Hi Everyone~~
Happy May Day to you all. Remember when you used to make May Day baskets and hang them around Chase?
I made a road trip to Chaseamerica last Friday to 1. take Marilyn Dupont the graduation gifts as she is taking my place this year so that I can attend the graduation of my Granddaughter from KState, 2. To meet with Terri Feil at the HighSchool to pick up some yearbooks that she has found all around the high school and three have lunch with Marilyn and my sister Paula Bliss Bieberle. Terri had scrounged up 20 boxes of yearbooks and thankfully had three junior year young men load them into the back of my car for me. I couldn't talk them into coming home with me for the week end to unload them tho, even promised to feed them. lol If anyone wants any of these yearbooks or the ones we had on hand already, they are free for the taking, any amount of books, the only thing is if we have to mail them we need a fee of $10.00 for one yearbook to mail. Not sure on multiple yearbooks to mail, would have to find out. I can deliver in the Chase, Alden, Lyons and Sterling area when I am headed that way. These are the years I picked up. 1992, 1993, 1994, 1995, 1997, 1998, 1999, 2000, 2001, 2002, 2003, 2004, 2005, 2006, 2007, 2008, 2009, 2010, 2011, 2012, 2013, 2014, 2015, 2016, 2017, 2018, 2019, and 2020. It was a good day in Chase besides meeting Paula and Marilyn I got to see Terri, Sherry Bass, The Miller men ( Donnie, Tim and Dylan) Fred Ford, and a few others.
The 2024 All School Reunion is getting closer and closer. We have most of the plans made and just a few details to iron out. Your registration paper was included in your 2024 March Newsletter so soon as you can get that mailed in so we will know more how to plan certain events. Don't worry if something comes up that you can't attend after all, we have been known to give refunds upon request. We now have 31 registered with two Felix pins awarded, first non alumni committee member winner was Curtis Gillespie and the second winner for being the 25th goes to Norma Hembree Keller. Next up is the 50th registration. My class of 1964 is still leading in # of registrations with the Class of 1974 next with 5.
We have sweatshirts and hoodies at Kats Korner along with some miscellaneous items relating to Chase. Also have other items on the website. Past yearbooks listed on the website, free for the taking unless I have to ship it to you. Some items I have here at my house in Hutchinson.
I have an order in for some tees that when ready will take to Kats Korner. Be on the look out for them. I didn't order a huge number so if we run out I can order some more.
Stay happy, stay healthy and above all, show the love and have fun. We value you!!!
Until next time--

Thank you to Shelley White, secretary of the High School for the donation of 6 yearbooks we were in need of for the cabinet in the High School. Four more and I think we will have every yearbook from the year 1941 down that there was a yearbook. We even have 1925 year.
Thank you for the donation of the 1971 yearbook!
We would like to thank Gerald Fiedler and Kay Kopfman Thrall for donating yearbooks at the 2017 All School Reunion. We would like to thank Betty Browning Fulton, Class of 1944 for donating a 1941 yearbook to the alumni.
We thank Rhonda Clayton David for donating her yearbooks to the Association. The ones that were needed will be put in the cabinet at the High School for all to enjoy.
Thank you, Betty Browning Fulton - 1944 for letting us know there were no yearbooks in the years 1942, 1943 & 1944 due to the war.
We are in need of some yearbooks
to fill in some empty spaces in our cabinets at the school. These are on display
for all to see so if you have an extra one or just want to donate yours to the
Alumni we would be grateful. If you want to donate any of the following years,
contact Sherry Cole.
1945, 1946, 1951, 1986.
Just a note to that, if you have any of your yearbooks of any year, please don't throw them away, we take them as well. We also have yearbooks on hand if you are needing one. The list of what we have is on the Kats Kraft Shoppe page. Thank you.

FROM PAST UPDATES: April 04, 2024 Hi Everyone~~ So sorry for the late post. I try to do it on the 1st of the month but this has been a crazy start to April already. lol. I did make it through April Fools day with out a prank pulled on me (besides life lol) and hope you did the same. Marilyn got the alumni newsletters mailed out and as usual we got a bunch returned, some with a forwarding address on them and some without. She and I met last week in Chase, first coffee at the Senior Center with some of the gals and guy, then on to her house to re-send the ones that had forwarding addresses on them. Mostly via facebook I have reached out to ones that are on there that their newsletters had been returned. I have had a pretty good response but still missing a few. If you did not get your newsletter that might be the reason. Plz send me your forwarding address via email or facebook message. After we readdressed what we could we ventured down to Kats Korner for lunch. It was taco day which Marilyn took advantage of but I opted out for the bacon cheeseburger with onion rings and a side of mozzarella sticks which did not disappoint. Saw a few people I knew and met a new one I had only corresponded with previously. So good to go back "home" and see people and how things are changing. Thanks in part to Jarrett Mermis and his wife who is the new one I met that day. The 2024 All School Reunion is getting closer and closer. We have most of the plans made and just a few details to iron out. Your registration paper was included in your 2024 March Newsletter so soon as you can get that mailed in so we will know more how to plan certain events. Don't worry if something comes up that you can't attend after all, we have been known to give refunds upon request. So far we have 12 registered and I need to get mine in soon. lol We have sweatshirts and hoodies at Kats Korner along with some miscellaneous items relating to Chase. Also have other items on the website. Past yearbooks listed on the website, free for the taking unless I have to ship it to you. Some items I have here at my house in Hutchinson. Stay happy, stay healthy and above all, show the love and have fun. We value you!!! Until next time-- Sherry Bliss Cole, Class of 1964 |
