Crooksville High School - Crux Hi Skan Yearbook (Crooksville, OH)

Text from Pages 1 - 86 of the 1921 volume:

Synopsis HE school year of ’20-21 has indeed been a banner one in the history of Crux Hi. The unbounded interest taken in every phase of high school life by members of C. H. S., is indicated by events chronicled in this year book. The book itself is an indication of activity, since it appears after a lull of seven years in C. H. S. journalism. We are recording the kind of events found in Volume I and trust that our successors will strive to go above our present aim and make Volume III still a greater keepsake.

BUTT Science FACULTY'—“ It is tetter to hear the Rebukes of the Wise than for a Man to Listen to the Song of Fools ” History of the Crooksville Schools T is impossible to write a history of the Crooksville schools and tell in detail of their growth. Their growth has been so rapid that many desperate situations have arisen and been met with, each in its own particular way. Great credit must be given to our former superintendents—M. G. Calhoon, G. L. Brown and the late G. W. DeLong, for meeting and coping successfully with these situations. To the best of our knowledge, the first school building in Crooksville was a small one-room affair, standing on the present site of the East School Building. It was a very crude structure, having but three windows and a door. In a very short time it was outgrown by the influx of youngsters in our town and gave way to two frame buildings, one with six rooms, standing where the present East School now stands, and the other a four-room building, located on the west hill. These two buildings were crowded from year unto year until the sides fairly cracked, and in 1906 they were sold as store rooms and replaced by the present buildings at the East and West. In 1909 the present North Building was erected and still we continued to grow. Our population of 800 in 1900 quadrupled itself in ten years and in 1913 we had a population of 3784. Our High School was crowded out of the East building in 1909 where it remained until the North building was erected. It was then transferred to the West Building, but in 1914 conditions became such that the present High School Building became a necessity and in 1915 we moved into our present quarters. In 1915 departmental teaching was introduced into the elementary schools and the work of the 7th and 8th grades was so co-ordinated through the Manual Arts and Domestic Science with the high school as to form a junior high school. This allowed for special teachers to be introduced where necessary, until at the present time we have a drawing teacher, teacher of physical education, teacher of penmanship, music teacher, commercial teacher in addition to all the other teachers who are specialists in their line. We have 27 teachers all told, twenty in the elementary grades and seven in the high school. From 1898 to the present time we have had but 4 superintendents— M. G. Calhoon......................1898-1901 G. L. Brown....................... 1901-1903 G. W. DeLong.......................1903-1905 M. G. Calhoon......................1905-1912 E. D. Bates........................1912—present time. Among our high sehoo1 principals we can recall W. J. Bankes, Dean of the Teachers College. Ak on University; E. H. Brown, father of our nresent principal, superintendent of schools at Upper Sandusky; G. W. DeLong, deceased, who was a well known school man in Ohio, his last position being as district superintendent in Muskingum county; F. H. De Wolfe, now superintendent of schools at Glenford. Ohio; Don. Pyers who went from here to the superintendence at Sugar Grove, and Miss Agnes Atkinson who teaches history in the Junior High School in Fresno, California. To M. G. Calhoon must go a great deal of credit for the organization of the Crooksville High School and bringing it up through its infancy, against great odds and under adverse circumstances until it obtained its first grade charter. There are other persons who have done much for our schools but time and space forbid our recounting their deeds.

S. a new class of Freshmen who were to start on the race for that far off goal, a high school diploma. This was a large and intelligent class, who seemed worthy to do battle for their Alma Mater, and early showed signs of that spirit that was later to make them respected by other classes and bring fame to their school. One of their first events was the election of officers who were to lead and guide them in their race. As president they chose the natural born leader, Mr. Floyd McGuire, with Miss Pearl Coulter as Vice President. Mr. Harold Showers was chosen Secretary-Treas. With these officers their glorious victory was assured. During the first of the year raw oysters, cold water and other forms of initiation were popular. After everyone was thus made fit to be a member of C. H. S. a large reception was held and the class was welcomed by the three upper classes. This was thoroughly enjoyd by all and put new spirit into the new class. The class early showed their athletic ability when they put one of their members, Harley Vosper, on the first Basket Ball team. II Early the next year this class returned and took up their places in the rear end of the familiar studyhall, suffering several losses but very proud to have accomplished this first large step toward their goal. The work of initiating the Freshmen fell to them this year and to this day the class of 1922 will testify that they did the work well. Three members of the class, Springer, Pete and Slim, were on the Basket Ball team this year. The class also took a leading part in the social activities of the season. Besides taking active parts in the carnival and various school parties, several members of the class gave entertainments at their homes which were well attended and much enjoyed. The closing event of the season was a barbecue given at the country home of Mrs. Maddox at Roseville. They enjoyed themselves so well that no one thought of home until after twelve o’clock, with the result that they all walked home. Such was the good work done by the class that they were all well satisfied and in good cheer at the end of the term. III As the class came back the following year, they were honored by a room to themselves. They were now entering on the last half of the race, although many of the best members had fallen out. Nevertheless they began to set a pace for others to remember long after they had left. It was this year that the track meet was started, and the Juniors easily defeated the other classes in the preliminaries. Of those who were at the County track meet, who will forget Springer’s high jump, Mosie’s pole vault or Pete’s shot put. Hopes are still higher for the results of May 5, 1921. Foot ball was also started this year and the Juniors had more than their share on the team. Over half the boys in the class were on the team. In basket ball they furnished six men, Slim, Pete, Ted, Springer, Mose and Watts. The social career of the class was not as active as in the preceding year, but the spirit of the class was as vigorous as ever. The class accomplished a notable feat in re-establishing the Junior-Senior reception. This had been forbidden for several years, but by complying with certain regulations they were permitted to have the reception. This alone should leave their names in the memory of the Seniors of C. H. S. for years to come. IV As this class returned in 1920 as Seniors they were fortunate in having more instead of fewer members than the year before. Two pupils, Mr. Harold Finley and Miss Gertrude Maris, came from Sayre High to graduate with them. At the end of the first semester Miss Nona Mauler was advanced from the Junior class of the same year. In athletics the class played a bigger part than ever before. Nearly every boy in the class was on the foot ball team, which began to do very good work this year. The first basket ball team this year was made up entirely of Seniors—the following playing: Slim Showers, Pete Van Atta, Vernon Springer, Mose Tedrow, Ted Bates, Harold Watts and Charlie Johnson. It was this team that put C. H. S. on the map in basket ball. The class is justly proud to have brought this fame to their school. Though the Seniors lost to the Freshmen in the class tournament their seven best players were barred because of playing on the first team. The girls also did their share in organizing the girls basket ball team. Four Seniors were on the two debating teams in the county contest. It should also be mentioned that a Senior, Neil Stanbery took first place in the county essay contest this term. A few class parties were given this year but most of the time was devoted to work and athletics. Their pleasures will be much greater for this reason during the latter part of the year. This class has now weathered four years of High School life, filled with many pleasures and honors but also including much hard work. They have only a little farther to go to reach the goal which has been their aim since entering old C. H. S. We must now leave them to the contemplation of their victory, with the best wishes for their future welfare and knowing that there will ever be in their hearts a place set aside for Crooksville High School. Senior Class Prophesy Cincinnati, Ohio, Oct. 20, 1935 Mrs. Gertrude Maxwell, Triadelphia, Ohio. My Dear Gertrude :— Your letter was awaiting me when I returned home from my vacation trip. I was certainly glad to hear from you and so glad to know that you and Harley are making such successful farmers. It seems that the farmers are about as well off as anybody these days. Well, about our trip, you know Thelma Hooper is the head matron in the Mercy hospital here in Cincinnati and we both got a two-months’ vacation so we took our trip together. We surely had a most wonderful time and it seemed rather a coincidence that we have seen or heard from every one of our old classmates of C. H. S. ’21. The first one we ran across after leaving here was Wilbur Wood. He is the noted Professor of “Pep” in the Ohio State University in Columbus and during our two hours wait there he drove us around over the city in his limousine telling us all about his work and how well satisfied he is. He always was a live wire in High School and I just surmised he would be a “frisky piece” some day. Then we boarded a train for New York. We were no sooner seated until the conductor came through, and who do vou hink it was? Why, sure enough, it was Bob Mealick, with that familiar call of “tickets please.” We had quite a chat with him and he tells me that Ralph Brown is doing splendid work in the Real Estate business in Cleveland. We can always expect such from any one who “cropped out” the 90’s like he used to do. When we got to Buffalo, N. Y., I seemed to think I was getting rather tired but soon forgot all about this feeling when lo and behold you, who must get on the train here but Ted Bates and his wife, who used to be Bertha Deaver. They had been making a visit with Ted’s brother, E. D. Bates, our well known H. S. Superintendent, who now is overseer of high schools in Buffalo, and Bertha and Ted were on their way home in New York Citv. They were very determined that we should stop a day or so with them and see the kiddies, so we did. Ted is manager of one of the largest chewing gum factories in New York City and seems to be getting along so good. My! they certainly have everything comfortable and convenient about their home and they are among the leaders in socity there. We arrived at their home about 10:30 A. M. and in the afternoon as we were resting ourselves and reading the newspapers we saw where another of our old classmates, Virgil Nelson, the famous orator on all subjects, was to be at the Metropolitan Opera House that evening. The headlines in the paper was as follows: Famous Speaker in City Tonight Timothy V. Nelson, Former Governor of Ohio To Speak At Metropolitan Bertha and Ted had heard him during one of his previous visits there and after hearing of his splendid ability we were all the more anxious to go and hear him. His oration was great, the subject being, “The Original Reason, Why Girls Leave Home.” We went up and made ourselves known to him as the crowd was leaving and he gave us quite a line on some of our old pals. He told us that he met “Slim” Showers about two months ago in Toledo and it was rumored about that he would be Ohio’s next Congressman. He also said that “Pete” Van Atta is in New Jersey, taking training in boxing and is causing quite a bit of comment throughout that part of the state. You know he was of a pretty good build and looked like he was able to take care of “Pete.” Then last but not least we were informed that Pearl Coulter is a movie actress in California and she's naturally “taking the place by storm.” He expressed it in a way to indicate that she is certainly winning the laurels. Well the next day Bertha and I had quite a visit with each other as we went back again to our High School Days and 1 almost forgot to tell you that Vernon Springer is a cartoonist in New York City for the International Press Assn. He has a regular salary of $50,000 a year, so you may judge the value of his work by that. Edith Penman is also there in New York City. She is stenographer in the Custom’s House, and is engaged to be married soon. Neil Stanbery is living about forty miles out of the city and is working on an invention, an Automatic Hair Comber, for ladies. I guess he has married a real rich lady who has been a great help to him financially, but she is like all other inventor’s wives, she thinks he don’t give her enough of his time, but I suppose that is the way with life. When Bertha, Thelma and I thought it over just how many of our classmates were there so close, we decided to have a sort of reunion. The next evening which was Thursday, these which I have just mentioned being in or around Nt w York City had a dinner at the Baltimore and the dinner was followed by a Theatre Party. It seemed like a small class party back about 1920 or 1921. Friday afternoon at two-thirty Thelma and I sailed for England and we were greatly amazed to find that Harry Findlay was standing on the deck, selling peanuts by the peck. The rush was so great getting on the boat that we hardly got to say more than a word to him, much to my regret. After we had been on the boat for about six or eight hours and were just walking around upon deck I thought I saw a familiar face in the distance and as we came nearer I saw that it was Arthur Bailey. He was on his way to Ireland to see about an estate which his wife’s great step-uncle had left them. Of course the trip seemed like years to him. Our trip going over was very enjoyable and when we landed in England there was Bill Weaver at the port. I quickly inquired what he was doing and in his usual modest way he told me he was a member of the Parliament. Now, isn’t that great? But I’m not surprised though,are you? He is living in a large, richly gilded castle and has a family of five children, all exceedingly intelligent. We stayed in England for a week and then went from there to Egypt t0 see the famous ancient ruins, the wonderful pyramids and the majestic sphinx. The first place we went in Egypt was to see our home missionaries, Mr. and Mrs. Floyd McGuire, his wife, as we used to know her, being Lois Springer. They have had great success in teaching these heathens the civilized way to live. Harold Watts is also in Egypt. He lives near one of the Pyramids. Only recently he has accepted a position as missionary to that land and part of his duty is keeping nocturnal animals from disfiguring the figures of the Sphinx. The lions roar, the tigers scream, the desert sands shift, but Harold is peaceful and calm. We stayed in Egypt for a month and I had the pleasure of seeing many of the wonders which I had wished for since childhood. Our journey home was by a different route. We came by way of Canada and landed at Halifax, Nova Scotia. While we were in Halifax and were staying at a hotel there, one morning Thelma took a most dreadful headache and I asked the proprietor to recommend a good physician and he named Dr. Tedrow, but at that I never thought anything and when he came, here it was our old pal George. He stayed until her headache got better and then he revealed t0 us his life since last we had seen him. He said he had married Ina Burley ten years ago and that two years after their marriage they were separated for about four months, but since then, they had gotten along very congenially. They have one child, a little boy six years old, named Earnest. I imagine the boy was named for some beau of Ina’s. It seems to me I used to hear her talk of some one by the name or Earnest. We spent two days with Ina and George and then came on through Canada down to Chicago, 111. The second day we were in Chicago we went shopping and as we were in one of our stores had the great surprise of seeing Nona Mauller. She is a Superintendent in a Kindergarten school on the west side of Chicago. She told us that she had seen Lester Vance just the week before. He is traveling with a Chautauqua and is director of Sousa’s band. We did not tarry long in Chicago for we had been gene for quite a while and were ready to come home. Well, I am going t0 attend a concert at Music hall tonight and the briefness of time demands that I begin to prepare my toilette. Will close wishing you happiness and prosperity. Your old Schoolmate, MABEL WHARFF. “Last Will and Testament of Class 21” Know all men by these present that we, The Class of 1921 of the High School, Crooksville, Ohio; Realizing the uncertainty of life, and being of sane mind, do hereby give and bequeath : To the High School in General: The faculty, that body of Instructors who have nursed and educated us from Freshmancy to Senior Dignity, we would label them to save you many miserable experiences; “Handle With Care.” To the Faculty: we bequeath our best wishes, may they find other classes as studious and good-natured as the Class of ’21. taincy of the football and basket ball teams to the ablest performers of next year’s squads.

To those who are unobserving and thoughtless, they appear curious. White and black—light and shade —good and evil—light and darkness— day and night—virtue and vice—joy and sorrow—life and death—yes, even heaven and hell—all these opposites are symbolized in the colors we chose and blend together as the emblem of the principles for which we stand. Would life be complete to any soul who might only pass through the “white” experiences of the world? Could we become truly strong, if we were to meet only the bright sunshiny things along our way? Do we not need darkness in which to grow and develope latent power? Yes, we blend the black and white, Mingling darkness with our light, To divide our day and night! No half measured life we ask, Strength far greater than our task, Watered milk to fill our flask! Out with any life so weak! ’Tis for full grown tasks we speak, Foemen worth our steel we seek! Sorrow will enrich our joys; Life rebuild what death destroys. Balance bringing perfect poise.

We’re Who— “22 ” Three years ago on the seventh of September, we, a class numbering fifty or more, entered the portals of C. H. S. feeling perhaps a little shy and backward, as did the class before us, and feeling that we could not yet be included as a part of the high school. We firmly and bravely grasped all the courage and self-confidence attainable and entered the room into which we were shown, taking our place in the section known as the Freshmen class. We realized that for a few days we would be forced to undergo ridicule. All Freshies expect this and we were by no means exceptions to the rule. We were carefully watched by the upper classes and no mistakes or blunders History of Junior Class passed by without a volley of mirth being showered upon us. We were sports and took everything in a good humored way. At first we were inclined to be confused and to wander aimlessly in the hallway following one of our classmates whom we thought was going in the right direction. This of course afforded much fun for the upper class-men. Thus begun our life in C. H. S. It did not, however, take us long to get down to work with sleeves rolled up ready to tackle any proposition, big or little, that came up before us. The first thing we did was to elect class officers which were as follows: Earnest Holiday, president; Wilbur Garvin, vice president; Gertrude Watts, secretary, and Helene Pinnick, treasurer. A more spirited class never entered C. H. S. Many parties and barbecues were held this year. We must not fail to mention the Freshmen banpuet held in our honor and the royal treatment we received from the upper classes on that occasion. Our class did not show any musical, literary or athletic ability during this term. In the spring our Freshmen year drew to a close and with the loss of four classmates, including our president. We began our work in the fall as Sophomores. John Weese was elected president and we feel that he has done everything in his power for our class. Back to work again, but feeling a little more important, perhaps, we began our Sophomore year. This year for us, was rather uneventful. We took part in the track meet for the schools of Crooksville held here and we sent our quota of men winning second place. This was the most important happening for our class that term. We regret to say that though we gained several new pupils, we lost several classmates who had been with us thru the grades. A-mong those lost was our vice president, his place being taken by Melford Allen. Our Sophomore year was too soon ended and in the fall we came back a little more reserved and dignified as J uniors. We feel that we can justly be proud of our class this year. We have three members in the famous high school orchestra, two girls playing on the basket ball team and several in the Girl’s quartette. We enjoyed several parties this year, the most important being the one the girls gave in honor of the boys. Soon our Junior days will draw to a close and become a part of our memory of the past. In just a few weeks we will leave C. H. S. to return again in the fall as Seniors. Our Junior year has been a very happy one. We have worked hard together, we have enjoyed every moment spent together. Next year we will enter C. H. S. and be guided by our motto, “Gradatim.” Class IRoll Lloyd Thorn Lowell Christman William Bucknor Guy Spring James Dillehay Floyd Hoops Cecil Kincaid Lester Allen Myron Mullen Edwin Tague Helen McFarland Mary Lowery Beulah Smith Iva Williams Hazel Adams Wilma Hall Mildred Wilson Gladys Brown Beatrice Kane Gerald Buckley Carmen Cooke Pearl Cannon Pauline Watts Beatrice West Jean Van Atta Lura Jones Henrietta Wood La Verne Springer Beatrice Cooper Wanna Smith Ruth Gabriel Esther Cummins Katherine Joseph James Watts Nellie McGuire John Taylor Olive Cross Gladstone Neff Lena Elliot Miles Pitcock (Mass Offirrre President .1 AMES LEROY DILLEHAY rice President .MILES LEWIS J’lTCOCK Secretary Treasurer JEAN CATHARINE VAN ATTA fflott 0 Out of School Life into Life’s School Colnra Purple and Gold ¥[amst Pansy Sell Rickety Rax!

This record we have steadfastly maintained until now we are two miles within our goal with steadfast determination to graduate from the good old Crooksville High School better fitted and prepared to fight the battles of the cold world and to overcome the obstacles which we are sure to find in our path. The reception which was tendered us on our entrance into high school by the three upper classes will never be forgotten. Our welcome was made complete by this banquet. During the two years in high school, we have given our share of talented pupils in the contests. Lena Sophomore Class History Elliott has represented old C. H. S. both years as vocal soloist in the music contest and Lloyd Thorn in the orchestra. Gladys Brown has also represented the high school both years in the Declamation. Beatrice Cooper in the Piano solo in our second year. Pearl Cannon in the Spelling contest also in the second year. Two members of the class were on the Debating team James Dillehay and Catharine Joseph. During our two years we have made a standard for the other classes to follow. Our first successful year was ended by a class barbecue which was held in May. We entered into our Sophomore year more zealous than ever for by this time we had gained the reputation of being “an eager and striving class as well as a class full of pep and fun.” A more jolly bunch has never been in Crooksville High. The Basket Ball team which is composed of Lester Allen (captain), Cecil Kincaid, John Taylor, William Bucknor, Myron Mullen and Floyd Hoops has made its name famous by its victories. We are hoping to gain many more within the coming year. We have never forgotten the object of our endeavors, that is to become successful men and women. Many of us have already arrived at conclusions concerning our future and are bending every effort toward that end. With the completion of our education in high school, we hope to be able to enter the world with the staff of success in our hands. After serving faithfully our class and school we hope at the close of our high school career in ’23 to receive our diplomas with these words, “Oh faithful students of ’23 your work here is finished well and good. May your success in the world be as brillant as it has been in school.” CATHARINE E.

History of Freshmen Class The Freshmen class has as yet a very brief history in the social and business life of high school. Under the faithful guidance and instructions of our grade teachers, we, the Freshmen class, graduated from the eighth grade in the Spring of 1920 and entered high school in the following Fall. Although the studies and experiences being new to us, are more burdensome than those of other classes, we are doing our best to gain the position they now have. We are looked upon by the higher classes as being of little importance, but we take their remarks all in fun. Each class must have its turn and we are having ours. We have won a reputation this year as basket ball players. Class Tournament games were held, the Freshmen playing against the Seniors and winning a victory over them. The Sophomores won from the Juniors, so the final game was between the Freshmen and Sophomores. The Freshmen showed great ability and sportsmanship and won a victory over the Sophomores. Thus the Freshmen class won the class championship of the H. S. Members of the Freshmen team are: Kenneth Search, Clarence Heskett, Es-tel Springer, Robert Taylor and Noel Springer. When we have “yell service,” we are promptly reminded that the Fresh-ies must yell like they never did before. And thus we try to do. Sometimes someone remarks that we are loyal Freshies and show the best of high school spirit, but whether they mean it or not, we do not know. We have done our best in everyway, shape and form, to help the high school, and we hope that as upward and onward we walk the paths of high school life and follow in the footsteps of those who have gone before, we will be as ready and willing to meet the demands and requests of our teachers and instructors as are the Senior class today.

The gymnasium, while small, is second best in the county and offers advantages not found in even larger cities. What is commonly known to high school folk as “the ball diamond” offers advantages for football, base ball, track, etc. It has always been generally conceded by those in charge of our school, that athletics should be considered highly in the routine of high school work. Besides the physical benefit derived, there is that always present spirit which prepares athletes to suffer defeats in their lives to come. Rare indeed is the instance when a team is always winner. Likewise rare indeed is the instance when an individual is always winner. The man who falls and can rise again is the successful one. Such a man is an athlete. Football and basket ball stand pre-eminent in athletics of C. H. S. Base ball and track have also been taken up but not to the extent of the first two mentioned. May the athletic standards of Crooksville High continue empyreal. _ Coarh Hughes, Showers, Bate . Springer, inn. Ufa.

H. S. Athletics. For some reason, that famous outdoor sport had not been considered until late in the fall of 1919 when Superintendent E. D. Bates called a meeting of athletes interested in football and as a result of his efforts and those of Rev. Foster, a team was organized. This year, new uniforms were purchased. Rev. Foster and R. H. Cope were secured as coaches and the team enjoyed a sucessful season. The gridiron battle is now well established as a favorite sport of Crooksville fans and in the future C. H.

Thirteen members of C. H. S. this year, poured forth their souls into harmonious melody at various times, and as a result the school possessed the best orchestra in the county. In 1918 Mr. DeWolfe, principal at that time, organized an orchestra of five pieces. In 1919 the orchestra was again a success, Miss Ludy of Zanesville directing. In 1920 Mr. Edward Watts was secured to direct and as a result of his efforts the Crooksville aggregation won the penant in the county contest. This year our Symphony suffered quite a bit on account of the lack of good music, lack of funds and several other causes, but succeeded in proving itself superior to Thornville and New Straitsville in the 1921 county contest, winning the orchestra penant for the second consecutive time. It is interesting to note the fact that Mr. Watts was secured to direct, two weeks before the contest took place, and that after only four rehearsals our musicians were able to win the favorable comment of everyone attending the contest. Debating. The year 1919-1920 saw the art of debating at a high point of developement in C. H. S. Thru the efforts of Miss Agness Atkinson, Principal, assisted by Rev. W. E. Tilton, and thru the consistent work of the debaters themselves, two teams were well prepared on the question. Resolved, That the United States should Prohibit Immigration for a Period of Twelve years. This was the first year of debating as ft county contest event. Owing to the fact, however, that all but two schools withdrew from the contest it was declared “off” and no prize offered. But the two schools deserving the contest, Crooksville and New Straitsville, decided upon a dual event of their own, in which Crooksviile took both debates by a unanimous vote of the judges. This then justified the claims of C. H. S. to county championship in debating. As a result of last vear’s successes, the debating contest of the current year was much talked about and looked forward to. Only ore member of last year’s teams, Floyd McGuire, was left in C. H. S. this year. But twenty-one other student', also were prevailed upon to prepare “tryout” speeches; and from the group eight were selected. The teams immediately secured an abundance of material from many sources, and “got busy” on the question. Compulsory Arbitration of Industrial Disputes. Tho not “sentenced” by any judge, the debaters, with Mr. Brown coaching, spent many hours “at hard labor” preparing briefs, speeches and reference material. A feature of this year’s debates seemed to be their postponement and reholding. First the triangular debates were postponed. On March 9th, however, C. H. S. negatives remaining at home to meet New Lexington affirmatives, the affirmative team journeyed to Shawnee to meet that school’s negatives. At the same time, New Lexington negatives were debating Shawnee’s affirmatives at New Lexington. The outcome of the evening’s work was victory for all three affirmative teams. In the nature of the contest this made it impossible to carry out a county event. It was therefore decided to rehold the triangle. But New Lexington withdrew, so leaving Shawnee and Crooksville for a dual debate. It was in this reholding of the triangle that C. H. S. lost out by four-tenths of one per cent. All agree, however, it was “too close to be comfortable” for Shawnee. In the meantime, two other districts of the county had held triangular debates. In the final event, tho, one district withdrew entirely, leaving only the two old rivals—Shawnee and New Straitsville—as contestants for first honors. And even the finals had to be reheld to determine that New Straitsville, taught how to debate a year ago by Crooksville, is champion school of the county. It was early decided that Floyd McGuire and Lester Vance be captains of the C. H. S teams; and both did excellent service. But the other members of the teams, including alternates, should be just as highly commended. In the reholding of the triangle it was necessary that Catharine Joseph take the place of Lester Vance; and it should be said that she did this with great credit. Perhaps the best thing that can be said of 1920-21 debating is that five members (the under-class members) of the teams received training and experience which can be used next year. And this fact in itself should be warning enough to other schools of the county. AFFIRMATIVE DEBATING TEAM Floyd .McGuire Wilbur Wood Paul King Eva Coulter Lester I 'anee . EG. Tl I E l)E ’. 77. N V TE. . M Katherine Joseph Charles Job nson James Dillehay Music—Contest and Club Musical interest of the High School has been centered this year in the county contest and in a music club. Along with a championship orchestra, it develops that C. H. S. has much other talent in ways musical. The county contest this year scheduled the following: (1) orchestra, (2) boys’ quartet, (3) girls’ quartet, (4) boy’s vocal solo, (5) girl’s vocal solo, (6) piano solo and (7) violin solo. To dertermine members of Crooksvile High that should enter the contest in solo numbers, local “try-outs” were held in which fourteen students contended for the honors. Some preliminary work was done also before the quartets were picked. As finally chosen, the contestants in the numbers in order named, were (1) orchestra; (2) Lester Vance, Mel-ford Allen, Ted Bates, Wilbur Wood; (3) Gertrude Watis, Margaret Sherlock, Esther Cummins, Beatrice Newlon; (4) Charles Johnson; (5) Lena Elliott; (6) Beatrice Cooper; (7) Pearl Boring. As in the debate, so in the music contest, Crooks-ville. Shawnee and New Lexington constituted a district; and the district preliminary was held at Crooksville on March 10th. As a result of this contest. New Lexington went into the finals with the boys’ quartet, bovs vocal solo and piano solo; Shawnee, with the violin solo; and C. H. S. with the girls’ vocal solo, girls’ quartet and orchestra. There being no opposition in the last 2 numbers. In the county contest March 16th, Crooksville carried off first place for orchestra, and ran very close to the winners of the quartet and solo. But New Straitsville had been fortunate in taking 6 of the seven numbers in her district contest, so entering six contestants (including orchestra) in the finals. This enabled her easily to carry off the big county championship banner. C. H. S. however, had no number in either contest of which she could not be proud. And the fact that she holds only the second place banner is not in any sense a disgrace, in fact, it will serve as a great incentive the coming year. Late in the term of high school a music club of more than thirty members was organized. The purpose of the club, as expressed, is two-fold: first, to provide its members a greater acquaintance with the better class of music; second, to give practice in appearance before an audience, particularly in solo numbers. No stated amount of proficiency in any musical line is required of a member, only an interest in the purpose of the club and a willingness to take whatever part the club’s committee after careful consideration assigns. Five programs were outlined: semi-popular, patriotic, sacred, national, social and classical. Owing to lack of time, however, and to other circumstances, not all programs were carried out as planned. The home of Principal and Mrs. Brown furnished a meeting place for the club, and quite naturally the meetings partook slightly of the character of social gatherings also. Tho not a “phenomenal success” this year, the music club is “a step in the right direction;” and with organization early the coming year and greater regularity to its doings, it can not but accomplish an excellent work in C. H. S. The Hawthorne Literary Society (Cnlnrs Green and White tCabnr ta tljr Ensrurr nf fcxrrUrttrr ” (Ofttrrra President, FLOYD McGUIRE Vice President, NEIL S TAN IS ERY Secretary and Treasurer, LOIS SPRINGER Faculty Advisors, MRS. BRINKERHOFFand HUGHES All who have studied literature or have any knowledge of literature, know of the great work of Hawthorne of the fine lessons his works contain, his beautiful descriptions and novels with their quaint characters, and their never-dying appeal to the reader. No matter how many times they are reread, they have a new lesson that tends to lead our lives to higher thoughts and purposes. With this thought in mind the name “Hawthorne” was chosen. What does it mean? It means the best literary society in C. H. S. The one that stands for the highest in the intellectual and social life of Crooksville High School. We believe that training along literary lines is essential to a complete high school education. What would our high school be with out a literary society? The work of the societies helps to create the literary ability of the students and also to create in them the finer sense of taste called “cul ture”. We realize that the demand of the world for trained leaders, to face the gigantic preblems of the present age, places a premium on men and women who have convictions and can express them to others. We aim, in the Hawthorne Literary Society, to cultivate the student’s power of clear forceful expression, so that they may be prepared to uphold their convictions in the realities of life, whether it be before large audiences or whether it be in the ordinary intercourse between man and man. We all admire the man or woman who can arise and say what they want to say, but above all one who is able to say something worth while. We not only endeavor to educate the students a'.ong literary lines, but also aim to give the audience a clearer knowledge of literary work. The society tries to entertain the listeners with work that contains something worth hearing so that the hearer’s mind will be concentrated to the work of the program, that they have no time to think of other ways of entertainment, but wish when the program is over ihat it had just begun. Are we proud of our society? Well, I should say we are. The Hawthorne society needs no praise; it’s works have spoken louder than the words of others. The work of this society will not soon be forgotten, but will live on in the years to come. G. RAYMOND CHAFFIN The Emersonian Literary Society (Bnlnra Purple and flold ifluttn “ II 'hat is Excellent ax (hxt Lives is Permanent” In 1906 it was found that the enrollment of the high school was too large for all the pupils to be given a chance to take part in each literary program. It was decided that the programs would be a greater success if there was more rivalry in preparing and rendering them. So two pupils, Harry Bennett and Earl Crooks, were selected to choose members from the school in the same way that sides are chosen in an old fashioned spelling match. This method Is still used each year, in making the Freshman members. The societies thus being formed, it was now necessary to choose suitable and inspiring names for them. The name “Emersonian” was selected because of the work of the great literary genius, Emerson. The other society chose the worthy name, “Hawthorne.” Each society has a constitution and elects it’s own officers. This year’s officers are : Harold Showers, President; Ted Bates, V. President and Bertha Deaver, Sec’y-Treas. Each pupil is required to appear in at least three programs during each school year. The programs consist of readings, recitations, essays and biographies, many of which tend to acquaint us with great men of the past and present day. Current events occupy an important place in the programs and in this way we are kept imformed about daily happenings in this country and in foreign lands. Not only for the knowledge gained are the programs a great benefit, but also for the practise we receive in appearing before an audience. Also by taking part in the programs many pupils develop talents which they were un-aware they possessed, or if they were aware of them, had neglected to use to their best advantage. There has never been any thing but the best of feelings between the societies, and the rivalry has been of a pure and clean type. Both are to be commended for their splendid work. The names Hawthorne and Emersonian will remain long in our minds, each one bringing fond memories of our high school days. BERTHA DEAVER Spelling and Our spelling and declamation entries in the 1921 County Contest did exceedingly well.

CrooksviUe Hi iron the first place banner in the Count if Essay (’on test for 1921, by reason of the Jo loir in o' essay: “Why I Am Anxious to Get An Education” So fleeting are our days here that it behooves us to prepare for living in a manner which consumes littie time. A multitude of persons live a great part of their time in such a way that most of their life is spent in preparation. We are always being educated, but in my opinion, a four year college course can impart to us a solid foundation upon which to build our store of knowledge as it is accumulated throughout life. A college education, then, is the education to which I refer. Why I am anxious to get it is the theme of this essay. In my realization that life is, in part, a sombre drama, I have discovered that a portion of the world’s tasks are mine. To perform these tasks a vocation must be chosen and followed. A vocation is easy to choose. Were it not for our child labor laws, many would choose one at a very tender age. To perform these t .sks most efficiently, however, both to my own advantage and to that of others, I must choose a vocation which offers most and is best suited to, my own characteristics. The vocation I have chosen necessitates a considerable amount of technical training. This brings to light one good reason why I am anxious to get an education. ‘In Unity There is Strength’—This adage suggests another reason. I am endowed with the average number of mental faculties, which, if used at random, struggling with a variety of life’s incidents, as they may happen to occur, will only deliver a small amount of benefit. During my education these faculties are concentrated upon a specified group of ideas, and as a result I perform my share of the world’s work as efficiently as possible and without waste of energy. While pursuing my special training, I also gain a general knowledge which places me in a position to appreciate the work of others and enables me tp play an intelligent part in public affairs. As a key to business success an education is indispensable. True, a large number of our business men were not favored with college training; their education was obtained in the costly school of experience. They themselves agree that a more extensive preparation would have heightened their success. My education gives me access to knowledge in the shortest possible manner and eliminates experimenting on my part. ‘Knowledge Is Power’ —Human beings exult when power is at their command. It is my desire to gain a certain amount of power and with a conscientious exultation, use it in rendering proficient service to humanity and to a large degree, in lessening a little of the world’s woe. It is not very probable that my knowledge, power and possible billiancy derived from this education, would noticeably affect the scheme of the Universe. In that scheme, myself and quite a number of others, built in the image of the same Creator, are indefinite articles. However, in the most complicated mechanism, each screw has its function, which if not correctly performed, impairs the efficiency of the entire machine. It is obvious that preparation for an eternal spiritual life, of whatever it may consist, can best be accomplished by striving to attain perfection in this material one. The greater the scope of my education, the greater my ability to approach perfection. Education, then, furnishes me a means of exercising my natural powers to the best advantage in an effort to live a perfect life. Regardless of my attitude toward life, whether I look upon it as a merry game or a grim battle, the more extensive my education, the better I am prepared either to win the game or to emerge victorious from the battle. The desire to win is a part of animate nature. The big incentive, therefore, that urges me to get an education, is the fact that it will aid me in securing a claim to victory w’hen the end of life’s journey is reached. NEIL STANBERY “STRONGHEART” An American Comedy-Drama in Four Acts Successfully presented by the Senior class of ’21 at the Crooksville Opera House on Wednesday evening, May 25th. Thorn, an unscrupulous man, plots the defeat of the Cloumbia Universy football team, for selfish reasons of his own. Strongheart is suspected and in a heroic way saves the day. The plot is interwoven with college life and a very touching love-story. “Strongheart” will long be remembered by Crooksville people. It’s success is due, in a large measure, to the efforts of Miss Lela Taylor, whose diligent coaching threw the spotlight on the following “talent:” Taylor—a sophomore...........................Ted Bates Ross—a freshman.................George Tedrow Reade—a “grind”.................Neil Stanbery Thorne—a special..........................Harold Watts Fred Skinner—a sport......................Lester Vance Dick Livingston—a junior.........Arthur VanAtta “Billy” Saunders— a senior by courtesy.... ............................

Humor is wit with rooster’s tail feathers stuck in it’s hat and wit is wisdom in tight harness. The Bible speaks highly of wisdom,saying that it giveth life to those that have it. Life is what we are pi-eparing for in high school. Let us enjoy, then, the wisdom of this humoi-, acquire some of it, and enjoy life to so much the greater degree. Fun was designed for the million and ethics for few, is the substance of the sage’s remarks, but the “point” of some things is only acquired immediately by the FEW. The “point” soon reaches the denser nerves of the MILLION, they laugh; a few with still more dense nerves fail to see the “point” at all and never do laugh. Now quaff of the cup of the sweet blood of prunes. A lot of boarding house jokes have been told but the one our baby elephant, a member of the Junior class tells us wins the leather covered piano bench. Elinor was boarding in Chicago once, where thei'e were no napkins. Whenever she wanted to wipe her fingers, she called a big Newfoundland dog and rubbed them on said dog’s hair. Saturday night the cook washed the dog and Sunday morning they had soup for breakfast. Nonede Plume—Little Giants played Petty’s Shoes of Lancaster too games—one won and lost won. Here you behold the famous Perry County champion bucket ball team. String Showers is seen at the center with his dome rising to the foreground. Sloppy Springer, the all Southern Ohio man, is seen in his regular position. Beauconp Bates, is there too as is also Strangler Pete. On the extreme left end you be- hold Tedrow the Terrible, denizen of the Perry County basket-ball forest. Besause this cartoon looks bad enough as it is, the substitute members of the bucket brigade have been left out. Look at this long and weary and when you take this book into your hands again, look at it long and weary again. “Eat, Drink and be Careful.” Analysis of Sweet Love Luve iz a universal human emoshun an I am going to speak about it here. Sum one has sed that it is blind so therefor yu kin deduce that it kant sea enything. Personally I am unable to reezen jist whi it is said luve is blind, be:auz su n fellers 1 no kin sea a lot more in there sweethearts than I kin. Disap’intment in luve iz all on one side. Two male peoole are often said to git in luve with un phemale person an both ov them think they tan win, but I am authorised here to state that both of them kant. This iz a thing that az many as wants too kin play but onlv one iz goin’ to win When to people on the opposite side’. wins there is a marr’age takes occasion an this iz exactly what gives luve its flavor. Some people rnary fer buty an re'ash-uns and sometimes are luky. Sumtime3 theze kind last a livetime and sumtimes tha dont. Sum peeple mary tha dont know for why and live afterwards they dont no how. Them that mary fe luve generalv live hapy ferever, other things being equal and complimentary each to each. If a hooman excapes luve the first round, the second round will not be so hard. When luve first urns up over the horizen, oxidation of the sole commences imedi-ately. A fire which soon threatens to make ashes of un of God’s noblest creeturs, sets up and dew to the consequental per-spiraihun of the cerebellum is held back, but the reakshun dow too the result puts the effected creetur in a fixture of chaos which is said by perminent men of wizdum, to be nuthing conor pro than unconsciousness. As I said befor if the victum lives thru the unconscious period, the sole waz alredy made black bythe first oxidation an he kant see luve the secunt time like he did the first time. Becauze luve is blind sum folks will say he kant sea at al but I clam he kin sea. If any one kant sea, haw R they goin to wink there i’s at the rite time? If a inhabitant ov the united states of north america gits soaked bi this mystery befor he gits thru hi schul, a normal person kin notice a chang in the akshuns of him. The victum, provided it is the masculin gender, imperative case, assums an active voice, uses the entire present in planning the future and resambles a young dog befor he haz learned to walk. The object of this paragraf in this essa is to explan to the read er why, in most luver’s instrukshun buks, there is almost invarably at the vary lat-test, at leest un chapter on puppppy luv. The menshun ov pup luv brings too mi mind the fakt that in the inglish tung the subject of this essa haz too or thre meenings. The wird pup befor the original roun does not detract frum the sympathy of the noun alone. The new phraze is as universal, but more bold an not quite as study as the unclothed wird. Other parts of spearh hav bean perfixxed to luve and tha two very its meening sumwhat. Muther love most nearly resembles the sunset on water and is therefor the most butifull. the biggest draw bak for muther luv is that it can only be applyed to half ov the populashum, natur having made it impossible fer the mail of anv speciees to have this kind. Luve of God is the best thing enyone kin git regardless of the fakt that sum preachers instill the fear of him. Next to Fords and abov soft drinks, the maiority of luve is the most expenssiv thing in this country to-day. Their is acceptions to al rools and the acception in this instant is with the lady in luv. She dont pa with mun.v. Sumtimes her dad consums all the expense but when she haz to pa she haz to pa dere. She signes her name on a marriage contract and and later faces a tun of dissillusionment. Every one claims the right to critisize articles in a skul annul and most every un duz it like a mule doz. They shut both eyes and let go with their behind legs. Sum will critisize a luv essa in a annul. Rite here to prevent any such thing I am going to state why just whi yu are reading this book now. Bekause a pupil luved his or her hi skul and bot this buk as a remember-ance. The wa to a woman’s luve is to praise her gown, her hat or her baby; an too a man’s to bragg about his car, his watch or his essa. Sensible peeple agree with our opinions every time. Therefore don’t offer any objekshuns. Luve reverberates thru the vary walls of are skul building. It reverberates in all its meenings an also in meenings Greak to the master mind of Webster. Luve prompts the missives of purphume which sail the blew heven above our Freshman klas. Gladys luves Lloyd and Purl luves Ronald and so it is. POWERFUL is the reverberations of Luve in the Senior rume. The Klass of ’21 iz only an example. Az eech succeeding Seenior klass comes ebbing, frothing, dancing, edging, frolicking, progressig, manicuring, bawthing into this rume, the vary dust in the chawlk trofs reflection the speerit of luve an when poloticks is abolished our prosterity will gane a seperfishul nowledge in a brik building whoze every attorn frum the ventilashum fan too the chuing gum under the seets wil reverberate with Luve. In the paragraf preceding the paragraf above, I hev decided to explane hear the meening of the perphumed missives. They ar little notes of luve which are passed fro and two during thoze luving minits of idleness during which teacher haz her i’s else-wher. Tha are by-products ov th emoshun an in themse’ves are on of its impe:-lekshuns. the sage has said “Luv will find a way.” Naw, dere reeder, yu feal that fealing which cums over u ee:h time u recognizze a grate trooth. You pickshur in yur mind thoz desperate chances yu tuke in delivering that similar epistle. A poet who haz long since died stated that a person whoz luv was bold did not luv well. That ma bee tru toda but their is no way to prove it. Now if a man luvs a woman he haz to pro-dam the same too the wurld. The social colums of the papers must announce it. The pruf of hiz luv is the size of hiz poketbuk, an the number ov cilinders in the engine ov hiz motor carr. Bare in mind what I hev said befor, the fakt that all rools hev acceptions. In terminatshuning this essay, it will be neseccarv to have the reeder do one ov the hardest things in this wurld to dew. Dere reeder, if yu are a darter of Eve er a son of Adam I hev advice fer yu. It iz a kind that iz ez to swaller an after thinking it over I am inklined to thinkk u wil prophet buy it. To sons of Adam: “KeeD Yor Eye On TheGirlie Yu Luv, fer If Yu Dont Sum other FELLER Will” To daughters of Eve: “Maiden that readst this simple ryme. Enjoy thy youth; itwill not stay; Enjoy the fragrance of thy prime, For oh, it is not always May! Enjoy the spring of love and youth. To some good angel leave the rest; For time will teach thee soon the truth. There are no birds in last year’s nest!” (Longfellow) Yours with lots of love—Editor.
