A SHORT HISTORY OF TELL CITY HIGH SCHOOL This year s graduating class brings the total number of graduates from TCHS to 2,941. The first class to graduate was the class of 1905, with 3 members. At that time, our high school had two teachers--Mr. Chris Newman, superintendent of schools, and Mr. Hardin Whitmarsh, principal of the high school. In the early days, there were few subjects offered, and no choice was given students in courses. All freshmen took geography, government, algebra, grammar , and Latin. All sophomores took algebra , Latin, literature and physics . All juniors took geometry, Latin, literature and physics, andal 1 seniors took geometry, Latin, literature, and botany. A newspaper clipping from 1906 lists 37 students in the entire four years of high school. Also, at that time, grades earned by each student in each subject were printed in the Tell City News. Several of the smaller graduating classes have been: 1905 and 1906---3 1907 and 1916---4 1910----5 1917 --7 1915----9 1918 -10 1908, 1909, 1913, 1921, and 1922---11 Classes with over 100 graduates have been: 1955---101 1057---102 1959 -112 1960 -114 1961 -128 1962 -132 1963 -133 For the first few years, the high school was housed in the Old North Building, which stood where Newman Building does now. From 1909 to 1928, the present Franklin Building was the high school s home. The new building on Twelfth Street was occupied in 1928, with additions in 1951 and 1963. Our city has had eight superintendents: Chris Newman (1898 to. 1923), Charles Hanner (1923 to 1929), J. S. Turner (1929 to 1934), Glen Traw (1934 to 1939), Napoleon Dixon (1939 to 1949), Fred Fechtman (1949 to 1955), Glen Bretz (1955 to 1958), and Grady Swadley (1958 to ------). During the year 1962 to 1963, our school had 35 teachers, several of whom spend part of their time in the grade schools. The average cost of 9 months schooling for each pupil for the past school year was $ 396.60. Mr. Hugh Thrasher has been serving as principal since 1956. 2
