THE TUSCOLIAN 17 During all of our Senior year, we have been working to make this issue the best yet,—and the best to come. Mr. Hiers, one of our advisors, always helped us over the knotty questions which arose from time to time concerning the book. We supported all athletics on the field or floor as well as from the sidelines. We, also, as Seniors, had the honor of opening the new auditorium, with the presentation of our class play, “Jane Ann.” Miss Pringle, our other advisor and helper, directed this play most successfully. We have managed to keep up our famous pep always during our four years of high school life which ends for us on graduation day. We feel that we owe our success in a large measure to our advisors, Mr. Hiers and Miss Pringle, to whom we have dedicated this book. As a class, we have gone to school in the old T. H. S. building, the court house, and finally in the very modern new building just finished. We feel proud to think that we are the first to leave its doors as Alumni of T. C. H. S. —R. G., ’23.
