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
