S ly' A v ' Q l gk? ' 635 I J. If A . i. OUR HIGH SCHOOL In l9ll the first Senior graduating class from New 'Trov consisted of two students. The new Troy High School then was a wood frame constructio 1h 1924 Our high school was accredited by the University of Michigan. At present our high school is a modern brick two story construction. It was erected in 1928 by the Max Stock Company. The New Troy High School was erected at a cost of S75,000. At the dedication ceremonies a copper box containing old newspapers, stationery from the school board, the academic courses offered in the high school, and a list of the members of the faculty was placed in the corner stone. During the thirty nine years of the existence of both the old and the new high school five hundred and seventy seven students have been graduated. The number of graduates have increased to the highest of forty in 1946 from the small nundber of two in 1911. The graduating class of this year consists of thirty three members. In the many years of service to our community, our school has helped to prepare our youth for its task of being the future citizens of America. l -'A ' '+L' A ' nu A- -,-1 3 FOREWORD We, the Seniors, in presenting the 1949 TROJAN, the first annual in the history of our school, wish to remind you of all the happy memories of the past year.

Once again we were in a world shining with the brilliance of peace. It gave everyone new hope for the future instead of the thoughts of war. Our class is the thirty-eighth Senior class to graduate from New Troy. We have ai grand total of thirty-three in our class which is about average compared to other years. During our first years of high school we were green and everything was new and exciting to us. During our Junior year we became more active in school life and conducted a successful magazine sale. As a climax to the year we found it was our privilege to entertain the Seniors. The affair was a colorful and enjoyable banquet and prom given at the Whitcomb Hotel in Saint Joseph. In our Senior year Ted Anderson was elected president of the Student Council with Jacqueline Erickson as Commissioner of Student Welfare. Senior class officers were: Dale Casto, presidentg Jerry Vitek, vice-president, Mary McMillian, secretary, and Gordon Glade, treasurer. I Four Senior boys who played their last year of basketball for New Troy are: Raymond Harfert, Dale Casto, Bob Schaffer and Bill Boyd. These boys had a very large share in helping make New Troy's basketball season so successful. U The boys who helped make our baseball team what it is are: Jerry Vitek, Bill Brueck, Hank Ott, Bob Schaffer, Dale Casto, Raymond Harfert, and Bill Boyd. A Senior girl, Carol Bindon, served as a cheerleader. The honor of being chosen king and queen of our annual fall festival went to Carol Bindon and Dale Casto, Seniors who included band as one of their extra-curricular activities this year 17 were Barbara Hokanson, Carol Penland, Phyllis Goodline, Carol Bindon and Art Burke. Strictly Formal is the three act comedy play presented by the Senior class, April 1. Included in the cast are: Jacqueline Erickson, Carol Penland, Carol Bindon, Barbara Hokanson, Carlyn Reitz, Roberta Weaver, Elsie King, Alice Weich, Violet Korbelic, Jerry Vitek, Bill Priest, Bill Boyd, Raymond I-larfert, Dale Casto, Bob Schaffer, and Dorothy Phillips. The play was under the direction of Miss Betty Miller, head of the English Department. The class was sponsored by Mr. Arthur Guse, popular coach. Being we are Seniors we are allowed to skip a day of school. Looking at our treasury and the size of our class we decided to make Chicago our destination. Chicago lived up to everybody's hopes and everyone had a very good time. The 1942-49 Trojan Staff included the following Seniors: Mary McMillan, editorg Jacqueline Erickson, assistant editor, Carol Penland, activity editor, Shirley Hildebrandt, Senior editorg Helen Durkot, art editorg and Barbara Hokanson, music editor. Mr. Guse was the sponsor. Girls' glee club was well represented by the Seniors. They were instrumental in making several activities in the high school and town organizations successful. On the whole the Senior class enjoyed a successful and profitable year. Throughout our Annual we have tried to give ample evidence of the interests and activities of our Senior year. We have tried to do our share to make clubs, sports and fun of school life bear the imprint of the Class of 1949. 18 SENIOR PALS OF YESTERYEAR As we look ahead let's drop in on the Senior Class of 49 a few years from now and see what we find them doing ......

Before this an orchestra was organized, but was inactive. During its earlier existence the band partook in a few events but present- ed itself without uniforms. ln 1941, the group had grown to the outstanding number of forty, many of whom were grade school members. In the same year the organization was presented with green capes and caps, their first uniforms, by the P.T.A. Each member furnished his own white shirt and trousers. The band, having made this encouraging gain, had dwindled down to twenty-one members when Mrs. Tibbles accepted the position as music director in the fall of '43. The memberships wavered between twenty and twenty-five during the following three years. Several basic members graduated during this time bring- ing the nurnber down to sixteen in 1946. But through the efforts and encourage- ment of Mrs. Tibbles, many new members were admitted into the band to increase its nurnber by a few members each year. This year a membership campaign was launched along with one for new uniforms. In the fall of '49, twenty-three members enrolled and in the second semester nine new members were promoted from the Junior Band, making a total membership of thirty-two at the end of the year. New uniforms were purchased with the help of the Trojan Band Boosters Club and through the hard work on the part of the band--the dream of a year and a half was realized and the new band uniforms were worn at the beginning of the years activities. 30 warmed L. was V?

Penland Treasurer Phyllis Goodline BAND ACTIVITIES The first activity of the Band occurred in Three Oaks last October, when we accepted the invitation of the Three Oaks Lions Club to march in the Halloween parade with four other bands in this vicinity. Our first appearance at home was at the Fall Festival, where we played both nights and had the pleasure of wearing our new uniforms. Soon after Thanksgiving each year we begin marching drills on the gym floor, and this year we did our share in maintaining the school spirit and pride at the basketball games, along with taking part in several pep meetings. The Band has made splendid progress as was shown at the Annual Spring Concert on March 18, at which we played numbers ranging from popular to classical. For the first time in the history of our school band we entered the S.W.M.B.O.A. District Festival at Kalamazoo where we competed with all Class C bands. Our record there confirms the fact that the members have worked hard all year, both individually and collectively. Closing activities on the year's program are the parade and contest at New Buffalo for the Track Meet and the Memorial Day services in which the band always participates. It is impossible to sum up a year's work without recalling the efforts of some of the band members who entered the 'S.W.M.B.O.A. Solo Festival at Bangor. The following received honors: Barbara Hokanson--saxophoneg Carol Penland-1-clarinet: Mary Ellen Penland--baritoneg Ann Holtz--fluteg Anne Tibbles --pianog Sandra Hutchison, Starr and Alice Brightbill--twirling. Alice was elected by the band members in the fall to be the Drum Majorette and she is to be commended for the fine manner in which she has led the band on parade this year. Special mention should be made of the five Seniors in our bahd: Carol Pe'nland, Carol Bindon, Barbara Hokanson, and Arthur Burke. They have worked hard all through high school to improve the Band and their loyalty will never be forgotten. 32 ROW 4 C. Bindong E. Kingg S. Hildebrandtg E. Fryerg B. Blairg W. Richardson: V.

GIRLS' GLEE CLUB The Girls Glee Club has been a part of the high school activities for many years. Records show that credit for glee club was given as early as 1922. Membership has always been restricted to high school students with a desire to sing, and during the last few years, membership has averaged fifty girls. The first annual event in which the glee club participates is the Fall Festival. Each year the chorus helps with the two programs presented by the Music Department. This year the Girls' and Boys' Choir, with the aid of Miss Miller and the English Department, presented a candlelight service at Christmas entitled Christmas In Song , Story, and Picture. It has become a yearly custom for a small group from the glee club to present the music at the Christmas meeting of the local women's organization The Trojan Club. lrnportant spring events are the Annual Concert presented each spring at the school and the Berrien County Vocal Festival at St. Joseph. Part of the music for graduation exercises is presented by the Vocal Departrnent, when they furnish at least one nurnber for Baccalaureate and Commencement. 33 ROW l Barbara H., Suzzane J., Carol B., Miss Wire, Dorothy P., Marjorie C., Betty E., Alice B., Arlene W., Marilyn L.

The Trojanettes opened their season by playing the Undefeated Bisonettes who haven't lost a game in the past three years of play. After a poor showing in the first quarter the team settled down and played good ball, but due to our lack of zone defense training the Bisonettes could not be stopped---defeating us Z9-17. . . Jeannine Boyd scored twelve points while M. Kissman of New Buffalo scored sixteen points. Next game again with the Strong Bisonettes ....... Using a zone defense our guards held New Buffalo to a 19-10 half-time score. During the last quarter guard Elsie Knapp, who was guarding M.

Jeannine Boyd scored fourteen points while Garlanger on St. John's 47 team scored eight points ..... ln a return game with St. .lohn's we had an 1-asy victory with a score of 37-21.

For the first time this season each of the girls on the squad had a chance to play for a few minutes ....

The teams consisted of the entire girls' squad and the following members of the faculty: Mr. DeMooy, Mr. Guse, Mrs. Tibbles, Miss Wire, Miss Miller, Mrs. Van Dyke, Mrs. Hutchison, and Miss Edinger. It was those tricky long passes back and forth across the court between DeMooy and Guse that kept the spectators eyes rolling. Jerry Schaffer with clear. cool water and Mrs. McCorkle with thirsty clean towels refreshed the teams during time out. Guse was high with a score of fifteen points. . Hutchison was runner up with a score of ten points and DeMooy with a score of six points tlost on foulsl . . . . Jeannine Boyd tipped in seventeen points. .Ackerman four points and Woodrick two points. . . the final score 31-Z3 .... History was written ..... Faculty Vs Students on hardwood floor. Two games remain to be played before the season is completed. Betty Edinger, coach of the New Troy Trojanettes is looking forward to a big 1949-50 season as no players will be lost because of graduation .... 48 NEW TROY SCHOOL SONG The original New Troy school song was Wc're Loyal To You, New Troy High sung to the tune of Illinois Loyalty. A contest took place in 1937 offering to the student who composed the most original lyrics and music for a new school song, a small prize of a few dollars. Several students participated in the contest and the winner was a Freshman John Denman. The music was a tune which he had heard in Chicago but the words were genuinely of his own composition. The original copy of the words in John's hand writing, with the final corrections, is in the office file. This song is the one we all know and sing at every athletic event. The words are: New Troy, we're ever loyal To our own dear Green and White: We're going on the floor right now, and for you we're going to fight, Rah, rah Tho the odds be overwhelming We will fight for your fair name. We will run that ball right down the line New Troy, we'1l win that game! We now use as a final yell, the quick phrase: Trojans, rah, rah, rah, Trojans! 49 AX i AU 1 0-cJs APH23 N5-. 3 Rats?
