The combined Senior Picnic was held at Exposition Park, pieswere thrown at the Tecumsehns and Continental class cabinet. Under Paris Skies was the senior prom. In honor of the Continentals.

Now that the moment that some have waited for, some have feared, but all have dreaded has arrived, we realize how much Manual means to us. Oh Manual may we never bring but honor to thy name. With these words we leave you. Manual, to reach our goal in life. TTifriTi i a ggj ia sgaggq TECUMSEHN CLASS PRESIDENT ' S FAREWELL Looking back over the past three years I realize that Manual has not only been a home, but also a small community.

Manual, remembering the thoughts and deeds you have taught us. Willard Penn, President, Tecumsehn Class STUDENT BODY PRESIDENT ' S FAREWELL The three years the Tecumsehn class has spent here at Manual Arts have been memorable ones.
