. H V - -if -- fow short Qui' gfappy czgs ppear Did you ever have the unfor- tunate experience of acquiring a headache five minutes before a geometry test? At those crucial moments, when all courage left us, it was Mrs. Morgan, nurse and head of the Davis Medical Staff, who informed us that the head- ache was not quite so severe as it seemed. For saving face and con- science, Davis students owed Mrs. Morgan a great deal Chest X-ray examinations given to l5OO stu- dents, were just one small part of Mrs. lVlorgan's work. She fair- ly flew through the halls on her medical missions. ' The Safety-first posters for the' school parade in May were re- sults of a carefully planned pro- gram by the Davis Art Depart- ment. The hard-working artists have always been none other than lvlr, Dodds and lvliss Nourse, the latter superintending the art work for the Maroon and Vifhitef' OTHER TEACHERS lTopl Miss Sherman, Mr. Nielsen, Miss Nourse, Mr. Dodds, Mrs. Morgan, Mr. Oswald, Miss St. john, Miss Taylor Students had more opportunities this year than ever before, to attend operas during school time. Mr. Nielsen made arrange- ments for them to be excused. Mr. Singer, band and orchestra conductor, a newcomer to Davis, filled the vacancy left by Mr. Licht when the latter was appointed Music Supervisor. The Home Economics pupils under the direction of Miss Sherman and Miss Redmond, gained practical experience in serving, cooking, and cafeteria management. Last, but certainly not least, was the Physical Education De- partment. We missed Miss Wight and Mr. Coffin, both of whom, we are sorry to say, were retired because of illness. As- sisting in the two departments were Miss Onoda and Mr. Elder. Their efforts were concentrated on helping to build a physi- cally fit America. Page fozcrteen

After you finally mastered two times twof' you thought you were through with Math. But nooool Then you had to draw pentagons, solve equations with the factor theorem and do other mathematical proc- esses, obviously taught to help you fill out your future income tax return. However you looked at it, math could be and us- ually was puzzling. Ask some students of Miss Brown, Miss Cleveland, or the dis- ciples of Einstein. That ticking sound that you heard as you walked down the hall didn't mean that school had finally gotten the best of you. lt was just the pupils of Miss Williams trying to type ninety words a minute. Try- ing, that is! That was also a joke, sonl Far be it from us, however, to have discour- aged the future private secretaries of the future business tycoons. How could they have missed with such teachers as Miss Creekpaum and Mr. Sundermann? The odors that drifted from the science laboratories weren't exactly Chanel No. 5 to people in the halls. The young scien- tists who stirred up the concoctions cer- tainly had strong constitutions. They must have been oblivious to everything but dreams of emulating Pasteur or Koch. Mr. Bunker, recently retired, contributed im- measurably in helping to fulfill those dreams. The students were fortunate in having Mr. Russell to take Mr. Bunker's place as head of the Science Department. All levity aside, Davis teachers are a wonderful group of people. To them we should like to express a sincere thank you for their guidance through the past.

He has even played in vaudeville at Loew's Theatrel Dr. Landis, always a good sport, gave a peppy electioneering talk for her candidate, Mr. Caville, at the Ci. O. nominating convention held in December. Her Bulletin Board Committee this year arranged very attractive, colorful displays in Davis halls. Most of Miss Taylor's gym students probably never guessed that she has a lovely singing voice. After receiving her degree' from Columbia University, she started taking voice lessons and now sings in the Vernon Heights Congregational Church Choir. Miss Waltheir is a go-getter and a hard worker. She has sponsored the junior Red Cross for many years. She spends many hours overtime packing up bottles to deliver to C-rasslands. Her spare time, Saturdays and Sundays, is spent on her upstate' farm. Mr. Phillips, dearly loved by all of us who prefer to call him Pop , is a wizard at the game of chess. His clever coaching has kept his chess team second to none in the county. When Mr. Avery is finished teaching for the day, he rushes home to Ossining and his family. He has a very attractive wife whom he met while they were both attending Cornell Universi- and tvvo lovely children with whom he loves to spend his free hours. As adviser of the Stamp Club, he has interested its mem- bers in sending stamp collections to hospitalized veterans. Bringing happiness to others seems to be his motto. Page fifteen
