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

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.
