in ®eiiitation To Mr. Everett Holt, in his twentieth year at Downers Grove High School, we, the 1951 Cauldron Staff, dedicate this volume. Aside from his duties as chemistry and physics instructor, Mr. Holt has several extra-curricular activities. He is interested in photography and is advisor of the Camera Club at DGHS. In the past he has served also as assistant business manager of athletics. Outside of school, Mr. Holt enjoys such pastimes as square dancing, v atching football and basketball games, and travel- ing. He is an experienced bee-keeper, and this hobby also occupies much of his time. Downers High would not be complete without Mr. Holt's familiar bow ties and his pleasant sense of humor Because he is so patient with budding scientists, and is one of our favorite teachers, we salute him

Jforetoorb In feudal times, knighthood v as an ulti- mate goal reached only after many years of strict discipline and training. When the aspir- ing knight donned his shield and armor, he exemplified the attainment of all the desirable knightly traits. Here in DGHS, our modern school of chivalry, we also are being trained for a knighthood. As underclassmen we learn the first, most elementary lessons a page must learn: Respect for those v e work under, co- operation with those v e work with and toler- ance with those who work under us. With these lessons mastered, we become upperclass- men, squires, v ith more responsibility and much more to learn. When we are skilled in all the necessary arts, we are ready to take upon ourselves the heavy armor of knighthood. So it is that we, the knights of 1951, are ready to mount our ideals and ride confidently into whatever task may lie ahead. It is with a twinge of sadness that we, looking back upon our four jolly years as squires and pages, bid farewell to the lords and ladies who have schooled us and to those who have learned v ith us. We find solace, however, in the knov ledge that our squires, the knights of 1952, are eager and able to take our places, and that this Cauldron v ill ever contain fond memories of our years at DGHS.
