Trojan Triumphs The seniors adopted the tale of King Arthur and the Knights of the T-Table for their class theme. They designed tlieir snow sculpture and wing decorations after King Arthur ' s stately castle. Their motto was Just as the spirit made by the three witches helped King Arthur conquer the dx ' agon, so the spirit of the stu- dent body will help the Trojans de- feat Muskegon and Mona Shores. The juniors selected the legend of Tarzan, fabricating it into the legend of Trozan. Decorating their wing like a jungle, they constructed exotic trees, cannibals, and wild animals. We catch ' em . We beat ' em . We cook ' em. We eat ' em, the juniors motto, expressed the school ' s as- surance in defeating its basketball opponents . Robin Hood and His Merry Tro- jans, the sophomores ' theme, stimu- lated the underclassmen ' s pep. They sculptured Brother John out of snow and reconstructed Sherwood Forest in their wing. 27
