Mr. Edwin Suavely a Early in September the question was brought up of the possibilities of publishing an annual in 13. T. H. S. The following committee was appointed to make investiga tions: Mary Margaret Fleming. Chairman: Mary Frances Vance and .Joe Kittenhouse. This committee discussed the problem with numerous publishing companies, and also with advisors of several schools that had published yearbooks. They found that a goocl book could be put out at a reasonable cost, so alter they had presented their report to the seniors, and that class had decided to sponsor the project, the committee laid plans for a sales campaign. It was decided that the best policy to avoid financial difficulties was to get the money, and then spend it. The seniors were divided into two teams. They agreed that the team which sold the most books was to be given a party by the losers. At the close of the race the returns showed that one hundred sixty-three books had been sold. This seemed a safe amount to start with, so a committee was appointed to choose nominees for the staff. When this matter had been disposed of. contracts were drawn up and work began in earnest. The class voted to name the book the Betohi. This is a traditional name in our school: it is derived from the words liEment Township High. We staff members have put in a lot of time on this project. All of us found our jobs entirely different from anything we had ever before done. We feel that we have gained something by our labors — that it has been time well spent. We hoi e that we have paved the way for future yearbooks, but above all we hope that you enjoy our finished product. We are proud to present THE 11)37 BETOHI. Page four
