CLASS HISTORY NOBEL PRIZE IN LITERATURE ANNOUNCED! The eycatching headline aroused my curiosity and I read on. The Nobel Prize has been awarded to the History of the Class of 1960 of the Jeffers High School. Being a graduate of that very class, I excitedly jumped from my chair and made a beeline for my CHRONOSCOPE. Feeling as though all my fingers were thumbs, I finally managed to find the right page. There it was! Our prize-winning Class History. On a typical September afternoon, a group of 53 eager, nervous, and inexperienced Freshmen entered high school. It took us some time, but we finally got used to the rou- tine. Class officers for the year were: President Gloria Barkkari, Vice President Anton Datto, Secretary Irene Kangas, Treasurer Karen Shebuski. Mr. Rajala was our class advisor. On September 21, we were initiated by the Sophomores and became full-fledg- ed Freshmen. Our money making project for the year was the sale of candy at basket- ball games. Not all the 53 students answered the call as we began our Sophomore year. Only 50 of us had returned. The executive department for the year was headed by President Gloria Barkkari with Vice President Tom Geborkoff, Secretary Irene Kangas and Treas- urer Loralee Barkkari as her aidesg Mr. Kolehmainen was our advisor for the year. One of the first pleasures of the year was the initiation of the Freshmen. The main project for the year was the selling of All-Occasion cards. We were honored to have several members of our class initiated as probationary members of the Jeffers Chapter of the National Honor Society. Our Junior year saw 40 of us decorating the gymnasium for the eagerly awaited event, the Junior Prom. The Music Masters beautifully portrayed our theme, Blue Hawaii. To further our funds, we sold pennants and had bake sales. Our class was ably led by President Marilyn Keranen, Vice President Marjorie Ylitalo, Secretary Irene Kangas, and Treasurer Grace Sipola. Mr. Kolehmainen again was our advisor. At last we achieved that ultimate goal, the time honored and respected position of Seniors. The class was seething with all the activities confronting it. The leaders elect- ed to guide us through them were: President Marilyn Keranen, Vice President Milton Polso, Secretary Marjorie Ylitalo, and Treasurer Irene Kangas. Mr. Davis and Mrs. Hor- ton ably advised us on all matters. One senior girl helped to cheer our basketball squad on to victory. Two of our Senior boys were on the squad. Several members of our class sang in the chorus and played in the band. Five ambitious members took part in the school play For Pop's Sake. I closed the book with a feeling of satisfaction and carefully returned it to its place.
