'FWZ' HE BOYS' AND GIRLS' coun- selors this year once more played their unusually complicated roles with the best of good graces. Both the orientation of the new students and the job placement of the graduates were entrusted to them, along with their other duties. It is with their guidance that the students plan and arrange their social parties. Freshman boys' and girls, coun- selors are H. E. Carr and Miss Vir- ginia Hayward, respectively. The sophomore boys are guided by Otto Dillner, while the girls are under Miss Ruth Beck. W. Hinds and Miss Lois Moore are the junior-senior boys' and girls, counselors. I-IE NATIONAL YOUTH Ad- ministration, designed primarily for the aid of needy students, has gradually established itself as an or- ganization that serves both the school and the students. The local project is under Bryan Wagner. URSE HELEN ROBINSON is on call all day every day for the usual score or so of cuts, bumps, and bruises. She advises consultation with a physician when necessary. 'l'11jr: Mr. Dillner, Mr. Hinds, Miss Shiner, Mr. Carr. 16 ,wan Miififlr: Miss Knaiiclc, Miss llaywnrd, Miss Moore, Miss Beck.

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.

His efficiency is coupled with the ability to see both the human and the humorous side of life. Miss Mary Carroll, officially known as the registrar, is in general charge of the office force. She keeps the perma- nent records of all students, and prepares transcripts to be sent to colleges for those who plan to attend higher insti- tutions. In her spare time, she consults with prospective collegians, giving them advice about college and other advanced schools. With it all, she dispenses much kindness. Miss Lynn Straub has just concluded her Hrst year as private secretary to Mr. Sifert. , , . ' l 5
