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.

An important part of ever)- typist’s background is the knowledge of how to change a typewriter ribbon. Kaeiene Laws, James Clegg, and Karen Christensen watch intently as Mr. Tyndall explains this needed process. “STUDENTS. TRY TO type for ten minutes without any errors at a rate of at least fifty words a minute.” At first, such statements sounded impossible to Type I students, but they learned that with much effort such accomplishments weren’t impossible. They first had to learn the positions of each number, symbol, and letter on the typewriter. From then on they worked for accuracy and speed. Type II students worked for greater advancement of their typing skills by continuous practicing and drilling. SHORTHAND I CLASSES learned to use line symbols to represent longhand forms. Each day was a new experience as they tried to make words out of the weird lines they had written during teachers’ dictation. It was necessary for them to know how to type because they transcribed their shorthand notes on the typewriter. They spent many hours doing assignments at home. Shorthand II and Office Practice was a class designed for development of secretarial skills. Each person in the class acted as secretary for one or two teachers. They typed the teachers’ handout sheets, tests, and report cards. Prospective Secretaries Acquire Skills ROLAND TYNDALL — Type I and II. Shorthand I.
