The social, eco- nomic, and political bases of our civilization now utilize machinery and the vast program of mass production which it makes possible. We of Proviso use machines and tools as we work day after day, building strong bodies, keen minds, and courageous spirits, and doing our share in pre- paring students for the defense of the nation for which we soon shall be responsible. The United States Army requires of its officer personnel certain physical, intellectual, and moral qualities. These very qualities are traits which we try to develop as we work in school. This year ' s Provi will en- deavor to show how closely our training and our work correlate with those qualifications demanded, and how we are preparing ourselves to be the kind of person needed in the present emergency. Because machines and tools play so vital a part in our school life, and because the work we do with them is of major importance in the world of today, we, the Provi staff of 1942, have chosen as the theme of this book Proviso at Work. Emphasis is placed throughout on the equipment used in the school. Steel, the powerful, sturdy, indispensable metal that makes the framework of modern construction, and flame, the heat that melts and welds the steel for our machines — these two have been selected as the symbols of the 1942 Provi, and as our colors, flame and steel. May we work at our studies, cur sports, our social affairs, to be- come more efficient citizens, ready, eager to make the flame of our youth forge an unbreakable, indestructible steel of character for the foundation of a safer, better world on the horizon of tomorrow! T( FLORENCE I. OTIS Supervisor of both Tageanf ami ' Proii, who, through her energetic personaHty, keen intel- lect, and uncommon ability to do everything expertly, has become an indispensable part of our school; whose duties on the never-ending job of publications exemplify, throughout the year, Proviso at Work ; whose instruction has aided hundreds of stumbling beginners toward literary achievement; whose record of super- vising twenty annuals in Proviso is truly re- markable; whose untiring talents have stimu- lated those who really want to learn; and finally, whose inspiration and ideals of perfection have urged us ever onward, we the Provi Staff of 1942, gratefully dedicate this volume. np.r TTt-r; SCHOOL I see Proviso at work in the sciiool and tlirouglioat its departments. I notice the efficiency of the administration, And the counselors and the nnrse healing troubles of mind and body. I watch girls typing and filing in the offices. And the janitors at their unwearied labor. I behold in the library an atmosphere friendly and industrious; In the Parent-Teacher Assticiation, one of helpful endeavor. I observe students learning and laughing and playing. Aggressive Youth, eager, persistent. Demonstrating success in American Education week and the Book Fair; Studying governments, past and present, in social science; Reading and re-reading the literature of time. Shaping English grammar into a living creation. And translating it into modern languages or the im- mortal Latin: Siaguig IB choir or choruses. Skillfully drawing music from instruments and hear- ing its melodious undulations, Learning to cooperate in band and in orchestra; Painting and sketching to capture the artistic dream; Multiplying and subtracting and developing theorems and solving eifuations in mathematics; Investigating nature and scientific discoveries; Preparing through stenography and commerce to plunge into a world of business; In home economies, cooking and serving and deco- rating for the advance of home management; Drafting, drawing mechanically, printing, and work- ing with hands in industrial arts; And strengthening bodies in the gymnasiums. I see students swarming through the halls, chatter- g. And hear the half-hush after the bell; As I sense the potentiality of Proviso ' s alert minds, I glimpse America ' s progress Arising from their ideals and their work.

Hueben- thal, the Parent-Teacher Association again launched a career worthy of note. Supporting the president were Mrs. Carl Friedley, vice-president; Mrs. W. H. Granert, secretary; Miss Willa Jean Gray, treasurer; and R. E. Poplett, treasurer of the Worthy Student Fund. On October 23, Open House night, parents toured Proviso ' s main building conducted by students chosen from various service groups. Routes were mapped out to include the library, science and music rooms, and the new NYA workshop; all terminated at the cafeteria where refreshments were served. The P.-T.

Inspired by Mrs. Carl Friedley, chairman, the mem- bership committee reached new heights, totaling 2,842. A special tea celebrated the achievement. Variety in programs was stressed this year. Among them were the following: October 23, a complete pro- gram by the choir; December 4, the Proviso band under the direction of J. Irving Tallmadge; January 29, a comedy drama, Land of the Free, by James Reach. During the year Proviso has been all out for de- fense. At the meeting of January 29, Assistant Superin- tendent C. C. Taggart, representing the administration; Anita Hurwitz, a British refugee; and H. L. Cooper, faculty, spoke to the parents, telling them what Proviso was doing in the defense program.

A new feature this year was the display in local stores of pictures of Proviso taken by Charles Schonert, ' 42, under the direction of Miss Florence Williams and Rich- ard L. Daniels. Open House was observed, and freshmen attended their regular A, fifth, and sixth period classes. The social room proved popular throughout the week; teachers from grade schools serving the township held a tea on November 5; the Maywood Arts club exhibited work of local artists; a patriotic program was presented by the Musart club; Miss Margaret Selleck, artist- lecturer, addressed the Chicago West Towns Auxiliary; and Reciprocity day was held by the American Associa- tion of University Women. The Principals ' and Super- visors ' club held its annual dinner in the cafeteria, and the P.E.O. met in Proviso ' s library.

Mrs. Dciiar and Miss Yun er try to locate a book. English classes visit the Second Annual Book Fair. A class in American literature meets many magazines. 20 HTHE LIBRARY PAGES are those energetic students who buzz through Proviso ' s spacious and fluor- cscent-hghted Hbrary, replacing books in their proper phices, rendering as- sistance to those seeking books, deliv- ering slips to study halls, and per- forming many other indispensable tasks. Each year they pause from their work to celebrate Christmas with a festive party. Again this year a colorful Book Fair was exhibited as an observance of National Book Week. The slogan was Forward with Books, and special emphasis was placed on new volumes. Miss Elizabeth Bright resigned from her position as assistant librarian to be married; she was replaced by Miss Maxine Vincent. Throughout the year, English classes spend profitable hours in the peaceful atmosphere of the library studying books, viewing current ex- hibits, and reading periodicals.

To main- tain the correct mech- anism, every tube must be kept air-tight. ORKING BEHIND THE SCENES day after day keeping Proviso in first-class order is the mainte- nance force, superintended by A. J. Offermann. The staff is responsible for the general condition of the school building and grounds. The extensive cafeteria managed by H. T. Smith is a favorite spot in school. Five days a week between 11:15 and 1:15 it overflows with activity as students pause and thoughts turn to food. V ficr Left: Oliay boys, ttirti on tin- licat ' .

Creative and news writing most fundamental one in Proviso, develops the bases train students for work on publications; secretarial Eng- of cultural knowledge through its many types of English lish classes prepare their members for future work in the classes. In general, underclassmen learn the principles of business world. As four years of English are required at grammar, and read the poetry, essays, and short stories Proviso, students learn both to appreciate literature and which are classics in themselves or which deserve note to produce original work, because of their famous authors. Upperclassmen study Because magazines arc published in such variety ami in such quantify in this country, students arc taught to appreciate their invaluable riches. Radio plays an increasingly important part, not only in the class in radio speech, but in many classrooms when special broadcasts arc scheduled. Pronunciation, spelling, derivation, synonyms, and a host of other facts about ivords may he learned by painstaking perusal of Mr. Webster ' s masterpiece. Orson Welles ' s production of Julius Caesar tremendously vitalizes that classic tragedy. Following the text enables the students of speech to study inflection, interpretation, and mod- ulation of tone. He accepts full responsibility for his own work yUALIFICATIONS OK U. S.

These students are utilizing one of the main features of the English department — the classroom library. In the shad- ow of the Globe Theater, they read the plays of the great English dramatist whose works first were presented there. So that they may be proficient in the use of that valuable medium of expression, all freshmen study conversation as a part of their English class- room work. This actiiity helps them in every type of personal contact. Mr. Immcl, Mr. Mcore, Miss Stark, Miss Reid, and Miss Lonek. Recording voices is one of the most amus- ing, dreaded, and profitable undertakings in public speaking classes. Judging from the happy faces of these two young ladies, they must be reading that silly disserta- tion, Arthur, the Rat. Anyway, ive feel certain that in the ultra-modern future, someone ' s grandchild will be delighted to listen to his ancient ancestor ' s blurred and high-pitched voice squeaking ' round and ' round. For the present, a recording helps the student improve the pitch, tempo, and inflection of his voice. SPEECH A FTER A STUDENT hm studied one of the various speech courses offered at Proviso, he should emerge a clear-voiced, poised individual who has learned the art of conversation and public speaking, and to whom stage fright is unknown. These speech courses include dramatics, public speaking, argumentation, and radio speech. In dramatics, special stress is laid upon finding and cultivating latent dramatic ability; the history of the stage forms a background for the study. He has a sense of humor OrALIFICATKJ.NS OF V. S.

The com- edy, Joint Owners in Spain, was en- acted before a hilarious and appreciative audience, the Proviso Players. The actors icere chosen from one of Miss Stark ' s talented classes in dramatics. Student cooperation is evident in such panel discussions as this one. Here one learns to give and take, to recciie opinions and weigh them, and to speak both pleas- antly and forcefully. Completely equipped with table and microphone, these students exhibit their interest in the ideas being voiced. Notice how poised they look; this is another fruitful project in public speak- ing classes.

XyE NOW VIEW Proviso at work in the Latin department of which Miss JuHa Evans is head, assisted by Miss Mar- garet Phehin and George Haddock. This year only two courses were offered in Latin. The aim of the courses is not just to confuse students with what may seem to be an endless string of conjugations and declensions, but to enable them to compre- hend and use the English language with greater proficiency. Directly and indirectly, sixty per cent of our language is derived from Latin. First-year students become acquainted with the educational, governmental, and cultural activities of the Rome of yester- day. Objects of historical value which hold interest in the classroom are wax tablets resembling those used as slates in ancient days, and models of the catapults, which were heavy artillery for the Romans. Sec- ond-year students gain increasing satisfac- tion in tracing the relationship between Latin and English, since they have acquired a somewhat extensive vocabulary. Legends of Rome, Caesarian wars, and Roman myths and fables also help to enhance the interest of pupils. Latin plays an important part in every- day life. The study of the language gives one a more intelligent grasp of the meaning of English words and far more discrimina- tion in their use. The language also illumi- nates textbooks of Roman history and affords a deeper insight into that great civilization from which our own has in- herited so largely.

With French, German, Spanish, and Italian oflfered in Proviso, the linguist-to-be finds many opportunities in the modern language department. The study of a country ' s language in- cludes also a study of its history, customs, literature, music, and art. One ' s outlook upon the lives of people other than those of the United States is greatly broadened by a knowledge of language. There is an increasing trend among students toward greater appreciation of foreign culture and civilizations. 1 He gots people to cooperate with liiui find iclth each other QUALIFICATIONS OF U. S.

Lee Osburn directs the multitude with such skill as to make its fame reach far beyond the walls of Proviso. Broadcasts over nation-wide hook-ups have become yearly features of choir work. High-lighting the year was a performance on December 30 for the Illinois Edu- cation association banquet at the Morrison hotel. When the choir finished singing, cheering people arose from their seats. Superintendent Sifert wrote to each choir member, The program you people gave was superb — it was varied — it simply sent the chills tingling down the spine. I was mighty proud of every student and of the remarkable way in which Mr. Osburn did his share of the work. Once more Proviso Township high school students and teachers have delivered the goods in no uncertain terms. The two home concerts, a Christmas choral concert on December 7, and the spring concert on April 12, were punctuated during the year by a broadcast over WMAQ on October 4, a program at the Hines Memorial hospital on December 21, and music for the Sunday meeting of the Proviso Boys and Girls Conference on March 8. The much awaited and long remembered choir and choir alumni breakfast took place at the break of dawn on Sunday morning, October 5; at this time the members really got back to nature, and loved it.

Director J. Irving Tallmadge whips these budding musicians into shape and sends them into the music world to spread the fame of Proviso far and wide. Three home concerts on February 6, March 1, and April 5, featured new and unusual music, much of it off the presses only recently. The first concert was unusual in that it was dedicated to the United Nations and was composed of music from each of the represen- tative countries. Most outstanding in ensemble performances was that at the Music Educators National conference in Milwau- kee on March 29 and 30. The ensembles broadcast a 15-minute program on an international hook-up over NBC. Other ensemble performances during the year were at the Northwestern University Summer School band, and the Region Three National Clinic. Supporting the band in every measure is the Band Parents Board, of which J. W. Oxley is president; Earle Cromer, vice-president; R. E. Martin, treasurer; and Mrs. P. F. Sieving, secretary.

Such classics as The Secret Marriage, by Cimarosa, and the Prelude to the Meistersingers of Nuremberg, by Wag- ner; and program music like the Petite Suite de Con- cert by Coleridge-Taylor, and the Valse from Serenade for Strings, by Tschaikowsky, found their way into concert programs during the 1941-1942 season. Highlighting the performances by the orchestra was a program given at the Region III clinic for orchestra, band, and vocal music on January 17, at Northwestern university. The appearance of the orchestra on this pro- gram placed the Proviso organization among the best music groups in Chicagoland. Augmenting the three home concerts on November 30, February 16, and April 19, were performances at junior and senior class plays on October 24 and March 2 5, respectively, and before the P.-T.A. on March 12. Two trios and a dinner orchestra were the groups re- sponsible for spreading the fame of the concert orchestra beyond the walls of Proviso at dmners, teas, and special programs. 41 MATHEMATICS C. A. Johnson U. C. Foster Miss Hildebrandt (chairman) Miss Arends F. W. Baer r AN YOU SOLVE a quadratic ' ' equation? Can you plot a graph? Do you know to what the product of the means is equal? Do you know the binomial theorem? No? Evidently you ' ve never studied mathematics at Proviso, for if you had, you would be sure to answer the afore-mentioned questions in the affirmative. You see, f you ' ve had four, three, two, or even one year of math, you just can ' t help learning something, and there is the opportunity to absorb a great deal of knowledge. With all America war - conscious today, mathematics has become a practical subject of study. Defense industries and the armed forces are clamoring for people who know their math. In this department, one can really see Proviso at Work, prepar- ing for the future. The thoughtful looks on the countenances of these trigonometry stiiilents can well he understood by all ivho have taken the course. At present a surveyor ' s transit seems to be the innocent cause of all the brain waves filling the picture. Take your pick, folks; which girl will solve the problem first? Will it be the one striving to solve it by the graph method, or ivill it be the one using the formula? It doesn ' t really matter much so long as they each knoiv ivhat they ' re doing. Solid geometry students find their tvork made easier by the use of three dimensional figures instead of by relying entirely upon draicings. Posing for this picture ought to put them in solid uith all concerned. • 42 Miss Tcrhunc W. A. Liw H. G. Monilaw V. R. Kent Miss SwMnson • ivriTH A WIDE VARIETY of ™ subjects ranging all the way from general mathematics to trigo- nometry, the math department at- tempts to provide its students with a foundation of vocational work as well as an always useful knowledge of basic math. Thus it is, with these two aims in mind, that this department offers courses in freshman algebra, plane geometry, advanced algebra, solid geometry, and college algebra in ad- dition to the subjects already men- tioned. As a basis for future training in such work as scientific research, com- merce, and economics, this depart- ment is rivaled by few other courses. Mathematics, like English, is a com- mon language, and he who can speak it fluently can usually talk himself into success. General mathematics itudcuts put to prac- tical use their newly acquired kiioiilcdge iti plotting graphs ichich shoic the amount of money spent in each homeroom for de- fense stamps. When these six brain children get to- gether, any unsolved plane geometry prob- lem had better beuare, for knocking com- plicated math questions doiin to their oiun size is one of their pet delights. In, an effort to proie the two triangles similar, these five gentlemen have pooled their viental resources. If two heads arc better than one, think bow mud} better five heads must be! 43 SCIENCE NATURAL SCIENCE ' SA HETHER the large enrollment in zoology, botany, and geology is due to the excellently equipped laboratories, or whether the labora- tories are a result of the large enroll- ment, hasn ' t yet been decided. But it is certain that 460 students feel that an hour a day in one of these classes is no: wasted time. Well, uhat have tic here? Mr. Bills seems to be tickling the tortoise, much to the interest of his four colleagues, Mr. Brill- iiigton, Mr. Catliii, Mr. Bolt, and iiy- adorned Miss Shepard. To judge by the expression on Miss Shcpard ' s face, the vine eiidenfly is not poison iiy. Such a subject as, uhat makes a frog jump, might ivell be the topic of conver- sation among those zoology students, for the dissecting of a frog is one of the projects that zoology classes look fonvard to each year with a genuine interest. No sissies allowed in this course! What do yon suppose could be in that vacuum jar xvhich commands such fixed attention from these geology students? Something drastic must be going on to cause such serious expressions. Inciden- tally, hou about letting the poor kids in the back sec what ' s happening, too? My, oh ni ' )! Here ' s a batch of botanists evidently absorbed in their work. Maybe there is something in that thing called concciitratiun! These particular people, members of a botany class, appear to be enraptured by something projected on the wall. i • 44 PHYSICAL SCIENCE TTNDER THE HEADING of physical science come two of the classes most popular with the upperclassmen, chemistry and physics. One of the reasons for their popularity — there are 42 5 students enrolled, and most of them take both subjects — is the extensive equipment made available to all. Physics teachers Mr. Rider ami Mr. Kocheiiderfcr expcrimeut with a static electricity machine, while Mr. Johnson and Mr. Appleton, oblivi- ous of the presence of their fellow teachers, work in their own element, chemistry. Apparently Mr. Rider and Air. Johnson know ivhat ' s going to happen, but both Mr. Kochcnder- fer and Mr. Appleton seem a bit perturbed. To a)iy one uho passed by the cor- ner of First avenite and Madison street during the last Christmas id- eation, the silhouette depicting Santa Claus and his reindeers iias a striking exhibit. To the physics stu- dents pictured here, it represented a great deal of hard work and in- genuity. It took all their knowledge of pulleys and leiers and machines to set this display up. Mix sulfuric acid with sodium chlo- ride, and what do you get? This, or something to this effect, is probably what these chemistry students are asking themscl ies as they take ad- vantage of the completely equipped chemical laboratory. We don ' t knoiv what you will get if you mix these two compounds, but it ' s a safe bet to say that you won ' t find out by tasting it. Shocking, isn ' t it might be the title of this picture illustrating physics students working with elec- tric cells and voltmeters. Electricity forms one of the major topics of stud in the physics classes, and to most students it holds the greatest interest, especially when a fellow experimenter receives a shock — in- teresting for all but the shocked one. He shows persistent energy on the job QUALIFICATIONS OF U. S. ARMY OFFICER GENERAL SCIENCE xyHEN A FRESHMAN enters Proviso, he has his choice of taking either general science, or civics and physiology. The majority of stu- dents enroll in the former course, and therefore it has come to be recognized as one of the most important classes in school. Here a freshman may de- cide in what phase of science, if any, he plans to continue. When these gentlemen, the Messrs. Kiistcr, Wagner, McConnell, and Greene, get to- gether, it ' s a safe guess to say that the topic of discussion is something about motors, batteries, genes, hormones, or magnetizing, for these four are none other than the general science instructors. They do have a scientific glint in their eyes, don ' t they? Mr. Greene ' s cherished mice are carefully tended by these science students, u ' ho tab- ulate the rodents ' varying degrees of health and weight daily. Both pedagogs and pupils are as proud as new papas tvhcn the little things begin to multiply. The bright dabs of mcrcurochrome which dis- tinguish one from another, make these mice look like some new Indian species. General science freshies ponder over some weighty problems. This is all a part of their work in understanding gravity and measure. In this pulley and weight experi- ment, the students do the pulling, and also the waiting. The profound mysteries of the inclined plane are explored by these students. May- be it is simply the common theory of what goes up must come down. Is everything quite plain? 46 J.

Wall. ipLAYING an increasingly important role in Proviso is the social science department headed by E. W. Stubbs. A staff of nine teachers is on hand to prepare students for future citizenship and leadership. The range of history courses offered in Proviso is unusually extensive. With Far Eastern history, Central and South American history, civics, current events, soci- ology, world history, and survey history available, stu- dents are given an excellent opportunity to deal with matters concerning relationships in the world of history and politics. Either college preparatory or United States history, which deals with America ' s own development, is com- pulsory for all seniors. Left, bclon,-. History really must be an interesting subject judging from these concentrating students. Right, below: Preparing for tomorroiv by learning the differ- ences between democracy and dictatorship.

ARMV OFFICER 47 STENOGRAPHY TTHE EQUIPMENT of the stenographic department is as varied as the duties and the functions of the department. Typing, dictation, fiHng, and cutting stencils are but a few of the skills which Proviso stu- dents acquire as they train for their place in the commercial world. Endeavoring to make the education as thorough as possible. Proviso has established office practice classes in which students are given an opportunity to prove their value in that particular field. Big business, today, with its variety of equipment, demands a worker who is versatile and capable of operating several machines. Instruction in the operation of the ditto, calculating, mimeograph, and dictaphone machines is offered at Proviso. Stenography is opened to sophomores, juniors, and seniors who have had one year of typing. While fypcurifcrs hare no strings attached, the ribbon is very important. The masculine section of the stenographic department, Messrs. Adair, Porter, Welsh, and Koskopf, all loliinteer their sen ices. In a friendly huddle are Miss Johnson, Miss Siguorfh, Miss Bcemcr, and Miss Mitchell. Everything has its place in the world — filing cards especially. Pecking at a machine-gun pace are the busy fingers of the office practice girls icho type the tests and other necessary eiils used around and about Proiiso.

E. W. Brooks, with the assistance of nine teachers, supervises the work of the department. In January, Mrs. Lena Swinehart was added to the list of instructors. A new project in the department this year was an afterschool retail sales course for juniors and seniors interested in working during the Christ- mas holiday. Under the tutelage of Miss Alice Goodwin, eighty students attended this five-week course. By preparing students in this way to take the place of those who have moved on to defense positions, the commercial department is contrib- uting its part to national defense. The variety of business subjects available for the future job-seeker includes bookkeeping, ad- vertising, calculating, retail sales, commercial geography, economics, and general business. Visual aids, such as special moving pictures from commercial companies, demonstrate to the students actual business practices. Tot): E. W. Brooks, A. L. Fry, A. . Nelson, Miss Goodwin.

Adequate equipment of electrically operated sewing-machines and press- ing irons helps them in their work. The clothing course in Proviso con- sists of a two-year program. In the first year, girls create blouses and one simple dress, muc h time being devoted to the study of personal grooming. Busy needles make a more complicated dress and a two-piece wool suit during the second year. The girls also learn the various tests through which they can distinguish between the types of textiles. Periodicals play an important part in the clothing course, for they provide an up-to-date source of information. Miss Jackson, Miss Krebs, Miss Duvall, Miss Terdina. Ah, Ah! As ye rip, so shall ye seiv, as the old proverb has it. But, maybe the learned saying doesn ' t apply to mattresses. And she smiles while she sews a fine scam on the Singer sewing machine. Sister seam- stresses suri ' cy the scene. Getting their money ' s worth is serious with these girls, and they study the various meth- ods which serve as a guide to their textile purchases. The can of lye and the lighted candle arc necessary to the domestic detecting of inferior quality. 50 DEPARTMENT Tca- iii}i, like any other fine art, re- ijuins practice, time, ami patience before the skill (if I ' alancin; the cup ami saucer is acijuircil. Canned peaches are surieyed critically by the domestic lassies during a class lecture. The preseri ' ing of foods is one of the problems dealt icith by first-year foods students. Miss Hofcrt, Miss Bctts, Miss Oliver. ITpROM THE FOODS ROOMS tempting aromas wafted on the breezes, especially along about lunch- eon time, remind every one that, after all, the most important room of any institution is its kitchen. In Proviso ' s cream -and -green food laboratories, hundreds of girls in red-and-white checkered aprons apply their talents to the delicate art of producing a light, fluffy batch of something. The foods course is divided into two sections. Foods I deals with the basic elements of cooking and menu plan- ning. Two class periods a week are spent in the laboratory learning how to prepare food and the proper tech- nique of eating it. The remainder of the week is devoted to classroom study. It is here that the mystery of calories and vitamins is unveiled. A general survey of culinary knowledge is acquired. During the second year, the girls continue with more extensive meal planning and more detailed cooking. A feature which, this year, has been emphasized more thoroughly than previously, is the matter of food econ- omy. As always during war time, the choicest food must be given to the armed forces. Civilians at home must learn to plan their meals so that the maximum amount of food value is secured from the minimum amount of food. Cook books published during the last war have proved a great aid to the classes. 51 • INDUSTRIAL ARTS luyiTH PRODUCTION BIG-WIGS bemoaning the lack of skilled mechanics in war-tim3 industries. Proviso, looking to the future, has set about to prepare students with mechanical bent for positions with the vast army on the as- sembly line. Since all America has become so machine-con- scious, Proviso has correspond- ingly laid more and more emphasis on the industrial arts department. C. H. Bergstrom, H. L. Cooper, L. K. Amsden, C. E. Bryan. Could he th ' n anvil chdriis proves that, with priorities iiiflii- ei7ciiii production, it might be wise to take appropriate voca- tional training — or, back to the horsc-and-biiggy days! These freshmen lovingly sandpaper and shellac the prized fruits of their long and arduous labor. From the interested look on his listener ' s face, this boy might well be explaining hoiv, if the right end goes out here while the left half runs around there, and there ' s a lateral to this guy, it ' s a cinch play; since his cohort is so engrossed in the wonders of mechanical drawing, there must really be some- thing to the course. Smile when you say that, Mr. Poplett! After all, from the alert attention these stndes are exhibiting, whatever you ' re explaining must be a super-duper. 52 kNE OF THE MOST UNUSUAL features of the industrial arts department is the four-hour period devoted to vocational print- ing, auto mechanics, drafting, and machine shop classes. To be allowed to enroll in one of these classes, a student must receive special permission from his instructor. Once in, the students are given the opportunities needed to put their newly acquired training to practical use. Printing classes do much printing for the school, making posters, programs, and so on. R. E. Poplett, H. rry Stegman, W. K. E wing.

Industrial arts students cooperated in the nation-wide, gov- ernment-sponsored project of building airplane models to scale for the Naiy Bureau of Aeronautics. These students are studying some of the more or less plane plans. With all those blueprints lying around, maybe those fellows should have Dick Tracy near to keep an eye peeled for any little cape-clad, bearded vien.

The most striking feature of this department, as one enters any of the shop class- rocms, is the large amount of complex ecjuipment used. Lathes, drills, presses, grinders, saws, racks, sanders — all of these are provided by the department and mastered by the students. J. P. Ad.ini5, S. M. R.ittcnbury, L. S. Br.-cewell.

Proviso ' s administration made if possible for all students to hear the epochal address. 58 FIRST AID IN PROVISO TipVEN BEFORE PEARL HARBOR, Proviso ' s curriculum committee dis- cussed the advisability of introducing a course in first aid as a required activity. If they were unable to make a decision, one was made for them at Pearl Harbor. For the first nine weeks of the second semester, first aid was made a required subject for seniors, to be taken in place of physical education. Freshmen also studied it in general science. A large group of faculty members gave much of their time and energy to complete the 4 5 -hour instructor ' s course. Besides teaching first aid in school, they also in- structed adult groups throughout the com- munity. Fully alert to the situation. Proviso ap- pointed a civilian defense committee on which were representatives of the student body, faculty, administration, and mainte- nance department. Now air raid drills, the sale of defense stamps, the buckets of sand in the halls, are all a part of student life. Proviso is prepared! To bare first aid or not to have first aid: that seems to be the question Miss Williams is pnt- tiir to the curriculum committee. Can you blame Miss Wheeler for skeptically scrutinizing those bandages? Some of them seem absolutely alien to the illustrations in the first aid textbook. ' e-r-ry good, felloivs. Just as long as your lic- tim has only head injuries, you ' re safe. Faculty members in lery un-pedagogical poses.

Yo7ir light has been almost extinguished But still we know that it is there; And grasping, feeling hands throughout the tvorld Are reaching where their eyes do not discern. Searching for your ivarmth to lead them on. Burn brightly, Flame, the symbol of our hope! O Steel, stand sturdy! Uphold our ideals, our cherished traditions; Firmly support the basis of the world which we inherit. Give us the poicer to erect, ov the ashes of ruin. The indestructible foundations of our civilization; Show by your strength the ways of life ■ That we must establish when ive are building. The power and the courage Youth must possess To make permanent the pleasures of freedom we so enjoy. Stand sturdy. Steel, the strength of our ideals! O Flame and Steel, blend together! Stand as one, the symbol of Youth, The hope of better days and the strength of moral rebirth. Despite the shadoiv cast by a stormy world. Do not let a sudden breath bloiv out the flame. For we shall need your guidance as we travel onward. And He ivho created the resources and the beauty. May He alivays see us using our strength for good purpose; May ive never lose sight of the things ive strive for in the darkness. O Youth, keep the flame, preserve the steel! 80 THE HALL OF FAME FOR THE CLASS OF 1942 HARLOT ' A R M - STRONG: Who shoul- dered his burden of Student Council respon- sibilities with ease . . . his suavity and sincerity have helped make him a social success . . . his smile is as catching as the common cold . . . with his unyielding de- termination, he is a young man with a fu- ture and a little more than personality plus.

Amid ghosts and spirits, the sophomores frolicked on October 28 at the Spook Jive, while on the evening of May 8 came one of the bigger events, the spring party in the fieldhouse. TIjh gentleman expresses modest embarrassment for his admiring public. May xve have your autograph? Would this legend haie more punch if lie commented that this is the first time lie hare seen a Wolf(f) that was camera-shy? One, two, three, KICK! Is this hoy an Isolationist? Or Desi think he ' s Arnaz? (Editor ' s note: This would be funnier if the reader knew that Desi Arnaz originated the Conga chain.) 132 I LIMAXING their year ' s activi- ties with a tag day, talent show, dance, assembly, and play, the Class of ' 44 celebrated Sopho- more week, March 16-20.

A RMED WITH INFORMATIVE Blue Books and cautious - pioneering spirit, the members of the Class of ' 45 first toured these halls on Freshman day, before the horde of heck- ling upperclassmen descended upon Proviso the next day. They elected the following officers at the end of October: Robert Bartelt, president; Robert Voelz, vice-president; Ruby Plecas, secretary, and Bill Stubbs, treasurer. The four class leaders worked with Miss Eleanor Lonek of the English department. Proviso ' s frosh spent a large part of the first semester getting acquainted with the school, with the help of assemblies. Senior Guard Big Sisters, and Hi-Y Big Brothers. Somehow, the rooms never seem to be where the Blue Book says, eh, fellows? Cream of the underclass in- tellect are those freshmen who go through the entire first sem- ester with a perfect seal record. The Class of ' 45 distinguished itself by having such an honor group of substantial number. Members of this group are lay- ing the foundation for scholar- ship medals in later years.

O THAT THE PARENTS he freshmen might also become accustomed to Proviso, they came with their children to school the night of Open House, November 13, during American Education week. A period and all fifth and sixth period freshman classes were conducted. To collect class dues, each frosh homeroom had a repre- sentative. These dues were spent in part for the class ' gala spring party on April 24. Each freshman counseling group elects one member to the class Advisory Board. These students lead discussions, hold meetings for collective action, and supply leadership for the class. ADVISORY BOARD Standiu : Lechelt, Glaudin, Lavelle, Borzillo.

Where service is rendered, initiative created, and social cnltare acquired. I ohserve the Student Council winning satisfaction through its committees; I see them sending Thaniisgiving haslcets to the needy, Issuing Student Directories, Sponsoring pep assemblies and coaching cheerleaders, And effecting order and safety for those whom they represent; The National Honor Society, where leadership grows and character is a prerequisite for each member; The Girls ' League and the Senior Guard, which foster gracious womanhood spiritually, mentaUy, so- cially, and physically, through the fourfold girl; [n, And the Hi-Y chapters, the epitome of high stand ards for boys. ' ■ WJ I I I thrill to the creative abilities cultivated in the lit- erary dob of Parnassus, And watch the International Qnill and Scroll prae« tice journalistic inviting; I observe their effects in the school ' s publications- A iveekly Pageant of life in Proviso, The annual review of activity in the Provi, And the Blue Book to guide all newcomers. I see the Cine cinh presenting movies to classes for the furtherance of visual education; The Ushers club serving when service is needed; And the Camera club taking pictures, developing them, and learning technique. I watch students gathering during school, in the afternoons, or in the evenings, Planning, learning, making friends. Preparing for life with intelligence and tolerance. I see school organizations and all organizations thrive upon work. Phyllis Koenig He can alivays be counted on to give his full support regardless of his personal views QUALIFICATIONS OF L.

Armstrong, Mr, Gerfen, Berg VyiTH ONE REPRESENTATIVE from each home- room, the Student Council is probably the most democratic organization in school. The purpose of the Council and of the various committees of which it is composed is to provide a medium for the expression of student opinion. The organization ' s work is supervised by R. C. Gerfen. HTHE RECREATION COMMITTEE has charge of noon-hour dancing in the social room and has the fun of selecting all the latest records. Standing: Bornak, Reinhart, Mr. Stubbs, Morgan, Macdonald, Lange, Armstrong. Seated: Harrison. TTHE SERVICE COMMITTEE packs and delivers - ■ those bulging baskets of food to needy families at Thanksgiving season. standing: Miss Williams, Eyre, Gundstrom, McGuire. Kneeling: Lloyd, McGuire. HTHE CITIZENSHIP COMMITTEE presented a patri- -■ otic assembly to all four classes on February 20, the outstanding event of its year ' s work. StiinJing: Fine, LaRocco, Becm, DeAno. Seated: Leake, MacGregor. 4 He is aware of the limits of his authority QUALIFICATIO S OF V. S. ARMY OFFICER npHE LOYALTY COMMITTEE, - through such devices as planning pep assembUes and providing cheerleaders, has attempted to instill in all Provisoites a feel- ing of support for their athletic teams and for the school as a whole. The climax of the committee ' s work came on November 7 at a voluntary outdoor pep assembly heralding the all-important Oak-Park-Proviso foot- ball game the next day. Stiillilhi; : Sinionclli (chairman), Mr. Fisk. Svitfftl: Bcarw.ild, Gundstrom, Smith, Marrs, Fogarctte, Pusaicri. Harrast. Osborne, Siemens. HTHE STUDENT DIRECTORY DIS- - - TRIBUTION COMMITTEE must see that more than 2000 Proviso students, all those who ordered a book, receive their copy hot off the press. After all, any delay in finding out the telephone number of that blonde who sits in the third seat in English class might prove disastrous. Standing: Sibbach, Miss WlUiams, Demmin, Setz:;r, McQueen, Karras, Karou. Si ' iifcJ: Johnson, Eyre, Newton, Brawka, Anderson. HTHE SCHOLARSHIP COMMITTEE, seeking to reward those students who excel scholastically, carries out the estab- lished system of awarding seals and medals. The medals are presented semi-annually at a freshman assembly. Another task of this committee is the plotting and issuing of graphs each grade period to show the per cent of students from each homeroom who are on the honor roll. Staniimg: Gcngler, Mennecke, Johnson. Scati ' J: Stubbs, Grabow, Nordin (chairman), Miss Terhune, Bielefeldt, Nelson. npHE TRAFFIC COMMITTEE acts as supervisor over the vast organization of monitors policing the halls. These monitors, located at strategic places in the corridors, strive to keep the halls clear during class time by allowing only students who have a permit to pass. Stauiling: Mondrall, Gundstrom, McClow, Pusateri, Hansen, Lietz. Seated: Humbert (chairman). 137 • •TTHE ACTIVITY COMMITTEE ' S most important work is the issuing of the activity ticket, which has proved such an economical benefit to students attending either athletic or social events. Faculty supervision was again furnished by Otto Dillner. Sponsoring matinee dances in the girls ' gym, about once every two weeks, makes this committee popular with the hep-cats and jitterbugs. Stautliiig: Mr. Dillner, Polanco, Dwyer, Klasen, Doug- las (chairman). Seated: Ziebcl!, Cramer, Harrast, Finlayson. HTHE SAFETY COMMITTEE has tried throughout the past year, with slogans and by distributing safety bulletins, to make the students of Proviso safety con- scious. Immediate reduction of accidents in the school, in the home, and on the street has been the aim of this group. A compara- tively new committee in the Student Coun- cil, it has already accomplished a great deal toward improving local safety conditions. Standing: Pratt, Buik, Mr. Cooper, Lee, Church. Seated: Stringer, Watters, Lutz, Wright (chairman), Greene, Raines, Lewis. npHE CLUB COMMITTEE must see that Proviso clubs live up to their purpose by providing something worth while for their members. When all but a few of the clubs were abolished several years ago, this com- mittee took on a new importance. Before a new club can be organized, its members must submit a copy of their constitution to the club committee which in turn passes judgment on its worthiness. Standing: Armstrong, Sorenson, Dimmltt. Seated: Mr. Kochenderfer, Skallerup, Hahn, Singel, Maxant, Lange (chairman), Wright, Lambert. HTHE STUDENT DIRECTORY COM- MITTEE has the more-than-difficult task of editing and publishing the eagerly- awaited wolf book. Imagine having the job of compiling nearly 4000 names in one book and seeing to it that each name is spelled correctly! That is the work of this committee. Schaefer, Brandt, Roeike (cliairman) .

Bottom: Savage, ohnson, Cromar, 139 TT ' INDING THE LOST on Freshman day, sending dolls and scrapbooks to the Cook County Children ' s hos- pital, and baking cookies for rookies, are just a few of the outstanding activities undertaken by the Girls ' League. During the year, the League entertained guests from the Baptist Old People ' s home at an informal tea; it invited prominent guest speakers to address Proviso girls at special League assemblies; and it sponsored the monthly teas and the less formal chocolate chats that are so popular with Proviso girls. Cooperating with Chicago organizations, the League sen: a truckful of lilacs to the Cook County hospital on Lilac day and distributed them among the patients. Bow week brightened the halls of Proviso when both boys and girls sported colorful bows. The more solemn activi- ties of the League are the Easter assembly and the beau- tiful installation service held in the spring of the year. Under the leadership of Gertrude Johnson, president; Marian Johnson, first vice-president; Virginia Cromar, second vice-president; Phyllis Cargill, secretary; Dorothy Savage, treasurer; and the guidance of the three girls ' counselors. Miss Lois Moore, Miss Ruth Beck, and Miss Virginia Hayward, the League has successfully spent an- other year promoting friendship and good-fellowship among the girls of Proviso, and helping to develop the fourfold girl which is its ideal. Prcsidcnf Gertrude Johnson welcomes lisifors to the first meet ing of the Preamorimaly conference. Freshman girls enjoy a party given them by their senior Big Sisters. 140 Long before Bow week rolls around, a volunteer committee spends many afternoons tying the colorful red, blue, yelloiv, and green bows worn by Proviso students during this class identification week. Proceeds help pay League expenses. L TYPICAL LEAGUE ACTIVITIES 1 a ■ Scri ' ice is the keynote of the League, and Proviso girls ivork at the task of making life more enjoyable for the old, the young, and the sick. With appropriate music and sub- dued lights, the impressive installa- tion service is staged as officers and Senior Guard arc inducted. 141 NATIONAL HONOR SOCIETY C ' EEKING TO PROMOTE good citizenship and scholarship throughout the school, the Proviso Chapter of the National Honor So- ciety of Secondary Schools has successfully completed an- other year of active service. The members of the Society are chosen, by vote of the fac- ulty, on the basis of their achievements in character, scholarship, leadership, and service. Those elected in their junior year become the active members of the organization in their senior year. To quali- fy for election, seniors must rank in the highest third of their class scholastically; jun- iors, in the top 1 5 per cent. Among the group ' s activi- ties this year were the annual Scholarship banquet on April 16 with Donald McGibeny as guest speaker; the impressive induction ceremony on April 8; and participation by Jo- Ann Perring, Keith Stitzel, Byron Hawkins, and Evelynn Trippel, in a round table dis- cussion at an education con- ference of the National Hon- or Societies of the western suburbs.

Composed of two represen- tatives from each club, the council planned all mutual Hi-Y events under the guid- ance of R. A. Bullington the first semester and R. L. Daniels the second, with the cooperation of Otto Dillner, administrative counselor, and Lawrence Aplin, boys ' work secretary of the Oak Park Y.M.C.A. In the fall this group spon- sored the annual Thanksgiv- ing assembly as the first step in unification. On April 14 it presented George Corwin, na- tional executive secretary of Hi-Y, as a speaker to all Pro- viso boys; the same day it col- laborated with the Leyden and Oak Park Hi-Ys in a meeting of executives and ad- visers.

After most chapter business meetings there were programs. Hi-Y secretaries, counselors, community leaders, and col- lege students spoke to mem- bers, who also had discussions on various subjects. Social events were frequent, too. The Oak Park Y offers opportunities for stag or date parties in the pool, bowling alleys, or game room. The year ' s schedule included several sports parties. Most important of the three branches of activity is that of service. Among the year ' s service projects were the Thanksgiving assembly, the Hi-Y Christmas tree, the erec- tion of a bookshelf for Hi-Y literature, and the Hi-Y as- sembly for all boys. All chap- ters cooperated in sending delegates to the Illinois State Older Boys ' Conference, Pro- viso Boys and Girls Confer- ence, National Hi-Y Con- gress, and Hi-Y training camp.

Daniels, ad- mitted almost seventy mem- bers, a larger number than any previous freshman Hi-Y boasted. To help him supervise the activities of such a large group, Mr. Daniels enlisted the aid of Ed Tyre, ' 42, Dick Koeppel, ' 41, and Gordon Smith, ' 40, as junior coun- selors. Initiated into Hi-Y in three formal induction ceremonies, members of the frosh chapter followed an energetic pro- gram for the year. This in- cluded round table discus- sions; visits to the Oak Park Y.M.C.A. for swimming, bowling, gym, and table games; outstanding speakers at the weekly meetings, in- cluding the Illinois and Chi- cago Hi-Y secretaries. In December, soon after the chapter ' s organization, its members elected the follow- ing officers: Don Maiwurm, president ; John Immel, vice- president; Richard Theriault, secretary; Jack Litton, treas- urer; and Richard Koeritz, sergeant-at-arms.

Keeping those words in mind, working hard to beat the new deadline made necessary by the war, and remembering the great care needed in saving materials now under priority, the 1942 Provi staff has been on the job since October with one goal in view — the best annual ever. To accomplish this, the staff willingly sacrificed their free time for long hours in the Provi office, writing furiously, accurately, fastidiously. Every year it is the task of the art department, under the supervision of Miss Wilhelmina Marm, to create appropriate designs throughout the Provi based upon its theme.

Contrary to all reports, Ann and Stu did not boil lazy reporters in oil, or behead them when late stories flooded the office; but they did exercise real executive power. The fact that they managed to untangle themselves from the mass of green, ivhite, and orange galleys long enough to have their pictures taken must not go unmentioned.

Muhllv WORKING TO STIMULATE interest in girls ' ath- letics and to promote health and sportsmanship, the Proviso chapter of the G.A.A. offers a varied after- school program to all girls. Almost any evening, girls can be seen participating in archery, badminton, baseball, deck tennis, bowling, hockey, golf, life saving, shuffle- board, speedball, swimming, table tennis, tap dancing, tennis, tumbling, or volleyball, under the sponsorship of the G.A.A. The officers for the past year have been Gladys Williams, president; Anita LeVine, vice-presi- dent; Edna Wade, secretary; and Donna Dahleen, treas- urer. One of the biggest achievements was the enthusi- asm over the interscholastic competition for the girls of seven suburban high schools last fall. Contests in golf, tennis, and archery were held. G.A.A. girls are equally at home oil the field, on the gym floor, on the tennh court, or in the swimming pool.

Throughout membership the girls work toward awards which are based upon the number of points they have earned. Higher awards are as follows: 600 points, G.A.A. emblem; 1200 points, letter P ; 1600 points, letter I (Illinois); and the 2000-point award of a map. Consisting of the G.A.A. board, managers, and com- mittee chairmen, the leaders ' class meets three times during a week.

Developing technique in wrestling, speed in swim- ming, and skill in life saving; I see the fieldhouse jammed with students Watching basketball games won by Proviso or by opponents. And screaming when the ball bumps through the basket, As sportsmanship guides each cager ' s move.

A LTHOUGH defeated by Oak Park in the final game of the season and dropped to second place in the conference standings, Coach Andy Puplis ' s ram- paging Pirates amassed the enviable record of seven wins, one tie, and but a single defeat in its nine-game, 1941 schedule. With but ten days ' practice under their belts, the Proviso boys Journeyed to Gary, Ind., where they held a strong Emerson team to a scoreless tie. The follow- ing week the Puplismen whipped LaGrange into line, 13-0, and then entrained for Moline where they dealt the Maroons the worst defeat suffered by that team in eight years. The next week-end saw Marinette, Wis., succumb to the Pirate battering, 20-6, as the locals opened their home stand. Then, on successive week-ends, the Blue-and-White banner triumphed over Evanston, 14-0; Morton, 24-7; New Trier, 12-0; and Waukegan, 13-0, before finally meeting defeat at the hands of the Parkers, 7-0, as Oberhelman dribbled to a touchdown, fumbling the ball on the nine yard line, only to have the pigskin bounce right back into his waiting arms as he plowed over for the score. Despite the loss of Bobby Schulz, Proviso ' s chief scoring threat, the Puplis combination tallied 121 points as compared to but 20 for the opposition.

Less than three minutes of the contest had elapsed when Harry Oberhelman, Parker captain, plunged through the Proviso line and con- tinued the remaining 39 yards for the only touchdown of the game. The game marked the ninth con- secutive loss by Proviso in the annual Oak Park-Pirate classic.

Members of the 1941 heavyweight football squad were the guests of honor. Joe Boland, line coach at Purdue university and one of the Seven Mules on the 1924 Notre Dame eleven, was the speaker for the occasion. Mr. Boland, in addi- tion to telling the more than two hundred people in attendance about his own football career, talked about sportsmanship, stating that football ' s greatest asset is that it teaches cooperation. Andy Puplis culminated the high school football careers of many of the boys by presenting the letters. Following this ceremony, Tom Gallagher, acting on behalf of the entire squad, presented a gold trophy to Bob Schulz, who was injured in the first league game at Evanston after he had scored 12 points, the Pirates ' margin of victory. The trophy is inscribed To Cap- tain Bob Schulz from His Teammates. Letters were awarded to the following: Majors: James Aiuppa, Arthur Archer, Rudolph Braglia, Robert Brust, Tom Burnham, Rodgers Burton, Dick Carnright, James Fahey, Billy Fowlkes, Tom Gallagher, Hugh Galstan, Lincoln Heft, Floyd Herzog, LeRoy Jeske, Bill Lloyd, Bill Lussow, Al Maczulaitis, Charles McFarland, Ernest Natke, Bob Remkus, Bob Schulz, Ralph Serpico, Clyde Todd, Ed Tyc, Joe Moreno, Joe Pusateri (Mgr. ) and Kenneth Larsen (Mgr.).

In addition to offering to freshmen and sophomores who are not engaged in other activities an opportunity to participate in athletics, intra-mural sports often un- veil new, undiscovered material.

Grouped into fourteen squads according to counseling periods, the Class of ' 45 began this year ' s intra-mural basketball elimination tournament October 7. With a student manager for each team, the freshmen continued playing each evening until the winner was crowned. After twelve of the squads were knocked out of compe- tition, the Bears and Wolves ended the tournament as winners in their brackets. In the final game of the meet, the Bears won the freshman counseling championship by shelling the Wolves. The week following the freshman cage tournament, the sophomore counseling classes competed in a similar elimination round. This meet, too, was sponsored by Varsity Coach S. O. Storby, who in the process of the tournament uncovered several new prospects. For all sophomore boys interested in athletics, and not engaged in either football or cross-country, the tournament offered excellent opportunity for participation. By de- feating the Reds, 2 5-12, the Browns proved themselves best of the sophomore squads. 183 SWIMMING Top: Coach Hagen. Frasca, Stanley, Wilder, McCarthy, Mac- donald, Seegers, Passarella (Mgr.) .

It was the fifth time in six years that the title has been held by the local mat outfit. Indi- vidual championships were copped by John Wolff, Harold Parsons, and Ernest Natke. Of the three, only Parsons had captured a title the previous year. Throughout the regularly scheduled sea- son, the Proviso lads amassed 421 points, almost four times as many as their op- ponents. On only one occasion was the supremacy of the local lads questioned. This occurred January 1 5 when the Blue-and- White squad invaded Thornton Fractional, barely escaping with a 20-16 victory. 185 1942 TRACK TEAM r; f«. A rt r Top ' .
