S GRADUATION We, the Senior Class of 1940, in order to create a more perfect yearbook, dedicate this Senior Annual to Donald A. Grant. As he was our adviser throughout our last year in Penn Yan Academy, we consider this dedication especially fitting. Whenever our class was faced with a difficult situation, Mr. Grant was always willing to lend a helping hand. When we approached him as in- dividuals, he was of equal assistance. Mr. Grant will always be remembered by the class of '40 for his willing cooperation, his sound advice, and his ever-present sense of humor. We wish him every success in the future.

'J 'YS Gig ,I N P HISTORY OF THE CLASS OF 1940 Penn Yan Academy's future students will speak in humble awe of the deeds of the history-makers who graduated in 1940, even as do many teachers now. Behold the deeds we leave for our posterity to FCVUCZ - High in the fall of 1937, established homerooms, and elected officers Wendell Turner became presidentg Lois Sutherland, vice-president' Jack Snyder, secretaryg and Thomas Dee, treasurer. In the second semester another election was necessary, because of the unprecedented emigration of the president and vice-president. The class picked Al Jensen to finish the presidential term, and Jerry Platt to be vice- president On October 22 we held the Sophomore Flop, aptly named. The class netted one dollar and twenty-five cents. One hundred twenty of us came back to school in the fall of 1938. Upstairs now, we reached high for our class officers, selecting Lester Loomis as presidentg Martha Jensen, vice-president, Marshall F olts secretary, and Ed Worden, treasurer December second we played to a roaring completely filled house presenting as our three one-act plays: Bargains in Cathay ' J azz and Minuet-, and The Pampered Darling. From this evening we cleared-oh, a large amount of folding money. In the spring we gleefully overcame the Seniors Cby sheer powerj winning J unior-Senior Play Day. We consoled them with a Nautical Prom on June 27, which had breath-stealing blue and white decorations, a hot orchestra, and eat- able, drinkable refreshments. What's more, we made money! The remaining ninety-seven shifted at last into Senior homeroom coming to rest 'neath the eagle eye of Miss Stowe, our appointed keeper. We chose as president our own Bill Smith, vice-president Sally Norrisg secretary, Eva Henricksg treasurer, Jack CG. J .D Snyder Thanks to Tom Dee's whirlwind advertising campaign, our Senior Play, Growing Pains, was even more successful than the Junior Plays, netting a large number of shekels. To increase our monetary supply we also sold candy once a week. i ay tenth came our Senior Ball, another huge success Cwitness all 'V V V'fV'hnf1r1fNfg,-Nfmrx A AA 5 B.,- L.

His brow was dark, his eyes were glazed, As on his home-work sheet he gazed, And with a trembling pen did write These gruesome words in black and white: X equals 6. Look here! the teacher did implore, I'll go through this clause just once more It seems to be quite hard of late Your granite skulls to penetrate. In 1812 ..... For home-work now you'll kindly do This work that I'll assign to you. It's rather short, I must confess. 'Twill take you several hours-no less- There's more to come. Example two, page fifty-four- Just write three hundred words or more. The senior rose. His voice was low. The words came painfully and slow: Aw, have a heart! The teacher's voice was cold as rock. It caused the senior's knees to knock. Explain yourself! He falteringly said, Without some 'shut-eye' I'll go dead. I get no sleep. Behold these circles 'neath my eyesg Observe the yawn which fain would rise. I am, alas, a jitterbug. I spent all last night 'cutting rug'- I'm all beat out! Ah, once I was a freshman gay, But now my hair is turning gray. I used to think that life was great, No late hour made me hesitate. Them days is gone! The teacher's voice still held no cheer. The final regents soon are here, Yet when to study you should strive, You sit up 'digging' Goodman's 'jive'- And shaggin' down! Upon your dome, a rill' I'll beat. The rhythm educates your feet, . And that's where you must keep your brains Because I know your head contains- Excelsior!

Well, first we had elections. We decided that Ted Daniels should be our president and Jean Chauncey, our vice-president. But, we had rather a hard time electing secretary and treasurer. Finally, we decided that Paul Clark should he secretary and Bill Challis treasurer. Then, of course, there was Student Council, Ted Daniels as president was already a member, and Jean Chauncey was chosen as student representative. Then Hi-Y and Tri-Y took eight boys and eight girls into their clubs from our class. Two Sopho- mores were very lucky and were taken into Mr. Grant's Electronics Club.

We had our Sophomore Hop on October 25 in the gym. It began at eight o'clock and continued until eleven. The chairmen of some of the committees were Ted Daniels, general chairman, Jean Chauncey, gamesg Bill Clumm, musicg and Henry Jewett, refreshments. Our class has always been considered very lucky. We were the first Eighth Grade to have a class party and the first Sophomore class to have a play. Our play was called Bang! Goes Christmas and was directed by Miss Beard. Now that we are in the Academy, we hope our luck will continue. 25 if---- S lfirsl Hou: TIIIIIIIIIN .lIt'llflfIOIl. lxrllflrjvrf fflt'1lI'.V. l.!lIlFl'II liurlrlv.

POST GRADUATES Motto: lf at first you don'l succeed, try playing second base. Colors: Cole blue. Song: Way Back in 1939 A. D. llistory: Let. it be History A, B, C, or P. tl., fundamentally itfs the same old story. We came, we saw, we elected Phil Whitaker as our president. Since history repeals itself, we'll just skip over the months and stop at December. As Christmas came t.he usual time, we celebrated Cas the seniors did notll with an informal gathering which in- cluded refreshments, a Christmas tree with lights, mistletoe, and several members of '38. Everything came ofl' fine Cincluding the leg on the tablel, but with the aid of one of our capable male classmates that difliculty was soon dispensed with. February was marked by the arrival of new window shades for our homeroom and an avalanche of snow. The latter necessitated temporary dismissal of school, as you recollect. As this book goes to press in the middle of the semester and we cannot forelell the future, we do not know our next moves, but we hope they will be as brilliant as our past ones. Will: The class will leave the school by the front door. To the Sophomore boys we leave the privilege of being bashful OD, to the girls, the privilege of flirting with the Senior boys. We leave the Juniors' the gum which will be found under the desks in el.2l. QSee motto: lf at first you don't succeed, etc. J To the Seniors we leave the book, How to Be a Successful P. C. in Ten liasy Lessons. We leave the faculty with twenty-two fewer headaches. We leave the rest to your imagination. me Vi The PENN YAN KEY presents , Acrlvlms STUDENT COUNCIL PENNSY-YANKEE PENN YAN KEY HI-Y and TRI-Y BAND GLEE CLUB CLUBS DRAMATICS YQ I of Sludenl Council I us! lion' llfvv l -S'1'll'tll'll' ll' Srnilh lm' Sulivhurv l .ll'lISf'll I.

'r STUDENT COUNCIL In the Student Council, the executive body of the Student Association, the advisers this year were Mr. Chauncey, Miss Beard, and Miss Seward. The officers were: president, Lester Loomis, vice- president, Alfred Jensen, secretary, Douglas Jolley, treasurer, Barbara Salisbury. T he other members were: Senior Class president, William Smith, Junior Class president, Donald Smith, Sophomore Class president, Theodore Daniels, Senior representative, Martha Jensen, Junior representative, Shirley Gelder, Sophomore representative, Jean Chaun- cey, Post-graduate representative, Philip Whitaker, Chairman of Honor Society, Constance Millis, Chair- man of Girls' Athletics, Doris Duval, Chairman of Boys' Athletics, Marshall Folts, Chairman of Social Activities, Suzanne Jolley, Chairman of Assemblies, Floyd Tillman, Yankee representative, Thomas Dee. Following the football season, the Council gave a party for the squad, coaches, managers and guests. This year the Honor Society tAlpha Sigma Etaj was sponsored by the Student Council, as has been the custom in previous years. The lucky ones were awarded honor pins at the last school assembly. 28 THE PENNSY-YANKEE The Pennsy-Yankee, Penn Yan Academy's out- standing newspaper, had a very successful year under the supervision of the Misses Streeter, literary adviser, Bemer, technical adviserg and Bailey, art adviser. The paper was published twice a month during the school term. The Seniors edited the paper, with the helpful aid of some thirty Juniors and Sophomores. From these sup- porters were chosen the staff for next year, who edited the last two numbers of the paper, as is customary each year. The editor-in-chief, Connie Millis, was very ably as- sisted by the associate editor, Jessie Earle, literature editor, Doris Phillipsg news editor, Connie Duellg slashes editor, Clarabel Darmstadt, feature editor, Martha Jenseng music and drama editor, Jean Swan- song exchange editor, Loretta Cavagnarog girls' sports editors, Eleanor Boyd and Betty Spaulding, boys' sports editors, Peter Farinelli and Kenneth Bardeng humor editor, Thomas Deeg business manager, Alfred Jensen: circulation managers, Eva Henricks and Jessie Earleg art editor, Elizabeth Simonseng Yankee respresentative to Student Council, Thomas Dee. The club worked diligently and faithfully, making the school paper one of the best in this vicinity. Special mention should be given to the art staff for their clever covers and humorous cartoons. Besides, the new head- ings greatly improved the appearance of the paper. To better the paper, the staff sent Sarah Norris to the Empire St.ate School Press Association Convention, held in Syracuse, to bring back some suggestions which would benefit the paper. In April, under the supervision of Phyllis Reed, the senior editors were guests of the Sophomores and Juniors at an informal party in the gym. They were made to feel at home by the unique decorations which had for a theme, a newspaper oflice. The retiring staff deserve unlimited praise for their faithfulness, diligence, and accomplishments. The suc- ceeding stafl' are also worthy of approval in their aid to the Seniors. May they keep up the good work and make the Pennsy-Yankeen not one of the best school papers in the vicinity, but the best paper, ever. Good luck to the new statf! fl f1 1'SPf Business fllanayer Circnlalion Murzagers .ill iss I I ilda E.

The class of nineteen hundred forty elected Eva Henricks editor-in- chief, who chose Marjorie Scoon as assistant editor. The business manager was John Hyland, with Joe Barrow as assistant. The following people were selected to do write-ups in The Penn Yan Key : Dedication, Douglas Jolleyg Junior Class, Janet Kelseyg Sophomore Class, Mary MacDougallq P.C.'s, Kathryn Gleavyg Student Council, Barbara Salisbury, Pennsy-Yankee, Connie Millis, Annual, Shirley Gelder, Tri-Y, Barbara Gelder, Hi-Y, Edward Smith, Band, George Stark, Glee Club, Eleanor Boyd, Future Farmers of America, Gerhart Weichenthalq Senior Play, Martha Jenseng Junior Play, Virginia Burg: Sophomore Play, Ellen Swarth- outg Football, Joseph Maroneyg Basketball, Carl Bruntg Boys' Spring Sports, Peter Farinellig Girls' Sports, Doris Duval. The art editor this year was Jeanne Stapleton. Her assistant was Connie Millis. Sarah Norris and Lester Loomis were in charge of the Senior write-ups. The informal photography was managed by several of our candid- camera fans. Marshall F olts was in charge of this work. The Seniors elected Jack Snyder and Chet Carey to write the Class Will. The Class Song was composed by Connie Millis and Doris Duval. David Sweet was chosen as the Class Poet and Earl Peterson as Prophet. The Class History was written by Alfred Jensen. These six students worked hard on their tasks and hope that the work is acceptable to the reader. The Annual owes much of its success to the generosity of the local merchants who contributed their support through advertisements. The Seniors wish to express to them their sincere appreciation. The class is deeply indebted to Miss Hilda Streeter, Miss Barbara Stow, and Mr. C. E. Chauncey for their line advice, help and en- couragement. lrl I tlllor lmnne Sluplelon Buszness tllIlHll1!IPl'.'.10,Il1 ll-vlmm' .-l1ll'fxcrs.' fllr.

The club got oll' to a late start this year because of the new way of taking in members by application. However, their members inducted, they made up for lost time. At one of their first meetings they elected oilicers Lester Loomis was elected presidentg William Smith, vice-presidentq Thomas Dee, secretary, Marshall Folts, treasurer. The oflicers for the second half were: John Hyland, presidentg Robert Flynn, vice-presidentg Edward Smith, secretary, and Robert Allison, treasurer. The adviser was Mr. Donald Seese. The club participated in several area Hi-Y Council meetings and Lester Loomis was elected vice- president of this council. T he first important activity carried out by this club was the refreshment stand conducted at every home game. During the basketball season they provided the fans with programs containing the line- up and rules of the game. During Easter Week the club conducted a religious assembly. The principal speaker was Father Head. ln early spring the Hi-Y Club played host to several out-of-town clubs. This proved very success- ful. To wind up the season they had their annual dinner-dance.

The greatest thrill was playing lor the Cole Indoor Circus. On November 30 several members journeyed to Rochester to attend the All-New York State Music Clinic at the liastman School of Music. Those who went were George Stark, Richard Johnson, Barbara Yan Dyke, and Jean Payne. Several mem- bers also participated in the Tri-county Band on February 20. On April 5 the Band went to Waterloo to compete in the New York State Sectional Music Festival Contest. The numbers played were: Barber of Seville by Rossini, Niobe', by de Rubertis Cre- quiredl, and The World Is Waiting for the Sunrise by Lockart- Seitz. Besides the Band there were several soloists who competed for honors at the contest. They were: George Stark, Richard Johnson, clarinetsg Margaret Morse, Shirley Gelder, flutes, Richard Brown, Cornet, Charles Brainard, baritoneg Jean Payne, trombone, Gloria Sill, bassoon. The graduating members were: Norman Chapin, cornetg Gerald Baker, horn, Lester Loomis, trombone, and Jack Snyder, drum. 33 GIRLS' CLEE CLUB One of the outstanding musical organizations of the school is the Girls' Clee Club, under the direction of Miss Beatrice Horton. This , past year the Clee Club consisted of seventy-three members and was divided into three sections: soprano, second soprano, and alto. The pianist was Lorraine Morich. Some of the girls bought their own music, while others who did not used the copies bought by the music department. l Un February 29, 19190, the Clee Club went to Waterloo, where the Finger Lakes Singing Festival was held. A few of the places repre- sented there were: Canandaigua, Geneva, Naples, Seneca Falls, and t Yictor. Iiach school sang two songs, Our filee Club sang Looking for the Lost. Chord by Lorenz and The Olden Songs by Dreisler. At the end of the program the schools united in singing I Dream of Jeannie with the Light Brown Hair by Stephen Foster, Massa Dear by Dvorak, and The Star-Spangled Banner. The tilee Club also sang at a Music Festival which was held in the Junior lligh School Auditorium on Way 24, 1910. The two songs which they sang were Ciribiribin by Moore and Looking for the Lost Chord by Lorenz. Some of the outstanding members of the Clee Club this year were Barbara Yan Dyke and Martha Jensen, alto: Patsy Howard and Ann Stevens, first soprano.

Last fall it was their privilege to be one of the six schools allowed to exhibit at. the State Fair. The booth was a working model of a football game. One team represented the factors which favor success in farming. The other represented factors against success. This booth appeared at both State and County fairs and at our Fruit and Crops Show. The proceeds from both fairs helped to finance the chapter's activities for the year. The annual Fruit and Crops Show came October 16. While the exhibit was not so large as in some years, the judges considered the quality of the produce exhibited as of the best. ln the evening a short, program was given, at which time the awards to the exhibitors were made. After the program the produce was offered for sale. The boys attended the Fall Rally of the Ontario group of Future Farmers at Canandaigua, November 18. About twenty-live repre- sented Penn Yan. ln December the Future Farmers entered a team in the Penn Yan School Rifle Club, practicing Wednesday nights at the school rille range under Wilkins's Hardware store. The Club affiliated with the National Rifle Association, meaning that P. Y. A. may shoot, in competion with other schools in the lfnited States. The chapter sent representatives who participated in the school contest at Cornell during Farm-and-Home Week. A delegate was also sent at that time to the State mid-winter meeting of Future Farmers. , Each year the chapter sponsors a Father-and-Son Ranquel some time in April. To this banquet each boy brings his father. For the past two or three years there has been a speaker from the State Experi- ment Station at Geneva. 35 OTHER CLUBS The P. Y. A. Boys' Cooking Club has-just completed a very success- ful year under the able supervision of Miss Barbara Cole. Of the twenty boys Bennett Carey was elected presidentg Paul Neilson, vice-president Q llenry Jewett, secretary, and James Hoban, treasurer. Any of the club members would be Ready, Willing and Able to accept jobs as chefs. Elcclrun ics fflulr llriflye Club Buys' lllec Club 0 Boys' Cooking Girls' Shop The Boys' Clee Club did not elect officers this year. They sang popular music such as Sweet Adeline and Down by the Old Mill Stream. Under the able direction of Miss Barbara Stowe, the boys have learned quite a lot. Some of Penn Yan Academy's most promi- nent boys make up the twenty-two members in the club. This year P. Y. A. had a Girls' Shop Club under the supervision of Mr. Stoneburg. Barbara Salisbury was elected presidentg Gladys Tillman, vice-president, and Margaret Keefer, secretary-treasurer. During the year the girls made little cedar chests and silver bracelets. Each girl paid twenty-live cents to cover the expense of the materials. This year the Iilectronics Club was composed of twelve members. They elected no officers, but Bob Ostrowski handled the money of the club. This was probably the most active club in school. The boys wired all the English rooms for broadcasting. They installed a new loud-speaker for basketball games. Perhaps the best thing the boys did, which brought so much fun at noon, was furnishing music for dancing. The Cirls' Bridge Club this year was under the able direction of Miss Reilly. Winifred MacAllister was elected president, Alice Anthony, vice-presidenlg and Agnes Zubris, secretary-treasurer. Many of the girls knew nothing about bridge, but by the end of the year everybody was playing with little difficulty. 36 W 'md SENIOR PLAY On Friday night, November 3, 1939, the Senior Class presented the comedy, 5'Growing Pains, by Aurania Ptoureral. What fun they had in preparing for this memorable affair! Who doesn't re- member lhe snake dance and all the hand-bills? Little wonder that it was such a highly successful play when directed by Miss Dorothy Ward. ln this play the psychology of a girl growing into womanhood and a young boy growing out of the puppy-love stage threw light on experiences in the lives of adolescents. Terry and George McIntyre CConnie Millis and Jack Snyderj were the two out-spoken youngsters who caused so much trouble to their parents tMartha Jensen and Lester Loomisb. Prudence Darling tJeanne Stapletonj, a beautiful lady, was the object of George's affections-for a while. Brian CMarshal Foltsj caused Terry a great deal of misery because of his interest in Prudence also. We can never forget Loretta Cavagnaro as Elsie Patterson and Jacqueline Ogden as Mrs. Patterson. The various committees contributed much to the success of the play. Chairman of scenery was Gilbert Bakerg costumes, Barbara Salisburyg make-up, Gerald Baker, properties, Norman Chaping lighting, Edward Smith, business, Thomas Deep advertising, Teresa Ottavianog program, Eleanor Boyd. As a result of this entertaining play, the Senior Class treasury was increased by one hundred and twenty-one dollars. Top lion: linker. Folls. Carey. Jensen. Pl1il1'ps. llenricks. Srnillz. Miss Ward.

The entire .Iunior Class cooperated with Miss Ward. director, to make this play a big success. The subject of the play was a murder trial to determine whether Karen Andre fVirginia Burgj was guilty ol' committing murder, or whether she was just an accomplice in a fake suicide. The District Attorney was por- trayed by Donald Pickett. Robert Ostrowski acted as attorney for the de- fense. Star witness was Nancy Lee Faulkner fliathleen Pinneol. widow ol' the victim, Bjourn Faulkner. The other accomplice, a racketeer in love with Karen, Larry Regan, was played by Nlatthew Wallace.

The Orange and Blue boys opened their season with a 27-0 rout of Watkins Glen High School. The next week-end the Penn Yan Acad- emy team held the powerful Clyde High team to a 0-0 deadlock. This was their first league game, but they showed plenty of promise and fight. The following week Penn Yan Academy journeyed to W aterloo, and won by a 13-7 score from a stubborn Waterloo team. Then Lyons came to Penn Yan the following week but left defeated 13-8, in a very hotly contested game. The first defeat at the season was administered by a superior Newark team. lt was an unhappy one because this was the first game in which Penn Yan had been shut out. The final score was: Newark-28, Penn Yan-0. The last game of the season was played at Seneca Falls. They were underdog, supposedly, but the smart Seneca Falls team defeated Penn Yan 16-0. The Orange and Blue scored a total of 53 points to their opponents' 52, and placed third in the Finger Lakes League. Morrow, Legg, and Neilson made the Tri-County All-Star Team. Beyea and Worden, the captain, made the second team. 4.2 First Row: J. Barrow, J. Ilylancl, J. Legg. P. Nielsen, L. Loomis, C. Brurzl. Second llow: fllr. Pond, D. Beebe, E Worden W. Whitaker, ll. Flynn, Illr. Chauncey. BASKETBALL The Penn Yan basketball team faced the 1939-1910 season with the loss of six members from the 1938-1939 squad. They were Brud Burt, Harold Snedeker, Albert Simpson, Jack Larham, Benny Carey, and Bob Grifhn. The 1939-19-10 basketball squad was built around Paul Neilson, Bud Legg, and Ed Worden and was Composed of the following players: Lester Loomis, Joe Barrow, Carl Brunt, Donald Beebe, Bill Whitaker, Howard Flynn, John Hyland, Bud Legg, Ed Worden, and Paul Neilson. Bud and Paul were eo-Captains during the season. Although having a better season than in 1938-1939, Penn Yan seemed to have that same old jinx that has hung around for the past few seasons. Many of the games were lost by a margin of a few points, when a drop of luck Could have put us in the win column. When the season was over, it turned out that the Penn Yan boys had gone down in defeat twelve times and had four times overcome their opponents. Even with so many defeats, there was some consolation in the fact that Paul Neilson thigh scorer for the Finger Lakes League 1938-19393 again gained top- scoring honors in that league as well as tying the high scorer of Wayne County League. And so Penn Yan has something to remember from an otherwise disastrous season. 113 SPRING SPORTS The Penn Yan Academy Track Team, under Coaches Eric Hodge: and Donald Seese, proved the best squad the school had had in many years. It was co-captained by two of last year's stars, Ilarold Hoskinf and Dick Squires. Since the majority of last year's team came back, the coaches had z very few vacancies to fill. Among the veterans to return were Car Brunt, Matthew Wallace, Alfred Fox, Preston Hurlbert, Thoma: Tunney, and Bill Trimmingham. This year's baseball team, under Coach Pond, consisted of many new and young players. There were few veterans back from last year' team, but with the aid of some young hopefuls, Mr. Pond molded : team that was capable of staying in the running. Some veterans re tuming were John Legg, Joe Barrow, Lauren Burtch, and Bol Allison. 44 Cheerleaders GIRLS, SPORTS Many girls received their 300 points necessary to win their chenille letters. There were others who obtained letters for 150 points. In the fall and winter, some of the sports participated in were soccer and basketball. In the spring, the girls enjoyed tennis, track, baseball, archery, ping-pong, and badminton. Much new equipment was pur- chased for playing these sports. Special activities, supervised by teachers were ice-skating, roller- skating, bowling, and hiking. A successful experiment was tried in the gym classes. Girls, chosen for their ability to lead, were placed as sole instructors for the first to the ninth grades. These girls could always be recognized by their white outfits. This responsibility was good training for both the leader and the class. This plan not only creates interest in gym instruction, but helps to qualify the girl to become a future physical education director. Spring play days were very popular. Girls represented P. Y. A. on four such occasions, including one of their own. At the last, Dans- ville, Geneva, Dundee, Waterloo, Newark, Hushville, and Ham- mondsport attended. On this occasion, tennis, archery, ping-pong, and shuflileboard were played. Sixty-four girls took part. These play days have proved to be very helpful in promoting a good spirit between high schools. In May 1940, the annual demonstration of school sports was held. Pupils from the first to the twelfth grade took part. Songs, folk dances, relays, tricks, pyramid building, tumbling, and various games were demonstrated. Connie Millis was chosen cheermaster with Jessie Earle, George Stark, Ann Stevens, and Margie Snyder as the cheerleaders. 4-5 Haag G irls' Tennzs 1-,MQ Poslure Class G Lrls Basketball G irls' 1 Basketball wg 4.- xx s f 1 x f, i -fqmwx ' , 4 , ul 5 ..
