SENIOR CLASS HISTORY Looking back through the years of school we find ourselves thinking of the year 1960, when 17 eager students began their journey of learning. Under the supervision of Mrs. Jim Petitt, the 17 kindergarten- ers were: Mary Bittinger, Chris Dittmer, Geraldine Bialas, Janet Miller, Mary Shonsey, Sharon Beck, Bob Church, Doug Wallace, Jim Bolen, Paul Douglas, Robert Ksiazek, Dennis Jarecke, Gary Strom- berg, Jerry Pollard, Billy Culver, Randy Dexter, and Rodney Didier. Mrs. Baird was our First Grade teacher. During that year we gained Linda Earl, Karen McNeal and Susan Anderson. Later we lost Billy Culver. The Second Grade brought us one new student. This was Lyle Weber, but he moved later that year. This year we had Mrs. Sloan for our teacher. As Third Graders we were happy to have Mrs. Zlomke as our teacher. We welcomed Jerry Wells and John Wilson. We started our Fourth Grade with Mrs. Alexander helping us through the year. The new student that joined our class was Claire Harris. We lost Doug Wallace at the close of the year. Climbing still higher we entered the Fifth Grade with Miss Marie Zoucha as our teacher. Miss Shirley Test opened the door to our Sixth Grade year of school. We gained Dave Schultz, Steve Rieken and lost Linda Earl. During Seventh Grade, Mr. James Rayer was our sponsor. During this year we lost Gary Schumacher. Our Eighth Grade sponsor was Mr. Don Hanssen. We lost Johrt Wilson at the end of the year. At the close of the year we took a trip to Lincoln. We toured various interesting places such as the State Capitol, Morrill Hall, and the Weaver Potato Chip Factory. In the fall of 1968, twenty-five students began the struggle of high school. The new members were: Jane Grafe, Tom Fritz, Ted Micek, Jerry Traudt, Gary Urkoski, Marvin Yrkoski. We chose for our class colors, wine and white, and our flower, the white rose. We were happy to have as our sponsors, Mrs. Paden and Mr. Riley. Our officers were.- Jerry Pollard President, Sharon Beck - Vice-President, and Karen McNeal - Sec. -Treas. Moving into our Sophomore year our sponsors were Mrs. Blain and Mrs. Banks. Our class officers for this year were: Susan Anderson - President, Jane Grafe - Vice-President, and Jerry Traudt - Sec. -Treas. We chose as our class motto, With Yesterdays Knowledge, We Challenge Tomorrow.’’ We ordered our class rings from Jostens. Jerry Traudt and Claire Harris left us after our Sophomore year. Our Junior year was a busy year with our class play Washington Never Slept Here. We honored the Seniors with the Junior-Senior Prom. Our theme was Song of the Islands. Our sponsors were; Mr. Sodomka, Mrs. Banks, and Mrs. Ippensen. Class officers were: Mary Bittinger - President, Sharon Beck - Vice President, and Mary Shonsey - Sec. -Treas. In the final year at C. H. S., we started out twenty-five strong. We were delighted to have as our foreign exchange student, Libby Tobias and to have Claire (Harris) Schott rejoin us, but we were sorry to lose Chris Dittmer at the end of the first semester. Our officers for the final year were; Rod Didier - President, Gary Strombert - Vice-President, and Janet Miller - Sec.-Treas. Sponsors were Mr. Jones and Mr. Kreps. We had our Senior pictures taken at Lumbard Leschinsky. On March 24 and 25, 1972, we presented our Senior Class Play, Hillbilly Weddin'. We ordered our graduation announcements from Jostens. The Juniors honored us with the Junior-Senior Banquet, Cherish. We left on April 27 for Osage Beach, Missouri (Ozarks) on our Senior Sneak Trip and returned on the 30th. On May 24th, during the Commencement exercises, twenty-three Seniors received their diplomas and said a final farewell to C.H.S. 13
