SDHS Scholarship
From Class of 1960
Honors IRMA RISTY (1918-2005)
One of the most frequently-mentioned teachers at our 50th Reunion was Irma Risty. Mrs. Risty taught math at San Diego High School from 1955 to 1960. She was an engineer at Consolidated Aircraft during WWII. After the war, she joined the San Diego City Schools and taught mathematics at Kearney, San Diego, and Point Loma high schools, where she coached a long run of champion math teams.
Irma Risty is remembered as an excellent teacher, whose effective instruction enabled her students to develop reasoning skills that have benefited them throughout their lives. In honor of this remarkable teacher, an Irma Risty Scholarship has been established by several classmates as a gift from the San Diego High School Class of 1960. This $2000 annual award will go to an SDHS senior planning to pursue a career in mathematics or engineering at a 4-year college or university.
Through the generosity of an anonymous donor, any additional contributions to this scholarship fund will be matched. Checks should be made out to "San Diego High School Foundation, Inc." with "Irma Risty Scholarship Fund" written on the memo line and mailed to :
Daryl Ferguson, Scholarship Chair
San Diego High School Foundation, Inc.

Addendums/Revisions To Class of 1960 Directory
Our first addendum comes form Chuck Lauby. He suggested we use his Facebook posting as follows:
Basic Information
| About Chuck | Doreen and I met at Bible college 45 years ago, have raised 2 daughters and a son, enjoying 7 grandchildren, 3 granddaughters, 4 grandsons and 1 more onthe way in May. We have owned our own store for 38 years since 1974, a small independent office supply, office furniture store. We belong to the nations largest buyig group, giving us the opportunity to be extremely competitive. My son, part owner works in the store as designer/installer, my son-in-laws are engineers, one for Boeing 787, the other for Honeywell. We enjoy going to our beach house on some weekends on beautiful Whidbey Island since 1981. My career was sharing in church ministry for 18 years on completing college. Owning a store has been very rewarding as well, knowing that God, according to Proverbs 3:5&6, will direct your ways and paths if you only trust in Him and His Son as your savior. |

Post 50th Reunion Update
Just a quick update about post-reunion developments. First, you no doubt have received the letter from Richard Raines of Raines Video Productions. His video which consists of photos and interviews with reunion-goers at the Saturday night gala at the Bahia is available for purchase DIRECTLY FROM RAINES VIDEO.
The class video that Sonny Morper is compiling is under construction! It's a big task, thanks to all of you who sent Sonny photos from the reunion events. That video will be sent after the holidays to you who attended either the Friday night reception at the Bahia or the Saturday dinner-dance; you have paid for it with your payment for those two events.
If you attended only the picnic, and you want a class directory and/or a DVD, you can send a check to me (5009 Randlett Drive, La Mesa, CA 91942) for $10 for EACH item to cover production and mailing costs. We will mail everything shortly AFTER Christmas.
Sonny will keep the class web site updated as long as we are interested in having it: http://www.sdhs1960.org/. It will be the best source of current information about all things relating to our class of 1960. PLEASE send additions/corrections to the class directory to Sonny at Sonny@Morper.net so he can post corrections on the web site, and to Susan Harris Glanz (who is maintaining the mailing lists): 7oakssue@sbcglobal.net. He will only post contact updates when requested to do so.
Happy holidays to all of you. Stay in touch!
Cheers,
Carol Ortman Perkins
