We heard the sound of music sweet. This orchestra has style. And leader of the gala group McAuley with charming smile. Who's that cute trick with flaming locks. About to entertain? It must be Sandy with a dance And songs like Frankie Laine. Woo-woo! Garcon we have, to show Us to our evening's place. We're sure we've known him hitherto; Why, that is Denis' face. Our table is in vantage point; We see all clientele. Perhaps we'll see some other friends. And learn if they’ve done well. The beauty, in the corner there, A veternarian is. That's Betty—and besides she owns Two Black Angus ranches. Unorthodox and Bohemian A real Beat-nick, we'd say, Greg's written MOTHER GOOSE anew And also stories fay. That's not a rainbow that you see. Just entering the door. New Zolotone for fingernails Wild Bill's brought to the fore. TV's Wyatt Earp outdid himself And flubbed a draw, 'tis said. Which made it fine for little Dan; He fills outlaws with lead. Uranium, Alaskan kind. Made Dallas a tycoon. With him he has Eskimo bride He woo'd 'neath northern moon. Who hobbles by with bandages. Black eye. and tousled hair? That's Dick--dare-devil and spill long. Just back from some big fair. You have. I'm sure, tried the new treat. Popcorn, red, white and blue; The patriotic perfector? Our own Midori, 'tis true. Now who is that with large party. Impressive as can be? The famous playboy. Bob Mattson, Whose bill will be a G. Linda is here alone tonight; A lawyer now is she. Her present task, in court, we hear. Is keeping husband free. That's Gary Standi ford, of course. In “pokey now he sits. No fine he’ll pay for speeding in His Caddy Biarritz! Few classes boast two vets, we know. And Chester needs not two; So Betty doctors cows out here; Gail's work is at Bronxs zoo. Someone to get the facts all down. For local publication. Is ace reporter, Duane Zorn; He covers this occasion. Remember Marilyn's hair-do's The number that she tried? She learned a special for each one Of thirteen in her tribe. A fancy chef this place must keep. That many hours has spent Upon this most delicious food. You're right; it's Gary Wendt. And now it's time to tell to you That Marion's really Mimi. Her salary for French movies Is really something dreamy. Black magic always was Dot's dish. Though not with birds or roses; In Vienna she proved to all She's expert at hypnosis. That is cxir class in quick review. Surprised you. didn't we? I'll bet we turned out better than You thought we’d ever be!

On Sept. 5, 1955, 34 Freshmen started the long road through Chester High in search of a diploma. Our leaders were Linda Kammerzell, president; Denis Freeland, vice president; and Bob Pettapiece, secretary. Miss Kapuster was our advisor. Our membership was: Henry Borchen, Dick Boston, Dick Burrows, Dallas Denter, Denis Freeland, Bill Gardner, James Guinn, Dan Harmon, Ray Hemmer, Gary Johnson, Bill Johnson, Tom Lakey, Bob Mattson, Bob McAuley, George McGuire, Harold McGuire, Russell Meech, Don Overland, Bob Petta- piece, James Potter, Don Price, Keith Shaw, Gary Standiford, Gary Wendt, Kenny Werner, Duane Zorn, Gail Johnson, Linda Kammerzell, Betty Lakey, Edna Phillips, Marion Standiford, Sandra Swank, Judy Swor, Billie Violett, and Judy Wigmore. In Sept. 1956, we had completed part of our search for we were now sophomores. We had lost Henry Borchert, Dick Boston, Bill Gardner, James Guinn, Gary Johnson, Tom Lakey, Harold McGuire, Don Overland, Jim Potter. Don Price, Kenny Werner, and Judy Swor. New faces were those of Gale Christe- not. Gene Darling, Betty Adams, Sandra Vann, Marilyn Schroer, and Midori Kawanishi. Later in the year Gene, Betty Adams, Sandra Vann, and Judy Wigmore left. Our class leaders then were Betty Lakey, president; Billie Violett, vice president; and Sandra Swank, secretary. Our class advisor was Mr. Haugen. In the fall of 1957 we were juniors and almost to the end of our search. Class officers were Russell Meech, president; George McGuire, vice president; and Linda Kammerzell, secretary. Miss Balls was our advisor. During that year we were very active. We ordered our class rings, and put on our play Swing Fever in the fall. In the spring we gave the banquet and prom in honor of the seniors. September 1958 found us on the last lap of our search, for we were now Mighty Seniors. We lost Russell Meech, and gained Greg Feig and Ken Millete. Our leaders were Sandra Swank, president; Denis Freeland, vice president; Duane Zorn, secretary; and Mr. Pearson, our class advisor. In September we staged the freshman initiation party. Having our pictures taken was the big event of October 6. In February we saw the Legislature. Our play was in March with sneak day, and the prom coming in April. In the last week of May our long search was completed. Baccalaureate was held on Sunday the 24th, and we received our Diplomas on the 28th. Pretend we are in future far; Let's say at least ten years; Within ten years we find a change A nightclub now is here; The Fifty-niner is its name It's Ray and Pet's career. Our class has met again at home To share it's joys and tears. Dear friends we're gathered here tonight Old memories to renew We'll learn the hopes and dreams that were And those that did come true. On entering the ornate door. By greeter we were met. Dressed all in blue with hair so neat The door man, George McGuire? You bet!

Is)iff We, the Senior Class of 1959, of C.H.S., being insincere in heart and under the influence of other people, do bequeath and donate in our last will and testament such useless things as follows: To Mr. Schroer, we will all our empty coke bottles and cookie wrappers that are left in the desks in the back row in Room C. We leave our fond memories of the Commercial Room study hall to Mr. Pearson. To Mrs. Paxton we leave all the English she learned us, cause we ain't gonna use it no how. Three certain senior girls will Mr. Kluksdahl all broken chemistry equipment and leave to future chem- istry enrollees the ability to cause a commotion. Mrs. Flynn is to receive a car, other than a Volkswagon, to tear around Shelby in. For Mr. Glaim there is a collection of GOOD jokes and we HOPE he uses them. The junior class will need Senioritis, to survive English, so we hereby designate that they shall be- come heirs of all we have left. We do wish we could leave them a Sneak Day, but that is the way the Bongo Bingoes. We assign to the sophomores the right to have the same kind of fun we experienced after our junior play. The freshmen will be recipients of our ability to ask more intelligent questions than just how, when, where, ” and why. Gale Christenot allots his quiet ways and nice manners to Marvin Sunderland. Dallas Denter wills his ability to laugh to Sharon Ward. Midori Kawanishi willingly leaves, --taking everything she has with her. Bob Mattson bequeaths his title of Lover Boy to Bob Hutchison, and wills Pat to anyone who will take her to Joplin. Duane Zorn donates all slightly used toothpicks which he has deposited in and about the halls of C. H. S. to anyone who wants them. Dick Burrows wills his good grooming, daily shaves, and weekly haircuts to Dick Violett. Sandy Swank's pleasing personality is to be Sharon Gummer's legacy. Betty Lakey wishes her eyes and smile to go to any other girl wishing to suffer the consequences. Marion Standiford leaves behind her good name and reputation so she can have the same fun of getting it again. Ray Hemmer wills his extra weight to Lance Lambott for football. Linda Kammerzell’s shaving cream fights along with the manager of the Havre Hotel, are gifts to any- one who wants trouble. Gary Standiford gives his ability to go with just one girl to Butch Berg. Denis Freeland offers a blond sophomore (Hereford) cowgirl to anyone who will have her. Greg Feig releases his detention study hall desk to Ronnie Greer and Joel Fenger. Marilyn Schroer bestows her future plans upon Carolyn Goodbar and Ed Green. George McGuire relinquishes his ability to go steady and still play the field to Gerry Heikkila, who is catching on fast. Bob McAuley wills his ability to study to Gary Zorn, who needs it. Bob Pettapiece's height is his gift to Don Keith and his customized car will henceforth be John Schroer's possession. Danny Harmon wills his self-inflicting guns to Helen Stores and hopes she uses them. Dorothy Shettel willingly and gladly leaves behind her chair beside George Berg in chorus to any other unlucky girl. Billie Violett bequeaths her nerve and ability to have fun any night of the week to future senior girls.
