AMERICAN EDUCATION WEEK AMERICAN EDUCATION week, observed from November 8 to 14, was officially opened by Proviso ' s marching band between halves of the Proviso-Oak Park football game. 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.
