Ploss Chester, Montana 1968 Coyote Chester High School Chester, Montana Co-Editors Cheryl Kulpas Gail Good Contents ADMINISTRATION AND FACULTY SENIORS FAVORITES ORGANIZATIONS AND ACTIVITIES 2 In Memory Of Two Classmates The Senior Class of 1968 dedicates the 1968 Coyote to the late Jenny Keith and Kenneth Brady, our friends and classmates. Ken died May 29, 1966, in an airplane accident. He had just finished his sophomore year. He will be long remembered for his athletic ability and his partic- ipation in school events. Jenny died from injuries received in a car accident April 7, 1968. She was just finishing her senior year and was a very active student. Jenny will be remembered as being a scholastic leader of her class. As we dedicate this annual to Jenny and Ken, we are reminded of the uncertainties we face from day to day. It challenges us to do our utmost to make good use of each day. In their memory we dedicate this poem: There comes a time for all of us When we must say good-bye But faith and hope and love and trust Can never, never die, Although the curtain falls at last Is that a cause to grieve? The future's fairer than the past If only we believe And trust in God's eternal care— So when the Master calls Let's say that life is still more fair Although the curtain falls. Kenneth Brady 3 Administration And Faculty Superintendent's Message To the graduation Class of 1968, I would like to express congratulations for attainment of this level of edu- cation and my most sincere wishes for the future. 1 hope that you have found your years spent in the Chester School System not only educational but also in- spiring for your future vocation. Your graduation does not bring an end to your education for future life, but has only been a base or stepping stone to the different areas of society, where each of you will play an important role in its specialized makeup. You will have memories, both good and bad, of the past 12 years of school; however, I hope that you will use the experience received hereto help obtain the goals which each of you have set. The motto which you selected as a class, With the ropes of the past, we will ring the bells of the future , expresses the need for you to make use of past experiences, but only as a foundation for the future. I hope each and every one of you are willing to use your acquired knowledge and abilities to accomplish your desires to the fullest extent. SUPERINTENDENT CON E.

To our class mater, the only high school which has been home to us, we will our lasting thanks and expression of appreciation. When The night of the Junior-Senior Banquet, Kay had the extraordinary ability of looking into the future. Ann asked her to foretell what the Class of '68 would be doing in the year 1988. In her vision she saw a large city called Chester. She could see a woman which turned out to be PAT LALUM working in the slums of Chester--Joplin. GARY HOCHBERGER, entangled in a maze of paper tape, was the new Depot Agent. Gary pushed the wrong button and his IBM machine went completely haywire. DENNIS ROMAIN was next to be seen as an astronaut- -he managed a rehabilitation center on the Moon for all the relocated Hippies from the planet Earth. LOREECE WILL owned and operated a Jiffy Car Wash located near the Chester High School, especially designed forthe convenience of allteachers-- it was always open 24 hours a day during the week of Halloween. Looking further into the future, Kay saw SUSAN YURMAN in the depths of Tiber Lake in a water capsule. Suz was an aqua-marine scientist spending most of her time studying the marine life of Tiber Lake. IRVA JEAN BROWN worked on the LBJ ranch in Texas, where she developed the biggest breed of beef cattle in the world by crossing an elephant with a Hereford. She was then known as the biggest bull shipper in the world. LARRY HANSON, then the well-known Reverend Hanson, gave sermons daily at the Holy Roller Church 27. His inspiring sermon for that day was, The Jolting Consequences of Drinking Pink 7-Up. RON GROSECLOSE worked as chief Forest Ranger at Haystack Butte, beside him was his charming little laas, BONNIE with their six or was it nine little Grosecloses. BOB HEMMER, lost in a maze of shapely figures, enjoyed his position as the new Math Professor at Chester Community College. MARY JO WOODS was Nixon's campaign manager. As you can guess Nixon was still trying for the Presidency, and as his right hand woman, Mar) Jo had a good chance for the presidency herself, for Nixon was nearly 70. HELEN AABERGE, the world's most famous Ballet Dancer, traveled the world over. She gained her fame from her gracefulness and nimbleness on her toes. WES JEPPESEN, one of the most unhappy members of the Senior Class of 1968, owned a huge sheep ranch in the Sweetgrass Hills until an oil field was discovered on his ranch. Oil was gushing up everywhere and it turned all his sheep black. ELAINE HARSTAD designed and created the most beautiful bird sanctuary in North America at Sanford Park. For her untiring efforts, Lady Bird Johnson rewarded Elaine with the task of carrying out Lady Bird's Beautification Program. GARY LAYTON, a very busy scientist, invented many things--some of his better known accomplishments were: He took the nicotine out of cigarettes, he took the slip out of banana peels, and he also succeeded in taking the stink out of the sewer lagoon in Chester. WAYNE WICKUM S dream came true for he was a famous architect. One of his greatest feats of architecture was the construction of a tall tower with a huge red apple on the very top, built in remembrance of his teachers of 1968. LOIS and SUSAN ANDERSON were honored with the well-paying, life-time job of keeping this apple polished. 20 Our Future EDIE HAINLINE owned a very popular manicure and massage parlor. All the business men of Chester would come there for relief of muscular tension and to soothe their tired, aching feet. SHERILL SWANK was Edie's assistant and always found herself in great demand for her famous manicures and pedicures. LILA GLEE, an ambassador of good will, was a personal guest of Ho Chi Minh's. She succeeded in bringing about peace in Viet Nam by using her influential feminine charms. CHERYL KULPAS and NEOMA RUDE worked very diligently in their vineyard situated on the banks of Tiber Lake. Neoma stamped the grapes with her husband, Butch; and Cheryl tasted and tested the wine with her husband, Dennis. JIM JOHNSTON went to Hollywood and became a star overnight. He returned to Chester where he produced some movies with his famous wife Elizabeth Taylor. Unlike Frank Sinatra, Jim went for the older women. Next Kay saw many Herefords grazing near a rambling ranch house situated close to the Sweetgrass Hills. The owner of this rolling Hereford ranch was BOB DAFOE and his wife GAIL and their seven children. A magnificent heart-shaped building came into vision. This building was owned by MIKE LAIRD. The billboard reads, Mikey’s International Playboy Club, Exclusive. CHUCK DEERING just returned from a four-week hunting trip in Wyoming, and to the surprise of everyone, he brought back a big mother bear. NANCY STANDIFORD got married and made her home with her husband, Lyle, in Rudyard. She tried to keep busy by babysitting her neighbors' children. TYRONE ROCKMAN spent several months studying with the great Maharishe Mahesh Yogi in India. Tyrone returned to Chester as a Guru himself. People from all over the world came to Chester to meditate with the famous Ty Guru. ANN ELLWEIN owned the biggest horse ranch in the state of Montana. She made her ranch this big from her work-power, her ten kids and by selling her large, grade double-A eggs to the local Joplin Market. KAY DIEMERT owned and operated her own Lingerie Shop. She especially catered to ladies with problem figures and was well-known for designing padding for women who needed it and women who didn’t. Then In August, 1964, we the class of '68 entered the halls of CHS to begin our first year. We chose for leaders Dennis Romain, President; Bob Hemmer, Vice President, and Bonnie Laas, Secretary Treasurer; representing us in Student Council was Kay Diemert. Showing us the way were our advisors Mr. Schroer and Mr. Smith. We spent our spare time in the concession stands at football and basketball games. We proved ourselves worthy Freshmen by successfully defending ourselves against the Seniors at initiation. The next year we returned to our classes to find a few familiar faces missing. Gone from our class were Carol Boyer, Jim Keith, Kay Diemert, and Dawn Albright. But we gained Ken Kultgen and Gerry Beasley. Officers were: Larry Hanson, President; Cheryl Kulpas, Vice President; and Marge Symms, Secretary Treasurer. Voicing our opinions in Student Council was Bob Hemmer. Presiding over us were Mr. Nordwall and Mrs. Springer. Tragedy struck our class the last week of school when our beloved classmate, Ken Brady, was killed in an airplane accident. Our Junior year was filled with surprises and excitement. We lost a few of our classmates when Ken Kultgen, Bonnie Laas, Duffy McKelvey, Marge Symms, Bill Jacobson, and Gerry Beasley left. Two familiar faces returned when Kay Diemert and Jim Keith re-entered CHS. Leading us through this trying year were: Cheryl Kulpas, President; Larry Hanson, Vice President; and Gail Good, Secretary Treasurer. We chose for Student Council Representatives, Kay Diemert and Bob Hemmer. Keeping a watchful eye over us were Mr. Smith and Mrs. Spicher. We attempted being actors when we put on the play, A Feudin' Over Yonder, directed by Mr. Nordwall. Adding to the excitement was our trip to Helena to see the State Legislature, or at least that was the purpose of the trip. We enter- tained the Seniors at our Junior-Senior Banquet and presented them with a fabulous prom entitled Three Coins in a Fountain. Boy's State Delegates were Bob Hemmer and Ron Groseclose. To Girl’s State went Lila Glee with Cheryl Kulpas as alternate. We entered the last year of High School prepared for anything. Leading us through this last year are: Lila Glee, President; Ann Ellwein, Vice President; and Gail Good, Secretary Treasurer. Speaking our piece in Student Council are Kay Diemert, Ron Groseclose, and Bob Hemmer. Ruling over us are Mr. Krook, and Mr. Browning. Leaving us were Beverly Harden, Colleen Erickson, Arnie Woods, and Jim Keith. We gained back Bonnie Laas and a few new classmates. Among them are: Edie Hainline, Chuck Deering, and Bryce Rockman. We again turned actors under the able direction of Mr. Browning. The play, The Groom Said No, was a brilliant success. The Juniors honored us at the Junior-Senior Banquet and presented us with our last formal dance of our high school days at the Prom entitled Blue Hawaii. Our hearts are deeply saddened by the tragic loss of a dear and beloved classmate, Jenny Keith. Life goes on, but we Seniors will truly miss her wonderful smile and great personality. We chose Pastel Yellow and Light Blue as our class colors with the Mum as our class flower. Our motto is With the Ropes of the Past we will ring the Bells of the Future. 22 Juniors, disciplined!
