CLASS HISTORY The class of 1961 came into high school as freshmen in the autumn of 1957. David Boisvert was elected president. Rich Hoehn, vice-president, and Sharon Uhlich, secretary-treasurer. Mrs. Tom Burns, faculty sponsor, helped guide and encourage the frosh. Serving as representatives to the Student Council were Kay Conrad, Jim Kath-man, and Bill Dickson. The class selected Sharon Uhlich as Carnival Queen candidate. After three months' vacation, the classmates returned as ready and raring sophomores. Bill Kimball took on the duties of president with vice-president Claudia Dalquist. Jackie Cooper was elected as secretary-treasurer. In the Student Council this year were Julie Conner, Marjorie Monson, and Bill Thompson. Mr. Fiske and Mr. Walker served as class sponsors. Our candidate for Carnival Queen was Sandi Bollinger. As the mighty class of 1961 entered the halls of CHS as upperclassmen, action began to take place. Bill Dickson was selected as Junior Class president. Bill Thompson as vice-president, and Sandi Lux as secretary-treasurer also served on the executive staff. Junior Class Student Council representatives were Doug Lux, Dennis Paulson, and Dick Doughten. In the beauty department, Jackie Cooper was elected as Carnival Queen candidate. For the first time, juniors were able to attend High School Week at Bozeman, Montana. These juniors were David Boisvert, Jackie Cooper, Julie Conner, and Mary Kay Burtner. Julie Conner and Jackie Cooper were elected as delegates to Girls' State with Mary Gail Boe and Kitty Sharpies as alternates. Boys' State delegates were Bill Kimball, Quint Seamons, and David Boisvert. Alternates were Mike Tilleman, Bill Dickson and Jim Kathman. The Junior Class Play, Fair Exchange, under the direction of Mrs. Richard Wagner, was a smash hit. For the Junior Prom, the class chose Cinderella's Ball as its theme. Prom chairman. Bill Kimball, and banquet chairman, Mary Gail Boe, and assistants were able to put forth a very successful Junior Prom. This year the queen of the Prom was Julie Conner and the king of the Prom was Dick Doughten. The class sponsors were Miss Wilson and Mr. Grant. Bill Kimball, David Boisvert, and Mary Kay Burtner were elected to the National Honor Society. Bob Arndt became president of the Student Council. At last the Senior Year rolled around. The mighty Seniors of '61 chose Quint Seamons as their president. Rich Hoehn became vice-president. Secretary-treasurer was Elaine Bleha. Our representatives to the Student Council were Mike Tilleman, Bill Dickson, and Kitty Sharpies. Senior Class sponsors were Mr. Denny and Mr. Bowen. Carnival Queen candidate was Julie Conner. The comedy, Who Wouldn't Be Crazy? was the very successful Senior Class Play. The Senior Class had a very beautiful Senior Sno Ball. Sno Ball queen was Marjorie Monson, and Sno Ball King was Danny Lenhardt. Again representing the Senior Class, Jackie Cooper was chosen as Homecoming Queen and Bill Thompson as Homecoming King. Mike Tilleman was chosen from our school to be on the high school All American Football Team of 1960-61. Those seniors elected this year to the National Honor Society were: Jackie Cooper, Sharon Farley, Julie Conner, Mary Gail Boe, Marjorie Monson, and Sandi Bollinger.
