SIFERT Tl-IE PRODUCER SPEAKS: RIENDS EVERYWHERE. 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.
