Senior Class ijistorp On September 3, 1923, from various places were gathered twenty-nine studious bovs and girls to be found together by the class ties of Coolville High School. Of course, as Freshmen, we were subject to many loving attentions purposely derived for demonstrating to us the superior wisdom of those who had traveled the road ahead of us. By the help of our faithful leader, Mr. Paynter, we successfully reached the top of the first hill. But manv seemel weary and did not meet us in the fall of ’24 to journey up the second slope. However, those who were present spent an enjoyable and profitable year. ... . . . Upon meeting to start our Junior year we found that nineteen faithful members were still willing to share in the joys, sorrows, smiles, and tears of high school life. The top of the third hill was reached with success and happiness, and all were eager to accomplish the same the following year. At the beginning of our fourth year we were rewarded for our faithfulness by being allowed to finish our journey in a beautiful new building known as Troy Township School, so that henceforth our Alma Mater is known as Troy High School. We chose a new leader, Miss Evans, to help us when the road seemed rough. As Seniors we began to take a serious view of school life. The goal was looming in view and we did not want to miss it. Nineteen members were present, and we went to work. But, oh, the fickleness of human minds. When the year was about half done, one of our number, having decided that she preferred a husband to a diploma, left us. Now there are just eighteen left to finish the race. However, we feel that we shall be rewarded when we at last reach the top of the fourth, and steepest, hill and our leader grants a rest. 14 19 2 7 THE THALIA Class $ropfjecp Lounging comfortably in a hummock under a large shade tree one afternoon, I wan thinking of the senior class, and wondering what the future held for each. I had, lying on the ground around the hammock, the gifts and tokens from different members of the class. After a while I looked toward the road, and behold. I saw a gypsy fortune teller coming toward me. I had heard of her many times, but did not know that she and her tribe were going through our part of the country at this time, or I certainly should have gone to her before. And now. here she came this great gypsy! The first thing she said when she drew near me was, “Let me tell you their future. You have, indeed, a remarkable class.” And I, of course, immediately consented. She bade me bring to her the handkerchiefs that I had in a box lying on the ground by the hammock those which had been given me by the members of the class. She said that each handkerchief would reveal the personality of the giver. The fortune teller was seated in a chair, in front of me. I handed her the handkerchiefs, and. as she pressed each one to her forehead, she seemed to peer far into future years. The first handkerchief was a large white one with “D“ in the corner. As she pressed it to her forehead, she said, “Behold. 1 see your president, yea, even as to-day in all his dignity and majestic bearing, and his words are heeded in that day and generation even as you, the class of 1927, heeded them. His ambitions have led him ever upward and onward until he is now governor of his own native state. Taking the next one. a large white one with a blue border, she said, I see a school of learning, and before his class a noble professor. The class looks at him in reverence, not a little amazed at the vast store of learning he acquired in Troy High School. Listen, what is it they call him? Professor Watkins.” This time as she pressed a tan silk kerchief to her forehead, she exclaimed, “Ah. I see a rich man a banker-riding in his aeroplane, wearing his diamonds, counting his money and spending it lavishly, too. Surely you must recall Ted New-land.” There were, indeed, many kinds of handkerchiefs; and, ns she continued, she looked through each one as she had with the first ones. “Now, I see a lady, fearless and brave. She possesses a strong mind, strong will, and stronger temper. She lectures on subject that calls for deep convictions—'Woman's Rights.' She is a spinster of uncertain age. Her name escapes me—ah ! now I have it—Myrta Nestor. “Aguin I see a woman —oh, I feel like crying. This woman is in deep sorrow and grief. Surely she is a lonely widow mourning her husband. No, no. 'tis only a fair bride grieving over the loss of her pet poodle. But who is the bride? Ah. her name once was Susan Foster. “Now I see in the next ten years a young woman, one of your famous basketball stars in 1927. She is, indeed, still famous, but now in the field of tennis. She has traveled abroad. Her name goes before her: and Helen Wills’s name take second place beside that of Edna Nestor. “Next before me stands one who still knows the joys of ‘single blessedness.’ Her whole soul is in her work : hence Edith Dunfee is happy, and a very successful English teacher at Ohio State University. “The years roll on. and the doors of congress open before me no, not to admit me as a member, but only as a visitor and as I look around, I see two more of your classmates: for Nellie Kinnen and Teddy Kincaid have won names for themselves, and written into our statute books are laws introduced and upheld by them. “But this time the scene changes. Passengers are boarding a ship hound for Europe. Fortune has smiled upon another, and at last she is to visit Venice and Florence. Paris and Dresden, and revel in art to her heart’s content. I see her boarding the ship, and there on the register she signs her name as Hazel Bloomer. This time I see a famous poet who in her high school days dreamed of what she would do in the field of writing. Her home is in California, and she is known to all the world, but by her pen name, Joan Morris. To you she is Flora Justice. “Now let me carry you down to Kentucky where a beautiful woman is living happily with her husband on a large farm. She has inherited a large sum of money, but has given it toward building a hospital for the mountaineers, and has become known far and wide for her kindness. Her name was once Dorotha Gilbert. “The next picture is not quite so happy. A fair lady has been disappointed in love. Now. in Chicago, she seeks balm for a wounded heart in bringing happiness to others. Do you recognize Bertha Ballard? The handkerchief this time was a large blue one, and after a moment’s hesitation she said, “I see a lawyer -with wealth and fame living in Washington. D. C. He is recognized in the Nation’s Capital as a man of unswerving truth and justice: and. thinking of ‘Honest Abe,’ people call him ‘Honest Ed.’ “I see a wealthy man in St. Louis. He has gone through the schools of engineering and now operates the aeroplane bus line from St. Louis to New York City. This is Earl White. m “Lastly I see an athlete, famous the world over. But— “The heights by great men reached and kept Were not attained by single (light. And Paul, while his companions slept. Tossed basketballs both left and right. “For practice? For amusement? Yes, And more. He saw a goal afar! And now. at last, the prize is won. And Paul—your Paul’s a football star! “And now, my dear, with you I leave this envelope. Open it at your leisure. With a few more words she was gone. Curiosity, that natural characteristic of womankind, possessed me, and, hurriedly tearing open the envelope, I read: “For you the future holds a realization of your fondest dreams. Music has beckoned you ever onward The paper fell to my lap. and I resumed my musing. Suddenly, a flash of thought aroused me. I recalled that I had obtained permission from the gypsy maiden to publish her revelations in our year book, and I went immediately to our Editor and begged the privilege of having it printed, so that in years to come, we might think of the wonderful gypsy who had revealed our future to us. “Behold. I see Dortha Griffin, living in Columbus with her mother. She has become very wealthy, and owns the largest department store in the city. « 15 THE THALIA 19 2 7 GTo tfje Class; of ’27, C. %). Our high school days are now ended; Tonight we must say good-bye, And the thought revives fond memories Of days spent at old “Troy Hi.” As we pass from this hall of learning We feel we have only begun; There are many great things to accomplish, And many more goals to be won. The road has not always been easy, Our way was not always bright; But we learned, by enduring the hardships, To make every burden seem light. We have shared both in joys and in sorrows, We partook both of smiles and of tears; But our conquest of tasks so perplexing Has helped to belittle life’s fears. May the lessons we’ve learned at Troy High School Be never erased from the mind, But so inspire our lives that they brighten The way for those trav’ling behind. May we each one grow stronger and stronger When tossed on life’s stormy sea, And be faithful in life’s work, “Old Troy Hi” As we have been faithful to thee. Though our stations in life may be different And no two of our pathways the same, Let us hope we shall meet on the highway That leads on to success and fame. 16 19 2 7 THE THALIA Class MtU The Senior Class of nineteen hundred twenty-seven of Troy High School, being sound in mind and reason, with four long, hard years of work and study behind us, do make our last will and testament in the presence of the Board of Education, asking them to see that our last wishes are carried out. We do not think it right to pass on without bequeathing our splendid successes and abilities to the other students of the future. First of all, to the Juniors we leave the ability to do hard work with a cheerful attitude, as has been done by us in the past; and also, we bequeath all Senior privileges to the graduating class of ’28. Second, to the Sophomores, we leave the ability to get our lessons, feeling sure that they will profit much by a wise use of these worthy resolutions of good behavior in school. Third, to the Freshmen, we leave our best wishes for a happy future, and our ability to overcome all obstacles in a dignified and modest manner. We feel sure Troy High of '30 will need these. The personal bequests are as follows: Hazel Bloomer bequeaths her good grades and scholarly bearing to Lester Doan. Bertha Ballard bequeaths her ability to sing to George Gilbert. Edith Dunfee bequeaths her dignity to John Runion. Dorotha Griffin bequeaths her personal appearance to Helen Bond. Dorotha Gilbert bequeaths her ability to cook to Paul Kinnen. Susan Foster bequeaths her “flapperistic” characteristics to Winifred Russell. Brennice Gordon bequeaths her musical talent to Joseph Chase. Flora Justice bequeaths her poetic temperament to Harold Conklin. Nellie Kinnen bequeaths her curly hair to Mary Belle Bentz. Edna Nestor bequeaths her ability to play basketball to Ruth Dye. Myrta Nestor bequeaths her talkativeness to Milton O’Neil. Marvin Dodd bequeaths his patent leather hair to Everett Wildman. Teddy Kincaid bequeaths his gay manner to Clive Bailey. Trenton Newland bequeaths his jokes to Dale Gibbs. Gantz Watkins bequeaths his personal appearance to Anna James. Paul Green bequeaths his athletic ability to Fern Metz. Edwin Wildman bequeaths his “sheikishness” to Don Green. Earl White bequeaths his unerring judgment to Harry Booth. To the Annual Staff of ’28, we bequeath the privilege to carry on our good work. To our Faculty xve bequeath our gratitude for their many interests and worries for us during our High School career, never to be trodden again. To Troy High in general we leave all conditions, we hope, in better shape than we found them. Lastly, to our friends of Troy Township and there-about and to the Troy Civic Association, we give thanks for the many faxors done for us and the personal interest shown toward us as we have been traveling along this road to knowledge. Any and all remaining property we leave to the Board of Education to use as it sees fit. In witness thereof, we, the Class of Nineteen Hundred Twenty-seven, hereunto set our hand and seal this sixteenth day of May in the year of our Lord, One Thousand Nine Hundred Twenty-seven.

We were called “Freshies,” but we made rapid progress. This year we met in September to enroll as Sophomores. Already we found two of our members gone from our happy group, Gerald Bush and Pauline Nisely. Anna James, Harry Booth, and Genevieve Nuzum joined our class this year, bringing our total number up to thirty-six. At our first meeting we elected the following officers to pilot our class through our Sophomore year: President .............................

JfreSfjman Class piston' One bright morning in September, twenty of us entered the new High School of Troy Township to enroll as Freshmen. We were all very happy to think we had at last reached our present situation. Before long Frederick Medley entered, making us twenty-one in number, but because of the great distance they had to walk, he and Sinsel Wheaton soon left us. Wade Ritenour then entered, but stayed with us only about a week, and then he and Hubert Lester withdrew, leaving only eighteen innocent Freshmen. The second semester Helen Bond enrolled in our class, bringing our number to within one of what it originally was. At our class organization meeting early in the year, we chose the following officers: President ...........................................

The five winners of the preliminary contests were: Fern Metz, representing the United Brethren Church of Lottridge; Myrta Nestor, of the Congregational Church, Coolville; Lorcna Ward, from the M. E. Church at Bethel; Alice Chevalier, M. E. Church, Coolville; and Anna James, representing the M. E. Church at Hockingport. All of these received bronze medals. These five contestants represented Troy High School in the County Contest held at Athens. Fern Metz placed T. H. S. on the map by taking first place, receiving a silver medal and the honor of representing Athens County in the Tenth Congressional District Contest at Oak Hill. All the participants feel that they have been richly rewarded for the effort put forth in this contest, and wish to consider all honors as belonging to T. H. S., as well as to the individuals. 26 19 2 7 THE THALIA CLASS ROLL Samuel Maker. Charles Booth. Celia Kinnen. Lucy Coleman. Winnifred Maker. Hazel Conley Mary Davis. Paul Davis. Ralph Duffield.

When we came back in 1925 as Sophomores, although some had found the path of learning too difficult to travel, and had forsaken us after the first year, enough others joined us so that there were twenty-five in all. We spent two happy years with Prof. Paynter as our leader. During that time we worked hard to show the Seniors that we did not deserve the names which they applied to us. September 20. 1926. we came back as Juniors. There were twenty-five of us, but before long two of our boys, Arnold Groves and Dana Doane. left us. While we realize that we have not always used our time and talents to the best advantage, we believe that we have to some extent succeeded in helping build up and maintain a worthy school spirit. Our class is represented in both debating and basketball. Of the seventeen local contestants in the Prince of Peace Contest, six were from our class. Five pupils represented T. H S. at the county contest held at Athens. Fern Metz took first place among the thirteen contestants of Athens County, winning a silver medal, and later represented Athens County in the Tenth Congressional District Contest held at Oak Hill. We feel that we have a right to be proud of what she has done as a member of our Junior class. With the encouragement, aid. and advice of our faithful leader. Miss Evans, twenty-three of us are still going forward in the path we have chosen. We hope that these twenty-three will prove faithful to the end, and that next year will find us all back in our places, ready to take up the work of our last year at Troy High.

The question for county debate this year was “Resolved: That Capital Punishment Should Be Abolished.” After much study on the question and several trips to the Carnegie Library at Athens, the following debaters were chosen to represent Troy High in the triangle consisting of Coolville, New Marshfield, and Albany: Affirmative— Edna Nestor Gantz Watkins Hazel Bloomer Edwin Wildman, Alternate Negative— Myrta Nestor Susan Foster Marvin Dodd Mildred Newland, Alternate Our affirmative team, debating at home, won the decision by a margin of a single point over the negative team representing the school that was later proclaimed County Champions for this year—Albany. Our negative team journeyed to New Marshfield where we lost by four points. But as New Marshfield lost at Albany by seventeen points, this gave the first place in our triangle to Albany, thus barring us from further participation. 27 THE THALIA 19 2 7 Girls’ IBnskttiaU The girls who were interested in basketball were requested to remain after school for practice. After little practice of that sort, we met and organized. We played our first game with Tuppers Plains. We lost the game 2 to 0 because we had had very little practice. We next met Amesville on their court. We again lost 24 to 2, after a hard fought game. Our team was rather broken up for a time then; as one player quit, and another could not play any longer. We again organized. We had the honor of appearing in the first game played in our new gym, opposing the Amesville girls. We played a hard game, but one of our players was ill at the time, so that the game ended with a score of 34 to 0 in favor of the visitors. We next played Tuppers Plains on our floor, losing by a score of 4 to 2. Our next game, which was with the same school, gave us our only decisive victory of the season, with a score of 4 to 1. The game with Stewart, played on our floor, resulted in defeat by a close score of 6 to 4. Encourage by these recent results we entered our last game, with Canaanville, determined to win. It was a close game. It should have been a tie, but due to some argument, the visitors were supposed to win with a 5 to 6 result. Our team organization was as follows: Captain ........................................... Lorena Ward Manager Gladys Kincaid LINE-UP Right Forward ............................

Next we played Albany on their ground with a score of 14 to 4. Again this was in favor of Coolville. After this we went to Tuppers Plains. Here Coolville was again victorious, with a score of 26 to 20. The next week we visited Amesville. When we left, we brought with us a score of 21 to 8. Then we invited Amesville down to Coolville to play on our new gym floor. They came with determination to win this game, but they went home with another defeat of 25 to 8. New Marshfield, also, wanted revenge, but this was not attainable at Coolville; so they also went home with a defeat of 8 to 2. The rest of the games were played on our home floor. Tuppers Plains visited us and returned home with a score of 38 to 11 in our favor. The next game was canceled on account of high water. This was to be held with Lodi. The next week we played Stewart with another victory of 28 to 13. Another victory was added to our fist when we played Tuppers Plains again—28 to 12. Also the’ next game was played with the same school with a score of 17 to 14. Then Canaanville thought they could win a victory, but their efforts were of no avail. They also went home with a defeat of 48 to 12. At last, we met defeat in our last game. This was with G1 ouster, the score being 34 to 15. Even at that, there is some satisfaction in knowing that our only defeat was at the hands of the winners in the Athens Countv loumament. 29 THE THALIA 19 2 7 Jokes Kenneth Dunfee: “Look at that senior girl over there smiling at me.” Marvin Dodd: “That’s nothing. The first time I saw you, I laughed out loud.” Miss Evans: “Ralph, how many times do I have to tell you not to ask so many questions?

Mr. Morrison: “What makes you stare at my nose so much ?” Hazel Bloomer: “Miss Evans said to keep my eye on anything that turns up.” Ted Newland: “Do you serve lobsters here?” Mr. Brafford: “Sure, sit down we serve anybody.” Ted Kincaid: “I used to take my daily dozen; now I take my daily zero.” 30 POWER — for — your day’s work THE MODERN ALADDIN New Homes for Old The story of Aladdin is a myth, but there’s no magic connected with the ease, comfort and economy that comes with the Westinghou.se Farm Light and Power Plant.

Every superintendent in every large industry in the country will promptly say that his problem is not machinery, nor markets, nor money, but men and women fitted for the kind of employment necessary in his establishment and willing to give the type of service that every business must have in order to be successful. There is a great deal of mediocrity in the world—so much that the person who is really ambitious and thoughtful has almost an open field. In every business there are a few men and women around whom the wheels of the enterprise revolve—they are the ones who know their business and who can be trusted to carry the responsibility that comes to them in their positions. Because of this demand for ability—for basic intelligence and industry upon which has been built a technical education for business—the commercial world offers some very special inducements to the high school graduate. There are places almost without limit for high-grade stenographers, accountants, private secretaries, department managers, etc.; in fact there is no office in any enterprise so high that the man or woman who is willing to pay the price of preparation may not aspire to it—and let us say here that the woman’s place in business is just as big and that her possibilities are just as great as are those of the man. In verification of what we have said, we shall be glad to send, upon request, the names and addresses of hosts of our boys and girls who have gone from our school into beginning business situations from which they have climbed, because of their training, into important managerial, executive and ownership positions. Our catalog will interest you. Send for it. Mountain State Business College A. G.
