When the usual call for volunteers was sent forth from T.H.S. headquarters the latter part of August, 1952, 32 ambitious young people responded cheerfully and enlisted in the first division of the great Trojan Army, which is one of the many that fights the ever-continued battle of Knowledge vs. Ignorance. Those responding to the call were: Jack Ainlay, Susie Ashworth, Bernard Clary, Wilber Copenhafer, Louise Davies, Awanda Dixon, Mary Eastabrooks, Dennis Ford, Bud Fuller, Kay Glasscock, Carrie Lee Howland, Nellie King, John Lehman, Cecelia Lichliter, Benny Mayer, Jerry McKernan, Wilbur Miller, Leo Neumann, Viola Newton, Jean Ruhnke, Edna Mae Schoenfelder, Wallace Schoenfelder, Melvin Sharp, Phyllis Sharp, Wanda Smith, Yvonne Snoddy, John Speaks, Darlene Studer, Roger Sutton, Betty Thornton, Shirley Whetstine, and Wayne Wykert. The first week of September found them reporting for active service together with the three other higher divisions of this army at the Trojan Camp. Although somewhat unaccustomed to the advanced methods of fighting, they entered into the long training with much enthusiasm. The next higher division of this Trojan Army, called Sophomores, proceeded in giving these enlisted newcomers (Freshmen) the first step of their basic training which they called initiation. During the first year spent in training camp three young soldiers, John Speaks, Dennis Ford, and Jerry McKernan, succeeded with the aid of their athletic commander, E. W. Kimble, in receiving recognition for their athletic abilities. At this time the commanding officer of the entire Trojan Camp was C. W. Trogdon. At the end of nine months, the new regiment received their promotion to the second division. When the summons to meet in camp was again issued the following fall 31 young soldiers reported for duty promptly and enrolled in the second division. In addition to the regulars, there were three transfers, Catherine Smith, Mike Collins, and Rome Mitchell, who were transferred to the Trojan Army. In reviewing the commanding staff, it was discovered that the top official was a new man, Roy Mitchell. Once again the athletic section was on parade before the reviewing stand. Among those in the honor positions were five athletes, Benny Mayer, Rome Mitchell, Mike Collins, Jack Ainlay, and Wilber Copenhafer, all of whom were from the second division. Then later on the Trojan Band received a top rating at the district music festival at Lawrence. The Army was granted a three months furlough during the summer. The inside of the barrack was redecorated to make life more pleasant for the soldiers. In addition to this, a new dressing room was added to give needed space to the athletic department. By 1954 the third division now numbered 32 and with the addition of another transfer, Carl Tharman, the total was 33. A new member to the commanding staff was Robert Osgood. The third regiment's play entitled, The Inner Willy , was presented by 12 members of the regiment. On April 26 they gave a dance, which was held in the neighboring t ost of St. Joseph, for the senior regijnent. Only two new members were added to the regiment's list of honored athletes and they were John Lehman and Wallace Schoenfelder. The year of 1955 found thirty-two loyal Trojans in the fourth division. This last year of training brought back many pleasant memories and some new ones, too. Once again there was a new addition to the commanding staff, this was Coach Donald Clark. During the year five members of the fourth division received the high honor of being elected to the National Honor Society. They were: Cecelia Lichliter, Benny Mayer, Wilber Copenhafer, Jack Ainlay, and Rome Mitchell. The only new member of the division to receive an athletic award was Carl Tharman. Thirteen members of this fourth group gave the play, Books and Crooks , under the supervision of Ellen Warren. For the second time in their four years the Trojan Band received a top rating at the district music festival with Anthony Kimmi as their director. On April 25 the entire fourth division was granted a 24-hour pass for the purpose of taking a tour of Kansas City. Then on May 5 the Junior-Senior Prom was held at the St. Francis Hotel in St. Joseph. The final week of preparation began on May 13 with baccalaureate exercises; then on May 15, class night was held, at which time the fourth division presented the Trojan Army with a 35 millimeter camera. Also at this time many Trojans were given decorations of various types. Finally the time came for the members of this fourth division to leave the Trojan Army. On May 17 all 32 members received their honorable discharges. This band of soldiers had many good times together, being true friends to one another and loyal defenders of the Trojan Army. 14
