Z Ni A In an effort to introduce mothers, fathers and other people to a Le Roy High School wearing its workday clothes, the type of picture and material in the O-at-kan has been changed. 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.
