Gouverneur High School - Deanonian Yearbook (Gouverneur, NY)

Football The 1930 football season opened in G. H. S. during the first week of school, when approximately twenty-five candidates reported for practice, to Mr. Lisle Riley, our new coach. The first game, with Carthage, convinced Mr. Brown, Coach Riley, and the boys themselves that our light team could not hope to compete with the heavier, more experienced teams of Northern New York. At a special meeting it was decided that Gouverneur should temporarily withdraw from the League, and should play only pick-up games. As many of this year’s players expect to return next fall, we hope that our school may again take a prominent place in the League. The men who received letters were: Meryl Appleby, Robert Blair, Donald Brown, John Griffith, Alan Hillis, Robert Hilts, Gerald Jardine, Donald Mon- treville, Norman Pickert, Erwin Peck, Bennie Saidel, Louis Saidel, Robert Storie, Kenneth Taylor, Ernest Washburn.

Delta Literary Society By actively participating in athletics, in dramatics, in the Dean Oratorical, Art Essay, and Senior Essay Contests, and in social affairs, and hy working on the Decmonian Staff, the Deltas have made this year one of the most notable in the history of our organization, the oldest girls’ society in G. H. S. We owe much of this success to the perseverance of our president, Florence Greenhill, and to the assistance of our faculty advisers, Miss Brooks and Miss Formanek. In the fall we raised money by selling Purple and Gold Megaphones for color day. On February 17, we entertained the Minervas at a theatre party, followed by a dance. During the year we gave two banquets to welcome twelve initiates into our society. Late in June we enjoyed our annual banquet at the Red Brick Tavern. Throughout the two semesters the Deltas maintained a higher scholastic standing than any of the other three societies in G. H. S. The officers for 1930-31 were: President..................... Florence Greenhill Vice-President ................... Marjorie Morris Secretary .................... Helen Richardson Treasurer .................... Gertrude McKean Chaplain.............................Helen Washburn Maude IVells.
