DEBATE “Resolved, That the Direct Primary system of nominating candidates for public office in the United States should be abolished. This was the question that Troy High's forensic aspirants were called upon to debate against other high schools of Athens County this year. Perhaps due to the highly technical political nature of the question, many were somewhat relucant to attempt its discussion, but on the first date set for study at the Carnegie Library, Athens, about fourteen students responded. This encouraged Mr. Morrison to begin planning for two complete teams for both affirmative and negative sides of the question. Then came an epidemic of measles which, coupled with perhaps somewhat too intense interest in other activities, forestalled, the plan and seriously interfered with the organization of single complete teams for both sides of the question. The personnel of the teams as finally selected, was as follows: Affirmative:— Betty Yagala, Alyce Chevalier, Samuel Baker and Kenneth Gillilan (alternate). Negative:—Mildred Newland. Hazel Place. Jean Nestor, and Harold McBride (alternate). Troy High's affirmative team, debating at home, won the decision over Canaanville; and the negative team, debating against Amesville. at that place, was decided against, despite the excellent rebuttals and the judge's commendation of the excellent stage “presence of its members. page twenty-four

April 19. 1928 No. 22 Our School Paper “The Orange and Black , official school paper of Troy High, first came to light early in November 1927. Principal C. A. Gillilan conceived the idea of purchasing a duplicating machine somewhat on the nature of the well-known Mimeograph , to be used in the print ing. A machine known as the Letter-graph was finally chosen, at a cost of only $35. A staff was selected by the English de partment from the student body with Velma Johnson as Editor-in-Chief. Gladyce Sheets and Hazel Conley. Associate Editor, and Mildred Runnion as Business Manager, taking its name from the school colors. Mr. Morrison, head of the English de partment. served voluntarily as Faculty Advisor and Censor of the publication during the first semester, and was elected to that position by the student body at the beginning of the second semester. It has been his duty, in that capacity, to see to it that news material truly reflecting the spirit and life of the school, be given to the public- Each week he has had to devote much time and energy to seeing to it that the reporters do their work as as signed, and that enough material be secured to fill the space in the paper. Not a single week's issue has missed publication or distribution because of lack o preparation of the copy . Mr. Gillilan. who was elected Faculty Business Manager for trie second semester, has had charge of furnishing the material supplies, such as ink. paper, and stencils, and has taken care of the financial affairs of the publication. As Editor-in-Chief for the entire school year. Velma Johnson has been subjected to all the trials and tribulations imaginable that might come up. from the running down” of tardy staff members to the irate disapproving frowns of the Faculty Censor, as he slashes” through the copy or harangues for more material and more speed .

1928 THE THALIA .. Ul “... I.am.....iiu.mmmm... mmmmm I lie I roy girls, unfortunately, met with little success in piling up victories to their credit this school year. They made an excellent showing in the opening game of the season and emerged victorious in their second contest. But luck (or something) seems to have deserted them there: for they were unable to add any further victories to their record. f he first games were played according to boys' rules: then came orders to the effect that all girls games on the county schedule be played according to girls’ rules, which were new and difficult to learn. Next came an epidemic of measles, breaking up the regular team for several weeks. Although most often losers, the Troy girls were never quitters. Always, like true Trojans, they fought through with all their strength, trying to narrow the margin of defeat, even when victory did seem impossible. The girls’ games were always the preliminary games of the evening ’. and although nearly always defeated themselves, the 1 roy girls were right on the spot, lustily cheering the boys on to victory.
