It flourishes well when cultivated, but withers rapidly when un- attended. Education is not a fixed object, something that you can acquire and then hold without effort. Education is a continuous process, never quite completed. In high school you should have learned habits that will insure your status as an educated person, but unless these habits are continued your diploma will mean nothing more than stated: That you have com- pleted a course of study. If you will continue to read the best in magazines and books, to keep up with current affairs, and above all, to do some thinking and formulating of opinions, then your education will continue to increase and not become a static or dying thing. Just how much your education develops depends on each one of you. Some of you may find it possible to acquire a degree at a college or university and still fall short of being a truly educated person. Some of you may never attend a school of higher learning and find in a few years that you are truly a person of sound knowledge, deep thought and opinion. My congratulations upon your graduation from C.H.S. and may you all enjoy a prosperous and useful life. A.M. VIE, Superintendent MRS.

In relating the experiences the Seniors of the Class of 1956 have had in the past four years, we would like to remind everyone of what a fine and wonderful group we were--naturally the mostest and bestest ever to graduate from Chester High School's “Halls of Ivy. “ Our hardships” started when we entered school at CHS on September 2, 1952, as po' lil green freshmen. We were really in for it on September 12, as it was initiation day and the seniors gave us a bad time. Class officers elected for this year were Beverly Thisselle, president; Larry Lambott, vice- president; Gail Kammerzell, secretary-treasurer; and Mr. G. Lallum, advisor. Some new students that joined us were Violet Newby, Loree Chisholm, Raymond Birdsall, Kay Graves, and Dick Harmon. On the evening of March 6, we freshmen honored the seniors with a return party. All in all we had a pretty good year, and we were hoping the next three would be even better. As we set out to do a little more exploring at CHS we found out one thing—we were now called sophomores. Our leaders were Jim Thielman, president; Beverly Berg, vice-president; Barbara Smith, secretary-treasurer and Mr. Wilson, advisor. Raymond Birdsall and Violet Newby left our class after going part of the year. Those that joined were: Paul Tallman, Frances Swor, Clifton Riley, Robert Pugsley, Denis Peterson, Stanley Mitchell, Dianne Luchetti, and Jack Hughes. Carl Tallman joined and then left again. As sophomores we were rather bored with life, so we surely did look forward to becoming juniors! Though we were now juniors, we still discovered a lot of things. For instance: On December 6, 1954, we received our new 3-D class rings. November 20 was the scene of our junior play, Stars in Their Eyes. The Junior-Senior Prom and Banquet was held on April 29, 1955. Meet Me Tonight in Dreamland was our theme for the big event. Beverly Thisselle as delegate and Gail Kammerzell, alternate, were chosen for Girls’ State from the junior class. Delegates for Boys' State were Ed Cramer and Bob Pugsley; alternate was Boyd Nealy. President, Ed Cramer; vice president, Joan Schroer; secretary-treasurer, Sandra Leighton; and advisor, Mr. H Palmer helped and lead all of us during our big exciting discoveries. The class lost four old friends: Loree Chisholm, Gloria Lund, Gaye Hanson and David Ward, and gained a new one, Ronald Filibeck. Now in the fourth and final year at CHS, we are at last reaching the home stretch in getting ready for each of us to go out and meet our destinies in this world. As all the classes before us, we feel we are the highest and mightiest seniors Chester High will ever graduate. On September 16 we initiated the freshmen at a party in the evening. The class went to Havre on November 4 and had graduation pictures taken. Everybody went to Cut Bank for Career Day on March 12. You'll Lie Laughing was our Senior play given on May 2. At last we got what we had been waiting for a long time—Sneak Day!! On April 19 at 4:00 the class left for a three-day trip to Kalispell, Butte, Missoula, Bozeman, and lots of other places. Everybody had a lot of fun and some of our experiences we’ll probably never forget. David Ward and Gaye Hanson came back to our class; later on, Gaye left. Connie Bowman joined and left; Frances Swor and Ronnie Filibeck left also. Class officers this year are: Robert Pugsley, president. Boyd Nealy, vice-president: Barbara Smith, secretary-treasurer: and Mr. Arnold Unterseher, advisor. Last, but certainly not least, is Baccalaureate and Graduation-----something we've really looked forward to. We know everybody is going to miss us and---I guess we'll miss you too. This is just a last record of the class of '56 and I know that the students and the faculty realize that this is one class that will go down in history as the best. 'Present We, the Senior Class of 1956 of Chester High School, being sincere in heart and with- out the influence of other people, do bequeath and donate our last Will and Testament as follows: First, to the faculty we will the memories of us and the smiles on our faces. Second, to the junior class we leave the front row seats in the new auditorium. Next we leave the sophomore class our successful school days and the halls of learning that they might follow in our footsteps. Last of all we leave our quiet, diligent, and well-planned study habits to the freshman class. BOYD NEALY wills his teasing ways to all the boys in C.H.S. BARBARA SMITH willingly gives her shyness to Beverly Hanson. DENIS PETERSON gives his position in English class to anyone Miss Kapuster would like to have keep her company after school next year. DONALD HAUGEN leaves his shoes and the study hall aisles to Monty Nealy. BEVERLY BERG wills her ability to write many letters a week to Beverly Wright. Because Dennis Freeland wants to look at the future more brightly DICK HARMON wills his dimples and pretty white teeth to him. JOAN SCHROER wills her frankness and ability to get away with it to Nancy Berg. DIANNE LUCHETT1 gives her position as top gum chewer of the school to Cletus Zorn. BEVERLY TlflSSELLE wills her giggles to Dorothy Shettel. JOYCE EVELAND, being very quiet and subtle, wills her ways to Dick Burrows. JOHN STORES wills his mischievous ways to Linda Kammerzell. PAT FUNDERHIDE and JERRY HENDRICKSON leave their ability to sleep all through high school to Ellen Puglsey and Donna Kossel. LORIETTA BACKEN gives her engaging position to Gary Standiford. Because Jim Wigmore likes the library so well, OPAL HEIMB1GNER leaves her position as librarian to him. CARL IVERSON wills his changed ways to Julius Jodlowski and James Potter. ERNEST WENDT leaves his shorthand ability for all the future shorthand classes. GAIL KAMMERZELL and EDWIN CRAMER give their blessing to George McQuire and Donna Poil. As side burns are one of DAVID WARD’S distinctive characteristics he is giving them to Jerry Albright. GALE THIELMAN wills his height to Russell Meech. JAMES THIELMAN wills his hair style to Terry Swank. BOB PUGLSEY willingly gives his laugh to Billie Lee Violett and Marion Standiford. ESTHER MAY GREINER wills her ability to stay out of trouble to Betty Harmon and Darlene Fuhs. LARRY LAMBOTT leaves his compact size to Bob Pettapiece. SANDRA LEIGHTON wills her naturally red hair to Willa Jean Berg. Subscribed, sealed, puDlished and delivered by the Senior Class as their last will and testament in the presence of each other this 24th day of May, 1956, at the Chester High School, City of Chester, County of liberty, and State of Montana. The Coliseum Spokane, Washington May 6, 1976 Dear Mt. Unterseher: I received an issue of the liberty County Times not long ago and noticed that you were still in Chester, as head of Montana’s Boys' Town, which is sponsored by the V.F. W. and located out- side of Chester. Thought I would drop you a line and let you know how the members of your fav- orite class are getting along. As you've probably heard, BARBARA SMITH is now the Women's World Champion Midget Wrestler and I am her manager. We have just returned from a tour around the world and on this trip we ran into almost all the members of the class of '56. While waiting in Washington for our passports to be cleared, we found ESTHER MAE GREINER employed as a nurse for a veterinarian and taking care of the President's menagerie. We also saw ERNEST WENDT who took over his father's contracting business, and who just completed the con- struction of the new U.N. Building. Before we sailed we made a special effort to be present at BOB PUGSLEY's debut as a concert pianist in Carnegie Hall. Bob's success is even more amazing when you realize he learned to play from a mail order course. In addition, the bill featured the Philharmonic Orchestra, and much to our surprise, we found PAT FUNDERHIDE playing last chair, third violin. Pat is really coming up in the world of music as last we'd heard she's been employed as a musician in a mor- tuary in Siberia. On the boat going to Europe we located several more classmates. At the Captain's dinner we were seated next to JOAN SCHROER, who after attending beauty school and working for a few years, decided to open a shop of her own in Paris called the Paris Poodle Salon and now known by its motto If You Want Your Poodle Poodled with Style, Come to the Paris Poodle Salon. GALE THIELMAN was seated across from us and was on his way to the London Premiere of his latest movie Fort Chester Saga. Gale's height has been a great asset to him in his career and he is now recognized as the world's greatest cowboy star. Chief entertainment on the boat every day were under-water swimming performances put on by GAIL KAMMERZELL, and which were viewed from the port holes in the lower deck. Gail succeeded and soon surpassed the former swim queen in only two or three years. The chief topic of discussion among the first-class passen- gers everywhere we went was CARL IVERSON, who as you no doubt remember from our Chemistry classes, had an urge to put things together. Anyway, Carl has recently accomplished the impos- sible, and is now widely acclaimed for his tremendous feat of putting the atom back together. Also on our trip we were lucky enough to attend the first Olympic basketball game and we found that the U.S. basketball team, with'l ARRY LAMBOTT as star guard, making 99 points in one game, had placed first. This is the first year basketball has been featured in the Olympics and a large amount of the credit for the addition of this sport goes to Larry. In Bagdad we found JERRY HENDRICKSON who told us that after years of wandering around on motorcycles, he and JOHN E. STORES have settled down to their life occupations, John as a customs official on the Canadian-American line, and Jerry as a weaver in a veil factory in Bag- dad. LORIETTA BACKEN we found in Paris attending a cosmetic convention and discovered that she was now the new head of Revlon Products Corporation and is the first to present the ladies with a cream absolutely guaranteed to prevent one's skin from ageing. She said that one of her business associates is another old classmate, BOYD NEALY, who is Vice President of the world's largest Freckle Cream Factory located in Fruitville, Florida. He chose the Florida location in order that he might have plenty of freckles on which to test his various types of creams. DAVID WARD we ran into several times as he's now fulfilling his dream of being an edu- cated bum. After graduating with honors from several leading universities he set out to cover every square inch of land in the world. When we last saw him he was just starting on the Azores Islands, which are unique because their beaches are covered with black instead of white sand. BEVERLY THISSELLE who always did feel Sony for the underprivileged, is now a welfare worker in South Africa working with a tribe of Pygmy Cannibals; she is given credit for civiliz- ing the other tribes, this one being the last uncivilized group in the world. While floating down the Nile on a little excursion, we noticed a person frantically digging around the pyramids and the sphinx. Upon coming into closer range, we discovered that the person was DENIS PETERSON. Always an admirer of the female species, he decided to dedicate his entire life to science. Yes, at present Denis is looking for Cleopatra's lost tomb. On the way home we stopped at Daytona Beach, in Florida, and found DONALD HAUGEN was the leading hot-rod racer appearing there that day. BEVERLY BERG owns a controlling interest in the Ford Motor Company and is making an even larger success out of the business, with her uncle and father as her top salesmen. Two others in the transportation business are JOYCE EVELAND who is a pilot at the White Sands testing grounds in New Mexico and is slated to fly the first rocket to Venus any day now; and ED CRAMER who is a jet pilot stationed at Point Hope, Alaska, and who hasn't been off the ground in ten years. To pass the time Ed is publishing his journal in weekly installments in the girl's periodical Seven- teen. These colossal writings have been compared to the Paul Bunyan series and are expected to survive the ages as great classics. SANDRA LEIGHTON, who started out to be a medical secretary, became so interested in the medical field that she went on to become a research chemist and to do something all others have given up. She isolated the cold vims and perfected a cure. For doing this she received the Nobel Peace Prize because the judges felt that now people weren't plagued by colds less likely to quarrel with one another and start wars. OPAL HEIMBE1GNER is now living in Idaho and last year was elected Queen of the annual potato festival held there. She received this honor for raising the biggest and best sweet potatoes in the state. From Idaho we traveled to Colorado and while making an appearance in Loveland, several days after returning from our trip, we chanced to wander into a Date Bureau, and much to our surprise we found JAMES THIELMAN as the proprietor. Jimmy apparently decided to cap- italize on the mutual attraction between himself and the opposite sex and was running a very successful business. Well, Mr. Unterseher, I'm about out of classmates though I did notice in the Liberty County Times that DICK HARMON is County Agent for Liberty County and his chief project now is to raise bigger, better, juicer, and squirtier California grapefruit in Montana. The irrigation from that stupendous creation, Tiber Dam, will help to make this project a success, I'm sure. Barbara will close at the Coliseum in Spokane at the end of this week and then we will be in Great Falls for one night. Enclosed are tickets for you and your entire group. Be seeing you I!
