SUPERINTENDENT HEROLD R. COMPTON TO THE SENIORS — WITH LUCK Congratulations, Chilton High School Seniors, on your successful completion of twelve years of formal education. It is my sincere wish that your time at Chilton High School has been pleasant and enjoyable, but more than that, I hope that you have acquired the necessary knowledge and skills that will help you face your new problems with the confidence and will to solve them as one should who has a well developed character. It goes without saying that you will discover that your formal education has not given the answers to the many problems that you will soon confront. This is as it should be, because more than anything else, I hope that your school has taught you how to think and not what to think. Your success will now depend on how you have mastered your preliminary work and have acquired the character to face adversity without fear. Your parents have sacrificed to give you the opportunity to complete your High School education. They believed that this training was necessary to insure your success. In giving you this advantage, they also shouldered you with a responsibility to work unceasingly to see that your community, state and country benefit from your efforts. I should like to say that your teachers have confidence that you will be as dependable in all of your out of school responsibilities as you have been in school. In conclusion, I want to wish you the best of luck and assure you that luck is mostly hard work, but if you can keep your present determination always to do your best, success will be yours. 4 HEROLD R. COMPTON

[j zaLaation We, the class of 1953, dedicate this Tigerette to the head of the English Department, Miss Alice Schipper. In her five years of service at Chilton High School she has given a great deal to the school and pupils. She has not only counseled us in the library but also as a forensic coach. English and Latin teacher. Even though Latin and English may be looked upon as uninteresting subjects, she had a way of putting the courses across in an interesting and enjoyable manner. She has also helped students bring back many high ratings in the local and state forensic contests. One of Miss Schipper’s biggest assets is that of making friendship with her pupils. Every year graduates come back to see her and con- sult her on their further education and life work. She never turns a student away when they ask help on some subject whether it pertains to school or to activities out of school. Her warm smile and friendly hello are a welcome sight to anyone by whom she is greeted. Though she has helped others achieve much. Miss Schipper possesses other qualifications, including a sense of humor and excellent dramatic abilities. As a teacher she is the modest, willing, ever helpful teacher who means much to this school and the lives of the students. So to you, Miss Schipper, we dedicate this Annual as a small token of our gratitude. 3

MR. GORDON'S MESSAGE Dear Seniors, Another year is drawing to a close and soon another group of young men and women will have finished their high school days. The members of the class of ’53 should keep this one thought ever before them as they engage in new activities — Keep Growing. The greatest thing in life is to function at your highest possibilities instead of at your lowest. No matter what your condition of life may be, no matter what your work becomes, no matter where you live, if you are ever reaching up, mentally and morally, reaching up in both thought and effort for something better, striving continually for something higher, you will be happy and successful. Remember that your education has not ended, but only begun; if you continually look for means of making yourself a better person, you may be sure that your high school course has been worthwhile. Best wishes, A. W. GORDON BOARD OF EDUCATION o
