Editor's Comments As we, the Senior Class, approach the end of our high school days, we lind ourselves looking back into our past six years at Le Roy High bchool. We happily recall our successes. sadly remember our failures, and we see again the triendly faces of those who have helped us. Soon we will be stepping out of this life we have known for so long, and on litany an oc- casion have taken too much for granted, never really realizing that we are speeding toward adulthood and the days of our youth are num- bered. Vv'e are now, hopefully preparing for tliis most important step by planning for our future education and work. lt is our respons- ibility to contribute all that we have to socieiy and without this careful planning of our future we cannot achieve this goal. A great man who symbolizes all that we should strive to attain. lived his life to the fullest measure. Sir XX'in- ston Churchill contributed more to his society than any other person and for this reason we have chosen this man and his virtues as th.- underlying theme of the 1966 O-1-Yi'-KAN. Xtinston Churchill was not only a man of many trades, but he was a man of many strong principles. Patriotism. honesty and integrity. sound education and peace were the main tenets upon which he based his life. He fought for his country, wrote many historic speeches and novels. and strived for peace. We can and should learn from this man's principles. and by following his virtues we will be able to make our lives complete and worthwhile. In closing, I leave you with a quotation from an address delivered by Churchill, as l'rime Minister. to the House of Commons. on Slay 13, 1941-O: You ask, what is our aim? 1 can answer in one word: victory f Victory at all costs. Victory however long and hard the road may be . . . jicxxnz Mariiicus Editor- 1 n-Chief 1066 U-.'X'l'-li,-XX 1mm vm.. W. wi-'vf -1'- HA-e-1.1A,MM-.

Foreword The 1966 O-AT-KAN was created with one end in mind - to present the 1965 - 1966 academic year at Le Roy Central High School in a brief, though complete and accurate record. Published in honor of th-e class of 1966, the 39th edition of the U-AT-KAN was initiated in early June of last year. The first photographs were taken at this time and the layouts were being dl'?tXY1l by the staff. The major emphasis in this year's yearbook is the photography. A maximum number of pic- tures were developed in both color and in conven- tional blaek and white. The number of pictures taken by the statt and professional photographers was inc1'eased. To compensate for this emphasis, the length of copy was restricted wherever neces- sary. Staff writers, editors, photographer, publish- er and engraver were functionally essential for completion of this 0-AT-KAN, but the greatest single factor was the cooperation from the stu- dents and faculty. For this cooperation, which iransterrezl the 1966 H-AT-KAN from an idea to a finished yearbook. the staff and editors are sin- f' f- fly 'z'ratetul. REFLECTIONS OF VICTOR!
