Adams M.A.—Northwestern M.A.—University of Illinois Assistant Principal and Dean of Girls Dean of Boys ADMINISTRATIVE COUNSELORS The DCHS administrative counselors deserve not only recognition but admiration from the students, teachers, and parents of Downers Grove. It is they who must co- ordinate all of the functions of the academic day and who are responsible for the counseling of students, the conducting of the educational testing program, and the acquainting of future students with DGHS. The administrative counselors arc an indispensable part of the educational system at DGHS and are a credit to the community as well as to the school. Wayne T.

It plays a substantial role in imparting those values epito- mized in the phrase, a liberal education. It tries to help every student grow in his ability to read discriminat- ingly, to speak and write effectively, to listen intelli- gently, and to utilize sources competently: it tries to develop in him a taste for fine literature and a distaste for what is cheap and tawdry; and it tries to help him conceive of the great writings, past and present, as synthesizing forces which combine all learning into one comprehensible pattern.
