Class History In September. 1958, thirty-five typical verdant freshmen met in the halls of this high school. Officers chosen to lead the way were; Ted Ward, president; Betty Bur- gess, vice-president; and Rodney Shepherd secretary-treasurer. Under the supervision of Mr. Schroer they proceeded to sell pop and candy at football and basketball games to make money for big things ahead. Before the year was over James Mingee, Sally Duncan, and Donna Polk had left. When the class members met again the following fall, Charlotte Gilge and Karen Schroer were missing, but Rodney Eveland who had been with them in grade school re- joined them. Officers their second year were Lloyd Gillin, president; Myrna Shepherd, vice-president; and David Peppenger, secretary-treasurer. Advisor for '59 was Mr. Tokerude. Bunny (Karen Schroer) came hoppin in late to make their class count ring in at thirty-two. In September '60 four new faces appeared: Sandra Staudacher, Verna Albright, Jane Schwartz, and James Smith by name. Jerry Dolezal was their president; Edna Lalum, vice-president; and Retta Fritz, secretary-treasurer. Rodney Shepherd and Karen Schroer represented them in Student Council. Mrs. Paxton, their advisor, dir- ected the play One Foot in Heaven with a cast of fifteen. Wonderland by Night was the theme chosen for their Junior-Senior banquet and prom. Music was provided by the Happy Four from Choteau. Also, that year included the annual trip to Helena to learn about legislation. Class rings were chosen. Delegates for Boys' State were Rodney Shepherd and Jerry Dolezal; and for Girls' State, Myrna Shepherd and Carolyn Lehman represented their school in Bozeman. Sandra Staudacher and James Smith left them during that year.

Thirty-four cocky seniors met at Chester High School in the fall of '61. Larry Shaw was gone, but Pete Ward had come to take his place, bringing his friendly smile and moral support, too. David Peppenger took the wheel that final year with Peggy Mc- Dowell as his vice-president and Ginger Schultz in charge of records. Student Council representatives were Ted Ward and Myrna Shepherd. Ted Ward was Student Council president. Their senior sponsor was Mr. Kluksdahl. Freshmen were given a rousing initiation part, with delicious sandwiches and active grape juice. A day was spent in Havre taking senior pictures and selling an- nual ads. Carryl Waid and Linda Wevley came in the spring, making the graduation class total thirty-six. We were Young that Year was their final dramatic attempt, starring Larry Leigh- ton and Carolyn Goodbar. They followed suit of the Seniors before and sneaked out for a brief stay at Lake Blaine Resort. Seniors were honored guests at the Junior-Senior banquet and prom. The theme was Moon River and music was by the Bison Bluenotes. Baccalaureate was on May 20th and graduation three days after. Gerald Dolezal was Valedictorian with co-Sal- utatorians being Karen Schroer and Carolyn Lehman. The class flower was the Aster, and class colors were turquoise and silver. Those '62 Seniors left with the motto The road called Toil leads to the city called Success. ”
