Jody Mikkelson and Clifford Maag practice an African chant to be heard in the school play A Raisin in the Shu.” This vivid dance scene was the viewers’ favorite scene in the play.

JONES — Speech, Forensics, Director of school plays, Assembly Committee, sponsor U.N. and Forensics clubs. With no time to lose. Lin Johnson quickly applies Judy Heal’s black make-up, just as she has for Colleen Croft, Clifford Maag, and others in the cast of “A Raisin in thr Sun.” Some were dubious about using white people to portray black people, but the play was a great success.

In most art classes, students worked with ceramics, clay, charcoal and pencil. In addition to these classes, a special painting class was taught. Here, students of this class concentrate individually to develop a personal style. “I MIGHT AS WELL throw this one away and start all over again.” This became a familiar phrase for almost all General Art and Painting Class students. We worked with materials that are easily found in grade schools such as clay and crayons. However, unlike grade school kids, we used a model instead of imagination. COMMERCIAL ART afforded us many trying experiences. In our first attempts at lettering, we sometimes forgot to block, and therefore ran out of space. After many starts, our posters were finished to everyone’s satisfaction. WHEN WE FIRST became acquainted with our Speech I class, we were dubious and a wee bit frightened. However, after a few weeks, speech became our favorite class. We went into public speaking, demonstrations, pantomimes, etc. By the time we became Speech II students, we were old timers in the profession. We directed our own scenes, did characterizations, and helped back stage at school productions and assemblies. PROVO HIGH’S DEBATERS scoured the libraries, interviewed doctors, went into huddles, and came up with the pros and cons about medicare for the aged. A small recipe box. trademark of a debater, never failed to impress those of us who admired facility with words and with ideas. Perserverance In Art Brings Results Talented Mike Coleman gives some fine pointers on painting to Thom Gatcnby. Mike has entered many of his paintings in contests throughout this area. His talent is especially in demand at Provo High for drawings in the yearbook and school paper; scenery for plays; and signs. CLESTON RIGBY — Commercial Art, General Art, Yearbook Art.

The boys are part of the group who, under Mr. Cornaby’s direction, is replanting lawn behind the school near the biology pond. The lawn was removed from the area where the new “D” wing is beiny constructed and, placed at the location which it was, it added considerably to the appearance of the campus.
