George C. Marshall High School/Ankara High School Yearbooks
58 Yearbooks Online
Wray Woolley, Shiela Weaver (Kenney)
|
Wray Woolley 66 got the ball rolling by donating space on his server to host an Ankara High School Yearbooks web site. Shiela
Weaver 67, created and designed e-Citadel.com, and started uploading files to Wray's server in 2005.
In February 2011, the site moved to a new server that can accomodate its large size.
The goal during this six year anniversary was to finish the remaining yearbooks, 2006 to 2010.
On April 9, 2011, Citadel 2006 was uploaded to e-Citadel, completing the 58-book collection. This is an accomplishment unparalleled by any alumni group. |
Shiela has designed a format that allows you to view the yearbooks with ease. She also helps you remember the favorite tunes of the time and provides historical trivia.
Shiela's LORE section provides information on the school's history, maps of Anatolia and the Normandy Invasion, copies of the school newspaper, Prom Invitation, plus much more. This is a fun site to visit no matter what year you graduated.

"AYYILDIZ" (moon star, a play on the star &
crescent)
The original yearbook for the high school in Ankara.
|
1953 - completed 7/10/05
Our very first Ankara High School yearbook! Only 47 pages including the
Epilogue, the Ayyildiz answers more questions we have had about
the history of our school. It highlights a History of Ankara, discusses
the History of the School, and recalls the events of the year with a Class
History! You'll notice even the Class Trip is described and accompanied
by pictures. Thanks to Janet Day (Rouvales) 55 for loaning her book.
1954 - completed 7/12/05The second Ankara High School
yearbook completes our '53-'54 set, and managed to have exactly 54 pages.
The Class Trip to Bursa is described and accompanied by pictures. A special
treat was reading the Junior-Senior Class Prophecy this year, written
by Martians! Thanks to Janet Day (Rouvales) 55 for loaning her book.
"TURKISH TOWEL"
This yearbook replaced Ayyildiz. It was
published between 1955 to 1957.
|
1955 - completed 6/19/05
When this yearbook was published on e-Citadel we discovered that the yearbooks
had another name, the Turkish Towel. This is also another exciting
book since this year marks its 50th birthday. Each Senior had a full page
of their own and there are many collages of candids. The fifties had some
distinctive fashion features and this e-dition features many styles of
shoes. Thanks to Liz Marshall (Moore) 55 who photocopied her entire yearbook
onto cardstock.
 |
1956 -completed 7/4/06
This was one of the most difficult yearbooks to find, but the fifties
are finally complete. A big thanks to Dennis Funchess for his contribution.
Class year photos, Who's Who and Student Life are just a few of
the sections. With advertisements, this book is 94 pages of fun.
|
1957 - completed
2/4/06
A short history
of the school beginning with the arrival of the first American families
in 1949 is available in this yearbook. There are so many interesting
features in this yearbook, be prepared for some extra links. Dedicated
to "the people who are so bravely and valiantly fighting and
giving their lives for the cause of freedom ... ," it is as fresh
and timely today as it was when first issued. |
 |
"VAPOR TRAILS"
A"regional" yearbook published by "the students
of the senior high schools of the United States Air Forces."
It included schools in Libya, Morocco, England, France, Turkey
and Germany. Vapor Trails was published between 1958
and 1962.
|
1958 - completed 3/20/2005
Scanned by Chris White 60, this yearbook offers a bit of history. As some
alumni may not know, before there was the Citadel, there was
Vapor Trails! It was the yearbook published for all the American
high schools in the region before our school was able to publish its own
yearbook. The new school at Maltepe, "The Purple Pit" chose
its colors and athletic team name, Trojans. (Page 15)
1959 - completed 8/18/05
The school was seeing many improvements this year - new lockers, new gym,
new cafeteria, new typewriters, clocks, a fence for the playground. A
history not only of the school but for each class - the yearbook staff
provided more lore for us to explore!
1960 - completed 3/27/05
Complete yearbook!!!
This yearbook continues the Vapor Trails legacy.
1961 - completed 6/25/2005
Beth Miller '61 (now Beth Collier) supplied the
pages to her 61 Vapor Trails to scan - it was literally just
the pages and she had to work some magic to find another copy of one of
them, as well. As part of the AAEA Vapor Trails, the Ankara section is
about 50 pages. There's a nice picture of Ankara by night. The theme is
"Eski ve Yeni" (Old and New) and there are some good drawings
to separate the sections.
1962 -completed 10/2/05
Senior pictures were first with a fun feature if you use Netscape or Firefox
as your browser. But the whole yearbook is now available with a link to
The Year In History and movie facts. Many thanks to Steve Reich 62, Alexandra
Alessandros (Turkington) 62, Holly Jackson 62 and Anita Donohoe 66.

LORE
Chris Buckeye (Goss) 67 was the catalyst for the LORE section on e-Citadel.
When attending a micro mini in Los Angeles in June 2005, she brought

ring instruction booklet, a prom dance card and map of Ankara, circa
1966. |

- completed 4/9/05
Complete yearbook!!!
Julie Alpert (Wood) 73 and Anita Donohoe 66 met for the first time
on April 1 for their own "micro-mini." The occasion
allowed Julie to loan her 1971 yearbook to Anita to scan for e-Citadel.
Like many of the yearbooks, the history of the school is witnessed
by who published the yearbook and under what conditions. This Citadel
is no exception. Shiela Weaver continues to add her personal touch
to this e-dition by giving you the history behind its publication
with personal commentary by those involved. Be sure to visit e-Citadel.com
for "the rest of the story." |

1973 - completed 5/30/05
Complete yearbook!!!
It appears you can always find a story concerning a Citadel yearbook and
this one is no exception. Brian Heyboer '74 did a great job of scanning
this yearbook but was concerned about the quality since it was printed
in Ankara on non-glossy paper. There are some printing defects including
heads missing in some shots. You can find extra candid shots at the end
of the Seniors section as well as at the end of the book. Commencement
Program included.
1973 Stables - completed 7/20/05
This special edition yearbook was created for the
1973 class of the Ankara Hunt and Saddle Club. Mike Neff 76 was kind enough
to provide his copy for scanning. Besides pictures, there is a history
of the Club and a story about the Riding Master, Woca. This is another
triumph in re-creating the history of our school.
1974 - completed 4/30/05
Loaned by Eda Haynes '74, Anita Donohoe's excellent scans of the 1974
Citadel really brings out the charm of this book. Once again, very different
and interesting. Watch out for those cool new artistic techniques. Don't
miss the added extras at the "back" of the book.

1976 Citadel
- completed 3/12/06
This poor yearbook went through some hard times going
digital - sitting in the rain when it got to Shiela and needed to
be salvaged for scanning. But worth the effort. Covering all the
special events of the year, such as the fear there would not be
a school, a three-evening extravanza put on by the Drama students
called "Nineties Nights," the many trips of the Humanities
class and Host Nations Club, the Trojan teams, and lots of candid
photos, the book runs the gamut. Great photos of Turkish life are
included, as well as the Senior Will and the fundraising events
leading up to Homecoming. |
1977 Citadel - completed
7/13/06
The first contribution from AHS faculty, Patricia Ülkü
and Ron Tickfer. The school year saw both the men's and women's
teams taking the ASTL championship, and don't miss Wallyball - about
30 pages of sports. Homecoming, the Winter Sports Banquet, and a
large Who's Who section will bring back those school days. Don't
miss the Year in History, the Top Grossing Films and the Top Ten
Songs - enjoy! |

1978 Citadel - completed 10/19/05
Our second soft-cover Citadel, this yearbook has over
150 pages of candid photos! Beginning with a section of pictures
of Turkey with scenes most of us will remember. There's also an
entire section on the Ankara Hunt & Saddle Club. The school
newspaper, sponsored by Mr. Tarpley, was called the Trojan Troubadour.

The yearbook was dedicated to and in memory of Michelle Lamb (1962-1978). |
1979 Citadel
- completed 2/10/06
The third soft-cover yearbook in the e-Citadel collection begins
with several pages of views of Turkey and a message from Principal
Gundacker. With a small enrollment that year (graduating class of
18), the faculty was similarly small in number, with only seven
teachers! But as always, they covered every important subject area.
Great candid superlatives are in the Who's Who section, and a
lot of shots of the class play, 'Blithe Spirit' by Noel Coward. |

A Work of Art
A small Senior class of 7 students allowed the yearbook staff to devote a great deal of space and attention to this year's graduating class. Of particular interest was marrying the faces of students to famous works of art.

The 2008 Citadel
Fun and Games
Editor, Casey Miller, a Junior, confessed that choosing a theme for this yearbook was a struggle until "inspiration struck." The Game of Life with its univeral theme of "fun and games" caught their attention.
