Class of 1959. Sherman Lee Anderson. Concert Band, Pep Band, Chorus, Y'ld Cat Newspaper, Dance Band, Instrumental Music Service Award, 3-year Instrumental Music Award. Married JoHannah. Worked for the USAF. Outstanding drummer. His parents: Leland Andrew Anderson and Zelda Whitlock Anderson, married 1940 in Manti, Utah. Their three children: Sherman (JoHannah) Anderson [BYH Class of 1959], Roy, Weber County; Jack Anderson, Lindon, Utah County; Lynette Anderson [BYH Class of 1969] (Alan) Spriggs, Coalville, Summit County. ~ ~ ~ ~ HIS OBITUARY: Sherman Lee Anderson passed away quietly and comfortably surrounded by his loving wife and sons on Wednesday, May 8, 2013. Sherm was born to Leland and Zelda Whitlock Anderson on September 30, 1941 in Mayfield, Utah. He was raised in Provo, Utah, where in his youth he was full of hijinks and fun. He was an avid photographer and loved playing the drums. He was quite the drummer boy in the B.Y. High marching and dance band and continued to carry a love for the drums and catchy tunes throughout his life. Sherman graduated from BYH in the Class of 1959. He met the love of his life on a $5 dollar bet and won her heart . . . his “shiny little dolly”, Jo-Jo. They were sealed on October 12, 1963 in the Manti LDS Temple. He and JoHannah were looking forward to celebrating their 50th wedding anniversary this year. Sherm graduated from a technical program in electronics and afterwards was employed at Hill Air Force Base. Some of his projects included guidance systems for the Sidewinder missile, radar for the F-16, photographics and instrument repair. He also served TDY tours to Thailand and Chicago and retired in 1998 with thirty years of civilian service. Sherm enjoyed constantly tinkering on something, whether it was a model car or wooden ship, a painting, or a home improvement project outside in the sunshine. He also loved cars and had a lot of fun customizing them over the years. He won several awards for his vision and creativity at many a car show and made quite a hobby of it later in life. He loved reading, drums, and most of all, spending time with his family. Family was central to Sherm and was foremost in his thoughts. He loved spending the summers outside with everyone in the pool or barbecuing. He loved taking family vacations and often dreamed of an “Andersonmobile” that could fit everyone in altogether to venture to whatever destination they were traveling to. Nothing was more important to him than spending time with those he loved and serving them in any way he could. He made many a visit to comfort others with some small token of his love (a Krispy Kreme donut, a magazine, a needed tool or item) while he himself was suffering in pain and awaiting a liver transplant. He was truly selfless and full of love for others. Surviving members of his family are his wife, JoHannah Stolworthy Anderson, sons, Jason Anderson, Darin (Marie) Anderson and Dustin (Monika) Anderson, sister, Lynette (Alan) Spriggs, brother, Jack (Tonia) Anderson, and six grandchildren: Gavin, Mila, Nadia, Jack, Halle and Logan Anderson. Funeral services will be held Monday, May 13th, 2013, at 10 a.m. at Lindquist’s Roy Mortuary, 3333 West 5600 South. The family will meet with friends Sunday from 6 to 8 p.m. and also Monday, prior to the services, from 9 to 9:45 a.m. at the mortuary. Sherm will be laid to rest at the Orem City Cemetery, Utah at approximately 2 p.m. on May 13, 2013. Source 1. Source 2.

Lee), Linda Jane McDonald Andrus (Alec). Alternate email: lma9046@aol.com [Linda]. @2011 ~ ~ ~ ~ "I have come to conclude that most of my experiences at B Y High were sources of deep seated issues that a team of expensive and skilled psychoanalysts have not been subsequently able to dislodge from my brain. B Y High was the toughest period of my life but it did prepare me for the US Army, graduate schools, working with drug addicts and alcoholics, and coaching little league and youth soccer. I loved Julia Caine and Anna Boss Hart, who challenged us with integrity of thought and care for truth. I loved the old buildings and I recall many times considering the great people that had gone on before from its earliest times. I recall feeling warm and hopeful about the good people that would come after. I loved the rickety staircases to the upper floors and the candy store of the main lobby. And I rued the principal's office and the decisions that came out of them. Brother Magleby focused on Doctrine and Covenants 1:2-3, 9 in a sophomore seminary class one day and it was impetus for me to CTR for years. ~ Alec Andrus" @Jun 2011

Funeral services will be held at 11:00 a.m., Saturday, January 8, 2011 at the Pleasant View 1st Ward Chapel, 650 East Stadium Ave., Provo, Utah. Friends may call at the church from 9-10:45 a.m. prior to services. Interment, Provo City Cemetery. Condolences may be sent to the family at info@bergmortuary.com. [Provo Daily Herald, Thursday, January 6, 2011] ~ ~ ~ ~ A Farewell: Aniene Porter . . . passed away this past week, while in St. Thomas. Aniene had traveled to the Virgin Islands to spend the holidays with her daughter Samantha. To all of us who knew her, it provides some comfort to know that she left this world from the islands that she loved, while spending time with her cherished Samantha. Her last email to us confirmed that she "had a lovely Christmas...." and was about to "step out on the porch and look at some lovely scenery and have a cool drink". January 1, 2011. ~ ~ ~ ~ HER OBITUARY: Aniene Andrus Porter passed away peacefully on Wednesday, December 29, 2010, while visiting her daughter and enjoying her annual retreat to the warm waters of Saint Thomas, Virgin Islands. She left while engaged in an adventure, which should not surprise us. She left us too soon, and will be greatly missed by all whose lives she touched. Aniene was born to Irva Pratt Andrus and James Roman Andrus on September 24, 1939, in Bell, Los Angeles County, California. She and her twin sister Aniece struggled in their birth and Aniece succumbed after 13 days, leaving Aniene to go it alone in a family of brothers. Aniene moved to Provo as a young child with her family when her Dad took a professorship at BYU. She attended elementary school at the BYU Training School, and graduated from BY High School in the Class of 1957. She graduated from BYU with a degree in education. In her early career, she taught elementary school with enthusiasm and love. She married Blaine D. Porter in 1962 and bore two children, Samantha Ann Porter and Marcus Kanoa Porter. They traveled and lived in Hawaii, Africa and Asia during their career with the U.S. State Department. Their home base was at their home in Vienna, Virginia. After 21 years of marriage, Blaine and Aniene divorced. The tapestry of Aniene's life was woven of friendships, responsibilities and adventures, and with remarkable continuity and caring. She collected friends and kept them in her heart and as close as circumstances would allow. "Aniene stories" are the treasured legacy of her family, her friends and her associates. She understood how to persevere when times were hard, strange or ambiguous. She loved to facilitate a better experience for others. Aniene had a gift for drawing others in, and was an "adopted" Mom or family member to many. She loved a celebration, and loved life, and was fun to be with. As an employee in the Economics Department of Virginia Tech University for over 30 years, Aniene shepherded many young scholars through their advanced degrees. She enriched the experiences of students and faculty and added her own special touch to everything she did. Aniene was a partner/owner of "Once Upon a Time" - a world of toys, dolls, books, and other delights. She became an expert buyer and merchant and loved to share the treasures she found with her customers as well as with friends and family. Aniene was a faithful member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and served ward members and the community in kindness throughout her life. Aniene is survived by her children Samantha Porter of St. Thomas, Virgin Islands and Marcus (Michelle) Porter and beloved grandson Jordan, of West Chester, Ohio. She is also survived by her brothers Ray (MaryAnn) Andrus and James Gregory (Joan) Andrus both of Provo and Alec (Linda) of Boise, Idaho and many nieces, nephews and their families who loved her. She was preceded in death by her parents and by her twin sister. Funeral services will be held at the Pleasant View First Ward Chapel on 650 East Stadium Avenue in Provo at 11 a.m., Saturday, January 8, 2011. There will be a viewing prior to the funeral from 9:00-10:30 a.m. A memorial service will also be held in Virginia at a later date. Interment, Provo City Cemetery. Memorials for Aniene should probably be made to your own causes in your own way. She knew what hers were and would have desired that each of us would know ours.

Roman and Irva Andrus

Faculty & Staff. Senior High Art Teacher at BYH in [1940?] 1942-43, 1943-44, 1944-45, 1945-46 through 1946-47. He also served as the Wildcat Yearbook Advisor in 1947. HIS OBITUARY: James Roman Andrus, well-known artist and educator, age 85, died at his home in Provo, Utah on June 23, 1993. He was born July 11, 1907 in St. George, Utah to Alexander Burto (A.B.) and Rozilla Brooks Andrus. He married Irva Rose Pratt on July 3, 1933. Their marriage was solemnized in the St. George Temple on May 6, 1939. Roman received his Bachelor's and Master's degrees from Brigham Young University and his doctoral degree from the University of Colorado at Boulder. He joined the faculty of Brigham Young University Art Department in 1940, designed the Printmaking curriculum, and served for many years as Department Chairman. He retired in 1972. Dr. Andrus studied in major art centers in the United States and Europe. His award-winning paintings and prints have been exhibited in galleries, schools, universities, and private collections throughout the United States, Australia, and New Zealand. He was chairman of the Pacific Arts Association National Headquarters Committee, a member of the Utah State Institute of Fine Arts, a member of the Utah Symphony Orchestra Board, and the Utah Academy of Arts, Science and Letters. His many creative and teaching awards included the BYU Emeritus Club, Special Recognition Award in 1987, and the College of Fine Arts and Communications Distinguished Alumni Award in 1992. Roman Andrus was an active member of the LDS Church. He was a member of the General Board of the Deseret Sunday School Union, the first bishop of the Provo Oak Hills II Ward, a High Councilman, ordinance worker, and sealer in the Provo Temple. He and his wife served a mission to New Zealand where he was a counselor in the Temple Presidency. Roman is survived by his wife, three sons, a daughter and their families: Roman Raphael (Ray) Andrus [BYH Class of 1952] and MaryAnn Olson Andrus, and their ten children; James Gregory Andrus [BYH Class of 1956] and Joan Morrison Andrus, their five children and six grandchildren; Alec Veigh Andrus [BYH Class of 1961] and Linda McDonald Andrus, their five children and two grandchildren; Aniene Andrus [BYH Class of 1957] Porter and her two children. He is also survived by a brother, George Andrus, and four sisters, Reva A. Beard, Mary A. Leigh, Pearl A. Bennett, and Dawn A. Hunter. He was preceded in death by a twin daughter, Aniece (twin, born on 24 Sep 1939, died on 6 Oct 1939); his mother and father, and a brother, Calvert Andrus. Funeral services were held Monday, June 28, 1993, in Provo. Interment, Provo City Cemetery. [Deseret News, Saturday, June 26, 1993.] ~ ~ ~ ~ HIS WIFE'S OBITUARY: Irva Rose Pratt Andrus passed from this life on Sept. 28, 2004, surrounded by her family in Provo. She had shown her determination to endure through 91 years of life. Her faith in the Savior and in his restored gospel were the foundation of her activities throughout her life. She leaves a legacy of commitment to service and caring. A daughter and granddaughter of pioneer stock, Irva was raised in the red rock sandstone and juniper country of Kanab, Utah. She loved the rhythm and hue of the Kiabab. Her heritage also included the intellectual integrity and curiosity of Orson and Parley Pratt. She developed the soul of a poet and a teacher, a nurturer and worker. Her love for education led her to excel in her Southern Utah primary education and to aspire to collegiate and graduate training, despite her family's humble financial resources. On her way, Irva met Roman Andrus. They married during the Great Depression. She learned during those years to measure every financial transaction and that hope is best placed in more important things than money. She supported Roman in his studies in art school and university, culminating in his doctorate at the University of Colorado. Roman's early graduate work at Columbia University is often remembered by the family as the time of "New Jersey goulash" and simple picnics among the landscapes of upstate New York. As Roman taught and helped the Art Department grow at Brigham Young University, Irva went back to school, while balancing her roles as mother, wife, and church and community worker. She graduated from BYU with her oldest son, Ray. She continued on to obtain a master's degree. At Sunset, Wasatch and Rock Canyon schools, she taught life skills and values as well as scholastic attainment to elementary students. Decades later, she is remembered fondly those her students. Irva loved her associations with BYU. She encouraged and supported Roman's art students, family members and adopted BYU family in their educational efforts. She challenged them to seek after learning out of the best books and experiences. Irva served as a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints throughout her life. Always a teacher, she served in ward and stake assignments and cherished her mission with Roman to New Zealand to serve in the temple presidency. She worked along side Roman in the Provo Temple and, after his passing, taught reading at the Missionary Training Center and served as a docent volunteer at the BYU Museum of Art until a stroke ended her physical ability to do so. Irva loved family gatherings and felt bound to carry burdens, often unasked. She didn't care much for trappings and finery. She treasured her mountain homes in Provo and at Sundance, respected the craft of good teaching, and cared deeply for sacred things. Irva was preceded in death by Roman, and she longed to join him. All her brothers and sisters were gathered beyond the veil, except for Iris, who spent hours at her side during her last years of disability. One daughter, Aniece (twin, born on 24 Sep 1939, died on 6 Oct 1939), preceded Irva in death. Irva's posterity includes her son Raphael and his wife, MaryAnn (Olson), and family; her son Greg and his wife, Joan (Morrison), and family; her daughter, Aniene Andrus Porter, and family; and her son Alec and his wife, Linda (McDonald), and family. She loved each of her 22 grandchildren and their spouses and each of her 36 great-grand children. Her funeral service was held in Provo on Monday, Oct. 4, 2004. [Provo Daily Herald, Friday, October 01, 2004.] ~ ~ ~ ~ LECTURE RELEASES FLOOD OF MEMORIES, TEACHINGS. By Dennis Smith. Recently, J. Roman Andrus, who retired 20 years ago from the art faculty of Brigham Young University and whose career spanned 32 years, was subject of the Honored Alumni Lecture given by Jim Christensen, a current faculty member. We were both students of Andrus in the 1960s. I'd like to share a bit of Jim's tribute, including excerpts from letters written by several students influenced by Andrus. Reading them brought back many memories.Early in his talk, Christensen mentioned Andrus' fiery shock of red hair, which never thinned and gradually turned white as he got older: ``My first impression . . . was that here was a force to be reckoned with, and also a man who had his hair done by the same hair dresser as David O. McKay; he had to be a pretty powerful character.'' Peter Myer, who took classes from Andrus in the late '50s, recalls an incident that showed his teaching stature: ``I needed to finish one more painting. . . . On the way to class I purchased several cans of enamel paint; I spread some newspapers on the floor . . . [andT as I started dripping and throwing paint from the cans onto the panel, one of the other students asked me what I was doing. . . . Within a few minutes, all nine students in the class had done Jackson Pollock paintings and we were standing around admiring them when J. Roman walked into the classroom. We silently awaited his reaction as he walked around looking at each of the dribbled and spattered compositions. . . . After a long pregnant silence he said something I was totally unprepared for. He said, `I bet I can tell you which student did which painting. . . .' How could he possibly tell who did which? Nonetheless, he calmly went through and matched up seven of the nine paintings with their perpetrators. The two he missed were students who were new to him. Then he carefully went through all the paintings and explained how we had inevitably expressed ourselves in each of the works - not only a great lesson in the inevitability of personal expression but a marvelous witness to the sensitivity of a truly great leader.'' Andrus' humor is infamous. Christensen recalls an incident from a field trip to southern Utah: ``When we came back the first day from painting out in the Buckhorn Wash, I think, Roman showed us around the campfire a couple of beautiful little arrowheads that he had found. He said, `I was out painting today and just found these; and, if you keep your eyes open, you never know what you'll find.' And so the next day, of course, nobody painted, at least for half a day. We all looked around and we found some little chips and pieces of flint that were abundant. We came back, `Is this one? Is this one?' `Naw, that's not one, that's not one.' But Roman had three beautiful arrowheads and he said, `You don't know how to look!' And the third day, nobody did anything, I don't even think we ate lunch. We just all went around with our noses 6 inches from the ground looking for those arrowheads, determined we were going to find one. In the midst of that, somebody went up a little gully and found Roman sitting on a rock with a beer can opener, chipping arrowheads. It was a good lesson to all of us.'' I had never known that in his youth Roman Andrus had been a boxer. Years later, as Richard[0] Gunn[0] informs us, his stamina stood him to good stead when he and his wife, Irva, while on a trip to the Far East, were caught in a hotel fire. ``Roman climbed down three stories using his toes and fingers to cling to the small spaces between the stones - with Irva standing on his shoulders. They were [amongT the few on the third floor to survive the terrible fire that swept the Bangkok hotel, where they were staying.'' Robert Marshall, who served as department chairman for several years, recalls: ``When I think of Roman I am instantly reminded of a self-portrait he did during a sabbatical leave in the middle '60s. He was staring right at you with those penetrating pupils and a mane of unruly hair as theatrical as a character out of the French Revolution. He was formidable - you knew that whatever you did . . . he would expect more. His expectations were uncompromising, but if you earned his respect, you were always welcome at the table to share his wit and wisdom; but most of all his friendship.'' Karen Madden Kline remembered ``a morning after a wonderful snow that dawned bright, crystal-clear blue. . . . The painting room was almost steamy, windows fogged halfway up. . . . He talked about the snow and his remembrance of an ice storm that had turned the trees and phone lines into magic lace patterns and about how that morning he had looked out across a field near his home. He described the wonderful textures of snow on the variety of grasses and shrubs. It was as if he could turn the air into his canvas and let me see what he saw - those talks were his way of sensitizing the class . . . to draw from the inner self before beginning.'' So, as gratitude for all you have given as a teacher and friend, I record this homage, Roman. What you have shared will always be deeply valued. [Deseret News, no date given.]

PROVO — It may not be the tallest building in Provo, but the new Novell Inc. office tower is probably the most wired. Building H has 25 miles of fiber-optic cable, and it is one of the smartest buildings in Provo, too. With 25 miles of fiber-optic cable running throughout the eight floors of Building H, the new tower is one of the "smartest" buildings in the city as well. And at a cost of nearly $90 million, the building might be the most expensive ever built in Provo. "It is as high tech as they come," said Newton Andrus, Novell's director of worldwide facilities. "It is a very smart building." [Deseret News, Thursday, April 13, 2000.] ~ ~ ~ ~ Newt served on the 50th Anniversary Reunion Committee of the Class of 1960 in 2010. @2010 ~ ~ ~ ~ HIS OBITUARY: Newton Warnick Andrus passed away April 22, 2020, at the age of 77 due to congestive heart failure. Newt was a man who loved to see and understand the world, loved his family, and lived the gospel of Jesus Christ. Newt was born July 3, 1942, in Provo, Utah, to Albert LaMar and Erma Warnick Andrus. At the time of his birth, his father was serving in the Army in World War II. Newt grew up in Provo and attended Brigham Young Training School, Maeser and Joaquin Elementary Schools, and Farrer Junior High. He was active in the Boy Scouts, earning his Eagle Scout and Silver Explorer awards. Newt attended Provo High School and graduated from Brigham Young High School in the Class of 1960. He played clarinet in the band, played baseball and football, was a student body officer, and attended Boys State. Following graduation from high school in 1960, Newt enrolled at Brigham Young University. Newt served in the Hawaii Mission for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints from 1961 to 1963. His mission instigated in him a lifelong love of the Hawaiian islands and Polynesian culture. He married Kristine Knudsen, his high-school sweetheart, on June 17, 1964, in the Salt Lake Temple. She graduated from BY High School in the Class of 1962. Newt graduated from BYU in 1967 with a bachelor’s degree in geography. Newt and Kris then moved to North Carolina, where Newt graduated from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill with a Master’s of Regional Planning. During this time, their first child, Samuel, was born. From 1969 to 1978, the family lived in Oregon, where Newt worked as a city and urban planner for the Port of Portland. During their time in Oregon, Newt also served as a bishop, and the rest of their children were born: Scott “Andy,” Amy, and Jonathan. In 1978, the family returned to Provo, where Newt worked with his father-in-law, Wes Knudsen, managing video arcade games, vending machines, and kiddie rides. In 1989, Newt began working at WordPerfect as the purchasing manager and retired in 2003 as Novell’s Vice President of Real Estate and Facilities. Newt served faithfully as a bishop of a family ward and two young single adult wards, a temple worker, a high council member, and a Young Men’s leader. Together Newt and Kris served as employment specialist missionaries in Washington D.C., and as facilitators in the Addiction Recovery Program at BYU. Newt also served a family history service mission and loved doing genealogy. Newt and Kris loved to travel. They took trips all over the world together and enjoyed organizing family trips to Disneyland, Hawaii, the Oregon Coast, Jackson Hole, and Church history sites. Newt loved his family and often expressed his desire that they remain close. He supported them in all their endeavors, taught them correct principles and service through his example, and helped them explore the world. He had a strong and enduring testimony of his Savior, Jesus Christ. He is loved and will be missed. He was preceded in death by his parents, Albert LaMar Andrus and Erma Warnick Andrus, and by his wife, Kristine Knudsen Andrus. He is survived by his brother Joseph (Holly) Andrus; his children Samuel (Amy) Andrus, Scott “Andy” (Christian) Andrus, Amy (Brooks) Snow, and Jonathan; and by his grandchildren Olivia, Isabel, Caleb, Benjamin, Henry, William, Dylan, Phineas, and Seth Andrus, and Kolby, Bryson, and Claire Snow.

She married Dennis P. Blackhurst in July 1960 and went from coed to schoolmarm in a hurry, replacing my own Fourth Grad Teacher, Ida Leichty, at Joaquin Elementary, where many of us first became friends. Law School took us to Tucson, Arizona, where I was secretary to the Pima County Attorney, the first year. (Pregnant women were not allowed in public schools, and I was expecting the first of our five daughters.) Teaching junior high English the next two years got us to graduation, thus ending the first round of my brilliant career. After a move to Phoenix, with Denny in the Maricopa County Attorney’s office as a criminal prosecutor, we moved to Mesa where Denny was a founding partner in the law firm Udall, Shumway, Blackhurst, etc. We hunkered down there for the next four decades, raising our gaggle of girls. That’s – count ‘em – twenty-five years of dance recitals! When our baby went to junior high, I went too. Well, not to her school, but to junior high as an English teacher. I eventually found my niche herding the gifted and talented of Patterson Elementary in Gilbert, Arizona. My community service centered around two women’s organizations which provided funding for Mesa’s Child Crisis Center, Prehab (drugs), Tri-City Mental Health, and lots of scholarships to local community colleges. I also served a decade as publicity director for Mesa Musical Theatre and produced a couple of shows for Mesa Little Theatre. My church service included the usual rotation of auxiliary callings, but I seemed to specialize in Young Women. I directed two stake musicals and wrote and directed far too many road shows. I also did my time, three times, as choir director, or -- dictator, as Denny liked to call me. The highlight of church service was our mission to BYU-Hawaii, 2001-2003, where Denny taught Business Law and Ethics, and I worked for the Vice President in charge of public relations. I enjoyed interviewing international students and editing their conversion stories for use in various films and publications. We are the grandparents of 15 grandchildren. We have served in the New York, New York North Mission. @2010
