CURRICULUM AND STAFF are necessary to each other, as Mrs. Jones, Susan Jacobsen, and Cheryl Pope know in the office. CLASSES are usually more fun when not attended; girl-watching, flirting, listening, and pickle-eating make time pass quickly. — 3 —

WHAT WOULD a school be without its activities? So many things are popping all year long it is difficult to number them all. In all areas, from dances to sports, everyone was enthusiastic and willing to participate. Each area had its special time for all concerned. In speech and drama, three plays were presented for the students. The Band and Orchestra, with their own soloists, did well at the Region contests. Various class parties gave a little fun and relaxation from the boredom of life. The biggest dance of the year, of course, was the Junior Prom. During the day, not many juniors were in class because of the preparation for the assembly and the dance. Although sports were exciting, Provo didn’t take state, but all were pushing. Later on, honors were given; the highlight was the Sterling Scholar Awards. A TIMEPIECE is run by many individual parts. Some are designed to move wheels, others to swing pendulums, and still others to turn hands. All work together to form one functional and serviceable machine. So it is with Provo High. It also is made of many moving and essential parts. Some parts build a better appreciation of our past, some give aid in speaking and writing, others help build strong and active bodies, still others develop talents in music. The curriculum of Provo High offers many opportunities. Added to the required English, P. E., math, science, and social studies, are music, homemaking, business, and language classes. These individual parts can be compared to the small parts of a timepiece; each is essential to the total mechanism. The departments work collectively to form a living and functional high school. AS HE walked down the long corridors of Provo High for his first time, each new sophomore felt that strangeness and loneliness greeted him from the empty chairs in front of the office and the deserted classrooms. As the year progressed, each strange thing became familiar, and loneliness was replaced by friendly “hellos.” EACH JUNIOR felt that his class was special. His “superiority” to the younger class, his right as an heir to the upper class, and his part in making his class a success added to each junior’s self-confidence, ego, and feeling of security. MEASURING for senior rings, measuring for caps and gowns, and measuring the amount of days left to fulfill graduation requirements were an integral part of a senior’s exciting and worrisome year.

Provost Keeps Time DURING HIS LIFETIME a man dreams of many things: when he is young, he thinks of a time when he will be older; when he reaches the wished-for age, he dreams he were young once more. That is the way with man. All during his life he measures time: his greatest single question in life is “How Long?” To find an answer, he has created many devices known as timepieces. The staff of the Provost has chosen TIMEPIECE as the theme of this edition. The word doesn’t stand well alone, but applied to Provo High School, it can mean much. It can mean this book is simply a device for measuring a school year, or it can mean that the Provost records a piece of time, the 1964 to 1965 school year. The staff, the classes, the campus life—each in its own way contributes a part to the spirit that is our school, a spirit any timepiece would be proud to measure. PROVO HIGH SCHOOL has often been described as a gigantic red “E” or a huge red skeleton key. Its narrow halls, its crowded classrooms, its illogical stairs leading to nowhere—all have been used to show the spirit that is Provo High. But a building has no spirit unless the people in it have l’esprit de corps. To think about a gigantic red “E” with a spirit of its own is as foolish as to be sentimental about a hospital, a garage, or a locomotive roundhouse. Always, it is the people with spirit that matter. THIS GENERATION will, after leaving Provo High School, go out into the world as their parents and grandparents before them did. They will go into a different world ... a much smaller one, dwarfed by the realization of outer space and by the constant threat of death by bombs that make the Hiroshima bomb seem petty. They will solve the ancient problems of enforcing peace, or else the problem will neatly solve them. They may be third to see what really happens when great weapons are used improperly. But atomic death is not the only possible future; other futures hold greater glory for the human race than it has ever experienced before. Time will tell. This year is but a fraction of a micro-second in the history of man; it is a tiny but vital piece of time. The problems of today will seem trival in a few years, but it will be this year’s graduates that help to solve them. In meeting the big challenge of the future, they will make a better world; failure will produce less than no world at all. The torch of hope has already been passed to them. as Provo High School The traditional registration marks the beginning of school. — 4 —
