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 In September, 1925, twenty of us enrolled as Freshmen under the leadership of Miss Evans. 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.

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. Our class is represented in Orchestra, Chorus, Basketball, and four members entered the Prince of Peace Dclamation in the local contest; namely, Grace Jeffers, William Dixon, Page Gordon and Louise Watkins. Two entered Debating, Lennie Sharp and Ward Hornsby. W'e hope with the help and advice of the faculty members that we will all return as Sophomores, and continue our work in T. H. S.
