' ' 'iii' S8lli0I' CIEISS hiSt0l'Y Enthusiastic, eager to become a real part of the student body, our class of 156 entered Troy High in 1936 determined to participate whole-heartedly in the multifarious activities of school life. As freshmen, most of our energies were devoted to scholastic achievements. Mark Hance had the honor of being awarded a trip to Washington, D. C., for writing a winning essay in the American Legion Essay Contest. As sophomores, we entered many extra-curricular activities, giving them our support and receiving much valuable experience in return. This year Richard Miller was fortunate in winning a trip to Washington, D. C., awarded by the American Legion Essay Contest Committee. By our junior year, we had become more completely adjusted to high school life and were able to assume many leadership responsibilities. Hay- den Young, Thomas Shanesy, Fred Hosley, and Marjorie Pettay were class oflicers. Eight juniors, Gene Schnell, Marjorie Pettay, Barbara West, Leta Mae Buchanan, Fred Hosley, Mark Hance, Frederick Chaney, and Richard Miller were elected to the National Honor Society. Several of our athletes won their T's in varsity sports. In the field of entertainment we spon- sored the highly successful Junior Revue , helped with the Van Cleve Vanities, and presented an impressive Senior Farewell Chapel. Then, as seniors, we entered the most outstanding year of our T. H. S. career, presiding over most of the clubs and projects carried out by the school. Our officers were Hayden Young, Frederick Chaney, Leta Mae Buchanan, and Mark Hance. Seniors elected to the National Honor Society were Mary Carolyn Barnett, Doris Davis, Doris Hampton, Kathryn Myers, and Robert Vandeveer. Outstanding social events of the year were the Senior Dinner, April 30, the Junior-Senior Prom, May 24-, and the class rplay, 4'The Green Vine,', May 17. Scholastically an outstanding class, we have consistently placed winners in the Annual Ohio Scholarship Tests held at Miami University. Thirteen seniors also participated in the Senior Scholarship Test. After Baccalaureate on May 26, Commencement Exercises were held May 29 with William E. Wickenden, President of Case School of Applied Science as the guest speaker. Frank C. Montross, President of the Board of Education presented diplomas to 119 seniors. For these graduates truly LIFE BEGINS IN '4.0
