The variety of courses oiferedg the outside activities in public speaking, music and athletics all made the Tomahawk High School a desirable institution of learning. Tomahawk High School-1912 The Gold Book, the second publication from the new high school, was a great improvement over the 1910 volume. Under the able supervision of Superintendent L. C.
