Re- miniscent of football celebrations, it featured majors and majorettes twirl- ing their best. The program undoubt- edly had the most eye-and-ear appeal of any seen on the stage for a long time. 'CITIZENS OF TOMORROW,,, a regular WGN feature, starred Superintendent Sifert, the choir, the cheerleaders, the color guard, and some 600 Provisoites in the audience on Tuesday, March 6. Six of the lat- ter were chosen to act as quiz kids, and reaped sundry shekels as their re- ward. In order that the program might sound professional, a dress re- hearsal was held in Proviscfs audi- torium under the direction of Phil Maxwell, veteran WGN-e1'.

COE PRO IS ROADCASTING OVER the Citizens of Tomorroww program on Station WGN on March 4 became a gala Occasion in the minds of the 600 Proviso students who com- posed the studio audience, and those who worked diligently to produce a success. Philip Maxwell, producer of the XVGN staff, came to the school to rehearse the student body in a preview of the half-hour presentation. Superintendent E. R. Sifert, the choir, cheerleaders, color guard, and six students chosen from the audience for a quiz game, participated. On the day of the broadcast, those students lucky enough to be ticket-holders were excused early to travel to the downtown studio in a long caravan of chartered buses. A tour of the Tribune plant was offered to news writing and printing classes. After the broadcast, two movies, Trees to Tribunesl' and the All-American Way,,' were shown. fjlll' f'f7t't'I'fIIl, 1'f111111111y Sflllflil' xii om' 1111! fo 1'I1111'U1' r11'i'1' tl tiflllllllll ill flu' P11gr'1111l.

TUDENT PARTICIPATION in School Government, was the subject of the Student Council spon- sored panel discussion on February 1, in which the viewpoints of adminis- tration, faculty, and students were thoroughly and effectively aired. Complaints and compliments were tossed about with casual ease, and all felt they had lifted a load off their chests. Sflzmlnzgz nlohmon, llesuer, Robertson, Averill. Smllrifz Supl. lf. li.

The as- sembly, in a short skit, stressed the real significance of Christmas through two young girls, not fully aware of the true Christmas spirit. The Shep- herds' Christmasi, added the final sparkle, and all went away with Good will toward menu in their hearts. CTI ITIE U HE BILL OF RIGHTS,', Ll dramatization of the funda- mental democratic principles as seen through the eyes of a European refu- gee, was presented by the Citizenship committee of the Student Council on February 21. The assembly was de- signed and written by Beatrice Mar- cus to bring to the minds of the students the freedom of press, of speech, and of assembly, for which our forefathers so gallantly fought. HE MEN XVHO MAKE the things we call our girl friends on, are pictured at the left in the process of teaching the somewhat dumbfound-ed public the art of making the operator understand what they say. The assem- bly was sponsored by the Maywood Rotary club and the American Telegraph and Telephone company, in an effort to improve enunciation and to simplify the complex gadgets that compose the modern telephone system. 27
