Twenty-two are all that’s left Of this same number we’ve been bereft And just because our class is small Is no reason we can do nothing at all. Many activities have been entered in And if we didn't do our best twould be a sin. In '29 the first burst of steam Lennie and Ward on the debating team. Our class was represented in another fete. The well-known Field and Oratorical Meet Page this year plays basket-ball. But wait! wait! wait! that’s not all, Each Orange and Black we've helped to get done. Now, say, folks, haven't we had fun? Page has the president's chair Which Bill occupies when Page's not there: Grace records the meetings, every one. And Ethel's the girl who keeps the mon. Mr. Kinzig sees that things go right And Grace has the Class History to write. Our flower's the White Carnation, our emblem's purple and gold. “Scientia est Potentia,” is our motto old. Though the hours seem long and weary; Though the days be dark and dreary And the world outside reminds us No more of us must go astray. But try to learn more every day. The elder’s life is not a rainbow As the youth will deem it so. Now the time has come to ponder, To which, to long for, and to wonder. Of the Hidden Future just ahead When another year has swiftly sped, And the Beaming Present’s left behind To leave its imprint on each one’s mind.

Three of our members left, leaving thirty-six in the class at the end of the year. Three of our members participated in the Jenkins' Letter Writing Contest, taking first, second, and ninth places in the County. During the summer a few of our members changed their minds concerning school, and upon entering our Sophomore year we found that just thirty-two members had returned. Our class has been well represented in basketball, orchestra and chorus. Several members took part in the operetta. “On Plymouth Rock.” which was given by the music department at Thanksgiving.

But as this year stumbled by we have gained not only knowledge but also the Trojan customs, and now we feel quite settled and maybe a bit superior—eh? We are normal, though, so hear what we have done. According to the old Trojan custom at the first of the year we organized and elected officers to lead us on during the year. We had a very suitable person for our Chief Executive and we used common sense and elected him. Orrin Bailey. In his cabinet are: Vice-president. James Walter McLaren. Jr.: Sec- retary-Treasurer. Elinorc Hitchcock: Historian. Gladys Randolph: and the class advisor is Mr. Cole. After we started the cog wheel we had a wiener roast on November 10 and had one of those good times that only Freshmen can have. Then one day at our first Pep Meeting one of us, Elinore Hitchcock, was elected cheer leader for the school. But best of all, our president won two medals in the Vocational Agriculture Speaking Contest—one for winning the District and one for the State. He now goes to Massachusetts to compete for the Regional medal and after gaining the victory there he will go to Kansas City for the National Contest. Isn't that marvelous? Several of the Freshman girls took part in an operetta, On Plymouth Rock,” given by the Music Students, at Thanksgiving time. A few of the girls are playing basketball. We patronize the basketball games and use our throats to the best of our ability at pep meetings, and will try to continue the good work next year when we come back as Sophomores. 19 3 1 Twenty-seven T 0 .1 A N TTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT Extra CunrJcuIflr a of Mtuff i Ttrcnty-eiffht 1 1) 3 1 TROJAN Orrin Bailey TROY HIGH SCHOOL is proud of Orrin Bailey, a Freshman, who will represent Ohio in the North Atlantic Regional Public Speaking Contest of the Future Farmers of America at Spring-field, Massachusetts, in June. Speaking on the subject, “Why Educate for Life on the Farm.1’’’ Orrin won the right to enter the State Contest held in Columbus during Farmers’ Week, by winning over four contestants in the District meet which was held at Coolville in January. Bailey competed with eleven youths in the State contest held in February, thus making his victory more outstanding. His victory entitles Orrin to free transportation to Springfield, and the winner at the regional meet will compete in the national contest to be held in Kansas City in November. Of course. Troy is confident that Orrin will go to Kansas City—so congratulations and best wishes for future success to the student from Troy High who is making his own and his high school’s name known all over the land.

After several weeks of practice the season was opened by defeating New Marshfield. The season started out with a bang and continued so until about the middle of January. The final game of the league found Troy in fifth place. Tournament time came around on February 27 and 28. and Troy was conceded a small chance of getting anywhere. Play was started and the people soon saw that there was a dark horse in the tournament. Troy started out in the right manner by overcoming Jackson-Trimble, and continued by defeating Albany, and The Plains. They were then placed against their old rival, Stewart. The Dark Horses” started out with a bang and held the lead at the end of the half. 12-9. The Trojans started to tire and could not keep up the pace they set in the earlier part of the game. After one of the biggest and best basketball games played on the Ohio University court Stewart won the game. 24-17. Troy entered the Regional Tournament March seventh, but were defeated bv Bidwell, 23 to 25. in their first game. Two of Troy's players. “Lee” and Charlie.” received places on the “All-County Team.” Troy loses two outstandingly good players in Charles Smith and Leo Baker this year. These boys have played together on the high school team since they were Freshmen. They have been considered Troy’s scoring aces for three years. Both play exceptionally good ball on offense and defense. Both have been placed on the “All County” teams in their Sophomore. Junior, and Senior years. Also, they have been high scorers in the County Tournament for two years. Leo and Charlie have had the honor of making the “All-District” team. Cliff.” Troy’s flashy guard, also graduates this year. It was hard for the fastest man to score when Cliff was on him. Cliff did some very fine floor work, especially in the tournament. ”Cece” Hornsby played one of the forward positions on the team. Although he was ineligible the first semester he made up for this by his good playing in the last semester. This is Cecil's last year and we know we have lost a very fine player. The other forward position was split between “Roge” and Page. Both were always playing to the very best of their ability. This is Roge's” last year, but Page has another year and should show up well. Paul Chase. “Windy” Clark. “Hajjpy” Medley. “Skinny’ Berdine. Gordon O’Neill, and “Bob” Ramsburg did not get into all the games, but when they did they gave a good account of themselves. Of these. Happy.” “Windy and Paul graduate this year. Troy lost two players. Bob” Baker and Alva Harper, on account of sickness. These two boys are expected to make up for this next year, and we all know they will. To show the boys’ appreciation of the splendid coach which Troy was fortunate to have this year they take this opportunity to say that they feel they have the best coach in the county. Even though they failed to show this appreciation by working hard to win every game, they want the coach to know that he has taught them more basketball in the short time he has been here than they have ever been taught before. So here’s wishing Coach Kinzig all success in coaching future ball teams. A record of the games follows: Troy 34 _ Lodi 28 Troy 19 Marietta B.

The girls tied for third place in the County League and only a little hard luck kept them from going still higher. Of the eleven league games played the Troy lassies won eight. It is not only the number of games won. but the high type of ball and the spirit of sportsmanship displayed at all times that makes us look with pride upon our sturdy lassies and their splendid record. The two who contributed most to the team's success were Ruth and Helen. Ruth with her fine work at center, and Helen with her dazzling speed and accuracy in making pot shots, made up a rare combination of speed, accuracy, endurance, and pluck that is seldom found anywhere. Edith. Vcrginc. Louise. Virginia and Perie. with Helen and Ruth, played the forward positions. The only thing that kept them from equaling achievements of their team mates. Ruth and Helen, was that they were younger and inexperienced. All but Perie have two vears left to play and in that time should develop into brilliant players. No one who saw them in action will deny that they have made a good start. The guarding was done in a no less brilliant way by Myrtle. Blanche. Ada. Rachel and Doris. It was a great sight when the girls hit their stride. Six of these girls. Blanche. Ruth. Helen. Ada. Perie. and Myrtle, will graduate this year. It will be a loss which will be hard to replace, but with Edith. Rachel. Doris. Vcrginc. Virginia. Louise, and Doris with us next year we hope to go even further in achieving honors than we did this year. Of this we are sure, if the girls can carry over into life the same spirit of sportsmanship, united with determination to win. which they displayed in baseball, their success will be assured.

Vocational Home Economics Department THROUGH the cooperation of the Board of Education. Superintendent K. C. Ray, and the State Department, a Vocational Home Economics Department has been established in Troy High School. This course developed from the regular course in Home Economics under the supervision of Lois L. Apger. Through this department the work in Home Economics will be correlated with the activities at home and much work is expected to be accomplished. The projects will be carried on during the summer months with one-fourth unit being allowed for these. Vocational Home Economics Education has become a great branch in the field of education. It correlates the school-room work with every day home life problems. Thus the learning in the school room has been so arranged that the student will be able to use her book learning and apply it to the home. The student and also the parent benefits from this. By use of this system of education the girls will be better fitted for life after their school days. Thirty-four 19 3 1' hirst Roil’—(Left to Right)—Lester Doan. Homer Jeffers. Paul Niggemeyer.

The courses taught this year by Samuel Pailet are Animal Husbandry to Freshmen and Sophomores: Farm Engineering to Juniors and Seniors, and Farm Shop to Sophomores. Besides the all-day instruction to regular high school students, instruction is provided for adult farmers. A great many of the graduates who have taken vocational agriculture find it an invaluable asset. Projects taken this year by the boys include potatoes, strawberries, laying flocks, baby chicks, dairying, bees, and farm accounts. A Potato Growing Contest was organized. Virgil Berdine won first place: Frank Chapman: second, and Ward Hornsby, third. Other boys doing good project work are Billie Dixon. Oville Bibbee. Guy White, and Gordon O’Neill. The Troy Chapter of Future Farmers of America was very active during the past year. The cooperative organization of the chapter is again functioning this year. They have purchased seventy-three hundred pounds of certified seed potatoes for members and farmers. The Troy F. F. A. held a rat and mouse eradication contest in which 224 rats and 895 mice were killed. The chapter also sponsored a Home Beautification Contest in which 85 homes were enrolled. Vocational boys winning prizes for exhibits at the Farmers’ Institute follow: Corn. Paul Niggemeyer. second: and Omer Gorrell. third. Potatoes: first. Roger Clark: second. Frank Chapman: third. Darrell Barnhart. Apples: first. Orrin Bailey: second. Howard Oakes: third. Oville Bibbee.

The Orange and Black AGAIN The Orange and Black, the high school paper, has been successfully published every two weeks throughout the school year. This is the fourth successful year for the publication of The Orange and Black.” This year one staff published the paper throughout the year. Ada Gillilan was chosen editor-in-chief by the faculty advisor, with Grace Jeffers as her assistant. With Wendell Clark working as business manager, Clifton Ward as sports editor, Elinore Hitchcock. Bethel McDaniel, Josephine Findling, Mary Gibbs, Blanche Murrey, and Billy Dixon as reporters. Ada and Grace have had able assistance in having the paper material ready on time. Helen Brandeberry. with her assistant. Clifton Ward, have printed each edition after Mildred Bond worked hard to see that the stencils were carefully cut. Then the papers were ready for distribution by Bettie Yagala, who did her work faithfully and well. The Orange and Black” staff appreciates the hearty cooperation of all townspeople who helped to support the paper in any way. Through loyal support is the only way to make the school paper bigger and better every year. -..............................................19 3 1 - Thirty-six r R 0 .1 A N .....................................................................................

They owe a great amount of this to Harold Kinzig. coach of the high school team, and captain of the Tiger squad. We want also to thank the school board and the faculty for cooperating with us this season. The players were as follows: Carl Welling. Paul Green. Don Green. Harold Kinzig. Loyd Barr. Ralph Calaway.

They were distributed by grades as follows: First and second. 45: third and fourth, 39; fifth and sixth. 41: seventh and eighth. 24. The teachers realize that the interest pupils have shown in their work and the regularity of their attendance have been due in a large measure to cooperation of the parents with the school. For this cooperation the teachers wish to express their gratitude. Under the efficient leadership of Mrs. McFarlan the work in music has gone forward with marked success. Pupils of the four upper grades presented a T hanksgiving operetta. The toy band, made up of pupils of the first four grades, made their initial appearance that evening. Pupils of the first four grades presented a Christmas play. They were assisted by a chorus from the upper grades. Instruments for the toy band and a victrola have been purchased with receipts from the operetta.

Mary after convincing her aunt Sarah (Omah Gaston) plans to put the maid's costume on and be maid herself for dropping in unexpectedly. Bach of these characters does his best to see that his individual interests are carefully looked after, so the play concludes satisfactorily after all concerned are convinced that The Clay’s the Thing.’’ I he members of the Senior Class who did not participate in the above play will present a commencement play, the title of which had not been selected when The Trojan went to press.
