Because it was reading day, Friday was the favorite day of Mrs. Hayward's English students. On this day, they read a book selected from a wide variety of classic and current literature. Morris Nelson, Sandra Rasmussen, Nancy Bennett, Paulette Kisan, lynnae Riggs and Steve Parry mulled over selections, while Lee Bate, Marilyn Barney, and Bill Brown plunged into their assignment. LANGUAGE Students of English discovered that a thorough understanding of the language is a prerequisite for success. From the meaning of a noun to exacting compositions, they learned the technicalities of English and the art of self-expression. There is high correlation between skillfull word usage and worldly success. Recognizing this fact, English students worked daily to improve their ability to handle words skillfully and correctly. Increasing vocabulary, learning to spell, writing themes, reading books, absorbing the fundamentals of grammar, using the library — these were only a few of the tasks that challenged their ingenuity and made English one of the most-or least—rewarding of all subjects, depending on each individual's degree of mastery. libbie C.

Students pounded their typewriters, struggled over their shorthand, and practiced making sales talks with the hope that they might qualify for jobs when the year was over. Introduction to and preparation for the business world were goals of the business department. Aromatic pine boughs, tinseled stars, shimmering baubles — these, under the deft fingers of the DECA Club members, were the materials that transformed Provo High's rooms and halls into scenes of Yuletide Joy. Decorators were Carol Peters, Carolyn Hill, Lillian Johnson, Joan Muhlestein, Jackie Lindley. BUSINESS LIBRARY Typing was one of the most helpful skills high school students could master. Bert Rawlins, Linda Hinckley, LaDonna Houtz and Nancee Nisonger worked diligently to increase their speed and accuracy, enabling them to type papers for other classes, as well as preparing them for future jobs. 23-
