ACTIVITIES: Barb Morgan, Jeri Poison, Julie Nice, Julie Dean. Through the ADS: Jim Baker Years Wit the MELTING POT After 1920 our fantastic yearbook was no longer called just the Annual. The new name was and is the Melting Pot. Naturally, there is a story behind the scenes. In short, it was changed because in hard times people flocked to our country for freedom, opportunity and a chance to get ahead. Thus, the LeRoy yearbook staff decided to adopt this national theme and apply it to our school--a melting pot of many individuals. Few realize the large task of producing the book. The staff, (not to mention our patient sponsor) works all year, to make your book very memorable. The first annual was in 1920. Until 1951 the staff was only seniors . Now, of course, all 4 grades participate. Patty Carter Photog., Misc Proof. Lissa Small Misc. Proof. Karen Yount Typist Debbie Lowe Typist JoAnn Bean Misc. Proof. David Scott Photog. Jackie Foehr (not pictured) Misc. 10 photos, copy, layouts, . . . we do it all for you

In 1920, the first play done at LeRoy, What Happened to Jones? , was produced with 5 days preparation by the Senior class and a professional director brought from Chicago. The first Junior play, Seventeen , was put on in 1926. Two separate plays were held until 1968, when the classes went together to put on The Courtship of Eddie's Father' ’. Because of this, a musical was added in the spring. (Lissa Small) (Bicentennial cor- -J ne,) 9
