Guy, Superintendent of Schools, 1882-1885 and 1890-1893 “About the year 1721 a Fleming taught the Tamaroa and Kaskaskia Indians to sow wheat in this region; whereby the condition of these tribes was very much improved.” This is the earliest record of any teaching near the place where Chester now stands, and it may be regarded as a good beginning for an industrial university. Father Charlevoit and the Jesuit missionaries are associated with the earlier instruction of the children in the newly forming civilization; but the French language was their medium, and their impress was lost on the incoming English and American settlers. A building used for school purposes at as late a date as 1830 stood at a place called Portland on the present site of the Southern Illinois Penitentiary. (1) In 1829 the first house in Chester was built by Samuel Smith, who had purchased this land, and the shipping point was known as Smith’s Landing. His wife, Mrs. Jane Smith, was a native of Chester, England; and to her was given the privilege of naming the new city. Early school houses stood beyond the present location of the cemetery; below the hill near what is now Joseph Beare’s residence; near the Presbyterian Church, halfway up the hill; and at other convenient points. (2) There was evidently considerable interest in education even at an early day, for I cannot find that tuition rates were at any time less than one dollar per month, and the schools were well attended. Among the pioneer teachers honorable mention is made of men named Holloway (at Portland), Messrs. Sykes, Means, Skilling, Gardner, Anderson, Farrington, Rev. O. L. Barter, Charles, and Corrington, and ladies named Mrs. Drew. Maggie Kennedy, Mary Servant, Fannie Swanwick, Anne Henderson, Miss Frone (recommended by the governor of Massachusetts), Mary Prine, Abbie Prine, Miss Davis, Miss Whitehead, Miss Vienna Cooke, Anna Maxwell, Kate Maxwell. and the Misses Stafford. The latter seem to have been very superior teachers, as were others in the list. These are all I have succeeded in rescuing from oblivion. With few facilities, they kept as good schools as the community would permit. By their example and devoted interest they still live. In 1859 the records, still preserved, show that on the 10th of October at the court house, William A. Gordon “drew the long term” and J. H. Nelson “drew the next long term” for the new Board of Directors. (3) Sept. 8, 1861, a levy of 20 cents on the one hundred dollars was ordered upon the taxable property of the district. Thus free schools seem to have attained a secure footing within six years after the act establishing the present public school system was enacted by the Illinois Legislature. In 1862 James Neville, F. D. Outen. and Theodore Van Kannal held school; the name of Robert Mann appears on the Board of Directors; and the total expenditure by the district was $602.50. In 1863 H. Bueckman, William Lakenan, and William Roberts were directors. As teachers the names of John H. Lindsey and Amanda Whittaker now appear. Then come Mary Jane Guthrie, Mary Jane Williamson, Emily Wassell, Clementine Cole. Mr. Calvin Mitchell seems to have been the first high school teacher. D. S. Morrison was elected principal of schools August 3, 1867, with John F. Baumann appearing as clerk of the Board. In 1869 John A. Malone; in 1870, J. H. Lindsey; in 1871. a Mr. Howard, and J. N. Holloway followed in order in that position. Page 10 THIRTY-THREE The first Board of Education was elected April 5, 1873, organized August 19, 1873, and comprised the following gentlemen: C. B. Cole, Charles Wassell, Christian Wagner, William Roberts, Jacob Gnaegy, and John F. Baumann. In 1874 Prof. R. C. Ross was principal—troublesome times. (4) In 1875 Mr. H. 1). Updike followed. A grammar department was established under Miss Anna E. Houston, and the principal is mentioned under the name superintendent. During these years, the name of J. Perry Johnson as president of the Board of Education and that of John F. Baumann as secretary are closely connected with the progress of the schools. A. B. Rohrbaugh and R. W. Matthews follow in 1877 and 1878 as principals of the schools with John G. Middendorf, who was president of the Board. In 1881, during the administration of schools under Prof. R. W. Matthews, bonds were issued to build what is now the Central School building. William A. Gordon, M. D., and F. Bueckman were in succession presidents of the Board of Education. Mr. R. W. Matthews having died soon after the close of the school year in 1882, the Board invited Supt. George L. Guy of Shawneetown, Illinois, to take charge of and organize a system of instruction for the city of Chester. (5) This he did and continued in office for three years. W. R. McKenzie, M. D., was president of the Board of Education from 1883 to 1888. In 1885, Rev. George S. Hatch was elected superintendent, and in 1886 Prof. T. B. Greenlaw followed, continuing in office four years. (6) In 1890 George L. Guy was recalled to the superintendency, and it is he who is responsible for these fragments of history. R. J. Harmer and Henry Clay Horner have been very active and useful secretaries of the Board of Education during late years, and William McAdam as president has brought an intelligent and liberal mind to the duties of that office. The names of the present Board of Education are: William McAdam. president; Henry Clay Horner, secretary; Charles B. Cole; Ralph E. Sprigg; Henry Speckman; Isaac Meredith; and Lewis Heitmann. Clarence Staley is treasurer. The corps of teachers to May 14, 1892, were the following: George L. Guy, superintendent; Julia A. Sebastian, principal of high school; Edgar P. Keneipp, principal grammar school; Miss Eleanor Cameron; Miss Sara Gertrude Harner; Miss Anna H. Kelly; Miss Alice Crissey; Mrs. Ella Morse; Miss Fannie White-head; and J. N. Stewart, teacher in colored school. (1) The building used for school purposes stood at this site, since it ?oas here that the city of Portland was started. This point was close to the confluence of the Mississippi and Kaskaskia Rivers. It will be recalled that the Mississippi River cut through into the Kaskaskia and follows the course of that river, now, from a point near the site of Fort Gage. (2) The reference here to the building halfway up the hill refers to the present Lincoln School. The Presbyterian Church mentioned here has been worked over and is now a dwelling occupied by E. A. Crippen. From the “Combined History of Randolph, Monroe, and Perry Counties,’' published by J. L. McDonough Co., in 1883, we take the following: “In 1839 the Board of Trustees arranged to erect a building twenty-eight feet front by forty deep, to be used as a scltoolhouse, union meeting house, and town house. Mather, Lamb Co. gave lot five of block nine of their addition to the town as a site for the structure. Its cost exceeded three thousand dollars. The building was finished in the summer of 1839, and in September of that year a committee was directed to have the interior plastered, provided the cost did not embarrass the Page 11 THE SUMMIT treasury too much. Peter McCulloh did the plastering for one hundred and thirty-three dollars. The cost of the building was met by levying a special tax of onc-lialf of one per cent. In 1839 a committee of the Board of Trustees reported that a school of thirty pupils could be formed, and a contract was made with O. P. Baton to teach the school for two dollars and fifty cents per quarter for each pupil.” (3) The following taken from “A Directory, Business Mirror, and Historical Sketches of Randolph County” helps in interpreting this reference. “The erection by the city of large public school house in 1858 closes the leading events of her history. This building is an ornament to the place and will be a lasting monument to the intelligent spirit of her citizens.” (4) “Troublesome Times” in all likelihood refers to the problems consequent upon reconstruction and to the influence of the panic of 1873. (5) “Combined History of Randolph, Monroe, and Perry Counties” also sheds some light here. “That building (referring to the school erected in 1858) was of insignificant pretensions in coinparison until the one completed in 1882. The latter is a capacious and handsome structure of brick. Beside the city of Chester the school district includes portions of township seven, range six, and township seven, range seven. In addition to the Centra! School building there is a schoolhouse in the first ward used by the colored children, and one in the third ward used for a primary school. Bight teachers are employed to whom during the year 1882-1883 salaries were paid amounting to thirty-seven hundred dollars.” (6) The alumni records start with the year 1885. Thus it seems that in this year Chester had its first approved high school. Since no class graduated in the year 1882, it is likely that the third year of high school was added with the erection of the new school building. The hit fit school changed from a three year course to a four year course in 1904.

Altman and Co, in New York City. Being the junior nurse employed by the firm, 1 had been able to get off only for short periods of time until the summer of 1942, when I was given a month’s vacation. A few days after my arrival at home 1 received a letter from Alberta Welge inviting me to her home, the next evening, to play bridge. I arrived at Alberta’s home in the Fairview Park Addition about seven-thirty. Alberta opened the door and welcomed me in her old talkative style. “Oh. what a beautiful home you have.” I remarked. “How long have you been living here?” “Oh, only about six months. After graduating from Cape Girardeau Teachers’ Collese, I taught history for four years before I was married.” I had visited with Alberta only a few minutes when Fern Stadler arrived. I asked, “Fern, what are you up to now?” “Oh, haven’t you heard about the new kindergarten I have in the glass penthouse on the First State Bank building?” “It certainly is good to be home again and hear about all my old friends. What has happened to our other classmates? Where’s Ruth Bartels, now? She used to go with my brother, but I never hear about her any more.” “She has been teaching English in the high school at Mt. Vernon since she graduated from Carbondale.” “A pedagogue! Are any of the rest of them teaching school ?” Fern proudly spoke up, “Why, yes, Josephine Meder is director of physical education for girls at the Crane Jr. College in Chicago; Wilma Schroeder is teaching commercial subjects at Perryville; Hulda Rieckenberg is teaching mathematics in Roosevelt High School in St. Louis; and Helen Mueller was a teacher until she married Coach McGuire last year.” After we had waited several minutes, Edith came bursting in. “You’re up to your old tricks. What’s the trouble; is the baby cutting teeth ?” Fern asked. “No. the baby is a marvel; just like his dad. But Owen was made business manager of Max Katz’s new haberdashery, and we had to celebrate.” I bid “no trump” and the game started. “You should see Mr. Katz’s store since it’s been remodeled,” Edith remarked. “This town is certainly getting a lot of new life. Have the girls told you anything about the place?” “No,” I answered. “What’s been going on in the town?” “Ob, it’s changed a lot. You should see all the new glass houses. T understand that by fall we are to get those new hidden street lights which were invented by James Baronowsky. Several other old classmates have added to the prosperity of the town.” “They have! Who are they?” 1 asked. “Since Richard Wilson has bought the Chester Press and named it the Chester Crier (more tears than anything else) it has become the leading paper in the county. Often it contains some poetry by Mae Smith. You know her lyrics have become rather popular, lately. Oh, yes. I suppose you knew about the new grocery of Berrv and Harrison. Raymond Kipp is the new bookkeeper.” “Well, girls,” said Fern, “are we going to play bridge or talk?” We played on peacefully for a few minutes until we heard a peculiar drone. “Oh, look,” Alberta said, “I’ll bet that’s one of those new rocket p'anes.” We rushed out and saw a plane with vari-colored lights forming the words, “World’s Fair. Columbus, Ohio; 1942-43; 450th Anniversary of Columbus’ Discovery of America.” The plane circled around town several times and to our amazement it dropped lower and landed in the park-way near us. The pilot got out of the plane, and as he started toward the Blue Moon Cafe. I recognized that that walk could belong to no other than Charles Meng. We ran up to welcome him and ask him how he happened to be here. “Just as you see, I’m advertising the World’s air. John Nagel is advertis- Tape 20 THIRTY-THREE ing west of the Mississippi, and I east of it.” He excused himself hurriedly and in parting remarked, ”1 hope to see you at the fair.” As we turned and started to the house, Fern exclaimed, “Wouldn’t it be loads of fun if a bunch of us could go to the fair together?” Before the evening was over Fern and I planned the trip, but Edith and Alberta decided that they couldn’t leave. We planned to start on Wednesday. We left Chester in one of those new air-gas cars, the motor of which was perfected by Waldemar Stewart. It certainly was a lovely car and Gerald Plog, the chauffeur, told us that it would make fifty miles per gallon of gasoline. At St. Louis we transferred to a Rabe plane operated by radio control. Just as we were getting settled for our ride Olga Gilster appeared as the dramatic air hostess. After she had gone around and made everyone comfortable, she came to sit with us. She told us that Dorothy Hoffman had at last realized her ambition and was a dietitian in a St. Louis hospital. “Bv the way, Fern,” 1 asked, “what ever happened to Earl Staley?” “Did we fail to tell you about him? He married that little baby face from Sparta, entered politics, and is now city clerk. You should see him sitting with his heels parked up on the desk.” Since we wished to look our best when we reached the fair, we sought a beauty parlor during our stop at Indianapolis. Olga directed us to a shop which was owned and operated by Virginia Hamm and Virginia Gilter. As we were old friends they gave us immediate attention and we were back in the plane several minutes before it left the ground. Arriving in Columbus, we took a bus to the fair grounds. Alfred Decker, the driver, told us that he had married his old favorite of Sparta and moved to Columbus five years before. One of the first buildings that attracted our attention was a magn'ficent reproduction of the palace of Queen Isabella of Spain. We went over to the building and were told by the man in charge that it had been planned and constructed by Bunselmeyer, Lipscomb and Company, and lighted by Norman Schoeppel. Of course we were thrilled to think that we had graduated in the same class with these boys. While walking around we were attracted to the Education Building. As Fern was interested in teaching, we went inside. There we found Dean Harris presenting the latest developments in agriculture. We strolled over to the Hall of Music, and whom should we find among the interested spectators but Velma Cleiman, who informed us that she had just returned from an European tour. After lunch Fern developed a toothache, and as I had heard that there was a dental clinic on the grounds, we went in search of it. We were directed into a waiting room into which stepped the dentist, Lawrence Bruce. Faye Saxen-meyer, the nurse, gave Fern the gas, which made her insensible to pain, but allowed her to talk to the dentist. A few minutes later Mildred came in. She wfas her husband’s assistant at the clinic, and came in to see us. After we left the clinic we went to a demonstrabon of new methods in beauty culture. Here we were joyously surprised to find Conrad Becker giving the lecture and Ruth Barnard performing the demonstration. A loud speaker made the announcement that the leaders in the San Francisco to Columbus Air Race would soon be in sight. We immediately made our way to the finish line. Plane number thirteen won. Looking at our schedules we found the pilot and the mechanic to be our old friends, Frederic Sander and Wayne Smith. Later we were told that the flight was sponsored by the blue print magnate, Lester Weber. As we started to leave the race course someone called, “Hello, girls.” We turned and saw two of our old classmates, Dorothy Randall and Paula Fiene, coming toward us. They told us that they were employed as nurses at the large glass hospital on the grounds, and insisted that they show us through it. As we entered, we met Paul Wolff and Elbert Hoppe, who were putting on F age 21 THE SUMMIT the finishing touches in their training by acting as internes. We soon learned that the boys had changed very little. Before we got away they had certainly convinced us that it was a pleasure to be ill these days. Just as we were leaving. Gertrude Pontow entered in a nurse’s uniform. As she had to go on duty, Fern and I decided we should move on. “My, I’m tired,” Fern remarked. I agreed, so we decided to call it a day. We took a taxi back to our hotel. As we entered the dining room, the head waitress came to meet us. It was Mildred Flog. “I’ll just take your orders myself,” she said. She brought our dinners and stopped to chat while we ate. “How do you like the food?” she asked. “It is very good,” I replied. “I thought you’d say so. Harry is a marvelous chef.” “Harry? So you call him by his first name? You must know him quite well,” said Fern. “Certainly, he happens to be Harry Jones,” said Mildred. We understood much better when Mildred excused herself a few moments later with the remark that she and Harry were off to see the sights at the fair. We decided that the day had already been full to overflowing and immediately retired from the dining hall to our room. We got up rather early the next morning and were soon at the fair grounds. Fern’s interest in her high school commercial courses caused us to go to the stenography contest which was being held in the Commercial Building. Imagine our surprise when we looked over the list of contestants and found the familiar names of Hazel Hamilton, Thelma Magers. and Vivian McConkey. During the afternoon we visited the Hall of Science. We felt duly rewarded for our visit when we found James Baronowsky, the old C. H. S. money grabber, in the physics research department. After dinner we decided to go to the theatre. On the screen whom should we see but Ruth Jany and Harold Buscher. However, we were due for other surprises before we left. On the stage we saw Portia Schoeppel, solo dancing, and Eddie Knapp, tap dancing. As we left, we saw Milton Duensing talking to the head usher. He told us that he was the manager of the theatre. While we were talking Ruth came and said, “Come on, Milton. Let’s go home. Junior is getting terribly restless.” Three days later we reluctantly started home in an aeroplane on which Teddie Mann was the pilot and Vivian Allison the nurse. As we were flying, we noticed a beautiful farm which Vivian told us was owned by George Anghouse. The next day after we arrived at home Mary Irose called and asked me to come to her house the following evening to play bridge. She had just come home on a vacation. I afterward learned that she was the private secretary to the governor of Oklahoma. When I arrived at her home the next evening, I found that Fern was already there. We had visited only a few minutes when a car drove up. We heard a car door slam and Alberta Huskey’s voice saying, “Yes, Clarence, dear, call for me at eleven.” “So she got him?” I remarked. “Yes,” said Mary. “For a long time I was afraid she was going to have to follow in Miss Gilster's steps, but it seems that Clarence finally came to himself. It was some catch, too. That boy owns a big ramie plantation in Alabama. They just came home day before yesterday.” Fern and I related our trip to the fair. Both girls were overjoyed to hear of their former classmates. After bridge was over both decided to go. About a week later I began preparing for my return to New York. It certainly had been grand to see all my former classmates, but I decided that the whole affair had been such a nightmare that I’d be glad to get back to work.

Oh. it is a great consolation to know that we are not at the foot of the ladder—that someone else now tills that place! At last we have someone over whom we may be haughty. No one but a Freshman knows how humiliating it is to be looked down upon. With that stage of the game over, we Sophomores feel as if we own the whole high school. A stranger coming to our school can immediately distinguish the Sophomores from the students of all the other classes. A typical Sophomore goes around with his head in the air and a condescending smile on his face. He feels like a king; his subjects are the Freshmen. In the presence of these wandering listeners a Sophomore is in his glory. He tells them how easy algebra and Latin I are compared to those terrifying subjects, geometry and Latin II, and also tells with a careless air how he fools the teachers into believing he has prepared his lessons. His hope, while telling of his wonderful experiences, is that an upper classman won’t chance by. It one does, the Sophomore usually becomes very quiet and does a disappearing act. The Sophomore feels that it is his solemn duty to teach the Freshmen to respect the upper classmen, and he proceeds to do his best to accomplish this great feat. However, it doesn’t seem as if the Juniors and Seniors appreciate this as much as they should. Even though upper classmen do not think 11s very important and although there are only forty-five of us, we seem to get along rather well. For instance, think how the sports of the high school would have suffered if some worthy Sophomores had not come to the aid of the other athletes.

Five went out for basketball; the team that played in the Junior tournament was almost entirely made up of Sophomores. Nine went out for track. Not only does the Sophomore Class show up in sports, but many of its members are seen in the several societies of the school. Some of our future “Kate Smiths” have joined the Glee Club. Mabel McNelly was considered so efficient that she was made secretary. The girls with the best lungs have joined the Yeowlers Club. It was discovered that Arcelle Depew has the best lungs and a voice to go with them; so she was made their cheer leader. Eight future Greta Garbos have joined the Dramatic Club and are fast becoming great actresses. It seems that some of our number are domestically inclined, for five boys have joined the Future Farmers Club and eight girls the Rip and Dip Club. After having this training they should make good husbands or wives. Miss Darwin and Coach Simmons, our advisors, have shown us the way all Sophomores should go, and a few are going on that road. As Sophomores we’ve taken many liberties—such as teaching the Freshmen who’s who. In looking over the past and predicting the future, we feel that in the year of 1950 you will find all our names in that famous book “Who’s Who.” And so Here’s to the Sophomores, one and all. Here’s to the Sophomores, short and tall. Though unimportant now we are. In the future our greatness will shine afar. Doris June Mounts.

They come into the schoolhouse, Go roaring down the halls, Hut their laughter’s not much louder Than are the Seniors’ bawls. They’re sneered and jeered and tossed about, “Stand in the corner, you.” And there’s not a soul to cheer ’em up When their souls are feeling blue. “The Freshmen are so fresh, indeed.” Said one Junior to me, And on and on these people rave Till all join their plea. If anything goes one hit wrong. It’s Freshmen did it sure. Don’t you think they should be praised For the way they do endure? And talk about initiating. That lasts all the year.

S. athletics Are advancing now with force, And some of the brightest prospects Arc the Freshmen, of course. They have ambitions very high. The highest of them all Is to become a Senior proud To bully the Freshie thrall. The Freshmen are very well advised By Miss Roberts and Mr. Rebbe And to chaperone them at a party They are prompt and ready. They hope the school some day with pride W ill point to them and say, “Although they were unwanted once, We cherish them today.” For Freshmen want to leave their mark In dear old C. H. S. And to be called by everyone A very great success. Cakabku. Davis. Page THE SUMMIT A Symposium on What High School Means to Me” As an interesting example ot how school affects different persons there follows in brief paragraph form the answers of this class of seniors to the introductory question. Although you may not have expressed them, doubtlessly there are included ideas of which you have been conscious. | xj xj To me high school has brought an appreciation of life. From il I have learned what I hope to be a life-long love for art, nature, and friends. My first lesson taught me self-confidence, and that, I believe, is the greatest dividend that I shall ever receive on a four year investment of time and study. I now realize the true position of the high school in the field of education, providing as it does a key to the gateway of knowledge. x[ x| xj There is more to high school than just attending and passing four subjects every year. I never entered very much into either the social or the athletic side of education—a fact that I am just now beginning to regret, as in both of these outside activities one becomes acquainted with a large number of people and learns much more about those who have been met previously. Learning to know people, their characters and habits is one of the greatest achievements toward success in later life. x] x| xj I believe that high school has done more to help me attain my ambitions and to keep me from being narrow minded and unsocial than any other step I could have taken. x( x| x| To me high school has meant many happy days. There have been parties and plays which offered brief interludes in the monotony of school life. Some parts of the years seemed difficult, but the parties soon caused me to forget them. I believe, however, that in all my extra-curricular activities I have derived more benefit from athletics than from any other. They have taught me team work and have helped me to become more broad-minded. x| x| ) My high school education has taught me the principles of work. I have discovered that only hard work pays the best dividends; at last I have become convinced that in order to get something out of a thing one must put work into it. xj xj xj After four years I have come to the conclusion that textbook education is not the only phase of school life. I have learned to consider the interests of others, to be silent when the occasion demands, and to be respectful to my superiors. This training is the more valuable because it is not forgotten in later life, as much textbook knowledge is. 'I' 'I' 4 Considering everything in a few words, I reach the following viewpoint: high school has taught me to think for myself, broadened my view on life, trained me in leadership, and all in all has been one of the great stepping stones in life in helping me to prepare for what is yet to come. x| xj, Xj, Everything in high school has meant much to me—probably more than I shall ever realize. However, I believe that in all my four years of attendance agriculture has been the most interesting, most useful, and most beneficial subject to me. x| xj, xj The most important point that I derived from my school days is the desire that has been created within me to further my present education.

FUTURE FARMERS CLUB The Future Farmers Club, organized two years ago, has continued to grow during the past year. The members of this club are agricultural students and are playing a prominent part in activities in which our school participates. Our activities are so varied and balanced that we have “something doing” almost all of the time. During the past year, we have taken part in many sectional and state contests, and some enviable records have been set. In the Sectional Public Speaking Contest, in which eleven high school Future Farmer Clubs were eligible to participate, Chester won third place. The bronze medal award was received by Willard I� ixby, representative of this chapter. Later in the spring, we entered the Sectional Livestock and Grain Judging Contest held at Ashley. The same eleven schools were eligible to send teams. The Chester team came home very well pleased, having won almost half of the high places. Arnold Fey and Charles York, who composed the grain team, won first place, and Arnold was also high individual grain judge. Of the two brothers. George and illiam Decker, who secured first prize as the poultry team, William took second as individual poultry judge. The corn team, Richard Wilson and John Douglas, was successful in taking second, with Richard winning second as individual corn judge. The fat stock and dairy teams failed to place. Near the end of April we held our father and son banquet. All the dads, the board members, our principal, and our superintendent were present. We may sum up the evening by saying there was excellent food, very interesting speeches, and a splendid spirit of good fellowship throughout the meeting. As principal speaker, Professor Muckelroy, head of the Agricultural Department at Carbondale, contributed in no small way to the enjoyment of the evening. Also the Home Economics girls, under the direction of Miss Gilster, prepared a lunch that left no doubts in anyone’s mind as to their mastery of the culinary art. Small wonder that we have decided that the father and son banquet shall be an annual affair. Page 34 THIRTY-THREE Our next social event was a little less formal, being in the nature of a wiener roast at Fort Gage. The Home Economics girls accepted our invitation to help ur� enjoy this outing, and we have now concluded that hereafter the “Spring Picnic” shall also be an annual affair. During tlu summer vacation several teams went to the University of Illinois to attend the State Judging Contest, in which 1730 boys from all over the state took part. Richard Wilson and John Douglas were ninth in rank as a team in corn judging, and Douglas won first place judging yellow corn. The ooultrv team. William and George Decker, failed to place, but George Decker tied for third place individual in judging Mediterranean breeds. The grain team, Arnold Fev and Charles York, failed to place. Alfred Decker, Willard Rixby, and Robert Knapp failed to place as a dairy judging team, but Robert Knapp tied for first place as Brown Swiss judge. When school opened this year, we centered much of our attention upon the coming F. F. A. Fair at Sparta, and the F. F. A. Grain Show at Belleville. Both of these were purely Future Farmer activities, and our chapter was eager to take part. The list of winnings is much too long to enumerate, but our club won “enough ribbons to present one to each girl in school”, and $359.(X) in cash. Every member keeps the money which his stock or grain wins. George Anghouse deserves special mention for having won the grand championship in corn for the second consecutive year. About 150 samples of corn were entered in the contest each year. After this we wanted a little recreation, and invited the Home Economics girls to a Christmas party. They came “en masse”, and we have hardly recovered from the effects yet. This may partly be responsible for the excellent work-shown by the dairy team that went to Shelbyville. On February 1, George Anghouse. Reuel Allison. Jessie Colvis, Robert Knapp, and Alfred Decker journeyed under the direction of Mr. Colvis to Shelby-ville to attend the State Dairy Judging Contest, sponsored each year bv the Illinois State Dairy Association. Forty-seven schools were represented. Alfred Decker, George Anghouse. and Reuel Allison won first place as a team. Alfred Decker winning highest individual honors. He was awarded a silver pitcher, presented by the governor of Illinois, and the Dairy Association presented him with a pure bred Guernsey heifer. The team received a beautiful silver loving cup, and each member and the instructor was awarded a gold medal. Toward the close of the basketball season the club team defeated the teachers, in what is becoming an annual game, by the score of 18 to 15. We have many activities scheduled for the last two months of school, hut they will be too late to be included in this year’s book.

THE RIP AND DIP CLUB “Today well lived Makes every yesterday a dream of happiness And every tomorrow a vision of hope” W hat is more conducive to that happiness which all of us seek than a knowledge of right living? Mrs. Ellen H. Richards was the first person who thought that r:ght living should be taught in the school. The girl who gets this knowledge builds for herself character, that something within, which governs her actions; and this, too, she will build for the future years. The contacts of life cannot harm it. Time can make it only more mellow, more sympathetic and, hence, priceless. In developing that character we must find a place which we may fill. If we can find a place for ourselves in school, we shall be able to find a happier place in life after school days are over. A spirit of service towards ourselves and towards our fellow beings will help us to establish that definite aim to serve in friendship the girls of our high school, to make our own Home Economics Department. This will show us a way to service in our community as well; and as our school, our homes and community are made better, so is the state, the nation and even the world. In the Rip and Dip Club meetings we discuss problems of the home. Of course we do not solve all of them; but we attempt to see them in the light of present day knowledge and try to meet them in the best possible way—the way which will make us better members of our home and thus of society. This year we have tried to be of definite service by helping several charitable organizations in town. The local Red Cross unit supplied us with thirty-two yards of unbleached muslin, which we made into articles of clothing for them. Just before Christmas we repaired old and made new clothing for dolls which were given out to poor children at the annual Christmas party. Our other activities include things we have done to better our own department in the school—such as, collecting bulletins on various subjects as reference material for Home Economics classes, etc. We try to bring some of onr message to the rest of the school by putting cm programs before the assembly. A well rounded life does not consider work alone. We have also found time for recreation as a club. All of us remember the fun we had at the Home Ec.-A. Christmas partv. Unfortunately, our vice president, Sylvia Kuykendall, found it necessary to leave school during the first semester. Our other officers, Alberta Huskey, president, and Sylvia Harmon, secretary-treasurer, have carried on successfully to the end of the year. We owe a great deal of our success to our advisor, Miss Gilster, who has given much of her time to develop the success of our club. Page 3G THIRTY.THREE Fi -t Row: Myrtle Tudor, Josephine Metier.

DRAMATIC CLUB “Act well thy part; there all the honor lies.” With the close of the school year 1932-1933, the Dramatic Club will have completed its fourth year as an organization of Chester High School. A new plan for admission of new members into the club was instituted this year. Any student of C. H. S. who was satisfactorily carrying his class work and who expressed a desire to become a member, could do so, provided that he took part in some program given before the club. Until he had done this, he was a member only pro tempore. For this purpose the entire club was divided into three groups—each with a group leader. Harry Backer, June Beare, and Fern Stadler. being old members, were appointed group leaders. This plan has been the most satisfactory one that has been tried. ✓ Under the direction of group leaders some worth while programs were presented before the club and before the entire student body. At present each group is working on a one act play. A Thespian is to direct the play, and the best one will be presented before the assembly. The Dramatic Club limited its public programs this year to a declamatory contest with eleven participants and a three act farce comedy, “It Paid to Advertise. ” Velma Cleiman, president; Fern Stadler, vice president; and Dorothy Hoffman, secretary-treasurer, can leave their respective offices, feeling that it has been one of the most successful years the club has enjoyed. Throughout the year, on the part of all members, there has been a splendid spirit of cooperation and willingness to assume responsibility.

GIRLS’ GLEE CLUB “Let all my life be music.” In this lyric, “Let All My Life Be Music”, Elizabeth Evelyn Moore compares life with a harp upon which the joys and pains of life are blended into harmony. Even scientists recognize the soothing or the inspiring value of music upon man. The Girls' Glee Club feels that through an appreciation and interpretation of music, and especially through a joy in singing, life will more nearly approximate the prayer of the lyric, “A wondrous song! A living song!” ending on a major chord. For public presentation the girls selected, as has been their custom, two projects—a concert for the first semester and an operetta for the second. It was agreed that the first program, given in the high school auditorium, December 13, be a benefit for the School Band, and with the proceeds the girls presented the new organization with a bass drum. English, German, Russian, Negro, and Indian numbers offered varied study and enjoyment in girls’, boys’, and mixed groups. The student soloists, Ruth Ruppert, soprano, and Eugene Schoeppel, cornetist. were assisted by an ensemble, composed of Mrs. J. B. Willbrand, Mrs. S. Heuer, Miss O. Hack, and Mr. E. Richter. The club is hoping that its second venture, the production of the musical comedy “Sonia”, will be equally successful. The date planned is April 25, and leading roles will be played by Ruth Ruppert, Wilma Schroeder, June Beare, Dorothy Wittenbrink, Jack Oliver, Cletis Tilton, Charles Meng, Patrick Conner, John Nagel, and Ralph Gilster. Its modern plot and spirited music, we hope, promise interesting entertainment. In addition to these major performances and the regular meetings, twice weekly, the club activities include school assemblies, teachers’ institutes, the baccalaureate service, and at other meetings, for we say with the harp “My only joy to sing.” BOYS’ GLEE CLUB Lawrence Bruce Dean Harris Charles Meng Y aldemar Stewart Pat Conner Ray Harrison John Nagel Cletis Tilton Ralph Gilster Ray Heuer Jack Oliver Richard ilson Page 38 THIRTY-THREE First Row: G!t naril Ilaminack, trumpet; Willa Davis, clarinet; Dorothy Wittenbrink, 15-flat saxophone; Bestow Rudolph, snare drum; Byron Boyington, bass drum; Lillian DcRousse, clarinet; Ray Ceiman, K-flat saxophone.

YELLOWJACKET BAND For some time, before the fall of 1932, efforts had been made in Chester to bring about a young people's band. These efforts caused several of the boys and girls in town to become students of various band instruments, but a good band was never successfully organized. The interest of the Hoard of Education was attracted to these beginners, and it decided to provide an instructor for them. Mrs. Frieda Duncan of Carbondale was employed as a part time teacher of music. The Chester High School Band was organized in September, 1932. under her direction. Eleven members started in September, but since that time more and more students have become interested, until at present the membership totals twenty-four with several beginners not quite ready for the band. It has played at two or three home football games and at almost all home basketball games. Three other public appearances of a different nature are also on record—once before the Parent-Teachers' Association and twice for home talent plays at the New Theatre. Then, too, the group often rendered valuable assistance on Tuesday morning programs in the assembly. The band has certainly shown remarkable and gratifying improvement. Each time an appearance is made the members seem to play better than before, and at this time they are able to give a truly enjoyable program. The Glee Club, under the direction of Miss Ophelia Hack, presented the band with a bass drum; the Dramatic Club, under the direction of Miss Leona Burmeister, has donated a baritone horn. Appreciation by the members was shown to such an extent that they were moved to the basement in order that other classes about school might not be affected by their ardor. With such spirit and co-operation from the students and band members, coupled with loyalty and stick-to-it-iveness, Chester High School will soon have a standard band, able to compete in contests on a basis with schools of its own rank.

FOOTBALL Going through a nine game schedule, the most difficult one ever attempted by a Chester High School football team, the Yellow Jackets won three, tied one, and lost live encounters for a record that fell below the expectations of a majority of local gridiron enthusiasts. Although the local eleven scored in only three games, they outscored their opponents for the entire season, 98 to 93. For the most part the games were either won or lost by wide margins, and only in the second Crystal City game did both teams cross the goal line. The largest score for an individual game was made against Dupo, 39 to 0, which constitutes the highest number of points on record ever made by a Chester football team in one game, while the closest score of the season was made with the Sparta Blue Streaks, who defeated the Yellow Jackets 8 to 0. The season opened with a night game against Crystal City (Missouri) High School, and the interstate rivals turned back the Yellow Jackets by a 20 to 0 score. The wearers of the Orange and Black were plainly suffering from nervousness, and in three quick sharp thrusts the Missourians were able to tally all their points. It marked the first time that Chester and Crystal City ever engaged in an athletic contest of any kind. DuQuoin, boasting of one of the best teams in Southern Illinois, visited the local gridiron for the second game of the year, and easily defeated the Yellow Jackets by a 26 to 0 score. Although Chester was outclassed in every department of the game, some of the players still showed signs of nervousness, probably due to their lack of experience. Page 40 THIRTY-THREE 'I'he Yellow Jackets chalked up their first victory of the 1932 season against Dupo High School. The experience garnered from the first two games, coupled with the return of some of the members to active service, lx)ded ill for Dupo. The team clicked with deadly precision. “Preacher” Bruce, assisted by excellent interference and good teamwork, scored five touchdowns and two extra points to set an all time individual scoring record for one game. The light Dupo team could not stop or pierce the heavy Orange and Black front line, and Chester won with ease a 39 to 0 game. St. Vincent’s High School of Perryville, Mo., old time rival on the gridiron, was given a surprise drubbing to the tune of 33 to 0. 'I'he proteges of Coach Simmons used nothing but line plays, and against them the light line of Red and White could offer no solid defense. The satisfaction gained from the victory was sweet revenge for the overwhelming defeat handed the Yellow Jackets two years previous. Nashville, whom Chester defeated 33 to 0 the year before, proved to be a Tartar, and the Yellow Jackets were forced to accept a 20 to 0 verdict against them on the opponent’s home field. Although the Chester team was weakened by the absence of some of its first string men, the lighter Nashville team proved to be remarkably superior. They gave a demonstration of the Pop Warner double wing-back” formation that was a credit to the master himself as they tore off long gains around the ends. The second consecutive tie game with the Pinckneyville Blue Diamonds was registered on their field when both teams battled to a scoreless deadlock, in a battle that was “doped” to go to Chester by a comfortable margin. The year before the game between the count)' seat elevens resulted in a 6 to 6 score. The absence of some of the seasoned players contributed to this upset. However, some of the subs did a noble job at filling the regulars’ berths. Sparta, Chester’s oldest and most traditional athletic rival, furnished the opposition for the Yellow Jackets in the second annual Homecoming game played here on Armistice Day in a field ankle deep with melting snow and mud. A safety in the first quarter and a touchdown in the closing minutes of the game gave the Blue Streaks an 8 to 0 victory. Crystal City paid a return call here for the eighth game of the schedule, and the early season defeat was avenged as the Yellow Jackets opened up with a brand new attack to annex an unexpected 26 to 6 victory. This game also was played on a field covered with snow and mud. “Fat” Schaardt, in his new role as fullback, made good use of his avoirdupois as he ripped and tore through the opponent’s line to lead the way to a well deserved triumph. 'ITe annual Thanksgiving Day classic against the Green Pirates of Perryville High School found the Yellow Jackets slightly outclassed, and a brilliant drive in the first quarter plus a freak play in the final period gave the over-the-river rivals a 13 to 0 decision. The game was hard fought throughout. Although the Yellow Jackets found themselves on the defensive a greater part of the time, they truly showed themselves to be real men as they stubbornly turned back the furious offensive drives of the deadly blocking and hard hitting Pirates. Five letter men will be lost to Coach Simmons next year. Earl Staley, halfback; Sherill, who received honorable mention on the all-state team, tackle and punter extraordinary; Alfred Decker, center and four year player; Lawrence Bruce, fullback; and Wayne Smith, end, will leave a gap that will be hard to fill. Page 4 THE SUMMIT Despite the loss of these stellar performers the outlook for the coming season is indeed encouraging. Thirteen letter men, one for each position on the team, will be eligible for duty in 1933, and around these a strong eleven can undoubtedly be moulded. Crippen, a brilliant back with two years of experience, will undoubtedly become the mainstay of a light but shifty and smooth-running backfield. His running mates will most likely be picked from the sextet of backs made up of Conner, Tilton, A. Cowell. G. Decker, Sprengel, and Hertich. The seasoned stalwarts of the line who will be available are Sehaardt, W. Decker, Welge, and Eggers. The pivot position is likely to fall to Heihn, a somewhat inexperienced man with plenty of tight and avoirdupois. The wingmen will most likely be picked from the trio of letter men made up of E. Cowell, Backer, and Nordmeyer. Around these letter men is a fringe of several other players who have learned quite a lot on the practice held, although they didn’t get into enough games to win a letter. Some of them have a bulldog persistence which bodes ill to the chances of the more experienced men. FOOTBALL SCHEDULE FOR 1933 Date Opponent Place Sept. 30 . Cathedral H. S.

Goranson’s work as coach of the Yellow Jackets. lie is a former student of Craig Ruby, having graduated from the University of Illinois in 1931. Under his tutorship the Yellow Jackets developed and made use of a fast-breaking pivot-block system. Although his system differed only slightly from that used by Coach Simmons, his predecessor, it was new. In spite of the brilliancy of the pre-seasonal outlook, that fact alone explains to a great extent a season which might be termed average when compared with previous records. Aside from the statistical view the season was a very successful one. Not for some time has Chester placed a group of Yellow Jackets on the hardwood with such ability to make a determined drive against overwhelming odds as that shown by the 1932-33 group. Game after game found the Yellow Jackets putting on a terrific drive in the latter part of the game to win in the closing minutes of play. This tremendous reserve demonstrated by the members of the team tended to make every game a close one. In only two instances were the Yellow Jackets beaten by decisive scores. From the standpoint of the spectators the entire season provided plenty of thrills and excitement. As a result, there was a revival of interest in basketball that was fairly well sustained from beginning to end. A resume of the 1932-33 season shows a winning percentage of .534. It also shows a total of 313 points scored for an average of 20 a game, while the opponents scored 327 points for an average of 22 per game. Marissa provided the first opposition of the season for the Yellow Jackets. The local team had not fully recovered from the effects of football, and the St. Clair county team led throughout the entire contest to win by three points, the score being 19 to 16. Page 4:? THE SUMMIT The Pinckneyville Blue Diamonds subdued the Yellow Jackets there by the overwhelming score of 36 to 12. Inability to hit the basket with any degree of accuracy cost Chester the game, but improvement in pass work and general handling of the ball presaged the success that was to follow. Chester marked up a game on the winning side of the ledger by taking Coulterville into camp by a 21 to 13 score. The Orange and Black basketeers were never in danger and coasted to an easy victory before a large crowd. Rising to heights never before expected of them, the Yellow Jackets played a brilliant game to turn back the Dupo Tigers 14 to 10. Their general all around playing left nothing to be desired, and the four year domination of Dupo over Chester in basketball was broken in a manner that caused local fans to thrill with excitement. Playing on their own tloor, Red Bud fell before a determined attack in which all of the Chester players took part to lose by 41 to 26. The offensive plays clicked in scintillating fashion, and only when the second team was inserted into the fray did the assault on the basket slow down. Playing at home before the largest crowd of the season, the Yellow Jackets lost to the Sparta Blue Streaks, 16 to 23. The traditional rivals piled up a nice lead in the early quarters of the game that could not be cut down despite a rally in the last quarter. Ragged pass work and erratic goal shooting marked the playing of the Orange and Black team. Staging a sensational comeback in the fourth period, the Yellow Jackets nosed out the Perryville, Mo., quintet by one point, the score being 29 to 28. With the contest seemingly lost at half time, the local crew continued to fight back, slowly but surely cutting down the lead, and then put on an extra burst of speed to coast to a hard fought victory while pandemonium raged on the side lines. Marissa was the next team to bow before the Yellow Jackets. An early lead compiled in the first half provided the necessary reserve to stave off a determined Marissa rally and Chester won, 31 to 26. For the second time during the season the Yellow Jackets bowed to the Sparta Blue Streaks in one of the most peculiar games of the season. A Chester offensive could not get under way the first half, and at the halfway mark Sparta led 10 to 2. Scoring eight points while holding their opponents to two free throws, the Yellow Jackets courageously fought back, but the time was too limited and the local aggregation lost, 10 to 12. Waterloo, there, proved to be easy opposition for the Yellow Jackets. Playing leisurely, the Goransonmen managed to keep ahead of their opponents to win 22 to 17. In a thrilling battle the Pinckneyville Blue Diamonds defeated the Yellow Jackets 23 to 21 on the local court. The lead changed frequently during the course of the game, and the issue was in doubt until the final whistle. Long distance shooting by the visiting players sealed the verdict and caused defeat for the Chester cagers. Dupo settled an old grudge by taking the Yellow Jackets into camp by a 30 to 14 score. The Tigers, off to an early start, were never in danger, and for the second time during the season the Yellow Jackets had the score doubled on them. A seven point lead at the end of the first half melted rapidly away for the determined attack of the Coulterville cagers. The game was thrown into an overtime period when at the end of the regular playing period the score stood 18 to 18. Chester took a two point lead in the extra period, but the opponents counted two field goals to win by 22 to 20. Page 44 THIRTY-THREE Chester was forced to come from behind to win the second game from Red Bud here. The visitors jumped into an early lead, and at one time the score stood 16 to 4 against the Yellow Jackets. Coming back strong in the final period, the local cagers began hitting the basket with some degree of regularity to win out, 27 to 22. Nineteen to eighteen was the score of the Waterloo game with Chester the winner. The last cage battle of the season was a thriller from beginning to end. Chester, as so many times before in the season, was forced to come from behind to snatch the game out of the fire. Rated a favorite to take the Sparta District Tournament, the Yellow Jackets were defeated by Baldwin in the semi-finals, 11 to 10, but defeated Marissa in the consolation round, 38 to 33, to win third place. Chester took Coulterville out of the running, 13 to 12, and on the basis of comparative scores should have advanced to the final round. The brunt of the work will most likely fall upon the shoulders of this year’s second team, the members of which were all Juniors. During the present season, this group won six games out of nine starts for a winning percentage of .667. With the help of some of the members of the Junior team, they were able to capture the third place trophy in the Steeleville Invitational Tournament. In addition some of these players saw quite a bit of action as substitutes for the varsity. Although the Junior team saw little action as a group during the season, the members of this team as individuals gained quite a lot of experience. Their work in the Sparta Junior Tournament was indeed pleasing. It is very likely that next year’s varsity group will find one or two of these boys on its roll. WRESTLING During each of the last two years, half a semester of wrestling has been offered to the boys who were members of the P. E. classes. This year additional training in wrestling has been offered for those who cared to take it. In class the boys were paired off according to their weight and ability. After each new activity had been demonstrated to them, the boys in turn attempted to do it. At first the opponent of each man offered no resistance. Gradually this non-resistance was lessened until each boy was wrestling against the total powers of his opponent. The boys wrestled amateur style, according to the rules of the National Athletic Association. No bone breaking, strangling, or punishing holds of any kind were allowed. All unnecessary roughness was barred, speed and science being the keynotes throughout. Some attempts were made to enter a few of the boys in matches with outside schools. These attempts were made late in the season and were declined in every instance for that reason. However, these attempts have made it possible for wrestling to become a minor sport next year. University City, Ritenour, and Clayton High Schools of St. Louis County have each invited us to participate in dual meets. There is some probability that these invitations will be accepted. The winners for each weight division elimination bouts staged in the P. E. classes were: M. Tindall. 95 lb. class; II. Johnson, 105 lb. class; C. Tilton. 115 lb. class; A. Gray, 125 lb. class: H. Bartels, 135 lb. class; P. Conner, 145 lb. class; R. Eggers, 155 lb. class; P. Kirk, 165 lb. class. F’a{re 45 THE SUMMIT TRACK This is the fourth consecutive year that C. H. S. has placed a track squad in the field and given the sport an equal rating with football and basketball. In so far as this writer can determine track activities previous to 1930 were carried on by a few individuals who competed in the larger meets in their favorite events. It is regretted that only a few records of these events have been preserved in the school files. In the 1932 season Chester placed sixth in the invitational meet held at DuQuoin. Sherrill. Bixby, and Phegley scored points in competition with athletes of twelve schools. The second meet was won by Dupo with 62 points to her credit. Chester scored 42 points and New Athens 22. In this meet Raymond Kipp established a new school record of 10.5 seconds in the 1 (X) yard dash, and equaled the 220 yard dash record of 24.5 seconds made by Gillespie in 1931. Captain Phegley ran the 440 yards in 55.9 seconds and Staley threw the javelin 139 feet, both boys breaking their own school record. I he dual engagement with Pinckneyville was held on a dirt track and in a downpour of rain. While the performance in each event was below par, the ellowjaekets had little difficulty in winning, 61 to 43. May 14, Bixby, Phegley, and Kipp entered the district meet at Lebanon, but failed to place. Six hoys qualified for letters by establishing a new school record or by winning ten points for the season. These awards were made to Willard Bixby, Captain A. Phegley, William Sherrill. Earl Staley. Everette Rieckenberg, and Raymond Kipp. On Mav 21, the call went out for all the boys who were interested in track for the 1933 season to report for practice. The number of boys, especially Freshmen and Sophomores, answering the call far exceeded the coach’s expectations. Although no meet had been definitely scheduled at that time, nearly twenty-five boys began taking daily workouts. A few others who are unable to practice in the afternoons are expected to engage in the class meets. The weather conditions have been anything but ideal, but most of the squad will be in good condition for a meet in a short time. 1 hree letter men, Sherrill, Kipp, and Staley, along with Conner, W. Smith. Bruce, C. I ilton. Nagel. P. Wolff, Easterly, Heihn, and Nordmeyer, who were squad members last year, will constitute a nucleus around which a well balanced team may be formed. Those reporting for the first time are Sprengel, W. Paetzhold, Bunselmeyer. Asbury, Moeller, Ponder, A. Cowell, Hertich, A. Rieckenberg, Kuykendall, and Boyington. Seniors will compete against Juniors; and Sophomores, against Freshmen on April 6. I his meet will give an opportunity for every boy to show his wares. f )n April 15 a Freshman relay team and a few of the most promising members of the squad will attend a meet at DuQuoin. ()n April 22 the team will attempt to show their heels to the Pincknev-ville “Blue Diamonds”. Chester, Madison, and Dupo will clash in a triangular engagement April 29. Boys who show outstanding ability in these meets will go to the district meet on May 13. We hope to have some who will qualify for the state finals in Champaign a week later.

The Yeowlers were organized in the fall of 1930 by a small group of girls. They felt that Chester High School needed more united pep and a better spirit of sportsmanship, especially at athletic games. The officers consist of a president, secretary and treasurer, and two yell leaders. There are three classes of membership—first, second, and third-class Yeow-lers. Class is based upon their attendance at home or foreign games. School service points are awarded to this club just the same as to any other organization in the high school. However, only those who attain first and second class are given points. This club has increased in number each year—membership being permitted to girls only. It seems to have met a specific need in Chester High, and its success attests to its favor among the students. The officers for the year of 1933 are: Fern Stadler, president; Virginia Wittenborn, secretary and treasurer; Arcell Depew, cheer leader; Marguerite Snyder, assistant cheer leader. Page it THE SUMMIT THE P. ED. CARNIVAL For some time there has been a law in the State of Illinois demanding that secondary schools furnish an adequate course in physical education. During recent years the State Department has gradually been bringing more and more pressure to bear on the schools reluctant in complying with this law. During the summer of 1931 the Board of Education of C. H. S. inaugurated a plan whereby this school should he brought to full compliance with this law before the school year of 1933-34. Mr. Goranson was employed to instruct the Freshman and Sophomore boys, and Mrs. H. Juergens as a part-time instructor, to teach physical education for the Freshman and Sophomore girls. This year physical education was required of all but Seniors, and the plan now is to include all students next year. The Physical Education Carnival in the spring of 1932 marked the crowning event of the year for the physical education classes. The gymnasium at the grade school building was beautifully decorated with green boughs and white flowers. Parents and friends jammed the place to overflowing. The girls and boys of the physical education classes in turn demonstrated gymnastic dancing, marching, tumbling, wrestling, and boxing. The climax of the evening was the coronation of the May Queen, who with her attendants had been elected by students at the price of one cent a vote. Dorothy Hoffman was chosen as the Queen of May and Edith Smith, Lucille Mueller, Fern Stadler, and Virginia Wittenborn, her attendants. Because of her superior scholastic records in comparison with other Senior girls, Anna Ruth Backer was given the honor of presiding at the coronation of the cjneen. At the close of the ceremonv the members of the eighth grade did the May dance for the queen and her party. Tage 48 THIRTY-THREE THE NATIONAL ATHLETIC SCHOLARSHIP SOCIETY OF SECONDARY SCHOOLS CHAPTER NO. 1420 The National Athletic Scholarship Society was originated several years ago. Its purpose is to encourage scholarship and sportsmanship among the athletes of secondary schools. It is an honorary organization and, as such, offers an honorary membership highly desirable to every ambitious youth in secondary schools. To become a member of the organization one must win a major letter or two minor letters, hold a scholastic average above the general average of his fellow students for three consecutive semesters, and receive the recommendation of the principal as an outstanding personage with reference to general ability and conduct. The attention of the C. H. S. students was first called to the organization during the school year of 1930-’31, and as a result Clyde Barnard. Glen Beare, Russel McGuire. Adrian Phegley, and Henry Bunselmeyer were the first C. Id. S. students to become members. Barnard was a three-letter man whose scholastic average was nearly perfect. Beare with a high scholastic average won his letter in track due to his proficiency in the high jump and the pole vault. McGuire won letters in both football and basketball. Phegley won a letter for his work at end with the foot-hall squad and as a distance runner with the track team. Bunselmeyer won his letter on the gridiron. Beare and Barnard graduated, but the other three, being underclassmen, returned to achieve further honors in class and on the field. During the school year of 1931-’32 Earl Staley, Elmer Schaardt, Owen Easterly, William Berry, and Willard Bixby met the requirements for membership. Staley won letters as a halfback on the football eleven, as a guard on the basketball team and as a hurler of the javelin with the track squad. Easterly won letters in both football and basketball, having played at quarterback with the football team and at guard with the basketball team. Schaardt won letters as a guard in both football and basketball. Berry won his letter as a tackle, while Bixby won his as a distance runner. With the addition of these students to the local group, the national organization granted the C. H. S. a charter to form local chapter No. 1420. The national society outlines no plans for the formation of a local chapter. It was thought best to have an active president of the local chapter and two alumni advisors. Accordingly, an ejection was held at which Owen Easterly was elected active president, with Clyde Barnard and Russel McGuire, alumni advisors. The plans are to keep the same alumni advisors as long as they care to act in their somewhat honorary capacities, and to elect an active president annually. At the end of the football season this year Patrick Conner, Earl Cowell, Harry Backer, and Edgar Welge were recommended for membership by Principal I.. V. Krutsinger. They were initiated at the beginning of the second semester and taken in as members of the local chapter. Since then Cowell has won his letter for work at guard with the basketball team. Conner is a good sprinter anti will most probably win a track letter this season. Activity in connection with the local chapter is picking up rapidly. It is hoped that the group will he able to have a get-together dinner at the spring initiation if there are any others eligible for the society at that time. They also plan to get together for a dinner and possibly an evening of fun at Homecoming time. Pape 49 THE SUMMIT THE NATIONAL THESPIANS TROUPE 237 It has now been definitely recognized that students should he rewarded for their participation in dramatics as others are given recognition and reward for representing the school in athletic sports. To serve this end. the National Thespians came into being. This national honorary society is non-secret, non-social, and is devoted exclusively to dramatics within senior high schools of recognized standing. The aims of the society are: 1. To develop a spirit of active and intelligent interest in dramatics among high school boys and girls. 2. To assist directors and students in the selection and presentation of worth-while high school plays. a. To provide a suitable reward for excellence in high school dramatics. 4. To acquaint directors and students with the general progress made in dramatics among other high schools, and to encourage the exchange of ideas. 5. To secure royalty reductions on the best plays. Qualifications for individual memberships are: 1. A regularly enrolled student of an accredited high school, of satisfactory scholarship, who has played with merit in a major role of one long play, or two one-act plays, staged by the institution, and has done work of such quality as to be approved by the director, shall be eligible to membership. 2. Minor speaking parts in three long plays, or four one-act plays, may be accepted as meeting the requirements of membership. Upon petition to the National Council at Fairmount, West Virginia, Chester High School was granted permission to organize local troupe No. 237. On February 9, 1933. in the presence of parents, members of the faculty, and friends, Olga Gilster, Dorothy Hoffman, Fern Stadler, and Ralph Gilster were initiated as charter members into this honorary society. At a later meeting Dorothy Hoffman was elected president; Olga Gilster. vice president; and Fern Stadler, secretary-treasurer. With the installation of this new society in Chester High School, we hope to be able to raise the standard of dramatic productions and create an incentive for excellence in performance. The National Thespian organization will cooperate with the Dramatic Club, and it is through work in the Dramatic Club that students will become eligible to membership in the National Thespian Society. “—Let your own discretion be your tutor: suit the action to the word, the word to the action: with this special observance, that you o'er step not the modesty of nature; for anything so overdone is from the purpose of playing, whose end, both at the first and now. was and is, to hold, as 'twere, the mirror up to nature; show virtue her own feature, scorn her own image, and the very age and body of the time his form and pressure.

If we print jokes, people say we’re silly; If we don’t, they say we are too serious; If we clip them from other magazines. We are too lazy to write them ourselves; It we don’t, we are too stuck on our own stuff; If we stick close to the job all day. We ought to he hunting up news: If we do gel out and try to hustle. We ought to he on the job in the office; If we don’t print contributions. We don’t appreciate genius; And if we do print them, the annual is full of junk; It we make a change in the other fellow’s write-up. We are too critical; If we don’t we are asleep; Now like as not. somebody will say We swiped this from some other annual.
