Vintage, Class of '79 Photos

If you have any great old photos from back in the day, please email them to bryan@bryanchapman.com and I'll paste them here. Please write a caption to include with the photos.

The infamous "Tassel" incident of 1979.  Margaret MacCabe getting her diploma, while Andy Madsen makes his grand entrance. Caught on film!

Question: Do you think the two people handing out diplomas called each other and said, "Hey, let's wear the same suit!"

Another photographic rememberance of Andy Madsen's gravity defying tassel (Margaret McCabe in front, Eric Magelby next in line)

Graduation Day.  If you look real close (and squint), you will see that about ten of us lifted one foot in the air at the moment the picture was taken.

Better look at how the sheets were sewn together.  Kelly Brereton (Devri's sister) and ???

Sewing the T.  Brad Morley is "supervising" on the left. Notice how he is in the same place on the next photo.

Preparing to land the "T" - nice view of Timp in the back ground (Photo taken by Bryan Chapman)

Rolling out the "T" with very planned execution. Many of you never saw the T from this angle. We literally had to take it up and over trees, rocks and bushes (and the thing was very heavy - not as easy as it looks). (Photo taken by Bryan Chapman) 

 Close up of rolling out the "T" - class members Steve Strong, Scott Hymas, Sam Fletcher. (Photo taken by Bryan Chapman) 

 That was one steep slope. Hard to tell how steep it was from ground level. (Photo taken by Bryan Chapman) 

 "T" on the mountain. It was said to be 1/3 larger than BYU's "Y".  I believe it!  What a fun project. (Photo taken by Nathan Anderson)

 The famous "T" that taught us all to work together.

Don't ask. You just had to be there. We all met very late one night after working on the "T" and....well, we hung spoons on our noses:  Shauna Metcalf, Keith Bradshaw, and Bryan Chapman.
