Besides helping at Davis basketball games, BOY MARSHALS served at the football games selling programs and helping with the Band Uniform Drive thus carrying on their tradition begun in 1915 of service to the school and to the community. During the first year of the Marshals, or Boys' Police, they carried billies CMiss Brown 44- could use one of them nowj and assisted the regular Municipal Police with traffic on Saturday mornings. Wherever there was need then for police assistance, Mr. Childs and his Boys' Police were on hand. The duties of the Marshals have increased considerably as has their enrollment. Besides the aforementioned jobs, the Marshals, from their posts, kept traffic moving smoothly through the balls, collected attendance cards, and assisted in the seating of students in assembly. This year Homeroom 214 also played host to Supri Prakof-Santisukh, an exchange student from Siam, and presented him with a gift. They hope to see him again as he seemed anxious to return to Mount Vernon.

Pucci, Mr. Altschuler Behind the door of 204B, mysterious and isolated, at the end of the second floor, one could see the hurly-burly, confusion, and disputation that went into the making up of each issue of the f'Hi-News . In 1901, the paper was called the Oracle , but after the building of A. B. Davis High School on the hilltop, it took the name of the dHi-Newsw to coincide with its high position. The main duty of the H1-NEWS BUSI- NESS BOARD was the financial responsibility of the paper. Perhaps this accounted for the tendency of some of the members of the staff to write on the walls! They were trying to balance the books! Another important and highly diffi- cult job was obtaining subscriptions from the students. This past year, with the aid of the force- ful MHi-News Reps, more than eleven hundred persons subscribed. A new plan was introduced in taking subscriptions. If someone was desirous of buying the paper, but was not able to do so at the time of the drive, he could give a fraction of the sum to the Rep and pay the rest when he was financially prepared. Such a plan proved very successful in helping those students who daily frequented ltchums and the Broken Drum. Students on the Board learned the best method of approaching people when asking for ads, the art of cooperating with others, and the actual work involved in publishing a high school newspaper. Entirely written, edited, copy-read, galley-read, proofread, and circulated by the staffs, the HHi-Newsf' was available only by sub- scription. ' This year, the staff again attended the Annual Columbia Scholastic Press Association Conference at Columbia University, where they conducted a forum on 'Tinancing a School Paper Through Advertisingw. The paper received first honor rating for the sixth consecutive year, along with first place in the National Scholastic Press Association Contest of Minnesota, and the Empire State Award given by the University of Syracuse. With these excellent awards went Mr. Altschuler's thirteenth year as a very able faculty adviser and forty-nine years of praise for a wonderful news- paper. 43

Seifman Yes, these were those helpful GIRL MARSHALS who had aided you in finding your classroom, oh so long ago when you were a soph- omore and Davis seemed a surging mass pushing from room to room. Assembly programs were made more orderly and seating arrangements simpler through the efforts of these upper class women. They devoted their ninth periods to li- brary duty checking the books that left the library, and they spent part of their lunch periods making sure that no utensils were removed from the lunch room. They also joined forces with the Boy Marshals in an effort to keep lunch students ufrom aimlessly wandering around the halls Lun- intentionally' disturbing classes which were in session. gzf ma... Under the supervision of Miss Lewis, head Marshals Betty Freedenberg and Marilyn Fried- man directed the entire force and managed to keep the school operating smoothly. Another one of their many services to the school was their locker duty. They Mpatrolledw the halls in the morning after all the other members of the student body were safely in their home- rooms. If they spied a girl's locker open they closed it, thus performing one more service to the school and earning the gratitude of all with whom they came in contact. 45
