TROJAN Senior Class History The breezes still blow through the trees; the sun still shines in the sky; but we are a little older and we all hope a little wiser than that day in September, 1929, when 39 of us gathered from all over Troy Township and enrolled as Freshmen at Troy High. 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.
