'Miss Cheerleader of 1964 Fails To Watch Ball Players
When most people go to football games, they watch the players. Not Dee Dee Davis; she watches the cheerleaders.
Because of the opportunities cheerleading has brought her, the Shawnee Mission freshman takes more than a spectator's interest in the yells, leaps and cartwheels of KU's varsity cheerleaders.
Miss Davis will appear in the January issue of "Seventeen" magazine as one of 12 girls representing the varied interests of American teenagers. She visited New York Oct. 1 to model for the magazine.
MISS DAVIS was selected for the issue on the basis of her participation in the National Cheerleading
As one of 150 boy and girl cheerleaders who coached high school clinics throughout the country, Miss Davis visited Maryville, Mo., Norman, Okla., and Jonesboro, Ark., demonstrating cheers.
Association's coaching clinic last summer.
She was also selected "Miss Cheerleader of 1954" in the Kansas City Heart of America tournament sponsored by the Kansas City Chiefs football team in June.
AS HEAD CHEERLEADER at Shawnee Mission North High School during her junior and senior years, Miss Davis led her squad to championships at cheerleading clinics in Oklahoma and Texas.
The 5-foot, 5-inch, brown-haired Miss Davis was photographed modeling two outfits for "Seventeen." One picture, showing her in a raincoat, was taken in the "Seventeen" studio, she said, with a hose used to achieve a sudden rainstorm. The other, in a sports-dress, was shot in the mall of Central Park in New York.

One picture, and possibly both will appear in the magazine, she said. Though the models were kept busy with photographs during their three-day New York visit, they did manage to squeeze in a trip to the World's Fair.

A "PIT CREW" BEDTIME STORY
(Guaranteed to produce heavy eyelids and long yawns)
Once upon a time, in the very beginning, The Pit was nothing more than a false front for a lumber yard. But in 1937, the sleeping beauty awoke. Marvin Terry opened a small tavern and restaurant with a seating capacity of about 25 people (or 70 students), making The Pit almost as deep as it was wide.
After a short regime under other owners, The Fit was purchased in 1938 by Ralph Bright. Ralph owned the "Students' Paradise" until 1956, then came a succession of owners ending with Dick Laverentz.
When Dick bought The Pit in 1959, the seating capacity was 60, and now after expanding the interior seating and adding an open-air patio, The Pit can accommodate 205 happy people.
Starting next week, we will feature our employees. We hope you will follow us every Thursday in the UDK for an exclusive peek into the twisted little minds that help make The Southern Pit the students' favorite hangout.
