Dennis Chance, a Class of ’59 graduate, lent his musical talents to Anaheim High as a member of the Mozart Choir. He also excelled in art and woodshop. He made his livelihood in grocery store management and was the youngest manager of Mayfair Markets at age 21.
His sisters, Sallie ’63 and Dee Ann ’64, remember Dennis being an extremely well-like young man known for his fun-loving nature. Pranks like “borrowing” an alligator from Knott’s Berry Farm for the Anaheim High fountain kept his classmates in high humor. He was the eldest son of Ruth Shaver Chance, AUHS Class of 1932 graduate. His younger brother, Gary Chance, also attended AHS and was a ’67 grad.
