 ■ A new wing, to be known as D Wing is under construction behind B wing. LET’S FORGET who we are for just one moment, so that we can take a long, close, and objective look at our school, our Provo High of 1964, through our memories, aided by the eyes of this volume. The staff of the Provost has chosen as the theme for this edition OUR CHANGING CAMPUS. The words aren’t really very fancy; they say simply that our year was one of innovation, of conversion, and of transfiguration. This has been an eventful year for the people concerned with our school from the top man in administration to the most remote Bullpup. The constant thought of change has, in some way, been connected with every single phase of school: activities, curriculum, stu-dentbody and faculty. Those of us who have been here for two or three years have seen the causes and effects that have climaxed this year in more detail than the sophomores, but perhaps the sophomores have even more pride in the fact that they were one of the major factors of change. DURING THE YEAR, we were all conscious of the reason for the addition of a new wing— we were just out-growing our facilities. Every year, the sophomore class seems to outnumber the other classes in our school, but this year, the influx of sophomores increased our student-body from an overcrowded twelve hundred to a colossal fifteen hundred, the increase being the first of a long line of surprises to follow. for an Increasing Student Body As Vic, the school mascot, and a cheerleader cast a “graven image” into the Homecoming bonfire, both flames and hopes reach high into the sky.

Provo High students found that their new telephone booths were seldom out of use. Especially was this true after games, assembly practices, play rehearsals, and many other activities that went on after school hours. WE WERE LUCKY' if we took the chance to wander around the campus about the time school started, because the scenes that presented themselves then are only history now. For instance, our broad, flat parking lot is no longer broad and flat; it’s just broad, the flatness taken away by the tall spires that support lights. Most of us can recall the many times that we had dressed in the very finest that we could muster for a school dance, and upon arriving in the gigantic PHS parking lot and stepping lightly out of the car, we found ourselves ankle-deep in snow or slush, the reason being that we wouldn’t see the ground. Later in the year, all such experiences were over for good: the age of parking lot lights had arrived. The tall and stately lamps gave ample illumination in any weather. During the day, it was conceivable that the lights could be overlooked—many cars sport crumpled bumpers as evidence of the fact—but it was impossible to overlook the football field. The grass and the track were the same as always, but the fence that surrounds the field and the bleachers that bedeck the far side of the track illustrated the deep sense of pride that we knew materially for the first time during this year. Looking further around to the back of the building, we saw the series of holes, piles of bricks, and hints of structure that took more form every week as our mighty E shape groaned and grew.
