Page Twenty-four TH E R E D A N D B L A C K . Commencement Number GLEE CLUB The Glee Clubs The Glee Clubs this year have exhibited their vocal excellence on several occasions. In fact, a striking phenomenon in regard to this was noticed down in room 10 one day. Outside, the windows and fire escape were lined with birds. Inside, both glee clubs were warbling merrily. Conclusion: the birds came to get a few pointers, of course. In April, the fifty singers of both glee clubs organized, electing Lucille O'Shea president, Margaret Jones vice- president, Dorothy Brooks secretary-treasurer and Dorothy Smith librarian. The concert, held in May, was a success, due chiefly to the varied character of the selections so ably chosen and directed by Miss Lawrence. Especially, did we like O Vic- torious People and The Blue Danube. The Glee Clubs were accompanied by Dorothy Brooks, who was also pianist in assembly, and very capable she was. Le Roy High Has Its Orators L. H. S. came out on top in the County Speaking Con- test held in Ingham Hall in April. Two of our speakers, Roy Bater and Erma McColl, won the first prizes for boys and girls. At the previous event, the Larkin Speaking Contest, these same two won the first prizes, while two more of our .i . orators, Eugene Morris, and Mildred Heffer, won second place among boys and girls respectively. In both cases, our representatives delivered orations of a non-emotional nature, which tests the speaker's ability to the utmost. ' The Honor Society We are glad that L. H. S. has added eight members to the New York Honor Society this year. Membership in this society at one time demanded only scholarship, but recently has been changed to include character, service and leader- ship. The dccisions are made by a two thirds vote of both the faculty and the senior class. At our last assembly, held June 6, Mr. Taylor presented the following eight seniors with honor pins: Gerald Cas- well, Delbert Ellison, Marguerite Hoy, Margaret Jones, Erma McColl, Eugene Morris, Richard White and Ellsworth Wil- son. We hope to have the same pleasure next year in the awarding of these pins. Essay Contest on Le Roy Industries An essay contest on Industries In Le Roy Before 1860 was recently held in Le Roy High School. Mr. Samson offered the sum of fifteen dollars to be awarded for the three best compositions, which were to be about five hund- red words in length, and written on one phase of industry.

They were defeated 7 to 4. AQUINAS-LE ROY Le Roy met its next rival, Aquinas Institute in Roch- ester. She made a poor showing against this smooth work- ing team which easily won 24-4. The assult of the city boys was terrific. They pounded four Le Roy pitchers from the mound before the game was ended but Le Roy managed to find the Rochester pitcher for a few hits which brought in some runs. PERRY-LE ROY The next game, which was lost after a heart breaking inning, was played in Perry. Le Roy got off to a good start by scoring two runs in the first inning, but could not some hold this advantage. In the fifth inning. through erratic fielding, Perry scored five runs which put the game on ice. Le Roy came back in this half of the fifth to score one run but could not overcome their opponents lead. The game ended 7-3 for Perry. CALEDONIA-LE ROY The first home game of the season was played with Caledonia, which resulted in another hard fought battle. The game, scheduled for seven innings, required eight. At the end of the seventh, the teams were dead-locked, 5-5. Caledonia added two more runs in their half of the eighth and held Le Roy scoreless. The game was the best of the season from the players point of view. AQUINAS-LE ROY Aquinas played a return game at Le Roy and again won, bygthe score of 14-5. Aquinas scored twelve runs in the first three innings but were held safely from then on. Le Roy staged a rally in the seventh but did not have the pep to put over enough runs to win the game. It was 'he fifth straight defeat for the Le Roy nine. PERRY--LE ROY Le Roy celebrated, by winning the next game from Perry by the score 10-7. This was Le Roy's first win of the year. Perry got off to a flying start when they scored three runs in the fourth and two in the fifth for a five run lead. In the seventh, the flreworlfs began. The Le Roy players pounded the ball to all parts of the deld and were not stopped until ten runs had crossed the plate :md three pitchers had seen service in the box. BATAVIA-LE ROY The first game of the series between Le Roy and Ba- tavia was played in Batavia and resulted in a 13-5 victory for the blue and white. The game furnished all kinds of baseball. As the score indicates, the game was very slow and uninteresting. Batavia's one big inning took the life out of the Le Roy team which went down fighting. CALEDONIA-LE ROY The second game with Caledonia was played at that place and resulted in another defeat for Le Roy. The game was a pitcher's duel from start to finish. Le Roy was able to score two men in the early inning and evidently thought that was enough, for in the last of the seventh the score stood Le Roy 2, Caledonia 0. After two were out Caledonia managed to score three runs which were sufficient to win the game. This was a heart breaking game to lose. BATAVIA-LE ROY The Batavia team played its second game of the series with Batavia at Le Roy. This game started out very badly for Le Roy. In the first five innings, Batavia had crossed the plate nine times while holding Le Roy scoreless. Le- Roy soon came to life and scored six runs in the sixth, two in the seventh, and one in the eighth to tie the score. In ' Roy played errorless ball and held Batavia the meantime, Le from scoring. In the first of the ninth, Batavia managed to put across the runs which decided the game after two In their part of the ninth, Le Roy set had been put out. out to win or die in the attempt. The first man got out but the next three filled the bases.

Junior Personals Yes, we do have a Junior Class and we have some mem- bers, too. Even if we couldn't have George Curtis, our president with us as much as we'd like, still we have his right hand lady C?J, Pearl Rossborough, our vice-president. We've kept Helen McKeon, our treasurer, busy with candy sales and a baked goods sale, which boosted our fund for next year's trip. With all our important meetings, Lynn Saulsbury, our secretary, is kept busy writing most of the time. What would we do without Mildred Howard to protect our colors in the class iights and Mary Kanaley, to sell our candy right and left? We can't help but think of next year when we'll be Seniors. We never could take the places of our present Seniors, but we'll do our best. We mean this, Seniors. and we wish you all kinds of luck. Seniors to Juniors A lonely figure in the hall Wipes 'way salt soaked tear, Then grits his teeth and locks the door- Schools over for the years. No longer can he bank the flres Or wastefully shovel on the coalg The terrible sadness of it all Enters his mind and scars his soul. Slowly through the halls he walks As one who is deaf and blind: Madly seeks he comfort And solace for his tortured mind. What is the cause of all this grief That so effects that noble man? Alas, 'tis this sad fact- Control yourself as best you can. School's over for another year, CPlease do not sigh and sob? And till it opens up again, Bill Shamp has lost his job. D. M.
