Yffith this idea in mind, we are about to conduct you on a tour through the school, with members of the Red Key Service Club conveniently placed to guide you. We hope you will enjoy yourself, and that you will feel we are justified in having such pride in our school. The The The The The The The Admini stra ti ou Seniors . Classes .

It is fitting that we should also gizfe sfirrial recognition to a ineinber of the farnlty for they have been our guides and friends over the past four yea-rs. If we nznst single ont one above all others, MR. LETKO, our scienre teacher and friend, is the logical rhoice.

Absent from picture: Clarence l.app We Ewa! fbazfmmmea Salma! fwzczea The members of our Board of Education are men to whom we owe the deepest gratitude for they are the foundation of our education here in l.e Roy, and without them we would have little or no education at all. Their time and service are given willingly with no payment in return for this difficult job. l'he men are chosen in an election by the townspeople. They establish the major policies of the school. They employ the members of the faculty and administration, arrange for main- tenance of school buildings and grounds and the collection of funds by taxes to make the school possible. They must be always ready to solve problems which threaten our school. VVe know they are constantly at work looking for ways to improve the school and the education it gives. One of the finest examples of this is the recent addition of and improvements on school facilities. XYithout such willing and capable men on the Board this would never have been possible. VVe know that our interests are their in- terests-that is what they are there for. Many of them have children of their own attending school, so they are representative of the parents of the community who want the best in educa- tion for their children. However, they are also the men of the community who are gifted with qualities which make them tit to do a good job. The recognition they receive is far too small for the great task they are attempting and. in every possible way, accomplishing. e 1953 O-AT-KAN of LeRoy Central Schoo lVl,x'rTH15w XY.

It records in pictures and words how all the people of the con1n1unity l1ave given of their time and their 111oney in order that eacl1 l1lCl1llJCl' of the graduating class of l953 n1ay be better prepared to face the problems of being an adult in a free democratic society.

CfoI.E, who is a stern man in first period study hall, has received excellent suc- cess with his budding Future Farmers , mainly by this same strictness. A comparative newcomer to L. H. S. is Miss INIARY INIERWIN, who in the past semester, became intimately acquainted with many of the Le Roy students, among these students were the senior boys. 7fae wma, For our citizenship education teachers. we have three cxservicemen. MR. FITCH, like MR. BABCOCK, is a past Army man. He is very capable of handling the seventh and eighth graders, who at times are a lot to handle. MR. BABCOCK, the pride and joy of the football team, teaches sophomores and juniors their history. Last in the line up, but only in height, is our retired Marine, MR. 'l',xGoART, who gives freshmen their first taste of high school, and the seniors. their last. I I I IDI IIIUK G. 'l'AGGAI'C'l', VERNON F. HANCOCK, RIUIIARD Among the familiar figures in the L. H. halls are those of the line arts teachers, Miss IIARROLD and MR. LANE. In her several years at Le Roy, Miss IdARRlDI.U has aided many young artists to an encouraging start and per- haps someday one of her Le Roy pupils will become another DaVinci. MR. LANE is now completing his fourth year in our music de- partment, and since he's rolled up his sleeves and taken over the musical organizations he has kept things jumping. 1952-53 has brought much fame to both MR. LANE and the L. II. S. musicians. . , . O O I ln the commercial department of our school, two charming young ladies are in reign. MRs. 'WrLI.1AMEE, the more experienced of the two, has taught several present secretaries the fundamentals of the trade, and let's hope she continues to do so at Le Roy. The new addition to the business section is Nazareth College graduate Miss NIARTHA MoRixN. Be- sides Mtss NIORANYS regular duties with her typing and shorthand classes, she helps advise the seniors, a very distinguishing position. FITCH MAIl'1'I'IA MOIIAN, MARY .IU NVILLIAN SHPII A.

Those frequent loud sounds from the shop are usually under his direction. MR. XYAN Dnuslix helps him out by taking over the Sth grade shop classes. The latter also has the large job of teaching Driver Education. This course is fairly new and there is a long waiting list of people eager to get their hands on the wheel. Peppy Miss DE Yoii, an experienced teacher at l.e Roy. now has the job of teach- ing English Literature to the .lunior High stu- dents. The other part of English, just as im- portant as literature, is grammar and spelling. These are taught to both the seventh and eighth grades by newcomer IVIR. IQIELLY, a quiet person who seems to be just the one to make normally uninterested junior Highers learn the technicalities of our language. ' ' fined, caanfteh ancfi ' . . . . The job of teaching English to Senior High students is handeled by three capable teachers. They also have extra jobs besides their heavy English schedules. XYith his spon- taneous wittieisms. MR. TVICROBERTS urged budding orators through the Larkin Contest and Senior Play. The Sophomore Speakers were coached by the indispensible Mks. BALMER. The two school publications were the extra headache of MR. CAIIILL, a grand person who did every thing in his power to make them the success they were. lf you've ever heard the students going around the halls speaking a strange language you can he sure they learned it from Mies. Rossiau. or MR. BARONE. For the past four years MR. Bixkoxit, also our broad--shouldered bl. V. coach. has taught the muchachos and muchachas of l.e Roy to speak Spanish. lVlRs. RUSSELL, besides teaching the l.atin scholars. has spent a great deal of time on O-at-kan photography and her sharp camera eye has been endlessly useful. INR ll.

Quiet. gentle Miss FoRT3111.1.1zR and alert, aggressive MR. l'1cRRoNE, though using very diliferent tactics. both managed to drum some higher mathematics through the brains of confused Senior High students. although sometimes it was so puzzling it was even hard to remember what two and two added up to.

KUIQTII, who can usually be seen scurrying down the hall, is a newcomer who teaches junior Hi sciences. General science, biology a11d health are taught by fatherly MR. l,ETKU. Newcomer MR. GANGI, who always has a wise word, is in charge of physics and chemistry. A The budding athletes of the l.e Roy Central Schools are kept well in hand by Miss IDoUGAN and MR. l.oNG1e11N1. Miss DoUo.xN manages to remain cheerful and understand- ing in spite of her many duties with girls intramurals, playdays. and G. A. A. MR. l.oN1z1'11N1 has been here for two years as Varsity basketball coach. Those of us who came in late will remember him standing at his post with the tardy book in his hand. ftcfuzal ffeau MRs.

Under the leadership of Mr. Taggart, Miss Moran. and Miss Merwin. we elected bloe lanita as class president. XYe started off with selling food at tl1e foot- ball games. The cold didn't dampen our spirits and we had hardly finished this project when we started our paper drive. For a day and a half, seniors could be seen going into almost every house in l,e Roy. appear- i11g again i11 a few 111i1111tes with their arn1s full of papers. XYith the cooperation of the people of the community, our drive was a successful financial project. A little later the girls of tl1e Senior class challenged the boys to a dance. On December l2th, the night of the girls' dance. the gym was packed. The boys, having hard competition ahead of them. set their dance for the weekend of the County Music Festival i11 April. Another contest was set up to sell tickets for the Senior Play. XYhile all the seniors were out selling tickets, our 111ore dramatic pupils were hard at work learning parts and attending re- hearsals. .lanice Hewes and Sam Leadley copped the leading roles i11 G. H. Shaw's play. Pyg- malion . On the night of the play we found another success on o11r hands. March Sth marked the night of our Spaghetti Supper. a success because of the cooperation of all the seniors. .-Xtter our supper we had a little party exclusively for the class. Another big event, the Senior Ball, was set for April lOth. lt proved to be tl1e biggest suc- cess a Senior Rall has ever bee11. So now with the co111pletion of our high school days. while we are looking ahead toward the future. we are constantly reminded of tl1e wonderful, incomparable days we spent at I ll 9 A tour through the school without a look into the classrooms in action would b be 11eglecting the heart of the school.

We owe much of our succfiss to our advisors, Mr. l.ctko and Mr. Harone, who did as much for us as experience. We are confident that throughout the rest of our high school career we will try to continue to work together and do as well as we have done this year. The freshman class also made its presence felt in sports and other activities. We placed members on all the j.v. teams and on the cheerleading squad. In addition we helped swell the munhers of the music organizations and spoke out in Student Council. XVe feel that for the first time we are making a real contribution to high school life.

To us the high school was a new adventure and the beginning of a new era in our lives. VX'e were taking our very first steps on the path of adulthood. Never had we been so bewildered, and never had we found it so easy to become lost. There were few of us who got to all of the right classes that first day and the next day was much the same. lt all seemed quite glam- 7!ze Seaenjh Qaacle orous. but soon that wore off. because we were put to work and found that being a new seventh-grader was no easy task. XVhen we became a little more settled in our new school, we elected the following class officers: Donald Pursel. presidentg Roger Graney, vice president, Douglas Fiero, Representative at large, Barbar Carli, Raymond Ianello. and Thomas Schlonski as homeroom presidents.

Eegjmt Me Adcenl joyment as well :is for our social develop- ment. ln the fall and spring, the 7th :md Sth graders had Z1 comhined roller skating party. These parties are well attended with much enthusiasm. Other activities which we of the 7th grztde are proud of are the ,lunior lligh Guidance Assembly programs. These pro- grains provide us with an opportunity to display our skills in planning, organizing, amd presenting progrzuns for our fellow students. Room decorating at Christmas time is lots of fun. This year we were proud to he placed third in the competition between rooms. Last, which is one of the most exciting activities. is the Alunior High Night. lt is usually held in May. This program gives us another opportunity to show our talents. At this time we perform for our parents :md friends.

DIIYERS, Principal We are very proud of the resources of the educational plant which have been erected on our campus by the citizens of Le Roy. XVe are more proud of the hope represented by the human resources of the Class of 1953, for buildings decay but ideas and our heritage live on in the hearts of men and women. HORACE B. MYERS DR. CERANEY ' lt's time for school physicals again. Time to go and see a person who has been connected with the l,e Roy Schools for almost 40 years, I imagine there is no one in school who regrets having a physical as it gives them a chance to see one of the nicest doctors any of us will meet. Yes, Dr. Graney certainly is wonderful to all of us, and after we've touched our toes and said aaah he always has a Witty remark to say to us. Our hats are off to Dr. Graney for the splendid job he is doing. Mic Miss likicksox Miss lirickson has been with ns since l'13O, four of these years being spent in the XYolcott Street School. She had, previous to WSU, been vocal director at both schools. She teaches singing and string instruments. Singing is a required course, by the way. She has orgaized a grade school orchestra. consisting of about thirty students. Now the music program is moving at a fast pace. and all of the children enjoy music very nmch. fvlmde Miss Smirn Someone has a cut linger again, and it's oil to the grade school and the nursels office. Examining the many minor injuries that happen every day nmst be a very tiring job, but it doesn't seem to phase Miss Smith, for she always has an encouraging smile and a helpful word for each new patient, And when something major docs happen, it's encouraging to know we have such an efficient and well-trained person around. Miss Ulsvizxzw Miss Uispenza has been teaching art in the Wolcott Street School for the past four years. Art is a regular course. taught once. and in some cases, twice a week. The children enjoy art and do a variety ot things, from water-coloring to ordinary drawing. liefore Miss llispenza came there was no regular art teacher. so we can say that she is the tirst teacher ol' art in gradesil-6. :X good addition to XY.

' The student government of our school is arranged in such a wav as to give every student in the school an CCIll l.l say in the government. VX'hen the organization was tirst started. the con- stitutions from each of the different school groups were brought together and bonded into one large constitution for the use of the Student Council. Under this constitution. it is stated that this orfranization should be called the l.e Roy lliffh School Student Association. Some of the duties of this association are to direct the extra curricular activities of the student body 1 to main- tain and develop school spiritg and to provide opportunities for the students to practice citizen- ship. The council shall charter extra curricular clubs and organizations. determine schedules of meetings, plan student conducted assemblies and many more such duties. The main purpose of the council though, is to improve the school in evcrv wav possible. lt holds dances. decides on the school songs and much more. It. in general. is the governing body. Every student receives many privileges as the result ot Student Council but they also have their responsibilities to the school. lf a student disagrees with any of the topics discussed he has the right to voice his opinion. The council is arranged in such a way to give each and every student an opportunity as g 1.3 Sifiufenl eau ' S Zlwwzfm to have his own ideas brought up before the student body. The Student Association consists of the president. vice-president, secretary, and the treiisurer of the Association and also of the members of the Student Council. These mem- bers are made up of six students from each class. since the grades seven through twelve are equally represented the total membership of the organization is thirty-six. These members are elected at the beginning of the school year by each ot the respective classes. ln the seventh and eighth grades for example. their representa- tives consist ot the president, and vice-president of each of their three homerooms making up six for each class mentioned above. ln the grades 9. l0. and ll the representatives are made up of the president and vice-president of the class, one representative from each of three home- rooms and one representative at large. The senior representative is similar except for the fact that the other four, excluding the class offi- cers, are all chosen from the one large homeroom. lt is the job of all these representatives to bring up at the council meetings any business which their respective class would like done. livery class activity must be passed by a majority of the student council members before it can go into etfect.

The l'resident and vice-president of Stu- dent Council are elected in the spring of the previous year. They do not take office however until the following September. The system of electing these officers is similar to the one used by our national government. ln the latter part of March two conventions are held to choose the candidates for the election. The entire student body is divided equally with half going to the gymnasium and the other halt' going to the audi- torium. The candidates for nomination who will have already been signed up are also divided into each convention. lirom each of these conven- tions will be picked a president and a vice-presi- clential candidate. lfor the next week or any length ol time as designated by the council. can- didates shall campaign within the school for their oftices. 'lihe final bit of campaigning shall come in the assembly which is held the day before the election. .-Xt the election the voting is done on the town voting machine and the results are held for the publication of our school paper, The Red and lllaelf. l i l l How 4: Ib.

Now the pencils are worn to stubs, the brains are even more scrambled and the faces are drooping, but they certainly can no longer be called blanlc. for what has been learned through the production of this book is worth a lifetime of teaching. Once the layout was done. there were pic- tures to schedule and take. articles to write. sometimes at a momentls notice. ads to collect. orders to take. and typing to do. Much of the advertising and circulation was done in business classes. but of course out-of-class worlc never ceased. One wonderful improvement on our equipment was the addition of our own camera. lt toolq a while to get used to it, and many hours of developing before the tinal products were finished. but the experience gained and the money saved proved it immeasurably worthwhile. It it had not been for Mr. Cahill, our tire- less adviser. we would probably be no farther than we were when we started, for who else could have taught us so much in such a short time? The eltorts of Mrs. XYilliamee, circulation adviser, Miss Moran. advertising adviser, and Mrs. Russell, photography adviser, were also invaluable parts in the machinery of the year- book. Our purpose has been to give the students and the community a book of which they can be proud, and to which they can return when the memories of high school life have become a tritle faded and thin. ln our armchair tour of the school we have tried to include something from every phase of its busy life. XYe hope we have succeeded in creating a lasting impression that can never be driven away.

'lt was agreed that those students who wished to take journalism as their English enrichment course would become the Red and Black staff for this l95Z-53 school year. As a result of an election within the class ,lrlenry Barheau was chosen Editor with Dorothy Anchor and joyce Traxler as lklanaging liditor and Business Man- ager, respectively. ln january the enrichment courses changed and our staff left the journalism class. This left work on the paper to be done independently either outside of school or during study periods. Pub- lication still continued, which proved that the stall enjoyed its worlt immensely. Mr. Cahill was available for help when the going became tough. as it certainly did when important news became scarce. A majority of the stad was green, but every- one caught on quickly and enjoyed it. 'l'herefore, each one became interested and skillful in his own department. Wie of the staff have tried to put out a good school paper. for the spirit of the school paper often reflects the spirit of the school. lt has been more fun than work for us, and we hope our readers have enjoyed reading it as much as we have enjoyed writing it.

During the year the Society made several trips to Rochester for entertainment.

This is what goes on behind the scenes every week during the school year. The eoneert band of 55 members spends most of its time re- hearsing for concerts and assemblies. Every Fall, the band elects its own slate of ollieers to help M r. l.ane during the coming school year. This year began by organizing a Marehing Band. separate from the Concert Band. He took in junior and Senior High instrumental students who were interested in marching. Henry Bar- beau. the capable leader and driller of the band. made sure that l.e Roy Central was well repre- sented at all the football games. The band. in its bright uniforms. brought more spirit to l..e Roy High School than has been seen in a long time. Not only was the spirit uneonquered on the foot- ball tield, but also was a great addition to the many pep assemblies that were held in the fall.

In November the band was well represented at the All-State Sectiouals iu Lancaster. Those who represented l..,eRoy were: Nancy Frost, Rose Pace, David Hayward, Bruce Ludlum. Here these students had two rehearsals and ended up with the tinal concert on Saturday evening.

The members are chosen at tryouts at the iirst of the year and anyone interested may try out. Mr. Lane also chooses the songs we sing which consisted this year of two spirituals. XYere You There ?'l and Ride the Chariot, and a variety of other songs, including The Blessing of St. Francis, A l.egend,'l and Carousel Selection. Because of our name we have chosen our Alina Mater as a theme song. Staiinliiigrz .Iac-li l:l':Ililll1l'X. I.i-wis Steyerson 1 ny Jolinston.

VVe soon found, how- ever, that we lacked the necessary confidence and were easily downed by an experienced Holley five. Our first league encounter was Medina on the new, shiny, hardwood of our Le Roy court. Medina's nervousness enabled us to gain an early advantage and go on to outscore them in every quarter. XN'ith this victory our sectional hopes soared. Albion followed Medina in defeat the fol- lowing week due greatly to the fantastic first half scoring by Sam Riggi. XYe had the section- als at our linger tips with two league wins.

The score was tied with 25 seconds left, but Batavia edged us with a series of free throws. XYhen we again met Medina. we were out to clinch the league title. XYC started slow but passed them at half-time. The final minutes. however. told the tale. XYe were edged by two points. All was not lost, for a win over .-Xlbion would guarantee us a trip to the sectionals. Albion. much to our sorrow, outclassed us all the way and the best we could hope for was a first place tie. NYith two crucial losses behind us. deter- mined, we faced Batavia. NVQ exploded in the first period. outscoring our heavily favored op- ponents by 15 points, and didn't slow our amazing pace until the fourth quarter, when. with a lead of over 20 points, we put on an ineffective freeze and lost much of our advantage. Vtfhen the final buzzer sounded we came out ahead and the l.e Roy fans showered the team with gratitude. The game split of the Albion. Medina series forced us into a play-off with Medina, at Brock- port. ln one of our poorest performances of the season, we were whipped by the sharp shooting Medina boys, thus ending our sectional hopes. XVith Strobel looping 23 points. we finished the season, with a record of 7 wins and 8 losses, in an exciting point victory over Oakfield.

How these' boys perform remains to be seen but it is hoped that they give the intielders and outhelders a minimum of work to do. ln the catching department we have joe Cravotta and 'lohn Eppolito. These two are also veterans and their experience should be of great help. Both are good receivers and hitters. At first, Danny Moonevys height is a big asset to reach those wild throws but he digs them out of the dirt too, and his hitting improves with every game. Romey Lachnicht is holding down second base.

They dropped the next two games including the old foe Batavia and our rivals to the east, Caledonia. After beating Holley on the home Court they bowed to Perry in their succeeding engagement.
