Proviso Welcomes Two New Deans To Proviso Ms. Montoya was born in New Mexico where she lived until she attended Adams State College in Alamosa, Colorado where she earned her BA in sociology, anthro- pology, and physical educa- tion. She then went on to obtain her MA at Xavier University in Cincinnati in special education and her post graduate work was done at Northern Illinois University in the field of administration. Still more interesting, Ms. Montoya enjoys horseback riding in New Mexico and she has even taken airplane les- sons. Before becoming a dean here at Proviso West, she spent 7 years at Proviso East as a special education teacher and as a CWT Coordinator along with being the student council sponsor. Even though West is very different from East, Ms. Montoya especially likes working with the friendly people here at West, and she takes pride in fullfilling a traditionally male role. As a former graduate of Pro- viso West, Mr. Ulicny finds it interesting to be a dean in- stead of a student. His exper- ience as a resource teacher for behavior disorders has taught him to believe in discipline with a human face. Mr. Ulicny has set a fine example for all Proviso West students, past and present, by obtaining his BA at Miami University and both his MA in special education and his MA in educa- tion administration at Northeastern Illinois University. He has taught at Proviso East and at Proviso West, contributing his tal- ents at both schools as swim coach. Mr. Ulicny is active in golf and tennis and will forever be a dedicated Cubs fan. The 1985 MURAL Staff wishes Ms. Mon- Mass, Mr. Simmons, Mr. Gilbert, and Mrs, toya and Mr. Ulicny the best of luck as Dirks for all their help and encourage- deans here at Proviso West now and in ment over the years. the many years to come.

Health ducatlon Do you know . . . . . what cardiopulmonary resuscitation is? . . . the early warning signals of a heart attack? . . . how to make the distress signal for choking? . . . what a cafe coronary is? Each year thousands of Americans die suddenly. Most of these deaths could be prevented if more people were trained to do CPR. The Health Education classes at Proviso West have incorporated one week of specialized training into the curriculum. Under the direction of Ms. Garramone, R.N. and health instructor and Fireman Frank Schnurstein of the Hillside Fire Department, students re- ceive training and learn techniques that help to save lives. Twenty- six students successfully completed the certification requirements during the first semester and earned the right to carry CPR cards. Health education is offered to all students and focuses on the study of human ecology and health, human growth and development, prevention and control of disease, public and environmental health, consumer health, safety education and disaster survival, mental health, personal health habits, and substance abuse. f ..

We,ve Got Legs This year, the student council sponsored a fund raiser entitled, Sexy Legs Contest. Seven male Proviso Seniors were chosen to expose their legs for the judging. Their identities were kept secret, and the only identifing mark was the number placed by their legs. The students contributed money to the can, marked with the same number as the legs, to choose the winner. The winner of the 1985 Sexy Legs Contest was number 5, and the runner up was number 7. But, who do these legs belong to? Your guess is as good as mine, and the only information we can give you is the name of the seven contestants. The rest is up to you. The names, in alphabetical order are: Torn Alajoki, Larry Blumburg, Rodney Bradberry, John Kennedy, Jim Long, Roger Romanelli, and Tom Walsh. Who do you think has the sexiest legs? 175
