Editors Louis Crocker, Business Manager VOLUME XXIV LeRoy Central Sclzoolf, LeRoy, .New York FOREWORD 4 The 1952 O-AT-KAN of LeRoy Centra Schoo FOREWORD Graduation marks for the Class of '52, the completion of a long-desired objective, the end of a period devoted to the attainment of skills and knowledge with which we have equipped ourselves for use in the years ahead. Graduation also marks the beginning of our larger contri- butions to the community in which we live and from which we have drawn our sustinence. Henceforth, we hope to give more in proportion as we receive. Vtfith this thought in mind, we have prepared this book for the purpose, not only of portraying our school days, but also of recognizing the part that Le Roy has played in contributing to our success and happiness. That we may have a record of our lives as studentsg that we may show how our lives have been inextricably bound with the community of Le Royg that we may show how the school prepares us to become worthwhile members of that communityg that we may show how each activity, each business, each industry, each professional man, each individual contributes to the welfare of our villageg these are the purposes of this book.

Each of us knows intimately every storey each of us has crossed the bridge countless times as we wend our way to and from schoolg each of us can recall a pleasant or unhappy event which took place on these very pavements. Le Roy is a part of us, so closely bound to our daily lives that all too often we neglect to appraise its real worth in our existence. We have lived here lovingly protectedg here' we have suffered the joys and tortures of growing up. VVe were educated in Le Roy, our parents are a part of it, our best friends live in its pleasant homes. The great majority of the experiences which we are storing up in our memories took place in this village. Many of us will find employment here and become contributing members of the communityg those of us who will leave will cling to it with our memories. VVith these thoughts in mind we dedicate this, the 1952 O-AT-KAN, to the community of LeRoy. W'e dedicate it in gratitude for what Le Roy has given us, with pride in what it has accomplished, with admiration for its beauty and with fond affection for its citizens. 6 The 1952 O-AT-KAN of LeRoy Central Schoo ' IN SPECIAL RECOGNITION MR. LAPP VVe would be ungrateful indeed if we did not extend special recognition to Mr. Lapp for the 18 years of service which he has given to this school through his Work as a member of the Board of Education. MR. PRICE Mr. Price, our senior adviser, has guided us well and faithfully past the pitfalls which line the path of the seniors. His store of knowledge, his willingness to help us, his ready wit have all helped to make our senior year so enjoyable. i MR. FRANK Mr. Frank represents to us the in- terest of the small-business man in our education. For making his Dinette a place where we like to congregate and for his annual treat for the football team, we cordially thank him. DENNIS FANNING The G-AT-KAN this year has chosen to honor a senior who, they believe, ex- emplifies good school citizenship. As class president for the past two years and in many other activities Denny has demonstrated qualities of leadership that ensure continued success. e 1952 O-AT-KAN of LeRoy Central Schools f 'x f' 'x f' 'x f' 'x f' 'N f' N f ,wa M QNQ :W .wa ma JYL Administration H .... derive their just powers from the consent of the governed. It would be difficult to find a better illustration of democracy in action than that given by the chart on the right. From the citizens of Le Roy, those governed, is derived the right of the various people and groups to formulate the policies by which both the community and the school will function. A further look will serve to convince the reader that this school and this community are not two separate interests but that each is a part of the other and that each exists for the other. The community provides and sustains the school. Able men to administer the school, conscientious and devoted faculty mem- bers, our fine new buildings, the materials with which the school system is operated, transportation to outlying areas-all these and countless other things does the community provide. But most important, it provides the desire to have its youth educated and given every opportunity for future success. The school in turn provides the type of educated, trained citizen who will prove an asset to Le Roy and who, having assimi- lated the democratic traditions found here, will in later years take his place as a leader and productive member of our community. x f 'x f' 'N f' 'x f' 'x f' 'x f' M :AQ QQ .M :M M ,Na I s Cl'fl2El76' of Zflze Village of LeRoy H1 . v , , 0 Boarolof Ezlucatfon l lwllage 504ml X X X X Principal of Principal of Publlc o C! k lol?

O'Shea, Clarence Lapp, Ralph Wf Jenner, Lester A. Pridgeon The finest illustration of community interest in its schools lies in the Board of Education. This organization is composed of citizens of the community who, through knowledge of the value of education and a desire to serve the youth of the community, volunteer their services with no payment other than the immense satisfaction that comes with serving their fellow men. The job of a board member is a difficult one, an exacting one, a responsible one, and a time- consuming one. Yet month after month these men faithfully meet to discharge the duties imposed on them by their fellow townsmen. to set the broad policies of the school and to handle the large sums of money necessary for good public education. Gui' lovely, functional school building serves as a testimony to their ability and their zeal. These men are truly representative of the people for they are chosen in a free election by the vote of their peers. They are the men whom the community chooses to oversee the education of its youth and provide them with the means of obtaining that education. The staff of the 0-At-Kan would like to extend its welcome to Mr. Howard Symonds tbelowj who joins the board for the Hrst time this year, and at the same time to express its sorrow at the departure of Grover VV. Lapp topposite pagel. Mr. Lapp has terminated 18 years of faithful service and deserves the heart- felt thanks of both the community and the school.

WVhen the history of the United States is finally written, the true greatness of this nation will be recognized not in the size of our air- planes, the speed of our rockets, nor in the power of our atomic bombs: but, rather in the magnificence of our public schools. Never before in the history of mankind have a people been willing to invest so much of its time and wealth in the training of its youth as have the people of the United States and especially the citizens of New York State. It is particularly iitting therefore, that this O-AT-KAN is dedicated to the communities of the Le Roy Central Schools, for it is out of these communities that our school gains both its sup- port and its inspiration. The Le Roy Central Schools represent the highest ideals of the citi- zens of the towns it represents, and expresses through its children its finest aspirations for the future of this community, state, and nation. Year by year as each succeeding Senior Class leaves the school as graduates to take their place in society, upon them falls a part of the re- sponsibility ot repaying the community by their becoming enthusiastic supporters of free educa- tion in a free America. MR. GAITFNEH' e 1952 O-AT-KAN of LeRoy Central Schools 11 THE PRINCIPALS OF THE SCHOOLS Congratulations to you, members of the Class of 1952, for achieving a goal which is a milestone in your career, graduation from high school. Very soon some of you will be taking your places in community life and community affairs. Others may go on for further formal schooling and will take their places in the community a little later. Regardless of the group to which you belong, your yearbook, with its well chosen theme, will certainly add to your knowledge of Le Roy and your under- standing and appreciation of community life. MR. HORR Growth is the keynote of the VVolcott Street School. During the year five new rooms and an enlarged kindergarten were completed. The growing facilities include new shower rooms, a new stage, better lighting, a public address system, and other improvements. 7 In the past live years the school population has grown from approximately 450 students to approximately 800 students, which is an indication of a growing community. To guide the welfare of these children the faculty has grown to twenty-nine members. Most important is the development of the future citizens of the community. The whole community is their school. Le Roy's most important resource fits childrenj is first shaped by the home and neighborhood. Later, when the child enters school he is molded by new ones-his teachers and his fellow students. All of these forces -- home, school, and community -- working together determine how the growing person will finally develop. MR. MYERS DONALD E. HORR: Principal of High School.

From the time when we first leave the warm security of home for the first frightening day in kindergarten until we sadly close the doors of high school behind us for the last time, we are working for self-betterment so that we may benefit all mankind. In these classrooms are molded the Le Royans of the future. Here are the future mayors and board members. Here are indus- trial leaders, laborers and salesmen. That smiling girl on page twenty three will one day administer to the sick of the village, that solemn-faced boy on page twenty-seven is dreaming dreams of that new bridge across the O-at-ka which he will help build in the future. His neighbors will, in not many years, be selling candy to the owner of a nose pressed flat against a show case as his was just this noon. O fi OX xl IX fl OX fl IX X x f 'x f' 'x .2NfL .DNKQ LNKQ .'

Mungefrimln, Rogers, lillsst-ll Seventh Grade Last fall we began our high school career, a career which we feel will carry us to new heights :md which will set new records in the history of l.eRoy. XYe all felt a little bit lost when we first entered this beautiful building, but with the guidance of the upperclassmen and the kind understanding of the teachers we soon became accustomed to our new home away from home. Before long we had settled into the routine and had taken our first steps as junior high students. Among the first of our official duties was the election of class ofhcers. The following people were chosen: Roger Rogers, presidentg JoAnn Mangefrida. vice-presidentg Lorraine Russell, secretary-treasurer. Because we were now to be governed by the Student Council. we also chose representatives to that organization. Qur repre- sentatives were Polly Mills. representative-ab large, Fred Mangefrida. representing room 208, Allen Cohen. representing room 102 and Douglas Scott from room 112. The work of these people helped to make our start such a successful one. r lst Row: D. Scott, W. Lytlu, J. Bossurt, J. l'll'llllli, J. Antiuore, L. Clark, G. Miller, P. Cari-ull. W. Kinslcy.

XV e chose Mr. Fitch's room and, much to our delight, won first prize. Thus we had been most successful in our first school competition. NN e feel that this is a good indication of the future success whith we are going to enjoy. Among the less pleasant events of our iirst year were our mid-term examinations, taken as the high school students take theirs. However, we had no serious casualties and our First big obstacle had been hnrdled. The second semester brought with it a new slate of oHicers to relieve those who had worked so hard for us the first term. This time Russell O'Geen and Sandra Baker were elected president and vice-president respectively, and Lorraine Russell was re-elected secretary-treasurer. Betty O'Geen was chosen to represent room 106 in Student Council and Phyllis Wfilcox, to represent room 112. Allen Cohen was given a second term by the students in room 107. Roger Rogers, AND THEY LOVE IT past president, was elected representative-ab large. One of the major social events of the season was a junior high skating party at Silver Lake. This was a valuable activity for it offered a chance for all the seventh grade to know each other better as well as the opportunity to meet members of the eighth grade. VVe also had the opportunity to meet members of the faculty on a social level, although it seemed that some of them who had never skated before were constant- ly level with the floor. lVe also began to make ourselves felt in the musical organizations when many members began instrumental lessons and seven girls began to work hard at twirling so that they might become majorettes. Six seventh-graders made the junior high cheerleading squad and were instrumental in cheering their teams on to victory in intramural sports. VVe sincerely hope that our next five years will be as enjoyable and as worthwhile as this year has been. l lst Row: B. Pangmzio, M. Mastin, N. Bradbury, P. Pauepento, K.' Hutchinson, S. Kernntt, al.

The 1952 O-AT-KAN of Le Roy Central Schools This is our second year in L. C. S., the year after The Great Remodeling, and we really feel at home now. VVe understand the school's rules better, and though we are not always per- fect, we obey them to the best of our ability and are proud of our record. VVe are taking an active part in school sports now, and we have our own eighth grade cheer leaders who spur the boys on to victory in the Intramurals. The eighth graders, both boys and girls, also play basketball, volleyball. and other sports in the gym during the noon hour. The eighth grade has some budding romances and we enjoy the dances very much, and cannot wait until next year when we will be able to sponsor a dance of our own. This year the Red Key Society enlarged and formed a Service Club of which many eighth graders are members. During the first week of Spring, Mr. Lane, our chorus director, and all the choruses of EIGHTH GRADE L. C. S. presented a Festival of Folk Music, and the eighth grade chorus sang a few nice American folk songs as our contribution. The Festival was a complete success. Miss DeVoe's Home Economics Classes of the eighth grade made Scrapbooks, rag dolls, and other toys, and sent them to the Edith Hartwell Cerebral Palsey Clinic for children here in Le Roy. To all intents and purposes, the eighth grade has had a most successful year, largely due to the eliorts of that wonderful group of people, our teachers.

The 1952 O-AT-KAN of LeRoy Central Schools 35 SPROUTING WINGS Freshman Class This class of '55 really got off to a line start this year when our friends from St. Peters arrived to complete our team. Right away we got together and chose as captain, Charles Panepento to call our plays, Barbara Porter as co-captain, Beverly Passmore as Hassistant manager to take down notes and records from the various jokes and comments, and Sonja Bradbury, as manager , of the funds. Wfe freshmen exemplified our activity and shouldered our part in high school when so many of our teammates made the I-V's in football and made such a success of themselves. Among our stalwarts were Robert Fanning, Phil Trudel, Donald Miller, Daniel Miller, Dick Clark, Rosy Panepento, Passmore, Porter, Bradbury Ferarra, Charles Panepento, Anthony Pasquale and others. Wife really swelled up with pride, even if it was cold for the girls sitting on the bleachers. Then along came basketball and here again our fellows excelled. Lacrosse also found a few of the braver males of our class out there in the midst of it. lst Huw: C. Svheffer, R. Steffenella, S. Mancuso, M. Argnnn, B. Regone, P. Durney, E. Huichinson, V.

The girls were Lucille Vinci, Jean Ewart. and Veronica Corcimiglia. In the meantime the rest of the teammates weren't sleeping, but did very well selling candy, popcorn and pop at our stand. besides cheering our teams on. If you'll remember, the Frosh girls were right on the beam this year, also. They bowled. and played basketball, tennis, soccer and other sports. Many at'ended the GAA dinners and a few received honors. Our team was also very pleased to have so many of our members in chorus, senior band. and on the Red and Black staff. Many of our team mates were also members of the Service Clubg as well as Student Council. Our highlight of the year was the Frosh Dance with the theme Dancing in the Rain. A busy committee under Daniel Miller, decorated the gym with umbrellas, balloons and rainbow- colored crepe paper, which gave the gym a lively effect. We hope that everyone enjoyed the dancing to the music of the EX-Checks and the NOW WE HAVE OFFICERS entertainment, even if the floor was a little crowded. This year we have been very busy, adjusting our schedules for the rest of our high school years and have industriously tried to lay a good foundation for our class throughout high school. Many of us have found through our guidance classes that we are interested in many things that we never thought possible. Several of us have visited places which are of interest to us because of our future plans. Xlfe also wish to say that we know this wonderful new school is essentially ours and that we will do our best to watch over and keep the property in the best possible condition for the next three years. VVe have referred to our class as the Team and we wish to express our heartfelt thanks to our coaches , Mr. Barone and Mr. Letko for their aid as class advisers. No doubt you will see us around again next year, trying to live up to our school's motto which is HS61'l'Zf761' Nofra. Optilzzauw-always our best. W'e'll do it too. lst Row: P. Blood, J. Ewart, M.

The 1952 O-AT-KAN of Le Roy Central Schools 37 APPROACHING OUR' GOAL Sophomore Class VVe were greenhorns when we first started the climb up the ladder to our goal of '54, but we followed the rest and picked Joyce Brimmer and Bob Morris to guide us the hrst half of the year and Dan Keenan and Larry Scinta the re- mainder of the year. Mrs. Russell and Mr. Fitch, our advisers, helped us find our way into the school functions. In the eighth grade we were a step further towards our goal. Wfe started off by electing Peggy Mancuso president and Bob Morris vice- president. Wle began the fun with a big Christ- mas party with decorations. Wlith our vigorous efforts we even had old Santa and his reindeer Seated: Brimmer, Castro, Crocker, Smith. flying through our homeroom, but all our efforts failed to bring home the honors. The junior high basketball team finished the season with Flying colors. Besides having athletes in our class we also have talent. Grace Ann Symonds won first prize on her essay on fire prevention sponsored by the Le Roy businessmen. 1st Row: J. Roth, C. Walters, M. Pangruzio, F. Rindge, S. Hutchinson, E. Yachett, G. A.

Under the careful guidance and p'annig of our advisers. Mr. Letko and Mr. Barone. our class dance was a big success. Using St. Patrick's Day our theme, our decorating committee did a swell job of brightening up our old gym. lf it weren't for us there wouldn't have been a IV. squad because we had eight boys representing our class on the basketball team and eleven on the football team. The girls were equally active in sports. Some of the girls got so professional that they were chosen to represent our school at several play- days. XVe can be proud that we have some musicians in senior band and choruses. XVon't that picnic we had in our freshman year be a memory log remembered by those that attended? VVith everything against us, including the weather, we became discouraged, but with Mr. Letko's guiding hand we had a wonderful time on our excursion to Conesus Lake. As sophomores, we are approaching the top of the ladder toward our goal. VVe elected Judd GOOD SCHOOL CITIZENS Crocker president and Sidney Smith vice-presi- dent. Wlith Miss DeVoels and Mr. Babcock's patient guidance, our sophomore dance was a great financial success, because it was one of the first dances held in our new gym. The dance followed the theme of Valentinefs Day. X'Ve are also proud to say that Ed Englerth, -lohn Eppoli- to, Romey Lachnicht, Ray Leach and Bob Grant are on the Varsity football squad and john Eppolito is the only one on the basketball team. To cheer the j.V.'s on to victory this year are Betty Yachett, Elinora Mogavero, and Virginia DeGraw. A group of twelve girls from the class gave an example of our speaking ability at the Sophomore Speaking Contest held on March 28th. Grace Ann Symonds took 'nrst place, foliowed by Madonna Mc Burney and Elinora Mogavero. We, the class of '54. wish to thank our advisers who have done such a wonderful job in guiding us through these four high school years and we are looking forward to our two remaining years whi:h will bring new friends and opportunities. lst Row: M.

The 1952 O-AT-KAN of LeRoy Central Schools 39 TOMORROWS SENIORS Junior Class Five years ago we entered Le Roy High School as seventh-graders under the guidance of Mrs. Russell, Miss Rush, and Mr. Cope. Wle made quite a showing by presenting several plays, one in assembly. Wfe did the same in eighth grade, and our eighth grade chorus took part in the Spring Concert for the first time. VVe had many members on the line junior high basketball team. Une of our homerooms won the prize for the best junior high Christmas decorations, and under the leadership of Mr. Henderson and Mr. Frederick we held an eighth grade dance and invited the eighth graders from St. Peter's School. Trumbore, Baglio, Mooney, Kunego. Gui' first year of high school was carried off excellently with Miss Uphill and Mr. Letko as our advisers.

Four mem- bers of the Varsity football team were sopho- mores, and we filled most of the J. V. cheerlead- ing jobs. Our Sophomore Dance, with the theme of the Mardi Gras, was full ot fun with both round and square dancing. Eleven girls entered the animal Sophomore Speaking Con- test, one of the activities belonging to Sophomores alone. Our advisors were Mrs. Xkfilliamee and Mr. Babcock. This year, as juniors, we have had one ot our best years. Our Junior Hoedown at Hal- loween time was the first dance of the year, and our traditional -lunior Prom in May was well attended. XV e shared the checkroom with the seniors at basketball games, and one of our READY TO ASSUME LEADERSHIP projects was making numerical order telephone books for public sale. As lor our participation in sports, we claimed many members of the foot- ball team and four members of the First string Varsity basketball team, along with other mem- bers on the rest of the team. Our speaking ability was shown when several of our members entered the Larkin Speaking Contest. W'e owe many thanks to those who guided us through this year, Mrs. Vtfilliamee and Mr. Cahill. Every year our class made up a large per- centage of band and chorus, and has taken an active interest in the different school activities. VVe now have only one more year in L. H. S., but we will try to make it as wonderful and successful as the years that are behind us have been. lst Row: J. Blood, J. Scott, M. Pfaff, M. Amato, P. Paladino, J. Shepard, C. Miller. 2nd Row: J.

We learn to manage our future homes and maintain our future farms. Even such activities as dances and parties have their share of educational value, for if they are to be successful We must Worli together, plan thoroughly, handle finances, accept responsibilities, deal with the public and perform a host of other duties which help prepare us for the particular duties We will assume in the future.

The mem- bers of the Village Board CRieht, bottoml are citizens of Le Roy chosen by their fellow citizens to determine policies and to decide issues which are of concern to all. These men meet with their chief administrator, Mayor Ellsworth Brad- bury, and amicably and democratically arrive at decisions. These men are chosen in a free election, are guided by the will of the community and protect the right and privileges of the mem- bers of the community. The Student Council tliight, topj is also a democratic body. It is composed of a group of people chosen by their fellow students to act on matters which pertain to all. These students also meet with their chief administrator, President VVilliam Scott, and amicably and democratically arrive at decisions. They too are chosen in free eleztions. are guided by the will of their class- mates and protect the right and privileges of each student and each group in the school. The two party system prevails in American politics, so this year the Student Council de- cided that a two-party system should be worked out in school. As a result two parties were formed, candidates chosen and a general election held. An independent candidate also entered the picture. The students of the school after a spirited campaign and a very close election chose Dan Mooney to succeed President Wlilliam Scott and Louise Byers to succeed Vice-President Evelyn Paladino. It is to bc hoped that the next administration will be as successful as this past one -- one of the very best in the history of Le Roy's Student Councils. A note of thanks should go to the leaders and all the class and homeroom representatives for a job well done. 46 The 1952 O-AT-KAN of Le Roy Central Schools IN THE STUDENT COUNCIL H o W R o w H o W Ii 0 W l l 0 W 5 -1 -1 -x fl 1 Edward Mooney.

Then in 1932 at a meeting of the Associated Academic Principals of the State of New York, it was voted that the High School Honor Society of the State of New York should be affiliated with the National Honor Society. So in june 1933, the Constitution of the Le Roy Chapter was adopted by the Society. The object of the National Honor Society is to stimulate increased scholarship, leadership, charact- er and service among the students of secondary schools. Not more than 15? of the Senior Class are eligible to join the Society and these students, selected by a committee of the faculty, must have excelled in leadership, scholarship, character and service. In the spring of l95l seven juniors, Irving Call, james Ewart, Dorothy Heaman, jeanne MacKenzie.

After six months of congenial toil together the members of the l952 O-AT-KAN staff are about to lay aside our official pens and submit the results of our labors to the school and the community. Wfe recall the first staff meeting when we were formulating plans to present a yearbook that would represent our school as part of the town, not as an isolated unit. We feel ourselves an important factor in our community and we hope we have portrayed this unity in a pleasing way. If our efforts have been successful, it is because of the ine cooperation we have had from the different organizations and the mem- bers of the senior class. Mr. Cahill, the tireless Standing: Gloria Jackson, Carol Stettinins, Seated: James Ewnrt, Roger Tliorkildsen, Donald Lapp adviser of both school publications. helped us keep away from the many pitfalls. To him and to Mr. Price, our astute financial adviser, we express our sincere appreciation. Wfe trust this year's O-AT-KAN will fulfill your highest expectations and perhaps give you a clearer picture of the school and community. In years to come we hope our yearbook will mark the progress of our community and mean to you then, as now, all that a yearbook should mean.

The staff isn't con- Hned to just journalist students, but is expanded to include all the students interested in this work. First semester most of the work on the paper was done in journalism class. As many of the staff as possible took journalism so that they could help in putting the paper together. Vtfhile much of the writing was done outside of class, the paper was put together, proof read and various other tasks were performed in the class room. Second semester, because there was no journalism class, the work on the Red and Black RED AND BLACK 211ml Roxv: Louise Byers, V'1'gini:1 Myers, Evelyn 1'2ll1lll1ll0 lst Row: Rita lluteru was done in free periods. Our paper not only serves as a means of keep- ing students informed, but also gives the students practical experience in writing compact, factual, and interesting articles. To help boost subscription sales the Red and Black ran a subscription sales contest. A black banner bearing the words, Outstanding School Spirit , was awarded to the Sth grade for buying the most subscriptions. Even though writing for the Red and Black meant work, it also has a lot of fun connected to it, so that it's not all work and no play. l HE' RED AND BLACK STAFF Stauuling: Mr. Cahill, XVi11i:un Scott, 4Henry Barbeau, Nancy Clark, XVayue Mayo, Josephine Znmbito, Bruce Milne, Dennis Fanning, Marie A,rgaua, Robert Selden.

Mrs. G. H. Knoll presents first prize to Louise Byers. As has been done for several years, all the speeches were original. They per- tained to many different subjects, the only similarity being that they were all about problems-national, local, family, and personal-all types of problems. First prize of 315.00 was awarded to Louise Byers, whose speech was entitled. K'The Doorway . -ludith Rodgers captured the second prize of 310.00 with her topic, 'KGrandmother Had A Cinch . Third prize of 35.00 was won by Marie Baglio with her oration on, Life NVith Sister . The money for these awards comes from the fund left by the late Thomas VV. Larkin. . The judges of the contest were: Mrs. G. Henry Knoll, Mrs. Theodore Chapman, and Mr. Wfilliam Holden. Awards were made by Mrs. Knoll. The director, for whose help all contestants are grateful, was Mr. Wfalter C. McRoberts. These contests are a great aid to the students in gaining poise and speaking ability and overcoming so-called stage fright.

Red Key Society If one were to take away all those members of a community who freely and willingly gave of their time and services in such activities as the Board of Education, The Community Chest, The Red Cross, various church groups, fraternal or- ganizations and many others. we would have only a shell of a community without its heart. Certainly it could not operate efficiently under such circumstances. So too are such people necessary for an efficiently operated school . The Red Key Society Qaboveij and the newly-formed Service Club fright, top and bottomj are composed of groups of students who have volunteered their services so that this school may operate more smoothly. The Service Club is an organization newly formed this year. It is intended that this group will replace the Red Key society and will per- form the duties originally assumed by the Red Key as well as any other duties which may be assigned to it. These organizations this year have performed many tasks which would otherwise have been given to busy teachers or people hired by the school. The principal work undertaken by their members is monitor duty in the halls and on the buses. To keep trafhc Howing smoothly in the halls and to see that order is maintained while classes are passing are the tasks of the hall monitors. The bus monitors are the bus drivers' right hand men. They check to make certain that all people are on the right bus and present when the bus leaves. They maintain order on the bus so that the driver may devote his time and attention to driving. Wforking in the office and collecting and check- ing attendance slips is another job done by these organizations. Their work in the cafeteria helps to make it run smoothly and efficiently. 54 The 1952 0-AT-KAN of Le Roy Central Schools FOR THE GOOD OF ALL Service Club e 1952 0-AT-KAN of LeRoy Central Schools 55 THE PLAYS THE THING 2nd Row: Amaryllis Rnshko, Ingred lVickenden, Irving Call, James Ewart, Robert Cromwell, Gerald Sherman, Charles Ianello, Elizabeth Mc Allister, Rose M.

Our Hearts Were Young and Gay The senior class initiated our new auditorium with an excellent performance of Cornelia Otis Skinner's and Emily Kimbrough's comedy Our Hearts Were Young and Gay . Full houses on each of the two succeeding nights howled with laughter at the antics of Virginia Myers fCorneliaj, Judy Rodgers Qlimilyj, and Roger Thorkildsen and Dennis Fanning, two medical students. Responsible in great part for the success of the performance were the members of the stage crew and the various other committees, without whose conscientious work no performance would have been possible. A speeial bow should be directed at Mr. Mc- Roberts, our very capable director, whose pa- tience and knowledge of dramatics was the key- stone around which the production was built. 56 The 1952 0-AT-KAN of Le Roy Central Schoo THE WORLDS A STAGE 1 f - f . ,.f CAST Sfcrcvard . . .

VVith all the talk of de-emphasizing sports it may be of value to mention briefly how a good athletic program serves the community. Primarily it serves the community through its youth. Physical fitness is essential if an individual is to contribute all of which he is capable. In addition to this, athletics teaches sportsmanship, initiative, quick thinking, teamwork, coordination, the will to succeed and many other traits which will serve an individual, and thus his community, well. Athletics also serves the community ' in another respect, one which is all too often overlooked. The scene of an athletic encounter is often a rallying point for community spirit, that spirit which molds a group of individuals into cohesive force. Here students and adults rub elbows and in so doing each increases his understanding of the other. The spirit of a community is some- times cemented in its common desire to see its represntatives victorious on the sports field. These teams have been fortunate in the number and faithful- ness of their followers, and no small credit for their past successes should go to the people of Le Roy who have given so much support.

The Le Roy Red and Black opened its 1951 football season with an impressive victory over the Caledonia eleven by a score of 25-6. The Le Royans seeking revenge from the last year's upset, took an early lead by taking advantage of the many Caledonia fumbles. With Landcastle and Englerth dividing the touchdowns, the game proved to be the start of another successful season. The Red and Black, now with one win, ven- tured to Hornell, a much larger school. Hornell was big, too big, and they proved their superiority in numbers by being victorious to the tune of 33-0. The Red and Black with some injuries, came back fighting, meeting Monroe on our home grounds. It was a hard-fought battle with nei- ther team making any real threats. Then, early in the fourth quarter, the Le Royans completed a touchdown pass, giving their team a second win, 7-0. Le Roy traveled to Albion for the first con- ference gameg the game went scoreless in the First half with the teams sizing each other up. Then, in the second half, Garner scored the only two touchdowns of the game, giving LeRoy their third win by a score, l2-0. 62 The 1952 O-AT-KAN of Le Roy Central Schools The VVilliamsville eleven came to Le Roy for their first game here. In the second period Le- Roy unleashed an attack which, in a few plays, put them in a scoring position for their first touchdown, and the second followed soon after. In the second half there was rugged defensive play by both teams which kept that half score- less and gave Le Roy a win, 13-O. In Le Roy's sixth start, with four wins, we encountered the Medina team at home. It was as stiff as the rest, with two-evenly-matched teams. Neither team made much progress until in the closing minutes. Le Roy made a final 65 yard drive which, with 45 seconds left, gave Le- Roy their winning touchdown, 6-O, The 58th meeting between Le Roy and Bata- via, continued the dreaded rivalry between them and added more flame to the traditional fire. The FOOTBALL first half went scoreless and it looked as though this game was going to end in that same situa- tion. Then, in the second half, the Batavians plaved a brilliant game and rolled over Le Roy with a 13-O victory, spoiling our four consecu- tive win record. Le Roy traveled to Amherst for their fourth meeting together. In the second quarter Am- herst scored two points on a safety behind Le- Roy's goal. Then, in the fourth quarter, LeRoy scored six points and it looked as if the game were oursg but with fifteen seconds left, Amherst scored from the one-foot line making it their game, 8-6. In spite of the three losses, the five wins and the wonderful display of Le Roys sportsman- ship and talent made this an exceptionally good season.

A possible handicap was that we had only one basket and a half-court to practice on until mid-January, when the gymnasium was made ready for use. journey- ing to Batavia for our third game, we put up an excellent fight and ended the first half lead- ing, 28-27, but out-scored in the ,second half, we lost a thriller 52-59. VVith a few weeks of practice on our new court, we won our first game at Albion. Out-scored in the first half, 30-18, Le Roy looked bad, but the few weeks of practice began to show and we won 47-44.

Le Roy, with 1he spirit of a new team, encountered Batavia for a return match in our ffvm. The regular game time ended in a tie, 55 all. Going into overtime, Le Roy proved superior, winning 58-55. The following night Dansville had an easy win over an exhausted Le Roy team. Le Roy made it a clear-cut victory, defeating Albion for the second time. Our conquest of Honeoye Falls and Fairport in the local gym gave us a split with these two for the season.

This year's Junior varsity baseball team started the season very well, beating Albion by a score of seven to two. coAc1-:Es LONGHINI ,un CATALINO The Le Royans showed they had very good hitting power but were weak in fielding, accounting for most of Albion's runs. Next they played Pavilion where they lost a very close game by a score of six to five. Again 'Le Roy hit well but was sloppy in the field. The team is under the direction of Coach Longhini and Assistant Coach Catalino. They have taught them many of the fundamentals of the game and will have many strong candidates ready for next year's varsity team. 70 The 1952 O-AT-KAN of Le Roy Central Schools BUILDING COMMUNITY SPIRIT Cheerleaders Rose M.

The 1952 O-AT-KAN of Le Roy Central Schooxls 71 72 T h GIRLS' ATHLETIC ASSOCIATION ist Row: Fannie Bossart, Miss Dougan, Virgfnia Myers 2nd Row: Evelyn Paladino, Barbara Brodie The year, 1951-52 has been very successful in regard to the Girls Athletic Association, even though we didn't have a gym when school began. The event of the year was probably the switch to black jackets with red G. A. A. emblems on them. Before summer vacation the girls of Le Roy High elected E. Paladino as president of the G. A. A. She was assisted by vice-president Barb Brodie, secretary, Virginia Myers, and treasurer, Fannie Bossart. So many girls went out for bowling this year that Miss Dougan had to divide the girls into 16 teams, 3 nights a week. High scorers were Shonnie Frank with 173 and Grace Ann Symonds with l69. During the course of the year we had 10 play- days and at each one a good time was had by all. The bowling playday was held in Le Roy and the five highest scorers, V. Corcimiglia, Ann Miller, G. A. Symonds, Betty Bossart and Evelyn Paladino, represented Le Roy and a line job they did. The neighboring towns of Medina, Perry, Oaklield, Elba and Caledonia came to compete for the best bowling team. VV e were lucky this year to have the bowling team from the University of Buffalo present. Regardless of this good competition. we came out on top and took first place. Second place went to Elba and third to Perry. After January we received our new gym and basketball started full swing with a very en- thusiastic group of girls showing up faithfully for every game. In the frosh-soph league Marjorie Sanders, Elaine Messore, Eleanor O'Shea. Rita Sheffer, Patricia Barbeau and Betty J. Daniels headed the six teams. Lil Spadaro, Ingrid Vlfickenden, Nancy Frost, Fleanor Eppolito and Nancy Clark headed the live Ir.-Sr. teams. Badminton and ping pong which were usually played were sacrificed because of the building project. e 1952 O-AT-KAN of LeRoy Central Schoos e 1952 O-AT-KAN of LeRoy Central Schoo 74 The 1952 O-AT-KAN of Le Roy Central Schoo BOYS, ATHLETIC ASSOCIATION 2nd Row: Mr. Longliini, Dennis Fanning lst Row: Phillip 0'Geen, Daniel Mooney, Samuel Leadley The Boys' Athletic Association is an organiza- tion made up oi all the boys in High School. It has charge oi all boys sports and must raise money to keep these sports in operation. The boys choose their ofhcers who have as their duties the responsibilities of working out a well bal- anced program of intramural activities as well as the Varsity and 1. V. sports. VVith the help of the physical education director, the officers must plan money raising campaigns and projects such as dances. This year under the leadership of our able President, Dan Mooney, we held a dance on May 23, and a scrap drive on june 6. The money from these activities will go toward new uni- forms for next year's teams. The members of the B. A. A. belonging to the football team are honored each fall by two dinners held in their honor by the community. Une is given by the Le Roy Business Men's Association and the other is a Spaghetti Supper given by Mr. Sam Frank. Also each year the Le Roy Business Men's Association gives a din- ner for the Basketball Team. The Village Recreation Commission sponsors Saturday morning basketball all during the winter months for all members of the B. A. A. In the spring, after high school baseball season is over, the Legion forms a local team and enters it in a county league. Le Roy Central School is one of the few schools in VVestern New York to have a lacrosse team. Gloves, sticks, and helmets have been purchased for the team which just recently re- turned irom a very exciting lacrosse game at Hobart. XV ith all variations of physical exercise from ping pong and golf to lacrosse and football, no group is left unrepresented in our sports activities. 1 e 1952 O-AT-KAN of Le Roy Central Schools fo 'x f' x f 'x f x f x f x 1 :XQ was QQ QQ QNQ AQ Music Wfhen Lowell Mason, the composer of Nearer My God To Thee and other great American hymns, convinced the school board of Boston in the'183O's that music was of great importance in the education of the young citizen, he laid the foundation of a phase of public education and community enterprise that is still growing in scope and prestige. The members of that school board feared that music would divert the pupils from their regular tasks, but they found that those students who participated in the school music program had an added zeal for other subjectsfi They thus recognized the psychological value of a healthy creative and recreational activity in an otherwise strict program of academic subjects. The citizens of Boston and the citizens of Le Roy each in their own way are still proiting from Mason's pioneer venture. Musical performances in school, church, concert hall and the home have improved in quality, and home grown talent has been encouraged and trained which makes us no longer dependent on outside or foreign talent for the stage, radio, or television. In a more subtle and personal way music has become a unify- ing force in the local and world community. At the music festivals people from all parts of the world can meet to participate in a common creative endeavor which rises above politics and race. Through the intimate medium of music our young people are made aware, as in no other way, of the greatness of our common heritage and the richness of our own contemporary culture. For music is alive long after its composer has left the scene, and it conveys, more dramatically than the written word the atmosphere of the time in which it was conceived. It unites us with those who went before us, and will be one of our strongest ties with the citizens of the future.

Its beauty is felt by kings and poor men alike. Yet the people to whom it has the greatest personal meaning and value are those who have the ability to make music themselves. Qui' schools today are pro- viding us with every opportunity to express our- selves through music and to share its power and majesty with those around us. The music Department of Le Roy Central School presents several concerts during the year which are designed to appeal to the people of the community. The musical organizations are self-supporting. Their only revenue comes from ticket sales to these productions and from instrumental rental. A total of nearly 300 students, representing SOCZQ of the high school's enrollment, participate in the various divisions of the department. e 1952 O-AT-KAN of Le Roy Central Schools Two bands are included in the schools music program. VVhile Junior Band serves mainly to prepare young musicians for berths in Senior Band, it always has its share of the Spring Concert program. The Senior Band has a very full schedule throughout the year getting ready for concerts. festivals and playing for the foot- ball games. It also takes part in Armistice and Memorial Day Parades. The Band went to the County Festival held this year in Batavia. This is always one of the high-spots in the year's musical activities. The choruses have had a full program this year as always. Boys', girls' and mixed choruses presented their share of the musical entertain- ment in the Christmas Concert and the Folk Song Festival. They also participated in the County Festival in Batavia, and made a radio broadcast over station XYBTA. The school was well represented at the All- State sectional program in Holley. Those taking an active part in the concert were: Henry Bar- beau, Martha Carr. Nancy Frost, Lois Handy- side, Gloria Jackson. John Jenner, Samuel Lead- BAND ley, Gary Johnston, Nancy Jones, Bernadine Kunego, Ronald Legg, Bruce Ludlum, Jeanne MacKenzie, Marlene MacKenzie, Rose Pace, Patricia Parton, Ann Patrick, Dorothy Russell, Wfilliam Scott, Robert Selden and Carol Stettinius. Jeanne MacKenzie also represented our school at the final All-State Convention at the Eastman School of Music in Rochester. Not to be forgotten are the Drum Majorettes who so ably led our band for parades and the football games. In the lead was Williaiii Scott, as Drum Major. accompanied by Sheila Booth, Betty Bossart, Barbara Brodie, Donna Drayo, Patricia Gartley, Shirley Jackson, and Amaryllis Rashlco, the Majorettes. This year will not be soon forgotten by the music students of Le Roy Central School. It has been a year not only full of work. but full of accomplishments as well. VVith Mr. Lane's con- stant support and untiring leadership. the Music Department experienced a successful and reward- ing year and will achieve even greater things in the future.

The Girls' Glee Club sang a selection, of four songs and the boys sang two. Included as one of the boys selections was the traditional The Night Before Christmas, The mixed chorus presented The Christmas Storyf, which was arranged by Mr. Lane. Louise Byers was this years accompanist. Because of the lack of facilities this year, the traditional operetta was not performed. In its place the music organization had a Folksong Festival. The program consisted of exactly what the title implied, including a very spirited square dance. 80 The 1952 O-AT-KAN of LeRoy Central Schools The fall music festival this year was held at Holley, N. Y. Many of Le Roy High School's outstandingly musical Juniors and Seniors at- tended this festival. It was a two day affair, with rehearsals Friday afternoon and Saturday. The concert was held Saturday evening. Friday night a dance was held for all the participants, which all enjoyed very much. Batavia High School was the scene of the annual County Chorus and Band this year. Approximately two hundred and fifty students attended this musical from Le Roy. A formal concert was given by the amateur musicians for the public, after a very spirited practice session CHORUS during the day. Most of the student's parents attended this concert. The choruses made two radio broadcasts this year, one at Christmas time and the other before the County Music Festival. XVBTA-Batavia welcomed the Le Royans and helped them make a very successful performance. One of the events which the high school choruses are looking forward to this year with much enthusiasm is the opportunity of singing at the Class Night activities. The success which the Choruses have enjoyed this year is due, in no small part, to the very able direction of Mr. Lane. Boys' Chorus :ard Row: R. Cromwell, J. Coudidorio, R. Cravatta, D. Hayward, J.

It is the sad closing of one door, but principally it is the opening of another to a vista more broad and more challenging than any We have faced before. The seniors who read this book can, in their mind's eyes, retake the various steps from kindergarten through high school and relive the experiences which have made that journey so pleasant. It is our hope that the O-AT-KAN will act as a Window in the door to the past which has just been closed. But now the future is most important, and the community of LeRoy occupies our thoughts. We have trained in citizenship and We must now take our places in the community and put into practice those principles which We have learned. With this thought in mind, the O-At-Kan takes great pride in presenting to the community of LeRoy itsinew citizens - the Class of 1952. x f' 'x f' 'x f' 'x f' 'x f' 'x 1' x f' Qi .DNKQ .QQ IQNFQ .DNKQ DQ . i X 35, Q 3 3?

In one sense a senior class, and the individuals in it, are the best measure of the success of a school system and a community. As seniors we have come to realize that our success in our school life has not been entirely the result of our own hard work. VVe further realize that all of the fun we have had in school was possible through the efforts of many besides ourselves. Certainly as seniors , we look back through our years of school with feelings of fondness and respect for teachers, administrators, the board of education, librarians, janitors, bus drivers, cafeteria workers and office personnel Wie could not leave a single one unmentioned. VVe are proud of the people in our class who have distinguished themselves. Many, as Rita Butera and Rose Marie Regone, who took att- endance in senior homeroom, found important work to do for the school and on class committees. There were others who brought credit to us all for their outstanding, individual achievements. Sponsored jointly by the Rotary Club and the American Legion Auxiliary, Wfilliam Scott and James Ewart attended Boy's Stateg Virginia Myers and Evelyn Paladino attended Girls' State. Jeanne McKenzie won the privilege of playing in the All-State Band this year, Roger Thorkildsen represented LeRoy in the All-State Chorus in his Junior year. Vtfilliam Scott won the Bausch and Lomb award and later was a full- tuition scholarship winner at the Maxwell School of Citizenship Conference. Dennis Fanning and Vlfilliam Scott were our able class presidents during high school, each holding office two years. James Ewart, a typical good school citizen, was e'ected president of the National Honor Society. Eleven other seniors were members. VV'e had some fine team captains, too. Donald Poles and Franklin Cooper co-captained football, Richard Landcastle was basketball captain. No less im- portant than our fine athletic teams in 1951-52 86 The 1952 O-A Costa, Fanning, Ewart, MacKenzie were our peppy and attractive senior cheer leaders: Evelyn Paladino. Bridget Frank, Rose Marie Antinore and Dorothy Russell. VVhile we speak with pride of outstanding individuals, we are proud of what each of us has done to make the class of 1952 one that we hope the school and community will not forget for a while. Wie have all worked on suppers. dances, at football games and taken part'in con- tests, programs and work wherever possible. Wfe have worked for the benefit of the comm- unity and they have worked for us. Nye have profited from countless guidance talks by local businessmen. inspected business firms and 1n- dustries. The Rotary Club entertained us at luncheon and we had the unusal privilege of spending a half day as individual guests of Rotary members. Students were also given the opportunity to stand-in for village officers. These were gestures that made real sense to us. Wfe knew from them that someone besides our parents thought high school students were im- portant enough to give time to. VVe now face the future. Of course we face it more humbly than we thought we would as sophmores. And we face quite different futures. Many of us plan on future education. Some of .us will find positions in LeRoy businesses and in- dustries, Some look forward to marriage. Most of the fellows anticipate military service. Wfhat- ev.er the future brings, we will always look back on these school days as an invaluable asset in facing our responsibilities. As a final parting gesture the least we can say to our parents, our school and our community. who have stood by us when we disappointed them as well as when we pleased them, is thanks for twelve of the best years of our lives.

These little-known people are the professional advertising agents who have both riled and soothed us in their endless attempts to get us to buy various commodities and services. The advertisers in this Yearbook have not resorted to fancy words or clever tactics in appealing to you as customers. They have, instead, paid at substantial part of the cost of printing a most Worthwhile book quite content With the hope that you Will recognize them as community spirited citizens engaged in businesses which have contributed to community prosperity and which offer services that people need.

From the days of the grist mill, saw mill, railroad and canal, communities have been established where industry paved the way. Industry has always meant progress. Le Roy's industries have put our small town on the map. However, that is less important than the fact that, directly and indirectly, through them Le Roy has become a good place in which to live. Our industries are sufficiently diversified to give our com- munity economic stability in good times and in less prosperous times. They have created jobs which employ a large segment of our population. They have brought to us people of widely varying talents and skills. They provide a taxable Wealth which makes possible the material assets needed to educate youth and adults and provide many other community facilities. They provide lead- ership in many aspects of community life. Le Roy's industries serve our community and our school well. M M HICKEY - FREEMAN CO. The Hickey-Freeman Co. of LeRoy, one of the five main branches whose main ofice is located in Rochester, was started in Le Roy on Septem- ber 3, 1947. It was located in the hall of St. Joseph's Church on Lake St. About four months later it moved to the present location, a short distance down the street. They employ thirty-two women and a janitor. The job of these women is to hand sew parts of men's suitsg such as, the buttonholes, finishing of lapels, lining of sleeves and pants. The quality of these Hickey- Freeman suits is well known throughout the country, and Le Roy is honored to have it as one of its industries.

Tell him of the many things that make Le Roy a Good Place to Live. The modern school system . . . attractive homes . . . fine churches . . . the postoffice . . . library . . . theatre . . . auditorium and recreation center . . . the clubs and fraternal organiza- tions . . . busy main street . . . five railroads . . . the top notch industries. Mention the neighborliness, civic pride and team work that make Le Roy hum, all this in a beautiful rural setting. The stranger will find this hard to believe. HIRTY-FIVE years ago Lapp Insulator came to Le Roy. Like the stranger, they found it hard to believe. But, impressed, they decided here was the place to build their plant. Today, Lapp men and women enjoy the satisfaction of seeing products of their manufacture shipped all over the world, supplying the needs of the armed forces, the electrical, chemical and radio industries . . . Products like insulators to control and support transmission lines -carrying high-voltage electricity from its source to homes and factories miles away . . . Porcelain insulators tested for strengths up to 5,500,000 pounds, to support radio transmitter towers as high as 1200 feet . . . Pumps, valves and piping for handling corrosive chemicals so necessary for the manufacture of drugs, fabrics, plastics and other items of everyday life. And Lapp, like Le Roy, has many advantages to the citizen. Company life insurance, hospitalization, surgical and pensions are free to all employees. Paid vacations, holidays and advancement are important extras at Lapp. Modern equipment and processes speed and ease the work. Safe, clean conditions in bright, airy surroundings contribute to the health and safety of employees. This with continuin research for new and improved products and markets, High-voltage testing lcLbo1'ato1'y Assembling a radio condenser Assembling a proportioning pump , 5 good employee-management relations plus, a mutual respect and pride in company, product and home town, make Lapp a Good Place to Work. INSULATOR CO., INC. JELLEQ Jell-O has been a household Word in Le Roy and in the nation for half a century. To children it has meant a dessertg to employees, a most satisfying opportunity to Work and live in Le Roy. To the general public it can serve as an illustration of how free private enterprise has developed in this country. The story of Jell-O, since 1897, is one involving several people who occasionally had their doubts Whether gelatin desserts could ever be successfully sold. Pearl lVait was the first to develop a gelatin dessert using the patent acquired by Peter Cooper. The business changed hands in 1899 when it was purchased by Orator WVoodward. Mr. WVoodWard momentarily thought he had made a great mistake and even tried to sell the business for a paltry 3535. No one took up his offer. It Was not long after, when Mr. WO0dWH1'd realized the tremendous possibilities of developing a Jell-O business. For Within one year gross sales reached S250,000.00 and in seven years the business topped the million dollar mark. In 1925 Jell-O became a division of General Foods Corporation. Today the Le Roy plant employes about 335 Le Royans and has an 2111111131 payroll of nearly a millio11 dollars. Progressive in the field of employer-employee relations, the company has provided such bene- fits as disability compensation, retirement plan, and plant recreational facilities which are seldom equalled in' plants the same size. VVorker safety is furthered by company participation in iWestern New York Safety Organization, The Associated Industries of New York a11d the National Safety Council as well as safety programs ill. each department of the whole plant. One, two, or three weeks of vacation, depending on years of service, is granted to each employee. Organizations of employees, having departmental representation, plan, and carry out a year 'round program of recreation and fun- including a yearly picnic, a clambake, a Christmas party and a spring da11ce. These activities are examples of the pleasant and profitable contributions which the industry makes to the individual employees and to the happiness a11d welfare of the whole community. The J ell-O company has very unselfishly rendered services to the community which have been greatly appreciated. Two in particular are the loaning of the company's recreation room as headquarters for the blood mobile donor campaign twice a year and the tours of the plant that studentsifrom high school are permitted to make i11 relation to their school studies. A particular and sizeable contribution to the community is the 39,000.00 in taxes paid yearly as the company's share of the tax burden. This large amount greatly reduces taxes for the individual property owners. The success of the Jell-O industry over the past fifty years with its expanded production, which now includes making many varieties of Jell-O pudding, has brought increasing prosperity to the village of Le Roy and to the surrounding communities. VVe can feel confident that this organization will continue to serve the community as well and as faithfully as it has always done. History of the Union Steel Chest Corporation Fifty-eight years ago, in 1893, a small Company was formed in Roch- ester, New York to manufacture drafting tables, machinists' tool chests and other wood specialties. This concern grew slowly but steadily and in time was purchased by Gilman N. Perkins of Rochester and expanded into the Union Steel Chest 85 Cabinet Corp. which occupied a large multi-story building on Hand Street in Rochester. The enlarged operations of this concern included the manufacture of radio cabinets, instrument cases, and other special wood boxes, also one of the early lines of domestic ironing machines. The original line of hardwood machinists' tool chests was expanded to a very extensive group of chests for tool makers, pattern makers and others using precision tools. In the early 1920's a steel fabricating division was added and the Com- pany placed the first mass-produced steel tool boxes on the market. This line ranged from low-priced household tool chests to larger and heavier tool chests for the many new mechanics in the rapidly growing mechanical trades after World War' I. This new line met with instant success and has proven very popular to the present time. In 1930, it was decided to discontinue the woodworking division of the business and the metal fabricating division was purchased outright by Messrs. Seely F. Pratt, Orrin J. Mitchell and Gilman C. Perkins, who form- ed a new company under the name of Union Steel Chest Corporation, which properly identified its operations. The new company did not need the very large building used by its pre- decessor and canvassed the smaller towns and villages in the vicinity of Roch- ester in an effort to locate a satisfactory manufacturing location. Messrs. Pratt, Mitchell and Perkins were agreed it would be more pleasant and better operating conditions could be found in a small community. After surveying a large number of small communities in VVestern New York, it was decided to locate in Le Roy, due largely to the favorable location of the village in relation to larger centers such as Rochester and Buffalo, excellent transporta- tion facilities, a suitable building for manufacturing, and also financial assistance and cooperation of many Le Royans. The Union Steel Chest Corporation started operations in the former Donald Wfoodward cotton mills on Church Street in Le Roy in 1932, manufacturing the already established line of steel tool chests and utility chests. The line was steadily expanded to include cash boxes, personal file chests, and later, fishing tackle boxes. Steady growth in demand for the company's products was accomplished through twenty-six sales representatives operating throughout the United States and Canada and by numerous foreign agents in all parts of the world. Need for additional manufacturing space necessitated building additions to the original factory building in 1934, 1937, and again in 1940. In March, 1949, fire almost completely destroyed the company's manu- facturing facilities, but a new modern plant was built immediately and pro- duction was resumed in November of the same year. The new plant is said to be the finest in the country devoted exclusively to the manufacture of steel tool boxes and allied products. In the meantime, two of the founders of the present company had passed away-Seely F. Pratt in January, 1949 and Gilman C. Perkins in December, 1947. The present officers of the company are Orrin J. Mitchell Sr., Presi- dent and Samuel A. Myers, Secretary-Treasurer. Since starting operations in Le Roy, over 13 million tool boxes, utility chests, and other types of metal boxes have been produced at the Union Steel Chest Cororation and distributed throughout the world. Many of these were used by the Armed Forces in World War II and are being used in the present defense effort. Currently, the company employs about 125 men and women from Le Roy and vicinity and has an annual payroll of upwards of a half million dollars. Employment is steady as the seasonal factor connected with fishing tackle boxes is offset by increased demand for tool chests and other products during other seasons. . Le Roy has been good to the Union Steel Chest Corporation, and the company has been good for Le Roy. 1 . Hirschman-Pohle Col., Inc. Successors To W. F. HIRSCHMAN CO., INC. Manufacturers of High Grade Roof Ventilators Puttyless Skylights . Auxiliary Equipment The W. F. Hirschman Company, Incorporated was started in Buffalo in the year 1908. moved to Le Roy in 1925 and occupied the place on Church Street where the Champion Container Company is now situated. At the endof World War II the company was rearranged as the Hirschman- Pohle Companyewhich are the former employees as the stockholders of the new company. They opened their plant on Lent Avenue employing eighteen people. They manufacture ventilators, custom-made to engineer's specifications. The quality of their work is well known in Le Roy and all over the United States. They have shipped some to the atomic energy plant in Washington and also the H-bomb plant at Dunbarton, South Carolina. KEMP 81 LANE Kemp 8 Lane, Inc., was organized by Donald Woodward on July 26, 1920 to conduct the proprietary medicine business organized by his father, Orator F. Woodward. The first trade mark obtained by the latter is dated January 14, 1879, and covers an imitation nest egg. Various proprietary medicines were added from time to time, the best known being Kemp's Balsam, a nationally advertised cough syrup. The present building, which houses Kemp 8 Lane, Inc., was built in 1919. In 1927, the Orangeine Chemical Company of Chicago was purchased and merged with Kemp 8 Lane and in 1929 the S. B. Goff 8 Sons Company of Camden, N. J., was also absorbed. This latter company, besides manufacturing proprietary medi- cines, also made salt water taffy. This product is now sold by organizations, such as schools, churches, Y.M.C.A.'s., etc., throughout the United States. The Present officers are: Donald Woodward, President E?

This makes Le Roy a prosperous shopping center. Our businesses which specialize in services give service par excellence. These businesses include printing concerns, service stations, and garages, realtors, insurance agents, utilities, dry cleaners and specialists. They supply us with every-day needs. A quick glance at the advertising that follows will tell their story Well. These businesses and the men and Women who are employed in them are important citizens. Several men and Women among them have talked to high school students in the classrooms and guidance groups. They provide many opportunities for part- time and full-time work for Le Roy students and graduates. VVe recognize these businessmen for their value to the com- munity both as businessmen and citizens. COMMUNITY DRY CLEANERS The Community Dry Cleaners, located at 72 Main Street, is owned and operated by two well known Le Royans, Samuel and Anthony Forti, both graduates of Le Roy High School. They started their business May 3, 1947. VVhen the Forti brothers started in business, there was no location in Le Roy available for a plant. They were able to locate a building with plenty of room for expansion in Bergen. Through a period of years it has been proven that having the plant located in Bergen has given advantages to both the customers and owners. The location is now in the center of their business enterprises. By having the plant away from their main sources of business, the owners are able to spend more time on the finishing of garments. That is why every garment that comes into our shop gets that extra service for which the Community Dry Cleaners is well known. On September, 1948, misfortune struck and their plant was totally destroyed by fire. The Forti brothers didn't give up and immediately they had a larger fireproof building constructed. New equipment was installed and today they are proud to have the most modern dry cleaning plant in Vlfestern New York. We are proud of the fine group progress toward better living that has taken place in Le Roy. VVe are thinking of the many new homes, the wonderful school editions. club houses, the two new county hospitals. many fine stores, the new factories and new additions to our factories. All these things make Le Roy a finer and more attractive place to live. Five years ago the Community Dry Cleaners started business. Although still a young or- ganization we have increased the number of employees and have added storage and laundry service to our services. Constant progress has been made at our plant which has made it possible for us to give the utmost in Dry Cleaning Service. W'e will continue to improve our services as new equipment and techniques are developed. One of our biggest contributions to the community of Le Roy is the addition of Berlou Moth Proohng service. This moth proohng service is not something that has to be done every time a garment is cleaned. Once a garment is treated we are able to guarantee in writing the garment moth proof for five years. NWC have moth proofed over 50? of the wool- ens in Le Roy saving thousands of dollars in moth damage. Qur business shows that you appreciate our work, we thank you again.

ERNEST TOWNSEND 8: SON M lNSURANClE GAZETTE - NEWS COMPANY The Le Roy Gazette was established in 1826, and has been continuously published as a weekly newspaper since that time. The Le Roy News was founded in 1899 and the two were merged into the Le Roy Gazette-News in 1912, when the present Gazette- News Company was incorporated by Edward M. Perkins, who had purchased both papers. I. C. Balch founded the Gazette, when meager equipment was brought to Le Roy by ox teams from Canandaigua. That news- paper publishing in those days was a precarious venture is attest- ed by the fact there were nine owners and editors in the 14 years ending in 1840. C. B. Thompson bought the paper in 1840 and was owner and editor until 1885. George E. Marcellus then pur- chased the paper and continued until 1912. It was not until 1925 that the publication owned the roof over its head, when the present building on Bank street was erected. The building was especially designed for publishing and printing, and was made necessary by the increasing commercial printing business. The O-AT-KAN represents one of the many types of printing produced by the Gazette-News Company. Color work is done extensively in catalogs and in literature in the Lyceum entertain- ment field. We deem it an honor in our 126th year to be recognized as Le Royle Oldest ImZ'uStry. The Townsend Oil Company was founded Oct. 1, 1921. On April 1, 1922 we inaugurat- ed tank truck delivery of gasoline, kerosene, fuel oil and lubricating oils to farmers and commercial customers. It was also at this time that we began the operation of, The Grove Service Station. The Bank Street Station was built in 1924 and we also moved from Main Street to our present office on Bank Street. The Bank Street Service Sta- tion was ope1'ated by us until 1944 when it was leased to Paul Kennedy. The Grove Service Station was also operated by us until 1946 when it was leased to Ray Papke. The needs of our customers are taken care of by three tank trucks and one panel truck, used for the delivery of motor oil and grease. XVe are the oldest distributor of Pennzoil products in New York State and the second oldest in the United States. At the present time there are 11 people employed by us. Nine of them local people and two from surrounding towns. TO WNSEND OIL COMPANY Established 1922 Phone 121 Le Roy, N. Y. THE BANK STREET SERVICE STATION The Bank Street Service Station was built in 1924 and was operated by Townsend Oil Company until 1944 when is was leased to Paul R. Kennedy. Paul has been working for and with the Townsend Oil Company since July 1, 1928. THE GROVE SERVICE STATION The Grove Service Station was built in 1936 and was operated by the Townsend Oil Company until 1946 when Raymond C. Papke leased it. The station has been operated con- tinuously since that time by Ray Papke and his brother, Royce Papke. Ray has been working for and with the Townsend Oil Company since August 1, 1933. Empire State Express Co. This establishment, located East of Le Roy on Route 5, has served Western New York for 30 years. During that time it has transported articles giving excellent service to the industries and businesses which is so vital to the welfare of our community. It has provided convenient transportation facilities, particularly for the independent concerns which are the backbone of the community. Although this establishment is located outside of Le Roy, it has expanded and become an essential part of our community's system of enterprise. W. WAQGRIFFITH Established in 1933, courtesy and service have been the motto of the W. W. Griffith Service Station, ably managed by George Griffith since 1937. Quality is the password as is clearly shown in the dependability of all Richfield products. This reliable station has maintained a home-town staff of assitants. Expert service, high quality products and low cost are featured at Griifith's. There are few communities where you can drive into a more friendly, hospital establishment and find expert service, quality and satisfaction all in one stop .... W. W. Grifl'ith's Service Station, West Main Street, LeRoy. THE BANK OF LE ROY Established in 1838 this bank has served Le Roy continuously for 114 years. It is the second oldest established business in the community. lVI.ore than 7,000 customers are being served through checking accounts, thrift accounts, Christmas Clubs, loans, mortgages and safe deposit boxes. Open Friday evenings 6 - 8 Member Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation YOUR O-AT-KAN PHOTOGRAPHER SMITH TRUCK LINES The Smith Truck Lines was establish ed at Victor, N. Y. in 1909 by A. IN. Smith. Motor trucks, as we see them today, were unknown at that timeg all long distance transportation was by railroad or waterways, and the truckmen or draymen , as they were called, transported, with horses and wagons, various commodities between factories and the railroads and between the merchants' establishments and the railroads. In 1916 Mr. Smith moved his business to Le Roy, at which time he owned one motor truck and several horse-drawn vehicles. Today, 43 years after the inception of the business, it is still owned and operated by the Smith family. The equipment now consists of several large trailer-trucks which transport many of the products made in Le Roy to the metropolitan areas of the east- ern United States, and these same trucks bring back on return trips various raw materials which are used by Le Roy manufacturers. As one of Le Roy's older businesses, Smith Truck Lines has become a vital link in the economic life of this community and of western New York. POWERS INSURANCE AGENCY The Powers Insurance Agency has served the Le Roy area faithfully for many years though part of the time it was under another name. It was founded in 1932 as the VVatts Agency. It served under this name for 14 years. In 1946 it was taken over by Edward Powers who has managed it since that time. They carry all lines of insurance and, like all other agencies, are licensed to serve in New York state. O'GEEN PRESS The O'Geen Press, run by Louis and Vic 0'Geen, started in 1939 as a part time busi- ness, which was run at night and in their spare time. Their shop was on Bacon Street and occupied a space of ten feet by fifteen feet. Business was temporarily halted in 1942 when Vic was serving in the Army. Business began operating on a full time basis in 1945 at 110 Lake Street in a modern shop with the best of printing equipment. The 0'Geen Press prints the Le Roy Advertiser, office forms and manv other types of forms and programs. i INSURANCE REAL ESTATE W. BLAISDELL BOYD S9 East Main Street Le Roy, N, Y, Telephone 516 H. STEUBER 8: SON The firm of H. Steuber and Son dates back to soon after 1876 when Frank Steuber joined his father Henry Steuber in the furniture and undertaking business, Upon Frank's untimely death, another son, Louis W. Steuber then in Ohio, returned to Le Roy in 1891, joining his father, and continued in the business. Upon the death of his father, Henry Steuber, in 1905 Louis became sole owner and continued to operate the business until 1938 when he took in partnership his two employees, Stanley M. Crocker and Donald E. Steinmetz, the present owners, he having passed away in 1945. In 1943 the firm discontinued the furniture business, purchased the former T. W. Larkin home to provide a funeral home, and are con- tinuing under the irm name established 75 years ago-H. Steuber 85 Son, Funeral Directors. It was a natural outgrowth of his trade, that Henry Steuber was in the undertaking business, he being a cabinet maker and in those days making caskets. This lead to the care of the deceased and the building of what we now call Funeral Directing. He has also made much of the furniture sold in his store, many pieces of which are still in this section as fine antiques. G. L. F.

Renovated in 1945, this office contiuned its outstanding accomplishments in accounting for forty-five Q45j other othces, under the direction of Lyman 'Wilcox PAVILION NATURAL GAS COMPANY The Pavilion Natural Gas Company was organized in 1905 after the dis- covery of natural gas in the town of Pavilion. A pipe line was constructed to Le Roy and the natural gas service was begun in 1907. Except for the decade in 1927-1937 during which a mixture of manufactured and natural gas was served, Le Roy had been sup- plied with natural gas until the present time. The major portion of the gas used today in homes and industry comes to Le Roy from Texas, via large diameter pipe lines. C. B. DERRICK 8: SON The business was established in 1916 by Charles B. Derrick who had learned his trade with his brother in Richiield Springs, N. Y. Starting as a small one man shop at that time, it has grown over the years to include one full time stone cutter besides C. B. Derrick, his son Leslie fL.H.S. 19255 and his wife Dorothy Decker Derrick talso L.H.S. 192573 also office and shop workers, The plant not only included tools for old-time hand cutting, which is almost a thing of the past, but also modern sandblasting and de- signing equipment with the necessary handling de- vices such as are found in the better plants throughout the country. Business in general is done within 25 miles of Le Roy, but over the years orders have been handled from almost every state in the Union. Most granite comes from the state of Vermont but ma- terials are cut which have come from various Euro- pean countries, and many western states as far off as California. Memorials from small personal grave markers to large, many-pieced monuments covering many square feet of surface have been cut in the Myrtle Street plant. Much of the designing is done in their own drafting room. The plaque for the new school auditorium was designed and placed by this firm. CHIROPRACTIC HEALING The practice of Chiropractic Healing extends over a period of some fifty seven years, having been launched as a science by David Palmer at Davenport, Iowa in 1895. It is now practiced in all the free countries of the world, there being about 35,000 prac- titioners in the United States alone, this makes it the second largest healing profes- sion in the world. Chiropractic was intro- duced into Le Roy about thirty seven years ago. This relatively new science has given thousands of people the opportunity to seek re-newed health according to the laws of nature.

To them Le Roy owes a debt which is not always recognized. The men of medicine have dedicated their lives to the preser- vation and protection of the health of each member of our com- munity, or, as in the case of veterinarians, the care of the animals upon which so much of our general well being and pleasure depends. Healthy, energetic children, happy, capable adults, pros- perous, productive farms, are the aims of these particular pro- fessions. No members of our community are more essential, no members contribute more to its well being than do these men. All the professional men listed on the opposite page have con- tributed more than their particular professions demand of them, for their arduous years of training and education have well fitted them to become community leaders. The tasks contingent upon leadership, they have always shouldered willingly and capably. M M PROFESSIONS PAUL A. BOYLAN - LOUIS P. BRADY, Jr. - CHARLES C. CASEY CHARLES IVAN CROMVVELL - CHARLES D.

M M IW 'df Seofian The independent businessman, whether a merchant or en- gaged in providing' services, is an American symbol. He is a symbol of free private enterprise. He represents a goal of in- dependence Which is attainable by any of the present generation who are Willing not only to Work hard at business matters, but also to assume the responsibilities of an active community citizen- ship. The independent businessmen of Le Roy represent oppor- tunity that is denied many people in other countries of the World. We salute Le Roy businessmen individually for their close cooperation with the school's aim of training tomorroW's citizens and recognize the inestimable good which they achieve through the Rotary Club and the Businessments Organizations. The Rotary Club's traditional Halloween parade, annual en- tertainment, scholarships for Le Roy graduates, Weekly invita- tions to Le Roy students to lunch with them are typical examples of the many things businessmen are doing for the school and community. Le Roy's merchants have furnished information in the pages that follow that will help you to know them better and perhaps help you to appreciate, to a greater extent than before, their significance to our community in the past and present. M M STERLING DINER The diner itself was moved from the grove and attached to the house, where it now stands, in 1941. The house itself is very old, probably well over the hundred year mark. It has quite an interesting history. It must have been a lovely home at one time, with the huge barn and the towering trees. Even after we moved to Le Roy in 1943 remnants could be seen in the back yard of a vast old fashioned flower garden. Now it has all been plowed under and is a big parking lot. In 1885 the property was purchased by Thomas W. Larkin for the Le Roy Chemical home. It was sold by him to Doctor McPherson, and by him to Doctor Ganiard. It became known as the Ganiard estate. M. J. Lally purchased the estate in 1927 and fitted it up for '4Lally's Tavern . It was at that time when the late President Franklin D. Roosevelt, who was then the Governor of New York State, stopped here with his party and ate. ' The room that is the kitchen now was a dining room then, with a lovely hreplace, white mantle and green velvet drapes. It was known as the green room then and that is supposed to be the room in which the ex-president and his party had their luncheon. During VVorld War I1 we fed the Italian and the German prison- ers. It was quite a spectacular sight to witness, with guards armed with machine guns standing at every entrance. Then, after they had gone, we fed the Jamacians three meals a day while they were employed by the Haxton Canning Company. Now the house has been modernized and the restaurant caters mostly to the working class of people throughout the year, and the tourists through the summer. A Communication Received by the O-At-Kan Staff from the Le Roy Elm Dairy YVe should like to outline briefly the history of the Le Roy Elm Dairy and its products. The Elm Dairy was formed and began operations on November 1, 1943. Prior to this time much of the milk used by the good people of Le Roy and vicinity was processed in some old shed or barn that was far from being sanitary. It was Mr. Metcalf's idea to give our custom- ers the very best bottled milk that could be produced. Therefore, on August 1, 1945, We moved into our present building. It is considered to be the cleanest, most sanitary and modern dairy of its kind and size in this section of the U. S. Tiled Walls and floors make it possible to clean every part of this plant. The Elm Dairy Was the first to introduce the cellophane-covered bottle cap in Genesee County as Well as the first to introduce the square bottle. WVe were also the first to supply our customers With homogenized milk. Wlieii it comes to ice cream We take no Hback seat to any of the Well advertised brands. XVe use nothing but the very best cream and other dairy products. We always us purefruits and nuts and never use synthetic flavors. , If you enjoy a little break after the game, let us direct you toward the Route 20 Milk Bar, Where all kinds of light lunches are served. Try their pancakes and ham or sausage. For a delicious full course dinner visit the Red Osier Restaurant. Here you Will ind such tasty items as chicken pie, steak, roast turkey and sea foods in season. You will never leave the table hungry. All their ice cream, as Well as all other dairy products, comes from the Le Roy Elm Dairy right here in Le Roy. Our motto is to please you by serving you the very best of every- thing in the finest of food. Come in and see us soon. You are always welcome. THE LE ROY ELM DAIRY R. C.

An officer of the bank in VVyoming, New York, came to Pavilion on the train and conducted banking business in a small way from a supply of cash he carried in a suitcase. This was done in a combination ice cream parlor and Post Office. He returned to Wyoming on the next train going south. Later this officer persuaded the owners of the VVyoming Bank to construct a building in Pavilion for the purpose of extending a greater service to the community. In 1928 a State charter was issued to The Pavilion State Bank. Total assets at that time were a little over S5650,000.00. As of December 31, 1951 the bank had grown to a little over two million. It furnishes cash for its customers, assists them to purchase farms, homes, livestock, tools, cars, and other con- sumer goods, just to mention a few. It also furnishes a safe place for them to place excess cash which they may need at some time in the future. The community aids the bank by their continued patronage in depositing funds and borrowing for worthwhile projects. This assists in our growth and thus enables us to give greater and broader services as well as furnishing jobs and employment by the business concerns. B. R. DE WITT, INC. Pavilion, N. Y.

It is diflicult to impartially estimate the contribution of each of eleven religious denominations to the life of our community. However, the col- lective value of these organizations is great. Primarily, We look to them for individual guidance and opportunities for religious expression which are felt to be essential to the happy, Whole- some life of any person, family or community. The religious groups in Le Roy have collectively contributed in estab- lishing high standards for all Le Roy citizens. In a great measure We owe to our many religious organizations attitudes of faith, charity and brother- hood. Churches have traditionally been the center of community life. Le Roy takes pride in the leadership afforded through outstanding clergymen. Organizations Within churches are responsible for countless charitable, educational, social and religious activities which broaden and enrich corn- munity life. Le Roy's schools and church organizations enjoy the closest coopera- tion concerning released time for religious education and observance of religious services. Le Roy has been and always will be a fine community because of the good works of religious people inspired by their individual faiths and community spirit.
