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

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.
