During times when maf terials were unavailable and costs were risf ing, the difficulty of printing an annual has increased many fold. Because of the guidance and the ceaseless labors of our sponsor we are able to present this Trojan s P KATHERINE GREENAMYRE V l P D l 1 MONG his other duties around school, i W. R. Hickman is the Junior Class 3 Dedication yearbook of 1946 as a tribute to her. fefANNuAL STAFF W. R. HICKMAN sponsor and the faculty adviser of Student Council.

r f- r- v - I -vm -7- -.-W A Canter Through the School Year ACCEPTING the challenge of the class of '43 to keep the Trojan ledger posted and upfto-date, we, the class of '46, invite you to mount your little Trojan horse and close your eyes. This may look like a small horse to you, but there is room on his back for all the new teachers- Mrs. Dorothy Boyd, Mr. Lawrence Strand, and Mrs, Beatrice Dempster. The latter two, with Mr. James Montgomery and Miss Marilyn Johnson, fell off as the horse singleffooted around a curve, Mr. Montgomery explaining that he would regain his seat next September. To balance the load Miss Jacqueline Broquet. Mrs. Mary Murray, Mrs. Romona Glade, and Mr. Warren Wiggett were taken on. Mrs. Lyle Brown and Chris were back in the saddle, looking very much at homeg later, after a short leave, Miss Pauline Reynolds returned. There was still room for more, and after all the teachers found their places, the horse was completely covered by the nine hundred and seventeen students, including the student body oflicers. We start off in a slow Canter, as the floors are still slippery from the high polish. This isn't the only improvement in the building: desks have been refinished, walls, redecoratedg ventilators, installed in the gymg the gym floor, sanded and rehnishedg and new equipment, installed in the agriculture shop. Mr. Jamison and Mr. Meador have been added to the group of custodians who are to stand guard over these improvements. As we bounce up and down on Little Trof' we can see that the Girl Reserves have been reorganized by the ninth and tenth graders. Not to be outdone, the Home Economics Clubs are going stronger than ever. Eleven schools attended the Conference held here in the fall. We must spur our steed to a faster pace at this point, as the noon hour has been shortened two minutes. Speaking of school routine, a handbook has been prepared to orient new students. Even if we couldn't see what was ahead, we could know by the sound. The cheerleaders are practicing their yells for football and basketball games. Success was the keyword of the athletes this year. Every football and basketball fan witnessed some great seasonal sports games. The school was deserted when the basketball tournament was being played in Denver. Voices were strained to their capacity, spurring the team to the final game for the title of Runnerfup for State Championship. A banquet was given to the boys for their achievement in football and basketball. The senior girls were in charge of the football banquet, while the sophomore girls served the basketball feast. Stanton Lewis, football captain, crowned Margie Lu Smith as Queen at the Football Social. Hang on tight: we're going to jump the fence that leads to the Bond Auction at which 3168.150 worth of Victory Bonds were bid. Such articles as bananas, chocolate, bacon, Oxydol, and candy bars brought 5B11.000. The juniors, by putting their heads and money together, bought Mr. Mathews' tie for S1,000. Riding hard into the auditorium, we can see the reviews of the year's play productionsf Brother Goose and Little Women. Doris johnson was the winner of the Annual Staff ticket sale contest with more than fifty sales to her credit. Solo Dances were the main feature of the social given to the junior high classes for their work in the contest. The sales for magazine subscriptions this year amounted to 3549.10 Losing the drive, the seventh graders gave a social for the triumphant eighth. George Nelson. Student Body President, crowned the Snow Queen, Lorraine Wood, at the Winter Carnival. On this occasion refreshments were served and furnished by the faculty. Let's spur into a lope and get on to the Scrap Paper Drive-quite an event with plenty of enthusiasm, for the results were sixteen and onefhalf tons of waste paper collected by the students. We can't travel too fast, or we might miss the election of the D. A. R. representative. Martha Lou Pennock received the honor this year for herself and the school. Pull the reins in a little and take heed of some of the music groups. At 7:30 in the morning three times a week the boys rose and sang fat the top of their lungsj for the success of the Boys' Glee. The girls, working just as hard, succeeded in making a name for their choral group. Choir and Orchestra played a large part in the annual Christmas Sing. The concerts and the demonstrations presented at the football games were the main feats of the Band. Dreamers is the name that means dance to the L. H. S. students at the social affairs. Rusty Laybourn organized the band, and they have really made a name for themselves. Because of the lifting of gas rationing we were entertained again by National Assemblies. The features of the year were Duke lvlontagueg Bob Burns, magiciang and Charles Lum, Shakespearian actor. In a full gallop we can now see that Lyle Gross achieved high honors by placing first in the Elks' Scholarship Contest. For his efforts Lyle was awarded twenty dollars. Margie Lu Smith and Priscilla Hoy placed second and third. The reason for the serious faces of the students seen as we race past the later part of the year can be explained by the Student Council, an organization formed to give students more responsibility for their own government. A We are coming into Troy Town. At long last a home was given to the students of L. H. S. With the forming of Little Troy, the Teen Canteen, at the Elks' Club, many gizmos now have a place to spend their evenings. As we near the end of the journey, we can look ahead to the coming events: Trojan Day, track meets, tennis tournaments, the Senior Play, Our Town, the IuniorfSenior Prom, Farewell Assembly, Baccalaureate, Class Night, Senior Picnic, and Commencement. Whoa! That's the end of the trip. We hope you liked your journey! Since it's impossible for us to be seated after riding the horse all day, let's all keep standing and cheer for L.
