All Appreciate This Year of High School Each student looks forward to the time when he can irraduate. SOME PEOPLE WONDER exactly what kind of people Provo High students are after seeing silent pantomimes in the halls, hearing the crowded noise of an assembly, and watching the hordes of high school students invade the streets after school is out for the day. The answer is simple: Provo High School students are much like other high school students. They like to do the same things as the students of other schools —for example, they like to cluster around heat vents on cold and chilly mornings, to congregate in small groups in the halls (much to the dismay of passers-by), to avoid doing homework and getting to class until the last possible moment, to slouch and relax in classes, to argue with teachers and parents, to attend assemblies for which classes were shortened or eliminated, to buy clothes that are just a slight bit different from their friends’ clothes, to join with others in clubs and in many diverse activities, to drink large Cokes, to eat on the front lawn, to show off to a certain extent by gunning their cars in the parking lot, to watch 5c movies at noon, to talk in and out of classes, to yell themselves hoarse at football and basketball games, to chase the opposite sex and eventually catch them (or get caught), and mainly to glory in the joy of being alive. These students are, in a word, human. Admittedly, some (in fact many) go to traffic court. But in the great cross-section, all these students are worth worrying about, and because of that, they are worthy to carry on the old traditions of their school . . . and they are able to set new precedents for others to aspire to. They are not the “beat” or the “lost” generation many over-critical writers describe. They are hardworking, freedom-loving, and hopeful for the future, because it is exclusively theirs. THE PROVOST has tried to capture the spirit of the people of Provo High with its use of the theme TIMEPIECE. Instead of using dead reckoning, the Provost has used live reckoning to record people and the way they view life. But like most timepieces, this one is no good unless it is used. The purpose of this book is greater than recording an academic year; the purpose can be achieved only if the Provo High student reading the book can place himself in the picture and feel himself a part of this school and time. If this happens when he is sixteen or ninety years old, then the efforts of production will have been worthwhile. — 7 —

 - “Small World” was the theme of the Senior Assembly and Dance. The setting: France. The effect: total beauty and romanticism. MENU
