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

 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

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
