THS Dreams About Future Webster defines the word “dream” as a “fond hope.” However, with effort and de- termination many of these fond hopes may become realities. High school is a place where many dreams are formed, prepared for, and sometimes even fulfilled. Along the way, many find that they have made friendships and built memories to last a lifetime. TROJAN ’82 is a chronicle of the dreams of those in and around THS: dreams ful- filled, dreams never quite reached, and dreams still in the future. Jeff Clary, Copy Editor Becky King, Layout Editor 2 Dreams Year’s News Mixed In an age when the news stressed the most was bad news, the period from September, 1981, to May, 1982, was no exception. The world was shocked October 6, when the Egyptian President Anwar Sadat was brutally gunned down during a military parade. This man had been a critical force in establishing relatively peaceful relations between Egypt and Israel. A labor group called Solidarity for a time seemed to be winning concessions from the Soviet-aligned Polish gov- ernment. However, when the group pushed for too many freedoms, the government took action. December 12, mar- tial law was declared in Poland, the activities of Solidarity were halted, and the leader of Solidarity imprisoned. ) January was a dangerous month to travel by airplane. January 13,78 people died when a Boeing 737 crashed into a Washington, D.C. bridge. One of the passengers showed the world that heroes still existed in such a way to bring tears to the hardest heart. The unknown man refused a lifeline so five other people could be saved first, then was too exhausted to hold on until the lifeline returned for him. He was lost in the icy waters of the Potomac. Another air disaster occurred January 18. Four pilots of the famous Air Force Thunderbirds met their deaths while practicing precision maneuvers. One more major accident occured January 23 in Boston, when a DC-10 skidded off the end of a runway and into Boston harbor. Incredibly, all 208 people aboard survived. Some good news was heard periodically, as on March 10, when all nine planets aligned on one side of the sun. Some said that this event would precipitate the end of the world. The good news was that the big date came and went, but the world remained. Above right: The 1982 National Honor Society inductees sign the membership scroll. Right: Seniors concentrate on graduation practice with varying degrees of attention. rm ♦V As the school year ended, the world situation was again tense. The trouble spot was the Falkland Islands, near Argentina. Both Britain and Argentina claimed the is- lands. As of May 20, negotiotions were breaking down, the countries were taking military action against each other, and the situation was unresolved. The uncertain state of affairs did not stop the Trojans from enjoying their free time. Video games were something of a phenomenon in their popularity. Pac-man was the leading game. The game even had a popular song written about it. On the music scene, females often dominated the pic- ture. Olivia Newton-John enjoyed a renewed popular- ity. Groups with female lead singers, such as Quarter- flash and Joan Jett and the Blackhearts, accounted for several hit songs. One all-female group, the Go-gos, had some successful songs. Other popular groups were the Rolling Stones, Van Halen, Foreigner, Loverboy, and AC-DC. Fantasy and adventure were unusually popular at the movie theaters. Such pictures as Quest for Fire, The Sword and the Sorcerer, and Conan the Barbarian illus- trated this new trend. In a period of uncertainty young people still worked hard, played hard, and planned for the future, as they will as long as there is a future to plan for.

Above: Involved with graduation practice, juniors, Chris Beaty and Mary Middleton impatiently wait for the session to end. Dreams 5 Activities formed the stuff that dreams were made of for many students. Many young ladies fondly hoped that they might be chosen Homecoming Queen, FFA Sweetheart, or Queen-of-Courts. For a lucky few, these hopes were realized. In forensics, actors and speakers performed and com- peted, some perhaps dreaming of a future dramatic career. What event was more looked forward to than the junior-senior prom? Studies sometimes took a back seat to thoughts of that “dreamy” girl or guy. Finally, graduation was the highlight of many high school careers. Some just dreamed of graduating; the dreams of others were just beginning. Thoughts of college, career, or other future pursuits filled many young minds. 6 Activities Teresa New Queen Above and Right: Steve Schilling and Lori Cluck are attired for “Hat and Shades Day.” 8 Activities i Teresa Blanton was crowned 1981 Homecoming Queen in pre-game ceremonies October 9, by head escort Tim Franken.

Speakers Perform Throughout Year Despite a year of unpredictable weather, a flu epidemic, and a two-hour delay on the trip home from state speech contest because of a flat tire, the 22 members of the forensics team showed their true colors as they excelled in six contests this year. The forensics year consisted of four regular contests, the regional contest, and the state contest. The qualifying requirements for the State festival were a I rating and a 1st, 2nd, or 3rd place medal at any medal meet or a I rating at regionals. Nine students and the one-act play cast and crew qualified in five events. The team was coached by Mrs. Martha-Jean Rockey. 18 Activities Opposite page, top: The THS speech team consisted of 22 mem- bers.

The banquet was at the American Legion Hall, at 6:30 P.M. The meal for the banquet was prepared by the junior class mothers, and served by sophomores selected by the junior class. Those chosen were Greg Ashworth, Jill Jarrett, Laurie Klaus, John Michael Marriott, Kenny Neumann, Laralee Sandy, Ronnie Shelton, and Julia Simpson. Everyone was full of laughter when the speaker, Mr. Donald Harter, told jokes about the junior and senior classes. “The Deans” provided the music for the dance. It was in the old gym after the banquet. Above right: Mr. Harter speaks to the juniors and seniors at the banquet. Above: Here are the sophomores chosen to serve at the ban- quet.

They are made by people. Behind every face at THS was a dream. Most students dreamed of the future. By helping students to prepare for the future, many faculty members fulfilled their own dreams. The efforts of all the people involved with the school made it what it was: a place where many dreams were formed and a few were attained.

Yet, new challenges such as col- lecting plants for biology, and prepar- ing food in Mrs. Goss’s home ec class, present themselves. The sophomore class held many mon- ey-making projects, which included selling posters, t-shirts, and key rings.

People 33 Funds Raised Much of the juniors’ interest was fo- cused on raising money for the Ju- nior-Senior Prom and spending money on class rings. The class sold Nasco soap as a new method of raising money for prom. Also, under the supervision of Mrs. Goss, they were in charge of the con- cession stand during the football and basketball seasons. In October the juniors ordered their class rings from Balfour or Jostens. This was the first time that a class ordered from two different compan- ies.

They toured the Anheuser Busch Brewery, the Gateway Arch, the Westward Expansion Museum, and the St. Louis Zoo. The class also saw the Clydesdale horses; a pool party at the Holiday Inn and a meal on the floating McDonald’s Restaurant were two more of the activities enjoyed by the seniors before they returned to Troy, May 2.

Washington D.C. was the birthplace of Mr. Dale Whiteside, who found farming and railroads interesting. Mrs. Anna Goss hailed from Culver, Kansas, and listed her hobbies as cooking, sewing, and gardening. The counselor, Mr. Severt Anderson, was originally from Clay Center, Kansas. Golf, sports, and yard work were among his interests. Another native Trojan was Mr. Lyle Rockey, Jr., who enjoyed participating in sports, reading, and landscaping in his free time.

People 43 44 New Faces Enrich Staff The qualifications and interests of the four new faculty members varied from a recent college graduate inter- ested in coaching, to an experienced teacher interested in carpentry. The new math teacher was Miss De- bra Fitch. She attended Kansas City, Kansas Community College for two years, then transfered to Pittsburg State University, where she received a Bachelor of Science in Education Degree, specializing in physical edu- cation and mathematics. Miss Fitch was the junior class spon- sor and assistant pep club sponsor. Her hobbies were sewing, photogra- phy and coaching sports. Miss Denise Roebkes was the new librarian and library aid adviser. Miss Roebkes was from Mound City, Missouri. She attended Northeast Missouri State University at Mary- ville, Missouri, receiving a Bachelor of Science Degree in elementary edu- cation with a minor in library sci- ence. She was also the pep club and cheer- leading sponsor. Her hobbies were reading, fishing, and playing volley- ball. Above right: Miss Roebkes and Miss Fitch dis- cuss the day’s activities in the library. Right: Mr. Dreher prepares to play the trum- pet for his class. People Mr. Robert Dreher, the band and chorus teacher, came from St. Joseph, Missouri. He attended North- west Missouri State University, University of Iowa, University of Indiana, and Morning Side College. Mr. Dreher received a Bachelor of Arts in elementary and secondary education. His hobbies were carpentry and photography. Miss Amy Decker was the new phys- ical education and health teacher. Her home town was Lawson, Missou- ri. She attended Missouri Western and received a Bachelor of Science degree in physical education. Miss Decker was the sponsor of the sophomore class, volleyball coach, assistant basketball and track coach, and drivers’ education teacher.

People Principal Sets Goal Many changes occured in administration in the form of new offices and new leaders to guide students through their school days. The new principal was Mr. Steven Johnston. Mr. Johnston had taught instrumental music for four years before deciding that he wanted to be on a “one- to-one” basis with all students. The principal’s goal for his first year was to see stu- dents have the initiative to make rules and follow them. Mr. Johnston’s family consisted of his wife Pam, and sons Shannon and Steven Jr. His hobbies included electronic kit-building, playing baseball, and watch- ing football. Above right: The new principal, Mr. Johnston, discusses some important business over the phone.

The trailer had been vacat- ed by the special education class and was carpeted and paneled, and received two new windows be- fore it became the superintendent’s office, July 1, 1981. The new office was also used for meetings of the school board, which gained Mr. Hylen Rush and Mr. Bill Koehler as members in 1981. Left: Secretary Gail Clary takes a message for Mr. Johnston.

Not pictured is Mr. Hylen Rush. People 47 Staff Work Varies Some school employees performed duties that were important, but too often taken for granted. Picking up the children each morning and taking them home each evening weren’t the only jobs of the bus drivers. They drove the buses for ball games and other school activities away from home. They had to keep order on the bus and keep the bus clean. Extra drivers drove activity buses which took students home who were out for sports. Top right: Shirley Buessing relaxes after a day’s work. Above: The bus drivers were Harold Wykert, Lyle Yingling, Louie Thomas, Walter Anderson, Charlie Grable, and Jim Tracy. Right: Chloe Winder cleans up after lunch. 48 People Chloe Winder, Carol Christenson, and Head Cook Ella Koehler were the cooks at the beginning of the year. Carol had a stroke in January, and Shirley Buessing filled in as temporary help. In March a new rule was passed by the school board that said: “There is to be no smoking in the building.” The cooks walked out. The grade school cook, Anna Marie Win- kel, and some of the mothers of students filled in. Later, Carol Christenson returned from her illness, and Chloe Winder came back to work. Margaret Sut- ton was then hired as the new head cook. The custodians had to get to school early in the morning and stay later than any- one. They attended all school activities and cleaned up after they were over. Top left: Carol Christenson, Chloe Winder, and Ella Koehler pose for the camera.

The student who received this honor was Julia Simpson. Julia, a sophomore at THS, enjoyed studying about plant and animal life in biology. The class will be a big help to Julia later on when she goes to college and pursues a career in medicine, as either a nurse or doctor. In her spare time, Julia enjoyed swimming, cooking and reading. Dynasty, the story of Blake Carrington and his family, was Julia’s favorite television pro- gram. At the theater, On Golden Pond, the story of life, love, and growing old, was the movie she most enjoyed. REO and Journey were at the top of her musical list, as well as the haunting theme from Chariots of Fire. When Julia thinks food, her thoughts turn to sunny Mexico and its spicy dishes.

The 1981 Boys’ and Girls’ State delegates were Jeff Clary, Dean Weber, Debbie Masters, Geri Fenley, and Sheila Adkins. The program is held at Kansas University in Lawrence. Left: Boys’ State delegates Jeff Clary and Dean Weber; Cadette Lawman Tim Franken; and Girls’ State delegates Sheila Adkins, Geri Fenley, and Debbie Masters, gather in front of the Indian monument. Tim Franken represented Troy at Cadette Law- man camp May 30-June 6,1981, at Salina, Kansas. Sponsored by the American Legion, the camp is designed to acquaint young men with the duties of the highway patrol. CPR, self-defense, and check- ing the radar on an airplane were among the many things taught. Left: Tim reflects on his highway patrol experiences. “All in all, it was a very fun experience,” said Tim. People 51 Financial and career success is sometimes considered the “American Dream.” As the world of work continued to be- come increasingly complex, academic success became more and more important. The addition of a basic computer class emphasized the inevitable increase in education in scientific and technological fields. Many students, with an eye to the future, put forth the effort to excel in their scholastic endeavors. The various academic competitions attended by students offered them a chance to display their talents. Awards Night was the highlight of the academic year. Many students were recognized for their achievements. However, the value of this recognition was small compared to the value of the preparation for later life gained by the students through their academic pursuits. 52 Academics Awards Presented To Those Deserving At the Awards Night ceremony, May 12, students lettering in speech were given their awards, with three students double lettering, Jeff Clary, Jeff Barnthson, and Geri Fenley. Jeff Clary received an award for being the senior with the most points for four years. Geri Fenley and Jeff Clary tied for having the most points this school year. Journalism students received pins or bars, with Shei- la Adkins receiving a special pin for extra service as business manager. New members for Quill and Scroll were Sheila Adkins, Kris Bletscher, Cheryl Begesse, Mary Middleton, Michelle Foley, and Geri Fenley. Above right: Mr. Johnston hands Kim Jamvold the perfect attendance award for her third year in a row.

Those in pep club also received awards. Band and chorus members were given certifi- cates for their participation. The annual Sousa Award went to Jeff Barnthson. In the State of Kansas Scholarship Contest Troy received third place in the 2a State Divi- sion based on the scores on the tests. In the state Deanna Winzer and Paula Moore were awarded honorable mention in English 9. Bev Meng and Cheryl Begesse received honorable mention in Literature 11. Cheryl also won hon- orable mention in Spelling 11 and history. Plac- ing third in Literature 12 and Spelling 12 and first in English 12 was Jeff Clary. He also re- ceived honorable mention in physics. Mary Middleton was awarded honorable mention in history. Jeff Barnthson received honorable mention in Literature 12 and Spelling 12. The Dean of the School of Engineering recog- nized Jeff Clary with an award for being the outstanding Troy student in mathematics and science. Michelle Foley received the Elks Scholarship at Highland. Jeff Barnthson won a music scholar- ship to Highland. Jeff Clary was awarded the Kansas University Summerfield Scholarship. Geri Fenley was given the Creative and Per- forming Arts Scholarship for the academic year from Kansas University. The state scholars were Jeff Clary, Tim Franken, and Dean We- ber. The citizenship awards were given to Deb- bie Masters and Steve Tharman.

Academics 55 Groups Improve The Troy High School chorus and band gained a new instructor, Mr. Robert Dreher, and a new piano accompanist, Mrs. Martha Rockey. The band and cho- rus performed in the Christmas program, attended the league competition at Bene- dictine College, and entertained at the Spring Concert. A mixed quartet was selected by Mr. Dreher. The quartet consisted of Chris Beaty, Brenda Boeh, Linda Briggs, and Bryan Gaither. They performed in the Christmas program and entertained at the Methodist Church for the Methodist Men’s Brotherhood. Mr. Dreher’s goal for the band was to “turn a small band into a great sounding band.” The marching band was trans- formed into a stage band. Mr. Dreher’s varied musical experiences included other teaching positions and ownership of a music store. Above right, front row: Brenda Peterson, Lisa John- son.

The sen- iors participated in the annual County Goverment Day at the Doniphan County Courthouse. The class selected the participants in a mock election. The business math class was designed to prepare students for everyday math. American History, world history, sociology, and geography were taught by Mr. Lyle Rockey, Jr. The sociology class studied such subjects as the democratic process and choosing a vocation. The class was designed to observe how humanity be- haves in society. Geography offered a chance for many students to study the places they had dreamed of visiting.

The class created various projects, such as flower boxes, a gun cabinet, book shelves, a desk, and an octagonal game table. The industrial arts students also took on some outside school activities. They con- structed a shed for the pole vault pit on the field, a waterbed frame, a cedar chest, and a sign for the First Baptist Church. There were 30 students in Mr. Buhl’s Vo-Ag classes and 40 members in the Future Farm- ers of America. The class constructed a portable farrowing house, overhauled a John Deer “A” tractor, and built a shooting stand. Other projects included rabbit hutches and livestock gates.

They were as- sisted by Student Teacher Joyce Rush. The English department had a variety of courses for the students to take. Study skills, speech, grammar, and composition were required for the freshmen. Sophomores chose from literary explo- ration, short stories, mythology, creative writing, mysteries, advanced speech, newswriting, and grammar. Classes such as grammar, science fic- tion, westerns, research, oral interpretation, and American and English literature were picked by the juniors and the seniors.

Few fields inspire as many dreams in young people as that of athletic endeavor. Students may gain praise and recognition through sports. However, the fickle public will just as quickly lay blame on a player who “blows” the big play. For some, excellence in sports may provide a means to obtain future security by supplying financial aid for college. Whether in volleyball or football, basketball or track, Trojan athletes had the ambition to set high goals and the willingness to work and the persistence needed to meet their goals. 66 Sports Tammy Is Team Tammy Clary, running alone through the hills, broke the school cross-country record, with a time of 13:47, at Horton. Coach David Kuester, after working Tammy into form, saw the sophomore win two medals, while just missing the state-quali- fication pace of 13:35.

Troy won the league championship, in this new league, which consisted of seven schools: Troy, McLouth, Valley Falls, Wathena, Horton, Jackson Heights, and Jefferson County North. The Delaware Valley All-League players on offense were John Simpson, center; Jeff S. Clary, guard; Tim Franken, quarterback; and James Marriott, halfback. Defensive All- League players were Jeff S.

Groups 85 Rainbow Connection Theme for Kayettes The theme for the 1981-82 school year was the Rainbow Con- nection. The whole year centered around ideas derived from this. The Kayette board consists of nine members, each serving the school or community in her own special way. The president for 1981-82, Debbie Masters, conducted monthly meetings in the homes of board members. If the president were unable to attend a meeting, the vice-president for 1981-82, Kim Jamvold, stepped in to take the position of authority. The Installation Banquet for the new officers was held April 26. Highway patrolman Roy Roper was the featured speaker.

Groups 91 Groups Earn Money The high school and junior high football teams sold caps in order to raise money for a weight machine. Since the weight machine was to be used by most of the athletic groups, the money made was put into the T-Club fund. The young men made $561.49, selling five different styles of caps, the most popular one being the triple-striped Trojan cap. The only major money-raising project that the FCA group had was cutting and selling wood. The group made around $300 with this project. The money they made was used to purchase national memberships and send the members to regional and national con- ferences. Above right, front row: J. Jarrett, B. Winkel, G. Fenley, and J. Simpson.
