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

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.

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.
