A guest at CHS would find the hundreds of faces walking along in the crowded halls and listening intently in the classes slightly frightening because there are so many. Yet if a guest would take the unfamiliar faces, not as strangers, but as individuals he would find these stu- dents wishing to achieve academic success during their years at CHS. From Freshmen to Seniors a guest will find that the student ' s life is highlighted by different events. The thought of entering high school is just as exalting for the Freshmen as the thought of graduation is to the Seniors. These students take their school life fairly seriously, although for most, a social event is looked forward to more than a test. As a guest becomes more acquainted with the stu- dents as individuals he will find their particular tastes different in different subjects. Yet every stu- dent, whether he is an individual standing alone or part of a group, holds his own opinion of the school. Whether It be good or bad, influenced or a product of self-thought the student ' s school years depend on his opinion of the school system as a whole. Through contact with the world presented to them in their school, the students build for themselves a bet- ter life during their high school years. CHS Friends

Seniors As leaders of the 1964-65 school yeor. Seniors or- ganized themselves in preparation for their lost year at CHS. Even before the school year began. Seniors started class activities by sponsoring a car wash and pop bottle drive. The proceeds from these projects went to buying supplies for the Senior girls to paint Troy Field ' s bleachers. When classes started in September, Seniors elected class officers to orgonize their business and activities. Loren Long was elected president with Linda Dolton serving under him as vice-president. Candy Cooper and Birdie Carmody kept the Senior class statistics in order os secretary and treasurer. With three years of experience to back them up. Seniors built their fourth float for the CHS home- coming. The theme We ' re Expecting a Victory was reproduced as a huge stork bringing home the vic- tory. Working in cooperation with the class representatives, the officers directed meetings at which the committee chose announcements, and caps and gowns in prep- aration for graduotion. The class flower, a red rose, class colors, red and white, and class motto were voted upon by the whole class. While anticipating the possibility of a Senior class trip. Seniors sponsored various fund-raising activities. Some of these were a pop bottle drive and a sweat- shirt sale. Seniors will always remember and be remembered for their traditional senior parties. While remember- ing that graduation will be the last time the class can be together. Seniors strengthen their friendships by being together at class parties. Preparing for their first year at college, many Sen- iors took speed-reading and other courses needed for col lege entrance. Other students followed through with business or general courses. Even through all the preparation for future life. Sen- iors con hardly forget their four years at CHS. They especially remember the new additions to CHS life. The Goldsborough Memorial Building, the football, wrestling, swimming, and golf teams were all merged to become port of CHS. Not a first at CHS, but a third, Pilar Rodriguez, ex- change student from Equodor, brought to CHS Sen- iors the feeling of how far-reaching their future lives would be. Being 197 strong, the class of ' 65 will leave CHS with fine impressions of America ' s youth and take with them a happiness that will be recalled as long as Chesterton High School remains a part of them. 26
