It is now the year of eighty-four, As we see our Seniors come through the door. Twenty years have past since that rememberable day, When they said, ’’Good-bye CHS, we’re now on our way.” Coming in — opps! — she tripped on her feet. It’s nobody else but our own Susan Sweet. She now lives in Los Angeles and spends every day, Teaching Physics at U.C.L.A. Here comes Bonnie Freeland we want you to know, She's on every morning with her own TV show. She’s made millions of fans happy by loosing their pounds. And for added exercise, she chases Grey-Houndo. A wine-colored Mercury just pulled up outside, And in strolls Dick Evers and his young, lovely bride. Dick, as usual, looks rather foggy, And looks amazingly like his Dad, Augie. Now at the door we see quite a jewel, As she comes closer, we see it's Joyce Heule. Joyce, who never did have too much to say, Is now an announcer on K.O.M.A. With popped eyeballs and disjointed lids, We see Judy enter with 10 Brown kids. Yes, she’s now known as Mrs. Robert Brown, And they live on a farm just north of town. Ron Kohl, who was always great in track, Just ran in with 3 girls on his back. He’s still single and still quite a sport, He’d have to be - with 20 dames in each port. Why here is Mary Kluck, the hard working tycoon, Who's now the editor of the Clarks Tribune. She has many subscribers all over the land, And she also edits the Silver Creek Sand. Remember Linda Church, the merry ole soul? After graduation she became Mrs. Kohl. She married Jerry - for better or for worse, And in her spare time, she’s a registered nurse. And in strolls Roger Booth to show, He's made his fame by becoming pro. He plays football for the Green-Bay Packers, And makes extra money by selling Ritz crackers. And who's this dame with her face so bright? It's our own Glenda Colbert, who's ready to fight. She’s become a professional wrestler you see, And can be seen Thursday nights on Channel 5 TV. Here comes somebody that everyone knows, It’s Glenda’s manager, Jennie Rose. As a team they do quite well, They make lots of money, so we hear tell.

S e n i or C Ia 5 J History While looking in our scrapbook of memories we come upon the year 1952, when in September, 12 anxious students began their school career as kindergarteners. These twelve beginners, under the direction of Mrs. Anderson were; Linda Church, Maureen Kluck, Mary Kluck, Tommy George Morgan, Susan Sweet, Larry Didier, Jennie Rose Pierce, Glenda Colbert, Curtis Fleeman, Rodger Booth, Dick Dittmer, and Lois Branting. All of these are remaining in the graduating class except Dick Dittmer, Curtis Fleeman, and Maureen Kluck. In our first grade Mrs. McLean was our teacher. Here we gained Danny Roumpf and Dianna Bowers. Mrs. McLean was also our teacher in our second grade. Here we lost Curtis Fleeman and gained Marcia Mustard, Patty Govlik and Mildred Van Meter. Our class now numbered 16. In the third grade we were again very happy to have Mrs. Anderson as our teacher. During this year we lost Mildred Van Meter, who moved to St. Edward, and Patty Govlik, who moved to Hordville. The year was highlighted by the successful operetta The Pied Piper. We journeyed still farther into the fourth grade. Here again we had Mrs. Anderson as our teacher. Once again, Curtis Fleeman joined our class, along with Bonnie Freeland. Passing out of the doors of our fourth grade, we were sorry to lose Dick Dittmer. In the year 1957, we were now fifth graders. Mrs. Sloan was our teacher in this class. Jackie Herman and Phyllis Zelasney joined us from District 55. Climbing still higher, we entered the sixth grade with Mrs. Glasser as our teacher. Nineteen students, seven boys and twelve girls, entered our room the first day of school. Joyce Heule, Judy Zoucha, Ronald Kohl, and Jim Ksiazek, who were pupils of District 11, were quickly made welcome by the class during this year. We also gained Pat Kennedy. In our seventh grade, Danny Roumpf moved to Grand Island during February, Phyllis Zelasney moved to a farm south of Havens and Joyce Heule to District 33. We were sorry to lose these pupils. Mrs. Craig was our teacher. In our last year of grade school, Mr. Kirkpatrick took on the job of instructing us and trying to make high school students out of us. In the middle of the year we were joined by Rhonda Jackson. Our graduating class consisted of 20 students. This year was highlighted by the class trip to Lincoln where we toured the Coca-Cola Bottling Co., the State Capitol, and various museums. In the fall of '60, 28 of us became high school students. Among the 28 were 8 new members. They were Anne Grafe, Ron Church, Robert Dush, Dick Evers, Howard Fairbairn, Maxine Hannappel, JoAnn Stopak and Phyllis Zelasney. We chose for our class colors light blue and silver, our class flower white rose, and our motto Pleasure Comes Through Toil. In our Sophomore year we lost Anne Grafe, Norma Lovelace, Curtis Fleeman and Ron Church. This made our class number 24. In the Junior year we witnessed the excitement of putting on the Junior-Senior Ban- quet. We chose for our theme Oriental Gardens, which was enjoyed by everyone. We put on a successful class play entitled Custer’s Last Stand. We received our class rings around Thanksgiving from the Herf Jones Company. In our closing year at CHS we were 23 strong, having lost Robert Dush. In the be- ginning of the year we took our senior class pictures at Lumbard =Lechinsky in Grand Island. We presented the Christmas play, The Trees. We ordered our announcements from Herf Jones Company. On April 17th, we went on a week-end tour of the city of Chicago. Then on May 15th, we produced our final class play, The Curious Savage, which was a rousing success. On May 25th, 23 Seniors received their diplomas at the Commencement Exercises, and paid final tribute to CHS. 13

Who’s this gent who is staggering in? Why it's Jim Ksiazek with his homemade gin. He spends most of his time planning maneuvers, On just how to outwit shifty Revenuers. The sirens are heard blowing and all of the sort, She thought she’d drop in before going to court. Who could own such a loud X-KE? It’s nobody else but Pat Kennedy. Glancing at the door - why take a look, It’s JoAnn Stopak, the famous cook. She loves to cook outside on the grill, And for refreshments - there’s always her ’’still.” Who’s that chick at the door we see? It’s the graceful ballet dancer, Phyllis Zelasney. Her hobbies are surfing and flying kites. She looks real shapely in those size 8 tights. Coming in next - why who could this be? It’s Howard Fairbairn, the local M.D. He’s delivered more babies than Carters have pills, And he is also noted for curing all ills. Who’s that over there, the one in the sheath? Why it’s Lois Branting and her boy friend, Keith. Yes, they’ve been going steady all this while. And Come next Christmas,” says Lois, it's down that aisle. Who was that, who just walked by? That's Jackie Herman, the government spy. She’s very well traveled and knows many great names, To settle down and get married are her two biggest aims. Larry Didier, known for his blond wavey hair, Just pranced in to find his chair. He now owns a chain of Conoco stations, And his name is well-known in 9 different nations. Maxine Hannappel, always known to be small, Has invented a pill to make people tall. She’s become very rich, as most inventors do, There's only one problem, she’s now 6 foot 2. The sound of squealing brakes is heard, As Ron Quinn arrives in his Thunderbird. He now comes in with his face all aglow, He does TV commercials for Haley’s M.O. Marcia Mustard walks in and finds a place, She's now a waitress - just like Grace. She's really quite good, so they say, And holds employment at the Nite Day. Why here comes Tom Morgan to make the scene, He’s all dressed up but his head is shaved clean. I guess you've got it without even guess'in, He’s made Army life his profession.
