As the editor of the Provonian, Wayne Stewart frequently consults his business managers Ellen Smith (seated). Diane Wilson, and Jackie Johnson (standing) in an attempt to improve each succeeding edition of the school paper. DEADLINE DAY usually meant pandemonium in the journalism class at Provo High. Reporters were busy gathering information on last-minute news articles, photographers were scurrying for procrastinated pictures, and their editor, Wayne Stewart, was doing his utmost to encourage everyone to finish his assignments and hand them in before the class period ended. But, in spite of all this, the Provonion usually came out every three weeks on schedule. Their advisor Mr. Lindstrom made suggestions, corrections, and assignments that went toward making the Provonian an outstanding newspaper. THE 62-63 VERSION of the Provonian featured many new ideas. Ever notice all the sets of twins around PHS? The Provonian did. It also ran an article on our foreign students and those students who had famous relatives. SOPHOMORES WHOSE interests took a journalistic turn took English J. Their primary responsibility was in publishing the Pro-Log. This student directory was in alphabetical order and in sections according to sex and grade. Careful check was made through the office to see that no one was left out and that the names were spelled correctly. After it was proofread it was sent to the press. All Provo High students referred to their Pro-Logs a great deal and agreed that they were very helpful. The students felt they were well worth the price of fifty cents. Publication was under the direction of Mr. Lindstrom and the co-editors were Kathy Glover and Janet Powell. Journalists Publish Unusual “Scoops Becky Barlow jots down an imaginary scoop as fellow reporters Linda Nlchadden, Linda Payne, Peggy Pope, David Mecham make comment.

DEADLINES TO MEET, pictures to crop, copy to write, and layouts to make were some of the problems confronted by Provo High’s yearbook staff. As Mr. Rigby explained some of the many complex yearbook processes, the staff was frequently reminded never to bleed into the gutter and that mug shots were strictly taboo. “WHERE ARE THE keys to the darkroom?” “Have you got the keys to the cupboard?” There was an endless search for keys to everything since the yearbook was kept under lock and key. DURING FOURTH period the staff worked hard to produce a book which consisted of excellent-quality pictures; active, sparkling copy; and artistic, pleasing layout design. Sometimes utter chaos and confusion seemed to prevail in the class. Everything, it appeared, but yearbook production, was going on. Actually, there were many details and odd jobs that went into the making of the completed yearbook. The Yearbook Art class tried to maintain the high standard set by previous Provosts. They had mixed emotions of pride and relief as the schooldays drewf to a close, and the completed record of the school year was distributed among the students. Arthur Phevsey and Lonnie Peterson, sports editors, discuss a layout with Judi Jones and Kathy Thoreson, who handle clubs and activities, respectively. —27—
