The 1944 Trojan 18 pub-11 shed by the Journalism Club In an effort to keep the memories of the past alive with pictures and snapshots of our many activities. Because of the war-time conditions, we have substituted snapshots and drawings where we formerly had larger photographs. We have tried to do our best with the time and materials available and we sincetely hope you like it. TROJAK Hosier Commit? School At the Annual for 1944 it being planned, the Board of Iducation it placing for a new tchool to terve the contolidated tchool district, formed since the 1943 Annual was published A new building it being detigned to serve approximately seven hundred pupilt and will provide courses adapted to all grades and subjects from the kindergarten through the twelfth grade. It is also being planned to serve the conmunity for meetings, recreation and for adult education At the time this goes to press, there is still probability of change. However, the general design and most of the details are determined. The building will have many modern features which will provide pupils and cltitens with facilities more adequate than have ever been available The structure will be in the shape of a BT . The front part will be two stories. The gymnasium is planned for the south end serving as a field house to the athletic field A large shop is being placed at the back of the bull ing. The Home Economics, Commercial, Agriculture and Science Courses will find ample room for the development of a strong program. A Cafeteria is Included to care for hot lunches, especially needed in serving those who must be away from home all day The building is of fire proof material, brick,concrete and stone, and will face Hillsdale Street, using a part of the old school site, and will extend on to newly acquired properties TROJAN 3 We, the Journalism Club of Homer High School, would like to pay special tribute to Mr. Guy Putnam who has served on our school board for twenty-five years, and serving the last eighteen of these as Secretary. It is men like Mr. Putnam and other members of the board that we may thank for our fine education and the future education they are building for others who are to follow us. We would also like to take this opportunity to express our deepest gratitude to the other members of the board and to Mr. aae for the fine training we have received during our years in high school. The last two years, they, as well as we, have been handicapped by existing conditions; but have stuck cy us at every turn and always provided the things we have needed to carry on. 4 TROJAS C, y  ■ 6 i f a v-i Hi v  «a A.

This year the five persons elected to serve on the Board of Eduoation have more responsibility than ever before, as It is the first year the sohool has operated under the new consolidated system. They are not only the leaders and directors of Homer Community school at the present time, but, also, are laying a pattern for the education of future students for the Community school area. This task has many complications due to the fact that there Is no school building and other war-time conditions. There Is much planning being done by the Board of Education regarding the development of the new school building. The students and parents owe a great deal to the group whloh has done so much for education In the past and In planning the future. 6 TROJAU L. Jl.

Ie set out on olane in 1344 and arriv-d at Domlny field in 1960, where we decided to atop awhile before going on to our final destination in life. The minute I stepped off of the plane, who should 1 meet but Senator Donald Haight and hie wife, the former M ry alien Lawrence, also his secretary Bernlta Worden, waiting for a plane to Aashington D.C. He hardly had time to speak but he seems to be doing very well for himself. Berneta looked very smart in the new suit designed by Barbara Mills. Barbara's Dress Design 8hoo in New York City has brought her a fortune. I took a taxi to the hotel and checked in. As I started to my room to freshen up a bit, I was attracted by a shouting in one oorner of the lobby. Doris Linton and her husband, the ooach at Notre Dame, were having a heated argument and from what 1 could hear the disagreement was about whloh one was to take care of their two children that evening while the other went out. My Goodnesst!I oouldn't they hire someone? Continuing on the way to my room, my eye fell on an article in a newspaper about a concert being held that night with Jean Armstrong as guest olanist. I deolded to attend the concert. Anyhour later I emerged from my room and went down to dinner. As I orossed the lobby 1 met Dorotha Larder. She 1s the pilot of a heliocopter, working for the Parker Alroraft Co., owned by Robert Parker. Bud has sure made a huge success of that heliocopter business. My dinner was served to me by head waitress, Ruth Sprague. After dinner I took a taxi to the ooncert hall where Jean Armstrong was to appear. However, this is only her stage name, as she is married and her husband is oonduotlng a school for would-be-musicians. I was ushered into the hall and after being seated, looked around me. In the seat next to me was sitting Jean Slout, a very famous Chemist.At present Jean is working on a book describing the chemical food she has recently developed whioh keeps all who eat it healthy, wealthy and wise. After the ooncert, 1 decided to walk to the hotel. I oame to a shop with a neon sign in front with the works Hewitts Horsemeat Homburge. My curlouslty aroused, X went in. Behind the oounter stood vlrgll Hewitt, making a Horsemeat Hamburg 8peclal. I ordered one and picked up a newspaper to read while eating it. It was the §omer Dally Tribune, and believe it or not it was a 35 page paper. Robert Ayant is the editor you know. I became so interested in the news in the paper I hardly noticed when Roy Maurer came In and eat beside me. He Just stopped off for a lunoh before catohlng a train to Reno to get his fifth divorce. After he left, I went back to the article in the paper. There was one which particularly interested me. The article said (Quote) ARMY OFFICIAL SEARCH FOR LOCAL MAS. Set. Laurel Flndlev who has been A.W.O.L. ror two months is the object of a wide search by army official, Oaptain Jim Avery. Prior to his dieappearanoe he was stationed at Ft Custer. No reason was given for his leaving. It is more or less of a habit that’he aoqulred while attending Homer High School, (unquote) Another item stated that Helen Wlldt was returning to Africa as a missionary for the third time. By this time I had finished my hamburg, which was exceptionally good and decided to take a Guide Bus out to the suburbs. On my way I saw a fisher man laying on the bank of a small river. To my amazement it was Dale Smith— and I thought he was an industrious person. Going a little farther we came to a very large dairy farm. The buildings were purple with green roofs trimmed in white. On the largest building was inscribed in big letters—Burns' Better Butter Farms. 2Q TRGJAU The guide then informed ue that we would stop for a little while to watoh the Donkay Ball game which was now in progress. Evidently the score was oretty dose for the fans were cheering wildly. But one person seemed more enthu8iactic than the others for her face was red as a beet and she was sweating furiously. I thought at first I had recognized her and now as I drew oloser I knew who it was, it was Dorothy Easton. 8he was manager of the team Evidently a good one too, for her team had gone undefeated this far. 8he told me she would like to have me meet her Bat - Boy. Was I surprised to see Lemolne 8mith filling this position. My, the world is full of surprises isn't it?? After chatting awhile the guide called all aboard and we all got in. After riding about ten minutes the radio, one of these new exclusive tyoe8, built in the floor and will give you any station you are thinking about It hapoened that someone wanted some news and news it was. Flash Doris Pratt, multimillionaire heiress, has Just eloped with some strange man from Reno, however our most famous detective, Charlene Green is on her trail with a Sub-Marine!■ This startling information was followed by another almost as startling. Miss Evelyn talker of Hawaii, has just been ohosen Miss Hawaii of 1960 and was making a tour of the Americas. Hawaii, you know has Just oeen admitted as the 49th state. Evidently the person stopped thinking beoauee at this moment the news cast was cut short and what should we hear but Call Fo r Phillip Morris and as the original Johnny developed a bad throat ailment who should be substituting but Stanley Cleland. Ginny Simms who has been on the Johnny Presents Program is a Seargent in the army, and so ably taking over her position is the new Swoon Crooner, Gladys Mansfield. e In the seat beside me lay a newspaper, hot off the Dress—the press you know, was built in the top of the bus and was operated 2,000 miles away bv Abe. This was the twelve o'clock edition. Turning to the page dedicated to oelebreties, I was amazed to read in large type at the top that Dorothy Densmore who is a movie actress had just won the Academy award for the best individual Derformance in the picture Too Many Husbands whlon has been currently showing at Homer. In a little smaller type, a little farther down the page, I read Torm r Homer Girl makes good as a song oompoeer. She writes FA3T songs you snow the boogie woogie type, Get it? The composer was none other thin Olenna Folk. To the right of this I read an article of equal interest. It stated that there had been introduced in Hollywood a girl dlreotor of moving Diotur«« mips Mildred Hakes, who was sole director of Regal Pictures Ino. Doing fine too. The only trouble was she was overworking. The last picture in which there appeared 56 characters, she had personally portrayed 42 herself. Straight ahead there appeared a circus—and we were told that we wmilri stop here for a short time. The first person to greet me was Eruoe MicVl mhn owns the whole affair.

(con t from D ge 20.) One of the congressmen told me that they hod hired one of the beet Janitors In the country to keep the building tidy. This person being Weston Weiss. But something new had been added. Pork had hired for hie assistants, three bathing beauties, right off the beach of Homer Lake, the famous summer resort. Strange that Pork should hire women for assistants. He never used to oare much for them baok in the good old days. Ella Adams had Just been hired as elevator girl and she was having a hilarious time riding up and down in the building with no one in the elevator but herself. Going on in to the business section of town I suddenly decided I should like to visit the Doolittle Seymore Co. As you know Mildred Hyde is the business manager there. She started out as secretary and the boss thought she was so good that they exchanged places and he is now serving as her able secretary. And so as the time grows shorter to catch my plane back to Domlny Field I leave to all this rhyme in Remembrance of the 8enior Class as a whole A few more meetings and farewells, All of us await A few more smiles, a few more tears, It's not worth while to hate. _____TR0J4M_____________________ZL SEVENTH GRADE Back rowi lari L«wr«nc«, Arnold Telnert, Ral h Blchardton, Bichard Murphy Second rowi Cecil fowler, Robert Anaatroag, Paul Cleland, Teddy Flaming, Thomas Wallace, Dickie Hickerson. front ro«t Patty Patton, Mary Avery, Carol Warner, Lots Bradley.

These pep books oontalned the school yells and songs and they went over quite successfully. By struggling quite hard at least one of the Cheer Leaders was able to find transportation to every game our boys played. All of us managed to attend the tournament at Qulnoy. On February 18, 1944, the Cheer Leaders were presented with a gift from Mr. and Mrs. Whetstone which we were very pleased to receive. We hope to be able to carry on our aotlvlty next year.
