ANDERSEN, friend and adviser to DGHS students for forty-one years, has a secure place in the affections of those with whom she has worked. Coming to Downers Grove High School in 1923 as an English teacher, she was named Dean of Girls in 1925 and Assistant Principal in 1930. In spite of heavy adminis- trative duties and many demands upon her time, she has always demonstrated the rare gift of real personal interest in all her deal- ings with students and teachers. Extending her wholesome in- iluence into the community, Mrs. Andersen has served faithfully in church and civic organizations where her dedication will con- tinue to be an inspiration to pre- sent and future generations. MISS CORINNA C. I RONK. coming to DGHS as a teacher of history in 1936 and being named to the counseling staff in 1958, has exerted a memorable in- fluence in lives of boys and girls with whom she has worked in class and in extra-curricular activities. Her cheerful personality and optimism have endeared her to young people in the school and to adults in the community where she has a wide circle of friends. MISS R. BLANCHE HOWLAND, coming to DGHS as a teacher of civics and modern foreign languages in 1926 and being named Head of the Foreign Language Department in 1958, has broadened student horizons by sharing with her classes first-hand knowledge of many foreign countries. Her sincerity and even disposition have made her a valuable faculty member; she will be missed both in the school and in the community where she has many friends. 10
