AFTER nearly thirty years, Provo Ctiy Schools are losing Superintendent J. C. Moffitt. Provo High School, especially, will feel the loss because Dr. Moff.tt has always been very considerate and kind to our students. He was, in fact, our principal from about 1931 on to 1937. He began his career with us when our old plant down on Third West and First South was in use. Since then, he has helped us build a sizable faculty (over sixty), and he has helped Principal Tregcagle in the directing, designing, and building of our new plant. Early in the fall before digging, those of us who took physical education saw Mr. Tregeagle showing the superintendent around the groundwork for the new wing. EVEN CLOSER to the axis of our school and to the devel-opement of us students was Principal D. V. Tregeagle. He and his assistant, Kenneth Weight, Jr., served our school expertly and efficiently. Mr. Tregeagle handled executive affairs, while Mr. Weight worked with us personally in presiding over our Board of Control, giving advice to individuals and groups and repeating numerous announcements over the public address system. Seated: Clinton E. Harding and Shirley Paxman; Standing: Bliss Crandall, Merrill Christopherson, and Arch Bowden, members of the Provo Board of Education, pause a moment during a regular meeting to oblige photographer.

RUNNING A SCHOOL DISTRICT was a much more demanding job than one would think. It was like running a city. As the only public high school in the Provo School District, our school was a city. We had human traffic jams, tempers and temperaments, our own inter-classroom communication system, a newspaper, and, above all, growth. Very few men could cope with such a changing city, but the superintendent of the Provo City School District, Dr. J. C. Moffitt. was qualified. His able leadership and progressive ideas adapted readily to transition and produced solutions which operated to better our schools. Everyone profited from his monthly meetings with the Board of Education. H. J. Boyack, assistant superintendent in charge of business affairs, lightened Dr. Moffitt’s load by preparing an annual budget for Provo’s schools. He bought supplies and equipment, and issued the monthly payroll. Sherman W. Wing, administrative assistant, was in charge of secondary education. He helped to select school district employees. Both men helped Dr. Moffitt run his district smoothly and efficiently. Mrs. Merl Dean, supervisor of the Provo school-lunch program, saw that every student in the district could obtain a balanced school-lunch. Justin Winkler, superintendent of buildings and grounds, had the earthy job of keeping all school buildings and grounds artfully trim and neat. Kenneth YVeight Sr. was the director of pupil personnel. These people worked as one to keep Provo School District progressive, and, in doing so, made Provo High worthwhile. 1 Superintendent J. C. Moffitt has served his position well for twenty-seven years as superintendent of Provo City schools. He has been successful in his work and is retiring this year from a job well-done. Provo District Loses Dr. Moffitt Our school district was managed by two important men. Sherman Wing directed the secondary- schools in the Provo City District, while H. J. Boyack handled the business affairs of the Board of Education. Mrs. Dean, supervisor of the Provo school-lunch program, Mr. Winkler, superintendent of grounds and buildings, and Mr. Weight, Sr., Superintendent of Schools, contemplate a recent progress report. —11—
