hat ill The Next Century Bring? In this Bicentennial year of our country, Crawfordsville High School celebrated the birth of our nation, the graduation of its 100th senior class, the Diamond Anniversary of Sunshine Society, and the publication of the 75th yearbook, fomretly entitled The Uro- pina. Indiana was admitted to the Union in 1816 as the 19th state. Since the early days of its founding, Indiana has been known for its agricultural products and quarries of lime- stone. Its steel mills and manufacturing plants add to its prosperity. Indiana is famous for the Memorial Day Race held in Indianap- olis every year. It is the birthplace of several prominent authors, Meredith Nicholson, James Whitcomb Riley, and Lew Wallace. Crawfordsville authors are Will H. Hays, Frances Rickett, Owen Crecelius, and Bina Sarver. In 1813 Maior Ambrose Whidoclt, Qptain W. Dunn, and Lieutenant Henry Ristine l-Skins have gone from long to short, but now we are beginning in go bark to the midi-lengths. :,,ot.,..,,v'g 5 . s 4 .,. 3 5 1 mf' agreed that the land bordering Sugar Creek would be a good site for a settlement. The town was named Crawfordsville because Maior Whitlock wished to honor Secretary of Treasury William H. Crawford. In 1822 Montgomery County was created. Business and land sales increased tremen- dously. A log iail was built at a cost of S250 and a courthouse cost 8295. Land was selling at the govemment price of 31.25 per acre. A church was established by the Baptists and soon Presbyterians and Methodists were organized. Wabash College opened its doors in 1833 due to the efforts of the local Presbyterian ministers and some laymcn. It brought cul- ture and intellectual growth to the city, as well as economic benefits. Preceding the Civil War, public schools were slowly expanding and high school courses were taught in private academies and seminaries. Spelling was required in all grades. After the Civil War, seminaries were gradually phased out. Ctawfordsville estab- lished its first public high school in 1873 or 1874. There were three members in the first graduating class. The superintendent was H. S, Kritz. Marguerite Dice, a 1901 CHS graduate, was interested in the work of the lnrema- tional Sunshine Societyg and under the guid- ance oi Miss Anna Willson, principal of the high school, she organized the first Sunshine Society in Indiana. The Utopian, the first yearbook at CHS, was published in 1902. The students felt a need for a publication that would show their abilities and possibilities. Pupils in the class of 1902 wished to see their efforts continued in the production of a yearbook. As long as man exists, there will be the unknown. Because of this, we ask-what will the next century bring?
