0 0 Uflfflnllfl Despite the closing of the pool because of the water shortage. the SNVlNlNllNC CLUB. advised by Miss Kcvlin. managed to get through with all its Junior Life Saving and other Red Cross tests. Since the organization of this sports ac- tivity in the early 1940's. the YMCA pool has been the scene of kicking and splashing every Tuesday afternoon during the school year. This year, the girls were divided into several groups, from be- ginners to accomplished water-bugs, and the pool was churning with activity as each mermaid prac- ticed faithfully her strokes or her dives. Thus these girls worked to develop into smooth and polished champions. .S?0Q86!66l! Something new has been added to the Davis girls' sports! Yes, SPEEDBALL, intro- duced to take the place of field hockey, proved an equally thrilling but less dangerous game. ,lust as in most of the other sports, there was a tournament in which five teams partici- pated-in this case, one senior-junior and four sophomore teams. However, the upperclassmen, led by Mildred U'Hara, were proclaimed Victor- ious, though much competition was provided by the four sophomore teams captained by Marion Frieary, Nancy Ulmstead, Lorene Knowles, and Elaine Simes. The future of speedball at Davis seems favorable, because of the season's success this ROW 1: J. Hoff man, B. Sturtevant, J. Gra ham, M. O,Hara, A. Prof- ke, C. Schafbuchg ROW 2: Miss Taylor, M.

Some of you may think that only the boys can have championship teams, but the girls of Davis know differently. For once upon a time the GIRLS' BASKETBALL team won six county championships in seven years! Up until the State Board at Albany abolished inter-school basket- ball in 1925, Davis was in a league called the Big Six, which included Yonkers, White Plains, New Rochelle, Mamaroneck, Portchester, and Davis. It was during the first half of the 20's when Miss Wight first came to Davis, that she quickly acquired the habit of turning out cham- pionship teams, except in 1923-24, when the team lost the crown by one game. How is that for thrills? Basketball is the oldest girls' sport at Davis and was being played 'way back in 1906 by the Nausicaa Basketball Club. ir 5 7 afefdaf BOW 1: M. Briglia, G. S1-hafbuch, B.

Diehl After the inter-school games were abol- ished, the feminine athletes had to turn their talents to battling it out between the classes. Naturally, the seniors were expected to win these tournaments, as they were the oldest and most experienced. However, since events not always work out as expected, the seniors usually did not gallop off with the honors. This year, though, it was different, and, ably led by Gloria Schafbuch, the seniors did come out on top, boasting a clean slate of six victories and no defeats, with the two sophomore teams, Soph. 1, captained by Ann Pressman, and Soph. 2, led by Ann Huber, taking second and third places, respectively. 68 audicaa 56.6-1906
