Davis, is employed in the Chicago post office; his duties there are those of federal post office inspector. Mrs. Margery Barber, the vice-president of the hoard has long been inter- ested in many civic affairs of this community. Mr. W. E. Herrick, as secretary, has many duties, one of them being the care of all of the school funds. For many years. Mr. Herrick has owned and operated a nursery here in Downers Grove. The other two members are Mr. Win. W. Henderson who holds a position with the Burlington Hailroad and Mr. T. 0. Westhafer, a developing engineer for the Western Electric Company. Each member of the hoard has his own duties to perform such as hiring teachers, taking care of school supplies, etc. The hoard has been co-operative in its work with the high school superintendent. Mr. DeWolf. and deserves much credit for helping to keep the school in operation during such times of stress when many schools are closing. Such a condition proves that the members are capable and willing workers. T n The 1933 CAULDRON GEORGE E. DeWOLF Superintendent of Schools CLARENCE W. JOHNSON Principal of High School Et+r+n CHARLOTTE D. ANDERSEN Dean of Girls The 1933 CAULDRON D. G. H. S. The Downers Grove Community high school is located in Downers Grove Township, District 99. The present school and campus, surrounded by lawns, trees, ami shrubbery, and covering four square blocks, was completed in 1928. There is a large parking space, practice field, combined football ami track field, and tennis courts forming a campus of wbicb any school could be justly proud. Upon examining the records it was discovered that the graduating class of 1879. the first class to complete high school in Downers Grove, numbered five: one boy, Frank S. Puffer, and four girls, Cora H. Woods, Mary K. Briggs, Abbie M. Andrews, and I.ula II. Stanley. Now, after fifty-four years the graduating class of 1938 numbers fifty-five boys and sixty-one girls. The enrollment in the other classes for this year was 258 freshmen, 190 sophomores ami 161 juniors: there were thirty members in the faculty, a principal, superintendent, ami two secretaries. In order to graduate, every student is required to have certain units, namely, two units of mathematics, two units of history, four units of English, one unit of general science, ami one unit of physical training. To obtain the required amount of academic credits, students have a choice of many courses among wbicb are commercial courses offering commercial law, economics, stenography, typing, and bookkeeping: advanced mathematics with solid geometry and algebra: other sciences, such as biology, chemistry, and physics; the foreign languages of French, Latin, and Spanish: architectural ami mechanical drawing and woodwork; three ph ases of home economics, cooking, sewing, art. ami design. A pleasing variety of music courses is also offered. In the way of vocal music there arc boys’ and girls’ special choruses; intrumental music consists of the orchestra, a military and a concert band, and various instrumental ensembles of four or five pieces. To qualify as a sophomore a student must have four credits; as a junior, at least seven; as a senior, eleven. Sixteen or more credits are necessary to graduate, fifteen being academic and one extra-curricular. All major subjects receive one full credit a year, semester subjects merit one-half a credit; physical education and all music, a quarter credit a year. A variety of English courses for the four years is offered. The first year includes a review of grammar, composition, and the reading of classics such as the Lady of the Lake” and Ivanhoe”; the second year takes up the study of American Literature and the fundamentals of the English language; third, a review of twelve centuries of English poetry and prose; and fourth, a choice of two of the three courses: journalism, the study of newspapers and news- writing: modern literature, both English and American: and rhetoric. Besides the regular English work, a three weeks’ course in public speaking is given once every semester. Prior to this year, class periods were 45 minutes in length, which necessitated double periods in some studies to meet the state requirements of so many hours a semester. This year, as an experiment, all classes lasted one hour, which meant a lengthening by twenty minutes of the school day. Under the new system half of the period should he devoted to class recitation and the other half to study. 'Phis enables students to partly prepare the next «lay’s assignment while under the teacher's supervision when questions can he answered in class. T write The 1933 CAULDRON Every fall each class elects its officers, and during the year conducts meet- ings to discuss class business, parties, and other undertakings. Two or three teachers act as an advisory body for each class, each teacher being in charge of some extra-curricular activity, such as club organizations, athletics, and dramatics. The high school itself, a three story structure, is composed of seventeen class rooms including three science laboratories, two commercial rooms, one wood-work room and two home economic rooms: two teachers’ rest rooms, four student rest rooms, two deans’ offices and the superintendent’s office: a clinic, a freshman study hall, a library, a music room, two gym dressing rooms, and a large combined assembly hall and gymnasium. The auditorium has a seating capacity of 285 in the balcony and 500 on tin main floor. Many activities of the townspeople as well as of the high school take place here. The gymnasium, one of the largest in this district, has a fully equipped basketball floor. When not in use for athletics, it serves as a stage which, hv means of a cyclorama curtain, can he adjusted to a desirable size: or as a dance floor for school parties. Both stage and auditorium have unusual lighting systems, with a “major” switch hoard controlling the stage lights, ami a large 1000 watt spot light in the movie booth. Varied and interesting assembly programs are conducted every Friday morn- ing for students, faculty, and visitors. These programs are in the nature of educational addresses or movies, professional and home talent entertainments, with the weekly pep session following each program. Every room is in use at all times. The cooking room becomes at noon an efficient cafeteria with tables and chairs set up in the halls to accommodate an average of 200 pupils: of course their number varies with the condition of the weather. The majority of those who eat their lunches at school bring all or part from home, some huv their entire meal in the cafeteria, hut others merely supplement their lunch with some hot dish. This year there were two lunch periods, one from 11:26 to 12:26, the other from 12:29 to 1:29. Miss Dooley, the school nurse, is in charge of the high school clinic and of all the health work in the grammar schools. Her field covers a great deal of territory, for she is not only the nurse, hut also the doctor’s assistant while health examinations are being conducted. She files all examination blanks, makes personal calls on people who are ill at home, reports pupils who are not physically well enough to keep up with their work, investigates homes that have hail some disease, and as far as she is able to, checks them. The Fathers’ Council, an organization of the fathers of high school students, takes an active part and interest in behalf of the hoys in school. The council elects officers annually, who conduct meetings every fourth Tuesday of the month. Speakers who have unusual topics are often secured to address both the fathers and their sons; at other meetings, some of the faculty have explained various parts of the curriculum. It is with reluctance yet pride that the class of 1933 leaves its Alma Mater, I). G. H. S. However they sincerely hope that all classes following will enjoy, benefit, and cherish 1). G. II.

The 1933 CAULDRON Class cf 1933 March 15, 1933. I am indeed gratified to have this opportunity to extend my congratulations to the class of 1933. Graduation from High School represents an achievement by each member of the class. Diligent and painstaking work has been performed. The class should be proud of the fact that it has not only com- pleted the required courses but that it has completed them in an exceptionally creditable manner. Fine scholarship, co- operative attitude, and excellent school spirit have been out- standing characteristics of your class. You have furnished splendid leadership for the classes which are following you. You have provided inspiration, ability, and talent in the class- room and in the various school activities. Your interest, will- ingness. and judgment have been of great value to the faculty. In return you have received the values of essential informa- tion. broadened social contacts, trained minds, fine ideals and some understanding of bow to apply these to practical life. This understanding will increase for each one, as the years go by. depending upon the wisdom with which each makes use of these values. Future success and accomplishment awaits each one of you if you continue the industry, loyalty and other traits of character you have shown in your high school career. Resolve to take with you as you leave Downers Grove High School the ideal of being a valuable citizen to your community and to your country. My best wishes shall accompany each individual member of tbe class. Sincerely yours. Superintendent of Schools.

Such were the commands given to one hundred forty green hut determined freshmen as they marched somewhat bewildered into tlie Downers Grove High School in September 1929. In these unfamiliar surroundings many inexperienced freshies wandered into the wrong classrooms, struggled vainly with locker combinations, and otherwise amused the sophomores who were not far enough removed from that state to forget their own humiliation at such occurrences. The year slipped by somehow, the superior officers, Raymond Artahasv, Hazel Easley, Mary Johnson, Tom Slanec and Vir- ginia Prescott aided by the friendly advice of Miss Munson, Miss Frush, Mr. Montgomery, and Mr. Camp, proving themselves able leaders. By the spring of 1930, these timid freshmen had begun to ignore the taunts of the upperclass- men and succeeded in giving two enjoyable afternoon parties. The next fall, with a decidedly grown-up feeling, these recent freshies again entered D.G.H.S. as “unsquelchable sophomores. Commander-in-chief Her pre- sented their advisors for the year, Miss Brown, Miss North. Miss Howland and Mr. Daigh. For leaders they chose Dale Knarr, Helen Darnley. Ellis Saxton, and John Me Alpine, who prepared for them many interesting campaigns. The treas- ury being unusually full, they were able to have two parties—this year they were allowed to have them at night—featuring dancing to good orchestras, bridge, and vaudeville entertainments. Not yet satisfied with the heights attained, the sophs constantly admired the juniors and looked forward with impatience to the time when they could give a big banquet and prom for the seniors. Time passed so swiftly that before they realized it. they were juniors with the long-awaited opportunities directly before them. The first campaign, “Skid- ding, the first annual junior play in Downers Grove, was made successful hv a capable and talented cast as well as a unique plot. The second campaign, the prom, was a true battle, the main opponent being Old Man Depression himself. He was completely conquered, as a peek into the gymnasium on the fateful night would have shown. The decorations wrere in accordance with the prevailing interest of late winter and spring, namely, the Washington bi-centennial. The miniature southern plantation with its stately mansion was a scene of vivid, colorful beauty and everyone seemed to he imagining himself in Old Virginia. The executives of this year were—advisors. Miss Yates, Miss Frush, Mr. Nelson, and Mr. Daigh: student aids—John McAlpine. Hazel Easley, Raymond Artahasv, and Helen Darnley. With three years behind them, these soldiers entered the school for the fourth time as “high and mighty” seniors. Mrs. Andersen, Miss Sheldon, Mr. Johnson and Mr. Malir along with the officers. George Heartt, Tom Slanec, Fozabell Cline, and Civile Rigsbec headed the division, 'flic first excitement was caused by the choice of the cast for “The Youngest,” a play which was even more unusual than “Skidding.” After the two record-making performances were over, all attention was centered upon the second main event of the year, the annual Senior Carnival. All classes contributed their hit to the success of this enterprise which financed the publication of the Cauldron. The month of May. the last month of their high school life, furnished them with five brilliant features, namely, the prom. Senior recognition, baccalaureate, class night, and finally, graduation.

Extra! The “Class of 34” has started on its cross country flight! Though it was an event to be headlined, as usual with beginners, they were humbled (?) by the ridicule of the three squadrons ahead of them. Sally Baxter. Robert Younts, Ben Groves, Lucille Lundgren, and Alice Frazier were the first pilots, ami Miss Frusli, Miss Duke. Miss Reuther, and Mr. Cressev were the flying instructors. Slowly they forged ahead, at first not making much progress hut gaining speed am! altitude as they grew more accustomed to the work. As the flying grew easier, they began to gain distinction because of the success of some of the squadron in dramatic, athletic, ami scholastic ability. Their clever act at the Air Carnival also attracted a great deal of attention. In organizing for the second lap of the flight. Hubert Lacey, Alice Frazier, 'fed Shattuck, ami Harry Pease were chosen to act as pilots, while Miss Howland. M iss Brown, and Mr. Herrell were the second group of instructors. Fortune favored them this time and they had good flying weather with a high ceiling and tail winds. They no longer feared the squadrons ahead of them, and having profited hv a year’s experience they were ready to begin work eagerly. Trick flying again brought them recognition and comments, the majority of their entrants winning out. An added opportunity was presented in the form of an all school play, a large part of the cast being picked from the junior squadron. They celebrated their many successes by giving a party that was the envy of the entire flotilla. Knowing that they would he forced to fly through the storms and fogs of a financial depression it was necessary to choose a very competent group of pilots. Robert Younts. Barbara einheimer, Harry Miller, and William Rieves filled the hill to perfection. Miss Yates, Miss Frusli, Mr. Holt, and Mr. Nelson proved to he very reliable beacons and the class wishes to thank them for the help they gave. The accomplishments of this year were greater than ever ami the junior squadron was ably represented in every field. The junior play, a really clever comedy called “The Importance of Being Earnest,” was one of the highlights of the year, 'flic play, presented on February 15 and 16. was largely responsible for the swelling of the much depleted funds. As the goal of this part of the trip, the Junior Prom, approached, ami a flurry of prepara- tions began. What to feed ’em, how to decorate, and what to wear being the most pressing questions. Due to the efforts of both pilots and instructors and the splendid co-operation of the entire squadron the prom was a brilliant affair. Not until they received the scepter of leadership, the wooden spoon, did they really realize that another squadron had completed its flight and that theirs would go on, now leading the race as seniors. Their last flight promised to he one of added triumphs and greater achievements and they hope to he able to maintain tin high standard set by the many squadrons who have gone on before them, coming out with flying colors and new lists of achievements.

Quite a few of them are working and six of them are married—Elizabeth Babin, Lois Dickerson, Elreta Betterton, Char- lotte Sedgewick, Eleanor Rose and Kay Clarke! Scanning a 32 Cauldron we find that those who are attending nearby North Central are: Robert Bennett, William Groves, Erwin Sass, Charles Harness, and Anton Makar. John Capps, Wesley Eddy, William Hoerter, and Howard Swanson are Illini: Gordon Cavanagh attends Purdue; Mildred Drew and Margaret Frazier. Cornell; Allen Lacey. Illinois Wesleyan, Elinor Curtis.

Some who are going to schools nearer home are Arthur Dcegan, at Crane Junior College, Andrew Blaida at Armor Tech, Dorothy Morris at Morton Junior College, Frances Nelson at Joliet Business College, James Godbold at Bryant-Stratton, and Lcnchen Hof- stetter at Moser Business College. There are many who have conquered hardtimes and are engaged in steady or temporary jobs. Robert Dressier works at the Sinclair Gas station. Nallev Hall has part-time work at Pfaflf’s Hardware, Burton Huntley is employed at Neill's Drug store. Helen Surd and Claire Qucckboerner work at tin dime store.

Walter Ransom who contributed much of his time and talent to the Cauldron of ‘32, passed away in January. All those who knew him regretted his untimely death and the class of 1933 takes this opportunity to honor his memory. Fi ty-fii ft The ever-growing field of aer- onautics sends new types of planes soaring in the air. To supplement the major field of study prescribed by our school we hare various ac- tivities and organizations. The “hangar'' oj most of our activities is the combined assembly hall and gymnasium.

'Phis year there were twenty-six representatives in the Council, each of which were elected by the students in their seventh period classes. There was at least oik representative from each home room. Any student having a constructive idea, which lie considered worthy of consideration, could take it to the representative from his seventh period class and ask him to present it to the council. In this way every student had a chance to improve various parts of the school program. Committees assumed the responsibility of the care of lights between classes, and saw that the halls were kept clean. A reception committee welcomed visitors to assemblies and public affairs held at the high school. Many social affairs were sponsored by the council, the first being a very successful bonfire rally held during the football season. At the second affair West Chicago was entertained by members of the organization after a group of Wc-Go students had entertained Downers with a fine Assembly program. The student council is the voice of the student body and in that capacity hopes to increase its usefulness each year. Officers for the past year were: President, Raymond Artahasy; Vice President, George Barry; Secretary-Treas- urer, Marge Corson. Mrs. Andersen and Miss Yates took over the advisory duties.

National Honor Society Scholarship, Service, Leadership, and Character are the qualities of good citi- zenship that must he demonstrated for eligibility in the National Honor Society. Members arc chosen by the faculty after having been judged on these four traits of character. Fifteen per cent of the senior class may he chosen, and five per cent of the juniors. The strict requirements necessary for entrance increase the honor of membership in the organization. Ability in Scholarship is demonstrated by the earnest appliance of a student to his studies. A “B” average in all subjects must he earned to fulfill this part of the requirement. Service is shown by willingness to cooperate with the faculty and students in carrying out the plan of the school year. Courtesy and loyalty to the school must he shown at all times, in activities, studies and all other school functions. Leadership is demonstrated by successfully holding school offices and other positions of responsibility. A certain degree of initiative in class room activities which leads to higher scholarship is essentially a part of the requirement. Recognition in character may he gained by meeting individual obligations to the school promptly and completely and by demonstrating an honest spirit in the class room, as well as a spirit of cordiality and sincerity toward teachers and student associates. Qualities of personality, honesty, reliability, promptness ami achievement must be constantly demonstrated. Students who strive to build for themselves characters worthy of such an organization are destined to lives of sincere patriotism. Fifty-nine The 1933 CAI LDKON Stamp Hail Participation in student activities was greatly stimulated by the Stamp Plan which was inaugurated in September. Proof of this was evident at football and basketball games, at Iraek meets, plays and dances. Attendance records were broken at all social and athletic afTairs. 'I'liis plan was suggested and recoin mended by Mr. DeWolf. who has bad successful experience with it in a school formerly under bis supervision.’ A payment of ten cents entitles the student to a stamp book and member- ship in the Stamp Plan, and by purchasing a ten cent stamp each week there- after for twenty-four consecutive weeks the member remains eligible. Stamps were sold on Wednesday of each week in the seventh period classes. The neces- sary bookkeeping was taken care of by Mr. Mahr. Twenty-six events, including all home football and basketball games, track meets, plays, lyceum numbers, dances, band concerts and the operetta, could be attended by those members who were eligible at the time of the event. The expense of attending school activities is greatly lessened by membership in the Stamp Plan. The membership in the plan for the past year totaled six hundred and thirty. 'I'lie income from the sale of stamps was used to finance social and athletic activities during the year. Organizations were given an allowance from this fund in proportion to the kind of entertainment they sponsored.

This was one of the fourteen social events sponsored by the soeial committee this year. A costume parade featured the Hard Times dance, prizes being awarded for the best costumes. Other outstanding dances of the year were the Football and Basketball dances. Original decorations, programs, and features—together with good music—contributed to the success of th ese affairs. Excellent vaudeville started tin Carnival off to its most successful year. Music for dancing kept the crowd busy, while numerous booths furnished excitement during intermissions. The revenue from the Carnival goes toward the eost of the Cauldron. What would school he like without a social program? This exhilerating part of our school life is the result of the efforts of our soeial committee. The committee is composed of four students, one from each of the four classes, and four members of the faculty. All the social events are scheduled by the committee and. with the exception of the dub dances, the socials are all planned and executed by them.

It is easy to answer in the aflirmative when one realizes the fact that the primary purpose of education is to enhance one's appreciation for life as we come in contact with it now and in the future. Do wc come in contact with music? Is it possible to think of the radio ami speculate on future inventions increasing our means of enter- tainment and not recognize the almost constant contact existing between our- selves and music? Emphatically then, it can be said that the study of music increase one's appreciation of this enjoyable part of life, and this fact should prove it not only important hut essential. The vocal section of the music department is under the direction of Mr. Win. G. Pohlmann. It consists of classes, in which anyone who has the desire to develop his vocal ability and increase his general knowledge of music may enroll, and special organizations composed of students chosen hy the director. Among these special organizations are included the girls’ special chorus, the hoys’ special chorus and the mixed chorus. The chief function of this organiza- tion is not essentially that of supplying entertainment for various school pro- grams, but rather to continue the development of the more promising voices found in the classes.

The A Cappella t lieii The term a cappclla is a contraction of the Italian words alia cappella, wlii li means literally “in the church style.” By the expression “church style” is meant the style of singing which existed during the fourteenth, fifteenth and sixteenth centuries and means that type of choral singing which is unaccompanied. A Cap- pella singing is the most difficult and exacting choral singing so far developed, and is therefore above the ability possessed by the average chorus. It is obvious that the best talent available in high school is necessary in an organization of this type. The members are chosen by the instructor and the requirements for membership in the organization are the possession of a good voice, good musicianship, ability to read readily, accurate pitch and willing- ness to work.

True enough it did look pretty blue to George Taylor, young romancer in tin Operetta, “Once In A Blue Moon, tin music for which was com- posed hv Noble Cain, the director of the Chicago A Capella Choir. At a week-end party, George substitutes for his friend Boh Harrington, who closely resembles him. Sylvia Montgomery, a charming young lady, is attending the party and of course she captures George’s fancy. While the guests are dancing, a robbery takes place, and suspicion falls on George, forcing him to disclose his identity. Things look dark for him until the real culprits arc brought to justice.

The seniors gave two four star performances of Philip Barry’s comedy, “The Youngest,” in their auditorium on the evenings of November eighteenth and nineteenth. Excellent acting and an equally excellent script made the play one which deserves much credit. Here's a sample of the plot: Richard Winslow finds that being “the youngest” and misunderstood is no he l of roses and he constantly seeks relief from his family by writing poetry and romping with his dog. His brothers Oliver and Winslow, are continually nagging at him in vain attempts to cure his ambitions to write: this with other family quarrels brought on by cynical Augusta, clever “Muff” and Mrs. Winslow, eauses Nancy Blake to see a lovely scene of Home. Sweet Home.” Nancy col- laborates with Richard, and he finally gets the courage to assert his rights and makes the others “cat out of his hands.” THK CAST Richard Winslow Olivor Winslow Mark Winslow..

Puzzle—who is earnest? The answer to this puzzle was obtained at the presentation of Oscar Wilde’s comedy in three acts entitled The Importance of Being Earnest. ' ’Phis was the second annual junior play, ami it was presented in the auditorium on the nights of February fifteenth and sixteenth. 'I'he plot concerns a triple romance in which John Worthing and Algernon Moncriefl woo Gwendoline Fairfax and Cecily Cardew. Both girls admire the name Ernest, and both hoys represent themselves as Ernest. Trouble naturally occurs. The Reverend Canon Chasuble, D.D., who is ensnared by .Miss Prism, a spinster who is Cecily’s governess, supplies humor to the play. Gwendoline's mother does her best to marry her daughter to a man of money and social stand- ing. All complications finally break up. and a happy ending ensues.

High Life came through with flying colors this year when, on March first, it appeared as an independent, four-page news- paper. News, student opinion, a cartoon and other illustrations featured an issue which was acclaimed by faculty and students. The financial success of the paper, with the proceeds of candy sales, warranted further publishing of separate issues at intervals of two or three weeks, alternating with the usual pages in the Reporter. Another high light during the year, which was a new hut successful under- taking was the entertainment of the Glenbard staff at a pot-luck supper on Jan- uary twenty-fourth, preceding the Glenbard-Downers game. The tables were decorated with purple D's and green G s and the meal was eaten by candle light, 'flic friendly discussion that followed promoted much good-will between the two schools. 'Phis year five more members were added to the Downers Grove Chapter of Quill and Scroll, the international honorary society for high school journalists. These new members ami one of the former members were entertained by the Glenhard chapter preceding the Downers-Glenbard game. 'flic staff presented two assemblies during the year; the first one was for the purpose of explaining in detail the production of High Life. The second was in the form of a radio broadcast to announce the primary edition of the school paper. Scveniy-ina The 1933 CAULDRON Brink. Alli.on. Granger. Morrit. MrLvida. Zulu.

A new method of procedure has been established this year. Instead ol having one main club and charging flues, each class is a separate club, with its own officers. Dues have been eliminated. Meetings were held in the classes once a month. Let’s take a few minutes to attend one of these meetings. The regular busi- ness of the club has been disposed of and the members await entertainment. First a spelling bee is held, the words used being demons of the Spanish language. Following this contest, interesting reports on picturesque Spain and enchanting South America arc given by students. After examining the contents of a Spanish paper the meeting is adjourned and the students anxiously await the next meeting. A special meeting was held in March in the form of a social. I)r. A. De Luca, Brazilian Consul to the United States gave an interesting program which was followed by dancing and refreshments. When you see senores smiling shyly at the senoritas you can he certain that the Language Club dance is close at hand.

The new method of procedure adopted by the club kept it out of the clutches of the aforementioned person. Meetings were held in each class on the second Tuesday of each month. Officers were elected for each group and dues were eliminated. Have you ever attended a French Club meeting? An amusing part of the usual program is the singing of French songs. 'Phis is no small accomplishment, hut it is only one of the many activities in which the members of this cluh par- ticipated. French dialogues and plays were enacted as an aid to correct pro- nunciation. Taffy apple sales were sponsored by the cluh in order to raise money for the annual Language Cluh dance. This year the dance came in the form of a Christmas party: novel invitations, decorations and refreshments, together with a good orchestra, contributed to the success of the party. Membership in the World League of International Education enable the cluh members to correspond with students of France. In this way, much was learned concerning the interesting customs of the French hoys and girls of high school age; it showed that they were engaged in nearly the same daily routine as American students.

The student who quoted this passage is not deal’, lie was merely rehearsing his part in the Latin Club play, “The Roman Wedding.” Phis play was one of the many under- takings of tin: Latin Club during the past year. “Amici Latinae” (Friends of Latin) is the name of the club, and “Labor Omnia Vincit” (Labor Conquers All) is the motto. An official pin has been selected which is in the form of a scroll. Many novel meetings were enjoyed by the students on the first Tuesday of each month. Perhaps the biggest accomplishment of the year was the Roman banquet which was held during the latter part of the year, 'fhe gym was con- verted into a Roman banquet hall ami the students came costumed as Romans. Food was served Roman style, by Roman waiters, and Roman programs were at each person’s place. After dinner, entertainment was such as might have been presented by the ancient Romans. All this goes to show that you don’t have to go to Rome to do as the Romans do. 'fhe Language Club dance, participated in by the Latin Club in collabora- tion with the French and Spanish clubs, was greatly enjoyed by the club members. 'fhe officers for this year were Consul, Charles Darnell: Praeter, Betty Boal: Scriptor, Frances Foley: Quaestor, Edwin Pfaff; Aedele, William Barry; Advisor, Miss Ross.

Math Club Do you know that: you're as old as Methuselah?—011c equals two?—part of a line equals a whole line?—all triangles arc isoeeles? These are some of I he fallacies of mathematics that were demonstrated by members of the Math Club at various meetings. The purpose of the club however, was not centered upon fallacies alone. Some of its many aims were: (1) to promote interest in the study of niathc- m a tics. (2) to give pupils glimpses of the future which may serve as an in- centive toward further study. (3) to illuminate the by-paths of mathematics. (4) to inspire the members—possibly future teachers—with the nobler phases of the subject, enabling them in turn to inspire the coming generations. Several interesting and worth while trips were taken by the club. Some of the latest scientific apparatus and most modern conveniences were observed in the University of Chicago math and science building. Star gazing was the mode at the Chicago Planetarium, where the members journeyed for their second field trip. Astronomy proved so popular that the club traveled to the Yerkes Observatory at Geneva, Wisconsin for the final and most scientific trip of the year. Officers were elected at the first meeting of the year and were as follows: President, Robert Jones: Vice President, Ralph Anderson: Secretary, Wanda Frazier; Treasurer, Ren Groves. The president appointed a program committee to whom fell the duty of arranging short entertainments for the meetings, which were held twice each month.

Continuing the class study plan established a year ago, the members of the Radio Club put the year 1932-1933 in a bottle, labeled it as unsurpassed from the standpoint of activities as well as that of knowledge gained, and plaeed it on the shelf as a target for next year’s club. Mr. Wolfe, the advisor, began the instruction of the club by explaining the structure of the atom, and by theoretical and practical demonstrations, car- ried the discussions to the modern A C receiver. The short wave receiver and transmitter were well explained for the benefit of those interested in becoming licensed radio amateurs. At some of the meetings special programs were planned in place of the regular study. Mr. Alan RawclifTe of Western Electric gave a talk concerning all the latest radio tubes and their uses. He brought different types of tubes with him for demonstration. The annual trip to the WENR transmitter was taken, and much information on large-scale transmission was obtained there.

Jonr . m-y “To create, maintain ami extend throughout the school and community, high standards of Christian character, is the aim of over one hundred Hi-Y hoys of the Downers Grove High School. The Hi-Y is the high school branch of tin Young Men’s Christian Association: a four-square platform similar to that of the college group is followed, promoting spiritual, physical, mental and social development. Spiritual growth is derived from the discussions and rituals of the cluh; Hi-Y haskcthall is an example of the physical benefits received in the organization: speakers, forums, and educational programs lead to mental im- provement: social development is stimulated by the annual Hi-Y—Girl Reserve dance and hy various stag affairs. Closely connected with this platform is the four C’s program—clean living, elean speech, clean scholarship, and (dean sportsmanship. By striving earnestlv to adhere to this program, the hoys are inspired to better citizenship and aided in building successful lives. Individual aid in vocational guidance was given to the hoys in tin form of a vocational interest test that was taken hy all junior, senior or post graduate members who were interested. These tests from a large educational institution, are ninety-five per cent accurate in determining vocational interests. Speakers were engaged to present data on the engineering business and medical profes- sions and to have personal discussions with hoys who might desire them, d'liis allowed every hoy personal contact with some one experienced in his field of interest.

They were rated accordingly on the following traits: dominance, self-sufficiency, neuralic ten- dency, and introversion-extroversion. -Methods of correcting undesirable inclina- tions were explained. These tests were used in helping lo determine the results of the vocation test which was explained on the opposite page. Six local Hi-Y members attended the State Older Bovs' Conference held at Joliet. Illinois which gave each hoy a great deal of information on “What Shall We Live For?” As the leaders at this convention were men of national prominence, the information received will he valuable to the boys all of their lives. Selection of the local induction team from among all the teams in the state to present a demonstration of the formal induction for the State Board of Direc- tors of the Y.M.C.A., was a decided honor. The boys presented this later in the year at the Congregational Church during a Sunday evening service. This year Mr. Wolfe, who has been the advisor for several years, was capably aided by Mr. Cleveland, who took charge of the freshman-sophomore group. The policies for the year were decided at a retreat held early in the year by the advisor ami cabinet. Freshman-sophomore officers for the year were: Presi- dent. William Barry: Vice President, George Barry; Secretary-Treasurer, Hubert Heifl’. The junior-senior officers were: President, Franklin Hoffert; Vice Presi- dent.

It is, however, the way a Frenchman would speak of a girl after she had attended the meetings of Miss Yates Charm Club which is out of tin? four hobby clubs formed by the Girl Reserves. Personality charts were issued to the girls in this group, from which they derived much benefit. Hollywood here we come! Miss Welch led the girls in the Dramatic Club through a successful year. Proof of this fact was already in evidence at mid-year when “Why the Chillies Ring, a short Christmas play, was presented at a general Girl Reserve meeting. Even the costumes and stage setting were handled by the girls. “What to be. or why not to be might well have been the motto of the Vocations Club. Mrs. Andersen led the girls in discussions concerning their careers. Biographies of famous women in business today were studied. Under the capable leadership of Miss Hylland. the ('raft Club made rapid progress. Besides paintings, the girls made pocket hooks, belts, and various accessories. The insignia of the Girl Reserves is a triangle representing the spiritual, mental, and social developments of a girl's life, enclosed in the circle of light. This year the officers of the underclass group were Patricia Taylor, president, anti Marion Kline, secretary-treasurer. The officers of the upperclass club were Hazel Easley, president, and Jane Downes, secretary-treasurer. .Miss Bales and M iss Hylland were the advisors.

That's the way the Girl Reserves put over their undertakings of the past year. Out of the first explosion came the Big Sister Tea which is given annually for the freshman girls to stimu- late interest in the club. With one outburst came several worthy things. Downers Grove was repre- sented again in the annual Girl Reserve conference which was held at the Y.W. C.A. in Aurora. Group discussions on general problems offered many valuable ideas to local representatives. At Thanksgiving and Christmas, baskets for poor families were paeked and distributed. Shortly before Christmas a party was given for a group of pre-school children ami their mothers. An especially loud explosion announced to the Girl Reserve and Hi-Y mem- bers that it was time for the big dance! 'Phis came as a Valentine party. The gym was magically transformed into the palace of the Queen of Hearts and the members of the two clubs became its occupants. Cards, ping-pong, dancing and refreshments offered a variety of entertainment for everyone. When only memories were left of the dance and commencement was in sight the Senior Farewell was given. On this occasion silver spoons were presented to the most outstanding senior Girl Reserves. As the last explosion dies out, so does a very successful year end for the Girl Reserves.

Art Club With a steady breeze blowing, the good ship “Art” embarked on its maiden voyage under the guiding band of Captain llylland. advisor. The passengers were steered through a sea of etchings, cartoons, sketches, and sculptors, to a land of famous artists where they were marooned for a short time. In this land they witnessed the trials anti tribulations that most of these immortals have endured. A changing wind olTered an opportunity to sail to the Island of charcoal drawings. Mrs. Iris White of Hinsdale, gave a series or interesting, illustrated lectures. Provisions were almost exhausted, so back to the mainland they sailed. Here they exhibited the results of what they had been learning. Heal talent was illus- trated in some of tin drawings on exhibition in the main corridor; many favor- able comments were overheard. Perfect weather stimulated these voyagers to embark once more for lands unexplored. The weather changed however and a violent wind threw the ship upon the rocks of Chicago. While waiting for repairs to be made, the crew visited the Art Institute where paintings of famous artists were viewed. A travel- worn crew returned to Downers Grove to prepare another exhibit before the year ended. Membership ill the Art Club is open to anyone interested in studying and increasing his knowledge of art. Officers for the past year were: President, Marge Corson; Vice President, Barbara Weinhcimer; Secretary, Adelaide Widduck; Treasurer, Jean Fariss. Fi hty.

Let’s quietly take a peek into the library and watch the Library (dub carry out its duties. Just open the door a little and we’ll look in.” Girls in various parts of the room are busily engaged in some task that is essential to tile successful maintenance of the library. Several are busy with scissors and paste assembling interesting scrapbooks for the convenience of the students and for future reference. Others are checking delinquent books, mend- ing those that arc torn, and placing returned books on the shelves. Some stu- dents just can’t get magazines back in their correct places and we see one girl rearranging them on the shelves. Desk work is being done by a well trained member, and several others are busy doing odd jobs. Naturally such a fine group deserves publicity and so one of the girls is busily engaged in writing a story of the club’s activities for this week’s issue of High Life. Membership in the club calls for scholarship, dependability, accuracy, neatness, and interest. Meetings are held once a month. Some of the unusual meetings of the year included a field trip to the Chicago Library and a meeting at the home of Miss Natzke. Dramatic talent is not lacking in the club as was shown when a short play was presented in assembly by several members of the organization. Since the club picture was taken two new members: Florence Kalinowski and Dorothy Henderson have joined. The officers are: Helen Darn ley. President: Elizabeth PfafT, Vice Presi- dent; and Helen Bartlett, Secretary-Treasurer. F.ifhty-thrr« The 1933 CAULDRON Standing: Amlrr fn, Tiillrr. I I liorn. Krt|ii an, l.rni| kr. Hill, Mural.

Deck Club “Read not to contradict and confute; nor to believe and take for granted; nor to find talk and discourse; but to weigh and consider.”—Francis Bacon. A club for book lovers lias at last been organized. The movement was started by several reading enthusiasts who saw the need of an organization that would bring them together to discuss and exchange ideas of modern books. In this way an interest in events of the literary world and modern authors, as well as their works is promoted. Each member of the club reports on at least one book a year and enters into the discussion for which a part of each meeting is held open. Modern books were given the preference in choosing material for the reports. To retain a friendly and informal feeling and to give a sense of ease to those giving reports, the club membership is limited to thirty persons. When a vacancy occurs in the member- ship, the club votes on the new candidates before they may join. Meetings are held on the first and tliinl Fridays of each month according to the constitution of the club. Mrs. Andersen is the parliamentary authority of the club. Officers for the past year were as follows: Raymond Zimmerman, president; Sally Baxter, vice-president: Lucille Lundgrcn, secretary-treasurer.

The snakes are really charmed, charmed by the charming! Organization of the Biology (dub, the youngest of the organization family of the school, was stimulated by some of the students who were interested in doing field work along biological lines. Mr. Daigh co-operated in planning the activities of the club and took over the responsibilities of club advisor. Due to the fact that the club was not organized until the middle of March, not as many trips were taken as were requested by club members. The first trip of the year came in the form of a visit to the Chicago Guernsey Farm at Hinsdale. Many items of interest were observed there. Chicago was the drawing card for two major trips. The General Biological Supply House was visited, and the equipment there proved to stimulate the in- terest of all present. The University of Northwestern Medical School attracted the club on its last trip. A conception of the amount of knowledge gained at medical school was obtained there. Outdoor meetings were frequent. Officers for the past year were: President, Carl Kline; Vice President, Arno I hlhorn; Secretary, Hazel Easley: Treasurer, Charles Burns; Sergeant-at-Arms. Ellsworth Diener. Fifhly-fim Mechanics constantly improve bodies of mounting planes for better service, efficiency, and safety. Our athletic instruc- tors strive to train minds and bodies to co-ordinate perfect- ly. ATHLETICS Beys’ Athletics The pilots of the trick squad- rons who do the more difficult interscholastic maneuvers are the boys of the athletic teams. The 1933 CAULDRON Ecys Athletics The old type of physical work with its dumb-bells, parallel bars, and similar equipment has been rapidly losing favor, being swept aside by tin more pleasur- able and profitable competitive games. It is more difficult to fit a boy for leisure than for work. The great problem before us today is to fit the youth so that lie may use bis leisure time wisely. In this age, athletics must have a prominent place. Each boy in our high school, unless specifically excused, or unless be is on a squad, reports for gym classes. The average active boy is interested in some type of athletic diversion in which be can pit the whole force of bis physical being, together with the activity of bis mind, against an adversary. For this reason team games, like football, basketball, baseball, and other organized games appeal to the average boy. Fight- ing and many other evils of a few years ago have largely disappeared in these games when played in a gentlemanly and sportsmanlike manner. Games for which a boy will seek the most strenuous work during the summer months and also dur- ing the season to condition himself, and for which be will make an unusual effort in bis studies to be eligible are worthy of careful consideration. My first purpose in coaching is to give each and every boy who plays on my team a fair and equal opportunity to make the team regardless of bis past repu- tation. Every boy must prove bis worth. My aim in coaching is to develop to a point of perfect co-ordination every faculty used in an athletic contest. No one attains perfect co-ordination, but every individual can advance within the limits of bis own effort and individual ability. The success of the individual is found not in bis present position, but in the advance that be has made. The aim in coaching is to develop every individua] to the fullest extent. A coach always likes to see in a boy the following qualities: First, be should be a boy with a burning ambition instilled within him. who desires not only to play, but also to be a great performer in bis chosen sport. Second, be should be willing to learn and subject himself happily to necessary training routine. Third, be must have the proper attitude toward the school, the sport and the coaches. Fourth, be must have the spirit that will not be broken, but which will create in the individual a willingness and desire to “carry on” under all circumstances in the interests of the team. Fifth, be must work to develop good co-ordination be- tween bis mind and body. Athletics must be kept a worthy recreation. General school athletics unify the school spirit and develop loyalty in addition to personally benefiting those taking part. fiifhly-einht The 1933 CAULDRON Top row: Karri-. Mill.ap. Kalrnian.

Those eligible for membership in this club are the boys who have won a letter in any one of the three sports, football, basketball or track. There is a great number of boys who belong to this club ami also a great number who would like to belong. There are no initiation ceremonies, for when a hoy is awarded his letter, he automatically becomes a member. Each year the 'D“ Club gives a dance which is one of the largest social events of the year. They invite non-members to this dance so that more people may enjoy it. The club holds few meetings but they elect officers who this year were: Hay Artabasv, President; Harry Miller. Vice-President and Frank Littleford, Sec- retary. Letters entitling hoys to membership are made of purple chenile bordered with white. They are awarded to the boys in a special assembly which is always anticipated hv the student body. There is no definite time limit that a hoy must play in order to win a letter: if the coach thinks the hoy is deserving, even if he did not play regularly, he awards him a letter. This is only fair, for if a hoy works hard, lie should deserve as much credit as the hoy who makes the team. The members of this club are always glad to welcome newcomers into tin organiza- tion and hope that they will uphold its traditions. Fifhly-ninc The. 1933 CAULDRON Heavyweight Football Season A squad of forty football players reported to Coach Grimm a week before school started. Nine veterans from last year returned and everyone was opti- mistic. It was our hard luck to discover at the end of the season a player ineligible because he was over the age limit according to state rules. Of course this forfeited our chance for conference and sectional rating. Every team in the conference had an exceptionally fine team. 'Phe first game the Heavies played was with Wheaton, and Downers came out the victor hv a 12-0 score. The whole team played with the smoothness of a mid-season eleven. On two completed passes from Rigsbee to Oestmann and from Rigsbee to Bateman. Downers scored twice and had the game in hand from the opening kick-off. Downers journeyed to Batavia the next week and took the representatives of this city by a 32-0 count. One of the strong points in the purple's offense was passes from Rigsbee to Reninger. This pass clicked many times for substantial gains and for three touchdowns. Opening the football season at home with a game against McKinley. Downers failed to do as well as in previous encounters. They outplayed the city team hut they failed to have the necessary power to score when these opportunities occurred. The final result was 0-0. Downers played host to Maine on October 8 and bowed to the blue invaders 6-0. The Purple played some of the hardest football of the season hut finally succumbed in the last quarter after some very stubborn resistance. The game was featured by “Kayo” Ocstmann's punting. On October 15, Riverside turned the tables on the purple and came out on top 19-6. Downers came hack in the second half and after trailing 19-0 at the close of the second period, scored a touchdown and threatened many more times. 'Phe defensive play of Jack .Mathews and of “Sharkey” Baranowski was noticeable at all times. Hinsdale came to Downers very jubilant hut went home in a very different mood after taking a 36-13 trimming. After some rather stubborn resistance in the first half. Downers came hack and scored almost at will. October 29. Downers travelled to West Chicago to play Wego. The weather was very unfavorable and the wind made passing and punting difficult. After three scoreless periods, Downers put over the winning touchdown on a series of line plunges by Heart! after a completed forward pass. The final score was 7-0. York, conference champions, brought a fine team to this town and deserved to wrin, as they did by a 17-0 count. York used cross-bucks to good advantage and made substantial gains during most of the game. The purple gridders put up a good fight hut fight could not cope with the skill of the green and white. This is really the only game in which Downers was outclassed and outplayed. Downers wound up the season at Glenbard where by the narrow margin of a safety the green were victorious 8-6. Grieves of Glenbard got loose early in the game and scored their only touchdown. Short passes from Rigsbee to Bateman were the means of scoring our only touchdown. Reninger and Captain Artabasv stood out on defensive play. Ninety The 1933 CAULDRON Top rote: Strflrn . Hathaway, Spark . Srhumachor. I.ark. Hollow, Spalin. Roaynaki. Skullr. Burn .

Tom played end and was chosen on the second all-conference team. Kayo Oestmann—played quarterback and did the punting. Kayo was a dependable man on both offense and defense. Ei.win Hoffman—had plenty of spirit and will he missed next year. This was his first year out and he made good backfield material. Jack Lindstrom—another senior who was a substitute end and hack.

George’s injuries were very hard on the whole team. You probably will hear more of him on a University team. Jack Bolton—will be back next year to hold down a tackle position. Jack has oidy played two years and is slated for all-conference next year. FRANK LiTTLEPORD— a senior who showed plenty of light at guard or center. John Baranowski—another scrappy guard who has another year to play. Edward Lukes—a senior who came out in his last year and showed plenty of football skill. Ralph Anderson—had few chances but lie made the most of them, lie will he hack to play center next year. Chari.es Schubert—has another year to display his wares as a guard. Charles was a utility man hut he made the regulars hustle to keep their jobs. Rupert Bateman—only a junior hut he showed his heels to the rest of the conference at safety and halfback. Jack Mathews—one of the veterans from previous years and he sure helped holster that line. RAYMOND ArtABASY—another to make the first all-conference team. Ray was captain and center. His loss will he much felt next year. We will hear more about Ray on a University team. Mnrty-lhrr The 1933 CAULDRON Lightweight Lootball Season Fiflv hoys presented themselves at the initial practice of the season and Coach Cresscy found that hackficld material was the most abundant and experi- enced. Many of the stars of 31” had cither graduated or moved up to the heavy- weight squad because of the weight limit being moved down to 130 pounds. This left the team to he built on green material. Playing a game under varying conditions, the “tornadoes” were defeated hv Wheaton, 12-0. The purple team made a few threats and played a defensive game for the most part. Considering that many of the players were playing their first game, the lights did very well. After a hard week’s practice, the ponies showed marked improvement over the previous game. Leading 6-0 until the final moments Downers outplayed the men from Batavia. A pass by the purple team in the final minute of play was left uncovered resulting in a 6-6 tie. Maine journeying to Downers on October 8, brought a fine team ami went home on the long end of a 6-0 score. Downers established herself as a defensive team in this game as they held the blue and white when their hacks were veritably on the goal line. Maine took advantage of the breaks and after blocking a punt recovered on the two-yard line and pushed the hall across for the one touchdown. The lights were idle for two weeks before they confidently met Riverside. The statistics readily show who was the better team in this encounter even though the score docs not. Riverside was not in Downers territory all day. Downers constantly made threats in each quarter to score hut failed to shove the pigskin across the goal line. The result was 0-0. It was to Downers' credit to hold the opponent scoreless for Riverside went on to win a portion of the championship. October 22—That was the day when the Red Devils invaded the campus of D.G.H.S. These invaders left with a 7-0 victory. Hinsdale, early in the game, intercepted a fumbled pass for a touchdown. The purple came hack fighting in the second half hut let opportunity slip from their grasp. They were stopped on the 2 yard line after marching 80 yards down the gridiron. 'Phis was followed by several other serious thrusts toward the opponents’ goal which failed. The following Saturday Downers tied West Chicago 0-0. Like the Riverside game, Wego was never in scoring position and never advanced the hall past midfield. Downers made 160 yards from scrimmage while her opponents col- lected a mere 7. This brings out the defensive ability of the purple and notice- able lack of scoring punch on the goal line. On our own field, York defeated Downers 20-0 for the lights most decisive defeat of the season. York brought a fast and hard driving team and as the result indicates, Downers never had a chance. Downers failed to stop the visitors’ smooth and tricky pass offense in the pinches. York scored two touchdowns on long passes after consistent gains had put the hall in scoring position. Downers played her last game of the season at Glenbard and was conquered by the green, 19-0. Glenbard was the co-champion along with Riverside and with a fast team, made several long runs which resulted in touchdowns. The purple withstood the onslaught for two quarters and then gave way to the attackers. Ninety-four The 1933 CAULDRON Top rou : l.illlrlortl. Harry, Sotirrk, HuM.rrl.

It might be well to explain that this team is composed of boys who did not make the regular light- weight squad. These boys are very small but they are gaining experience and will make varsity material in the following years. The boys furnished their own transportation to the games which shows that they really wanted to play football. The first game was played at Glen Ellyn with Glenhard and resulted in a scoreless tie. Downers advanced the ball to the seven yard line but were unable to push it across the goal line. This was the only time either team threatened to score. The second game was a repetition of the first but the opponent was Wheaton. The final score was 0-0. Glenhard in the return game defeated the midgets by a 7-0 score. They scored one touchdown but did not threaten any more during the whole contest. Journeying to Riverside, Downers took the long end of a 19-7 count. Jimmy Sagan scored two touchdowns on line plunges after Robert Maki had placed the ball in scoring position by long runs. Dick Morriss ran 50 yards for a touchdown on the first play ol the second hall. In the final game with Wheaton, the midgets went on a rampage and won by a 20-0 score. Downers completed a sleeper pass for a touchdown and held possession of tin ball throughout the game. These boys learned a good ileal about football by these practice games and will provide valuable material for next years lightweight team. They enjoyed playing and got a good deal of fun out of football and this is really the object of the game. .Vlrfly.i ifht The 10.33 CAULDRON Stagg Teiiinament Stagg Champions! A title for anyone to be proud of. The largest invita- tional high school haskethall tournament in the world. One hundred teams entered and only one could come out on top. Needless to say this was the Downers Grove team, composed of Slanec, Reninger. Oestmaiin, Bateman. Rigshec and Mil- ler, undoubtedly the best five ever to represent D.G.H.S. on the haskethall floor. 'I lie purple and white played their initial contest on the second day of the tournament with Marshall High of Chicago as their opponents. After a stubborn defense put a damper on the home hoys in the first half, Downers came hack ami swamped Marshall with a veritable deluge of baskets to win 28-16. Riverside, the next opponent, gave the hoys a scare and furnished the strongest opposition of the tournament. Downers won hv the score of 20-18. Morton, tin state champion of 32, was the next victim of the long list of unfor- tunates and fell before the purple onslaught 24-17. Lane, a strong city team with a delayed ofl'ense, was not able to cope with the Downers hoys and were defeated 25-13. The final game was staged on New Year’s eve ami a large turnout from Downers was there to cheer the hoys. These hoys hate to disappoint their followers so they turned in a fine 35-26 victory. They held the lead all the way and were not even threatened until the closing minutes. Charles Feldman, a Chicago sports writer gave the hoys a compliment of which they should feel justly proud. He said: “Fine specimens of America’s youth they are ami they fulfilled the highest ideals of sportsmanship with their clean and highly aggressive play throughout their five tournament triumphs.” in fly-nine The 1933 CAULDRON Heavyweight basketball Season The Downers Grove heavyweight basketball team of '32 33 has established a record for the following teams in this school to aim at. With a record of 25 games won and only three lost, we know that it will he at least a few years before a better record is hung up. The heavies this season did what no other team from this school has ever done before. They won the conference championship, hut not satisfied with this honor, they also won the Stagg Tournament held at Chicago, and then won the District Tournament ami one game at the Sectional Tournament. Maybe you would like to know the reason for this sudden change in the purple and white's teams and in truth there are several of them. There is Coach Grimm who worked as hard as the hoys and worried lots more. Mr. Grimm gave the majority of his time to the hoys and did a fine job of coaching them. Then there are his five hoys the first team. Kigshee, Oest- m a n.

There were many strong teams in the con- ference and consequently there were many upsets, among which was the York game. If it had not been for Wego upsetting York in the final game. Downers would have tied for this year. Downers swamped York in the last game by a 39-22 score showing what the home lads can do if they have to. The “champs won out at Klmhurst in the District Tournament winning four games to do it. They defeated Morton, Glenhard, Leyden and Hinsdale. All of these teams were strong and taxed the hoys to the limit hut in the end they showed their superiority. They overcame their old rivals from Hinsdale in the final game of the tournament by a 50 22 score. Heningcr ran wild making 22 points in this all important contest, enough to tie Hinsdale hv himself. Meeting a team that possessed more skill proved the end of a line season for the home quintet. After nosing out the strong Bowen five, they succumbed to Thornton who later proved to he the state champions. The game was good and was much closer than the score indicates. Tom Slanec and Jim Reninger were chosen on the all-tournament team at Joliet after making tin all-conference team and tw'o other all-tournament teams. This should prove that the hoys had ability and not just a lot of luck. One Humlreit The 1933 CAULDRON Slnmtinc: l.ittlrford, Grimm. Rungerr. Vix. Baranov, ,ki. Briltian. Canty, I.ukrt.

They won only six games hut they put up a game battle with every team in the conference and those not in the conference also. They wound up the season in fifth place but with the same team in other years they would have been in the running for the championship. The compe- tition in the West Suburban Conference was unusually keen this year and the lightweight teams of Riverside, Glenbard and Hinsdale had many and experienced players. By graduation and players moving up to the heavyweight squad, the lightweights did not have much experience. The squad was made up of green players on the whole but at the finish of the season, a few real players were in evidence. Harry Miller, a Junior, acted as captain and played a superlative brand of hall. He fought like a veritable wildcat and kept the team in the running until the final whistle. Harry was drafted to the heavyweights during the Stagg Tourna- ment and also during the district and sectional tournaments. He more than held his own with these Millsap. another also used on the during the post ments. played six non- this season and twoofthem.

The Alumni game was more of a burlesque than a basketball game. The lightweights were the only ones who played real ball, the alumni just trusted to luck ami their superior size ami experience. The records show that the Purple Tornadoes scored four victories to eight defeats in conference competition. Three of these games were lost by two or three- point margins and were decided by the breaks of the game. The ponies over- whelmed Maine in both encounters held with the blue and white of Des Plaines. They defeated West Chicago once and Hinsdale once, which accounts for their other two victories. They placed Riverside-Brook field to a standstill in the first half of both games hut let down in the final minutes to lose both of these games. Riverside was the conference champions but they were defeated by Hinsdale late in the season. Glenbard proved themselves the better team as did York, both defeating the purple and white twice in conference competition. The lights did not have a championship team but they did their best in every game they played. In the annual tourney held at Wheaton for lightweight teams, the Downers lads met York in their third game with this team in the present season. They were unable to turn the tables against the boys from Elmhurst but gave the Downers fans something to be proud of just the same. One Hundred Four The 1933 CAULDRON Lightweight Llayers Scheck— 1 i i not always |� lav hut when lie did he made a good job of it. Stewart Millsap—was the high point man though he is only a freshman.

WlLLIS Littlkford—only a freshman but he always put up a good game. Jack Linostrom—another senior who played guard and did a good job of it. Robert Broberc—the tallest man on the team did not always play on account of inexperience. He will he hack next year. Harold Fraser—a good prospect for next year. He is a good shot and can make plenty of baskets. Lambert Sougek—a fast forward who graduates this year.

Harry Miller—a speedy forward and could always make the baskets when they were needed. Fred Dubis—only a junior ami will he hack next year. Duhis was a scrappy guard ami was always in the game. Gordon Austin—the only senior Oil the team. He played a steady and re- liable game. He was co-captain with Carrots Miller. One Humireti Five The 1933 CAULDRON Top How: Mrhtrr. Kil ly. Itriin � .

These teams are composed of the boys who are not quite good enough for the second team, either heavyweight or lightweight. The lightweight junior varsity played nine games and won only two. hut this team was composed almost entirely of freshmen. The team was coached hv Mr. Holt and the hoys were taught basketball fundamentals. The two teams which they defeated were the Junior high school and St. Joseph grade school. These lightweights will undoubtedly move up to the regular lightweight squad next year and instead of being inexperienced, they will have a knowledge of the game, thus being more valuable to the team. This is the purpose of these teams, to gain for them experience and make them more valuable material for the future. The heavyweight junior varsity was composed mostly of sophomores with the exception of one junior. These hoys were on the heavyweight squad and held short practices after the regular team had finished. They were coached by Mr. Grimm who said that the hoys showed promise of developing into real material in another year or two. They played seven games and won four of them showing that they held their own with the other junior varsity teams of conference. One llunrlrnl Six Top row: Mn.rly. ( an l uri;, Krlirr. Mochtl.

Track-1932 Downers Grove for tlie first time in many years displayed an interest in traek. This docs not mean that they won the conference track meet, for they only nosed out Hinsdale and West Chicago, netting them fifth place in this all important meet. The hoys took track as seriously as they have taken any other sport and in the following years the results will be evident. We hope Downers will earn a reputa- tion for its track squads. The preliminary for the opening of the track season was the inter-class traek meet. There is always plenty of rivalry in these contests as any one who has wit- nessed them will testify. The seniors usually defeat the underclasses but not so this year. The up and coming juniors took first honors with 93 points to 40 4 for the seniors, the sophomores and Freshmen followed with 19 and 9% points respectively. Downers held two dual meets during the season and one triangular meet. Downers defeated Clcnhard 62-60 in one of the contests but bowed to York 78-44 in the other. Downers rated second in the Riversidc-Hinsdalc affair nosing out Hinsdale in the relay. The scores were Riverside 50 4, Downers 36 4, and Hins- dale ‘35%. I he conference track meet which was held at Downers for the second time in the last three years showed that the West Suburban Conference can bob! their own with any conference in Illinois. There were seven records broken, one of these being the discus throw set by Tom Slanee of Downers. A crowd of twenty-five hundred witnessed this meet and Downers gave the home folks nothing to be ashamed of. Maine won the meet with 38 points, Glcnbard 33, York 29 1 3, River- side 22, Downers 15 2 3, Hinsdale 11, Wego 5 1 3. One Hundred Seem The 1933 CAULDRON Cheer Leaders We're loyal to you.

One Hundred Eifht Girls Athletics The more graceful stunt for- mation flying is performed by the girls athletic squadrons. The 1933 CAULDRON Girls’ Athletics The formal style of physical education is a thing of tin past. The physio- logical and corrective benefits derived from this type of old-fashioned physical education can just as readily and more effectively be reached by stimulating the girls' participation in sports that they naturally enjoy. One never sees a group of modern girls after school hours enthusiastically practicing a calisthenic drill, but one does sec them turning cartwheels, practicing clog steps, or playing tennis or baseball. It is a conceded fact that one derives the most benefits from out-of-door exercise, so in the spring and fall all classes are held on the athletic field. During these seasons the program includes tennis, volley ball, soccer, hockey, baseball, and track. All games are played by girls rules which are adapted to the strength and endurance of the average girl, 'flic winter program includes endball, basket- ball, tap dancing, rhythm, stunts, health habits, posture tests, and ability in the ordinary skills of daily life, which include running, jumping, lifting, dodging, and catching. Constructive suggestions are given to aid the girl in becoming master of herself, and in learning to handle her own body in tin most efficient way possible. 'Phis develops grace, saves energy, and increases self-respect. Because of their size all classes are divided into three squads. Each squad has a leader who referees the game her squad is playing, and who sees that every girl has an equal opportunity. The spirit of competition between the squads is one of friendly matching of skill, which increases the girls interest in the games. This type of organization of activities stresses student leadership, followership, co- operation. and good sportsmanship, and provides rich opportunities for girls to grow in those character traits which make for successful group living. The Girls Athletic Association is a very active organization and has increased its membership each year. Before a girl is eligible to be initiated, she must earn one hundred points outside of gym classes. These points represent many hours of participation in sports, hiking, bicycling, horseback riding, roller skating, swimming, etc. This organization has numerous social hours during the year, and the annual.spring dance is always a gala affair. At the dance the girls receive the awards, which are numerals, pins, large and small “D’s,” and bracelets. Also the outstanding senior girl is honored by having her name on the G.A.A. cup. The extra-curricular activities of this department are sponsored by the Girls’ Athletic Association. Inter-class tournaments are played in soccer, hockey, end hall, volley ball, baseball, ami track. These games are refereed by a Head of Sports who is chosen by members of this organization. The attempt is made to teach the girls games and activities in school which they will engage in voluntarily after school hours, during summer vacations, and after they leave school. It is the real purpose of education to help the girls to do better what they are going to do anyway. One IIut,tired Ten The 1933 CAULDRON Activities Krutmryrr. Sfhubril. HrnNhaw, Taylor, PrMfOll.

The Girls’ Athletic Association was organized for the purpose of promoting athletics and better sportsmanship among the girls of the school. To become a member one must earn one hundred points in different sports and then he initiated. This year has been one of the most successful in the history of the organi- zation. Under the leadership of the president and with the advice of Miss Fluent an unusual round of activities was carried out. Priscilla Bradshaw’s po- sition as head of sports, which includes assisting Miss Fluent, refereeing at the girls' basketball games, and acting on the G.A.A. board, was taken care of very efficiently. A hike and a picnic started the year off. The girls hiked to the Girl Scout cabin, played games, had their supper and went home with nice thoughts about the G.A.A. A roller skating party, held in back of the school, ended at Barbara Weinheimer’s home where marshmallows were toasted. The initiation for about thirty girls was held in the form of a pot luck supper. After the girls survived the initiation they felt true members in all respects. Everyone had a good time at the Christmas party for the entire school. This is an annual gift of the G.A.A. to tho school. Novel favors consisting of cotton halls were distributed. The spring dance, always one of the soeial highlights of the year, stood out as being the best ever. The music and decorations blended with the girls’ spring dresses made the occasion colorful as well as successful. The officers this year were: Priscilla Bradshaw, Head of Sports; Barbara Weinheimer, President; Barbara Wright, Vice President; Alice Knoblauch, Treasurer; Alice Frazier, Soeial Chairman; Patricia Taylor. Finance Chairman.
