Doctor H. R. takes the pulse of Davis every month through his assistants, the H. R. REPS. These elected officers represent each home room and form a useful group for service to the school. Organized in 1940, the Reps this year took on their most responsible task to date. ln addition to representing the students, they tried to help the school store by advertising and selling the weekly specials. Having three members on the G. O. council, the Reps are also in a position to rectify any student grievances. ome oom ,xdcluidem Z I if Olflfle OOIWL ROW 1: F. Baena, E. Hodge, V. Copp, E. Kappus, W.

We hope you will like it here, and we shall do all We can to help you. The HOME ROOM ADVISERS, a group started in 1937 by Miss Lewis, have, indeed proven to be a great source of help to new Davisites. This year, many of them joined a new home room of Sophs only. They also gave the Sophs a party called wllhe Sophomore Saluten. Entertainment in- cluded a one-act play, NAnge1 Child , put on by the Dramatic Society, two movies, and a com- munity sing. ROW 1: L.

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

Freedenberg Mt: Childs will be free in a minute, said the girl with a smile, as she looked from her homework-covered desk. Plagued with visions of 200's on his col- lege boards, the nervous Davisite took his place in line to wait his turn. Minutes later, he went forward to hear his fate, encouraged by the girl's friendliness. He knew she was one of the RE- CEPTIONISTS, the chosen few who traded study periods for the opportunity of serving Mr. Childs. She, like others before her since 1941, looked upon this familiar scene for a moment and then returned to her neglected homework. In order to bring the activities of the Hilltoppers'9 to the attention of the residents of the community there appeared at intervals in the Daily Argus , under the sponsorship of Mr. Copp, a column entitled 'GDAVIS DOTS AND DASI-IES . The alert Davisites pictured below managed to be at the right place at the right time to get news. They presented an ac- curate record of the major events at Davis, as Well as honoring those Davis students who man- aged to achieve an average of 90 per cent or better. R. Piersall, N.
