Blending many elements, rejecting some, cre- ating others, it seeks to develop a new type of citizen whose vision shall embrace far horizons, and whose interests shall be world-wide. It is fitting, therefore, that World Citizenship should be chosen as the theme of the l937 Provi. Using the movie as a medium through which to present the multitudinous persons and events which enter into a year of high school life, the staff has sought to call attention to elements which may truly be said to be valuable in cultivating a spirit of World brother- hood: Kindness, Comradeship, Fair Play, Devotion to a Cause, Tolerance, Generosity, Cooperation.

Friends in all lands of the earth. Friends in Europe, friends in Asia, in faraway Africa, and in neighborly South America. Truly, as individual citizens of our great country we have friends everywhere. We of America appreciate this fact per- haps more than the citizens of any other nation in that we have personal representatives of many of these nations here as our neighbors. ln fact, such is America, a neighborly gather- ing together of people from all corners of the earth. And such is Proviso-a cosmopolitan gathering, typical of the American high school to- day, that carries with it a resounding challenge for perpetual peace. ln this day when we hear of warfares in all too numerous instances, when we hear the glories of battle extolled by those who still live, we are prone to forget that, after all, the individuals who paid the price of war are not here to speak for themselves. Could they speak, could those who are incapacitated for life bring home their message, the pictures of the glories of war would be wiped from the pages of history. The cosmopolitan population of Proviso, as of every such high school in the country, throws out a challenge to the citizens of tomorrow to insure that the voice of the dead, as well as the living, be given due consideration in an essential program for World peace. HARRY W. EWERT IOHN M. NEWCOMER EMERY A. PARICHY B. LESLIE ALLEN lRVlN C. l-iENDRlCKSON President, l936-37 President, i937-38 Secretary Tl-IE BOARD OF EDUCATTON Every corporation that produces moving pictures must have a central board of managers which at- tends to financial matters, chooses the director, and sees that the productions meet the public's needs and desires. The board responsible for these mat- ters in the great Proviso Studios, lnc., is known as the Proviso Board of Education. During the year l936-37, the officers of this board were H. W. Ewert, president, and lohn M. New- comer, secretary. Following the election held in April, the board was re-organized for the following year with Mr. Newcomer as president, and Emery A. Parichy as secretary. THe Board of Education is an administrative body. lt sets the policies of the school, the superintendent, in the role of producer, carries out these policies. While the producer must answer to the corporation, the corporation is responsible to the public, that is, to the tax-payers, the citizens of the township. The Board of Education has as part of its official duties seeing that money is spent properly, that the person- nel of the studios is well-trained and adequatep that contracts are properly executed, and that necessary purchases are made to assure the up-keep of the set and the progressiveness of the institution. The Board of Education looks to the head direc- tor, Superintendent Earl R. Sifert, to formulate educa- tional policies for the school and to have general oversight of its personnel. Superintendent Sifert is new to Proviso Studios, Inc., this yearg he was chosen by the present board from among more than one hundred applicants from all over the country, on the basis of his outstanding record as an educa- tor. I-le is constantly on the alert to keep Proviso in the front ranks of public high schools. Outstanding among the board's achievements for the year is the new field-house, now under con- struction. On September 10, the board published legal notice to the effect that it had adopted a resolu- tion to issue bonds, amounting to S250,000. This amount was to be supplemented by a grant of S203,- 7Z7 from the federal government, an opportunity not to be ignored. Moreover, money could then be borrowed at a low rate of interest. A petition was signed demanding that this project be voted upon, so on November l4, the citizens of Proviso township went to the polls and approved two propositions: that of authorizing the construction of a field-house, and that of issuing bonds to the amount of 3250000 to help pay for it. The Board of Education seeks to draw the school and the community closer together. To this end, it encourages band, orchestra, and choral contests, sports, and other mass programs. lt believes that crowds of loyal adults supporting these various ac- tivities act as a spur to greater achievement on the part of all teams and individuals participating. The present financial standing of Proviso high school is sound, as recognized by leading Chicago banks. The Board of Education announces that its aim is to be progressive, and at the same time to maintain an economical policy that will meet the condition of the times. PERSONNEL OF THE BOARD Iohn M.

GRAVER Freshman Boys' Counselor A. B., A. M., Northwestern University There are numerous preparatory studios located on the Proviso lot, which are dedicated to developing talent for parts to be played on the great screen of life after four years of preliminary training. Novices enter Proviso's gates and are given positions as extras. From time to time, certain promising pupils step out of the ranks of extras, and for a while act before the cameras in stellar roles. Chief among Proviso's staff of directors are two groups, the admini- strative group and the advisory group. The former is in charge of casting the extras in their particular studios and generally supervis- ing the filming on the lot. The latter greets each new novice, advises him as to the type of role he should play, and tries to make him take advantage of the opportunities offered on the sets. Members of the administrative group are E. R. Sifert, superintendent, and C. C. Taggart, assistant to the superintendent. The chief, Mr. Sifert, works with the Board of Education in establishing the general policies and procedures of Proviso's schedule: selects the directors who will carry these out, supervises that staff and furnishes its in- spiration, and unites the school with the community. Mr. Taggart carries out the details of these activities and serves as an intermediary between the grade schools and this lot. Superintendent Sifert, new to this lot from Oklahoma, has stressed the opportunities home room teachers have to advise and direct their pupils, and has introduced a plan to have extras organize and con- duct school assemblies. During the year he spoke before the Illinois Industrial Educational association and attended the convention of the National Education association held in New Orleans. Individual coaching in major and minor roles is an outstanding fea- ture of the advisory council at Proviso. Along this line, a guidance program was introduced by the six advisers, who announced that it was intended to help adjust students to school environment and later life needs. Miss Elizabeth B. Oakes, dean of junior and senior girls, is one of three delegates to the American Council of Guidance and Personal Associations. H. E. Carr, sophomore boys' advisor, attended the Na- tional Vocational Guidance convention in New Orleans this winter, and last summer, Miss Beatrice Yates, freshman girls' counselor, studied at Cambridge university in England. Every studio contributes its share to the filming of the l937 Provi feature, Proviso on Parade. Visit the sets: watch the rehearsalsg see the community screen's future great stars now in the making. 11 ENGLISH The necessity of speaking and writing not only correct but beautiful English if one is to play a stellar role either in Proviso on Parade or in the greater drama of life, has led the directors to require of every one on the lot that he spend some part of each of the four years of his novitiate in trying to master the use of his mother tongue. Twenty-four experts give most of their time to coaching those who come under their care. The two in charge of senior and junior work are Miss Anna M. Harman and Miss Eileen White. The fitness of this group for their positions is attested by the fact that a majority of them spent most of last summer either traveling or studying. Miss White and Miss Cecil Stark studied dramatics at the Pasadena School of university, in England. Miss Harman was at the University of lndiana, and Miss Cecil Stark studied dramatics at the Pasadena School of the Theater in California. Miss Ruth M. Whitfield and Manley W. lmmel were at the University of Chicago, and Miss Florence I. Otis attended Northwestern university, where she acted as reader for Pro- fessor Lew Sarett and wrote for the Summer Northwestern. As students progress through the course, individual differences are developed by allowing freedom in the choice of work. Those who wish to learn to write may elect news writing or creative writing: those with a flair for speaking roles may elect public speaking or dramaticsp those who delight in studying appreciation may choose courses in literature, and all who prefer clerical work have secretarial courses at their command. Extra-curricular projects in debate, dramatics, and writing afford practical experience. I7 Standing: Miss Trigg, Miss Hogan, Miss Pancher, Miss Baldridge, Miss Reid.

M., Northwestern University MARIE VALLO A. B., University ot Illinois ENGLISH, Continued Fitting them into lite as it is today, is the goal oi English tor tresh- men, These new-comers to the great Proviso studios must learn many kinds of skill in the use ot language: they must write lettersg make re- ports, review books, movies, and radio programsg converse interest- ingly, and tell stories wellg use the telephone courteously, and read newspapers and magazines intelligently. All of these are essential to success in whatever field they may wish to specialize after they have ceased to be mere extras or novices. The course in iirsteyear Eng- lish strives to oiter some training in all ot these lines, so that its stu- dents may have that most essential ot all equipment-a correct and eitective use ot the English language. The sophomore year sees iurther development in these same lines ot endeavor. Gradually those with special talents emerge and are en- couraged to do independent work in addition to that required oi all. Development of appreciation is manifested in the choice ot books to be ready reading improves both in quantity and in quality. Special pro- jects by way ot classroom clubs, practical experience in presiding as hosts and hostesses, dramatic organizations, and assembly programs provide a toretaste ot experiences to come in the greater studio ot the world. Miss Helen Grant Norman and Miss Marie Vallo spent the summer abroadp Miss Eleanor Lonek and Merrill Christophersen did graduate work at Northwestern universityg Paul Street completed the work tor his master ot science degree. Other members of the department traveled at home or in Canada. I3 LANGUAGES A good course in a foreign language is Worth more to straight thinking than an equally good course in logic, says E. A. Ross, psychologist. One out of every five beginners on Proviso's lot is study- ing German, French, ltalian, or Spanish. These languages correlate with work in English, history, geography, mathematics, art, and music, and are an index to modern civilization. They give insight into the lives of other peoples, broaden the student's understanding of human problems and relationships, promote international interest, and break down racial prejudices. Modern languages prepare future stars for speaking parts in gov- ernment service, journalism, secretarial roles, medicine, social service, tourist agencies, radio broadcasting, dramatics, and countless other fields. Students correspond with players in foreign lots. In the Latin studio, reading ability is developed, and the founda- tions of English are stressed. Constant reference is made to the light Latin throws on professional training of doctors, nurses, teachers, musi- cians, historians, and scientists. Die Deutsche Iugend, Les Amis du Francais, La Sociedad Espanola, Giovinezza, and Res Romana are clubs which seek to supplement classroom study by social and cultural projects connected with the language and the history of the country involved. Directors Iulia F. Evans, Florence B. Williams, and I-Iumbert Gentilin lead the language departments, assisted by seven sub-directors. Last summer, Mr. Gentilin visited Italy as a guest of the Italian govern- ment, and French Director Ada Ross studied in Germany. Spanish Director Frances Gospill completed the work for a master of arts de- gree. Other directors studied or traveled to prepare themselves still further to serve as guides to youth.

Because today is understandable only in the light of yesterday, the history novices on Proviso's lot follow current events that are the most recent developments of those historical events studied in class. Four crews, the Historians, Cosmopolitans, Travelers, and Statesmen clubs, produce film for Proviso on Parade after training hours. Miss Amy Barnum is chief copy-holder. She qualifies for this posi- tion by being the most travelled of all the Proviso staff, having gone to Europe twice, and having made a four-months' tour of the Orient last summer. R. W. Marshall, E. W. Stubbs, and Miss Frances H. Trost studied at universities during vacation. All music is elective, and try-outs are held for membership to any musical cast, vocal or instrumental. The purposes of music rehearsals are to strengthen individuality, to enhance life during periods of work and leisure, and to develop love for and appreciation of good music. The Proviso choir, choruses, band, and orchestra produce concert film, and the Musicians' Solo and Ensemble club carries on instru- mental work. Head sound-director is R. Lee Osburn. The art studio furnishes an artistic setting for all Proviso films, and the more able extras are formed into an art-service section, often de signing parts of Proviso's settings. Miss Wilhelmina Marm supervises the production in this department, assisted by Miss Beatrice Bonine. Both art directors studied last summer: Miss Bonine, in Columbia uni- versity: Miss Marm, in the Rocky mountains. 15 MATHEMATICS - THE LIBRARY In order to advance to stardom in collegiate roles, the high school extra must study at least two years in the mathematics studio. By trying to settle for all time the perplexing question of the value of X, he learns to manage that most delicate of all machines, the mind. While only two years of this work are taken by the average person, those who aspire to probe more deeply into the mysteries of science may explore the realms of advanced algebra or trignonometry. The chief coach in this studio, Miss Martha Hildebrandt, has made for herself a name which extends far beyond the local lot. She is head of the National Council of Mathematics Teachers, and presided over that august body when it convened in Portland, Oregon, last sum- mer, and in Chicago on February I9 and 20. Several among her as- sistants attended universities during vacation: H. L. Rider received CI master's degree. Built to inspire an appreciation of the artistic and to encourage a love of reading, the library is possibly the most beautiful studio in all Proviso, and makes a definite contribution to the cultural life of those capable of receiving it. Here may the aspiring novice learn of great persons and events of the past by reading books about themg here may he inform himself of the World in which he lives by reading some of the many magazines assembled for his benefit. Displays of various sorts more or less correlated with work elsewhere are a feature of the service offered by the library. Miss Frances Hammitt and Miss Viola Fried, who preside over the destinies of this studio, are assisted by a number of pages who re- lieve them of certain routine duties. Miss Hammitt worked toward a master's degree at Columbia university last summer. Standing: V. R. Kent, F. W. Baer, I-I. L Rider, H. G. Monilaw, Miss Fried. Seated: I. B. Davis, W. A.

S., Kansas State Teachers' College A. M., Columbia University SCIENCE More than two thousand novices are enrolled in the second largest department on Proviso's lotfscience. General science lays a founda- tion for later work in botany, ZOOIOQY, Chemistry, and physics. Rehearsals are usually held in the laboratories, where beginners learn the technique employed in peering through a microscope, pre! paring slides at which to peer, and experimenting in many fascinating fields. Test tubes by the hundred, bunsen burners by the score, and rows of bottles exuding questionable aromas when opened, are part of the atmosphere Aspiring biologists dissect frogs, learn to identify birds, emphasize the need for conservation, and build bird-houses. Plants and flowers adorn the conservatory throughout the year. Annual poster contests between the botanists and the zoologists afford friendly rivalry. Voluntary groups of scientists meet after working hours: Freshman Science, Senior Science, Camera, and Radio clubs. Fifteen directors, headed by vq G. Catlin and I. W. Moelk, guide the enthusiasms of the young. Mr, Moelk set a goal for others to aim at, when he broke into print last Iune in the School of Science and Mathematics magaf zine. Alden Greene, already famous for his tricks with liquid air, soared to new heights in the regard of all when it was discovered he was one of four explorers who made a 3UUUfrnile trip up the Nile river several years ago, and knew Martin Iohnson. I. W. Hinds, E. W. Kochenderfer, H. P. McConnell, and H. F. Iohnson did graduate work in various institutions last summer, and Adrian Bullington received his M. S. degree in bacteriology. Miss Winnafred Shepard sailed on the Queen Mary to Europe, where she toured the continent. I7 STENOGRAPHY - COMMERCE The stenographic studio coaches its patrons in secretarial, steno- graphic, and typing roles, and turns the camera on concrete examples of accuracy, speed, and efficiency. Novices in the commercial studio learn how to balance budgets without juggling accountsg how to sell everything from toothbrushes to A. T. and T. stocky how to advertise said products, and what laws govern the rise and fall of market values. The commercial department photographs a new project on the eco- nomics set. In an effort to elucidate the study of investments, the classes of I. W. Soderberg create an organization which they call Co-operative Investments, Inc. The stockholders are the pupils, and a board of directors and officers is elected. The purchasing committee secures two shares of Chicago Corporation common stock, and so gets first-hand experience in high finance. Those with special aptitudes compete with each other, with teams from other schools, and with their own previous records, in an effort to perfect themselves in typing, stenography, or bookkeeping. Awards are bestowed on those who attain certain superior standards. Out- standing prospects acquire minor roles in office training and practice, and may even work up to small character roles in personal type- writing groups or in bookkeeping. Seeing their names in the head- lines is a great incentive to these novices. Nineteen full-time directors are employed in these studios. O. R. Wessels is head of the stenographic group, and E. W. Brooks prepares the plot for the commercial films. D. D. Adair, M. M. Finstad, A. L. Fry, C. E. Fisk, Iohn Krueger, and Arthur Krause did graduate work at sundry universities last summer.

The boys in the manual arts department are the apprentice technicians on Proviso's lot. They are trained in their lines by eleven directors, the chairman of whom is Carl H. Bergstrom. Technical work in the studios includes building of small pieces of furniture, wood turning, graphic computations, and lettering. The printing classes have a shop in which a great part of the company's work is done, including printing of posters and programs. L. S. Bracewell, of the auto mechanics classes, is the instructor of a new non-credit course added to the Proviso shooting schedule this year, which is known as the drivers' training course. Last summer, M. B. Goodwin and C. H. Bergstrom received their masters' degrees. The coaches on the home economics set try to teach systematic home-making by actual experience. Designing and furnishing minia- ture rooms is one project this year, and a style show, in which the girls model garments they have made, has become an annual event. The five groups of junior and senior Home Economics clubs are a continuation of the advice received on the set, and furnish further opportunities for the girls after school hours. The chairman of the studio is Miss Fae Duvall. Miss Louise Porch and Miss Duvall attended Columbia university last summer, and Miss Lola Pickles received her A. M. degree. Miss Marie Oliver served as a dietician in a Michigan camp. I9 PHYSICAL EDUCATION Many of the action pictures in Proviso on Parade are the results of strenuous rehearsals held daily on the physical education set. Every player on Proviso's lot appears in these scenes, for each is required to do some work in this department. In addition to coaching sports, this studio is responsible for a prac- tical health program which provides each novice with health instruc- tion and service. The studio nurse, Miss Helen Robinson, co-operates with faculty sports sponsors in this work. In addition to regular class work, girls are offered many types of extra-curricular activities. Seasonal sports are played in or out of doors, as weather permits. Dancing, swimming, and games are both curricular and extracurricular. The Girls' Athletic association en- courages special effort on the part of those particularly adapted to this type of development. Miss Mary Wheeler is head coach. The boys' physical education program offers competitive games and contests not only during class time but in intra-mural sports after school. Athletic games with other schools are an important phase of this work, and afford opportunity for some good action shots. Mem- bership in the Varsity club becomes a goal for those outstanding in achievement in sports. S. O. Storby, aided by several assistants, writes the script for the activities of this department. For the first time within Proviso's gates, a physical education co-ed class is organized. The subject is rhythm, and the stand-ins who serve to try out the value of the course are sophomore boys and girls. Miss Wheeler, L. F. Slimmer, and O. H. Matte are among those who took further training by studying last summer. Standing: George Hagen, Miss Robinson, C. E. Kassel, O. H. Matte, L. F. Slimmer. Seated: Miss Iaclcson, Miss Wheeler, S. O.

The girls in this office evalu- ate the credits of each extra who enrolls new here from another lot. Perhaps the girls employed in the main office should be called women of all trades. Some of their additional tasks are taking care of requests for materials and services required by eighteen de- partments, managing the switchboard, balancing Proviso's budget, and checking the attendance. Miss Mary Carroll, in the office of registrar, who is new here this year, and Miss Martha Smith, secretary to Superintendent Sifert, supervise the main office. Both have their A. B. degrees: Miss Smith did graduate work at Northwestern last summer. The business office has as its main potentate Floyd Hummel, and as its obligations the ordering of supplies and equipment, the prep- aration of pay rolls, the handling of the book store, and the record- ing of the board meetings. Both office forces combine to contribute to the annual Thanksgiving baskets and to give a Christmas party for the faculty's children. 21 A. I. OFFERMANN IANITCDRIAL ENGINEERING STAEE Who is responsible for Proviso's well-kept grounds and who puts the Proviso sets and studios in ap- ple-pie order?-The janitorial engineering staff, coached in its actions by A. I. Offerman, superin- tendent of buildings and grounds. This staff is com- posed of three groups, the maintenance men, the janitors, and the boiler-room engineers. The maintenance department is made up of a group of trained men, all experienced in these ac- tivities. Among other things, they repair and re- place furniture, adjust door jambs, replace broken panes of glass, take Care of loose plaster, make all departmental changes, construct Window shades to replace tattered ones, and adjust locks and hinges. In fact, they are responsible for the general con- dition of the great Proviso studios. The school purchases the necessary tools for this department, which are placed in a tool room super- vised by a receiving clerk and a time-keeper. An inventory is kept on all the supplies and materials needed for repairs. The janitors clean up the lot by sweeping, wash- ing, and dusting, and by emptying waste contain- ers. The boiler room is operated by licensed en- gineers, and here heat and steam are provided for the cafeteria, the gymnasium showers, and the en- tire studio. About 2000 tons of coal are burned each year. THE CAE ETEIQIA At lunch time, the extras are released from their rehearsals in the studios and convene in the lot cafeteria, provided especially for their convenience. I-Iere they have a choice of meals from the steam room, the cold-lunch room, the candy counter, and the soda fountain. Each day specially priced and prepared lunches are offered, besides sandwiches, salads, sodas, and sundaes. The dining room of the cafeteria can accommo- date 650 students, and it is taxed to capacity in two out of the four lunch periods. The cafe- teria employees, twenty-four in number, serve 2000 extras daily from ll:l5 a. m. to l:l5 p. m. Equipment in the kitchen is of stain- less steel, and it is thoroughly polished after each using. Four ovens and three refrigerators, one for vegetables, one for meat, and one for miscellaneous foods, are employed. Besides accommodating extras at lunch time, the cafeteria force provides meals for high school banquets and WE' outside dinners. The price charged for such affairs depends upon the type of meal required and the length of the after-dinner program. Various salesmen who have visited Proviso's cafeteria have compared it favorably with that of many hotels, hospitals, and colleges. H. T. Smith, manager of the cafeteria, states that the cafeteria endeavors to live up to the slogan The best food, at reasonable prices and efficiently served, and courteous service shall prevail at all times. .

THE SCHOCDL Script by Dorothy Carver Proviso on Parade! This super-colossal, gigantic, stupendous spectacle, with the greatest galaxy of stars ever amassed in any production, is now pre- sented for your entertainment. The film is produced by Proviso Township High School, lncorporated. lt is photographed by experts, and staged with the assistance of a skilled group of master-technicians. Pre-views, close-ups, scenic spectacles, sports flashes, current-event news, mob formations: all are involved in this prodigious panorama, as it unrolls before you. The setting for this production is Proviso High School, inside, outside, upstairs, and downstairs. The school building, which forms the chief feature in the setting, has been renovated and put in first- class condition. Where facilities were old and dilapi- dated, they have been replaced or repaired, and thoroughly rejuvenated. Outside, the athletic field has been leveled off. Flower beds have been planted in the court-yard, the green and red foliage forming P.T.H.S.-l936 into a design at each end of the court. The cast for the film is one of the largest ever THE CHIEF COGITATES, THE SECRETARY STENOGS assembled in a single production. Outstanding among the celebrities in the experienced cast are E. R. Sifert, a new-comer to Proviso's lot, who ap- pears in top billing, and C. C. Taggart, already well known, who understudies. Twelve new featured players for Proviso on Parade arrive as additions to the older cast, bring- ing the total to one hundred twenty-five. The new leading roles in the stenographic department are filled by Miss Alice Beemer and Miss Marguerite Lamarg in the science department, by Clarence W. Bills and Herbert P. McConnell, in the English de- partment, by Miss Eleanor Lonek and Miss Mar- guerite Barra. New players in the commercial department are lohn R. Couleur, Bay E. Wiley, and Iver W. Soderburgg in the history department, Melvin W. Wally in the manual arts department, Clifford E. Bryan, who will also assist with athletics. Miss Mary E. Carroll, registrar. and-Miss Shirley Eine and Miss Pauline Wagner, clerical secretaries for girls' and boys' advisers, complete the list of addi- tions to Proviso's personnel. The older, more experienced cast is assisted by a group of novices, who have yet to earn star ratings. This huge ensemble, varying from 3,500 to 3,700 in number, represents more than thirty nationalities. The entire cast is one of the most cosmopolitan groups ever assembled in a single production. Individuals emerge from the ensemble to play featured parts, steps on the way to becom- ing stars. The parade opens with a smash view of a mam- moth mob scene, as Proviso's 3,619 students meet in three assemblies to discuss production plans for the year. Experienced actors and novices are in- troduced to each other, as Superintendent Sifert, who has come to the lot for this purpose, takes his first bow in Proviso on Parade. The l936-37 Blue Book is presented to each student on the first day of school. The handbook is a revision of'Iast year's publication, containing information about Proviso, and is an aid in helping frightened freshmen become sophisticated studes in the most painless manner possible. Miss Eileen White super- vised it. On September l8, three assemblies are held for the purpose of presenting the Pageant, the weekly publication, and a season's football pass in a special combination ticket, priced at one dollar and thirty- POWERS OF THE PRESS PAGING THE PAGEANT SAY AH! MODELS4IN POSTURE, THAT IS five cents. The ticket includes admission to all home football games, and fifteen issues of the Pageant. Manley lmmel, of the English department, Miss Florence I. Otis, supervisor of publications, and E. R. Sifert, superintendent, urge the students to co-operate in the purchasing of tickets. Miss Otis gives pre- views of the new Pageant, another of Proviso's re- juvenated features. The same day, the Pageant makes its first bow for the l936-37 school year on the screen of Proviso in a new costume and with fresh make-up. The paper is a six-column publication, instead of five, and has grown two inches during the summer. The ragged headlines are still in use, and the second page is given over to a magazine section. New directors of the Pageant are Laura Campbell, editor- in-chief, Iames Stromquist, managing editor, Dorothy Carver and Bruce Carson, literary co-editors, Ruth E. Marsh, Helen MacPhail, Lucille Marcus, and La- verne Voigts, assistant editors, Alvin Samuelson, advertising manager, and Edward Huebner, circu- lation manager. The featured players are aided by a minor cast of script-writers-seventeen-efficient, or not so, and eleven business staff members. All freshmen receive complimentary copies of the first' issue of the Pageant. The staff feels it has not lived in vain: freshmen, stimulated by Miss Ruth Whitfield, of the English department, write letters of favorable comment to the editors about the first issue. THE CAST ASSEMBLES IN EDITORIAL POSE Edward Schlink, editor-in-chief of the l9l8 Provi, is remembered again, when a piece of glass bearing his name is discovered in the physics laboratory in Room 201. The little square is still intact. Iohn Carter, assistant librarian, resigns in the last week of September, to do graduate work at Harvard university. Miss Viola Fried arrives to take his place. On September 24, Teachers dear hold frolic, and have a lot of fun, Students weep in agony-they aren't allowed to come. Members of the faculty take a holiday from tiresome everyday duties, and make merry in honor of Superintendent and Mrs. E. R. Sifert, the other new members of the faculty and their wives, the members of the Board of Education and their wives, and themselves and their wives. Golf-minded individuals tee off at St. Andrew's golf course, card sharks enjoy bridge at the Baker hotel in St. Charles, all gather in the din- ing room of the hotel at 7:30, and partake of a steak dinner and trimmin's. Music is led by R. Lee Osburn, Manley W. lmmel acts as master of ceremonies. General chairman is Miss Elizabeth B. Oakes. Other chairmen are Miss Fae Duvall, dinner, Miss Wil- helmina Marm, decorations, Miss Florence I. Otis, toast program, H. I. Stegman, invitations and place cards, Miss Frances Gospill, cards, U. C.

Superintendent Sifert, in an interview, introduces a new plan for having student-conducted and or- ganized assemblies. He hopes to have between 700 and l000 students participate in assemblies Fire! Fire! And Proviso's stars make hasty exits, forgetting to consider the effect of their grace, or lack of it, on the camera, as they hurry from the building in the fire drills. throughout the year. The Board of Education publishes a legal notice, stating that it has adopted a resolution to issue bonds for a much-needed field-house for Proviso. If the field-house is secured, crowded academic classes will also be relieved, because the new gymnasium will be divided into twelve additional classrooms. The first of October unreels a medical shot in the film as l,745 girls receive their physical examina- tions. The beauty-conscious feminine players learn that 934 of their number have low arches, and that l76 have flat feet! Eighty-five of the would-be stars are given only second ratings in heart examina- tions: only l4 are chosen as having perfect posture. Beauty is only skin deep, remember the disil- lusioned girls. October also sees Proviso's students in the first outdoor football assembly of the year. Most of the players take their places in the audience, while a few of the huge cast go into their specialty acts. The temporary captain of the football team, the fresh-soph coach, the cheer-leaders, the president of the senior class, Proviso's Man of the Mike, and her new head director take their places under the kleigs and before the critics. PAGEANT STAFF SPORTS-A-FETHER October sees two more players added to the picture's cast: Miss Elizabeth Schenfeldt and Miss Charlotte Dege, who will play coaching roles in the stenographic and history departments. They take the places of Miss Marguerite Lamar, who will teach at Kent State university in Ohio, and I. W. Brownrigg, who will study in Ypsilanti, Michigan. Prominent cancer authorities from the entire world gather in Chicago for a convention and lecture series on the subject of the dread disease. Chief speaker at the affair is Sir Lenthal Cheatle, Londoner, outstand- ing present-day authority on cancer causes, who grants an interview to Dorothy Carver and Barbara Fawcett. It is published in the Pageantfone of the half-dozen interviews Dr. Cheatle grants while in Chicago. Proviso takes the spotlight again, as news reaches the set of the victory of the l936 Provi in winning All-American honors. This is the third consecutive year a Proviso annual has won this award. Close upon the heels of the 1936 Provi's winning All-American honors comes the announcement of the 1937 Provi staff by Miss Florence I. Otis, super- visor. Dorothy Carver draws top billing as editor-in- chiefg Laura Campbell, department editor, supports: HPROVISO ON PARADE Q ll' .. ll SENIOR HIGH MOGULS Lesley McBride, Henry Schmidt, Paul Yates, and ludith Cleland Harry Guiney and Bruce Carson, associates, Arlene Vanek, Natalie Piancino, and Marvel Leming, assistants, complete the main cast. Other players are to be appointed later in the year. Sports flash into the picture on Saturday, October IO, as 750 Proviso students are guests of the Uni- versity of Chicago at the Chicago-Butler gamep they see Chicago tie Butler, 6-6. Thanks to Columbus, Monday, October IZ, gives stars and directors a brief rest-all but the Pageant script-writers, who labor on, even on holidays. Miss Martha Hildebrandt, star of the mathematics department, makes a personal appearance at the Eleventh Annual Conference of Teachers of Mathe- matics, in Iowa City, on October I6 and I7. The first in a series of student-conducted as- semblies is held in the stadium, packed to capacity with Proviso's ensembles now enjoying a brief rest, as a few members of the cast play before them. The make-up man reigns supreme, for the members of the football team who stage a mock battle are girls! The scene is the annual Home-Coming night. Old- timers from Proviso's set are seen haunting the sta- dium, watching the home eleven whip Evanston in a thrilling and hard-fought battle. The tempo of Proviso on Parade speeds up, and cameras grind faster, excitement reaches a fever pitch, as the entire cast plans for the Georgia- L 1 Proviso football game on Friday, October 23. A parade is held, led by Proviso's band, as enthusiasm increases. On Friday afternoon, the Pageant staff sells Sport-a-Fethers in the halls. On the blue feathers is painted Proviso in white. Nearly one thousand of the colorful quills adorn Provisoites Friday even- ing at the game. Final score: Proviso, 325 Georgia, O. Cold weather, stars turn up their coat collars, as a little snow is seen on the ground. The first P.- T. A. Meeting of the year is held Thurs- day, October 22.

A season of much ballyhoo and mud-stinging reaches its final pitch at Proviso's studio, as all students cast their votes in a mock National election. Proviso scoops the nation by electing Roosevelt twenty-four hours before the rest of the United States gets around to doing so! The program for National Education week is opened Sunday, November 8, in the auditorium. Guests from other studios and ex-service men from the township are present at an Armistice-day-Ed- ucation-Week program.

As a part of American Education week activities, Proviso parents and alumni visit the set Tuesday evening, November lO, at Open House. Fifth and sixth periods are in session, and regular classroom procedure is carried on as far as possible. This year Open House has a dual role to perform: it not only exposes the regular routine of the academic subjects, but it also offers an opportunity for seeing Proviso's inadequate physical education facilities, as well. HENDRICKSON AT THE EASEL together dinner of all teachers in the township on November l2. More than four hundred teachers attend. Also in observance of American Education week, Robert Skallerup and lack Hulbert speak at Maywood churches, on Our Responsibility in Education.

No examinations are given, because of the observance of National Edu- cation week. Clocks also make an about-face on midnight Saturday, as they change from all-year daylight savings time to regular standard time for the winter months. No more crawling out of bed into pitchblack mornings for Proviso students. Saturday marks the successful climax of weeks of campaigning by Proviso students and faculty mem- bers. Cartoons, editorials, news stories, feature stories: even poetry has appeared in the Pageant, urging the building of a field-house for Proviso. Local newspapers have carried stories: posters have been distributedg civic leaders have held meetingsp propaganda, for and against, has been spread. An assembly, student-planned and conducted, has been held to excite more interest. Students have appeared as electioneers for the cause, as they wear tags urging Vote for the Field-House November l4. lnterest surges, and Saturday brings successful relief to harried campaigners. Proviso is to get her field- house. Work is to begin in lanuary. November l5-2l marks National Book week, the theme of which is Books to Grow On.

Officers elected last year are to lead the class: Norbert Essig, president, Ted Groenke, vice-presi- dentg Alice Moffett, secretaryp and Betty Rodger, treasurer. Iunior class activities begin early, as members of the class swell their treasury by selling hot dogs, candy bars, pop corn, potato chips, chew- ing gum, and . . . The first junior party is November 20. Ice cream and cake are served at a table decorated in yellow and brown, and music is provided by an all-girl orchestra, the Melodie Maids. Dance programs in yellow and brown, decorated with turkeys, carry out the Thanksgiving motif. Not to be outdone by the upperclassmen, the sophomores begin to lay plans and plots for the coming year. Norval Zimmerman was chosen last spring as chief executive: others sharing the spot- light include Ruth Grauman, Florence Croll, and Fred Bishop. Sophomore representatives select next spring as official season for their formal party, and plan to practice for the great occasion by hav- ing a series of smaller parties. john Bolt, a freshman, is awarded honorable mention in a nation-wide contest sponsored by Cur- rent Science, the national science magazine.

The true Thanksgiving spirit prevails at Proviso, as students fill baskets for the township's needy. More than one hundred seventy baskets, filled to overflowing with chickens, turkeys, potatoes, fruit, crackers, cakes, bread, butter, and other foodstuffs delight the hearts and appetites of hungry families. Proviso faculty members and students go home for the Thanksgiving holidays with minds at peace and hearts serene.

STUDENT COUNCIL EXECU- TIVE COMMITTEE Top Row: Essig, Taylor, Knopf, Fawcett, Seabrooke, Tolsted, Huebner. Bottom Row: Goodfellow, Man- ton, Mr. Stubbs, Skallerup, Ed- brooke. ORGANIZATIONS Script by Bruce Carson The brilliant glow of kleig lights and the babbling of many voices in the background announce that Reel II of Part One is getting under way. It opens with snap views of after-school activities getting active. Clubs, dances, programs, and contests buzz busily about, banishing the gloom of Old Man Curriculum. Hundreds of ambitious studes throw themselves with a will into their parts, eager for achievement. Directors, otherwise known as spon- sors, step to the fore of each organization, with a group of selected officers acting as understudies. Opening scenes review the final acts in last year's show. Proviso's administration, doubling as 'an- official censor board, tosses all clubs into the discard in a flurry of spring house-cleaning. Plans are made to do away with out-moded, unnecessary organiza- tions on Proviso's roster. Reorganization is ex- pected to put the final O. K. on new, up-and-coming clubs, do away with the defunct variety, and stimu- late the students to greater participation. Quickly the scene shifts to September. Students are hurrying around making plans to reorganize clubs under the direction of the Student Council club committee. First comes the all-important task of getting signer-uppers. Twenty pupils must put their on the dotted line of a petition before a charter is granted by the committee. Meetings grow remin- iscent of United States history classes as students struggle over the making of constitutions. This also is required of each club, and is the last hurdle to be vaulted before official recognition as an after-school activity. The newest wrinkle in club life this year is the talent register prepared by the club committee. Everything from tumblers to syncopating knuckle- crackers is included in it. Clubs have the privilege of asking any student they choose from the register to help provide entertainment at meetings. The Student Council first gets into the swing of the thing. lt gained a flying jump on the other clubs when it elected its officers the previous spring. Iames Manton drew top billing. Supporting cast includes Robert Skallerup, vice-president, and loyce Good- fellow, secretary. Committee heads include Edward Huebner, traffic: Elmer Tolsted, scholarshipg Iimmy Taylor, activities, Robert Knopf, citizenship: Gordon Seabrooke, clubs: and Barbara Fawcett, service. Campaign speeches, vote-trading, and a high brand of apple-polishing go on when representatives from each home room are elected on September 22. Harmony for Proviso on Parade is furnished by the music department. Proviso's proud hundred- piece band swings into action at all the football games. Boots! Boots! Boots! Memories of Kipling's poem trickle through the minds of the players as they march, march, march to get in trim for the all-important public appearances. Sprucing up the appearance of the whole band are the natty new uniforms worn by the drum ma- jors, Bill Witort and Chet Brosseit. MUSICAL EXTREMES I I ' ,,,, .W .V .V E New uniforms are also provided for many of the old band mem- bers, the cast-offs being used to take care of ' some forty-five fresh- P' man recruits. I.

Alternating its mellow tones with the booming notes of the band, Proviso's eighty-five piece or- chestra sweeps into the picture, beginning its activ- ities with a concert in the auditorium on November 22. With Wallace Nelson, director, wielding the baton, the musicians thrill the audience with ex- cerpts from Wagner and Bohm. Nine members of the orchestra are honored by an invitation to play in the All-State High School or- chestra at Urbana on November 7, 8, and 9.

Officers elected are Albert I. Oliver, presidentg Mrs. F. G. Roquemore, vice-president, Mrs. Margaret Tolsted, secretary, and Mrs. Samuel Davies, treasurer. Baby of Proviso's music organizations, in age at least, is the Solo and Ensemble Musicians club. Wallace Nelson organizes the club for members of the band, orchestra, and choir. lts plan is to con- duct social activities and afford opportunities for members to perform before audiences. .., OPTIMATES Top Bow: Worger, Fropst, King, Null Iohnson, Wagner, Mack, Tolsted.

Bringing up the rear of this musical revue comes the Band Parents' association. Practically hoary with age Cas an organizationl, the Band Parents add to their prestige by aiding and abetting the band in all its aspirations. Dr. lesse White is president, George Hussey, vice-presidentg Mrs. Ella Moffett, secretary, and Alfred Kilbey, treasurer. Such time-honored phrases as hic, haec, hoc, announce the presence of some perspiring Latin student, and more than likely, a member of the Latin club. Latin may be termed a dead language, but in the midst of a Res Romana meeting, it is very much alive. The club is formed along old Roman lines, the officers being designated by the original Latin terms. Arthur Misicka and Gladys Storch are consulsg Emily Keller and Martha Kingdon, scribae. Optimates, meaning the best Cmodern transla- tion, cream of the crop l is a club for students who have waded through two years of the venerable language and are now in their third year. Maybelle Olson is consulg lohn Kuehn, praetor, Mary Margaret Grant, scribag and Marguerite Bailey, quaestor. The debate teams, chief Wranglers of the school, meet Downers Grove on October 4, in the first con- test of the year.

Veterans from last year's squad include Ted Groenke, Victor Stone, Lucille Marcus, Robert Skal- lerup, Henry Dubsky, and Ramona Goldfarb. One of the few clubs to escape the axe of reor- ganization last year, and the first of the series of service clubs, is the Senior Hi-Y. The opening of school finds this junior and senior boys' organiza- tion functioning on all six cylinders. High ideals are its standard and its purpose. Iames Felt, president, pilots it through the early meetings when changes are made to fit the new club rules. High Hi-Y-ers are Tean Blackwelder, Robert Osburn, and Addison Ramsay. Carl Bergstrom and M. M. Wall are sponsors. The annual campaign for new member- ship gets under way with a bang, as candidates turn on their high-pressure salesmanship to sell combina- tion football and Pageant tickets, each new member being required to sell one.

Yup, the boys in the tower room are getting ready for another busy year. IPor the uninitiated, hams is slang for amateur radio opera- tors.l TWentY applicants are admitted on September 25, after passing an exam on radios given by the producer, D. B. Appleton. The hams compete to see how many far-away listeners they can pick up on their short-wave sets. Australia is the record. Leading roles in the radio division of this show go to Nick Kafka, Charles Remus, Robert Siever, and Robert Ruffer. Other more or less scientifically minded studes grab their share of the spotlight when they form the Senior Science club. E. W. Kochenderfer directs these budding experimenters. Iust to prove that they really are geniuses, and not some of the hoi-polloi trying to sneak in, members take two tests. Scientific demonstrations are given during the year, and an effort is made to increase the members' knowledge of various sciences and their application. Holding down top billing on the marquee this year are Lester Behrens, Gertrude Garrett, Nancy Clukas, Robert McEvoy, and Harold Merz, sergeant-at-arms. Ninety students interested in the art of photogra- phy turn out for the first meeting on September 23, H. F. Iohnson directing.

Mathemagicians is the name, and November 9 is the day set for organizing. I. B. Davis is appointed director. Triangles, octagons, rhombi, and hexagonsfall the brain-teasers and torments of advanced mathematics - are expounded, dis- sected, and otherwise tossed about at meetings. Choice roles among these mad mathematicians go to Iohn Kuehn, Ieanette Wynne, Irene Seidel, Ianet Nelson, and Walter Swanson. Beautiful flowers and soft music high-light the in- stallation of officers and the induction of new mem- bers into the Senior Home Economics club in October. Stellar roles in the club this year go to Ioan Holland, president: Luella Bohlander, secretary: Evelyn Knaack, treasurerg Margaret Hawkins, his- toriang and Dorothy Kinne, custodian. The Home Ec.-ers are more of the lucky members who do not have to face the bugaboo of reorganization, as they are a national group. Problems of home manage- ment are discussed at their meetings, Miss Lola Pickles directing. She and Dorothy Kinne, '38, rep- resent Proviso at the Illinois Home Economics con- ference at Quincy, October 30-31. Following in the footsteps of their big sisters, the Iunior Home Economics lassies come tripping into the picture on November 5, Miss Marie Oliver starring. Sub-stars include Anita Dorsey, Virginia Brakrog, Mary Semper, and Phyllis Iohnson. The new Commercial club has the distinction of becoming the first club this year to be formed by merging. Mixed up in it somewhere are the remains of the old Achievement and Commercial clubs. Robert Schlichting is chosen president of the com- posite organization. Henry Dubsky, Loretta Rich- ardson, Elmer Osenberg, and Ray Knippenberg take feature roles. Problems of the modern business world are discussed at the meeting. ! 2 Shades of Hamlet and Macbeth! Real artists in the troupe are going into action! Gum-chewing stenographers, hurried, worried business men, and languishing lovers disport themselves as try-outs for the high-and-mighty Proviso Players get under way. Miss Cecil Stark is once more directing the con- glomerate crew, with Schyrl Bolcemeier, Loraine Rall, Betty Caffero, and Marben Carstens supporting. Two comprehensive try-outs are made before junior and senior would-be Thespians are finally chosen. Fortunate survivors get the third degree with initiation stunts. An lrish comedy, The Widdy's Mite, is the feature of the premier meeting. Iumping from the ridiculous to the more ridiculous, the Players present a three-act farce, Second Childhood, at matinee and evening performances beginning Thursday, October l9. Chief comedians include Elmer Tolsted, Barbara Daniels, Arthur Mumm, Louise Greenwell, and William Riggs. The cast for the matinee per- formance is under the direction of Marianne Thomas. Ninety more-or-less timorous freshmen Cmostly morel try out for the Green Mask dramatic club on October 8 and 9. Miss Eleanor Lonek, sponsor, puts the greenhorns through their paces, selecting from these new arrivals to Proviso's mammoth cast what may develop into seasoned stars of tomorrow. lames Ball, Robert laffie, Marguerite Catlin, and Gleb Nedzel are officers. Fifty more aspiring actors crash the ranks of the Harlequins, sophomore dramatic club. Once again a horde of grotesque pantomimers, swooning lovers, and mustache-twirling villains invades Proviso. Only the bravest can weather the storm, try-outs lasting three days. Miss Margaret Barra and Miss Emily Reid take budding Hampdens and Bernhardts in hand, and direct tragic and comic outbursts. Officers elected on October 22 are lack Logan, Lorraine Plagge, Sara Gross, and Maybelle Sipchen. Cheers for the actors have hardly died down be- fore the foreign diplomats of the school rush in.

PEP CLUBS GENERATE THEIR STOCK IN TRADE Come on, Blue, Come on, White! mixed with a blast of Yea, teams! announces the presence cf Proviso's largest, loudest, and newest organization, the Pep club. Here's one club where a student may shout himself hoarse and get nothing in reproof but a pitying look for not being able to yell louder. So many yearn to be joiners that it is decided to divide the club into four smaller units. Result number one is Top Hats, with Dorothy Parker, Rita Hermann, Gypsie Claim, and lohn Holland filling feature roles. lack Logan leads the cheers and V. C. Lingren does the advising. The Proviso Peppers next pop into view. lsobel Galvin presides, with Bill Kettler, leanne Schwarz, and Elma Madiol understudying. Clarence Kleppner, cheer-leader, and Miss Dorothy lackson, director, complete the cast. Chief roles in the Pepper-Uppers, third in this quartet of eardrum-breaking clubs, go to Ruth Hayes, Helen Groenhof, Lois lohnson, and luanita Palanco. Girl cheer-leaders, Helen Kerstem and Muriel Glaudin, step in for the first time. lohn Krueger is director. Flash! The Blue Flashes are shooting into the picture. Dorothy Lutz is captain, Ralph Weber, first mateg Carolyn Williams, second mate, and Nancy Clukas, steward. Miss Ada Ross, sponsor, and Al Berger, cheer-producer, round out the cast. Well, well, it seems the Wanderlust bug has bitten some of Proviso's studesp result-the Travelers club. Modern seven-league-booters pop from country to country in wild outbursts of speech. Understudies to Miss Frieda Wunderlich, director, include Audrey Kuhn, Antoinette Valerio, Gertrude Young, and Lois Brossard. The hoboes sponsor a joint display with the Historians club, of the treasures brought back from the Orient by Miss Amy Barnum. October 27 finds Miss Wilma Gray busy reorgan- izing the old Cosmopolitan club. Students majoring in history make up the bulk of the membership. Top roles go to Marc Edward, Dorothy Perring, Eloise Beem, and Florence Bulow. With so much emphasis on foreign affairs in the newspapers today, the forming of a club like the Historians comes as a natural result. Current events and international affairs are dragged out, raked over the coals, and finally tossed aside by these energetic club members. Miss Amy Barnum pre- sides over the harangues, supported by Helen Lea- vitt, Betty Dykhuis, Miriam Pildes, Elvine Colberg. Thus the kaleidoscopic reel of extra-curricular ac- tivities unrolls, endless in variety and appeal. I' A I' FAIR PLAY: on the field, in the gymnorsiurn, dlong the sidelines-everywhere.

This presentation, football, is the keynote of Reel lllp it strikes a responsive chord in the hearts of countless spectators. A shooting schedule of twenty-eight takes is on the program for Proviso's elevens this season. However, football is not the only sport making its seasonal appear- ance, others are cross-country, intramural golf, and Girls' Athletic association activities. Most of these big events will take place in the open air. Football games will be shown on home and foreign gridironsg the cross-country meets will be run off in forest preserves and streets, and in- tramural golf participators will tee off at the Hillside golf course. The G. A. A. activities will have their own back yard, the school gym, and the swimming pool as settings. I t In the main acts which follow, the coaches will be the experienced artists, with the players as be- ginners. The football staff is presenting a new cast of directors. S. O. Storby has been installed as head of the boys' athletic department. F. l. Hatley has been promoted from lightweight coach to lead the varsity team: O. H. Matte is once again varsity assistant. C. E.

Both squads enter upon the green oval amid thunderous cheering, applauding, and yelling from six thousand rip- roaring fans who fill the stadium. The Scarlet-and- White of Georgia and the Blue-and- White of Proviso form a panorama of riotous tech- nicolor as the players trot on to the field with beams of light flashing all about them. After the rehearsal of signals, the great contest starts. Before the pre- game cheering has died down, the valiant Blue- and-White warriors have pushed across a touch- down. This is only a sample of what is to come, and When the final gun cracks, the big Blue team is on top, 32-U. This victory rings down the curtain of an undefeated season at home, and brings to a colossal climax the greatest event of the fall. The next team on the shooting schedule is High- land Park. In torrents of rain and on a muddy grid- SWING THOSE BATONSI MUSICIANS MANOUEVER LIGHTWEIGHT FOOTBALL TEAM Top Row: Cognato, ass't mgr., Coach Kassel, Robinson, mgr., Marousek, trainer, Wolff, Stack- 'Mc' Samuels ' FVV41 'J 1 1 I 1 I 1 CY: J- Middle Row: Mero, Manton, Balkan, Amici, Malpier, Guiney, H., Schmidt, Wiegel, Freibus, R., Rhodes, Welsh, Radice.

Excitement rises to a fever pitch and boils over as Proviso meets Oak Park, in a battle which is to de- cide the championship of the Suburban League. The Parkers prove the villain in the locals' plot to cap' ture the championship, and before lU,UUO rooters, present a cast which ekes out a 6-U win, the result of a blocked kick which proves the turning-point of the game. This season's record has been Proviso's best since 1927. A total of nine sequences was taken, of which seven were successful, one a test shot, and the last exposure, a negative. LIGHTWEIGHTS Lights! Camera! Action! And action is exactly what the fans will receive from Coach Kassel's stars. Sixty candidates have reported to Mr. Kassel, who is to begin his first season as lightweight director. With only three lettermen back, a dismal outlook faces the team as the first game of the season draws near. Coach Kassel and his cast work over time, pre- paring to put on a show at York. Although the setting is on a muddy gridiron, the preliminary pre-view is encouraging. After a very hard-fought game, the gun finally bangs, leaving the lights with a 2-U triumph, the result of a York player's being tackled behind his goal line. After this victory, the ponies settle down to get ready for a tough battle under the floodlights in Pro- viso's stadium on Friday, September l8, against Maine. Three thousand fans crowd into the stadium to get their first presview of Coach Kassel's actors. The performance is favorable and the players depart from the set, 6-O winners, with Malpier and Amici as stars. The next game, at loliet, also played under the arcs, proves the toughest on the schedule. After knocking at the Hprisoners' door several times, the lights are finally held to a scoreless tie. The fourth scene takes place in the locals' own back yard, another contest under the flickers. This time Oak Park tries to be the villain, but with Mal- pier, Amici, and Wolf collaborating as heroes, Coach Kassel's eleven shoves the Parkers right into the dark room, 20-7. A week of rest is next on the program, but the fol- lowing Friday, October l6, Morton engages the lights in the latters' final home appearance. Director Kassel leads his entente on to the field, and after all is said and done, the lights have pushed the Red Raiders into the background with a 14-O punch. Mal- pier is again the star. After another week of rest, the scene changes to Morton's set, where the two squads meet again. BRlGHT LIGHTS Amici, Rhodes, Guiney Once more the ponies exhibit their fine talent and completely delete Morton, this time Zl-0, with Bister- feldt, Guiney, Ramsay, Freibus, Foleno, and Gan- ziano the main threats. For the final battle of the year, Coach Kassel's players go out and prove a little too much for Oak Park, whom they vanquish, l2-6. This contest is the finale of the most victorious season which the light- weights have enjoyed since l033. They have been habitual box-office attractions. Approximately 9,500 fans have cheered the triumphant all-star eleven in its three home games. The final count is remarkable. Seven battles were waged, six victories and a scoreless tie. Only thir- teen points, all by Oak Park, were chalked up by opponents. V IUNIOR VARSITY The junior varsity squad, understudies of the var- sity, starts the season off with the role of helmsman enacted by a new star. C. E. Bryan is the recruit who has been assigned the task of producing ahwin- ning aggregation. Being new on this lot, Mr. Bryan finds it hard for his players to react to his system in time for the first show with Leyden varsity on Sep- tember l8. The boys work together, but are up against superior competition, so the game is lost, l2-0 r IUNIOR-VARSITY FOOTBALL SQUAD Top Row: Marousek, trainer, Elisco, ass't mgr., Bill, Swan- gren, Schluppt Weiss, Kel- lough, Petersen, mgr.

THE THREE MUSKETEERS Ramsay, Freibus, Celestino After this experimenting, Coach Bryan molds his players into a fighting unit, but is defeated by Oak Park, 6-0, the following week. The players practice during an intermission of three weeks, and on Oc- tober l7, the scene shifts to Evanston where the juniors do everything to the Wildkits except score a touchdown. The final count is a scoreless tie. The last review before a home crowd is October 24. All characters want to make their final perform- ance a successful one. The opposition is furnished by Camelot Military academy, which is conquered, 12-6. Two more weeks pass, and the setting is at Riverside on Thursday, November 5. Power galore is exhibitedg once again Proviso is the victor, this time l5-0. The end of the schedule comes two days later when Oak Park is met in a return engagement and vanquished by a now perfectly functioning Pro- viso junior varsity eleven, 15-0. H Winding up in whirlwind fashion, Coach Bryan has led his proteges to victory in the last three con- tests, after being defeated in the first two and tied in the third. FRESH-SOPHS The fresh-soph team provides experience for fu- ture varsiteers. In the leading role of producing these future heroes is H. L. Rider who has already coached the squad for one year, his right-hand man is L. F. Slimmer. Only three numeral-winners have returned 60 t to the inexperienced squad, and intensive practice is on the schedule for the first two weeks, because New Trier is to provide the opposition on Septem- ber 26. This drilling proves valuable, and when the initial exposure is made at Winnetka, the local actors come off with a 13-7 victory. The next attraction is at home on October 3, with the strong Waukegan team. Allowing no let-down, Coaches Rider and Slimmer work over time to make the preliminary pre-view at home a big hit. Once again their work is not in vain, for Waukegan is sent home, 7-O loser. The third scene is also at home with Morton the next week. Bain precedes the con- test, and as a result, the acting has to be done on a slODDY, SOQQY stage. Coach Bider's players gallop rough-shod over the Red Raiders, l4-O. The next scene is also at home. Evanston's strong Finishing in third place, the fresh-sophs have im- proved over last year's next-to-cellar finish. Four contests were won and two lost. CROSS-COUNTRY On September l5, Director Monilaw begins to re- hearse with forty actors to get them in shape for the cross-country squad. The nucleus is provided by seven returning lettermen. These experienced per- formers provide the margin of victory at the first meet held at La Grange on October 55 tallies, 52-26. The next performance is called on October l3, when the thin-clads defeat Maine, and a week later, Evanston. The locals finish fourth in the lanesville, Wisconsin, meet on October 23, with East Milwaukee coming in first. The last shot is taken on November 7 when the Suburban League meet is held. The boys run their heads off and finish first, leaving the eleven appears and hands the Blue-and7Wl'1ites their first setback, 20-O. For the fifth battle, Proviso travels to Highland Park. Once again, rain dampens the field. The Highlanders are tough, but not tough enough. Proviso wins, 6-O. The Oak Park game rings down the curtain of the football season. Before an enormous crowd, with Oak Park as host, both squad- rons battle fiercely, with the Villagers having enough edge to provide them with a l4-6 victory in a hard- fought game.

GIRLS' SPORTS Focus the lights on the fall sports, hockey and soc- cer. First shot shows freshman and sophomore girls, numbering l27, with Miss Gertrude Grisier as di- rector, reporting for after-school soccer. Participation banners are awarded to the home rooms in which the girls have earned the most activity points. Another part of the girls' athletic program is the G.A.A. activities. Beginning with an assembly for freshman girls, given in co-operation with the Girls' League, the G.A.A. puts on a sports tableau for the new-comers. The second scene takes place in the new gym. This event is the G.A.A. annual picnic given for all freshman girls. Volleyball and cageball are played, SEA FOAM OR SOAP BUBBLES? The next take is a rare one for Proviso. For the first time in six years, the G.A.A. fall Play day, at- tended by representatives of nine high schools, is held at Proviso. Anything can happen in a produc- tion, so the Play day is in the form of an Olympic meet. Folk-dancing, soccer, hockey, and other sports are played. The luncheon tables are decorated in the colors of the countries represented. More than one hundred seventy persons attend. Small flags are given as prizes to the girls representing France, the victorious nation. All quiet! We're shooting another scene of the picture. This time it is the water pageant. A gala performance it is, the girls sporting top hats, old- fashioned night-shirts, and Scotch plaids. The cli- max is the forming of P.T.H.S. by the mermaids, carrying lighted candles. Thus, sports at Proviso make their final appear- ance in Reel Ill.

THE FIRST REAL SNOW THE SCHOOL Script by Dorothy Carver Reel l of Part Two, which covers a period of three months of school life, introduces a decided change in temperature. Players in Proviso on Parade, that titanic, colossal vehicle of the century, arrive at the set with red noses and numb fingertips as the mercury drops to zero. Streets are icyg cruel winds howl fiercely. The cold reception lasts but a few days, however, and only occasionally can a little snow be seen on the ground. What that master of photography, the studio head cameraman, has made look like a real snowfall is actually less than two inches deep! The stars who will appear in this reel are princi- pally members of the four mammoth ensembles, the classes. Now more seasoned than they were when production began, these players are steadily be- coming more efficient in the intricate art of acting. Dorothy Carver, editor-in-chief of the Provi, and Laura Campbell, Pageant editor, attend the Na- tional Scholastic Press Guild conference held at the Book-Cadillac hotel in Detroit the week-end on De- cember 3-5, as representatives of the publications at Proviso. Such notables as Christopher Morley, Ed- gar A. Guest, Wallace Beery, Ben Bernie, and Mr. and Mrs. Henry Ford are at the hotel. The conven- tion is highly profitable, all in all. The Provi steps into the spotlight, as talent is weeded out and senior committee members are chosen from among the best of applicants for the editorial staff. Final appointments are announced by Miss Florence l. Otis, supervisor. Stars are Doro- thy Carver, editor-in-chief, Laura Campbell, depart- ment editor, and Harry Cfuiney and Bruce Carson, associate editors. Arlene Vanek, Marvel Leming, and Emmett Henderson, assistants, also play fea- tured roles, aided by cr supporting cast of senior committee members with Natalie Piancino in charge. Anna Mae Corell is head of the clerical staff. The music department presents members of all the classes in choir, choruses, band, and orchestra in a quadruple-billing Christmas concert at a P.-T.A. meeting on December 3. Further plans for the year's activities are made in the short business meeting which precedes the program. The P.-T.A. sponsors a Christmas drive for aiding Proviso's needy stu- dents through gifts of money, food, and clothing. Other class members, some of the studio artists, are awarded sixteen season passes in a cover de- sign contest for basketball and football. High hon- ors in the football division go to lohn Bolt and Renor Faidyg in the basketball, to Erna Carnot, Renor Faidy, Henry Freiday, Harrison Hodes, Arthur McGovney, Edward Needham, Lois Prauenhoff, and Louise Bar- thel.

Santa Claus, that venerable old trouper, makes a personal appearance, bringing gifts for each child. The program consists of stunts by the young guests. The spirit of the season grows, and Proviso stu- dents play Kris Kringle to the more unfortunate of their neighbors with gifts of toys, books, games, and kind words. Tiny unfortunates at the Cook County hospital are made haDDY by visitors from Proviso, bearing Christmas gifts. The Pageant staff, disguised as Santa Claus, pre- sents Miss Otis with a radio for the office, at a din- ner held there. Guests are Miss Margaret Phelan, a director in the Latin studio, and Iohn Stackpool and Orval Grove, ravenous basketballers. Hungry script-writers and visitors partake of sandwiches, potato salad, cake, cookies, pickles, olives, hot cho- colate, candy. On December IS, the last day of school before Christmas vacation, students are greeted in the morning by a super-Pageant, swelled with Christ- mas spirit by an extra supplement, printed in green, planned by Dorothy Carver and Bruce Carson, literary co-editors, and staged with the assistance of the classes in news writing, practical journalism, and creative writing. Why the Chimes Rang, a play which has caught the sweet solemnity of the Christmas season, is given to the student body by Proviso Players in three assemblies. Carolers from the music depart- ment singing Christmas melodies in the halls throughout the day help to bring still more of the spirit of the season to Proviso. Teachers rush to the aid of the Red Cross by join- ing the l936 Red Cross Roll Call. The familiar crim- son stickers adorn many classroom doors in Proviso, as the Christmas season is shown in another pre- view. More views of the Christmas season, as seniors frolic at their Christmas party. Santa Claus and his elfin helper arrive to entertain the elite of the younq- er cast. They bring with them a bag of mechanical dancers, who cavort in true doll fashion. The last school dance of l936 is sponsored by the Pep clubs, Friday afternoon. Many students do their parts in aiding their needy classmates by at- tending the dance, whose proceeds are used for charity purposes. Students and faculty members go home for the Christmas holidays, content. The time-mellowed words take on a new significance as the yuletide season approachese- Peace on earth, good will to- ward men. AND SO THE LEGEND GOES . . WHY THE CHIMES RANGH SANTA VISITS THE SENIORS Miss Charlotte Payne, a coach in the mathematics department, takes advantage ot the Christmas holi- days to resign her position to marry A. B. Segur, ot Oak Park, on Saturday, December l9. On Ianuary 8, all students Cand tacultyl, return to school. There is something truly inspiring about a new year, says Superintendent Sitert, in a bulletin to the entire cast. Along with my congratulations on the splendid things that have been accomplished in the past year .... I wish to express my sincere be- liei in the resolutions of the taculty and student body, which will make our institution an even great- er and more dynamic factor in the lives of our com- munity. And so the New Year begins on Proviso's Iot. Senior dancers, musicians, whistlers, imitators, singers-all come to the aid ot their class, as they present an assembly to the rest ot the cast. With the root garden of a modern hotel as a background, these seniors do their stuff for three audiences ot fellow-players on Ianuary 12. Students' hearts go down below, below, below, as exams are given. The misery is prolonged for three seemingly interminable eons Creally only daysl MERRY CHRISTMAS, SONNY TEACHERS' DARLIN'S SENIORS SWING AT ASSEMBLY and then the agony is over till another semester ends. A ray of hope in the gloom is the beginning of construction of the much heralded field-house. On lanuary 18, surveyors peer diligently, and on lan- uary 19, excavating begins. Lucky underclassmen -next year they can have gym five days a week! Features of the new building will be an auditorium for assemblies and athletic games, a swimming pool, with underwater lights, exclusive for boys: an indoor Cinder track: an indoor, natural clay drill court: and plenty of lockers, dressing rooms, and showers. The field-house will provide ample space for use in training 2000 boys daily in physical edu- cation. The building, which is to cost EB450,000, will have a brick and steel construction, and its orna- mentation will be brick and stone. The drive north of the main building will lead directly to the front door of the new building. The coming of the new semester brings changes to Proviso-program changes, faculty changesfall Proviso seems undergoing a complete renovation. Additions to the faculty are Vernon Kent, who will teach mathematics, and George Hagen, boys' phys- ical education. Miss Shirley Eine, secretary to Miss Oakes, junior-senior girls' adviser, is promoted to work in the main office. Miss Helen Buginas takes her place. Miss Esther Crane, for many years a worker in the office, resigns to accept another po- sition. A new course in auto-driving is offered Pro- viso players, with L. S. Bracewell, of the manual arts department, as instructor. With the coming of the new semester, the Pag- eant staff faces the make-up man, and returns, al- most entirely changed. Helen MacPhail is now act- ing as editor-in-chief, assisted by lames Stromauist, managing editor, Ruth Marsh, Willard Kummerow, Marion Mittelman, and Sam Osver, assistant edi- torsgHarold Weiss, advertising manager, Henry Dub- sky, bookkeeperp and Edward Huebner, circulation manager. They are aided by assistants to the as- sistants, twenty aspiring and perspiring reporters and business staff members. The freshmen and sophomores combine forces to entertain the P.-T..A.. at its third meeting on lanuary 28. Freshman-sophomore choruses sing, and the sophomores appear in a one-act comedy, The First Dress Suit, directed by Miss Emily Reid and Miss Margaret Barra. How the Provi Looks is the theme of the assem- bly on February 2. Mr. Sifert speaks on How the Provi Looks to a New-comer g Mr. lmmel, on How the Provi Looks to an Old-timer.

The Iunior Council, the legislative branch of the class, begins making plans for the junior-Senior Prom, to be given the seniors the following May by their understudies. The sophomores, not to be out-starred by the juniors, step into the camera focus for their publici- ty, as they enjoy several groups of parties. Since the class is so large, seven parties are given con- secutively, instead of the conventional one. Sopho- mores desirous of learning the fine points of ball- room gyrations now appear before the camera in Miss Mary Wheeler's dancing classes. They strive to learn how to trip the light fantastic toe, and not on each others'. At intervals during the year, various assemblies are presented'by organizations of the school. Among the speakers at these assemblies is Frederick l. Lib- by, executive secretary of the National Council for Prevention of War, who speaks to many of the Pro- viso on Parade cast. His subject in the newsreel speech is The Threat of War and What You Can Do About lt. Several other important speeches are given in the community during the filming of Reel l of Part Two. Shooting off the set begins when students are invited to attend the opening forum of the Boys' and Girls' conferences of Proviso and Oak Park, which is held at the First Congregational church of Oak Park. Dr. David Seabury, New York psychologist, speaks on What Makes Us All So Oueerf' Many of Proviso's juvenile players go and learn, and sev- eral members of the faculty coaching group are also seen in the audience, observing. Telling the truth about war is the only way to prevent it, answers Dr. Louis L. Mann to the ques- tion War-ls There No Way Out? when he speaks at the lunior Institute on World Co-operation at a banquet in Oak Park. Many Proviso players are in attendance. ln direct contrast, civil war wages in Spain. The romantic old country is torn asunder by strife, as brother fights brother in bloody battle. More world news..While players on Proviso's lot enjoy a mild winter, word comes of raging floods in middle states. Water covers everything, many people drown, starve, or die of exposure: buildings are ruinedg suffering is intense. Local interest surg- es with the rising waters, and four Maywood busi- nessmen fly to the flooded area to give what aid they can. They are Albert Hey, floristy C-uy Hen- dricks, Sr., druggist, Arlo Gerard, fireman and owner of the plane, Iohn Nolen, newspaper reporterg and a newsreel cameraman from a Chicago newspaper. THE FIELD-HOUSE GROWING UP POUNDING THE FIRST STAKE lUNlORS HAVE GROWING PAlNS The Pageant publishes letters from Florence Cary, '29, who lives in the flooded area, and Floyd Lever- ette, '36, who worked there in relief work for three weeks. Gradually the water subsides and the re- construction period begins, but not before the spirit of good will in the United States has been proved again and again by donations to the flood relief fund. Stars and cast on Proviso's lot contribute 3181.85 A special week on Proviso's set is the twenty- seventh annual anniversary of the forming of the Boy Scouts of America. The week, February 7-l3, is celebrated by all Scouts in Proviso township. Several of the good-deed-doers wear uniforms to school during the week. Superintendent Sifert speaks at three assemblies on February 9, which are the first of their kind to have been planned and given by a principal with- in the memory of most Provisoites. Mr. Sifert dis- cusses the queerness of the human mind, and ends his impressive talk by saying, To develop the pow- er of self-control in order to overcome our peculiar qualities should be the aim of high school. Do the students like it? Listen to some of the answers to the question What was your personal reaction to the assembly? asked by the Pageant Hlnquiring GOOD DEED DO-ERS SOPHOMORES TAKE TEA LEARNING WHAT MAKES IT GO MECHANICS MEN MOBILIZE Reporter.

Miss Mary Emge's sophomore English classes receive training in how to be a perfect host or hostess, when they give a tea, at which they serve in that capacity. Perhaps the most outstanding novelty is tried in the news writing class. Students in this group are sur- prised to find themselves taking notes on the in- augural speech of the President of the United States as a part of their examination. Movies are pre- sented in many English classes, and slides are shown to groups interested in English literature. Many other classes on Proviso's lot have similar work, Teachers in Proviso are preparing articles which are to tell the type of work carried on in their de- partments, to be distributed to eighth grade students of the township, so that they will have a better op- portunity to choose their courses in high school work. Members of the faculty have stepped into the spotlight this year at the various faculty meet- ings, at which speakers have been presented, and which have been enlivened by several programs planned by members of the faculty. Thanks to Mr. Lincoln, whose birthday it is, the whole cast takes a holiday on February IZ. Not to be outdone, George Washington, father of his coun- try, also is blessed by those who celebrate his birth- day, February 22, as a holiday. Gates to the left of us, gates to the right of us, SENIOR SENATE SITS IAND STANDSJ , MISS MARTHA HILDEBRANDT gates to the front of us .... The set takes on the ap- pearance of a jail, and stars peep furtively through the bars, as Mr. Taggart, in a bulletin, says, To help reduce loitering in the halls and wandering around the building, the iron gates will be closed at 3:45 for a few days. Clearing all lockers, clearing all lockers! And waste-baskets are suddenly overflowing with scraps and debris fished out of lockers by well-meaning but negligent studes, for the teachers' inspection on February l9. Everything from a doll's wigernemento of a Scavenger hunteto a live mouse is found in innocent-appearing lockers by the house-cleaners- souvenirs of days now gone forever, it is to be hoped. Those professional actors, the faculty members, step into the spotlight again, as Miss Martha Hilde- brandt, featured player in the mathematics depart- ment, speaks at the convention of the National Teachers of Mathematics in the Palmer House in Chicago on February l9 and 20. Miss Hildebrandt, DIGGING IN who is president of the council, exhibits creative work done by Proviso mathematics students, lean Blackwelder, jimmy Taylor, Erik Roos, Philip Turner, Richard Oliver, and Robert Keating, Other directors from the mathematics department are in attendance at the convention, which features prominent mathe- maticians from all over he country among its speakers. Entertainment is varied, one specialty presents an ice composition purporting to represent the famous Pythagorean theorem. During the year, a faculty committee headed by Miss Florence B. Williams carries on extensive in- vestigation in connection with curriculum revision. Other members of the faculty are Miss Elizabeth B. Oakes, Miss Ruth Neal, Miss Wilhelmina Marm, and Harvey Welsh. V. O. Lingren was active on it until illness formed him to take a protracted leave of absence. The work of the committee is in line with similar investigation being carried out in various schools throughout the country which are endeavor- ing to meet the changing needs of a changing civilization. February has only twenty-eight days in l937, and the remaining school period is spent in snapping organization pictures for the Provi. Proviso's stars suddenly are the perfect well-dressed men and women of fashion, and are all developing tooth- paste ad smiles for the benefit of the cameraman's proverbial birdy. After mad rushes, on the part of the boys to borrow coats, and on the part of the girls to powder noses and adjust refractory curls, miscellaneous sizes of pupils are organized into long lines dwindling from the tallest to the smallest and maneuvered by certain mystic processes into four or five rows, each person standing between the two in front of him. Some stand, some sit, reading from left to right, all look somewhat awed. Lights are adjusted: the patient photographer for the twentieth time says, lust one moment, please, and before they know it, the agony is over, and the next line begins to form. What price glory!

Super-terriffic, extra-special color schemes are the order of the hour. Bed ears, white noses, and blue fingers, all provided by lack Frost, make a patriotic splurge to end this year of elections and ever-present politics. Flash! Santa Claus and Christmas cheer invade Proviso and set off a merry-go-round of dances, so- cials, and club parties. The sprightly tinkle of piano keys filters through closed doors of the social rooms, and Christmas trees appear from nowhere to lend a festive spirit to club get-togethers, Among the first to feel the holiday urge are the Pep clubs. They map out a campaign to raise money for the needy students' fund. Number One project on their program is a dance held in the new gym on December l8. Santa Claus plays guest of honor, while hundreds of pupils swing to the music of Vernon Forgue and his orchestra. Brilliant red and green decorations add color to the occasion, while the genuinely fine purpose brings support from the entire student body. Basketball stickers, to be fastened on car windshields, are also sold by Pep club members, and help to swell the donations to the cause. Twenty-seven students have their HINKEY-DINKS DRAMATIZE HI-Y HIGH MOGULS holidays made happier with new clothes and shoes as a result. Topping off activities for the season, the four Pep clubs merge into two large groups on lanuary l4. Second semester officers of the Blue Flashes are Lorraine Hayes, Nancy Clukas, Lorna Dahne, Betty Bechtelheimer, and Neal Balkan. Starring roles in the Pep Pages go to Paul Cates, Ptita Herrman, Mary Gunther, William McCullough, and lack Logan, cheer-leader. Girls' Leaguers play fairy godmothers to crippled children at the County hospital. Leading off a pa- rade of tiny doll celebrities come Shirley Temple and the Quints. Gay colored clothes and frilly bits of lace are made to outfit these favorites on their errand of mercy. The Christmas spirit also reigns supreme at the Mother-and-Daughter tea held in early December. Gay decorations and beautiful flowers high-light this annual Home Economics club affair. Christmas carols and holiday music help to entertain the moth- ers and the hostesses. Santa Claus takes time out from his sojourns at the million-and-one drepartment stores to make a personal appearance at the French Club Christmas MORE HIGHUP Hl-Y-ERS DOLLING UP THE DOLLIES MATHEMAGICIANS MAKE MAGIC BEAT WELL, AND ADD ONE . .

His trip proves a whopping success, because he did his Christmas shopping early and has the good taste to come loaded down with presents tor each and every member. This gift idea must be contagious, tor the Opti- mates also get bitten by this active but oh-so- pleasant bug, and proceed to hand out presents with the greatest of ease. Chief roles among these thirdf year Latiners go to George I-Iussey, consulg Ierome Covay, praetorg Betty Walters, scribay and Mildred Mullen, quaestor. New clubs barge into the picture. Latest addition is the Ushers. Adrian Bullington and Miss Virginia Hayward co-operate in directing the cast. The purf pose behind its founding is to provide students to usher at athletic contests and assemblies. Harry Abbott is chosen chief conductor, while Charlotte David, Venita Abrahms, and Lucy Sarniak content themselves with supporting roles. Back on the trail oi Saint Nick and giving, Senior I-Ii-Y members try their hand at helping the jolly old giver of gitts. Discarded toys are collected, re- paired, and distributed to poor children in the com- munity. Throwing all pride and prejudice into the renowned river, the local highfidealers meet the boys from Oak Park, holding a joint banquet at the Grace Episcopal church on February IO.

The Russian atmosphere is further carried out in the decorations, a huge Rus- sian eagle in red and gold, painted by art stu- dents, directed by Miss Beatrice Bonine. T. Irving Tallmadge and his hundred-odd musicians are to be congratulated on their 1937 premiere. The scientific element in the school pops up again as the Senior Science club members prepare for a trip through l-lines hospital. Explorers dig out their ear-muffs and overcoats to brave the icy blasts on their way, and are rewarded with a specially di- rected tour of the establishment. This is but one of many safaris planned for the year. The annual epidemic of Valentine's day parties hits Proviso, the ltalian club being one of its hardest smitten victims. Folk songs and numerous Valen- tine games chase Old Man Gloorn away, while talks on pre-Lenten customs add a dash of culture to the occasion. More serious problems confront Camera club members. The weighty task of lining up fresh- men and getting them to stand still long enough to be shot rears up rnenacingly. H. F. Tohnson, club director, tackles the problem with his customary vigor. Kodakers also bear much of the burden of snapping club informals for the Provi. All in all, these little men have mighty busy days. Scenes from the life of Lincoln are presented by Freshman Dramatic club members at three assem- blies on February l6. Actors and Freshman chorus combine to make this one of the finest, most in- spirational assemblies of the year. Various traits, such as humor, honesty, and sympathy, are illus- trated with incidents from the life of the Great Emancipatcr. Lively barn-dance scenes pep up the play and add the necessary dash of spice. Miss Eleanor Lonek, Miss Florence Scott, and Miss Mary R. Wheeler are in charge of the production. Second semester officers of the Green Mask are Robert laffie, Charlotte Sifert, Allen Becht, and Marjorie Mohr. Por cors THE A WEAZELV' AT THE I FRESHMAN ASSEMBLY Mathematics again comes into its own as third- year math geniuses keep up their struggle for knowl- edge. Mathemagicians select new stars for the second semester, lohn Kuehn, Peggy Wade, lacque- line Propst, Lillian Barnes, and Walter Swanson being the lucky nominees. Back to the lighter side of life for a moment. Sopho- mores go dramatic in a big way as they stage an amateur public show at the third P.-T. A. meeting. First Dress Suit is the name of the production, and Miss Emily Reid and Miss Margaret Barra, club sponsors, do the directing. The cast includes such polished artists as Robert Dame, Dean I-Iutter, Mitzi I-Iesselbarth, and Shirley lean Madsen. Latin club members feel the customary urge to elect new officers for the second semester. Results of the aforementioned urge are loyce Goodfellow and Robert Brown, consulsp William Behm, quaes- tory y Tones, scriba. Not to be out-done by their contemporaries in the field of language, the Eritzes and I-Iildas of the German club put on a campaign for new members. Results are immediate and satisfactory. The club sweeps into the second semester with a new and larger roll call, and bigger and better plans for the future. lanuary I7 finds the orchestra presenting its sec- ond concert of the year. The combined junior and senior orchestras form a l27-piece unit, presenting such famous works as Mosaic Overture, Spanish Dance, and Melody in F, The 45-piece junior orchestra makes its debut at this concert. Flash! Marvel Leming, '37, is announced as win- ner of the Dial club contest closing February l. Each contestant submits sixteen words describing de- sirable traits of character. Marvel's tabulation is chosen as the one most nearly approaching Dial club ideals. New leaders of the club for this semester include Alvin Samuelsohn, Shirley Kirby, Sonya Levinthal, and Syd Kramer, Broad-shouldered, muscle-bulging varsiteers go on a stand-up strike after their initiation on lanuary 5. These P men evidently can take plenty of punishment, but not when it's spelled with a capital P Caddlel. Officers Dave Buck and Harold Pass com- bine with S. O.

Leaving athletes for actors for the moment, Pro- viso Players met February 4 and do some planning for the future, Number One plan on their list is a dance to be held some time in the all-too-short months to come.

Figuring that theres nothing like a good stiff con- test to keep the spirits up, Chess club enthusiasts arrange for two. One is planned for dubs, and the other for studes in the professional class. Alex- ander Nedzel is re-elected president on February l. Other top roles go to Arthur Skultin, Wilbert Bausch, and lack Griswold. Cosmopolitanites listen to a speech by Miss Amy Barnum about the International House in Chicago, and elect new leaders on February 3.

The headliner for the three-months' season is basketball, which is supplemented by wrestling and swimming. Old Man Winter is threatening cold weather just around the corner, so all takes must be made indoors. Back- grounds are home and other schools' gyms, swim- ming pools, and wrestling mats. Action starts with a bang, as S. O. Storby begins his second year as head director. The Proviso basketball machine snaps into action with daily rehearsals, immediately after the football program has ended. For the second time, H. L. Rider is Mr. Storby's right hand man. Together they drill many try-out-ers who hope to be a part of the cast that will be presented before a home audience on November 25, when Lemont engages the locals in the opening act of the reel. Five experienced lettermen return, and the direc- tors build the team from this quintet, picking more players from the aspirants. Colossal class is ex- hibited against Lemont, and the Pirates emerge vic- torious, 32-22. The next encounter is a league con- test at Morton on December 4. Beginning a defense of its league title, the Proviso cast marches out on the Maroon stage, does its playing successfully, bows before an overflow theater and walks off the set, a 28-2l winner. The next game is at home with New Trier, after one week has elapsed. New Trier receives the same treatment as Morton, 38-l9. Highland Park invades the local setting on December l8, and is shot, 38-22. The following six acts take place downstate at Beardstown, Quincy, and Pontiac. The latter is the Pontiac tournament, in which only the most talented casts of the state are entered. Beardstown and Quincy draw negatives, and Proviso literally runs away with the Pontiac tourney, except in its final performance, when it takes Centralia down the line, 33-29, on lanuary l. After winning the spoils at Pontiac, the Pirates travel to the Evanston set one week later and win their eleventh straight victory, 4l-24. When Oak Park comes to town on Ianuary l5, Proviso goes to town and performs brilliantly under the floodlights to outshine its opponents, 38-2l. Waukegan plays host to the Blue-and-Whites next, but proves the thirteenth guest of the defending league champs, 35-22. This play completes the first round of the league program. The second and last part starts at Proviso on Ianuary 29, with Morton. The latter does not shine on the former's lot, and as a result, loses again to Director Storby's outfit, 28-18. New Trier and Highland Park are sent to the dark- room on foreign settings early in February. The scene shifts to Proviso on February 9, when Evans- ton absorbs another negative, 30-21. Coach Storby practices intensely with his players now, because Moline, one of the strongest ententes in the state, is to be played on February 12, away from home. With Heileman starring as the hero, Proviso leaves the lot with a 35-25 success. After this win, Coach Storby leads his cast to Oak Park, where it wins its nineteenth consecutive vic- tory, 33-26. The following week the Blue-and-White squad performs before a home crowd against Waukegan and takes the engagement, 4l-l6 to de- fend successfully its Suburban League title. Be- cause this positive shot has brought to a close the regular shooting schedule, the team is now practic- ing for the Regional Tournament at York in Elm- hurst, on March 3. Provisotakesits first engagement with ease against Downers Grove, but on March 5, Morton is paired with the locals. Playing with all their ability, both casts battle toe to toe, with the Pirates having some advantage in talent, 26-24. In the finals, the winners shoot York, 33-29, to capture the tournament. The next part of the program, the Sectional Tour- nament, is played at Waukegan on March ll. Be-- Top Row: Marousek, mgr., Neumann, cause a loss would bring to a halt Rrovisas march, the team rehearses in business-like fashion, and leads Lake Forest off the set with its twenty-fourth straight successful performance, 36-30. The follow- ing night, the villain finally makes its appearance in the play, with Dundee taking that role. With one star unable to play and another ejected from the act early in the game, Proviso is shot to pieces and receives its first and only negative in twenty-five takes, 34-24. Only praise can be given the cast that has written Proviso's most sensational basketball record. With five seniors, Captain Cronin, Sagalewich, T-leileman, Mizen, and Buck, and a junior, lohn Stackpool, per- forming in the leading playing roles, and S. O. Storby as the featured director, this cast rarnpaged through its shooting schedule and took a negative of-every XCQ j --.... WK The word Pirates has been given the Proviso team as their first nickname in the history of the school. lUNlOR VARSITY BASKETBALL The lunior Varsity squad, composed of heavy- weight understudies, is directed by H. L. Rider. These actors drill with the varsity cast as one unit, but they have a shooting schedule of their own. When the call to arms is sounded, an overflow brigade answers. Coach Rider starts his tough task of attempting to better each candidates skill, and when the curtain goes up for the first act, his players seem to know what it is all about. When this same curtain falls, on lanuary 9, his proteges have put on a successful show at La Grange, com- ing from the lot with a 29-24 triumph. Two weeks later, Proviso meets Oak Park in a preliminary pre-view at home, and sends the Parkers across the river with forlorn faces. The locals are a success in their debut, 29-27. After a week of practice, Lemont is rnet here in the Blue-and-Whites' third game. Starnpeding over the visitors in real hero fashion, the latter is made the third shot of the local playboys, 40-23. For the fourth encounter, on February l9, the scene changes to Oak Park. The Village actors prove failures once more and are deleted, 25-17. Director Rider practices with his entente the next week for their final performance of the season on February 27. This scene shifts to Morton where the Red Raid- ers prove villains in the locals' plan to go unde- feated. For the first and only time this season, they are handed a negative, 28-25. Coach Rider has led his charges to four successes out of five attempts. They started out fast and BUCK, MIZEN S.AL9AL.IVi.'lLjH, HEILELIAN, FRANT2 E'tAfQ'KPOOL, CRONTN GROVE THE SQUAD AT YORK ended up fast, even though the final act finished as a flop. FRESH-SOPH BASKETBALL A new featured star is making his initial appear- ance at Proviso in the roleof a basketball director. C. E. Bryan has been given the task of producing material for future varsity use. With the aid of his assistant, l. W. Soderberg, he begins practice in the middle of November with a large group of freshmen and sophomores. Enough rehearsals have been held for the team to go out and trim Lemont on November 25, 20-9, for the first successful performance of the season. This is the only practice tilt on the fresh-soph schedule, so only league quintets remain to be played. On December 4, Proviso's group travels to Morton to play the Maroons in the first Suburban League contest. The home team hands the locals a 19-9 defeat, and the following week, New Trier invades the Blue-and-White setting. The invaders are not disappointed at their showing, because they blow SOPHOMORE BASKETBALL TEAM Standing: Coach Bryan, Weidemann, mgizg Ruffolo, Brown, Meiers, ass't mgr.p Coach Soderberg. Seated: Rusch, Augustine, Stewart, Mack, Miller, Kuechel, Fitz- gerald. the fuse in Proviso's lights, and escape with a 20-7 victory. After these two defeats, Coach Bryan molds his cast into a co-operative unit, and the next time out, the actors get back into the good graces of the audience by beating Highland Park, l4-l0, for their second victory. On Ianuary 8, Evanston jumps into the highlights when it ekes out a 2l-l9 triumph over local stars on the Wildkit stage. Villains Oak Park and Waukegan are dueled in that order, resulting in the former's coming off the lot a 38-22 victor, and the latter taking a 22-16 per- formance from the Proviso players. Because of these defeats, Director Bryan sends his thwarted proteges through strenuous practices for the Morton engagement on Ianuary 29. Although this home review is not succesful, the fresh-sophs make a hit with the show-goers in losing a very close 24-22 affair. The next shot, at New Trier on February 2, also proves to be a defeat, 33-30, but not until after the future stars have scared the socks off the home team. Three days elapse before the next act. Highland Park is met on its own stage in a return engagement, but this time sends the Proviso cast from the set with a 15-l2 loss. Not enough flash is exhibited at home against Evanston, on February 9, by the foiled straight-shooters, and as a result, the op- ponents emerge with a 30-22 success. The setting changes to Oak Park's stage the fol- lowing week, but the lights still do not seem bright enough for the local players: the Parkers prove a hit once more in shooting Director Bryan's cast, 39-22. In the final scene of the team's thirteen-act pro- gram, the fresh-sophs ring down the curtain of a somewhat dismal season with zest that brings ap- plause galore from the sardine can theater, when they show Waukegan the way to the dark- room, 27-23. PRESHMAN BASKETBALL TEAM Standing: Coach Bryan, Stange, Robinson, Neumann, Bruce, Ciresi, Kareski, Coach Soderberg. Seated: Meiers, ass't mgr.7 Zeinfeld, Farmer, Lossin, Coiley, Orvino, Russo, Wiedemann, Ingr. Out of its unlucky number of performances, the yearlings, cast has won only three, but in four of its losses, the players were shot by only three points or less. Even at that, Director Bryan showed his actors enough basketball to make them feared per- formers in a big-time program. ln all of their scenes, the fresh-sophs presented their talents as a big box- office attraction. FBESHMEN The youngest players, the freshmen, have l. W. Soderberg as director starting his first year at Proviso. Actors turn out in late November and rehearse with the sophomores. A few of these players do their acting with the sophomores in the latters' con- tests, but the others keep drilling until their play with Riverside comes up. The home pre-view ends as an A A production, after the cast defeats the in- vaders, 20-8. Oak Park appears here the next week and re- ceives the same kind of treatment, Sl-29. The third part of the program is at home with Morton as the opposition. Director Soderberg's stars are again a success, and when they come from the stage, they have won their third straight game, 3l-l5. Scene four changes to Oak Park for a return en- gagement, but the host is still not able to cope with the locals' talent. As a result, the freshmen win their fourth act, 20-l3. On February 27, Proviso invades Morton for its final appearance of the season, and the last act shows the Blue-and-Whites being shot, 33-28, for their only setback. Starting the season as a bright light, the freshmen continued glowing until the final performance, when the brilliant glow faded a little. Four successful takes and only one negative shot speak highly of these inexperienced players. INTBAMUBAL BASKETBALL During the month of December, a scenario is taken of freshmen-sophomore intramural basketball. Home Boom 204 takes the freshman honors.

The varsity squad practices for a week and then Di- rector Matte selecfts the most talented actors to play against Crane on the local lot, December ll. The Chicagoans prove better technicians and swim off with a 38-28 success. After five days, the scene shifts to I-Iighland Park, where the Proviso players win their first act, 38-3l. The next tussle takes place on Ianuary 8, with Waukegan. The switch is turned, and the lights become brighter for the local playboys. They have won their third meet, 32-31. New Trier's champion cast plays host to Director Matte's splash-hitters one week later, and drowns the latter, 42-23. The same SWIMMING SQUAD Top Row: Cleland, Ellison felclt, Slcoglund.

Evanston invades the local lot first and takes the act, 38-28. With Oak Park here the following week, Director Matte's proteges have talent, but not enough, so they drop their act, 42-24. Crane plays host in the last act on February l2, and takes the final duet appearance of the swimmers, 38-19. In the big Suburban League meet at New Trier on February 20, only two of Director Matte's actors are able to make a hit for Proviso. Wolff and Iacobs, star backstroker and breaststroker, respectively, score three points to place Proviso sixth, but New Trier gives the best performance to capture the honors.

FRESH-SOPHS The fresh-sophs rehearse with the varsity and are also directed by Coach Matte. Their meets are held on the same day with the same setting as that of the big shots, but they open each program with a curtain-raiser. Crane plays the first act and takes all the ap- plause, 48-18. The scene shifts to Highland Park where the locals are shot, 47-19. When Waukegan comes here on lanuary 8, the lndians are run off the lot with a 40-26 setback. New Trier takes the fourth act of the program, 45-2l, but Morton is drowned in a 35-27 performance on Ianuary 22. The next act has Evanston invading the local set and leaving the lot with a 44-22 successful perform- ance, The next part of the program is also at home, but the final review before a home audience is a flop. Oak Park carries away the meet, 46-26. The last act shifts to Crane where Director Matte's actors are handed a negative in the final meet, 46-ll. WRESTLING With L. F. Slimmer as the leading director, the defending state champion wrestling squad begins its rehearsal on November lU with l5O actors turn- ing out for practice. Four returning lettermen will play the leading roles with a supporting cast of ten other veterans. Because last year's entente won the state title, Director Slimmer sends his grapplers through stren- uous drills before Calumet invades the local stage for the opening performance on lanuary 20. With a large audience viewing the ore- few the Howie team leaves the lot, a 27-3 winner. ln a return en- gagement one week later at Calumet, the locals STATE CHAMPS THROW HlM, SCHMlDTl abrooke, Schmidt, Bishop UGH-H-Hl .gf .,-1 escape with a 35 V2-4M triumph. The next play arrives here on February 6 with strong downstate Lewistown as the opposition. Put- ting on a triumphant performance, the state champs take the scenario, 20Vz-9W. The next scene takes place at Morgan Park on February 17. Bising to colossal heights, the squad hands the Parkers a one-way ticket to the darkroom, 42-0. After rehearsing for another week, Lindblom en- ters the local picture on the Proviso stage, and be- fore a packed theater is downed, 27-9. From now on the squad rehearses overtime in order to improve its talent for the state meet on March 5 and 6. Director Slimmer leads the cast into Champaign and each of the actors performs in a stupendous manner to defend successfully the state title. The final tabulation shows the local stars with a grand total of 29 points, eight more than runner-up Champaign. Three individual Proviso actors exhibit more talent than any one else in the meet to win the state championship in their respective weights. Bishop, Schmidt, and Seabrooke are the featured stars of Director Slimmer. WRESTLING L. F. Slimmer, Coach Art McCrovney, Mgr.

PART 'Ii-II EE THE SPRING RELEASE Script by Carver, Carson and Guiney THE SCHOOL Assemblies take the spotlight in Part Three, show- ing the closing scenes of that colossal triumph, Proviso on Parade. Talent from clubs and classes, nationally-known speakers, musicians, and other en- tertainers appear in the camera focus to enliven the programs attended by the rest of the cast. Cold weather still lingers on in Maywood, and there is snow on the ground. Provisas set is kept warm by such superior equipment as that of the boiler room. lunior girls are the first actresses to be seen in Part Three, as they frolic the whole week of March l-5, during the annual Iunior Pal week. Climax of the week is the party on Friday, March 5. All the girls meet their pals for the first time, and a hilarious time is had by all. The sophomore class is next in line on Proviso's stage, and presents a scintillating, laugh-provoking comedy, l'Elmer, starring those rising juvenile stars, Robert Dame and Sara Cfross, assisted by such headliners as Doris Boughton, Evelynne Gray, An- nabelle Pildes, Ioyce Goodfellow, Tune Clson, lack Logan, and Arthur Misicka. Sophomores really star on this occasion, sophomores present the play: sophomores compose the entire audience. Another exclusive assemblyfthis time the com- mercial students are honored guests. The speaker is Frank K. Dunn, informational service represen- tative of the Social Security board in Washington, D. C.

Eifteen Proviso students attend several of the sessions, and nine aspiring writers are granted interviews with the celebrities. Along come after-school amateur hours, beginning March ll. These programs are opportunities for the especially talented in Proviso's cast to Gain ex- perience in their lines of dancing, singing, playing, impersonating, or reading, or whatever their particu- lar talents may be. The auditorium is the scene of another mass meet- ing, as a P.-T. A. group is amused by a new type of program. An unusual ensemble, composed of a brass sextet and a marimba trio, plays several num- bers, and girls from the groups in interpretive danc- ing demonstrate class procedure and dance tech- nique to fond mamas and papas. All automobile drivers and those who hope to be, in Proviso's cast, learn their reaction time, powers of concentration and vision, and resistance to glare AUTO DRIVERS ARE TESTED in a series of tests given by the Chicago Motor club for the week beginning March l5. What? Another assembly? Yes. This time it's a musical program on March l6, sponsored by the choir, which stars, assisted by a wind and a string ensemble, a trombone quartet, and a string trio. Yet another assembly-honor students are pre- sented with scholarship medals-fbronze, silver, and gold. Mr. Sifert awards the medals to their earners, and the names of the freshmen with perfect seal records at the end of the first semester are an- nounced. Other freshmen frolic at a party on March l9. Entertainment ranges from a harmonica solo to a bit of Shakespeare. Refreshments are served in the cafeteria, and dancing is the order cf the evening in both new and old gyms. The sophomores present a new plan for scholas- tic recognition, planned by the scholarship com- mittee of that class. By this plan, parents of stu- dents who have made marked improvements in grades, but who would otherwise have been shown no recognition, now receive letters of congratula- tion, Miss Hildebrandt succumbs tothe order of the day and speaks at Normal, lllinois, on March 20, at the ERESHMEN GO DRAM!-XTIC PERSONNEL OE THE ORCHESTRA VIOLINS: Le Roy Altenhofi, Violet Clement, Denton Clyde, George Danforth, Dorothy Davies, Anna Di Zonno, Ieanette Feuerstein, Herbert Fritzsche, Le Roy Froetscher, Bertram Fulton, lohn Fus- zek, Preston Cfendler, Arthur Hubsch, Erica lantzen, Walter lordt, Martin Karachun, Herbert Kubitschek, Vollie Kupper, Helen Lant, Earl Martin, Dorothea Medal, Albert Oliver Evelyn Olson, George Pecor, Della Petterson, Frank Preston, Louis Romano, Khnneth Roqueniore, Corinna Slice, Martin Smith, 'William Susal, Fred Thierbach, Laura Lu Tolited, lrma Traunsteiner, Ruth Vid- lungl, Alvin Warnecke, Miriam Walker, Malcolm Willson VTOLAS: lclin Eezharas, Ruth Burnham, Robert Dame, Louise Gieenwell, Alden lame-s, Norman lolinson, Frances Lindhorst, Diictlij Pairing, Edith Sawusch, Doris Schulz ORCHESTRA PARENTS Mrs. Davies, Mrs. Roquernore, Mr. Oliver, Mrs. Tolsted CELLOS: Doris Ball, Robert Davis, Ruth Decker, Marion Kubit- schek, Nancy Leake, Carolyn McLaughlin, Dorothy Parker, Lor- raine Piister, Elmer Tolsted BASSES: Alfred Dahrns, Henry Groenhof, Edward Hepperle, Bere wyn Hildebrandt, Clarence Hintz, Clyde Kane, Mildred Samrow FLUTES: Ruth Greinke, Carol Parker, Ellen Williams OBOES: Walter Nechoda, Catherine Van Pelt CLARINETS: Charles Doherty, Vernon Forgue, Howard Gries- bach, Charles Moore BASSOONS: Helen Cain, Paul Nellen HORNS: Albert Cary, Clyde Hallowell, Pauline Kurz, Elmer Ros- enwinkel TRUMPETS: Kenneth Black, Rlanche Boesen, Roger Coleman, loseph Paiurne, Larry Sarahan TROMBONES: Chester Brosseit, Stanley Mankunas, Bruce Scid- more TUBAZ lack Cotterell PERCUSSlON: George Flight, George Pitts, Algrid Smigelski MARlMBA: Ruth Kern LlBRARlAN: Barbara Daniels NEO-PYTHAGOREANS Top Row: Lalitocca, lohnson, Bock, lohnson Fourth Row: Frederickson, Lehn- hardt, Williams, DuP'uis, Hepperle, Sherbert, Andermann, Ulrich, Thistlethwaite Third Row: Lehnhardt, H., Fleck, Glaess, Zahrte, Barzenick, Plagge, Lauth, Kingdon, Murray, Ptende Second Row: Halffield Cargill, Hanson, Vertuno, Rush, Polanco, Hinz, Lundblad, Amling, Kurz Bottom Row: Boesen, Gross, Hessel- barth, Redden, Hawkins, Miss Hilde- brandt, Boughton, D., Boughton, R., Bradfield, Anderson VARSITY CLUB Top Row: Marousek, Essig, Osburn, Sansone, Iameson, Frantz, Hillery, Vahldick, Alles - f I 1 Willson, Seabrooke, Heileman, Miz- en, McGovney, Wolff, Sampson Third Row: Mr. Storby, Andersen, Felt, Corbett, Iohnson, Boss, Kane, Iacobs, Mohr, Mr. Slimmer Second Row: Mr. Appleton, Remick, Boehm, Cronin, Stackpool, Grove, Buck, Fass, Mr. Hailey, Mr. Matte Bottom Row: De La Paz, Groves, Pelletier, Merrill, Radice, Schmidt, Conners, Huebner, Bishop annual banquet of the Kappa Mu Epsilon, honor fraternity.

All the seniors step into the limelight as they are measured for caps and gowns, and as they vote on class colors, motto, and baccalaureate speaker. Colors: red, black, and gold: voters still undecided on motto and speaker. More of the modern methods in teaching are evi- dent in the economics studios. ln an attempt to clarify the study of investments, seventy-one mem- bers of these classes create Co-operative lnvest- ments, Incorporated.

SENORS AND SENORITAS COULD IT BE THE VARSITY CLUB? SELLING MOVIE TICKETS last regular concert on March l4. Symphony in D Minor, by Cesar Franck, required number for the national contest at Columbus, Ohio, brings the pro- gram to an exultant climax. Selections from Liszt, Tschaikowsky, Paganini, and Ippolitow-lwanow show the scope of the orchestra's repertoire. The choir, Mr. Osburn directing, helps make this last concert one of the most musical and inspirational of the year. Sprig is here, sprig is here! Hi-Y-ers take a hint from the weather and present One Frightened Night as their annual movie. This nerve-tingling, hair-raising, scream-filled mellerdrammer comes on March 25. The menu for the day calls for a sports reel and cartoon for dessert, and an unusual game, I-Ii-Y-O is played, the winners being awarded free copies of the 1937 Provi. Varsiteers go through another session of Chinese torture, all for the sake of wearing a big P on their chests.

Pep club members sell tickets to their movie, pro- ceeds of which are to be used to help meet expenses at a basketball and wrestling banquet to be Given in April. ATHLETICS All right, all rightg we know that the basketball troupe has put on a stupendous performance, but the forecast of the baseball cast looks just as colos- sal. But first, the program of March is to be shown. It is composed of the beginning of the track and baseball seasons. D. B. Appleton and O. H. Matte are the featured stars in baseball and track, res- pectively. The setting of each sport will be indoors, but only during the month of March, which is prob- ably the quietest period in the nine months sports program. Track enthusiasts report to rehearse for the in- door meet, with Oak Park as the setting, on March 8. Proviso finishes fifth, with New Trier taking the applause. On March l5, Director Matte calls for his track characters, but because of lack of practice facilities, they are slow in limbering up. Several lettermen are returning to brighten the team's prospects for another good season. Two shots are taken on March 23 of the best tal- ented actors among the lunior and Senior classes. In the first act, the luniors bow to the upperclassmen before an overflow audience, 26-l3, while the tactics are reversed in the finale, I4-l2. GOING UP I OOPS ! Because Lane Tech, city champ, is on the base- ball program for April 10, Director Appleton calls his players in March to direct them in rehearsals for the tough campaign coming up. Each of his actors, with seven returning veteran stars, drills in the gymnasium for three Weeks before the opening play. The personnel of this year's ball cast includes seven characters who have had previous experience. The infield seems Well fortified with players Grove, Pelletier, and Merrill composing the battery. Aid will be given by two other pitching actors, namely, Graf and Surges. Three fielding artists are in line for feature parts, With Sampson, Guiney, and Er- misch forming the nucleus of the infield. D'Anza will fill in at shortstop to team with the other three to give Proviso the best infield in the Suburban lea- gue. The outfield seems to be the weakest part of the team, er, Stackpool, and-Bubis are out for hero jobs in those positions. THE FIELD-I-IOUSE GROWS THE ARCHITECTS VISION ww A ,sais K-iff? :gr .

Word of the death of Iohn L. Hanley, president of the P.-T.A. at Proviso, comes as a shock to all his friends here. Mr. Hanley was leading an ex- emplary life, and establishing a standard and ideal for young people to follow. The whole school mourns the death of such a leader. On April 6, the Cornell College A Cappella choir comes to Proviso to present a concert of spiritual and religious music at an assembly for seniors and music students. Two members of the group are Proviso graduates: Rosa Lee Osburn and Richard Wessling. The leader, Harold W. Baltz, directs the choir in singing a group of excellent choral numbers, On the same day, seventy-five seniors and twenty- six juniors are elected to the National Honor Society of Secondary Schools. For the first time in the his- tory of Proviso, those in the upper three per cent of the senior class, scholastically, are declared auto- matically elected members. It is interesting to note, that of the juniors elected Hdwere in Proviso as freshmen, many were continuously on the honor roll in that first year. The first three of a group of Vocational Guidance conferences planned by advisers to aid students in determining what fields of work they are best suited to enter, are held on April 7. The fields dis- cussed in these three sessions are pharmacy, nurs- ing, and forestry. Other conferences will be held later in the year, The entire senior cast finally chooses a class motto and a baccalaureate speaker. Class colors have already been selected. The motto chosen is Man is man, and master of his fate , the speaker, the Reverend W. I. Cramer, pastor of the St. Iohn's Evangelical Lutheran church in Melrose Park. Seniors make a bow again, as, rehearsals finally over and all preparations completed, they present the senior class play, Monsieur Beaucairef' by Booth Tarkington.

Directors Appleton, Matte, Foster, I-latley, Kassel, and Rider are promoting a show of baseball, track, and golf, and heavyweight, lightweight, an d fresh-soph spring football, respectively. The baseball cast continues to drill indoors until April lU comes, when it travels to Lane Tech and makes the defending city champs bow twice, 5-4 and ll-lO. An intermission of two days passes be- fore Waukegan plays host to the local stars. With Grove pitching a one-hit ball game, the Proviso players are heroes in winning their first league con- test, 5-O. On April 22, Oak Park entertains Proviso and the latter presents a superior performance, l-U. Actors Guiney and Sampson collaborate in breaking up the act. The next scene, scheduled with Evanston four days later, is postponed until a later date. Too wiiitry. A game with the toughest cast in the loop, Mor- ton, is also postponed.

BASEBALL lN 1913 t t THE i937 IUNIOR-SENIOR PROMENADE IN MAY May, which presents the closing scenes of Pro- viso on Parade, is not yet run off at time of going to press, but exists only in scenario form, subject to change without notice. Featured players in this reel are the members of the Class of l937, that outstanding ensemble of the great production, so soon to seek their fortunes on other lots. They gradually grow aware of the fact that as active members of Proviso, they are due for a fade-out: when all other classes elect officers for next year, they do nothing except to vote on Student Council and Girls' League candidates. May 4, a triple assembly is addressed by D. M. Ladd of the Federal Bureau of lnvestigation. May 51 enrollment for next year begins, again the seniors are aware of being non-essential. But on May 7, when they attend the annual lunior-senior Promen- ade at the Oak Park club, and dance to the music of the orchestra directed by Carl Schreiber, formerly of Proviso and now of the whole country, they get a vision of the fact that real achievement may some day be theirs. Most of the dancers stay until the musicians pack their instruments, and then leave regretfully. This is the most impressive beginning of the end for them as high schoolers. The Class of l938, beginning to loom on the hori- zon as highly important as host at the Prom, takes the spotlight again in a scientific assembly held on May ll, under the tutelage of I. W. Moelk. Demon- strations of optical illusions and other forms of popular science prove entertaining to the spectators. Commercial clubbers combine speeches by busi- ness men from Chicago with a banquet for their final fling of the year. Third-year Latin students write and act a playlet based on the conspiracy of Cataline, under the direction of Miss lulia Evans, for their last public appearance. The Installation ceremony of the Girls' League occurs on Thursday, May l3. Retiring officers are Camilla Edbrooke, Marian Boeger, leanne Betts, Betty Wade, and Elaine Werninghausg incoming ones, leanne Betts, president: Ieannette Wynne, first vice-president, Ieanette Andermann, second vice- presidentg Betty Rodger, secretary, Alice Anderson, treasurer. The flowers, the music, the symbolism, blend with associations and memories to make the occasion impressive. Another of the last affairs of high school days. Proviso representatives have qualified for some of the state and national contests taking place this month, but what the results may be is not known at the time this script is being prepared. Bookkeep- ing finals are at Urbana on May l4p golf finals, the same day and placeq the National Orchestra and National Solo and Ensemble contests take place in Columbus, Ohio, May l3 to l6, inclusive. May l5, contestants in the prepared and extemporaneous writing skills held under the auspices of the Greater Chicago Scholastic Press Guild, hold a banquet and receive awards. Tuesday evening, May l8, the Second Annual CAMILLA EDBROOKE MARIAN BOEGER IEANNE BETTS BETTY WADE ELAINE WERNINGI-IAUS GIRLS' LEAGUE OFFICERS 1936-37 Outdoor Spring festival will be held. The physical education department, both boys' and girls' and the music department will provide the features of the evening. A parade of champions, with Manley W. lmmel as ringmaster, will be the outstanding event. Seniors submit to final examinations on Thursday and Friday, May 20 and Zl. Friday afternoon, those who survive the examinations practice putting the left foot first in time to processional music. The Varsity club dance concludes the exercises of the day. Commencement week! Those who entered the great studios of Proviso four short years ago as novices are now being released to go forth and try their acquired skill in the vast studios of the world. This final week puts the seal of approval on their achievements here. The special service Sunday evening, with the Reverend W. l. Cramer of Melrose Park as the speaker, and other clergymen assisting, starts the week. I-Ionor assemblies on Monday give visible token to many seniors and to a goodly number of underlings of merit in various lines. Class day is the final program in which seniors play an active NEW AND OLD LEAGUE OFFICERS Back Row-Marian Boeger, leannette Wynne, Elaine Werninghaus, Betty Wade. Front Row-Alice Anderson, leanne Betts, Camilla Edbroolze, leanette Andermann, Betty Rodger. party the traditional ceremonies, the play, the music, and finally, the l937 Provi, all contribute to the occasion. Commencement exercises on Friday night, May 28. The weather permitting, the procedure of the last two years will be followed: the exercises will be held in the stadium, with the processional and recessional music, played on the auditorium pipe organ, broadcast to the bleachers. The long line of gray-gowned seniors files through the stadium and up the steps of bleachers erected opposite to the concrete stands where are hundreds of proud par- ents, each watching eagerly to find his own child in the longeprocession. As the service proceeds, and the Reverend Charles W. Gillcey, of the University of Chicago chapel, utters words of wisdom, day- light gradually dies away: modern arc lights and ancient stars lend their illumination. The superin- tendent presents the graduates, who walk slowly to the front of the stage as their names are called, and receive the final seal of approval, the coveted diploma. The recessional, congratulations, fare- wells, silence. Proviso on Parade is over for the Class of 1937. FEMININE WARBLERS W , wi ' 'ww a 'wx Q . 5 2 H 5 sasfi K .

Yes: they're going sports-minded, and are out to make a name for them- selves in football, basketball, and track. There are several muscle-men on the field nowy look closely and you'll recognize Dave Buck, Steve Mizen, Pete Sagalewich, and Rich Cronin. Lights, music, and song!

One more year gone! School closes for the sum- rner vacation today. The Class of l937 looks for- ward to still greater scenes on some future lot. TIME MARCHES ON! 1935 Hello! Your news correspondent back again to bring you scenes in the lives of the juniors. Cast your glances upon our friends of the Class of 1937. They look sure of themselves, don't they? After all, they're upperclassmen now. Election time! The junior nominating committee is now presenting its report to the class, and before you are some of the candidates for office. Let's listen to lames Felt as he presents his platform: I'll do my best to make the third year the finest for Class 1937. If I can, l'll make the Prom the best affair we've ever had. Evidently the juniors are in favor of him: listen to the applause. And here is the final ballot: james Felt, presidenty Ellen Williams, Carol Parker, and Marben Carstens, assistants. World of sports! Many junior boys are out on that football field fighting for the school against Oak Park. These boys ought to be bright stars next sea- son, even if they didn't win today. Keep your eye on them! World of social events! Look at those tantalizing Thanksgiving baskets. The whole school is sending them to cheer some families which can't afford a real Thanksgiving dinner. You'll recognize some of the delivery boys as our friends of '37. Remarkable! Here are the charming Tatterman Marionettes presenting The Glowing Bird to Pro- viso. Notice how life-like the tiny figures are as they move about the stage. juniors get their big chance! Those who studied news writing are now ready to be taken on to the Pageant staff. Take a glimpse at their determined faces as they start their jobs. lf they make good this semester, maybe there will be something better for them next year. Biggest week of the year! Watch those junior girls exchanging notes and gifts with their pals. Let's hear what Lesley McBride, second vice-presi- dent ofthe Girls' League, has to say about this event: l feel as the other junior girls dog that 'Pal week' is the main event of the year. It's tops in fun and frolic. Stupendous performance! The G. A. A. show for 1936 takes the prize as the best show of its kind. In the spotlight you'll see Aleta Baron, Muriel Bull, Ralph Buyer, Alwin Foleno, Helen MacPhail, Lor- aine Rall, Bill Ramsay, Arlene Vanek, and Miriam Walker, all of the Class of '37. Seniors and juniors mix! The mixer, one of the most popular dances of the year, scores a suc- cess. Listen to the strains of Ray Lee's orchestra, and watch those socialites sway to the rhythm.

Event of the year! The Prom swings off to a merry start. juniors rise to the occasion as hosts and host- esses and give the seniors a time they'll long re- member. Look at the dazzling gowns and flowers on the girls. Here comes Ellen Williams, vice-presi- dent of the junior class, to say a few words: Having a fine time: wish you were here. Maybe those juniors who are missing this party will put on their dancing shoes next year. Something for the girls! Twenty-six members of the fairer sex are elected to the Senior Guard in their third year. The installation, as you can see, is very moving. Look at the beautiful flowers that adorn the new president of the league, Camilla Ed- brooke. Marian Boeger, Betty Wade, Elaine Wern- inghaus, and Marian Robb are her helpers. Election returns! Henry Schmidt, newly elected president of the class, will now give you his report: Those selected to work with me next year are Les- ley McBride, ludith Cleland, and Paul Yates. We'll try to make the year a record one. The last day of school! By the sober expression, you'd think these juniors were actually sorry to complete the year. They're all looking forward to the time when they'll be seniors. K E L 5 tr, !! lt ll mm -1-1 I-t -tmzo-:omg mi f fi t t l f ?

Many of our old friends can be seen today, as they return for one more fling at knowledge. Something new! The first social event of the year is the Fall Frolic. You'll notice that party-goers are not masquerading tonight, as was the custom in pre- vious years. From the look of things, no bright-col- ored costumes are needed to liven it up. Going up! A field-house for Proviso! Yes, through the efforts of the whole township, the plans you see before you will be developed into a top-notch field- house for the boys. Advance news! Miss Otis has selected a group to work with her on the Provi for l937. Dorothy Car- ver, eoliTOTflTi-cl'1're'f, gives the g The associate editors are Bruce Carson and Harry Guiney. Laura Campbell is the managing editor: Natalie Piancino and Arlene Vanek are assistant editors. The entire staff will endeavor to keep up the standard set by last year's book. Toys for invalids! The Dionne Quints, Shirley Temples, and Baby Bubbles that you see are not the real thing, but dolls dressed by the Cfirls' League, Never have the dolls been so attractively dressed as this year. Piled high beside the babies are toys made over by the Senior Hi-Y. These clubs a real Christmas Hospital. have worked hard to make this for shut-in children at the County Christmas in the air! Why the Chimes Rang is presented by Proviso Players the day before Christ- mas vacation. The gleaming altar, colorful cos- tumes, and thoughtful acting bring the Christmas spirit into the audience's heart. On to victory! The Proviso Pirates win the Pontiac Tourney, and bring home the cup. The team almost won last year, and they didn't let the honor get away this time. Let's give the Pirates the hand they deserve. D.A.R. Award given! Laura Campbell wins this high honor, given on the basis of dependability, service, leadership, and patriotism. Laura says: l feel very fortunate in winning such an award, and l thank all the senior girls and faculty members who voted for me. Banquet for Pirates! The Pep Club sponsors this spectacular gathering for the basketball and wres- tling teams. The cafeteria, decorated to represent a pirate ship, is the last word in originality. Sitting about the tables you see Rich Cronin, Hank Heile- man, Dave Buck, Steve Mizen, and Pete Sagale- wich, the seniors who have played their last game for the Proviso fans. The wrestlers are Henry Schmidt, Art McGovney, Lawrence Willson, Leo Conners, Vernon Collard, and Harold Pass. 173 The greatest honor of all! Seventy-five more mem- bers ofthe Class of '37 are elected to National Honor society: these added to the nine elected last year make a total membership of eighty-four in this class. Those on the left side of the stage are the twenty who went in automatically for scholarship. The six- ty-odd on the right are those who were voted upon. Yes, these seniors have accomplished something great this time. Pre-view showing! Monsieur Beaucaire is the title of the drama-comedy now being enacted for you. Loraine Ball and Bobert Knopf are the leading characters. Listen to the spectators as they demand curtain calls for the cast. A ship-load of good fellows! Good Fellowship week is sailing smoothly along with Marian Boeger at the helm. Marian says: This is the senior girls' last chance to get acquain- ted with each other, and you can see that they're taking advantage of the opportunity. Seniors score again! This time as guests, they are on the receiving end as the juniors make them at home at the Prom. From what we can see, nearly every one of the senior sophisticates is here, enjoy- ing his last party. Most of the guests are staying until the orchestra leaves, in order to make the Prom last as long as possible. Gold medalers! Scattered somewhere over the set are the following medal winners: Frank Behrendt, Marian Boeger, Evelyn Boyd, Laura Campbell, Mil- dred Capling, Erna Carnot, Bruce Carson, Anna Ca- tenacci, Iudith Cleland, Arthur Holland, Buth Kaul, Irma Lang, Hobart Lande, Myrtle Milles, Elma Pusch- eck, Edward Richter, Henry Schmidt, Elsie Slotky, and Elmer Tolsted. Biggest splash party of the year! As the senior girls give their places in the Girls' League to young- er members, there is a free flow of tears from both participants and the audience. This service is very affecting: as the organ strains of Estrallita fall on the girls' ears, tears drip. Flash! The event of all events! Graduation night is the final feature on the calendar. Listen to the marching feet of the boys and girls before you. Look at their faces, and you'll see that ninety-nine per cent of them are thoughtful. Henry Schmidt sums up their feelings: I speak for the whole Class of I937, when I say that we thank Proviso for all it has done for us, and we are sorry to leave its doors forever. CLASS POEM By Arlene Vanek The flowers outdid themselves one spring' In England, Germany, and France: The wind, in his wild autumn dance, Said, I'll transport on airy wing These seeds. He tossed them o'er the sea, C'er mountains, valleys, country lanes, And followed them with gentle rains, And so our Garden came to be. These elements from far lands grew Within this country bright and strong: Though each still sang his native song, All sang America's anthem, too. It made no difference from what land These many strangers made their way: All grew together day by day, And worked together, hand in hand. And now today Fate sends away Those who have called Proviso home, To scatter far 'neath Heaven's dome As each one goes his separate way: But though they hold that Man is man, And master of his fate, they know That wheresoever they may go, They follow still some destined plan. WISHES By Arlene Vanek I asked for a cloak of the finest of plush: Instead, I was wrapped in the evening's soft hush I begged for bright diamonds made into a bar, But I was content with a twinkling star. I wanted a gown, just the picture of grace: I took, instead, the moonbeam's pale lace. I loved a warm blanket of colorful hue: I had one of night mist lined with sweet dew. Soft music was mine as I danced down the lane, But music that came from the tinkle of rain. I wanted rich perfume to treasure with care: The perfume I smelled was the spring in the air. I wanted your smile and the nod of your head: How can I behappy with nothing instead?

Automobiles, airplanes, streamlined trains, and skyscrapers would be im,- possible without it. Our present-day civilization may almost be said to be erected upon a foundation of steel. But steel, like other metals, is an alloy. Iron, in its original form, is too soft to be useful. But when mixed with chromium, which will not rust, it results in the finished product of stainless steel-durable, majestic, beautiful. Iron mixed with tungsten makes steel which will remain hard at red heat, and tools which do the work of the world at speeds faster than ever attained before. Cn the other hand, iron combined with carbon, the chief constituent of coal, results in steel which is very hard, but brittle. Scarcely any of our large industries requiring the use of steel would be possible today if it were not for the invention of various alloy steels. Each of them differs slightly from the others as necessary to meet the uses to which each will be put. Even gold and silver must be mixed with copper in order to make them hard enough to use for coins and jewelry. ln View of these points, then, we can truly say this is an Age of Alloys. It may well be said that in Proviso, there exists the beginning of such alloys. Forty different nation- alities may be compared to the various metals. Each has some definite contribution to the whole, each adds something that strengthens or beautifies. The English exactness, the Italian love for music, the French flair for fashions, the German thriftiness, the Spanish exuberance-all are mixed and blended together in the up-and-coming melting pot that is Proviso. This school is the laboratory, the foundry in which these characteristics will be tested, molded, welded, and forged. Each national trait must be added in just the right proportion, all waste ma- terials must be discarded, the finished product must be perfectly refined. It must be durable to with- stand stress of adversity, it must be strong, like stain- less steel, to withstand the corrosion of false propa- ganda, and it must be elastic to spring back after temporary strain. To illustrate these points, let us present some actual facts concerning the nationalities of the Class of '3'7. Twenty-two seniors were born in foreign lands: Lydia Wolff, Paul Nellen, Erica Iantzen, Wer- ner Laue, Irma Etzien, Hilda Ewert, Gerhard Vogt, and Gerda Von Gehr, Germany, Edward Knorring, lapan, Lesley McBride, India, Tony Caliendo and Natalie Piancino, Italy, Erik Roos, Denmark, George Alles, Greece, Doris Watkins, Thomas Ellison, and Albert Eldridge, England, Helen MacPhail, Leo Con- ners, Walter Keillor, Lawrence Willson, Canada: Nick Kafka, Roumania. Although Germany takes the lead with students, Russia maintains the record for the highest number of seniors' parents born there. Parents of thirty seniors were born in Russia, twenty-nine in Ger- many, twenty-four in Italy, fourteen in Lithuania, eleven in Poland, nine in Austria, eight in England, five in Hungary, and fewer than five in Sweden, Czechoslovakia, Denmark, Holland, Scotland, Nor- way, Greece, Latvia, Canada, Iugoslavia, France, Switzerland, and Ireland. Only in cases where both parents were born abroad have they been included in this list. Visitors from all over the world bring direct con- tact with peoples from foreign lands to students in Proviso. In the past few years, fifteen persons have spoken to the students, bringing new ideas and new viewpoints for discussion. Dr. Mathew Cable and Miss Ieannie Hume from New Zealand, Dr. Gordon Rowell and Dr. Gordon Saggers from Australia, Dr. Robert Hunt from England, Baroness Monica Von Militz and Mrs. Margarete Harnisch-Kaiser, .from Germany, Dr. Lici Weiss and Dr. Paul Dengler from Austria, Dr. Harbans Lae, from India, Misses Louise and Hazel Chou, from China, Miss Hatsu Imajo, from lapan, Giuseppe Castruccio and Miss Rosa Raisa, from Italy-all have made definite contributions to the cosmopolitan spirit of Proviso. What is true of Proviso is true in still greater measure of America as a whole. She is a com- posite of many races and many cultures. For a generation or two, those who come from foreign lands tend to settle in communities with others of their kind, to persist in the use of their mother tongue, and to publish newspapers in that tongue. But by the time the next generation comes to ma- turity, racial characteristics and differences begin to disappear, from diverse sources, a new type emerges, the American of the future. lust what that type will be, no one can predict. But that it will discard the less desirable and retain the more val- uable traits of each element, is to be profoundly hoped. Meanwhile, in Proviso and in hundreds of other schools throughout the land, the blending process goes on. In that process, tolerance of an alien point of view, understanding, sympathy, and kindliness are of inestimable value. The Provi of 1937 seeks to increase the operation of those qualities in Pro- viso by the use of world citizenship as its theme. The Mike Polls for Monley. Shoeless Wonders. King of Swing.

Taylor and Garbo may boast of their thousands of letters, but the local cast has truly an international follow- ing. England, France, japan, and many points east and west contribute their bit to the flood of interna- tional good will heading toward Proviso. Many of the customs and experiences of foreign students are related here, along with their views and opinions on current problems of the day. Let- ters from a number of celebrities are also included, Toyohiko Kagawa and Mrs. Kaiser-I-Iarnisch, among the better known. This mail bag is dedicated to international amity. If just one reader gains a clearer understanding of ' ' f1-tends across t-he Wa-ter, boys are not always supposed to pay for the movie ticket for their girl friends, even if they do invite them to go places to see one of your American movies, which we import and enjoy as well as we enjoy the German plays. We found it quite interesting to learn that America is no longer a country of Indians and cowboys. You probably do not know how fond we are of all the noble heroes about whom We have read in the Indian stories, which form a very important part of our children's literature. Winnetou, the noble chief of the Apaches, and many other Redskins and trappers are alive in our imagination as the heroes of America's early days. We are a little bit puzzled not to find them any more while we are crossing the Ozarks and Alleghenies, but if we have our eyes and a more sympathetic, more cosmopolitan outlook, this mail bag will have served its purpose. FROM GERMANY This letter is from Mrs. Margarete Kaiser-Harnisch, one of the outstanding journalists of Germany, and prominent in her country as an organizer of women's clubs. She spoke at a special assembly in Proviso on April 15. The letter was received through Miss Helen Grant Norman while Mrs. Harnisch was on her second American tour. To the students of Proviso Township High School: When a European traveler enters the harbor of New York and sees the sky-line of Manhattan shin- ing in the fluffy clouds, he cannot help feeling some of the excitement which the first settlers experienced when they came to this country to build a new world. America is still the New World for us people from Europe. We love our good old world, but We have always been deeply interested in the development of your new continent. Quite often Americans ask their guests, Why did you come to this country? Well, 1 answer, because we feel that a trip to the United States is as educational to us as a trip to Europe is supposed to be to Americans. Very different is your country from ours, and yet I have found it understandable and likable. In 1931, I made up my mind to book a trip to New York to see America since l had already seen many European countries, but my plans did not work out until 1935. My enthusiasm, however, to visit your America for the great thrill I would get out of seeing her skyscrapers, her purple mountains and lakes, her hills, prairies, and sea shores, had not lessened in the meantime. I have found that very little of our own daily life is known over here. Many Americans do not real- ize that we have to live under very different natural and social conditions, though many of our interests and activities are similar to yours. For example, our and ears open, We do see frrtrch ofrthe p'l'o'neer spirit still alive, especially if We go farther West. Comparisons between Europe and America are dangerous. You have been brought up under dif- ferent religions, different social and political con- ditions. You have benefited from natural resources of which Europe could never boast. Your very edu- cation is of another brand. While we were believing in classical studies and preparing for an intellectual life, you were of necessity interested in making yourselves fit to cope with practical life. Nowadays, you will find that a trend fostering the practical side of education is marching on successfully in Europe, while ever more young people in this country are going to get an intellectual education of which their parents never dreamed. Class distinctions, common in the history of Europe, have played a role in the economic history of Germany which cannot be com- pared with conditions in this country where the self- made man has always been an ideal. But there can be understanding between nations, however. One thing which would make for inter- nationalism, were all sides able to give up preju- dices, would be the study of languages. Foreign languages should be studied for more than practical purposes. I never dreamed of getting to America while I was a child, but I enjoyed studying English as well as French and Latin. I have had to adjust my English to some of your idioms, of course, be- cause one who learns English usually is able to read Shakespeare but is not able to ask for hot dogs with mustard. This adjustment, however, is something that even a greenhorn can make quickly: so today I am tempted to affirm an appoint- ment by saying O.K. just as you might say knorke were you to visit my home town of Ber- lin. This is a German slang expression, popular with our young people, meaning lust swelll 1 would not have you think that we always talk that way, but we do at times, just as you do. i Let me close with a word that was really said to me by one of your own teachers. Mrs. Kaiser, she said, after meeting you and your family and friends, I feel more keenly than ever before that if the peoples of the world could somehow learn to know each other better, suspicion and jealousy, selfishness and hatred, would gradually give place to an international understanding with an actual 'peace on earth, good will toward men.' And I agree, you of America are not so different from us of Germany after all. Most sincerely yours, Margarete Kaiser-I-Iarnisch FROM FRANCE Typicalof the correspondence carried on by ad- vanced students in the modern language classes is this letter received by Yolanda Oliaro, '37. Paris, France I8 Mars, l937 Paris will be the subject of my letter. I don't know whether my impressions about Paris are rigorously exact, but I see it, I understand it, I relate it such as it appears to me. When we speak about Paris, ever we add: Paris, light-town, Paris, museum-town, Paris and its night-clubs : it's exact, but exagger- ated. I know that the large avenues' illuminations are splendid, the Eiffel Tower is a great work, hardy for the epoch, the Louvre's museum contains inesti- mable treasures, the joyful good-livers amuse them- selves in the music halls of Montmartre, but there are other things. Paris has another charm and the true Parisian gets tired very quickly of the grand illuminations, of the museums, of the jazz's noise. Butl admit that we discover the true aspect of Paris only after many years of stay in the capital. Paris has its poesy in each season: In Spring and Summer: the Boulogne's forest, the great pleasure-gardens, the botanical-gardens, the zoological garden. In Autumn and Winter: the marvelous crepuscules on the Seine, the dark colour of the trees, and sometimes the snow that covers the details of the Parisian architecture. Paris has its charm likewise in the luxurious quar- ters and that in the working quarters. The large avenues of the quarter of the Star, bordered with splendid private houses, have a noble gait, indeed! But Montmartre is very moving, with its old sheds of artist with the winddws always flowered, its wind- ing streets which ascend to the same point: the Sacred-Heart Church. The quarter of the Monceau's garden, very aristocratic, is a little stern. But the quarter of the Great Schools and Universities full of students Cthe hope of the Francell is very joyous. They are my impressions very personal. But the difficultest man can interest himself at Paris! The man fond of architecture can see the Opera, the Great-Palace, Our-Lady Church, the Pantheon, the Louvre, etc. The man fond of pictures, paint, or sculptures goes to the museums of Louvre, Carnavalet, Luxembourg, etc. The man fond of music goes to the concerts uni- versally known. The man fond of nature takes a walk to the Bou- logne's forest or to the Luxembourg or Tuileries Very charming. Lastly, the man who wishes divert himself, there are numerous theatres, music-halls, and movies. But the next month the Exposition of Arts and Techniques will augment the grandeur of Paris. She will be, I hope, a complete success. I hope, also, that the foreign visitors shall are numerous. I know that the French stearners of the line: New-York, Plymouth, Le Havre, are all reserved during the Ex- position. Numerous foreign countries shall are represented and the most important shall are: U.S.A., Germany, England, Russia, Italy, Belgium. The clou will be the new Trocadero's Palace with its immense under- ground theatre. Paris is a joyous and interest town. And so as I think see New-York, I hope that you will come, very numerous, to visit Paris during or after the Expo- sition, the French youth will receive you with glad- ness! Andre Goudier FROM IAPAN Toyohiko Kagawa, social worker, humanitarian, poet, and lecturer, is one of the foremost Christian leaders in the world today. Moving spirit of that faith in his native Iapan, he has profoundly influ- enced the whole field of religious and social thought. Described as the most Christ-like of modern lead- ers, his fame has spread the length and breadth of the world through his brilliant lectures, his humble, self-sacrificing personality, and his deep under- standing of human nature. His work in the slums of Kobe, his co-operatives to aid poor farmers, and his struggle to prominence through a sea of disbelief and physical suffering stamp him as one of the truly great of the world. The Provi expresses its gratitude to Miss Amy Barnum for making this letter possible. TOYOHIKO KACAWA SOCIAL CITY SETTLEMENTS No. 5, 5-chome, Azuma-dori, Fukiai, Kobe.

I have recently returned from my fourth visit to your country, and my heart burns with the wish to speak to the hearts of you young people--and beg you to feel with me, the tie of world brotherhood. My first trip to the United States was in the year 1914. I Came 35 8 student to Princeton university. I was very poor. Often I lived for days on shredded wheat biscuit and milk--and not so much of that. Many of my ' W bird.U In vacation time I worked as a servant. I did my best. But I some- times made mistakes. Once I put salt instead of sugar into the coffee of breakfast worked in Once very climb out the young lady of the household, who always took her in bed. She was mad, and I was fired. At another time I a house that was fitted throughout with burglar alarms. early in the morning I opened the window that I might into the fresh air. It set the whole house into an up- roar. And again I was fired. After two years I returned to Japan. And again I toiled as a servant, trying to feed and clothe and cure and clean up the wretchedly poor people who lived in the slums of Kobe. Since those days, I have three times been invited to go back to your country to give lectures. The people have come by the thousands to hear me. On my recent visit, thousands were actually turned away--not able to get into the halls where I spoke. Now why was this? I am nothing to look at. My English pronunciation is terrible. My voice is harsh. But as day after day I looked from the platform over a sea of faces, I thought: NThese people have come to hear me, not because some people call me a leader, but because they know that I am a servant, that my life is given to serve the needs of my fellowmen in all the world. And in their own hearts there is a deep responsive chord.n Now I am thinking that you also want a message from me, because in your own souls there is a wish to serve--a hope that you may be able to help set in order and keep in order the splen- did country of which you are citizensg a hope that you may so serve your country that all may be fed and clothed and cured, in soul and body, and enabled to live useful and joyous lives. Make your land a model for all the world, my young friends. And my nation and all other nations will be eternally Yours gratefully, 181 FROM CZECHOSLOVAKIA This Czechoslovakian letter was secured through an aunt of Arlene Vanek, '37. To the Students of the lnstitution: This letter contains the story of the greatest glass- making town in the world. During the fourteenth century, the Bohemians and Germans formed a small village by the name of Iablonetz ttaken from the word appletree l. At that time no one dreamed of the world-wide fame it would acquire. This fame started in the year l55O, when the first glass factory was opened. This gave a great deal of work to new-comers, and soon many various industries sprang up, one after the other. At the beginning, the progress was slow, and the people had to suffer during bad times, and rejoice with good times. The industries grew all through the centuries, and for this growth the present in- habitants can be thankful. Entirely modernistic, the city lies in the plate- manufacturing area. lt is five hundred yards above sea level, and has a population of 37,UOO, of which the greater number is German. Dense forests and high hills surround the great city, and running through it is a stream called Nisa, whose source is in the green hills. Not far away are the snow-blanketed mountains that can be reached by train in two hours. The peaceful mountains are different from the city, where the people lead a busy life. ln the center, gold and silver sculptors work on plates and other metal goods. The town shops are filled with foreign ex- ports, which connect the city with the whole world. A countless number of small industries are carried on in Iablonetz. Wherever one goes, he sees glass factories. The innumerable things manufactured cannot be named, the commerce of Iablonetz is widely distributed. Glass vases, bathroom sets, and a number of other articles are made. Fake jewels, which are popular all over the world, are cut here. One does not realize how much work is necessary to make one small glass trinket. Lard and other chemicals are put in the ovens to make glass. The fire heating these furnaces must never be allowed to go out. When the glass is taken from the oven and cut, it is cooled slowly. Much of the cut' glass is used for the making of buttons and cut beads. Each of these projects has its own various steps. Some of the neighboring glassmaking villages are Smrzovka, Housberk, Rychlov, Tumberk, Kskou- in, and joseph Valley. Each has its own personal lure, which enchants the visitors. The city of Iablo- netz is popular and famous in the Czechoslovakia statev-democratic republic. Signed, Trudie. FROM PANAMA , Robertlvlaher, '38, received this letter from a cor- respondent in Panama. Republic de Panama l am doing an effort trying to write you the whole letter in English. l don't know if l mentioned you before that we have a paper school named Nueva Luz which l preside. We must have ready the review before long. Really it is a hard work to get interesting articles, advises, etc. We play here basket and baseball. l love read- ing so much. Often l go to movies. My favorite actors are: Frederic March, Clark Gable, Warner Baxter, Ann Harding, and Greta Garbo, and Shirley Temple, too. Sometimes l drive my mother's car. lt is a fine Oldsmobile-style l935. By the other side, we organized too a contest, but no a beauty contest. ls a Conceurs de Simpa- ticos. l don't know how you call this. lt is very interesting and funny because with the only pur- pose to make a girl blushed before public, some of her joking friends vote for her but with few votes. On November 3 we have a holy day. l suppose you know why. On November 3, l903, we got our independence from Columbia and make of our coun- try a Republic free and sovereignty. November is for us a month full of holy days as you can see: November 3, independence from Columbia-Novem- ber 4, Flag Day-November lO and November 28- independence from Spain in l82l. l like very much this month. l had two weeks of vacation on September and I have enjoyed those days. l went to the Atlantic shore and visited a group of Su Blas lslands, where the people lived in big ranchos make of coconut leaves and use ring in the nose and speak in their own language. Few of them can speak Spanish nor English. This is the most beautiful place l ever saw with their coconut palms, their golden sand and their picturesque peo- ple. l would love to spend part of my life there. The lndians have canoes and sometimes they use arrows. They have too medicine dolls, maracas and many strange things. l spent the last week on my uncle's farm. l went horse-back riding, went to Santa Clara Beach and have a great fun. Now, l return to my school duties with the good purpose of obtain high notes, God willing. Always your friend, Iudith Miro. FROM ENGLAND l Park Lodge, St. Iohn's Wood Park, N. W. 8. March 17, l937 To the Students of Proviso, England is the land of traditions! Take away from Britannia its ancient customs and you despoil it of its most cherished heritage. ln this lies the ans- wer to the problem which holds English life in chan- nels of the past, such as antiquated residences, the fireplace instead of the furnace, the bed-heating bot- tle, the Yorkshire pudding, the morning dress for business men, and the millions of cups of tea con- sumed during the day. Many of these items the Eng- lish people could well afford to dispense with, par- ticularly many of its traditions which, to say the least, are not a source of pride, yet it would be noth- ing short ofheresy to deprive the inhabitants ofTEng- land of these, their glorious past age. ln the summer time, rural England is indeed beau- tiful, the countryside having the appearance of a huge park. Each farm, each estate, is separated from the next by well-trimmed hedges, some origi- nally of stone but now overgrown with grass or small shrubbery. While many of the fields are tilled for the production of grains and vegetables, a large portion of the country is set aside as pasture for sheep and cattle. The abundant amount of moisture is reflected in a luxuriant growth of grass of the greenest hue, which being kept well cropped by the animals, gives the parklike scene. Of antiquities, England is replete. There are the homes of old poets, ancient cathedrals galore, rem- nants of Roman occupation in the form of theatres, baths, etc. Almost all communities have hotels or road houses, the old public houses now referred to as pubs, in which resided or dined in days past some of the noted men of England, statesmen, mili- tary officers, poets, royal personages, and no doubt a few highway bandits. Of superlative interest, of course, is London, the world's largest metropolis, a city of limitless pro- portions, endless boundary lines, the seat of govern- ment, the home of royalty, the setting of Big Ben and the Bank of England, the last named being the fi- nancial stronghold of the world. While the center of attraction to both the natives and the tourists alike is Buckingham palace, the city residence of the king and queen, there are numerous other points exces- sively interesting. At the moment, as the English expression goes, the all-absorbing question is that of the coronation of a new king. The abdication of Edward VIII and the substitution on the throne of his brother, George Vl, has not perceptibly ruffled the stoic existence of the British public, although under the surface there is a current feeling that much of the enthusiasm for the coming event has been lost. Edward, now the FROM l APAN Sl-HKAO IKEHARA MATHEMATICAL INSTITUTE OSAKA IMPERIAL UNIVERSITY Gsaka, lapan This is my hC1pDY Opportunity to extend a cordial greeting from lapan to teachers and friends of Pro- viso, where l prepared myself for the Massachusetts lnstitute of Technology in the spring of l924. l am always grateful to Maywood friends who made me forget the fact of my being a foreigner, and who helped me understand and love the great spirit of America.

Awaiting the Signal WORLD ClTlZENSl-HP An Interview With Miss Amy Barnum By Arlene Vanek ln these days of trouble and turmoil among many nations, the idea of world citizenship seems very remote, if not, indeed, fantastic. Here in America where many nationalities make up the population, we seem to come nearer to realizing this idea than anywhere else in the world. Proviso is not unfamiliar with the term world citizenship. lts own student body contains repre- sentatives from many countries. There are among its teachers not a few who emphasize the necessity of understanding the alien. Foremost among these is, perhaps, Miss Amy Barnum, head of the history department, who, having traveled in both Europe and the Orient, and haling established Contact the Italians, to eat with the Chinese, to dance with the Austrians, is to increase our capacity to enjoy living. The world is so much steadier after one makes the acquaintance of British ideas, so much more beautiful after one has viewed the moon or the cherry trees with a Iapanesef' Many Americans, although they cannot afford to travel, have a desire to enrich their lives by becom- ing world-minded, by being able to understand for- eign people and their ways. When asked how to become more alive in this respect, Miss Barnum re- plied: World-mindedness is not the result of travel alone. To derive be ' with persons in distant lands, has developed that insight and tolerance which are the prime ingre- dients of world citizenship. When we hear stories of alien customs, we may think that peoples of foreign countries live an en- tirely different existence from ours, and we see no similarity between their personalities and ours. But Miss Barnum has studied further, and understands that we and they are alike in many ways. ln an interview with a Provi reporter, she says: Americans are no different from other peoples. There is a tendency on the part of every human being to think that his way of life is superior to that of others. That feeling of superiority is due to ignor- ance of other people's ways. When the leaders of nations do not understand people whose ways are different from their own, their misunderstanding often turns to fear, and even hate. So wars are bred. In a world in which there is so much goodness and beauty, it behooves us to open our eyes and see. Human beings are all seeking peace, security, and freedom, we would do well to help our fellow- men achieve happiness, as well as to seek to grasp it for ourselves. When one remembers that the notes in music, the rhythms of dancing, the colors in painting, the lines in architecture and sculpture, evoke the same emotions in all human beings, once they become familiar, the doors of appreciation are opened wide to a richer mental life. Those who have not been fortunate enough to travel in other lands, wonder what there is about the old world that has made its charm a topic of poets and authors since time began. Miss Barnum shares her knowledge, and tells us what other coun- tries can give us to broaden our education. Acquaintance with each nation of the earth fur- nishes us with new appreciation, new shades of meaning for old words and thought. To sing with must be world-minded first, and then travel is bene- ficial. A school such as ours offers splendid opportuni- ties to cultivate world-mindedness. The decendants of many nationalities mingle here to form our school population. The many tongues that are spoken in our community remind us constantly that the beauty of language and literature takes many forms. Lo- cated in the fertile heart of a great new nation, we have space and wealth and security. These things free our minds from fear, and so give us opportuni- ty to be generous and helpful in times of need. I believe that Americans must be world-minded in order to be good Americans. Only if we use our wealth and power as a member of the world com- munity shall we make a contribution to civilization. Let us seek to understand the stranger and the for- eigner in our midst. Let us think, when foreign ways come to our attention, 'No, it isn't funnyp it's French, or Chinese, or whatever it is.' Let us be sympathetic and eager to understand, and above all-kind. FIREFLIES- By Naomi Steffenhagen Fireflies in my garden! Little, happy sparks of life, Dancing among the nodding flowers, I wonder why they love the darkness so- Do they think they are making it brighter? Tiny rivals of the stars, Dare they compete with so vast a display? Perhaps they know that in their own little world, They are the stars! Perhaps they know that children need them To light the halls of Faeryland. If they should become neglectful And let their little lamps grow dim, The flowers would miss them, The children would miss them: And I would miss-the memories they bring. ENGLISH A LA CHINESE, The following theme was written by a first-year student at Hsiang Ya, a Chinese school. The writer's training is equal to that of a high school graduate. All his English has been taught by Chinese teachers. This theme is not printed to make fun of the student's English, but to show how foreigners struggle with the language. A SUPERSTITIOUS WAY TO TREAT A MANIAC IN MY MOTHER VILLAGE As a very serious inheritance from the ancestors, our inhabitants get the superstitious ways in doing everything, such as in wedding, in worship, and especially in curing insanity. In the center of the village, there is a very magnifi- cent temple in which we have a Buddha generally known as Holy Wang. It Was said that Holy Wang was a very muscular man before, and he carried the power of keeping people under his charity free from the aggression of elves. So people build a statue in honor of his kindness and bereavement when he died. For this reason Holy Wang is really busy, he will go out of his palace several times a day to do his duty for his people. But the only interesting thing he wishes to do is to treat a crazy man. Certainly it is not a fortune to the man who gets insanity and even more unfortunate to his whole family. So no sooner has a family a member inflicted with the terrible disease that they go to invite Holy Wang. Under the bright sunshine you will hear the noises of drums and trumpets and a group of crowds will also be seen meanwhile. Carry on the shoulders of four particular persons-the elders of that family is our Holy Wang. He is so tall, so strong that makes all the people frightful. His golden cloth shining in air dazzles the eyes of the people. The silver hel- met, the iron Whip in his hand and the fierce tiger being trampled under his foot, everything furnished on his body attempts from the people the astonished light and then refuses their staring. Every shouts loudly, old and young. Pilgrims all knell down on the ground and welcome their sole god with great warmth. It is gradually listened by the sick man and then will dash out with all his might. He is very terma- gant and jumps here and there that he will finally break in upon the tranquil respect of the assemblage and call the people all to naught. Of course, the four persons who carry Holy Wang will also escape away with a throw of the Buddha on the ground. The madman seeing this solemn statue will im- mediately plug up his roughness and totters listless- ly to him. Falling on his knee, the madman will intimately smell all over the wooden body. Then a man creeps silently and hides himself behind Holy Wang and says, as if the Buddha says, My fellow, your house is on fire. Ahl you see he dashes terribly onward and from that time on his disease is cured. Holy Wang is generous enough. Although he has cured the person well and given great hospitality to the people, yet he wants no payment, but a piece of pretty red silk is secured on his head to show his kind and brave deed. FROM ITALY Urbino, Italia Dear Brother Humbert: I2 Aprile, l937 I hope that this letter arrives at Proviso in plenty time for its publication in the Provi. I have delayed writing because I have been so busy, and, too, because like most individuals, I put off doing today what I can do tomorrow. Why do so many tourists come to Italy? you asked me. It is very easy to reply to that in a lengthy discussion, but difficult to reply briefly. All of us have a spontaneous as well as a keen desire to see again the land of our birth-the scenes of our childhood. Tourists desire to visit Italy-the cradle of civilization: the birthplace of the antique art and art of the Renaissance, of science, of law, of music, and of literature. So they come from across the Alps and beyond the oceans. There are those who come to Italy to regain their health beneath our beautiful serene skies and with the aid of our healthful climate: still others come to admire the great treasures of art in which Italy abounds. Those who feel a need for inspiration come to our shores and are not disappointed- Goethe, Shelley, Keats, Byron, and the Brownings were a few who came for this one thing and found it, and through their poetry have inspired the world. Musicians, singers, scientists, writers, and artists crowd Italy, and breathe deep of its old culture and civilization. New Italy offers to its tourists personal freedom and liberty. One finds in Italy much in the way of natural beauty. Who has not desired to see Genoa, Milano, Turino, the Italian Lakes, Venice, Florence, Rome, the Bay of Naples, Capri, Palermo, and the two Privieras? Who has not thrilled at the irresistible azure of Italian skies or the blue of its many seas? The Italian hotels, their Italian hospitality, Italian cooking, and Italian wines are the delight of its many tourists. So, briefly and in part I have responded to your question-Why do so many tourists come to Italy? I sincerely hope that the people of your great land of adoption may some day visit our shores and partake of the great beauty and advantages which Italy has to offer. Your affectionate brother, Virgilio. Humbert Gentilin, of the Italian department, received this letter from his brother, Virgilio Gentilin, a professor at the Iunior Col- lege in Urbino, Italy.

The Horrible Example, or The Enaraver's Error TWILIGHT POEMS IWritten as a classroom exercise in the course in creative writing, after words associated with the word twilight had been written on the blackboard, and the pupils asked to meditate until ideas occurred to them.l TWILIGHT ON THE LAKE By Lenore Worswick For one golden moment The sun poises itself on the treetops, And then dives from sight Over the edge of the world. As a purple haze gathers, The still air leaves the lake smooth as glass, No longer wrinkled with care. A hush has fallen on the world As it waits breathlessly for Night. For one long moment, Peace is the supreme ruler. As the purple haze deepens And turns to black, The eerie cry of an owl Is wafted over the still water, And then the mournful cries of birds loin in the serenade of Night. And crickets chirp As Night awakens To take sleeping Day's place As guardian over the lake. TWILIGHT CAME- By Naomi Steffenhagen Twilight came like the homing of birds From afar, on silent wings, Twilight came like a vision of peace From some distant, tranquil shore, Twilight came like a song being born, A nocturne of night and shades, A breath of infinity, Twilight came, like a ship at sea Sailing at eve into the crimson sunset, Twilight came like a fog at dawn A dense, thick curtain of gray That shrouded the World and shut Out the light-falling endlessly. Twilight came like a gray-cowled monk Strolling among the shadows, Twilight came like a black-gowned woman With mourning in her eyes, for something That would never come again, Twilight came like a shadowy menace, Gliding amid the ghostly gloom V Of marble, white monuments, Twilight came like relentless fate, And after it came-the Night. TWILIGHT By Louise Greenwell The twilight steals across the earth, Her royal robes of purple sweep Across the sun's all-glaring face. Her veil is eerie, misty haze, Her eyes, the shining evening star, The moon, a halo round her head, The dew, a tear-drop, on her cheek. The tiny fireflies light her way, The crickets sing a melody. Her cool, sweet breath like perfume blows Across the hot and tired earth. Her fingers, streaks of moonlight, dip Into the water's mystic depth. But night has found his lady fair And wrapped her in a cloak of black, He carries her across the sky Into the arms of holy sleep. FIRST STAR OF TWILIGHT By Dorothy Parker Enfolding first the mountains, Sending through their deep, deep valleys Mystic, ghostly, creeping shadows, Stealing o'er the flat, wide plains With its impregnable cloak of gray- Twilight comes, Enmeshing all in sight In its thick net. The thick net rips, As the crescent moon's tip Is caught in one loose seam, And through the tear The first dim star of eve appears, This followed soon by other stars, Of which some tear their own small holes And pin them up, and then, ashamed Of their misdeed, stand over them, That others may not see. TWILIGHT THOUGHTS By Mary Birch Like the gray cowl of an old monk, Folding his hands for evening prayer, The dusky twilight envelops A Weary, Waiting world With a cloak of whispering shadow, That gently covers all things, As quietly and softly As the old man places his dark hood Over his tired, holy head.

There was a young Helen MacPhail, Who liked to send letters by mail, With each clerk she fought, When some paper she bought- The Scotch lady wanted it wholesale. The G. A. A. boasted of Lang, And always her praises it sang: To the field she would go With a baseball in tow, And start off each game with a bang. There's a candid kodaker named Stromquist Whose camera aim is not oft missedg With double exposures He makes rare disclosures, And gives people's features a quaint twist. A sweet maiden called Anna Mae Read Gone with the Wind every day. She'd laugh and she'd sigh, She'd ne'er raise an eye, Till that book she had read, all the way. There's a pianist named Helen Hayes On every occasion she plays. For groups and for solos, For dances and style shows, Her hearers with music she sways. There was a young blondie named Fran, Who wanted a Buta-ful tan, She sat in the sun And baked till well done, Then cooled herself off with a fan.

While immediate business returns from such advertising may not be forth- coming, it is Worth While to have one's advertisement appear in a volume which is part of the permanent record of a great and growing institution like Proviso High School. Advertising in the Provi means that the advertisers have faith in the young persons who prepare the book, and are willing to Help promote projects dear to their hearts, such as this annual. The whole Class of 1937 says Thank you.
