Ifitmitnrit The Class of 1925 presents the Tomahawk without apology. Its aim is to give you a true interpretation, through word and picture, of our school life, of the place where we have studied, played and laughed together. A feeling of regret, mingled with pleasure is predominate at the end of our high school life: regret that the ties of friendships and associations dear to us are to be severed; pleasure, that this period of our school life is satisfactorily completed. If this little volume in the years to come calls back tender memories of the happy days this class lias spent together, then we feel that this Tomahawk has not been prepared in vain. “Whether they delve in the buried coal, or plow the upland soil, Or man the seas, or measure the suns, hail to the men who toil!” “The Black mid Gold” Come ami 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 Teeumseh! Tecumseh must win; Fight to the finish; never give in; All play your best, boys; we’ll do the rest, boys; Fight 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.

In testimony to the truth whereof we the subscribers have set our hands in evidence in witness hereunto. LLOYD D. HALSTED. BERTHA ENYEART. (EIubb nf uJumitij-fnir We, the class of twenty-live, Arc but pioneers who strive. We came o’er sweeping prairie With a cautious step and wary Of hostile Indians, who haunt The road with warlike taunt. To challenge our way. We went on and on and o’er Rugged road and weary miles wore Past. Some came to join our band. To travel to the promising land. Tire the journey half complete Wrought with dangers yet to meet, Caine to an end. Dangers, fears, and heavy load Were not all that with us abode. Pleasures, joys, were also ours; Friendly spirit filled the hours; Love in toil .and love in work. Patience, duty, forbade us shirk That to l o done. The journey long and hard to end Has come; and you and 1, my friend Have yet to build this prairie life. With character and honest strife Into a land of ideal beauty. We shoulder now that duty To make it what we will. —T. W THE plain of Wisdom lay far in the background, but on traveled the prairie schooner, the Class of ’25, toward the hardships and happiness of the land of Experience. As the members gathered, so they scattered—gone to parts unknown. At last in the summer of 1935, only one remained aboard. Mr. Hal-sted, the faithful sponsor, weary and worn by his journey, paused by his campfire. Memories closed the eyes of the tried traveler, while thoughts of the carelfree, happy past crowded to the present. Suddenly he sat bolt upright. From out the firelight rose a shining, silver curtain; while a queer-looking pencil came darting from space to poise itself upon the silver surface. Then as if guided by an unseen hand, it began to write slowly but without hesitation. Thus read the mystified nomad: Thyra Worthman is a great authoress. She established her fame through her biography of Thurman Wadley, an authority on electricity. This book shows an unusual amount of genius. Another of her favorite works is, “Famous Sayings of the Seniors of ’25”. The Tecumseh Beaute Shoppe business has progressed rapidly. Leona Boyer is now proprietress, capably managing her one hundred and fifty employees. She still spends a great deal of her spare time with a certain young man, who has developed what seems to be a permanent wave. Doris Townsend, contrary to all expectations, and against the wish of at least six gentlemen, became a spinster school teacher. Dorotha, the better half, after several years training under Dr. Emma Ruegnitz, succeeded her as practitioner in Vecumseh and vicinity. The universal radio favorite, Thelma Crook, has recently been winning her greatest applause by presenting, “Why Old Maids Love Cats,” by Velma Richardson, who is mourning the death of her last feline. “Little Miss Mischief,” or in other words, Gertrude Ward, having been disappointed in love, is a companion to the rich Mrs. Vanderbilt, formerly Miss Gail Mc-Auliffe, of Tecumseh. Eileen Fink eloped several years ago with her electrical engineer, of the Class of ’24. It is reported that they are living happily in South America. Marjorie Anderson, star reporter for the New York Tribune received the distinction of being the first to obtain accurate knowledge of the plans of Dorothy Evans, who just recently obtained a divorce from her sixth husband. Miss Evans announces her engagement to Ling Sang Chow, an advisor of the Chinese Emperor. After a quiet ceremony, the couple will spend a few days in Paris at the mansion of Lenora Weber, now a specialist in horticulture. They will make their home in Peking. Zola Gardner, still as dependable as in her high school days, is traveling through the United States and Europe, displaying her exceptionally well painted landcapes. It is thought that Miss Gardner will become the next candidate for the Hall of Fame. The firelight flared giving the night a ghastly hue. The pencil paused, then as if the hidden writing were uncertain or afraid, again began to write making a declaration more startling than the rest: Grace Sherman is now living in Honolulu. She wears grass skirts, plays the ukelele, and is married to a dashing, young, coffee-colored hero. Bernice Clapp has replaced Mary Pickford as the world’s favorite movie actress. Her career dates from her practice at the Moon Theatre in Tecumseh. Plans are just being completed bv Ralph Hervey and John Madden, two of the world’s greatest civil engineers, for a much needed dam across the town branch back of the Tecumseh High School. Word has recently been received that Walter Roberts has been made president of the Greenland Fishery Union. He has also been doing some splendid expeditional work in search of the North Pole. Taking advantage of his high school chemistry course, Frank Thurber is operating a limburger cheese factory in Elk Creek, ably assisted by Miss Nellie Boatman, who had taken work in that line at Rohrs University. Frances Hervey is now matron of a large girls school in Arizona. For some obscure reason she seems to favor girls whose names are Jo-sephine. Holland Miller, still the “long” cf it, is doing cartoons for the Graf Daily, and in spare moments painting portraits, his latest success being, “Love’s Dream,” posed by Vetra Gariss and displayed in the Smartvillo Art Museum. Again paused the pencil. A streak of lightning flared across the sky, a blare of thunder and then all was still. The pencil writes: William Miner, entirely reformed, has gone as a missionary to South Africa. He is married to a heathen girl, and has settled down to a calm, peaceful existence among the natives. Margaret Brundage is dancing at Ziegfeld Follies, with Orville Lamb as her devoted but hopeless attendant. Charles Turner, too, has decided to live a better life. He is minister to a small church in western Nebraska, with Minnie as his faithful inspiration. Bernice Putman is now principal of Tecumseh High School. She very often becomes bewildered because there are so many “Johnnies” to claim her attention. John Olsen, himself, has obtained the exclusive position of Tecumseh street cleaner. For some reason or other, he spends most of his time in sweeping in front of the school house. Roy Sankey is now running a second hind store in Tecumseh. He has a special assortment of test-tubes, flasks and beakers, at reduced rates. Ethel Derr was this summer, the champion lady rider at Cheyenne Frontier Days. William Stephens, who has always taken an interest in growing things, has become a model farmer. In his large library, he has such books of instruction as “The Three Pigs,” “The Little Red Hen,” and “Mother Goose.” He highly prizes a book of letters from Noland Macintosh, which he has had published. Noland is now the heavyweight champion of the United States. He is training in Europe. Helen Jury is now the prized clerk at the Nebraska Farmer Building, for she can lick twenty thousand stickers a day. C. P. B. W. L. T. “THE WHOLE TOWN'S TALKING'’ Mr. Simmons, senior partner in a paint business, lias a marriageable daughter. For business reasons 'In wants her to marry his junior partner, Chet Binnev. He happens to Ik the kind of a bachelor that no woman likes. The senior partner has the idea that every woman would like to get that man whom every other woman wants. He invents some love affairs for his partner. The picture of a famous movie star is chosen as the favorite. A story is made up and allowed to leak out. All moves along well until the star herself, accompanied by her fiance, an ex-prize fighter visits the town. Things start!!!!!

Atljlptirs Coacl) tytggtns Tecumseli lias indeed been fortunate during the past year in having Dean L. Higgins in charge of the Department of Athletics Coach Higgins assumed Ids position well quali tied for his work. IIis high school football care( r was staged in the Nebraska School of Agriculture where he played for three years; two of these serving as captain. His football work was continued in Nebraska Cniversity where he played three years. During his freshman year he was a member of the team which defeated the strong Tecumseli Legion aggregation of that year. During his sopohomore year he suffered a wrenched knee which kept him from varsity work, although he continued his football training. Coach Higgins made an enviable record in varsity track work while at Nebraska. lie worked under Coach Schulte for a period of four years. During these years he represented Nebraska in the Drake Relays three times, in the Kansas Relays twice, and in the several Missouri Valley meets. Coach Higgins, standing for the highest brand of sportsmanship, has led the boys through a season truly successful. At times we finished with the lesser score, but the spirit of our team was never ’conquered. With Mr. Higgins in charge1 of the athletes who will be eligible next year, we can predict nothing but the highest success for Tecumseli High. ©rant of 1923 Back Row—McIntosh, Bense, Nelson, Olsen, Could, Coach Johnston, Rooney, P.

With Zook on the receiving end of the passes and Colton smashing the line, Tecumseh easily won 1!' to 0. Heat rice Game The following week Beatrice came, saw and conquered. Over-confidence, hard luck, and Beatrice beef paved the way for the 18 to 0 defeat. Auburn Game One of the best games of the season was played at Auburn the following week. Still seeing red from tin Beatrice game the week before, we took our spite out on Auburn to the tune of (i to 3. Fairbury Game Beginning with this game, Tecumseh got its first taste of the long streak of hard luck that followed tin rest of the entire season. Haying equally as well as the enemy, Tecumseh got tin small end of the breaks and lost the game 12 to 0. Falls City Game Meeting our old time rival we played the best possible, having several stars out because of injuries. We passed, punted, and hit the line, but to no avail. Falls City won 9 to 7. Wilber Game Journeying to Wilber the following week, the Tecumseh fans saw another good game. Outclassed, but filled with determination to score, we went home with the small end of a “32 to 6.” University Place Game Meeting another old rival, Tecumseh did her best. It was not good enough. University Place won 13 to 0. Havelock Game At the end of the first half we led with a 7 to ( score. The breaks favored Havelock in the last half and we lost the last game of the season, 7 to 19. (Our iErark rasper hi Our Tomahawk is being called to press before tin track season is fairly under way. We predict a successful season this spring with such veterans in suit as Olsen, Zook, Hervey, Iverner, Macintosh, and Fairall. Much new material is showing up to good advantage. Tecumseh will enter the Wesleyan Meet, the Beatrice South Eastern and the State Meet. 6. A. A. The Purpose:—To improve and maintain health, to fix right habits of posture and carriage and to develop the right social and civic habits through games and sports. Athletics for girls were organized this year for the first time in many years. We are working under difficult handicaps. Our slogan is, “Gymnasium without a gymnasium.” Last fall we played basketball until it got too cold to play out of doors. We had gymnasium exercises this winter. We are taking hikes and playing soccer now. We hope to play basketball., tennis and have a track team before the year is over. Coach: Ass’t. Coach: Miss Russell. Miss Yont. The officers: President, Margaret Brundage. Vice-Pres., Darleon Little. Sec’y and Treas., Ruth Kuhlman. Rec. Sec’y, Frances Hervey. The sport leaders: Soccer, Eileen Fink. Baseball, Thelma Crook.

Just previous to the holidays a Minstrel show was staged which upheld the reputation of the Hi-Y along this line. The “Mothers’ Meeting” was the feature of February. Our plan this year has been to ask various men from Teeumseh’s business group to talk to us along the line of their occupations.

There was no question in their minds but that you were destined for a great career—that you would do things which would bring credit to yourself, your family and your country. And how have you thus far in the race lived up to those high hopes and great expectations! Are you “WORTHY AND WELL QUALIFIED”— ready to “CARRY ON” in the great work of life? Is the hei itage of a good name and a proper start in life duly appreciated by you ? Will you live up to and carry out in life all those hopes and plans of your parents? We hope so.
