As you wander back through its pages, it is our hope that you find here happy thoughts, forgotten scenes, and lost impressions which will give you the thrill of “experiences, oft repeated. ’ « mythology, the story is told that the Phoenix immolates itself in sacrificial fire; and from the ashes arises its young, giving evidence of that renewed energy and spirit which is generated through sacrifice. Around the old stone school-house clustered many memories and fond associations. But the time came when it was necessary for the old structure to make way for the new. A building which adequately reflects the generation’s progress in methods of education appears in its place. To that spirit of interest in the training of future citizens and devotion to progress which has characterized this community in making its sacrifice, we, the Class of 1931, respectfully dedicate this year book.

This is an individual matter, the name being chosen without conference. A faculty committee acts upon the names thus suggested. This year the distinction falls upon two seniors well deserving the honor. Throughout their high school days both have been real students; have taken active part in the several extra-curricular fields; have not overlooked those little traits of conduct which make for friendship and respect; have ever shown those varied qualities which in the eyes of the student body and faculty, stamp them with the badge of true worth.

As we look out over an extensive valley, luxuriant in the verdant garments of emerging spring, we see a long train of covered wagons drawn by oxen, lean from an arduous journey, rapidly approaching the haven of wanderers—the land of the Seniors. Let us join the train and learn the story of voyagers to a far-famed country, the country of Education. With a strong voice the chronicler chants to us of the noble Urge that impelled the hardy band to leave the country of Indolence and strike out on a venture as old as is civilization itself. We are told how the original group, of which Dorothy Parker, Dorothy Pilniore, Dorothy Wolfert, Dail Philpott, and Dorothy Keim were members, ventured forth under the leadership of Miss Peterson. How the band grew as they travelled from one country to another under the changing leadership of Misses Campbell, Stewart, Eastman, Bock, Miller, Davey, Bush and Sandusky. How, one day, a great divide was crossed that brought the intrepid band to a long, level expanse they learned to be the realm of High School. New leaders were selected, and Misses Heuerman, Boten, and Enyeart served faithfully and well. As the story develops, we are inspired by the thrilling encounters of the train with Indians known as the tribe of Examination. Many fell under the terrific blows of the Red Pencil, while others survived only by the most persistent effort. Many there were, to be sure, who came through unscathed and with many scalps to their credit—but alas for those who were left behind. The journey through the land of Freshman was faintly recalled, as though they had fought through a haze of murky thoughts and somber impressions. But they had emerged at last onto the plateau of Sophomore and there, although a bit tedious at times, their travel became slightly easier. The land of Junior was full of pleasant memories, interesting places visited, noble deeds performed. Now, as they neared the divide of Graduation, hearts were beginning to beat a little faster, heavy sighs showed what reluctance dwelt within the minds of those soon to be separated. Night has settled, deepened and flown, and now—behold, a new day breaks in auric splendor as the last course of the journey beckons us toward our goal. The vista of future accomplishments rises before us. Page 12 CLASS WILL We, the Senior Class of nineteen hundred and thirty-one, professing ourselves to be of sound mind and disposing memory, hereby publish and declare this to be our last will and testament: First, to Mr. Halsted we express our sincere appreciation of his help through our four years of school. To Miss Enyeart and the rest of the faculty, our respect and admiration To the typewriting students we leave a new system of ventilation to partially do away with the hazy atmosphere “blue with curses.” To the debate team, some of our intelligence—they need something. To Mr. Richards, our knowledge on child care. To John Gould, we leave Tom Aitken's place as a basketball star. To Bob Morrissey, White’s athletic ability. To Pinkie, Dorothy June’s liking for the latest. To Irene Hahn, John Ward’s typewriter. To Almeta Ernst, we leave Paula’s studious habits. To Percy, Dorothy Keim's typing ability. To Evelyn Brillhart, Dorothy Parker’s formula for growing tall. To Kenneth Hamel, Merl’s ability to toot the horn. To Ruth Keim we leave Stella Seward’s sweet sunny disposition. To Katherine Fitzsimmons, Lawrence’s ability at bluffing. To Buck, Jewell’s dancing ability. To Eithel Tucker, Virginia Westwood’s argumentative ability. To Francis Miller, Don Artz’s dramatic ability. To Bernice Packwood we leave a piece of candy so that she may retain her sweetness. To Miriam Butler, Bernard Bacon’s good humor. In witness thereof we, the class set our hands and seal: Senior Class of “31”. : -... ---------------- Page 13 - e- gr ml—c THE JUNIOR CLASS President...........Eithel Tucker Vice President Imogene McFerrin Secretary............Oren Hendrix Student Council ...Josephine Olsen Alvin Story Sponsor..........Miss Carmen Muir Viola Baily Keith Bates Laura Baum Lorine Bentzinger Eunice Bergman Gretchen Boatman Evelyn Brillhart Lillian Brunner Miriam Butler Wesley Collins Doris Doolittle Almeta Ernst James Evans Katherine Fitzsimmons CLASS MEMBERS Kathleen Gould Irene Hahn Oren Hendrix Margaret Hunter Keith Jones Clair Kleine Aleitha Mandery Lucille Mandery Doris Mathis Don McCoy Imogene McFerrin Francis Miller Leona Miller Bernice Morrissey James Morrissey Josephine Olsen Virginia Pilmore Martha Ramsey lone Riley Leonard Rosakrans Miriam Russell Mary Spradley Julia Stephens Alvin Story Maurine Thompson Eithel Tucker Walter Watkins -IIMir'iril )........

Starting in with very little material to work with he has built up a reputation in the short period that is much feared by the rest of the conference teams. Two of the teams Coach Higgins turned out were undefeated, and his mark in the southeast championship has always been high. He has also turned out some very favorable track teams with one Drake squad bringing home the honors. He received his training while in school from Schulte of Nebraska University. Since that time he has taken extensive training under Hob Zuppke of Illinois, Allen of Kansas, Spear of Minnesota and Bible of Nebraska.

The Indians took their first game of the season easily enough from the Wilbur eleven, but did not have such good luck when they met the veteran Beatrice crew. Captain White received a broken nose in this game. However, this only seemed to instill more fire into the team. We next journeyed over to Nebraska City, and there met with ill luck condensed. Mathis received a broken nose, Peek got the ligaments torn loose in his hip, and Story went “bye bye” after a severe crack on the head. This hard fought game ended with a neutral score. We next met our old rival, Falls City, and were able, after much hard-won ground, to deal out a touchdown by Story. We went into the next game with Sterling under the handicap of playing without the services of Story, Kleine, and Mathis, but were able to gain a rather easy victory of 25 to 6. Page 19 In the struggle with Peru the second stringers played nearly the whole game for Tecumseli and came through with the score, 56 to 0, in the Indians favor. The Bobkittens were in a somewhat run-down condition after a trip to Omaha the week previous. The Plattsmouth Game was a hard-fought battle played on what seemed to be a concrete field. Tecumseh was not able to score but was able to keep their opponents on the right side of the chalk line. The Auburn Game was entered with a great deal of feeling on both sides and Tecumseh held the edge 13 to 12 until in the last minute of play when Auburn’s illustrious end intercepted a pass which resulted in a touchdown for Auburn. Our chances of the Southeastern Championship now spent, it seemed that we had nothing left to fight for. But the old Tecumseh spirit remained predominant and we went into the last game on Thanksgiving Day with lots of spirit and held Pawnee’s strong team to a 6 to 0 score. Story, Tecumseh scoring ace, was troubled all season with a back that persisted in getting all cramped up on the shortest notice. Captain White sustained a broken nose throughout the season. White’s leadership and splendid defensive game lead this team to put forth their best in many a crisis. The season, though not a winner, can be considered successful. “Chuck” “Tuggle” “Melvin” “Brick” “Merl” ‘Hig” Mooney Russell Wright McCoy Peek “Babe” “Jaudy” “Dutch” “Johnny” Story Mathis Oellrich Johnson Page 20 1p« .j yirvt 1 e11 ag gi Tecumseh was able to place the following men on the All-Southeastern Team, picked by Falls City Journal. The selections were as follows: Merl Peek, End; Clyde White, Tackle; Alvin Story, Fullback. RESERVE GAMES The Reserves played two games and managed to come through on top each time due mainly to the efficient coaching of Joel Hull.

Although this was the first year for basketball and the material was green, Coach Hull's team showed up remarkably well in competition with neighboring schools. Mr. Hull obtained his experience and schooling at Wesleyan University and since then has taken coaching under Spear of Minnesota and Bible, Black and Schulte, all of Nebraska. Basketball, being a new sport in the Tecumseh High School, gained very little prestige during its infant year However, the feeling is entertained that a great deal has been accomplished in this line by Coach Hull. The percentage of games won was slightly below the 50% mark, but the team worked under the handicap of having no suitable place for practice. Tom Aitken was elected honorary Captain at the close of the season by a vote of the letter men. The following men made and were awarded their letter: Aitken, Story, White, Oellrich, Hendrix, Floerke, Wright, and Gould.

SLOGAN To face life squarely. THE YEAR The Club has done some splendid work this year. At the beginning of the year the Program committee made out a program for the year, carrying out as their theme, an airplane flight. The big project of the year was the Festival of the Nations. The Club was divided into five groups, each carrying out the customs, and manners of their particular country. Other important meetings were the Mother’s Night, and the annual Banquet. Nineteen girls represented the dub at the South-eastern Nebraska Girl’s Reserves Conference at Lincoln on February 27 and 28. Page 30 HI-Y OFFICERS President....................................Merl Peek Vice President......................................Clyde White Secretary.................................Holland Gates Treasurer.................................Willard Russell Sponsors....................Prof. Halsted, Dean Higgins PURPOSE To create, maintain and extend throughout the school and community high standards of Christian character. THE YEAR The club which has been real beneficial to the boys, has won a prominent place in the activities of T. H. S. They have had several outstanding meetings; one of which featured two University foreign students, a Russian, and a Filipino. They told about their home countries. The Burchard, and Burr High School boys were guests at this meeting. Another meeting of importance was the Mothers' Night held on February 11, with eighty present. The boys held a minstrel at the High School on March 20, with a large attendance. The boys have taken an active part in Hi-Y work in this section of the state. An installation team, composed of Mr. Higgins, Merl Peek, Clyde White, Holland Gates, and Donald Artz have installed the Auburn, Pawnee City, and Humboldt clubs. ........—‘ Page 31 Best Wishes Of FIRST STATE BANK Tecumseh, Nebraska Al.
