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.

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.

l . is me vii Q WM s ' f '..' ! A ttf if 1 I' 4 'ik 9' Our twirlers and drum majorettes added a great deal of needed color to our football games. These girls were our sehool's flag-bearers, and gave us a brilliant show of school spirit. In basketball this color was lacking, but in the fast-moving football games the spectators were more than satisfied. It was our basketball team which represented Davis during the winter months, and while we were far from the top this year, every man was in there doing his best. Davis has always ex- celled in fair play and good sportsmanship. Let us continue to strengthen these good qualities so that other citizens of our City may desire to know us. 6 X xr!
