Brigham Young High School Class of 1925.

We had gathered a rather incomplete list of Class of 1925 high school graduates from several sources, including yearbook entries in the 1925 BYU Banyan, and a handful of individual entries in the annual records in the BYU Records Office, with research done by Scott Cowley. Then in November of 2008 Joan Crowther Hamilton, BYH Class of 1957, sent us a copy of the Closing Exercises Program of the BYH academic portion of the Class of 1925, with 26 names! This class list includes the name of her father, Ray Eldon Crowther, who graduated that year. As a result, our BYH Class of 1925 list currently contains 54 names. One included with a question mark and explanation is Elton Andrew Hartley. This list is now significantly more complete. [November 18, 2008]

BYH Class of 1925? Horace Rafael Crandall. ~ ~ ~ ~ HIS OBITUARY: Horace Rafael Crandall, 87, died July 3, 1994 at his home in Salt Lake City, Utah. Born June 5, 1907 in Springville, Utah to Rafael Fuller Crandall and Eliza Hart Crandall. He lived in Orem, Utah with his parents on their large fruit farm until he was seven and then moved with them to Provo, Utah to attend school. Horace worked on the farm each summer. He attended Provo grade schools and B.Y.U. for his high school and college days. He played in the B.Y.U. band and orchestra and graduated from B.Y.U. in 1930 with a degree in business and a minor in music. It was at B.Y.U. that he met Sigrid NeVille and they were married August 20, 1930 in the Salt Lake Temple. They lived in Provo. Horace was an active member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and held many positions of responsibility in his ward. He was called as counselor to the bishop in the Emigration Ward. He was called as financial clerk to four different bishops and served for 16 years as financial clerk to three stake presidents. Horace and Sigrid worked in the Salt Lake Temple for six years. Horace worked for Columbia Steel where he managed Carbon County Railroad in Columbia, Utah. When Geneva Steel was built, Carbon County Railroad furnished all the coal for their blast furnaces. Horace was transferred to Salt Lake City and became auditor and purchasing agent for Carbon County Railroad. Horace played the saxophone, clarinet, and piano and spent many years playing in dance bands and found great joy in this association. He loved his job, his church, and the work of the Lord. Horace said many times, ``I've had a good life.'' He is survived by his wife Sigrid of Salt Lake; a brother, Hart B. Crandall (Bette) of Hurricane; a daughter, Barbra Ann Crandall Tebbs (Clement) of Bountiful; a son, Daniel Jennings Crandall (Laurie) of Salt Lake; seven grandchildren and 11 great-grandchildren.

[Deseret News, July 6, 1994] [Note: At this time, the only evidence we have that Mr. Crandall graduated from B.Y.H.S. is this obituary. @ 2014] ~ ~ ~ ~ BYU Banyan Yearbook, Freshman Class, Horace Crandall. ~ ~ ~ ~ HIS WIFE'S OBITUARY: Sigrid NeVille was born in Byron, Big Horn, Wyoming on October 15, 1911 to Leo Jennings NeVille and Carrie Hatch NeVille. She passed away March 23, 2005 in Centerville, Utah. She graduated from Byron High School and attended Brigham Young University where she majored in Elementary Education. There she met Horace Rafael Crandall and they were married August 20, 1930 in the Salt Lake LDS Temple. For 13 years they lived in Provo, Utah where three of their children were born, Dean, Barbra and Rafael. Horace and she were both active in the Manavoo Ward and enjoyed continued association with BYU. In 1942 Horace's work was transferred to Salt Lake City. They bought a small home on Lowell Avenue. Sigrid set up a beauty shop in the basement where she worked for many years while raising their family. They were active in the Emigration Ward working in many ward and stake positions. In 1947 the family moved to Logan Avenue, setting up her shop again. In 1952 their last son Daniel was born. Sigrid served in many callings in MIA, Primary, Sunday School, and Relief Society in the Monument Park 8th Ward. She worked for many years in the Spanish extraction program. She also volunteered for service with the blind children through Primary Children's Hospital. She and Horace served seven treasured years in the Salt Lake Temple. Her artistic talents included ceramics, oil and water color painting, quilting, and needlepoint. One of her greatest joys was working in the vegetable garden and her glorious flower gardens. She is survived by two children, Barbra (Clement) Tebbs and Dan Crandall; eight grandchildren; and 16 great-randchildren. Also, one brother Edwin NeVille and wife Jeri; brother-in-law and wife Hart and Bette Crandall; brother-in-law Ezra Tippetts; and sister-in-law Sylvia NeVille. Preceded in death by husband Horace R.
