The producing of a yearbook requires an entire year. 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.

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.

HIGH LIFE Ten years ago High Life published its first issue as an independent news- paper. 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. Sitting: Miss Hennis, Leonard Rhoden, Lynne Wells, Lydia Ade, Marilyn Osborne, Dorothy Dungan, Marilyn Haebich. Standing: Mr. Daigh, Jane Bateman, Charlaine Cook, Shirley Dietmeier. Back row: J. Ryden, C. Wurtz, P. Rosen, J. Prescott, R. Spalding, M. Ogden, H. McMahan, R. Gawriluk, R. Hacker, P. Johnson. Second row: H. Martin, J. Garner I. Zebraski, F. Perry, M. Crowder, W. Daniels, J.
