W GJ lu f ovn OF ' Z1 Publishedby H THE SENIOR CLASS OF PROVISO TOWNSHIP HIGH SCHOOL MAYWOOD . .V . .HILLINOIS Foreword Throughout the world, people of all ages are longing to attain peace, that peace for which so many have fought and died. Because, as youth, our heritage will be the maintenance and promotion of friendly rela- tions among nations, we of the staif have based the 1947 Provi on the theme Education for Peacef' Every course which we study in school provides us with the oppor- tunity to prepare ourselves for a world built upon the foundations of peace and good will toward men. , The social sciences enable us to understand better the causes oi many of the present world disagreementsg thus, by stndyin history and related subjects, we become more tolerant of foreign ideas and more willing to co-operate with other nations for peace. Through the knowledge of a foreign language, we become acquainted with the common heritage of a people, therefore, we are able to under- stand better their way of life. Moreover, by studying xt language, we prepare ourselves to participate in the peaceful interchange of ideas among the nations of our world. We regard science as the very basis of our modern lifeg indeed, there is not a single phase of daily living which is not affected by the appli- cation of some scientific principle. During the war we made great advances in science. lf we would but utilize these discoveries for the benefit of mankind, we would greatly enhance the chance for peace. Art, music, and literature represent the most perfect part of a nation's culture. Man has always expressed his emotions-passionate love, bitter hate, overwhelming joy, heartbreaking sorrow9through the universal language of the fine arts. Here, in the great works of the masters, even those of us who do not have unusual creative powerl'can End inspiration and stimulation. We find a symbol of peace in homcmaking, for nothing could be more in accord with harmonious and happy living than family life. Well-trained children and devoted parents are indicative of a normal United States. Commerce and industry form the basis for business relationships among interdependent countries everywhere. Manufactured goods are traded by industrial nations for raw materials from agrarian countries, with resulting economic stability. This free flow of goods and services insures world-wide prosperity, and consequently, peace. Though mosl courses tend to build alert minds, the purpose of physical education is, in addition, to form strong bodiesg for weak people constitute a weak nation. Through competitive games, we also acquire the sportsmanship and sense of fair play so important to peace. The strength of a country is measured not only by material wealth, but also by the physical strength and vigor of its people. The Provi staff has emphasized the beauty of nature throughout this annual, for wc believe that in nature one can find the true meaning of peace. Tranquillity, relaxation, and calmness are among the gifts which Mother Nature bestows upon us. We of this locality are especially fortunate because the treasure chest of nature is indeed bountiful here. The sparkling snow and fragrantt evergreens of winter, the verdant forest preserves, rippling brooks, and sweet flowers of summerg the freshness of spring and the coloring of autumn, all of these, and more, arouse in an observing person an appreciation of nature's beauty. ln the world of tomorrow, we may do well to blend intelligence, developed through education, with the serenity which characterizes nature. The resulting co-operation with fellow men would make possible our goal--a peace which reigns supreme.

The Board of Education, comprised of worthy community men, is one of the staunch pillars of Proviso. All of the projects to improve our school, which include those of classroom facilities, building and grounds maintenance, financial planning, determinations of additions, and general improvement, are under 'the supervision of these responsible men. They formulate the policies of the school and are one of the important reasons for the high place Proviso maintains among other institutions of learning. B. Leslie Allen, president for 1946-47, is serving his fifteenth year on the Board. He has also held the position of secretary. I-le is a resident of Melrose Park. Fred E. Meyer of Forest Park is holding the responsibility of secretary for l946-47. He has also held office as president in the course of his five years' service on the Board. Harry W. Ewert of Maywood has, in the past, been both president and secretary. This is his fourteenth year of membership. William A. Gee, resident of Maywood, was president for 194-5l4-6. Previously, he served a term as secretary. He is now completing his sixth year as a Board member. John M. Newcomer has rendered service during his fifteen years of mem- bership as both president and secretary. He, too, is a resident of Maywood. Louis Ancel has been attorney for the Board for eight years.

COUNSELCDRS. . . for personal guidance COUNSELORS Do boys and girls attending Proviso have problems and obstacles facing them? Indeed they do! Vlfhenever students feel the need of personal guidance, they are privileged to seek the :advice of their class counselor. These counselors are prepared to give kind, helpful, and well-founded advice. All freshmen and sophomores are divided into regular class groups for counsel and discussion. H. E. Carr counsels the freshman boysg Miss Virginia Havward advises the girls. The sophomore counselors are O. O. Dillner and Miss Ruth Beck. .l. W. Hinds is the junior and senior boys' counselorg Miss Lois Moore is the counselor for junior and senior girls. All are well-qualified for their work havin received masters' de rees at North- , S g western University. SCHOOL NURSE Splitting headaches, sprained fingers, sore toes, and aching backs-these, and more, are the ailments of Proviso students for which Miss Helen Robinson, the school nurse, gives treatment. Miss Robinson has been at Proviso for fifteen years. Among her duties are helping Dr. Morris Buyer with the annual physical examinations and keeping health records of all students. The school nurse has a big job curing aches and pains, but she's always prepared with her band-aids, iodine, aspirin, and a bright quip or two. Page 12 Left to Right: Harry Stegman. F. W. Baer. E. R.

CURRICULUM COMMITTEE COMMITTEES. . . faculty problem-faclders The Curriculum Committee acts as the co-ordinating body for all curricular problems of the school. Under the leadership of the chairman, Miss Mary Sigworth, the committee meets weekly to discuss and solve problems that may arise in any of the school curricula. The Advisory Committee, under the direction of E. R. Sifert, meets every two weeks to discuss and evaluate plans suggested by faculty members. Each year a new member is appointed to the group and one is droppedg this procedure insures an experienced committee. ADVISORY COMMITTEE Standing: V. J. Catlin. E. W. Stubbs. Seated: E. R.

Seated: Miss Dorothy Thompson, Manley W. lmmel, Miss Virginia Hayward, Miss Alice Terdina, John Carr, Miss Wilma Sims, Miss Frances Gospill, Miss Char- lotte Thomas, Miss Cleora Fancher. The Student Council Advisory Committee, of which Miss Dorothy Thompson is general chairman, consists of sixteen faculty members. These members are as- signed to different Student Council committees where they supervise the activities of the groups. As long as the students' actions are approved by the authorities and are in agreement with the constitution, the advisors remain inactive. Only when matters need faculty attention do they actually take part in discussions. The Advi- sory Committee is always willing and eager to aid the Student Council in attaining these aims: to help raise student morale, to assist with school regulations, and to render service. The Professional Development Committee, headed by Martin M. Finstad, pre- pares and presents programs which keep the faculty informed about educational trends and developments, and brings controversial questions in school routine before the faculty for discussion. The seven faculty members of the committee meet once each month, or as often as necessary when programs are being prepared. They are kept busy deter- mining the material for presentation at professional faculty meetings, arranging for university field courses and lecturers, and securing selected printed matter of current information for faculty distribution. A Some of the speakers of the past year who told of their work during the war, were Richard Daniels, English, Miss Marie Baldridge, English, and Miss Dorothea XVcstern, librarian.

Madame Chairman, I disagree w ment. ith that state- pression -expression, always necessary in conveying our thoughts clearly to others, is increasingly im- portant in our modern world. As swift transportation and communication com- bine to squeeze the earth until the farthest outposts are neighbors, we need more than ever to be capable of intel- ligent discussion about international and domestic issues. Discussion leads to K wide knowledge of political, economic, and social conditions in the world, greater knowledge, pushing away ig- norance, leads to co-operation. We Americans have always prided ourselves on our right of free speech. To help the student make the most of this privilege, the Proviso Speech De- partment shows him how to express his views intelligently. It aims to give stu- dents poise for participation in clubs, discussions, and forums-a general preparation for self-expression in every- day life. The department also offers more specialized work. If a student has interest in radio and the theater, he can study the fundamentals of these fields. If he enjoys a good argument, he can engage in the lively, thought-generating art of public discussion. In the future, the world hopes to settle disputes with words instead of wars. Proviso is helping its young people to prepare for confident answers to the important and frequent question, L'What's your opinion? l 6'When we stood up there, we felt about so W highf' N W Hopeful actors and speakers practice before the critical eyes of their classmates Mr. C.

They have seen beauty glowing white hot in the hearts of starsg felt the pulsation of the universe in the restless windg heard the symphonic rhythm of the raing tasted adventure with the tangy sea spray. Through the study of literature-the vividly recorded experiences of great writers -we come to a more vital apprecia- tion of the world in which we live. We cannot all express with deli- cate accuracy the ephemeral emo- tions which come to life in us. But we can observe the insignificant things about us -- colored pebbles and symmetrical snowflakes - and in the knowledge of their exquisite per- fection enlarge our whole experience in living. Even as writers must record the beauty they find, he who thus comes to a richer enjoyment of life will want to share it with others. We have an opportunity in the study of I English to develop even a small skill in the communication to one another of the truth and beauty we Hnd about us. Thus, as a perception of this beauty lends us nobility of spirit, so, by communicating but a little of this fervid idealism to others, we contrib- ute to the eternal glory of mankind. -and this is where Shakespeare-is plays were produced. inform- The classroom library yields some ative hooks.

This relation- ship, together with the exchange of letters with young people of France, establishes a common bond with our foreign neigh- bors and gives the student a clearer un- derstanding of the problems existing in Europe during this period of reconstruc- tion. ln accordance with the Mgood neighbor policy, Pan-American Day is celebrated annually with the Spanish classes partici- pating in appropriate programs.gThrough these projects, the students become better acquainted with their Spanish 'famigosf' i In c asses, the im i f all language l portance o mastering that particular subject is stressed so that the students will realize the necessity for a mutual agreement with all the peoples of the world. ,lust as the natural background of a people is evident in its customs and cere- monies, so the cultural background is evi- dent in its language. The realization and study of these facts destroys the interven- ing barriers and creates the understanding which is so necessary in a united World. Members of the French class perfect their pro- nunciation by listening to records. Mother Latina and her children-eFrance, Ru- mania, Spain and Italy-listen to Vergil as he reads of the beauties of nature.

Every language has its own particular associations. Classical Latin, a model of concise, accurate expression, stands as an example of an ancient language perpetually renewing itself in later, slightly altered forms. French is traditionally the language of diplomacy, its subtleties reminiscent of inter- national intrigue. Scientific treaties are written in forceful, polysyllabic Ger- ARI S S man. The lilting cadences of Italian have made it the language used as lyrics 6 ,S for a wealth of musical literatureg Italian phrases also compose the vocabulary 'S of musical terms.

They have watched the seasons-changes in expression on the face of the earth - bring their own particular loveliness to all of life. But besides enjoying such na- tural perfection, Proviso students may View exhibits of the greatest paintings of the world in Chicago's art galleries. A comprehensive study of all art expressions reveals the underlying principles for all forms, to be the same. The interaction of the laws of balance, repetition, and dominance and subordination explain why the appeal of the uMona Lisa and that of the, Taj Mahal are artistically equal,iwhy the Mexican basket weav- er is as much a creator of art as was Michelangelo. Music is used to encourage free emotional expression in art, thus sat- isfying the creative urge. But music also utilizes the artist. For Proviso concerts every year, artistic back- grounds are created by students of the .Art Department to illustrate par- ticular moments of intense feeling. Hand in hand, the arts lead forward to the cultivation of individuals more sensitively aware of the need for beauty and harmony in the world. Surely he who is artistically aware of life will have that inner peace of T mind from which international peace must spring. Art II students study an important painting by Seurat which belongs to the post- impressionistic group. The work of commercial art students helps to emphasize with art Education for the Atomic Age -slogan for American Educa- tion Week.

It is difficult to estimate the service of the art department to the school. In any situation which demands the artistic approach, the Art Department is called upon for advice and assistance. It was a student of the Art Depart- ment Who designed the distinctive monogram for the choir members' stoles. As an American Education Week project, art students prepared a panel sensitively illustrating the theme Education for the Atomic Age. The scenery for school plays is prepared by Provisois artistsg their holiday decorations brighten the work-a-day atmosphere of the school. Surely, life at Proviso is greatly enriched by the innumerable services of the Art Department. bsfracfions 'X 43 Page 27 Equations and geometric proofs offer a challenge to the alert mind Studying the geometric forms in nature are Mr. H.

Gradually with mathematical pat e man discovered the laws set by these sed them to his own ad- is patterns and u vantage. series The simple ratio, the number which grew out of it, and the geometric form which expressed it were all serv- iceable tools for man when their use by nature became apparent to him. The beauty of a flower, conforming to geo- metrical ratio and pattern, brought forth ideas in decoration. The threads of a spider web, falling along the lines of a catenary curve, helped the engineer to realize the possibility of building sus pension bridges.

HOME Page 34 ECCJNOMICS . . . for promising homemakers Peace springs from a world in ha mony, and such harmony originates in the home - the backbone of the nation. Peace in the home will create closer, friendlier relations among men, and thus, the possibility of war will no longer be a reality. This fundamental truth is being carried into the home- making classes of Proviso and is being stressed increasingly every day. r. This year a new feature was added with which Proviso homemaking classes are indeed delighted--the complete transformation of the kitchens into 1955 models. They are now equipped with the newest type stoves, spacious cupboards, large white sinks, an auto- matic dish-washer, and other conven- iences. Besides these innovations, an en- larged, cozy dining room was provided where those tasty dishes can be sampled by the budding cooks of tomorrow. Once again, the s ' ewing classes cli- maxed the year by presenting a fashion show before the P.T.A. Several girls proudly modeled their carefully stitched masterpieces which were made and per- fected in class. Thr ough a well ro - unded selection of courses, the Hom e Economics Depart- ment prepares the girls who will be the American homemakers of tomorrow. Thus, Proviso generously and enthusi- astically gives full support to the need for better, happier homes in the future. Here is the floor plan for that dream h ome. Measure carefully!

Practical and up-to-date training is offered every Proviso girl who is interested in home economics. Through the subjects offered she may learn to make her own clothes, Whip up a hatch of biscuits, or decide which color scheme she would like to use in her home. The Home Economics Department this year offered foods, clothing, interior decorating, and home management. In the first year, the student is taught the basic fundamentals of the course. If she wishes to take the second year of a particular course, more advanced methods are taught with emphasis on preparation for future years. 592 In if-.

The accent is on team play in boys, physical education classes. During their four years of school, boys engage in several competitive sports, includ- ing touch football, baskethall, volleyball, and baseball. Since the boys are already more or less familiar with the games, only a few periods are spent in explaining the fine points of each sport. The rest of the season is a sort of tournament ill which regularly established teams vie for superiority. Instructors act as referees, settling arguments with explanations of rules. The purpose of this team play is to let hoys have fun while learning to apply good sportsmanship. PHYSICA tal development are L EDUCATION . . . boys' activities Physical and men inseparable, therefore, a healthy body reflects a healthy mind. Physical and mental reiiexes work together in every physical activity. The total body co- ordination necessary for supple move- ment is comparable to the teamwork between quarterback and squad on the gridiron. The individual, like the team, X must be mentally alert if he is to use l his physical strength most effectively. l l Conversely, the mind does its best N work in a strong body, the weakling X finds mental concentration more dif- i ticult. Physical education produces not l only bodily vigor, endurance, grace of ,- movement, and symmetry of body, but also mental vigor, self-confidence, and sound morality. Good sportsmanship, practiced at home and in the business world, as well as in competitive sports, is another important mental develop- ment of physical education. The recent global war revealed that many young Americans were unpre- pared to face hardships because of the laxness of physical education in this country. Having learned a lesson from the facts exposed by military training, our schools are now stressing the im- portance of keeping mentally and phys- ically fit. Proviso's Physical Education Depart- ment has developed a constructive pro-- gram of vigorous athletics, including numerous team sports, competitive ac- tivities, and specialized training, to de- velop physical, mental, and moral fitness.

Many students underestimate the value of physical education. They are inclined to believe that it is a minor phase of their training for life. But the fact that physical education is a subject each student is required to take hy state law proves that it plays a major role in education. More and more, women are called upon to perform tasks which necessitate a high degree ofl physical iitness. This can he obtained only through the right kind of physical exercise and education. With its modern facilities and capable teachers, Proviso equips her girls with the adequate knowledge for living clean, healthy lives.

Seniors look confident The class of '47 selected as its leaders in the mighty senior year Don Blasius, president, Sal Seno, vice-president, Evelyn Walden, secretary, and Carl Radke, treasurer. A. R. Volk served as faculty advisor for the class. The Senior Senate was composed of one representative from each homeroom. This body planned class activities, took care of routine business, and reported to the student body on senior class matters. The Tinsel Twirl 011 December 13, the Mixer on March 21, and the Prom on May 16 were the three major social affairs of the seniorsi year. These dances were planned with the aid of Miss Viola Scala, senior social chairman. The arrival of class rings, the taking of measurements for caps and gowns, and the posing for Provi pictures-all during the autumn-set the seniors to looking ahead toward June. Wllilc they had enjoyed their busy high school days, they were eager to experience the Special Service, Class Day, and- graduation.

The action of the play revolves around Abby and Martha Brewster, two charming old ladies whose only desire in life is to help poor unfor- tunates find peace. Their nephew Teddy, imagining himself to he Theodore Roosevelt, digs the Panama Canal in the basement of the house. It is here that the aunts dispose of their gentlemen who have upassed away. The cast was guided through the painstaking work of rehearsal by the director, Miss Mary Eileen Serak. wana FIELD HOUSE. . . where school days end The Proviso field house has rapidly gathered tradition during its brief existence. Ten senior classes have gone forth from Proviso with lingering mem- ories of farewell ceremonies held in it. Near the end of each year, the echoes of bouncing baslcetballs die awayg the sight of a carpet of neatly arranged chairs becomes familiar to Provisoites. Shortly before the chairs appear, the spacious field house blossoms into softly lighted beauty for one night. Couples in formal dress glide through the dreamy 2llIll0SITllt'l't'. This is Promtimcg this is the zenith of the upper- classmanis social life, When the Prom is history, when it is just a pressed flower stored in a new album, thc senior looks forward to the final week of high school. Almost immediately it is upon himg he soon finds himself attending the Special Service in the lield house O11 Sunday evening. On Tuesday the seniors meet again for the tradition-filled Class Day exer- cises. The be-ribboned axe is passed down to the juniorsg the class gift is presentedg and the secret f'Who's Whow names are read. Thursday evening brings the week to a climax with Commencement. Diplomas in hand, The seniors stride out into the worlflg but in their nostalgic moods they look back and let the memories rise from within the massive walls of the field house. Page 85 Youth Speaks for Peace by JOAN GITZEL For two years have we lived 'with Peace. We have seen men bargain for her As we once saw men die, And we are glad that today,s weapons Are thoughts and words instead of guns and shells. We have learned again to love securely, Unafraid that love is an illusion, Which war will ruthlessly shatter. We once saw cities fall, And war machines crack and disintegrate. But, in the bright dawn of peace, With hearts and minds .renewedly aware, We have turned again To the indestructible values of life For a sure foundation .stone Upon which to rebuild our world. We have been told That peace means unity and harmony Throughout the world. And we have wished with youth's sincerity it could be so Then we were heartened when we remembered How wisely we were fostered in liberty, How our schools have engendered within us The component ideals of democracy. We have learned understanding That perceives not color of skin., Nor religious nor racial difference, But the common heritage of humanity. We have learned unselfishness, Charity, and kindlinessg Fortitude that cannot know despairg And the stern, but necessary virtue, discipline. We have been inspired with faith's -vision That ennobles as it leads through disappointment To serenity and satisfaction. We know that we are the hope of tomorrow's world, And we face the challenging future undrzunted. For we have thus been taught To shape our destiny With self-reliance strengthened by virtue. And if, in our sacred endeavor to keep men free And preserve their hearts in harmony with one another, We apply the truths, invincible and eternal, That we have learned to cherish, Then we shall be at peace.

The audience is seated . . . the lights are dimmed . . . the curtains are raised . . . and on stage, the freshmen are ready to begin a new production of the four-year epic known as high school life. The 1950 version of this great play once again has an entirely new cast of charac- ters, numbering nearly one thousand. But, unlike most plays, this one has no leading men and ladies when the curtain goes up. In the opening scene, hundreds of players are wandering about in a huge setting composed principally of corridors and doors. The group of people appears to be utterly disorganized. After the play has progressed beyond the initial confusion, however, the audience can begin to see that many of the freshmen have extensively explored their new environment, and are now becoming es- tablished in normal routines. The bewildered expressions are becoming ever fewer as the ac-tion continues. The little blue books to which the players constantly referred at first are seldom seen. The freshmen, as well as the audience, are now beginning to discover the identities of the class leaders. The time of the year is November, according to the program, and the cast of this unique play is starting the process by which the stars will be chosen. Nervous players deliver speeches to the assembled freshmen. The curtain falls on the first scene as the players form lines before the ballot boxes. Scene II opens, disclosing a messenger tacking up a sign. Audience and cast read the election returns-Louis Augustine, freshman class president, Arnold Anagnostopoulos, vice-president, Mary Lou Whitlock, secretaryg and John Millikan, treasurer. Mr. Wilson A. Law, sponsor of the production, appears on stage, he immediately begins to confer with the new stars. The remainder of the second scene is filled with activity. Developing citizenship is portrayed when a body called. the Freshman Advisory Board meets to plan group ac- tiong developing social life is shown in a series of 'Lcounseling partiesf' which introduce members of the cast to one another. At length, Act I ends for the cast of the l950 production. The curtain falls on con- fident, eager faces. The players of 1950 are ready for the next act of the high-school adventure.

The members are chosen on the basis of these qualities. The society sponsors the N. H. S. College Catalog Library, which endeavors to give the students help in their selection of a college. The group also holds an annual banquet for those students who have achieved scholastic distinction by attaining a place on the honor roll or honorable mention. The traditional climax of the year is the inspirational service held for the induction of new members. Dr. E. R. Sifert gives an effective address, after which the candlelight portion of the ceremony takes place. Officers for the year 1946-447 were Toni Gill, president, Audrey Grupe, vice-president, Corrine Silfen, secretary, and Barbara Gosch, treasurer. The faculty sponsor of the society is Miss Ellendore Lampton. SENIORS IN 1946 Back row: Zappen, Unger, Taggart, Ramsey, Davis, Mally, Meyer, Hurtt, Schubert, Kosdon, Reynolds.

The Student Council functions as the student governing organization of the school, helping to guide each person toward better standards of citizenship and leadership. The executive cabinet, consisting of the ten standing com- mittee chairmen and the three officers, meet weekly to discuss problems of the school. This group, together with the home- room representatives, play the most important part in the de- cisions of the Council. The projects under this year's Student Council included the purchase of a jukebox, the sale of student directories, babush- kas, rabbitis foot booster buttons, and activity tickets, the spon- soring of a safety essay contest, the school elections, all pep assemblies, and the Morton homecoming game. The Thanks- giving project, a collection also directed by the Student Council, totaled 3422.87 to be used for feeding the starved war victims in Europe. The homeroom representatives, executive cabinet members ofhcers and committee members of the Council climaxed a year of, service on March 7 when they gathered at a formal. Page 104 Representatives pass Council news along The homeroom representatives, elected at the beginning of the year, play an important role in activities of the Student Council. They attend the monthly meet- ings, where all major decisions are made, and then carry hack the news to the llOIl16I'00lIlS.

The girls enjoy these affairs after school by dancing to the swing of Bing, nibbling crunchy cookies, and sipping tea or chocolate. Special entertainment is planned for each tea, in the past year square dancing, magic, social hours, quizzes, and fashion shows were featured at the get-togethers. Other activities which the League sponsored the past year were a picnic, a splash party, the Mother-Daughter Banquet, the Fiesta Frolic, and the Junior and Senior Pal Parties. League undertake several projects to In addition to having fun themselves, members of the afford pleasure to others. For example, at Christmas time, they give dolls, toys, and scrap books present special programs to entertain to needy children at the Cook County Hospital. They also the people at the Baptist Old People's Home. The Bow Week project, making bows of blue for the seniors. red for the juniors, yellow for the sophomores, and green for the freshmen, is also sponsored by the League. This organization also co-operates with the Proviso Youth Fellowship each year to make the Boys' and Girls' Conference a success.

The ceremony, which is religious in nature, symbolizes the four flowers in the Girls' League garden: the daisy, the pansy, the rose, and the lily. Each one represents a different characteristic of girls who belong to the League. Included in the Girls' League are the Big Sisters and the Senior Guard. During the first week of school the Big Sisters help bewildered freshmen to find their roomsg moreover, each girl is an all-around friend and advisor to each person in her freshman homeroom. The Senior Guard girls, outstanding in scholarship, leadership, and service, are of general assistance around the school. The Girls' League is an important part of Provis0's daily life, and the ideals it promotes, raise the school's standards. Sophomore homeroom representatives crane their necks to see how tea should be served in style. We now present Baby Snooks, Pro- viso versioni'-the Baptist Old Peo- ple's Home is host to the younger generation, but definitely. These freshmen at a Big Sister party mingle to do something or other. They may be playing musical chairs, forming a Conga line, or even prac- ticing judo-what the activity may be is your guess-but they'll know one another better when it's over.

Senior l!0IllCl'00ll1 represen- tatives are not above play- ing with dolls for a while. Bow Week is coming, and plenty of ribbon is on handg freshman representatives have work to do. By providing intellectual, social, and spiritual guidance, the Girls' League assists Proviso girls in a three-fold manner. During the past year, the League was guided by Margie Bloom, president, Lenore Wild, first vice-president, Dolores Pease, second vice-president, Angie Kutrumanes, secretary, and Helen Taggart, treasurer. These officers were assisted by five committees-Service, Art, Social, Program, and Friendship--and a Board of Directors. The Service Committee make the bows for Bow Week, buys and sells the dolls for the Christmas doll project, and performs general services around the school. The Art Committee makes fashion drawings for the bulletin boards, draws posters, makes favors, and does other art work as it is needed. Serving at teas and chocolate chats is one of the main duties of girls on the Social Committee. Sixteen girls are needed at each gathering - four to work in the kitchen, four to pick up dishes, four to replenish the tables, and four to serve at the table. This gives each girl on the committee an opportunity to be of service and have fun at the same time. The Program Committee is the place for girls who can sing, dance, or do any sort of perform- ing. Everyone on this committee must have the ability to plan good programs for the teas and for the Mother-Daughter Banquet. The Friendship Committee writes cards and letters to girls who have been out of school for a long period of time. The job of this committee is important because it brings cheer and happi- ness to the sick girls. In these ways the Girls' League is able to take an active part in the life of Proviso.

Proviso's school newspaper Proviso affords training in journalism by publishing the Pageant, which continues to hold the highest achievement rating awarded to high school news- papers, the International Honor Award by Quill and Scroll. This year, the staff of the Pageant was headed by Marjorie Hinkle, editor- in-chief, and ,lim Davis, managing editor. Carol Ramsey was head copy editor, Bill Menke served as sports editor. The Magazine Section was edited by Nancy Koenig. Associate editors and junior assistants, who came on the staff in Feb- ruary, aided these people.

This year, nliiving Today for Tomorrow was chosen by the group as the theme of its eighth annual Boys' and Girls' Conference held February 28, March l-2. Through the ideas exchanged in these discussions Proviso students acquire an intelligent understanding of their responsibilities, thus, they be- come better prepared to take their places in a world of peace. The fall picnic, the enlightening forums, the impressive Easter Sunrise Service, held in the high school stadium-all present opportunities for co- operation between the church and the school. Officers for the 19-I-7 conference were Jeanne ,lones and John Martinson, co-chairmeng Wanda Kitterman, secretary, and Dale Johnson, treasurer. Com- mittee chairmen were Mary Elizabeth Anderson, banquet, Sue Wiegman, pub- licity, and Don Blasius, recreation.

After nightfall, there was singing directed hy Mr. Daniels, around the campfire. The crisp autumn air, together with the food, singing, and entertainment, made this an evening of supreme pleasure. Page 121 Girls' Athletic Association activities Freshman girls were acquainted with the G.A.A. at the Pow Wow, the annual fresh- man playday. The freshies were split into: tribes, and each wore the feather of her tribe throughout the day's festivities. These included competitive games of volleyball, baseball, War dances and Indian wrestling. The chiefs and braves then partook of a feast in the lower gym where they were entertained. Many of the older members of the G.A.A. earned through their service enough points to make :hem eligible for G.A.A. awards. These included the G.A.A. emblem of Proviso -a MPQ' and emblem of Illinois-an MI, together with awards given for intra-mural and inter-scholastic participation. x Indians for a day, freshman girls re- lease their energy at the Pow-wow.

With a resumption of inter-scholastic sports and a renewed interest in intra-murals, the Girls, Athletic Association experienced one of its most suc- cessful years. Under the supervision of Miss Eva Eddy, sponsor, Miss Edith jones, Miss Josephine Foster, Miss Mary'Wheeler, Miss Ruth Simms, and Miss Millicent Sherman, fourteen different sports were offered. Three of these, tennis, golf, and archery, were offered for inter-scholastic as well as for intra- mural competition. This gave the more advanced members an opportunity to represent Proviso against girls from other schools. With an enthusiastic crew to guide its course, the good ship G.A.A. had an enjoyable voyage. The iirst landing was made at the lndian Hunting Grounds fgirlsl upper gymj on Saturday, September 28. Here the annual freshman playday, which has assumed the name of the Freshman Pow-Wow for the coming years, was held. The crew had many other pleasant landings, including a Christmas party, a formal initiation in February, and a splash party and potluck supper the following month. Finally, on May 9, at an installation tea, the senior crew members received permanent shore leave. Page 123 Future Business Leaders of America Your friendly corner grocer is happy to serve you.

The Future Business Leaders of America was formed in Proviso to aid in the development of interest in business education. A comparatively new organization, it was first chartered in 194-2g however, it has the distinction of being one of the first in the state of Illinois. This organization is not limited to this section of the country, for it holds national conventions. The purpose of the Future Business Leaders of America is to help students gain commer- cial experience. Modern office equipment is ever-ready for the club's members. They are encouraged to work for awards in commercial subjects, and are given help in making an intelligent choice in business occupations. Oilicers for the year were Bernadine Shepardson, president, Ray Schoenwolf, first vice- presidentg Myrna Welch, second vice-presidentg Elizabeth Knox, third vice-presidentg Nancy Karel, secretary, and .leanne Swanson, treasurer.

Together with the choir and the choruses, the orchestra presented a program of appropriate and pleasant compositions for the Christmas concert. The same musical organizations gave a joint concert in the spring. Besides these, the orchestra also played for the junior and scnior plays and the January 30 meeting of the P.T.A. Ensembles and soloists furnished approximately 75-100 programs for organizations in the community. Relaxing in their busy schedule of musical service, the members held several picnics in the forest preserve at which wieners and baseball were the order of the day. Together with their parents, they also attended the annual showing of the Interlochen film. Perhaps the orchestrais most important function is the training in sound musicianship which it offers to students. Players participate in the district music contests of the state of Illinoisg soloists and ensembles are also entered in these contests. A school award consisting of silver stars mounted on Proviso blue is given to those students who attain sufficiently high musical standards in the course of their high school careerg one star is awarded for each year of excellent service.

The first hour of a P.T.A. meeting is allotted for conferences between parents and their cl1ildren's teachers. The business meeting consists of the distribution of printed committee reports and the presentation of an entertaining program. Fol- lowing the meeting, refreshments are served in the cafeteria. The organization sets aside two funds for student use-the Needy Student Fund and the Wortliy' Student Fund. The first, on the advice of the nurse or coun- selor, is made available for the purchase of clothing, materials, supplies, and glasses. The counselors are also given five dollars each as a petty cash fund, for temporary loans to students.

Lacking sufficient weight, speed, and experience, the 1946 edition of the Proviso Pirates coached by Andy Puplis and Chuck Kassel completed their eight game season with one victory, one tie, and six losses. It was heartbreaking for the Pirates to see games so near the victory point fade away to their opponents. Despite gielsepwelekly losses, the Bucs continued to give their host. The peak of their season came in a brilliant game with at ar '. The Blue-and-White opened their 1946 battles with a 0-0 tie with the La Grange Lions. The following Satur- day they traveled to Evansville, Indiana where they met Bosse High School and lost, 14--0. Coming back the following Saturday to play on home grounds for the first time in the season, the Pirates dropped a game, 14-13, to Highland Park. With renewed determination the Bucs traveled to Harvey to play Thornton and defeated them, 13-0. This was their first and only win of the season. Back again to home territory, the Pirates faced the Wildkils of Evanston and were defeated, 7-0. The next game was lost to New Trier, 26-12, on Phelps Field. Undefeated in spirit, the Blue-and-White returned to home grounds and were trounced at the hands of the Morton Mustangs with a final score of 12-0. ln their final game of the year, in spite of a brilliant first half. the Pirates lost to the Huskies of Oak Park, 19-0.

Pirates in apprenticeship Sporting a hard-fighting, well-rounded squad, the fresh-soph football players won one, lost four, and tied two of their games. With L. F. Slimmer, H. Dixon, and F. Wrohke as coaches, the curtain- raisers developed into a renowned and respected squad. Bob Stende1's flashy 78-yard dash in the opener at LaGrange set up their first 6-6 tie. The following week, the Pirates were whitewashed by Highland Park, 20-0, hut they came back for their first win, 20-18, at Thornton's expense. After pacing Evanston for the first three quarters, the Blue-and-Wlhite finally succumbed to the Evanston 'Wildkits hy a score of 21-14. However, when the underclassmen met New Trier, the Pirates suffered a stinging 21-0 defeat. When the Mortonians visited Proviso, the Mustangs had all they could do to tie the Bucs, 18-18. Oak Park, which claimed many lopsided scores, beat the sophs 25-12 in a hotly contested battle. Hack row: Principe, Cardosi, Deigan, Davies, Carlson, DeLap, Younger, Passarella, Caruso.

The Hatley-Matte aggregation, the Jay-Vees, battled their way to an impressive four-win and four-loss finish of the football season. They opened their season with Niles varsity and were defeated hy a score of 37-6. Not allowing this loss to discourage them, the junior Bucs came back to trounce Leyden, 26-0. - Bloom proved too strong and the Pirates' lost, 1?-13. The next three were triumphant weeks, for the Hatley-Matte men dfefeated Evanston, 13-6, New Trier, 20-0, and Morton, 20-7. The climax of the 1946 season was the thrilling game' with the ,lay-Vees of Oak Park which the Blue-and-Wfhite lost 26-6. Page 139 These are the thrills of a football game Page 140 1.

Page 141 FRE HMAN SQUAD . . . pint-size Pirates When an eager crowd of boys answered the call for freshman football candidates, Coaches Bryan, Chambers, and Bice had their annual 'gheadachew of whittling down the group to a squad of about seventy. Emphasis was made on fundamentals as the squad was introduced to football in the ensuing weeks. In their first encounter the Baby Bucs were beaten, l8-7. The following two events were identical in score, the frosh losing to both Evanston and New Trier, 25-0. Finally the Peewee Pirates retaliated by edging out the Morton Mustangs, 14-13, for their first win. ln the final game of the season, the tables again were turned on the frosh as Oak Park overshadowed them, 7-6.

WVe're ready if you are The inexperienced Pirate Varsity eagers, coached by S. O. Storby, fought through their 1946-47 season with some bitter losses, but with unshaken team spirit. The basketeers opened their season on home grounds by crushing a supposedly strong Maine squad, 44-27, and topping the York Barons, 47-32. Traveling to Elgin the following week, the Pirates were edged from victory by a close margin of 36-34. Back on local hardwood, the Pirates faced the Huskies of Oak Park and defeated them, 37-31. Then Waukegan, one of the Suburban League's strong- est quintets, stopped the Bucs, 40-25, on Waukegan's battlefield. The Proviso five won the last pre-holiday game from Thornton, -1-7-36. ln the 1Vaukegau tournament on January 1, they placed third. Then the Blue-and-White lost to Highland Park, Evanston, and New Trier. ln two spectacular games, Proviso whipped Downers Grove, 48-26, and came close to upsetting the powerful Morton Mustangs, 42- 44, in the most brilliant game of the season. After losing to Oak Park, the Blue Blazers came back to wreck WHUk8gHIl,S 19-game winning streak with a 41-39 edgeout. Although bowing afterward to Thornton, Evans- to11, and New Trier in closely contested games, Proviso thoroughly trimmed Highland Park with a record-breaking final count of 73-35.

The 1946-47 Jay-Vee quintet had a good season. ln the inaugural game, the Buc basketeers clipped the Leyden varsity, 35-33. Then Coach Rex Griepis Pirates raided Oak Park, capturing a 36-25 victory. Back again in home territory, the squad trailed Waukegan's junior Bulldogs closely, losing by only one point. In the next few weeks, Proviso swept forward into a series of triumphs, defeating Thornton, 43-34, routing Dundee, 40-31, and walking over Evanston, 42-21. After that the Bucs dropped two games-one to Morton, 39-29, and one to Oak Park, 36-28. They recovered by walloping Thornton, 43-25. . The Fresh-Soph basketball team, cur tain-raiser at all Varsity games, was over- whelmed by strong opposition in a poor sea son. They got off to a promising start by downing Maine, 41-26, but in the next game a lightweight team of experienced juniors and seniors from York defeated 'the sophs, 30-23. The underclassmen hit bottom when the Oak Park Huskies administered a stinging 42-12 blow. Although most of the fol- lowing games were losses, the sophs turned in some good performances, as in the close games with Thornton and Highland Park, and the 29-25 victory over Downers Grove. .Page 145 FRE HMEN . . .H1e yearling hardwood squad Back row: Abbs, Vena, Fedro, McCullough, Johnson.

Page 146 Enthusiasm for basketball was high among the freshmen this year. 115 boys, an unusually large group, reported to Coach Stanley Rattenhury for basic cage training. To open their season, the LBahy Bucse ventured into foreign territory, and were handed a 25-13 defeat by New Trier. The next two scraps, with Oak Park and Waukegan, found Proviso's scoring 35-29 and 38-27 respectively. The Pirates' first win came- on home hardwood when they nosed out Thornton, 34-32. Follow- ing this, Leyden, Morton, and Evanston rode over the Blue- and-White. With last minute recoveries, Provisoi ,edged Oak Park 32-31 and New Trier 31-30.

Although many powerful cross-country teams have risen in the state, this year Proviso continued to maintain her enviable record. Herb Semper, one of the four top runners in the state, breezed through the season, succumbing only to the state champion, and then by only a slim margin. During the season, the thinclads lost to LaGrange, Schurz, and Maine by close scores. Hitting a winning stride, the harriers outran Bloom, Leyden, Argo, Evanston, and Morton. The high spot in the season was the Proviso Invitational, in which the Pirates proved to be the best of 15 of the top squads in this area. In the state sectional meet, held here for the first time this year, the Monilaw-men headed by Herb Semper, who finished first, overpowered all but Bloom, which sneaked off with first place honors. The Fresh-Sophs maintained an undefeated record in dual meets. The scores of the Varsity meets are as follows: LaGrange .... 27 Proviso ...... 29 schurz ..,,.. 23 proviso ...... 34.

Page 147 SWIM tank stars break prep records Featuring two of the finest prep swimmers in the state, the Proviso swim team came through with an outstanding record. Ed LaBerge, considered one of the best swimmers in the state and the best to come to Proviso, broke six pool records, four were in the fifty-yard free style, one in the forty-yard, and one in the hundred-yard. Going through the season undefeated until the Suburban League meet, Jim Seegers, backstroke star, stood out as one of the top contenders for the state title. As a team, the varsity-boys managed to win four and lose seven. competing against some of the toughest competition available. All of the lneets were hotly- contested and lost bv a slim margin.

Buc pin-boys stay on top The wrestling season got under way early in December, when preliminary bouts were staged and training was started. Top positions were filled by a chal- lenge system, in which a wrestler could try to defeat the leader of his Weight class, and thus take over a first-string position.

Powerful pitchers will be the pride of the 1947 edition of the baseball squad. Dick Janasky, who pitched a no-hit game in the state tournament, promises to be the chief hurler on the staff. Billy Jefferson and Ray Shilkaitis, who have hurled no-hit games, and Ben Hill, who boasts a wicked curve ball, will be up from the frosh-soph squad to back Janasky and Roger Lucas, the two returning veterans. Behind the plate, Mueller will be hack from last year's squad, and Pitra and Jacobs are expected to lend a hand on the receiving duties. The infield will be much the same as last yearls with Blasius at first, Cofield at second, Sampson at short and possibly Agster who alternated with Heinrich of last year's squad. ,lack Soderberg, up from the Sopho- more squad, is expected to give Cofield and Agster a tough battle for their respective posts. In the outfield Brown and lVlcFeely are back, and the post vacated by Jim Charlesworth will probably go to either Dick Mueller when he isn't catching or ,lack Soderberg if he doesnit talie over one of the infield posts.

Golf eam ready The return of many of the boys who Went through to the State District semi-final last year, only to be beaten by Morton by a slim one-run margin, appears fas the Provi goes to press! to promise a Hne season for Coach D. B. Appleton's varsity pillpounders. A11 inexperienced Fresh-Soph team of about 35 players is being organized by Coach Wrobke from the group of nearly two hundred underclassmen which turns out each spring. Elbert, Trantliam, and Bevan, promising second-string men from last year, are coming out agaill. The schedule for the year includes ten games, some of them practice games with freshman players only. Proviso's golfers, coached by Andy Puplis, are in training for a full spring schedule as the Provi goes to press. The team plans a series of seven league meets, from April 30 through May 27. These will probably be preceded by several warm-up meets, with LaGrange, Riverside, York, and Glenbard. The club-Wielders also hope to play in the district meet, the state meet at Champaign, and a league tournament at Highland Park. Golf meets are held on various nearby courses, the Proviso home meets are played at the Westwvard Ho club near Northlake. Orr and lVlcCarrell, returning seniors, average 86 and 88 respectively. A top freshman, Roderick, averaged 83 through last summer. Among spring scenes at Proviso- Sluggers line up ready to clout the nearest roundish object.

LIFE SAVING . . . in The nucleus for a good 1947 tennis squad seems, as the Provi goes to press, to be on hand for practice, Coach Bennett is welcoming back a number of such players as Bob Grupe, Paul French, Fred Most, Dave Stewart, and Gordon Brif. ln the last two or three seasons, intramural tournaments and other activities have succeeded in popularizing the sport. Back row: Grupe, Ivins, T. An- derson, Stewart, Bird, Gill, R. Smith. Front row: French, Kempster, Kapost, Grosser, Most, Cozad, Walton.

Hagen switches from swim mentor to life-saving instructor. During the following weeks the fundamentals of life saving are first taught and then practiced. Age and ability to pass various final examinations determine whether the life guards get the Junior or Senior Life-Saving Certificate.

Because of the return of such veterans as Herb Semper and James Brown, and with an up-and-coming track star like Peter Malz, it appears as the Proui goes to press that the Proviso track team should have a successful season. Herb Semper, cross-country star in the fall, and one of the finest milers in the state during the spring, shouldn't have much trouble this season, since most of his toughest com- petition graduated last year. If James Brown continues to jump in the 20-foot-and-up bracket this year as he did last year, he should be tops for the Suburban. Also, Jim is one of the best, if not the best, of the hundred-yard and 220-yard dash men in the Suburban League. Since in many of the big events of the year Jim will be limited to two events, Peter Malz, newly discovered dash star, will probably relieve Brown of one of his races to allow him to enter the broad jump. The Proviso squad as a whole is not expected to top the outstanding record made last year, since the-team is not so strong in as many events, but it may cause a few upsets in the big events during the year.
