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.

01070 Little Known Boys Perform Valuable Service, Unsung Heroes OF Sporting World Merit Praise Though they get no cheers trom packed stands, though they are never in the team pictures, though the entire student body is heartily unaware ot their presence, the many water-boys, bat-boys and tield- markers pertorm a service in the athletic tield that is well nigh indispensable. They expect no credit or recognition tor the work they do and speaking trankly, they get none. Their attitude is one ot tierce devotion to the teams and to the school itself, and they are proud and willing to serve it in even this small manner. Only the men in the athletic world ot Davis can tell you ot the necessity ot their duties. Personal glory is not their aim: they are merely content to bask in the retlected glory ot the team and take heart in knowing that their small bit contributed to success. Surely, the true and best spirit ot Davis is in the hearts ot these boys. Bat-Boy Anthony Manga no TOP: Minor, Carpenter, Kelly, D'Avanzo, Shader. BOTTOM: Trinodi, Johnson. Sharpe, Witt.
