('LASS II I S T () R Y It was a great day for us when we first entered the portals of Downers Grove High School to begin our four years apprenticeship for college, or for the great wide world. We were about eighty strong, green as grass, and greatly awed by this business of studying, reciting, and being chased by upper classmen. However, nothing tragic occurred and we grew courageous enough to hold our first class meeting, at which the following officers were elected: Douglas Huntington, President, Grace Bailey, Social Chairman, and Clara Rogers, Secretary and Treas- urer. Laboring under the great difficulties of Freshmen, we entered into all activities, and our boys began to shine in athletics. We put on two very successful parties that year, and had delightful times, despite our freshness. In the fall of 'll we returned to resume our work, more confident, and extremely haughty when in the presence of Freshmen. Our leaders for this year were: Glenn Weatherbee. President, Evelyn Wolf, Vice-President, and Clara Rogers, Secretary and Treasurer. There was one lone party thrown by us during our second term. Its feature was a skit called the “Lion Tamers’ Club”. In the autumn of 1923 there were fifty-three proud Juniors strutting about the halls, directing Freshmen to their various nurseries. This happy year was spent with Arnold Klein, President, Douglas Huntington, Vice-President, James Twohey, Secretary, and Glenn Weat herbee, Treasurer. Kvcryone had a great time at our “hardtimes” party, for we all felt natural. “Stephen Steps Out ”, a movie, was given to finance the Junior-Senior Banquet, our pride and joy. The Banquet was put on at the School, April 26th, 1924. The colors of the Class of ’24, blue and gold, were used as decorations of the Banquet Hall. Mr. Her acted as toastmaster, and various members of the faculty and student body spoke. As soon as the food had been consumed, we repaired to the gym, and enjoyed one of the best dances of the year. The Seniors praised this Banquet highly, and we were proud of ourselves. Then came our last year. We felt greatly the added prestige and responsibility of Seniors. 'Flic class officers chosen were W ilbur Coleman, President, James Twohey, Vice-President, Earnest Wright, Secretary. Marian Harvey, Treasurer. The most important work of our Senior year was the publishing of the “Cauldron”. We elected a staff, and into their capable hands we turned over the “Cauldron” work, feeling that our final year was well started. W e were guilty of only one social event. On a clear, crisp night in October we ventured out into the country, roasted weenies in the bright embers of the camp fire, danced to the music of a wee phonograph, and had a general good time. Another movie was sponsored for the benefit of the “Cauldron”. It was “Potash and Pcrlmuttcr in Hollywood”, and our usual luck and success were evident. Our class ran the Homecoming Dance, and was successful again. The last two events of our school life were the play, “The Importance of Being Earnest”, and the Carnival. Dorothy Scott. Thirty
