Mystery Picture 091102

"Howard, Ila, Terry" is caption on this picture. But where and when was it taken?


Bonus question -- What is the name of the mountain in the background?

UPDATE

I look at this post some more and include a more detailed image of the unnamed boy in Mystery Picture 091102 - Revisited.

Ellen provides some great background information from Grandma's book.
From "All You Immigrants" (Grandma Stutz's history) she writes: "Billy Heck was the name of our first home. It was a trailer house under an apple tree on 2nd North, 2nd West in Provo. It belonged to Ira and Eva Terry. Ira and Eva had more or less adopted Howard during his years at BYU and were almost like second parents to him. He had lived in the trailer house during his junior year." I don't think that this is a picture of "Billy Heck," but it is definately Provo and they are having a heck of a lot of fun.
Thanks, Ellen! This helps understand both this picture and the first portrait in Mystery Picture 091109. I am presuming that Ila = Ira due to poor reading on my part of the names on the pictures. Hopefully, GAP will incorporate more of Grandma's writings in the future. Does anyone want to help with this?

Ellen also writes, "Oh, and the bonus question - the name of the mountain in the background is unofficially 'y-Mount.' Is there another name?" AFAIK, Y Mountain is its name. Great job!
