79 While on my vacation last year, the first in yearsg I, Geraldine Reno, was zooming through a little town in Montana and happened to run over a man who was chasing a pretty teacher. As soon as I had screeched to a stop I heard a siren in the distance. Looking around I found Robert Krieg, new marshall of Terry, helping the poor man to his feet. To my surprise and amazement the man happened to be Mr. William Mosbrucker, former class sponsor of the class of 1957, up to his old tricks again. Wi1ly happened to be uninjured and we soon fell to discussing our former days together. He then took me on a tour of Prairie County, and much to my amazement I found all of my classmates not so peaceful, but very prosperous. First I spied Marvin Dufloth, on a farm, crawling out from under a chicken brooder: he had always wanted to be a mechanic. He told me to go down the road a piece where I would find a shiny new school house with two of my classmates in attendance. Guess who? It was none other than Carol Schmidt, superintendent, and Jeanine Buckingham, history teacher. In addition to the new school there was an added attraction, an infirmary in which I found Lucille Fluss and Irene Dukart, now-fledged RNs, wiping noses and giving shots to their poor unsuspecting victims. At a farm thirty miles down the road I found Vernon Kaul, God's gift to women?, surrounded by them. You can say that again: he is the proud father of seven daughters. I was running low on gas and decided to re- turn to town. I cruised into the Conoco and there I found Charles Monaghan sitting on the hydraulic lift dangling his feet and giving orders. He was very surprised to see me and told me where I could find some more of my chums. I trotted over to the Super Valu where I spied Almeda Gaub working as checkout girl. She had advanced from the vegatable department and was enjoying it immensely. I then strolled half a block to the Reynolds store and inquired as to where my friend Marian Kuehn hung out. I was astounded to find she was a social worker in Africa, instead of working in the grocery de- partment. Saturday night I burned up the road to the Larry Ban Ranch, 15 miles west of town and was just in time to catch him and his family leaving for a basketball game at the Terry High School. I jumped in with them and we were off, careening down the road at 90 per. We arrived safely at the school, where Duane Morast was coaching the Terry Underdogs. On the team I recognized two playersg Har- old Wahl, waterboy, and Willard Carter, center. The game was a thriller-diller, with Willard making 49 points. Leading the cheers for the Terry team was Annabelle Rittal fTennantj ably assisted by a small cheering section made up of little boys that looked exactly like Fritz, her husband. Every now and then you could hear her melodious gigle floating out over the crowd. That night after the game I went directly to bed. I awoke next morning as the sun came over the hill and attended church. I was sitting in the first pew and noticed that the pastor looked vaguely familiar. It turned out to be Donald Hohensee, the new pastor of the EUB church. While visiting after churchl ran across Albert Gaub and found him to be the biggest sugar-beet raiser in Montana. Peeking around the corner I caught a glimpse of Karen Ulrich, a famous movie starlet, who was on a personal appearance tour at the local theatre. On my way home from church, I tried racing with a diesel engine. The engineer waved and tooted the whistle and I did a double-take. After the second look I knew it was Jack Trask. My vacation was drawing to a close and I had to be back at the Air Force base to teach aeronautics to a bunch of new recruits. And as I had seen all of my classmates or heard about themlknew my va- cation had been a worthwhile one. I 12
