Old and New Blend The community in which Troy High School is lo- cated is a very active and established one, as Full- erton just celebrated its 75th birthday this year. Full- erton has many landmarks, some new and some old. They range from the old houses of downtown Fullerton to the modern architecture of the Full- erton Public Library and the new sculpture, ln Flight , located in front of City Hall. Yorba Linda also has many attractions which act as reminders of the old country town that it once was. Richard Nixion's birthplace, as well as Main Street, complete with old fashioned shops, are some of the attractions in this nearby city. Troy's students have many activities offered to them here in Orange County. Unusual hobbies are found, as well as special talents in art, sports and other areas. Our community is a busy place in which to live. 4. Erin Logaburg rides English Tack on her horse which she shows very successfully. 5.
