From each of a hundred perspectives, in each of a hundred eyes, it presents a different face. To our timid Freshman eyes she stood as a pillar of learning, an imposing ructare we held in awe as we trod her halls with unsure step. Her doors were ►cn to us, unproven as we were, but willing to learn, and we will carry this cture of her welcome in our hearts. As Sophomores, appearing more learned as we strode with surer step and connotation Atlftl we suddenly realize the emotions of the countless others who went before us and knew these same thoughts. We regard with slightly superior eyes those who will follow us and voice the same thoughts. We see the school in a new light — as a beloved home which has offered its strength until we learned to make our own separate ways. 0 0 4 THOSE FAMILIAR FACES ON THE CAMPUS Moments to Remember Deciding the fete of the world.

Though we often approach room 205 with hesi- Dr. John Harris, taut step, we generally leave it with a perplexing Superintendent of Schools problem solved, thanks to Mr. Wayne Guthrie. Mrs. Charlotte Andersen's office is a pleasant place to stop for a bit of information. Is this “A week or B week? To Mr. Clarence Johnson and to the other elders in our family album we wish to express deepest ap- preciation for their guidance during our stay at D.G.H.S., for in offering a friendly helping hand and valuable advice, they have made the way easier. Mr. Clarence Johnson, Principal Board of Education Donn Armstrong Roberta Corbin Fred Eickemeyer Harlow Gregory Warren Lebeck John Sallemi lone Slepicka Marjorie Wyman October 3 found many parents imitating their children in often vain attempts to find the right class- room on time. Open House is sponsored by the P.T.A. to enable parents to get a “student's eye view” of D.G.H.S. as well as to meet the teachers, thereby promoting good parent-teacher relationships. The P.T.A. board also sponsors the annual Christmas pro- gram and provides for TB chest X-Rays. Now in its 59th year, P.T.A. is successfully carrying out its objective of bringing home and school closer for the welfare of the student. Airs.

Often discussions which begin grammar-wise stray to less scholarly subjects, such as Mr. Lawburgh’s enthusiastic team spirit at the basketball games, or Mr. Pappas’s latest Beau Brummel costume. More often, however, we study: the plays of Shakespeare, or David Copper field, or principles of composition. Who can forget “a foolish consistency is the hob- goblin of little minds”, one teacher’s favorite cliche, or “Well, actually, people, a carpenter wouldn’t forget his tools! These make up a part of school life which we will never forget. Min Marion Olton Mr. Goorgo Pappat Mitt Barbara Dobbon Mrt.

Mr. Edward Paine has headed this course for the past fourteen years. Under his competent supervision, the other teachers of the department help struggling students through elementary algebra as well as ad- vanced mathematics. These courses have been a main factor in the high rating of Downers Grove’s scholastic standings. Why?

Think of what t'm saying!” Yes, history at D.G.H.S. is not the dry subject it often is elsewhere, besides learning background which provides understanding of today’s government, we learned interesting facts such as that LaFayette had red hair and Washington’s false teeth were made by Paid Revere. Sometimes the Huns vied with the Sox in World History Classes, or taxes with the text in Economics. Sociology, too, provided many interesting fields for side-tracking while we learned how society functions — often using Ottumwa as a Sociological example. Our thanks go to these teachers from whom we have learned the background which will make us useful citizens. 20 ...to teach us appreciation of our cultural heritage To product well-educated graduates, a school should offer art and music courses, and Downers Grove has exceptionally fine departments for these subjects. In art classes. Miss Dickson's students study basic principles of sketching and painting, as well as more advanced silk screen and poster work. They put their knowledge to work in service for the school in various ways, such as making scenery for the plays. In the three music departments, besides stimula- tion of interest in instrumental and vocal music, students are taught to work together in productions. Both local and tournament concerts highlight the year for Band and Orchestra, while the choruses perform for community affairs, and produce a Christmas pro- gram. In the Spring, the vocal music department pre- sented the operetta, 'The Vagabond King”. FACULTY Mrs.Ethelyn M Ph� ot«rs Mr. J. Frank RiddUsburger Min Vivian Vifquain INDUSTRIAL ARTS DEPARTMENT To train Craftsmen in the making Downers lias a fine Industrial Arts program which includes sewing and cooking for the girls, and shop and printing for the boys. Their aim is to prepare those who show aptitude for the manual arts. Under Miss Vivian Vifquain, besides dexterity with the needle, girls learn the wisdom of the sages, and know that Emerson said, “When you throw mud at somelxnly else, you’re the one who’s losing ground. Homemaking, under Mrs. Ethelyn McPheeters, prepares girls for the responsibility of running a house- hold, and includes cooking, furnishing, and even budgeting. We often marvel at the beautiful woodworking done by the students of Mr. Kenneth I-age, who turn out polished cedar chests, and tables, and chairs. They often start with tie-racks, corner shelves, and lamp bases, which shows the extent of training. Training for future draftsmen is provided by Mechanical Drawing under the supervision of Mr. William Cleveland. Printing, under Mr. Donovan Ingles, is a class which puts their skill to service for the school. Those little blue tardy slips are products of room 115. as are the programs for all school productions, and tickets for the dances. Besides the training they receive, both girls and boys find the Industrial Arts interesting and fun, a credit to these fine teachers. our hands and build our bodies This year Miss Heller and Miss Krajewski directed the girl's physical education program. Its purpose is to give the girls a chance for active partici- pation and good posture through team sports, stunts and dancing. PHYSICAL EDUCATION DEPARTMENT Junior girls are required to pass the Standard Course in American Red Cross First Aid. while Senior girls take the Red Cross Home Nursing Course. On the other hand those crimson-faced, panting boys whom we find completing a weary lap around the track are probably the losers of a gym class compe- tition. Under the direction of Mr. Guy Wellman, and Mr. Jim Stahl, the lx vs physical education classes cause the gym to resound with the cadence of calcs- thenics or the grunts of wrestling. Warm weather brings softball, soccer, and the sound of lusty cheers, all of which help to develop team spirit. p Mi� Leigh Heller Mi� Irene Krajowiki 23 Mr. Jeme Slahl Mr. Guy Wellman FACULTY Mr. Merlin Schultz Mr. Charles Britten Mr. Everett Holt Mitt Louise Killie Muscle-bound Oscar and friends NATURAL SCIENCE Providing a well-rounded science program D.G.H.S. offers a variety of courses in that field. The underclassmen learn the elements of science and observe nature at work. Biology provides a closer look at the structure of “those little cells” and an oppor- tunity to become acquainted with George, the biology working dummy. Upperclassmen advance to bigger things literally, for a trip to 318 will bring to light a twelve-foot slide rule which physics students use. A look around would seem to disprove the motto that the basic laws of science are learned with no fuss, no muss, no lx ther”, for pulleys and cables, electrical apparatus and gravity set-ups dominate the scene. The Chemistry room also has a distinctive air about it — until one becomes accustomed to it. Here students perform experiments and gain valuable practical experience. Science is an ever-widening field and D.G.H.S. is preparing scientists for the future. 24 Mr. Eugene Regal Mr . Helen Cleveland Mit R. B. Howland Mr. Harry Paulin Mr. Arthur Rawer BUSINESS FOREIGN LANGUAGE Some of the most immediately valuable courses of instruction at Downers arc offered by the Business Department. Students who elect shorthand, typing, and accounting are prepared completely for secretarial positions. In law and economics classes, instruction is given in the basic principles that regulate our economy, and students learn how industry provides the world with the goods it needs. In May, business students made a trip to Chicago to attend the Office Machine Show which was spon- sored by the Chicago Area Business Education Associ- ation. It proved very interesting and valuable, for the department keeps its students posted on the most up- to-date methods. Remember the Foreign Language teachers who worked so hard to explain to us the confusing gram- mar and the endless vocabularies of French, Latin, Spanish, and German? Remember the long evenings trying to fathom the meaning of a complicated translation, or struggling to master the subjunctive, or the conditional? Remember Miss Howland’s lapsing into a Spanish lecture, only to discover that she was speaking to her French class? Studying a language did more than just give us a new set of words to use. It broadened our minds as well as improved our English and lent interest to our historical and scientific language studies. 25 ? Sabe ustedes?

In 207. the principals office, the secretaries are always busy, for their work includes, handling correspond- ence. processing purchase orders, securing substitutes, and preparing the faculty payroll. They make up the eligibility lists, and keep the permanent records of all the students. Supervising activities in 205 and in 203 are the counsellors secretaries. Their many duties include handling correspondence, changing schedules, attend- ance records, guidance activities, and personal date — besides mailing diagnostic reports. Performing an invaluable service to the school are the librarians, who are in charge of managing the library efficiently. They help students with research work and keep an up-to-date reference section. SPECIAL SERVICES DEPARTMENT Did you say Unieuropean impulses?

Delicious aromas tantalize and tease the palate, pre- cipitating a general rush when the lunch bell rings, of those lucky people who enjoy first lunch. There is always enough for those of us who must wait, how- ever, ami the pleasant cooks smile at our impatience. Our thanks go to Miss Goodman, head of the Cafeteria, and to the ladies of her staff. Keeping the gears of the school well-oiled is the main job of our efficient custodians. Headed by Mr. Leverenz, the staff swept, emptied, waxed, polished, washed, replaced, repaired, painted, dusted, and. in general kept the school running smoothly. Then there were always broken ink Ixttles and stublxmi lockers to Ik dealt with as well as furniture to lx moved, machinery installed, plumbing and wiring to be kept in good condition and holiday decorations to lx re- moved. To our men and women behind the scenes, we extend our appreciation for the commendable job they are doing. Back row: Mr. R. Powell; Mr. G. Pappas; Mr. L. Riske; Mr. A. Mallory Front row: Mr. J.

Proudly clad in cap and gown, wc, the Class of ’56, look hack on a full school year, a little sadly, but with deep satisfaction for a job well done. Anxious to keep up the fine scholastic record we set as underclassmen, we Seniors studied hard and fruitfully, and fared well on the Illinois Constitution Test, a credit to our fine teachers. Not lax socially, the Senior Class presented “Silver Holiday, the winter formal, which proved to lx the most complete success ever. Athletically we did well, showing unity as a team and school spirit as enthusiastic fans. In February we were measured for graduation rolx-s and we realized how quickly the months were fleeting — and that we’d soon be passing for the last time as students. Now, bidding farewell to the school, and students and faculty mcmlx rs whom we have come to know so well, we thank you all for providing us with warm memories which we will always keep. 30 £Cecti(M ...

JUNIORS B. Walker, V-Pres.; B. Jensen, Sec.; D. Keough, Pres.; J. Kay, Treas. .,. Oo i Socialiter Among the up and coming teen-agers in our album are the members of the Junior Class, an out- standing and cohesive group in school. Well represented in every sport, these upperclass- men arc both leaders and followers in all school activities. Consistently first or second on the honor roll, the Juniors further demonstrated their scholastic ability on the University of Illinois Aptitude tests. On the social side, their well-attended Junior Class party was an over-whelming success, for these enthusiastic students work well and rewardingly to- gether in everything they do. 56 Abbott, Mary Adams, Charles Adams, Martha Aikins, Sue Amundson, Dave Andelhradt, Chas.

Now, as Sophomores, we have been quite active in school life, with a good percentage participating in clubs, sports, and school services. Our class has held its own scholastically; athleti- cally we have contributed our talents generously, both on the field of battle anti as supporters in the stands. Carnival provided ample opportunity for us to display our various talents in the stage show and l chind the scenes, while the “Sophomore Sock Hop” attested to our success as a class. 64 Adamih, Emelie Adams, Rosemary Agonath, Judy Abnvig, David Andcl.

Black, Treasurer; K. Lutgens, President; R. Samuel, Vice-President; J. Pombcrt, Secretary ,,, ftiratt i fo 'pcctceie 'pome Although the first year in high school is the hard- est, we Freshmen can proudly say we have made the most of it. Once over the confusing beginning, we settled down to the task of proving to the rest of the school that we “59 cr’s” could profit from our intro- ductory experiences. Among our numerous achievements is that of excellent participation in athletics and athletic events. Our school spirit has also been worthy of notice. In spite of studies and homework many of us have joined clubs and are off to a good start in extra-curricular participation. 72 Abbott. Margie Adams, Sandy Andclbradt. IVggy Anderson, Betty Anderson.

After months of preparation the big week-end was ushered in by a bonfire, pep rally, and snake dance on October 21. Although the football game was disappointingly lost to Hinsdale, DGHSs traditional rivals, the parade and dance, highlighted by the coronation of queen, pretty Nancy Dixon, and her court, contributed to a Homecoming that will live always in our high school memories.

Carnival was successfully presented November 17 and 18 by the students of DGHS. “Contrasts,” the stage show, with a cast of three hundred under the able direction of Mrs. Lois Dahl, was an unforgettable production. Representatives from the four classes contributed their talents. Several clubs organized booths for side-show attractions, notably Drama Club’s night club which expanded to include half the gym and produced a fine floor show, and the Y-Teens Chuck Wagon which sold refreshments.

The story deals with a group of girls and their instructor who became lost at night on the island. When the final curtain is pulled, the mystery of the island is solved. The play provides practical experience, not only for its actors, but for the backstage and make-up crews who contributed an integral part of the play’s success.

Beginning with the Freshman party, which helps these new students to feel class unity, the Council performed services to the school in many and varied ways. Members acted as hosts and hostesses at after- game mixers, and promoted good relations lx tween D.G. and the Conference schools. At Homecoming they organized the Ixmfire and led the snake dance, a big job in itself with so many of DCIIS’s sixteen-hundred students out to cheer the football team. It was Council, too, that brought back Barbeque Thursday, and instituted record and dance sessions in the auditorium during lunch periods. The turnabout dance, “Catch’em and Patch’em” was presented in the early Spring. The annual West Suburban Conference was held here in the Spring, with representatives from the Conference discussing mutual problems. Summarily, Student Council has done a fine job in promoting a better school and good citizenship at D.C.H.S. D.A.R ...our colonial heritage Each year the D.A.R. bestows upon an outstand- ing Senior girl the D.A.R. award of good citizenship. This award is based on leadership, dependability, honesty, and service. The Senior Class elects three candidates for the honor, the final selection being made by the faculty. The three finalists this year were Dot Rekstad, Ginnv Witt, and Nancy Dixon. The final choice of the faculty was Dot Rekstad, Senior Class President. Ia-ft to right: Nancy Dixon. Virginia Witt, Dorothy Rekstcd. This year's winner of DAR was Dorothy Rekstcd. Each of the members of this society receives the Cold Torch Emblem of the National Honor Society. This award, presented to fifteen per cent of the upper third of the Senior Class, represents four years of scholarship, service, honesty, character, and leader- ship. This coveted honor goes to those who may be the future leaders of their community. NATIONAL HONOR SOCIETY Top row I to r: J. Campbell, C. Fridley, C. Flowers. C. Hoffman, G. Trapp, B. Bristol, D.

The gold pin award represents months of labor, dead- lines, late copy, and the great relief felt when the issue is complete. Those honored will always look back, however, to short tempers and frayed nerves with pleasant memories and a feeling of accomplishment. The nominations for 1956 included members of Cauldron, High Life and Trojan. Nancy Kier, Associate Editor Clyde Flowers, Business Manager It's been a long, long day 94 THE 1956 CAULDRON STAFF Recorders of our High School Year It is with relief, a little sorrow, and a great deal of pride that we look hack on a frenzied, but enjoyable year. Beginning in July of 1955, the staff began to meet and accomplished much in the way of foundation for the '56 yearbook, such as choosing a theme, classifying headings, and such work as could lx done before school began. In September, equipped with a new advisor, who learned as we did — through trial and error — we began our actual work. Sales, underclass pictures, and planning the dummy copy occupied most of the first semester for the literary staff, while the business staff was working on a new innovation which would enable us to make the book larger, advertising. Immediately following Christmas vacation, we settled down to the actual composing of the lxx k. Each page had to lx? indi- vidually made up in triplicate, typed, and sent to the engraver. Pictures had to lx captioned, ads sold, and copy written. We were fast approaching our March deadline. Ixmg were the hours we spent, making mistakes and rectifying them, debating various problems which rose rather often, and making up in zeal what we lacked in experience. Now with our project complete, we extend our sincere thanks to our two advisors who have made this an interesting and valuable experience, Mr. Charles Lawburgh and Mr. George Pappas.

News is compiled with the help of the reporters. Then the real work begins — stories are edited; copy is proof- read; headlines are written; the dummy is made. The paper is financed by the Activity Plan, Daffo- dil Day, the sale of carnations on Valentines Day, and advertisements obtained from local merchants. This important part of publishing is handled by the Busi- ness Staff under the direction of Miss Betty Lee Chess- man. Art work is done by Miss Velma Dickson with the help of her art students. Eighth period found these literary-minded stu- dents diligently striving to make their deadline and to get the paper out on time. Our thanks for a job well done 1 lliuh Life: 1st row I., to R. C.

It functions to give would-be writers an opportunity to have their crea- tions published, and includes contributions from the fields of poetry, short stories, and essays. Staff members have a difficult time selecting the best manu- scripts from the hundreds submitted. While the literary staff was occupied with make- up. the business staff was busy conducting a sales campaign, and the art staff judged artistic contribu- tions, all under the advisorship of Mrs. Priscilla Siek and Miss Velma Dickson. It's been a very busy year for them, but a very successful one. Staff heads: Literary Editor. Judy Van Selow Business Manager, Norman Lopez Art Editor, Carole Kruse 97 Perusing the product on stage, in the pit, and on the field ORCHESTRA Our orchestra has made a fine record under the direction of Mr. John Svoboda. First and second periods. Mr. Svoboda offers students private instruc- tions on string instruments. He prepares the orchestra for their public appearances, including concerts at school productions and contests, during third period. Like the hand, our 1956 orchestra is a state champion- ship organization. BAND Mr. Clarence Shoemaker, who has had outstand- ing hands for many years, devotes two periods a day to meet the demands of students desiring to play an instrument. He rehears-s the concert band first period daily to prepare for their numerous performances, which include athletic events, assemblies, formal con- certs and contests. Second period he teaches students with some playing ability who may advance to the concert hand with sufficient technical development. It may truly lx said that few organizations have brought more recognition and honor to Downers Grove Community High School than our State cham- pionship band. Nor have many given more musical pleasure to their listeners than this noteworthy group.

Xordin Vocal Wu6ic ...in blended harmony A CAPPELLA Choral singing is one of the most highly de- veloped and l cnntifnl types of music, requiring skill, finely attuned response between director and choir — and a certain intangible something that is the differ- ence between singing and real music. The Downers Grove A Cappella Choir has these, and one of the finest directors, we feel, that its podium has ever produced. Miss Barbara Barnes arrived from Sheridan. Wyoming, last fall, and in a few short months, pro- duct'd a really fine choir, to which fact local organi- zations can attest. Among their numerous concerts was “November Notes.” Miss Barnes’ choir debut, the first of many successful performances, letter the Choir sang for the Lion’s Club, and at Christmas, presented the annual concert, and caroled in town. February found them honored by lx ing asked to sing at the Congress Motel for the Tri-County Association of High School Administrators. Their harried schedule reached a new climax this month. One evening they gave two concerts: one for the Kiwanis, and the second, entail- ing a fast trip up the block, for the D.A.R. Association. A heavy schedule was planned for Spring, with the West Suburban Music Festival at York presenting nine numbers to Ik learned, and the operetta, “The Vagalwmd King.” Reluctantly they finished an inspiring musical year singing at Senior Recognition, the Baccalaureate Service, and finally. Commencement. B A Cappella is the final stepping stone to Choir, and includes fine singers who aspire toward “Ac. This chorus often learns the same numbers which Choir is singing, and they perform at some concerts. “Novem- Imt Notes,” the fall concert, was B Ac’s first appear- ance, and also included the girls' and boys' glee clubs. B Ac’s musical presentation of Fred Warings’ arrangement “The Night Before Christmas” was met with real ovation, a reception which confirmed the skill and co-ordinance which the group has achieved. 100 A Cappella Top row.

CLINIC F.T.A., under the direction of Miss Almalee Greenlee, is open to all upperclassmen interested in teaching as a career. Its purpose is to learn about the opportunities in teaching, to cultivate the qualities essential in a good teacher, and to hasten the develop- ment of student leadership. Besides doing cadet teach- ing in the grade schools, members tutor many high school students who need help in their studies. Remember that wayward volleyball and the subse- quent sprained thumb? Recall that headache ’round about term paper time? These minor ailments and more were just cause for a trip to the Clinic. With Miss Myrna Beck and her efficient aids ministering, pains were soon set right and your stop at 201 was often pleasant. Often more serious mishaps were tended expertly — a tribute to a well-organized clinic, ready for any emergency. F.N.A. CHESS CLUB Future Nurses of America, one of our newer clubs, stimulates interest in the nursing profession. During their general meetings, held the first Tues- day of each month, the girls had numerous speakers. Ia‘d by Nan Frey, president; Judy Green, vice presi- dent; Carol Bertha, secretary; Judy Bogus, treasurer; Val Hinton, program ;and assisted by Mrs. Cleveland — Future Nurses was a rapidly growing club of our school. Chess Club, one of our newest oragnizations, offers lx th beginners and experienced chess players an opportunity to meet and to play once a week against equally adept members. Under the direction of their sponsor, Mr. Henry Paulin, the club has grown to twenty active members. Their matches, always involving a great deal of thought and skill, sometimes last several meetings. After a year’s practice, the winners of the final round-robin tournament arc awarded chess sets for their ability. 106 CLUBS Clubs which develop our skills and talents Clinic Helpers Seated, I-. t« It.: G.

The smaller clubs which together make up Y-teens are Charm Club, which holds an annual style show, Travel Club, which frequently visits places of interest, and Social Service Club, which makes up Thanksgiv- ing baskets for the needy. An important part of the organization is the Matin Service, held every second Tuesday; it is the bond which unites all the various branches into the one strong organization that is Y-teens.

In the fall members worked on a Homecoming float, and shortly afterwards devoted their full atten- tion to Carnival. This year instead of the usual booth. Art Club worked with several other organizations in presenting the Travel Inn” nightclub. They did all the art work of the Inn.” Spring activities included several discussion meet- ings on art phases such as mosiac art and modern trends in paintings. An annual sketching trip was also on the agenda. Library Aids The Library Aids, under the able direction of M iss Celia Natzke, compose one of the service groups active at Downers. Their services include: page work, shelving, mending, alphabetizing, and repairing lx oks ; and magazines. They also keep an accurate account ■ of all the books in the library and know just how many arc missing. Although they do not hold any meetings, they are a well-organized group working for the betterment of our school library. Audio-Visual Aids Undoubtedly the most welcome sight to many of o :r students :s that of A.V.A. members coming into a classroom with a roll of film a id a projector. In addi- tion to this popular service, the lx ys are also in charge of sound equipment at assemblies and other programs, and they operate the new high-fidelity phonograph at the mixers after basketball games. Although the club has difficulty in arranging regu- lar meetings with full attendance, due to a variety of different individual schedules, its members are doing an excellent job. Under the able direction of Mr. William Cleveland, faculty advisor, this group is to be commended for its fine service to the school. Stage Crew B.'hind the scene of every high school production are the Ixiys in the Stage Crew. To them goes the job of building and erecting the various props and scenery, and controlling the lights and curtains to bring out the desired effects. The lx ys also assist in the preparations for dances and other activities by building any needed equipment. ’IV) this group and their director, Mr. Kenneth Lage, go our sincere thanks for making our produc- tions so successful. 113 COMMERCIAL CLUB Bottom row, I. to r.: J.

Sponsored by Miss Nellie Flush, the group enjoyed varied activities, including a Christmas party and a trip to the Telephone Com- pany. which proved to be interesting as well as a worth-while experience. Bit and Spur Club “Equestrian ability and “horse sense are the aims of the Hit and Spur Club, organized by and for those who enjoy horses here at D. G. Under the direc- tion of Mr. Charles Brittan, the group learned the grooming and care of their equine pest, as well as how to ride well. Officers were Barb Koltz, president, Judy McCleery. vice-president, and Phyllis Hagcdorn, sec- retary. A trip to the International Live Stock Show in December was planned by Joan Knott, program chair- man, while a polo game in the Spring highlighted a very successful year for Bit and Spur. Service Club Service Club differs from other clubs in school in that it has no officers, meetings, or advisors. Some of its memljers are students who give their free time to help in the deans’ offices to write pass slips, to keep records and to take telephone messages. Another group, the library aids arc of invaluable help to Miss Celia Xatzkc, head librarian. Hall monitors and lab assistants are two other groups, the latter helping in the physics and chemistry laboratories. Their service to the school is sincerely appreciated. Camera Club Aside from being one of the most interesting organizations in school. Camera Club provides experi- ence which oftc‘n proves valuable in the careers of its shutter-bugs. Impressive is their knowledge of terms such as “potassium thiosulfate” and “emulsion speed” and “F-stops”, as they put their knowledge to practical use. Under the advisorship of Mr. Everett Holt, two contests were held for aspirors to photographic fame, and winning shots were displayed on school bulletin boards.

Be- hind this entreaty were our cheerleaders who have followed our team everywhere, lending their support and encouraging ours. We’ll always remember our cheerleaders as an indispensable part of our team. Pep Club Despite a change in sponsors early in the year. Pep Club contributed its support to school spirit. Almost two hundred students joined the organization, and for the first time, membership cards were issued. Pep Club started the year’s activities by decorating the goal posts for every game and by selling programs at home football games. The first mixers after basketball games were also sponsored by this organization. Miss Leigh Heller undertook the sponsorship dur- ing the second semester, and under her leadership and that of the officers. Pep Club collaborated with “D” Club in presenting the “Varsity Hop,” their annual dance. D Club An honorary organization, the purpose of “D” Club is to promote good sportsmanship and to better techniques in school sports. Its members are varsity letter winners who have participated in any sport. In conjunction with Pep Club, they sponsored the “D” Dance, which was held January 28th. National Athletic Scholarship Society Combining brains and brawn are the members of the National Athletic Scholarship Society. Encourag- ing athletes to keep up with their studies, it accepts only boys who have a scholastic average of “B” or better, and who have earned a letter in sports.

Planning and directing the years activities is the job of the GAA Board, under the advisorship of Miss Irene Krajewski. The sports program, directed by Sue Brundage, included speed ball, basketball, volleyball, and Ijowling, as well as tennis and archery tourna- ments. Daddy-Daughter Night, a newly-instituted activ- ity, was wholly successful and will Ik accepted as an annual function. Initiation. both formal and informal, was held in February, combining fun and honor for those girls who had earned the required activity points. At the GAA Spring dance, “Moonlight and Roses the cup winner. Barb Bertotti, was announced. Barb had done the most outstanding work in GAA during her four years, and was so honored. May found girls from eight schools participating in the GAA Play Night, which was held this vear at DCHS. Dedicated to good sportsmanship and teamwork, GAA is remembered by its members for many pleasant and instructive hours. LEADERS' CLUB Distinctive in their blue shorts, white blouses, and whistles, are the ten memlx. rs of Leaders’ Club. Under the direction of Miss Irene Krajewski. the leaders assist the Physical Education instructors in gym classes and after-school sports.

Under the direction and aid of Mr. Glen Olncy, they captured an impressive array of victories and trophies. In November they started their collection by taking second at the Evanston Tourna- ment and followed it up by a first at the DeKalb competition in December. At Navy Pier, likewise, they took first. The Sophomores. t x , have held their own, winning first in their division and taking a second at the Blue Island tournament. March brought the state sectional tournament, in which Downers took top laurels. With hopes high they prepared for the Illinois state meet, their final debate, and at stake, the state championship. 120 In Memory of Mr. William G. Pohlmann Early this spring Mr. William G. Pohlmann passed away after an illness of fifteen months. Formerly head of the vocal music department, he was well-liked by students and faculty. One of his greatest contributions was made as director of the A Cappella Choir, which has been organized since 1930, when Mr. Pohlmann first came to Downers Grove. He arranged many of the musical selec- tions for Choir performances and wrote beautiful music of his own. among which is the Downers Grove High School Alma Mater. One of his best-remembered pieces is “Music of Life.” which can better express his inspiring philosophy of life than anything else: Let all my life be music. Ah. let the heart of me be as a harp Where joy and pain are blended harmony. Strike, strike the harp that is my soul. Though pain and joy it bring. My only sorrow to be dumb. My only joy to sing. And when the Great Musician plays In notes of joy or fxiin. Then let my heart sing. Then let my heart respond and sing. Though in a minor strain, A living song, a rapt'rous song, A wondrous song, oh, send! Then on a thrilling major chord There let life end.” 121 Lusty cheers, triumphant victories, and good-natured defeats... ATHLETICS FOOTBALL, VARSITY SEASON SCORES I). C. 13 I). G. 19 D. C. 13 D.

Starting poorly with a non-conference loss to Naperville, the Trojans came back to defeat a tough opponent. La Grange, for the second consecutive year. After tying 13-13, the team dropped its remaining games, none, however, with the exception of the Hinsdale game, by a crushing score. John Sienkowski, Ed Grube, and Harold Krause were elected to the all-conference team. Since thirteen Juniors received letters this year, promise of a better season next year brings hope to the football horizon. L. Brudcr, I). Benson Frosh-Soph.

Though they did not retain last year’s championship, they played fine football throughout the season and helped to preserve their coach’s enviable record in the coaching of team sports at D.G.H.S.

Even with this win to help build the team's morale, the Trojans, however, dropped three consecu- tive games to Rich, La Grange, and Glenbard. After clowning Wheaton by a narrow margin, the D.G. Trojans fell to the Arlington Heights and Riverside- Brookfield teams. Our steadily improving team, how- ever, then went on its first winning spree of the season, defeating East Aurora, Glenbard, Arlington, and Riverside-Brookfield in that order before l eing edged by Hinsdale by a single point. York was then defeated for the sixth straight time during the past three years (Coach Wellman's teams have not lost to the Dukes since his first year as basketball mentor at D.G.). Out of the last eight games, the conference’s most im- proved team, the Trojans of Downers Grove, won five, playing much of the time as well as our last year’s championship team. Individual honors went to Elton O’Byrne. Gary Fridley, and Don Bonomini. Elton, the second leading scorer and finest relxnmder in the conference, was chosen center on the all-conference squad, Gary was elected team captain at the season’s end, and Don was given honorable mention as forward on the all-confer- ence unit. The Frosh-Soph began the season in excellent spirit by winning seven out of their first ten games. The three losses came at the hands of La Grange, Arlington Heights, and Glenbard. However, in tin second round of conference play, they dropped four in a row to La Grange, East Aurora. Glenbard, and Arlington Heights, l efore downing Riverside-Brook- field by ten points. The final conference game of the season found Maine beaten by five points, ending the Ponies' season with a season record of six wins and eight losses. The team captured second in the county tourney, however, and as usual a Carstens-coached team had a winning season.

Although the harriers didn’t have a very impres- sive season, several individual exploits gave the Downers fans something to remember. Herb Ehningcr. with the pack far behind, was first to cross the finish line in a dual meet with La Grange. Nevertheless, we lost for lack of depth, as we «lid five other dual meets. Downers’ only win was over R-B, 19-44 on the victor’s course. This was coach McCloud’s first season. In the All-Conference meet. Downers came in seventh. In the district meet at Hinsdale, Downers took sixth out of fourteen places. All the teams that scored higher in this meet were from the W.S.C., proving how strong our conference competition was. For tlu first time. Frosh-soph competition in cross country was held. Dave Larson of Downers won easily by covering the 1.7 mile course at Spring Park in I-a Grange in 9:13. The team championship went to La Grange with 44 points; Maine was second with 57, Downers third with 60. just for sport lA-tkA fv-a-V dUj 't£' . I • V. v V.

In the first year, the squad lost all of its meets under the guidance of Mr. Robert Therry. It won two and tied one out of the twelve meets during its second year, Mr. Merlin Schultz having succeeded Mr. Therry at the helm. Mr. Schultz’s prowess as a coach and the excellence of his material became evident this year when the Trojan grapplers won five of their fourteen meets. The wrestling squad had ten letter winners. Among these. Ralph Ravenschlag, Don Miner, John Exner and John Scanlon are two-year letter winners. Mr. Schultz’s squad produced two outstanding grapplers, John Exner. who came in second in the sectionals, and Denny Weiss, who came in first in the sectional and who won his first match in the state finals held at Proviso. at Downers gains fans Crossing the bar TRACK ...in which teamwork The 1955 track season is one tlu Varsity Trojans found rather disappointing. Winning two out of four dual meets, and doing poorly at the Conference meet, the Stahl-mcn dropped to last place in the final West Suburban standings. The team wa sone of depth rather than stars, as was shown by a third place performance in the annual Hinsdale Relays, where all events are combined efforts. Trojan captain was Ron Clendenning, who barely plays an important part missed a chance to participate in the state track meet as a quarter-miler. Also prominent were Tom Brown, hurdler; John Lukes, weightman; and Harry Mc- Laughlin and Jim Mchaffcy, high jumpers. The Frosh-Soph boys were more fortunate, win- ning four of seven dual meets and coping third place right behind La Grange in the conference meet. In this meet. Iairrv Brudcr won the broad jump and Jim Kay took the high hurdles. 130 Carsten's Putters Good Sports GOLF AND TENNIS . . . tee-men in action and the racquet squad The five returning lettermen from last year's squad will form the heart of the Downers Grove golf squad. Even though the squad worked hard during the year, they were only able to place fifth in the conference. With the returning letter winners and up-coming numeral winners, Downers Grove can expect a better year. The golf squad again will be under the fine coaching of Mr. Carstcns. Coach Rawers began his tennis team’s work early in March with practicing in the gym. Dave Panck, Tom Johnson, Steve Pinkstaff, C' . n Trapp, and John McChesney, our returning lettermen, did an excellent job. but this was not sufficient to keep the Trojans in the first division. In our strong confer- ence with its keen competition, Downers Grove placed seventh. With our promising numeral winners, the Trojan tennis squad is planning for a better season next year. 131 Top row: X. Sii-vers, mjjr.; I.. Wyllie, 1 . Vi , I). SiedentOp, E. Weiskopf, F. Novotny, |.

We took eleven victories, as against only three losses in Conference games. In non-Confcrence competition, the team won six games and lost two. In the District Tournament, Downers Grove won all its games, adding one more trophy to what was almost a “Trophy Year ' at D.G.H.S. In the Sectional Tourna- ment, however, we were defeated by Joliet who advanced to the state contest. With a few juniors returning, another good season is expected in 1956.
