And in the same manner that has given them a reputation of efficiency they did that job in a manner to make anyone proud. We all have a great deal of respect for the Board, not only for what they have done for us. but also for what they have done for all of Provo's schools. iUiuHuiuuss IllIPIw Students of Provo High School: This year terminates into history of a world of war and misunderstanding. I sincerely hope that your school has provided for you a series of experiences that will enable you to genuinely love democracy as a means of social and political control. I likewise hope you will have achieved an ability to think honestly of other people in the nations of the world: that you will appreciate the contributions they have made to increase civilization, but that in it all you will devote your own ability and strength to the end that mankind everywhere may be free to live, to think, and to achieve. Sincerely, Dr. J. C. Moffitt Students of Provo High School: Each individual must meet successfully the challenge of the complex, modern world if real happiness is to be enjoyed. It is my hope that the many and varied experiences you have received during this school year will help you to meet intelligently the demands placed upon you each day. Real learning means the development of worthwhile ideals and attitudes as well as facts. With this combination, Provo High School students should make ideal citizens in our democratic society.

With the students always in mind, there wasn't a chance of anything being done unsatisfactorily. The popularity of these students can well serve as a sign of their efficiency. Secretary SHERMAN COLEMAN Student Manager The executive council is made up of the student body officers, presidents of boys' and girls' organizations, editors, associate editors and business managers of publications, class presidents, and public service groups. Its purposes are leadership, organization and service. Each member of this council has great responsibility to the organization he represents and to the school as a whole. They are also members of the legislative council. EXECUTIVE COUNCIL LEGISLATIVE COUNCIL Every group has its leaders. Provo High’s leaders make up the Legislative Council. Elected by the students themselves, they represent the entire student body in matters of government. Every issue introduced had a thorough evaluation for its merits and demerits. Any measure that did pass through unscarred, you can be sure, was best for us. Everybody was invited to attend the meetings held before school and take part in the discussion to insure the democratic tradition we hold so high at this time. These girls, Colleen Rowan, Pat Hatch, Doris Harrison, and Jean Bennett, headed the Girls' Organization in 1940-41, and they did a swell job too. They sponsored a Girls' Jamboree Girls' Day Dance, and other goodies. Jean's only statement in regard to her school year as president of the G. O. was, I’m nuts—about nuts! GIRLS’ ORGANIZATION Jean Bennett. President ’ v President—Rex Minor The Boys’ Organization headed by Rex Minor Mark Nilsen, and Chad Clark did the Boys’ Day Dance up proud. The Dance was the climax of Boys’ Day which went off without a hitch. A policy of quality instead of quantity applied to the decorations saved us some money and gave us all a much needed change of scenery. The assembly (boys only participating) was a riot and something we won't forget for some time. BOYS' ORGANIZATION ;n RUTH ERCANBRACK Assemblies PUBLIC SERVICE These two girls have given the school a great service throughout the school year in handling the assemblies and lost and found articles. We wish to thank them for the fine work each has done. We will all appreciate their efforts more if we think back to all the enjoyable assemblies we have had, or if we lost something, how glad we were to get it back. Next year's public service group will have to go some to equa' the record set by Ruth and Vivien. SALESMEN BANQUET This page was reserved for Memoriam; however, since no one has died, we are devoting it to the living—and what I mean living! The mortals pictured here are the Provost salesmen for 1941. They were given a banquet to help acknowledge the really wonderful job they did of selling yearbooks. A sort of rivalry sprang up right at the first between Doris Harrison and Vivien Haws. As a result, both far exceeded expectations regarding number of sales and we sold 500 yearbooks as a whole! You couldn't expect anything else from such a happy smiling group. Doesn't that top right picture fairly make your mouth water? e uo BRUCE REESE President tj MARGENE ULLENOUIST Secretary RONALD KNUDSEN Vice President Bill Burch Alene Harding Norma Christiansen Henry Huish Douglas Holm Lois Dunkley Dorthea Clark Bob Hickman Lorraine Adamson lay Garrett Mack Jensen Feme Frandsen Moyle Harward Bettie Davis Twenty Vt-t Dean I.

They carried it out in the form of a Jamboree, strictly for girls (except the photographer and his assistants). Lots of fun, doughnuts, and cider was had by everyone. We're sure that many of the girls became acquainted with each other and a few real friendships were probably started that night. VARIETY SHOW This year the Variety Show, headed by Miss Richmond and Mr. Young, gave us all a few hearty laughs and an evening of varied entertainment. The program showed the result of many hours of earnest practice on the part of each participant. Much credit is due the people who give their time each year to initiate and present such a show. I guess we enjoyed most the Scrub Women's dance so ably executed by the fellows who represented the wives of the faculty. Claude Snow’s Indian dancers were great and would probably have gone over just as well without the expert handling of the light effects. THALES SMITH Narrator CLINTON OAKS ALGENE BALLIF Leads OUR TOWN Provo High School witnessed a revolutionary presentation of the annual competitive play this year. Under Claude Snow's gifted touch, a radical departure from anything yet seen on our stage was ardently received by one of the largest audiences in our history. The characters portrayed by Clinton Oaks and Algene Ballif more than exceeded our expectations. Each member of the cast did a magnificent job of interpreting the different roles. There was no scenery used in Our Town. You probably remember the imaginary setting better than if there had been realistic scenery. School and Civic approval makes it unnecessary for us to say more. Fifty-nine ONE ACT PLAYS Laughs, screams, cries and shrieks have caused many a curious inquiry sixth period as the dramatic class, supervised by Claude Snow, speech instructor, has directed and produced 18 plays and various scenes for assemblies, Dramatic Art Club and the community. Plays ranging from melodrama to modern sophisticated comedy have proved interesting and educational. •le'’ by O’niel placed at the B.Y.U.

COMEDY OF ERRORS Contrary to the writeup in the April Fool Edition of the Provonian, Provo High's version of William Shakespeare's famous play, Comedy of Errors , was a real success. It played to full houses each night, and everyone seemed to enjoy it. Dick Wiseman and Dick Johnson in the roles of the two Antipholi looked enough alike that even the audience sometimes became confused. This is the second attempt by Claude Snow to get away from the Tom Sawyer type action sometimes seen on our stage. If it was accepted as genuinely as it was apparent, from now on we'll be getting some very fine productions to attend. ORCHESTRA Provo High is proud of its orchestra this year; and for good reason. Our group is recognized throughout the state as one of the best. Groups taken from the orchestra have played at ward functions, radio programs, and at our assemblies all winter. The high point of their success was not easily attained. Wesley Pearce set high ideals and many of the instrumentalists were not able to meet the demands and were duly dropped. As a result, our orchestra is one of the best in Utah if not in the whole country. CONTEST RATING GRADE A BAND Provo High has a swell band! With requirements as exacting as the orchestras, their excellence is of equal merit. Many students play in both. The band played for football and basketball games, assemblies, and took high honors in different band contests. They did a swell job al the tourney, probably ought to get some credit for our winning so con-sistenely. Mr. Pearce has done wonders in fhe three years he has been here. We hope he does as well in years to come. The only school in Utah to have both a band and orchestra rating grade A BOYS GLEE SINGING GROUPS Well, how did you like the Christmas Chorus? We surely thought it was grand. Mr. Paxman has done wonders with his fine group of talented voices. Ours wasn't the only appearance they made either. They were busy all winter singing at wards and other assemblies. The organ backdrop was Mr. Paxman's brainchild but never could have been except for Max Germer's genius behind the paint brush. Let's have more very enjoyable presentations just like that—O.K.? GIRLS' GLEE Sixly-four DEPARTMENTAL ACm T E5 With a total of 13 entries in the B. Y. U. Speech Festival, speech contestants this year scored the highest general excellence ever achieved by Provo High and placed in more events than any other school. Nine awards were presented. Numbers scoring were the girls' humorous reading, boys' and girls' dramatic readings, radio drama, one act play, extemporaneous speaking, and pantomime. Special awards were given to Algene Ballif for characterization and to Clinton Oaks for diction. Contestants were Louise Judd, humorous reading; Jean Cox, retold story; Claron Oakley, Renee Mortensen, Betty Nash, original radio drama written by Claron and supervised by Claude Snow, speech instructor; Algene Ballif, Earl Callahan, dramatic readings; Deanne Merrill, Clinton Oaks, Jean Reese, original pantomime by Deanne; Phyllis Bench, Bruce Reese, orations; and Clinton Oaks extemporaneous speaking. DEBATE Six teams were chosen to represent the school in inter-school tournaments. Two teams, Earl Callahan and Bruce Reese in class A and Wayne Drysdale and Jack Ekins in class B, won awards of special merit in the second day's debating at Weber College. Other members were Marrial Clark and Isabel David; Ada Taylor and Macksine Harding; Clinton Oaks and Dallas Young; and Bob Bean and Leon Frazier. So Participating in the Weber College Debate Tournament, University of Utah Speech Tourney, B.Y.U. Speech Festival, practice debates with East and Granite High Schools, of Salt Lake City, Springville and Wasatch High Schools, and numerous debates within classes, P.H.S. debaters exhibited much enthusiasm this year. tty-seven SHORTHAND, TYPE TEAMS AND BOOKKEEPING As evidenced by the trophy proudly held by LaVon Whiting, the shorthand teams did a right this year. Congratulations to Barbara Bailey, Claron Oakely. Grant Larsen, Sherman Cole-Mrs. Spencer, LaVon Whiting, and Doris Harrison. This group represents the type teams entered in the B. Y. U. Commercial Contest. Two members were unavoidably absent. Even though they didn't take top honors they deserve credit for the consistent effort it takes to become a good typist. Here are the bookkeepers for 1941. Although Mr. Boyack wouldn't admit it, they too didn't breeze into first place. Nevertheless they have made good records all year. And don’t forget, there is still another year for some of them and I'm sure we ll see big things from them. Sixty-eight c 0 M M E R C 1 A L Under the able direction and instruction of Mrs. Spencer and Mr. Kenner, the commercial department produced a very competent group this year. They entered the B. Y. U. Commercial Contest and made some fine records. From this group, no doubt will come the able stenographers and secretaries of tomorrow. Sixty-nine Seventy poffucgrms Harold Boyack Foculry Business Advisof To the staff, this yearbook represents more than an interesting recording of school events. It has meant a rich accumulation of experience that would be difficult to get in any other way. Every page is a unique problem in design. The pictures, copy, art work and all must be carefully proportioned and arranged for eye-appeal as well as legibility. Nearly all high schools hire the engravers to layout the entire book thus greatly simplifying the work for the yearbook staff. We have done all of our page designing, art work and fine lettering because we place great value upon originality and ex-pcrionco. One of our chief aims is to produce a book fresh in style, and free of triteness. Ruth Robertson Photograph Appointments Jay Garrett Assistont Editor Dean Dallin Art Bill Burch PropoQarvda BOB BEAN Editor MARGARET WILSON Business Manager Well, it looks like the Provonian has completed another full year with flying colors. I'm sure well all agree that every issue was thoroughly read and enjoyed. The Provonian staff had a big job writing articles, arranging makeup, and getting the paper printed; but each member probably feels he, or she, was amply repaid by the experience and the satisfaction of accomplishment received. ftatinq 3 J Shaiqht eat Seventy-four Grant Hickman Chrystal Rasmussen Beth Elliott Dorothy Hatch Ada Taylor Florence Ayers Kelly Gardner FINE ARTS The Fine Arts Club celebrated its third anniversary under its original sponsor, Max Germer. Their meetings all had a definite purpose and really accomplished something. Their lake party was full of excitement, but everybody had a good time in spite of the difficulties they encountered. USHERS Where would you like to sit? If you’re early enough the ushers will find you a good seal. Through their efforts. seating has become a minor problem and made going to games and plays a pleasure. Prompt and courteous service typifies the good work of the ushers. PHOTOGRAPHY If you have never been a camera fiend or ''shutter-bug'' you can't possibly appreciate the interest and enthusiasm that holds this club together. Every member is a devoted fan, which means he knows all there is to know thu „,t a„d is s,in learning. s E L o W I Ac,ob The Home Eco Se|oW,a changed it n . combi- fa'L fables standing nation of sy io the !°r ed SeTtands for serenity: wi represents w.s- r.nd « fin,. • •“ for artistic. Hats off to the Qui Viva folks—not only because they are beautiful girls but also for the hard work they have put in to perfect their marching and tumbling. Many times after school and during the lunch hour you could have found these peppy girls in practice for a basketball game. Their marching at the half has added punch and spirit to an appreciative audience. We are all really proud of our Qui Viva. .... President Vice President Secretary Mildred Bonnett Jackie Wragg Patty Lee Brockbank MOVIE The purpose of the Movie Club is, as stated in the Pro-Log, To work together for an understanding of what is best in motion pictures and to make the information available to every person in the school and community. However, we don't need this to tell us—we all have consulted the poster in the main hall for an appraisal of some picture we were doubtful about. BOUNCERS Above that white sweater with Bouncer written across a green circle, you'll always find a smile and friendly word—if you are doing what you should be doing! If you're not, well, no need to elaborate on that. Our assemblies have gone off smoothly since we learned how to behave with the aid of this service club. The Eugenics society is one of the up and coming organizations in the school. Its members are students of Mr. Young's Eugenic and Genetic classes who make the effort to come out. As a result, only enthusiastic members are present at the lectures. A highly educational and enjoyable program is presented each year. THERMAL THUMBERS This club evolved purely from interest. It is without faculty sponsorship, but nevertheless it is becoming one of the most educational organizations on the campus. The boys design their gas models from prop to rudder in the drafting room; scale them up, and build them. The thrill that comes in the initial flight repays the efforts a hundred fold. Betty Davis and Dean Madsen—a singing duet. They rendered numbers at wards and assemblies, did really well too. The Provost attempts to give every student due recognition for accomplishments made and services rendered. We print this page to Insure that these names will be known where otherwise their praise miqh; have gone unsung. We are proud of these people. They gave their time to make life cosier and more pleasant for the rest of us. These are the boys responsible for the fine artwork around school in the form of posters, dance decorations, etc. They are: Stan Stubbs, D o u g la s Busterud, Jerry Storrs, Harold Holmes, and De-Monte Johnson. Bruce Dixon at work above! You've heard the flute trio over KOVO and on our stage many times. Donna El-lertson, Sam Pratt, and Allen Jensen. Lorraine Adamson, Ada Taylor. Maxine Harding. Marqene Liljenquist—Secretaries. Super Snaps . . . Eighty-eight The dance held by the Selowia Club was one of the highlights of the year. With the library for its setting and Dean Clark’s orchestra for music, it couldn't have failed to be a good time for all. This orchestra, picked from students right here at P. H. S., has done a fine job playing at dances. Once during the year in every girl's life, a day is set aside for her. During this 24 hours she and her kind take over responsible positions in the local government, decorate for and hold the dance, and in general rule the day. At the dance a queen is crowned who reigns supreme over all her kingdom. More power to these fair lassies. Left to right: Elaine Huish (seated), Lois Dunkley. Mar-oaret Wilson, and Anna Leo Strote. All set? You Bet! With this introduction the Cheer Masters led us in many rousing cheers; much to the consternation of the referees when their whistles were silenced by the bedlam. The cheers were really planned and tried out in pep assemblies (did you go?) to try to pep up the school spirit. What do you think? Weren t the games more exciting and mterest.ng with the help of these three kids? We II do well to better them or even equal them next year. Thomas Adams PETE PRUssE Alhlelic Manage QLENN SIMMONS {'Ocrch Under the able leadership of these men, Provo's Green and White Bulldogs really went places this year. For the first time in Provo High's history, we won the coveted and fought for State Basketball Championship. A real highspot in the year for Coach Simmons, the team and the student body: ! ET hires r«ne Keeper It is fitting to mention here that Walt Hires did his last job of timekeeping this year and we will all miss him at the official's table. Intramural basketball and a Beefer's Bust were a few of the extra programs under the direction of the athletic department. Ninety-seven Grant Richins Ronald Knudsen FOOTBALL Instead of just one captain, this year we had two co-captains, Grant Richins (left) and Ronald Knudsen (right). Two great guys and a great job of leadership. Provo High School was lucky this year to have such a fine team. But luck wasn't the reason for winning so many games, practice was. Every team member put in plenty of time perfecting the many plays and formations. Coach Kimball did some fine work with his boys this year and we all appreciate it.

Provo was rated the underdog after a very discouraging district contest. When we lost to the B. Y. High on our own floor, not one of us had an idea we would even see tourney play. Even after successive winnings at the Ute Fieldhouse, our chances were thought slim of copping the championship. Well, we all know what happened! Although the Tribune was slow to say so, Provo's five did a perfect job of defense. As a result of that and some fancy hoop play, the Bulldogs wear the state crown for the first time in history. The class of 41 will go down forever as the first to see their old alma mater fight to the finish and come out State Champs. Left to right, front row: Junior Preece.

The Girls' Athletic Association meets every Wednesday after school and participates in various sports — basketball, volley ball, baseball, etc. It sponsored a tournament in Volley Ball and Basketball this year. This well trained squad was selected by tryouts from seventy-five girls. At the annual track meet at the B. Y.U. they received tripple A rating —one of two entries to qualify for that distinction. Ruth Naylor, upper right, qualified for more events than any other girl in the meet. Provo High has a real athlete in that girl—and only a sophomore! One hundred seven MADSEN CLEANING CO.
