Word reaches Proviso of the death of Ivory Pike, 91, a Civil War veteran well-known to the whole school. 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.

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.

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
