OIOSO Cheerleaders inaugurate New Big-Apple Cheer Group Considered One Ct Best ln Westchester Without the cheerleaders, games would be colorless attairs ine deed. No howling stands, no crisp yells breaking out on the autumn air as the Maroon gains another score: in short, none ot the spirit and tire that has marked Davis teams and students whether they be victor or vanquished. This season's cheerleading squad, under the able sponsorship ot Mr. Childs and captained by William Nielsen, was one ot the best in years. Their enthusiasm and pep never waned, even in the darkest ot moments. They uncovered a new cheer, radically ditterent trom the old type, that took the county by storm. Yes, the Big Apple cheer certainly brought down the house-we mean the stadium. The Davis squad was one ot the largest and best looking in the entire county. Their special sweaters had a large megaphone on the tront and although our teams sometimes came out second best, our cheerleaders never encountered that tate. And so to the cheerleaders trom the school goes a sincere, great big Thank you. Edgar Mehrlust TOP: Mr. Childs, Captain Nielsen, Conklin, Eason, Mehrlust, Fox.
