We wish to thank him and show our appreciation of his guidance and tireless efforts in behalf of our Class and Tecumseh High School. Page Four jo. A h . jflai n _ „ 19 the Tomahawk 29 LLOYD D. HALSTED Page Five FOREWORD 'T'rPHE curtain falls on the last scenes of our school life and we, the Class of Nineteen Hundred Twenty-Nine are ready to leave the stage. We hope as you turn the leaves of this Tomahawk it will again unfold to you the scenes of this drama; scenes that have made our hours golden and our friendships priceless. Page Six 19 the Tomahawk 29 THAT OLD T. H. S. SPIRIT time ago, a well-known educator happened to be on the sidelines at one of the most bitterly contested inter-collegiate football games the country has ever seen. The monster stadium was packed—the game was nearing its close—and neither team had scored. Excitement reached fever heat—the breathless multitude clenched their seats with nervous fingers—when suddenly, from the mass of tangled arms and legs in the center of the field, there burst one lone figure, which, turning, weaving, dodging, finally fell across the goal line as the final gun sounded. From one side of the stadium came a vast roar; from the other—silence. Slowly the teams left the field. The captain of the winning team approached the other captain to congratulate him on the fine playing that his men had done. The latter shook hands half-heartedly, and grumbling, walked away. He teas a poor loser. Fellows, whatever we do, wherever we go, whatever we are in life, let’s not be poor losers! Remember that to be a poor loser is the mark of failure. Just keep that old T. H. S. spirit as your guide through life, and have as your motto— “Magnanimous in victory, gracious in defeat, and the other fellow first!” Page Seven 19 the Tomahawk 29 MRS.

The next morning. rSmilin' Through Kathleen Dungannon is in love with Kenneth Wayne, but her ageing and stubborn uncle, John Carteret, having taken an oath that no one of his line shall ever wed a Wayne, forbids their marriage. Pressed for an explanation of his seemingly unreasonable prejudice, he begins the story of something that happened fifty years before. There is a flash back to the period in which Carteret and one Jeremiah Wayne were in love with Moonyeen Clare. She chose Carteret, and Wayne becoming wildly jealous forced his way into the heme the night of the wedding and. shooting at Carterest, accidentally killed Moonyeen as she jumped in front of her lover. Remembering this. Carteret continues Arm opposition to the modern romance until the spirits of Moonyeen Clare and Sarah Wayne, mother of Kenneth, get a message across from the other world, softening his stubborn heart.

The land necessary for the factory is owned by his enemy, Abner Ketcham, who refuses to sell it, and plans to convert it into a cemetery. Abner’s nephew, Benny, a “super-salesman,” undertakes to dispose of the cemetery lots by high powered salesmanship and then relaxes from his labors by playing the trombone. John secretly plans to buy up all the lots. A rumor gets abroad that he has suddenly lost his fortune in a Wall Street crash. Having fallen in love with a girl, who insists on marrying a poor man, he allows the rumor to go uncorrected. To make his supposed poverty convincing, he takes the position of clerk at the hotel. Complications begin to arise, multiplied by Uncle Abner, the hotel guests and Benny’s trombone. At the right time, however, John rises above his difficulties, puts his house in order, marries his girl and buys Uncle Abner’s cemetery on his own terms. The play ends gloriously for everybody.

THE BEATRICE GAME This game was played on the Tecumseh Field. Tecumseh was determined to break the “jinx,” and they did to the extent of 25-0. The feature of the game came at the opening of the second half, when Fuller returned a kick-off seventy yards to a touchdown. THE PLATTSMOUTH GAME The Tecumseh Warriors journeyed to Plattsmouth to play their first conference game. The Platters proved to be a husky, fighting team, but the local braves were too much for them. The final score was 13-0. Page Forth-Four 19 THE TOMAHAWK 29 The Coaches DEAN L. HIGGINS Tecumseh is indeed fortunate to have her athletic department under the splendid leadership of Dean L. Higgias. “Hig” has put Tecumseh on the map in both track and football. He has to his credit two consecutive S. E. Nebraska Championship teams. He has sent two relay teams to Drake, and his teams in all lines have received state wide notoriety. Coach Schulte rates Mr. Higgins among the best coaches in the state. Mr. Higgins received his training at the University of Nebraska, under Coach Schulte. He holds the honor of having represented Nebraska in every track meet held while he was in school. The school and the fans of the community are very glad that Mr. Higgins will lead us another year. We can predict another successful season for Tecumseh High. GEORGE F. SACKS Mr. Sacks has proven himself an able assistant to Mr. Higgins throughout the past year. He was in charge of the reserve squad and handled his work in good shape. Coach Sacks received his training at the University of Kansas, taking a two year Physical Training course in that institution. He will be greatly missed next year.

Page Forty-Seven 19 THE TOMAHAWK 29 THE AUBURN GAME The Auburn game was played on a muddy field. The weather was damp and cold, making playing very difficult.

Paqe Forty-Nine Tecumseh’s Drake Squad Hill Blue Brillhart Mathis Casford Coach Higgins In 1928 Tecumseh won the Drake Relay Trip, awarded annually by “Red” Long of the College Book Store in Lincoln, to the team which reports the best time in two relays. In Nebraska, Tecumseh had the honor of placing first in the mile and first in the half mile of the Class A division of high schools. In the Drake Relays, Tecumseh has the distinction of being the only Nebraska High School team to place in the various races. Tecumseh won the trophy for the first place in the mile and also the challenge cup presented by the Lions’ Club of Des Moines. This cup is to be returned at the close of the year. The Drake Relays rank at the top in the list of country wide races. That a town the size of Tecumseh can boast of the only winning team to come from Nebraska, is a signal honor. We are glad to present this team to our readers and to render them and their coach high honors. Page Fifty The 1929 Track Season The Tecumscli Track Team under the direction of Coaches Higgins and Sacks ?nd Captain Morrissey have had a successful season. Tccumseh has no cinder track and the local weather conditions this spring have proved to be a serious handicap. Fuller, Morrissey, Mathis and Goosman were the only veterans back this year. THE WESLEYAN MEET A twelve man team was entered in the Wesleyan meet. Capt. Morrissey took first in the high hurdles. A relay team, composed of Fuller. Ernst, Rowand and Gccsman placed second in the mile relay. Tccumseh took fourth in the 440 relay, the team being composed of Story, Little, Morrissey and Mathis. Competition was keen.

Fuller lowered his former record: Cccsman placed third in the half mile; Little third in the 440; Mathis second in the broad jump and fourth in the discus; Capt.

Page Fifty-One ntimwi n__.____ 19 THE TOMAHAWK 29 C iris’ Athletics For the past five years Girls’ Athletics have been organized in Tecumseh High School under the leadership of Miss Yont. The membership for this year is forty-nine members and because of such a large number it was necessary to make two divisions out of the group. In the fall the girls took up hiking and due to the fact that the basket ball court was under construction very little work in basketball was taken up. During the winter months the girls indulged in gymnasium work. In the spring baseball, tennis, and soccer will be the main sport features.

MUNCY COMPANY Manufacturers and Dealers in Poultry Insecticides Wholesale and Retail Commercial Hatchery and Produce Station Tecumseh, Nebraska Page Eighty-One 19 THE TOMAHAWK 29 4 3 4 4 EVERY WELL EQUIPPED RAILROAD has a systematic network of signals for the purpose of directing its traffic. Have you ever tried to visualize the directing of the movement of the train service on a great railroad? Hundreds of trains loaded to capacity with humanity or merchandise speed swiftly onward in performance of their directed duty. Unseen—hidden away from human observation—far removed from the thoughts of those concerned, is the directing head—the master of train movements, guardian of the traveler’s destiny— the train dispatcher—and he, with his signals, is all that stands between you and disaster. Young men and young women about to enter the lanes of life pursuits should GIVE HEAD TO LIFE SIGNALS AHEAD observing carefully the varying lights whether they be white, indicating a clear track, or red with all the perils ensuing. There is a master mind at the switchboard—a dispatcher, who rarely fails—a directing influence which will guide you over all crossings and in the most congested traffic. That dispatcher is CONSCIENCE sometimes recognized as Honesty, sometimes as Fairness, sometimes as Justice, sometimes by other names. If you will always remember to BE SQUARE—BE HONEST—BE WHAT YOUR CONSCIENCE SAYS TO BE you need have no fear of running the signals. Add to this energy, ambition, humility, and a willingness to serve and you will rarely fail. FIND YOUR LANE IN LIFE then settle down to a hard, clean race. Others will be competing but if you will watch the signals and look to your guide the race is yours.
