Tell City High School - Sagittarius Yearbook (Tell City, IN)

Text from Pages 1 - 76 of the 1948 volume:

rJswem Mi One word can describe the years we have spent in Tell City High School. That word is growth. During these four short years we have matured physically, developed mentally, and broadened spiritually. Yes the word “Growth” certainly embodies our high school days. More than that, we have set as our goal the continuance of this growth. We realize that such perpetual growth is necessary for a full and happy life, and we are thankful that our short stay in TCHS has fitted us to continue to grow in mind and spirit. Our motto, “Heights Beckon Us,” is the essence of our desire for constant growth. Here in the sheltering halls of our alma mater, we have tried our abilities and realize that we have accomplished this much, and can hope to accomplish more, only by uninterrupted growth. For these reasons we have chosen as our theme the noun “Growth.” May we live up to the ideals for which it stands! SAGITTARIUS, 1948 € i i i i I 0fiUratimt This annual is dedicated to Major-General Edwin Davis Patrick, USA, who was editor of the first annual ever to be published in this high school. This annual, called the “Rambler,” appeared in 1912. General Patrick was killed in the line of duty near Manila on March 15, 1945, while commanding the 6th Infantry Division. His death prompted this remark from General Douglas MacArthur, He was one of the most gifted and distinguished leaders in the Southwest Pacific.” Because General Patrick was this type of man, we have dedicated this annual to him, hoping that we may, by recalling the standards he set forth for living a good life, achieve some of the many great qualities he possessed. T l SAGITTARIUS, 1948 ADMINISTRATI ON PAUL SCHAEFER. CLARENCE DAVIS. OSCAR BOGER. The Board of Education is comprised of the above people. These men have given freely of their time in order that we may enjoy the privilege of attending one of the best ten schools in Indiana. These three men set the school policy, along with Mr. Dixon, and secure the best possible faculty advisers for the students of Tell City High School. It is largely through their efforts that we are now able to boast of the high standards of Tell City High. We take this opportunity to publicly express our ap- preciation for all of the many things they have done for us. Mr. Dixon attends to the administration of all four schools in Tell City, a job that requires efficiency and know- ledge. In the past years Mr. Dixon has proven that he pos- sesses all the requisites for an ideal Superintendent of Schools. Although Jean Wetzel is not a member of the faculty, she fills a very important pos- ition. As secretary to Mr. Dixon, she relieves him of most of the routine work con- nected with his job. N. DIXON SAGITTARIUS, 1948 We, the students of the schools of America, face a great responsibility when we leave the beloved halls of our Alma Mater and take our place in the world. The faculty of Tell City High School has prepared us to meet this responsibility. Our teachers, in the short space of four years, have transformed us from immature freshmen into future citizens of which America can be proud. They took our minds and, as a sculptor fashions the raw clay into a finished statue, transformed them into instruments which will be used in the most constructive way possible. During our four years in TCHS our bodies grew according to nature’s plan, but our minds grew ac- cording to the faculty’s plan. We trusted them with our minds, and they fulfilled our trust by nourishing them with knowledge and character. We have not always given the proper appreciation to our teachers. When we were freshmen we respected them because we feared them. By the time we were sophomores we respected them and probably griped about the assignments they kept giving us. When we were juniors a small idea of the tremendous job which faced the teachers and the skill with which they were working began to grow in our minds. And now that we are seniors we respect and admire them for their patience, their under- standing, their unfaltering faith in us and their courage. Perhaps the faculty may get some satisfaction in knowing that we are their children. Each teacher has been reproducing their minds, their dreams and their character. We are offspring of that reproduction. May we do credit to the parents of our minds. SAGITTARIUS, 1948 FACULTY LESTER T. LEE Principal EDWARD J. PETER Science. Mathematics ADAH ROYAL Dean of Girls.

Until now we shared the comfort and championship of a closely knitted group. We have been through the first phase of our life and are now ready to go on as individuals. There are farewells to say. decisions to make, and new responsibilities to shoulder. Now more will be expected of us and less forgiven us. In the fast moving world of today there is no place for slow-motion, mental reactions, or fuzzy reasoning. We are not fully educated and must not let ourselves believe that we are. Most of us realize that we are to be the citizens of tomorrow and that we must learn new things and progress in order to make our life and our country a success. In the age of today there is no one standing still; we are either going forward or backward. We have but one life to live on this earth and may we make a success of that one life. At first we will find many problems confronting us that we will not know how to solve, and only through experience will we learn to solve such problems. The change from childhood and early youth to manhood will not be an overnight affair as some might be led to believe. There are many who have done outside work while going to school. This will aid them in a short-cut to early maturity but even they will find things much different when they are left entirely on their own and are to make all their decisions and to completely support themselves. Tasks worthy of effort are stern in their demands, but we will know the stimulus of the striving and the satisfaction of seeing our capa- cities developed to their fullest extent. During four years of continual progress at Tell City High School we have attemnted to orenare ourselves to meet the problems and tasks ahead of us. Many will turn to college in order that they might more readily find their place in the ever advanc- ing world. We have not been preparing just to live in the future, but our school experiences have been living experiences. We do not feel like babes turn- ed out into a cold world, but as individuals seeking recognition as citizens and able to share the responsibilities of our fellow men. A number of us can go from here feeling that we are already part of this busy American industrial svstem. By that I mean that we have actual experience in many cases. The value of part-time work is a debat- able question, but it is to me the most important experience that can be had. If the student gets practical experience along with the regular school activities he will have a broader education. We are convinced that the American way of life is the highest achievement of any government—past or present—we cannot approve of any group or organization that would seek to overthrow that government by force. And we hope that in the event of a call to protect this great nation, that not a one would seek to be released from his obligation. The greatest weapon with which to contest Un-Americanism is education. A life of achievement and action is no level road. Let us determine to live our lives each day as we would climb a steep mountain, slowly and steadily, giving an occasional glance toward the top to keep the goal in view, pausing often along the way to marvel at each new scene; taking time out to laugh when we may and lend a hand when necessary to a fellow climber who finds the going too rough; relishing the exciting challenge that each turn of the trail brings.

FBLA 4; Booster Club 4; GAA 1, 2, 4 SAGITTARIUS, 1948 CLASS HISTORY The history of our class began when we came to Tell City High School from our respective grade schools, ready and willing to challenge the greater tasks of higher education. That was back in September, 1944. Naturally the first thing that faced us was the job of selecting our subjects. What vocat.on should we select if we hadn't already selected one? Would this vocation be the one that we would follow through our entire life? Would we success- fully pass through the threshold of secondary learning and come out respectful, ambitious, and conscientious citizens of which our teachers, elders, and this magnificent country could be proud? It all depended on us, the citizens of tomorrow. These were a few of the many problems that confronted us, and only time, which quickly passes, w 11 have given the answers as we pass from these portals of secondary learning into the world. When we reminisce over our beloved days in high school, we realize our mistakes and ac- complishments and clearly see how those errors could have been avoided. Our freshmen days brought joys and sorrows and our activities were strictly limited to fresh- men privileges—which were few and far be- tween. At our first class meeting, we or- ganized our class by electing officers and sponsors. As our Superior, we elected Ralph Alvey and Vice-Superior, Joyce Shaw. Leo “Pee Wee” Bower was elected to keep our minutes and Dorothy Schaefer was elected our money-keeper. M ss Vandeveer and Miss Dew, our supervisors, were of invaluable help in making decisions and planning our activities. At last our long journey up the road of edu- cation could begin. We were determined to do our level best to reach new heights and by ag- gressive effort, we did get a foothold. Our first activity, a dance, provided us with a sum of money which was put in the treas- ury. The Seniors sponsored a carnival in which we were invited to participate. To represent us, a king. Bob Hartz, and a queen, Laveme Gramelspacher, were selected. That phase in our life as Freshmen in TCHS had now passed and we had to move on to greater tasks which only those who had passed over the first obstacle of the journey, were eligible to undertake. As the second obstacle appeared, we were better prepared and not afraid to face it. Jog- ging onward, we consisted of one hundred and two students, five less than the original num- ber of one hundred and seven. By now we had learned that only success is ga ned by hard work and constant effort. Edi- son’s theory, success is one per cent inspiration and ninety-nine per cent perspiration, was very true indeed. We now realized the importance of educat on, which would eventually lead to success in the world today. Our grasp was stronger. Our journey was no harder than it was when we started except that we had to assume greater responsibilities and undertake bigger tasks. Our second year in TCHS brought many more activities. To make the journey much more pleasant, we elected as the Head of our caravan, Maydell MJls and the Vice- master was Ralph Boerste. Paul Simpson accepted the position as scribe and treasurer. Since our two previous supervisors had ac- cepted other positions, we had to select two new ones. This we did with much caution and preciseness. Miss Royal and Mr. Beatty, two capable and willing sponsors, could and did help us very much in strengthening our foun- dation. A new traveler was taken into our caravan. His name was Pat Shaver. He had come all the way from Greenville, Kentucky to join us. SAGITTARIUS, 1948 CLASS HISTORY Seriousness was of great importance if we were to reach our destination, but we did not once forget that some fun and frolic must enter into the situation. Our caravan stopped several times so that the participants might have some recreation. This gave the travelers a feeling of gladness, and bound everyone closer and closer together into one mind, body, and spirit. We had now passed through the city of Sopho- more which we would never again see, and en- tered into that realm of Juniors where a new and more complicated obstacle lay ahead. Again we must push on and fight to over- come this third great battle. Eleven more of the group dropped out, which left us with only ninety-one. The size of our caravan was grad- ually decreasing, as was expected: we knew that before long many would eventually drop out or be forced to the side lines. Once more our effort toward education stopped while we took care of some important matters. That was the task of again choosing our officers. After much debate and consideration, we selected Dorothy Schaefer, President, and Vice-Presi- dent, Freddie Brenner. Our new member, Pat Shaver was chosen scribe and money keeper. Our banner was to be blue and gold and our flower, the yellow rose. Our motto. “Heights Beckon Us,” was the one thing that we must live up to and respect. Several successful fund- raising campaigns were conducted. During this time, we received our class rings; that symbol of success. The banquet which we gave our big brothers and sisters, the Seniors, was a great success; and was one of those things that made a mark in our life—something that will be cherished by all and never forgotten by any. This phase of our constant struggle ended with much sincerity and consolation in our hearts. We are now the masters of our caravan, be- cause those before us have already reached their destination and have taken up greater re- sponsibilities in life itself. We are now com- posed of seventy-four ambitious students. Once more we stopped to select our officers. Dorothy Schaefer, our last President, was again chosen, with Pat Shaver as Vice-President. Bernice Briggeman was chosen secretary- treasurer. As our supervisors, we chose Miss Calla Black and Mr. Hugh Thrasher—very cap- able and co-operative teachers. Naturally since we had improved physically and mentally, it would take more money to carry out our tasks. A magazine campaign, a Christmas dance, several skating parties, and many other activities gave us the additional money needed. Along the way we again took on a lonesome traveler. Her name was Eloise Weil. She came all the way from Kingston, New York to be with us and to share our burdens and hard- ships. Now that the journey is almost complete, everyone is excited and wish that they were off the caravan and could do as they please. They do not realize it, but when they get off and go into the world, the going is pretty tough. It is not unt 1 then that they fully understand what this secondary education has meant to them. But then it is too late, for it can never be redone. Class Night on May 24th was made a gala af- fair, with the class presenting a program entitled “Class Night Circus.” The entire class partici- pated in the program. Dot Schaefer gave the Welcoming Address and Freddie Brenner, Ber- nice Briggeman, Shaion Keiser, Bob Hartz, Robert Vaughn, Pat Shaver. Osman Knepper, and Paul Simpson playing the leading roles. This was followed by an all-student dance. Ralph Byrd was named valedictorian, a fit- ting honor for him, and Pat Shaver was saluta- torian in the Commencement exercises. Our caravan is slowly halting, for our des- tination is in sight. These days of toil will never be forgotten and the many friendships that we have acquired can never be broken. Our time to get off is at hand and as good sen- iors we will face it with hearts of gold. To our underclassmen we say, “strive on, never quitting, never shirking. Take up your caravan and strive on to attain those heights. Work harder and harder and reach that peak which so many noble students have reached; that peak as Seniors.’' SAGITTARIUS, 1948 Y JJ ? The underclassmen make up the biggest group in Tell City High School. And yet they are given no more than a page for each of the classes. This was not done because we do not appreciate them and recognize their lead- ing part in school activities. It was done because of a sincere desire on the part of the seniors to break even on this hazardous undertaking, the annual. We feel that if the Class of 1948 is able to come out even on this year’s copy of the “Sagittarius” it will encourage all of the classes which follow us to issue their own copy of an annual. Perhaps some of the later an- nuals will be able to afford individual cuts of all classes but at the present lime it is impossible. We also hope that the underclassmen will not have all of the problems which we have had in publishing this record of our years in Tell City High. We feel that the experience we have gained this year should be of invaluable aid to the later classes, and hope that they all continue to publish bigger and better copies of the “Sagittarius.” SAGITTARIUS, 1948 JUNIORS Gayle Alvey James Beard Walter Baur James Bruggenschmidt John Bruggenschmidt June Bunner Linwell Butler Eufela Cantner Ruth Cassidy August Claise Anna Dauby Lucille Evrard Mary Francis Clarence Gaesser James Gatchel John Gatchel Betty Glover Maurice Goble Rose Ann Goetz Cletus Goffinet Bernadine Gramelspacher Frederic Gramelspacher Hilary Gramelspacher Larry Gunter Doris Ann Harpenau CLASS ROLL James Harpenau Raphael Harpenau Rodger Haskin Augusta Hauser Carroll Hearst Carrie Hinton Marjorie Holman Catherine Howell Patrick Jarboe Anna Jeffers Francis Kleeman Grace Kreisle Donald Lee Kuster Robert Litherland Violet Mallory Maxine May Betty Miles Joan Mogan Margaret Mosby Ralph Paulin Betty Lou Paulin Helen Peter Patricia Peter Mary Pfeiffer Norman Poehleln Marion Ress Vincent Rhodes Preston Richard Dorothy Richey Warren Roeling Clara Sabelhaus Joan Sabelhaus Carl Saunders Thomas Schaefer Roy Schauberger Robert Scheiber Martin Schneider Georgia Lee Schriefer Carl Seibert Bernard Simpson Rita Strobel Alfred Taylor Donald Taylor Loma Taylor Patricia Thomas Mary Catherine Wetzel Earl Zoll Joy Bess Mary Lillian Reynolds Norman Van Winkle SAGITTARIUS, 1948 [ ' SOPHOMORES CLASS ROLL Donald Alvey Loretta Beumel Janice Birchler Jean Blandford Joan Bockhold Laverne Boerste Ralph Boerste Betty Chappie Joan Claise Regina Collignon J.

New clubs have been organized, old ones rejuvenat- ed, and all have progressed. The FBLA was formed this year, for the first time in the history of Tell City High. The Quill and Scroll Chapter gained many new members from the staff of the MARKSMAN. The two plays presented this year qualified many of the students to belong to the Thespians. The Music Club was founded to increase the student’s appreciation of music, the Double Quartet helped them as much as possible, even though it was an entirely different organization. The Booster Club was born and backed the athletic teams to new heights of glory. And last, but not least, the senior class decided to renew the old tradition of an annual. Because of these many organizations, our stay at TCHS has been much more pleasant than it would have been without them. To all of the teachers who sponsored these extra-curricular activities, we say thank you. And we sincerely appreciate the cooperation of the rest of the faculty. SAGITTARIUS, 1948 AN NUAL STAF F Left to Right: Pat Shaver, Bob Hartz, Anne Bledsoe, Eloise Weil, Dolores Mills, Bernice Briggeman, Fred Brenner, Osmon Knepper. Many days and nights have been spent in publishing this 1943 Sagittarius; and now as the time has come to present our volume to the faculty and student body, it seems that time has erased those hours of worry and apprehension connected with such a daring enterprise for the inexperienced. The 1948 Sagittarius is the first yearbook to be published by the Senior class since 1924. The names of many people who gave their time and experience do not appear in these pages, yet without their assistance this book could not have been completed. Your Sagittarius staff is composed of Seniors who had a vision of a historical record in the written and pictorial language that would for- ever remind the members of the happiest days of their lives. We have tried to give you a Sagittarius that would remind you now and in later years, when you pick it up, of life here at TCHS during the past four years. We are proud of this yearbook and present it to you with the re- quest that you care for it as a priceless possession—a memorial to the Senior Class of 1948. d SAGITTARIUS, 1948 MARKSMAN STAFF This year’s journalism classes have succeeded in building the school paper, THE MARKSMAN, into a six page paper which comes out every three weeks. Formerly it was a four page paper which was published every month. The first semester class, under the leadership of Mr. D. J. Fosdick, was responsible for the increase in the size of the publication. The staff for that semester was led by Pat Shaver, who was ably assisted in his editorial duties by Anne Bledsoe and Ralph Byrd, the assistant editors. Osmon Knepper was the sports editor, while Ralph Kessans took care of the business of the staff. Other editors were Eloise Weil, exchange editor, Ray Rowe, proof editor, Rita Harpenau, circulation editor, and Bernice Briggeman and Clarence Davis, advertising managers. The reporters for this semester were Mary Evelyn Smith, Joyce Shaw, Deloris Schaad, Dolores Mills, Polly Sturgeon and Carol Ann Kellems. The second semester class, led by Miss Ahlf, initiated the practice of circulating an edition every three weeks. Pat Shaver again headed the staff, assisted by Anne Bledsoe, the assistant editor. Fred Brenner was selected managing editor, while Marion Ress and Bob Hartz edited the sports section. Eloise Weil was in charge of circulation, and the advertis- ing was handled by Bernice Briggeman and Ray Rowe. Jeanette Hagedorn was exchange editor, and Earl Eger and Norman Van Winkle were the business managers. The proof was edited by Estel Fay. Two of the most outstanding reporters were Theresa Schank and Criss Gruver. SAGITTARIUS, 1948 SENIOR PLAY The night of May 6 will go down in annals as the night the class of ’48 presented their class play, “Which Shall He Marry.” A modern living room in the Randolph home was found to be the setting of Omerea Denison’s three-act romantic comedy. The plot revolved around a decision to be made by Dick Evans, our own Ray Rowe, as to which of the five Randolph girls he should marry. There were two million dollars waiting for him if he chose the right one according to his grandfather’s will. If he chose the wrong one he received nothing. The oldest of the five sisters and the brains of the family, was played by Louise Henze. The beauty of the family, Elaine, was played by Eloise Weil. To make things more compli- cated yet, there was a kind hearted sister, Patience, played by Anne Montgomery and an athletic one, Frankie, played by Jerry Kleaving. The youngest member of the family, Mary Jane, was played by Cherie Wolf. She was to be the ‘one’. All ends well when Mary Jane gets Dick fed up with all the other girls by forcing them on him, so he marries her, and gets the two million dollars. Bits of humor were added by the unforgettable colored maid, Mag- nolia, played by Louise Arnold and the fluttery Mrs. Randolph, played by Mary Peter. 1 SAGITTARIUS, 1948 A PAIR OF COUNTRY KIDS Front Row: Dot Schaefer, Bernice Briggeman, Larry Gunter, Jeanette Hagedorn, Rita Harpenau, Bob Hartz. Back Row: Ray Rowe, Pat Shaver, Clarence Davis, Fred Brenner, Faustine Cook, Director. The night of October 29th found the high school auditorium filled with laughing people. It was the night of the dramatics class presenta- tion, “A Pair Of Country Kids, a comedy in three acts. Bernice Briggeman and Pat Shaver were cast in the title roles as “Sis” Spooner and “Hi” Hawkins. The play revolved around their love life, and the schemes of a city slicker, Mr. Roomer, played by Clarence Davis, who was trying to steal the hearts and money of two old maids, Lucindy Appleby and Susan Grimes, portrayed by Joyce Shaw and Doro- thy Schaefer. However, “Sis” and “Hi soon proved that ignorance can accomplish things. By the time the third act was over, they had become engaged, foiled tho plans of Mr. Roomer, sold the homestead to Mr. Roberts, a businessman who believed there was oil on the land, characterized by Larry Gunter, married the two sweethearts, Phil West and April Starr, played by Fred Brenner and Jeanette Hagedorn, and saved their employer, Mrs. Starr, who was portrayed by Naomi Richards, from the poor-house. SAGITTARIUS, 1948 MUSIC CLUB Left to Right are Carolyn Boger, Larry Gunter, Pat Thomas. Second row: Freddie Brenner, Bob Scheiber, Stuart Mount, Clarence Davis.

The Music Club is a newly organized group of talented musicians in J CHS. The club was organized this year in order to promote a better understanding of music. During the year the club gave one recital and sponsored two programs. The club’s officers for this year were Larry Gunter, President; Carolyn Boger, Vice-President; Rosemarie Quinkert, Secretary; and Freddie Brenner, Treasurer. Jim Robertson was elected as Chairman of the Program Committee. i SAGITTARIUS, 1948 DOUBLE QUARTET Front Row (left to right): Hugh Thrasher, director; Clarence Davis, Jr., bari- tone; Ray Rowe, first tenor and Osmon Knepper, bass. Back Row (left to right): James Robertson, second tenor; Robert Vaughn, first tenor; Gary Starkey, second tenor. Paul Jones, bass, was absent at the time the picture was taken. The double quartet, under the direction of Hugh Thrasher, made their debut in TCHS as a music making, music loving, music encouraging organization early in the second semester of the school year. The group was organized by eight boys who were willing to, and did, put their musical knowledge and voices together for the purpose of furthering their knowledge and passing on to others the joy and satis- faction in the realm of music. The organization met together in the auditorium for practice every Wednesday during the fourth period. ’T IK SAGITTARIUS, 1948 STUDENT COUNCIL First row, seated: Caroline Boger, Paul Simpson, President, Clarence Gaesser, Bob Vaughn. Second row, standing: Kay Wetzel, Tony Fisher, Fred Brenner, Carol Maurer. Third row, standing: Pat Jarboe, Charles Geene, Ralph Byrd, Gus Claise, Osmon Knepper, Gene Peter. Here is a group which has done a fine job during the current school year. They have sponsored many school dances after the basketball games and have done much toward solving many of the school’s student- teacher problems. Two Freshmen, three Sophomores, four Juniors, and five Seniors are selected each year by their respective classes at class meetings. Good work, councilmen. We sincerely hope that your successors will keep up the fine work which you have begun. SAGITTARIUS, 1948 THE BOOSTER CLUB The Booster Club was organized for the first time in TCHS this year by the yell-leaders. Any student was eligible as long as they faithfully attended all the games and practiced good sportsmanship. The club had a very large membership. These students met once a week whenever possible. There they in- troduced new yells, decorated the gym and worked on pep-sessions. Dances and other profit-making entertainments were held in order to raise money to take buses to out-of-town games. On the above picture, the Booster Club members are going through the calisthenics with the “HEY-RAH” yell, their favorite. 1 SAGITTARIUS, 1948 F B L A Seated first row: Secretary Mary Peter, Vice-President Pat Shaver, President Freddie Brenner, and Treasurer Cherie Wolf.

This club is one of the many new organizations that have been de- veloped in Tell City High during the current school year. We are proud to say that this organization is the one-hundred and twenty - second that has been organized in the entire country. They have their charter and are now considered one of the national clubs. Their regular meetings are held bi-monthly. The purpose of the organization is to develop leadership qualities in each of the individual members. To do this many programs and dis- cussions are held in which all the members can, and do, participate. By doing so, their abilities and traits as business leaders are further develop- ed. This school is indeed proud of the fine work which has been done by this club and hopes that it will keep up the fine work in future years.

Rita Harpenau, and Louise Arnold were absent when the pic- ture was taken. This group of senior girls are Mr. Lee’s able assistants. Each period of the day you will find one or two of these girls in his office signing excuses, typing reports, fixing report cards and doing miscellaneous chores. Besides being a pleasant task it gave them valuable experience in office practice. Be assured that each and every one appreciated the opportunity.

The theme of the club is, “To build today for tomorrow.” Their colors are red and white and their flower is a red rose. I I I I I I I I I SAGITTARIUS, 1948 TELL CITY HIGH SCHOOL BAND Directed by Paul W. Silke, the Tell City High School Band achieved a first division rating in concert playing and march- ing in both the District and State contests, which were held in Huntingburg and Greencastle this spring. The band performed at all the home football and basket- ball games, the Dramatics and Senior plays, and presented two concerts, Christmas and Spring. Most of the band members attended the Evansville All- City Concert, and a select group attended the Jasper High School Band’s Christmas Concert. The band participated in a Music Festival last fall which was held at Jasper, Indiana in December. A parade was held in the afternoon and a concert was given in the evening by the Select and Mass Bands. Seventeen of the seventy-five members which make up the band are seniors. Several of these seniors have spent six years in the band. We are sure that the band deserves every honor it has won and will continue to win in the future years. SAGITTARIUS, 1948 BAND STUDENT COUNCIL Left to Right: Gary Starkey, Freshman Representative; Polly Sturgeon, Trea- surer; Mary Peter, Senior Representative; Anne Bledsoe, Captain; Emma Jean Craig, Sophomore Representative; Patty Peter, Junior Representative. This group of people was elected by the band to help Mr. Paul Silke, Band Director, decide some of the band’s problems. OUR DRUM MAJOR AND MAJORETTES Drum Major, Osmon Knepper; Majorettes, Sharon Keiser, Georgia Lee Schriefer and Laverne Gramelspacher; Flag Twirlers, Ann Montgomery and Polly Sturgeon. These are the students who led the Tell City Marching Band for the past two years, during which time the band has won two first divisions in district contests and two first divisions in state contests. Four of the girls, Ann, Sharon, Laverne, and Polly are seniors. Georgia Lee is a junior. These students have done a fine job and the school is proud of them. SAGITTARIUS, 1948 STUDENT COUNCIL DANCE Several dances were sponsored by the student council as one of the steps in a program to improve our school. Most of these were held in the library, the first time it has ever been used for such a purpose. These pictures show scenes from a typical dance after a basketball game. From the expressions on the students’ faces, you may guess that we either won the game or were enjoying themselves immensely. As a matter of fact, both are true. They were taken on the night of the Marksmen victory over the Rockport Zebras. SAGITTARIUS, 1948 FOOTBALL QUEEN Front Row: Barbara Howland, Queen Eloise Well, Lavern Gramelspicher. Back Row: Jeanette Itasedorn, Marjorie Hoi nan. Share n Reiser. On the night of September 19th at the Richland—Tell City football game the annual cornation of the 1948 Football Quean was held. Queen Eloise Weil and her attendants Maydell Mills, Laverne Gramelspacher, Sharon Kieser, Jeanette Hagedorn, Barbara Howland, and Marjorie Hol- man marched on the field to the strains of the Coronation March, played by the TCHS band. Before a large number of spectators Bob Litherland, captain of the football team, crowned the queen and sealed it with a kiss (the lucky guy). The queen reigned all year and probably inspired the other teams which played for the Cream and Crimson just as much, if not more, than she did the football team. SAGITTARIUS, 1948 GIRLS' ATHLETIC ASSOCIATION First row: Betty Chappie, Verlee Zoll, Pres., Sharon Kieser. Second row: Squad-Leaders, Nancy Ford, Beula Malone, Joan Bockhold, Edna Parr, Cherie Wolf, and Betty Hudson. Third row: Catherine Hamilton, Director, Bertha Brown, Donora Arnold, Arlene Gruver, Maxine Meuller, Elsie Tanner. Fourth row: Mary Mitchell, Effie Swartz, Iris Reed, Mary K. Wetzel, Eula Malone. The Girls’ Athletic Association of Tell City High School was organized to promote physical efficiency among the girls of high school by fostering an interest in athletic activities. These girls, sometimes better known as the “ice-cream” girls, kept the ever-thirsty football and basketball fans happy by taking care of the concession stands at all the games. Awards were given as achievement of their work accomplished this year. All the girls will receive pins. Emblems will be given to the fol- lowing girls: Donora Arnold, Sharon Kieser, Edna Parr, Effie Swartz, Cherie Wolf, and Verlee Zoll. Sweaters will be received by Sharon Kieser, Effie Swartz, and Cherie Wolf. Only a senior may receive a sweater. SAGITTARIUS, 1948 SNAPSHOTS SAGITTARIUS, 1948 The athletic department of TCHS has not lagged behind in the general growth which has characterized our high school days. For three straight years, the Marksmen gridders have been in the running for the PAC crown. Though we have never won it our football seasons have been, as a whole, successful ones and we are proud of them. During these three years the Cream and Crimson clad boys have never lost more than two games in a season’s play. The size of the team has also increased; no longer is six-man football played; a new variation was introduced by the PAC which allows eight men to play this great game. Our basketball teams have always been among the best in Southern Ind- iana, as has our baseball teams. A well rounded sports program has help- ed us to enjoy our stay here to the fullest extent. Our sports have grown with us and have brought fame to our school. We’re proud of the teams which have fought for the glory of Tell City High. SAGITTARIUS, 1948 FOOTBALL TEAM The Tell City Marksmen, under the coaching of Ivan Hollen, enjoyed a very successful football season this year. The Marksmen won a total of 7 out of 9 games. Coach Hollen had the same personnel as last year with the exception of Brooks Dooley and Winston Bledsoe. The chances of Tell City winning a Pocket Athletic Conference championship suffered a severe setback when the cream and crimson clad boys lost their first game of the season to the Dale Aces. But the gridders came right back and were in the running for this honor up until the last. A PAC championship is Mr. Hollen’s dream, and he has a good chance to see it fulfilled next year. Only one first stringer will be lost to the squad, Eddie Marchand, the high-scoring fullback who made all-conference, and set a new record for scoring in doing so. Here’s hoping that a football trophy will find its way into the trophy case to keep all of the basketball, band, and baseball trophies company. SAGITTARIUS, 1948 BASKETBALL TEAM The Tell City Marksmen under the able coaching of Ivan Hollen had a fine year in the 1947-48 basketball season. The record shows 11 wins and 7 losses. The team was made up of three seniors, Dale Scott, Bob Hartz and Eddie Marchand: four juniors, Marion Ress, Pat Jarboe, Warren Roeling and Jim Beard; three sophomores, Bill Feix, Charles Northemor, and Charles Geene. Every boy on the squad saw action this year at one time or another but five of them saw a little more. These were Marion Ress, Dale Scott, Bill Feix, Warren Roeling, and Bob Hartz. The Marksmen reached the finals in the sectional but were nosed out by their old rivals, Cannelton, 37-35. This was quite a frustration after having beaten the Bulldogs twice by overwhelming scores. SAGITTARIUS, 1948 RESERVE TEAM The future varsity basketball players of Tell City High School, or the members of the basketball reserves, played 16 scheduled games this year. Out of these games they won 12 and lost 4 for a very good record for the 1947-1948 season. The “seconds” as they are called are made up of sophomores and juniors with a few freshmen thrown in. Coach Hollen spent a lot of his time to make a well-rounded winning basketball team out of these boys and it looks as if he did a fine job. The seconds are the team of the future for Tell City and we wish them well in the world of sports. f SAGITTARIUS, 1948 FRESHMEN Front Row: Eddie Seibert, Burke Scott, Dick Bledsoe, Jackie Evrard, James Miller. Back Row: Bud Mills, Calvin Harti, Allan Lechner, Albert Batie, Jim Jordan, Bob Elder. Gene Peter. The freshmen played sixteen scheduled games this season and won twelve of them. Such a record gives a true indication of the team we may expect to play for the glory of TCHS four years from now. The freshmen were coached by Norman Kramer, a former three letter man at Tell City High. It was largely through his efforts that such a large schedule was arranged and so large a percentage of the games won. The entire student body followed the freshies closely. They even chose two freshmen girls as cheerleaders for this team. These two girl? are pictured elsewhere in this book. Well done, freshmen! Keep up the good work, and we’ll see you in Indianapolis four years from now. SAGITTARIUS, 1948 BASEBALL The baseball team of 1948 had a very well balanced offense this year, as well as a sterling defense. The season is not over as this annual is being printed, but the team has already proved to all of the other schools in Southern Indiana that they are a force to be reckoned with. Several lettermen made up the nucleus of the squad. The rest were filled with younger boys. The boys who made the squad included Bob Hartz, 3b; Fred Brenner, P; Paul Simpson, lb; Eddie Marchand, SS; Edward Marchand, C; Marion Phillips, RF; Marion Ress, P; Pat Jarboe, 2b; Charles Geene, LF; Walter Baur, CF; Carl Seibert, OF; Norman Van Winkle, lb: Ralph Marchand, C; Burke Scott, P; Allan Lechner, OF; Ray Gramelspacher, OF; Martin Schneider, C; Bob Elder, OF; Eddie Seibert, 2b; Jackie Evrard, SS. Most of these are underclassmen and will return next year to again bring glory to the fields of TCHS. SAGITTARIUS, 1948 YELL-LEADERS Definitely responsible for one of the finest cheering sections were Jeanette Hagedorn, Stuart Mount, Bernice “Googie” Briggeman, and James “Jim” Johnson. Truly it was the never-failing Marksmen spirit that brought the ringing cheers and the thunderous yells which led the .Marksmen on to greater victories. It was the first year of yelling for all of them, Jim and Stuart being sophomores, and Jeanette and “Googie,” seniors. To them we leave a sincere thank-you for the part they played in making our senior year a more “boisterous” year. FRESHMEN Having admitted being responsible for the freshmen cheering section are Delores Pavey, Gary Starkey, and Sue Spencer. These yell-leaders also led yells for the second team games. We’re sure they will accept our most sincere thank-you for beginning to make our dreams of future visits to TCHS already exciting. They’re capable of doing it. Lead on, Gang!
