Class History In August, 1962, we the class of 1966, started down the noisy halls of Chester High School in search of our diplomas. We had the largest class in high school consisting of 49 “bubble gummers . The leaders we chose were: Susan Christenot, president; Rlynn Rockman, vice president; Barbe Brown, secretary-treasurer; and Rick Dolezal, Stu- dent Council representative. Mr. Schroer was appointed to guide us through that ini- tiatory year as we were greeted by the impetuous and genial class of 1963. Throughout the sport seasons, we diligently sold pop and candy for our unforseen expenses. During the year we lost John Beal, Allen Shaw, and Sharon Glaze to other schools. As we started our sophomore year, we were disappointed to see that our class enroll- ment had dropped to 43. During the summer we lost Jim Harden, and Doug Kiern, but gained Diane Ellwein and Marlyn Harstad. Those chosen for our leaders were: David Morkrid, president; John Fritz, vice president; Rlynn Rockman, secretary-treasurer; and Rick Dolezal, Student Council representative. This year proved to be uniquely quiet (considering our class) and we concentrated on what we were sent to school for. As the year progressed, we lost two more members; Terri Holstine and JoAnne Stores. Our junior year we gathered in the study hall with our advisors Mrs. Twedt and Mrs. Myron and found our enrollment at 42. Three longtime friends and classmates, Susan Christenot, David Morkrid, and Darlene Israel, departed sending Dave Hofland, Randy McClanahan, and Loureen Turner to replace them. This year Five from our class found their names in lights. They were: Helen Wanken, president; Rick Dolezal, vice president, and Larry Halverson, secretary-treasurer. Being upperclassmen we were allowed two votes in the Student Council. Those who we chose to represent us were: Bobb Rust and Rlynn Rockman. The fall of that year we chose our class rings. A tal- ented cast showed their acting ability by presenting the play “Rest Assured” which was directed by Carl Nordwall. The big highlight of the year was the Junior-Senior prom and banquet. The theme was “Camelot” and the Kingsmen provided the music. Rlynn left us for two months when he attended the State Legislature as a page for the House of Representatives. Boy’s State and Girl’s State called for two boys and two girls with leadership qualifications. We answered by sending Lee Wigen and Larry Halverson to 26

Boy’s State and Anna Marie Hemmcr and Helen Wanken to Girl’s State. Alternates were: Rlynn Rockman, Leroy Green, Karen Dicmert and Barbe Brown. Roxene Miller from Juneau, Alaska spent three weeks with us and then returned to Alaska. We lost only one class member during the year. That was Dave Holland. At last we made it to the top. The long awaited year of seniority finally came. The halls of C.H.S. were invaded by 36 disease-ridden Seniors. The disease is quite common of all Seniors, it is called “senioritis”. The summer before this glorious year left us short of six classmates. They were: Karen Diemert, Lynda Massec, Allan Wickcns, Ray Kel- ley, Randy McClanahan, and Loreen Turner. Being the normal and sweet Seniors we are, we proceded to torture the innocent, green freshmen by having a welcome party for them in the gym. We soon found that, although these students were younger they had had their lessons in self-defense. By the end of the ordeal (couldn’t say whose ordeal, ours or the freshmen’s) we were well aware that our school would be in the hands of strong, able-bodied successors. John Fritz took the lead that year as our president with Rick Dolezal acting as vice president and Connie Romain played the part of our sec- retary-treasurer. Anna Hemmer and Larry Halverson represented us in the Student Council which was led by one of our own, Lee Wigen. Our Senior advisor was Mr. Krook. In October Anna Marie Hemmer and Lee Wigen were crowned Queen and King of the Carnival. Their attendants were: Candace Buker, John Fritz, Bobb Rust and Barbe Brown. Our final attempt at becoming actors and acctresses was made when we presented the play “The Mouse That Roared” under the fine direction of Mrs. Carol Springer. During the year we made the annual trip to Havre for senior pictures, as well as a trip to Northern Montana College. We were honored by the juniors at the Junior-Senior Banquet. Class Prophecy While looking through some old letters and newspaper clippings, I was quite pleased at how well I’d kept in touch with my graduating class, after 10 long years. Why just the other day I received an announcement from Candace Buker. She finally made it through her exclusive girl’s school. I was beginning to wonder, I remember her all too well in Trig and French. And then there is John Cicon about whom there was never any doubt. I see in the Liberty Co. Times where he’s the youngest nuclear physicist working for NASA with Alfred Stone as his assistant. John Fritz has been spending the past eight years in Germany and Virginia Woods has just returned from China. I would love to go to New York City to hear their great debate entitled “The Superior Race”. Louis Hull and Diane Ellwein decided to stay in Chester to improve the physical fit- ness program. Louis is the head coach at the high school and Diane is his faithful assist- ant P.E. instructor. Lynda and Lonna Lybeck haven’t drifted too far from home either. They’re the proud new owners of the “Small and Tall Shoppe” in Great Falls. Donnie Schaefer has settled down on his father’s farm north of Chester and keeps the school enrollment up. Karen Gilbert managed to abandon her carefree Senior days and has her own twirling clinic with all the students having the same last name as her. Lee Wigen has become the coach of his own professional basketball team, The Sen- ior Rejects”. Roger Shepherd likes to use the washing machine so well that he chose to be Lee’s manager by profession. Connie Romain reached her ambition of becoming a veterinarian. She’s set up prac-
