THE 1938 TROJAN 4 THE MIRROR OF “3§M One quiet evening in my room after having prepared my work for the next day, I was enjoying my pastime (reading the “ Who’s Who of America”) when I happened to see the name, “ Trojans of 38 Remembering that my class was that of “ 38 ”, I started to read and to my surprise it gave the name of our Class President, Fred Swearingen! 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.

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.....................................
