THE RAMBLER Junior A History “Silently one by one, in the infinite meadows of heaven, Blossomed the lovely stars, the forget-me-nots of the angels.” So was it in T. C. H. S. after the memorable date, Sept. 11, 1921. Four and twenty timorous and precautions Freshmen enrolled on that day. They soon evinced that true worth is in being not seeming. Algebra and Latin held no terrors for the most of them and due to the generosity of these, they held few for the rest. Midterm exams left the class little al- tered in number and less timid in spirit. High School was no longer an institution of Mystery. Two events that call to mind pleasant memories were the class party and the hike to Blue Wells. The one thing of regret in this term was the departure of our revered principal, Professor Locker. We were sorry to give Mr. Locker to Terre Haute for he was an able teach- er and a good disciplinarian. What he did for old T. C. H. S. will long be remembered. Sept. 12, 1922 found the Freshmen of ’21 no longer “downtrodden Freshies” but respected Sophomores. Three of their former members had left for other schools and another felt that she had learned so much in the first year that she need not continue longer. The boys were delighted to find that they were to be recompensed by the addition of two new girls to the class. The class now numbering seventeen vigorously attacked the giants, Geometry, Caesar and Ancient History. English proved to be as interesting and enjoyable as it had the previous year. From midterm exams this little group came off smiling, ready for the fight again. To their sorrow, since the opening of school in September, they had lost three more members but this is always to be expected and they took it as cheer- fully as possible. A far greater loss was at hand. This was occasioned by the death of our most beloved superintendent, Professor Christian New- man. It came as a blow to the school which had been so carefully fostei'ed by his ministering hand. Mr. Newman will ever stand in the minds of his pupils as a figure of benevolence and courtesy. To commemorate his mem- ory the new Tell City school building was given the name, Newman Build- ing. This edifice will stand as an honor to his name. Sept. 17, 1923 again found the class united but this time as Juniors. Only one old member was missing and two new ones had come in. making fifteen in all. They threw themselves into their work with the pep and vim characteristic of them. Their reward has been pleasure from their studies and appreciation from their teachers. To add to the interest of this year has been the numerous basketball games and the record attained by the T. C. H. S. boys. The basketball season was brought to a triumphant close with the Sectional Tourney which fortunately, was played here. This closes the history of the class of ’25 so far as it has gone. It is looking forward to a bright and happy future. —BLANCHE HARGIS Page Twenty-seven
