THIRTY-FIVE OUR LINK TO YESTERDAY Built in 1858, referred to in the language of an earlier day as the Big Brick and also as The Pride of Southern Illinois , it stands today a minor unit of a much larger structure—its identity unknown to many even of those whose education was received here. In 1882 the Big Brick became but a two-story wing of a three-story school building which was again enlarged in 1904 by the addition of still another wing consisting of four commodious rooms. Changed is its threshold, transformed is its roof, modernized its heating system, gone the bell from its roof-ridge, yet for more than three-fourths of a century have its walls resounded with the laughter and optimism of children who have here received the lessons that have prepared them to meet the responsibilities of life. These children, photographed in 1876, constituted the intermediate department taught at that time by Miss Mollie Payne, who stands near the center of the picture. Of this group, many have passed into the Great Beyond. So far as we are able to ascertain, only five are now residents of this community: William Tackenberg, the second from the left in the picture: Mattie Nesbit, who stands directly in front of the teacher: Channing Smith, who stands third from the right end: Charles Schirmer, who stands seventh from the left end, and Theophilus Schirmer, who stands fourth from the right end of the line. Standing about third from the teacher's left is Susannah Tate, through whose kindness and generosity this photograph was obtained. Miss Tate, an alumna of the Class of 1885, now resides at Lakin, Kansas. To make the passing of time more real, a large elm tree has grown at the left of the picture until now it casts its protecting shade over that end of the building. Thus, time passes, but the Pride of Yesterday has not been destroyed. Instead, it has been incorporated as an integral part of a larger unit and so continues to render service long after many of its contemporaries are gone. Page 7 SUMMIT HISTORY — ROMANCE — DREAMS A fire-place does not know anything. It is inanimate. But if this one could talk, it could tell many stories and facts concerning early Illinois. Built when Illinois was made a territory, it has since occupied most of one wall in the south room in the executive mansion of Lieutenant-Governor Pierre Menard. Together with the ancient wooden clock above it, it has withstood the ravages of time. Both are in perfect condition in the rambling old house built below the brow of Fort Gage Hill.

CLASS OF '36 (With apologies to Mr. Shakespeare) Setting—A lonely, desolate spot before a bright fire and bubbling pot. Characters—Three witches representing Past, Present, and Future. Junior Class. Present: I've sent Junior Class an invitation To come and see our recreation. Past: Wise we are and very shrewd; I’ll show him old pleasures renewed. Present: And I shall show him pictures dear Of all the happenings of this year. Future: But best of all I'll give him sight And on his future throw some light. Past: Mix studies, sorrows, and the joys Of each of the girls and boys. Season with madness, and laughter and tears The pot of recollections of their two and half years. Present: Boil to a bubble their pain and trouble, Divide sorrows, and pleasures double. Future: For the one and half years yet to come Let there be little rain and a great deal of sun. Page 22 THIRTY-FIVE Past: (Enter Junior Class.) Hail, Junior Class, to see you I'm glad. 1 bring bright recollections of the sorrowing and sad. Present: I'll show you as the world of today Sees you in your work and play. Future: I'll give you the pleasure of looking on, While the gay tomorrows pass in a throng. Past: The pot is bubbling and boiling over. Quick, sister, stoop and lift the cover. Past: (A large, awkward boy, trying to hid a scared and cowed expres sion by a look of bravado, steps from the pot.) Do you not yourself in this guise As a dumb Freshman recognize? Jr. Class: That 1 looked like that 1 cannot believe. Past: Are you sure the pot does not deceive? The pot that boils upon the fire Is not a fake or a liar. Now come forth, one by one. The lessons that you first begun. (Enter Latin, English, Algebra, General Science, and Cooking.) Give way, give way to the dancing sprites, Who laugh and quarrel and engage in fights. Jr. Class: (Appears boys and girls looking about six years old.) But we were Freshmen 'while ago— Past: Why these children? 1 do not know. What a slender thread your memory is; Present: This is your Sophomore party of kids. Sister, you've taken too much time; We only have left eight minutes or nine. Step gaily forth from the earthen pot And show this young man what he thinks he's not. Present: (A boy and girl step forth.) They act as if they own the world and the knowledge in it. But the world laughs on, as you will see in a minute. Future: Say no more, sister dear; I'll give you a view of the following year. (Enter a group of boys and girls in formal attire.) This represents some joys to come; Your banquet will be lots of fun. Past: (Enter group in graduating gowns.) Stand and witness, sigh and smile; Here's how you'll be in a little while. The time is up, the fire is low, And, Junior Class, you'll have to go.

Since this change was so radical, we decided to change officers to keep in step. On election day, we decided in favor of Richard Conner for president, Herman Tilton for vice-president, and Virginia Easterly for secretary and treasurer. Mr. Krutsinger submitted the names of our class advisors, whom we were pleased to find were Miss Burmeister and Mr. Goranson. On the evening of November 26, 1934, the members of the Sophomore Class met at the Chester High School for a party. After several humorous and enjoyable games, we engaged in an everybody sing program, using some of the popular songs of the day. After this, we fished for fortunes, following which we went downstairs and were served a delightful lunch. Some of the students in the Sophomore Class to be proud of are: Kenneth Doyle, the master mathematician; Harvey Decker, the future English prof; James Lewis, the mad scientist; Wilbert Harrison, the greatest historian of the day (who will teach history from a reclining chair); and Ray Robert Cleiman, who is the second Julius Caesar. Included among the afflicted ones in our midst, and shown with their weaknesses, are: Roland Gneagy, talking too much; Madelon Farrell, chewing gum; Herman Tilton, thinking aloud; Virginia Easterly, stiff neck; Mary Belle Detrich, southern accent; Dan Magers, Miss Boon's blue ink; Wilberta Rebbe, talking; Bud Aspley, food; Irma Buatte, cosmetics; John Born, English; Marcella Palmier, Ruel Allison; Everette Adams, blushes; Elizabeth Boyte, Bach; Mary Louise Mueller, boffing people; David Laymon, green cars; Bettie Belle Etherton, drawing; Harold Holmes, reading Popular Science magazines in seventh hour study hall; Janet Johnson, reciting in history; Fred Borgard, studying; Melba Weber, eating candy; Lonzo Hopkins, writing stories; and Marion Witten-brink, dancing. The familiar pet sayings of members of our class include: Rapped on the beak —Eugene Hornberger; Somebody hooked my book —Bud Aspley; Goo-goo — David Laymon; Hello —James Lewis; Etc., —Glennard Hammack; Abite domum —George Roegler; Hey, wait a minute —David Harmon; I don' know —Harold Hetteshiemer; What's your answer? —Harvey Decker; Wait a second —Spencer '■ack low: J.

We now wish to mention our athletic stars. Those who are outstanding in football are: Dan Magers, Fred Borgard, David Laymon, Harry McGuire, and William Dil-worth, who play in the line; and Wilbert Harrison and Herman Tilton, who play end. Those who show their skill in basketball are David Laymon, Dan Magers, Herman Tilton, and Wilbert Harrison. Our outstanding farmers are Paul Stallman, Jack Atchison, Paul Smith, Harvey Decker, Wilbert Troue, Harold Holmes, Dan Magers, David Harmon, William Dilworth, Myron Been, Harold Hetteshiemer, John Born, Fred Borgard, James Blechle, and Edward Siemers. We are sure the following girls will make good housewives because they are taking home economics: Janet Johnson, Ethel Vieregge, Jewel Miflin, Geneva Burditt, Marcella Palmier, Irma Buatte, Irma Eilers, Marie Helmers, and Dorothy Kirk. The talented ones and their talents include LaVerne Welge, elocution; Bud Aspley, literary attributes; Elizabeth Boyte, music; Irma Buatte, tap dancing; Spenser Brown, Ray Cleiman, Glennard Hammack, Eugene Hornberger, Herman Tilton, orchestra and band music, and Mary Ruth Sowers, poetess. The budding Broadway stars of The Thread of Destiny are James Lewis, Made-Ion Farrell, LaVerne Welge, Marcella Palmier, Albert Wehner, Mary Belle Detrich, Everette Adams, Bettie Belle Etherton, Wilberta Rebbe, and Elizabeth Boyte. The things for which the Sophomore Class is famous are: (I) its everlasting talking, (2) its beautiful but dumb girls, (3) its smart but bashful boys, (4) its ability for making its parties a success, and (5) ifs splendid behavior. With all apologies to those mentioned above and to the whole class, we submit this masterpiece of the History of the Sophomore Class to the editor of the Summit, who has stopped our prattling and gossiping tongues with the announcement that this is two days overdue.

THIRTY-FIVE FOOTBALL This year, the Yellow Jackets were faced with an eight-game schedule. Winning three, tieing one, and losing four is a record second only to last year's. These results seem even more creditable when we consider the material from which our squad came. Eleven of the players, who received letters this year, had never played before. Graduation called to all of last year's regulars, leaving only six lettermen, around which Coach Simmons built this year's squad. Whitey Cowell, Weber, and Mueller clinched three of fhe backfield positions. Decker and Adams played as ends from fhe start, and Gray filled a guard position. From new material our coach selected his remaining five players: Paul Kirk and Allison were picked for tackles: Magers and C. Kirk alternated at the left guard: and Dilworth, a Pinckneyville letterman, was chosen for the pivot position. Hertich completed the backfield for the opening game. Although the Jackets were rather of medium size and weight, our best plays were power drives over the tackles and guards. End runs worked very well, but passing was almost impossible. As a whole, the Jackets were stronger on defense than on offense. The Yellow Jackets, led by Decker and Gray, were successful in blocking seven punts. One rolled into the end zone for a safety, and three were converted into touchdowns. Friday night, September 29th, the Yellow Jackets journeyed to Belleville to meet Cathedra! High. The game was played in a blinding rainstorm, which slowed the action of both teams. Cathedral had a slight edge, however, and in the second quarter scored twice by long runs over center and tackle. The second half settled into a defensive battle for Chester. Cathedral won, 13-0. October 6th, the Yellow Jackets entered a float in the big Tri-City Exposition of the International Shoe Company. Dupo came to Chester and our game was part of the day’s entertainment. Besides our band, the Carbondale Junior Drum Corps and the Grand Tower Drum Corps performed during intermissions. Our first victory of the season was gained this day—our third annual encounter with Dupo and our third victory over this team. On the first running play of the ball game, Cowell reversed the field for a sixty-yard run, but was recalled because of an off-sides penalty. In the second quarter, Dupo scored, after a long pass had advanced the ball near our goal line. A sixty-yard march by the Jackets evened the score, and an extra point gave us the lead. A safety from a blocked punt by Kennedy made the score 9-6. In the last few minutes of the game, Dupo had the ball inside our ten-yard line twice, but Taggert saved the day when he was called to punt the ball from our end zone. When the final whistle blew, the ball was on the one-foot line. Bert Phegley, who is a good blocker, became a regular in this game, and greatly strengthened the team in its offensive play. In a rough and ragged battle, the Yellow Jackets lost to Pinckneyville, 7-6, Friday night, October 19th. This touchdown was Pinckneyville's first against a Yellow Jacket team. Last year Chester defeated them, and the two years before ties resulted. Both scores were made in the second quarter: a forty-yard run through center scored for Pinckneyville, and a blocked punt on the four-yard line put Chester in a scoring position. Because of injuries and ineligibilities, our players were changed to various posi- Page 33 SUMMIT tions. Tilton and Magers played in the backfield, and Hoffman won his place on the team as a guard. Freddie Mueller's punting in this game was outstanding. October 27th, the Jackson, Missouri, aggregation gave Chester its worst defeat of the season. The Jackson team, which was superior in both offensive and defensive play, scored six times. The Jackets could neither stop the offensive play nor score. The game was played on our local field in a thirty-mile gale which made punting and passing disastrous for us. Jackson's first score resulted from an intercepted pass. A number of fans came over from Jackson. The Yellow Jackets gained their second victory when they met Crystal City at the Fair Grounds, November 3rd. Allison was shifted to the backfield and Magers to tackle, a comb.nation which seemed to work well. For the third year the game was played on a muddy field. Crystal City played defensive football during the entire game. In the second half, the Yellow Jackets scored twice: Once on power plays, and once by an intercepted pass by Allison. Chester, 12; Crystal City, 0. Monday, November 12, proved to be a blue Monday for C. H. S. gridsters and grid enthusiasts. This was Chesters Homecoming and a large number of local fans lined the sides of the field. Our band marched from the courthouse to the field, where if disbanded until the half. The Sparta band and many Sparta rooters were present to help their team to success. Sparta was out for a victory, and Chester could not stop them. The Blue Streaks scored in the first five minutes after a bad punt by Allison. Two more touchdowns and a safety were made by Sparta, totaling the score, 21-0. The Jackets' slump affected not only defensive, but also offensive play. First row: A. Decker, D. Magers, A. Gray, W. Dilworth, C. Hoffman, D. Laymon, B, Adams. Second row: Coach Simmons, C.

W. Cowell. O. Tilton. E. Finnegan, L. Simms, H. McGuire, B. Brooke. THIRTY-FIVE The third victory of the season for Chester High was gained over St. Vincent on the local gridiron November 23rd. Chester's first touchdown came after a blocked punt on St. Vincent's ten-yard line. In the second quarter Phegley intercepted a pass and scored after a fifty-yard run. Next, Roth, our fast-running Freshman, crossed the goal after a fluke punt by St. Vincent had been grounded on their own ten-yard line. The score was Chester, 19, and St. Vincent, 0. Our Thanksgiving Day game at Perryville resulted in a tie, 6-6. Perryville scored before the Yellow Jackets were even allowed to handle the ball. In the first five minutes of the second quarter, the hard-fighting Jackets blocked a punt just inside the twenty-yard line. A first and ten was made, and then after three line plunges, the ball was carried over. Perryville's passing attack was the most dreaded one we had faced. Laymon, who played center, was largely responsible for our aerial defense. This game was interesting to the fans because the last two-thirds of it was just one drive after another in every part of the field, neither team being able to score. Borgard played well during the whole of this game as tackle in both offensive and defensive play. At the end of the season, Adolph Decker was chosen captain of the squad by the lettermen. For each game an acting captain was appointed by our coach. Letters were received by seven Seniors: Decker, Gray, Weber, Phegley, P. Kirk, C. Kirk, and Kennedy: five Juniors: A. Cowell, Adams, Allison, Hoffman, and Taggert; five Sophomores: Laymon, Magers, H. Tilton, Dilworth, and Borgard: and one Freshman: Roth. Thirteen of these eighteen boys received their first football reward. Others who finished the season but didn't play enough for a letter are Harrison, Brooke, Ebert, Man-sker, W. Cowell, McGuire, Finnegan, and O. Tilton. As only seven of the players will graduate, next year's team will be composed completely of lettermen, with many good substitutes. The team of 1935 promises a record which will be more successful than that of 1934.

Our team, which had the ability to do things, but just couldn't hit that basket, ended the season with four victories and eleven defeats. The team received as much support as could be expected during an off season. The idea of playing only to win must be discarded, and the proper attitude adopted towards sportsmanship before success can be permanent. Several excuses can be offered for our failures to win games, but excuses are seldom accepted by the public. Just allow us to say that several breaks and a style of play conspired against our efforts. A team that can handle the ball with ease should be a favored team, but if the plays are not followed up and the basket not scored, chances for winning are scarce indeed. Waterloo forged ahead in the closing minutes of play in our first game of the season. This last quarter of play seemed to foreshadow our future, for many times this happened. Coach Goranson thinks the season started too quickly, and that the boys did not have time to get the proper instruction and fundamentals that they needed. Our second game of the season was a good game from a playing point of view and finally ended after an overtime period in favor of Coulterville, 36-34. Again we allowed the opponents to catch up with us in the last minutes of play. Red Bud defeated us next in a game which was our poorest of the season. We even missed set-ups. This game marked the darkest part of the season. Gradually the team worked itseif up until they could play correctly, even though they were poor on shots. Next, Perryville come over to add another defeat to our list. A defeat that was unnecessary in view of the team playing abilities. Fortune smiled on us for the first time in our return game with Waterloo. Here our fast break worked, and we controlled the play from start to finish. Our trip to Sparta is always an important event. This time Sparta won in the number of baskets, although the Yellow Jackets did outplay them. Fouls were the chief Cause of our trouble, both guards fouling out rather early in the game. We were able to hit the basket at Coulterville and play the way we should. This was our second victory of the season. Again our last quarter jinx appeared when Dupo played here. Dupo scored six times during the last quarter to win by a score of 37 to 26, after we slowed down in the third quarter. Fey, our rangy center, became ineligible for the rest of the season, at this time and, with other players being ill, Gorham tripled the score on us in a ragged and lopsided battle. Our next game with Marissa was another defeat. Play was slow, and we missed our tall center in our fast-breaking plays. Marissa outplayed us in both offensive and defensive play. In the home game with Sparta, the Yellow Jackets showed no fight whatsoever. As a result, the Blue Streaks more than doubled the score on us. Page 37 summit Gorham saw a different team of Yellow Jackets when we played them here. Our drive started just a little too late to catch them; but considering team play, one must admit that we were the better team. Our return game with Dupo threatened to be a very tight game when the first quarter had ended with no score for either team. Finally, Dupo found the basket and left us behind. Our great trouble was finding the inside of the hoop. Both free throws and field shots circled the basket, only to fall out. Quite a few students journeyed to Dupo to see the team perform away from home. Quite a different story was our second game with Red Bud. Play was slow during the first half, but early in the second half we definitely established our lead. Our last scheduled game of the season turned out to be the best of the season. Marissa came over with the expectation of an easy game. They soon found that they were mistaken. Well-timed passes and accurate shots gave us a lead of fifteen points by the half. By a frantic effort, Marissa was able to raise their score to within seven pojnts of that of ours at the close of the game. This was our only home victory of the season. . « This year we went to Murphysboro for the district tournament to play Carbondale University High. In a game which showed no pep or fight whatsoever, we lost by five points. Set-ups were missed. Even free throws were missed, which would have meant the game for us if they were true. Our Junior team has had better success in their schedule, having won ten games and lost four. Indeed, five Sophomores and one Freshman have been rather regular in substituting in the varsity. Such a squad of lower classmen should insure a good basketball season for the next two years. In the Sparta Junior Tournament they were successful in taking fourth place. The first game with Prairie du Rocher was a lopsided affair—60-10. Next, we played Sparta and defeated her for the first time this season. Coulterville won our next game because our boys had bad luck in hitting the basket. Our last game with Marissa for third place was lost, thereby giving us fourth place in the tournament. Back row: C.

Three major meets were scheduled: Dupo at Dupo, New Athens here, and Sparta here. The season ended with our annual Randolph County Invitational Track and Field Meet. Our tilt, April 14, with Dupo resulted in a loss—Dupo winning, 65 to 48. However, this was not so depressing because C. Tilton vaulted to a new record of 10 feet I inch, bettering Nagel's mark of '33 by four and one-fourth inches. Although our boys were slow to start in real track style, results of the meet show that some credit is due them. Dupo scored seven firsts, seven seconds, and four thirds against our five firsts, five seconds, and eight thirds. The New Athens' surprisingly strong attack netted her the meet, 64y2 to 57] i, April 21. Chester did not score a_ first in track events. New Athens won the relay, nine firsts, four seconds, and five thirds. April 28, Sparta lost to Chester by a top-heavy score at the Old Fairgrounds. Placing first in all but three events and scoring in the relay, besides second and Hiird place points, easily gave us the victory, 83 to 39. A grand slam was scored in. the 880-yard dash; Aszman, Tittel, and Phegley running first, second, and third. Outstanding was Sprengel's record of 41 feet 8 inches for the shot-put, exceeding Barnard's '3 I record by one foot two inches. Having accepted invitations to our county meet, representatives gathered at the Fairgrounds, May 5. Sparta, Baldwin, Evansville, Kaskaskia, Red Bud, and Percy were represented. By way of proving that we were trackmen, we more than doubled the score over our nearest opponents, Sparta and Evansville, who were tied with 31 ' points. We won a place in every event, and took first in the relay. Final scores were as follows: Chester, 67: Sparta, Evansville, 3lf4; Bald- win, 30: Kaskaskia, 7: Red Bud, 6: and Percy, I. Those who won letters were Captain Conner, Tittel, Nordmeyer, Sprengel, C. Tilton, Aszman, A. Cowell, Hertich, Phegley, Rieckenberg, Moeller, and Ponder. The first five, having graduated, will not be with us this year; however, the remaining seven will be a good nucleus around which Coach Simmons can build this year's squad. Others who show ability are Parker, P. Kirk, Schaack, H. Tilton, C. Kirk, Wolff, Troue, Schu-werk, Hornberger, May, and Roth. A meet has been arranged with Dupo, but no definite date has been set as yet. Invitations will be sent to schools for our annual county meet to be held May 4. Tittel, Nordmeyer, Rieckcnherg. Troue, Moeller, Phegley, Mueller. Sprengel. Aszman. Conner. Cowell. Ponder. Hertich, Kirk, Coach Simmons SUMMIT PHYSICAL EDUCATION Physical education classes co-operated to present their third annual carnival the latter part of May, 1934. Every student of Chester High had a part in the presentation of the program. Decked with green boughs and flowers, the gym suggested the spirit of such an event and also the atmosphere of spring. This carnival is presented to give the public an insight into the activities of a physical education class. A small admission fee was charged each person to cover the expense of presentation, but this did not hinder the interest shown by the town-folk. A capacity crowd filled the gym. Marching, tap dancing, tumbling, and pyramid-building acts were featured by the girls classes. Boys' classes built pyramids, tumbled, and acrobated. Wrestling and boxing, popular features of former carnivals, were banned by order of the School Board. A special act by the girls' classes was the May Day dance. Climaxing the evening's entertainment was the crowning of the May queen, Dorothy Wittenbrink, who had been selected by balloting. Attended by her maids of honor, Talitha Fiene, Mabel McNelly, Ruth Easterly, and June Beare, Dorothy marched through the archway of boughs to the foot of the throne where she was crowned Queen of May by Virginia Wittenborn, the retiring queen. NATIONAL ATHLETIC SCHOLARSHIP ASSOCIATION (Chapter 1420) Five years ago, five boys (Clyde Barnard, Glen Beare, Russell McGuire, Henry Bunselmeyer, Adrian Phegley) were accepted as members of the National Athletic Scholarship Association of Secondary Schools. The next year, Earl Staley. Owen Easterly, Elmer Schaardt, William Berry, and Willard Bixby became members. In the fall of 1932 the organization invited C. H. S. to form a local chapter. As a result, chapter 1420 was formed, with these boys as charter members. Since that time thirteen boys have been made members of the fraternity. Of this group, Patrick Conner, Harry Backer, Earl Cowell, Edgar Welge, Fred Mueller, Cletis Tilton, Charles Kirk, and Carlyle Hoffman have been initiated and accepted as members of the local chapter. Wayne Smith, Willard Paetzhold, Roger Tittel, Adolph Rieckenberg, and Herman Tilton have not been initiated into the local chapter up to the present time. Most of them will probably be initiated and formally accepted as members of chapter 1420 before the end of the present school year. Three new members have been admitted to the fraternity this year: Carlyle Hoffman, Herman Tilton, and Charles Kirk; each having made his letter in football. Albert Juergens has been recommended for membership. Albert won his letter in basketball. According to Mr. Krutsinger, Berton Phegley has been informed that he will be recommended for membership at the end of the school year if he maintains his present status. The social event of the year was the banquet at the Royal Hotel, at which four members were formally initiated. Plans were discussed for another meeting during the spring vacation. The possibilities of sending a representative to the annual national conference was also considered. Most of the members were present at this meeting. Several of them had their lady friends with them. Page 40 THIRTY-FIVE THE FUTURE FARMERS CLUB Creed of a Future Farmer I believe in the beauty of God's open country; that life out of doors and in touch with the earth, is the natural life of man. I believe that work is work, wherever you find it, but that work with nature is the most inspiring and challenging. I believe that the dignity of labor depends not on what you do, but how you do it; that opportunity comes to the boy on the farm as often as to the boy of the city; that life on the farm may be full, happy, and free; that a prosperous agriculture is essential to our national welfare; that my success depends not upon my location, but upon myself, not upon dreams, but on what I actually do, not upon luck, but upon pluck. I believe in working when I work, and in playing when I play; in giving and demanding a square deal in every act of life. The Future Farmers are rounding out their fifth year of work in the Chester High School. All of our charter members have graduated, and for the first time, we have carried through a year's work without their assistance. Adolph Decker served as president. Our program of work has assumed a definite form by now, and with the exception of small changes, we carry out about the same activities each year. Our aim is to show improvement in every activity as we go along. Our Father and Son Banquet was again one of the high lights of the year. All boys taking agriculture and their fathers were present. Dr. Cameron Harmon of McKendree College was the principal speaker, and his talk was enjoyed as much as the food the home economics girls served for us. We succeeded in doing this in the Public Speaking Contest: Competing in our section of eighteen schools, Robert Sweany placed second—one notch higher than the third won by our organization last year. The next event was the Sectional Judging Contest, which was held at Vandalia. We succeeded in winning the championship for the second consecutive year. The twelve boys who made up the high team were given a three-day trip to Champaign, to compete in the state contest. Those who made the fat stock team were: John Mansker, Robert Sweany, and Wilbert Troue. The dairy team were: Spencer Brown, Williard Paetzhold, and William Decker. Paul Stallman and Dan Ma-gers made the poultry team; Adolph Decker and George Decker the grain, and Adolph Rieckenberg and Wilbert Troue the corn teams. Here Spencer Brown placed first in judging Guernsey cows, and George Decker placed first in judging wheat. John Mansker entered the state swimming contest while there and won the silver loving cup for first place in the hundred-yard swim. We had a softball team for the first time. After winning from Sparta and Pinck-neyville, we lost to Valmeyer, whose team won third place in the state. Page 41 SUMMIT At the Sparta livestock fair, we were second in the amount of winnings and first in winnings at the Farm Products Show. Reuel Allison, Adolph Rieckenberg, and Paul Stallman each took in over $50 in prize money on their projects. The total amount won by our organization this year was $526, which is a new record for us. We have an average of almost two projects per member. All animal projects are purebred, and actually owned by student; all crop projects have some particular phase of crop improvement. We have evening meetings once each month, to discuss our Future Farmer projects, aims, and plans. Each individual is required to keep a careful record of income, expense, and labor on his project. Last year, we put in a total of 3,516y2 hours of work on projects, and our income above expense was $2,342.45. In addition to the above mentioned activities, we sponsored the Christmas party, spring picnic trip to the stockyards, and a farmers' evening school. Many of our activities take place in the spring, and the results of these will be published in the Summit of next year. We are looking forward to again entering the Public Speaking Contest, the sectional elimination of which is scheduled for April 12th. Our softball team is already practicing for the Future Farmer Softball Tournament. We hope to have entries in the Fat Lamb Show in East St. Louis on June 7, and at the Illinois State Fair in August. Our outstanding member the past year has been Adolph Rieckenberg. He received his state farmer's degree, and was elected one of the three officers of the State Association of Future Farmers, which has a membership of over four thousand. With this kind of leadership, and with our wholehearted co-operation, we hope to continue our climb next year. Hack row: Wa. Zeller, J. Atchison, R. Allison, W. Schirmer, YV. Troue, D. Hertich, A.

The purpose of the Glee Club is not only to develop into expression the whispered songs already in the hearts of the girls but also to enrich their souls with a greater appreciation and love of life through music. The 1934-35 season has been an unusually interesting one for the organization. First among its activities was the annual concert presented in the high school auditorium on December 6. In a varied program of solos and choruses, the girls were assisted by a boys' quartet composed of Jack Steinbicer, Carlyle Hoffman, Bestow Rudolph, and Clemens Schaack and by Miss Helen Steinbicer and Messrs. Arthur Werre and Waldo Dowen as guest artists. St. Valentine's Day was celebrated by a party and musical, entertaining the Faculty and a group of high school boys. March 19 marked an innovation in the high school schedule—a colored minstrel. The club contributed liberally of its members and talents to make this event a success. The operetta, In Old St. Louis , was selected and presented May 7. Although the story is romantic fiction of 1806, the historical background and many of the characters are authentic. Principal roles were played by Marcella Palmier, Lucille Nicholson, Maude Manwaring, Ruth Michelsen, Ellouise Farrel, Dorothy Wittenbrink, John Steinbicer, Carlyle Hoffman, Herman Tilton, Robert Sweany, James Lewis, and Berton Phegley.

SUMMIT THE RIP AND DIP CLUB Under the supervision of our new home economics instructor, Miss Rathert, the Rip and Dip Club has continued to take a prominent place among the organizations of C. H. S. We have adopted a new constitution but have retained the original motto and song. Our club has more members this year than it has had since its organization in 1931 by Miss Wayland. It is also the largest club in school. To be a member of the club, each girl must have taken some home economics or 4-H Club work, or be voted in by the other members. After earning the required number of merits, thirty-five girls were initiated into the club this year at a Hallowe'en party given for that purpose. Each member is allowed two unexcused absences and must take part in the activities of the club. Several projects were carried out by the club this year. Luncheons were served for one week to any student who cared to pay the nominal charge. During the month of December a date sale was sponsored. In January we added this year's contribution to the fashion scrapbook, which shows the fashions from 1800 to the present time. This book is being compiled cumulatively from year to year by the club members. On February 14, our club served a banquet to the members of the Rotary Club and their wives. The hall was decorated according to the St. Valentine spirit. Two of the girls gave five-minute talks on What Home Economics Has Meant to Me . After the banquet, a short musical and dance program was given by the members of our club. The club's officers for 1934-35 are Margaret Hamilton, president; June Kirk, vice-president; and Dorothy Anghouse, secretary and treasurer. ick row: F. Alms, C. Mueller M. Mueller, H. Harris, E.

The band now has a membership of thirty-three. The addition of a flutist and a trombonist improves the balanced instrumentation of the band. The music being played by the band this year consists of many difficult overtures; their numbers for the contest are in a class higher than required. The members interpret these pieces commendably. The band participates in all school activities, having played for twenty school functions this year. They expect to commence the summer with a carefully planned and prepared concert.

A few new members have joined the group, and some changes have been made which are contributing greatly to the instrumentation. Popular dance rhythms are being given a prominent place in the orchestra's list of selections. The baritone singer and drummer, Bestow Rudolph, was reluctantly given up, but Virginia and Wilbur Saak are creditably filling his place as drummer, and Bernice Stolle and Wolter Fey as soloists.

Laughter and tears were mingled throughout the audience while the friendship of Peyton and Beverly, the belief of Colonel and Mrs. Montgomery that Death can not conquer love or eternity, and the loyalty of Mammy Dinah and Uncle Billy defeated the intrigue, the disloyalty, and the selfishness of Ralph Francis and Louise Lawton. While this was the most pretentious play attempted by the Dramatic Club, the results were very gratifying. The large number included in the cast furnished opportunity for many who had never been on the stage to display their ability.

And that was my introduction to Old Faithful, the famous and most startling geyser in Yellowstone Park. A mysterious roar, and I witnessed the most amazing and spectacular sight that I believe I shall never live to see surpassed. Yes, even by Niagara Falls, for there the tumbling cascade of water flows downward, not heavenward. The steaming tower of water leaped skyward, seeming as though it would stop only when the vast portals of heaven had been thrown open. The sunbeams played upon the water volcano, creating millions of tiny rainbows. The atmosphere was hazy with hot steam which seemed to be driven ever upward by an unseen hand. A few more majestic rumbles, and the mighty column of water descended into its bottomless crater, and silence reigned; my first meeting with Old Faithful, one of God's greatest gifts to man.—Evelyn Cohen.

It is built of oak with interior finish of black walnut, in the French style of architecture. The shutters are cut from solid lumber. The mantels were imported from France. The house is 77 by 44 feet exclusive of the kitchen. The kitchen is floored with flagstones, has an immense rock fireplace, a capacious stone oven, and a sink made from solid rock. The bricking-up of the fireplace and the changing of the position of the steps leading to the gallery are the only material changes. Two brothers, Mr. Charles Lynn and Mr. James Lynn, purchased the house from a descendant of Pierre Menard. They made it their home for many years, and then it became a possession of Louis Junger. Junger sold it to the state, reserving the right of caretaker for life. Some of its original furnishings belong to residents of Chester, but an attempt is being made to refurnish it as exactly as possible. It is in a wonderful state of preservation.
