This momentum carried through the morning hours up to the pep assembly. The competitive spirit was running high through the students and faculty at the assembly. Many examples of talent and ingenuity were displayed by all classes when performing their skits. The 11 Little Indians dramatized by the Juniors won 1st place. Teacher participation was highlighted by the pieeating contest and the cheerleaders. Mr. Skarda, Mr. Field, Mr. VandeVoort, Mr. Mauk, and Mr. Hartman attempted to devour a pie in the least amount of time. Mr. Hartman, eating a chocolate pie, walked away with the honors. Displaying much coordination and enthusiasm were the faculty cheerleaders: Mrs. Gillig, Miss Kozlowski, Mrs. Watry, Miss Thorton, and Mrs. Nortemann. The colorfully painted signs added to the decor of the gym with the Seniors winning the poster award. All classes really got into the pep assembly through competitive yelling. The gym was alive with many voices throughout the cheering. The Juniors were judged to be the loudest class. n right; The 1976 Homecoming Court is: back.

Expanded parade adds appeal Held under perfect weather conditions the parade added to the Homecoming festivities. More units were featured in this years parade as community involvement was stressed. The Homecoming game proved to be disappointing as the Tigers hopes for an upset were squashed by the Kewaunee Indians. The final score was 33-0. Halftime was highlighted by the performance of Brillion, Reedsville and Chilton High School bands in a gridiron con- cert. Dr. DeMaster announced Homecoming awards as follows: float, Seniors; uptown window display, Seniors; library window display, Freshman. Last years queen Debbie Hoerth crowned a surprised Rosie Daun as 1976 Homecoming queen. The Homecoming court reigned over the dance. Music was provided by Guys and Dolls. The dance climaxed Homecoming festivities for another year. The sum of wisdom is, that the time is never lost that is devoted to work. —Emerson Left: Roily Woelfel and Louis Seegers arrive back, from the other schooL Right: Barb Hoffman spruces up the schooL Bottom left: Bea Karmalita and Steve Leitner take time from their busy schedule.

Coach Clarence Scherer spent many hours working the team to condition their bodies. Chilton’s team had a rough season due to a lack of interest. They compiled a 0 and 10 record, but individual achievements should not be overlooked. Many team members improved their times from the seasons beginning to its end.

The varsity squad posted a 3-5 record while the junior varsity ended 4-4 in the win-loss column. Coach Corrine Norte-mann feels even though the girls lost games by a few points, they won by using their improved skills. The girls biggest asset was the strengthened style of play and the effectiveness of the offensive attack. They developed their skills by working more on spiking and setting. Experience also proved to be a benefit, as the varsity squad consisted of 6 letter winners. With the varsity team losing seven girls through graduation, Coach Nortemann will have to rebuild around Mary Prop-son, the only returning letter winner. The massive turnout for the volleyball team brighten’s the sports future at CHS. Page 28: Top Left: Kathy Woelfel slides to save the ball. Top Right: With good form Pat Laughrin bumps the ball.

They completed their first year with a 2A record. Leaders of the offensive squad were Wayne Roberts, Mark Albedyll, Kurt Groeschl.and Pat Boll. Leaders of the defensive squad were Eric Wenig, and John Degeneffe. Displaying a willingness to learn and to work, the JV’s strived to improve their skills. They had a very exciting season, the first two games were both decided in the last minute of action. The highlight of the season was against New Holstein. The Tigers pulled out a victory in the last 8 seconds. Individual skills were woven into a team concept. Leading defensive players were Willy Keuler, Gerald Hoerth. Mark Werbeckes, Bill Bechlem.and Chuck Maurer. Offensive leaders were Bill Bechlem, Tom Hertel and Marty Geiser. Lower Left: Glancing up field. Martin Wenig slithers through the defensive line.

The team maintained this attitude throughout the year. Success on the field was dampened by the inexperience of the young team. As the season progressed, the Tigers encountered many difficulties in playing the larger schools of the conference. An upset win over Algoma highlighted the season. Finishing with a 4-5 season record, the Tigers still placed three individuals on the all-conference team. Bob Kobriger received first team honors on defense and second team honors on offense. Jerry Vogt and Jim Mueller received second team honors offensively. Top left: Coaches Marks and Sager intently watch the game from the sidelines.

They finished the season with a 0-6 record. Those who continued on to sectional play were Nancy Fhlug, Mary Brantmeir, Debbie Buelow, Jane Kolbe, Carrie Werbeckes, and Barb Salm. Coach Weniger was pleased with her team’s efforts this past season and looks for future improvement as the team gains experience. left: Carrie Werbeckes takes a quick break during her tough match. middle: With a volley, Mary Suttner swings into action. left bottom: row 1, Deanna Schneider, Jean Schmitz, Tammy Pagcl, Paula Mortimor, Laura Kampfer, Laurie Rollmann. row 2: Jane Kolbe, Debbie Buelow, Nancy Flhug, Barb Salm, Mary Suttner, Carrie Werbeckes, Mary Brantmeir. right bottom: Jane Kolbe concludes her match with rack and ball in hand. 34 Freidel ranks, ninth in State Meet The 1976 swim team finished the season by sending three girls to the State Meet held at Madison. They were Patty Freidel and Jeanne Nolan in diving and Ann Bloomer in the 50 yd. butterfly. There Patty finished 9th in diving. The remainder of the team broke a number of school and individual records. Some of the records include: Judy Forst-ner in the 200 yd. individual medlay and 500 yd. Free style, Pat Freidel in the 100 yd. Breastroke, Paula Kobriger Pat Freidel, Ann Bloomer, Beth Bloomer in the 200 yd. medlay relay team. The girls also went on to place 2nd in the Packerland Conference. Many of this year’s letterwinners plan to return for a brighter season next year.

The council planned the homecoming festivities, which promoted community involvement. The council can also be credited with saving the annual Christmas tea. Another project was collecting post cereal box tops to provide athletic equipment for the elementary school. The student government concerned itself with improving the student commons and they started a scrapbook of their activities. The council touched upon problems that confronted the students. They studied how to keep the commons clean, and how to keep students occupied during noon hours. page 36: Freshmen: row 1: Paula Engler, Kay Stadmueller, Ann Rusch, Wendy HerteL row 2: John Furlano, Sue Wolfert, Connie Ste-cker. row 3: Donna Boll.

The Pom Pon Squad went to a clinic in Germantown, where they exchanged ideas with other squads. They received the Recognition Award for the best coordination of music and steps. In the overall competition the Pom Pon Squad recieved ninth place out of twenty-five squads. Lower Left: Pom Pon girls show their skills during the Homecoming assembly.

The group sponsored Parent's Night for the cheerleaders, pom pon girls, and football players. They funded and prepared the flowers that were given to the parents that night. Members of Pep Club recieve awards based on a participation point system. The three top point winners recieve a letter, the next five a Pep Club patch and the next ten a Pep Club certificate. A goal for the Pep Club this year was to begin a service project at school. Left: Members of Pep Club are always making posters such as Joey Coffen is.

The JV squad also spent an active year supporting the athletic minded Tigers. The Cheerleaders also provided inspiration and boosted school spirit to a high level at Pep Rallies. Besides running Pep Assemblies the girls decorated team members lockers and this year they traveled to football players homes and planted stakes with wooden footballs on them into their lawns. Many of the girls also help incoming cheerleaders perfect their skills and learn new cheers. Page 40. Top left; J.V. cheerleaders; Row 1: Jody Kalinka, Kay Nelson, Kay Stadtmueller.

Because of this, the girls at CHS wanted to make the 76-77 GAA season the best. This was shown by the increased enrollment compared to other years. This year Mrs. Depies feels that the girls should be able to earn awards instead of having an annual picnic. Bowlers with the highest scores and the best volley-bailers will receive the awards. They will either get a pin, certificate or a letter. This year the girls participated in bowling and volleyball. GAA was lead by President: Kathy Woelfel, Vice-President: Carrie Werbeckes, Secretary-Treasurer: Mary Sutt-ner, Bowling Sporthead: Chris Hawig and Volleyball Sport-head: Karen Scholz. page 44, top left; Seniors, row one: Ann Bloomer, Dee Aebischer, Barb Maurer, row two: Irma Volmer, Kathy Woelfel, Patty Maas, row three: Tammy Groeschl, Margie Russell, Mary Ludwig, Marie Sturm, fourth row: Julie Kartheiser, Carrie Werbeckes, Tami Boss-hardt, Alice Rollmann. fifth row: Karen Scholz, Janene Moehrke, Therese Heiberger. sixth row: Sue Mueller, Rosie Daun, Joey Cof-feen.

Hours of planning went into decorating and promoting this annual event. The sophomores selected the theme “Nights are Forever” and also chose their court of honor. Music was played by Mad Henry. The evening climaxed as the court was announced by President Chris Woelfel. The 1976 King and Queen, Doug Baltz and Beth Hertel, proudly crowned Kay Kampher and John Pethan as the new royal couple. The event was well attended and enjoyed by all. Page 56: Upper Left: A refreshment break is taken by Penny Walker. Upper Right: King John Pethan and Queen Kay Kampher reign over Sweetheart Hop.

The girls had their best season ever, in fact, the best in the sport’s history at CHS. Their schedule included a lot of big school competition, but their dedication and talent overcame this hardship. The varsity squad rolled to a fine record of 12 victories against only 3 losses. The JV’s enjoyed even greater success with 13 wins and 1 loss. The sport enjoyed a spurt in popularity, attracting a large turnout of candidates for the two teams and large crowds offering their support. Graduation will take some top performers including Tami Bosshardt and all-around Kathy Woelfel. Many others will be returning and the out look for next year is good. 58 page 58: left: Linda Giescr, Pat Freidel, and Kim Bosshardt wait with anticipation for the results of a teammates performance, bottom left: Tami Bosshardt shows her flexibility with a leg lift, right: With a toe rise, Janice Albedyll displays excellent balance, left: All-around, Sharon Schneider, prepares herself for a cartwheel, bottom: Row 1, Connie Schneider, Paula Engler, Coach Nortemann, Tami Bosshardt, Mary Meyer, Row 2, Manager Anna Kalinka, Betty Meyer, Joyce Nadler, Vicki Kopf, Wendy Bangart, Kathy Woelfel, Sharon Schneider, Dawn Kreilkamp, Janice Albedyll, Manager Amy MicheaL Row 3, Linda Geiser, Laura Kampfer, Jane O’Neil, Kim Bosshardt, Cindy Bruckner, Pat Freidel, Michelle Schemmcr, Gerry Catt, Kathy Mathieo. right: Kathy Woelfel shows a look of aggravation as she perfects her routine. Varsity ends even up The varsity girls had a prosperous season with their strong defense and generally good shooting. They ended with 6 wins and 6 losses. Chilton hustled to an exciting victory over Sheboygan Falls which proved to be the greatest accomplishment of the 1977 season. Leading scorer was Debbie Buelow and Nancy Nennig finished as top rebounder. The varsity squad consisted of six fine seniors including Carrie Werbeckes, Debbie Buelow, Rosie Daun, Nancy Nennig, Kim Maltby, and Karen Scholz. The JV’s had a difficult year under the leadership of Tina Kahlheimer, a first year coach. They managed to pull out only 2 wins, but more important learned some of the basic skills needed to be competitive on the varsity level.

By using two sophomores on Varsity, more players were able to gain actual game experience. The boys were very competitive in most games with four games being decided by five or less points. With some work by the J. Ys this summer they will have the possibility to add bench strength for next year’s Varsity squad and hold some starting positions as seniors.

The young Tigers held the honor of beating every team in the Southern Conference and proved they could not be dominated entirely. In their five wins the Tigers relied on hustle and flashes of brilliance to overcome their taller opponents. Pat Boll led the freshmen in a assists and scoring. Jim Dedering was second highest scorer and top rebounder while floor leader Mark Albedyll finished as second leading rebounder. Rough year for varsity basketball The 1977 basketball team had a difficult year. Despite all the dedication and hard work the Tigers fell to defeat in many games. The team fought with determination and continued to give it their best. The Tigers improved through the year and remained competitive in the Packerland Conference. Coach Dick Mauk commented that the team’s desire and attitude was good and the promise on a winning season seems closer. Mark Buhl and Marty Geiser were moved up from the J. V. squad to gain the experience needed to build a strong team. Lack of height has hurt the Tigers and they couldn’t overcome this obstacle. The players have gone through a hard season as a team and hope a winning year will come along. The starters throughout the season were: Jim Mueller, Marty Geiser, Mark Buhl, Mark Juckem, Dennis Mader, Jerry Mallmann, and Dennis Diedrick.

The only returning seniors were team captains Mike Freidel and Mike Gonzo. They were also setback by not having a diver until they were well into their season. The swimmers did, however, finish 3rd at the Packerland Conference meet and did well individually. Mike Freidel set a team record in the 500 Freestyle of 5:50.3 minutes and Jim Mittnacht won the 100 yard breast stroke in the conference meet. The team should make a better showing next year since most of the swimmers will be back. Lower Left: A fish (Mike Gonzo) out of water.

The fact that Hillcrest had almost a completely new staff, made articles appear in different styles, therefore making the paper more interesting. Again, the Hillcrest was set before its reading public on the last Friday of every month. Its’ pages contained the news and sports of the month, and features written by students for the entertainment of the student body. The paper also included many letters to the editor about problems of the school. Opposite page top, Row 1: Diane Totzke, Marie Kopf, Kathy Thiel-mann, Lauri Gebhart, Bill Doss.

Snow melting like our years, clouds fleeting like our illusions, rivers flowing like our lives—all bear secret relations to our destinies. 85 86 Our freedom is a possession to be lived, to be treasured. What each person does with his freedom is up to him, but it is only what he makes of it that counts. Prom unites friends After extensive planning the prom began to materialize on Friday afternoon, April 30, when volunteers laid the foundations in the gym. The Juniors spent Saturday toiling late into the afternoon to finish the decorations. At 9:00 the gym was transformed into a ballroom with the music provided by Medallion. Queen Linda Hoerth and King Jeff Wunrow were crowned at 10:30 and danced to the theme song, “Miracles.” After the dance at school was over many couples attended a post prom party at the Buccaneer Lodge. The large number of couples in attendance at the Junior Prom proved that “Miracles” can come true. Page 88 Top: Row 1: Junior Couples, Mark Wunrow and Tammy Hoerth, Tricia Bosshardt and Phillip Salm.

This light-hearted comedy is about a young girl who inherits a ghost from the Army of 1776. Lynn Gonzo plays Nancy Willard, the young girl who inherits the ghost, Nathaniel Coombes, played by Mark Hilbert. Nancy is the only one who can see or hear Nathaniel. This creates a few problems when her fiance', Parker Burnett, played by Bob TeVrucht, calls the people from Bellevue Mental Institute. Nathaniel wishes to remain on earth, but his ghostly friends, played by Mike Gonzo and Dave Meuer, encourage him to come to heaven with them. The only way he can get to heaven is by delivering the message he was to deliver before he was killed. In the end Nathaniel delivers his message and reluctantly goes to heaven. The play, directed by Mr. and Mrs. Gillig and student directors Barb Rabida and John Pankratz seemed to be a great success. 91 92 Page 92 Top Left: Row 1: Joey Coffeen, Judy Cullen, Patty Grenzer, Sue Nikolai, Linda Hedrich, Mary Mand, Cindy Baltz.

New track inspires girls Was the new track a good investment? According to the girls track team it was. They broke 9 of 11 records and tied 1. The 9 broken records were: 440 yd. relay-Mary Mand, Kathy Woelfel, Cindy Bruckner, and Ann Salm; 880 pursuit relay-Laurie Hertel, Cindy Bruckner, Kathy Woelfel, and Joey Coffeen; Mile relay-Kathy Woelfel, Linda Hedrich, Linda Groeschl, and Laurie Hertel; 220 yd. dash—Joey Coffeen; Mile run-Paula Kobriger; 880 yd run—Linda Hedrich; Discus—Karen Scholz; Shot put—Sharon Hertel; 110 yd. hur-dle-Kathy Woelfel. The high jump record was tied by Cindy Baltz. The track added to the girls enthusiasm and stimulated community interest and backing. It also provided for a home meet advantage and less traveling, due to 9 home meets. A new feature in the track program was co-ed meets, which offered rivalries for the best times and encouragement from both boys and girls. 93 A . i Golfers place 3rd in conference The 1976 golf team had a very good year. They closed the season with a 6-0-1 conference record and captured third place in the conference. Single accomplishments kept the season interesting. Keith Daun finished third individually in the conference meet and the climax was Steve Kampfer’s record breaking game of 35. Kampfer and Daun shared the honors of team medalist with an average of 44. The two returning lettermen are Mark Schlaefer and Keith Daun, both seniors. Other positions will be filled by qualified golfers that were strong in J.V. action.

Highlighting the season was Chilton’s play at the sub-sectionals, where they finished fifth out of nine schools. This was the Tigers best finish in sub-sectionals. The number one doubles team of Jeff Euclide and Darrel Frank almost upset a team from Sheboygan South who were 15-1. The scores of that match were 6-3, 6-7, 2-6. With many underclassmen gaining experience, plus the return of letter winners Rick Owens and Tim Steffes, the tennis squad should look forward to an improved season.

For the first time the team experienced home meets on their new track, in which two track records were broken. Ken Schneider broke the high hurdle record in 15.0 seconds and the low hurdles record in 20.8 seconds. Schneider also qualified for the State Meet, in which he came in 4th in the high hurdles and 6th in the low hurdles.

Middle: The Brass section practices their piece for the Christmas Concert. Lower Left: Linda Hedrich and Janice Pethan concentrate on their music. 99 Competition at Falls This years forensics team started with a district meet at Sheboygan Falls. The packerland Conference meet was also held at Sheboygan Falls. In the sub-district meet at UW-Oshkosh, an A marking qualified them for state competition at Madison. Three people participated at state last year including Albert Zeamer, Penny Walker, and Bonnie Pingel. The team puts a lot of time and effort into their speeches. Some write their own and others search for the story that is just right. Getting the story isn’t all that goes into forensics. They practice speeches many hours to get the exact phrasing and expressions. They’re judged not only on content, but delivery, and are awarded A, B, or C markings.

With the advice of Mr. Hartman, coeditors Sue Mueller and Pat Engler led the staff through a better than ever year. The staff decided to try some new ideas in the book this year. The cover, featuring the school mascot, prompted the staff to change the title of the book to the TIGER from the former TIGERETTE. Color photos added to a dynamic opening. Using freedom as the theme the staff put together a well-rounded book.

The team, which was led by seniors Dan Everix and Mark Schlaefer, lost a couple of close games to some tough teams. Plymouth, the conference champs, beat Chilton 3-1, and New Holstein, runnerup to Plymouth, beat the 2-1. While Dan and Mark both will be gone from the team we can still look forward to a team that can be a contender. Of the nine starters, six were either sophomores or freshmen. The team can definitely look forward to an improvement and possibly a title. Below: Coach John Freidel issues a few last minute instructions before playing Campbellsport.

The objective of the program is exchanging students within the U.S. rather than abroad, for a semester. The first CHS student to “go domestic” was Tammy Groeschl. She spent her second semester in California. The Robert Hipke family hosted David King from Vermont. Irma Volmer, from the Netherlands, stayed at the Henry Gillig home for the 1976-77 year. She was a member of Forensics, GAA, volleyball, basketball and Student Council. She gave numerous speeches to service clubs in the community. The AFS student body sponsored many activities throughout the year. The Activities were a dance, for a fundraising activity, selling pizza, which was a great success, and sold refreshments at football games. below: Juniors and Seniors.

The first duty we had was to elect our class officers. We chose Brenda Hephner as president, Therese Heiberger-vice president, Sue Nikolai-secretary, and Mike Gonzo served as treasurer. Our representatives to the Student Council were Steph Beyer, Ken Weber, Bill Hilbert, and Joey Coffeen. As freshmen we had our first experience in floatmaking. We picked the theme “We’ve Got Our Paw On A Victory”. Our freshmen cheerleaders were Sue Nikolai, Linda Hedrich, Linda Groeschl, Ann Salm and Joey Coffeen. Our football team ended the season with a 3-2 record and the basketball team posted a 3-9 record. Mike Gonzo was selected to lead our class through the sophomore year and was assisted by Joey Coffeen-vice president, Sue Nikolai—secretary, and Therese Hei-berger-treasurer. Our representatives were Marie Sturm, Margie Russell, Linda Groeschl and Mary Ludwig. That year four members of our class were chosen as cheerleaders, including Ann Salm, Joey Coffeen, Linda Hedrich and Linda Groeschl. Barb Bastian and Linda Nennig representated our class on the pom pon squad. In February we sponsored Sweetheart Hop. The theme was “Just You’n Me”. King Steve Daun and Queen Linda Groeschl presided over the festivities. Other court members were Bob Kobriger and Sue Nikolai, Doug Geiger and Barb Bastian, Gary Hoerth and Joey Coffeen, Jim Mueller and Mary Ludwig. The responsibilities of leading us through our junior year again fell upon Mike Gonzo. Other junior officers were Joey Coffeen-vice president, Sue Nikolai-secretary, and Liz Wenig—treasurer. Representatives included Terri Neuber, Linda Nennig, Rosie Daun and Mary Ludwig. Serving as cheerleaders in 1976 were Linda Groeschl, Joey Coffeen, Ann Salm and Linda Hedrich. Sue Nikolai was our representative on the pom pon squad. The main event of our junior year came on May 1— the Junior Prom. Our class selected the song “Miracles” and Jeff Wunrow and Linda Hoerth were elected King and Queen. In the court of honor were Mark Woelfel and Margie Russell, Mike Gonzo and Tami Bosshardt, Mike Schlaefer and Diann Half-mann, Mark Rusch and Ann Salm, and Lyle Hoerth and Therese Heiberger. In the fall of 1976 we entered the halls of CHS as seniors. To lead us through that final year we selected Sue Mueller-president, Joey Coffeen-vicepresident, Sue Nikolai—secretary, Liz Wenig—treasurer. Representing us on the Student Council were Mike Gonzo, Mary Ludwig, Karen Schoiz, and Ann Bloomer. That year Irma Volmer came to CHS and served as our special AFS student. Ann Salm was chosen as captain of the basketball cheerleaders while Joey Coffeen served as captain of the wrestling squad. Other senior cheerleaders were Linda Groeschl, and Linda Hedrich. Sue Nikolai was captain of the pom pon girls. That fall Homecoming had special meaning for our class-it would be the last we’d ever participate in. Three years of experience in float building resultin a first place for our class. It was given the theme “Tigers Will Turn For a Victory”. Our uptown window display also won first place and had the theme “We’ll take the key from Kewaunee and they’ll waun-ne go home”. Rosie Daun and Jim Gerner served as the royal couple over our dance theme “Our World”. The remaining court members were Sue Mueller escorted by Mike Pethan, Carrie Werbeckes escorted by Bill Hansen, Mary Augsburger escorted by Mike Freidel, and Linda Nennig escorted by Bob Kobriger. On June 5, 1977 our graduating class led by Bonnie Pingel, valedictorian and salutarian Eileen Flanagan ended it’s high school days. 124 In youth we learn; in age we understand. ----Marie von Ebner-Esckenbach Dee Aebischer Mary Augsburger Barb Bastian Steph Beyer Tom Bittner JoAnn Bo we Tami Bosshardt Ann Bloomer Steve Bodinger A1 Brandenburg Mary Brantmeier Debbie Buelow Jim Buhl JoeyCoffeen DuWayne Criter Keith Daun Rosie Daun Steve Daun Jan Elliott 125 Mike Frcidcl Nancy Fhlug Eileen l-lanagan Norb Gebhart What we learn with pleasure we never forget. ----Charles Alfred Mercier Doug Geiger Pete Geiser Jim Gcrner Scott Gerner Lorric Halbach Diann Halfmann Bill Hansen Chris Hawig Linda Hedrich Therese Heiberger Sharon Hertel Bill Hilbert Gary Hoerth Linda Hocrth 127 Almost everything that is great has been done by youth. ----Benjamin Disraeli Randy Koehler Dan Knonen A1 Krueger Dan Kubichka Donna Kubichka Rita Kurscheidt Jolecn Lcmkc Mary Ludwig Kim Maltby Cindy Mallmann Patty Maas Tom Ludwig Mary Mand Barb Maurer Steve Miller Jancne Moehrke Jim MueOer 129 130 Every action of our lives touches on some chord that will vibrate in eternity. —Edwin Hubhel Chapin Karen Mueller Lyle Mueller Rick Mueller Sue Mueller Toots Nadler Linda Nennig Joanne Neuber Sue Nikolai Debbie Olson Sue O’Neil Sue Orlando Bill Parker Kris Pautz Mark Pethan Mike Pethan Bonnie Pingel John Popp Ellen Propson Kelly Quist Kim Quist 131 The life of a young man is his visions, hope for the future, plans for achievement, success for himself.

Mr. Joe Fleming of ICP has given much time and assistance in all phases of this book. Without his help and inspiration, this book could not have been done. Mr. Steven Wunrow helped very unselfishly with the color work that was done in the annual. His ideas and skill helped us to complete our first color section on time and in good form. Mr. Larry Adams of Adams’ Colonial Studios has helped in many photography areas of the book. His assistance in working and completing the underclass pictures was particularly great. We also thank him for sharing with us pictures that he may have taken for the Chilton Times Journal which he gave to us for our use. Above all, we would like to thank the students and teachers for their cooperation in all areas. Without letting us take many shots during class time, we would not have been to able to show CHS as it really is. This book is done for all of the students and their help has been an invaluable aid to us in completing the book. 139 Patrons Aluminum Specialty Dr. Michael Baus Bloomer Buick-Pontiac John Butz’s Pharmacy Calumet Veterinary Clinic Chilton Metal Products met Printing Claus Deals 4 Wheels Commercial Bank Daun Services.
