Once again we faced the year with renewed strength and determination to grasp that illusive spirit of victory but when it seemed to be ours it slipped again from our grasp. And time slowly ground on. The Trojan football team started the year with a renewed “spark” of enthusiasm. The squad came close to success until after the Midway game, when they started to lose spirit. After winning only one K-36 league game (against Elwood), they also won their last game of the season by defeating Easton. The team was under the leadership of a new coach. Tom Smith, a native of Highland. Coach Smith demanded long hours of hard practice and enforced many rules. Assistant Coach, Ed Grosdidier, ex- pressed a possible philosophy for our team when he said. “We play for fun, but it's no fun to lose.” Mike Meier, a tackle, was nominated to the first all league team selections.

A time to be born, and a time to die; a time to plant, and a time to pluck up that which is planted; A time to kill, and a time to heal; a time to break down, and a time to build up; A time to weep, and a time to laugh; a time to mourn, and a time to dance; A time to cast away stones, and a time to gather stones together; a time to embrace, and a time to refrain from embracing; A time to get, and a time to lose; a time to keep, and a time to cast away; A time to rend, and a time to sew; a time to keep silence, and a time to speak; A time to love, and a time to hate; a time of war, and a time of peace.” ECCL. 3:1.8 And a time to say good-bye.
