I ✓ r like electricity, rs transmitted hrough conductors. now tfsSwilh Vc'i We wish to express our heartfelt gratitude by dedi- cating this, the 1946 Cauldron, to Peace through Power. As the light of the school year dims, our hearts are happy for many reasons, and the 1946 Cauldron re- flects this feeling. This is the first Senior Class in five years to enjoy the fruits of peace. The long and bitter war has ended. A long awaited peace has returned at last. We hope that our high school has provided the nec- essary voltage to send us into the world with a sound background of learning, not only in school curricula, but in sportsmanship, fair play and decency. A gracious campus scene looking south. The friendly portals. O R E W O R D Downers Grove High School has been lighting the path- way of life for the seniors these past four years, but now the time has come to turn off the switch.” Our future source of energy to push ahead must now come from within. The temporary current of school life has infused the power within us long enough so that we are capable of going out under our own power. Here in school we have been in a group: worked as a group, thought as a group, and played as a group. The lamp of education has illuminated our minds, helping to make us good citizens, better able to recognize the privileges and responsibilities life has to offer. This 1946 Cauldron, with its theme of electricity, is the meter which portrays the current of school life. If a shadow passes over you for a time, let this Cauldron serve as a beacon, one that brings back waves of happy memories of a year at D. G. H. S. y faculty anc ISt udents ministration • • BOARD OF EDUCATION Mr. Herrick, Mr. Lewis, Mr. Phelps, Mrs. Doster, Mr. Erffmeyer, Standing, Mr. De Wolf. On the Board of Education this year, Mr. L. L. Phelps served as President; Mr. W. D. Herrick Secretary; Mrs. Bruce Doster, Mr. H. A. Erff- meyer and Mr. J. M. Lewis, Board members. The administration of the financial affairs of Downers Grove High School, seeing that the grounds are properly maintained, and the em- ployment of teachers are a few of the many responsibilities of the Board. Board members are unsalaried and willingly contribute their time and efforts to the fulfill- ment of this important civic duty. Mr. W. D. Herrick has been Secretary of the Board ever since it was organized in 1923 and completes this year his twenty-fifth year as a member of the grade school board. It is unusual for any man to take such a wide interest in civic affairs as Mr. Herrick has exhibited this past quarter century. His outstanding record of pub- lic service merits the recognition of all. Our high school principal, Mr. Clarence W. Johnson, works faithfully toward a program that considers the needs of all students. His careful planning, foresight, and guidance are evident in all phases of the school pro- gram. He is always ready to give quick and courteous counsel to all students. Mr. Johnson feels it is a great challenge and privilege to serve youth. The welfare and progress of every girl in Downers Grove High School are always of uppermost concern to Mrs. Charlotte D. Ander- sen. Her helpful advice and kind understanding penetrate into all phases of school life. Her sincerity and understanding of the prob- lems of youth have won her the confidence and respect of all the students. The entire life of the school is influenced by her wise counsel. 10 Mr. George E. DeWolf, Superintendent of Schools, and the Board of Education determine the policies that govern all phases of the school program. Under his leadership our schools have developed an educational program that is progressive and efficient. His helpful advice on school matters and in- tense interest in the problems of youth are ap- preciated by all students at Downers Grove High School. GEORGE E. DeWOLF, M.A. CLARENCE W.

CLINIC In our clinic, students, much like batteries, are recharged so that they may continue their work Miss Myna Beck, our school nurse, again super- vised the clinic with her competent staff of student aides. CAFETERIA Where oh where is the end of this line? is the tune most D. G. H. S. students hum at noon. It seems as though the whole school is on hand to buy their lunches. Who wants to miss those luscious' meals prepared by such skilled hands? 16 As usual, the school year commenced with the chattering of some 280 light-hearted Fresh- men. Their dim outlook was brightened by the friendliness and cooperation of their teachers and the upperclassmen. The Big Little Sister, G.A.A., athletic activ- ities, and Hi-Y, drew them into the current of school life, such as: joining clubs, going to parties, participating in the All School Play and the Carnival, the Operetta, and trying for the honor roll. The Freshman Party was, of course, the favorite. Everyone became ac- quainted and had a hilarious time. Many new things are learned by the Fresh- men all through their high school careers. Not only facts relating to knowledge, but also in social etiquette. In home rooms, teachers guided them along the right paths, while officers were elected to conduct discussions on ways to improve their manners and study habits. Though they were the subject for the famous freshmen jibes, the lowly green things took everything in their stride and some made the honor roll. These students who were, but a short time ago nothing but sputtering sparks are by now dynamic thunderbolts. The first and hardest year of school life is over, and they have three glorious years ahead of them. 17 First Row: B. Dewey, C. Bunnell, D. Woodal, B. Wendt, G. Woodard, J. Rhea, M. Konoff, P.

Open house started the cam- paign organized by Mrs. Absher, 2nd Vice- President, in charge of membership. Miss Esther Nelson, 1st Vice-President and Pub- licity Chairman, saw that all of the excellent pro- grams stressing Security for Youth presented by Mrs. E. E. Bristow, Program Chairman, were very well advertised. Mr. R. C. Redd, Secretary, and Mr. A. J. Godshalk, Treasurer, kept fine records of the P-T. A. year. Each class was ably represented by their class representatives,- Mrs. Clarence C. Taylor, Fresh- man representative; Mrs. G. C. Barnhart, Sopho- more representative; Mrs. Burl D. Barney, Junior representative,- Mrs. C. W. Johnson, Senior rep- resentative. The Band has its own special powerhouse com- posed of the parents of band members. These parents see to the welfare of the Band in many ways: seeing to it that the Band has instruments, plenty of music, spick and span uniforms, and the never ending transportation which not only in- cludes the Band members themselves, but also lengthy xylophones and huge bass horns.

We foretell a bright future for them Academically, their honor roll percentage is high. Socially, their participation in extra curric- ular activities renders them an indispensable asset to the organizations. Musically, their group pro- duced results far above average in the band, orchestra, and the various choruses. Dramatically, this class was represented in the All School play, the Carnival, and the operetta. The sophomore party, with its careful planning and distinctive decorations, was a highlight of the year. The students planned and decorated the party by themselves. Those who did not have a good time did not attend. The home rooms have been active and well organized. The students have planned parties and programs. They have had personality tests, in which they were taught to recognize and sub- due their weak points, and to develop and bring the good points into the limelight. This year, the sophomores are powerful in ath- letics. The boys and girls have both earned awards for their high voltage performances in sports All in all, this class merits respect for its general All American attitude and its enviable reputation. 2!

(Electrical ngineers The movie crew, as they are called, must know how to operate the machines correctly and effi- ciently, since instructive films are necessary in practically every class from American History to Shop. The crew’s importance cannot be overesti- mated. Ken Jacobs, Wendell Frolich, Ed Oshinski, Russell Van Ossenbruggen, Alvin Fister, Leonard Bateman, Joel Nelson, under the sponsorship of Mr. William Cleveland are responsible for show- ing movies in school, transporting the equipment from the first floor to wherever it is needed. They are also responsible for rewinding the film and returning it. The stage crew is in charge of scenery and props for the various school activities such as plays, the operetta, carnival, etc. They also take charge of changing the scenery between acts, and when it is necessary, do construction work. Charles Hedges, Pete Burns, Leonard Mochel, Leonard Bateman, Roger Brown, Fred Buschman, Chuck Pearson, Bob Baughman, Bill Baittie, Larry Turk, Ernie Lowden, Roger Palmer, and Rudy Wetzl are the boys who donate their time to this service. Mr. Kenneth Lage, supervisor of this group, states the following about the stage crew: This crew spends many hours in hard work, but are re- paid by the fine feeling of the students. 24 ...3k ru the oh ransrormer The Juniors hove passed through the transformer and are reaching the peak of their high school career becoming seniors. They will now be charged with the leadership of the school. They participated in making the honor rolls, in athletics, and in extra curricular activities. They made a good showing on the stage, backstage and in the Carnival. Vocational interest tests were given in junior home rooms to start them on the right road to suc- cess. The tests helped them to find where their interests lay, and to which jobs they are best suited. Three years of learning in D. G. H. S. has de- veloped the juniors into high potential citizens of the future. JUNIOR CLASS OFFICERS L. Mizener, Trees., K. Ruthhardt, Pres.; S. McLees, V. Pres.,- L. Larson, Sec. working7 see.

Mix with three rather be- wildered associates. Beat in 14 other staff mem- bers and one advisor, who should have known better, and what do you get? (This problem has been faced by the staff all year.) Even before school was out last May, the theme of this book was devised and the general plan laid out. Conferences were then held with the engraver and other conferable people, so that by September the groundwork of the whole book was laid ouc. The staff labored steadily to bring out the fin- ished copy you see before you. Pat Johnson, Pat Peterman, Virginette Szulczewski and Frances Andrews handled the writeups efficiently while Rica Tubbs and Dolores Zack labored many hours over illegible copy amidst reams of paper. John McLaughlin, Joe Schumacher, and Lee Sargent handled the complex activities department. Deana Dicke and Fred Kraft busily snapped the candid shots, while Byron White and Rick Hummer turned out the marvelous art work seen throughout the book. Harry Nichols and Carol Howland rolled up a colossal total of 925 subscriptions and Dick Larsen and Ellie Conrad managed the sports de- partment. Editor Alex Galbraith and Advisor Mr. E. L. Paine worked from dawn to dusk and did their best to coordinate this volume into the best Caul- dron ever produced in Downers Grove High. The Cauldron wishes to thank the Root Studio, Pontiac Engraving Company, Rogers Printing Com- pany, and the Craftco Cover Company for their helpful assistance. Without their help, this book could never have been produced. 0 ea clIme HIGH LIFE BOARD Sitting: A. Hasselbacher, J. Erskine, J. Bassemer, Miss Hennis, Miss Chessman. Standing: N. Bunnell, E.

An unlucky number, but the staff has done well with the newspaper for the school year 1945-1946. Among the special features of High Life are: the Calendar of Special Events, Bits o News, Happy Birthday column, and comprehensive sports page. One cannot forget the column all students turn to at once: The Line. Preparation for the next High Life starts on the day the last one is issued. Reporters get their assignments and the people on the ad staff start soliciting ads. These assignments and ads are due on the following Tuesday or Wednesday. Later in the week copy comes back and is proof read. The following Thursday the paper is made up. Friday morning it is printed, and Friday afternoon it is distributed by the business staff. Several pot-luck suppers are held during the year, to enable the staff to get together socially and not to work. The staff is composed of seasoned journalists, editors and reporters and non-seasoned journalists, those courageous souls who, along with the reg- ular staff, sell candy, gather news, solicit ads, sell flowers in spring, and do all the various things that occur during the year. The staff is selected from the Junior Journalism class and others who have tried out and have qualified. Miss Grace Hennis ably advises the journalistic angle while Miss Bette Chessman assists in the business management of the paper. The editorial board consists of Joyce Bassemer, Editor-in-chief, Audrey Hasselbacher, Nancy Bun- nell and Jean Vogele Assistant Editors,- Joan Erskine, Feature Editor; Louis Huszar, Sports Editor; Elaine Berg, Business Manager; Carolyn Mar- shall, Marianne Wurtz, Advertising Managers.

Although it is one of the smallest clubs in school, its members do a great deal of work. Under the capable guidance of Miss Natzke and Mrs. Bohrnstedt, the fifteen members’ duties are divided up as follows: six at the loan desk, one checks mail, one reads magazine reviews, one orders pamphlets, one clips and mounts clippings, four keep the shelves in order, and one takes care of decorating the library such as: taking care of bulletin boards, and other necessary duties. 34 As in spring, when the forces of nature revive our dormant spirits, so the literary magnetism of the Irojan stimulates the literary minded students. It is assumed that the students spend many sleep- less nights burning the midnight oil in thinking up original ideas in the form of poems, blank verse, Stories and fill-ins. A prize winning contest for students with art ability is conducted for the pur- pose of having an original cover design each year. Under the able supervision of Miss Blackwell, Miss Saunders, Miss Zolper, and Miss Dickson, their labors result in an excellent collection of literary work. « STUDENT COUNCIL First Row: M.

With the improvement of school in mind, the delegates discussed such topics as possible post-war projects, social problems, and all the important matters of finance. The con- clusions reached on each topic were brought back and introduced to the rest of the representatives, and where the discussion was favorable, the meas- ure was adopted. The officers elected for the year were: Bill Berry, President; Tony Cavalli, Vice-President; Ken Ruthardt, Secretary,- Wilma Jean Barnhart, Treas- urer. The new Youth Center Committee has taken definite steps in promoting the long-planned center for Downers Grove. During the second semester, the Council began to start its program to aid in raising the $250,000 needed for this project. Every student in Downers Grove High School is represented in Student Council by his elected representative from home room. This is why the name, the sounding board of student opinion’’ can be given to this democratic body. Advised by Mrs. Charlotte Andersen and Mr. Ivan Rehn, the thirty-five members of the Council continually strive toward bettering our school. Meeting every Wednesday during fourth period, the representatives engage in many and varied activities. The Red White and Blue Booth, the sale of Trojan pins, stickers, and banners, several of the year’s activities and assemblies, and the freshman party are all sponsored and directed by the Council. Its members serve as ushers at P.T.A. Open House, and College Night, assist at fire drills and guide the cafeteria program. 35 Scientists With many a clicking shutter and Rash of camera bulbs, the Camera Club again had a record year. The purpose of the Camera Club is to create a beneficial interest for students in photography. Throughout the year many interesting programs have been presented. During one meeting, a roll of film was developed and at another, a movie, Howto Take Pictures” was shown. Towards the end of the year, a very successful photo contest was held in which students were invited to sub- mit prints. Sponsored jointly by Mr. Everett E. Holt and Mr. W. C. Cleveland, the club officers were: Joe Gorecki, President,- Bob Vinsec, Vice-President; Dorothy Bourke, Secretary and Treasurer. The Math Club represents a group of students enjoying the formula, the equation, and the un- known quantity. They show that mathematics is an integral part of the modern world and that it can be fun. Sponsored by Miss Mildred Clark, the organi- zation has widened its activities. Besides the reg- ular programs of slide rule techniques, soap bubble solids, mathematical recreations, and mental free for alls, the club journeyed to the Northwestern Technological Institute on February 2. President Kenton Stephens presided at the meet- ings planned by Vice-President Robert Aschbren- ner while Secretary-Treasurer Dorothy Bourke handled the business. CAMERA CLUB First Row: T.

Soon members of this select group, the Biology Club, come pouring out of Room 303, chasing a poor and pathetic white mouse. However, do not let it dismay you, for these students are really further- ing their education in the field of science. When in session, the club is presided over by Joyce Neidner, President; Mary MacDonald, Vice- President; and Everett Clark, Secretary. Since biology is an important factor in every- day life, Mr. Fred Daigh, the faculty sponsor, has strived to acquaint the Biology Club with the var- ious aspects of this fascinating science. A visit to the Biological Laboratories of St Procopius College, where the students made friends with the live alligator and the pet snake, introduced the club members to many new and strange var- ieties of plant and animal life past and present. Later in the fall, a trip to the Chrysanthemum Show at Garfield Park Conservatory was enjoyed by all. Many future flower growers were no doubt inspired by the many prize flowers seen at the show. In the spring, a pet show was planned This gave the students a splendid chance to display the talent and beauty of their prize pets. Also in the spring, the annual Biology Club movie was presented to raise money for club activities and equipment. The movie was the exciting picture The Last of the Mohicans ”, which drew a large crowd of students. The season ended with a feel- ing of having had an eventful year, enjoyed by all Biology Club members. BIOLOGY CLUB First Row: P. Hosick, J. Schless, J Brignoll, M. McMullen, D Bourke, Mr. Daigh, P-.

The presiding officers, who were called consuls in Roman times, were: Virginia Martin, Frank Nuccio, Lois Bevers, Harry Sutter, Carol Heilman, Bill Stimart, Vivian Gorski, and Tony Cavalli. Latin spelldowns, teasing events, skits, and re- ports on Roman Life were enjoyed by the Latin Club this year. Both the Latin and Spanish Clubs showed their knowledge of foreign customs with the giving of the International Language Club Dance in Feb- ruary. Latin Christmas carols were sung and games were played during the holiday season. Following their text studies of Spanish speaking j countries, the Spanish Clubs, meeting during class periods, have seen many colorful movies. Inter- esting magazine articles and stories are read. Games are played at the club meetings, such as guessing contests and speed races. The Spanish and Latin Clubs combined to stage a very successful International Language Dance : on February sixteenth. During the Christmas season, carols were sung | in Spanish and games and stunts gave added en- joyment to the holiday season. Meetings are held each month during the school year and supervised by Miss R. Blanche Howland. 38 DEBATE CLUB First Row.- R. Erickson, Larson, Scott, Pettigrew, Mr. Rehn, Peter- man, Vogele, H.

Erickson 1 st Neg., K. Stephens 2nd Neg. GTorensic Debate in Downers Grove High School has really erased the blemish from its name and put itself out in front this year. It is composed of not just a bunch of intellectuals with high I. Q.’s but is a challenge to all good students. The Debate Club is composed of students inter- ested in debating, and sponsored by Mr. Ivan L. Rehn. Some of the members take Debate when it is offered the first semester as a half credit in English. The Varsity Team is fortunate in that it is com- posed of the same four people as it was last year, since none of them graduated. The four people: Jean Vogele, Pat Peterman, cfiends Henry Erickson, and Kenton Stephens were chosen out of numerous candidates last year by Miss Nowlin, Mr. Swanson and Mr Rehn. This year the team, much to Mr. Rehn’s delight, turned out to be the winning combination. When football and basketball had failed, the Debate Team came through with Downers’ first trophy of the year, when they won the Augustana Invita- tional Tournament, February 8 and 9 competing with 25 schools from Iowa, Illinois and Indiana. In our league, the Metropolitan Debate Union, Downers Grove stands first. The team tied for first place in the Illinois State tournament but lost to New Trier in the final debate. y i (Speedy anc The members of the Commercial Club elected Mary Ann Larson as President, Joyce Kraus as Vice-President, and Marion Wendorf as their Sec- retary-Treasurer. Miss Nellie Ann Frush is the fuse that keeps the current of interest operating between the members and the many phases of business life. A sparkling array of programs are planned each month by the various committees. Sometimes out- side speakers are invited to jolt the members into thinking about future business careers. Ample op- portunity is given for discussion of all the tactics of the business world. Of course, the social angle is not neglected, for it is the aim of the club to include many afternoons of fun for all the members. This ambitious group of young artists has done its bit to contribute a little culture to old D. G. H. S. At their meetings the members try to learn some of the various aspects of art. During the course of the year, the club made several sketching trips into the surrounding area. One project was that of making menu covers and Christmas tree decora- tions for the U. S. O. At one meeting, Mr. Grumieaux and Mr. New- berry, local artists, told the club about the life of professional artists. Herb Nadelhoffer pre- sided as President, Jim Godshalk, Vice-President, Anne Grumieaux, Secretary-Treasurer, and Miss Dickson, faculty advisor. COMMERCIAL CLUB First Row: E. White, L. Griggs, M.

Our janitorial staff, headed by Mr. Irving Lever- enz, not only does straight janitorial work, but also plumbing, carpentry, and heating jobs which are vital to the efficient upkeep of our school throughout the year. The problems of lighting, heating, and ventilation greatly vex our competent staff which does not get enough credit from the students at D. G. H. S. In summer, the beautiful campus must be kept in excellent condition, requiring many hours of digging in flower beds, mowing lawns, and prun- ing trees. In the fall, leaves must be raked and in winter, snow must be kept off the sidewalks. Removing ink spots, setting up seats for assemblies and basketball games, plus the inevitable sweep- ing all are tasks, unpleasant but necessary, which the janitorial staff perform well. Mr. Irving Leverenz, with an undermanned staff, has had to work harder and longer to make Downers Grove High School a well kept school. No less important workers are the janitors as- sistants boys who devote part of their after school time to help around school. They dust off black- boards, sweep the rooms, empty trash and do various other helpful jobs. Bob Pullen and Bob Bauer served regularly as assistants this year. 41 Th? T'umpetee'S Three Sisters The 49'ers Eddie's plcyers The old dance routine The Old Quartet The Senior boys having fun Carnival Princess Carnival Amid the usual hubbub caused by a very noisy combination of yelling page boys, and hot dog venders, the 1945 Carnival got under way with a bang. The Vaudeville Show and dancing all helped to make a very enjoyable evening. Climax of the prom CPr, oni With the old Southern Plantation as the theme, the 1945 Prom, sponsored by the juniors and seniors, got under way on the evening of May 6. Confident seniors and eager young juniors danced dreamily to the music of Hal McEuen’s Melodiers. After a very enjoyable evening, climaxed by an impressive grand march, delicious refreshments were served in the gaily decorated cafeteria. Having fun? What's the joke? The prom blues. Everybody has fun. Refreshments for all LAB ASSISTANTS First Row: B. Starr, M. Bolton. P. Willey Second Row: A. Courchene, W. Vorreyer, J. Newberry, T. Dixon, T. Hogan. Xal £al oarers The Lab Assistants Club, under the supervision of Mr. W. T. Gurhrie, was organized for the first time this year in collaboration with the science department. It is made up of students from biology, physics and chemistry classes with the purpose of aiding the teachers and furthering their own knowledge in the intricacies of science. Among their duties, they must mix the various solutions needed by the classes and extra curric- ular science activities, check equipment in and out of the laboratory, aid the teachers, take inventory in the lab, and in general keep the lab in order. This type of work is not only a boon to the in- structors, but improves and broadens the students’ view of science through practical experience. Assistants for the biology classes are: Warren Vorreyer and Alan Courchene,- for physics classes: Margie Bolton, Jim Newberry and Betty Starr; for chemistry classes: Tom Dixon, Pat Willey and Tom Hogan. Officers elected for the year included: Tom Dixon, President, Tom Hogan, Vice-President; and Pat Willey, Secretary-Treasurer. Informal meetings, held every two weeks, have provided the members with an opportunity to ac- quaint themselves with the correct uses of ad- vanced scientific apparatus. Gatherings usually consisted of free discussions about anything scien- tific. One of the main projects of the year was the training of future lab assistants by the club. Some of the most difficult times in the life of a lab assistant , Tom Dixon states, come in the fall when he is not familiar with the laboratory procedure.” Membership in this organization was limited this year to the eight regular lab assistants. 44 ORCHESTRA First Row: J.

This year the orchestra, again under the direc- tion of Miss Margaret Porter, tried something new On February 10, they gave a combined concert with the grade school orchestra. They played a great variety of music ranging from marches and overtures to suites. The concert was a grand suc- cess and it probably will become as much of a tradition as the annual band concerts The orchestra participates in the annual Christ- mas Concert along with the rest of the music de- partment and accompanies the operetta every year. Miss Porter feels that the orchestra is definitely coming up in the eyes of the student body and that many more children in grade school are enter- ing orchestra activities. Consequently she feels that the orchestra will continue growing in size and in technique and that within a few years it will become an excellent musical organization. At the present time the orchestra consists of the following fourteen members.

The band furnishes music for our live wires at all the football games and then again at the basketball games throughout the winter. The boys on the team and the coaches have often said how much this lends to the good feeling at all of our athletic games. This year the band elected officers as follows: Jack Morris, President who takes over when there is any business to be done in the band,- Betty Artus, Secretary-Treasurer who takes care of collections and also helps with any mail the band may have, and Marcia McMullen, Librarian who helps Mr. Shoemaker with the extensive music files and also helps with the mending of torn or damaged music. The band as usual presented a series of three concerts on January 27, March 10, and April 28. Ihe concerts were all excellent and ranged from numerous novelty numbers to famous and well known symphony favorites and well known suites. 46 3k leir r Language First of the woodwinds we salute The clever rouge who plays the flute.

One of the most important events of the year for both the public and the choir members was the annual operetta. ' The Mikado”, a Gilbert and Sullivan favorite, was presented this year. Other functions at which the A Cappella sings are: The Armistice Day Program, The Cap and Gown and the Honor Society Assemblies, P.T.A. meetings, and the Christmas Program. One program that the A Cappella took on this year was the raising of a fund to be used in buy- ing all types of records for Vaughan Hospital.

Hail, Hail, the gang’s all here The three little maids In review March 28 and 29 the audience impatiently awaits the humorous Gilbert and Sullivan oper- etta, The Mikado”. Before the action begins, Nanki-Poo, the son of the Emperor of Japan, has fled from his father’s court to escape marriage with a disagreeable old woman, Katisha. Falling in love with the beautiful maiden Yum-Yum, he cannot marry her because her guardian, the Lord High Executioner, Ko-Ko, wants her for himself Ko-Ko, ordered to execute someone or lose his post, gives Nanki-Poo the right to marry Yum-Yum, if, at the end of a month, he will be executed himself. An old marriage law, discovered by Katisha, decrees that when her husband is executed, a wife must be buried alive. However, Nanki-Poo and Yum-Yum plan to leave and Ko-Ko writes a false statement of Nanki-Poo’s execution. The arrival of the Mikado, who is looking for his long- lost son, disrupts the general rejoicing. The anger of the Mikado over his son’s supposed execution influences Ko-Ko to tell all. Everybody is again happy and Nanki-Poo and Yum-Yum are brought back to the Court. The final touch of happiness in this gay operetta comes with the proposal of Ko-Ko to Katisha.

The faculty chooses fifteen percent of the senior class who have met the above qualifications and are in the upper one third of their class. Extra curricular activities are necessary for election, such as athletics, clubs or publications. NATIONAL ATHLETIC SCHOLARSHIP Every boy who wins a letter as a participant in any type of sport, or is a manager and maintains a scholastic average of at least a B is automatic- ally elected to membership in the National Ath- letic Scholarship Society. This organization gives recognition to boys who keep their scholastic record sufficiently high and who are active in some phase of sports, in hopes of bringing about better scholastic records from schools rather than just a record of athletic trophies. A boy may be elected in any high school year. After election the boys receive a certificate of membership and a card, and may order a pin which represents the organization.

The highest honor that the members of the Caul- dron and High Life Staffs can receive is a Quill and Scroll award. This honor is given each year to those Junior and Senior students who have done creative work in journalism and have served on either High Life or Cauldron Staffs. The student must be in the upper third of his class, be recommended by his advisor, and be approved by the National Secretary-T reasurer. In the spring, members of this society receive a pin and also a subscription to the Quill and Scroll Magazine as recognition of their superior liter- ary efforts on one of our Downers Grove High School Publications. Each year the local chapter of the Daughters of the American Revolution has sponsored the selection of a senior girl who excells in service, leadership, patriotism and dependability This year three girls were chosen by nomina- tions held in senior English classes. The three girls chosen by the committee on nominations were: Jeanne Ann Cox, Carol Howland, and Marilyn Moffett. From these three, the faculty chose Carol Howland as the girl whom they thought best fulfilled these three important characteristics. These three Senior girls deserve congratulations upon achieving this honor, which is one that is sought by all the girls. 53 Don gets into trouble. Dewey's class- mates cheer him up. The two lovers. Dewey 40 years later Scene in the Robert's home. With an expectant hush and the dimming of the house lights, the curtains parted on the wistful comedy, Remember the Day”, presented October 25 and 26, 1945. This all-school play ushered in a new atomic age in our dramatic history. Young Dewey Robert’s crush on his pretty teacher, Nora Trinell, develops when he dis- covers that they have a mutual interest in ships. The trials and tribulations of young Roberts with his classmates and teachers present quite a prob- lem to his affectionate parents. Dewey’s reaction when he discovers that the handsome athletic coach, Dan Hopkins, and his idol Miss Trinell, are in love, is instantaneous, and the adolescent youth grows up quickly. Applauded by an appreciative audience, Re- member the Day” will go down on record as one of the best plays produced here at D. G. H. S.

The betterment of the community, the school, and its members through the creation of Christian char- acters is the purpose of this high school Y.M.C.A. There are two Hi-Y clubs, which are divided according to the classes. The Freshman-Sophomore boys are under the leadership of advisor Mr. Wayne T. Guthrie. They elected Gordon Redd as President, and Ed Derr as Secretary at the end of last year. Arnold Shrank, Vice-President and Warren Vorreyer, Treasurer, were added when the new members were included at the beginning of this year. Mr. Ralph Cressey advises the boys of the Junior-Senior organization. Their officers are Dick Uphoff, President, Harry Nichols, Vice- President, Kenton Stephens, Secretary, and Glen Lukes, Treasurer. The various committee heads and past officers complete the cabinets. The Hi-Y clubs have recently been affiliated with the national organization, and all the pro- spective members participated in an initiation ceremony. The requirements for membership are simple, any boy attending a certain number of meetings is eligible. A varied program is followed through the year. Speakers, panels, group discussions, suppers, and sport nights alternately high light the meetings. Hi-Y members are noted for their participation in many school activities. An interesting feature of many of the speakers of the past was variety. Returned service men were welcomed back and invited to give accounts of their adventures. They spoke of everything from troop trains to submarines, but all mentioned the rewards of their Hi-Y training. A popular event was the joint meeting with G. R. A panel from both groups led the clubs in discussion of family problems and relationships, dating, money problems, and other topics of high school interest. This same panel was later in- vited to appear before the P.T.A. to discuss the opportunities and values of the school program. On March 9, the State Fair came to Downers. This was the annual G. R.-Hi-Y party. Having everything from live stock to brass bands, the affair was acclaimed one of the best of the year. These two events were planned at a joint pot luck supper attended by the cabinet members and advisors. The G. R. and Hi-Y have recently realized the potentialities of their co-operative efforts. The mystifying initials M B S. were the theme for the Hi-Y portion of the Carnival. They stood for mind, body, and soul, and the usual spine tingling episodes were created in the locker rooms for the pleasure of the patrons. Luminous paint, scientific equipment, sudden screams, and mad doctors were combined to give a picture of the supernatural. On December 8, the main event of the national Y.M.C.A. year took place. The Boy-Girl Con- ference was attended by Downers Grove repre- sentatives, Hi-Y, G.R., Tri-Hi-Y, and other organi- zations that were eligible This conference was one of several in the state. The activities of Hi-Y in Downers Grove High School are being expanded more and more each year. The organization has become a guiding beacon for boys here and enthusiastically spon- sored by them. 57 G. R. CABINET First Row: J. Mlyniec, V. Kuzi- emka, A. Powers, L. Larson, R. Daniel, M. Rusche.

It is divided into two sections, the Freshmen-Sopho- more group sponsored by Miss Fronk, and the Junior-Senior group under the guidance of Miss Bales. Each section of the G. R. has its monthly meet- ings. Besides these, there are monthly meetings of the four clubs incorporated in G. R. These clubs are Music, Charm, Social Service, and Craft. The girls belong to these clubs according to their liking and interest. Also held each month are the G. R Matin Services. These religious programs are held early in the morning. All girls in the school are invited to attend them. One of the major activities of the year is the Big and Little Sister tea. The older G. R members each adopt a little freshman. They are impressively entertained at their initiation and a supper is served afterwards. The G. R collaborates with Hi-Y every year to give one of the best parties of the season. This year the theme was the 'State Fair.’’ Also, every year the G. R. and Hi-Y have a joint conference. This year the conference was held at Oak Park. Junior-Senior G. R. officers for this year were: President, Helen Langrill; Vice-President, Betty Artus,• Secretary, Anna Mae Powers, Treasurer, Marilyn Moffett, Social Service, Rica Tubbs, Social, Jean Larson; Blue Circle, Elaine Berg,- Music, Ruth Daniel, Financial, Lois Larson,- Publicity, Violet Kuziemka; Matin Service Chairman, Pat Johnson.

The G. R. Conference at Hinsdale was attended by eight clubs The topic was Youth, the Back- bone of the Nation”. Downers Grove made the decorations for the affair. At the annual spring party, officers are in- stalled. Rings are presented to outstanding Juniors and spoons to worthy Seniors. The mothers and dads of the members are invited. 5S First Row: J.

As a result of his good coaching and fine, sportsmanlike attitude, he was well liked and respected by his boys. Julian M. Taylo, serving as lightweight football and basketball and assistant track coach, has turned in another successful year of work. Even in the face of a poor season, Coach Taylo did much to improve the team’s playing. Donovan Ingles’ main job this year was his coaching of Frosh-Soph Lightweight Football, but he also devoted some of his time to the coaching of cross country. His able advice was carried out at many track meets and games and his sports- manship is well known. Serving this year as a new Assistant Coach, Lee Miller has done his job well. The success of his team is due in no small measure to his able coach- ing. The versatile Wayne T. Guthrie has devoted much of his time to the coaching of tennis. Due to weather, practice in the gym supplanted court practice much of the time. A test on the skills and understanding of the game aided this team. Ralph Cressey has led the golf team through another successful year. As the coach, he did well in training boys for this interesting game. Harry Trygg served as assistant basketball coach and as Frosh-Soph trainer. His good sense has led the team to many a victory. Working hard and steadily at the job of as- sistant lightweight football coach, Frank Riddles- berger has been a great asset to the coaching staff. Herbert Adams, back for the second semester, has picked up his duties as assistant track coach and they have kept him busy all the time. His skill and humor has made him well liked by all. 62 Again this year, as in past years, the 'D Club has done its bit to increase school spirit and de- velop sportsmanship among our boys. The organi- zation is composed entirely of athletes, and it is open only to those who hold letters in the various sports. It is under the joint sponsorship of Mr. Richard Kucera and Mr. Julian M. Taylo. The Downers Grove High School D” Club was, until 1943, an honorary organization. Given new life by Mr. Orville Krughoff, it has been expanded by Mr. Kucera and Mr. Taylo this year. As its major activity this year, the organization sponsored the annual D” Club Dance given in the fall. The boys were also the guests of the Trojan Fathers’ Club at their annual dinner an event looked forward to by all the boys. After a hearty meal, the boys and their parents heard speeches by Luke Johnsos, coach of the Chicago Bears, George Meyer, Football coach at DePaul University, and Muddy” Ruel, assistant to the baseball Commissioner Chandler. The speakers were introduced by Mr. Vorel, President of the Trojan Fathers’ Club. The affair was a great suc- cess and was thoroughly enjoyed by all.

In the fall of 1945, Downers, with a new coach and plenty of good material, had high hopes of putting their electrical energy to good advantage, and in spite of many defeats, played remarkably good football. The heavies, opening the season at West Aurora, got off to a good start by beating a strong Red and Blue team 7-0. Quarterback Ed Lester scored D. G.’s only marker. Again playing on a wet field, an underdog D. G. H. S. eleven held a strong Riverside squad to a 7-7 tie. Quarterback Lester again scored Downers’ only touchdown. The next week, the Purple and White Squad, playing an underrated Hinsdale team, succumbed to a last period drive, and was unable to do any better than another tie, 6-6. The Downers' score came in the third quarter with Red Barr carrying on an end-around play. Downers’ heavyweights, host to Glenbard, were unable to stop the hilltoppers back field stars and came off on the unlucky end of a 13-0 score. Half- back Mizener once got as far as Glenbard’s four yard line, but the Trojan gridders were unable to score. Trojan grid hopes began to fade as the heavies absorbed a 31-0 beating by York, who went on to win the West Suburban Conference Champion- ship. The heavies didn’t stand a chance against York’s heavy line and tricky backfield. The purple squad, injury ridden from the pre- vious game, allowed La Grange's Lions three touchdowns in the first half, in losing the third straight game by a score of 21-6. Downers, how- ever, monopolized play in the last half and scored on a long pass from Barr to Mizener. The game ended with D. G. again in scoring position. In the last Downers game of the season, the squad got off to a bad start when a second quarter fumble was caught by a Maine end who ran 20 yards for a touchdown. The final score stood at 13-0. y na mos HEAVYWEIGHT STANDINGS School Won Lost Tied Pet.

The first two conference contests, Riverside and Hinsdale, brought a tied score The following game at Glenbard resulted in our first loss of the season The contests with York, LaGrange and Maine added three de- feats to the conference scoresheet. The heavy- weight outlook is bright next year because of the returning lettermen who have experience, illustrated by the fact that there will be a start- ing lineup of eleven lettermen. Top Row: H.

LIGHTWEIGHT FOOTBALL SUMMARY Although not scoring high enough to have Mr. Haebich appear before the awards as- sembly, Trojan ponies tried hard all season, improving so that they played their best and last game of the year against Maine’s conference champs. Having only two lettermen to start with, (Co-Captains Hays and Ruthardt), it was a green team that started the 1945 season at Aurora. The experience gained in this game and the next one with Riverside enabled them to tie their next two opponents. After losing to York, they went on to win their only victory from LaGrange. Lightweight hope for next year is bright with a fine Frosh-Soph squcd com- ing up. cJauh (itjio s LIGHTWEIGHT STANDINGS SCHOOL Won Lost Tied Pet.

The Downers Grove Lightweights, in spite of the loss of most of their lettermen to the heavy- weight squad, had a better than was to be expected season, winning one and tying two against tough Conference opposition. The boys go off to a bad start when they lost a hard fought game to a big and flashy West High frosh-soph team, 7-0. Inexperience was the chief cause of the defeat. In their first conference start, weather condi- tions and inexperience again combined to halt the Purple attack as the lights went down before Riverside’s conference champs, 13-0. The following Saturday, Coach Taylo’s boys, hoping to win their first conference game met the last place Hinsdale imps. Although the day was fine and the gridiron fast, neither team was able to get going, and the game ended with a 0-0 tie. Determined to make good, the Trojan lights poured the heat on Glenbard, but Providence was against them as they again tied a hard fought game 6-6. At the game at York, the Downers Boys out- played a heavier York team for three quarters before giving way late in the fourth, losing 6-0. In a flash of purple and white, our Trojan lights scored a 14-13 victory over LaGrange in the closing grid game of the season. A close game throughout, the match was won by a fine display of team work on the part of the local boys. The Maine-Downers Grove game provided many moments of excitement for local fans, though it proved a disappointment to the high hopes of our lightweight team. A 12-0 score with Maine on top was the result of a hard fought game. The squad managed, though, to keep the opposition score down, despite their own inability to score.

Downers heavies, led through their somewhat disastrous season by Tiny” Anderson, who scored 112 points in 12 conference games, to place sixth among the scoring champs, won none of its 12 conference and 6 practice games. The poor showing made in the conference race may be charged up to inexperience. The season, contrary to the impressions gained by studying the conference standings, furnished a lot of thrilling games. The Heavies, playing their best games against the best teams in the confer- ence, lost no less than five games by 4 points or less. Prospects for next year are good; with a little luck and five returning regulars, the Trojan cagers should be among the top four. 68 Trojan Lights, faced with the double handicap of inexperience and hard luck, were unable to do better than a sixth place record. The team was led by seniors, Bob Mallary and Lenny Mochel, who shared high point honors in most of the games. The ponies, besides their 10 con- ference losses, also dropped three out of five of their practice games. The one thing the lights had in common with their heavyweight partners, besides their losing record, was their faculty to furnish an exciting evening to the large crowds that invariably at- tended the games. The outlook for next year s season appears very bright, since the lights have three regulars and three of the lettermen back for next year’s team.

For the first time in D. G. H. S. track history, the team got a head start on the weather by rent- ing the North Central College Fieldhouse for pre- season practice. Several practice track meets with Naperville, Wheaton and teams of the West Suburban Conference were held. This season the team bids fair to be a real contender in the conference and state races. The squad sparkles with stars in the sprints and in the field events. Co-captains Joe Gorecki, recently returned from a year’s service in the Army Air Forces, and Bill Berry, have both turned in good time in the hurdles. In the half mile and mile runs, Pete Burns, former Cross Country star, is ex- pected to make the going tough for Downers op- ponents. Joe Gorecki, Harold McMaster, Glen Lukes and Bob Smith have been turning up to take the sprints. The only serious weakness in the entire squad is in the mile, where additional strength in the form of a top flight miler is needed. All in all, with the indoor practice and well stocked roster of stars, the prospect for a really profitable season appears to be the best in years. TRACK First Row: T. Lifka, L. Anderson, P.

While netting sixth place, our prospective squad of fast runners gained valuable experience dur- ing their workouts and at the meets. Enthusiasm in the bleachers and the leadership of our cheerleaders have done much this year to bolster the spirit of our teams. Present at all athletic events, our cheerleaders: Jim Scott, Carol Heilman, Dave Reade, Pete Wetmore, Arlie Mae Finnegan, Mickey Gerg, June Garner, Gail Borman, and Pat Feen, have maintained, if not surpassed their previous record.

These were backed by an eager group of underclass- men who made up for their lack of experience with their great amount of enthusiasm. The condition of the clay courts has handi- capped the squad considerably, but they are anxiously awaiting for practice on at least one asphalt court by next season. The tennis squad was greatly helped by a test on skills and under- standing of the game and by the able coaching of Mr. Wayne T. Guthrie. The match with Hinsdale on April 10 opened the 1946 season with much hope for success. GOLF The golf season was filled with enthusiasm and spirit this year. The team, headed by three re- turning lettermen, did very well. Sid Olson, who won many of his matches last year, was expected to do well in the conference and practice meets. The boys’ practice consisted of a full 18 holes once a week. They usually played two matches a week: one on the home course, Ruth Lake, and one away. The squad has fortunately procured the beautiful Ruth Lake course for practice. The able coaching assistance of Mr. Ralph Cressey aided the teams and made a very inter- esting sport even more enjoyable. 72 HEADS OF SPORTS G.A.A. BOARD Left to Right: A. Wolff, J. Conrad, J.

The primary purpose of the Girls’ Athletic As- sociation is to promote a friendlier attitude among the girls in sports. By encouraging sportsmanship in games, the girls acquire leadership, and a val- uable sense of sureness. A series of business meetings are held through- out the year. Such meetings provide an ample opportunity for the girls to show their ability as to the planning of meetings. Programs are pro- vided and members of the organization are asked to participate in them. After each meeting, re- freshments are served, and the girls get together in groups and have a very enjoyable time. Any girl is eligible to join the association if she has earned one hundred points in health and sports. A formal and informal initiation was held in November of this year A point system has been worked out and pro- vides an equal opportunity for each girl to earn her G.A.A. awards. By earning the required number of points, freshmen can get their numerals, sophomores their ”D’$”, juniors get I s , which are state awards, and the state emblem is awarded to seniors. The girls may earn points by participating in basketball games, tennis, archery, hockey, soccer, and by refereeing these games. A vote was taken, and bowling was another sport which the girls desire to add to their list. The entire G.A.A. organization owes most of its success to the able guidance of Miss Margaret Fluent, faculty advisor. She is ready to give help- ful advice and criticism at all times. Carol How- land, this year’s president, ably guided the organ- ization through a very successful year. During the first semester, Mrs. Marjorie Adams assisted the girls in learning the finer points in the art of playing hockey. This is the first year that hockey has held any place in our sports section, and without the help of Mrs. Adams, the girls could not have had the opportunity to learn the game. Miss Saunders and Miss Blackwell have super- vised basketball games each Monday and Friday evenings after school. They come out and assist in getting the games started and give advice as to certain decisions. It is necessary to have such faculty advisors on hand each evening one stays for sports in order to keep the games going. Q. XX... MISS FLUENT Advisor HR2f|i£9 RH The problem of making out a sports calendar, arranging CjT S for tournaments, and provid- ing referees for all games is in the hands of the head of sports and her assistants. i This year, Agnes Wolff is our capable head of sports, and June Conrad, and Joan Mech are her assistants. The division of sports is left en- tirely up to them. Arranging a schedule which is convenient to all girls is a difficult problem, and these girls have tackled the job successfully. With their schedule, each girl can go out for sports as much as possible. Monday and Friday after school were the nights selected to hold tournaments. In the fall, soccer, archery, baseball, and speed- ball are the outside sports which entice the girls to come out and enter in the game. Throughout the winter months, basketball, volleyball, and tumbling are held inside. When spring rolls around, the girls are ready and willing to get out into the good out-doors Tennis is one sport which the girls welcome. Tournaments are held in order to determine the champion in the various sports fields. It is inter- esting to note the variety of players each team has, and how each captain selects her players. In the soccer tournament, a sophomore team won. Joan Mech and her team out-played all other competitors. A held-over baseball tournament saw Mary Callan’s senior team step forward as cham- pions. Hockey did not seem to attract a great number of girls, but those who participated in the game knew all the best plays and became very good in the art of handling a hockey stick. Once again, Joan Mech's team won this tournament. The girls who make up the winning teams receive special awards on Award Night. Leader’s Club is an organization within G.A.A , which is composed of girls who show their inter- est in refereeing all the games sponsored by G.A.A These girls are elected into the club, to take the place of a senior. Their object is to learn the rules of the games, and to be able to use this knowledge in refereeing games. Sports attract a great variety of players. Some play to better themselves and increase their knowl- edge as to learning new plays. Others play to learn more about the game and how it is played. Still, it is the main object of each girl to get into the game and play to the best of her ability. By so doing, she increases her chances of getting into one of the tournaments.

The girl chosen is one who has shown ability as a leader in sports as well as scholarship. The evening of the Spring Dance, the cup was presented to Carol Howland, the most deserv- ing senior girl Freshmen, Sophomores, Juniors and Seniors alike look forward with anticipation to Saturday, April 13 the night of the annual G.A.A. Spring Dance. All members of the Girls’ Athletic Association help in some way towards preparation for the affair, either with refreshments, decorations, pro- gram, or cleanup In order to attend, each girl must go to three business meetings, and the fresh- men must sell candy at two athletic events during the year. Students arriving at the dance were delighted with the little elfs and diminutive houses which were distributed tastefully throughout the gym- nasium carrying out the theme of the fantastic. The success of the G.A.A Dance can be at- tributed in a large part to the work of Miss Fluent and the G.A.A. The cooperation of the student body was appreciated by all those whose plans made the party a success. 76 Straight and Speedy. Get that ball! What have we here?

Neat form Locker room chatter y CD owners Grove cftigh School Growing from sparks, patching and plugging leaks and interferences, passing through the trans- former, and then developing into seniors was the greatest thrill of school life. When the country was at war not quite a year, the class of 1946 entered Downers Grove High School to amplify their knowledge. In the first year, they led the honor roll several times and kept it up for the remaining years of school life As freshmen, sophomores, and juniors, they shone in the all-school plays, and operettas, taking many of the leading roles. The war raged on and so did the class of 1946. The boys and girls enthusiastically entered school sports, contributing much towards winning two conference championships. Extra curricular activ- ities pressed forward with this year’s seniors pushing and working for success and achievement. All clubs were patronized by them They were in the band, choruses, and orchestra too. The third year found them cooking with elec- tricity’’ As juniors, they participated whole- heartedly in the Carnival Stage Show. Active membership in the Student Council continued. Debate was moving steadily into the limelight. The debate team represented Downers Grove High School at the State Tournament winning second place. Two members of the varsity team were senior girls.

Instead, it must be an all-out effort on our part to practice the principles which they fought to preserve. The cessation of hostilities has given us another opportunity to adjust our way of living so that it will be based on Christian principles. All men can be brothers if they will but find this common purpose for which all mankind was created. With the increased possibility that whole nations will be destroyed if another war comes to pass, nations must find a common ground on which to settle their differences peacefully. Our brave sons who gave their lives to save the human race expect us to achieve this objective during our lifetime To do otherwise would be to break faith with the responsibilities that they have placed upon us. •¥• ¥ DIED IN SERVICE Harold Andres Richard S.
