I The Teeeheee' Creed. H 45 ld believe in boys and girls, the men and women of a great toniorrowg that whatsoever the boy soweth the man shall reap. We believe in the curse of ignorance, in the etlicacy of schools, in the dignity of teaching, and in the joy of serving others. We believe in wisdom as revealed in human lives as well as in the pages of a printed book, in lessons taught not so much by precept as by example. in ability to work with the hands as well as to think with the head, in everything that makes life large and lovely. We believe in beauty in the school room, in the home, in the daily life and in a11d out of doors. We believe in laughter, in love, in faith. in all distant, hopes that lure us on. We believe that every hour of every day we receive a just reward for all we are and for all we do. We believe in the present and its opportunities, in the future and its promises, and in the divine joy of living.

I I Historical. I I H E Bremen High School graduated its lirst class in 1890. Some of the High School branches had been taught before this class entered. but the High School had not been conducted as a department separate from the grades. At this time the schools were under the supervision of Prof. Henry H. Miller. who had stood at the helm for many years. and had laid a good foundation in the grades on which the department of secondary instruction might be built. ln 18202 Prof. J. E. Pomeroy became Principal. He re- mained in charge but one year. and no High School class was graduated. In 1893 he was succeeded by Prof. IJ. B. Flickiliger. under whose teaching a class of four boys lin- ished the course in the Spring of 1894. ln September of 1894 Prof. W. F. Ellis was elected Super- intendent. and has continued at the head until the present time. With him was associated, as assistant. Miss Lizzie Christie. a graduate of the Northern Indiana Normal School. The class of this year, consisting of three girls. will ever remember their humble and primitive eltorts at laboratory work, without apparatus, in the little supply room. They were the lirst to listen to a baccalaureate sermon, and their commencement orator was that educational evangelist, and teacher of teachers, Arnold Tompkins. During the years 1896-97 Prof. 1. S. Hahn served as High Sehool assistant. Mr. Hahn was promoted from a position in the grades on account of his skill as a teacher, and in 1897 he left us to take charge of the schools at Vulver. Indiana.
