E. Paynter as leader. Perhaps due to their not realizing that the Freshman year is always the most difficult, several members of our class failed to appear when we enrolled as Sophomores in 1925. However, several new pupils decided to join us. bringing our number up to twenty-five. On September 20, 1926 twenty-three of us began our Junior year in the new Troy Township School building, with a new leader. Miss Evans. Towards the end of the term, Elizabeth Bond, who had left us in our Freshman year, rejoined us. During the year members of our class took an active part in oratorical contests, debating, and athletics. Fern Metz, entering the Prince of Peace Contest, took first place among the thirteen contestants of Athens County, winning a silver medal and the honor of representing Athens County in the Tenth Congressional District Contest held at Oak Hill. At the Athens County Oratorical Contest Ralph Duffield took second place in the humorous readings, winning a silver medal. Early in September. 1927, twenty-two of us came back to complete our last year of High School work under the guidance of our new leader. Mr. C. A. Gillilan. Our Senior year has been as successful as were the other three years of our High School life Again we had the honor of claiming the winner of the Athens County Prince of Peace Contest as a member of our class! Samuel Baker won the silver medal and represented Athens County in the Congressional District Contest held at Hamden. Ohio. We of the Senior class also take pride in the fact that several of the members of Troy High's excellent basketball team are from our class. Near the end of our last year at Troy High, we feel that our four years spent here have been worth while—that we have learned many lessons, not only from our text books, but from other sources as well. We hope that all of the members of our Senior class, soon to start out into a new world of experience, will be winners in life—just as part of them were winners here at Troy High School.
