Merchants Aid Education Week
As a unique feature of Proviso high school's celebration of American Education week, 50 merchants throughout the township will display pictures of "Proviso in Action" in their windows during the week of November 8-15.
Cooperating with the high school in making this project successful, these merchants will exhibit photographs of hundreds of Proviso students at work during an ordinary school day. No two merchants will have the same set of pictures; distribution will be made in Forest Park, Maywood, Melrose Park, Bellwood, Hillside, Berkeley, and Westchester.
Above each set of pictures will appear "American Education Week, November 8-15" and below will be the local slogan, "What Proviso Builds Builds Proviso."
These pictures have all been taken by a student photographer, Charles Schonert, a senior, under the supervision of Miss Florence B. Williams, head of the modem language department and chairman of Proviso's curriculum committee and Richard L. Daniels, public relations chairman, all three pictured above. They represent every phase of life in Proviso and every activity in which a student participates. Each is accompanied by a slogan further explaining the story the picture tells. They are interesting, instructive, and revealing.
Displaying of these pictures will be only a part of Proviso's observation of American Education Week. Celebration will officially open during the half of the Proviso-Oak Park football game when the 100-piece marching band, accompanied by its eight majorettes, will execute patriotic maneuvers, calling attention to the national slogan this year, "Education for a Strong America."
Climax of the week's observance will come Thursday evening, Nov. 13, when Proviso will fling wide its doors for its annual Open House. Freshmen will go to school that evening, and all parents and friends of education
are urged to visit classes. Proviso will also celebrate National Book Week at the same time, and the library will feature a Book Fair all that week.
