Main Office Downers Grove H.S. February 22, 1944 George E. DeWolf, M. A. Superintendent SdwoL... TO THE CAULDRON: It is indeed a pleasure to extend heartiest congratulations to the Cauldron on its twenty- fifth birthday. For a quarter of a century it has depicted in an interesting and accurate manner the life of Downers Grove Community High School. Alumni turn to the pages of the Cauldron to relive old friendships, delightful associations, enjoyable and inspiring classes, assemblies and activities. Plays, Athletic Contests, Operetta, Debate, Band, A Cappella, Orchestra, Carnival, Chorus, and High Life all pass in review. Pleasant memories of participa- tion in various school organizations bring bach renewed interest and loyalty. And the Auto- graphs—what fun to qet them and what a story they tell. But the Cauldron brings pleasure not only as a past record but also as an account of current happenings and events. It is dear to the hearts of Freshmen, Sophomores, Juniors, Seniors and Faculty. As each Cauldron Staff brings forth its contribution, the greater grows our pride in our School Annual, the more we appreciate and cherish it. Time Marches On and with it marches the Cauldron, playing an important part in the preservation of the ideals, traditions and life of D.G.H.S. BOARD OF EDUCATION Mi. M. H. Specht 10 Mr. W. D.

JhjL Js.(UYL Will he catch it? Tough luck! Come to papa! Got it! Ready for the catch DOWNERS GROVE 0 W. AURORA 21 The first setback of the year for the heavies was received at West Aurora. West High scored all of its 21 points in the first half. The first score came on a 97 yard pass interception. The heavies put on many drives that took them deep into West High territory only to lose the ball. DOWNERS GROVE 20 RIVERSIDE-BROOKFIELD 19 This game was one of the most exciting of the year. Downers drew first blood on a quarter- back sneak by Howie Doty in the second quarter. After R.B. had taken the lead, Prescott sprinted 90 yards on a punt return. Again in the fourth quarter the heavies scored on a pass from Safranski to Howland. Ken Doty kicked the two extra points that proved to be the winning factor. DOWNERS GROVE 6 YORK 6 With a strong wind and a Trojan off-day, the lowly York heavies managed to tie the Trojans. It looked bad as Trojan mistakes gave York a 6 point half-time lead. But the Trojans got the wind in the 3rd quarter and pushed to the one yard stripe, Boldebuck taking it over early in the fourth. Again the Trojans threatened, but the game ended before they scored. DOWNERS GROVE 6 LA GRANGE 34 Strong opposition was hardly the word for the La Grange team. They were superb. Coach Krughoff said they just made no mistakes. The heavyweights distinguished themselves by being the first team to score on the Lions in 10 league games. DOWNERS GROVE 13 MAINE 7 Showing much more spirit than in the La Grange game, the heavies routed Maine. The first score came on a pass from Doty to Howland. Maine tied the score late in the half. Howland scored on a pass from Safranski in the third quarter. DOWNERS GROVE 14 GLENBARD 7 The heavies continued their spirited play against the Bards. Doty passed to Howland in the second quarter for the heavies first score. FRONT ROW R. Howland, W. Littleford, K. Doty, W. Monfries, A Hodous, B. Kakuska, B. Holmes, J. Sutter, T. La Voie. D. Conrad.
