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.
