Because there are no public graduations
this year, you know, Covid-19, Facebook
asked that people post their graduation pictures
to support the Class of 2020.
This is a bad picture. It was on my poster that
I had on my bulletin board to introduce me to
my students every year.
Anyway . . .
AMERICAN FORK HIGH SCHOOL

I am a TRUE Bicentennial Graduate!
Our country was created in 1776.

DIPLOMA
Graduation was held at the
American Fork Tabernacle.
I graduated with honors . . . 3.76.
As a reward, all honor students got to
sit in the choir seats on the stand.
They were soft!
We also sang two songs.
That's it.
No cords.
No National Honor Society sash.
I did get a gold National Honor Society
sticker on my diploma.
There were 276 in my graduating class,
and about 850 in the high school.

DIXIE JUNIOR COLLEGE
St. George, Utah
I attended Dixie Junior College
my Freshman & Sophomore years of college.
I LOVED IT!!!
There was about 1200 students.
The reason I decided to go there was because
my dad taught Math, Physics, and Surveying
there from 1957-1964.
I spent hours looking through all of his yearbooks.
My best friends, Renae Allen & Carol Steineckert
came down for my graduation!
Carol passed away July 24, 2002.
I also graduated from LDS Institute.
Seminary was for high school students.
Institute was for college students.
You had to take all of the Book of Mormon classes,
plus several credits to finish.
My favorite class was
LDS Church Presidents.
BRIGHAM YOUNG UNIVERSITY
I attended BYU my Junior & Senior years.
Because I graduated from Institute at Dixie,
all of my religion credits transferred, and I
only had to take religion classes my junior year.
I don't know how many were in my education department,
but there was about 27,000 in the school!
I majored in Elementary Education with
a minor in Spanish and Political Science.
The reason I decided to go there was because I
wanted to be an Elementary school teacher, preferably
2nd or 5th grade.
My mom had had student teachers from all of
the colleges in Utah, and said
BYU had the best education department . . . which
they did at the time.
I did NOT like living in Provo, my ward,
my classes, or the people.
The only time I liked it was
Spring and Summer Quarters,
and student teaching.
I student taught in 4th grade
at Lehi Elementary.
My cooperating teacher was Kim Hansen.
(Interesting side note. He knew Conrad
from when he lived in Manti when they were
both single. Actually, he was Kim's best man
at his wedding! I was looking through
Conrad's little address book the first year
I knew him. I saw the name "Kim Hansen".
I asked if this was male or female.
Then, I figured out it was my
cooperating teacher!)
Loved that experience!
If I had to do it over,
I would have chosen Southern Utah University
or Utah State University.
Dixie Junior College is now
Dixie State University . . . and I would have stayed there.

College of Education
With my afro hair, and our
German Shepherd, Roger.
Yes, this is extremely unusual.
This was our goat, Dum.
Dum had a twin, named Bo.
(We didn't have the twin)
Dum + Bo = Dumbo.
