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. PACT FIFTEEN

TROJAN msTCcr cr the clam cr ■ We are the Seniors of 1937. Three years ago we entered Troy with an enrollment of thirty-six members. 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 ...................
