    Cheerleaders and dancers bring new skills to performancesat games. They were also taught new stunts. The morning session the cheerleaders were taught a short sideline dance and a few cheers. The dancers learned a hip hop and a jazz dance. In the afternoon session the cheerleaders

    worked on stunting and the dancers worked on flexibility stretches and went over the morning dances that were learned. The day is always a great learning experience for safety, proper technique, new cheers, and dances! “I have enjoyed at-tending spirit spreaders the last four years of my high school dance career, and I’m going to miss it a lot. I love get-ting to dance and cheer with all these girls, they make both really fun and enjoyable for me, “ said senior Harley Huss.

    Some of the fundrais-ers they have done in-clude selling Redwheel, a volleyball tournament, and a biscuits and gravy feed and silent auction.

    FFABy Halli Wigger

    The Troy FFA Chap-ter has begun the year with several activities. The chapter officers have already had sev-eral meetings in order to establish the POA’s, or Program of Activi-ties, for the National Organization. The chap-ter has also been work-ing on arrangements to send several students to the National Conven-tion in Louisville, Ken-tucky, later in October. The chapter has been thinking of ways to gen-erate money for the FFA fund as well. They soon will begin selling Seitz

    By Trae Shelton

    With school starting out, the band is in full swing. The Troy Marching Tro-jans started the year by playing at the first home game against Maur Hill. The Troy Marching Tro-jans performed a half-time show including the songs “Sweet Caro-line,” “Boom Boom,” and “YMCA,” at the home football game against Riverside. There are two more home football games that the band will play at. The band’s biggest feat, though, is raising money for their upcom-ing Thanksgiving trip to Florida. The trip will consist of a Thanksgiv-ing dinner, a day at Walt Disney Park, and songs being played in front of Mickey’s Magic Hat.

    By Jessica Guffy The Troy High School Cheerleaders and Dancers traveled to Highland Community College to attend the UCA Spirit Spreader Friday, September 6. There they learned new cheers and dances that they could perform

    Fruit and Meat, and they are in charge of work-ing the football conces-sion stand October 25. Students can sign up to work in the ag room. Besides planning and raising money, the FFA members will soon be-gin competing in CDE’s on the local circuit. Among these include Dairy Judging, Horse Judging, and Leadership School. FFA members may sign up to compete in the ag classroom. Drama Club By Baileigh Jenkins

    With the year just be-ginning, drama club had to elect new of-ficers. The officers are President Holly Stegall, Vice President Cody Israel, Secretary Alex Stanton, Treasurer Wil-liam Boeh, and Histo-rian Nicki Stanton. The

    drama club will begin the fall play in Novem-ber. To raise money for the productions they put on, drama club is selling Yankee Candles. The candles they are selling are from a fall/Christ-mas-themed catalog. “We have found Yan-kee Candles to be an ex-cellent fund raiser. The company is well known and delivers a qual-ity product. This cata-log features delightful gift ideas for Christmas as well as for Hallow-een and Thanksgiving- and just any time. And the scents are heav-enly!” said drama club sponsor Mrs. Rockey.

    KaysBy Courtney Klaus

    Kays begins the year with a new spon-sor and new officers. The officers for the

    2013 school year are President Claire Marri-ott, Co-Vice Presidents Courtney Klaus and Katrina Tharman, Sec-retary Kaylee Bennett, and Treasurer Baileigh Jenkins. At the first meeting, the Kays mem-bers decided to get in-volved in more activities than in previous years.

    SADDBy Jessica Guffy

    The SADD group has begun the year by hav-ing several meetings for planning to raise more money for upcoming events. They plan on selling candy bars to the TGS/THS during school hours. The SADD mem-bers will focus on having the fair towards the end of the year as their main event being in the club.

    Watch out, underclassmen

    Working a job and attending schoolschool, so most of the pay checks are just extra money that I could use for extra things we want but not necessarily need! Not all students are capable of handling a part-time job as it inter-feres with study time, extracurricular activi-ties, or any important things going on. The biggest concern with having a job and at-tending high school is not being able to catch up on school work or harming education. Some nights could be a homework overload and not getting as much sleep. School is much

    more than just lessons. Some classes take place outside of class, such as sports, music, volunteer work, or being involved in clubs. When working, you have to make sac-rifices like missing out on sports games, club activities, and hanging out with your friends on the weekends. This might sound like the end of the world but getting that first pay-check will feel good. This can help your future tremendously. If your first job has any-thing to do with what you want to go to college for, then you already

    teem, making them feel more responsible. There are some perks about having a job. The most obvious reason is earning my own money. I work as a waitress and hostess at Pete’s Steak-house in Atchison, KS. I make minimum wage, but I also get tips and I have managed to save over 3,000 dollars in just a couple of months. I set up a savings account and every week I put my checks into the bank. All this money could come in handy for college if needed. It’s also nice not having to pay for every-thing still being in high

    have some experience, making things easier. Getting a full-time job in the future could be easier to find when the place you are apply-ing to knows you have some work experience.

    Most high school stu-dents would say they work eight hours a day during school; well I work up to 14. I go straight from school to driving 15 miles to make it to work for about five-hours and not making it home until 9:30-10 p.m. Having a part-time job while still in high school is a produc-tive experience, giving benefits like handling responsibility, manag-ing time, dealing with adults, and occupying time while keeping busy. High school stu-dents who work feel a sense of self-es-

    by Halli WiggerWe’re seniors now, and it is time to take care of business.

    By business I mean smack underclassmen

    with the ACT study guide book, because the key is to take it early and frequently.

    By business I mean shove underclassmen

    into concurrent classes, because it’s important you get a head start on your secondary edu-cation. Who doesn’t want to save a little (or a lot) of moolah?

    By business I mean el-bow underclassmen

    in the sides when they’re not cheering at all the games they can. You only have four sea-sons to get loud and support our athletes.

    By business I mean push underclassmen

    to figure out what they want to do af-ter high school.

    Seniors, we’re finally here. All we had were four short years. Time flies when you’re in prison… Kidding.

    As we begin filling out scholarships, applying to schools, finishing up those last bits of com-munity service for our resumes, and somehow finding time to get out and support our Trojan athletes at sports events and then turn around and go to an extracur-rcicular activity the next day, I hope we can remember what it was

    like to be a freshman.It doesn’t seem like too long ago that I was running into doors and asking those oh-so-famous freshman questions. Eg: So can I sharpen my pencil?While I was definite-ly a noob freshman, I was very lucky to have some great se-niors who didn’t shove me into lockers, but shoved me into con-

    current classes. They didn’t push me, but they pushed me into think-ing about my future.I hope that we as seniors can be like that for our underclassmen this year. So as we make our way down the halls this year, let’s not forget that at one point we were freshman, too. Help them out when you can, because we’re the leaders now. Here’s to senior year, folks.

    Monsters University: it’s okay to be you

    By Kylee Anthony

    Right away, Mike de-cides his life goal is to become a scarer: these are the monsters who creep into little kids bed-rooms around the world and collect precious "scream power" with an incredible roar or shriek. Sully is Mike's oppo-site. He is a lazy smart-aleck. He doesn't have as much imagination as some of his classmates think, and he's so ter-rified of failure that he has turned underachiev-ing into a safety blanket. The movie has a little lesson about motivation.

    petition. To avoid get-ting put into a "boring" career track, such as producing scream con-tainers, they participate in the mini games in the competition and their strengths and weak-nesses become clear.

    Mike Wazowski, a green, one-eyed ball with limbs voiced by Billy Crystal, and James P. Sullivan, a fluffy ox-type creature with ma-genta polka-dots voiced by John Goodman, are an inseparable pair, but that wasn't always the case. I think this is an awe-some story about how friendship builds on it-self. From the moment these two monsters met they couldn't stand each other. Monsters University unlocks the door to how Mike and Sully overcame their differences and became the best of friends. The movie starts by showing Mike as a young monster. He's not what you'd call “nor-mal.” He’s the smart kid in all of the gifted classes, but he lacks the talents and skills that the others have. Sully, the big blue par-ty animal Mike meets at college, is the opposite. He's the son of a family praised for its multi-generational scaring ability, coasting through life by his name. Sully is the kind of person for whom success seems to come easily. Mike and Sully try to enter the school's Scare Program by winning the annual campus scaring com-

    Mike wants more than anything to be scary, and he obsesses over the task. However, usu-ally the thing we want to be good at isn’t al-ways what we are meant to be. As for a comedy about college, the time in a new adult’s life when anything seems possible, Monsters University is a “great way to see the fun. “

    I woud definitely re-comend this movie because it was a good movie for any audience and a crazy mixture of comedy and conflict. Now out on DVD.

    “ I like them because they actually taste good this year,” said freshman Trey Jenkins.

    Who knows Derek Franken best?

    “I dont eat them. I bring my own lunch,” said sophomore Josie Smith.

    “I like them because they are a well-balanced nutritious meal. I really enjoy the salad/fruit bar,” said Mr. McNorton.

    “They’re good quality, but not good quantity,” said junior Alex Schmille.

    “I think they are way better than last year,” said senior Holly Stegall.

    New Students and staff join the THS Family

    Mr. Todd Shifflett is a new teacher at Troy High School. This is his first teaching job. He has an older brother named Stuart. His home town is in Kings City, Missouri, but he currently resides in St. Joe, Missouri. He has moved a total of four times. Before he lived in St. Joe he lived in Ripon, Wisconsin; Maryville, Missouri; and before that Kings City. He went to high school at Kings City R1 High School. He first went to Ripon College where he played football for a year and a half but then trans-ferred to Northwest. His first impression of Troy was that it remind-ed him a lot of Kings City. “People here are warm and welcoming. Also the town is about the same size as Kings City,” said Shifflett. What he enjoys most about teaching is, “see-ing the students succeed and working with them to help improve them-selves,” Shifflett said. When he isn’t coach-ing or teaching, he bow hunts, works out, and watches the Roy-als. Also when he bow hunts, he films his hunts with Stuart. He is the assistant coach for both baseball and football. He is also sponsoring the student council.

    Coming all the way from France is Jeanne Bergeonneau. Jeanne was born in France but now lives in Troy on Last Chance Road with Michelle and Doug Duncan. She is attend-ing Troy High School as a sophomore. Jeanne has three siblings, all girls. Jeanne’s hobbies in-clude playing the piano, swimming, horseback riding, and boating.When asked her opinion about Troy, Jeanne said, “Troy is small, but fun.” Before coming to Troy High School, Jeanne at-tended school at Exter-nat Des Enfants Nan-tais (which is a school in France). She chose to attend Troy High School because she would like to learn bet-ter English and would like to practice a sport. Jeanne’s plans after high school are to go back to Fransh School Eden (a college in France) and to be a pho-tographer or a journalist.

    Ms. Jessica Talia-ferro is from Effing-ham, KS, but she is now living in Troy. She at-tended high school at ACCHS, and then at-tended college at Allen Community College in Iola, KS. She went on to study at Kansas State University in Manhat-tan to major in agri-cultural education. She has two siblings, a brother and sister, both older than she. In her spare time, she enjoys attending K-State foot-ball games and cooking. Her first impression of Troy was that it’s a “nice community,” What she enjoys most about teaching is hav-ing a different class every hour, and work-ing with students. This is her first year of teaching, and she is also the FFA sponsor and freshman class sponsor.

    Junior, Allyson Bu-dine, is one of the two new students to Troy High. Budine is origi-nally from Troy, but for the past eight years she has lived in many places around the state of Loui-siana, including New Orleans, Alexandria, and Baton Rouge. “We moved away because of my dad’s job,” Budine explained. Budine has attended many differ-ent schools. She has at-tended Grace Christian in Alexandria, Chris-tian Life Academy in Baton Rouge, and she was also homeschooled. This past summer Budine and her family, including her siblings, Austin, Alex, Alyssa and Abby, moved back to Troy. “I came to Troy because all my cousins go here,” said Budine, “My first impression of Troy was that it was very small like out of a country song.” Some of her hobbies include soft-ball, volleyball, music, and eating Chinese food. Some of Budine’s fa-vorite things include the color green and coun-try singer, Eric Church. After high school, she plans to attend college, but she is undecided on the school and the major.
