P A T T E R N S O F P R O G R E S S are asym m etrical in form because within the structured fram ew ork is flexi­ bility for essential experim entation and chance discov­ eries. W ithin the last tw o decades, E ducatio n has, by com m on consent, split the shackles o f tradition, re­ exam ining the entire system , selecting, retaining, dis­ carding, and adding, as educators search for stim ulat­ ing ways to explore new and old ideas. Curriculum studies of discoveries in all fields of know ledge, cou­ pled with a resurgence of interest in history as the key to probability, provide fundam ental bases for those who will m ake history. A second high-school building, know n as South cam pus, was partially opened in Septem ber, 1964, to house approxim ately 70 0 freshm en and sophom ores who live south of the railroad tracks w hich divide the village; approxim ately 700 freshm en an d sophom ores who live north of the tracks and all of the m ore than 1,300 juniors and seniors attend the original high school, now known as N orth cam pus. N ext year the junior class will be sim ilarily split; and in 1967, South cam pus will graduate its first class. T o accom m odate all young people in an expanding village, N o rth and South cam puses will continue to pioneer Patterns of Progress while providing dem o­ cratic education for A m ericans who face a challenging future.

MRS. CHARLOTTE D. A N D E R S E N , friend and adviser to DGHS students for forty-one years, has a secure place in the affections of those with whom she has w orked. Com ing to Downers G rove High School in 1923 as an English teacher, she was nam ed Dean of G irls in 1925 and A ssistant Principal in 1930. In spite of heavy adm inis­ trative duties and many dem ands upon her tim e, she has always dem onstrated the rare gift of real personal interest in all her deal­ ings with students and teachers. E xtending her wholesome in­ fluence into the com m unity, Mrs. A ndersen has served faithfully in church and civic organizations where her dedication will con­ tinue to be an inspiration to p re­ sent and future generations.

MISS C O R IN N A C.

H er cheerful personality and optim ism have endeared her to young people in the school and to adults in the com m unity where she has a wide circle of friends. MISS R.

PIC K R E L , a leader in school and com m unity affairs, has for nine years ably represented the B oards of E ducation in adm inistration of progressive policies designed to develop a superior school system in which each student is educated in the best A m erican tradition. D uring Dr. Pickrel’s adm inis­ tration, two grade schools have been built, additions and physical im provem ents com pleted on four grade schools and two junior high schools, and a second high school built, now known as South cam pus. In his report that D ow ners G rove High School has produced the highest ratio of m erit scholars to student body of any high school in the Chicago area, Dr. Pickrel calls attention to the fact that quality educa­ tion is the aim of the present adm inistration. It is evi­ dent that Dr. Pickrel’s em phasis on high academ ic standards is desirable in an education program planned to prepare students to live successfully in today’s com ­ petitive world. Professionally, Dr. Pickrel is President of the W est Suburban Conference, and V ice-President of the In ter­ suburban A thletic A ssociation. He is also an active m em ber of the A m erican A ssociation of School A d ­ m inistrators, the N ational A ssociation of Secondary School Principals, the Illinois E ducation A ssociation and the N ational E ducation A ssociation.

JO H N SO N , N orth campus, capable school adm inistrator and respected community leader, has successfully supervised an ex­ panding high school in a village which has quadrupled in population during the m ore than forty years th at he has served the school system. Close contact with stu­ dents, faculty, clerical and m aintenance staffs, com ­ bined with broad, continuing interest in civic affairs, has enabled Mr. Johnson to m aintain a smoothly func­ tioning school organization th at is a source of pride to all Downers G rove citizens. M r. Johnson works with Dr. Pickrel, Mr. G uthrie, and adm inistrative assistants to coordinate the program s of the N orth and South campuses. In his professional capacity, M r.

As a teacher, and then as G uidance D irector, he has dealt successfully with personnel and curricu­ lum problem s, dem onstrating consistently his prim ary interest in providing opportunities for individual de­ velopment. A t dedication cerem onies for the South cam pus in Novem ber, 1964, M r.

The G U ID A N C E D E P A R T M E N T S , directed on both cam puses by Mr. L eon E. Pogue, utilize eclectic techniques to help students solve personal and scholas­ tic problem s. On the bases of tests and personal con­ ferences, counselors assist students in making decisions concerning college and vocational choices. The coun­ seling staff adm inisters a variety of tests, including achievem ent tests to determ ine academic progress of students, and aptitude and placem ent tests to be used for college-entrance and job applications. Each year, the guidance staff plans a college night at which college representatives and high-school students meet. The counselors also organize an all-day career conference so that m em bers of the junior and senior classes can meet at the school with business and pro­ fessional men and women.

Stress Effective Communication

The E N G L ISH D E P A R T M E N T S , headed on the N orth cam pus by Mrs. M argarete A. C antrall and on the South cam pus by M r. F rank J. Babich, im plement a program of language expression and understanding through reading, writing, speaking, and listening. Se­ lected literature and com position texts are designated for each of the four high-school years; and supplem en­ tary classroom sets of texts are rotated from the E ng­ lish D epartm ent office for student use. Program s at every level are enriched through liberal use of the li­ brary, films, filmstrips, phonograph records, reading labs, and tape recorders. At junior and senior levels, the courses are divided into general English and college-preparatory English; at all levels there is an effort to meet individual needs through regular classes and through establishm ent of skills-im provem ent classes and honor classes. While four years of English are required for graduation, it is possible to substitute one sem ester of debate or speech for one semester of English at the sophom ore level. By approval, a student may elect to take journalism in­ stead of English during his junior year. The entire English program is sequential in pattern, designed to develop in each student com petency in his native language and cultural appreciation of literature in general. The SPE E C H A N D D R A M A D E P A R T M E N T S , directed by Mrs. M arjorie G. W ood on both campuses, is structured to develop the student’s skill in oral com ­ m unication. Courses in the departm ent give training in techniques of com position and practice in formal speaking, critical listening, logical thinking, and oral interpretation. All classes in speech, dram a, and debate are elective.

M em bers of the N A T IO N A L H O N O R SO C IE T Y are selected by the faculty on the basis of a four-year objective rating system concerned with scholarship, character, service, and leadership. A ccording to the tenets of the national organization, the local chapter m ay not appoint m ore th an 15 % of those students who rank academ ically in the u pper third of their class, such class standing being a prerequisite for m em ber­ ship. This year the 108 new m em bers of the D G H S chapter were honored at a dessert and awards assembly held in the high school on the evening of O ctober 27, 1964. High scores on the fall PS A T tests determ ined the N ational H o n o r Society Scholarship semi-finalists, from which group two D G H S students were later announced by the national office as 1964 Scholarship Finalists.

C R E A T IV IT Y is rew arded through honor citations established by various local, state and national organizations. Recognition for excellence is given students who distinguish themselves in literary and dram atic fields, and individual students frequently excel in com petitions where the rew ards are m onetary rem uneration or public com m endation. E ach year special groups of students are honored by election to m em bership in national groups. The D ram a D epartm ent honors outstanding dram a students by electing them to m em bership in the local chapter of the national honorary dram atic fraternity, Thespian; and the publications, H igh L ife and Cauldron, elect qualified students to m em ber­ ship in the local chapter of the national honorary journalistic fraternity, Q uill and Scroll. L ibrary A ides earn special notice for four years of service to the library, and this year members of the local association were honored by election to offices in the student section of the State L ibrary Association. O utstanding Foreign Language Students are selected by D G H S language teachers for awards by the A m erican A ssoci­ ation of U niversity W omen. O n the bases of creativity and artistic value, the special contest projects of D G H S A rt Students are evaluated and aw arded by local and national judges. This y ear’s International Exchange Students include three foreign students who are studying at D G H S and one local boy who spent the sum m er in Belgium.

M itchell at the South cam pus, S T U D E N T C O U N C IL S provide a form of representative governm ent for both schools. O rganized with one delegate from each hom eroom , the Councils serve three prim ary purposes: centralization of student opinion, representation of D G H S in the com m unity and in surrounding schools, and coordina­ tion of student activities. W eekly meetings are held during the school day, and m uch of the w ork is carried out by com m ittees form ed within the group. The student delegation at the South cam pus worked in conjunction with the adm inistration in planning the new school’s m ascot, colors, and song; and m em bers of the Student Council acted as guides at the dedica­ tion cerem onies in N ovem ber. The m ain project of the N orth-cam pus Student Council was earning m oney for the A m erican Field Service Program . This year a com m unity-w ide candy sale, peanut sales in the cafeteria, and the sale of Friendship shares to hom eroom s were the m ajor fund­ raising activities. M ore th a n ever before, students were able to m ake vital contributions to the success of the AFS program through su p p o rt of Council activities. Representatives from both cam puses attended many of the discussion m eetings which were sponsored by other schools in the W est Suburban Conference.

CA R O U SE L , Rodgers and H am m erstein’s B road­ way musical, transported three full-house audiences to the rom antic setting of a late-nineteenth-century New England summer. There, Billy Bigelow, barker on Mrs. M ullin’s carousel falls in love with and m arries the sweet, young Julie Jordan. In the difficult m onths th at follow, Billy, unable to find w ork and learning that he is soon to becom e a father, reluctantly agrees to join his unscrupulous friend, Jigger, in a robbery. C aught in the robbery attem pt, Billy tries to escape, falls on his own knife, and dies. Fifteen years later, Billy looks dow n from heaven and sees (for the first time) his daughter, Louise. Billy is broken-hearted to see his attractive daughter rejected by the other children. Billy returns to earth for a day and gives his daughter a star. This star and Billy’s fatherly advice bring Louise a new joy and assurance; and Billy, knowing th at he has done something good for his daughter, returns to heaven. Presented on A pril 8, 9, and 10 by the A Cappella C hoir and operetta orchestra, the production was directed by M iss B arbara Barnes. C horeography was done by M rs. Lyle Yerges and orchestral preparation by Mr. John Svoboda, Mr. L ance Schultz, and student teacher, M r. G erald Wolf.

Directed at both N orth and South cam puses by M r. Schultz, the C O N C E R T and C A D E T BA NDS have daily practice sessions to develop knowledge and ap­ preciation of various musical forms and to prepare program s for public presentation. In addition to form al band concerts presented at both cam puses, m em bers of the concert band perform ed as a m arching unit at fall football games; and m em bers of cadet bands took turns playing in small groups at basketball games. F or the last two years, a small specialty dance band com ­ posed of selected band m em bers has added another dimension to the roster of musical activities. The sm artly uniform ed band corps were as im pres­ sive in skillful perform ance of classic and sem i-popular num bers in form al concert as they were in stim ulating school pride as they played for assemblies and infor­ mal school events. M em bers, individually and as a group, earned honors in com petitive musical events.

O rchestra m em bers practice with fellow student musicians during regular class time at each cam pus; and before each concert, the entire group assembles for practice to secure a balanced orchestral effect. The orchestra presented two m ajor form al concerts during the school year. O ther special appearances in­ cluded participation in the Christm as program s at both cam puses and accom panim ent of the N orth-cam pus operetta, Carousel; the full orchestra also engaged in a reciprocal music exchanged with O ak Law n High School. The orchestra com peted successfully in the state music contest, and individual m em bers w on honors for perform ance in individual com petition.
