Gone far away into the silent land; When you can no more hold me by the hand Nor I half turn to go yet turning stay. Remember me when no more day by day You tell me of our future that you planned Only remember me: you understand It will be late to counsel then or pray. Yet if you should forget me for a while And afterwards remember, do not grieve; For if the darkness and corruption leave A vestige of the thoughts that once I had. Better by far you should forget and smile. Christina Rossetti Class Prophecy: Deanna Meech. Class History: Carol Woods, Eunice Maher. Class Will: Han- nah Kolstad.

Wilfred Graham, Beverly Hanson, Betty Harmon, Dorothy Haugen, Pearl Heimbigner, Eula Hood. Arietta Jensen, Dan Kelly, Hannah Kolstad. Eunice Maher, Judy McCarty, Monty Nealy. Joseph Raunig. Ronnie Schwindt, Jim Shettel, Wanda Shott. Ray Skierka, Leland Standi- ford. Dale Staudacher, Gerald Tallman, Birdie Ward, Carol Woods. Duane Wright, and Marilyn Zorn. My story begins with this first day. It was '53, early September A day you seniors should all remember. The day we met at CHS Were we excited, gosh, I guess! After a week of settling down We chose leaders to show us around. Pat Cushing, boss, Ronnie Schwindt, vice, Judy McCarty, at books, very nice. Initiation, we won't forget Did we, or not, owe the seniors a debt? But we survived, and here we are Ready and waiting to catch a star. Margaret and Charlie Peterson came Ronnie Loveall, another new name. Carolyn Morelock decided to stay And Pat Johnson arrived, too, one day. Dan Kelly and Ronnie Loveall Left Chester High School later that fall. Then at the end of our very first term Pat, Gerald, and Ray left not to return. Fifty-four, our second year When once again we gathered here. Yes. we chose leaders great Leland Standiford to bear the weight, Jim Berg right there to assist Carolyn Morelock, with pen, never missed. Many of our friends had gone But several new ones came along. Margie Gardner came one day Colleen Bresnahan here did stay. Marg and Charlie moved to Missouri Marilyn married. Bill left in a hurry. Bobby Wilson just passed through Wanda left, then Margie too. Students lost and students gained Nothing seemed to be the same. Vacation time soon was nigh So for the summer, we said good-bye. Just three months and we were back Beginning as juniors on a busy track. Duane Wright (known as Speed) With Monty Nealy were chosen to lead. Birdie Ward, our secretary Kept our records, with pen so merry. Eunice Maher, we surely lacked Margie Gardner then came back. Dennis Crawford came (still here) And Mattie Adkinson, too, that year. Gary Piro hurried through Carolyn left, and Ronnie too. Although new friends came to stay We still missed those who went away. Of course, there were the prom and play Every day was a busy day. Father Knows Best and Pink Champagne Earned themselves quite a name. Now we were ready, too much, I fear. To rule the roost our senior year. Wilfred Graham would have led us through But he dropped school and married too. Dennis Crawford then lead the race Dale Staudacher in second place. Deanna Meech, by popular vote Was chosen to serve us as she wrote. We started school with students galore Though Mattie and Margie were here no more. Gwen and George Christenot came But Gwen returned to Cut Bank again. Gary Whitcomb was here for a while And Eunice was back with her welcome smile. Eula had left us, cheerful and harried Margie and Nancy had both gotten married. Of course, this year was a busy time As we made trips of every kind. We visited in Helena one day Though the snow tried to keep us away. Graduation pictures, at Havre, were taken And on Career Day. school was forsaken. Memories also include the play But most fun of all was our Sneak Day. Not a person could be prouder Nor could his heart pound louder. Than a senior on that night When his diploma was in sight. Baccalaureate was the 19th of May Best wishes and blessings were given that day. Then a week of anticipation Behold! At last! Graduation! Now here we are, free at last All our high school fun is past. I guess we all regret the end But, of course, best wishes send To the friends we left behind To carry on the old school grind. Dear Diary: May 23, 1957 Today, we the class of '57 graduate. As we step forward into the future some of us are looking forward to cottage careers and others college careers. Some of the boys will join one of the nation's military services before taking up their life work. Dear Diary: May 23, 1967 Here it is ten years since I, DEANNA MEECH, graduated. I'm starting my vacation from the gruel- ing work of a fashion merchandiser in Paris. I wonder what all of my classmates are doing now. Dear Diary: May 24, 1967 Well, I've booked passage on the Queen Mary to return home. I've just bought one of the best sell- ing books written this year. It is entitled My Years in Chester High by EUNICE MAHER. It is a story of a troublesome bunch of high school students. Why - wait a minute - that's our class. Dear Diary: May. 26, 1967 Here it is my first day out on the ocean and I've already met another classmate, the ships official potato peeler - DENNIS CRAWFORD. Dear Diary: June 1, 1967 Ah, back on U.S. soil again. Here in New York I’ve just met the nation’s most celebrated psychi- atrists. Their trade mark is a Small Dot of a Pearl. Of course, by now you must know that they are DOROTHY HAUGEN and PEARL HEIMBIGNER. It has been said that they are their own best customers. One of their most regular visitors is JAMES BERG, author of the well-known Berg's Bunny Cartoon. Dear Diary: June 11, 1967 1 have just arrived in Florida. So guess I'll start looking up some of the state's attractions. The Alligator fights sounded like fun so I went to the Everglades to watch these fights between man and beast. The main contestant and feature attraction was DUANE WRIGHT, the new ladies' idol of Hollywood. He explained he was getting in the mood for his new picture, The Mammoth Mouth or See You Later Alligator.” While mulling over all of the old times with him he showed me a letter from our classmate, DALE STAUDACHER, who is now a standing member of the Cheer Club. Their motto is together we stand and together we fall under the table. Dear Diary: June 15, 1967 I met BIRDIE WARD today. She told me that she is the president of the National Lonely Heart So- ciety for women. PAT CUSHING was secretary until she was forced to resign because it was revealed that her heart wasn't very lonely. Dear Diary: June 17, 1967 Back in New York at the Madison Square Garden I took in the Championship lady wrestling match. The Red Wrecker, better known as COLLEEN BRESNAHAN, was one of the main contestants. She has invented a new hold called the Heart Throb. One of her most avid financial supporters is BEVERLY HANSON, creator of a new type of garlic gum called Burp and Belch with Bev. Dear Diary: June 2o. 1967 Back in Montana. It's sure good to be home. In Chester I saw a very familiar scene, ARLETTA JENSEN behind a store counter. Only this time it's her own and the pride of her life. Jensen's Junk is the name of this up-and-coming establishment. While around town I heard gossip about an old maid schoolteacher - HANNAH KOLSTAD. She had encouraged two of her third graders to elope. Dear Diary: June 22( 1967 Today, while having coffee in The Mint, I met one of the most successful ones of our class - CAROL WOODS. She was chosen Nurse of the Year by her inmates at Alcatraz. Dear Diary: June 25, 1967 Tonight I had the shock of my life. While visiting the Shelby Fair I noticed several chorus girls, and the one with the most swing and sway was BETTY HARMON. As I recall she always did like to kick up her heels. I also met JIM SHETTEL who is very disappointed with life. It seems his ambition was to marry three different girls (one at a time of course) a blonde, a brunette, and a redhead. The first two were okay, but fate struck a blow the third time when the redhead's wig fell off during the wedding march. Dear Diary: June 27 1967 Today 1 met JOSEPH RAUNIG, the millionaire drive-in theater owner. The reason for his success is he guarantees a lover's moon for every movie. MONTY NEALY is also on his way to the million mark. He invented the widely used livestock feed called Nealy's Mealy Cow Chow. Dear Diary: June 30. 1967 I'm leaving from San Diego as my vacation is over and I still haven't seen two of my classmates - LELAND STANDIFORD and GEORGE CHRISTENOT. Wait! Who are those two sailors surrounded by beautiful girls? Of course, it's Leland and George. I can see they're at their favorite pastime so I won't bother them. Dear Diary: That's the tale of the class of 57. We are all on our way to our own goals and dreams, allowing for a few setbacks and disappointments which we are all bound to have. I only hope I may see all my former classmates again in another ten years. We, the Senior Class of nineteen hundred and fifty seven, of Chester High School, City of Chester. County of Liberty, State of Montana, being of sound minds and sincere hearts and not acting under menace, fraud, or influence of any person, do hereby make public and declare this document: We the class of '57 Feeling on our way to heaven. Do now divide our property fair. And make you other children heir. With the hope that when we’re gone Thoughts of us will linger on. Under the guidance of heaven sent, We now make this our last will and testament. To the TEACHERS we leave a vote of thanks for the many things they've tried to teach us, whether we learned them or not. To the JUNIORS we leave the desks by the windows and that long awaited senior trip. To the SOPHOMORES we will all unclaimed articles, old laughs, jokes, and the power to see into the future what will be lost for you. To the FRESHMEN the questions, how, when, where, and why, that make good freshmen and better seniors. For our JANITOR, Walt Jensen, who has been with the school for 21 years, we leave the fifth desk in the fifth row in Study Hall stripped - of all screws! DENNIS CRAWFORD - willingly leaves his quiet ways to Jerry Shettel and John Schroer. MONTY NEALY'S ability to go steady and stay true he wills to Donna Kossel. To help Delores Eastman enjoy school. DOROTHY HAUGEN leaves her grownup ways and friendly smile. BEVERLY HANSON - wills her temper and cute little sneeze to Wild Bill. DUANE WRIGHT - leaves his beautiful legs to Mr. Vie. ARLETTA JENSEN - wills her dignity and winning ways to the freshman girls. DEANNA MEECH - leaves her ability to talk fast when in a tight spot to Gary Zorn, she also wills the BOYS' plate to anyone with two loose screws. LELAND STAND1FORD - wills his speedy ways and little feet to Jerry Quincy Albright. DALE STAUDACHER has decided to leave Marion long enough to wrestle with college. CAROL WOODS - wills her Colgate smile to Nancy Iverson, and upper plate to Terry Swank. JOSEPH RAUN1G - leaves his Scotch - excuse me - 1 should have said he's to Scotch to leave anything. BIRDIE WARD - wills her ability to get almost anything she wants to Jodine Thielman. PAT CUSHING'S flirty ways and good grades she wills to Dorothy Shettel. HANNAH KOLSTAD - leaves her sax appeal to Arlene Albright. COLLEEN BRESNAHAN - wills her blushing and her innumerable possibilities to Sharon Wright. Because JIM BERG had such good luck with his last house party, he wills his church key to his little sister, Willa. EUNICE MAHER - leaves her love of reading and her ability to accomplish to those students who have difficulty in completing assignments on time. GEORGE CHRISTENOT - leaves his ways with the teachers to Ronnie Sunderland. PEARL HEIMBIGNER - willingly leaves her crutches to whoever may need them but doesn't wish them on anyone. BETTY HARMON - wills her knack to get excused make-up slips to all the other hooky players. JIM SHETTEL is leaving Betty in ball and chain to make sure that nobody tries to steal her next year. Class of 1957 Signed, sealed, and delivered this 23rd day of May.
