SCHOOL COUNCIL The School Council is a representative body of students and faculty which was established to direct student activities and to promote the growth of real school spirit. Each of its members is elected from his home room. For eligibility to this association students must have at least a B” scholastic standard and a good character rating. It is through this organization that the wants of the student body arc brought before the administration and suitable legislation provided. The Council has achieved many worthwhile ends: it has published a hand-book, organized several clubs, and has co-operated generally with the fac- ulty and student body in effecting desirable changes or introducing new methods.

Nol in Pic lure: Jane Anderton NATIONAL HONOR SOCIETY The National Honor Society is made up of Juniors and Seniors who meet the high requirements in scholarship, leadership, service, and character sustained by this organization. Each year students are rated in the aforementioned characteristics by faculty members and the outstanding people up to five per cent of the Junior class and fifteen per cent of the Senior class arc elected to the Society. The exis- tence of such an institution as the National Honor Society encourages students to improve themselves and provides a fitting reward for those whose work is of a superior quality. At an assembly in May the newly selected members are presented with the National Honor Society Emblem, a gold pin appropriately engraved with the torch of knowledge.

Fifly-tix Downers Grove, Illinois QUILL AND SCROLL To promote an active interest in journalism our school maintains a chapter of Quill and Scroll, the international honorary society for high school jour- nalists. Only schools which are outstanding in the quality of their journalistic accomplishments may have a chapter of this society. This year seven members of High Life staff were elected to the society. They were awarded badges in an assembly at which James J. Colvin, assistant feature editor of the Chicago Daily News, spoke. Membership to Quill and Scroll is granted on the basis of quality of work, character, scholarship, and service to the publication. The most important work of the local chapter is the editing of the Trojan, an annual literary magazine. T R O JAN Sponsored by the local chapter of Quill and Scroll, the Trojan is an anthology of verse and prose writ- ten by the students. The purpose of the Trojan is to stimulate interest in creative writing and to provide an outlet for student talent. It is published only once during the school year and contains work collected throughout the year from English classes and from unpublished contributions to High Life. Before the Trojan was established, the Cauld- ron contained a department for literary work, but with the growth of the student body and the need for space in the annual this section had to be elim- inated. The Trojan rounds out the school’s jour- nalistic activities giving students three types of publications, newspaper, year book, and magazine. Fifly-sei'tit The 1936 Cauldron band The high school band this year was one of the best in years despite the fact that it has twenty-one new members and that it lost many first chair players by graduation last June. The band has appeared at all the athletic events during the school year as well as all the class plays. Two formal concerts were given and another, the annual tag day concert, was given the last of May. The band won first divi- sion honors at the district band contest and played in the state finals contest in April. Mr. Shoemaker is in charge of and directs all instrumental music.

C. studios in Chicago over a national hook-up. Besides their radio activities the choir took part in several other programs. They gave a con- cert of sacred music and spirituals at the Methodist Episcopal church, helped present a Christmas pro- gram for the parents of High School students and took part in an exchange assembly at Maine.

SPECIAL CHORUS Although vocal music is an optional study, approximately one-fourth of the student body participates in it. Beginning classes study the rudiments of music, harmony, and the lives of great composers. From these classes those singers who show the most promise arc placed in the special choruses. At Christmas time the combined choruses make their first public appearance in a program of appropriate music which is presented to the parents and student body. Practical experience in singing, a fine understanding and a keen appreciation of good music comes to the student through his participation in chorus work. All vocal music is under the tutelage and direction of Mr. Pohlmann. GIRLS CHORUS Top Row: Pezan, M. Conon, Wucrfel, Coles, Ross, Neidner, Johnson, Wolfe, Allanson, Drzazinski, Luttcr, Spangler.

GIRL RESERVES To find and give the best” is the purpose of this large organization which includes the majority of the girls in school. The club is divided into two groups which are in turn divided into hobby groups accord- ing to individual interests. Primarily the Girl Reserves is a service club, filling Thanksgiving and Christmas baskets and engaging in other charitable enterprises. This Christmas, a classroom was con- verted into a toy shop and the girls in collaboration with Hi-Y boys painted and repaired old toys for children of relief families. A doughnut and apple sale in the spring was held to raise money for gradua- tion clothes for needy grammar school girls. Besides its social service work the Girl Reserves has a well- filled social program, the G. R.—Hi-Y barn dance being one of the outstanding social successes of the season. The last event of the year was a Mother-Daughter tea at which new officers were installed and rings and spoons were awarded the girls who had served the organization best. Sixty-men The 1936 Cauldron HI-Y CABINET Blaida, Jones, Feightner, Taylor Cleveland, Hall, Sheridan, Kidwcll, Staigcr, Milltap, Dent, Wolfe HI-Y The Hi-Y has as its goal the attainment of good standards of Christian character. Their program is centered about the four C’s—Clean speech, Clean scholarship, Clean sports, and Clean living. At the regular meetings the boys discuss political, economic, religious, social, athletic, and vocational problems. Their social development is encouraged by the annual Hi-Y—G. R. Dance, and other events such as the ping pong tournament and the Father and Son dinner. Hi-Y is closely associated with other schools in being one of the nine members of the West Suburban Hi-Y council. The Junior-Senior officers for this year arc: president, Bill Staigcr; vice-president, Paul Blaida; secretary-treasurer, Bill Taylor; council repre- sentative and treasurer, Stewart Millsap.

The club held it meet- ings once a month but members of the squad could be found at work on briefs and spe chcs flmost any day after school. Practice debates were held with teams from Dwight, Sandwich, Proviso,“''East Aurora, Elgin, and Wheaton. Three conference debates were entered with Hinsdale, Maine, ayd a Grange.

T Sixty-nine The 1936 Cauldron FRENCH CLUB The French club is an organization to stimulate an interest in foreign countries, their languages, and their customs. The meetings are held during class periods once a month, and consist of various reports on France, French plays, and fascinating talks by Miss Howland on her trip to Europe. At one meeting, Mrs. L. K. Hart, a fine linquist, entertained the club with several amusing French stories. The students had a pot-luck supper, and Miss Daveys, a teacher from the Avery Coonlcy School, gave an account of her experiences teaching in France. The main social event of the year was the International Dance and the French club, which collaborated with the Spanish and Latin groups, was partly responsible for its success. This year the stage was decorated with patriotic streamers of red, white, and blue. A long line of flags from the countries Italy, France, Spain, and England was hung above the orchestra. The French group enjoyed receiving paintings and drawings from the International High School Museum, where student projects are sent and then exchanged for the work of students from other countries. The club has been invited to participate in sending contributions to the exhibit at the World’s Fair in Paris in 1937. By paying ten cents any student can purchase the name and address of a French correspondent. The letters are often brought to class to be translated and their contents are very amusing. The officers for the first year French students are: president, Mary Ann Bruns; vice president, Howard Dill; secretary, Arthur Lautz. The officers of the second year class are: president, Kenneth Jones; vice president, Dorothy Anderson; secretary, Bernice Bozynski. SPANISH CLUB The Spanish club was organized to acquaint the students with the customs and manners of Spanish speaking countries, and to provide practical use for Spanish. The club had Louis Montero speak to them about Cuba and Mr. Mason Taylor gave an account of his trip to Mexico. He brought three student musicians to the meeting, and they played Cielito Lindo” on their instruments while the Spanish group attempted to sing it with them. For a social event, they had an enjoyable Christmas party in the sewing room. Marvin Hall dressed as Santa Claus and distributed candy bars to all the children. After the refreshments, which consisted of Frosticks, the members played games and danced. Miss Louise Tellkamp, a former teacher in Brazil, gave a talk at this Christmas party on her experiences at Iguazu Falls. The most important social event of the year for the language students is the International Dance and the Spanish group helps the other language clubs to make it a success. The program started with the Parade of Nations” in which several students exhibited the style and dress of foreign countries. While a few members sang Spanish and French songs Donald Warner, the cartoonist, drew pictures of a cupid, a lamb, and a soldier to portray the meaning of the words. The club has a set of officers for each class, and the presidents arc: Fred Wilbur, Jane Volberding, Douglas Jordan, Bob Weiss, and Robert Roster. Miss Howland is the advisor for both groups.

F LATIN CLUB The purpose of this club has been to increase the understanding of Latin and of Roman customs, to provide educational as well as entertaining programs, and to promote friendliness among the Latin stu- dents. The members met once a month to enjoy readings, Latin plays, and special music. At one meeting slides on the customs of ancient Romans were shown, and at another a pantomime was given. The outstanding events of the Latin club were the International Dance and the Roman Banquet. The mem- bers came to the dinner dressed in quaint Roman gowns fashionable during Caesar’s reign. Place cards were in the form of scrolls, and contained the menu and program written in Latin. The menu was: Gustatio, Fercula, Membra, Gallinae, Piso, Tuber en Apio, Salada Olerum, Panis Oleum, Radices et Olivae, Mensae Secundae, et Glacias Duces. The program consisted of an acrobatic dance by Margaret Tcc and a juggling act by Wendell Fishell. Several of the students gave a short comedy, and Mason Taylor and Art Haase staged a gladitorial combat. The program ended with a flute trio consisting of Shirley Taylor, Jean Freed, and Richard Mann. A dance was held after the banquet in the high school auditorium, which was decorated to represent a Roman garden. In place of a president, the Latin Club has had two coun- selors as heads of the organization. The officers were as follows: counselors, John Fcightner and Caroline Lacy; secretary, Larry Fcightner; treasurer, Lillian Niedner; social chairman, Nathalie Schwander; advisor, Miss Yukor.

MATH CLUBS The goal of the math clubs is to promote and maintain an interest in mathematics and to acquaint the pupils with the more interesting and important phases of the subject. The Senior Math Club meets after school on the second Tuesday of each month and the program is in charge of a committee appointed by the president. Mathematical brainsters and fallacies are the usual topics of discussion. The use of the slide rule and methods of measuring the sun were explained by Mr. Lindberg, the advisor. The club had several social events, including a combination weiner roast and theatre party, a farewell party for Mr. Hcrrell, and a tea after one of the monthly meetings. The annual trips to Chicago University and to the Chicago Planetarium were taken. The officers of the club were elected at the first meeting of the year. The president is Genevieve Haller; vice-president, Marguerite Nelson; secretary, John Fcightncr; treasurer, Robert Fiala; Advisor, Mr. Lindberg. The Junior Math Club consists of the younger students who enjoy mathematics, and their meetings are held after school every second Thursday of the month. This year the members made some original designs for membership cards; their most important feat was constructing a clever map project, which included a collection of various types of mathematics from all the countries of the world. This spring some educa- tional tours to Chicago were taken to promote interest in math. The officers of this club are as follows: president, Betty Jean Anderson; vice-president, Joanne Hill; and secretary-treasurer, Marjorie Kendall.

At their weekly meetings they study aerodynamic design, by means of chalk talks and by demonstration. The clubs’ most inter- esting activities are model contests in which stick models under 100 square inches in area are entered. The first of these contests, held in the fall was won by Martin Block, whose model stayed in the air 1 minute and 30 seconds. The second contest, held in April was won by Sherwood Daily whose plane stayed aloft 2 minutes and 22 seconds, setting a new club record which was formerly held by Bob Underhill at one minute and 4S seconds. Robert Underhill was the club’s president for the year. The vice-president was Billy Hall and Bob Johnson served as secretary. KODAK CLUB The Kodak Club is composed of amateur photographers and those interested in the art of photography. At their meetings various photographical processes were discussed and studied. Mr. Pohlmann, an ama- teur movie enthusiast, showed several reels of his own pictures and gave some interesting information on home movies.” A bulletin board was hung in room 314 on which club members posted interesting snapshots. Access to a flash” camera made it possible for a large number of candid camera” shots to be taken in the halls, classrooms, and at plays, and dances. Members of the club cooperated with the Cauldron Staff in securing pictures for the yearbook. Officers for this year were as follows: Vera Barbier, president; Ruth Groves, vice-president; and Dorothy Eichorst, secretary. Mr. Lindbcrg, the advisor, was instrumental in stimulating the interest in photography. KODAK CLUB Top Row: Barnum, Steadman. Mullins, Pfaff. Kalinowski, Schorow, Dudgeon, McAndrews, Evan .

At the meetings rabbits, frogs, and fish are dissected, scientific talks are given, and movies of animal life arc shown. Besides these monthly meetings the program committee plans various field trips for the club. Enthusiasm is so great that they arc inspired to start on bird trips as early as six o’clock in the morning. In the spring the club enjoyed seeing the Tribune experimental farm and the Chicago Guernsey farm. The annual pet show, which is held in May, completes the club’s activities for the year. This display includes birds, cats, dogs, chickens, rabbits, mice, fish, and other specimens, and it is an occasion that the whole school always enjoys. The officers are: president, Peggy Simonds; vice president, Mason Taylor; secretary, Mary Kendall; advisors, Mr. Holt and Mr. Daigh. RADIO CLUB The radio club serves as an efficient guide for all those interested in studying the elementary theory and practice of radio. At the weekly meetings topics such as the purpose of tubes, electricity, and modula- tion are discussed. Speakers furnish part of the program, and at one meeting Mr. Lindberg gave a talk on Television”. To be a licensed amateur operator is the desired achievement of all members, and the club is proud to have two boys who have attained that goal—Emerson Mcjdrich and Clarence Hambcl. A student receives one-fourth of a credit each year by belonging to this club but, if he misses more than two meetings in a row he is disqualified as a member. He must also know the fundamental of radio theory so that he can pass the examinations which Mr. Wolfe gives twice a year. The officers of this club arc: president, Clarence Hambcl; vice president, Emerson Mcjdrich; secretary, Robert Beardsely; advisor, Mr. Wolfe. The 1936 Cauldron book CLUB Top Row: M.

BOOK CLUB The members of the book club meet once a month to acquaint themselves with better books, and to interchange their opinions and ideas of modern publications. Each year the club has bought a book for the library. Oil for the Lamps of China” by Alice Hobart and Goodby Mr. Chips” by James Hilton have been the gifts so far. At the monthly meetings novels, biographies, travel books, and plays were reviewed. A clever idea was adopted for one program when each student wrote an original composition and brought it to the meeting. A general discussion o cach contribution followed and helpful criticisms were offered. At the end of the year the club had a picnic at the Morton Arboretum and also visited the arboretum library, which contains a rare collection of nature books. The officers for the year were as follows: president, Jane Anderson; vice-president, Marjorie Wcsthafer; secretary-treasurer, Virginia Cor- son; advisor, Mrs. Andersen. LIBRARY CLUB To this club belongs partial credit for an efficient and smooth running library in our high school. The members, who were chosen on a basis of dependability and interest, were required to work certain hours during the week preparing news clippings, pasting scrap books, mounting pictures, and repairing books. One of the important achievements of the club was starting a library in the freshman study hall. The students took several trips to Chicago to visit the Field Museum, the Newberry Library, and the Kroch Bookstore. The program committee, consisting of Katherine Wolf, Marge Corson, and Mason Taylor, planned interesting book reviews and speeches for their meetings. Mr. Beadle spoke on his European tour; Mr. Taylor told of his trip to Mexico, and Mrs. Anderson talked on How to Read Books.” The officers of the club were as follows: president, Marjorie Krambs; vice-president, Margaret Peters, secre- tary, Stewart Millsap; advisor, Miss Natzkc. SriYB y-jix Downers Grove, Illinois COMMERCIAL CLUB The aim of the Commercial Club is to give typing and shorthand students practical information con- cerning office life, to create interest in commercial work, and to present a phase of business not given in class. The club had several guest speakers during the year. Mrs. Anderson spoke on the ways of apply- ing for a job, and Mrs. Kingsley chose as her subject, ’'Experience in Office Work.” At one of the first meetings, Miss Frush conducted a typing contest, and toward the close of school another contest was held to determine which team showed the most improvement in speed and accuracy. Officers elected for the year were: Vera Barbier, president; Lena Zahlit, vice-president, and Virginia Pezan, secretary- treasurer. Miss Frush served as the advisor for the organization. ART CLUB An extensive study of sketching was made by the Art Club as part of their program for this year. Club members posed for the various types of sketching as George Ganaway and Mr. Agncw instructed the organization. In addition to this work several meetings were given over to the fascinating art of soap-carving. Gay posters announcing and advertising the carnival and other school events were also the work of the group. Besides the club’s regular art work it also has several social affairs. Trips were taken to the Art Institute and to an art studio in the Wrigley Building. A picnic was given in the early fall. Their weekly meetings were held Wednesday afternoons in the sewing room. As their officers they elected Howard Dill president and Virginia McCollum secretary. Miss Reuthcr was the advisor for the club. COMMERCIAL CLUB Top Row: Kuetemeyer, Winder. M. Bruns, Ron.

HOSTESS CLUB Organized this fall to experiment with ideas for entertainment, the Hostess Club has become one of the most active clubs in the school. Meetings were held every Monday evening at the homes of mem- bers to make favors and centerpieces and to discuss party plans. Mrs. Andersen’s office served as the club’s school headquarters where anyone wishing ideas for a party might get suggestions for favors, refreshments and entertainment. Their first social event, Valentine—Leap Year party, Feb. 7, was a pro- nounced success and brought a bevy of questions from would-be hosts and hostesses. Mrs. Andersen guided the club, and Catherine Hasselbachcr, an alumna, instructed the girls in the making of clever favors and centerpieces. THEATER CLUB The Theater Club which has indefinite membership, was organized this fall for those who arc inter- ested in legitimate stage productions. The names of plays coming to Chicago were posted and those wishing to see them signed up and paid for their tickets in weekly installments. Among the productions witnessed by club members were Dodsworth” starring Walter Huston, Mansion on the Hudson,” a monologue by Cornelia Otis Skinner, Porgy and Bess,” and Walter Hampden’s portrayal of Cyrano de Bergerac.” In addition to these plays some of the members witnessed an opera, a performance of the American Ballet and an amateur production at the Y. M. C. A. College. Miss Hennis served as advisor, securing the tickets and chaperoning the parties. Seiruly elgl t Downers Grove, Illinois BOYS ATHLETICS COACHING STAFF EARL W.

Eithty Downers Grove, Illinois SHIFT HEAVYWEIGHT FOOTBALL SEASON Wheaton played host to Downers in the first game of the 193 5 football season. Millsap, Vcyscy, and Wilbur Littleford scored touchdowns. The score ended 22-2 with Downers on top. Proviso, the strong suburban team, was next in line. A hard game was played on both sides and the score ended 6-7 in Pro- viso’s favor. A small team from Argo went down in defeat to the tunc of 26-0 for Downers’ next vic- tory. The Hinsdale game proved disastrous even though Downers was the winner. Captain Wilbur Littleford dislocated his shoulder and was out for the rest of the season. The Maine and Riverside teams proved too powerful for the purple and white and both games were lost by big scores, 22-0 and 20-0 respectively. In the LaGrangc game, Downers had the blue and gold backed up against their goal most of the time but could not score, and LaGrangc won the contest 7-0 on an intercepted pass. West Chicago put up a good battle, but the heavier and more experienced Downers players overwhelmed them by the score 26-14. Soucek starred in this game with two touchdowns to his credit. In the next game with Glcnbard, the green and white played up-and-up football and turned back the Trojans by the score 19-6. Grove Millsap made most of the tackles for Downers in this game. The last game of the season proved to be the best of the year. The Downers team still felt the sting of the Glenbard game and put on their best exhibition of football at the York field. The fighting Trojans held York twice on the goal line. Bozynski made the touchdown for Downers with Stcwy” Millsap making a safety. The score ended 8-6 in favor of the purple and white. Eight seniors finished up their football careers in the York game: Captain Littleford, Lehmann, Jordan, Lack, Millsap, Reiman, Bozynski, and Soucek. The season totals up to five wins and five losses for a per- centage of .500. The score does not always indicate what type of game was played. Downers gave every school a run for their money and though they were not conference champions, they played like cham- pions. Fred Veysey and Dick Dictmeicr were chosen co-captains for next season. With a good backfield and three linemen returning, the 1936 Purple team should capture a conference title.

Eighty-four Downers Grove, Illinois PUNT LIGHTWEIGHT FOOTBALL SEASON The first encounter of the season for Downer’s lights was with Wheaton. The teams were evenly matched and neither side scored. Captain Lyon, Ralph Mickey and Grove Millsap starred for the purple and white. Downers next entertained the suburban team from Proviso, but the strong blue and white eleven overwhelmed the Trojans by a score of 19-0. In the game with Argo the purple and white played heads up ball and turned back their opponents team by a score of 7-6. Bcrtolin got away for some nice long gains and Capt. Mickey played a strong defensive game. The next game was with the Red Devils from Hinsdale. Superior passing beat Downers in the last minute of play as the score ended 7-0 in Hins- dale’s favor. Maine, who was undefeated during the season proved too much for the Downers team. The loss of Lyon and G. Millsap was felt heavily as the strong blue and white team romped through Downers for a decisive victory of 39-0. Riverside’s heavier and more experienced team turned back the invading Trojans by superior blocking and running to the tune of 27-0. Captain Mickey felt the brunt of the defense as usual. The speedy LaGrange team was held to one touchdown in the first half of the next game. Lack of defense proved fatal to the purple and white in the second half, however, and the blue and gold rang up two touchdowns to win the game 20-0. In the next game with West Chicago, Capt. Mickey came through and made the only touchdown of the day. Both the backficld and line- men charged and tackled hard. It was Downers’ first conference victory and the score was 6-0 in the Trojans favor. The invading green and white team from Glenbard had a tough afternoon beating Down- ers. Glenbard had a few breaks and made them good. The ponies deserve credit for holding the strong Glenbard team to so few points. Capt. Mickey played bang up ball all through the game, which ended 13-0. The York team seemed to score at will in the next game, winning by 30-0. Len Sadowski played a hard game at end. Although the lightweights were not conference champions they came through in every game in true Tro- jan style. With eight fellows returning Coach Crcssey’s ponies ought to have a successful season next year. PLAY NO. 48 F.i hty-fii The 1936 Cauldron Mickey, 't'hiic, Nykel. Kiiler, Winter.

HEAVYWEIGHT BASKETBALL SEASON Again Downers Grove has a championship basketball team. They finished the Conference season with an amazing record of thirteen wins and one loss. Teamwork and good-heady basketball were displayed in all of this year’s contests. Downers had the best defensive record of any school in the conference. In the entire season which includes all non-conference tilts, the totals showed nineteen wins and three losses. The starting five included Stew Millsap, Willie Littleford, Stretch Kidwcll, Jack Lyon and Frank Schcck. These boys worked as a high-powered, smooth-working machine. Only one pre-conference game was scheduled and that was played against Morton. The DeKalb invi- tational was entered during the Christmas holidays and the home five acquired two more wins and suffered their first defeat from West Aurora. LaGrange and Riverside furnished the stiffest competi- tion for the Trojans but they were both beaten twice in close, hard- fought encounters. Hinsdale, West Chicago, Glcnbard, and Maine were also beaten twice by the champs.” York’s surprise victory over the Trojans found the home team unprepared for what the opposition had to offer. However, when these two teams met again, Downers proved that the other game had been a mistake by handing the Green and White a 31-22 defeat. This year’s five had what it took when it came to individual stars too. For instance: in one of the LaGrangc games, it was Frank Schcck’s beautiful longs that brought victory. Stew Millsap’s 23 points in the Maine encounter put the home team way out in front. Willie Littleford was stellar against West Chicago while Stretch Kidwcll could always be depended upon for his tip-in shots. Jack Lyon was a good steady player although he didn’t do much heavy scoring. Four of the five were mentioned on the all-conference lineup. Millsap was chosen as captain and forward and Kidwell appeared as center. Littleford was named on the second squad and Lyon received honorable mention. Captain Millsap also appeared on the all-state lineup. Next year’s team will show an all together different array of players. The team will probably be built around Dietmcicr, McMaster, and Malacka. Bobosky, Jenkins and Grove Millsap will also be out there playing.

LIGHTWEIGHT BASKETBALL SEASON For the second successive year the purple and white lightweights have given the spectators hair raising performances. They played Morton to two overtimes and in three other games came from behind to win by one point. The individuals watching the games worked harder than the players themselves. The first starting seven were Co-Captains Grabiec. and Blaida, Diesing, Blakey, Rosier, Taylor and Feightncr. All of these players showed up equally well. Captain Grabicc made all-conference, Paul Blaida was chosen second all-conference and Bob Rosier won a berth on the all tournament team. Blakey and Dicsing did wonderfully well on defense while Taylor and Feightner filled in for everybody capably. The totals for the season were twelve wins and nine losses. They played in two tournaments, the Wheaton and Blue Island Tourneys. The Trojans finished fourth place in the conference and third place in the Blue Island tournament. They beat every team but Maine and LaGrange at least once. They were feared because they had a habit of upsetting the leaders. In their last game with Hinsdale the lights beat them 24-IS and this put Hinsdale out of the championship. If old man weight doesn’t interfere the lightweights will have another good season next year. Rosier, Blaida, Diesing, Feightner, Plankington and Kailcr will be back to bother the other teams next season. SCORES Downers Grove . .

THE KIDDIE KAULDRON DEDICATION We, the class of ’09 (rah, rah) do here- by dedicate our Kauldron to young Josepheus Orangeblossom, the typical stu- dent, in appreciation of his extreme ef- forts to make D. G. H. S. a bettah place to live. Josepheus got a straight A in phys- ics, donated three bicuspcds to the foot- ball field, and wrote the prizewinning English essay on The Trowel and It’s Uses.” LA TOUR One HnnJrtJ Nine KLASS OFFICERS The 1936 Cauldron STUDENT KOUNCIL The student council can be considered a more or lesser means of communication between student and faculty—example: 1st student: “Let’s strike!” 2nd student: We want shorter working hours and less classes.” 1st student: Take it up with the student council.” Three cheers! The faculty gets the afore-mentioned propaganda and we have a blue slip rally. Never-the-less—may we suggest—perhaps a later hour would be bene- ficial as to meeting time. Who can think at a quarter to 8, when the morning meal, having been literally pitched into the depths of one’s stomach is battling roundly as to who gets first turn with the gastric juice—the spring tonic, or last night’s cod-fish balls? However, a student council is an indispensable organization—says I.

As an introduction— we may say (as the warden said to the criminal) Don’t look now, but there’s a cell behind you!!” A cell usually gets lonely and di- vides itself up into three. Then, not being particularly congenial (as three is a crowd) it keeps dividing up into other cells. They soon have a regular mob, so they elect a committee and give an art exhibit. However, a hard working member of the club has, through much research work, grafted a piece of potato onto the bud of a maple tree, the result being most peculiar looking. The member was put on trial for disturbing the piece, and the jury pronounced him guilty. Ow Hundred Fourteen Downers Grove, Illinois REPORT ROOMS The report room, a newcomer this year is a decided asset, (in any man’s language). The principal advantage of this morning sirocco is that of learning to yawn with the mouth shut. Reports on clubs are sometimes given, but the person doing the orating is usually asleep at the switch, and finds himself finishing last night’s dream. (He was rudely awakened just when the pigmies had slit him open with a pen knife, and were about to garnish him with parsley and some of Grandma’s home-made piccalilli.) It is also a good place to discuss foreign affairs and politics, being fifteen minutes in length, and just long enough for a black eye.
