The scheduled run of old Fifty Four” at DOWNERS GROVE HIGH SCHO Dowers Grove, Illinois Volume 35 1954 CAULDRON ALL ABOARD Yes, it has been a wonderful trip We are going to think often of our travels through the scenes of Downers High; to recall every one of them, from our first day on board to the moment when we step- ped down to the platform of the future We had times when the ride was not as smooth as it could have been some of the bumps almost derailed us— but somehow we always managed to right ourselves. All those little casualties just served to make the trip more interesting and the arrival at our destination more worthwhile There were all those whistlestops—the Saturday afternoon football games, our big nights in front of the footlights in Carnival, the inspiring Christmas concerts and our last prom, to say nothing of all the other activities that brightened us en route. At times these things even seemed to speed us on our way,at least, they gave us a better understanding of the scenic values of the trip and added to the many memories we have collected on our way to our Grand Central Station graduation. As the Class of 1954 passes the controls to its successors in the Class of 1955, it sets out on a longer, even more significant journey. It is our sin- cere hope that these future travelers will make all these same stops, enjoy them as much as we have, and preserve the privileges for posterity. Through those portals pass Ijjf TABLE OF CONTENTS Personnel page 9 Activities page 33 Seniors page 73 5 Fountain and Form WE HONOR . . . VGINEER ON OUR FIFTY-FOUR EXPRESS Engineer at work Who is our favorite crew member and pass- enger, all wrapped in one In our estimation, and that of countless students and faculty mem- bers, the first-class ticket holder on this train is Miss Blanche Howland. Miss Howland has been a constant commuter on our tram for the past 28 years She has fulfilled her capacity as head engineer very well,- any one of her students will tell you what a wonderful person she is to work with Besides teaching her French and Spanish classes, she has, in past years, helped to sponsor the annual longuage club porties and various Carnival projects A great lover of travel, she is well known around school for her interesting and variety- packed tours. No matter where she decides to go, Miss Howland always manages to bring back movies or slides of her journeys. It is with pride and appreciation of all the efforts she has made in our behalf that the Cauldron Staff of 1954 dedicates this Cauldron to a most deserving traveler Miss Blanche Howland Native Culture PERSONNEL BOARD OF DIRECTORS BOARD OF EDUCATION Mr. Eickemeyer, Mr Goetjens, Mr Armstrong, Dr Harris, Mr Groat, Mrs. Wyman, Mrs. Dickson, Mr. Sallemi, Mr. Gregory 10 WAYNE GUTHRIE, M.S.ED Dean of Boys ADMINISTRATION Well done! It is very important that we have capable, willing engineers to steer our train of knowledge through the elevations and de- pressions of high school life We need their aid to send us to our goal of becoming more competent citizens, each one aware of his job in the community and in the world These people offer a firm hand to us when we need their guidance most For the solution of num- erous problems we have learned to look to these conductors, and students have often been put on the right track” through their efforts To the Administrative Staff, who unselfishly pre- serve the privileges that we enioy in DGHS and without which it would have been im- possible for us to have successfully completed this journey, the Class of 1954 extends its sincere thanks and its lasting gratitude for a job well done CHARLOTTE ANDERSON, M A Dean of Girls Assistant Principal CLARENCE W.

YARDSMEN CHEFS All day throughout the school evidence can be found of the presence of these busy porters who maintain our building and campus Even after the student activity has ceased for the day they work on, doing jobs which are important to the smooth operation of the school on the following day To Mr. Leverenz and his competent staff go our thanks for such a well-cared-for trip As the dinnerbell sounds, hundreds of DGHS passengers rush towards the diner. Our cap- able diner staff begins work in the kitchens early each day, for they prepare lunches for practically all of these passengers. To accom- modate the increasing number of students, we have four lunch periods. State aid provides for the special plate lunches served during the year Thanks for the swell meals and service, ladies! is Trig goes outdoors According to the book Mr. Chairman, I nominate Power of concentration Citizens of tomorrow Hard work can be fun When our boys march Preparing for the game THE RAILRUNNERS THESE FRESHMEN HAVE JUST BEGUN THEIR LONG JOURNEY Small, wide-eyed, and razzable are good words to describe the 402 freshmen who en- tered high school in September The Class of '57 proved to be the largest ever to arrive at DGHS These rail runners got out from under the wheels and plunged enthusiastically into school work and activities Many freshmen were seen in Carnival and the All School Play The girls became active in G A A sports and were frequently at Y-Teen functions The boys took part m football, basketball, and wrestling; they also joined such organizations as Hi-Y, Stamp and Com Club, and language clubs Not to be overlooked, are the fresh- men names appearing on the honor roll After a year of adjustments, the freshmen are eagerly looking forward to becoming stable sophomore passengers on our train of know- ledge Gold-hearted gals Fatherly advice Freshman parly Bunny hop latest rage Row 1 M.

THIRD CLASS TRAVELLERS SOPHOMORES ARE BEGINNING TO ENJOY THE RIDE ‘ Wooooo-Wooooo-Woo-Wooooo signals our DGHS Limited as it approaches one of the many whistlestop activities on the school year time-table With eager anticipation and ac- tions full of vim, vigor and vitality, our third- class passengers anxiously prepare to step down and take their place in an atmosphere entirely different from the past routine of the train ride Recently promoted from the ranks of rail runners, the sophomore class enjoys the apparent ease and luxury of third class travel and feels that it is an integral part of school life After a year of experience under those trying freshmen conditions, the sophomores have plunged into their work with a stored-up amount of energy this year and a will to succeed that sometimes surpasses that of us old-timers One of the secrets of the success of their class can be traced to the fact that the sopho- mores are as equally adept in scholastics and sports as they are in club activities. In the future they may face some derailing times on the sharp curves and rough tracks of life, but we know they II do well1 Far away places Snakes Alive1 Friends, Romans, countrymen Row 1 Row 2 Row 3 Row 4: Row 5 Row 6 Row 7 Row 8 Row 9 0 Aamot, J.

At times it has seemed a long and tedious ride, but thus far they have fared very well They showed superior skill in the various athletic events, and gave their support to G A AY-Teens, Hi-Y, and numerous other clubs and school activities In the University of Illinois tests, given annually to the juniors, they showed superior scholastic ability in the various phases of study covered The selection of class rings and the planning of the Prom were among the biggest events on the junior timetable With the help of Miss Chessman and Mr Adams, junior counsellors, the Prom was one of the most successful ever given. It was held at the Oak Park Club on May 28. Junior class officers this year were Ralph Good, president, Elsa Weiffenbach, vice-presi- dent; Aileen Tea, secretary, and Helen Mc- Laughlin, treasurer The junior class is looking forward to con- tinuing this fine record in their final year at high school.

Student Council sponsored the cheer- leaders' uniforms, chose the cheers, and handled the registration of student cars. They presented the freshman party and acted as hosts and hos- tesses at Career Night College Night, and Open House. In every situation, our student Council attempts to better the attitude of the students toward the school. The officers of the council this year were Ben Tate, president, Ralph Good, vice-presi- dent; Virginia Witt, secretary, and Diane Kidd, treasurer. 34 ORCHESTRA Row 1: D. Frost, J. Koy, C. Johnson, J.

Powell ORCHESTRA Once agam the DGHS orchestra showed the merits of an enterprising leader and an indus- trious group of mucicians. The remarkable progress of this organization is clearly shown by the ever-increasing number of concerts pre- sented to the public. The orchestro had a very busy trip throughout the school year. One of the more important of the stops was the fine job they did playing at the beginning of the All School Play, which was presented in October; they followed up with their recent appearance at the Senior Play These mucicians olso proved to be very help- ful and entertaining to both the cast and the audience of the Carnival stage shows pre- sented in November. The orchestra, of course, was a part of the annual P I A. Christmas Con- cert, which represented the combined efforts of the entire music department Twice during the school year the orchestra presented its own concerts the Winter Concert on November 22, and the Spring Concert on April 4 Varied ond interesting programs were played These in- cluded some of the organization s own ar- rangements, and were thoroughly enjoyed by the listening audiences. The performances of the organization were enriched by the many soloists and ensembles made up or orchestra members. They put in extra work, which required them to spend time over and above the regular rehearsal hour each day All the soloists and ensembles en- tered in the annual district and state contests held this year were a credit to our school Competition proved to be very stimulating, as evidenced by the outstanding work done in the contests. Undoubtedly, the pleasant diversion pro- vided by our fine orchestra did much to make our trip the smooth, memorable one it was THE 1954 Flute and Piccolo Dickie Arndt Carol Whitlock Frances Sallemi Carol Wilhelm Clive Hoffman Norma Fether Oboe Charles Aschbrenner Ann Sallemi Bassoon Robert Mejdrich Barbara Bertotti Clarinet Sally Sue Johnson Janice Hume Dinms Ehnmger Phyllis Holmes Kathleen Frawley Bryan Gore Joanne Peterson Flame Offanos Jeannette Johnson Alice Johnson Jane White Suzette Brundage Alto Clarinet Arlene Lieb Joyce Burns President Vice-President Secretary Treasurer Bass Clarinet George Sanders Alto Saxophone Dorothy Rekstad Robert Kolar Walter Wyllie Tenor Saxophone Edith Noffsmger Dale Van Leeuwen Baritone Saxophone Gordon Stephenson Cornel Ben Powell Bert Mochel Ronald Baukol James Lehmann Donald Johnson Tom Schloegel Jon Swanson Jeanne Edwards Sally Hylander French Horn James Albright Richard Albright Eldon Miller BAND OFFICERS Ben Powell Glenn Powell Dorothy Rekstad Ron Baukol Senior Representative Trombone Glenn Powell William Shelton Phil Booth Larry Wyllie Willis Johnson Jeanne Meiser Dan Benson Baritone Fred Pearson Monty Besmer Ross Johnson Bass Clyde Flowers LeRoy Koehler David Grant Drums Patricia Richter Barbara Freed Dan Donnelly Charles Saladino LeRoy Quigley Drum Maiors Janice Hume Carol Whitlock Majorette Alice Newman Sally Sue Johnson Don Johnson Gordon Stephenson Arlene Lieb Librarian Freshman Representative Sophomore Representative Junior Representative Phil Booth ,?r. BAND Just as the rhythmic sound of the tram wheels rumbling over the tracks is music to the engi- neer's ears, so the strains of a Sousa march echoing across the football field are music to our ears at DGHS. Owing to its versatility, our band provided the music and formations for the football games, entertained fans during the halves of basket- ball games, and played an exchange assembly for York students with the same equanimity A new feature in this year’s activities was the West Suburban Music Festival at Arlington Heights on April S DG band members held high positions in the combined band under the direction of Mr Bamum, the retired director of the Northwestern University Band Honors won at the district and state band contests by the band and by soloists and ensem- bles proved again what we’ve been saying for a long time Our DG Band is tops1 Jazz Session A CAPPELLA Row 1 I Hume, C.

Stewartson, B Tate, T. Rolando, J. Sinclair The A Cappella choir, under the direction of Mr. Wm. Pohlmann, has just brought to a close another successful musical year. Large por- tions of the musical programs presented during the year were planned and executed by the choir members themselves. I he choir put in its first appearances in the Armistice program and in the Carnival Later, A Cappella combined with the band, orches- tra, and other choruses to present the annual Christmas Concert. The choir performed for the Baccalaureate and Commencement Exer- cises, but their annual Spring Concert climaxed the season for them. Choir members partici- pated in the concert as directors, accompan- ists, and soloists. Throughout the year, the choir also had many engagements for non- school organizations, which included a pro- gram for Vets at Hines Hospital. Congratulations to Mr Pohlmann and his entire choir for all the inspiring music they presented this year. 38 B A CAPPELLA Walk past 320 during the second hour of any day in the week, and you will hear 41 voices, all working toward a single goal That group is our B A Cappella choir During the year they practice sightrading and work on memori- zation. They drill on vowel pronunciation and improve their tone quality and pitch. They may even rehearse selections used by A Cap- pella in earlier programs. In all of these ways they prepare for the advancement that is their reward Mixed chorus, our third vocal group, meets as a complete unit once a week, and in it stu- dents first learn the fundamentals of four-part harmony The group added their talents to those of the other musical groups that presented the Christmas Concert This event, the one big performance of the combined groups, was pre- sented on two consecutive nights and to one student assembly It climaxed the activities of the combined groups for this year.

Eldridge, treasurer TICKET AGENTS Since its beginning four years ago, the Stamp and Com Club has developed so rapidly that membership in the club is now limited to under- classmen only This limited membership was adopted mainly to interest and encourage be- ginners and to provide greater individual appre- ciation on the part of club members Highlights of the club s year included several school exhibits of stamps, representing countries and provinces throughout the world, during National Stamp Collecting Week. Through the efforts of its sponsor, Mr. Pappas the club enlarged its library and added to its knowledge of stamps by a new medium of Stamp Exchange 41 CAMERA CLUB Seated: Mr. Holt, R Scott, W.

The club has its own darkroom, to which all members have access. This year the club took full advantage of nature s beauty by making several field trips to the Arboretum to take pictures. They also had the opportunity to visit the La Grange Camera Shop to view its darkroom and laboratory. A an added attraction, a contest was sponsored by the club in which each member submitted pictures he had taken and developed This year’s officers were: W. Ten Cate, president, R. Scott, vice-president, and J. Leh- mann, secretary-treasurer. 42 SWITCHMEN One of the work crews on our train is the A V. A Club. It shows movies in various classrooms and sets up the public address sys- tem at sports events, assemblies, night school, and other adtivities in the school. Members gain valuable experience and training in work- ing with audio equipment, and they often find jobs in this field after high school Operating on the point system, members can earn their letter when 250 points are accumulated The A, V. A. emblem is given to members with 50 points. Under the direction of Mr Cleveland, sponsor; Dave Eisler, pres.; Dean Guenther, vice-pres., and Elton O Byrne, sec., A V. A has had another successful year. ADVERTISING AGENTS CALL BOYS Will you renew this book? Can I have Life magazine? These are common questions to the students who give up their study periods to work in the library. The purpose of the Library Aids is to keep the library in operating order and to assist the library directors and the student body Their duties include working at the loan desk, shelv- ing books, and repairing books. A special job of the club this year was to help the library move to its new location. A hearty thank you goes to Miss Natzke, sponsor of the club, and to all her helpers for the fine job they did for the students this year The Art Club was well represented in the school activities during the past year. fhe products turned out by member, show inspira tion and enthusiasm One of the most impres- sive accomplismhents was the fine float which represented the organization at Homecoming. The Carnival activities included such pro- jects as making and selling purple and white beanies and painting flats for the stage show Murals, which represented Christmas in for eign lands, were exhibited in the cafeteria during the holidays.

They answer phones, make out tardy slips, fill out reports, and collect the absence cards from the rooms each day Their work is never dull and the variety of jobs available would fill a day-long list Another part of the club is the group of students who serve the school as hall monitors, typists and assistants to the various teachers. The work they do, small as it may be, is impor- tant to the smooth operation of the depart- ments. Whenever the extra work begins to pour in, these students are on hand to receive it and to make quick work of doing a good job on it These extras’’ see to it that order is kept at all times, and that the task of getting tests and bulletins out on time is accompished. Any way you look at it, the Service Club is an mdispensible part of the school organiza- tion. They deserve a vote of thanks we really do appreciate their efficient service. •u.

A picnic at Gilbert Park, which served as a reunion for members, was the first social event of the year The Big and Little Sister Tea, at which the club’s officers were formally introduced, followed shortly after- wards. The official initiation of new members was observed with an impressive candle-light ceremony later in the foil Father and Daughter Night, held in early December, treated every- one to dancing and refreshments The second semester was opened with the Y-Teens dance, the Cupid Capers In the spring, Charm Club’s annual fashion show and the Mother-Daughter Tea climaxed the season.

Early in the fall the 1953-54 GAA Board, under the direction of Miss Krajewski, began to make plans for the coming year To start the year s activities, a speedball tournament was held in which Barb Meyer s junior team won the championship Along with speed- ball, archery ond tennis took up much of the girls time During the winter months, bowling and basketball were in the limelight. A single elimination basketball tournament was held and Phil Tea s junior team won. Bowling was under the direction of Miss Marion Olson. The Alley Cats, a sophomore team, won the tournament, in which twenty-two teams par- ticipated. On February 17, GAA held its annual initi- ation Fifty-two new members were accepted through an informal, and later, a formal cere- mony Following this, many of the girls con- cluded the year’s sports program with volley- ball, golf, tennis, and archery In Spring the Awards Banquet was held, at which time numerals, letters, and maps were presented to the girls who had earned the required number of points The Leaders Club, consisting of thirteen girls, assisted the gym instructors in refereeing gym classes and after-school sports. These girls go through a period of training to learn the rules and regulations of all sports. The club 50 |0 ani Locker inspection? Steady now . . .

Kruse | Since its beginning in 1934, Trojan Maga- zine has advanced rapidly to become one of the finest literary magazines in this area The Trojan staff consists of members from all four classes. Literary editor for the year 1954 was Elaine St Clair Carl Schneider, art editor; and Bea Carlson, business manager, did some very commendable work on the magazine. Assisting them was Mr George Pappas, who is serving his second year as Trojan Advisor Trojan’s main function is to give the inter- ested, literary-minded student a chance to publish his work A great deal of written work was done m the English classes for use in Trojan. Nor does Trojan forget the artist a special section of the magazine is devoted to this field also Something new, of course, happens every year and 1954 is no exception Men s fash- ions for 54, introduced by Wayne Ten Cate, proved to be one of the highlights of the maga- zine. This year’s publication, marking the twentieth anniversary of the magazine, proved to be an important milestone in the history of Trojan. LITERARY AND BUSINESS STAFF Row 1: A. Highland, W.

And with that the crew set forth to make the ’54 Cauldron the biggest and best of them all Eorly in the spring last year we met for the first few times to determine the theme, dedica- tion, and general layout of the book After a few summer meetings we set our gears and completed our plans We were ready to start the wheels rolling with a successful business campaign in the fall. With over a thousand tickets punched and paid for, the crew had its work cut out: our passengers were going to have the most memor- able trip we could give them. The literary staff, photographer, and art editor, under the direction of Judy Eickemeyer, worked out the final plans for the dummy. Final polish was added to the two sections of the book, the first going to press in January and the final half in the spring As we pull out of the station, the Cauldron staff says, with satisfaction and anticipation Happy reading, gang1 1954 CAULDRON STAFF Editor Judy Eickemeyer Assistant Editor Raymond Daly Literary Editor Joyce Burns Literory Staff Sally Sue Johnson Jim Albright Ann Rogers Carol Bush Carl Korn Loura Fisher Make-up Editor Bill Durbm Sports Editor Dickie Arndt George Mazanec Photographer Art Editor Jim I eormonih Norman Drapelick Senior Editors Debby Dickson June Wolker Business Managers Betsy Dean Jo Ann Hosiettler Typists Marilyn Doerr Donna Smith Staff at work DEBATE DEBATE Varsity Row 1: E.

This was a common sound around DG, as the debate squad prepared for a meet. Trains played an important part in their schedule, since the debaters used this medium of trans- portation in traveling to and from their debates. I he debate squad enjoyed a very successful year, placing fourth in the sixteen teams enter- ed in the Metropolitan Debate Union They ended with a 21-9 record. Besides debating at Augustana College, Navy Pier, and Arling- ton Heights, they captured first place in the Blue Island Invitational Tournament The squad took second place at the Sectional Tourney at Pontiac, which qualified them for the State 56 Tourney, held April 2. Debating affirmative on the varisty squad were Elaine St. Clair, Dean Guenther, and Jon Swanson Randall Ripley, Ron Dudas, and Frances Sallemi debated negative. The sub- varsity team was composed of Dan Bures, Gor- don Stephenson, Elton O Byrne, Nancy Grimes, Eldon Miller, and Vic Sidhu. Much of the success of the squads can be attributed to the very capable coaching of Mr. Glenn Olney. The traditional oil can which is presented annually to the most promising beginning de- bater, was awarded to Frances Sallemi, a junior this year. ALL-SCHOOL PLAY This year the curtam raised on one of the most successful All School plays ever given at DGHS Huckleberry Finn. Because of its fine humor and the ecxellent portrayal by the cast, the story brought to life on the stage was en- joyed by all The success of this play can also be attributed to the capable direction of Miss Dobben, Huckleberry Finn was her first production at DGHS. The back-stage crew, with Mary Wiker as stage manager, also had a very important part in the production of this play, and their fine work should not pass unnoticed.

For Dads Day, however, the tied boys trounced R-B, 19 to 7, on our home field. The Trojans dropped their next two games, one to Hinsdale, 26 to 13, and the other to York, 1 12 to 0 At Maine, we had our toughest loss of the season. The Trojans scored in the lost minute of play, but missed the extra point to lose, 21 to 20 After the Maine game, the q Trojans seemed to lose heart, and the last games ended with La Grange and Glenbard 0 on top. q Downers had four boys on the All-Confer- ence team, as many as the other conference schools. This, and the promise of a better season next year, are the two bright spots of the past season.

Donahoe carries the ball FROSH-SOPH FOOTBALL At the start of the season, the Frosh-Soph coaches, Mr. Carstens and Mr. Therry, pre- dicted that the team would have a fine year, but that it would be hindered by a lack of ex- perience. Less than five of the boys had pre- viously played on the team, but what was lack- ing in experience, they made up for in team spirit and enthusiasm. The beginning of the season dimmed their chances for success, however They lost their first two games, to Naperville, and to Arlington Heights. After these two defeats, the Ponies bounded back to romp victoriously over R-B, 39 to 0. This established a new conference scoring record for a single game Later, the Ponies lost to Hinsdale, but came back in the following game to beat York. After losing to Maine and La Grange, the Ponies brought the season to a close by defeating Glenbard, 7 to 6 With the experience gained this season, the Frosh-Soph team members show promise of fine ability for the future varsity team.

CROSS COUNTRY It’s 3:25 on a perfect fall day and everyone is rushing home from old DG Almost everyone, that is These boys are rushing, but not AWAY from school This is also perfect cross-country weather! As the year began, hopes for a good season weren't too bright for the Troian harriers. Coach Ingles had only two returning letlermen, senior Fred Barnes and junior Bernie De Guz- man, around whom to build his team. However, these two boys proved to be more than an ample nucleus around which to build an out- standing squod Coupled with the fine running of such newly- developed stars as Tom Ludwig, junior, and Jim Albright, Ray Miller, Ben Powell, Glenn Powell, and Phil Young, all of whom are sen- iors, the squad made a truly fine showing to the delightful surprise of the Downers Grove fans. To mention just a few of the laurels earned by the harriers, they took fourth in the district meet, third in the conference, and won three- fourths of their dual meets Fred Barnes took fifth place in the district to qualify for the state meet Downers scores' VARSITY BASKETBALL Row '1 S.

Lack of height and experience hampered the Trojans in the 53-54 season. They started the season off with an easy victory over Naperville. Later they defeated Riverside-Brookfield and York In the Christmas Tournament at Hinsdale, the Trojans fell before powerful Elgin and Dundee teams. In the second round of Conference play the Trojans again triumphed over R-B and York. In a non-conference tilt, the team edged out Batavia by one point, 50-49. In the regional pairings for the State Tourna- ment, Downers drew R-B and defeated them for the third time of the season. While they fell to La Grange, the Trojans made more points against the Lions than did any other team this season. Individual honors went to junior guard Ron Baukol and team captain Don Extrom, both of whom were chosen for positions on the All- Converence team The Trojans ended the season in a tie for sixth place in the conference with a record of four wins and ten losses.

They won their first game with Naperville, but after this victory, lost eight games in a row These games included all seven of their games in the first round of conference play Shortly after this, however, the Ponies suddenly seemed to catch fire. They climbed back on the victory wagon by defeating East Aurora by one point, 48 to 47. After this game they lost only three of their last twelve games In the second round of con- ference play, the Ponies won five of the seven games The two losses came at the hands of York and LaGrange, both powerful teams. After the regular season was over, the Ponies were invited to play in the Wheaton Frosh-Soph Tournament. They won their first two games of the tournament, but were defeated in an overtime game, 45 to 44 Sparked by the fine play of Dave Mathis and Gary Fridley, the Frosh-Soph team established a fine record even after its shaky start.

Blocker WRESTLING This was the first year that Downers Grove had a wrestling team, and the sport was greeted enthusastically by all, with more than sixty boys turning out for the first practice in November. However, when the season ended in February, only 32 boys remained on the squad. The squad was made up almost en- tirely of freshmen and sophomores a sign of good teams in future years The team had ten meets and lost all of them, but eight were with schools that have long been recognized as possessing powerful teams The two other meets were with beginning wrestling teams Both of these meets were lost by less than three points. In the sectional tour- nament, La Grange, Morton, and Proviso made up the squad’s stiffest competition This year, the wrestling squad had five letter winners. M. McCollum, J. Exner, W. Hayes, D Bellerive, and D Miner were the first DG students to acquire this honor Me Collum was elected captain and did much to help the team with his record of 9 wins, 2 ties, and 1 loss As a beginner, the squad already gives indi- cation of a bright future for wrestling at DG Oswego on the bottom Bellerive works for a pm Row 1 J.

Kinter TRACK-1953 ‘0 The year 1953 can indeed be counted as another successful one for the Downers Grove track team Starting early in February, the boys diligently practiced at the Naperville Field House in the evenings and in the DG halls after school Later in the spring, when the activities were switched to the outdoors, they reaped a harvest of victories from these long hours of hard, steady practice. Although the Trojans failed to take first place in any of the big meets, they made a fine showing by taking second place in the Little Four Meet, second in the County Meet, fourth in the District Meet, and fourth in the Hinsdale Relays. To add to this fine record the Trojans won the majority of their dual meets. Four boys brought honor to DG by qualifying for the State Meet, held at the University of Illinois at Champaign This quartet consisted of team captain, Ron Vogel, a low hurdler; Jed Metcalf and Harrison Brown, high jumpers; and Jack Dee, a pole-vaulter. Got it? BASEBALL- 1953 Spring (raining In his first year as baseball coach at Downers Grove, Coach Wellman did a very commend- able job. Several of his top men had played on the co-champion team of the previous year The backbone of this year's club was the fine pitching staff, headed by Carl McCollum and backed up by Bruce Rutherford and Ralph Van Dorp The big surprise of the season, how- ever, was the remarkable hitting of the team Ihe entire team did exceptionally well, but the steady, consistent power came from hitters like Ted Baran, Bill Howell, Carl McCollum and team captain, Tom Potter. It was a really fine season for the Trojans, who closed it with a record of ten wins and seven losses. Conference Standings 1 Maine 2. York 3.

Be- hind these three boys will be two numeral winners from last year, John Grow and Gary Fridley. Both of these boys show a lot of promise and things on the whole look pretty bright for the 54 golf squad Practice for tennis began early in March with the boys diligently working out in the gym. In April the practice sessions were switched outdoors, where the boys really went to work in earnest. Coach Carstens predicted early in the year that the team would be hampered by lack of experience. With only three lettermen returning, the prospects for a successful season were somewhat dim However, Mr. Carstens dis- closed that he expected a better season than the one the team had had the previous yeor. Team captain, Tom Rolando,and Randall Ripley, an enthusiastic junior, promised to provide the Trojans with an excellent doubles team, and a brighter future. NATIONAL HONOR SOCIETY Row 1: A.

Early in the spring, these seniors, forty-one in all, were presented with the coveted Golden Torch emblem of the National Honor Society This emblem, to the senior, stands not only as a symbol of his duty in the days to come, but is representative of four years of accomplishment From the ranks of the members will emerge the future citizen- ship leaders of our communities and of our country. QUILL AND SCROLL Quill and Scroll, a national organization which recognizes those students who have exceptional ability in the field of journalism and have done outstanding work on a school publi- cation, again honored a number of students from DGHS. All students eligible for Quill and Scroll must be in the upper third of their class, have the recommendation of the advisor of a school publication, and the approval of the Society's Executive Secretary. The students, thirteen in all, who obtained membership in Quill and Scroll this year were given their pins in May. D.A.R M Hoyden, N Vioroq, S. Johnson SENIOR PLAY Time to start! On stage, everybody! With that, the curtain went up on the pro- duction of that hilarious three-act comedy of campus romance, Girl Shy The play took place before a full house on the nights of May 6 and 7 on the DG stage Audiences roared with laughter at the curious antics of that bash- ful, girl-shy creature, Tom Arsdale Tryouts for the ploy were held in February, and a cast of thirteen was chosen Rehear- sals began almost immediately under the capa- ble direction of Miss Barbara Dobben The play proved a hit1 When the curtain was drawn, applause greeted the cast from all corners of the house The seniors can mark up this one, their last, as a job well done! D. A. R. The D A R award is based on leadership, dependability, patriotism, and service Each year the senior class of DGHS votes on the three girls they consider the outstanding citi- zens. The girls nominated by their classmates were Marilyn Hayden, Sally Sue Johnson, and Nancy Viereq. The faculty made Nancy their final choice for 1954 Oh, Norman1 Oh, Paul1 Convention?

Making the last trip on this wonderful, but fast tram, is our senior class of 1954 The trips we have taken have been good ones, full of fun and knowledge Leading the class through these last miles were our class officers, Nan Viereg, Dale Frid- ley, Marilyn Hayden, and Dan Kmter They were swell friends, and they gave us the sup- port we needed all during the trip Now, as we march down these aisles for the last time, and as the wooden spoon is hand- ed down to our successors, we look back over the miles and think of the times we have had here at DGHS. Our high school days are behind us, but never will we forget them And, as we look toward the future, we feel that we have done our part to make the past four years the most memorable of our lives thus far PROM 1953 PAT ABBADUSKA Biology Club 2; Trojan 2,- Y-Teens 4 RICHARD ACKLEY A.V.A. 2, 3, CAROLYN ADAMS G.A.A 1 ETHEL ADAMS Band 3, Carnival 3; G.A.A. 1, Orchestra 1, 2, 3, Y-Teens 1 LEEANN ADKINS Carnival 3, 4; G.A.A. 1; Pep Club 1, 2; Y-Teens 1 MICHAEL AIKINS Basketball 1, 2, Baseball 2; Football 1, 2, Hi-Y 1, 2, 3, Math Club 1 JAMES ALBRIGHT A Capella 3, 4, All-School Play 3, Band 1, 2, 3, 4, Biology Club 3, Carnival 2, 4, Couldion, Goss Country 3, 4, Debate 2, Drama Club 4, HiYl; Orchestra 2, 3, 4, Track 3, 4, Natl Hon.
