SIX SKVK-V IN MEMORIAM EVERETT MICKEY 1913-1930 Beloved and respected member of the Class of 1931 FOREWORD i i i i w i In the pages which follow are recorded the outstanding events of the year upon which, in fu- ture years, we shall look with mingled joy and regret. We hope that you will for- give all such discrepancies as may occur and that you will de- rive from this Cauldron all the pleasurable memories which are connected with our school. NINE Mu V. . Henderson Mu X. K. Ani� kusi n- Mr. YV. I). Hkrrick Mu I . X. Davis Mrs. V. C. Barber THE BOARD OF EDUCATION In our well equipped school, we often do not think whose ideas and labors are behind it. That competent body, the Board of Education, functions silently hut not without conspicuous results. Although our school curriculum and equip- ment seemed complete, they were not satisfied. They have been constantly trying to improve them. This year they have added a teacher of public speaking, so that all students may have that necessary training, and a full-time director for the boys’ and girls’ choruses. They have also purchased a complete set of cafe- teria equipment which enables many students and teachers to have a hot lunch. As a result of their service and that of our superintendent, our school is con- sidered one of the finest in this section of the state. We sincerely appreciate their untiring efforts.

Forty-THREE AULDRON SENIOR CLASS HISTORY Early in the fall of 1927. four long years ago. a group of frightened, bewildered, but thrilled Freshmen waited upon the dock, awed by the sight of the large ship which was to carrv them out upon the sea of knowledge. For many vears we had waited for this day. trying to imagine the joy and glory of being Freshmen. Hut as we mounted the gangplank our dreams fell before us, for we experienced all the trials of being gobs. What little glory and joy we did find was soon suppressed by the upperclassmen, for we soon learned the gobs were just to be laughed at. We were not allowed to attend parties with the other passengers because we were only gobs, mere infants, and didn’t know how to act. In the middle of the year we were told to elect officers for our class. This was a very important affair, for it was the first meeting we had ever had. Herman Rrocker was elected first mate. Arthur Thomas, second mate, and Ardys Walter, third mate. Maryellyn Brown was chosen social rep- resentative for our class and succeeded in persuading the officers to allow us to have a little party of our own. After many months of travel on this rough sea our ship sailed toward home. We were to be in port for three months, free to roam about as we pleased. The best thing of all was that we would no longer be gobs for when we set sail again we would be one step higher in rank. Our three months in port went all too soon for we found ourselves mounting the gangplank for the second time. It was fun to shout and tease the gobs who were trying their best to do the proper things at the right time, just as we had done the vear before. Our second vovage proved to be much more fun than the first, for now we could attend parties and the officers began to realize that we weren’t as “voung” as they thought we were. What a difference three months makes! We elected Comad Chester as first mate. Eleanor Hoehn. sec- ond mate, and Eleanor Rerg, third mate. Ardys Walter was elected social rep- resentative for our class for our second year of travel. One of our duties was to make the gobs just as uncomfortable as we had been the first vear. We could hardly wait for the next year to come, for then we would be able to go to the Junior-Senior banquet, a much dreamed of occasion. To our surprise we found ourselves working day and part of the night planning for the grand affair. Perry Willits was elected first mate. John Eickemeyer. second mate, and Edna Marwitz. third mate, during our third year on board ship. Barbara Kel- logg was elected social representative for our class. After a full and successful year we returned to pen t once more before starting our fourth and last journey upon the sea of knowledge. How we looked forward to this journey: for we had reached the coveted goal which was our object four years ago. As we mounted the gangplank for the last time, little did we realize the wonderful things wlrch this year held in store for us. To start the year off right. Meade Frahkenfield was elected first mate. Ray Kellogg, second mate, and V irginia Smith, third mate. Ruth Barnard was elected our social representative. We soon began planning ways to make money, one of which was the Senior play. “The Goose Hangs High”, from which we realized a large profit. The year was full of exciting events, our boys and girls excelled in athletics, they also ranked high in scholarship. The carnival was a triumph, the best in years, and that made it possible for us to make our Cauldron the very best yet. The year went all too fast, for we soon found graduation day at hand, the day we would leave our ship which we had learned to love and honor. Well FORTY-FOUR THE CAULDRON do we realize as we complete our voyage that it was not only our own ambition and desires that enabled us to reach our goal, for we owe much of this success to our sturdy ship, the “D. G. H. S.”, its splendid Captain Her, and his efficient staff of officers. After a few months on shore, many of us hope to continue our voyage in quest of knowledge on other ships and stranger seas, which will carry us to various ports along life’s waterways. CLASS WILL We, the Class of 1931 of the Downers Grove High School, situated in the county of Du Page, the state of Illinois, in realization of the fact that we are about to walk through the valley of the shadow of life, declare this to be our last will and testament.

The first quarter of the game presented many opponents to the inexperienced players. The referees were Miss Frush, Mr. Montgomery, and Miss Munson. The cap- tain was Gordon Cavanagh. Other active members of the team besides Robert Bennett, halfback, were Rankin Kant and Helen llogan, tackles. In the carnival the team took over the candy booth in spite of the rules and regulations of a good team. When the team returned the following year for the second quarter, few of its members had been taken out of the game, and furthermore, the players were full of confidence. Therefore they began a great knife campaign to refill their empty treasury. At the end of the second quarter, or first half, the team had made a gain of forty-live yards because of their successful passing under Peggy Anderson, as captain. Margaret Frazier, halfback, and Robert Burns and Dorothy Kolar, tackles. The team was kept orderly under the guiding influence of the following referees: Miss Sheldon, Miss llennis, Mr. Wolfe, and Miss Howland. Then began the third quarter and last half of the game. The team was by this time an experienced one and its members worthy of becoming upperclassmen. As a new captain, Rankin Kaut was elected, with Elinor Curtiss as his assistant. .Valley Hall as halfback, and Mayta Palmer and Gordon Cavanagh as tackles. Miss Sheldon, Mr. Anderson, Miss Yates, and Mr. Johnson proved to be excellent referees, and in a magazine campaign put on in the beginning of the third quarter, several yards were gained for the team. The customary Junior-Senior prom scored another success in their favor, while their prominence in the carnival added to -their fame. Upon the conclusion of the third quarter, with only one more quarter, or school year, to play, it looks very much as though Downers Grove High School can expect a smashing victory from this present Junior Class, as it breaks all records in making its way down towards the goal, over and out into the world.

What the! thought I. is this the deluge? As quickly as 1 could. I hurried to the first floor and what a strange spectacle met my sight—Freshmen in the yard, in the hall, in the gym. in the cafeteria, in the sewing room, and even in the office upstairs. All told, there was the round number of 180 of the handsomest boys and the cutest girls that ever entered a Freshman Class. At first glance, they might have been taken for the third grade kiddies out for a picnic, but here and there, there loomed up a Lindbergh or a Gertrude Ederle, and taking them all together, they were truly a remarkable group. After due deliberation. Superintendent Her presented to this class the ad- visers: Miss Frush. Mr. Montgomery, and Miss Munson. He demonstrated his usual good judgment, as the class heartily approved, and it was genuinely sorry to lose them at the close of the year. Early in November the class officers were elected. Raymond Artabassy was elected president of the class; Hazel Easely, vice-president; Mary Johnson, sec- retary; Tom Slanec, treasurer; Virginia Prescott, social chairman. They all worked very well together. These officers, with the help of the advisers, staged an evening party. Nuts, candy, and punch were on the menu, and dancing was the amusement. Some of the Freshmen were bashful, but they were bound to get over that. At last came the second year. After much lobbying in the halls Dale Knarr was elected president; Ellis Saxton, secretary-treasurer; Helen Darnley, vice- president ; and John McAlpine, social chairman. Miss Brown, Miss Howland, and Miss North are the class sponsors. For their wit. beauty, and strength, allied with goodness, the class loves them. The officers and sponsors planned a wonderful party, a party where every Sophomore, short or tall, fat or thin, country or town lass and lad. dancing nymph or spinning top, shy or bold, had a wonderful time. There was food for the thin, liquids for the stout, dancing for the nymphs, games for the nimble, and cards for the sedate. Dale Knarr. ’33.

Let us look into the seething, ever-changing contents of this great mixing-bowl, and see if we can find some members of the class whom we recognize. Near the top Sally Baxter is seen and in her energetic way she is preparing plans for a class meeting, as she is the Freshmen’s choice for president. Lucille Lundgren, class secretary, is conferring with her upon some matter of importance to the class. Bob Iler, who, incidentally, is a member of the school social committee, and Marry Miller, who have made good as lightweight basketball players this year, are passing a basketball back and forth between them with a precision born of expert ability. Over in one corner Charles Burns and Billy Cramer, who have reputations as wise-crackers in school circles, are discussing something, which is undoubtedly the affairs of the United Bachelors Association, of which they are officers. A third member of this group is Ben Groves, who is class treasurer. Hubert Lacy is standing on his head and playing his cornet lustily. Music and tumbling seem to be his strong points. Frank Lack is standing on his hands, which he has placed on Hubert’s feet. He is a master tumbler. Another musician is Robert Younts, who, besides playing a cornet in the band, has the duties of the vice-president of the class. Alda Luebbe is telling Olive Carlson what the third principal part of the Latin verb terreo is, as she (Alda) is a very clever Latin student. Olive is not what one would call dumb, however. As Fred Patch and Lauren Sparks drift past we hear Fred ask where Lauren was at 8 last night. And Lauren responds. Oh, did 1 ever ask you anything like that?” Jack Dickinson and Robert W’orsley are discussing the latest model airplanes they have built. (W’orsley is doing most of the discussing.) Jack’s Lockheed Sidius models don't seem to be selling so well. Perhaps his affiliations with the Radio Club take up too much time. Our time is growing short, so we must content ourselves with one last look into the Freshmen’s part of the Cauldron. We see George Whitehead shouting scientific names for jellyfish. SIXTY-TWO THE CAULDRON ALUMNI In this section of the Cauldron it is our sincere wish to give recognition to the alumni who. during the past years, have made significant contributions in their respective fields, to renew old acquaintances, and to revive pleasant mem- ories.

Twas very plain she loved him, Although she heaved a sigh. She whispered “Moo” into his ear. He answered “Baa”; now laugh, For though it may seem strange to you. They were but cow and calf. He grunted in disgust to see This milling, rushing horde Of youngsters as they hurried on To eat at yonder board. He was so big and fat. you see. He could not go so fast; The youngsters were all barnyard pigs; The huge old hog was last. Now all these things were going on In barnyard close beside, And in the llow'ring orchard Another pair were spied. She nestled close beside her love; He spoke in words not clear. The hired man and hired girl Were planning for next year. Frances Huey. A RAINY NIGHT I like to spend a rainy night in bed, When I am dry and warm, and yet can smell The sweetness of the rain-wet earth; its spell Can weave a bright enchantment o’er my head. Street lights paint trees upon the wall, in thread Of silver, which become a fairy dell. And drowsiness is like a deep, cool well. And in the darkness there alone I tread The fragile, crystal stairway of my dreams. Till suddenly below the front door bangs And careless footsteps clatter in the hall. A bar of light above my door-sill gleams, I hear my brother’s voice in nasal twangs In ribald snatches from the Firemen’s Ball. Carol Browne. sixty-eight THE CAULDRON A MODERN CINDERELLA “Cindy,” said the older of her two sisters, “it’s too bad you can’t get a date tonight. We’re going up to One Long Hop’s for a bowl of chop suey and a couple of hops.” “Oh, well.” replied Cindy. “I have to press Rill’s trousers and wash a pair of stockings, anyway. I’ll get a date some other night.” “Toodle-OO, we’ll be seeing you.” called Cindy’s sisters. Slam! went the front door. Rang! echoed the door on a tattered old col- legiate car as the girls sped away with two hatless, raccoon-coated young men. “They’re off.” sighed Cindy as she dropped two flimsy silk hose into the wash bowl and went to press the trousers. “Tingle-ling-a-ling,” rang the telephone bell. Cindy rushed down the long hall, pulled the telephone out of the little se- cluded niche and lifted the receiver. “Is that you. Cindy?” asked a pleasant masculine voice from the other end. “Well, Tom!” exclaimed Cindy, you’re the answer to a maiden’s prayer.” “What are you doing tonight?” came the voice of our young hero. “I’d like to take you to the Prince of Wales’ birthday party tonight. How about it?” “You’re a peach, Tom. but I haven’t a thing to wear.” “Oh, that’s all right; the other girls won’t have much on either.” “O. K., Tom; I’ll be ready in a half hour. Come on over.” An hour and a half elapsed and Tom called to Cindy, “Come on, kid. You’ve had enough time to dress for six parties.” “Keep your vest on, big boy. I’ll be down as soon as 1 get this lipstick on right.” “Well, step on it. We won’t get there till it’s time to come home.” Upon their arrival, Cindy at once became the “belle of the ball”. The party was at its height when Cindy remembered that she had left the iron hooked up and sitting on Rill’s best trousers. Out of the ballroom she flew, catching the extremely high heel of her pump on the top step. Off came the slipper. On went Cindy to rescue her brother’s trousers. The next day a young man came to the door with a package under his arm. When Cindy went to admit the young man she recognized him as the Prince. “Ah, at last I have found you. my Dream Girl,” exclaimed the Prince, hand- ing her the package. “Oh! Give me my slipper and dry up,” replied Cindy as she shoved the astonished young man out and slammed the door. “Ha! ha! ha!” laughed our modern Cinderella. “He thought he could hand me that line, and I’d fall for it!” Esther Reed. SIXTY-NINE THE CAULDRON THE BALLAD OF MARY READ Upon the Carolina bay The tall ship, Kingston, anchored lay, Across her deck a broken spar, Her dirty hull was splashed with tar Jack Rackham’s ship, a buccaneer, A name to make the bravest fear. A long-boat waited by her side And bobbed in dalliance with the tide. The female pirate, Mary Read, Who followed after Rackham’s lead. Had gone ashore at noon to wait That rogue, Dick Corner, Rackham’s mate. Last night the mate had picked a fight; He struck Paul West, an English lad. And vowed he’d slit his ears. Egad!” Such quarrels must, by pirate laws. Be settled on the shore, because Such bickerings to lx on deck Would cramp a pirate’s cut and check. But Mary Read could not stand by And see her English lover die; She slapped Dick Corner, roundly cursed, And told him she would fight him first. Behind the dunes, with manner bland. She calmly paced the whitened sand. Her brilliant eyes were dark and wide. She walked with free and graceful stride And hummed a song lx tween her teeth, And swung her sword in its velvet sheath. At last she halted, turned her gaze Against the sky’s blue, burning blaze. Above the dunes a man arose In plumes, and tarnished, silken Clothes; A dreadful, monstrous, hairy thing Whose bull-roar made the welkin ring. He ran toward her, his cutlass flashed. Her Arab steel against it clashed. A hissing twist, a lightning slash Across his face a bleeding gash. He screamed at her in blinded pain. And cut the empty air in vain. She glided in to cut and thrust, Her blade was red as if with rust. His hanger wavered. Mary struck. And Rackham’s mate had gone amuck A blood-soaked heap of soiled silk. Such be the fate of all his ilk. Carol Browne. rHF CAULDRON HOW TO WRITE A MOVIE SCENARIO Of course, you must have, besides a grand idea for a story, anywhere from five to ten theme songs, a hero and heroine with voices like liquid silver or gold, (take your pick), two or three big chances for a chorus number, and a pro- fusion of musical maids and butlers in convenient locations. The story isn’t hard to write in these days of technicolor, songs and plots. Every time the action shows signs of either killing itself or the audience, have someone break down and start singing. F’r instance, the hero has just burst into song and out of the room, much to the heroine’s distress. Her father’s gold mines in Chicago (a small central jumping-off place is necessary in your plot), have just gone haywire, and her father has taken to playing the harp. Now that the hero, too. is gone, life is empty indeed. She makes as if to curl up and die. but instead of doing that graceful act (and welcome one for the audience) she bursts out into a medley of two songs. “My Pa Ain’t a Golddigger No More” (out of sympathv for the recent mining interests he held) and “Mv Bay-bee's Nonchalant”. From his perch on the transom, the hero hears her heart-broken melodies, and. by a pre- arranged miracle, knows the second verse and chorus of both. Then follows a regular Romeo and Juliet act. only Romeo is the one up on the balcony, with one leg hanging inside the room. From his cobwebby point of observation, he yodels. The happy heroine catches the hero as lie falls; then follows the chorus. Naturally, the two principals can dance. They went to the same dancing school, as little children, I guess. Then, because they can’t kiss and clinch at the same time they’re singing, enter the maids and butlers to do their trilling for them. Of course, they get married in full technicolor, on a depth screen. That’s the fadeout. Now try to convince some director that vour plot is O. K. and not like Number 45okl306 which was released last week, having its premiere on Broadway (and Halsted). LENCI IEN HOKSTETTKK. THE BROADWAY EXCHANGE As a flashily dressed individual passed the group of men. one of them re- marked in an undertone. There goes Count de Pennys from Scotland”. One of them in well kept but cheap clothes detached himself from the group and hurriedly rounded the block in such a manner as to bump into the Count. “Oh, I beg your pardon,” said Pete the Pickpocket, for such is our young hero named, and then he added, “Well! well! if it isn’t my old friend. Count de Pennys.” “Why, I’ve never seen you, never laid eyes on you,” sputtered the Count, picking himself up from the pavement, and what’s more, I never want to see you again.” “Why. Count!” our hero exclaimed, “don’t you remember the time you risked your own life to save mine on the beach at Coney Island?” To Count de Pennys, Coney Island might have been heaven or it might have been in some remote part of the Arctic, but the Count had an imagination so he answered readily, Yes, yes, indeed, I do recall the trivial little exhibition.” Pete thought the last retort none too complimentary but said, “Well, here’s where I turn, Count. So long.” SKVKXTY-ONE r H E CAULDRON In a quiet alley Pete pulled out a watch and ten dollars in change from his pocket and remarked, I wonder if they have beaches in Coney Island -anyway it was a good gag, but I should think a swell like him would carry more than ten bucks and a three dollar watch.” Meanwhile Count de Pennys was walking down the street. Glancing at the watch in his hand, he said, “Well, well; I didn’t think a bum like him would carry a ‘ticker’ like this. I believe Larry, the old pawnbroker, will give me thirteen dollars for it.” William Mi rphy. AUTUMN GYPSIES The llaming trees of Autumn toss and swing And swirl their skirts of scarlet, green and gold. I hear the jingling tambourines they hold. And catch the carefree measures that they sing. Like some bright gypsy caravan they pass The browning sedges of the meadows’ rim. And where a haze makes all the distance dim. I see their garments flashing through the grass. They dance with not a thought of yesterday. Nor any longing for the future, still They seem to know they cannot always play Upon a wind-swept, gently-sloping hill. And so they toss the golden hours away. And live the life of gypsies while they may. Sibyl Henson. A PRAYER God grant me this one gift. And nothing more: Deep in the night before the shadows lift. On through the fog before the gray mists shift, 'I'he heart to say. “I know the light’s ahead; Why should a lonely rover be afraid Of ghosts and shadows and of crimson scars When he has set his visions on the stars That beckon still to each true fighting soul. All set to cut through hell to reach the goal?” Grant me but this one dream: To face defeat, And see beyond blue skies that glow and gleam, Brave starts through some far twilight that will stream For one who says, “I’ve fought through all the gales Where surf and storm have swept away my sails. But still far off. beyond the tempest’s roar. I see the dock lights shining on the shore And on by reef and rock and surf-lashed straits I’ll come to anchor where my Captain waits.” Doris M.

When William’s legs too long have grown The trousers fail to hide ’em. So Walter claims them for his own And stows himself inside 'em. Next Sam’s fat legs they close invest And, when they won’t stretch tighter. They’re turned and shortened, washed and pressed And fixed on me—the writer. Ma works them into rugs and caps When I have burst the stitches. At doomsday we shall see (perhaps) The last of Dad’s old breeches. Burns B. Wyi.uk. THE FRESH IE’S LAMENT Why is it the Freshmen Who get it in the neck? It ought to be the Juniors Instead of us, by heck. Instead of being hollered at We should be helped along. But all we get is kidding; They’ve got us in the wrong. Where is it that we need more help? Of course, right at the start. We’re sick of being laughed at By Juniors who think they’re smart. There ought to be a law passed About this thing; I say It ought to be the Juniors Who are laughed at every day. Bobby Jones. SKVKNTY-THREK THE CAULDRON A SHOW Chicago for a show -not a motion picture, hut something on the legitimate stage. “Sweet Adeline” received good reviews. At the Illinois? Fine, arrive and find there is no matinee. “Topaze?” Yes- walk there—to find it has moved from the theatre. Down Clark Street. “It’s a Wise Child?” No— “Young Sinners,” well—“Sons of Guns.” Harry Richman? not bad in “Puttin’ on the Ritz.” Guess so, ves. Hard boiled box office agent. A wait until he finishes phoning—concludes with, “You might try the Erlanger, this is the Grand Opera House.” Ask for a certain priced ticket. Only such and such left. Humbly take that. Be non- chalant and light a Murad when you hear that familiar announcement. “Forty- five minutes before the opening curtain.” “What! no Murads?” Walk—in the crowds. Finally back in the theatre. Up plush-covered stairs—to a seat on the heights. Not many in the boxes—but the number in the adjacent seats. The show is on a comedy that is at least fast-moving. Why and how do some people obtain their parts? Is that girl really good looking off stage? Who ever heard of a top-sergeant employing soft r’s? Albertina Rasch girls, peasant garb. The dancers light, airy, graceful and all the rest of it spontaneous applause. Must Richman draw out those notes? A musical number, now old. seems out of place. Gino Malo. Easy to see why she has the lead. Pert, vivacious. Those manners, that accent. An English major in the popular American con- ception—even to the prominent nose. May Horan, minor lead, has one good dance—a loose eccentric buck. The footlights resemble shining black coffee beans. “Sunnyside of the Street”- rhythmic beat of drums, similar to Africa? Is Harry Richman a good singer or not? A wooden shoe number that is good. A hard seat that is becoming harder. Cushioned! Why are people so unthink- ing? Don’t they know, I want the armrests for myself? And something should be done about halitosis. Oh, well, the theatre seems almost clean, must be new, but why should any architect think walls resembling pebbled leather are attractive, and blue exit lights in the shape of stars? Say! I wonder if there are enough exit doors in case of fire. I guess so. Must be near the end—some are leaving. Here it is the finale. A jam in the lobby a jam in the street—oh, why don’t they get out of my way? It looks like the whole—army is here. Don’t they know, I have to make that train and meet Jane? LaSalle Street -Adams, 5:43, and home. Map: Wright. MODESTY Down in a green arid shady nook A little brooklet flows; One summer day I chanced to look. And found a modest rose. Its stem was bent down to the ground. Its head was drooping too; This quiet place it must have found So it could hide from view. SEVENTY-FOUR THE CAULDRON And yet, it was a lovely flower, Its color deep and true; Its perfume filled the leafy bower With fragrance ever new. Yet, there it was, content to stay, By other flowers forsook; With gorgeous hues, its part did play To cheer the shady nook. Though joy or sorrow, life may give. This my desire shall he: That I may also learn to live In sweet humility. Thelma K. Kklloc.c,. CLOUDS I am a dealer in clouds. All you scenic artists—come and view my wares. I’ve vivid sunset clouds to place behind a rough-hewn cabin in a wood; Gray storm-clouds to make a stone house stand stark—upon a hill; And some tiny, sun-flecked cloudlets to hang above a sunken garden; Also a number of dazzling white ones; And a few trimmed in orchid, and gold; A troupe of woolly, fly-away clouds; And some palely opalescent, dipped in sea-mist and pearls. Mae Kalinowski. THE QUEST A young and gallant handsome knight Mounted his fiery steed. He galloped away in armour bright For a wife that he did need. “These meek little women with nothing to do Have no attraction for me. Just for a change I’ll get me a shrew Who, indeed, quite different will be.” One day he learned by word of mouth Of a terrible shrew to be won. The gossips said she lived far to the south. In a land where there was no sun. This young and gallant handsome knight Traveled for many a day Through forests as black as the day is light. Until he was old and grey. “They claimed she was one in a million, ’tis true; And none surpassed her in fame. But for forty years I’ve hunted this shrew And still my search is in vain.” SEVENTY-FIVE THE CAULDRON “Now I am old and sallow of hue, With trembling hands and head; And no fool would have me. much less a shrew. When I am practically dead.” ♦ He found that the land where there was no sun Was four hundred years away. And the name of that land was '31. Where you came across shrews every day. Mary Ai,ice Di m. A LARGE EVENING You sing a little song or two And have a little chat. You make a little candy fudge And then you take your hat. You hold her hand and say, “Good-night.” As sweetly as you can— Isn’t that a heck of an evening For a great big healthy man? Doris M. Moaci.and. WHY DO WHAT OTHERS DO? Why do what others do? Have you no mind of your own, and no will power to hold you up? Just because somebody else does something it is no sign that you should do the same thing. Life is what you make it. and if you follow somebody else you are not making your own life, but copying the other fellow’s life. It’s all right to hold somebody up as an example of good manhood or woman- hood. and try to make yourself as nearly as you can like that person, but don’t do everything they did just because you think if they can do it. so can 1 and if they are what I am striving for. I’ll just do the same thing. Think out things for yourself. Go at them as though you meant to make something out of your- self. and not because somebody else did it. If Washington. Lincoln, and even Edison did everything that somebody else did. where would we be today? Washington did not like things in our country as they were. He had a mind of his own. He fought for what he thought was right, not because some- body else thought what was right and what wasn’t. Lincoln brought this country out of slavery, not because somebody else thought that it wasn’t right to hold negroes as slaves, but because he knew that all men were created equal, and one was as good as the other. Edison did not become a great man by doing just what other people did. lie did things because lie had a mind of his own. and knew how to use it. You should have a mind of your own. and do things not because other people do them but because you know they are right. If you want to get along in this world you have to use your own brains. You cannot hire somebody else to do the thinking for you if you expect it to be right. You have to rely on yourself. Harold Hambel. SEVENTY-SIX R O little mistakes Little mistakes do not mean much to the average among us. W c don’t think it matters, yet if we stopped for a minute we would see tilings in a dif- ferent light. We would see how much our lives depend on our accuracy and ability not to make mistakes. An engineer may miss a red light on his route; that isn’t much more than some of our mistakes. He may not be watching ahead ; we do the same thing. Then he has a wreck, just because he has made a mistake. We think we can pass up little mistakes with the idea that nobody will know the difference, maybe they won’t. The piece of work may pass all inspections, yet it is not right, it is weak, it doesn’t hold up. It may even crumble and fall to pieces, and cause injuries or even death, or it may have been just another thing gone wrong. We have to be careful and think of the other fellow. THE MOKE THE EIRE IS COVERED IT THE MORE IT BURNS The more we try to cover up a fire, the more it burns. We only add fuel to a hot subject. The same can be applied to our lives. When we get in trouble we start a little fire, then we try to cover it up. We are not really covering anything up, we are only adding fuel. We make our faults look larger to other people. We make people see things in the wrong light. We make things that are really small misdemeanors look like a huge crime. We do something wrong; then we try to cover it up. Maybe it is only a little thing we are holding back on, yet it can be seen in our faces. We all try to cover up our wrongdoings; it is natural. Ever since this world began we have been trying to cover up things. We are ashamed to face the true facts, afraid to make our wrongdoing known. A PECULIAR REVENGE “Well, kids, the old ‘Studie’ runs pretty nicely, doesn’t she?” remarked “Chuck” Bauer, as his President Eight purred along at sixty-five per. It was a rather strange trio that sat in the front seat. The driver, “Chuck” Bauer, was twenty-eight chronologically, but in experience and otherwise, thirty- eight. He had been married at eighteen, a father at nineteen, and divorced at twenty-four. Now, with a record like that, it wasn’t exactly unnatural that lie should have a somewhat bitter and cynical outlook on life. In appearance, he was attractive, to say the least. His physique was all that one could want; his features were rugged, yet finely molded. These personal assets were offset by his taste in dress and pleasing personality. His ample income was that of a railroad engineer. Part of this was used to pay for his training as a doctor of osteopathy. He had spent twenty months already in study and had twenty more before completing the course. At the end of that time, lie had visualized a strange future for anyone who had attained the height of his ambition -that of revenge. The couple addressed as “kids” were Babs Mather, seventeen, and Te l San- born, eighteen. Babs was a Senior in high school; pretty, peppy, yet serious. She rated very highly wherever she went and with whomever she was acquainted. Her manner was altogether charming, and any conversation with her was interesting. Her biggest shortcoming lay in the fact that she was deeply infatuated with Ted. At the present time they both really thought no one else mattered to either of them. When “kids” of that age get ideas like that, it proves they’ve a lot to learn. SEVENTY-SEVEN I H L CAULDRON They were all going to a party in Chicago. Ted and Chuck were very well acquainted, but it was the first time Chuck and Babs had met. Chuck was favor- ably impressed. “Y’ know. Ted, you’re lucky Babs isn't five years older or I’m not five years younger. I’d give you a run for your money.” Babs laughed good-naturedly and Ted replied. “What would she do with you? Think she wants an old fogey’ like you? Not Babs.” “No foolin’, you kids. You think the world and all of each other now. and I wouldn’t be surprised if you’d be dumb enough to elope with that pinhead Ted not making enough to keep mosquitoes in stockings. Marriage is like a railroad: you’ve got to stop. look, and listen if you want to be safe.” Babs interest was aroused. “Tell me. Mr. Bauer, do you think you’ll re marry?” “Well, I’ll tell you, Babs. Most kids your age wouldn’t soak this up, but you have a few brains, and some day you might profit by mv experience. I was married when I was as old as Ted. We loved each other. You know that every human being is selfish, but some show it more than others. Well, that was Evelyn: she showed it and how! If people could only realize that marriage is something you have to enter with the idea of how much you can give rather than get. there’d be fewer divorces. I wasn’t making as much then as I am now. and she had to want some things I couldn’t give her. That’s why we’re divorced. I couldn’t believe she was really gone for a long time. From then on I’ve wanted to do something to be proud of. My study in osteopathy T think is the way. When I’m thirty-five I ought to have reached that goal. Then I’ll marry a girl about twenty-four or twenty five, one that’s pretty and a university graduate. I’ll give her everything money can buv. but I’ll be a mystery to her; I don’t want her to know the real me. One thing I’ll never understand about women is that they’re not happy unless a man does whatever they want and yet they don’t want one that’s putty in their hands. Anyway, that’s how I’ll get my revenge.” “You mean to say you’ll make some other person suffer just because you’ve a silly idea of revenge?” I’ll not make her unhapoy. but she won’t make a fool out of me.” Whatever Babs thought about this wasn’t known, because they arrived at the place where the party was row in full sway. I Iowever Chuck Bauer’s strange ideas stuck in her mind. Well, Babs, the old ‘Studie’ runs pretty nicely, doesn’t she?” Babs, now an alumna of Northwestern and the future wife of Dr. Bauer, remembered those very words spoken by that very person seven short years ago. He was not the famous doctor then, but a man who had had a slap in the face and wanted to slap someone else to “get even”. Seven years change ideas a lot, especially foolish ones.

Why don’t this lock open; this makes the third time I’ve tried the combination. Let’s see, now that Sophomore said twice to the left; no. that’s wrong twice to the right, once to the left, now back to the right, and she’s supposed to open. Boys! there now, I need my algebra and science books. Wonder what those big. thick books are that the Juniors carry around probably an encyclopedia to look up the meanings of those “mile-long” words they try to put over on us! Huh! and you’d think some of those Seniors were suffering from lockjaw or stiff necks the way they walk down the halls with their noses up in the air. and not even saying “Hello!” If you ask me. I’d say it was plain “Senioritis . I don’t intend to act like that when I’m a Senior. I’ll speak to every “Freshie” I see, and go out of my way to be nice to ’em too—in fact. I’ll be the “Freshmen’s friend”. Now, why don’t this lock shut? Oh dear, oh dear, oh dear, there goes that 3:40 bell—more bells around here. I wonder if I’ll ever find out what they all mean. There, that old thing is finally closed. I wonder who that girl is— maybe she's a Senior, she acts like it. Guess I’ll hurry and walk with her—oh— Yoo! Hoo! Ruth Hey man. SPRING FEVER The early spring breezes, perfuming the air. Inspire me here in my study-hall chair. I can’t bear to study; I just want to dream. To sit here beside my fresh, bubbling stream. Under a sky that’s not flecked by a cloud I throw back my head and start laughing aloud. For what blissful ecstacy can I feel! Away, far away, from everything real My joy is not checked by a troubling thought. By all this rare beauty my fancy is caught. Just see how those sweet purple violets work, Coming through to our world, never thinking to shirk. And, oh look, there’s a bird! Old robin red breast. He’s doubtful ’bout staying but he’ll do his best. The ground T recline on is all soft and green, And on tall trees above tiny buds can be seen. Then all of a sudden my vision is gone! I awake with a start—but not to the dawn. Surrounded by dull walls. I heave a deep sigh. The breeze is still here, but the rest seems to die. All the rest of my beautiful dream fades away And I’m left, all forlorn, to the duties of day. What’s the matter with me. that I feel so crude? Spring fever, you say? Oh my, but you're rude! Veka Kjeedsen. SEVENTY-NINE t O N THE MAN WITH DESTINIES IN HIS HAND The door swings silently open; a figure in grey slips into the room and seats himself in an obscure corner, lie is not noticed and the work at hand proceeds. Only a few covert glances are cast his way. Those, whose glances linger, notice that his hair and suit are of the same grey. The only way to describe his eyes is by calling them “glad eyes”, they seem so full of joy and earnest effort to help others. Sometimes he laughs with 11s. talks with us and to us. and, like a father, he scolds us. Occasionally if the discussion at hand is interesting, he adds some bit of information, and he has on several occasions started very interesting dis- cussions which he has entered into. Rut more frequently he remains silent. As he leaves the room we notice that his shoulders are stooped as though bent with the burdens of many. In the thoughtful, it awakens the desire to do their best so that no more may be added to others’ burdens. Ai.da Eukbbe. PAUL RUNYAN CLEANS UP CHICAGO Paul Bunyan and his men were up in Canada the year after the Dry Sum- mer. logging the frozen trees from under the glaciers of the far north. Paul was still busy with the problem of replacing the ice packs after his men had broken them up. and he had not ventured forth from the cabin for three days. Johnny Inkslinger had gone north to the Pole to borrow the northern lights, so they could dig by night as well as by day. .So the men were left pretty much to themselves. After four days of intense thought, Paul Bunyan decided to import several blower whales. They could drink hot water and play it on the glaciers. The ice left, of course, would melt, and then freeze over again, replacing the havoc wrought by the loggers. So on the fifth day. Paul ventured out again to feed the Blue Ox his twelve hundred barrels of concentrated corn meal mush. He had barely stepped out of the house, before he began to sniff the air cautiously. Coal smoke! Thd beautiful fresh air was polluted with dirty coal smoke. Paul Bunyan was exas- perated. He immediately paced over to the logging camp, and demanded the cause. The men were frightened out of their four yard boots by their boss’s rage. Just then, Johnny Inkslinger came rushing in on his ice cake motor boat, anxious to get back to his beloved ink barrels. Paul Bunyan shouted at him in such a loud voice that the petrified trees that had recently been uncovered were all shaken loose from their foundations, thus saving the loggers the time of chop- ping them down. Johnny Inkslinger looked frightened. “It's probably from that country called United States. I read up on the revolving Pole that the government was burning up with politics,” he explained. Paul Bunyan then and there ordered Johnny to go down south and find out the matter. Poor Johnny hated to leave his ink bottles, but nevertheless the next morning, he left with the Blue Ox. who was in need of a little recreation. That night Paul Runyan sat up. reading an explanation of perpetual motion, and anxiously awaiting Johnny’s return. At four a. m. the Ox came prancing back, taking a mile at each step. Johnny Inkslinger rushed through the door, and shouted at Paul, “It’s Chicago! The ten thousand chimneys belch forth tons of smoke per minute. The city is inundated with smoky fog. The newspapers cry out for help continually, but the officials are so busy bribing the gangsters that they receive no petitions. The population is pleading for help.” eighty fHE CAULDRON So Paul Runyan put on his steel-lined wood jacket, equipped with electric heaters, and his motor-driven roller skates and after stuffing his pockets with knick-knacks, he bade goodbye to the loggers. As he approached the Lake, he was nearly suffocated by immense clouds of carbon dioxide and monoxide. But he backed up two miles from Lake Superior, and readjusting his motor skates, he cleared the middle in one leap. He could plainly see the city from Michigan, so he sat down on a small hill mountain and viewed the perplexing problem. He could hardly breathe, so he pulled from his pocket the gas mask he had used when Nero burned Rome, and after putting it on. he could think better. After a few minutes he scratched his head, and then a broad grin broke forth on his face. With one stride he had stepped into the river—the only place he could conveniently stand without knocking down one building or another. The water did rise four feet over its level, but it went down soon after his departure. Paul pulled several thousand feet of stove pipe out of his pocket, lie attached it to the chimney tops of all the smoking stacks. It took but a few minutes to connect all these ends together, and in less than an hour all the smoke of the city was pouring out of one pipe at the north limit of the city. It is true that the pipe looked black, so Paul pulled from his pocket a bit of Sir Ocean’s invisible paint, and dabbed the bottom sides of the black pipe. He left the top sooty, so the dirigible wouldn’t get tangled in it. And in two steps he was up in northern Michigan. Then Paul Runyan soldered the p'pe end onto another piece, and with a few thrusts of a shovel having dug a pit, he stuck the p’pe end into it. and left it to make coal mines for future use from the unburned carbon. Paul returned home, and the citv of Chicago sent him an air mail letter the next day. expressing extreme gratitude for his solving of the smoke problem. Rut Paul Runyan, reclining in his easy chair, with his feet on the tamed blower whale—who was not the camp favorite- was thinking of a way to use the gulf stream for his new hot water heating plant.

As they run here and there in the wet. muddy street. I’m like the farmer, for 1 like the rain; I like the splash on my window pane. The rain really has such a soothing effect. But most of us haven’t got used to it yet. The rain makes you feel droopy, some people say. Rut that’s ’cause they take it just the wrong way. The rain is good for you, through and through. And you’re just a grouch if it makes you feel blue. If you don’t like the rain, I know what to do; Get out in it then, and walk in it too. You’ll find that the rain tells a story so true. The story Mother Nature is sending to you. So cheer up today, put your troubles away, Sing in the rain, you’ll find it will pay. Don’t feel sad, when the skies aren’t so blue. And you’ll find loads of comfort and happiness too. Ruth Barnard. EIGHTY-ONE ) R O N S nH OA Sco)ro o)ed ? EIGHTY-TWO ■ THE CAULDRON THE NATIONAL HONOR SOCIETY lust as we have a select group among athletes, our letter men—so there is a select group among our scholars. But unlike the athletes, these scholars have not been awarded any symbols of honor; they have been expected to achieve without praise. The only bit of honor which comes at all is that achieved at the end of four years, when a valedictorian and salutatorian are chosen. We have not been satisfied with this situation, so we have investigated the National Honor Society of Secondary Schools which cares for this need. Downers Grove High School now is one chapter of the National Honor Society. It has as its object to create an enthusiasm for scholarship, to stimulate a desire to render service, to promote worthy leadership, and to encourage the development of character in pupils of the Downers Grove High School. Membership in this chapter shall be based on scholarship, service, leader- ship and character. To be eligible for consideration in scholarship a prospec- tive member must be in the upper third of his class. Members are chosen from the Senior Class. Election of members to the chapter shall be by a council consisting of the principal and four or more Faculty members whom he shall select. The officers of the chapter, president, vice-president, secretary, treasurer, are elected by vote from the membership. “Once a member, always a member does not hold true in this organization. High standards must be maintained. A National Honor Society pin, a symlxd of membership in this organization, will be presented to each member. By adoption of the National Honor Society for our school we are eliminating just two honorary positions and giving more of our scholars due recognition. Eighty-four i E CAULDRON HIGH SCHOOL SOCIAL COMMITTEE Mr. Malir Miss Parsons Mrs. Andersen Mr. Moser Gordon Cavanaugh Alice Frazier Ruth Barnard John Me Alpine The many social affairs of the past year were sponsored by the School Social Committee, consisting of four Faculty members and one representative of each class from the student body. This committee plans all school parties, class parties, and the alumni party, which is given during the Christmas holidays. They try to make the social life in Downers High as interesting and entertaining as possible. All refreshments, music, and decorations arc also planned by this group. The first party of the year was a surprise party for the students, given by our superintendent, Mr. Her, with the assistance of the committee. Miss Parsons took charge of the dancing and directed amusing games. Everyone was requested to take part and no one needed to be asked twice. This is just one example of the good times which this small group has planned for us. Thank you. Social Committee, for our many good times in the Downers Grove High School! I-IOUTY-FIVK ULDRON BIG SISTER TEA On Sept. 23 the Girl Reserves held their first party. A program preceded the paity. Betty Nowak, the president, introduced the officers to the new mem- bers.

Refreshments of Brazilian tea and cookies were served. GIRL RESERVE HIKE On Tuesday, October 14. the Girl Reserves held their annual informal initiation at the Girl Scout cabin. About forty girls with high spirits, and a load of pep, hiked around Belmont Square and arrived at the cabin in time for supper consisting of hot dogs, pickles, marshmallows, apples, and much mustard. TEA FOR MOTHERS On October 24. the advanced foods class in home economics served their mothers with a cozy little tea. Included on the menu were ribbon sandwiches, cheese and olive canapes, cup cakes, and tea. If the mothers enjoyed eating as much as the girls did serving, they must have spent a delightful afternoon. HINSDALE PARTY On the Monday afternoon following the Hinsdale football game, Mr. Her treated us to a pleasant surprise in the form of a social hour.

The Juniors had the hot dogs and pop- what a combination! And last, but not by any means least, the Seniors had charge of the ice cream, pee wee golf course, and the dance! The vaudeville was excellent! Under the training of our new dramatic head, the dialogues, dances, and specialty acts were just as good as they could be. ATHLETIC BANOUET All members of the football and basketball teams, those who were on the track team last year, the cheerleaders, and all those who did not make the teams but stayed out all season, were entertained bv the Lions Club at a banquet on March 19 at the Methodist Church.

A. enter- tained their boy friends on April 25 in the high school auditorium. The gym was attractively decorated as a night scene. A large silver moon hung behind the orchestra, and silver stars peeped in and out from a midnight blue sky. JUNIOR-SENIOR BANQUET May 2 The Junior-Senior banquet was held at 6:30 on this Saturday night. This event is the one which all Juniors and Seniors anticipate throughout the entire year. Tonight, as always before, their hopes were more than realized. The dining room and tables were beautifully decorated and the banquet itself was most satisfactory. After a short program presided over by Rankin Kaut as toastmaster, the scene of the party was changed to the II S. Mere the gym- nasium had been transformed from its prosaic every-day appearance to one more suitable to the occasion. SOPHOMORE PARTY After the Junior-Senior prom, the “Sophs” decided to splurge, so they held a party in the auditorium. The decorations from the prom were still up and so the gym was very pretty. Dancing and punch were the main attractions. SENIOR RECOGNITION AND PICNIC May 22 marked the day for Senior recognition and their class picnic. Recog- nition was held in the auditorium during the regular Friday assembly hour. The Seniors marched on the platform and the Juniors came down and took the Seniors’ vacant places. An interesting program followed. After the assemble the Seniors left for their annual picnic. Everybody reported an enjoyable time outside of a few freckles and sunburn. BACCALAUREATE On May 24. the Senior baccalaureate service was held in the Methodist Episcopal Church at 3 o’clock. The pastor, Reverend Stewart I). White, was the speaker, and the service was very impressive and one that will remain in the Seniors' minds for years to come. CLASS NIGHT May 25 was celebrated by class night. This is the night that all the Seniors are presented with a gift representing a habit or one of their fads. The gifts were novel and caused a good deal of laughter. A short dance was held after this and everybody looked as if they were having a wonderful time. COMMENCEMENT On Thursday evening. May 28. at 8 o’clock, the Seniors of the Class of 1931 walked slowly down the aisles of the high school auditorium and took their places on the stage. Reverend M. S. Rice of the Metropolitan M. E. Church of Detroit, Michigan, delivered the address. The diplomas were then presented and our Seniors were safely launched into the wide world. EIGHTY-EIGHT THE CAULDRON THE GOOSE HANGS HIGH” “The Goose Hangs High”, a clever dramatic play in three acts, was very commendable presented by the Senior Class on November 16 and 17, in the high school auditorium. Large, appreciative audiences greeted the cast at each performance, and considered it one of the best plays that has been given. From the moment the curtain rose on the charming colonial living room, obviously long lived in by people of breeding and taste, to the final scene of comedy, reconciliation and adjustments, interest soared at white heat. In addi- tion to the exceedingly clever plot, the play contained sparkling lines, not a little philosophy, and many trying spots. The cast was as follows: Bernard Ingals, a devoted father, was played by W illiam HoiTcrt. Eunice Ingals. a gracious, patient mother who was trying to understand, was played by Betty Nowak. Noel Derby, bachelor friend of the Ingals, was well acted by William Barbe:. Leo Day, Walter E. Taylor, was a typical social climber and politician. Rhoda, the German maid, was played by Eleanor Hoehn. Julia Murdock. Aunt Julia, a sophisticated clubwoman, who could not see the value of a college education, was none other than Virginia Smith. Mrs. Bradley, “Granny”, a true aristocrat, who could not adjust herself to modern youth, was portrayed excellently by Carol Browne. Hugh Ingals, the tall, slender, and well mannered big brother and lover of Dagmar, was played by Edmund Rassweiler. Ronald Murdoch, the small town boy who craved a chance to see life in New York, was acted by Meade Frankenfield. Ardys Walter and Walter F. Taylor took the parts of a pair of thoughtless, effervescent twins who finally displayed great business alrlity. Dagmar Caroll. the understanding fiancee of Hugh, was played by Ruth Barnard, a pretty and effective characterization. Elliott Kimberley. Walter Shriner. fell quite at home in his villain’s role. The Seniors truly scored a great success in their play, and much credit is due Miss Charlotte Wollaeger, our director, for working so faithfully.

This year the staff was increased greatly, and all phases of school life were thoroughly covered. Peggy Anderson, editor-in-chief of High Life, proved to be a very com- petent leader, working steadily to improve the paper in every way possible. Several new features and departments were added. Copy reading was done by Isabel Murphy and Catherine Ehr. This relieved Miss Hennis of a great deal of correcting. The exchange department was handled by Helen Darnley, who sent copies of our paper to other schools in exchange for copies of theirs, and chose choice bits of humor, advice, poetry, and other information for the columns of High Life. The extra copies for this purpose were furnished by The Reporter. Katy the Kook Margaret Sloan furnished appetizing recipes and hints on what to serve at parties. NINETY r H E CAULDRON A much read column, the High Life Line, afforded a lot of amusement for everybody in- cluding the originators, Rob Patzke and Ruck Jones. A calendar of each week’s events was another innovation, created by Ruth Harlan. “Way Back When”, selected by Ruth Zimmer- man. was a reproduction of parts of the High Life of three years ago. A member who deserves special recognition is Esther Hodge. Forced to leave school because of illness. Esther continued her writing and por- trayed very interestingly the personalities of stu- dents who passed her house going to and from school. “Window Screenings”, as she called it. and her many clever poems, came in with unfailing promptness every week. Roys’ sports write-ups were a big item in this year’s paper. The football and basketball games were written up bv the sports writers, and in addition William Hoerter rave the standings of the teams and write-ups of other con ference panics. He got his information by calling the conference secretary every week. Gordon Cavanagh wrote “Thru the Hoop” and “Between the Goal Posts”, interesting sidelights on various games and players. Elinor Curtis and her corps of personal writers did very faithful work chronicling the doings of the students and Faculty on week-ends and holidays. Class Room Comments, with Sibyl Benson as the leader of the department, was made individual by clever write-ups of the members, each of whom wrote on a designated subject. A very dependable group on the staff were the organization scribes. Resides the regular clubs which have been in school for the past several years, they covered the new organizations of the Opera Club. Library Club, and Rifle Club. These subjects were also divided among the group. Caroline Ide continued her difficult task of writing up the assemblies and in addition conducted the Inquiring Reporter and gave all the latest alumni news. The other feature writers contributed many original write-ups. Humor was furnished through the pens of Walter Shriner, alias “Victor You Go”, Edward Tones, and Robert Patzke. Our versatile cartoonist. Walter Ransom, contributed a cartoon once a month, an improvement over last year, when they were not published that often. The Reporter paid half the expense for the cut each month. The typing, perhaps the hardest and most monotonous task of all. was faith- fully done by Grace Mochel. Marjorie Nielsen, and Catherine Ehr. This year the staff voted to have pins, and chose a silver shield with crossed scroll pens above an ink bottle on which was inscribed the initials I). IT. S. Across the top of the pin were the words “High Life”. A great deal of credit for the success of the paper goes to Miss Hennis, our adviser, who spent many hours of planning, correcting, and checking. To Mr. Staats, who. although not an official member of the staff, planned the headlines, corrected undetected errors, gave instructive talks to the staff, and biggest of all. contributed the space in 'I'he Reporter for the high school paper, the High Life Staff and the student body extend their appreciation and thanks. NINKTY-ONK DRON GIRLS’ CHORUS ROYS’ CHORUS NINETY-TWO r H E CAULDRON MUSIC Justification of the presence of music in the curriculum of a high school is probably out of date. Still the fact remains that we can all remember our grandfathers and grandmothers referred to the “fads and fancies and doo-dads of modern education —referring, of course, to everything not included in the three R’s. Readin’, Ritin’ and Rithmetic is that part of our education which will help us earn a living. The so-called “doo-dads are the things that will help us enjoy life. There are, no doubt, some who still think that the process of making a living is the all-important purpose of our existence; hut though the process of making a living is obviously of great importance, the greater em- phasis is being laid on the ability to enjoy life as it lies before us. This ability is a matter of training, development, and education just as truly as is the acquir- ing of proficiency in the use of the three R’s. It is in the development of the ability to appreciate the good things in life that the teaching of music finds its place, and also its justification. The music department in Downers Grove High School consists of classes in both vocal and instrumental music. Mr. Shoemaker is in charge of the in- strumental branch of the department, devoting his time to developing players of band instruments, with membership in the band and .ill that this entails as the goal and prize offered those who attain unusual proficiency in playing their par- ticular instrument. The vocal department is the branch in which Mr. Pohlmann functions. This department consists of regular classes and the so-called “Special Hoys’ Chorus” and “Special Girls’ Chorus”. The regular class work consists of in struction in the fundamentals of music, such as key signatures, rhythm, sight reading, musical terms, and part singing, along with a certain amount of work in tone production and diction. The special boys’ and special girls’ choruses are composed of those pupils who have either been endowed with voices of exceptionally good quality, or who through work or innate intelligence have developed the abditv to read music well enough to offset any possible shortcoming in vocal ability. Membership in these organizations is by invitation of the vocal instructor. The two choruses meet together periodically, thus joining forces in what is known as the “special mixed chorus”. The purpose of all these groups is not primarily one of furnishing entertain- ment for audiences, but that of developing in the pupils of greater vocal ability, greater proficiency in vocal work with its resultant greater appreciation of those things that make life beautiful and worth while and enjoyable. A certain num ber of public appearances have been incidental to this development. Some of these were the I T. A. meeting of December, the II. S. Christmas program, participation in the Visiting Day program, the Downers Grove Woman’s Club, and others, culminating in a presentation of Cadman’s operetta “Lelawala”. March 26 and 27. 1931. MNKTY-THRKK THE CAULDRON LELAWALA THE MAID OF NIAGARA Lelawala is an operetta of three acts, the music of which is by Charles Wakefield Cadman, one of America’s greatest living composers. The book and lyrics are by George M. Brown. The story of the operetta is based on the legend of Niagara, the “Thunder Waters” of the Indians. In times gone by, during a famine, the great spirit called for the sacrifice of a virgin and Necia, the chief’s daughter, volunteered. On a set day she drifted over the falls in a white llower-decked canoe; the anger of the Great Spirit was appeased and the famine ended. W ar again threatens the Oniahgahrahs and Lelawala offers to die as Necia had done in the legend. A great deal of intrigue and planning and plotting transpire, including such acts as the kidnapping of Lelawala and Mabel, the rescue by the scout Eagle Eye, the defeat of the enemies of the Oniahgahrahs by another tribe, thus removing the need for the sacrifice of Lelawala. The serious- ness of the impending tragedy is lightened by Lord Taller, Sergeant Bilks, and Clarinda, and by a troop of soldiers. Eagle Eye, the scout, also provides a great deal of drollery. Lelawala was an outstanding success both artistically and financially. The outdoor forest setting of all the scenes of this p'ay and the color costuming of Indians and British solders, “Redcoats”, offered a very attractive picture, and the beauty of Cadman’s music was a foregone conclusion. Great credit is given to Mr. Pohlmann for his instruction in the musical parts. Perfection of the speaking parts was under the direction of Miss Wollaeger, who was assisted by Miss Brown. The dancing was directed by Miss Parsons. NINETY-FOUR H E AULDRON LELAWALA Presented at the H. S.

Every day at noon a listener in the hall may hear oft interrupted strains of music coming from the gym, which means that the band is at work. The course of study for first semester band credit this year included participation in a local solo contest and assigned work on scales which are very important in band playing. There are classes of instruction for most instruments; besides this, a number of players are taking private lessons. No one can doubt the school spirit of the band or its willingness to serve even on short notice. It has played on numerous occasions for pep meetings in assemblies, for football and basketball games, and also for a Parent Teachers Association meeting. Local organizations have also recognized the band. It has played at a World Peace dinner given by the Illinois League of Women Voters, and for the American Legion in the Armistice Day program at the Sun- day Evening Club. In appreciation for services rendered, the Legion presented the band with a much needed drum major uniform. Floyd Steib. our snappy drum major, exhibited it at the basketball game when it was presented. One of the most outstanding appearances of the band this year was the second annual concert with Hinsdale’s band in December. The combined bands of nearly ninety pieces played at both Hinsdale and Downers Grove. The biggest event for the organization is the band contest, which is yet to come, at the time of this writing. Our band will contest with class P� bands; that is. with bands from schools with an enrollment from 250 to 750; Mr. Shoe- maker, has high hopes of winning a good place this year. A spring concert is being planned to he given before the contest. At the beginning of the second semester the band met to organize. The officers elected were: president, Harvey Fort; secretary-treasurer. Lois Hen- derson ; and band manager, Ray Kellogg. The librarians. Robert Reinhold and Charles Darnell, who had served very faithfully and efficiently during the year, were retained. NINETY-SIX THE CAULDRON Of the music the band has played this year. Ketelby’s oriental numbers. ‘'In a Chinese Temple Garden” and “In a Persian Market”, have been very popular. Among other numbers performed during the year are: March from La Reine de Saba” -Gounod, the overtures, “Knight Errant” O’Neill, Light Cavalry” —Von Suppe, and Morning, Noon, and Night in Vienna”- Von Suppe, also March from Tannhauser” Wagner, and Peer Gynt Suite”—Grieg. The purpose of the high school band is to develop sufficient technique and ability in the players to permit the study and performance of good, standard, classic band music. The appreciation and understanding of good music should be results of the band course. To prepare and play incidental music on numerous occasions is of necessity a part of the work also, and is much enjoyed by the band. The high school band is always changing from year to year and new mem- bers are coming in. There is a need fo a great variety of instruments. Oboe, French horn, and bassoon players are always acceptable. The band, the school, and the community all greatly appreciate the patient, untiring efforts of Mr. Shoemaker.

Lizette Woodworth Reese. As one of the most popular organizations in school, the Girl Reserves can look back upon this year with pride in their accomplishments. Until this year, the Girl Reserves has functioned as one group. However, a new plan of subdividing into two inner groups was introduced; the Freshman-Sophomore, and the Junior-Senior. In this way the girls in. each class are more closely connected with the activities. Those piloting the Junior-Senior organization were: Betty Nowak, president; Virginia Smith, vice-president; and Margaret Frazier, secretary-treasurer. Their assistants were- Catherine Ehr, chairman Finance and Publicity Committee; Caroline Idc, chairman Social Committee; and Sibyl Benson, chair- man Social Service Committee. Miss Miller and Miss Sheldon were the club advisors. The Freshman-Sophomore group had similar offices: Hazel Easley, president; Helen Darnely. vice-president; and Merle Middleton, secretary-treasurer. Cabinet members were Laura Walker. Esther Wachter. and Jean Millsap. In accordance with an established custom, the year opened with the Big Sister Tea. at which the Freshmen were entertained and invited to become members. A hike to the Scout cabin and a wiener roast constituted the informal initiation. In keeping with the spirit of Thanksgiving, the girls brought enough food to fill sev- eral baskets, which the}’ then took to the needy. At Christmas, the formal initiation was combined with a Christmas party. Gifts were brought, to be given to the poor children. After an impressive ceremony, the girls danced, played games, and enjoyed themselves in general. In January, the group took charge of an assembly and presented a very interesting program. Around February 14. a novel Valentine party was held. On February 24, the group met with the Hi-Y to hear a noted speaker. After much work in money-raising and planning, a delightful Mother-Daughter ban- quet was given in March. The dinner itself was delicious, and the program helped to make the occasion a memorable one. St. Patrick's Day brought another meeting with the Hi-Y. this time in the form of a social. Green was predominant and the shamrock was conspicuous. Needless to say. it was a very successful affair. At Easter, a devotional program was given to stress the spiritual side of the Y. W. C. A. triangle. The last meeting before the installation of officers was devoted to further the interest in the Y. W. C. A. camp. The girls who were sent the previous summer, Sibyl Benson and Betty Nowak, related interesting anecdotes and encouraged more girls to attend. As usual, the Senior farewell tea and installation of officers closed the year. At this, service badges were awarded, and in keeping with the custom established in 1928. the six truest Girl Reserves had their names engraved on silver spoons, to be used and kept by the future groups. Those receiving this honor last year were: Mary Millsap. Betty No- wak. Margretta Anderson. Florence Adams. Ethel Jensen, and Caroline Idc.

Hall The purpose of the Hi-Y is to create, maintain and extend throughout the school and community, a high standard of Christian character. The slogan is based on: “Clean Living, Clean Speech, Clean Sports, Clean Scholarship”, other- wise known as the “Four C’s”. The Hi-Y is a high school branch of the Young Men’s Christian Association. The Fli-Y of Downers Grove is connected directly with the Hi-Y’s of the other towns in Du Page County. These in turn are connected directly with the State, National, and International Y. M. C. A. Mr. C. A. Hall is the supervisor for Downers Grove and is the assistant secretary for Du Page County. Mr. B. R. Ryall of Wheaton, known to many boys of Downers Grove, is county secretary. A state conference is held each year in some city of the state. This year six boys from Downers attended the conference at Aurora. The Hi-Y offers, through the auspices of the Y. M. C. A., camping trips at low cost. Camps include Seymour at Decatur. Ill; Hastings at Hastings i.ake, Illinois; and Camp Edwards, Wisconsin. A feature of last summer was the canoe trip, on which boys were taken by truck to Camp Min no-gyn-in, Minne- sota. This trip may be offered again in 1931. These camps and trips are con ducted by able men who endeavor to keep the Hi-Y ideals. Last year the Hi-Y was extended to include the Freshmen and Sophomores in a new club. This club has about twenty members; the older group now numbers about forty. Each is run with a separate group of officers, and the meetings are held in separate rooms or, on some occasions, joint meetings are held. Programs include visiting speakers, discussions on important social sub- jects, or social entertainment of some kind. ONE llUNDKKD ONE THE CAULDRO FRENCH CLUB SPANISH CLUB ONE HUNDRED TWO THE CAULDRON FRENCH CLUB Forty-four students joined “Le Cercle Fran- cais”, or French Club, when it was organized early in the fall. Members are expected to speak French as much as possible. At our meetings we have had talks and dialogues in French, also some interesting reports about the lives of French writers and noteworthy people of France. At one of our meetings we read an English trans- lation of Rostand’s play, “Cyrano de Bergerac”. Games like “packing grandfather’s trunk” help to fix in our minds words we have learned. Spell downs in which each pupil represents a letter of the alphabet have proved very entertaining. When the word is pronounced we arrange our- selves so as to spell the word correctly. In our circle we have both first and second year French students. SPANISH CLUB This is the first year that Spanish has been offered in the Downers Grove High School. A great deal of interest has been shown not only in the language but also in things pertaining to Spain and Latin America. The greater part of the students enrolled in the two Spanish classes became members of the “Circulo Espanol . or Spanish Club, which was organized in Septem- ber. The club meets only once a month. Sev- eral meetings were devoted to a study of some of the chief products of Latin America. Very interesting and instructive talks were given about the production of coffee, rubber, tagus. verba mate, pearls, nitrates, chicle, chocolate and other products. At one of our meetings we had an opportunity to drink “verba mate”, a kind of tea used extensively in South America. The verba mate was obtained from the Brazilian consul in Chicago. Very interesting reports were made about the raising of alpacas, cattle and horses. We were interested in learning that Swift and Company have a packing plant in Buenos Aires which is even better equipped than their packing house in Chicago. From the Pan American Union we have secured slides showing typical scenes in Argentina. These pictures gave us a good idea of Argentina's leading cities with their wide avenues and beautiful public buddings and also showed us something of the life of the “gauclio” or cowboy, and the “haciendas” or large country estates so common in Argentina. One of our most interesting meetings was held at the home of Lonnie and Mayta Palmer. At this meeting Mayta Palmer, in Spanish costume, showed us several typical Spanish dances. This year we have had to use English in our programs, but next year we hope to know so much that we can have our meetings entirely in Spanish. ONE HUNDRED THREE GIRLS’ ATHLETIC ASSOCIATION D” CLUB ONE HUNDRED FOUR THE CAULDRON G. A. A. The G. A. A. got into action on September 17, 1931, when they held their first meeting, electing the following officers: President...........Dorothv Houseman Vice- president..........Jean Mil 1 sap Secretary.................Edna Marwitz Treasurer................Oline Koerner On the eleventh of December, fourteen girls, after having worked hard to earn 1CX) points, were initiated into the organization. These points have to be earned in three different sports. The girls play endball, basketball, volleyball, base! all, and many other interesting games. Miss Parsons had as her assistants this year. Eleanor Hoehn as head-of-sports. and Lois Henderson as coach of basketball. Both of these girls were very efficient in performing their tasks. The usual Christmas party was held, and even Santy. though it was a little bit early, decided to drop in and see the “goings-on”. He presented everyone with a big candy cane. Dancing was enjoyed by all. At Christmas, a group of the girls went to the old people's home at Winfield where they entertained with singing and dancing. The gala affair, known as the G. A. A. spring dance, will l e held in April. Then the girls receive their numerals and awards for engaging in various sports, and one girl from the Senior Class is honored by having her name on the G. A. A. cup. Sarah Moore was given this honor last year. Large D’s are awarded to the girls who earn l(XX) points, and small ones to those who have earned 650. D” CLUB For many years an organization known as the “D” Club has existed among the lettermen of our school, but not until 1931 was it formally organized. A committee was appointed to draw up a document, known as the “Constitution of the ‘D’ Club”, which contains the rules and regulations of the club. All boys of the Downers Grove High School who have won the letter “D” in athletics are eligible to membership in the organization. Boys who have earned “Q” League, Freshman. Man- ager, or Cheerleader letters are considered honor- ary members. Any member of the club who does anything detrimental to the best interests of the school or the “D” Club are dropped from the membership of the club. The aim of the club is to train its members to become good school citizens. Each member must see that the honor of the “D” is preserved at all times. The entire club is responsible for the sale of tickets and for the good behavior of all spectators of the athletic contests. The officers of the “D” Club are: president. Herman Broeker; vice-president, John Eickemeyer; and secretary-treasurer, Perry Willits. Mr. Johnson, the manager of athletics, is the sponsor of this association. With the help of these leaders the club is doing a great deal to promote good, clean sportsmanship in the Downers Grove High School.

Our present roll includes twenty-six members. Mr. Wolfe is our Faculty advisor. We don’t expect to turn out a lot of first class radio operators, but we want to give the members a general working knowledge of radio. We have the satis- faction of seeing some of our members well advanced toward licenses. We have interesting talks on various phases of radio, experimental work, set building, code practice, and other interesting activities. We have good times at all the meetings. THE RIFLE CLUB The Downers Grove High School Rifle Club was organized in March, 1930. We joined the National Rifle Association Junior Rifle Corps and received our charter April 17, 1930. Our officers for March, 1930-March, 1931, were as follows: Instructor...........................K. A. Montgomery President...................................Edward Jones Vice-president............................James Godbold Secretary-treasurer.........................George Salt Executive Officer........................Howard Swanson With the beginning of the school term ’30-’31 we reorganized, with the following changes: Instructor....................................F. C. Daigh Executive Officer.............................John Canty We have a very good range at our disposal, it being the property of a senior organization in town. The club welcomes girl members and is slowly increasing to a powerful place in the school. Following is a list of members for the school term ending in ’31 : Margretta Anderson Charles Burns John Canty Elinor Curtis Howard Dill Marshall Eshbaugh Ben Groves Bill Groves Nalley Hall Charles Harness Donald Jensen Edward Jones Robert Jones Jack Lindstrom Walter Luvblad Edward Murphy W illiam Murphy DeWitte Nelson Paul I Waff Walter Pfaff Isadore Pollack James Rouse Henry Shannon Louis Schultz Walter Taylor Jens Vimtrup William Wander ONE HUXDKKD SEVEN AULDRON THE C CHEERLEADERS Good-bye, dear old 1). G. H. S. Wc are leaving you for better or for worse. It is our turn to pass on and let someone else fill our places. W e have enjoyed our work as cheerleaders and have tried to please everyone, sometimes succeeding and sometimes failing. Our support from the student body and the Faculty has been wonderful, and we wish to thank everyone. We are leaving four members for our school. We have trained them and we have the highest faith in their ability to carry on. We are leaving one last wish and that is that the school will continue to support its cheerleaders in the future as they have in the past. So we leave you with nine rails for Downers. Answer: We. the Faculty and students of I). G. H. S.. wish, in turn, to thank the cheerleaders. Wc are going to miss their familiar voices in the assemblies and at the games. We have no doubt as to the quality of cheerleaders thev are leaving us. Wre are sure the new members. Charlotte Baron, Eleanor Mullins, ‘‘Duke’' Kramer, and Eddie Pfaflf, will prove worthy of their teachers. Doris lost her partner. Helen Miskelly, at the beginning of the year but she has fulfilled her job faithfully to the last. Donald Jensen has been very busy in the sport world this year but he, too, has kept our school ringing with cheers. Harold Timme was given Eddie Cline’s place to fill last year and as far as we are concerned he has done it. They have all helped our teams pull out of many a tight place with their hearty cheering, so again we thank them with “Good work, cheerleaders”. 'ONE HUNDRED EIGHT THE CAULDRON THE HIGH SCHOOL ATHLETIC ASSOCIATION The first meeting of the Downers Grove High School Athletic Association was held on September 21. 1930. The purpose of this meeting was to organize the association for the coming year. President..............................Edmund Rassweiler Vice-president.............................I erry Willits Secretary-treasurer.....................Peggy Anderson The total number of student tickets sold was 198, and there were many adult tickets sold which helped the financial condition of the association. Before the first game was played our cheerleaders had been chosen. They are Doris Hoagland, Eleanor Mullins, Charlotte Baron. Harold Timme, Donald Jensen. W illiam Cramer. Edwin Pfaflf, and Harry Pease. These eight kept the student body plenty “peppy” during the ensuing year. The coaches made their decisions for managers at the beginning of the season and everyone agrees that they made a perfect choice in Daniel Hitchcock. Albert Reiman, Eskil Olson and Edwin Pfaff. At the close of a successful football season, the association began the basket- ball campaign. A meeting was held on November 14. 1930. Edmund Rassweiler presided. Pledges for basketball tickets were passed out and anyone wishing to join the organization was at liberty to do so. 'The basketball season was an astounding success. Two hundred eighty-seven student tickets were sold, and adult tickets were very much in demand. Mr. Her, superintendent of our school, is an active supporter of the associa- tion and tries to do everything that will in any way help the school standing. Mr. Johnson and Mr. Mahr. co-workers in the association, keep an accurate check on the financial condition and try new methods of putting zest into the students. Mr. Cressey and Mr. Walsh, the coaches, set fine examples of good sports- manship and every fellow follows them. The student officers do their share of the work, too. This has been a very successful year and the hope of the school is that each year will be as prosperous for the Athletic Association as this one has been. ONE HUNDRED TEX THE CAULDRON THE COACHES Mr. Walsh has been our coach for three years. He has always devoted all of his time and experience to put- ting out the best of teams; however, he has not been quite as successful as we are sure he will be in the near future. Mr. Walsh is quite an ath lete too; he can give most of the boys a run for their money in almost any sport. His winning ways and great experience are an asset to any school. Mr. Cressev is our new lightweight coach. He came from Arlington Heights, and has a fine record. He has continued his good work here, and we feel sure that he will build some champs out of our lightweights. He has already made a very good begin- ning. He can be referred to as a great man of little stature. OXK HUNUKlvIl ki.i-vi:x THE CAULO MANAGERS Managers this year were Daniel Hitchcock, Albert Reiman, Eskil Olson, and Eddie PfafT. Hitchcock and Keiman had the important job of rubbing and massaging all of the boys’ aches and pains. Eskil Olson took care of the towels, which is a very hard job. Pfaff took care of the footballs and not one was lost. Most people do not realize how much time the managers spend at their work. They have to stay until both the lightweights and heavyweights have been taken care of. ONE HUNHRKI' TWELVE THE HEAVYWEIGHTS On tin first day of school more than ninety boys reported for football prac- tice. After a couple of weeks the boys traveled to Wheaton to play a night game. As a whole the game was rather slow, since it was so early in the season, game. The heavies took the short end of the score, losing 19 to 7. They showed their passing ability by completing three long passes for their one touchdown. Downers Grove’s first home game of the season resulted in a 20 to 0 win over Argo. Abner scored two touchdowns and Broeker scored on a pass. The heavies went to Riverside and played a heavier team. Downers led at the half 6 to 0. Broeker scoring on an cnd-around play. In the second half Reese intercepted a pass and ran eighty yards for the touchdown, with the aid of some excellent blocking. Riverside launched a passing attack and made one touchdown, but it was not enough. Downers Grove, 12; Riverside, 7. The next Saturday a confident Red and White team from Hinsdale met defeat at the hands of the scrapping heavies of D. G. H. S. Reese again inter- cepted a pass and ran for a touchdown. Hinsdale pushed a touchdown over in the fourth quarter. Then Downers started a brilliant march that did not end until Eddy took it over for the winning touchdown. Downers Grove, 12; Hinsdale, 6. The next week the boys went to Wheaton to play a night game with Glen- bard. Downers lost 7 to 6. Schutt picked up a blocked punt and ran for the Pu: pie and White touchdown. The try for the point after touchdown failed. Glenbard scored on a “fluke” pass and plunged over for the extra point. The following Saturday the league-leading York team came to our gridiron. York won 19 to 0. The Purple couldn’t get going and their passes did not click. The boys journeyed to West Chicago the next Saturday. The heavies scored their one touchdown in the second quarter. Wego tied the score at the half 6 to 6. Then the fellows took the ball down near the ego goal line a couple of times but could not put it over. In the fourth period West Chicago put over the winning touchdown. Wego, 12; I). G. H. S.. 6. The last game was played at home against the Maine gridders. The Seniors, playing their last game, played well, but the boys only made two touchdowns to Maine’s four. Score: Maine, 24; I). G. II. S.. 13. ONE HUNDRED THIRTEEN THE CAULDRON ORVAL ABNER— Ah’ was a fast and hard-hitting fullback, who will be hard to re- place next year. LAWRENCE WESTERBURG— Westy played a hard, clean game at tackle. DONALD STUMP— Don” played tackle, often breaking through and stopping the op- ponents for a loss. ARTHUR D REGAN- “Ecjah” was another boy who knew his football as a back field man. CAROL HUSTON was a scrapping and aggressive guard. RANKIN' KAUT—Rankin is an end who will be back to do bis stuff next year. • ink hi'nuked fourteen THE CAULDRON ROBERT DRESSLER—“Bob” played guard and played it very well. SHAFER A HALT played guard rml did a good job of it. LEE BEARDSLEY showed bis football ability as an end this fall. RUSSELL REESE— Russ” was the best broken-field runner we had. He was chosen all-conference halfback on the mythical team. JOHN CANTY—“Red” was a backfield man who could fill in well at any position. HERBERT SCHMIDTKE—“Herb” gave a fine showing of himself at the end position. ONE HUNDRED FIFTEEN THE C GLEN ANDRUS— Red was a )ii ht man but lie played well in the backfield. BURTON HEARTT Burt was guard who was able to stop them right on the line of scrimmage. Y 11.1 1 AM ELLIOT Bill’ is a tackle who will be back in his old position next year. HERMAN BROKKER- Hcrmie” was an end who certainly could run and catch passes. ARNOLD SCHUTT— Amy” was the boy who put the fight in cur line. He was a tackle. CLARENCE EDDY— Babe” played a consistent game at halfback and could always be depended on for a needed yard or two. ONE HUNDRED SIXTEEN THE CAULDRON RAYMOND ART ABAS Y—“Art” was a fine center and will be a great asset for the team for two more years. FRED BEANKErNBURG—“Freddie ' was a tackle who could always he depended on. CONRAD CHESTER—“Connie” called the signals and did the punting both equally well. ONE HUNDRED SEVENTEEN THE LIGHTWEIGHTS The lights played their first game at Wheaton in a night game. The lights continually threatened to score, but the best they could do was a safety. How- ever. this factor was enough to win the game 2 to 0 for the Purple. Next Saturday the lightweights triumphed over Argo 0 to 0. The ponies scored in the first quarter and held their opponents in check for the rest of the game. The boys went to Riverside and played a hard game. The breaks were against them, however, and they lost 12 to 0. The following week Hinsdale came to town. At the beginning of the game a Hinsdale kick was blocked and Ocstmann scored 6 points. The rest of the game was rather uneventful and the Purple and White kept their 6 to 0 lead throughout the game. The team played Glenbard the next week. This was another night game, and the boys were handicapped by the rain and mud, and neither side was able to score. The game ended in a tie. 0 to 0. The Green and W hite gridmen from York were the lightweights' next op- ponents. Oestmann ran the kickoff back to York’s 30 yard line, Franks took it to the 10 yard line, and Willits took it over for the touchdown. Will its plunged over for the extra point. The Purple held York for the rest of the game, winning 7 to 0. The ponies then journeyed to West Chicago and played a hard game for nothing. The boys threatened the goal three times, but were unable to push it over. I). G. H. S., 0; Wego, 0. In the last game of the season the Purple faced Maine. They looked bad for the first quarter. Maine scoring one touchdown and making the extra point. The lights got going though, and before the game was over Maine had the short end of a 13 to 7 score to take back to Des Plaines. o.N'K HUNDRKI) KlC.llTKKN THE CAULDRON RAY KELLOGG played a hard, fast game at end. ALFRED CONTI was one of the guards who was right there to plug up the openings in the line. JACK MATHEWS is a Sophomore guard who should make good heavyweight material next year. ROBERT BURNS played his third year as a lightweight and was a great asset to the team. VINCENT FRANK played the halfback position and was an exceptionally-good broken- field runner. ARTHUR POZDOL was a boy who could play almost any position in the backficld well. DONALD JENSEN must have been the smallest halfback in the conference, but that did not bother Donnie''. ONE HUNDRED NINETEEN THE CAULDRON DE W''LTTE NELSON was a tackle who was there, fighting hard all the time. WALTER OESTMANN was a fast and shifty fullback. He’s just a Sophomore, too. GORDON CAVANAUGH showed his ability as an end and played well. BARTLE HERRICK was an end who played the position very well. THOMAS CON NIT was a halfback who was always putting all he had into the game. FREDERICK XEfLL was another boy who did his stuff at end. ONE HUNDRED TWENTY THE CAULDRON FRANK WANDER played tackle as well as any coach could wish. EDWARD MURPHY was a center who was one of the strongest men in the line. HAROLD TIM ME played halfback very well, even though he was rather light. ROBERT SWEENEY played the end position with lots of vim and vigor. JOHN McALPINE could always he depended upon to do his duty at halfback. PERRY WII.I.ITS was our quarterback and he also captained the team. ONE HUNDRED TWENTY-ONE HEAVIES For tin first game of the season the heavies played very well and defeated Argo by a score of 23-14. Next week the fellows went to Naperville. The team could not get going, and they dropped a rather fast game. 26-20. Our next game was played at W est Chicago. The team played hard and W’ego led at the halt. They came back and played hard, blit the final count was 24-23 in favor of W’ego. The following week W heaton visited the home court. Roth teams played a slow game, and at the end of the game the score was 17-10 in favor of the W’heatonians. Then came the alumni game with its usual acrobats. However, they had a good team in spite of this fact, and trimmed the heavies 23-18. During the Chnstmas vacation the Purple attended the Stagg tournament in Chicago. As their luck goes, they drew Undblom and lost 27 5. Lindblom won the tournament. A few days later the heavyweight squad went to Geneva. They played a good game, but again took the short end of the score. 21 13. Next week the Riverside team came to town. The heavies held down the Riverside team for a half, but in the second half. Jeschc got going and at the gun the score was 29 8 in favor of Riverside. The heavies played their next game at York. This was a close game and it was hard to lose a game like this by just two points, the score being 20 18. The very next night the other Green and W hite team in the conference from Glenbard came to Downers. The heavies at last got going and at the shot of the gun. 1). G. H. S. was ahead 18-12. The fol’owlng week. Maine visited our court. They played a fast hard game, and at the end of the game the score was still tied. After two overtimes our heavies came out on top 22-21. for their second conference win. Then came our game with Hinsdale. It looked dark for the team the first part of the game, but at the end of the game the score was 14 to 12 in our favor with a Hinsdale man having two free throws to shoot. However, he missed both free throws and again we trimmed our rivals. ONK HI NDKKI TWENTY-TWO After just a day’s rest, Wcgo came here. The heavies were out to avenge their one point defeat, and they really did avenge it by winning 21-15. The boys went to Wheaton the next week. They proved that the first time they were beaten was just a bad night. They evened scores up by a win of 16-8. It was their fifth consecutive victory. The following week the heavies went to Riverside. The first half of the game showed superb guarding by both teams, for at the half the score was 5-2 in favor of Riverside. Again Jesche broke away for ten baskets, and it was too much for our heavies. Score: 32-11 in favor of Riverside. Our second game with York was played here. The heavies did not click on their plays and they couldn’t find the hoop often enough to win. York, 28; D. G. H. S., 19. Glcnbard, with a revised team, played a fast, close guarding game, and the heavies lost a hard game to the Glenbard basketeers. 27-19. The next night the Purple went to Maine. They fought until the final second, but they could not overcome the 15-7 lead which the Blue and White had rolled up in the first half. Maine, 24; D. G. H. S., 20. Hinsdale came to town the next week, and the Red and White won a slow game, balancing the count on the basketball court, 18-14. THE DISTRICT AND SECTIONAL TOURNAMENTS The Downers Grove heavies drew Riverside for their first game of the tournament, which was held at York. Riverside-Brookfield, West Suburban Conference champions, was the favorite to win the tournament. But the boys, tired of having the “dope” against them all the time, turned the tables on the strong Riverside quintet. The first half ended 12 to 12. Riverside had already lost some of its coolness and confidence. In the second half the heavies got going and kept up their good playing until the final gun. Score: Downers. 31 ; Riverside, 27. Riverside played a good game, but the heavies just outplayed them all around. After one day’s rest the Downers boys played Arlington Heights. The score was close at the end of the first half. In the beginning of the second half the heavies made five consecutive baskets in less than three minutes, and the final score was D. G. H. S.. 24; Arlington Heights, 18. The very next afternoon the Purple team faced York. It was a very close game, but there was no stopping the heavies, for they came out on top again, winning 25 to 24. This victory gave them the right to play Glenbard in the finals that same evening. This also proved to be a hard, close game. First it looked bad for one team, then for the other. But again the heavies won out in the last few minutes of the game. Score: D. G. H. S.. 22; Glenbard, 19. The heavies took two lightweights with them. Bus Franks and Donnie Jensen. Bus proved to be a very good bolster to the heavies as a regular. He had his eye on the basket practically in every game. Their success in the district tour- nament was due to the perfect cooperation of all fellows. This is the first time in history that Downers Grove has ever won a district tournament. Everybody in the school and town can be proud of each and every one of the fellows on the team. We should also be very proud to have a coach like Mr. Walsh. We know he had his heart and his deepest interest in each game. The next week the team went to Joliet to play in the sectional tournament. The fellows played Waterman High School in their first game. Waterman led by a few points throughout the entire game. The Purple basketeers just couldn’t make them go through the hoop, no matter how hard they tried. Final score: D. G. H. S., 20; Waterman. 26. However, the boys need not l e ashamed of any part of the game, and Downers Grove can still be proud of its basketball team and the trophy they won. ONE HUNDRED TWENTY-THREE THE CAULDRON KICK EM EVER was another of the forwards. Although a latecomer to the squad, lie proved himself to be one of the “scrappiest men on the fleor at any time during the games. RASSWEILER was our center this year. 11 is height and ability to handle the ball were a great asset to the team. RIGSBEK. who is just a Sophomore, played forward. He has done well in keeping up the basketball reputation of the Rigsbees. EDDY played both guard and forward as well as any person could wish. He was fast and was a sure shot under the basket. ABNER played back guard. He was always in the midst of the battle and again kept up his reputation as one of the best guards in the conference. ONE HUNDRED TWENTY-FOUR THE CAULDRON LIGHTWEIGHTS The lights started off their season with a very acceptable decision. They beat Argo lights 29-22. The ponies next played at Naperville. Even though the- Naperville hoys had the advantage of height, the Purple won 32-16. The following week the lights went to West Chicago. They couldn’t get going and they lost a hard fought game 13-11. The lightweights played a fast game against W heaton, and had no trouble sending their opponents back home defeated 23-7. During the Christmas vacation, the lights took on Geneva. They got going slowly, and at the end of the game led by a score-of 17-12. The game with Riverside was a real battle, but towards the end of the game Riverside forged ahead and was out in front at the final gun. R. B. II .S., 24; D. G. H. S., 17. The lights really showed they were contenders for the title when they trimmed Glenbard 18-16 on our home floor. Maine came to town feeling fine, but the ponies sent them home with an uncomfortable defeat. Score: I). G. H. S.. 25; Maine, 18. The lightweights set a very good example for the heavies by winning from Hinsdale 24-14. It was their fourth consecutive win. The Purple continued their winning streak by getting even with Wego for their first defeat by trimming the boys from West Chicago 17-6. Next week Wheaton broke the string of victories by inflicting a 17-15 beating upon the lights. The game with Riverside was a battle for the championship, and the Purple and White boys, try as they might, lost a bitter battle 30-24. Still angered by the Riverside defeat, the lights took it out on the York boys and ran away from them 40-21. In the Glcnl ard game the lights were really put out of the top notch place. The Glenbard team couldn’t miss the basket no matter how they shot; while the lights couldn’t get enough shots. Glenbard. 23; I). G. II. S., 18. Maine, however, was an easy victim, the Purple winning by a score of 26-15. The Downers Grove lightweights ended a very successful season by taking a fast game from Hinsdale’s ponies, 30-14. ONE HUNDRED TWENTY-FIVE THE CAULDRON RAY KELLOGG, a guard, was one of the most consistent players the lights had. He was always on the job and played like a veteran. DONNIE JENSEN played forward. He was one of the cleverest little men in the con- ference. and he will he missed next year. BURNS, another guard, played a good game after he broke away from the clutches of the monster, ineligibility. KAYO OESTMANN proved to be one of the mainstays of the lights. He played a hard and fast game at the center position. BOGF.TT showed that he will be a good performer next year by his work this year. BUS” FRANKS was one high scorer, whom any team would like tp have. Bus per- formed at the guard position. ONE HUNDRED TWENTY-SIX THE CAULDRON ZARN was well known for his ability to recover the ball from the backboard and then put it through the hoop himself. CARROTS’' MILLER was without a doubt the smallest fellow in the lightweight divi- sion. However, his size did not handicap his playing in the least. “CHIEF” WANDER was a forward, too. He was a good passer and could always be depended on for his share of the points. PERRY WILLITS played guard and was always able to give a good account of himself against any team. ONE HUNDRED TWENTY-SEVEN THE CAULDRON Q” LEAGUE 'Phis year Mr. Daigh coached the Freshman team. They won all hut two of their O” League games. They also ended their season in second place.

The Coach” immediately put the boys to work running around in the gym and as soon as the good weather arrived they were all in fairly good condition. The squad journeyed to Elmhurst College for the first important meet. Here they scored 8 points. They also scored the same number of points in the Elgin District Meet. In a triangular meet here. East Aurora scored 79 points; Hinsdale counted up 24; and Downers was right behind with 23 points. I), G. H. S. also won three dual meets. They won over Riverside 72] 2 to 491 ; they ran away from Naperville by a 91 to 31 score; and they trimmed I linsdale 60 to 26. The conference meet was held at Downers Grove this year. It rained almost all of the day of the meet, and it was far from being an ideal track day. How- ever. the squad took fifth place with 19 points. Nygard took first in the high jump, and Herb Oestmann took first in the pole vault. Abner, Eddy. Oestmann, Kester, Nygard. Bateman. Broeker and Schutt were the most reliable point-getters. The O League squad had a fairly successful season. They won more than fifty per cent of their meets and placed fourth in the Conference Q” � League Meet. TRACK RECORDS FOR 1930 100 Yards—Bateman.

ONE HUNDRED THIRTY END BALL A new and yet not so new sport was introduced into girls’ athletics this year—endball, a type of preparatory basketball. The ball is in play after the tip-off, and the object of the game is to score a goal by making a pass from a forward to an end without its being touched by the opponents. This calls for alertness physically as well as mentally. Twelve players constitute a team: four forwards, four guards, and four ends. Because of the short time, the process of elimination had to be used in play- ing the games. In the game between the Seniors and Juniors, the Seniors put them out of the race by a score of 15-7. The Sophs treated the Freshmen in a similar manner with a score of 24-9. This meant that the struggle for first place was to be between the Seniors and Sophs. The Seniors settled the dispute by defeating them by a very decisive score of 20-7. thereby adding another cham- pionship to their already lengthy list.

Eois Henderson was given the position of coach of basketball. Her duty was to help coach the girls and she also played center on the Senior team. This year the girls played two-division basketball. There are six girls on a team and the lloor is divided into two playing zones. It was necessary to play some of the games at the Longfellow School. The final game was played in the high school gym. The high point players are as follows: Seniors, Edna Marwitz. 24; Juniors, Eleanor Gibson. 17: Sophomores, Vivian Frank, 12: Freshmen, Aloise Dobson, 5. Of course we can’t tell how many points the guards made because they were not allowed to shoot for baskets. We can’t count the baskets which the opposing team members kept them from making, but our credit is given to them. TEAMS Freshmen Centers Olive Carlson, Grace Putter.
