Troy High School - Trojan Yearbook (Troy, KS)

Text from Pages 1 - 74 of the 1966 volume:

Dedication MR. DALE WHITESIDE After six years of staring at pictures of all shapes and descriptions, wracking the brain for new ideas for placing those same pictures on pages, and trying to re- vive past literary talents to help the copy editors. Mr. Whiteside deserves a rest. Since he is passing on the camera, the pen, the typewriter, and the deadlines, we have placed him on a page of his own in order to say thank you” for his effort in our behalf during the last six years, and to say, Mr. Whiteside, we the Trojan staff, do hereby dedicate our 1965-1966 Trojan to you.” 1966 trojan T resenieJ (fie 3Q'nnuaf c5faff of !96J-,66 7roy JZuraf TfigA ScAoof 7roy, TCansas I ?oreworc As another episode in our lives here at Troy High draws to a close, we remi- nisce with fond memories, the times we have spent with our friends, teachers, and classmates. All of these together have made a memorable year for all of us. We on the '66 Trojan Staff have tried to compile these memories into a year- book that will be cherished by you in the years to come, even after our never-to-be- forgotten years at THS are completed. I would like to sincerely thank my capable staff, the sponsors, Miss Russell and Mr. Whiteside, and the student body, for all that they have contributed, so that this yearbook might be one of the best that has ever been printed.

Kansas 6(087 Robert Reeder Raymond Gaul Hylen Rush UNIFIED BOARD Virgil Weber Jack Masters Robert Reeder Raymond Gaul Norman Davies Nell Rene Larzelere The year of 1966-'67 will bring many educational changes to Troy High School. Unification will go into effect July 1, 1966, and Troy High will be- come part of Troy Unified District 429. The new district will encompass around 100 square miles of territory with an enrollment of 600 students, kin- dergarten through 12. The district will be entrusted to a new 6-member Board of Education. This new board has been in operation since July 1, 1965, making plans for the 1966-'67 year. Troy High School, as it is now called, will become Troy High School, Unified District 429, July 1, 1966. To most people the senior year is the happiest, yet the saddest year of their formal education period. We hope that the years at Troy High will not be the end of a learning experi- ence. but an intermediate step to big- ger and better things. It is my wish that each of you would continue your education, not MRS. LARZELERE. secretary necessarily college, but trade or vo- cational school. It is a well-known fact that the better you prepare your- self. the more successful you will be. I wish each of you the best of success in whatever you do.

Punctuality is their goal. The student body never realizes how much time and effort is spent preparing a wholesome, balanced meal for them every day. but our meals are always ready for us at 12:14, without fail. The bus drivers and custodi- ans must keep the buses in good running order, keep them clean, and be there to pick up students each morning and deposit them at home each afternoon. May we. the student body, take this opportunity to say thank-you” for all that they do for us, that we take so much for granted. Our cooks, Mrs. Mildred Wasson and Mrs. Eva Saltzman, are as- sisted by Mary R. Clark, Merlina Watkins, and Don- na Turpin.

After the game with Wathena, amid Autumn Leaves , Janette Kanning reigned as Queen of the Homecoming court. To the music of the Squires, visiting Wildcats and Trojans danced until midnight. yua C.' looses Ttoyaf Gscor s TOM KELLKK ROGER WHETS TIN E DICK BURBRIDGE The escorts for the queen and her attendants are chosen by the football squad from the senior members of the team. Leading off the first dance of Home- coming was the THS Royalty and their escorts. After the suspensful moments of crowning, the queen and her attend- ants relaxed and enjoyed the fun and gaiety of the evening. Stimulating school spirit and arousing the en- thusiasm of the crowd, the cheerleaders are yelling their favorite chant to encourage the players onward to a victory against the Wathena Wildcats. The Trojan Kayettes met the Highland Kayettes for their Homecoming Game. The team was coached by Mr. Williams with “Lightning Pitts and Freddie Myers as captain and co-captain respectively. The final score was in Troy's favor, 6-0. During the half the Homecoming King, Duane Yingling, was crowned. He was escorted by Marcia Carlson. His attendants were, Mike Frenken, Bill Penny, Dennis Ruhnke, and Jerald Holcomb. You’re looking good, man! Go Get 'em gals! Careful now! 28 Inita 7?oss Drowned (2ueen of Dour is, 66 The highlight of the evening was the crowning of Queen Anita, escorted by Richard Burbridge. Princess Linda was escorted by Mel- vin Owens, and Princess Lois was escorted by Jerald Holcomb. Sponsored by the Pep Club, the Royal Dance was held in the school auditorium, with Queen Anita lead- ing the first dance. The music was provided by a juke box. The expression shown on Vicki Davies' face, below, illustrates the feeling of the crowd during the half-time coronation.

While their daughter was away undergoing a major operation, John and Martha Harvey welcomed a visit by John's nephew, Chris, and his wife. One evening John, portrayed by Owen Gaul, told Chris, played by Duane Yingling, about an old legend. The legend concerned an old man and his vigilant search for the way to Boston. The people of that area said that many years before the old man had lived in their community with his grandchild, a little girl. The old man was said to have kept to himself and had been unfriendly to those who approached him. One particular night, however, the little girl became very ill and the old man want- ed to get her to the hospital in Boston. When he stopped his buggy at people's homes, they refused to tell him the way or misdirected him. The people were not aware of the sick child in the buggy. No one really knew what happened to them after that night. Since that time, though, the legend had been kept alive by reports from people that the old man still contin- ued his search. He would stop at people's doors and ask the way to Boston. And, it was said, that death followed in the home at which he stopped. Chris and his wife, Mary, played by Anita Ross, didn't believe the superstition until an old man, driving a buggy stopped at the Harvey home one night. After his visit, their first thoughts were of Ann, who, however, was in the hospital. Ann was to recover, but another Harvey died—Martha, portrayed by Ann Freeman--and, thus, added credance to what was said to have been a groundless superstition. The play was directed by Miss Nellie Russell. 30 Martha!! she's. . -she's. .Martha!

Queen Anita Ross David Prawl Mary E. Murphy Owen Gaul Beverly Ross Bill Huss On the evening of November 13, 1965 the F.F.A. queen, Miss Mary Ellen Murphy, was crowned. Her escort for the evening was Owen Gaul, the F.F.A. president. Miss Murphy's attendants were Miss Anita Ross, escorted by David Prawl, and Miss Beverly Ross, escorted by Bill Huss. The evening continued after the coronation with popular and square dancing. Refreshments of apple cider and doughnuts were served later. 32 St. St. yi. initiates Seven The F.F.A. Greenhand initiation brought in seven new members for the Troy chapter of the Future Farmers of America. The initiation included a lot of fun , but maybe not for those coming into the organization. Never- theless, they all took it in a good sense of humor, as it was fully intended for them to do. Some of their tasks includ- ed eating raw eggs, drive a nail into an oak board, and fish for tools in the grease pit. 33 The Westbrooks are exceptional vo- calists who take time from their busy schedule to share their talent with high school students. They presented a prog- ram that was not only entertaining and educational, but aesthetically pleasing as well. They both are highly skilled in their art and are very versatile performers. Ptrrhaps through them, Troy High School may have gained a better understanding and appreciation of the art of song. Mr. and Mrs. Paul Westbrook ( ufiure cS eps 7n Marce Reyes A native of the Philippines spoke to the Social Science classes on the cus- toms and tradition of his islands. The one-time Olympic winner em- phasized both the present and past cus- toms of his people. He also discussed the educational system and politics of the Philippine Islands, including in his talk, the recent presidential election. Mr. Reyes closed by speaking of the fu- ture and heritage of his country. 34 c nyers Cjnieriam rS7ucfen T ocfy The Park Singers made their second ap- pearance at Troy High School in two years, March 19, 1966. They are a lively and con- genial entertaining group who serve as pub- lic relations representatives from Park Col- lege, Parkville, Missouri. Both years they have been a big hit with the student body. The Singers sing everything from Bach to Brubeck. Their director, Allen Larson, also directs the college choir and teaches the theory of music. He was the guest conductor at the K-36 League Vocal Clinic, November 16, 1965, here at Troy High School. During the school year, the Singers make appearances at churches, schools, and civic organizations, in the surrounding area. Af- ter the completion of the spring semester, the Singers make a week long tour making as many as twenty appearances during that one, short week. 35 Hurry io ifie fiooA fair! Students show their enthusiasm for read- ing when they gather at the Book Fair, spon- sored by the Troy High Language Club, and buy 535 paperbacked books. Martha Zimmerman was the chairman of the Book Fair committee. Books were sold for three days, February 16, 17, 18, and at two evening affairs, in conjunction with the Doniphan County Teachers Associ- ation on February 17, and on February 18, when the K-36 one-act play, directed by Miss Russell, was given, and Mrs. Groh and her mixed chorus presented several numbers. This was the second year for the Book Fair, and with such wonderful enthusiasm, it will probably become an annual event here at Troy. 36 oa sin 27 fi 7.)ear Celebrating its 27th anniver- sary at THS this year is the Na- tional Honor Society, sponsored by Mr. Folsche.

The staff got off to a good start by attending a journalism clinic at Kansas Univer- sity in the fall of 1965. Mrs. Warren is the sponsor of the group, which which puts out the paper that the entire student body receives, free of charge. The Trumpet features stories of dances and games, the news from the clubs, organizations, and classes, and also an editorial page. The paper staff tries to present a true picture of the events of THS for the students, faculty, and parents. Copies are given to each student. All the work done on the paper is extracurricu- lar. Students who participate, find working on the paper staff is helpful in their English, as it improves their spelling and their composition. Paper staff includes: Nancy Blake, Martha Zimmerman, editor; Janette Kanning, Mrs. Warren, sponsor; LaMonte Schoenfelder, Mary Freel, Ellen Reeder, Virginia Foley, Richard Burkhart, Larry Harness, Cheryl My- ers, Annie Freeman, Mary Reeder, Ina Lou Shupe, and Nancy Juhl.

The starting line-up, shown at the left, was slightly im- proved from last year's team. This shows a typical half-time scene, with the coach giving the roundballers some last minute instructions. The '66 A-team won only three games this year, but the crowd's enthusiasm at all of the games was enough to rouse their spirits for many very close and exciting ones. 52 7? r Jeam SAows 'Proare ss BACK ROW: R.
