DRIPS AND DRIBBLES Slopl Splash! Glubl No, it's not a hapless Davisite sinking to Davey Jones, locker Qudrowningn to all ye landlubbersj, but our swimming team doing their stuff. Davis was blessed with a goodly number of mermen this year, notable among them Eddie Emes and Bob Maxwell. In fact, we were nosed out of the county championship by Mamaroneck, leading with QA points. VVith plenty of boys returning next fall, Coach Oswald looks toward a bright future. Here's to next yearls county champs! VVhen these hallowed halls trembled, and sounds resembling a stampeding herd of wild horses were heard, students would listen, shrug their shoulders, and murmur, Must be a basketball gamef, Downstairs it was a hard, fast struggle highlighted by the abilities of Dick Senno and Tony Daniello. Up- stairs the game was an equal struggle, with' captains Ethel Clausen, Ann McGovern, and Brunie Garland leading the seniors, juniors and sophomores. P x 5 A ii Q- it X- J f.

A game well calculated to keep one's muscles in a constant state of rigor mortis is that fine old sport, tennis. Visions of stal- wart young Amazons appear when it is mentioned. Davis had its own share of en- thusiastic tennis players, who vigorously batted that little white ball back and forth over a net. Batting larger balls around the courts were the exuberant hockey teams. The Girls' Field Hockey Tournaments began in October, with seventy-tive eager females turning out. Dorothy Durfey headed the seniors, Joan Beacom the juniors, and Alice Reichgott the sophomores. They displayed their prowess under the direction of Miss XVight and Miss Taylor. The juniors won by a narrow margin of 2-O, which gave the seniors second place. Members of the winning team received large l'D's and the losers small ones. The third place sophomore team was awarded felt '448,' numerals. The fine art of bag punching has come into its own at Davis. We don't mean paper bags, either. The boys developed deadly right crosses and upper cuts calcu-- lated to make anyone think twice before entering into combat with them. IDENTIFICATION CLower Leftj Rofw I: Davis, Beacom, E.

During the year, down in the boys' gym were heard the deep rumblings of Hep, two, three, fourl Snap it up! Get along there! - and in the girls' gym, Hep, two, three, fourl Come on girlsln Downstairs we heard Arms sideward, liftl Overhead, raise! - and up- stairs - g'Arms forward, raisel Deep knee bendln So you see, we're all one great big happy family, being built up toward the eventual superhuman specimens that our hopeful gym teachers would like us to be. Downstairs the boys were cavorting about in their scanty white suits, and upstairs the girls were performing in those pretty blue fpotatoj sacks so flattering to their Eggers , In this building-up process, only the fit- test survived, and often a lot of fatigued bodies would lie in heaps along the walls. All these trials were eventually successful, and one day, after numerous calculations and measurements, we dis- covered a growth of roughly .0000000l inch in our bi- ceps. Maybe we're getting somewhere after alll OH, MY ACHIN' BACK IDENTIFICATION fbottomj S. Garland, E. Clausen, Miss Wight, A. Gor- man, A. Reichgott, K. Davenport Arnuarrc COMMITTEE The Girls, Athletic Committee had charge of most of the important athletic affairs. Ethel Clausen, Katherine Davenport, Susan Garland, Audrey Gorman, and Alice Reichgott were the members of this all-important com- mittee, with Miss Wight acting as faculty adviser. Their work consisted of passing on all athletic business, honors, policies, and procedures. They also served as hostesses for a Roosevelt-Davis volley ball game.
