VIHEQCEVH Qnngan QCacf6my Gran L anybiewcjarlff W J Foreword-As we think back over our days in Penn Yan Academy, we remember the gay, happy times we've had and the rough spots that we've been in and worked out of. Now that we're leaving P. Y. A., those rough spots seem small and unimportant, for in the past tour years, we've grown in body, mind, and spirit. Our classes and teachers, our activi- ties, our parents, schoolmates, and community friends have all helped us to prepare for the future. In this edition of The Key we would like to show you the people ond activities that have helped us to grow. SENICRS UNDERCLASSMEN Q CURRICULAR sPoRTs C0-CURRICULAR ADVERTISING ...fl 7.1321 5 J ,, yfp W If DEDICATION The class of 1955 takes pride in dedicating our yearbook to Mr. Walter Franklin. Mr. Franklin has been teaching shop courses in Penn Yan since February, 1946. He has a B. S. degree from Oswego State Teachers College, and a Master's degree in Secondary Administration from Syracuse University. We would like to express our appreciation to Mr. Franklin for his guidance and friendship. He has promoted harmony and understanding in our class, and through his eFforts and suggestions we have achieved success in our undertakings. We are grate- ful for the time and energy he has spent in helping us during the past two years as our class advisor. 3 Seated: Mrs. Glenn Hatch, Robert H. Jolley, John M, Sheridan, send, Standing: Edwin E. Cleoveland, Jr., Maurice J. Taafte, Wm. F. Joslyn, Elden Paddock, Wm. R. Culver, Jam es O. Town- Stanley E. Stout, Paul E. Titus, Wesley Turner. Hats oft to our Board of Education, who are elected by voters to serve a three-year term. Little does the public realize the long hours they work and the faithful service they perform. Regular meetings are held every second Thursday of the month, but many special meetings are called. Moreover, com- mittee meetings and conferences require additional time and thought. So many are their accomplish- ments that we can mention only the most outstanding ones during our tour years as high school students: a new driveway tor the buses, an improved trans- portation system for the entire district, a unified in- structional program throughout the district, a setting up of an Academy store to give pupils a chance to learn how to be a buyer, clerk, bookkeeper, opera- tor, or manager, the hiring of a teacher of develop- mental reading, extension of the audio-visual pro- gram, continuance of the Adult Education classes, the services ot a patrolman before school and at dismissal time, and the selection of sites for ele- mentary school buildings in Dresden, Branchport, and Penn Yan. Plans for new schools have demanded individ- ual work, committee work, evening meetings in var- ious districts, meetings with architects, trips to Albany, convincing people of the need of new schools, etcetera, etcetera, etcetera, that pupils never know about or give little attention to. Nevertheless, when they do stop to think, they do appreciate the Board's service, resulting from their interest in youth. Especially would the class of 1955 like to say, Board members, we are deeply grate- ful. THEIR PLANNING FURTHERS OUR GROWTH A voice with a smile comes daily over our P. A. system- O. Roger Killian, Principal, announcing. One of the main purposes of a secondary school in a democratic society is to provide experiences such as the produc- tion of the Penn Yan Key. These activities interest young peo- ple and help them to grow in line with their abilities and needs. As our school district and educational program expand, many young people with excellent assistance from staff members grow through their hard work to complete a task ot mutual con- cern to all involved. Congratulations to the 1955 staff. ,I Q Wilhelm F. Joslyn X Superintendent . my 'ff i r ff. ii.

Many of us struggled with subiects which were new to us- Latin, algebra, science, and business courses. lntermingled with amo, amas, and amat or x -l- y : ?, we held a bake sale and in an assembly pro- gram produced a Freshman play. Then came April 4, 1952 with its April Showers, the theme of our Frosh Frolic. None of us will ever forget that dance, not only because it was our first, but be- cause we got so tired of cutting, painting, and stringing -raindrops! Our leaders that year were David Conley, presi- dent, Doug Calhoun, vice president, Carol Mc Daniel, secretary, Jack Depew, treasurer, and Teresa Hoban, representative to Student Council. In June 1952, our graduation from Junior High School made us full fledged members of the Academy: Our sophomore year began with Mary Wilber as president, Beverly Gilligan as vice-president, Pam Scranton as secretary, Bob Gelder as treasurer, and Gordon Bascom as representative to Student Council. We got on the ball and started by planning for our Soph Hop, which was held April 28, 1953 with Hawaii as its theme. In the fall of 1952, many of the '55 girls were initiated into Academy Club, while our '55 sportsmen were drafted into Varsity Club. The initiations were rugged, but we looked forward to returning the event to our under classmen in 1953. With Bill Wilkes, president, Bill Seager, vice presi- dent, Bev Gilligan, secretary, Bob Gelder, treasurer, and Pam Scranton, representative to Student Council, the class of '55 began their iunior year with a Sock Dance. The dance was fun with cider and doughnuts as refreshments, but oh those dirty socks! Shortly after mid year exams, members were busy ordering class rings. ln the latter part of March, every junior was showing his new ring to anyone who would look at it. On March 3, 1954, the whole school was saddened by the tragic death of one of the most outstanding members of the iunior class-Jim Potter. Our thanks go to the class of '54 for the wonderful tribute to Jim in their yearbook. As Jim's spirit still lives among us and inspires us, we placed his picture along with those of our class. 'Despite its sorrow and great loss, the class moved forward as Jim would have wanted it to. It wasn't long before we began rehearsing for our junior play- The Curious Savage. We will never forget Mary Wilber as the lady with the blue hair and the teddy bear. Late in the spring we all had fun and gained po- litical experience through the Student Council elections. They were tough battles, but in the end everyone came out shaking hands. At the end of our iunior year, we met the seniors in field day. We felt so important as we marched over to the athletic field displaying our class colors of blue and white! In spite of all our class spirit, we had to bow to the class of '54, We left our iunior year with confi- dence of winning the next field day. September 8, 1954-back to school, the meeting of friends, locating homerooms, and getting lockers. These activities began the busiest year the class had ever seen. Our first money builder was an old fashioned Country Dance, and it served its purpose of a back-to-school, get acquainted dance. Our biggest money maker, how- ever, turned out to be the Senior Play- Come Rain or Shine, which we played to a full house. During the Christmas season, we sold stationery and gold bracelets. We also had our class Christmas party. Through the arrangements made by our guidance director, Mr. Walter Jones, seniors held their annual career night on January 11. On January 28th we held what we consider the best dance of the year. Our Senior Ball had the theme Dreams, with the decorations re- calling many happy memories of our high school days. The rest of the year went so quickly that in no time at all, we were in the month of June. The usual senior activities came and went much too soon. There were field day, the senior banquet, baccalaureate, and finally graduation. As each of us looks back over our four years to- gether, we recall happy memories with our teachers, ad- visors, and friends. When we leave, we will miss Penn Yan Academy with its squeaky floors and stairs, broken desks, and leaky pipes, but most of all we will miss the help and guidance we have found here.

In the second game they tied Palmyra, 13 to 13. The last 5 games were defeats at the hands of Painted Post, Seneca Falls, Clyde, Water- loo, and DeSales. Edward Pond and William Galliher were coaches of the varsity squad. The best game, although a loss, was the Seneca Falls game. Penn Yan's defense held Seneca Falls to only 12 points for the first three quarters, although Seneca Falls was highly favored inithis game. Next year's varsity will lose the services of the fol- lowing Seniors: Bill Wilkes, Doug Calhoun, Dick Jorgen- sen, Jim Townsend, Pete Quenan, Dick Brown and Tony Castelluzzo, backfield men, Joe Just, Jerry Fullager, Gor- don Hansen, and Harold Pielow, linemen. Prior to the final game of the season, the team elected Dick Jorgen- sen and Gordon Hansen, co-captains. This year's football managers were Dick Mason, Dan Bailey, Gary Erwin, Marvin Potts, and Ed Christensen. JUNIOR VARSITY FOOTBALL Row l: G. Erwin, R. Moscarito, M. Falvey, T. Lunney, R. Ewell, M.

V. team is to prepare underclassmen for future Varsity competition, the success of this year's team won't be known until next year when many of the boys become members of the Varsity squad. The best game, although a loss, was the Geneva game. It was a scoreless tie until the fourth quarter. Then Geneva got a lucky break on an on-sides kick which was returned by Geneva to Penn Yan's two-yard line. Penn Yan held them for three downs and on the fourth down Geneva went over for a touchdown.

BASKETBALL The 1954-55 Penn Yan Academy basketball team ended its season with a 4-won, 14 lost record. The team's spirit was always at a high pitch because of the tre- mendous amount of determination that Mr. Pond, the coach, instilled in them before every game. Despite their losing season they played some of the best basketball seen in the league this year. While seeking the right combination, the team lost several close games. Finally during the Lyons game P. Y. A. found that combination and overcame a deficit to win. Penn Yan again came from behind at De Sales and with a last-second shot by Doug Seager won the game 39-38. Penn Yan ended its season on a winning note by trouncing De Sales again, this time 61-26. The squad was composed of seven seniors and five iuniors. Dick Brown, Bill Wilkes, Pete Quenan, Doug Calhoun, Bill Seager, Bob Gelder and Dave Conley were seniors. Returning for another season are Charles Morgan, Bob Dinehart, Doug Seager, Charles Killian, and Ray Mashewske. ' As a result of the fine record of this year's J. V. team and the five veterans from the '54-'55 varsity squad the prospects are bright for an improved record next season.

This was the lowest percentage of wins in three years but the know- ledge and experience gained made up for the bad record. This year's team was the tallest Junior-High Team ever to be coached by Mr. Garvey.

Every boy in the Junior and Senior High School, unless he was engaged in an interscholastic sport, took part in the intramural program this year. For each sport he participated in, the boy received a number of points, provided he had met the qualifications. Some of the boys also received points by officiating or manag- ing intramural sports. ln June, the points were counted and awards were given to the boys having twenty point totals.

Under the supervision of Mr. Joseph Savino and his assistant, Mr. Ignatius Scott, wrestling entered its second year. Last year marked the beginning of wrestling in P. Y. A. as an intramural activity. Because of student interest and enthusiasm, however, it was re- organized in 1955 as a maior sport along with football, baseball, and track. The purpose of the organization is the building of strong and healthy bodies through rigorous training and sound living. To win a Varsity letter a wrestler had to par- ticipate in two-thirds or more of the matches, The team started the season green ex- cept for three men but boasted a member- ship of twelve. Penn Yan met Watkins Glen on the home mat as the starter and traveled to Hammondsport for the second contest. They were defeated 30-28 and 30-18 but not without strong aggression by each mem- ber of the team. The boys learned that ex- perience and training pay high dividends. Seated: R. Mason, T.

RUNNING TO WIN The 1954 cross country team was com- posed mostly of 1953 veterans. Charles Kill- ian, Conrad Till, Bill Seager, Ralph Heil, Bob Hayes, Bob Killian and Bob Mattice were the mainstays. Penn Yan defeated Waterloo 26-28 in its first meet. Charles Killian took first place in the race. In a quadrangle meet of Water- loo, Auburn, Geneva and Penn Yan, Penn Yan placed second. Penn Yan's first runner to cross the finish line was Charles Killian. Following a loss to Canandaigua, Penn Yan placed third in the Finger Lakes Cham- pionship meet at Geneva. Charles Killian again led the team by placing seventh. The Section Five meet was held in Ge- neva with thirteen teams and 100 runners competing. Penn Yan placed a very good sixth place. Charles Killian placed 13th, Bob Killian 33rd, Bill Seager 36th, Bob Hayes 42nd, and Conrad Gill 43rd. Mr. Killian and Mr. Waye, the coaches, deserve much of the credit for moulding the winning team. ,M V , U Sf i 'iv' ,H r . ,fjtsgftt 92,115 if V ' ,X . , K, -- V r ', .

As the year progressed, field hoclgey, shuftleboard, square dancing, basketball and bowling were the main at- tractions. With the new semester, volleyball claimed pupil attention and spring brought a return of our outdoor sports-and, of course, the thrills of cheerleading tryouts! With this wide variety of sports of- fered, as well as playdays and invitation games in various sports, every girl was able to meet the intramural requiremen' N fi THESE GIRLS BECOME for each semester very easily. There were two main leagues in the programp a iunior high league for girls in grades seven through nine and the senior high group for grades ten through twelve. Each sport had several student leaders, each managing the sport of her interest. This plan greatly assisted Mrs. Hornick, earned extra credit toward an intramural award, and was a valuable experience for the girls. Glenda Harris, Mary Wilber, and Phyllis Roe achieved the highest honor awarded in the intramural program-the four-year medal award.

Who's got Wilbur? Penn Yan! Wilbur, our School Spirit, originated in Student Council and whipped a lethargic student body into action to support its teams. Behind most school proi- ects, in fact, is a strong Council. The influence of such a group is not confined to its own school. When Sue Pond, Pam Scranton, Mary Wilber, and Doug Erwin represented the Council at the Western Zone Conference, their advisors felt that they were able to direct schools just organizing a council. Budgets, budgets, budgets! The long hours the Council spent in selling association tickets and mak- ing the budget for 1954-55!!! Their allotments follow: Boys' Athletics, 5850.005 Girls' Athletics, 5300.005 Yankee, 550.005 Honor Society, Sl00.005 Social Ac- tivities, Sl25.005 Assemblies, 325.005 Miscellaneous, 5300.005 making a total of Sl750.00. Probably the most significant activity of the Councilwas the revision of its outmoded constitu- tion. The changes concerned mainly the require- ments, number, and method of election of Junior High Cheerleaders. Row l: John McMinn, Bill Sea- ger, Doug Calhoun, Gordy Bas- com.

WINNERS OF COVETED HONORS John Sutherland Each year eight Junior boys go from Penn Yan Academy to attend Boys' State for one week at Colgate. Their classmates, faculty advisors, and a committee from the American Le- gion choose them on the basis of character, scholarship, leadership, and sportsmanship. The purpose of Boys' State is to give the boys a sense of responsibility and to teach them basic ideas of government in a de- mocracy. Likewise, a good citizen from the eighth grade is chosen to go to Al- bany to learn state government. While there he is a guest of Assemblyman Vernon Blodgett. Dutton S. Peterson, Senator, also sponsors a member from the class in American History on a visit to the State Capital. Representa- tives are iudged on citizenship, schol- arship, leadership and co-operation. 57 u 1 David Hoyer, Mrs. Charlotte Fitzpatrick, Sandra Smith, Rob- ert Gelder, Conrad Gill. 510247035 if ,QW ez.

Contestants in the American Legion Oratoricals, so long as they are winners, may compete in school, county, district, zone, regional, sectional, and national finals. George Clements ofthe class of '55 was third-place win- ner in the finals in Los Angeles in 1954. Conrad Gill, pres- ent contestant, is slated to go far under the direction of Mrs. Charlotte Fitzpatrick, instructor in speech. Through the arrangements of Hugh R. Meldrum, State vice-chairman of Oratoricals, the sectional contest, representing twenty-two states, was held in the Junior High School Auditorium on April 'l. Pupils above the ninth grade and many guests heard the three contestants, the winner of which would enter the finals. Each year four of the best citizens from the Junior and Senior Classes attend a citizenship Education Con- ference at Syracuse. They participate in open discussion of an argumentative subject, and compete for scholar- ships to Syracuse University. Later they receive individual ratings based on tests administered.

The parts of Jac Grayson, a high spirited college-age daughter, and Glenn Grayson, Jac's boisterous brother, were played by Dorothy Washburn and Bob Gelder. Mary Wilber portrayed Agnes Holden, a witty college girl. A sympathetically patient, middle-aged mother was Sally Bordwell. Papa Grayson, ably played by George Clements, was the one to see the light and tell off his browbeating female boss, Gaye Bowen. Anne Townsend looked and acted the part of a sprightly old gossip, Mrs. Sparks. As Helen, the lazy housekeeper, Bev Gilligan went bottoms-up dusting the floor. Pam Scranton protrayed Rosemary March, a sophisticated brat Gordon Bascom gave a sincere and winning depiction of a young play director. Donna Leach handled the part of Irene Holden, another college teenager. Pat Zimdahl was a young intellectual: Dave Conley, a fresh college boy: Barb Hollowell, a Life reporter: and Dave Pelton, a photographer, who was taking shots at the most inconvenient times. The entire action of the play took place on a porch of the summe. home of Mr. and Mrs. Grayson. Miss Mary Gazzetta, art director, and a student design committee had perfected a backdrop of a sparkling blue lake and shady hllls. Come Rain or Shine , by Mariiane and Joseph Hayes, as presented by the class of '55 was a magnificent production, performed before an appreciative audience that packed the auditorium on November 3. Under the direction of Mr. Robert Caryl, the class of I956 presented, as their annual Junior play, Beauty and the Beef , a youthful and delightful comedy by William Davidson.
