Members of the Class of 1976 were Fourth Graders in the elementary program at the BY Training School, when Brigham Young High School, along with the Brigham Young Laboratory Elementary Training School, was closed in May of 1968. At the request of the members of this class, this class has been added as honorary members to the BYA~BYH alumni directory. Most had been together since kindergarten, and if the school had continued, many would have graduated together in the spring of 1976. Had they done so, they would have been honored as the Centennial Class of Brigham Young High School, because the school opened its doors to its first class in 1876. Welcome, BYH Honorary Centennial Class of 1976!

Centennial Class of 1976. Jane Ann Callahan. BYU AS Nursing 1978. Married _______ Coats.

Class of 1976. Wendy Christensen. She married David Frahm. ~ ~ ~ ~ I attended school at the BYU Academy for three years, starting in 1964. I was there for first, second and third grades. I remember Miss Rasband was my first grade teacher -- it seems like she was about the same height as her students. For second grade I had Mrs. Searle. I loved her. One field trip that was fun, in her class, was going to the Wonder Bread Plant in Salt Lake City. We got to ride the train, take a tour and then they gave us a ruler to take home. Mrs. Allen taught me in third grade and I remember story time and a dance festival. One of the highlights at that school was the principal, Mr. Harward. He was such a good man. He would come into our classrooms sometimes and play the accordion. We really looked forward to that. I also remember having recess on the northeast side of the building. We played hopscotch, tag and jumped rope. It is exciting to drive by now and see the beautiful building and think of these memories. ~ ~ Wendy Christensen Frahm, Orem.
