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

Among the many agricultural projects that amuse the Future enthusiasm. By graciously toiling away in an open field to Farmers is the opportunity to perform public services with rake up weeds and other brush, the boys beautify the school. Jrocfd and J-aticfue edlmateur BIOLOGY boys dissected frogs, opened worms, and studied plant cells under the microscope while the timid girls drew what they saw for their journals. NO ONE will forget the day in CHEMISTRY when venturesome scientists poured sulfuric acid down the drain; it leaked through the floor to the biology room below, with disastrous consequences. PHYSICS students, attempting to measure the number of cycles in a radiation wave-length, observed the reflection of light off a convex lens to a concave lens. AG and LANDSCAPING classes labored in the two-acre garden west of the school, visited various farms in Utah County, and even appeared on Channel 7 television. A group of students from the zoology class, searching for microscopic specimens of protozoa and amoeba in the biology pond, reminisce about the time when Mr. Wilson slipped and fell into the slimy water. John Rick's attention is distracted from class by the dead creature in the glass jar. “Smile! You're on Candid Camera. Two of the Ag boys turn their heads to face the photographer hile Mr. Cornaby tries in vain to get their attention. The interruption did not last long. 19
