Yet occasionally a teacher with a unique combination of these assets happens along. Such a teacher we have in mind. This teacher for years has not only commanded respect from the students while imparting knowledge, but also has shown students that they are respected, too. The Summit Staff proudly dedicates the 1970 SUMMIT to Mrs. Wanda Riley. MRS. WANDA RILEY Mrs. Riley instructs her Algebra students. Mrs. Riley always has time to help her students. Now you boys behave yourselves.” Mrs. Riley, surprised and overwhelmed, accepts the scroll announcing the dedication. 3 Tjet your light so shine as individuals. Individuals are Chester High School and create feelings. Feelings that lead to happenings which make up a year. The 1970 Summit has endeavored to capture special moments from these happenings. These are your moments, your happenings, and your year. The students had, truly, a year of: BEING THEMSELVES 4 A CTIVITIES 5 April Aspley gives a pep-talk.

One of the activities the students of Chester High School look forward to is the MAGAZINE SALES. Every student in school tries to sell magazines to get prizes, which range from hamburgers to stereos. Each class tries their hardest to beat the other classes in their selling records. The money that is made from the magazine sales goes into the treasury to help pay for the various activities during the school year. The manager this year, Marla Ehlers, and her co-manager, Jane Akers, worked very hard to prepare for the Magazine Sales and to keep records of the sales. To help them with their jobs were Alan Congiardo, Brenda McCloud, Sandy Waltemate, Jane Sweany, Mark Mayberry, Ronda Quigley, Curtis Welge, Kathy Wilson, and Craig Witbart. With the help of the committee and those who participated in the magazine sales, the total of $1283.23 was made. MAGAZINE SALES 7 Don't get sticky fingers, Mark! Happiness is getting a prize. HOMECOMING POWER The week began with the usual bustling excitement of Homecoming time. Floats had to be designed and constructed, strategems for the game had to be decided, and orders for corsages had to be made. On Thursday night a spirited student body greeted the cheerleaders, the team, and the band. The cheerleaders insured the spirit of the team by giving the coaches and the team large lollipops stating, Lick 'Em! Friday evening the team, the cheerleaders, the royal court, the band, and the twirlers assembled at the courthouse for the Homecoming parade. The Yellowjackets fought a long hard game but lost to the DuQuoin Indians. At halftime Miss Jeanne Brown was crowned 1969 Homecoming Queen by the retiring queen. Miss Linda Sellers. In the float competition the band won first place; the second place was taken by the seniors; and student council won third place. On Saturday night the students had an enjoyable evening dancing in the atmosphere of the circus. 8 70 POWER • A.JB J . 9 1969 HOMECOMING COURT: Left to right: Donnie Jolley, April Aspley, Danny Cowell, Jane Sweany, Allan Hopkins, Linda Sellers, retiring queen; Queen Jeanne Brown, Kenneth Wagner, Steve Mizer, Mavis Weber, Dean Marlen, Barb Mulholland.

The music was very effective and was enjoyed by everyone. The theme of the dance was Circus Day. The bright lights, shining balloons, and miniature clowns put everyone in the mood of circus life. Mrs. Paetzhold and her art classes and the Student Council did an effective job. The evening was topped off with the presentation of the golden football to Queen Jeanne Brown. The queen's attendants were April Aspley, Mavis Weber, Barb Mulholland, and Jane Sweany. The music was enjoyed by everyone. 10 II Miss Jeanne Brown and her escort, Kenneth Wagner.

DONKEY BASKETBALL On December 5, Chester High School housed some unusual guests. These somewhat odd guests were the comical donkeys belonging to the Buckeye Donkey Ball Company. Laughter filled the gym when the clean-up committee did their thing! One donkey must have become very hungry, for he ate the one dollar bill intended for the Dollar Derby. Some of the donkeys showed their stubbornness by being immoveable , while a few showed overflowing friskiness much to the dismay of their riders. Spectators - young and old - enjoyed watching the delightful Donkey Basketball Game. 14 The older generation in action. mm Some students did a dance routine enacting the part of messengers of the good news. The speech class presents a Christmas play. CHRISTMAS FEELING Wishing to instill the Christmas spirit into the students, the Student Council, together with the band and the speech class, sponsored a special Christmas program. The first part of the program was devoted to timely music sung by Bob Limbaugh and Ted Mueller, Joe Scheffer, and the United Way, while the band tempted the students' musical taste by giving them a sample of what the annual concert was to be like that evening. A graceful dance routine was also performed, displaying hidden talents some of our fellow students possess. After many weeks of memorizing and rehearsing their parts, the speech class contributed their share in boosting the spirit of Christmas by presenting a take-off of Dickens' Christmas Carol - A Hillbilly Christmas Carol. Joe stirred many hearts with his songs. 15 The gym before the transformation. Mavis devotes her time making daisies. TIME PREPARATION Smile, Randy!

SPORTS Gary Golden scoots across the goal line against Anna. The 1969 football season, although disappointing in the won-lost column, showed that Chester could play well and that a never-say-die attitude led the team. The first game of the season against VALLE, always a tough opponent of Chester, proved Chester’s ability. Valle was behind at half-time 8-0 as Jerry Johnson blocked a punt, picked it up, and scored. Steve Mizer made the extra point. Valle then scored three times in the second half to defeat the Jackets 20-8.
