Faculty & Staff Early 1960s, including 1962-64 - Physical Education & Health Teacher. Geraldine Critchley. ~ ~ ~ ~ HER OBITUARY: GERALDINE CRITCHLEY. Born March 13, 1933 to Ferris James and Lilian Florence Parkin Critchley in King Hill Idaho, the second of 5 children. Her first bed was a cardboard box in the kitchen of the family home. The open oven door provided the heat. She attended Roosevelt Elementary, Franklin Junior High, and Pocatello High School. After high school graduation she worked at the "Letter Shop" -- a printing shop -- where she learned to operate a printing press. This skill she put to good use when she was called to Finland on a mission for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. She spent most of her 2 year mission in the mission home printing the Book of Mormon in the Finish language. She also was able to travel through Europe and Russia at the conclusion of her mission. When she returned to Pocatello she enrolled at Idaho State University as a Physical Education Major. She achieved her Bachelor's Degree 4 years later. Upon graduation she accepted a teaching position at Brigham Young High School, in Provo Utah. Soon after this, Jerry's younger sister LaVonne lost her husband to a terminal illness. Jerry offered to have LaVonne and her infant son come and live with her in Provo, while LaVonne attended BYU. Upon LaVonne's graduation, they all moved back to Pocatello, where they both began careers in the Idaho Education system. Jerry was given the position of the Women's Physical Fitness Teacher, and later became the Athletic Director for the American Falls School District. At the time Jerry was the first female in the State to hold this position. She remained at American Falls School District until her retirement nearly 40 years later. She was also called to serve as the Relief Society President in her Ward in American Falls. Jerry was an avid Bowler, winning many titles and tournaments over the years. Jerry was very active and involved in the Idaho State Athletic Association, holding many leadership positions. Upon her retirement she had planned on traveling with her widowed mother Florence. However Mom was well into her 80's by this time so their travel plans had to be amended to shorter trips close to the Pocatello home they shared. She loved to spend time with her family in Island Park Idaho, camping at Macks Inn. Although she had no biological children, she was a wonderful, loving Aunt to her 14 Nieces and Nephews. She was integral in each of their educations in a variety of ways. She died September 14th, 2022, at the age of 89. Her entire life was consumed by her Faith, her Family, and all of the many students she inspired over the course of her life.

Faculty & Staff, beginning in the 1955-56 school year and continuing through the 1956-57 year. Alex Basil Darais was born in 1918, in California, to Greek parents. He gives credit for his interest in fine arts to his parents, who exposed him to their Greek culture. Both the fine arts and Greek traditions remain an important part of Darais' life. When he was serving in World War II, Darais received a paperback book of poems from the Red Cross titled The Pocket Book of Verse, Great English and American Poems, edited by M.E. Speare. He read these verses a great deal, and they inspired his life-long love of poetry. In 1946, back from the war, Alex Darais attended Brigham Young University and majored in art. He also began to write poetry. After graduating, he went to Claremont Graduate School in California. Having completed his master's degree, he returned to Brigham Young University in the 1950s to teach art at the old Academy and BY High School. As a designer and painter, he became one of BYU's most beloved and respected faculty members. Alex Darais was deeply influenced by cubist watercolorist John Marin and abstract artist Marsden Hartley, as well as by the oriental philosophies of Zen Buddhism. Darais often quotes from his favorite philosophers in classes and in casual conversation. For example, when being interviewed for this biography, he said at his age, he's very aware of the passage of time, and he quoted two old Greek proverbs. "The only permanent thing is change," and "You can't step in the same river twice." Darais says his art works come in response to feelings and experiences, they are intimate and involved. As a teacher and father of seven, he found time constraints required him to do his art "on the run." He changed from oils to gauche and acrylics so he could allow his art "to spill out onto the canvas." This change in media has given his art a sense of expediency and spontaneity that accurately reflects his feelings. Alex has always had an exquisite eye for design, especially for pleasing and interesting patterns hidden in everyday scenes and objects. He finds aesthetic value in shapes most people never notice. Once, at a wedding reception of a friend, he had someone stand on a chair to take a photograph of the intriguing shape of a spill on a tablecloth. As a teacher, he worked to awaken in his students a sensitivity to the infinite beauties all around them, as well as to the design of utilitarian objects. He was once asked to no longer bring his design class to a local department store because the department manager was afraid the students' outspoken critiques of the dinnerware and flatware would discourage customers. Darais constantly points out both interesting shapes and also poor design to his students and to anyone who happens to be around him. He asks everyone to think and to analyze whether objects fit, ("How would that spoon fit your hand? How would it feel in your mouth?") whether the objects are comfortable, are durable, and are practical. Graphic design has also always interested Alex. His best-known projects are probably the Bonneville Bank and Sundance logos. His design orientation carries over into his approach to painting. He makes no attempt to create a three-dimensional picture plane, but uses a straightforward, two-dimensional expression of his ideas and feelings. His paintings are graphic images. Besides his innate interest in design, Darais' love of poetry has helped inspire his art, as well as, his art inspiring his poetry. Darais created a painting titled "Over Three Billion Served" in 1974, and later in 1986, he wrote the poem "Beef." (The poem is found in his book "Little Bird, Selected Poems and Paintings" available through BYU's Museum of Art). Conversely, he wrote the poem "Dark Continent" in 1965, after reading a news story in the Provo Daily Herald; and in 1969, painted a work with the same title, "Dark Continent". The painting "Over Three Billion Served" was painted after Darais noticed a red cross lying on the ground in a parking lot. When he picked it up, the McDonalds' "Big Mac" container "immediately conjured up an image with religious connotations." Thoughts of all the animals that had been slaughtered to make hamburgers came to mind, and he could envision one cow that was trying to break out of the herd. The images also were tied to personal and powerful religious feelings about sacrifice. Out of these feelings came a piece of art portraying both religious values and social criticism. Like many artists and teachers, Darais paints and teaches for the sheer joy of it. However, unlike most artists, Darais has shied away from promoting or selling his art. His wife says each art work is like a child to him, and he can't bear to discuss price, so he doesn't sell many. He has given a few pieces to area museums, and his seven children have each picked out their favorites. In 1990, Darais had a book of poetry and art published: "Little Bird, Selected Poems and Paintings". The book is the result of more than a decade of work. And in April of 1995, a retrospective exhibit of his art work was displayed at the Museum of Art on the Brigham Young University campus. In his final year as a teacher at B.Y. High School, Alex Darais also served as the Wildcat yearbook advisor. It was his idea to take the entire yearbook staff to Salt Lake City to meet with President David O. McKay, and to bring back a personally autographed photo of President McKay for the yearbook (Click here for McKay history). ~ ~ ~ ~ HIS OBITUARY: Alexander Basil Darais passed away peacefully at home on August 8, 2007, with family by his side. He was born in Venice, California in 1918 to Christina and Basil Darais, who emigrated from Kolindros, Greece. He enjoyed a happy, free-spirited childhood with his three siblings, Genevieve, Tom, and Katherine. He graduated from Venice High School. Two years later, at a pivotal point in his life, he found and joined the LDS faith. Alex served honorably in the U.S. Army Medical Corps during World War II. After a three-year involvement in the North African Campaign, he was reassigned to Santa Barbara, Calif., where he met the love of his life, Norma Louise Johnson. They were married in the Salt Lake Temple on June 13, 1945. He studied art at Brigham Young University and earned an MFA degree from Claremont Graduate School. In the fall of 1954 Alex began a long and distinguished career as a professor of art and design at BYU. He was highly respected by colleagues and students alike. While teaching and raising a family, Alex produced a body of paintings that reflects his life, his philosophy, and his deep convictions. He also applied his aesthetic sense to creating dynamic logos as well as product and package designs. Alex had a passionate pastime ~ he loved to compose poems and musical scores. These numerous works continue to delight many. Some of Alex's creativity was captured in his book, Little Bird, published in 1990. Alex had various church callings. He served in the bishopric, the stake high council, in the Provo Utah Temple, and as a missionary to Greece. Alex was a happy man who was most content to share that happiness. He is dearly loved and will be greatly missed. He is survived by his wife, Norma; five sons ~ Norman A. (Judy Barney) Darais; Christopher B. (Vicki Coffin) Darais; Marcus A. (Debbie Conn)Darais; Thomas C. (Suzanne Miner) Darais; and Damon A. (Stacey Brown) Darais; two daughters ~ Christina M. Darais (Edwin Oberbeck) and Andrea C.

Norma Louise Johnson Darais departed this life peacefully on Friday, April 4, 2014, embraced by the great love of family members present and distant. She was born on March 1, 1923, to Alben Sivard and Clara Deborah Peterson Johnson in Ogden, Utah. Norma was preceded in death by her husband, Alex (on whose birthday she passed), and her older sister Leone, and she is survived by her younger brother and sister, Charles and Marie. She is also survived by her seven children, Norman (Judy); Christopher (Vicki); Marcus (Debbie); Christina (Edwin Oberbeck); Thomas (Suzanne); Andrea; and Damon (Stacey); as well as her 22 grandchildren and her 25 great-grandchildren -- devoted service to whom was the culmination of her life's work. Norma's life path was evenly paved, leading her along to high levels of sustained productivity amid high volumes of sunshine -- life's setbacks never deterred her. At age four, upon her fathers death, Norma's family moved to Los Angeles. She graduated from Washington High School in 1941 and thereafter felt very blessed for spiritual guidance that led her to study food science and nutrition, for which she obtained a degree from UC Santa Barbara. During her studies she met the handsome Greek artist and poet Alexander Basil Darais, who, on his WWII furlough, seized every opportunity to win her love and did so speedily. They were married after Norma's graduation in 1945, in the Salt Lake Temple, by the prominent Apostle John A. Widtsoe, noted Utah university administrator, author, and agriculture expert. Leaving their families behind in California, Norma and Alex moved in 1955 to Provo, Utah, where Alex began his distinguished career as an art professor at BYU, buttressed by Norma's constant support and child rearing. Norma taught home economics at a high school, in the community, and for the Church, always touting the value of the Word of Wisdom -- her love for which had increased early in life through Elder Widtsoe. Norma's gifted expertise in these subjects brought great benefit to her seven children, who experienced a continual abundance of healthy cuisine punctuated with original recipes that became favorites in the home and beyond. There was nothing Norma couldn't can, pickle, nectarize, or fruit-leatherize. Her children wore her handiwork. They felt soul-brightened by the funny and clever forms of her creativity -- in seasonal garden-gathered decorations as well. With all of her domestic designs she often would say, "I love my home and I love being in it!" Many visitors to Norma's home found themselves easily endeared to her upon exposure to her warmth and grace. Norma was always eager to serve the Lord through church service, a highpoint of which came in 1989 when she was called to serve a mission to Greece with her beloved companion, Alex. She, like her husband, delighted in writing verse. Never really meaning to compete with the poetic prowess of his book, Little Bird, she playfully stated that her works would be compiled as Big Bird! Norma had an unquenchable thirst for knowledge. Of all her reading she most cherished the scriptures--favorites of which she memorized and shared with others -- and her days began with humble study of the scriptures. She called the gospel in its entirety her "Pearl of Great Price." For her wholeness and layers of natural strength whose luster always shone in her countenance, Norma is treasured as her family's Pearl of Great Price. They will miss her profoundly until they are joined together with her again. Formal remembrances for Norma will begin with a viewing to be held Friday, April 11, 2014, from 7 p.m. to 9 p.m. and on Saturday, April 12, 2014, from 12:30 p.m. to 1:30 p.m. Following the second viewing on April 12, a funeral service will be held at 2 p.m. The viewings and funeral service will be held at the Pleasant View Chapel located at 650 East Stadium Avenue in Provo. The family sends sincere thanks to the medical staff at Utah Valley Regional Medical Center for their tender care of Norma. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to the LDS Church's Perpetual Education Fund. Condolences may be sent to the family at www.SundbergOlpinMortuary.com [Provo Daily Herald, April 09, 2014]

Erickson, second principal of BYA Beaver Branch ~ Murdock Academy: "Our next door neighbor was Alfred Durham of the music department. He was called Professor Durham presumably because of his being a musician but probably also because of his dignified bearing and lofty character. He always talked and behaved like a gentleman. He accepted without a moment's doubt the theological beliefs and moral standards of his church. He was president of the Murdock Academy Branch and was in charge of all the singing and dancing of the community. I was his first counselor in the branch presidency and George Luke was his second."
