POUCV-MAJ4N BODY JIDBC USD 429 The USD School Board is the main policy- making body of the school system. The School Board provides leadership for and direction to the schools. After the members set up the main policies, they leave most of the running of the school to the administration. With the cooperation of the superintendent, faculty, and community, the Board can be active. The USD Board is headed by Mr. Norman Davies, President, and he is assisted by Mr. Ray- mond Gaul, Vice-President. They hold their meetings on the first Wednesday of each month. Mrs. Nell larzelere, Secre- tary, records the business of each month’s meeting. At the monthly meetings, special problems of the school are discussed and if the school needs something, it is brought up by the administration and discussed and approved by the Board. N.

Considering that the busses are crowded, that very few bus routes are paved, and the job of driving a bus is not the easiest, we do commend our drivers. D. BURBRIDGE COOICQ PR£PAR£ AND SDRVk L.

The show started off the evening and a number of students took part in the take off on the Ed Sullivan show. A number of acts were performed and interspersed throughout the acts were commercials. Ricky Drake was the Master of Ceremonies. Donald Clary and his famous dog (Reggie) act were there, as were the Smother's Sisters (Mother liked the boys best). Donna Rush and Lois Kirby portrayed this pair. Musical acts included Mrs. Miller's Sisters (Renee Hoffman, Sue Taylor, and Roselyn Drake) and The Hillbilly Band (Tom Bruns, Gary Masters, Kenny Reder, Cathy Grable and Barbara Thomas). Also on hand were Rick and his Mob (Rick Gronniger, Edna Lewis, Jim Wykert, and Doug Johnson). They left when the yell of Cops sounded throughout the auditorium. Various companies advertising during the evening were Tootsie Rolls (Peggy Koehler, Connie Kline, Tom Bruns, and Roger Masters), Right Guard (Bev Engemann and David Penny), and Scope (Mr. Foster and Edna Lewis). A brief version of T. V. show, Divorce Court , was portrayed (Renee Hoffman, Ted Smith, Doug Johnson, Roger Masters, Rodclyn Drake, and Marcia Whetstine). After the show, the booths opened. Most of the organizations and classes sponsored at least one booth each. The booths represented money-making projects for the organizations. There was a fortune teller, a jail, a dart throw, a kissing booth, a fish pond, a spook house, a road race, a cake walk, a sweet shop, and a snack bar. Following the carnival, the seniors spon- sored a dance for junior high and high school students. A juke box provided the music. Donald Clary and Reggie 33 FRONT ROW from left: R. Drake, M.

As the season progressed, however, the Trojans made a strong comeback by defeating the Highland Bluestreaks and the Mid- way Eagles. It required time for the players to get adjusted and learn to work together as a team. Hopes are high for next year as the returning lettermen will be back to lead the team. Under the capable leadership of Coach Thomas and the assistant coach, Mr. Dannevik, the Trojan B-Team showed much progress this season. The spirit of the Tro- jan players and the enthusiasm of the student body help make a winning team. Mr. Crosley coaches the A team. From left: R. Davies, P. Greaser, M. Gaither, A. Ruhnke, B.

They placed fifth in the District Tourna- ment by defeating Elwood. Mr. Danne- vik, a new addition to the THS faculty this year, was the Freshmen team's coach. The Trojan A-Team won only two games this year, but that didn't lower their spirit. The boys worked hard and showed team spirit, which is needed to make a winning team. Mr. Crosley coached the A-Team. BACK ROW from left: D. Pierce, J. Jackson, K. Luedke, R. Clary, D. Winder, B. McNemee. FRONT ROW from left: T. Speaks, D. Miner, T. Pierce, D. Culp.

SPRING BRINGS 7RAOOTO THS RETURNING lettermen Carl Neeland, Tom Bruns, Marvin Gaither Along with spring, comes the beginning of the 1968 track season at THS. This year approximately twenty boys went out for track. Three of the twenty are returning lettermen. They are Tom Bruns, Carl Neeland and Marvin Gaither. Since there are so many boys out, each boy can spend time working for an event for which he feels qualified, rather than working on events in which he isn't qualified. Track is the only sport at THS where each boy must work and practice on his own. In the other sports at our school, such as foot- ball and basketball, a team with team work is required.

The Trojans were defeated, 19-7, but nothing could dampen the spirit of the team or the crowd. The band and the Pep Club performed at halftime activi- ties. The band, under the direction of Mr. Knudsen, formed a C (for Corning), a ”T (for Trojans), a sun- flower, and with the help of the THS Pep Club, formed a crown in which Mary Ellen and her attendants were crowned and presented roses.

Minerva Osterman, played by Pat Harris, is a crippled, arthritic old woman who cannot maneu- ver without the aid of her wheelchair. She is also the owner of the house. Mrs. Osterman is aided by her daughter, Stephanie, played by Lynette Ernzen, and the housekeeper, Nora, who was played by Debbie Clary. On this particular stormy evening, Minerva is expecting guests, her nieces Mary, played by Bev Ross, and Belle Hamilton, played by Bev Engemann. They bring with them two unexpected guests: Keith Latimer, Mary's fiance, played by Tom Bruns, and Pete Martinelli, played by Gary Davies, who is Belle's fiance. After the welcomes and memories have been discussed. Dr. Adler appears. The doctor was played by Don Clary. The doctor was the new family physician. He lived in the house in case Minerva needed immediate care. The reason for the gathering of in-laws was that Mrs. Osterman wanted the pleasure of reading her own will to her relatives before she died. However, before the will was read she demonstrated the doctor's latest treatment. He hypnotized her and she tells everyone, while under, that three others besides herself will die that night from the venom of a spider. After recovering from the shock and after Minerva comes out from under the spell, everyone except Minerva retires to their rooms upstairs. As Minerva sits speaking to the picture of William, her late husband, an uninvited guest appears through the secret passageway. Minerva's lawyer, played by Roger Guier, is blackmailing her with a secret which she does not want revealed. After agreeing upon the sum of three thousand dollars. Stage Manager-------------Sandra Hoffman Student Director-----------Joyce Stewart Director-------------------Nellie Russell You are getting very sleepy ... one Wt the unwanted visitor exits through the passageway to his upstairs room. Later the same evening, Minerva is found dead with a puncture of the skin, like a spider bite. The doctor pronounces her dead and she is carried to one of the upstairs rooms. The next morning. Belle and Pete accidentally open the secret passageway and discover Stephanie and the lawyer dead. Stephanie had been strangled. Deadly discovery, Minerva is dead (?) That same evening, about 8:00 P. M., Mary encountered Minerva. Minerva explains to Mary that her phony death was part of a plan. She said that she wanted to hide and see how everyone really felt about her so she would know who deserved to be included in the will. Mary could also see quite plainly that she was not an invalid, because she could walk. As Mary called to Keith, Minerva disappeared. As Keith searched for her in the upstairs rooms, Minerva again appeared in the passageway door, this time with a knife in her back. Keith and Dr. Adler brought all the remaining people into the room. After hypnotyzing them. Dr. Adler asks each of them if they did the killing. No one admitted it. When they awaken, the doctor is gone and Darling, as they say in the soap operas, I am madly, desperately, hopelessly in love with one man. 60 Miss Russell makes up Bev, who is getting ready to swing. Roger is occupied, and everyone is pressed for time, and losing make-up. Swinging, Bev shows 'em how. Gary is quite pleased with the show, it seems. and Mary will not wake up. While everyone was under hypnosis. Dr. Adler was killed in his room by spiders, of course. Mary still can't wake up, so everyone, except Nora, goes to town to get a doctor. After they had gone, Mary woke up. Nora told her that the pre- cious William wasn't Minerva's husband, but her own husband, and Stephanie was her child, not Minerva's. The secret was that in a fit of rage after discovering her husband was in love with Minerva, Nora killed William. The secret had been hidden all those years, even from Stephanie. Nora also admits killing the others. Then she tried to kill Mary. She had the box of spiders in her hand and all Mary had to do was to put her hand in the box. The two began to struggle. At this point Keith, Pete, and Belle enter the room. They hadn't gone for the doctor. They merely drove off, parked the car, and returned to listen through the door. Nora finally gave Keith the box of spiders. Pete and Keith then took Nora upstairs. She was to be taken to a sanitarium. As they all went up- stairs, Belle got the will from beneath the cushion on the sofa and handed it to Mary. They know that Belle had not been included in the will, but Mary decided to split the inheritance in half between Belle and herself. This year’s cast gave two performances. The first was a matinee, given mainly to grade and high school students, and the second was a Saturday evening performance.

ECPO BV ROBERT KASPER, THE CAST Mary Ross Henry Ross - - David Ross — - Lillian Ross Student Director Director - 62 Don't be sad. Mother. THE PLOT The setting for this drama in one act is the home of the Ross family and the time is shortly before 8 p.m., the present. As the play begins, the audience sees a typical family seated in their living room. Very soon, however, the family indicates its difference. At 8 p. m., a year ago, the son in the family shot and killed himself. Mrs. Ross (Renee) is outwardly aware of the time and date and shows her distress at remem- bering. Lillian (Lois) tries to comfort her mother by telling her that David wouldn’t want her to be sad. Lillian then begins to reflect on David’s life just before his suicide and decides that since she and David were such good pals and told each other everything, if she had been at home instead of away at college, she would have been able to help him. The father (Wayne) You don't care about me! I wasn't harsh enough with David. has tried to control himself through all this, but his restraint runs out and he sarcastically asks Lillian why she is mulling over the past now and what she hopes to accomplish. He states what everyone believes is the reason for David’s death--his girlfriend married another boy. Lillian doesn’t agree with him, but doesn't press the issue. She leaves to visit a friend. Mrs. Ross cautions her husband to not be so harsh with Lillian, and this leads to an argument concerning his being too harsh with David whom Mrs. Ross claims to have been very sensitive. Henry defends his right to be stern and to control his son. He doesn't believe that he and his wife were harsh enough because their son didn't be- come the man he wanted him to be. The argu- ment soon becomes Henry's argument with him- self. All the talk about David stirred up things that Henry did not want to think about and his conscience begins to bother him. He reenacts his last scene with David in which he accuses the boy of gambling and stealing the mortgage money. The climax of the play comes when Henry dis- covers the mortgage money in a book—David hadn't stolen it. He admits his fault in his son's death. The play was presented on March 12 at Mid- way and again later that month at K. U. in Law- rence. My Fault! My Fault! My Fault!! 63 student teachers participate tn school ups D SMEi-J.

As everyone neared the flaming fire, the Bluestreak dummy was tossed. As the flames roared higher the excitement grew and grew. This excitement reached its peak when the Pep Club, lead by the cheer- leaders, snaked their way through the streets. Following the girls were the coaches and the team on a truck. The Pep Club and the cheer- leaders formed a circle around the truck and led several rousing cheers in anticipation of the coming game. Now that's a fire! Let's get this thing going! 67 SR£ENHAND INfTtAnON BRINGS 1S MEW MEMBERS As in years past, the F. F. A. Greenhand initiation brought new members into the 1968 Future Farmers of America.

Three cho- ruses, under the direction of Mr. Carl Knudsen, have emerged from the mixed group pictured above--Girls Chorus, Boys Chorus, and Special Chorus. Chorus members have the 5th hour each day for practice periods. A definite sche- dule is followed so that only one chorus practices on a given day. Members are dismissed from 4th Hour Classes approximately the last 20 minutes of the period and they eat lunch and then go to chorus. They sing until 1:00 and then return to their 6th Hour classes which are already in progress. At this time, the students have already participated in a K-36 Choral clinic held on November 21 at Troy High School. Through singing a student can gain an apprecia- tion of music and learn to express himself well. The choruses in music at THS have proven to be a satisfying and rewarding experience for all who have participated in them. The chorus provides a music program each Christmas, ac- companied by the school band. They also take part in spring contests at Emporia and Lawrence. 72 FIRST ROW: J. Stewart, S. Hegarty, G.

The Troy High Band has five twirlers this year--one to lead each line of bandsmen. The THS Band members have worked hard this year to make their band a good one. They began practicing before the school year started. The Band marched in Troy's Halloween Parade and they played The Pink Panther . Mrs. Knudsen (wife of band director) was dressed in a pink panther outfit and handed out balloons to the children along the parade route. The band was also invited to the Hiawatha Halloween Parade. Band members are required to march at football homecom- ing, and in the Apple Blossom Parade and must play at pep as- semblies and home games. Members meeting the requirements will receive a full credit for their efforts during the year. Band officers were elected this year. Each officer had a function to perform including the following: publicizing activi- ties of band, keeping instruments clean and in proper working order, and filing sheet music. FIRST ROW (L-R): M.

During a pep assembly they were given sweatshirts with Honorary Pep Club printed on the front and a megaphone and Troy on the back. A Red Carpet Day was an added feature during Homecoming. Only the football boys were allowed to walk on the red crepe paper carpet in the main hall. Other projects throughout the year in- cluded the selling of white pins with Happiness is a Trojan Victory imprinted in blue on them. Sell- ing chains with the basketball schedule on them was also another money-making project. 76 P G Y U IWS...........PRESIDENT BARBARA THOMAS... VICE-PRESIDENT alyce s unrH..........secretary PATIV POCEY...........treasurer Every organization needs and has its leaders, and the THS Pep Club is no exception. Throughout the year the officers of the Pep Club have had the responsiblity of seeing that their organization ac- complishes all its goals. These girls have promoted school spirit by seeing that game assemblies have been filled with enthusiasm. Another main contribution to the spirit of the school has been the wide variety of posters put in the halls on game days. All of these are prepared and hung by Pep Club members. Principal duties and goals of the Pep Club are promoting school spirit, organizing pep rallies, prac- ticing yells and songs, developing leadership qualities, building good sportsmanship, learning to cooper- ate with each other and other schools, arousing enthusiasm for THS, and setting good examples for the younger students. At the beginning of the school year the of- ficers and cheerleaders wrote a new constitution. This has also been a major factor in helping the club to be better organized. The one person who has helped the Pep Club become a more active and influential organiza- tion is its new sponsor this year, Mrs. Madeline Crosley. Through tlrick and thin Mrs. Crosley stood by the Pep Club and helped the organiza- tion. She brought back many new ideas for our Pep Club from the clinic in Manhattan. During this year the Pep Club has been one of the major organizations helping promote school spirit. 77 AW 0 EERL£ADER£ MARY REEDER JANE GRAY DEBBIE OARY BEV ENGEMANN EDNA LEWIS PAT REEDER B-TWM CWEERI£ADER£ SANDRA WOffMAN BEV ROSS ROSA RJUWNRE 78 CWEERLEADfN REQUIRES U ORIC YELL EANS!

Cheerleaders are involved in much preparation before the public sees them on the field or on the court. Last spring the Pep Club, by popular vote, elected the 1967-68 cheerleaders. During the summer months the girls decided upon a two-toned blue and white overblouse and a blue skirt with white inset pleats for the football season. They changed part of their outfits to blue weskits for the basketball season. Trojans are victorious!” The B team cheerleaders were selected at the beginning of this school term.

The main purpose of the Kay- ettes is to serve. Throughout the year the Kayettes perform many worthwhile projects. Among the projects are the adoption of a family and the sending of gifts to Viet Nam. At Thanksgiving the Kayettes decorated the tables in the lunchroom and with Christmas approaching, the Kayettes were busily decorating the class rooms at THS. Kayettes do find time to have fun. In the spring the organization had a slumber party which helped introduce the future members to the Kayettes. THS Kayettes select two girls to attend Kayette Camp at Rock Springs Ranch each year. The del- egates profit greatly by learning about the point system, publicity, and recreation, which help to make a better organization. 80 From left: J. Stewart, S. Cook, P. Foley, C. Kline, C.

They approve or veto extra-curricular activities as well as restrict the dress code. This governing student body has also held trial at assembly. Those on trial were reprimanded by the Student Council and sentenced. THS students served as witnesses at the trial. The Student Council made suggestions as to discipline and the students have acted accordingly. Another responsibility accepted by the Student Council this year was the sponsoring of the annual Christmas dance. This has traditionally been sponsored by the Kayettes; however, since they didn't feel financially capable, the Student Council, with the help of the school board, took over the project. After one of the football games, a dance was also sponsored by this organization. The Student Council mem- bers were elected from their home rooms and each class elected one representative. The officers were elected by the entire student body. Last year four studnet campaigned for an office. This year five students took an interest in their school affairs. The of- ficers and members have worked with the administration and school board. The Stu- dent Council acts as a link between students and the ad - ministration. 82 From left: Peggy Shelton, Sandra Hoffman, Mary Reeder, Mrs. Warren, Debbie Clary, Barbara Thomas, Carol Middleton, Mary Ellen Murphy, and Edna Lewis. LIBRARIANS LEARN AS THEY WORJC Librarians Keep Up With The News At the beginning of each school term, Mrs. Warren, who is in charge of the library at THS, selects several students to serve as student li- brarians for the year. The librarians have a number of responsibili- ties including checking in and out several hun- dred books each month. Besides this duty they help other students find books and research ma- terial for class assignments. They file new magazines, keep the library supplied with cur- rent newspapers, and study various aspects of library science. A great deal of trust is placed in these eight girls and they follow in the footsteps of former student librarians who accepted and carried out their responsibilities. Books and other publications are the key to a whole new world for some or an explanation of the present world for others and these student librarians help to make both available to their fellow students. 83 SEATED: Mr. Whiteside, (spon.); Jim Pickerell, president: Tom Bruns, vice-president; pan Albers, treasurer; Gregg Thomas, secretary.

KEY CLUB SERVES T.U.S. AND COMMUNITY Key Club is a service organization spon- sored by the Kiwanis. Sophomore, junior, and senior boys are eligible for admission. The aim of the Key Club is the develop- ment of initiative, leadership ability, and good citizenship practices. This year there are 12 members in the organization, which is sponsored by Mr. Whiteside. We Build, to build better leaders from the youth of to- day and be of service to home, school, and community, is the motto of the club. The Key Club sponsors the parent-teacher appreciation banquet, at which time the new members are inducted. The banquet this year was served by the Home Economics' girls. During the Christmas season the Key Club invites area ministers to THS to give a brief talk on anything pertaining to Christmas. The club's major money-making project is the selling of Christmas trees during the Christmas season. 84 From left: Tom Bruns, Jim Pickerell, Gregg Thomas, Dan Albers FIRST ROW: (L-R) D. Prawl, G.

VOCATIONAL AGRICULTURE STUDENTS The FFA is the national organization for boys studying vocational agriculture in secondary schools un- der the National Education Arts' provisions. This organization is a non-profit, non-political, non-sectarian farm youth organization of voluntary members designed for them to strive for leadership, to build a more permanent agriculture, and to improve country life. The Future Farmers of America is one- hundred per cent American in its outlook and in its ideals. They have no outside affiliations. The national emblem of the FFA is made up of five symbols: the owl, the plow, and the rising sun, within the cross section of an ear of corn, which is surmounted by the American eagle. This emblem is significant and meaningful in every detail. The symbolic owl shows wisdom and knowledge; labor and tillage of the soil is represented by the plow; the rising sun is symbolic of progress and the new day that will dawn when all farmers are trained and have learned to cooperate; the cross section of an ear of corn is emblematic of common agri- cultural interests since corn is native to America and is grown in every state; and the eagle indicates the nation- al scope of the organization. The emblem also carries the letters FFA and the words, Vocational Agricul- ture. Joe Anderson received the State Farmer degree. He is now entitled to wear the regulation gold emblem charm. EUGTBLE.

Club officers try out language facilities in sponsor’s classroom. The main purpose of the Language Club is to encourage the study and use of languages. THS Language Club had 38 members this year. Activities of the organization include Christmas caroling throughout the city of Troy, the annual Book Fair (held February 7, 8, and 9), and, for the first time this year, they participated in the senior carnival by having the Sweet Shop. A spring party was also held for all mem- bers of the organization. A pin is awarded to each member at the end of every year. Those participa- ting two or more years receive a number attachment to the first pin they received. The officers lead the many commit- tees and assure that all members have a chance to participate in the various activities of the yearly program. Through studying the language of for- eign countries, the students also learn about the countries themselves. 86 LANGUAGE CUJB SPONSORS B00f6 PAIR- Just what I've been looking for! Looks interesting.

FEW GET JOB DONE This year the members of the paper staff are few in number; however, this is not a problem for our studious and hard-working staff. These students are seen everywhere as a deadline approaches. They must find out who, what, when, and where and then they must print the information. They meet their dead-lines and always have a variety of interesting stories in the paper for students to read. During Christmas the staff added red and green color to the Trojan Trumpet to make a scene for the cover. Five members of the staff and Mrs. War- ren attended the 49th Annual High School Conference on September 23, at the Univer- sity of Kansas in Lawrence. There the stu- dents attended valuable and interesting lec- tures on journalism. A copy of the Trojan Trumpet was sent to K. U. to be critized this year. The purpose of this practice is to have criticism from unbiased judges. They tell us what we are doing wrong and suggest what can be done to improve our newspaper. The paper is published once a month. Alyce Smith, Vicki Hegarty, Mrs. Warren, Dorothy Manthe, Taylor, and Peggy Williams.

The pic- tures have to be taken, placed, and cropped, copy and heads must be written, and every- thing must be put on triplicate forms. These then have to be approved and sent to the publisher, who then takes over the job. Everyone has plenty of work, and the editor and sponsor are always in the middle of a busy group. The staff took on extra work this year. They have approximately 20 more pages in the new yearbook, and have designed their own division pages and cover. M. Reeder, D. Myers, S. Taylor, P.
