T R 0 .1 Sophomore CJass History IN September, 1929, the same year that Mr. Ray came here as our new principal. thirty-nine of us enrolled at Troy High School as Freshies. 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. At the beginning of the school year the following officers were elected: President .Edna Buckley Vice President ..Doris Brandeberry Secretary Josephine Findling Treasurer Roberta Humphrey Class Historian............................ Roberta Humphrey Class Advisor ................................ — Mr. Pailet Class Colors .................................... Red and Gold Class Flower .........................................Red Rose Class Motto Make the good better, and the better best.” 1 9 3 1 - Twenty-five

TROJAN Freshman Class History BELIEVE it or not but this is the Freshman class of nineteen-thirty-one. who. like all our predecessors were green and had that awkward Iresh man ability to stumble around and poke our heads into doors and find our classes. 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
