Education had its start in Tecumseh in the fall of 1856 when I. C. Lawrence built the first school house and conducted school in it. In 1872 a stone building, yet standing and comprising a part of the present grade building, was built at a cost of $6,000. In 1884 the brick part of the present grade building was built and this, together with some frame ward buildings, housed the continually growing schools till the present high school building was erected in 1904 at a cost of $17,000. The school district at present is in excellent financial condition running on a 23. mill leyy with a sufficient surplus at the beginning of each year so that all warrants are instantly cashed through the year without drawing interest. The Tecumseh High School graduated its first class in 1887. Since that time with this year’s class 350 students have been graduated, the classes continually growing in size till this year’s class numbers thirty-eight. In 1898 the Tecumseh High School became a twelve grade high school and in 1908 it became a normal training high school, recognized by the state department. Since that time a large per cent of the graduates have taFen the normal training course and have gone out into the schools of the county as successful teachers. For the last two years Tecumseh has had a larger normal training class than any other school in the state. NON-RESIDENT PUPILS. The Tecumseh High School has a large attendance of non-resident pupils. This year eighty of the one hundred ninety registered have been non-residents. This is the largest non-resident attendance enjoyed by any high school in the state. Tecumseh has an advantage in this respect by being the county seat, centrally located and the only twelve grade high school of any size in the county. FACULTY. There are sixteen teachers employed in the Tecumseh schools, six of whom are high school teachers. In the high school no teachers are employed but graduates of a four year college course. At present all have had professional training in addition. The high school maintains a high standard of organization, equipment and teaching force as indicated by its admission to the North Central Association of High Schools and Colleges. EQUIPMENT. Few high schools are better equipped than the Tecumseh High School. The chemistry laboratory is thoroughly equipped, having desks and supplies for individual work in a year’s course. The physics laboratory is also well equipped in every respect for individual work for a year’s course. Good equipment is also at hand for the other sciences, botany, physiography, etc. LIBRARY ' ‘‘ The high school has a good working library to to which carefully selected additions are constantly being made so that work in history, literature, etc., can be broad and thorough. TEXT BOOKS The district furnishes all necessary text books and supplies. The list of text books is constantly being revised and none but the latest and best are used. BASKET BALL TEAM GROUNDS. Last year the board made a valuable addition to the school property in the form of a twelve acre tract of land adjoining the building lots on the rear. This gives Tecumseh the finest school grounds in the state. A small stream that never goes dry runs through the tract. There is some beautiful natural timber, hills and level spaces which altogether make an ideal playground and place for agricultural work which the school is planning to take up. Ample room is afforded for base ball, tennis and all the sports which are attractive to young people. DOMESTIC SCIENCE. A course in domestic science has been established this year and is carried out on the Crete plan. At present fourteen of Tecumseh’s prominent women constitute the faculty. The students in groups of eight meet their instructors in the instructor’s own home at times which they designate and take instructions in the particular subjects in which the respective ladies give instruction. The students then do their practice work in their own homes, and when they have attained proficiency in the preparation of the articles required, a sample may be .taken to a domestic science exhibit which is held at convenient times, and there judged and graded. At present about seventy girls have registered in the course. A .j di is given for the completion of the course, about twenty articles of cookery. DECLAMATORY CONTEST. A declamatory contest has become a regular annual event in the Tecumseh High School. This year there were seven contestants. Sarah Apperson won first and went to the district contest at Beatrice, where she took third place among nine exceptionally strong contestants. A gold medal is offered the winner in the local contest. NORMAL TRAINING CLASS DEBATES. The Tecumseh High School is a member of the state debating league. Inter high school and local debates jdve the pupils a chance for development in public speaking. A course in debating is contemplated for next vear. SPORTS. Among the boys, basket ball, base ball, tennis and tra k athletics afford the necessary exercise for student life. The elegant grounds afford ample accommodation for these at all times. NEW COURSES. For next year several new courses are being planned. Equipment for manual training will be put in this summer, and a course offered next year Plans are also being laid to put in several additional semesters of agricultural work next year with necessary equipment. In addition to the domestic science work given by the Crete plan some regular class work and laboratory work will be offered at the school building next year. CITY LIBRARY High School Song—Cheer for Tecumseh. GLADYS GERRY Come and sing, all ye loyal Indians, Come and give a rousing cheer, Join our line as we march along so fine With hearts that have no fear. Strong and bold, beneath the black and gold, We will march in grand array, So everybody shout and sing, For this is Tecumseh’s day. Chorus—Cheer for Tecumseh! Tecumseh must win; Fight to the finish; never give in; All play your best, boys; we’ll do the rest, boys; bight for the victory. Soon the foe shall our strength in conflict know, Soon our power they shall feel, Vanquished then they’ll give way to our Indians, Whose cords are strong as steel. Then let us hear, ringing out another cheer; Which will drive defeat away, So everybody shout and sing For this is Tecumseh’s day.

The first settlers in Johnson county came in 1856, and it was in the summer of that year that half a dozen settlers gathered in a nucleus forming the village later known as Tecumseh. The buildings were only a few rudely and hastily built log huts, and during the winter of 1856 7 the settlers suffered many hardships Nothing had been raised the previous summer and the nearest trading station was Brownville, forty miles away. No roads existed and the heavy snows made travel almost impossible. But the settlers ran cut of provisions and had to reach Brownville or starve. It took them a week of almost superhuman effort to make the trip. The town site of Tecumseh was laid out in 1856 by John Maulding who kept a store and lodging house. The village was named after the famous Indian chief. It soon became a favorite stopping place for travelers to and from Brownville. Tecumseh was made county seat of Johnson county, February 13, 1857 by act of the legislature. The village also had its postmaster in 1857 and during the year a saw mill and several other community conveniences were located in the village. It continued however a struggling hamlet of not over one hundred persons till after the civil war when it seemed 'To take on new life. The village was incorporated as a town, Feb. 4, 1867. In 1868 the first court house was built as well as the first church by the Catholics. I he town s first newspaper was also started in this year. In 1871 the town was given a new impetus by railroad activities, the first railroad, the Atchison Nebraska, now the Burlington, running its first train through on April 25. 1872. This growth enabled the town to organize under the city form ol government in 1871, but the enactment by the legislature in 1880, requiring a population of 1,500 for a city form of government set it back to a town government for a time In 1882 the Holdrege-Nebraska City line of the Burlington Railroad was built through. About this time a period of growth and prosperity started which reached its height in the latter 80s, when a number of the city’s substantial improvements were made. In 1888 the county built a new court house. The same year the city water works were put in and a few years later the city lighting plant was installed. Substantial business blocks have been added now and then or taken the place of old ones that outlived their usefulness or burned till now the entire business section presents a very substantial and pleasing appearance. At present Tecumseh is a thriving county-seat town in one of the richest agriculural and fruit growing regions of Nebraska. It is apparently taking on new life just now, which would seem to be indicated by the fact that it has this spring voted bonds for a sewer system and water-works extension, which are now being constructed. These up to date improvements, together with its natural beauty as a residence city and its excellent railroad facilities, are encouraging the city’s growth as a residence as well as a business town. A number of traveling salesmen are finding it an agreeable and convenient home. The cultural and moral tone of the town are good, as well as the churches and social facilities. The Johnson County Fair Association has its grounds joining the corporation limits. One of its buildings has been built in partnership with the Chautauqua Association which conducts annually a ten day Chautaqua—and is in a thriving condition.

I believe in the rules and regulations of our faculty; I believe in the verdancy of the Freshmen, the insignificance of the Sophomores, the egotism of the Juniors and the superiority of the Seniors. I believe in abolishing examinations, at least in the Senior Class. I believe in the efficiency of the quizzes given by Miss Faus. I believe in the success of the Class of 1912. Class Will. BY LILLIAN SMITH. We, the Seniors of the Tecumseh High School, do hereby give and bequeath all our high school possessions which are of no further use to us during the remainder of our lives. The said possessions which we have hereby mentioned include the following; The use of class room three for class meetings; our old stand-by marches which have been so effectively rendered by Muriel Thomas and Hannah Keegan during the past year; the opportunity of attempting Alexander’s Rag-time Band lor a march; our text-books which have imparted so much useful knowledge to us, we do gladly give to each and every one that they might also receive some of the said knowledge; we bequeath our back-seats, which were given to us as a reward of merit to the Juniors, who may have the honor of occupying them next year; for the succeeding year we do gladly bequeath them to the Sophomores. We do solemnly hope that the Juniors acquire the privilege of having an outing day. Lastly, we do gladly give and bequeath all the good luck that is necessary for a successful senior year. This is the last will and testament of The Seniors Of the T. H. S. Junior Class Poem. BY WHEELER CANFIELD. Its the race of life we all must run, The rest you’ll have to guess; We’ll fight our fight till all is done, For the good of the T. H. S. And when the fight is lost or won, You can tell who has won the race; The way to tell, and the only way, Is by the smile on the Junior’s face. The Juniors. BY SARAH APPERSON. A new constellation has been sighted midst the stars, It is the nineteen thirteen Senior class of ours. Each member has the brilliancy of a thonsand candle power, And can get his daily lessons in a quarter of an hour. They are famous for their learning, And in mines of knowledge delye; They are not just plain wind jammers, Like the Seniors, nineteen twelve. Each has a tablet waiting within the halls of classic fame, And generations passing will ask from whence they came, The answer through the ages will ever be the same— They hail from old Tecumseh; from the (1913) class just named. ssvio aomnl Junior Class President Secretary Treasurer .
