PAULINE PAETZHOLD Hey, Teach, when did you say our pictures had to be done?” 1969 Summit Dedication Excitement, fear, joy, worry, happiness: these feelings are found daily in the lives of the students at Chester High School. Some of our teachers cause these feelings, while other teachers share these feelings. Some teachers assign and grade, while other teachers guide and share. Our 1969 Summit Staff would like to dedicate this yearbook to one who shares, one who spends each day sharing feelings and jobs with interested students. Not a selfish moment is known to her, since she daily shares her time and life. An understanding smile is her response as an excited student enters saying, “Hey, Teach!” We thank you, Mrs. Pauline Paetzhold. Mrs. Paetzhold guides an interested art student.

These feelings came from individuals - individuals existing at C. H. S. These individuals participated in happenings -happenings that built a wonderful year. In this 1969 Summit, we have captured prize moments from these happenings. These are your happenings, your moments, and your years. Chester High School truly had a year of: Challenge Sharing 4 Achievements Activities 7 Jane and Karen ready to distribute prizes to high salesmen. Magazine Sales The 1968-69 Magazine Sale campaign lasted only four days. In those four days the Chester High School, in conjunction with the junior high, approached the goal of $3000 by selling approximately $2900 worth of magazines. The campaign is a major source of income to the activity fund. The manager and co-manager of the Magazine Sale were Karen Harrison and Jane Sherrill. Making up the committee were Sherry Mansker, Jane Akers, Jeanne Mueller, Judy Mulholland, and Monica Paulus. These people were so efficient that the books balanced almost to the penny from the sales. Prizes awarded throughout the campaign ranged from candy bars to hair dryers. Often big” high school students could be seen carrying a cuddly plush dog down the hall. The campaign this year accomplished in four days what had previously been accomplished in two weeks. This display of spirit and enthusiasm was a real tribute to the school.

Erudite 8re posit or A new enterprise was undertaken this year at C.H.S. This new addition was the Erudite Expositor. The name itself refers to a scholarly expounder or a learned object or thing that explains something. As the year progressed, the newspaper tried to live up to its name and keep the students informed of the news around the school. Since the paper was an organization opened to all students who were willing to contribute to the school’s communicative services, it was indeed a worthwhile establishment. The officers of the school paper this year were Gail Feldman, Editor; Judy Mulholland, Assistant-Editor; April Aspley and Pat Sulser, Art-Editors; and Karen Harrison, Photographer. 9 Magic Moments Jnstilled w ■ 0 Halftime performance by the band adds to the many highlights of the week. Music of the King James Version enhances memories for all.

Late Friday afternoon the band, twirlers, cheerleaders and royal court assembled at the courthouse smiling on excess adrenalin needed after a week of float building and endless practice for the big night. The Chester Yellowjackets fought a scream-evoking and heart-pounding game, but lost to the Murphysboro Devils to the dismay of the spirited fans. At halftime Miss Linda Sellers was crowned 1968 Homecoming Queen by the retiring queen, Miss Jana Frazer. In the float competition that followed, the juniors won first with “Jackets Can’t Be Beat,” the seniors placed second with Breakfast of Champions,” and the band received third with “Give ’Em a Little Sole.” Saturday night concluded the never forgotten activities with the Homecoming Dance in the decor of the “Gay 90’s.” II Traditional bonfire enkindles into all the blaze of spirit. 1968 HOMECOMING COURT: Left to right: Sherrie Snider, Ed Hornberger; Judy Wiebusch, Don Petrowske; Jana Frazer, retiring queen, Randy Werre; Queen Linda Sellers, Allan Hopkins: Joyce Yankey, Rick Cluster; Mavis Weber, Steve Mizer. The annual Chester High School Homecoming Dance was a tremendous success. The King James Version provided the music for the dance and did a very wonderful job. One of C.H.S.'s own talented vocalists, Gail Feldman, joined the group for several selections. The theme of the dance was Let’s Take a Stroll Down Main Street To the Gay 90’s.” The main color scheme used for the decorations was red and white. Mrs. Paetzhold and her art classes and the Student Council did a fantastic job, for everyone felt transported back into time. Last but certainly not least was the presentation of the golden football to the queen. The chosen queen was Linda Sellers and her attendants were Joyce Yankey, Judy Wiebusch, Mavis Weber, and Sherrie Snider. Happy couples enjoying the atmosphere of the Gay 90’s.

Queen of {Jokers The Senior class, feeling that there were far too many beautiful girls at Chester High who were not formally recognized or honored, decided to sponsor a new queen contest in the school. Her title was that of “Queen of Jokers.1' The selection of this most beautiful girl was based on student vote. All students were allowed to cast as many penny votes as they wished. After the students had selected the new queen, there was a special coronation and dance to honor the charming Miss Willamina (Gary) Waltemate, a sophomore who proved that blondes do have more fun. The other candidates were Priscilla (Dennis) Preston, a freshman of unusual beauty; Henrietta (Herbie) Hecht, the walking example of “good things in small packages; ' Tina (Tom) Tindall, who had - maturity as well as beauty; and Bubbles (Tom) Bowles, who had the advantage of a well-developed figure.

The 1969 Speech Class gave a double-feature program before the student body. Oddly enough, the first feature was a play entitled Double-Talk. The plot consisted of identities, double identities, and mistaken identities which all added up to humor. The second part was a modified “Laugh-in,” in which the entire speech class took part. At the closing curtain, thanks were expressed to Mr. Church, speech class instructor, who played a major role in the planning of the program.

With this activity the Student Council Week was off and rolling” once again. After attending the district and state conventions, the Council members were able to combine sporadic wit and an array of new ideas into a week’s program. One of the main highlights of the week was Dogpatch Day. This particular day brought a legion of new fashions ranging from worn-out military jackets to a typical farmer’s outfit. Caramel Day was also a new experience during this week. The Freshman class placed first by eating approximately 1500 caramels in a two-minute time limit. 19 Dogpatch Day brought the Sadie Hawkins’ family to C.H.S.

Camelot Upon passing through the towering arch, students attending the 1969 Spring Dance were transformed into transient members of the age of gallantry and pageantry. The theme of this year's dance, Camelot, was carried out through the use of banners, shields, crowns, and even a draw bridge surrounded by a moat. The exotic moods that are connected with King Arthur's time were created once again through tne music provided by The Apple. The beautifully decorated gym was illuminated by the soft flames of candles as the romantic atmosphere overtook the room and completed to the utmost degree the feelings of warm associations and fond memories. Lovely decorations accentuate the theme of the dance. Pages assisting in the Coronation.

Do I have to think up another caption?” “Did you say draw the Eiffel Tower?” Perfection in speed and accuracy. 40 Once upon a year there was a Summit Staff. They lived and worked in a place called C.H.S. There were big workers and little workers. They captured sad moments, happy moments, and in-between moments. They were writers and photographers. They were artists and salesmen. Time was of the essence. They made deadlines, mistakes, and corrections. The result - a 1969 yearbook which reflected the lives of every C.H.S. student, a book which opened the door to many memories, a book which caused this 1969 Summit Staff to live happily ever after.

Jerry Johnson ran for one touchdown and also threw a T.D. pass to.Jack Herschbach. Allan Hopkins hit Gary Reinhardt with a T.D. pass and kicked all three extra points. The Jackets lost the game on a late Valle touchdown but showed promise for a good season. Double trouble for Pinckneyville. The next week brought the Jackets a conference win over the Wildcats of ANNA-JONESBORO. The 26-6 victory evened the Jacket record and started them on the right track. Jerry Johnson scored two touchdowns; Jerry Bauer and Pat Sulser one each; and Allan Hopkins added two extra points. The victory was a team effort as the Jackets made use of their manpower. Do ya wanna dance?” The Yellowjackets extended their winning streak to two by trouncing PINCKNEYVILLE 40-6. The Panthers found the Jacket offense too powerful as the Jackets jumped off to an early first quarter lead and breezed to victory. Ken Rubach and Jerry Bauer led the Jacket scoring with two touchdowns each; Pat Sulser and Jack Herschbach each scored one T.D.; and Allan Hopkins kicked four extra points.

PIUS X 46-6. Superior offensive and defensive power was the story in this game. Scoring for the Yellowjackets was done by Rubach, 15 points; Bauer, 12 points; Sulser, 6 points; and Hersch-bach, 6 points. Allan Hopkins was four for six in extra point attempts. The NASHVILLE game was nip and tuck all during the first half. The half-time score was 13-0, Jackets. Then, during the third quarter, the roof fell in as Nashville scored three quick T.D.’s. The Jackets never fully recovered after this blow. The final score was Nashville 26, Chester 20. Scoring for the Jackets was done by Johnson, 12 points; Cowan, 6 points; and two extra points from Hopkins. The next weekend the Yellowjackets were faced by the homecoming spirit of the DUQUOIN Indians. Pat Sulser was the only Jacket to break through the Indian line. DuQuoin scalped the Yellowjackets 62-6. After losing the game to DuQuoin, and the hope of winning the conference, the Yellowjackets could have called it a year and given up, but in a losing cause they proved their worth against MURPHYSBORO. Murphy was held to three touchdowns while Ken Rubach scored a touchdown and Allan Hopkins kicked the extra point. Final score: Murphy 22, Chester 7. The next week on a field of mud and water, the powerful host team, PERRYVILLE, beat the Jackets 34-0. The Jackets fought hard, but were outsized as Perry-ville went on to win the Missouri state championship in their class. The last game of the season proved to be the most exciting and rewarding of the year. Arch-rival SPARTA had led 7-0 most of the game, but with two minutes to go the Yellowjackets made a last-ditch drive. The game terminated with a Hopkins to Sulser touchdown pass, Hopkin’s crucial extra point, and a 7-7 tie. Although 18 senior players graduate this year, the underclassmen have a big fast line and a powerful backfield to make a potential contender next year. If they jell and play as a team, they could win the conference in 1969. 68 “You take the high road.

The Jackets then played host to Southern Illinois power team Sparta. The Bulldogs, averaging 6’5” per man, beat the Jackets 68-54. Chester then traveled to Pinckneyville where the Panthers beat the Jackets 75-60, as both teams played well on offense. Nashville, possible S W E (conference) contender, then visited the Jackets. With Cowan and Paetzhold scoring 29 out of 33 second half points, the Jackets won 59-56. Mizer goes for two during overime struggle. Now this is what you call an upsetting game! “Let go of it, Roger!” The Jackets then went to SteeleviUe for a wild game which Chester won 66-58. Chester, invited to the Worden Holiday Tournament, won a trophy for the second straight year as the Jackets won the consolation. They were beaten by Livingston 78-58, but then set a school record by beating Mount Olive 106-52. The Jackets then won their trophy by beating Brussels, 56-44. After a successful Christmas tournament, the Jackets came home to play host to undefeated Gorham. In a tight defensive struggle, Gorham won 49-47. Next, DuQuoin came to Chester and between skirmishes, the Indians won 84-71, as 44 fouls and one technical marred the play. 72 “Hi, everybody. Chester, hosting its own tournament, lost to Columbia 68-66 in the first game. They then beat St. Henry’s 66-63 and in the consolation championship the Jackets defeated Gorham 62-61 for the consolation trophy. Chester, still smarting from the DuQuoin loss, was out-played by Pinckneyville 95-74, despite an excellent 32 point performance by Steve Mizer. Although Murphysboro had been playing like the Jackets, they beat the Jackets 48-47 to hand Chester its fourth straight defeat. Sprengel, valuable sixth man, adds punch to Jacket offense. In what was supposed to be a revenge game at DuQuoin, the Jackets and Indians played a clean and hustling game although DuQuoin won 58-54. Chester then visited Marissa and in a wild see-saw affair, Chester again came out on the short end of a 59-56 score. The Jackets, playing good basketball despite losing, visited Sparta. The Bulldogs, who had been playing up to expectation, beat Chester 58-43. After their good game at Sparta, the unpredictablejackets came home and lost 73-63 to Anna, a previous winner of only one game. The Jackets, on the road again, visited Nashville. The Hornets had complete change of team personnel and were winning regularly as they beat Chester in a tight defensive game 51-43. Chester, startingto play well again and needing some good breaks, didn’t get them against Columbia, as the Jackets were beaten in overtime 52-50. Finding his path blocked, Paetzhold attempts pass to Cowan. Jerry attempts to break Trico’s defense. “Come on boys, let me down!” Cowan’s magic touch guides ball to basket. At Waterloo, the Jackets started slowly and were behind by ten at half-time. The Jackets then came out the second half playing well and fought back only to lose 57-55. After their ninth straight loss, the Jackets played host to Murphysboro and were determined to win. Inspired by Tom Search’s hustling play, the Jackets pulled through and won 73-56. With Search again leading the way the Jackets beat Anna-Jonesboro 78-60. Paetzhold had 30 points and Mizer 23 for the victors. The struggle. Even though the Jackets were possessing high hopes as they traveled to the Regional Tournament, they were stunned as they met a fired up Trico team. Trico took the victory 76-49. The struggle’s victory. Since this year’s team consisted of only two Seniors, the Jackets can expect a well-planned and organized team for the 1969-1970 season.

At the Varsity Conference meet only Jack Herschbach and Gary Golden kept up their great performance as they won the high and low hurdles respectively. In Chester's last triangular meet at Pinckneyville with Marissa, Jack and Gary again won the high and low hurdles while the Freshmen won their relay event. A new winner was Pat Sulser as he won the discus. On May 10, the District Track Meet was held at Carbondale, where only Jack placed in two events: the high and low hurdles.

In the second Conference game of the year, the Jackets were beaten 3-1 by DuQuoin. The Jackets got timely hitting, but their fielding cost them the game. Our tough-luck Jackets then met Nashville only to lose again. The 2-1 defeat gave the Jackets their third straight loss. After three close, but disappointing games, the Jackets got together to win two from Gibault 2-0, 4-3.

The Jackets, behind Joe Ritter’s pitching, played excellent baseball and beat Anna-Jonesboro 4-1 for their second conference win. Chester then visited Sparta where a strong Bulldog team beat the Jackets 5-2. For Chester’s third conference win, Pinckneyville proved worthy again, as the Jackets rolled up 8 runs in an 8-2 victory. 78 Now playing good ball, Chester went to Sesser where they were again frustrated by losses of 6-5 and 3-0. The Yellowjackets, despite a double loss to Sesser, bounced back to beat Murphys-boro twice in one week, 7-1 and 4-0. Allan Hopkins and Joe Ritter pitched the two' victories. Chester then placed host to Sparta as both teams fought for second place in the conference with Nashville. The Jackets, behind Allan Hopkins' five RBI's and Joe Ritter's pitching, won 5-4. In the district the Yellowjackets continued their winning ways as they got revenge against Red Bud 3-2. The next game against Sparta gave the Bulldogs a chance to get revenge as they trounced the Jackets 1-0, and eliminated them from the tournament. In the last game of the season, the Jackets played Nashville in a make-up game. The Hornets won 4-1 despite good pitching by Joe Ritter, as the Jackets finished out a very productive 9-11 season. The Jackets finished third in the conference to DuQuoin and Nashville with a 6 and 5 conference record. The Junior Baseball Jackets had a short and fairly successful season. They had only four games as they won one, lost two, and had one rained out. Although their hitting was good, their pitching didn't hold up well.

She meets new students in her English I class and then says goodbye to them after English IV. 86 D. NATHO H. STANLEY L. ELLIS and Application Upon entering the French room one encounters Miss Blair and is greeted by her friendly smile. Through her vast understanding of the French language, she tries to impart knowledge of French to her students. French students become acquainted with the language through both oral and written work. She also sponsors the FrenchClub. Miss Blair is a teacher whom everyone truly admires. A teacher new to the halls of Chester High School is Mrs. Van Meter, English I and II instructor. Mrs. Van Meter, who taught two years at SIU, has been assigned to sometimes difficult task of supervising the first hour study hall. Although she lives in Carbondale, she participates a great deal in school activities and is currently a sponsor of the yearbook. Books, books, and more books! But a library wouldn’t be a library without them. Our librarian, Mrs. Sabo, makes sure that students have a wide range of books from which to choose. She also gives valuable assistance to the seniors as a class sponsor. “Some of the copy the kids turn in for the yearbook is unbelievable!” V. BLAIR E. VAN METER A. SABO They’re getting better; this book is only three months overdue.’’ 87 M. O. LIMBAUGH R. FUQUA E. REIMAN “Now for the cartoon .. “Do as I say; not as I do.” Principles and fundamentals.• One of the most well-liked teachers of the faculty of Chester High School is Mr. Limbaugh. Mr. Limbaugh enjoys taking his biology classes on field trips during the fall and again in the spring. He is also interested in his students’ science projects and the annual planning of a bigger and better science fair.” Mr. Limbaugh is also a Science Club sponsor and a senior class sponsor. Mr. Reiman endeavors to do almost the impossible - try to make students comprehend the baffling mysteries of science or the complicated equations of math. He can always be found in the physics lab instructing students on the proper procedure or at the board showing a student his mistakes. The science and math department is fortunate to have a fine teacher such as Mr. Reiman. Exciting and educational science and chemistry classes are the result of Mr. Fuqua's dedication and hard work. Besides teaching chemistry, general science and advanced chemistry, he takes on the big jobs of sponsoring the junior class and co-sponsoring the Science Club. Do you want the test today or tomorrow?” 88 guidance and 'Direction Algebra I, Algebra II, and vocational math suddenly take on a different feeling when taught by Mrs. Riley, Energy and understanding give Mrs. Riley a combination that provides excellence in everything she attempts. In spite of her busy schedule, she finds time to be a sophomore class sponsor. Test scores, grade averages, and transcripts are frequently the business of interested students as they enter Mr. Myatt’s office. He daily is willing to give assistance to students as they face the big questions of college, career, and the future. A dedicated counselor and a Sophomore English teacher, her ready smile greets all as they enter her office for information concerning CHS or the years following. We will never forget her in the decisions she helped us make. Her influence will continue in CHS as she guides more students on a straight road to the future and success. Besides counseling and teaching, Mrs. Woolcott also sponsors the freshman class. W. RILEY B. WOOLCOTT W. MY ATT No, we don't need our fairy tale books for today! No, two and two aren't six. Well, 1 see the class of '69 holds several records. Exercising Skills A well-liked and hard-working member of the faculty is head of our Art department. Mrs. Paetzhold, better known to the students as Teach,” is always on hand to guide and direct many Student Council activities and personal art projects. She uses her imagination and talent to assist in designing the decorations for all school dances. Planning for tours and discussions is only a particle of the work of our Home Economics teacher. Mrs. Frazier not only finds time to instruct her students in the fundamentals of homemaking, but she is also the sponsor of the F.H.A. This year she assisted in sponsoring the Senior Class and accompanied them on their trip to Washington, D.C. The boys at C.H.S. became acquainted with a new but talented member of the faculty through the Industrial Arts classes. Mr. Bondurant participated this year by teaching the three levels of Industrial Arts and Drafting I. Don’t forget, this punch is going to be served at the teachers’ meeting.” No, you may not borrow my crayolas.” P. PAETZHOLD J. FRAZIER W. BONDURANT If I had a hammer...” 90 J. BIRCHLER R. HELDEBRANDT C. CLENDENIN Charting Vocations Our capable band and chorus director has much to be proud of this year. The band, though young, did a great job during concerts, sports events, and parades. Under Mr, Birchler’s excellent guidance, the chorus was undoubtedly the best in many years. However, Mr, B’s real prize is his lovely new daughter. In his first year of teaching at Chester High School, Mr. Heldebrandt has proven to be quiet yet thorough in his teachings. He teaches agriculture and general science and sponsors the F.F.A. and is also co-sponsor of the Freshman Class. The completion of the C.H.S.

He supervised the work in Building Trades, along with Shop and Advanced Drafting. 91 Civic Application, Physical Instruction, 'Didn’t you read last night’s lesson, or is read a dirty word?” Anyone who has had Mr. Wise need not be told that his classes are an experience worth having. American History, economics, and geography students all are well acquainted with the red Dictionary of American Politics which contains information on almost every possible subject. An avid reader, Mr. Wise is well-versed on every aspect of his classes. Known for his easy smile and outgoing personality, Mr, Germain brings to his World History classes a spice of delight.

With skill and never-ending patience, he’s always ready to aid inexperienced drivers with that so-difficult, just-right bit of information needed to help make a near-perfect driver. Mr. Bruns is always remembered for his witty remarks after students once leave the classroom and car. Girls, clean P. E. suits Monday!” A familiar face to almost every student is Mrs. Juergens. Daily she puts her girls through strenuous” exercises. Besides being the P.E. teacher, she also coaches the cheerleaders, sponsors the G.A.A. and Pep Club.

CAFETERIA WORKERS: MRS. KERKHOVER, MRS. RALPHS HEAD MAINTENANCE MAN: NELSON THURAU Cafeteria Workers and Custodians This year C.H.S. had a new type of lunch program. Our competent cooks knew that sandwiches weren't enough for growing teens so they added a few exras to the menu, such as soup, cake, fruit, and french fries. Head Maintenance man for both the Chester Community Grade School and Chester High School is Mr. Nelson Thurau. Better known as Nellie to the students and faculty members, he has the job of keeping the equipment in good working condition. One member who has rendered twenty years of service with a smile is Mr. Walter House. He can be seen daily in the halls performing his tasks cheerfully and skillfully. Mr. Milton Eggers, better known to the students as Bud, is always willing to be of help. No matter what the job is, Bud will see it through.
