Class Will We, the senior class of l95l, being of sound mind, leave the following last will and testament: To Mr. Crumbling, we leave all the broken test tubes and a new group of would-be chemistry students.

We have accumulated certain assets in the way of associations. and mernoriesg which we are compelled to leave behind. We will dispose of them in the following manner: Dorothy Hickok's ability to get along with Miss Lyon we leave to any for- tunate person. June Smith leaves her ability to sleep in P. O. D. class to Ardythe Vaughan. Robert Hettich's fluency in English and ability on the speaking platform, we leave to Victor Woodward.

Class History September of i947 found ll7 Green Freshmen wandering through the unfamiliar halls of Troy High School. Many of us were seeing each other for the first time. ln the few weeks that we had become acquainted with each other, we elected Alan Pomeroy, President, Eddie Merritt, Vice-President, Donna Congdon- Secretary, and Elizabeth Meikle, Treasurer. ' Our first big social event was the Freshmen Reception. In front of a large crowd of upper- classmen, we went through our unrehearsed stunts. After that we did not feel as Green Freshmen, but as welcome students of T.H.S, In September of i948 we entered Troy High School as eager Sophomores. As we were ac- quainted with the school, we entered into the full swing of various activities. We wisely elected Robert Bachman, President, Marilyn Teeter, Vice-President, Wilber Slocum, Secre- tary, and Eddie Merritt, Treasurer. Our gala event of this year was our Sopho- more Hop. The girls donned gingham dresses and sunbonnets, and the boys donned overalls and plaid shirts. Did we have fun! Thus our second year as loyal students of T. H. S. came to a happy close. ln September of i949 we returned as Jolly Juniors ready to join in the various activities. We elected Eddie Merritt, President, Wilber 1 Slocum, Vice-President, Donna Congdon, Secre- tary, and Dean Wagner, Treasurer. During the year we had class dues and noon-hour dances to prepare for our big social event of the year, the formal Junior Prom. Our gym was beautifully decorated in blue and gold with Ray Peterson's orchestra pro- viding the music for our dreamy night of danc- ing and entertainment. At the heavenly affair King Raymond Slingerland and Queen Shirley Lyon were crowned by King Frank Dewitt and Queen Beverly Hewitt of the preceding year. ln September of i950 we reached the long desired rank of seniors, our class only having eighty-five of its members left. We used our increased knowledge in electing Duane Brown, President, Franklin Morgan, Vice-President, Raymond Slingerland, Secretary, and George Page, Jr., Treasurer. Our Senior ploy: Out of the Frying Pan, under the capable direction of Mr. George Griffith was a great success. We presented it four nights. Hitting over the ,goal of last year's Curtis Campaign was also proved to be a great success in our selling magazines. Graduation night will bring an end to four happy years at Troy High School. After we return from our Washington Trip many of us will be going on our way to practice the knowledge that we have acquired at our dear school, T. H. S.
