19 3 8 CAULDRON ADMINISTRATION Mr. DeWolf, os superintendent of public schools, handles the financial records of the school district, and his oim is to make the school more efficient. 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.

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.

BOARD OF EDUCATION The meaning of the word public in public schools implies the necos- sary cooperation between the citizens of the community and the school itself. This cooperation is vested in the Board of Education, whose members form school govern- ment. since their approval is necessary in the school's curricular activities, and the financial matters pass through their hands. The members of the Board are elected by the community itself for a term of three years. Members of the Board of Education are not paid a salary. They give freely of their time and efforts for the benefit and improvements of Education in Downers Grove. BAND PARENTS ASSOCIATION Each parent having a boy or girl in the high school band is auto- matically a member of the Band Parents Association. It is due. in great part, to the work of the association that we have a band of which we may well be proud. Through their efforts, enough money is raised to finance the various contests entered by the band and also enough money to purchase new instruments, no easy task considering the many recent additions to the bond. No little part of their work is directed toward interesting the students in joining the band's organization.
