Tell City High School - Sagittarius Yearbook (Tell City, IN)

Page 6 text:

Welcome Back The football team had a great year and managed to put some spirit back into Tell City High School. The entire town and school were decorated with signs and ribbons. Nearly all of the local stores were sold out of decorating supplies when Tell City went to the big state final game at the Hoosier Dome. As I write this in January, I thought that we probably could have used a little more snowfall. As usual, it went either north or south of us and we ended up with flurries and disappointment. Despite the lack of snow days, however, students were pleasantly surprised to receive a free afternoon on January 28 due to a corpo- ration-wide teachers' meeting. How did you spend your afternoon. I went shopping with my boyfriend. I went to the movies just about every weekend this year. Some of my favorites included Top Gun, The Golden Child, An American Tail, Karate Kid II, About Last Night, Crocodile Dundee, and The Three Amigos. Did you catch any of these movies? Advanced PE students Leah Birchler, Jessica Steed, and Ann Northerner get in the swim. Giving up their study hall. Peer Tutors Rick Schneider and Lisa Waninger help Chad Mullis.

Dear Tell City High School: Hi! How’s it going? It’s been a pretty good year so far, don't you think? We saw some new faces around the building this year. One, in particular, belonged to Mr. Larry Moore, Principal. He seems like a pretty nice guy, so far. Other newcomers in- cluded Mr. Michael Boenigk and the kids in the Life Skills class. This class relieved some students from the boredom of study hall by allowing them to help as peer tutors in the moderately handicapped class. Mr. Nick Rice moved from the junior high school to team teach the vocational Building Trades class. A lot of us remembered taking shop from him while we were in junior high. Mr. Jonathan Gurney, Band Director, celebrated his first year at Tell City High School with a new baby daughter and a fourth place win at the State Marching Band contest at the Hoosier Dome. Due to the new state law, the Class of 1987 was the last to be able to graduate mid-term. That's pretty much a bummer for the rest of us who have to go four full years. Something we’ve never seen before in our halls was the girls wearing stirrup pants. Also very popular were long (and the longer the better) sweaters and sweater skirts. For the guys, “Coke” tops and crew cuts seemed to be in. Larry Moore is serving his first year as Principal of Tell City Students in Health Occupations are caught in a candid moment, h School. m Brumfield and friends wait for their buses after school. Welcome to Tell City High! OPENING 1

The biggest downer of the year was the number of businesses that closed in Perry County. Almost every time I picked up the newspaper, there was a huge ‘‘Going Out of Business” sale being advertised. Every morning in the hallways, I could hear kids talking and their conversations were never complete without “C-ya , “Whaa!”, “Chill out”, “Hey”, Decent”, or the Old Faithful of “Let’s party!” Let’s not forget the horror stories—like is the yearbook real or is it a figment of everyone’s imagination? Several people tried to help but the faithful 16 finally managed to put this together. I’d like to add a super big thanks to Ms. Peter, Mr. Boenigk, and Mrs. Belcher for bailing us out of our sinking ship. Well, I’ve got to get to work on the rest of the book now. As you turn the pages, I hope your memories of this year are as fond as mine. C-ya next year, Lisa Trible, Editor At the Hoosier Dome, Danna Hosier and Michelle Pund cheer their team on as the players advance to the field. At a pep session two days after the state playoffs, spirits still soar as TCHS finished second in the state. Spectators eagerly watched the instant replay board after each play to see the Marksmen once more in action. OPENING 3
