Class of 1948. Loye Allred. Lincoln High School 1, 2. BYH 3. Her name is listed with the BYH senior class in the Senior Index in the 1948 Wildcat yearbook. Married Richard Nelson. (See Loye & her husband's photo on Class of 1949 reunion page for 2003.) ~ ~ ~ ~ HER OBITUARY: Loye Allred Nelson, 87, peacefully returned home on the morning of Wednesday, September 27, 2017. She was born in Provo, Utah, to Raymond Bliss and Alta Booth Allred on July 3, 1930. Loye grew up on the Allred’s farm in Provo with her parents and two younger siblings, Rey and Janice. She attended Lincoln High, B.Y. High and Brigham Young University, graduating in elementary education. She taught in both Utah and California and adored her fourth graders. Loye met her sweetheart Richard “Dick” Nelson while he was painting her mother’s house. Her mother asked him if he knew her daughter and he did not. She then asked, “Would you like to know her?” The rest is history. They were sealed in the Salt Lake Temple on August 15, 1956. Together they had three children: Kathleen, David, and Kristine. Throughout their sixty-one year marriage, Loye lovingly supported all of Dick’s endeavors, especially his businesses. She had a great sense of humor and never failed to make people laugh. Her grandchildren fondly remember her slipping cash into their pockets with the condition that they didn’t tell Grandpa. Loye had a strong testimony of the restored gospel of Jesus Christ, and was a faithful member of the LDS Church. She is survived by her husband, Dick; her children, Kathy Christensen (Dave), David Nelson (Michelle), Kris Babb (Dave); her sister, Janice Datwyler (Boyd); her siblings in-law, Kent Nelson (Carol Jean) and Helen Nicholls (Byron Pat); her fourteen grandchildren and twelve great-grandchildren. She was preceded in death by her parents and her brother Rey Allred (Mary Carol).

Y'ld Cat newspaper staff 1, 2, Feature Editor 3. ~ ~ ~ ~ My memories of Academy Square cover a lifetime and are linked to some of the most enjoyable periods of my life. I grew up living across the street from Academy Square on First East. To us it was always known as the Lower Campus, and we played on the lawns on the south and west and among the buildings. An abiding memory from those days is the sound of music that poured from the practice rooms in the basement of College Hall on the east half of the block. We played our games to the accompaniment of endless scales and practice compositions. We attended B.Y. High School in the Arts Building on the northwest portion of the block, and additional classes were held in the other buildings. Plays and weekly assemblies were held in College Hall. The Men's Gym on the top floor of the Training School Building on the northeast part of the block included such features as a great pole to slide from the dressing rooms down to the gym floor, exercise ladders, and a ping-pong table in a caged area above the Gym. (See his photo on Class of 1949 reunion page for 2003.) Dick was the son of Clarence Sidney Boyle, BYU 1924, and Elfie Bean Boyle, BYH 1912. Dick was born on February 17, 1931 in Provo, Utah. He married Margaret. Dick had two sisters and one brother: Elayne Boyle Hoffman, 1917-1968; Norma Claire Boyle, born January 23, 1927, married Fred Sorenson; and Richard Ralph "Dick" Boyle, BYH 1948, married Margaret. Dick was born on February 17, 1931 in Provo, Utah. ~ ~ ~ ~ HIS OBITUARY: RICHARD R. BOYLE OBITUARY, 1931 - 2022. Salt Lake City, Utah - Richard Ralph Boyle, 91, died Thursday December 29, 2022 after a very short illness. A Provo native, he was born on February 17, 1931. He attended schools in Provo, New York City, Cheyenne, Wyoming and Lakewood, Colorado. He returned to Provo at the end of World War II. He had graduated from Brigham Young High School in the Class of 1948. He then graduated from Brigham Young University. He served as an officer in the US Navy for three years which included being stationed in Japan for 18 months. At the end of his active duty, he enrolled in Law School at the University of Utah. After graduation, he worked as a law clerk at the Utah Supreme Court, an assistant Utah Attorney General, an attorney with the Law Department of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, and then in private law practice. He was one of the original partners of Kirton McConkie. He retired in 1991. He is survived by his favorite wife of 71 years, Margaret Brim of Downey, Idaho and their four sons. Richard and Gayle of Tucson, Arizona; Brad of Salt Lake City, Utah; Dan and Sue, Matt and Rachel both of Henderson, Nevada. His big sister, Norma Sorenson lives in Lake Oswego, Oregon. His sister Elayne and brother Mark preceded him in death. Twelve grandchildren and five great-grandchildren include him when they count their blessings. He was an active member of the Church throughout his life. He served in many, many callings including working as a guide in the Temple Square Mission for twelve years and many years teaching Gospel Doctrine in Sunday School. We remember him as a devoted husband and father, an interested and engaged grandfather and an enthusiastic and patient fan of BYU sports. Second only to his love of Margaret and his family was his love of tennis. He loved the game. He especially loved the people he played with. Many regular games with friends that extended over decades. He was possessed of a sharp mind and a lightning quick wit. In his professional life, many people depended on his solid advice and counsel. His family, however, treasure his unique hilarious observations that come to our minds every day. A memorial service will be held at 11 am Friday January 13, 2023 at the Holladay North Stake Center, 4395 So. Albright Drive (2145 E.) The family will be available to greet friends at the conclusion of the service. In lieu of flowers, the family suggests that you play a game of tennis. Extra credit for wearing the original BYU blue.

Wildcat Yearbook Assistant Editor 2, Yearbook Editor 3. Y'ld Cat newspaper staff 2. ~ ~ ~ ~ HER OBITUARY: Lois Burch Morgan ~ 1930-2020. Lois Burch Morgan passed away at her home Saturday morning, April 25th, 2020. She was born on Friday, June 20th, 1930, in the front room of their Gothic Revival family home at 33 North 600 West in Provo, to Pearl Estella Bradford Burch and William Hilton Burch. She was the last of seven children including Dean, Hilton, Garth, Fae, Bill, and George. Lois was a “daddy’s girl” sitting on her father’s knee at dinner time because there were no more available chairs. She was also highly independent and, at age 11, she walked downtown to Heindselman’s and took their knitting class. She then came home and taught her mother to knit. While attending BY Elementary School, Lois was busy candling eggs and preparing them for sale in the family poultry business. Lois attended Franklin Junior High and BY High, where she excelled academically, and was involved in multiple activities, including serving as the yearbook editor and a member of the Sub-Debs. Lois graduated in the BY High Class of 1948. Following high school she enrolled in the University of Utah College of Nursing where she later graduated with a Bachelor’s of Science in Nursing and was a member of Phi Beta. She was married on February 2, 1951 to Dr. Robert Leland Morgan, BYH Class of 1946. Bob was her high school sweetheart who, at the time, was a medical student at the University of Southern California. Lois worked as a nurse in Los Angeles while Bob finished his medical training. She and Bob raised their family in Paradise, California. They also lived in Chico, California, on a walnut orchard in Durham, California and eventually retired to Rocklin, California and Midway, Utah. Lois was preceded in death by her parents, her siblings, and her eldest son, Paul Andrew Morgan. Lois is survived by her husband of 69 years and five of her children. They and their spouses include Christopher B. and Stephanie Thomas Morgan, Richard B. and Leona Gima Morgan, Craig B. and Cinda Burton Morgan, Diedre Morgan and Mark N. Roberts, Pamela Morgan and Adam J. Alexander. The children are guiding her grandchildren: Andrew, Ian, Eric, Alexander, Connor, Drew, Cage, Kimberly, James, Bradley, Marissa, Bryce, Landon, Kiera, Nolan, Jenner, Matilda, Sage, Quinn, Eden, Summer and Grace. And on to the next generation of great-grandchildren: Carson, Caitlin, Owen, Rhett, Emma, June, Bridge, Scarlett, Bradford, Greyson, Jaky and Aaliyah. Lois was a devoted member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, giving generously of her time to church service. Lois held numerous leadership callings, including Primary President, Ward and Stake Relief Society President, but her most favorite was in the Nursery, where she would pop popcorn on Fast Sunday and let the smell waft down the hallway of the church building. In her senior years, she and Bob were called to be missionaries in the California Roseville Mission office, a calling they thoroughly enjoyed. Lois also spearheaded the Humanitarian Day in the Rocklin California Stake, where ladies and youth happily came together and sewed and tied numerous quilts for those in need. She could often be found at home knitting leper bandages or NICU hats and booties or beautiful hand-knit sweaters for children in Romania, all while listening to books on tape. She had a true zest for both learning and doing. Lois loved to travel and ski all over the world. She belonged to the Ski Bees Group for 35 years, retiring from skiing at the age of 82. Lois was practical, prudent, thrifty, talented, and possessed a “can-do” attitude. Anyone who visited her home would be blessed with an artfully prepared, nutritious, gourmet meal, beautifully presented, along with garnishes and heated and chilled dinnerware. Her home reflected her gift for interior design and creativity. Lois was an excellent seamstress and loved nature, flowers and gardening. She valued education and continued learning by taking classes at Chico State University in Japanese and floral design. Lois was obedient, faithful, trustworthy, and a very good friend. She spent many hours with her best friend and sister Fae playing marathon Scrabble games (some known to last a week) and visiting with each other. As with everything she did in life, Lois showed us how to endure to the end elegantly and gracefully. May you rest in peace, wife, mother, grand, and great. A graveside service will be held at 12:00 noon on Saturday, May 2, 2020 at the Provo City Cemetery, Provo Utah. A viewing will be held at the Nelson Family Mortuary in Provo from 10:00 — 11:30 that morning.[Provo Daily Herald, April 30, 2020]

"Seven Keys to Baldpate" 1. Wildcat Yearbook staff 3. ~ ~ ~ ~ Carma married Richard Anderson. Her parents: Gerrit de Jong, Jr., [Professor of Fine Arts at BYU from 1925 to 1972] and Thelma Bonham de Jong, married in 1951 in Salt Lake City. Gerrit and Thelma had three daughters: Belle de Jong Van Wagenen [BYH Class of 1936], Nola de Jong Sullivan [BYH Class of 1942], Carma Rose de Jong Anderson [BYH Class of 1948], all of Provo, Utah. @1995 [see More Info link.] Carma was recently been editing, writing, and swimming in 750 pictures and permissions because BYU Religious Studies Center has published her 1992 Ph.D. dissertation. She just turned 75, but is going "like a house afire" on publishing deadlines. It is a big $125 book, edition of 5000. @2007 ~ ~ ~ ~ In 1935, Rosabelle and Gerrit de Jong's exquisite new Dutch colonial home on University Avenue stood close to the BYU Academy which, restored, now serves as our Provo Library. We gardened our own food and carefully cared for making our own clothes, with as little spending as possible. But the Great Depression was never mentioned to me in kindergarten or later. I thought we must be the richest people in Provo! Our parents called us all away from any activities whenever we could be together. Prayer was of utmost importance to us. Often I was a tardy child in putting down my art projects, or coming in from play outside, sometimes finding all the family kneeling around my parents' bed and impatient for me. I would sink down by Daddy, and then wiggle my freckled body under his. I felt more secure than inside a guarded tower! I pressed my cheeks into the crocheted bedspread my Dutch grandma had elaborately made to grace our new home. The warmth of that home was all around me; the huge, kindly forces of my father were encircling me, and it seems there was a channel straight up to heaven, filled with my father's voice in prayer. From the age of 5 in 1935, I attended grade school at the BYU lower campus "Training School," a practice teaching ground for our education majors. At recess, sunny or snowy, I was often tempted to dash with a friend up the flight of stairs to Daddy's office of Fine Arts, 204 in the College Hall Building (both buildings now gone). There stood Dean Gerrit de Jong's big oak desk, with a seemingly endless array of tiny drawers under the roll top. Daddy never looked at me in his life without a smile, so immediately from one hidden corner he would reach for his stash of chocolate, either real Droste Dutch or Hershey American. He shared for our ravenous palates that sensual aroma and tranquilizing taste of what essentially contributed to my handsome Amsterdamer daddy's linguistic ability to write and lecture in six languages, or his musical inspiration to compose. His bloodstream was pure chocolate! Carma de Jong Anderson is both an artist and a consultant on historic clothing and textile restoration for historic sites of the LDS Church. She is a mother of four, grandmother of 10 and recent great-grandmother. Source. ~ ~ ~ ~ HER OBITUARY: Dr. Carma Rose de Jong Anderson passed peacefully on Thursday, November 17, 2022.
