Troy High School - Trojan Yearbook (Troy, KS)

Text from Pages 1 - 56 of the 1955 volume:

I y message to you is expressed very well following poem by an unknown author: It's doing your job the best you can. And being just to your fellow man, It's figuring how, and learning why. And looking forward and thinking high, And dreaming little, and doing much; It's keeping always in closest touch With what is finest in word and deed; It's being clean and playing fair. It’s laughing lightly at Dame Despair, It's sharing sorrow and work and mirth, And making better this good old earth, It's serving and striving through strain and stress It's doing your noblest—that's success. Sincerely yours, Roy Mitchell Compliment L,r.. 'DecUoattoK We, the 1954-55 annual staff, wish to dedicate this annual to you, Hamilton Kent, as a token of our appreciation for your ser- vices as our custodian.
