They worked in the main office for one period each day. 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. EIGHT WOMEN DEDICATED to the preparation of well-balanced, inviting meals composed the cooking staff. This year a new schedule was instigated, whereby there were two lunch periods. Consequently, the lunch ladies had to keep the food hot for the second group. CON SC I ENT 101 IS Cl STODIANS at Provo High made the students proud of their complete campus. 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. They could be counted on even when the weather was stormy, which was probably when the students appreciated them most. —14—

Departments Emit Educational Spectrum MR. BENCH explains a simple test for a halide to students Suzanne Reed, Dec Nelson, and Mike McGarry. 'I HE OSTENSIBLE purpose for running a high school is to give its pupils a sound secondary education, and the teachers of PHS made that purpose genuine. In some forty-one classrooms, the lunch room, two gyms, and the library, forty-nine teachers taught sixty-three subjects in eleven subject areas—not at once, of course. Some classes were easy; others were hard. The former were crowded; the latter weren’t. Different teaching devices—blackboards, maps, opaque projectors, log tables, films, teachers, and Physics Bowls—were used, but the result was the same. Students learned. CLASSES BEGAN at eight o’clock in the morning and continued until four in the afternoon, but the student day began with the opening of his secret cache, his locker. Laden with the paraphernalia of education, he would then skitter down the tiled halls, skip up the terazzo steps, and, if he was lucky, land in his first class in time for the second siren. Teachers, denied the thrill of secret lockers and hall-racing, formed a Secret Society with their own Sanctum Sanctorum, the faculty room. In the faculty room, a student’s no-man’s-land they pooled their wits against the same, aired their gripes about the penny-pinching legislature, and formulated the great Lose-the-Pounds contest. Each thick student skull presented a monumental challenge to the S.S. of the S.S.—an educational challenge that was met by radiating a wide spectrum, carefully intensified in the areas to which skulls were partly transparent. -16-
