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 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

Here the destiny of Proviso is plotted, and from here news related to the whole cast is sent throughout the building.

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
