PRINCIPAL W. P. McELROY busies himself with administrative policies. One of the many daily jobs of assistant principal J. R. MORRIS includes announce- ments over the P.A. Secretaries MRS.

CLARE VIGNOLA aid students in schedule changes. MRS. MARION BERRY and MRS. MI- CHELE MALONEY record college acceptances. AFS The Road To . . understanding . . communication . . excitement . . adventure The spirit of AFS— Walk together, talk together, all you peoples of the world. Leo experiences the AFS Feeling as he “moves from the Beltramini family in Argentina to the Filbert family in Geneva. Don Peterson's stay in Panama and Jeff Hanson's summer in the Philippines meant new friendships, a new environ- ment, and a fresh outlook on life. II Travel — Passport To Education STEP 1 To travel across the ocean . . . To rub shoulders with the French, the Germans, the British . . . To return when memories are still strong and fresh . . . THIS is TRAVEL! . . . broadening one's horizon ipLACE. d'ITALIE To French students, a stay in Paris brings familiar sights. Voila la Tour Eiffel et voila Diane Siekman! Captain Joan Johnson von Trapp and Sue Radecky re enact a famous proposal in the land of The Sound of Music. 13 Meeting Today’s Youth MR. ROBERT SCHICK An honest man, close button'd to the chin. Broadcloth without, and a warm heart within. —Cowper '70 Viking As Athletic Director, Mr. Robert Schick makes arrange- ments for the forthcoming basketball season. Mr. and Mrs. Schick and their five children, Kurt, 20 months; Karen, 8; Mark, 10; Sandra, 12; and John, 13; come together for a quiet Sunday afternoon. 14 Building Tomorrow’s Leaders Mr. Gerald Auchstetter's coaching experience goes back to his college days when he was a member of the football team. The Auchstetter family, Amy, 7; Steven, 2; and Melissa, 8; beams after learning that their father received the Coach of the Year award for the second year in a row. MR. GERALD AUCHSTETTER God is always on the side which has the best football coach. —Heywood Brown Dedication A Special Tribute The Viking staff would like to give special recognition to Mr. Roy Anderson, school janitor. Mr. Anderson has babied Geneva High School since its birth, 12 years ago. He has contended with unsuccessful chemistry experiments, carelessly thrown apple cores, burnt-out light bulbs, and gum hidden under desks. All this and never a complaint. A well-deserved thank you, Mr. Anderson. 16 Class Of 1970 Seniors Late, late hours cramming for tests; open lunch hour; subtle sneaks out to Mac's; no dress code; short lived Pepsi machine; famous float building ability; the last Jr.-Sr. banquet; a prom in the land of Camelot; moustaches; car rallies; anonymous T.K.B. club; Latin lover Leo; Student Council president Jeff Hanson; senior class president Tom Kruck; some joyful, some sad final farewells combine to make the class of 70's senior year a success.

B. Priestley's The Linden Tree. The story evolves around the retirement of college professor Robert Linden (Bruce Pflaum). His wife Isabel (Leslie Hemenway) and four children, Marion (Ann Wilson), Rex (Rich Lencioni), Dinah (Kathy Aiken), and Jean (Sue Cowen) urge him to retire. He flatly refuses; and as a result his entire family except for Dinah leave him. When two students (Paula Frasz and Bob Heitzman) come to talk to him, they enhance the already growing family tensions. The drama is occasionally inter- rupted by the antics of Mrs. Cotton (Linda Averill) who adds color by her lack of finesse. Unfortunately though, the play ends when Afred Lockhart (Ralph Herda) informs the professor he will probably be forced to resign. This money making event proved to be successful. Congratulations to the Class of '71. In his spare moments. Junior Class play director, Mr. Williams, studies important passages in the play. Bruce Pflaum competently advises his student, Paula Frasz. The Linden family toasts to their future happiness. The Junior Class show their appreciation to Mr. Williams for his efforts. £ Mr. Williams, the director, and Deb Bar- brey, student director, review the script as Barb Wulgart reads her lines.
