SENIOR CLASS HISTORY This is the class. In exactly 2 minutes 45 seconds, you will find out all you need to know about it. And then, COMMENCEMENT! How it affected their lives and the events which led up to it will now be explained. On September 4, 1956, one hundred eleven sophisticated, energetic, intelligent, happy, carefree, hard-working seniors walked through the portals of TCHS for the last year. To lead us through this last year, we elected Wilma Miller, president; Dick Kron, vice president; and Helen Anderson, secretary-treasurer. We elected Mr. Walk and Mr. McRae to put up with our gripes and minor difficulties. Our first big undertaking of the year was the magazine sales. There were two teams, the green and the blue. Eddie Eades and Rosie Gaesser were the captains of the green team and Lorna Eger and Wilma Miller were the captains of the blue team. The green team was the winner. The high salesman for the green team was Betty Werner and Lorna Eger was the high salesman for the blue team. A total of $2873.10 worth of magazines was sold, which is the highest amount that has ever been sold by this school. We ordered our calling cards in December and when they arrived in February, we created quite a turmoil as we hurried to trade them. We also ordered our invitations and the traditional white caps and gowns. On January 27, the senior girls had a chili supper. It was a huge success and we found our treasury bulging out a little more towards our trip. The senior boys had a scrap iron drive and added their part to the overflowing sack of money. On April 26, the annual Senior Class Play was held under the direction of Mr. Otis Saalman. The name of the play was The People versus Maxine Lowe. There was quite an array of talent displayed by these young thespians. We were honored by the junior class on May 4, with a banquet and prom. Baccalaureate was held May 19 in the auditorium with Reverend James McKinney of Tell City, as principal speaker. On Monday, May 20, Class Day was held with awards going to deserving students. That same evening sixty-two seniors left for the traditional trip to Chicago. On May 24, Commencement Exercises were held at 8:00 p.m. in the new gymnasium. Jackson C. Raney from Indianapolis was the principal speaker. One hundred two seniors received their diplomas. Our class flower is the carnation. Our colors are light blue and black. For out motto we chose, Nothing Succeeds Like Success. As we look forward, we see many trials ahead of us. . . off to college . . . Uncle Sam beckons . . . favorite pas- time: job hunting . . . making new friends . . . the right one comes along . . . attaining alumni status . . . treking on the road of life . . . the college of hard knocks . . . calculus, psychology, and political science . . . these are the future. On the preceding page are the class officers, sponsors, and representatives to the student council who are: Jackie Finch, Rosie Gaesser, and Eddie Eades. 20

These members of the cafeteria staff, along with others working in schools throughout our town, and several student helpers are responsible for preparing and serving well-balanced, nourishing meals. Their facilities were increased and their duties simplified by the purchase of much new kitchen equipment this year. The custodial staff painted several rooms; scrubbed, sealed, and waxed all the floors and halls in all of the schools during the summer. An old hand at cleaning the halls is Chester Smith.
