THE 1938 TROJAN MS DUE SCHOOL TibARS IlOL L E T We are the class of ’39. 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?

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 14
