“Great Oaks from Tiny Acorns Grow” “TT7ATCH Us Grow” was the slogan of one of the early classes at VV the Provo High School. Have you been watching? If not, let us review some of the developments. In 1910-11 Superintendent Eggertsen’s office was removed from the Parker School and put into the Central. Four class rooms were opened to receive the overflow from the other four district schools. Frank Bennett was the principal and taught the eighth grade; Ida Coombs had a class of beginners; Pearl Snow and Arthur Goodwin taught two intermediate grades. Those who graduated that year from the eighth grade are proud to call themselves the first graduates from the Central. However, since we have been organized on the Six-six plan it is but fair to date the life of the Provo High on that proud day in September, 1911, when all the eighth grade pupils of Provo were assembled at the Central and one year of the Junior High work began in earnest. There were about one hundred and eighty pupils, and four teachers. Frank Bennett, the principal, taught arithmetic; Aroh M. Thurman, United States History; Chas. H. Davis, geography; and Jennie Wilkins, English. Each teacher taught reading, spelling, penmanship, and hygiene to his home-room class. Faun Brimhall came one day each week to instruct in art, and J. R. Boshard came one period each day for music, the entire student body forming one rousing chorus; and to this veteran music-loving teacher is due largely the music appreciation for which Provo is so noted. That first year the classification of students began and has extended into the grade schools and recently into the ninth year. At the close of that first year, (May 1912) eighty-five boys and seventy-nine girls graduated from the eighth grade. In 1912-13 Arch M. Thurman became principal and a ninth year class was added. Work in domestic art began under the capable teacher, Arena Smart. Uniform dress was adopted and continued to he worn, until during the war the high cost of woolen materials made the uniform inpracticable. In 1912 began the yearly entertainment of the war veterans and pioneers, a custom that has continued until the present time. In the spring of this year the Board of Education presented Fairbanks’ Buffalo to be an ornament to the school hall. During 1913-14 Principal Thurman had charge of the ninth and tenth years and George Powelson became principal of the eighth. November 5, 1914, the domestic science department was established, owing to the united efforts of Board, parents, teachers and pupils; Miss Vivian Parkinson, teacher. Feeling keen'y the need of manual training, and hoping to arouse enthusiasm in its favor, the entire student body and faculty paraded the streets on May 2. 1915. Banners and yells made known our need. In the fall of 1915 the woodwork department opened with Mr. Huish as instructor. The same year oral expression found a place. 1916. The school nurse arrived. In May 1917, Principal Thurman resigned, and Superintendent Eggertsen became principal of the High School with Morrill George assisting. E if 8 TT a 8 ft o H Jtt : JUL I! : : a « •vvvvv
