The door stands open . . . behind us we have the guidance and training of our years at school? before us we have the faith in the future we learned there. The Oatkan of 1944 seeks to show the important role the school has played in helping to make the boys and girls of today the men and women of to- morrow. To them we dedicate this book . . ii.

XX JAMES BALDWIN President THOMAS SHAUGHNESSY Vice-president THOMAS KEMP Treasurer ELAINE BROOKS, VIRGINIA HILL Secretary THE SENIGRS OF 1944 LOOK BACK june 1944-at long last another Senior Class walks out the door after tour years ot headaches, heart- aches, and fun. Vile were Freshmen but we were a progressive class, and proud. Those first forty weeks are dim-no doubt we were ignored by upper classmen as a bunch of giggling youngsters. 1942-Mschool carried on under wartime restrictions, but the tame of the Sophomore Class could not be rationed. Led by our ofhcers -Tom Shaughnessy, president, Dorothy Lapp, vice-presidentg Virginia Hill, secretary - and Mrs. Balmer and Mr, Copp, our advisors, we gained the confidence we needed to keep going. Wle sponsored dances and other activities which gave us experience valuable in '43 and !44. Up the ladder we went. VV'isely we elected Lena Argana president. -lim Baldwin vice-president, and Virginia Hill secretary, again! This was a year to be remembered. First the Junior Prom-completely successful in spite of a proht of ten cents! To remedy this situation. plans were shaped for a square dance, and what a bankroll we had when the excitement subsided! Student Council elections came, and Lena Argana carried oi? the presidency with Jim Baldwin close be- hind. On to '44. One by one we lost five of our classmates to Uncle Sam, who will be proud of his gain we know. Misers that we are, we eyed our failing bank account and began a magazine campaign that kept everyone busy but pleased our treasurer. Next came the Senior Ball-a wonderful dance. Formals drift- ed across the Hoor and the scent of roses and gardenias lilled the air, creating a romantic mood for quiet dancing to the strains of Mike Ellingham's band. Looking back, the class has had a substantial and useful part in everything going on. Graduation ' its way, soon most ol us will scatter, but our class will always be well worth rememberino' ' and peppy group who owe more than they know to their school and teacher' whose humor and understanding will linger with us, and whose world we are about to face. is on g as an enthusiastic s, and especially to Mr. Bennett, common sense will be a lesson to us all in the 0-ng., .

Mancuso Here come the juniors! Truly they have had a busy year, a year in which there was at least one junior participant in every ac- tivity oifered by the school. They have shone in these activities, too. The music department has featured Barb Beadle and Eunice Langeg there have been actors and speakersg the juniors have been active in the glee clubs, some even going to the music festival at Alexander. They have done their part in the Student Council, talked down the Seniors in the forensic socieiy, and worked hard on the Red and Black. And you will remember, too, the thrilling plays in basketball by our athletes, Abe Machols and 'I ack Fagan. So much for the ups of the junior Class. lVhat about the downs. XYell, they've had them, too. There was that little matter of the empty treasury, but by good planning and hard work they produced a gala swing contest and junior Frolie that made up for a nice, but prolitless, -lunior Prom. Those term papers were hard to complete, but the class finally came through. and Miss De Voe is happy again. It seemed diflieult to keep VVar Stamp pledges, and we did 1101 win the Christmas decoration competition, but the juniors have weathered the storm, thanks in great part to our two eliss advisors, Miss De Voe and Mr. Smith, and are looking forward to becoming the best senior class Le Roy has ever known.

Janssen, P. Ganley, R. Janssen This past school year the class of '46 has moved more and more into the limelight of L. H. S. Although overshadowed by the juniors and Seniors, their activities have been extensive, and the Sophs have really proved themselves a very capable class. Under the leadership of their officers, elected at the first class meeting in September, the school year proved very profitable. Also elected in September, the Student Council representatives, Ralph Janssen tRoom 23p and Ed. Scanlon fRoom 2-lj showed themselves ardent champions of sophomore rights. The first enterprise undertaken by the class was the sale of pop at the basketball games. This project added a nice sum to the treasury. During February the Sophs gave their big dance. It was planned around a patriotic theme and was a definite financial success. The class received a great deal of support and excellent advice from its faculty ad- visors, Mrs. Ivy Balmer and Miss Evelyn Fortmiller. In March the annual Sophomore Speaking Contest was held, nine girls and five boys taking part. The program required a great deal of work on the part of the contestants, but it was a great experience for them and brought them untold benefits in poise and confidence. The class was well represented in the various school activities, such as Red and Black, band. orchestra, glee clubs, dramatics, and in athletics. All in all '43 and '44 have been fine years for the class of '46, which will undoubtedly prove itself to be one of the best classes ever to leave Le Roy High School. X .

The Freshman Class, under the skillful guidance of Miss Marian A. Kettle and Mr. 'loseph Mangefrida, has already shown its ability to elect capable student leaders headed by john Sullivan. The Class of '47 worked hard in excellent cooperation to make a howling success of their 'Bring 'em in Gingham and Swing 'em dance, which, by the way, contributed a goodly sum to their treasury. They also handled efficiently the check room used during the Talk of the Month Club meetings. ' During the Friday Victory Corps period they accomplished much which will be helpful during the years to come by practising the fundamentals of parlamentary procedure and brushing up on manners and courtesy. They have discussed ways of improving the daily attendance at school and the general behaviour of the students. Good talent shows have been put on, and the class seems to be headed for a very successful high school career.

This group is made up of a President and Vice-President elected from the junior-Senior Classes in the Spring, and representatives elected by the popular vote of the homerooms in the Fall. The Student Council is, technically, the school's governing body. However, all measures passed must be approved by the principal and faculty advisors. The Student Council must pass on all dances and parties given by the classes and is in charge of planning assemblies. This year it has been active in all school affairs. It sponsored a scrap paper drive that netted thirty-nine tons-way above expectations. The money received from this drive initiated a new fund, the Student Activities Fund, which is used to help bankrupt classes and which also makes possible the purchase of new things needed for the good of the students. One of these was a nickelodeon which has increased the number of dances held this year and has provided hours of fun in the gym at noon. StudentwCouncil..niaintains-a.

The Student Council is doing its part in preparing our students to be good citizens. It teaches them responsibility. reliability, leadership, and democratic methods, these are the principles we will need in the world of tomorrow. ' V x NATIONAL I-IGNOR SOCIETY Good citizenship today means good citizens tomorrow, and the National llonor Society has that as its aim. This society stands for scholarship, leadership, character. and service. and these all together spell citizenship. Its tnembers are the school's linest representatives. -luniors and Seniors only are admitted to membership in this Honor Society, and they are chosen twice a year on the qualities listed above by a committee of teachers. Not more than fifteen percent of the Senior Class and not more than tive percent of the .lnniors may belong. Twice each year the ceremonial robes are shaken OLII and the new members are solemnly initiated. The program usually consists of short talks by various members and an inspirational message by a guest speaker, This year for the initiation of quite a group of -luniors. the Seniors gave a series of short biographical sketches of great and famous people. For the last two years our chapter of the National Honor Society has acted as the executive committee of the Yictory Corps which is training the boys and girls of today physically and emotionally to he strong and stable. XYith Miss Mildred Burton as their advisor and -lackie Knoll as president, the Society has done much to inspire the students towards a better citizenship in the school and in the world.

Many of the Junior and Senior boys participated in military drill. Through the open windows one could hear the regular timing of the troops as they marched across the campus under the direction of a student leader.

Clark First period Monday and Wiednesday. pupils with shiny instruments take their places in the auditoriumg at 8 :45, Mrs, Renison raises her baton and band rehearsal begins. This colorful organization with its snappy. red uniforms has added much to the school life of L. H. S. The efforts of its 50 members have paid divi- dends, and they are looked upon as a musical group of outstanding ability. Stirring marches and well-planned formations at the home football games did much to build up school spirit and cheer the team on to victory. ln November, a group of students traveled to East Aurora to take part in the All-State Band. adding even more glory to the organization. Soloists and musical groups from the band took part in the Alexander Competition Festival in May. Doug Sturm and his baritone horn and the drum ensemble were selected to go to Rochester for the State competition. i ' . ' . . Q l l , The annual School Music Festival found the band playing a difficult rendition of selections from Show- boatf' and Mrs. Renison's endless endeavors were fully appreciated. Jim Baldwin, president of the organi- zation. acted as student director for the VVashington Post march. These are the highlights of the band's career this year, but we must not forget the assembly programs to which they have so successfully contributed. Cooperation and patience have been outstanding qualities of this group and ones that they can use throughout life. They have enjoyed, too, the experience of contributingi each according to his talents, tb a musical whole.

Since then. untler the able leadership and unfailing patience of the music director. Mrs. Renison. Le Roy has developed an orchestra of which it can be proud. its activities are few but none-the-less important. This year. due to circumstances brought about by the war. the orchestra did not go to the annual Music Festival. Instead. several members representing it traveled to East .-Xurora, New York, where the All-State Orchestra met. Among these were Betty Crocker and Ellen Skinner with their violins. In May, Alexander was host to surrounding schools at its Spring Festival. Mr. Francis Diers of Fre- donia State College was present to judge the various numbers, including a violin solo by Ellen Skinner. The full orchestra made its debut at the Spring Concert presented by the music organization of the school for the benelit of the Red Cross. It gave a creditable performance, rendering several interesting se- lections- To Yictorvn March, Chorale and Ferns and Flowers. XYe of the orchestra feel that there is much to be gained by learning to play together as a unit, to follow directions. and to heed the old precept practice makes perfect. First row: E. Skinner, B.

Sturm The play's the thing has been the theme of the Dramatics Club this year under the direction of Miss Rosemary Gourley. ' The Club began the term with the election of new officers: jean Luttrell as president, Connie Fallon as secretary, and Bob Mooney as treasurer. The first play was presented during National Education Wfeek and brought out the fact that education, in war or in peace, gives us a foundation on which to build our lives. Elwood Lawrence played the young soldier who comes back after death to tell his teacher, Ruth Connor, what the things he had learned in school meant to him when he was alone on the battlefield and death walked beside him. At Christmas time the Club produced a one act play, No Room in the Hotel. This was a modern version of the age old Christmas story which emphasizes its message of brotherly love regardless of race and religion. Some of the members of the cast were Carl Hutchinson and Ellen Skinner who played a homeless foreign couple, jimmy Arrington as the homesick little bell boy, Leonard Iannello the senator, Julia Hunter the kindly scrubwoman, and .Toe Antinore as the reporter. A full schedule of other activities kept dramatic productions at a minimum, but the performances that were given were well done and officers, members, and Miss Gourley are to be congratulated. fa A 11c1f1-1--111-.iam 1a...N- ,,.,, , 1' 0-1'f1 4 f.- ff . ,- ,TC UVIQS l Iis llocld 11x'.xt'1x'1'11 l .... lll'.l.l'.X--NXI1111111115 ....... .

Football scene-objectz everyone must get knocked somewhere. .-Xnd they cer- tainly didl By this time Miss Gourley didn't look quite so worried. The blueprint scene ran smoothly until lack of blueprints was discovered. Tom nonchalantly walked off-stage after them, leaving Shirley to sit gazing at the aud- ience. Rip-Jim-mosquitoes.

This does not mean it breezed through, for competition was keen. but hard work and good training under Coaches Wfalsh and Appfeford and cooperation from all concerned culminated in victory. Le Roy copped the Genesee Orleans A League crown and went on to the sectionals, defeating Perry in the quarter-finals but losing to a tall Brighton team in the semi-finals. 9 LE ROY IN ACTIGN A hot August day fountl l.e Roy-'s prospt-ctit'e gridiron stars out lor con- ditioning Ilnd training in the intricacies of the l'ot'tmttiott untlt-r t'n:tch litl Walsh, ably seconded hy lt-or Smith.

All credit to Bruce Smith for leading his Reserves through an undefeated- untied season, twice heating Caledonia by one point. Intramurals ran ratupant this year with Ned Mortimer's wolves leading the pack. Lack of a regular coach for the spring term threw baseball on hl oe Mange- frida's shoulders. The start was slow but none-the-less encouraging in view of the nutnber of rookies on the lineup. 'lack Kanaley, .-Xbe Machols and Pinky Snyder were the nucleus of the squad. Ed Grosenbeck had the job of whipping the track team into shape No meets have been held at this writing, but the prospects are promising. Miss XX'olek walked into a tnan-sized job when she took over the boys' gytn clsses.

The officers chosen were: President, Lena A. Argana and Vice-President, Ruth Munt. Miss XVolek soon had shin guards and hockey sticks out of stor- age, but after a bit of knocking about, the teams decided on soccer. Many girls showed up for the intramural games after school. Soon Old Man XVinter appeared and away the girls marched to find a volleyball net awaiting them in the gym. The climax of the season was the Volleyball Playday in which 11 majority of the girls participated in some measure. Playing host to ten schools, the ingenuity of the girls was displayed in their novel invitation, unique decorations for the luncheon, and the efficient orglnization of the playday. Basketball soon became very popular as was evident in the large number of girls on teams. LEADERS' CLUB First row: L. M. Farrand, G. Munt, R. Scott, J. Knoll, W. Smith Second row: L. O'Connor, R.
