CAMPUS LIFE IN EVERY TIMEPIECE certain periods are set aside for a bit of frivolity. Solemn as a timepiece’s work must be, there are interims of jubilant change between ticks. Energy builds inside the silent and intent worker. This energy is released in various expressive ways. Perhaps the monotony is broken by beautiful chimes or dainty, tinkling music. A Cuckoo sings brightly after long minutes of conscientious work, a Grandfather clock booms majestically as his reward for faithful ticking; even a piercing Alarm has the reward of a timepiece’s faithful accuracy. PROVO HIGH is filled with steady and faithful students. Just like the timepiece, their main occupation is work. But also, like the timepiece, there must be a time for a break in routine. Breaks come in various forms. The thud of spiked shoes hitting a hard leather ball is the sound of relaxation to some. The flowing lines of Shakespeare are melodies of released tension to others. A vigorous march with booming drums, swinging green and white pompoms, the roar of a crowd as a basket is made, the easy swing of a favorite dance band are all sounds of temporary vacation from regular duties. But just like the clock, the duties of importance are not forgotten. They are only momentarily replaced by the earned rewards of faithful labor. Liz Morgan (Margaret Mecham) pulls back in fright as Ret Wyncott (Bill Rowan) approaches, wanting to strangle her to get the money he had killed for, saying, “Give it to me—it’s mine!!” In the Junior Prom assembly, “Two Different Worlds,” she decided not to seek revenge.

Although native tongue and costumes differ, Joye Banks and Sherrie Christensen have the same message: “Provo High is great!” Pep rallies such as this one give spirit to the studentbody before games and encourage the team. Activities Regulate Jfe v Registration began late in August to allow plenty of days for orientation, book-purchasing, class-scheduling, ana locker-filling. Most students agreed it was good to be back. Keeping a tradition at Provo High are those who attend the Homecoming bonfire. With spirits as high as the flames the cheerleaders lead students in yells as they stand around the fire. A fat Payson Lion, Reed Halladay, is carried away by Jim Brande and Jim Malone. The Lion was carried away as Provo won the Homecoming game. — 12 —
