THE DISTRICT ADMINISTRATION affected the lives of all the students who attended Provo High School. For instance, the District gave Miss Nelson programmed materials on Macbeth. The materials, which included explanations of various quotations, were designed to help students teach Shakespeare's play to themselves. At the same time. Miss Nelson taught other students by the usual method. At the end of three years, the results of this experiment will be studied to determine whether changes should be made in the teaching methods at Provo High. AT THE BEGINNING of the school year, the Provo City School District sent a proposed plan for an educational program back to Washington, D.C., so that the federal government could approve it. The government granted the district $110,000 under the ESEA (Elementary-Secondary Education Act). The entire state of Utah was granted a sum of $500,000; Provo City School District received more than one-fifth of the total amount of the grant. Mr. Floyd.

Girls' Dance Students C'JBrincf typewriters THE ACCENTS of chattering typewriters and scratching pens issued from the top floor of A Wing as business students entered the unreal world of machines. SHORTHAND I and II students were positive they deserved a foreign language credit. They proudly regarded their progress from “see” to “responsibility” as they transcribed collection letters. TYPE I students pacified each other when they hit the hyphen instead of the tabulation key. In TYPE II and III, erasers were much in evidence when eager students plunged into manuscripts with carbons. OFFICE AUTOMATION made its debut at Provo High this year. Students tolerated erasing on a ditto, but they zealously attacked the stubborn dictaphones. Brief forms come in handy when Fairy Bell is forced to scribble faster and faster to get Mr. Tyndall’s dictation at eighty words a minute. “I can't read that outline.” Susan Higley panics as she attempts to transcribe her shorthand notes into something that makes sense. 17
