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.

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
