Hello, Mary.

LyX knows nothing about .cls files really. The classes found in 
Layout | Document | Class are defined by the .layout files to be found 
in ${PREFIX}/share/lyx/layouts. Usually, you can get a long way with 
a sffms.layout file that contains little more than an instruction to 
input either article.layout or book.layout. 

See, eg, extarticle.layout, below
