Class pistor? Four years ago a timorous, youthful, inquiring group of people left gladly, and thoughtlessly behind them a milestone on their path and approached, with eager footsteps the first stepping stone, to this another goal in their career. As Freshmen, the class of 1921 felt that Downers Grove High School would not for the next four years, lack energy and enthusiasm. Therefore, one morning soon after our advent into the halls of learning we timorously though eagerly mounted the platform and sang the Loyalty Song, which each had completely memorized. Throughout the year the Freshman played their part in entertaining the High School at Friday morning exercises. Our first year also marked the beginning of Mr. Feasley’s principalship. where for two and one half years, his splendid guidance was felt by every member of the High School. The class was organized early in the year with Hubert Bcbb as President and Miss Harris as advisor. Several class parties as well as several for the entire High School were given by the “Froshs”. Our boys met the usual amount of hazing at the hands of the Juniors and Seniors but that did not spoil their good time. They turned their collars inside out, washed their faces and kept on smiling. In September of 1918 we entered as Sophomores. This year found us some- what reduced as to numbers.but quality never lacking. Our class president at this time was Arthur Mills and Miss Smith our advisor. As “Sophs” we were more socially inclined and gave a number of parties. Under Miss Trott’s able direction a Latin Club was formed and most of the Sophomores joined. This organization still exists and is a source of pleasure to all who participate. One record of our Sophomore year of which we are very proud is the fact that in our Athletic Association dues we were 100%. In our Junior year we organized our class with Arthur Tylor as President and Miss Harris advisor once more. Again we “came to the front”, and gave a play', “Hicks at College”, coached by Miss Frances Hughes, for the benefit of the Cauldron. This was the first Junior Play ever given in this High School and was voted an entire success. Another important event in a Junior’s life is the Junior-Senior Banquet and ours was no exception. Under the efficient management of Miss Harris and her staff of workers a banquet was given which showed the ability and worth of the class of 1921. This was not the only banquet, however. The Basketball Banquet a few weeks later was enjoyed by the entire school and was one of the most enjoyable events of the year. Entering High School in the fall of 1920, as dignified Seniors, we elected Arthur Tylor, President; Elizabeth Shaffer, Vice-President; and Kathryn Davis, Secretary' and Treasurer. This time Miss Goodspecd was our advisor. Not to be outdone by the class of ’20 we decided to publish an annual and by hard labor and unceasing efforts, have at last gained our goal. In April, a Senior Play, “The Amazons” under the direction of Miss Goodspecd, was staged. This was Mr. Snapp’s and Mr.Vernon’s first year with us; the acquaintanceship of both we have thoroughly enjoyed. Mr. Butler was Superintendent for most of us during our entire school career with the exception of the last year. This marks the close of our history as a class. But these four years spent together cannot be forgotten by any member of the class of ’21. We go out to various places and manners of living. But the influence of our school life goes with us—the influence not only that our classmates have had upon us but that with which our teachers have enveloped us. Elma Kelly Pagf 19
