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.

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.

RIFLE CLUB ON YOUR MARK! The team with the best record this year was the Davis Rifle Team, which emerged the victor in the VVestchester Scholastic Rifle League for the second time, dropping only one match by four points to Roosevelt High during the entire season. Coach Jack Cavillels team members varied, since they were picked from the top ten marksmen in the weekly practice of the Davis RiHe Club. The sharpshootersl prone scores were usu- ally from 95 to lflll out of a possible lflll. They certainly did a bang-up jobl Oil at the sound of the gun were the members of the Cross-Country Team. Coached by Earl Uswald, these Ulbheidip- pides in the makingl' regularly covered the rough 2lQ mile course at Tibbetts Brook in about l2'fQ minutes. Im 'x'l'll-KILL.-X'I'l0fx tlom-rl Rose I: VV.
