It is our request that Mr. Jensen gather together all the wads of gum that may be found In our classrooms and under our desks and have them molded into a monument to be erected to our memory on the northeast corner of the northwest section of the flagpole. Behind the magazine rack, hidden under the radiator, in the west end of the library, will be found the key to all the examination questions that have been asked us during our high school days, thus at last solving the great mystery of the senior class. Without this answer book, we might yet be dwelling among you. We, the seniors, will our good grades and senior dignity to all the juniors, so that they can set an example for the rest of the school. Also, we leave you our traditional seats by the windows in the study hall. To the sophomores, we will our worldly ways, gained by having made Chester High our home for two years more than you have. Freshmen, we leave you these halls of learning. (You think you own them anyway.) The seniors as individuals bequeath die following worldly possessions in the form and manner stated below: GERALD ANDERSON wills his wit and humor to Charles Peterson. His worn out brains, ” he wills to Jim Berg. (They’ll still work if you use them right, Jim.) ROSE CUSHING wills her ability to say the right thing at the wrong time to Dianne Luchetti. Her ability to play the first and last note in every run in Stars and Stripes For- ever” she wills to her sister, Pat Cushing. RAY EVANS wills his ability to never do anything, but always get by to Bob Funderhide. His trombone talent he wills to Speed Wright. CAROL EVELAND wills the fun and excitement she had on Sneak Day to anyone who can use it as well as she did. MARY JEAN GREINER wills her top place on the honor roll to Marilyn Zorn. Her ability to get along with the teachers she wills to David Ward and Jimmy Thielman. CLASS WILL (Continued) One of our more honored students, FRANK JODLOWSKI. by name, wills his hidden talents to anyone who can find them, LEONA SANFORD gladly wills her braces to Joseph Raunig. Her subtle ways she wills to Joan Schroer. (Don't take it too seriously, Joan, we like your frankness.) SHARLENE LEIGHTON wills her ski-jump nose to Dorothy Haugen. Her lonely hours of waiting for a certain soldier, she wills to Sandy. KAY KOLSTAD wills her ability to go with four boys at the same time to her little sister, Hannah. Her wrestling ability to get in and out of clinches she wills to Gaye Hanson. (Please use wisely.) DELORES CRAMER wills one-half Inch of her height to Barbara Smith. That is all she can afford. The mello-tone muffler on Russell’s car she wills to Buzzy T. (Not that you need it. Buzz???) RUSSELL VIOLETT wills his ability to go steady all through high school, and still stay happy, to Gordon Kammerzell; also his laugh to Floyd Blair. FAY WOLFE wills her ability to get married and still finish high school to Karen Ward. Her tiny feet, she wills to Beverly Thisselle. PHILL BUFFINGTON wills his ballerina tactics on the basketball floor to Denis Peterson. His false tooth he wills to Glen Eveland. HAROLD GUINN wills his southern drawl to Frances Swot. His ability to stick to only one he wills to Bob Pugsley. ALICE THISSELLE wills her ability to cause an eruption in Chemistry to Pat Funderhide. Her first chair in the drum section she wills to Birdie Lee Ward. STANLEY THISSELLE wills his ability to stay out of trouble in the fifth period study hall to the junior boys. CLARENCE WILLIAMSON wills his ability to tell jokes in P. A. D. and get by with it to Eddie Staudacher. In witness thereof we have to this, our last will and testament, afffixed our fingerprints, and flourishing signature. The Seniors of 1954 Well, here It is the end of May, 1964. It has been ten years since the Class of 1954 has been together. The other day I started checking up to see what they have been doing. I received a letter from ROSE CUSHING last week. She had just had a painting hung in the Hall of Shame. Rose said that while she was on a tour of the world last summer, she saw the former CAROL EVELAND, the present Mrs. Pat Cameron. Carol had been elected Mrs. Potato of Wisconsin. I always warned her she would begin to look like a potato if she kept on eating so many of them. While Rose was on her tour she stopped at Hawaii for a while. While there she came upon a former classmate, KAY KOLSTAD, Gonzales, O'Conner, Shis Huang Ti, Malenkov, Kamehameha. Kay, after being married four times, has started on her fifth marriage. Her present husband is the rich owner of a cattle ranch. Let's hope that she doesn't get married any more or her sons and daughters will be at war with one another if there is another world conflict. Well, so much for Rose’s letter, now let's see if Who's Who in America has anything about some of my former classmates. Oh yes, GERALD ANDERSON has developed a hydrogen power plant, it is 'going to be used few peaceful purposes only. Gerald was always the Einstein of our class. It says here that he won the Nobel Peace Prize in 1962. Hurrah for Gerald, he is the first scientist to develop some- thing connected with hydrogen that won't be dropped in the form of a bomb when your back is turned. While in Alaska, Rose looked up SHARLENE LEIGHTON. Sharlene is married to Major Ronald Hanson. They had just left Virginia where Ronald was formerly stationed. Ronald is now in command of the post at Juneau, Alaska. Sharlene is expecting those Russians to come over any day now. RAY EVANS, our poetic classmate, published seven volumes of poetry. He is now living in England. I guess people over here didn't appreciate his poetry enough, but anyway he was chosen - Poet Laureate in 1962 by Queen Elizabeth. MARY JEAN GREINER has been an assistant to Professor Proton, for the past five years. She has derived a new food formula that will allow one to go without food for a month--guaranteed not to cause upset stomach, or ulcers. It doesn't say whether it's fattening or not. Oh well, time will tell. CLASS PROPHECY (Continued) HAROLD GUINN has made the grade, he has been elected President--President of the National Liars Club. Last year he completed his fifth consecutive year as president. I always say, It pays to do what comes naturally. LEONA SANFORD has become a well-known author, it says here she has almost put Ernest Hemingway out of business. I can remember her first book, How To Chew Gum With Braces On. She has gone a long way since then, her latest is How To Chew Gum With False Teeth. Well, that’s all for Who's Who. I guess it’s about time I looked in the Wall Street Journal. It says here RUSSELL VIOLETT, Oil Tycoon, has struck it again. He has finally made his ten million dollars. He says he has finally made enough money so he and DELORES CRAMER can get married. 1 remember Delores when she was Russell's secretary, that was about six years ago. I guess she knows when and how to hang on to the right guy. I never could keep track of CLARENCE WILLIAMSON but the last time I heard about him he was in Las Vegas, Nevada. He owns an All-Girl Wild-West Rodeo that tours the West. Besides that he owns ten of the biggest night clubs along the Strip in Las Vegas. His old buddy FRANK JODLOWSKI is working in Clarence's famous night club, the Silver Slipper. Frank is still singing, he has had a few chances to go to Hollywood, but he turned them down so he could stick around Clarence. As predicted in the class prophecy in the annual of 1951. FAY HEIMBIGNER WOLFE is now very busy raising little hired hands on that big wheat farm that covers the lower part of Liberty County. Oh dear! It's five o'clock and time for Stanley to come home for supper. You remember STANLEY THISSELLE, my husband. Now he is head cameraman for Warner Brothers and is working on the fourth dimension for 4-D motion pictures. He has added to width, depth, and height, curves! He is bringing home another classmate, PHILL BUFFINGTON, who has been up on Pikes Peak for the last six years. This is his first vacation. Those forest rangers sure have it tough. I guess all of the class of 1954 are accounted for and as for me, ALICE THISSELLE, I'm still just a housewife. We have our dozen children now, so I'm busy enough. “rtytetaiCf September 9. 1951, was a big day in the lives of twenty students. Yes, it was our first day of high school. At first we wandered around like lost pedlars but it didn't take long for us to get the wheels of our tricycles turning. The head tricyclists for 51-52 were: President, Russell Violett; Vice President, Delores Cramer; Secretary, Mary Jean Greiner; Treasurer, Fay Heimbigner. Our advisor was Miss Fairchild. In September we came to our first hump which required some strenuous pedaling on our part as we wore logger boots, gunny sacks, and other ridiculous looking costumes. This day marked our initiation and after this we had smooth pedaling for the rest of the year because we were now full- Later in the year we threw our first party, a return party for the Seniors. With the coming of spring the class of 1951 was graduating and we were just com- pleting our first year of high school. We started our sophomore year in September with a total of sixteen students. The main spokes in the wheels of this year’s bike were: President, Delores Cramer; Vice President, Fay Heimbigner; Secretary-Treasurer, Carol Eveland; and our advisor was Mr. Ventsch. In the lost and found department we had Vernon Swarens, Willie Mosburger, Evelyn Stores, and Leona Sanford, lost. We didn't find this year too exciting but we had plenty of work to keep us busy and spring found us glad to be having another vacation. As the second week of September rolled around we, as juniors, were found learning to drive our newly remodeled hotrods. We finally got in gear and started out on the big race which was led by: Pres- ident, Gerald Anderson; Vice President, Russell Violett; Secretary-Treasurer. Carol Eveland; and Class Advisor. Miss Childs. We gained four new hotrodders who were Clarence Williamson. Harold Guinn, and Lyle Crawford. Coming back this year was Leona Sanford. We lost Stanley Thisselle, Ruth Heimbigner. and Douglas Erickson. fledged students of CHS. CLASS HISTORY (Continued) This year was full of excitement. On November 22, we presented our class play, Hillbilly Weddin', a three act comedy. Our class rings arrived fromJosten'sin February. They were different from the other years’ rings as they had blue onyx stones and our initials carved in white gold. On April 18, we presented our Junior-Senior Prom. The theme for the Prom was Down By the Old Mill Stream. We broke away from an old tradition and had the banquet on the same night as the Prom. Well, well, at long last we found ourselves breezing into CHS as Seniors in our spanking new Cadillacs. Horns honked loudly for all other students to clear the way or get smashed under the heavy wheels of our big automobiles. The ones that did the most honking were: Head Honker, Frank Jodlowski; Vice Honker. Stanley Thisselle. Secretary, Rose Cushing: and Class Advisor, Mr. Ventsch. The driven who left us were Lyle Crawford, Lynda Ward, gained were Stanley Thisselle. Alice Thisselle, and Frank Jodlowski. Soon after school started we initiated the freshman class, later they gave us a return party. Time went fast and we were kept busy with Senior class pictures, announcements. Skip Day, and our play. We presented our play, Excuse Me, Please. on March 27, and on April 1, we left on Skip Day. We went to some interesting and educational places and everyone had a good time. All the fun that is rolled up in one year was well spent. Now comes the last, but not the least. Baccalaureate and Commencement. All the knowledge that we have had crammed into our heads by teachers is beginning to show. We are adults and beginning our lives anew. We are leaving high school with but one thought in our minds. -- The door to success is labelled—'Push'. and Lenora Ward.

The rings are a new 3-Y style with inlaid letters and a protective crown of white and rose gold. It’s a Date, the Junior Class Play, was presented on November 21. Mrs. Un- terseher directed the production which was enjoyed by a capacity crowd. On April 30, the Junior-Senior Banquet was held in the Lutheran Church base- ment. Following was the prom in the gym with a theme of Moonlight and Roses. Music was furnished by Meadowlark Orchestra of Great Falls in a setting of blue and silver steamers and various colored roses.

In the first game they defeated the Box Elder Bears 34-6. The Coyotes came out on the long end of a 45-9 game with Joplin for the second win. Oilmont gave the Coyotes their first defeat 40-6. Big Sandy won over the Coyotes 50-0 and in the last game of the season the Coyotes held down the Rudyard Panthers to win by 20-12. Phill Buffington and Russ Violett were elected co-captains of the Coyotes for the 1953- 54 year. The third year of football in Chester proved to be the best year both in the season's record of 3 wins 2 losses and in spectator interest. This was Coach Shepherd's third year of coaching football here and he stated that the boys have made much improve- ment. He thinks that next year's team will be even more powerful.

Summary Season's play was started in a rather slow manner, with the Coyotes losing the first three games and then winning two. The team lost, then won and lost a few more before turning on the steam to win the next five games. One more loss ended the season with the Coyotes having an 8-8 balance. In tournament play, Chester won three and lost three games. They won one and lost one in the Hi-Line Tournament. At the District, they won the first two games and were beat out of the championship by Havre Central. Being in second place and not yet having played the third place team, the Coyotes were challenged by Kremlin. The upset team of the tournament won in the final game of the Coyote's season giving the Coyotes third place in District 11. Russ Violett and Frank Wanken were elected co-captains for the Coyote's 1953-54 season. SEASON'S SUMMARY Dec.

'Kitty cutd 2uee t On October 24, 1953, the annual Chester High Carnival was held in the gymnasium. It consisted of the usual booths and lunch served by the Home Economics department. Bingo, lunch and the cake walk proved to be the biggest attractions. The High School and Grade School both put on performances. The door prize, a live turkey, was won by Mr. Brandt and the $150 merchandise ticket went to Mrs. Lee Caldwell. At 12:00 the Carnival Queen, Delores Cramer and King, Russell Violett, were crowned. The attendants were Rose Cushing, Betty Berg, Frank Jodlowski and Gerald Anderson. All the candidates were chosen by popular vote and their identity was not disclosed until the night of the carnival. The gross proceeds for the carnival were $2,192.66 and the net income was $1,646.42. if oof THE CH ESTER BODY SHOP 24 Hour Wrecker Service Body and Fender Painting WAYNE DEFOE, Proprietor Phone 100 IRetU (par VaCcieA Phone 103 l U EWELRY Wie UZ1A4014C 4, Beloved Diamonds - First Choice for Third Finger, Left Hand Chester - Box 655 Jewelry - Watches Diamonds - Silverware Your Home SHOPPE MONTANA- DA KOTA Ladies’ and Children’s Ready to Wear Gift Items Costume Jewelry Phone 133 UTILITIES CO.
