HISTORICAL GROUP HOLDS CONVENTION AT GENESEO

The Finger Lakes Area Jamboree of Junior Historical Society of New York state met at Geneseo Central School on Saturday, October 29. About 180 delegates from Perry, Geneseo, Arcade, Vic­tor, Canandaigua, and Kings Ferry were present.

The program was conducted by Bill DeCamp, the area president. Senator Erwin and Congressman Wadsworth spoke to the group asdid Miss Mary Cunningham, editor of the Yorker magazine. In the afternoon the group went over to the Mt. Morris dam and were talked to by an army engineer. Following this they stopped at the Boyd and Parker Shrine.

The Geneseo Chapter was organized four years ago and has forty members this year.

GENESEO CLOSES PERFECT SEASON WITH YORK WIN

In the closing game of the season Geneseo thumped a strong York team by the score of 24-0.

York fumbled on the opening kick off and Bill Deegan scored from the 10 several plays later. Several minutes later Freese scored from the 25. After a McKeown interception in the second quarter, Deegan plunged over with his second touchdown of the game from the 10 yard line.

In the third quarter after "Chink" Morrow had received a York fumble, a pass from "T" Costello to Renny Davis advanced the ball to the York one yard line from where Mario DeBole plunged over for the last touchdown. York threatened in the last period when a 25 yard pass play put the ball deep in Geneseo territory, but the threat was extinguished when a York fumble was recovered by Renny Davis.

Students Attend News Conference In Rochester

On October 8, Audrey Osborne, editor of the yearbook, and Mary Beth Vienna, editor of the Valley! Echoes, attended the High School and College Editors Conference sponsored each year by the Gannett newspapers. Other members of their group included Marie Johnson, business manager of the Val­ley Echoes, and Mary Alison and Diane Archer, reporters for the Valley Echoes. Miss Mary Domann went as the group advisor.

The program consisted of a panel discussion by several Rochester newspaper men including the editor of the Rochester Times-Union. All delegates were taken to lunch at the Hotel Rochester, where prizes were announced. This year the Geneseo yearbook again took first place in its class. The group was accorded special attention since this is the third consecutive year that the "Jen-O-See" has had the honor. The Valley Echoes placed third in its class, with Hornell first and Dansville second.

Noted Author Gives Lecture At Geneseo State

Jesse Stuart, author of “The Thread That Runs So True" but better known to students of Geneseo Central as the author of “Eus­tasia" and "Charles," short stories in the Prose and Poetry, spoke at the college a few weeks ago.

His talk was a description of his trips to Europe and the comparison between prewar Europe and

Europe today. He said that he thought that a united states of Europe was the only solution to the problems in Europe today.

In an interview after the talk Mr. Stuart revealed that he is deeply concerned about the Russian problem and feels that their recent advancement is probably due to the importation of German scientists because he has found the Russians to be a very methodical group of people who advance very slowly.

He reads practically everything available and is a great admirer of the late Thomas Wolfe. His own writing is usually taken from experiences of his own or of others. He is perfectly natural at all times and makes no effort to put on any airs. However, he makes no effort to conceal his vast knowledge either.

A note of interest to Sophomres: "Charies” is a boy that Jesse Stuart taught in his first years of teaching in the one-room school house in the Kentucky hills.

A STUDENT DAY

Every year during the first ten weeks of school the usual gripes about the school return. They are always the same; too much home work, too little time, teachers expect too much, etc. Strangely enough the teachers seem to have the same complaints only in reverse.

I wonder if it wouldn't make both teachers and students appreciate the other side more if they switched places for a day. This would mean that the teachers would have to sit in the class and do the homework, just as a student would; on the other hand a stu­dent would take over in the teachers place and conduct the class. This student could be chosen either by the teacher or by the students in the class, whichever the Student Council and the faculty decided would be the best method. It is also possible that the Student Council president and secretary might take over in the office in place of Mr. Jenkins and Miss Mills.

Schools that have an annual Student Day claim that this has helped a great deal in the relations between students and faculty.

P.S.-Let's have some opinions on this in your letters to the editor.

NEEDED - MORE REPRESENTATION

We all agree that a Student Council is a. wonderful organization. -It promotes student activities, fosters school spirit, and furthers school unity. But, as the case with all things, our Student Council is not perfect. Article 3, Section 1, of the Constitution of the Geneseo High School Student Association states, "The Executive Council shall consist of the duly elected officers of the association and two representatives elected from each of the six classes." Fine as far as it goes, but there seems to be an omission, a very important omission.

What about all the student organizations such as the band, G.A.A., Jen-O­See, the various small clubs, and the Valley Echoes. Are they not part of the student body? Are they not as important in student activities as the classes? Why then, are they not represented in the Student Council?

Advocates of the present system may say, "Class representatives are capable enough to handle the problems involving student organizations." But let us take a hypothetical case. Suppose a dispute arises between a class and another organization. Suppose both want to sell pennants at football games. One of the class representatives is also a member of the aforementioned group. The sale might greatly improve the financial state of either group. What will that person do it he has to cast a deciding vote? The other votes are equally divided. That person's vote will decide who gets benefits of the profits. Probably the class he represents. Thus the class could win out and the other group would come on the short end of the bargain. Should this happen? Is this completely fair?

Why not amend the Student Council Constitution? Why not elect representatives to the Student Council from the already mentioned student organizations? Why not make the Student Council more representative, more demo­cratic?

SENIOR INTERVIEW

By Diane Archer

By Jean Keenan

Her favorite color reveals her character ,better than a hundred and fifty words ever could.. For red expresses well the vitality and vivacity so typical of Rosie Rider.

She is very active in many branches of our school, president of the Senior Class, president of the G.A.A., and a participant in all the activities of our music department.

Although undecided, as yet, about what occupation she wishes to enter, "something in music" figures quite prominently among those she is considering. She spent part of last summer attending the New York State Music Camp held at Otto Lake under the direction of Dr. Swift.

Her taste in reading covers a wide range with the work of Willa Cather and Pearl Buck preferred and "no mysteries allowed." In the field of music her favorites, "Again," Rachmaninoffs "Prelude in C Sharp Minor," and "Clair de Lune,", show again the wide scope of her interests.

I am sure what ever she decides to do Rosie will do it well.

Is there a doctor in the house? No, but his son is quite likely to be somewhere around G.C.S. And you can bank on it that wherever he is, in the gym, on the athletic field, or presiding at a student council meeting, he's busy and efficient. For Duncan Bull has proven, not only that he is one of the most likable people around G.C.S., but also that he can handle the responsibilities given him.

Dunc is an avid sportsman, his favorite sports being basketball and football. He relates that one of his most interesting experiences was seeing a big league baseball game on Eddie Waitkus Night in Philadelphia, the Giants vs. the Phillies.

He likes comparatively light music and his favorlte piece is "Malaguena." In the way of reading he likes mysteries, and books writen by 'Mark Twain.

After graduation he plans to attend the University of Pennsylvania, eventually become an accountant and continue his favorite pastime-sleeping.

_______________________

She went that way." "Who?" Mary Beth Vienna, editor of the Valley Echoes, is the Senior whom I pursued from study hall to Miss Jimerson's room, through the office and auditorium and into the press room where I finally cornered her for an interview. Mary Beth likes popular music and novels. Her favorite authors are Nathan and Hudson. Reading and people make up Beth's hobbies, swimming and track her favorite sports. To whet Mary Beth's appetite serve her steaks without the onions. A good sense of humor is what Mary Beth first looks for in boys. She has enjoyed seeing the athletic teams built up during her years at G.C.S. Beth does not enjoy modern art because it holds no meaning for her. She is in favor of coeducational universities and is planning on attending one after she has graduated from G.C.S. Mary Beth is not completely an intellectual senior. She also has her embarrassing moments, one of the worst happening during Freshman week of this year when she slipped in the hall and sat down swiftly in front of what seemed like two junior high students. Mary Beth considers seeing Judith Anderson doing "Medea" her most interesting experience.

With the Senior play over, I found time to talk to Audrey Osborne just long enough to obtain a Senlor interview. Audrey likes

all kinds of music and her favorite song is "You're Breaking My Heart." Booth Tarkington and Ed­na Ferber are her favorite authors of the novel, which is the fic­tion she most likes. Although her favorite hobbies are reading and sewing, her favorite pastime is listening to the radio. The subject she liked best in school was biolo­gy. The long hours are what she considers the main trouble with our educational system. The wide choice of subjects is its main asset. Audrey is in favor of co-educa­tional colleges and believes they teach cooperation which is neces­sary in one's future. Audrey's fa­vorite sports are swimming and basketball. She most enjoyed see­ing the G.C.S. teams built up into championship teams while she has been here. Her most interesting experience was seeing her brother graduate from college. On top of the excitement of a college com­mencement, Carl Coleman played the organ. We hope Audrey's grad­uation from college will be just as wonderful and that her desire to become a doctor will become a reality

ON OUR LIBRARY SHELVESBy Mary Beth Vienna

I guess it was probably lack of anything else to do that made me wander around looking at the books on the library shelves. This sudden spurt of energy all took place on one of those hot days. In an effort to keep cool I pulled a cool sounding book off the shelves to read. "Arctic Mood" by Eva Alvey Richards certainly didn't disappoint me in this respect.

"Artic Mood" is an account of Mrs. Richard's experiences as a teacher and a nurse in an Eskimo village. In this book she has hon­estly described her life in the far North without either trying to make a heroine of herself or mak­ing the life seem an easy one. She has been successful in making a clear description of the Eskimo people, their way of life, their his­tory and their culture. With a woman's point of view she gives both the advantages and the dis­advantages of the Eskimo life.

Anyway, I thought you might be interested in knowing this book was in the library in case you ever need anything in the line of a biography for a book report. And oh, by the way, it's also a book that you might enjoy reading just for the fun of it.

Mt. Morris Proves Easy Victory For Blue Devils

In the second game of the season, Geneseo overwhelmingly defeated the Mt. Morris gridders 37 to 6. On the first play of the game, Sam Orlando recovered a Mt. Morris fumble but following that a Geneseo fumble was recovered by Mt. Morris. This proved to be in Geneseo's favor for on the next play Larry Hall nailed the ball carrier for a safety and two points. Another long march was sparked by Don Stewart and Mario DeBole, which was climaxed by Tom Costello's bullet pass to "Chink" Morrow in the end zone. Duggan kicked the extra point. Toward the end of the period Costello went through the middle of the line for another score but the try for the extra point failed. After Mt. Morris had set up a scoring opportunity by a 40 yard pass, AI Jenkins recovered a fumble, but G.C.S. fumbled on the next play and from there Mt. Morris went on to their only touchdown of the game.

At the beginning of the second half Deegan went over for a touchdown after a long downfield march. Duggan kicked the extra point. Then Duncan Bull blocked a punt deep in Mt.Morris territory and Morrow pounced on the bouncing ball in the end zone. Bob Templeton intercepted a pass and "Irish" Duggan split the goal posts for a perfect field goal. On a punt return, Mario DeBole went weaving and spinning like an eel through practically the whole Mt. Morris team for a 30 yard touchdown run. The kick was blocked to end the scoring.

Geneseo Continues Winning Streak With Allendale

In the fourth game of the season Geneseo continued its unde­feated string with a 32-0 victory over Allendale. The Allendale squad, out for revenge after last year's defeat at the hands of the Blue Devils, was, practically help less against the strong Geneseo team.

Don Stewart opened the scoring about midway through the first quarter when he broke away for a 55 yard TD run. After setting up a touchdown with a 20 yard run, Millecan scored but Gillan missed the extra point. A brillilmt goal line stand by Allendale held Geneseo from scoring at the beginning of the second period. However,

Geneseo Takes Opening Game By 39-0 Score

Scoring freely throughout all the game C.C.S. easily rolled over the Cuba eleven by the overwhelming score of 39-0.

On the second play of the game, Cuba fumbled and within one minute Don Stewart crashed over for what proved to be the winning. touchdown, with Duggan kicking. the extra point. Geneseo failed to score again in the first quarter despite Bill Deegan's thirty yard jaunt. After Larry Hall blocked a punt about half way through the second quarter, Bill Deegan plunged for a touchdown and Duggan added the point. Bull then intercepted a pass and went the distance of 15 yards for another tally. Duggan's kick was blocked. The half ended G.C.S. 20, Cuba 0.

Bill Deegan opened the second half by taking off for 35 yards. Tom Costello then bulleted a button-hook pass to "Chink" Morrow in the end zone who took it on his knees for another score. The extra point was a running play and it failed.

Bill Deegan went for twenty yards immediately after the fumble, and then "Butch" Millecan displayed a fine piece of broken field running, and galloped sixty yards for another touchdown. Duggan added the point. "Chink" Mor­row along with Dick McKeown recovered another Cuba fumble at the beginning of the last quarter. Don Stewart then set up the scoring play with a 20 yard run. Pete Bondi heaved a touchdown pass to Dick McKeown, and "Irish" Duggan missed the kick. Cuba fought its way down to the 15 yard line of the Blue Devils, but a team made up of mostly second and third string men held them from scoring. The game ended and the Geneseo eleven had won its home opener 39-0.

_____________________

DeBole scored from the 35 yard line after Stewart had set up the play with a 20 yard rum. Duggan kicked the extra point.

Allendale kicked off to open the second half, and Bill "Fleetfoot" Deegan, taking the ball on his own 15 yard line galloped 85 yards downfield to score. Duggan again kicked the extra point. Later, Duggan missed two field goal attempts. Playing his first game of the sea­son, after having been injured in practice, Renny Davis scored when he blocked a punt and fell on it in the end zone.

Geneseo Topples Canandaigua 58-0 In Night Opener

At the first night game of the season, the Geneseo Blue Devils easily rolled over the Canandaigua “B” team by the score of 58-0.

At the beginning of the first period, Millecan scored after long runs by Don Stewart and himself. The conversion attempt was unsuccessful. Several minutes later Deegan went for fifty yards on a line buck, and Millecan followed with a touchdown. Duggan kicked the extra point. In the second quar­ter, Stewart set up a scoring chance with a 25 yard run, and "Butch" Millecan scored again. Dan Gillan kicked the extra point. At the start of the second half, Bill Deegan made a brilliant 40 yard runback on the kickoff, but a Geneseo fumble was recovered by Canandaigua on the next play. Immediately following, however, Dunc Bull intercepted a forward pass-his second of the season­ and Millecan scored on the next play. Duggan failed to convert. Soon afterwards Stewart scored and Gillan kicked the point. Then "T" Costello passed to "Chink" Morrow for a touchdown and Gil­lan again converted. After setting up a scoring chance for himself with a 40 yard run, Ken Freese broke through the center of the line for Geneseo's seventh touchdown. The extra point try failed. To open up the fourth quarter, Bob Templeton scored from the 15 yard line. Jenkins missed the point. Af­ter intercepting a pass, Al Jenkins ran 15 yards to the Canandaigua 15 yard line and scored on the next play.

ATTICA TEAM HELD SCORLESS IN 18-0 TILT

In a hard fought, well played and low scoring game, Geneseo's hard hitting Blue Devils defeated a strong Attica team by a score of 18-0. On the kick off Millecan raced 70 yards for a touchdown but the conversion failed. During the rest of the half the contest was waged mainly around the midfield strip, neither team being able to drive deep into its opponent's territory. Ken Freese scored the second touchdown of the night when he went over from the 20 in the third quarter. Toward the end of the same quarter, Mario DeBole scored on a 20 yard Bunt return. At the close of the game a long downfteld march carried Attica deep into G.C.S. territory, but a brlliant goal line stand stopped the Attica attack on about the two yard line of Geneseo.

Geneseo Eleven Ends Second Year With No Defeats

The Geneseo Blue Devils have completed an immensely successful football season, overcoming easily all opposition and compiling huge scores while only being Scored upon once.

Around The. Halls Of G.C.S.

The purchase of one British bicycle failed to prevent the British dollar crisis. Audrey, Rosie and, Mary Beth involuntarily toured the U. of R. men's campus one Saturday, after the Williams-Rochester football game. Duncan, Jerry, Bill, and Ed had disappeared and what is more important, they thought the car had gone too.

Has a branch of the Reno Casino opened in KL-88-94?

For Rent: Good seats in the chemistry lab after school. Rush your order! Many season (64 hour) tickets have already been applied for!

Found: A method of spending evenings without resorting to do­ing homework. For information consult Peggy Marks or Dave Warner.

Nancy Bull went to the opening Aquinas football game as the guest of Susan Harvey. (Say, Dunc, weren't you included in that invitation?)

All old and careful Senior drivers are advised to be careful. By some error on the part of the Motor Vehicle Bureau several Juniors have obtained drivers' licenses!

We knew Butch couldn't leave us for long. He's back, and girls, he's still free!

High School Etiquette

Never come to school without gum.

Boys should never allow girls to precede them out of a class. It just isn't being done.

Always greet the teacher with, "Hi, there old kid."

Ignore what a teacher is saying in class. After all he draws a salary for talking.

Never write down an assignment. Someone else is sure to remember it.

Keep notes flying to all friends who are out of yelling distance.

Never bring a pencil or pen to class; the teacher is sure to have an extra one.

Always stop at the drinking fountain between classes; the periods are altogether too long.

Avoid bringing back report cards as long as possible. Mr. Jenkins enjoys reading names over station AOJ.

When a teacher asks a question always say, "Huh, what d'jo say?" . and when the question is repeated always say "I know but I just can't explain it."

Always slam your books shut and prepare to leave class at least five minutes before the bell rings.

Don't bother ever to buy paper. Other people enjoy buying it for you.

"The Inner Willy"

Reviewed by Eleanor Veeder

On Thursday and, Friday, November 3rd and 4th, the Senior class of Geneseo Central produced "The Inner Willy," a story of the readjustment of a "yes, ma'am" type of boy to an individual in his own right.

The main part, Willoughby, was ably dramatized by Bill Wilcox with his inner self acted by Jerome Hanlon. All of the action took place in the living room of Willy's home. Poor Willy had three old maid aunts who had petted and babied him since childhood. They required him to down cod liver oil daily, which he heartily detested but didn't dare object to. When the Graduation Ball arrived, they arranged for him to take Marybelle, "a sensible and proper child and not a bit giddy." Meanwhile, his inner self had arrived to help Willy assert himself. In the process he found that he had invited three girls to the dance with him and all had accepted. This complicated matters until he could get Stanley and Mike to take two of the girls while he took Carol, Stanley's former "steady."

All through the play Jerome Hanlon did excellently in playing the part of the pesky spirit. Rosie, Coleen and Mary Beth played the aunts' parts very well, but it was Willy who stood out most and held the play together. It was under extreme difficulties that this play was presented and we must give Miss Jimerson a hearty hand for the trying yet rewarding job she accomplished. Bob Carey was formerly cast in the part of Inner Willy but was unable to play it so Jerome Hanlon filled the part with a week and a half of rehearsals. Also some of the members of the cast got sick at the last minute and other mishaps aided in making it a difficult undertaking, but they succeeded in their efforts and the play was a great success.

NOTES FROM THE MUSIC DEPARTMENT

By Miles Doolittle

The central school orchestra un­er the direction of Mrs. Milliman has added several new instruments to its group this year, greatly enlarging its size and ability. New musical compositions have been introduced in the hope of pleasing everyone. At present the orchestra is diligently at work preparing for an assembly program to be presented in the near future.

The past summer saw the creation of a community orchestra under the direction of Mrs. Milliman. This group consists of several school musicians and some adults from the surrounding villages. The orchestra meets every Monday evening at 7:00 in the school auditorium. Any musical instrument player, young or old, is most Cordially invited to join this group.

Under the direction of Mr. Castle the G.C.S. band opened its summer parade series early in the summer in Caledonia. This parade was followed by numerous victories throughout the county.

The successful climax came when the G.C.S. band journeyed to the East Rochester Area Firemen's Convention to take first prize over strong competition. The parade season ended with the victory at Hemlock.

With new plastic folders, clean uniforms, and many new players, the band put on an excellent performance at the Geneseo-Canandaigua football game. A star was formed first, breaking into a cross, then a heart, a G and a C, and then an impressive march off of the field constituted the program with appropriate music to match each formation.

The G.C.S. band was given the honor of playing for the annual area teacher's convention held at the Palace Theater in Rochester in. October. The performance was enthusiastically received by the hundreds of teachers who attended.

Inter-high Queen

Caledonia's contestant took the title of Music Queen at the Inter­high Ball held in Geneseo Central School, on Friday, November U. This ball was sponsored by the bands of the schools in the county. The dance drew a larger crowd than is usual for a dance in the high school gym.

Janet Britton, Geneseo's contestant, who wore a green formal dress, was picked by the students of Geneseo Central to represent them at this dance.
