Introductory Note -----(1-----------: FEELING that perhaps the people of Crooksville as a rule do not fully appreciate the Crooksville High School, we, the pupils of this same institution, take this means of presenting some fads to the public. As pupils of the C. H. S.. we are greatly attached to our high school and feel that there is no other that is so good. €fl To the Alumni, we would say that we know that you cherish the good old days that you spent in old C. H. S. and that you will appreciate this feeble effort of ours. ] To the parents, we have often told you of the merry limes that we have spent at high school, we have told you of certain pupils, we have spoken of hard lessons, of irritable teachers, and many other facts that tend to make high school life a bug-bear or a pleasure; but now, we take this means of presenting the matter to you in a more concrete form. We hope that you may look over the pages of the CRUX-Hl-SKAN and derive much profit as well as pleasure therefrom. Crux-Hi-Skan is a short way of saying. Crooksville I figh School Annual. We hope to make the publication an annual and next year we hope to have many new and interesting things to tell you.

Freshman Class Hisfto y the Freshman Class, being honorably promoted from the eighth grade but a few months MS ago, being yet in our infancy as High School students have as yet a very brief history. Much of the experience of the Freshman Class is of a most galling type. We are looked upon by the classes above us as being of very little significance. If we say anything expressing our rights or ability we are promptly reminded that Freshies are to be seen but not heard. If we produce anything in our line of school work that merits applause or approval, it is looked upon by the classes above us, with the utmost jealousy. And even our teachers must refer to it in guarded terms of expression. Otherwise they incur the displeasure of those who continually call us Freshies. Even though we consider that those same classes have passed through a similar experience, yet that makes our embarrassment none the less severe. The Fieshman experiences are more burdensome than that of other classes, because everything is new to them. However, we wish to state, that through the assistance of our kind and loyal teachers, and our own untiring efforts we have accomplished much in this brief period. As our records prove, we have mastered all branches as required of us. The result of our work as shown by our record is not greater nor of more importance to us than are the incentives to the advancement of our education, the development of our intellectual powers, and the building of moral character in the years that are to come. And so it is our determination, that when we become Seniors in the year 1917, that we will be no less qualified to meet the demands of our teachers and the duties of life in the coming years, than are the members of our present Senior class.
