GREETINGS TO THE CLASS OF 1939 It is with pleasure that the School Board greets the Class of 1939. The integrity, dependability, and loyalty of each graduating class stimulates a greater community demand for a better and a larger school system. More people than ever before take a keener and more critical interest in the operation and the future development of our school. Our schools are conducted for more than the citizens of Troy Borough School Districtg they have lor many years served as an educational center for a great part of Western Bradford County. In less than a generation the graduating classes have increased in numbers more than seven hundred per cent. Our school needs the sincere co-operation of every alumni to pre- serve the spirit that has been shown in its welfare and its progress since the first class was graduated in 1871. All graduates of our school are urged to feel that they are members 'oi' a Public Relations Committee with the aims and ambitions of Troy High at heart, ready to support, to aid by giving constructive criticism, and to protect when destructive fallacies are proposed. You, the Class of 1939, have seen many changes in Troy High during the years spent under its jurisdiction, your imagination may be able to visualize what will be the school system twelve years from now. We hope it will be the last word in efficiency and service. NOTE: The message above was written by Mr. Wilson Weigester, vice-presi- dent of the Board of Education. The Board's message to the Class' of 1938 in their yearbook last year was written by Mr. Guy Rockwell, president of the Board of Education. BOARD OF EDUCATION

, e New wi T sf- W. R. CROMAN Supervising Principal TO THE CLASS OF 1939: The telephone, the automobile, the radio, good roads, and rural elec- trification are developing a rural life outstanding as a mode of living. These modern inventions, together with common desires within the community for social, industrial, and educational advantages, are the cause of emerging social units throughout the rural areas of our land. These emerging social units have a strong background of fundamental American democracy. They have a strong background of industrious- ness, honesty, and purposefulness of life. These units are larger than the immediate neighborhood. They are composed of small boroughs and townships. The central high school with its library, auditorium, and various activities serves the common interests, serves as a common meeting place. Four years ago, as boys and girls of such a community, you came to Troy High School, now, as young men and young women, you are about to leave. We let you go into the uncertain days that lie ahead, confident of your success and happiness-confident that you will do your part to guide and weld our community into a friendlier, happier, more pros- perous, more Christian social force. W. R. Croman
