The CRE W It was hard work to launch the S. S. Ravelings but we, the crew, enjoyed every minute of it. Into the frame work of this sturdy ship has been recorded a reflection of you and your school. The long hours of hard work we spent, with their many head- aches, searching for just the right picture and the best words were all done with the knowledge and hope that our efforts, though not perfect by any means, would be appreciated. Enjoy this book, have your friends auto- graph it, and laugh twenty years from now at what we wore and sang and said — for that is the fun of looking back. May it help you also to recapture some of the dreams, the ideals you indulged in while here, and may you realize which of those ideals were true, right, and worthwhile. This is your book — it is the dreams, thoughts, and me- mories which come to you each time you open it that will make this annual complete since we could only hope to give you in part a record of one of the most eventful years in your life. Every member of the class of 1953 contri- buted his or her part to this launching of the S. S. Ravelings, from the time of the first pic- ture and the first line of copy to the time that finis was written on the efforts. There was a iob for all and all responded. We ' ve tried to make this, our annual, one of the best ever launched by the Panther Steamship Lines. We hope you will like it.

The class had two parties, one being a skating party at Columbia City under the spon- sorship of Mr. Billing and Miss Bowen. The class elected as their leaders the following people: Bob Schumaker, President; Gerry Barker, Vice-President; Barbara Schroll, Reporter; Deloris Greer, Reporter; and Lois Hapner, Secretary-Treasurer. The following year twenty-nine ambitious looking pupils entered Chester High. During that year the class enjoyed two parties. One was a weiner roast at the back of the school house. The sponsors for that year were Mrs. Lytle and Mr. Scribner. The class elected the following as their leaders: Barbara Schroll, President; Ronald Zim- pelman, Vice-President; Wendell Meyer, Reporter; Janet Watson, Secretary; and Doris Bucher, Treasurer. In 1951, twenty-nine juniors entered school looking forward to the many extra activities that take place dur- ing the junior year. During that year we eagerly took the responsibilities of putting on a fish fry and selling at the ball games, under the sponsorship of Mr. Hults, Mr. Metz- ger, and Miss Layman. The class gave Mother is a Fresh- man with Miss Eshelman as director. The officers for that year were as follows: Larry Bolinger, President; Deloris Greer, Vice-President; Alice Brubaker, Secretary; George Zinsmeister, Treasurer; and Tom Coon, Reporter. On September 2, 1952, twenty-eight mischievous schol- ars trudged wearily into Chester to make up the class of 1953. Through determination and hard work new records were established. Magazine sales exceeded all other records previously set. The play, Our Miss Brooks, was given before a packed gymnasium and directed by Miss Eshelman. The class sponsored a fish fry which also made money for the trip. Under the supervision of Mr. Smith and Miss Layman, the Ravelings was produced. Sym- bolizing the end of our school career baccalaureate and commencement closed our senior year with many pleas- ant memories and experiences.

Senior Prophecy Mr. and Mrs. Smith were taking their vacation on the S. S. Ravelings, an ocean •jner. Whom should they find as the crew but the CLASS OF ' 53! He remembered them from his government class. They were met by the chief steward who turned out to be Dean Reber. He showed them to their cabin. Just as they entered, they met Alice Mae Brubaker who had fin- ished re-decorating the cabin, especially for them. Mr. Smith told his wife that Alice Mae must have received her training in Mrs. Lytle ' s home economics class on home de- corating back at CHESTER. While they were getting settled in their cabin, they thought they heard a noise on the outside. The cause of the noise was soon known. It seems as though Larry Bolinger and Paul Graham were fighting over the tasks of washing port holes and scrubbing the deck. Since Paul was still so small, he ended up scrubbing the deck. They finished unpacking and went for a walk on deck. Mr. Smith suddenly felt a little sick, so he and Mrs. Smith went to the ship ' s doctor. The doctor was none other than Tom Coon assisted by Gail Ritenour, R.N. When they again reached the deck, they sat down. Along came two girls talking about the first and second mates. It turned out to be Janet Watson and Barbara SchrolL The first mate was Wendell Meyer and the second mate was Marcus Frieden. It seems those four are still going together. The former Gerry Barker and her famous husband strolled past followed by the form- er Joyce Parson and her husband. Just then the chef, Larry Baker, announced dinner. Mr. Smith couldn ' t imagine where Larry had learned the art of cooking. Char- lotte Smith was the dietitian for the ship. The waiters were Larry Frye and James Beans Clark. After dinner a commotion was heard off to the right. The Smiths hurried over and to their dismay, saw Gerald Benson in the water. He was soon rescued by Ernest Cripe, the lifeguard. Gerald never could ride in anything but his Ford! Mr. Smith suddenly decided he needed some candy, so leaving his wife standing alone, off he went. The candy girl turned out to be Lois Hapner. She got started on her illustrious career at the dime store back at North Manchester. As they approached the deck, they met the captain and what a surprise to see Bob Schumaker. Of course Bob always liked authority and what was a better way to show it than being captain of a ship! He in- formed them that his private secretary was the former Norma Frey. Since her husband was in the army she took to the sea. That evening they went to the theater. On the screen flashed a picture of Bonnie Wiley, Sweetheart of the Navy. Seems as though Herman was in the Navy! At the intermis- sion, the singer, Larry Morford, appeared. He received most of his training at Chester by being in the boys ' glee club and mixed chorus. Just as they were leaving the theater, an- other voice greeted their ears. The athletic dirctor LeRoy Young just kicked out the star of the Zollner Pistons, Max Tyner. It seems that he thought Max could not play basket- ball. The boat pulled into a small port to pick up more pssengers the next morning. As they watched, they saw George Zinsmeister, wealthy farmer, and his family get on board. George always said he learned a lot in that last period agriculture class at Chester. That morning after breakfast, they sat on deck and along came that famous artist, Rosealene Farley. Mr. Smith remembered her as the art editor of the Chester Chatter. Just as they were about to leave for their cabin, Ronnie Zimpelman came running past them. He was trying to get away from Captain Schumaker because he had been the chief instigator in Marilyn ' s being a stowaway on board. He was still trying to take her with him everywhere he went. Mr. Smith told his wife that the CLASS OF ' 53 hadn ' t changed a bit. They were still working together and having fun doing it. 22 Passengers of Deck ' ' B ' ' Juniors OFFICERS Patty Burris, Treasurer; Patsy Walgamuth, Reporter; Ronnie Kreider, Vice-President; Diane Landis, Secretary; Jim Baker, President.

Someone like Miss Brooks has a part in everyone ' s life. She is a most human and delightful English teacher, and whether she likes it or not, involved in almost anything that goes on at school. The students love her but take advantage of her. The parents and members of the community behave as though they owned her 24 hours per day. When she is asked to direct the school play, things start happening and don ' t quiet down until the final curtain. Junior Play Ginney hopes her past on a quiz program will be a closed book now that they have moved to a small town. She won ' t be a teacher ' s pet and get an A-|- on every paper. Beef, a good football player, but dumb in classwork, decides to help her in ,,„ ,  1 riM Tk f  history.
