Senior Class History Nearing the close of our four years in Tell City High School, we began to stop and think back over those yeais we have spent trying to further our education. Beginningouropeningdaysof high school, we, like most Freshman classes before us, selected our sponsors for the year, Mr. Lowe and Mr. Sprin- kle. Our class officers were: Gary York, presi- dent; Oral Goble, vice-president; Mary Hubbs, secretary -treasurer. The Freshman basketball squad had a very good year, winning 11 and losing 5. The football team won 4 and lost none. Mr. Roos was the coach. The Frosh yell leaders were Mary Hubbs, Betty Hughes, Kay Peyton, and Martha Wathen. Our Sophomore year started with 92 returning from the summer vacation. At the first class meeting. Miss Deane and Mr. Roos were chosen as sponsors. The class officers were: FayeSan- dage, president; Don Clark, vice-president; Sam- mie Hargis, secretary-treasurer. The first big un- dertaking of ourSophomore year was the ordering of the traditional class jackets which we received in the latter part of February. The class sponsored a school basketball tourney, which was our first profitable enterprise. The final event of the year was the annual picnic at Lincoln State Park with the class finishing with an enrollment of 87. Our Junior year began much as the previous years, except we returned feeling much older and wiser. The class selected Mr. McRae and Mr. Brewster to help guide us through this big and im - portant year. For class officers we selected David Ettensohn, president; Jerry Etienne, vice-presi- dent; and Janet Bnte, secretary-treasurer. One of the first events of our Junior year was the or- deringofour class rings. Later followed the Jun- ior Carnival, which along with the Junior Play entitled 'Man on the Stairs', and the class tour- ney, provided funds for the Junior, Senior Banquet and Prom. This big event was held at the K of C Home. Carrying out the Oriental Theme, the room was decorated with Chinese Lanterns, ori- ental posters, and all the things that would go in- to making a Oriental Prom a success. This big year was brought to a close with the school pic- nic held at Lincoln City. Our first three years were extremely busy, but nothing compared to this last year. It had finally arrived. During grade school we said, We can’t wait until our last year. We've talked about the things we plan to do in that final year, which would complete our high school education. The class of 1956 began this year with an en- rollment of eighty. As soon as classes were re- sumed in the fall we seniors met and selected our class sponsors for this all important year . We made a very good choice in selecting Miss Black and Mr. Thrasher. At this time we also selected class officers as follows: Jerry Etienne, president; Bill Everly, vice-president; Janet Brite, secre- tary-treasurer. The officers and sponsors quickly met to plan and discuss the functions of this com- ing year. Atthis time we selected for the student council Faye Sandage, Sharon Jenkins, and Bill Everly. The seniors again sponsored a magazine sale, which proved very successful. Among other fund raisingevents we sponsored dances and sold class pins, from which we received a great response. In early spring we held the Senior Play entitled, 'AH MEN , under the direction of Mr. Otis Saal- man which proved to be very unusual. On May 5 we were given a Junior -Senior Banquet and Prom held at the K of C Home which was well attended and very much appreciated. Baccalaureate Service was held Sunday, May 20, in the Tell City High School Auditorium. On Monday, May 21, we held our Class Day Program. Awards were given the deserving stu- dents. That same evening 48 seniors left for Chi- cago for the Senior Trip. The following Friday, May 25, seventy -six seniors were graduated at Commencement Exer- cises at 8:00 P.M. in the Tell City High School Auditorium. Rev. Nevin Danner was the principle speaker. Sharon Lauergave the valedictory-, and the salutatorian's address was given by Mary Gof- finet. The Tell City High School Band played the processional and recessional marches and other selections. The class chose for its colors blue and white; the class flower was a red carnation; and our class song was written to the melody of Moments to Remember . These last four years we have been preparing Not For Today, But For Tomorrow , 29
