Class of 188?. Maria Saphrona Jensen. She married _____ Morley. ~ ~ ~ ~ My grandmother, Maria Saphrona Jensen Morley attended BYU Academy in the late 1800's. She went on to teach in a little one-room schoolhouse in Moroni. She knew how important education was and inspired my dad to excel in academics, and in 1922, Alonzo John Morley came to BYU. He studied drama, designed stage sets, put on plays, dragged scenery up and down stairs and across the street south to the scene shop. He even cast me at age four, in one of the plays. He met my mom Eloise Stewart Morley in the Little Theater in the college hall building. There was a mirror on the wall. Mom was on the stage giving a talk when both she and my dad glanced in the mirror at the same time. Dad winked at her, she dissolved in laughter. That began their courtship and here I am as a result. Dad changed from drama to speech pathology. He was the first person in the world to obtain a Ph.D. in that field. His office was in the lower southeast corner of the college hall building. There was a small laboratory adjacent to his office. He smoked his own graph paper so he could record the breathing of his students. He was a genuine pioneer in his field. One day dad stepped out of his office for a moment, and when he returned the heavy heating radiator had fallen from the ceiling, and crashed down on his desk exactly where he had been moments before. Whew! What a narrow escape! I attended K-9 at BYU Training School. I remember in second grade being so crushed because I didn't receive as many valentines as others in the class, when I'd given every one a valentine cookie. Our third grade class with teacher Flora Fischer walked to Fred Baird's home to see a honeybee operation. The same teacher scolded me for writing a "love note" to a boy in the class. She also taught us how to draw trees and mountains. I learned to count to 100 that year. Our sixth grade teacher: Mr. Tuttle taught us about the movement of the sun by laying large sheets of paper on the ground, in both November and May. The size of the shadows of George Ballif and I were traced and the summer/winter shadows were compared. The winter shadows were longer than the May ones. I don't know how Mr. Tuttle was able to teach us as there was a constant Thump! Thump! Thump! The Men's Gym classes were held on the third floor above our class. In junior high, Curtis Colvin made my life miserable by teasing me. He'd grab my purse and fling it from the top of the third floor stairs and I'd have to run down three flights of stairs to retrieve it. Also in junior high, I was devastated when I tried out for the part of a pretty, young maiden, and instead was cast as a CAT! My parents convinced me of the importance of supporting actors and that it took "real acting" to play a cat. Mr. Steineckert was our teacher. In college we raced back and forth, up and down between the women's gym, the Grant library, the old J.S. building, down the hill to the education building, up the creaking stairs, engulfed by the foul odors from Uncle Joseph K. Nicholes' chemistry lab to the top floor for art classes with B.F. Larson and Roman Andrus, up and way out to the North Building for Sociology classes with Dr. Reed Bradford and Dr. Wilford Smith. I returned to BYU and got a masters degree in Elementary Education. I was asked to teach a nursery school training class in the basement of the education building. I had enjoyed the student teachers. The toilet was in the classroom up on a pedestal with stairs leading up to it. No privacy. I had a couple of my own kids who didn't get along. They attended counseling services in the academy building. Much later, my daughter Lindy Fonoimoana Carlson took Special Ed. Classes in the basement and first floor of the Education building in 1973-75. She remembers that one of her best teachers was a blind gentleman. She graduated in 1975, was married three days later in the Manti Temple, moved to Tahiti, raised five children, and now operates a childcare center there. Presently I have a grandchild, Masina Marie Tutor, who is starting her freshman year, and will occasionally use the "new library" at Academy Square. Watching the deterioration of my old school was devastating. Though I lived in Hawaii until 1989, on trips back here I wrote letters to the editor, campaigned, passed out flyers, attended meetings, raked leaves, participated in the Haunted House, swept out rooms, made monetary contributions, and prayed I'd win the sweepstakes so I could help save the buildings. I hoped all four could be saved but finally had to be satisfied with the Education Building, so now this marvelous building restoration. is the result of the efforts of all of us who worked to save it.
