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.
