47 Class History On September 7, 1943, fifty-four girls and boys enrolled for their first year at Cannelton High School. This group of boys and girls set down to the task of getting acquainted and organizing themselves into a class. The class officers were as follows: President, Dorothy Dunn; Vice-President, Joseph Elder; Secretary, Bobby Mogan ; Treasurer, Gertrude Shadwick; Historian, Doris Daum. Our freshman sponsors were Mr. Dauby and Mr. T.ittle. At the end of the freshmen year, three of our class received awards as follows: Doris Daum, activities award : Bob Jones, athletic award ; Mavtha Schurtter, scholastic award. In spite of the trials we endured as “green freshies” it was a very enjoyable year and we looked forward eagerly to the next year. By the time the Sophomore year rolled around, the number of members in our class had decreased to thirty-nine. Mr. Little again served as sponsor along with Miss Gratzer. Our officers were Carolyn Birchler, President; Bob Jones, Vice-President; Joe Elder, Secretary ; Charles May, Treasurer; Bill Conner, Historian. We had now completed half of our high school work. Our class started the year as “jolly juniors” with thirty-nine members, but during the year the following members withdrew: Jerry Allen, Jorene Alvey, Alfred Powers, Marjorie Reed, and Hargis Thomas. Melba Maxey entered our class from Huntingburg, Indiana. Junior class officers were Bob Jones, President; Jean Ramsey, Vice-President; Bill Conner. Secretary; Ann Sterett, Treasurer; Ruth Hay, Reporter; Maytha Schurtter, Historian. Our sponsors for the year were Miss Gratzer and Mr. Park. This year our class was host to the senior class at the Junior-Senior Banquet held in the basement of the Methodist Church on May 19, 1946. Mrs. Jean Campbell’s Accordion Band provided the entertainment. The class had now advanced to the ranks of “dignified seniors.” Officers for our senior year were Doris Daum, President; Bob Jones, Vice-President; Carolyn Birchler, Secretary and Treasurer; Maytha Schurtter, Historian. Seniors sponsors were Miss Byerley and Mr. Zollman. Our class colors were blue and white, our flowers were sweetpeas, and our motto was “Ambition has no rest.” On Eebruary 5, 1947 our class, along with Mr. Beavers and Miss Schnell, chartered a bus and went to Indianapolis. We visited the State House and the two houses of the General Assembly which were in session. This was the first time in the history of C. H. S. that a class took such a trip. Thirteen members of our class—Bill Conner, Doris Daum, Ann Sterett, Bobby I luff, Jean Ramsey, Dorothy Dunn, Carolyn Birchler, Eloise Burton, Mary Ahrens, Thelma Kendall, Betty Mogan, Albert Parks, and Maytha Schurtter, were in the Journalism Class and had charge of publishing the school paper, the Hi-Life. The Notlennac Staff consisted of Dorothy Dunn, Doris Daum, Bob Jones, Albert Parks, Ann Sterett, Carolyn Birchler, Maytha Schurtter, Bobby Huff, Kenneth Ramsey, and Bill Conner. These students worked under the direction of Miss Byerley to prepare the Notlennac, the year book of C. H. S. This is the history of the Class of 1947 of Cannelton High School. 14 The 1947 Notlennac
