To Troy High we lift our voices As onward toward life we go. May we keep our mem'ries of her Ever fresh in joy or woe. fCho1'usJ We, the class of thirty-nine, Sing Troy's praises loud and long, May she grow in strength and fame, Spreading far her honored name. 2. Friendships formed we'll long remember As we press on toward our goal. May we keep them warm and tender As the years forever roll. 3. As our years with her are ending And we now must say adieu, Saddened hearts keep beating bravely While we think of days we knew.

Evan Williams President CLASS OFI939 TO MY CLASSMATES: Life is real! Life is earnest! And the grave is not its goal, Dust thou art. to dust retuinest, Was not spoken of the soul. These Words of Longfellow, published in 1838, still ring out for us a challenge, to accept and to conquer. Here in high school we have faithfully conducted our studies. eagerly pursued our athletics, and, likewise, in organizations and clubs, grasped at opportunity to make us better men and women. Though not yet mature in mind or body, we know that, while inher- itance and environment may determine much in our lives, the greatest amount of contentment. satisfaction, and security usually comes to those persons who are willing to assume life's responsibilities. This fact is cause enough for us to make the most of our opportunities. We realize, of course, that it would be impossible to attain any degree of perfection in school or in work were it not for the instruc- tive guidance of our teachers. To them we can but utter simple words of gratitude for assistance which we can never repay. Fellow classmates, after this year, we meet, not as , students of Troy High School, but as men and women A determined to do the right as our living and our train- V- K X ing have taught us to know the right. I 9 ll 5 . I I K Faithfully yours, Troy, Pennsylvania Evan Williams, Jr. April the twelfth
