Uni. of Nebr. A. B. Uni. of Cal. Uni. of Col. Dedication H R the sympathetic interest she takes in each student’s progress; For the lasting example she sets the students by her high ideals; We, the Class of 1927 of Tocumseh High School, respectfully dedicate this, our year book, to her who has served as principal throughout our entire high school career. MISS BERTHA ENYEART Foreword gS we watch the curtains fall on the last activities of the school year of 1927 we offer you this Tomahawk, which strives to express the ideals and the spirit of our Alma Mater and which we trust will serve in the years to come as a veritable Treasure House of happy memories. “Still Sits the School House on the Hill” What happy memories come thronging back to those who have gone out into life, never to be back at that school-house. We will never forget Chose hours crowded with pleasures; the hours we have spent in the old red brick building. Memories of the many times we have walked up the steps, or came rushing down two at a time, only to try it over “one at a time;” of the rallies just before a football game, when the old halls rang with the shouts of the “Indians;” of the hours spent in struggling with equations and theorems; of he gab fests held in the halls. These and many others will come rushing back whenever we think of “High School.” But after many years have passed and these recollections have become faded and blurred, we will have one thing which even time cannot take away. We may forget the Latin verbs, and the compound fractions; but we can never forget the lessons in character building, for character, if built on a solid foundation, cannot be worn away by the storms of life, and we are gaining in our life in Tecumseh High, our characters —built just as we choose to build them. Let us watch then, Comrades, that we build our characters in such a way that they will always serve as buffers against the world, that we may ever keep high the standards and ideals of “Our School.” Board of Education Mrs. Frank Nail Mr. Owen J. McDougal Mr. Charles E. Stewart Mrs. Daisy Hervey Mr. Ernest C. Hedrick Mr. Edward Olson To you, as tli ‘ chosen representatives of the people of the community, is due the gratitude of the Class of 11)27 and all those who have enjoyed the privilege of attending school in Tecumseh. Education Today is far different than that of Yesterday—and the changing conception has been grasped and we are the ones benefitted. Yc assure you of our appreciation and ask that you follow our careers in the hope that we may do something which will in some measure repay you. I LLOYD I). HALSTED Superintendent Tecumseh, Nebr.

Having had so much more experience than you, we feel more than competent to hand you a few remarks which we trust you will deign to heed as life thrusts its problems before you. To the Senior Class in general. If you wish to make a success in life and have the name of your class held in the highest esteem, you will have to work harder than you have in the past four years. George Moore, we urge you to be fast in nothing but typewriting. It never pays. Maurice Long, in your dignity, although you will make your way through the world by means of your gift of gab, you should once in a while agree with other people. Freda and Elizabeth, always remember that red hair is more attractive than a red headed temper. Elva, always let your music tune you up to work in harmony with the world and never in discord. Leland, you will find that your habits of sleeping when other people, especially teachers, are trying to talk to you and also your habit of singing when others are trying to make the best of their time, are habits which you should try to overcome. We might give definite advice to each and every member, he needs its help, however we, will refrain from this. It is difficult to speak without telling the truth, and how the truth can hurt sometimes. We know you will not be offended by the brotherly and sisterly advice we have handed out. We are wishing you Seniors the best of luck as you leave Tecumseh High. She will miss you and we will try to fill your places. Come back at times to see how we are succeeding. We will fully expect to hear of the success of the various members of the Class of ’27. 1 he 1 hirteenth Chair’’ ‘•One of the best plays ever presented in Tecumseh,” was the comment which followed the presentation of “The Thirteenth Chair” by the Junior Class. The play is a difficult one and requires skill in presenting; however the cast fulfilled the highest hopes. Each member of the players portrayed the character assigned him in a manner which left little to be desired. The plot of the play gets under way early. A “fake” seance has been arranged in the home of Roseoe Crosby with the intent of forcing a possible confession from the murderer of Spenctr Lee. While in the dark, another murder m committed. The search starts for the guilty party. The suspense of the audience is h?ld until the final curtain. Suspicion alights first on one and then on another of the party. The instrument with which the murder was committed is not to be found. Madam La Grange at her wit's end plans a fake trance. Through her efforts the guilty party is forced to a confession in the final dramatic scene.

It is up to us to make the Sophomore class the best of all. The second year of high school may seem to be the deadest. Freshmen have the thrill of entering, juniors and seniors have the feeling of their superiority over the under classmen, but the Sophomore year is just the aftermath of a violent life of a “Freshie.” We can remedy this state of affairs if we only will. Let us put our shoulders to the wheel and make it plain to all that no one—NO! not even the seniors can better us. Let’s make T. H. S. proud of us. Sure to win. Obeying orders. Proud of our record. Headed for success. Out-ranking others. Multifarious ambitions. Over the rest in grades. Ready to work. Ever for T. 11. S. Seniors to be. To Willis: They call him “Old. Red Top” His hair is like brass. But you’ll notice it shines Near the head of the class. To Catherine: She’s a bear, it is true With a good disposition. In Geometry class, She’s a real proposition.

Witte Everett York Woodrow Wilkins Charles Garnet Dail Philpott' Orville Worthman Charles Buerstetta Freshman School Days When, the freshman leaves the grade school for his first adventure in high school, he feels very important and holds his head a little higher. During the first few days he gets discouraged and somewhat frightened at the ways of the school and runs back to the eighth grade to cry on his teacher’s neck. When he hears the bell ringing he clings a little tighter, cries a little harder; for, oh! how he hates to go back to the horrid, horrid place where he is made fun of and where all eyes are turned upon him, watching for some mistake that is sure to happen. The teacher tries to console him with encouraging words and so he tries to bear it through the days to come. Hfe finds himself a member of an active group, serves on committees, plans class functions and comes to realize that his class is just the “baby brother” of a large family, a youngster who will soon grow into places of responsibility. He finds that even the dignified seniors with their condescending ways were once mere freshmen and so with a heart filled with renewed hope he enters upon his task of building for “T. H. S.” Daylogue Dearest Friends: I am a Senior! My importance is mammoth! My influence is immeasurable! My----Let’s change the subject! Now, as one of the major positions of this noted Senior Class was that of Annual Staff member, I was granted the permission to record the mighty occurrences of the year. Other unimportant offices I had to fill, and consequently I transferred this honorable job to my beloved, freckle-faced, redheaded friend, “Red” Lamb. As a result-i-it is pathetic, friends, but bear the grief with me. Boo! Hoo! A Senior.

Our Coaches The Department of Athletics has been under the leadership of Coaches Dean L. Higgins and George F. Sacks for the past year. They turned out a very good football team last fall, composed of the cleanest cut group of fellows representing Tecumseh for several years. These coaches have bianded into the teams the usual ideals of perfect sportsmanship and fail play, for which Tecumseh has always had a high reputation, and a splendid track squad should he put in the field along with the other schools this spring. Coach Dean L. Higgins received hi- high school training in the State Agricultuial High School, lie received his college education at tin Fniversitv of Nebraska, when1 he 1 (“presented Nebraska three years in tiack and made a very splendid record, but an injury to his knee in his sophomore year kept him from varsity football. During his three years of coaching at Tecumseh, he has placed athletics in a very high rank and is honored very highly. There is no doubt but what Coach Higgins is one of the most oustanding of the athletes and coaches of tin state. Coach George F. Sacks received his high school training at Leavenworth High School, Leavenworth, Kansas. He attended the University of Kansas for two years and a half and the University of Nebraska for one year and a half, getting his Physical Culture training at Kansas. Foot Ball Squad Back Row—M. Bates, Curry, Carter, Brillhart, Coach Higgins, Hervey, Coach Sacks, Murphy, Goosman, Miner. Middle Row—Lamb, Blue, Garris, J. Keim, Spradley, L. Bates. Front Row—Casford, L. Keim, Zook, Heilig, Mathis, Fuller, Story. Letter Men Howard Zook Louis Keim Raymond Casford Wallace Hervey Dwyer Brillhart Bernard Murphy Vernon Heilij? Chris Mathis William Fuller Leland Lamb Lewis Miner Willis Garris Floyd Spradley Charles Story Vernon Curry Review of the Season THE SABETHA GAME The first game of the season found Tecumseh pitted against one of the strongest teams of Kansas in a practice game, in which Sabetha held a weight advantage of twenty-five pounds to the man By smart playing, Tecumseh was the aggressor throughout the first half, playng in Sabetha territory almost the whole period. However, the weight of the Sabetha eleven began to tell in the second half and Tecumseh emerged with the short end of a 25-9 score. THE WYMORE GAME The following Friday Tecumseh invaded Wymore territory and won her first victory of the season 25-0. The whole game was marked by a great deal of fumbling on both sides, and Tecumseh resorted to straight football during the entire period. During the first quarter, the lone score made was a dropkick by Zook, Curry carried the ball over for a touchdown on an off tackle smash in the second quater and Zook made gcod on the try for point. Early in the third quarter, Casford recovered a fumble and converted it into a touchdown, Zook again making the counter. On an end run, Zook broke away for 60 yards and another touchdown a few minutes later and the scoring ceased, Tecumseh playing a defensive game the rest of the contest. THE BEATRICE GAME The next week Tecumseh, greatly handicapped by the absence of several regulars, met the heavy Beatrice team on her own field. Although outweighed about seventeen pounds to the man, Tecumseh held Beatrice to a scoreless first quarter. Beatrice scored a touchdown late in the second quarter and were leading 7-0 at half time. Lack of weight and Captain Zook being forced out of the game, seemed to dishearten our team, and Frahm, Beatrice giant fullback scored four more times before the game ended, giving Beatrice a 33-0 advantage. THE PERU GAME The following week Tecumseh met the Bob-ki’ttens from Peru on her home field, and although beaten 16-10, displayed a very good game of football for they completely outplayed the visitors during the first three periods. Zook scored in the first quarter on a dropkick Peru evened the count in the early part of the second quarter, but Tecumseh again set the pace in the same period when Zook broke away for the first touchdown of the game and made good on the try for point. Peru came back in the third quarter making two touchdowns and kicking one goal. Tecumseh threatened time and again in the last period but to no avail and again came out on the bottom in the matter of points. THE NEBRASKA CITY GAME Tecumseh was decidedly handicapped in the Nebraska City game with her Captain and several other veterans sitting on the sidelines with injuries. Mathis and Spradley made several long runs in the first quarter but no score was made. In the second quarter Tecumseh carried the ball half the length of the field and Curry plunged over for the first touchdown of the game. Casford failed to kick goal and the half ended 6-0. Nebraska City scored in the third and last quarter and kicked one goal after Tecumseh had drawn several long penalties placing the ball on the verge of her goal line. Zook was sent in late in the last quarter, but Tecumseh was unable to secure the ball until the last minute of play and the game ended Nebraska City 13. Tecumseh 6. THE FALLS CITY GAME Falls City came here with the sole idea that they were going home with the long end of a large score, but they were certainly to be disappointed. After Tecumseh had gained possession of the ball in the first quarter, Mathis carried it forty yards on three successive plays and over for the first touchdown before Falls City had even collected herself. The game was featured by the spectacular runs made by Zook and Mathis and the line plunging of Curry. Zook crossed the line four times, Mathis three times, and Curry twice. When the gun had sounded Tecumseh had piled up a total of 57 points leaving our old time rivals nothing. THE PAWNEE CITY GAME The Armistice day game was played on a sodded field in the Lempka pasture, the school field being in no shape to play on. The sod was very slippery and handicapped the completion of a number of feature plays. Early in the first quarter, Fuller intercepted a pass made by Pawnee in her own territory and raced behind perfect interference for about 30 yards and over the goal line for the only touchdown made. Zook made the try for point good and the half ended 7-0. Most of the game was a punting duel between the two respective captains, Zook getting a little the best of it. Zook kicked a beautiful drop kick early in the second half, and after holding the Southeastern Champions scoreless the rest of the game, they were forced to go back home with their first defeat of the season 10-0.i THE AUBURN GAME Tecumseh defeated Auburn 10-0 in the last game of the season, thus finishing the season in a very successful fashion. The first quarter was marked by considerable fumbling on both sides and ended scoreless. In the second quarter Zook kicked a 35 yard drop kick against the wind and a few minutes later broke away on an end run and over the line for the only touchdown made in the game. His try for point was good and the half ended with the score standing Tecumseh 10, Auburn 0. Tecumseh played entirely on the defense throughout the second half, showing great skill in breaking up passes and stopping plays, and no further scoring was done. This game ended the high school football career cf Captain Zook, Story, Lamb, Hervey and Murphy. . ZooV WH-H.

Tecumseh took third in the Group Two competition. Blue covered himself with glory by winning the 440 in fast time. Casford won the 880. Curry took fourth in the 220. Fuller took third and Mathis fourth in the 220 low hurdles. In the 880 yard relay, Tecumseh dropped to second owing to bad baton pass. Brill-hart tied for fourth and third place in high jump. COACH HIGGINS Nebraska’s 1926 Championship Relay Team Early in the season this speedy quartette showed their ability when they won the “Red Long Free Trip to Drake,” by winning the Home Course Relays. Running in very stiff competition they won their preliminary heats in both the half mile and quarter mile relays and finished fourth in the finals of the quarter mile relay. In the half mile finals, they juggled the baton and were thus disqualified. At the Wesleyan meet they finished first, far in advance of Lincoln and on the following day easily won the relays at the Peru Meet and swelled our trophy collection about two hundred per cent. At the State Meet, after competing in other events, they won in their group in the fast time of 1:33.3 within one and three tenths of the world record, making the fastest time at the meet- Thanks to a group of loyal business men in town, the team was sent to Chicago, and entered into the National Interscholastic Meet, where they finished in sixth place, after drawing the eleventh lane and running from scratch. Competition here was keen and Teeumseh finished in sixth place among twenty-eight entries. Girls’ Athletic Association Miss Yont, Coach.

Each year we have had a larger enrollment. When one considers the fact that we have no gymnasium facilities, the number benehtting from this work is large. In the fall we practiced basket ball, looking forward to a tournament between various organized teams. The weather nterfered with our outdoor gymnasium, and we could not carry out our plans. We then played soccer until it turned too cold. Forced inside, we spent our periods in gymnasium work. A number of girls took up hiking. There are some who have hiked over forty-five miles. Martha Mcliougal, Ruth Durst, Helen Langley, Dorothy Curtis, Eleanor Miller, Katherine Beckman, Gertrude Creighton, Berneice Nelson and Zelma Gardner are in this list. Last year one senior, Ellene McClanahan earned her “T..” This year there are five who will probably be granted letters. Those who are eligible are Helen Campbell, Doris Erickson, Zelma Gardner, Evelyn Miller, and Berneice Nelson. In earning points we followed the following schedule: 80 points allowed for attending three fourths basket ball practices. 40 points allowed for attending one half basket ball ball practices. 20 points allowed for being on a winning team. 40 points for attending three fourths soccer practices. 20 points for attending one half soccer practices. 40 points for attending three fourths gymnasium sessions. 20 points for attending one half gymnasium sessions. 5 points for every ten miles hiked. 25 points for playing twenty sets of tennis. 40 points for attending three fourths baseball practices. 20 points for attending one half baseball practices.

Tecumseh was outnumbered only by Omaha, Lincoln, and Beatrice. Girl Reserves Our Slogan: To Face Life Squarely Our club, a branch of the Y. W. C. A. was organized three years ago. The past year has been by far the most successful of our history. Miss Enyeart has proven to be a most capable and interested sponsor. President------ Vice President Treasurer______ Secretary _____ Sponsor _______ OUR OFFICERS __________________________________Evelyn Miller ___________________________________Helen Harris ______________________________Madonna Anderson _________________________________Elizabeth Ward ___________________________________Miss Enyeart OUR PURPOSE To Find and Give the Best. To promote Christian living among the girls, to raise the physical, social, and moral standards of the girls and to serve the community in which we live. Our meetings this year have been full of purpose and worth while. We held programs on India, Japan, and China. Our mothers were entertained at a Colonial Tea. On St. Patrick’s Day we had a dinner, given by the groups who lost in the Lake Okoboji Contest. The four groups of girls worked to earn money for the Okoboji Fund. Helen Harris, president-elect for next year, and Geraldine Russell will attend one of the ten day training periods there.
