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.

 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.
