Text from Pages 1 - 76 of the 1953 volume:

We, the Annual Staff of 1953, have tried to put a few memories of this year into a book for you to treasure in the future. A great deal of time and work has been involved in the publication of this annual. However, we believe that it has not been wasted effort. Our deep appreciation and thanks to Miss Childs, the students of C.H.S., and the advertisers for making this annual possible. ANNUAL STAFF Standing: Miss Childs. Norma Erickson, Ruby Heimbigner, Virginia Seidlitz, Louise Wanken, Dorothy Ward, Arlo Skari, Lloyd Hunt. Donald Raunig, Morton Skari. Sitting: Bonita Kossel, Harold Raunig, Dale Zorn, Marilynn Jensen. For the past four years he has helped us with our studies as well as directing class plays. And so, to show our gratitude for the time and effort Mr. Lallum has put forth, we dedicate this annual to him. CHESTER HIGH SCHOOL WALTER JENSEN Custodian SCHOOL BUSSES Mr. Ventsch Mr. Brannon DRIVER TRAINING Sandra Leighton Beverly Thisselle Lorietta Backen Gail Thieltnan Mr. Lallum (Instructor ) Your book of memories will recall for you many pleasant days and events in your life while you have been students in Chester High School and so, young students, you who have a few more years left to study here accumulate as many pleasant memories as possible. There is a great deal of sat- isfaction and pleasure derived from doing a job well and, if your personality has or does develop such a trait, you can be as- sured that it will carry over into your adult life and surely you can expect more enjoyment and contentment as you make your adult contribution to society. My congratulations to the Senior Class and to your advisor for your completion of an- other fine COYOTE. My best wishes to you young people who are leaving our school this year. Your responsibility and privi- leges are great—use them wisely. ARDEN M. VIE, Supt. KATHLEEN CHILDS Killdeer, North Dakota; B.S. University of North Dakota, Grand Forks; Junior Class Advi sor.

Although we know there will never be anyone to take our place, we hope that some future class will try to make you as happy as we have. Second, to the freshmen we leave our ability to act our age without crawling. Also our ability to get along with the teachers in a grownup sort of way. (No apples, kids. ) Third, to the sophomores we leave the halls of learning. It seems nobody else has a chance when they are in them anyway. Fourth, to the juniors we leave the traditional seats by the windows. Try to leave them as nice for the next class as we have left them for you. The Senior Class of 53 also leaves their ability to fight over anything and everything that comes up in class meetings to the future classes of C.H.S. HAROLD RAUNIG: Our casanova of the class wills his ability to tease the girls and still have them like him to Eddy S. Also his grades to anyone who can get by on them. ARLO SKARI: Our mouse among men with the brains of Einstein, wills his good looks and eyesight to Donald H. MORTON SKARI: Our bashful redhead, wills his ability to keep the freshmen in line to Lyle Crawford. Also his heighth to Larry B. DONALD RAUNIG: Our class version of Valentino, wills his good looks and ability to get along with girls to John Ward. DALE ZORN: Our lady killer deluxe with the brows of J.L. Lewis, wills his athletic ability to Carl I. Also his whiskers to David C. (It gives you that Tarzan look. Doc.) VIRGINIA SEIDLITZ: Our lady of muscles, wills her ear-splitting laugh to anyone who wants it. NORMA ERICKSON: Oui beautiful blonde man hater ( ? ) wills her abil- ity to say the right thing in the wrong place and vice versa to Lorietta B. RUBY HEIMBIGNER: Our grandma Moses, wills her artistic ability to Pat Funderhide. Also her likeness to the southern drawl to Betty C. BONNIE KOSSEL: Our dark haired beauty who acts like Marie Wilson, wills her ability to eat and keep her girlish figure to Esther May G. Also her love em and leave em attitude to Betty B. MARILYNN JENSEN: Who has already surpassed Lily Ponds, wills her ability to go steady and stay happy to Kay Kolstad. LOUISE WANKEN: Our walking encyclopedia, wills her brains and ability to get along with teachers to Kay G. DOROTHY WARD: That gal with a glem in her eye (when it comes to men, that is) wills her good looks and OUTSTANDING figure to Opal H. Subscribed, sealed, published and delivered by the senior class as their last will and testament in the presence of each other this 22nd day of May, 1953 at the Chester High School, City of Chester. County of Liberty, and State of Montana. Signed: Class of 1953 PROPHECY I, Dale Zorn, at the age of twenty-one, am now a retired multimillionaire. After graduation, I became interested in the oil business and after one and one-half years of hard work, 1 bought out John D, Rockefeller and the Standard Oil Company. On one of my recent excursions to New York City, I attended the Metropolitan Opera which was starring one of our former classmates, Marilynn Jensen. After the per- formance, we began to talk about the rest of the class. Donald Raunig, who married a former Ford dealer's (laughter, completed a very sturdy bridge across the Atlantic and then turned to more advanced engineering projects —designing bamboo huts for the natives in Africa. Norma Erickson, our blonde-haired beauty, is traveling extensively in the United States by the latest mode of travel--convertible box cars (Gondolas). It seems that Virginia Seidlitz is making her way through the world working as a laboratory technician in Mayo Clinic at Rochester. Arlo Skari, the little big man of the class, is the youngest man, twenty-one, to win the Nobel Prize in science. , Bonita Kossel, our Marilyn Monroe, has lived up to her acting ability and is mak- ing her debut for the Academy Award. Dorothy Ward is again right at home baking orders in the Air Force. Ruby Heimbigner is drawing backgrounds for MGM's new movie, The Downfall of the Soviet Union. Morton Skari, the big Swede, has now bought Liberty County and moved the Sweet Grass hills into the Marias river so that he could have more farm land. Louise Wanken, another Madame Curie, had taken over Einstein's place in science. Harold Raunig, after getting out of the Air Force, bought out Boeing Aircraft and is designing rocket ships to the moon. Now 1 can go back to my millions, a happy man, for I know that all my old class- mates have become successful. The class of ”53 had really made a showing. HISTORY In the fall of 1949, seventeen green but trying freshmen came into Chester High School for their biggest test so far. After one restless week, we were initiated into the high school as honorary members. For this big day. the girls were dressed in red under- wear, large men’s overalls with chains for suspenders and men's logging boots, and the boys were dressed as babies and had to wear diapers. The following freshman were initiated on this long-remembered day: Alice Broad- hurst, Norma Erickson. Ruby Heimbigner, Marilynn Jensen, Shirley Kolstad, Bonita Kossel, Donald Raunig, Sec.-Treas.. Arlo Skari, Vice Pres., Morton Skari, Winifred Rockman, Glenda Ross, Virginia Seidlitz, Francis.Shettel, Louise Wanken, Dorothy Ward and Dale Zorn, President. At the close of this year we lost Shirley Kolstad, Winifred Rockman, and Glenda Ross. Our sophomore class officers were Bonita Kossel, President; Sonia Skonard, Sec. - Treasurer; and Marilynn Jensen, Vice President. At the beginning of our sophomore year we gained Gene Petty and Sonia Skonard. There was very little activity this year and at the close of it we lost Francis Shettel, Gene Petty and Sonia Skonard. Bob Forsyth, Paul Funderhide, and Carol King joined us in our junior year. Our junior class officers were Dale Zorn, President: Donald Raunig, Vice President; and Edith Marshall, Sec. -Treasurer. This was a year of work but yet of excitement, for we got our class rings, and were busy with our play, The Boarding House Reach, which we presented in the fall, and our Prom which we sponsored in the spring with the theme of Hawaiian Holiday. Bob, Paul, and Carol left us at the end of this year. Our senior class officers were Donald Raunig, President; Harold Raunig, Vice Presi- dent; and Virginia Seidlitz, Sec. -Treasurer. Our senior year will probably be the most memorable because of our right of superiority over the lower classmen. Along with freshman initiation, the year was packed full of exciting events, such as presenting our senior class play, ordering annoucements, having pictures taken, going on Sneak Day, and most important of all-completing four years of fun and work with Baccaloureate and Commence ment.

JUNIOR CLASS PLAY 1951-1952 The Boarding House Reach was a three act comedy with a cast of 16 players. The story was centered around Wilbur Maxwell and his secret ambition to own a bicy- cle. When Pop and Mom are called away for a week long business trip, and the house is left in charge of sister Connie and sister Betty Lou, Wilbur gets his idea. He’ll open up a boarding house right here and make enough money to buy his own bicycle. Wil- bur knows there is a frightful housing shortage, he knows people need places to sleep, and he knows for a whole week he can really clean up and just be rolling in bicycles. So into the paper goes the ad, and that night the whole Maxwell house is crawling with people. First comes Lucy Burns, a sort of walking encyclopedia; then Mrs. Mott, who never says a word all through the play, just comes in, sits down, gets up, and walks out. Then come Ninety-Volt Jones, a beat up pug, and his wrestling wife, Ruby. They're followed by Mr. Potter, an insurance salesman; and next come Limpy McGuire and his wife, Nora. Now, every room in the house is full, Wilbur's doing a bang-up business, and then it happens. Mama and Papa Maxwell, at two o'clock the next morning, come dragging home--Papa forget his briefcase. From there on out, it’s one mess after an- other. Papa has an important business conference the next morning, but he has to sleep on the floor, he can’t get in to shave, and he can’t even read his own paper. Finally it's discovered somebody in the house is a bank robber, and poor Papa is mistakenly carted off to the clink. Everything is soon straightened out, however, and Wilber gets his bicycle. JUNIOR CLASS PLAY 1952-1953 The Junior Class play, Hillbilly Weddin, takes place in an old shack in the Ken- tucky hills where Paw Belsnickle, Gerald Anderson; his wife, Maw Belsnickle, Delores Cramer; and his six daughters: Juney Lou, Leona Sanford; Bonnie Mae, Sharlene Leigh- ton; Ceelie, Fay Heimbigner; Six. Kay Kolstad; Five, Rose Cushing; and Four, Carol Eveland live. Juney Lou wants to marry Homer Upschlager, Harold Guinn. Maw Bels- nickle had decided Juney Lou cannot be married until Ceelie. a ripe old nineteen, and Bonnie Mae, the bookworm, are safely married off. Paw is elected to get husbands for them. He decides to wing them, pick out the buckshot, and have them married to his daughters before they know what has happened. Bonnie Mae declares this method out of style, and balks at the entire idea of getting married. In the midst of Paw's husband chasing, Ronald Maxwell, Russell Violett, a medi- cal student and his aunt Lucy, Mary Jean Greinger; arrive at the Belsnickle's mountain cabin. Their car has broken down, and so they seek shelter at the cabin. Bonnie Mae and Ceelie both fall for this handsome stranger. Bonnie Mae finally wins Ronald, and Ceelie finds a husband who really wants her and from there on the fun is thicker than the dirt on Ceelie's face. Others in the cast were Reverand. Raymond Evans; Obey Upschlager. Phill Buffing- ton; Cousins, Douglas Erickson, Lyle Crawford, David Cushing, Betty Crouch; Promp- ters, Lynda Ward, Lenora Ward. JUNIOR SENIOR PROM 1951-1952 A nother one of our great successes was the Prom which was held on May 3, 1952. The theme for the occasion was Hawaiian Holiday. The gym was lavishly covered with shades of red crepe paper and palm trees filled out the surroundings along with a chalk drawing of Diamond Head on the south wall. Approximately 75 couples attended. The Grand March started at 9:00 p.m. led by the junior class president. Dale Zorn, and his date. They then started dancing to the music of the Country Club Orchestra from Great Falls. The 1952 prom was underway and, all in all, it proved a big success. On October 18, 1952, C.H.S. held its annual carnival. There were many new booths, including the Fun House and the Mouse Game. At 12:00 o’clock the Carnival Queen, Norma Erickson, and Morton Skari, King, were crowned. The attendants were Donald Raunig, Betty Berg, Virginia Seidlitz, and Dale Zorn. All the candidates were chosen by popular vote of the student body. The boy and girl receiving the most number of votes were elected King and Queen and their identity was not disclosed until the night of the carnival. The High School and Grade School both put on performances in the third grade room. The local Boy Scout group sponsored boxing matches again this year. The door prize, a blanket, was won by Mr. Bleecher and the raffle prize of $ 150. 00 was won by Ed Warnes. The gross proceeds for the carnival was $ 1478.45 and the net income was $912.42. ru 'r CITY JAIL .,-iT 'Tout I H h? f r1 A7onf nna Hid 1.
