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

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.
