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.

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.

Davis, own brand of Quiz Kids experi- enced the above emotions to achieve the highest all-scholastic honor awarded at our school' membership in Tau Epsilon Pi. Those three mys- terious Greek letters actually only represent an illustrious organization of brilliant students, who, after two straight years with an average of eighty-five per cent or better and no mark below seventy-five per cent, were privileged to wear 48 .

Butzberger, the shiny gold pin symbolizing their achieve- ments. Each member could probably tell of the time spent in calculating percentages, stretching points, and doing extra work, all with one goal in mind. Also not to be forgotten are the agonized moments these candidates spent at the bulletin board, scanning the newly posted list for the familiar nomenclature, the indignant dash to Miss Low to see why they were not mentioned, the sigh of relief upon finding out that the omission was merely a mistake. Naturally, for some geniuses, it was all merely a matter of course, and there was no extra work, worry or anticipation involved. However, the effort was all repaid in the end by the ample reward received from acquiring mem- bership in Tau Epsilon Pi-that of having been worthy of a great personal honor and having made one's years of work at Davis worthy of remem- brance and recognition.
