An active board can contribute much to the success of a school system, with the cooperation of the superintendent, faculty, and community. The School Board of the Unified School District 429 is headed by Presi- dent Norman Davies, assisted by Raymond Gaul, who holds the position of Vice- president. The proceedings of their meetings which are held on the first Wed- nesday of each month are recorded by Nell Larzelere, who serves as Secretary of the Board. 4 Mrs. Larzelere, Sec.

The cooks, Mrs. Eva Saltz- man and Mrs. Anna Wasson, prepare each day a meal that is both tasty and nutritious. Student help for the cooks include, from right, Judy DeVault, Mer- lina Watkins, and Nancy Juhl. As the bell rings, food is in immedi- ate demand. The cooks and student help- ers are pictured above as they serve two of the students (Pat Harris and Donna Rush) who form an impatient line each noon. Cooks and student help work fast and furiously to fill the waiting trays of a hundred students. Our cooks do an ex- cellent job of having the food ready and waiting promptly at noon. Our camera caught our custodian, Mr. Hadley Weinberg at work as he pushes a broom. Mr. Weinberg, as you can see in the picture above, often works late and it is usually very late in the eve- ning when he finishes cleaning the school house. We students appreciate a clean school and again, many thanks. Pictured below from left to right are David Moore, Dick Larzelere, Alfred Monroe, Bud Dawe, Lyle Yingling, and Hadley Weinberg the bus drivers for the current year at THS. These men, although engaged in other jobs, arrive faithfully very early each morning and have the buses rolling at seven. After delivering the students home each evening, they return to THS around five. Many thanks to these conscientious men for a job well done. 10 Duane Ytngling Anita Ross President Vice-President Mary Carol Grable Mr. Folsche Donna Turpin Secretary-Treasurer Sponsor Reporter Jeannine Luedke Richard Burkhart Phillip Albers Lester Winder 1967 Honor Society fa es Jetton There are signs of changes being made in the National Honor Society with eight new initiates as members. The members sponsored a dance and sold cupcakes and cookies during the noon hour to the students to raise money for the projects and activities that they had planned for the coming year. Mr. Folsche again sponsored the organiza- tion which represents and promotes charac- ter, service, leadership and scholarship to those who are members, and to those who seek to be a future member of this organi- zation.

Hopes are high this year as track season begins. The squad is almost twice the size of last year's. There are only three returning lettermen, however, placing the success of the team on the shoulders of younger and newer members. With the addition of more members to the squad, more and varied events can be entered. As a result, each member can spend his time preparing for an event for which he feels qualified rather than having to prepare for several, for most of which he is not qualified. In the past, there have been such small squads that it was necessary to put members in sev- eral events in order to produce a full team, thus ac- tually reducing the effectiveness of the individuals in their own events. All indications, at this time, point to a successful season. 38 7fc oinecominc THS Homecoming was October 21, 1966. The evening was chilly, but the atmosphere was charged with excitement.

The game, played three weeks previously, had ended in a scoreless tie. The girls struggled through freezing weather, but the score at the end of the game remained tied 0-0. The players practiced long tireless hours both after school and on Sunday afternoons. This game was also Kayette Homecom- ing. Jerry Yingling was proclaimed King at the half-time.

Around ten o'clock in the morning the senator arrived via helicopter and greated the student body who went out to meet him on the football field. Senator Pearson spoke informally to the gather- ing of students and public officials and added some worthwhile advice regarding our future plans. After leaving the football field, Senator Pearson went to town to do a little politicing, ” as he put it. ( )a ace C n iyfitens A principal figure in the Seven Steps organ- ization is former convict, Joe Wallace. The Seven Steps program deals with the convicts' way of life after prison. The program has kept many convicts from returning to prison. THS students were surprised and shocked at the picture Mr. Wallace painted of prison life. He related not only his actual prison experiences, but also the incidents that led up to his being imprison- ed. These included stealing milk from people's doorsteps tfnd finally taking an empty safe and be- ing caught with it. Mr. Wallace's road back to the right side of life has been long and at times difficult. He is now devoting his life to helping others. As indicated by the picture, even junior high students attending the program found Wallace an admirable man. 43 OAree 9 r s jj e jQr yyyj rj. e Miss Gail Kostman, a senior chosen by the Vo. Ag. Ill IV class, was elected the 1966-67 FFA Sweetheart. Each Vo. Ag. class chose a candidate, and then the en- tire chapter voted to select the queen. Susan Duncan, a freshman selected by the Vo. Ag. I boys, is shown as she attempts to saddle a horse. The girls had two farm chores to do on the afternoon of the barn-warmer which was held November 12. Patricia Harris was quite capable of running an obsta- cle course of tin cans with the garden tractor, as seen in the picture at the right. The girls had to weave in and out of the cans without hitting them. Pat breathed a sigh of relief after successfully completing the task. Pat is a sophomore and was nominated by the Vo. Ag. II class as their candidate. Fortunately, there were no pigs within hearing distance as Gail proved her ability at the art of calling hogs. This was the third of the tasks the girls had to complete. After riding the garden tractor and saddling the horse, each girl was asked some questions concerning farm pro- cedures and then each was asked to perform some of these, such as calling pigs. All these tasks were performed on the football field in front of the student body and faculty. Gail was crowned at the beginning of the traditional barnwarmer in the evening and reigned over the dance which was held in the school gymnasium. 44 Here, piggy piggy!

Davis cSponsors Quest (Speakers Adding to the THS Christmas spirit this year were five area ministers who spoke to students and faculty during the pre-Christmas week. The programs were sponsored again this year by the Key Club as they have been in past years. Each minister warned of too much concen- tration on the Commercial side of Christmas and not enough on the spiritual” side. They related traditions and customs of other countries and several approved of our Christmas tree and Santa Claus as part of the traditions surrounding the season. However, again, though, they in- dicated the importance of remembering the true” reason for our celebration of Christmas. 46 t)ear ij 7 t sttors ''Return 7o Cn tcj iten Specia Services L .

At your age. Keats, my darling husband!” THE PLOT Professor, how could you! was the cry of one of the young women who felt she had been tricked in this story about a young college professor who needed, but not necessarily wanted, a wife. Keats Perry, the pro- fessor, was offered a deanship in his college and the only catch to the offer was that he had to be married-- and he wasn't. Since he knew nothing about modem girls (he was more familiar with the historical figures like Cleopatra), he persuaded his best friend, John Appleby, to help him find a suitable wife. Keats lived with his grandparents who were both concerned about his lack of knowledge about modern girls. Also part of the household was Boggins, the sporting but very proper butler. Adding to the situation was one of Keats' students. Vicky Randolph, who simply couldn't get along with him. She didn't agree with his theory about women. Vicky discovers that John is trying to find a wife for Keats, so she makes him let her help. Boggins and Grandpa Perry also become involved in the search. Each soon picks his candidate and all are invited to a dinner party given by Grandma Perry. The evening's events include many mix-ups and misunderstandings caused mainly by Grandpa who wants his candidate (who is unknown to the others) to win. Keats finally realizes that he loves Vicky and Vicky loves him. The other three girls find happiness with other men and Grandpa and Grandma Perry breathe a sigh of re- lief. 48 Hei ) our 7lye ” fieme of 1967 (Conference January 17 was a special day for the THS Kay- ettes. On that day, they acted as hostess to ten schools at the district Kay-Kayette conference. The conference is held at a different school each year. Using the theme Act Your Age” they planned the activities for the day. Our president, Donna Turpin gave the welcoming speech and the High- land president gave the response. A mixed en- semble from our music department sang three se- lections and Nancy Juhl sang The Lord's Prayer. ” Miss Wanda Mae Vinson, the guest speaker, is the director of the Kansas Association for Youth. Her speech entitled Act Your Age brought out the purpose of the Kayette organization, which is to better ourselves so as to serve our school and community in a more efficient manner. She showed us how many times being a squealer and reporting vandalism and stealing, even on your best friends, is your duty as a citizen. In this way you may be keeping one more person from heading for a life of crime and wrong do- ings. Are you a leader or a follower? Do you have the initiative to stand up for what you think is right, even if it means not going along with the crowd? These were some of the main points Miss Vinson made as;he continued her speech and pointed out that the teenagers of today are the leaders of tomorrow” and they will shape the fu- ture lives of many people. After this general as- sembly, the youths were divided into smaller groups where they discussed their local clubs. Refreshments of punch and cookies were served before our guests departed. 49 Duane Yingling Linda Pitts Bill Penny Richard Burkhart Gail Kostman Carol Rogerson David Ptomey Corona ion Jfig iliy i s Las 1 fome Jame Dwayne Starts Julie Ellison Valentine's Day brought another exciting event in the life of THS.

Lawrence at Midway, Feb- ruary 16. The rocking-horse winner is the youngest child of a once-wealthy English family named Chesmond. Paul Chesmond is a very sensitive young boy and is quite concerned about his family's lack of money. He is continually made more aware of this fact by his mother. Hester, who takes every opportunity to remind her children. Paul. Kathy, and Joan, and her husband, Geoff, how unlucky she is. Hester, through her complaints, has made obtaining more money an obsession with Paul. He takes it upon him- self to get more. The gardner, Bassett, makes it possible for Paul to obtain money. Bassett is a fan of horse racing and has interested Paul in it. Somehow Paul has dis- covered that if he can ride his rocking horse (an old childhood toy) long enough and hard enough, he can find out the winner of the major horse races. Some- times he loses, but most of the time he wins. At one point he wins a rather large sum and since he can't give the money to his mother himself, he pre- vails upon his Uncle Oscar (who is visiting) to give her the money, using the story of an inheritance as the reason. Are you alright? Paul, talk to me! May the Lord have mercy on his soul. PLAY CAST Jforse 7.)inner Hester is, of course, thrilled about the money, but is not satisfied with what she receives. She al- ways wants more and is unconcerned about how to pay it back. Her husband has received several extensions on a bank loan and each time, he thinks it the last. Whenever he receives a new extension, Hester im- mediately goes on another shopping spree forgetting the pile of bills she has already accumulated. When Paul discovers that the money he has won has only made matters worse he decides that he will have to win one of the big money races. As before, he rides his rocking horse and rides and rides. Being a frail boy, the strain of the burden, lack of rest, and continual riding completely ruin his already poor phy- sical condition. Annie, the cook, tries to warn the family about the seriousness of Paul's condition but they fail to realize it until it is too late. When Paul finally does win one of the big races, he doesn't live to enjoy it. He wins enough money so his mother will have plenty to spend, but in the process, he de- stroys himself. Mary Carol Grable and Bill Penny won first place awards for best supporting roles.

The Baker University Choir, which consists of approximately 38 Baker students under the direc- tion of Dr. William C. Rice, had a very active year of singing festivities and tours. In addition to short trips around this part of the state, (Troy in April) the choir prepared and presented the an- nual Christmas Candlelight Vespers at the Bald- win First Methodist Church. In the spring, the choir presented a special Easter cantata on Palm Sunday. The choir is generally featured in one or more convocation programs each year as well. They close out the year with Baccalaureate ex- ercises. In addition to many talented soloists, the choir contains several very talented groups--trios and a quartet. Over half of the members are pianists and several have studied the organ. Music stu- dents accompany the choir. Lester Groom, pro- fessor of music and fine arts is organist. In pro- grams for various area churches, schools, and civic groups, the choir serves as good-will am- bassadors for Baker University. Dr. William C. Rice, director, is pictured at left with Mrs. Sharon Groh and two students, Mary Carol Grable and Carol Rogerson, after he conducted a vocal clinic here in November. 54 FIRST ROW: J. Luedke, S.

For the first time there was a beginners’ band course offered, where students learned to play new instruments or refreshed on ones they had learned previously. Both band classes are pictured above under the direction of Mrs. Groh. Another added class was the beginners' cho- rus class which was offered to students who could not take chorus during the regular period that it was offered. This was for girls only. It was held during homeroom on Tuesday of each week. The band class was also held during homeroom four days a week. FIRST ROW; L. Ern- zen, D. Clary, C. Kline, B. Ross, C. Grable. SECOND ROW; C.

This appreciation and expres- sion of oneself through choral music is our goal through the year. Mixed chorus is another branch of the boys and girls choruses, and is made up of the better voices of each of these choruses. It has proved to be a satisfying and reward- ing experience for all who have participated in such a group as this.

The uniforms have been changed from the skirts and weskits to royal blue skirts and V-neck pull- over sweaters. The Pep Club's main functions are to support the team and create school spirit in the team yCetv Sponsor and in the student body. They also sponsor the Homecoming dance and have charge of the half- time ceremonies during the Homecoming game.

They find this very helpful, as they gain new and better ideas for keeping the community spirit in tip-top shape. This year, they also attended a state-wide clinic in Manhattan, Kansas, where they participated in half-time activities of the K-State vs. Oklahoma football game. The picture at the right shows them preparing for the ceremonies. Leaders of the Pep Club have an important duty. The cheerleaders must keep up the spirit of the student body and the community through- out the athletic seasons. This may be difficult to do after a below-average season, but this is the goal for which they strive. The officers lead the different committees of the organization and see that the rules and by- laws of the constitution are carried out. Various projects are ’’ramrodded by the officers, but generally, the entire club is included in the plan- ning. 59 FIRST ROW: D. Clary, S. Hurtig, N. Blake, P. Foley, A. Smith, T. Reder, L, Pitts, M.

Many times it is nec- essary to work after school and during the eve- nings to finish pages in time for printing. The activity period of the first and third Wednesdays of each month is set aside for the staff meetings, but many other unorganized meetings are held among the members them- selves as they discuss their articles and exchange ideas. In the regular meetings, stories are as- signed and other problems worked out. Each staff member is assigned to a faculty member or other key figure in school and he checks with his as- signee regularly so that the Trumpet can inform the readers about school happenings. Two dead- lines are met each month and although sometimes a last-day emergency rush is necessary, the Trum- pet is always ready to distribute to students, fac- ulty, and other members of THS on time. A lot of work goes into the paper before it is finished. Writing stories, typing them into twenty-six space columns, and proofreading are just a few of the many tasks that must be completed before a page can be run off on the mimeograph machine. All in all. it's an unending job, but a job that gives the members of the staff satisfaction when they see their work come out in print each month. FIRST ROW: J. Stwert. P. Williams, J. Luedke, D.

However, taking pic- tures and writing copy are not the only jobs the annual staff have to complete. The edi- tor must work out the number of pages to be completed and what is to be on each page. Then, decisions must be made concerning what pictures are to be taken and of whom or what. Staff members must be alert to sit- uations that hold picture-taking possibilities, for not all pictures can be scheduled. The annual is prepared and sent to the publisher in three parts. The first deadline is in December, the second in January, and the third in March. Each page must be drawn on a triplicate form just as it is to be seen in the completed annual. Pictures must be cropped (unnecessary portions marked out) and the size of the pictures must be designated on the triplicates. Head- lines and copy must be written and typed on each page. After all this is completed, the entire group of triplicates must be proofread and indexed. Many hours for many months are spent in the preparation of the annual. When a fin- ished copy is in a student's hands, sometimes he fails to realize all the work that has gone into those pages. However, those members of the staff who spent their free time at school, their evenings, and their weekends, will not soon forget and can feel a sense of accomplishment because they accepted and carried out a great responsibility—that be- ing to record the events of the year in pic- ture and copy. 66 rJ.rou C iapter 'Promotes )Cationa P. r7l. 7. )eeA On Friday, February 24, four Future Farmers from the Troy Chapter, accompanied by their ad- visor, Mr. Soeken, journeyed to the KFEQ broad- casting studio in St, Joseph, Missouri, to appear on television. The occasion was to promote Na- tional FFA week, which was Feb. 18-25. The boys spoke on the Agri- Business Program as re- lated to FFA, The purpose of this program was to further the knowledge of the public on the pur- pose of the Future Farmers of America so they would have a better understanding of the organi- zation. The FFA is a national organization of boys who are interested in agriculture. Through this organization, they hope to improve their knowl- edge of farming so as to be more successful in their future careers of agricultural work.

From the time we enter Troy’s halls as freshmen until the time we leave as seniors after that long- awaited graduation day, we become more and more attached to friends and to a special way of life. There are memories still fresh in our minds of many happy times we have spent with old and new friends alike, and they are mem- ories we hope to remember always. The 1967 annual staff has composed this book which we hope will be a source of pride, joy, and reminiscence for you as you leave T.H.S. forever or until another year. May it grow more and more precious to you as the years go by to become shadows of the past and as you and your classmates go your separate ways. My deepest and most sincere thanks go to our sponsor, Miss Russell, my assisting editors, the dedicated members of the staff, and our cooperative faculty and student body for all they have contributed to the preparation of this annual. May the years ahead be prosperous and full of the best possible things in life for you and all future T.H.S. students and may this book help you to recall fond memories now and in the years ahead.
