MARSHALS Wheii a bewildered spohomore girl accident- ally walked into Room 214 she wondered at the all-male assembly. She very soon realized. however, that she had. invaded the headquarters of the BOYS' MARSHAL FORCE, She was very much amaied to learn that the apparent state of confusion here was actually deceiving. lior this room, under the supervision of Miss Brown and Miss Paclou. was one of the busiest and most capable in the school: it was the cen- ter of the thousand and one duties and services of the boy marshals. Their activities were efficiently carried out during this past year under Seymour Solomon and William White, who served as head marshals. Included in the line of the mashal's duty is the collection of attendance cards, the distribut- ing of stamps and bonds, and the maintenance of order in the lunchrooms. halls, and locker . rooms. He also takes pilrl in much volunteer gg: work, in school and out. 5. A boy in Room 'SIB would undoubtedly ex- perience the same feeling of bewilderment as the unfortunate sophomore girl who stumbled into Room ZI4: for H3 is the only all-girl Home- room in the school. and is also the center of activities of the GIRLS' MARSHAL FORCE. Under the supervision of Miss Lewis they per- form duties similar to those of the boy marshals: moreover, they efiiciently carry out their many services. This past year. with Ruth Hovey as head marshal and lillen Bennett and Joyce Muenzen serving as deputy marshals. the girl marshals capably fulfilled their assignments. They kept order in assemblies, performed library and lunch- room duty. and aided in checking lockers. Aside from their assigned duties. the girl marshals also render helpful services to teachers and students. Y l GIRL MARSIIALS flopi Row I. J, Childs. IZ, XVi-iss. J Murnzen. R. Iiovcy. If. llennctl.

Always Lending A Helping Hand New-comers to Davis always receive a hearty welcome fron: the big sisters of the Hilltop. who are known as the HOMI2 ROOM ADVISORS. Membership in this group is determined by Miss Lewis. who selects from each home room one girl who pos- sesses the necessary qualifications to serve. The Davis big sisters give freely ol their time and effort to work for the best high school possible. This group, which has no officers because its members are all on an equal basis. is considered an official representative of the office. lhe girls. during the year, serve on various committees designed to promote a friendlier atmosphere in the school. Bi-annually they give a dinner for girls who are new to the school. The amiable big sisters are always on the job. and have been very successful in helping Davis girls overcome many problems. llOMli ROOM ADVISORS fliottoml Row l: ll, Rabinowitz. XV. Sturtevant, A.

In tune with our National Government. Davis' governing body also has two legislative houses: the G. O. COUNCII, is the higher house. the HOMIQ ROOM RIiPRlZSI2N'l'A- TIVIHS, the lower house. XVe students represent the voting public and select those who will serve in these houses. The students in the Council consist ol' two elected by the House of Home Room Represen- tatives. and the rest elected semi-annually at school elections. We, the voting public, also elect two teachers to the Council. Among other things, this group debates on the best way to get student support for all school activities. and it also decides what kind of recreation we stu- dents will most enjoy. The House of Home Room Representatives. which consistes of one representative from each home room, is a most vital part of the student government, and a truly democratic body. The representatives, elected by the pupils in their home rooms, are the mediums which publicize the ideas of the G. O.. and which also report to the members of the home room new events concerning the students. The Home Room Representatives have been the active agents in helping the Victory Corps get a successful start: they campaign for and urge student support tor salvage collections and for the war loan drives. They have also rendered a tremendous service by sending the News I,etter to the former Davis boys now serving in the armed forces. We are fortunate to have a democratic govern- ment, for practicing democracy is the best way to learn it.

viii S ii Ji SERVING DAVIS Peanuts, popcorn, cracker-jack. ice-cream are the familiar items which identify the ALPHA TAU DELTA girls at the football and base- ball games. This group under the supervision of Miss Breining sells refreshments at athletic meets to raise money for the G. O. Because of the dilliculty in obtaining these articles during the past year, the girls extended their activities to other fields. They contributed baskets of food at Thanksgiving and Christmas and they also sponsored activities for the young- sters at the Nursery Day School. Headed by Gloria Orsenigo, President. and with Margie Reichgott serving as Secretary and Vice-President, Alpha Tau Delta during this past year rendered much valuable service to tht' school and community. fUpper picturej Kneeling: G.

Should Davis girls be permitted to wear slacks? Shall an additional bike rack be added in the North wing?-These are but a few of the matters thrashed out by the SCHOOI. INTERESTS COMMITTEE. All legislation. appropriations and bills are weedcd out hy them before being sent on to the G. O. Execu- tive Council. Whether this group is furthering its interests through its President, who holds a seat without' voting power on the school Council. or whether it is rendering valuable service to the school through such deeds as the recent publication of a complete list of extra-curricular organizations. it is constantly active in working for the best interests of Davis and Davis students. And should the cafeteria begin to distribute tree ice- cream, or should gasoline in unlimited quantities be made available to Hilltoppers. our guess would be that the S. I. C. Iliad a hand in the affair. Left to Right: D. Theal, Miss Young. R. Leon. Ii. Ilauptinan, M. Vceder. J. lleitano, ll. Sanders, A. Zuckerman. S. Dolin, H. Itle. We don't have to go down to the Sunny South to meet up with classic American hospi- tality for we have it right here in Davis. Any visitor to the Hilltop. upon crossing the thres- hold of the school. is greeted with a hearty welcome and a pleasant smile: these two quali- ties are a part of the personality of each member of Mr. Childs' RECEPTIONISTS COMMIT- TEE.
