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.

CRUX-HI-SKAN TTN the fall of the year of 1906 the number of pupils in the High School Literary Society be-il come so large that it was deemed necessary to divide it into two societies. Accordingly two of the pupils, Earl Crooks and Harry Bennett, were chosen to divide the society into two parts and to these two different societies thus formed were given the names, Emersonian and Hawthorne. Each of these societies has its constitution and elects its own officers. The members of these societies are required to perform at least once each school month. These performances consist of readings, essays, orations, music, both instrumental and vocal; debates and occasionally a school paper. Of these two societies, we speak only for the Emersonian. There is no doubt but that the work of the Emersonian Literary Society is of a high class and second to none in the Crooksville High School. The work of this society is such that the pupils cannot help, but be better speakers, and the practice they get in parliamentary law will be useful to them through all their future lives. Speaking of the future of the Emersonian Society, we must say that it has a bright outlook and that as to its firmness of foundation it is as solid as the rock of Gibraltar.”
