ALDRICH 0G1 25'921 MAY 23.l95t Mr. Aldrich came to Chimacum High School in the fall of 1951. He taught Agriculture, Industrial Arts, Chemistry, and was Advisor of the Camera Club. During his year at Chimacum his encouragement brought forth astonishing results. When the students got discquraged he was always there with a smile and an encouraging word, and was willing to be of service. He gave freely of his time and spent many hours helping the students and teachers dec- orate for dances, and making sets for plays. We were deeply grieved at his sudden death, and feel that C. H.S. and the entire community have lost a real friend and leader. His memory will continue to be an inspiration to all who knew him. Logging by tree selection is another form of thinning which is a preferred practice in some older timber stands. While often desirable, the tree selection sys- tem of logging is not easy and not always practical. It is the job of the teacher to select a program and activities which will help the student develop into the finished i product. Lester's Service Clallam Grain Co.

Today, perhaps as never before, opportunities for success exist in many fields and we need only to be prepared. It is this power within us which must be used if we are going to prepare ourselves to live in our changing world. We have tried at Chimacum to provide you with the opportunity for development of your po- tentialities through a modern curricular activities. The Tahl-Kie-Chee presents a fine cross section of school life. The annual staff is to be complimented for so ably pre- serving our high school experiences for future reflection.

This leaves an extra bus which can be used for field trips and emergencies. Mr: Frank McNeil is the busesupervisor. He takes care of the buses and sees that they are in good condition. This is a very important factor at Chimacum because of the large consolidated district which the buses have to cover. . 13 5 Pictured left to right: Bud P11tas, Mrs. Ball, Jothorter, Mrs. Steele, Phyllis Frill, Natalie Wyman, ' . CAFETERIA Our cafeteria, supervised by Miss M0u1ton,supplies us with excellent hot lunches. Miss Moulton plans the meals and buys the food, while Mrs. Steele, assisted by Mrs. Ball, does the cooking. They used quite a bit of student help in the cafeteria. Natalie Wyman was the cashier and Danny Robbins ran the dishwasher. Other students helping were Phyllis Prill, Linda Whisnant and John Meyer. Miss Moulton hopes in the near future to have a tier oven installed. 14 Ted 8L Verne Lessard A Pa a L'fvy A tree is born when a seed germinates in the Spring- time and thrusts its roots deep into the humas and soil to survive the critical months of its first summer on earth. It is much the same with the high school stu- dent. Whether they will survive the high school years and develop into the finished product depends on their attitude and sincerity. 16 JUNIORS Fre nt row: Darlene Bishop, Marjorie Gallear, JoAnn McCorkle, Beverly Sccord, Patty Greer, Linda Whisnant.

We vote Brook Our school Nature is still the best tree planter. But in 1947 Crown Zellerbach took a cue from nature. They used helicopters for planting seeds. The helicopters are equipped with seed hoppers and Special dispersal units which release the desired number of seeds per acre. The proper start and environment are important factors in the growth of a tree. The athletic goal is to provide the proper moral and physical growth of the student which will enable him to grow into the finished product. 22 Coach 0' Donnell COACH' S MESSAGE One of the greatest problems facing a coach is to keep up the team's morale and to discourage jealousy among players. Morale has been called finesse, or posture, or attitude. A team must have pep, be alert, have what we call itzip if they want to have a successful season. There must be a sparkle, a smoothness, a kind of freshness, and crispness 3about their movements. A team which is slow and seems to be down in the dumps, 'one which does not have any pep, is a team'that is easily defeated. A person 'who is moody and depressed and does not show any interest is not the type of person that is likely to succeed in sports. You must have a feeling of freedom and optimism, eagerness and unity, de- sire to win. This is the type of thing I have in mind when I say the morale of the team comes first. Here is an athletic formula I sincerely wish each one of my boys would live up to with eagerness: Training + Exercise + Fundamentals + Man Power + Team Play : Success or Victory Kruse Pontiac Bennett 5 Thomas Motors Hetricks Se rvice R- g? gs From; row: Aadrew Hendarsom Allen Swanson, Gearge Zimmerman, kck Sci i: Richattzl Quanie, Disk Guistiamcmz Elan MCmghy, nick Tmpper, R3133: T , Bill VanN ., jarry Lybezck, Kim 3333.21 '1'.

Ninety percent of all forest fires are started by a relatively few people. Those who do start fires Would be most shocked if faced by the charred evidence of their one moment of carelessness. Fire fighting is an activ- ity necessary so that trees may survive the carelessness of man and the accidents of nature. Through our activities in school we lighten the load of studies and make school life a more pleasant period in which to mature, 09 on w 09 w Whistling Oyster Model Bakery Sequim Creamery Association 32 PEP CLUB First row: Nancy Bill, Georgia Thompson, Darlene Hicks. 2nd row: Virginia Anderson, Doris Anderson, Marjorie Romyn, Francis Minnihan, Sharon Sams, Maxine Hinton, Mari- lyn Lybcck.

Susan Shelby moved to Odessa, Wayne Vahldick moved to Anacortes, Ronnie Lopeman transferred to Port TOWnsend, Art Mc- Collough went to Bremerton and Donnie Thacker dropped. We not only lost five members but we gained three new ones; Bruce Weyermann, Shelia Bradshaw and John Nye. This year in sports, Ole Kilmer and Bud Putas made first string in basketball. The boys fighting in the Smoker were Bob Roe, Ole Kilmer and Bud Putas. During the Smoker we sold candy, pop, gum and pop-corn to earn money for our class treasury.

Jimmy Bunce, Leonard Morrison, Norman Larsen, Bud Putas, John Porter and Robert Roe became lettermen. ThelbOys fighting in the Smoker were Robert Roe, Jerry Lybeck, Bud Putas and Jimmy Bunce. During the year we had two big events take place. On November 17, a one-act comedy play, ttA Young Man's Fancy was presented by our class. We held our annual Junior Prom, 'tBlue Hawaii, on November 30, in the High School gymnasium. Darlene Hicks was crOWned Queen at this successful event. The music was played by the Bow Ties. At the end of the year we gave the first Senior Banquet ever to be held at Chimacum. It was held in the cafeteria. A delicious chicken dinner was enjoyed by everyone. The entertainment consisted of a few of the Junior Class students. The banquet proved to be another success- ful event. As in previous years, we decorated for the graduation exercises. On April 4, several of us appeared in the Senior play, t'The Little Dog Laughed. We elected Norman Larsen as President, Jimmy Bunce as Vice President, Joanne Porter as Secretary-Treasurer, Robert Roe as Class Representative, and Homer Johnson as Class Advisor. Now, at last, we have reached the top grade and are waiting anxious- ly for our diplomas. Our enrollment now has jumped to 22, of whom two are new. They are Alma Boyer and Gloria Tillitson. Again this year Georgia Thompson, Darlene Hicks and Nancy Bill, the three yell leaders, came from our class. From our class of 22 students, we have seven who started here and managed to stay all twelve years. They are: Helene Schier, Nancy Bill, Joan Jackson, Joanne Porter, John Porter, Bud Putas, and Carolyn Johnson. Norman Larsen again became President of our class; Jimmy Bunce, Vice President; Joanne Porter, Secretary-Treasurer; John Porter, Class Representative; and Advisor, Homer Johnson. On November 22, 1952, we presented a one-act play, 'tI-Ie Ain't Done Right By Nell, H along with the three other classes. In the spring, we gave our Senior Play and held our Senior Ball in the gymnasium, which was a big success. Now, all of us are looking into the future and wondering what it has to offer us.
