DEDICATION jO the courageous Trappers who ( blazed the trails into this valley over which have come sturdy people to settle and beautify the land of the Rocky Mountains, do we dedicate this history of the activities of the Provo High School of nineteen hundred twenty-six and twenty-seven.

Hand clasps, hugs, and smiles prevailed throughout the day, the memory of which will last forever. A great deal of excitement was provided when the student body were informed about the bulldog mascot which was soon to be presented to them. The appinted time finally arrived and what a vicious bulldog it was; it really has the prettiest big brown eyes. We do certainly thank the alumni organization for this pep-pro-motor and know that it will help make the spirit at the Provo High even more effective than it has been before. The alumni seem just as much a part of the P. II. S. as we do ourselves. They always support our activities so nobly and show such an interest in our welfare that they seem to buoy us up and give us strength. SEVKXTKKX OmnnfAT.

I reckon it looks like ut wuz the old Provo High School year book for 1927. Where did you find it? “Oh, it was in amongst them there old things of yours. 'Pell me about when you went to school there grandpa. What do all these funny pictures mean anyhow?” “Wal now, I ain’t got much time ’cause them there traps of mine need tendin’ to but I reckon I kin jest tell you a little. “You see we had had about three months of fine vacation and when the 13th of September came we were all ready for school. Of course we were down to school bright and early in the morning and believe me, Gidyanthean, it shore did seem good to see all the old faces again. 1 reckon ’bout all we did wuz say “hello,” but we finally ended up by gettin’ all registered up for a year of study. “By September 16th school wuz really started, at least they were holdin’ classes. There w u z one bunch that called themselves the Dramatic Art Club. They held their first meeting Thursday, September 16, and decided to meet every other Thursday. By about Friday we wuz a gettin’ used to all the rooms changed around and they had their first assembly. After Mr. Harmon got through welcoming everybudy, why then there student body officers, yell, that’s them right there, had their chance at oratory. TWK.VTV “The what, grandpap?” “Why Gidyanthean, ye don’t mean to tell me ye don’t know what oratory means, do ye? Why, oratory is where they get up and talk without saying anything. Anyhow, I reckon they talk. Yes, Gidyanthean, and you know there wuz a man named Barnett down there, yep, that’s him right up there, and he sure did make everyone sorter clear out of the halls and quit sluffin studies. 1 reckon that man wuz some go-getter or else go-outer, all right. “By the time Friday September 17 come around, we wuz gettin’ down to business. They had the first chapel program. Yep, and they had their first council and appointed James Poulton yell master. Ya know, Gidyanthean there wuz somethin’ funny about Jim, seemed like he never had no trouble at all with the women, now me, I wuz always havin’ trouble, but not Jim, nope, he wuz a regular shiek. “The next Tuesday they decided to start up a little excitement by announcing the locker sale, but they had to postpone it after the students had stood in gang formation for about an hour. By Wednesday they wuz all practiced up, and yes sir, Gidyanthean, that locker sale wuz some sale. I still have some scars. “They wuzn’t satisfied with havin’ a locker sale and another assembly Friday, but they gave us a handshake. That wuz some hand-shake all right, Gidyanthean. After the experience they’d had with mob TWKSTT.OKK ■V? violence they never had no trouble at all at the hand-shake. “'I'he next Wednesday they had another council and appointed Iceland Spencen Dramatic Manager. Lessee now, it wuz about this time that they had class meetings and elected class officers. Of course I wuz nominated for president of the Senior class—what’s that?” “Oh, 1 wuz just a saying they sure did have their taste for knick-knacks, then grandpap.” “Well, Gidyanthean they did show good taste when they nominated me, if that’s what you mean, but as I wuz a sayin’, I wuz too modest to run and I jest thought I’d stay out of the limelight, and so they gave it to Barr Washburn. 1 hey elected Joe Allen president of the Junior class; Max Bown, president of the Sophomore class, and Max Zabriskie president of the Freshman class. “Friday we had the first football game of the year with Granite. It wuz some game too. The score wuz a tie. 6-6. Well, dern it, what are you laughin’ at now?” “Oh grandpappy, these here pictures is a scream. Don’t tell me that the originals wuz as funny as these.” “Wal, now, I don’t know as they are so funny. Look at this picture of the officers of the Girls’ Organization. I reckon you wouldn’t call them funny, would you?” Nope, they’re not so bad, who are they?” 6 TWKXTV-TWO “Of course they ain't so bad. They wuz elected about October 4. Of course Faun Bunnell bein’ vice-president of the student body wuz automatically president. Zola Martin, Eloise Myrup and Evelyn Startup are the others. That nice, friendly lookin’ lady there is Mrs. Wakefield, dean of girls. “You know, it seems like about all they did around there then wuz to have elections. On Tuesday, October 5, the Home Economics Club met and elected officers, and on Wednesday the Forensic Club held a meetin’ and elected officers. “Ya know, Gidy, there shure wuz some excitement down there when the band got their new uniforms. Talk about proud! They certainly wuz. “The next day after that wuz Thursday. We had a football game with Tintic. It wasn’t very exciting though, for them, ’cause their zero didn’t look much to the side of our 23. That night they had Dramatic Art Club. On Friday, October 15, there wuz a Mr. Joseph Nelson that gave a speech in chapel. “Ya know, Gidyanthean, that Girls’ Organization wuz a mighty peppy bunch. They wuz always doin’ somethin’. If it wasn’t working out some project for the school it wuz havin’ a party. On Saturday, October 16, they had their annual get-acquainted party. Everyone came, including families, and talk about wild parties—well, what they did at that party would hardly do to tell.” TWKVTY-TIIHKF “Well, almost, but then calmed down and studied ’till nesday, and then they gave body, includin’ the students, day! The teachers all went institute and the students all home and studied—what’s oh, yes, we studied nature, al they Wed-every-a hoii-up to stayed that— right. “The next Thursday, October 20, wuz National Navy Day, and we were so honored as to have Admiral Henry J. Zeigmer of the Pacific Battleship Fleet, here to speak to us. He sure did give a fine speech. That night the Dramatic Art Club held another meetin' but I couldn’t go ’cause I had to stay home and get my suit pressed for the Hallowe’en Carnival that wuz goin’ to be the next night. “Yep, Gidyanthean, if you don’t believe that that wuz a large day you should have been there. It wuz simply wonderful! In the mornin’ we had an assembly and they had all sorts of stunts and things, ’n then after assembly everybody went out in the hall and nearly got mobbed. Yes sir— there wuz booths on the right of me, booths on the left of me, booths in front of me, and booths behind me. “That afternoon there was a football game with Lehi. Of course we won 56-0. Ya know, Gidyanthean, that night we had a dance and it was almost worsen purgatory.” “Worse than which, Grandpap?” “My lands, Gidyanthean, don’t you know where that is, why that’s where you change trains. Say, but you’re dumb.” “Wal, Grandpap, I may be dumb I wk � y.povB but then I never had a chance to study nature an’ such.” “Never mind Gidyanthean. As 1 wuz tellin’ you. that night we had a grave-yard dance and Elaine Pax-tnan did fine with the decorations. “The next Thursday they had the school play, it was called, “The Goose Hangs High.” Say, that wuz a fine play. Fact is, it wuz simply excrumptious!” “What!” “Oh, I beg your pardon—that’s just some more of my education a poppin’ out. Wal, anyway, the next day wuz Friday and they had assembly. II. A. Dixon gave a speech and that afternoon everybody came to school all dressed up in little green caps, and the boys all had new, white pants. They only had two half-hour classes ’n then they had a pep rally. After that wuz over, the students all snake-danced to the cars.” “Say, Grandpap, did they teach snake-dancin’ too? That shure must of been some school, alright.” “Wal Gidy, it warn’t just like it sounds. Here’s some pictures of it here. Ya know, we lost the game and it shure wuz too bad, ’cause I veiled ’till I was hoarse. “The next Wednesday, November 10, they had the final league game with Spanish Fork. We won 51-0. The next day was Armistice Day. They had a special Armistice program, and Judge George Ballif spoke. Esse TWKXTY.KIV : “Friday wuz certainly a big day. In assembly that morain’ they had nominations for the popularity contest. Josinette Cook, Beth Man-gum, Margaret Whittemore, and Elaine Paxman were nominated. After the nominations they had separate meetin’s for the hoys and the girls. That night they had a band dance to raise money to pay for the band uniforms. “The next Monday the Forensic club held another meetin’. I couldn’t go though, ’cause 1 wuz too excited over the popularity contest. Alta Simmons wuz entered as the dark horse and she wuz a heavy favorite too. The contest waged strong for a week, and everybody made a dash to buy a year hook so they could vote. It finally ended and Alta Simmons wuz elected the most popular girl in school. Yep, that’s her right there. That mornin’ the famous Dr. Lincoln Wert spoke in assembly. “Wednesday, the 24th of November, school let out for Thanksgiving holidays. The Home Economics Club and the Agricultural Club had charge of the assembly and that night they had their annual ball. “On turkey day the school play went to Eureka. The week after Thanksgivin’ everybody shure did make up for their holidays. My, but we did have a week of terrible exams, and believe me—I certainly had a hard time gettin’ my brains limbered up after so much inactivity. Y’ know, Gidy, there wuz some thin’ funny about them there teachers down there. Whenever they gave us a holiday they made up for TWHXTY-SIX it and came back at us with a vengeance. “Thursday, December 2, Dramatic Art Club met and they had a special assembly, and Dr. Erwin Pryor spoke. Friday the combined glee clubs put on the assembly program and that night the French Club met. Y’ know Gidy, when we got our marks Monday they were a terrible shock to us, so by way of workin’ some of the surplus heat off our minds, we had a debate with Payson. “Tuesday, December 7, our basketball team played the first game of the season with Spanish Fork. Of course we won.” “Say, Grandpap, who’s this here feller. He shure is good lookin’ alright.” “Oh, that? That’s Clarence Vacher. He wuz chosen as all-state halfback for football. What’s that? My lands, how can I think of anything with you interruptin’ every minute ?” “Well, I just wanted to know who these funny lookin’ kids are with their clothes on backwards.” “Oh, they wuz the Freshies, couldn't you tell that by the dumb expressions on their faces. They had Freshie day on about Friday, too, even if they did have somethin’ to do with it. They had charge of the activities of the day, includin' the dance at night. “The next Wednesday they dismissed school in the mornin’ on account of as how they wuz dedicat- TWEXTT.SKVKX mM I fl I jipnC m J s - TT- 3 in’ the new City and County Build-in’. My, Gidy, hut that wuz a fine buildin’. “On Thursday, December 16, the Dramatic Art club had their Christmas party. On December 22, our boys played the L. D. S. My, but that sliure was an excitin’ game. Of course we won. That same day we had an assembly and a dance. Every one sliure wuz happy at that dance. Just think. Gidy how wonderful it would be to have a whole week and a half’s vacation!” “Oh, but we did have a wonderful time until December 31, and then somethin’ felt kind of queer. It seemed like somethin’ wuz slippin’ from us. and sliure enough, the next day we had a brand new year. Yes, and I really did make just about as many fine resolutions as anybody ever could break. “We started back to school again on January 3. It wuz lots of fun during the holidays, but it shure seemed good to get back. What’s that?” “Oh, I wuz just wonderin’ who this brave lookin’ fellow with the typewriter is?” “My lands Gidy, is that what you call brave? Well, 1 guess it wuz alright. What’s that? Oh, you want to know who that man is- He wuz one of the Royal Mounted Policemen. He came and spoke to us on January 13. “Friday, January 14, wuz Alumni day. They had a peppy assembly in the afternoon and each class put TWEXTV-KIOHT on a part of it, includin’ Harrison Conover’s solo dance. “You know, Gidy, about that time there were signs all over that town, “Old land-mark goin’.” I didn’t know what they meant for a long time ’till Mark Eggertsen got up in chapel and with a tearful voice bid the old school good-bye. My, but we did miss him. “The next week we had to start workin’ again for the term exams. But on Wednesday and Thursday we forgot our lessons and went to see the Dramatic Art Club Play. “Pals First.” Lee Spencer, Clifton Passey and Phillis Miller had the leading roles. On Friday, January 21, they had assembly and in the evenin’ there wuz a basketball game with American Fork and a free student body dance. “Monday they had the tryouts for the opera, “The Lass of Limerick Town.” Metta Ritchie, Marie Wiscombe and Harrison Conover won out in the leads.” A ' “Say, Grandpa]), who’s that feller there with those papers?” “Oh, that’s Reed Phillips. He was chosen to take Mark’s place as Student Manager. “Oh, Gidy, here are some pictures of Sophomore day. That was on January 28. Yep, and here are some pictures of the bulldog mascot that was presented to the school by the Alumni Association. Ain’t it fierce lookin’ though?” “My lands, I’ll say it does. It looks almost like it had the mumps.” TWEVTV.XI.Vr “My goodness, Gidyanthean. that shure wuz a busy week. On Monday they had the elections for the “Provonian.” Max Bown was elected editor and Larry Bee business manager. That night we won the swimmin’ meet with Granite, and Wednesday we won the swimmin’ meet with L. D. S. “Thursday Miss Woolley read “The Littlest Rebel” at Dramatic Art Club. We had a Lincoln’s birthday program in assembly and that night we had a game with Lincoln High. Naturally we won. On Saturday, February 12, the B. V. U. High School invited us to their Junior Prom. “Bert Lewis put over his weekly publicity stunt the next Wednesday in special assembly. Let me tell you Gidy, that there Bert Lewis “Speakin’ of mumps reminds me. There wuz a regular epidemic of them about that time. It seemed like nearly all the basketball players had them when we played Lehi on January 28. Anyhow, we won. “The next Thursday they had a testimonial for S. P. Eggertsen. It wuz continued over again the next day in chapel and that afternoon they had campaign speeches for the next year’s officers for the “Provonian.” Later they had a pep rally and that night there wuz a game with P. G. We lost. There wuz a dance afterward. “Say, Gidy, but don’t those pictures look fun? That wuz the “Y” Winter Carnival that wuz held up in Vivian Park on Saturday, January 5. TIIIUTr and Max Bee certainly did have those students keeping Mr. Hollow busy. That day they had an open session in assembly and decided to appoint committees to preserve order in assemblies. “Not only wuz there a lot of excitement goin’ on but the boys were actin’ perfectly angelic like. You shure would of thought it wuz Christmas, but of course it wuz somethin' more important, Girls’ Day. “Yep, that glorious day dawned bright and clear on Friday, February 18. In the mornin’ a peppy assembly wuz put on and Mrs. Car-roll awarded the gold medal for the prize short story to Eva A. West-over. In the afternoon there wuz the annual vaudeville, and that night they had the annual Girls’ Day Ball in the ladies’ gym. How’s that, Gidy? Why of course I wuz there. The girls just couldn’t resist my charms. “The next Tuesday, February 22, we heard President Cal. Coolidge’s Washington’s birthday speech over the radio. Yes, and they had a basketball game with the B. Y. and a dance that night. “My, Gidyanthean, the weather wuz shure fine about that time. Spring certainly had come, and the young man's fancy shure wuz turning to----what?” “Aw, to fishin’. My lands. I guess 1 know that, you needn’t get poetical with me, Grandpap.” “Well, that wuzn’t just what I TIIIRTY-OXF rtf (pT ,€v L. r - “Ya know, Gidy, they almost had to close school on Wednesday, March 16, ’cause I went to Salt Lake to the tournment. Not much happened while I wuz gone, but the tournament wuz fine. We took fourth place. “Japanese Junior day wuz on Friday, March 25. My, but that wuz a fine day. Everything wuz Japanese from the assembly to the paper, and the Prom wuz simply—Pardon me, Gidy, I almost used big words again. “The next Saturday, We took r third place in the state one-act play contest. ( “Friday, April 1, wuz all-fool’s A day. That same day our typists, r x under the supervision of Mrs. Lar- x L A “On Friday, February 25. the oratorical contest wuz held. Out of the five contestants, Edward Sheya won.” “Oh, Grandpap, what are all these pictures of?” “That’s some of the cast of “The Lass of Limerick Town.” It wuz put on March the 3rd and 4th. It “Elizabeth Gessford wuz elected editor of the year hook for next year, and Ned Nuttall business manager. The next Thursday. March 10, all the Science classes went to the state mental hospital for a visit. wuz goin’ to say. but I guess it’s alright anyhow. On February 23, they gave the parents a dose of what we’d been havin’ and had Parents’ day. THIRTY-TWO 'O sen and Mrs. Spencer, won honors in the state type contest. The next day wuz the Girls’ Jamboree and believe me Gidyanthean, it wuz another wild party. “The tryouts for the Senior Class Play, ‘‘Bab,’’ were held Monday. Lee Spencer, Zola Martin, and Barr Washburn won the leadin’ parts. “Ya know, Gidy, seemed all we did that year wuz win victories. Our debaters won the division championship. They wuz: Lynn Broadbent, Delores Fullmer, Edward Sheya, and Bert Lewis. That’s them, right there. “On Thursday, April 14, Miss Thela Buchanan read “The Cinderella Man” in Dramatic Art Club. The next day they had the Dixon Extemporaneous Speaking Contest. Lynn Broadbent won the medal. “Ya know, Gidy, even if we wuz havin’ a good time then with spring ’n everythin’ we had to let our studies interfere with our education ’till we finished our exams. “It wuz awful excitin’ with campaigns ’n everything. Senior day wuz a big success. It wuz April 29. “May 6 wuz Utah County High School Day in American Fork. Elaine Paxman won the declamation contest. It wuz certainly splendid. “My Gidyanthean, feeling certainly wuz runnin’ high for the campaigns. The ‘Alpine Party’ had as their candidate for president, Joseph Allen, and the ‘Old Ironsides’ A ■■■■ THIRTY.T1IKKK party had Wendell Taylor. Wendell Taylor was elected president. “Right after that came honor day and high school day at the University of Utah. My goodness, Gidy, but we had a wild time in the big city. We had contests of all kinds such as singin’ chemistry, and extemporaneous—” “Such as which, Grandpap?” “Good gosh. Gidy, if you don’t know you better consult Webster. Anyway if you can keep still long enough I’ll tell you some more. “The Junior-Senior Party finally arrived and it wuz some party too. 1 tell you, Gidyanthean, the memory of them there last days always will loiter in my recollection. Naturally we had to spend some time on lessons and exams, but outside of that we certainly enjoyed ourselves. “The Senior Play, “Babs,” wuz put on May 18. It wuz a big success and we wuz all sorry that there weren’t goin’ to be any more plays. “I wuz made toastmaster at the Senior banquet but I felt so sad that ey had to get someone else. “The year books came out quite ' nrlv and of course that put a stop to all study in’ ’cause we just had to have everybody sign them. “My lands, Gidyanthean. Here it is nearly dark and I haven’t fixed my traps yet. Here you take this book right back where you got it and come back and help me.

Girl's Glee Club ’27 roRTT-nvi Seniors 'T'HE graduating class of 1927 will leave the Provo High School this year. These students are going to commence a new work, whether in college or the various fields of business. They have come, as you might say, to a parting of the ways, knowing not what the future holds for them. Rut they will succeed, for instilled in them are all the ideals of this school. They are fired with the enthusiasm which only the Provo High School could give them. In their rosy dreams of the future are seen the results of this training, and of the friendships they have made in their high school days. There is really no doubt in the minds of the Seniors as to what their future will be. They are filled with the confidence of knowledge which will be their parting gift from the Provo High School. They are men and women of tomorrow, and failure is a word unknown to them. Like St. George, will they go forth to conquer the dragons of success and make them theirs. They are gloriously alive to the beauties and opportunities of the life ahead, and with banners high and thoughts of the Provo High forever, they will reach the goal of victory.

After a time they became aware of the fact that they were referred to as Freshies. They were, indeed, an earnest crowd of knowldge-seekers, and always put on their company manners in the presence of the upper class-men. After Freshie Day, the rest of the students were startled by the fact' that these heretofore grcenlings must now be respected, for they possessed the true spirit of Provo High. This class contributed their bit towards Provo High’s success in the athletic line, and had many girls in the Posture Parade. These Freshies are our future leaders, and we hope that they will continue on their path of success. =WJT sixTv-oxe “7he copper sun Uas setting in the west; cAll had hidden save a fiery crest. ‘Bhe sky, illuminate with colors gay, tolled the knell of a triumphant day.

Hi ft 8KVKNTT-TWO StudentJiBody (Council THE Student Council, with Principal Harmon, Mr. Barnett, and Miss Woolley, comprise the governing body of the school. The council meets every two weeks and lias been very successful in discussing the various problems as they arise, and handling them to the best of its ability. This success probably was due largely to Miss Rhead's delicious luncheons, served to the council once a month. One of the most interesting events for the council this year was their trip to Granite and West High Schools of Salt Lake City. This visit was returned by the West High, and it is hoped that these visits will become a tradition in the two schools. The council this year was composed of the following students: Lynn Brcadbent, Faun Bunnell, Agnes Farnsworth, James Poul-ton, Leland Spencer, Reed Phillips, Max Bee, Bert Lewis, Iona Davis, LaVern Greene, Barr Washburn, Joe Allen, Max Bown, Max Zabriskie, Paul Rowe, Edith Paxman, Elizabeth Gessford and Dorothy Jones. md=r-:= r T tiKVKXTV-TIIHKK Qirls’ Organization HE Girls’ Organization of this year has more than lived up to its ideal of True Womanhood. Under the influence and guidance of Mrs. Wakefield, the girls have given their most hearty cooperation in every activity. Several times during the year meetings have been held and valuable information has been received by each girl. Girls’ Day was one of the most successful ever sponsored by the Provo High School. Through it was made possible the leaving with the school some worthy project of interest to girls. Other activities such as the ‘‘Get-Acquainted Party” and the “Girls Jamboree” have been equally successful. The organization of 1926 and 1927 has truly been worth while and will live as an example for future years.

It has had the staunch support of over one hundred members. which have also enjoyed the excellent and entertaining programs that have been presented every two weeks. The completion of a Little Theatre has been the main aim of the D. A. C., for they realized this would make it more convenient to promote dramatic interests. 'I'his Little Theatre has been built and painted and lacks new only the appropriate finishing touches. Educationally, the 1). A. C. ranks high, for dramatic art is indeed a good representative of a full and happy life. As a club we feel indebted to our supervisor, Miss Mary Woolley, for it is really she who has given us our good inspirations and helped us to fulfill them. We wish to express our pratitude to her, and hope we will always be worthy of her help.

If you need it done quickly, charmingly and successfully, just say “vite vite, le Moliere Club,” or merely call for the Frenchies. Twice each month we’ve met in the French conservatory, room 22.

The oratorical and extemporaneous contests were well represented by members of the Forensic Club, and also in the debating activities of the year. The Eggertsen testimonial was fostered and managed by this club and was indeed an appropriate and successful undertaking. DeLores Fullmer President Donald Vaughan Program Manager Helen Gerber Secretary Edward Sheya Vice-President SUlfJl cAgricultural Qlub THE Ag. Club claims the reputation of at least enjoying themselves as a club during the school year. They have created and aroused an interest in agriculture among the students of the Provo High School, especially its members. The part they took in the Ag. and Home Ec. Club ball at Thanksgiving time was very successful. Needless to say, the decorations were unique for we have all heard considerable comment along that line. The members have all enjoyed their activities in the Ag. Club and we hope this organization will always be present in the Provo High School. Loyal Mortenson Secretary Mr. Allen Jess Leetham President Forrest Ferguson Vice-President Supervisor KM J1ITY .SKVKK is Corine Economics Qlub TT has been the aim of the Home Economics Club to create in the girls of the Provo High a love for Domestic Art and Domestic Science. They have accomplished their purpose by increasing the enrollment of the club greatly over that of previous years. This club helped with the successful Home Economics and Agriculture Club Hall, and gave their share of the proceeds to the Domestic Art Department. We wish to instill within the girls the vital importance of this home training for it will he invaluable to them as our future home-makers. Let our future motto be “Every Provo High School girl a member of the Home Economics Club.” KlfJIITY .KMillT DEAL music as taught in the Provo High School is a creator of harmony and, cheerfulness in the lives of the students. It also gives them the change needed from the more exacting mental studies in their school work. Over three hundred students are enrolled in the vocal and instrumental music departments, and are all enjoying its benefits Wc have in our school a Public Service Bureau through which entire programs are furnished at any- time by the members of the dramatic art and music classes. This organization has done extensive and commendable work that has been greatly appreciated by the public. The band, orchestra, and glee clubs have been thrilled with the privilege of broadcasting programs over the radio from station KSL.

Gaily colored flowers in a grand myriad, decked the walls, and palms and pagodas beckoned us to come and linger in their daintiness. The dimmed lights lent an atmosphere of enchantment to this wondrous scene, and we became enchanted by the fine splendor of this Japanese fairyland. In one pagoda, nestled in the corner, were demure Japanese girls in native costume, who gave you of their refreshments. Those enjoying this grandeur rocked to and fro to the entrancing music, their dainty frocks of wondrous variety, swishing against each other in their delight, and all were happy in this sweetly scented heaven, and wished that everyone’s dreams of Junior Proms might be realized so elegantly. U.VK IIUXIIHKD IV TYSTERY! Spooks! A graveyard with a ghastly white fence. Ghosts of night peering at one behind the fence posts. Dangling skeletons danced to the tunes of a too modern jazz orchestra. A grave, a coffin, and a corpse whose eyes gaze up in hollow horror. Icy frappe served from a dreary coffin, and programs snatched from the depths of such another. Overhead the black and orange clouds had a tussle and tossed the yellow moons upon their waves. It was in such an atmosphere that hundreds of gay students, armed with enjoyment, were cast in this graveyard of fun for the Hallowe’en Carnival.

And at that moment there was instilled in every heart that gleeful happiness of the Maytime. In fact, the pleasant thoughts were so plentiful that they bubbled out in laughter. The thirsty crowds were refreshed by the punch served from huge pink baskets. A green frog as the dance programs, was appropriately dedicated to the “Senior’s Last Hoi)’’, and clever sayings filled part of the space denoting each dance. The moonlight dances were wonderful. An array of colored lights were shining mysteriously in every corner, giving the hall a mystic atmosphere. Indeed, everyone will remember the hop of ’27 for it contributed happiness to all. OXK IIIlKDItKO TWO A LL our dreams of fairyland suddenly came true when we at-tended the Girls’ Day Ball. Upon entering, we found ourselves transported from the grey of winter into a veritable fairyland aflame with the fragrant loveliness of a spring garden. On either side of the orchestra was a cozy nook inhabited by toad-stools, and where cooling refreshments could be had by all. Occupying the center of this dreamland was a miniature fountain, where crystal waters sparkled and tiny ferns floated. Soft strains of music lured the dancers as the cheerful song ( f: a bird on a summer day. The evening seemed enchanted, but like a dream it ended and the grim reality returned only to enhance the memories of Girls’ Day and its evening of pleasure.

Over two hundred letters of appreciation were sent to the committee, and a bound volume made of them. This book was presented to Mr. Eggertsen by the Provo High School teachers at the testimonial exercises given for teachers, students and friends, who came in great crowds. The Teachers’ Association gave him a gold watch and chain as their token of good will. During the day a special assembly was held by the student body, and a program given in honor of Mr. Eggertsen. A very creditable edition of the Provonian was also issued, which contained many tributes to him as a teacher and character-builder. We all wish that our lives might be as exemplary as the one of Mr. Eggertsen, and assure him that his influence has done much to make our lives here worth-while. •JKBalfc. k I ■Qirl V Our oMost Popular ' h 1 Alta active, Alta fair Lively face and rich brown hair, jjf Teasing lips, the rose bud’s hue, And eyes of gentle Larkspur blue. jA y i1' Staunch to things she knows are right, Interesting, attractive, bright, (j Mischievously she comes and goes, Magnetic, drawing friends and foes, Obedient to each service plea, Never doubting love’s decree Surprising personality.

This group was made up of Barr Washburn, Faun Bunnell,- Weston Streble, Sunny Funk. Bliss Hoover, Bert Lewis, Jim Boulton, Sam-mie Rowley, and Lynn Broadbent. They decided to bring those making noticeable disturbance in assemblies, before a Student Body Court. The Council approved of this and elected Reed Phillips as judge, Bert Lewis as prosecuting attorney, and Clyde Sand-gren as bailiff, to carry on this means of discipline, which has been very effective. Six court sessions have been held and about forty sentences for some cleaning job bestowed upon the heads of various students. We feel we should compliment the students on the improvement in our assemblies, and for the true sportsmanship that has been manifest in this movement of reform. It is this spirit that insures progress, and we hope it will continue to be present in the Provo High School. Tublic Serv cc bureau FOR the last few years the Provo High School has furnished for its patrons, a great variety of program numbers through its Public Service Bureau. This department has been very active this vear under the direction of Miss Mary Woolley and Mr. Ernest Paxman. A record has been kept of the number of these readings, dances, and musical selections furnished during this school year, and we find that it reaches four hundred. This Public Service Bureau is an asset to the school, because of the help it gives to the students, and also the manner in which it advertises the Provo High School.

Soon after school started, debating teams were organized and trained. I he teams prepared and debated the following questions: “Resolved, that the United States should join the World Court.” “Resolved, that the Board of Regents of the State University be authorized to, prescribe a minimum standard to be attained before graduation from all State High Schools,” and “Resolved that the government should own and operate the coal mines.” When the state question, “Resolved that the Volstead Act should be so modified as to permit the manufacture and sale of light wines and beers, containing not more than 2.75 per cent by volume,” was announced, five teams were formed to study this question. From these teams, DeLores Fullmer. Edward Sheya, Bert Lewis and Lynn Broadbent were selected to represent us on the question, which team succeeded in winning the division. We feel that Mrs. Jacob should be complimented on the democratic way in which she has carried on the activities of debating, and for’the earnest efforts put forth to make debating the real success it has been. O.VK IU.VDRKD FOVnTKKX THE activities of our Stock Judging Team have been very extensive. Soon after the opening of school they had the privilege of judging at the State Fair, together with many other high schools of the state. They also went to the Ogden Livestock Show and were successful in taking fourth place. At Spanish Fork they did excellent work and carried off first place in a stock judging contest. The main team is made up of Delmar Olsen, Grant Pen-rod and Mitchell Carter. These students attended the Intermountain Contest at Salt Lake and did very creditable work.

Here, the students have profited by the better lighting conditions and have been able to move around with greater ease, due to the increased room. The Commercial Department has been of untold service to the school and has achieved great success during this school year. This in part, is due to the untiring efforts of Mrs. Ethel Spencer and Mrs. Chestina B. Larsen. More awards have been received this year in the typing department than ever before. We have a team of three, Max Bee, Arthur Zabriskie and Clyde Sandgren, which is hard to beat. They each have won recognition from the different typewriter companies by writing at the rate of eight)' words per minute. The Provo High was well represented at the third annual Stenographic contest, and made a very creditable showing in typewriting as well as in the shorthand contest. onk irr stored sixteen . 1 T T) N ■) rn S MUCH of our success in athleti £I this year is due to the efforts of our Athletic Manager, Clarence Vacher. Besides being efficient in managing and bandaging, he distingu-ished himself as a football player anc track star. Because of his ability in these lines he won a position on the all-state football eleven, an honor which only one from our school has enjoyed before. He is also expected to garner many points on the track for dear old P. H.

Through his efficiency as a cheer leader, the team was made to feel that everyone in the building was rooting for them, and so they couldn’t disappoint us. He was on hand at all times to cheer the team and inspire students to get behind and support them. We congratulate “Jimmie” for his splendid record, and wish him much success in the future. aocs - Jl.L OxK HUJCDJTEIJ NIX KTKFN THE Bulldogs enjoyed a very successful season on the gridiron. Although they didn’t win the divisi fti championship, they displayed a game fighting spirit and finished third. Spanish Fork, Lehi, and Eureka were beaten by overwhelming scores while our old rivals, Springville and Payson, vanquished our team by a very small margin. 1'he superiority of Coach Simmons’ White and Green squad over the division teams is unquestioned. According to most followers of the game, our defeat by the Springville champs and Paysotr was due only to carelessness rather than by inferior play by our boys.

Under the able direction of Coach Glen Simmons, whose teams are always regarded as formidable, our basketeers developed a brand of ball that succeeded very well. They were beateiv only by the Pleasant Grove team, and in an ill-fated game, by Manti. Throughout the season the team displayed a great fighting spirit and proved to everyone that they were worthy of their name. The disadvantage of their small size was aptly overcome by the fast passing game which they developed.

The 160-vard relay record fell when a team composed of Waid. Millett, Lossee and John negotiated the distance in 1 :26.2.
