May it bring back many pleasant memories, both to those who, this year, leave high school life behind them and to those who will return next year. If, in the future THE SUMMIT can bring a smile to the lips or, perhaps, a tear to the eye, it will have accomplished its purpose, and our work will not have been in vain. SENIOR CLASS C. Fey E.

The Junior class was beginning another eventful year in the history of their attendance at dear old Chester High. Although vacations are welcomed after periods of tiring work, the Juniors were glad to see the Portals of Wisdom swing wide to let them enter its familiar halls. After several weeks of settling down to studies, the great election got under way. The affair reached the climax when the Honorable Brick Bruegger was chosen as the most worthy candidate for the presidency. Ruth Ann Michaelis was selected to accurately take down an account of the Junior meetings, and how she does check on our candy sales! Juniors, beware! It is not an epidemic, but it's in the air. Geneva Mabuce, Melba Rigdon, John Heuer, Margaret Jeremiah, and Waldo MacDonald have been conscientiously checking up. It is politely rumored that they have been present at the great assembly of the Student Board. We not only have our stars, John Heuer, Paul Preusse, Martha Heckman, Ruth Michaelis, Evalyn Marquardt, but also capable understudies who became famous over night, for was not Dwight McNelly ready to catch the mumps for the Dramatic Club play? The Mummy and the Mumps went over great in spite of the fact that Billie Dial, who was trying to get the mumps, was suddenly confined with a scarlet face. New faces have made themselves known in our midst—those of Johnny Clayton, athlete. Merle Shafer, operetta soloist, Warren Lindsey, authority on history. Martha Heckman, cartoonist, and Lester Moeller, trumpeter. Our Junior boys did not forget to make their athletic ability known. Now that the football and basketball seasons are over. Dwight McNelly is talking about the great tennis tournament which will begin as soon as he can finish weeding the court. From all appearances, the Glee Club is going Russian. Won t it be thrilling to see those four pretty girls of our village school, Margaret Jeremiah, Lorene Frazer, Marcella Rebbe, and Geneva Mabuce, step lightly out upon the stage in Melinka of Astrakhan? The masculine touch is being added to the operetta by John Heuer, Merle Shafer, and Dale Bruegger. This Junior class will continually be striving onward. It will not rest and blithely watch the rest of the world go by. The Juniors will fight, and is it necessary to say that they usually win? Wilma Mueller. CLASS OF Ao The year of 1940 will be the year of years for old Chester High. Some of the handsomest—none of the homliest—some of the greatest—none of the least—some of the best—none of the worst—these make up the class that will leave Chester High in 1940. Today we are not green enough for freshmen, not hopeful enough for juniors, not sophisticated enough for seniors. In 1940 we expect to out sophisticate anybody who ever sophisticated. Just stop to review our outstanding athletes: F. Earney, P. Backer, B. Davis, J. Bruegger, D. Whittenborn, C. Manwaring, V. Hesse, D. Gillis, D. Rainey, B. Eggers, F. Blechle. Not only athletes but scholars as well are these boys: J. Bruegger, B. Davis, P. Backer, V. Hesse, C. Manwaring, D. Gillis. Have you not heard in the Glee Club the voices of: C. Manwaring, D. Aspley, B. Lewis, H. Hoffman, R. Katz, B. Matthews, and we must not forget Sheriff Katz of Dramatic fame. Then, too, we must remember those hard working officials, our class government: Paul Backer, President: Helen Hoffman, Vice-President; Kathrine Barger, Secretary and Treasurer, and our class advisers, Mr. Courier and Miss Johnson. After all is said and done, to our faculty and to our Alma Mater we ll say, Thanks for the Memories. Clyde Martin. THE SUMMIT CLASS OF '41 You can't expect too much from us Because, as you well know, We've only been here one short year And have three more to go. Those who are taking agriculture Someday will make Some of the best farmers To be found in our state. Three years from now we'll graduate And leave the Chester High; But we ll not forget the fun we had When we think of times gone by. We wish to thank our many friends Who have helped us go our way. Our class advisers and teachers, too, Have helped us through each day. Interesting talks in citizenship; Fun in the algebra class; Correcting our English with careful pains As we've done in years gone past. To Gerald Hirte, our president, Marie Welten, secretary-treasurer And Jack Dethrow, vice-president, We give credit with greatest pleasure. Writing up experiments In the general science room Having foods and P. E. In the hours before noon. We are looking forward to next year And hope that we can get Some class advisers just as nice As Mr. Simmons and Miss Weinrich. - Marjorie Gnaegy. 23 BOOK TWO Through the interests and cooperation which the various clubs offer, an opportunity is given each student to enter into the school activities. THE SUMMIT brings back memories of these activities—the friends we've made, the things we've accomplished, and the benefits derived from them. It will always serve as a source of enjoyment to those, who in years to come, will turn back to these pages and realize that they once were a part of the activity of their Alma Mater.

In addition, it has fostered activities that have added much to the well-being, happiness, and interest of school life. Soon after the opening of school, the officers had the new amendments, passed in the spring of 1937, incorporated into the Constitution. Several copies were hecto-graphed and handed to the various officers and advisers of the clubs and classes. After the fall election the members concentrated their efforts in behalf of a better Ho.mecoming.'1 A student-alumni dance was made a part of the program. It was a great success. Since the beginning of the second semester, the group has been working with the principal in an attempt to start a noon social-hour. Although little has been accomplished, a start has been made. The Student Board is now helping to foster a move to purchase a combination Public Address-Sound on Film Projection-Radio Broadcast System. The net proceeds of any activities sponsored by the board is being saved for that purpose. The present group feels that the purchase can be undertaken some time next fall. It is with much interest and enthusiasm that the present board calls the attention of its future members to these new projects. THE SUMMIT President ... ......................................William Lewis Vice-President......... ................. .... Paul Preusse Secretary-Treasurer ................................Ruth Michaelis The Dramatic Club of Chester High School was organized nine years ago— in 1929—and has been functioning actively ever since. In addition to the entertainment it has afforded the school and the public, the club has in past years presented the school with some very valuable equipment bought with the money earned by producing plays. However, money making is by no means one of the chief aims of the organization. These are many, but probably the main one is to provide opportunities for all students interested to gain the various benefits of actual experience in dramatic expression before any group, large or small. To this are added other aims, such as promoting in members an appreciation of good drama and good 'theater'1 as well as a knowledge of what it takes in personal equipment to be a good actor or actress. Not the least of our aims is to give members an opportunity of proving the value and, in fact, the absolute necessity of co-operation in producing a worthy finished performance in dramatics as well as in sports and other lines of endeavor. The regular club programs are as important in carrying out these aims as the public performances. They have consisted this year of miscellaneous numbers, including a report each meeting on a chapter in A Player's Handbook, a well-known text on dramatic art. The other numbers are short skits, readings, and one-act plays. Reports on longer plays are also given. One program will consist of a review and reading of a famous play by an accomplished reader of this community. Before the year is over, every member will have appeared at least once on a program. The Dramatic Club solicits the interest and membership of those who are truly interested in a high type of dramatic expression. DRAMATIC CLUB 27 C. H. S. BAND The Chester High School Band, under the direction of Mrs. Frieda Duncan, has shown its loyalty to the athletic department by commendable performance at all ball games. A Musicale given jointly by the Band and Glee Club gave an opportunity to render more difficult numbers. Comments of remarkable improvement were encouraging. An oboe was recently presented to the band which adds greatly toward a balanced instrumentation. Instrumentation this year: Six clarinets One baritone Four cornets Three alto horns Four trumpets One bass drum One oboe One snare drum Four saxophones (1C Melody, 2 Ejj Alto, One Eh tuba One Bh tuba Five trombones One set of cymbals I Tenor) Trumpets John Heuer Lester Moeller Melba Lemmerman John Short Delbert Courier Helen Rainey William Hettesheimer Bobby Pinkstaff Clarinets Kathryn Allen Velma Hasemeyer Hilda Crunk Virginia Heckman Donald Wittenborn Thelma Smith Saxophones Dale Gillis Minnie Jeremiah Earl Adams Fae Best MEMBERS THIS YEAR: Eh Alto Horns Ardell Moeller Ruth Orrell Gloria Saak Baritone Jack Gilster Trombones Roger Katz Forrest Ayres Richard Hamilton Kenneth Smith Jimmie Harlan Sousaphones Earl Hasemeyer Arden Ruddell Bass Drum Kathryn Barger Snare Drum Helen Hoffman Cymbals Bobby Smith Oboe Irvin Kendell Drum Majors Harry Allison Bobby Matthews Directoress Mrs. Frieda Duncan 28 THE SUMMIT President Vice-President Secretary-Treasurer Mary Matthews Merle Shafer Margaret Jeremiah E S U M M On the evening of December 14, the Glee Clubs, joined by the School Band, gave a Musicale in the High School Gymnasium, which was decorated in keeping with the Christmas season. Mrs. D. A. Rouse, pianist of St. Louis, and Mr. and Mrs. J. D. Emlen, violinists of Murphysboro, were guest artists of the evening. The members of the Glee Clubs have begun work on Melinka of Astrakhan, a Russian operetta in two acts. Roles have been earned by the following members: Mary Matthews, Melinka Ivanoff: Geneva Mabuce, Vaska: Lorene Frazer, Waska; Dorothy Johns, Sophia Petrovich: Margaret Jeremiah, Dean Campbell: Marcella Rebbe, Mary Strongfort; William Lewis, General Ivanoff; Dale Bruegger, Captain Michael Arensky: Frederick Dreyer, Corporal Ivan Zuiske; Edward Koeneman, Bobo: Merle Shafer, Gordon King; John Heuer, A.

CARNIVAL The Physical Education Classes gave their sixth annual program May I, 1937, in the new gymnasium, which was beautifully decorated carrying out the spirit of May Day. The first part of the program was presented by the boys, directed by Coach Goranson, which consisted of marching, various exercises on the stall bars, traveling rings, ladders, horizontal bars, parallel bars, flying rings and ropes. The tumblers and clowns added fun and merriment to the occasion. The second part of the program was the May Fete by the girls, directed by Marie Juergens. One of the highlights of the evening's entertainment was the crowning of the May Queen who had been selected by the flipping of a coin. This was necessary as Mary Louise Meredith and Esther Schreck had tied for the position. Margaret Jeremiah, the retiring queen, led the processional to the throne followed by the maids of honor, Mary Louise Meredith, Marilyn Light, Evelyn Cohen, and Margaret Fiene. Then, last, the new May Queen, Esther Schreck, took her place on the throne. This was followed by marching, apparatus exercises, tumbling, folk dances, tap dances in costume, and the Maypole Dance by the Senior girls. The recessional of the queen and her royal court was the climax of a very impressive program. 30 THE SUMMIT THE SUMMIT President ........................................ Gladys Webb Vice-President ............................... Isa Lea Earney Secretary-Treasurer Mildred Decker I pledge my loyalty to the Rip and Dip Home Economics Club, promise to uphold its aims and ideals and to serve my school, my home, community, state, and nation whenever I can. And with this pledge, girls are initiated into the Rip and Dip Club of Chester High School. Theirs is no trivial undertaking, for here they first realize the characters they are to assume, the responsibilities they are to don in enacting their rules upon the all-encompassing stage which we call Life. Their jolly times and friendships serve their purpose quite adequately. Each girl wishes to renew her membership the following year. Senior girls regret that they must leave. But they are satisfied with what they have done, what they have accomplished. The thoughts of Edgar A. Guest express what each one is seeking— Life. Life is a gift to be used every day, Not to be smothered and hidden away. It isn't the thing to be in the chest Where you gather your keepsakes and treasure your best; It isn't a joy to be sipped now and then, And promptly put back in the dark again. Life is a gift that the humblest may boast of And one that humblest may well make the most of. Get out and live it each hour of the day, Wear it, and use it as much as you may, Don't keep it in niches and corners and qrooves, You'll find that in service its beauty improves.'

Marilyn Light The Girls' Athletic Association started its second successful year with Mrs. Juergens as its sponsor. Officers having been elected, it was agreed to hold regular monthly meetings. The girls started their fall program by playing softball, in which all the girls took part. A chili supper was given at the close of the softball season. The second sport of the year was hiking. The girls hiked sixty miles. The shortest hikes were three m'les. and the longest one was the fourteen mile hike over to McBride, Missouri, from which everyone came home tired, but happy. Basketball was the third activity on our proqram, in which practically all the girls participated. One preliminary game was scheduled to be played by two teams of our girls during the Junior Tournament. One of the final big days of the year will be the May Play Day, at which girls from twelve to fourteen schools will participate. Any girl in school may become a member of the association, providing she has earned fifty points. Points are earned by taking part in sports, walking, stunts, good posture, keeping health rules, and various other activities. The following awards are given: numeral for 600 points: school letter, 1200 points: first state award, 1800 points: second state award, which is the highest award given, 2200 points. 32 THE SUMMIT THE SUMMIT A Prosperous Agriculture is Essential to Our National Welfare. First Semester Second Semester Richard Hamilton President Boniface Borgard President Boniface Borgard. Vice President Elton Stallman .. Vice President Lacy Harmon Secretary Albert Schirmer Secretary Lawrence Surman Treasurer Lawrence Surman Treasurer Dale Allison Reporter Paul Novack Reporter The Future Farmers of America is a national organization of farm boys enrolled in agriculture in high school. Their yearly program is designed to develop cooperation, leadership, knowledge of farming, interest in agriculture, thrift, and recreation. Such a program must supplement their class work and keep the boys engaged outside of school hours and during the summer months. The club meets twice a month and the members decide what their yearly program shall be and how it shall be carried out. As part of their training, F. F. A. members are required to handle all their business, give talks, and supervise recreation themselves. The agriculture instructor acts as an adviser. Certain activities of the F. F. A. have become annual events and were carried out last year as in previous years. These included the Father and Sons' banquet, participation in judging and softball contests, and cooperative social activities with the Rip and Dip Club, such as spring picnic, Christmas party, and Valentine party. The fried chicken which was served at the Father and Sons banquet was a new feature this past year. These broilers were raised in the school as a cooperative F. F. A. project. It will be continued this coming year. The animal and grain projects which each member is required to own and raise is a source of much interest and education to the boys. The importance of these may be shown by the fact that $3500.00 was invested in the project and a profit of $1 171.00 was realized. Part of the project produce is exhibited at the County and Sectional F. F. A. fairs. In all sectional competition, 21 schools having agriculture departments in this section of the state compete. At these fairs, the boys compare their livestock or grain with that of other schools. Chester received many ribbons FUTURE FARMERS OF AMERICA 33 and considerable premium money. At the Sectional F. F. A. fair, the first five of the top six premiums were awarded to Chester's newly organized sheep project. The sectional contests, other than fairs, in which the F. F. A. competes often interest the other high school students. At the sectional judging contest, Chester qualified four of their five teams for stock competition, qualified four of their five teams for state competition. At the state contest at the University of Illinois in June, two stock champion individuals were placed. Noah Harmon was champion sheep judge and Paul Green was champion white corn judge. The fat stock team was fifth; poultry team, thirteenth; corn team, sixteenth; and dairy team, twenty-second. One hundred sixty-two schools and one thousand fifty students competed. The state F. F. A. convention and athletic contests were held at the same time as the state judging meet. Hurd Johnson placed second in the 100 yard swim. Richard Hamilton was awarded the State Farmer degree at the convention. At the sectional softball tournament, Chester placed third. The recreational activities were enlarged upon this year and include a local swimming meet, checker tournament, and horse shoe pitching contest. New educational activities included a 4-H Club tour to solicit members, talks and demonstrations at farm bureau meetings, helping evening school programs, and a stock yards tour. Cooperative chapter projects for the coming year will include construction ot a livestock trailer and an active attempt to sponsor a local livestock show in Chester this summer. The Future Farmers are striving to carry on their activities and enlarge upon them each year so they may accomplish the purpose for which their organization was created. The National Athletic Scholarship Society Chapter 1420 Early in the fall of 1937 a new constitution was drawn up for the local chapter of the National Athletic Scholarship Society. Some of the more important provisions follow: Article III: There shall be five officers—a president, a secretary and treasurer, and three alumni advisers. Section I—One of the officers shall be a C. H. S. student. Section 2—The president, and the secretary and treasurer shall be elected annually, during the month of May. Section 3—The alumni advisers shall hold office until they are replaced by a motion and a vote at a regular meeting. Article V: Section I—There shall be a called meeting of the members between October 15 and November 15 of each year. Section 2—There shall be at least one social gathering of the members per year. Officers for the year were elected at the annual Homecoming Dinner. Herman Tilton and Dale Bruegger were elected president and secretary and treasurer, respectively. Clyde Barnard, Patrick Conner, and Charles Kirk were elected alumni advisers. During the school year John Heuer, Alphonse Magers, George Allison, Paul Backer, Vernon Hesse, William Davis, Dale Gillis, Joseph Bruegger, and Charles Manwaring have become members of the N. A. S. S. John Heuer was initiated and accepted as an active member of the local chapter at the Thanksgiving meeting. The others are to come up for initiation at the spring meeting.

James Schmerbauch The Ferreters Biology Club was organized during the school year of 1938 for the purpose of giving those students who are especially interested in Biology the opportunity to give further and broader study to subjects of that field outside of the Biology class. It now holds the distinction of being the first Biology Club of Southern Illinois to gain a charter from the Junior Academy of Science which is a division of the Illinois State Academy of Science. The weekly programs and study hours of this club have done much to increase the interests of its members in their world of nature about them: while their field trips have added many new and unusual animal and plant specimens to the school laboratory. Although the club is young it is able to give evidence of its work in the projects which have been completed or are in progress. The members were responsible for a survey made of the school population concerning infectious diseases and their control; and they have placed in every school home the information obtained from this survey along with valuable information concerning the control of infectious diseases. Much interest has also been shown in an effort to landscape and establish a bird sanctuary on the school property. The high point of the year's activity will be the meeting of the Junior Academy of Science which is to be held in May at Carbondale, Illinois. Every member is planning to attend and enter a personal project in competition with all other affiliated Junior Science Academy High Schools of the State. We feel that this club has done and will do much to increase comradeship, leadership, cooperation, and interest in our world of nature about us.

To the casual observer the C. H. S. football team began and finished an unsuccessful season; but to those who followed the team's progress carefully it was apparent that the gridiron battlers reaped a big harvest, if not in games won and lost, then in experience gained for future squads, and in the teamwork and co-operation taught the members of the 1937 team. Coach Simmons was handicapped by the lack of experienced material and by the lightness of the various players, but he turned out a fighting team whose only really bad showing was against Pinckneyville. Only five lettermen returned from last years squad, and one of them was lost to the team after the first two games. Meyer, Steeleville transfer and potential backfield star, also dropped out early in the season. Simmons did a good job of coaching the green material he had, and by the end of the season they were playing like regulars. Our first game, Murphysboro at Chester, showed the inexperience and lack of training of the squad. Bad blocking and tackling was in evidence, as was the team's inability to advance the ball when it was in our possession. Murphy s smashing reverses and power plays netted them five touchdowns and three extra points. Chester made only one first down in the entire game, but the inexperienced players learned plenty of football in that game. Final score: Murphy, 33; C. H. S., 0. A change in the lineup and a week of hard blocking and tackling drill put the team in better shape for the Dupo contest, played at Dupo. We were confident, perhaps too much so, and the result was a rapid sixty yard march by Dupo which netted the only score of the game. Surprised considerably, we recovered enough to hold the Oilers, who averaged 180 pounds, away from the goal line for the remainder of a nip and tuck game. Although in scoring territory twice, we were unable to cross the line ourselves. Final score: Dupo, 6; Chester, 0. 36 THE SUMMIT Upsetting all advance predictions as to the outcome of the game we defeated Belleville Cathedral, at Chester, by a score of 18-6. Although Belleville outplayed us in the first half, scoring in the second period on a line buck, their passing attack failed and in the third period Magers plunged over for our first score. An end run by Bruegger and a punt, blocked and recovered behind the goal line by yours truly, netted two more scores for us in the fourth quarter. The team in general played heads up football and hopes for a successful season ran high. Final score: C. H. S., 18: Cathedral, 6. Our hopes were darkened, however, when we failed to hold Pinckneyville to a reasonable score in our annual battle at Chester. Depending chiefly on passes and tackle smashes the Blue Devils rolled up a total of seven touchdowns and three extra points to Chester's none. Crawford and Messemore, visiting back and end, proved too fast for our lads to hold. Pinckneyville aggregated eleven first downs, Chester three. Final score: Pinckneyville, 45; Chester, 0. Our second victory of the season came when we visited St. Genevieve, Missouri, Public High. Our first score came when Braun, Evansville transfer, intercepted a pass and scampered forty yards to the goal. We followed with one more score in the first period, one in the second, and three in the third. St. Genevieve displayed a fighting team for a first year squad, and scored in the second period after a twenty-five yard end run and a line buck carried them over. Bruegger, Chester back, accounted for four of Chester's scores. Final score: Chester, 36: St. Genevieve, 6. In what was perhaps the best game of the season we lost to Sparta on Armistice night under Sparta's lights. We fought the Blue Streaks to a standstill in the first period, but the second brought a fifty yard run by Kelly for Sparta s first score. Carson, Sparta back, broke his arm in the third period, which was scoreless, although a forty-five yard run by Bruegger, behind excellent interference, put us in scoring territory. We fumbled and lost the ball to Sparta, who scored again in the fourth period on a line buck. Final score: Sparta, 12: Chester, 0. Our final and homecoming game with Perryville, Missouri, resulted in a 27-6 defeat for the Yellowjackets. We held them scoreless in the first period, but the second brought them two scores on passes and the third, two more: one on a line buck and one on an intercepted pass. In the fourth our passing attack carried us to the five yard line where Bruegger, though handicapped by a very sore leg, climaxed an excellent performance by crossing the goal on a line smash. Eggers was out of the game with a sore ankle, but Hornberger and Joe Bruegger made up for that by repeatedly smashing large holes in the center of Perryville s line. The game was marked by rough play throughout. Final score: Perryville, 27; Chester, 6. So ended our 1937 season. Six senior lettermen leave the squad. We are: Captain Tilton, three stripes; Lewis, two stripes; and Harmon, Koeneman, Braun, and Hornberger, one stripe each. To those lettermen we leave behind us, and to the new material from which future C. H. S. squads will be carved, we leave all the encouragement and good wishes which were passed on to us by those who have gone before. W. Lewis. BASKETBALL Back Row: D. Wittenborn. E. Esary. J. Bruegger.

Anyone who follows the game of basketball, or any sport for that matter, knows that the numbers registered on the scoreboard at the end of a game do not necessarily tell the entire story of the contest. This has applied often to the 1938 basketball squad. Although the actual scores were unfavorable to the team, yet we know the season has not been entirely unsuccessful. The various members played hard and had fun doing it, provided enjoyment for the spectators, and accepted defeat gracefully. We hope that underneath they do not feel too bitter and that there are few or none who cannot look past the scoreboard and see the other results of the game.

On April 10 the squad journeyed to Marissa and defeated them with a total of 58 points. Marissa scored 53. Hopkins, of Chester, took first in the 100 and 220 yard dashes, while Bruegger captured the 440 and 880 yard runs, and Brown won the javelin throw. Marissa took first in the mile, low hurdles, shot put, and discus throw. On April 17, five schools participated in a meet at Chester. Chester carried off first place with a total of 67 points, while Steeleville, Ellis Grove, Percy, and Cutler followed in order with 27, 15, 2, and 0 points, respectively. The triangular meet at Pinckneyville on April 20 resulted in 57 points for Pinck-neyville, 29 for Chester, 24 for Marissa. Bruegger won the 440 and placed second in the shot put. H. Tilton won second in the high hurdles. At the county meet on April 24, Chester, having won first for four consecutive years, took second place with 48 points. Sparta gained 63 2 points. Chester took only two firsts, the shot and discus, both won by Bruegger. Brown and Hornberger, Chester, tied with Appuhn, Steeleville, for first in the high jump at 5 feet, 2 inches, and Hopkins placed second in the javelin, third in the 100 yard dash, third in the 220 yard dash. Records were broken when Doyle, Ellis Grove, ran the 880 in 2 minutes 17.9 seconds; when Mudd, Sparta, ran a mile in 5 minutes 7 seconds; when Vancie Sparta, threw the javelin 143 feet, 5 inches. Chester placed a second in the relay. The final meet, with Marissa on May I, gave Chester 67 points, Marissa 44. Hopkins captured the 100 yard dash, the 220 yard dash, and the javelin. Bruegger won the 440, broad jump, and shot put. Brown, Budde, and Saak did their parts by taking several seconds and thirds. Dale Bruegger finished the season with 103'A points. Hopkins gained a total of 66, and the others finished as follows: Brown, 14: H. Tilton, 14; Seimers, 12; Clark, I I; Budde, 10. Brown received the Captain's star. Standing: H. Johnson, S. Brown, K.
