They entered into the activities of the school with such unusual zest that their efforts have been crowned with a degree of success, rarely attained by anv class. We were proud to be rated as upper classmen and did much to assist the new “freshies” just entering T.C.H.S. We organized our group bv electing Gene Peter as our president, Hob Peter our vice-president, and Anthony Sablehause the secretary-treasurer and Mr. Jack Jines and .Miss Nancy Ahlf as sponsors. We immediately laid plans for the Junior Amateur Hour and Junior Carnival which are annual affairs for this class, proceeds going to our class fund. Much hard work with the many school activities brought the school year rapidly to an end. The long waited for, the Junior-Senior Prom, had arrived. It was held at the Hoosier Heights Country Club with Jack Racine and his band furnishing the music. An old precedent w as broken by allow ing special guests who were not high school stu- dents to attend. The plan worked well, more coming and staying longer. For the third time we held the annual picnic at the Lincoln State Park. By this time we were quite familiar with this park, but each time having plenty of fun. On September 6, 1950, seventy-four members of the class of ’47 re-entered high school for their final year of w ork, thirty-one having dropped out during the three previous years. During this last year two new members were added—Charles Hubbs and Lillian Stephens. Three graduated at mid-term and w ere married. These w ere Maxine Miller, Donora Arnold, and Lillian Stephens. Gene Smith enlisted w ith Uncle Sam and Delores Pavev withdrew, seventy-two students in all graduating. Officers for the vear were Gene Peter, president; Burke Scott, vice-president; and Ants Sabelhausc, secretary-treasurer. To guide us through our last and most im- portant vear, we chose Miss Black and Mr. Thrasher as our class sponsors. We all thank them for the fine job that they have done throughout the year. It is an important job and takes much patience and time to do it w ell. Now that the year is over they can look back and feel proud of a job well done. The vear was a busy one. The most outstanding achievement was the publishing of the Sagittarius, another was the Curtis Publishing Magazine sale for which they received a plaque for outside achievement.. Other events were the minstrel show, class night program, Junior-Senior Prom, a three-day tour to the Smoky Moun- tains, and capped by Baccalaureate Services on Sunday and Commencement on May 26, 1951. In parting we wish to thank our Superintendent, Mr. Fechtman; Principal, Mr. Lee; and faculty members for guiding us in this most important phase of our education and aiding us in our step tow ard success. Now to our un- derclassmen we wish to bring home one thing. Now is the time to study, not to- morrow. 21
