Members of the General Art class hold an envious position on the sunny days when they move outdoors to draw. I’nder the inspiration of their surroundings, they reproduce on paper the beauties of their own Gtah Valley in all its gracefulness and glorious autumn color. John Bordeaux hands his chalk drawing done in Art class to Mike Coleman, who has to stand on a chair to reach an empty space on the bulletin board. COLORED CHALKS, charcoal, paints, oils, and watcrcolors were the “tools of the trade” used in the General Art class. With oftentimes more artistic desires than works, the students learned the fundamentals of art. Balance, symmetry, shading and dimension were not only terms but requirements for a picture well done. Some of their most striking work manifested itself in their modern masterpieces while highlights and nature-study were shown to the best advantage in their outdoor drawings. BEAUTIFL-L POSTERS and striking designs were products turned out by Commercial Art students. They learned that there were more styles of writing then they had ever dreamed of, among which were Gothic, Roman, and Old English. As they advanced through pencils to pens to brushes, they tried their hands at making a wallpaper design. The results of their efforts were put on display in the classroom. SPEECH CLASSES of PHS taught, by Mrs. Nelson and Mr. Jones gave students more self-confidence. In spite of their knocking knees, they gave demonstrations, campaign speeches, pantomimes, and skits before the class. Chung-King commercials, pumpkin carving, and banana split concocting added variety as well as humor to the demonstrations which the class enjoyed. Most students agree that taking speech helped them to better express and present their ideas. MASTERS OF THE “king’s own English.” and highly skilled in searching out, compiling, and presenting facts vital to given issues were the debaters of the Forensics class. Working as teams, they rose with great spirit to any topic of debate. They made a good showing for Provo in the televised debate with Highland. The debate team consistently made a good representation of Provo High at debate meets. -24—
