Anna Christensen Type I II, Intermediate Type, Shorthand I II Etta Jones Library, Type I Clicking typewriters, inky fingers, whirling mimeograph machines, and balanced ledgers were trademarks of the Provo High business department. 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-

Provo High's spacious, well-equipped library was probably one catalog indispensible in locating a piece of information. The of the most frequented rooms in the building. From eight o'clock camera caught Jean Williams, Francine Butler, and Nikki Kruse until four, students streamed in to browse, study, do research absorbed in fulfilling a reading assignment. In addition to serving work, or just relax and read. Clyde Morgan found the card students during class time, the library functioned before school.

Joyce Carter, Judy Hoover, Sue Morgan, and Sue Kay seemed absorbed in world history studies as they delved into the past. History students at Provo High were taught to interpret current events and present-day trends in terms of what has gone before. Believing that the present is rooted in the past, instructors labored to give coherent pictures of time epochs from the Egyptian civilization down to today's varied cultures. Alexander, Caeser, Napoleon, Queen Elizabeth, Henry VIII, Thomas A. Beckett — these were only a few of the colorful characters who lived again for a short time in the history classes. June C.
