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.
