Text from Pages 1 - 118 of the 1949 volume:

Ckesi er Higk Sck ool CWESTER, MONTANA % another year has gone by and with the pass- ing OF IJ WE HAVE GAINED MANY PLEASANT MEMORIES, WE of the Annual Staff have tried to put a few OF THOSE MEMORIES INTO A BOOK FOR YOU TO KEEP, WE HOPE YOU ENJOY THEM, To usf the Annual has represented a lot of WORK, BUT WORK FOR SOMETHING WORTHWHILE, TO YOU WHETHER YOUR RE A GREEN FRESHIE OR A WORLDLY A- LUMNUS, THIS ANNUAL SHOULD REPRESENT A SORT OF MONUMENT TO OUR SCHOOL, But work or not, we seniors have enjoyed PUTTING THIS BOOK TOGETHER. OUR DEEP APPRECIA- TION AND THANKS GO TO MlSS KOENIG, THE STUDENTS OF C. H. S., AND THE ADVERT I SERS FOR MAKING THIS Annual possible. o o AS USUAL, IN ANY LARGE GROUP OF PERSONS WORKING TO- GETHER, THERE IS ALWAYS ONE POOR SOUL WHO DOES ALL THE PUSHING AND PULLING. THIS HAS BEEN TRUE OF OUR ANNUAL STAFF . WE WOULD LIKE TO GIVE CREDIT WHERE CREDIT IS DUE, AND CERTAINLY OUR SUPERVISOR DESERVES A VERY LARGE PART OF THE CREDIT FOR THIS ANNUAL. Even more important than the Annual, however, is the time Miss Koenig has spent pounding the difference BETWEEN DEBIT AND CREDIT AND THE ELEMENTS OF TYPING INTO DOZENS OF SQUARE LITTLE HEADS. MANY OF THESE FORMER STU- DENTS ARE NOW OUT IN THE BUSINESS WORLD USING THAT KNOW- LEDGE . And so, as a partial repayment for the time and effort Miss Koenig has spent on us, we dedicate this Annual to her. OUR SCHOOL My sincerest congratulations to Miss Koenig and the class of 1949 for your successful publi- cation of the Coyote. My appreciation is espe- cially expressed for the business like manner in which the annual has been edited and financed. Your efforts can result in even bigger accomplish- ments by classes of the future. It is my hope that many of you will continue your formal education and that you have formulated some definite plan for your future. May good for- tune and happiness go with you as you leave our school to find your place in the world. EVELYN KEMMERLE, B. S.

High Pressure Homer . r f m CLASS HISTORY In THE fall OF 1945, EIGHTEEN GREEN LITTLE FRESHIES ENTERED good old Chester High School to begin four wonderful years of work. The first few days we had an awful time. There were so many ROOMS, AND IT SEEMED LIKE WE WERE ALWAYS WINDING UP IN ONE OF THE SENIOR CLASSES, Our first big event was the ancient custom of initiation. The DRESS FOR THE DAY WAS LONG WHITE UNDERWEAR FOR THE GIRLS AND WOMEN’S CLOTHES FOR THE BOYS. AFTER THAT HUMILIATING DAY WE FELT LIKE WE BELONGED TO C. H. S. In our sophomore year, we found we had one more student— Penny Johnson, who came from North Dakota. Although we gained one MORE STUDENT, WE LOST TWO OTHERS, CARL EVANS AND RITA LAIRD. RITA HAD GONE TO SCHOOL IN GREAT FALLS. We felt our Junior year was more eventful than the two prev- ious years. Our dramatic ability popped up and we presented a com- edy, Boys About Bobbette , which was directed by Mr. fjalstad. An- other EXCITING OCCASION WAS THE RECEIVING OF OUR CLASS RINGS IN February, 1948. Then came the fun—hours and hours of making tulips AND STRINGING STREAMERS FOR THE JUN I 0R-SEN I 0R PROM, WHICH WAS A GREAT SUCCESS, IT WAS REALLY A MOST UNFORGETTABLE YEAR. IN THE FALL OF ’48, WE RETURNED as MIGHTY SENIORS TO CHS, BUT FOUND WE WERE ONLY 15 INSTEAD OF 17 AS TWO MORE MEMBERS, ROBERTA hader and Howard Kolstad had decided to take other trails. Our senior year was packed full of exciting events such as our senior play Mountain house Mystery , which was under the direc- tion of Mr. Kaufman, ordering announcements, senior pictures, sneak DAY, AND THE MOST IMPORTANT OF ALL-BACCALAUREATE AND GRADUATION. NOW THAT WE ARE ACTUALLY LEAVING, WE FEEL A SORT OF PAIN AND REGRET THAT WE SHALL NOT TREAD THE HALLS OF CHS ANY MORE; BUT LIFT- ING OUR HEADS, WE TURN AND FACE THE FUTURE AND HOPE TO BE SUCCESS- FUL MEN AND WOMEN OF THE WORLD, PROPHECY MARY STIPP IS A PERSONAL SECRETARY TO THE PRESIDENT OF THE SURE- FIT FALSE TEETH MFG. CO. SIZES 10 TO 20. LOIS STAUDACHER IS NOW a GREAT SURGEON IN AFRICA. SHE IS PIERCING EARS AND NOSES FOR THE NATIVES, ROBERT MAHER WENT HUNTING RABBITS ONE DAY. WELL, ‘YOU KNOW ROBERT’S MIND WANDERED, AND THE NEXT WE HEARD OF HIM HE WAS IN AFRICA HUNT- ING TIGERS. (WITH HIS .22) ALICE BROWN, who always planned on following in her mother’s foot- steps and BECOME a TEACHER, EVIDENTLY GAVE UP THE IDEA BECAUSE SHE NOW HAS LITTLE FOOTSTEPS FOLLOWING HER AROUND. (SEIDLITZ S OF COURSE.) EVELYN FORSETH, OUR CLASS ARTIST, KEPT UP HER PAINTING AND TODAY MANY OF HER PRODUCTIONS CAN BE SEEN IN THE HALL OF SHAME. MICKEY SMITH HAS BECOME ONE OF THE BIGGEST MOVIE PRODUCERS EVER. HE HAS ALREADY HAD TWELVE WIVES AND IS NOW BEING SEEN WITH SHARON Moffett and Margaret O’Brien. LOUISE JOHNSON, .WHO always wanted to become a fashion designer, is NOW DESIGNING MENS UNDERWEAR. (SHE DESIGNS AND SPACES THE BUTTONS) HAZEL ZANDA AND JUNE MUNCY USED THEIR MATHEMATICAL FIGURES TO GET SOME VERY GOOD BOOKKEEPING JOBS; LATER THEY USED THEIR OWN FI- GURES TO GET A MAN. ALLEN BROWN is now working for Mickey smith as his chauffeur and ALL-AROUND HANDY MAN. THAT WORKS OUT QUITE WELL BECAUSE BROWN AL- WAYS WAS GOOD AT DRIVING PLACES WHERE NO ONE ELSE DARED. TERESA DIDIER HAD HER FUN LOVING AND LEAVING THE MEN FOR THREE YEARS AFTER GRADUATION. FINALLY SHE LOVED ONE, HE LEFT HER, SO SHE BECAME A NUN. BETTY CUSHING IS NOW A HORSE TRAINER IN CLYDE BEATTY’S FLEA CIRCUS. ALLEN KOLSTAD TOOK THE DuBARRY Success COURSE AND CAN NOW BE HEARD over C. B. S as the Thin Man. DONNA STANDIFORD IS STILL WAITING FOR HER LUCKY STAR AND IN THE MEANTIME, SHE IS COOPERING CARS FOR HER FATHER IN LOTHAIR. CARMEN SKARI HAS INVENTED A SECRET LIQUID WHICH IS USED AS A PRO- TECTION against the atom Bomb, he discovered it one night when HE WAS DISTILLING BREW AND IT GOT A LITTLE MORE POTENT THAN US- UAL. WILL WE, THE SENIOR CLASS OF CHESTER HIGH SCHOOL, IN THE YEAR of Nineteen hunored and Forty Nine, being in full possession OF MINO DO HEREBY BEOUEATH, DONATE, AND GIVE THE FOLLOWING PER- SONAL POSSESSIONS TO OUR SUCCESSORS: First, to the faculty we leave the memory of us, we know THERE HAS NEVER BEEN A MORE INTELLIGENT CLASS. WE ALSO WISH TO EXPRESS OUR THANKS TO YOU FOR BRINGING OUT OUR HIDOEN TAL- ENTS. SECOND, TO THE FRESHMEN WE LEAVE OUR ABILITY TO ACT OUR AGE AT ALL TIMES, OUR SOPHISTICATED MANNER AND MOST IMPORTANT OF ALL, OUR ABILITY TO KEEP OUR LITTLE TRAPS SHUT. Third, to the sophomores we will these halls of learning. (They think they own them anyway.) Fourth, to the Juniors, we will the traditional seats by THE WINDOWS. WE ALSO WILL THE FOLLOWING PERSONAL ASSETS TO SOME OF THE LOWER CLASSMEN TO ENHANCE THEIR PERSONALITIES: ALICE WILLS HER FLIRTATIONS WAYS TO BOBBY CUSHING WITH HOPES THAT IT WILL BRING HIM THE SAME SATISFYING RESULTS. ALLEN B. WILLS HIS CURLY BROWN HAIR AND SOULFUL BROWN eyes to Dean wolfe so that Dean may improve his chances WITH A CERTAIN GRADE SCHOOL GIRL. ALLEN K WILLS HALF OF HIS EXCITING PHYSIQUE TO KENNY Brandvold so that Kenny May improve his chances with Allen's sister, Doris. BETTY WILLS HER ABILITY TO ACT HER AGE TO MARGIE HADER. CARMEN WILLS HALF HIS CREDITS TO JOHNNY SHETTELL, SO JOHNNY CAN AFFORD TO KEEP ON BREAKING THE BOREDOM OF SCHOOL BY GETTING EXPELLED EVERY F EW DAYS. DONNA DOESN'T WILL ANYTHING. SHE'S TAKING ALL HER POSSESSIONS WITH HER. EVELYN WILLS HER GIRLISH FIGURE TO EDITH MARSHALL TO ATTRACT MORE men. Make good use of it, Edith, Evie let it go to waste. HAZEL WILLS HER ABILITY TO TALK ON AND ON WITHOUT STOPPING TO Betty Skinner. JUNE WILLS HER BROTHER, DALE, TO VIRGINIA HAAG. PATIENCE, VIRGIN- IA; LOIS WILLS HER WIT AND ABILITY TO WRITE SPICY GOSSIP COLUMNS TO Mabel Marshall. Don't use your own name all the time, Mabel! LOUISE WILLS HER ABILITY TO WEAR A PENCIL SKIRT TO ALMA SHETTELL. MARY WILLS HER SOPHISTICATED MANNER AND LONG EYELASHES TO RAYMOND Zorn. Every little bit helps. MICKEY WILLS HIS PLEASING PERSONALITY AND HIS -ABILITY TO DRIVE A CAR ON THE ROA.D WITHOUT HITTING ALL THE BUILDINGS TO EDWIN KAU- shagen. Please use it, Edwin. ROBERT wills to Dale Lyders the athletic ability that was willed TO HIM IN 1947, BECAUSE HE DIDN'T USE IT. ROBERT SAID THAT IT IS SUPPOSED TO ATTRACT GIRLS, TOO. TERESA WILLS HER ABILITY TO ENJOY MALE COMPANIONSHIP WITHOUT GOING STEADY TO AUDREY ZANDA, AUDREY HEIMBIGNER, AND JOAN DlDIER, WHO SEEM TO THINK A STEADY BEAU IS NECESSARY TO LIFE. Subscribed, sealed, published and delivered by the Senior Class as their last will and testament in the presence of each OTHER THIS I6TH DAY OF MAY, 1949 AT THE CHESTER HIGH SCHOOL, CITY of Chester, County of Liberty, and State of Montana.

Among the accomplishments of this Student Council weresthe SPONSORING OF THE CARNIVAL AND A CHRISTMAS PARTY, DONATING TO THE BAND UNIFORM FUND, PURCHASING AN AUTOMATIC CLOCK, PURCHASING A BOU- QUET OF FLOWERS FOR MR. KENNY'S FUNERAL, AND SELECTING A COMMITTEE TO PURCHASE NEW RECORDS EACH MONTH FOR OUR PHONOGRAPH RECORD LIBRARY WE FEEL THAT THE STUDENT COUNCIL HAS BEEN VERY EFFECTIVE IN IMPROV- ING OUR SCHOOL THIS PAST YEAR. SCHOOL PAPER Our school paper was published every six-weeks. The name OF THE PAPER WAS CHANGED FROM ATOMIC FLASH TO COYOTE FLASHES AS THERE HAS BEEN MUCH CRITICISM OF THE FORMER NAME.

Every kind of game, from roulette to basketball throw, was BEING PLAYED; AND IN THE HOME ECONOMICS ROOM GIRLS BUSILY SERVED HOT DOGS, COFFEE, POP, AND ICE CREAM.

SENIOR PLAY After six weeks of grueling (?) practice the Seniors present- ed a WHOPPING GOOD MYSTERY, THE MOUNTAIN HOUSE MYSTERY , BY ROB- ERT St. Clair, on February 26. The entire scene of the play took place in an old mountain HOME WHERE ELIZABETH FORD, AN OLD MAID, LIVED WITH HER NIECE SAN- DRA AND HER HUSBAND MAXWELL. ELIZABETH GOT A TELEGRAM FROM JONA- THAN FORD, HER LONG LOST BROTHER, WHO INFORMED HER OF A CERTAIN TREASURE MAP HIDDEN IN THE HOUSE BY BLACK BARNEY, A DESPERADO AN- CESTOR. THE MAPS DISAPPEARED WHEN JONATHAN GOT SHOVED OUT THE DOOR AND FELL INTO A CANYON. HE WAS LATER EXPOSED AS AN IMPOSTER. AN ESCAPED CRIMINAL, ANDREW STONE, MADE HIS APPEARANCE AND MAX- WELL SECRET FORMULA WAS STOLEN BY THE MAID, MARY. AFTER MANY EXCITING SCENES, THE MAP WAS FOUND, ANDREW STONE WAS TAKEN BACK TO PRISON, AND ALL ENDED WELL.

JUNIOR PROM A Dutch Garoen was the theme for the Annual Junior Promenade HONORING THE CLASS OF 48, THIS WAS ONE OF THE IMPORTANT EVENTS in our Junior Year.. As THE PEOPLE ENTERED THE GYMNASIUM THROUGH AN ARCH-WAY COV- ERED WITH TULIPS, THEY WERE GREETED BY TWO DUTCH GIRLS, DARLENE Laas and Sharon Wright, and two Dutch Boys, Jimmy Laas and Jimmy Knorr, who gave out colorful tulip programs. After receiving the programs, the couples saw the beautifully DECORATED GYM. AROUND THE FLOOR WAS A PICKET FENCE WITH GREEN GRASS AND TULIPS ALL COLORS OF THE RAINBOW. ON EACH SIDE OF THE ORCHESTRA WAS A BROWN WINDMILL, AND ABOVE WAS AN AZURE BLUE SKY WITH WHITE CLOUDS THERE AND YON. At nine o clock, Teresa Didier, class president, and Allen KOLSTAD LED A GRAND MARCH OF APPROXIMATELY SEVENTY-FIVE COUPLES TO THE MELODY OF IN AN OLD DUTCH GARDEN , PLAYED BY EDDIE NEI- hardt’s Orchestra. During the course of the evening the couples refreshed them- selves WITH PUNCH AND COOKIES SERVED FROM A WISHING WELL BY THE Juniok High Girls. JUNIOR PLAY On April 2, 1948, the Juniors began to realize their drama- tic TALENTS AND PRESENTED THEIR FIRST PLAY. BOYS ABOUT BOBBETTE. The SCENE OF THE PLAY TOOK PLACE IN THE BLAYLOCK LIVING ROOM WHERE JUST ABOUT EVERYTHING TOOK PLACE AT ONCE. MR. BLAYLOCK LIS- TENED TO THE RADIO- AND CLEANED HIS GUN WHILE BOBBETTE AND HER THREE FOOTBALL-PLAYING FRIENDS PILED THE ROOM FULL OF JUNK FOR THEIR RUMPUS ROOM. MRS. BLAYLOCK DISCUSSED PLANS FOR A STYLE SHOW WITH THREE SOCIETY LADIES. BOBBETTE REPRESENTED QUITE A PROBLEM TO HER MOTHER WHO WANTED HER TO BE A LADY AND MODEL IN THE STYLE SHOW. BUT BOBBETTE WAS THE GOAL KICKER FOR THE DIRTY DOZEN FOOT- BALL TEAM AND NOTHING COULD PERSUADE HER TO ACT DIFFERENTLY UN- TIL A PRETTY LITTLE FLIRT, FREDA FISH, BEGAN TO TEACH SOCKO HOW TO DANCE.
