AAUSIC Pl -A The best band in the city of Nlount Vernon? YVhv it's the Davis band, under the direction of Mr. Licht. ltls the must active civic minded, too. lVhenever a war bond drive, or a P. T. A. meeting was held in Mount Vernon, one heard the drums, and other instruments, doing their best. The Band Parade and Band Concert echoed their wonders to the world, and when Dick Sagman and Abra- ham Greenbaum began to play the flute T well, it was known far and wide. The Band was behind all the football players and with them came the twirlers, who had a hard time keeping their skirts down on those windy days - their sparkling batons twirling, and, at the head of the procession, the Sonnenblick twins, executing those tricky stepsl rliVVIRLEl1S ATH CHARMS Cultural music at Davis came Lllldel' the capable direc- tion of Mr. Nielsen. Even the most unmusical of us sat up and took notice when the choir went through the strains of the Lord's Prayer at our regular assemblies. They really made 'lbeautiful music , especially at the im- pressive Christmas assembly. Stop all workl Forget all testsl - That's the cry that rang out when Mr. Nielsen's clarinets and violins began their practice twice a Week in the auditorium. During the term Rosemary DeBruyn tried to keep the eyes of the orchestra on their music as she conducted the struggling musicians. The highest point was reached however, when the graduates marched down to re- ceive their diplomas while the band played the Re-cessional at the -lune Commencement. BAND When the budget had to be fixed and the musical arrange- ments planned at the Davis mus- icals, the G. O. Music Committee stuck its thumb in and always pulled out, not a plum, but a success. llJliN'l'l l lL'A'l'l0N C'I'opJ Rode I: N. Starr, P. Pfeiffer, Son- nenbliek, Reiner, A. Leighton, M.

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.
