As The Years Roll By One warm day in the month of August, I was walking through the woods when suddenly I spied a queer book sticking out of a hollow tree trunk. Upon further examination, I found it con- tained the names of my classmates and what they would be doing in the year of 1960. On the first page appeared the name of Dottie Brandeberry, our class President. She is spending her spare time planning and decorating old houses. The second page bore the name of Betty Ann Bryan. She had made a name for her self as an opera singer. She has given up the stage and is raising a happy group of youngsters. Otis Allen, after years of selling pencils has made a fortune and he and Mary have settled down to a life of leisure. Nettie Barnhart runs the Korner Kitchen. Louva Bise is one of her many waitresses. Frances Brummage is a famous horse trainer for Republic Studios. Dorsey Burkhammer, the boxing champion, has put his gloves away as he is ready to re- tire. Ronnie Chapman, disappointed in love, now owns and operates the local movie theater. In the current picture, Donna Connolly is the star. I see this is her last picture as she is going to marry her high school sweetheart Tom Taylor, who is now a bull fighter in Mexico. Jean Faren is a nurse in a large Cleveland hospital. Barbie Davis is a famous ballet dancer and is now on vacation in Coolville. She is a happy old maid. Carol Gillian is now head coach of a girls' basketball team. Her latest game was at Madison Square Garden in New York. Ray Hall, Hockingport's old bachelor, is making his living by piloting an airplane. Norma Ice has gone to the West where she and her husband tend thousands of sheep. Maynard Clark and Therman Deeter operate a huge machine shop in New Jersey. Jo Cogar has finally achieved her goal as an artist. Her paintings are known the world over. Bascil Wines, our class joker is now taking the place of Jack Benny. His programs are heard three nights a week. Mickey Crawford is ---- but the rest of the page is gone so we will have to wonder as to her fate. IN MEMORIAM a member of Edward McG1one Class of'1950 ll

Senior Memories ln September, 1946, thirty-six,Freshmen entered Troy High School. During the year the class was well represented in various activities. Early in the year, we had a class party in the auditorium. During our Sophomore year, we were again well represented in school activities. At Hallowe'en, we enjoyed a party held at the home of Mrs. Alden, our Advisor. Our Junior year was highlighted by the Junior-Senior Banquet. The formal banquet was built around a Spanish theme. The gay decorations included a wishing well, Spanish balcony, false ceiling of crepe paper streamers and the Farewell Seniors waswritten 'with silver stars on blue crepe paper which gave the impression of the message written in the sky. A Eleanor Broughton, of Dorset, England was a member of the class during the fir st semester of our Junior year. At the end of the year, we went on a week-end educational trip to Columbus with the Seniors. Now twenty-one of us are nearing our goal as Seniors. In sports, we have been well represented throughout our four years. This year two of the var sity basketball players, Ronnie Chapman and Dorsey Burkhammer represented our class. Manager of the team was Bascil Wines and cheerleaders were Dottie Brandeberry and Barbie Davis. Several girls have been in the Glee Club all four years and six members of our class are four-year members of the orchestra. Mickie, Mary Lois, Barbie and Dottie are also in the Girls' Ensemble. Several girls are members of the F. H. A. and some of the boys are members oftheF.F.A. All Seniors have helped sell Christmas cards to raise funds for the class. We also did our share at the Fall Festival which raised the funds for our new movie projector. Now as Seniors, we are collaborating with the Juniors to publish the 1950 Trojan. All have helped to make it a success, many being on the Trojan Staff and other helping to finance the publication. We are also hoping to make a trip to Washington D. C. with the Juniors in May. Our Senior Class play, Damsels in Distress, was presented in April. We are proud of our class and its accomplishments for the past four years. We have enjoyed working and play- ing together and are sorry that our good times together are coming to an end. However, we must smile and remember that this is Not the end, but the beginning! Class officers are: President Dottie llrandeber ry Vice-President Betty Ann Br yan Secretary Barbara Davis Treasurer Tommy Taylor Historian Mickie Crawford Class Advisor Mr. Kiracofe Motto: Not The End, But The Beginning Class Colors: Blue and White Class Flower: Red Rose 10
