Un- der leaders Jerald Teutsch, president; Colista Diehl, secretary; Otis Kline, ti ' easurer; and j lr. (lOodrich, sponsor, we took up our work. Almost im- mediately, we began to sell tickets for a Ijyceum Course. Systematically we canvassed the town, and soon enough tickets were sold to insui ' e a good profit from the ])roceeds. Without a douht the most outstanding feature pi ' omoted 1)y us ilui ' ing this year was the class play; hut we owe to Miss (li ' eathatch and Mr. (loodi ' ich, our coaches, the success which this unusual production of Clarence merited. Fi-oni the proceeds of the lyceum and the play we are ;d)le to pulilish this an- nual, which, with our gratefulness, and sincerity, we leave to the patrons, alumni, faculty, and students of our dear Butler High School.
