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

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.

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.
