It would be difficult to find a better illustration of democracy in action than that given by the chart on the right. From the citizens of Le Roy, those governed, is derived the right of the various people and groups to formulate the policies by which both the community and the school will function. A further look will serve to convince the reader that this school and this community are not two separate interests but that each is a part of the other and that each exists for the other. The community provides and sustains the school. Able men to administer the school, conscientious and devoted faculty mem- bers, our fine new buildings, the materials with which the school system is operated, transportation to outlying areas-all these and countless other things does the community provide. But most important, it provides the desire to have its youth educated and given every opportunity for future success. The school in turn provides the type of educated, trained citizen who will prove an asset to Le Roy and who, having assimi- lated the democratic traditions found here, will in later years take his place as a leader and productive member of our community. x f 'x f' 'N f' 'x f' 'x f' 'x f' M :AQ QQ .M :M M ,Na

THE COMMUNITY GUIDES US BOARD or EDUCATION Harris MacKenzie, Almeron VVilcox, Sidney D. O'Shea, Clarence Lapp, Ralph Wf Jenner, Lester A. Pridgeon The finest illustration of community interest in its schools lies in the Board of Education. This organization is composed of citizens of the community who, through knowledge of the value of education and a desire to serve the youth of the community, volunteer their services with no payment other than the immense satisfaction that comes with serving their fellow men. The job of a board member is a difficult one, an exacting one, a responsible one, and a time- consuming one. Yet month after month these men faithfully meet to discharge the duties imposed on them by their fellow townsmen. to set the broad policies of the school and to handle the large sums of money necessary for good public education. Gui' lovely, functional school building serves as a testimony to their ability and their zeal. These men are truly representative of the people for they are chosen in a free election by the vote of their peers. They are the men whom the community chooses to oversee the education of its youth and provide them with the means of obtaining that education. The staff of the 0-At-Kan would like to extend its welcome to Mr. Howard Symonds tbelowj who joins the board for the Hrst time this year, and at the same time to express its sorrow at the departure of Grover VV. Lapp topposite pagel. Mr. Lapp has terminated 18 years of faithful service and deserves the heart- felt thanks of both the community and the school. The 1952 O-AT-KAN of LeRoy Central Schoo
