Linda Tuckerman, so quiet and petite, Always looks so sharp and neat.' Sherman, so handsome and manly, Someday plans on having a family. Rose Marie, so tall and slender, With a lot of brains to college should send her. Sarah with her sparkling smile, Someday will waltz down the aisle. Dorothy will hair of brown, Is never seen wearing a frown. William with ability great, Should have an interesting fate. Doris with eyes of brown, With Robert is always found. Darlene with her secretarial skill, Someday an office job will fill. Loyal and Ruth Ann Powers soon will be man and wife, They then will be together the rest of their life. Elaine whose interest is not in books, Will someday rate among the best of cooks. With Roger you should not try to compete, Because as a salesman he could not be beat. Floyd with his lessons does not heed, With his hot rod sure does speed. Marion with Dorothy always at his side, Hopes to have her someday as his blushing bride. Jeanette Greenlee who is a dear, Plans on Nursing as a career. Marie an efficient housewife will be, When Merle Smith comes home from the sea. Bill Dopp is good at basketball, Although he is not very tall. Of all the books, Barbara reads only the best, She has no interest in the rest. Vonda with her figure so slim, Likes to play in the gym. Betty with her witty remarks, In many experiences she embarks. If one with a Winsome personality you want to find, Clarice is the girl you should have in mind.

l CLASS HISTOR Y Going back a few years, to 1953 to be exact, twenty-six members entered the freshman class at Chesterfield-Dover School. Of course to get into high school we had to be initiated, but paid the Freshmen back the following year. Rose Marie Smith left to attend Lyons, leaving us with a total of 25. In our Sophomore year to boost our class funds we had a few bake sales, and sold initials. Some of the sophomores had the pleasure of serving at the Junior-Senior Banquet. We ordered our class rings in the spring to be received the following fall. Rose Marie Smith came back from Lyons to join us again. Robert Scott decided he would rather work than start the Junior year with us. Joan and Everett Arnold left us to attend Swanton. We started our Junior year off with a big surpriseg we received our class rings. Everyone was very pleased and proud to receive them. Maybe a little skeptical, we presented our first play, Beans for Breaskfast , on March 23, 1956. We also presented a second play, A Boy Named Beulah. They were both a great success. We were very thrilled and excited to be able to give the Seniors their banquet. We chose the theme Moonlight and Roses . Immediately after the banquet we had a prom for those who wished to attend. Jeanette Greenlee came at the beginning of our senior year making the total 24 members. On September 24 we had our Senior pictures taken at Adrian, and we received them the first of December. Our Senior play, Katz Whiskers , was a huge success. The proceeds from our plays, annual, magazines, coat check, letters, pens, jello, cake raffles and bake sales furnished the money for our Senior trip to Colonial Virginia. The following members have attended our school twelve years: Clarice Bachman, Barbara Buehrer, Bill Dopp, Marie Eby, Floyd Hite, Roger Kibbee, Doris Reckner Robert Wiebeck, Linda Tuckerman, Sarah Schoonover, Sherman Sparks, Robert Wentz, Elaine Lemon and Margaret Willeman. Class Colors--Blue and White Flower--Pink Carnation Motto-- Today's Youth is Tomorrow's Hope Sponsor--Mr. Gwynn Jeanette Greenlee Doris Reckner Linda Tuckerman I .
