Sophomore Class We, the Sophomore Class, ably guided by our duly elected sponsors, Mr. Sprinkle and Mr. Hollen, spent our year of transition from the green years into full-fledged high school students, rather actively. To start the year off, our one hundred and five members held the annual class elections. Ronnie Birchler, popular reserve basketball player, was elected to head the class for the ensuing year. Bob Freeman, football star, was made his assistant. Mary Lou Hoffman was elected to do the correspondence and money-changin’ for the class. Charles Schrieber and Sue Hubbs were chosen to represent our class in the Student Council. About the same time we ordered our red-and-white class sweaters and jackets. They finally arrived, after much waiting and anticipation, in the first week in November. After the big Tell City--Cannclton football game on October 28, our class spon- sored a dance at the Knights of Columbus home. We want to thank the K. of C. again for the use of their hall. Later in the spring, the class sponsored the traditional Faculty vs. Seniors basketball game. And as the final activity of the year, we all went on a big picnic. 29

junior Class On September 2, 1949, you could roam through the halls and see the happy faces of eighty-one jolly Juniors registering for the third time as students of Tell City High School. Their first meeting was called to elect their officers and sponsors. They elected Gene Peter, President; Robert Peter, Vice-president; Anthony Sabclhaus, Secretary-treasurer. Robert Elder, Jack Evrard, and Clarence Fox were elected to represent their class on the Student Council. Miss Ahlf and Mr. Jines were chosen for the class sponsors. Upon having ordered their class sweaters in their Sophomore year, they ordered only their class rings during the second week of school and received them November 22. In order to raise money, the Junior class sponsored a carnival on November 4. Among the many features of this carnival were the spook house, dancing girls, doll house, faculty graveyard, bake sale, and concession stands. Charles Northerner and Margaret Miles had the honor of being crowned carnival king and queen of the affair. They also sponsored a Junior Amateur Hour on the fourteenth of April. Both the Amateur Hour and the carnival were successful. On May 20, 1950, the traditional Junior and Senior Prom was given at the Coun- try Club in honor of the graduating class of 1950. This proved to be very successful and was enjoyed by everyone.

Freshmen Class On September 16, 1949, the opening day of school at the Tell City High School eighty-eight students found themselves enrolled as freshmen, subject to the mercy of all upperclassmen. For several days they struggled, as all freshmen do, trying to find their way to the various class rooms. During the second week they were honored by having a freshmen meeting called by the principal, Mr. Lee. At this time they were privileged to elect their freshmen sponsors and officers. For sponsors they chose Miss Adah Royal and Mr. Paul Silkie. For their officers they chose Jack Thomas, President; Wanda Connor, Vice-president; Lois Eger, Secretary-treasurer; and James Ludwig to serve on the Student Council. Throughout this year they have been humble students giving way to their upper- classmen. They have had many difficulties and not too many activities. However, the school year ended with a class picnic where everyone had a very enjoyable time and forgot all trivial problems of the year. 30
