The history of the yearbook in our school starts about 1917. The first ones were known as the UYEARBOOKJ' In the early 1920's the publication was discon- tinued. lt was published again in 1926 and has been a highlight of the schoolyear ever since. In 1930 only, the book was named the KEYSTONE. From 1931-35 it was called the UYANKEEY' Since 1936 it has been known as the KEY. This year the theme is The Arts. Throughout the book the reader will find a record of our school years depicted in the various fields of useful and fine arts. Some of the useful arts are business, agriculture, shop, and homemaking. The fine arts in- clude sports, music, art, the dance, litera- ture, and dramatics. Realizing that men and women who served our country preserved the arts for us, we are dedicating our book to them. Now, the yearbook is completed, and it is time once again to leave, taking with us this record of our happy school . ,- fi uni. fl fl -x -, f nv X W. ,fl ,SY D Y N .1, wi' l u 'lu lk r lf If I V. ,xg Q n Qi i -'Wwe s :- Xgxx' l l , T' 3 5' 'fs ff N il asf ,n gi' -gil -1'1 Q l 1 as an gn - Table of Contents Page i v 5 6-10 11-28 29-40 41-44 45-70 71-S0 Title Page Foreword Table of Contents In Appreciation Administration and Faculty Senior Section Classes Curricular Activities C10-fll1I'I'l0llllll' Activities Patrons and Advertisers 4 We Pay Tribute QU' n y., KWH 5 ul - 3..--f si. .4 Hugh R. Meldrum, Kenneth Swartwood, Mrs. Bertha Wilson, Fred Gelder, John Townsend The Senior Class of Penn Yan Academy wishes to dedicate the 1954 edition of the Penn Yan Key to all who have served or are serving in the armed forces. From th-e earliest wars, men and women from Penn Yan and surrounding areas have given their services for a cause in which they believed. They died that you and I might have freedom and life under God. They died in heroic efforts to crush war from the earth. They died that we might overcome the causes of war: pride, lust, avarice, anger, gluttony, envy and sloth. ' Freedom Is A Great Word Nofwadays 'l' and to those who have bought this freedom with their life's blood, we say a heart-felt THANK YOU. 'l' From the Armistice Day Oration by Father Francis C.

Joslyn. Without his untiring efforts and limitless sacrifices the task of organizing the central school system would have been next to impossible, ln addition, he has had his regular duties which are in themselves challenging. Mr. Joslyn has an A. B. from Hough- ton College and a M. Ed. from St. Bon- aventure. He has also had advanced work at Syracuse and New York Univer- sities. Mr. Joslyn belongs to the N. E. A. and Yates County and Penn Yan Teach- ers Associations, He also belongs to the New York Council of City and Village Superintendents and the American As- sociation of School Administrators.

W lim Potter Toda -a boy walks with God- His Jeath has made it so, But with faith and love as great as his, He walked there long ago. His life with us was not in vain, His purpose was fulfilled, The strength and light he brought to all, Guide us tho' he was killed. To us life seems so very near, And heaven years away, Yet .lim's presence in our nights, Will help show us the day. Men come and go upon this earth, But never su h as he, For in our maids and in our hearts, He was perfect as could be . 29 JUNIOR ADVISERS Seated: Mr. Rodney Wells, Miss Margaret MaCallion, Bob Gelder, Pam Scranton, Bill Wilkes, Bill Seagcrg Standing: Mr. Walter Franklin, Mr. John Harper Iumors From the freshman through the junior year officers of their class were as follows: Presidents, David Conley, Mary Wilber, William Wilkes, Vice Presidents, Douglas Calhoun, Beverly Gilligan, William Seagerg Secretaries, Carol Mac- Daniel, Pamela Scranton, Beverly Gilligang Treasurers, Jack DePew, Robert Gelder, Qtwo yearsjg Student Council Representatives, Therese Hoban, Gordon Bascom, Pamela Scranton. The Freshman Frolic featured April Showers , the Sophomore Hop had as its theme, Hawaii , and the Junior Prom was outstanding as a Mardi Gras . ln the freshman class Honesty is the Best Policy was presented in a regular assembly. At that time talent scouts noted the dramatic ability of the class. Consequently, that the class of '55 staged one of the most outstanding plays ever to be present- ed was no surprise. Under the direc- tion of Mr. Woodrow Quinn, the UClll'i0llS Savage , a comedy in three acts by John Patrick was presented to a full house. Mary Wilber, as Mrs. Savage, played a stellar role. lst Row: J. Andersen, M. Edsall, V. Beyea, A. D 'is, D. Calhoun, M. Frarey, L. Drew, S. Bordwell, T. Castelluzzo, R. Gelderg 2nd Row: A. Dixon, Fl.

Always Pays AGRICULTURE AGRICULTURE AND METAL Agriculture and Metal Shop provide a l'Jackgr0und for future vocations. The Agriculture course is designed for those who intend to become future farmers. lt deals with all phases of farming from record-keeping to machinery repair and livestock. One of the highest awards that any Agricultural student can re- ceive is theEmpire Farmer Award. Metal Shop teaches different tech- niqes used in industry, It also stresses care and use of machinery. Some of the accomplishments made this year by the boys in metal shop are refinished ben- ches and reconditioned machines for circuit wiring. K. METAL SHOP ,.,.q.L-4-4'9 42 the Best Interest MR, DOOLITTLE'S CLASS To make progress in today's business world, a person needs business math, algebra and retailing. These subjects help students to reason and think through problems, and they provide a strong back- ground for secretaries, accountants or sales clerks. Training in these subjects should enable pupils to go far in business. ie? it e 43 RETAILING to Those Concerned How many students realize that history, biology and cook- ing are related subjects? His- tory teaches about people in other lands, their customs and their foods. Their recipes in the cooking class provide for study of health values and for cook- ing. Health classes inform the students of the digestion of food and the foods needed for a balanced diet. ii ! ! 5' 'W' NQ 'Q F ? lf IQI' l B, L fun? f 47 fix 1 l ' Q, Eg A , n - 5 Q '3W f , 1 X ' 'X k 4 - 1, , '-,v .' -- Ea ' ' , ' f 'W ' ' ?' ff4p1 fQ N X ' ' 'vis a 'V , , - ,4.A W N05 , X X , 1 , J , is Ak I N L I1 .5 fL' ,vf u Qs fi Nw 1 ff 'r ff Y .V yy XM xx V X W, J ,if ' N N X . -3 1- ' .A M 'Q gf' , ,bf I f f X ?-- A 5:- 5.7 f 5 f x .r 4 ' if 1.

No one can forget the exciting opening game which Jefferson won by scoring a touchdown and a safety in the latter part of the first quarter. Excellent teamplay was displayed by the Mustangs when they trampled Palmyra. Backfield and line worked in perfect co-ordination for the season's lone victory. P. Y. A. closed out its dismal season with a loss to Desales. Coaching chores for this part were shared by Mr. Edward Pond, Mr. Rodney Wells and Mr. David Garvey. Co-captains, elected at the end of the year, were Fred Stevens and Ruppert Jensen. Seniors on the team were Jack Edmonds, Bob Erwin, Don Flynn, Kurtz Gilligan, Ken Knapp, Jon LeGro, George Miller, Steve Osborne, Butch Shalansky, Bill Snyder and Fred Stevens.

With on- ly two seniors return- ing from last year's team, the basis of the team had to be molded from last year's J. V. players who were in- experienced to Var- sity competition. While the right combination was be- ing sought, the team suffered many heart- breaking defeats. A number of games were close and were decided in the closing minutes. However, the morale of the team did not crack, and the team ended the season as a veteran ball club. With five returning lettermen, the record of next yeas-'s team may prove brighter. Though not successful in the win column, this year's team and Mr. Pond feel that it was a successful season for character and sports- manship. J. V. CHEERLEADERS 1st Row: E. Jensen, D. Putnam, S. Pond, 2nd Row: N. Coon, B. Quenan, D. Swartwood 52 Self Control The Junior Varsity began its season with a team primarily com- posed of last year's Junior High team. They were fairly well- grounded in funda- mentals but not too offensive-minded. Their desire to learn, work hard and win, plus their good team play, enabled them to win twelve games out of seven- teen. Next year this J. V. squad will likely give the Varsity team enough depth to en- able them to have a fine season. Red Jacket Painted Post Waterloo Lyons Geneva Seneca Falls Canandaina , Newark Desales Ll .1 J. V.

None of the teams in the league defeated P. Y. A. by more than 7 points. The team was made up pri- marily of sophomores and jun- iors who, as the season pro- gressed, improved noticeably. Outstanding members of the team were Robert Erwin,Con- rad Gill, Fred Stevens, Arthur Killian, Harold Pielow, Fred Gelder, Paul McDurfee, James Johnstone, Clifton Austerman and Don Raynak. Of these Gill, Killian, Stevens, and Auster- man represented P. Y. A. in the Sectionals at Rochester, where Fred Stevens set a new record for the 120 yard low hurdles of 14 seconds. The 1954 season loolrs good for P. Y. A. since boys from last year have turned out again this year. S6 Good Will TENNIS Coach Garvey and his tennis team started prac- tice early in the spring of 1953. ln the Finger Lakes Tournament Ricky and Tom Barden defeated first a Geneva and then a Water- loo team. As champions they competed in Rochester, but were defeated in the quar- ter-finals by a team from Sodus. As the Key goes to press, no one can tell what this year's results will hc: but Coach Garvey is looking forward to a good season, with the return of one sen- ior Bill Turner, and an addi- tion of several sophomores.

The Curious Savage, the first full-length fantasy ever produced by a Junior class in the Academy, was a play in which many queer things happened. Mary Wilber as Mrs. Savage and Mary Konop as Mrs. Paddy played heavy roles. The entire cast, under the direction of Mr. Wood- row Quinn, showed dramat- ic ability. Mrs, Margaret Bowes and Albert Davis created a stage setting that helped malre the production a hit. nj www Na JUNIOR PLAY CAST Seated: Mary Wilber, Mary Konop, Pam Scranton, Standing: John McMinn, David Pelton, Sally Bordwell, Gordon Bascom, Joe Just, Robert Hayes, Donna Leach, Dorothy Washburn wx F1 xl if 2 . x 1 X JUNIOR CREW 1st Row: Anne Townsend, Donald Arwine, Claude Starkey, Bartel Borglum, Albert Davis, 2nd Row: Phyllis Roe, Virginia Thomas, Beverly Gilligan, Sally Schofield, Sandra Smith, Elizabeth Rogers, Marjorie Wuerth, Pat Zimdahlg 3rd Row: George Jensen, Ernest Sperr, Harold Pielow, Dave Conley, Jim Edmonds, Glenn Thompson 61 ll U We Had a A Change of Heart SENIOR PLAY CAST lst Row: N.

SENIOR PLAY On November 6, 1953 the Senior Class pres- ented its annual play, A Change of Heart by Maryane and Joseph Hayes. The production was under the direction of Mrs. Charlotte G. Fitzpatrick. This com- edy in three acts took place on the terrace of the Dunlap home in a small college town. Jennie Dunlap, a model child, encounter- ed opposition by her parents when she tried to prove she had normal likes and dislikes. Dandy Orvis, a friend of Jennie's, came forward with startling ideas but finally helped to prove to Mr. and Mrs. Dunlap that their daughter was like other girls and not a model child .

The pe!- son shall receive points for the same service under two headings. Only one point may be used in each group. Honor Society in 1953 had forty-nine members, twenty of whom were last year's graduates. Ten were seniors, and thirteen were sophomores. This year, Janice Daggett, chairman, and Mr. Woodrow Quinn, adviser, altered the requirements for admittance. The club meetings were held because the requirements call for participation in a number of activities which do not leave sufficient time for meetings. - be 1lfQif'?g2 nz g ,g ill E, s 3 ,E 63 The Student Council Advised Us is--ul 1st Row: S.
