Faculty Finds Enjoyment in Hobbies, Relaxationg Participates in Clubs, Chur After a heavy schedule each day, many of Pro- vineis teachers found time for hobbies and relaxa- tion. While several faculty members delighted in sewing and cooking, others found diversion in the water sports of skiing, boating, and fishing on the reservoir. Hobbies varied from woodworking to raising horses and English Shepherd dogs. Art en- thusiasts enjoyed painting with water colors and oils and exhibited their works at local art show- ings. Other members participated in theatrical and musical organizations throughout the city. Grow- ing roses, bowling, flight instructing, and reading historical novels provided enjoyment for many other instructors. Provine's faculty was very active in civic and private clubs throughout Jackson and busied them- selves with projects in these organizations. Also, many teachers were found in teaching positions in the Sunday schools on Sunday morning. Others sang in church choirs and served on various committees within the churches. 42 1 VP1 'I. .fx ., 1 It's all in the way you hold your mouth, grunts Mrs. Morris as she adds body-English to her ball in hopes of a strike.

Profs Promote Philologyg Implant Desire To Achieve To maintain Provine's and ,lackson,s reputation as leaders in Mississippi high school education and to provide a pleasant and informative atmosphere for students to learn constituted the ulterior purpose of Provineis forty-five faculty members. Joined by seven newcomers, the faculty realized its responsibility of instilling a desire in pupils to take advantage of their educational opportunities and to form a sound philosophy in each of their lives. As daily duties these teachers planned lesson as- signments, checked papers, and kept grade books up-to-date. They attended four departmental meet- ings during the year and served on various com- mittees, each with the sole mission of providing bet- ter schools and environments for Jacksonis pupils. In addition to their regular duties such as ad- ministering, grading, and recording tests and check- ing rolls, Provine's faculty spent part of their time with extra duties within the school. These teachers functioned as club sponsors, departmental chairmen, and student practice-teacher supervisors. They were also assigned watch duties to keep stu- dents out of the rooms and halls before school, to maintain discipline in the halls and cafeteria during lunch period, and to supervise detention hall in the afternoons.
