To those who have walked in these halls before
us,
To the shadows lingering in the dust of forgotten
days,
To the hopes and dreams of our alumuig
To the memories buried Within these Walls,
To the standards set up before us,
To the progress that has marched ahead throu
the years . . .
To all these things of the past
Do we dedicate this hook in celebrating a
GOLDEN AGE AT DAVIS.

This, the Colden Anniversary issue of the
Maroon and Wliite, climaxes fifty years of re-
cording the history of our Alma Mater.
Born in the dawn of a new era of mankind,
this publication has survived its humble begin-
nings and has continued through two of the
greatest catastrophes in the history of the world.
The staff has striven to make of this edition
a review worthy of Davis leaders, activities, and
achievements through the years. The reader will
note that the staff writers and artists in the
creation of their book, have presented the past
as a background for the present.

Elizabeth Weistg BOW 2: Mr. Frederick West, Mr. Anthony Scarpino, Mr. Harold Storms, Mr. Jordan
Larson, Mr. Samuel Winokur, Mr. Hugh Kelly, Mr. Alfred Cledhill CMr. Frank Pierce was not present
when this picture was taken.J
The Big Problem this year for the Board
of Education and its president, Mr. Emil F.
Seador, was the planning of the new high school
on the Wartburg Property. This project seemed
to cause much controversy throughout the city,
but we greatly appreciate the fact that our
Board is doing everything it can to hasten the
date of actual construction. We had hoped to
be able to report that the city would allow a
special spring referendum on the approval of
the issuance of bonds for the financing of the
project, but as we go to press, the city's alder-
men have just voted to postpone all voting until
the general election in November.
Another duty of the Board of Education
was to approve the use of funds for the upkeep
6
of the schools. Davis was not neglected, for back
in March we noticed that the halls of Davis were
being repaired prior to the painting of the entire
school this summer.
A great honor came recently to the Board,
when Mrs. Carl S. Weist, one of the newer mem-
bers, for her excellent work on the Board of
Education as well as for her many other im-
portant activities in the city, was elected the
Outstanding Citizen of Mount Vernon for 1949.
When we realize that We have such quali-
Hed and representative citizens on our School
Board, it is no wonder to us that outstanding
accomplishments are made in the educational
developments of the Mount Vernon Public
Schools.
If'. 6Llf'50lfL
For the first time in almost twenty years
a Mount Vernon Superintendent of Schools was
elected to an olhce in a national education organ-
ization, when Mr. Jordan L. Larson was recently
chosen second vice-president of the American
Association of School Administrators. At a Board
of Education meeting, a committee of the Mount
Vernon Teachers Association headed by its
president, Dr. Alfred M. Franko, honored Mr.
Larsonis election. Dr. Franko said, alt is axgreat
honor when one remembers that Mount Vernon
stands 232nd on the list of cities as to size, yet
in almost all we do educationally, we stand at
the top of the listfi It was also stated that the
uround of applause that greeted Mr. Larson's
nomination and his election was the greatest
and most prolonged ever known at such a con-
ventionf,
Surely we are honored to have such an
able person as Mr. Larson as the administrative
head of our school system. We can feel confident
that he will do everything in his power towards
the speedy establishment of a new high school
for future Mount Vernon families.

Miss Catharine I. Rhodes, Assistant Super-
intendent of Schools, as well as lending an ex-
perienced hand to the child guidance clinic, the
Curriculum Study Committees and the expanded
testing program, served recently on the editing
committee of THE EXCHANGE, a release of
the Metropolitan School Study Council. More-
over, considering one of her most important
pieces of work to be that of helping to solve the
building problems, she assisted with surveys and
plans tor a new high school designed to provide
facilities for all the boys and girls of the com-
munity. W
Even though Miss Rhodes supervised all
these activities, she still found time to visit fre-
quently all the secondary schools, including our
own A. B. Davis, so that she might know at first
hand the present school needs. Our thanks to
Miss Rhodes for the many grand things she has
done for us.

'6Mr. Davis was the Mount Vernon High
School. And the Mount Vernon High School
was Mr. Davisf' a former Davis graduate recently
wrote. ,
Mr. A. B. Davis, the first principal of the
Mount Vernon High School, was the adminis-
trator in 1900 when the high school moved to
its own huilding on South Fourth Avenue, and
he continued in that position when the school
moved to the present huilding. In March, 1933,
upon the occasion of Mr. Davis, seventy-fifth
hirtiday, the name of the Mount Vernon High
School was changed to A. B. Davis High School.

ln dedicating your Annual to all those who have
helped to create a Golden Age in Mount Vernon High
School and in Davis High School, you have paid a gracious
and Well-deserved tribute to the students who have pre-
ceded you at Davis and to the teachers who have given
devoted service to our school.
The past is primarily important as a beginning
of the future. Pride in the past is of value only if it causes
us to shape a future of which We can be even more proud.
The proud past of our school should cause every one of
us to be vitally concerned with what Davis will become
in the next fifty years.
The Work of building a high school that will pro-
vide for all the young people of our community the edu-
cational opportunities that are best for them is an un-
finished task. Your interest, your effort, your support are
needed if the next great step forward to better educational
opportunities for the youth of Mount Vernon is to be
successfully taken.
I hope that years hence, when this greater high
school has become a well established reality, you will be
one of those loyal Davisites who can proudly say, NI helped
to build that schoollw
May the years ahead be good to you!
A familiar figure around Davis is, of
course, Dr. Howard G. Spalding, our principal.
Wfhether we see him in the classrooms, the halls,
or the office, his pleasant smile greets us as we
go about our Work. He is responsible, too, for
a great many behind-the-scenes accomplishments
at Davis as well as those tangible results which
we come across every day.
One of the intangible achievements of
the past year of which We seniors may be espe-
cially proud is the revitalizing of the Davis spirit.
For this fine accomplishment We owe much to
our principal. Naturally, the marvelous success
of the athletic teams, the nationally recognized
achievements of the Hi-News, the fine service
of the G. 0. Store, the purchase of the resplendent
band uniforms, the band's magnificent concert,
and the professional performances of the Dra-
matic Society have done much to create this
spirit. But Without Dr. Spalding's inspiration
and encouragement We feel that the spirit that
we love would not have been so distinctly in
evidence.
We as seniors, thank Dr. Spalding sin-
cerely for each and every service that he has
given us during the three years we have been
in high school, and We hope that we can live
up to the fine standards which he has helped to
set for us here at Davis.

Our advisers do more than we shall ever
realize for each and every one of us. Mr. Childs,
vice-principal, specializes in the male population
of Davis which, during the senior year, frequents
his busy office with numerous college applications
many of which must have his approval. Miss
Lewis, dean, on the other hand, gives her expert
advice to the many girls who go to her for in-
formation concerning their programs, their
careers and college choices. Our new guidance
counselor, Mr. Free, received both his BS. and
M.S. degrees in education at the University of
Pennsylvania, later teaching chemistry and gen-
eral science and serving as full-time guidance
counselor at a New Jersey high school. After
four years of instructing aviation cadets and stu-
dent ofiicers in the Navy, he spent three years
in graduate study at the University of Minnesota.
Mr. Free considers his position as guidance coun-
selor at Davis a good opportunity to develop a
program which will be of maximum benefit to
the students.

Dr. Stewart in the front hall was painted. Also,

With this much accomplishment in its

COUNCIL had anything left to do, but, under
the leadership of Presidents Bob Bell and Chink
Childs, the Council saw the G. O. Store opened,
Senior Day initiated, the Band Fest successfully
instituted, the Band Uniform Drive completed.
In addition, the G. O. ploughed through the
regular tasks of the school year and successfully'
accomplished all.
Under the direction of Miss Young, the
industrious GENERAL SCHOOL INTERESTS
COMMITTEE, formed to relieve the G. O. of
some of its tasks, was an influential group in the
school. Not only did appropriations for clubs,
reviewing of new charters and approval of club
investments COlI1C under its scope, but also the
approval and suggestion of names for non-athletic

A blob of paint! A flash of color! A tricky
saying! Those were the identification marks of
the G. O. PUBLICITY COMMITTEE whose
duty it was to see that all school activities were
well advertised. Dances, concerts, Dramatic So-
ciety productions, special contests, shows, sports
events and the like, all came under their artistic
jurisdiction.
Wvhen it came to sports, the BOYS' ATH-
LETIC COMMITTEE were the ones to see. In
charge of arranging and coordinating contests,
games and meets, they were really important in
helping Davis come out on top.
The GIRLS' ATHLETIC COMMITTEE
did for the stronger members of the fair sex what
the boys' committee did in their turn. It was

due to their efforts that the sports schedule ran

Representatives of the band, orchestra,

MUSIC COMMITTEE. Aside from arranging
enjoyable music assemblies, they also helped
sponsor concerts and saw that all music, instru-
ments and stands were properly cared for.
First organized in 1942 by Miss Brower,
the SCHOOL PUBLICATIONS COMMITTEE
acted as an advisory group for both the nHi-
News" and the 'gMaroon and White." Also in
control of the purse strings, it considered and
passed on the expenditures of both publications.
Lately, this committee has had the responsibility
of recommending awards for those who have
rendered honorable service to Davis' publications.

Sheer hard work and vigorous unrelenting
campaigning by some seventy-odd eighth grade
pupils and their parents had shattered prece-
dents and worn down all resistance until success
had rewarded their hard work, their faith, hope
and necessity, for by September, 1899, Mount
Vernon High School had a building of its own
in what is now the Administration Building on
Fourth Avenue.
It is A. B. Davis, the schoo1's first principal,
to whom we owe so much. Not only was it his
crusading which helped to sell the idea of the
school to the town but also his continued guid-
ance that helped it move toward the top.
Of the school's early organizations the two
best known were Sigma Delta Epsilon and Con-
gress. The former was the girls' debating society,
the latter, for boys. It might be said that these
groups were the ancestors of every one of Davis'
modern clubs.
Along with these groups, Davis had socie-
ties devoted to sports, and in the 'teens, girls'
sports held sway. Basketball was the major in-
terest and 'GNausicaa", the girls' team, set a record
for good sportsmanship which few teams could
outdo.
The Annuals of Davis are filled with the
records of great athletes and great teams. In the
first thirty years of the century, there were no
teams in Westchester that could come close to
Davis in high school sports. However, the con-
version into a two-year high school hindered us,
and it has not been until the last few years that
our teams have risen to the top of the county.
We find names of those who have stood
out in all-around performance: Harry Miller, a
five-letter man in 19059 Frank Carideo, one of
Davis, greatest football stars who Went on to be-
come an immortal at Notre Dame, Ralph Branca,
a mainstay of the Brooklyn Dodgers, pitching
staff, and Teddy Ramsey, who, in the past few
years, has been the outstanding all-around athlete
in Westchester County.
Along with our great athletes, there have
been outstanding teams. From 1900 to 1904 Davis
was the county track champion, and we recon-
quered this position in 1908, 1914, 1920, 1922, and
1927. Earl Oswald came to Davis in 1926 and the
following year led our runners to victory in the
Penn Relays. 'GDad" White and Leroy Mills were
great coaches of the past.
Our football teams have been among the
best in the county many times. Our top seasons
were 1901, 1906, 1911, 1913, 1921, 1922, 1924, 1926,
1928, and 1949. In 1926 our eleven scored 354
points, while holding our opposition to 7.
Basketball quintets have also had their
heyday. It was not until 1913 that Davis failed
to win the county championship, while teams in
1915, 1924, and 1925 also proved to he the best
in Westchester. In 1902 Davis even beat Princeton
and Columbia Universities.
ln the past fifty years, the baseball teams
of 1908, 1913, 1924 and 1949 have proved out-
standing, with perhaps 1913 the greatest, for in
that year, the team had a batting average of .348.
However, this period showed mainly a
change in the atmosphere of the school. The
19
spirit was still there and going strong, every-
thing was growing, developing like a new build-
ing upon its foundations.
The roaring twenties zoomed in and
brought glory on the sports field as well as on
the academic front. lt was not only a matter of
the quality of the student attending the school
but also the standards of the school in the making
of the student. World War I had come, and Davis
students W-on a reputation for doing their part.
Thirty former students willingly and unselfishly
gave their lives. Meanwhile other alumni had
distinguished themselves in professions and jobsg
others went on to college and became great in
their own way.
Through the changes in building, prin-
cipals, teachers, and students, through the de-
pression years, and on to the present, Davis has
given a good account of herself. Davis is rolling
on.
In the forties, during World War ll, every-
one in the school put his shoulder to the wheel.
Many seniors enlisted and one hundred eleven
Davis heroes gave Htheir last full measure of
devotionf' Those who could not fight for their
country bought and sold war bonds, and Davis'
sales topped those of every other school in the
20
area. lt has always been a worthwhile tradition
here for every student to support his fellow
schoolmates.
And Davis continues to blaze new trails.
.lust last year after-school dances were started,
and this year a success is being made of the
school store, our football team slaughtered New
Rochelle, a team which was unscored upon until
it played ours. The Dramatic Society presented
great plays and the 64l'li-News" continued to win
top journalistic honors.
But if you should stop to listen, you can
plainly hear another debate in full swing-Shall
we build a new school? Some fifty odd years ago
Mt. Vernon heard the same cries. How will she
react this time? Will she come to the aid of
our education system, which in the past has pro-
duced some of the leaders in today's world? To
mention just a few of the many the staff has
learned of, there are a national authority on
city planning, a reporter covering the Yalta Con-
ference, a chemist awarded one thousand dollars
by DuPont for research in medicine, a foreign
correspondent for one of the country's leading
newspapers, several important educators and gov-
ernment officials, and an archeologist for the
Museum of Natural History who has made sig-
nificant explorations.

A flash! A boom! A cloud of
smoke! And the CHEMISTRY CLUB
is off on another experiment. Orig-
inating seven years ago and recently
under the direction of Mr. Spielman
and Mr. Mazziotta, this ambitious
group of mad scientists invaded the
chem lab every week.
Independent of the G. O., they
passed a hat every now and then to
buy the necessary equipment and
chemicals. A busy program included
field trips, movies, and a big party at
the end of the year. However, the main
part of their agenda was the demon-
strations prepared by the members.
The activities of the chemistry club
prove that Einstein has nothing on
Davis.
Serious young scientists found
in the ADVANCED SCIENCE group
opportunities for experiments beyond
the line of class duty. The members
gave freely of their study periods in
order to acquire more lab time to work
at their Nobsessionw. The goal of all
these Chem-men was the Westinghouse
Scholarship, a sum awarded by the
Westinghouse Corporation for out-
standing work in science. This year,
one of the members achieved honor-
able mention in this competition.

Anyone who ventured too near room 306
while the BIOLOGY CLUB was in session was
in danger of finding himself with one less finger
or possibly one less hand, for the members of
the club had decided to watch the growth of
hamsters, small rodents with very sharp teeth.
The result of this was a weekly exodus from
room 306 to the nurse's office. This hamster study
was just one of the many animal experiments
performed by the members of the club this year,
under the sponsorship of Dr. Ruth E. Landis.
The members of the club also adopted
the Rosary Hill Hospital, which cares for can-
cerous poor. Making pads and bandages for the
patients was among their contributions to this
hospital.
Is it going to rain tomorrow? Davisites
no longer had to guess. All they needed to do
was consult the FORECASTERS, formerly the
Meteorology Club, which was reorganized at the
beginning of the Fall term to give students some
practical experience in the use and interpretation
of weather instruments and weather maps.
The science department furnished a num-
ber of very excellent instruments such as the
barograph, humidograph, and thermograph. Club
members were assigned certain days on which
to read the instruments and make forecasts for
the next twenty-four hours. These turned out to
be fairly accurate. By the end of the year many
of the members had become adept at reading
weather signs and making forecasts.

As one passed 303B on a Thurs-
day afternoon, one might hear the
strange sounds of a foreign language.
It was not surprising, for within, the
members of EL ATENEO-the Span-
ish club to you-were practicing their
favorite tongue. Founded thirty years
ago by its present faculty adviser, Miss
Florence Leighton, the club has had
a long and colorful history. With im-
proving the Spanish spoken by Davis-
ites as its primary purpose, it met
semi-monthly, usually for a session of
games and songs. The special plans for
this year included a discussion of the
schools in Spain and Columbia and
a trip to see a Spanish play.
When 'GAllons enfants de la pat-
rie" echoed through the halls, it was
obvious that LE CERCLE FRANCAIS
was beginning another meeting under
the direction of Miss Quinlan and Miss
Cheney. The members presented
French skits which were designed to
give added practice in speaking and
understanding French. On alternate weeks the
French Club packed boxes of school supplies,
ftoy cars and trucks for the boys, and small dolls
for the girlsj to be sent to L7Ecole Saint Joseph
in France, adopted by Davis last year. At Christ-
mas time, each member of the club sent a card
to a French child in Flers and Thionville.
and ouci
"On parle francais ici" is the
appropriate motto of SANS SOUC1,
Davis, third year French Club spon-
sored by Mrs. Stiles. The purpose of
this organization, which was founded
in 1909 by Miss Edna Palmer, was to
provide its members with an oppor-
tunity for practice in speaking correct
French.
The members, adorned with
their round gold "Fleur de Lis" pins,
met semi-monthly at each other's
homes. These gatherings were spirit-
edly French, but those present found
they could easily talk their way out of
involved conversations by using their
widely practiced ale ne sais pas." The
faces of the students were usually
beaming when listening, except for an
occasional dull, blank look, for all
members had averages of 85 per cent or better
in French.
1950 was one of the clubis best seasons,
for three guests from France added atmosphere
to "les rendezvous" by becoming members. They
enlivened the meetings by telling of French life,
customs, legends and history fen francaisl. Thus
the members received valuable first-hand in-
formation.

6'1'm in favor of the Marshall Plan",
argued a member of the History Club, for again
room 311 was in the throes of debate.
Closing the door carefully behind her,
Mrs. Hiller escaped to the solitude of the third
floor hall and proceeded to tell us of the history
of her club. fAn earlier History Club organized
in 1913, had terminated in 19215.
'4Our club was founded back in 1944 and
has been making history ever since," she said
with a smile. ulilvery year we go to the opera,
the UN, and other places of historical interest.
Last year it was the Stock Exchange and the
Federal Reserve Bank, this year we saw GAida,
at the Met.

latest meeting of the club, of the orators, the
PUBLIC SPEAKING CLUB. With the assistance
of Miss Brower, the sophomores and juniors this
year organized in order to improve themselves
in the art of speaking.
Meeting twice a month, the members
practiced the fundamentals of parliamentary
procedure and extemporaneous speeches as well
as prepared talks. With this invaluable experi-
ence behind them, many members entered the
Extemporaneous Speaking Contests. The winners
in the Junior Extemporary Contest that were
members of the club were Catherine LaGuardia
and Frances Baird. Sophomore Winners who
were members of the club were James Stasheff
and Stephen Warshall.

Another of Mr. Sundermannis smoothly
running clubs was the ACCOUNTING CLUB.
With their books balancing consistently and
their figures adding up accurately, the members
received good basic training in their future pro-
fession. This activity also helped the students
perfect their school work, since the members
were all enrolled in commercial courses.
This year, members took a trip to a down-
town bank, heard several speakers, one of whom
was Mr. Sobek from the Mount Vernon Trust
Company, and discussed the intricacies of book-
keeping and accounting at their Thursday after-
noon meetings.
Founded in 194-7, the club has done much
in providing a useful extracurricular activity at
Davis.

The activities of the SERVICE CLUB
since 1930 have been exactly what the name
implies. During their study periods, members
served the school in many ways. Although the
students might have had anything but kindly
feelings toward the attractive girl who collected
that udeadlyn pink slip, the former had to recog-
nize that that activity of the Service Club was
also an important one. Daily, a visitor to the
office could see ambitious young ladies plying
their tasks of typing, tiling, sorting mail, and
acting as junior secretaries to the administration.
Still another notable activity of this club
was the publishing of a magazine called HThe
Greggitew, written entirely in shorthand.
In respect to loyalty and effort in making
our school tops, the Service Club cannot be
beaten.

Hart Hussey: the other. a younger face, belonged
to our own Clifford Storms. The corridors of
City Hall echoed with eager footsteps on De-
cember T. 19-19. Once more the members of OUR
TOWN CLUB had taken command of the inner
workings of the government of the city of Mount
Vernon.
From the fourth floor fire alarm system
to the basement dental clinic, interested students
explored City Hall. Behind the impressive doors
of the Wlater Bureau, the student commissioner
poured anxiously over charts showing the serious-
ness of the current water shortage. Two floors
above, within the confines of the Department of
Public Wforks, "officials" for the day appraised
the plans for the housing projects under con-
struction on Site A. Davisites recorded in the
official ledgers of Mount Vernon everything from
marriages, in the ofhce of the City Clerk, to
deaths, in the Bureau of Vital Statistics. For one
day Mount Vernon was really f'Our Town."
It was one afternoon five years ago that
one hundred fifty Davisites filed into the audi-
torium on the Hill Top for the first meeting of
Our Town Club. Advised by its founder, Mrs.
Walter Addis, the members visited City Hall for
the first time on December 7, 1945, but over night
A DAY AT THE DENTAL CLINIC
Olflflfl
Our Town Club had become the largest and most
popular club at Davis.
A tradition of efficiency grew up over the
years among the elected and appointed uofficialsf,
The best example of this took place during the
first Our Town Day in 194-5. So seriously did the
Commissioner of Public Works take his responsi-
bility that he arose at dawn and was supervising
garbage disposal at the city incinerator at the
early hour of six-thirty. No wonder that our
municipal employees were impressed by the
'fofficialsw for the day!
But back again to this year! Across the
street from City Hall a student commissioner
learned Mount Vernon's methods of law enforce-
ment at the Police Department. A Davisite ac-
companied the fire chief in his bright red sedan
to the scene of a minor blaze. Farther south in
'fOur Town" the 'fSuperintendent of Schoolsw
and the "President of the Board of Education"
saw for the first time the other side of our school
system. From Bronxville to the Bronx, from
Yonkers to Pelham, members of Our Town Club
saw and ran the City of Mount Vernon, while
their official acts were carefully recorded by the
photographer of the uDaily Argusf' whose editor,
in turn, loaned these photographs to the 6fMaroon
and Wfhitef'
Some day in the future the green curtain
of the voting booth will be before us. It will be
our responsibility to choose the people who will
direct our city government. Who will be better
prepared than a member of Our Town Club,
who has seen and worked in City Hall, to choose
the future officials of the City of Mount Vernon?
Although December 7 was the biggest day
on the club calendar, members met every two
weeks during the year under the supervision of
its new adviser, Miss Rouget. Movies, speakers,
and other means were used to bring 'fOur Townw
closer to club members. Many members realized
for the first time that although they had lived
here all their lives they had never witnessed the
inner workings of the government of their own
home town. As one member admitted rather
sheepishly, 'GI saw Congress in session, but I
had never been inside City Hall, before joining
Our Town Club."

As time marched on, new advances in
science resulted in new activities in high school.
Unlike the graduate of 1900, this year's high
school senior was given the advantage of today's
progressive visual education, which included the
showing of slides and motion pictures.
In the spring of 1947 the Davis PROJEC-
TION CLUB was formed under the sponsorship
of Miss Agnes Padou. This club was organized
with the purpose of teaching students to operate
Davis slide and movie projectors. Trained op-
erators then helped any teacher who wanted films
shown in his class. -
Through the year this club performed a
valuable service for its high school, and all
students were familiar with the boy or girl who
'Lunflinchinglyw gave up a class period to show
a film which would hold the lucky audience spell-
bound.

Since its organization eight years ago, the
Davis RIFLE TEAM has continually copped the
W. I. A. A. rifle crown as well as placing in
several Metropolitan Area matches. Under the
watchful eye of Coach Jack Caville, new recruits
are brought up each fall through the Basic
Small Arms Course which instructs new mem-
bers in the parts and care of a rifle, correct shoot-
ing positions, and good sighting technique. At
their weekly meetings rifle

Progress has been the byword of the Davis
CAMERA CLUB, which has been in existence
since 1939. For the past three years, under the
able leadership of Mr. Miller, our Davis photo-
fiends have been clicking with great success.
Formerly hindered by a lack of equip-
ment and money, The Davis lensmen have risen
from the previous depths of despair to the present
heights of photographic art. Ever striving for
added knowledge, the club arranged a program
of demonstrations and experiments designed to
attract any sincere photographer. Posted on all
modern techniques, they even took some pictures
for the best yearbook in the country!
Rising from the developer and solidifying
in the fixer, our club expected to he framed
as the best club in Davis. If effort and ability
count at all, Mr. Mil1er,s boys should make it.
Some authorities say that they have already done
so.
L'Ooh, that hurts", cried one of the brave
fencers as he awkwardly parried a blow. Yes, the
FENCING CLUB members were at it again, but
they no longer had a coach. This circumstance,
however, did not force the club to give up any
more than it had in some of the other years since
1939, when it was a struggle for would-be fencers
to develop club teams.
At the onset of its history, the Fencing
Club had an excellent record. Guilio D'Angio,
who was one of Davis' iinest fencers, acted as
coach. After he left, there was no one to guide
the members, so the c1ub's activities practically
discontinued. ln 1948 and 1949 while Mr. 'Os-
borne, an interested citizen, acted as coach, the
club revived marvelously, with the team winning
five victories. This year, although the club was
without an instructor, one could still hear foils
ringing in room 9.

Two contestants sat facing each other in
room 207 awaiting the final moment, every nerve
straining. These two tense people were members
of the CHESS CLUB, sponsored by Mr. Phillips,
about to engage in this game of skill.
As they sat, visions of checkmates danced
through their heads, and well they might, as any
game played in the club might lead to a place
on the Davis Chess Team.
This close competition between the mem-
bers was, perhaps, the reason for the team's
superlative record. Since its inception in 1918,
Davis has won the Westchester chess crown six-
teen years out of the thirty-two, the last seven
in a row.
G'Three no trumpfi said South, "six
spadesf, countered East, g'Pass," cried North
and West excitedly. Miss Brown stood by in
amazement while East made a Grand Slam.
This was a typical meeting of those for-
tunate members of the BRIDGE CLUB who
since 1947 have gathered in the teachers lunch-
room every 2nd and 4th Tuesday in order to
perfect their skill. During these 'asojournsw the
members were at liberty to play at whatever table
they chose, always guided by the expert technical
advice of Miss Brown.
To prove that the Bridge Club was strictly
Min the knoww as to card games, the organization
straying slightly from its implied title, practiced
the fine art of Canasta. And so, we leave one more
frozen deck to the ardent members of the Bridge
Club.

Highballing along the main iron for the
fifth successful year. the Railmcn were as red hot
as an engine piston. A visit to the Harmon and
Hott-Haven yards of the New York Central and
a trip to the Wfestchester Model Club in Pelham
Manor were among the activities enjoyed by the

enthusiastic guidance of Mr. Sundermann.

The finer points of philately were dis-
cussed by the STAMP CLUB under the direction
of Mr. Kurtz. The members exchanged stamps
at their semi-monthly meetings. Although Web-
ster defines stamps as ulabels which legalize a
document", our philatelists discovered their
hidden meaning.
A rap of the gavel and the judge awarded
one more victory to the DEBATING SOCIETY.
Since 1906 this organization has many times
'tcome out on top".
At the onset t'Congress" was the original
title, however in recent years the name was
changed in honor of Mr. C. Bishop Johnson, a
well-beloved teacher. Now it is under the able
sponsorship of Mr. Searle.

The CHOIR, which was formed in 1948 by
Mr. Nielsen, has only advanced singers. Among
their many interesting activities was a trip to
Grand Central Station where they sang Christmas
Carols, an afternoon's singing at the Westchester
Womanis Club, and a program of Christmas music
for the members of the Exchange Club, and as
a climax to their first term's work, participation
in the Sectional Music Festival of the N. Y. State
School Music Association at White Plains. One
has only to hear them sing to appreciate the cul-
tural value they add to Davis.
36
Do-re-mi-fa-so-la-ti-do is still our musical
scale although the alto, bass and soprano parts
in the Davis CHORUS have many times changed
hands. From the time when the group was formed
by Mr. Nielsen in his senior year at Davis until
1944, it functioned under two separate names-
'4The Boys' Glee Club" and MThe Girls, Glee
Club." Finally, co-education Won out and the two
groups united to form the Davis Chorus.
Now, adorned in new choir robes and sup-
plied With electric candles, the Chorus adds great-
ly to our assemblies and musical programs.

Through the Windows of room 207, a
medley of musical sounds reached the ears of
Pop Phillips. uClose those windows!" shouted the
popular teacher of Caesar and Cicero. Yes, the
eighth period had arrived with the ORCHESTRA
adding to Davis High the sounds of its practice.
During the last period every Tuesday and
Thursday afternoons, the orchestra, under the
capable direction of Mr. Randall, could be found
patiently practicing. Each time the Dramatic
Society gave a performance, the orchestra was
there, adding its musical background to the suc-
cess of the production. Traveling each year to
White Plains for the County Music Festival, the
orchestra members, as a result of their constant
practice, brought honor not only to themselves.
but to Davis High. Ending each year on a solemn
note, the orchestra accompanies the maroon-clad
graduates as they march proudly out of Wood
Auditorium, diplomas in hand.
It was in another era, in the year 1906,
that the auditorium of Mount Vernon High first
echoed with the sounds of a school orchestra.
During that eventful Winter the group, underlhe
direction of its founder, Mr. Emil Nielsen, dis-
tinguished itself by playing the uPinafore" at
the City Opera House. In those days the orchestra
was made up entirely of boys, for it was not until
almost ten years later that feminine musicians
joined the orchestra of Mount Vernon High.
Now, forty-four years later, the orchestra
is still one of the largest and most active organ-
izations at Davis. Each Tuesday and Thursday
afternoons, Mr. Randall raises his baton and the
forty odd members start to play. 4
Far above in 207 Pop Phillips was heard
to shout, "Open that Window! Thcy're playing
my favorite kind of music, Latin American!"

Davisites are so accustomed to the sound
of their BAND at football games and similar
affairs that they take their talented Sousa-men
for granted. However, prior to 1939 there was
no such musical organization to give life to the
school. Why, at that time students could actually
study in silence!
The band's tremendous spirit has carried
it to new heights this year, the program being
climaxed in the opinion of some with the best
band concert in the history of the school. At
this event, from the moment MDoc" Randall, their
inspired leader, stepped to the podium, Hill
Toppers knew that their band was something
to be proud of. After the last of the be-bop, blues,
and marches had been heard, a show of appre-
ciation was given by the crowd that bought tears
to the eyes of many stalwart musicians.
Earlier this year, the students showed
their faith in the Band by successfully completing
a community-wide drive for new uniforms, cap-
tained by Miss Brown and Doctor Landis. Scenes
from the drive at the police station and along
the route of the parade are shown on the opposite
page.
Although they are a closely-knit unit, the
Band is divided into several sections, the best
illustration of these being the brass sextet. Show-
ing iine uesprit de corps", they have delighted
Davis assemblies several times as well as sup-
porting the band fest with their efforts.
While proving their Worth in competitive
recitals at White Plains, members of our band
received several individual HAM Ratings. This
merely verified the fact that they are as good
as We, the students, think they are.
Credit must also go to Ted Pizzarello, the
leading participator in Band activities. Through
his work in promoting the band uniform drive,
and his inspired music while playing in the
Band, Ted must be recognized as Davis' number
one up-and-coming musician.
All Davis agree that, after a successful
year, the Davis High School Band has many
more triumphs within their grasp, and all antici-
pate a future Band recital.

Back in the early 1900's, the Mount Ver-
non High School ANNUAL reproduced pictures
of coy flappers, stern teachers and romantic ath-
letes. As the times changed, so did the Annual,
and in 1926 the MAROON and WHITE emerged
-a new name and a modern format.
On bright, sunny afternoons, when most
Davisites were enjoying cherished freedom, the
ambitious members of the MAROON AND
WHITE EDITORIAL STAFF labored amidst
clicking typewriters, past annuals, pictures to
be identified, senior polls, hundreds of reports,
stories and art plates.
In charge of the less glamorous side of
producing the yearbook was the MAROON AND
WHITE BUSINESS BOARD. If it were not for
the seemingly endless task of arranging student
and faculty photo appointments, selling sub-
scriptions to students, selling advertisements,
securing payments, filing letters, bank statements
and financial reports, keeping the books bal-
anced, plus delivering the yearbook to the
awaiting subscribers, the job of the Business
Board would be a comparatively simple one.
However, under the expert guidance of Mr.
Sundermann, who this year assisted with his
twelfth issue of the uMaroon and White", every-
thing was done efficiently and promptly.
Much credit for this year's Annual goes
to Harold Schwartz and Josh Furman, co-editors,
Richard Pielli, whose beautiful cover design we
are proud of, Paul Mulaire, who completed three
years of service on the art staff, Miss Hall and
Mr. Dodds, who supervised the art work, Miss
Cahalan, the guiding light of the Editorial
Board, Mr. Sundermann, and their combined
staffs of approximately fifty Writers, artists, typists
and business assistants.
The first annual, appearing in 1900, was
produced with a much smaller staff. Started by
only four editors, the complete book cost less
than one hundred dollars, many times less than
today's expenses. We were fortunate to have one
of those original editors, Mr. Albert S. Davis,
return fifty years later to pose with his young
successors of 1950 as shown on the opposite page.

Cuckoo? Who's Cuckoo? Why the HI-
NEWS, of course! Not all the time or it would
never have been able to walk away with first
honors at the Columbia Press Convention each
year, but the annual April Fool's Issue was cer-
tainly '6Cuckoo.9"
April Fool's Day came in with a bang this
year as the bright orange uDazed Lo-News" was
distributed to the students. The paper featured
many unusual stories. Perhaps you remember
the article uChink Foils Brink," which had a
half page picture of the former's notorious auto-
mobile in front of the freight yards with uban-
dits" Cliff Storms and Frank Spicciati 'cshooting
it out," or maybe you recall the picture of Davis
going up in smoke as a result of a direct hit from
an H-Bomb.
At the Columbia Scholastic Press Con-
vention Martin I-Iarris, Editor-in-chief, was chair-
man of a forum 'iMake-up in a School News-
paper". Several other members of the uI'Ii-News"
Staff participated in the discussion along with
student editors from all parts of the country.
All the members of the staff were permitted to
attend the convention, which lasted for three
42
days. On the last day, a luncheon was held at
the Waldorf-Astoria Hotel in New York City at
which the Sunday Editor of the NEW YORK
TIMES spoke to the group.
From little acorns big oak trees grow, and
the MO1'acle", the infant Hi-News, started in 1900
as a semi-monthly journal. But an energetic
EDITORIAL BOARD could not be kept down.
Within a few years, its publication became a
monthly journal, containing news, literary work,
sports stories, and even gossip. When the name
of our school was changed to Davis High School
in 1933, the uOracle" went through a metamor-
phosis and emerged as the A. B. Davis uI'Ii-News".
In order to get all the work done in its
proper place, the present Editorial Board was
divided into four main sections-news, feature,
sports, and make-up, with Mr. George Cohen,
Davis teacher, as the faculty adviser.
This year, for the first time since the
MI'Ii-News" has been in operation, the paper
changed its size and make-up. The six-page, four-
column edition was no more, but in its place
was a more effectively printed four-page, six-
column paper.

Behind the door of 204B, mysterious and
isolated, at the end of the second floor, one could
see the hurly-burly, confusion, and disputation
that went into the making up of each issue of
the f'Hi-News". In 1901, the paper was called
the "Oracle", but after the building of A. B.
Davis High School on the hilltop, it took the
name of the dHi-Newsw to coincide with its high
position.
The main duty of the H1-NEWS BUSI-
NESS BOARD was the financial responsibility
of the paper. Perhaps this accounted for the
tendency of some of the members of the staff to
write on the walls! They were trying to balance
the books! Another important and highly diffi-
cult job was obtaining subscriptions from the
students. This past year, with the aid of the force-
ful MHi-News" Reps, more than eleven hundred
persons subscribed. A new plan was introduced
in taking subscriptions. If someone was desirous
of buying the paper, but was not able to do so
at the time of the drive, he could give a fraction
of the sum to the Rep and pay the rest when he
was financially prepared. Such a plan proved very
successful in helping those students who daily
frequented ltchums and the Broken Drum.
Students on the Board learned the best
method of approaching people when asking for
ads, the art of cooperating with others, and the
actual work involved in publishing a high school
newspaper. Entirely written, edited, copy-read,
galley-read, proofread, and circulated by the
staffs, the HHi-Newsf' was available only by sub-
scription. '
This year, the staff again attended the
Annual Columbia Scholastic Press Association
Conference at Columbia University, where they
conducted a forum on 'Tinancing a School Paper
Through Advertisingw. The paper received first
honor rating for the sixth consecutive year, along
with first place in the National Scholastic Press
Association Contest of Minnesota, and the Empire
State Award given by the University of Syracuse.
With these excellent awards went Mr. Altschuler's
thirteenth year as a very able faculty adviser and
forty-nine years of praise for a wonderful news-
paper.

'al want three volunteers to help at the
game tonightfyou, you, and you." Shades of
214-1 There goes Miss Brown's "voluntary co-
ercion" again. Besides helping at Davis basketball
games, BOY MARSHALS served at the football
games selling programs and helping with the Band
Uniform Drive thus carrying on their tradition
begun in 1915 of service to the school and to the
community.
During the first year of the Marshals, or
Boys' Police, they carried billies CMiss Brown
44-
could use one of them nowj and assisted the
regular Municipal Police with traffic on Saturday
mornings. Wherever there was need then for
police assistance, Mr. Childs and his Boys' Police
were on hand.
The duties of the Marshals have increased
considerably as has their enrollment. Besides
the aforementioned jobs, the Marshals, from
their posts, kept traffic moving smoothly through
the balls, collected attendance cards, and assisted
in the seating of students in assembly.
This year Homeroom 214 also played host
to Supri Prakof-Santisukh, an exchange student
from Siam, and presented him with a gift. They
hope to see him again as he seemed anxious to
return to Mount Vernon.

Yes, these were those helpful GIRL
MARSHALS who had aided you in finding your
classroom, oh so long ago when you were a soph-
omore and Davis seemed a surging mass pushing
from room to room. Assembly programs were
made more orderly and seating arrangements
simpler through the efforts of these upper class
women.
They devoted their ninth periods to li-
brary duty checking the books that left the
library, and they spent part of their lunch periods
making sure that no utensils were removed from
the lunch room. They also joined forces with the
Boy Marshals in an effort to keep lunch students
ufrom aimlessly wandering around the halls Lun-
intentionally' disturbing classes which were in
session."
gzf ma...
Under the supervision of Miss Lewis, head
Marshals Betty Freedenberg and Marilyn Fried-
man directed the entire force and managed to
keep the school operating smoothly.
Another one of their many services to the
school was their locker duty. They Mpatrolledw the
halls in the morning after all the other members
of the student body were safely in their home-
rooms. If they spied a girl's locker open they
closed it, thus performing one more service to
the school and earning the gratitude of all with
whom they came in contact.

Doctor H. R. takes the pulse of Davis every
month through his assistants, the H. R. REPS.
These elected officers represent each home room
and form a useful group for service to the school.
Organized in 1940, the Reps this year took on
their most responsible task to date. ln addition
to representing the students, they tried to help
the school store by advertising and selling the
weekly specials. Having three members on the
G. O. council, the Reps are also in a position to
rectify any student grievances.

The HOME ROOM ADVISERS, a group
started in 1937 by Miss Lewis, have, indeed
proven to be a great source of help to new
Davisites. This year, many of them joined a new
home room of Sophs only.
They also gave the Sophs a party called
wllhe Sophomore Saluten. Entertainment in-
cluded a one-act play, NAnge1 Child", put on by
the Dramatic Society, two movies, and a com-

"Mt: Childs will be free in a minute," said
the girl with a smile, as she looked from her
homework-covered desk.
Plagued with visions of 200's on his col-
lege boards, the nervous Davisite took his place
in line to wait his turn. Minutes later, he went
forward to hear his fate, encouraged by the girl's
friendliness. He knew she was one of the RE-
CEPTIONISTS, the chosen few who traded study
periods for the opportunity of serving Mr. Childs.
She, like others before her since 1941,
looked upon this familiar scene for a moment
and then returned to her neglected homework.
In order to bring the activities of the
"Hilltoppers'9 to the attention of the residents of
the community there appeared at intervals in
the "Daily Argus", under the sponsorship of
Mr. Copp, a column entitled 'GDAVIS DOTS
AND DASI-IES". The alert Davisites pictured
below managed to be at the right place at the
right time to get news. They presented an ac-
curate record of the major events at Davis, as
Well as honoring those Davis students who man-
aged to achieve an average of 90 per cent or
better.

Each member could probably tell of the
time spent in calculating percentages, stretching
points, and doing extra work, all with one goal
in mind. Also not to be forgotten are the agonized
moments these candidates spent at the bulletin
board, scanning the newly posted list for the
familiar nomenclature, the indignant dash to
Miss Low to see why they were not mentioned,
the sigh of relief upon finding out that the
omission was merely a mistake.
Naturally, for some geniuses, it was all
merely a matter of course, and there was no
extra work, worry or anticipation involved.
However, the effort was all repaid in the end by
the ample reward received from acquiring mem-
bership in Tau Epsilon Pi-that of having been
worthy of a great personal honor and having made
one's years of work at Davis worthy of remem-
brance and recognition.

Leadership! Scholarship! Character!
Service! These are the standards of the NA-
TIONAL HONOR SOCIETY, whose symbol is
the flaming torch. It was in 1922 that there first
appeared at Davis a chapter of this society, which
extends throughout the United States, Alaska,
and the Philippines. Its members, the worthiest
in the senior class, are chosen by the student body
and the faculty.
Every spring and fall new members are
initiated into the ranks of the Society at an in-
spiring Honor Assembly. The job does not end
here, however, for the National Honor Society
was one of the most active organizations at Davis.
The Leadership Committee devotes itself to rep-
resenting Davisg Scholarship workers tutor stu-
dents who need extra help, the Character
builders help busy teachers and proctor classes
in case of a teacheris absence, Service helps
whenever necessary, giving make-up tests and
co-operating with the Parent-Teachers Associa-
tion. This year, as a new activity, members
started computing lists of all those who bavc
belonged to the Society since 1922. This list will
be valuable if and when an alumni organization
is formed.

Each year the Society and all Davis Honor
Students are guests of the P.T.A. at an honor
dinner. Parents and friends are also invited to
spend an interesting evening as a last memory
of the best of high school days.
The National Honor Society truly repre-
sents the best in Davis, and it is an organization
of which we can be justly proud.

have had the Davis DRAMATIC SOCIETY in

sisted of the "defendant's" acting out a selection
from a play of his choice, as well as a pantomime

The first act of "The History of the Dra-

of this organization was to enjoy Broadway pro-
ductions. and to read one-act plays at club meet-
ings. During the NSecond Act", from 1922 to
about 1940, the club's activities expanded to
holding social gatherings at the homes of mem-
bers and giving an annual play in the assembly.
This assembly program went over so well that
the G. O. suggested having the D. S. give evening
performances and charge admission.
ln Act 111, the finale of this a'History of
the D. S.", we are well aware of the splendid

by the members of this talented group. These
versatile actors have produced everything from
"Little Women" 119221 to "1dylls of the King"
119433 , with more recent hits like 'QLost Horizon",
"Dear Ruth", the current L'Smilin' Through",
and 'fl Remember Mama". This organization
certainly deserves our own Davis Academy
Award!
Whom do you predict to be the "toast of
Broadway" in 1960? It is sure to be a former
member of the NATIONAL THESPIANS, the
group that obtained the highest possible honor
available to high school dramatics students.
Versatility was the keyword for success,
because in order to qualify, each candidate par-
ticipated in at least 200 hours of active work,
staging, directing, and preparing properties as
well as appearing behind the footlights.
Lights! Camera! Action! All set? This
was the behind-the-scenes view of the everready
STAGE CREW. These Htechniciansw never ceased
in their activity, it seemed, and since the scenery
could help either to make or break each play,
they were, in part, responsible for the success
of the D. S. productions.

'gBuy a program please!" Does that sound
familiar? If you attended any of the football
games last fall, then you probably saw attractive
young ladies imploring you to uplease buy a pro-
gram". These were the same girls who sold candy
after school in the halls, worked at the G. O. store
during their study periods, sold pennants and
banners at the rallies, and gave a Christmas party
for the Mount Vernon Day Nursery. Their fund-
raising tasks resulted in money for both the stu-
dent college fund and the G. O. treasury. They
also contributed to the fund for the poor at
Thanksgiving.

Working hard at promoting friendly in-
ternational relations, the Davis JUNIOR RED
CROSS Chapter recently sent an album to Turkey
in order to acquaint the boys and girls with the
American school system, as well as with the city,
state and national government. For the first time
also, a First Aid course was initiated at Davis.
The month of April saw Margot Rusch
and David Sagman at Grasslands Hospital, where
they entertained for the sick. This year, more-
over, added prestige was brought to the club by

25 years given its time and energy freely. It would
be necessary to increase the number of deeds in
the motto-Do a good deed every dayyin order
that it serve as the motto of this fine organization.
Hats off to their hard-working sponsor, Miss
Breining, and to the girls of Alpha Tau Delta,
whose objective has always been to secure aid
for those in need. Undoubtedly Mount Vernon
in the future will reap the reward in social bene-
fits through the efforts of these workers who
received their training early.

represent Westchester at a White Plains Con-
ference.
The club was first organized in 1930 by
a group of girls who uwanted to help." During
World War II the organization divided into
Bundles for Britain and similar groups, all under
the direction of the Red Cross.
Now the club does everything from send-
ing gifts to the tuberculosis hospital to packing
gift boxes for abroad.

With much honking of horns and calling
back and forth, about fifteen girls set out daily
for the Mount Vernon Girls' Club. There they
served as student leaders for the members in the
five-to-twelve-year age group.
The GIRLS' CLUB VOLUNTEERS, one
of the comparatively newer clubs at Davis, was
organized three years ago under the faculty
sponsorship of Mrs. MacDonald. In the short time
that it has been in existence, its membership has
grown until this year it included about ninety
enthusiastic girls. Each one went to the club
one day a week to conduct a class in cooking,
crafts, games or perhaps dancing. Many a little
52
girl had spoiled her supper nibbling on the
goodies prepared in the kitchen, or perhaps been
inspired to become a great dancer during a lesson
in the main room.
During the year several parties were held,
among them, the annual Christmas Party and a
MBackward Party" at which the children wore
their clothes back-to-the-front and pinned the

The eagerness with which the Davis girls
were awaited and the joy with which they were
greeted, proved ample reimbursement for the
Volunteers.

A CLUSTER OF ST
a'For fun on the hilltop, it's the Sophomore
Hop", and so we started another successful social
season which provided Davisites with many en-
joyable affairs. The sophomore party was a get-
acquainted dance with games, dancing, and food
for all. The sophomore faculty advisers, Mrs.
Taylor and Mr. Bartlett, were sponsors of the
party.
Next was the football dance which ended
our victorious football season. The Football
Queen, Hope Herman, was crowned at this dance.
Following this was the 'Ll-lolly Hopm, at which
much dancing talent was discovered.
Highlighting the year was an uF.nchanterl
Evening" held by the January class of '50. The
decorations of moon and stars helped carry out
the theme. The whole affair was just Mone cn-
chanted evening under the stars". Music was pro-
vided by Ray Lowery and his orchestra.
The faculty dance committee appointed
this year with Miss Rose Lucchese, chairman,
was Mr. Harold Spielman, Mrs. Roberta Flem-
ming, Dr. Ruth E. Landis, and Mr. Joseph Leone.

Topped off hy a sparkling 20-12 upset over
uunheatalalen New Rochelle High School, the
1949 Version of the A. B. Davis FOOTBALL
team finished in second place in the W.l.A.A.,
with a record of five wins and one loss. Only a
lack of league games kept Davis from a title, as
New Rochelle, the eventual winner, played two
more games than we did. Davis' overall record
was 7-1 including two non-league victories over
Pelham Memorial and Edison Tech.
FOOTBALL TEAM - 1899
A highlight of the season was the placing
of four boys on all-county teams, with sixteen
boys from Davis mentioned in the voting-a
county high. Charlie Buehler, center, and Pete
Berland, quarterback, were first team selections,
While Teddy Ramsey, a speedy halfback, and
Mike Rossi, a powerful guard, were chosen on
the second team. Chuck Buehler was also picked
for the All-Met third team in the MNew York
World-Telegram" Selections.

An interesting triangle was shown
by the Davis, New Rochelle and White
Plains games. White Plains gave Davis
its only loss 25-6, hut the following week,
they were beaten 28-0 by New Rochelle.
The Huguenots had rolled up six straight
victories, scoring 218 points to their op-
position's 0. The former were distinct
favorites to trounce the Maroon. How-
ever, a Friday evening rally set off the
upset spark, which prevailed in the Sat-
urday game. The Hilltoppers caught New
Rochelle Hat-footed in the first few min-
utes ofthe game, when fleet-footed Teddy
Ramsey outmaneuvered the Purple sec-
ondary, took a long pass from Pete Ber-
land and went 50 yards for the first score
against New Rochelle. So surprised were
the Huguenot players, and so incensed
with the thought of victory was Davis,
that there was no stopping us. As long
as any annals of Davis foothall are kept,
the New Rochelle game will rank among
the hest for one of Davis' greatest teams.

One-two-and away go the TWIRLERS!
They looked great in those bright new uniforms,
which they so proudly displayed at the band
concert.
This group has certainly come a long way
since they were Hrst organized in 1937 by Mr.
Licht. Marching down the field with skirts flying,
and high stepping, they raised many a cheer from
the bleachers. Day after day these girls could be
seen practicing out on the field. Their tricky
formations, including Stars and special throws,
caught many admiring glances from all sides.

Captained by Walter-46Wl1at-are-we-going-
to-do-today?"-Carlin and .Ioan Morace, the Davis
CHEERLEADERS, first organized in 1926, made
a fine record for themselves in '49-950 especially
by their good attendance at basketball games.
Whereas usually only two or three cheerleaders
showed up for basketball games in the past, this
year there were five or six at most of the games
at home and away, Joan Morace and Jackie Smith
missing only one game all year.
The cheerleaders had twenty-three cheers
and chants in their repertoire, including six new
ones originated during the basketball season. In
the final game of the year, the girls introduced
the novel idea of wearing green hats bearing
the names of the starting five players.
The girl cheerleaders took over completely
during the basketball months. After Patience
Plummer, Barbara Sobek, and Meryl McCarthy
graduated in January, Doris Rosenberg, Margot
Rusch and Charlotte Click substituted very
capably. Upholding the dependability of the
cheerleaders, Joan Morace and Margot Rusch
spent four dollars on a taxi to get to the Port-
chester basketball game!
In all, there were twenty-four regular and
three assistant cheerleaders in action this year
with Charlie Dee and Mary Ann DeCarlo acting
as assistant captains.

Although success in CROSS COUNTRY
this year might he termed only moderate, there
were a few individual performances that stood
out. James Gillian was the boy who led the
Maroon to victory in its few victorious dual
meets. However, in the Sectional Championships
at the Rockefeller Estate in Tarrytown, Jay
Koster pulled the biggest surprise.
Koster had been coming along rapidly all
year, and as can be shown by his improvement,
he did better with each successive meet. lay,
who had been flirting with the fourteen minute
mark all year, shocked everyone by finishing
seventeenth in the W.I.A.A., and then came on
to move up to his fourteenth, in a field twice as
large. In his successful venture in the Sectional,
Koster even defeated James Gillian who was
fifteenth. However, Gillian was hampered during
the race because of a sore muscle in his leg.
He had previously finished seventh in the
W.I.A.A. meet.
The third man for Davis all season long
was Hank Washington. Washington, who used
Cross Country as a conditioner for his specialty
in Track, the 440, was twenty-seventh in the
W.I.A.A., a big jump from 55th the preceding
year.
Others who were among the top for Davis
were Ray Stewart and Lou Salzman. Salzman,
incidentally, was Davis, individual winner in the
first meet of the year.
The competition was stronger this year
than in any year in the past. Jerry Utter, of New
Rochelle set a new county record, while more
runners just got under thirteen minutes than at
any time in the past.
Returning next year will be Gillian and
Koster along with Salzman and others in the
second Eve.

Off to a blazing start the Davis BASKET-
BALL TEAM slowed down at midseason, because
of the loss of four players, but finished with an
ll-5 record. Davis' early season spirit caused
much controversy in the county as experts won-
dered what a Maroon squad, with Ted Ramsey,
Harvey Billingham, Dave Brown, and Roddy
Tenaglier. would have fared against such out-
standing teams as New Rochelle and Pelham.
New Rochelle, the W.l.A.A. champions,
beat Davis twice by about ten points due mainly
to their overwhelming height, five boys over six
feet three. However, height lead proved no prob-
lem to the Halstead men earlier in the year
as Billingham and Brown, both six feet three,
held their own against even the taller boys, with
Sam Uzzle. a six foot two and one-half sophomore,
chipping in. To illustrate how important the loss
of these four was, one has only to look at the
figures. Davis accumulated a record of 7-0 before
the January graduation and a 9-5 total afterwards.
Wihite Plains, which had fallen victim to us 50-30
in the first encounter, defeated us by 23 points
in the second meeting, a difference of 43 points.
The leading scorer for Davis was Charley
Shannon, a speedy forward, who racked up 157
points, an average of 9.8 points per game. Before
Billingham graduated, he had averaged 13.6
points. Second highest scorer on the team was
Lou Cerrone, the captain and play-maker. In the
latter half of the season, Cerrone was the only
regular who remained from the '48-949 team.
In the all-county balloting at the end of
the year, there was not a Davis man on the first
team. However, Harvey Billingham and Ted
Ramsey made the second team, despite playing
only half the season. As a matter of fact, Billing-
ham was only one vote shy of the first team.
In the past, none of Coach Irv Halstead's
teams have ever lost by more than ten points.
However, there is always a first, and the first came
in the second White Plains game. And was it
decisive! Davis was in the ball game until Charley
Shannon, Lou Cerrone and Sam Uzzle fouled out.
Then, the Maroon completely fell apart and lost
by 23 points.
The following week Davis lost by 9 points
to New Rochelle in a game that could well have
ended by a 5 point margin, if the refs had called
it a different way. Denny Huelfer hit with a set
shot as the buzzer, ending the first half, sounded,
but the refs disallowed it. However, when Jesse
Arnelle, New Rochelle's all-W.l.A.A. center,
tapped in a rebound as the game ended, the refs
ruled it good.
The Hilltoppers hit their stride in the
final two games of the year, topping Portchester
and then trouncing Edison. Lou Cerrone hit his
two-year high as he piled up 21 points in the
Edison game. When he fouled out in the final
quarter, he received a tremendous ovation, just
as Ramsey, Billingham, Brown and Tenaglier
had, a month and a half earlier.
The Maroon squad for 1951 seems to take
on a bright air considering the fact that four
of the five second half starters are returning.
With Charley Shannon, Arthur Goodson, Sam
Uzzle and Denny Huelfer, Buss Enke, and Herbie
Herling all returning for the season, Coach Hal-
stead will have a team to work around. Bud Blair
and Joe Notargiocomo will have a half season,
both being January graduates.
The Jayvee, under the tutelage of Coach
Gordon Bucher, had a mediocre season, winning
eight games while losing the same number. How-
ever, the team was very well balanced with many
boys breaking into starting roles, and no indi-
vidual standouts.
After winning only one dual meet all
season, the Davis SWIMMING TEAM surprised
all by taking third place in the first annual
WI.A.A. swimming championships. With Neil
Sharpls first in the 200 yard freestyle, with the
160 yard relay team and Charlie Buehler, a 40
man, taking thirds, with the 180 yard medley
relay and John Pittari in the diving, placing
fourth, Davis earned 14 points, quite a distance
behind New Rochelle and Mamaroneck, first and
second, respectively, but, three and one half

points ahead of Yonkers, the number four team
and eleven more than Gorton.
Neil Sharp's victory was, perhaps, the high-
light of the whole season for the Maroon. Out
for three weeks with measles, Sharp had previ-
ously been beaten by Walt Leffler of New
Rochelle and Charlie Treftzer of Mamaroneck.
These three were seeded into the first heat. Leiller
and Treftzer passed the 100 yard mark, neck and
neck, with Neil about three yards behind. How-
ever, Sharp began to pick up in the final sixty
yards and caught the two at the beginning of
the last lap. A11 three sprinted towards the finish
line, but Neil won by about a half yard.
Incidentally, Sharp started a mild epi-
demic on the swimming squad, when he spread
the measles to Frank Vener, a diver, and Bob
Goldstein, a breast stroker. We hope that he
started another epidemic by his victory in the
WI.A.A.
Coach Bob Minerley will have a solid
nucleus to work around next year. With the loss
of only four men through graduation, Charlie
Buehler, Dick Babkin, Frank Nasanow, and Bob
Goldstein, there will be twelve returnees from
the sixteen boys now on the squad.
With Bob Smith and Eddie Knox for the
shorter distances, Neil Sharp and Harvey Fried
in the 200, Dave Waxman and ,Ioe Gottlieb as
breaststrokers, Hank Syrkin, Bob Sander and
Bob Sussman for the back stroke, and John Pit-
tari and Frank Vener in the diving, the compe-
tition for new-comers on the swimming team will
be strong.

Finding consolation only in a few individ-
ual performances, the Davis TRACK TEAM
terminated their season by scoring only 8 points
in the Sectional meet at White Plains. Our only
markers came as a result of Frank Falco's thirds
in the dashes and Paul Mulaire's fourth in the
high jump.
The track squad opened its season by suc-
cessfully downing Portchester. However, they
did not win another dual meet after that and
finished seventh in the WI.A.A.
No doubt the outstanding figure of the
team last year was Falco who scored three straight
doubles before being defeated in the Wil.A.A.
meet. It is only fair to mention that he was handi-
capped by a sore leg during the last few weeks.
Paul Mulaire came into his own last year
by establishing himself as one of the county's
top high jumpers. Leaping five feet ten on two
occasions and five feet eleven on one, Mulaire
was one of Davis' few point scorers in both the
WI.A.A. and Sectional.
Hank Washington took advantage of his
long stride to become one of WCStCl16Sl61',S better
quarter milers as can be shown in his 51.9-440
against White Plains in a dual meet. Trying to
run Lou Jones race in the Sectional kept him from
attaining even greater heights.

Bernie Hassell took third in the WI.A.A.
mile, his only race of the year, while Tenaglier
hit nineteen feet, seven and one half inches in
the broad jump for the only other praiseworthy
performances.

Competing in TENNIS for the first time
in over a decade, the Tennis Team was hardly
prepared for the success which it met.
Davis really proved to be the hig surprise
ill the WI.A.A. Tennis League. Bowing, by only
one point. to Mamaroneck and New Rochelle,
the netmen copped second place in the League
with four victories against two defeats.
Consistently fine performances were
turned in by the Davis doubles men. Chuck Potter
and Mickey Meerbaum were undefeated in seven
matches. while Artie Greenhouse and Dave
Subotky were victorious in six of their seven
engagements. Steady singles play was demon-
strated hy Martin Creenstein and Mark Fried-
man.
Coached hy Dr. E. A. Novick, the Maroon
established itself as a contender for WI.A.A.
honors on the tennis court of Westchester with
Meerhaum and Greenstein among those to return.
One sport that is slowly creeping hack into
Davis, athletic focus is GOLF. Led hy Coach
Harry Collins, the squad practiced during the
week at Vernon Hills Country Cluh.
The season certainly could not he termed
too successful, as the hoys won only one match
all season, that played against Roosevelt High
of Yonkers.
The squad was eaptained hy .loe Feinberg,
who was one of the low scorers along with Joe
Camherato. Both boys shot in the low eighties.
The matches were not decided by the
medal scores, hut, instead, by match play. With
two hoys from each team in one group, a point
was scored hy the duo that won the most holes.
In ease of tie the point was split.
With one season already past history, the
Davis Golfing team can look forward to better
times.

Some of you may think that only the boys
can have championship teams, but the girls of
Davis know differently. For once upon a time
the GIRLS' BASKETBALL team won six county
championships in seven years! Up until the State
Board at Albany abolished inter-school basket-
ball in 1925, Davis was in a league called the
Big Six, which included Yonkers, White Plains,
New Rochelle, Mamaroneck, Portchester, and
Davis. It was during the first half of the 20's
when Miss Wight first came to Davis, that she
quickly acquired the habit of turning out cham-
pionship teams, except in 1923-24, when the team
lost the crown by one game. How is that for
thrills? Basketball is the oldest girls' sport at
Davis and was being played 'way back in 1906 by
the Nausicaa Basketball Club.

After the inter-school games were abol-
ished, the feminine athletes had to turn their
talents to battling it out between the classes.
Naturally, the seniors were expected to win these
tournaments, as they were the oldest and most
experienced. However, since events not always
work out as expected, the seniors usually did not
gallop off with the honors.
This year, though, it was different, and,
ably led by Gloria Schafbuch, the seniors did
come out on top, boasting a clean slate of six
victories and no defeats, with the two sophomore
teams, Soph. 1, captained by Ann Pressman, and
Soph. 2, led by Ann Huber, taking second and
third places, respectively.

Davis girls' sports! Yes, SPEEDBALL, intro-
duced to take the place of field hockey, proved
an equally thrilling but less dangerous game.
,lust as in most of the other sports, there
was a tournament in which five teams partici-
pated-in this case, one senior-junior and four
sophomore teams. However, the upperclassmen,
led by Mildred U'Hara, were proclaimed Victor-
ious, though much competition was provided by
the four sophomore teams captained by Marion
Frieary, Nancy Ulmstead, Lorene Knowles, and
Elaine Simes.
The future of speedball at Davis seems
favorable, because of the season's success this

As SOFTBALL is one of the comparatively
newer sports at Davis, the girls have not had a
chalice for real inter-school competition since
girls' track was discontinued in 1932. But Davis
ball clubs went to bat as late as 1947 against
several outside teams, including Rye, Edison,
and Roosevelt. and sent teams to different play-
days in Westchester county.
The Softball tournament this year marked
the end of the career of one member of a great
sister duo. Jane O'Hara. She and her sister, Millie,
had competed against each other in every sport,
and since this year furnished Jane's last chance
to beat Millie. it seemed probable that the former
Senior 2 team would cop the flag. Millie, how-

Even though VOLLEYBALL was the one
sport that every girl can play in class, a surpris-
ingly large number also turned out for the intra-
mural games. Through the years there have been
teams that have played other schools, but the
present-day teams play only an interclass tourna-
ment, and sometimes participate in the West-
chester Girls' Athletic Association Playdays
among the Big Six Teams-Yonkers, White
Plains, New Rochelle, Mamaroneck, Portchester,
and Davis.
This year was Vol1eyball's best year in
terms of turnout, and, of the six teams formed,
Mildred Oil-1ara's Junior 2's came out victorious

In the past, Davis had a successful history
in the field of GIRLS' TENNIS, for Miss Taylor
has been coaching winning tennis teams since
1927. Once upon a time the racquet-wielders
played a full schedule including many of the
top teams in Westchester County, but after 1935
they had to be content with playing a tournament
each year among themselves, and perhaps one or
two outside teams.

ever, had other ideas, and with her Junior 1 team,
came through with a spotless record of five wins
and no defeats. Jane had to be content with
second place, finishing with four Wins and one
loss.
This definitely was not the Sophs' season,
for the Senior 1 team, led by Irene Marcus, with
a three and two record, ended in third place.

by vanquishing the other five teams. Since Millie
had a habit of winning, she won in this as well
as in all other girls sports. Her teammates who
gave her good support were Edwina Curtis, Judy
Farago, Willie May Gayles, Lynn Goldfine,
Carolyn Jacoby, Martha Roebelen, Gloria Schaf-
buch, and Nancy Wostroff.
Although the Junior 2's Won, they were
given a rough time by the Junior 1's, under the
leadership of Olga Minklei, and Senior 2's, cap-
tained by Carol Emes, who placed 2nd and 3rd,
respectively. These tournament results indicate
strong Senior competition next year.

Last spring's tournament, managed by
Nancy Wosstroff, was Won by Judy Stone, with
Harriet Schecter taking runner-up position.
ln the one inter-school match with Boose-
velt, Davis succumbed 2-1, Barbara Fee being
the only Davis Winner. Others on the team were
Judy Stone and Carol Emes.

To the soft shadowed memories that creep from the past,
The past that is Davis High,
Young, striving footsteps that cannot be aged
Though a century passes by . . .
And the words that are now from the lips of today,
The games, and the dates, and the fun,
For today is the pausing of Time's steady hand
Till twenty-four hours are done . . .
To the glow of the future that touches us now
And the hint of uncertain change,
As eagerly, steadily, onward we go
Though the answer be whispered and strange . . .
To the past, and the now, and the future in full
We dedicate our goodbye,
Knowing weire leaving a part of our hearts
In leaving Davis High!
