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.

DEPARTMENTS FEW GRADUATES CAME from Provo High during its first few years. The first graduating class boasted less than twenty students; each student knew ever ' other student in the school by his first name. The tiny school’s administration consisted of a principal and a secretary. The principal taught occasionally, counseled, and did his best to supervise the school. Only the necessary classes were taught because the staff was not large enough to handle any more. But as the population of Provo grew, the school had to grow. Today, Provo High has over fifteen hundred students. The administration consists of a principal, an assistant principal, an assistant superintendent, four counselors, a secretary, and several helpful office workers. In addition to these, over fifty teachers compose the faculty. Instead of just a required program, students can enroll in well over one hundred assorted subjects offered by approximately fifteen different departments. They provide a comprehensive education with which a student can compete in the changing world of today. They also include enrichment courses in music, the arts, and French. Our school has changed from a country high school to a large city high school and is still undergoing great changes today to be able to compete with a new and bright tomorrow. Mr. Twitchell tells Linda Snow and Jim Maland about the ripple tank, a water-holding tank with a flat glass bottom. The water surface acts as a lens when it’s rippled; light passing through it is curved and brought to a focus on the white screen below.
