19 THE THALIA 30 TROY GIRLS’ BASKETBALL SEASON 1929—1930 The girls’ basket ball team of Troy High School has closed what has been the most successful season of the school’s history . It began its playing season with only one regular from last year, but by hard wofk the raw recruits soon worked into a formidable squad that always gave their opponents plenty to worry about. All these girls should be on the team another year, and if nothing goes wrong they will make their opponents step down the road for county honors. The outstanding player of the team was our tall center. Ruth Green. Ruth played her position in a way to do credit to herself and team. Her shooting was spectacular at times, but win or lose, at home or away from home. Ruth led the fight. Helen Brandeberry. our star forward, was conspicuous for her speed on the floor, and her accuracy in shooting when under the basket. Any guard that had Helen to watch had plenty of business that needed immediate attention. Edith Cole and Roselyn Hollingswc-nh played the other forward position, and did well for beginners. They should show some real basketball form by next year. Ada Gillilan was a good fighter anywhere. Ada played any position on the court, and. win or lose, she always played the game. Myrtle Calaway played at side center. She developed into a fine guard. The girl who scored much when Myrtle was watching her would have to go some. Doris Crandall. Doris Brandeberry. Blanche Murrey, Rachel McDonald. Beulah Murphy and Grace Kelly were always anxious to get into the game. They were all fast, clean players, and no one doubted this after having once played against them.

19 THE THALIA 30 TROY BOYS’ BASKETBALL SEASON 1929—1930 The Troy Boys' Basketball Squad had a very successful season during 1929-30. It played twenty-three games during the year, eighteen of which were won by the Troy boys. The team finished the season in a weakened condition due to sickness and injuries that greatly handicapped it in both the County Tournament at Athens, and the district tournament at Wellston. Two of the Troy boys. Leo Baker and Charles Smith, secured places on the all-county team. This was a rather remarkable honor for Leo. as he was just recovering from an attack of the flu. On the court the boys were fast and their shooting was spectacular. It was? a lovely sight to see them when they all “got to going. Two of the boys, Ralph Calaway and George Gilbert, wore the orange and black for the last time. They are graduating this year. The other boys. Leo. Charlie, Robert, Clifton, Cecil, Paul and Roger will have another year to play. Lee and Charlie won for themselves lasting fame as the Troy sharpshooters. There are few who will dispute that, having once seen them in action. Ralph, the old man,” was a good fighter, a clean player, and always in the game. He was not a high scorer, but he held his opponent to a low score and usually broke about even with him. The work of Clifton and Cecil as guards was excellent, when we consider that this was their first year on the team. Occasionally they would slip in for a basket, but usually they were on their men. Any opponent needed to go some, if he could score when those boys were watching him. Bob did not play in all the games, but when he got in he got busy at once, and his opponent soon found that his name was Baker, and needed to be watched. George was a faithful, hard worker. He could always be depended upon to do his best. George improved a great deal during the year, and usually held his man to a low score. Paul was fast on the floor and a determined chap in a game. He is promising material for next year. Roger was rather deliberate, but ready to go any time or anywhere. He played a nice game, and should have a place on the team next year. With four letter men available for next year, the prospects look bright for Txoy High. The following is a list of the games and scores: Newport 22 T roy 36 Belpre 16 T roy 24 Vincent 15 T roy 33 Hollister 21 T roy 30 Marietta B.

THE ORANGE AND BLACK The Orange and Black. the offioal school paper of Troy High, has, for three years, been successfully published by students of the high school. The paper has been printed rcgu'arly every two weeks, during this school term, by the use of the mimeograph machine and the cooperation of the staff. The paper could not have been a success, however, without the sincere cooperation of the student body and the townspeople who backed it by giving their subscriptions. Although a subscription campaign was deemed inadvisable this year, one hundred papers have been regularly distributed at each publication. Two staffs have been responsible for The Orange and Black , each one serving a semester. Blanche Murrey was chosen by the Faculty Advisors as editor for the first semester. She was assisted by Grace Stout. Ada Gillilan. Ward Hornsby. Edith Cole, and Betty Yagala. The editor for the second semester was Ward Hornsby . His staff consisted of: William D:xon. Jedd Smith, Helen Barnhart. Martha Hitchcock. Leo Baker, and Lester Murrey. Bethel McDaniel. Joke Editor, and Clinton Burdette. Business Manager, served in these capacities for both terms. Too much credit can not be given to Lorena Ward, Helen Brandeberry, Clifton Ward, and Dale Blair for their work on the paper. Lorena Ward, a post-graduate, gave unstinting!)’ of her time in an effort to cut all the stencils on time: Helen Brandeberry and Clifton Ward mimeographed all editions, and their work was well done: Dale Blair, as ad collector, never failed to have a page of ads ready to print. Betty Yagala. with her assistants, has faithfully tried to see that all subscribers received each edition of the school paper. So. as we sum up the work of The Orange and Black for this year, may we say that the students of Troy High should be proud of their paper, and suggest that they work to make it better in the years to ccrne?
