UdsM adv ifcwfo a W ,yv My rnim UM ' . SUMMIT 1982 Volume 50 Chester High School Chester, Illinois “The more things seem to change, the more they tend to remain the same.” As you can see by paging through this book, we are observing the 50th Anniversary of The Summit. We have enjoyed looking through past yearbooks in our efforts to collect information for this year’s Summit. Through the years, both our school and our yearbooks have changed. Still, we realized in our research that, as the adage points out, the basic purposes of both have remained the same. We’re proud of the past accomplishments of everyone involved at C.H.S. — the teams, organizations, faculty and students! We wish continued — and even greater — success to C.H.S. as it approaches its 100th Anniversary in 1985. In closing we’d like U) thank the following people who have made this book possible: Mrs! OTrmnor, Toi ou ssistance ugge dns m ndpa- tience. They have Mrs. Cgge, for so graciously offering to step in for Mrs. O’Connor during her absence the first semester; Mr. l ira Buss, the Herald Tribune, Mrs. Mary Stallman and the Chester Public Library for the pictures you have provided; Mr. Bill Blewett and Taylor Publishing Company, for your guidance and understanding w hile working with us; Mr. John Schirmer, for lettering our “invitation;” The Administration and Faculty for your cooperation, understanding and patience with our activities; And, finally, the Student Body, for without you, we'd have no yearbook.

Bauersachs, Superintendent of Schools, who died February 2, 1982. Mr. Bauersachs was born in Orient, Illinois, on September 26, 1926, the son of Rudolph and Florence Gass Bauersachs. He married Verna Bigham in Pinckneyville on August 30, 1946. He and his family moved to Chester in 1977 from Cuba, Illinois, where he had been Superintendent of Schools for six years. A veteran of World War II, Mr. Bauersachs had worked in the field of education for 34 years. He was a member of the American Association of School Administrators, the Illinois Association of School Administrators, and past president and historian of Phi Delta Kappa. His contributions to our school and community are not easily measured, but they have unquestionably enriched the lives of the students and faculty alike. Mr. Bauersachs was always one ready to lend a helping hand. His smiling face and encouraging words will be missed in the halls of C.H.S. The Chester Bridge, rebuilt in 1946 after being blown down by a tornado in 1944. These are but a few of the many changes and improvements that have taken place in Chester during the last 50 years.

Not only does it serve as a reminder of each school year, but it helps teach the students involved about graphics, design, and the technical aspects of printing. This summer, some of the staff members attended a three day workshop at SIU-C which was sponsored by the Southern Illinois School Press Association. During the workshop, students learned about photography, lay-out, and many other aspects of putting together a yearbook. The staff sells advertising to help defray the yearbook’s production costs. In addition to this, the students hold a carnation sale each Valentine’s Day. However, the majority of the yearbook’s production costs is recovered through the money students pay for the copies they buy. It is the Summit staff s intent to create a document with which students can remember their high school years. 42 cn Summit w Section Heads Front Row: Tammi Childers, Lori Welge, Zina Decker, Cheryl Wilson, Maria Reiss, Nancy Cowan, Caroline Kester, Susan Korando. 2nd Row: Heather Laudan, Gina Fey, Lorraine Yu, Lyle Kipp, Scott Huch.

Since we were doing a lot of looking through the old yearbooks for the Golden Anniversary edition in the first place, we saw that it would have been a shame to let all that research go to waste — thus, here is our end result. In our quest, we drew upon a number of sources (which will be acknowledged later) to fill the gaps in what we knew. Although the information had always been there for anyone with the inclination or time to do all the length) research involved, we have succeeded in putting together what we believe is the definitive work on CHS histor) through the summer of 1982. Although we drew primarily upon the C HS Summits of 1932-1981. we used other sources to back up and verify what we found to be, at times, poorly researched facts. However, in several cases, we, for lack of an alternative, decided it was safe to assume that the staffs of yesterday had the resources at hand to report events which our research could barel) find mention of 1858 Chester citizens built their “Big Brick school and public education in C hester began The building was located at the end of Market Street, where Chester Industrial Contractors is presently located It was known to all as the “Pride of Southern Illinois. 1873 The first Board of Education was organized on August 19. 1873. after being elected on April 5 of that year. To this time, school records arc incomplete, but after 1873, records have been preserved. 1882 As the result of twenty-four years of development, the Pride of Southern Illinois became a two-story w ing of a new three story building With this addition. a three-year high school curriculum was added and the traditions of Chester High School began The new building, called the Central School Building, was described in Combined History of Randolph. Monroe and Perry Counties. Illinois, published in 1883: “The present school is a graded one. including a high school department, and has one of the finest school buildings in Southern Illinois. The township now contains three schools and 1051 children of school age .. 1885 On Monday. June I. 1885. Chester High School sent forth its first graduating class, containing 8 people 1904 A third wing was added to the school building, and thus it reached its maturity. With the added space, the high school curriculum was expanded to four years. 1905 The senior class the first eight people to attend Chester High School for four years published what is. to our knowledge, the first yearbook It was named the Reveille or “The Awakening’ and was edited by George Dickson 1906 The second and apparently final edition of the Reveille was published (This was reported in the 1940 Summit but has not been confirmed by any other source.) 1909 Track and field meets began after a group of twelve men, nicknamed the “Dirty Dozen,” formed the first track team and the first sport at Chester High School. 1910 Basketball was started in Chester High The team, traveling entirely by train, competed with Pinckncyvillc. Stcclcvillc. Sparta, and DuQuoin All of the team’s games were played out of doors with the exception of the DuQuoin game which was played on an indoor court. 1921 CHS formed its first orchestra under the direction of Professor Todd These thirteen people had enough musical interest to form this group for students playing instruments. 1922 On March 16. a new gymnasium was completed as an addition to the Central School Building 1923 The boys glee club, an octet, was formed under the direction of C. Cooper Groves, becoming the first vocal music group we have found at CHS On October 13. the Yellow Jackets played their first game in the football history of Chester High School. The 17-mcmbcr team, coached by E. S Brown, ended their season with two victories and five defeats. 1924 The first edition of the Summit, a 74-page, soft cover book, was published by the senior class. 1925 Most records indicate the second Summit was published in this year However, one source indicated that the year may have been 1926. 1926 In 1924. a movement was started to hold high school classes in a separate building As a result, construction of the present high school building at 1901 Swanwick Street was begun in 1925. In 1926, construction of the “old building” with the exception of the gymnasium, was completed and the class of '27 was the first to graduate from the new facility. 1927 The Chester High School Chorus was organized under the direction of Miss Ophelia Hack, who was interested in choral work and started the organization with the idea of furthering educational music and group singing 1928 The C B Cole Memorial I ibrary, better known as the Chester Public Library was dedicated on April 22. 1929 I or many years it was customary for the various CHS organizations and classes to present plays for the public’s entertainment. This increasing interest in drama lea an active group of students in 1929 to organize the first Dramatic Club under the direction of Miss Mary Carlyle 44 otherwise. Therefore, we owe a debt of gratitude to all the staffs of the past Summits for giving us the most valuable research tool of all: a first-hand account. We must especially thank the staff of the 1940 Summit who compiled excellent histories of each organization at CHS at that time, aiding us immensely. It is our hops that this work will be used as a foundation (or at least a stepping stone) for future research into the history of Chester High School. We believe that the information it contains is true beyond reasonable doubt. This is why a copy of this work has been enclosed in a time capsule buried during Popeve’s Picnic in September of 1982. Hopefully, when the capsule is opened in 2082, our history will spark an interest in someone to compile another history to commemorate the bicentennial (1882-2082) of ( IIS founding. We can only hope that someone will do this. They should — we ve given them the first one hundred years to go on. A Student Board of Control, the forerunner of the Student Council, was organized at Chester High School. The high school principal, Mr I . V. Kruts-ingcr. acted as chairman or leader of the group. 1930 The Rip and Dip Home Economics Club was organized under the leadership of Miss Way land, the home economics teacher The membership of this club was limited to girls who had participated in 4-H club work or had taken home cc. courses An enthusiastic cheering group of girls organized to form Chester High School’s first pep club, called the Ycowlers. 1931 An agriculture curriculum was introduced into Chester High School under the supervision of L. L. Colvis and the Future Farmers of America club was formed 1932 Mrs I reida Duncan was employed as a music teacher and became the first band director at CHS. This first band contained twelve members, only seven of them being regular The instruments included one clarinet, one trumpet, one snare drum, and two or three other instruments. The Physical Education Carnival in the spring of 1932 marked the beginning of the physical education classes at CHS The carnival included crow ning a May Queen in a beautifully decorated gymnasium at the grade school The third edition of the Summit was printed This publication began the annual yearbook issuance which has remained continuous since then. 1933 Engraving appears for the first time in the Summit Also.this was the first year there was a Summit staff recognized in the yearbook A Thespian club was formed as part of the international Thespian Society Being an honor society, membership was granted for work in the performing arts. 1934 Work on the Chester High School bowl ended in the spring of this year The project had been started on December 14. 1933. only a lew months earlier by thcC W A CHS reports its best football record since the football team was organized in 1923. The final record in 1934 was 6-3-1. 1935 CHS celebrated the 50th anniversary of its first graduating class. 1936 The addition of the first (girls’) gymnasium to Chester High School, built by the Public W orks Administration, was a much larger addition than originally planned when the building was built The building of the gym had to be postponed due to insufficient funds in 1925.

Eleven CHS students participated in the contest, either as part of an ensemble or with a solo. All but a few of the entrants did very well, receiving first place awards. Several of the participants received perfect ratings of “7.” The students prepared during chorus period and after school for many weeks preceding the contest. Just before the contest, each participant sang his or her solo in front of the chorus to gain experience in singing before a group. L to R: Elanna Shaffer, Rita Miller, Becky McCain, Carla Almond.

Music Festival In the fall of 1981, four CHS students traveled to SIU-E for the Illinois Music Educators’ Association District VI All-State Music Festival. These four joined students from other southern Illinois high schools in practicing a set of pre-selected songs during the day and performing a concert that evening. Selections included “American Trilogy” and “Almighty God of Our Fathers.” Prior to the festival, Beth Gentsch and Scott Huch auditioned at Kaskaskia Community College in Centralia for the chance to participate in the IMEA Statewide festival. Scott was chosen to sing in the All-State Honors Chorus as a Tenor-II. The 1982 All-State Concert was held in Springfield on February 7 after five months of preparation. The concert was the culmination of three days’ final practice. L to R: Lyle Kipp, Alccia Wittenbrink, Beth Gentsch. Not Pictured: Scott Huch.

The Sting, CHS’ newspaper, then prints these prophecies along with the seniors’ Last Will and Testament in a special edition. Although the prophecies are mainly written for their comic value, they usually reflect inside jokes (and some that aren’t so inside) about students, and memories of zany things that they did while in high school. The writers do not expect the prophecies to come true, but years from now, they will serve to evoke memories of the high school years which might other- wise, with time, have been forgotten. Fifty years from now, a future Summit staff, in preparing their centennial edition, will no doubt look these prophecies over and chuckle at the mention of the more notable current events figures; however, most of it will go right over their heads. Hopefully, though, the subtle meanings behind each prophecy will still bring the class of 1982 back to its high school years. On the following pages, then, is the prophecy of the class of 1982. We think that in twenty years, it will no doubt be three of the most important pages in this book. Bill Abernathy is now head coach of the Green Bay Packers with Coach Flowers as his assistant.

With congratulatory remarks, subjective reminisces, a decorative scroll, and hearty handshakes, they were propelled into the “real world, as those who'vc gone before them like to call it. For some of the 108, their formal education had ended. For others, entrance into a college, university, or technical school was to follow; still others were planning entrance into the U.S. Armed Services. But no matter what their course or calling in life, the one message that was stressed to each and every graduate was that learning would never end until they had drawn their last breath. Not every 1982 graduate will remember how to extract a square root, circumscribe a triangle, speak French, or diagram a sentence in fifty years, five years, or even in one year, but it is hoped that none of them will ever forget how to absorb knowledge through learning. If the class of 1982 continues to learn from experience throughout their lives, then twelve years of work by dedicated educators will not have been in vain. 1. Shelly and Darlene are just two of the enthusiastic graduates. 2. Karen and Beth are excited about future prospects. 3.

Varsity Cheerleaders This year’s varsity squad had no trouble keeping up the fans’ spirits, particularly during our winning football season. Last summer these girls traveled to SIU-C to attend a one-week United Cheerleaders Association cheerleading camp. Armed with the many new cheers they learned and with the help of their sponsor Ms. Kelly, this group livened the sidelines of our sports events. The cheerleaders provide moral support to the players and lead the fans in cheering on Chester’s athletes. The squad is a vital part of CHS’ athletic events.

Only two girls from last year’s squad returned to the junior varsity cheerleading squad this year. This meant that four new girls had to be trained. The squad traveled to SIU-C for a cheerleading camp sponsored by the United Cheerleaders Association. Here, the girls, along with cheerleaders from squads all over southern Illinois, attended training sessions where they learned new cheers and were helped with gymnastics. The J.V. squad returned to Chester with more experience under its belt, and the girls had no trouble keeping the fans fired up during the year’s football games, basketball games, and pep rallies. 87 Varsity Front Row: John Wingerter, Don Brant, Doug Cress, David Randolph, Tom Yankcy, David Lochhcad, Scott Grott, Butch Pernia, Jeff Oswald. 2nd Row: Coach Don Flowers, Barry Greer, Steve Clark, Scott Macs, Ron Schweizer, Ron Williams, Todd McClure, Jim Kennedy, Terry Strong, David McDonald, Coach Kevin Collier. 3rd Row: Coach Steve Davenport, John Welge, Cliff Niemeyer, Ken Turner, Brett Klindworth, Bryce Hill, David Ludwig, Bill Abernathy, Mark Kerkhover, Joe Cowan, Ron Burke, Gregg Thurau. This year’s football season ended with 6 wins and 3 losses. The offense was led on the ground by junior Ron Williams and through the air by senior quarterback Tom Yankey. Williams rushed for 714 grueling yards, while his counterparts John Welge and David Ludwig gained 285 and 189 yards respectively. Tom Yankey maintained a 44.8% passing percentage as he threw for 716 yards and 6 touchdowns with 8 interceptions on the year. His prime targets were Steve Clark, who caught 10 passes for 274 yards and 3 TDs and John Welge who caught 15 passes for 211 yards and 1 TD. Senior placekicker Brett Klindworth converted 13 extra points on the season. Chester’s defense held their opponents to 1,720 yards for the season. The Jackets recovered 18 fumbles, intercepted 15 passes, and sacked their opponents 18 times on the year. Scott Maes led the defense with 128 total tackles, 5 fumble recoveries, 2 interceptions, and 2 sacks. He received help from David Ludwig, who had 102 total tackles, 3 fumble recoveries and 4 interceptions. Bill Abernathy and Jim Kennedy led the team in sacks with 6 and 4 respectively. The team’s outstanding year was reflected by the selection of 7 CHS players to the All-Conference teams. MVP John Welge, John Wingerter, and Steve Clark were named to the first team while Scott Maes, Bill Abernathy, Dave McDonald, and Ron Williams were named to the second team.

Coach Gayton. Although this was only their first year of participation, the freshman football team did considerably well. Starting the year with little experience, the freshman jackets went on to finish the season with a record of 4-3. There were several standout performances by team members this year. Notably, David Uffleman averaged 7.3 yards per rush, and Chris Gaertner’s average rush was 4.2 yards. On defense, Greg Barnhart led the entire team in tackles. There were many good prospects on this year’s freshman team to help make a winning J.V. team next year. 91 JM 92 93 Varsity Front Row: Sherry Neislein, Christy Holzum, Jan James, Wendy Roth, Ruth Heldebrandt. 2nd Row: Gina Fey, Karen Misselhorn, Alecia Wittenbrink, Caroline Kester, Carol Hopkins, Lori Welge, Joan Amschlcr, Coach Chris Urquhart. This year’s team saw the return of two varsity starters. The other four starters came up from the junior varsity level. The Lady Jackets started their season at the Third Annual Prep Preview Tourney held at S.I.U.-Carbondale. In the first round the Jackets faced a tough Belleville Althoff team and were downed in two games. In the third round, the girls faced a team a little closer to home, the Anna Wildcats. The Lady Jackets took them into three games before they again fell due to the tough defensive team. Later in the year they met the Wildcats again, and defeated Anna for the first time ever. Although the girls’ season record was only 9-12, they had many personal ac- complishments. Carol Hopkins was selected to the Southwest Egyptian All-Conference team. Hopkins set a new school record by attempting 303 spikes and scoring on 126 of them for a 42% “kill efficiency.” She served 176 times with 58 aces. Caroline Kester was also selected to the All-Conference team for the second year in a row. She attempted 203 spikes with 84 “kills” and ranked second in offense. Her 42% efficiency tied her with Hopkins for the team high. She served 168 times with 44 aces and was team leader in dinks. She also had 12 blocks on the opposition. Volleyball Joan Amschlcr (22) spikes as Carol Hopkins (12) watches.

These girls compiled an impressive season record of 18 wins and only 1 loss, that being to Nashville. With this talented group moving up to the varsity level next year, the team should be tough competition for the district title. Next year’s J.V. squad looks impressive too, with nine returning girls to fill the vacated positions. Front Row: Stacey Ward, Kelly Gregory, Trisha Moeller.

With the loss of two key players from the girls’ varsity basketball team, they still managed to clinch four victories. They defeated the Tamaroa Indians in the first round of the play-offs but were then defeated by the Coulterville Eagles in their second game. Lorraine Yu was selected to the Sparta Invitational All-Tournament team and had 39 assists and 52 steals on the season. Karen Misselhorn led the team with 286 points and 189 rebounds and had a team leading accuracy of 59% in the free throw category. 98 Basketball Front Row: Coach Diane Woods. Cheryl Wilson.

Junior Varsity The JV girls basketball team, also coached by Mr. Flowers and Ms. Woods, suffered a disappointing season, ending the year with an overall record of 5-13. The potential of some bright prospects for next year’s varsity team was revealed, however. Juniors Cheryl Wilson and Jackie Link led the team in scoring, and Jan James led in rebounds. 99 Varsity Hampered by a lack of experience, this year’s team finished with a record of 1-23 for the season and 0-14 in the conference. The team consisted of only four seniors, thus giving its underclassmen members the opportunity to gain valuable experience. The team was hindered by poor shooting, averaging only 38% from the field, as well as averaging 15 turnovers per game. A bright spot in next year’s line-up will be the return of this year’s MVP, junior Mark Kerkhover. Although their record was not impressive, their determination was.

Junior Varsity The junior varsity team was coached this year by a new faculty member, Mr. Frank Gayton. Unfortunately, even with a new coach, the squad fell into its old ways, losing several close games and ending the season with a record of 2 and 15. One good prospect for next year’s varsity team was junior Kevin Hobeck. Kevin led the team in scoring, despite the fact that he was incapacitated for part of the year with a broken arm.

Julie Miller gives her mom a hug. Parents’ Night is traditionally held on the last home game of the season. The boys present their mothers with a rose and a kiss and shake their fathers’ hands. The girls also give their mothers the rose and kiss, but greet their fathers with a kiss instead of a handshake. Parents’ Night is the culmination of an athlete’s high school career and it is the first of many thank-yous to come in the last hectic months of high school. Leland Dierks presents his mother with a rose as a line of proud parents and students looks on. Nights cn Summit w Mr. Woltcr Wclgc watches proudly as his daughter Lori gives the rose to her mother.

Many outstanding individual efforts did brighten the otherwise disappointing season, however. Foremost among these was the performance of senior Brad Thomas in the 110 high hurdles and the 300 low hurdles. After easily winning both events at the district meet. Brad advanced to the Class A state meet where he placed second in the highs and third in the lows. With a season best of 14.47 in the highs. Brad shaved off .04 seconds from the school record he set just last year. In recognition of his achievements, he was named to the Southern Illinois Coaches Assoc. 1982 All-South track team and the state team in both events. Sophomore Cliff Andrews also advanced to the state meet for his outstanding performance in the 3200 run at the district level. Although he didn’t place at state, he is a bright prospect for the next two seasons. Excellent times were also turned in by both the 400 and the 800 meter relay teams. In fact, the 800 team narrowly missed representing Chester in a fourth event at the state meet.

The officers chose 3 styles and the class voted on the style they wanted. Each person was left to choose his own setting. Another highlight of the year was the selling of the Yellow-Jacket jackets. There were four styles and two colors available. Junior Class Officers Junior Class Sponsors Mr. Await and Mrs. Pautler Rhonda Wagner. Pres.; Suzy Welge, V.

It wasn't easy, but after 30 hours of classroom instruction and 6 hours of nervewracking instruction in the driver’s ed. car, the students were hopefully ready to take their final test. The Sophomores also won second place for their homecoming float. Sherri Bierman, Sec.; Kelly Gregory, V. Pres,; JoAnn Gross, Pres.; Trisha Moeller, Treas.

They started their year with orientation day, when they saw their first views of the building. Another highlight was their trip to the Baldwin Power Plant, where they learned how electricity is made. They also participated in the homecoming activities. But by now the school doesn’t seem so large and they are looking forward to becoming Sophomores.

However, as the book’s newness wears off and they begin to look at pages other than those with pictures of themselves or their friends, they’ll notice the patrons and the contributions they’ve made toward the publication of this yearbook. A considerable amount of the Summit’s tremendous production costs is covered by the revenue received from the patrons. These funds help pay for printing, supplies, and photography expenses, in addition to allowing the staff to use more special effects and include more color pages in our yearbooks. Few people realize the extent of the patron’s support in preparing this document. The Summit staff does, however, and would like to thank each and every patron who helped to make this 1982 anniversary Summit possible.

The purpose of the index is to aid students in finding pictures of themselves and their friends more quickly and easily. The staffs policy in listing the pages on which students appear has been to indicate each page where a picture appeared with an identifiable student in it. In photographs (such as pictures of basketball games) where the sheer size of the crowd made it unfeasible to include every single identifiable person, we have attempted to index only those who were an integral part of the picture. We have tried to be as thorough as possible in indexing the more than 450 CHS students appearing this year. We hope to have found and corrected all our errors, but if any slipped by, we apologize and hope that our readers will understand that these were not intentional. A Abernathy, Christie 159.

To our knowledge, the first yearbook as such was published by the students of Chester High School in 1905. Named the Reveille or “The Awakening, a copy was recently discovered in a box of artifacts from the class of 1905 presented to the high school by Mrs. Jessie Lee Gant liuffstutlcr in 1967. The editor of this book was George Lewis Dickson, son of the superintendent James M. Dickson. It is believed that one other Reveille was published in 1906, but we haven't been able to discover if this book was actually published or if there were anymore Reveilles after 1906. The only publication we are aware of from the time of the Reveille to 1924 was a newspaper, the Orange and Black, published during the '21-'22 school year. In 1924, the first Summit was published. The following year the second Summit was apparently published, although one source indicated the second volume was actually a 1926 edition. After the second volume, the Summit was discontinued for lack of financial support, and a newspaper took its place. In Lg32, the third Summit was published, and publication has been continuous ever since. It was not until 1933, however, that the Summit came into its own as the book we know today. In that year, engraving was first used in the printing process. Also, 1933 is the first year a Summit staff is mentioned. From 1942 until 1967, the Summit was not numbered by volume. In 1968, when the staff again started numbering each edition, the annual was called volume 36 — a difference of three volumes. We are unsure why the 1968 annual was not numbered volume 39, but we leel the staff of that year may have chosen to use editorial license, consider the first three Summits of a different series, and renumber the volumes from the 1933 Summit until 1968 to arrive at volume 36. It is also possible, though unlikely, that it was thought the Summit was not published in thre years. However, we have obtained a copy of ever Summit from 1932 through 1981 and know this not t be true. Whatever their reasons, tins is the number in system wc use today. Wc on the 1982 staff feel th. the 1933 edition did mark a new era for the Sumnu and with this edition wc honor all those who've mair tained the high standards of the Summit for 5 volumes. However, we also pay homage to every CH student who. during the first fifty years after CH' founding, 1882-1932. helped preserve the traditioi and accomplishments of Chester High School in prin and we thank them for helping to lay the grounawor upon which today's Golden Anniversary Summit built. We feel the foreword to the 1934 Summit wt almost prophetic and is very fitting for this occasioi So with it, and considering the history of publicatiot at CHS as we know it, we bring to a close this cditic of our yearbook, the Summit. “On various occasion , graduating classes Chester High School have published annuals. 77� were the idea! Volumes of Memories . presenting pi lures of the students, the teachers, the school, at familiar scenes about the school. Written artich recalled recent activities and memorable incident The Student Body hailed every edition, expressit hopes that some day there would be a permane yearbook in C.H.S. Recent years have seen that ho renewed and encouraged. When the Summit of 1934' has maintained tl standards of it s predecessors, when it has qualified i a volume of Memories . then will it have achieved i purpose and proved worthy oj its name coW
