Freshman History In September, 1949, forty-six Freshmen enrolled in Troy High School, coming from Coolville, Carthage and Hockingport Grade Schools, to begin their four years' voyage towards that coveted goal, graduation. At our first class meeting, we elected the officers as follows: President Ruth Fortney Vice-President Anita Kiracofe Secretary Richard McGlone Treasurer Arthur Tucker A few weeks after the beginning of school, Ruth Fortney moved to Chester, Ohio, and Anita Kiracofe, who came to us from New Zealand to spend a short time, moved to Argentina, South America with her parents. They we elected John Taylor, President and Joan Clark, Vice-President. All but a few of the boys and girls joined the F. F. A. and F. H. A. and attended the annual Christmas Party. We were represented on the basketball team by Russell Crearner, Glenn Reed, Richard McGlone, Kenneth Null, Leroy White, Howard Dunfee. The two newly elected cheerleaders for this year were members of the Freshman Class, namely: Joan Clark and Yvonne Henderson. 24

The Sophomore Tidings In September, 1948, thirty-four Freshmen were eager to begin their fir st year in high school. They came from Coolville, Hockingport, and Lottridge. That year there were no addi- tions to our class. In the spring, three of our members, Larry Kiracofe, Fleda Kimble, and Jean Davis took scholastic tests at Athens, but didn't place. ' In 1949, there were twenty-eight of us gathered in the Sophomore room. Four of our members withdrew before the term ended. At the Fall Carnival, we sponsored the Fortune Teller's Booth, Penny-A-Pitch and Guess Your Weight. The money that was earned helped to buy a new movie projector for the high. school. We are proud to have so many of our boys on the basketball squad. They are: Lowell Thompson, Larry Kiracofe, Bobbie Murrey, Arnold Smith, Charles Gibbs, Joe Owens. We are sure they will develop into fine players. Also on the pep team, we have two members. Lois Galbreath and Jean Davis. Several are members and officers of F. H, A., F. F. A., Glee Club, and Orchestra. Most of our F. H. A. girls are on the cast for a play, Judy Takes Over to be sponsored by the F. H. A. Three of the girls, Jo Ann Shaffer, Jean Davis, and Anne Archer are members of the girls' ensemble formed this year.

Grade School News We will work while we work And play while we play That makes everyone happy and gay-- A little good morning song Mrs. Whitehead taught us, seems to fully express our way of life in the primary room. Living and Learning Together is our motto--so together we are glad we can report a happy progressive-and sagfying learning experience during the year 1949-50. Mrs. Fleda Malone is our teacher. The second and third grades, with Miss Humphrey as teacher, began the school year with an enrollment of fifteen in the second grade and thirty-one in the third grade. The children took an active part in the Christmas Program and P. T. A. Program. Other special days have been observed in their own room. Pupils in both grades are interested in their studies and are making much progress in their school work. The school year 1949-50, found the fourth and fifth grade room with an enrollment of forty- eight. We are a busy bunch of boys and girls. Besides our lessons, we collect sales stamps, sell seeds, and do whatever we can to earn money. The proceeds from such is being used for the purchase of an electric clock for our room, some school supplies, and for our social functions. In January, we furnished entertainment for the P. T. A. by singing three songs and giving two short plays. We plan to have a picnic dinner on the Friday before school is out and invite our mothers to participate. Mrs. Freda Faber is our teacher. The fifth and sixth grade room has been improved this year by the installation of new lights, new window shades and a new bulletin board. The pupils have given two short plays, one for the Christmas assembly and the other one of a patriotic nature was given at the February meeting of the P. T. A. We believe we have some good basketball material for coming years. The seventh grade started the year with an enrollment of thirty boys and girls. During the year, Sarah Pyles moved away, leaving only twenty-nine. We were also sorry to lose Mr. Toth at the end of the fir st semester, but now we have Mr. Bibbee as a full-time teacher. Our boys are trying hard to help develop a good Junior High basketball team. In September, the eighth grade enrolled twenty-four members. Within a few weeks, Edith C-ole moved away, but a little later Cleda and Theda I-Iapney joined our class. Heidi Hooveen spent a few days with us, before journeying on to Florida. At the beginning of the second . semester, Glenis White from Chester enrolled so that we now have twenty-five members., The seventh and eighth grades have been following the custom of having their social activi- ties together. Mrs. Virginia Eddy is class advisor for the eighth grade and Mrs. Kiracofe, for the seventh grade. Z5
