Even the home room teacher, Mr. Doyle, upheld this male monopoly. This elite group, the Boy Marshals, was elected by the students and faculty and represented the leaders of the school, c'Davis, Hnestf, Some of the routine services performed hy the Marshals included regulation of traf- fic in the halls, collection of attendance cards, delivering library passes to the study hall teachers, and supervision of the lunch rooms and locker rooms. They also sold tickets at sports events, helped out in the of- fice, and assisted in volunteer Work, in school and out. By setting a good example, they inspired the cooperation of the rest of the school.

DAVISAIDES, Many is the time when a new, trembling sophomore wanted to seek advice from someone other than a teacher who might frighten him out of existence. Who was right there to answer the questions and give aid to a bewildered newcomer? Of course it was the Home Room Advisers. A girl has been chosen from each home room to act as a guide and counselor to green sophomores who have been overwhelmed by the intricate system of Davis. Une of the Hrst bits of advice a Home Room Adviser gives is to let the new girl know exactly where the boys, locker room is, and to tell her not to proceed to the lunchroom by 11 certain stairway, no matter how many boys tell her that it is the only wayl These helpful ad- visers also sponsor a semi-annual dinner to get the girls acquainted with one another. Any sophomore will tell you that the Home Room Advisers are indispensable! A representative group con- IDENTIFICATION fupper lefrj Rolw I: S. Levitt, D. VVilkins, C. Kelly, S. Hirshberg, M.

This is a democratic group, whose function is to receive com- plaints or suggestions for the bettering of Davis. Then, at regular meetings, they vote on these ideas and submit them to the G. O. for final approval. This democratic system resembles very much our own federal govern- fnent and is a means for further school representation. Be- sides this, the reps sell boosters for school dances and tick- ets to G. O. plays and shows. Although Davis congress- men engage in heated battles, they never use filibustering. O. R.

MOST BEST That smiling lass who directed you to your seat in as- sembly so courteously and efficiently was a member of the Girl Marshals. She represented a body of girls who did much more to serve Davis than just standing around looking prettyl The innumerable small tasks that the Girl Marshals performed were essential to the eHicient operation of the school. For instance, they helped super- vise the lunchrooms and turned the lights Off in the halls after classes had passed. VVhenever some minor job had to be done, Miss Lewis's Girl Marshals were there to help out. One of the foremost of the groups that were constantly working to make your school better for you was the School Interests Committee. The hard-working ten mem- bers prepared the ground for action by the G. O. and had the power to initiate legislation in the G. 0. bearing on the interests of the school. Some of the many school ser- vices and improvements that had their origin during meetings of the School Interests Committee included off- ering a simplification and revising of the G. O. Constitu- tion, working on a G. O. Handbook to be distributed to all sophomores, purchasing a large radio for the school, and preparing a revised list of all the clubs in the school, in addition to passing on all non-athletic honor awards. Miss Young guided this helpful group, whose aim was to improve our school at every opportunity. Among the less heralded standing committees of the G. O. was the small but essential School Publications Committee. This group of five students, supervised by Miss Brower, was consulted on all proposed appropria- tions for the Hi-News , decided on any changes from the standard format of the publication that was proposed by the editor, and passed on honor awards for the editors Of the Hi-News and Maroon and White.
