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.

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
