FRESHMAN HISTORY September 6. 1927. thirty-seven of us entered the temple of learning of Troy High School to enroll as freshmen. We were all very happy to enter this new phase of , life, ready to start our new tasks. We have had much pleasure along our path of learning, during the whole year. We are proud to think we have started our freshman year with several of our members participating in outside sports and activities. We are proud to have some of the excellent players of Troy's basketball team in our class. Four members of the track team are freshmen and the debating team is also represented. Congressman T. A. Jenkins offered cash prizes to the 1927 eighth grade graduates of Athens county, now freshmen, for writing the best letters describing the Eighth Grade Commencement Exercises last summer. The first prize was won by one of our freshman members, two others tying for second place. We started the year with thirty-seven freshmen or “freshies.'' as we were called, and we hope that all will resume their places next year as Sophomores. Some, of course, will realize how difficult the work is and will probably stop by quituation. Our class increased its number the first semester by the addition of Roselene Hollingsworth, but was soon diminished by the withdrawal of Delpha Chutes, Floyd Hawk, and Charles Shields. The last semester we added Virginia Tanthory to our enrollment, making us thirty-five in number. Our class was the largest ever to enter Troy High, and we hope to see a large class next year. At our class organization meeting early in the year we elected the following officers: President. Leo Baker; Vice President, Charles Smith: Secretary, Helen Brander-berry: Treasurer. Betty Yagala. Adviser. Mr- Bane. Class Flower. American Beauty Rose. Class Colors. Blue and Gold. page six

Several came and went, but at the second semester we finally settled down to our Faithful Nineteen.” We found many difficulties to face on our road, which was sometimes rough, but our nineteen were still with us when we arrived at the first milestone. This year we enrolled as Sophomores. We soon found that three of our number were missing—Ethel Morgan. Winifred Russell, and Helen Brafford. Madge Grewey, Lester Doan, and John Runion were enrolled as Sophomores for the year: this brought the number back to what it originally was. Our class had a representative in both debating and the Prince of Peace Contest. Hazel Place represented the Coolville Congregational Church in the Athens countv Prince of Peace Contest, taking ninth place. She was also our second speaker of the negative side of the debating team. We. therefore, feel that one of our nineteen has already accomplished much and we hope that before our four years have come to a close, many more will have achieved something truly worthy.
