Kfvwd Aofory Our class of 81 boisterous students entered C.H.S. in the fall of 1951 and was classed as green freshmen , but we soon overcame this title. We were initiated by the sophomores in a week-long struggle which was brought to a close by a rip-snorting assembly. We got off to a bang-up start by electing Chuck Ingwalson, president: Kay Robertson, vice-president: and Marilee Chapman, secretary-treasurer. Our student council representatives were Judy Acher, Linda Lux, and Ivan Nelson. Mr. Heintz was our sponsor. We finished off the year with a very successful class picnic. We re-entered C.H.S. in the fall of 1952, this time as sophomores, striving to obtain higher abilities. To prove this, we elected Linda Lux, presidentg Kenny Stam, vice -president and Margie Williamson, secretary-treasurer. Our student council representatives were Vernon Kaufman, Rulee Matsuoka, and Marilee Chapman. We had a big initiation for the new freshmen, even though it lasted for only two weeks, under the new initiation ruling. Miss Koehmstedt acted as our sponsor. The following fall we entered the high as flighty juniors: upperclassmen at last! This year, to prove our worth, we elected E. L. Luckett, presidentg Ivan Nelson, vice- president: and Tana Claridge, secretary-treasurer. John Gesell, Lacene Galbraith, and Chuck Ingwalson served as student council representatives. We sponsored the annual Junior Prom, with Ivan Nelson as prom chairman, and E. L. Luckett and Linda Lux leading the Grand March. The theme of the prom was Harbor Lights , and the gym was decorated in a marine motif for the occasion. Going Places was our class play this year, and a very successful one it proved to be. To attend Girls' State, we selected Margie Williamson, with Rulee Matsuoka as alternate. Boys' State delegates were John Gesell, Ivan Nelson, and Chuck Ingwalson, with Nevada Bonar, David Kathman, and Kenny Kuhr as alternates. Mr. Denney was chosen to sponsor our class this year. Entering C.H.S. for the last time, we set out to make it a memorable one by electing Garth Seamons as president, Bob Matulka as vice-president, Jacquie Matchett as secretary, and Rulee Matsuoka as treasur er. This year's Student Council officers were Ivan Nelson, president: Chuck Ingwalson, vice-president: Tana Claridge, secretary: and Margie Williamson, treasurer. Acting as class representatives were Helen Couch, LaLawne Gratton, and E. L. Luckett. We chose Mr. Bowen to be our sponsor. Our senior class play was Special Delivery , a very clever comedy. The D.A.R. Award was presented to Rulee Matsuoka, and the Bausch and Lomb Award, to John Gesell, Jacquie Matchett was crowned Queen of the annual Carnival. Our valedictorian was Cornelia Feiertag, and the salutatorian, John Gesell, Thus, on the night of May 25, 1955, we finished four wonderful years of comradeship and happiness at Chinook High School, an experience we shall never forget.
