Making cupcakes for students in the entire school is one of the few things Heather Hinds and Angie Sigrist helped to do in Home Ec II. Scott Reder prices merchandise while he works at John’s Market during work study. Students have opportunity to work Everybody’s working for the weekend! That’s exactly what seven seniors decided to do this year. That is, they decided to become part of the work- study program offered by the high school. Danny Clary and Scott Reder worked at John’s Market dur- ing the first two hours of the day. “1 really like work study be- cause there weren’t any classes left that I wanted to take and this gives me some extra spending money plus valuable job experience,” Scott commented. Chad Swavey worked for Paul Dittemore’s Construc- tion, and Kevin Traster worked for Ray Whitten Sign Company in St. Joseph. Gail Cluck worked at the Library District 1 in Troy. Becky Clary and Jonnette Smith both had jobs in St. Joseph. Becky first started out working at Countryside Animal Clinic but later got a job at the Ground Round as a waitress. “1 think that work study is a very good experience be- cause it puts you into the real world and I think it’s good for kids to have their own mon- ey,” Becky said. Jonnette shared her views about working at Venture Discount Store. “Working there has been fun and 1 get to see a lot of peo- ple. I’ve met relatives that I didn’t even know I had. It can be hectic with school and work, though.” Photography by Gary Huff, Kelli Moore, and Elaine Johnson Htugg

Department gets two new teachers Musicians do well Receiving a I rating at state competition brought great joy to the flute trio and their in- structor, Miss Stacy Miller. The trio, consisting of Janet Tharman, Martina Rooney, and Amy Carlson, traveled to McPherson College to com- pete in the competition. They performed the song “Aubade.” Both the band and chorus de- partments had new instruc- tors, both first-year teachers. Miss Stacy Miller was the band instructor and Miss Judy Spunaugle taught cho- rus. This was the first time in a number of years that both teachers in the music depart- ment were new to Troy High School. Band had a very fruitful year performing an opening con- cert at the beginning of the year and then attending both state and league contests. They were awarded a I at the league level and a II at the state level. Chorus also had a good year starting out with an opening concert of their own and also attending the league and state competitions. This year was the first time for the band in many years that they had a marching band. The band performed in the annual Halloween parade and played at basketball and football games throughout the year. It also played up- town on the square and at pep rallies. Staying with the traditions of Troy High, the band and cho- rus performed a Christmas concert and concerts at the end of the school year. They saw the seniors off at grad- uation with the final concert, in which the band played “Pomp and Circumstance” as the seniors marched in, and then the senior band per- formed “Flurry for Winds and Percussion.” Class val- edictorian, Janet Tharman, performed a flute solo and the chorus performed, “Walk Tall.” “Wipeout” was one of the popular songs the chorus performed this year. The band members this year were, front row; P. Hinds, J. McNemee, R. Johnson, T. Franken, P. Johnson. Row 2: S. Trant, T. Norris, R. Fran- cis, K. Moore, J. Tharman, M. Rooney, W. Clark, A.
