Brigham Young High School Class of 1919:

Names of high school graduates have been found in several sources, including a partial list in the 1919 BYH Graduation Program, yearbook entries in the 1918 BYU Banyan, and individual entries in the annual records of BYU found in the BYU Records Office, with research done by Scott Cowley. It appears the Class of 1919 list is substantially complete, with 90 profiles. We have added one more record with a question mark, and we are still trying to confirm whether Carl Davis Swenson [or Swensen] attended Brigham Young High School. [September 2008]

Excerpt from the 1919 Banyan, BYH Section, Fourth Year's Class History: This year has been to our class a joyous and a happy one, in spite of the handicap of existing conditions. At the start we had our officers all elected, our plans made, our air castles built -- then came the "Flu." Well, we lost our president and missed many officers. So we started our school late, without an executive, and quite without unity. In athletics, the cross country run was postponed, there was no fall track work, the basketball season was extremely short, and there was no baseball. But, on the spring track work we furnished many of the men on the H.S. track team. In social lines we certainly exceeded our original outlook. Our first party was a humming success, and our Saratoga trip was one of the biggest times of the year. Our resume is brief but bright -- we came up smiling! ~ ~ ~ ~ At 65+ classmates, this list appears to be fairly complete.

Lorna and Lawrence Maycock

Class of 1919. Lorna Booth. She graduated from BYH in College Hall on Wednesday, May 28, 1919. She wrote the following poem which was published in the commencement program:

When you come to the end of your high school days,
And you look back over the years
Of work filled with pleasure and friendships gay,--
Do your eyes fill with parting tears?
As you think what the end of your high school days
May mean to a student true,
As commencement comes with its brighter day,
And your mates say good-bye to you.

Well, this is the end of your high school years,
As we near the college, too;
And it brings resolves that are high and clear
To fulfil ideals true,
And whether we meet our friends more,
These memories will never fade;
And the joys we have shared in the years before
Still shall hold the dear friendships made.

~ ~ Words by Lorna Booth
Lorna Booth sang in a trio at commencement along with Violet Johnson and Virginia Christensen. Lorna also gave a reading, "Tipperary Days."
