The reader can now look into Mr. GafTney's room and see him wearing a puzzled frown, or watch some boys in shop taking an automobile engine apart. He can practically see the music issuing from the open mouths of the Boys' Octet members, he thrills as he waits for Luther Johnston to catch that basket- ball speeding toward his outstretched hands. This yearbook is one of action, a true Inside Story of life in the high school. Because this publication is a story, the members of the staff, in order to coordinate the narrative, have called the various divisions chapters, and so have adhered to the central theme. In every good book there is an introductiong in every school a group of executives who have charge of activities. Therefore, by way of introduction to the school. the reader is first shown a glimpse of the board who makes the rules, with the help of Mr. Spry. After he has witnessed the innermost parts of school life, by turning a page the reader may catch an informal view of the teacher at work, read an account of the subjects taught, and perhaps get a glimpse of the instructor's own personality. Primarily, school is a place for learning, and this includes not only the mastery of English, mathe- matics, science. and the various other courses offer- ed, but the ability to meet and get along well with strange people. It is a place to acquire an accurate sense of values, high moral standards, safety con- sciousness, and thoughtfulness for the other fellow. One doesn't learn how to take a hard knock in the Home Economics class, nor does he learn to ap- preciate the fine arts in General Science. These traits must be acquired through other activities, and that is why Le Roy High School has such fine Music and Athletic Departments. The chorus, band, orchestra, glee clubs and octets, the various teams, are all a part of our inside story, a very integral chapter indeed. Some pupils don't care for either music or ath- letics. They can participate in something else. There is a school dramatics club, a student news- paper, the yearbook, Student Council, Debate Club, forum program-numerous opportunities for every boy and girl to enlarge his or her horizon, and thereby become a more cultured, useful, interesting member of society. By reading on farther into the book, every per- son can become more intimately acquainted with the school and its members. The O-at-kan staff, the faculty members, the students, everyone hopes that after each reader has studied these illuminating pages, he will more fully understand and appreciate the Inside Story of Le Roy High School.

And it is this same tive-foot, ten-inch man who advocated the purchase of a motion picture machine for the school, encouraged archery, advises the Seniors, practised marching with the band, attends all the school functions, helps train school orators, runs a summer camp, plays several musical instruments, and is vice- principal of the high school. Besides inspiring admiration through his athletic and social activities, Mr. Dayton's extraordinary store of knowledge covering numerous subjects, his willingness to help everyone, his intellectual curiosity, and his am- bition and vitality have inspired many students to a fuller life and greater achievements. Therefore, we of the class of nineteen-hundred and forty dedicate this O-at-kan to Mr. A. Warren Dayton, the personal friend of all who know him. V4 ifgfa c .

RICHARDSON l We all admire a man who does his duty, but are inspired to emulate one who does optional work as well. Mr. Richardson has served us all by substi- tuting a new type of yearbook for the traditional O-at-kan. lt has not been easy. Courage and en- durance were required to overcome oppositiong pa- tience and diplon1acy wiere necessary in gaining the approval and cooperation of the students. Mr. Rich- ardson met every need.

Our Board of Education . . . The guiding force of any American public school is its Board of Education. Servants of the state and directly accountable to the state, the members serve without remuneration, a proud fact of our American system. For here is no easy task in a democracy which entrusts its future to its education of the present. To this board is given the complete and final authority on all matters of the per- sonnel, policies, and philosophy of the school system in the town-a trust given by fellow townsmen in an open election, free from politics. VK-'e in Le Roy are especially fortunate in the servants which have been chosen. Seldom has a more intelligent, sincere, and broad-minded group been found. They are busy men, some of them spending much of their time outside Le Roy, yet many a business trip to Chicago, Boston, Rochester, and points east and west, has been cut short in order that a member of the board would not miss the monthly board meeting. At times the decisions made in these meetings run contrary to student opiniong at times we are jubilant wlith results. Through all, however, whether it be in the installation of lights on a football field, or in the choosing of an academic teacher, never has extravagant progressivism or bigoted conservatism supplanted their aim of educating boys and girls. X'Ve are proud of and grateful for our board. 1 ..,. if Superintendent Edward W. Spry In the years since our grandfathers went to school, the definition of a principal has changed from a man with a switch for bad boys to fear to the top execu- tive of a school, whose duty is to see that affairs are f run smoothly, efficiently, and for the good of the students. Mr. Spry, Superintendent of Schools and Principal of the High School, might easily be the man about whom the second deiinition was written, for in Le Roy, the students enjoy a real working democracy, in which everyone may take part. MISS HANSER MISS WOOD The Secretaries Why were you absent yesterday ? courteously asks Miss Hauser, Secretary of Child Accounting. To this query a student may answer verbally or with his written excuse. Miss NV ood, the other worker in the school office, is private secretary to Mr. Spry, and also finds her day well filled. It is the secretaries' duty to help carry out the school's program efiiciently, and because Miss Wood and Miss Hanser are capable our otiice runs smoothly. 9, E af' we PRINCIPAL RONALD E.

After a student has passed the 61-st two courses, Representation I and De- sign I, in which the fundamentals are mastered, he can advance to more complex work. There are several of these advanced students in the school, all of whom owe their skill and perfection of line to Miss Harrold's instruction. Le Roy High is fortunate in having an art teacher who can do such Fine work herself, and yet. teach others how to do a good job also. MUSIC -W VVhile sitting in study hall, one often hears distinctive noises Hlling the corridors, noises which label the source as room number ten. It is in said room that Mr. johnson makes musicians, or at least potential musicians of melody- minded students. Mr. johnson can leach one the mastery of almost any instrument, and the informality of his methods makes 'both group and private lessons extraordinarily enjoyable. Then too. there is a class in theory, in which students learn the funda- mentals of music, and seemingly spend their time beating rhythmically on chairs and books. I MR. JOHNSON IN MUSIC CLASS .. English .. Chairman of the English department, Mr. Richard- son teaches English IV and half of English III. One of the most important tasks of the senior is the writ- ing of his senior essay , a four thousand word effort which every senior must complete, and from which, among other things, he gains knowledge of the format of a book and an appreciation of scholarship.. The research for this essay is carried on in the library, where the aid of Miss Burton and Miss Fuess, li- brarians, is indispensable. Here, as in all departments, our library is a sine qua non. Mr. McRoberts, a new-comer to the faculty this year, has charge of teaching English to the freshmen students. The course includes the study of grammar, composition and literature in reasonable proportion. Mr. McRoberts also has a remedial reading class in which slow readers are taught to correct their prob- lems and to enjoy reading. Mrs. Balmer, mistress of room eight, who has taught in Le Roy schools for some time, is an inspir- ing and helpful teacher in her Sophomore English classes where a final check of grammar is made, oral work stressed and such literature as Shakespeare's Merchant of Venice is enjoyed. Mrs. Balmer shares the junior English classes with Mr. Richardson. Even though they change school buildings, the eighth graders find that the study of English isn't abolished. It is Miss Morrison's duty to teach Eng- lish to these eighth grade students, and prepare them for more advanced high school courses. Left: Miss Burton and Mr. Richardson in library. Right: Mr. McRoberts and Remedial Reading Class l MRS. BALMER MISS MORRISON Home Economics SEWING CLASS Home Economics is included in the curriculum of seventh and eighth grade students, but is an elective course for girls in high school. There are classes in which foods are studied and prepared in the kitcheng a second branch of the course offers instruction in elementary and advanced sewing, while a third di- vision is devoted to the study of children and how to care for them. Indicative of the large place that the Home Eco- nomics Department has been taking in school life is the winter noon cafeteria and Miss Messing's co- operation with the dramatics department in making costumes for the annual operetta and various plays. FITTING A DRESS School, a place in which boys and girls are prepared for later life, offers many courses from which the student derives no immediately noticeable benefit but Home Economics is different. A girl who learns to make an apron, bake a cake, or plan a meal, can apply her newly gained knowl- edge within a short time, and thereby live more healthfully, economically, and es- thetically. if if ,- COOKING CLASS Foreign Languages French Besides teaching Latin, Miss Burton instructs students in the mastery of the French language. Classes are usually filled with imperfectly pronounced phrases, such as Ie vais en ville, and time passes quickly while students receive rigorous drill in grammar and vocabu- lary, converse in French, -read French stories, and have periodic dictations, Before important holidays, French songs are sung, and frequently movies in that language are shown. Miss Burton's classes are fun. German VVie geht's? Wie beiinden Sie sich P Guten Morgan, es geht mir gut, danke Daily sentences like the above nonchalantly roll off the tongues of Mr. Copp's German students, filling rooms and corridors with foreign-sounding phrases Typical of foreign language classes, the period is spent in doing vocabulary and grammar drills, in speaking German, and in reading German stories. For variation of the dailv routine, the students have a weekly dictation, frequent comprehensive tests, and sing German songs Like most good teachers, Mr. Copp is versatile and can easily change from teaching German to reading Caesar and Cicero with his Latin classes Latin is also an interesting subject, and most students study it during their high school career. Mathematics MR. DAYTON MR. PERRONE MR. BURTON Mr. Burton, commonly known to most people as the basketball coach , has a more important job than teach- ing boys how to throw a ball through a hanging basket. He teaches General Math to the eighth grades. This subject is a combination of all the math courses offered, and presents the fundamental operations involved in each. General Math provides the student with a firm base in any field of mathematics which he might wish to enter. A student desiring to further his education along trigonometric lines would enroll in a class instructed by the versatile Mr. Dayton. Every pupil who studies either geometry or algebra gets an idea of the principles in- volved in trig and can do simple problems, but it is necessary to take a course dealing entirely with that one subject in order to fully understand it. Classes in which such a course is taught are small, because trigonometry is a specialized and rather difficult subject. Despite its lack of numbers, trig class is always interesting. One of the busiest math teachers in the school is Mr. Perrone, whose duty it is to teach plane geometry, solid geometry, intermediate algebra and advanced algebra. Classes slide along because of Mr. Perrone's method of fast talking, which seems to make the minutes fly. XVhat math course will you have? Mr. Burton, Mr. Dayton, or Mr. Perrone can surely fulfill your desire. They teach everything. in MR. HALL IN CHEMISTRY One of the most interesting and mysterious rooms in the entire school is the chemistry laboratory. The rows of bottles marked Poison seem to glower at one men- acingly, but to a person who likes and understands chem- istry, the liquids in those bottles are the most interesting things in the w.orld. Chemistry classes, presided over by Mr. Hall, and punctuated at intervals by comprehensive tests, are full of such words as atoms, molecules, elements, compounds, acids, bases, anhydrides and hygroscopicg and it is the understanding of such words and related terms that makes chemistry so interesting a subject. Most eighth grade students, before they study science, know that the earth revolves on its axis, but little do they guess upon first entering Mr. Seader's class in gen- eral science, that they will learn about eclipses, lightning, rain, horsepower, the law of gravity, and many other baffling mysteries of life. After having passed their course in general science, many students go on to the study of physics, also taught by Mr. Seader. In physics, as in the other science courses, the students learn facts applicable to present and later life. There is one more subject taught in the science de- partment of Le Roy High School-biology. Under the instruction of Mr. Hall, students learn the classification of plants and animals, and study evolution, soil, heredity, erosion, breeding and other phases of plant and animal life. VVhile studying biology, the student becomes close- ly associated with nature, and daily grows more appreci- ative of the forces that make the wheels go 'round. Science PHYSICS WITH MR. SEADER MR. HALL TEACHES BIOLOGY GENERAL SHOP METAL WORKERS IN CLASS WOOD WORKING CLASS Industrial Arts 3 'Q 'E When there's a banging and a pounding and the sound of humming machines, everyone in school knows that boys in shop are working to make this corner smooth, or that hole just the right size. The seventh, eighth and ninth grade students take shop as one of the subjects included in their curric- ulum. In these classes the boys work with wood and metal in preparation for later years when they may need to Fix the wheels that make the world go round. There are three advanced shop courses which are elective and may be taken by any second. third or fourth year boy. The first of these courses is General Shop, in which Mr. Howard teaches all branches of woodwork, jewelry making, ornamental iron work, forging, foundry work, metal spinning, the principles of electricity and telephonics, auto mechanics, and simple plumbing. Each boy picks out two or three things to do during the year, and concentrates his attention on these. A second elec- tive course. Industrial Arts II, is concerned only with woodworking, and students of this course learn to make chairs, tables. piano benches and other furniture equally difficult to assemble. The last course, Industrial Arts III. is given over to the use of metals. VVood carriers to be set in front of fireplaces. spun metal bowls, and many other metal articles are made by those who take up this course. For those who don't actually wish to work in the shop , two courses in Mechanical Drawing are offered. Each of the courses is one term in length and the boys are taught orthographic projection, working drawings, oblique and isometric drawing, sheet metal develop- ment, map-making, blue printing, architectural drafting, and other related subjects. Mr. Howard's shop courses are very popular and even girls are eager to learn the fundamentals of woodwork- ing and metal work. MR. HOWARD IN MECHANICAL DRAWING CLASS History and Social Studies There was a day when the knowledge gained in his- tory class seemed to have no practical use, but today every student aspires to know something of the history of mankind. Difficult political and economic problems perplex humanity, and the tragic happenings of the last few years have shown us the need for a common knowl- edge of the general facts of human history throughout the world. Switter means of communication have brought all men closer to one another for good or for evil. These are some of the interesting problems studied in American History class with Mr. Gaffney as instructor. The students thoroughly enjoy this course. For seniors and post graduate students there are offered advanced courses in sociology. economics, and government, also taught by Mr. Gaffney. lYorld l-listorv. which covers the whole span of his- tory from 500.000 B. C. to 1940 A. D., is a new course at LeRoy High School this year. Le Roy has the dis- tinction of being one ot' the First schools to introduce this course which is ably taught by Mr. Melanson. Mr. Melanson and Mr. Myers are co-workers in the Social Studies Department. Their program acquaints the younger students with the constitution, the machin- ery of our democratic government, and European gov- ernntents. Under Mr. Myers' guidance. considerable time .is spent in the study of vocations to awaken interest in a life goal and stimulate self analysis. To this end he has compiled a filing system containing information on many voca- tions. Individual conferences are held with students in all grades. Ninth grade students take ten week explora- tory courses which aid them in planning a complete pro- gram for their high school career. Such a plan leads to a purposeful high school career rather than a hit and miss selection of courses. MR. MYERS IN SOCIAL STUDIES CLASS MR. GAFFNEY IN HISTORY CLASS as. MR. GAFFNEY TEACHES ECONOMICS WORLD HISTORY CLASS WITH MR. MELANSON MR. PARKER MISS BOOTH IN BUSINESS HELPS CLASS TYPISTS TYPISTS COMMERCIAL CLASS WITH MR. BAKER Commercial Department There are three teachers of commercial subjects in Le Roy High School, all of whom are busy instructors in one or more subjects. Miss Booth teaches Type- writing, and Shorthand I and II, Mr. Parker Commercial Law, Bookkeeping I and II, Business Management, Salesmanship, and Introduction to Business, while Mr. Baker is the teacher of both Commercial Arithmetic and mathematics. Many of the high school students take one or more of the above-mentioned courses, in preparation for the time when it will be necessary for them to make a living in the outside world. Every year students in schools from several counties compete for prizes in the various commercial subjects. This year's contest was held in Akron, New York, and fifteen boys and girls from Le Roy enrolled in the event. Through the influence and negotiations of Mr. Parker, it was made possible for post graduates to compete, a thing not done before. The Le Roy students made a very fine show- ing, with the following prizes awarded them: Dorothy Grant won second prize in typewritingg jean W'ood received first prize in Shorthand Ig Rita Argana, sec- ond, and Mary Stephany, thirdg Robert Weller took first prize in Bookkeeping I and II and in Commercial Law, while Josephine Drayo received third prize in Bookkeeping II. Le Roy's connnercial department is a large, well-developed part of the school system, and attracts many out-of-town students because of its complete selection of commercial courses.

Mr. Myers and Miss Morrison act as class advisors. These students have taken their new position seriously, and are proud to attend Senior Assembly, sit in big study hall, and participate in the high school activities. The eighth graders are included in the Friday club program, and have already pre- sented a play in assembly, Bird's Christmas Carol . A progressive class of high scholastic average, the eight grade will bear watching in the future. Connor, front, Luttrell, Waddell, Panepento Freshman Class S gg S Dear Freshmen, As we observe your class, many vivid memories appear. It's not hard to remember embarking on our journey for the promised land-graduation. Xlie too had the world at our door, new subjects were given us to conquerg new standards were pre- sented for upholding, and new responsibilities were placed before us. The time for organization of the class was at hand. Leaders had to be chosen. Everyone was eager to gather all the knowledge his young mind could hold. A goal was before us and we had at last to put away all childish traits and don the cloak of highschoolhoocl. Oh, memories of that first leisurely year!

Perry Eunice Burt vice-president, and Charles Smith secretary and treasurer, all of whom work under the guidance of Miss Anne Messing and Mr. Walter McRoberts. It seems that the Freshman Class has enjoyed a large variety of activities during the year. Clubs, organized during the first semester, have met on Friday morning all year, and often one hears ham- mers being applied to fingers as well as wood in the Girls' Shop Club. The odor of burning food, issuing from the room in which the Boys' Bachelor Club meets, is a common occurrence, and whirling couples, practicing the Big Apple for the follow- ing week's Dancing Club, are a constant menace to near-sighted persons, working through the hall on the first floor. All through the week one can hear much freshman chatter about the Nature Study. Dramatics, Chess and Checkers, Camera and Boys' Tennis clubs. But club programs aren't the only frosh activities. A Hallowe'en party, an as- sembly Thanksgiving program in which Elizabeth Artman, Elsie Heddon, Caroline Howe, Sheldon Tygart and Dorothy Reinhart participated, along with a Forum program taken over by the freshmen who debated on European affairs, all deserve men- tion in this letter of memoirs. A We now ancient seniors, gazing at you freshmen with bewildered eyes, can only wonder if in the future Sheldon Tygart and Clifford Parton will outgrow their love of teasing the girls, and Eliza- beth Artman maintain her high scholastic record, if Rose Bovenzi's, Nancy Mearig's, and Rita M04 Elroy's skill in sewing will continue to growfg whether Robert McEwen and Francis McQuillen will still show exclusive knowledge of prank-playa ing 3 how soon Mary LaBour will shed her baby traitsg and lastly, we are asking whether Eunice Burt, Dorothy Henry and Oleta Calnan will, four years from now, still be the beauties of the class.' The time has come to close this epistle, and to say that every Senior sincerely hopes that the Freshman Class reaches heights of success before unknown, while spending as many happy days as this year's graduating class has done.

Each year Mrs. Balmer and Mr. Copp supervise the Sophomore Speaking Contest. This year they were pleasantly surprised at the widespread inter- est in the contest and the oratorical ability of some of the sophomores. Everyone enjoyed the speeches and pins were awarded to all the participants. Great interest in the weekly Forum has also been shown by the Sophomore Class. Several of its members have taken part in the programs, and some of them promise to be effective debaters in the future. Like all freshmen. the present Sophomore Class was ignored by the other classes during its first year. The frosh were exempt from many of the privileges the higher classes enjoyed, and felt left out. Now. because they have taken advantage o'f the opportunities offered them, the sophs have begun to be a real part of the Senior High School. and can be depended on to go far. The members of the class all have hopes and dreams of a bright future. and if they continue to cooperate and work hard. those dreams are sure to be realized. Good luck, sophomores!

At the beginning of the sophomore year however, the class organized under the leadership of Robert Daggs, with Earle Coleman as vice-president, Jayne Coleman as secretary, and Mary Jane Frost as treasurer. Mrs. Balmer and Mr. Copp, class ad- visors, gave valuable assistance, especially during the Sophomore Speaking Contest which was the Coleman, Spillane, James Green, Phillips Front row: Clark, Whiting, Brown, Comfort, Reamer, Ganlard, Scheg, Daggs, Babinski Second row: Goldstein, Shimburske, Levenstein, VanAlst, Cory, Lauer, D.

Alexander, Roblee highlight ot the class! second year. The group showed its business ability by obtaining' the check- room concession for the basket-ball games, before the other classes asl-:ed for the privilege. There was excellent representation in all extra-curricular ac- tivities and the scholastic records of the class's out- standing members were enviable. Headed by james Green, president, jayne Cole- man, vice-presidentg Helen Phillips. secretary, and Maurice Spillane, treasurer, the junior Class is completing an especially successful year. Miss Booth and Mr. Gaffney are acting as class advisors. and their assistance has been most welcome. The chief social event of the class was the junior Prom. The majority of this year's Larkin Speak- ing Contest prizes went to juniors, with Nancy Barone, Thelma Rudgers and Carmella Misiti cap- turing' :ill the g'irl's prizes and Robert Callahan plac- ing third in the hoy's division. The junior Frolic. a combined play, minstrel show, and dance,- was well received by the public. Phyllis Avery, Beatrice Levenstein. Mary jane Frost, Robert Daggs, and Farle Coleman were elected to the National Honor Society because of their outstanding scholastic achievements. Recently a singular honor came to the class when Gloria Munt was chosen to repre- sent Le Roy at the Apple Blossom Festival. The class has shown note-worthy school spirit in the management of the school paper and in the partici- pation in the Debate Club, musical and dramatic organizations, and sports. The juniors are already looking forward to the Senior year when they hope to prove their worth even more to the school and to the community. , ----- - - Front. row: Burrows, Walkley, Austin, Verney Second row: Weller, Davis, Wood, Gross, Johnston Back row: Craven, Arnold, Argana, Stephany, Gran t. Wirsing, Dermody Front row: Argana, Craven Back row: Walkley, Austin Post Graduates:-..-. Many of the younger students can only see the post graduate year as the last strand of educational bond- age which is shed with a light heart and no backward look. To those who know, it is the last year of high school, the end of which is regretfully acknowledged by the years and memories past. The class of thirty-nine was no more spectacular than preceding years had shown. Many after gradu- ation saw a better path to take than to return for a final year 5 others prolonged the departure and re- turned for a last year on a shaded green. The past year has seen the post graduate group a more active part of the student body than before. More interest has been shown in school activities and a high scholastic average has been maintained. And so it is with some slight pang of remorse that the class of thirty-nine steps forth into the maze of activity with hopes high, courage strong, and the teachings of our noble alma mater forever guiding.

The girls, like the boys, practice twice a week, and some of the pieces they perfected for the Spring Festival are Noon , In A Monastery Garden , Lift Thine Eyes , and Blue Are Her Eyes . The girls worked hard all year and shone when their turn came to perform. Not only boys are good enough to have an octet, for the girls have one too, and every XVednesday evening the eight members assemble to practice and enjoy themselves. The octet has sung in public several times during its two-year career, and can be expected to be heard from again in the future. Several of its members will graduate this June, so next year other girls will have a chance to display their vocal talents and bring the organization further prestige. 1st row: Webber, White, Bovenzi, Avery, Pangrazio, Burt, Peet 2nd row: Campbell, Ki-autwurst, Dowling, Daggs, Russell, Henry, Ball, Heddon, Calnan, Preisach 3rd row: Fitzgerald, Warne, Colette., Logan, Frost, Ferrara, Levenstein, Barone, Rudgers, Spillane, Peet, Artman.

Fvery Tuesday and Friday mornings the boys practice under the direction of Mr. johnson. in preparation for occasions when they will sing in public. The main incentive for so much rehearsal is the Annual Spring Music Festival. held in Oakfield this year. There, the musical organizations from the schools in several nearby counties met to sing separately. and finally, in a massed chorus. The Boys' Octet. a supplement to the glee club. was lirst organized last year. and is composed ot eight of the scho0l's best singers. These boys also sing in public on special occasions and enjoy themselves im- menselv. BOYS' OCTET Boys MR..

Preisach, Alexander Surrounded by his sisters and his cousins and his aunts , john Comfort, along with Henry Seager, Nancy Barone, Beatrice Levenstein, and the other members of the cast, sang and acted his way through two splendid performances of Gilbert and Sullivan's operetta His Majesty's Ship, Pinafore . The entire lirst semester of this school year was spent by the glee clubs in practicing the choral numbers in the operetta. Then came the actual rehearsals, at which, under the direction of Mr. johnson, assisted by Mr. McRoberts, the cast learned their spoken parts and their solos. Rehearsals were especially interesting while Nancy Barone, as Buttercup, was learning to slap XVilliam XVilson's cheek. Then too, the bevy of girls who followed John Comfort onto the stage at nrst looked rather queer as they walked down a springboard, then substituting for a gang- plank. Perhaps the most interesting thing to watch, however, was a group of gangly-legged boys trying to learn the Sailors' Hornpipe . It was really comical to see one of the befuddled youths try to raise both feet from the floor at the same time. Needless to say, though, the dance was finally mastered. There are few things more lovely than a beau- tifully sung solo. Beatrice Levenstein's rendition of Sorry Her Lot , and Henry Seager's lovely interpretation of Fair Moon to Thee I Sing , sent shivers of pleasure up and down the spines of many persons in the audience. Levenstein, Beadle XV e only hope that next year's operetta will be as well done as this year's was. H. M. S. Pinafore Orchestra On Thursday morning, when everyone feels sleepy and grumbles about going to assembly because he has so much home- work to do, itis a relief and a real pleasure to hear the orchestra, under the direction of Mr. johnson, play a familiar and refreshing piece. The orchestra is composed of thirty-five pieces, seventeen of which are string instruments, the balance being Woodwinds, horns and drums. The organization is not only for high school students, but includes advanced elementary school students also. g Much to every orchestra member's delight, two out-of-town trips mere made this year. The first was to the Teacher's Conven- tion in Rochester, held during October. The orchestra played at the convention, and was well received. The second trip, looked forward to and worked toward for weeks, was made to Oakheld, where the Annual Music Festival was held. Le Roy's orchestra played two numbers and honored the school by doing a fine piece of work indeed. Although many vacancies are being left in the organization at the end of this year, there are numerous musically-minded students ready to till the empty places and play the orchestra on to even greater success.

The band plays between the halves at football games, in assemblies, in parades, and at the Apple Blossom Festival. Under the direction of Mr. johnson, the band members have practiced faithfully every Tuesday and Thursday mornings, all year. The incentive for such faithful practice is the An- nual Music Festival, held this year in Oakneld. The Le Roy High School Band attended the festival, and had a chance to play, as well as hear the contributions of similar organizations from surrounding schools. Festival day is an important date for all the members of the music organizations, because it gives them a chance to meet new people, visit a new town, and perform before a highly appreciative audience. A second festival which the band mem- bers attend, is the Annual Apple Blossom DRUM MAJORS Festival, held in Batavia this year. The festival draws people from all over western New York State, and it is an honor for the band to play in the large parade of queens. The Le Roy High Band is a large, im- portant part of the school, and everyone is proud of it. CH PTER FIVE is I ,fl 1 J ' ' ,, - f I 42::i1'13gf-ffT?51A?2fV wif -. I vf' JJ w,...,.

The rest of this sentence is destined never to be heard, for while the student speaker was only half way through the word thousands, the dismissal bell rang, and a few minutes later most of the students were eating lunch. Such a lack of interest in the Forum pro- grams was evident during the first part of last year, but now Mr. Gaiiney wears a broad smile on Friday, because the student body is aware of the value of our weekly discussion and the programs are a success. Various topics of general and local in- terest, such as, Should the Voting Age Bc Lowered from Twenty-one to Eighteen F are debated. Many of the school's leading thinkers have taken part in heated discus- sions on Le Roy's platform, and some of them have had a chance to express their views in exchange programs with other schools. A more formal group, the O-at-kan Forensic Society, has concentrated on one problem: Should the Railroads Be Gov- ernmentally Qwned and Operated? and has engaged in several debates with similar societies from other towns. But more im- portant than the railroad problem, is the training in individual thought, speech and research that this organization offers its members.

THE O-AT-KAN STAFF AT WORK PRESS ROOM OF RED AND BLACK STAFF The Red. and Black NVith the addition of a private press room to its equipment, this year's Red and Black stall was enabled to work more quickly and efficientlv than had formerly been possible. Challenged to produce a better paper. the workers responded with three new around-school columns, a pop- ularity contest. a puzzle page, and illustrative cartoons. Interesting interviews of students and faculty members, along with student and guest editorials also added to the appeal of the paper. For several years Le Roy has had a school newspaper whose purpose has been to keep the students informed on topics of general and personal interest. Under the editorship of Nancy Barone, assisted by Mr. Richardson and Mr. Melanson. the Red and Black stat? has tried to fulfill the purpose of the paper and to provide interesting reading matter for the students. --99.49. .QQ-g.. .. The Student Counc11 The Student Council of Le Roy High School and of many other schools throughout the country. is a democratic organization. The Council in l..e Roy originated in the year 1928, and has since helped the students iunneasurably in gaining the ends desired. Technically, the Student Council is the school's governing body, but the meas- ures passed do have to be approved by the principal and the faculty advisor. This organization is made up of representatives from each hoine-room. The presi- dent and vice-president are elected from the Junior and Senior Classes, while the representatives are chosen by pop- ular vote in the various home-rooms. The vote for president is usually taken during the first or second week STUDENT COUNCIL IN ACTION of -the school year, and this year's Apresident, Robert I-Ioe, is serving his A - -- - 1 P second term. Backed by the sensible advice of Mr. Dayton, faculty advisor for the organization, the Council has passed many worthwhile measures. One of the most important steps ever taken by this group was the authorization of the purchase of a new, sound- equipped motion picture projector. Also, this fall, the Council wrote a new constitution for itself to replace the inadequate one originally drawn up.

Sophomore Speakers The Sophomore Speaking Contest, whose primary purpose is to provide speaking experience for those wish- ing to enter the Larkin Speaking Con- test later, was held Friday evening, March fifteenth, in the high school auditorium. The year's contest was the fifth event of its kind, and was under the direction of Mrs. Balmer and Mr. Copp, Sophomore advisors. The whole Sophomore class looked forward to Friday the fifteenth, be- cause this contest is the only project pla.ced entirely in the hands of the second-year students. Eight of the class's members contested for prizes in the event, with julia Brady and Francis Longhany first prize winners, and' Mary McCulley and Eugene Peterson, recipients of second prize. The winners were awarded gold pins. while all the other speakers received silver ones. Thus, once more, with the aid of faculty coaches and the class's two advisors. the Sophomores staged a successful speaking contest. Larkin Speaking Contest This year, on Friday evening, April 19, six girls and an equal number of boys, walked onto Le Roy High School's stage, with trembling knees, ready to take part in the annual Larkin Speaking Contest. Despite his fears, each one gave a credit- able performance, and the prizes awarded were as follows: first prize of ten dollars to Nancy Barone and Robert Humphrey, second prize of five dollars to Thelma Rud- gers and Jerome Brooksg third prize of two and one half dollars to Carmella Misiti and Robert Callahan. The speeches were interesting, the per- formers delightful, and the audience enjoy- ed themselves. All three factors of which combined to make the Larkin Speaking Contest a success once again.

Dramateurs It has been said that only one mental acquisition is recognized as a necessary part of the education of a lady or gentle- man, namely, an accurate and refined use of the mother tongue. One way for Le Roy High students to develop this art is to affiliate themselves with the Dramatics Club. The Dramatures have just complet- ed a second highly successful year under the very capable leadership of Mr. Mc- Roberts. Two programs have been presented by the club this year: one, a Christmas ,play, A Sign Unto You , during our assembly periodg the other three one-act playsg Objection Over-ruled , The Man and the Bowler Hat , and The Powers That Be , this spring. These plays were delightfully received by the audience. The officers of the Dramatics Club this year are: Gerald Platt, president, and Earle Coleman, vice-president. MISS BURTON MR. MC ROBERTS Standing: Edson, Fallon, Weller, Chapman, Argana Middle: Croft, Simms Sitting: Humphrey, Green, Wall-:ll Schell, Heddon, Davis National Honor Society Achievement deserves recognition, especially that type which is the product of long, steady hours, a thing as elusive as character and leadership. The award for outstanding scholarship, leadership, character, and ser- vice, is election to the National Honor Society. At present, there are thirty-one mem- bers in the Le Roy Chapter, sixteen of whom were elected this year. The very newest members: Phyllis Avery, Robert Daggs, Earle Coleman, Mary Jane Frost, Beatrice Levinstein, Caroline Luttrell, Mary Lois Rudgers, Dorothy Finn, Helen Citanovich and Charles Klinkbeil, were elected this spring, and are not shown in the picture. Miss Burton, faculty advisor, has spent much of her time in making this a useful as well as honorary organization. iiigili Q A M at 1 ' sg 1 44' ' 4 ga? if-,a 'Q I 'V i Q Wi' W 5' X L 'a 1 C 5 , 'Psi Ez Us Q H Z, ff ' 1 f fi-54 5 if 1 at . wal ' A -df, gh 22, ' ' .1 if I fig awk X N Q rs iii Back row: Burt, Sextone, Miller, Scheiber, Scheu, Winkleman, Willis, Rogers, Mortimer, Fiorito.

Phyllis Avery and treasurer, Martha Edson. as leaders. the Girls' Ath- letic Association has flourished this year. The organization has sponsored several Friday afternoon tea dances, and sent its mem- bers to playdays, held with girls from other schools. The as- s0ciation's success is undoubtedly due to the cooperation and in- terest of the girls, along with the foresight and guidance of the leaders. Although Le Roy High School used to have a Girls' Varsity Basketball Team, two years ago playdays were substituted in its place. At these gatherings of girls from two or three schools. relays and games are played. all topped olf by a very zealously played game of basketball. The girls are very jealous of their honor and try hard to win. After the game is over, supper is served by the Home Economics Department. and if there is a boys' basketball game after supper, the playday participants are admitted free of charge. These get togethers are helpful to the girls. as they learn to meet and get along with new people. The best thing about playdays though, is that they are good sport. Not every girl has a chance to play on school teams. and so there is competition between the classes in such sports as soccer, volleyball, basketball and baseball. The juniors and seniors have especially heated contests, and try hard to win. At the end of each year. those girls who have participated in numerous sports and earned letters. receive their awards. The highest award is a chenille, English L's. given only to girls who have earned two thousand points. This year Caroline Luttrell, Martha Edson. Edna Nl-'hitaker, jean Schell. and Margaret Ami XYillis are recipients of such letters. Our hats are off to them!

However, the players who did stand out consis- tently through the entire season were Pace and Pangrazio, huge tackles, Bliss at center and Orlando at guard. Close behind were Rowland, Hoe, Johnston, Croft, and Macaluso. all linesmen. In the backfield. diminutive johnny Barone was the chief ground- COACHES gainer, and Kibler with his line bucking and defensive work was also a menace to the opposition. Then too. Greg Love's re- markable punting, Carragher's passing, and Chapman's signal calling succeeded in pulling the team out of many holes. and sped it on toward victory. Most teams can be victorious if the weather is favorable, but the Le Roy warriors really proved their ability by being winners in all kinds of weather. The very first home game was played in a torrential downpour of rain on a sloppy, muddy field, which made the ball-handling very difficult indeed. Needless to say however, Le Roy's men ended the game undefeated, as always. Each year it is hard to get the team started because of the graduation of several of the important men. But next season it will be doubly difficult because of the large vacancy being left by Pace, Pangrazio, Orlando, Love, Bliss, Macaluso, Johnston, Hoe, Croft, Rowland, Carragher and Chapman. However, we're all expecting Coach to produce more good material next season to maintain our sensational record. The players were again rewarded for their work with sweat- ers, letters, and gold footballs. The lettermen this year were as follows: Donald Pangrazio and Charles Pace, co-captains, Greg- ory Love, james Orlando, Donald Rowland, Luther Johnston, Richard Croft, joseph Macaluso, Robert Hoe, Carlos Chapman, James Carragher, John Barone, Alfred Brown, WVendell Kibler, Robert Simms, and Mortimer Spiller, manager. Coach Reifsteck, Mr. Seader, and the team can all be proud of the record made in the last three years. The school is proud of the glory with which the team has covered itself, and is ex- pecting much of the same in the future. ' Q MR. DAYTON lst Row: Joy. R. Perry, O'Geen, Roblee, Leone 2nd Row: Alexander, L. Perry, Lee. Paladino, Kennedy .. Soccer .. This year's soccer team was organized under the direction of Mr. Dayton. The team was started to give boys not playing football a chance to partici- pate in some other sport. After many lively practice sessions, the team de- cided to match its skill against Bergen and Lima, and much to CVCl'yO1'lC,S surprise, was defeated both times. But the third game. held again with Lima, proved happily victorious for the Le Roy eleven, with a score of one to nothing. Tennis The tennis court is once more busy, as members of the school's tennis team constantly practice for coming matches. Competition is with Holley, Albion, Oakfield, Batavia, Perry and Medina. Mr. Myers is coach of the team, and under his instruction the boys are learning how to play really good tennis. Nxf Front: Clark. Wilson, Chapman, Comfort Back: Strobel, Kerwin, Daggs MR.

The going has been doubly dilhcult this year, first be- cause Coach Reifsteck had to build an almost completely new team. and secondly, because the cold, wet weather de- layed the starting of Held practice. Most of last season's players either graduated or are too old to play, so that now, john Barone, Charles Paganin and Tom Callahan are the only veterans on the team. Coach's biggest problem has been finding some good pitchers. This year's crop of beginners brought no one who could till the shoes of Pete Bliss and joe Macaluso, last year's strong pitching stall. Nevertheless, John Barone, Francis Longhany, Franklin Strobel, Allen Burrows, George' Burrell, and Ignatius Scott all have been trying their skill, and perhaps one of them will prove to be the long hoped for hurler. As yet there is no definite lineup, but the boys who have played so far this year are: Cyril Krebs, john Barone and jack O'Malley, basemeng Charles Paganin, shortstopg Harold Alexander and VVendell Kib- ler, catchers: with Tom Callahan, Mike Macaluso, and Manny Bolsie as fielders. XVith the boys out on the field doing their best, we can hope for a successful season.

So the cry rang out in West High after a wildly ex- cited Le Roy team had defeated Dansville. But wait. Let's start as we should. The Le Roy High School hoopsters, under the able coaching of Mr. Burton, en- joyed one of the best seasons in the history of the school. This success may be attrib- uted to the good fellowship and keen spirit of cooperation among all the players. The team lost only four games during the regular season, and these defeats seemed only to spur the team on to greater glory. In the Genesee-Orleans County contests, Le Roy's team finished first with seven wins and one defeat. The defeat was suffered at the hands of the Albion team, when Le Roy played a game without the aid of its captain, Pete Bliss. The two most im- portant games for the players and fans alike were those in which Le Roy and Batavia competed. For the second consecutive year, Batavia was defeated in two hotly con- Il I ll Let s Look at the Record ACTION IN DANSVILLE GAME Le Roy Opponents Le Roy Opponents 19 Scottsville 22 32 Holley 24 37 West High 35 23 Churchvllle 39 CRochesterJ 31 Medina 21 44 Holley 32 45 Batavia 34 29 Medina 21 27 Churchville 29 33 Scottsvllle 23 32 Oakfleld 22 41 Batavia 34 42 Albion 17 45 Oakfleld 33 61 Lyons 27 23 Albion 36 27 Corning 31 tested games. Although two or three players did most of the scoring, the team was successful only because of its co- operation in all situations. This year, the dream of Le Roy's quintet came true. The boys were able to participate in the sectional play-offs of section V, at the Palaestra of the University of Rochester. After coming out iirst in the league, the team went on to win the quarter tinals, playing against Dansville at NVest High School in Roch- ester. The gymnasium was crowded with fans, armed with noise-makers in- tended to cheer the respective teams on to victory. The score at the end of the game was Le Roy 29, Dansville 15. The team functioned so well in the Le Roy- llansville game that the latter was held scoreless during the first and third per- iods. Q The next week Le Roy's team was picked to play against Corning Free Academy, last year's champs and the linal winners this season. Before three thousand cheering fans, the Le Roy quintet was defeated 31 to 27 by a more experienced team. The following night conditions were reversed. After a busy day in Rochester, a tired but determined Le Roy team tiled onto the floor, ready to play against the highly-lauded Lyons quintet. It was to be the last game for Captain Pete Bliss, Johnston, Carragher and Chapman, who badly wanted to win, and with the able support of john Bar- one, win they did. By running up a one- sided score of 61 to 27, the boys ended the season. and eventful basketball car- eers in a blaze of glory. At the end of the year letters were awarded to Bliss, Carragher, Barone, Chapman, Johnston, Callahan, Macaluso, Hoe, Miceli and Cravotta. CARRAGHER IN AIR. JOHNSTON OUT-JUMPS TWO LYONS PLAYERS IN SECTIONALS The . Gym Team COACH REIFSTECK ' It may safely be said that this year's gym team, under Captain Henry Seager, with veterans Selden, Carmichael, Kibler, Kennedy, and others assisting, was one of the best ever produced in Le Roy. Besides performing before audiences in several nearby high schools, for town fraternal organizations and at the Physical Education Demonstration, the team was invited to give an exhibition during the sectional basketball tournament in Rochester. The boys performed before three thousand, five hundred people at the University of Rochester Palaestra, and occasioned much praise and many favorable comments with their well-executed gymnastics. Our applause goes to Coach Reifsteck and all the boys who worked so hard, and we can all be sure that next year's gym team will be bigger and better, if such a thing is possible. lst row: Colle, Selden, Roblee, Paladino, L.

Before trying their skill on the field, the boys practice in the gymnasium, and the biggest day for newcomers is the one on which they first go out to the stadium and are given their equipment. On the whole, Le Roy has a good team, entering into competition against such schools as Perry, Attica and Medina, and last year showed well at the sectionals. Everyone can't be on the varsity team, and so at the end of the season, one clay is given over to competition between the classes. When the big day arrives, the field is brightly dotted with excited young girls and anxious boys, all cheering for their class- mates. The interclass track meet is always an exciting event, and is looked forward to by a great many of the students.
