PACE NINE TROJAN mmmmwmmmmmmmmmmmw HISTORT OF OF ’36 On a pleasant autumn morning of ’32 twenty-eight snappy eyed, enthusiastic children appeared along the dark corridors of Troy High, and wandered to the freshman home room where they huddled in groups, impatiently awaiting confinement. At the sound of “ting-ling-ling,” came the mad scramble for the coveted back seats. And it was just too bad; as it always is and always will be “First here, first served.” My, how reluctantly we unfortunates took front seats and eyed our teachers suspiciously. But we turned out not to be such a bad group after all. Heartily we entered into the numerous activities with a real school will and the thrills and pleasures we got from them couldn’t be counted. Three of the girls, Myrtle Kincade, Inez Brafford, and Frances Tanthorey were received on the basketball team with due appreciation. Several of our “dumb chicks” under the supervision of Mrs. Aletha McFarlan were in the quartet and chorus of the Troy Music Department. “Love Pirates of Hawaiia,” the operetta, extended its privileges to some of us and it was given triumphantly. Back again for another joyous year and there were twenty-five of us, with a new classmate, Herman Bernard. This year we had a new superintendent, Mr. Penrose. A number of us enrolled in the Glee Club, supervised by Miss Merrit. A play “Nothing But the Truth” included several of our class. “Hearts and Blossoms” was an achieving activity during our Sophomore days. Dear old Troy again and we were Juniors. We had gained two new classmates, Ruth Malone and Naomi O’Neil. The Junior play brought to light our talent. The days have passed quickly and we are Seniors. You will recognize us for we are widely known by our dignified appearance. There are twenty-three of us with one new member, Erma Jackson. Happily we all chose our subjects and activities, and are working with a steady determination. The Music Department is now working on its operetta, “The Gypsy Rover,” which includes many of our class. The title of the Senior play has not been chosen as this is printed. The Senior class officers are as follows: President ......................................... Francis Gaskins Vice President ...................................... Myrtle Kincade Secretary-Treasurer ..................................... Emma Bailey Historian .............................................. Naomi O’Neil Advisers .............................. Miss Knecht and Mr. Gardner Colors, Blue and Gold. Motto: Be Square. Flower, Rose. THE FUTURE OF THE SENIOR CLASS OF 1936 Once more a class graduates from Troy High School and we are all anxious to know their future. I therefore asked the old philosopher of life to tell me their future good fortunes and misfortunes. The old gentleman sank deeply into thought and revealed a few facts about each boy and girl. As I listen with interest this is what I hear: Russell Archer has become a great jurist. Hon. Archer still has his rosy cheeks and was married shortly after graduation to Helen LeMasters. They are both very prominent in the social world, as are their two rosy faced children. The PAGE TEN TROJAN one thing that attracted my attention mostly is that poor Russell still has a little lock of hair on the back of his head that refuses to stay in place. Helen is known for her famous short stories in different papers and magazines, and is still a very quiet, diligent person. Emma Bailey, much to the surprise of all of us, according to the old philosopher, is a graduate of Columbia University and is teaching school in New York City. She was expected to marry Glenn Weser shortly after she received her diploma from high school, but the romance finally ended. But Glenn after receiving his agricultural knowledge from Ohio State built a modern farm home near New York and is waiting patiently for Emma. The next person is Herman Bernard. You would hardly recognize him as he is six feet tall and lives in one of Hollywood's beautiful homes. Under the instruction of Mr. Gardner he has become the finest crooner of the time and can be heard over various stations. Herman has remained single, although he has broken the hearts of many girls. Sadie Blake, noted at one time for her giggling and her boy friend Jimmie, has become very sober and sedate in her later years and is doing missionary work in China. I then asked about Inez Brafford and the old philosopher had to think even more deeply. Inez is in the dairy business. She is happily married and her husband has a large dairy in Athens County. Her children go to school at Troy. You may not believe it but one of their teachers is Miss Knecht. Yes, it still is Miss Knecht. The wise elderly chap then mentioned the name of Bernard Chapman. He tells me that Bones is connected with a large hospital. The first thing that enters my mind is that Bernard has become a doctor. But the philosopher said that Chapman has completed a course of “mopology under Mr. Joe Baker, and is doing a good job of it on the hospital floors. A great actress now appears. Everywhere the old philosopher sees posters and advertisements with a picture of a beautiful girl. Whv the girl is Gertrude Deeter! Mr. Davies is seen in the picture. I am told that he is her manager. Gert and Okey’s friendship ended after twelve years of happy adventures. And now the universally known actress, Gertrude Deeter, and her manager refuse to remember their old friends at Coolville. At last Professor Penrose's dream has come true. One of his beloved students graduated from West Point. During his education there Francis Gaskins was an all American football star. Leon White has become a daring airship pilot and keeps Mary Jo worried continually as he takes many chances with his ship and is the wonder of the nation. Glenn Sharp is a prominent American golfer. But as yet he has not equaled the records of Bobby Jones, or McDonald Smith. Clyde Stout has recently opened a large department store in the Swearingen Square in Lidy. The public thinks Clyde is the boss but Clyde thinks differently, as his wife is continually in the store. Erma Jackson is head sales lady in White’s store in Coolville and lives across the street. Glenn Gaston has decided to follow in his father’s footsteps. So after he finished college a large poultry house was built, and Glenn married one of the neighbor girls. Victor Russell, as the result of hard labor, has become boss of the section gang. But at home Mary Lou is boss over master and children. Dorothy Pierce is doing quite well in her drv cleaning plant on Rock Street. while the main office is in Athens on West State Street. Paul McDonald is now mayor of Coolville. Although you will never believe it the once famous couple. Myrtle Kincade and Frank Jones, have parted and Myrtle has become the wife of the honorable mayor. Alene Scott won a scholarship from art school and is in Paris studying art. Mary Johnson refuses to have anything to do with the boys and is hostess on an airship. She has many exciting adventures. It was seen recently in the papers that Mrs. George Williams flew on her ship. A red headed girl next appears with a naval officer. Oh, you know who that is, without asking. There are two small children with them. They have auburn hair, too. And last, the poor author of this, R. M.. has settled down in Coolville and under the supervision of Mr. Thompson, the principal of Troy, has become one of the most efficient teachers of the school. i PAGE ELEVEN TROJAN Gerald Bibbee Mary Lou Wolf Clyde White Ada Deeter Basketball 1, 2, 3; Annual Staff 3; Basketball Mgr. 3; Basketball 2. 3; Baseball 2; Treasurer 2; F.

Everyone, of course, thought we were green and dumb but we started right away to take part in the school activities. Several of our boys and girls were on the basketball team and they did very well. We attended our first high school weiner roast which was held in Shanks’ meadow. As Sophomores, we were again well represented on the basketball team. We held another weiner roast, this time with the Freshmen on the Fair ground. This year we entered the high school with an enrollment of twenty-three. We have seven boys and four girls on the basketball teams, who have been very successful this year. We gave a play of three acts, on December the eleventh, which was called “Headstrong Joan.’’ Several of the Juniors participated in this. They were: Orval Webb, Mary Lou Wolf, Clarence Deeter, Juanita Blue, Ada Deeter, Clyde White, Gladys Hall, Carl Calloway, Pauline Goodwin, and Homer McDonald. The proceeds from the play were used to help in the publication of this book as the Junior and Senior classes together publish the book every two years. The editor from the Junior class is Juanita Blue, with the other members doing their share toward the publication. The Music Department is now practicing for the operetta, “The Gypsy Rover,” which will include several members of the Junior class. Officers of the class of 1937 : President ...................

Mr. Davies TROJAN Imuwhuuj LOCKING IINT'O THE riJTILKC oir TEE JPUN 1012 OLAJJ One afternoon as I was walking down Broadway in New York I happened to see a funny little shop with a sign in the window which read What the Future Reveals.” Thinking of my high school days I wondered what had become of the members of the class with wnich I had graduated in '37. I went into the shop. An old man with long whiskers sat in front of a large crystal ball. I asked him to show me what had become of my classmates. He aid not answer but motioned for me to look into the crystal ball. When I looked I could see nothing, but slowly a picture began to take iorm. I soon made out Gerald Bibbee. He was happily married to Genevieve Scott and they owned the largest dairy farm in Ohio. As that picture faded I saw Pauline Goodwin, a prim old maid, teaching in a country school. I next saw Boyd Jeffers the leading clown in a three-ring circus. Then lo, and behold, I saw before me Ada Deeter and Homer McDonald happily wed and living on a farm on Cincinnati Ridge. Across the hill not far away lrom them I saw the cottage of Thelma Pullins and Margaret Cubbison, two old maids, who lived in complete solitude. Next I saw Eleanor McDaniel the manager of a swanky dress shop in Parkersburg. I could hardly believe my eyes at the picture that now came into view. Orval Webb was starring in a moving picture in Hollywood. The picture was directed by Mary Lou Wolf. As that scene faded Carl Calloway came into view. He was dancing instructor in a children’s dancing school. Next I saw Wilbur Dixon, head waiter in a French Cafe, of which Alvin Blake was the owner. Then to my great surprise there was Clarence Deeter, a candidate for mayor of New York. I next saw Juanita Blue. You would hardly have known her as she had lost her slender figure, now weighing around two hundred pounds. She was married to Gerald Eppling and they were living on a farm. Gladys Hall was the next person. 1 saw she was working in a beauty parlor in Tuppers Plains. The picture faded and for a while I thought that was all that remained of my old school mates. But just as I was about to turn away the pictures of Doreen Martin and Kenneth Russell appeared. Kenneth was the leader of a popular dance orchestra and Doreen was the featured singer. Then as everyone expected I saw Don Deeter coaching the basketball team at Yale. The next picture was that of a sheep ranch. The owners were none other than Charles Scott and Marven Barnhart. As that picture faded I saw Clyde White aboard his yacht returning from a trip around the world. He was one of the most famous speedboat racers of the time. Olive McNickle appeared next. She was a waitress in a Chicago night club. The picture soon faded and the crystal ball became clear once more. I turned and thanked the old man. Once more he did not answer but merely shook his head. I paid him and went happily on my way.

PAQE EIGHTEEN ifirnWAWiiiWOT TROJAN . .. P TW© YEAIRS WITH THE S© IP El ©M© © ES In September, 1934, forty-five new and eager faces were seen in the Freshman room at Troy High School. This year forty returned for the Sophomore year. We elected as our officers: Fred Swearingen, president; Meriam Bingman, vice president: Alberta Russell, secretary-treasurer; Mary Jo Amsbary, historian; Mr. Thompson, adviser. Last year we won many high places in the scholastic tests in the county. They were: English, Meriam Bingham and Hulda Depoy; Algebra, Fred Swearingen, Lois Clark: Science, Reta Montle, Charles Campbell; Latin, George Dewees and Daisy Murphy. P Basketball was also included in our schedule. Beth Walden, Mary Jo Amsbary, Evelyn White, Lois Clark, Mary Gaskins, Alice Cole, Alberta Russell. Reta Montle, Helen Gillilan and Hulda Depoy; Russell Daugherty, Charles Bingman, Herman Castle, Paul Gordon, Paul Mills, Carl Williams, and Fred Swearingen were on the ball squads. In track we were represented by Mary Jo Amsbary, Hulda Depoy, and Carl Williams. Our baseball and kittenball teams were glad to have Carl Williams, Fred Swearingen and Russell Daugherty as participants. Mary Jo Amsbary. Beth Walden, Evelyn White, Charles Bingman, James Bowermaster, Howard Chapman, Paul Gordon and Paul Mills were all in the operetta “Miss Cherry Blossom’’. Four of our class were members of the cast of “Daddy Long Legs” a play given by the Public Speaking Class. They were Meriam Bingman, Daisy Murphy, Fred Swearingen, and Helen Gillilan. Many of our class are members of the F. H. A. and F. F. A. We think we have made rapid progress in the two years we have been in Troy High School. IEIJT©Cy ©IF TEE FRESHMAN Cl All On September the eighth, in the year of our Lord nineteen hundred and thirty-five, thirty-four green Freshmen crept through the portals of Troy High School to embark upon a voyage on the good ship knowledge. Since then we have secured four more, making the total thirty-nine. We have learned by applying ourselves and our marks are on the increase, closing the first half year with an B average for the class. At our first class meeting we elected the most capable members to guide us throughout the year. They are as follows: President. Donald Wolf; Vice President, Keith Brandeberry; Secretary. Lillian Reed; Treasurer, William Malone: Historian, Doris Deeter; Adviser, Mr. Hoover. We are noted not only for our scholastic ability but for our ability to carry and defend the colors. Orange and Black, in athletic meets. Doris Deeter and Hazel Smith were members of the basketball squad, while Winifred Travis, Lillian Reed, Mary Willett. Eloise Nickoson, Fae White and Marjorie Blake were out for practice. Paul Kennedy and William Malone were out for practice with the boys’ squad. The upper classmen think that we are too small for track, but last year we competed with the county teams in track, and rated as follows: Boys 50 yard dash, fourth; girls’ basketball throw, third; and boys’ relay, second. So we have hopes of helping Troy to further track honors. PAGE NINETEEN TROJAN PAGE TWENTY TROJAN TROT GRADES The first and second grades at Troy, taught by Mrs, Laura Guilder, had an enrollment of forty-nine pupils, twenty-six being in the first grade, and twenty-three in the second grade. There has been good attendance. The percentage of attendance to the month of March has ranged from mneiy-four to ninety-nine. Light pupils have perfect attendance to tne nrst of March. Tney are: Juanita chapman, Eileen Henderson. Edward Russell anu Margaret Wasnburn in tne nrst grade, and Barbara Chapman, Myrle Griffin, Wayne Hetzer, and Willard Brandeoerry, in tne second graoe. The pupils in this room participated with the other grades in programs for Farmers' institute and chistmas. When school began in September there was an enrollment of fifty-three pupils in the third and fourth grades, taught by Mrs. Dodd. The fourth grade pupils were sent to Mr. Calloway s room leaving an enrollment of forty-three in the third and fourth grade room. The percentage of attendance for the first semester was ninety-four. Pupils with perfect attendance were: Kathleen Bond, Pauline Cole, Howard English, Clarice Humphrey, Richard Shumway, Bernice Richardson, and Hiima Smith. The pupils in the third and fourth grades cooperated with the other grade pupils in programs for Farmers’ Institute and Christmas. The fifth and sixth grades, taught by Margaret Conklin, have an enrollment of 48 for this year. There are ly in tne filth graoe and 29 in the sixth. Some departmental work is being done. Mr. Strickler teaches the history classes; he aiso teaches three sixth graoe classes. Miss Conklin has the eighth grade geography and science. The boys and girls, aside from their regular work, sang for the Farmers’ Institute and took part in the Christmas program which was presented by the grades. Students who were on the Honor Roll for the first semester are: Frances Blake, Ruth Brandeberry, Laura Deeter, Ruth Dixon, Stanley Galbreath, Rachel Humphrey, Glen Rardin, and Helen Travis. The following pupils had perfect attendance records for the first semester: Frances Blake, Julian Bond, Ruth Brandeberry, Howard Cole, Ira Crawford, Virginia Deeter, John Dixon, Hobart Dodderer, Stanley Galbreath, Milford Griffin, Eileen Kennedy, Naomi Kennedy, Glen Rardin, Marvin Shumway, and Dorothy Skeels. The work in the upper grades of the Coolville School for the year 1935-1936 was divided among Miss Conklin, Mrs. Williams. Mr. Calloway, and Mr. Strickler. Because of the large number of pupils enrolled it was necessary to seat the seventh and eighth grades in different rooms. Work was made rather difficult by the interruption caused by the closing of school for four weeks because of bad weather. The teachers wisn to thank the Board of Education and the patrons of the school for their cooperation in making the year a successful one. As part of their work in physical education the boys organized a basketball team with Mr. Calloway as coach. The team was victorious in 7 of the 9 games played. This marked the first year that the grades organized a basketball team and played a regular schedule. The first team was composed of the following: Kenneth Crislip and Loris McKinney, forwards; William Wines, center; James Deeter and Russell Shanks, guards. Lowell Green and Dale Cole were the substitutes, and although they did not play in every game they showed up brilliantly when given the opportunity. During the regular season the team had six victories to its credit out of seven games played, its only defeat being at the hands or the Amesville freshman team. In the Junior High Tournament at Marietta the boys won their way into the second round of play by defeating Vincent. In the second game they were defeated by Pennsboro after leading throughout the first half. The scores for the games played are as follows: Rome 2. Troy 7; Rose Hill 3, Troy 12; Chester 12, Troy 15; Amesville 8, Troy 0; Rose Hill 9, Troy 11; Rome 6, Troy 22; Vincent 11, Troy 14; Pennsboro 32. Troy 13; Chester 15, Troy 22. PAGE TWENTY-ONE TROJAN TROJAN HU croReii The primary grades, taught by Frances Runyon, opened September 3, with an enrollment of 19. Those having perfect attendance for the first semester were: Christopher MacDonald, Thelma Baker, Madge Russell and James Simmons. We have had many interesting activities during the year, including a Hallowe’en party, making Christmas gifts for mothers, and a Christmas program. The P. T. C. have finished their wall and grading of the school ground, which has been a very great improvement. The advanced room of the Torch school commenced work on September third for a nine months’ term. Nineteen pupils enrolled the first day and all were attending school at the end of the first semester. The eighth grade is composed of eight pupils, five boys and three girls. At the end of the year they will be up for promotion to high school. The seventh grade has made the fine record of no one absent nor tardy during the first semester. There are two boys and two girls in this class. Three girls compose the sixth grade and the fifth grade is equally divided with two boys and two girls. Attendance has been better than usual in all grades and tardy marks are rare. During the summer vacation the interior of the school room was painted, the school furniture was varnished and the grounds were greatly improved. Credit for these improvements is due the Parent Teachers’ Club and the Athens County Relief Organization. HCCMNGPORT The Primary Room at Hockingport, taught by Mary Davis, had a total enrollment of thirty-six for the year. This is the largest enrollment for several years. Eight children had a perfect attendance for the first semester. They were: Jack Kennedy, Virginia McCullick, Freda Hall, Emmett Blake, Hilda Blake, Billy Uhl. Dorothy Uhl, and Thelma Snider. Three others missed less than a day. At Christmas time, all the children participated in the program given by the school. Everyone appreciates the instruction of the music teacher, Mrs. Williams, especially when a program is being prepared. Twenty pupils were enrolled in the upper grades, taught by Kenneth Gillilan, when school opened in September. This school year was the first year for the State to furnish text books for the pupils. There were several changes in the text books that were selected, with an additional science text book for the seventh and eighth grades. The pupils think that the new books are much more interesting than the ones used during the previous years. There are five pupils in the eighth grade. They are: Ruth White, Walker Norman, June Medley, Story Blake, and Bertha Snider. TROY SEVENTH AND EIGHTH GRADES First Row (Left to Right)—Lowell Green, Kenneth Crislip.

PAGE TWENTY-SIX TROJAN lhVcY ' BASKETBALL, The basketball season for the Troy team was one of close games in most cases, the losses being the results of games where our boys could as easily have been the better team regardless of the score. Under the leadership of Captain Don Deeter the team played a hard schedule and handled all opposition with ability that ranked them high in county rating. It is perhaps outstanding that Troy defeated Belpre and Stewart, two or our school rivals, for the first time in several years. The team showed more development from last year’s strength than any team of the county, coming from the cellar position of last year to outstanding threat of the county for this year. In the county tournament of February 26-29, the Troy team very easily defeated New Marshfield by 32-7. The next night in playing Buchtel, the boys were in the depth of poor luck and had to lose to a poorer team 20-14. This year, a tournament threat; next year a favored team to bring home the trophy. the first team will be lost. New Marshfield 21 Belpre . . Plains . . Chesterhill Chester . . Belpre . .

But due to illness of several members of the squad the team weakened, and, although they fought hard they usually came out just a little behind their opponents. The positions of the team were filled by the following: Center. Ruth Malone; right forward, Myrtle Kincade: left forward. Mary Lou Wolfe; right guard, Gertrude Deeter; left guard. Ada Deeter; and center guard, Inez Brafford. The substitutes who were used a great deal were Erma Jackson, Alberta Russell. Doris Deeter, and Mary Jo Amsbary. These girls all played hard and deserve especial mention for their efforts. The team loses five of its first team by graduation. They are Deeter, Brafford, Malone, Kincade and Jackson. It is needless to say that these girls will be missed, but the coming team looks very promising. To look at the score book one does not feel the thrill of consecutive victories but we all know that “when the great scorer comes to write against your name, it will not be, ‘Did you win or lose?’ but 'How did you play the game?’ ” We. therefore. feel that our girls’ team was a success. The two players who made the most points during the season were two Seniors, Kincade with 94 Doints. and Malone with 62 points. The scores are as follows: _________________________ Troy......■ Troy..... Troy..... Troy.....

In the last two years Troy lost one game and that one was lost to Hollister by a score of 2 to 1. The team consisted of Weser. center field: White, right field; Stout, catcher; Don Deeter. short stop; C. Deeter, left field: Daugherty, second base; Calloway, first base; Williams, third base: Swearingen, right s. stoD: Bibbee, Ditcher. The two substitutes were V. Russell and H. McDonald. Four players are Seniors: Stout. White, Weser, and Russell. They will be replaced by very capable material next season. The softball team will be revised into a baseball team this spring with the same line-up.

TROJAN V©CATII D N A IL HCME ECCNC HICS DEPARTMENT The Vocational Home Economics Department of Troy High School has had an unusually large enrollment for the past two years, thirty-five girls being enrolled in the Freshman and Sophomore groups for the school year 1934, and forty-eight girls being enrolled in Freshman, Sopnomore and advanced group for the school year 1935. The F. H. A. was organized November 29, 1934, and the following officers were elected: President, Norma Wyer; Vice President, Ada Deeter; Secretary, Ora Barnhart; Treasurer, Juanita Blue; Historian, Edythe Sheets: and Adviser, Mrs. Olive Parrish. The traditional colors of the club are gold and white. The outstanding social activity during the year 1934 was the spring Chop Suey Supper and the Style Review sponsored by the F. H. A. The profits from the Chop Suey Supper were used to purchase pins for the twenty-eight members of the Little Women” degree. The F. H. A. officers for this year are: President, Mary Gaskins; Vice Presi- dent, Reta Montle; Secretary, Mary Jo Amsbary; Treasurer, Alberta Russell; Historian, Meriam Bingman. Lois Clark was elected to succeed Meriam when she became an associate member of the club. The F. F. A. and the F. H. A. held a joint oyster supper which was very successful. The profits were divided by the organizations. The Home Economics Department was presented with two electric clocks by the F. H. A. In 1934 and 1935 the girls exhibited at the Ohio State Junior Fair, and were awarded fifth and eighth place respectively. For the past two years several students from our department have been guests of the Ohio University Department of Home Economics. The days were spent in visiting the campus and viewing many educational exhibits prepared by the students. The Home Economics Department has been cooperating with other departments within the school system as well as community organizations, such as Farmers’ Institute and the Fruit Growers' Association. VDCAT II € N aV IL aVG IL IIC ElII T U IL IE DEPARTMENT The Troy Vocational Agriculture Department is now in its ninth year with an enrollment of 35 students studying vocational agriculture and carrying projects on their home farms. The courses are taught by our new instructor, Mr. Hoover. Mr. Hoover came to this school January 1, 1935. The courses taught this year are: Freshmen and Sophomores, “Farm Crops;’’ Seniors and Juniors, ‘‘Soil and Farm Management; to those enrolled, “Farm Shop.’’ Some of the things which are stressed most are better animals and seed, along with better care and management of them. Evening instruction is being given to a group of young men in Farm Shop. The projects carried by the boys are varied to meet the home requirements. Some of the projects are: Potatoes, poultry, chicks, dairy cattle, swine, sheep, corn, wheat, and truck crops. One of the objectives of these projects is to raise the cash income. The Troy F. F. A. has for President, Fred Swearingen; Vice President, Glenn Gaston; and Reporter, Paul Gordon. The annual Pest Eradication has already been held. Some of the pests included in the contest were: Rats, mice, sparrows, crows, starling, and hawks. Brice Chapman won with 1870 points. The Future Farmers put on a demonstration at the local Farmers’ Institute. Maxwell Bailey competed in the District Public Speaking Contest and secured third place. mummwnWMWWWMWWWMWtWWWWWt m PAGE TWENTY-NINE � -NS ii TROJAN MUSIC DEPARTMENT First Row (Left to Right) —Ross Nickoson, Wilbur Dixon, Glenn Gaston, Francis Gaskins, Paul Gordon, Keith Brandeberry, Kenneth Russell.

MUSIC IS IN THE AIR i The interest in music in our high school has grown remarkably during the past two years. As a result, we have two splendid Glee Clubs, composed of 91 of the 135 enrolled students. From these two groups several special groups have been formed to entertain us at our school plays, assemblies. Farmers’ Institute, etc. Last year the clubs sponsored and gave a very successful operetta Miss Cherry Blossom.” This year we did equally well in the production of Gypsy Rover.” We have been capably represented in all County and Southeastern musical festivals and enterprises. Inez Brafford. Dorothy Pierce. Francis Gaskins, and Clyde Stout represented our school at the Southeastern Festival held in Athens. April 17. 1936. Our vocal music department, which is considered one of the leading departments in the school, is under the direction of Mrs. Florine Williams. Instruction is available on any instrument of the orchestra, under the direction of Mr. Raymond Connett, the immediate objective being the development of a good school orchestra. • This year a beginning group and an advanced group are studying violin. A group of both grade and high school pupils are in the guitar class. The orchestra is small this year as many of our music students graduated last year. Its present size, however, does not prevent its being able to play both marches and orchestra novelties including several numbers of the popular type, such as ‘‘The Music Goes Round and Round.” Several new players are entering a second orchestra and there is a class for cornet and for guitar.

WHO’S WHO ISM RASKBTR.ALT Captain Deeter— Don” played a steady reliable game, handling the team In a manner that left no irregularities for the opponents. Forward position. Fast. It was the capable leadership of Don that maae the boys play as a team. He was always ready for any emergency, the master of any circumstances, and to him must go the credit for the team work. Bernard Chapman—This is the first and last year for Bones.” His rangy size was of great value. We’ll miss “Bones” a great deal next year. As forward and substitute center he played a full season, taxing the team out of many a bad spot. Carl Williams— Slick” is one of the best centers of the county. A defensive or offensive player, he always held his man practically scoreless and made more than his share of points. To “Slick” went a great deal of responsibility and he could always be depended on to do his share. Gerald Bibbee—Small, fast, and always where he was needed, Bibbee gave the team all he had and that was plenty. A guard that holds down his opponent and yet ranks near the top in team scoring—that's Bibbee. His passing and shooting makes his place hard to fill. Carl Calloway— Cardy,” a guard in every sense of the word, allows very few men to go by. Big, but not the fastest man on his feet, Cardy made his arms and head do better work than most guards can account for. Russell Daugherty— Punk” saw a good deal of action at forward this year. Small, clever, and a good shot, Punk could always be trusted to fill his position when put in any game. Herman Castie—Substitute sophomore guard. Always steady and capable. Victor Russell—A senior, Vic saw his last year of action at guard. Orval Webb—A junior, and new at the game, Webb will see much of the game next year. Big, fast and aggressive. Homer McDonald—Substitute junior forward. Mac can look to colorful future for Troy. Boyd Jeffers—Substitute junior guard.

It is about seventeen miles from Parkersburg and twenty-four miles from Athens, on U. S. Route 50 South and State Route 7. The first mill was probably about a mile up the river on Skunk Run Creek near the mouth. Lodi township brought its grain to Coolville to be ground until 1815 when a mill was built there. In 1797 Asahel Cooley, Sr„ came, from near Springfield, Massachusetts, to what is now Carthage Township. He was the first white settler there. In 1814 two of his sons, Simeon W. and Heman, came to Coolville. In 1815 Simeon built the first mill directly in Coolville. In 1818 he laid the town out and in 1835 it was incorporated. The first merchant, Mr. John Frame, came to Coolville in 1835. He started selling merchandise in 1840. The first physician, Dr. John Pratt, came from Schuyler County, New York, in 1835. In 1838 the name was changed to Hocking City. It remained under this name until 1859 when it was changed back to Coolville. The Coolville Seminary was built by the Methodist Church in 1851. In 1854 it was rented as a select school. This lasted until 1872. From that time until the big school building at Coolville was built in 1886, it was used for such classes as did not have room in the smaller schools. It is now used as a Grange Hall. The Coolville Lodges are the Masons. Modern Woodmen, Grange, and Odd Fellows. The Masons were instituted February, 1861, and received their charter in October. 1861. The Grange started in 1874. I. O. O. F. in 1875, and the Modern Woodmen in June, 1906. There was a fair held in Coolville for about three vears prior to 1898. In 1898 they held a fair at what is called the Coolville Fair Grounds about mid-way between Torch and Coolville. They held fairs there until 1912. After that the grounds were used as a ball park. The last business of the fair board was to donate the balance of $131. received from sale of grounds, to the Coolville Farmers’ Institute. This meeting was held January 18, 1936. Coolville’s means of transportation are: The B. O. Railroad, and the busses. The B. O. Railroad was built from Canaanville to Belpre in 1874. Its nearest station is at Latrobe, or Coolville Station as it is better known. 2 miles north. The Grevhound busses pass through Coolville on their wav from Washington to St. Louis and Parkersburg to Huntington. The nearest airports are at Parkersburg and Athens. The Coolville Camp Meeting was started in about 1881. They have had a meeting every year since. So many people wished to come that the railroads ran special trains and excursions to the meeting on Sundays. The elder people sav that the roads were crowded with people on Sundays, that a person could hardlv find room to walk, and that it was next to impossible to get a way to ride without waiting for hours. The meetings are still held, but they do not attract as many people as formerly. A few historical places near are: Underground Stations, at Nigger Run Cave and on the Dunfee Place, where Billee Doan, who was one of the conductors, lived: the Fort Gower at Hockingoort. where Dunmore built it and also wh� re Washington landed: several mounds around Coolville, believed to be made by the Shawnee Indians as burial grounds. The population of Coolville is 475 and the altitude is between 694 and 700 feet. Coolville has an uneven temperature, some nights seeing a drop of 40 or more. The maximum temperature is about 100’ while the minimum is about 20' below zero. The normal rainfall is about 42 inches. Coolville has one hotel. The Gibson Hotel and Restaurant. Their rates are $1.00 per night or $2.00 for room and board. They can accommodate about 18 persons and 5 or 6 cars. The oldest citizen of Coolville is Alexander Caldwell. His father came directly from Ireland before Alexander was born in 1847. He can remember his brother Jim going west in about 1859 or 1860. He said that his brother told of the trio, of the Indians attacking the wagon train, and of hunting trips. There were about 400 in that group. The people are mostly of Anglo-Saxon origin. The first settlers were mostly from New England and Virginia. There is one negro family here. The older houses are of New England and Eastern Colonial architecture. Coolville’s favorite recreations are basketball and baseball. Swimming, skating, track and almost any other sport is given at least a try. The industries are milling, merchandising and agriculture. The Coolville school provides a place for the high school students of Troy and Carthage townships and for the grades of Coolville and vicinitv. (Note—The dates of the incorporation of Coolville. changing of name from Coolville to Hocking City and back to Coolville are not the same as those used in Walkers History of Athens County. All the information came from Walker’s History of Athens Countv. City records. Mr. John McLaughlin. Mr. Alexander Caldwell, Mrs. Hoobler and Mrs. Barth.
