1' fm In FSI? THE 1954 SUMMIT CHESTER HIGH SCHOOL CHESTER, ILLINOIS OPQLUOI' As a motion picture is rapidly projected onto a screen only to fade soon into blurred images, so will the episode of this school year soon become but faint recollections. It is the hope of the 1953 54 Summit Staff that, as you glance through this book in years to come, you will recapture some of the drama and excitement of this part of your life and the faint recollections and blurred images will become living memories. Z lecbca fion A keen intellect, a firmness tempered with kindness, and an honest recognition of the worth of each individual student, combine to make Miss Bremerman one of C, I-I, S, most outstanding teachers. In the thirteen years that she has been part of Chester High School, her devotion, inter- est, and guidance have been truly inspirational. We lovingly dedicate the 1954 edition of the Summit to you, Miss Bremerman, in the hope that you will add it to your treasure of memories 3 36164 of COI'lf2l'lf5 Administration . Faculty .

When George Keith dies, leaving nearly his entire fortune to his niece, Lorna Keith, with the stipulations that she is not to marry until she is 21 and that she continue to be completely truthful in all things, her cousin, Alice Emerson, begins her campaign to either force Lorna to tell a lie or for her to fall in love and be married before her Zlst birthday. The romantic interest provided is in the person of Ralph Macy, an encyclopedia salesman. After a great mixup and being chased by three gold-diggers, Lorna is triumphant, though, and wins Ralph and keeps her bequest.

At noon we had a big pep session led by the cheerleaders. Then all of the students formed a long parade, led by the band, football boys, queen candidates and cheerleaders, and marched uptown to the Joy Theater to see Bud Abbott and Lou Costello in Meet Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde. The evening festivities started off with a big bang with the Chester Yellow Jackets swamping the Duquoin Indians 51-0. Bob Kendrick made 4 touchdowns Wayne Zimmer made Z, and Jerry O'Connor 1. At ten, the dance started with the OI'ChC5tI'3 of Elmo DOHZQ. Shortly after 10:00 the new queen and her court entered. First came Charlotte Mueller, the retiring queen, escorted by Troy Knoke. Next was Virginia Feegle, escorted by John Uffelman, and Mary Mullins, escorted by Don Daschka. Last, but certainly not least, came the new queen, Rita Smith, escorted by Carroll Eggemeyer. Each girl was formally dressed and carried a big bouquet of flowers.

Y' Drivers' Education in the high school is the most scientific and success- ful traffic safety program yet established and we openly acknowledge its effectiveness in this particular way. Drivers' Education is one of the most important subjects in our school since it will be practiced by most of us for the rest of our lives. For most students Drivers' Education is their only chance to learn to drive, handle, and care for a car under trained supervisors. The course consists of classroom instructions and actual driving practice. At Chester High School all Sophomore students are required to enroll and participate in the Safety Education Program. Remon Motor Company of Chester furnishes a new Ford to be used each year. The school pays only the actual cost of maintenance of car. Compliments of PAUTLER'S I. G. A.

It was then we boarded two large busses at Patton Junction, Missouri, and began a trip toward which we had planned for four years. We spent the first day riding through farmlands of Missouri, Tennessee, and Arkansas. The first night at Hotel Heidelberg in Jackson, Mississippi, was quite an experience. The hotel was host to high school bands from all over the state that night, and our boys found they really liked those Southern accents! Sunday we enjoyed lunch at the Old Spanish Fort outside Mobile, Alabama, and spent the afternoon visiting an aircraft carrier at Pensacola Naval Base. Then we sped on to Pensacola where we stayed two days at the beautiful San Carols Hotel and enjoyed sunning and swimming. Tuesday we took to the road again, back to Mobile through the famous Bankhead Tunnel and on to Bellingrath Gardens for two hours in a fairyland of plants and flowers. We spent the night at the Edgewater Gulf Hotel in Biloxi, Mississippi. Our first group dinner was held Tuesday evening at Friendship House. We all agreed that Southern food was tops! Later we took a twenty-two mile boat ride across Mississippi Sound. The water was a little rough, and some of us found that the life of a sailor was not for us. Positions at the rail were highly prized! Early Wednesday morning we headed for New Orleans. A guided tour of the city occupied our morning and the afternoon was spent shopping, sight seeing, or resting for the big night ahead. Evening activities began with our second group dinner at the historic Court of the Two Sisters, followed by dancing at L'Enfant's, and a midnight tour of the French Quarter. The evening was concluded with coffee and doughnuts at the famous Morning Call. The few remaining hours were spent at the DeSoto Hotel. Somewhat groggy from loss of sleep, we arrived in Baton Rouge Thursday morning. We toured and later had lunch in the Capitol built by Huey Long. Afternoon found us in Natchez, Mississippi, at Melrose, a famous ante-bellum home. We concluded the day with a visit to the famous battlefield at Vicksburg. Our third and last dinner together was enjoyed Thursday night at Hotel Vicksburg. Later the ballroom was placed at our disposal, and some stayed up and danced all night. Saturday morning found us, exhausted and happy, on our way to Chester. We all agreed that, for once, realization was better than anticipation, and that all the working, planning, and saving had been worth while.
