BRIGHAM YOUNG UNIVERSITY HIGH SCHOOL PROVO, UTAH We, the students of B. Y. High, wish to dedicate the 1957 Wildcat to you because of your exceptional service to our school. We deeply appreciate your diligence in striving for improve- ments and in making plans for the future. A few of the innovations and improvements introduced during your tenure of office were the modification of school curriculum; revision of the report card; a better understanding among students, teachers, and parents; revamping of extra-curricular activity fi- nancing; a revised constitution for our school government; our first school emblem, school flag, and manual; reorganization of School Council providing an atmosphere conducive to cooperative effort and compatible objectives; and an up-to-date compilation of the history of B. Y. High. We have observed and respected your intelligence, good judg- ment, power of discernment, and many other commendable qualities. You have helped us as a student body to realize our duty to stand by right principles in spite of personal sacrifice, and you have brought us to a more mature understanding of life. Your wholehearted participation has been greatly appreciated in school activities such as assemblies (Elvis, the Admiral, Tuba player in the German band); ball games, and pep rallies. You have said, Half my heart will remain at B. Y. High, and what you have given to us will always be cherished. You have been highly respected and admired by all who have associated with you. As you answer the higher call of duty, may your future bring success and happiness. B. Y. High Student Body
