventeen boys and six girls were given recog nition for their characterizations as sportsmen. Beneath the penetrating Kleig lights many actors grew a bit hot under the well-known collar as they studied their lines for two-hour exams. But the show must go on. and good it is to report that all survived. Reel IV As the cameras started rolling for the fourth and last reel of the drama of the Class of ' 36, the players sighed. Sighed i Yes: there are many kinds of sighs. Some seniors gave sorrowful sighs, for they realized the finality of these last scenes. Others sighed for relief, because — well, just because. The actors were at last cast in that starring role of senior, a part coveted since freshman days. Dig- nity was now theirs. Yet these actors seemed the gayest, though the busiest, as they scurried about the lot. Several mcmbeis of the company who had had only supporting roles now portrayed club officers, editors, big sisters. and famous athletes. With the help of a new advisor system these parts were ably taken. This year the players received their scripts in the form of a Blue Book. Upon learning the lines from it. all on the set found themselves greatly benefited, especially the freshmen. Football at once gained the limelight. Soon the actors were seen wearing whiskers, carrying canes, moving slowly, and muttering By cracky. under their breath, as they rehearsed parts for a game to which the war veterans were invited. Oh dear, Willie, why are all those fellows chasing that poor boy with the ball? Why that mean boy, he deliberately tripped my boy I I saw him! Such ran the lines at another game, when the mothers sat in the stands. As a climax to the football season, a Dads ' dinner was filmed. Red Grange, famous football star, borrowed from another lot. stole the scene with his brilliant speech. Early m October the cast voted that George Casper, Patricia Hayes, Margaret A. Kelly, and James Lawlor be given the starring leads. The first party scene to be made for this final act was that in which the big sisters coached the new ingenues for their futui : parts. During the Halloween season. Spaniards, tramps, old-fashioned ladies, and queer creatures with falsetto voices and muscular legs belying ruffled dresses, congregated amid corn stalks, grinning pumpkins, and mysterious witches for a good time at the Senior Masquerade. The cast enjoyed filming assembly scenes as they had only to sit and be entertained. They derived much pleasure from one at which Dr. Frank D. Slutz, well-known educator, enlightened them with a talk on an experimental school. A new theatrical field was introduced when the Tatterman Marionettes enacted the fascinating story of The Glowing Bird. Interesting it was to watch the pretzel-like movements of the wooden figurines. The glow of the fantastical bird flickered a few times, and finally the flighty creature had to be followed with a faithful flashlight. After working together for almost four years, the actors had become well acquainted with one another. They formed the habit of meeting after working hours and discussing studio relationships. Here prob- lems of general interest were brought up and plausible solutions found. Scenes of the party celebrating the birthday of the Father of Our Country did not tell a lie as they showed the seniors against a patriotic background dancing and admiring the colorful decorations. Each actress was cast in the role of sleuth for Senior Fellowship week. She received puzzling notes and mysterious packages sent to her by an unknown friend whom she did not meet until the end of the week. While the girls were playing their parts, the actors had been training for a sports spectacle. This proved to be one of the most thrilling episodes in the entire drama. Watching the basketball team capture the Suburban championship provided excitement and anxiety. When the team rose to even greater heights and claimed the regional title for its own. enthusiasm and studio loyalty abounded. As sectional champions, the team was sent to the state contest. Wrestling fans also puffed up their chests when Proviso ' s team brought hom.e the state trophy. Senior self-confidence was put to a test when the close-ups were taken. Ushered into a darkened room, many an Adam ' s apple bobbed, eyes blinked, and foreheads grew warm. But the results of the ordeal, if only for curiosity ' s sake, were satisfying. Again while making an assembly scene, the actors were amused at the hilarious antics of the comedians from the WLS barn dance. They also enjoyed a program in which the Cornell choir sang. Page 175 One of the largest projects was the shooting of the Junior-Senior Mixer. The stage-settings and Hlting music gave a springy atmosphere to the delightful scene. Bouquets were in order after the presentation of The Queen ' s Husband, senior class play. The characters were highly praised by the reviewers for their skilful portrayals, and Miss Cecil Stark, coach, came in for her share of glory. The actors once again basked in the social spot- light when they played the important Junior-Senior Prom scene. The Oak Park club, which had received such favorable comments from critics in previous reels, was again the scene of the formal dance. Laughing, happy girls, reminiscent of spring flowers in their pastel frocks, and gallant young swains rose to the social demands of the memorable occasion. As the end of May approached, the players realized that their four-year contracts were finished. Their camera days were over. As fitting scenes to close the drama, the impressive Baccalaureate service was filmed and Class day celebrated. To the traditional strains of Pomp and Circumstance, the gray-gowned figures made their final exit from Proviso ' s set. The underclassmen watched the awe-inspiring scene of graduation and admired the dignity with which the mighty moved. Mighty. ' ' Yes, the seniors were mighty — mighty sorry to leave their beloved studio within whose walls were many pleasant memories and experiences which would never again come to them. COMMENCEMENT IN THE STADIUM A sturdy stadium, packed with a happy, eager throng Of parents and friends, waiting with vibrant expectancy ; Then, to the majestic strains of Pomp and Circumstance, Long lines of seniors in cap and gown appear In stately processional mounting tier after tier of steps. Seated at last, they form huge masses of gray-robed youth Against a background of fresh and vivid greensward, With the trees of the Forest Preserve bringing the horizon near. The choir sings. As the clear young voices rise In the triumphant chords of The Pilgrims ' Chorus, The sunset flings a crimson cloud far to the east Which hovers above them like a benediction. The speaker begins his address. Uttering words of counsel and inspiration. As he talks, daylight fades imperceptibly: Gradually the rays from the great floodlights Illumine the attentive throngs below. The stars appear, one by one; then whole hosts of them In scintillating beauty adorn the heavens. The speaker ceases. The boys and girls. Answering the summons of the head master to each one. Complete the ceremony which transforms them From high school pupils to graduates. Going forth from the protecting walls of Proviso To seek their destiny. Once more the music sounds; the recessional winds its way; Slowly the crowd disperses, calling cheerful goodnights. Finally the floodlights are extinguished; Silence and the stars brood over the empty stadium. Page 176 THE SENIOR CLASS NOMINATES FOR THE HALL OF FAME: CAROLYN BLUDORN: because she ' s a C. C.

Kubla Why, how now, Hecate! you look angrily. Hec With rue my heart is laden. Kubla Then come live With me and be my love. I thought once how Theocritus had sung, and now my heart Is like a singing bird. Hec Tears, idle tears; I know not what you mean. Kubla Dear Hec, you are A phantom of delight. What ' s more, you walk In beauty like the night. So why so pale And wan, my love? O prithee, why so pale? Hec I ' m sad now, but my heart leaps up when I Behold a heap of candied apple, quince. And plum, and gourd! Kubla To Wimpy ' s we will go To get my love a hamburger or two. Hec And shall we later trip it as we go On the light, fantastic toe? Kubla The Aragon? Or shall we see the Trianon, my dear? Hec Your words are like a thousand blended notes. Kubla Shall I compare thee to a summer ' s day? Hec Drink to me only with thine eyes, and I Will pledge with mine. Kubla We have not time to stop And stare. Hec Tell me not. sweet, I am unkind. Kubla To err is human, to forgive divine. Hec O why have you such faded hair? Kubla My hair Is gray, but not with years. When I was one- And-twenty, I ventured into a public- ' ouse To get a pint o ' beer; and there I met A traveler from an antique land who said: She ' s o ' er the Border and away wi ' Jock O ' Hazeldean. Up! up! my friend, for full Soon summer is a-coming in! and then We ' ll loudly sing, ' cuckoo! ' And so we sat Us down to wet right many a nipperkin!

Remarked the ancient traveler then: Remember me when I am gone away. Hec O woe is me! But, Kubla, when shall we To Wimpy ' s hie? Kubla Thinkst thou of naught but food? Methinks thou art a pest, my well-beloved! Hec Since there ' s no help, come let us kiss and part. Kubla If it were done when ' tis done, then ' twere well It were done quickly. (They kiss.) Hec What ' s to come we know Not. But we know that what has been was good — Was good to show, better to hide, and best Of all to bear. When shall we meet again? In thunder, lightning, or in rain? Kubla We ' ll meet When that which drew from out the boundless deep Turns again home. (Exit Kubla Khan.) Hec ' Tis better to have loved And lost than never to have loved at all. (Exit Hecate to Wimpy ' s.) AS SHAKESPEARE WOULD SAY IT By Jim Ostler Is this a PROVI that I see before me. Extended toward my hand? Come, let me clutch thee. I own thee not, and yet I mutilate thee still. Art thou not, vision in copper and green, sensible To pen and ink as to sight? Or art thou but A vision of the mind, a false creation Proceeding from my test-oppressed brain. ' ' I see thee yet, in form as palpable As this which I, too. offer. h is grasped; a pen is scratched; The inky deed is done. Mine eyes are made the fools of the other senses, Or else worth all the rest. I see thee still. And on thy print and pictures blots of ink. Which was not so before. There ' s no such thing. It is the hectic business of graduation which informs Thus to mine eyes. Page 184 SYNCOPATED SYNOPSES By GeB Sketches by Wimpy) Our chivalrous president, Casper, Is a regular fellow, by Jasper!

But behind me she strode; I. my plans did revise. I intended a code. But the teacher was wise. DAWN By Sara Gross Night loosened her soft, black velvety cloak And a gentle breeze, in a moment of play. Blew back the heavy enveloping fold Revealing a gown of softest gray. Page 188 PARADOX By George Barker And flaming autumn seared the plains, and found Thie Rogue alone beside his fire one night. In still repose he lay while close around Were strewn the remnants of a recent raid; In scarlet shadows, fire inspired, one might Have seen the fearless vagabond afraid. The Rogue, afraid. ' ' But what had he to fear. ' ' His only enemy was Law. and Law Was powerless; he ' d early made it clear That Law could not restrain his mode of life. And. since his gruesome life of crime he saw As righteousness, could conscience bring him strife. ' ' There by the fire he lay. His face was turned So that it seemed a gleaming scarlet mask Within whose gleaming scarlet eyes there burned A fire more grim than eye of mortal needs To hold. And of his hair a scarlet casque Was formed as laurel for his scarlet deeds. He feared, but what? Perhaps some element Embodied in the fire-lit autumn night. He feared not God: he was not penitent; He calmly eyed the remnants of his raid: But in the scarlet shadows ' depths, one might Have seen the pagan as he knelt and prayed. WHO KNOWS? By Pat Hayes Who worships in a man ' s temple? Who crosses the bridge of his nose? Can he shingle the roof of his mouth With the nails from the tips of his toes? Are there jewels in the crown of his head? Does he keep valuables in his chest? Does the moon from his finger give much light? Is the palm of his hand with monkeys beset? Is the joint in his leg a tavern? What crime did the crook in his arm commit? Is there a key to the lock of his hair? Does he use a candle to keep his eyes lit? Who smokes the pipe in his throat? Does he have a cap for his knee? Can he paint with the enamel from his teeth? And his hair — who sails the waves of that sea? Can his eye be called a school Because it has pupils there? Is the iris always in bloom? And are the two-lips fair? Is there a runner at the base of his spine? Does he play catch with his eye-ball? Do the circles around his eyes Cause him to be dizzy and fall? Do his veins tell him the weather? What can he grow from a slip of his tongue? How sharp is the point of his finger? Who follows the rules of his constitution? Is there a hem in the lining of his stomach? Who plays his organs so well? How does he sharpen his shoulder blades? Who knows? Who knows? Who can tell?

Page 191 FRIENDS OF THE PROVI Patrons and Advertisers: Few projects in the high school and in the community call for more definite and thorough-going co-operation on the part of many persons and organizations than the Provi. A composite of pictures, records, art work, engraving, printing, book-binding, and numerous other elements, it demands the devoted efforts of many. Among those without whose aid it would be impossible to publish a book worthy of Proviso traditions are our patrons and advertisers. It is they who provide the fund which enables us to give free copies to the grade schools and to deserving seniors who cannot afford to purchase the book; it is they who make possible the income to add the fine artistic touches to the publication. We bespeak for them the appreciation of every one who profits by their public-spirited co-operation. PATRONS MR. AND MRS. G. E. BROSSEIT MR. AND MRS. JOEL E. BULLARD MR. AND MRS. F. J, COOLEDGE MR.
