“Tread Softly ... ” Mr. Jess Gilstrap, new this year to the school system, says to 'tread softly and carry a big, long sledge hammer. I wish to thank the yearbook staff for this opportunity to record a few items in your memorable edition of THE TROJAN. First, let me congratulate everyone who spent long hours writing and editing, to create such a fine yearbook. Second, I want to convey my appreciation to the stu- dent body, certified and non-certified staff, and others who have worked together to produce such excellence this past school year. One primary goal has been to encourage positive attitudes in all endeavors concern- ing sports events, academic achievements, or daily associations. In 1776 getting an education was important; in 1976 that concept has not changed. Our inherited traditions were brought to us by our ancestors who were determin- ed to win their freedoms--their rights—to read, to write, to assemble, to vote, to express opinions. May we continue those determinations today in order to gain an awareness of the world about us, an understanding of the community in which we live, and insights into the lives we experience. Because it is through becoming aware that we can develop our potential in quest of a goal: to reach fulfillment. And finally, I want to wish each of you the best of luck as you plan your future; I hope the experiences you have had at Troy High School will benefit you in the present and in the future. Mr. Nick Dannevik, who has been here for 14 years, is the student counselor at Troy High. He also teaches motivations. He received his MS at Northwest Mis- souri State College. Mrs. Mariam Thomas, secretary to Mr. Gilstrap, has been helping students and faculty for three years.

Special Education Art, And Music The art classes had one field trip during the first se- mester. The art classes were under the direction of a new teacher, Ms. Severance. The classes made dif- ferent projects during the year such as linoleum cuts, textures, designs, color painting, deco polish, and different pictures. In the music department the band students sold candles to buy a new amplifier. The special education class of 1975 was a small one. This was Miss Fowler's first year of teaching and she seemed to have fully enjoyed it. The class made scenes of the seasons and holidays for the bulletin boards. They also spent time making cards for Christ- mas. The class worked and studied throughout the year with plenty of fun mixed in. Miss Suzanne Fowler is the special education teacher. She earned her BSE at Emporia Kansas State College. This is her first year at Troy. 12 Ms. Jan Severance joined the staff at THS this year teaching art and English. She went to Northwest Mis- souri State where she received her BS. She sponsors the pep club. Mr. Clifford Manning, director of band and chorus, has been teaching at Troy for 4 years. He earned his BMC and MA at Kansas University.
