Text from Pages 1 - 120 of the 1984 volume:

Students experience change Changes are what every high school student exper- iences. A person changes physically, as well as emo- tionally, throughout his high school years. It is the emotional changes that help us deal with the problems of everyday life. They are what makes us each unique individuals. Each change that we have prepares us for the next step in life. With new students at THS, the atmosphere changes. Each year is a little different from the last. THS has not changed much over the years, but the students who attended it made it a unique place for a period of time. Change is permanent. We can never go back and redo something, but we can take what we have and fight the next battle in life.

Flight 007, which boarded 73 Kore- ans, at least 39 Americans, 28 Japanese, and smaller groups from at least nine other countries, was shot down by a fighter pilot. President Reagan sent troops to Lebanon as a peace- keeping force. He also sent troops to Grenada to rescue the trapped medical students. Perhaps the biggest international tragedy that the U.S. experienced was the bombing in Beirut where 289 Ameri- cans were killed. Looking at the U.S. nationally, who could forget the show- ing of “The Day After”? This movie let the public see the outcome if a nuclear attack happened. It caused much controversy all over the nation and in the schools. The most interesting thing in politics was the Democratic presidential race between Sen. Gary Hart, Walter Mon- dale, and Rev. Jesse Jackson. The big craze of the year was the Cabbage Patch Doll. With these cute little dolls came adoption papers with names on them. No two names of the three million dolls were the same. The price of this doll varied from $30 to $150, but one doll sold for $1,000. The XIV Winter Olympics Games were held in Sarajevo, Yugoslavia. The school year ended with several countries pulling out of the summer Olympics that were held in Los Angeles. These were just some of the events that happened in the world and in the U.S. All has happened and nothing can be changed. Summary 3 Student Life HO_4 Cnanefce in this 6-page section of student life we’ll take a look at the fads of the school year, and the changes that took place. The quiz bowl team was an addition to THS’s extra-curricular activities. About 40 students participated in taking the exams to make the team. Only four individuals made the team, with two alternates. Shown in the photo above are the students who repre- sented Troy at the quiz bowls. Pictured with the WIBW station manager are Carrie Chase, Julia Simpson, Pam Oyerly, Ken Thar- man (alternate), and Paul Gronniger. Julie Goss, who was the other alternate, is not pictured. Their instructor was Mr. Bruce Reynolds. Other changes that occurred at THS are discussed in the sections with which they are related in this yearbook. 4 Student Life Various styles found at THS What would student life be if you didn’t take a look at the styles? Yes, folks, for another year the “preppy” look was in - whether you wanted to wear a long-sleeved t-shirt with a polo under it or wear one polo over another. Every day you could see one of these styles at THS. Other types of popular clothing were rugby pants, Lee, and Levi. On their feet, the daring did not wear socks and many wore topsiders or penny loafers, and the remainder wore tennis shoes. When it comes to hairstyles there was only one - punk! This hairstyle was very short in the front and on the sides. In fact, many people got what they call “ears cut out. Not literally though, the hair was cut real short around the ear and the whole ear showed. The hair in the back was longer. This cut was what many stylists called a bi-level. Of course in years to come these styles will change. The clothes and hairstyles that are popular today will be laughed at in the future, but for the 1983-84 school year, they were “in. 6 Student Life Top: Theresa Simpson and Ronnie Shelton freeze while praciticing for Homecoming.

Student Life 7 THS students spend time with music for entertainment One might ask what someone does for entertainment in a small town like Troy. Many students of THS would answer that question with one word - party! Besides partyin’ students had other forms of entertainment. Most liked to cruise St. Joe and catch a flick. Movies were a big thing this school year. Terms of Endearment won an Oscar for Movie of the Year. Hot Doa. Police Academy. Footloose, and Splash were some of the more popular movies. Music was another form of entertainment. Whether they just want- ed to relax on their bed at home or “jam” their way to a basketball game, this is something THS students could not do without. The familiar groups stayed at the top of the charts while new groups climbed up them also. Journey once again was a favorite rock group. Their new album Frontiers carried such hits as “Send Her My Love,” “Can’t Stop Falling,” and “Faithfully.” The Police was awarded the Song of the Year with “Every Breath You Take.” Michael Jackson won eight Grammys with such songs as “Billie Jean,” “Thriller, and Beat It” from his album Thriller. The Foot- loose soundtrack also produced many hits. Van Halen’s album 1984 carried such hits as “Jump” and “Panama. All these songs could be heard on popular radio stations like ZZ99, KYI02, and 106.5KCI. This year was not the year of video games, but the year of entertainment. 8 Student Life Opposite page, top: Rob Karri takes a break in his day and treats himself to a Pepsi.

Student Life 9 o XI Cfnane z.s Probably the highlight of each year at THS is the activities that take place. Many students find themselves anxiously awaiting an upcoming event. It is events such as Homecoming, Queen of Courts, and prom that led up to the final activity of the year — graduation. As far as changes go in this section, the only difference is that prom took place at the Ramada Inn at St. Joseph, Missouri. 10 Activities Queen Laurie reigns Miss Laurie Klaus was crowned the 1983 Homecoming Queen by head escort, John Marriott, during the pre-game ceremonies Oc- tober 7. The attendants in Laurie’s court were Carrie Chase, Jill Jarrett, Julia Simpson, and Theresa Simpson. Each candidate received a rose and a kiss from their escorts, Greg Ash- worth, Robbie Karn, Doug Meng, and Ronnie Shelton. Crown and gift bearers were Lindsay Christen- son, Mandy Robinson, Shane Peden, and Jus- tin Johnson. After the crowning, the Trojans rolled over the Jackson Heights Cobras, 31-6, capturing the title of first-ranked football team in Class 2A.

This year at THS was an exciting one when it comes to the sports section. The girls’ volleyball and basket- ball teams improved. The football team was ranked first after beating Jackson Heights. The basketball team was never ranked but went on to have an undefeated season. There were a number of stu- dents out for track. Yes, this year had quite a few changes. It also cre- ated many memories - memories of the tears we shed, whether it be the only loss of our football season or the winning of the state championship in basketball. 30 Trojans have excellent year Winning the Delaware Valley League title with an 8-0 record made it an excellent season for Troy High School’s varsity football team. The Trojans traveled to Wildcat country for their first game in district play. Troy stomped Wathena, 35-0. The mighty Trojans then hosted JCN for the second and deciding district game. It was a penalty-ridden game, but the Trojans came out on top with a score of 33-12 to secure a play-off berth. The Trojans’ only loss came from Jackson Heights in the Bi-Dsitrict Play-offs when the Trojans were downed 2-6. This ended Troy’s season with an 8-1 record. The defensive statistics looked very impressive. The Trojans al- lowed only 84 points all season, an average of 9.3 points per game. The offensive statistics were equally impressive. The offense scored 328 points, an average of 36.4 points per game. Don Huss topped the yardage charts with 1,179 yards. Doug Meng had over 900 yards rushing, while John Marriott had 390 yards rushing and 742 yards passing. 32 Sports «JAAS i S m ”• mj w • viJ ls jmj « ' Sl Jt V Ipu A r._ '... ron hup ' ' TPniAMS U V Ck ;T rk” ‘ 'R0JM6 TjJjfc t«DJm r£lJlILS TtOJAKS 1R0JAH •S3 70 65 SO, 33 ,34 64, TJOJAHS i 4 SEASON’S RECORDS TROY OPPONENT McLouth 41 14 Pleasant Ridge 49 8 Horton 53 22 Oskaloosa 33 0 Jackson Heights 31 6 Kansas School for the Deaf 51 16 Wathena 35 0 Jefferson County North 33 12 Jackson Heights 2 6 District Games Bi-District Play-Offs Opposite page, top: Ron Shelton, number 4, reflects the emotion of the Homecoming victory over Jackson Heights, 31-6.

We played top schools such as Midway and Valley Falls close,’’ commented Coach Debra Fitch. Five seniors led the squad through a tough season which ended with a record of 4-17. Even though hard work, determination, and enthusiasm aren’t reflected by the record, these elements were pre- sent in both the team and the coach. Sub-state finals were held at Jefferson County North, Saturday, October 29. Sixth-seeded Troy drew third-seeded Valley Falls for their first match. The Trojans upset the Dragons in two straight games, 15-13 and 15-6. The girls then went on to face the second-seeded team, host Jefferson County North. This match proved to be tougher than the first and ended in a Trojan defeat, 9-15 and 6-15. When asked about her thoughts of the sub-state tournament, Miss Fitch said, “I was pleased at our performance. To defeat the third-seeded team in two straight games was quite an accomplishment. Next, we just fell short to JCN, who later went on to win the sub-state tournament.’’ 35 Ircarc dS r 'w r • . uu Junior varsity has short season Even though statistics aren’t kept, the THS junior varsity worked very hard on improving their abilities and talents. The JV season only included two games, Kickapoo and Wathena. Two other games, Horton and Jackson Heights, were cancelled. The Trojans stomped Kickapoo Na- tion, 28-14, then were defeated by the Wathena Wildcats, 14-22. Top: Front row: Jim Koehler. Tim Hegarty, and Craig Grable. Row 2: Bryan Adkins.

We kept improving throughout the entire year. We were young. Next year we’ll have everybody back but Tammy,” stat- ed Coach Kelley. When you work solely on running, not an offense or defense, it takes a lot of hard work and determination to go to practice every day. Tammy Clary, a four-year vet- eran, said, “I think that because of the fact that we’ve changed coaches every year, we really haven’t had the chance to build a team. It’s been more of an individ- ual sport. I dreaded the practices and the meets, but now that it’s over, I’m going to miss it.” Top: Robert Sigrist.

Sports 37 Troy takes everything in 1984 The season began when the Trojans won the Delaware Valley League Tournament. In the first round of action, the Trojans defeated Jeffer- son County North, 56-44. They then conquered the Oskaloosa Bears by a score of 59 to 48. Then came the final game against Jackson Heights. Both teams were undefeated going into this game. The first- place trophy and an undefeated record were on the line. The Trojans came out of the game victorious being the Jackson Heights Cobras, 48-41. They won the Delaware Valley League Tournament, but this was only one small accomplishment the Trojans showed they were capable of. Next was the Highland Tournament. Troy won the tournament easily by defeating Highland in the championship game by a score of 48 to 33. This was the fourth consecutive year the Trojans have won the Highland Tourney. The Trojans also received the honor of being the Delaware Valley League champions after they defeated Pleasant Ridge in the final game of regular season play. The Trojans then advanced to Sub-State where they met Onaga in the first round. Troy blew out Onaga by a score of 94 to 46. The next opponent Troy faced was Centralia. Troy defeated Centralia, 67-53. Troy advanced to the final round where they faced Jackson Heights. Troy easily won the game, beating the Cobras, 52-41. The next step was the State Tournament. The boys won the State championships and finished the season with an outstanding record of 25-0. The highlights of the State Tournament can be found on pages 94-97. Don Huss, Rob Karn, and John Marriott received All-League honors and Ron Shelton, Honorable Mention.

Under the second-year coaching of Jodi Giles and Frank Davis, the girls ended their season with a winning record, 11-8. The Lady Trojans finished the 1983-84 season with a higher field-goal percentage than their opponents and had only a slightly lower free-throw percentage. The girls also pulled down 681 rebounds and had 181 steals and 190 assists. Carrie Chase and Jill Jarrett received the honor of being selected for the first-team Delaware Valley All-League squad.

He won the award with a total of 124 tackles for the season. This year the athletic banquet was different. In the fall, a banquet was held to honor those lettering in football, volleyball, and cheerleading. Instead of hav- ing an athletic banquet in the spring, the ceremony was held on awards night when the academic awards were presented. The letters for basketball, track, and some special awards were given. Two special plaques were made for the girls’ and boys’ basketball teams. These recorded the follow- ing: most points, Carrie Chase, 165; free throw per- cent over 50 attempts, Jill Jarrett, 50%; field goals over 100 attempts, Jill Jarrett, 33; assists, Jill Jarrett, 49; rebounds, Marilyn Weber, 176. The boys' recorded the following: most points, Don Huss, 300; free throw percent, Don Huss, 76%; field goals percent, Don Huss, 49%; assists, John Mar- riott, 141; rebounds, Rob Karn, 185.

Nothing seems to change at THS — the school looks the same as it did last year and the classes are the same. The only thing that does change is the student body. This year the new students were Michelle Adkins, freshman; Renee Bell, sophomore; Jeannette Cluck, senior; and Barb Thompson, senior. The new faculty members were Mr. Hundley, Vo Ag; and Mr. Nelson, music. These are not the only new faces that we see. Each year THS loses a senior class and gains a freshman class. This creates the differ- ence in our student body. Not only do the new faces provide change, but we as individuals change also. Over the school year we may grow an inch or gain a few pounds. This is not necessarily the change I’m talking about. I mean the changes in our atti- tudes and personalities. The different personalities we gain each year are what makes THS the ideal place. Each individual adds the special touch that makes this a place to find friendships that last a lifetime — whether it be a group of friends going out on the town or finding an upperclass- man in whom you can confide. In years to come, I’m sure THS will still be the same — all but the changing atmosphere of people. Seniors follow tradition Following tradition, the class of “84” picked class colors, flower, and motto in their eighth grade year. They chose blue and silver as their class colors, a blue and white carna- tion as their class flower, and their motto was “The reason many don’t climb the ladder of success is be- cause they are waiting for the eleva- tor. As a money-making project, the seniors sold magazines and made $1,344.01 profit. Denise Sutherland was high salesperson. Coud-l. - - kb Y djlOAJU iJUcJUti . 'Oe yi eA 7)t0 .

In past years the class was supervised by Mrs. Goss, but the class sponsors, Miss Roebkes and Mr. Reynolds, took over the operation. Another change was having the con- cession stand inside during football season. This was due to the fact that the outside one needed too many re- pairs. Early in the year, the juniors looked at class rings from Balfour and Jostens. The class picked Jostens. The junior class also sponsored prom, which was held at the Pamada Inn.

People 57 Biology a challenge The sophomores found this year just as challenging as last year. Again they had to put up with the upperclassmen’s criti- cism, but the biggest challenge was biol- ogy.

It can be exciting as well as frightening. The freshman must take on new responsibilities and face new graduating requirements. They once again sold Tom- Wat for their money-making project. They also went on a hayrack ride, something that has not been done for a long time. Far left: Freshman class officers. Front Row: Sheena Smith, secretary, Mike Goss, treasurer. Row 2: J.G.

Mr. Pharr continued as superintendent with Mrs. Nell Larzelere as secretary. Mr. Steven Johnston also continued as principal for his third year. Mrs. Gail Clary served as secretary for her fifth year at the high school. Some things did change. The school board met the first Monday of each month. It had some new members. The 1983-84 school board was (as shown in picture to the right) Jerry Scholz, Hugh Kinsey, John Smith, Bill Koehler, and Hy- len Rush. Not pictured are Warren Grable, Jr. and Kenny Reder. Students’ attitudes change If anyone should notice the changes at THS, it would have to be the teachers. They are the ones that see the different classes make their journey through high school. The teachers were asked, “What is the biggest change you have noticed in your years of teaching at THS?” THS librarian, Miss Denise Roebkes, replied, “The stu- dent body seems to support athletics better. Also, the students seem to do more reading now.” This was Miss Roebkes’ third year at THS. “Students don't seem to want to work as hard,” was Mrs. Martha Rockey’s response. Mrs. Rockey has taught English and the publication class at THS for 10 years. The other English teacher was Mrs. Babetta Israel. The only change she noticed was the removal of art and foreign language from the curriculum and the raising of graduation requirements. Mrs. Israel has taught at THS for 11 years. Mr. Bill Foster has taught in the science department at THS for 17 years. When asked the question, Mr. Foster stated, The competitive attitude in the area of athletics has shown a big improvement.” In past years, Mr. Fos- ter coached some athletics in the high school and mid- dle school. People 63 As one of the new faculty members, Mr. Mike Nelson replied, “The student body seems to be a fairly tight-knit group and are willing to work for the same goals which brings everything together for an enjoyable experience.” Mr. Nelson is in charge of the music department. “The maintenance of the building, mostly the renovation of the restrooms and the new gym. There is a better principal and the students are just as ornery,” was Mr. James Hundley’s answer. Mr. Hundley was also new to THS. He taught Vo Ag. For 34 years Mrs. Anna Goss has taught Home Economics at THS. Mrs. Goss re- plied, “More course offerings now than before; the curriculum has changed.” “The addition of the new gym and middle school,” was the change that Mr. Fred Folsche noticed. Mr. Folsche taught the industrial arts classes and an algebra class. He has taught at THS for 20 years. Miss Debbie Fitch Teachers see changes Mr. Bruce Reynolds stated, “The everyday atti- tude of the students has improved in the last few years.’’ Mr. Reynolds has taught social sciences at THS for six years. For the past three years, Miss Debbie Fitch taught mathematics at THS. Miss Fitch said that the change at THS she noticed was the graduation requirements, especially in math and science. Mr. Lyle Rockey, Jr. thought that the students are not as willing to work as they used to be. Mr. Rockey teaches the social sciences and is assis- tant basketball coach and is one of the track coaches this year. He has taught at Troy for 14 years. Mr. Dale Whiteside has taught in the business department at THS for 24 years. He noticed the change of the addition of the new gym. People 65 Faculty notices changes For the past three years Miss Jodie Giles has taught physical education. When asked if she noticed any changes at THS she said, “Yes, the gym is warmer.” Mr. Frank Davis also teaches physical education. Fie has been at Troy for eight years. Flis answer to the question was, “I really haven’t noticed a change in the students or the school. Another physical education instructor is Coach Kevin Kelley. Fie has been teaching at TFIS for the last five years. Flis comment was, “The band has improved and we got a new paint job.” The school’s counselor, Severt Anderson, has been at Troy for five years. Fie noticed that the students were more academically oriented. 66 People Staff discusses THS The people that keep THS running smoothly are not only the faculty, but also the cooks, janitors, bus drivers and our new mainten- ance man, Louie Thomas. Most may have noticed Louie as one of the janitors, but this year he became strictly the maintenance man. These people were also asked if they no- ticed a change at Troy High. The cooks noticed that the students were more cooperative, and that most had a bet- ter attitude. Mr. Lyle Rockey, Sr., who has been at THS for five years, commented, “They are com- puterizing things now, and there are more kids out for sports than ever before.” Bus driver Charlie Grable, who has been at Troy for four years said he really didn’t no- tice a change in the school.

He has heard that the high school courses are much different from grade school. The freshman’s schedule is more or less outlined for him. The sophomores and upperclassmen choose a class that interests them or will benefit them in the future. Academics at THS have not changed much over the years, but they have changed some. A foreign lan- guage class is not offered now when it used to be. This year Mr. Foster taught zoology botany. Busi- • ness math and economics were combined to form consumer economics which Mr. Reynolds taught. Mr. Whiteside took on a math course called general math. Miss Fitch taught a three-week course on com- puters in each of her math classes. It seems that this school does offer enough variety of classes. All of the classes touch in some ways a career that interests each of us. It is our responsibility to take the challenge and conquer the classes with the best of our ability. 68 Academics H The theme for the 1983-84 yearbook was “changes. Changes can be found throughout the school, including the math and science department. Computers were used in the math room extensively. Every student enrolled in a math class took a three-week course instructed by Debra Fitch. Miss Fitch felt the computers were a great addition to the school, and should eventually be- come an advantage to all departments.” Mr. Folsche’s Algebra I class was also a change. This was Mr. Folsche’s first year to teach Algebra I, and he liked it. “It’s a lot more fun than general math. I enjoy reviewing and like to work with unknown (x).” Computers new in math class 70 Academics — Top left: Brian Klaus and Bobby Ad- kins watch Ms. Fitch plot an algebra problem on the board.

Science class popular Botany Zoology was a course that had not been taught at THS for several years. This course was offered to juniors and seniors and involved notes, memorization, and dissection. With the popular response, it may be around next year. Mr. Foster taught the course. Academics 71 72 ‘Mock wedding’ at THS The year was a big year for Mrs. Goss and her home economic students. A big change for the students was the “mock wedding” that the family living class put on. The bride was There- sa Simpson and Charles Adkins was the groom. There- sa’s “parents” were Rhonda Dubach and Donnie Huss. Charles’ “parents” were Butch Wendt and Roberta Nel- son. Jill Jarrett was the flower girl, and candlelighter. Marilyn Weber was the maid of honor and the brides- maid was Denise Sutherland. Charles’ best man was Paul Franken, and the groomsman was Greg Ashworth. Mike Thomas was the ringbearer. At the guestbook and in charge of the reception was Carrie Chase. The Home Economics II class make the wedding cakes. Mrs. Goss has been teaching home economics for 35 years. Top left: Wedding party witness big kiss. Top right: Jennifer Scholz and Mike Thomas discuss material. Bottom: Charles Adkins feeds his new bride, Theresa Simpson. Academics Vo Ag has new teacher The year’s biggest change in Vo Ag was the teacher, Mr. Hundley. Jeff Jamvold said, “Since Mr. Hundley has been here, more work seems to get done and each class is involved more.” In industrial arts, the teacher was still Mr. Folsche, but they were still busy. The first year in industrial arts, they make projects and draw plans. In the second year, they usually draw all but maybe one quarter. In the third and fourth years, they work on projects most of the year. Top: Christy Cluck, Michele Rooney, and Denise Miller work on books. Middle: John Klaus thinks over drawing. Bottom: Bobby Franken remembers a forgotten line. Academics 73 Acting class taught Mrs. Martha Rockey and Mrs. Babetta Israel taught the English courses this year. The English classes were American west- erns, science fiction, early English literature, early American literature, modern American literature, research, children’s theater, act- ing, high school vocabulary, and spelling and grammar reviews, as well as the usual classes for underclassmen. Acting had not been taught in five years. Top left: Tim Tharman and Mike Jamvold work vigor- ously on their book reports. Top right: Brenda Peterson writes a note.

Academics 79 C ranees Can you imagine going to a school with no organiza- tions? Wouldn’t THS be boring if you didn’t have some- one botherinq you each day to buy a candy bar or M M’s? Students belong to organizations so they can have a sense of belonging. Memberships in three of our organizations are gained by paying dues. These include Kayettes, FFA, and pep club. Student council members are voted on by their classmates. The teachers vote on membership to the National Flonor Society, and lettering in some activity is the requirement for T-Club. Of course, publications is a class offered to THS students. No matter what the requirement is for being a member of these organizations, the students of THS take pride in them. Each student’s contributions to the organization are what make it a success. In the past year, there have been no changes in any organization. Unfortunately, another thing that has not changed, is that each group continues to sell things year after year. 80 Groups Right, front row: Mrs. Israel, J. Simpson. M. Weber. P. Guy. J. Scholz, T.

Entertainment for the evening was Theresa Simpson doing a humorous solo act and Denise Miller doing a prose reading. The theme was “Chase A Vision, Weave A Dream.” During the year Kayettes did many things for the school and community. Some of their projects were selling candy bars, having a slumber party, and going on a shopping trip. They also had Secret Sisters, visited the nursing home, and cleaned out the trophy case twice during the year. FFA Chapter stays busy The annual FFA Banquet was held May 14. The speaker was Ron Weiniger, the National FFA President. The new officers were installed. They were Paul Gronniger, presi- dent; Tim Hegarty, vice-president; Jeff Jamvold, secretary; Craig Grable, treasurer; Michele Rooney, reporter; and Tim Tharman, sentinel. In November of the 1983-84 school year Lisa Weber was chosen Chapter Sweetheart. Her attendants were Liessa Martinez, first runner-up; and Diana Shelton, second run- ner-up. Janet Thompson and Angie Middleton also partici- pated in the activities. Some members of the chapter attended the District FFA Banquet at Hiawatha. Lisa Weber ran for District Sweet- heart and received an FFA necklace for second runner-up. Kenny Tharman retired his position as treasurer.

They were really spirited this year as the teams went through the seasons, and especially when the boys’ basketball team took state. These two groups did many things for the teams, such as, decorate lockers, gyms, and buses, bake food for them to eat, and give out a new award. This was the Thighsman Award. It went to the man, who was Charles Adkins, with the best thighs. It takes money to do these and other things for the teams so pep club had many money-making pro- jects. They sold M M’s and candy bars, license plates, and spirit buttons, and had numerous bake sales. Groups 87 Organizations keep busy The National Honor Society sponsored a Hi-Q test this year. Any student in the school could try out. Four students were chosen: Paul Gronniger, Julia Simpson, Pam Oyerly, and Carrie Chase: and two alternates, Julie Goss and Ken Tharman. The student council this year sponsored the Homecoming and Queen of Courts dances. They also purchased basketballs and volleyballs for the lunch hours during school. The T-Club held two banquets. The first banquet was for the fall sports. The second one, in the spring, was for basketball and track. 88 Groups Above far left: Some members of Honor Society grade Hi-Q tests.

Groups 89 Seven reach state Each year the publications class, instructed by Martha Rockey, keeps busy putting out nine issues of the Trojan Trumpet and work- ing to get the yearbook put together. The publications students attended the re- gional journalism contest held at Kansas University in Lawrence. Seven students qualified for the KSPA State Journalism Contest. They were Jill Jarrett, Theresa Simpson, Julia Simpson, Carrie Chase, Charles Adkins, Janet Thompson, and Tina Adkins. Jill Jarrett received third place at state in the cutline competition. Most of the publications class attended Communications Day at Missouri Western State College. Christine Kraft was the guest speaker. She talked about her recent trial about sex discrimination. The class raised money by selling M M’s, items from Lincoln House, and remaining items from 1983. 90 Journalists inducted To be a member of Quill and Scroll you must be exceptional in at least one phase of journalism.

Thus far, the climb up the ladder had been successful. There were only three steps left to the top. Needless to say, the Trojans were not ranked all year, but with a 22-0 record, they traveled to the state tour- nament for the second year in a row. It all began when the Trojans completed the first step up the ladder by defeating the Raiders of Central-Bur- den, 51-49. Troy fell behind in the first quarter and didn’t take the lead again until 18 seconds were left in the game. Rob Karn made a basket and was fouled on the shot. Under pressure, Karn sank the free throw. The Trojans went on to win the first round. The next step of the ladder was just as exciting. This round Troy was matched up against Oswego. All four quarters of play were a struggle. With 18 seconds left, Oswego was 46-45, and their best free-throw shooter was at the line. The free throw was missed and the Trojans brought the ball down the court. With 10 sec- onds left, Ron Shelton put up the game-winning shot from the top of the key. It was after this 47-46 victory that the Trojans acquired the nickname the “cardiac kids.” Top: THS cheerleaders prepare to fire up the student body and fans.

They had to beat Quinter to reach the top of the ladder. The Trojans trailed by two points at halftime and immediately took a 43-33 lead. The game went into overtime tied at 66; and for the first time in THS history, they won the state championship, 76-74. The Trojans were the second team in the tournament’s 76- year history to be undefeated champions. Other records that they broke in their class are (1) the highest total score for both teams, (2) the highest winning score, (3) most fouls for a winning team, and (4) most fouls for both teams. Don Huss, Rob Karn, and Doug Meng received individual honors. Don Huss was the third-leading scorer in the tourna- ment by scoring 42 points. Doug Meng and Rob Karn re- ceived fifth-and sixth-place honors by scoring 34 and 32 points, respectively. Of course the moments after the game were only the begin- ning of the celebration. The Trojans received a police escort from the county line to Troy where a pep rally was held at 1:30 A.M. The Trojans received many write-ups in the local newspapers. They received recognition at the Mini-Opry and the Capitol Building in Topeka. They also attended dinners put on by the Lions Club and the First Baptist Church. The booster club had a dinner at the armory. They also made permanent signs. Who could forget the roar of the crowd when Rob Karn dunked the ball or the final-second shots that brought victo- ry? The Trojans did not have one hero; they were all heroes. It was the intensity of these 12 young men and two coaches that gave a small town something to talk about for years to come.

The town of Troy had many changes in its busin- esses. Charley’s Feed Grain, and Pe- den’s expanded. Myers Farm Supply moved to the old lumber- yard. Robert Guier sold his ab- stract firm to Euler Euler and joined them. Knapp’s Supermar- ket changed its name to John’s Market. Steve Tetlow is the new owner of the Kansas Chief. Travis Lucas is the new owner of DX Performance Shop. Alan M. Boeh and Robert Reeder joined together and formed Reeder Boeh Attorneys.
