19 3 8 CAULDRON The interest of the community in its schools, the forword-looking viewpoint of the Board of Education on matters of school administration, and an out- standing faculty have made possible in this community a school program that recog- nizes individual differences and provides an opportunity for individual growth. This program also fosters attitudes that make for an appreciation of the responsibility of each person to the group and of the group to each person in carrying on a way of life. The Cauldron is one example of the school's effort to develop individual expression. It also permits unified action on the part of the entire school. This book preserves for future generations a complete record of all the activities that enter into the life of the Downers Grove Community High School. We hope that the seniors who are responsible for this publication will in future years exercise the same personal interest in the progress and development of their school that they have manifested during their high school life.

ctsona i , ' s czr yealwicj When we inquired about the personality of Mr. DeWolf. we were told, needlessly perhaps, because we already knew it, that he was dignified. What we didn't know was that he is fond of ploying ping-pong and baseball. We've never seen him at these sports, so we naturally wondered how he played two such lively games and still maintained his well-known, dignified appear- ance. He has the ability to remember statistics, which must be of great assistance to him in American History, a subject of much interest to him. The Lions Club finds him an ardent member, and. with all his work, he still finds time to indulge his intense interest in high school sports. When watching a sporting event, he fre- quently remarks to those about him: Now don't mind the way I act or what I say—just blame it on the game.

He considers his work very interesting and very enjoyable. The planning and administration of the curriculum is the duty of Mr. Johnson, principal, but he also acts as counselor for the boys, helps to coordinate the unified studies program, and. with Mrs. Andersen, teaches the life problems classes. His job affords one an opportunity to be of service to others. As dean of girls, Mrs. Andersen acts as guidance counselor on personal as well as vocational matters, helps plan the curriculum, plans the general social program of the school, and supervises extra-curricular activities through the school council. Mrs. Andersen likes the personal touch of her position.
