PAGE 8 THE 1938 TROJAN i7fS WJE jLOOK FjACIv Troy High School opened in the fall of 1934 with 45 new and anxious-looking students eager to start on their high school career. We had a few misgivings to be sure but we were confident that if we made an effort to do our best we would triumph in the end. As freshmen we made our presence known scholastically. Also several boys and girls from this class were on the basketball squad and a few on the track team. Some of our members were in the operetta, “ Miss Cherry Blossom. ” Forty of us returned the next year to resume our high school work. We knew what was expected of us and we endeavored to reach the goal. By the end of our sophomore year, many of us had prominent places in music and basketball activities. As juniors we progressed rapidly. Many of us were in tne operetta. Several of the girls and boys were on the basketball teams. The boys’ team was especially good this year, winning all league games. In the annual field meet held at Athens in the spring, Mary Jo Amsbary was high scorer for the girls in the county and Carl Williams was high scorer for the boys. In April we held a Junior-Senior Banquet in honor of the Seniors of 1937. We have almost reached our goal—graduation—but we regret that some of our members have been left behind. Wilda Butcher and Thelma Ashcraft joined our class this year making us a total of 28 members. Five of our members participated in the local Prince of (Peace Contest. Lois Clark was awarded first place. Now that our high school days are about over, we look back with satisfaction on our scholastic record and activity achievements. May we always cherish these days so profitably spent! Class Officers:— President ........................................... Fred Swearingen Vice President.....................................

Freddie is back in Pittsburgh and manager of the Pittsburgh Pirates. The next name was Mary Jo Amsbary. She owns a roller skating rink in Columbus, Ohio, and she is very much in love with a professional skater there. As I read on I saw that Charles Bingman has become a famous surgical doctor in Chicago. Next was Helen Gillilan. She is a nurse for this same surgical doctor in Chicago. Charles Campbell is carrying out Mr. Penrose’s wish by teaching chemistry at O. U. The sixth name I saw was that of Meriam Bingman. She, as everyone expected, is teaching English in Miss Knecht’s place at Troy. As I read on I saw that Herman Castle (ol all people) has become an artist in Paris. The next in line was Wilda Butcher. She has become a very famous singer over the radio in Cleveland. Still reading on I saw the name of Howard Chapman. Howard has become Lieutenant Governor of Ohio. The next was Lois Clark (the girl we all called Loie). Lois is married and living in Chester, Ohio. Brice Chapman, as I saw, has gone to Canada and is working in a lumber camp there. Alice Cole was next. She has become a private secretary to Mr. Penrose. Then there was the boy Mr. Gardner always called “ meetin’ house ”—no other than Harry Church. Harry is out West where he has a Ranch called the X-Bar-X. Mary Gaskins was next. She is the first Lady Governor of Ohio. As I read farther I saw the name of Russell Daugherty. Lo and behold! Russell is the private secretary of Henry Ford. He started at the bottom and climbed to the top). Thelma Ashcraft was next. She is happily married and is living in Athens, Ohio. Paul Gordon was next. He is the director of a little German band at Tuppers Plains. Then there was the name of Reta Montle. She is athletic director of girls at Buena Vista, Virginia. Then there was the name, Ralph Scarlett. He is football coach of Notre Dame. Daisy Murphy is stenographer for Mr. Gardner. Next was Carl Williams. He is general manager of Sarson’s Grocery Store in Cool-ville. Next and much to our surprise was Leora Rardin, who is a featured drummer in Paul Gordon’s Band. James Wines is president of a large trucking corporation at Little Hocking. Delcie O’Neill is happily married and living on a farm near Torch. Robert Sturm was next. He is an army officer at West Point. Evelyn White, much to our surprise, is an old maid living in Hockingport, Ohio. Then appeared the name of Howard Shanks. He is busily working in one of the large banks of Boston as cashier. I then saw the name of Beth Walden. She is an actress of wonderful ability and is traveling with one of the leading medicine shows of America. Then the last name was that of my own. It said I was teaching school at Torch.

Three years ago, 44 of us entered the Freshman Class of Troy High School. We wandered here and there trying to find oui way around, but in spite of our gieenness, we soon became acquainted with teachers, books and fellow students and entered into the high school activities. Several of our members participated in basket ball and track. The class weiner roast was held with the upper classmen in Webb’s Grove. Many of our members were in the operetta, “ Gypsy Rover ”. Others took due honors in the scholastic test and in track. Back again as Sophomores, with several of our members gone, we again did our best. The basketball squad consisted of several of our class. We were well represented in the operetta, “ Up in the Air ”, and also several were members of the scholastic team. This year there are 29 of us, as we have lost more members from the class. Several of our prominent figures on the basketball team are Keith Brandeberry, Paul Kennedy and Doris Deeter. Six of our members are in the Double Octette. They are Lillian Reed, Iris Archer, Glen Dean, George Norman, Joan Bailey and Charles Hayes. Last of all, the Juniors with the Seniors sponsored the annual P all Festival, the proceeds from which went to help with the expense of this book. The music department is now working on the operetta entitled, “ An Old Kentucky Garden ” which will include several of our class. We expect to be represented again this spring in the scholastic tests. As we have a year to remain in Troy High yet, who can tell what accomplishments may be ours next year? Class Officers: President ...................................... Keith Brandeberry Vice President ............................................. Doris Deeter Secretary-Treasurer .............................. Winifred Travis Class Historian ...................................... Joan Bailey Class Advisor ........................................ Mr. Newsom PAGE 13 THE 1938 TROJAN LET’S LOOK INTO THE FUTURE— I had been away from the “ old farm ” for about ten years. One day after I came back from New York I decided to go to Cooiville and see what had become of my old schoolmates. As I entered the town I saw the house where Jessie Crawford lived. I went to the door to inquire about Jessie. I learned that Jessie was stewardess on a world-known airship of which Glen Dean was the pilot. I hear rumors that they are to be married in June. I wonder if Glen still blushes as he did in school. As I approached the hotel I saw the sign “ Bronson’s Hotel ”. I went in tor my lunch. There sat Doris (Deeter) bossing not only the waitresses, but also her husband, Clyde. From these I learned the following interesting bits of information about my former classmates. I learned that Roscoe Burdette and Prudence Cornwell were married and were living on Burdette's farm on Route 50. Roscoe is well-known for his fine potatoes. Lillian Reed is singing on the radio over Station W. L. W. Lillian and her announcer, Keith Brandeberry, were married last summer. Marjorie Blake has lost her slim figure and now weighs about 400 pounds. She and Donald Wolfe are in the same circus in which Donald is a famous clown. They went through town the other day which caused great excitement. Joan Bailey is a dress designer in Elva Martin’s famous dress shop in Paris. Fae White is very proud of her Paris gown designed by Miss Bailey. Fae is an old maid in Hockingport. Maxwell Bailey is a missionary in Africa. He gets the thrill of his life fighting the wild animals of the jungle. Charles Hayes was always the artist of the class. His drawings, instead of being found on the back of his history workbook, are now found in the famous art galleries of the world. George Norman is a great lion tamer with the Barnum Circus. Iris Archer is trying to teach her Home Economic students of “ Old Troy ” that the way to a man’s heart is through his stomach. Elsie Davis is a private tutor in the high class homes of Europe. Glendon Webb’s name will soon be in all the literature books as a great poet. He married a girl from Four Mile. Winifred Travis owns a beauty salon in Cooiville. Mary Willet works in Winifred’s beauty salon. Frances Scott owns a restaurant in Torch. People come for miles to eat at Frances’s restaurant. Vernon Blue is a great lawyer in Nebraska. Vesta Blake is private secretary of the Governor of Ohio. William Chapman is a cowpuncher on Kenneth Jeffers’ ranch in Texas. Paul Kennedy is a tap dancer in a famous night club in New York. Juanita McCullick has now achieved her ambition as an opera singer. Nina Dixon is still helping to shell lima beans on the old farm.

PAGE 18 THE 1938 TROJAN OPHOMORB Cl A • BISTORT— On September 6, 1936, we entered Troy High School as freshmen under the leadership of Mr. Penrose. Out of our class many participated in various activities. Several of us took part in the high school operetta. A few of us were in the orchestra and we were well represented in the glee clubs. A few of us took part in the county tests at Athens. This year we are again well represented in school activities. Dale Cole and Kenneth Crislip play on the boys’ basketball team. Melba Morrison, Elma Willet, and Carol Saunders play on the girls’ team. We had our class meeting and elected the following officers: President...................................... Everett Webb Vice President ................................Charles Greene Secretary-Treasurer ........................... Alma Chapman Class Historian ............................. Leland Daugherty Class Advisor ............................................. Mr. Thompson FRESHMAN t:I A BISTORT— In September of the year 1937, fifty-five Freshmen entered the portals of Troy High School to begin their four years voyage to the port of graduation. At the first class meeting the following officers were elected: Murl Jackson, President William Wines, Vice President Harry Calloway, Secretary and Treasurer These officers have proved to be very dependable. We have participated in a number of events. We were represented in the local Prince of Peace Contest by Edith Martin and Glen Swisher, who did very well. A number of our class have been selected for the operetta, 44 An Old Kentucky Garden. ” Eighteen of our boys belong to the Future Farmer’s Association and seven of the girls are members of the Future Homemakers’ Association. We were represented on the high school basketball squad by William Wines. Harry Calloway. Murl Jackson, Delmont Blake, Robert Kelley, Kermit Johnson, and Wetzel Bond played on the junior high squad. We think we have done very well for a Freshman Class. In view of the progress we have made this year we think that when we are Seniors we will have built quite an illustrious name for ourselves.

PAGE 23 THE 1938 TROJAN TROT OR ADR HAPPEN IMOS The first and second grades at Coolville, taught by Laura Guilder, has an enrollment this year of 42 pupils, 26 in the first grade, and 16 in the second grade. The pupils participated with the other grade students in a Christmas program. which was put on by the music department. The pupils earned $5.00 by selling seeds. The money was used to buy each student an arithmetic work book. Our school was saddened by the death of Helen Murray, a first grade pupil. Helen was an “A” student and was loved by all. The third and fourth grades, taught by Leo Baker and Frances Runyon, had an enrollment of 21 in tne third grade and 33 in the fourth grade. The following pupils have a perfect attendance record to date: Bobby Hughes, Denzil Hetzer, Doris Jean Brafford, Juanita Chapman, Barbara Chapman, Eva Mae Clark, and Mary Baker. One of the most interesting studies of the Third Grade for this year was a study of the American Indian. The study began with a group of Indian stories in our reader. The children became so interested and asked so many questions that it was necessary to search our home and school libraries for more information-They divided the study into three groups: The Woodland, the Desert and the Plains Indians. The food, clothing, shelter, travel and habits of living of each groups were studied. The stories, pictures, and information were organized and put into book form. The children studied the colors and designs of the Indians. They decorated paper plates, made and decorated clay bowels. They also made book covers, bow and arrows, headdresses and the simple tools of the Indian. A collection was made of Indian relics, some of which had been found near Coolville. There was also a group of Indian made articles including a Navajo rug, small mats, tooled leather, and pottery. An exhibit of the Indian study was made at the Farmers’ Institute. The total enrollment in grades five and six for the school year 1937-’38 was l'orty-four and in the seventh and eighth, forty-nine. Departmental teaching was used to some extent. Miss Conklin taught geography and spelling; Mr. Baker taught science and arithmetic; Mr. Strickler taught English and history. For the first time a real effort was put forth in physical education. Mr. Baker did very commendable work in that field. • • The Torch School opened in September with an enrollment of twenty children in the primary grades. Miss Esther Bailey taught the primary room. For nearly a month they had a perfect attendance record. Four more children soon entered, making a total enrollment of twenty-four. The outstanding activity of the year was the annual Christmas program produced by the children of all grades. The children entered the activity with eagerness and enthusiasm. A large group of parents and interested friends were present to see the finished product. The advanced grades, taught by Roberta Humphrey, began the school year with an enrollment of nineteen. One family moved away, taking three pupils from this room, cutting the enrollment to sixteen. There are five pupils in the eighth grade who will be ready for promotion to high school in the spring. They are: Densil Butcher, Janice Dunfee, Max Gray, Thelma Russell, and Pearl Scott. Max Gray was absent when the group picture was taken. ♦ Hockingport is a village located on the bank of the Ohio River. There are two historical scenes commemorated here. A plaque tells of Washington and his soldiers camping over night here. At another point is a monument in memory of Fort Gower, located here during the Civil War. The village is to be complimented on having a well equipped, two room school, accommodating eight grades. The primary room is down stairs and taught by Lucille Davis. The total enrollment is thirty-two with eight pupils in the first grade, eleven in the second, five in the third, and eight in the fourth. Twenty-two pupils are enrolled in the upper grades, taught by Nile Barnett. The eighth grade has four scholars striving toward Troy High school. They are: Bernard Blake, William Kelley, Arthur Ice and Clifford Snider. The school is an old institution in Hockingport. The people are fortunate to have kept it during this time when centralization is so extensive. May they keep on through many more years. PAGE 24 THE 1938 TROJAN 6TO OUR “MISS LAURA The graduating classes of 1938 and 1939 wish to dedicate this page as a tribute to Mrs. G. R. Guilder, or as sne is known by everyone, “ Miss Laura. ” This is “ Miss Laura’s ” last year as a teacher. In May she will retire after thirty-six years of service during which time she has not missed more than two months of school. •Miss Laura” started teaching at Success, Ohio, in 1902. She next taught at Tuppers Plains, Ohio, from 1903 to 1904. From there she went to Or bison, Ohio, where she taught until 1907. Then she went back to Tuppers Plains where she taught until she came to Coolville in 1908. For thirty years she has devoted her time to school children of Coolville. During “Miss Laura’s teaching experience here she has taught under the supervision of twelve principals—Alex Root, E. G. Gibson, Clyde White, G. S. Nease, Mary Agnes Stewart, L. M. Chapman, John Paynter, Lucy Belle Evans, Clarence Gillilan, Kenneth Ray, Samuel Pailet, and A. Z. Penrose. Some of the first to graduate trorn Coolville High School who started to school to Mrs. Gunder at Tuppers Plains, Ohio, were Nora Kincade, 1913; Dale Reed, 1917; Garrett Reed, 1918; Bertha Keller, 1914; and Clyde Parrish, 1918. Three of the present grade school teachers in the Coolville schools, Margaret Conklin, Mrs. Frances Smith Runion, and Mr. Leo Baker, started to school in ‘ Miss Laura’s ” room. They have the upper grades now, but their first grade teacher, who is loved and will be remembered by so many children of this district, continues in the early work of the A. B. C’s. Only she says she doesn’t teach them as she used to do. As teaching methods have evolved, ‘‘Miss Laura ” has evolved with them, and she is considered one of the best primary teachers in Athens County. (We think she is the best.) “ Miss Laura ” doesn’t punish, as we usually think of the word. She has a philosophy which twinkles from her eyes. Children want to do things for her because she is so jolly, and so understanding. She maintains discipline by love rather than the yardstick — and it works. Seventeen members of the graduating classes, (some of whose pictures are given below as they looked when they went to “ Miss Laura ”), began their school careers under the sympathetic guidance of our first and second grade teacher. And now, to that lady— “ our Miss Laura ” — who has helped to lay the firm foundation of so many educations, and, who has anchored them with wise instruction and loving guidance, we, the graduating classes, and other Troy Township pupils as well, extend our most grateful thanks for service well done, and our best wishes for her future.

PAGE 30 THE 1938 TROJAN UOTS BASKBTRALIj 38 Daugherty—They call him ‘ Punk”, but not from his basketball ability. He’s good. Not a big man, out clever, experienced, last, ana with the best eye and fingers on the squad. Make a bucket the length ol tne floor? Sure—he does it, oiten. A cool headed captain, in tignt games he stays clever. We naie to lose “Punx . We enjoyed seeing nim puzzie tne Dig, clumsy guards. Bingman—A rangy, but tough guard. Where does he get that name, “Sister”? They don’t make piayers more aggressive, tough, and aole to take and give it. Played regular as a junior and senior. A fine defense man and yet a nigh scorer on offense, he could qualify as first class player on any school's team. Cole—Sophomore center. A big south paw that will come into his own in the next two seasons. Lack of experience is his only nandicap. He is perhaps one of the most promising players in the league and he mustn't disappoint us. Brandy—Junior guard. It’s seldom a man, relatively inexperienced, steps in to hold a first team position. Brandy, with his reaching arms and cooi judgment, was the one to ao it. Not a high scorer, he contented himself with not letting his man be either. You could always depend on Brandy in there. Next year, one of the few veterans, Brandy will be shouldered with great responsibility which we are sure he can handle. Fred—Playing forward position in his senior year. Small but fast and a wicked shot with his left hand. Fred is a “hot’’ player and if he is on, his man may as well quit the game. Don’t judge his ability in proportion to his size. Chapman—One of the best shots on the floor. He came into his own as a senior and pulled the team out of many a tight place with his hard, driving play and ability to get the ball loose for a shot that rang the bell. He could be shifted to any position on the team and he asked odds from no player on defense. Crislip—The smallest man on the squad but he saw plenty of action as forward in the toughest games. Kenny is awfully fast and clever. In the next two years he’ll be a mighty dangerous man for any team to handle. Kennedy—A junior forward. Ken didn’t get into as warm games as some, but he was a tricky man on defense and could always be depended upon to get the ball into scoring range. As a senior he’ll have a lot of responsibility. Castle—A senior. If a man scores too much, put Castle on him and he’ll score no more. Always safe to put in any game. He has been ready at any time to put all he had in it and we hate to have him missing from the squad next year. Shanks—A senior who was always in bad luck one way or another it seemed and could never get out ’till this year. Just how he does it is his own secret but he can get into the open for more shots than any man on the squad. Always plays the same, sure, way. Wines—A freshman. Bill needs experience and he’ll get plenty. With his size he will make a mighty valuable man. In the next three years he shall go places if he gets some drive. Next year’s team should be big and Bill won’t have to take second place to any. Mention Everett Webb as manager? He deserves it!

High scorer in game after game, and exceptionally clever ball handler. We are lucky to have her back next year. She will be without a fear the best in the county and Troy may rightfully claim her to be the best individual player. Amsbary—As forward and running mate with Deeter, Mary Jo kept the game from slowing down, ana with any chance at all she was sure to gather her snare of the points in a game. Small, last, always where the ball was and in control of it much of the time. For three seasons sne has been a valuable addition to the Troy sextet. Clark—Lois is our versatile player—at home at forward, center, or guard and always aepenaable at any of those positions. Nothing but the whistle could make Lois quit righting for that ball and more points. Small for a guard, she made up for it in spirit and skill, and as a forward, her dependability and hard playing tactics always brought her some points. Her equal will be hard to find next season. Scott—New to the game this year, Scott bewildered her opponents with a display of physical and mental alertness and power that gained our team many a respite. With more experience she will be an outstanding guard of the league. The fastest player on the floor finds their reputation going and gone when Scott decides to really start a defense. Passes and receives like a veteran. Russell—Bert was back with us again this year alter a year s lay off from the game, and we were certainly lucky to have her. As a guard, she made any forward work hard for points. Her injury in the New Marshheld game was a heavy loss for the team to face for the rest of the season. Her absence from the team was of greater moment than we care to think of. Gaskins—As a senior, Gaskins has been in most of the games at guard. Always dependable, she took the scoring anility from most forwards by wearing them out with her steady method of play. For several years we have relied heavily on her to bring us out of difficulties. We’ll miss her. M. Clark—Small, fast, clever, and with great possibilities when she has more experience—that’s Marguerite. As a freshman, she has played a fine game at forward, and with her present skill plus steadiness and smoothness that another season will give, she will make points against any guard. ‘Walden—Beth was always with the team but did not see as much action as most. She was ready to go into the game and was reliable. In the latter part of the season she saw a great deal of action and her value was indisputable. Morrison—New to the game Melba made use of a long reach and general ability. With experience, she’ll be of the highest value to the team and will, we are sure, play a neat game. We are certain to hear much of her next year. THE SEASON'S RECORD: Troy 21 here Belpre ....23 Troy 8 there Shade .. 9 20 here Albany ... .16 17 there The Plains . .. . .27 19 there J.

TENNIS ’37 With Swearingen and Scarlett making up the doubles team, and Church representing Troy in the singles, we made definite bid for a place in the district tennis tourney. The first round was won by forfeit, and in the second, the boys were defeated by a classy team representing Chillicothe. With better facilities for tennis practice and playing here, we really expect to place a team on the courts in next spring’s competition that will place a few more trophies on our shelf. BASEBALL ’37 The baseball team of the last two seasons had a hard hitting and fast fielding aggregation that few schools could compete with. In 1936-37 season, four straight victories of wide margins were realized at the expense of Belpre and Tuppers Plains, nor were any games of non-schedule playing of close enough scoring to shake the boys from the easy list of victories. Losing practically the entire team from the preceding season, Troy in 1937 yet placed a group of ball players on the field that carried on admirably with the start given by the team of 36-37. Games with Belpre were divided, each school winning the one played on its own field. Games with various groups within the school could offer no opposition to overcome the ability that the boys showed. PAGE 33 THE 1938 TROJAN Jill 193? CHAMPS! First Row (left to right) — Daugherty, Bibbee, Calloway, Deeter, Webb, Williams, Bingman. Second Row—Coach Davies, Chapman, Castle, Cole, Brandeberry, Kennedy, Swearingen, Manager White. THE 1937 CHAMPS ! By letting the score book and trophy shelf tell the story of Troy’s 1936-37 basket ball season, we find that the picture is indeed one for the school to be proud. For the first time in the school’s history, our ceam won the Athens County League without losing a game of the ten that decided the championship. Of the non-league games, only in the one at Belpre did the boys taste defeat, and the bitterness of those four points against them boded ill for future opponents. For the remainder of the season, all teams were handled in a no uncertain manner, nor was the losing of a game repeated. For having played such determined ball, and for having defeated all others of the county, the trophy as League Champion was given us. The high lights of the season were the three games with Stewart by which Troy’s superiority was proved so emphatically. In none of the three did our rivals even stand the faintest of chances. In the county tournament the first and third games with Rome and Shade were won. the last one, in the finals, gaining us the privilege of entering the District Tournament at Logan. The second game in which we played Ames-Bern was our second defeat of the season and lost us the county tournament, but with that same drive and spirit that was so outstanding a characteristic of Troy athletes all year, we fought through the Logan schedule by first defeating Glenford in a decisive manner and then handling Ames-Bern. our old opponent, with a flourish that avenged our county tournament defeat at their hands. With that revenge under our belts we went into the finals against Middleport, the same evening, bruised and injured from too heavy a schedule but still fighting. The Middleport men, the best from a much larger school than Troy, finally wore us down and we lost, for only the third time in a season of twenty-three games. PAGE 34 THE 1938 TROJAN Each of the ten members of the squad came from Logan with individual trophies of which they had reason to be proud. Gold belt buckles, they were, with “District Champ” inscribed across them. For the school was a line trophy which resides with others in our office. In the year of 1936-1937, Troy’s greatest season, the basketball team brought home more than could be expected in the way of glory, and on no floor could it be said that a cleaner, harder playing, or better appearing team had performed. 1936-1937 SCHEDULE Troy .... .... 29 Belpre . .14 COUNTY TOURNAMENT Troy — . ... 32 Buchtel . .24 Troy . ... 25 Albany . .18 Troy 35 Rome .16 Troy . . . . 45 J.

Before the crowds of school, county, district, and state meets in track, “Slick” has led the field of competition. Holding the county baseball throw record of 360 feet he may feel sure that his name will long be kept on the record sheet! For two seasons he was high point man in the Athens county track meet, placing for points in the 220 and 100 yard dashes, the broad jump, the basketball throw and as anchor man on the 880 relay team. As center for three seasons in basketball he became known by every fan in the district and was perhaps the best known individual player on the team. His ability at the center tip and bank board play was a great factor in the teams unprecedented run of victories. And what an arm in baseball! The same form that sailed the ball for a record distance in track often sent a ball from outfield to cut off a runner at home, when the luckless runner never thought it possible that the ball could be pegged in. When he played on third base, we needed the weight of Webb or Cole to hold his throws to first, and when he pitched, the other teams wanted to quit. Could he dance? Any one can answer, but let the team mates for whom he performed after night practices tell you of his antics with his feet. Start a harmonica going, slap your hands a few times, coax just a little, and away he goes! “Slick” can slap, shuffle, and tap those feet with the best of them, but when he gets his knees unlimbered and starts to get his hips and shoulders into motion, clear the floor and give him room! He’s an athlete, an entertainer, a steady worker, a mighty fine fellow. We give you “Slick” —just plain “Slick” Williams. PAGE 35 THE 1938 TROJAN HOME) EeDMOMICcT F. H. A.

The total enrollment numbered forty-eight. During 1937-38 we are offering only two years of work with a total enrollment of thirty-eight students. Home economics is no longer considered a ‘ cooking and sewing ’ course. The modern mode of living has changed the home life to such an extent that it has become necessary to educate the youth to meet modern problems. The course now includes, not only clothing instruction, but buying and care of garments. Foods instruction no longer consists of only preparation of foods. Instead it deals with the selection of foods from the standpoint of health, factors to consider when preparing food, and many other phases. Other fields which the girls study are: Home furnishings and decoration, foods preservation, child care, home management, consumer education, family relationships, social relationships, nutrition and health. The principal objective of home economics work is to make better trained and more worthy home members. Fiiluro llompmukprs Association- The local chapter of F. H. A. consists of forty-three members. Any girl actively enrolled in Vocational Home Economics is eligible for membership. The degree which she attains depends entirely upon her own merits. There are four degrees: The Little Women Degree, Fireside Circle Degree, Future Home- makers of Troy High School, and Future Homemakers of Ohio Degree. As yet the organization has not become a national one, but it is believed that it will not be long before there will be sufficient demand. Troy Chapter has been very highly honored by the State Organization. During the spring of 1937 two delegates: namely, Doris Deeter and Lillian Reed, attended the first state conference at Columbus, Ohio. At this time state officers were elected and we were very pleased to have Lillian Reed elected to fill the office of secretary for the executive group. Local officers for the year of 1937-38 are: Doris Deeter ......................................... President Lillian Reed.....................................

PAGE 38 THE 1938 TROJAN Vocational Agriculliirc- The vocational agriculture class of this year is tne largest in the history of the department with an enrollment of thirty-five. The course is becoming more popular not only in our department but throughout the state. There is an eleven percent increase in the enrollment for the state. All the boys are carrying at least one productive project, and some of the boys are carrying as many as six. As an example of what can be done and of what some of the boys are doing let us consider the work of two boys. Frank Dodderer has for his projects one sow and litter, strawberries, corn test plot, potatoes, construction of poultry house, and farm accounts. Roscoe Burdette has for his projects one dairy heifer, ten sheep, potatoes, corn, sow and litter, and farm accounts. Probably the most interesting year in the course is the sophomore year at which time the boys are taught farm shop. The shop course is divided into several phases of manipulative work, which are woodwork, tool sharpening, soldering, harness repair, hot and cold metal, rope, and drawing. Some of the Woodwork was exhibited at the community institute. The department participated in the Athens County Junior Fair which was the first attempted in this county and was very successful for the first year. Robert Sturm won first place and Carson Boggs second on gilts. Roscoe Burdette took first place on his dairy heifer and first place on potatoes in a class of forty-one exhibits. Victor Clark won third on his dairy heifer, and Paul Kennedy won all the ribbons with his sheep. Next year we expect to have more and better exhibits and proceed from the county to the state fair. Forty-three bushels of corn hybrids were ordered through the department by local farmers. Most of the growers are well satisfied and expect more farmers to grow corn hybrids in the future. The department held a pest hunt in February. The class was divided into two teams and the losing team treated the winners to a vegetable soup supper. The department gave a program at the community institute and furnished the program for one grange meeting. We hope that all the boys will continue to take agriculture and the department will be bigger and better from year to year. Future Farmers � f Ameriea- “Learning to do, doing to learn; Earning to live, living to serve.” The Future Farmers of America is a National Organization of farm boys studying vocational agriculture. The purposes of the organization are: To develop competent rural and agri- cultural leadership; to strengthen the confidence of the farm boy in himself and his work; to create more interest in the choice of farming occupations; to create a love of country life; to improve the rural home; to encourage cooperative efforts on the part of students; to promote thrift; to promote and improve scholarship; to encourage organized recreation; and to advance the course of vocational agriculture in the schools. Our chapter holds two meetings each month in which parlimentary procedure is practiced. One meeting each month is held at night at which time refreshments are served. . Paul Kennedy represented the chapter in the District F. F. A. Public Speaking Contest, and he won third place. Wetzel Bond, Charles Greene, and Carson Boggs participated in the Apple Judging Contest at Farmers’ Week held at Ohio State University. Glenn Swisher and Garret Bond accompanied the boys on the trip and attended the Leadership Conference. One of the high spots of the year is the Parent-Son Banquet held in March. The chapter sponsors a banquet and invites their parents to attend. An amateur contest was sponsored in January which drew one of the largest crowds that has been to a school program for several years. The chapter purchased three hundred chicks to be raised and sold as broilers as a project. We also anticipate growing one acre of potatoes. Returns from these projects and the amateur contest will be used to take an F. F. A. trip next August. If enough money is left in the treasury, the boys expect to start a “gilt chain.” The chapter officers are: President......................................................Herman castle Vice President...........Paul Gordon Treasurer....................Carson Boggs Secretary..............Robert Sturm Reporter ............

PAGE 40 THE 1938 TROJAN liisirum ftiifal luxi«— Instruction in instrumental music is offered to all students of Troy High under the direction of Raymond Connett. A pupil may learn to play any instrument used in the band or orchestra without expense,except for music. It is the purpose of this instruction to prepare a student for participation in the school orchestra; for greater musical enjoyment after days; by equipping the student with the ability to take part in the creation of music; and to derive more pleasure from listening to music because of his greater knowledge of music gained during school experience. The orchestra meets once a week for two forty-five minute periods and earns a quarter of a unit credit. The orchestra makes a constant preparation for participation in assembly, community meetings, and school events. Its members have the opportunity of taking part in the district festival and can compete as individuals in the district school music contests. Several of our players have represented their school at the annual Southeastern Ohio Music Festival and Southeastern Ohio Teachers’ Meeting Program. The members of the orchestra, and the instruments they play are: Meriam Bingman, Naomi Archer............................Piano George Norman, Charles Bingman, John Butcher, Max Douglas............................. Violin Paul Gordon ........................................ Clarinet Keith Brandeberry, Kenneth Jeffers ................ Saxophone Iris Archer, James Rogers, Glenn Swisher...............Cornet Jack White........................................Snare Drum. The 4iilee Clubs “Music, when soft voices die, Vibrates in the memory•” The twenty-seven boys and thirty-seven girls in Troy High School’s Glee Clubs did their “do, re, mi’s” on Mondays and Thursdays this year under the direction of Dorothy Lynch. Aside from the Boys’ Glee Club and the Girls’ Glee Club we had a Mixed Double Octette composed of Wilda Butcher, June Medley, Lillian Reed, and Edith Martin, Soprano; Helen Gillilan, Iris Archer, Lucille Reed, and Joan Bailey, Alto Charles Bingman, Glenn Dean, George Norman, and Herman Castle, Tenor; Paul Gordon, Fred Swearingen, Howard Shanks, and Charles Hayes, Bass; and a Boys’ Quartette, George Norman or Walker Norman, Glenn Dean, Paul Gordon, and Charles Bingman. We gave “An Old Kentucky Garden,” an operetta based on the music of Stephen Collins Foster. Last year we gave “Up In The Air” a modern comedy of aviation. Those who represented Troy High School last year in the Southeastern Ohio Music Festival were Charles Bingman, Glenn Dean, Paul Gordon. Iris Archer, and Helen Gillilan. Meriam Bingman was our accompanist for the entire year. PAGE 41 THE 1938 TROJAN Coming within split points of taking county championship in track. Troy still gave a wonderful account of herself, backing up records in the baseball throw and half mile. Williams let the baseball drop 360 feet from the line, for a record that will possibly never be equaled. Bibbee, in the hall mile race, easily ran to the lead in a fast race that took four seconds from the record that had stood for ten years. While each member of the team placed in the events entered, Williams was outstanding, being high point man of the meet, ana a far more capable point-getter than any man on the field, his versatility, the outstanding topic of the day. Orval Webb in the 440, Glendon Webb in the shot put, Williams in the 100 and 220 dashes, broad jump and baseball throw, Kennedy m the high jump, Daugherty in ihe pole vault, and Bibbee in the half mile—all were a credit to the school. After leading in points all through the meet, Troy finally gave up her lead oy one point, in the last event when the relay team was crowded out of first place by a record breaking Rome team. In the district meet, Bibbee again ran himself to fame in the 880 by tying the old record and finishing far beyond his closest opponents. This, the outstanding exhibition of the day, was closely crowded for honors by the pole vaulting in which Daugherty took second, an injured ankle from his last vault grounding him from soaring up to record height beyond the Rome man that finally took the event. In the state meet, Troy’s white-clad boys were represented by Bibbee and Daugherty, each carrying the orange and black colors to new fame, the latter not collecting enough points to help a great deal, but we all stood up and cheered along with thousands of other contestants and spectators when Bibbee gained the lead in the 880. With only one runner giving much competition, he ran a beautiful race, but after gaining and losing the lead a half dozen times in the last 220, he was finally nosed out of first place by inches, the two close first runners having led the rest of the field by 100 yards at the finish. In 1938 we have Daugherty to get our school some records, and Bingman, Kennedy, Castle, and Webb. There are others, too, who will see to it that Troy will stay ahead in athletics on the cinders. CIRKS TRACK $2 The girls’ track team of Troy threatened to carry the trophy home from the county meet, and led by Amsbary who ranked as the highest individual girl scorer of the day, gave a series of fine performances throughout the day. Running first in the 35 yard dash, Amsbary led the field to finish in 5 seconds flat, equaling the existing record. Following this she took second in the hop-step and jump and 50 yard dash. The 220 relay team placed close behind zhe Waterloo team to finish the events of the day, and the Troy girls had a full right to feel proud of their showing. Next spring we’ll see a squad of Troy girls on the field that will ask handicaps from none.
