Reminiscences of the Class of 35 THREE years ago thirty-five freshmen entered Troy High. We were just as green as any of them and caused our teachers to use much of their patience. When we were freshmen our students began to participate in school activities. The operettas “Toy Toy San,” and “Cool Knights,” found freshmen in the cast. Mabel Calaway was the only one of our class to play basketball. We came back as sophomores to find that we had only twenty-eight classmates, other students preferring different schools and activities. Again as sophomores our class was well represented in the music department. Several members of the class took part in the operettas. “Oh Doctor.” and “Love Pirates of Hawaii.” Several of us also were in the high school play, “Aaron Boggs, Freshman.” One more student joined the basketball squad. Now as juniors we came back to find only twenty-four original members of our class, but we were very glad to welcome into our ranks, Zelda Hawk, who came from Jerseyville, and Roy Bush, who came from Belpre. This year we felt very honored to hold our weiner roast with the seniors. Several of our class are taking public speaking and participated in the public sneaking plav. “Nothing But the Truth.” There were several of our class in the “Peace Declamation Contest.” Zelda Hawk took second place in this county. This vear the Juniors and Seniors held a pie social after the basketball game with Carbondale in order to replenish the class treasury. Our class is still well represented in the music department with several students participating in this year’s operetta, “Hearts and Blossoms.” Mabel Calaway, Ernest Travis, and Mildred Swearingen uphold the Junior reputation on the basketball court. Practices for a junior play. “The Red Headed Stepchild,” are being held at the time of the writing of this article. The proceeds of this production will be combined with the senior funds to be used toward the publication of this book. Because of the fact that The Trojan will be published hereafter only every two years, the present junior and senior classes are responsible for the publication of this year book. The Junior Editor is Thelma Chute, and the Assistant Junior Editor is Mildred Swearingen. So because of the fact that the present Junior clsas has to extol its virtues now. and cannot include those of next year, please take careful notice of the really nice class that we are! Also, don't forget to notice that the color scheme of this annual corresponds to our class colors! So taking it all in all, we’ve told you our tale, and we hope you have enjoyed the telling.

The Window-pane of the Future AS I sat in my chair by the window, I wished it would not rain, because I wanted to attend a basketball game at my home town. The Tigers, who had on their team one of the members of the graduating class of 1935, were to play that night. I began to think of what had happened ten years ago and it came to me that I had not seen any of my classmates since we graduated from Troy High School. The rain began to fall faster and hit the window as though to attract attention. As I turned and gazed upon the window pane I saw the rain drops which were guilty of attracting attention. In these drops I saw the faces of my fellow students of 1935 and what each was doing now. This is what each raindrop said as it fell pit-pat, pit-pat, upon the window pane: Elizabeth Bailey Edward Campbell Sylvia Bailey African Missionary Noted Prize Fighter Teacher’s Wife Clair Lucas Elizabeth Hammer Chemistry Professor Advertising—Reducing Salts Thelma Chute Zelda Hawk Mabel Calaway Traveling—Baker Co Actress—Hollywood Secretary—Parkersburg Alda Barnhart Myrtle Murphy Stenographer—Akron Returned to Ireland Harold Richards Erlean Reynolds The Faculty Rich Bachelor Traveling in Europe Still Teaching Roy Bush Mildred Swearingen Bus Driver Vassar Phys Ed Coach Anita Campbell Franklin Thompson Amos Tilton Nurse—Grant Hospital Still looking for lions Owns Chicken Farm Beulah Groves Robert Dixon Happily Married Orchestra Leader Ernest Travis Manager—Pool Room Eileen Daugherty Pianist—Roxy’s Thelma Cowdery Poetess—Sailor Poems Lucy Gibbs Joe Logue Governess Chicago Famous M D PA?C FIFTEEN
