V 9 fn A' B 5 I W . '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.
