IS THERE A PAIR of brown leather gloves in the lost and found? Is Mr. Trcgeagle in? What class does John Smith take this period? These are only typical of the many questions students asked Mrs. Jones, the school secretary. Besides acting as receptionist, she kept the school files, typed credit transcripts, and generally “kept house” in the busy office. THE HARASSED MALE received solace from Mr. Warner, dean of boys. He gave sound advice, stern or friendly as the situation demanded. He was a familiar figure to students who took the NEDT, NMSQT, and other group tests, and to every boy . . . good, bad, or indifferent. MRS. HAYWARD was directly responsible for the female populace. In addition to handling its registrations, class changes, personal problems, etc., she advised the Ciirls’ Organization. ANY QUALMS the sophomores had when they were called into Mr. Asay’s office were soon lost as they talked to their counselor. He helped them understand tests showing their abilities and preferences and helped them plan their future. MR. HUGHES, the man who gave these tests, knows things about the students they don’t know themselves ... he has all the I. Q. tests filed. ALL WORKED TOGETHER to make education more effective for the students of Provo High. Working as counselors at PHS are Mr. A say and Mr. Hughes. They advise students who need help in choosing vocations. Mrs. Jones, secretary of the main office, works as a registrar and files the many transcripts of the students. HelpStudents Alleviate Diverse Problems Mrs. Libbie Hayward, dean of girls, always greets the numerous female visitors she has during the day with a warm, friendly smile. Mr. Max Warner, dean of boys, has a knack for making people feel at ease. He helps the boys with many of the problems that face them. —13—

No one is as proud of Provo High’s trophies as Principal Trcgeagle. A gradual.; of PHS in 1923 and the principal of it for seventeen years, he has seen the numerous hard-fought battles that account for the well-filled showcases. At the Awards Assembly Mr. Trcgeagle recounts the events and contests that have contributed to another successful year for Provo High. Mr. Weight, one of the more prominent figures on the Provo High campus, discharges many services in his role as assistant principal. One of these services is announcing events and instructions over the public address system daily to the student body. This reminds the students of coming activities. Principal Tregeagle and Vice-Principal Weight often find it necessary to meet and discuss school business. Their efforts make PHS a school which the students can be proud to attend. Admininistrators PROBABLY THE MOST vital, demanding position in the organization of a high school is that of the principal. He must possess the many qualities which characterize a good leader. Principal D. V. Tregeagle served Provo High School in a most capable way. He graduated from P.H.S. in 1923 and later taught here. This experience certainly gave him an insight into the problems he faced during the year. Even with his busy schedule, Principal Tregeagle didn’t fail to make friends among the students he encountered each day throughout the school. He further showed his interest in the students by attending assemblies, games, plays and concerts. KENNETH WEIGHT OCCUPIED the number two position in our school faculty. His days were filled with the many tasks that a large school such as Provo High demanded. He helped co-ordinate extra-curricular activities that made our school life more pleasant. Mr. Weight supervised the Board of Control and Legislative Council, gave announcements over the public address system, and published the weekly calendar. —12—

Among the many jobs they did were these: typing transcripts of credits, preparing the daily absentee lists, taking letters dictated by Mrs. Jones, answering the telephone, helping visitors at the school, and typing the students’ permanent records. IN THE CHEMISTRY DEPARTMENT, lab assistants were selected. They attended a class early each morning and then during the regular class called roll, collected assignments, and helped with the various experiments conducted.

They spent many hours laboriously cleaning the corridors, windows, and classrooms. P.H.S. BUS DRIVERS had the responsibility of transporting the students safely to and from school.
