We younger people listen in earnestness to these discussions and often wish pas,4ionately that. we were older so that we too might have a share ill the duty that lies so near to every heart. But do we ever stop to think that we tool have duties to perform that are just so lll2ljllltlll1IllUllS as those of any adult per- son: duties. that. if we conscientiously do. will enable us to better share the burdens of later years. and duties that. if we neglect to do will result in the degredation of our lives to such an extent that we will never be able to help make the world better? I refer especially to the duty of building character, a character founded upo11 true and noble principles. lt should be the aim of every student to strive to make his school-life clean and honest, to do his best 011 each and every occasion. because habits formed in youth are potent facto-rs. If we form some good habits during these happy years when we are still under the guidance of teachers and parents, we may be sure that they will stay with us until we reach our iinal' goal. helping us over the bad places in the hard journey of life. O11 the other hand. if we allow even a few bad habits to creep in. in the springtime of life, we will discover, perhaps. years later that this tiny habit has grown to the colossal size a11d is as immovable as the Rock of Gibralter. The duty that lies nearest each of us. is to see to it. that we let none of these bad habits get a per- manent foothold. If we find that such a one has started to grow. we should turn all 01111 energy toward Slll0ii1P1'11lLE it with good deeds. If we sacrifice this little now. we will be able to go on in our life work. and in the eml feel th it we have honestly succeeded.

Marian Kettle '26 The Seniors' Debt We Seniors. who are graduates to-night, owe to you. our Alma Mater. a greater debtg than we can ever express. l-'or years. the gates of knowledge thru' you have been open- ed unto us. At least partly have we learned lessons in loyalty. friendship, and sportsmanhip along: with school spirit. In your precints we have learned lessons other than those taught in books. XVe have received honors, oratorieal, scholastic. and athletic. We have bro't joy to friends and families thru' you. With your teachers as signposts on the Highway of School I,-ife. we have accepted this as our guide. And if we shall win. let it be by the code, XVith our faith and our honor held high: And if we shall lose. let us stand by the road And cheer as the winners go by. Some of us have failed our code. some have won. yet we are all stronger for the battles. These instances and many others compose our debt to you. l.e Roy High School. As we leave you tonight for the last time, we leave an earnest wish for the success of our followers, a sincere expression for gratitude. a plea for forgiveness for mistakes. and a hope that we may make our lives worthwhile. The Liberty Bell The Liberty llell is a famous relic of the early days ot' American Independence. Made in En,f:land. recast in America with the words I'roclaim liberty thru'out all the land. unto all the inhabitants thereof. it inspires us with a love of liberty. It now hangs with great honor in the hallway of the great State House in Philadelphia. The bell cracked the tirst time it rang but it has performed its duty each successive year since it iirst spread the joyous news of the Declaration of Independenc-e to the world on July 4. 1776. lt broke in the year of 1835 while tolling during: the funeral solemnities of John Marshall. Chief Jus- tice of the l'nited States. Sinee then. a new crack has developed in its side. This is gradually widening. and may some day break into pieces. That old state bell is silent. Hushed is now its clamorous tongue lint the spirit is awakened Still is liviugf, ever young. Despite the sad plight to which the bell has been re- duleed.it was lightly struck in 1917 by Philadelphia oflieials, when announcement was made of our entrance into the World NX'ar. The l.iberty lelell has been on exhibition at three Aineriran expositions: Louisiana Purchase Exposi- tion. World's Fair. and the Panama Pacific Exposition. This bell will perhaps never ring again to broadcast tidings of liberty over the laud. but let it he an inspiration to each and every one of us--America's future citizens. gf Viola Barker '26 13121110110 llabiI1Ski '26 7 J l S'l'Al l UF THE lllill AND lll,.Xf'K Commencement Numlser T H E R E D .-1 N D B L .-1 C K Page Nine THE VLASS UF 15326 1913Hl313N Al,l,lCX l irps3 A qnivt l:11l with :I quiet wzly.

His chief delight was to walk in their gardens where flowers of every variety bloomed. Regardless of weather. rejoicing in the different blossoms. he wandered. As fondly as he loved the beautiful rose. he loved the shy violet. No flower was too insignifif cant to draw a word of praise from his lips. Our garden. like theirs, contains many kinds of flowers-some blighted and faded: some radiant and fresh. With the hope that you too will rejoice among the blossoms that we have devel- oped, the Class of 1926 welcomes you to-night. Viola Barker Valedictory Classmates: To-night we meet here to receive our diplomasf These are the credentials, the passwords which will admit us to this new and fine college life. lVhether we go on in the quest of education or not, let us give forth the best that is in us. With unwavering determination, firm courage and high ideals, let us tight on in the game of life. Let us all make the varsity squad of successful men and women. We cannot fail to earn our letter if we have strength of purpose. Let us secure success for ourselves, honor to those we love, and prestige for the teachers and school that have given us such a fine start in life. With this pulrpose in mind, let us go forth into the world with light hearts. With the pleasantest of recollections, the fondest of mem- ories and the finest of ideals, let us say Goodbye forever to I.e Roy High School.

The Red and Black For the sake of those who do not know the history of the Red and Black, we are giving this short account. The paper was founded in 1921 by the pupils of L. H. S. 'llhe Iirst copy was in a newspaper form with eight pages. The rest of that year. it was published monthly in magaxine form. The next two years it was published at Christmas. Easter, and Commencement in the same form and seemed to be greatly enjoyed. At that time. however, the paper was greatly-1 ill debt so a new form less expensive was adopted. In 1924 a small four page newspaper was published monthly. At the end of the year the debt was almost half paid. The same type has been continued this year with the result that the debt is entirely paid and a substantial sum left to begin with next yea1'. Because of the success of the paper. the staff of this year has substituted :l magazine instead of the usual newspaper form for the June issue. Staff.

Old Crow finished the legend. Not a sound came from the silent group of Indians, gazing into the distant marsh. Full well they knew the significance of the omen. Ages ago the G-reat Une had promised that this would be his sign of a successful attack. Tl1e tale. handed down thru' hundreds off years ran thus: Many, many moons ago, their ancestors, an insignificant tribe, were de- liberating concerning an attack 011 a neighboring race. According to their religion, supplications and prayers were ohiered. A terrilic storm ensued. Above the confusion, a calm, clear voice. commanding attention, was heard, Lol Behold my omen in yonder swamp. Go forth to battle when you perceive it. You will become a tribe mighty in war and peace. This is the reward of faith. I am the mighty. the benevolent, the God of Fire. With a great flash of lightening. all was still. The Indians. awed by the words, gazed into the swamp. Joyous, they beheld shooting tongues of flames. springing from the marsh. The following day, a successful attack was waged. Guided by the Great One, they made attacks. only after seeing the omen. Truly the prophecy was fulfilled for tl1e tiny group of Indians grew into a powerful tribe. Tonight, sitting around the campfire. they beheld the sign of their God. As the flames shot from the ground, the prophet retold the legend. Tomorrow. they would attack their enemy. A week later, confident. of success and trust- ing the God of Fire, a weary band, with hundreds of scalps dangling from their belts, returned. The Great One had not failed them. I wonder where they ever dug up that fairy tale. Such bunk! scornfully spoke Jack NVE-st. He was the center of a group of youths around eighteen. He was hold- ing a crumpled newspaper under the streetlight to read it more clearly. Bunk is right! Just as if flames could shoot up from a mudhole. Ye gods Z ejaculated Dick Wilson. his chum. I wonder why they ever printed it in the Sun. I dunno! Let's go down town. Nothing doing here, suggested another boy. The old legend forgotten, they moved 011. 1 They were all residents of the city of Blakesvllle. Centuries had passed since the redman had inhabited the place. The white man in his avarice for wealth and land had driven l1im into reservations. The city with a popu- 333333333 lation of twenty-five thousand had sprung up a mile from the remains of the swamp. The Sun , the Blakesville daily paper, had recently reprinted the old legend. It in- cited considerable comment at the time,4then was for- gotten. One night early in June. Jack a11d Dick started for a ride. Excitedly the former yelled, Dick, the swamp! Quick! Ye gods. a tire. Ag tire like that. You're crazy. It looks like tongues of Haines. Tongues of what? Oh the legend. the old Indian omen ! ,Dick looked bewildered. Are we dreaming or what? Jack rubbed his eyes and looked again. Sure enough the Hames were still there. Stepping on the starter. he headed for town. Ten minutes late1'. they had spread the news to the incredulous towns- people. A quarter of an hour later, the entire population was on the edge of the swamp. 'tl don't blame those Indians for being superstitious. It,'s ghostly, spoke Dick. Spooky? Say there is something fishy here, do you know it? Let's try to go out, responded'Jack. In spite of the protests of their elders. they started, followed by a band of the other fellows. Heavens it's muddy, Jack. Dtll1,t I know it? My poor shoes! Think we'll ever make it? Naw, do you? 'tJack, we will have to go back. I suppose so. regretfully. They look the same as they do from the edge. This su1'e is fishy. You mean muddy, don't you '? Q But Jack, pondering, was in no mood for jokes. On their reaching shore. the people gave a sigh of relief. No o11e could explain the phenomenon but all connected it with the legend. Slowly they sauntered, gossiping. back to town. The flames still darted high into the night but the air was damp a11d it was useless to stand and talk. I11 a few minutes. a general cry was heard. All parts of the city re- sounded with police alarms. It was discovered that the bank had been robbed. Shortly, similar reports from half the stores and scores of homes were sent to police head- quarters. The loss was up to hundreds of thousands of dollars. The force, vainly hunting for clues, was bailed. Commencement Number T H E R E D .4 N D B L A C K Page Seventeen You know. Dick. that was sure a successful attack for someone. No Indian either! remarked Jack. Beats me. I'll bet a cookie it was a put up job. 0mens and those things died with Columbus. Some- boy knew those flames were coming, don't kid yourself. lVell. Jack. since we can't solve the problem, let's go for a sandwich. In they went to a light lunch room. Jack greeted the clerk and said. Give me a couple: hamburgs. Joe. Can't do it. West. No gas to' cook with. No what? Gas in this weather? You're dippy! The clerk turned the jet on. Look! There hasn't been any for two hours. V 1 ' The boys gulped a cheese sandwich down. then parted for the night. Around ten: o'clock the next morning, Jack headed for the swamp. The tire was gone but two men stood on tl1e edge of the mire. He recognized one as the chief of police who, seeing him. yelled. Here he is now! Hey, West. Jack walked over and was introduced to the stranger who happened to be a detective from the New York Pro- tective Agency. The chief related to the detective. Mr. Thomas, This is tl1e lad who discovered tl1e 'tongues of flames' He can probably tell you more about it than I H know. Uverwhehned. the lad complied. relating the discovery again. Thomas. pondering deeply. murmured to himself, A iire. that means fuel. Coal-wood-no l . .lack jumped! Gas. gas, could it be gas? The very thing. why do you ask that, young man? Jack continued, explaining the lack of gas the night before. The detective looked interested. It could hardly be a big concern like a gas company yet maybe a dishonest employee! Rig money at stake. Then he hurried to explain that the fire was probably a method of enticing the townspeople from their homes. See here. boy. do you think we can get out there? Jack pondered a minute. Some guys and I went over half way last night. Then we had to come back because we hadgood clothes on. Maybe in old togs and with a lot of planks. we could make it. The detective approved. They hurried back to town to dress. Several hours later. muddy and dirty, they stoo-d in the midst of the mud hole. Nothing but a spot, d1'ier and blacker than the nest greeted them. Jack and Thomas both inhaled deeply. then' simultaneously cried, Gas The detective, kicking the ground. addressed his com- panion. I'll guarantee. if we dug down, we would find a series of pipes which caused the mysterious 'tongues of iiames.' Then. turning about he began the laborious jour- yn ney back. He went directly to the gas otlice a11d ordered a survey of the pipes. Then he went to the depot to meet a scientist he had telegraphed. The latter could give no explanation of the flames. In a larger swamp. enough, marsh gas might acculnmulate but not in that tiny one. Jack. mindful of the legend, looked up. If it were three or four timesins big? Possibly! Why? Jar-k retold once more the tale. The scientist looked interested and said. Probably once marsh gas caught on lire. giving rise to the Indians' tale. Remember. my boy, they are a superstitious and imaginative race. His services no longer needed. he took the next train home. Meanwhile. the gas company reported an immense pipe leading off the main line into the marsh. Its con- struction thru' the mud was unexplainable to them. A great shut oif near the main line regulated the pressure. And who might have done this? questioned Mr. Thomas. Jim Arnold. acting manager in the prolonged absence of the real otlicial. a Mr. Jones. finally answered, I am sure I do not know. All of our men are trustworthy and have been in our employment for a long time. But I tired a couple of men last winter because I found they had tam- pered with the lines. Securing their names. the detective went to examine thd pipes. He took several linger prints from the shut-off. ordering those of the two fired men and all the gas em- ployees. A The report came back the next day, none conforming to the blurred ones on the shut-off. He took Jack with him the next morning. They were gone several hours but finally returned in the lad's cab, hearing the lost booty with them. The townspeople gasped. as did the local police. Since Mr. Thomas offered no ex- planation. they waited eagerly for developments. Say. Dick. I bet you can lnever guess where we found the booty? Jack questioned. 'No-. where? I'm burning with curiosity. Sh-sh. Mr. Arnold's house. Ml: Arnold! Bewilderment spread over his face. He never originated that clever scheme. All he knows is - .197 gas. I know it! But we found it there. Mr. Thomas is baffled, too. They parted. Mr. Thomas. cabling the absent gas manager. Mr. Jones. waited quietly. Mr. Arnold was ar- rested in spite of his protest. He refused to speak and declared all ignorance of the gas pipe. Finallyjthe answer came to the cablegram. The detective immediately sent a group of diggers to the heart of the swamp. A broken gas lihe was found. The pipe was blow11 to pieces, indicating an explosion. but there was no gas leaking at the time. Aw, Mr. Thomas, tell 1119 what you know, beggfd Jack. The man smiled a11d began his tale. The pipe has been laid for years. Blakesville once supplied the old factory beyond the swamp with gas. The pipe, placed in dry weather thru' the marsh. were iitted with a shut-otf when the plant closed. Then it was forgotten. The ac- cummulated gas i11 pipes. after a dozen years. exploded, producing your mysterious 'tongues of flames' Arnold. evidently as much amazed as you. sensed the signal of Il 'successful attack' and acted. There it is all solved. He will be convicted? Page Eighteen T H E R E D A N D B L A C K Commencement Number Yes, he is guilty. The linger prints alone and the booty will convict him. Jack bade him good-night and rushed to his chum's home. Excited. he told the whole story. They spent the whole evening discussing tl1e discoveries and Arn0ld's prob- able sentence. 'Then at length. J ack picked up his cap to go. At the steps he turnedl to Dick, smiled. and said, The sign of attack was given. but, because the man was not of true faith. the Great One failed. Then he hurried down the street. Viola Barker '26 The Annual Meet fseconcl Prize, The students of Beverly and Logan High Schools were keyed to tl1e highest pitch of enthusiasm. It was the day before their annual baseball game. Everywhere, posters and banners blazed with the magic words. Baseball Game at the Beverly Athletic Field. That afternoon. a great mass meeting was held in the auditorium. Everything was carried out with the greatest school spi1'it. Songs were sung. speeches given, the stage- struck players were brought before the audience, and last but not least, the building shook with the thunderous yells. In Logan. a similar attitude prevailed. The assembly was carried on with even greater vigor. From the con- clusion of the cheer leader's speech, it was impossible for them to lose. They had been defeated the previous year. so the school was thirsting for revenge. Early 011 the bright sunshiny afternoon. an unusual weather condition for such an important event, a huge throng began to assemble on tl1e field. For a half hour. the student body changed yells. Then. a thunderous l'02ll'. more tumultuous than ever. went up as eighteen warriors ran to the diamond. Logan took the field Zlllfi began a snappy practice. The pep the boys put into it promised an exceptional game. From a checkup on the teams, they were both about equal. The Beverly fellows were a heavier bunch. but Logan made up its lack of weight by teamwork. They were one of the finest teams ever on a diamond. Beverly had the reputa- tion of being the best team in the section. Although Wash- ington was called the world's champions. that meant noth- ing to the Pirates. SVould Beverly fail to perform that day? Probably not. was the decision of her fans. The pitchers were the two outstanding figures of the day. Sherman for the Blue and White, Barber for the Red and Black . or Logan, were the aces. Sherman was an embryo Babe Ruth. so some of his admirers said. He had several home runs to his record, and a high average. On the other hand, Barber was a future Christy Mathewson. He had the gift of striking out some of those high school Ty Cobbs. Sherman had a' lot of steam and consequently curves. Barber didn't have so much speed but he had more dope and control, It was certainly going to be a pitcher's battle. After the usual formalities of the two captains, the umpire yelled the old and alluring formula, The batteries for to-day are Sherman and Tucker, Barber and Scott for Logan. Play ball! The Blue and White trotted into the field and Sullivan advanced to the bat. He was a trifle nervous and fell a victim to Sherman's curves. The next fellow drove a neat by to center field and then the next man struck out. The Red and Black took the field with no hits, no runs, no errors to their credit.f The first H1311 connected with the ball. but Sherman, at short. made a neat stop. and sent him to the bench. Bar- ber seemed rather nervous and walked the ensuing batter. The coach was rather disturbed for his pitcher was not showing true to form. After a quick delivery the batter drove the hall like a bullet into his hands again. A costly fumble and two men were on and. only' one out. The next 1115111 sent a grounder to dependable Sullivan: who touched second and with a quick relay to first completed a double play. It was certainly going to be a game of spectacular plays. What's the matter with you? You're rotten to-day said the coach as Barber ambled ups to the be11ch. I dunno. mumbled the red headed pitcher. Well, you'd better cut out 'those Friday night dates if you intend to play ball retorted his superior. lu the meantime, one of the fellows had managed to get to first. Scott connected with a fast one and sent it out into the garden. But by a long run, and a one hand catch. the fielder pulled it down. 'Urn this. the runner ad- vanced to second. U11 the next play. Wilson laid down a neat sacrifice. Sherman again rose to the situation and fanned the next man. As soon a sthe Red and Black fellows took the field. they began their incessant chatter. What ever was the matter with Barber. he knew that there was still a stone 'wall behind him. Barber pulled thru' that frame fairly well. He allowed but one hit. It was only snappy fielding that saved hilll though. Something rather drastic had to be done and done soon. You're geting worse and worse. l'll have to take you out if you don't perk up, growled the coach. I'll try, answered Barber. The first two men fell victims to Sherman's speed but the redhead sent a nice double into centerfield. It was the first clean hit of the day. Didn't the crowd surge them though! They complimented Barber. razzed,Sherman, and hurled encouragement and taunts at everyone in general The Blue and White 'ace continued sizzling thru white streaks. They looked like peas, said the disgusted Sulli- van. Sherman took his stand at the plate. Barber had been so rotten that there was little doubt but that he would hit And shades of Babe Ruth, what a clout he gave the pill. When last seen, it was disappearing over the fence, still going strong. Bedlam broke out when the slugger crossed home. He received an ovation worthy of any player con- nected with the pill. Beverly simply went wild. If Barber had gone up ill the air, he would have had good, reason. Hoots, razz, peanuts and pop bottles were thro-wn at him. The Red and Black hurler kept calm, struck out the next man, and retired to the side, by an assistant. Commencement Number T H E R E D A N D B L A C K Page Nineteen If any one ever came to the bench. Of all the dumbell fools that evel' put the worst. Here you've been making a record all spring and now it's disappeared in the air. Cummings, warm up. yelled the coach. Rave on if you want to: but first take a look at this. snapped Barber. holding out his right hand. The coach looked. and then swore. Barber's thumb was swollen twice its natural size. That's what I got for stopping a liner with my right hand. growled the hurler, was bawled out. Red was when he on a uniform you're Serves you right. but what we goin' to do. Cum- mings snap into it. retorted the coach. Listen t'oach, pleaded Red. let me stay in for I think they're kinda afraid of me. Besides Gumings pitched Thursday and his arm's shot. The gang's been backing me up good. so I think I can hold it. All right stay. But if you lose this game, I'll breal: you're neck. he threatened. All right. I want to show those birds, I won't go out like I did last year. Better put some tape on my hand. Tape nothin'. snorted the coach. If they see it. they'll know so1netl1ing's wrong aml wait and let you walk 'em. Let'S hope for speed. and control for my curves are shot. Beverly was going fine and retired the side in short time. Just before Logan took the field, the players gathered around the bench and listened' to the advice of the coach. Look here. you wooden Indians. he said. We've got a crippled pitcher. so its up to you to do your stuf. Get out there. yon. and show some pep. Beat it. Barber calmed down aml allowed but one hit. How- ever one hit followed Sherman's drive. but a piece of luck and brilliant fielding saved the day. MacDonald, one of the most powerful fellows on the Blue and White squad, connected. with a fast one. It was a beautiful sky scraper. curving rapidly towards the fence. It would have gone over, but a spectacular catch of Wilson stopped it. An old wagon where the grass was drawn away, was standing alongside the fence. Since Wilson was playing deep, he just had time to climb on the wagon and get the ball. It was the sensation of the diay. It robbed Beverly of two runs and would have probably have saved the day for them. From then until the first of the eight, the game went quite smoothly. Both teams made a double play. and sev- eral spectacular ones. Barber was a trifle wild but he was backed by ai stone wall. Thus far. he had struck out sev- eral men. He added another run by driving a beautiful triple and scoring on a long fly to the outfield. He was the outstanding figure of the day. At the first of the eighth. the eruption occurred. Sher- man walked Sullivan. The next man drove a double. But in trying to stretch it into a three bagger. he was just put out. On the play Sullivan scored. the first man to bring a score for the Red and Black, and the Logan supporters nearly went wild. Only one man out. one run needed to tie the score. and Sherman going up gave the spectators material for comment. Catastroplles for Beverly still con- tinued to happen. Haines drove on a single. As he slid l1o1ne in close. 'The umpire gave him the mediatelj! came cries of protests. rotten. Go back to the woods arbitrator's ears. a neat double. and scored ar cloud of dust. it looked benetlt of the doubt. Im- Kill the umpire. Your and the like reached the At the same time. Logan nearly tore their stand down. The score was tied and only one man was out. And Boyd had reached second ill the confusion. The next man drove a sharp grounder to short stop. but being a trifle nervous, a costly error allowed Boyd to reach third. Un the next P12151 the man on first ambled down to second. That old trick of the double steal is so old that a catcher no longer pays any attention to it. It certainly looked as if Logan was going to squeeze in another run. Sherman seemed to lose his nervousness. and promptly struck out the batter. Jones sent up a high foul, which the catcher gathered. aml robbed the Red and Black of a necessary run. But that's the luck of baseball. Beverly came in, determined to do or die. It seemed likely that the would do it. for the tirst man cut loose with a double. Ba1'ber's hand pained him seve1'ely. He stuck gamely, but it seemed to no avail. He walked the batter and allowed the next one to single. It was a lucky thing Wilson was not out for he saved one run for the team. No outs and the bases filled! The least Beverly looked for was two runs. And it looked as if they would ,get them. for one of the most dependable batters stepped tothe plate. As Barber wound up, the runners started. Harrison hit the ball a terrific blow. It was a beautiful liner. and was almost a sure hit. But Sullivan. playing deep, jumped and just caged it. The run- ners whirled about and tried to retrieve their bases. A quick! peg to second put out the second man and then a re- lay to first beat the runner by a hair. A triple play! The rarest occurence in base ball. The crowd simply went wild. They carried on with such enthusiasm that it took Beverly's entire police force composed of f0ll-I1 mfen to restore a re- semblance to sanity. Balmer may have been unlucky. but Sullivan must have had a horseshoe in his pocket and a four leaf clover in his glove. Logan came in full of hope. It seelned as if hope was the only thing they would get, tho'. However. after strike ing out the first man. he walked the next. Frill tore off a neat single, pitch. he went allowing the runner to third. Un the next to second. The batter was retired by short fly.

That's the way the season opened. And soon after the lid-prying process. Brockport Normal School fac- ed toward home with a 3 to 2 defeat as a memory. Le- Roy players and fans alike rejoiced because the team had started off' with the right foot forward. And results testi- fy that it has thus far been kept fo1'ward. But let us get back to this particular game. It was one of those close affairs with the outcome ever in doubt. Brockpo1't scored first, but Le Roy started in the same inning and evened things up. The score remained deadlocked at two all un- til the last half of the ninth. when the home team showed its fighting spirit and literally blasted in a run. With that lun came the end of the game.andvictory number one was chalked on the ledge. AQFINAS-LE ROY ' May Tth took the local team to Rochester for a'game with Aquinas Institute. Le Roy started right off in the first inning and went to the field with a two run lead. Not to be outdone. the fighting Irish came right back with the four. From that time on. the contest assumed a hit and run atmosphere. with Aquinnas having all the better of the argument until the ninth inning. Then the seige guns and heavy artillery of the Le Royans came into full play, and when the dust of battle had cleared away, the hated enemy lay stark and lifeless in defeat. The guns had scored four direct hits-enough to recruit the score L1 to 9 in our favor. Mark down victory number two for the hook. ST. JOSEPH'S-LE ROY The day following the hard Aquinas tilt, Le Roy play- ed St. Joseph's Institute of Buffalo on the home diamond. The locals did well in the field. but were kept perfectly tamed at the bat. We might alibi the defeat to the hard game of the day before, but the truth of the matter is that the Buffalo pitcher was too good for us. The victors scored two runs in the third and two more in the ninth inning. The. best we could do was t.wo in the ninth. There is no disgrace in defeat by a pitcher of this calibre. CANISIUS FRESHMEN-LE ROY Another team came down from Buffalo and proved its superiority by tronncing the locals to the tune of 7 to 1. This time it was the Canisius College Freshman, who turn- ed the tricks. They did it decisively and in a workmanlike manner. The team consisted of a bunch of hitters who simply would not or could not be stopped. They fielded almost as well as they hit and. in this way, kept Le Roy's score down. We have not excuses to offer. lVe were beat- en by a better team. Le Roy's lineup: Serusa, cf: Callan, lbg Boylan, 2b: Watts, ss: Tully, 2-Sb: Waldron. lf: Keenan, 1-fg Lapp, c: Maloy. p. ALBION-LE ROY Le Roy journeyed t.o Albion with high hopes of victory. but the old Albion jinx still worked. Everything went wrong. The pitching was poor and the fielding worse. Batting was a close third. The Le Roy infield was a patch- ed up one, owing to the fact that one of their number was ill and another drew down the pitching assignment. Lady Luck simply refused to smile on us. If there was'only one stone in the infield. the ball hit that with Le Roy in the field. If there was one hole ill the outfield, the Le Roy ont- fielders stumbled on it. In this way, Albion piled up a lead of 19 to 6. Thus the game ended and with it ended our string of defeats. ALBION-LE' Rf DY The return game with Albion followed the week after the first one. Le Roy was out for revenge and revenge they did- get. They hammered the offerings of four pitch- ers all over the lot. The locals started off in the first inning and made nine runs before they could be retired. That was only the beginning, and before the fun was over. we had amassed the grand total of twenty-five runs. The best the visitors could do was seven. CALEDONIA-LE ROY The Vlfednesday before the first Batavia game. Le Roy played Caledonia 011 the home diamond. The visitors put up a good game but were unable to cope with the attack of Coach Beebe's outfit. Hits flew to all corners of the lot in the first two innings and these were merged into ten runs for L. H. S. After those two bad innings, Caledonia played real ball and held the locals safe. All this time our team had been playing shut-out ball and the score at the end of the game was 10 to 0. BATAV IA--LE ROY Wow! Le Roy beat Batavia once more. And just to make it all the more pleasant, it took place on their own diamond, before their own fans. From the start. it resolved itself into a pitcher's battle between Maloyq of Le Roy and Sherman of Batavia. For the first seven frames, each side was blanked. The string of goose eggs made it look as though the break would never come. But come it did in the good old lucky seventh. Batavia's infield blew sky high and before it could, come back to earth, Le Roy had tallied four times. Batavia was lucky to score its only run in the eighth inning. a slight erron in the outfield presenting them their chance. Each pitcher allowed but three hits. Maloy had slightly the better of the argument, however. as he issued only one free ticket to first base as compared with SIlB!'l11ilIl,S four. Another great cause for Batavia's defeat was the fact that Le Roy's infield didn't blow. Page Twenty-two T H E R E D A N D B L A C K Commencement Number AQUINAS-LE ROY Aquinas Institute of Rochester came to Le Roy for their return game plotting dire revenge for their early season defeat. They went back to Rochester plotting re- venge for two defeats. The fact. is. they never had a look- in from beginning to end. Le Roy batsmen happened to have on their hitting togs that day and the result was that Manning, on the mound for the Irish, suffered his flrsti de feat in two years. The locals sailed right in from the start with a fine disregard for reputation. At the end of the nine stanzas, Le Roy, had made ten hits and five 1'uns. On the other hand, Maloy had been forcing the Irish batsmen to eat out of his hand. while the infield was right there with the old pep, completing three fast double plays as their share. Mark that one down with a good big X o11 the right side of the ledger. The final score was five to one. ST. J OSEPH'S-LE ROY On thd day following the Aquinas game. Le Roy jour- neyed to Buffalo for a return game with their prep school rivals. Maloy was badly off in form due to the fact that he had pitchedl on the previous day. He couldn't locate the plate and his temporary wildness forced in the' winning runs before he had settled down. The Le Royans were un- able to do any heavy scoring at any time and at the end of the game, tl1e score stood nine to four in Bufalo's favor. lDon't mark that one in the book at all. 1e:A'rAv1,l-I.r1 nor Batavia came to Le Roy for a return game -with high hopes of victory. As events turned out. they were not to be disappointed. 'Ihey started right off in the first inning and bunched enough hits to score two runs. From that time on they never had a chance for a run, but they didp't need 31152 Le Roy batsmen simply didn't have the punch to push over more than one run. We loaded the bases twice but each time the batter was unable 'to produce the needed hit. Both Maloy and Sherman. opposing moundsmen, hurled excellent games and it was hard for either of them to lose. The game was well played throughout as the 2 to 1 score indicates. The Picnic Un May 27. Thursday. to be exact the girls of the basketball squads. accompanied by Coach WVood. and her guest. Miss Mot'abe, journeyed to the Hemlocks. There they had a delightful picnic. Hot dogs, rolls. pickles, doughnuts, tllltl Forti's special pop we1'e among the' good things to eat.

I reckon I can hold them this inning . said ,Barber as he walked onto the diamond. Beverly's captain gave his approval to thetaped hand and the game proceeded once more. Red was a little wild. walking his first man. He fanned the next man and allowed the following batter to hit a slow grounder, and to be thrown out at first, From the Beverly supporters pealed a mighty yell. Sherman was advancing to the bat. Things looked dark for Logan. At his two previous times at bat he had driven a homer and a triple. Even a double or a single would tie the score for there was one man on. Sherman really deserved a hit, for he had pitched a superb game, And now justi one good smash and the score would be -1-3 for Beverly instead of 3-2 for Logan. He let one strike go by, but he connected with the next one. .For oyer the right field line it went. Foul ballfjyelled tliexpuinpire. Instantly a storm of cries broke forth. .f'You'big rob- ber.

After our long year of work at school, we ard glad to get out into the great out-of-doors. Here we the beauties of nature and rest our bodies and 1ni11ds. There are a great many activities to enjoy-swiinming, horse back riding. tennis, mountain climbing, etc. The New England states have many line campsg such as Neshobe, Kill Kare, Idlewild, Cory, Allegro, Ossipee and many others. Some of these camps will accommodate a few boys and girls from SB-Dorothy Brust and Marcia Ferguson at Camp Neshobe, and Sam Cochran at Camp Cory. Camp Neshobe is located on Lake Fairlee. South Fairlee, Vermont. It is for girls from the ages of ten to seventeen. Angelo Patri once said regarding camps, Let the children go. Let them go to the mountains and stretch their bodies and minds. Let them have a glimpse of what it means to get close to the earth and know the mother feel of it. Let them get the smell of tl1e forest in their nostrils. There is nothing sweeter, nothing'cleaner. nothing that will stir up liner memories than the smell of moss crushed under foot, the whiff of pine, the clean smell of ferns knee deep beside the trail. the wood smoke of the evening tire curling toward the stars as the happily tired children roll them- selves in their blankets to- sleep on the bed of pine needles that Mother Nature has il99ll spreading for just this occa- sion. Summer in a good camp will repay the dollar cost a thousand times by its priceless joy. Let the boy or girl go to camp. Marcia Ferguson, Room 5 The Origin of Fireworks The fireworks which are so important to our fun on the Fourth of July originated in China as early as the Iifteenth century. They first came into use, not as means of amusement, but for useful purposes. For many years, rockets, Roman candles, and colored lights have been used as signals for vessels at sea. With these, a regular code was planned so that actual messages could be sent. Even in the World War rockets and star shells were used to light up no man's land. Another queer use of fireworks occurred in 1840, when an unarmed American vessel, Independence, cited pirates. Having no other annmmition at hand, the captain finally thought of sending lighted fireworks into the pirates' boat. They were badly burned but they were glad to retreat. The use of fireworks to celebrate na-tional holidays did not become general until the latter part of the nineteenth century. l'nited States now leads the world in their use.

Artlis Starr, Room 6. As a flnal event of the year, our SA English club en- joyed a picnic supper at liuttermilk Falls. When Wednes- day arrived. the day selected for the picnic, the afternoon classes seemed to drag endlessly. When the longed-for bell rang. there was a scramble for the smallst package to carry. Automobiles. bicycles. and shoes served as means of transportation. After we had arrived and selected a good place to eat our supper. an hour aml a half was spent playing baseball. This resulted in an easy victory for Miss Jewell's team over Miss Mattoon's. After a very enjoyable n1eal of hot dogs, rolls, lemon- ade, cake, and toasted marshmallows. we started home wishing we could have a picnic every day.. Leland Stevens, Room 6 May eleventh. a bunch of us boys thought it was time we went swimming. It seemed as if spring were never going to bring us warm weather. so we decided to go any- way, down to the old swimming hole. The weather was much more like l'hristmas than a day in May. and the water was very cold. lVe had a hard time to force outr- selves into the icy water, but after we were in. we had lots of fun. The best sport of all was splashing water on the shivei ing1 boys on shore. After we came out, we had to 1'un around for a half hour before we were warm enough to start for home. llemration Day we tried swimming again with a little more success, although it wasn't very warm then. Lee Ilurling. Room 1 The Library of Last Year Vs. This Year's Library The library of a school has much to do with the im- provement of the school work. Last year, on account of thc crowded condition which prevailed throughout the school. it was impossible to have 11 library. The hooks were in the cupboards along the side of the study hall and a table was in the front of the room for reference work. This was a very inconvenient way of getting hooks for reference. The library was opened only two nights a week so that hooks could be drawn for supplimenta-ry reading work. This year since the new Grammar school has been built. the High School is provided with an excellent library. with a librarian in clmnge. The library can be used any time during the day. Much better work can be accomplished because 1no1'e people can work in the library than in the small space which was provided in Study Hall. Many new books have been purchased and these with many gift. books, aid the students in securing a wider knowledge than before.
