Class Motto Not Finishedg just Begunn Class Color Class Flower Gray and Gold Yellow Rose 21 CLASS HISTORY It all started 12 years ago, when a group of sleepy-eyed students filed into a class- room early one morning. We began a long hard climb to the top and now, have finally reached that goal. Our first few years were spent in making many acquaintances, and in becoming ac- customed to rising early in the morning. l don't suppose many of us remember much about the classroom work, but all of a sudden we found we could pick up a news- paper and read a few words. And then, just 4 years ago, we began the final steps up that ladder. How time has flown! In our freshman year we wel- comed Jim Romine and Jackie Miers to our class. For the first time a school dance was held. The baseball team annexed the county championship. When we were sophomores three of our classmates were elected as cheerleaders CBetty, Paul, and Margej. Our basket- ball team won the sectional and regional tourneys, and advanced to the finals of the Semi-Finals at Muncie. Our baseball team again won the county champion- ship. And then, joy of all joys, our maroon and white class sweaters arrived. No one could have been prouder! Last year our basketball team won the county tourney. Our baseball team annexed its third consecutive county championship. Again three members of our class were chosen as cheerleaders CBetty, Paul, Margej. We presented our first class play, Jumping Jewelsv, and we received our be- loved class rings! Betty Eastes, Jack Eisen- hart and Beverly Rogers were welcomed into our class in the course of the year. Bob Lines also returned to our class, mak- ing the 34th member to graduate. This year we again presented a play, In Again! Out Again! . Wfe were kept busy exchanging senior pictures and hand- ing name cards to admiring under-class- men. Our basketball team again won the county tourney and lost only one game during the course of the year. CConverse 37-38 overtimej. A halloween carnival was held for the first time and two seniors-Jack Colescott and Margie Eubank were elected king and queen. Now we stand at the top. Ready to ad- vance forth into the world to find our place. It hasn,t been easy, and as our motto says, we are Not Finished: just Begun . THE ANNUAL STAFF This year's annual staff has attempted to bring to the students of Gas City High School and to the Community, a glimpse of school life through the medium of the camera. The staff hopes, that through their ef- forts, the memories of the last year that G. C. H. S. will operate as a separate unit may be preserved for the future.

Wigs That was the title of the play presented by this year's senior class. The perform- ance was presented on November 19, 1947, at 8:00 P.M. in the high school gym. The action begins when Noah and Candy becomes secretly married. Because of the fighting between families, they are afraid to make notice of their marriage public. At this point Honey enters and tries to discourage I-Ienry's attention by telling .- him she's married to Noah. Aunt Dodie arrives on the scene and she is convinced that Henry is the man for Honey. She threatens to disinherit I-Ioney when Lynn Lane, one of I-Ienry,s flames, arrives. Prof Meade, Whom I-Ioney met on a train and fell madly in love with, arrives and he too, thinks she is married to Noah. But all's well that ends well, and this play did! Everybody got her man!

They have raised the money by sponsoring dances and selling Tiger emblems. If they continue the good work their prosperity should further grow through-out their high school years and this experience will be helpful during their junior year. During their junior year there will be many responsibilities for them to meet. They will be expected to sell candy and pencils, and most important, to present a play. We feel this class will be able to do even more than their part in meeting each requirement. i CLASS OFFICERS Patty Bowers, ,, ...H , . ,- ..,,, President Andy Turnerw, . ,,,Vice President Mickey Malloy, , , , Secretary Bill King -,.. ,,-,Tre.isurer 36 SOPHOMORES-CLASS OF 1950 M ii ,fy First Row QLeft to rightj-Roberta McClain, Arlene Ancil, Teddy Wfheeler, Patty Bowers, Bill King, Audrey Kelley, Norma Foreman, Jack Bonewitz and Roberta W'illiams.

Each class nominated two candidates. The senior represent- atives-Jack Colescott and Marge Eubank-won the contest. The votes were sold for a penny a piece and anyone could cast as many votes as he desired. Several prizes were presented to the couple by Mr. Hengstler, following the Coronation service. 46 HALLOWEEN CARNIVAL Une of the most eventful affairs of the year was a halloween car- nival sponsored by the Epoch staff and the recreational department. The frolic was held at the Gas City High School Gym, on the evening of October 30, 1947. Ours was the first carnival of this type to be held in this com- munity. It was attended by a large number of people who enjoyed them- selves by throwing darts tossing balls at milk bottles, fishing, shooting the basketball, playing bingo, upset-the-joe, blanket sale, a fortune- tellers stand, and a refreshment stand. 47 INDIANA VS. PITTSBURGH Did you go? If you didn't you sure missed a lot of fun. It all started about 8.30 a.m. Saturday, October 18, 1947. The weather looked ter- rible and we thought we were in for a bad day but we left anyway. By the time we had driven about 20 miles we drove smack into a storm. A big trans- fer had skidded off the road and another one was stopped along the side of it. The weather was not only damp but so were our spirits. But nothing stops Seniors, so we began singing Cruin more songs that wayj and our singing led to laughing and before we knew it we were in Indianapolis-and the sun was shining! More songs, more miles -gee, I'm hungry-so we stopped at Martinsville for our lunch. Beverly didn,t think so much of her small lunch, huh, Bev? We piled back into the car, so began again. More songs, some yells Qnever do we forget our Tigersj and we finally reached our destination Bloomington-hurrah! We charged into the stadium, dashed madly around the whole field before find- ing just the right seat. Miss Covalt would make a good member of the Track Team. The game wasn't bad, not many thrills but I. U. won 41 to 6. Saw Mr. Freden- berger and some members of the Baseball Squad, got a glimpse of some underclass- men in Martinsville on the way back. We stopped outside Indianapolis for dinner. By this time Margie was so hungry, she tried to eat a stuffed squirrel that was in the Sportsman Room of the restaurant. CXVe saw you, Wfebbj After supper we saw Ted Weems and his orchestra and Beverly Tyler Qstar of The Green Yearsnj in person. After laughing and singing all day, we were pretty quiet the rest of the way from Indianapolis to Gas City, but the minute we saw our beloved Bridge, a cheer went up. It was about 12:45 so we said our good- bye quietly so we wouldn't wake the neigh- bors Cthey were probably watching out their windows anyway wondering why we got home so latej football games are nice, but so is sleep-ZZZ Q . A Q! N VALENTINE DANCE A Valentine Dance was held on the evening of January 30, in the high school gym. It was jointly sponsored by the student council and the staff of the Tale Lite. The decorations were simple but prettyg they consisted of hearts arranged around the walls and of an ivy-covered arch erected in the center of the floor. A large paper bag containing balloons dangled from the ceilingg they were released by Mr. I-Iengstler into the midst of the dancers. The dance was a semi-formal affair, and all in all, every one had an enjoyable evening. 49 E 25E2fz'7'fw'7 Q TRACK QUEEN Each year it is customary for the students of G.C.H.S. to elect a track queen and court. Eleven candidates competed for the honor this year. The students, under the direction of the Student Council, voted by secret ballot and elected Marjorie Eubank our Track Queen of 1948. Marjorie served on the queen's court in 47 . The four girls who received the next highest number of votes, be- came the queen,s court. They were as follows: Toni Miitsch fseniorj, Laqueita Smith fseniorj, Marilyn Street Cseniorj, and Marion Manor Cjuniorj . The coronation dance was held April 9, 1948, in the high school gymnasium. The gym was brightly decorated with crepe paper streamers. The Queen and her court were seated on a gaily decorated platform in front of the stage. After the crowning of the Queen, she and her court were led in a dance by their escorts through aisles made by hurdles. The coronation was followed by a semi-formal dance, which every- one enjoyed thoroughly. S0 JUNIOR CLASS PLAY His Name W'as Aunt Nellien The Junior Class presented their annual class play on April 15, at 8:00 p.m. in the high school gym. The play was under the direction of Miss Covalt. The cast, which gave an excellent performance, was as follows: Mr. Baldwin t, -. A . .. S. . S. S John Pattison Mrs. Baldwin...

Jerry , who wants to marry Sheila, proves his acting ability through these impersonations. In the end he wins Sheila and a new house. 51 CALENDAR FOR THE SEPTEMBER Back to school.

THE VARSITY SQUAD The Gas City Tigers of 1947-48, finish- ing basketball for Gas City', in favor of Mississinewa next year, closed their record books with one of the most impressive seasons ever completed by Gas City. Topped only by a tough Converse team, midway in the season, and a red-hot Marion team in the finals of the sectional, they won 23 and lost 2. They successfully defended their Grant County Conference leadership and also Won again the annual Grant County Tourney, held at Memorial Coliseum, in Marion. They defeated their arch rival, Jefferson Township in the first game, and then pol- ished off Van Buren and Svvayzee in hard fought games to bring the trophy home. They amassed a total of 1025 points While limiting their opponents to 743. This gave them an average of 41 points, per game, while their opponents average was 29.7.

After starting off what looked like would be an undefeated season, the BH team fell off a little and ended with only a fairly creditable season. However they gained much-needed experience for the coming season with the initial Mississinewa team. This year's second team had quite a bit of heightg however they lacked the spot shooters that are necessary for a winning team. If they had had one or two of these, some of the scores might have been differ- ent. Still they had a winning season and should provide plenty of material for the future teams of M. H. S. Comparative scores showed the team compiling a total of 457 points to its opponents 362.

The girls wore white blouses and black skirts and the last of the season they added maroon fezzes, to their costumes. The girls formed letters by various man- euvers of standing and sitting, which made our yell block outstanding in the county. The yell leaders-Betty King, Paul Car- mony and Mickey Malloy-have intro- duced several new yells and songs. The ex- cellent supervision of Miss Covalt and the yell leaders have made the pep club a very successful one.

The game was at Jonesboro. The Tigers started off with 3 runs in the Ist and 4 in the 2nd, and then came the blitzing, the big inning being the 3rd, when 12 men crossed the plate for Gas City. Duckworth hit a home run, and Harris got S out of 7 to take batting honors. Duckworth and Miller split the pitching assignment, allowing 3 hits and no runs, Gas City 12 - Van Buren 3 Belting across 7 runs in the top half of the 6th inning, the Gas City Tigers scored their second successive victory, topping the Van Buren Aces 12-3. Miller pitched the entire game, allowing only 4 hits and 3 runs. Ad- kins pitched for Van Buren, giving up 15 hits and 12 runs. Romine blasted out a home run in the 6th inning, and Harris got 3 hits in 4 trips to the plate, to take hitting honors. Gas City 15 - Fairmount 1 Being unable to secure the Onized Dia- mond, the school oficials moved the Fair- mount game to the V. A. Diamond at Mar- ion. The Gas City Tigers secured their 3rd victory in as many starts by beating the Quakers 15-1. Duckworth pitched 6 innings, allowing 4 hits and one run. Miller pitched the seventh, giving up one hit. Monk Pattison got 3 hits for 3 at bat to lead the Tigers. Jack Colescott and John Pattison chipped in with a double and a single apiece. Gas City 1 - Jefferson 3 Ending a reign of 24 consecutive games won, stretching over a period of 3K years, the Gas City Tigers were defeated 3-1, at Jefferson. It was a well-played game, with the outcome in doubt until the final out was made. Sam Trout pitched for the Yeoman, allowing 5 hits and 1 run. He also blasted out a home run in the lst with no one on base. Allen Duckworth also pitched credit- ably, allowing S hits and 3 runs. The Yeo- man, however. bunched their S hits in the right places to sew up the game. Gas City 27 - Swayzee 5 The Tigers coming back after their first defeat of the season, swamped Swayzee 27- S at the Onized field. Ronald Pattison collected two for two. john Pattison hammered out 3 for 3, in- cluding a double. Jack Colescott had 3 for 5. Bob Strausbaugh and Bill Harris got two for five. Three pitchers took the mound for Swayzee, but they proved to be inadequate to stop the Tiger offensive. Duckworth pitched 4 innings, allowing 2 hits and 4 runs. Miller finished the game for Gas City, allowing 1 hit and 1 run. Gas City 32 - St. Paul 0 Hammering out 24 hits, the Gas City Tigers closed a successful season by trounc- ing St. Paul 32-0, at Gas City. Miller pitched the entire game, allow- ing all of the visitors 3 hits and no runs. l-le also led the team at bat, getting 4 for 4.

TRACK SQUAD This year's track squad was in the stage of rebuilding, with most of the emphasis placed upon developing boys for the seasons of 49', and S0,'. Some forty boys reported for track when the call was made. Most of these were freshmen, who lacked experienceg therefore Coach Chap- lin had to depend upon returning veterans from the junior and senior classes for the main strength of his team. This is Coach Champlin's first year at G. C. H. S. He is a graduate of Indiana Central.

Raymond BCCFS, Janice Walsh, Mr. Hengstler, principal, David O'Brien and Marlene Hinsley STUDENT COUNCIL The Student Council consists of eight members, two representatives from each class. Later in the year Norma Shipley, who withdrew from school, was replaced by Peggy Griffin. The council has been very active this year. They have provided several convo- cations including Kert Binnett, who gave a program about Lincoln. He had with him relics from the Civil War and from other historic periods in history. Another of these convocations was given by Rev. and Mrs. Powell who had traveled through Central and South America. The student body was shown slides which were taken during their trip. They told of the life in South Ameri- ca and showed lace-work, rugs, pottery, and other crafts of which the South Ameri- can people are skilled in. The Student Council also arranged for a Christmas program, conducted a Clean- Up Week, which resulted in cleaning up the school, and encouraged courtesy among the students by means of a Courtesy Wfeek. They also invited the Jefferson township Student Council to a luncheon. At that time ideas were exchanged between schools. The council sold arm patches and license plates which were maroon with a white Tiger head and Gas City Tigers printed on them. This year the Student Council has carried out it's work very efficiently. 1 n THE TALE LITE .-94-f- 4--- i 1 ,Alb ' f- use V w .QA Z .x..... Els ,.,Q . -.
