It is in academics, honors, activities, and athletics that individuals, striving independently, learn important lessons in team cooperation. In inclement weather, extra-curricular activities are confined within the school walls: but when the weather is pleasant, this scene is typical of the outdoor activities through which students keep physically fit and mentally alert. 3 The INDIVIDUAL and his personal achievements and talents determine the success of our school. In academics, initiative and diligence characterize the stu- dent; in his face is reflected absorption in some favorite subject or serious concentration on one that is more challenging. On the field or the basketball court, faces portray stark determination—a striving for perfection in personal achievement and the ultimate goal of team success. Faces illuminated with pride and satisfaction are faces of those who have achieved excellence in some field of endeavor and have merited awards for their efforts. The moments of joy, sadness, laughter, anger, excitement, and victory are portrayed in our pic- tures; for these are the spirits of our school. It is to these students—the members of the four classes—who have experienced the excitement of a game well played, the anxiety of an approaching test, and the relief at the end of a trying day—that this book is dedicated. 4 Students Among the many summer jobs available to students is that ot check-out girl. During the summer, D.G.H.S. students were engaged in many activities . . . working out on the swim team, roasting in the sun, laboring at summer jobs, doing odd tasks around home, or just plain loafing. Thus lim- bered up by such healthy activities, vacationers were ready to face the beginning of school and its many problems and rewards. Well, besides tennis there are always badminton, swimming, bowling, boating, fishing, and ping-pong. An entire season of practice brings perfection. 6 Swimming at one of the Downers pools is a favorite pastime. Football is not only glamor and excitement under lights; it is also hard, hot practices. 7 The band, majorettes, cheerleaders and pompon girls help make the football weekend much more than just the game. An essential part of Homecoming is the inspirational glow of the traditional bonfire. Fall excites Freshman registration had its typical aura of mass confusion as the new students battled with locker com- binations and tried to find their classrooms. For the upperclassmen, however, registration was mere repeti- tion, and everyone had fun locating friends whom they had not seen all summer. school spirit So the autumn season set in with piles and piles of renewed homework, exciting football games under lights, the fabulous Homecoming Weekend, and nu- merous club activities. For the freshmen this was an initial period of adjustment, but soon the class of 1965 was an active addition to the student body. Assembly line techniques allow registration to function smoothly. Nervousness, anticipation, and fear always precede a game. The beginning of school holds the reunion of summer-separated friends at annual club picnics. 9 During the long winter months, it is easy to make new friendships. Each player does his best to represent his school in a winning game. Winter brings snow, finals, and dances A blanket of snow covering everything, boots slush- ing through half-melted drifts, barren trees starkly sil- houetted against a slate-gray sky—this was a picture of the winter of 1962. Girls’ thoughts wavered from dances and new taffetas and silks to the grueling mid-year exams which were fast approaching; the boys dreamed of snow- ball fights after school and the next exciting home basket- ball game. After a whirlwind of activity, Christmas vacation came and went, and everyone returned with firm resolutions to work harder, study longer, and make the second semester even better than the first. 10 No matter how oftet arc never ignorec The holiday spirit reigns supreme with The cold winter is brightened up by gay dances and parties.

Springtime clears D.G 12 atmosphere Spring slipped around the corner before anyone real- ized it and brought with it warm, balmy breezes, azure blue skies, bright sunshine, and plenty of spring fever. A sure sign of spring was a student leaning on his desk with a dreamy, far-away look in his half-closed eyes, thinking of all the delightful things he was going to do after 2:50 p.m. But in spite of this seasonal epidemic, many things were accomplished. The operetta, plays, last-minute term papers, farewell banquets, finals, and the completion of summer and college plans followed in rapid succession until the end of school was suddenly upon us. The feelings of solemnity and pride dominate the graduation ceremonies. In June even the underclassmen arc excited by the anticipation of graduation. The lockers are empty, the halls are deserted, and friends say their good-byes as spring bows to summer’s rule. Seniors say farewell to D.G.H.S. Spring brings the sudden realization to the senior class that the end of high-school life is near. There is much to do and little time in which to do it. Seniors feel justly proud of their accomplishments; but most minds are filled with nostalgic memories—the very first football game, club projects, Homecoming weekend, furious cheering at a basketball game, tests and term papers, favorite teachers—all the important and trivial events that have filled four years of their lives. To make their final mark, seniors have the traditional potluck, Bermuda Day, Baccalaureate, and prom. As the class of 1962 attends graduation exercises, seniors are remembering all these things and many more; and with regretful sighs they turn from the familiar past to the beckoning future. 14 Our alert, curious, and observant student body recognizes the value of a sound educational background. Classes are conducted with the serious, intent atmosphere of learning, although the natural vitality of the students makes the day enjoyable and pleasant. A wide variety of curriculums. ranging from commercial and practical to college preparatory subjects, and aptitude stratification programs in the English and Math departments enable each student to receive the maximum educational benefits. Capable administrative officers, dedicated faculty, qualified counselors, and effi- cient service staffs implement an academically sound education at Downers Grove High School. 17 Glenn E. Pickrcl SUPERINTENDENT OF SCHOOLS University of Nebraska, D.Ed. 6 years The Superintendent During his five years as superintendent of grade schools and high school in Downers Grove, Dr. Pickrel has provided wise and able leadership for establishment of a flexible education program suited to modern life and an expanding school population. Particularly pro- gressive in Dr. Pickrcl’s program is the continuous eval- uation and assessment of educational philosophies, teach- ing techniques, and course contents. He has developed a fine executive staff which functions smoothly and ef- ficiently under his guidance. Dr. Pickrel is a member of the American Association of School Administrators, the Illinois Education Associa- tion, and the National Education Association. He is also a member of Phi Delta Kappa, national honorary professional fraternity. Able leadership An important facet of Superintendent Pickrel's staff is his ADMINISTRATIVE ASSISTANTS; Dr. Charles Elmlinger, Personnel Director; Dr. Melvin Hetland, Curriculum Director; and Mr. Dean Shinneman, Busi- ness Manager. These executives are employed jointly by the grade school and high school districts to assist in the coordination and supervision of facilities and in- structors. Charles E.

Absent from the picture, Mrs. C. Wyman. The Principal Offering experienced professional leadership to a growing high school population, Mr. Johnson has com- pleted his thirty-first year as principal. Although the ever-increasing enrollment, enlarged teaching and serv- ice staffs, and expanding curriculum place increased demands on the director of the high school, Mr. John- son still finds time to work closely with students and faculty and to help individuals with personal and pro- fessional problems. Aside from his demanding role as DGHS principal, Mr. Johnson is active in numerous professional organi- zations. This year he served as President of the North- ern Illinois Conference of Supervision, and he was also Chairman of the Legislative Commission of the Illinois High School Association. Mr. Johnson is a life member of the National Education Association. Clarence W. Johnson PRINCIPAL Columbia University, M.A. 31 years Competent administrators The offices of 228, 204, and 202 are efficiently staffed by Mrs. Gerry Thompson. Mrs. Elizabeth Dickson, Mrs. Ardclla Schultz, Mrs. Agnes Roger, Mrs. Mary Rogers, Mrs. Ruth Keast, Mrs. Doris Murphy, Mrs. Pat Olson, and Mrs. Elma Pence. Mr. Johnson is assisted by an efficient administrative staff which works closely with him in coordinating the academic and extra-curricular functions of the school. Mrs. Andersen, Assistant Principal and Dean of Girls, has completed thirty-eight years of service to DGHS. In addition to administrative duties, she works closely with girls and their counselors in all areas, giv- ing particular attention to job and college placement counseling for senior girls. Since last year, Mr. Guthrie has served as Assistant Principal in Charge of Instruction, climaxing his nineteen years of service to the school, first as a teacher, and more recently as a counselor and guidance director. As an administrative assistant, Mr. Adams, Dean of Boys, is in charge of attendance and correlation of extra- curricular activities.

Student welfare is the counselors’ first interest The GUIDANCE DEPARTMENT is rapidly ex- panding to meet the needs of the increasing enrollment of Downers Grove High School. Directed by Mr. Leon E. Pogue, the department in- troduced several improved methods during the 1961- 1962 school year. Incoming students now receive coun- seling from the same person during all four years, and the weekly counseling class has been extended into the sophomore year. Four counselors—Mrs. Helen Cleve- land, Miss Almalce Greenlee, Mr. James Lind, and Mr. Stephen Oracka—devote their full teaching day to help- ing students with career and educational plans. The Guidance Department also administers aptitude, achievement, and placement examinations and plans supplementary programs, including Career Day and College Night. Helen G.

The Downers Grove High School PARENT-TEACH- ER ASSOCIATION chose the theme, Do You Know?” for the 1961-1962 school year. Programs relat- ing to this subject were presented throughout the year for the purpose of creating an active citizen interest in the local high school. Under the direction of Presi- dent Robert Mayo, the organization worked closely with the school to support academic policies and gain understanding of newly introduced courses and im- proved teaching techniques. Students are most appreci- ative of the loyal adult support. This year the TROJAN BOOSTERS have again pro- vided spirit and services for our athletic teams. Under the direction of Mr. James Ferguson, the Boosters took movies of the football games and presented the films to coaches and players for training purposes. In addition, the Boosters held coffees every Wednesday night of the season, enabling anyone interested to view the ac- tion films of our teams. The Boosters also held three seasonal banquets where the “most valuable player” for each team was announced. The active interest shown by these adults matches the enthusiasm of DGHS students.

Olney, the SOCIAL SCIENCE DEPARTMENT continued to enrich students' lives by acquainting them with the his- tory and existing conditions of the world and its peo- ples. Psychology and ancient history are included in a wide range of courses. Every student is required to take American history as a junior; and to fulfill the addi- tional social studies requirement, seniors choose from three different courses—sociology, international rela- tions, and problems of democracy. With this back- ground in social science, the individual will have a better understanding of both the world and social prob- lems. Chari� J. Novotny U. of De Paul, M.A. •4 years Glenn C.

For the last two years, the department has offered four years of instruc- tion in each of four languages—French, German, Latin, and Spanish. The modern language laborator)', also a recent addition, gives students an opportunity to listen to native speakers, practice pronounciation, improve comprehension, and receive more individual attention. These advantages help the students develop fluency in a second language. Lee Toby, Cathy Raming, Bill Jcgl, Steve Tylc, Chris Almvig, Sheila Carey, Karen Watts.

Courses in electricity, wood working, drafting, auto mechanics, printing, and metal working offer a wide range of train- ing in modern shops with up-to-date equipment. In home economics, girls study cooking, sewing, and home management; many of these girls go on into advanced courses in foods and clothing. The Practical Arts cur- riculum is headed by Mr. William R. Cleveland; Miss Vivian C. Vifquain is the chairman of the Home Eco- nomics Department. Practical Arts prepares many high school students to assume purposeful roles in today’s society.

Fine Arts courses encourage self-expression The FINE ARTS DEPARTMENT, under the direc- tion of Miss Velma Dickson, stresses appreciation and skill through technique and performance. The band, orchestra, and choruses stimulate appreciation in the participants and entertain the student body and faculty. Ceramics and practical arts courses are offered to sup- plement the traditional art program, and students are encouraged to demonstrate creativity, discrimination, and good taste through expression in a variety of mediums.

The PHYSICAL EDUCATION DE- PARTMENT, under the direction of Guy Wellman, recognizes this, and in many varied activities the student is taught athletic skills and control. In all activities, good sportsmanship and the willingness to try are of primary importance. Supplementing the program of regular com- petitive sports, games, and exercises arc activities such as social and square dancing. The Driver’s Training program, a vital part of the P.E. Department, prepares students to assume responsi- bilities as safe and competent drivers. Four weeks of classroom study provide the student with a basic knowl- edge of the car and the rules and attitudes of safe driving. With the aid of the Drivotrainer, the student becomes familiar with the fundamental operations of driving, while the final instruction consists of behind- the-wheel training. Several times each year, state in- structors administer the required test at school, giving students the opportunity tc obtain their licenses.

Students aided by Special Departments Many SPECIAL DEPARTMENTS enrich the curric- ular advantages of the high school. The students make constant use of the benefits of these departments. The library, under the supervision of Mrs. Jones, is important to the study life of the students. Equipped with reference media and supplementary materials of records, pamphlets, and newspapers, as well as a vari- ety of books on all subjects, the library is an important source of information, education, and relaxation to the school community. Mrs. Clara R. Searles, visiting counselor at D.G.H.S., helps students with personal problems which interfere with school work and spends many hours conferring with parents and students. Mrs. Hitzeman, the school nurse, provides emergency aid for all high school students. She also encourages physical and dental examinations and keeps a record of all such medical information. Quiet and organized study halls with good reference materials are an aid to every student; Mrs. Petersen has established such study halls to enable students to use free periods to the best advantages. Linda Adamik, Carol Adams. Donna Barta, and Chris Petersen make use of their study hall to complete homework. SPECIAL SERVICES j Charlotte J. Hitzeman Lutheran Hospital School of Nursing.

During their junior year in high school, college- bound students all over the nation participate in the National Merit Scholarship Corporation qualifying test. On the basis of this test, the top 10,000 appli- cants, comprising less than 1% of the nation’s seniors, qualify as semi-finalists in the competition and are so notified at the beginning of the senior year. Additional tests substantiating high scores made on the qualifying tests determine which semi-finalists become finalists. This year, Michael Auth, Barbara Campbell, Nancy Rehn, and Robert Tweedy qualified as NATIONAL MERIT FINALISTS. As well as honoring finalists, the National Merit Cor- poration recognizes those students who score extremely well on the qualifying test, but score under the selec- tion mark. To these students, the Corporation sends LETTERS OF COMMENDATION; this year sixteen D.G.H.S. students were so honored.

These activities pro- vided fun and enjoyment, and enabled the student to pursue his daily subjects be- yond the classroom. Vital questions and problems in the fields of math and science were explored; while reading, foreign language, and writing clubs pondered mod- ern literature and art. Students pursued hobbies from model railroading to photog- raphy, and sports-minded students took part in athletic organizations and created spirit at sports events. Large clubs offered various programs to meet the interests of their large memberships, while many smaller clubs functioned for the purpose of preparing students for future vocations. Students possessing musical, creative, or theatrical ability developed their talents by taking active parts in representative clubs. Through many clubs and committees, students performed significant serv- ices.for the school. While developing special interests and working with others in clubs and organizations, each student played a vital role in the scheme of school life. 51 Choir voices blend in harmony The A CAPPELLA CHOIR, under the direction of Miss Barbara Barnes, is composed of seventy-five stu- dents selected for their outstanding vocal ability. Per- forming not only in seasonal concerts, the choir also entertained at Other school and community events. The highlight of the school year for the A Cappella mem- bers was the annual operetta, this year, South Pacific. A Cappella members, as a whole and in small vocal groups, participated in the district and state music contests where they were rated highly for their per- formances. Sixteen exceptionally talented members of the chorus were organized into a madrigal choir which sings where it is more expedient for a small choir to perform.

Balmy breezes, lush tropical palm trees, and the eerie call of Bali Hai set the stage for this year's operetta, South Pacific. When the Army, Navy, and Marines land on a small native island in the South Seas and arc joined by a crew of Army nurses, French girls, and native Polynesians, almost anything can happen. In South Pacific almost everything docs. Falling in love is a common theme in many plays, and in South Pacific Nellie Forbush, a charming Army nurse from Little Rock, Arkansas, meets and falls in love with a middle- aged French planter, Emile de Becque. At the same time, a wily Tonkinese woman, Bloody Mary, who sells grass skirts Cable (Rick Baker) sings Younger Than Springtime to Liat (Gail Moore).

Student volunteers serve in the library, the audio-visual department, the science laboratories, the administrative offices, and the language laboratory. Students who serve as library assistants during their free periods belong to the LIBRARY AIDES CLUB. The)r may work at the loan desk, take attendance passes, shelve and arrange books and exhibits, and aid students in finding supplementary materials. The Library Aides Club meets monthly and offers service awards at the end of the year. At Christmas, a large book jacket tree is decorated by the Library Aides. The club, under the sponsorship of Mrs. Virginia Jones, is a valuable organization in D.G.H.S. Jack Schmidt and Rusty Batch operate Audio-Visual aids. In 244-C is located Audio-Visual equipment for the entire school; in this room boys learn the mechanical operation of the machines used in all departments of the school. AUDIO-VISUAL AIDS CLUB members, under the direction of Mr. Paul Kluth, schedule the use of facilities and supervise utilization of the materials. Taking absence slips, handing out announcements, distributing counselors' requests and messages, helping in the clinic and language and science laboratories, and i assisting the deans, counselors, and faculty of the high school are among the duties of the almost one hundred members of SERVICE CLUB.

Although it is open to all high school boys, certain standards of. good citizenship are required of members. The two divisions, Frosh-Soph and Varsity, are spon- sored by Mr. Jack Bowles and Mr. George Pappas, respectively. The club, with over 150 members, is again the largest boys’ Christian organization in the Chicago area. The entire club participated in selling hot dogs and soft drinks at the football games. This year the club participated in the Metropolitan Youth Conference and the YMCA University of Good Government” in Springfield. Other major club activities included sports nights, an autumn barbeque, formal induction and initiation ceremonies, and a spring picnic. 75 Y-Teens board— Sealed: Mrs. Perry; Mrs. Krajewski; Gail Robinett, president; Jackie Irwin, vice president; Judy Halgrcn, secretary; Linda Younts, treasurer; Miss Westphal; Mrs. Pohlmann.

Through special speakers, Career Club, newly formed this year, enables junior and senior girls to hear about everything from sororities to summer jobs. Another club division, Matin Service, a non- denominational worship, is held every other Tuesday morning before school. The chief project of the club this year has been sponsoring a foster child, Nguyen Thanh Ngon, from South Viet Nam. Through the money which the club donates from its candy sales, Ngon is able to attend school and enjoy extra advantages. Special events this year included the big and little sister Cookie Shine, the big and little sister tea, freshman initiation, father-daughter night, and the mother-daughter tea.

The activities of the Book Club helped promote literary knowledge, interest, and curiosity among the members. Logical organization and effective presentation of ideas are developed by members of DEBATE, spon- sored by Mr. Edward Vertuno and Mr. Fred Moore. Research and practice resulted in the fine showing of our debaters in school confernce, and extra-confer- ence debates.

Seniors sponsor successful events Memorable dances require careful planning by student committees. Problems of everything from refrigerating Home- coming mums to building coat racks to renting a rusty crown to testing the acoustics of the underground track are solved by two senior committees—Homecoming Steering and Prom Board. On April 26,1961, the HOMECOMING STEERING COMMITTEE and advisers Mr. Phillip Bowers and Mr. Fred Moore decided on Autumn Nocturne as the theme for the 1961 Homecoming weekend. (The date is remembered because the after-school meeting lasted for six hours.) Plans were made and materials were ordered for the big event during last spring and summer. Decorations of abstract art carried out the unusual theme of this year’s Senior Prom. The SENIOR CLASS PROM BOARD, sponsored by senior counselor, Mr. Don Ingles, raised money for the dance by sponsoring the movie, Can-Can, in March, 1962. Obvious throughout the Homecoming and Prom weekends were the time and effort of these committees which helped to make the events truly memorable.

Homecoming mood After long months of planning and preparation by the Homecoming Steering Committee, the big weekend at Downers Grove finally arrived. Festivities began Thursday night with the student pep rally; the high- lights of the evening included the snake dance and the bonfire which burned the R-B Bulldog in effigy. Enthusiasm heightened as the beautiful, sunshiny Friday afternoon arrived for the largest Homecoming Parade ever assembled by the Trojan students. Under a cloudless sky and sparkling lights, a mammoth crowd of 3,000 watched as the Varsity crushed the Bulldog effort by a score of 26-0. The performance marked the Downers football squad’s third shut-out in a row. Between games the entire Homecoming Parade, featuring the grand prize Senior float, was applauded by ardent spectators. The Homecoming Court was cheered by the audience at a midfield ceremony. Saturday night brought the finale of the weekend—the traditional Homecoming Dance. The theme, Autumn Nocturne,” was depicted with the transformation of boys’ gymnasium into a fall park scene complete '”ith pavilion and green park benches. At the evening cere- mony, members of the Court were crowned before the Homecoming audience. Then midnight arrived—the 1961 Homecoming was past. Moments before crowning.

Preparing meals, sewing, and learning to be an efficient housewife and mother are topics covered by the Future Homemakers of America. provide excellent preparation for the future Preparing for the future” is a phrase used by many people to express the importance of a high school and college education; there are many facets of this prep- aration, however, beside education. Several future- oriented organizations at D.G.H.S. help inform and acquaint students with vocational possibilities after high school. FUTURE HOMEMAKERS OF AMERICA, spon- sored by Mrs. Louise Cunningham, has been growing rapidly. As more girls realize the need for sound pre- marriage instruction, they seek training in various as- jpects of homcmaking, through club activities. At the present time, nursing is a challenging career in an expanding field. The FUTURE NURSES OF AMERICA, under the guidance of Mrs. Charlotte Hitzeman, R.N., offers its members discussions and opportunity for practical work in club programs. The FUTURE TEACHERS OF AMERICA is or- ganized to acquaint prospective teachers with the re- quirements, opportunities and challenges of their chosen profession. Under the sponsorship of Mrs. Iris Kohler, members obtain valuable insight into this career through visits to universities, service at Teachers Association meetings, and observation of classes in various schools. Many upperdass girls experience reflective moments like this when contemplating their futures.

High Life handles school news Every fourth Friday holds a special interest for Downers Grove High School students. At these times, the High Life is distributed to subscribers and pur- chasers. After perusing the front page and then turn- ing to the Line, students read news items carefully to find mention of past events and future plans that are important and interesting. In addition to planning and writing each paper, the' HIGH LIFE STAFF sponsored by Miss Betty Leei Chessman is responsible for selling, advertising, and' distributing copies. Some money-making projects like the spring daffodil sale and the Halloween carnation: sale are undertaken by the staff to secure funds for special equipment and extra cost features for the paper. High Life staff members Carl Halgren, Terry Pearson, Steve Petersen, Jackie Mittlestadt, Bill Joyce, Kent Anderson, Karen Klcppner, and Kris Benson prepare to distribute the latest issue of Roto with the paper.

The main objective of the club is to promote school spirit and good sportsmanship. Under the direction of Miss Janet Ellerman, the group this year approved an official uniform consisting of white skirts for girls and white trousers for boys; both boys and girls also wear white pullover sweaters with purple dickies and purple megaphone designs. The an- nual Pep Club-D-Club Dance was held in April. Sixteen of the most enthusiastic members of the class of 1962 were chosen last year to compose the current HONOR PEP. Each of the members was elected to this honor on the basis of points earned for participation in Pep Club activities and attendance at athletic events. Two representatives from the junior class complete this board.- The Honor Pep, sponsored by Miss Janet Ellerman, functioned as the governing board of the Pep Club, supporting and coordinating the club’s activities. The colorful signs and posters placed in the school before athletic contests promoted spirited interest in the student body. 89 G.A.A.

G.A.A. offers sports and fun The GIRLS ATHLETIC ASSOCIATION, spon- sored by Miss Irene Krajewski, offers to its members a wide variety of sports and many social affairs. The 1961-62 board began work in the early fall and successfully planned and presented the annual picnic, freshman party, Halloween party, mother-daughter Christmas party, faculty Christmas tea, and daddy- daughter night. With the financial aid of other school organizations, G.A.A. again took charge of decorating D.G.H.S. at Christmas and sponsoring an enthusiastic door-decorating contest. Initiation of new members was held at the end of the first semester, and a splash party for the initiated members was held in March. G.A.A. and Y-Teens, the two largest girls’ clubs in the school, jointly sponsored a successful turnabout dance in the spring. Fencing has recently been added to the varied sports program in which girls participate daily. At the annual breakfast, local, state, and national awards were pre- sented to G.A.A. members for time devoted to the organization. 90 Anne Poling, Sarah Hitzeman, Peggy Sandstrom.

Athletics are supported by D-club, Pom Pon The D-CLUB, an honorary organization, is an active club composed of athletes who have earned letters in varsity sports. Members work with the Trojan Boosters to promote interest in athletics and to encourage good sportsmanship. The club, under the guidance of football coach Dick Carstens, also ushered at many home athletic events and co-sponsored the annual Pep Club—D-Club dance in April. An essential part of our school spirit is the POM PON SQUAD composed of 18 vivacious senior girls. Dressed in striking uniforms of purple pleated skirts and white monogrammed sweaters, these girls practice many nights after school to achieve precision. The squad performed at football and basketball games and at the Youth Center Carnival. The group is sponsored by Mr. Herbert Adams.

Victory yells typify cheerleaders We’re from Downers, couldn't be prouder . . The CHEERLEADERS express the enthusiastic senti- ments of the entire student body at pep rallies and games where, with cheers and skits, they support the teams in victory or defeat. Because of their forceful yells and vivacious personalities, the cheerleaders, coached by Mrs. Delores Colton, inspire enthusiasm among the spectators at every football and basketball game. The eight cheerleaders on the frosh-soph squad and the eight cheerleaders on the varsity squad spark excitement in th largest crowds that D.G.H.S. has ever had at its sports events. Split second timing makes the precision effect worth the practice. Sarah Hitzeman. Varsity Cheerleading captain.

It had its humorous, dramatic and tragic moments; it was cheering, happy fans, youthful in exuberance; it was a year that will not be forgotten. Ever colorful, and changing moods with the season, it was the exhaus- tion of a five mile run in September, the chill of a Homecoming in October, the swish of a basket in December, the sweating strain of a pin in January, the rhythmic pounding of track shoes in March, the soft thud of a baseball hating a mitt in April, the quiet roll of a golf ball and the whisper of a tennis racket in May. It was a high school at play, carefree and yet concerned, rooting its teams to victory. And yet it was a unique year, a turning point in Downers' history. Emerging is a true power, ending a decade of trophy drought; we are on the eve of the strong, with underclass squads bringing prize after prize home to the rapidly expanding DG coffers. The loss of athletic director Julian Taylo through retirement ended a 20 year career in the Trojan palace, as the grand' fighter yields to able Steve Oracko. Guy Wellman, who headed up Trojan hardcourt and dia- mond teams for a decade, is leaving to assume full time scouting duties for the Los Angeles Dodgers. But with the new comes championship freshman and fresh-soph teams who will wear the Pony and Trojan uniforms for four years to come. Nevertheless, Downers can be proud of its graduating varsity teams, as they consistently placed well in one of Illinois’ toughest conferences. Herein, then, is contained the story of this memor- able year, dedicated to all of those who made it memorable. 95 Trojans powerhouse into second This year it was entirely a power squad, boasting 1500 pounds of line, an average of 214 per man. The heavy backficld averaged 190 pounds, but was one of the fastest in the West Suburban Conference. Trojan mentor Dick Carstens and his three able assistants—Jim Lind, Steve Oracko and newcomer Sig Harback—put together another fine varsity football squad. The 1961 team equaled the '60 second place finish in the West Suburban Conference with the difference that this year Downers was forced to share the spot with York, as a result of an LT upset. Romps came over Glenbard, Arling- ton, Riverside-Brookfield and Maine East. Naperville and York lost to the Trojans by just one point each, while Downers fell to Hinsdale speed and La- Grange perseverance. The net result was a 6-2 season record, 146 offensive points —to all opponents 6l, and four players named to the all-conference team: Bill Duffy, Archie Crane, Bob Beightol and Doug Elliott. Meanwhile, Sig Harback's junior var- sity squad had a rough go of it, winning one and losing six. 1961 Varsity Trojans (Left to fight) Row 1: Mike McAllister, Mike McChcsncy, Archie Crane.

Another victory was recorded in the season opener with Naperville. Displaying the fastest conference backfield, the frosh-soph gridders held a 15 quarter shutout string until the Home- coming game. Nevertheless, the Ponies rolled over Naper- ville, Glenbard, Arlington, Riverside-Brookfield and Maine East. Close victories were attained from Hinsdale and La- Grange, and the lone loss came from York. Without good coaching, the potential of this squad could never have been fully developed. The Ponies were blessed with three outstanding leaders: head coach Chuck Novotny and line coach Jim Gilmore (left, background and fore- ground, respectively), and backfield coach Bill Walker (right).

The speedy backfield is illustrated with halfback-quarter- back John Lounibos (right) as he escapes from Hinsdale's A1 Koranda in closing but thrilling moments of DG-Hins- dale battle. Lounibos tallied six touchdowns and two points-after, for a total of 38 points to pace all Pony scoring. (Left to Right) COACHES: Jim Gilmore, Chuck Novotny, Bill Walker.

His dra- matic run from -10 yards out in the last seven seconds beat Hinsdale 19- 14 to keep Downers undefeated. The other active backfield star was Pud Faris, who did much to keep team spirit high while turning in a fine performance himself. Here he is off and running for one of the initial TD’s of the season as the Ponies clobbered Naperville 26-0. A good football team is not comprised of a backfield alone; it takes a strong line and much cooperation. Such co- operation is demonstrated by halfback Mickey Smith (34) and guard Paul Kuch (45) to break up a Naperville pass attempt.

Frosh gridders have good year The Grove’s two frosh teams got together to pile up a composite 7-4-1 record, with the B” faction turning in a respectable 5-1 performance. Highlight of the season for the Etob Fletcher- Rudy Skul aggregation was a 34-0 romp over Glenbard West in the opener. The loss was to Hinsdale, 28-7. Lloyd Wasmer and George Feuerschwenger coached the A” pack to retaliation over Hins- dale, but lost to Arlington, Riversidc-Brookficld and York in the process.

The Trojans took seventh and eleventh in the district and St. Charles Invitational meets, respectively. Senior Ken Rybarezyk was named most valuable player. The Ponies, coached by Jim Wallace, fared some- what better, securing a third place conference berth, and winning six out of eight duals.

Handicapped in the state’s toughest conference without a returning lctterman, Guy Wellman closed his high school basketball coaching career with an unhappy 1-20 season record, posting an 0-14 WSC mark for eighth place. The lonely victory came over Proviso West, 54-53, in the Proviso Holiday Tourna- ment. On the bright side, ten out of the fourteen players are potential laden juniors, whose varsity experience will be a definite aid to next year's squad, headed up by Lloyd Wasmer and his sparkling Ponies. With returnees such as guard Glen Wirtanen and forwards Rich Bollow and Dale Sunnquist, hopes are glimmer- Scores ing on the ’62-'63 horizon.

From the moment that John Martinek sank the first Pony bucket with seven seconds gone against Naper- ville, to the moment that Jeff Schubert sank the last charity toss against West Chicago, one of the best frosh-soph hardcourt teams in DG history (the last was in 1953) thrilled Downers fans with a total of fifteen wins against only four setbacks. Emerging as WSC champs with a 12-2 slate, Lloyd Wasmer’s squirrels —the smallest team in the conference— were forced to tie with York for the title. Pacing the Pony attack were six players: Forwards Rick Varys, Don McGill and John Martinek; center Ray Chladek; and guards John Lounibos and Randy Thingvold. Thingvold led in the scoring column with a 14.5 average before being sidelined with a broken foot. Chladek swept the backboards 227 times, to lead in that department. Chladek and Lounibos were elevated to varsity for the Regional Tournament.

Freshmen cop WSC crown With a 15-2 season record, the Lofgren-Wallace freshman hardcourt crew snared the unofficial confer- ence top spot with an undefeated 7-0 mark. Coinci- dentally, it was the same record that Lloyd Wasmer's Ponies established as freshmen. After dropping non-conference and pre-season games to Glcnbard East and York, respectively, the DG five won 13 in a row, including victories over East and York. With this unit becoming the Ponies next year, hopes are bright for another championship.

Varsity matmen post winning season Boasting seven veterans of last year’s championship twelve, the Trojan matmen fell short of the 1960-61 record with a third place WSC finish, falling to La- Grange and Hinsdale. Hampered by the loss of Barry Ganek and Jerry Rossi through injuries, the squad placed third in the District meet, with four grapplers qualifying to con- tinue: Dave Kerchncr, A1 Mejdrich, Will Radell and Bill Sitton. Mejdrich and Radell qualified for the state finals by winning bouts in the sectional, and Mejdrich went on to take the state championship in the 133 lb. class. All-Conference honors went to three Trojans; Kerch- ner, Radell and Mejdrich received the nod. Frustrating Hinsdale heavyweight Retinour is Junior Will Radell in one of three times he beat the Devil.

Sophs regain crown After a year’s absence, the West Suburban confer- ence championship returned to Trojan-land, as Chuck Novotny put together another undefeated mat squad, posting a 14-0 season record. Facing undefeated LaGrange, the Ponies were with- out the services of their undefeated co-captain Keith Strauss and 112 pounder Fred Ege. Nonetheless, Jim Gustafson scored a pin and added to other decisions iii the high classes; a close 23-19 victory was recorded. In putting together their perfect year, the under- classmen totaled 473 team points to all opponents' 173. It was the third championship for the Ponies this season, and Novotny’s second of the year, an unpre- cedented accomplishment.

Shown here beating Hinsdale opponent, he was also instrumental in the Pony victory at LaGrange. Boasting a 6-1 season record, Jim Gilmore put to- gether a fine frosh grappling crew that promises a j WSC championship for Chuck Novotny next year. Highlights of the season were first place finishes in ( the Reavis and Morton quadrangulars, and a 21-20 beating of Reavis, one of the best wrestling schools in the state.

The varsity squad also turned in a fine record with four wins and two losses. At the onset of the outdoor season, the Ponies clobbered Riverside- Brookfield 108-10 to provide the largest margin of victory. After a disappointing indoor season, the Trojans finally got underway in the last underground dual by whipping Glenbard East. They had previously placed seventh at the Morton Big 10 Meet, eleventh at the West Suburban Meet at Oak Park, and eleventh at the Naperville Relays. The Ponies, with a nearly identical card, proved more successful, suffering their only loss out of four duals to Maine East. Taking a fifth at the Morton Big 10, the underclassmen slumped to a modest eighth at Oak Park, but bounced back by placing fourth at a Morton Invitational. Then everyone held his hat as Downers opened its outdoor season by taking two duals from R-B, and finishing at R-B by placing fifth on the varsity side of the Conference Meet, while the frosh-soph placed second. LaGrange was the winner in both divisions. At multi-team meets, Downers placed well, taking two firsts, three seconds, two thirds, and a fifth. A frosh division earned mention by licking Proviso West twice, 84-11 and 83-35, taking a first in the Morton Invitational, and winning a triangular with Willowbrook and Naperville, romping home with a 70 point total. Varsity hurdler Larry Urbik demonstrates how it’s done. He went on to win in near-record time. One of several Frosh sensations, John Lounibos rounds final turn in relay contest. He’s ahead, with no challenger in sight. Smiling faces reflect a season of success.

Ill Trojan diamond sparkles in 1961 Finishing with a season record of eleven wins and eight losses, DG pitching aces Jerry Kucera, Bill Gurican and Fred Mundinger provided several high- lights during the 1961 season. The first came in the season opener with Willowbrook, in which Kucera allowed only one hit as Downers won 7-1. In the first game of a doubleheader with Glenbard West, Gurican pitched 15 straight innings for four and a half hours before the winning DG run was scored. In the second game, Mundinger led the Trojans to victory by hurling a two hitter. Mundinger also starred in the district and regional games by first whipping LaGrange with an 8-0 shutout, and then a 6-4 win over Lisle. Finally, in the first regional game, Mundinger led the DG nine to a 10-2 win over Naperville, with the obvious aid of the red hot Trojan bats. With the use of some sophomores to plug the gaps, Wellman left frosh-soph coach Warren Holbrook with some roster problems. But by calling on several fresh- men, the Pony mentor found a fairly successful com- bination, establishing an 8-6 conference record to tie with Glenbard West for third place. In their only non-conference game, the frosh-soph nine whipped Willowbrook 10-8 in a real slugfest. Caught in the player squeeze, frosh coach George Feuerschwenger had to be content with a team lacking experience. While attaining valuable experience, the nine established a 1-8 record. 1961 Trojan Baseball With his eye on the ball, slugger Glen Wirtanen gets set to send the horse- hide for a long, long ride.

Trojan golfers up to par Under the direction of Dick Carstens, the ’61 golf teams enjoyed a good season, with the varsity squad capturing fourth place in the district meet and snaring a third in the West Suburban Conference, while the Ponies came through with a strong fourth. In varsity play, a new four lettered word was added to golfing vocabulary upon missing a putt: “Rats!” with a rolling r.” It was apparently not used too often, however, as the team boasted a conference rec- ord of five wins and two losses, with an overall season record of 9-3. The underclass squad was also successful, finishing 4- 3 in conference play, topping off a season record of 5- 4, a good showing considering the relative inexper- ience of the squad.

Trojan racket squad serves up good year Tony Ivins, although he was the outstanding varsity tennis player, wasn’t the only successful racket swinger last year, as the team’s season record of 9-6-1, coupled with second and third places in district and conference competition respectively, indicates. The sad part of the tennis story lies with the record of the frosh-soph division. For the second year in a row, the Ponies went winless, losing all twelve of their duals and placing eighth in the WSC meet with three points. Experience is expected to reverse that ! result this year.

It is the individual who inspires his class to action, who learns to accept responsibility, and who reflects the spirit of the school. In his first year, the student strives to become an active participant in all phases of the school curriculum; gradually he begins to widen his horizons, to expand his interests and activities, to experiment with new ideas, and to accept small doses of responsibility. As time pro- gresses, his responsibilities increase and his awareness of the importance of academic excellence becomes acute; he realizes that it is his duty to exhibit the leader- ship that others before him have shown. The senior has experienced all these steps, and is prepared for the fu- ture years and whatever they may bring. Thus it is that each individual grows in his own and contributes his share to his class and his school. 117 Seniors At the end of its final year at DGHS, the class of 1962 can look back on many accomplishments. Major projects of the graduating class included the all school dance, The Last Chance”; annual class breakfasts; the Senior Play, Pride and Prejudice; the 1961 Homecoming weekend; and the Senior Prom. The class was especially proud of winning four Homecoming float prizes for the last four years. Excellence in many fields has brought honor to the class: twenty students received awards in the National Merit Competition, and numerous college-bound stu- dents were awarded scholarships. Fine varsity athletic teams and enthusiastic senior spectators displayed tra- ditional Downers Grove spirit. As in past years, DG seniors capably handled the leadership of extra-curricu- lar activities. With sound academic background and training in dependability, leadership, and other skills during four years of attending Downers Grove Community High School, the graduates of today are equipped to meet the challenges of tomorrow.

Juniors During the year 1961-1962, the Junior Class con- tinued to display the zeal and enthusiasm that char- acterized it during the first two years. As a unit, the class constructed a prize-winning float for Homecoming, demonstrating its ability to plan original ideas and carry them out effectively. The class also sponsored a successful Christmas dance, the first dance to be spon- sored by the class of '63. More and more emphasis was put on academic and future plans as many juniors participated in College Night and Career Day. With this increased emphasis came a greater awareness of responsibility and the importance of excellence in all phases of school life, whether it be studying for a final exam or planning for the decorations for the next dance. For the Class of 1963, this year was a proving ground for its final year at DGHS. Van Gollan, PRESIDENT Tony Ivins. VICE PRESIDENT Anne Poling, SECRETARY Jane Vancil.

The Class’s first official activity of the year was an enjoyable potluck in December. The sophomores began to take an interest in some of the serious aspects of school life and to start thinking of suitable courses to tie in with their future vocations. Enthusiastic participation was shown in extra-curricu- lar activities as students channeled their time carefully, preferring to be active in a few organizations instead of spreading themselves too thin. The class lent its support to all school functions, from academics to ath- letic contests, and displayed a great deal of class loyalty in everything they did. In all respects, the Class of 1964 has proved its ability to accept upperclass responsibility and leadership. Linda Delloff, PRESIDENT Keith Strauss. VICE PRESIDENT Bonnie Frey.

Consisting of approximately 760 students, it is a class with a great deal of school spirit and enthusiasm. Paving the way toward strong class unity was the first all-class activity, the Freshman Party, which helped class members become better acquainted. In electing their class officers, the students chose those best qualified to provide sound class leadership. The freshmen chose special interest extra-curricular activi- ties, and they also proved to be enthusiastic supporters at all athletic events. The Class of 1965 has definitely inherited the Down- ers Grove spirit. Bill Moore, PRESIDENT Joe McConaughy, VICE PRESIDENT Sandy Wolfe. SECRETARY Connie Youngberg.
