The following list records the twenty-six Brethren who were initiated into Lodge St Olaf during the decade of the 1960s. Unlike previous decades, no affiliates joined the Lodge during this period, and all new members entered the Craft through initiation within the Lodge itself.

The 1960s were years of considerable social and cultural change, both nationally and within local communities. Despite these wider shifts, Lodge St Olaf continued to attract men who were drawn to the principles and traditions of Freemasonry. Those initiated during these years formed a smaller but nonetheless important group whose membership helped maintain the continuity and working life of the Lodge.

The names that follow therefore represent the Brethren who chose to begin their Masonic journey within Lodge St Olaf during this distinctive decade in its history.

Below are the names of the 26 New members from 1960 to 1969.
