19 THE 19 4 0 CAULDRON OF AMERICANISM Typicol of Americo is the senior class. Only a few short years ago, they were dazed freshmen. They hove developed rapidly in high school and now are ready to go into the world or on to college. They have shown their democratic spirit in many ways. The election of their officers is a good example of this. The nominating committee was chosen directly by the seniors and was a truly representative group. It chose the candidates for merit rather than for popularity. The officers elected were truly representative and the only group that controlled their election was the entire senior class. SENIOR CLASS OFFICERS Kenneth Montgomery, Treasurer Muriel Friis, Secretory Tom Arndt, President Robert Ruff, Vice President

D. A. R. RECOGNITION JANE WIGHT FRANCES McCLEERY SHIRLEY FINGER Each year, according to the custom established by the D. A. R. five years ago, the senior English students vote for the girl who best exemplifies the ideal American girl. The three girls of 1940 excelling in the four qualities, dependability, leadership, pat- riotism. and service were Frances McCleery, Jane Wight, and Shirley Finger. Frances McCleery was chosen by the faculty os the one who best filled these qualifications. The Downers Grove Chapter of the Daughters of the American Revolution sent Frances' name to Springfield where it was placed with the names of the other girls chosen by schools throughout the state. From these names, three were drawn to deter- mine which of these girls should be given a trip to Washington. D. C. If the first person whose name is chosen cannot take advantage of this opportunity, the second, and then the third is delegated. Joan Savage, from Lincoln. Illinois, was the for- tunate girl from this state to win the trip. The girls, representatives from different states, were guests of the D. A. R.'s 49th Continental Congress held in Washington, D. C. in April. We congratulate Frances McCleery on the fine achievements she has made throughout her school activities. 18 O F THE 19 4 0 CAULDRON AMERICANISM
