Elbert and Margaret Eastmond

Faculty & Staff. Elbert H. Eastmond, Art teacher, 1902-1936 -- until his death. ~ ~ ~ ~ Elbert Hindley Eastmond was born on June 1, 1876, the year Brigham Young Academy began, in American Fork, Utah. His parents were Thomas Jefferson Eastmond and Esther Jane Hindley. He married Margaret Craig Hull on April 2, 1913 in Salt Lake City, Utah. He died on August 17, 1936 in Provo, Utah. Interment, Provo City Cemetery. ~ ~ ~ ~ They had at least two children: Thomas Hull Eastmond, born March 12, 1914 in Provo, Utah [BYH Class of 1931]; and Elbert John (Jack) Eastmond, Sr., born July 6, 1915 in San Francisco, CA [BYH Class of 1933]. ~ ~ ~ ~ MAY DAY: May Day celebrations were popular in early Utah. A large percentage of the people living here were born in foreign countries. According to the Utah Atlas, Utah's foreign-born inhabitants in 1870 made up over half of the adult population. In 1880, almost 60 percent of the people in the territory over 20 years of age and nearly 70 percent of those over 30 were born outside of the United States. Most of Utah's foreign-born people came from Scandinavia and England where May Day festivities were popular. Consequently, in Utah, the tradition of erecting a Maypole and braiding it with ribbon remained strong for many years. In Utah Valley, braiding the Maypole probably reached the pinnacle of its popularity in the 1920s. May Day festivities were so prevalent during that era that in 1921, BYH/BYU professor Elbert H. Eastmond wrote a May Day pageant called "A Tribute of Gladness." A full-page article in the Deseret News provided a list of characters, script, and detailed instructions on the music, costumes and sets for this May Day extravaganza. Eastmond's pageant portrayed the arrival of spring with dancing flowers and waving trees. Then the May Day procession arrived with the Jacks of the Green carrying the Maypole, which they soon set up. At this point, the Lord of May escorted the Lady of May to a throne where she was crowned Queen of the May, and the newly crowned monarch watched dancers plait the Maypole. After the dance came to a conclusion, children carrying flower crowns appeared. They placed these crowns upon the heads of the grandmothers and grandfathers in the audience and escorted the old people to seats of honor in specially decorated chairs. To conclude the pageant, the audience joined the cast in singing "Count Your Many Blessings," and a guest offered the benediction. May dances performed on schoolyards were not usually as elaborate as this pageant, although in the 1920s, Provo's elementary schools united to stage several fairly credible productions. On the morning of May 23, 1921, the same year that professor Eastmond wrote his pageant, students from Provo's five elementary schools converged upon downtown Provo and staged an intricate May dance. (Notice that these dances were not always performed on May 1.) For the occasion, each school selected a Queen of May and two attendants. The queens in 1921 were Marie Olson, Parker School; Mamie Bell, Central; Norma Sutton, Maeser; Vilet Cox, Timpanogos; and Daisy Fail, Franklin. These queens received flower crowns on the day of the performance and witnessed the dances from a seat of honor.

Eastmond, Jr.) examines the collection and use of faculty load information at Brigham Young University over the last 18 years. Forms, charts, and tables are included. ~ ~ ~ ~ Recipient of BYH President's Appreciation Award in April 1985. ~ ~ ~ ~ Though I was born in Provo, I was raised in Berkeley and El Cerrito, California. My parents, E. John (Jack) and Helen Swenson Eastmond, were living in Berkeley where my father was working for his PhD in Physics. I was born in May 1938 while they were visiting my mother's parents in Provo. Before school began again in the fall, my father came back and picked us both up and drove us to our home in Berkeley in our Model “T” Ford we named "Skippy". My earliest memories include the many picnic lunches with Dad on the Berkeley campus, and riding the ferry across the Bay to San Francisco and the Golden Gate Park to visit the zoo, the seals at the beach, and riding over the new Golden Gate Bridge. Christmas of 1950 found our family moving to Provo, where my father had accepted a professorship at BYU. I still vividly remember sledding from our BYU owned house, where the Marriott Center now stands, down the hill with two feet of fresh snow into the field where the Helaman Halls now stand. Less than two weeks later, I started attending BY High in the middle of my seventh grade. My experiences with friends and teachers during the next six years are among my cherished memories. During my senior year at BY High, I learned why I had never enjoyed playing tennis, golf, baseball, or even ping pong: I had an eye condition known as Retinitis Pigmentosa. Besides not being able to see well at night, I was developing tunnel vision. I had aspired to become an architect, and had worked for a local architect all three years in high school. In fact, I had witnessed the drawing up of the new Provo High School as well as the David O. McKay, Joseph F. Smith, and Ernest L. Wilkinson buildings on the BYU campus. I took the news pretty hard, especially the fact that I could soon be totally blind. After taking two years of classes at BYU, my bishop told me that the Lord wanted me to serve an LDS mission. After much prayer, I accepted a call to the British Mission, and witnessed many wonderful events take place immediately after the dedication of the London Temple including the great expansion of the church during the next two years from a single mission to four. Upon returning home and receiving a blessing telling me to be patient, that my future vocation was soon to be known, I decided to continue taking classes in Mathematics and Accounting, and for the first time, in Interior Design, so I could continue working for my former employer as a consultant, however brief it might be. I soon discovered that I had an artistic talent, and later, as promised, during accounting classes, was exposed to a brand new field, programming computers. Since no degrees were yet offered in computers, I obtained a BA in 1963 and an MS in 1965, both at BYU in Art and Design, and I have never regretted it. The day after graduation, I began full time work at BYU programming for the Payroll Department. Six months later, I accepted an offer at BYU to program for Institutional Research and Planning, an office responsible for accessing data from all other university systems on campus for analysis and reports. During the next thirty years, I witnessed both the marvelous growth at BYU, and the fantastic and rapid development of computer technology. Now that I am retired and blind, I still enjoy my own personal computer with its speech output, and more memory than those large computers BYU once had. When I started working for BYU, I met my wife, Bonnie, who was the control clerk in the Data Processing Center on campus. We were married in September 1966, and lived in Orem, Utah, where we raised our five children: Mark, Scott, Steven, Loriann, and Brian. With the exception of Brian, they have all married and we now have fourteen grandchildren. After retiring in 1994, we moved to American Fork and have lived there since. In 2001, Bonnie and I served in the Oregon Eugene Mission. (We were in the MTC during 9-11.) Last July (2005), we had a glorious time on a Church history tour in New York and Ohio, learning many new things about the church. Since then, I have been very busy on the internet, researching and doing temple work for our kindred dead. @2011

Eckles Bradley was born in Provo, Utah. She attended Brigham Young High School, graduating in the Class of 1963. She then attended Brigham Young University. She was always very industrious, starting at a young age working at many different jobs to support her mother, including several management roles. She married her sweetheart, Bruce Dyer Bradley, and together they had three children. During their 46 years of marriage, they welcomed eight grandchildren, all of whom she adored. She taught them, nurtured them, and made every effort to cheer them on at their many performances and games—-rain or shine. Her love for children didn’t end there. She worked for several decades at Dilworth Elementary School as a computer lab teacher and testing administrator, where her kind and gentle teaching manner touched the lives of thousands of students. She lived and breathed service, whether in her volunteer capacities for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, or during the countless hours she spent crocheting many hundreds of hats and blankets for local hospitals and charities. Sharon had a great love for the holidays that she instilled in her entire family. This was often expressed through annual traditions that included pumpkin-carving parties, Easter egg hunts, and a year-long preparation for Christmas that ensured each child and grandchild received not one gift, but many, with every present reflecting Sharon’s thoughtful attention to each individual’s specific personality and interests. In the rare moments she wasn’t serving others, Sharon enjoyed driving her jeep with the top off and music blaring, watching British mysteries with her husband, and stopping to notice every beautiful moment of nature’s grace that she came across—hummingbirds were one of her favorites. She passed away October 11, 2018 after a brief but intense battle with cancer. In accordance with her long-standing instructions, a private graveside service is being held. Source.
