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

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.

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.
