We as seniors look back on the year 1948 and remember our first day of school. It is with regret that we leave all these days of trial and fun behind us. That first day was a mad rush from one class to another, looking for someone from whom we could buy a study hall book. We, all 119 of us. were taken in by usual pranks and jokes that are pulled on green freshmen. But then we had our first class meeting. It gave us a feeling of importance, when we elected as our first class officers: Earl Malone, president: Joe Paulin, vice president: and Ronnie Birchler, secretary- treasurer. For our student council representative we chose Joe Spencer. Our sponsors were Mr. Hollen and Miss Royal. For freshman cheer leaders we chose Earl Malone, Joyce Kramer, and Tootie Frieler. Tootie was also elected Junior Carnival Queen. Bob Freeman received high recognition as an outstanding football player. As we were yet rather unfamiliar with extra curricular activities, our only sponsored activity was a Sadie Hawkins dance, which proved to be a huge success. We soon found the end of our first year swiftly approaching, so we made plans for the annual class picnic which was held at Lincoln City. Ready for vacation, we closed our books for summer. The vacation passed quickly and we again found ourselves back in school, electing officers to aid us through our sophomore year. They were: Ronnie Birchler, president; Bob Freeman, vice president; Mary Lou Hoffman, secretary-treasurer; and Charles Schrieber and Sue Hubbs as our student council represent- atives. Mr. Hollen and Mr. Sprinkle were chosen as class sponsors. Disregarding school tradition, we ordered our school Jackets and sweaters in the late fall instead of waiting until our junior year. On December 2, between halves of the Tell City--Mt. Vernon game, we presented the coronation of T. C. H. S. 's second basketball queen. In early spring our class sponsored the annual Faculty vs. Seniors basketball game. We had accomplished very much this past year and looked forward to our next year, when we would be upperclassmen.

September rolled around again and we entered school with a greater feeling of responsibility. We knew we had a big year ahead of us and to make the sailing smoother we elected the following people to be our class officers: Jerry Powers, president; and Larry Alvey, Earl Malone, and Mary Alice Lauer as our student council representatives. We also chose Mr. Kreager and Mrs. Dolezal as our Junior sponsors. We started to raise money right away, which we would need in our senior year. The Junior Amateur Hour and the Junior Carnival both aided us in our task. We also received our class rin , which, for years to come will remind us of the many happy hours spent at T. C. H. S. May came and we sponsored the Junior-Senior Banquet and Prom. The banquet was held at the Wm. Tell Hotel and the prom at the Moose home. Everyone attending enjoyed those events. Then came graduation, which took on a more solemn meaning, for we realized that we would be graduating. We felt that we had almost reached our goal. That fall we were seniors, sophisticated seniors. To aid us through our last and most important year, we have elected Jerry Powers, president; Joe Spencer, vice president; Ed Kreager, secretary-treasurer; and Charles Schriber, Sue Hubbs, Bob Freeman, Bill Vogelmann, as student council representatives. For our sponsors we chose Miss Black and Mr. Thrasher. Our motto was Within ourselves our future lies ; our class flower, the rose; and our class colors were scarlet and silver. There was much to be done, we made plans for the sponsoring of a magazine sale campaign. Although we did not quite reach our ultimate goal, we have broken the record of sales in comparison to previous years. We also had a bake sale from which we netted approximately seventy- five dollars. Our next step was to order our calling cards and invitations. The most difficult of all projects undertaken by the class was the publishing of the annual, the Sagittarius. On May 10, the prom was held at the Country Club. Baccalaureate Services were held at the high school on Sunday, May 18. The next two days were spent on our senior trip. The trip will be long remembered as one of the highlights of our days at Tell City High. May 22nd marked ourClass Day and finally Commencement exercises were held on May 23, with O. H. Roberts, Jr. of Evansville as speaker. Now graduation is here and each of us will soon be going his separate way. Exactly what our fortunes will be--only time will tell. But to our underclassmen, we would like to pass on these words, Success does not depend alone on the heights you reach, but how well you work to attain those heights. For in each individual, there is the power to do a thing--and to do it well!
