19 THE THALIA 30 SENIOR CLASS HISTORY Four years ago. September 1926. twenty Freshmen enrolled at Troy High School, the first class of Freshmen to enroll in the new school building. We were all very happy on this occasion, looking forward to the time when our four years would be ended, and we should reach the goal called Graduation . We were the smallest class ever to enter this school. We enrolled under the leadership of Miss Evans. Several quit, several new ones enrolled in our class during that year, leaving us with the same as we started, twenty members. When we came back as Sophomores, we enrolled under a new leader, Mr. Gillilan. We found that we had lost three members .who were Winifred Russell, Ethel Morgan, and Sinsel Wheaton. However, as three more enrolled in our class. John Runion. Lester Doan, and Madge Grewey. again we had twenty members. In. 1928 when we enrolled as Juniors, we found that we had again lost a member, Madge Grewey. and that one came to us. Grace Stout. We then called ourselves the Faithful Twenty . But during this year one member. Hazel Justice, found it more desirable to take up work, other than in school, thus leaving our number nineteen. We hoped all that year for another member but none came. But when we entered as Seniors, sure enough, one found it impossible to graduate last year .and so Dale Blair, entered our class. Our class through all four years has been well represented in all school activities: Basket-ball, debate. Prince of Peace Declamation Contest, orchestra, and county-field meets. Our class has been represented in basket-ball, two years by Ralph Cal-away. first team, and by George Gilbert and Joseph Chase, as substitutes: in debate three years by Clinton Burdette, Harold Calaway. and Hazel Place: in orchestra three years by Kenneth Dunfee, and Paul Kinnen: and in the Prince of Peace Declamation Contest, four years by Lester Murrey. Guy White, and Hazel Place, the latter taking second place for two years. The Senior class was very proud, when Lester Murrey took third place in the State Wool Judging Contest in his Junior year. This year twenty entered as Seniors under the guidance of another new leader. Mr. Ray. Although we were still the smallest class in the history of school, we were still more determined to strive just as hard to help to make our school the best. In our Freshman year we chose as our class motto, Work and Win . We set out then to do our best to accomplish the most, and to reach the desired goal of Graduation in four years as we had hoped. We have reached our goal as set forth years ago. trying to everbear in mind our motto. CLASS OFFICERS President Vice President Secretary .
