Amid this mad hubbub, created by ringing phones and harassed people, the office assistants, one for each hour, managed to remain courteous and calm throughout busy days. STUDENT ASSISTANTS BECAME increasingly necessary with the influx of new pupils to Provo High. Chemistry lab assistants handled special assignments, such as collecting assignments, calling roll, and helping with experiments. The library assistants checked out books and assisted students in finding help. WHEN 11:25 ROLLED around, students from all directions dashed for the ever-popular lunch line to receive their tray of “goodies.” The excellent meals, nourishing and well-balanced, were served to a thousand students, more or less, by the efficient lunch ladies. THROUGH DRIZZLING RAIN, sleet and snow, driving crowded buses and surrounded by noisy kids, the dependable bus drivers of P.H.S. were able to transport students to and from school and still remain calm and collected. The increase in population of Provo High this year called for more buses and bus drivers. SPARKLING WINDOWS, gleaming floors, and shining basins were the results of the efforts of our faithful custodians, who spent long hours each day after school cleaning rooms and halls. During an early morning class lab assistants David Carter, Daryl Trotter, Edith Dawson, and Susan Carter, directed by Mr. Bench, prepare an experiment to be used that day in chemistry classes.
