ea in, (1 The people in the United States have worked together as one great unit, forming by their ef- forts the spirit of Americanism which now pre- vails. Throughout this great country, the Pur- poseful People everywhere have seen a need for just such a spirit and they shall see that it con- tinues to be the outstanding motive for all Amer- icans. In their Design for Education, they are building this spirit so that they may help others to see it. too. Through their Pursuit of Health, they are helping to create this impression upon people who otherwise might not pursue health. We. the Cauldron staff, feel the unusual respon- sibilities of a time when historical events of far- reaching consequence are of universal concern, and therefore we hove analyzed our school scene in the 1940 Cauldron of Americanism in an ef- fort to help Downers Grove students grasp, meas- ure, and use the history of their lifetime os they re-live the story of their school years. • PURPOSEFUL PEOPLE • DESIGN FOR EDUCATION • THE PURSUIT OF HEALTH Times Square University of Chicago Chapel Wackor Drive Estes Park

As this Senior Class of 1940 is graduated we wish to show our appreciation and gratitude to one who has helped us to see and analyze some of the prob- lems that we are about to face as we go out to meet the modern world. Miss Corinna Fronk has shown many of us in her history and civics classes our problems and has helped us to try to solve them. We aren't sure that we can. but we will try. If we are successful and can moke our Democracy a little better, it will be due in a large part to the influence that she has had on our lives. In an effort to show our gratitude, we dedicate to her this 1940 Cauldron of Americanism, and in offering this highest honor that we can give, though it is small, it carries with it endless appreciation and our most sincere gratitude.
