Genevieve Wildman. Junior Class Jnstorp In September. 1924. twenty-four of us enrolled at C. H. S. as Freshmen. 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.

19 2 7 THE THALIA Jforenstcs === Bebate Members: Myrta Nestor, Gantz Watkins, Mildred Nexvland, William Westervelt, Hazel Bloomer, Edna Nestor, Marvin Dodd, Mary Davis, Susan Poster, Edwin Wildman and Mr. Morrison, Coach. 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
