School booed The Tell City School Board, representing the people of the community, consists of three competent members. (From left to right) John Gordon, Clarence Davis, and Frank Clemens. It functions as a policy-making body having complete jurisdiction over the schools and their employees. It is through the superintendent that their executive policies and administrative details are made effective in the operation of the school system. These men have given much time and effort to many school problems in order that we may enjoy the privilege of attending one of the ten best schools in southern Indiana. We wish to show our gratefulness to these men at this time by saying, Thank you for the many things you have done for us.” Mrs. Jean Wetzel, secretary to Mr. Fechtman, with her pleasant disposition and her efficiency, is definitely an asset to our T. C. H. S. Her willingness to assist in solving both student and teacher problems makes her an admirable person, well liked by all. We, the seniors of 1950, wish to express our appreciation to her for all aid and courtesies extended us through- out our years in high school.

Mr. Fcchtman was born in Indianapolis in 1910. He spent his grade school days in Indianapolis. He participated in the sports of basketball, baseball, and tennis. Upon graduating from high school he enrolled in Indiana University. There he received his B. S. Degree in 1937 and his M. S. Degree in 1944. The next eight years he taught and coached at Dunker, Corydon, and Greencastle, Indiana. He was principal for two years in Park County and Superintendent in Williams- port from 1947 to 1949. In 1949 he came to Tell City to be Superintendent of Schools. He thinks that the school in general is very co-operative not only in sports but in everything. He also thinks we have wonderful school spirit here in our little town. Administration and Faculty This year, Mr. Lee will complete his 11th year as principal. However, he has been at Tell City High School for 29 years. 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. Besides student discipline, Mr. Lee selects appropriate programs to be given at convocation, which would be educational as well as entertaining. Altogether, he keeps the school running smoothly and efficiently.
