The Science Fair winners are Roger Billings, Gary Hatch, first place; Larry Loveridge, second place; Phil Harrison, and Robert Poulsen. Both Larry and Gary will go to St. Louis to display their projects. SCIENCE FAIR WINNERS brought home a bagful of Superior and Excellent ratings for their “meritorious exhibits” in many fields. Two seniors, Gary Hatch and Larry Loveridge, went to the National Fair in Saint Louis after winning high honors here. A WHITE ENAMEL rectangle with an oblong chunk gone from the upper right corner was worn as a pin by those few Provo High seniors who had been chosen to represent their school as Boys’ and Girls’ Staters. They learned about all phases of democratic government at State. BEING AT HOME ALL DAY need not always be boring because being a success as a housewife takes talent, as Earlene Buckner, Homemaker of Tomorrow, found. A SCHOOL SEAL designed by DyAnn Davis won the School Seal contest and was adopted as the official seal of Provo High. OTHER HONORS WERE gained by Gwen Killpack (winner of Wool Growers’ award), Margaret Mecham (“I Speak For Democracy” winner), and Kathy Johnston (the girl in the Bulldog suit—Vic, the mascot)—as Provo High stood out conspicuously again.
