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

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,

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.
