If we print jokes, people say we re silly; If we don't, they say we re too serious; If we clip them from other magazines, We are too lazy to write them ourselves; If we don’t, we re too struck on our own stuff; If we stick to the job all day, We ought to be hunting up news; If we get out and try to hustle, We ought to be on the job in the office; If we don't print contributions, We don't appreciate genius; And if we do print them, the annual is full of junk; If we make a change in the other fellow's write-up, We are too critical; If we don't, we must be asleep; Now, like as not someone is going to say that we stole This from another yearbook, Well . . . This yearbook is typical of all yearbooks. It was made by human hands; Therefore, it contains human errors. W e re proud of this book; we like it, And we hope you will enjoy it too. Summit Editors, Mary Limbaugh and Jill Viniard Jeannie Mann and Jeanne Yu 2 It is well to give when asked, but it is better to give unasked through understanding. — Gibran There is a teacher among us who has, for eleven years, willingly and unselfishly given his time to many Chester High School students. He has coached many freshmen on to victories on both the football field and basketball court, spent numerous days on and off the road, in ditches, and on sidewalks with student drivers. Decked out in his everyday black and white, he can usually be found in the gym teaching a P.E. class. But his work doesn't end here. The hours spent scheduling and rescheduling ballgames, preparing for tournaments, and taking care of all the little things that make an athletic department tops are all a part of this man's daily routine. We, the Summit staff, feel that his work and contributions have been taken for granted for too long. Now, we would like to take this opportunity to commend and thank him for all he's done. The 1979 Summit is proudly dedicated to Coach Rocky Bridges, a friend and teacher to us all. v . ; .iv- ; ' ■ ■ v. A 1 1 .

The chore of electing new officers is lightened with Student Council Week. Student Council Week is the most bizarre week of the year. (It is also the most fun!) From suspenders and crazy hats to teachers in diapers, Sadie Hawkins monsters, and races around the track, this week proves to be very eventful. The Student Council is sponsored by Mrs. Paetzhold, Mrs. Woolcott, and Miss Rothfuss.

It was at the workshop that they began work on the 79 annual. For their money making activities they sold old pictures, and carnations on Valentines Day, as well as advertising to local business sponsors. With the money that they earned, the Summit added more color pages to the book. Group determination and hard work have made the Summit a fine and lasting remembrance of high school days. 25 Summit 79 Future Homemakers of America Bottom Row (L to R): Christy Holzum, Tammy Turner.

After nine offensive and eight defensive starters from last year's 8-1 team graduated second-year Head Coach John Trapp had the job of filling the gaping holes in the lineup. Apparently he found the right combination of capable, but inexperienced, seniors and a handful of talented juniors, for his team had another successful season. The Jackets started their season by routing Zeigler 49-8 and breezing by Carlyle 24-12. They then won a close game against DuQuoin, in which the Indians defense held the Jackets to only eight points, least the Jackets scored all season. However, Chester’s equally tough defense held DuQuoin to six. preserving the victory foi the Jackets. The Jacket defense played its finest game against Anna, holding the Wildcats to 67 yards rushing and 39 yards passing and keeping them scoreless. Meanwhile, Chester’s offense moved 353 total yards and tallied 24 points. The Anna win raised Chester s record to 4-0 and put their record in the Conference at 3-0. 104 Unfortunately, the Jackets were unable to win the big game. Even with a home field advantage, Chester could not beat Murphysboro. Numerous turnovers allowed the Red Devils to build up an insurmountable halftime lead. Chester could do nothing right, and lost by 42 points 14-56. After the Murphy defeat, the Jackets won three close games, each by a single touchdown. Chester went to Pinckneyville to face the Panthers, who then had a 4-0 Conference record. The Jackets won the hard-fought contest by the score of 14-7. At their Homecoming, the Jackets seemed unprepared and fell behind Nashville 13-6 in the last quarter. An 87 yard punt return by John Cowan sent the game into overtime. In the overtime period, quarterback Scott Bridges scored on fourth down from two yards out to pull out the victory for the Jackets. The Jackets played cross country rival Sparta in their last Conference game. Both teams struggled to a scoreless tie in the first half, in which the Jacket defense kept the Bulldogs from scoring in several key situations. In the second half, the Jackets came out fired up, and moved the ball almost at will. The offense racked up 260 yards while the defense held Sparta to 91. This marked the fourth consecutive time, including this year s 12-6 victory, the Chester varsity has beaten rival Sparta. In their last game of the season the Jackets mauled Columbia. 48-6, in a game which they dominated from start to finish. John Cowan, Chester's fullback, rushed 195 yards. This raised his season rushing total to 1016 yards, a new school record and second best in Southern Illinois. Cowan also finished first in Southern Illinois in scoring with 92 points. The Jackets finished the season 8-1 and had a 6-1 record in the S.W.E. Conference. Unfortunately, Murphysboro remained unbeaten and for the third straight year Chester was Conference runner-up behind Murphy. Again, Chester s playoff chances stayed alive until their last game, but, like last year, they narrowly missed gaining a State berth. Hopefully future teams will continue the winning tradition established by recent Chester teams. 105 cz f-[[ £. (2onftrines.

It started in 1975, when twenty-two eager freshmen, under the guidance of Coach Rocky Bridges, compiled a 5-2 record. Their defense had three shutouts and held three other teams to one touchdown. They finished second in the Conference, their only Conference loss being to Sparta. TIM LOCHHEAD 5'11 — 168 Halfback Linebacker JOHN COWAN 6'0 — 182 Fullback Linebacker During their second year, coached by John Trapp, they had another impressive season. The eighteen sophomores outscored their first three opponents 116-0. Throughout the season they gained 700 more yards and scored 152 more points than their opponents. They finished the season 6-2. However, both losses were Conference games and they ended up Conference runner-up behind Murphysboro. Their junior season, directed by new Head Coach Trapp, was even better than their first two. The Jacket defense was the best in all Southern Illinois, having five shutouts and allowing only 30 points in their first eight games. Although the team was dominated by seniors, several of the thirteen juniors filled key spots on offense and defense. The Jackets finished with an 8-1 record. Unfortunately, their only loss was to Murphysboro. and for the third straight year took second place in the Conference.

Guard Monster Linebacker At the beginning of this season, with only thirteen returning seniors, fans wondered if the Jackets could win without the help of the previous year's seniors. The Jackets came through. With nine seniors filling offensive and defensive positions, they had a season almost identical to the year before. The offense ran up 2569 yards, over 800 more than their opponent. The defense had one shutout and held five other teams to a single touchdown. The Jackets again finished B-l. second only to Murphysboro in the Conference. 108 The character and determination of this group of athletes is best summed up by Head Coach Trapp: I feel the 8-1 record for this year is largely a result of the strong character of the players we had in our program this season.'' All the boys realized going into the season that we were not going to have much depth. Instead of being complacent about being starters, everyone worked hard to be the best in the Conference. I’m very proud of this team for being so determined to make this season the great one that it was. The players deserve all the credit they can get for making Chester a tremendous success in football again this year.' BILL FARMER 6'2 — 188 Specialty Teams Def. End STEVE MIDDENDORF 6'3 — 182 Off.

Injuries riddled the backfield of the JV. They lost their starting quarterback and a running back for the entire season and their back-up quarterback for a couple of weeks. They finished the season 2-6. The freshmen, certainly not lacking in number, looked promising. As these boys mature, their potential on the varsity level will be unlimited. The freshmen ended their season 3-3. Front Row: David Lochhead. John Welge, John She-monic. John Wingerter, Matt Whittenberg, Wayne Chambers. David Randolph, Bill Abernathy, Terry Mul-holland.

They were hurt by a lack of depth as they had only four regular golfers. However, at their home course hosting the Conference match, they once again took the championship. This was the sixth time in seven years the Jacket golfers have reigned over the S.W.E. Conference. Senior Chris Jones had a remarkable season. He finished as medalist in every dual and triangular match he took part in. He averaged even par (36.0) at home and had a 37.3 season average. For the second straight year he took medalist honors in the Conference, shooting a 73. His first round of 32 set new Conference and school records. At the District at Johnson City, Chris shot a 79. good enough to qualify him for the Sectional. At the Sectional match, held at Edwardsville, he narrowly missed advancing further in the competition, again shooting a 79. Thus, Chris ended his extremely successful golf career at CHS. Mark Granger, another senior, also had a good season. Mark had an average of 45.5 for the year. He had a clutch performance at the Conference match, shooting an 86. Hopefully future teams will continue CHS s supremacy over the Conference in golf. Volleyba Front Row: Joan Amschler. Lynn Gerberding, Beth Ludwig Sandy Lutz Ruth Stallman. Peggy Malott, Lori Welge.

At the District, held at Sparta, the Jackets failed to live up to their top seeding. They lost to Sparta in the semifinals, after drawing a bye in the first round. The JV ended their season with a 12-4 record. Regular starters on the team were Beth Ludwig, Sandy Lutz, Lynn Gerberding, Caroline Kester, Lori Welge, and Patty Malott.

David Cowell. Mike Liefer. Scott Wilson: Back Row: Coach Burk Brian Carlton. David Reid. Bill Lynn. For the first year in a long time, the cross country team had a winning season. The success of the team was due to a balanced attack with Carlton. Melchers. and Wilson each placing high in most meets. Even before the meets started, the Jackets showed their desire and dedication. Even though Coach Burk wasn t hired until a few days before the first meet, the Jacket runners started running in August, before school started. They continued practicing after school, going through workouts on their own. When Coach Burk arrived, he found them in good shape. But just being in good shape didn't satisfy the new coach. He stepped up the harriers training, sending them out to run sixteen miles sometimes and even holding several practices after meets. The extra workouts were worth it. The Jackets beat their first six opponents. They ended the season with a 9-8 record. However, two of those defeats were by a single point. The Jackets took third in the Conference, fourth in the Okawville Invitational, and seventh in the Anna Invitational. David Melchers won a trophy at Okawville for placing 7th out of a field of 54 runners. Brian Carlton finished 20th out of 82 runners at the District, qualifying him for the Sectional. Also placing high were Wilson and Melchers. coming in 22nd and 28th respectively. At the Sectional meet, Carlton finished 47th out of I 12 runners. With all their top runners returning, the cross country team looks forward to an even more successful season next year. 114 Parents' Night Parents Night is an evening set aside each football and basketball season to honor the parents ot the senior players and cheerleaders.

David Reid Mark b ie Pictured: Managers Greg Hays and Quentin Barnes For only the second time in the last fifteen years, the varsity basketball team had a winning season. Under the direction of new Head Coach Steve Burk, the Jackets played up to their full potential in almost every game. During the regular season, the Jackets could manage only a 9-9 record. However, two of these defeats were by only two points: one loss went into overtime. The Jacket cagers played their best ball in tournaments. They finished with a 7-3 record playing in three tournaments this season. At the Freeburg Holiday tournament, the Jackets downed Marissa and Wesclm. They were edged out of the finals by Venice. They fell behind the Red Devils by 16 points before staging a heroic comeback. only to fall short by three. 62-65. Chester mauled host Freeburg 85-65 to take third place in the tournament. Scott Bridges was voted to the ten man all-tournament team. Hosting the Chester Invitational, the Jackets routed Valle 71 -42 and then won a double-overtime thriller over highly-touted Gorham. In the championship game. Chester came out cold, and fell behind undefeated New Athens 18-6 in the first quarter. The Jackets closed to within five in the final quarter, but ended up losing 49-60 and taking second place in the tournament. Chris Jones was selected to the five man all-tournament team. At the Regional tournament held at Pinckney-ville. the Jackets breezed by Trico 73-67 and relied on 84% free throw shooting to squeak past Steele-ville 60-57. In the final, Chester was outscored by Pinckneyville by eight points in the first half. Trouble with the scoreboard delayed the start of the second half for twenty-five minutes. Play resumed in the second half without a scoreboard or official clock. The Jackets rallied to take the lead in the fourth quarter, only to see the game slip through their hands in the closing seconds. The Jackets finished fourth in the S.W.E. Conference (after being picked in the pre-season poll to end tied for second to last[with a 5-9 record. Scott Bridges and Chris Jones were both named to the ten man All Conference team. Scott was also selected to the All-Southern Illinois team. Chester finished the season with an overall record of 16-12, having an unbelievable I 1-2 record out of the Conference. Hopefully, with three starters and six substitutes from this year’s team returning, Chester fans can look forward to another successful season next year. 78-79 Schedule CHS OPP Trico W 65 53 Steeleville W 77 63 Pinckneyville L 47 49 Murphysboro L 65 78 Nashville L 65 102 Anna W 50 48 Marissa W 64 52 Wesclin w 53 46 Venice L 62 65 Freeburg W 85 65 Sparta W 59 57 Valle W 71 42 Gorham W 55 52 New Athens L 49 60 DuQuoin W 74 64 Pinckneyville L 56 77 Murphysboro L 60 82 Columbia W 84 57 Anna L 54 61 Carlyle W 76 74 DuQuoin L 74 76 Trico W 69 48 Nashville L 58 76 Carlyle L 58 77 Sparta W 63 54 Trico W 73 67 Steeleville W 60 57 Pinckneyville L 54 58 Season Statistics player fg fga % ft fta % pts avg reb avg asst steals fouls Jones 168 293 57 138 184 75 474 16.9 143 5.1 41 44 70 Bridges 180 362 50 75 94 80 435 15.5 172 6.1 126 70 51 A.

The Jackets did surprisingly well in several large meets in which they competed. At the Red Bud Invitational, the Jackets won a trophy for finishing fourth out of fifteen teams. David Melchers set a new meet record of 2:01.3 seconds, taking a first place in the 880 yard run. Bill Farmer took first in the 120 high hurdles and second in the 330 low hurdles. Alex Melchers threw the discus I 3 l'4 , placing second in that event. With three Jackets participating in the Nashville pentathlon, Chester won the first place team trophy. Bill Farmer finished second overall, winning the 200 meter dash and accumulating 2429 points. Alex Melchers finished third overall, taking first place in the shot put and ending up with 2388 points. John Cowan placed high in four of the five events and finished fourth overall with a score of 238 I. Chester placed fourth in the Conference meet held at Murphysboro. David Melchers took second places in both the 880 and the mile run. Brian Carlton set a new school record of 10:29.0 in the two mile run, finishing in second place. Alex Melchers also set a school record, putting the shot 45,8 for second place in that event. 3 I. Bill Farmer takes a first in the hurdles: 2. Mike Sentsch ready to start the 440 relay; 3. Ale Mel-chers puts the shot; 4. Bill Lynn completes the first lap in the 880 yard run. At the DuQuoin Classic, the Jackets finished fifth out of the seventeen teams participating. John Cowan took the only first place for Chester, winning the heavy 100 yard dash. Brian Carlton finished second in the two mile run; David Melchers took second in the 880; the two mile relay team (Brian Carlton, Brad Thomas, Bill Tilley, and David Melchers) also finished second. At the Class A District meet held at Red Bud, Chester finished sixth out of eighteen teams and qualified two people for State competition. Alex Melchers took a first place in the discus with a throw of I 32'3 . David Melchers broke the District record in the 880, running it in 2:00.4, but was beat out of first place by two-tenths of a second. Also placing were Bill Farmer in the low and high hurdles and the mile relay team. Although Chester qualified people in six events in the Carbondale Meet of Champions, only one Jacket placed. David Melchers took fourth in the 880 yard run. Both David and Alex Melchers were eliminated in the preliminaries at the State meet at Charleston. With only three members of this year's team graduating, the future of the boys' track team looks promising. 129 What Is an Average Day of Track Practice REALLY Like? Everyone starts out by getting dressed. This is harder than it appears to be. for all dread . . . what is to come. ► Stretching loosens up stiff, sore muscles, hopefully preventing injuries. Some people, however, overdo it a bit. When everyone is nice and loose, it's time to hit the road ' for two. five, or maybe even ten miles of running on the County Farm road. Then, it's down to the track for some sprints, usually about four or five more than the runners think they need. Only courageous runners tackle the terraces. This tortuous drill is used primarily for long distance training. Everyone then works on his individual event, Finally, another hard track practice comes to an end; all the runners perfecting his form and improving his time make their way up to the locker room to take their showers, or distance. 131 Coach? That is what an average track practice is like, isn’t it? 79 Schedule David Melchers clears the bar in the high jump.

Coach Evelyn Kelkhoff The girls' track team wasn't too successful in the regular season, finishing with a 2-9 record in dual and triangular meets. The girls failed to perform up to their potential at the Conference meet, taking seventh. However, there were several excellent individual performances throughout the course of the season. New school records were set in six events. Cathy Runge and Julie Rucker each helped break three of these records. The highlight of the season was at the District meet. There, Cathy Runge took second place in the high jump, qualifying her for the State meet. Cathy was the first girl from CHS to qualify for State competition in any sport. At the State meet, Cathy cleared 5'2 , just one inch short of qualifying her for the finals. Only twelve girls in the state were able to clear the qualifying height. Hopefully, after losing just four seniors, the girls track team will have a successful seasort next year.

A coach teaches more than just the basic fundamentals of a sport; he helps to instill such qualities as character, leadership, perseverance, and sportsmanship in his players. A special thanks is in order to the coaches Tor making the athletes who participate in the sports program better people, not just in sports, but also in everyday life.
