Faculty & Staff, B. Y. Elementary School. Mrs. ______ Hansen. Taught Fourth Grade in the late 1920s and early 1930s. ~ ~ ~ ~ "My name is Carlyle Lambert. My family arrived in Provo 1926 when my father uprooted us from Rexburg, St. Anthony, Idaho area and came down to BYU to finish his college and get a master's degree. That was mostly all completed when he brought us down here in 1926/27. Our whole family went to BYU Training School, which no longer exists. It's been torn down. I have a lot of memories of that school. A lot of people went there. After I finished the sixth grade at the BYU Elementary School, then I went to Farrer Junior High School. . . . I did have some excellent teachers coming up through BYU. I had three teachers that decided I was going to learn or I was going to have to have some very serious conversations with my father, who at that time was the principal of BYU High School. Fortunately my fourth grade teacher Mrs. _____ Hansen wouldn't put up with any nonsense. If you had to stay there until 9 at night to finish an assignment, she stayed right there with you. You had to get it done, or you wouldn't go home. She would stay there all night I guess." --Carlyle Lambert, interviewed in 1999.

[As of October 2, 1994] ~ ~ ~ ~ HIS OBITUARY: Lloynel Maurice Harding was born September 12, 1921 and died at his home on June 28, 2008. Lloynel led a life worthy of "The Greatest Generation" of which he is part. Born in Provo, Utah, Lloynel was the oldest child of Marva Booth and Maurice Harding. He was left motherless at 1 1/2 years old when Marva died, along with his infant sister, following complications with child birth. When not at his father's home he spent much of his youth with his grandparents on their farm in west Provo. He had many fond memories of them and playing on the stream that ran through their property, which later became the GRA park. Although his mother had passed away, he had much love from his aunts and uncles as he was growing up. Lloynel is survived by his wife Carol; daughter Suzanne Harding McMullen; son Richard and wife Lyle Harding, and sons Phillip Pecoraro (wife Tiffany, daughters Sophie and Berkly,) and Patrick Pecoraro; son Paul Harding and his partner Brett Vuksinick; grandson Cody C. McMullen; grandson Brock C. and wife Jennifer McMullen and great grandson Titan Brock McMullen; brother Neil Harding and his wife Beverly; sister Marjorie and husband Charles Donnelly; sister Liane Harding; sisters-in-law Madge (Robert Harding) and Orva (Bruce Harding); aunt Grace Smith; and many nieces, nephews, and friends. Lloynel graduated from Brigham Young High where he was a gifted athlete playing most sports but excelling at basketball and track. He graduated from BYU in 1948 with a degree in political science. Lloynel enlisted and served his country during WWII from 1941 to 1945. He served with the 779th EPD Company in China, Burma, and India and drove the Burma Road. He met and made many lifetime friends and frequently attended army reunions. Sadly, one of the last survivors of his company, with Lloynel's death we lose yet another witness of that historic time. Lloynel met Carol Cummings after returning from his military service. They were married in Salt Lake City, Utah on June 26, 1947. Lloynel and Carol established their home in Orem. His career was steelmaking at the Geneva Steel Mill. Lloynel retired as a general foreman in 1983 after working 33 years on the blast furnaces. Lloynel had an enthusiasm for life and shared it with the people he loved. He was first and foremost about his family and the family vacation was Lloynel at his best. Vacations could be anything from a road trip to Yosemite with his wife and three children in a Pontiac station wagon in 1960 to more elaborate adventures which involved hauling a 5th wheel trailer and a 17-foot Bellboy boat to Lake Powell. Carol, his three children and his two grandsons all have memories of their favorite trips with him. Lloynel also enjoyed deer hunting the South Fork of Provo Canyon, fishing Strawberry and Flaming Gorge, bowling, rock collecting, gardening and sneaking table scraps to the family dogs. Carol and Lloynel loved playing cards. They could spend the day playing cribbage or stay up late into the night playing pinochle with anyone brave enough to offer a challenge. Those that met Lloynel later in life never knew the strong and vigorous man he was most of his life, instead they knew a gentle, kind and quiet man. Those listening closely enjoyed Lloynel's great sense of humor which he didn't reveal unless he knew you well. Graveside services will be held at 11 a.m. Wednesday, July 2, 2008, at the Provo City Cemetery. In lieu of flowers the family has requested donations to a charity of your choice.

Class of 1955. R. Clark Harding. Football, Children's Theatre -- Jack and the Beanstalk. After Clark left BYH, he went as a special student to BYU for one term to explore what his talents and abilities were. He tried barbering, liked it, and graduated from barber school in 1957. He worked as a barber until he retired in 1995. He had his own shop in North Salt Lake for many of those years. He served a mission to the Gulf States Mission (Arkansas) in 1962. He married Kay Clements from American Fork in 1965. She worked for the Church Genealogical Society for 40 years after her graduation from American Fork High School in 1959. Enjoying great health. He says he didn't like his looks in high school and thus purposely tried not to be in any pictures. Thus his photo did not appear with senior class in 1955 Wildcat yearbook, but he did graduate. Had thick glasses and sometimes wore a hearing aid -- hated it. He was finally forced to wear his hearing aid while barbering. With the help of modern technology, he now hears and sees extremely well. ~ ~ ~ ~ "I do remember and appreciate my teachers, especially Mrs. Peterson, the BY Elementary School Principal, who made an effort to get me in BY elementary school when I came back from the School for the Deaf in Ogden -- I remember hating that place. I entered BY elementary school at the fourth grade level, the same grade level as when I left Franklin School in Provo to go to the School for the Deaf. Repeating the fourth grade in this way is why I was a year older. I grew up in Provo with the rest of you. Mr. Richard L. Gunn, our art teacher, was very special and encouraged me to achieve. He taught me to climb up the ladder. I also enjoyed Anna B. Hart. She sure was a wonderful person to listen to. I think she would be proud of me and what has been accomplished in my life. She was just that kind of an individual." @2005.

She married Milton Henry Hardy on October 16, 1879. He was born September 17, 1845 in Groveland, Essex County, Massachusetts, and died August 23, 1905.

Knighton, M.D. LeGrand H. Hardy died on April 14, 1954, at the age of fifty-nine, after a long cardiac illness. To those of us who knew him well, the felling of personal loss was made all the more poignant by the memory of his restless energy, his insatiable curiosity, and his sympathetic understanding in time of trouble. Superficially gruff and austere, he was a delight to be with in the full acceptance of friendship. Nothing was ever done in half measure, and if his companions were left a little breathless after a session of philosophy, religion, art, science, or pure fantasy, it was worth it to see his facile mind at work. His interests were universal, and it was difficult to find a topic with which he was not only conversant but unusually well-informed. His was a heritage of high moral values which he cherished and developed to the point of intellectual fearlessness. There was no room for ostentation or sham, and if he condemned these in others it was only a reflection of his own self-discipline. This included a blanket denial of innate goodness, for he knew his short-comings and just wanted to be liked in spite of them. Even at an early age a great intellectual future was predicted for him. Born in Provo City, Utah, he was graduated from Brigham Young University in 1916. It is interesting to note that his maternal grandfather [A. O. Smoot] was responsible, in large part, for the organizing and financing of this institution. Graduate study at the University of Chicago followed, then a Bachelor of Science degree from Columbia University in 1919 and a Doctor of Medicine in 1921. Postgraduate study in Germany and Switzerland completed his formal education. He continued his informal self-education for the rest of his life, with an enthusiasm that welcomed any new idea and extracted the last bit of interest from it. Like many able people, he did not confine himself to scholastic achievements but took a big part in extra-curricular activities. It was the world about him that was exciting. Always interested in the out-of-dooors and any challenge that it presented, he was a member of the small party that was the first to climb Mt. Moran of the Teton range in Wyoming. This was followed by the ascent of other mountains in Utah, and even in recent years he returned whenever possible to the hills that he loved. As a young boy he was a good cowpuncher. Later he worked in the mines and became expert in the handling of dynamite. He was always proficient in the use of tools of trade, and, among other things, he learned to cut stone, engrave metals, and bind books like a professional. Careful and painstaking in his own work, he respected and learned from any craftsman who did a good job. It was characteristic of him that he did not feel qualified to be a Boy Scout leader until he could surpass all scouts under him in attaining Merit Badges. He was among the first organizers of the Boy Scout movement in Utah. At the time of his death he was Clinical Professor of Opthalmology in the College of Physicans and Surgeons of Columbia University, Associate Attending Ophthalmologist of Presbyterian Hospital, and Director of Knapp Memorial Physiological Optics Laboratories. He was a member of the American Opthalmological Society, of the New York Academy of Medicine, the New York Opthalmological Society, the Association for Research in Opthalmology, the American Academy of Opthalmology and Otolaryngology, a Diplomate of the American Board of Opthalmology, and a Fellow of the American College of Surgeons. Previous hospital connections included the New York Eye and Ear Infirmary, the Northern Dispensary, Mid-Town Hospital, Fifth Avenue Hospital as Director of Opthalmology, and finally, the Institute of Opthalmology and Vanderbilt Clinic of Presbyterian Hospital. During World War II he served with the Office of Scientific Research and Development of the Armed Forces. His written contributions to opthalmology were not numerous, but they were respected for their quality. His main interests lay in the field of physiological optics, and he was engaged in a study of the geometry of binocular space perception for the Office of Naval Research. His most recent contribution, just published, deals with color anomalies and their detection. A pioneer in orthopitic training, he was President jof the Orthoptic Council, which he founded in 1938, for about ten years. In 1932 he married Susanna Haigh, who survives him. We mourn the loss of an eminent ophthalmologist; we miss the man. [Transactions of the American Ophthalmological Society, 1955; Vol. 53: pages 13–15.]
