Taylor Amos N. Merrill Ole Olsen IP. TTlonroe Paxman John IP. Farrer President Our Superintendent AFTER five years of faithful service, H. Claude Lewis has resigned his position as superintendent of public schools. He has instilled in the hearts of the students a love for beauty. His appreciation of art has enabled us to understand it more fully. We have felt only kindness radiating from him, and in his personality we have seen the highest form of manhood. With all good wishes, we urge him on to success in his new field of business. In looking through the pages of this book, we know that his picture will again revive in the hearts of the Provo High students, a man interested only in our welfare. PAGE FIFTEEN Our Principal HE is the hub of a great wheel—the center around which the activities of the Provo High School revolve. Through his fortitude, his understanding, his true love for our school, we have been able to carry on the high ideals set before us. There has never been a time when he has not been behind the activities sponsored by the students—when those activities meant something to our success. In the estimation of the students, he is a real man. It is with the fondest of memories that we will recall our association with Principal Harmon. In him, we have found an ever-present help in trouble. PAGE SIXTEEN ETHEL SPENCER Busmens W. J. MORTIMER Woodwork CHESTINA LARSEN Typewriting J. W. WASHBURN Seminary C. S.

Representative Senior Class THE Provo High School is proud of the senior class of 1928 and feels that it has produced a group of able leaders and citizens. Throughout all the school years it has been a class worthy of recognition and honor. The lower classmen are proud to look to the graduating class of 1928 as examples of leadership and attainment. The high ideals of the Provo High School will linger in each member’s mind and it will help each to decide the paths of life he expects to follow— stimulating him to fame. Commencement night is a night of farewells. After receiving the diplomas each individual will embark upon a new life. Some of the graduates go to college while others enter various fields of business. The high school training acts as a foundation participation in worthwhile life activities.

The Provo High during the year 1927 and 1928 was filled with good fellowship, scholarly atmosphere, and success. The Juniors added abundantly to these features. Next year the Juniors will fling the banners of the Provo High defiantly to the winds of opposition and challenge other schools to try to keep up the pace of progress which they will set in leading the school to honor and fame. Their class day was full of pep and fun, and the Junior Prom was one of the most successful activities of the year both socially and financially. Gertrude Reynolds and Ray Stewart are the faculty advisers.

PAUL ROWE Representative Sophomores THIS has been a banner year for the class of 1930. Sophomore Day as you all remember was unique in every detail. The original costumes added to the charm of the day. Those who attended the dance had a good time. The members of the class have shown to us in more ways than one in which direction their ability lies. It seems they excel in winning prizes. Their president won the first place in a ticket selling contest. And then again you all remember Percival, the pig, who was won by the Sophomores. This class contributed their bit toward Provo High’s success in the athletic line, and they have some valuable material that will be needed in the near future. The students were all surprised to find that the Sophomore class had in their midst the most popular lady of the school. They also had girls in the posture parade. They have set a good example for the Freshmen and hope to continue to keep up their high standards while Juniors.

Representative Freshmen Class THE Freshmen are the greenlings of 1927 and 1928, but they are the seniors of 1930 and 1931. It has been our aim to have a bigger and better graduating class than ever before in the history of Provo High. Every day we find ourselves closer to that goal and we hope to make each year an improvement over the last. This year we have already surprised you with some of our promising talent, and our ability to carry on the activities of the school. We realize the path of knowledge is long and rugged, and we have only begun, but still we are starting out with determination, and are going to make each milestone a marker of a journey worthwhile. With our faces ever turned to the peak of success, we will climb the mountain of knowledge in spite of the obstacles in our way and “though odds prevail, we will succeed!’’ PAGE FORTY-FOUR Freshmen PAGE FORTY-FIVE PAGE FORTY-SIX Freshmen «= ' • -t- - r r .

The main student body officers and class presidents, with the principal and a faculty adviser make up the executive council. The remaining officers and class representatives, together with the above named officers and an additional faculty adviser compose the legislative council. The executive council meets at noon every other week and discusses business, while they are served with an appetizing dinner cooked by members of the domestic science department with Mrs. Erma Haymore in charge. The legislative council meets when questions of importance arise. The executive council is composed of Principal Harmon, Mary Woolley, Wendell Taylor, Ora Haws, Clyde Sandgren, Rulon Paxman, Clifton Passey, Elmo Martin, Elizabeth Gessford, Max Bown, Howard Cottam, Edward Sheya, Truxton Purvance, Cyril Condon. The legislative council is composed of the following, together with those previously named: B. W. McAllister, Lawrence Bee, Ned Nuttall. Phyllis Miller, Wendell Vance, Ralph Worthen, Arthur Sutcliffe, Mitchel Carter, Paul Rowe, Elbert Startup.

Ned Nuttall Truxton Purvance PAGE FIFTY-TWO PAGE FIFTY-THREE OUR cup of 1927-28 is filled to overflowing with cooperation, unexcelled activities, and democratic mixtures. Slowly the sparkling liquid filled the cup. With each new fulfillment it rose. The “Hobo Hike” in October filled the bottom. The special assemblies and separate parties of “groups” added life and color to the mixture. Gradually it grew. The Girls’ Ball lent its delightful spice and flavor of voices of Old Spain. The plenteous rains of April fell into the cup—the “Girls’ Treasure Hunt”—and increased the amount, leaving a mysterious, mellow glow. There, like a triumphant crashing of notes in a symphony orchestra, came the “Dance Drama” filling the cup. This cup represents the organization of the Provo High School Girls. Each grain of sand is a girl fitting in and doing her part to make a harmonious whole. With twenty separate groups, each having two senior girls and teachers at its head, the material blended together—to make the cup of expectation and opportunity. Officers of the organization are: Mrs. Wakefield, Dean of Girls; Ora Haws, president; Angela Hinckley, vice president ; Wanda Richmond, secretary-treasurer; Gean Clark, reporter. PAGE FIFTY-FOUR Public Service Bureau SERVICE has been the motto; success the aim of the Public Service Bureau this year. Although the bureau has been working for a long time, this is the first year that it has been a recognized student body aitivity. Heretofore, the person in charge of the bureau has been the vice-president of the Dramatic Art Club. But this year, an amendment to the constitution was made, saying that the president of this office should be a student body officer, and Phyllis Miller was appointed to this position. Since it was organized, the bureau has responded to calls from clubs, wards, socials, and schools; supplying each call with a program. This bureau is composed of the dramatic art department, under the direction of Miss Mary Woolley, the vocal department under the direction of Mr. Ernest Paxman, and the instrumental department under the direction of Mr. John A. Omanson. From these departments, three hundred and fifty numbers have been sent out, with one hundred and twenty two students participating. The purpose of this department has been two-fold; service to patrons and friends of the high school, and to give the student a channel for expression, making possible the development one receives from doing. True education comes in the development of personal talents. With this thought in mind, we readily come to the conclusion that the Public Service Bureau is a real factor in the education of the individual, because it provides the possibility for developing and expressing the finest of his inherent powers. “No man has come to true greatness who has not felt in some degree that his life belongs to his race, and that what God gives him, He gives him for mankind.”—Philip Brooks. CAGE FIFTY-FIVE Hall Quide System THE hall guide system has been used in the Provo High School for the past five years and has been very efficient in maintaining good order in the halls. Both students and faculty members should be complimented on the success of this project. Each teacher takes his turn as chief hall-guide for a term of one week; during this time he appoints student hall guides, three for each day, and instructs them to keep all students out of the halls who do not have pass cards from their teachers. It is also the duty of the hall guide to help the office clerk or principal of the school by taking notices to the various rooms. The Student Court “To avoid error, know the law; To avoid the penalty, obey the law.” LIKE all democratic organizations, the student body of the Provo High School has had to maintain order and respect for laws. This has been made possible through a student court whose duty it has been to try all cases brought before it. Our court consisted of a judge, a prosecuting attorney, a bailiff and court reporters. The court reporter’s duties were to notify the prosecuting attorney of all cases of student misconducts. The attorney then investigated the cases, procurred witnesses, and trials were granted, the alleged offenders having an attorney for their defense. On Tuesday evening, each week at 4:15, court was held in the study hall. The judge heard the sworn testimony of witnesses and gave his decisions accordingly. We feel that our student court has been very successful and has served its purpose. PAGE FIFTY-SIX CLUBS Dramatic Irt Club ONE of the most successful organizations of our school is the Dramatic Art Club. It has a membership of one hundred peppy students who are willing to help their club at any time. The banquet in the fall was a huge success. The guests were seated at one long table in the upper hall of the Junior High building. The Domestic Science girls under the direction .of Mrs. Haymore served the dinner in an artistic style. Beautiful blue stage curtains have been bought for the Little Theatre through the untiring efforts of the member's. The stunt presented by the club took second place in the Pep Vodie, and this group of students also produced a successful one act play for the state contest. With the co-operation of the Mask Club of the B. Y. U., the club has been entertained with many three act plays. Flach time the Little Theatre has been filled to capacity. The officers of the club are: Teacher Adviser, Mary Woolley; Elizabeth Gessford, president; Fern Smoot, vice-president; Evelyn Prusse, secretary-treasurer; programs, Phyllis Miller; business manager, Wendell Vance. PAGE FIFTY-EIGHT Zipperettes THE Zipperette Club is a group of girls organized for the purpose of promoting school spirit and pep. The girls have put on several “stunts” in assembly, and in various athletic activities. They won the prize for the best “stunt” put on just before the big basketball game between Pleasant Grove and Provo. The club has a limited membership, as it was deceided that a club which is too large is too hard to control. As each member graduates, her place is filled by a would-be Zipperette, who must be passed upon by the club, and a majority vote of two thirds given, before she is initiated. If any member receives a grade of “C” at any time in her studies, that member is dropped from the club. They are headed by Ruth Roberts, president; Hazel Robinson, secretary-treasurer; Grace Dangerfield, business manager; Phyllis Miller, cheer leader; Mrs. Wakefield, Mrs. Decker, Miss Reynolds, advisers. PAGE FIFTY-NINE Forensic Club NE of the most successful clubs of the school year was the Forensic Club. Owing to the fact that no class periods were given to the students interested in public speaking, the Forensic Club, in order to keep up the tradition of the school, undertook the great responsibility. They gave help and encouragement to students interested in public speaking and stimulated others to more interest in school activities. The club sponsored many oratorical contests, and it was wholly through the efforts of this club that debating was such a success. The officers of the club are: Faculty Adviser, Maud B. Jacob; President, Wendell Vance; Vice President, Bliss Brimhall; Secretary-Treasurer, Merlin Vance; Debating Manager, Edward Sheya. PAGE SIXTY French and Latin Clubs “He who learns a new language gains another soul.”—Turkish Proverb. Although the youngest club in the P. H. S., the Latin club has progressed rapidly during the past year. In view' of the purpose to help in the progression of the “Latina Lingua” they have aimed high in hopes of obtaining second year Latin. In establishing “Collegium Latinum” in our school the club gives a surety of the success of the combined efforts of “nos, Romani.” “Vale!” Le Moilere greets you! We are a “Tres heureux” bunch, and have given many programs—alw'ays interesting. Our goal has been to learn more about French life and customs so as to make the mother tongue more enjoyable. “COLLEGIUM LATINUM” Truxton Purvance President LE MOLIERE” Mervin Redden President Melvin Jenkins Vonda Duke Vice President Vice President Max Zabriskie Secretary-Treasurer Kenneth Polley Secretary-Treasurer TAGE SIXTY-ONE Ag. Club THE purpose of the Ag. Club has been to provide association for boys interested in agriculture, to get acquainted with practical men of agriculture and to cooperate with the community in aiding its improvement and beautification. The livestock team was represented in four shows - - the county fair, State Fair, Ogden Livestock Show and the Spanish Fork Show. They placed well up in the first three shows, and took first place in the Spanish Fork Show. One of the best dances of the year was given by the Ag. Club in November. The gym was decorated with corn fodder and streamers to represent a barn. A turkey was raffled away during the frolic. It has been one of the snappiest clubs in school and has done much to put life and pep into the P. H. S. There are fifty-seven boys wearing Ag. sweaters, and sixty-eight members enrolled in the club. This is the first year the Ag. club has purchased sweaters for distinction. The officers of the club are: Leonard Giles, president; Parnell Pratt, vice-president; La Rue Payne, sec.-treas; Clyde Biddulph, reporter; Paul Ripple, athletic manager. PAGE SIXTY-TWO Home Economics Club THE Home Economics Club has had a very successful year and enjoyed a wider field of activities than ever before, having as an opening event a theatre party, and ending the year with a farewell party. The club project this year was a new silk green and white school flag. This was also the first year they have had club pins. Club meetings were not all parties. Helpful lectures on domestic science and domestic art were given the members, the prominent speakers being Mrs. Eastman, Mrs. Wakefield and Miss Jean Cox, head of the department of Economics work. The Ag-Ec. Ball was one of the outstanding socials of the school year. Officers of the Home Economics Club have done excellent work in improving the object of the club and taking an active part in the school life. The officers are: Evelyn Prusse, president, Edda Jones, vice-president; Jenny Lind Myrup, secretary and treasurer; Ruth Speckart, reporter. PAGE SIXTY-THREE Quill and Scroll CHAPTER in the Quill and Scroll, national honorary society for high school journalists, was installed in the Provo high school this year. The Provo High chapter is the first one in the state of Utah. The initiation banquet was held April 25, and at this function, the members were officially installed and given their gold pins. These ceremonies arc standard, and all high schools use the same initiation scheme. In order to become a member of this honor society, a student must be among the very best of his class and submit exceptionally good news articles. There were twelve students who qualified for the chapter this year. The members are: Max D. Bown, Phyllis Miller, Howard Cottam, Elizabeth Gessford, Gean Clark, Alice Facer, Lawrence Bee, Clyde Sandgren, Arthur Sutcliffe, Ruth Roberts, Hazel Robinson, Ned Nuttall.

PAGE SEVENTY Orchestra and 5and ' J ' HE orchestra and band, under the dircetion of Mr. John A. Oman-son have made singular success this year, more so, than ever before. They have given concerts that have been highly appreciated by those who heard them. The orchestra was faithful in its work to make the school opera a success. At any time, when called upon to play at some presentation or function, the orchestra has always been willing to render their services. The band, too, has done much for the school this year. They broadcasted a very fine concert over K. S. L., and have always been on hand to play at pep rallies, games, assemblies, and other gatherings. Programs have been willingly sent out by the instrumental department. All have co-operated with the Public Service Bureau to make the school more glorious and successful. PAGE SEVENTY-ONE Qirls' Qlee Boys' Qlee PAGE SEVENTY-TWO € Avl A MARKED increase in numbers and in quality of work has been made manifest this year in the art departments. More students are realizing the importance of art and the joy and appreciation it brings. Both in fine art and applied art very creditable work has been done. The object of this year’s applied class taught by Mr. Barkdull has been to teach the principles of creative design in the decorative, conventional, and abstract forms and their application. Many fine products in china painting, stenciling, block printing, wood carving, leather tooling, and metal craft have been completed besides the original creative design. Although composed mostly of girls, a few boys have taken the class this year. Many opportunities are offorded boys in metal craft, cement modeling, block printing, leather tooling, and wood carving. The students have become acquainted with the importance of the class, having, through their work, realized its relative value to not only household arts, but even to mechanics of different types and fields of invention.

Popular Boy- Elmo Ulartin PAGE EIGHTY-ONE The Hallowe'en Carniual THRILLS! and more thrills! Every kind and description was enjoyed by the Hallowe’en merry-makers. Hallowe’en novelty reigned supreme! The hall had the mysterious atmosphere that usually prevails; those vacant houses haunted with witches, goblins, ghosts, skeletons, and bats. The black and yellow streamers over head gave the hall an air of obscurity and mystic charm. Up from a haven of cornstalks floated weird strains of measured rythm as the couples ventured forth to the center of the floor to dance. Long dangling skeletons stared with their hollow eyes. Bright yellow pumpkins stirred the appetite for the icy frappe; ghosts and witches challenged adventure. Dark corners which with-held deep mysteries were peered into by the dancers, some fearfully, some knowingly, and some few curiously. Shrouded objects stood about staring in their dumb cold way. Thus, was the atmosphere of fun, frolic, fear, adventure, and gaiety pre-valant at one of the most successful activities of the year—the Hallowe’en Carnival. PAGE EIGHTY-TWO The Senior Hop A DREAM-LAND of Christmas cheer carried one back on mystic wings to the days of long-ago. The pleasant, spicy odor of the balsams revived the spirit of the gloomiest, and filled every person with joy and new life. A tall spruce, stately and splendid, stood in the center of the hall; the little balsams arranged about the room bowed in humble submission to its majesty. Thus, we lower classmen honor and respect our mighty seniors. The green and red streamers over head added a charming bit of beauty to the fairy-land of Christmas. From a fire place in one end of the hall flowed harmonious music, rising and falling in sweetest cadences, now loud and triumphant, telling of the seniors’ success, now dying down to a soft, sad melody which murmured because they must leave our school, and again rippling along in joyous hope, wishing them success in the years to come, that memories of Provo High might prove a worthwhile joy. PAGE EIGHTY-THREE (girl's ball AN intense blue sky, blue to the point of velvety blackness—ancf yet blue. The stars shine through like magnificent diamonds in the background. A balcony, tilted roofs, which cap the stucco houses. The soft mellow glow of colored lights softening and blending the structures into a lovely Spanish garden—romantic and beautiful. The splashing fountain with colored lights acts as a finishing note to the scene. The slow strumming of the Spanish guitars, adding the atmosphere, is replaced by the music of the Arcadians. The music sobs, rollicks and sings, playing on the emotions of the dancers, until under the pressure of it all they become submerged in the tide. No longer do they hold to their identity. They are but tones of lights, running scales and romantic melodies in the “Song of Life.” Do you recognize it all ? Of course! Who could forget it—our dance— “The Girls’ Ball”—February eleventh in the Spanish Garden, B. Y. U. Gym. PAGE EIGHTY-FOUR Junior Prom HOLLYHOCKS and roses, the sweet old-fashioned kind— These are flowers of romance in keeping to my mind. And truly it was a garden of romance, the Junior Prom, held March 23, 1928. In a colonial garden with latticed fences, and arched gateways covered with flowers, one of the most enjoyable evenings of the year was spent. The programs conformed to the general theme of the hall as an old-fashioned gateway festooned with roses. The Collegians furnished the music, and dainty colonial maidens served refreshments in tea gardens. The Juniors and their partners were the exclusive participants in the promenade which reached its climax in a dreamy waltz under the enchantment of dimmed lights. Though the promenade of 1928 is past, still the memory lingers. It was a night of enchantment in the life of every guest. COMMITTEE Edward Sheya P. H. Barkdull Helen Webster C. S.

What a glorious feeling to be back again! Everyone seemed delighted to be present and showed affectionate recognition. We can’t get used to hour periods, but we’ll surely survive. Forty-five men go out for football. The boys are very sporty and flash striped trousers and suspenders. Hah, an old style returneth. Friday, the first assembly was held. Everyone had sort of an exalted feeling-----they call it “school spirit.” The officers of the student body endeavored to prove that they were good at oratory, but Wendell T. seemed inclined to be bashful. Saturday night the handshake was held. About all we did was “hello” everybody. It was a good dance, but I think the fellows appreciated it more than the girls - - it was free. Things are starting out great. September 19-23. Monday morning everyone got to school on time. We didn’t know everybody was affected so easily. The annual locker sale was held, and outside of a broken door and desk, no one was seriously injured. It feels so different to have so many lockers - - enough for everyone. The Dramatic Art club held their first program. They surely are a peppy bunch. They invited the student body to attend - - provided they would pay ten cents. They must not want to hurt anyone’s feelings. Thursday, the school board became soft-hearted and excused everyone from school to attend high school day at the fair. Friday was a big day at school. Tryouts for yell-master, class elections, first Provonian, and first football game with Granite happened all in one day. Howard Cottam, Edward Sheya, Truxton Pur-vance and Cyril Condon were elected presidents of the Senior class, Junior class, Sophomore class and “Frosh” class respectively. The game was scoreless. At least we can say that we didn’t lose our first game. September 26-30. Main thought is how to solve problems with less thought. Monday, Wendell Taylor laid his nose on the grindstone for the rest of the year and called council to-gether for the first time. That night, at the presentation of Ben-Hur, the band gave a concert. Tuesday, Ora got ambitious, called a girl’s meeting and oficers were elected. The council appointed Rulon Paxman, student manager; Clifton Passey, yell-master and Wendell Vance dramatic manager. Friday, the D. A. C. gave the program in assembly. They seem to be a priviledged club - - we always understood it (Continued on Page 96) PAGE EIGHTY-NINE PAGE NINETY VIOLA McGUIRE EDYVARI) SHEYA ELIZABETH GESSFORD Oratorical Contest IPinners MORE students have entered the oratorical contests this year than ever before. Keen rivalry has been manifested in each event. In the Harmon oratorical contest held February 3, the medal was awarded to Viola McGuire. Other entrants were; Lillian Johnson, Ruth Roberts, Bliss Brimhall and Ross Dix. Elizabeth Gessford won the Sons of the American Revolution medal with her oration, “An Appeal to the Youth of America.” This contest was held on March 2, and the winner was run closely for honors by Rosemary Hodson, Max Bown, Bliss Brimhall and Norma Knight. In the preliminaries for the National Tribune Oratorical contest on the constitution held March 16, Edward Sheya won from Lillian Johnson, Elizabeth Gessford, Vera Anderson and Louise Boyer, but in the district contest, he lost to the Manti representative. Max Bown ran Edward Sheya a very close race for the Dixon Extemporaneous medal in the event held April 27, with Bliss Brimhall a close third. Provo high has indeed been well represented in oratorical work this year. PAGE NINETY-TWO Commercial (Team THE shorthand team, composed of Mae Sutton, Wanda Richmond, and Kathryn Snyder has added honors to the Provo high school by taking the state championship this year. The team was awarded the silver loving cup by the Utah Power Light Company, and a pennant by the B. Y. U. for making the highest average score of any shorthand team in the state. Mae Sutton won a scholarship to the B. Y. U. for having the most perfect transcription of all contestants; also two gold medals. Kathyrn Snyder captured the medal for the highest score on the ninety word take. The “amateur team”, Clyde Sandgren, Mae Sutton and Bert Weight, captured the pennant by making the highest average net rate of any team of this class. Cyde Sandgren won the honor of being Utah state champion amateur typist. Violet Cox, Hazel Fletcher, and Max Zabriskie represented our school in the second year event, and Marion Gilchrist, Dixie Mangum, and Melvin Duke in the novice class. PAGE NINETY-THREE RUTH ROBERTS WALTER SOHO ENFIELD BETH MANGUM EDWARD SHEYA HOWARD COTTAM WENDELL VANCE The Debating Team A BRILLIANT record was made by the Provo High debating team in spite of the disadvantage under which it worked. It was entirely under the auspices of the Forensic Club, owing to the fact that no class period was offered for debating in the school curricula. From the fifteen students who entered the tryouts, eight were chosen to represent th school on the debating team. After many hours of hard work under the supervision of their capable coach the members of the team were finally ready to enter the contests. The state question was: “Resolved: That instalment buying should be condemmed.” Two pre-season debates were staged with Wasatch High, one in Provo in March and the other at Heber on April 3. From the triangle consisting of Lincoln, Eureka, and Provo, the Lincoln team was chosen to represent the division. Much credit is due the coach, Mrs. Maude B. Jacob, for the record made by these students. PAGE NINETY-FOUR Stock Judging CTeam DURING this year our Stock Judging Team has progressed very rapidly. The boys have judged at the County Stock Show, the State Fair, the Ogden Livestock Show, and the Spanish Fork Show; taking seventh place at Ogden in competition with twenty-six teams, and first at Spanish Fork. The policy carried out by Mr. LeRoy Bunnell, the coach, has been for each man to have a chance, with no main team. However, after a man has judged at three State contests, he is ineligible for further competition. The boys who judged at the State Fair were Ferron Francum, Willis Field, and Maynard Sorenson. Grandon Allred, Clifford Anderson, and Delmar Olson represented us at Ogden. Grandon Allred, Clifford Anderson and Maynard Sorenson judged at the Spanish Fork Show. These boys have done excellent work and deserve all the credit that the Provo High is able to give because of their untiring efforts in helping Mr. Bunnell further agricultural work in the school. PAGE NINETY-FIVE ULy Diary (Continued from Page 89) was impolite to insist on being first. Dr. A. N. Merrill was the speaker. In the afternoon, we proved our worth to Spanish Fork by defeating them in a football game, 46-0. The Sophs and D. A. C. didn’t mind the rain and sold shakers and candy to whom it may concern. October 3-7. Well, all Hallows’ month here again. Wednesday, the tryouts for the school play, “Just out of College” were held. Ralph Worthen, Margaret Meecham and Clifton Passey were lucky, and won the leading parts. The Girls’ and Boys’ Glee clubs elected for their presidents, Lucille Merrill and Emo Martin. Pep is in the air. Everyone feels and shows it. Friday, we all enjoyed the Provonian assembly. The speaker was Professor J. M. Jensen. American Fork forfeited the football game to us so we played Westminister 19-6 in our favor. That night, we went to the student body dance and had a mighty fine time. October 10-15. This week has been short to all of us. Wednesday, “trampdom” was very prevalent around school. The girls’ hobo hike was held and as the girls were respectable tramps, it was a big success. Yes, the fellows were green with envy. The Hallowe’en Carnival committee was appointed and began work immediately. Friday, in the White and Green assembly, students were nominated for the popularity contest. Mary Snyder, Beulah Thurgood, Evelyn Startup, Phyllis Miller, Elmo Martin, Paul Ripple, Clifton Passey and Ken Fotheringham were the honored students. That afternoon, we all got out “Lizzie” and rattled over to Lehi to watch the Bulldogs win 77-0. Among other unpleasant things, exams have been present. We all believe the rumor that we’ll be killed off or flunk. Oh, well, all great people must die sometime. October 17-21. We’ve surely had a good time this week. Tuesday, we held a very peppy pep rally, followed by a parade and snake dance up Center street, and University Avenue. Everyone was so full of pep. The team should feel that we are behind them in whatever they attempt to do. The student council appointed the student court and instructed them to begin work right away. Edward Sheya and Hugh Robinson get hard-boiled promptly. Wednesday, we had only half-hour periods all morning and school was dismissed at 1:30 so we could attend the Provo-Payson football game. We had a great time on the way over. The two special Orem cars were decorated with green and white. That night wa celebrated the victory of 19-0 by having a good student body dance. Thursday and Friday, the teachers celebrated at institute. Mrs. Wakefield was elected president of the State Deans of Girls’ association. PAGE NINETY-SIX October 24-28. Blue Monday! Report cards ’n all. Not bragging or anything like that, but we have seen at least one A. Wednesday, the atmosphere began to get quite “Hallowe’enish” as booths and decorations made their appearance. By Friday, we were up to fever heat with excitement. The assembly was the best Carnival assembly ever. Witches and huge pots and charms intrigued us into the spirit of the day. Max D. made a good minister and the corpse, Eureka, received only a gentle reminder of what was to follow, for in the football game, they didn’t score a point against us-but then neither did we, against them. All day, the class treasuries grew in great jumps - - the Seniors sold the hottest chili ever tasted this side of - - the equator. The other classes sold candy, ice cream and hot dogs. At night, the Carnival decorations were unsurpassed. The music was so good, and we were all so thrilled. The winners of the popularity contest, Mary Snyder and Elmo Martin, were king and queen of the Carnival. Caps, horns and whistles made the atmosphere one of a carnival indeed. October 31-November 4. Monday our fears were materialized when Miss (?) Huish displayed a sparkling solitaire on the necessary finger. Wednesday, the Ag. club held their first party, and the Girls’ organization held their group get-acquainted parties. Everyone had a good time. Thursday we held a big bonfire party and snake dance to arouse pep for the Provo-Springville football game. Friday, the “Frosh” were lord and master of all they surveyed. Good assembly and pep rally were held. Clif and Ralph made very good characters of Sampson and Delilah. That afternoon our team won the football game from Springville. 51-0. For a little entertainment at the half, a tug-o-war was staged and the “Frosh” succeeded in pulling the Sophs through a tar sheet. That night, the annual “Green” ball was held and we had a good time. November 7-10. This week the Ag. club held initiations and they surely showed some original ideas. Tuesday, a special assembly was held to advertise the school play. The classes competed in selling tickets. The first student court was held Tuesday and from all appearances, it is going to do its duty. Wednesday and Thursday, the ticket selling campaign was going on in full swing. Thursday night, the school play, “Just out of College” was presented in the high school auditorium to a crowded house. The Seniors won the contest for having the highest percentage of their class at the play. Friday was Armistice Day and the assembly was under the direction of Mr. Stewart and Mr. Eggertson. The special guests were veterans of the Civil, Black Hawk, Spanish American and World wars, Mayor-elect Van Wagenen, Commissioner Hopkins and members of the Service Star legion. Mayor 0. K. Hansen delivered a special Armistice Day address. Friday afternoon we won the football game from Moab, 39-0. If we can win the game from Delta now, the “Bulldogs” will go to the tournament. Our hopes are surely high. PAGE NINETY-SEVEN November 14-18. We all tried to be salesmen this week, because Tuesday a ticket selling campaign started between the classes for the football game Friday. A special pep rally was held and Cicero was introduced to the student body. He is the prize pig to be given to the class selling the most tickts. Wednesday, we passed on the amendments to the constitution, concerning the offices of debating and collecting managers. Thursday, the M. I. A. road show was held in the auditorium, and the Fourth ward walked away with first prize. We ail noticed that the Sophomore class is surely going into ticket selling with its might. With them, it is “whole hog or none.” Friday we were surprised to see a huge turkey and two “non-smellable” skunks calmly reposing in the middle hall. The Ag. and Home Ec. clubs are being mighty original on their day to have charge of activities. Later, we learned that the turkey was to be raffled off in the dance, and that the skunks were there just for fun. The assembly was very good, Mr. E. S. Hinckley being the principle speaker. Cicero, squeal, tail and all, was presented to the Sophomore class. We were surely a thrilled bunch of students, when the “Bulldogs” won the football game with Delta this afternoon 54-6. For the first time, the P. H. S. won a place in the final round of the football race. At the dance everyone had a great time. Ralph Peters, a student of last year, won the turkey. Th only drawback of the whole day, was that the Ag. club prsident, “Speck” Giles, was hurt in the football game, and was unable to enjoy the dance with us. November 21-24. Monday, council met and appointed Edward Sheya manager of debating for the rest of the year. That night, the D. A. C. held their formal banquet in the Junior building. It was one of the biggest social successes of the year. Tuesday, the Thanksgiving Pl'ovonian was issued and Wednesday was a happy day for the student body. The Girls’ organization had charge of the assembly. Professor Boyle of the B. Y. U. was the speaker. “The Haunted House” was given in the auditorium that night by the B. Y. U. student body, the proceeds went to the D. A. C. who were sponsors of the play. Thursday—Tranksgiving!!! Our capacity wasn’t made very large, but we’re thankful it wasn’t made any smaller. November 28-December 2. Blue Monday! Of course, we’re thankful for Thanksgiving, but I’m afraid we lost control of our feelings. Still, they say, there’s an equal reaction for every action. Monday, Ralph, Worthen was appointed collection manager of the student body. Tuesday, a pep club, the “Zipper-ettes” was organized. Friday night, the best pep rally we’ve ever had was staged. Immediately following it, there was a pep dance in the gym for one hour. If pep could win, we surely would be victors to-morrow. Supt. H. Claude Lewis in assembly, complimented us on our good, wholesome spirit. Saturday, the most critical football game of the season was played with West high at the U of U1 stadium in Salt Lake City. We won, (only lacking 25 points—Just kidding West.) Anyway, it was (Continued on Page 100) PAGE NINETY-EIGHT PAGE NINETY-NINE ULy Diary (Continued from Page 98) a good game. The students supported the team exceptionally well, everyone carrying a green and white shaker and cheering for all their might. December 5-9. Report Cards!! Not that we’re bashful or anything like that, but we just don’t believe in this comparing of marks. The Forensic club was organized, with Wendell Vance, president. Tuesday, court was postponed on account of good behavior. Fine, we’re getting better. Wednesday, mysterious “O. B. B.” cards appear in the halls. It’s just a question whether they mean “Order of Bulldog Boosters” or Organization of Bad Boys.” Friday we had a rare treat in assembly. Miss Dorothy Carlson, the champion orator of the United States gave her winning speech. While here, she was a guest of the Forensic club and the Girls’ organization. That night, a dance was given in honor of the football team, and the Coach and each member was given a box of chocolates; a slight token of appreciation from the student body. December 12-16. Thursday, to introduce the new plush curtains for the Little Theatre, the D. A. C. presented the “Classic Dancing School” with Wendell Vance and Ada Hasler in the leads. Friday morning in assembly, the orchestra gave a concert. All day, our souls hummed in harmony, but gave way to violent discord during the first pre-season game with Ephraim that night. Too bad, but we lost the game. December 19-21. Christmas spirit hangs aloft in the air. Monday night, the orchestra gave their annual concert in the auditorium. The Ag. club’s blue and the “Zipperettes’ ” white sweaters appear in the halls. Wednesday—Senior Day! And it was great. Aldous Dixon spoke to the students about the real Christmas spirit and meaning. And didn’t those hip boots of Howard Cottam’s, just about swallow him. At noon, the Senior class sold candy. They must have eaten too much, for the Juniors won the boxing match from them, 23-33. Luck favored us, and we won a basketball game from Spanish Fork. The Senior Hop, held in the Ladies’ gym was a great success. We had a wonderful time, and are starting the holidays out just right. December 25—Christmas! Hope the reaction isn’t too violent. December 31—Ring out wild bells, you voice our sentiments. January 1, 1928—We all resolve not to resolve to resolve that we will resolve to resolve good things. January 3-6. Leap year! Everyone stiff but “rarin’ ” to go. We find, upon our return, many changes in the building. The sewing room is moved to the (Continued on Page 102) PAGE ONE HUNDRED My Diary (Continued from Page 100) Senior building, the student body office is now located on the top floor, the lockers are in new homes and various other changes. Friday, the president of the Chamber of Commerce, E. S. Hinckley, spoke to the student body. After school, the Alumni five played our quintet just for fun—and won—(just for fun?) The girls got their first workout for Leap Year, by having to ask for dates ancj dances at the matinee dance, after the game. January 9-13. Monday, the tryouts for the school opera, “Tulip Time” were held. Wanda Richmond, Donna Ritchie, Ivan Madsen and Rex Richmond won the leads. Thursday, a special assembly was held to advertise the faculty play. That night, Mr. Powelson was formerly introduced to us, as “The Wrong Mr. Wright” and Mrs. Decker, his sweatheart. “Prof” Leaf’s “Egad, I’m a killah” surely was a “killah.” We’re not superstitious, but it pays to be careful on Friday 13. The Alumni entertained the student body throughout the day. After a good assembly, they held a business meeting and Max Taylor was elected president for next year. During the afternoon, free punch was poured freely. Clyde Sandgren was presented an award in assembly for winning national honors in a typewriting contest. We had a basketball game with Lehi, and won, 52-20. To celebrate the victory, a student body dance was held. January 16-20. Monday night, the swimming team showed their worth by defeating East high, 48-12. Friday in assembly, nominations for the editors and business managers of the White and Green and Provonian were held. We won a basketball game from American Fork, after whch we attended a good student body dance. This past week has been a great one for scarfs—every girl in school has had one draped around her person in one way or another. January 23-27. Tuesday, debating tryouts were held, and those winning places on the team were Beth Mangum, Wendell Vance, Edward Sheya, Howard Cot-tam, with Ruth Roberts and Walter Schoenfield as alternates. Friday, Mr. Cornwall gave a very interesting talk in assembly. Walter Roberts was elected editor of the Provonian and Lawrence Bee, business manager. Friday afternoon, Provo and Pleasant Grove exchanged stunts for their pep rallies. Friday seemed just like an “off” day for P. H. S. We lost the swimming meet to L. D. S. and the basketball game to Pleasant Grove. (Continued on Page 105) PAGE ONE HUNDRED TWO PAGE ONE HUNDRED THREE PAGE ONE HUNDRED-FOUR Mi] Diary (Continued from Page 102) January 30-Februrary 3. Tuesday, we had a matinee dance and a good basketball game with the B. Y. High. We beat them four points. Friday, the Harmon oratorical contest was held and Viola McGuire was awarded the medal. That night, the score of the basketball game with Lincoln was 32-20 in our favor. After the game, there was a good dance in the gym. February 6-11. Wednesday was Parents’ day at school. Now, they know what we have all the time. We won another swimming meet from Granite. Thursday, the “Bulldogs” played the B. Y. High again and won 50-19. Friday, Dean Gerrit de Jong told the student body of his travels to Europe. The “Zipperettes” furnished a clever song and dance act to advertise the Girls’ dance. All week, the girls were courageous and asked fellows the fatal question, so that when Saturday night came, the Ladies gym was overflowing with happy, carefree students. In order to put finishing touches on everything, the boys were garnished with roses, thanks to the girls. It was the best Girls’ dance ever held. February 13-17. Monday, a special assembly was held to commemorate the birth of Lincoln. Walter Adams was the principle speaker. Thursday, the Water Spaniels tied, 34-34, with L. D. S. Now who says we can’t swim? Friday, the Seminary gave the assembly program. Wasn’t the song about “Daniel” interesting? Lehi trounced us in the basketball game that night. February 20-25. Tuesday, separate meetings were held for the boys and girls. Yes, confession is good for the soul, if you don’t tell too much. Wednesday, Dr. Middleton of Salt Lake City gave an illustrated lecture on the life of Washington. Class meetings were held immediately following the assembly, then we were all dismissed for a half-day holiday. The shock was almost more than we could stand. Thursday, the S.

All the juniors had special costumes and they looked very petite. The assembly was very clever and original. At noon, the juniors had a candy sale, and after school, several athletic contests were (Continued on Page 129) PAGE ONE HUNDRED SIX Our Couch A man of action; a thinker; of interesting but retiring nature; of high ideals; of good sportsmanship—these qualities have won Coach Simmons a place in the hearts of all the P. H. S. students. He urged the boys to second place in the State Football Tournament, and also helped place them in the State Basketball Tournament. Provo High feels greatly indebted to Coach Simmons for the place they have attained in athletics. PAGE ONE HUNDRED-EIGHT l]ell masters Clifton Passey and Bert Poulton pepped up the school with some clever yells. Their maneuvers, graceful but strenuous, lent a rythm to the cheers that has not before been attained. Their good natures and refreshing wit added a zest to the pep rallies. Through co-operation, this pair have produced a new type of cheer leading that has placed Provo High on a higher plane in the eyes of other schools. •M' V Athletic manager Elmo “Pemo” Martin performed the duties of athletic manager in a capable manner. His ability to handle sport activities has made him an efficient manager. He received honorable mention on the All State football team, and was a star basketball player. However, this did not prevent him from performing the tasks of his office. P. H. S. has appreciated his earnest work. _____ vrM ' cJt 5-------Si JzAt. Football IN the spring of ’27 Coach Glenn Simmons staged a few weeks of workouts for his prospective team of ’28, and at the beginning of school the next fall there were forty men on the field who were dressed in football suits and ready for work. This enthusiastic training proved to be very much worth while and we, the S. B. A., certainly appreciate the efforts and success of our husky gridders. The superiority of the Bulldog gridiron was shown by the fact that no divisional opponent was able to score at all against our “stonewall” eleven. The joust with Delta marked the White and Green squad as contenders for the state championship. The Provo high school men entered this final battle with West Side high school with a fighting spirit, but the strong Panther line spelled defeat for us and we received second state football honors. On the official state gridiron “Sid” Biddulph and “Buke” Robison received positions; two other Buddogs were placed on the second team, and others were given honorable mention.

Coach C. S. Leaf and the boys should be complimented on their splendid successes. At the beginning of the year the hopes of our paddlers were very high, but with the announcement that three of our principle swimmers were ineligible, we were very downhearted and the first meet with L. D. S. resulted in a victory for the Saints. However, swimming fans were amazed to see the wonderful stroke and speed developd in new swimmers by Coach Leaf, and were very surprised to see the Provo high school team nose out L. D. S. and capture first place state honors by a score 44-40. The competition was very close and the final victor remained undecided until the medley relay. Special mention should be made of “Bud” Shields, a P. H. S. alumnus and a sophomore at the B. Y. U., who shattered two national records at the inter-collegiate meet. “Bud” was one of our outstanding swimmers during his four years in high school and much credit is due to Coach Leaf for his ultimate success. PAGE ONE HUNDRED EIGHTEEN ARCHIE MILLET CHARLES THOMAS MAYNARD SORENSON PAGE ONE HUNDRED NINETEEN Posture Parade FIRST place was awarded the Provo High posture parade, coached by Anna E. Decker, in the B. Y. U. Invitational Track and Field meet held April 28. Schools from all over the state competed in the parade; Murray winning second place, and Lehi and American Fork taking third honors. Girls from every class competed in the preliminaries to obtain a place on the Frovo High parade. Eliminations were held, and those girls winning places were required to be out for practice every morning at seven o’clock. The purpose of the posture parade is to create more interest in good posture. It has been helpful to not only those girls who entered, but to onlookers as well. It was healthful and invigorating exercise, and heartily enjoyed by all who entered. PAGE ONE HUNDRED TWENTY PAGE ONE HUNDRED TWENTY-ONE PAGE ONE HUNDRED TWENTY-TWO Track Team track team has added honor to Provo High’s name this year through its splendid showing in the B. Y. U. Invitational Track and Field meet. Ripple captured first in the 440 yard dash and in the 880 yard dash. Scott took first in the shot put; Biddulph second in the pole vault, and Call second in the mile run. Warner of the Junor High captured first in the shot put. Provo also took second in the medley relay. From the large number of entries representing most of the schools in the state, we feel proud of the way our team came to the front. The Provo High boys have been through strict training under the direction of Coach Simmons since early in the spring. They deserve credit for their hard work. In the County track meet, we feel confident of a high showing, and wish our boys success.

Assembly was in the form of class meetings Ito nominate student body officers for next year. Legislative council was held after school to vote on the officers who should run in the preliminaries.
