The high points of our lives; Moments captured and with time, Never forgotten HlAllAinS 181.61 Chester High School Chester, III. 1978 Qummit Dedication Mr. and Mrs. Robert C. Fuqua This year the Summit Staff would like to dedicate the 1978 Summit to two of Chester High School's teachers who are truly deserving. The '78 Summit is proudly dedicated to Mr. and Mrs. Fuqua, two of Chester High School’s most avid sports fans and most dedicated teachers. Neither Mr. nor Mrs. Fuqua is ever too tired to challenge the sometimes threatening weather to make it to the game. It's great to know that we'll always have at least two in the stands. Mr. and Mrs. Fuqua are two of the finest instructors we have in our school today. They both have their own style and they both get the job done. Besides their teaching duties, the Fuqua’s have been the Junior class sponsors for a number of years, helping the officers with such decisions as which ring styles to show the rest of the class, and what the theme of the float should be each year. In summation the Summit would like to express its appreciation to this wonderful couple, for their encouragement, for their guidance, and for all they have done in the past years for the betterment of today’s youth. On behalf of all the people who have gained from knowing you, we extend this sincere thank you. The Summit Staff Jackets claim second place in 8.E.C. conference football race.

D. Bauersachs “The Chester High School means — an opportunity for young people to develop their skills and abilities in preparation for citizenship and adult responsibilties.” Principal Mr. Warren Buescher ‘‘Chester High School occupies a special place in my mind. Every student who ever has and ever will receive some of his formal education from within its walls has the opportunity to at least begin to discover the hidden powers that lie within him. For anyone to discover those powers, and then to find a way to put them to use, is the most important kind of education to be had. I hope it will happen often here.” Asst. Principal Mr. Bobby King ‘‘Chester High School means to me what high school has always meant to me. I believe it to be one of the most enjoyable times in an individual’s life. In the short span of four years it is possible to obtain a firm academic foundation for a life’s work, to make lifelong friendships, and to have good times which are often unequaled at any other time in life.” 13 School Board (L) to (R) Mr Jack Thomas, Sec. of Board; Mr Allen Clendenm.

They must pass 30 hours of classroom instruction and go through 6 hours of nerve-wracking instruction in the driver's ed car. That is, it's nerve-wracking for the instructor.

After the tour, the students were given a chance to participate in an essay contest about their observations.

They took their lives and their Belongings and headed out the door. We didn't even say goodbye. Where am I to turn to for the Moments of laughter and living? Strangers coming and going in my life, But my people are gone. Carol Milligan Editors: Robin Garris Nancy Lutz 77 August 1977 Dear Diary, Today was my first day as a freshman at Ch ter High. It was called Freshman Orientation. We met some seniors and were given a tour of the school. Everything seemed so big!! I'm so excited about being a new freshman. My sister told me to watch out for the seniors. They might initiate me. Next day Dear Diary, Today was my first real school day as a freshman. I only got lost twice. Some senior boy told me the Home Ec room was on the fourth floor. I think my combination lock is broken. I couldn't get it open. Someone called me birdo when I dropped my books in the hall. (P.S. I think I love Coach Trapp. He is a hunk!) And so it goes on the first day of a freshman girl. After the freshmen get used to the school, CHS offers a constant flow of activities and organizations in which they can participate. The following pages in this section, Student Life, will reflect on those activities and organizations 78 during the 1977-1978 year. Homecoming Parade Juniors Sophomores 1 st Place The CHS Alumni Band Band 2nd Place Freshmen ri RtH ti The Parade Sets the Mood for the Homecoming Activities.

In November, they sponsored an all-school dance. Music was provided by Satis-Fire. Student Council Week started off this year with a marshmallow stuffing contest. First place winner was Dave Helms with 31 marshmallows. Next was a car stuff which the Sophomores won. There was also an egg throwing contest with Dave Helms and Donnie Clark as winners.

Besides their annual convention at Springfield and their Student Teaching Day, the group has also been involved in fund-raising activities and group get- togethers. This year the club tried something different. They had a Teacher-Student Turn about day. Also this year, the group gave the teachers a very nice Christmas breakfast.

These activities included a creative pizza party, a sc lger hunt “in the rain,” and the annual Christmas party for both FHA and French Club. The educational activities included a demonstration by a beautician who gave beauty tips (and cut Wynette’s hair), a cosmetologist, and a tour of the Forget-Me-Not Florist. The FHA used the money earned from the coat check during the basketball season and the yard sale to go to Forest Park in St. Louis and shopping in May. Mrs. Frazier is the FHA sponsor.

Under the sponsorship of Mrs. Rhodes, the club went all out in February with The Mardi Gras. Everyone wore costumes and enjoyed a feast of various French cuisine.” In money raising, the French Club held a bake sale in November, and sold cookbooks in March. In May, The French Club used these funds to go to St. Louis to see Le Petit Prince, a French play by St. Exupery, and afterwards ate at a French restaurant in St. Louis. 94 Kim Grott, PRESIDENT Robin Garris, VICE PRESIDENT Gina Frazer, SECRETARY TREASURER SCIENCE CLUB Under the direction of Mr. Limbaugh, the Science Club completed another active year. Besides their regular meetings, the club held a drug symposium in the old gymnasium, took field trips, and went on a campout. They were also responsible for setting up the Science Fair. At our local Science Fair this year, seven first places were awarded. These students advanced to the regional level where Dave Nierman and Rob Wolz, Todd Jones, and Dan Welge received first place awards. These boys then advanced to the State Science Fair held in Champagne on May 12-13. Bottom Row (I to r): Owen Welge. V.P.; John Backensto, Treas.; Row 2: Richard Wallace.

Editors. They have all done an excellent job in producing this year’s book, and should be congratulated for their accomplishments. The 1978 Summit Staff, under the direction of Mrs. Scolari, has accomplished many things this past year. In the summer of ’77, the section-heads attended a three day yearbook workshop at the Carbondale University. There, they began to plan the '78 Summit. This year the Staff put a lot of effort into the annual, and added many new features. The yellow ad pages, the custom designed cover, and color pictures are just a few of these. The Staff started working on this book in May of 1977. They worked through the summer, on snow days, Saturdays, and spent many late nights meeting deadlines.

They went 7-0 their first season. The coaches, the players’ parents, and the players themselves had visions of a Conference title and a State playoff bid. The next two years served to strengthen these hopes, as they had a record of 8-1 their sophomore year and one of 7-2 as juniors. Their strong point was a very tough defense. They had five shut-outs their sophomore year. Their junior year they held all but three opponents to twelve points or less. Their last football season was very good. They swept over Zeigler 24-0 and DuQuoin 34-0 and got past Anna 7-0. Then disaster struck. At Murphysboro, a fired-up Devil team surprised the injury-plagued Jackets, defeating them 0-17. Several key players, Don Korando, Bill Knowles, Randy Thurau, Dave Nier-man, and Dean Link, were either sick or injured. After that defeat the Jackets knew they needed to win their five remaining games to keep alive their chance for a share of the Conference title and maybe a playoff berth. But it was not to be. Although Chester did win their last five and finished with an 8-1 record, Murphy remained unbeaten in Conference play and the Jackets had to settle for second place. Still, Chester’s play-off hopes remained alive, though slim, until the day before their last game, when several independent schools clinched playoff berths. This group of athletes should be con-grtulated on their excellent contributions during their grid career at CHS.

At halftime on the designated night, the parents are asked to line up. Then each set of parents is recognized and their son or daugh ter comes out to them. Mothers receive a rose, fathers, a handshake. Hopefully this CHS tradition will continue for many more years. 129 Cross Country Brian Carlton, Dale Nanney, Bob Brel|e, Bob Kipp, Dave Melchers, Tim Mathias, Coach Dale Trott. This year the cross-country team ran to a season record of four wins and ten losses. They also competed in three large meets, placing tenth in the Okawville Invitational, fifth in the S.W.E. Conference meet, and twelth in the District. Inexperience played a part in the Jacket harriers poor showing, for they had no returning lettermen and even had a rookie coach. Several lettermen on this year's team will be back again next year, hopefully improving on this year’s record.

At the Conference match they got it all together and took first place. This was the fourth time in five years that the Jacket golfers have captured first place in the Conference match. Chris Jones had an excellent season, getting medalist honors in nine of the thirteen regular season matches. At home he averaged 39.3 strokes on the par 36 course and had a season average of 39.6. He paced the Jackets at the Conference match, taking medalist honors there by shooting a 78.

However, this did not dampen first-year Head Coach Trott’s enthusiasm. He knew there was nowhere to go but up. The Jackets started their season with an exciting come-from-behind victory over Trico. Then they fell into a bad slump, losing seven out of their next eight games. The Jacket cagers then won four of their next five games, improving their record to 6-8. During the second week of January, they took third place as host team in the Chester Invitational by defeating Valle, being beaten by Steeleville, and then mauling Gorham. Unfortunately, the Jackets began another losing streak, losing their next four games and dropping their record to 6-12. In the five final regular season games, the Jackets showed steady improvement, taking four of the five games, their only loss was to Sparta in overtime. They finished the regular season with a 7-11 record and a 4-10 record in the S.W.E. Conference. In the Class A Regional Tournament held at Sparta, the Jackets avenged the earlier defeat by Sparta by beating the Bulldogs 63-55. They lost their last game of the season to Pinckneyville. This dropped them out of the State Tournament and put their final season record at 11-14. A letter of congratulations was sent to the Nashville Hornets by the Chester coaches and athletes. The Nashville team won first place in the State Class A Tournament held at Champaign. 134 Schedule Trico W CHS 67 Opp. 65 Steeleville L 64 65 (20T) Nashville L 50 80 Pinckneyville L 55 69 Murphysboro L 65 68 Anna L 64 91 Columbia Tournament Jerseyville W 61 52 Lebanon L 52 85 Carlyle L 55 64 Sparta W 78 63 Chester Invitational Valle (Ste.

However, a couple of freshmen made it into the ranks of the JV. Also, several juniors and sophomores got some needed experience that will help them when they play on the varsity level next year. The JV finished their season with a 5-14 record and the freshmen ended up 1 -10. Si?hlheberd9eS’ Sh'eldS- R°n Cushman- RandV Wofford, Ron Wagner, Chipper Wittenbrmk.

These girls worked well together and spent many hours practicing and combining their talents to produce one of the finest cheerleading squads ever. In January, their hard work resulted in achieving their ultimate goal, to be chosen as the number one squad in the Chester Invitational Tournament. 142 Front: Cathy Runge; Middle Row: Amy Stumpe, Barb Wathen, Jill Viniard, (Capt ), Top: Pam Yankey, Cheri Yankey Boosting the Spirits of Chester Fans Was Not an Easy Job . . .

Though experience was not in their favor, these girls worked that much harder and as the cheerleading season progressed, so did they. Their precise motions and bright smiles attracted the attention of spectators from game to game. Front: Mary Limbaugh (Capt). Middle Row: Ronda Johnson, Julie Rucker, Julie Gordon; Top: Cheri Ward.

After dropping their first game by one run, the Jackets got rolling, winning their next five games. At this time, they were in first place in the Conference with a 4-0 record. But then an unexplainable turnabout took place. The Jackets lost their next eight games. None of these were lost by more than five runs, and three of the defeats were by a single run. This dropped their Conference record to 4-8 and put them in sixth place. In the last five regular season games, the Jackets won three, but were shut out in the other two. Playing in their final game, in the Regional tournament, the Jackets were disgraced by Trico, losing 2-11. This seemed an appropriate ending to a season that was looked forward to with great expectations by the coaches and players, but which ended in only disappointment. Hopefully, Coach Trapp will be able to “rally his troops and put together a successful season next year.

If, at the beginning of the season, the female track team was mediocre (as some people thought), then the girls improved enough to take third place in the S.W.E. Conference and break ten school records before the end of the season. This was the first girls’ track team, since it was formed in 1975, to have such a young and balanced group of athletes. Their 0-9 record in dual and triangular meets really isn't an accurate indication of how well they are capable of performing. This year’s team rewrote the record books for the girls’ track program. Out of the sixteen events they participated in, records were smashed in ten. Cathy Runge, Amy Stumpe, and Julie Rucker each had a part in breaking three records. Deb Reid, Jill Miller, and Elissa Shaffer each helped break two. Hopefully the girls will continue to improve and have an even more successful season next spring. 150 Best performances of the season event participant Shot Put Beth Ludwig Discus Rhonda Beck •Long Jump Deb Reid •High Jump Cathy Runge •100 Yard Dash Julie Rucker 220 Yard Dash Beth Ludwig •440 Yard Dash Amy Stumpe •880 Yard Run Jill Miller •Mile Run Deb Carlton 2 Mile Run Deb Carlton 100 Hurdles Cathy Runge 220 Hurdles Cathy Runge •440 Yard Relay Julie Rucker 880 Yard Relay Beth Ludwig Elissa Shaffer Laurie Clore Julie Rucker 880 Medley Relay Beth Ludwig Deb Reid Laurie Clore Amy Stumpe •Mile Relay Julie Rucker Deb Reid Bonnie Mueller Cathy Runge •new school record Jill Miller Elissa Shaffer Amy Stumpe A Boys' Track Front Row: David Powell, Bill Lynn, Brian Baughman, Randy Wof ford, Tim Thornton, Dale Nanney, Bill Tilley, Chipper Wittenbrmk, Brian Carlton Second Row: Coach Herschbach.

The track team wasn’t too successful in the regular season, having a 1-8 record in dual and triangular meets. However, several of the tracksters “peaked” at the end of the season and did well at the large meets in which the Jackets participated. At the S.W.E. Conference meet, three Jackets scored. Alex Melchers took third in the discus, Brian Carlton took third in the 2 mile, and David Melchers placed fourth in the mile. At the Frosh-Soph Conference meet, Carlton took third in the mile and fourth in the 2 mile. Bill Tilley placed second in the 880, and the 2 mile relay team was second. The following people placed at the DuQuoin Classic: Ed Kerkhover, third in the high jump, fourth in the triple jump; Mike Gentsch, third in the heavy 100; Alex Melchers, fifth in the discus; Brian Carlton, fifth in the 2 mile; the 2 mile relay team consisting of Brian Carlton, Bill Tilley, David Melchers, and Dale Nanney, fifth. At the District, only one Jacket placed. David Niermann, hampered with a hamstring injury all season, worked hard to get his legs in good enough shape to take fifth place with a 10.6 100 yard dash. With ten lettermen returning, the Jackets should be able to improve on this year’s record. 154 Best Performances Event Participant Time or Distance High Jump Kerkhover 5'10 Long Jump Cowan 18'2 Triple Jump Kerkhover 38'9 Pole Vault Thornton 9'6 Shot Put A.

Its purpose was to recognize the athletes that participated in any sport at CHS. A chicken dinner was served first. After the dinner, Ray Sonnenberg, an NFL official, gave a somewhat humerous, somewhat serious account of sports in general. Finally, awards were given to athletes who showed superior performances in each sport.
