FOREWORD âComing events cast their shadows before.â The future is hidden in the shadows. The book of the year. Cauldron of 1937, permits us a glimpse of the future, and records only the pleasant hours. When memory of the past is dim and shadowy, these pages may cast a mellow light of outline over the days and hours the sun no longer shines upon and shape again for us our school year of 1937. i Administration Class Officers Seniors Underclassmen School Council National Honor Society The 1937 CAULDRON MR. DeWOLF The school system consists of the high and four grade schools. Two of these are primary schools, including the first four grades.

The purpose of the Council is to direct student activities and to develop the right school spirit. Each student representative, who is elected from his home room, must have at least a âBâ average and a good character rating. The Council sponsored the football cheering sections; started the Foreign Correspondence and Stamp Club; acted as host to Freshmen at the fall party; ran the Employment Bureau; managed the school dances; and the annual stu- dent assembly. Lillian Niedner acted as president, Margaret Warner as vice- president, David Jones as secretary, and Jane Johnson as Social Chairman. Mrs. Andersen. Mr. Daigh, and Miss Hennis are the representatives of the faculty.

The faculty members, rate the students in these requirements. Five per cent of the Juniors and fifteen per cent of the Senior Class are elected to the society. Newly selected members are pre- sented with the National Honor Soci- ety Emblem in an assembly in May. The purpose of the society is to en- courage improvement in scholarship and character growth.

A. R. CONTEST JOHNSON Jane Johnson, Virginia Corson, and Lillian Niedner were chosen by the seniors through report room elections to compete for the honor of being the D. G. H. S. representative at the D. A. R. Conference. From these three the faculty have chosen Lillian Nied- ner, whose name was sent to the state chairman, placed on file for the final selection at the state conference. At that time, three names were drawn from those on file: the girl who was first was the guest of the D. A. R. in Washington during the national con- vention, with all expenses paid. If she could not accept, the second and third, in order, may have taken her place. A good citizenship medal was presented to the girl attending the con- ference from each state. For two years the Daughters of The American Revolution have sponsored this citizenship contest. Girls are chosen who excel in dependability, service, leadership, and patriotism. Lillian Niedner has excelled in these four qualities: therefore her name was sent off with the sincere wish of stu- dents and faculty that it may have been the first drawn at the state conference.

This was the appeal made in assembly by Robert Fiala for subscriptions to the Trojan. The Trojan, sponsored by Quill and Scroll, represents the work of all four classes. The magazine, published once a year, contains poems, essays, and stories which may be either humorous or serious. Appeals were made in the English classes and by the school council members to get the material. Various students were asked to contribute the art work. The Quill and Scroll members decide on the material, edit it, plan the order, and decide on the design and color of the cover. The Trojan provides an outlet for student talent and aids in stimulating an interest in creative writing. Before the magazine appears, ex- citement runs high in finding out whose work is in print. Sometimes, even the author himself is surprised! QUILL AND SCHOLL Quill and Scroll is an international honorary society for high school journal- ists. Membership is granted on the basis of quality of work, character, scholarship, and service to the publication. Both Juniors and Seniors are eligible for mem- bership. Eight students are elected ac- cording to the number of column inches they had published; number of years on staff and positions held; and being in the upper third of their class for the current year. Those elected were: John N. Moore and Arlene Winter, both staff members at the beginning of their Junior year, and co-editors this year: Betty Lee Chessman, on the staff since her Sophomore year, and having the largest amount of column inches (five hundred); Lillian Niedner, on the staff since her Junior year and busi- ness manager; Mason Taylor, a reporter who received the biggest stories; Morris Schorow although only on the staff for four months, his work was so outstanding as to warrant his membership on the staff; Kathryn Reuber, who wrote poetry, and re- ceiving first prize her Sophomore year for her verse from the Chicago Press Guild, and winning first prize for one of her short stories in the Daily News Contest; and Elaine Capps, who wrote the Shopperâs column and was on the advertising staff. Forty-five The 1937 CAULDRON BAND Membership in the high school band this year numbers sixty-two. The outstanding achievement of the band this year was the purchase of new uniforms, which were made possible through the cooperation of the Board of Education, Parent Teachers Association, and the people of Downers Grove. The band plays for all home football and basketball games, school plays, occa- sional assembly programs, and several for- mal concerts during the year, as well as appearing at patriotic occasions and parades. The band won first division hon- ors at the district band contest and also in the State contest. Mr. Shoemaker directs all the band work.

Arthur Severus; secre- tary. Grace Brennan. Second year offi- cers are: President first semester, Elea- nor Hartzler; president second semes- ter, Lorraine Lower; secretary, Elaine Felton.

A. A. Advisors: Fluent. Brown. Under the more than enthusiastic and capable guidance of Miss Fluent the G. A. A. has, in the past six years, grown to be one of the outstanding girlsâ organizations of the High School. She not only is popular with the girls in the G. A. A., but with all of the girls in her classes because of her friendly and winning personality. Due to the rapid growth of the G. A. A. an assistant advisor was bad- ly needed. Miss Brown filled this capacity very capably. Her greatest task came at the end of the year at the time of the annual dance. She saw to it that each girl had a date and that she would have a good time. The G. A. A. appreciates this work as it helps make the dance the success it always is.

This year shuffle board and ping pong were started. The expense of these two additions is taken from the G. A. A. treasury, therefore being paid for by the girls themselves. G. A. A. AWARDS At the Annual G. A. A. Dance awards are given rang- ing from numerals to the Cup. Having joined the State League last year many of the girls had enough points to secure State Awards. The awards are, Numerals. Local D, State Iâs and Emblems. To secure these Awards one must have eight consecutive weeks work in one particular sport and a varied assortment. Points necessary range from 250 points to 2,000. D Cup VIRGINIA CORSON One of the highest honors a girl in High School can re- ceive. and certainly the high- est in the G. A. A. is the honor of getting the Cup. Not only is Virginia an out- standing member of the board, being president, and a very active athlete, but she excells in her other activi- ties, having made the Na- tional Honor Society, and Runner Up for the D. A. R. honors. All this has made Virginia the fully deserving possessor of the cup.
