To these, our FRIENDS, we dedicate this, our 1940 edition of the Trojan. MEMORIES The tall brick school at the edge of town Where we met on our first school day Shall bring memories sweet As the years repeat As we travel down our life's highway. For fifty years you've welcomed us; Hundreds and hundreds have entered your door Fifty long years You've shared our cheers How we wish we could live them o'er. The lessons seemed long and the work so hard And we would fret and wear a frown Yet our heads would spin As we tried to win The trophies for our own home town. There's a tear in the eye of you and me When we bid it our fond farewell Not a sign of cheer Only a tear For no longer in it can we dwell. A THF. TROJAN Back row: Lillian Fletcher-5th and 6th grades, Jeannette Hoicomb-Languages, Walter Krueger-Coach, Carl Kruger-Agriculture, Francis Cuber-Social Science, Myrtle Hammond-Commercial, Margaret Sherman-Kindergarten and 1st grade. Front Row: Marjorie Davis- Home Economics, Ruth Bacon-Music, Paul Davis-Principal, Audley Mays-Superintendent, Eva Spencer-4th and 5th grades, Lois Roush-2nd and 3rd grades. OUR TEACHERS AND THEIR FAVORITE QUOTATIONS Mr. Mays: The laborer works with his hands; The master works with his hands and mind, But the artist works with his hands, his mind and his heart. Mr. Krueger: Any thing that is worth doing at all is worth doing well. Mr. Davis: Miss Fletcher: Somebody said that it couldn t be done But he with a chuckle replied. That maybe it couldn t But he wouldn t say so until he d tried. Hiss Davis Can t never did anything. Mrs. Sherman: I am the Master of my fate. I am the Captain of my soul. The person who can say the unexpected and at the same time make good sense has something approaching genius. Mis8 Holcomb: To err is human--to forgive divine. Miss Hammond: To thine own self be true. And it must follow as the night the day Thou canst not then be false to any man. Mr. Kruger: Miss Roush: Speech is silver, silence is golden. Live and let live. Miss Bacon: Mr. Cuber: Education is the only thing you pay for and then try to get as little as you can for your money. Few things are impossible to diligence and skill. Miss Spencer: Be it ever so humble, there s no place like home. THE TROJAN 5 CHARLES ALEXANDER Who keeps our rooms so bright and clean; And never treats the students mean? ’Who cleans the boards and winds the clock; And never forgets the doors to lock? ’Who has a greeting for everyone; And is always cheerfull 1 til day is done? I’m really surprised if you don’t know; Charlie our Janitor, a jolly fellow. WILLARD BROCKWAY AND HIS TRUSTY STEED. Every morning at the strike of the clock; Around the comer comes the bus, and Brock. A toot of the horn and a slide of the door, Come on kids, always room for one more . Then toward school we resume our flight. To return home on the bus at four each night. 6 THE TROJAN Back row: Donna Belle Brockway, Edward Mestdagh, Louis Baird, Stanley Carrick, Gerry Blagg, Bruce Mickle, Ralph Whetstone.

STUDENT ORGANIZATION The Student Organization is an organization mace up of students from the high school. They take part in administering the activities and problems of the school. Two members are chosen from each class and the Vice-President of each class also attends the meetings. The President is chosen from the Junior class and takes up his duties the middle part of the Junior year and holds over through the first half of the Senior year. The organization set up a constitution a few years ago and the same constitution has been retained this year. The meetings of the organization are held every other Thursday. The President takes charge and leads the meetings as well as appointing committees for various occasions. Mr. Mays and Miss Davis were the teachers chosen by tne faculty to take part In our meetings. Throughout the year we have undertaken activities such as, helping various classes by supplying part of the money for the all school parties sponsored by those classes, making preparations for outside speakers; making minor improvements around the school building and grounds; preparing an extra curricular activity schedule; sponsoring the Home-Coming Party, and carrying on discussions tending to overcome student difficulties. The officers for the first semester were: President Joe Jarosz Vice-President Bob Ballentine Secretary Frank Mench Second Semester: President Clayton Robison Vice-Fresident Bob Ballentine Secretary Frank Mench -8_ THE TEQ JAM Mr. Maya Superintendent Eugene Whitcomb Wilber President Basketball,3,4; Baseball ; Track,4; Footballs ; Class Officer 1,2,4; Home Room Officer,!; Student Council, 1,3; Sr. Journalism,3,4 Trojan Staff,3; H-Club, 3,4; Class Play,3.

We elected the following officers: Lawrence Boyd, President; Eugene Whitcomb, Vice President; Anita Green, Secretary; and Doris Shaffer, Treasurer. Miss Hammond was appointed our class advisor. The somewhat dreaded Initiation day arrived, but to tell the truth we enjoyed the day immensely. When the customary Tug of War was announced, there was a fluttering of hearts, but we won a decisive victory over the Sophomores, 'mid cheers irom the onlookers. After the Sophomores ga.ve us a reception, we felt very much a part of the school, and had long since decided to stay. Our main accomplishment of the year was the first Hot Lunch ,Club of Homer High School organized by the Freshmen Home Economics Class and their advisor. Miss McCort. We also sponsored an All-School Party, Jointly with the Junior class. When, in the fall of 1936, we entered High School as Sophor.ores, the following officers were elected: Pres.-Eugene Whitcomb; Vice Pres.-Marion Smith; Sec.-Jeanette Ingraham; and Treasurer-Robert Dawson, with Miss Hammond again our class Advisor. It was soon realized that we should initiate our new fellow classmates, the Freshmen. We even went so far as to give each Freshmen lad a bath at the annual Tug of War. When we thought they were initiated sufficiently, we entertained them at a Reception. We were also responsible for one All-School Party during the year, besides taking part in various other school activities. As Juniors, we selected the following officers: Pres.-Marion Smith; Vice Pres.- Charles Rising, Secretary-Joe Jarosz; and Treasurer-Janet Howe, retaining Miss Hammond as class advisor. That Fall we received our class rings, making us feel that we held a more important place than ever before in Homer High. In the spring we selected our play, The Heathers at_Home. under the direction of Miss Helen Wells. Those taking part were: Robert Ballentlne, Doris Shaffer, George Tasker, Duane Anderson, Perry Phillips, Eugene Whitcomb, Stanley Osborn, Virginia Rice, Doris King, Lawrence Boyd, and Janet Howe. In June we gave a reception and took part in the graduation exercises. When our Senior year arrived-, Eugene Whitcomb became President; Robert Ballen-tine. Vice President; Doris King, Secretary; and Marion Smith, Treasurer. Mr. Cuber became our class advisor. Early in the fall, Mr. Mays suggested a trip to Washington D.C., to be taken after graduation which was enthusiastically received by the class. Since than we have concentrated on raising necessary funds for the trip. We deeply appreciate the cooperation shown by the classes, organizations, and the teachers of Homer High School; also the business men and individuals who have aided us most graciously in securing means for the proposed trip. We presented our play The Absent Minded Professor in late fall. The cast was as follows: Stanley Osborn, Ruth Vosburgh, Helen Kennedy, Virginia Rice, Charlotte But- ters, Doris Shaffer, Perry Phillips, Robert Ballentine, Dorothy Gridley, Duane Anderson, and Jeanette Ingraham. Our Prom will be held May 4, and we will have our Commencement Exercises early in June. THE TROJAN 15.

JUNIOR CLASS HISTORY Of all the years of one s high school career, the last two seem to be the most outstanding, full of excitement, and worth remembering. This has been proven many times in this, our Junior year. On September 5th, our class, numbering 28, met in room E full of vigor and vitality, for we were determined to make this year the most outstanding one yet. Feeling the urge to get started, we chose our class officers, who are: President-Robert Anderson Vice President-Stanley Carrick Secretary-Nancy Cunningham Treasurer-Mary Jarosz Because Miss Wells, our former advisor, left the teaching staff of Homer this year, we put our trust in Miss Holcomb to advise and guide us through the problems we were sure to encounter. We began our activities on October 6th, when we presented the first All School party. Everyone reported an enjoyable evening, and the class of 41 marked down another notable success. Next came one of the highlights of any Junior year, the picking out and ordering of our class banner and rings. After weeks of impatient waiting, we finally received our selection the last week in December. However, while we were waiting, we dia not sit idly by but instead planned and presented a Christmas party on December 19. After the Christmas holidays, we found that the date of our play was creeping up on us so after much discussion and consideration, we chose Crashing Society which, under the direction of Miss Holcomb, we presented on March 7 and 8. The third week of April we entertained our parents at a get-acquainted party in room H. We are also looking forward to our participation in the Commencement exercises and are learning the ropes” so that we can carry on as seniors next year.

FRESHMEN Early in the year the Freshmen Class elected the following officers: President-Raymond Amsler Vice President-Norma Bowersox Sec. and Treas.-Jean Moor Advisor-Miss Bacon The river at Lower Mills was mighty refreshing on September 18. Any of our boys can vouch for that, as they were pulled through twice by the Sophomores. On the morning of the 21 of September we really gave the rest of the student body a thrill with our wardrobe display. Boys in shorts, blouses, a girl’s ha carrying a beach pail and shovel. Girls in overalls, worn backward, straw hat and pipe. All were in stocking feet with a super abundance of makeup. We were guests at a delightful reception where more initiation was forced upon us on the evening of the 22. The Community House was decorated very effectively. We felt very much a part of Homer High School after a most enjoyable evening. We lost one of our most lovable classmates when Dorothy Moclair left to make her home in Pensacola, Florida. A farewell party was given in her honor March 1 in Room H at the school. On March 15 we sponsored our first all school party given in the Community House. We constructed a false ceiling and used the St. Patricks Day Motif. Our first year as members of Homer High School has now drawn to a close. It is our wish that our class will do her share to keep our school home as fine as she always has been.

Although the squad will mourn the loss of four men that they started the season with, they will have men with experience and speed. The men who will not be with us next year are Linton, Jarosz, Smith, and Dawson. Linton and Dawson supplied most of the points, with Baird and Smith following closely. The Reserves completed an unsuccessful season. Letter winner s are: James Linton, Marion Smith, Joe Jarosz, Louis Baird, Robert Dawson and Stanley Carrick.

BASEBALL Homer s green 1939 baseball squad with Jim Linton doing the pitching, Nowlin, Jarosz and Linton doing most of the hitting, Frank Mench showing fine form in the outfield, and Pee Wee Smith performing expertly around second base, broke even in its eight game schedule winning two each from Jonesville and Reading and dropping two each to Litchfield and B. C. Lakeview. The prospects for the 1940 squad were very good. Nine lettermen were available for the team this spring. The following lettermen are playing their last season for Homer: Joe Jarosz, Jim Linton, Marion Smith, Lloyd Nowlin, Perry Phillips, George Tasker, Frank Mench and Robert Dawson. These boys will be back next year to carry on the diamond sport: Melvin King, Stanley Carrick, Robert Feorilla, Ivan Fast, Louis Baird, Raymond Amsler, Vernon Fast, Duel Bartlett, Duane Gregg and some good prospects from next years Freshman class.

TRACK The Homer Trojans after losing a duel went to Marshall High School, defeating Litchfield by one point, placing several men in the Albion Invitational meet, qualifying Erwin Gridley for State meet, came back to its own field to run away with the honors in the Conference meet. The consistent winners for Homer last year were Gridley and Boyd in the mile, Heaton in the shot put. Rising and Carrick in the hurdles and high Jump, Davie 440 and Smith in the dashes. Gridley and Heaton, being the only important losses by graduation, Homer has excellent prospects for capturing the Conference for the third consecutive year and sending several men into the State meet. 26 THE TROJAN Back row: George Booth, Leona Kennedy, Helen Kennedy, Eugene Whitcomb, Stanley Oa- bora, Carl Mench, Ruth Vosburgh, Tressie Stanham, and Mias Hammond-Advisor.

HIGH SCHOOL CHORUS The first production of the year sponsored hy the chorus was the presentation of Berta Elsmiths Arrangement of Humperdinck's charming opera Hansel and Gretel at Christmas time. Two performances were given, at one, a matinee, there were 500 children from the surrounding community in attendance. The principal characters were portrayed by Jean Armstrong, Mildred Hyde, Doris Pratt, Dale Smith and Ralph Whotstone. On April 18 and 19 the Operetta Who Discovered America? was given. It seem that Congress, desiring to settle officially, once and for all, who discovered America, has appointed a Board of College Presidents to hold a Hearing, listen to the advocates argue the claims of Columbus, John Cabot, Vespucci, and Eric the Red and finally naira the true discoverer of America. Dr. Cerebellum, Prof. Diction, General Target and Admiral Broadside are all on tte Board of Judges. The ex-Admiral and the ex-General, wedded to the tradition of tte Army and Navy, respectively, agree to disagree on all possible questions whatsoever. The Doctor has offered the use of his estate for the Hearing, which, though beirg broadcast is of semi private character. Towards the end of the evening Who Discovered America, as a popular subject suffered an eclipse. The Doctors advocate el forts were tlirown xnto the discard, while the brain-trust of Congress concentrated upon solving the problem of his daughter, as the nation stood by. A happy solution was found, even though it still left to posterity the final verdict as to who actually discovered America. The Principals in the Operetta were Ruby Hamilton, June Hicks, Eda Huston, Elizabeth Whetstone, Ellen Henshaw, Helen Kennedy, Robert Ballentine, Robert Janes, Deal Chapman, Louis Baird, Marion Smith, Stanley Carrick, Clayton Robison, Melvin King anl Eugene Whitcomb. The rest of the chorus were College Presidents, Gum-chewing girls. Military ani Naval Cadets. THE TROJAN 29 BAND A shrill wliistlel A roar of drumsl And the band breaks into the familiar strains of a well known march. That i8 the Homer High School Band at football games, basketball games, and other public performances. The Band takes an active part in school life, and it is a conspicuous factor in the success of many school activities. Mr. Conway Peters comes to Homer once a week bringing four Albion College Seniors to give instruction to members of our beginning instrument class. These people will prove very valuable in future years when the present members of the Band have graduated. In addition to the annual concert the Band played a concert each night of the Harvest Festival last fall, gave two concerts for the local Monday Club, Journeyed to Bronson for the football game, gave a program for the Fourth Annual Parent Institute, all under the direction of Ruth Bacon the Music Supervisor.
