May it preserve for all time the remembrance of happy days, pleasant friendships and golden hours that have been a part of this school life. jxj THE JUMRHR? s Jlu Urmnriam The sudden removal of such a life from our midst leaves a vacancy and a shadow that is deeply felt by all the members and friends of this class. We will never forget the kindly ways of ELIZABETH—her loyalty to her friends and school— the willingness with which she assumed each responsibility and ever gave her best.

Page Nine X THE JUMRHRx VICTORY 50NG “THE BLACK AND GOLD” 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; 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. THE BOOSTER SONG Oh! Everybody’s boosting for Tecumseh For Tecumseh, Yes Tecumseh! Oh! Everybody’s boosting for Tecumseh We’ll tell the whole world how! Oh! Everybody’s boosting for Tecumseh, For Tecumseh, Yes Tecumseh! There’s not a member roosting Everybody’s boosting! FOR Tecumseh now! TECUMSEH HIGH I’ll say it’s not what’s the matter with my Tecumseh High It’s what’s the matter with me! If things go slow, While I lay low, There’s no one else to blame! So then it’s on and up Tecumseh! Our watchword e’er will be! It’s not what’s the matter with my Tecumseh High It’s what’s the matter with me! Page Ten Page Eleven THE mmHR 4l BERTHA ENYEART, A. B. Principal Lincoln, Nebr. Uni. of Nebr. Uni. of Cal. Uni of Col.

J. P age Twenty-Two ■x THE TQMRHRV K Class History I enter a large library and making my way to the shelves loaded with book of travel, I take one volume from among the many and note the title: “The Class of 1928—Its Journey Through the Land of Education.” As I glance at the introduction, I find that six people listed there are about to start a trip through thirteen countries. They are: Frances Artz, Elizabeth Watteyne, Anthony Artz, Harold Hill, Mervin Kuhlman, and Dwyer Brill-hart. Miss Gamble gave them their start on the journey. In their second land where Mabel Campbell was the queen, Janet Rowand, Raymond Casford. Dean Philpott and Floyd Spradley were added. The border line into the adjoining country was crossed in 1918 and there they found Princess Edith Stewart. They met here Mary Hervey, Elizabeth Sappenfield and Thomas Stephens. Marian Townsend welcomed them into the next region, where Mervin Kuhlman strayed from the party and was lost for several years. In 1920 they traversed the next country where Miss Bush was Czarine. They later toured Queen Mayme Miller’s realm. The course was rough and hilly and Frances Artz was lost. In the land of “Dohner” during 1922, another member of the party strayed away, Anthony Artz. Jennie McAuliffe joined them for the rest of the journey. They were very glad to be welcomed into the neighboring country by Czarine Bush. She had travelled upward to meet them again. Esther Jobst joined the group there. As they entered the next land. Lady Sandusky proved to be a most efficient guide and with her help they surmounted the hills that separated them from the great High School region. In 1925 a large number was added. Emma Albers, Gertude Souders, Wilma Jacka, Edith Muncy, Alice Schmiegelow, Lucille McClanahan, Madge Bates. Helen Harris, John Turner, Milton Bates, Hilda Jochim all came in. Mervin Kuhlman, Frances Artz and Anthony Artz again travelled with the class under Miss Enyeart. 1926 found them under Miss Turner. Elaine Oliphant became a fellow traveler. In 1927 Charles Morrissey. Pauline Curtis, Edith Searl, and Elizabeth Ward cast their lot with the group and were led by Phyllis Walters and Betty Gift. The journey was almost ended. Margaret Gilmore and G. B. Ray joined making a total of thirty-five. King Halsted was the guide. The close of the journey found them dined and entertained and in their possession a diploma—the reward for their perseverance along the hard road. I close the book. The history is a memory and our hope is that those who may explore these lands hereafter will find as much enjoyment as the Class of 1928. —E. W. Page Twenty-three x.

The bubble bursts when the son, Robert Riggs who is just home from college and doesn’t know that a “B” is wider than an A”, is appointed. His hopes are raised when his uncle Ira, rich from the oil fields, comes forward with the news that Andy is to fall heir to his money. Now everyone of course, is willing and anxious to grant Andy credit. We find him buying evening clothes, jewelry and a car. He imagines himself deeply in love with June Allen. When at the Allen party, Uncle Ira, very much disgusted at the display of extravagance on the part of Andy, proceeds to disinherit him, Mrs. Allen orders June to return all the jewelry and demands that Andy leave the house. The third act sees Andy back in the store at work as a clerk. Mr. Hanner-ton informs him that his patent arch supporter has been accepted and his royalties will make him a wealthy man. Uncle Ira promptly pronounces Andy a “Whittaker all over.” The bank is about to take the store away from Mr. Riggs due to his failure to meet a certain note. Andy redeems this and takes over the store, with it Jerry, the faithful cashier, after he convinces her that “the little red school house did sit on a hill.” Cast of Characters Jerry Dean Evangeline Gay Horace Riggs Andy Whittaker Mrs. Dwight Allen June Allen Dr. Giles Faraday P.

Our Coaches Coach Dean Higgins has charge of the athletics in Tecumseh High School and is assisted by Coach George Sacks. Their influence with their teams has brought out the highest type of sportsmanship and citizenship. Their desire has been to carry this over into the student body. The undefeated football team and the track team that represents Tecumseh this spring show the results of this training. Mr. Higgins received his high school training at the State Agricultural High School. His college training was at Nebraska University. He made an enviable track record in varsity, representing Nebraska at every meet during his three years. Mr. Sacks received his training at Leavenworth High School, Kansas University, Emporia State Teachers’ College and Nebraska University. He has proven a worthy assistant to Mr. Higgins in football and track. Page Thirty-four X THE TEMHFMK x Cj. cA. qA.
