1950 CAULDRON Published by the Senior Class DOWNERS GROVE COMMUNITY HIGH SCHOOL June 1950 Downers Grove, Illinois Volume 31 BE IT RESOLVED • • • Whereas, we have put on our shoes as freshmen and have found them much too large; and PAGES 8-9 Whereas, we have struggled through ACADEMICS and have grown a little bit; and PAGES 30-31 Whereas, we have danced through our extra-curricular ACTIVITIES and have grown some more; then PAGES 72-73 Be it resolved that as SENIORS we have finally grown into our shoes and find that they fit us. CHOOSING SHOES If a man's fortune does not lit him, it is like the shoe in the story; if too large it trips him up, if too small it pinches him. As the class ol 1950 finishes the last year of its high school life, it presents this, the 1950 Cauldron, as a record of the achievements of DGHS students during the past year. As freshmen we felt helpless in our oversize shoes, but each succeeding year we have grown a little more. Now as we receive our diplomas, most of us find that our shoes fit us well, yet, to some of us they are a little tight, for even now we are ready to step into another larger pair. During our tenure at DGHS. a wide variety of shoes have been put at our disposal. Many of the fellows and girls have found a fine fit in the heavy protective athletic shoes, while others preferred the colorful shoes of the stage, the versatile shoes of the pen, or the slippers of song and dance. A few of us have found the Roman sandals or Spanish huaraches well suited to our taste. Last but not least, all of us have worn the narrow businesslike shoes of schol- ars, although many of us have felt their pinch at times. As we, the class of 50'', leave DGHS we are gratified to see that the class of 51” is ready to fill our shoes and carry on where we left off PERSPECTIVE ON LEARNING A SYMBOL AND A WAY A PERFECT FIT MISS LETTIE JUDKINS As good ncrfured a soul as e'er trod on a shoe of leather. Miquel de Cervantes Who fills one of the most important pair of shoes on the faculty? We are sure that administration, faculty, and students alike would say Miss Lettie Judkins. Miss Judkins has been in DGHS for eighteen years, and, aside from teaching commercial subjects, has been very active in school activities. Unknown to many, she has been treasurer of the Activity Fund for the past seven years. In this capacity she has charge of all extra-curricu lar activity finances and handles, very capably, the activity plan. She is well known for her ever present enthusiasm and co-operation Merry eyes and a cheerful smile are ample proof of her warm personality. With appreciation and admiration we, the 1950 Caul- dron staff, dedicate this Cauldron to Miss Lettie Judkins. THE TIME — 5 p. m. THE PLACE — 210 THE PERSON — Miss Judkins 4 7 ► ACADEMICS JACK ELZAY, D.Ed. Coordinating Superintendent Downers Grove Community High School is fortunate in having such a fine ad- ministrative staff. Its competence and abil- ity go far toward helping us find the right shoes in which to step forward. This year Mr. Jack Elzay joined our school administration as Superintendent of Schools and, since, has become well known to students, faculty, and townspeople for his friendliness and interest in community, as well as school activities. Mr. Elzay attended Ohio Northern Uni- versity where he received his B.A. and B.S. degrees. He earned his M.A. degree at Columbia University and his D.Ed. at Indi- ana University. MASTER BOARD OF EDUCATION Mr. Erllmeyer (President), Mr. Her- rick (Secretary). Mrs. Goodell, Mr. Groat, Mr. Elzay. Mr. Lewis. ◄ 10 ► The job of organizing our curriculum and seeing that it runs smoothly falls to Principal Clarence Johnson, Assistant Prin- cipal Charlotte Andersen, and Mr. Wayne Guthrie, Dean of Boys. They also direct the student guidance program. Their lively enthusiasm and never end- ing interest in the students and their activi- ties make Mr. Johnson, Mrs. Andersen, and Mr. Guthrie three of the most well liked people in our school. Keen interest is shown by the members of the Board of Education in all phases of the school program. This group approves the policies that guide our high school program. CLARENCE W. JOHNSON.

Although her assistants kept track of students who came to the clinic, and administered to minor ailments, Miss Beck handled all suspected broken bones, sprains, or serious pains CLINIC M. Reynolds.

This and the annual Christmas program were sponsored by P.-T.A. Foremost on F T.A s agenda this year were discus- sions of extra-curricular activities led by their faculty ad- visors. Participation in the Better Films Council was also included. PARENT- TEACHERS 17 ► ENGINEERS Ever break a bottle of ink or unable to get your locker open? Then you've known how capable the cus- todians are! Headed by Mr. Leverenz, these men perform the 1001 jobs that keep our school in working order. They do everything fiom heating the school and fixing cracks in ceilings to waxing the gym floor and replacing burned out light bulbs. Shoveling walks in winter, mowing lawns in summer, and keeping the campus neat and attractive are among their duties, too. CUSTODIANS Row 1: E. Rosinc. Mr. Staffeldt. Mr. Leverenz, B. Rosine.

U 171-01-1X1 Each day the cafeteria ladies satisfy enormous stu- dent appetites by preparing nutritious lunches which are filling and delicious. To top it all, the food is varied and mighty reasonable! — Our hats are off to you, Cafeteria Ladies! Good! « 18 t FROM BOOTIES... Freshmen don their first year shoes. In shades of pink and blue. And wear them, oh so proudly. For everyone to viev . To the administration, faculty, and upperclassmen, this year's Freshman class is no different from any other. But to the freshmen it is the most athletic, the most scholarly, by far the most outstanding class of its day! Entering high school, these freshmen v ere about as bewildered and dazed as most freshmen are. But soon they began to feel more at home in DGHS At the Freshman party and the All-School dance they took advantage of their chance to meet other students. When the frosh found we had clubs and athletics in school there was a general rush as they joined them. They soon became well- known for their pep and enthusiasm in all activities. The greenies” weren't very green when it came to the academic side of school life. Their grades oroved that they certainly knew how to study. With these abilities the freshmen claim to be an outstanding class - let's see how they turn out in three years. Mr. Chairman, I nominale . . . Latin and the Frosh mingle.

STUDENT SENATORS The nineteenth session of the student council laid down the gavel this spring with a year of eventful projects behind it. The coun- cil's officers were: president, John Walsh; vice- president, Bob Nicholas; secretary, Karen Pip- penger; treasurer, Chuck Gates. Throughout the year council members acted as hosts and hostesses at P.-T.A. Open House for the parents, College Night, and the Career Conference. They helped the freshies to get acquainted with each other by sponsor- ing the Freshman Party. The Senior Social and the annual council picnic were another pair of their projects. The sale of purple and white beanies and Trojan decals by council members helped to supplement their treasury. Too, they published students directories for the first time. Several members of the council had the opportunity of attending the West Suburban League Conference and the District meeting held in La Grange. Pete Gano and June Kuetemeyer, council members, designed a school emblem and flag which will be initiated next year as official school insignia. Security Council. Proposal Considered. 4 22 TO OXFORDS • • • The Sophomore oxfords pinch a bit And blister toe and heel, But they go on quite bravely Hiding all they feel. Swing your partner and ala- mande left, Yippee, were some of the sounds heard at the Sopho- more party, a square dance. This is just a sample of the sophomore class's lively interest in all school activities. Their school spirit and good sportsmanship as freshmen and, won, as sophomores have shown this class to be most out- standing. Scholastically speaking the sophs have maintained a high av- erage and have always claimed a good share of the honor roll. To prove themselves well rounded DGHS’ers, the Sophomore class participated heavily in athlet- ics and clubs. The lure of the footlights pur- sued many 10th graders who offered much competition to the other classes when the All-School play and Carnival came around. DGHS had better keep an eye on this class, for when they become juniors next year, things are really going to hum! Go that 'a way, young man. “Is that really Chicago?

Before the AVA'ers v ere allowed to run the pro- jector or handle any other equipment, they hed to under- go a period of training in the fundamental operations of these machines. Mr. Cleveland, their sponsor, instructed the beginners. AUDIO VISUAL AIDS i 26 ► TO LOAFERS • • • As Juniors with more ease they fit, Though scarred the leather grows. There are no more blisters now And room lor all their toes. This year's juniors shov ed what interest and participation in academ- ics, as well as in extra-curricular activities, can do for a class. The honor roll never lacked junior mem- bers, but neither did sports or the clubs. Junior girls helped to enlarge the ranks of G.A.A. and Y-Teens while the boys were busy adding to the membership of Hi-Y. Carnival, the All-School Play, sports, and the other clubs called forth many 11th graders. Prom and the University of Illi- nois tests were two of the more out- standing events of the junior year. The tests were given early in the first semester to measure the junior's scholastic abilities. Prom, sponsored by the Junior class, proved to be new and exciting, and much more fun than the tests. The juniors step forward into the senior year with the hope that junior classes to come will maintain their vast interest and participation in the academic and social life of DGHS. Class Officers: R.

The board of editors leaned back for a short breather before starting on the coming issue. Meanwhile students and faculty v ere turn ing to their favorite oaqes with practiced hand Most of the boys flipped over to the sports articles on the back page. Girls turned to the feature articles always situated on second page where they found The Line” by JoVe and Dates and Doings.” All scanned the first page for news of importance. A conference in 209 began it all. The eleven members of the board of directors dis- cussed the coming issue and assigned stories to reporters who immediately began to cover their beats.” As soon as the stories were handed in they v ere sorted out and those v ith most nev s value v ere corrected and given heads.” The completed stories v ere then taken down to the Reporter office where galley proofs v ere run off and returned to 209 Nov the long and tedious job of proof reeding the copy began. After its completion the copy v as pasted into a dummy and once again jour- neyed to the Reporter office where it was printed in the final form. Members of High Life then delivered the High Lifes to their sub scribers. Financial aid for this publication came through advertisements solicited by the ad staff under the direction of Miss Chessman. HIGH LIFE BOARD Seated: J. Boning. V. Fox. J. Evorott. B. Geroy. D.

Two big issues of the new, better Trojan for only 75c was the theme-song of the Trojan busi- ness staff this year. The first issue was re- leased during February and the second in May. Publishing winning photographs of the annual Camera Club contest was inaugurated this year in the winter issue. Members of the art department competed for the cover design to be used in the two magazines. The staff for the winter issue was headed by Mary Lou McGowan, editor-in-chief, who was assisted by Gene Stimart, literary editor, and Jean Lambie, art editor. Pat Herman took care of the monetary matters as business man- ager. The second, or spring, issue of Trojan had Grierson Giddings as editor-in-chief, June Kuetemeyer as literary editor, and Jean Lambie as art editor again. The business staff was headed by Bill Boon. The advisors were Velma Dickson and Ted Repsholdt. TROIAN BOARD J. Armstrong. J. Kuetemeyer, J. Zitt. Mr. Repsholdt. G. Sti- mart. G. Giddings. J. Lambic.

The officers: Joan Flem- ming, president; Grace Laning, vice-president; Bob Schaffner, secretary-treasurer; planned programs that included a typing contest and talks by alumni and representatives from vari- ous businesses.

Few students who used the library could fail to have some contact with members of the Library Club. Although this v as a service club v ith no regular meetings or officers, its volunteer members offered invaluable service to the school. The members had four particular jobs which they performed. Duties at the loan desk and taking care of incoming and outgoing books and magazines were the best known of their duties. Library assistants also sorted mail, stamped new books, returned books to the shelves, and sent for pamphlets needed for reference v ork. There were no special av ards given to members of the Library Club, but at the end of the year they were entertained at the Spin- ning Wheel with money gained from fines. « 36 COMPUTERS COMPOUNDERS Can you prove that one equals two? Pretty hard isn't it? Well, that's one of the problems the Math Club wrestled with this year. The object of Math Club was to discuss and solve mathematical problems that don't usually arise in classroom study. Principles of the slide rule and laws of chance were included in the mathematical intricacies investigated by members. Field trips to Northv estern University Technological Building, the Planetarium, and the Museum of Science and Industry were also taken this year. Meetings were conducted by the ©resi- dent, Bonnie Woolverton, with the aid of Da vid Reed, vice-president, and Arlene Coffman, secretary-treasurer. Miss Clark was the club's sponsor. Amid the fascinating study of the mysteri ous molecules and agile atoms there aopeared the practical down-to-earth study of purified water In order to make this study chemistry students had to have purified water So, nat urally, the job of purifying the v ater fell to the eight lab assistants who performed various jobs aiding the science department. Other duties were checking equipment in and out, taking inventory, keeping the lab in order, making solutions to be used in class, and other odd jobs. One hour a day was usually spent work ing in the lab in addition to other classes in the science department. For this time in the laboratory the assistants gave up either study halls or time before and after school. MATH CLUB LAB ASSISTANTS Row 1: B. Woolvorlon, J. Bradley. C. Kunkel. V. Splettcr. Mr. Holt.

Y-TEENS To help incoming freshmen girls start high school life on the right foot was the first duty in the fall for Y Teens’ members The Big end Little Sister Tea gave the freshmen a chance to get acquainted with the club and its mem bers. Then on October fifth new members celebrated their initiation at the cnnual Y- Teens' supper Something new was added to the Y-Teem;' program in the form of a Father-Daughter Night. Square dancing for the girls and their fathers provided the entertainment. After a lapse of four years the Y-Teens were, again, hostesses at the annual Y-Teens Conference which v as held at DGHS. on fan uary 14. Y-Teens members from Glenbard Hinsdale, Aurora, Elgin, Wheaton, and Naper ville attended. Second semester incorporated two impor- tant annual events: the Hi-Y, Y-Teens Party and the Style Show.

The play. ‘Death Takes a Holiday.' directed by Mrs. Rigmore Katel, was one of the most suc- cessful ever presented at our high school The drama was at first very dubiously received by all. for there v ere few who believed that directress Katel could find a cast able to portray the characters with understand- ing. Such doubts were tossed aside after the first performance. Without the co-operation of the stage crew the play could not have been presented as effectively as it was.

A chance to put on the gay, glamorous slippers of the stage is opened to many stu- dents each year by the Carnival Stage Show. Long after these shoes have been laid away, the Carnival and its stage show remain a vivid memory. This year's Carnival was no excep- tion. Our teachers presented a beauty contest, and Delores Swenson and Marilyn Unger were crowned Carnival queen and princess at the Debate Club show. Shrieks of people visiting “Frankenstein's School,” the Hi-Y Horror Show, could be heard throughout the building. Also adding to the noise and gaiety were the '49ers Pony Ex- press messengers, who dashed about the halls delivering telegrams. ◄ 46 ► FIDDLE-FADDLE ORCHESTRA PARENTS BOARD Row 1: Mrs. McMillan.

The sixteen violins, four violas, three cellos, two basses, and one piano of the orchestra could, and did, make a lot of noise, but it was the kind of noise everybody enjoyed, thanks to the people who played the instruments. Our high school orchestra is rapidly be- coming one of the more outstanding organiza- tions in school. This year, under the capable guidance of its director. Miss Mary Goddard, the orchestra gave two concerts with the grade school orchestra. In addition, there was a sep- arate high school recital with members partici- pating in solos and ensembles The orches- tra also played for school plays. ORCHESTRA Row 1: J. Zitt. S. Milnes. A.

Parades, assemblies, concerts, and contests were in- cluded in the yearly agenda of our high school band which was under the direction of Mr. Shoemaker throughout the year. First came the football season which meant marches and formations for band members as well as the proper music. Their efforts aided the enthusiasm and good feeling between the opposing schools. I Students and faculty gathered in the audi- torium on Armistice Day to hear the band and A Cappella perform in tribute to those who died in the World War. At the Band Awards assembly in the spring, awards were given to deserving mem- bers. Special pins were given to seniors who had been with the band their four years in high school. The band closed the year with music at Senior Recognition Assembly and Commence- ment. BAND Row 1: R. Wilson, D. Macdonncll, B. Weis. S. Reeve. D. Rice. D. Plumb. D. Koehler. K. Moran. I. Johnson. J.

And sopranos, re- member. it's C sharp instead of C natural!” was a phrase well known to every member of Mr. Pohlmann's choruses. Members of Mixed Chorus studied harmony, cor- rect voice projection, and worked to improve their sing- ing by perfecting their sight-reading ability and pitch. B” A Cappella prepared to put on the shoes of A Cappella by practicing the same music and following the same general course of study as A Cappella. Music at the Carnival and the Armistice Day pro- gram was presented by the A Cappella during the school year. In place of an operetta, A Cappella again pre- sented a Spring Concert. The choir finished its yearly program with music at Baccalaureate, the Cap and Gown Assembly, and Commencement. The three choruses combined with the rest of the music department to present the Christmas program. Mr. Pohlmann Director ◄ 50 ► SHARPS AND FLATS B A CAPPELLA Row 1: N. Pletch. P. Witbrodt.

T '.Ojn a ojva A-1 Mary Ellen Rekstad. Ann Genuske Heads ol Sports One ol the biggest Jobs in G.A.A. fell to the senior head of sports. Mary Ellen Rekstad. and the junior head of sports, Ann Genuske. They planned and helped direct all G.A.A. athletic activities throughout the year. SPORTING A chance for the qirls of DGHS to match their wits and durability on the field and the floor was provided by G.A.A. tournaments in soccer, basketball, volleyball, and baseball. Last fall the senior girls captured the cham- pionship in soccer. The tournament was played in a single elimination contest which made it necessary for them to v in with a no game loss. Basketball had the toughest competition of all. The final game, between seniors and sophomores, unfolded a victory and the cham- pionship for the sophs. Volleyball filled the time between basket- ball and baseball, which ended the spring events. Mary Ellen Rekstad, senior head of sports, authorized the tourneys of soccer and basket- ball. Ann Genuske, junior head of sports, fol- lowed in Mary's footsteps as she directed the spring events. Winners of ihe soccer trourney. Basketball champs. Stunt night. Our basket shooting team. i 54 ► Temperature 98.6 . Here's how you do it. A sample of modern dancing. Battle ol the bulge. Roll call I Suit inspection1 It would be hard to find a girl in DGHS who has escaped these summons. During the fall, soccer was the main sport while in the winter, basketball and volleyball took the lead. Relays and setting up exercises also took place In the spring, baseball and other outdoor games were played. To make sports more competitive teams were chosen and tournaments played. A new addition to the gym program was modern dancing under the direction of Mrs Haberman with Mrs Rusche as the pianist. During the second semester the juniors took the required first aid course, and the se niors a home nursing course The juniors learned how to make different kinds of band- ages and splints, and how to distinguish be tween various symptoms Meanwhile, the se niors learned the duties of a nurse in the home ACTIVITIES Every yea: one senior girl is awarded the G.A.A. cup. To qualify for this honor, she must be outstanding in athletics and leadership, a member of G.A.A.. and have given much time to G.A.A. activities. Mary Ellen Rekstad won the cup this year. Mary Ellen Rekstad Cup Winner AMATEUR AMAZONS Pluto's Playhouse, G.A.A. Playday, was held at Downers for the first time in many years. Six schools participated in making it a success. This began an eventful year for our G.A.A. Initiation for new members was held November 2 and consisted of a formal ceremony held in the audi- torium, followed by a not-so-formal excursion through the girls' locker rooms. Probably the most important event on the G.A.A. calendar was the spring semi-formal dance on April 22. Shirley Heberling, senior social chairman, and her com- mittees transformed the gym into a Stairway to the Stars for members and their dates. Block that kick! Hit it back! Str-i-ke three! Refreshing Right through? i 56 ► ALL HERE? Let's have a Yea Downers' and spell it out All here?'' and with a Let's cheer!” from the crowd the cheerleaders went into action. They led cheers at every football and basketball game DG played. Leading yells wasn't the only activity of our cheer- leaders for they drew up a constitution which v as ap- proved by their sponsors, the members of sudent coun- cil. VARSITY CHEERLEADERS L.

From cellar to garret in one short year! As the 1949 football season opened, few people had any idea of the honors our team would win. Last year's team had won only one game and finished last in the conference standings. When the boys came to the first practice, Mr. Taylo and Mr. Stahl saw that they meant business and were out to win. The coaches spent many extra hours practicing and teach ing the boys all the tricks of the trade. When the official practice period was over, the back- field would stay and run through plays to sharpen their timing, and the linemen would run a few extra laps around the field Ken Roak was invaluable as a morale builder. On the buses to and from the games. Ken led the team in cheering. The coaches' biggest worry was the scarcity of guards and tackles. Downers had only one team that they could field, and any injuries were deeply felt. Bob Nicholas dislocated his shoulder in one of the early games and saw only limited action from then on. Jerry Bendel and Don Strum both had knee injuries which kept them out of action, and John Cannon broke his collarbone. The townspeople backed the team to the hilt. After the season ended, several of the clubs in town gave testimonial dinners for the team. The Lion's club also promised to donate a new scoreboard for the football field next year. 4 59 ► IN ACTION • • Downers 14—Leyden 0 Downers went to Leyden with a team of un- known power, and won revenge for last year's 27-0 loss. The best part of the game was the teamwork which was evident throughout the entire game. Downers 6—Naperville 14 Naperville won, but it was a contest to the bitter end. Downers played a very good game, and even though Ted Hamilton was a stand- out on both offence and defense, we lost. Downers 21—Hinsdale 19 Downers got the ‘ bucket'' back in one of the most thrilling games of the season. Everytime Hinsdale made a touchdown, Downers marched back to tie the score and add the extra point. Downers 7—Maine 6 In another thriller, Downers won when Ken Russell blocked Maine's try for a point-after- touchdown. Borman dominated the play of the entire game. Downers 20—Riverside 13 With Herb Borman playing another outstand- ing game, Downers took over undisputed first place in the conference. Doolittle scored twice and Gray once while Borman converted twice. Downers 7—La Grange 13 With Jack Strouse sidelined because of an in- jured knee, and a bad case of fumbles, Downers couldn't get started and even though they were on the L.T. goal line as the game ended, it wasn't enough to beat the La Grange jinx. Downers 13—Glenbard 0 Joe Gray and Dave Doolittle both played stand- out games and the combination was too much for Glenbard's team. Downers 33—York 13 The Trojans were out to show everybody that they were real champions, and they smothered York completely. Chuck Gates scored three touchdowns, and with Dave Doolittle and Bill Boon playing good games we had an unbeat- able combination. ◄ 60 ► VARSITY FOOTBALL Top. Clockwise: J. Strousc. J. Courtnoy, J.

Herb was an All-State selection, too. Ken Roak at guard. Sonny Aleccia at guard, and Bill Boon at quarterback were all second team selections « 61 ► CONFERENCE CHAMPS PONY GRIDMEN With only two returning numeral winners. Downers' frosh-soph team gained their ex- perience the hard way, losing their first four games. In the opener against Leyden, Downers was swamped by a 24-0 score. Then, against Naperville, they lost again, and in the con- ference they lost to Hinsdale 7-6. They reached their lowest ebb just before the Riverside game, but to the surprise of all they beat Riverside 13-0 and looked very good. The next week they were soundly trounced by a big La Grange team, 33-7. They bounded back to win against Glen- bard. however, 7-6 in one of their best ball games of the season. The score was 7-6 at the half, and with Howie McLees playing a spectacular game, Downers managed to keep their one point lead. The boys think that next year's squad will do even better under the able coaching of coaches Drumm and Repsholdt.

This year, our squad of thirty-four boys had both depth and good runners. The result—a cham- pionship team. The squad was reenforced with expe- rienced seniors like Paul Frey, Bruce Black, and John Greil. Two of our best runners. Day ton Duehr and Bob Grove, were seniors who tried out for the first time this year. We also had Bob Gould and Dick Pepich on our first string. For a long time DGHS has hoped for a championship team. This year s enthusiastic squad fulfilled our wishes. In the fall our chances looked good, but that doesn't always mean anything. There was no doubt that we had a topnotch team as soon as the town saw our harriers in action. During the cross country season we easily rolled over Hinsdale. Glen- bard, York, Maine, La Grange, and Riverside with no losses or ties. After these meets came the all-important combined District and West Suburban Con ference tilt. Our squad was in perfect shape, and they repeated their earlier successes. Two more first place trophies were added to our al- ready crowded trophy case. This marked the lirst time that DGHS had taken a first in either one of the two events. Winning first place at district gave us the chance to send our entire first string down state. At Champaign, where the best of the state's talent goes, we took third place as a team—a good climax to the most successful season the DGHS cross country squad has ever had ◄ 63 ► VARSITY BASKETBALL Row 1: J.

KUCERA’S With the combined efforts of four returning lettermen and several boys from the frosh-soph squad, Downers managed to win the regional championship again, but were able only to fin- ish fifth in the conference. Downers started the season with an im- pressive victory over Naperville but lost to Argo in a low scoring game. Maine was the first conference foe and things looked good un- til La Grange tied the anchor to our champion- ship hopes. In the annual tournament at Normal. Downers captured third place after losing a close game to Marmion. Downers started the second round of con- ference play with a victory over Maine but ended up with a two win and four loss record. Jim Dutcher placed second in conference scor- ing, one point behind Jarm of R-B, and Bill Green placed third. When the All-Conference teams were selected, both Green at guard and Dutcher at center were first team selections. In the regional meet we beat Immaculate Conception of York, squeezed by Glenbard, and drubbed Hinsdale. In the sectional we beat Elgin on a last minute basket, but the time keepers ruled the basket no good and Elgin won in the overtime. They placed third in the state tourney. ◄ 64 ► VARSITY BASKETBALL In Corners: J. Dutcher. B. Green. In Arch: J. Courtney, T. Hamilton. D. Doolittle. I. Strouse. H. Borman. E. Kubis. C. Aleccia.

All during the season, Mr. Adams and Mr. Drumm kept experimenting, till at last they found a winning combination. The fact that this was a winning combination can be at- tested by the fact that they won more games in the second round of play than they did in the first. The highlight of the season was the Wheaton frosh-soph meet, which was held af- ter the regular season ended. Downers beat both Marmion and Wheaton, but lost by one point in the finals to Argo.

The freshmen were Keith Ebersold, Bill Fiedler, Dave Lauchle, Carl McCollum, and Bill Howell. Lake, Lauchle and Goding were cen- ters; Williams, McCollum, and Hibner were for- wards; and Boltz, Becvarik, Howell, Fiedler, and Ebersold were guards. McCollum, with his left-handed set shots, was the most consistent scorer on the team. Boyce Williams, Eddie Becvarik, and Jim Lake all showed promise of aiding next year's Var- sity team. ◄ 66 ► MERCURYMEN INDOOR TRACK Row 1: R. Lacey. D. Pepich, K. Hodge. I. Pasakarnis. D. Kinter. D.

Lots of material but no outstanding abili- ties, said Coach Jim Stahl at the beginning of the 1950 indoor season. If dual meet scores meant anything, the track team turned out quite a bit better than Mr. Stahl and Mr. Rid- dlesberger had ever hoped. The boys sur- passed all their opposing tov ns, with anything from ten to forty points. Scores were as fol- lows: Hinsdale 41. DGHS 52; Riverside 28, DGHS 67; Elgin 28. DGHS 66; West Aurora 23. DGHS 67. The coaches worked both dash-men and distance-men pretty hard during the season. Boys such as Jim Spalding, Joe Gray, Dayton Duehr, Bob Grove, Dick Pepich, Don Strum, Frank Fritsch, Bruce Black, and Bob Gould did a great deal to make these two fields stay prominent. The high jump was commanded by Chuck Ely and Joe Pasakarnis. Rich Es- posito, Ken Roak, and Jack Strouse did v ell in the shot put. Everyone was glad to see Bob Lea return from Minnesota to give other schools tough competition in the pole vault Returning lettermen we could always count on were: Sonny Aleccia and Joe Allen, high hur- dles; Bob Cox. broad jump, Tom Moore and Bill Owens, pole vaulters. At the Naperville relays Downers didn't do as well as expected although we did place third, losing second place by three points The tracksters then began preparing for the other relay meets at Oak Park and Wheaton Much stiffer competition was met in these relays, but the boys maintained their fine reputation. 4 67 ► Mr. Stahl's 1949 outdoor trackmen started the spring season in glory by capturing first place in the annual Little Four meet. How- ever. the Wheaton Relays found our track- sters at the bottom of the list, placing sixth. Our only important places were held by Russ Ag- new, receiving two seconds both discus and shot put. and the high hurdle relay men, who also took second. Better luck was encountered when D.G. took third in the district at Batavia. Russ Agnew smashed the old discus record when he threw the disc 151' 11 1 8 . The team reached its zenith in the middle of the season with a second place in the Du Page County meet as Naperville and York tied for first. Steve Burns won the 880 yard run. Mr. Stahl accompanied three of our track- men downstate. They were: Russ Agnew, dis- cus; Jerry Simmons, pole vaulter, and Bob Grove, half-miler. The unpredictable season closed with Downers placing 5th in the West Suburban Conference and Bob Grove taking first in the half mile. OLYMPIANS 1949 OUTDOOR TRACK Row 1: Mr. Riddlesberger, J.

PLAY BALL! 1949 CONFERENCE STANDINGS La Grange 1 Riverside-Brooklield 1 Maine 3 Downers Grove 4 York 4 Glenbard 6 Hinsdale 7 In spring a young man's fancy turns to thoughts of baseball, so early in March Coach Kucera took some of his potential pitchers and catchers and started conditioning them in the gym. With no veteran pitchers, and Bill Boon the only experienced catcher. Mr. Kucera had to start from scratch. The first game of the season was against R-B and Downers lost 12-0 when Tomecek pitched no-hit ball. After this defeat the Tro- jans pulled themselves together and ended up with a conference record of 5 wins and 7 losses. In the District tourney Downers beat York in two extra-innings but lost to Glenbard in their second game. 4 69 ► SPIKES AND SNEAKERS The 1950 divot diggers found plenty of competition in the conference, and a lot of spirit within the team itself. The yearly battle for positions was headed by the three returning lettermen: Crary Dahl, Gordon Swanson, and George Northcott. Two numeral winners from last year's frosh-soph training ground, Ronnie Shuk and Bob Boltz, also showed up well. Practice started early in March with Mr. Repsholdt supervising practice on the indoor driving range which the Trojan Fathers had bought for the golf team. The conference, dis- trict, and frosh-soph meets highlighted the season. This year's tennis team, bolstered with the addition of a new coach, Mr Harris, and a veteran from Glenbard High School, Dick Ma- gee, gave promise of one of the best seasons in tennis yet seen in Downers. The mainstays of the team were the three returning lettermen: Marvin Koehler, Henry Besser, and Rae Ten- nery. An outstanding rookie was Eddie Pechous, the winner of the c nnual fall tourna- ment. The more promising boys began practice in the gym early in the spring, but v hen weather permitted outdoor work, the rest of the candidates out for tennis could be seen on the courts.

In the year of our Lord, nineteen hundred and forty-nine, Mr. E. L. Paine smilingly ush- ered in a group of somewhat bewildered stu- dents. helped them into their shoes, and on their way to the publication of the 1950 Cauldron. This year's program, under the direction of our editor-in-chief, Sally Armstrong, and her assistant, Bert Radebaugh, began with the an- nual assembly which served to acquaint the student body with the yearbook. Then our business managers, Shirley Meyers and Joe Allen, went into action. Soon 900 Cauldrons were sold. Lois Geffert and Sonia Aamot began the rough drawings for the art work while make-up editors Bonnie Erffmeyer and Lee Courchene discovered the uses of rubber cement and cut- ters. Pat Jenkins, our photographer, v ith cam- era in hand and a sharp eye peeled for good informal picture material, began roaming the halls. Priscilla Lewis, Barbara Rohkar, Delores Swenson, Carol Tilly, Jerry Hage, and Connie Lockhart of the literary staff soon started writ- ing copy. Gale Doss and Pug Reynolds, our senior editors, spent many tedious hours com- piling the senior activities. Dolores Zarn and Crary Dahl kept accurate account of sports events for their section Jerry Hage was con- stantly busy checking idents, whereas Skip Ov en and her typev riter were inseparable. Around and among these staff members circled Sally, not satisfied unless everybody, including Mr. Paine, was busy. The Cauldron staff wishes to express their sincere thanks to the Root Studio, Pontiac En- graving and Electrotype Co., and Campus Service for their friendly advice and assistance. ◄ 74 ► HISTORIANS Editor Ass't Editor Make-up Editor Copy Editor Literary Stafl Senior Editors Make-up Staff Sports Editors Sally Armstrong Eert Radebaugh Lois Geflert Cynthia Owen Jerry Hage Priscilla Lewis Connie Lockhart Barbara Rohkar Delores Swenson Carol Tilly Gale Doss Maureen Reynolds Lenore Courchene Bonnie Erflmeyer Crary Dahl Dolores Zarn Sonia Aamot Pat Jenkins Joe Allen Art Editor Photographer Business Manager Ass't Business Manager .

On May 19 and 20 the audience watched with interest Father i Spence's efforts to per- suade members of his congregation to build a new church and parsonage and Mother Spence's efforts to keep harmony between her husband and his flock. They laughed at the giddy old women who were opposed to any- thing and everything, and at Georgie, the enfant terrible.” Teenagers in the audience were surprised to find that 1910 teenagers had many of the same characteristics as they did. Hartzell and Eileen Spence underwent the natural fears and worries of moving to a new and strange town. Molly drew many laughs with her brusque actions and downright frankness while Lettie did the same with her boy-crazy antics. The property, costume, and make-up crews added the essentials to put the charac- ters and stage settings in a 1910 mood. Mrs. Katol and her all-star cast. As I was saying ...

This change was put into effect by an overwhelming majority in a vote taken by juniors and seniors. At the same time they voted to allow each upperclassman to bring a guest, either in school or out of school. This arrangement worked out most satisfactorily, for many more people attended that Prom than had in previous years. The 19th Century Club v as selected for this all-important dance, which was held May 28. It was a warm spring evening v ell suited for dancing to music supplied by Dick Koeder's orchestra. The grand march immediately preceded the entertainment, which v as planned and pre- sented by the juniors. The program included a vocal solo by Jere' Wolfe and a piano solo by Nancy Klein Gale Doss and Jean Drew sang a duet and Bill Gerg, Crary Dahl, John Burch- ardt, and John Greil participated in a quartet. As to the refreshments — the sandwiches were supplied by junior girls, but a caterer supplied and served punch and cake along with the sandwiches Prom will stand out to many in future years as a memorable occasion in their high school career, but last year's Prom will be re- membered as one of the best. Timely energy Waltz time Climax On the solid side i 77 ► For the past fifteen years the local chapter of the Daughters of the American Revolution has sponsored the selection of a senior girl who excels in dependability, leadership, patriotism, and service. Through senior English classes three girls are nominated, and the faculty se- lects one of them as best showing these char- acteristics. This year the seniors nominated Sally Arm- strong, Nancy Klein, and Lois Geffert. The fac- ulty then chose Sally as the final winner. The most outstanding of Sal's achieve- ments has been receiving the editorship of this year's Cauldron and last year's Trojan. She was president of Drama Club last year and has been a member every year. Nancy has been in the band all four years and in A Cappella the last two. She has been on the Y-Teens cabinet every year and was president this year. President of G.A.A. was the most import- ant of Lois' duties this year. She has also done a lot of work along the art line and was art editor of the Cauldron. Sally's name will be submitted with the names of other winners in the state for a draw- ing. The winner will receive a trip to Wash- ington, D. C. Other awards for seniors were the history essay prizes to two students and the Phi Beta Kappa keys to the scholastically high ranking boy and girl. ’3 ► NATIONAL HONOR SOCIETY Row 1: B. Nemoc. A.

SCHOLARS AND SCRIBBLERS Eeny, meeny, miney, mo, who should make the N.H.S.? Although this was far from the procedure used in selecting members of National Honor Society it might well have been the one, for there were many well-qualified students in the class of '50 and competition was stiff. This year, as always, a list of seniors rank- ing in the upper third of the class was qiven to each of the faculty, who selected the members. The thirty-eight seniors who were elected to the N.H.S. were formally initiated into the society at the Awards Assembly. Here they received the pin embossed with the Golden Torch of Knowledge which signifies scholarship, character, school spirit, responsibility, and leadership. Four Cauldron and six High Life staff members, this year, were awarded member- ships in the international organization of Quill and Scroll. To qualify for membership in this organi- zation, students must be seniors, in the upper third of their class, and have done outstanding work in writing, editing, or business manage- ment; they must also have the recommendation of the advisor of their publication and the ap- proval of the National Executive Secretary of the Society. Members of the Society were recognized at the awards assembly this spring and pre- sented with a pin and a year s subscription to Quill and Scroll Magazine. ◄ 79 ► SENIOF S. Aamot S. Armstrong G.

Although our shoes were worn and thin from so many activities, we, the class of '50, bounded down the last mile of high school life with as much spirit and enthusiasm as we had way back in September '46 when our shoes were new and shinny bright Our freshmen and sophomore years we broke in our shoes by joining all of the extra curricular activities and by maintaining high scholastic averages. But by our junior year our shoes were comfortable and we felt like branching out a bit. Our first project was to make something worth-while out of the Alumni Dance, which we did, thereby establishing an annual Junior class project. We took prom out of school for the first time in DGHS history. This, too, proved to be a huge success. We originated and suc- cessfully established the first Senior Social. This year alone, we were West Suburban Champs in both Varsity football and Cross Country. In basketball we took the regional championships. Well, kids, it's about time to lay aside our shoes; we've ditched our last classes, and made our last honor rolls . . . we're going on to new horizons: marriage, college, a vocation—yet none of us will forget the friendships we've made or the fun we've had these last four years.
