“There is properly no history; only biography.”
~~Ralph Waldo Emerson

We encourage you to:

  • Gather and send in life stories and photographs of people who attended or taught at BYA or BYH ~ with particular focus on their BYA~BYH school days; and

  • Please understand that this collection is still under construction, and that names listed below without links often have extensive biographical information listed in the Directory which is an important part of this website.

    "Biographies are but the clothes and buttons.
    No true biography can ever be written."
