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.
