The Senior Class of 192 of Tekonsha High School published an Annual which they called The Pottawam . This was the only Annual published by Tekonsha High School Seniors until 1954 when the Senior Class of that year published The Echo . In 1935, the Annual was called The Boomerang . We, the Seniors of 1956 have decided to call our Annual the second edition 01 The Pottawam and hope this name will be used for the annuals published in Tekonsha High School in the future. The Pottawattamees were a tribe of Indians living in end around where Tekonsha now stands. Their chief wa3 Te- kon-qua-sha for whom Tekonsha was named. ThiS' tribe wan very large and well known. It and three other tribes occupied the Northwest Territory. Just before Te-kon-qua-sha died he called the members of the tribe together upon the banks of the St. Joseph river and told them how once the Indians v ere as strong as the oaks and as numerous as the leaves, but now the palefaces were upon them and they would, as other tribes had done, meet their fate. The St Joseph still follows the same course, the sane sun-hhines now as shone then, but no wigwams are seen. The members have long since passed to thfeir Happy Hunting Grounds .
