Completing the Language division is Miss Gizella Hummer CAI- banyj, who devotes a great deal of her time to the promotion of high school dramatic enterprises. This year the Home Economics Department was quite a handful for its director, Miss Geraldine Martin fCornellj, for she was forced to contend with problems such as shortages and the rationing of many necessary materials. ln addition to her Miss lrlarriet Plume tl'otsdamj more than capably carries on the difficult Music Department and manages to keep the school musicians tuned up.

Going on into the office, we come upon Miss Dorothea Hanser fBuffaloj and Miss Helen Bern- ard tAlbany J, both of whom are constantly employ- ed in keeping school records up to date. Leaving the high school, we pause for a mo- ment at the Wloodward Memorial Library, a build- ing for which all Le Royans are proud and grateful. Here we find Librarian Miss Aleatha Burton tGen- eseoj, who, assisted by Miss Mary Mairs tAlbany, Geneseoj and Mrs. Duane E. Taylor tGeneseoj, manages to keep this institution in the exemplary running order in which it is always found. ln Le Roy High School's sister institution, the Wlolcott Street School, we find the following teach- ers, many of whom aided the present graduating class along its educational highway: Horace B.

Battalion Commanding Officers This year has been an unusual one as far as the work of the teachers is concerned because of the fact that the high school has become an agency for many activities not connected in any way with education. The members of our faculty have found themselves engaged in many extra-curricular ac- tivities requiring a great deal of their time and energy, Gasoline, sugar, canned goods and many other items have been rationed through the school during the course of the last two semesters. Then, too, there has been the change from a normal educational program to that of a wartime schedule. VTVVXV CYocational Training for Wlar Production XVorkersJ, the Victory Corps program and many other wartime activities have added as- toundingly to the responsibilities of our teaching staff. Despite the fact that this almost impossible load has been added to its customary duties. the Le Roy faculty has maintained the high standards for which Le Roy teachers are widely known. To give a true picture of the faculty would be an extremely difficult task under any circumstances, and in the space allotted here it is an impossibility. XYe shall attempt. therefore, tof present only a thumbnail sketch of the teachers of Le Roy. Probably the section of the high school which is most generally known among the high school students is the English Department. There we hnd the dean of instructors, Mrs. Ivy M. Balmer fOhio XYesleyanj, who is known to and beloved bv all who have passed through Le Roy High School for many years. Here also we hnd Mr. Glyndon Cole COhio XX'esleyan, Syracusej, who devoted much of his -.

Military Regulations Committee The Student Council began the school year of '42 and '45 with vim and vigor! -lohn Stone, very much the people's choice, led the Council through hrst semester activities with the adept help ot Vice President Fred Sturm. To record meetings and manage correspondence Nancy Mearig was elected secretary. The hrst duty of the Council was the annual election ot cheerleaders, a hectic experience because of the large and talented group of candidates, This year more emphasis has been placed on the several committees appointed to direct certain school activities under the supervision of the Coun- cil. These are the Assembly, the Athletic, the Pub- lications, the Point and the School Relations com- mittees. The duty of the Assembly Committee is to plan a schedule of varied and interesting pro- grams for the weekly student assemblies. The Athletic Committee, in cooperation with the gym teachers, directs intra-school athletics. The Pub- lications Committee has general supervision over the school paper and yearbook. The duty ot the Point Committee is to award letters to students who are outstanding not only in leadership and scholar- ship but also in athletics and other extra-curricular activities. The members of the School Relations Committee have charge of ushering at basketball games and are constantly on call to show guests through the school. The Council went all out to aid in the Victory program. The war stamp drive, which sold nearly two hundred dollars' worth ot stamps weekly, and a clothing drive were under its management. A semi-formal New Year's Eve dance, teatur- ing the Star Dusters, was sponsored by the Council in cooperation with the Rotary Club. begun when the Hardly had the new year Council received the astonishing news that it was to lose its very capable president to the Navy. Al- though regrettul at seeing him duly proud of him. XYith the new semester, Fred Sturm moved into the vacated presidency and James Davis was elected succeeding vice president. -lean Luttrell was chosen secretary for the remainder of the year. Looking back over the year. the Council is jus- tilied in feeling that it has had a successful reign.
