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.

SUPERINTENDENT GLENN E. PICKREL M.A. — University of Nebraska D.Ed. — University of Nebraska Superintendent of Schools Superintendent Glenn E. Pickrel’s third year in Downers Grove is marked by completion of work for his D.Ed. degree which was conferred on him by the University of Nebraska in January, 1960. Dr. Pickrel previously received his Master’s degree from the same university. During his administration, Dr. Pickrel has antici- pated and provided for the requirements of two growing school districts. Curricula have been ex- panded, both in the grade schools and in the high school; accelerated classes have been added; and productive experimental programs are in progress. Because of his foresight in educational planning and because of his active participation in village life. Dr. Pickrel has endeared himself to the entire com- munity. Superintendent Pickrel is a member of Phi Delta Kappa, N.E.A., and the American Association of School Administrators. He also belongs to the local chapter of Lions Club and serves on the local Y.M.C.A. Board of Directors. PRINCIPAL CLARENCE W. JOHNSON M.A. — Columbia University Principal Principal Clarence W. Johnson’s twenty-ninth year as revered mentor of DGHS is especially signifi- cant because of the extension and enrichment of the academic program. To implement the broadened cur- riclum, it has been necessary to expand teaching, supervisory, administrative and maintenance staffs; however, in spite of additional responsibility in a rapidly growing school, Mr. Johnson always finds time to talk with students and teachers who seek his counsel. Mr. Johnson received his B.A. degree from North- ern Illinois Teachers’ College, DeKalb; his M.A. de- gree from Columbia University, New York City; and he has also done considerable specialized grad- uate work at Northwestern University, Evanston, Illinois. He is a life member of N.E.A. and partici- pates actively in the National Association of High- School Principals. He also belongs to the local chap- ter of Kiwanis and serves as a lay moderator at the Congregational church.
