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.

...........T R O .1 A N...............— Troy Boys' Basketball Record 1930-1931 THE call for basketball last fall was answered by twenty-five candidates. 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.
