We were the largest class of Freshmen that had ever entered Coolville High School, but during the first year two left us, leaving our number only thirty-five. When we came back the second year, as Sophomores, to our great disappointment we found that some had resolved to take up phases of work other than school. The “faithful thirty-five” left were striving to work their way on through, with the help of our new leader, Miss Evans and the new high school building, which proved to be of very much value to us during this year. We were all proud of our new high school and resolved to work much harder during the next two years to make our school the best one in the country. In 1927 we came back as Juniors, but alas! still more had dropped from our class, because they had found married life to be more pleasant than school work. We were then twenty-nine in number. One member of our class, Perie Stout, was obliged to quit, because of the illness of her mother. This year we had another new leader, Mr. Gillilan, and the class with his help progressed rapidly. Our class has been well represented in all athletic activities, many of the basket-ball boys and girls being from our class. William West-ervelt tied for second place in the County Field Meet in Pole Vault, in his Sophomore year, receiving a bronze medal, and in his Junior year took first place in the county contest at Athens and the District Contest at Wellston. winning gold medals both places. We have been well represented in Chorus work. Orchestra, Debating, and in the Prince of Peace Contest at Athens both this year and last. Those taking part were: Mable Buck, Lorena Ward, Clarice Root, Alyce Chevalier and Anna James. This year we all came back again, and our class now numbers thirty-one. the largest graduating class in the history of the high school. Several students from other schools came to finish their schooling here. We all came back to finish the great task we set out to conquer four years ago, and reach our goal we have so long hoped for—Graduation. As this happy number leaves Troy High School, we hope with the help and training we have received from here, that each one will be capable of going on with his life work, no matter what occupation he chooses to follow, and may we never forget the happy days spent at Troy High School.

SENIOR CLASS OF 1929. ;page eleven THE THALIA iiiiiiiiiiiiiHiiiHiHiiiiiiiiiinHiiiiimiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiimiiiiiMiiimiiiiHiimmiiimmiiiiiiiiiiiiHiiiitiiimiiHiiii iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiimiiiiiiiiuitiiiimiiiiimiiiiimiliiiiiiiimiiiiiitiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiillllMMMiiiiitiiiiMiiiiiiiiiu One night when Anna was staying over with me, we desided we would spend the evening at home. As the evening wore on we had listened to many stations on the radio. On tiring of one station we turned the dial and heard a voice saying, “You may now hear your own future. Tonight pictures of many years to come are clearly in my vision. I will tell them to you as they appear to me.” We soon became disheartened, for we knew none of the names he had mentioned. Just as we were about to turn the radio off, wc heard the name Tex Rickard. We wondered what this had to do with our future and this is what he said, “We have been hearing a lot lately about the death of the prize fight promoter, Tex Rickard, but tonight as I see the picture of years to come, I see his place very efficiently filled by Bill Westervelt.” This then regained our interest. The announcer went on, “As more pictures come to me I see Margaret McCance singing in grand opera with Mary Belle Bentz as her accompanist.” We were not surprised at this, because this had always been the girl’s ambition. We had no time for discussion, as we must listen for he was continuing, “Certainly everyone has not gone to the city for the very next picture is that of a farm. It must be almost dinner time for there is Mabel Buck cooking.” That made Anna and I hungry for we knew how good Mabel could cook, for we took Home Econmics with We could not then stop to eat. We must listen for he was saying, “As the next picture appears it is a very pretty home in Belpre, Ohio. This is a scene of an afternoon tea. The hostess would be known to most people as Lucy Mae Daugherty, but not to these people she is entertaining.” “Next I see a hospital scene,” the voice went on. “The tall slender nurse who glides so noiselessly around the room is identified as Constance Walden. “The next picture that comes to my visions is that of a nicely dressed woman walking up the street leading a very attractive child. To her schoolmates she was known as Gladys Kincade.” “The picture I new see is in the northern part of the state of Ohio. I see a very sporty roadster coming down the street. As it comes nearer I see a German Police Dog sitting beside the driver. I see the driver is a well dressed young woman, and if some of you could see with me you would know it was Clarice Root. That used to be her name, but not any more. As 1 watch the car go on down the street I see Clarice stop in front of a large department store. In a very short time Jean Nestor comes out and gets in the car with Clarice. Jean had proved very efficient in this store.” “As this picture fades a class room comes to my vision. It is the Home Econmics Department. There is Betty Bond lecturing on menus. Betty has a very nice department in which to teach. My vision takes me on up stairs, where they are having English. Lucille Davis is the English Instructor.” “This time my vision is that of a garage. Some one is under the car. A customer conies in the garage, and as this sturdy mechanic emerges from underneath the car, I see through the grease and dirt that it is Argyl Vorhies. “Oh, here is a different kind of a scene. A large crowd. Oh ,yes, it is a basketball game. The whistle has blown for the half. As the boys leave the court they gather around their coach. As they drift away I am able to see the Coach. It is Don Green. By this time we were commencing to be anxious for our own future to be told us, but we must not be impatient, and if we stopped to talk we would miss some of the scenes which he was telling. SENIOR PROPHECY her. page twelve THE THALIA •fHimiHHimiiniiiiiiiimiMiiitiimiiiiiiitiiiiiiiil'miliiiiiimiitiiitiiiimiiiiiiiiiimiiiim.iitiiiiiriiMiiiiiiiim iiiiiiiiimiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiHiiiiiiiiiintiiiiiiiitiHiiiiiiiimiiimiiiiiMmiiimtiiiitiiMmiiiiMiiiiiMiimiiiMlinfin “This time, my friends, I see a beautiful house. There is Lorena Ward sitting in a handsome chair, reading a book. My vision takes me to another room in the same house. This room is a strange contrast to the magnificance of the others. There among all clutter of the room is Harold McBride working on an invention which is soon to be a great success. “Again we are taken to the country. This time it is a country store. Behind the counter is Wren Carton If you could talk to her she would tell you she had been been married three years, and their small store had been a huge success. “Another nice home, but the person concerned is not the owner of it. It belongs to an old ladys who is an invalid. Bertha Ward, who is a graduate nurse, has taken care of her for several years, and will probably be the owner of the house at the death of the invalid lady. “It seems as though a good many of these people are doomed to the farm. Now I see a huge dairy farm, and who is the owner, but Harry Gibbs! “More school teachers! This time my vision is not very clear. Although I am not able to see what course they have specialized in, I can see that Leola Follrod and Helen Jeffers are teaching school. “My vision takes me to another study, this is a different type than the others. There beside the typewriter is Esther Bailey working on her latest novel. This is assured success, because of the many successful preceding ones.” “Here is an entirely different picture. It is a skating rink. The owners are Milton O'Neil and Everett Wildman. “Now the picture I see is that of a library in one of our large cities. If you were to go in after a book you would find the librarian to be Wilma Cornes. “In my vision I see a building being fastlv constructed. No wonder, as the carpenter is Dale Blair, who always had good work in manual training. “Another hospital scene. It seems as though many of the girls from this group have chosen nursing for their vocation. The nurse I see in this picture is Margaret Collins. In this picture I see a small woman come in and talk to one of the doctors. This woman is Pearl Pitts, who has married one of the successful doctors in this large hospital. “My vision takes me to the office of a large firm in Chicago. In the office I see the President of the firm dictating to his private secretary. This secretary is Lucy Baker. “This time I see the ring at a boxing match. The gong has sounded, and I see Bill Griffiin being heralded as the Champion.” Now Anna and I had cause to be excited. We were the only ones left. We were all attention for we didn't want to miss a detail of our own future. “I am now seeing a street in New York. There is a very pretty shop for women’s clothing. If you would go inside you would be greeted by the owner, who is Anna James. If you could talk to her she would tell you Alyce Chevalier was teaching school in the suburbs, and they were living together in a very cozy apartment. We were then to delighted to listen for more. We wanted to talk more about our own future, as we had always wanted to be together after our school days were over. page thirteen HOROSCOPE Name Nickname By Word Failing | Esther Baily Esther I don’t care .... .

Several left us and several came to us that year, but at the end of the first semester, we settled down to twenty. We were successful throughout the year in keeping our twenty members. Last year we enrolled under a new leader, Mr. Gillilan. As Sophomores we found we had lost three of our members, Win’fred Russell. Sinsel Wheaton, and Ethel Morgan, but three more enrolled bringing our number back to twenty. They were Lester Doan, John Runion, and Madge Grewey. This year, when we came back to good old T. H. S. as Juniors, we found that we had again lost one member. Madge Grewey, but also one had come to us, Grace Stout. Once again we began with our “Faithful Twenty,” but only a few months ago one of our members, Hazel Justice, withdrew from school, so now we have nineteen members. We are hoping at least one will come to us next year. Our class has been represented in Basketball. Orchestra, Chorus, Debate, and Prince of Peace Declamation Contest. With the help and advice of the faculty members we hoDe that a “Faithful Twenty” will proceed on the rough highway to their education.

SOPHOMORE CLASS HISTORY On September 6, 1927, thirty-seven of us entered Troy High School as Freshmen. Out of our class of last year many of us participated in different things. Basketball was represented by good players. Some Freshmen tried out for track and went to the County Field Meet. The Jenkins Letter Contest was also entered, and three members took first and second places. This year thirty-three of the thirty-five returned as Sophomores, one having moved away and one quit. Two more. Hazel Tucker and Orville Koehler, were added to our class. Many more members participated in different things this year than year. Three members of our class, Bettie Yagala, Harold Callaway and Jack Burdette took part in the debate. The boys basketball team has two good players from the Sophomore Class, Leo Baker and Charles Smith. A large delegation from our class is helping with the school paper. They are: Helen Brandeberry, Ada Gillilan, Bettie Yagala, Blanche Murrey, Ruth Green, and Omah Gaston. At the beginning of the school year the following officers were elected: President Leo Baker Vice-President Charles Smith Secretary Omah Gaston Treasurer Helen Brandeberry Class Historian Ada Gillilan Class Advisor Miss Knecht Class Colors Blue and Gold Class Flower American Beauty Rose Motto “We lead; others follow.” page nineteen THE THALIA ■miiiimumiMiMiiimiimiiiiMiiiiiiimiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiitiiiiiiiiiiimiiiiiiiiiiiiiMiiiiMiiiil'nimmutini iiiimiiimiimiimiiiiiiiiiimiiimiiiimmiHiniiiiiiiiiimiiiiiiiiiiniiiiiiiiMii.iimmmMMiiiiiiiiiimiiMiuiiM Left to Right—Page Gordon, Frank Chapman, Clay Golden, Charles Shields, Roy Ware, Jessie Justice.

FRESHMAN CLASS HISTORY We, the Freshmen of Troy High School, entered the School of Education, September 7, 1928. We entered school with forty-two in number, the largest class of Freshmen that ever entered Troy High. But during the end of the first month, six left us who were as follows: Paul Price and Homer Ice left us on account of their parents moving away; Kermit and Kenneth Starcher twins, Nina Randolph and Wilma Cubbison found other life more pleasant than school life.

The aim in Home Economics course today is to train the school girl to homemaking activities so that she will be awake to her many responsibilities and be able to assume them. Xo longer, therefore, can “Cooking and Sewing” or “Sanitation and Hyftiene” be justified as a complete course offered in Home Economics. Home Eco-omics Courses offered include the spending and managerial aspects of the home, child development, home and community relationships, home building and furnishing, decorating, art and science, conservation of the health of the family, food selection, preparation and serving, selection care and construction of clothing. The Home Economics department of Troy High School is one of the best equipped in the county, as the Board of Education and the Civic Association have been very helpful to the Department, and this help has been appreciated by every one. The Board of Education has purchased blinds, cooking utensils, cans, glasses, silverware, two sets of irons, and six reference books, for the department this year. The girls have served meals and sold pop corn for various occasions, and the money has been spent on repairs for sewing machines, flag, dishes, and other equipment for the Department. The Civic Association has purchased enough dishes and silverware to serve complete dinner for two hundred and forty persons. The china is plain white and the glassware clear. The silver has the monogram of T. H. S. They also purchased 24 lockers for the sewing room. This has been a very successful and an enjoyable year for all the girls. page twenty-three THE THALIA iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiimiiiiiiiiiiimitmiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiitiitiiiiiiiitittitiiiiiiiitiiiiiiiiiniitiiiMiisiiiiiiiiiitiiiiifiiiiiiiiiufiiiiiiniiitiiiiiiiiiMtiiiiiiiiiiiiniimiim •iitiiiuiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiMHiiiiimMiiiiiiiuiiiiiiiiiiiiiniiiiiiinniiniimitiit “EVERYTHING TO BUILD YOUR HOME” PHONE OR MAIL YOUR ORDERS AND WE WILL GUARANTEE PROMPT DELIVERY AND SATISFACTORY PRICES page twenty-four THE THALIA Il'nillllMIIIIIIMItlllllllMIIIIIIIIIIMIIIIIIIIimillllMIIIIIIIIIIIIMIIIIMIIIIMIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIHIMIIIimHIl imtllltllfttHMIHtMIHIIIIIIIMIlltlllttllllllllflltlMllimillltlllllMlltmiUlllllltltllllllllllMlimillllllimtltnUIIHIIIII VOCATIONAL AGRICULTURE DEPT The Vocational Agriculture Department started out at the beginning of the year with an enrollment of thirty-six students. The courses taught this year are Animal Husbandry, F'arm Engineering, and Farm Shop. All students are carrying related projects. Some of the projects the boys are carrying are: Swine, Sheep, Records on Dairy herds, Baby Chicks, Bees, Strawberries, and records on laying flocks. Along with this, all Engineering boys are carrying a F'arm Flnginering Project. An Apple Judging team consisting of Leo Baker, Roger Clark, Guy White, and Paul Chase went to Columbus during Farmers’ Week to judge apples. They placed nineteenth out of a field of about forty teams. Paul Kinnen, a Vocational Boy, won seventh prize in the Ohio State Potato Show held during Farmers’ Week at Ohio State University. Four boys, Page Gordon, William Dixon, Dennis Hixon, and Guy White are keeping Farm Account Records in the contest sponsored by the Ohio-Pennsylvania Joint Stock Land Bank. Work is going along nicely in the Department, and an increased enrollment is anticipated for the coming school year. page twenty-five THE THALIA THE COOLVILLE NATIONAL BANK J. E. BAILEY, President F.

Of the 19 games played Troy won 16. Only two teams are able to claim a victory over us. Those teams are Hollister and Frankfort. After two pre-season games we went to Hollister and dropped our first league game to them by a five point margin. The team seemed to go somewhat stale in the District Tournament, and lost out in the quarter finals to Frankfort by three points. Troy can boast a clean record on her home floor for the year just ended. During the three years the gymnasium has been in use, the Trojans have dropped only one game, a practice tilt, by two points. Troy feels that only one loss in 35 games played on the home floor is a record to be proud of, and hope the succeeding teams will keep up this good record. The following are season’s scores: T roy Troy Troy Troy Troy Troy Troy Troy Troy Trov Tryo Troy Troy Troy 65 Tuppers Plains 10 46 Racine 13 25 Hollister 29 62 Chauncey 21 29 Amesville 26 39 Rome 32 51 Lodi 11 30 Buchtel 29 42 New Marshfield 31 2 Albany (Forfeit) 39 The Plains 23 48 Canaanville 13 31 Rome 29 67 Tuppers Plains Ind. 13 COUNTY TOURNAMENT Troy 38 Amesville 23 T roy 35 New Marshfield 18 Troy 34 Hollister 29 DISTRICT TOURNAMENT Troy 23. Rio Grande 14 Troy 16 Frankfort 19 Total 712 Opponents Total 383 page twentysevcn THE THALIA Troy won the league championship with nine wins and one loss, and on only five occasions was she held under 30 points, while the most her opponents could gather in one game was 32 points. Next year’s team will probably be formed around the three letter men left, and if the Baker-Smith combination works as it should, they should go far, and be hard for any team to stop. With six members of this year’s team graduating, there will be room on the squad for several new men. Much credit for the team’s successful season should go to Coach Cole, and Managers Pailet and Bradford, who devoted their time unsparingly to the welfare of the team. Captain Don Green—Center In Den we feel that we had one of the best centers in Southeastern Ohio. Don was a good floor man as well asa good shot. He was the high scorer on the team, and besides securing the tip-off practically all of the time, held his opponents to less than half of his points. His unusual ability won him a place on the “ALL COUNTY” team. Under Don’s leadership we had a very successful season. This is Don’s last year and, needless to say, his place will be hard to fill, and he will be greaty missed both by the players and fans. Leo Baker—Right Forward “Lee” was a good shot who combined clever offensive play with good defensive work. Fie received mention on “ALL COUNTY” and “ALL DISTRICT” teams. Leo has two more years cn the squad and if he continues to show as he has he will be a hard man to stop. Charles Smith—Left Forward Charley did some very fine playing, especially in the Tournament. He secured a place on the “ALL-COUNTY” team which is a great distinction for a Sophomore. He has two more years to play. Charley was a good shot, and he was the individual high scorer in the County Tournament. William Westervelt—Left Guard Bill contributed as much to the success of the team as any other player, with the probable exception of Don. Bill was considered one of the best guards in the county. It was hard for the fastest opponent to score when Bill was on him. If the opponents had an especially hard man to hold, the coach would say, “Bill, that’s your man.” Bill would grin and say, “I’ll hold him.” This is Bill’s last year, and his place will be a difficult one to fill. Ralph Callaway—Right Guard In the “Old Man,” Troy had a very fine guard who held his opponents to a small score and invariably broke into the scoring column. He was mentioned on the “ALLDISTRICT” team. Ralph has one more year and should show up well. Argyl Vorhies, William Griffin (Bill), Milton O’Niel (Red) Harry Booth (Scrim mager) Joseph Chase (Joe) and George Guilbert did not play in every game, but in the ones they played they showed up well. Only the superior playing of the regulars kept these boys from first team berths. Of these, Argyl, Bill, Red, and Scrimmager graduate. page twenty-eight THE THALIA IIIIIIIIIMIIIIIIIMIIIIIIIIIIIIIIHIIIIMIIIIIIIIIIMIIIIIIIIIIIIMIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIHII tlMllltlltllltlllt llftlllllllllt I tilt I f IIIIEIfllltlllllllllllllllftMl III • |l|MII|l(||l|tll I If III t(f (III MI If till 11111 lllllt III II lllllltll till I lltIUltlll Hill I llltll tlllltlltl tit (ttl BABY CHICKS “Of proven Egg Production—Quality true Assures more Poultry Profit to You.” OUR NINE YEARS EXPERIENCE in scientific incubation and high standard flock construction is back of every Atheneon Chick.

DEBATE Different from any method previously used was the one this year in the Athens County Debates. No decisions were rendered, each team debating for the benefits received from the work. Each school received five points toward the County Filed Meet for each debate in which it participated. Each indiviual member of the debate teams received a sterling silver pin, presented by the Athens County Oratorical Association, for his effort during the debate. The question for debate this year was “Resolved: That the United States should cease to protect by force of arms, capital invested in foreign lands, except after a formal declaration of war.” Troy participated in the two scheduled debates, March 15 and March 22. On March 15 Troy’s affirmative team, composed of Harold McBride alternate. Betty Yagalia. Ward Hornsby, and Jack Burdette debated the Canaanville negative team there. Troy’s negative team. Hazel Place, Clinton Burdette. Lennie Sharp, and Harold Calaway, alternate, competed with Stewart’s affirmative here. On March 22 Troy and Amesville contested in a dual debate, the negative teams traveling. In general the sentiment expressed in the community was not favorable toward the new method of judging debates, but nevertheless, the debaters received many worthwhile benefits from the debate. page thirty-one THE THALIA lllllllllllllllllltMIUllllllllUIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIMIIIimilllllllllinilllllllMlllllllimilllllllUllllltllinilll lltHlllIHUIIIHHIIIIHHIIIIIMIIIIUIIIIItIMIIIIIMIIllllllltlllllHtlllllllllltl MARIETTA, OHIO ONE OF SOUTHEASTERN OHIO’S MOST UP-TO-DATE DEPARTMENT STORES Complete Lines of WOMENS and MISSES COATS.

Because of sickness that came to the school in the form of an epidemic of the flu, the team weakened during the season and never recovered the poise and pep that it seemed to have during the early games of th sason. The record will show, however, that the girls did improve toward the end of the season and played some good games. The right forward, Lorena Ward, the center, Leida Linton, Gladys Kincade and Helen Brandeberry playing guard positions, are worthy of special mention. At times they showed flashes of ability that was seldom equaled by any of their opponents during the season, but the unfortunate thing was they did not always play that way. Many of these girls, Lorena Ward, Bertha Ward, Jean Nestor, Gladys Kincade. Elizabeth Bond, and Alyce Chevalier are graduating this year, so there will be some vacancies on the team next year. It- is needless to say that these girls will be missed. When we look at the score book we are not very highly elated, but when we remember that “When the Great Scorer comes to write against your name, it will not be did you win or lose, but how did you play the game?” In this respect we feel that the girls’ achievements were a success. The Troy Girls entered the county tournament at Hollister, and lost to Rome in a close, well-played game with a score of thirteen to twenty-four. THE THALIA ........................

PRINCE OF PEACE There were nineteen boys and girls of Troy High School who competed in the Fourth Annual Prince of Peace Declamation Contest. This Contest is conducted by The Ohio Council of Churches, in an effort to bring about universal peace between nations. The winners in the contest and the churches they represent are: Coolville M. E. Church—Constance Walden Coolville Congregational—Hazel Place Bethel M. E.—Myrtle Callaway Lottridge U. B.—William Dixon Hockingport M. E.—Lester Murrey Torch M. E.—Ada Gillilan Lawrence Chapel—Mable Buck The winner in each church received a bronze medal, and was entitled to enter the county contest. Because there was too large a number to compete in the county contest, an elimination contest was held at Guysville M. E. Church, between Troy and Canaan Township. Mable Buck of Troy High School was the winner in this contest, and this gave her the privilege to compete in the county contest, which was held at Athens. page fifty THE THALIA Left to Right—Blanche Murrey, Virgil Berdine, William Dixon, Ward Hornsby, Clinton Burdette, Dale Blair, Harry Gibbs, Wren Garton.

THE ORANGE AND BLACK Our High School paper “The Orange and Black,” has ended its second successful year of publication by students in Troy High. The idea was conceived by Mr. Gil-iilan last year, and a Lettergraph was purchased. The paper has been published weekly on Wednesday throughout the school year. At the beginning of this year Clarice Root was chosen Editor-in-chief of the paper and Harold McBride, assistant. Miss Knecht has been Faculty Censor, and Mr Gillilan, Advisor. Clarice succeeded in starting the year off with a bang. A subscription campaign was staged, and a subscrption list of about 375 was reached. At the beginning of the second semester Clarice resigned her position as Editor, to take a more important one as Editor of the Annual, leaving Harold McBride as Editor of “The Orange and Black.” with Ada Gillilan and Ward Hornsby as assistants. Mr. Gillilan and Clinton Burdette, by careful buying have made “The Orange and Black” a self supporting proposition. Dale Blair, as advertising manager, has helped to a great extent by always having his ads. Dale collected the ads and cut the stencils all through the year. His page was always on time and very neatly typed. The cutting of the stencils is no little job, but Jean Nestor, Lorena Ward, and Leola Follrod showed us how to do it. It is owing to their patience and skill that the stencils came out on time. Helen Brandeberry has overseen the printing of the paper all this year. It was due to her efforts, with the help of Cliften Ward, that the paper was finally printed. Never have they failed to print the paper on time, when the stencils were cut. After the papers were printed the distribution of them was next. Omah Gaston did this the first semester, but resigned at the beginning of the second semester, and Betty Yagala took her place. Betty kept on the job, and it was she who had the responsibility of getting the papers circulated. Besides those mentioned there were the reporters who were always willing and ready to do their part in wrting up the articles. So, at the close of another year publication, it will be seen that a great many benefits have been derived from the wbrk on this paper, and that many improvements have been made on the general worlnirgs of the paper. It has placed a responsibility on the shoulders of many students, which helps to develop them, so that they can be trusted with larger responsibilities later on. page fifty-one THE THALIA The orchestra of Troy High School was organized in 1927, with Mr. 0. C. Apt as director. The orchestra was divided into two classes, the first year class, or the Junior Orchestra, for those beginning, and the second year class, or the Senior Orchestra, for those already having had some music. The orchestra course is open for all grade pupils as well as high school pupils. The instructor this year is Mr. F. A. Kennedy. Of the fourteen members of the Senior orchestra, twelve of them belong to the graduating class of this year. These pupils have organized an orchestra of their own, and will furnish the music for the Baccalaureate and Commencement exercises. paffe fifty-two THE THALIA iiiiiiiiiMiiiiiMiMnimiiuuiiiiiiiiiiiiuiiiiiiimiiiiiiiiiiiiMHiiuiiMiiiimiimiiiuiimiiMiiuiiHMiiiiiUHitiimiiMiiiHiiiiMiiimiiiiini o.
