Provo High School - Provost Yearbook (Provo, UT)

Text from Pages 1 - 138 of the 1938 volume:

The most priceless source of our latent wealth lies in the potential citizenship of students who by the process of education arc being developed, refined, and moulded into individuals with the vision to see the needs of our race and the courage and wisdom to shape events so that we may all advance to higher planes of living and thinking in this ever changing world. Fo revo y6 To those who have felt the need for education and have made it possible for all of us who live in America, we dedicate this book. The daily host to eight hundred happy school youths, this building with its cool halls and sunlit rooms is rich in tradition and the treasured memories of days that are passed, but which will ever linger to haunt its shaded walls. Above: A favorite campus view that in future years will bring back memories that time can never dim. Below: A blend of the art of nature with the art of man in a memory for years to come when you will look back on yourselves as the youth of yesterday.” -Qdmlnh tration tie tangei and gtaii coveted Jtilli of) early pioneer dayi futnbled food and ileitet fot a great variety of wi ■Ulfc. . . game wlicl abounded evert)where provided a natural ioutce of food for txapper and tanclet. . .

However, every once in a while a rarity is found in almost any field. We have such an individual as our superintendent. A contagious sense of humor, a patient understanding of child and student problems, and an ability to cooperate and work with any type of group or individual typify Mr. Moffitt. His success in any field of endeavor that he has tried bears this out. The Board of Education as it stands has met and solved many trying problems during the present year. We as students and faculty of the Provo High School appreciate their unselfish efforts to give us the best in educational possibilities. BOARD OF EDUCATION Reading from left to right: Algic E.

Weight, leader, teacher, naturalist, and educator has left behind in this first year a consistent record of growth and advancement for Provo High School in the realms of education. He makes a visit to his office, instead of a dread, the desire of every student. He is always willing to hear their problems and to try to help them. His genial attitude and cooperative spirit makes him the number one campus friend of faculty and student. He is the man whose vibrant personality has penetrated itself into every vein of school life and with him the school will always maintain the leadership he has helped them to win. He is ever working, ever striving, to build for us a bigger and better Provo High. KENNETH E. WEIGHT Principal FACULTY Faculty (left to right) : Wing, Simmons. Bench. Slack. Tanner. Reese. Stewart.

Cooperating in every way with faculty and students for the building of a better high school, they have added much to the good feeling and fellowship among students by their introduction of a greater variety and quantity of interclass activity. (20) Greater enthusiasm and better support of athletic events, the improvement of club activity, finer dances, and higher scholarship among students start the long list of accomplishments they have brought about during the past year. A body whose desire to improve and willingness to cooperate has brought to a happy conclusion one of the most active, successful and profitable years in the history of Provo High School. BETH BIRD __ [f m 7 GIRLS' ORGANIZATION Activity plus .... that's the Girls’ Organization. Beginning with their first skating party they have filled the year with such major attractions as the Senior Tea, Girls' Barn Party, bike hikes, skating parties, and inter-class contests concluding with that classic of the school year—Girls’ Day. T o them is due much of the credit for the success of the past year.

Dealing with the joys and sorrows, the ambitions and dreams, and the minor tragedies of that dramatic age of adolescence, it was a glorious heart-warming comedy. From the first act when the mischevious Hollis twins play havoc with their father’s shoe store until the curtain fell the play was a success. Throughout the production the antics of the “Secret Seven.” an organization composed of friends of the Hollis twins, kept the audience in laughter. When everything seemed hopelessly lost, fate intervened, and the twins emerged from their trying time completely satisfied with the results of their conscientious efforts.

The General plans to leave his entire estate to a beautiful girl singer, Rosalie, because of her interest in music, and plans to have her marry a worthless count who desires the money. Doolittle, the General’s son who has been away for a long time, unexpectedly returns and seeing Rosalie falls in love and saves the General’s money and the girl, who he marries.

In addition to earnestly attempting to uphold the Provonian's traditional standards of quality, the staff learned to incorporate modern trends of writing and makeup into a seven column paper, originally six. Such arrangements were intended to improve the symmetry and readibility of the paper. To present school news in an impartial and effective way was the main purpose of the staff. An equally important ambition was practical improvement of each writer's efforts in the creative literary field while undertaking the regular duties of publishing bi-weekly editions. Creation of genuine interest in school life through articles of a high type was one of the values intended to be gained by the student body. Out of these designs better journalism was the hoped-for result. The Provonian staff has felt that each new improvement wrought upon this organ of school life will serve as an impetus to the development of the publication during each succeeding year. f 80) Blanche Weight Exchange Editor Glen Snarr Sports Editor V Betty Mildenhall La Mar Eggertson Joyce Adamson Bill Rasmussen (81) OhS Editor JIMMY STRONG Associate Editor CONTRIBUTORS OREa B.

HOME EC CLUB Last year five foreign students were given a scholarship to study at American universities with the money contributed by the foreign scholarship fund. Every club member all over the nation contributes one cent. Provo High Home Ec. Club contributed to this national movement one hundred per cent this year. We hear everywhere of “Men of Letters,” but at Provo High we have evidence of “Ladies of Letters.” The picture above caught this versatile group in one of its many activities. With an appetite for learning what makes things go the Science Club has delved into the mysteries of intriguing Mother Nature. After a winter of studying social problems, this group could be put into our legislatures and probably solve all of our economic ills.

At the end of a tragedy-less year, with the curtain ready to ring down on the school activities, we are shocked by the sudden and untimely death of Brig. Brig and his father met death under the crushing weight of an overturning truck on the night of May 1 2. while enroutc to Arizona. The school mourns the passing of a promising athlete and regular fellow. m) Tle strengtl of tie Soil ii tie Strengtl of tie nation. . . . -(-)i an army moves on a jull Stomacl, io does a country. . . .

Bulldog teams won regional championships in basketball, tennis, and track, a feat that has not been accomplished in many years. In football Provo was less fortunate, placing fifth in the league. Head Coach Glenn Simmons deserves a great deal of credit for his outstanding work in developing teams of such a high calibre. High praise should also go to Coach Ivan Young and the many athletes who worked and sacrificed for the “good of the team.’ RALLY LEADERS Bill Selck Tub ' Elliott Mick” Elliott bulld The Provo High Bulldogs clashed with some of the stiffest competition in the history of the school in the 1937 football campaign.

A team whose excellent ability and fine sportsmanship returned to the Provo High School for the first time in nine years the championship of Region Three. The only black mark on Provo’s clean slate was chalked up by the Lchi Pioneers in an early game on the Lehi floor. The defeat was later avenged when the Bulldogs turned the tables on them in an extra period thriller. Other highlights of the season were two victories over the favored American Fork Cavemen. The first contest ended with Provo holding a three point margin of victory. They repeated their triumph in the final game of the season in a soul-stirring encounter that had the GRAHAM Monte Petersen Nils n takes one off the bank beard against Weber. --State 'Tournament shot. ARTISTS championship hanging in the balance. In the state tournament they were defeated the first two days and so dim inated from the meet. They suffered their first defeat at the hands of a fast Weber quint and were downed the second day by the high flying Dixie Fliers. In the first game the Bulldogs lack of experience and trouble in finding the hoop cost them the game. Against the Fliers they showed improved form but were defeated by the hoopsters from down south in one of the most thrilling games of the entire tournament. In both games the Bulldogs failed to reach the form that brought them the Alpine crown. The 1 938 basketball team brought honor and glory to their school and established for themselves a record of which they may always be proud.

THURGOOD ALDER Olsen U9UiOu � 4 (SI I) THE G. A. A. SPEAKS Ruth Morris Dean of Girls A few years ago I was organized as a national unit, designed for the purpose of interesting, to the point of activity, every girl in some physical recreation. Being a progressive school, P. H. S. of course included me in her long list of clubs. As this list of clubs was so long, I was allowed to be pushed into the background, a sad. lonely, and bashful organization. But with the help of Charm and Personality classes this year I have developed into a full-fledged and popular club. I have had more members than any other similar organization in the school. This was probably due to the fact that I had more activities and more officers. A president, vice-president, secretary, intra-mural manager, and five sports managers have been watching over my every move for the past school year. I was first taken to a “fun Kids' Barn Party, held in the boys’ gym. And none of the boys were allowed. Every girl attended and had lots of cider and do-nuts, and breathed in the odors of coal-oil lamps, chickens, rusty iron, corn stalks, and listened to the wonderful music of an old-fashioned orchestra. My teacher advisers, Mrs. Tanner. Miss Morris, and Miss Reid, were present to see that I did not drink too much, nor eat too much, just as they have been present at all of my good times. vaunda Mitchell Intramural Manager BASKETBALL Back row.

In quick succession a journey to Salt Lake City to the state-wide convention of others of my family, and an ice-skating party on the lake followed. At the skating party over 200 girls made numerous cracks in the ice. And some 75 boys also intruded. Throughout the winter I have been taken to softball, speedball. ping pong, basketball tournament games, and bowling in the local alley. The thing that stands out most clearly in my mind is the Girls' Day Dance in the B. Y. U. Ladies’ Gym. And closely rivaling it is the assembly and banquet and basketball game all held on the same day. And about a million pretty girls have signed their names in my annual. Then I attended the B. Y. U. Invitational Meet held April 29-30. There I saw our girls team walk away with first place in the potato relay, for eight girls: third place in the 440 relay, for four girls: second, third, and fourth places in the baseball throw: and third place in the high jump. For my spring airing. I was taken hiking, bicycle riding, and on archery contests. I must not forget to mention that I also had regular Friday lessons in charm and personality and all sports techniques. And for my final education, I was tendered a lovely spring festival at the Pioneer Park at which time every club came out and participated in honor of my debut. P. H. S. has done wonders for me, and me for her. I wonder what next year will bring? GIRLS’ ATHLETIC ASSOCIATION (I 17) bicycle hike a bicycle on ecery took. «pec UIiy°whenk,nh vbeat ,Wo P r a« high.
