C ofzgmtulafzbm' CHOLARSHIP is but the foundation on which to bulld success. We congratulate the graduates on the good foundation represented by their diplomas. As they launch out into the business or professional world may the years come to them laden with golden opportunities: and may they be prepared to make the most of each opportunity. There is no preparatlon as substantial as a growing bank account, for while lt is building a ready-cash fund it fs also developing thrltt, character and u. standlng ln banking circles that ls often a greater asset than the money banked.

So many in this group, and so many over there, all are my dearest friends. Yet if I were sick, if I should meet with some accident, or if some disgrace should befall me, how many of these so considered friends would remain loyal and do all in their power to comfort, cheer and console me? Some would say, Oh, well, I can't be bothered with that person since no one else likes her, or I am not going to spend all my time with her when she is ill, or She has become so poor, I shall not waste my time with her. If a churn is a true friend, he will not desert us in time of poverty, misfortune and sickness, he will not fail to do all he can to help us through some of the more diflicult passes of life, and he will never sneer at us. The true friend, who is our companion in good luck and happy times, will also be our companion at any depressing time. Therefore, if we consider ourselves the true friend of someone, let us not forget our duty at all times. R. Walker '29, A Helping Hand Now that it is time for the Seniors to leave the school which has done so much for them through the four years that they have been in high school, they begin to think of things which they would like to do again. If they could have the opportunity, they would improve a great number of them. Time, however, can never be recalled, so the best that the Seniors can do is to help others to proit by their mistakes. If each new Freshman would set himself to work with a will at the very beginning, he would accustom himself to it soon and it would become a habit. Perhaps they will think that studying is a grind . It is, when you have a lot of it to do in a few minutes, but if you spend all of your time in school to good advantage, not fooling, and an hour at home, you will find that you can prepare your work well. Of course, there are subjects that are hard for all of us. Those are the studies which we dislike and on which we spend the least amount of time. We must do them well, however, before we can possibly master them. The iirst two and a half years in high school is the time to work. The last year and a half is the time to play a little. If you are used to getting low marks in three of your four subjects, try getting high ones for a change and see how much better you feel about it. None of us like to take advice, so for you Freshmen, or Freshmen-to-be, who read this, don't read it as advice but merely as a little help from one who knows. V. Olmsted '28 Dreams I planted three small dreams today In a corner of my heartg Two rosy ones where shadows play, And a wee white one apart. I set them in a sunny place Where little cool thoughts blow And left them such a lot of space They can not help but grow. Commencement time is here! To many it means the fulfillment of their fondest dreams, to others it is merely a stepping stone into that larger dream, of college. Have the dreams you planted when you first thought of life, education and pleasure grown? You were the ones who made those dreams grow. Did you give them enough space to develop into the real thing? You must have! Now you are graduating, life is merely starting. Plant some more dreams and cherish them dearly so that some day you may make a name for yourself, Le Roy, and dear old L. H. S. I Page Four THE RED AND BL A C K Commencement Number would say more here, but I feel that my words would be a drop in the bucket. The words of this little poem are worth studying, and convey all that I have been trying, so poorly, to say. E. M. P. '29. A Gift During this age of industry and commerce the right kind of a man is hard to find. Everything, which is pro- gressing so rapidly, causes us to overlook a willing spirit. We want honest men! Men, who are honest with them- selves as well as with parents, friends, and everyday com- rades. A young man, who was attending college, was chosen as a member of a fraternity having low ideals. When that boy foresaw what he would become if he remained at the institution, he left! On arriving in his home town, he took his problem to an understanding friend telling all the true facts of the case, stating he would not go back. The friend found that this lad had another college in mind to which he went in a short time. His previous relations with fra- ternities made him choose carefully and wisely. Because that boy was honest, first with himself and then his friend, he made a man of himself. Today he is a success in the business world respected by his fellow men. James Edward Hungerford through his inspiring poem, Wanted: Men has put forward the right idea. There's the chap with can't, And the chap with the Won't, And the chap who's betwixt, more or less. There's the chap with the aye, When it ought to be nay, And the no, when it ought to be yes ! There's the chap who's too weak To get up, when he's down, And stays beaten, and weakly cries quit. And the chap who bobs up, When he ought to stay down- And the chap who does nothing but sit! There's the chap who is brave, And he's nothing to fear, And the chap who's afraid without shame: But the world wanting men Has no patience with these- What it wants is the fellow- dead game! What it wants is the chap With the can, and the will, And the Get Up and hustle and dog And the chap who comes back, With a smile on his face, When the world thinks he's beaten clean thru'! The chap who'11 come back, When he knows he is wrong, And the chap who'l1 stand pat when he's right! And the chap who'l1 keep faith, When he pledges his word- And will back up his stand with a fight! The chap who forever Puts right over wrong, And honor o'er riches and fame- Ah, he is the chap That the wor1d's looking for- The trustworthy fellow- dead game ! P. R., '28.

Salutatory To you who have experienced all but the last hop in winging your flight o'er life's airway, our wiigspread may seem scanty, our motors underpowered. You have a great cruising radius. To you forced landings are but slight interruptions in a long iiight. Your skilled hands have successfully met the tailspin Adversity , the exigency of being out of fuel. Fitting it is that you, who have enabled us to build our craft, to fuel them, to tune them up for the first leg of our flight, should be present at our take-off into the unknown. Poised for iiight with idling engines, we now await the last words of advice. To you, who will strain to glimpse once more the vanishing specks on the sky- route to experience, we extend a hearty welcome. Alfred Decker. Valedictory Tonight I have the pleasure of saying a few words to and for the companions who have made our school life here a joy as well as a benefit. In behalf of the class of 1928, I sincerely thank the Board of Education, our Super- intendent, Mr. Taylor, the Faculty, and the citizens of Le- Roy for making possible the opportunities which have been ours in Le Roy High School. , Classmates: We are about to enter a new room, a new stage of life. Under the guidance of our teachers we have spent four happy, worth-while years in this smaller room. We have explored every corner and have profited greatly by that experience. Now the door is closing behind us, leaving the past to us only in memory. We can never again enter this room of high school hopes, work, and aspiration. We shall go various ways in life. Some of us will continue our edu- cation in schools and collegesg others will go on in the great school of the world. But, although we shall never enter this familiar room again, our life here will be a guide-post pointing the way to all that is fine and good in the future. Let us so work and live in this greater room of life that we may make our teachers and our school proud of us in the days to come. And, as we say farewell to our Alma Mater, let us make this our creed: I would be true for there are those that trust meg I would be pure, for there are those who carey I would be strong for there is much to sufferg I would be brave for there is much to dare. I would be friend of all-the foe-the friendless I would be giving and forget the giftg I would be humble for I know my weakness: I would look up, and laugh, and love, and lift. Janet McPherson. History of the Class of '28 The history of this remarkable Senior class will be re- corded in the annals of the school. Our members, whether in this school or another, through the grades and High School, have worked intently for their goal. The customary color battles waged between the Junior and Senior classes, from which more people emerged the worse for appearance and general feeling, this year were not entered by the Seniors. Because of the elimination of these savage strug- gles, the peace-loving Seniors have established a firmer friendship with our Junior friends. Organization, which is happily looked forward to in the last two years of High School, binds the class into a compact body. As Juniors with George Curtis, President: Pearl Rossborough, vice-president: Lynn Saulsbury, secre- tryg and Helen McKeon, treasurer, advised by Mr. Sey- fert, we were a happy and honorable class, proud of our colors, purple and gold. Our Senior year, which has passed much too rapidly, finds us a straight-forward, honest, and reliable group of students. When the class organized about the second week of February, the thirty-nine members elect- ed Joe Paolone to fill the ofiice of the presidency, Pearl Rossborough, vice-presidentg Merton Sperry, secretaryg and Edward Howard, treasurerg choosing Miss Connor as our advisor and Miss Combs as assistant advisory our colors, light green and silver: the tea rose as our flower, Vou1oir c'est pouvoir iwhere there's a will, there's a way? as our motto, we were determined to make our Alma Mater proud of the class of '28. This class has always had the knack of making money. Conducting many enterprises to expand the amount in our treasury, we can truthfully say that no undertaking was a failure. A baked food sale, from which we reaped a neat sum, through the kindness of Mr. Hudson and Mr. Wade, was held in their store during our Junior year. Two splen- did movies The Girl From Chicago, and The Dress Parade added to our nest-egg. As we always seized the opportunity to make money, we conducted candy sales at the evening Chautauqua. The Senior Ball, a. glorious event-, was held in the school gymnasium May fourth. Who could ever forget The Mummy and the Mumps, our famous comedy of three acts presented in Ingham Hall, February 23rd and 24th? The amount received from the Senior Ball and play was seven hundred and fifty dollars, bringing our whole sum up to seventeen hundred dollars. After the work came the play, the Washington trip! That will be an experience forever remembered by the thirty-five who had the pleasure of seeing Philadelphia, Annapolis. Atlantic City and Washington. The party, chaperoned by Miss Connor, left Le Roy April sixth and returned April fourteenth. While the train clicked along to the time of Freddie Deck- er's banjo, the LeRoyans were singing songs of the past and present times. Since everyone was bound to have a good time, we were amply rewarded. The Seniors have shown talent along various lines. This year, which marks without a doubt the highest point that the musical work has reached, owes much to members of our class who were so willing to cooperate with Miss Wu- son. When the orchestra was organized, being the first successful attempt since 1910, Alfred Decker, Charles and Clayton Ingles, Ralph Rubens, and Mildred Howard, made T H E R E D A N D B L A C K Commencement Number Page Nine up an important part of it. If you attended the Glee Club concert you observed many more Seniors doing their share. Alfred Decker, manager of the football team, kept it busy playing with other good teams. Ray Dugan, our honorable captain, with the squirre1's tail flying from the top of his cap, led his team to victory in the Le Roy-Batavia game. Joe Paolone, as manager of the basketball team, booked up some very interesting games. It might be said here that the Junior and Senior boys held a basketball game in which the Seniors were the winners ias of course they would be.J Captain Paolone of the baseball team pitched a wicked ball for Eddie Howard to catch. Pat McMahon's red head was one bright spot on the diamond even when everything else looked dark. The speaking contest work that is arous- ing more interest each year brought the Seniors interested in oratory into the limelight. Six Seniors out of the nine who were selected in the local contest, carried away four of the six places awarded in the Batavia contest held there this year. Eddie Howard took first and Freddie Decker third, of the boys. Harriet Emmick second, and Pearl Rossborough third, of the girls. No one who came to our Senior Play, The Mummy and the Mumps, can deny that Susan Walker was a typical Agatha Laidlaw, founder of the most exclusive girls' school, or that Marguerite Hutch- ins, Virginia Olmsted, Myrtle Roblee and Harriett Emmick deserve the name of first class actresses. Eddie I-Ioward's title as the best ever is not disputed. Freddie Decker's Eng- lish brogue still is with him and Joe Paolone has won his Mahon has remained his aunt's obedient nephew while Ma- Mahon has remianed his aunt's abedient nephew while Ma- son Bradley has stopped trying to be someone else. This class has made its name stand out honorably among all the graduating classes and it is not through setting high standards for others to follow. After all is said and done, the Senior class of '28 is the best ever, firmly believ- ing in Vouloir c'est pouvoirf' Last Will and Testament We, the Graduating Class of the Le Roy High School, Town of Le Roy, County of Genesee, State of New York. being of sound minds, disposing memories, and having a great amount of understanding, do hereby make, publish, and declare this to be our last Will and Testament, hereby revoking all former wills, codicils, and bequests of whatever nature.

Onward, onward let us press To find what is real happiness, And wing our flight to a higher clime, To live a noble life sublime. Charles C. Ingles, '28. C Page Ten T H E R E D A N D B L A C K Commencement Number Prophecy Buffalo or Williamsville and get back next day as best they can. We leave him starting with another ill-fated I, the greatest oracle of all time, the oracle of Amon-ra., have been called from my tomb in the far away Egyptian Pyramids to exercise my powers in behalf of the supremely magnificient Senior Class of 1928 of Le Roy High School. I am the supreme being in the land of oracles, I am the final word in all predictions. I am the inventor of the art of predicting futures. I am the oracle of Amon-ra. In past years I have allowed my understudies and lesser subjects to do the work at all times. This year that mysterious power, the influence of the gods, has impelled me to officiate here in their behalf. The sacred smoke of my profession will reveal the secrets of the past and future to my mighty powers. I already feel the powers working. The trance is coming soon. The World fades from my vision. I see it again twenty years from now. I see-a form emerging from the realms of the super- natural. It is a man. It is the president of the Senior Class, Joseph Paolone. He is a baseball player. He is captain and short-stop on the New York Yankee's ball club. He is a valuable player. In his spare time he runs the nation as president. He is a bachelor but the choice is his own. A new form emerges. It is the Honorable Vice-Presi- dent of the L. H. S. Senior Class of 1928. She is a charac- ter in herself. She is now taking life easy in a little flat. the rickety old Ford in the basement. She They keep handles the situation rather neatly. There is no question as to who's boss. Her partner is a person of few words. Pearl is no longer a vice-president, she plays the first fiddle now. So we leave her fiddling away as she fades from sight. I see Merton Sperry, the secretary, busily mending a tire. It's not the old Ford tire. Itis an airplane tire. Mer- ton is an aviator. He likes the clouds because they're free enough to permit one-hand driving. He is tired though so we leave him struggling with the tire while someone waits in the plane. The next subject is the exalted treasurer, Edward How- ard. Poor fellow, he's in the insane asylum. He always bragged about being the tightest man in town. He lost his mind trying to invent ways to make the all mighty dollar go farther. He is harmless but his case is incurable. We leave him working on his latest patent, a dollar stretcher. Big Bill Allen now occupies the center of the picture. She has reached her proper level at last. She always want- ed to be a boy. She said someone made a mistake so she's a male impersonator. Her act is the hit of the vaudeville season. She makes a better man than she did a girl. Lena Corcimiglia is one of the greatest characters in literature. Her name is renowned all, round the world. Her poems rank even greater than those of Burns, Shakespeare and Milton. Her stories are the rage of the day. Even her writings radiate the unsupressable joy that is an essential part of her make-up. I see her writing as she fades from sight. A rattly old Ford grinds into view. Mason Bradley is at the wheel of this vehicle. He is running a one way taxi service. His hack will carry people to Buffalo, but it won't bring them back. His patrons stay overnight in loadgto Buffalo. , ,, , , I see a tailoress entering the picture. It's Lena Hut- ton. Her specialty is 'mending holes in men's coat pockets. She can sew other things too, but she can't be bettered at this specialty of her's. ' Katherine Kelly is managing a five-and-ten cent store in Medina. She is not alone though so she doesn't worry. The business, especially male, of the organization has in- creased perceptably since she consented to allie her lot with the store. She is waiting on a bashful boy as she fades from view. What, a butcher grraces my talents. A tall handsome meat carver is passing out bologna. to a blushing young wife. A sign over the door, Finn and Curtis, explains the identity of the bologna peddler. He is an artist in his line. His motto is, Our Meats Satisfy. We leave him slicing off another generous portion of the above mentioned delicacy. Doris Barnard is a school teacher. The poor children have dubbed her Caesar because her teaching is Greek to them, but arithmetic to the examiners. The reign of terror is in vogue. The girl has' always had ideas as to how children should be ruled. She is trying on other people's prides and hopes to demonstrate her theories. As she fades from sight another trembling urchin who failed to pllace a decimal right goes slowly to the desk to receive his punishment and return broken in spirit to his seat. Sam Alessi is working on the corporation. I see him seated on his pick waiting for the noon whistle. For' the last half hour he has been afraid to lift the pick for an- other stroke for fear the whistle might blow before he could complete the stroke. Just as the vision fades the whistle blows and Sam is the first one off the job. Winifred Caswell races into View in her private car. The chauffeur stops the truck and Winnie comes to earth. The fat lady of the circus sure has some job finding transporta- tion facilities. The railroads and truck lines refused her carriage until the Interstate Commerce Commission at Washington took up the matter. So Winnie now rides in state in a comfortable, especially constructed truck. Marguerite Hutchins is still living in Le Roy. Bud makes the dough and she kneads it. They own a little love-nest on South street. Bud works every day and Marg keeps him home nights. This girl is some woman. She can cook like nobody's business. Her meals are famous all over L. R. She is baking rye bread now. Bud comes home for supper and-well, this is a good time to let the picture fade. Big-hearted Dugan enters as a football player. He has gray hair but he still plays his favorite game. He is a minister. He preaches football on Sunday morning and plays on Sunday afternoon. We leave him falling over the line for a touchdown. I see another figure emerging from the smoke. It's Virginia Olmsted. She has a pencil and a notebook. She is a society reporter on one of New York's largest news- papers. She has a way of getting her man. No news escapes her 510,000 a year eye. We leave her reporting the latest divorce scandal on Wall street. Eleanor Mac Kenzie is still a farmer girl. She is round and healthy. She goes to the dance at Pavilion Center Commencement Number T H E R E D A N D B L A fl K P-age Eleven every week. Frank still calls for her in the same Ford at the same time every night. Last night must have been her night oil for she sure looks tired. We must leave her milking the old cow with the crooked horn. Myrt Roblee dances into the picture. She still goes to a dance seven nights every week. Her collection of pins and rings is increasing fast. She has filled two trunks and is now working on the third. She has a new beau each week. She should have been a Morman. We see her opening her trunk and then she dances out of sight. I now take up the case of Katherine Brown. She sits back of a desk and listens to the music of a cash register. The place is Lal1y's Old Tavern. She owns the joint now. She's got a little dough tucked away in her sock too. The single men about town sure are nice to her. As we leave her, three men flips coins in the oflice and then two leave just as she comes tripping downstairs all dressed for the theatre. Charles Ingles is a big man in Rochester now. He has a hard time finding clothes large enough to fit him. He is an organist in Eastman's Theatre. He is the idol of theatre goers. The way he burns up that organ is the envy of all other would-be members of the Organists' Union. He plays for celebraties in his off time. We-leave him wedging his generous frame in behind the organ while an open-mouthed audience waits spell-bound for the first note. Margaret Bryce is now teaching cooking school in Pav- ilion. Her graduates are sought after by the single men for miles around. She keeps a waiting list for the benefit of her pupils. Her star pupils look over the list and select their own position. The lawyers, doctors and merchants iight publicaly to obtain the service of her pupils. As we leave her, she is administering first aid to a beginners first attempt at bread making. Who is the happy smiling nurse in the center of the picture? It's Vida Gleber. Happy-go-lucky Vida. She is still the little ray of sunshine. No wonder her patients recover quickly. A ready wit and an over-developed sense a humor make fame such as hers a rare event. All begin- ners look up to her and take her as ,an ideal nurse. We leave her smiling a patient into good health. I see another plump little girl flitting down the hall of fame. Mary Welsh is raising flowers. She owns and op- erates the largest greenhouse in the United States. Her flowers go all over the world. The U. S. pays her a regular salary to attend all internaticnal floral exhibitions and meet- ings with samples of her art. Creations such as her's are the aim of all foreign floral experts. As the picture dims she is gloating over her latest accomplishment. She calls it a blushing bride but the experts call it Welsh special D, 10,782-C. Paul Fennell is working on the railroad. He is boss of the B. R. 85 P. Section gang. His headquarters are in Le- Roy. He is the toughest guy in town. The bad men go home when they see him coming down the street. The railroad officials leave the settlement of all strikes to him when he goes on the job, the strikers go back to work. His own gang of men hold him in high esteem and all work willingly. I see him, as the smoke clouds form over the picture, placing a huge rail, which twelve men have just failed to lift, on the ties as though it were a tooth-pick. I see a pugilist shadow boxing. It is Miss Mildred Howard, woman's heavy weight champion of the world. She packs a wicked wallop. When she skips the rope, she fastens two five hundred pound weights on the rope for exercise. Her mascot, she says it's at dog, but the experts are in doubt as to its origin, watches her with expectant eyes. He knows that dinner comes after the rope skipping and shadow boxing. She fades from view just after smash- ing the shadow a swift one on the chin. Frances MacDowell has the easiest time of them all. She is the best exhibit in Barnum and Bailey's twelve ring circus. Thin people are to be found everywhere, but Frances is the only real human skeleton in existence. She is so thin that people are afraid to touch her for fehr she will break in two. Yesterday they thought she had lost an arm but when they looked for it with a magnifying glass, they found she had lain on it as she slept and shut off the circu- lation. It appeared again after a vigorous rubbing. We leave Frances just cleaning up her seventeenth plate of meat and potato in an effort to take on weight. Clayton Ingles is a hlappy old bachelor. As a boy he never had a girl and never wanted one. He lives in a little house on a big farm. Clayton takes a day now and then to go to New York City and help Ziegfleld pick his chorus for the coming year. We leave him trying to decide be- tween two beauties for the last place in the line. Mary Kanaley is married and living in Le Roy. James Jr. is a fine young boy but his social activities keeps his father always paying bills. Mary says he's the cause of her grey hairs. Mary is a bum cook though. Her family eats dispepsia tablets like candy. The boarders demand a rake oil' on their indigestion pills from the Drug Store. They buy them by the hundred pound lots. Freddie Decker is a hermit. Virginia jilted him so he hid away in the woods to pine and sigh. He lives on a ledge down at Buttermilk Falls. Tourists keep away from him, because rumor has it that he's looking for a new suit of clothes. We leave him stalking an innocent victim in a new palm beach outiit. I see an architect drawing plans. There she holds them off at arm's length to view them. She adds a touch here and there. There never was a more particuhar person on earth. Her drawings, however, are in demand all over at any price. Harriett Emmick is the toast of builders all over the world. She sure knows her pencils. I see her fading from view as she adds the final touch to Pa 31,000,000 set of plans. Susan Walker is a school teacher. She teaches in Mount Morris. The town there thinks no teacher ever approached her. The pupils rejoice in her classes. She is the most popular married woman in Mount Morrisl Her husband washes the dishes land does other house work so Suzy can teach. I see her marking papers as she fades from view. Schimley is now jailor at Williamsville. He spent a night there once and liked the place. Stella Smith is the bulwark of a nation. In school she was the bulwark of the Senior class. Now she sure is a big figure in politics. We leave her addressing Congress. Thomas McMahon is a team mate of Pao1one's. He fills Gehrigs' shoes even better than Gehrig himself. He has a hundred and twenty-seven home runs to date this Page Twelve T II E R E D A N D B L A C K Commencement Number season. This is four better than last season's record: at the corresponding time. Few balls go through first with him on the job. We leave Pat making a brilliant catch of a long foul. He stands on the fence and jumps for the ball. Oh, he has it. Good-by Pat you won that game and with it the world's series. Jessie McAnn is a blacksmith. She shoes army mules. A mule kicked her yesterday and broke his leg. Helen McKeon is peddling papers for a living. She has a stand at the corner of Main and Clay streets. Everyone buys her papers because her smile goes with every pur- chase. We leave her making change. Ralph Rubens is the conductor of a huge Symphony Orchestra. In his spare time he plays a cornet for diver- sion. There is no one who can touch him in either branch. Ralph plays for the president twice a year. I see him play- ing his way into greater fame as the picture fades. Who is this editor? It's Janet McPherson. She prints the newspaper that Helen sells. Her scandal sheet is the envy of publishers all over the country. Her sport page sells her paper-Cthat is, her sport page and Helen's smile.J We leave her writing up the national convention of the Re- publican party. It was held at Le Roy this year. Lynn Saulsbury owns the Insulator Plant now. He makes high pressure insulators. He is his own salesman. No one else can satisfy. I see him fading as he completes a new million dollar sale. There is one more person who must come in for a share of my powers. Pardon me, two persons. Miss Combs is no longer Miss, she's Mrs. She named her children Cicero and Demosthenes. She lives in Batavia. Miss Connor is still teaching English in LeRoy High School. May she never cease. I have prophesied. I, the great prophet of Amon-ra, never fail. As I have said, so shall it be. I now return to my tomb, never to be disturbed again. No other prophecy will ever be important enough to again call me forth. Amon-ra bids you beware lest you put obstacles in the way of his saying. For, if you do so, I will call down the wrath of the sun upon your heads. As I leave you, I see my prophecies coming true. Edward Howard. Final Days The final school days are the busiest and the happiest. Ask any Senior! First, comes Class Night, a time of fun and frolic, on June twenty-second, Friday night. The class picnic at Silver Lake on the following day is another joyous occasion. Then comes the more sombre part of commencement week, baccalaureate service on June twenty-fourth, Sunday night. The speaker at this time will be Rev. Spencer B. Owens, pastor of the Methodist Church. Last but not least, commencement night, ending our school days, arrives. The speakers on this occasion will be Janet McPherson, Valedictoriang Alfred Decker, Salutator- iang and Professor Tilroe of Syracuse University. The diplomas will be awarded by Mr. Taylor. '28. The Epic of the Senior Class The epic is a mighty poem with a. very noble theme. There is much of the supernatural element, and there is also the Cause.

We thank them for the patience which they have shown in guiding us through our high school work. Often they must have been ready and willing to let us go our own merry way but then refrained, realizing what was ahead of us. Now that we are farther along, we appreciate what they have done for us and we shall do our best to show them that the effort was worth-while. It is gratifying that so many of our faculty have chosen to be with us for another year. We shall gladly welcome them back next fall. Those who are leaving us are: Mr. Taylor, Miss Hyde, Miss Wilson, Miss Wood, Miss Frey, Miss Otis and Mr. Hager. Faculty Notes At a party given by Miss Combs at her home in Ba- tavia on Monday evening, May 21, the guests were pleasantly surprised by the announcement of the engagement of Miss Wood to Mr. Wilfred Batchelder of Syracuse. At the same time, in honor of the members of the high school faculty leaving Le Roy in June,-Mrs. Taylor, Misses Melvin, Frey, Wood, Otis and Hyde, were presented parting gifts. Misses Sanderson, Calvert, Crellin and Clapper enter- tained the faculty at dinner and bridge at the Rock Garden in Batavia on Tuesday evening, May 22. Prizes were won by the Misses Combs, Bitter and Jacks. On Monday evening, May 28 Miss Otis entertained at dinner followed by a theatre party in Rochester in honor of Miss Wood. On Wednesday evening, June 6, the faculty had dinner at the Applewood . In the program following the com- mittee in charge were very clever in presenting Mr. Taylor with a farewell gift. They presented a humorous personality rating of several members of the faculty with the award, a Cogswell chair, given to Mr. Taylor. Thursday, May twenty-fourth, we had an assembly of especially fine character. Mr. Taylor read us a commenda- tion from the State Department of Music on the work of Page sixteen T H E R E D A N D B L A 0 K Commencement Number our Glee Club, after which he said the Glee Clubs and Orchestra members were to be awarded pins, but on ac- count of sense of modesty on their part they had received them before and declined to come on the platform at that time. Joseph Paolone then took the platform, in behalf of the students, and presented Mr. Taylor with a gold wrist watch in recognition and as a remembrance of his accomplishments during the years spent here. Edward Howard, our gifted orator, gave two readings The Courier by 0'Henry and The Water-pipe. E. M. P. '29. These School Clocks Thank heaven I'm not a school clock. The little one with a rather scared expression on its face is fastened high up in the front of the room with no chance of escape. Children pile into the room, regard it, and groan. It hears the teacher scold and sees the children frown. They cast, longing, anxious glances toward it. Then these glances change to frowns! Little clock has to keep right on that slow drudging pace. A bell rings. The children regard the clock with a smile. At last something is right, but, the teacher spoils it all! She regards the poor thing with a frown. Even that, grinding pace was too fast, to suit her. Our poor clock is once more downcast. It certainly is im- possible to please this queer world! So, from day to day, our little friend looks down upon us and we never stop to think that even he certainly leads a dog's life! Here's How How are you? Have you that depressed feeling that overshadows any pleasure or task that is calling? It can be worked off. Yes, it can be worked off. Let's begin. First, loosen the muscles of your jaw. That's it! Now slowly but surely let your mouth widen into a grin. There, you have it, the key that opens the door to the garden of pleasant labor and living. That gloom that prevaded your world is making an exit, n'est-ce pas? Yes, and isn't it fun to see everyone respond happily and easily to your smile. A great thing- a smile! L. Corcimiglia '28. Farewell to Thee After four long years of working From which I was often shirking My high school life is nearly o'er With added years-a happy score Of my long and lonesome life Not all of which was free from strife. Ne'er shall I forget those days Of fun and frolic, Senior plays Scoldings, anger, smile or frown All left behind, as the sun goes down. I hail thee school of mine Producer staunch of students fine May I live up to thy high standing Always honor clear commanding. In years to come we hope' each class Its predecessors may surpass And honor all that left before Through the generous open door Good-bye until we meet again We go to meet life's sunshine and rain. In all the years that are to be Nearby or even beyond the sea I never, never, shall forget Or ever remember with regret The days I've spent in this dear place Alert to win in Knowledge's race To keep ahead of -Father Time Journeying through a weary clime With stones and ruts to mar our path And thorns and briars our sides to scath Dear L. H. S. I'l1 love thee more Even than in happy days of yore. ' s. W. 'za AMBITIONS OF SOME OF OUR TEACHERS Miss Hartley: To invent an automatic excuse writer. Mr. Seyfert: To throw a few out of the Window. Miss Connor: To have no studying for one minute. Miss Bitter: To get rid of two or three Seniors the sixth period. Miss Combs: To typewrite. Miss Barber: To have no more fine lists. Miss Sears: To pass educational exams. Mrs. Balmer: To have lots of fun. Mr. Hager: To employ a dictaphone. L. H. S's. Astronomer Can you beat it? Perched upon a, massive table, window flung open, dark as pitch save for the moonbeams, knickers, a cocked eye, sat our distinguished mathematical genius, and Copernicus's close second, Mr. Seyfert, peering with open mouth at the most romantic heavenly body, the moon, through a toy telescope, which was elevated high upon an egg crate. No doubt exists but what he was alone at the time, yet suspicion arises as to the reason why he should have so located himself in our chemistry room. Well, curiosity, no doubt, was the base or cause. Why one should think otherwise, that is, believe that some force other than curiosity was the cause, well, everyone is free to think as he so likes. How long the observation lasted, or when it began, I do not know, for I merely happened to catch him in the act. Perhaps he was trying to locate where light Went to when a light goes out.

As a result of continued rehearsals, the Glee clubs pre- sented their annual concert in May, and it was a decided success. From this organization, Miss Wilson created a double-mixed quartet, and a double male quartet. We liked especially well the Belle of St. Mary's and t'She Wiltedf' It was possible for many of the members to receive credit for graduation, The accompanist for the concert and assembly is Miss Frey. Miss Wilson hopes to present an operetta for the con- cert next year. A Foreigner As Speaker On Thursday, June 7, the high school faculty and students had the pleasure of listening to Mr. Wtdorsuciewicz, of Poland, speak. Mr. Wtdorsuciewicz is a Polish oliicer who has traveled in several foreign countries and is at present traveling in the United States. Although he cannot speak English as well as most of us, he'did remarkably well so that we could understand what he had to tell us. He told of instances of his life in the oppressed country of Poland during the World War. Remark was also made of the ap- CLUB preciation of the work of the United States in Poland. Other messages concerned the states of Poland and their capitols and some of the important industries. He spoke with pride about the salt mines and the beautiful building of crystal salt. With remarkable rapidity of speech. he mentioned all the cities of the diilerent states in which he has travelled in this country. On this long list were Spokane, Washington: Bismark, South Dakotag and Pitts- burg, Pennsylvania. His speech, combined with the music rendered by the orchestra, made a very enjoyable assembly. This was the last assembly of the school year and one which will make us all look forward to those of next year. R.. F. W. '29. Last Assembly The last and one of the best assemblies of the year was held June fourteenth. The orchestra favored us with a selection. Falling Leaves. Letters were awarded by Mr. Duffner to eight members of the basketball squad: Gerald Caswell, Captain, Simeon Mc Kernan, Floyd Dickenson, Cal- vin Derrick, Tony Eppolito, Thomas Scott, Ledro Price, and Manager Joseph Paolone. During the last few minutes Mr. Taylor delivered a farewell speech. The assembly closed with the singing of the Loyalty Song. Page Eighteen T H E R E D A N D B L A CV' K Commencement Number HIGH SCHOOL ORCHESTRA Assemblies in L. H. S. Every Thursday afternoon the visitor can hear one student call to another, Assembly today? If an affirma- tive answer is forthcoming, all is well, but if negative, an almost audible groan can be heard. Our assemblies are weekly becoming more popular under the direction of Miss Wilson, the music teacher. Since our school has been aug- mented by a fine school orchestra, everyone seems to get more enjoyment out of the half-hour every Thursday. The student body does many and varied things at these gather- ings. We sing, listen to a good speaker, or sometimes are audiences to a short play, At intervals Miss Wilson turns over the whole time to the Athletic Association. We readily take advantage of this kindness, as the afore- mentioned visitor will testify. So you can see now why assemblies are in favor and are growing more popular each week, More power to them! May we have many more! T. McMahon. , L. H. S. Band Le Roy High School has again taken a step toward fame by the organization of a student band consisting of about forty boys and girls from the Wolcott street school and the High School. The band is under the supervision of bandmaster, John W. Surra of Hornell, and Miss Celia Wilson, Supervisor of Music in the Le Roy High school. The band was started in January and although it has only rehearsed once a week for six months, it has left the amateur stage far in the rear. The problem of secur- ing instruments was solved by the McClellan Music House of Buffalo, an organization which makes a business of renting instruments to the students of the school wherein a band is to be organized. Mr. Surra comes to Le Roy every Thursday and conducts a rehearsal of about two hours. He will continue to come through the summer, but instead of having a rehearsal of the entire band, he will give les- sons both to classes and individual members. Extra hard work on the part of the individuals of the band will be stressed so that the band may raise its standard of playing next fall. In the fall the band will journey to Avon where it will compete with other Western New York high school bands for a pennant. So professional has the band grown in the last six months that last Friday night, in Ingham Hall, an excel- lent concert was presented by the band. About three hun- dred people constituted the well pleased audience who went home feeling they had witnessed an almost unbelievable achievement. The band was a glorious sight, assembled on the stage in white uniforms, and its program of brisk marches, novelties, and serenades was equally as glorious. Unfortunately, the band is lacking of the larger horns including Basses, Baritones, French horns and Trombones, but this problem has been very easily solved by the gener- osity of the members of the old Le Roy Band who have consented to lend to worthy boys or girls the horns which they desire to play, free of charge, with the exception of the small fee of 50c for each lesson they take. Any student who wishes to play any of the above instruments should place his application in the hands of Miss Wilson imme- diately. Friday noon, June 15th, the band met for the election of officers. The following members received election: Presi- dent, Simeon McKernang vice-president, Harry Claussg sec- retary, Aileen Ellinghamg and treasurer, Calvin Derrick. Later. live trustees and a business manager are to be elected for the purpose of securing out-of-town dates for band con- certs.

We are proud to have a high school library to help us. Have we ever thought, however, how interesting it would be to have a library of our own? William Lyon Phelps, Professor of English literature at Yale University says: A borrowed book is like a guest in the houseg it must be treated with punctiliousness, with a certain considerate formality. But your own books be- long to you: you treat them with that affectionate intimacy that annihilates formality. Everyone should begin collecting a private library in youth. One should have one's own book shelves, which should not have doors, glass Windows, or keysg they should be free and accessible to the hand as well as to the eye. There are, of course, no friends like living, breathing, corporeal men and women. But book friends have this ad- vantage over living friendsg you can enjoy the most truly aristrocratic society in the world and whenever you want it. You can at any moment converse with Socrates or Shakespeare or Carlyle or Dumas or Dickins or Shaw or Barrie or Galsworthy. And there is no doubt that in these books you see these men at their best. Remember that for the price of one ticket to an ephemereal entertainment, you can secure a book that will give strength and leisure to your mind all your life. Life itself will teach you many things, but your own existence can be only the smallest segment of the great arc of existence. Good books will open to you revealing glimpses of the past, help you to interpret the present, and show you visions of the future.

Choose your books as carefully as you choose your most intimate friends. You will find no more lasting friends than your books. As there is one for every purpose, always have some near you. When you are tired, it will rest you: when you are discouraged, it will cheer you: when you are sorrowful, it will comfort you. A good book, The precious life blood of a master-spirit, will never desert you. It is an oaken staff upon which you may lean along the road of life. There is nothing in the World that will give you more lasting pleasure than a good book, if you use it well. . D. B. '28, Page Twenty T II E' If E D A N D B L A C' K Commencement Number FOOTBALL TEAM Football The football season of 1927 leaves bright memories in the minds of L. H. students. Coach Duffner proved his worth in the results of the season's games. The student body showed its interest by the number of aspirants that turned out. Eight games were played. Springville, Cale- donia, Medina and Batavia bowed to defeat at our hands. Webster tied with us. Especially sweet was the victory over Batavia who had done altogether too much crowing. A lighting spirit in the team won this victory. Basketball The season of 1927-28 in basketball was not all that we would like. Certain it is that our team did its best. This year we entered a basketball league. We almost got a look at the pennant, but had to give way to the more experienced Attica team. Victory was ours over Warsaw twice, St. Marys and Perry. If the defeats suffered at Batavia's hands rankle in your noble breast, remember what happened to them in football! 1 BASKETBALL TEAM LIMA-LE ROY Commencement Number 'T U E R E D A N D B L A I' K Page TWemy'0f1C BASEBALL TEAM The Baseball Season SHORTSVILLE-Le ROY Le Roy's first rival of the season was Shortsville. The team got off to a wonderful start, the score being 6 and 2 in our favor when the game was called at the end of the second inning because of rain. Game called off because of snowstorm. AQUINAS-LE ROY On May the 12th, Le Roy journeyed to Rochester, where they met defeat at the hands of the-Aquinas team by a score of 13 to 1. A home run by Si McKernan scored the only run for LeRoy. ROCHESTER-LE ROY The first home game was with the Rochester School of Commerce on Friday, May 25. A large crowd turned out to see Si receive his second homer of the season. We met defeat 16-4 which made four defeats for the team. ROCHESTER-LE ROY Monroe High of Rochester was our next rival on the home diamond. The team fought a hard game only to lose 6 to 1. Derrick struck out eleven men which helped to hold the Rochester nine down. AQUINAS-LE ROY The Aquinas played their return game here on June 2. The home team gave them a better iight than the previous game at Rochester. The score was Aquinas 13 and Le Roy 4. A Freshman's Logic Nothing is better than a Senior. A Freshman is better than nothing. Therefore, a Freshman is better than a Senior. Generous? We'll Say So! At the time of the Le Roy-Batavia Basketball game, the business section of Le Roy displayed great generosity in helping the High School in many ways. Among the most generous was the Heaman Clothing Company, who helped in making up the uniforms of the cheer leaders by making gifts of different articles to us. We therefore feel a desire to show our appreciation for the Heaman Clothing Com- pany's generosity. The Cheer-Leaders.

The treasury, the main stay of any organization, is in the capable hands of Harry Clauss. With such a quartette leading, is it any wonder we startled the faculty, students, and alumni by introducing a new inovation.
