• • 4 TROY HIGH SCHOOL TROY, KS. 66087 Volume 73 Published by Publications Class Challenges are a part of every student’s life. No matter how simple the task or how tough the struggle, each challenge undertaken becomes a stepping stone towards the future. Being a student seems to be one of the major challenges in life. Although it may sound minor, there are many areas of school life that promote challenges. Through activities, sports, academics, and even their own classmates, students will face challenges that affect them for the rest of their life. Deanna Winzer, Copy Editor Diana Shelton, Layout Editor 4 Student Life Challenges worldwide Not only students were challenged during the school year, but many individuals throughout the world were also challenged. President Ronald Reagan was challenged for his place as President of the United States. Once again, he and Vice-President George Bush overtook their rivals. The campaign was an exciting challenge for those who supported Jesse Jackson, the first black to run for the presidency, and for those who were for Democrat Walter Mondale and his running mate, Geraldine Ferraro, the first woman to run for vice- president. Athletes from many countries competed against each other at the 1984 Olympics held in Los An- geles, California. All the competitors were chal- lenged, not only by their actual events, but also by the earlier contests that they won to be in the Olym- pics. Several of the members of the U.S. Olympic team who successfully met the challenge of competi- tion were Mary Lou Retton, gold medalist for gym- nastics overall, and the players on the men's volley- ball team. Many well-known singers got together and formed the group, “USA for Africa.” They produced an al- bum to raise money to help the starving people in Ethiopia. The major song on the record was “We Are the World.” Student Life 5 Student life is not all tests and homework. There can also be fun along with the work. Even so, there are still some students who will compare school to a prison, even though there are many differences in our school from a prison. One difference is that of clothing. Not too many “zebra outfits” are seen worn. Students can wear whatever they want, within reason, of course. They are not forced to wear uniforms or to dress all alike, so students’ clothing reflects individuality and shows the styles of the present year. One addition in style this year was that of florescent clothing. Brightly colored shirts of pink, yellow, and other colors were seen from a mile away from the school. (Well, maybe not that far.) Leather or plastic parachute pants were also new in the clothing department. So was the cropped style of pants. Whether it was jeans, leather pants, or dress slacks, several girls were letting their ankles show. Jeans were definitely still the most pop- ular form of wear for either gender. Levi’s and Lee’s were often seen, worn in a variety of forms. There were pre-shrunk, shrink-to-fit, pleated, striped, faded, and even checkered. Denim was also popular with jackets, and was the type worn by several girls and a few guys. Another difference is the style of the hair that the students wore. A new style of haircut was that of “getting the ears cut out.” It sounds horrid, but it means to have the hair cut above the ears; often the back was left long. Besides all of the above differences, a major one is left. It is that of activities. There are many activities in our school that a student can become involved with, including FFA, Kayettes, pep club, speech and the one-act play, the all-school play, and several forms of sports. These activities help a student to make new friends, add fun to the school year, and give a student a different outlook about school life, rather than that of prison.

Left: Part of the track team watches fellow mem- bers participate at a meet. School activities produced many challenges for students, involving a variety of events throughout the year. The challenges may have been those of competition, as in that of the speech team or one-act play attending speech meets. Barnwarming also proved to be competitive among the junior girls, as they dis- played their skills to get FFA Sweetheart. Although the students in the all-school play did not compete like the speech team, they were still faced with the challenge of acting in front of several audiences. The members of the stage crew were also challenged by their individual jobs and responsibilities. The candidates and escorts at Flomecoming and Queen of Courts were challenged by their chance of winning queen and head escort. It was the same situation for those involved in the Mr. Irresistible cere- mony. Also challenged by their attempts to win were the players, in the football team, the basketball team, and the seniors and faculty members, in the games in which they played. Prom is always a challenge for everyone involved. It may be that of finding the right date or making it home in time the next morning, if at all. The juniors faced the challenge of raising money for the prom, deciding where, when, and how to have it, and the attempt to keep all the minor details secret from the seniors. All of these activities confront involved students with challenges, but graduation seems to be the beginning of the greatest challenge of all. It is the final challenge in high school and a new start in life for students. Whether it is plans for college, a job, marriage, or other, any choice will be the start of more challenges to come in a student’s life. i Lisa crowned Queen Lisa Weber was crowned Homecoming Queen by head escort, Roger Whetstine, during the pre-game ceremonies October 12. Lisa’s attendants were An- gela Middleton, Diana Shelton, Janet Thompson, and Deanna Winzer. Each candidate received a rose and a kiss from their escorts, Sam Adkins, David Clary, Jay Cluck, and Paul Gronniger. Crown and gift bearers were Lindsey Rosenburger, Kami Barnthson, Aaron Davies, and Kirk Jamvold. After the crowning, the Trojans defeated Kansas School for the Deaf, 30-8. “All Through the Night” was the theme for the evening as the Trojans danced to music provided by DJ Russ Patton.

The juniors decided to hold prom in St. Joe again, but at the Swiss Chalet this year. Mr. Harter was the speaker for the evening. He told jokes about the students, the faculty, and the school board members. He mentioned that prom was a very special time to be remembered. He commented on how the times have changed through the years. After the banquet, pictures were taken outside in front of the fireplace by Mr. Walt Anderson. A dance followed the banquet.

Each class faces challenges every year that they are in high school. Some have become almost traditions. The freshmen have to get used to a new school, the sophomores struggle through biology, the juniors run the concession stand to make money for the junior-senior prom, and the seniors work to- wards graduation, the beginning of a new challenge, “life after high school.” Students are not the only people in high school who are challenged daily. The faculty and staff are too. Often it is a student that is the major challenge of a teacher. 32 People Challenges are faced This was the last year for hustling to get that government term paper done, and getting up extra early to get ready for school. Making the effort, that is what school is all about. As the seniors go on to new challenges they will need the things that school has taught them to make life easier later on. Tastes change but the seniors of 1985 were a very diverse group; only two people agreed on their favorite song, which was “Comfortably Numb” by Pink Floyd. KY102 and KCI 106.5 were two radio stations that most of the kids enjoyed, though some students preferred country music over rock. School lunch was a part of the day for most of the senior class. The favorite meal among the students was pizza. Nike brand tennis shoes were ex- tremely popular too. Television shows like “Family Ties,” “Friday Fright Night,” and “Saturday Night Live” were shows popular among the seniors. For fund raising the seniors sold magazines to raise money for their senior trip. T.V. GUIDE was the most popular magazine sold, followed by BETTER HOMES AND GARDENS. Top salesperson was Lisa Johnson, selling 34 magazine subscriptions. Lisa Weber followed by selling 23 subscriptions. Prizes, including posters, candy bars, Trojan mugs, and to the top salesper- son a telephone-clock radio, were awarded for selling a certain number of subscriptions. Jeffery S.

In September the juniors chose their class rings from Jostens. A survey taken by the publications class showed favorites among the juniors. 106.5 was selected as favorite radio station with ZZ99 and KY-102 close behind. Joey Cluck Mary Etherton Bobby Franken Ratt, Loverboy, Bruce Springstein, and Men at Work proved to be the favorite groups. Favorite songs were Hard Habit to Break” by Chicago and Round and Round by Ratt. “Hardcastle and McCormick” and “Hill Street Blues were the top TV shows. Among the top movies were Wild Life” and “Revenge of the Nerds”. Nike was the most popular brand of sneak- ers. The top school lunches were pizza and ta- cos. Right: The class officers.

They all encountered biology with Mr. Foster; to many this was the biggest challenge. Yeast cultures, plant books, and chapter tests brought new meanings to the word school work. Many sophomores participated in the school play and sports, and three sophomores made the HiQ team. The past year the sophomores decided on their favorite movies. “Karate Kid” and “Ghostbusters” were the most popular. “Chicago” fans dominated the sophomore class. “Hard Habit to Break” was their favorite song, and Chicago” ranked as the best group. The soap opera “Dallas” rated number one in the race with “Knots Landing” a close second as the favorite show. The radio station KZZC FM 99 was the most popular radio station, receiving 68.8% of the sophomore vote. Nike brand tennis shoes were the favorite by far. The sophomores were led through the school year with J.G. Koehler as president, Shelbe Theis as vice-president, Sheena Smith as secretary, and Pat Franken as treasurer. Miss Denise Roebkes sponsored the sophomore class. Miss Roebkes was glad to have sponsored this group of kids and had this to say, “They seem to be a responsible class, and things seem to be getting done.” Right: Tammy Benitz shows school spirit on Tourist Day.

All students are relieved when the challenge of their freshman year is overcome. This year’s freshmen sold Tom-Watt merchandise for a money-making project. They also had a hayrack ride. The class had many things in common. Most of them liked pizza, and Nike proved to be their favorite brand of shoes. ZZ99 was the most listened to radio station, Van Halen was their favorite group, and the class’s favorite song was “A Hard Habit to Break.” “Ghostbusters” was their favorite movie. When they watched television, many of them watched “Call to Glory.

People 45 School enforces rule The school board at THS has made it tougher on ineligi- ble athletes. Ineligible athletes must now report after school to do the work instead of practice. This has affected several student athletes. The school board consisted of Jerry Scholz, Bill Koehler, Hylen Rush, John Smith, Warren Grable, Hugh Kinsey, and Kenny Reder. Bill Koehler served as presi- dent. Opposite page, upper left: Mr. Pharr continues his duties as superin- tendent.

Teaching a challenge Teaching was a challenge at THS and who would have known this better than the teachers. For the fourth year, Miss Denise Roebkes was the librarian at THS. This can be a challenge because students have many various needs when it comes to reading materials. Mr. Scott Miller and Mr. Michael Gerhardt were the music instructors at THS. Mr. Miller was the chorus director and Mr. Gerhardt was the band director. Both teachers may have found their jobs challenging because it was the first year of teach- ing for them at THS. Mrs. Anna Goss has met the challenges of her job at THS for 35 years. Mrs. Goss was the home economics teacher. She taught Home Ec I, II, and III, and also a family living class for seniors. Mr. Bill Foster has taught at THS for 18 years. His classes included earth science, biology, chemis- try, and physics. Mr. Fred Folsche and Mr. Dale Whiteside have taught at THS for 21 and 25 years respectively. Mr. Folsche taught Industrial Arts I - IV and he also taught an Algebra I class. Mr. Whiteside taught business classes which included general business, typing, and accounting. Miss Fitch has taught at THS for four years. She taught in the mathematics department which of- fered general math, Algebra I and II, geometry, senior math, and computers. She also coached the volleyball team.

Mr. Foster coached the cross country squad; Mr. Reynolds, Mr. Anderson, Mr. Cash, and Mr. Davis coached the football team. Miss Debbie Fitch for the third year directed the volleyball team. Miss Davidson was the new girls’ basketball coach and was assisted by Mr. Scott Miller. Coaches Kelley and Rockey again coached the boys’ basketball team. Mr. Rockey also directed the track team, assisted by Miss Davidson. The newest edition to the coaching staff, Miss Davidson, hoped to turn the girls’ basketball team into a winning team. Miss Davidson was born and raised in Hebron, Nebraska. When she graduated from high school she went to play basketball for Tarkio College in Missouri where she received her teaching degree in physical education. People 51 Academics is like a volcano on the island of school, erupting with such a burst of challenges, it reaches every student. Each student is challenged by the dreaded four-letter word that appears at one time or another in every student’s life. It is — the test.” The challenges do not stop at tests, though. Daily assignments can be just as challenging. There are also students who exceed those chal- lenges, winning awards for scholarship tests they have taken, like the Emporia State, or at contests they may attend, such as the Missouri Western Che- mathon. Other high achievements in the academic area are that of valedictorian and salutatorian, the American Legion Awards, and the Kansas Board of Regents Scholar Award. Whether it’s for awards or tests, academic chal- lenges must be met if students want to graduate. Top left: Angie Middleton gives the smile of approval.

Nine-week’s classes like research, poetry, modern English literature, and advanced grammar were some of the hardest of all. These classes were taught by Mrs. Babetta Israel and Mrs. Martha-Jean Rockey. Mrs. Israel also taught a new year-long class called study skills. Since computers are becoming a large part of everyday life, a full-time computer class was offered. Thirteen students signed up for the class, which was taught by Miss Debbie Fitch. Mr. Dale Whiteside sponsored a crafts class for people who were not in the special ensemble. The students had a choice of painting, cross-stitching, and working with leather.

These were both taught by Mr. Lyle Rockey. In science the school took out botany and zoology for this year. Academics 57 Mrs. Goss’s family living and Home Economics II classes had a memorable year. Family living went on a field trip to the Pozez Educational Center in the Stormont-Vail Regional Medical Center. A Youth Conference, sponsored by the March of Dimes, was held so people could talk to parents and their children who were born with birth defects. The class also went to the Home Show in Bartle Hall. The Home Ec. II class visited the Scheutz Locker Plant for meat-cutting demonstrations. Mrs. Goss reported that this was the first year ever not to have a Home Ec. Ill class. Mr. Whiteside visited Mr. Davis’s health class and brought a baby lamb which had been overcome by tetanus. 58 Adademics Opposite page, top left: Julie Smith sews the gar- ment she made as a requirement in Home Ec.

Academics 61 Special awards given Awards night was held in the old Troy High School Gymna- sium May 9, 1985. All the seats were filled with anxious students, parents, grandparents, friends, and relatives. Many different award categories were observed and stu- dents given credit for being outstanding in the different areas. Perfect attendance for the year was given to several peo- ple but the only senior was Jeff Jamvold. Four juniors were admitted into the National Honor Soci- ety. They were Bobby Franken, Jenny Herpich, Pam Guy, and Jennifer Scholz. The new members for Quill and Scroll were Diana Shelton, Liessa Martinez, Pam Guy, and Jennifer Scholz. George Wykert attended the Highland College Business Contest held at the college. He got second in accounting. He was the only person who received a place from Troy. Mr. Anderson presented Mr. Dale Whiteside a special award, thanking him for the 25 years of service to Troy High School. He gave this on behalf of the faculty, staff, and students of Troy. KSHSAA gave the Distinguished Scholastic Achievement Award. This was a new award given to the organizations of Troy High with a grade point average of 3.25 or higher. Four organizations received the honors for the 1984-85 school year. They were the volleyball team, cross country team, the student council, and the cheerleading squad. The cheerleaders came out on top with an average of 3.598. Mr. Foster had two students receiving exceptional science awards. Paul Gronniger was the outstanding math and science student for the year. Theresa Wood received a variety of awards for her participation in the MWSC fair. Roger Whetstine received the Keller Award for the most tackles in the 1984-85 football season. Miss Denise Davidson put Lisa Weber’s name on a plaque for having the most points and the most free throws in a season.

Different groups produce different amounts of challenges. In FFA, the members are often challenged, attending speech contests, live- stock judging, and many other activities. The stu- dents in the publications class are challenged each month as they put together the TRUMPET. They are also challenged throughout the year as the pages of the TROJAN are slowly made to form the school’s yearbook. Kayettes, pep club mem- bers, and the cheerleaders are also involved in many challenging activities. In other groups, the challenge is not what students do once they are in the club, but how they get in it. In T-Club, for example, it is not only the activities of the club that challenge a student, but is also the challenge of earning a letter to be able to join. It is the same with other groups, like the National Hon- or Society and Quill and Scroll. No matter how much of a challenge a student receives from a club, each membership adds an extra challenge to a student’s life at school. 64 Groups Class keeps busy This year the publications’ staff was busy working on the nine issues of the Trojan Trumpet and putting the yearbook together. The staff was under the direction of Martha-Jean Rockey. In February, the publications’ class attended the regional journalism contest held at Kansas University in Lawrence. Five students qualified for the KSPA State Journalism Con- test. The students and the events they placed in were Angela Middle- ton, newswriting; Diana Shelton, yearbook layout; Deanna Winzer, editing; Liessa Martinez, advertis- ing; and Paula Smith, feature writ- ing. No one placed at state contest in March. The publications’ students also went to Communications’ Day at Missouri Western State College. Ar- thur Brisbane was the guest speak- er. He talked about his job as a newsman writing for a big newspa- per. 2 09 To be chosen as members of Quill and Scroll, students must be of ju- nior or senior classification. They must be in the upper third of their class in general scholastic standing, either for the year of their election or for cumulative total of all their high school work. They also must have done superior work in some phase of journalism, such as writing, edit- ing, business, management, or pro- duction.

During the summer, the cheerleaders attended a camp to learn new cheers and routines. The pep club and cheerleaders attended a spirit clinic to get ideas for spirit in the school. One skit performed was the Olympic obstacle course. People from each class had to race each other. They had to do cartwheels and somersaults, then build a pyramid at the end. The junior class won.

This year the T-Club also sponsored an alumni bas- ketball game for the graduates of Troy High School from 1950 to 1984, March 23 and 24. The games were played both days with each loser being eliminated until the final two remained for the championship. The class of 1984 won the tourna- ment and became champs for the second year in a row, having won the State Championship in 1984. The student council sponsored many activities throughout the year. The Homecoming and Queen of Courts dances were held by Stuco. They also pur- chased a new microwave oven this year for the stu- dents to use. Groups Opposite page, top: Front row: J. Cluck, B. Klaus.

Groups 77 Victory is the major challenge in sports. Although this challenge was not always met, the attempts were challenges in themselves. Accomplishing the challenge of making a touch-down in a football game, spiking the ball over the net in a volleyball match, beating a record at a cross country or track meet, or being the high-scorer or rebounder of a basketball game was just as important to the individual student as the challenge of winning as a team. These are only a few examples of the many chal- lenges that a student was confronted with as a member of a team in each sport. 80 Trojans tackle The word challenge was very fa- miliar to the 1984 Trojan football team. After losing all their start- ers on offense and defense, the Trojans faced a year of rebuilding and challenge. After being defeated by McLouth in the first game, 38-12, it looked like it might be a long season. But in the next game, Troy traveled to Pleasant Ridge to face the Rams. Troy brought home a victory, de- feating the Rams 28-8. Troy then fell into a scoring slump being un- able to score in games against Horton, Oskaloosa, and Jackson Heights. Troy erupted in their Homecom- ing contest, scoring 31 points against KSD; they defeated the Jackrabbits 31-6. The Trojans’ next game was a district contest against Wathena. The Trojans won with a dramatic overtime victory. The Trojans were now after the district crown as they traveled to Winchester to face JCN. Roger Whetstine broke loose for an 86- yard touchdown. Whetstine also added the conversion. Troy went into the locker room with an 8-6 lead. When the teams came out of the locker room, it looked like an upset was in the making. But the opponent’s offense exploded and went on to defeat Troy 8-28. Troy’s offense averaged 11.4 points. The defense gave up an average of 16 points a game. The team finished with a record of 3- 5, and the challenge of bettering it next year. Top: Roger Whetstine tackles opponent. Middle: Bryan Adkins receives the kick.

Sports 83 Girls spike it The Lady Trojans worked hard and had a lot of spirit during the season. They learned how to work together as a team and get along. The varsity record was 4-18 and the junior varsity record was 2-5. This doesn’t show it but the girls played really well at times and cared about the game, team had the disad- vantage of only having two home games and one senior. At the end of the season Miss Fitch commented, “I was very pleased with the way the girls played. It was a great accomplishment for them to play so well as a team. They are young but they really showed prom- ise. I am already looking forward to next year. Far top left: Lisa Johnson and Karen Thomas warm up before the game.

Sports 85 Team challenged The Troy High School boys’ basketball season was like a roller coaster. They seemed to play excellently one game, then not as well the next game. The varsity team featured five new start- ers. They finished with a 9-12 record. The junior varsity finished their season at 7-7. For the first time in a long time, Troy had a freshman team. The boys faced a season of adversity, and looked to the challenge of a better season next year. When the boys were playing right, they were a team to be reckoned with. The team started the season with a 66-33 vic- tory over the Wathena Wildcats in the first round of the Delaware Valley League Tournament. In the next game, the Tro- jans were defeated by Jefferson County North, 41-45. The Trojans defeated Pleasant Ridge the next night, 48-41. One game in which the Trojans showed much promise, was the Midway game played at Midway. The Trojans won 71-40. Another impressive victory came against High- land; Troy won, 58-47. TROY OPP.

They didn’t win any league games but they came very close several times. Liessa Martinez commented, “Everybody worked real hard. Next year I’m sure they’ll have something to show for all the hard work.’’ Queen of Courts was maybe the most exciting game the girls played. At halftime the score was 10-15. The ladies came out the second half and put pressure on the Eagles. With just a few seconds remaining Troy was only one point behind. They ended up losing the game by three points. Parents’ night was a special evening for the senior players on the team. They were each presented four long-stemmed roses and a hand shake from Miss Davidson. “The roses were a nice gift from the team and Miss Davidson. It was a pleasant way to end my senior year,” Lisa Johnson replied. The girls ended the season 0-21. Lisa Weber commented, “The season flew by and although we didn’t win any games we had a lot of fun. I felt our team was very unified.” ¥ I Top left: Jackie Herpich anticipates the pass.
