1960 UINTAHN — VERNAL, UTAH HIGH SCHOOL YEARBOOK for JERRY SMITH
Original 1960 Uintahn yearbook from Vernal, Utah.
This vintage yearbook is a wonderful piece of Utah and Uintah Basin history, containing photographs of students, faculty, school organizations, activities, and local businesses that served the Vernal community in 1960.
Yearbooks are particularly valuable pieces of family history because they preserve people as they were at a specific moment in their lives—their photographs, classmates, activities, organizations, and community.
