Miss Straub, Mr. Sifert, Miss Carroll, Mr. Taggart UPERINTENDENT EARL R. STFERT is the adminis- trative head of Proviso high school. His five years as superintendent have been marked by consistent growth in all departments of the school. A man of vision, he has from the first looked to the future of the community and has striven to foresee the educational needs of the township in the light of economic development. The rapid increase in industrial demands occasioned by defense enterprises has shown the wisdom of his emphasis upon the desirability of training boys and girls to play a part in community life and in business. Assistant Superintendent C. C. Taggart, with something approaching genius in executive details, oversees the multi- tudinous activities of the main office.
