And sitting by desolate streams; World-losers and world-forsakers. On whom the pale moon gleams: Yet we are the movers and shakers Of the world forever, it seems. With wonderful deathless ditties We build up the world's great cities. And out of a fabulous story We fashion an empire's glory: One man with a dream, at pleasure. Shall go forth and conquer a crown; And three with a new song's measure Can trample a kingdom down. ' . M - A breath of our inspiration Is the life of each generation; A wondrous thing of our dreaming Unearthly, impossible seeming — The soldier, the king, and the peasant Are working together in one. Till our dream shall become their present. And their work in the world be done. — Ode by Arthur O'Shaughnessy ysy '1 A- Asfc'jtfu rs) - 3Y ‘ ■ ____ (n T3nr4¥T wV l Y£’D'an c y-r } ■ ' V ' The 795?

Oh What “A Wonderful We are proud to dedicate the 1957 Cauldron to Mr. John C. Svoboda. He, with a special flair, skillfully combines pleasure and work. Always eager to help stu- dents, Mr. Svoboda is respected and admired by - everyone. He could easily be called Mr. Music for he not only is a musician — playing many ■■■■■■■■■■■■■ instruments, but he also is an interpreter — in- '__ • stilling the pleasure of music in his students' y?? Devoting part of his time to the grade schools and part to the junior high, he trains and de- vr elops future members of the high school orchestra. Four years he has taken this orchestra o the Illinois High School Music Contest, and each year it has received a superior rating, a tribute to him and to the school. ■- ♦ i rt‘ School days, school clays, clear old golden ride clays” “As that authentic?” r • - — -� C5 - 6 y-� -crvN X) a«JL vh Preamble to a tardy one £2_e ) ® trtowners High, 4- d r r-fi to thee ice raise _ V u t o tefiil hearts our song of praise u - D Ac ) h to thee ei lasfingivyalty. vyx1 U ' V—«• O LAJi K anc My Shadow Between quarters'relaxat, ADMINISTRATION Downers directors capably conduct students in school life BOARD OF EDUCATION Mr. Donn Armstrong.

Because nearly every DGHS student has taken advantage of the courses offered in band, orches- tra, chorus, and arts and crafts, this department is also an active one in extra-curricular activities. Its aim is to provide a well-rounded back- ground in the culture and appreciation of art and music, as well as teaching the techniques and skills of these subjects. 19 practical arts t Mr. J.

Delectable odors are obvious by-products of the cooking and baking done in 102. Courses in the practical arts provide experi- ence for the draftsmen, carpenters, printers, and homemakers of the future. It's really very simple. physical education Point your toes was an expression commonly heard in the physical education classes when students received instruction in the trampoline. Under the direction of Mr. Guy Wellman, department head, the physical education department provided en- joyment and healthful activity for all pupils. Freshmen and sophomores entered into baseball, basketball, and volleyball games, while all juniors were instructed in the fundamentals of first aid. Senior boys and girls were taught the proper use of gymnastic, j U j apparatus. Mr. Guy I.. Wellman.

Freshmen may take general science or biology. To upperclassmen belong the privilege of enrolling in the physical science courses-physical science, chemistry, or physics. Under Mr. Everett Holt, department head, students learn the practicality of science, basic precepts for pro- fessional and college training, and the scientific method of reasoning.

The commercial department prepares pupils for busi- ness careers. Freshmen and sophomores may enroll in general business or personal typing. Juniors and seniors may specialize in typing, stenography, office practice, accounting, commercial law, and or economics. Office practice students help the school by typing tests, class lists, and organization ballots. French, Latin, Spanish, and German are the second tongues of many lingusitic students. It was the foreign language teachers who guided many through the perils and pitfalls of subjunctives, verbals, and conditionals. Their endless patience must have been often tried with very un-French-like pronunciations and the forgetful- ness of the most elementary vocabulary. Languages, however, gave more than grammar and foreign phrases. They indoctrinated students with the culture and history of people of other civilizations and coun- tries. Mr. Harry W. Paulin.

Throughout the day custodians hear:: Is there a janitor on the third floor . . . Would you please open room 212. I left my books there. In addition to helping students, the custodial staff works around the clock to repair and clean the build- ing and campus. Hats off to the custodians who, in spite of crowded conditions, again did an excellent job. 25 “You’re Just Too Marvelous, Too Marvelous for Words’ Joining forces to promote the welfare of youth in home, school, church, and community, the PTA strives to bring the home and the school into a closer relation- ship.

Under the baton of the very able Mr. John Svoboda this organization rendered one of the most difficult of all forms of music — the symphony. However, a repertoire including popular and semi-classical music was presented as accom- paniment to senior and all-school plays, carnival, and the Christmas program. In the spring, the orchestra journeyed to the state contest, trying to equal its previous year's victorious record. 31 Plink, plank, plunk JcJ _ | (a Ci y tC Jd vocal music oJUL JM jjjL It - dr L “With a Song in My Meart lA -e 2.

Miss Barbara Barnes spent much time aiding the choir in perfecting their sight-reading, tone quality, and pitch in preparation for the May state contest. In April, the choir participated in the West Suburban Music Festival held at River- TV side-Brookfield. A-Cappella closed their musical year with per- formances at Senior Recognition, the Baccalaure- ate Service, and Commencement. Seventh period every day Advanced Mixed Chorus works at improving musical qualities necessary for advancing into A-Cappella Choir.

With high hopes for a good and prosperous season the Downers boys had the willingness to win. Un- fortunately the injuries of several valuable players caused the D G varsity squad to win only 2 games and drop five, putting them in a tie for fifth place. Even after the setback of injuries, Downers continued to be rough competition. A late change in fortune gave the Trojans a tremendous victory over York by a score of 41-0 in the season's final game. Coaches Jim Stahl and Guy Wellman are to be com- mended for the many outstanding players they have trained. Three D G gridders, Larry Buder, John Ungrodf, and Denny Weise were named to the all-conference team. Jack Blaa, Bunny Epach, Darryl Jelinek, Glenn Landgraf, and John Spencer received Honorable Men- tion on this same team. Taking their second West Suburban Conference title in three years, the frosh-soph Ponies coached by Dick Tiger Carstens concluded their season undefeated in eight games. Their record was marred only by a score- less tie with Maine early in the season. Combining a fast hard hitting offense with a stone-wall defense, the Ponies outplayed their opposition week-end after week-end. Much of the credit due to the Ponies success should go to the Tiger, who consistently develops excellent frosh-soph football teams. Also deserving of praise is Coach Warren Holbrook, who with Carstens helped build the champs. From their title-winning squad the Ponies chose three co-captains, Lafe Spencer, Pete Barenbrugge, and Denny Hauflaire. 60 Him Mr. Touchdown Fifth Row: Coach Jim Stahl. l on Jahnkr. Pete Marchiamlo.

Winning six rough West Suburban Conference meets, they captured second place. By placing second in the district meet, the thinclads qualified for participation in the state tournament.

A man who works hard to build top-notch teams, and who has excellent athletic material, usually turns out squads that win. The truth of this has been proved several times during the last few years here at Downers. Mr. Guy Wellman is, of course, the coach we are referring to, and Downers Grove athletes are the excellent material. The proof: two first division finishes in varsity basketball during the last three seasons, one an undisputed championship. This year's squad had hopes of winning the cham- pionship, but found the West Suburban Conference rougher than ever. The Downers team was good, but was unable to overcome the height advantages of York and Glenbard who finished first and second respectively. The Trojans wound up in third place with a 9-5 WSC mark. Toward the end of the season the Trojans were led by juniors Ray Paulsey and Wes Peiffer at forwards, Ken Lutgens, all-conference selection, at center, and Darryl Jelinek, team captain, and Norm Gorecki at guards. Gale Peiffer, a senior, and Will Bandes, a junior, came through with some good clutch perform- ances. In district play the Trojans defeated Reavis 50-33 and in the semi-finals routed the Lions 73-61. In the finals the boys were overpowered by the red-hot Morton Mustangs, 72-54. Guy Wellman is expecting a fine team next year, and backing of the students should help tremendously. Good luck to a top-notch coach who has led Downers Grove varsity basketball teams to over forty wins in the past three seasons. Coach Dick Carsten's Ponies broke even with a 10-10 record this year. They tied for fourth place with Glen- bard in West Suburban play. The team, possessing height as well as spirit, was led by John Marker; Dave Current, leading Pony scorer; and Denny Hauflaire. The Ponies were a hard- working group this year and it looks as though the future of basketball at Downers Grove high school is unlimited. Before leaving this important winter sport, gratitude goes also to Mr. James Lind, who gave fine scouting assistance to both basketball coaches.

Weise, defending 175 lb. sectional champion, led the team in the number of wins. Smith and Glenn Marx were elected co-captains at the close of the season. 69 baseball Take Me Out to the Ball Game Right after the completion of the basketball season. Coach Guy Wellman opened baseball practice. With a handful of veterans and a group of willing rookies , the team opened the sea- son with high hope for a successful campaign. Play was ragged in the early part of the season, but the players developed a sense of teamwork, and Coach Wellman had another contender for the West Suburban Baseball Championship. In the middle of the season, his team moved into the thick of the fight, and as the season moved toward its completion, they took over the lead and won the championship. For Mr. Wellman and Downers Grove's varsity baseball players, this was the second West Suburban champion- ship in the last three seasons. the champions then moved on to Plainfield, where they captured the district round-robin. Their tournament play ended when they were beaten by Proviso in the Elgin Sectional. All-Conference pitcher Bing Prucha led the Trojans to the top with a big assist from Tom Kalahar and Daryl Siedentop, the team's leading hitters. Warren Holbrook's frosh-soph squad had a rough but rewarding season in the West Sub- urban Conference.

It represents frantic minutes spent in choosing pictures, sell- ing ads, and writing, editing, typing, and proof- reading stories and captions. Ground work for this year's yearbook was begun in the sweltering summer evenings when the theme was chosen and picture layout designed. During October the business staff became money mad in their attempt to outsell each other. Dave Humphreys emerged as victor selling 257. The literary staff composed write- ups and worked with pictures during the winter, while the senior editors compiled data for the senior pages. In April, underclass pictures were sold.

Fifteen per cent of the students ranking in the upper third of the class were chosen by faculty members to be initiated into the society. Mem- bers were chosen for their character, excellence in scholarship, leadership, and service. 83 c Z V . senior honor students Gar Edgell. Judy VanSelow, Jim Kay. Hill Fletcher Of Thee We Sing the Highest Praise Academically, the cream of the crop, over twenty seniors, have completed their high school careers with at least a 3.4 grade average. This impressive honor was garnered by hard work as well as intelligence. Especially hard competition centered around the valedictorian- ship, and Judy VanSelow, Jim Kay, Garland Edgell, and Bill Fletcher were arch rivals. Hack Row: Hill Reid, Norm Davis. Jim Kay.

Jim Kay: Secretary, Barb Jensen The Senior Story As we the seniors of 1957 approached graduation, we looked back with humility yet with a degree of satisfaction over our high school years. We had always been a bold class, often when we should have been humble. Yet we accomplished what we set out to do. We had been strong athletically - not always win- ning, but giving a good account of ourselves. We had demonstrated school spirit, yet retained our dignity. The 1956 Homecoming we sponsored was the most successful yet. Our winter formal, Frosted Fantasy , brightened the winter season. More important than the leadership we displayed was our faithful support of all school activities. Academically, we upheld the high standards of Downers High with excellent showings on the Illinois Constitution and National Merit Scholarship tests. Students no longer, we wish to bid adieu, and ex- press our thanks to students and faculty alike, whom we have come to know so well.

This remark is often murmured by many a DGHS student but especi- ally by one of the 606 students now called experienced frosh. Those first few confusing, fumbling days of high school now seem far away. By entering clubs, sports, varied activities, and by helping on committees, the freshmen have showed their enthusiasm and school spirit. They have proved their ability to work to- gether as well as independently by securing first place in the clothing drive and achieving high rank on the honor roll.

The sudden death of Mr. Irving Leverenz was such an occasion. Mr. Leverenz was critically injured this winter in performing one of his favorite tasks — making Downers Grove High School comfortable, scenic and a spotless building for students and faculty. Starting as a custodian in the grade schools. Mr. Leverenz faithfully served the school sys- tem for over thirty years. As the school became larger he efficiently met the needs of bolt, pupils and teachers. Besides heading a twenty- four hour custodial staff for twenty-five years, he performed time-saving jobs for everyone — always ready to open a locker or find an extra desk or chair. The joy he found in his work, the pleasure and comfort his custodial task gave students and faculty, and the sorrow his death brought to the school can not be expressed in words. 112 ‘Judex A Cappella 32 Academic 72 Adams, Herbert t 15 Administration 13 Advanced Mixed Choir 32 Anderson, Charlotte 15 Art Club 47 Athletics 59 AVA 47 Band 28 Band Parents 34 Baseball 70 Basketball 65 Bit and Spur 44 Board of Education 14 Business Department 23 Cafeteria Ladies 25 Carnival 56 CAULDRON 80 Cheerleaders 41 Chess Club 40 Classes 87 Clinic 53 Cross Country 64 Custodians 25 DAR 84 D-Club 75 Debate 79 Dedication 4 Drama Club 45 English Department 16 Fine Arts Department 19 FNA 46 Football 60 Foreign Language Department 23 Foreword 1 French Club 43 Freshman Class 131 FTA 46 GAA 54 German Club 42 Golf 74 Guthrie, Wayne 15 Harris, John 14 Hi-Y 50 High Life 82 Homecoming 38 Index 143 Johnson, Clarence 14 Junior Class 115 Latin Club 43 Library Aids 44 Math Club 53 Mathematics Department 17 Memoriam 142 Music 27 NASS 75 National Honor Society 85 Natural Science Department 22 Orchestra 30 Orchestra Parents 34 Organizations and Activities 35 PTA 26 Pep Club 40 Physical Education Department 21 Practical Arts Department 20 Quill and Scroll 84 Senior Class 88 Senior Honor Students 86 Senior Play 37 Senior Prom 51 Service Club 52 Social Science Department 18 Sophomore Class 122 Spanish Club 42 Special Service Department 24 Stage Crew 47 Student Council 78 Tennis 74 Track 72 Trojan Boosters 76 Wrestling 69 Y-Teens 48 143 228 SOUTH WABASH AVE., CHICAGO 4.
