Faculty & Staff, including 1953-54, 1954-55 and 1955-56. Lane A. Compton. Algebra, Chemistry, Physics. ~ ~ ~ ~ "I was born in Ogden, Utah. I was born on April ll, 1920. I grew up in Ogden. I went on a mission in 1941. I graduated from Weber College before that when it was a junior college. I came back and went to the University of Utah, and got married in 1943. I struggled along and finally got my doctorate in 1955, and after getting most of my graduate work in I came to BYU as a faculty member. I’ve lived in Provo ever since. My father was a politician and so I was very interested in politics. ~ ~ ~ ~ My name is Lane A. Compton. I came to BYU as a teacher both at the High School and at the University, and was in the BY Academy building from 1953 to 1956. When I entered the classroom to meet my first class as a teacher at the school, I was met at the door by two students. One of them asked, "Are you our new chemistry teacher?" I replied, "Yes, I am." The student said, "The last two chemistry teachers lasted only one year each." Then he asked, "How long do you think you'll last?" It didn't take long to be tested. When the bell rang ending the class, all the boys jumped up in unison onto the laboratory desks located underneath the open windows on two sides of the room. They had the obvious intention of exiting through the windows. There wasn't time for me to think -- two more seconds and they would be through the windows, and I would be well on my way to becoming another one-year teacher. I reacted instantly and shouted, "Anybody who goes through that window, will never again come through that door!" It worked. They all got down from the lab desks and went out the door. Fortunately, I was not another one-year teacher, and I learned that they were just a bunch of fun-loving teenagers!
My office was in the basement. It was located next to the main entrance and stairs. Adjacent to my office was an unfinished area complete with spider webs in which I stored a few things. When I first entered the area I looked around in awe. The timbers were not of finished lumber -- they were large unfinished logs, with finished ends that could be bolted or nailed to other logs. The logs were of such large diameter that I thought they would support the entrance and stairs forever. With the remodeling of the building it looks as though those logs are well on their way to 'forever'." By Lane A. Compton, Provo.
