was developed, and an interest in good music was built up. Thus, Oboe leaves LeRoy Community High School, a Well-rounded in- dividual, one who has a foundation for further study, who is qualified to work in some useful occupation, and who has learned at least some of the many profitable Ways to employ his leisure time. O Green Eyes Oboe's friends in the green years have indeed left their mark on old LeRoy High. A very spirited group, they began by electing Kenneth Rob- bins, Class President, John Monical, Vice-President, and Bill Wheeler, Sec- retary-Treasurer. Under the leadership of these students, the Freshman Class broke into the annals of L.H.S. history.

Q 'There Ain't Nobody Here But Us Chickens As a freshman, Oboe stood in awe of those enviable upper-classmen. His activities, however, were much the same as those of the other students in the school. He and his freshman friends were noteworthy in athletic events, literary ventures, and all of the other areas of learning sponsored by the school. His courses consisted of English, General Science, Algebra, Latin, Home Economics, Industrial Arts, Agriculture, and General Bus- iness. He was permitted to take any four of these subjects in addition to the required Physical Education. When he became a sophomore, Oboe assumed the attitude of one who knows the ropes of LeRoy High. He patiently helped the freshmen group to become acquainted with high school life, and again he was an important person in the extra-curricular life of the school. His curriculum was made up of English, Geometry, General Business, World History, Civics and Economics, Home Economics, Latin, Industrial Arts, Agriculture, and Biology. Again a series of four subjects in addition to Physical Education made up his program. Under ordinary circumstances, this same pattern of four courses and Physical Education continues throughout the four years. By the time Oboe was a junior. he was indeed well-informed on almost any subject. Experience had made him outstanding in practically all fields of endeavor. Without him, the athletic teams would have been seriously affected, and, of course, we would have been forced to forego the junior play and the junior-senior prom. During this year, a program consisting of English, Agriculture, Home Economics, Industrial Arts, Bookkeeping. Typewriting, Shorthand, World History, Civics and Economics, Chemistry, Trigonometry, Advanced Algebra, and Physics were offered. When Oboe began his last year at LeRoy High School, he was a serious. determined individual who used his time to an advantage and who set an example for the seniors to come. He was a leader in the athletic field, in the classroom, and in all extra-curricular pro- , , , grams, Very enthusiastically he pursued his ' ' course of study, consisting of American His- X tory, English, Speech, Bookkeeping, Type- X writing. Industrial Arts, Agriculture, Home Economics, Shorthand, Trigonometry, Ad- g,f xancgl Algeb1a,'Chem1stiy, and-Phy sics. uiing all foul jeais of high school, a 2 M very complete music program was available ffg-.Y to Oboe, if he felt an interest in this type of 5- 7 4X work.
