Geronimo High School Geronimo, Oklahoma Dedication To Mr. Lorah who has been an inspiration because of his quiet capability, dependability, and interest in all of us, we proudly dedicate this annual. Administration Congratulations! Your achievements of the last four years are partially pictured in this book; both the book and your accomplishments are of your own making. Our wish is that each of you may go on to the success which you have set as your goal, and enjoy happiness as your life unfolds. May your life be as happy and successful as your school days have been, and may these school-day memories serve to keep your la- bors directed firmly toward your goals. fajluv You are to be congratulated on the excel- lent work you have done in preparing this years annual. It has taken many hours of ex- tra work, but there have been no complaints on the part of the students. This certainly indicates the high caliber of you students and shows that you have developed traits of lead- ership and perseverance. In the years to come this annual will be one of the few things you possess that will increase in value. These small things that seem unimportant now will be the most cher- ished memories of your youth as you grow older. BESSIE SANMANN B.A., O.C.W.
