ECHOES OF 1933 Raymond LaBounty has concealed his future ambition until lately. We have been told he intends to start farming. We have provided a model farm so that his venture will be well guided. Douglas Lenardson dreams of achievement in fields of athletics but this will mean exposure to sun, wind, and weather so we are presenting him with something to preserve his manly beauty — a skin beautifier. We understand that Betty Linger has aspirations for a musical career, so to aid her in realizing her dreams we are presenting her with a pitch-pipe. By all indications Ruth Maynard will be a stenographer. We felt that this carbon paper would be very useful for later use. Dependability should be rewarded. We have selected this medal to reward George Meads for his dependability in basketball. Bertha Miller is master of the pothooks and for her we have a binder for her forthcoming book on shortcuts to stenography. Fay Munger, as sales manager of the annual, has been so shocked by the enormous sales of the annuals that we shall provide some smelling salts to help revive him. Charles Osburn wishes to be a millionaire. To encourage this masterly am- bition we shall give him a penny for seed. For Elizabeth Osburn we have provided an autograph album, this will be a constant reminder of her friends of Tecumseh High School. Margaret Pennington ' s serious moments are few and far between. As first aid at those times we are presenting her with a wet blanket to suppress her effer- vescent spirits. Efficiency is Gertrude Roger ' s slogan and how she has built up to it. For her we have chosen a notebook in which to budget her time and talent. Each great man has made a mark in the world. For Eugene Skinner we have selected a pencil that he may make a mark for himself. Elmer Sneary would not be Elmer without his freckles and red hair. In order that he may keep the latter we are presenting him with the Henna Shampoo. Robert Stone has two outstanding characteristics, always quiet and always busy. In order that he shall receive his just dues, we are presenting him with this gift that he may blow his own horn. Roger VanValkenburg never seems to run out of things to do. In case he does this will supply an inspiration. (Doll cutouts). Jane Warner seems hard to please, but certainly from this galaxy, she should find one to suit her taste. We believe in encouraging artists talent and believe that Leon Williamson would find nothing more useful than this box of colored crayons, with which he may sketch his way through life. Constancy is a jewel and we feel that this would be a fitting gift for Jack Wilson. The speed on the typewriter, which Marie Wintersteen has acquired almost passes believing. We feel that this watch will help her to be accurate in determin- ing her top-most speed. Twenty-five

ECHOES OF 1935 It is not yet known but Clara Eyler wishes to be a school teacher. We hope that this ruler will be of much use in the future, Clara. Donald Cook has shown such an aptitude toward agriculture that we felt that he should be encouraged along that line. So we have for Donald a tractor as a start toward his equipment for this vocation. There are two members of our class whose stature makes it rather difficult for them to make much headway. In order to remedy this we have provided a pair of stilts for Clover Guy, and Imogene Crittenden in order that they may make great strides in the future. William Damon is a talented violinist and that he may have what every violinist needs, we are presenting him with this bit of rosin. Smile and the world smiles with you. is the motto of Robert Erlenbush and a very good one it is. But at times the very brilliance seems to blind one. Therefore we feel that an umbrella which would dim the brilliance of his smile would be very appropriate. Edna Graham is noted for her popularity and for her we have provided a magnet to use in case her magnetism fails. To not have an ambition is a serious thing. After reviewing all signs we have decided that the role of a truck driver would be especially suitable for William Feight. This book of rules and instructions will help you, Bill, especially notice the one on taking the curves. One of our classmates has an excellent store of knowledge, yet as we under- stand things there is always room for more, so we have provided an Encyclopedia for Julia Freer to add to her store of knowledge. Melvin Greenwold says all he lacks is pep. That was easy — here it is. Melvin. For Betty Ann Hall we have provided her favorite song, Show Me the Way to Go Home. Henry Hamilton ' s greatest desire, as we understand, is for speed. To endulge in that desire for speed, we have chosen a Blue-Bird for Henry. As Joyce Harriot ' s hobby is collecting baseball pictures, we feel that this picture of The Tigers will be acceptable. For Frank Harris, we have a badge, as a Dicks emblem of success. We believe that perseverance should be rewarded and that a medal for William Hastings would be the suitable reward for his outstanding work as laboratory di- rector in Physics. To be the only boy on the honor roll is a great accomplishment as John Heeson will testify. We hope that this candle will aid him to continue to be a bright shining light. There are many members of our class who drive cars, but the expert is Sarah Jane Heilman and for that reason we have procured a chauffeur ' s license — whether she uses it or not remains to be seen. Iris Jones says she likes to argue and that she always likes to win. In order that she may do so we have provided Hints For Argufiers. That girl who always has a smile, accurately describes Betty Kopke. In order that nothing shall ever change the description of Betty ' s face, I have selected this joke book that she may always have something to laugh at. Twenty-Four
