OT'IS General WILHELMINA MARM Art WILSON A. LAW Business FQREWQRD Faith in Education, in Service, in Vigor must be a part of every great and successful high school. Choosing Proviso as a representative group, this book, with YOUTH as its theme, will attempt to prove that these wholesome beliefs are present in the daily life of the school. Love of Ideals, oi Harmony. of Beauty 'should be an essential characteristic of the student. In Proviso, definite and progressive methods are being used to cultivate love of all that is deserving. Hope in Future Achievement is a stimulating ele- ment in a world filled with pessimism. lt is indis- pensable to spur the student on toward a future existence of happiness and of service to his fellow men. Students. Faculty. and Buildings change from year to year, but these goals are stationary for Proviso. The Provi Staff of 1938 presents THE PAGEANT OF YOUTH. DEDIOATION O R. W. MARSHALL, dignified member of the history department: Well-known, Well-liked, and Well-read instructor: the publicity mcmotger who has put Proviso in the news: the epitome of good citizenship: the idol of the youth who surround him: the Provi Staff of 1938 pcrys sincere tribute, cmd respectfully dedicates THE PAGEANT OF YOUTH. RALPH W. MARSHALL INSTRUCTOR IN HISTORY MANAGER OI-' PUBLICITY EARL R. SIEERT SUPERINTENDENT OF To The Class of H938 THE PAGEANT OF YOUTH is perpetual. Yet for each individual, it has its beginning and it has its end. Its beginning is found in the temporal joys, in the passing laughter of child- hood. As it continues through the light-heartedness, the freedom from care, and the fleeting heartaches of youth, it assumes a final Worthy objective-ultimate and more lasting happiness. Ultimate happiness is the goal for which every normal human strives. lt is a just goalg its attainment is the motivating power back of humanity. lt is individualistic, self-determinant. No one individual could prescribe for the ultimate happiness of any other person. Ultimate happiness may be had -ffor a price. The attainment of life's objectives calls for constant strife. We have a right to expect victories, but we must expect some reversals. We must expect even defeatsp and those defeats should be accepted in a philosophical manner: they should spur us on to even greater efforts and to more satisfying achievements. ln satisfying achieve' ments lies ultimate happiness. lt is such a happiness that I Wish for each of the members of the Class of 1938. That ulti- mate happiness can be yours if your thinking be right, if your attitude toward life be right, if your conception of the Worth-While things be right. Truly the PAGEANT OF YOUTH has an ambitious goal, a just goaleultimate happiness through achievement. 5W 9 PROVISO TOWNSHIP' HIGH SCHOOL B.

PARICHY Forest Park Elected in 1935 and 1938 President, 1935-36, 1938-39 Secretary, 1937-38 THE BOARD OF EDUCATION Financial snarls for Proviso are deftly straightened out by the Board of Education. The leaders of this group for the year 1937-38 were Iohn M. Newcomer, president, and Emery A. Parichy, secretary. This year, following the April election, Board members met and chose Mr. Parichy as president and B. Les- lie Allen as secretary of their busy organization. Other members are Harry W. Ewert, lrvin C. Hendrickson, and l. M. Newcomer. ln addition to the settlement of the numerous con- tracts and other school business, the Board has been active in construction work this year. A new field- house has come to be a fundamental part of Pro- viso's athletic program under the capable supervi- sion of the group. The board has acted as overseer in the work, which is not yet completedg the tennis courts and the Washrooms under the stadium will be finished in the near future. The track has been beau- tified by the construction of a white curbing. A tun- nel from the main building to the fieldhouse is under consideration. No one can tell more about the aims and objec- tives of the Board than one of its members. We pre- sent Mr. Newcomer as spokesman for the Board of Education: As We Witness this inspiring PAGEANT of ac- complishment of the YOUTH of our high school, a quotation familiar to most of us comes to mind: 'Tell me what are the prevailing sentiments that occupy the minds of the young men, and 1 will tell you what is to be the character of the next generation.' We cannot help have confidence that we are building here, in Proviso, a generation that will meet squarely and successfully the problems that they will have to face as mature men and women. Certainly the diversity and superiority of their accomplishments which have manifested them- selves in this, their year book, indicate that their minds are being occupied by thoughts that can only produce a generation of men and women of ability, courage, and character. To give to these boys and girls every oppor- tunity for a full, Well-rounded education has ever been the fervent ambition and desire of the Board of Education. The year 1938 has seen many of our long-cher- ished hopes for Proviso realized. Chief among these has been the completion of our glorious fieldhouse. The achievements of the past year will stimulate us to continue to plan and to work for still greater progress for our high school, for We know that our will to believe and our courage to do will make pos- sible the dream of all of us for an even greater Pro- viso for our boys and girls.

Theirs it is to conceive ideas, to maintain a proper perspec- tive, to consider aims, and to devise ways and means of attaining those aims. Fundamental to the successful presentation of the great PAGEANT OF YOUTH in Proviso is the Work done by the ad- ministrative group. Head of the group is Superintendent Earl H. Sifert, no longer a novice in his present position, but now fully established. To him falls the task of combin- ing the practical and the ideal in fitting proportions to minister to the needs of all concerned. Recog- nized beyond the confines of Illinois as Well as With- in them, as increasingly a leader in matters educational, he keeps Proviso in the front ranks of those schools which seek to adapt their services to the community they serve. Right-hand man to Mr. Sifert is C. C. Taggart, as- sistant superintendent, who reigns supreme in the main office. The countless details appertaining to programs and office routine are within his iurisdic' tion. He contacts the grade schools in the district, and prepares the Way for the hundreds who enter the high school each fall. The advisory system is now a well-established factor in Proviso's administrative set-up. H. E. Carr, chairman of the advisory group, is special counselor of freshman boys, Otto Dillner, new to the school this year, of sophomore boys, and E. W. Stubbs, formerly of the history department, of junior and senior boys. Miss Elizabeth B. Oakes is in charge of senior and junior girls, and sponsor of the Girls' League: Miss Virginia Hayward has succeeded Miss Pauline Croessmann, who Went to Denfeld High in Minneapolis at the beginning of second semester, and who had been sophomore counselor: Miss Beatrice Yates is in charge of freshman girls. ll ELIZABETH B.

M., Northwestern University ENGLISH By way of preparation for effective participation in the great PAGEANT OF YOUTH staged in Proviso, every member of the cast, comprising the entire school, undergoes four years of training in the use of the English language. In order that this training might be properly co-ordinated and synchronized, the management of the department, which for some time had been under a committee of four, has this year been unified under the direction of Miss Eileen White, with Miss Grace Trigg acting as assistant. Specifically the work in English aims to foster appreciation and enjoyment of literature, and pro- ficiency in self-expression, whether in speech or in writing. To further these ends, a curriculum corn mittee of six under the chairmanship of Miss Anna M. Harman has worked throughout the year on plans for a course of study which may more defi- nitely serve the needs and interests of those in- volved. To secure suggestions of value, question- naires were sent to alumni and to seniors asking for first-hand information as to what courses they regarded most valuable. Departmiental meetings have been concerned with a study of modern edu- cational trends under the guidance of a commit- tee headed by Miss Cecil Stark. Visual education has been employed whenever pictures contributing to a study of literature or journalism were available. Movies and radio pro- grams have been discussed. Courses in the study of newspapers and of magazines have helped cor- relate classroom work with current interests. The curriculum has been enlarged by classes in argumentation, functional Englisheedesigned for Miss Hogan, Miss Harman, Miss Scott, Miss White, Miss Otis, Miss Trigg, Miss Reininga Paul Street, Miss Norman, Miss Emge, Miss Baldridge, Miss Reid, Miss Stark, Miss Eancher, Manley Immel ENGLISH EILEEN WHITE, Chairman A.

The appointment of Manley W. lrnmel as head of work in speech has laid new emphasis on that medium of communication: an outline for speech work throughout the four years of school has been presented for use in all classes. The purf chase of a recording machine which has made it possible for students to hear themselves as others hear them has been of great value in this work. Two new teachers joined the department at the beginning of the year: Miss Ellendore Lanipton, a specialist in the teaching of remedial reading, and Edward ludd. ln the fall, A. T. Bolt resigned to take a position in l-larnrnond, indiana, and Miss Ruth Beck came to fill the vacancy. At the begin- ning of the second semester, Miss Virginia Hayward was transferred from the department to the position of counselor for sophomore girls, and Miss Lois Moore took her place. Miss Eleanor Lonek and Miss Trigg received A.M. degrees last summer. Miss Grace Reininga toured sundry European countries. Miss White, Miss Violet Hogan, and Miss Florence Scott spent some weeks in Mexico, and Miss Hayward, in Canada. Miss Florence I. Otis, instructor in news writing, taught in the summer session of the Medill School of journalism. LIBRARY The school library works in close co-operation with the English department and the other depart- ments of the school. Books are placed on reserve for classes needing them, classroom libraries are furnishedg and classes are brought into the library nearly every period of every day to study books cr magazines. Serapes hung from the balconies gave the library a festive appearance at the beginning of the year. Szudents and teachers who had visited Mexico dur- Miss Holliday, Miss Myers ing the summer donated the decorations for an ex- hibition. Mexico and Mexican travel books were featured. Throughout the year, as various depart- ments held exhibitions in the library, books dealing with the same subjects were displayed. Miss Louise Myers and Miss Laura Holliday joined the faculty as librarians last fall, with Mrs. Gertrude Dewar to assist them in clerical work.

Kuster, Miss Schlueter, Miss Williams LATIN To study Latin is to learn a discriminating use of English. Besides being the basis of French, Span- ish, and ltalian, Latin contributes more than sixty per cent of the words of the English language. The first year of study is devoted to grammar and structure, to acquiring a vocabulary of Latin words and their English derivatives, and to simple Latin reading. In the second year, the student reads Greek legends, early Roman history, and Caesar's account of the Gallic wars. Beginning Latin stu- dents have their own club, Res Romana. Studying the orations of Cicero and the poetry of Vergil in his next two years, the student learns Miss Phelan, Miss Evans, Humbert Gentilin, Miss Masters, Miss Barra something of political conditions during the last century of the republic, Latin poetry and poetical uses of words, and Greek mythology as incorpor- ated in Roman literature. The Cptimates, members of the advanced Latin class, give a play based on their study every year. MODERN LANGUAGES ln the modern language department, the PAG- EANT takes on a foreign appearance, the very rooms have a different atmosphere, due in part to the Span- ish, ltalian, French, and German travel posters on the walls, and in part to the foreign phrases which greet the ear. Here is emphasized the need of un- derstanding other peoples in order to understand ourselves. The study of the language of a country includes the study of its customs, history, literature, music, and art. ln this way a language course has some relation to nearly every subject offered at Proviso. The students of each language have iormed clubs to round out their knowledge of the country whose language they are studying. Besides the French club, there is an honor club, En Avant, for beginning French students. The meetings are in charge of upperclassmen and devoted entirely to the further use of French. Miss Margaret Barra spent last summer visiting and studying the principal cities in ltaly. Miss Frances Gospill travelled in Mexico. LATIN DEPARTMENT IULIA F. EVANS, Chairman A.

The purpose of history is to explain the present by giving an understanding of the past. To help in the accomplishment of this purpose, many foreign visitors to this country, especially those from Asiatic nations, are invited to speak to the history students about conditions and events in their homelands. Thus the students receive broader cultural contacts and clearer understanding of present-day situations than they could attain for themselves. Probably the least static courses offered in the modern high school are those in the social science department. To be most valuable their content and emphasis must be constantly revised and new courses added as occasion demands. Proviso high school has been doing just that. Proviso students have an opportunity to study Ear Eastern history, especially interesting because of the War in China, and the history of Central and South America, where world attention was focused during the Pan-American conference of l936. These courses are seldom offered in a high school curric- ulum. Another unusual course open to students of Pro- viso is a survey course, involving sciences which prepare one for the study of history: anthropology, archeology, geography, geology, and sociology are the most important. A valuable feature of history study at Proviso is work on bulletin boards. Every history classroom has a board filled with graphs, newspaper clip- pings, or drawings made by the students. Many classes also keep class scrapbooks on some phase of current events. HISTORY AMY BARNUM, Chairman A. B., University of Michigan CHARLOTTE E. DEGE A.

Law MATHEMATICS The mathematics department of Proviso encour- ages students to discover mathematical truths, to apply theories and find related facts, and to develop intellectual curiosity. General mathematics was introduced this year for students uncertain regarding the value of mathe- matics in their intended work. I-I. L. Rider gave to the course the results of his experience in industrial work. This course does not exhaust the subject or replace the other mathematics coursesp it tends to encourage students with mathematical ability, and to help those without it to understand to some ex- tent the principles of mathematics involved in prac- tical life. Iuniors at Proviso have a choice in their second semester of mathematics between solid geometry and an additional semester of advanced algebra. To aid in teaching solid geometry to students who have difficulty in visualizing three-dimensional space relations, H. G. Monilaw and F. W. Baer worked out devices illustrating the theorems to be studied. If a student can meet entrance requirements with- out his fourth year mathematics course, Proviso's course in trigonometry and college algebra gives him five hours of advanced standing at the Uni- versity of Illinois and at other schools where Pro- viso's mathematics department is known. In col- leges unfamiliar with mathematics preparation at Proviso, it has happened that students have done so well in preliminary examinations that they were given credit for freshman mathematics before the tests were graded or even completed. U. C. Foster received his M.S. degree at North- western university last summer. For the last two years Miss Martha Hildebrandt, chairman of the mathematics department, has been president of the National Council of Teachers of Mathematics. At various times throughout the year she has spoken to groups of teachers at state and local conventions and at universities, including the Universities of Illinois, Iowa, and Columbia. VERNON R.

This year the class in commercial art helped many movements oi the PAGEANT. The members ot this class designed signs tor the billboard at the corner oi First avenue and Washington boulevard publicizing Proviso activitiesp among other projects, they illustrated the club bulletin board and con structed signs and paintings tor many departments, especially in the Proviso on Parade pageant at the dedication of the tieldhouse. The keynote ot the art department, like that ot the music depart ment, is service to the school. Miss Wilhelmina Marm, chairman oi the art def partment, traveled to Mexico last summer. Miss Beatrice Bonine studied at Columbia university. MUSIC ' The music organizations ot Proviso contribute color, rhythm, and beauty to the PAGEANT through- out the year, specializing in service to the student body and to the community. Any student in Proviso may enroll in some music class, depending on his musical ability, his preparation, and his purpose. Music has long been recognized as a strong socialf izing agency. The aims of the music department are to give the students an opportunity to participate in vocal and instrumental music, to hear and develop appreciaf tion ot the best in music, to provide an opportunity for emotional expression and development, to train students technically in the art ot producing music, and to provide entertainment and inspiration through programs and concerts in assemblies and in the community. The realization oi these aims is brought about through the Work ot such organizations as the choir and choral groups, directed by R. Lee Gsburn, chairman oi the music department: the band, di- rected by I. lrving Tallmadgep the orchestra, directed by Wallace Nelson, and the classes in general music. MUSIC R.

Freshmen beginning the study of science with the course in general science, sophomores studying botany or Zoology, and juniors and seniors studying chemistry, physics, or geology, learn the use of these instruments and stress the practical side of the work as well as the formulas and laws of theory. The teachers must keep the PAGEANT moving ac- cording to schedule in this department by showing the would-be Newtons and Pasteurs how to look through a microscope without closing the other eye, by taking the students on field trips, and, in general, teaching them something of the world and the things in it. Field trips are conducted into the near-by forest preserves, through great industrial plants, and to .scientific exhibitions. Last summer C. W. Bills worked on mosquito abatement and was highly praised for his intensive research into the lives and habits of mosquitoes. Harvey F. Iohnson and O. A. Bolt made tours of the West, visiting many cities and national parks. H. P. McConnell received his M. S. degree from the Uni- versity of Illinois, and L. W. Remley studied at the University of Iowa, where he plans to take his doctor of philosophy degree next summer. V. G. Catlin, head of the department, studied at Northwestern during the vacation. Mr. Catlin is sometimes hard pressed to keep up with the demand for his Dermo- line, a liquid to cure skin diseases caused by fungus growths which he gives to all sufferers from such diseases. In the space occupied at present by the east gym, classrooms are to be built. One of these rooms will be a biology room and storeroom for the science department. The room is to have eight In W, 1-HND5 B. S., Kansas State Teachers' College tables and will accommodate thirty-two pupils. A- B., Egflhgm College A. M., Columbia University Alden Greene, V. C.

Further growth in this department will be in the addition of other types of work rather than in the building up of the present shops. Electrical and metal-working shops are already being talked of. A blue-print machine obtained at the end of last year has been of great value to the school. Some of the drawing classes made maps of the shrubbery and landscaping of the grounds, and supplied blue- prints to the maintenance department. Blue-prints of the fieldhouse were prepared on the machine, and other work for the main office. To cut down automobile accidents and deaths due to them, the nation must increase the number of carefully trained drivers to take the place of drivers who learn by the trial-and-error method. Proviso offers a course in driver training, to develop good driving habits in the pupil. This course is carried on in a dual control car, with extra clutch and brake pedals located so that the instructor is always able to stop the car. After learning the general make-up of a car, the rules-of- road courtesy, and the proper signals, the class divides into groups of four for actual driving experi- ence. Twice a week each student drives for fifteen minutes and observes the other beginners for the remainder of an hour. At the end of the semester he has had eight hours of actual practice and twenty-four hours of observation, and is well on the way to becoming a good driver. lohn Compagno joined the faculty of Proviso this year to teach driver training.

Various courses give general or specialized training in business education to those who desire business or clerical positions, or employ- ment in the fields of selling and bookkeeping. New calculating machines were added to the equipment of the commercial department this year so that it became possible to offer specialized train- ing in machine bookkeeping and calculation. Sales- manship, retail selling, and advertising are offered to those students who are interested in the selling field. A. L. Fry received his M.S. degree from the Uni- versity of Illinois last summer, and l. E. Krueger went to the University of Iowa to earn his M.A. STENOGRAPHY The majority oi Proviso's graduates go directly from the PAGEANT OF YOUTH to the world of busi- ness. The stenographic department offers shorthand, typing, and office practice to fit these students to meet the increasing demands of modern industry. This year the course in office practice was put on a project basis and offered for a full year instead of only one semester. The purchase of new office equipment led to training not previously attempted. Six transcribers, four dictaphones and two edi- phones give training in transcription, which is often prepared on the new dictating machine. Other new equipment obtained by the steno- graphic department this year includes: a ditto ma- chine, which increases the possibilities of duplicat- ing materialp a mimeoscope, and a filing cabinet, which teaches the use of all filing systems.

Wessels HOME ECONOMICS A subject of growing interest in the home eco- nomics classes is the study of consumer goods, which deals with problems of intelligent buying and consumption. In the sewing courses the students learn to judge ready-to-wear garments, as well as fabrics of various quality. Cosmetics, hosiery, shoes, and leather goods are also judged for their value. In the foods classes, the study is carried into the grades of meats, canned goods, milk, and eggs. Learning to tell the freshness of fruit and vegetables is another important part of the course. The foods classes gave several luncheons for principals of suburban schools, and one for the school board during the year. Students of home management study labor-saving devices, electrical appliances, and household fur' nishings. The number of boys enrolled in the home subjects is rapidly increasing, and it is possible that there may be a special boys' cooking class next year. CLERICAL STAFF S Behind the scenes of the PAGEANT are the cleri- cal staffs of the main office and the business office. These staffs keep things running smoothly in the PAGEANT OF YOUTH by performing many imporf tant duties. The main office is the place where the daily and special bulletins are typed, the telephone switch- board is operated, materials are secured, and records of grades and credits are kept. In the business office, supplies and equipment are ordered, payrolls are prepared, and textbooks are rented or sold to the students. This office also keeps record: of the school board meetings. Miss Evelyn Kroeger joined the staff of the main office during the year, taking the place of Miss Eayora lunget as a typist. Miss Violet Kmet was added to the business office staff, and Miss Char lotte Kuehl replaced Miss Pauline Wagner in the boys' counselor office. Miss Mary Ellen Sherbert has done part-time Work.

The well-lighted, heated, and ventilated accommodations have greatly expanded the athletic scenes of the PAGEANT OF YOUTH. The students are divided into smaller classes than were previously possible. Each boy has an oppor- tunity to swim during part of the year and to learn fundamentals of track, and a better chance for basketball, wrestling, and volleyball instruction. At the beginning ot the year each boy is given a physical examination, including silhouetteograph and pedograph tests, to determine his fitness to take gymnasium work. It he is in poor condition, he may be put in one ot the six classes in restrictive gym- nastics meeting on Tuesdays and Thursdays. The space left by the boys has been completely renovated tor the girls' physical education depart- ment. New heating, lighting, and shower systems have been installed, and a new tloor laid tor the basketball court. This additional space has made possible an improved intramural program in volley- ball, basketball, and badminton. The full time use ot the pool gives each girl at least one year of swim- ming during her four years at Proviso. Coeducational recreation is a new phase ot phys- ical education at Proviso. Swimming, social danc- ing, and badminton lend themselves especially well to this type ot activity. Atter-school swimming in the girls' pool was allowed at the end ot this year, and dancing sponsored at the same time. Training in social dancing during the regular gymnasium period began tor sophomores this year. Boys' and girls' classes are being registered tor the same periods, and, from now on, all sophomores will receive dancing instruction. COME AND GET IT CAFETERIA Between 11:15 a.m. and 1:15 p.m., the thoughts of the many actors in the PAGEANT OF YOUTH turn to food. Meals are prepared in the cafeteria every school day by eight women employees, and served to more than three thousand students and faculty members by a personnel of twenty-four employees. Keeping abreast of the times, the cafeteria has installed a Welsbach Hot Zone food preparation unit, which prepares food in a modern and scien- tifically correct manner. This unit makes possible the preparation of eighty hamburgers at a time, more than twice the number possible under the old conditions. Another machine new in the cafeteria this year is the frozen malted milk machine, which permits the selling of a healthful food drink for five cents a glass. H. T. Smith, manager of the cafeteria, says of this drink, You will find our malted milk to be a balanced ration, packed full of energy and rich in vitamins. IANITORIAL-ENGINEERING STAFF The duty of the janitorial-engineering staff is to keep the scenes of the PAGEANT OF YOUTH attrac- tive, the stage properties in good working condition, and the school buildings heated to a comfortable temperature. Three groups of men compose this staff: the maintenance men, the janitors, and the boiler-room engineers. The maintenance men replace burned-out light bulbs, repair broken furniture, and take care of the many jobs necessary to keep up the general condi- tion of the school. The janitors keep the buildings clean by emptying waste paper containers, wash- ing windows, and sweeping the floors. In the boiler room, licensed engineers control the supply of heat to the whole school. During the year A. I. Offermann, superintendent of buildings and grounds, directed the work on the tennis courts, the walling in of the stadium under- structure, and the rehabilitation of the girls' gym- nasium. In the last project a new floor was put in, and the running track on the second floor removed.

This is the PAGEANT OE YOUTH. The first movement portrays Youth working and learning to become worthy citizens, Youth develop- ing confidence in ability and aspiration to succeed, Youth studying and preparing for a triumphant march down life's long highway. The actors gather. The scene is set. The PAGEANT begins. The stately buildings that are Proviso stand in the foreground framed in friendly trees. The peace of early-morning silence is short-lived on this seventh day of September, l937, for soon from all directions come the curious. Never stopping, never turning back, 3,670 in all, they press forward. But Proviso is prepared for the onslaught. Doors swing wide, and endless throngs crowd through. Finally, the last expectant freshman has crossed the threshold, and the turbulent mob surges within. Noise and con- fusion come to a pause, and once again order pre- vails. Welcome is extended to all students in open- ing-day assemblies. Preliminary plans for the PAGEANT OF YOUTH were laid at a faculty meeting on September 6. For a moment all stood in reverence and respect for Miss lessie V. Seaver, a member of Proviso's faculty for seventeen years, who died last summer in her Wis- consin home. New teachers were then presented. Superintendent E. R. Sifert talked on the school as training for world citizenship. With the start of classes, determined freshmen search for elusive classrooms. They have little faith at this moment in themselves or in the rest of the world. Then to their aid comes the Senior Guard, ready to pilot them through the labyrinth of halls and rooms. A novel bit of action comes into play in ensuing episodes in the forrn of a visual education program. WONDER WHERE l BELONGH SEETHING HUMANITY RETURNING TO THE FOLD With I. W. Moelk of the science department in charge, movies will be presented in correlation with classroom work. Although the motive of this project is the enlargement of learning opportunities and mediums, it will also serve to break the monotony of classroom work. Students requiring financial aid to complete high school register for N.Y.A. jobs with Clarence W. Failor, new vocational adviser. By working around school, they may earn money for sundry neces- sities. Mr. Failor has sole charge of the new vocational guidance department set up in Proviso this year. His task is to help students choose their careers. ln addition to personally advising prospective job- seekers, he has charge of the employment bureau maintained by Proviso for her students and alumni, collects reading material on vocations for the use of students, gives vocational aptitude tests, and dis- seminates information on careers through special bulletins and the Pageant. The passing action of the outside world arrests the students as they pause to commemorate the one hundred fiftieth anniversary of the adoption of the Constitution. ln an assembly, the American Legion presents a speaker who discusses the history and im- portance of that famous document. Pleasing to all absent-minded students is the news that a lost-and-found bulletin board is being estab- lished outside the main office. Notices of errant possessions may be posted with the approval of C. C. Taggart, assistant superintendent. AS THE GODS SEE US LAST NAME FIRST-- IN DEVOTIONAL MOOD FRESHMEN PLUS PASSPORTS SO YOU'RE GOING TO PROVISOT' w 36 October comes into view. The junior class elects officers: Robert Dame, Mary Alice Arnold, Florence Croll, and Warren Wainskaitis. At the first meeting of the Iunior Council on October 5, standing com- mittees are organized. At an assembly sponsored by the Pep clubs before the New Trier game on October l, an enthu- siastic crowd learns from the comical actions of Cran'ma Frances Clarkin, '39, and Cfran'pa Robert laffie, '40, the advantages of having a season foot- ball ticket. Spirited cheers follow this spicy bit of humor, and the rafters rattle riotously. The freshman class steps to the foreground. A nominating committee composed of one delegate from each homeroom selects candidates for class offices. On Tuesday, October 19, each candidate speaks for himself, and the voters make their deci- sions. Suspense comes to an end on October 25 with the announcement of freshman class officers: Leon- ard Marcus, Beatrice Marcus, Robert Olson, and Robert Saunders. Committees to manage all class activities are formed. Starting out with a great deal of enthusiasm, the freshmen promise to enliven com- ing episodes. Excavation by the Public Works Administration for a water main causes those in the north end of the building to long for the peace and quiet of pio- neer days. Even though ears ring and heads ache, Proviso is willing to endure this pandemonium in order that her future All-Americans may have an adequate supply of water in the new fieldhouse. Laurel wreaths are placed upon the heads of worthy laborers. Freshmen sit in awed silence, while sophomores, juniors, and seniors receive med- als as rewards for scholastic endeavor. Richard Merrifield, '38, introduces Robert Skallerup and Lois Reisz, both seniors, who tell respectful underclass- men the advantages of climbing the golden ladder to achievement. Dorothy Knight, '40, Ieannette An- dermann, '39, and Gertrude Vetter, '38, read the names of the haDDY medal-winners. Teachers cast away textbooks, horn-rims, and schoolroom manners to frolic at the Elmhurst Coun- try club where the annual faculty party is held on October 7. Students are as delighted over this party as teachers, for school adjourns early. During the TUNIORS HOLD HIGH COUNCJIL THE DITCH THE DIGGERS MARTY ON THE FAIRWAY FRESHMAN OFFlCERS afternoon, golf, contract and auction bridge, and five hundred form the entertainment. Dinner is served at 6:30, after which prizes are awarded. The toast program concerns Proviso in Perspectivef' with E. R. Sifert acting as toastmaster. Speeches on Proviso past, present, and future are made by Miss Martha Hildebrandt, Miss Ellendore Lampton, and Harry W. Ewert, reading for Iohn M. Newcomer, president of the Board of Education. Fire prevention is the topic under discussion in A period on October 8. Students consider seriously the possible fire hazards in their homes and how they can be remedied. On the following day, a fire drill is held and the school empties itself for a brief mo- ment. An occasional blocked stairway adds plot complication. Later discussions concern other acci- dents in the home and comparatively simple pre- ventives. Momentarily Proviso ceases to function on Colum- bus day. Theoretically, the pause is to commemorate the great navigator's travels: but practically it gives weary students an opportunity to catch up on sleep. Under the rhythmic baton of I. Irving Tallmadge, the band offers its inspiring music at the first meet- ing of the Proviso Band Parents on October 14. The officers of this organization are Herbert Krueger, H. G. Brownfield, Mrs. Ella M. Moffett, and Walter Ingalls. Dates for band concerts are announced. Using the illumination which they have sported at football games, the band presents a brilliant, spectacular display. Two hundred and fifty bulbs light the instruments of the brass section, the bell lyra, and the bass drum. At a meeting of the Northeastern Illinois District Band association, the Proviso band plays clinic music, aided by representatives from other schools. Band directors from these schools choose contest numbers. The sophomores get their share of attention when their cabinet meets on October 15. This year's officers are Robert Davis, Edwin Franz, Phyllis Lar- sen, and Ray Parchmann. Two parties are planned for the whole c1ass. Chairmen are chosen to lead the social, scholarship, and assembly committees. The visual education program comes to the fore- ground frequently. Twenty movies are scheduled for October by I. W. Moelk. ln order to carry out this schedule the Projector Service organization, later dubbed the Cine club, is formed of boys in the physics classes. A plan is devised to exchange movies with other schools. Triumph, indifference, and despondency are ex- pressed on student faces on October 19, when those small, but most significant, report cards are distrib- uted. The freshmen, as becomes the size of their class, have the highest number of honor roll mem- bers. The distribution of honor ro1l pins causes the whole number, 322, to indulge in a wild scramble to the main office. Twenty-one of this number made perfect records. The first P. T. A. meeting treads on the heels of report card day, and conversations between teach- ers and parents are tempered accordingly. Officers are Mrs. W. S. Tamm, Mrs. Prank Haick, Mrs. Frank Skallerup, and Miss Helen Masters. At the meeting on October 23, the results of the membership drive are made known to the satisfaction of all: 1550 names are on the books, many more than in previ- ous years. William D. Saltiel of the American Legion is the speaker. The sophomore chorus sings. IUST A COUPLE OF FALSE ALARMS Superintendent E. R. Sifert and I. M. Newcomer and E. A. Parichy of the school board attend the Annual Convention of the National Association of Public School Business Officials held in Baltimore, Maryland. Mr. Sifert reports that the laboratory idea of education is sponsored by the association. Accord- ing to this idea, which Mr. Sifert heartily commends, the student participates in many more curricular activities than formerly. The seniors introduce a new note of fun and gay- ety into the action at their Halloween party on October 23. lack-o-lanterns grin cheerfully amid tall cornstalks. The orchestra summons restless feet to the dance. The party has been planned by the class officers, Robert Skallerup, Carolyn Vick, Alice Moffett, and Charles Doherty, and their committees. On October 26, professional faculty meetings begin. These meetings are prepared by faculty committees and deal with pedagogical problems. At the first meeting Miss Elizabeth B. Oakes leads a discussion of the guidance program. C. W. Failor, Otto Dillner, C. C. Taggart, l. B. Davis, and Miss Alice Beemer are also on the program. Conferences of this type appear at regular intervals throughout the scenes of the PAGEANT OF YOUTH. Scheduled programs include a demonstration of the use of movies for visual education by lacob W. Moelk and Alden G. Greene of the science department, a dem- onstration of newly purchased equipment for the science, physical education, and stenographic de- partments, and numerous other themes connected with progressive education in a modern high school. Seniors are meanwhile studying the article in .Harpers magazine on Sons of the Wolf which tells of the organization in Italy for training and educat- ing ltalian boys. They note with interest Musso- lini's words to these boys which read: Youth is beautiful. lt has clear eyes with which it looks out on the panorama of the world. It is beau- tiful because it has a courageous heart that does not fear death. American youth might well pause for a moment to reflect on the question of Whether there is no peace time cause that will spur youth on to such SENIORS CONSORT WITH SPOOKS SOPHOMORE CABINET CONSIDERS' BAND PARENTS' ASSOCIATION F.

What, oh youth, is the answer? November is brightened by musical activity on the part of the orchestra. Eight of its members-Albert Oliver, George Pecor, Herbert Fritzsche, Fred Thier- bach, loseph Pafume, Kenneth Roquemore, Arthur Fielder, and Larry Sarahan, take part in the Illinois All-State orchestra on November 3 and 4, assembled for the purpose of entertaining the Illinois High School Teachers' conference at Urbana. , The all-seeing eye of the camera falls on trembling freshmen as identification pictures are taken under the direction of H. F. lohnson. On viewing these portraits in the distant future, the victims will hope fervently that they have lost all value as far as identification is concerned. ' Commercial art students exhibit their skill in the advertising panels which are seen on the Washing- ton boulevard and First avenue corner advertising athletic games and other school activities of local interest. The originality and accuracy of the signs prove these brush-wielders capable of professional daubing. A brilliant scene now presents itself in the form of Proviso's observance of National Education week, from November 7 to lO, inclusive. Posters are made under the supervision of Miss Wilhelmina Marm, and are placed at intervals throughout the building to announce the event. With an address by Brigadier General Iohn V. Clinnin before ex-service men and Proviso Township teachers on Sunday afternoon, action begins. Local women's clubs and service clubs cooperate in this observance. The Maywood Arts club holds its annual exhibit in the social room. Students con- duct homeroom discussions. On Monday, Educa- tional Good Will is the subject, and it is pointed out that education is necessary to maintain America's democratic government, and that the system of free public schools is one of America's greatest institu- tions. On Tuesday, students consider the question of what America can do to increase good will among the people of the world today. An Armistice day message is read on Wednesday, after which the whole school reveres the World War dead in rr moment of silent tribute. Open House comes as a climax. This year, par- ents pick up lunior's lunch pail and brief case and skip merrily along to take his place for one night. Fifteen hundred attend A period and the first two classes, each twenty minutes in length. Identifica- tion tags are provided for each parent in order to ease the task of the lost-and-found office. A copy of the Proviso Pageant is given to each parent whose offspring subscribes. lt includes a special section entitled Easy Lessons for Easy Parents. IT PAYS TO ADVERTISE Iunior is especially anxious to get mom and dad off to school on time, for, if his homeroom has the highest percentage of attendance in his class, he will get a half-day holiday on the following Tues- day. Those home rooms which get the halt holiday are l34B, 84, 220, 260, and 225. Faculty members responsible tor the success of American Education week in Proviso are Ft. W. Marshall, chairman, Miss Amy Barnum, Miss Wil- helmina Marm, Miss Florence l. Otis, Miss Martha Smith, Miss Ellendore Lampton, Miss Eileen White, C. C. Taggart, H. E. Carr, M. W. lmmel, B. Kuster, F. W. Baer, R. Lee Osburn, l. lrving Tallmadge, and joseph B. Davis. A two-day holiday, November ll and l2, comes as a boon to studes. The annual meeting of the Lake Shore Division of the lllinois Education association, held at I. Sterling Morton high school in Cicero, requiring the attendance of all teachers, accounts tor the extended holiday. At this meeting, Dr. No- Yong-Park speaks on the Outlook ot the Far West, Miss Ella Enslow talks about The Little Schoolhouse in the Foothills, and Rabbi Charles E. Shulman chooses Civilization at the Crossroads as his topic. The enchantment, the mystery, and the splendor of books are introduced into the next scene, for it is National Book week, November 14 to 20. The theme this year is, Reading: the Magic Highway to Adventure. The library is decorated with two booths displaying the bright jackets of new books. Travel posters hang on the walls. ln addition, a picturesque display of Mexican art, contributed by the Misses Frances Gospill, Wilhelmina Marm, Eileen White, Violet Hogan, Florence Scott, and by Paul Hunt, '40, and by Marie Mack, '38, is exhibited. This display consists of exquisite articles from Mex- ico such as jewelry, carvings, woven articles, pottery, and clothing. The attractions of new books are revealed by Miss Elsie Hammerman, assistant librarian in the children's room at the Chicago Public library, to English class delegates assembled in the library on November 15. ICO MAGAZINES AND A GTBL Bonine. Each poster has been made to represent a book. Other contestants guess what books the posters represent. ln the former contest, Betty Ann Cowen takes first place: and Henry Freiday, Lorraine Plazzi, and Celestia Moench receive honorable men- tion for their work. Art Carlson and loyce Good- tellow take first and second places in the latter contest. The Maywood Public library also has an exhibit in observance ot Book week. New books in gay colored bindings adorn the shelves above which the magic highway of reading is drawn with sign- posts pointing the way to romance, adventure, and achievement. Silver horns fill the Old Gym with rhythmg the strange and sundry designs of the modern dance are demonstrated by the hopping, skipping, and gliding crowd. lt is nothing less than the annual junior On November l7, artistically inclined students take part in a poster contest sponsored by Miss Beatrice THE MISSES WHITE, MARM, HOGAN, SCOTT, GOSPILL MEXICAN SOUVENlRS W L s HERE WE COME A f pre-Thanksgiving party held this year on Friday, November 19. Special attractions are Lucille Bauer's orchestra, Carmen Sarlo and his accordion, Iohn Ziesemer and Doris Boughton with songs, and, cli- mactically, the refreshment table decorated in Thanksgiving style. Fifteen minutes seem longer than a class period, and mike fright becomes a reality to students who participate in Proviso's program on the WLS High School Parade at ten o'clock on Saturday, November 20. lohn Cannon, '39, acts as announcer, the choir under R. Lee Osburn sings, the Dial club presents a skit, activities of the various Proviso clubs and ath- letics are told by students, and the Pep club gives two rousing yells. Strains of Forward, Proviso con- clude the scene, and hearts return to normal routines. Those who have speaking parts in addition to the announcer are: Norbert Essig, Armand Clauss, Al- bert ohnson, luanita Polanco, and Della Petterson. Faculty advisors are Clarence W. Failor who aids the Dial club in presenting a skit based on a recent vocational survey and Manley W. lmmel who di- rects the broadcast. Thus Proviso joins with other outstanding schools of the Chicago area in a novel experiment in radio. By Way of preparation for this, speech and music pupils have heard themselves as others hear them when a speech-recording ma- chine played back that which they had perpetrated, to their limited satisfaction. Freshmen are getting tastes of social life as Well as cookies and cocoa at small counselling parties man- aged by themselves and held throughout one week. After this practice in etiquette, they Will be Well pre- pared to assume the dignity of hosts and hostesses when the time comes. These parties are a feature of the discussions held once a week under the leadership of Miss Beatrice Yates, counsellor for freshman girls, and H. E. Carr, counsellor for boys.

Stubbs, during the latter half of English classes once a month. The advisers attempt to help students with the problems of school life, and to prepare them for those they will have to meet later. Freshmen emphasize mental development. Under the direction of Miss Cleora Eancher, they compile figures showing improvement in their scholarship since the first report period. To encourage this im- provement letters are sent home to the parents of those students who bring their grades up two points or more over one six-week period. In this way it is hoped that students who may not have the natural ability to qualify for honor roll may still be encour- aged to better their own previous records. The atmosphere of colonial times distinguishes a tea given by Miss Mary E. Emge's first period Eng- lish class on Monday, November 22. Guests are Superintendent E. R. Sifert, Miss Violet Hogan, Miss Mozelle Roney, Miss Pauline Croessrnann, Otto Dill- ner, and the third and fifth period classes. Woe be unto the sophomore who is color-blind, for each member of the class is given a colored ticket which designates which one of the six small parties, sponsored by the class, he may attend. The first of these parties is held in the social room on November 19, and those favored with orange tickets attend. The other parties are to come later. Another sophomore activity is the evaluating and comparing of citizenship in homerooms. This is done on a basis of points awarded each person for schol- arship and attendance. Citizenship chairmen are elected in each home room to keep the students' records. This plan is mapped out by the citizenship committee of the Sophomore Cabinet. Faculty spon- sors are Miss Helen Masters, Miss Amy Barnum, and I. W. Hinds. The resignation of A. T. Bolt, eight years a mem- ber of Proviso's faculty, to accept a position as journalism instructor in Hammond, Indiana, occa- sions the admission of Miss Ruth Beck to the faculty. She comes from Mishawauka, Indiana. ALBERT TANGORA TELLS 'EM HOW COUNCIL OFFICERS WAX PHILANTHROPIC Zimmerman, Gagnier, Groenke As fascinating as any athletic contest are the racing fingers of Albert Tangora, World's Champion typist for seven years. Mr. Tangora demonstrates his remarkable ability before typing students on Monday, November 22, by adding a four-column sum while typing l4O words a minute. SOUP'S ON AT HI-Y PLAY Transformed by crepe paper into artistic contain- ers, bushel baskets overflowing with all the ingredi- ents for a feast characterized the day before Thanks- giving and the spirit of good will in Proviso. One hundred eighty-six baskets go out to l83 families. The whole project is sponsored by the Student Coun- cil. Officers are Ted Groenke, Norval Zimmerman, and Peggy Gagnier. I, W. Soderberg, D. D. Adair, Miss Beatrice Yates, and Miss Elizabeth Schenfeldt are faculty sponsors of this project. A proclamation written by M. M. Wall, bringing to mind the mean- ing of Thanksgiving, is read in the homerooms. Results of the Thanksgiving deliveries are grati- fying. Whole-hearted student co-operation has made the project a dazzling success. Several homerooms receive letters of thanks from those benefitted by the charitable enterprise. Thanksgiving is made happy for unfortunate families and the student heart is gladdened. The conditions in the days of the first Thanksgiving became reality at the Hi-Y assembly. A play, Stolen Fruit, is presented, with the following taking parts: Howard Schmidt, Elaine Berry, Barbara Dan- iels, Lillian Fricke, Donald Roberts, Harry Abbott, Charlotte Ford, and Charles Moore. Students have ample opportunity to work off the excess energy created by holiday spirit at two dances on Wednesday, November 24. The first is a matinee dance featuring Oscar Perry's orchestra, and the second is an evening ,dance held in the social room. A double holiday follows, and attention turns to culinary creations and home firesides. joseph Bentonelli, Mark Love, Miss Louisa Hoe, and Miss May Barron bring the glory of opera to Proviso on November 28 in a concert presented for the benefit of the needy student fund. On this high note the first episode of the PAGEANT OF YOUTH for IQ37 closes.

Youth, with its earnest and eager joy in living, is better fitted than any other age to thrust itself whole-heartedly into acts of service and accomplishment. The numerous organizations of Proviso have as their common goal, service to school and to com- munity. Whether they serve socially, artistically, intellectually, or materially, whether their service is broad or limited, whether they gain much in the way of recognition or remain unknown, each and every one of them struggles to attain a degree of excellence that will mark it as an organization worthy of an honored place in the procession of youth. The first to take its place in the PAGEANT is the Girls' League. The largest organization in school, it places its trust and ruling power in the Senior Guard, which it sends forth during the first week of school to take charge of dependent freshmen. They entertain little sisters with an uproariously received meller- drammerf' and give many teas throughout the year for the enjoyment and etiquette-polishing of every girl in school. Assisting Miss Elizabeth B. Oakes, who heads the organization, is the board of directors which sponsors every activity of the League. The board this year includes leanne Betts, president, leannette Wynne, first vice-president, leanette An- dermann, second vice-president, Betty Rodger, sec- retary, Alice Anderson, treasurer, and the committee heads: Shirley Schultz, art, Dorothy Davis, program, Betty McCarrell, finance, Dorothy Perring, publicity, Harriet Eine, service, Shirley Broberg, friendship, and Ruth Marcus, social. Greatly enjoying the oral quizzes given to perspir- ing aspirants at their first few meetings, Senior Science club members open or busy year's activities, including a trip to Edward Hines Iunior hospital and the Civic Lighting exhibit. Helping officers Robert Keating, Nancy Clukas, Richard Merrifield, Lisa Thode, and Robert McEvoy to present interesting and varied programs is E. W. Kochenderfer, sponsor. On September 16, the weekly Proviso Pageant is submitted for public approval for the first time. lts introduction is distinguished by a change in the day of publication. After eighteen years of Friday ap- pearances, the paper now shifts to Thursday as its day of publication. Two new columns containing comments on current school topics and sports make their debut amid widespread approval. Editor-in- chief is Dorothy Parker, managing editor, Victor SENIOR GUARD: THE PERSECUTED MAIDENH ATEAING ON THE TERRACE LEAGUE BETTS ON ITS BOARD X Stone. Assistant editors are Raymond Barrer, George Hussey, Barbara Fawcett, and Ruth Marsh. Nineteen other budding journalists work with Miss Florence I. Otis in the Pageant office, while the circulation staff, under Bill Crowley, and the advertising staff, man- aged by Beverley Montgomery, put in plenty of hard labor under the watchful eyes of Wilson A. Law and Arthur Krause. Res Romana, the underclass Latin club, swings into action September 20. Ninety-six are present to elect as officers Della Petterson, Homer King, Marion Peifer, and Lorraine Peterson. Miss lulia Evans guides the march of events in the lives of Res Ro- manans during the year. Weird sounds such as Ia, la, Bitte sehr, and Danke Schoenf' are heard September 20 as the German club elects officers Iohn Ziesemer, Lorraine Desens, Florence Rathke, and Carl Neuman. Miss Gertrude Schleuter and Ruben Kuster, sponsors, lead this socially active club through the year. Seen bouncing over the landscape every Satur- day morning in the autumn months are the girls of the Horseback Riding club, a brand new organiza- tion in Proviso. These brave and sturdy girls endure a great deal of fun-poking at their riding ability, or rather, at their lack of it. Miss Charlotte Dege, in charge of the gallops and canters of these eques- triennes, is assisted by officers Betty Rowe, Betty Schwass, Betty Walters, Marcia Kahn, and Alicedel Baker. The whole project is so attractive that pres- ently a group of boys organizes a similar club under the sponsorship of I. R. Couleur. That profound and intellectual group known as the Chess club gets started on its moving and jumping campaign on September 22 when officers to guide the absorbed members through intricate checkmates and draws are elected. They are Alexander Ned- zel, serving his third term as president, Eileen Iohn- son, Ida Flax, and George Pecor. As in former years, F. W. Baer is the club sponsor.

Chosen to direct the affairs of these future prima donnas and virtuosos are lo- seph Pafume, Barbara Daniels, Pauline Kurz, and Roger lohnson. The Maestros perform under the baton of Wallace Nelson. The advanced Latin club, self-confidently titled the Optimates, gets into the classic procession of Proviso clubs on the same day. This organization, under Miss Iulia Evans's leadership, is unique because it is a working club, that is, many of its activities are suggested and carried out in classroom. But after- school meetings are necessary, and at this first get- together, officers are elected and plans for present- l M ing a program discussed. The chosen officials are Fern Brandt, Mary Margaret Grant, Dean Hutter, and Anna Molezzi. This way, please, say Miss Virginia Hayward, R. A. Bullington, and F. W. Baer, sponsors of the Ush- ers club, as they conduct new members into the mysteries of seat-finding and noise-suppressing. They are aided and abetted by Verneita Abrams, Paul Cates, Winifred Edmiston, and Violet Thorne. This organization furnishes ushers for all school affairs such as plays and athletic events. The eX- perience gained by the members gives them an insight into human nature which is revealed at its worst in the aisles of the auditorium or at a football game. Rhythmic swaying, pirouetting, gliding, and waltz- ing distinguish the fair feminine members of the Dance club under Miss Dorothy lackson's expert guidance. September 27 finds old members, in cos- tume, present in the girls' gym, all set for an enjoy- able year of interpretative dancing. Lorraine Glos is the manager. With high ideals functioning properly, the lunior and Senior Hi-Y groups meet to discuss plans for reorganizing the club this year. Presiding over the meeting is M. M.

Miss Martha Hildebrand is in charge of all doings of this worthy sophomore group, and it gets busy early in the season by electing five of its members, Frances Weisser, Carolyn Wynne, LeRoy Brown, Mary lane Cea, and lean Rose, as officers. Old members of the French club, Les Amis du Francais, show prospective members a really fine time at the first meeting of the year. Miss Ada Boss, sponsor, and the officers, Lorraine Hanley, Ruth Hayes, Lois Carter, and Harriet Fine, take charge of this first get-together. They explain to members that each French class is expected to present one pro- gram during the year, the best one getting a prize. Voila! Another Provi is assured on October 7 when Miss Florence l.

The idea of the ancients, A sound mind in a sound body, is still Vital, still fundamental. The Third Episode of the PAGEANT OF YOUTH is presented, the spectacle of sports begins. With the massive, tantalizing bulk of the new fieldhouse looming in the background, l25 Varsity and lightweight footballers work out twice a day ATHLETICS under the searing, late-summer sun. From September l until the beginning of school, they prepare for the coming clashes with York on September 10. At the same time, cross-country runners report to H. G. Monilaw to organize for their future parts in the parade. September 10 arrives. Proviso peps up for the occasion by staging a big rally out in the stadium. That evening the lights, guided by Coach C. E. Kassel, face York, but go down in defeat, 13-U. The THE MOB MOBILIZES FOR FIRST PEP ASSEMBLY par ,--, . ..,.......-e . ,.. .. .wiht varsity, under the tutelage of Coaches F. l. Hatley and O. H. Matte, avenges the midgets by smashing through the York defense for a 7'U victory. Only disastrous fumbles keep the Pirates from chalking up two more touchdowns. On the whole, Proviso rooters are satisfied and look forward to an eventful season. The fresh-soph team, coached by H. L. Rider and L. F. Slimmer, enters the PAGEANT in the approved manner. Among the one hundred aspirants that re- port during the second week of school are few old stand-bys, most of last year's squad having ad- vanced to the major teams. Golf also swings into the cavalcade as the annual intramural tournament is held September 17. Elmer Batterman is pro- nounced champ after defeating Armin Puschek, loe Svita, and Louis Yario in the finals. King Football appears again under the lights of the stadium. Frantz, Corbett, and Stackpool score touchdowns as the Pirates overwhelm Peoria Man- ual, l9-O. The lay-Vees take their place in the pa- rade on September 18. With C. E. Bryan at the helm, they clash with the Leyden varsity at Leyden. When the dust of the battle clears, it reveals Leyden the victor, 25-7. The same day sees the lights roll up a 19-U triumph against Maine on the enemy's gridiron. The next incident in the spectacle of sports opens with the heralding blasts of ProViso's band at the head of a yowling procession of students bidding the Blue-and-White gridsters an ear-drum-bursting fare- FLEET MERCURTES AFOOT CROSS-COUNTY TEAM: Top Row: Caruso, Mirro, Thom, Di Verde, F.

Playing at their peak, the Pirates chalk up a l2-6 victory over the giants of the northlandf' As a result, school loyalty runs rampant. Hundreds of students and pedagogues in profusion climb out of nice warm beds the following Monday morning to welcome the conquering heroes and, incidentally, the sun, home. Meanwhile the lights slither through the mud hole that once had been Proviso's gridiron to beat loliet, ES-U. To bring further honors to Proviso, the lay-Vees pile up a 27-7 victory against Riverside on the latter's field. Goff and Blaha show great possibilities for the future as they rip the zoo-town line to pieces. A variety of scenes is now moving to the front. First come Proviso's harriersg they eke out a 26-30 victory over Maine in the toughest meet of the year. Then the junior varsity appearsg on October 2, it meets Oak Park on the Proviso gridiron. Poreshad- owing of the tragedy to come later in the PAGEANT is found in the Blue-and-Orange 27-20 victory. That afternoon the fresh-sophs make their first appearance. Much praise is accorded them as they whip New Trier, l2-U. Immediately following, the Pirates open their conference schedule with a 6-U victory over the Green-and-Gray. SO THIS IS DULUTH? BURNHAM, ALL-SUBURBAN IOHNSON, TACKLE Water, water everywhere and not a drop to drink, everywhere the water is, a swimmer's sure to slink.

G. A. Hagen is the history-making mentor. Football remains in the picture as the junior varsity tramples Downers Grove, 45-O. October 8 is chock full of events. First the cross- country team plods over the landscape to a 27-37 victory over York. At the same time the fresh-sophs battle Lane Tech on the city-leaguers' gridiron. Lane falls, 5-U, to give Proviso the honors. That evening, action reaches a climax. Sixty-five hundred spectators swarm into Proviso stadium. Batteries of flood lights turn night into day, Pro- viso's mighty midgets roll over East Aurora, 21-6, then the men of the hour stride out onto the field. Two trim gridiron machines-Fenwick, Catholic league champions of 1936, and Proviso-line up. The whistle blows. The game is on. A soul-satisfying pass, Surges to Stackpool, gives Proviso a 6-0 victory. Sixty-five hundred thrilled spectators crowd out of the stadium, glad to have seen the first of a three- year series of Proviso-Fenwick clashes. A new element appears as the next scene swings into sight. The Varsity club holds its first meeting and elects officers, Orv Grove, lim Iohnson, and Iohn Frantz. The cross-country team also enters the picture. Essig, Scalf, Niko, and Boehm place as the Blue-and-White trounces Austin, 25-30. Vigorous youth in Proviso means more than vigor- ous young manhoodp it means vigorous woman- BOSS, CENTER I 61 I hood as well. Under the direction of Miss Mary Wheeler, head of the girls' physical education de- partment, Proviso's young women are not without their share of opportunity for bodily development. October finds sprightly bits of femininity in the throes of after-school hockey and life saving, while archery occupies their time in November. Climax of the fall intramural program is an archery meet with Oak Park. This year ten Proviso misses travel across the river to arch. When the hail of arrows is over, Oak Park is revealed the winner, although Antoinette Milano, Marion Baynes, and Dorothy Williams place second, third, and fourth respectively for Proviso. Also aiding in the development of a vigorous Pro- viso womanhood with faith in physical fitness, is the G.A.A. Officered by Clara Shillace, herself victor in the woman's fifty-yard dash at the National A.A.U. games held in New York last summer, Betty Pritch- ard, Harriet Stewart, and leanette Feuerstein, it co- operates with the physical education teachers in planning intramural activities. The most important fall project of this organization is the annual Fresh- man Play Day, held every year to acquaint new- comers with the opportunities for bodily development Proviso affords them. Singing, archery, dodge ball, hockey, a plunge in the pool, and food-oodles of it --are on the program of the l937 Play day, held October 2. First steps toward further expansion of this already extensive girls' physical education program are taken at this time. With an eye to the time when the fieldhouse will be completed, the old girls' shower rooms are rehabilitated. Walls are painted, parti- tions removed, and new lockers and showers in- stalled. The boys' shower room, which will soon be turned over to the girls, is also remodeled to provide more elbow room for Proviso's vigorous youth. Committee members in charge of the occasion are: Margaret Kraumer, '39, and Helen Spellman, '40, publicity, Loraine Glos, '38, refreshments: Helen Schmidt, '40, and Betty Sloane, '40, clean-upg Lor- raine Belluomini, '39, propertyg and Betty Lauth, '39, decorations.

With the brass sec- tion, the bass drum, and the bell lyra all lit up, and with light-tipped batons in the hands of the drum- majors, it becomes one of the first high school bands in the country to use illuminated maneuvers. As a grand finale, the varsity bashes Kankakee around a bit to roll up a l9-O victory. The cavalcade continues with the lay-Vees the center of attraction. On October l6, they massacre Morton, 25-O. The next Saturday sees them trounce Evanston, 18-6. That afternoon the fresh-sophs are victimized, 32-O, and the varsity ekes out a 7-O triumph. Proviso's harriers travel to lanesville, Wis- consin, and place eighth in the tri-state cross-country meet. Stark tragedy stalks the gridiron as the varsity falls before a hard-hitting, two-fisted aggregation from Waukegan, 7-6, and the fresh-sophs lose, l2-7, at Waukegan the following Week.

Proviso's tankmen swim away with first honors in a meet with Wells high of Chicago. Not to be outdone, the Blue-and-White harriers close their season by winning the Suburban league cross- country title. Norbert Essig is named honorary cap- tain, and the squad passes in final review. The cauldron of school spirit boils over at a gigan- tic parade of all Proviso Saturday morning, Novem- ber l3. Home Rooms 284 and 278 win prizes of two dollars each for the noisiest and best decorated cars, but are soon forgotten as 10,000 people flood Pro- viso stadium to Watch the annual Oak Park-Proviso classic. Midway through the first quarter an Oak Park punt rolls past Proviso's safety man to the 5-yard line. Kicking against the wind from behind their own goal line, the Pirates are unable to punt out of danger. Oak Park takes the ball on the 25-yard line, advances it to the 16 in three plays: and puts it across on a short pass over the line from Pope to Yarwood, six-foot-two-inch end. The Pirates are un- able to crack the impregnable Oak Park line con- sistently enough to score, and retire from the field vanquished but not disgraced after holding the best team in Oak Park's history to a 6-O victory. Individual honors for the day go to Al Miller, Whose slashing run-backs of Peterson's punts nullify completely Oak Park's advantage in this depart- ment. By virtue of his play in this one game, Miller Wins honorable mention rating on the Daily News All-Suburban team. The fresh-sophs end their sea- son With an l8-O loss. The junior varsity suffers its second defeat of the season at the hands of the Oak Parkers, 8-O. Thus, King Football closes his tableau with a flour- ish, reports to King Sport, and passes from view leaving vivid memories of crisp autumn excitement, stirring victory, dismal defeat-vitality!

Snowflakes, like fleecy feathers, fill the airy icicles fringe rooftops in sparkling crystal. The cold clearness of winter awakens Youth to its possibilities. Love of the better things in life is strong in the young heart. In a moment of silent meditation, Youth prays that high ideals may ever be carried aloft like brilliant banners to float over life's parade until the long march comes to an end. December, month of good will and kindness, cheery firesides and wintry winds, now unfolds. The gayety and light-heartedness of Youth expresses itself in the merry holiday season, Youth's sincerity and reverence, in the deeper significance of Christ- mas.

The choir under the direction of R. Lee Osburn presents a concert in morning assemblies which is doubly im- pressive because of the sumptuous new blue robes recently purchased. Chosen groups carol in the halls, while classes pause to hear the herald angels sing. Students joyfully accept the administration's Christmas present of dismissal an hour early. The extra time is soon consumed at the matinee dance, and every one contemplates with high spirits the vacation days ahead. Merry Christmas and See you next year, echo down the halls. There is Peace on earth, good will to men as far as the haDIDY Studes are concerned. Christmas presents come in lace and white satin, according to two of Proviso's masculine faculty members. l. W. Moelk, of the science department, is married on December l8 to Miss Lois Kennedy, of lanesville, Wis. H. L. Rider, of the mathematics department, is married to Miss Pearl Yonker, of Waterloo, Wis., on December Zl. Both couples spend their honeyrnoons in Florida. lanuary 3 is the Alpha and the Omegap that is, the beginning of school and the end of vacation. Students troop through the wide-open doors, glad to return, though they won't admit it. Halls resume their regular eight-o'cloclcin-the-morning appearf ance. Signs of Santa's recent visits are apparent 74 in apparely loud exclarnations of admiration may be traced to the same source. Truly outstanding band members are Harry Gill, lacque Barth, lack Cotterell, Clyde Hollowell, lulius Nordholm, Mark McDunn, O'Neill Del Giudice, lames Ball, Donald Taggart, Elmer Kern, lames Cle- land, and Bruce Scidmore, who spend the week-end of lanuary 8 and 9 demonstrating new and difficult ensemble numbers before the clinic of the regional section of the National School Band association which meets in Urbana, lllinois. When Christmas presents have become a thing of the past, attention centers on the Proviso band as it presents the second of a series of three con- certs. On Sunday, lanuary l6, Phaeton and the Overture to Prince lgor star on the program, as do also these musicians: Charlotte Sifert at the marimbag Nancy Carr singing Ave Maria, accom' panied by Kenneth Roauemore on the violin and Mary Birch at the pianoy six clarinetists playing the Flight of the Bumblebee, and the brass quartet composed of O'Neill Del Giudice, lames Ball, lulius Nordholm, and Mark McDunn playing L'Amerigue. Semester projects involve both Latin classes and dramatic classes. Each member of the thirdfyear Latin class in Vergil is expected to hand in a project connected with Vergil's Aeneid or to give his re- action to the latter. Outstanding work is done by Don Thistlethwaite, '39, and by Dorothy Addleton, Fern Brandt, and Doris Lundblad, all seniors. U- The dramatists present three plays, Ioint Own- ers in Spain, Will o' the Wisp, and Neighbors, on lanuary l3 and 14 before English class audiences as the culmination of their theatrical training. The midnight oil is used to the very last drop by the suddenly industrious studes for one very good reason. Final exams begin on Ianuary 18 and are held two a day on the nineteenth and twentieth, giving the weary students a chance on the twenty- first to recuperate from this unusual mental ex- ertion. Monday, lanuary 24, is a red-letter day in two respects. lt is the first day of the new semester, and also the day upon which those revealing report cards are distributed to students who are in many different stages of uneasiness. The trusty tape measure is unwound to accom- modate twenty-one seniors who culminate their work at the end of the first semester, and therefore will not be around when the rest of the high-and mighties are fitted for caps and gowns. The twen- ty-one are: Roger Bacon, Herbert Brooks, Rocco Casurella, Frank DeVries, Paul Duff, Ioseph Fair-- banks, Russell Fenton, Alex Henry, Corbin Holler-- bach, Edward Leibhardt, Margaret Morse, Richard Oliver, Vernon Paulsen, Iohn Rago, lames Reim, loe Sansone, Iames Saunders, Lorraine Schaefer, Madeline Walker, Eva Waites, and Lucy Waites. Three new educational dishes grace Proviso's appetizing table in the new semester. These new courses are argumentation, taught by Paul Street, debate coach, and free writing and functional Eng- lish, both taught by Miss Ellendore Lampton of the English department. Other innovations in Proviso are in the faculty personnel. Miss Pauline Croessmann of the coun- selor staff leaves to take a position at Denfeld high school in Duluth, Minnesota, Filling her position is Miss Virginia Hayward, formerly of the English department. New faces appear on the horizon. Miss Virginia Terhune comes from New Berlin, llli- nois, to fill the vacancy left by l. B. Davis of the mathematics department who is now dean of the Itasca junior college in Coleraine, Minnesota. Miss Lois Moore fills Miss Hayward's place in the Eng- lish department. No student present will ever forget that gala day of days Thursday, lanuary 27. On this day Pro- viso Township high school proudly dedicates her new fieldhouse. Thursday morning finds the entire student body excitedly inspecting the new athletic laboratory, breeding-place of future Olympic stars, Each dif- ferent section brings forth new exclamations. There is the trophy room with its effective lighting, the showers that boast hot water as well as coldg the dressing rooms with both elbow room and lockers, MR.

A dual-dedication ceremony is presented, one in the afternoon for students who are for the first time in many years all under the same roof at the same time, and one for the parents who gather at 8 o'clock. Highlights on the program are the numbers rend- ered by the band and choir, the presentation of the colors in which Proviso's flag and the United States flag are carried side by side for citizenship and scholarship, and Dr. Samuel W. Grafflin's speech. At the afternoon ceremony his topic is Along the Way in which he advises the students according to experiences drawn from his own youth. His evening address is based on What the Hire-and Fire Man Expects of Youth. All Proviso goes pageant-minded. An outstand- ing event on the program is Proviso on Parade, which depicts the school's well-rounded educational program. Directed by Miss Wilhelmina Marm, of the art department, the pageant is well-spiced with originality. Eirst, in long white robes and bearing his flaming torch high, comes the Spirit of Scholarship, -which breaks down the barriers of ignorance and supersti- tion and releases man's mind, leaving him free to develop the productive force of his being. So says the narrator, M. W. lmmel. The counselors' work, educational, social, and vocational guidance, is represented respectively by solemn students in caps and gowns, girls wear- ing the gay national colors of foreign countries-of which forty are represented in Proviso-and workers in various vocational fields. Trumpeteers announce the advent of the English division. Gay tapestries, brocades, haughty ladies, and the workmen who present the perennial Pyra- mus and Thisbe from A Midsummer Night's Dream bridge the centuries from Shakespeare's time to the present, the Elizabethan age lives again.

The once great Roman empire and its contribu- tion to modern civilization are brought to mind by the appearance of Latin students in flowing, colorful Roman togas. The waving flags of France, Spain, Italy, and Germany come into sight as the modern language tableau approaches. Merry festival days are re- flected in the varied costumes representing each country. Music is interpreted in silence by the lovely Spirit of Music bearing a golden harp. Following her are the creative geniuses of music, Schubert and Beethoven: then the conductor, the singer in elaborate operatic garb, and the orchestra, with instruments in position. Art expresses itself in the modernity of airplane design, in carven grace of sculpture as exemplified by the discus-thrower, and in the candle-lighted de- votion of Sir Galahad, as conceived by Edwin Abbey. The soft lines of art give way to the sharp angles of mathematics. The surveyor comes first: then a banner pictures Iohn Norton's tree of knowledge: a large graph represents Proviso's growth over a period of ten years: geometrical figures borne by the fact-and-figure-minded follow. Science is next. A glittering globe against a celestial background, suggesting the study of astron- omy, catches the eye. The pioneer and his simple research are shown: then nature study, and finally, the wise, dignified Pasteur. The business world presents itself. Huge ribbon spools, the wheels of business, appear at each end of the procession. Stenography is depicted by a plate bearing shorthand characters: a filing cabinet on a large banner represents office practice. The industrial arts are portrayed by the huge cog wheels of industry beneath which appear Guten- berg and his printing press, a stream-lined automo- bile, a model of a modern home, and rugged lumber- men bearing a huge log, the source of much build- ing material. The commerce department exhibits the excite- ment of the stock exchange through the eager buy- ers and sellers who clamor about a large black- board bearing market reports. A sailing ship pic- tured at the top typifies commerce. Mouths water at the huge trays, one of fruit and one of vegetables, at each end of the home eco- AT LAST! THE FIELDHOUSEI nomics tableau. The early American family is con- trasted with that of the modern day. The grace and dexterity of the modern dance are exhibited by exponents of girls' physical edu- cation work. All the sports enter, and are caught in a rare moment of inactivity. Cheer-leaders and trophy-bearers appear to represent boys' physical education work. Masculine athletes parade in assorted sports attire. The long procession is ended by the Spirit of Service, an integral part of Proviso's activities. It is not keeping up with the loneses but with the band and choir that confronts the orchestra un- til it blossoms out in uniform dress, the boys wear- ing dark suits and black bow ties and the girls, dark skirts and white satin blouses, vying with the familiar blue band uniforms and the recently acquired choir robes. This orchestral progress is made at the first concert of the series of three pre- sented on Friday evening, Ianuary 28, under the direction of W. A. Nelson.

For the third consecutive time the freshmen don the laurel wreath by leading the honor roll list. New honor roll members proud- ly exhibit pins. The debate team, composed of Lois Reisz, Ted Groenke, Robert Skallerup, and Victor Stone, pre- sents a practice debate for the Parent-Teachers' Association which, as usual, comes to meet soon after report card day. The Maywood Concert or- chestra under the direction of A. C. Fletcher fur- nishes a musical program. With cap-and-gown days not so very far off, sen- iors begin to make preparations for college entrance. Applications for scholarships are filled out by the numerous hopefuls. Polish is applied to rusty brain cells so that the results of the scholarship exams may be favorable. Miss Martha Hildebrandt is in charge of this scholarship work, and through her, arrangements are made to have representa- tives from various types of colleges and universities visit Proviso. Such guidance makes the process of choosing a suitable college less difficult for seniors. Senior would-be dramatists exhibit their theatrical skill at senior play try-outs beginning on lanuary 31. Vlfeak knees, faint voices, and wild palpitations of the heart are all part' of the game, but well worth while if the applicant attains a role in that all-im- portant production.

Com- pagno, who is new to Proviso this semester, both boys and girls learn the technique of good driving. In order to take this course students must have had no previous instruction in driving. Next year's freshmen will again be introduced to the strange surroundings of Proviso by the Blue Book, that helpful catalogue of Proviso's activities. The staff, which will work under the sponsorship of Miss Grace Trigg, Miss Mozelle Boney, and Edward Iudd, is composed of the following students: Laura Lu Tolsted, Bruce Scidmore, Elmer Bosenwinkel, Doris Boughton, Lorrayne Plagge, and Donald Hawkins. Latin students get a whiff of Grecian atmosphere at the Optimates' play, Iuno Tears Her Hair, adapted from Vergil's Aeneid by Laura Lu Tol- sted. A cast of twenty-seven together with the necessary committees produces a spectacle worthy of the Coliseum. A royal welcome is extended Miss Vivian Della Chiesa, princess of operatic song, who graciously presents two assemblies for Proviso students on February IU. Accompanying this outstanding Chi- cago soprano are Franco Fontano, Italian consul general in Chicago, Paolo Tallarigo, vice-consul, and Miss Bhea Shelters, accompanist. Though lunch period has ever been a highlight in the student's day, it is even more so when rec- reational activities are offered in the new gym during the last half of each lunch period. Through dancing and the playing of checkers and other games, students have a chance to relax before ref suming mental toil. IUNO TEARS HER HAIR IN PUBLIC SAFETY FIRST A LA STUDEBAKER The fieldhouse once more opens its doors to the public on February I3 in order that those who were unable to catch a glimpse of the interior on the night of the dedication ceremonies may now do so. Coming events cast their shadows before. The Oak Park club and the fieldhouse are candidates in an election to determine where the Prom shall be held.

Superintendent Sifert says in an interview with the Nosey News-Hound that the social expe- rience to be gained from the Prom is its most imf portant attraction. The Nosey News-Hound is none other than Ted Groenke, whose valuable interviews with Mr. Sifert, appearing in the Pageant each week, acquaint students with their principal and his ideas. As a preface to the campaign of vocational and job-finding conferences, Richard Fletcher, of the Illinois State Employment service, speaks on Choosing an Occupation and Getting a lob be- fore the seniors who will soon be facing this problem. The Vocational Guidance conference holds its first meeting on Monday, February 28. Speakers are C.

Other sessions of the confer ence are scheduled to follow in March and April. The latest developments in office equipment are much appreciated by members of the Commercial club and the office practice classes when they View the display at the Palmer House.

EPISODE V: ORGANIZATIONS PLOTTING POTTERY ITH the advent of winter, a period of smooth- flowing harmony replaces the jangle of organ- ization and adjustment symbolic of the autumn months. Students are now used to their school's varied ways of accomplishment. They are immune to such dangers as dissension in their ranks: they are beyond being troubled by upset schedules or non-appearing guest speakers. By this time such a keen interest in the standards of their organizations has been developed, that officers and faculty super- visers can safely put the management of any club meeting into its members' hands. New projects for progressive people continue to appear, however. Clubs are not standing still. They are moving in the right direction, swiftly, efficiently, and in tune with the spirit of crisp, zestful winter. The Harlequins stray from the home stage to attend a showing of the play, You Can't Take It With You. This club enjoys many such outings and frolics in the interest of developing the his- trionic abilities of its members. On December l, Miss Elsa Haeger makes use of her experience as head of the Merchandise Mart's pottery display room in an informative talk before Iunior Home Economics club girls. All the stages and ways of making pottery are explained by Miss Haeger, long associated with the Haeger Pottery Works. The Girls' League, as in former years, organizes the drive for dolls to be sent to the Cook County hospital. More than one hundred impatient dolls sit SENIOR I-IOME EC-ERS TREAT in Miss Oalcess office, waiting for the moment when they will be allowed to gladclen the hearts of the crippled children. This year, there is a pleasing variety, including mama dolls, baby dolls, big dolls, little dolls, and an assortment of pudgy, stuffed animals. Most clubs hold off for the first half of the month, saving their abundant energies for the last week before the Christmas holidays, when thoughts of seriousness and service are put aside in favor of pure fun. Almost every club adopts the wise prac tice of having one big party during the crowded days preceding the Christmas vacation. Is it pos' sible to find an evening in this lastfweek-offthe-year that is not filled with the shouting, singing, and gen- eral merry-making so characteristic of the Yule season? Is there any more fitting way of ending the year? Of course not. Everybody who is anybody resembling a senior Statistician or an editor-in-chief or associate editor on the Provi staff trails into Miss Florence I. Otis's room after school on December 15. The details of this year's Provi plan are given to the group, and editors work with the new additions to their staffs, as clever and unique ideas are created in the fertile brains, and rapidly put on paper. A few evenings later, the Provi staff is treated by the Pageant staff in the social room to a Mother Goose party. As always, when these two staffs clash, a good time is had by every one present. The Pageant staff goes so far as to pause in the midst of a busy afternoon to stage a mild little party about its own diminutive tree, thoughtfully supplied by Dorothy Parker, the editorfin-chief. This is only one of a number of shindigs these journalists plan for relief from the strain of meeting continual dead- lines. PAGES TAKE TIME OPP STEADY THERE, GIRLS! SANTA VISITS A MATINEE PIFTY FRENCHIES CANT EE WRONG MOTHER GOOSE ENTER- TAINS PAGEANT AND PROVI 87 Pre-holiday excitement is hardly over before post- holiday parties descend on the eager throngs. All the clubs which couldnt squeeze in a gathering before Christmas hasten to do so now. The result is a full calendar of club activities. Craving a change and yearning for activity of some kind, the Commercial club holds an election on lanuary IO to remedy the empty situation caused by vacating officers. Eleanor Krutsch, Helen Groen- hof, and George Hubner are chosen to officiate for the rest of the year. A week later, club members are treated to a movie and a mimeograph demon- stration. A pertinent opening speech, a nicely driven point, and Proviso's top-notch debaters are off on a drive to the Chicago-Suburban League cham- pionship----they fervently hope.

Morton is the first of many tricky and trying con- ference debates. When all is said and done Proviso is revealed the winner by virtue of her superior speaking ability. Where were you on the night of lanuary 2l?i' Senior Guard girls know where they should be- and are-efor they turn out en masse to enjoy an evening of dancing in the social room. In flowing taffeta, satin, and chiffon, the girls delight in a pre- Prom thrill of formality which is heightened by fragrant corsages and a general feeling of dressed- up fun. There is a guest couple for each Senior Guarder, so the floor is filled with something like fifty couples. Our Undiscovered Resources provide David W. Seabury with the theme for his speech at the Ianu- ary Youth forum on Sunday afternoon, lanuary 23. GOES TO PRESS COMMERCIAL DEPARTMENT The First Congregational Church of Oak Park gathers in a goodly crowd of Oak Park and Proviso young people who benefit by the words of this distinguished speaker, writer, and psychologist. Says Doctor Seabury, We are plagued by fears of all sorts which prevent us from disoocvering our undeveloped resources. To attain heights undreamed of, we must conquer these fears and release our true abilities to work effectively for us. It has been proved that animals under the influence of fear can do things they ordinarily are incapable of doing. If we can direct this sarne stimulus of our fears toward some constructive end, we too can accomplish things we were thought incapable of doing, we can discover our undeveloped resources. Doing its share in the big fieldhouse dedication festivities, the Pageant has a special issue. The Dedication program and the poem by Naomi Stef- fenhagen are its features. A few weeks later the eagerly awaited combination offer of Pageant and Provi is presented to Proviso students. The two are priced at two dollars and fifty cents, payable in four installments. New second-semester officers are plucked from the bumper crop of girl riders in the Riding club on Ianuary 31. lacqueline Propst, Gladys Storch, Alicedel Baker, and Ruth Wallander are chosen to lead the equestriennes on to even greater riding glory for the spring months. Toboggan parties, splash parties, just plain parties, ping pong tournaments, dancing classes: all cf these activities come under the general heading ot l-Ii-Y projects. The boys are very busy this semester.

A trip to Starved Rock has been one ot the highlights of the tall program tor R.A.Bullington's section. Eager club members travel to the historic site and roam the trails. The super-boy scouts spend the night, several ot them indiscriminately choose the top of the rock tor a bed. The next day a roving cameraman, Bill Watterson, catches some oi these rugged individualists as they take in the lay ot the land. Many ot the most intensely interested club mem- bers in school may be tound in the ranks ot the Proviso Players. Plays ot every description are attempted by them, and they are torever eager to serve the school with their presentations. The Home Economics clubs and Girls' League are most otten benefited by their dramatic displays. Veritable Emily Posts arise from the mingling ot cups, saucers, and good manners that mark a tresn- man girls' tea on Ianuary 28. The purpose ot the tea is to teach the young ones the why's and where! Iore's ot etiquette, and through the medium ot an original play and a talk by Miss Oalcesff-'both con- cerning the importance ot good manners the girls come away from their tea party happy and many words wiser. A turn-about in National Honor society atiairs comes at the beginning ot the second semester. Miss Ellendore Lampton replaces Miss Virginia Hay ward as sponsor ot the organization, because ot Miss Haywards newly-assumed duties as sophomore girls' counselor.

The Maestros induct new officers into their musical depths on February ll. Albert Cliver, George Pecor, loe Pafume, lohn Fuszek, and Pauline Kurz are the new virtuosos in charge. Provi! Provi! Who'll buy a Provi? The editor-in chief asks the plaintive question one morning early in February, and the managing editor echoes it at an assembly two days later, All hands are on deck to help make the V238 Provi a pecuniary as well as an artistic triumph. Subscriptions are asked for, and eager students sign promises to purchase after hear- ing most inspiring pep-talks by student leaders and faculty sponsors. That the Provi is fundamentally a lot of hard work is a fact that workers on the annual always try to impress firmly on their idle, care-free classmates. There is the work of Wilson A. Law's business staff, whose student manager this year is Charles Moore. Collaborating with him are Shirley Agnew, Lois Carter, Charlotte Ford, Marie Gee, lohn Marckese, lanet Miers, Lillian Nunziato, and Ann Waichunas, seniors. Hilda Bleichroth and Howard Hill, juniors, get in training for next year. The art committee, supervised by Miss Wilhelmina Marm, is headed by Shirley Schultz and Marjorie Ahlers. The editorial staff is topped by Barbara Fawcett and Ted Groenke, with Miss Florence l. Qtis as superviser. Dorothy Parker juggles countless pic- tures, George Hussey oultivates knowledge of the faculty and their work, Lorraine Hanley, Mary Birch, Ted Fairburn, and lohn Kuehn act as scribes. Clover Scully has charge of the clerical work. The senior committee, headed by lunerose Beau- champ, Pasgual Fricano, Bill Frederick, Betty Rodger, and Dorothy Perring, spends hectic weeks trying to evolve clever write-ups for every one of the more than seven hundred members of the Class of l938.

The complicated machinery ot senior writeeups brings forth the suggestion that the senior section carry only identifications. The motion subsides in a roar of protest, and editors toil on. After experimenting last year with a list oi activities and a sentence personality sketch tor each senior, the Provi turns to a combination ot the two tor lQ38 senior write-ups. The selection Written by Lorraine Hanley which serves as Overture to the Provi also furnishes its inspiration. Lorraine Writes the legends which go with the allegorical interludes in addition to her work as scribe. The lyrical outbursts spread through- out the book are the Work ot Naomi Stettenhagen.

Five being an unusually large number of boys en- rolled in a domestic science course, this group takes advantage of its newly-gained superiority and en- deavors to run women out of the cooking business altogether.

IUNIORS PAL-ING AROUND 51 ' ,V ,M club tradition, everything is done to make the mothers feel at home and to entertain them in the very best style. On February Zl, those crowded sieges of picture- taking for the benefit of school organizations and faculty are begun. For two or three weeks, joyous students skip out of classes, evading tests by means of a flourish of a little orange card which entities them to a picture posed with some specially favored club. And all are to help make the i938 Provi a thing of beautyf--more or less. With an emphasis on sea scouting, mature scouts meet to form a Senior Boy Scout troop of Proviso. Members must be over l5 years of age and, prefer- ably, have first-class rating. This troop will have as ideals the promotion of citizenship, service, health, and vocational training. Because of the resignation of l. B. Davis, who left Proviso to teach in Minnesota, the Mathemagicians have a new sponsor, H. G. Monilaw. Second semes- ter finds new officers alsog they are Don Thistle- thwaite, Helen Lehnhardt, Carolyn Williams, and lames Ulrich. That lively, always-on-the-go Pep club elects new officers early in February. Those chosen are Ruth Hayes, Phyllis Main, Valerie Hill, Lorna Dahne, and lack Groenke. This club continues its cheer-inspiring antics throughout the winter. Starting off with a bang, the newly formed Rifle club elects officers: Boy Frederickson, Don Cunning- MATHEMAGICIANS Top Bow: lngalls, Hussey, Can- non, Bartusch, Merrifield, Abbott, W.

Aiming high, this club soon becomes active in Proviso. Faculty supervisor is M. B. Good- win. The Dial club, which gives members vocational guidance, begins the second semester with election of new officers. Arthur Sonnenberg, Floberta Younger, Cora Worger, and lohn Marckese are the ones selected to lead the organization in its second semes- ter of speeches and vocational tests. Provisas amateur short-wave listeners have an election to begin their second semester's activities. The new Badio club officers are Paul Krueger, Al Devak, Carl Dorner, and Warreri Mayes. To eliminate from club lists the names of inactive members, the Student Council club committee checks up on the attendance sheets of all clubs. Those mernf bers who have been absent or unexcused from two consecutive meetings will be dropped from the rolls, and will not be permitted to rejoin until an interf vening semester has elapsed. George Fl. Hemingway, a member of the Oak Park Camera club, speaks to Proviso camera-addicts on the history of films, types of films, and the gentle art of developing. His talk is illustrated with slides. ln order to preserve the records of their trips, Senior Science club members elect Harry Lehnhardr to the new office of recorder. These scientific seekers visit the Mars Candy com' pany, the Argo Starch plant, and the Oak Park telephone exchange. They also have many inter' esting experiments and lectures to satisfy their craven appetites. PEP CLUB Top Row: Benedeck, B. Beach, Gross, Berg, Crowe, Krutsch, F.

Giving more service to their school, the Ushers' club lead people, not astray, but to their seats at such functions as the Senior Glass play, the dedica- tion of the fieldhouse, the band concerts, the G.A.A. show, and various assemblies. The boys and girls of this club are real school leaders. Under the spon- sorship of R. A. Bullington and Miss Virginia Hay- ward they get an education in human nature through their work in the aisles. A just-fun spirit pervades the meetings of the Spanish club in the midst of winter scurryings-about. Through the hearing of Spanish musical selections and speeches, and through the singing of Mexican folk songs, a conversational acquaintance with this soft Latin tongue is acquired. This organization truly combines business with pleasure at its meetings. It is open to all students who have had or who are taking Spanish. Similar activities are carried on by German club members. They are content with the business of improving their knowledge of the language which enables them to have so many enjoyable after- school gatherings. Ouaint German tunes and novel presentations in German speech satisfactorily fill the spare time of these Teutonic devotees. One of the few clubs whose members participate in all of the activities, is the Neo-Pythagoreans. These mathematical sophomores do not have out- side speakersy they believe in doing things them- selves. Learning how to make and work Napier bones is one of their main accomplishments. The program for a meeting of these mathematical wiz- ards invariably consists of mathematical games played for the sheer love of monkeying with figures, squares, unknowns, and logarithms.

The Cosmopolitan club, whose members have international interests, continue to meet under Miss Willa Gray's supervision to discuss current events and to interpret them. Occasional speakers add to the interesting and enjoyable variety of their meet- ings. This organization does its bit to carry on a pro- gram of Good Neighbor Policy with foreign coun- tries. By means of speakers, natives of different coun- tries, it strives to get the other fellow's viewpoint. Throughout the year the members of the Travelers club meet tif they're at home? to plan and discuss various trips. This group, which is under Miss Frieda Wunderlich's sponsorship, has Lois Powell, Dorothy Craumer, Shirlee Powell, and losephine Schoffen as officers. Still doing their good work, the Cine club members continue to show the movies to various classes as a part of the visual education program of Proviso. This club, under l. W. Moellc's eagle eye, has no offif cers, and is wholly a service club. The first move of the Chess club in the second se- mester is to elect new officers. Alexander Nedzel is president once more, and is assisted by Arthur Skul- tin, Wilbert Bausch, and Mildred Mullen. lOC SPANISH CLUB Top Bow: Carson, Hunt, Little Casper, Needham, Carnot, Schulz Nissen, Frees, Brown, Carling Wolff, Schmidt.

The Student Council executive committee also car- ries on its work through the winter months.

The committee is composed of the chair- men of the standing committees of the council, the council officers, the president of the senior class, the president of the Girls' League, and the president of the junior class. Students are a trifle sad as the brisk winter club activities come to an end. Life has been on the cool side for a long time, but sparkling eyes and rosy cheeks are direct results. Zephyr breezes seem to promise fulfillment, yet it is difficult to relinquish sleigh rides, skating parties, and snowball bombard- rnents. The past three months have been crammed with carefree winter fun. But one must always progress. Winter becomes a haDDY memory as stu- dents turn to the impending flurry of spring plans.

EPISODE VI: ATHLETICS Noi shouts Youth to Age, who tells him that there is no beauty in this sordid World, that there is nothing but dirt and sin to be found in life. I have faith in physical fitness, and I love the beauty of it, Youth answers. Strength is beautiful. Like the moon creating tall, silver-robed priests from the gaunt trees of winter, it makes life a splendid, Wonderful thing. Youth is seen finding this beauty, loving this beauty, in this, the sixth episode of the PAGEANT OF YOUTH. Basketball dominates the first scene of this Winter spectacle of sports. Coach Storby's varsity cagers open their season on November 24 against the alumni. Greenness and inexperience take their toll as the Pirates fall, 28-25, before the onslaught of such stars of the past as Mizen and Heileman, '37, I-Iaberkorn, '36, and Flood, '35. TWO Weeks later, the season really gets under way with three games against Morton. The varsity loses its second conference tilt in two years, 20-14. Again inexperience is a major factor in the defeat. The fresh-sophs surprise all by smoothly taking the Cicero youngsters into camp, 18-12, and Coach I. W. Soderberg's freshmen pile up a 25-14 victory. First try-outs for the Wrestling squad, which has been practicing for a month, are held the following Monday. T. Bishop, Preston, F. Bishop, Marco, DeLaPaz, Stackpool, Remus, Kyriazoplos, Vahldick, Remick, and Iohnson win to become first-stringers- for a while. Ted Seabrooke, state champion from last year, Blair Remick, Iim Mustain, and Lenny I-Iumphreville take over the 155, 175, 165, and 145- pound positions before the season is far gone. Hopes for a successful basketball season take a terrific beating the next Friday as Evanston, dark- horse in the Suburban league pennant chase, hands the Pirates a 43-15 lacing in the Evanston fieldhouse. Out-stretched six inches to the man, Coach Bryan's fresh-sophs also take it on the chin, 22-21, in over- time. Monday morning coaches see much to be happy about in the Bryanites' score, however. Victory's cheery smile returns to Proviso again Saturday morning when the freshmen triumph, 32-27, and the jay-vees, under the tutelage of I-I. L. Rider, win, 31-20. Evanston furnishes the victims.

Feature of the next scene of the PAGEANT is the varsity's first victory, a 23-21 overtime tussle against Highland Park. The fresh-sophs drop a 28-20 game the same evening, while the jay-vees triumph over Morton, 23-17, the next morning. During the Christmas vacation, Coach Storby takes his varsity cagers down to the Pontiac tour- nament. They drag themselves back to Maywood after three days of battle with one 28-26 victory over Centralia and two losses at the hands of Rock- ford and Dwight, 46-23 and 45-l2. Oak Park makes a mess of the next scene in the spectacle. The scourge from across the river drowns Coach Hagen's varsity and fresh-soph swim- mers, 52-l4 and 44-22. Proviso garners only two firsts, one in the fresh-soph medley relay and the other by Eaton in the fresh-soph 50-yard breast stroke. On lanuary 6, Proviso takes revenge. The var- sity triumphs over the Blue-and-Orange, 26-23. Coach Bryan's stars of tomorrow are swamped, 35-8, however. The freshmen continue their win- ning streak by bumping off the Oak Park under- classmen, 36-25, at Proviso, Saturday: and the jay-vees drop a hard-fought l9-14 contest. Age hands youth a thumping when an alumni mat squad downs Proviso's potential state champions, 20-8. loe Marco starts the afternoon out right by groaning out a time advantage over Maxie Stein, '35, but to no avail. Russell, '35, joins DeLaPazg Stackpool saves another five points for youth by pinning Leo Connors, '37g Brown, '37, gains a time advantage over Humphrevilleg Bill Wilson, state champ in '36, ekes out a close decision over Ted Seabrooke, state champ last year, McGovney, '37, beats Bevan: Laurie Wilson, '37, beats Remick, and Pass, '37, beats Iohnson to give the oldsters a one- sided victory. Sock! Sock! New Trier takes its toll in the next scene. The Norsemen lure the varsity and fresh- sophs up to Winnetka, Tuesday, and present them with two more big blots on their records, 32-23 and 25-13, respectively. Coach Slimmer's wrestlers return to the PAGEANT with a flourish as the next cavalcade passes in review. First they swarm all over Morgan Park, 34-ll, scoring three pins in the nine matches. Two days later, Calumet assaults the Pirates, but is squashed, 35-5. Fond visions of another state wres- tling championship begin to appear in the back- ground as the sixth episode of the PAGEANT OF YOUTH goes on.

The local varsity swimmers are dunked, 39-l8, and the fresh-sophs, 4l-25. On lanuary 17, Highland Park wins, 42-26, against the varsity, and 47-lU, against the underclassmen. Insult is added to injury three days later as New Trier's second team downs Proviso in a Varsity- fresh-soph swim meet, 49-l5 and 52-14. Coach Ha- gen's swimmers are severely hampered by ineligi- bility, however. The second-string grunt-and-groan squad pounces on Amundsen, 30-6, as the spectacle of sports con- tinues with wrestling the feature attraction. Another scalp is added to the Pirates' string a week later, Lindblom, city champion last year, barely .scrapes together a time advantage and a draw as the Blue- and-White wins, SZV2-4V2. Pageantry, speeches, and music mark the next event as a milestone in the history of Proviso. The new fieldhouse is dedicated. A journey through this magnificent building is in order as its rooms will be the scenes of future contests of strength and skill among the Youth of Proviso. Upon entering the yawning doors, one sees ahead of him the trophy room. lndirect lights cast a soft, welcoming glow through the entire foyer.

Around three sides of the basketball court is a balcony seating 2000 persons. At each side of the gym are located the shower and locker rooms. A locker is provided for each student, correcting the cramped conditions of the old dressing quarters. At the rear of the building is a 30- by 75-foot swimming tank with a balcony seating 294 persons. Adjacent to the pool are two locker rooms for use during swim meets and for classes. Also on the ground floor are a small practice gym, and a l03-by-ll2-foot drill court en- circled by a l,f'l6 mile cinder track. A suite of coaches' offices is found on the main floor. The addition of the fieldhouse, according to ad- ministration officials, is another step in making our school supreme. With the flood-lighted sta- dium and quarter-mile outdoor track, it gives Pro- viso one of the finest athletic plants in the state. Gym classes move into the new structure during the next week. The giant building becomes alive as eager youth strives to uphold its ideals withir the great walls. Seniors are assigned to the new pool whenever possible. As a result, many haughty DRILL COURT GYM SEATS PRACTICE GAME BEGINS! SENIOR G.A.A. GROUP Top Row: Glos, Budd, Crotty, Stewart, Smith.

The PAGEANT changes in mood from brilliant re- ception to somber departing and defeat as the team swims its last meet in the old pool, only to be sunk, as Waukegan out-splashes the fresh-sophs, 35-3l, and the varsity, 48-l8. From now on meets will be held in the new fieldhouse pool, the old pool will be turned over to the girls' physical education de- partment. Extending their new rivalry from football to basket- ball, Proviso and Fenwick meet on Fenwick's court, lanuary 22. Storby's Pirates take a licking, 32-22, and the fresh-sophs come through With a 22-20 vic- tory over the Friar juniors in the last 30 seconds of play. G.A.A.

With the coming of a new semester, work begins on the annual G.A.A. show, which will be placed in a nautical setting aboard the S.S. Proviso. Spring also brings a new program of golf, archery, baseball and swimming. With the dedication of the fieldhouse the girls hail a new era in physical training.

The Dance club, under the sponsorship of Miss Dorothy Iackson, conduct a Dance Symposium with the dance groups of neighboring schools as guests. After the election and installation of next years officers, G.A.A. members look forward to an active stay at Northern Camp, Williams Bay, Lake Geneva, Wisconsin, from Iune ll to l8. After ten years of increasingly crowded conditions, the girls' physical education department reioices with the boys' department in the new fieldhouse. Although a good program of physical education had been possible without an adequate physical plant, it is a great advantage to have a beautiful building equipped with lockers and showers for each student. FIRST STEP TOWARD SWIMMING THE CRAWL J' .. -iii: 1, ' ' ' l 7 ' The most notable example of the program of ex- pansion made possible by the fieldhouse is provided by the girls' swim classes. During the first semester of school only 350 girls, none of whom were juniors, took swimming. In the second semester there was an opportunity for tank instruction to 600 girls, 200 of whom were juniors. Turning the old boys' physi- cal education plant over to the girls has made ex- pansion such as this possible all through the girls' department. The second round of conference basketball games begins on Ianuary 29, when the Pirates travel to Morton. They come back with a 40-25 defeat. The fresh-sophs take it on the chin, 3l-2l. In retaliation, the freshmen and jay-vees hand the Ciceronians two lickings, 38-27 and I9-I7.

The fieldhouse is initiated four days later when a record-breaking crowd watches Proviso's swim- mers go down before Morton in the first meet in the new pool. The fresh-sophs lose, 37-29, and the varsity, 46-20. Basketball looms into View in the following scene. Evanston calls on Proviso to give the new gym its first work-out. When work is done, the scoreboard reads: Wildkit varsity, 295 Proviso varsity, 207 Wild- kit fresh-sophs, 21 p Proviso, 15. The freshmen journey to Evanston Saturday morning and take revenge, 28-21, while the jay-vees lose in overtime, 30-26. Proviso's wrestlers of other years hand the grunt- and-groaners of today another licking, 20 V2 to IOVZ, that evening in the new fieldhouse wrestling room. Ted Seabrooke, pride of Proviso today, betters his previous showing against Bill Wilson, pride of yes- terday, to gain a draw. February 9, and another knight of King Sports' court appears in the PALGEANT. Ninety-two trackmen report to Coach O. H. Matte to prepare for the fast approaching outdoor season. Vahldick, Suburban league high hurdle champion, Essig, who topped the Suburban league mile record last year, and Farmer, Corbett, and Gross are the veterans report- ing. These boys form the nucleus around which Coach Matte will try to build a track team. Wearily the Pirate mermen enter the PAGEANT again to meet Evanston. Wearily they lose, 51-15. Coach Slimmer's second-string wrestlers brighten up the scene by crushing Amundsen, 36-8. As the spectacle of sports goes on, it reveals Pro- viso's cagers bowing before Oak Park, 43-32. Not to be outdone, the fresh-sophs take the short end of a 25-14 tally. The jay-vees follow suit and are downed 19-14. Lone bright spot for Proviso in the week-end of basketball is the freshman quintet's 22-20 victory. Playing their second game in two nights, the Pirates scuttle Fenwick, 35-25, in a return engage- ment in the fieldhouse. Coach Bryan's fresh-sophs score a 20-14 victory to make the evening complete. 112 Top Row: Coach Hagen, Siligrnuel- ler,, A. Kligis, Perlick, C. Miller, McDonald, R. lngalls, Sittig, Mayes, Cameron.

The undefeated fresh- man quintet continues its victory string by knock- ing off the Norsemen, 29-28. Christmas ends right there, however, the Green-and-White fresh-sophs and jay-vees trim Proviso's sails, 34-26 and 36-l9, respectively. Washington's birthday-eve sees Highland Park nip the Pirates' two-game winning streak in the bud. The Storbyites' last-half rally barely falls short and they lose, 34-33. Coach Bryan's underclassmen eke out a l9-l8 victory. For the first time in history, the Suburban league swim meet is held at Proviso. On February l9, two hundred mermen from the seven conference schools attempt to break New Trier's monopoly on Subur- ban league swim honors. The final tally reveals their failure, New Trier takes top spot in both the varsity and fresh-soph divisions. Proviso's only point-makers are the fresh-soph medley relay team of Partin, Eaton, and McKenzie, and Partin, who garners a fourth in the 50-yard back stroke.

The grapplers meet the toughest opposition of the year in the next scene when they journey down- state to battle Lewistown as a final warming-up be- fore the state tournament to be held at Urbana March 3, 4, and 5.

PROSPECT GROVE DEPARTS THE OLD GIVES WAY TO THE NEW Basketball begins its final round as the fresh- sophs drop their closing game to Waukegan on the latter's court, 19-18. The varsity is also downed, 41-31. Coach Soderberg's freshmen close their sea- son without a defeat by whipping the Waukegan underclassmen, 30-19. Their record augurs Well for Proviso's standing in Suburban league basket- ball circles for the next two or three years. The junior Varsity closes its scorebook after recording a 29-21 victory. Coach Slimmer's matmen are seen grappling with the state's best in the long-awaited state meet at Urbana as the sixth episode of the spectacle of sports draws rapidly to a close. Ted Seabrooke and Blair Remick garner individual titles while lim Mustain and Freddy Bishop, hampered by an ail- ing shoulder, chalk up second places to give Pro- viso 26 points and the championship for the third time in the three-year history of the tournament. Champaign takes its third consecutive second place. At a dinner after the meet, Coach Slimmer is elected chairman of the State Wrestling Coaches' associa- tion. The final scene in the winter spectacle is laid in the LaGrange gym Where the Regional basketball tournament is held. After trouncing LaGrange, 45- 28, in the first round, the Pirates are eliminated by Glenbard, 46-37. ln the consolation game, the Blue- and-White bows to Morton, 36-25. Baseball slips into the PAGEANT long enough to call Orv Grove, Proviso mound-ace, who signed a contract with the White Sox, to Longworth, Texas, where he will go into spring training with the Dallas Steers, Sox farm-club. The sixth episode of the PAGEANT OF YOUTH ends in a burst of glory. Eight of the best basketball teams in northern Illinois compete in the sectional tournament in the fieldhouse, March 9, 10, ll, and 12. Glenbard takes the title after four nights of scream- ing excitement. 114 WINTER SPORTS VARSITY BASKETBALL SUMMARIES LA ORANGE REGIONAL TOURNAMENT November 24' i937,MGrCh 5I 1933 MGI. 3 LG Grunge .................... 45 Mor. 4- G1er1bc1rd .. .. 37 S' O' Stofbyf COUC11 Mor. 5---Morton . . . . 25 H.

Though he fails to blow hats and kites on high, he succeeds in sending thoughts soar- ing in a delirium of spring fever. However, not all are infected with this annual plagueg proof of this is the presentation of scholar- ship medals at an assembly on March l to all whose concentration and effort have merited reward. One hundred and fourteen receive medals before an auf dience of sophomores and honor roll students. ln charge of the assembly are Richard Merrifield, Ger- trude Vetter, leanette Andermann, and Robert Schulz. Louis Marchi, '34, speaks on the importance of making the right selection of subjects in high school. Six hundred drivers and would-be auto drivers check on their ability to cover ground safely through tests beginning on Monday, March l4, conducted by the safety department of the Chicago Motor Club. The tests at Proviso are sponsored by the safety committee under L. S. Bracewell, chairman. Business before pleasure is the old maxim, but the P.T.A. card and bunco party on March 4 is one case in which the pleasure accomplishes the busi- ness. The purpose behind this card-fiend spree is to swell the treasury of the needy student fund, and preparations are carried out to make it one of the biggest parties Proviso has yet had. Proof of the value of the fund is the fact that ninety students have been helped through it in some Way this year. An extra-special treat for Proviso boys is the visit of Whizzer White, All-American halfback and Rhodes scholar, who talks on Scholarship and Ath- letics. Accompanying him is Bernard F. fBunnyl Oakes, Proviso graduate in 1917, and Whizzer's coach at Colorado university. Proviso finds itself sympathizing with the inhabi- tants of a zoo on Monday, March 7, when state in- spectors from the University of lllinois and the office of the state superintendent of public instruction observe it from all angles as a part of their project to suggest improvements in schools. inspectors are E.

Surely, but unfortunately not slowly, lt draws near: Com- mencement will be here all too soon. Seniors will no longer rate as such: they will be frightened ice cubes in a refrigerated world. Measurements for caps and gowns bring this fact only too forcefully to mind, and future wearers sorrowfully meditate on that strut down the aisle to a graduation march, and even more sorrowfully on the time when that march will be just an echo. George R. Comery, for eight years a teacher in the commercial department, trainer of eight winning bookkeeping teams, resigns to accept a position in the Wilson Iunior college which is connected with the Chicago Normal college. His work has been much appreciated by his students. Replacing him is L. F. Reynard. And so, as winter merges into spring, indoor club festivities are replaced by plans for expeditions into a fragrant out-of-doors. New ideas for activities blos- som simultaneously with the trees and bushes. The spicy vigorousness of the winter months is replaced by something softer. Dreamy-eyed students gaze wistfully from classrooms. There follows a frenzied program of picnics and similar outings. Intensely interested in the quill and scroll--and all that they signifyeis the Parnassus club, an or' ganization which meets outside of school. It consists of students who have had creative Writing under Miss Florence I. Otis. The members, however, do not limit their activities to the intellectual exclusively, a pot luck supper served on Monday, March l4, is thoroughly enjoyed by all pencil-pushers, At the following meeting on March 28, Dr. Fannie Carpen- ter of Oak Park is guest of honor.

Proviso takes another step forward with the erec- tion of its club bulletin board early in March. The board is an attractive one, boasting pictures that identify the special space of each organization. The art work is the result ot many weeks' work under Miss Wilhelmina Marnms supervision. A vast and gaily testooned banquet hall, other- wise known as the Proviso cafeteria, is the scene of new glory for the National Honor Society on March IG. The occasion is the Society's Eirst Annual Schol- arship banquet for all honor roll students and their families. Speaker for the evening is Dr. Albert W. Palmer, president of the Chicago Theological semi- nary. Other adult speakers are E.R. Sifert and C. C. Taggart. The students' point of view is presented by Lois Reisz, and Victor Stone, head of the Proviso chapter, presides. The Proviso Players depart from their usual pro- cedure of meeting on March l7. They imbibe knowl- edge of the theater from the words of a real actor, rather than from the performances of their fellow- members. The speaker is Harold I. Kennedy, from Orson Welles' cast of Iulius Caesar. The Players invite members of the Green Mask and Harlequins to attend this very interesting meeting.

There are officers, too: Yvonne Steffenhagen, Marilyn Baker, Ruth Stiles, and Al Tanner lead the group in its scribbling. Remedies for stringy locks, unruly curls, and otherwise temperamental strands are prescribed at the hair-dressing demonstration presented at the Girls' League tea on March 25. Mr. Mueller of the Wilfred Academy of Hair and Beauty Culture is the adept coiffure-doctor. The attractive hair-styles of his models excite many oh's and ah's on the part of the audience, and with queer manipulations of the comb, many, no doubt, try to duplicate them be- fore the next mirror they encounter.

Those who rank scholastically in the upper three per cent of the class are automatically elected. Others are voted on by every teacher who has had enough contact with any student to form a definite opinion of his character, service, and leadership. These students are required to be in the upper third of the class. Besides the sixty-one newly elected members, the society includes twenty-six seniors who were elected in their junior year. Enthusiasm runs first, with bewilderment a close second, at the French club's highlight meeting of the year on March 30. The contributing cause? The presence of five rapid-fire French conversationalists, some of whom are very recent arrivals from the Gallic country. The result? A highly enjoyable and enlightening afternoon. Third-year students display advantage over their juniors in being able to disf cuss topics of French life with the distinguished guests in more fluent sentences. Very much pepped- up over this sudden dip into the language's more practical side, every member emphatically approves of more meetings of this type for the club. On March 30, Miss Florence l. Otis approaches her combined Provi staffs with a proposition that is to prove of great benefit to needy seniors who are unable to buy their own Provis. She asks the coop- eration of editors, artists, and business staff in gets ting donations from outside Proviso friends who are eager to see a Provi in every senior's hands on Class day. Any extra money gained from the drive will be used for Provis to be sent to libraries and schools. George Millush of the art staff tops the so- licitors in number of sponsors secured. The spectacle of sports loses its separate identity in this last episode. lt marches to an ever faster tempo, joining with the other groups in the caval- cade to create a glorious, spectacular climax to the Pageant of Youth. lt begins with the Suburban league indoor track meet in the Oak Park fieldhouse. Essig and Scalf come in one-two in the mile, Vahldick scores a first in the 60-yard high hurdles and a third in the lows, and Allen garners a tie for third in the high jump to give Proviso seventeen points and third place, bet- ter than the Blue-and-White has done in years. The standing: Oak Park .... .... 4 l Highland Park ..... 12 New Trier ......... 40 Evanston .......... 6 Proviso ............ 17 Morton .... . . . 5 Waukegan ......... 5 Coach C. E. Bryan's fresh-sophs led by Farmer who scores two firsts-one in the 60-yard dash which he does faster than the best varsity time and the other in the broad jump--take fourth place. Basketball sneaks back into the Pageant on March 17 when the annual junior-senior classic takes place. When the thrilling battle-many called it a farcefis over, the juniors are on top, 28-21. This year a clash between the freshmen and sophomores is added to the show. The sophomores win, 15-12. The first dual meet of the season is held in the fieldhouse Saturday, March 26, as the fresh-sophs outrun Waukegan, 66-20, and the varsity smears the boys from the north shore, 75-20. Vahldick stars as usual, piling up 18 points with victories in the high and low hurdles and broad jump and a second in the high jump. Baseball enters the Pageant in the next scene as batterymen begin baseball practice under the tute- lage of D. B. Appleton. Proviso is out to continue her brilliant performance of four conference champion- ships and one third in the past five years. First re- ports of Orv Grove's talents are flashed from down south. Experts call him the best prospect in years. The following Saturday the varsity thin-clads go to the Oak Park relays where they take fifth place behind Oak Park, New Trier, York, and Highland Park, whom they had bested in the Suburban league meet. The Pirates rest in second place at the end of the special events but their failure to score in the relays, which count double, drops them to fourth. The lntramural basketball tournament which has been going on in the background of the Pageant for months is partially completed on April 1. Room 234B and C is crowned champion in the senior divi- sion as the underclassmen continue their play. FROM INTRAMURAL CHAMPS TO BASEBALL K f APRIL ACTIVITIES April showers appear in a condensed form. A record-breaking snowstorm obliterates all traces of early spring. Students awake one morning, breathe deeply the fragrance of the air, and find icicles forming in their lungs. A glance outside shows the trail of Snow White and the Seven Drifts. Shovels are requisitioned, car cranks go into action, and the hardy survivors trudge to school through a beaten path down the middle of the road. So comes the gentle month of April. Daddy Longlegsf' written by lean Webster, the senior class play, arrives on the scene. Directed by Miss Cecil Stark, the play is one of the best Proviso has seen. The story of Iudy, the little orphan, and Iervis Pendleton, her generous benefactor, composes an evening of grand entertainment.

Slogans are posted each day of the week on some phase ot etiquette. Students start the day right by hearing ot the mistakes oi Sylvester and thus learning what is The Right Thing to Do. This last is the title of a booklet on manners which is presented to each homeroom by the Student Council AS DADDY LONG LEGS STRlDES THROUGH PROVISO THE HTAMED SHREWU AND COMPANY and Pep clubs, sponsors of the courtesy drive. As a climax to the campaign for better manners, a movie, Here's How, is shown to Proviso students. Faculty advisors who aid production are Miss Bea- trice Yates, Miss Ada Ross, H. E. lohnson, Miss Mar- garet Barra, Miss Louise Porch, Miss Ellendore Lampton, and I. W. Moelk. Student workers are Selwyn Ancel, Norval Zimmerman, Willard Hen- dricks, Alvin Engel, and Harry Abbott. Portrayed on the silver screen are Norbert Essig, Robert Iaffie, Marion Heidorn, Mitzi Hesselbarth, Howard Schmidt, lacqueline Propst, luanita Polanco, George Clement, leanne Betts, Betty Rodger, Victor Stone, and Ed Zack. A courtesy questionnaire has been prepared a few weeks previous to the drive. Students indi- cate which courtesies are the most rare around Proviso. Results of the first regional meet of the State Latin tournament, held at Evanston high school on April 2, show loyce Goodfellow in first place in the third- year division and Laura Lu Tolsted third in the fourth-year divisionf loyce is eligible to enter the sectional meet in De Kalb and, if victory still reigns, the finals at Urbana. Six other students represent Proviso at this contest. April 8: Today the Mixer is snowed in. April 9: Ditto the Sophomore Spree. April 9: Ditto the debate tournament. The freshman assembly on April l2 is a gala gathering. Included in the guests are Snow White, Marion Petersdorff, and the dwarfs, Billy Miller, Mary Kay, Doris Olexa, Walter Knosp, Howard Harris, Ann Pernice, and Teresa Berg. The players are as animated as the Disney cartoons, to the great enjoyment of the audience. The freshman chorus, under the direction of R. Lee Osburn, completes the performance with songs from the screen play. Ioseph Pafume plays appropriate music on his accordion throughout the production. Miss Wilhelrnina Marm t SOME l OF THE REASONS POR COURTESY WEEK LATIN LASSIES AT LARGE l3O and Miss Beatrice Bonine originate and present the play. Another feature ot the assembly is the play, lnitiation, directed by Miss Cleora Eancher. The Easter bunny, always a generous little fel'- low, brings warmer weather. ln addition he grants we-aried Provisoites two holidays, April l5 and l8. Echoes of China reach Proviso through Dr. Lois Greene, sister of Alden G.Greene, of the science department. Dr. Greene resided in the interior ot China for four and one-half years until her return to the United States two months ago. Dr.Greene's interesting observations shed light on the Sino- lapanese war situation. Vibrations, rhythmic or otherwise, fill the ether near the physics rooms when cigar boxes, light bulbs, coffee cans, nails, test tubes, and other disf carded articles are combined by physics students to produce sounds supposedly musical. Broad minded classmates act as judges. There is no doubt that the music goes 'round and 'round, but the burning question is: Where does it come out? Proof that Forward, Provison is descriptive of the school, is the newly acquired scientific appa' ratus for facilitating work in various fields. The speech recording machine is used by debaters, orchestra, band, and stenographic classes, and gives students a chance to check up on diction. The science department boasts a binocular compound microscope through which bacteria and organisms, not seen through the regular microscopes, may be detected. Also in that department is a microscopic projection device by which microscopic views can be projected on walls or other flat surfaces. This will also be useful in the home economics depart ment for proiecting cloth fibers and the like.

Entrants in the intra-mural speech contest, spon-- sored by the Dial club, are no longer unaccustomed to public speaking. Thirteen seniors, 23 juniors, 32 sophomores, and 36 freshmen express their ideas on What's Ahead for Youth? The finals in the senior division give first place to Harry Gill, second to Boss Blake, and third to Vera Tonkin. Silver medals are given to each class winner and the all-school winner is presented with a gold medal. Faculty members act as judges for the youthful orators. Proviso's speedy bookkeepers place first at the district bookkeeping contest at Peotone, lllinois, on April l6. Reno Testolin is first, Eleanor Krutsch, second, Dorene Tams, third, and lrene Seidel, fourth. The next hurdle is the sectional contest at Dundee. The bookkeeping team emerges triumphant. No less than first place falls to these energetic people. More evidence of fast approaching Commence- ment week is the voting for a Baccalaureate speaker in senior home rooms on April l9. Final results show the Bev. B. W. Merrifield victorious. The class motto selected is, Keep to the Dreams of Thy Youth. Class colors are gold and light green. On April 21, Dean Baird of Berea College, Ken- tucky, speaks to seniors on the fascinating topic of educating mountaineers. At the P.T.A. meeting on that same date, girls of the clothing classes equal the Easter parade when they present their annual style show. Amazing are these attractive products of the needle and thread, made by daughter with her own little hands. A second important item on the P.T.A. program is a repeat performance of the play Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs.

At the business meeting, next year's P.T.A. officers are elected. They are William Gee, Mrs. Albert T. I-Iarding, Mrs. George Andrews, Mrs. Bert Younq, Miss Helen Masters, and R. E. Poplett. An annual Parent-education conference is held at the First Congregational church in Maywood on April 22. Proviso Township high school and District 89 combine to make this affair an unprecedented success. An exhibit by high school and grade school students is a feature of the meeting. Seniors, juniors, and sophomores all get a whiff of the tantalizing aroma of social life at the junior- Senior Mixer on April 22 and the Sophomore Spree on April 23. The east gym, transformed by skillful crepe paper artists into a gay ballroom, serves for both parties. Both occasions are highlights in the year's events. Starting off their contest siege with eleven victors, proclaimed so by the judges at the district contest at the Glenbard high school in Glen Ellyn, eleven soloists and ensembles look forward hopefully to the succeeding orchestra meets, the state, at Bloomingf ton, Illinois, and the sectional contest, at Elkhart, Indiana. Rated first division by the district judges, the fol- lowing contestants enter state competition: Doreen Whedbee, piano, Beverly Ba Shore, piano, Lois Hunziker, piano, Albert Oliver, violin, Arthur Fied- ler, violin, Charles Moore, clarinet, Doris Ball, 'cello, string trio, Kenneth Roquemore, Doris Ball, and Mary Birch, violin quartet, Albert Oliver, George Pecor, Herbert Kubitschek, Fred Thierbach, violin quartet No. 2, Denton Clyde, Malcolm Wilson, Charles Taylor, Martin Karachun, string quartet, Kenneth Roquemore, Fred Thierbach, Albert Oliver, Doris Ball.

Nominating committees nominate and on Friday, April 22, candidates for the offices of next year's senior, junior, and sophomore classes are presented in three assemblies Student Council possibilities also get their two cents' worth. Voting takes place on Monday, April 25. A final tally brings the Student Council officers to the foreground. They are Harry Lehnhardt, president, Robert Davis, vice-president, and Betty Beem, secre- tary. High mogul of the Class of '39 is to be Fred Bishop. Assisting him are Reno Testolin, Helen Lehnhardt, and Paul Krueger. The junior class offi- cers will be LeRoy Brown, Charles Kline, Dorthea Medal, and Donald Marsh. The president of the sophomore class will be Glenn lohnson, with Mary Kay, leanne Rissert, and Robert Sanders assisting. On April 28 and 29 freshmen frolic at their festive class parties. The underclassman dances prove to be an effective culmination of the year's social events. lournalists take time off and travel to Northwest- ern University to watch the presses roll on April 29 and 30.

ORGANIZATIONS April Eool's day has charms for Pepper-uppers, who become more gingery than ever at their final pep-fest in April. The occasion is an after-school dance in the social room, and really typical Pep club fun is had by all. Five women are trapped in an elevator at the Harlequins' meeting on April 6. Of course, it's just a play, but the actresses have very strange names: Clarence, Roger, Tom, and so on. It's all part of the fun that this dramatic club enjoys conf sistently at its carefree gatherings. The president of Oakland City college of Oakland City, Indiana, is the speaker at an interesting assemr- bly sponsored by the National Honor Society on April 8. Dr. W. P. Dearing, who uses Cheated as his subject, holds his audience of freshmen and N. I-I. S. members quite enchanted for half a fifth period. Not content with being in the public eye approxi mately five times in the spring months, the N. I-I. S. has its almost-last fling, in the form of the very solemn and impressive induction ceremonies on April I3. Seniors elected last year yield their hone ored places to the new seniors amid an atmosphere of candles and soft organ music. After several months of red hot debate, the Stu- dent Council takes a step forward as it adopts a new constitution, but not before several amendments are made. The new government provides for an independent house of representatives with its own W l speaker and clerk instead of an executive-controlled house. In the middle of April, the Dial club holds its spring party, with a bevy of song-and-dance stars accompanying it in its search for fun and frolic. Several days later, dignified Senior Science club members descend from their lofty positions and stage a big party in the same joyous manner as many of their less serious contemporaries. The fervently contested intersectional I-Ii-Y ping pong tournament comes to a sizzling finish as loseph Russo of Mr. Wiley's section beats Ed McKernan of Mr. Bullington's division in a five-game set. Another month cannot pass without mention of the organization of Proviso's nautical-minded. Early in the month of March this club, the Sea Scouts, was formed to the wide acclaim of masculine Pro, visoites. It now functions actively. The Annual Suburban Girls' conference, held this year at Bloom Township high school, is favored with a goodly crowd of Proviso visitants on a Satur- day late in April. The theme of this year's meeting is Living with People, and the speaker is Mrs. Chase Going Woodhouse. Talent from the many schools represented composes the afternoon's pro- gram. When Good Fellowship gifts, giggles, and gags commence coming and going on April 25, senior girls are no less excited than their juniors were ct month or so earlier. A tea begins the week and a large banquet brings the gala five days' affair to a satisfactory end, as Good Fellows marvel over the extraordinary secrecy maintained by their generous notewriters and present-donors. Proviso's husky athletic heroes prove their versa- tility as they turn from the gridiron, the mat, and the swimming pool to the dance floor. The scene is the social roomy the occasion, the annual Varsity club danceg the time, the last day of April. Photo-fanatics have a chance to present their work to the public when they hold a photographic exhibit in the library. The fifty-odd pictures on dis- play come from the club members' snapping sprees and have a great variety of subjects. SPORTS The early weeks of April bring, in addition to blizzards and blustering winds, the beginnings of Proviso's golf team. After fifty boys try out, Coach U. C.

Feature of the meet is a duel between Olsen city champion, and Vahldick in the hurdles. Olser comes out victorious in both the highs and the lows triumphing over the Proviso ace by a bare foot ir the shorter event. Scalf furnishes a surprise by defeating Essig in both the half-mile and mile runs A cold drizzle and Oak Park invade the Proviso diamond April 2l. Both leave successful, the drizzle chuckling over the unlimited colds it passes around and Oak Park gloating over a 2-1 victory. Schar: turns in a two-hit pitching performance, but errore account for the Oak Park tallies. l FRESH-SOPH TRACK TEAM Top Row: Damalakas, Carol, Scharama Swanson, Weltler, Bryant, Smith, Hitei tMgr.l, Holmes CMgr.l, Coach Bryant.

Schurz high school of Chicago enters four relay teams and a broad jumper to start the parade of entries which is expected to reach the fifty mark. lf this goal is attained, the Proviso Relays will bee come the biggest and most important track meet in northern Illinois, surpassing even the long-estab lished Oak Park relays. The next morning, the Dance club plays host to the first dance symposium ever held in the Chicago area. Girls from Oak Park, Morton, New Trier, Highland Park, Marshall high school, and Proviso demonstrate dance technique, methods of teaching, short sketches, and finished compositions. The pur- pose of a symposium such as this is to give students and their instructors an opportunity to see what other schools are doing in modern dance instruction. Girls' lifersaving award winners are announced April 25. After two weeks of arduous practice Sl girls win coveted awards. The varsity baseballers display a sudden reversal of form, April 25, as they down Evanston under a barrage of hits, 6-O. Surges makes the headlines by turning in a one-hit pitching performance. Pro- viso rooters begin to have hopes againy the Pirates make only one error. The fresh-sophs spoil the cele- bration by dropping a 6-2 decision to Morton. The end of April sees the completion of a concrete curb around Proviso's big eight-lane track and work begun in earnest on three tennis courts to the north of the old east practice field.

With eager expectancy, Youth faces the magnificent possibilities of life. The young heart is confident and unafraid. There has been winter with bleak, dull skies and hard, black ground. Trees were exposed in their ugly naked- nessg the laughing waters of lakes were frozen in a death of ice. Pure snow fell only to be marred by the dust and the smoke of humanity. All beauty seemed dissolved. Then spring comes. Radiance grows from dullness, success from failure. Youth has hope in the future. May, the last episode in this PAGEANT OE YOUTH, comes into view. Seniors grudgingly begin this last lap, wondering how such a feeble old man as Father Time can possibly get around so fast, Finalists in the oratory bouts of the intra-mural speech contest are Harry Gill and Ross Blake, sen- iorsg Gwendolyn Montgomery and Iune Lehnhardt, juniors, Albert Iohnson and Virginia Owen, sopho- mores, and Beatrice Marcus and lack Groenke, freshmen. On May 5 these competitors try for the grand prize at an assembly in the auditorium. The inspiring combination of candlelight and solemnity does a repeat performance on May ll. A. new group of junior National Honor members re- ceives its final induction rituals before a morning assembly of freshmen and honor roll students. Girls' League Installation is a follow-up to the N. H. S. ceremonies two days later. Pastel dresses and flowers splash the stage with rather tear- drenched color, and senior girls take a turn at weep- ing-in next year's Guard girls and the newly-elected League officers. Next year's league leaders are leanette Ander- mann, Betty Iones, Della Petterson, Mitzie Hessel- barth, and Phyllis Main. In the spring young men's fancies slightly slither to young women and dancing, so almost every club has a dance or party shortly before school closes. Some organizations are even daring enough to have a picnic. Need the fact be mentioned that attend- ance at these very social affairs is practically unani- mous? Such events as a Hi-Y May breakfast, French, Spanish, and Italian club picnics find assorted slack- clad figures tramping blithely to Thatcher's Woods THE NEW CURB A-SETTIN' D.A.R.

The band and the orchestra culminate hard prac- tice in the production of their best quality of music at state contests. Musical jousts for the band are on April 30. The orchestra enters the battlefield on the sixth and seventh of May. The band comes through with flying colors at the state contest. A recommendation for the national contest is the reward for hours of practice. Music, soft lights, and rhythmic action, plus lovely ladies in long gowns and gallant gentlemen in sum' mer formal apparel, form the recipe for the social finale of the year, the Iunior-Senior Prom. The Prom is held, as usual, in the Oak Park club on May 6. Hardly recognizable are the dearest of friends, de' void of the skirt and sweater, or tieless and coatless appearance of ordinary life. Proviso at its social best: 'that is the Prom. Those examinations are here again. Even though these are the last seniors will take before undergoing the more difficult test of life, they express little en- thusiasm on the subject. Cramming is the order of the day, or probably the night, and dusty brain cells are swept for the last speck of knowledge. This is the final chance for seniors to prove themselves. It does little good to be armed with a diploma if there's no ammunition to go along with it. It's amazing--the way heretofore strictly intellec- tual groups kick up their heels and have fun as closing time draws near. The Parnassus club ends its successful literary season with an equally suc- cessful formal dance on Commencement eve. The social room is the place, and games are provided on SENIOR GOOD FELLOWSHIP TEA, SEND-OFF TO A GALA WEEK, APRIL 25-29 Ieanne Betts and Ieannette Wynne Pouring SENIOR CHOIR MEMBERS Top Row: Walker, Rhode, Lueder, Hannaford, Hill, Lebovitz, Essig, Cohrs, Swanson, Neuman, Drews, Norden, Wittekindt, Iohnson.

Lee Osburn. the sidelines for those who don't enjoy dancing as much as they might. The Class of l938 for the last time basks in the light of high school honor: some of its members for the first time feel its warmth at the annual Honors assembly on May 23. Awards of many types recogf nize achievements in many fields: scholars, athletes, artists, and skilled workers take their bows. Commencement week: the final climactic episode. Long lines of marching seniors find hitherto inof fensive feet perplexingly unrhythmical. At length the cap-and-gowned ones are ready for their last appearances. Baccalaureate on Sunday: Class day on Wednesday: Commencement exercises Friday evening: the pace of the movement quickens as the days speed by. Thus the PAGEANT OE YOUTH ends for the Class of l938, and its members leave forever the familiar roles they have portrayed during their years at Pro- viso. Graduation marks their emergence from ama- teur performances on to the great Stage of Life. Here they must strive for the places they attain: they must work hard and practice long. They must not lose faith in their purpose: they must love those parts they want to play: they must keep hope strong in order to excel. Whether they play minor parts or leads: whether they be understudies or principals: or whether they remain behind the scenes and make it possible for others to achieve success, they must inevitably affect their generation for better or for worse. For the Class of l938, the PAGEANT OE YOUTH draws to a close: the PAGEANT OF MAN makes its entrance.

Each cycle brings forth a greater Youth, Each episode reveals new talents, new skills, Creates new interests, Until the next impetuous group appears, And draws the spotlight from those passing on. Over the Stage of Life Moves the Pageant of Man: A perpetual, living spectacle, A colorful, earnest, glad array, Now guiclcening its pace to the beat of drums And the summons of distant trumpets sounding, Again, pursuing duties apart, Each one urged on by promptings from within, Each new movement a triumph and a challenge Advancing, more potent, more fascinating, Each in its turn the climax of the moment, Until a newer, more powerful one comes, Defying that challenge, And winning for itself the plaudits of the world. We, the Youth of Proviso, Now seek our place in that Pageant of Man, Each one to play his role as he may, Rising, falling, striving, conquering, Now guiclcening our pace to the beat of drums And the summons of distant trumpets sounding, Again, pursuing our duties apart, Each one of us urged on by promptings frorn within Eor a brief moment, we shall become the climax of the Pageant Then we, too, take our place among past episodes Lost in the dim, receding procession.

We who have acted O in it for the past four years are about to assume more diflicult characterizations in the larger drama of the World. During the long run of our play, we have learned much of theatrical tradi- tions. There has been comedy, in which humor and fun prevailed, there has been melodrama, in which quick-moving, concentrated action was stressedg there has been tragedy, in which emotional reaction and character were most important. We have discovered that underlying these types of drama are three themes: FAITH, LOVE, and HOPE. We have come to have FAITH in the power of edu- cation, in the satisfaction of service, and in the value of vigor. We have learned LOVE of high ideals and their inspirational and encouraging qualities. We have admired and sought harmony and beauty in living. We have gained conidence in ability, and have built high HOPE for the future. Now the roles we have played in the PAGEANT OF YOUTH go to you who remain. We charge you to play your parts Well. Remember that without true atmosphere and good pantomime created by minor actors, and without naturalness and sincerity in the manner of the leading actors, the play cannot be a success. Learn your lines thoroughly, so that you may speak and act with assurance. Listen for your cues, and take your entrances and exits at the right moments. Learn to co-operate, to understand and to fulfill orders. Interpret sympathetically other characters. Remember that the costume alone cannot make the great actor. Prepare yourself for the surprise, the suspense, and the conflict that are Woven into the plot. Conduct yourself well in the spotlight, and take your curtain calls graciously. Above all, Work as a whole to make your PAGEANT OF YOUTH a bril- liant spectacle, so that you may go forth prepared for the best roles in the greater theater of life.
