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.

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.
