TUinTrfStfmmmni TlTTTTTrafrTTTTTf r r 'CR.UX-HI-SKAN A History of the Crooksville Public Schools ON FI of the most difficult tasks in the preparation of the Crux-Hi-Skan is that of compiling the annals of the Public Schools. Many of the older residents of the town have been consulted, but the data that we have been able to secure is very uncertain. As nearly as we can find out. the first school house stood on the present site of the FlastSchool Building. It was a very crude structure, having only one room with three windows and a door We have been unable to ascertain the date of its erection, but know that it was not very many years until it would not accommodate the children of the rapidly growing metropolis. When this building became too small room was provided by erecting a six-room building in the east and a four room in the west. But the metropolis continued to grow and soon these two buildings with their ten rooms were too small to house the numerous “kiddies” and rooms were rented at various places in the town and more teachers employed to take care of the pupils. The buildings that now existed were frame buildings and were veritable fire-traps. In 1906 there were erected two large brick buildings on the sites of the frame buildings and the frame buildings were sold for store rooms. These two buildings are now in use, one on the east side and one in the west. The building on the east side has eight rooms, while the one on the west has six rooms. About this time the High School began to grow and in 1909 it was necessary to rent three rooms in the Cusick block to accommodate the High School pupils. And still Crooksville continued to grow, increasing from about 800 inhabitants in 1900 to 3200 in 1910. The city had quadrupled in population in ten years, and now the Board was again compelled to rent rooms in various parts of the town. In 1910 a four room brick building was erected in the northern part of town and is now known as the North Building. And still the city continued to grow and in 1913 we had a population of 3784. The rooms are now

CRUX-HI-SKAN CROOKSVILLE HIGH SCHOOL LITERARY SOCIETY in the year of 1906 was divided in two societies, each society taking the name of some great literary man, whose name has gone down on the pages of history. The name of these societies are the Emersonian ” and the “ HawthorneAll who have studied literature or have any knowledge of literaturef know of the great work of Hawthorne, of the fine lessons his works contain, his beautiful descriptions and interesting novels with their quaint and old characters, and the never dying interest that one has for them. And no matter how many times they are read they contain a new lesson, that tends to lead our lives to higher thoughts and purposes. The aim of the Hawthorne society of C. H. S. has been to give the hearers of the program a clearer knowledge of literary work, that can be done only by a good society. It has tried to entertain the hearers with work that contains something that is worthy of hearing, so the hearers mind would be so concentrated to the work of the program that they have no time to think of other ways of entertainment, but only wish when the program is over that it had just begun. The Hawthorne society needs no praise, its works have spoken loader than the words of others. The work of the society will not soon be forgotten but will live on in the years to come and live long in the hearts of the members of “Dear Old C. H. S.
