2 Opening NEW Where do we begin to recap- ture the images and emotions of a year in the lives of so many people ... on the football practice field at dusk of an August day while heat lightning flashes silently in the clouds looming far off in the distance, ... in a dimly lit crowd- ed corridor before the beginning of school while we stand around and chat about weekend exper- iences, ... in the bleachers of Le- gion Field on a pleasant autumn night while the band performs a renditiop of Rossini’s “William Tell Overture,” ... in an uncom- fortable classroom, blowing hot and then cold, while we doodle on a notebook as the instructor de- scribes the anatomy of a worm, ... or in the chairs of the gradu- ation ceremony late in May, as we thoughtfully reflect upon the last twelve years and the next ten? The yearbook staff had to de- cide where to begin the 1980 Sag- ittarius with a theme that could recount for everyone the moments of the 1979-80 school year. After looking at several possibilities, we decided to use the theme “New MORNING Morning” from a song by Bob Dylan. What theme could better describe the beginning of a new decade than that of “New Morn- ing?” The past year was the morning of a new decade which, like all mornings, bred all the uncertainty of a new day. And as morning began to pass, the staff began to prepare the following pages in an attempt to capture a small piece of everyone’s life during the year.

William Tell and son found a home in Tell City in August of 1974, atop the fountain in city park. On its way to Tell City in July, however, the statue and the van it was in were stolen from a hotel parking lot. Both were later recovered in Cleveland, Ohio and arrived in time for the Schweizer Fest.

Clockwise from upper left. The hill, as it simply became known as, was definitely a colorful characteristic of TCHS through- out the expansion project. In this photo, several students take time out to observe the monotony of school life in the shade on the hill. A new morning a rises over a darkened city of tiny lights. Gathering next to the lockers, Rhonda Snyder, Darla Hook, Tina Tharp, and Pat Goble await the beginning of a new day of classes. Construction workers were an ever famil- iar sight. This fellow tracks through the mud that will soon be a hallway connect- ing the old to the new. Opening 3
