LUTTRELL Secretary to MI.. Gaffney MRS. GRACE M. MC IIURNIGY Acting Clerk of the Board of Education Sl 'mm Y to Mr- Hon' The interest in typing of LHS boys and girls stems from a desire to obtain clerical positions in civilian or military life or to help in doing col- lege work. Students who plan to enter the field of business also take Introduction to Business, Shorthand l Sz 2, Bookkeeping, Business Law, and Business Math. Some of our Senior girls are engaged in part-time secretarial work, and we are confident that there will be local positions for those prepared. Despite the fact that the music department has been, more or less pushed into the background due to the building program, it still has managed to do its share in entertainment for the school and the public. Under the direction of Mr. VVilliam Lane, a music appreciation class has been started for those who show a keen interest in music development and teclmique. The purpose of all the fields in the music department is to acquaint the students with the best music literature and to promote good public relations. Le Roy Central School Page 15

The fact that such activity cannot be separated from mental activity gives us the term 'tpsychomotor development . Here at Le Roy Central School, we have a pro- gram of activities that demands physical strength, social poise, grace, skill. and endurance. XYe might say in closing that Physical Education is more easily understood if one thinks of it as a subdivision of education which deals primarily with large mus- cles and large muscle groups. Frequently, we of the Social Studies Depart- ment hear this question, XVhy teach history F There are many reasons. Page 14 ln l776 some courageous men took an unprece- dented, bold step in declaring their independence from another country. These men-and others like them fought for the freedom, justice, good life and the great country which we have now. Today, when there is so much danger of Com- munism we must defend our Democracy. l-low can we defend Democracy if we do not know what it really is? To teach students the democratic way of life is a very important objective of this course. XYe know that many of the isolated facts of his- tory will soon fade from one's memory. However, it is our hope that certain attitudes and ideals, which have been fundamental in our society, will remain. These ideals are pride in our homes. comnmnity and nation: the belief in a good life, freedom, just- ice and equality. XN'e have the responsibility of being an informed citizenry and of takng part in community and national affairs. The 1951 O-at-kan of
