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.

Lilernry S111 ff PENN YAN KEY As in former years, The Penn Yan Key, better known as the Senior Annual, the record of the progress and activities of the graduat- ing class, was entirely a class project. 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. LVIIIIIIIIITIV. 1111.58 Slreeler 5 , - - -.rx
