It seems that now, more than ever before, one realizes the numerous other V's that lead toward vic- tory. It was by this self nomination that the theme of the Cauldron was chosen. Taking into consideration a most famous V, we will start with Vim. Vim really is a strength or force. This has been brought out by sportsmanship, cooperation and excellent teamwork. This has been done to make us strong, and in turn make this nation one of strength and unity. Quoting the Great Emancipator, we see that, United We Stand, Divided We Fall . Vigor expresses activity and exertion. Numerous attempts have been made to express a true and authentic outline of the past year s activities. Exertion as well as perseverance was shown in the many athletic events of the year. There is a feeling that vigor is not only typical of our school, but of schools throughout the country as well. Vitality is the principal of life and the power of living and en- during High school days have furnished us with our principles of life At times we were faced with unagreeable tasks that called for vitality and endurance. Variety has allowed us to bring to you many different types cf school life which have been furnished to satisfy the many interests of students. The extent of the variety of subjects is to make the Cauldron one of the many spices of life Last but not least is V in velocity. In regard to this we express our wish for a quick victory and the preservation of democracy. DEDICATION We, the Class of; 1943, proudly dedicate this Cauldron to those former students now in the service of their country; at home or abroad. To those who have paid the supreme sacrifice, the Cauldron stands in everlasting tribute. ADMINISTRATION •jf PAGE 9 ★ ACTIVITIES PAGE 17 ★ STUDENTS PAGE 43 ATHLETICS PAGE 67 mmm, Kg ■ %!

DE WOLF, M.A. Superintendent CONTROL OF OPERATION Mr. DeWolf, our superintendent, has won the highest esteem of the students, and teachers, and also the parents in Downers Grove. Although his free time is limited, due to his pres- sing responsibilities as head of the schools of our community, he is always ready to give helpful advice to anyone desiring it. His deep interest in our scholastic, athletic, and extra curricular ac- tivities in high school is especially appreciated by the students. As the senior class graduates, it sincerely wishes many more successful years to Mr. DeWolf as superintendent of our schools. Members of the School Board, with Mr. DeWolf as executive officer, have the responsibility of promoting and upholding a high standard for the schools of Downers Grove. Through their understanding and apprecia- tion of the problems which arise, our high school has become an institu- tion spoken of with pride by all Downers Grove citizens. The School Board consists of five members. Two of them, Mr. L. L. Phelps and Mr. M. H. Specht, are new members on the board this year. Mr. T. O. Westhafer is President of the board, Mr. W. D. Herrick is Secretary,- Mrs. Edna Doster is the chairman of the personnel committee; Mr. M. H. Specht is the chairman of the finance committee,- and the buildings and grounds committee is headed by Mr. L. L. Phelps. With the control of school policy in the hands of these five capable persons, we may be assured that Downers Grove schools will be managed efficiently and constructively. CHIEFS OF STAFF Mr. Clarence W. Johnson serves our high school faithfully as both principal and dean of boys. Through his capable performance of these jobs he is in direct contact with the entire life of the school. The planning and supervision of the school curriculum, home room program, social program, athletic program, and assemblies are some of the major activities under his able direction. It is his aim to develop a program that meets the needs of all the students. In addition to the numerous responsibilities connected with his job, Mr. Johnson provides time for personal conferences with all students who desire them. Through his visits to industry each spring he secures first-hand knowledge on vocational problems which are studied each spring by all seniors in the life problems classes conducted by Mrs. Andersen and Mr. Johnson. His in- terest in youth both in and out of school is ap- preciated by students and parents. Mrs. Charlotte Andersen is our most under- standing dean and Junior-Senior girls coun- selor. Her efficient manner in handling the many details of her office enable her to thor- oughly care for many responsibilities. If help is needed by anyone in solving their problems, they can always go to Mrs. Andersen to receive spiritual, social, or educational advice. Seme of her major activities are home room advisor for the senior girls, advisor for school council, and co-planner of school academic and social programs. She also helps girls secure jobs after grad- uation, and helps guide them in the selection of jobs or in the ways of homemaking. Her office is always available for any extra shoes, clothing, or costumes that will not fit in the lockers. As we go on to college, to work, or into homemaking, we will remember Mrs. Andersen as a true friend in whom we could confide with the utmost confidence. CLARENCE W.

COUNCIL BAND PARENTS This year “Living Technique was the theme of P. T. A. The purpose of the association is to promote cooperation between the parents and teachers of the students, enabling the parents to better understand their children’s school life, while the teacher benefits from knowing students’ parents. The President is Mr. T. W. Wagenknecht; Vice- President, Miss Argent Marks; Second Vice- President, Mrs. G. W. McCollum,- Secretary, Mrs. C. J. Gleason, and Treasurer Mr. D. B. Ingles. Tne school and students have obtained many benefits from this organization. The Band Parents Association, composed of the parents of band members, lends financial and moral support to the various school bands. The success of the annual concerts is due largely to the efforts of this organization. Special costly instruments, and expenses that may be incurred on trips taken by the band, are paid for by the assoc- iation. The recording machine that was pur- chased last year was put to good use by the bands at the concerts this year. The organization meets three or four times a year to plan new projects for the bands.

The Bells of Capistrano was presented under the direction of Mr. Pohlmann and Miss Alver on Apr.I 1 and 2. Rancho Ortego is about to be lost because of the mortgage being held by Jake Kraft. There is an Indian curse on the ranch which Medicine Man Pose says will not be lifted until the Mission bells ring again. After hearing Jake Kraft coerce the Indians into accepting his plan to rustle the last herd and thus assure himself an opportunity to fore- close, Noneeta pursuades Lone Eagle, an Indian chief, to save the ranch by bringing back the stolen herd. She realized too late that by doing this Lone Eagle will be held a traitor to his tribe and sentenced to death. Believing Mr. Alden can repair the bells in time, Ncneeta plans to slip away and ring the bells herself, but the Indians, fearing Jake Kraft’s treachery, surround the Mission and refus j entrance to anyone.

The usual solo and ensemble contests, as well as the regular bend contest had to be discontinued for the duration because cf the lack of transportation facilities. However, fine solo and ensemble playing was done by various individuals at the annual band concerts held throughout the year. The band continued to play high standard compositions, even though there were no contests for it to attend. The band willingly plaved at all patriotic and civic affairs. Whenever the local selectees were called into service, various civic organizations have held a farewell gathering for them. These gatherings were held at 6:30 in the morning. At each cf these early morning parties a detachment of players from the high schcol band furnished the music. The entire band was given public recognition cf their services at a banquet held in their honor. This organization has added a great deal to school functions by their performances at athletic events, assemblies, and their own band concerts. Mr. Shoemaker 21 ORCHESTRA Back Row: V Lindsay, S.

STRINGS AND MUSIC The Orchestra, now seven years old, added still another member to its family this year. The director, Miss Adams, not only conducts a first and second orchestra, but also a beginner’s class which is known as Orchestra III. Instruc- tion is offered on any stringed instrument. The department has several instruments which are available to students desiring to use them. The orchestra now has some thirty active members. During the year the first orchestra furnished music at all of the school plays, the operetta, The Bells of Capistrano, participated in the Christmas Concert and provided a program for the Downers Grove Woman s Club. The Music Club, under the guidance of Miss Adams, was formed by students whose interest in music went beyond the regular class room period. After school meetings were held at which members entertained with instrumental selections, vocal solos, and played recordings. The members enjoyed several trips. Musical programs at WGN and WMAQ broadcasting studios and the Chicago Civic Opera Company performances proved both entertaining and ed- ucational. Through each of these activities the students formed profitable leisure time habits, acquired a willingness to cooperate and the ability to accept responsibility—all steps towards citizen- ship. 22 A N N U A L Patriotism was the theme of the annual carni- val held November 13-14. Streamers of red, white, and blue greeted fun seekers in the halls, while a huge figure of Uncle Sam holding a V and surrounded by the flags of the United Nations made an appropriate background for the stage show. After a few hushed whispers, the click of a tap shoe and the faint tinkle of a cow bell all was silence—then the curtains were drawn, and with the singing of Any Bonds Today the program started. The acts varied widely from music to dra- matic sketches, and all were greeted with loud applause. The aroma of steaming hot dogs F U N F E S T and hamburgers, enticed the merry makers to the G. R. canteen, while these preferring ice cream crowded the G.A.A. booth. Sharp- shooters tested their skill with B.B. quns—or by throwing darts. A lie detector offered an interesting diversion for those willing to trust their honesty. In the gym, dancing and a gymnastic exhibi- tion provided entertainment. As twelve o’clock rolled around the tired but happy crowd went home with the sound of music and laughter still ringing in their ears— the only remnants of the carnival being streamers of paper, empty booths and silent halls.

The performance was Penrod by Booth Tarkington. The play was directed by Miss Catherine Wood. Dolores Grieb was in charge of scenery and Lynne Wells was the prompter. Everyone was kept in a whirl by Penrod’s experiences with his friends Sam, Herman, and Verman as junior detectives shadowing Mr. Dade, with whom Penrod’s sister Margaret falls in love. Humor was added by the double talk of Herman and Verman. There was also the excited Irish maid, Della, and her slow moving friend and tall story-teller, Jarge. Although Penrod seemed to be a problem child in the eyes of his parents, and a perfect nuisance, it was later proved he was a typical boy and a hero. Through his amateur detec- tive work a curiousitv on the part of Mr. Jones was aroused and a record of Mr. Dade was looked up which revealed him as being dishonest. The play concluded with Penrod proud of his detective badge and falling in love with Marjorie Jones. . .

This years production was George Washington Slept Here by Moss Hart and George Kauf- man, co-authors of several successful plays. The play was under the direction of Miss Wood. The play centers around Newton and Anna- belle Fuller and their troubles in securing a heme of their own. Newton buys a rundown house in which George Washington is sup- posed to have slept. At great expense to themselves, the house is repaired and put in livable condition. After the house is put in shape the Fullers have four young guests of their daughter. They are also visited by their rich Uncle Stanley. Uncle Stanley is to leave them some money and consequently his every wish is their com- mand. Newton runs into debt and is going to lose , his house to Mr. Prescott, a crabby neighbor who has caused a lot of trouble over the use of his read and well by the Fullers. As a possible solution to the debt, the Fullers ask Uncle Stanley for the money. Uncle Stanley then reveals he is pennicles and has been pre- tending to be rich. All seems lost when Uncle Stanley saves the day by fooling Mr. Prescott into believing he is rich Mr. Prescott also lends the Fullers the money they need when he finds the road and well are on the Fuller’s property. The play ends with a terrific storm throwing everything into confusion. Throughout the play humor is brought in by the actions of Raymond, a brattish nephew and Mr. Kimber, the brainless caretaker.

At the first meeting Sue berry was elected President; Jean Myrer, Vice-President; and Edith Extrom, Secretary- Treasurer. Jean Vogele, Sue Berry, Edris Myers, Marj- orie Liska, Patsy Geissert and Agnes Johnson were some of the program chairmen who took a turn at planning a monthly program. Plays, readings, skits and pantcmines were given by different members cf the club. This experience helps promote poise and self-confidence which will help them in their later years of life. Some of the highlights cf the year were the plays, Betty Behave ”, directed by Patsy Geis- sert; Never Trust A Man ”, given at the December meeting, directed by Sue Berry,- and the Life of a Nurse written and produced by Marie Van Dcrpe, provided an interesting meeting for April. The successful year was ended with a party in May. Keeping in step with the times, the theme of the 1943 Trojan was a patriotic one, although many of the selections chosen were of a different nature in order to furnish variety. The Trojan is a literary magazine composed of short stories, poems, essays, jokes, anec- dotes and other literary material written by the entire student body through their English classes. The written work is then selected by the Trojan staff according to its merits and printed in booklet form. The staff consists of two business managers, a literary staff and typists with Miss Marguerite Poole and Miss Pearl Blackwell as advisors. As in the past, there was a contest held in which everyone was urged to use his origin- ality in making a cover design for Trojan. After much deliberation the art committee de- cided on the one thought best and the winner was awarded a prize. The Trojan offers every student the oppor- tunity to display his literary talent, and rewards these better writers by printing their selections. 26 DEBATE Resolved: That a Federal World Govern- ment Should be Adopted ’ was the timely question for debate teams all over the country this year. Under this topic post war problems of the world were studied. Downers Grove joined the Metropolitan Debate Union, which included schools from both Illinois and Indiana. Included were George Rogers Clark, Crown Point, Hammond and Whiting High schools from Indiana and Downers Grove, Lyons, S. Aurora, Riverside, New Trier, Maine, Morgan Park, Blue Island Military Academy, Thornton and Hinsdale High schools from Illinois. Altogether our teams had thirty debates in- cluding both affirmative and negative. Three schools met at a time in the Republic Building in Chicago. Downers Grove ranks fourth out of the 15 schools at the end of the debate season. Although it was their first year of varsity debate, Downers Grove debaters made a very good showing. Bill Daniels and Dolores Bucek were on the affirmative side with Francis Iverson and Bob Webb on the negative side. Zora Hartzler and Paul Rosen alternated both sides of the question, with Norma McLaughlin alternating on the negative side. The debate club had 40 members this year. The presiding officers were Joe Brettner, Pres- ident; John Racklander, Vice-President; Francis Iverson, Secretary,- Norma McLaughlin, Treas- urer. Twenty-two sophomores entered debate classes this year. Eight sophomore teams en- tered in the annual East Aurora Freshman- Sophomore tournament April 3. Bob Town- send was also selected to represent Downers Grove in extemporaneous speaking in the sectional contest. DEBATE Back row: D. Wolf, C. Nagel, D. Jenkins, R. Freitag, W. Parbs, C. Wurtz, N.

The compiling of the publication must run on a definite schedule in order to be completed by the end of the term. There are the artistic, literary, photographic, and business phases which must be planned and worked out by the editor, staff and advisor. Each of these divisions are the responsibility of a person or group of persons who give them the special attention necessary for publication. A yearbook s purpose is to portray student life and record the events of the entire school for a lifetime. It also gives the grad- uate a joyful memory of his years spent in high school. In the first complete-war-time school year of the Second World War, the Cauldron staff proudly present the 1943 Victory Cauldron to the student body for their enjoyment and criticism.

Since then it has developed into a highly rated newspaper, printed fortnightly. Since ads do not quite cover the expenses of High Life, the paper spon- sors a flower sale every spring and sells candy during the whole school year. The greatest contribution rrade by High Life is the training re- • ceived by the board and staff. The responsibilities and perseverance required aids in developing true standards of leadership and literary skill. Assignments are planned by the beard, given to individual staff members who find and write up the news, then the board copyreads, writes head- line, proofreads the material and decides upon the actual makeup of the paper. Miss Grace Hennis in the literary department and Mr. Fred Daigh in the financial, provide the consultation and advice necessary for the staff. They are the true backbone of the paper, always providing the support needed to make it successful.

To create, maintain and extend throughout the school and community high standards of Christian character’’—This is the official Hi-Y creed. Hi-Y is a boys’ organization whose primary and most important purpose is directed towards the maintenance of high standards of Christian char- acter and provides opportunities for leadership as well. The organiza- tion is divided into two groups, Freshman-Sophomore directed by Mr. Delmer Kimberling, and Junior-Senior under the supervision of Mr. Ralph Cressey and Mr. Wayne Guthrie. Any freshman desiring to become a member must file a certificate of application to Mr. Kimberling. Each member must attend a certain num- ber of meetings. The dues of $.50 a year apply only to the Junior-Senior group. The members of this branch are formally inducted into the National Hi-Y Fellowship in an impressive ceremony in the spring. The officers are elected in the Spring, and it has been customary for them to attend the annual State Hi-Y Training Camp for a period of one week, with their expenses partially paid In the past a representative has been elected to attend the National Hi-Y Congress every other year. An interesting and educational occasion of the year for Hi-Y is the Older Boys Conference, which deals largely with the many problems confronting the teen-aged boys. This year's conference has been of a special significance due to the present world wide catastrophe and other national problems of the present and the future. 30 Bock Row: R. Hawkins, C. Nagel, P.

R. to sponsor one of the favorite affairs of the year, the G.R. Hi-Y party. The theme of this year’s party was backwardness. Each person attend- ing the party wore his or her clothes backwards. The two organizations also combined their efforts to collect, repair and buy toys for dis- tribution to needy children at Christmas time. Both organizations also have a joint meeting at which boy cr girl relationships and social problems are discussed. The Hi-Y contribution to this year’s carnival was entitled London Underground, depicting the English city during the great bombings of 1940. Officers for the 1942-43 school year were John Bolton, who left school at the end of the first semester to go to college, and Fran Iverson for the second semester as President. The other officers, Joe Brettner, Vice-President; Ted Wagenknecht, Secretary; and Marc Ogden, Treasurer; remained unchanged. THESE GIRLS.. The Girl Reserve Club is affiliated with the Aurora branch of the Young Women’s Christian Association, and is one of the school’s largest and most active organizations. Group activities are planned by the Freshman- Sophomore and Junior-Senior cabinets, under the supervision of Miss Corina Fronk and Miss Mildred Bales. Clubs have been formed to meet the individual interests. These are Charm, Craft, Girl Reserve Chorus and Social Service. The chief purpose of the organization is to give and do the best. With that idea in mind the Social Service group organized many large and worthy projects. With the aid of student contributions, Thanksgiving baskets are made up and distributed. At Christmas the G. R. and Hi-Y Toy Project is undertaken, in which discarded toys are repaired and repainted, and then distributed to needy children in the community. The G. R. initiation is a formal candlelight service, with Mrs. Chailotte Andersen reading An If For Girls.” At the close of the year another formal meeting is the Mother-Daughter Tea, at which new officers are installed for the following year. In this ceremony six juniors and six seniors are awarded rings and spoons in recognition of their outstanding service to the club. Informal events of the club during the year are the G. R.

ART AND COMMERCIAL The Commercial Club is composed entirely of girls who intend to go into commercial work after graduation. Requirements for membership in the club are that one has to be either a junior or senior and have taken one year of a commercial subject. The club numbered nine- teen members this year. The purpose of the commercial club is to give its members additional information about the business world not given in class room work. They discussed different views of secretarial work and gained valuable advice on their future work Different speakers are brought to the club to give interesting talks on general office work Members learned about secre- tarial opportunities in the WAAC when Miss Etta Woodard spoke about the organization to them. Soon after, she became a WAAC herself. The officers of the club were: Margaret Loy, President; Dorothy Woodard, Vice-President, Alice Hibner, Secretary,- Lorraine Kubis, Treas- urer. The club was sponsored by Miss Nellie Ann Frush. This year the Art Club, under the direction of Miss Velma Dickson, met twice a month. These meetings were held after school in the art room. At Christmas time the main project of the club was to make gifts for their friends. Rings of various sizes, shapes and colors were made and in addition small painted boxes in num- erous colors and designs were also completed as presents. The members also worked on gay menu covers for the boys in hospitals and for the people confined in old age institutions. When the weather permits, outdoor sketch- ing is participated in by the members of the club. Club officers for the year were: Beverly Reynolds, President; Agnes Johnson, Vice- President, Violet Wissman, Secretary. BIOLOGY The chief object of the biology club is to create a deeper appreciation and a greater knowledge of the prodigious and seemingly boundless field of plant and animal life and the magical processes of all life. It is an organization especially interesting to these who find great joy in penetrating nature’s deepest secrets. Those who attend a reason- able number of meetings, indicating an inter- est, automatically become members of the Biology club. The value of the knowledge obtained is very useful for almost any vocational field the student may enter. And thus it has been that Mr Daigh, the advisor, has endeavored to en- courage and develop an interest in this vast unlimited field The number of active members is about 35. Officers for the year were Joe Brettner, President; Jean Hacklander, Vice-President, and Marjorie Baxter, Secretary-Treasurer Many interesting trips are taken during the course of the year to various biological collec- tions and the like. One of the first trips of the year was to the Chicago Zoological Gardens at Brookfield. Other interesting visits are made to the massed collections of the Field Museum, a tour of the excellent labora- tories at St. Procopius College in Lisle, and a few nature hikes pertaining to the study of local plant and animal life. The story of fish- ing and sealing is very colorfully and pictur- esquely conveyed to the club by Rev Albert J. Pitman, and Dr. Kirby most vividly and graph- ically tells the history and development of teeth in all types of animal life. The dog show sponsored by the club has become a traditional affair in our school cur- riculum. Members of the club and student body display their pets, which are awarded according to the best in their individual class. The most outstanding event and contribution of the Biology club to the student body is the annual Biology club picture. The picture pre- sented this year was The Law of the Wolf.

These clubs meet during class time and talk about matters pertinent to the Foreign language which they are taking. The Spanish club under the guidance of Miss Blanche Howland, has had movies, heard talks and held a successful yerba mate tea. They have studied not only the language but the life and customs of the Spanish and Mexicans. Miss Barry's Latin Clubs played games using Latin words and held discussions about the ancient Romans. The Latin Club’s officers are called consuls in the manner of ancient Romans. Both clubs collaborated to give the annual Language Club Dance which attracted a good turnout of language students and their guests. Music was furnished by Bill Broberg and his orchestra.

CULTURE Every second Wednesday of the month during the past year, the Book Club held its meetings at the homes of its members. A book review was given each month by a club member or by a guest reviewer. The presiding officers of the year were Mary Anne Lott, President; Dolores Grieb, Vice-President; June Mazurek, Secretary,- Mar- garet Loy, Treasurer; Germaine McKenzie, Re- freshment Chairman,- Marilyn Kinnu, Program Chairman,- and Miss Pearl Blackwell, faculty advisor. The Library club, sponsored by Miss Natzke, our librarian, is one of the few service clubs in our school. Election of officers took place soon after school started. Hazel Eastman was was chosen President; Vivian Dimmit, Vice- President and Mary Haumesser, Secretary. The club’s largest project of the year was the Book Week Open House sponsored for P. T. A. Posters were also put up in every room urging students to read more new books. 37 BOYS COOKING CLUB Front Row: D. Wolfe, R. Brown, D. Duncan, J. Cooper. Second Row: R. Fisher, R. Smith, E. Hooper, C.

Sauce pans — cover egg beaters—1 tbsp. cocoa—1C. sugar—double boilers—1 tsp. soda —tube pans—cream thoroughly—flour sifters— spatulas—pan coat—dish pans—baking pow- der— shouts and orders for this and that emanated from the cooking rooms as Downers boys delved into the mystic art of cookery. This organization is the result of a suggestion made by three boys, Bob Welch, Tom Dinges and Bill Wenzel, that some of our high school would enjoy a male cooking club. When they met at the first meeting, the boys elected officers. Dave Wolfe was elected President, Bill Clemens Vice-President, Bill Wenzel Secretary, and Bob Brown Treasurer. The boys met during the first and third weeks of ecch month, usually on Monday or Tuesday resDectively. They decided to have a luncheon at the end of the year, the meal to be cooked and served to their dates and themselves. After the luncheon the boys planned to give a dance. In the short time this club has been organized, the boys have learned how to make cocoa, pie, and coffee cake. The boys that cook furnish all their own sugar, the rest of the items are to be paid for by the dues collected at the end of the year. Most of the boys who are interested in cooking club will soon be in the Army where it is hoped they may find their knowledge useful. This club is not limited to cooking class mem- bers, but is open to all boys of our high school. Miss Marks, the advisor, hopes that more boys will join in order to make the club an even greater success next year. 3S ..THEY SPRING Since the outbreak of the War, newspapers, news reels, magazines and advertisements have been emphasizing physical fitness. A quick toughening period for all inductees was sorely needed The majority of the service camps adopted the obstacle courses as the best method for the results desired. These obstacle courses were nothing more than the age old gymnastics with the winning of the race’ as an added incentive. The Gymnastic club began using the Trampo- line for balance exercises eight months before Pearl Harbor. Probably the first Trampoline used in school physical education classes was a crude, har.d-rrcde apparatus built by Mr. Barkdoll and his gymnastic team at Ben Avon, Pennsylvania, in 1934. They were instructed by the administration to dismantle the thing because it was just a silly plaything.’ Freshmen who are interested in gymnastics should join the club their first year. Dal Camp- bell, the boy who has shown the greatest progress of any one in the history of the club, did not join until his senior year. Had he started as a freshman he would be ready for the best college gymnastic team in the nation. Many feats of skill are developed in gym- nastic club, including stilt walking, uni-cycle riding, balancing on a ball, flips on the flying rings, and springboard somersaults, ladder walk- ing, backward somersaults and various other stunts. Training given in gymnastic club is valuable in mcny respects. Poise and stability are added to a person’s movements. In emergencies the' ability to land uninjured and many other feats are a distinct asset possessed by the members of this club. 39 BUILDING TO SCALE.. The Math Club meets about every two weeks in the algebra and geometry classes. Repre- sentatives are elected in each rccm to plan and execute precrams to be carried cn in the classroom. The programs introduced in these classes are advised by Mr. Cressey and Mr. Paine The club concentrates on practical and interesting problems met in every day life. Magic and trick problems are also studied. The Math Club attempts to arouse interest in mathemetics among the student bedy. This year the Model Club has been trying to keep up with the National Defense pro- gram, which calls for the building of airplanes. Most of the work on these models is done individually. This year the model builders found it neces- sary to secure coupons for gas motors. They were also compelled to use white pine and base wood instead of balsa wood. The club had a membership of ten, and was under the supervision of Mr. Riddlesberger. Frank Pozdol was President and Robert Welch, Vice-President. MATH CLUB Front Row: E. Sipchenko, M. Moffett, M.

The purpose of the club is to stim- ulate an interest in amateur photography and also to teach the fundamentals of this scientific art. The club is jointly sponsored and advised by Mr. Cleveland and Mr. Holt. The officers of the club are as follows: Val Claus, Presi- dent; Conrad Wurtz, Vice-President; Don Schultz, Secretary-Treasurer The activities of the club include meetings where demonstrations of processing film, print- ing, and enlarging are given to the members. Contests are aTso sponsored to give the ama- teur a chance for open competition, resulting in helpful criticism. AND FLASH Under the direction of Mr. Delmer Kimber- ling, the Radio Club has had a very successful year. At the beginning of the year officers were elected and the club was reorganized with Wayne Larson President; Don Vorreyer, Vice- President; Zora Hartzler, Secretary - Treas- urer. Some very interesting and educational things have been studied and achieved by this or- ganization. They had excellent practice in taking apart and re-assembling radios. This gave them an opportunity to become acquainted with the various parts. They proved their ability by constructing a lie Detector” for use in the carnival THE YEAR IN REVIEW AUTUMN September 1 School begins 23 All-Faculty picnic 24 G.A.A.

Wmm x li i 8 wWm J. LYCN H. FRASER R. JONES IN MEMORIAM Words olone cannot convey one s thoughts and feelings regarding those who have lost their lives m the great conflict for freedom. Although these lads sleep in their final resting place, the ideals, the principles, and the spirit which they represent stir within our hearts the determination to fight on to victory so that their dying may not be in vain. As we pause in silent prayer for each of them, these thoughts live in our memory. BERNARD WEIER. His smile and cheerful hello”, pleasant outlook on life, and readiness to accept responsibilities were always evident in his relationships with others. HAROLD FRASER. His wholesome attitude toward life, his clear-cut vision of youth's responsi- bilities, and his altruistic motives permeated all of his actions. ARTHUR TOFT. He was a quiet, sincere lad who responded with eagerness and determina- tion to the call of his country. He met each new task with the same spirit. JACK LYON. His mature, common sense philosophy of life was appreciated by all. Each new day was a challenge to his love and enthusiasm for life. RICHARD MANSFIELD. His grin, cheerful attitude, and desire to experience all that life could offer were a challenge to others. No task was too great for him. ROBERT JONES. His alertness, wit, and ability to see beyond the present were driving forces in his many achievements in life. Issues great and small were a challenge to his keen mind. KENNETH PEARSON.

TOFT SENIOR DIRECTORS Stepping into an entirely new life, the Senior Class of 1943 is confronted with many prob- lems which other classes have not had to face. For the past four years they have been busy building up their characters, enlightening them- selves, and broadening their views. This group has well fulfilled the standards, regulations and traditions of the school, not only in athletics and extra- curricular activities, but also scholastically. As always, the Seniors elected their officers in the fall. The candidates are nominated by a committee and approved by a convention. This year the convention presented many ad- ditional names. The Civics classes conducted the election and every senior was entitled to vote. In this democratic way the following officers were chosen: Bob Bartlett, President; Paul Harges, Vice-President; Della Ridsdale, Secretary; Fran Iverson, Treasurer. These of- ficers represent practically all activities in the school The president is the chief giftatorian at Class night, and on Senior Recognition Day he pre- sents to the Junior class president the wooden spoon representing the traditions of the school. The «ecretary and treasurer’s main jobs are to take care of caps and gowns for the gradu- ation ceremonies. A number of serious minded students have left Downers Grove High School, one by one, to join the Army, Navy or Marines. Others have entered defense work of varying degrees while manv, remaining in school, have taken courses in First Aid, Home Nursing, and gym- nastic drilling. Thus have the Seniors of 1943 carried out their responsibilities in a business like, de- pendable fashion. Once more a group of Seniors confront the world, leaving another group of hopeful Juniors to carry on that tradition and good-will. SENIOR DIRECTORS Standing: D. Ridsdale, F. Iverson, P. Harges.

Also intent upon improv- ing their characters, they took personality tests to analyze and eliminate faults in their person- alities. The sophomore class was well represented in the musical organizations as many were in the band or orchestra, and a few even made the A Cappella. The boys participated so well in sports that eight became lettermen. The girls have par- alleled this by entering into girls sports and taking an active interest in the work of G.A.A. Two hundred eighty strong, the Sophomores became upperclassmen, taking with them an excellent record. Front Row: D. Clark, C. Baker, J. Bellows, M. Wies, B. Spalding, B. McCollum, M. Fister, 0.

Life Anew ball enthusiastically, seme becoming regular subs for the lightweights. The Freshman Girls’ Chorus created enjoyment for many by singing on several occasions. Persistent workers, they led the honor roll several times, always being near the top. This disposition toward study was further re- flected in the freshmen home rooms, where they elected officers to conduct discussions on ways to improve their manners and study habits. Thus they have successfully completed the difficult transition from grade to high school and through hard study, are preparing for the three years of high school citizenship that lie before them.

C I L Democracy has not perished from the face of the earth, and shall not at Downers Grove as long as the student council exists After the transition ceremony last year, the council took over the job of being the vehicle of student government and the central unifying body of all high school activity. The newly elected members looked forward to a busy year, and were not in the least disappointed. A brief review of some of the highlights of the year’s activities will give ample proof of that fact: the boosting of the sale of war stamps and bonds that enabled us to buy three Jeeps, penny milk, sponsoring the Freshman party, alumni dance, a war stamp dance, a dance with records furnishing the music, helping with the D club dance, supervision of the sole of Trojan heads and Trojan stickers, acting as fire marshals and air raid wardens, hosts and hostesses to open house and other occasions where visitors came: these all took thought, discussion, time and energy. Membership includes a President, who is Martha Miller, elected last spring,- Vice-Pres- ident, Ted Wagenknecht; Secretary of whom we had two, Agnes Johnson who served faithfully 1st semester and 2nd semester Jean- ette McCollum, who also did a fine job,- Treasurer, again we had two fine workers, Joe Brettner and John Hacklander. Also a boy or a girl representative from each Home Room. A number of delegates attended the District convention held at Morton High School Ncv. 21. At this meeting Ted Wagenknecht was elected president of the North-Eastern District of Illinois. This year's council has tried its best to act in the interest of the organizations which it represents, and to bring into being changes such as student opinion warrants; these are the functions of the student council. As this year's members close their period of service and turn the minutes over to a new council, they hope that the new members will be able to do even more for their high school. 64 NATIONAL HONOR SOCIETY Students are selected for The National Honor Society for their scholarship, service, character, and leadership. To be considered fcr selection a student must first be in the upper cne-lhird of his class. A list cf these students is sent to all members of the faculty, who check the names cf those whcm they judge are best qualified fcr mem- bership. A second list composed cf those who were voted fcr by at least four people is again submitted to the faculty and from this not more than 10% cf the seniors, and 5% of the juniors are selected. Good grades alone will not gain membership in this society. Participation in sports and extra- curricular activities play an important part in the selection of candidates. However, leader- ship, character, and service to the school are the foremost reauirements and are considered first for membership. The Golden Torch, an emblem of knowledge set on a background representing the activ- ities by which life is grounded out, was form- ally presented to members in a special as- sembly, April 30, attended by all students. From the beginning of their high school career, the National Honor Society is one of the goals which many students strive to reach. It brings honor to all who attain membership, and shows that they are preparing to serve their country well when they become Tomor- row’s citizens. The Downers Grove Chapter of the National Honor Society was started in 1930-31. Al- though at that time there were only fourteen charter members, it has been growing steadily until this year there are 49 members inDowners. Back row: G. O’Donnell, P. Harges, D. Lake, J.

RECOGNITION The Senior class, this year continued its annual tradition of voting for the Senior girls who are best qualified to receive the D.A.R. award. The voting was done in the English classes and each senior voted for three girls. Patriotism, dependability, leadership and serv- ice are the standards which the girls must represent to be considered for the honor Jean Colby, Della Ridsdale, and Shirley Dietmeier were chosen by the senior class as best fulfilling the qualifications. From these three girls, the faculty chose Jean Colby as the best qualified. The local chapter of the D.A.R. will enter her name along with those from other sections of the state, from which some lucky girls' name will be chosen at random. Due to the present War conditions in Wash- ington, D. C. the national convention is being held in Chicago for the duration, and Jean will represent this school. Congratulations, Jean for your fine achieve- ment from the students and faculty.

He also coached the heavyweight football team. His determination to win combined with his wit and humor kept the morale of the team up in their trying moments. Known as Coach by everyone is Harry Trygg, who lead the heavyweight basketball team successfully through its nineteen game season He also assisted in coaching light- weight football. Adding one more year to his fine coaching record Ralph Cressey devoted much of his time, as in the past, to the golf squad. Coach Donovan Ingles came through again with a fine Cross Country sauad. Devoting all his efforts to the boys he has produced con- sistently winning Cross Country teams. This year the team won second place in the con- ference meet. Herbert Adams serving his second season as coach at Downers won the friendship of all the boys that came in contact with him. He serves as assistant lightweight football, basketball and track coach. Serving his first year at Downers, Coach Julian Taylo did a swell job as assistant coach on the heavyweight football and basketball squads. His willingness to help and his en- couragement won the admiration of all the fellows. Replacinq Coach Halik this year as Physical Education Director is Orville Krughoff, who brought many new improvements to the classes. He served as lightweight football, basketball, and track coach His smile and friendly at- titude toward the student body has won him their loyalty. Frank Riddlesberger served as assistant coach in the heavyweight division. His Frosh-Soph squad proved to be tough opposition to all its opponents. Through his efforts the funda- mentals of the game are taught to the under classmen. The duties of coaching the tennis team have been ably taken over by Wayne Guthrie, and although handicapped because of poor courts, he has developed a tennis team of which the school may well be proud. 6$ G.

The schools cheerleaders, Joan Besser, Bar- bara Broberg, and Val Claus have devoted much time and effort in urging the teams on. All three will be back next year and will continue to give their best in giving the various teams moral support for victory. Varsity lettermen in football, basketball, track and cross country are automatically mem- bers of the D Club. Membership is also given to minor letter winners, cheerleaders, and managers. For the last two vears the Trojan Fathers have given a banquet to both the letter winners and the others who were out for sports. Of late the D” Club has been rather in- active but Coach Krughoff is endeavoring to increase the eminence of this club in school affairs and he looks to next year for more success. The D Club sponsored one of the outstanding dances of autumn, the Football Dance. Back row: A. Johnson, R. Bartlett, G. O'Donnell, D. Lake, R. Parbs, 5th row: L. Christy, L. Steinman, V. Claus, R.

However, the boys just didn't seem to get going this year and won only two games. The first game of the season was played against Dundee and they fought to a 6 to 6 tie. The following Saturday, Downers journeyed to Highland Park, and came back on the short end of an 18-0 score, defeated by one of the states best teams. The first conference game of the season opened against Hinsdale and the Red Devils kept the Old Oaken Bucket with a 12-0 count. This game was postponed because of bad weather and was played on a school day. Our Heavies went to Riverside the follow- ing Saturday but did not click against the stronger Riverside boys and came out on the wrong end of a 45-6 score, snowed under by a flurry cf passes. The beys finally got together and showed their stuff by beating York 19-6. The teams went into this game playing for the cellar position, as in the previous year. This was the third straight win for Downers from York. The following week the team was beaten by the future champions from LaGrange, 46-0. In the last game of the season Downers showed their real merit and beat Glenbard 7-0, when a touchdown was made in the last quarter after a rugged battle. At the end of the season the team elected Gerald O’Donnell and Ed Pietrowski as co- captains for the 1942 season. The boys also elected Ken Doty and John Prescott as captains for the 1943 season. Although the team onlv wen two games, a cod deal cf credit should be given to coaches arkdol and Taylo for their hard work. HEAVYWEIGHTS Top row: J. Siebert, L. Anderson, D. Kouri, B. Dietmeier, D.

They worked hard all year, but were able to attain only an average record. The first game of the season was against Dundee, and the boys turned on the power to win 13-0, Swartz and Kubis scoring. The following Saturday at Highland Park, the Lights were able to get but one touchdown, and the resulting score was a 6 to 6 tie on Haebich’s last minute toss to Spalding. The first conference game of the season, against Hinsdale, was a thriller.’’ Hinsdale scored early when they received two points on an automatic safety. Downers did not give up, however, and they made good on a trick play in the last minute of the game to win on Spalding's touchdown, 7-2. The following week at Riverside, the boys were unable to get started and lost by the score of 18-0, beating themselves with their mistakes. They could not hold back the strong York team, the following week, and lost 13 0 on two passes. At LaGrange, the Lights really proved their ability by pushing over two touchdowns and winning 13-0. Olson and Kubis scored. In the last home game, the boys lacked the power to do anything against the Maine Lights. They lost this game by the weak score of 6-0 when an intercepted pass turned the trick for Maine. In the last game of the season, the boys had very hard Tuck. Every play they tried was stopped and they tied a weak Glenbard team 0-0. The Lights elected two able seniors as their captains, Bob Spalding and Bill Swartz. Coach Krughoff, with the assistance of Coach Trygg, did a fine job with the Lights. He is a new member of the faculty, and with several lettermen returning should have a very suc- cessful season in his second year. LIGHTWEIGHTS Top row: I. Rice, T. Hifka, J. McLaughlin, R. Burek, J.

The team will be handicapped next year by the loss of six seniors, O’Donnell, Diener, Bartlett, Johnson, Lake, and Christy, although some very fine material will return next year. Bartlett, who was elected captain, was high scorer with 159, and Diener second with 125. The outstanding underclassmen prospects are Wadington, and Howie Doty. Although they ended up low in the stand- ing, the hcaxies were the highest scoring team in the conference with 649 to their op- ponent’s 637. HIGHLIGHTS After getting off to a slow start the light- weights put on the pressure, but were a little late and ended in fifth place in the conference. In all games played they won eleven and lost seven. Using Dave Haebich as the key man, Coach Krughoff formed a fast moving team. Haebich was the high scoring man for the season with 194 points. He, together with Leroy Steinman, second in scoring, is graduating this year, and will be missed greatly by next year’s team. The lights have some good material in Howie Steinman, Mochel, Laman, Kubis, Fariss, and Lynch. Haebich and Steinman were elected co-captains. The lights proved themselves to be a fine team by beating two outstanding teams, Glenbard and York. 74 19 4 2 BASKETBALL - 4 3 LIGHTS HEAVIES D.G. — Opp. D.G. — Opp 38 25 Wheaton 13 24 62 9 Lemont 59 26 66 13 Lemont 42 31 26 28 Maine 37 25 18 33 Hinsdale 42 45 33 18 LaGrange 41 21 18 17 Alumni 32 23 22 23 Riverside 40 26 37 38 York 34 38 23 20 Glenbard 37 49 22 26 Maine 42 33 14 18 Hinsdale 24 33 28 4 LaGrange 32 45 27 21 York 36 38 24 13 Riverside 35 40 24 19 Glenbard 33 43 66 31 Naperville 38 49 District Tourney (at York) Downers 32 v.s.

Instead of having the varsity and intramural squads, there were A and B squads. The A squad being the varsity, and the B” squad taking the place cf the intramural teams. If the men on the B squad showed promise, they were ad- vanced to the A squad for varsity competi- tion. This year Mr. Taylo and Mr. Adams had charge of the B «quads. These squads had games with other surrounding schools, and they showed up well. With this style of basket- ball, there should be some promising teams in the future. GREYBEARDS An added feature to the basketball season came in the form of the Greybeards , a team composed of eight high school teachers who defeated the younger generation of Downers Grove in seven of the games played. The teachers participating were: Herbert Adams, high scorer of the season, Orville Krughoff, second highest scorer, Clark Mahr, standout defense man who stopped everything that came near the basket, Julian Taylo, great- est number of fouls, Wayne Guthrie, Ivan Rehn, Frank Riddlesberger, and Ralph Cressey. 7 ACROSS THE FIELD AROUND THE TRACK CROSS COUNTRY Front row: G.

TRACK Usually the coming of spring brings the thought of love to most young men, but not so to 80 of our high school youths. They went out for track and worked industriously under the guid- ance of Coach Krughoff and his assistant Mr. Adams. In the class meet the seniors were soundly trounced by the juniors, as most of the first place winners were juniors. Best of the trackmen are: Wadington and Mizener in the 440, Howland and Littleford in the weights, Rouse, Wolff, Searles, and Wilson in the sprints, Bastin, Bretz, and Hewitt in the distances. Lake and Prescott in the hurdles, and Steinman in the pole vault and broad jump. CROSS COUNTRY Sixteen men turned out for Cross Country this season and they were coached by Mr. Ingles. Downers opened the season against Hins- dale and received a technical victory when only three men from Hinsdale appeared for the meet. Downers later beat York, and then repeated their winning wave by defeating Riverside. In a triangularmeet, Downers nosed out Hinsdaleand York, and later in another triangle meet with Riverside and LaGrange, Downers suffered its first loss by three points. The Cross Country squad’s greatest triumph of the year came when they took second place in the conference track meet being defeated only by Maine Bretz finished fifth in this meet in a field of 70. THE MINOR SPORTS GOLF TEAM The war has its place in almost everything these days, also in golf. Matches are being cur- tailed by gas rationing, and only those teams within a reasonable distance from Downers were played. The boys have an able coach in Mr. Cressey. He has had much experience in coaching, and is also an ardent player of the game. They have five returning lettermen—Howard Bourland, John Hlady, Walter Pepich, Floyd Mizener, and Doug Williamson. TENNIS Two dozen hardworking boys came out reg- ularly for tennis this year. A good majority of these were underclassmen, and under the able leadership of Mr. Wayne Guthrie, these boys should prove to be good players in future years. Six conference games were scheduled for the season, plus tne conference tournament, which was held at Hinsdale. This year for the first time a trophy was given for the games that were played before the conference tour- nament. GOLF TEAM Mr. Cressey, W. Pepich, H. Bourland, J. Hlady, J. Kelly, D. Williamson, L.

Miss Fluent The object of the Girl's Athletic Association is to stimulate interest in girls athletics and gymnastics, and to standardize and promote ideals of health and sportsmanship. The organization has a large membership, and any girl may join if she has obtained one hundred points in health and sports. A formal and informal initiation occur in November. A series of meetings, which are instrumental in bringing the girls closer together, are held throughout the year. Two outstanding social events on the club’s program are the Spring Dance and the All School Christmas Party. Girls who earn 600 points a year are given a numeral in their freshman year, a D” their sophomore year,- an I , the state award when a junior; and the state emblem their senior year. Miss Margaret Fluent is the faculty advisor, and the organization owes much of its success to her guidance. The G.A.A. Board directs and supervises all activities. This year there has been fine cooperation shown by the board, committees, and members. SO Front row: T. Carr, P. Pettee, J. Horn- berger, F. Mahr, B. Phelps, J. Nara- more, D. Hawk, M. Jones, J.

It has been estimated that by the end of 1943 6,000,000 women will be employed in war production, many of whom will be drawn from the group now in high school. Girls must be physically fit in order to render effective service. The girls sports activities are planned to meet the needs of today. Gymnastics and an intramural pro- gram, which includes tournaments in soccer, basketball, volleyball, baseball, badminton, and archery, are part of the year's program. Beginning and advanced First Aid classes are offered to junior and senior girls. The girls physical education activities prepare them to assume the responsibilities which the times place upon them, to stimulate school interest, and to create an appreciation cf out-door activity. G.A.A. CUP WINNER As a reward for her excellent work in G.A.A., the faculty has chosen Bee Ridsdale as most deserving of the G.A.A cup. Having been a member of the board for two years, she has shown interest in working for the welfare of the group. Bee has established a goed scholastic record as well as demonstrating qualities cf sports- manship, leadership, and dependability. Bee Ridsdale 83 GIRLS SPORTS Cupids Helpers. No holding. Tumbling.

STAGE CREW We have here a group of fine spirited youths, whose work is usually unrecognized by the student body, but nevertheless is indispensable. Their work consists of settina up scenery and all the work that is done on the various plays. They also regulate the lighting system, arrange the chairs on the stage, and help the janitors in various ways. The stage crew consists of Paul Petrie, Don Laue, George Zarn, Bob Laue, and Dick Grotefeld, manager. These boys expect no pay for their laboring, no awards given by the faculty or school, a Thank you’ or, you handled that job very well , is all they ever expect It is groups of boys like this who although they work hard never ask for acknowledgement or reward in their work, but are content to remain unrecog- nized, that display the true school spirit. 86 JANITORS At one time or other every student at our school has made the acquaintance of Mr. Irving Leverenz, popularly called Irv , and his staff of able assistants. These hard workers keep the school itself in smooth running order, attending to heat, light, and the work of careless students. We owe the beauty of our campus to the meticulous care given it by Mr. Charles Blumen- shine, who can be observed on any fair day busily employed with the grooming of shrubs and mowing of lawns. Our janitors smilingly answer and attend to the numerous complaints rendered by careless students.' Their task is year round. During the summer they are engaged in improving and repairing the school. Some of the tasks at which they labor during the year are: removing ink spots, setting up the seats for an assembly or basketball game, fixing the clocks, cleaning the halls and classrooms after school is out. CLINIC AND CAFETERIA CLINIC The Clinic is supervised by our new nurse, Miss Myrna Beck. She had made a lot of friends in Downers Grove because cf her friendly and pleasant manner. Miss Beck is a competent nurse who gets things done in a hurry and always has a humorous remark to cheer up patients. There are seven girls that work in the clinic, Dora Hancock, Shirley Peterson, Jackie Van- derKam, Dorothy Szemary, Mary Barr, Mane Crowder and Gerry Hoffman. They each work one hour a day taking care of any students that come in with headaches, stomachaches, cuts, burns, and various other minor complaints The girls receive valuable experience from this work. They learn to meet emergencies quickly and calmly. The clinic has three beds, which are filled practically all the time, and a very complete stock of first-aid equipment. CAFETERIA Several changes came about in the cafeteria this year. A new seating arrangement was made, every student being given an assigned chair thereby assuring everyone of having a place. Those students who bought their lunches were affected to a great extent by rationing Only one dessert was allowed to each person, and many of the dishes containing a large amount of meat were discontinued almost en- tirely. Art class contributed some attractive murals, depicting school life for the walls of the cafeteria. Credit is due to those forty students who worked in the cafeteria. They each received their I rches free for working one hour. On the kitchen staff were Mrs. Perkins, Mrs. Gcrdinier, Mrs. Ferguson, Mrs. Reeve, end Mrs. Brady. We owe much to them for all the excellent food they prepared during the year. CAFETERIA Mrs. Brady, Mrs. Reeve, Mrs. Gordinier, Mrs. Ferguson, Mrs. Perkin. CLINIC Back row: J. VanderKom, D.
