TroToWnship Board, of Education The students, the teachers, and the people of the community realize that in order to have a good school we must have, first of all, reliable men to represent them on the Board of Education. Troy Township has been fortunate to have on its Board of Education, men who are representative of the community, who have the best interests of' the school and the community at heart, and who always work for the attainment of these interests. We feel that we have good schools in Troy Township, and we take this opportunity to show our appreciation for these schools to the Board of Education. 8 ■ — I- CLASSES TROJAN OVILLE BIBBEE (Bibbee) “A mind not to be changed by place or time.” Class President. 3-4 F.

During the four years many of our class participated in different activities. As Freshmen, the Jenkins' Letter boniest was entered by three of our members. Mary Oilman took rirst place, Koberta Humphrey, second, and Blanche cake, ninth prize in the county. We had some good players on both the boys' and girls' basketDall teams. When we returned the second year, to our sorrow, we found that just 32 of our members had returned to share the joys, sorrows, and smiles oi scnooi liie. Again we were well represented in various activities, as basketball, orchestra, and cnorus. Several memDers look part in tne operetta, On Hiymoutn Hock,” which was given by the music department at Thanksgiving. upon meeting to start our Junior year we found three members preferred other activities to scnooi life, thus leaving us 2a laithiul members. But during' me year three more preierred otner associations man ours, and we naa omy 2o of our classmates left to climb the third hm to success ano happiness, nut my, we had lots oi iun. The boys' baskeman team nau tnree memoers uom our ciass, and six giris were on their squao. a large numDer from our ciass neipeu witn me school paper, The Orange and Black. We also had a Junior play wmcn was a great success. Several faces were missing from our class, when we returned to take upon ourselves the responsibility of Seniors. Virginia and Doris Crandall, Lucille Marshall, and Hoy Brandeberry are attending Beipre High School this year. Alva Harper is attending school at Toledo. Dons Branueoerry is attending school at Stewart. We were glad to welcome Helen Hoot, wno came to us from Mew Marshfield, thus giving us tne popular number of 23. We had a Hallowe’en Carnival which was just loads of fun and was a great success. We also had a Senior play. There are lour girls playing basketball. and five boys. We are all very prouu or Rutn McBride, a t-H Club member, who cook first place in the County, and second place in tne State Fair Style Heview. We are well represented in orcnestra and cnorus. The Seniors, so they will look more dignified, and as Seniors should Iook, are going to wear caps and gowns this year for the Commencement activities. As Seniors we feel serious as our goal is in sight, and none of us want to miss it. As we are leaving this year we begin to feel we have been benefitted very much by our association with the teachers and students of Troy High. What fond memories we snail Keep of our school days! We await eagerly for Commencement and a chance to embark upon life’s journey. We eacn bear in mind the motto which we took when we were Freshmen, Make the good better and the better best.” We hope we shall all bring honor to our deaf Alma Mater. i 1 Class Officers President ...............................................................

But we could not find our classes So they chased us here and there While the Seniors grinned wnn pleasure And the teacners would declare: “Never in our lives have we seen Just the likes of you today, Try the next room, get your books now! You are here to work, not play!’’ Then as Sophomores we copied 'Neath the teacher s watchtul eye And we still found time for laughter As the happy days sped by. So with worx and with our study Changes in us all are seen But we leave just as we found it Freedom there to be as green. So again as smiling Juniors We aj-e gathered at Troy High. Many truths we’re daily learning— Truths we need as years go by. And the memories of our teachers Ne’er will be beyond recall— How they lectured in the class room How they watched us in the hall. Once again, this time as Seniors, All as busy as can be; Many in our class have left us Now we have just twenty-three. So with school days, happy friendships, Cherished ever in our hearts, And diplomas held so proudly. With great wisdom we depart. —Roberta Humphrey Faiewell, School Dags! School days for our class are ended, Happy days at dear Troy High, With our happiness is mingled The suggestion of a sigh. We have studied long and labored But our work was not in vain For the goal that’s worth achieving We must labor to attain. Other students soon must follow And our places they will fill. But within the Senior class room— All is quiet now, and still. —Roberta Humphrey.

The games this year were limited to the County League. The team members had had very little action under fire and as a result had a bad start. If several of the earlier games could have been won the season undoubtedly would have been different. The boys kept plugging right along, trying hard to get on the right side of the score. In about the middle of the season the team started to snap out of it. In the tough games it seemed as if the boys looked the best. Towards the latter part of the season they started to make use of their experiences and win. On the whole the season was not very successful as far as winning games was concerned but the boys played the best that they could.

The squad was composed of thirteen girls, eight of whom were experienced players, having Dlayed on last year’s squad. The girls played hard, and tried to put their scores on the winning side, ,but it seemed as if luck was against them when it came to making the “buckets” count. Pauline Russell. Myrtle Kincade, Mabel Calaway, Doris Bond, Louise Ward, and Rachel McDonald took care of the scoring territory. The defense territory was taken care of by Grace Russell. Erma Russell. Fern Medley, Liddie Wildman, Josephine Findling, Inez Braftord and Frances Tanthorey. Four of the girls. Pauline, Grace, Josephine, and Rachel, have worn the “Orange and Black” for the last time this year.

Only four of the thirty-nine games played to date have been lost by the Tigers, and those were by very small margins. Then, the Tigers showed their “teeth by winning the Gold Medal Tournament held in Coolville last March. Under the management of Luther Brafford and John Aikens the best athletes of this vicinity have composed the independent team. Harold Kinzig, Chester 36 TROJAN r Knight, Norwood Knight, Charles Smith. Don Green. Bill Westervelt, John Sheets and Carl Welling have brought victory to the Tigers. The Gold Medal Tournament, with eleven teams from Athens, Meigs, Washington, Wood (W. Va.) counties competing, held here last March, was an outstanding success as far as Coolville was concerned. The Tigers showed their basketball ability by winning the tournament, with Co. L and the Parkersburg Creamery coming in for second and third place honors. The members of these teams received gold basketballs, while Coolville was presented with the Tournament trophy. Harold Kinzig, the Tiger captain, was awarded a Gold Honor Medal by the United States Basketball Federation for being not only the outstanding player in the tournament, but for displaying the best sportsmanship as well. The Tigers have also on their team an “All-American” basketball plaver. as Harold Kinzig was placed as a guard on the All-American Amateur Baske ball Team for 1932-1933, as announced by Wayne Emmelmann, Secretary of the Central States Amateur Independent Basketball Association. Kinzig was the only player from Ohio getting a placement. Mr. Brafford has been appointed as a member of the 1932-1933 Advisory Committee of this Central States Association.

Vocational Home Economics Department The Troy Township Home Economics Department is working under the Smith Hughes Law, which requires 150 minutes a day to be devoted to Home Economics and related subjects in segregated groups. Of the 150 minutes, 90 of these must be spent upon strictly Home Economics subjects, such as foods, textile, garment-making, dress-making, design, nutrition, house furnishing and planning, home management, laundry, family and community relationships. Forty-five minutes of this time is devoted to related chemistry and physics, physiology, sanitation, home nursing, biology, general science, and physiology. In the remaining time the students are allowed to accumulate materials for home projects which are carried during the summer months. This year the Home Economics department, under the leadership of Olive Westfall, is divided into two classes: the first year with ten pupils, and the second year with seven girls. There is also an elective group of four girls who work with the second year. The school year is also divided into two parts; the first, being the planning, serving and preparing of meals, while the latter half is devoted to the sewing unit. The second year class, aided by the first year class, has been serving a few lunches this year, but this work has not been as extensive as in former years. 38 TROJAN First Row—(Left to Right)—Victor Russell, Russell Archer, Francis Gaskins.

Vocational Agriculture Department The Vocational Agriculture Department, instructed by Mr. Pailet, included courses this year in Animal Husbandry and Farm Crops to Freshmen and Sophomores, Agricultural Engineering to Seniors, and part-time courses, formed for boys between the ages of sixteen and twenty-five, not enrolled regularly in high school. The part time course formed an organization called, “The Farmer Union,” with Francis Russell as president; William Dixon, vice president; Wendell Clark, secretary; Frank Chapman, treasurer; Ward Hornsby, publicity agent; and Paul Davis, sergeant-at-arms. This organization is instructed in Farm Shop, Poultry, and Dairying. Their aims are educational, social, and recreational. The Vocational Agriculture boys have taken as their projects the raising of swine, poultry and dairying or as Supervise Practise record and management of each. Every effort has been made this year for the students’ projects to be related to the type of farming being carried out on the home farm. The Troy F. F. A. chapter has been quite active during the year. The boys held a pest eradication contest which helped rid the farms of pests. The F. F. A. chapter recently held a local contest in Public Speaking in which George Lynch won the right to compete in the district contest held at Bartlett. The F. F. A. boys are planning to buy Certified seed potatoes cooperatively, so the student and farmer can get a good strain of potatoes cheaper than they are on the market. The agriculture boys put on a poultry demonstration at the Farmers' Institute in November. The presenters were George Lynch, Glenn Gaston and Robert Dixon. Billie Dixon won fifth place in a Swift Essay Contest in which all Vocational Agriculture boys in the United States were privileged to enter. 39 TROJAN First Row— (Left to Right)—Ethan Tilton, Ola Murphy, Francis Gaskins, Glenn Gaston, Glenn Sharp, Frank Jones, Robert Dixon, Victor Russell, Russell Archer Second Row—Dorothy Pierce, Emma Bailey, Frances Tanthorey, Myrtle Kincade, Inez Brafford, Fern Medley, Louise Ward, Doris Bond.

Proceeds were used to purchase a first-aid kit and play-ground equipment. A Christmas entertainment was also presented. The Grammar Grades, cooperating with the physical education teacher, completed a constructive health program. The fifth and sixth grades made health books; the seventh and eighth grades, nature books. Several classics were read and reviews were written. There were three promotions to high school. The Primary Grades constructed a very interesting Thanksgiving scene which included log cabins of the Pilgrims, Indian wigwams, etc. The attendance of the Hockingport School was very good considering the weather conditions and illness. Four children were not absent during the first semester, in the Primary Grades. They are Geneva McCullick, Betty Norman. Bob Parker and Clifford Snider. The Torch elementary school taught bv Wilma Green and Gladys Sheets, has an enrollment of 53, twenty-seven being in the primary grades, and twenty-six in the intermediate grades.

A basketball team, composed of George Dewees, Ralph Scarlett, Thomas Bailey. Maxwell Bailey. Kenneth Russell, Vernen Blue. Glenn Weser. and Edward Hammer played the Coolville seventh and eighth grades as a preliminary feature to an independent game. The Torch P. T. A., with Mrs. Ava Bowermaster as president, has been quite active this year. Among other progressive ventures, the P. T. A. sponsored moneymaking enterprises, the profits from which were used to purchase a piano for the school. The Troy boys’ track season for 1932 turned out to be a fairly successful one. The season was opened with a meet at Belpre in April, in which Belpre, Marietta Reserves. Amesville, Stewart and Troy competed for the honors.
