THE SUMMIT Chester High School Chester, Illinois 1961 TABLE OF CONTENTS Administration and Facutty Seniors Juniors Sophomores Freshmen Organizations Athletics Activities Advertisements Because his devotion to education has never wavered-- Because Chester has known him both as Superintendent of Schools and as a willing and faithful substitute-- Because his name is carved in our cornerstone as a builder of youth-- Because out of his richness of travel and of local lore he opens new worlds to those around him-- Because of his boundless enthusiasm for people and things about him-- Because we at Chester High School feel richer for having known him-- We, the staff of THE SUMMIT, dedicate our 1961 yearbook to MR. ELROY W. HEOB--our leader, our teacher, our friend. LEFT TO RIGHT: Viola Hoffman, Secretary; Holly C.
