Biographical/Historical note

Hyrum Johnson, a native of Utah Valley, taught industrial arts classes in Spanish Fork and Pleasant Grove before becoming the first "director" of the institution. He was a highly respected craftsman and teacher. His enthusiasm and dedication to vocational education and his "never-say-die" attitude were instrumental in getting the Central Utah Vocational School started. However, the pressures and problems that occurred during the war production training years were a great burden to Hyrum and this caused his health to deteriorate. He went on paid leave in 1944. In his place, Lorenzo E. Peterson served for a short while as the Acting Director but he, too, left the school, leaving Wilson Sorensen, the treasurer and purchasing agent, to take over in his place. Johnson served as president of the Central Utah Vocational School from 1941 to 1946.
