Ghost Classes of BYH 411

Class of 1980? If Brigham Young High School was closed in 1968, why are classes 1969 through 1980 included in this website? The closing in 1968 affected many students from Kindergarten through 11th Grade who had planned to attend and graduate from BY High. They were all forced to leave and complete their secondary education elsewhere. At the request of many who were students in those years, the classes of 1969 through 1980 have been added to this website directory as honorary alumni of BY High School. Sometimes called the "Ghost Classes" of BY High, all of them -- K through 11 -- were included in the historic final BYH Wildcat Yearbook published in 1968, along with the final graduating class of 1967-1968. Before that, students who attended BYH but who did not graduate with their classes were also marked as honorary alumni.

She taught our three oldest children, Laurie, Rick and Shelly at the BYU Lab School. She constantly did many extra things with and for them. We had many occasions of sledding, being welcomed at her home and etc. Her punishment to the children for wrong doing was to give her a kiss. It was often said that she is not only the best in Provo but in and beyond Utah. Her husband Lynn was one of the kindest men I've known. We send our warmest love and sympathy to you, Karen, Ramon and Robert and all the family. Jessie and family" ~ ~ ~ ~ Anne Lambert wrote on Jan 8, 2009: "June Searle was one of the finest teachers I have ever known. She taught our oldest daughter, Melinda, at the BYU Lab school. When I returned to BYU to obtain a certificate in Early Childhood Education, June was my teacher. She set the standard for teachers in her day. Thanks! and I am one who remembers the Sugar Plum Dream." [Comments also from the Provo Daily Herald.]
