Her parents were James Brigham Wilson and Margaret Powell She died on April 1, 1963 in Provo, Utah. Interment, Provo City Cemetery. ~ ~ ~ ~ Isabel (Isabella)(Isabelle) Ethel Wilson married Wayne Brockbank Hales, BYU Physics and Mathematics teacher, 1914 to the 1970s. Wayne B. Hales was a beloved teacher and well-respected scientist. But the journey wasn't easy. At a young age, following the death of his mother, he worked with his father in the Tintic Mines near Eureka, Utah, and saved his money to someday attend BYU. Brightening his early life were his love for and success in athletics and his participation in Utah's first Boy Scout troop, interests that would last throughout his life. At BYU he was a four-year letterman in track and basketball and his record in cross-country remained unbroken for 10 years. He served as the Scoutmaster of the first troop in Provo and stayed close to Scouting throughout his life, receiving the Silver Beaver in 1942. At BYU Hales quickly distinguished himself as a student and showed an inclination toward the sciences, especially physics. He also participated in the debating and science clubs and was elected president of his sophomore and senior classes. Upon graduation, Hales took a position at Ricks College in Rexburg, Idaho, where he taught physics and mathematics for five years. In 1920 he took on administrative responsibilities as a counselor in the school presidency. His dedication, academic abilities, and commitment to the gospel caught the eye of Church Commissioner of Education Adam S. Bennion, and at age 27 Hales was appointed President of Snow College in Ephraim, Utah. Despite heavy responsibilities Hales was always looking to broaden and deepen his education. Between 1918 and 1926 he studied at different times at the University of Chicago, the University of Utah, and the California Institute of Technology. His studies earned him master's and PhD degrees in physics and provided him the tutelage of two Nobel Prize winners--Albert A. Michelson and Robert A. Millikan. After finishing his PhD, Hales decided he would not seek further administrative positions because he did not like the "lonesome feeling". In 1930 he was offered a position teaching physics at BYU, where he would inspire students for some 42 years. In 1933 he provided help to BYH students in producing their Wildcat yearbook. At first he taught all of the physics classes. He would eventually take on classes such as meteorology, astronomy, photography, and mechanics, as well as mathematics at all levels. His fervent teaching style and dedication to students attracted many to his classes, and his pioneering efforts in photography led to his being dubbed the "Father of Photography at BYU." Over the years, Hales served as chairman of the Physics Department and the first dean of the General College. His leadership also extended into the ecclesiastical structure of BYU; he was bishop of two campus wards and president of two student stakes. ~ ~ ~ ~ Wayne Brockbank Hales was born on December 20, 1893 in Spanish Fork, Utah. He died on May 3, 1980. Interment, Provo, Utah. His parents: Jonathan Hyrum Hales and Martha Ann Brockbank. He first married Isabel (Isabella) Ethel Wilson on September 20, 1916 in Salt Lake City. He second married Vivian Smart Parkinson [BYH Class of 1912] on July 2, 1965 in Salt Lake City, Utah [See also Lester Rogers Taylor, BYH Class of 1912]. ~ ~ ~ ~ Children of Wayne Brockbank Hales and Isabel Wilson Hales: Dr. J.

Jay Lee Wilson, who was born May 12, 1940 in Leland, Utah. His parents are George Lee Wilson and Ellen A. Thomas Wilson. Jay Lee Wilson died on March 8, 2004. ~ ~ ~ ~ OBITUARY FOR JAY LEE WILSON: Jay Lee Wilson, age 63, peacefully returned to his Heavenly Father on Monday, March 8, 2004. His beautiful wife, Barbara, and their family were by his side. Jay was born May 12, 1940 in Leland, Utah to George Lee and Ellen Wilson. Jay loved his country. He was proud to represent it by serving as a member of the U.S. Army for six years. On February 3, 1962, he married his sweetheart, Barbara Lynn Balog. Their marriage was solemnized June 13, 1970 in the Manti LDS Temple. They are blessed with six children. He was a devoted husband and father. Jay was an active member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and served faithfully in numerous callings. Jay and his wife especially enjoyed their time as temple workers. Jay was employed by the Union Pacific Railroad as a car man for 32 years before he retired in 1998. He was recently honored for 20 years of dedicated service as a Salem City Volunteer Fireman. He was known as the "Grandpa Fireman". Jay and his wife Barbara were original members of the Salem Ambulance Association. They joined as first responders in February 1987 and in 1987 they both received their EMT Basic. In 1991 Jay received his EMT Intermediate. He was an EMT instructor and also a CPR instructor serving from 1987 to the present time. Jay was honored as EMT of the Year in 2002. He has held leadership positions including Lieutenant and Training Officer for the Association. In 1993, Jay became certified in Defib. During the last seventeen years he was a responsible and dedicated member of the Salem Medical Association. Jay's love was serving others. Jay will be remembered for his walks through the town. The kids in the neighborhood had him timed so they could be ready and waiting to wave "Hi", knowing they would get a big grandpa smile and a wave back. He was an avid fan of the BYU Cougars, and loved camping and four-wheeling in the mountains with his family. He never missed the opportunity for a good water fight, most of the time being the instigator, of course. Jay had such a big heart and found enjoyment and fulfillment in serving others selflessly without a single thought of being recognized for it. Jay is survived by his wife, Barbara, of 42 years; his children: Kim (Kevin) Lloyd, Springville; Mindy (Paul) Lemon, Salem; Amie (Melvin) Sweatfield, Heber; Marcy (Zane) Baker, Salem; Jeff (Joelle) Wilson, Salem; Jason (Lacy) Wilson, Santaquin; 15 grandchildren and five great-grandchildren; two brothers and one sister: Blaine Wilson of Payson; Leon Lewis of Hinckley; and Kathryn Manis of Las Vegas. He was preceded in death by his parents; one sister, Irene Christensen; and his two grandsons, Tyler Wilson and Kaydon Wilson. Funeral services were held Friday, March 12, 2004 in the Salem 4th Ward Chapel, 25 West Apple Blossom Way. Interment, Salem City Cemetery. [Deseret News, Wednesday, March 10, 2004.]

The related Awards Program is also attached. The class lists are not entirely complete. The name of a Kathryn Koester who married in the senior year and may have graduated elsewhere or later comes to mind. It is interesting to note the comparison of composition of the class in the latter case. It was in the 1956 - 57 period that the then new Provo High School opened and created a different dynamic in the town for attending Provo High or BY High. While we picked up some new senior high classmates, our senior graduating class was smaller than many previous. It was particularly hard for the athletic teams to compete against the now larger county schools. "Massacre" is not a superlative word. It led to some long veiled, but festering animosities. I also include a copy of the Seminary graduation program for the 1958 year. Seminary only needed three years classwork for graduation so with many Class of 1959 starting Seminary in the ninth coming to eleventh grade, the ranks were swelled. The BYU Laboratory schools were great institutions. It is too bad to have focused them on young people instead of on older people who could have been more appreciative in the time. But such is the nature of life. When we are young, lacking wisdom and having the greatest needs, we have the fewest resources. As we age, we have more resources, but fewer needs. The young are foolish, but have great confidence, the old are wise and filled with knowledge, but no one asks for counsel. Thank you for your commitment and effort in this historic preservation effort. Lew Wilson PS. I have yearbooks from 1953 - 1958 for reference if you need something copied from those years.

(See Ruth Wilson Young photo on Class of 1949 reunion page for 2003.) ~ ~ ~ ~ "During my college years of 1941-45, after teaching for two years in Nebo School District, I returned to BYH and BYU as a faculty member. A highlight at BY High was the slumber party for the high school girls. It was on the third floor of the Arts Building. Women faculty members chaperoned. Anna B. Hart, the lady-like English teacher, never had a hair out of place not matter how lively the party got. The girls, in their loudest sleepwear, spent a sleepless night eating and visiting. Some of the boys attempted to raid the slumber party by putting an extension ladder up to a window. Much to their surprise the face that greeted them at the top was that of the strict history teacher, Julia Caine. The boys rode a hasty retreat. Dallin Oaks, who was senior class president that year, was probably not one of the raiders. He worked evenings as a disk jockey at a local radio station." By Ruth Wilson Young, Provo [Provo Daily Herald Web Special, September 07, 2001] ~ ~ ~ ~ HER OBITUARY: Ruth Wilson Young was born April 15, 1923 in Payson, Utah, to Alfred Raymond Wilson and Emma Jane Bingham Wilson. She died on July 5, 2008 in Provo, Utah. Ruth was the youngest of seven children and the last surviving member of her childhood family. She attended schools in Payson and received a bachelor's degree from Brigham Young University. She later earned a master's degree at Colorado State University and a doctorate at BYU. She taught in Nebo School District, and at BYH and Brigham Young University. Ruth married Daren Curtis Young in the Salt Lake Temple on August 24, 1949. Daren attended Weber College in Ogden in 1941. He graduated from BYU with a BS degree in Elementary Education in 1951. They made their first home in Provo, spent two years in Roosevelt, and thirty-eight years in Spanish Fork, returning to Provo in 1989. As a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, Ruth held church positions from the time she was fifteen until the present. She enjoyed teaching children and youth. She served on stake boards for Sunday School, Primary, Young Women and Relief Society. She was also in several Relief Society presidencies and served as a volunteer with adoptions for LDS Family Services. She worked in several family history centers and was a regular temple patron. Always active in community groups, Ruth was president of several organizations - a federated club, an AAUW branch, the Spanish Fork PTA Council, and Daughters of Utah Pioneers on camp and county levels - and served as a voting district chairman, registration agent and election judge.

Shirley and John Anderson

Class of 1952 ~ Honorary. Shirley Wilson. ~ ~ ~ ~ HER OBITUARY: Shirley Anne Wilson Anderson, 5/25/1934 - 9/14/2020. A fiery, loving wife, mother, and grandmother passed away of old age on Monday, September 14th at her home at Beacon Crest Senior Living Center, at the age of 86. Shirley Anne Wilson Anderson was born May 25, 1934 in Provo, Utah, to Billie Woodrow Wilson and Ethel Lucille Murdock Wilson. Twelve years later a baby brother was born, William Douglas (Jeanette Thompson) Wilson. The two children spent most of their childhood in Provo. Frequent visitors at the Wilson home were the Murdock aunts and uncles from among her mother's twelve siblings, who all entertained and played musical instruments. She was adored by a widowed grandfather, William Mercer Wilson (whom she called "Poppy".) The Wilson aunts and uncles were also there often. Shirley attended Brigham Young Junior High School, becoming an honorary member of the BYH Class of 1952. Shirley Anne was a redheaded, braided star with a gorgeous smile, she had a keen sense of humor that she kept to the very end. She and her husband John Anderson, had the kindest, funniest, longest running banter of words between them, which endeared them to their children, as well as so many close and wonderful friends. Their children aspire to similar happy, wonderful marriages! She met her future husband, John, at a Church social. He loved her the minute he saw the beautiful girl at the piano, smiling his way and playing chop-sticks. At the time she was a BYU Cougarette and he was a tall dark handsome BYU football player. (She was President and choreographed many of their marches.) The magic began at this social, and their great love story proceeded to unfold. They were married in the Salt Lake Temple on September 4th, 1953. They had three children before he graduated from law school. In those early days they lived in Stadium Village Apartments, just off the U of U campus. Final tally they had six children: Julie (Craig White) - Beaver, UT; Denece (John Stillings) - South Jordan, UT; Karilee (Kevin Olsen) - Bluffdale, UT; Laurie (Terry Gale) - Saratoga Springs, UT; John Douglas (Julie Rodeman) Anderson - Aurora, UT; Amy Plott - Eagle Mountain, UT; and 32 grandchildren; 101 great-grandchildren, plus spouses. They raised their family in Sandy, Utah. In the earlier years Shirley sewed most of the clothing her daughters wore. She made doll clothes, baby clothes, school dresses, costumes . . . and later prom dresses and bridal dresses. She gave perms, put in pin-curls and did hairdos for five girls. She did scouting, sports and a mission with one boy. She liked fast, fancy cars. She rode Doug's motorcycle around the house before tipping it over. She spoke her mind and excelled in articulation and assertiveness. Shirley sang in quartets, choirs, and with her family. She gathered her children around and played guitar while they sang. She encouraged them to likewise perform with piano, quartets, high school marching groups, cheerleading, plays, ballet and every other kind of lesson to be had. She believed in recreation and entertainment. On Monday nights she made an outstanding dessert for her family and entertained them as though they were her best friends. And they still ARE. She oil painted, toll painted, and decorated. She made pottery. She cooked and entertained friends and loved people. She had faith and believed you could do absolutely ANYTHING you truly wanted to do. She believed in Santa and said that if you ever stopped believing, he would stop coming, which turned out to be true. Mom did not preach, but she absolutely believed in Jesus Christ and followed his teachings. She did everything in her power to support the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. She taught the children and youth. She presided, she organized and directed. She was a strong leader. Shirley listened to her children. She always seemed to know how to support her family and what to say in each situation. She was a problem solver. Her first objective was to raise happy, balanced, successful people who would contribute to family and society. She was a tough disciplinarian. Shirley supported John in his attorney work and especially when he was a Bishop, and a Stake President. At that time she single-handedly kept the family on course. Only a woman of super strength could have managed a large family, entertained church leaders, and given her children what they needed. Shirley Anderson sold real-estate when her children got older. Sometimes she appreciated the real-estate so well that she moved in! John supported her in whatever she wanted to do because he thought she had amazing judgement. They discussed a lot before making decisions together. She certainly did have great judgement! She taught us to put our spouses and our families first. She taught us to have empathy, understanding and volunteerism for those less fortunate and fight for the things we believed in. Her children developed a fierce desire to help and foster others because of her teachings. Our mom taught us to get together and have fun with our siblings. She said they were our "eternal friends". She was hostess for "millions" of parties, picnics, dances on the patio, camps of every kind, and programs. She taught us to bring out the wonderful food, the music, display our talents, plan get-togethers, teach our kids what was truly important, "put away jealousies, envyings and strifes," to support each other and reunions so we could stay close to one another as parents, siblings and cousins. Mom adjusted to situations that weren't easy. She overcame relative poverty, kids' bad decisions, cancer, broken bones, old age, care centers, and even death. She was not a complainer! She was a template of peace, possibilities, and set a precedence on how to live an extraordinary life and "endure to the end." We are so proud of you, our wife, mother, sister, friend and exemplar! Funeral services for Shirley Anderson will be held on Saturday, September 19th at 1:00 PM at the Londonderry Chapel located at 11164 S. Londonderry Drive, Sandy, with a viewing one hour prior to services. Interment to follow at Larkin Sunset Gardens, 1950 E. Dimple Dell Rd., Sandy.

He had no desire to be a movie star . . . no aspirations to act, in fact. While still in high school he landed a job at Robert Redford's Sundance Resort and was happy to work as a ranch hand and live the life of a ski bum for the next 10 years. But in 1983, Paramount Pictures came to Utah County to film a little musical called "Footloose", which would become an unexpected box-office hit the next year. Wimmer saw the film as an opportunity to earn a few extra bucks and finagled his way into working with the crew. One day on the "Footloose" set, he was captured on film while a camera operator was adjusting a lens. That led to his being asked to take a small acting role, which grew as production continued. And though most of his footage wound up on the cutting-room floor, Wimmer had been bitten by the show-biz bug. An amateur artist, Wimmer saw acting as another way to exercise his creative juices and decided to throw caution to the wind and pursue an acting career. The Utah native, a veteran of the critically acclaimed TV series "China Beach" had top billing in a major studio film that opened in 900 theaters around the country Friday, September 20, 1991: "Late for Dinner." Not bad for a 31-year-old guy who's only been in show business for seven years. Oh, yes, and he now owns a home near Sundance - and still skis a lot. "I've been very, very lucky," Wimmer says modestly. "I mean, in school (at Orem High School) I was a jock, one of those guys who'd never dream of taking drama. I thought actors were wimps. And now look at me." Wimmer was in Salt Lake City doing interviews to promote "Late for Dinner," a light character drama with science-fiction overtones. The story begins in 1962, with two innocent young men on the run from a shooting. They stumble into a cryogenics experiment, are frozen for 29 years, then accidentally thaw out and head for home. The gimmick is that they don't know what's happened and are unprepared for the fact that they have not aged a bit, while all their relatives are 29 years older. Gene Siskel gave the film a rave review on TV's "Siskel & Ebert". And the film's director, W.D. Richter, has said in interviews that Wimmer brings to mind one of the movies' great stars. "I was looking for a young Jimmy Stewart. I wanted someone who had vulnerability, and Brian has that." Wimmer says he knew he'd be doing "Late for Dinner" as soon as he read the script, though his manager told him someone else was already being tested for the role. In fact, he was so sure, he did something he's never done before - he insisted that his manager arrange a meeting with the casting director anyway. "I walked in and sat down and it just all came together. They actually brought the director up from a screen test - and after we talked some, he knew I was right for it, too. "I just know this (character), I know these kind of people, everyday simple people living simple lives - but strong, moral people." Wimmer says the film will be a hard sell because it has no stars and the science fiction elements are subtle. "It's a marketing nightmare. It's a character-driven story with no real hook, and it might be hard to get people into the theater. "But once they're in the theater, people will love it because it's a film that really makes you feel good." Wimmer says he had no "career plan" as such after his "Footloose" experience in 1983, but he went directly to Southern California and then New York to study acting. While studying he landed some small roles in small movies - "Under the Boardwalk," and "Less Than Zero." In 1988 Wimmer landed his first lead role in the TV movie "What Price Victory?" as an illiterate college football star. In retrospect, he's disappointed in the film but acknowledges that it led to his most important work prior to "Late for Dinner," the role of lifeguard-bartender "Boonie" in the highly praised Vietnam TV series "China Beach." Wimmer played Boonie for 3 1/2 years. During the show's run the character had his leg amputated and went from someone with small-town values to an embittered veteran, allowing for some strong emoting. "It was an incredible experience, and I learned so much. That show was my real acting school." Last year he was in the TV movie "The World's Oldest Living Bridesmaid," starring Donna Mills, and then made "Late for Dinner." Coming full circle to the days when he worked at the Sundance resort, Wimmer says he tried out for a part in Redford's latest film, which Redford is currently directing in Montana. Wimmer didn't get the part but says, gesturing with his finger and thumb, "I came this close." Though he could go back and do another television series immediately, Wimmer is hopeful that "Late for Dinner" will lead to a movie career. If it does, maybe he'll land a role in Redford's next film.
