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

Text from Pages 1 - 96 of the 1949 volume:

SAGITTARIUS, 2W Old . SAGITTARIUS, 2 1 iProud Of ou “Dear Old School” is a phrase that we have often repeated without giving much thought to it. Now that the school days of the 1949 seniors are limited, we realize that we have enjoyed the comradeship, the “troubles”, the pranks, the punishments, the good times, and a'll of the little things here at T.C.H.S., although at the time some of the incidents occurred may not have seemed very enjoyable. Realizing that these things are a part of our youth, a part we can never again experience in reality, we are striving to imbibe the spirit of these days—the faces and the fun—into this yearbook, so we may carry them into the future with us to cheer, encourage, and inspire. This Sagittarius reflects the spirit of our high school as we knew it. This spirit was always present at the football and basketball games, the band contests, in the classrooms and in all of the school activities. We have felt this spirit from the day we first registered as green, scared freshmen until the day we marched proudly down the aisle with our diplomas, knowing that the precious days were over. May this spirit live on in our Alma Mater and continue to grow so that we can always say, “Dear Old School, We’re mighty Proud Of You!” —The Sagittarius Staff SAGITTARIUS, 3 We dedicate this Sagittarius to the memory of the men and women, alumni of Tell City High School, who gave their lives during World War EL It is our hope that we will be as faithful as they were to the ideals and principles of our country, and that we may serve her as well in peace as they did in war. i SAGITTARIUS, 4 nlDMIMISTRBTiOM SAGITTARIUS, 5 pR€ty)LW CliOO 'oar The School Board, consisting of three men of high ability in whom the public has complete confidence, is one of the governing bodies of the Tell City Public Schools. Before any final action is taken for the better- ment of our high school, it must be approved by the School Board. With the combined efforts of the School Board, Mr. Dixon, and Mr. Lee, the school is continuing its climb to meet higher educational standards. Some of the important duties include the selection and dismissal of the faculty, maintenance of the buildings, and making provisions for financial support and expenditures. Mr. Dixon has been teaching school here in Tell City for twenty-six ears. He was coach for two years, then served as principal for six years. At the end of this term, Mr. Dixon will serve his tenth year as Superinten- dent. He is now Secretary of the Pocket Superintendents Association. Since Superintendent Dixon has been here, many improvements have been made. Parts of the high school building have been remodeled, and new equipment has been acquired. From the year 1936 our school has been a member of the North Central Association which requires very high standards. The high school, under his authority, is continually moving forward; we all acknowledge his competence as a leader and executive. We owe him unbounded praise and gratitude for helping to make our school one to be sincerely proud of in every way. Jean Wetzel, Mr. Dixon’s Secretary, is our school’s “Information Please. If we can't find something we need, or if we want information we usually ask Jean. She always has a smile and an answer. She does an excellent job in whatever work she participates. She keeps the financial records of our school in excellent condition. Jean de- serves more credit than is given her. so as this term draws to its close, we wish to say,—“Thanks, Jean!” SAGITTARIUS, 6 ABOVE: School Board Members, left to right, John A.

SAGITTARIUS. 8 OUR PRINCIPAL Mr. Lee has been around for a long time — twenty eight years to be exact. This year he will complete his tenth year as principal. Before be- coming principal Mr. Lee was commercial teacher. However, he has taught every subject except science and language. Mr. Lee received his A. B. degree at Central Normal College at Danville, Indiana, he then completed a year of graduate work at Indiana University and earned his Masters Degree. Student discipline is Mi-. Lee’s biggest job, as he sees to it that the school’s rules are obeyed. He arranges interesting and educational convoca- tions such as lectures, the one man show of “Mac- beth”, the demonstration on ceramics, and movies. Our principal keeps the school running smoothly and efficiently. utvO Q acwffy To our teachers we want to express our appreciation for their patience and guidance during our four years in high school. They have prepared us to approach the open door of opportunity that lies ahead of us, and to go through that door to learn the greal er truths of life itself. All things must have a beginning and an ending. In the beginning, our faculty has given us a sound education, confidence in ourselves, and a knowledge of right and wrong. We realize that from now on, our decisions and the use of our knowledge will determine the outcome of opportunities that will come our way. The faculty has done their part and now it is up to each of us; we can forget what we have learned and fail in our future lives, or we can climb higher to successes of unclaimed heights.

SAGITTARIUS, 25 Four short years ago in September of 1945, 10 8 green freshmen walked into Tell City High School to claim it for a mother of education for the next f our years. The first thing that faced us was select- ing our subjects for the coming school year. Some of us had, in our minds, already decided what career we wanted to follow, so we chose the subjects that would help us in this field of work. We entered this school so we could learn to become better citizens and not parasites on the people of the world, as we were to be the citizens of tomorrow. Our freshmen days brought many ups and downs. We made many mistakes, but we tried very hard to correct them. At our first class meeting we elected our class officers and sponsors. We chose for president, Jim Bruggenschmidt; vice-president, Linwell Butler; and secretary and treasurer, Kenneth Rohl. Miss Wilson and Mr. Osborne wer e our sponsors. To everyone’s sorrow our freshman picnic was rained out. This was the first step in our long journey wh ich lay ahead of us. Those of us which were de- termined to reach the top had now got a foothold on what was to come in later years. The year had not been all too pleasant as we suffered torture bot h in mind and in body from the hands of our upper classmen. After our freshman year was over and every one had a very pleasant summer we were ready to start our second year of school with added problems and greater tasks to face and conquer. We started on our sophomore year with 98 students, 10 less than we had in our freshman year. We found out we could reach our goal by hard work, so we set out again to accomplish it. Our foothold was a lot stronger and our minds a lot clearer. Our tasks were longer and our responsibilities were greater for we now realized what a great part education plays in the world. To make our sailing more smooth we elected Robert Litherland as president and Maurice Goble as vice-president; Joe Eddy Leisner was elected as secretary and treasurer. Mrs. Werner and Mr. Hollen were elected to guide us through our second year of school. We had more privileges during our second year of school at dear old T.C.H.S., but were still looking forward to the time when we would be upper classmen. At the end of this school year we acquired more knowledge and experience in the ever- changing world in which we live. Remember th at time waits for no one, so we must all keep up with the times. The summer passed very quickly and school time was here once more. We entered this school year with much more interest than ever before, because we were upper classmen. With this honor went more responsibilities and hard work. We entered this year with only 80 students, 18 less than we had the previous year. The work that faced us was harder and a lot more of it. More of us had decided whether we were going to college or not. This meant that the ones who were would have to take subjects that would help them most. At the beginning of our junior year we elected Robert Litherland president, Joe Eddy Leisner, vice-president, and Carl Seibert, secretary and treasurer. Our sponsors were Miss Hamilton and Mr. Sprink le. During this year Miss Hamilton resigned and Miss Ahlf took her place. The thing that thrilled us most was the order ing of our class rings, which was of a new type and our class sweaters. The boys voted for the class j ackets and the girls voted for sweaters. This was the first time in a good many years that class j ackets were to be seen around T.C.H.S. In the course of this year we gave a Sadie Hawkins Dance and a music contest to raise money for our class expenses. These events were successful and enjoyed by all. The next important event we had coming was the Junior Senior Prom. This was made a gala affair and the good times will long be remembered by all. This entertainment was given in the high school auditorium where a delicious lunch was served before the dance. Our Junior year was draw- ing to a close and the last thing we did was to have our class picnic. For this we all journeyed to Lincoln State Park and had a most enjoyable time — Boating, hiking and picnicking. We, as Seniors, are now at the head of our fleet, because those ahead of us have already taken their places in this big world. This being our last and final year, our number has decreased to 75 hard working seniors. After sailing successful! v for three years, once more we docked our ship (Continued On Page 32) SAGITTARIUS, 26 SAGITTARIUS, 27 president Charto� Gerne, vice president Bill Feix, Krrrrlirjr-trraxurrr Betty ll.irprnau Opal .Mae Fall� Betty Shadwick Emma Jean Dixon Jessie Hchroeder Margie lluthsteiner Wanda Darden Carrie Terry Joan Borkhold Kay Schauberger Barbara Howland Jim llearle Joan Clal� e Jim Boh Mr.Mahon Regina Mill� John llilgenhold Ruth Kellems Rodriek William� Mary Wilgus Carroll Maurr Janice Blrrhler Jim Ilagedorn Marilou Parker Don Alvey l.aurrtta Beumel Raymond llarpenau Ftta Jean Kelscr Jim Mitrhell Margie Miller Ronnie LaMar Jane Ludwig Sharon lleitkrmper Wilma Hauser Ray Gramelspacher Mary Sutcliffe Gary Richard� Jimmy Johnnon Lolg Harri� Sidney Lutgrlng Roscmari Quinkert Eugene Ilighfill Catherine Moore Morrow Fran� Mary Ann Richardson John Goffinet Betty Blandfnrd Ralph Hanloh Dorothy Kessner Keith Wheatley Ruth Sandage Christie Gengelbach Delore� Toothman Fddie Pannett Beula Malone Marvfn Howell Mary Mitchell Joe Gentry EKIe Tanner Alfred Schroeder Emma Jean Montgomer Ralph Eger Eula Malone Ronald Haskins Marlene nuff Tom Sander� Joanna Little David Eger Edna May Parr Leo Gengelbach Imogene Lottes Jim Robertson Verlee Toll Floyd Schroeder Juanita Weiss Cecil Mallory Arlene Graver Betty Chappie Mareene Price Marietta Klueh Mary Lillian Reynold� Tony FIxrher y Hetty Stinnett, president Charles llarpenau. rice president Caroline Boner, secretary )op(}Omore$0 Burke Scott IJoyd Sabelhaus S C.

We chose blue and white for our class colors. “Find a Way or Make One as our class motto, and the red rose as our class flower. Our class is the first of T.C.H.S. to have white caps and gowns with blue tassels. Land is coming into sight as our journey is almost complete.

The Tell City Bands have never lost a District Contest since Mr. Paul Silke has taken over, and this band hadn’t any intention of doing otherwise.

Miss Ahlf was advisor for the year. During the year 1948-1949, the F.B.L.A. sponsored two commercial movies and had as guest speaker at a meeting, Mr. Charles Werner, who spoke on retail selling. The F.B.L.A. also worked to further students’ interest in business establishments of Tell City and to award those students of out- standing ability in the business field. Officers for the year were Pat Thomas, president; Lucille Evrard, vice-president; Pat Peter, secretary; and Helen Peter, treasurer. Mr. Edwin Cassidy was the sponsor of the group. These girls are chosen, because of outstanding ability, to assist Miss Royal in the Home Economics Department. Each girl is in charge of a group of girls whom she supervises in the various activities. The manager demonstrates techniques and helps the students with problems. They have done an ex- cellent job. SAGITTARIUS, 47 LIBRARIANS The librarians’ job was to keep the books in order and to check the books coming in and going out. As usual, the librarians did a line job of keeping things in order.

PROJECTION CREW These two boys, John Gof- fi net and James Johnson, were responsible for operat- ing the motion picture pro- jector. Whenever we had a movie they were there tak- ing care of the machine. STUDENT COUNCIL This group of students is elected by the various classes to help solve some of the many problems around school.

SAGITTARIUS, 49 This enthusiastic group of students worked this year to provide a strong cheering section for the basketball and football teams. Pep Club pins were sold to members as identification to sit in a reserved section at games. The Club held pep sessions before every game to encourage louder and peppier yells from the student body and urge the team on to Victory. Victory sessions were held when we wanted to show how glad we were to win. and defeat or “sob” sessions proved we were proud of our team even though they lost a game occasionally. They also printed a booklet of the school yells and songs. The club was aided by the Tell City Booster Club, a group of adults organized to boost the school and its activities. They encouraged adult attendance at games, both at home and away; made awards in the three major sports, band and general citizenship; helped police crowds at football games; and, in many ways, helped boost the school spirit. Tony Fischer was elected president of the Pep Club and Sharron Heitkemper, vice-president. Rev. Ralph Knopper is president of the Booster Club. The cheerleaders and these roups brought a great improvement in sportsmanship on the part of the spectators. The motto for the season was “We’ll Take Them As They Come.” Cheerleaders for the 1948-49 season were three Junio s and a Senior. The Freshman yell leaders yelled at the sec- tional Tourney with the varsity leaders. This was the first year of yell leading in h gh school for all of them. They re- vived some old yells and originated a few new ones. The new yelling outfits made quite a showing at the Sectional. Eula and Beula Malone, Linwell Butler, and Gary Starkey are the varsity yell team. Freshman leaders arc Miry Frances Frieler, Earl Malone, and Joyce Kramer. These students are responsible for one of the finest cheering sections in T. C. H. S. history. SAGITTARIUS, 51 Another great Tell City football team completed a highly successful season in football for the 11)48 year. Lead by Coach Ivan Hollen, and Assistant Coach Jack Jines, the Marksmen won 7 games, lost 2, and tied 1. This tie came at the end of the season with Cannelton Bulldogs. The team was composed of 12 seniors who were greatly responsible for Tell City’s successful record. The seniors were as follows: Carl Seibert, Jim Beard, Francis (Spud) Kleeman, Bob Schneider, Tom Schaefer, Raloh Paulin. Preston Richards, August Claise, Bob Litherland. Jim (Tiger) Bruggenschmidt, “Juny” Gaesser, and Dale Scott. Recognition should also be shown to such outstanding players as Jack Evrard Don Alvey Torn- Fischer. Eugene Smith. Eddie Seibert. Rob Freeman Tom Pannett and Richard Bledsoe. The Marksmen also boasted a fine Freshman squad, who won the majority of their games. With the proper encouragement and training, these boys will write chapters in Tell City’s football history. .. Coach Hollen is still working for a team that will bring the first P.A.C. Championship to Tell Citv. loll City has not captured a Conference title since it began in 1988. We sincerely hope that Mr Hollen will reach his goal in 1949.

From the smallest hamlet to the largest cities, thousands of boys play the game of basketball each year. In this game are thrills, excitement, joy, and yes—even heartaches. Could there be any wonder, then, why basketball doors have the largest paid admission in the United States and Canada of any game in our great field of sports? The basketball team, of T.C.H.S. of ’48-’49 has been considered by many as one of the finest teams in its history. Some of the best teams of Southern Indiana were included on the Marksmen schedule for this season. A most decisive victory in the Holiday Tourney at Evansville, which included Central, Reitz, Tell City, and Princeton was one of the many accomplishments of this year’s Marksmen. One of the finest coaches in the State of Indiana, Coach Ivan Hollen, guided these boys to nineteen victories in a twenty game schedule, during the regular season: Dale Scott, Pat Jarboe, Donal Lee Kus- ter, and Marion Ress, seniors. Bill Feix, Charles Geene, Charles Northernor, and Donald Alvey, Juniors, Burke Scott and Allen Lechner, Sophomores, made up the varsity squad. Although Tell ( ity was defeated by a hard fighting Dale team in the Sectional, their season record will stand for many years. SAGITTARIUS, 54 FRESHMAN BASKETBALL TEAM.

The twenty-three boys who answered the call for this sport will have many chances to make the team because of the nine different events. There will be no meets at home this year because of the lack of facilities. The first meet of the sea- son was at Petersburg on April 6. Tell City was third in.this meet, Petersburg being first and Princeton second. Boys on the team are shown in the picture at left.
