Mr. Rigby advised the two very capable editors, Terrie Tuckett and Carolyn Hyde. He gave many helpful hints for yearbook planning and production. Cheryl Clark and Carol Westover, with the help of Mr. Kenner, covered three areas: selling, advertising, and departments. Provost Staff Battled Deadlines Drawing pictures with words was a challenge to copywriters Linda Breckenridge, Anne Higgins, Suzanne Olson, and Fawn Scheuer. Mrs. Taylor gave sound advice. SILENCE FELL OVER the Yearbook Art room as Mr. Rigby stood before the class. “All right! Who just opened the dark room door?” This was one of a maze of problems that confronted the Yearbook staff during the year. Often a visitor peeked into the class, and all he saw was a mass of utter confusion—layouts lying on desks and cabinets, people at the paper cutter cropping pictures, copy writers running to Mrs. Taylor for last-minute corrections, photographers adjusting and readjusting light meters, artists diligently working on the cover design. All had the same objective—meet the deadline or die. Discouraged staff members were gently — and sometimes not so gently—prodded on by the two editors, Carolyn Hyde and Terrie Tuckett. BY THE END of the year, the students had mastered a new language. Yearbook talk. “Never bleed into the gutter unless, of course, you’re using a full page bleed.” Many other small but important details were mastered under the able guidance of Mr. Rigby, the staff advisor. THE YEARBOOK STAFF HAD two principal goals in mind while they worked on Provost ’62 —to receive an All American rating and especially to produce an outstanding record book of, by, and for the students of Provo High School.

Editor Marilyn Poll and advisor Mr. Lindstrom set an All-American rating as Fletcher Stumph, Christine Cloward, Wayne Stewart, and their goal. Peggy Vance, as publicity editor, worked with local newspapers. Dorothy Jensen (seated) handled the ads and photography. Reporters Toiled at Night Sessions Page editors Bcbbi Hansen (features), Bob Slack (sports), Roger Moore (news), and Nancy DeBloois (editorials) were responsible for the layouts and stories. “WILL SOMEONE WRITE this headline for me?” This question was frequently heard among the students of journalism at Provo High. In fact, by deadline day many of them needed more than just a headline. Reporters w’ere rushing around trying to collect material for last-minute news articles. Photographers were busy lining their people up for special pictures. Marilyn Poll, the staff’s hard-working editor, was pleading with the page editors to finish their assignments and hand them in before the class ended. However, the paper usually came out at the appointed hour and the staff members sat down in their chairs, took a deep breath, and then started on the next edition of the Provonian. SOPHOMORES INTERESTED in journalism took English J. This class prepared them to become part of the Provonian staff the following year. Provo High students were continually referring to their Pro-Logs, produced by the English J class. Long lists of students’ and teachers’ names, phone numbers, and addresses had to be typed, alphabetized, checked, and re-checked to complete this helpful student directory. Then class members pursued the drudgery of grammar. -30-
