Congratulations from your Home-Town Newspaper THE NEWS JOURNAL Seniors 3?reseiit inspiring S?erformance REST ASSURED Mr. Morlock, a mor.ey-mad grouch, refuses the marri- crge of his daughter, Mary, to Joe Lancond, son of a meat cutter. Luigi, Joe ' s papa, comes to talk for Joe but to no avail. A tight follows. Morlock lands a ihay- maker over Luigi ' s bad heart; Luigi konks out. But he receives permission to haunt Mr. Morlock, and this he does in a big way. In an effort to escape the ghoat Mr. Morlock takes an overdose of sleeping pills and he too konks out. He refuses to accept death; but when Luoifer comes to take him down yonder, he ' s con- vinced. The family proceeds with the burial and then plan tor the wedding. Suddenly Mr. Morlock sees the mistake he has made. All this was a dream. Needless to say, Mr. Morlock is a very happy man In his grati- tude he offers the biggest blow-out the town has ever seen.

Because of its excellence in developing stamina, Coach Faudree endorsed this sport as a conditioner for the basketball hope- fuls.

That ' s why we ' d like to tell you about our volleyball team. In one of the best performances ever staged by a volleyball team, Chester won the County Championship last year. From this team that beat LaFontaine, Urbana, and Lakelon, we have three veterans upon which to build for 1957. Pictured from left to right — Jim Alexander, Luther Allen, and Jerry Badskey.

Senior History _j.a«B) It was September 2, 1953. There was chalk in -the chalk tray. Five windows were open. The barometer was holding steady. A chilled silence hung from the light bulbs. The walls were scared stiff. The place — the Laboratory. The occupants — (the class of 1957. History was being made. The honorable Jim Shanahan was immediately sent to the chair — (as president, that is), lanene Myers, Nelson Zinsmeister, Gloria Hack and Karen Bollinger rode in on his coat tail as vice-president, secretary, treasurer, and reporter, respectively. Mr. Gerold Faudree and Miss Bernice Bowen were the ambassadors from Facultet. On September 18, these illustrious freshmen weat to Columbia City to put wheels on their shoe soles. The success of this venture was unquestionable. Then in April, longing again to see ice, the class attended the Ice Review at tihe Coliseum in Fort Wayne. As Sophomores this history-making class eloped with Mr. Scribner and Mrs. Lytle on September 1, 1954, to elect officers. Mr. Shanahan once again got the nod for president. NELSON ZINSMEISTER Prof. Zinsmeister has recently perfected Einstein ' s theory of relativity. Larry S:ackhouse, vice-president; Nelson Zinsmeister, secre- tary; Karen Bollinger, treasurer; and Mary Jane Merkle, re- porter, went to the brick house with the president. A s.kating party on October 7, was the ideal activity, after the inaugural ceremonies had subsided. Later on, a common interest in commemorating the American cowboy led to a class party at the Saddle Club on April 7. After 2,688 hours of deliberation the class ccmie back to CHS as Juniors and elected officers on August 31, 1955, After electing Larry the Red Stackhcuse as head of the govern- ment, the class hastily balloted for vice-president, secretary, treasurer, and reporter. Leland fieery. Nelson Zinsmeister, Gloria Hack and Sylvia Rieman respectively came through with winning margins. Mr. Rowe and Mrs. Amiss were chosen from among fifteen to be class sponsors. The legislative body lost no time in setting uip a day and place of adjournment. They adjourned to Rock Lake on September 6, 1955, for another skating party. The real strength of Hhe class, however, was soon to be tes.ted. Money had to be appropriated for the biennium. Major item — senior trip. The fish fry on November 12, 1955, broke all existing records. The class also launched conces- sion-selling at the home games. A Credit to the Family, on April 13, 1956, was a crediitable performance. Mrs. Ida Van Camp directed the production. An all-night party on April 27, and the class party at Jerry Badskey ' s further highligihted the year. The Class of 1957 was again called into session on Aug- ust 29, 1956, Thirtynthree seniors, realizing potential strength in an epoch making ame chose ex-president James A. Shan- ahan to be their fourth term president. It is rumored that ex- perience taught him the value of femiinine administrators. This is evidenced by the girls ' clean sweep of the other posi- tions: Judy Leonhard, vice-president; Mary Jane Merkle, secretary; Gloria Hack, treasurer; and Karen Bollinger, re- porter. Mr. Sm.iith and Mrs. Amiss sponsored the group. The class dance on September 28, was novel and un- precedented art Chester High. Seniors Rest Assured on the night of October 24. They showed their stuff by their second successfuil play — Mr. Richard Hostetler, direoting. With vivid images of the Wasihington-New York trip, these thirty-three versatile seniors conducted a magazine drive and sponsored a fish fry to raise money. The graduation exercises climaxed four years of work and fun at Chester High School. £ast ill and Testament I, Jim Alexander, do hereby bequeath my sharpness of mind to all geniuses, and also my leit-banded monkey wrenches to all who will attempt to use them.

Sunior 3}lay Maybe You ' re Wrong Often times young people fee! that they are neglected by their parents. The Wood ' s family, although typical in every respect, seems to have this unique problem. The children, with the help of some of the neighbor chi ' dren, finally decide to take matters in hand. They proceed to write letters of resignation to many of the clubs for their parents, including the withdrawal of Mr. Wood and Mr. Strong from the mayoralty race. Flowers and consolatory letters begin to arrive to the surprise of the parents; and so does Reverend Seagrove, who wishes to thank Mr. Wood for his $1,000 pledge to the organ fund. This not only surprises but also shocks Mr. Wood who know,3 nothing obout it. To add to Mr. Wood ' s annoyance, Wheezer prefers band over football. You see, Mr. Wood was a football star in his day. Needless to say family rela- tions become very strained. Out of this chaos appears a renewed undersjtanding of parents and children and their duties and responsibilities to each other. Incidentally Mr. Wood is elected mayor on a write-in vote. COMMIHEE CHAIRMEN Seated: Karen Bowen, Rosemary Miller, Jo Anne Landis. Standing: Mrs. Weddle.
