SNAPS A D STAMPS Almost all of us have, at one time or another, snapped a picture and sent the film away to be de- veloped. The Davis shutterbugs formed the Cam- era Club, which this year, under the guidance of Mr. Buckle and later Mr. Rappaport, formed plans to take pictures of each Davisite. To achieve this, the darkroom was renovated, and received a new coat of paint. An exhibition of pictures taken by club members was held in the showcases around the halls. The president of the club, VVilliam Margerin, was Photo Editor of the lVlaroon and VVhite. Several other members served on the staff of the yearbook. The Davis Stamp Club was active this year col- . si- .-.g1,.gb'-'gqvggi i -Q13 I. .' ,I Q e:,g?5f X .A . . gftggf -:Hs ,. E has ,. . f I-'P fs.I'5.'e 4.-Q - 'LI H-'. wj?2':f1g2g:,i? ':, . . rj, .

Meyers lecting stamps for use in military hospitals. The philatelists did their work with Mr. Avery, adviser to the club. They discussed rare issues and traded stamps. Robert Schweitzer was president of the club and very ably conducted its meetings. Great interest was shown in the various issues which came from all countries during the war, especially those which were used during the occupations. The lead- ers of the Axis countries must have enjoyed seeing their faces on letters, as almost all of the stamps from these countries had as their centers of interest a replica of their countryls leader. Theirs, most cer- tainly, is an interesting and, at the same time, an educational hobby. STAMP CLUB CAMERA CLUB

Samuels l CHESS TEAM CHESS TEAM URAILROADSM TO NEW HEIGHTS During U g an interesting experience. Under the leadership of Mr. Sundermann, faculty adviser, the club took several trips to the model railroad exhibit in Pelham and to the New York Central Railroad yards at Harmon. This club had one of the most interesting topics to consider, each of us was thrilled the first time we saw a snorting steam locomotive and wondered what made the wheels go 'round. Another experience which had always mystified the RADIO CLUB majority of us, was the radio. Here at Davis we had a club which studied this interesting gadget. The fel- lows, under the watchful eye of Mr. Buckle during the fall term, and Mr. Rappaport in the spring, took apart and rebuilt radios and built others from scratch. The group also studied other aspects of radio and elec- tronics with the hope of eventually becoming hams or famateur radio operatorsj. Everybody was puzzled by the queer names and movements of the chess men used to such good advan- tage by the team. For the third year in succession, the team has won the VVestchester Interscholastic Trophy Cup. Of the ten games played with the county high schools, K'Pop Phillips' team won nine. They also played the VVard Leonard Electric Company, scoring 5-5, and planned to challenge a New York high school team. The following boys comprised the team: Captain, Arthur Klatskyg Richard Lynn, Daniel Sam- uels, Eugene Goldberg, Donald Stamm, and Harold Hussey. the past year the Railroad Society had many
