THE NINETEEN FORTY-ONE LEROYAN PUBLISHED BY THE SENIOR CLASS AND STAFF OF THE RED AND WHITE REFLECTOR OF THE LEROY HIGH SCHOOL, LEROY, MINNESOTA IN THIS YEAR OF 1941 August Quade Engineer As an outward token of our appreciation, we, the class of 1941, respectfully dedicate this, the first volume of the LeRoyan, to the best little town in Minnesota. To the town which has given us our education, religion, and character; to it we are grateful. May we never forget LeRoy, but may it live forever as a town of happy memories! 3 Dr G. k.

Bakken Yerdell Eastwold •Lorraine Osheim COLORS Green and Silver FLOWER White Rose MOTTO M0ut of school life, into Life's school 12 HISTORY OF THE CUSS OF 1941 On the morn of September 5, 1929, Christine Kehret was confronted with twenty-eight Innocent smiling cherubs; namely, Lorraine Osheim, Verdell Eastwold, Marion Van Buren, Eleanor Johnson, Naida Bye. Rosa Naiman, Maxine Blume, Ray Hastings, Dale Malcomson, Lorraine Johnson, Ruby Moe, Leslie Edmonds, Donald Mitchell, Lorraine Drinkall, Clifford Mitchell, Clyde Mitchell, Joe Regan, Glenice Lawrence, Lenora Mahoney, Leo Renter, Dorothy Gager, Arthur Tingley, Patricia Hawkins, Alice Moe, Floyd Davis. Charles Drake, Delaine Rosenthal, and Russell Bye. That year we could be likened to acorns, Just planted. The following year our garden spot was changed to the second and third grade room under tne leadership of Alma Westberg. We found that we no longer had with us Charles Drake, Floyd Davis, Ray Hastings, Maxine Blume, Lorraine Johnson, Donald Mitchell, Lorraine Drinkall, Clyde Mitchell, Joe Regan, and Delaine Rosenthal (deceased) . At the beginning of the third grade we still felt very much at home because we were under the same leader ana in the same room with but slight changes among our classmates. We no longer saw Leo Renter, Arthur Tingley, Clifford Mitche117 Malcomson. We became acquainted with the new faces of Wayne Hill and Philig Price. During this year Miss Westberg had the misfortune to break her leg; Ruth Johnson substituted for her while she was gone. A new teacher, new atmosphere, and new associations added to our experiences during the fourth grade. Our new instructor was none other than Decoran Harden. Added to our ranks this year were: Raymond Rnight, Muriel and Maxine Peterson; all the former familiar faces which we had grown to know remained with us. The fifth grade progressed with but few changes. Wayne Hill moved from this community and Vincent Hardwick was accepted into our union. An unusual thing occurred in the sixth grade, in that we had Miss Harden again as our teacher, making three successive years. One newcomer, Wanlta Shoemaker, was added and Vincent Hardwick. Dorothy Gager, Glenice Lawrence were transplanted to another plot. After finishing the elementary grades we sprouted and §rew and were likened to sturdy saplings, with well established roots and ranches spreading out to absorb the light of knowledge. In the seventh grade we came to the realization that we were deprived of our fifteen minute recess periods, to which we had grown so accustomed. Instead of seeing the faces of Marion Van Buren and Ruby Moe we saw those of Glenn Grlmley, Verna Tonsaker, and Ambrose Crowe. Also this year our teachers increased in number. We had Marcella Meuer, John W. Peterson, and Catharine Rygg. During our eighth grade the new six year plan was adopted. This plan gave us an independent feeling because we were considered Junior High School students. With Marcella Meuer and John W. Peterson, were Emil Simon, Renneth Von Wald, and Ingrid Larsen. We lost four members from our class this year: Ray Rnight, Muriel Peterson, Maxine Peterson, and Wanita Shoemaker. The two newcomers were Wayne Wells and. Hazel Jerred. In 1937 a large bewildered class of green freshies sauntered up the steps of Le Roy High and were quickly transformed by the process of initiation into distinguished high school students. The variety of newcomers fitted the faces of Russell Anderson, Helen Benson, Curtis Bergan, Everett Bucknell, Lucille Eng 01in Eng, Gladys Hall, Rathleen Johnson, Arlin Mahoney, Worrell Malcomson, Donald Morse, Marjorie Olson, Orlo Sorenson, Leona Thoreson, Dorothea Whisler, Bert Wren. La Fonne Whisler, Curtis Dybvod, Alfred Eastwold, Marion Mossyge, and Harold Olson. We lost only one member, Hazel Jerred. The faculty members who guided us through our freshmen year were: John W. Peterson, Olive Gilbertson, Emil Simon, Marcella Meuer, and Oliver Bakken.Thls year we enjoyed our first picnic out of town. We chose Rochester as our camping ground. Mr. Peterson accompanied us as our class advisor. A considerable decline in our enrollment took place during our tenth year. We lost twelve members —Bert Wren, La Fonne Whisler, Everett Bucknell, Olin Eng, Alfred Eastwold, Gladys Hall, Rathleen Johnson, Arlin Mahoney, Donald Morse, Marjorie Olson, Harold Olson, and Dorothea Whisler. We gained Elma Jacobsen, Margaret Everson, Bill McClellan, Kenneth Norland, Joyce and Fern Anderson. The instructors this year were: Mary Sias, Olive Gilbertson, Emil Simon, Orlana Johnson, and John W. Peterson. Miss Sias was our class advisor ana therefore accompanied us to Albert Lea on our picnic. The Junior year showed the loss of Bill McClellan, Elma Jacobson, Margaret Everson, and Curtis Dybvod. There were no additions to our group. J. A. Sime, Nadine Nelson, Norman Indall, Oliver Bakken and Helmer Bakke were our honorable directors for the year. The highlights of this year were the Junior-Senior Prom and the Junior Class Play under the direction of Mary Malsed. Our Fndall f°r thlS year WaS held at Clear 1 ® and we were chaperoned by Norman The one and only change in our senior class was the addition of Marion Schwenn. Hazel Holth too the place of Nadine Nelson on our faculty. It is appropriate to mention here the names of those who have continued from first grade through high school in Le Roy: Lorraine Osheim, Verdell Eastwold, Eleanor Johnson, Russell Bye, Naida Bye, Rosa Naiman, Lenora Mahoney, Patricia Hawkins, and Alice Moe. We hope you will continue to keep your eyes on us and watch us grow physically, mentally, and morally as we progress out of school life into life’s school.

Two students, elected from each class, and one from every organization and club make up the 8tudent Council. A campaign and rally decides the President, this year, Antorose Crowe, and the Vice President, this year, Verdell Eastwold. Ex-officio members are Superintendent Bakken and Principal Indall. They have charge of all programs and entertainments. They sponsor sales of candy at basketball and football games, the sale of student tickets, and also supervise the Student Patrol. All legislation is with the student's consent—a truly Democratic way. STUDENT HIGHWAY PATROL The Student Patrol is one organization which functions regardless of the weather. Sun or rain, the boys are on duty in the morning, at noon, and before four patrolling the three streets near the school. The Patrol, under the sponsorship of the American Legion, assists and directs school children while they are crossing the highways, and also helps avoid accidents. It is Le Roy Public Schools' safety Insurance policy. The Patrol is divided into two groups with a Lieutenant at the head of each; Lieutenants are: Donald Regan and Donald 0l6on. The Captain of the entire Patrol is Donald Bothum. The 8tudent Council committee which works with the boys in an advisory capacity is: Charles Martz, Orlo Sorenson, Bernard Halver, Violet BJortomt, Verdell Eastwold, Ambrose Crowe, and Superintendent Bakken. 25 STUDENT COUNCIL Top Row, left to right—Louie Hungerford, Clifford Mitchell, Joe Regan, Loren Baker, Clyde Mitchell.

This year they played very successfully the number, Crusaders' • They also dress in full uniform for summer concerts, short appearances at plays and assemblies and at each home basketball game. They boosted their team on to victory at the Sub-District Basketball Tournament at Adams and also played at the District Tourney at Austin. Their last Journey was to the annual Music Festival held in Riceville. Two additional features from the band are the Brass and Reed Quartettes. They were entered as ensemble units at Chatfleld and played Andante Cantabile and the The Serenade . OCR HIGH SCHOOL BAND Up bright and early, 8:20 in the worn, 8till students com With scowl or scorn. Off to the Band Room They trudge on forlorn; 8ome without music. Others with horns. Their seats they do take, All lined in a row; Up goes the music, And they're ready to blow. The director is ready; He raises the stick They strike up a tune Like the crack of a whip. The suslc crescendoes, They're nearing the close, For the band blew so hard That the roof almost rose. As the band leaves the room There is a hurrying scram, The practice Is ended For our high school band. Leslie Edmonds.

When competition between Robert and his competitor, Randall, was going strong, Cyrus and Ma made a candy bar of their own and the demand for it spread like wildfire. Robert and Randall each thought the other had put the candy bar on the market and a serious business battle developed. Each started an advertising campaign over the air. Cyrus also went on the air to advertise his lovely granddaughters and Margie, Robert's stenographer. Margie loved Robert and he realized that he loved her too when she was rushed by Andy Jackson, his star salesman. Cyrus turned out to be the hit of the girls program and his candy bar was also advertised along with the girls.

These girls work in the office during hours when they do not have a class. Keeping the office in good order, answering the telephone, finding store-room goods for students, and doing other miscellaneous tasks such as assisting in correcting papers and Making stencils coMprlses their office work.

DECLAMATION Out of five divisions in speech activity, Le Roy High School entered contestants in four of thew as the speaking festivities were launched for 1941. After local elimination, Orville Helgeson (oratorical declamation), Verdell Eastwold (original oratory), Helen Regan (interpretive reading— selection memorized), and Eleanor Johnson (interpretive reading—selection read) represented Le Roy at the sub-district contest. Eleanor Johnson, under Miss Holth, and Orville Helgeson, under Miss Malsed, went on to the district contest where Orville's declamation, •There Is No Peace , again won recognition; he participated in the regional festival which is as far as a contestant may go in speech work. This has been a successful year in this extra-curricular activity, and Le Roy is rightly proud of its student participants.

F. A. is a national organization for farm boys who are students of vocational agriculture. Our local chapter of Future Farmers has sponsored many worthwhile cooperative activities as a group. The chapter also emphasizes the development of the individual within the group by requiring supervised farm practice work on the home farm and the requirement of committee service for the organization. Standing committees carry out the program of work along the following lines: Scholarship, Recreation, Earnings and Savings, Cooperation, Community Service, Conducting of Meetings, Supervised Farming, and Leadership. Officers of the local chapter for the current year are: President..... Vice President Secretary..... Treasurer..... Reporter...... .Russell Anderson ..Clyde Mitchell ... .Harold Samuel .Orville Helgeson . .Kenneth Norland YELL TEAM One of the most pep-inspiring organizations in Le Roy High is the Yell Team. Much credit is due these six school-spirited students who energetically led the cheering at football and basketball games and pep fests. They also initiated several new and original yells. Their duty was, with student body support, to spur the team onto victory; it cannot be said that they shirked their task.

We have often heard it said of some person who has achieved worthwhile things in his lifetime, He had such a fine philosophy of life. On the other hand, there is a person who goes through life in an aimless fashion, getting along but not accomplishing anything worthwhile. It is said of him, He seems to have no purpose, no philosophy. Groups as well as individuals have philosophies, and so our Home Economics Club has a purpose—a philosophy by which its work, activities, and accomplishments are guided. And as the program and activities of the club were planned we were reminded of our motto, Love of home and what it stands for converts the drudgery of daily routine into a high order of social service , for Home Economics stands for: The ideal home life for today unhampered by the traditions of the past. The utilization of all the resources of modern science to improve home life. The freedom of the home from the dominance of things and their due subordination to ideals. The simplicity in material surrounding which will free the spirit for the more important and permanent interests of the home and of society.

This Is the first undefeated season Le Roy has seen for many years. The Le Roy aggregation opened their schedule on the home gridiron by defeating Harmony under the lights by a 26 to 0 score. They then proceeded to overpower Blooming Prairie 12 to 7 and Stewartville 9 to 7. In a night game before the largest crowd of the year they played a powerful Riceville eleven to an 8 to 8 tie, at Le Roy. The team then traveled to Hayfield where they met the largest opponent of the season. This game ended with divided honors; the score being 7 to 7. From here on Le Roy had little trouble in defeating Spring Valley 14 to 7 and Adams 19 to 0 with both games being played on foreign fields. TO OUR TEAM PLAYING IN THE LINE It Isn't any fun to get your face shoved in the ground On the bottom of the pile where you cannot make a sound To feel the cleats of others a crawling an your spine But that is what you get when you're playing In the line. It Isn't any fun to hear the fans all cheer the backs When it really is the lineman who is taking all the cracks But the much despised lineman doesn't make a single sign Cause that's what's expected when you're playing in the line. Oh, it isn't any fun to go and spread the defense wide If a halfback takes the ball and runs across the other side Say, it's then a lineman's eyes begin to fill with salty brine But he doesn't say a word cause he's a playing in the line. And it isn't any fiwi to go deem low with heart and soul When the other team is knocking on the doorpost of the goal For when the play 1s wer, and fans say you've done fine That's all you can expect cause you're playing in the line. So you charge in fast and low, and hard, the football season thru Without much lusty cheering for the mighty things you do But now the season's over, and tomorrow you dine So let me pay tribute to the fellows of the line. You played the game, you didn't stop, you battled to the end The forward wall was never broke, though sometimes it did bend Remember this, you played the game each one of you did fine And we're proud of all the players of Le Roy's high school line. —Arch Pease, Min. St. H. 8. league Bulletin. 1940-41 BASKETBALL SEASON 42 In the 1940-41 cage race the Le Roy Scarlets proved to have another very competent basketball club as the district tournament saw them participate two years In a row. At the close of the season the books showed a profit for the Red and White quintet for they had won 12 and lost 9 tilts. The season's first encounter matched us against Spring Valley who went home with a 17 to 16 win. In an overtime we defeated a powerful Rose Creek team 34 to 33. We then lost to Adams 35 to 15 and Grand Meadow 17 to 15. Over Christmas Le Roy High defeated the Alumni 28 to 22. Starting the new year off right the Scarlets hit their stride for a five game winning streak when they defeated Riceville 25 to 7, Elkton 21 to 13, Me Intire 29 to 18, Spring Valley 43 to 19, and Chester 23 to 20 in that order. Grand Meadow took the Le Royans into camp 43 to 20 as did Adams by a 36 to 27 count. The locals then traveled to Rose Creek where they were beaten 19 to 12. The Red and White took two in a row by clipping Lyle 31 to 23 and Chester by the same score. Elkton then nipped the Scarlets in a hard fought battle on Le Roy's court by a 21 to 20 count. The locals also were victims of Lime Spring's powerhouse 18 to 14. In the last game of the regular season we overpowered Mclntire 31 to 23. At the sub-district tournament which was held at Adams the highly keyed Le Royans nosed out Grand Meadow 20 to 19 and then took Elkton 22 to 13 to win the championship. In the first game of the district tournament which was held in Austin the brilliant Red and White quint bowed to Albert Lea's rangey team 55 to 31. left to right—Russell Bye, Bernard Halver, Loren Baker, Leslie Edmonds, Joseph Regan, Dale Malcomson, Louis Hungerford.
