Orchestra A Best Year “RISE AND SHINE!” became the daily pep motto for reluctant members of the orchestra, who had to be seated, w'armed up, and ready to go by 7:45 a.m. each morning. We were never quite sure of ourselves so many hours before dawn, especially in the winter months, when many of us had to walk on slippery sidewalks and carry books and instruments in cold, benumbed hands. Somehow, though, the ice seemed to crack up and melt rapidly away when we began to play. With better instrumentation than we had had for a long time, we seemed to catch the thrill of accomplishment from one another as if it were a communicable disease, a disease for which there could never be a cure. Almost everyone of our orchestra concerts was a booming success. Audiences had growrn in number from a scattered handful of patrons to a relatively large group w'ho responded appreciatively to our enthusiasm. IF WE LEARNED NOTHING except for the better techniques of marching in our “B” Band, we accomplished quite a bit. We surely drilled enough. What with marking time, counting off, learning to counter march, and to turn corners in some semblance of order, most of us became well trained for many colorful parades to come. Training seriously rewarded us with trips to flairing festivals and many exciting parades. Adding a great deal to Provo High’s “School Spirit” is the Pep Band. They played at every home game making the Provo High section louder and more enthusiastic.

Chemists’” Experiments Test Laws Dorinda Haines, Bruce Hall, and Dennis Hunter, experiment in the chemistry lab with many acids, bases, and salts. Understanding teachers, good equipment, and patience added to the success of the experiments we did. EVERY DAY OUR biology class learned new and interesting things such as how to draw cells and how to understand the “theory of evolution.” We often shrieked, yelled, and turned pale (boys as well as girls) when we cautiously explored the insides of the wiggly worm and mysterious frog. PLANTS AND ANIMALS were required subjects of the botany and the zoology classes. In botany, we explored the depths of plants and found that under microscopes, flowers possess stamens, pistils, and circulatory systems,, which make them very complex as well as beautiful. By studying the bones and systems of animals, we gained a better understanding of our own bodies. FOR MOST OF US, chemistry was our steady diet. We ate formulas for breakfast, equations for lunch, and theories for dinner. Chemistry was a challenge and many of us worked harder than ever before to grasp its complexities because we knew we were living in a constantly changing world—one in which a knowledge of the chemical world might mean the difference between our total annihilation or our survival. —26—
