Clinic When a student or faculty member felt under the weather it was natural for him to turn to the Downers Grove High School clinic for medical assistance. The clinic was efficiently run by Downers Grove High School's own angel of mercy, Miss Myna Beck and her student helpers These students, who relinquished a free period to aid others, had many varied duties. Among these duties were allotting aspirin and administering band aids to those in need. Miss Beck, of course, cared for the more serious ailments. C. Fifty-four years ago the Parent-Teacher Association was originated in an effort to make the education of boys and girls attending school a problem of the home as well as of the school itself. The Downers Grove P-T. A. has grown larger and stronger every year. Among the activities it sponsored v ere Open House and the annual Christmas program. We hope that in future years the P-T. A. v ill be as successful as it has been in the past. CLINIC D. Burkhardt, C. Stewartson, D. Rog- gentine, L. Snider. E. Cross, Miss Beck. P-T. A.

Cafeteria To the students of DGHS, the Cafeteria was a very vital part of school life. Lunch was a gala occasion, at which the students enjoyed good wholsome food in clean and pleasant surroundings The success of the cafeteria has depended largely upon the ladies, and their efforts. They worked diligently to please the hungry high school crowd. The student helpers also deserved a vote of thanks for clearing the cluttered lunch tables and stacking trays. Custotnans Downers Grove High School was very fortunate to have custodians to keep everything in motion so that no time was ever wasted. The custodians’ jobs were numberless. They kept the building warm, ventilated, and clean; the grounds around the building neat; and the walks cleaned in the winter. Much of their work was done before and after school and during the summer months. Thank you, Mr. Leverenz and your stafl, for your co-operation in furthering the best interests of our school by keeping it so clean and attractive. 18

SENIOR CLASS OFFICERS J. Flemming, Sec; S. Winkle, Pres.; J. Boucek, Vice-President, S. Aleccia, Treasurer. entors As we, the noble knights of the class of 1951, made our last trip across the floor of the Downers gym, a variety of thoughts passed through our minds. We remembered how we started high school as pages — willing to work and learn the trade. We took part in the Carnival, the All-School play, athletics. Student Council, and practically all other activities. In the next two years as squires we ac- quired leadership in many fields We held offices in Student Council, G.A.A., Y-Teens, Hi- Y, and other clubs. We won success in athletics, debate, and in managing school publications. The football season and a new crop of freshmen heralded the beginning of our senior year. The Senior Play, the Senior Social, and the Senior Picnic were some of the activities in which we participated. Reigning over the round table were Sue Winkle, president; Jackie Boucek, vice-presi- dent, Clarence Aleccia, treasurer; and Joan Flemming, secretary. Marching across the floor to graduate with the most wonderful group of people we had ever known, these memories were things of the past. Ahead lay great things — great because our high school days had prepared us for them. 20
