AS WE FORGED our way down the main hall during September, a hall bristling with juniors and seniors and bubbling over with an effervescence of new sophomores, we all became aware of the new problems and the new conditions that faced us. Our school was not as we had left it in the spring of '63. More classes were being offered; Provo High had revived an oil painting class which had been dormant for many years, and never before had our school known the exist-ance of two bands. The traditional problem of sitting around the main hall on the edge of the planter box and in the window sills was at least partially alleviated by the installation of the green chairs we have enjoyed these months. Study halls, illegal at Provo High in previous years, proved to be both an asset and a great nuisance; they gave us invaluable study time—especially well-used during test weeks and cram periods— but also they seemed to encourage the hall parties that occurred very frequently. This year, the bookstore hours, second period and seventh period only, didn’t hamper our steady demand for school supplies, such as pencils, pens, and typing and theme paper as they have in the past because of the vending machines that we found conveniently placed just outside the glass door.

Producing one play by William Shakespeare each year was a traditional activity that the students at Provo High School especially enjoyed attending and participating in.

Provo High students found that their new telephone booths were seldom out of use. Especially was this true after games, assembly practices, play rehearsals, and many other activities that went on after school hours. WE WERE LUCKY' if we took the chance to wander around the campus about the time school started, because the scenes that presented themselves then are only history now. For instance, our broad, flat parking lot is no longer broad and flat; it’s just broad, the flatness taken away by the tall spires that support lights. Most of us can recall the many times that we had dressed in the very finest that we could muster for a school dance, and upon arriving in the gigantic PHS parking lot and stepping lightly out of the car, we found ourselves ankle-deep in snow or slush, the reason being that we wouldn’t see the ground. Later in the year, all such experiences were over for good: the age of parking lot lights had arrived. The tall and stately lamps gave ample illumination in any weather. During the day, it was conceivable that the lights could be overlooked—many cars sport crumpled bumpers as evidence of the fact—but it was impossible to overlook the football field. The grass and the track were the same as always, but the fence that surrounds the field and the bleachers that bedeck the far side of the track illustrated the deep sense of pride that we knew materially for the first time during this year. Looking further around to the back of the building, we saw the series of holes, piles of bricks, and hints of structure that took more form every week as our mighty E shape groaned and grew.
