T E 5eni DR Dr55 □ F GerrIcJ i pe H igF 5c Faal GeRRldtne , fianTRnR PrebepTs Thi5 l bl 5rFrri VO| urn E X7T For more than a quarter of a century, Geraldine High School has stood as a center of learning in our community. Hundreds of students have gone out from this school to take their places in colleges, vocations and jobs. The records of achievements which they have left behind and the measures of success which have come to them, indicate that Geraldine High School was and is an institution of leamingof which any community might be proud to call its own. Yes, Geraldine High School stands as a monument to education. Figur- atively speaking, we may say that its protecting walls have been a shield against the ill winds of illiteracy; its doors have opened the way to learning; its roof has withstood the storms of intolerance. Within its walls, its warmth has served as a friendly hearth, radiating trust and friendship among students and teachers. And so - in appreciation to all who have helped to maintain Geraldine High School - To the administration which sponsored our education - To every teacher who has taught in the class rooms - To the principal who has guided us - To all other school personnel - To the parents and patrons who have inspired us - To this community which has supported us - To every wholesome and uplifting influence which has helped to make Geraldine High School what it has been and is-we, the editors of the Safari, dedicate this space, in this, the 1961 edition of our annual. AND SO TO THESE • • • TO EVERY STUDENT WHO HAS PLAYED THE GAME 4 OR STUDIED IN THE LIBRARY . . . WHO HAS OR ATTENDED GERALDINE HIGH SCHOOL THIS THE 1961 SAFARI IS DEDICATED.

To our fellow students, friends and teachers we leave mem- ories of how to always serve as good examples. CLASS PROPHECY The Class of 1961 met In 1981 for their reunion at Karl Apple’s mansion north of Geraldine. We all had a very enjoyable time swimming in Karl's pool and renewing old memories of our school days in good old G.H.S. It was also very interesting to find out what everyone is doing now. Karl is still chasing girls, but not in the same way that he did before, he and his wife have six of their own so they keep Karl pretty busy. Rita Graham came to the reunion all the way from South Africa where she boasts of being the only English Teacher in her area. She says that the heat bothers her quite a bit but she has the head hunters buffaloed.” Rita plans to go to Alaska and teach the Eskimoes next. Ray Wishman drove in from his farm east of Geraldine in his jeep. Ray holds down two jobs these days, during the summer months he is a farmer and during the winter he is head smoker in a cigar factory, he tests the cigars for the right flavor. As you might well guess, Ray enjoys his work very much. Bill Breuer came to the reunion in one of his seven Cadillacs. He now owns the largest cattle ranch in the Northwest. Bill makes his home in the Missouri River Breaks where he can both water ski and keep up on his bronc riding. Larry Anderson now owns a string of dude ranches throughout the Western states. Larry is quite rich so he rodeos only when he wants a bit of excitement, which is usually everytime there is a rodeo. Nancy Knedler was allowed only two days off from her job as head bookkeeper for the General Motors Company, they didn’t want her to get too far behind. Nancy has perfected her own method of making bookkeeping easy. Dean Martinez, with his Fabulous Five, had just successfully defended their conference title. Dean has been elected Coach of the Year for the past three years. Faye Klay is playing a dual role of being a wife and mother and running the biggest IBM machine the government has to date. Faye enjoys her work, she says it is very relaxing after home life with her four boys. Ken Smith was unable to be with us as his tour of duty with the United States Navy had called him to an outer space planet for two months. Donna Bishop and her husband have moved further into the mountains where Donna spends most of her time raising their ten mountain men. They came to the reunion on mountain goat back as horses cannot travel where they live. John Bishop, Jr. hasn't changed much since we last saw him. John has taken over the elevator in Square Butte and has enlarged it to such an extent that he is about to retire and live comfortably off his earnings for the rest of his life. Much is to be said for Les Sullivan. He started twenty years ago with a pair of sheep and now has the largest band of sheep in Montana. Les is now working on an experiment of raising sheep with colored wool. Our sponsor, Mr. Harlow, attended the reunion with his family. His boys have all grown taller then he, even Jeff, who, as we remembered him, was pretty short. Coach is now retired and spends most of his time fishing. SPONSOR - Mr. Grover C.
