Wearing of the Green In literature, a leprechaun is a little man who reveals the location of a hidden crock of gold to anyone who catches him. In the McGrade school yard, at recess on St. PatrickÕs Day, students ÒcaughtÓ their very own leprechaun (building custodian Rick Hunting), whose crock (hidden by the crowd) was filled with gold and white jelly beans, which were as good as gold to these children. Some thought the leprechaun looked very much like last yearÕs Easter bunny. Chuck Blair photo from the March 20, 1992, files of The Western News.
