THE RAMBLER HISTORY OF CLASS OF MAY—(Continued) Martin went to Louisville Ky., and entered St. Mary’s College; while Mamie Brumfield accepted a position as clerk in a local grocery store. But to bal- ance this loss of members, we found that we had been joined by a new one, Charles (Fat) Marshall, who nearly made up for the weight lost by the class if he didn’t for the number. The changes in the faculty this year were the replacement of Profes- sor Lewis by Professor Hannah, and the replacement of Miss Grossman by Miss Muelchi. At the annual class election it was decided that the class couldn’t do without Leona at its head. Fat Marshall, our new member, was our only representative on the Varsity Basketball Team this year, while Spatz represented the class on the track team. Fritz Bartholett, another heavy weight joined the class about mid- term. We don’t know much about Fritz, but he says he hailed from Keokuk, Iowa, but he also says he can play standing forward, so we don’t know whether to believe him or not. A great calamity befell our school on the 19th of February, when our beloved Superintendent and friend Mr. Newman “crossed the bar.” His passing was a loss not only to the school, but to the city and surround- ing community. After the death of Mr. Newman, Professor Hannah was promoted to the rank of Superintendent, while Professor Botts, from Kokomo, Ind., a man of few words, filled the vacancy left by the promotion of Professor Hannah. The various entertainments this year consisted of an all day outing at Blue Wells. This was the first day “Fat” went on a trip with us. Fat could not climb up Blue Wells because he said his trousers were too tight. Mrs. Cummings sponsored us on this trip. The next trip was a weiner roast on Camp Fenn; Miss Coldewey sponsored us. The girls’ singing was ac- companied by Miss Coldewey and her ukulele. The girls also were given target practice by Maurice Vogel with a .22 revolver and some blank shells. A backward party was given by us at which the Seniors were our honored guests. At last the fall of 1923 came and with it two new members to the Senior Class, Victor Schriefer and Anna Heubi, of the 11 A’s, who had taken up summer school in order to graduate with us. Upon considering the matter we found they were both desirable members, the girls favoring Victor and the boys favoring Anna, so we gave them a warm welcome. We had three new faculty members this year. Professor O’Bryan successor to Professor Botts, Miss Thresher successor to Miss Vance, while Professor Dixon is an extra addition to the faculty. At mid-term we were joined by three new members, Stanley (Doll) and Dortha Rohn from Advance, Ind., and Stanley Dixon from Bristow. Fat Marshall, Victor Schriefer, Ralph Sparrow and Stanley Rohn repre- sented the Senior class on the Varsity Basketball Team. The first social event was the Hallowe’en Party. It was held in the gymnasium of the Newman Building. As we were very busy working on the Annual we didn’t have much time for social activities, but on Sunday morning, immediately after church we had an outing at Rome.

THE RAMBLER 12B Class History Lives of great men all remind us We can make our lives sublime, And departing leave behind us Footprints on the sands of time. Oh, that unforgettable day when our beloved class first graced the Tell City High School with its presence. We were sixteen in number and a brilliant bunch we were. Cold shivers chased each other up and down our spines when Mr. Locker hammered his knife on the window-sill for order in the Assembly. Then followed our greatest humiliation, ignorance of the line of march. Every one had a good laugh at our expense but all of us took it seriously except our star, Edwin Rauh, who did not seem to mind at all. After this the regular order of classes for the day followed. We thought that Latin was a delightful novelty and easy to master but Miss Smith soon brought us to our senses. Our best-liked class of that year was Algebra, of which Mr. Newman was teacher. Three of our members left us before the term expired, William Sandage, Edwin Rauh and Mozelle Blinzinger. When we became 9 A’s we gained a new member, our beloved reader, Nellie Seigfried, but she soon left us as she thought she could do better by taking a commercial course. At the mid-term promotion we became Sophomores and then we could laugh at the green Freshmen. Our outstanding entertainment of this year was our trip to Blue Wells with Mr. Lee as our sponser. Our star class this year was Geometry which we had in the Assembly and the Juniors and Seniors learned many things from us which even the teachers did not know. This year we all had a great shock. Mr. Locker left us to finish his degree at Terre Haute. Mr. Lewis flew in to fill his place and next came Mr. Hannah. We liked Mr. Hannah so well that we took him for our spon- ser in our Junior year. When we were Junior B’s a great calamity fell upon the school. Our beloved friend and teacher, Mr. Newman, passed to the other and better world where “the weary are at rest.” Mr. Hannah then became Superin- tendent and Mr. Botts, Principal. Mr. Botts was very unfortunate in hav- ing boils on his neck and also in forgetting to go to class sometimes. This year our class went to Brushy Fork to fish. Mr. Hannah caught one fish which was of such a great size that it wasn’t worth carrying home. When we were 11 As, two of our members, Anna Heubi and Victor Schriefer thought that we were too insignificant to be with so they joined the state- ly Seniors. The Seniors this year gave a Halloween Party at the Gym which we all attended. Finally we became Seniors but alas! our class had dwindled down to nine. We were small in number but by no means small in intellect. We will soon be through High School and then we will go out into the world and make it sit up and take notice of us.
