May T H Ei T R O J A N. 1922 The Troy Rural High School, tries to meet the needs of the young people of this community. Its courses are formed and its policies are shaped to benefit all those who see fit to enroll. It is organized now on a new basis and with its larger taxing area it will be able to furnish the very best there is in modern school equipment and instruc:ion. It now offers courses in Manual Training, Domestic Science, Domestic Art, and has a Normal Training department for those who wish to prepare to teach. Athletics are encouraged in every way. An experienced and competent coach of athletics directs the training of the boys along these lines and every inducement offered to influence stu- dents to live clean lives, train properly, and play the game on the square. The school is a member of the Doniphan county high school association and joins freely in all of its activities. Considerable attention is given to music there being re- gular organizations of glee clubs, choruses quartettes, orchestra and general singing by the student body. All this makes Troy Rural High School an excellent place for young people. The social life is largely under the supervision of the faculty. Each class has a faculty sponsor who advises them in all matters pertaining to their social life and acts as chaperon when one is needed. This year the school was a member of the Kansas debate league and much interest is taken in oration and declamation. Some opportunity is afforded for those who are interested in dramatics. It is hoped that all the young people in the high school district, and any others for Whom it will be convenient will plan to enroll in T. R. H. S. next year. Page!! Q

May THE TROJAN 1922 fi vvvmAA ,ISTORY OF ROY IGH CHOGL l ! The Troy School was one of the, earliest schools founded in this part of Kansas. Froni a small beginning in the early history of Kansas as a state, the school has had a steady and constant growth. Believing in education with all their hearts the people have fsupported the school to the very limit of their ability, realizing full well that what ever they spent on education would be returned to them a hundredfold in the better citizenship of the future. . As early as 1866, 34,000 in bonds was voted to erect the first substantial brick building. This served the community well until 1902 when 340,000 was voted and a handsome and up-to-date building replaced the old one. This new building was found to bef inadequate to the school and in 1914 a-315,000 addition was built. The first high school was organized when Prof. U. S. Busch was superintendent of schools. The first class to be graduated was the class of '94 and consisted of the fol- lowing three members: Miss Mabel Ellis, Miss D. Swiggett, and Miss Bertie Castle. Since that time the number of graduates in each succeeding-class has steadily increas- ed until the class of the present year numbers twenty-eight. The total number of graduates including the present class is 322. If you will turn to the Alumni section in this annual you will find the name of each graduate, the class in which he graduated, his present occupation, and, his address, if such be known. K Page 3
