Given Francis Mcliernon Mildred Sperry Edward Keenan Richard White Athletics Editors Circulation Manager Senior Reporter Junior Reporter Sophomore Reporter Freshman Reporter The last issue of the lied and Black is published. We have tried to make it a success and we hope you have been pleased with our results. It has been a hard job, but 'we know that we have received far more than we have given. XVe wish to thank the students for their contributions and subscriptions. Inasmuch as the advertisers have helped to make the Red and Black possible, we sincerely hope that our readers will patronize them. NVe leave to the statf of next year the sincerest hopes that the Red and Black will continue to exist and be a success. The Editors. Much credit fn' the success of the Red and Black is due Miss Ripton. who so willingly helped in getting the material corrected ami arranged for publication. We appreciate all your efforts, Miss Ripton, which are a reflection of your contact with school and its activities. Borrowing and Lending Neither a borrower nor a lender be, said Polonius in a farewell message to his son, He also said 'tI.oan oft loses both itself and friend. Polonius referred to money, but this same saying can be applied to every kind of bor- rowing and lending. Money should never be lent or bor- rowed except on a business basis. This may prove to be helpful for both parties concerned. There are, however, other methods and types of lend- ing and borrowing. These may increase and strengthen friendship. Books can be exchanged and both parties will receive pleasure. Anyone, 'who makes it a rule never to lend or borrmv a book, assumes a seltish and unsocial at- titude toward himself and others. If you Iind that you have made a lnistake in lending a book to an irresponsible borrower, you can ask for it in such a way that it will not embarrass the person. but if it should be money that was lent, the situation would be very complicated. The borrowing and lending of ideas and opinions stimu- lates interest. but the borrowing and lending of money could never produce such results. Don't Expect Your Ships to Come in if You Haven't Sent Them Out It is only human nature to shirk and draw back when it comes to nvork: so what can we expect to accomplish if we try in a half-hearted manner? Very many have the ambition to do something great, but very few have the ambition to stick to it after they have started. XVe have the ambition to start our Ceasar, for instance. but are we able to presevere till the lesson is completed? It is the same way with Geometry when the originals are ditl'erent. XVe wanted a school paper and we were allowed to have it. Then we chose people who we tho't seemed most able to make the paper a success. They had both the qualities of ambition and preseverance, ever striving to make each issue better than the former. They have succeeded. but not without difficulty. Some are born great: some achieve greatness: and cthers have greatness thrust upon them. Not many of us are born great or have greatness thrust upon us. so if we wish it. we have to climb a long hard ladder to get it: but when it has been received we are more pleased with it by struggling for it tl1a11 by just having it come to us. We may send out our ship well-laden, but it may never return. Nevertheless we will keep on trying till we are able to send out a ship which will come back laden with success of the highest degree. Marian Kettle 26. Success XVhat wealth he possesses, he who has fought. conquer- ed, and achieved success! His is not wealth in a material sense, but in the feeling that the tight has been his. We struggle through high school. bewailing the task of our studies. Yet how proud is he who steps forward on that never-to-he-forgotten night to grasp a diploma! Although this is only the tirst step toward success. it forms the foun- dation o11 which all future success will be based. Therefore. students of L. H. S., do not falter nor hesitate until you have mastered and acquired that foundation. , L. V. '24,

Miss Lena Lewis, instructor of English in the high school, will not return next year. She expects to take a college course. During the past school year, Miss Lewis has been advisor of the Literary Department of the Red and Black. Miss Mary Sweet and Jane Donnan of the high school faculty spent the Easter vacation in Washington, D. C. They report a most enjoyable time. A daughter, named Marcia Ann, was recently born to Mr. and Mrs. Frank Metzger of Rochester. Mrs. Metzgar. before her marriage, was Miss Gladys Westerman, Instruc- tor in Homemaking, at Le Roy High School. A daughter was born to Mr. and Mrs. Frank Flaherty of Rochester a short time ago. Mrs. Flaherty was Miss Catherine Weaver, of the High School faculty. A daughter, Betty Jane, was horn to Dr. and Mrs. Irwin A. Cole on January fourth. Mrs. Cole was Miss Ethel Spicer a grade teacher in the LeRoy Public School. Mr. and Mrs. Hugh Gregg and M1'. and Mrs. Louis Sindlinger visited Le Roy recently. Mr. Gregg, who was the former instructor in Mathematics, is novw Assistant Professor at Corning High School, and Mr. Sindlinger. who was Physical Training Director during 1922-23, is engaging in the Insurance business in Elmira. Mr. Francis, who was the Instructor in Agriculture sev- eral years ago, now has charge of the Agricultural inter- ests ot the entire county, and superintends the farm where hoys in college may take up their work. He visited thc High School a short time ago. Like the Romans of old, we are sending hostages to Batavia next year in the person of M1'. Pierce. What other conclusion could we draw than that Batavia is jealous of our good teams and wants our coach because of his reputa- tion for making teams? We're mighty sorry to have him go, especially to Bata- via, but, with the start he has given our teams, we ought to be up i11 the Cunningham class next year instead of the Pierce tarrowl. We'll try to make him feel proud of us even though he is our rival. John Murdock and Freeman -Ellingham members of the Sophomore class, have been engaged to play in an orchestra at Keuka Lake during the summer season. They plan to finish the year's school work in Penn Yan.
