If you only knew the good times we've had. It might seem as good as gold. Nine times we've put out the Headlight. We all helped with the Trojan too. We've really worked with all our might Here's hoping it had been pleasing to you. It was tough going once in a while And we've said that we were through. But we always ended up with a smile And are repaid, now the year is through. Many things we've learned this year In what Journalism we have done. There really was nothing to fear For it was interesting and lots of fun. To next year's class we've this to say We hope you'll carry through. And we hope for you there'll cone a day That you'll have a friend as true. And so to our teacher of Homer High To give her the credit that's due, This Trojan of ours----'twill never die, We dedicate, Miss Hammond, to you. S. J. C. 2 THE TROJAN The Red Brick Building Down at the edge of town There stands a building red; Where every day the students go. Their main idea—to forge ahead. Down the road we see the bus That makes its rounds each day; There s music in the wheels that spin. Carrying students on their way. The bell that rings there every morn To call the students one by one; The hours really go so fast That soon the day is done. Mary Lee Osborn Everybody s Friend When Mr. Alexander uses his mop and broom The dust flies and things begin to boom. He sweeps the halls and cleans the stair. And does it all with the greatest of care. When his hearty laugh echoes through the hall. Then you feel the happiness behind it all. With a cheery word and a happy smile. He mends the chairs and works all the while. He rings the bell to bring the students in. And if you are tardy, he may ring it again. F. E.

Miss Holcomb: Say, I'd like to see you a minute. Mr. Cuber: Here is an example---. Mr. Krueger: Hurry--hurry--come on. Miss Davis: You girls are awful noisy this morning. Mr. Olson: Let's wait for the second bell. Miss Fletcher: Why teachers get gray. Mr. Mays: Now, in Pennsylvania---. Miss Bacon: Come on folks, pep it up a little.

As dignified as Freshmen can be, we elected: President, Clayton Robison; Vice President, Renny Cutcher; Secretary, Nancy Cunningham; Treasurer, Dorothy Smith. Miss Wells took over the difficult task of being our class advisor. We went through the usual routine of tug-of-war, initiation, and reception. As Sophomores, numbering thirty one, we met with our advisor, Miss Wells, and elected officers. The officers were as follows: President, Renny Cutcher; Vice President, Mary Jarosz; Secretary, Louise Lrumm; Treasurer, Eliz.aoeth roxk. We had all the thrill of initiating the Freshies, the tug-of-war, then the reception. The Junior year found much excitement for us. There were twenty-eight in our class and this year Miss Holcomb became our advisor. ’We received our class rings and picked out our class banner. After hours of practice, we presented Crashing Society on Merch 7th and 8th. Our officers were: President, Robert Anderson; Vice President, Stanley Carrick; Secretary, Nancy Cunningham; Treasurer, Mary Jarosz. We enjoyed very much taking part in Commencement, thus closing a happy and profitable school year. At last, we are Seniors. Twenty four of us. With heads high, hopes high, and spirits high we try to achieve our goal. Miss Holcomb again became our advisor. We started the year with election of officers: President, Ivan Fast; Vice President, Louis Baird; Secretary, Peggy Finley Treasurer, Mary Jarosz. V e presented our Senior Play, Home Town Girl in the fall. At the end of the year we are planning to take a trip to Washington D. C. and wish to extend our appreciation to all those who have helped us with this project. During the year we have held several dances, had charge of an Amateur Show, sold candy and other refreshments at entertainment and in other ways attempted to earn money for the trip. With forward glances toward the Prom and Commencement, we close a happy, incomparable book of knowledge wishing good luck to all we leave in Homer High School. 10 THE TROJAN SENIOR PLAY CAST- — HOME TOWN GIRL.

We had a class meeting the second week of scnool and chose the following officers; President----------------------Jerry Blagg Vice President----------Bob Mestdagh Secretary----------------------Ellen Henshaw Treasurer-----------------------Jean Reichow Class Advisor--------------------Mr. Olson We began our activities by sponsoring the second school party.

We elected the following officers: President----------------Raymond Amsler Vice President-----------Jeanne Bowersox Secretary Treasurer----Jean Moor Our first exciting event of the year, was the tug of war held at the Lower Mill on September 18. Here the green freshies took a ducking. On September 21, we were initiated by the Sophomores, and on the evening of Septan-ber 22, they gave us an unforgettable reception. During the month of March, we gave our first all-school party, which turned out to be a big success. The Community House was decorated in green and white, representing St. Patrick s Day. On September 4th, 1940 we started our second year of High School, and elected the following officers: President----------------Robert Feorilla Vice President-----------Donna Vincent Secretary Treasurer----Jeanne Bowersox We also elected Mr. Davis as our class advisor. To our chagrin we were again pulled through the Lower Mill, but this was soon forgotten, as the next day we Initiated the Freshies. On the lucky day of Friday the thirteenth, we gave the Freshmen their reception, to which they responded very well. This year our all-school party came on February 28th, and in spite of much illness it was qjuite well attended.

JOURNALISM CLASS .Ve are the class that writes the news Of plays and games and Clubs; But as seasoned newspaper hounds. It's true, we re certainly cubs. Around Miss Hammond we revolve As the earth around the sun. For she's the brains of our little group And like her, there is none. Faye Frederick is our Editor. By her orders we are bound. Dot Smith, too, has ideas. And many are profound. Shirley Case is our typist. She types dummies with a groan. Eunice went after ads for the Trojan. Much good will, she was shown. Clayton is our male factor. He writes sports and turns the cranks. Elizabeth does a bit of everything. Even playing pranks. Nancy believes her art is good; And really it's not so bad. Joyce is another typist Whose good work makes us glad. Roberta duns people for money. She runs them down with a will. Shirley Measel has an infectious laugh. We hope she's laughing still. Isabel does her part, and Ethel too Dummying, stenciling, writing. Any odd jobs just to help out. With hardly a thought of fighting. Geraldine's specialty is also ads From Homer and other cities. Ada and June spend their time Wasting paper, writing ditties. On the whole we've had more fun Than any of us expected. We certainly hope you've liked our work And to it, you've not objected. J. E. H.

STUDENT COUNCIL In order that Democracy may be a functional process, individuals must start early in life to take the responsibilities which a Democracy demands of its constituents. Democracy, like any other form of government, demands its members be trained in order that it be strong and lasting. We feel that the Public School should play a dominent role in this process. The school council is an organization in which the students may participate in the administration of the student activities of the school. The council consists of two members chosen from each home room also the Vice President of each class. The president is chosen each year at the beginning of the second semester from tne Junior class. Regular meetings are held every two weeks on Monday during the activity period, with the president presiding over each meeting.

DASHING NEEDLES 4-H CLUB To make the Best, Better. On September 23, 1940 28 girls met In Room H of Homer High School, to continue the Dashing Needles 4-H Club, under the leadership of Miss Marjorie Davis. The following members were elected officers: President-----------Eda Huston Vice President---Leila Cutcher Secretary--------Mildred Hyde Treasurer--------Betty Larder News Reporter-------Ada Floyd Because Leila and Mildred could not fulfill their offices, Betty Jones was elected to take Leila s place, and Vivian Burns to take Mildred s place. In November some of the members attended a football game at Michigan State. One of the biggest events of the year was a Joint party of the boys and girls 4-H Clubs which took place at the home of Ada Floyd, In March 1941. Games were played and refreshments were served. Other big events were the Spring Achievement days. Local Achievement day was held at the Homer Community House April 2, 1941 at which the best dresses were chosen to go to Marshall at the County Achievement day April 9, 1941. On that memorable day our club members were rather frightened, but they came home successful, for there were twelve members from our club who received gold seals. We, also, had three of our members on the County Honor Roll. They are as follows: Ada Floyd in complete costume, Eda Huston in 4-H girl in wool, and Ella Adams in the room project. We had one member who received the honor of being selected as one of the local delegates to Club Week at Michigan State College at East Lansing for a week. We are proud of our club members even the ones who did not receive gold seals for we feel sure that next year they will try a little harder to make the best. Better.

One of the college boys takes those who are Just learning to play instruments to a different room and helps them until they are able to come and play with the band. The rest of us practice pieces for the concert and other public appearances. In the fall we practice marching and play at the football games. Sometimes we are asked to play for different occasions, and we accept if at all possible. There are 40 in the band and we are getting along nicely. In addition to the Annual Spring Concert which was given May 22 nd, the Band played for both the Republican and Democratic rallies, Monday Club, Parent Institute and many ball games, under the direction of Miss Ruth Bacon.

DICKEN’S CHRIST!'AS CAROL The High School Chorus sponsored two productions during the year. The First was given at Christmas time when a performance of Dicken's Christmas Carol was given.

Sitting: Louis Baird, Stan- ley Carrick, Paul Rice, Clayton Robison and Bob Davie. Absent-Bob Feorilla and Carl Kench. The Homer Trojans suffered a very disastrous football season, dropping decisions in all eight of its contests. A small, light squad, never more than eighteen boys, and usually a dozen, with an average weight of slightly over 145 pounds to the man, probably handicapped us a great deal. In the opening game, Quincy held Homer scoreless while gaining a 21-0 victory. Union City had to put on all its power to come from behind and chalk up a 21-14 decision. An agressive Athens club scored four times in its 25-0 victory. In a night game at Reading, faint glimmers of victory died out when a last quarter drive stalled on the 10 yard line, the Rangers went on to win a 13-2 contest. Bronson s champions smothered us under a 26-0 blitzkrieg, and the following week our ancient foe, Litchfield, pinned a 28-0 defeat to our record. Parma, in a muddy battle, slid thru to a 7-6 victory. In the final, Jonesville halted several Homer drives and punched across two touchdowns to win 12-0. Homer scored 22 points to their opponents 153. The boys earning letters were: Seniors: Mel” King, Louie” Baird, Carl Mench, Claty Robison, Stan” Carrick, and Paul Rice. Juniors: Bob Davie. Sophomores: nFuzzy Amsler, Bob Morey, Bob Feorilla. Freshmen: Mel Hakes, Carl Hatch, and Porky Weiss. THE TROJAN 29 Pack Row- Mr. Krueger, Coach, Bud Parker, Clayton Robison. Rice, Bob Davie, Fuzzy Amsler Darrel Butters, Weston Weiss, Carl Hatch, Vernon Fast, Front Row- Bob Feorilla, Ivan Fast, Stanley Carrick, Paul BASKETBALL The graduation of several seniors left the 1940-41 basketball squad with lack of experience in large quanities. In spite of that handicap, and another of flu and mumps, the team equaled the record of the previous season, and in many respects exceeded it. Before being crippled by the mump bug, four consecutive conference victories put us at the top of the league, and st jnped us as real threats for the title. After that however our fortunes waned and we dropped the next five conference games, finally finishing fifth in the standings. Our letter winners were: Capt. Stan Carrick—a stalwart on defense and director of the attack; Paul Rice—new comer, reliable, steady, a real tower under both baskets; Bob Davie—scrappy, hard working, guard; Bob Feorilla— Sophomore boy we expect great things from in the next two years; Ray Amsler— lanky lad, came along fast near the end of the season; Porky Weiss—Cocky, tempestuous, promising freshmen; Mel Hakes—reserve player until tourncjnent time, showed real effort and ability; Ivan Fast—Hard working senior guard.

BASEBALL The 1940 baseball season brought forth an unusual and unprecedented result. Each team In the eastern division of the Little C Conference split their two game series with each of the other teams, leaving Homer, Litchfield, Reading and Jonesville all tied for first place. Rain prevented a play-off of the tie, and Bronson who won all of their six conference games won the conference trophy. In addition to winning three of six conference games, Homer won two games from their strong outside foe, Battle Creek, Lakeview. Gabby Linton carried the pitching task and was supported by a promising freshman curveballer, Bol? Feorllla. The big guns in their attack were Left fielder, Frank Mench and first baseman, Ivan Fast; third baseman, Stan Carrlck, with Peewee Smith, Joe Jar-osz and Lloyd Nowlin doing their share of socking. Those to earn letters were: Stanley Carrlck, Robert Dawson, Ivan Fast, Robert Feorllla, Joe Jarosz, James Linton, Lloyd Nowlin, Perry Phillips, Captain Marlon Smith, and George Tasker. The scores for the Season were as follows: Homer 1 Homer 4 Homer 1 Homer 15 Homer 5 Homer 4 Homer 1 Homer 4 Litchfield 8 Reading 0 Jonesville 8 B.C. Lakeview 12 Litchfield 2 Reading 7 Jonesville 0 B.C. Lakeview 3 The 1941 squad has but three veterans in its lineup, but has some very good prospects from the Freshman and Sophomore classes. Stan Carrlck, Ivan Fast, Paul Rice, Butch Gregg, Louie Baird, and Maurice Benham are the Seniors on this year’s squad. The boys that will be back to do or die for dear old Homer will be: Fuzzy Amsler, Bob Feorllla, Bruce Mickle, Carl Hatch, Porky Weiss, Vernon Fast, Earnest Ball, Melvin Hakes, and Virgil Hewitt.

A Trojan trotter finished first in every event except the polevault, and placed many seconds and thirds. At the Albion Invitational meet, we placed the following boys: Lawrence Boyd 2nd in the 1 mile run. Bob Davie 2na in the 440 yd. dash, and our relay team of Smith, Carrick, Davie and Robison, tied for first with Plainwell H. S. Homer’s trackmen placed second in the Regional meet at Kalamazoo. Chuck Rising tied the high hurdle second in the preliminaries and placed second in the finals of the low and high hurdles. Bob Davie led the field in the 440, Stan Carrick tied for 1st with 14 other fellows in the high Jump, L. Boyd took second honors in the mile run. Zeke Baird came third in the half mile and Smith, Carrick, Davie and Robison finished well in front of the field in winning the half mile relay. The State meet showed us what competition really was. Boyd placed fifth in the mile. Rising placed third in the low hurdles, and fifth in the high hurdles. Even tho the relay team ran faster than it ever had before it finished sixth,Just one place from the point column. We have five letter-men around which to build our 1941 squad; Carrick, Davie, Baird, Robison and Feorilla. Several promising freshmen and sophomore boys and others give us hope of repeating our conference championships of the last three years. 32 THE TROJAN Back row- Mr. Krueger, Advisor , Weston Weiss, Carl Hatch, Paul Rice, Robert kestdagh, Clayton Robison.

H-Club The H Club is an exclusive organization consisting only of the boys who have the ability to earn their H in any one of the four major sports; football, basketball, baseball, or track. Due to the fact that graduation cut many out of the H Club, we operated most of the year with relatively few members. The football season brought on several new prospects, but due to much sickness the official ceremonies for their entry was postponed until nearly spring. During the first half of the year Louis Baird, President, and Bob kestdagh, Secre-tary-Treasurer, were our officers. The members left from the year before were as follows: Ivan Fast, Clayton Robison, Stanley Carrick, Robert Feorilla, Robert Morey, Bob Davie and Carl Uench. At the start or the second semester we chose Robert Davie to lead us, and Robert Feorilla, to handle the Secretary-Treasurer job. New members who were initiated one fine evening at the Fast’s farm were: Paul Rice, Glen Betz, Raymond Amsler, Melvin Hakes, Carl Hatch, and Weston Weiss. The requirements for earning a letter in each of the sports is as follows: Football: Practice regularly, and play a part of any 8 quarters. Basketball: Practice regularly, and play a part of any 12 quarters. Baseball: Practice regularly, play in 15 complete innings. Track: Practice regularly, place first in any regularly scheduled track meet, score six points during the season, or place in any meet in which three or more teams are entered.
