The high-school student unconsciously employs the idea of focus and perspective throughout each school year: his mind fo- cuses first upon academic subjects and then upon extracurricular activities. As the year begins, he concentrates upon challenging new subjects, and as he does so, he finds encouragement from the teachers who stim- ulate his curiosity and interest in learning. Upon establishment of a firm academic pattern, the student turns his attention to the multitude of extracurricular activities which arc an integral part of high-school life. Whether he is a participant or a spec- tator, he becomes intimately involved in the comprehensive athletic program, the clubs and activities schedules; there are the open- ing season’s football games, the year’s home- coming weekend, the class elections, the selection of clubs to join, the social season to enjoy. There is also the pleasure of see- ing old friends and the rewarding experience of making new friends. As winter arrives, the extracurricular program is accelerated; and it is then that the student employs per- spective in balancing requirements and de- mands of academic and social programs. As he looks back through this 1966 CAULDRON, the student will gain a per- spective of the hard work, the fun, and the pride that he has experienced in this year at Downers Grove North. While the under- classmen focus on the high-school years remaining, the seniors sec 1966 as the last of four years and look ahead to the world awaiting them. 3
