She presents her heter- ogeneous population, of all nationalities and all beliefs, and proves by her very existence the strength of democracy. She presents teeming cities with variegated skylines, pulsing, humming factories, spectacular amusement halls, so representative of the American scene, church spires quietly drawing the mind of man to thoughts of his Creator. She presents endless miles of glistening rails, stretching across her grasslands, slithering highways, binding her innumerable cities together. The Slav and the Czech, the Pole and the Russ, the Italian, the Dane, the Scot and the Dutch, the Frenchman, the German, the Englishman, Swede, the Irishman, Finn, and the Greek, men from all over the earth, free for the first time in their lives, labor together with men born here of parents born here, and descended of generations born here, and they sing together a song of their life. This free man's rhapsody, the song of America, arose first in the throats of the founders of this nation, and has risen through the years to an ever-swelling crescendo. All these things are worth fighting for. The schools of America draw her children together into a single body, American youth, whose life in a sock- and-sweater world of dates, football games, proms, and studies is filled with dreams of the future without the burdens of the future. The American youth lives a life of springs, each bringing a rebirth of his love, of sum- mers, with the drowsy delight in the sun on his back, of cool enveloping swimming-waters, of work, and of leisure, of living, of trees, grass, and close comradeship with Nature, of autumns with their perennial wonderment at l , p X l l yll l l' -5333?

These things are worth fighting for. And with these thoughts in mind, we have chosen This Is W'orth Fighting For as the theme of the Provi of 1945, for we feel that as we of Provi are part of the youth of America, and as Proviso is one of the schools of America, so our life at Proviso has been one of the immeasurable advantages of American youth. We have worked together as a whole, and we have grown together to reach the threshold of life with the deepest respect for our fellow men, and with unalterable memories of a free youth. In the pages which follow, we have striven to present those things of and about Proviso that are truly Worth Fighting For. They are part of us and it is our sincere wish that they may be part of the generations that are to succeed us as Citizens of Proviso. bedication To the one hundred sixty-six courageous youths of Proviso Whose faith and trust in God and a Nation led them to die in foreign fields, we dedicate this annual. Theirs was the strength of American ideals, unyielding to defeat even in death, they have given themselves without reservation, in the knowledge of the ultimate significance of their dark victory. Their principles transcend all force of arms, their beliefs, their hopes, and their dreams march onward, inspiring the souls of future American generations. 11' 1,-v 1 'ww 11411 rum mm sus xx tum mn , .

THE BUSINESS OFFICE is the center of all of the school purchases. Its small, efiicient staff of three is in charge of the many money matters of Proviso. It is the purchasing agent for the Board of Education, hook store, and over sixty-five of the student organizations. Between their busy hours before and after school, when they sell streetcar tickets and war bonds to students, they have the complicated task of writing checks. Mrs. Hattie Haupt is the president, of the business office, and with her two able assistants, Miss Leona Palka, keeper of the books, and Miss Gertrude Bathje, purchaser, sees that the tax money and student funds are distributed to the proper departments of the school. The Book Room, from which all Proviso students' texts come, has been in the capable hands of Mrs. Emma johnson for more than a year. There are more than 40,000 volumes stored in this room, and it is Mrs. john- son's responsibility to keep accurate records of all of them. Szazzzfizzg' William A. Gee, E. R. Sifert, Louis Ancel.

Page I I .f TK.t .-i M MINISTRATIO THE MAIN OFFICE contains statistical records concerning every student in Proviso, and Welcomes all who seek information or help. C. C. Taggart, assistant superintendent, who makes constant use of records and files, sees to it that the students, during their stay at Proviso, are well prepared for the fu- ture. It is he who has direct charge of the school organizations, seeing to it that students are in their appointed places at appointed times. Miss Mary Carroll, who is registrar and super- Page 12 visor of the office, is in charge of the permanent records of the school, of the evaluation of credits of incoming students, and of the necessary informa- tion used by colleges and employers. These two persons are supported by the all-impor- tant clerical staff of the office, who maintain the accurate and orderly tiles.

Page I7 AMERICA EDUCATIO WEEK UQZEQ I 3 Qjiffi lf We f R ii i E' E T in -Mf .-.f-gg.. l ll 4 AMERICAN EDUCATION WEEK, November 5 to 11, at- tempted to bring the parents of the community into closer asso- ciation with the school and its functions through the theme, Edu- cation for New Tasks. The theme, emphasized by Dr. E. R. Sifert, superintendent, in his letters to parents, was demonstrated to them at open house. There, freshmen opened their homerooms and fifth and sixth periods for their parents to inspect the actual workings of the school. This contact of parents with the school helped to form a basis for harmony in thought throughout the rest of the year. Another function during the week was the Articulation Tea for all seventh- and eighth-grade teachers of the township, and for teachers of high school freshmen. The purpose of the tea, held each year, is to form closer ties between grammar school and high school. Dr. Sifert, at special assemblies, addressed the students on Your Tomorrow. He advised his audience on what to expect of the future and how to prepare for it. Three exhibits, two in the library and one in the lobby display cases, were also included on the agenda of the week. The library exhibits included the annual book week fair and a science and health exhibit showing the relation of mosquitoes to the spread of disease. Numerous souvenirs of World Wfar II, collected from Proviso's student body and faculty, were shown in the display cases. The week's consideration of Education for New Tasks estab- lished more firmly than ever before the necessity for cooperation between school and community, and among elementary schools, high schools, and colleges in preparing to meet the challenges of a rapidly changing world.

YOUI TOMGRROW' WGRLD AGAIN THE LIBRARY broke forth in an arresting array of pamphlets, publications, and posters in its annual celebra- tion of National Book Week. This year, the theme, You in Tomorrow's World, stressed the close relationship between the thoughts and actions of individuals and future world events. The library staff tried to bring to light the important part that books will play in the future with the belief that what is read today will greatly influence post-war plans and developments. Because books vary in style, nature, and number, the theme was further subdivided into two parts, You and Your World, so as to help the student find just what books can be read for a definite purpose. The books suggested for reading with intentions of find- ing out about you and what you can do or be, were un- der the general classes of personality, health, education, humor, homemaking, recreation, arts, vocations, and the military services of the United States. The books suggested with regard to Your World, dealt with customs, arts, literature, history of other lands and peoples, plans for the future, peace and understanding with other nations, futures in engineering, and many other topics of this sort. Every student in Proviso was given an opportunity to view this fair of fun, fundamentals, and fantasy. The junior- senior history classes, the sophomore English classes, and the freshman science and civics classes were scheduled to go to the library during the week. Folders appropriately bedecked with quotations were passed out to the students. These provided a blank space wherein students could jot down the names of books which appealed to them. The books on display were watched over by student monitors who answered questions about the various sections. Because National Book Week again coincided with Amer- ican Education XX'eek, there was an enlightening exhibit of mosquitoes on display in the library. This display, showing the relationship of mosquitoes to the spread of disease, was timely because of the number of returning veterans who will bring back malaria germs and other mosquito-spread di- seases. All this was arranged to emphasize to Proviso boys and girls the importance of all students in the world which they will build tomorrow-Athe importance of You in Tomor- row's W'orld.

If you answer yes to either of the fore- going questions, you should enrol in one of Proviso's speech courses. These courses include dramatics, public speaking, argumentation, and radio speech. Dramatics is the study of the theater, the history of drama, and the principles of act- ing. Part of the course is a play tournament in which all students take part in the production of one-act plays. The argumentation and public speaking courses include the study of parliamentary procedure, the principles of debating, and public discussion. Radio speech is the study of the vocational possibilities of radio, radio production, scripts, and the public Speech finder get logetloer to di.s'm.r.r 14'0rla' ajffairf.

Reid teaches public speaking and radio speech and has charge of the junior Class Play, Miss Cecil Stark, who has charge of the Senior Class Play, teaches dramatics. The speech clinic, which has recently been set up in Proviso under the supervision of the Illinois Department of Handicapped Children, is for the correction of speech defects. C. E. A. Moore, who is in charge of this clinic, has handled several hundred major and minor cases this year. Since poise and clear speech are so necessary, this de- partment, under the direction of M. W. Immel, fills an important need in education. Puffin the jifzger 011 em, 110 dank!! M. W. Immel, Min Reid, C . E. A. Moore, and Milf Smrk dirczfifr Jpeefb de,Im1'f191e17f lflroblemf.

GLI SINCE FACILITY in the use of English is fundamental to effective work in most phases of life in and out of school, the English department, the largest in the school, touches the life of every student in Proviso. Today, especially, intelli- gent citizenship in a democracy requires greater proficiency in reading, writing, speaking, and listening than it has ever before. To provide the student with an understanding of his literary heritage and to aid him in acquiring the skills of communication, the department offers a wide range of sub- jects. Courses in literature increase the students understand- .flliipr Reizliugtz .i111ile.r lfldfjlfllffj al llve L!1:ff1:0lli'II'j' qllL'l'iL'.l' of .1 ferr' .mf2l'w1110fc'.f. .S'mmfi11g.'

Creative and newswriting courses give training of value for work on publications, secretarial English emphasizes the skills of writing necessary in the business world. Classroom libraries of books for study and leisure read- ing, current magazines, and dictionaries broaden the scope of knowedge in all classes. Through the use of the radio. phonograph, motion picture, and newspapers, the classroom becomes a laboratory, not only for speech and composition, but also for an interpretation of personal and social prob- lems of today. Page 25 Page 26 LATI LATIN has been called the basic lan- guage of all time. A rather startling fact is that approximately 60 per cent of the English language is of direct or indirect Latin derivation. The Romance languages, French, Spanish, Italian, Portuguese, and Romanian, are derived almost entirely from Latin, receiving the name Romance from that of the city, Rome. A knowledge of Latin, however, con- sists of more than learning the uses and meanings of words, it also includes a study of ancient Rome and of Caesars cam- paigns. The lives and works of Virgil and Cicero are the advanced courses, offered whenever a sufficient demand is indicated by enrolment. Latin is of great importance to those who wish to enter medicine, theology, sci- ence, or a specialized study of Roman his- tory. For some courses in institutions of higher learning, it is the only accepted lan- guage. Many Proviso students who take Latin in their freshman and sophomore years and then branch out into modern languages find their Latin background a definite asset. Outstanding features of the Latin classes are student projects, usually replicas of buildings and other features of ancient Rome, or reports on interesting people and events of Roman times. Top.

MODER LA GUAGE THE LINGUISTIC INTERESTS of the world are tending more and more toward modern languagesg French, German, Italian, and Spanish are drawing increas- ingly higher enrolments as people real- ize the future importance of modern languages. Keeping in step with the advance- ments currently being made in these lan- guages, Proviso's modern language fac- ulty has introduced new methods of teaching and new subject material into the coursesg War French and War Span' ish are two of these innovations. The trends in these languages are definitely toward practical usage. Some of the highlights of the modern language classes are the studies of the customs, histories, and numerous festivi- ties of the countries whose languages are taught. The study of these features of other countries arises from the theory that, to understand a language, one must understand its people. Advanced classes in these languages are arranged when- ever there is suthcient student demand for them. Thus the modern language department of Proviso strives to prepare its students for better understanding of foreign coun- tries. A'li.i1r Ii. lylfflidllli and Mir!

THE MYSTERIES of the principles of the past, the problems of the present, and the forecast of the future are unfolded in the social science departments many classes. This department is headed by E. W. Stubbs who, with the assistance of eight instructors, presents and interprets the many courses offered. It is the object of the Central and South American, Far Eastern, and modern European history classes to show the development of these areas in relation to the United States. Either college preparatory or United States history, which are designed to give an understanding of America's own back- ground, is compulsory for all seniors. In addition to these courses, students may study world history, sociology, political science, modern life, Civics, and current history. Psychology, a one-semester course which is open to all juniors and seniors, was offered for the first time this year. Its purpose is to give students a broader appreciation of some of the areas of human living and a better understanding of how and why human beings behave as they do. Top Riglafx M. M. Finrlad and E.

Its importance today is even greater. Art enriches other courses as well as general reading. Interesting hob- bies and many specialized types of work may be developed in art. One of the busiest departments in school is the art department. Students and faculty sponsors seek its aid for class plays. band and orchestra concerts, publicity work, publications, conferences, and numerous other activities. The preparation of students to undertake the continuous demands for art skills in many projects throughout the entire year is given in the following courses: art I, stagecraft, and commerial art. Under the capable and inspiring guidance of Miss Wihelmina Marm and Miss Marion Dodderer, the various undertakings progress rapidly. The fundamental prin- ciples of design and composition, knowledge of color and how to create harmonies, and appreciation and understanding of great works of art in many helds are a few of the units studied which help the students to master skills and techniques, and to develop creative ability. A Practicing these skills and abilities, the art classes up in the north end of the building are busily at work all hours of the day adding to their growing and varied list of activities. To the student and visitor the studios present a striking array of diversihed projects which give proof of the great range of interests covered by the courses. .. Sqv.

PENICILLIN, sulfa drugs, and other headline improvements have been discovered by scientists, many of whom received their start in high school laboratories. Today in our high school labora- tories, student scientists are at work 3 tomorrow some of their names will be well known because of the great discoveries they will make. The student's first introduction to science is through a general course which touches briefly on all phases of high school science. His alternative is a health science course. Then from the knowl- edge that he has acquired in freshman science, he may take up either natural science, physical science, or both. Two years ago, for the benefit of those students who would be going into the armed forces, the department added war courses in radio and aviation to its list of subjects. These will be retained after the war as regular subjects. Under the able guidance of the departments staff of fourteen teachers, more than half of the school learns the fundamental sciences. One of the teachers has a doctor's degree, twelve have masterls degrees, and one has a bachelors degree. CAN YOU TAKE the square root of a negative number? Can you divide by zero or multiply by infinity? Can you prove that 2 equals 1? You can? Then you're pretty good, but you've evi- dently never had much mathematics at Proviso. For if you had, you would surely be able to pick out the fallacies in the foregoing. Little tricks like these, however, are merely interesting side- lights in the study of mathematics. Math is a language in itself, and he who speaks it fluently can get along very well in this age of machines. lt is basic in all industries: steel, automobile, radio, etc., and also has its fundamental connections with insurance, taxes, and the buying and selling of all commercial products. Proviso's mathematics department, which is headed by Miss Martha Hildebrandt, has a staff of eleven teachers.

Typing and shorthand are but two of the many skills which Proviso students develop in the commercial classes. The office practice classes give the students practical experience and an opportunity to meet and overcome the many problems they will encounter when they enter the business world. Teaching business aspirants to carry out each task to its successful completion is a major endeavor. The vast number and variety of machines in the business office of today calls for a versatile office worker. Thus, the office practice classes are divided into four sections: calculating machines, projects, files, and dictaphones. Every student spends nine weeks on each of these. This gives him a working knowledge of as many different oHice skills as possible. One day each week is spent developing speed in taking and transcribing short- hand, and another day is spent developing speed in typing. The equipment is as varied as the skills taught. Besides shorthand and filing, experience in operating ditto, mimeograph. calculating, dictaphone, ediphone, and typewriting ma- chines is given to students, affording them a chance to work cooperatively with others. The increased demand for capable and efficient office workers has opened up a large Held for ambitious students. Page 32 The present war has put the spotlight on the commer- cial department. The function of this department is giving students specific vocational training for the business world. E. W. Brooks, head of the commercial department. with the assistance of eight teachers, supervises the work. One of the important projects carried out by this depart- ment during the past three years has been an after school course in retail sales. This course, open to all juniors and Seniors, prepares students for positions as sales clerks during the Christmas holidays and after school. Since so many people have gone into war work, and consecjuently a need for student part-time help has arisen, the commercial de- partment has contributed toward national defense. The variety of subjects giving the students an advance knowledge of the business world includes bookkeeping. advertising, calculating, retail sales. commercial geography. economics. and general business.

The cheerful sewing rooms are the scene of much activity in preparation for the annual style show. Under the watch- ful eyes of the instructors, aprons, blouses, and simple dresses are made during the first year of clothing. In their second year, the girls spend most of their time in making a more complicated dress and a suit or coat, also, the girls are taught better buymanship throughout the two years. The aromas originating in the foods rooms testify to the delicious foods being cooked. The girls in first year foods learn the fundamentals of menu planning and cooking. This year, the second-year girls are getting actual experience by preparing food for meals to be served in the new, cheerful dining room.

Given a couple of tin cans, a motor, and a few other odds and ends, he has made washing machines, showers, and other devices. He has obtained some of his mechanical knowledge from tinkering about, but the majority has come from the vari- ous courses he took in high school manual arts. During a fellow's freshman year at Proviso, general shop is offered. This introduces him to electricity, drawing, print- ing, auto mechanics, metal working, and wood working. Each of these phases of the course lasts for a period of six weeks, thus enabling him to accumulate some real knowledge on which to base his choice for his next three years of more advanced work.

The student can follow any of three courses: industrial arts, vocational, or a mixture of the two. The industrial arts course is more or less a general education, designed to develop hobbies, to supplement regular education, and to help choose a vocation in the manual arts field. The depart- ment has four shops: wood working, printing, electric, and machine. In each shop he can take two consecutive one-year courses for a period of one hour a day. All vocational courses :have prerequisites from the industrial arts field. The ma- chine shops, the auto shop, and the printing shop have three- hour vocational courses. ln these shops a student works under conditions similar to those which he would find in industry. At the end of his course in any of the vocational shops, he has enough knowledge of the work to be employed in an industrial concern. With the broad background acquired from the wide selection of subjects available at Proviso, he is fitted for work in the industrial world or for unexpected need for knowledge of manual arts.

Page 36 PHYSICA EDUCATIO GIRLS THE S0-CALLED weaker sex in Proviso is indeed for- tunate in being able to participate in a well-planned physical education program. The girls can develop various skills in excellent gyms, an inviting pool, spacious helds, and sunny tennis courts. During their stay at Proviso, they receive in- struction in almost every sport that can possibly add to their becoming the typical indoor or outdoor American girl. This year's schedule has been filled with many interesting endeavors. ln the fall, freshman girls struggled to gain goals in speed ballg sophomores carried on the good old Yankee tradition of softballg junior girls were engrossed with nets and lets in tennis courtsg senior girls learned the various golf techniques: and restricted groups vied with Cupid to score a mark with bows and arrows. As old man winter began his cool friendship with Pro- visoites, freshman girls busied themselves in learning the tricks of the tradeggraceful posture for everyday useg sophomores perfected their skills in swimg juniors learned the art of country dance: seniors developed organic vigor through conditioning exercisesg and restricted classes cor- rected llat feet and crooked backs. As the new semester began, the freshmen learned the fundamentals of swimg sophomores were taught the graces of social danceg juniors projected balls toward basketsg and seniors enjoyed their former association with volley balls. As spring arrived, freshmen floated and even propelled themselves through the waterg sophomores learned the tech- niques and plays of volley ballg juniors had been initiated into modern danceg and seniors lobbed shuttlecocks over badminton nets. Thus, Proviso's girls have an opportunity to grow strong, graceful, skilled, and learned in all activities that make for health, beauty, and grace. Top. Mitt lizlzfj helpr a zrouhlen' golfer.

What a rackelf' Page 37 PHYSICAL EDUCATIO BOYS RESPONDING TO military othcials' reports on the extreme importance of strong, well-coordinated bodies, the Proviso physical education department has put a major emphasis on physical conditioning and muscular skills in its four-year plan for all high school boys. Under the direction of L. W. Remley, the department now operates on an expanded war-time schedule which pro- vides senior boys with five periods of gym a week. Under- classmen continue on the traditional two-period basis. The live-day week senior program is distinctly designed to prepare the boys for future military training. Along with such normal peace-time sports as touch football, volleyball, and softball, the seniors concentrate on body conditioning, military track, military wrestling, warfare aquatics, and Red Cross first aid. Working his way through an obstacle course eqaul to that of most military establishments, running long distance endurance requirements, and performing varied physical exercises have become a major part of every senior's daily routine. Body building has likewise been worked into the under- classmen's programs to Ht into a carefully planned series of activities which help develop quick-thinking minds, sports- manlike personalities, and proper social attitudes. Freshmen are introduced to basketball, wrestling, swimming, and track. Sophomores receive advanced swimming and wrestling as well as social dancing, tennis, and softball. junior boys en- gage in touch football, volleyball, folk dancing, and softball. Special restrictive gym and health classes are formed to provide lighter training for those unable to participate in the regular program. See? fmt like Tarzan, only 170 freer.

PROVISCYS EVENING SCHOOL, having completed its third year, has become one ol the established features of the community. lt is one of the many instances in which Proviso shows its readiness to cooperate with the local community by providing educational opportunities tor adults in general education classes, in specialized classes, in hobby classes. and in fine arts classes. The two terms ol' last year showed a great expansion of the undertaking since its beginning. The numerous classes of this last year included such courses as beginning and advanced sevvingg millineryg dress designingg interior decoratingg physical conditioningg svximmingg recreational IGHT CHOOL sports for womeng calculating machinesg beginning, inter- mediate, and advanced stenography and typewritingg artg machine shopg xvoodworkingg English writingg psychologyg psychiatryg beginning and advanced Spanishg beginning and advanced speechg bookkeepingg business Englishg foodsg and photography. The school has been in operation two evenings a week, on Monday and Thursday nights. It commenced in january, 1945. with seven classes in tour courses and with an en- rolment ol' 130. 'lille enrolment has expanded along with the curriculum. The last year showed 99 persons registered, a considerable increase over a three-year period. The courses which have been added each session since its beginning were put in the program of studies to meet the demands ol' the local community. Sometimes groups of persons in Proviso Township have asked that there be in- cluded certain subjects which are pertinent to the desires and needs ot' that particular group. At other times, indi- viduals have shown a growing enthusiasm for subjects which eventually became popular enough to be included in the program ol' studies. Since some courses require teachers of specialized skill ordinarily not found in high school faculties, the evening school provides such instructors from outside the high school. For this reason the evening school has a mixed group of teachers for its faculty, taking well-qualified people from many places to meet its needs.

THE CAFETERIA, Proviso's meeting place for friends, fellowship, and food is one of the busiest spots in the building. Amid the clatter of dishes and other usual cafeteria sounds, many secrets are confided, and many algebra and geometry problems are solved over the green-topped tables familiar to all Provisoites. The students may bring their own lunches, supplement them from the cafeteria, buy sandwiches, or buy a complete victory lunch especially prepared with a view to vitamins and calories. These foods are cooked in the kitchen and served by a host of women who greet the students each day during the four lunch periods. L, Folan is the main man in this well-organized place where hungry humans meet to eat. Adorned with posters urging good eating habits, boards at each end of the cafeteria lend their bit to the education of Provisoites. UULKO LIGHTS! CAMERA! ACTION! The spotlight goes on and the actors begin, but it is the man behind the spotlight that we are interested in: the man who moves the scenery and lights the stage. Yes, it is the maintenance men of whom we speak. They are the ones who do the million- and-one odd tasks which must be done if the daily perform- ances on stagel' at Proviso are to go on. R. C. Quandt, superintendent of buildings and grounds, with the help of the efiicient maintenance staff, keeps the clocks ticking, the wheels turning, the fire burning, and the water running. Not only does this staH work during school hours, but after all the students and teachers have gone home, they clean up and prepare the building for the next day's business. Also. some of them must be present on Sundays whenever a concert or other school activity is taking place. To them go our thanks for the beautiful, tlean, and shining school that is Proviso.

MITCHELL P.T.H.S.,1918-1944 MISS MITCHELL was a friend whose gentle, quiet influ- ence and deep love of beauty made life richer for all those who were fortunate enough to know her well. Her love of the outdoors led her often to the woods, and it was there that she was radiant and released. To be her companion then was to see more of nature's loveliness through her trained eyes and sensitive mind. Her profound knowledge of nature poetry was quite inde- pendent of books, for her mind was richly stored with lines which came naturally to her lips when she was moved by some aspect of beauty. Her knowledge of literature extended beyond that in the English languageg she read and quoted freely from the original Latin and Greek. Miss Mitchell had a rare gift for friendship, and a deep appreciation of lineness in people. She lived on a high plane of sweet sincerity as elevated as the mountains she loved. -FLORENCE H.

This unusual production brought many thrills to a delighted audience. The setting of the story is Duke Lambert's elaborate castle in Italy. Death announces to the Duke that he will visit his estate for three days in the person of Prince Sirki. Death's holiday among mortals, taken to discover how they live, produces intense and interesting drama. This deluxe presentation was made possible through the efforts of teachers and students alike. Miss Wfilhelmina Marm supervised the construction of the decorative scenery, while Miss Charlotte Jackson and Miss Fae Duvall gathered together the needed cos- tumes. Miss Margaret Phelan scoured the surrounding territory for properties, and Miss Willa jean Gray furnished colorful pub- licity. Miss Ruth Neal planned an entertaining program and O. A.

Included in the social agenda of the class were a fall party, the Foot Ball, a boy-date-girl party, the Holiday Hop, the ,junior-Senior Mixer, when the girls dated boys, and the annual junior-Senior Prom, held in May. All these festive events proved to be very successful. In a junior assembly on March 7, during period, Alice and Harold Allen of station WLS presented Sounds of the Air.

Members are selected on the basis of achievements in character, scholarship, leadership, and SCIVICC. This group sponsors the N.H.S. College Catalog Library and an annual scholarship banquet. The Society's library, which is under supervision of an N.H.S. member each period of the day, contains pamphlets and catalogs from many colleges. The scholar- ship banquet is attended by Society members, the faculty, and all students who attained the honor roll or honorable mention at least once during the year. Every year the Honor Society gives a very impressive installation ceremony. At this service, after Superintendent E. R. Sifert delivers a message to the group, six girls who represent the out- standing membership characteristics of N.H.S. inform the newly elected mem- bers of the importance of holding high the torch of honor. In completing the ceremony, the old members pass on to the new ones their candlelights of honor. ,po The officers for the year 1944-1945 were Konrad Rother, president, julie Alford, vice-president, Keith Chulock, Page 1 02 treasurer, and Natalie Dupuis, secre- tary. The faculty sponsor of the group is Miss Ellendore Lampton. OFFICERS Standing: Chulock, Miss Lampton. Seated: Dupuis, Rother, Alford.

GIRLS' LEAGUE PROMOTING healthful, intellectual, social, and spiritual guidance for all girls of Proviso is the aim of the Girls' League. This achievement is emphasized at the organiza- tion's installation ceremony held each May. The ceremony, religious in nature, symbolizes four varieties of flowers: the daisy, the pansy, the rose, and the lily, each representing a special characteristic of. a typical girl. The League performed its many and varied activities this year under the leadership of Connie Oxley, president, june Demmin, first vice-president, Margarite Eckhardt, second vice-president, Bettye Dobson, treasurer, and Dorothy Mons, secretary. The organization sponsors many service projects for the school and the surrounding communities. The main under- taking is the annual giving of dolls and scrapbooks to chil- dren at the Cook County Hospital. Each homeroom pur- chases one or more dolls, and supplies the doll with a ward- robe. The dolls are displayed at the annual Christmas Tea, and then are taken, with the scrapbooks, to the hospital and distributed to the children. Another annual project of the League is the visit to the Baptist Old People's Home, where talented girlsientertain the old folks with musical selections for an afternoon. In addition, the League gives a yearly party for the younger children of the Baptist Children's Home. Games, refresh- Page 104 Stfmdifzgf Karlen, L. Nelson, Bloom, Tighe. Pease. Cusimano. Taggart. Seated: Mons, Demmin, N. Nelson, Dobson, Oxley, Cargill, Eckhardt, Lynch, Vahrenwald, Connolly. ments, and a visit from Santa Claus present an enjoyable afternoon for all the youngsters. Taking the spotlight as the Big Three of the unique, elite projects of the Girls' League were the Chili Bean dinner, the fall picnic, and the inspiring Easter assembly. Also for the first time in Proviso's history, the Girls' League was hostess to the Girls' Conference of Illinois suburban schools on April 28. Connie Oxley presided as president of the conference. Holding its own as one of the traditional, well-loved observances of the League is the annual bow week, which, besides identifying the classes, hlls up the yawning cavity of the treasury. Cookies for the Rookies is a monthly project sponsored by this organization. Each month one of the four classes donates goodies to the various service centers for G.I. joes and G.I. Janes. The Girls' League offers many opportunities for the girls of Proviso to further their social development. Perhaps the most distinctive feature is the bi-weekly teas and chocolate chats. The gracious ladies swing out in their Sunday best for the teas, but the choc-chats remain strictly informal with the girls dressed in sweaters and saddles. Special programs are presented at the teas, while the chat-ers entertain them- selves with group singing. SENIOR GUARD MEMBERS : limi wzlx' Jakoulveli. Vahrcnwalpl, Arburn, Nelson, Hodgskiss, Glerum.

REALIZING that the young people of today are the leaders of tomorrow, the Proviso Youth Fellowship presented as its theme for the sixth annual Boys' and Girls' Conference Youth and the New World. This theme, developed throughout the three-day confer- ence, was first presented at the opening session on Friday night and drew forth opinions and questions at the general session on Saturday morning, when five students presented their views on the subject, 'lWhat Does Youth Want in the New World? Highlighting the conference was the Saturday evening banquet when boys and girls, dressed in their Sunday-go-to- meeting clothes, laughed and sang and then, with the typi- cal manner of youth, seriously listened to and accepted the Challenges of the New World.

Irving Tallmadge CONDUCTOR Page 1 12 CGNCERT B EXECUTING INTRICATE MANEUVERS on the football field, giving concerts that inspire, and sending recordings of its playing to spread music all over the world are a few of the many activities which the Proviso Band, under the direction of j. Irving Tallmadge, has engaged in during the past year. The blue-and-white uniforms, symbolic of band membership, have been grouped together for two outstanding performances during this time. The February concert displayed not only the combined talents of the entire band, but also the unique stage settings of the art department, which helped bring to life Wagner's Lohen- grinf' The Easter concert, another masterpiece in the history of Proviso Band music, featured for the sixth consecutive year the inspiring Parsifal, which has become a part of the traditional music of Easter. A special project of the band has been the making of recordings for the govern- ment of such music as For Freedom and The Inflammatusf' The recordings have been sent to all allied nations and broadcast for the purpose of proving to the world that American youth recognize and appreciate the value of good music. Wholehezirtedly backing the band in all its activities is the Band Parents' Asso- ciation, headed by Mr. Fabry, president, Mr. Beer, vice-president, Mrs. Rickard, secretary, Mr. Fippinger, treasurer, and Mr. Bullard, Mrs. Hill, Mrs. Morse, Mrs. Radke, and Mr. Thorson, directors. 4'LAR1y1g'1' .Xt't'OMP.XNlS'l'S BAND PERSQNNEL I I.I'TIi-I'II'I'UI.O 'VICNUR S.XXOI'IIONE I'ICRI'I'SSlUNS Iirrtuer.

Bringing pleasure to music lovers of the township, the orchestra presented one of its enjoyable concerts on March 4. Such classics as the Symphony No. 40 in G Minor, Allegro Molto by Mozart and the Barber of Seville by Rossini were included in its repertoire. Contrasting with the classical atmosphere created by the previous numbers was the presentation of Morton Gould's modern, fascinat- ing Hillbilly from Suite Americana fMood Sketchesjf' One of the high- lights of the program was the presentation of Marchelli's Ode to a Hero, a tribute to General john j. Pershing. The orchestra also presented a spring con- cert on April I5 in cooperation with the choir. Playing at school functions, such as the December P.-T.A. meeting and the evening performances of the junior and senior class plays, comprised some of their other numerous activities. A record of 120 appearances per year is ample proof that the orchestra ensem- bles have become popular with many gathering in the school and in the com- munity. These groups perform at social gatherings, grammar school P.-T.A. meetings, banquets, and grade school programs. On April 21, the orchestra attended a district music contest where solos and small ensembles of standard instrumentation, including piano and harp, were presented. Page 114 PROGRAM Overture.

CAMERA! Another production of the Proviso Players gets under way. The members of the Players, about fifty-three strong, make up this junior-senior dramatic club. Membership in this group is open to any students who wishes to try out for it at the beginning of the school year. This organization meets every two weeks, at which times a business meeting is held and several short plays are pre- sented. At the close of these plays, in which the settings, costuming, directing, and acting is all done by the students, Miss Cecil Stark, the faculty sponsor, offers criticism of the entire project. In this way, the members gain valuable ex- TN era tiff perience not only in acting, but also in the mechanics of play production. The true aim of the Proviso Players is to trans- form stage-shy amateurs into polished, suave actors and actresses. A big event of the year was a spring formal which the group held in the social room on April 20. This was the first time an affair of this kind had been given by this or- ganization and the students worked hard to make it a success. The actors are headed by these ofI'icers: Charles Moertel, president, Jeanne Irwin, vice-presidnt, Dorothy jean, secre- taryg and Richard Skultin, treasurer. jerry McG01mgill, an ex-Proiiro Player, zellr zhe clzzh of his experiencer with the Goozlmfm Theatre of Chicago.

P GEA MEETING DEADLINES, editing copy, and reading galleys are all a part of the weekly routine down in Room 311, where Proviso's journalistically minded students produce the school paper, the Pageant. The Pageant serves three purposes: it fosters school spirit, records important events, and affords publicity for the school. Composing the stafif of this four-page publication are students who have shown marked journalistic abil- ity in the news writing classes. Heading the staff of energetic reporters and efficient copy-editors are Shirley Griffith, editor-in-chief, and Dick Castor, managing editor. Miss Florence I. Otis, supervisor, sees to it that all things run smoothly down in Room 34. Watching over the clerical staff with an eagle eye is Nancy Cosby who sees to it that the typists are kept at work. R. T. Stickler supervises the business end of the Pageantg Norman Pilch manages the circulation, and Dayre Bayles, the advertising.

N 3 ROVI COOPERATION and a sincere deter- mination to surmount the obstacles of time and priorities were the underlying factors that brought to completion the Proviso Provi. The realization that a book of memories worth fighting for was the one thing that the Class of '45 wanted - made the staff willingly sacrifice free time A' to spend long hours in the Provi office, furiously writing. rewriting, and editing, in an effort to complete its work before W the early deadline. Anne Olach and Dick Theriault, chosen editor-in-chief and managing editor early in December, took their positions as heads of the Provi staff immediately. with A. E. 'Iudd overseering. After careful con- sideration as to their individual abilities, assistant editors were chosen to help assimilate in book form the pageant of Proviso. Working just as conscientiously at the job was the busi- ness staff, headed by Konrad Rother and supervised by R. A. Bullington.

Page 120 LIBR RY THE PROVISO LIBRARY PAGES form one of the most important service groups in the school. These students file cards, process new books, take care of the magazines, shelve books, and distrib- ute library slips to the study halls. In addition to these tasks, the pages must carry the responsibility of setting a stand- ard of conduct in a dignified institution, This year some thirty pages were needed to handle the great number of groups and individuals who used the library. If in the future these students should do further library work, they will have had the excellent opportunity of working under the personal supervision of Proviso's library staff. The staff in- cludes Miss Dorothea Western, head li- brarian, Miss Maxine Vincent and Miss Margaret Williams, assistants, and Miss Virginia DeWolf, secretary. Many teachers take advantage of the opportunity to bring whole classes to the library where the many reference books can be used by all. The main project of the year, a color- ful Book Fair, was exhibited in the li- brary as an observance of National Book Wfeek, November 6-10. The theme, You ln Tomorrow's World,', was em- phasized by the variety of the books that were displayed, with subjects ranging from etiquette to discussions on world affairs. To let every student see the display, freshman science and civics classes, sophomore and junior English classes, and senior history classes spent half of one period during the week in the library. Student hosts and hostesses pre- sided at the tables during exhibit week. The faculty committee which made this book week project possible included Miss Margaret Williams, Miss Eleanor Lonek, and Miss Wilma Hofert. This group was assisted by the Misses Grace Trigg, Dorothea Western, and Win- nafred Shepard. PROVIDING A COMMON GROUND on which parents and teachers may meet and talk together for the welfare of the individual student is the function of the Parent-Teachers' Association, whose aim is a better student-teacher relationship. The meetings of this organization, which occur the Thursday follow- ing each issuing of report cards, are immediately preceded by parent- teacher conferences. The meeting itself consists of committee reports followed by a program. Very often a speaker is provided to talk on a subject of current interest. Student participation in programs draws the largest attendance for these meetings. Giuded by Elmer F. Pllug, president, Mrs. C. I.. Oxley, vice-president and membership chairmang Mrs. Frank R. McGirk, secretary, Miss Willa Jean Gray, general treasurerg and R. E. Poplett, treasurer of the student fund, the Parent-Teachers' Association has again, as in years before, performed a school service worthy of note.

I Page 121 SAFETY GRQUPS THE SAFETY COMMITTEE, which has been a part of the Student Council since 19-11, has branched out this year into a semi-independent organization known as the Safety Council. The immediate reduction of accidents in the school, in the home and on the streets, and the developing of safety attitudes have been the aims of this group. It has made Proviso safety-conscious by the use of slogans and safety bulletins. With the sudden increase in activity caused by Proviso's participation in the war effort, the Safety Council has as- sumed a new and increasingly important position. Each homeroom has a safety warden whose many duties include the following: cooperating to the fullest extent with the Senior Safety WdTll671J,' Buck row: Kapel, Beck, Maiwurm, Mc- Carthy, Fiene, Trauba.

The council has made a survey of all hazardous places in and around Proviso, has attempted to correct the conditions wherever possible, and has acquainted the stu- dents and general public with the safety measures already in use in the different departments. William Hawkins acted as the safety commissioner and C. E. Bryan as faculty sponsor. The investigation and pub- licity committees have been formed as divisions of the Safety Council. Prevention of accidents has been especially accentuated in the industrial arts classes, home economics classes, cafe- teria, and at basketball games. Preparedness for any possible accident combined with intelligent thinking on the part of the student body can be the means of preventing numerous accidents. junior Wa1'de11.r.'

This year the F. I. O. chapter, Linder the sponsorship of Miss Florence I. Otis, has had the reading and analysis of Sumner Welles' Time for Deci- .rimz as its main project. Original contributions by mem- bers were also on the program. Qualifications for mem- bership are previous training in a newswriting class, demonstrated excellence in writing ability, and a scholar- ship rating that is in the highest third of the class. Officers this year were Dick Castor, president, Charlotte Laraia, vice-president, and Anne Olach, secretary. STEPPING INTO THE LIMELIGHT as one of the newer clubs of Proviso, the Chess Club offers oppor- tunities for students to learn and improve the tactics of chess. Affording wholesome recreation, this club was organized by students who enjoy the intricacies presented by chess. F. W. Baer is faculty sponsor. Previously the Chess Club participated in tournaments with neighboring schools, but this year the contests have been limited to one with Morton High School as the opponent. However, these chess-minded students or- ganize tournaments within the club itself. Presiding over the club as officers were the following: Richard Skultin, president, Richard Loewe, vice-presi- dent, and Robert Marsden, secretary. CHESS CLUB SftllldiIl,Q.'

Otis, gives aspiring writers the opportunity to present their original compositions before a critical jury of fellow members. Meeting on alternate Mondays, the group, while not yet in the Who's Who in Ameri- can Literaturef' has contributed much of the material appearing on the magazine page of the Pageant. For the past ten years, Parnassus has flourished as a haven for literatureflovers who have learned not only to write but also to appreciate the beauty of words, Oilicers this year were Gilbert Schubert, presidentg Betty Kemp, vice- presidentg and joyce jones, secretary. ANY JUNIOR OR SENIOR BOY who is interested in movie machines is eligible to membership in the Cine Club. This group is responsible for operating the pro- jectors which show hlms in connection with classroom discussions, and for making provisions for the movie service needed in the visual education program. The organization is almost exclusively a service club, laying little emphasis on social affairs. An activity sponsored by the club this year was an after-school movie entitled Keep 'em Flying. This movie was shown in the auditorium on February 22. The otlicers for the year were Edward Goodrich, joe Valenta, and Neal Goldstein, who performed their duties as president, vicefpresident, and secretary respectively. Informing the boys of all they do not already l-:now about films and projectors is the club sponsor, C, W. Bills, of the science department. CINE CLUB PROVISO USHERS is one of those indispensable organizations around Proviso. The members of this service group become well acquainted with the school auditorium, so that at any time there is need, they are willing to show spectators to their seats. Some such occasions include all P.-T.A. meetings, choral concerts, and plays. Any sophomore, junior, or senior who receives commendation from five teachers is eligible for membership. The officers for the year were as follows: Marilyn Kelley, president, Lois Hedin and Lois Skedd, vice-presidents, Doris Jones, secretary, Dorothy Mennecke, treasurer, Dolores Heisler, social chairman, and Joyce Jones, publicity writer. Faculty sponsors were W. Bennett and Miss Genevieve Krebs. PATRIOTIC ASSEMBLY. . . . AMERICA, the pride of the past, the courage for the present, the hope for the future . .

The l-II-Y, an international movement and one of the most widely recognized organizations for high school boys in the world, bases its non-sectarian fellowship upon the fourfold creed of Clean Speech, Clean Sports, Clean Scholar- ship, and Clean Living. The five clubs of Proviso are divided into four groups, according to the members' rank in school, and work indi- vidually through their ofhcers, and together under the direc- tion of the Council.

STRIVING TO ACHIEVE the art and skill of sports- women and to promote interest in athletics for all girls are the aims of the Girls' Athletic Association. An after- school program of a variety of sports, under the supervision of gym teachers, provides an incentive for the development of various skills for Proviso girls. This past year, the state G,A.A. changed from an inde- pendent organization to a partnership with other Illinois schools engaged in athletic activities. Now, instead of only intramural participation, there is interscholastic competition in special sports, such as golf, archery, and tennis. Tele- graphic tournaments are carried on in basketball shooting, swim, and bowling. Any girl in Proviso may become a member of the organi- zation when she receives sixteen points by participating in four after-school practices in a single sport of her choice. A girl may remain a member throughout her four years, provided she continues to participate in athletics each year. The amount of participation is added up in points for local and state awards. The awards are as follows: 600 points, G.A.A. emblem, 1200 points, letter P , 1600 points, Page 130 Top right. Stmztiifzg: McEvoy, Lotts, Curry. Seated: Postema, Grainer, Alexander. Bottom right.

The officers of the G.A.A. this year were Vera Robb, president, Helen Curran, first vice-president, Priscilla Toppen, second vice-president, Juanita Rende, secretary, and Mary Apostolopoulos, treasurer. Miss Eva Eddy, chair- man of the girls' physical education department, was the sponsor. The other members of the physical education staff who were in charge of different activities in G.A.A. were Miss Josephine Foster, Miss Mildred George, Miss Edith Jones, and Miss Mary Wheeler. Consisting of the G.A.A. board, managers, and commit- tee chairmen, a leader's class meets once a week. During the class, the girls are taught sports omciating, interpretations of athletic techniques, and knowledge of gym equipment. Also, plans for social events are discussed. Occasions which called for the shedding of green gym suits and tennis shoes for heels and afternoon dresses were the Christmas party and the Installation Tea. More informal were the splash party, the pot-luck supper, and the freshman play-day. Top left. Incipiefzl mermaidf do a bit of praflice on the rudimentf of Jwimming. Top right.

TURE CRAFTSME GF MERICA STRIVING FOR ACHIEVEMENTS in craftsmanship, scholarship, and leadership, and promoting the spirit of craftsmen are the main purposes of the Future Craftsmen of America. In its lirst year at Proviso, this organization is an outgrowth of various craft clubs all over the country. Before the war, annual national and state conventions were held, however, at present, they have been leveled down to state meetings with fewer delegates attending. Because of the outstanding purposes of the club, no student is granted membership unless he has enrolled in an industrial class and has received above average grades. The program of work for the meetings develops the ideals and principles set forth in the motto. School contributions and beautification, such as display cases and staging, lectures and talks by craftsmeng and visits to industries and other schools are a few of the many activities carried out by each chapter. J. H. Carr, industrial arts instructor, is the faculty sponsor. Student officers are as follows: Raymond Carlson, presidentg Richard Seidel, vice-presidentg Ronald Watson, secretary- treasurerg George Polcer, sergeant-at-arms, and Charles Salvatori, reporter.

Symbolic of the split nature of the year's pigskin endeavors was the final, breath-taking 6-6 stalemate with Oak Park. .. l Page 136 Three pig.i'ki1111e1'.i' who pu! in pfeflly of lime 011 the g1'i1fi1'o11 ure. left In fight: Marini, linwlkes, and Beck. Although the Slimmer-Kassell aggregation distinctly played a game superior to that of their traditional Oak Park rivals, the factor of bad luck, so prevalent throughout the season, hindered them from scoring two additional touch- downs which would have placed the game firmly in their hands. The Proviso boys brilliantly opened the season by trounc- ing LaGrange 33-0. The next Friday they moved to their local field to gather a 20-8 victory from Elgin. Meeting the huge Hoosier boys from Central of South Bend proved ill-fated for the Pirates the following week, for by the end of the game they had suffered a half dozen injuries as well as a 20-7 rout. Plagued by the now familiar bad luck, the Slimmermen next found themselves de- feated, li-5, by an inferior Wzltikegan squad. Then, following a 19-7 loss against Morton, the Buc- caneers made a successful comeback a week later by out- playing Evanston, 6-0. Falling 27-12 before the league lead- ers, New Trier, the Bucs gathered their final loss of the season before the deadlocked Oak Park encounter. Page' 137 ig.. A We .aw-t--..... JR.

APPARENTLY lacking sufficient ability and weight to cope with their more experi- enced opponents, the hard-fighting jay-Vee squad suffered a season of four defeats, one tie, and one win. Unable to score a single point until their fifth game, the juniors nevertheless attempted to play each game with all the strength they could possibly muster. It simply was a matter of not enough experienced material for Coaches F. Hatley and O. H. Matte to work with. The first four encounters, during which the junior varsity was not able to make a single touchdown, included three losses and one scoreless tie. They lost to Morton, 20-Og and to Oak Park, 21-0. Then following a O-O deadlock with LaGrange came another loss to Morton, this time 19-0. Scoring their first victory of the season, the Jay-Vees defeated Leyden, 19-6.

EXTREMELY ONE-SIDED SCORES dominated the fresh-soph football season. Alternating during the various games from the winner's position to the scoreless loser's side, the Hagen-Wrobkemen played a fast-paced, hard-fought schedule of seven games which ended with two wins, one tie, and four losses. Opening with a 19-0 loss to LaGrange, the sophs retaliated the following two weeks by overwhelmingly downing Elgin, 29-0, and taking Waukegan, 6-0. Then a powerful Morton squad dealt the varsity curtain raisers a 12-0 loss. The next week-end, after having led Evanston till the final period, the sophomores had to settle for a 7-7 tie. Following a 20-0 defeat before the hands of an expert New Trier team, the Provisoites succumbed to a well-greased Oak Park machine for a final 27-7 loss.

ANXIOUS TO BEGIN their Blue-and-White gridiron careers, one hundred fifty boys answered the call early in September for frosh football candidates. The seventy that finally became a permanent part of Coaches C. E. Bryan, W. Bennett, and V. Rice's yearling squad, highlighted their fundamental training with five inter- school games. Although exhibiting much promise, they failed to gain a single victory, but they did score one tie. Allowing victory to slip through their fingers, the underclassmen opened the season with a slim 20-19 defeat by Morton. A practice game against LaGrange ended in a loss of 14-0. With several new plays added to the Proviso offensive, only a last period Morton pick-up allowed the Ciceromen to gain a 13-13 tie in their second conflict with the Bryanmen. The yearlings closed their season by playing two encounters against a powerful Oak Park aggregation, losing one 20-0 and the other 14-0.

ALTHOUGH FAILING TO FULFILL some of the early season predictions concerning their conference and league potentialities, the 1945 Pirates doggedly battled out of a mid-season slump to complete their schedule with a 550 winning percentage and the fourth place suburban league tier. The Storbymen registered a total of 759 points compared to the 708 gathered by their opponents. The failure of the Bucs to materialize at the regional tournament at York early in March extinguished hopes that they might be planning to pick up where their 1944 counterparts left off a year earlier as sectional finalists. With three returning lettermen, George Cole, Pete Bakas, and Herb Blumen- thal, plus Jack Mayotte, Don Sokolovsky, and Irv Miller, the scoring six of the squad, the Buccaneers played basketball that usually exhibited the marks of good, exciting competition. However, several injuries and illnesses among key players occasionally threw the team into unfavorable positions. George Coles injury at the Clinton tourney kept him from further play and definitely left scars on the team's ability. Digging in with full vigor, the Pirates won their first five games in rapid succession: Downers Grove, 39-35 g Argo, 37-25 g York, 51-295 LaGrange, 35-25, and Maine, 59-32. The victorious pre-league series was brought to a close at Elgin with a 35-43 defeat, the first of the year. Early in December the Cagemen started their Suburban League activities which, after many swaying struggles, eventually landed Proviso in fourth place. They defeated every League team once except Morton. The season's highlight came at the second Waukegan game late in February when the Pirates upset the North Shorers, 36-32, to push them out of lone holdership of the League title.

Despite gathering two more losses than victories, the juniors were able to score 525 points, almost equal to the 524 gathered by their opponents. Twice meeting Morton on the hardwood, the Wrobke- men lost both encounters, scoring 22-52, and 44-47. The two contests with Oak Park brought equally dark results, 16-27 and 26-51 defeats. LaGrange, likewise overrode the locals during its two attempts. The situation, however, changed when the junior varsity faced Maine, Leyden, and Wheaton. The Maine- men bowed twice before a distinctly superior Proviso squad which overpowered them 50-17 and 45-55. Leyden fell 57-50 to the jay-Vees, while Wheaton, in like man- ner, lost 55-52.

Kent's freshbsoph aggregation whirled through a highly spirited season of ten wins in seventeen contests. Playing a schedule almost identical to that of the varsity, the Blue-and-Wfhite curtain-raisers won six of their ten league games to capture third place in the Suburban League. The year's total scores tallied by the sophomores add up to 433: their opponents collected but 578 points. Witlu speedy and accurate Don Blasius assuming the role of chief scorer, the underclassmen evenly paced their season so that it lacked the traditional slumps. Only once during the seventeen-game schedule did they lose two games in succession. In conference competition, the Kentmen defeated New Trier and Watikegan twice, split their two games with Morton and Oak Park, and lost two to first-place Evan- ston. In non-conference play, they beat Argo, York, Elgin, and Dundeeg they lost to Downers Grove, La- Opponents 578 Grange, and Maine. Back 7'0ll'.' janasky, Paul, Seno, Martinson, Gallagher, Sinclair.

After spending the first weeks of the season in inten- sified high school hardwood techniques under the direc- tion of head basketball coach S. O. Storby, the approxi- mately thirty-three-man aggregation played a series of five victories and six losses. Oak Park fell twice before the yearlings, 28-20 and 16-9, proving that it was one of the Rattenburymen's chief sources of wins. By defeating Maine, Morton, and LaGrange the freshmen gathered their other three vic- tories. Ulf?

The Monilaw-runners captured second, tenth, fifteenth, twenty- sixth, and thirtieth places in the annual classic.

CLIMAXING A SEASON of no defeats with a State Championship and sectional title, the celebrated Proviso wrestlers handed in another year's work true to the Blue-and-White tradi- tions of the past decade. With a record-breaking 37 points, the Slim- mermen easily took the state crown at Cham- paign early in March. Jack Marino, Chuck Farina, and Pete Willson furthered the Pirates' victories by capturing three individual wrestling championships. Provisols seventh state title could not have come as much of a shock to any one. Bill Grumley of the Cfvafzzpaigzz Neuxf-Gazelle com- mented, Illinois high school wrestling took up Saturday where it left off two years ago when the last state tournament was conducted, and the outcome was the same-too much Proviso. The week before they traveled to Champaign, the pinboys won seven first places to take first in the ten-school sectional held in the Proviso Field House. Preceding the conference triumphs, Coaches L. F. Slimmer and C. E. Kassel had directed the Proviso matmen through a season of nine wins and one tie. WRE TLI lWe'1'e 1z'011de1'i:1g, f00, fellas. H011' do 3011 get wifzviffed?

Reinforced with boys advancing from the fresh-soph ranks as well as other promising recruits, the Appletonmen presented a picture of ability and confidence as they started practice in mid-March. The junior-dominated pill-pounders of '44 had rallied from an unimpressive league season to race through regional and sectional competition to capture finally the state title with the most decisive scores of state tournament history.

CAPTURING FOURTH PLACE in the Oak Park Indoor Suburban League Meet, the Proviso Cindermen began a season of track com- petition which included weekly dual meets and several tournaments. Coach O. H. Matte's team gathered ten points at the indoor tourney by winning the first two places in broad jumping and third place in the mile event. Melvin Pfeifer and James Glass far out- jumped all other competitors, reaching 21 feet 1244 inches and 21 feet IVZ inches, respectively. The fresh-soph squad, the underclassmen division of the Blue- and-White track outfit, also scored ten points to capture fourth place in the indoor meet. They tallied with a second place in the 50-yard dash, a first in broad jumping, and a third in shot putting. LIFE SAV NG LIFE SAVING Will? mer zwrled, arnzr azz!- rpread. bodier fam.

APPROXIMATELY NINETY BOYS entered the tive-week Red Cross life saving pro- gram offered in the Field I-Iouse pool during March and April by swim coach G. A. Hagen. In addition to teaching methods of rescuing individuals in distress and performing artificial resuscitation, the course also stresses the rules and problems of water safety. After having completed from thirteen to fifteen sessions of instruction, the boys are eligible for either the junior or senior Red Cross life saving certificate. Age and ability determine for which award the contestant is eligible.

Can it be September already? It cer- tainly looks that way, the offspring of last April's robins have developed orange-hued breasts, summer-green lawns have taken on fall's soft brown tinge, and baseball fans are looking forward to an exciting Worldis Series. Ah, well, that means I'll have to get back to work, but quick, no more of this strictly OK summer loafing, without .any worries about getting dust on my chairs. The maintenance men have snapped up my shades and opened all my eyes, and they've just hnished polishing up my desks and waxing my Hoors. Well, whadd'ya know! Here comes Martin, with his jingling bustle of keys, and his little cart following him like a puppy as he slowly shuffles down the corridor, whistling softly under his breath. And the faculty-yep, some new faces, and a great many old ones, Miss Okerlin and Miss Mitchell are noticeably missing. Yessir, I guess there have been a couple of changes in the faculty every year, as long as I've been around. Here they come, the thundering herd, my Citizens. But these can't be all of them, they must be just the Youngest Citizens, starting the year off alone so that they can get to know me a little more personally. Wide-eyed, clutching pencils and theme tablets, searching for their names on the alphabetical lists, and then hunting bewilderedly for their homerooms, they look nothing like the confident seniors they'll be three years from now. And there's one of those ever-present Pageant reporters, doing double duty as a Big Sister and newshound, graciously helping the Youngest Citi- zens, and writing the comedy of Freshman Day at the same time. Soon all my Citizens will return and work will begin in earnest. Pk Pk ik If Pk 'F 96 Pls Within a week, these ambitious studes have transformed drowsy me into a humming metropolis, Pageant has dusted off its type, Student Council plans are well under way, and N.H.S. projects are already formulated. I just heard that the speech department has a new member by the name of Speech Clinic, who will live in the tower room. Yep, he'll do a lot for this community by correcting speech defects in my people. Another addition is the N.Y.A. workshop for industrial arts students. Seems as if Bataan Day burst upon us this year. I declared a holiday in memory of the more than four thousand Provi- soites on the battlefields of the world. The impressive cere- monies had a lasting effect upon my Citizens, past and pres- ent, and my residents have returned with determination to win stamped into their characters. Later that week, admiring eyes viewed teen-age fashions at the first Girls' League tea. Even I blinked and opened my eyes wider as an array of costtunes ranging from those of jean-plaid-clad football fans to those of Huffy, pink- formaled young femmes sparkled before the tea-drinking social set. :K :lf :lf Pk Pls Pk Pk Fl Last week's Girls' League tea-thoughts arenit even mem- ories yet, and here I am, practically bursting with pride be- cause our Pageant has been honored with the Quill and Scroll and George H. Gallup awards for its journalistic endeavors. My Citizens are really striding along. This week, marking Xls in the proper places is keeping their minds occupied. Members of Student Council, Girls' League, and class coun- cils are being democratically elected to carry out the business and social problems of the student body. Preparing for footlights and curtain calls, the junior class has selected a play and cast for their annual production to be presented some time in November. As frosh girls scampered gaily to parties as guests of their Big Sisters, September was being torn off the calendars in all the classrooms. 7VFU7YFUWYUBYYUUTYKWWVUTTTKYYFU' UUTVUU Page 1 58 iii-10' 4 fi 'ul Ih- 1 We Q we QM SL K. hh ,,,,,,., Q 424 if f' .Jil-5224 ' .5222 ' Q, .,fi,M2' Nuff' 'ini ., 2' fm va :ics- M 'Q K 5 , .11 as M1 .. ll Tw .9-Q, GCTOBER WHEN GIRLS START TO SHAKE sweaters and skirts free of moth balls, and fellows start to argue over the merits and demerits of the big ten, even an old codger like me knows it's October and time to start feeding coal to my furnaces. Beginning the month with a red-white-and-blue spirit, my Citizens held their first stamp and bond sale of the school year, and made Uncle Sam's register ring to the tune of 3S1,244.85. They really tried hard that month to fly the Minute Man flag, but couldn't seem to make a go of it. On the agenda, too, that week were the induction cere- monies of the Student Council officers performed at an assembly for my little underlings, the freshmen and sophomores. In order that the Student Council, class councils, and other organized groups could have sufficient' time in which to operate, an X period, held monthly, was originated. Naturally, it was heralded by all: teachers, council officers, and students. During the month an influx of past graduates came to visit me from boot and army camps and even some from overseas duty. The servicemen's booth, with a smiling girl welcoming each uniformed fellow, was one of the first stopping-or? places of my heroes. Never have I been so appreciated by any one as by these former Citizens. After semesters of burning midnight oil and sleepily poring over math and history texts, a few of my Citizens were amply rewarded with medals at a special assembly. Seven sagacious seniors achieved gold-medal distinction, a great many silver and bronze medals were delivered to happy seniors, juniors, and sophomores. So that students don't trip downstairs, and football fans aren't trampled upon after games, a safety council was formed. Homerooms elected safety wardens to set up pre- cautions for pedestrians and drivers. The group functioned successfully throughout the school year. Because the thermometer decided to take a sudden nose dive, the faculty held their annual fall picnic in the Field House instead of at the usual scene, Thatcher's Woods. Nevertheless, the preceptors succeeded in forgetting stu- dents, books, and grades for an evening of swimming, bridge, ping pong, volley ball, and pitching horseshoes. Also caught in this social whirl were the upperclassmen. By hiding the dull, drab girls' upper gym underneath foot- ball paraphernalia of all kinds, they made it a haven for the senior and junior parties. juniors jived at their Foot Ball on Friday evening and seniors capered to juke-box tunes at their Kick-off affair the next evening. For a short time witches and goblins invaded my premises but made a quick exit as November began shoving October away.

Witches, goblins, and all that crowd of Hallowe'en eager-beavers get me down. Give me November any time. I like the way the forest preserves across Washington Boulevard and over by the river have changed colors along about that time. Speakin' of colors, my Junior Barrymores and Bernhardts got together and staged their class play, Spring Green. I certainly laughed at the antics of the cast and at the trou- bles they had with a particular variety of superearthworms. But the drama wasn't the only form of art at hand. My social room was busy with the fine arts, too, a continuous flow of people streamed in and out, viewing the annual local art exhibit. But then the gaiety stopped abruptly, and my Citizens and I mourned the passing of Miss Dora Mitchell, a member of the faculty for twenty-live years. Miss Mitchell has gone, but she will live on within me and in the memories of those who knew her. One night, when I had gone to sleep early, I was awakened by the sound of adult voices. I knew that it wasn't a P.-T.A. night, so I investigated and found my youngest intellectuals showing their parents the secrets of my inner workings. It was Open House, the highlight of American Education Week. Another attraction of American Education Week this year was Book Week with its exhibits in the library. That was the first time any one deliberately brought mosquitos into me-and in November! The DesPlaines River Valley Mosquito Abatement District loaned one of their yellow fever and malaria exhibits, including live mosquitos, to the science department. My aspiring politicians and future voters of America took up the then current national theme, and held a mock election, Thomas E. Dewey defeated Franklin D. Roosevelt by sixty-nine electoral votes. I was pretty active athletically in November, too. The football season closed with a 6-6 tie with Oak Park, and was followed by the beginning of the basketball season. Then there was the true blue Qand whitej cross country team, that came through with second place in my annual invitational meet. My Student Council planned a drive to raise 3500 for Vaughan General Hospital and went over their quota by more than 55100. The money was to be used to buy athletic equipment for the convalescents out there. Bow Week came along, and brought with it green, yellow, red, and blue bows, a color for every class and a class for every day-or a day for every class! Anyway, they got me all mixed up, with the youngest Citizens wearing oldest Citizens' bows, and all sorts of other combinations. While all the other hurlyburly was going on, my music rooms reverberated with practice sessions, a group of my best, the cream of the cream, were rehearsing to represent me at a musicians' meeting and music clinic up at North- western U. And then my youngest group of political-minded Citizens started their campaign for positions as class officers. Finally, we all got a welcome rest at Thanksgiving. That four-day week-end got us all quieted down a bit, and my Citizens were almost as glad to' come back on Monday as I was to have them back. Page 162 18 , g., il-6 'R 0. 1221 ,Q 1 .,E1 ,l,:Q. JL xf, -9JUl,0. DECE BER THE CHRISTMAS MONTH came on wings of music this year. Music filled the corridors, spread to every heart, and then issued from the lips of all present. Pageant announced with large banner headlines, Mu- sicians to Attend Clinic and Choir Takes Spotlight. The band, orchestra, and choir sent representatives to a one-day session of the Illinois Music Educators Association on the Northwestern campus, and all musicians, both young and old, learned interesting and new ideas. At the traditional Christmas concert the choir lifted its voice in swelling strains and told again the simple, inspir- ing story of the lowly Babe. Outside, the heavy snow fell softly, blanketing Maywood with an ermine cloak as if to compensate for the man-created ugliness in other parts of the world. My Citizens hailed Christmas with a multitude of par- ties, and notes bounced from the walls of the girls' upper gym, which had been transformed into a winter wonder- land at a senior party. One of the most outstanding of the holiday festivities was the Senior Guard Formal held one Saturday night when fellows in white shirts and creased trousers danced with fluffy-festive-formaled girls about the holly-decorated social room. My feminine Citizens got a few tips on how to get the most out of Christmas vacation at a Girls' League assembly. The topic discussed was Putting Your Best Foot Forward. Seems to me my girls are tops almost all the time. The Christmas spirit with all its joy and laughter was prevalent this month. Sharing happiness seemed most es- sential, so my Citizens passed it out in large portions. They filled the recipe of Christmas cheer with ingredients of one Christmas party for little visitors from the Baptist Children's Home, mixed it with carols for the residents of the Baptist Old Peoples' Home, added, for flavor, many dolls for the Cook County Hospital, and decorated it with an over the goal design of 55614 for Vaughan General Hospital gym equipment. Official host and special guest out here this month was, of course, my very good friend, Mr. S. Claus. Business flowed along smoothly, as usual, and Pageant told me that Senior Senate had chosen the class rings and made plans for a class photographer for the Provi pictures. That reminds me, I was mighty glad to welcome back P. Provi. He took a vacation for a year and his friend, Memory Book, did a good job in filling his place, however, we were all glad to welcome Provi back. Student Council thought of getting a juke box for my Citizens. Always said S. Council was the modern-minded one around here. Why, he's always coming up with some new idea that my folks have talked him into. Another big successs this month was the large eight-page Christmas Pageant. Featured in it were beautiful stories and thoughts that made one think again of those well- known words, Peace on Earth. Laughter rang out when the secrets of Santa's private mailbag were known. And many a giggle escaped when the unfortunate victims came into sight. Yes, December was a month of music, laughter and fun, and with its close my Citizens waved goodbye to a year of memoirs, and then turned to face, unafraid, the future that would enter with january, 1945. Page 164 ' rv Q 5' lx , '15 9 Q 'Hn Ag 3 29? ,4 YQ! f , W mf, Ax 7eA2 ,:f V , ' 5 2w ? Q? A UARY YES, OLD FATHER TIME has faded out of the picture, and young 1945 has taken his place. Now that the new year is here, I know that my Citizens will make it as profitable as the old, if not more so. Finally, after 18 days of fun and festivity, ambitious studes returned to school life, Beginning the month in a photographic manner, my eldest Citizens posed just a little to the right and smiled while their Provi pictures were being snapped. They certainly looked sophisticated in suit coats and neat pleats. It seems odd to think of their leaving high school and entering the adult world, however, I know theylll be good citizens in that new society, too. A matinee dance was held at the beginning of the month, and my solid Citizens turned out en masse. There was the usual combination of boogie and dreamy music, and even I had a brighter outlook on life when the dance was over. The following week, there was an air of mystery about me. And no wonder! Dr. Franz Polgar's illustrated lecture on the Miracles of the Mind made my Citizens take an active interest in telepathy and hypnotism. By the time the lecture was finished, Dr. Polgar had many ardent enthu- siasts who had previously believed that these so-called psy- chological feats were mere results of trickery. Strictly patriotic was my theme for the next week when fellas and femmes purchased at least fifty cents worth of war stamps in order that they might attend a patriotic assem- bly, The purpose of this assembly was to encourage more students to buy bonds and stamps, thus entitling me to fly the Minute Man flag again. Carl Schrieber and his Blue Heaven band gave out with the smooth and swing that afternoon. Also, the Provi staff enthusiastically started work this month. Room 164 began to hum as it became the haven for roving editors, reporters, and photographers who worked to make this year's annual one of the best ever published. Yep, that certainly proved that my Citizens can work in- telligently and still enjoy every minute of it. In the dramatic department, Death Takes A Holiday wasichosen for the annual senior class play. Room 238 was filled with future academy award winners as they displayed their talents in the many tryouts. Finally, a cast was se- lected and play practice became the dominant thought of every member. Next, the Girls' League started its annual Cookies for the Rookiesn drive. My mouth watered at the sight of tasty chocolate chip cookies, tempting sugar cookies, and many other kinds of tantalizing pastry that were collected in the social room. I can truthfully say that my Citizens aren't forgetful of the G. I. Joes and Janes when they bring such large quantities of homemade goodies. Now, ending the month with a cry of Long may they slave ringing in my ears, Provisoites were faced with the inevitable-final exams. Groans of, l'Why didn't I study those geometry theorems? and Why didn't I read those Civil War chapters? were echoed in some form or other by most of the studes. Dust was blown from chem books and English texts as my Citizens realized the need for cram- ming. But as all things, good or bad, must come to an end, so did exams. A vacation was the reward for the hrst semesterls work and, believe me, it was welcomed by all. Yep, january was truly an interesting and eventful month. 6'o'o'o'U'o'N6T6'o'oAo'N6Tb oAo'o'o oifo'o'6'6T6'6' Page 166 nn--...T 4 M, 'r Q-,1 Q., 'X'-N 'sr' .K '- ,,'.

FEBRUARY FEBRUARY WITH HER HEARTS, flowers, and great men was certainly a busy month around these parts because of all the merry-making that went on inside my portals just after exam-time when the snowy, stormy weather outside called for a cheery, cozy inside. Deep in the memories of my feminine element, for all time, will be the junior and senior pal parties where the upperclassmen, happy, high-heeled, and holiday-dressed, exchanged corsages and friendships as they skipped over the social room Hoor. Soon after the senior goodfellowship affair, romantic ramblings began to swirl about me. I found out why quickly enough: St. Valentines Day. Cupid took over for the day and presided as host at a Girls' League holiday tea where he presented short love-skits that ranged from the puppy love stage to the old-age everlasting type. Then one Sunday afternoon, a band concert was held in the auditorium where a host of outstanding soloists plus two renditions from Wagner's Lohengrin pleased the proud parents and music lovers of the audience, who hailed it as one of the best performances ever presented. The main event of the month, however, was the Boys' and Girls' Youth Conference. After months of preparation, the key members provided my Citizens with thought- provoking speakers, entertaining mixers, and a delicious dinner. The fellows and girls returned to me after a week- end of serious thought and thousands of laughs, with higher ideals, greater dreams, and more faith. 3 Intermingling with the Conference, was the state wres- tling sectional elimination meet that was held in the Field House this year. Because of a victorious outcome, all of my matmen had an opportunity to go downstate to Cham- paign to struggle for state championship. But my Citizens didn't just caper from one gala affair to another, the seniors sobered a little and thought seriously about their futures in terms of more education when repre- sentatives of surrounding colleges came to me to discuss college problems and possibilities with college preparatory SEHIOIS. Also on the list of senior extra-curricular activities for the month was an address by a World War II veteran, Rex Hogan, who entertained the senior sages with servicemen's song favorites, and a discussion of the comedy associated with American and Australian slang. Doing their bit to help satisfy a serviceman's sweet tooth, the junior class donated fifty-six pounds of cookies to the Chicago Servicemen's Center through the sponsorship of the Girls' Leagues Cookies for the Rookies drive that is held monthly. ' journalistic awards again made me proud this month. My Pageant editor-in-chief received a crisp ten-dollar bill and a letter of commendation signed by Kathleen Norris for filling a nation-wide questionnaire concerning high school idio- syncrasies. Commemorating Washington's and Lincoln's birthdays, a patriotic play, We Promise You, America, written by two of my senior girls, was presented to my student body. Perhaps, because of this incentive, my Citizens came through in a patriotic spirit, and for the first time this year, I proudly flew the Minute Man flag. As February's twenty-eight days dwindled into March, I cackled as I watched my upperclass girls run around hec- tically looking for a mixer-mate.

It seems that after my prize pinboys had victoriously tossed their opponents about in the sec- tional wrestling meet last month, to which I was host this year, I sent eight of the mighty maulers downstate, where they succeeded in nabbing the state championship for the team, and three individual championships, besides. Later, a matinee dance attracted the more musically- minded set to the girls' upper gym, where they jived it up and smoothed it off in time with a definitely OK down- beat. The Proviso orchestra maintained the musical at- mosphere, with modifications, at its first concert of the year, in the auditorium. From rug-cuttin' to Rachmaninoff in three days-there's nothin' like variety! My under-upper-classmen, the juniors, had an X-period assembly in which a team of sound-effects experts demon- strated the mysteries of radio's Sounds of the Air. A few days later, this was followed by a grade school concert, and then by the usual six-weekly P.T.A. meeting. The audi- torium was kept buzzin', but good, to say the least. Down in my social room, the Girls' League held a St. Patrick's Day tea. It included all the usual tea-drinking festivities, plus a motley of greens in honor of the Irish saint. Another of the main doings of the League this month was their Fiesta dinner with all the Spanish paraphernalia the League could muster in the way of food, decorations, and music. Devouring bowls of chili and rendering forth choruses of La Cucaracha in the cafeteria put all the Pan- American senoritas in a definite el Espanol attitude. But THE affair of the month was, at that time, yet to come. It was the Junior-Senior Mixer. For several weeks, the girls had been dashing madly about, asking their favorite jive-Joes to this but definitely special turnabout. The mixer itself turned out to be a good neighbor event, with refresh- ments served at a fiesta sundae bar by pert little skirts dressed in south-of-the-border costumes. Pin-pricking time arrived all too soon as far as needle- allergic students were concerned when they watched with dismay white-robed men with little black bags establish themselves in the girls' upper gym for student and faculty tuberculin tests. But it proved to be nothing but a quick prick, almost painless. i After waiting anxiously for months on end for their class rings, seniors finally had their prayers answered this month. Flashing the tiny gold disks about before the envious eyes of the underclassmen proved to be poignant pleasure for many, but for others, it only made their ever-impending commencement become a reality. The'Greeks had their tragic and comic dramas, the Eng- lish had their Shakespearean dramas, and I certainly had my drama this month when the senior class presented Death Takes A Holiday. It was one of the most unusual pro- ductions I have ever seen, my Citizens also enjoyed it. It's all about Death and a short vacation he takes on earth to see how we humans live. While doing so, he falls in love with one of our most beautiful earthly creatures. I can still hear the echoes of applause the audience rendered to that hard- working cast. So, while we were in a dramatic mood, Easter suddenly pounced upon us, and once again, my Citizens and Head Kee ers left me for a short vacation. P Page 1 70 6' u X Si? 5? UIQ!! L. 3 In , ?'

My underclassmen lay awake nights musing over clever campaign oratories, while my seniors suffered their first pangs of nostalgia because they were already feeling as if they were no longer a part of me. Our spring light-headedness did not last long, however, during the first week of the month, we again commemorated our gallant heroes of Bataan. This year we had the one consolation that the captured prisoners had been released, and the dead heroes avenged. For the first time in my history, I was host one Saturday to the Suburban High School Girls' Conference. Boy, did I love welcoming all those pretty girls into my humble portals! The girls sipped savory tea, listened attentively to informative as well as interesting speakers, and had fun exchanging views and news with girls from other schools. Also on the League agenda was the annual Mother-Daughter tea, sponsored by the Senior Guard, where mothers and daughters sipped tea and munched on petit fours. Stepping into the party-limelight for the first time, my under-underclassmen held their spring party in the Field House where they capered to popular tunes of the day. My Citizens had many opportunities to show off their Easter-newest-best at both the Easter band concert and the sunrise service that the Youth Fellowship sponsored. The concert again proved to be one of the outstanding events of the year in its presentation of Parsifal which had some spectacular background constructed by my very own art department. The sunrise service was one of the first of its kind around these parts, and it showed signs of coming for a return performance next year. The National Honor Society was really first rate news this month because of the many social whirls that it sponsored. First of all, it made some one hundred fifty upperclassmen feel pretty proud to become members of this nation-wide organization. Afterward, these high and mighties were in- ducted with solemn dignity by my spirits: Character, Scholarship, Leadership, and Service. Then these and all of my other honor roll students were honored at the annual N.H.S. banquet where the guest speaker for the evening was Irving Pflaum, reporter from a Chicago newspaper. But even all of those activities didn't stop these aggressive studes. They also held a dance, the first of its kind ever sponsored by the organization. Meanwhile, the grass was growing greener and stronger, birds were industriously chirping and searching for nests, in school, Spanish classes celebrated Pan-American week by memorizing the twenty-one Latin American republics, boys began to think seriously about which favorite janey to ask to the prom.

May was a month of work and fun, of gaiety and seriousness, of looking forward and of looking back. Getting ofi' to a flying start, my jive Janes and Joes swung out to an assortment of sweet and hot rhythms at the last matinee dance of the year. The next night, the walls of the gaily decorated social room listened to the sounds of soft music blended with young laughterias a group of my smooth- est seniors, my most up-and-coming juniors, and their guests thoroughly enjoyed themselves at the Senior Guard's annual spring party. Early in the month my Citizens sent their class representa- tives to clear up all unfinished class business and to complete official recordsat the year's last meeting of the various class councils. A few days later the Student Council held its final meeting to put things in shape for the new officers who will begin work next fall. Meanwhile, other organizations were installing their re- cently elected officers in preparation for their new jobs. My athletic gals laid aside their gym suits and tennis shoes, donned heels and bright spring dresses, and entertained their mothers at the G.A.A. Installation Tea where proud parents and happy daughters watched the new leaders take office. After weeks and months of planning and expectation the night of the Prom finally came. All that day my walls echoed to the whispers of my sophisticated seniors and my excited juniors as they audibly anticipated the fun before them. That night filmy-formaled girls and their tux-clad escorts danced to dreamy music in the softly lighted Field House. The sweet, spicy fragrance of corsages filled the air and blended pleasantly into the atmosphere of happiness as my Citizens grew up for the night. Maintaining the spirit of gaiety, my sophomores followed the example of their older brothers and brought their favorite girl friends to the Field House the next night. Dressed in their Sunday finery, my sophs proved that they, too, were growing up as they enjoyed the dancing and refreshments at their own party. The next afternoon the music department combined talents for the Spring Festival. Featuring as the theme of their program Songs of Democracyf' my musically in- clined Citizens contributed their best efforts toward an afternoon of beautiful and inspiring entertainment. Sports also played a part in the good times my Citizens enjoyed during May. Some of my young athletes, with an eye on a big league catcher,s mitt or right held position, entered the district baseball tournaments which they hoped to use as a stepping-stone to carry them down to Champaign and their second successive state championship. Topping off their year of enjoyable activities, my gals witnessed the unforgettable Girls' League installation cere- mony. Traditional music filled the auditorium as the retiring officers gave their flowers and their responsibilities to their successors, who accepted them with a promise to carry on. Rounding out the list of May's parties, my Hi-Y-ers treated the social room to one more evening of formals, fiowers, and fun.: May flew by on the wings of laughter, but my Citizens were thinking of serious things, too. On Memorial Day they left me alone in a silent, reverent tribute to our coun- try's war dead. Then they returned to give May her' send-off and to welcome, unafraid, the things june was to bring. 6'6'6'UTUT'0'f6'H'6TTFTU'6'6'6A6'6'O'0x5'TO'0A675'675'0'?5'6'0 0 0 6'67V6 ZS ZS 6'6'6'6'6 Page 1 74 1' K ,, , 1 b.:E qqi.

Pictured above, on the left, is Staff Sergeant Ed Fippinger, from the Class of '35, who has been clear around the world: El Alamein, Egypt, Tunisia, India-only far-off names to provincial Maywoodians, but clear, poignant memories to this former Proviso wrestler. C. Arnold Bartlett, on the far right, a sergeant from the Class of 1930, returned to the states after two years' service in England with a souvenirgan English wife. Arnie played the flute in the concert band while at Provisog in England, he developed and interpreted air reconnaissance photographs. Fellows so familiar to the Proviso scene: fellows who have wrestled, played football waltzed with their favorite girls in the Field House, fellows who have struggled with trig analogies, memorized historic dates, and plowed slowly through Shakespeare, Milton, and Keats have returned not only older and wiser Provisoites, but better and truer Americans.

The freshmen. no longer green specimens of underclass life. now proudly call them- selves sophomores, while the soplis, former nemeses of the no-longer-verdant frosli, look ahead to the Prom, the hrst formal dress, the first shave. Yluniors are elevated to the pedestal of seniorhoodg they look ahead, into the summer and beyond, while the seniors, the Cllass of 'iii look backf-Y hack to sweaters and skirts, coke dates, Friday night dances, trig, Macbeth, Proms, and candle-lighted Senior Guard lformals. And as they leave Proviso, they leave behind, in the corridors, in the classrooms, and in the hearts and minds of the oncoming students, their dreams. Then, with con- tidence and courage, they step forward to fight for those visions. fx Page 1 78 SEEEQEEMSES LATE IN THE AFTERNOON, long after school has closed for the day, and after the teams have finished their practice sessions, a few stragglers may still be found leaving Proviso's always-full parking lot. The bicycle fleet and the auto armada are traditional parts of Proviso and this is the last remnant of the latter, rolling down the north drive.
