THE 1940 TROJAN 1940 SENIOR CLASS REVIEW We arc the Senior class of 1940. We entered Troy High School as freshmen in the fall of 1936. Everything was new to us. but we soon got used to things and began to make our presence known in a number of ways. Some of our members played basketball. Some of us were also in the operetta. As sophomores we were again well represented in school activities. Several of our members were becoming valuable assets to the basketball teams. Some of us won honors in the scholastic tests given in Athens. As juniors we continued to take part in school activities and awaited anxiously the time when we would be seniors. So this year we are the senior class of Troy High. We have taken the place of those who have graduated before us. Our basketball teams have shown up especially well this year. We are especially proud of our boys' team, for all five of the first team. Dale Cole. Kenneth Crislip. Loris McKinney. Murl Jackson, and Russell Shanks, arc members of our class. They won all league games and also took the county tournament at Athens. This is the first time that a Troy team has won the tournament for so long, why shouldn’t we be proud of them? With the junior class, we have published “The Trojan.” our school book, which is published every two years. The staff has worked hard to make this book the best Trojan yet published. In order to help publish The Trojan, several activities were undertiken. The Troy Festival was held under the supervision of the senior class. The class sold Christmas cards and wax paper to supply the treasury with necessary funds. Several members of the class, in order to take a trip to Washington. D. C.. in April, undertook several extra enterprises to help finance their trip. As a fitting close to the school year the class presented the class play “Spring Fever.” in which twelve members took part. Through these four years we have worked and played together, and have learned many things which we hope will be a benefit and an inspiration to us through our journey of life. Although some of us have accomplished more than others, we appreciate each other's efforts, however small they may have been.
