✓ DOWNERS GROVE COMMUNITY HIGH SCHOOL Downers Grove, Illinois Volume XXVIII God conceived the world, that was poetry. He formed it, that was sculpture, He colored it, that was painting, He peopled it with living beings, that was the grand, divine, eternal drama. On the Curtain of Ford’s Opera House, Baltimore, Maryland Suspense, action, mystery, romance, and simple, daily living all combine in Downers Grove High School or any place, for that matter, to form a drama that is as wonder- ful as any the masters have penned. We find actors who play football, write essays, speak in debates, lead meet- ings, and do a multitude of things that may bring them a moment s recognition. Stagehands, electricians, artists, musicians practice and perform for their role in the show. The directors lead and give of their knowledge so that all performers may develop their potential talents. It is hoped that this 1947 Cauldron will be a guide a program book for those who played in this year’s drama of high school life. 2 e dic a tion The glamour of the footlights does not belong to them, but our drama could not be produced without their toil- some and often tedious labor. Mr. William Cleveland, Miss Velma Dickson, Mr. Kenneth Lage, and Mr. Donovan Ingles are the unsung heroes of our backstage crew. It is their job to see that the stage sets are constructed, painted, and intact, the lights are properly adjusted, the public address system is in working condition, the bulletins, tickets and programs are printed, and all other similar jobs are performed. We offer this volume as a token of our appreciation for their splendid cooperation. Mr. Cleveland Our back stage crew confers Miss Dickson Mr. Ingles Mr. Lage fU.re William Shakespeare As You Like It All the world's a stage, And all the men and women merely players. They have their exits and their entrances, And one man in his time plays many parts, His acts being seven ages. GEORGE E. DeWOLF, M.A. Superintendent £)irectorS BOARD OF EDUCATION Mr. Herrick, Mr. Lewis, Mr. Phelps, Mrs. Doster, Mr. Erff- meyer. Standing, Mr. DeWolf. 10 The producer of our play, The Downers Grove Community High School , is Mr George E. DeWolf As well as being superintendent of schools and executive officer of the Board of Education, he is vice-president of the West Suburban Conference Through his leadership our production shows a well rounded and progressive educational program. The important job of directing our ploy is expertly done by Clarence W. Johnson. As principal and Dean of Boys he directs the planning and operation of the whole school program. Observation of our school s mechanism will enable one to see Mr. Johnson s modern and progressive ideas in action. Anyone desiring advice will find in Mr. Johnson wise and trustworthy counsel. The position of assistant director and Dean of Girls keeps Mrs. Charlotte D Andersen very busy, but she always has time to help anyone needing aid. Every phase of our school life is influenced by her wise and understanding advice. Her heartwarming smile and careful guidance endear her to everyone The members of our Board of Education who are responsible for our High School are Mr L. L Phelps, President, Mr. W. D Herrick, Secretary, Mrs. Bruce Doster, Mr H A. Erff- meyer, and Mr. J. M. Lewis t 80 CLARENCE W. JOHNSON, M.A. Principal 11 HERBERT L. ADAMS ... Normal, III.

Freshman party fun opens their season Close scores provide keen competition The usual comments concerning freshmen were made about 300 newcomers to high school this year as they wandered around in utter confusion. “Where is 213, I can’t find the girls’ locker rooms, Is there a 4th floor, What! No elevators?” was heard far and near. Soon, however, through the helpful guid- ance of teachers and counselors, a pattern began to emerge from this chaos, and the freshmen commenced to participate in school activities. Gradually they were drawn into clubs, such as Y-Teens, G.A.A., Hi-Y, and many others. They were also represented in the All-School Play, the Carnival, Band, Student Council, athletics, the Christmas program, and the honor roll. The freshman party, which was held in September, introduced them to school parties and dances, all of which they enthusiastically supported and attended They certainly didn’t lack school spirit, for the freshmen comprised a large part of the cheering sections at our sports events. These boys and girls have three more years of high school life ahead of them, and we have every reason to believe that they will be happy and successful years. Our confid- ence in the class of ’50 is unlimited and we know that they will help D.G.H.S. take top honors. 17 Row One: J. Schmidt, M. Rekstad, S. Armstrong, R. Wilson, D. Minnick, A. Aholt, C.

All actors suffering from minor ailments can have them skillfully treated by Miss Myna Beck or her helpers. The clinic staff is composed of Joy Petry, Lois Edgell, Carol Heilman, and Mickey Berkowitz. Every day each girl donates one hour to clinic duty. They gain experience by learning to meet emergencies quickly and calmly. Upon entering the clinic we are cheered by the freshly painted walls and the bright floral curtains. It is equipped with three beds, which are always in use. The complete stock of medical supplies helps the showpeople to live up to their motto The show must go on”. Our actors have the capable cafeteria staff to thank for the skillful preparation of the delicious food they are served every noon. Most students use the privilege of buying all or any part of their lunches, but few realize the amount of careful planning and work that are combined to produce these meals. Despite food shortages, the cafeteria staff has always been able to maintain a sufficiently varied menu to supply the students with balanced meals throughout the week. The division of the lunch period into three periods of one half hour each, the employment of student volunteers, and the posting of regula- tions are all contributing factors to the efficiency of our cafeteria 20 P.T.A.

( dl(( Introductions feed dllcmj No production can exist without encourage- ment, and the cast of our drama found its most ardent supporters in the Parent-Teacher As- sociation. Membership for 1946-47 reached 736, which was a new all-time high, and showed an increase of approximately 30% over last year's 562. Open house was the first in a series of interesting and inspiring programs in which there was more student participation than ever before. The traditional Christmas program was held on Dec. 17th, and, as usual attracted a large crowd. The main function of the P.T.A. has always been to bring the home and school into closer relationship, and this year's theme, Know Your School ’, was well in keeping with that purpose The Band Parent’s Association, a band booster’s club, was organized in 1932. It is a promotional organization whose duties in- clude the sponsoring of all band concerts, and encouraging and taking care of all arrange- ments for contest activities On November 22 they planned and sponsored an informal party for the members of the band. Because of the moral support ar.d encourage- ment shown the musicians, we are able to enjoy the beautiful and inspiring music at the annual concerts. This year’s officers are: Chairman, Mr. G. B Reeve Vice Chairman, Mr. H. E. Bale Secretary, Mrs. Harris Thompson Assistant Secretary, Mrs. C. G. Bridgeman Treasurer, Mr. E. Hart Assistant treasurer, Mr. E. T. Groat 21 MAINTENANCE STAFF E.

Stacie Set Yjana erS When freshmen enter our school, one of the first things they learn is that it is one of which they can be proud. On both the inside and the outside D.G.H.S. is one of the finest schools in this section. We owe this to our fine maintenance staff, which, headed by Mr. Irving Leverenz, works constantly winter and summer. Their perpetual efforts have and deserve the respect of every student, teacher, and visitor in our school They are men of all work. They do everything from fixing lockers to cleaning up ink spots. Occasionally they will even be called upon to evict a stray dog. Each night they begin, even before school is out, to straighten and clean the class rooms. This year there are several students who stay after school and assist the janitors. There is extra work whenever any activity calls for the use of the gym or the auditorium, for then they must put these in order before and after they are used. During the summer when the rest of the school s occupants are all busily engaged in resting, Mr. Leverenz and his staff are still as busy as ever. They have to clean the buildings from top to bottom and get them in order for next year. Then, when this is finished, they must keep the extensive lawns mowed and sprinkled, the bushes, trees, walks, tennis courts, and athletic fields all in perfect order. The 1947 Cauldron wishes to extend to these men a vote of thanks for their tireless effort. 22 LIGHTWEIGHT FOOTBALL CONFERENCE STANDINGS Won Lost Tie DOWNERS GROVE 5 0 1 LaGrange 3 0 3 York 3 1 2 Hinsdale 3 2 1 Glenbard 2 4 0 Maine 1 5 0 Riverside-Brookfield 0 5 1 The Trophy Top Row: A.

The game see- sawed up and down the field until Downers scored twice more in the 4th period. Downers Grove 1 3 La Grange 1 3 The only black mark of the season occurred on this fateful day. It is probably best said that LaGrange had a good team and a good day. Downers came from behind in the final period to tie it up. Having only seven of last year s lettermen with which to start the season, the lightweights had to and did play good ball to become the first undisputed lightweight champs in the school s history. Evan Davies and Gene Donald- son were elected co-captains Downers Grove 21 West Aurora 0 Scoring twice in the first quarter, the Trojans wasted no time with West Aurora’s frosh- soph team. A pass interception on the 9 yard line late in the third quarter kept West Aurora from scoring. Downers Grove 20 Maine 6 The result of many of the regulars ploying their first game before a home crowd, was a poorly played first half on Downers part. The local boys, however, settled down and pushed over 3 touchdowns, and early in the 4th quarter the second team took over. Maine scored once. Downers Grove 38 Riverside-Brookfield 0 After 4 first period fumbles the team calmed down a bit, and scored 2 touchdowns in the 2nd quarter to leave the halftime count at 14-0. The half ended, however, with R-B on the Trojan 1 % foot line. After three second half scores, the 2nd team then took over and got into the spirit of things and produced 6 points. Downers Grove 34 Hinsdale 6 Playing before a Dad’s Day crowd, the boys turned on the steam for two counters in the 1st quarter. They came through with another half- way through the 2nd. Downers Grove 27 York 6 York’s tricky ponies scored first, but by the end of the first frame they were behind 7-6. The third quarter was up and down the field with D.G. mainly controlling the ball. The last period added 7 more points to the D.G. side of the ledger. Downers Grove 40 Marmion 24 Downers scored the most points of the season against this big, rough frosh-soph team but also earned their worst defensive record. The ponies didn’t begin to pull away until the third quarter when they scored two touchdowns to make it 27-12. The fourth period produced two tallies for each team. Downers Grove 19 Glenbard 0 Because of the championship crisis, Downers easily scored thrice in the first half. Our lights then concentrated on defense and held Glen- bard scoreless, to win 19-0 and become 1946 West Suburban Conference Lightweight Cham- pions. LIGHTS Row One: L. Nielsen, B. McCabe, W.

But the breaks of the season went against them, and they wound up in a three way tie for fourth place Lawrence Mizener captained the team We can proudly say that this squad played fine and exciting ball the whole season.

Downers Grove 7 West Aurora 21 Playing a strong team on their own field proved to be too great a task for the high- spirited and gallant Trojan team. West Aurora scored in each of the first three quarters, and the Downers boys pushed over in the fourth period. Downers Grove 0 Maine 1 4 Downers’ trouble in this game was their in- ability to guard against passes. Both of Maine’s touchdowns came as a result of aerials. The Trojans would like to have played this game over, because the locker room feeling was that the Blue Demons weren’t so hot. Downers Grove 0 Riverside-Brookfield 6 Having fumblitis” seemed to be in style for Downers at Riverside this year. For there were three passes dropped by Downers boys that might have changed the score by 18 points. R-B pushed over in an exciting last quarter drive. This was a game where all the breaks went against the Trojans. Downers Grove 14 Hinsdale 13 Perhaps playing before their Dads or getting to keep the Old Oaken Bucket for another season inspired the heavies this day, but whatever it was they gained their first victory of the season by a hair-raising 14-13 score. Each team scored a touchdown in the first quarter, but Hinsdale failed to add the extra point. This proved to be their downfall. Downers Grove 0 La Grange 1 2 LaGrange proved their defensive value when they kept our Trojans from scoring when they had a 1 st and goal on the LaGrange 8. Downers played on equal or better terms with LaGrange during the second half. Some beautiful kicking was done by Downers. Downers Grove 13 York 12 This was another exciting game in which the final score was just a one point margin for Downers. This game was more thrilling than that with Hinsdale, because all the scoring was done in the last quarter. Downers scored first, but failed to convert. York had the same success. The game’s highlight came when Downers returned York’s kickoff for a 100 yard touchdown run. The extra point was made. York then scored, but to the relief of all loyal Downersites ”, failed to add the extra point. Downers Grove 40 Marmion 0 This game is best summed up by saying that it was a riot for Downers. They scored twice in the first, twice in the third and twice in the fourth. All of Downers’ players got to play at one time or another. Downers 2 Glenbard 1 3 Downers 2 points in this game came as a result of trapping a Glenbard player behind his goal line. Downers out-played Glenbard for the first half, and were ahead 2-0 at half- time. Glenbard mixed their plays up in the second half and kept changing from passing .to running. They scored two touchdowns to win 13-2. HEAVIES Row One: E. Lester, B. Smith, H. Boula, S. Ross, L. Mizener, Copt. B. Perkins, B. Holmes, K. Turner, N. Hagemann, Mar. Row Two: B. Seifert, Mgr., D.

JJIWA-On Parts On Saturday afternoons during the fall, the cross country contests were regular events Between halves of the football games, the squad under the direction of Mr Donovan Ingles met their opponents of the West Sub- urban Conference.

This group provides a fine nucleus for next year, because they will all return Riverside-Brookfield and Hinsdale were de- feated by Downers Grove, while Maine, La Grange, and York turned the tables on us These victories and defeats placed us sixth in the Conference The two-mile boys, however, were all first year lettermen and their experi- ence and effort in the coming years should bring home a winning team Let's have a C mon Purple, C mon White!

Sports worn en The Girls Athletic Association sponsors a large and varied program of sports throughout the year for the girls. Capable referees to officiate at the games are found in the Leaders’ Club, a small but important part of the G.A.A. Leaders' Club is composed of girls outstand- ing in sports. In the spring any girl interested in joining writes a letter to the club expressing her wish. One is chosen to take the place of every senior who graduates. At the meetings open discussion is held on the rules and regulations of the games being played. A rule book is kept handy in case of arguments, and Miss Fluent, the sponsor, is present at all times to interpret any complicated rules. When they have the rules thoroughly in mind, the girls are ready to ref the practice games after school, and also the climaxing tournaments. As they perform this task, they in turn pass the rules on to the other girls, who soon know them almost as well as Leaders’ Club members themselves. Learning the rules was a little harder this season than in previous ones because the basketball rules were recently changed slightly. The president of Leaders’ Club was Jane Ann Brignall. This year for the first time, the club president was made a member of the G.A.A. Board. The Leaders’ Club is important in that it develops the qualities of leadership and good judgment in the girls. While refereeing they must be able to direct the players wisely, fairly, and without partiality. The Physical Education Department of the girls has for some time been under the capable direction of Miss Margaret Fluent. This year, with the increase in the size of gym classes, another teacher, Miss Mabel Hoile, was secured. With the arrival of Miss Holle came new techniques in basketball. She will always be remembered for her stiff quizzes on basket- ball rules. Gym is made one of the most enjoy- able hours of the day by the able direction of these two teachers. 28 Miss Fluent Miss Holle A sharp blast from the referee’s whistle and a powerful kick sends the ball rolling in the girls’ soccer tournament, the climax of a vigor- ous season of fall sports. Soccer was the main interest this year with many girls coming out to participate Joan Mech’s team followed up last year’s success by again defeating all other teams in the tourney So far this winning team has achieved two soccer victories and they have their senior year still to come This amazing team also captured the hockey award by winning the hockey tournament. Not many girls went out for this sport, but it was a favorite among those who did Under the able direction of Miss Holle, tennis became a major fall sport this year and the girls loved it Besides learning how to hit the ball, they were taught the correct rules and how to keep score Archery was also a popular sport and by the end of the season the bull s eye on the target was as full of holes as a sieve. When the unusually long and warm fall finally ended, the girls eagerly turned their attention to winter activities oruS r. czLine Win or lose a good game They play with vengeance Straight to the mark The stick is the thing 4pLf Within On the nights of October 24 and 25, an audience watched with mixed emotions the performance of Little Women , the all-school play production for 1946-47. They laughed with Aunt March, whose bark was worse than her bite, and cried with the family when the beloved Beth died. They watched with amuse- ment while Laurie proclaimed his love for Jo, and then married her sister Amy. They left the auditorium happily qfter witnessing the wedding of Meg and Mr. Brooks, Laurie s tutor. This portrayal of the life of a northern family during the Civil War is one of the best, and under the able direction of Miss Jane Nowlin, the cast and backstage crews joined to make this adaption of Louisa M.

The only requirement for member- ship is that the boys have at least one letter in any sport. No officers were elected for this year, but the coaches who sponsor the club, kept things running smoothly The outstanding event of this year’s club activities was the D Dance, which was held in the fall. This proved to be a success, owing to the clever decorations and entertainment. At the close of the football season the boys were guests of the Trojan Father s Club at their annual banquet. D,'Me 2 emus The Table Tennis Club was organized this year by a group of boys who were interested in playing the game. Anyone in school (includ- ing the faculty) is eligible to join this organiza- tion. There were approximately sixty-five mem- bers. Officers elected at the beginning of the year were Jerry O'Dell, President,- Roger Ault, Vice President, Bob Brown, Secretary-Treas- urer. Mr. Herbert Adams is the sponsor. Meetings were held once a week—boys and girls met alternately. The rules and proper methods of playing were taught and practiced 33 I When we play the fool, how wide The theatre expands! beside, How long the audience sits before us!

One delegate was elected from each 6th period class, instead of from home rooms These delegates attended the meetings held during 4th period on Wed- nesdays, then gave their reports on the follow- ing Thursdays to the rooms from which they had been sent. This method was found to be satis- factory, and will be continued in the future The Council of 38 members was under the able guidance of Mrs. Charlotte Andersen, faculty advisor, Tony Cavalli, President; Russell Tabbert, Vice-president; Steve Burns, Secretary,- and Gordon Redd, Treasurer. Gordon Redd was also elected treasurer of the Northeastern District of Student Councils of the State of Illinois at a convention held at J. Sterling Morton High School on November 23, 1946. Downers Grove was represented at that convention by 18 Council members. Delegates from D.G.H.S. also attended the two West Suburban Conference Conventions of Student Councils, the first of which was held at Riverside-Brookfield High School on Decem- ber 4th. There delegations from the various various schools engaged in panel discussions of school problems. The second convention was held in March, at York High School. Council members act as hosts and hostesses at open house, and as ushers on college night. Student Council also sponsors the freshman and sophomore class parties. The Cafeteria Com- mittee is of valuable assistance in keeping our cafeteria neat by taking charge of the table monitor system. Each week a new monitor is appointed, and he or she is responsible for the appearance of his table at the end of the lunch period. Through Student Council members too, Trojan’’ stickers and Downers” pennants were sold in 6th period classes. Thus, you can see that we need have no qualms about the fate of democracy and all it symbolizes as long as organizations like our Student Council are functioning smoothly and effectively in the high schools of today. The students' determination and efforts to have an efficient, well-regulated governing body are inspiring. .V, o mores The sophomore class has done itself proud in overcoming the uncompli- mentary definition (the wise fools) of its name. The fellows made a fine showing in football, basketball, track, and other sports The girls, too, were active in sports, and won awards in G A A Carnival claimed a great deal of the sophomore talent which should serve well in coming productions. Others helped as waitresses, and did varied odd jobs during the carnival. A Hay-Seed Hop on November 1 brought rural recreation to Downers with yokels, farmers, and country belles all attending. Everyone present had a good time and greatly enjoyed the square dancing. In addition, for this party and other activities the sophomores displayed a willingness to work and an ability of which they can well be proud. Biology workbooks must be complete. English has its points. Latin students learn history, too. Sophomores have a party. Row One: J. Jette, J. Willey, J. Mlyniec, L. Smith, D. St. Clair, R. Lange, E. Gray, R. Young, N. Langrill, C.

They fared better in non-conference competition, however, winning 4 out of 7 games As this was the last year of lightweight compe- tition, school spirit was greatly intensified, and every game was hotly contested. Downers encountered considerable hard luck throughout the season, and several games were lost by maddeningly narrow margins. Larry Nielsen captained the team. Trojan heavies fared exactly the same as their lightweight brothers, having a conference record of 3 wins and 9 losses. In other games they won 3 out of 7. With few juniors of outstanding ability, Coach Kucera was forced to play some of his sophomores when two of his seniors were injured early in the season. This worked out well, however, as these sophs showed that they have great possibilities for the future. A captain was chosen before every game to serve for that particular game. Each of the regulars took turns at this honor. At the end of the season Stan- ley Ross was elected captain. Lights Heavies G.

What goes up Freshman girls frolic Referees rest “It's done this way Three man carry lAJinter lie A The highlights of the winter season of girl’s sports were the highly contested basketball and volleyball tournaments. Basketball practices were held for two months before the tourna- ment every week on Monday and Friday nights after school. When the girls were thoroughly acquainted with the game and its rules, the tournament was played. Every game was filled with excitment, was fast-moving and hard- played All basketball players gained more skill and endurance from the fast tournament games, but they gained something more than than this. They acquired a feeling of good sportmanship and fair play. Throughout the tourney, the warmth of good fellowship toward the other players prevailed. The girls were reluctant to leave basketball and turn to volleyball, but once the spirit of the new game was caught, they entered in with great gusto, to wind up with a hard-fought tournament. Volleyball is not as exciting as basketball, but when it is really played, it proves to be as much fun. Some of the girls went down to the gym and practiced such stunts as elephant walks, there- by gaining points toward a G A.A. award. A few of them became quite expert at these tricks. Something we must not leave out is exercises. Many hours were spent slimming down those waistlines. Thus winter sports were brought to a close, and the girls eagerly turned their attention to the out-of-doors again LATIN AND FRENCH CLUBS Row One: C. Aasland, L. GeHert, M Taggart, J. Newbern.

The purpose of these meetings is to show the human side of Ancient Rome. Another language was introduced in D.G H.S. this year, therefore we have a new club Under the direction of Miss Howland the French I class and its club came along nicely With three officers to organize French Club, the members held monthly meetings at which interesting reports were given and French magazines read. Many valuable ideas for next year were promulgated Spanish Club met once every month during the class period; these meetings usually co- incided with the showing of movies about the customs and people of the Spanish speaking countries. The members also played Spanish games, and presented reports on their given topics. During the Christmas season the students sang their favorite carols in Spanish. The chief function of the club is to give the students a better understanding of the language in an interesting way Mrs Helen Cleveland and Miss R. Blanche Howland supervise the club meetings.

Do you know that five twos don't always equal ten? For instance, 222 2 2 = 223 or 2 222 2 = 113 and 2 22 22 = 3. This is just a general idea of what sometimes goes on when the Math Club gets together. On the first and third Fridays of every month the meetings were called to order by the President, Arden Stephens. Other officers were Vlasta Tyser, Vice President and Sally Beaton, Secretary. Miss Mildred Clark is the sponsor of this group. Included among its various activities for the year was a trip to the Adler Planetarium in Chicago on January 25. A bright future for the Math Club is promised for several years because of the large freshman enrollment in the fall. The Lab Assistants group is composed of chemistry, physics, and biology students, who willingly give their time during free periods and after school to perform the varied duties assigned to them. They must check equipment, take inventory, make solutions to be used in classes, and do any other odd jobs that turn up around our busy science labs. There are many advantages to this job, too. Spare time may be used for personal study and advancement of their own knowledge of processes and equipment Their work has proven to be an essential part of the life of our school as well as the aid it affords to the science instructors. 44 CAMERA CLUB Row One: D.

Helping to give informa- tion concerning office life, it presents a phase of business not included in class work. Miss Nellie Ann Frush is the advisor who aids the members in planning the programs and guides the meetings and other activities. Officers for this year are: Jean Henderson, President; Pearl Perlan, Vice-President, and Sue Haid, Secretary-Treasurer The only requirement for membership is the taking of at least one commercial subject, such as shorthand or typing. Activities this year have been programs given by the members, dem- onstrating commercial technique. The need for a modern group such as this is evidenced by the demand for secretaries and executives 46 Activities of the Art Club have been slightly revised this year. One new office was added, that of Publicity Director, and the participation of non-art class students has been stressed. These new members have shown a great deal of interest in art. The club has for its purpose the broadening of the art interests of each member. Activities have been varied, including sketch- ing, clay moulding, lectures by commercial artists, and trips to art schools. The Christmas party was another new feature. Miss Dickson is the capable faculty advisor. Officers for the year were: Ken Cook, Pres- ident; Donna Freed, Vice-President; Barbara Wendt, Secretary-Treasurer, and Pauline Wiker, Publicity Director.

Some of their jobs include helping to con- struct and set up scenery, tending the curtain, and taking care of the lighting effects To do all this these boys give up most of their free time during and after school Mr. Lage (alias the Chief), their supervisor, does a fine job, and much of the excellent scenery is due to his efforts. The Chief is con- sidered to be one of the gang by the boys and is well liked Larry Turk, veteran stage crew member, was made manager this year, and he and his staff contributed much to the spectacular success of the school’s dramatic presentations Our old movie crew has blossomed out with a new name and a definite organization, the Audio-Visual Aids Club The use of movies as a supplement to regular classroom work is now considered important by educators, and the members of this club handle the premieres ’, take care of the public address system, the juke box, and equipment at football and basketball games. As a reward for this service the boys ore given an emblem for the first year’s work, and later possibly a D” monogram There are fifteen boys in the club at present. All the work is done out of class and is superintended by Mr. William Cleveland, the sponsor. 47 LIBRARY CLUB Row One: A. Hippmann, A. Graham, R. Farr, F. Wag- ner, G. Phillips, M. Oest- mann.

They preside at the loan desk, check mail, order pamphlets, and distribute the books to their proper places. Under the direction of Miss Natzke and Mrs. Bohrnstedt these workers form one of the most valuable of our service clubs, and the duties they perform are indispensable The eleven members hold no meetings and have no officers, but annually they dine at the Spinning Wheel as reward for their contribu- tions to the remarkable efficiency of the library. Worthy note should be made here not only of the Library Club’s unending labors, but of all students who form the school staffs. Under the able direction of Miss Saunders. Miss Porter, and Miss Lemmel, our literary publication, the Trojan”, went to press again this year. It depicted the miracles of Aladdin’s wonderful lamp From this lamp came the many short stories, essays, and poems written by the students of our high school. Prizes were given for the best in each field, and also for the best cover design. Each article was impartially judged by the staff members, and the winning articles occupied a prominent position in the book Although it was not pos- sible to give prizes for every article, each had to be worthy of o prize to find its way out of the lamp. 48 In its eleventh year of existence the orchestra is better than ever before. Under the excellent direction of Mrs. Lucille Gill, the pattern of the past few years has been followed. Practices are held fourth period every day and some very entertaining arrangements are developed, which the audiences thoroughly appreciate The orchestra appeared at the All School and Senior Plays. At both of these events it provided music for the audiences before the performances and during the intermissions. The biggest event on the orchestral calendar was the Christmas program at which it played seasonal music, joining with the band and chorsues in some of it. A group composed of orchestra and band members assisted with the operetta. Because the orchestra is improving every year, we are all eagerly antic- ipating next years performances ORCHESTRA At piano: R. Holecek, N. Carnahan. Seated: T. Cavalli, B. Brown, J. Ralston, A.

Strains of martial music can be heard emanating from the football field in the early fall, when the band is rehearsing tricky formations to be performed at football games After the gridiron season is over the band continues lending support to the athletic department by playing at basketball games. Rehearsal on concert music starts after the last home football game This year scheduled band concerts were held on Feb. 2 and April 27 Members of the band won first place in a district contest, sponsored by the Illinois High School Activities Association at Joliet on April 19. A variety of selections was presented, including marches and excerpts from symphonies, operas, suites, and current musical shows. The band also appears at special assembly programs such as Armistice Day, Cap and Gown Day, Commencement and pep rallies Each spring it gives a full assembly concert, at which band awards are presented. The band D” is awarded to those playing in the high school band for the first year At the same time senior award pins are presented to the members who are graduating. We all appreciate the unceasing efforts put forth by our conductor, Mr. C. J Shoemaker 51 To those interested in singing, A Cappello membership is the goal of achievement equal to any other honor society. Members are care- fully selected from all choruses on the basis of ability and willingness to work, as well as outstanding musical talent The choir plays a very important part in the Armistice Day and Cap and Gown assemblies. Baccalaureate and Commencement end the year’s engagements. The annual Christmas programs see the entire music department com- bined to present a pageant of lasting re- membrance. A Cappella’s part of the Carnival stage show is always eagerly anticipated and this year, as usual, their audiences were not dis- appointed. This can be attributed to Mr. Pohlmann’s effective arrangements of the music as well as to his direction of the choir. A medley of three Jerome Kern songs was pre- sented at the 1946Carnival. The musical climax of the season is the oper- etta. This year another Gilbert and Sullivan selection, 'lolanthe ”, was presented. Eight members of the choir were in the regular cast, and the remaining members composed the chorus. Row One: P. Pottison, R. Daniel, B. Toon, P. Wiker, H. Arseny, B. Liska, J. Schroeder, I.

In previous years one part of our musical department was the Girls' A Cappella, but this year, with an addition of tenors and basses, the girls organization has been turned into a B’ A Cappella. The main function of this chorus is to prepare the students for the A Cappella choir. Singing the same songs as the advanced group and emphasizing the values of sight reading, ear training, voice production and harmony has helped to accomplish this purpose Their only public performance of the year was the Christmas Program, in which the choruses cooperated with the band and orchestra to provide memorable entertainment. The program began w.th complete silence, broken by carols coming from above and from one side When this was finished, more carols came from a different part of the building. After several songs had been sung in this manner, the girls proceeded through the audi- torium to the stage, singing the joyous words of Hark the Herald Angels Sing , and the program progressed We can be proud and appreciative of the music that Downers students give us on numerous occasions. 53 First Row: A.

April eleventh, bringing the operetta, has arrived. This year's presentation is Gilbert and Sullivan s lolanthe . The cast of eleven, under the direction of Mr. William Pohlmann and Miss Dorothy Porter, has achieved the glittering charm and enchanting beauty that its composers wished to be portrayed. The fantasy takes place in Arcady. Conflict between mortal beings and the spirit world dominates the usual Gilbert and Sullivan plot. An involved chain of events produces hilarious moments and allows for caustic comment on human foibles. The typical Gilbert and Sullivan climax is reached, and when the curtain rings down, we find that everyone is happy. In addi- tion the audience has enjoyed a wonderful performance.

The Y-Teens Club is affiliated with the Aurora branch of the Y.W.C A Last fall the club’s name was changed by the national board from Girl Reserves to Y-Teens. Though this was done to keep in step with the times ”, the club’s traditions and basic ideals are still being pre- served. Since this is the school's largest club, its division into two groups is necessary. The frosh- soph and junior-senior cabinets under the supervision of Miss Corinna Fronk and Miss Mildred Bales, respectively, plan the pro- grams. The club has four hobby groups: Charm, Craft, Social Service, and Music, which meet once a month in addition to the regular monthly meetings of the entire club. The girls join these hobby groups according to their own interests. Matin services are also held on the second Tuesday of each month from 7:45 to 8:00 o’clock. The yearly program was inaugurated with the Big-Sister Tea at which each old member of the club was assigned to a little sister, a possible future member. This tea served its purpose well by helping everyone get acquainted. Next on the agenda was the initiation of new members. This is the formal candlelight service at which Mrs Andersen reads An If For Girls Another formal program is presented at the close of the school year when the officers for the following year are installed. At this time rings are presented to six junior girls, and spoons to the six senior girls who were voted the most deserving members. Instead of having the usual Christmas program, the cabinet decided to sponsor a Christmas charity dance, which was held in the auditorium on the afternoon of December 20. The admission was $.10 per person, and the proceeds, over $25, were used to help give children at the Bensenville Orphanage a Merry Christmas . The Downers Grove Y-Teens played hostess to the surrounding chapters this year at a con- ference on February 15. Twenty-five girls from each chapter were invited. The conference opened with a social hour held in the library. Following this, the girls met in the auditorium for the morning speaker and opening session. Each girl was assigned to an interest group which met again after lunch. The afternoon session adjourned with a solemn candlelight ceremony. The scene of the annual Y-Teens-Hi-Y Party was a dude ranch. Everyone seemed to enjoy the entertainment, especially the male harem (in reality some senior fellows) and the steer roping contest. This year’s junior-senior officers were Betty Artus, President; Marcella Lewis, Vice-pres- ident; Beth Baxter, Secretary, Lois Larson, Treasurer,- Ruth Daniel, Music; Anna Mae Powers, Social; Marylee Clarke, Social Service; Marianne Wurtz, Blue Circle, Beverly Harris, Financial; Arlie Mae Finnegan, Publicity,- Dorothy Bourke, Matin. The freshman-sophomore cabinet included Martha Taggart, President; Vivian Gorski, Vice- president; Jean Mlyniec, Secretary, Barbara Anderson, Music; Nancy McPheeters, Social Service, Norma Lewis, Financial; Margaret Raddach, Social; and Barbara Greil, Publicity. Freshman representatives were Nancy Klein, Betty Powers, and Abigail Oleson. 56 ZJeenA Row One A Stephens, G. McGill, G. Bormonn, M. Ungrodt, N. Thrawl, V Oldfield, P. Jepsen, P. Doster, B.

Con- tinual tournaments in soccer, basketball, volley- ball, and other sports are observed as this is done under the auspices of G.A.A., a group that welds the girls into worthy action. G.A.A holds a challenge for all girls throughout their entire high school career. It awards those who deserve recognition and encompasses activities that round out a varied program. The chief aim of the Girls’ Athletic Associa- tion is to create an interest in sports and to promote a friendly, helpful attitude among the girls. This organization strives to build a healthy girlhood and to prepare its members for their future life These objectives are realized by encouraging good sportsmanship and leader- ship, which are essential qualities fora happy life. To maintain membership in the organization it is necessary for a girl to earn a minimum of 100 points in health and sports. The point sys- tem which was worked out has proven to be very successful. A girl may earn points in various ways, and a specified number of points is given for participating in games of basketball, base- ball, hockey, soccer, volleyball, and bowling. The girls also earn points for eating balanced meals, walking a mile each day, doing calisth- enics, and refereeing at games. By earning the required number of points, freshmen can win their numerals,- sophomores, their D’s juniors, their I s”, which is a state award; and the seniors receive the state emblem. 58 The club is fortunate to have Miss Margaret Fluent as its faculty advisor She is always willing to give cheerful assistance whenever needed. Miss Mabel Holle has offered much valuable advice and instruction this year and has become an important part of the organiza- tion. Billie Liska was the president this year who, with the cooperation of the G.A.A. Board, successfully guided the organization through another eventful year. The Board was elected by the members them- selves. The main function of this group was to plan the club’s varied activities. Whenever it was necessary, the board would hold a general business meeting at which numerous tasks were performed. One of these was planning for the club’s annual dance. It is at their spring dance that the G.A.A. cup is given to the senior girl who has shown outstanding leadership and interest in the organization. The winners of the various intramural tourna- ments also receive awards. All of these recogni- tions were given at the tea which is held at the end of the G.A.A season. The parents of the girls were invited to this affair. Downers Grove is fortunate in having such a noteworthy organization here in our school to further the fine ideals they have set up. We could not hope for a better example and the standards of the Girls’ Athletic Association be- come the standards of its members for life Q. Jl.Jl. Row One: L. Larson, C. Carter, M. Tuskey, B.

A record of school service con be attributed to the two Hi-Y groups in Downers High. Their creed, The purpose of Hi-Y is to create, maintain, and extend throughout the school and community higher standards of Christian char- acter, ” has been literally and actively put into effect. As on example, on March 11 two hund- red Gideon New Testaments were distributed in a special service by the Y-Teens and Hi-Y. The Gideon Businessmen’s International was very generous, and the success of the gifts was aided by these two organizations. Joint action by the boys and girls has long been a custom. Glen Ellyn on December 3, 1946, was the scene of the annual Youth Conference. The Downers Hi-Y Y-Teens dele- gations enjoyed a day of worship services, discussions, meeting noted speakers, and recrea- tion. The theme, Youth Today and Tomorrow ”, was presented by Mr. Paul Haris, Jr., a leading educator and international observer. At a later date the results of this conference were given by the delegations to their respective organiza- tions. Carnival time meant the annual Hi-Y horror show in the lockers. This year in addition added attractions drew huge crowds. A science show entitled Atoms in Action’’ demonstrated feats that only a chemist could explain. Magic from the Orient entitled curious spectators to view a talented magician. To top it off, a shadow play of melodrama thrilled the audience. Western” folk attended the dude ranch party sponsored cgain by Y-Teens and Hi-Y on February 22. Lassoing contests, horseback” races, dangerous outlaws, and a gen-u-wine male harem livened up a saga of the old West. Preceding this, a potluck was held at school at which the party was planned and the basis laid for other joint programs. Mr. Wayne Guthrie directs Frosh-Soph Hi-Y. Bill Stimart acted as President and was assisted by Willis Johnson, Vice-President; Ralph Lowe, Secretary; and Bob Drake, Treasurer. Twenty new boys of this group were inducted by veteran members toward the end of the first semester. They received official cards from the National Hi-Y. Junior-senior boys have Mr. Ralph Cressey as sponsor. Bob Aschbrenner as President heads the cabinet of Roger Ault, Vice-President; Dick Welch, Secretary,- and Byron Parry, Treasurer. Other committee heads and past officers complete the cabinets. Several officers with their sponsors attended the Illinois Y.M.C.A. Boys’ WorkConference in Chicago on February 9, 1947. At this meeting general plans for all boys' activities in the state of Illinois were formulated. Hi-Y members planned a year of various activities. Swimming and sport nights inter- changed with discussion meetings and speakers. In this manner higher standards of Christian character” have been extended to the school by these boys.

Mar- cella Lewis, Mickey Gerg, Mrs. Harry Lauchle, Mrs. Thomas Daniel, Dick Welch, Bob Asch- brenner, Mr C. B Absher, and Mr. A M Ault comprised the board. Dorothy Bourke and Bob Aschbrenner planned the program, while Kenton Stephens acted as moderator. Success was achieved because such questions as Can a Catholic-Protestant marriage expect to suc- ceed? ” and Should senior boys have marriage classes? received definite, conclusive answers At the final meeting Mr. J. Walter Scott, noted metallurgist, displayed pictures of the manufacturing process for common metals. As the year ended, opportunities were given to members to receive pins representing the office they had attained JR-SR. HI-Y Row One: Mr. Cressey, B. Asch brenner, I. Newberry, J. Scott, K.

High Life is the heart of year round publicity, for it keeps all school events before the student body. This newspaper has been published ap- proximately every two weeks for fourteen years An editorial board directs the journalistic efforts that produce this publication, and on achievement of top recognition from N S.P A describes the staff’s success. Junior journalism students mainly fulfill the reporting needs, while senior students determine the editorial policies An increase of members this year has resulted in greater efficiency Staff membership on our school newspaper is a coveted position to which many aspire, but to which only the able proceed. Seniority, applica- tion, and tryout are necessary to obtain a board position. Many activities lie behind the curtain of getting the paper out every other Friday. There are groups who gather news, solicit ads, write and rewrite the articles, type them, set them up, figure out the headlines, and still more perform various other duties. As soon os one issue is distributed, work on another is begun The reporters are given their assignments, and the ad staff starts its work. These stories and ads ore due on the following Tuesday or Wednesday, when they are typed and sent down to the Reporter office A few days later this copy comes back and is proof read. Once approved, it is returned, and High Life is distr.buted on Friday. Many worth while causes are promoted and campaigns carried on by High Life. This year the paper sponsored a Save the Children' campaign, which lasted several weeks. Money and clothing were collected to insure the wel- fare of children in a certain school district of Holland. For this purpose, too, High Life and Cauldron sponsored a school dance, the first that was ever held for charity in Downers Grove High School Early last fall several delegates attended a convention held by the Illinois State High School Press Association held at the University Illinois. Here they spent two days learning how other types of publications are produced The spotlight should now be thrown on Miss Grace Hennis, Miss Bette Lee Chessman, and Miss Velma Dickson, who very ably advised the board. Miss Hennis heads the editorial staff Miss Chessman the business staff, and Miss Dickson the art department The staff combines work with play to produce the 1947 Cauldron.

Despite the difficulties which occur in every publication of this kind, the 1947 Cauldron came out successfully, due to the capable supervision of the sponsor, Mr. E. L. Paine, the editor-in-chief, Kenton Stephens, and the as- sociate editors, Eugenia Ellsworth and Frances Wagner. Inaugurated by an assembly program on October 24, the sales campaign served to familiarize the students with the 1947 yearbook The staff, headed by the business managers, Jean Henderson and Jim Scott, rang up a grand total of 925 subscriptions, which surpasses that of other years 'The Theatre was finally chosen as a theme, after much debate. There were also many other questions, such as the cover and dedication, to be taken care of before work could be begun. The taking of senior, class, and club pictures started about the middle of September, and was finished in March. The art work shown in the book may be attributed to the talents of Pauline Wiker and Elaine Finnegan; Kenneth Cook and Bill Fallon are responsible for the technical details of publication The articles are the work of Ruth Daniel, Joan Reidy, and Carol Kuetemeyer, Marion Cannon and Charlene Johnson are the efficient typists who spent many a tedious hour in typing the copy in perfect form Barbara Porter and Ronald Grosch took care of the sports section quite well, and Cally Wagen- knecht and Al Thompson are the ones who did such a swell job on the senior section. Al also supervised the entire makeup. The informals can be credited to Roger Brown’s superb photography. On the whole, the members of the 1947 staff cooperated with each other remarkably well The reason for this could be that they had so much in common you know, headaches, dead- lines, writers' cramps, etc. All was not work, however, for the Cauldron and High Life staffs enjoyed several joint social functions. The two staffs also sponsored a semi-formal dance, Cupid Capers, on February 15, for the purpose of giving financial aid to a school in Oostburg, Holland. This was the first dance of its kind to be held in Downers Grove High School. Seven members of the Cauldron staff, ac- companied by Mr. Paine, attended the annual Illinois State High School Press Association's convention at the University of Illinois on Sep- tember 13 and 14. By participating in discus- sions and attending lectures, the delegates gathered many valuable ideas for the improve- ment of our yearbook. The staff wishes to thank the Root Studio, the Pontiac Engraving Company, Rogers Printing Company, and the Craftco Cover Company for their invaluable aid, because without their assistance the publication of this yearbook would not have been possible The staff also wishes to thank the faculty and students for their excellent cooperation during the prepara- tion of the Cauldron r.$ Participation in all extra-curricular activities was one of the mottoes of the Junior class this year. Many of their names appeared on the play, Carnival, and operetta programs, and they supported all the school’s clubs with over- whelming enthusiasm. Regular attendance at the parties and dances, sponsored by the Junior class as well as all the activities sponsored by other school groups, was another point in their favor. Sports, too, received a great deal of their attention. Junior class members ranked well up on the list of outstanding leaders in every field. High achievements in sports were equaled academically. Their glory was again recorded on the honor roll. The Junior class proved to the school that they knew how to pick their officers, who were elected as follows: President, Ed Derr,- Vice- president, Russell Tabbert; Secretary, Irene Formanek,- and Treasurer, Bob Extrom. Under the able leadership of these students the class rose to greater heights than ever before. With a record such as these juniors have made for themselves, it was without misgivings that the Senior class president, Herb Nadelhoffer, turned over his responsibilities, in the form of the traditional wooden spoon, to the Junior class president at the Senior Recognition Assembly. lunior Class officers: Ed Derr, Russell Tabbert, Bob :xtrom, Irene Formanek.

Under the training of Coach Stahl, an outstanding team was developed The squad journeyed to North Central Field- house in Naperville for practice from Christmas to the middle of March. Since many neighboring schools followed this plan, competitive practice was enjoyed by all. Downers showed strength by winning all dual meets. The defeated were La Grange, 57-37, Hinsdale, 61-34; Riverside, 72-23; Wheaton, 72-33,- and West Aurora, 73-32. In the Naper- ville Relays on March 15, Downers took fourth among strong competition. This spring saw the first baseball team in some years. Conference games were planned and official awards were given. Baseball and out- door track started too late for accurate tabula- tion of results here, but there was evidence to expect a successful season in both.

When spring is just around the corner,«a young man’s fancy turns to tennis At least that’s the belief of Mi Wayne Guthrie, Downers' tennis coach. Since Roger Ault was the only returning letterman, the squad started from scratch in order to organize for the season’s contests. Trojan racketeers” played several matches throughout the year with other confer- ence schools and others in this area The deciding conference meet is usually held on the same day as the conference track and golf meets. Outcome of this meet determines the final standings. Spirit was never lagging on this 1947 team to try to better the 7th place finish last year. Last fall a tennis tournament was held, which Alvin Fister won. This will be an annual event, and its purpose is to afford the boys an op- portunity to practice the game and perfect their skill The players in golf practice displayed spirit and ambition. Fourteen boys turned out for practice This year’s team, consisting of five veterans and an alternate, was composed of the four returning lettermen, Art Giddings, Herb Brei, Rich Ruthardt, and Ed Ward, plus Ted Brudmak and Gordon Swanson The squad practiced at the Ruth Lake Course, rain or shine. Practice consisted of a full eigh- teen holes, with a scheduled meet each week These matches were held with every team in the West Suburban Conference, and served to prepare our boys for the Conference Meet held during the last week of school. During the season, the team practiced on the best greens in the surrounding area Although he was not appointed coach until after the season was under way, Mr. Miller did a splendid job of keeping the enthusiasm and spirit of the boys high. Billie Lisko G.A.A. Cup _ „ Winner w« 9©! Miss Fluent's helpers. The coming of spring was highlighted by the G.A.A. dance held in the gym on the night of April 19th. When the couples arrived, the gym had been transformed into a beautiful southern garden. The walls were covered with roses in full bloom and in the center of the floor there was a high fountain with improvised water glistening under the lights. While the couples danced in the garden, the orchestra, set up on the veranda of the mansion complete with the typical high columns, provided the music. Toward the middle of the evening, the G.A A. cup was presented to the girl who has been the most outstanding in sports, leadership ability, and who has con- tributed much to the organization. This year the cup winner was Billie Liska. All G.A A members helped in some way towards preparation for the dance. For weeks ahead they were busy making paper roses to be used in the decoration of the gym. In order to attend the dance, each member must have been present at three business meetings, and the freshmen must have sold candy at two conference games. The dance was a great success, and the work put into it was appreciated by everyone who attended The chief spring sport in which G.A.A. members participated was baseball. When warm days arrived the girls rushed to the practice grounds after school, armed with bats and balls, to get in the much needed practice for the intramurals. The tournament was highly con- tested, and was characterized by the excellent playing of all par- ticipants. Other enthusiastic girls dug their tennis rackets from winter stor- age and made the tennis courts hot with action. These tournament games were also hard-fought and well-played. The girls spent the early days of spring, when it was still too cold to go outside, in the gym playing volley ball or doing gym- nastics. A variety of remarkable stunts was performed under the able coachings of Miss Fluent and Miss Holle. The junior and senior girls also learned the essentials of first aid and home nursing in classes held for those purposes. Thus the school year ended with all G.A.A. members improved in athletic ability, leadership qualities, and good sportmanship. Symmetry in gym. Bottom's up. Strike! Up and over. Oh, for a paddle!

Senior Clara Bartons”. 74 Tibetans, Americans, Englishmen, and Ger- mans,, all inhabit the Valley of the Blue Moon which is the locale of the senior class production, Lost Horizon , by James Hilton. The Thespians were under the able direction of Miss Jane Nowlin and were assisted by back- stage crews who were also from the senior class. Lost Horizon” is the story of Shangri La in the Tibetan mountains, where the inhabitants are blessed with eternal youth, wisdom, and happiness. This utopian existence naturally bewilders Englishmen who become stranded in the valley As the story progresses, the person- alities of the various characters are revealed, and we become absorbed in an interesting tale full of oriental mystery.

As the masks symbolize the theatre, the Golden Torch of Knowledge symbolizes scholar- ship, character, leadership, and activities the requirements for membership in the National Honor Society. DL W; innerS Boys who have maintained a scholastic average of B or better and who have earned a letter either through participation in sports or as athletic managers are automatically elected to National Athletic Scholarship Society. Each year fifteen per cent of the senior class is elected to coveted membership in this organ- ization. A list of all seniors in the upper third of their class is sent to each member of the faculty, and a vote is taken to determine who are to be members of National Honor . This honorary society stimulates ambition and effort among the students. It is truly a worthwhile goal The purpose of this honorary organization is to recognize students who have demonstrated exceptional athletic and academic abilities. A certificate of membership and the pin which represents the society are presented to each member at the Awards Assembly. This organization has reached its goal of improving scholarship among athletes or per- haps it has just proven scholarship and athletics often go together. 78 QUILL AND SCROLL Row One: D.

Of the Oscars! Each year awards are given to those members of the Cauldron and High Life staffs who have done outstanding work on their respective publications To qualify for Quill and Scroll a student must be in the upper third of his class; he must have done outstanding work in journalism, editing, business management or art, and he must also be recommended by his sponsor and approved by the National Executive Secretary. At the awards assembly in the spring these students are recognized by being given a pin to show their membership in this honorary society. Members also receive a year's subscription to the Quill and Scroll magazine To one senior girl each year goes the honor of the D.A.R. award. Three girls are elected by the senior class on the basis of leadership, dependability, patriot- ism, and service. The faculty then chooses one girl in whom these qualities are best exemplified. This year the girls are Billie Liska, Ruth Daniel, and Dorothy Bourke Dorothy is the final winner, and the one to whom the award is given. All three girls are members of A Cappella and National Honor Society Dorothy is the editor of High Life, and has been active in Y- Teens and G A A Billie is the president of G A A , and Ruth is a member of the Cauldron staff. How con we express what Downers Grove High School means to us? We have spent some of the happiest years of our lives here, and have acquired standards and ideals which will always remain with us. The opening performance in September, 1943 showed us the theme and the activities of all the players. In the second act, we were given some of the important parts in Student Council and clubs. As the third act progressed we became veteran performers. In the climax of the fourth act, our senior year, we fully upheld the standards and traditions in athletics, extra- curricular activities, and scholarship. The class of 47” played an important part when they elected their main characters, the senior officers. We chose Herbert Nadelhoffer as President, Lawrence Mizener as Vice-President, Lois Larson as Secretary, and Jean Henderson as Treasurer. We are sorry to say that we lost one of our out tanding members at the end of our second year, when Donald Lake, an active debate member, athletic manager, and band player was taken from us. His memory, however, will always be with us as part of our play. After the last scene with Senior Recognition, Baccalaureate, Class Night, and finally graduation, the curtain falls and we proceed out into the world for our next performance. H. Nadelhoffer L.
