Finds Thirteen Hundred Elements in a Star WHEN A NARROW beam of light passes through a glass prism or a diffraction grating, it is separated into thousands of thin, parallel bands of color—the spectrum. By studying the spectrum of a star, an astronomer can tell exactly what elements are present; by studying shifts of position of the colored lines, he can tell its velocity and speed of rotation. PROVO HIGH SCHOOL is like a star. Its core is its administration and teachers, who emit the greater share of educational light. Some of this light is absorbed by students, who carry it for a while and then rc-emit it with higher energy, lighting all their surroundings. Each element in the star, whether an administrator, teacher, student, bus driver, janitor, or cook, contributes some color to THE SPECTRUM OF PHS — a color that can be detected. THE PROVOST is the spectroscope which analyzes THE SPECTRUM OF PHS. Where the accomplishments of its students overlap, one finds large, brilliant bands. Where they are lacking, one finds voids. It is true that there are certain weaknesses in this instrument; for example, it has a strong tendency to overexpose the bright colors and to slight the greys, but all in all. it captures THE SPECTRUM OF PHS — the spectrum of a star. Autographing yearbooks at the end of May was a sure sign that school was nearly out. This sign brought mixed emotions to most Provo High students. —3—
