Faculty & Staff 1962-66 - Spanish Language Teacher. BYU BA Spanish 1961. BYU MA Spanish 1967. U. of Texas PHD 1968. First wife: Ruth Ann Snow, dec. Second wife: Anna _____. Third wife, Lois _____. Perhaps the most infamous prank played in the BYU Eyring Science Center involved a cat and a carillon. As a gift from four senior classes in the mid-1950s, a carillon was mounted on the roof of the ESC. The instrument played through four huge speakers, loud enough to be heard at Utah Lake on a clear day, claims Rex Arnett, then a student carillonneur. According to legend, someone put a cat to sleep with chloroform and placed the animal inside the locked rolltop carillon keyboard. When the cat woke up, it began walking around and playing loud, obnoxious noises in the middle of the night. But Arnett remembers it differently. As the one who discovered the cats (there were two), he insists it was a Sunday afternoon and the cats only made a brief disturbance. The big ruckus, he says, actually happened a few weeks later in March 1956. About 11:30 one Friday evening, the carillon started going berserk, remembers Arnett. As lights came on all over Provo, Arnett and a police officer struggled through several sets of doors with soldered locks. By the time they reached the carillon, the noise had been going on for more than 30 minutes. "The console was open," Arnett explains, "and there was a little Erector Set motor that had been attached to the lower part of the keyboard. It had two little arms that came around on the motor and hit two particular keys--bong bong, bong bong, bong bong." The incident made quite a stir at BYU and in Provo, but the pranksters were never caught, says Arnett, who graduated with a Spanish degree in 1961. ---------- ARNETT NOTE, AUGUST 2005: "I left the year before it was announced that BY High would be closed, on a sabbatical leave to attend the University of Texas at Austin. Before I left I requested a personal interview with three people: the director of the Lab School (BY High), the Dean of the College of Education, and the academic vice-president of BYU, all of whom were in the chain of command involving BY High. I sought assurance from them that BY High would not be closed and that I could continue to teach there after doctoral studies at Texas. All three said the crisis over whether or not BY High would be closed as had been rumored, was over, and that firm decisions had been made assuring its future existence. I took it as a personal blow in December of 1967 when I was called from a class and summoned to the University of Texas College of Education office where I was instructed to get in touch with BYU officials immediately. Dr. Glen Ovard took my returned call and said he was notifying me that the next day the announcement would be officially made public that BY High was to be closed. On paper BYU transferred me to the College of Education with the rank of Instructor, and carried me on leave for two more years hoping that I would return as a faculty member. Other opportunities became available which BYU could not match, so that was the end of my association with BYU. I am retired but currently serve as an adjunct professor of Spanish at Mesa Community College in Mesa Arizona." Rex Arnett @2005 ~ ~ ~ ~ HIS OBITUARY: Marvin Rex Arnett, 78, of Mesa, Arizona, passed away peacefully on Thursday, May 1, 2014 in Gilbert, Arizona. Rex was born on March 29, 1936 in Franklin, Arizona. He is preceded in death by his parents, Marvin and June Arnett, and sister, Ilene Crawford. Rex is survived by his wife Lois, and children, David Arnett, Diane (Bryon) Blackburn, Susan Arnett, Michelle (Aaron) Clark, Jon Arnett, Christopher (Danielle) Arnett, 5 granddaughters, 1 grandson, brothers, Tom (Sheryl) Arnett, Don (Marsha) Arnett, Steven (Bobbi) Arnett, and sisters, Junetta (Harvey) Clifford, Barbara (Jim) Wright, and Mary Ann Price. Rex will be remembered for his remarkable talent as an organist, musician, teacher, and story teller. He enjoyed many years as an educator and school administrator, shaping countless lives teaching music, Spanish, English, and giving private music lessons. He had a wonderful wit and sense of humor, and a deep love for his family, his heritage, music, the Spanish language and hispanic culture, the gospel of Jesus Christ, and telling stories to delight children and adults alike. He was an active and faithful member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints, which membership he cherished, and particularly enjoyed serving in the Mesa LDS Temple in his later years. A visitation in honor of Rex will be held Thursday, May 8, 2014, from 6 - 8 p.m. at the Bunker Garden Chapel, 33 N. Centennial Way, Mesa, Arizona. Funeral services will take place Friday, May 9, at 10 a.m. at the LDS Kimball East Stake Center, 4640 E. Holmes Ave., Mesa, Arizona, with a one-hour visitation preceding.

Early life and college playing career Born in Ogden, Utah, Arnold grew up in Pocatello, Idaho and graduated from Pocatello High School in 1952. He then attended Idaho State University in Pocatello and lettered on the Idaho State Bengals basketball team from 1954 to 1956. Coaching career After graduating from Idaho State in 1956, Arnold became an assistant basketball coach at Payette High School in Payette, Idaho in 1956. In 1958, Arnold became head coach at Brigham Young High School in Provo, Utah and enrolled in graduate school at the Brigham Young University College of Education, from which he earned a master's degree in education in 1960, then coached at BYU's laboratory school until 1962. In 1962, Arnold enrolled in a doctoral program at the University of Oregon and became a graduate assistant on the Oregon Ducks basketball team. In 1963, Arnold returned to Pocatello High to be head coach. The following year, Arnold moved to Vancouver, Washington to be head coach at Clark Junior College, where he would stay for two seasons until 1966. Arnold then returned to the University of Oregon to be assistant coach under Steve Belko, who coached Arnold at Idaho State. Arnold joined John Wooden's staff at UCLA in 1971 to replace Denny Crum, who left to take the head coaching position at Louisville. Arnold was hired to replace BYU coach Glenn Potter in 1975. Prior to coming to BYU, Arnold had been tutored by UCLA legendary coach John Wooden, working as an assistant for the “Wizard of Westwood” during the school’s glory years. Arnold was Wooden's assistant coach for three NCAA championships. Arnold led the Cougars to a 137-94 (.593) record, won three Western Athletic Conference basketball titles and also coached them to three trips to NCAA Tournament and another to the NIT. BYU made it to the NCAA Final 8 with a team starring future NBA players Danny Ainge, Greg Kite and Fred Roberts. Arnold struggled after the 1981 season and finished coaching at BYU in 1983. Arnold accepted the head coaching position at the University of Hawaii in 1985 and coached at the school for two seasons and led the Rainbow Warriors to an 11-45 (.244) record. He resigned in 1987 and noted that his lack of success at the school was because "In order to win here you have to have J.C. transfers and that doesn't fit into my recruiting or coaching style". Arnold then was an assistant at Arizona State for two seasons. Personal life His son Gib Arnold also became a basketball coach and was most recently head coach at Hawaii from 2010 to 2014. Source.

Married James Harrison. ~ ~ ~ ~ HER OBITUARY: Sandra Asay Harrison, December 2, 1938 ~ September 8, 2020 (age 81) Our very cherished, loving, Sandra Lou, (Mom, Mumsey) passed to the other side on Tuesday morning September 8, 2020, in peace and comfort, surrounded by loved ones in her daughter’s home. Sandy was born December 2, 1938 in Roosevelt Utah to Bert and Sally Asay. Her younger years were spent in Ogden and American Fork. Her family then moved to Provo where she grew up with her younger sister Kathleen, and later her younger brother Michael. She did all her schooling in Provo. She graduated from B.Y. High School in the Class of 1957. She then attended Brigham Young University. It was while at BYU that Sandy met several special people who became life long friends and a special man who became her husband. After graduation, on June 5, 1962, Sandy married the love of her life, James M. Harrison. They enjoyed a long and joy filled marriage. They lived in several places briefly and then chose Bountiful as the place to raise their children. They ended up with seven children, a large and very happy family. Though busy with raising a family Sandy made time to serve in Church and community as well. The year she served as the Bountiful High School PTA president, her PTA was named the “Best PTA in the State of Utah” by the national PTA Association. She served as the Chairman of the Pennies by the Inch fundraising Executive Committee for the Primary Children’s Medical Center in SLC. At church she enjoyed singing in the choir, and teaching in the Primary, Sunday School, and Relief Society. She served as Primary President, and as an Ordinance Worker in the Bountiful and Mesa Temples. Sandy was talented, creative, and dedicated, and brought that with her into every responsibility she was given. Sandy loved people and found great satisfaction in helping and serving those in need. She always had a list of people to visit, to read to, to make meals for, all while raising seven children and fulfilling her other responsibilities. After the kids were raised, Jim and Sandy moved to “warmer Arizona” where they had old friends and made many more. Some of the family joined them there and several grandchildren were born and raised close by, so they enjoyed that very much. Sandy loved reading to her children and grandchildren and really loved to sing to them and teach them songs. Sandy’s greatest loves were her Savior, her husband, and her family (and BYU football). If Sandy loved you, you had no doubt about it. She was the sweetest, most genuine, loving, caring, and honest person that her family knew. Sandy is preceded in death by her husband, her parents, and her siblings, and is survived by her children: JB, Sissy (Blake Izatt), Chris (Doug Peterson), Jared (Jackie), Andi (Aaron Raty), Jen (Chad Martin), Jim, and fifteen grandchildren and sixteen great-grandchildren! A viewing was held Saturday morning, September 12, followed by a funeral service at the Bountiful 17th Ward Chapel, 650 E. 2150 S., Bountiful, UT. The service was streamed and is available on the Goff Mortuary Facebook page. Source.
