Greenfield High School Class of 1968


WELCOME!

The official website of the Alumni;
Class of 1968, Greenfield High School, Greenfield, Wisconsin.

This website is dedicated to a unique group of individuals who were very fortunate to be together at a time and place that nurtured each one to develop a strong sense of pride, dedication, civic duty, service, character and loyalty that may never be achieved again for generations to come! These individuals crossed paths in Greenfield, Wisconsin from the mid-1950s through the mid 1960s and were influenced by several world events and cultures. We were the early Baby-Boomers. We lived during the Cold War, experienced the Kennedy – Nixon debate on TV, the first rocket in space, the first dog in space, the first monkey in space and the first man in space. Howdy Dowdy arrived and left. We experienced the Viet Nam war like no other generation. We experienced the entire span of Rock ‘n Roll and the initial Mickey Mouse Club. We believed in God, and thought everyone else did as well! We valued family, friends, and community. We left our doors unlocked and keys in our cars. We respected our parents, our parents respected us. We paid respect to both our elders and young people.
We respected the flag!
We recited the Pledge of Allegiance to the Flag without question! We prayed at the start of school each day and at sporting events. We believed in mom, apple pie, and baseball. We believed that our country was worthy of our allegiance and prayers – we still do! We have lost many friends, teachers, parents and relatives over the years. Some of those friends were our classmates. I often reflect back on the time between 1958 and 1968. Those thoughts are always fond ones. I consider the friends I made during those years as friends still today. And, I know that each of you feel’s the same. When we do see one another, it is as if no time has passed and we just seem to pick up where we left off years ago. That is something very few people ever experience – so I say to you, appreciate those years of growing up. Appreciate the friendships, the time shared, and the times we will be together again. Thanks to each of you for the impact you’ve had upon my life.

What better way to end but with our School pledge:

As we go along life’s highways,
We will all be true.
Heart and mind we pledge to thee always,
Memories fond of you.
Hail all hail our Alma Mater,
Hold your banners high.
Green and Gold, we’ll love you always,
Hawks keep flying high
