THE AQUILA 1939 To Geneva High School We've gathered here for four straight years Within your massive hallsg Our secret hopes and doubting fears We whispered to your wallsg And never yef have you betrayed A single trust that we have made. We're leaving now for trips beyond- Advenfures unbeknown! Our prayer-'more of friendship's bond Like that which you have shown' Faithfully, our mem'ries clingg As long as life, your praise we'II sing! -ORLA JEAN MARTIN bi i THE AQun.A 1939 A GOOD TEACHER IS NEVER FORGOTTENH Dedication Miss Dorothy Diles, instructor in English literature and grammar, and dramatic coach, has accom- panied our Senior class through five years of school life. She has been our constant companion, one who has taught persons rather than subjects, one who has created a thirst for knowledge, and through her enthusiasm has reflected a great personality. ln an effort to show our appreciation, we, the class of '39, dedicate this Aquila to her. May our only hope be that her cultural tastes be exemplified in us. THE AQUILA 1939 Table Cl Contents ADMINISTRATION CLASSES Senior Junior .... .... Sophomore .. . . . . Ninth ..... ....

Since the Canal has been com- pleted, Geneva has grown by leaps and bounds. You owe it to yourself to come back and visit your home town. You wouldn't recognize the place. Yesterday as l walked down the midway, whom should I meet but Mrs. Jane Barrow Steele and Ellen Beer at the Florida Exhibit where Sophie Latak was dipping orange sher- bet. Jane is happily married while Ellen is still stepping out with Edgar Dennison, the most eligible bachelor in Geneva. We all wanted to see Harry Scott's famous Hula Dancers so we took a bus which hand- some Witter Moon was driving. He told us all about Witter, Jr. and the baby and in- formed us the best place to leave our kids, is Alta Dusenberry's nursery where Agnes Kelly is the English governess. When we ar- rived at the show, Bob Geho was barking for the Hula Hula's and Dan Donovan, who is now mayor of Footville, was stepping up to buy a ticket. When we had found the ex- cellent seats to which Emma Penhollow had ushered us, we discovered we were seated be- side Frances Peterson and Rosalie Christian. Several rows in front of us, we glimpsed Carl Behling knitting some socks. Frances was on a vacation from John Hopkins Hospital after nursing Tyrone Power back to health, now that old age is creeping upon him, and Rosalie is a teacher of math at Western Reserve University. What connection Hula Hulas have with nursing and math we don't know, but anyway Scotty has a great show and all for a quarter. We left, with our search for entertainment well satisfied, but not our appetites. We de- cided to stop at the miniature Waldorf Astoria. On the way, we were detained by Martha Jean Rollins, who insisted upon an- alyzing our hand writing. At last we arrived at the Waldorf Astoria. Who should greet us but Carl Price, the head waiter. We were given delightful seats and Louise Jeppe, the hostess, presented our menus. Perhaps she remembered her old classmates as she care- fully counted the number of menus as well as twenty-three spoons, both before and after. We gave our order and then Glenadore Chapman furnish- ed some supper music. She came to our table and introduced Ruth Johnson, her pianist. When our steak and mushrooms arrived, I knew the unmistakable aroma of Robert Matteson's recipe. And so they were! After finishing the last morsel of Bob's delicious mushrooms, it was necessary to return to Broadway Inn which, by the way, is under the expert management of Mary Cauffield, be- fore visiting Hal Swartz's nite club. Ellen Beer suddenly remembered that she had a business letter to be written so we made our way toward the Chamber of Commerce. Whom should we find but Eva Duplay ready and willing to take our dictation. After chat- ting about old times we finally arrived at the hotel. Freshening up a bit we made a bee line for Hal's nite club. ls it a beauty! And the music - ohooo, even l wanted to dance after traversing the fair grounds all day. It was the unmistakable beauty of Betty Brott and her Melody Snycopators, who have en- deared themselves to the American public. As a special act Charles DeWolf was trying to win Dorothy Lamour's affections with his Charles McCarthy, but Dot seems partial to Edgar Bergen. Well, we can't all be success- ful in love! Back to the hotel, tired but happy from seeing all of my old friends, and who do you suppose was registering at the desk! None other than Albert William Ford, who is now President of the Ford Motor Company. He had brought his own private secretary, Yir- ginia Fleming with him. They both seemed extremely spry after Zl years of work and toil to make the Ford Motor Company the or- ganization it is today. ln the morning I was awakened by the cry of news boys yelling Extra Extra First Woman Lawyer Appears Before the U. S. Supreme Court. I hurried to buy a paper and discovered that our own Pauline Vian was the famous lady in person, and she was en- deavoring to get Don Cirino out of Alcatraz. Poor Don! We know it's all a mistake! As I glanced over the paper I noticed that Dortha Cromwell was running for Governor of Ohio. I know one vote she'll get. There was Lucille Starkey's name on the front page for winning the Pulitzer Prize with her autobiography, Memories of My Childhood. You know me, l simply couldn't miss the society page and here it was announced that Frank Gornick THE AQUILA 1939 and Mary Spring were at last married, and by their old school friend, Reverend Gerald Jeppe. At last I finally arrived at the funnies and here was a serial drawn by Evelyn Stone- burner. lf the heroine doesn't look like Bar- bara Stricklerl Apropos, Barb has a lovely beauty salon on the second floor of Broad- way Inn. For the furtherance of my educa- tion I gleaned the editorial and found it was written by Esther Fisher, and here was a column on vocational guidance which Rosalie Charkoff edited. It was late by this time so I hurried down stairs to a delicious breakfast of ham and eggs, which Edna Lord had pre- pared expecially for me. Were they goodl Another interesting day at the Fairl Be- ginning with the Hall of Science, Dick Stiles surprised me by trying to get my opinions on Einstein's theory. He hasn't changed much! Farther in the building I found Howard Hul- bert displaying a new type of arch support and in the Agricultural Department was Gor- don Spade demonstrating the proper method of raising double tomatoes. Lillian Lathrop was demonstrating the new uses for glass in synthetic materials to her feminine audience in another room, while Bus Waite was demon- strating the comforts of stream lined trains with a toy model. Will he ever grow up? At last I departed from the Science building much enlightened upon the present state of our old class mates. I hadn't walked a hundred yards before I came upon Joe Sintic, the tatoo man, and Eliabeth Spinelli, the vendor of souvenir iewelry. I left the tatoos for another day. Down the street was Lucy Thomas drawing sketches and I didn't hear a single person say, Now, that doesn't look a thing like me. Why you knowo LL . Lucy has the tech- nique, she makes them all beautifull Suddenly every one started dashing toward the roller skating rink, where Evelyn Migie is giving an exhibition, so I dashed, too. ln the middle of the crowd was Bob Noirot with his '39 Plymouth convertible and IO dozen of his choicest eggs from his Jefferson farm completely smashed when Bob wound himself around a telephone pole. Dick Nash was on hand with his ambulance which was not need- ed and LeRoy Balliet carried away the re- mains with his wrecker. Tom Westlake, offi- cial detective, was snooping around but found no incriminating evidence except the broken eggs and telephone pole. Eleven o'clock was the hour set to choose the most beautiful blond. As I hurried to find a front seat l saw a gentleman pacing up and down the boardwalk with his hands behind him. He had long blond locks and beard and was reciting something to himself. l seated myself between Jeanne Yearley and Helen Price Korver, the office widow, and asked Jeanne who the man might be. She informed me that he was Warren Ashley, who had recently been chosen poet laureate of Harvard and that he always found his greatest inspiration along the shores of Lake Erie. Jeanne has become a well-known dietician. Helen and I were deciding who among the girls had the most pulchritude when Jean Ebs ap- peared. She started reminicing about ZO years ago today when she had won first prize in just such a contest. A tired, nervous, but prosperous looking business man took a seat in front of us. I recognized his face so, acci- dentally on purpose, I knocked his hat 'til he turned around. It was none other than Gordon Kissman, who was taking his first vacation in IO years from his work as chief engineer for General Electric. We bought some hot dogs from Marian Henderson and hurried over to the girl's swim- ming events. Here was Florence Tomsic tak- ing first place in high diving. I met Orla Jean Martin who was telling of some poor Latin student she was teaching, and Jeannette Tyler who is celebrating her 2Oth wedding an- niversary today. The three of us stayed to see Frank Zima's Stanford athletes perform on the high-board while Frank Giangicoma was rubbing them with oil. He is the official trainer and hasn't lost much of his red hair yet. Ruth Hazen happened along about that time and informed us that just I5 years ago yesterday she had promised to love, honor, and obey her bosses' son. We all decided congratulations were due John Korver, chief executive of the fair, so the six of us called on him. As we walked through his outer office, we noticed Verna Gaines typing rapidly and Betty Prince usher- ed us to the door of the Mr. Korver. Be- hind a modernistic desk was the toil-worn executive with his feet resting comfortably upon the desk, mint julep in his hand and cigar in his mouth. Oh, to be in his placel Bob Fuller was studying the plans and blue prints he had drawn while John was explain- ing the purpose of the fair to us. John asked me to write this epistle to you, urging you to visit him and his fair lhe's mar- ried now, so don't rush girlsl as we drank a toast to the class of '39 the most successful class in the history of Geneva High School.

THE AQUILA 1939 The Teachings OF Ferdinand You can add to your happiness if you but profit by the life of Ferdinand, that famous bovine who was such a problem in his own community. lf you have never studied his life, why not do so now and see the methods by which Ferdinand found for himself a happy way of life? Can you add to the following list of Happiness Hints by Ferdinand? l. HONESTY. He did not lie nor bluff. He told his mother he did not like to fight. So he did not have to butt heads with the other bulls and hurt him- self. 2. RIGHTEOUS ANGER. Peace-loving and sweet-tempered Ferdinand was able to rise in anger when some one invaded his personal rights. And when aroused he was four-legged destruction, 3. MODESTY. Hailed by all as the best of the bulls in Spain, the center of attraction, surrounded by cheering thousands, he did not change. He re- mained true to his ideals and to himself. 4. SIMPLICITY. Ferdinand did not make himself miserable and unhappy by trying to keep up with the other bulls. He loved nature, flowers, and sunsets. ln his choice of the beautiful things of nature he was wise. High blood pressure, hardening of the arteries, nervous indigestion, and mental disorders will never trouble Ferdinand. This is only a partial list. Perhaps you can discover other Happiness Hints in the career of Ferdinand. -H. E. Peck L L A To The Seniors Another year has rolled away, and again we are saying Good-bye to a group of boys and girls, the Seniors, who are about to step into the world on their own-a world of un- certainty today. For twelve years, long years to some but short ones to others, they have been guided, encouraged in face of difficulties, and even urged on in some instances, by their teachers, friends, and parents, until their goal has been reached-a goal of which each should be proud. lt is with some degree of concern that we see these boys and girls leave our school this year to go into a world so uncertain and so torn with strife. We have fear in our hearts with regard to what the world holds for them today. For some, graduation will be merely a stepping stone to a higher education, to others it will lead to satisfaction in chosen work or in homemaking. Yet, all this may be changed, they may be called to work for which not one of them is prepared. This class has accomplished many worthwhile things during their years in school- both as a class and as represented by individuals. The football, basketball, and track teams have been helped a great deal by members of this class. Successful plays, the Talon and Aquila are also accomplishments of which the class may be proud. Individual recog- nition has been won in scholarship and oratorical contests. Our band and orchestra points with pride to the seniors wha have contributed so much to their success. Without a doubt these classmates will be missed by all. We have enjoyed having them with us for these years, and hope that our friendship and associations, as well as the know- ledge they have acquired, will help them to live and be worthwhile citizens.

Frances Peterson, Notary Public twenty-eight THE AQUILA 1939 X K H 5 Soaring With The Eagle As we started our journey four years ago On the wings of the eagle in flight, We little realized the importance, While riding, of holding on tight. We sought for the best for nothing, Without grasping the things we would need, But rode on being independent With never a thought to take heed. Though entering with the purpose of learning We failed oftentimes to follow through, Now in the midst of our sorrows and regrets The time for departure is due. ln making out schedules we followed our friends Now it seems they led us astray Too long we waited to make up our minds And settle down, quitting the play. As freshmen and sophomores we were little known And were ordered around by the others, But now that we are of the senior class We boss the little sisters and brothers. Sometimes while in flight with the eagle, A few times with disaster we met, As sometimes when grade cards came out On our reports a failure we did get. twcnty-nine Upon entering the Junior class Larger tasks awaited to be done, We struggled and fought, trying so hard To make the best of every one. Our junior year seemed better, But this year was the very best, Activities we entered, our friends, and our teachers Are things we'll never forget, To them who taught us and treated us well, They who our works directed, They whom we should adore most of all Our actions little regard reflected. Though trouble we had with our teachers We honor them one and all Even though at times they would punish us By, Go to the Eighth period hall. The leader of all is Mr. Peck Who followed upon Mr. Frasher, With his secretary Miss Pelton He works on with unceasing measure Among the faculty we have Mr. Spafford All of us know him as Spaff, Though he embarrasses the girls we all agree He's swell to have on the staff. THE AQUILA 1939 Miss Sparrow as our sponsor, and Miss Over- holt, too Prepare us for the business field. Mr. Ekern as our home-room teacher and guide ln shop his energy does yield. To Mrs. Beckwith so learned who sponsors Girl Reserves We give honor and respect both high, While we remember Mr. Lutz for his teaching of math And also as sponsor of Hi-Y. Soaring on with the eagle we meet two more, Foreign languages they do teach Miss Fleming and Miss Marsh both so grand Having honors like we all hope to reach. This year we have two, both known as Doc For they work in science you know Mr. Landsman the master of Chemistry and Physics While Mr, Farwig in Biology does show. ln the directing of plays for the last few years Miss Diles has won no shame ln her skillful manner she brought about David Copperfield , our Junior Play, of fame. Miss Hysell too, has won us as friends As she taught and drilled us in math, Mr. Barr has earned recognition from all By his work on the great sport path. Miss Sampson our admired junior sponsor Has taught us to sew and to cook. Mr. Logan, though new, has taught us our civics As our friend his name goes in the book. Mr. Overturf drilling in football and track Miss Miller with time spent in gym Together these two have led us through And have given us plenty of vim. Among our new teachers we find Mr. Deverell With baton waving in his right, He leads our orchestra, chorus, and band As they all achieve new height. Last but not least we have Miss Forsythe For her this place l took To give her thanks from all of us For her work in creating this book. We are finishing the first step, the easiest of all The great one is yet to start For we leave the school to follow the others To go out and do our part. Though the road is rough, and it has many bends We'll try not to go astray .lust keep our heads clear and mind no others And carefully follow the way. We're the product of Geneva, though partly self-made We'll try to guard the trade name, We're stepping out into the world To try to bring it fame. lt's like a mother in this great world of ours Doing its part to show the way, All through our years no matter how long We'll be loyal to the Scarlet and Gray. On the night of commencement as we cross the stage And take the diploma in hand, That means we are leaving our Alma Mater ln the world to take our stand. If you see tears in our eyes as we spend our last day As to our school we say goodbye, lt's only that we are proud to be Graduates of Geneva High.

Even so the Juniors of l939 feel that they have accomplished quite a bit in their Junior year for the school. One of the outstanding accomplishments of the Junior Class was the beginning of the Jitterbugs. At Mr. Peck's suggestion, nine girls from the Junior Class were chosen to jitter for basketball games. The nine girls chosen were Nancy Lee Kinnear, Nancy Johnson, Dorothy Jeppe, Doris Konczal, Evelyn Russel, Evelyn Branford, Virginia Stanley, Helen Mraz, and Doris Perry. These girls worked hard to get new routines for each game and a great deal of praise is due to them. The Pep Squad organized to increase the size of the marching band, composed of Junior Girls. ln order to improve the appearance of the band, a pep squad was organized. These girls, about 30 in number, marched with the band at football games and led cheers. While it seems that the girls of the Junior Class did the most of extra- curricular activities, the boys were busy with their sports. The Junior Class had their share in the sports. In football quite a few of the varsity was made up of Juniors. Charles Manthey received honorable mention in the All- League selections. ln basketball again, most of the regulars were Juniors. This was specially true after the first half of the basketball season. On all- League selections, Dick Chapman was given honorable mention, he was also Sth in league scoring. The Junior Class is well represented in the Hi-Y and Girl Reserve organizations and the Athletic Association. Last but not least, comes the Junior Prom. This prom, given annually by the Juniors to the Seniors is made possible through the annual Junior Play. This year's Junior Play was quite exceptional. All parts were played well and it was well received by everyone. lt is the hope of all the Juniors that the prom, made possible through the play will long be remembered by the Seniors as outstanding in their high school careers. -Class Officers thirty-four THE AQUILA 1939 TENTH GRADE OFFICERS Left to rightfmmes Zito, Dorothy Humphrey, Jake Gray.

Only four Iettermen returned from the '37 Lake Shore League Champions to form the nucleus for the '38 team. SENIORS WARREN ASHLEY-played both End and Guard-gave a good account of himself. RONALD BROMLEY-first year on squad-all the qualities of a natural athlete-played some nice ball. ROBERT GEHOewhen he felt like playing ball he was a very tough boy. GORDON KISSMAN-lacked the natural ability, but a wonderful team player and great scrapper. ROBERT MATTESON-new at the game of football, Bob tried hard and would be a great end if he had one more year. HAROLD SWARTZ-quite hard working and plenty of team spirit-a great boy to have on the squad. FRANK ZIMA-without a doubt, one of the best Iinemen in the league. Frank was a fighter, and a great leader for the team. He gained a berth on the Lake Shore League second team. JUNIORS JOE COMMISSO-a human dynamo-completing his second year as a regu- lar-chosen as next year's captain. JAMES GEORGE-natural scrapper-will be changed from guard to end for next year. ED GRAY-A great punter and passer-Ed should blossom out next year to be one of the outstanding backs in the league. HAROLD KEENER-completing his second year as a regular-a natural athlete-could go places. CHARLES MANTHEY-one of the stars ofa mediocre team. Gained honor- able mention on the Lake Shore teams. BOB PEARSON-starting late in the season, Bob played some great football -should reach the top in his senior year. SOPHOMORES RAY WHELPLEY and JOHN MOOSE KERNS-were the only two first year men to win awards-both of these boys are expected to go down in the History of Geneva Hi Athletics as top notchers, if they keep putting forth their best at all times. forty-eight THE AQU ILA I 939 First row-Jack Craine, Carmen Sanzotta, Bill Lomas, Andy Boomhower, David Coy, Bob Konczal.

Never taltering and with each player giving his up- most, it became impossible for any team to stop the warrior's fighting ma- chine, once it got under way. With such pep and ability displayed, it is with- out a doubt that Geneva High will benefit greatly when the boys become var- sity material. Bob MuscIes Zito-at l46 pounds-at the pivot position- actually the toughest and hardest fighter on the team. Eddie Spencer-at quarter- Speed in short-his sweeping end runs gain yardage and speed for winning touch downs. With these two and the nine others of equal cali- ber, the Junior High's come through their season undefeated.

Athletic Association The oustanding project of the Athletic Association for i938-l939 was the financing and purchasing of a Bell and Howell movie projector and public address system. Funds for this project were raised by sponsoring a school circus and by paid movies. The cost of the machine was approximately 5400. Besides this the association has conducted its usual functions of put- ting on night football games away from home, award- ing athletic letters, selling candy etc. f Left to right--Jack Watson, Jacque Kauvor, Leonard Ferguson.

This dramatic society is a member of the National Thespian Dramatic Society for High Schools which was founded in the spring of the year l928 by a group of teachers and students for the purpose of creating a more active and intelli- gent interest in dramatics among boys and girls of secondary schools. More than 32,000 students belong to the National Society. Geneva's Charter was granted by the National Society, April 25, l939. The honor of being named as the first Best Thespian of Geneva goes to William Waite, whose name will be placed on the Best Thespian Honor Roll published in the High School Thespian Magazine. Qualifications for these charter members came through their successes in the follow- ing: William Waite as Micawber in David Copperfield , stationmaster in The Ghost Train , Tommy Tinker, The Eyes of Tlaloc. Katharine Henn as Miss Bourne, The Ghost Train , Amanda Simpkins, The Eyes of Tlaloc. Richard Nash as the Doctor in The Cat and the Canary , Price, The Ghost Train , Pudge Rogers, The Eyes of Tlaloc.

Eyes OF Tlaloc Mystery and romance was brought to us in The Eyes of Tlaloc , Athletic Associa- tion play of this year. The scene was laid at a ranch run by Amanda Simpkins lKath- arine Hennl and Ezra Simpkins lWarren Ashleyl. At the ranch house was an idol of Tlaloc, which created a mysterious atmosphere. Bill Delahan ably portrayed the part of the stenotyped, absent minded professor and created many a laugh, later turning out to be a wolf in sheep's clothing. Tommy Tinker, a prize fighter, with brains as well as brawn, was interpreted by Bus Waite. He helped bring the romance into the play by his interest in the ranch owner's niece, Nancy Howe lFrances Petersonl Virginia Lee Byrd tRuth Hazenl and Pat Gillis lBarbara Chapmanl did much to- ward solving the mystery. Virginia, a southern miss, was very shy and timid, while Pat was vigorous and stimulating with her six shooter and Model T Ford. The scream of Tlalco, which sent shivers up our backs, was done by none other than Ronald Brombley. Ronald took the part of Nawa, the Indian. Stanley Brody as a Mexican gentleman, one Senor Salvador Gonzales del Santos of Alvarado, played the part of the excitable, pompous, small Mexican who was on the lookout for his sister's lVirginia Mae Webbl interest. As Pepita Del Santos, Virginia Mae shone as a shy charming Spanish girl, who was in Search of her husband. Pudge Rogers, lDick Nashl the sage brush taxi driver, was realistically portrayed by Dick Nash. Our greatest thrill came when Tlaloc screamed and the panel opened, revealing the idol with its large ruby eyes. The coffin, which appeared in the play, much to our satis- faction did not carry a body, but was full of smuggled jewels. All in all there was a satis- fied feeling in our hearts when the entire mystery was revealed, and we could once more settle back in our seats. fifty-three THE AQUILA 1939 -TTT I I Left to right- William Yearley, William Bonderia, Richard Chapman, Gordon Kiss- man, Frank Giongicomo, Harold Keener. Varsity Basketball Geneva opened its cage season with only twenty four boys reporting for practice, Not only was this few boys to work with, but among them were only three lettermen. These boys were John Korver, Harold Keener, and Richard Chapman. There were five boys, though, that had played ball on the reserves who came back to balance the cagers for the varsity squad this year, these being Gordon Kissman, William Yearley, Frank Giangi- como, William Bonderia, and Joe Commisso. With the material that was available, Coach Barr sent out a team led by John Korver, which defeated Ashtabula and dug its talons deep into the flesh of other rivals. Unfortunately, we lost our spark plug, because of this the rest of the season was spent in preparing the Eagles for future combat, rather than in scoring the desired victories, INDIVIDUAL SCORING Chapman ..................

Aided by the Junior Pep Squad, it featured some maneuvers between halves. lt has taken part in the Annual Spring Concert and Memorial Day Parade. From members of the band a Brass Sextet has been formed which has played tor several local gatherings. lilly mm THE AQUILA 1939 5- ,V Q' F159 'Ui L L -, Q L ' . -1 iv L ' -3? 'A t ' ' ik .

Webster, Mrs. C. Carle, Mrs. A. Ekern and Mrs. W. Friend. This body was beneficial in providing transportation for the girls' many activities. The girls again conducted their activities in hobbies this year. They included swimming, riding, dramatics, metal working, sketching, first aid, knitting, and electrical cooking. Other activities included their trip to Cleveland and class pot-luck suppers. Janis Halliday, in her capacity as Vice President, also acted as chair- man of membership. Three recognition services were very ably conduct- ed. The programs for the year were planned and devleoped by Virginia Mae Webb. Singing formed a large part of the girls' program. Mr. Atkins addressed the girls on Germany , and both Christmas and Lenten services were conducted at their respective seasons. Through the watchful eye of Kathryn Henn, Service chairman, the girls found ways of expressing their idea of service. They conducted a Tag Day Sale to raise money for the prevention of infantile paralysis, packed baskets for needy families, served at P. T. A., and acted as guides at the open- ing of the remodeled grade building. The social events were made possible by Rosalie Christian and her committee. The girls were hostesses to the Spencer Girl Reserves at a Christmas Kid Party. The annual Mother Daughter Banquet was held in the Spring. The Financial committee was headed by Edith Porter. Sales from pictures taken of the entire student body, and those from Christmas cards, proved suuccessful. tyoe THE AQUILA 1939 .fi . 15 T' I . Q Q .lf an fu rv- Q - f , :F -S M 1 V . ' M, r I fa' .

The Hi-Y Club The club was reorganized in the early part of September l938. lt was a Hi-Y Club only in name, for as far as its thirteen members could see, there were no rules or regula- tions to go by, not even a suitable purpose. These boys, however, under the able lead- ership ot the president, William Waite, and the councilor, Mr. Lutz, set the Club on a firm basis with the high standards for which it is known. - ln the latter part of August, William Waite and Jacque Kauvar had attended the Hi-Y Camp at Nelson Dodd. With the suggestions they brought back and those given by the Sponsoring Committee at a joint meeting, the bays had a little with which to work. One ot the members drew up a list ot rules which he called the l-li-Y Guide . This was approved and adopted by the club. Twelve more boys were added to the membership in November, every one ot them was eager to make the l-li-Y Club better than it had ever been before, and each did his share to make it so. William Waite, Gerald Jeppe, Joe Commissa, William Delehan, and Mr. Lutz attend- ed the Hi-Y Conference which was held atlvlassillan on December 3, 4, and 5. The Club held the County Store at the School Circus, held its annual Father-Son Banquet, held Pot Luck Suppers once a month, and held several swims at the Y. M. C, A. in Ashtabula. At the close of the year, five new members from the Sophomore and Junior Classes were taken in, and the officers for the following year were elected. sixty-three THE AQUILA 1939 Cnce ln A Lifetime The story centers around the fact that Jeff and Emily Ross lZalmon Sherwood and Evelyn Noyesl with all the love of a typical American Family have not been able to quench the yearning toward gypsy wandering Konrad lCharles Matheyl their adopted son, who is by truth a mixture of Romany blood, can not conceal. Jeff Ross is striving to become the none too-educated, bluff, kindly, middle-aged proprietor ofa filling station and tourist camp. Emily has the rare insight of one who understands both a growing boy, Konrad, and the grown boy, Jeff. The love interest in the play is supplied by Dinsmore, the writer lBiIl Delahanl and Konrad for the lovely Laurie York, lDoris Konczall. This pleasant triangle of affection is contrasted to a less pleasant one which developed later in the play between Konrad and the two gypsy characters, Stan ll-larold Keenerl and Zara lKatherine Hennl. The Daro lRonaId Bromleyl and the Dayo Uanis Hallidayl are heads ot the gypsy tribe. The Daro is a wanderer, grown l middle-aged, but more kindly. The Dayo is a little wily as befits one who has long practiced the hazardous art of reading fortunes. Carminal lNancy Lee Kinnearl and Katinka lVirginia Stanleyl add much to the gypsy atmosphere with dancing and merriment. Four gypsy dancers, Edith Porter, Evelyn Russell, Doris Perry and Dorothy Jeppe, per- form. The cast is completed by Stella lThelma Phillipsl a good hearted not too bright village girl and Rodney lJack Kauvarl the village half wit who is simple yet shrewd. The play was well acted and well received. tyf THE AQUILA 1939 l First Row-Wilma Carlson, Patricia Rosenberry, Patricia Schroll, Rheta Fleming, Dorothy Puddcr, Harriet Harper, Katharine Miller, Edna Mae Hill, Alta Dusenberry, Second Rows Alberta Brooks, Betty Shay, Edith Russell, Evelyn Branford, .lean Ebs, Adah Nichols, Mary Jones, Louise Jeppe, Mrs. Beckwith. Girls' Council The Girls Council is a new organization in our school. lt was founded by Mrs. Beckwith, the Dean ot Girls. The organization is made up of an equal representation ot girls from each home room. One girl from each small home room and three girls from the larger home rooms, constitute the group. This group has a two-fold purpose: to aid G.H.S. girls in accepting responsibilities that are theirs as members of the student body, and to foster the activities the girls would like to have as a part of G.l-l.S. i ill?

Overturf mentioned several boys who may turn to the best as being: Guy Geel, Bill Loveland, Kenneth Davis, and Howard Hulbert in running events, and Frank Zima, Ronald Bromley, and Dan Donovan in weights. Spring Football For the first time in many, many years, Geneva has had Spring foot- ball training. Training lasts four consecutive weeks. The first two of these weeks this season was divided because of continual snow and rainy weather. The Coach, Smiling Ray Overturf met with a squad of 25 boys all eager to show their football fortitude. Ten of the 25 boys reporting are letter- men from the '38 squad. Overturf's tentative line-up is the following: Centers: Wayne Hawes, Robert Zito, Guards: Joe Commisso, Robert Gruey, Robert Person, Fred Stuetzer. Tackles: Lloyd Moores, John Kerns, Philip Gibson, Charles Miller. Ends: James George, William Bonderia, Charles Manthey, William Loveland, John De La France, Clarence Hudolin.

A maypole in the center with pastel-colored streamers flowing to form a ceiling, and the walls disguised as a gar- den wall. A white picket fence wound around the orchestra and resting. A bevy of beauti- ful girls dressed in lovely gowns which made the scene seem misty and colorful. The boys looking sophisticated in their dark trousers and white coats. Truly a glamorous and un- forgettable scene. And who created this gorgeous scene? The class of l939, of course. Only they knew how many hours it took to paint 350 yards of huge rocks on white paper. The patience it took to make so many various and different hued paper flowers! Miss Samp- son was a great helper and advisor for all the decorators. The floor show, laughter and hilarity following its end. Our boys depicting The Death of Julius Caesar in true modern form. Don't you who weren't there wish you had been? lt is such activities as this that makes our school life so enjoyable. The seniors were having such a good time they almost forgot it was their last dance, sixty-eight THE AQUILA 1939 New Fires New Fires , the senior class play staged May l9, presented a life-like portrayal of the over- age American family. It contained a happy combination of adolescent, sophisticated, and rural characters, humor, wholesomeness, natural stituations, shart snappy speeches, complica- tions, dramatic climax, pathos, and good common sense. The entire action of the play took place in the combination dining-room-living-room of the old Santry homestead, in the Ozarks of southern Missouri. The four rural characters in their traditional garb of farmer folk lPauIine Vian as Lucinda Andrews, a widow of fifty, the sharp, dictatorial housekeeper, Mary Spring as Suzanne Toler, a spinster of thirty-five or so, likely to spend the rest of her days in meek obedience to such people as Lucinda, Dick Nash as Sid Sperry, the farm hand, restricted in cultural opportunities, but nobody's fool , Witter Moon as Jerry, Sid's son, quick witted, regulation rural sixteen year olcl, pleased the audience with their interpretations. William Waite as Stephen Santry ably faced the challenge of his role by shading his char- acterization to portray an idealist, a writer, misunderstood by his family whom he tried to shake from their purposeless living through moral suasion. His wife, Anne, played by Virginia Mae Webb, seemed to many to be justified in resenting Stephen's attitude. Her role was given much thoughtful study to bring out the contrasts neCeSSC1ry. The two youngest of the Santry family Billy, Harry Scott, and Phyllis, Rosalie Christian, caused the audience many a chuckle in putting across interpretations of regulation young- sters. Olive, Orla Jean Martin, the eldest daughter, hated being dictated to. Lack of responsi- bilities, unwise use of leisure time, selfishness, accounted for the Olive we met at the open- ing of the play. She resented Doctor Gray'5, Frank Zima, wise counsel, and claimed to hate him. ln passing on to Olive the wise philosophy that the hills had strengthened in him, he taught her to find contentment in life and in her growing love for him. Dick, the eldest son, Warren Ashley, and Eve, his wife, Frances Peterson, learned during the play that only work and true love bring miracles and that satisfaction which ends in complete happiness. They each portrayed a real growth through the play. Mary Mqrghgll Jeanne Yegrleyl and her mather, Mrs. Marshal, Ruth Hazen, represented rural life at its best. Although New Fires was fundamentally a clever and amusing modern comedy, there was a thoughtful strain running through it which called for and was given sympathetic and in- telligent treatment by the cast. sixty-nine THE AQUILA 1939 E1 El Farewell The Senior class of thirty-nine Must take their place in the alumni line, The work four years ago begun ls now completed-all is done. At last has come the final day When each must go his separate way. We would express our gratitude To those who as our guides have stood: They've led us o'er the rugged path, Awakened our minds in Science and Math, Gave us encouragement in so many ways, Helping us through our High School days. Then, as if in echo, down the hall We hear the Future's clarion call. We raise our eyes to yon green hill To start our task, obey His will. So bidding Geneva High adieu With courageous hearts we pass from view. -Orla Jean Martin El El THE AQUILA 1939 Calendar 1938-39 SEPTEMBER School starts, and once more the carefree days of summer come to an end for another school year. We discover that the faculty of Geneva High boasts six new teachers .... Miss Jean Forsythe, Miss Leolyn Miller, Miss Genevieve Marsh, who by the way is a Genevan, Mr. Harry Logan, Mr. Arnold Farwig, and Mr. Richard Deverell. The new faculty members get off to a busy start with Miss Forsythe meeting with those interested in Talon work, and Mr. Deverell sending out an S. O. S. to everyone .... any- one at all in fact .... with an instrument which can be used in band or orchestra, to dust it off and bring it to school and learn to play it, even free lessons. Madison football game, we win .... Johnny Korver is in- jured in the game. Exhibition game with Harbor and we lose .... . As September comes to a close, we find that organizations and classes have chosen their officers for the coming year and everything and everybody settles themselves into more or less of a routine, waiting and hoping it'll all come out all right. OCTOBER Seniors are contemplating graduation in a big way, and the jeweler has a busy day taking ring measurements. They aren't worried a bit now about passing.

Miss Forsythe announces the Talon staff and Esther Fisher is chosen Editor with Mina Wetzig and Nellie Sutton chosen assistant editors. Then Mr. Landsman tells us one that we may at first think would make him a charter member of the club Corrigan was elected to with no trouble at all, but to anyone who knows any- thing about mountains it is an absolute truth: Mr. Landsman was un- fortunate enough to be caught in a snow storm on July 4 at Mt. Evan. Mr. and Mrs. E. A. Spafford, entertain the faculty with a pot-luck supper at the Spafford cottage, Madison-on-the-Lake. Geneva plays at Harbor losing by a score of l9-O.

We, the Class of '39, shall truly miss the guiding hand of our Superintendent, Mr. Peck. Although he may remain here in Geneva High School, we, the Seniors shall de- part in many directions. We do here and now thank him for the advice he has rendered us and the patience he has shown when we have wronged. May the Supreme Judge of the world bestow His blessings upon him and may he be SuCCeSSful in all that he does. We Shgll look back Upgn the faculty not as those who found our mistakes but as those kind persons who helped mold our liveS into Whef fl'leY we f0ClOYi H1059 DGVSODS who helped us to attain that goal which we DOVE worked fOWGrd for twelve years - d . gra uation. We shall ever remember the many hours spent in producing the Aquila, the kind assistance of Miss Forsythe, the discouraging moments, and the pride with which we pre- sented it to the student body. The thrill that went through us as the curtain went up on David Copperfield our first class presentation, and the memories of the hard work put forth by Miss Diles to make it a success, shall ever be cherished by US. We regretfully leave behind the privilege of attending another Junior-Senior Prom, one of the most eagerly awaited-for events of our school life. We shall ever cherish the friendships which we found here in Geneva High School. When we think of: We shall remember: Warren Ashley ..... ..... H is wavy, yellow hair.
