THE CAULDRON LUCILLE LUNDGREN Editor ROBERT YOUNTS Business Manager THE 1934 CAULDRON SENIOR ANNUAL DOWNERS GROVE HIGH SCHOOL Downers Grove, Illinois A Story was late September, and Felix D. Freshman flung himself down on the stone steps of D.G.H.S. to moan over the trials and tribulations of the last two weeks. Grr—Felix gritted his teeth. Gosh, how mad those teachers made him with their eternal assign- ments. He almost surrendered to that compelling urge to whimper, but at this moment who should appear but Solomon the Senior. Solomon had gained considerable knowledge in his four years at high school, and all his gor- geous raiment, from his tangerine-hued trousers to his brimless and perfor- ated headpiece, proclaimed his rank. Fie understood, so he stated in his inimita- ble fashion: FACULTY and CLASSES play an important part in any student's life, but the ACTIVITIES, ATHLETICS, and FEATURES offered at D. G. II. S. are indispensable to complete a well-rounded high school career.” (Continued on page 8) CONTENTS I Administration 11 Classes III Activities IV Athletics V Features DEDICATION We, the Class of 19)4, dedicate our Annual to Mr. Earl C.

Felix, the freshman, de- parted word- lessly. As he sat nervously in the office awaiting the dreaded ordeal, in came that perfect ex- ample of propriety—Solomon Senior. Sol knew all about freshmen and their foibles. His innate eloquence came to the rescue. hour years of the FACULTY make you begin to appreciate their true worth, and what they really accomplish in spite of all difficulties.

Administration The 1934 Cauldron George E. DeWole, A. M. Superintendent of Schools Board of Education Downers Grove 1 ligh School serves a community embracing the village of Downers Grove and certain portions of adjacent towns. The planning and control of the affairs of the scIidoI district is vested in a Board of Education of five members. As there is at least one member whose term expires each year, opportunity is given annually for a definite expression of popular interest in school matters. Each year the Board selects a President and Secretary. The President appoints committees covering various responsibilities, in order that each item may have the careful consideration of the appropriate committee before coming to the attention of the Board itself. The present personnel is as follows: Mr. W. I). Herrick, Secretary, and Chair- man of Committee on Buildings and Grounds; Mr. Y W. Henderson, Chairman of Committee on School Organizations and Activities; Mrs. Margery Barber, Chairman of Committee on Staff and Personnel; Mr. Edward F. Lacey, Chairman of Committee on Finance and Budget-Control; Mr. T. O. Westhafer, President, and Chairman of Com- mittee on Publicity. The management of the school and the immediate supervision of its activities are delegated to the Superintendent of Schools, Mr. Geo. E. DeW'olf, and a selected staff of instructors. Mr T. O.

JOHNSON Mr. Johnson, completing his tenth year in Downers Grove, lias taught manual training, coached the lightweight team for three years, winning the basketball title in each of these years, and for the past three years has held the position of high school principal and dean of boys. Mr. Johnson holds his 15. Ed. degree from the Stale Teachers’ College, DcKalb, and his M. A. and Principal of High Schools diploma from the Teachers’ Col lege at Columbia University. Working for a program that will pro- vide a worthwhile training for the major- ity of students, Mr. Johnson’s philosophy of education is based on the principle that everyone has a right to succeed in at least some one thing. To him, the finest re- ward that can come to a teacher is the thought that he has had a part in helping jk some student succapd iit]life Clarence W. Johnson, A. M. Principal and Dean of Boys ✓VO A------- MRS. WDI RSI N Mrs. Andersen, dean of girls, is today and has been for the past ten years, a sympathetic adviser to whom girls can go with their difficulties and pleasures whenever they want to, and her pleasant office is considered and used as a meeting place by them. Undergraduate and graduate work at Northwestern University prepared Mrs. Andersen for teaching English and I atm but when asked to act as dean of girls at D. G. H. $., she was glad for the opportunity and has been enjoying it ever since.” I Iclping girls make decisions affecting their character and service to the school and community, assisting them in plan- ning their yearly high school programs, and advising them as to certain types of colleges and positions, are all parts of Mrs. Andersen’s general, educational, and vo- cational guidance program.

Administration The 1934 Cauldron The importance of English is shown by the fact that a four year course in that subject is required of every student for graduation. The division of the English work here has been carefully planned and successfully carried out. In the freshman course, students continue their junior high school work in composition and in the study of classics. During the first semester of the sophomore year, this work is further developed, but the second semester brings with it a study of American literature. The junior year is devoted entirely to the study of English liter- ature. Seniors may choose two of three courses—journalism, modern literature, or rhetoric. Journalism stresses the writing of newspaper articles and the reading of newspapers; modern literature is designed to give the student an appreciation of contemporary writ- ing; and rhetoric is intended particularly for the student who needs a review of this type of work before entering college. Public speaking as taught at 1). (� . IE S. is unique in that all students receive six weeks of this subject each year for four years. The course has been arranged pro- gressively, and some new phase is taught each year. Miss Brown and Miss Ross have freshman English classes, and Mrs. Andersen and Miss Welch sophomore classes. Miss Yates teaches junior English, and Miss Hcnnis senior English, while Miss Wood instructs students in the art of public speaking. Cithcrinc Wood, A. B.; Kriiiut Yuct, A. M.; Grier M. Ilcnnit. A.

A H Language Department Although it is important to be able to read, write, speak, and understand a foreign language, facility in reading is the main objective of this department. Foreign languages arc of great cultural value and aid in the promotion of inter- national good-will. Also, students who take up such courses are assisted in other school subjects by their increased knowledge of the pronunciation and spelling of foreign names and places. Many business and diplomatic positions require an understanding of modern languages. Miss I lowland teaches French and Spanish, while Latin is taught by Miss Ross. Manual Arts Department One ol the most valuable courses a student can choose is one which will be of practical assistance to him in later life. Several such subjects are taught here. Mis% Trotter instructs freshmen and sophomore girls in foods, clothing, and advanced home economics courses, and Mr. Nelson teaches woodwork and mechanical drawing. To encourage the girls to consider the problems of home-making vitally worthy of intensive study” is one of the important aims of the home economics courses. Instruction in the use of both hand and power tools is given in the woodwork course, in which every type of article from checkerboard tables to whatnots arc manu- factured by the students. T.

S., the course in algebra to be taken by freshmen, followed by geometry in the sophomore year. Also, a course in advanced algebra is given the first semester and one in solid geom- etry the second semester, these courses being elective for juniors and seniors. Miss Sheldon, Miss brush, Mr. Wolfe, and Mr. Cressey, teach beginning algebra, while plane geometry is taught by Miss Sheldon, Mr. Herrell and Mr. Cressey. Students in advanced algebra and solid geometry arc instructed by Mr. Herrell. Commercial Department The commercial department has grown rapidly during the last five years, and now requires the full time of three commercial teachers—Miss I rush, who instructs student' in first and second year shorthand. Miss Judkins, who teaches beginning and advanced typing, and Mr. Mahr, whose subjects include bookkeeping, commercial law, economics, and one class in beginning typing. The practical values of a commercial education such as is offered at D. G. 11. S. are quickly recognized, as many students have gone directly from high school into busi- ness positions. Commercial contests are held each uear-and do much to arouse interest in this type of work. 1 Nellie Anne Fruth. B. S : lark Mjlir. A. B.: l ettie Judkint.

Science Department Teaching four different types of science takes up the full time and sometimes the overtime of live teachers—Mr. Wolfe, whose subjects include chemistry and physics, Mr. Holt and Mr. Daigh, who teach both biology and general science, and Miss Trotter and Mr. Cleveland� who have classes in general science. A thorough understanding of the principles behind science has now become a necessary part of everyday life, as a large proportion of both vocational and avocational activities involve a scientific background. General science is an introduction to the other scientific courses; biology includes both botany and zoology; chemistry gives a practical background tor manufacturing processes and various vocational activities, and physics is the basis of all scientific study. History Department American history, world history, and civics comprise the social subjects of the school curricuum. Miss Hales and Miss Kcuthcr have American history classes. Miss Rcuthcr and Mr. Cleveland world history classes, and Miss Hales also teaches the course in civics. History forms a background for the present-day governmental affairs, while civics aids in the understanding and appreciation of the political situation of today. Social sciences are also of great value in teaching the correct methods of study and concen- tration. Vl K ClcvcIiniJ. B s Mildred lido. B. s . kjthirinc KcutHn. M Physical Education Department Every type of sport is taken up in boys’ gym—basketball, football, track, soccer, volleyball, tumbling, marching, springboard work, and calisthenics, all under the coaching of Mr. Grimm. The girls’ gym course also contains a variety of athletic activities—baseball, soccer, Held hockey, cndball, basketball, volleyball, track, tennis, stunts, dancing, marching, and calisthenics. Physical education as taught at I). G. H. S. aids not so much in the physical de- velopment of the boy or girl as in increasing his interest in athletics and in promoting a sense of sportsmanship and competition. Also, through the medium of the large classes, students become better acquainted than they would through their regular acad- emic courses. Music Department The general objective of the entire music department is to enhance the individual’s appreciation of music so that in later life he may gain a greater value from it. Mr. Pohlmann is the director of vocal music, and his classes include the A Cappella Choir, the boys’ and girls’ special choruses, which together comprise the mixed chorus, and several beginning classes. The band, under the direction of Mr. Shoemaker, now includes over sixty musicians, and it is the director’s desire to enlarge this group in future years so as to raise the membership to ninety. C. J.

In the fall she aids in the examination of boys and girls for gym work, and throughout the year presents first-aid and conferences to students. About one-fifth of Miss Dooley’s time is devoted to making home visits. P- TJtX r' . Miss Natzke, school librarian, has charge of three thousand seven hundred and sixty-seven volumes, ranging from poetry to almanacs and from geology to iiction— all of which are available to the students through the school library. This institution, however, contains literary matter other than reference books—there are approximately five hundred pamphlets and nearly fifty scrapbooks, all of great value to the hard- working scholar. Office Miss Shotola. secretary to Superintendent DeW'olf, and Miss Phelps, assistant sec- retary, compose the office force, having charge of all correspondence, records, and similar business connected with both the grade and high schools. Keeping attendance records, the credits of each student in high school, and the permanent recording of grades takes up a great deal of time, but Miss Shotola also takes care of Mr. De Wolf’s correspondence. Miss Phelps has report cards, the book store, and the greater part of Mr. Johnson’s correspondence to look after. Records of board meetings are typed in the office, and bills for such meetings are checked here. Fimi R. Shoioli, Helen M. Phelpi, Still More Story When I:clix had been at D.G.H.S. for a few months, the students changed from just a seething mob of high school goers into freshmen, sophomores, juniors, and seniors. Our hero held an election with his inner self at that time, and the results showed: 1. Most human class Freshman 2. Most intolerable class Sophomore Most sophisticated class Junior 4. Most unapproachable class Senior Sol learned of the modi election. Aw, Felix, don't classify 'em like that. Remember that there should be among us a bond of friendsinp, a common tie that links ns together as stu- dents of D.G.H.S.

Page 37 Seniors’ Class Hisrorv 'I remember, I remember,” quoth the senior tall and bright. As he sauntered through our corridors on graduation night, What a bunch of frenzied freshmen dashed around this marble floor. When our high school was invaded by the Class of ’54. With Sally Baxter as our president and Robert Younts her aide. We soon had conquered early fears and then some progress made; Lucille Lundgren wrote the minutes of our meetings with a dash. While Ben Groves, our worthy treasurer, piled up the freshman cash. Alice brazier ably managed all the work of social rep. Under her administration parties ne’er lacked punch nor pep; With Miss brush and Mr. Cressey, and Miss Reuther and Miss Duke As our faculty advisors, we ignored the loud rebuke Piled upon us by the soph’mores and the seniors—ah, foul play! They ridiculed all freshmen meek throughout the livelong day. After due deliberation and on faithful chieftain bent. We elected Hubert Lacey as our second president. Alice Frazier and Ted Shattuc were two great auxiliaries. While the secret ary-trcas’rcr’s post was filled by Harry Pease. Aided by our three advisors, we once more obtained renown. We were counselled by Miss I lowland, Mr. blerrell and Miss Brown. We then selected Robert Younts as zealous premier. And Captain Barbara Weinheimer helped plan each big affair; To the secrctary-treas’rcr’s place one William Rives we chose, I larry Miller as our social rep was always on his toes; And when Miss brush and Mr. Nelson and Miss Yates and Mr. Holt Directed junior destinies things moved without a jolt. The Importance of Being Earnest” was by skillful actors manned. Which resulted in a junior play that all agreed was grand; With the legal tender and the talent gathered up therefrom Committees started lab’ring hard to plan the junior prom. Due to Dutch-blue decorations and a lavish bill of fare. The pro n of ’3 5 we dubbed a celebration rare. We received on Recognition day the senior's wooden spoon. Our class then sang in accents gay— We’re ‘Reaching for the Moon’.” We elected to our cabinet three officers well-known, Robert Jones' we chose as president—but he was not alone— Harry Miller served as right-hand man to our intrepid chief, Margaret Murphy was our treasurer, and wrote the minutes brief. In this last great year of high school we have travelled fast and far. With Mrs. Andersen. Miss Sheldon. Mr. Johnson, Mr. Mahr. The senior paused and wiped away a teardrop from his cheek, Four years.” he sighed, have scurried past, since we were freshmen meek. Now there’s senior recognition, baccalaureate, the play. Not to mention the prom and class night, within the month of May.” Our hero sighed a quivering sigh—he sadly murmured Gosh— I’d gladly miss them all to be once more a tim’rous frosh.” ysV . . .

In three years the Student Council has developed from an unorganized, inexperienced group to an efficient, representative council, governing and promoting many student activities. The council is recognized as the most important organization existing in school and has gained constantly in significance. The seven representatives of each of the classes meet every Friday morning in Mrs. Andersen’s office to discuss problems which have been brought before the group. They have been instrumental in presenting and sponsoring many worthwhile move- ments for the student body. The presenting of the Alma Mater song, the sponsoring of the dancing class and football rally together with the courtesy contest are only a few of many events the Student Council has made possible. The Social Committee is now a student council committee and has promoted many enjoyable and worthwhile social functions. The Program Committee has made a survey of the activities of every person in school. This body aided in the formation of several new clubs including the Booster Club, the Kodak Club, and the Model Club. The officers of the Student Council this year were: President, Ralph Anderson; Vice-President, William Rives; Secretary, Sally Baxter. SOCIAL COMMITTEE B .4 Rou.

National Honor Society What is the highest honor that one can achieve while in high school? Mr. I)e Wolf has called membership in the National Honor Society the greatest distinction to be received throughout the entire high school career of any student. Four years ago Downers Grove High School was chartered as a chapter of the National Honor Society, and since that time it has grown in importance until today it is the goal for which every student in school strives. Membership in the organization is limited to fifteen per cent of the Senior class, and five per cent of the Junior class. For the past two years members of the society have been selected by the rating system. Every teacher with whom the pupil comes in contact rates the student in character, leadership, and service. The highest possible rating is five, and the average of the members of the organization is well over four. Being in the upper third of the class is the scholarship requirement for membership. Students elected to the National Honor Society are announced in the spring and are presented with either the pin or pendant during an impressive ceremony in assembly in which old members take part. This organization gives recognition to students whos. work might otherwise go unnoticed by the student body, and is a fitting reward for all that is fine. Page 56 . . .

It’s the Booster Club going into action during one of the many athletic contests held during the school year, or perhaps it is one of the many clever pep stunts put on for the student body in assembly on Friday mornings. The Booster Club was organized this year to give more united and spirited support to the athletic teams. The group got off to a rather late start, but once organized they certainly made up for lost time. The backing that the club has received from the students promises a long and enjoyable existence for such a group. With an early start next fall, the Booster Club should become one of the school’s most prominent and popular extra-curricular activities. You’ll hear more of this organization in the future. This year’s officers were: President, Robert Jones; Vice-President, William Barry; Secretary, Dorothy Bollow. The advisor was Miss Brown. Page iS . . . Activities The 1934 Cauldron High Life Old Man Depression may have some of us down and out, but not so with High Life, our school paper. In accordance with President Roosevelt’s plan of a New Deal, High Life has been issued bi-monthly, independent of any local papers. This was made possible financially by ads of local merchants, candy sales, and also by the hundreds of students who received the paper through the stamp plan. High Life ranks with the best of the school papers, having received the Quill and Scroll award of superior achievement, a first honor rating in the N. S. P. A. Contest, and honorable mention in the Quill and Scroll activity contest. In February Velma Reed took first honors in a feature writer’s contest of the east central division. The local chapter of Quill and Scroll acquired six new members at the annual assembly when Dr. H. F. Harrington, Dean of the Medill School of Journalism, pre- sented them with their pins. Four more members were received into the society during the second semester, raising the total new members this year to ten. The chapter has promoted a school magazine to publish the literary efforts of the students. Along with the magazine, a news bulletin board is sponsored by the organization. The board is posted at the main entrance and supplies the latest news of scores and school events. The paper has been well represented at press conferences, having sent delegates to the N. S. P. A. convention at Chicago and representatives to the monthly meetings of the Chicago Press Guild.

Cooperating with High Life, civics classes forbade the circulation of election returns so that the paper could scoop the story, thereby selling more copies. The last issue of the paper was devoted to the seniors. It contained many special features in their honor, including by-lines on stories written by senior staff members. The issuing of an independent paper brought the entire staff face to face with many new problems, such as writing headlines, planning the makeup of pages, reading proof, making up dummies of the paper, and assisting in the actual makeup at the printing office. This year’s staff has proven to be a very capable organization, and it deserves much praise for the manner in which it has done the work. Much credit is due the editor, Willis l ariss, for the fine job he has done in supervising the paper to- gether with Miss Hennis, the faculty advisor. Putting out a separate paper is no small job after being under the sheltering wing of another paper for so many years. How- ever, our staff has not only accomplished this, but has also established a reputation for itself throughout the country. The Editor. Page 60 . . . Activities Tm 1934 ,Caui dron Band school year finds our school band a increasing importance and popularity has not increased in size appreciably, it has achieved higher standards musically. Proof of this statement may Ik found in the exceptionally fine record made by the band in the last state and national music contest. For the first time in the history of our school it won first honor rating in the district band contest held at York Community High School. Three weeks later the band won first honor rating in the State Final Band contest held at the University of Illinois. This victory placed our band on a par with the best bands in the state. It was privileged to play in the National Band Contest which was held after the close of the school year at Evanston, and was given a second honor rating there among twenty-eight of the best school bands in the country. While the contest activities of the band make up only a part of the year’s routine, it is a part which is greatly enjoyed by the students and which affords them a much deserved climax to the year’s study and practice. The band is composed of two organizations, the military band and the concert band. The military band performs at all home football and basketball games and street parades. The concert band has for its function the presentation of musical programs for school assemblies and concerts. The passing of another musical organization of ever- in the community. While it The concert band combined with the Hinsdale Township High School band gave a fine concert at Downers Grove and Hinsdale. The results obtained by this combina- tion were most gratifying and thoroughly enjoyed by all the members. At Downers Grove Day at A Century of Progress, the band was guest of the fair and played short concerts at various buildings. At the district band contest held at Joliet this year, playing in Class A” division for the first time, the band placed first in the second division. The woodwind quintette brought additional honors to our school, winning a first division rating in the district contest and at the national contest held at Chicago the following week, came through with flying colors, bringing home a second division rating. As the band achieves higher standards of per- formance the qualifications of its members be- come a more serious matter. As a band can never rise above its conductor, neither can a band rise above the ability of its individual members. How- ever, any student with a reasonable amount of musical ability and with ambition enough to over- come the primary technical obstacles which con- front one in the playing of a musical instrument is invited and urged to join the band.

Vocal Music Soft voices, sweet music, and a multitude of good fellowship. Such an atmosphere can be found in the Downers Grove High School music department, which includes the finest young voices in the community. The Vocal Music Department is divided into several parts, mainly the A Cappclla Choir, the Girls’ Chorus, and the Boys’ Chorus. The A Cappclla Choir is doubtlessly the most select and talented of the three, being composed of the best voices in school. Membership in the organization is by invitation only, and to be a member of such an outstanding group is a privilege in itself. Last year the choir won first place in Class A division at the Illinois State High School Music and Literary Association meet held at Macomb, Illinois. The group also experienced a long to be remembered occasion when it broadcast over station WMAQ of Chicago. The Choir is very prominent in the civic affairs of our local community and has provided many programs for various functions and clubs. It sang on Downers Grove Day at A Century of Progress this fall, enter- tained the Women's Club of Downers Grove, and has taken part in exchange assemblies with Riverside and York. At our own high school, the choir has presented an Armistice Day program and a Christmas program. It will end the year by singing for the com- mencement exercises. The Girls’ Chorus is made up of forty-eight girls, all of whom have had previous experience in group singing and have proven their excellence along this line. They, too, have rendered an outstanding service with the fine programs which they have put on. Along with the Boys’ Chorus and the A Cappclla Choir, this group has been greatly responsible for the impressive Armistice and Christmas programs and has pre- sented entertainment in assemblies. Talent for the annual operetta was obtained from all three of the organizations. Consisting of many fine voices, the Boys’ Chorus is always a welcome addition to any program. This year the boys got off to a good start and soon were in demand for Downers Grove High Sciiooi Activities . . . Page 6) GIRLS’ chorus Top Ron : Smith. Novak, Svhuct . Kram r. Jono. Bing«mann.

This year Mr. Pohlmann intends to take the group to Macomb to nter into state competition, which shows the confidence he has in the members. The Boys’ Chorus combines with the Girls’ Chorus to compose the Mixed Chorus, an organization which has accomplished much in the field of music. The music these groups sing is the type most usually confined to adult choruses. For this reason such music beautifully sung is an accomplishment and is rcadils appre- ciated by all who know good music. The members of the beginning classes study the fundamentals of music which always prove valuable to them and are necessary for an understanding of the more advanced singing taken up in the choruses. That there are an unusually large number of students interested in vocal music at our high school speaks very well for the department.

Girl Reserves When two hundred and fifty girls resolve To find and give the best,” as the purpose of an organization; something is bound to happen. It did. Today the Girl Reserve Club is the largest organization in school. A well arranged program is largely responsible for the ever increasing membership. The hobby groups offer the girls the opportunity to become better acquainted with the hobby in which they are most interested. The Charm Club, under the direction of Miss Yates, and the Dramatic group are the two most popular clubs. Smaller in membership, but none the less important arc the Crafts group supervised by Mrs. Nelson and the Vocational Club headed by Mrs. Andersen.

The Social Service Committee led by Lucille Lundgren and Marge Corson did very worthwhile work in distributing baskets to the needy at Thanksgiving and Christmas. The committee also sponsored a Christmas party for pre-school children. The Finance and Publicity Committee represented by Clara l uller and Vera Barbier has done excellent work in supervising the candy sales to finance the club and in making posters to announce the meetings. The Social Committee under Jayne Wells and Doris McAlpine was directly re- sponsible for the success of the Big Sister Tea and the informal initiation. Together with the Hi-Y Club, they made that party one of the social highlights of the year. Pauline Breaw and Louise Schuetz have made the Music Committee an indispensable part of the club activities. The officers of the Junior-Senior group are: Frances Ehr, President; Jean P'ariss.

Page 66 . . . Activities The 1934 Cauldron Hi-Y You get out of life what you put into it” and Hi-Y members aim to give the best they have. The 1 li-Y group is one of the outstanding clubs in the high school and is noted for its interesting and unusual meetings which include vocational questionnaires, discussions, and outside speakers. One of the highlights of the year was reached when the civics classes were invited to hear State’s Attorney Reed speak on Crime Detection Methods,” which appealed greatly to the two groups. During International Week foreign born speakers gave very interesting accounts of conditions and customs in their native lands. Having been represented at the Hi-Y session at Camp Seymour near Decatur, Illinois, the club has had the advantage of knowing the latest ideas and activities from Hi-Y Clubs throughout the state. The initiation of new members, restricted to the upper classmen was held during the last month of school. The induction ceremony was put into the hands of the induction team which has done good work throughout the whole school year. The Hi-Y has made many other contacts with schools. The organization co- operated with the Naperville Y M C A in planning the district Older Boys’ Conference held at Naperville early this spring, and sent a large delegation to the convention. Representatives from the Downers Grove Chapter also went to the state conference at Springfield. The Aurora officers entertained our cabinet at an interesting discussion and luncheon, and our induction team traveled to LaGrange to initiate new members into that club. Each year the members look forward to much enjoyment at the Hi-Y basketball Induction Ccremon.- JUNIOR-SENIOR HI-Y Top Ron Andciwn, Ham,. Dorn. Barry. McGuire, Hubhert, McAfee, Kueflner.

This year Downers Grove was represented in a district lli-Y basketball tournament which was held at Joliet. Baseball is planned for the club athletes in the spring. The annual ping-pong tournament is always hailed with much enthusiasm. The questionnaires sponsored by Hi-Y have met with much favorable comments and will undoubtedly become a permanent feature of the club. The organization has rendered a new service this year by handling the newspapers for the kindergarten fund. The school was made newspaper conscious” and the campaign was quite a success. Together with the Girl Reserve Club the Hi-Y promoted the annual dance in the form of a Byrd” party and made it a social success. The unusual program will be something not soon forgotten. The I li-Y organization sponsored several stag affairs and club parties, much to the enjoyment of those members who were eligible under the new attendance plan put into effect for the first time this year.

The trials and tribulations of seventeen—high school age—shown in a realistic but doubtlessly exaggerated manner at the performance of the all-school play. Seventeen, presented in the High School Auditorium on November 16 and 17 under the direction of Miss Wood. booth Tarkington could be justly proud of his famous story had he attended the play, for it was put across in a manner which bordered on a professional production. William Baxter, aged seventeen, is that way about Lola Pratt, a summer visitor in the local neighborhood. The youth’s infatuation causes him to go to great lengths to impress the fair maiden. But wait—he finds all women are fickle—he is saved, and thus returns quietly to normal life.

Penrod Little boys may be made of scissors and snails and puppy dog’s tails, but they arc also composed of a vivid imagination as was shown by the all school play, Penrod, presented on May 23, 1933. When Mr. I)ade, a smooth-tongued stranger, makes advances toward Margaret Schofield, her younger brother, Penrod, immediately takes a decided dislike to the stranger, little knowing as did anyone that Dade was an imposter and a swindler.

The play, given February 28 and March 1, under the direction of Miss Wood, proved to be a most outstanding pro- duction. When a notorious gang of criminals use a radio station for a means of communi- cation, things are bound to happen. With an informer on the staff of radio station WPH, the gang proceed to boldly rob a series of banks. Suspecting the brains” of the bandits as Dr. Workman, a radio spiritualist, Walter Brokenchild, chief announcer of WPH, is foiled in an attempt to capture the criminals when Workman is murdered while broadcasting. Himself suspected of the crime, Brokenchild proves his innocence and also tricks the real murderer into a confession by a clever ruse.

Forsooth, my good yeoman, if thou had faitested to traverse to yon Downers Grove High School on the twenty-sixth and twenty-seventh days of April, thou missed a great event. For there the mighty Robin Hood and his band of merrie men held forth in high fashion much to the enjoyment of the vast multitude of the populace which congregated at the auditorium at the appointed time. Ben Booster, a promoter, born five hundred years loo soon, when initiated to the famous band, decides to put the outlaws on their feet, financially, by incorporating them to increase their income.

Amici Latine Take it from the Latin student— E Pluribus Unum ’ is not limited to the coins of the United States, but also describes the “Amici Latine” or friends of Latin.” Not only does the club have a large membership, but also an active one. By taking part in the programs, which are held the first Tuesday in each month, the members come in contact with Roman life and ideals. The organization also strives to acquaint the students with literary and historical contributions of the Romans, to develop a greater facility for reading Latin, and to promote friendliness among the members. The L.atin Club docs its share for providing social entertainment by helping to make the an- nual language club dance a success. The Amici Latine’ sponsors one of the most unusual and in- teresting functions listed in the social calendar, the Roman Banquet. This year the banquet was held on April 21, the date of the founding of Rome by Romulus and Remus. The story of these two famous twins was used as a theme for the banquet. The officers for the year were: Consules, Jane Anderson, bred Hlady; Censor, Betty Lee Chessman; Quaestor, Marguerite Cook; Aedile, Louise Schuetz; Custodes, John Pylat, Clifford Reid.

With an ever increasing membership and some new policies, the club is making rapid development. The Spanish Club, like its fellow organization, the French Club, is divided into several chapters. Each holds meetings once a month during class time and has elected officers for each of the chapters. The club’s purpose is to familiarize the students taking Spanish with the customs, literature, and culture of the Spanish nation. Time is also given to acquaint the members with the history of Spain. Correspondence is held between our club members and students in Spanish schools. The group looks forward with much anticipation to the annual language club dance, for which they are partly responsible. One of the most interesting programs of the year was held in November when Manual 1 linjosa Mores, a graduate of the National University of Mexico City, spoke to the club entirely in Spanish and answered the questions of the mem- bers. He also taught the Mexican national anthem to the club. The presidents of the classes were: Second period, Vir- ginia Tholin; Fifth period, Wilbur Littlcford; Sixth period, Richard Cavanagh. The faculty advisor was Miss Howland. Page 74 . . . Activities The 1934 Cauldron Top Rou . Sul. II .rinun. Albct. Arndi. Bingcminn. Minin. Co xm, Camming� . Fjritt, Clark. Fuller, Half. Crowther.

Each of the two French Classes forms a chapter of the club with its own officers, and meetings held once a month during the class period. The members aim not only to increase their knowledge of the French language and literature, but to learn more of the history and customs of that foreign land. Through these practices the organiza- tion hopes to foster international good will. Along with the other language groups in school, the French Club cooperated to make the annual language club dance a howling success in any man’s language. The pupils arrange the programs each meeting so that every member is asked to take part in at least one during the year. As the club promotes correspondence between its members and young French people who are studying English, many in- teresting letters and snapshots have been received which are truly representative of the French people. The officers of the third period chapter were: Presi- dent, George Barry; Vice-President, Marge Corson; Secre- tary, Betty Staats. Seventh hour officers were: President, Robert Jones; Vice-President, June Albee; Secretary. Eliza- beth Osborn. The organization is under the advisorship of Miss Howland.

Wrong again, this is not an elementary class in mathematics but merely a Hambel testing the public address system for one of the many school functions. This is only one of many hobbies which have grown out of active membership in the Radio Club. Among the other radio wizards in the club are Harlow Reed and Emerson Mcjdrich who operate their own amateur stations W90LA and W9RIQ r - spectively. The entire club paid a visit to station W9OLA to acquaint themselves with the finer details of amateur work. The members of the organization aided in the con- struction of a club station and have put in their application for operating the station. The club was divided into two groups during the year. The beginners were in- structed by Mr. Wolfe, the faculty advisor, in the elements of radio. An advanced group, composed of older members of the club, led by the president of the organization spent their time constructing the club station which will increase the interest of the entire school in this organization. The officers for the year were: Presdcnt, Harlow Reed; Vice-President, Harold Dorn; Secretary-Treasurer, Clifford Reid. Page 76 . . .

The biology Club, although a comparatively new organization, has been given fine support by the biology students. The motive of the organization is to enable those interested in biology to follow the urge for investigation in that science beyond the limit of the class room. Meetings arc held once a month, either after school or during the evening. At some of the meetings actual dissection has been done by members of the club to compare the brain of a rat with a model of the human brain, or to observe the internal structure of a rabbit. At other meetings outside speakers and students have talked on subjects of interest. Movies of wild life have also been procured for the club. It is the pride of the organization that on field trips enough frogs and turtles were caught so that none had to be bought for class use. Although many trips were taken, the outstanding ones were to the General bio- logical Supply House and the Northwestern Medical School. The most unusual feature of the year was the pet show in which the mem- bers took great enjoyment. Ending the year in grand style the organization took a long awaited trip to the Indiana sand dunes. The officers for the first semester were: James Reninger, President; Marguerite Cook, Vice-Presi- dent; Elizabeth Osborn, Secretary-Treasurer. The officers for the second semester were. Marguerite Cook, President; June Wininger, Vice-President; Edna Foley, Secretary-Treasurer. Downers Grove Mioii School Activities . ■ . ' Rjfk Rot,: |i� nc'. Kline, DroNhigen. MimliclJ. .NokI, liojg.

Math Club Girls, don’t try to use your lines on the members of the Math Club or you’ll find yourselves up against any number of line segments, irregular solids, and pi, all slightly flavored with logarithms and tables of squares, for those are the weapons used by these young Einsteins to parry such thrusts. The Math Club got ofl to an early start this year toward the high goal which the organization has set up, mainly to promote interest in mathematics and to acquaint students with the vast field it covers. A program committee is responsible for the arrangement of the programs of the meetings which are held twice a month and usually consist of presentations of unusual or unique mathematical problems. Trips also formed an interesting part of the club’s program. A visit to the Mathe- matics and Science buildings of the University of Chicago followed by the Chicago- Indiana football clash proved to be one of the highlights of the whole year. Star- gazing at the Adler Planetarium was enjoyed by the entire organization, and so high did the interest in astronomy soar that plans for a club telescope are now under way as is a journey to the Dearborn Observatory at Evanston, Illinois. Membership in the Math Club is limited t those students who have had. or arc taking, ad- vanced mathematics as the work of the club de- mands knowledge of this subject. The officers of the Math Club this year are: President. William Barry; Vice-President, Arno Uhlhorn; Secretary Treasurer, Ethel Bauer. The faculty advisor i Mr. Herrcll. Page 78 .. . Activities The 1934 Cauldron Book Club A blessed companion is a book—a book fitly chosen is a life long friend.”—Donald Jerrold. The members of the Book Club will never be friendless for they are making a study of various modern books with the aim of stimulating interest in present day publications and their authors. At each meeting a book is reported upon by a member of the club which brings forth an interested and varied discussion in which the whole group enters with much enthusiasm. Constructive criticism of the report is part of the program and this aids the entire organization to better their reports in both the club and the classroom. The activities of the group have not been confined to literature alone, but have extended into the social field. A number of suc- cessful pot-luck suppers have been held which have aroused the appetites of all those present. The entire club is eagerly awaiting the proposed trip to the Chicago Library which should be interesting as well as educational. The organization has also taken a keen interest in planning the scrap book which is to contain clippings and items of interest concerning authors and novels. The Book Club was organized in 1932 in response to a continual clamor for such a club. The organization of the group was laregly due to the efforts of Ray Zimmer- man, who realized the value of such a club. Officers during the past year were: Ray Zimmerman, President; Jack Bolton, Vice-President; Lucille Lundgren, Secretary-Treasurer; Assistant Secretary, Lorraine Prescott.

Corton, Library Club If a high school is judged by the library it keeps, we are sure that Downers would rate very high. Much of the credit for our up-to-date book center is due to the mem- bers of the Library Club, who spend from three to eight hours a week assisting with the library work, under the direction of Miss Natzke. The organization maintains a complete clipping file and bibliographies on current topics. The members keep the volumes in repair and help the students by checking out books. Every third Monday the club meets and discusses problems of interest to the library as well as plans for future activities. Next year the group intends to sponsor a library study class which will meet at least once a week. In November the organization started a campaign in which the students were asked to bring to school old books for which they had no further use. The money from the sale of these volumes is to be used to buy new books for our library. The officers for the past year were: President, Betty Hasselbachcr; Vice-President, William KucfTner; Secretary, Jean Hoerter. The advisor for the club is Miss Natzke. Pa c SO . . .

Model: Mirjce Gorton, Art Club Has Downers Grove High School any students with artistic talent?” What an easy question to spring on any pupil of good old D. G. H. S. The answer is, Of course.” Who hasn’t heard of the Art Club? This year the Art Club started a new activity along with the regular sketching and drawing practice, that of studying the famous artists. The club did not confine its study to the noted painters, but broadened it to include the world famous sculptors and works of these geniuses. The group spent much time in sketching snow-scenes, interior scenes, and individuals who posed for the members of the organization. The meetings are held on the first Friday and the fourth Thursday of each month, at which time most of the work is done. The Art Club has rendered a fine service in designing and making programs for dances and other social functions of the school. The organization aims to give students interested in art an opportunity to broaden their knowledge in that field, and to present a means of expressing their feelings with paper and pencil. To sec what others have done in this line the club took a trip to the Art Institute in Chicago. Here the members were able to see many of the finest works of art produced by artists through the years as these masterpieces were brought to Chicago for the 1934 Century of Progress Exposition. The club members took advantage of their opportunities and let nothing pass their artistic eyes unnoticed. The officers for this year were: Robert Miller, President; Barbara Wcinheimcr, Vice-President; Lorraine Prescott, Secretary.

The Model Club, a new organization in the high school this year, is not only a Model Club” in that the purpose of the organization is to construct models but it is also a model club” as far as the attitude and enthusiasm of its members are concerned. A' many meetings instruction in the various phases of modeling is given by me misers ot the club or by visitors who are invited to appear before the group. Contests with other clubs in the vicinity are held and much rivalry has arisen between the different organizations. Meetings are held on the second and fourth Wednesdays of each month. The aim of the club is to attain perfection m the science of model building in all of its branches. With the continued enthusiastic spirit shown by the club members this year, a verv successful future is assured the Model Club.

Thank you.” I bet the reader of this article thought that this was the Biology Club. Well, it’s not; it merely happens to be the Kodak Club in operation. Although a newly founded club this year, the Kodak Club has made much progress and already it is one of our most novel and interesting groups. Meetings of the club are not set at stated intervals, but are held at the most convenient time for the entire membership. A dark room has been set up in the back room of the general science laboratory, and members of the club are able to develop their own films. One of the outstanding activities of the Kodak Club was the aiding of the Cauldron Staff in taking photos for the various departments of the annual. Much credit is due the group for the way in which they stepped into such a task. At the meetings of the organization, different phases of photography are discussed by the members. Pictures have been taken by the members at dances, athletic events, and assemblies. It was only through the leadership exercised by various members of the organization that the club was able to attain the heights it did. Officers of the club for the year 1933-34 were: President, Robert Dickinson; Vice-Presi- dent, John McGuire; Secretary, Bruce Brennan. The faculty advisor was Mr. Herrell. DARK ROOM Downers Grove High Sciiooi Civics Club Activities . . . Page 8) The old slogan What this country needs is a good five cent cigar” was changed by popular demand to What this school needs is a good Civics Club.” As a result, each civics class formed a chapter of this club. The third period class was able to take more trips and have more programs because thev were organized first. The club was a financial success, as its members made enough profit from the sale of candy and popcorn at several of the plays to pay for the trip to the Federal Courts in the Chi- cago Post Office building. Through a member of the leg- islature, a permit was obtained enabling a number of members to visit the State Penal Institu- tion at Joliet. This experience was very constructive and changed a number of opinions concerning prison conditions. Trips were also taken to Hull House and to the Chicago City Council. Local conditions did not escape the sharp eyes of the Civics Club as a trip to the sew- age disposal plant of Downers Grove and a visit to a meeting of the town commissioners were made. Through Bernard Long, county probate clerk, the offices of every county official in Wheaton were open to the Civics Club when they visited the county scat. The speakers who talked to the club this year were Mr. Carlson and Mr. Grotcfeld, local lawyers; Mrs. O'Neill, state representative; Mrs. Paine and Reverend White, local citizens. During Youth Week the Civics Club sponsored a school election in which officials were elected for county offices in a realistic manner. The whole school took part in this election and great interest was shown in the whole procedure. Top Kot Drivimki, Mickcv. lempke. I n ur, Brcaw. Wininger, Alexander, Ritctl. Nachtwey, Nowack.

Continuation of Story The thud of the pigskin sounded merrily, but not for Felix. He had hoped and played for a place on the team and had failed— had never played a conference game. It teas the same that winter. When the referee’s whistle screeched out in the heat of the game, Felix ). Freshman was totally and undeniably among the missing. And here it was spring—Felix was jogging slowly round the cindery track, eyes down, his thoughts on his failure as an ath- lete. He might have crashed head-on into Solomon, but the Senior broke in on his dream- ing with: Still plugging, Felix ol pal? Got some good news for yon. Coach has you in mind for filling my position next year. Says you’ve got everything that goes to make an all-conference man. Good luck, frosh, and help D. G. H. S. win honors in ATHLETICS.

Those who have won Q” League or cheer leader letters are considered honorary members. The purpose of the organization is to train its members to be good school citizens and to encourage gentlemanliness and sports- manship. This year the officers of the club were: Carrots” Miller, President; Scotchie” Burns, Vice-President; Bill” Rives, Secretary-Treasurer. The major event for this organization during the year is the D” Club dance to which all D” Club members are admitted free. Another prominent feature is the banquet given the let termen at which some prominent leader in athletics is the speaker. The National Athletic Scholarship Society is an honorary organization to which only D” Club members may belong. Besides earning an athletic letter a member must have exemplified the highest type of citizenship and sportsmanship, and have kept his grades equal to or higher than the average of the school for three consecutive semesters.

Grimm Heavyweight Football Season A squad of forty football men entered the portals of football martyrdom on September first to be molded by Coach Grimm into an efficient football team. Of these forty prospects, eight were veterans. Seven of these eight were linemen and one was a backfield man. After two weeks of practice under a broiling Septemb r sun the heavies played a sloppy contest with Batavia and emerged on the long end of a 9-0 score. Considering an inexperienced backfield and a new line, our boys did well. The following Friday our Grimm warriors lost the night game at Wheaton. Our only marker in the 13-6 score came when Baronowski blocked a punt which Reninger promptly downed behind the goal line. The boys played a fighting game which gave the Downers fac- tion hope. Flaying our first conference game at Maine, Down- ers received her first real defeat, being on the bottom of a 19-0 score. Gallup and Christianson were the Mainiacs who did the damage. Bateman of the locals looked good. October fourteenth was the day our fans received a treat. Downers whipped Riverside-Brookfield to the tune of 27-0. With the aid of good line play and Mrkvicka’s superb booting, Bateman, Millsap, Allison and Reninger each rang up 6 points. Because of rain Saturday, the game at Hinsdale was played the following Tuesday. With Bob Stuenkel, two hundred pound Red Devil fulibnek, rampaging around for two touchdowns, it was our Jonah day. Dow NIKS (.ROM tlu.11 Scuooi Atii11 rics . . . Page X' Bateman scored our tally and Reninger converted. Our l oys showed poor cackling and hhK'king in spots which resulted in the Hinsdale 12, Downers 7 score. October twenty-eighth was the day the Wego Napoleons met their Waterloo to the si e of a 32-0 defeat. Despite the fact that Wego had a light, inexperienced team the locals displayed plenty of power. Bateman reeled of! several long runs for two markers and Reninger also scored two touchdowns on long passes. The heavies traveled to Elmhurst November fourth and succumbed to the York aggregation to the noise of 10-0. Both teams played poor ball but York he!.! an edge that Downers couldn’t overcome. Bateman and Allison showed well on defense. Downers rested for two weeks and then met Cilcn bard on her home field. After a hard struggle tin- locals lost by a score of 12-6. Both teams played well but Glenbard utilized her breaks to a better advantage than did her opponents. I.ittleford, Mill sap and Reninger, who will be back for next year’s season, looked good. The final check-up of the season showed two wins, four losses and none tied. Four seniors will be lost to the team next year. With nine letter men back for the coming season the prospects look bright. M T l lull l ' Page 90 .. .

Lightweight Football Season In answer to Coach Cressey’s call, fifty boys reported for the first practice of the season. There were fourteen veterans back, but three failed to scale under the new weight limit of 135 pounds. With four experienced backfield men and seven linemen the prospects for a successful season looked exceedingly good. On September twenty-third the purple and white team met the Batavia lights and turned them aside 26-0. Our boys, although small, looked good, but the losers were so weak that little could be learned as to the real calibre of our players. Prac- tically every backfield man got at least one marker and Bob” Simon galloped over the goal line for two. Playing a night game at Wheaton September twenty-ninth, the purple tornadoes emerged victorious 7-0. The game was scoreless until the third quarter when Simon, Purple fullback, caught a Wheaton pass and galloped seventy-five yards to the goal line, aided by perfect interference. He also made the extra point. Both teams seemed good on defense and ragged on offense. The tornadoes wended their way to Maine on Oc- tober seventh and returned with a tie, 7 to 7. Down- ers got her marker on a punt which Fariss blocked and Brown fell on. Maine received her goal on Downers’ penalties and a hard charging, hole opening line. Downers was by far the scrappier team but received two fifteen yard penalties on the ten yard line which balked any further attempt of scoring. On our home field October fourteenth, the lights lost to Riverside. Although the home team and outcharged the blue team, it lost on a blocked Coach Crcttcv Downi.rs Crovi: High Sciiooi Ahii i iks . . . Page 9 kick. It was a hard game to lose and one in which our players felt they received a had break. The final score was 7-0. 'Twas a cold and windy day at Hinsdale when the purple team hauled the Red Devils to a 0-0 tie. The game was marked with fumbling and poor tackling, which was largely due to the biting wind. Several times Downers had the ball on the enenn ten yard line, only to lose it on a fumble or misguided pass. O.i October twenty-eighth we entertained Wego. After an hour's battle, the locals won 13-0. Diener and Simon played heads up hall and Younts played his usual good game as Captain and quarterback. Wego was the first and last team that the ponies played whi:h did not out-weigh our team by at least ten pounds per man. The ponies went to Klmhurst November fourth and lost a hard game by a 15-0 score. Although heavily outweighed by Yord, the purple team made up the weight handicap with plenty of fight. At the ends of both halves our boys made determined drives only to be halted by the whistle. Carrots” Miller made sev- eral nice runs and Reidler played a bang up game at end. These two men were our lightest lightweights, their combined weight being less than 240 pounds. November eighteenth was the day our last game of t U.,-A,N Vul the season was played. The locals battled the under- rated Glenbard eleven, minus their quarterback Oster- ling, to a 0-0 tie. Seven seniors played their last game which accounted tor the fierce fight and determination shown in their playing. I'he lights finished their season with one win, two losses and three ties. !. !

Heavyweight Basketball As only three lettermen were back last fall, our prospects didn’t look so bright for a season such as we had last year when Coach Grimm’s team won the conference championship, Stagg and District Tournaments, and one game in the sectional tourna- ment. In the two pre-conference games Downers lost to Wheaton and Morton. After being nosed out in the (ilenbard game. Downers whipped Maine 46 to 25. In this game Reninger established a record of 23 points in one game. Slanec, Ocstman, and Rigsbee, plus other stars succumbed to the smooth playing Grimm squad the night of the alumni game. In a thrilling contest at Hinsdale, the purple whizzes lost in a overtime period. At Riverside our boys defeated the green team easily, and Millsap made 16 points for his record per game. Downers was defeated by the Riverside boys for the return game. In the district meet held at LaGrange, Downers beat Bcnscnvillc by a score of 36-31. The following day our heavies took (ilenbard to the tune of 26-23. The boys next played LaGrange, but lost by 3 points in a thriller . For the consolation the locals met their old rival, Hinsdale, and sent the red team home on the tail end of a 15-14 score. By beating Hinsdale and (ilenbard, conference champions, our season had a fitting end. Downers finished in second place with six wins and six losses. Reninger ended up the season by making all conference and being big point man in the conference. Coach Grimm loses his co-captains through graduation. Both Bateman and Miller have been successful in high school athletics, and their presence in the coming season will be keenly missed.

Captain Bob’' Younts and Scrappy” Diencr were the only regulars back and Soucek, destined to become the regular center, was the only sub. the rest of the squad was composed ot last year’s peewccs and eighth grade graduates. The squad lost two pre-conference games to Wheaton and Morton. The ponies were outplayed by Maine and Glenbard in two hard fought ball games and lost by small scores. In the following tilt the purple tornadoes beat the alumni squad, 25-11. The lights didn’t seem to be able to win a conference game, and although the team fought their hardest they failed to use the breaks to their advan- tage or to get points when they were needed. The local boys lost the next six games in peppy tilts. At Maine the lightweights played fine headsup ball and only after a tough break did the purple team succumb to the opponents attack. After losing to I iinsdale by 4 points in a flashy game. Coach Cressey’s squad were beaten in their next three Conference games. In the Wheaton Tourney the lights surprised everybody but themselves by beating the strong West Chicago team by a score of 20-19. They lost to York in the next game but beat Riverside in the consolation game to the tunc of 28-26. The apparent lack of success in the season was due not to Coach Cressey or the boys, but to the still competition. Every team in the conference except Downers was composed mostly of experienced seniors. With a veteran team back next year, the lights should have a good season. Tel’ Rou': Crcucy, Sagin.

On April 14 the class meet was held. The seniors, led by I .indstrom and Slancc, were first with 105 points. The Juniors and Freshmen were next with 18 markers apiece. In a triangular meet with Glcnbard and Maine, I.indstrom led the team with two firsts in the hurdles, but Glen- bard was first with 61 points. In a second triangular meet held here April 27, with Brookfield and Hinsdale, Downers emerged on top with 43 points. Lindstrom got first in the high and low hurdles and Slanec led in the discus and shotput. At the annual conference meet held at Downers, May 9, Glenbard finished first with 411 •_ points. Downers ended up fourth in the race, with Lindstrom and Slancc each getting two firsts. Slancc broke the con- ference shotput record of 43 feet 3 inches, with a toss of 47 feet 6 inches. At the state meet May 10, Slanec took sec- ond place in the discus and Lindstrom placed third in the high hurdles. Many Downers men have gone to the state meet, but Slanec and Lindstrom were the first purple athletes to place. Downers finished fourth in the district, with Lindstrom getting two firsts in the hurdles and Slanec two in the shot and discus. Although several track stars were graduated last year, Kroll in the mile and Rives in the dashes, along with other rising stars will un- doubtedly do their part this year to try to simcc reach last season’s record. i.nj «rom J t Dow ni kn Grom Hioii Sci-iooi A I HI I IKS . . . l d”C 10 i Us G7a.

Perhaps when you know of the work and fun entailed by this group, you will understand better just how appropriate such an underlying meaning would be.

Miss Bf� Every Monday and Wednesday night after school Barbara Weinheimer, the head of sports, reported to the Longfellow gymnasium to referee the games in all the tournaments. This position required a great sacrifice of time and energy and was held by a most capable girl. Though the Vice-President of most clubs i' little more than a figure-head, not so the G. A. A. oficial. She has the job of filing all the points made by members of the organization. Keeping these straight, when there are 150 members, is a really difficult task, yet Marion Kline has been able to handle it well. It was her responsibility to see that both initiations included all of the eligible girls (those having 100 points), and to be sure that thos. who had earned enough points received their awards. Of course in the absence of the Presi- dent, Marion takes charge. Sounds like a real job doesn’t it? ___________________________________ OFHCIAI. BOARD V . J. I� m. BiMrr. Brown. I 'uc-i.

Jean Fariss has managed their re- cording well, however, making reports of all in- formal meetings, hikes, dances, initiations, and formal meetings. Money is important to all active clubs and this is handled by two capable girls. Lucille Lundgren is the Treasurer and collects dues o! Page 104 . . . Athletics The 1934 Cauldron twenty-five cents a semester from the members. Ruth Monson is the Financial Chair- man. Hers is the difficult task of handling candy, hot-dogs, and ice cream sales at all home basketball and football games. Not only must she keep record of her sales and sec that her goods are on hand, but she must also get girls to help her sell it. If satisfaction comes from a job well done, Ruth should feel well content. With such an extensive social program you can easily understand the need for a good Social Chairman, and it was due to Sally Baxter’s effort that the girls enjoyed such a well-balanced social year. The best of High School executive boards needs the wisdom and restraint of an adult. Miss Fluent, who has been our girls’ athletic teacher for the past three years, has been advisor to the group. The growth of the G. A. A. has been so rapid, however, that an assistant advisor was needed, and Miss Brown acted in that capacity this year. Thus the club prospered under two capable advisors. The first initiation, held early in the fall, is the big event of the year. All manner of tortures arc construed for this informal procedure. Mr. Wolfe and his laboratory assistants have been aiding in this the last few years, producing chemicals of repulsive odors, painting luminous skeletons, and always having ready the harmless but effective hot-seat” or electric chair”—quite a shock to the initiate. One of the looked for annual events is the Christmas party. There is always a good orchestra and this year a combination of refreshments and favors were given each person in the form of a penny sucker with a paper snow-man tied to it.

Downi-ks Grovt; High School Early in spring a second initiation is held, so that those girls who were unable to get their 100 points for the fall induction would have a chance to join. This year it came in the third week of March and was quite as full of thrills as was the one in fall. Then, as a grand climax fitting to top off the year, comes the Spring Dance. This gala affair is a long awaited occasion for every G. A. A. girl. As you may know, this is once that the girls get the man of their choice and the good time that follows is inevitable. The decorations this year transported the guests to a tropical island under a blue sky. Palm trees and terraces flourished and an orchestra furnished music by the light of a tropical sunset (and elec- tric lights). During the evening the girls are given their awards of which they arc justly proud. The members earn points by taking part in such sports as hiking, bicycling, roller- or ice-skating, and tennis. Points arc given by the hour or by the mile according to the sport. Being chosen for a regular team gives from 5 0 to 100 points and substituting is rated accordingly. A semester average of A, A—. or B in the four major subjects and A in gym are worth from 10 to 25 points. Serving on a committee, being a good sport, and other similar services are rewarded by as many points as are merited. Perhaps the greatest honor any girl can get comes when the best all-around senior girl in high school i- WINNERS or LARGE IVS Top Rom 1 VImL I'jfm, Selig. SrtonJ Ron • Marie, Hcnderwn.

Rei� ncr Page IQS . . . Athletics The 1934 Cauldron Gym Classes j Mondays and Wednesdays, girls’ gym days, are the most favored of the week by the girl athletes of D. G. H. S. On these two days each girl who has satisfactorily passed a physical examination, takes an hour of gym work each week throughout the year. This period is enjoyable in itself and is made the more so by the great variety of the work pre- sented. The interest of Miss Margaret Fluent in her work and in her pupils is reflected by her well- planned classes. In the spring and fall months the classes arc held outside on the days when the weather is per- missible. In the fall baseball, hockey, and soccer are played by teams made up of pupils in each hour. Instruction as to playing each of these sports is given as well as the rules to be followed. Each girl is held responsible for this information. During the winter and on the inclement spring and autumn days classes are held in the gymnasium. Tap-dancing, clogging, rhythmic dancing, basketball, cndball, knee-base- ball, volleyball, and posture tests are the attraction in these indoor class periods. In- struction in clogging and tap-dancing has been one of the most popular features of this year’s work. Because of this an unusually large number of girls have mastered the art of these dances. Another feature of the indoor work is tumbling. This includes back- ward and forward rolls, cartwheels, and dives. The girls have also become very proficient in building pyramids. Posture tests are also given each year. There are three parts to this test: First, standing position; second, walking and running position; and third, exercising position. The girls who pass all of this examination receive a grade of A and a white chevron for their suits. When the results of this test arc known remedial work is given to those who need it. Track is the main interest of the spring classes. In this work the girls participate in dashing, hurdling, broad and high jumping, and basket and baseball throwing. Tennis though not a class sport, is participated in by those who enjoy playing it. There is also a tournament, open to all who wish to enter competition for the purpose of deciding the best feminine tennis players in school. ClojtKinK Downers Grom High School Athletics . . . JV r 109 Rythmic Dinting This year there was a great deal of work and excitement in anticipation of the Gym Exhibit which was given to benefit the kindergarten fund. The high school girls’ and boys’ gym classes, aided by the grades, put on their show April fifth and sixth. The older girls featured tumbling, clogging, and basketball, the latter played by the Senior and Sophomore class teams. Due to the large size of each of the classes, three or four squads were formed in each class with squad-leaders elected by popular vote. These leaders then appointed two captains on each squad and the captains chose sides, thus each squad was composed of two teams of a reasonable number of girls who could play against each other. W'hen outdoor sports are being enjoyed these squads take turns in the various sports, playing hockey one week and soccer the next or having baseball first and then track the follow- ing week. This made more work possible for each individual girl. Though there hasn’t been as much team playing during the periods as in former years, there are tournaments in hockey, soccer, baseball, cndball, track, and basketball. These after school games, played in the Longfellow gymnasium, are the source of keen competition and hearty enjoyment to the athletically minded jeune filles. This year the laurels have been quite evenly divided between classes. The first few nights on a game are used for practice and try-outs, then a team, composed of the best players is chosen by Miss Fluent and the tournament is played. Basketball, endball, and base- ball games arc entered by all four classes, while hockey is Junior-Senior competition and soccer, Freshman-Sophomore rivalry. Pyrimidt Even More Story medley of gladsome sounds greeted Felix as he entered the gayly decorated halls that carnival night. Barbers viciously announced their tvares—every- thing from ice cream to fortune-telling and from barbecues to telegrams. Then there was the vaudeville—a gay Caballero in a western setting; the Grapenufs; soft misty blue lights and gliding couples; sprightly tap dancers; the twang of guitars; sweet harmony. If was late when Felix returned home, but he lay wide awake; a new world had been opened for him. Fie seemed to see everything outside the prosaic, the common place, and he dreamed that night of a phase of school life that might well be termed FEATURES.
