Girls Make a Date with Their Fathers A BUSINESSMAN, for relaxation, may choose to take a day off for leisurely reading in a hammock. A haggard housewife would consider an hour’s nap relaxation. But for Provo students, there is no relaxation like something excitingly fun. When a book report is finally in, the last page of a journal is completed, or the final line is memorized, nothing can convince the worn student that a rest will do him good. He is ready for some action to relieve his mind from past tension. There are many “fun things at Provo High to do. School and class parties, daddy dates, and noon movies are just a few of the activities, in which brain-worn students can momentarily forget their studies and enjoy the company of friends. Varsity cheerleaders went to great lengths to excite school spirit for state basketball games. Dressed in the pajamas of the boys whose pictures they hold are Sharlene Thorpe, Dena Kardaras, Myrna Stephenson. “Daddy, hold still!” mumbles Mary Tueller as she tries not to laugh and drop the life-saver during the game at the school Daddy Date. Those who attended found a night with Dad can be very rewarding. The Sophomore party was a big, brewing bottle of fun. Gregory Bills, Lew Swain, and Randy Clark are donating their talents. Everything, including the pot, was bubbling with action throughout the party.

Terry Balser, the butler, peers over the railing as Byron Jackson, the man who returned from the dead, and Margaret Mecham find money. Enjoying each other’s company while they do their menial tasks are the maid, Gloria Salerno, who sings as she sweeps the floor, and the butler, Terry Balsar, who chimes in as he takes a moment from a busy schedule. - Portrays Mystery in Two Different Worlds Lollipops (as ice cream scoops with sticks in them) and rose-colored punch brought out the theme of Girls’ Day at the Tea. Connie Nelson’s comfortable, yet smart and stylish red coat is an asset to any young girl’s Spring wardrobe. — 19 —

Linda Burge Belle ..................... Jody Mikkelson Bartender.......................... Mike Slack Salesman ................... Jim Brande EUGENE O’NEILL’S argumentative mother was Aunt Lilly, while a perfect mother was Essie in the play “Ah Wilderness!” “THE CLOD,” written by Lewis Beach, took place during the Civil War and demonstrated how some selfish people had no loyalty for their country. It won for Provo in one-act competition. The Miller family roars with delight at the inebriated Uncle Sid as he starts chanting, Oh when the Saints—boom, boom—go marching in—boom, boom . . .” Ah Wilderness! was the first school play. Ah! Wilderness Enraptures Audiences In a favorite scene from “Ah Wilderness!” Richard Miller drawls, “I’m not (hie) drunk!” to Belle and her friend. The bartender sees that Richard is Nat Miller’s son at the close of this odd scene. Mary Trask (Judy Heal) and Thad (Dalian Pack) think only of sleep as she prepares breakfast for two Southern soldiers (Kent Zumbrennen and David Paxman); who cares if the wounded Northerner (Sterling Van W’agenen) escapes from them? — 21 —
