As sophomores we were called “bull-pup”, and we felt quite lost in this crowded school, which numbered more than a thousand. As juniors we were first in line at registration. Among us were those who would letter in sports, chair Junior Prom committees, and cram for national merit exams. As seniors, we viewed the last year with eager anticipation. Most of the coveted offices fell to us. Graduation closed an important phase of our life — three years of soulshaking decision. For us, it marked an end and a beginning. TEACHERS AND ADMINISTRATORS at Provo High set the “tone” of the school. We shall not forget the kindly counsel given us by Superintendent Moffitt after his return from visiting the schools of the Soviet Union. After Principal Tregeagle called us into a special assembly and talked to us in “man to man” fashion, we thought soberly about our roles as mature young adults. Our school day invariably began with Mr. Weight’s friendly “Good Morning”, and we soon learned that these people with their endless rolls (bookkeepers, chaperones, coaches, advisors, and shoulders to cry on) were not only our teachers but our friends. STUDENT LIFE is the title for all of our school activities. They made our life interesting and gave us respite from our studies. We had assemblies almost every week. Sometimes colleges presented them; sometimes our own clubs participated; sometimes other high schools brought exchange assemblies; but the highlights were those glamorous programs that were dreamed up by the classes. School plays were produced. We cried in “Of. Mice and Men” and thrilled to the simplicity of “Our Town.” Our dances were probably the most exotic affairs of the year. We played .hard, and through it all we grew together.

THIS IS OUR SCHOOL, Provo High. It is located at the foot of the Wasatch Mountains in the heart of the Rockies. The setting in which it lies makes Provo High very special and personal to us. In our spare moments we look out of the windows on the east and see the changing colors on the cliffs and the reflections from the sunset which crown the mountain peaks with glory. Just to the north is giant, snowcapped Tim-panogos, the sleeping maiden of the Wasatch. In the summer some of us join in the annual hike to the top, from which we can get a true birds’-eye view of the valley. In the winter we love to ski from her sunny slopes and fall in her tinselled drifts. UNIVERSITY AVENUE, which is just in front of our school, connects further south with Center Street, “the main drag” to most of us high school students. After every game and on most nights you can find us driving up and down Center honking horns and looking for that special somebody. JUST ACROSS THE street, clearly visible from our school’s front lawn, is the B.Y.U. football stadium, where all of our home football games are played by permission of our town’s big university. The buildings of this university are on the hill just above the stadium, and over half of our graduates will probably go there to college when we leave Provo High School. SOUTH OF US is the L.D.S. Seminary. During our three years here about a thousand out of thirteen hundred of our students take classes in this building. The activities and classes of the Seminary help keep the spiritual side of life a part of our every day thoughts. Seminary graduation is held prior to the high school graduation in the spring of the year. OUR SCHOOL BUILDING itself is a new structure with acres of shining tiles and windows — a beautiful plant in a beautiful setting — but our school is more than that, infinitely more. It is the hundreds of teachers, past and present, who have toiled to impart a little learning; the decades of students, some of whom we knew and loved, who have left their mark upon the pages of its history; and the activities that, having been established for the first time, through years of repetition have now grown into the traditions of Provo High.
