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.

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.

REVENGE IS SWEET Crowds shrieked, bottles barely missed the umpire, expectancy shone on the faces of every spectator. Who would the victor be? It was the ninth inning, two out, bases loaded - one strike, two strikes, three - you're outl Cheers, jeers, and once again Davis students had proven their physical prowess over their classroom Simon Legrees. More exciting than any Dodger exhibition, the Hill-top sports fans welcome in Spring each year with their annual Student-Faculty game. The diamond displayed many good points on last May ll, with Mr. Russell, Mr. Avery, and Mr. Cullen hop- ing to keep face for the teachers after their combat against the more agile younger generation. The Babe Ruthls of Davis included Larry Parker and Herb Ramsey. The highlight of the game came when Larry, with one foot raised in preparation to descend on Mr. Cullen's unsuspecting head, had to decide whether his school or sports career was more important. In that second, with umpire Pop Phillips an unbiased spectator, Larry chose the former. Although our Worthy pedagogues battled commendably, as usual, they had to admit the students' superiority.
