'O' nlny I iiilllll ll I 'll' ll l QWaPd X ill As they prepare to take their places in the military minded world l ll to f . ., l wi 'ly ,Hi- f i 'iicv lij ,ll I l' of today, the seniors decided no more appropriate theme for their year- book could be chosen than that of a typical Army camp and its person- nel-thns Fort Troy came into being. Among the following pages you will find comparisons of school life with that of the Army. For instance, the faculty members are desig- nated as lieutenant generals while the administration is under the head- ing of four-star generals. Senior class officers are the commanding offieers and the class members are known as lieutenants. According to rank, your junior friends are called sergeants, sophomores, corporals: and the freshmen, of course, are found under the heading buck privates. Other phases of life in an Army camp are presented in the guise of our school activities. VVar correspondents illustrate and describe the staffs of the B. H. S. Life and the Trojan. Camp Drama includes the casts of our junior and senior plays produced during the year. Physical fitness. which is stressed in the life of every soldier, is repre- sented on our five pages devoted to sports. The spirit of the American people is expressed in various ways such as on the Home Front page, the Food for America section, and among the Morale Boosters, known as the Pep Club. Representing the a'tainment of higher goals, the Army Specialized Training Program is the heading on the Hi-Y page. The G. R. is parallel- ed with the Army Reserve. Fort Troy Musicians are pictured in a two- page layout, the First Fitizens of Troy are pictured, a calendar depicting the entire school year is in the center of the book, scenes about the camp may he noted, and a map of the setup is on the last page. The soldiers of Fort Troy, like those of the United States Army, :ire moving forward with their eyes fixed on a definite goal-a goal far beyond the visible horizon of turmoil and confusion. Their objective is one of Victory First which must be followed by freedom from in- harmonious existence among neighbors.
