 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.
