The 1983 Trojan Troy High School Troy, Kansas 66087 Volume 71 Published by Publications Class Years pass away; memories remain Memories are what high school is all about. Memories of good times with close friends, doing well on a difficult test, and giving up those blue jeans for a gown or tuxedo for one special night. These are difficult, yet carefree years. These are the years in which boys and girls struggle to become men and women, and plan for their futures. Yet, these are happy times, because the pressures and responsibilities of the world have not yet been felt. Most of all, these are wonderful years that deserve to be remembered. The days pass quickly and soon friends will say good-bye and go out to challenge the world and realize their dreams. They will leave with knowledge, hope, and probably a little fear, but most of all they will leave with memories. There is a saying from “Camelot” which perhaps best describes this book. Don’t ever let it be forgot, That there was this spot, For one brief, shining moment. Cheryl Begesse, Copy Editor Becky Winkel, Layout Editor 2 3 People 4 People AAAAA Of all the many memories a student has of his high school years, perhaps the fondest and most important, are of the people he knew. People are the life-blood of a school. Everyone plays an important part. There were the teachers who struggled, laughed, and cried with us, who shared in our victories and defeats, in order to help us light the lamp of knowl- edge. The principal, secretaries, and school board helped keep everything in order and make important decisions. There were the cooks, janitors, and bus dri- vers who fed us, kept the school clean, and delivered us to our homes, contests, and sport events. But of all these, the best memories come from our fellow students. Memories of laughter, hopes, and dreams shared with friends. These are what remain with us through the years. People 5 Seniors depart Graduation classes of THS traditionally choose a color, flower, and motto. The seniors of ’83 chose light blue and pink as their colors. The carnation was picked as the class flower. The motto, which should be remembered in later years, was “The only person worse than a quitter, is the one who is afraid to begin.” The seniors traveled to Kansas City for their trip with the money they raised from selling magazines.

They were supervised by Mrs. Goss, and they earned money to go toward prom. During the month of September, the juniors looked at class rings from Jostens and Balfour. The class decided to buy their rings from Jostens. The juniors played a big role in the extra activities at Troy High. Many of the juniors were involved in the all-school play, cross country, football, volleyball, basketball, FFA, and Kayettes, and the juniors had the largest class involved in T-Club this year.

The class made $1,401.00 from their money- making project. The freshmen had a tough year as most freshmen do. They had to put up with the upper-classmen’s criticisms. Yet they were not left out of the fun at THS. Many fresh- men participated in sports, activities and organizations. The class officers and sponsor were front row: Mr. Whiteside, sponsor; Karen Thomas, vice-president; Tim Hegarty, secretary; back row, Jim Koehler, treasurer; and Paula Smith, president.

Mrs. Rockey played the piano for the high school chorus, the high school mixed ensemble, and at the Methodist Church. She has been playing since the fourth grade. Mr. Fred Folsche had been an amateur aviator for the past 20 years. He flew remote control air planes, usually on Sundays, Mr. Folsche made some of his planes and traded with others. In his spare time Mr. Arthur Buhl enjoyed bow hunt- ing. He had hunted since grade school and competed a little in high school and college. One of Miss Debra Fitch’s hobbies was photography. She said she enjoyed taking scenic pictures while traveling over the summer. Mr. Lyle Rockey, with the help of Mrs. Rockey, Mr. Alferd Zimmerman, and a college student, built his home out of an old house. Right: Mrs. Israel studied at Marymount College. A common saying of hers was, “All right, now.” Below: Mrs. Rockey attended Kansas State University. She could often be heard questioning, “Can we hold it down in here?” Bottom Right: Mr. Folsche received his degree at Kansas State University. “A-l, boy, A-l!” was a popular response of his. “I forgot,” could often be heard from Mr. Buhl, who received his degree at New Mexico University and was working on another at Kansas State University. 18 People To work his way through college, Mr. Bruce Reynolds became a liscensed cosmotoligist. He worked for mortuar- ies preparing deceased persons. Besides living in Troy, Miss Denise Roebkes also had a residence in Falls City, Nebraska. She lived in Troy while school was in session and in Falls City during the summer. Mr. Dale Whiteside’s hobby was electric trains. Mr. White- side collected electric trains and tried to start a train club in Troy. Mrs. Babetta Israel had been the Troy High School Kayette sponsor for the past eight years. She hosted the Kayette Conference twice. Top: “I remember one time ” was a popular phrase of Mr. Reynolds who received his degrees at Emporia State University and North West Oklaho- ma State University. Left: Miss Fitch studied at Donnelly College, Kansas City Kansas Community College and Pittsburg State. She would often respond with “Say what?” “Get to work,” demanded Miss Roebkes, who stud- ied at Northwest Missouri State University. Far left: “Simply ” was frequently heard from Mr. Rockey who attended Highland Community College and Emporia State University. If one heard the words, “This time everybody plays, everybody wins,” it was probably coming from Mr. Whiteside who attended Kansas State University. Mr. Frank Davis at one time taught at Highland Community Junior Col- lege. As to why he stopped teaching there and began teaching here he commented, “For two reasons: money, and this way I was closer to my kids.” For relaxation Mr. Severt Anderson played golf two to three times a week last summer. He has played this sport since he was four years old. Mrs. Anna Goss had instructed students at THS for 33 consecutive years. She reminisced, “Back then school was from 9 A.M. to 4 P.M. Now there are a lot more subjects and extra curricular activities. Everyone knew that Mr. Bill Foster ran in his spare time, but how many knew that he also went rafting and canoeing. Three days out of the summer he traveled from Nebraska City to White Cloud on the Missouri River. Top right: Mr. Davis received his masters at Missouri Western. His saying is, Get your daubbers up!” Above: At Emporia State Mr. Anderson received his masters degree in counseling and a bachelors degree. What he says often is, “I’ll get back to you later.” Upper right: Mr. Pemberton commonly remarks, I didn’t say that.” Right: Mrs. Goss helps Opal Jones with her project. Mrs. Goss attend- ed KSU. Very good!” is the saying she is known for. 20 People Two teachers join high school staff Miss Jodie Giles and Mr. Kirk Pemberton were the only new members of the faculty. Miss Giles went to NWMSU in Maryville where she majored in physical education for K-12 with emphasis on coaching. She taught health and freshman girls’ P.E. She was also the assistant coach of girls’ track and girls’ basketball. Her hobbies included golfing, cooking, making hand crafts, and playing sports. Mr. Pemberton received his education at Pittsburg State University in Pittsburg, Kan- sas. He instructed band and chorus. In his spare time he liked to refinish furniture.

Three of them were the University of Chicago, the University of Idaho, and the University of California at Davis. “You lose!” was a popular remark of his. People 21 “ Johnston boosts spirit Mr. Johnston told students that his door was open for anyone to come and talk to him. He came up with an idea for spirit in the school.

Mr. Pharr, Mr. Johnston and Mr. Harter gave reports on the many topics of importance. The board discussed the various occurrences and needs that arose. Some purchases that they approved were five overhead doors for the bus barn and a 20” Kent Electric Automatic Scrubbervac for the gym. The minutes were taken by Nell Larzelere.

The bus drivers were responsible for getting the Trojans to school on time and home again safely. They also provided transportation after cross country, football, volleyball, bas- ketball, and track practice. The bus drivers were also re- sponsible for taking students to different school activities. Above: Louie Thomas tries to keep the hails at THS clean. Left: Bus drivers from left to right, Jon Herpich, Charlie Grable, Louie Thomas, Raymond Barnsthon, and Harold Wykert. Student life explored Student life was a new section designed to give a different look at the students of THS. This section did not have to do with any classes, groups, orga- nizations, or activities, but the students as indivi- duals. THS students had many ways to spend their spare time, such as part time jobs, working as volunteers for a political campaign, and other things which they found exciting. Students also found ways to make the time more exciting in school also. Wild games of basketball during lunch hour were one way that the students could relieve the pressure of a day at school. 26 People People Also, crazy antics in the halls seemed to make the day go a little faster. But no matter what was happening, the one thing one always saw, was friendship. Whether it was two friends studying for a test or a group of friends running the town together, the one thing THS had, was friendship.

What queen of Homecoming, Queen of Courts, or FFA Sweetheart, could forget the thrill of wearing that crown and presiding over those festivities? What young actor didn’t feel relieved and proud while receiving applause at the school play? Who could forget getting all dressed up in that gown or tux for one memorable evening called prom? Perhaps we do tend to forget while the memories are new, but on that exciting, frightening, night known as graduation, they all come flooding back. Mendi chosen queen for Homecoming ’82 Miss Mendi Ashworth was crowned Homecoming Queen Octo- ber 1 during the pre-game ceremonies. Danny King received the honor of head escort. He presented Mendi six roses, a crown, a sash, and a kiss. Mendi’s court was Julie Blake, Linda Briggs, Mary Middleton, and Becky Winkel. They were escort- ed by Don Huss, John Marriott, Ronnie Shelton, and Larry Wilke, respectively. Each candidate was presented a rose and a kiss. Crown and gift bearers were Eric Anderson, Glen Gronniger, Nikia Rosenberger, and Jamie Smith. The candidates were chosen by the football team, and the queen was chosen by the student body. 30 Activities The week preceding Homecoming is known as Spirit Week. Some activities were Punk Rock Day, Sweats Day, the bonfire, pep rallies given by different organizations, and the Mr. Legs Contest.

Activities 31 Gentlemen Prefer Blondes Several students of THS presented the all-school play, “Gentlemen Prefer Blondes,’’ November 18 and 19. It was written by Anita Loos. The play begins when Lorelei and Dorothy are off to Europe to get an “education,” but as Lorelei comes to learn, “for a girl like I,” an education can mean many things: falling in love, losing one’s money, and breaking one’s heart.

Activities 47 From victories to tragedies, the 1982- ’83 school year was an eventful one. Nationwide, on September 14, Prin- cess Grace of Monaco lost her life fol- lowing a terrible automobile accident. On September 29, people began to die mysteriously after taking Extra- Strength Tylenol and James Lewis was later questioned. Soviet Premeir Leonid Brezhnev passed away November 10, and on December 8 Norman Mayer was killed by police after threatening to destroy the Washington monument. The country mourned the death of famed Alabama coach Bear Bryant in January and again in February mourned for singer Karen Carpenter. Native Kansan John Riggins helped the Washington Redskins defeat the Miami Dolphins in the Superbowl, Jan- uary 30. A horrible storm battered the Califor- nia coast in early March and destroyed many homes and property. Later that month Barney Clark lost his battle for life after 112 days with the world’s first artificial heart. On April 5, the Challenger was shot into space, and later, Chicago elected its first black mayor, Harold Washington. The world of entertainment made peo- ple forget their problems even if only for a while. The giant blockbuster was about a lovable little alien named E.T., who charmed his way into the hearts of America. Other big movie hits were An Officer and a Gentleman. Tootsie. Gandhi, and Sophie’s Choice. In music, a group from Down Under called “Men at Work,” took the coun- try by storm. Olivia Newton-John, Kenny Rogers, Air Supply, Styx and Journey all stayed on top. Of course everyone was keeping up on the latest clothing styles. The tux- edo look, mini-skirts, and fashions reminiscent of the ’50’s were just a few of the latest looks. 48 Activities School year proves eventful The past school year was pretty special for Troy High School. Two major accomplishments were achieved. For the first time in nearly 50 years Troy won the title of Sub-State Basketball Champions. Although the team later fell, they had gone farther than any team in years and won a great honor. The one-act play cast set a new record by becoming the first play cast to receive a I rating at state speech. The play was the “Fabulous Fable Factory.” Opposite page top: Coach Rockey was presented this sign after his team became Sub-State Basketball Champions.

Activities 49 Everyone needs to be a part of something, to feel that he belongs, to get involved. Groups provide students with that sense of belonging, giving them something to work for together and providing them with many happy memories. What girl can forget the feeling of doing something good for her community as a member of Kayettes? The thrill of being in pep club and cheering on the team through both victory and defeat, and the pride at being chosen a member of the National Honor Society linger on long after the high school years are over. People working together. That is what groups are really all about, and that is the source of the fondest memories. Memories of friends last a life-time. Students serve faculty Troy High School had seventeen aides. There were seven library aides, six grade school aides, three office aides, and one industrial arts aide.

But above all, it takes a desire to excel, to be on top. And without it, there can be no bright future or better life. When a student looks back, he will remember the many challenges each of his high school classes presented. The difficult tests, the many projects and experiments all dared him to use his mind, to discover exciting new worlds. Music taught The first day of school the band teacher, Mr. Robert Dreher re- signed. Troy High School was in trouble. The school board re- placed the band director when the school was in need. The school then hired a teacher who came into this school ready to help. Mr. Kirk Pemberton was then the new band teacher at THS. The band and chorus traveled to Atchison for a music clinic at Benedictine College. They also went to Shawnee Mis- sion East for the regionals con- test. There were two groups in cho- rus who performed at regionals.

Academics 77 Sports are an important part of high school, because not only do they strengthen the body, but they promote fellowship, working together toward a common goal. Sports also provide many fond memories. Memories of relief as the finish line was reached, of pride at making that touchdown, of happiness at shooting the winning basket. Not only in victory, but even in defeat there are happy memories of doing one’s best, of working as a team. A special memory of 1983 was the joy of becoming substate basketball champions. JV tries Bruce Reynolds coached the THS junior varsity football team. THS players did not come out with a successful season. They played three tough teams, Horton, Jackson Heights, and Mid- way. THS had a win against Wathena. Above: Front row: Mike Wiedmer, Tim Hagerty, Jim Koehler.

She showed a great deal of concern for the girls when a problem was bothering one of the players. Togetherness was stressed by the new coach. The girls’ first goal was to win a game and then to win a match. The Lady Trojans gave it their best shot and ended up with a 5-15 record. Coach Fitch stated, “This year was a year for learning to work with others. Our team improved much from last year. I am looking forward to a winning season next year.

Even though their record, 7-12, doesn’t reflect a winning year, the girls made important steps up their ladder of success. The season began rather slowly for the girls because of a tough schedule, with six out of the first seven games played on their opponents’ courts, but it wasn’t long before the Lady Trojans would really come to life and make the year something to remember for everyone involved. Under the coaching of Jodie Giles and Frank Davis, the girls worked like a team and they began to realize what success really means. Above front row: Jackie Herpich, Jennifer Scholz, Karen Thomas.

Athletes earn awards Again this year instead of having a formal banquet, the T-Club decided to have an informal pot-luck dinner. Since there was no speaker the awards were given directly after dinner. The basketball coaches started something new this year. They gave awards for most rebounds, best field goal percentage, best free-throw percentage, most assists and most total points. Most rebounds was earned by Jill Jarrett and Rob Karn; best field goal percentage, Carrie Chase and Don Huss; best free-throw percentage, Lara- lee Sandy and Doug Meng; most assists, Laurie Klaus and John Marriott; and most total points, Carrie Chase and Don Huss. Their names will be engraved on a plaque and put in the trophy case. After all the athletes who received letters and bars were recognized, two special awards were given. Don Huss was the recipient of the “Tom Keller Award” for the most tackles. Also, Connie Johnson had the prestige of winning the school’s highest athletic honor, the “Bill Foster Award.” 92 Sports Above left: Greg Ashworth receives his bar for lettering in his third year of football.
