Active Mark Rogers never ceased to put in a last all-important word on the importance of school spirit. Football games and practices, board of control meetings, and the many other duties connected with the office of student body president left him little leisure time. STlJDFNT'BdDY The Executive Board struggled to keep things hopping at Provo High. Brainstorming for new ways of keeping school spirit at a peak, serving as the always-watching “Big Brother,” and trying to negotiate with the higher echelons of school administration in behalf of the student body were only a few of their responsibilties. As Mark Rogers, president, told jokes to kill time when an assembly had run too short, Ann Backus, historian, carefully scribbled notes for posterity. Susan Mecham, vice-president, served as chairman of the assembly committee, which critically reviewed the assemblies before they were presented to the school. The arduous task of taking notes at Board of Control meetings was assigned to Leslie Pope, secretary. Bruce Barrett, business manager, paid bills and handled the financial records. Becky Schofield and Kirk Ford obligingly answer questions and sell activity cards for the Executive Board during the pre-school sales. 18

Consisting of student body officers, class presidents, Cheer-master, Provost editor, Provonian editor, and school spirit chairmen, the Board approved all of the dances, assemblies, parties, pep rallies, and school projects that were held this year and then placed them on the activity calendar. Mr. Last, representative of the administration, cheerily greeted them with a big smile every Tuesday morning at 7:00, and then Susan Meecham took charge, even though the members were still groggy from getting out of bed early. The latest requests for activities were carefully reviewed, approved by Mr. Last, then voted on. After resolving methods for dealing with any miscellaneous problems that had arisen, they hurriedly rushed to class. The legislative council was the major student governing body.

Their agenda included the Christmas fund raising drives, the Green Bucket Brigade for school cleanup, the Red Cross drive, and special student body activities and school projects.
