STUDENT HONORS G.A.A.Cup — Since 1928 the Girls’ Ath- letic Association has had the name of one outstanding senior girl engraved on the G A A cup. This year it has chosen to honor Doris Groeneveld for her valuable service on the G A A board and for her personality and leadership qualities which have helped to promote a certain desirable spirit in all physical education activities. Doris, along with Marsha Foster, Jeanne Loewenau, and Nancy Seinwerth, the other nominees, received miniature cups as re- memberances. GAA Cup — Nancy Sein- werth, Marsha Foster, Doris Groeneveld, Jeanne Loe- wenau. Foreign Exchange — Downers students’ knowledge of foreign countries has been extended by foreign exchange program. Last year’s exchange student, Kathy Sax- ton, reported to all the home rooms this year on her experiences in Germany last summer. This summer two students will represent Downers in Europe. Mary Gib- son was chosen to return the visit of Mireille Chausse of Marseilles, France. Mi- reille spent the entire 1959-60 school year at Downers. Dick Lucier was selected as one of ten teenagers from the Chicago area to attend the Y.M.C.A. World Youth Conference in Amsterdam. Foreign Exchange — Mireille Chausse, Kathy Saxton, Mary Gibson, Dick Lucier. D.A.R. — From the three finalists, Gwen Law, Betty Sue Frey, and Joan Keough, Gwen Law was chosen as this year’s D A R “Good Citizen.” She, along with other girls chosen from their senior classes in each of the fifty states, were paid tribute as a Daughter of the American Revolution for their dependability, service, leadership and patriotism. These qualities, her gen- uine regard for the welfare of others, and her strong belief in what is right make Gwen a very deserving winner of this award. DAR — Gwen Law, Joan Keough, Betty Sue Frey.

Seniors apply- ing to colleges have found a good academic rec- ord to be a necessity for admission; and more and more business firms are checking the high-school transcripts of job applicants. The following pages show DGHS teachers who are doing their part to keep America the best educated nation in the world. Here we see a diploid mega- spore mother cell, which di- vides by meiosis to form four haploid megaspores.
