lust in the Tuck of Ca'me Of all the school's organizations, perhaps the most hard-working was the MARSHAL force. Headed in the fall by lver johnson and in the spring by Andy Grass, Miss Brown's disciples pa- trolled the halls, manned the lunch rooms, and stopped those eager students who did not bother to buy tickets, from entering athletic events, Those students passing through the halls during home room periods never failed to hear the chaos and confusion as they passed O. R. 2l4 at a sate distance. Goaded by Miss Brown's pleas for order, this model home room always was conducted in a democratic way, and became a living example of the horrors of democracy. ln December, those fifty boys took a trip into the wilds of Long ls- land to witness the United Nations General As- sembly in action. No doubt inspired by the speeches of the world's eminent statesmen, the marshals returned in the same undampened spirit in which they started out. Another highlight of the 214 social season was the Christmas party, featuring the boisterous rendering of songs, mi- nute helpings of ice cream and cake and Miss Brown's hoarse voice entreating us to please be quiet as the assembly was being ruined. But, all in all, the school owed thanks to the marshals, without whom school would have proved a much duller place. MARSHALS iropn Row l: I. johnson, H. Blanchette, R. Keele, 1. Folger, 1. Clarey, j.

Seriously though, Tau Epsilon Pi was the high- est scholastic recognition Davis could give to its students. To be able to wear the gold pin with the Greek symbols was an accomplishment which could only be attained by hard work and study. To have maintained a minimum average of eighty-five percent for two consecutive years was not easy, as many a bona fide member of this highly regarded society could verify. TAU EPSILON Pl Row l: A.

LH!WClyS Qfvlllg Did a pleasant-faced dam- sel ever help you open that perplexing locker when you were a green sophomore? Or did one direct you to an elu- sive classroom? No, she was not an angel in disguise, but a member of that fine organ- ization, the GlRL MARSH- ALS. This friendly group of girls was known to everyone around school. That familiar maroon and white badge al- ways seemed to appear in times of trouble, Whatever the task, a Girl Marshal was on the spot to help. You remember that girl who pushed you into one seat in assembly when you wanted to sit in another next to that certain someone? She was also one of the bright young helpfuls who kept your lunchroom neat and orderly. If it hadn't been for her turn- ing on the hall lights you probably would have fallen flat on your face try- ing to find your way around those dark and gloomy halls. As if that weren't enough, they even relieved some of Miss l?roctor's worries in the library. ln fact, about the only thing they didn't do for you was that chemistry homework. Under Miss Lewis's supervision, Betty Softy, head marshal, and the members themselves worked together to make the Girl Marshals an organization which really clicked. Surely, at some time, you have been paralyzed with fear when a poised young lady brought you the tidings that you were wanted in the office. Who else would that young lady be but a mem- ber ofthe SERVICE CLUB? This club, a preview of tomorrow's career girls, played an essential part in the school's activities. lts members de- voted time every day to lessen the burden of the regular office staff. They performed such Page twe 71 ty-two necessary tasks as sorting mail, filing, delivering messages and otherwise taking care of emergen- cies which are bound to arise in any busy school. They were not only a help to the school but they received valuable experience which will be a help to them when they go to business. Miss Lucchese's band of girls certainly would have been missed if they had not been handy. SERVICE CLUB lTopl Row l: G. Coppola, G. Forte, L. Rossi, N. Di Marzo, D. Mangano, G. De Angelis, A.
