March 15, to fill the position of Mr. Wittman, who resigned because of ill health. Our Faculty Miss Dillehay teaches history Over at Junior High. She says that we will some how Know history by and by. ’Lectrons, Atoms, Molecules, Dicots, Monocots, and toadstools, A drawing to make; a specimen to arrange In Ice’s lab where the chemicals change. We’ve read of men like Bryan, Have given them many a page; But one we thing should be there, Is our superintendent, Mr. Stage. Miss Hite is a fine musician; Can play in every key. And every day in Chapel it’s— “My Country ’tis of Thee.” Miss Schneider teaches stenography , And in class we have to laugh, When the studs purchase typing paper, She says, “Just bring me Schrafft’s.” Miss Elliott teaches Latin, She gives us grades so meagre. Miss Elliott says the trouble is We don’t know how to Caesar. Miss Murphy is a purist, She talks so grand and quaint. We’d walk a mile barefooted, Just to hear that girl say “ain’t.” Miss Jamison runs a typewriter So fast we have to plead. For her we’ll write a novel And call it “Royal Speed.” We’ve talked of rivers here and there, On maps we oft did look For lakes, and ponds, and oceans wide But here’s a new one—Miss Ash Brook. Miss W’esterfield’s another new teacher We like her very fine. We hope she’ll still continue To teach here all the time. We once had a teacher named Mast, Taught here just several months past. Tho’ she’s gone and we hate it, We can’t help but say it, We’ll never forget you, Miss Mast. Mr. Stuart is our football coach. We cannot praise him too high; He’s the man on the side lines. Making all kinds of field signs, While watching his team go by. Miss Lamb—La petite Mademoiselle, Whose French forms are hard to excel, When in a nap you partake, and she finds you’re a fake, She cries, “Ye sons of French, awake, awake!” Mr. Wittman does not always agree, With the things in Muzzey’s book. He says, “In marking Kansas off, They missed it half a foot.” Miss Kincaid teaches Home Economics, She cuts out Kellog brands, And after she has mounted them, She has glue all over her hands. Mr. Allen has a gay old walk, Over at Junior High. He likes to teach arithmetic; That’s why we can multiply. Miss Snell teaches English at Junior High, And teaches very well. Preparing them for Senior High So they some story can tell. Three cheers for Mr. Noble, He’s the High School Principal. And any class you ask him He can teach it very well. —Avalyn Wilson.

S., we take this opportunity to show our recognition of their merits. This class has been an exemplary one in all phases of school life. We lament their departure, but we bid them Godspeed on their journey to success. We trust that they will ever recall with pleasure their good times in C. H. S. and we extend to them a hearty invitation to come back and visit with us. THE JUNIORS (Class of 1927) CRUX HI S K A N LILLIAN E.

Four years ago in the fall of 1922 a curious lot of youngsters entered the Crooksville High School. They had just settled their heads for a long siege of study when they were aroused by a noisy bunch of children presenting themselves as New Years presents and demanding their rights as freshmen. The new brothers were welcomed probably as an only, favored son welcomes a new baby sister. But the first glance at the entire group assured any onlooker that this, the class of 1926, would be the best and greatest class that ever graduated from C. H. S. The new class organized and we soon became at home in our new surroundings, even though it was hard amid the laughter and satirical remarks of our elders. However, we overcame our fears and timidness soon after the freshman banquet given us by our upper class mates. We entered C. H. S. as Sophomores in the fall of 1923, but now we were not so timid. We did our best toward supporting athletics; our boys took an active part as players on both the football and basketball teams, and the girls not to be outdone showed their skill by supporting the girls’ basketball team and helped to bring home the Silver Loving Cup for three successive years. Starting on the third quarter of our race we had that old “spirit of 76,” which was predominant in everything. In the middle of the term we entered our new Temple of Knowledge—the new high school building. It was this year that we entertained the departing seniors with a reception which every one enjoyed. We still kept our famous athletes and became known on the stage through participation in plays, operettas, debates, and orations. In the fall of ’25 we again assembled—this times, as leaders of dear old C. H. S. with a certain air of dignity which Seniors alone possess. We still had our fighting spirit and although we had many little quarrels we thought nothing of them, but remembered the old proverb, “True Love Never Runs Smoothly.” We are now coming in our travels close to the crossroads—each individual expecting to go straight ahead on the road to success, hoping that all underclassmen will follow in his footsteps and remembering that— Lives of great men all i-emind us We can make our lives sublime, And departing leave behind us, Footprints on the Sands of Time. LILIAN LEETH. Last Will and Testament of Class of 1926 Know All Men by These Presents: We, the members of the Senior Class of 1926, of Crooksville High School, of the Village of Crooksville, in Perry County, State of Ohio, having fulfilled our mission in dear old C.

The Senior Class of ’25, Was a good class you must admit, But the Senior Class of ’26, Has outclassed them quite a bit. And when we leave our “Alma Mater,” And the school we love so dear, And go out into the world, at first Things will seem pretty drear. Though in life we may wander, O’er the world, both far and near, We will hold in fond remembrance The old High School dear. And the classes yet to follow. May be as good as this, But they won’t be any better, Than the Class of ’26. —J. H. SMITH. Things They’ll Miss Oh! how they’ll miss when we are gone Gerald’s gum and Cookie’s smile The things of which they’ve grown so fond, Helen’s sweater and Henry’s style Helen and John, and Rachel and Dick And Ned tooting his great big horn. And Robert with his hair so slick. They’re so many things for which they’ mourn. They’ll never forget Lona’s curls. Nor Walter’s love for Crooksville girls, For when we Seniors graduate, We’ll leave this High School desolate. —LILLIAN BAKER iBSBsaeffiseiBseasffiSBSBffi t'Hux m skan sggBa?agBgsa;a6aeaeaBafi This space is respectfully dedicated to the one who has so faithfully given us her services as Senior Typist for the Crux Hi Skan.

Unreasonable silence is folly. A little body often harbors a great soul. Don’t cross a bridge until you come to it. Never sound the trumpet of your own praise. As well to have no time as to make no good use of it. An honest countenance is the best passport. Industry is fortune’s right hand. A handful of common sense is worth a bushel of learning. To be wise is to know how little can be known. It is more painful to do nothing than something. Nobody has too much prudence or virtue. If you would have things come your way, go after them. Kindness is the best weapon to conquer with. If you would have a thing well done, do it yourself. ’Tis not how much but how well we read. Maidens should be mild and meek, swift to hear and slow to speak. An ounce of patience is worth a pound of brains. .Nothing is impossible to a willing mind. A smiling face makes sunshine in a shady place. Every man is the architect of his own fortune. Life is too short for the happy. There is no one luckier than he who thinks himself so. Never trust to another what you should do yourself. If the counsel be good, heed it, no matter who gave it. Diligence is the mother of good fortune. Look before you leap. -Learn wisdom by the follies of others. A friend in need is a friend indeed. A laugh is worth a hundred groans in any market. He’s a wise man who can make a friend of a foe. All things come to him who waits. He that returns good for evil obtains the victory. -Follow the wise few rather than the vulgar many. Be slow to promise and quick to perform. _Care and diligence bring luck. A rolling stone gathers no moss. Good words are like a string of pearls. You can’t eat your cake and have it too. One ounce of wisdom is worth a pdund of wit. He is a good orator who convinces himself Many words will not fill a bushel. Whom Fortune favors the world favors. Virtues of Old C. H.

This is the first year we have had the privilege of occupying an entire building, and since our enrollment has been larger this year than ever before, we have found it necessary to use all of our rooms. We now have a library, gymnasium, study hall, reading rooms, and class rooms. This year we do not have Domestic Science and Manual Training in our curriculum, as both of these subjects are now being taught in our senior high school. However, Physical Culture has taken an important place on our program and each morning the boys and girls gather in the gymnasium where they are given physical exercises and health talks. We have given several very pleasing and entertaining literary programs. Our Armistice Day and Thanksgiving Day programs were especially well received by the parents who attended. Our play for the year, “Mrs. Tubbs of Shantytown,” was a great success and considered by many to be the best play ever presented by our school. Throughout the year each class has given various parties. Our Hallowe’en and Christmas parties will long be remembered by all the boys and girls. The call for a basketball team was readily answered by the boys and girls from both grades. After several weeks of practice we played our first game with the Freshmen. Although not as successful this year as last we can still boast of a good year for both teams. Each year our school is getting better and we hope that our boys and girls will continue to be boosters for our Dear Old Junior High. JUNIOR BURLEY (8A) BURL KINCAID (8A) student activities Athletics During the school year of 1925-1926, athletic activities in Crooksville High School have been quite profitable for a large number of students and have been generally successful in a financial way and in the winning of interscholastic content . Following the local high school’s entrance nto inter-scholastic athletics in 1915, through the organization of girls’ and bo s’ basketball teams, tnese activities have increased in popularity every season. Since that time, in basketball, Crooksville has produced one championship boys’ team and three championship girls’ teams, in Perry County. The boys had a clear record in 1921, and went to the State tournament. After winning their first game, they were defeated in a close game, by Dayton Stivers, the State Champions. The girls won the Perry County championship in 1924, 1925, and 1926. Football was introduced into Crooksville high school in 1919. Since that year several championship teams have been produced. There has never been a poor team here. This year, from a large amount of partially green, though willing, material, an efficient football machine was developed. This team, which fared well in county games, was characterized by its fighting spirit and its sportsmanlike conduct. Basketball in Crooksville seems to be the most popular of the various kinds of athletics. The boys this year had to build up an entirely new team, with only one letter man back from last year, and with more than three players fighting for every position. Under such conditions the boys did well to win five out of seventeen contests, and to lose several games by close scores. They are looking forward to next season when there will be a wealth of seasoned material out for the team. In the 1926 tournament the boys lost their first game to Glenford, who again, as last year, won the county championship. The girls won their third consecutive championship this season by decisively defeating New Lexington in the tournament finals. They won every game played, including contests with Logan and Lancaster, both of whom had very strong outfits. The girls surely deserve the title in Southeastern Ohio this year and seem justified in challenging the right of any other girls’ team playing boys’ rules to a state championship. Next year looks practically as good as this season, so far as a championship team in the county is concerned. Three-fourths of the student body are playing basketball this year and thereby getting much good physically, by means of intramural contests. Seven boys’ teams, including a Faculty team, and six girls’ teams are entered in the intramural league. Crooksville students expect to do well this year in the county track meet, which will be held the last Friday in April. It is worthy of emphasis that Crooksville athletic teams are noted for their sportsmanship, clean playing, and enthusiastic, fighting spirit. cki x hi skan Foot Ball Team Review of Season Team Where Played Score Winner Zanesville At Home 38- 0 Zanesville Newark Abroad 32- 0 Newark Dresden Abroad 14 0 Dresden McConnelsville At Home 0- G C.

He kept the fight in the boys and played a stellar game himself. Whenever a sure gain was needed you could always depend on “Eggs.” He is a good loser, stands for clean sportsmanship, and is always willing to give his last ounce of energy for C. H. S. We are expecting some wonderful football from him, at half back, in his next and fourth year. 1923 C 1924 C 1925 C WILLIAM DALRYMPLE (“WIDDY ) Only a freshman but one of great promise. “Widdy” is small but plays the game of a giant. He won his letter this year and is on the road to three more. He played in only a part of the games, but gave an exceptionally good account of himself when on the field. Watch him go next year. 1925 Num. JOHN HUGHES (“JOHNNY”) “Johnny” has been center for three years and is considered the best in the county. He is always on the job, playing a clean hard game, and boosting C. H. S. with all his might. Your place will not be easy to fill, “Johnny.” 1922 Num. 1923 C 1924 C 1925 C BRYAN HARTLEY (“BILL”) “Bill” is a good clean sportsman, hard fighter, and as good an end, on both offense and defense, as ever stepped into football togs. We surely hate to lose you, “Bill.” 1924 Num. 1925 C COACH WITTMAN Although injury kept the coach from the field a good part of the season, his heart was ever with the team. He worked hard to round the team into shape for a successful season. BYRON SNELL (“NOME”) The “fightenest” fullback that ever played football. This was his first year as a regular but he played with the ability of a professional. Not only did he play well himself but always cheered on his teammates, put the pep in them and gave them confidence in themselves. He is captain-elect for next year and with his experience, his added weight and age, he should be a fine leader. 1924 Num. 1925 C. CLINTON NEFF (“DOUGHBELLY”) CRUX HI SKAN The human stone wall. At guard there is none better. For a good substantial gain it was only necessary to follow “Dough-belly” through. He could always open a hole in the line and on defense he was, we repeat, a stone wall. Watch his smoke next year. 1924 C 1925 C DONALD HUGHES (“DON”) This big, rangy tackle is always in the thick of the fight and doing his bit. Don will be with us next year and we are expecting even greater things from him then. 1923 Num. 1924 C 1925 C LEO BESS (“LEAKY”) Small but mighty. Leo won his fame through his pluck and “go get ’em” tactics. He is a man with the spirit that makes real football heroes. His opponents at tackle were always larger but never better. C. H. S. loses another mighty good man after graduation. 1924 Num. 1925 C RALPH FLEMING (“BIFFO ) When “Biffo” reported about the middle of the season and asked for a uniform, some of the boys thought it was a good joke. He said he had to uphold the record of Tropic, but he completely broke it. In a very few days he showed his worth and landed a job as guard where he earned the name War Horse because of his fighting abilities. “Biffo” you will soon be gone but never forgotten. 1925 C 'e '.rit LLOYD COPE (“COPEY”) This was “Copey’s” first year on the squad but he held down his regular position at end in such fine shape that he looked like a four year man. Two more years of high school football and he will be ready for the fastest company in the county. 1924 Num. 1925 C JAMES KELSO (“JIMMY”) Everything was new to “Jim” when he came on the field last fall and his task was doubly hard. He not only had to learn football from the smallest detail but he had to fill the vacancy at quarter back. He gave a good demonstration of his ability by holding down his difficult position in a way that was worthy of much praise. He is with us again next year and we expect great things from him. 1925 C CRUX hi skan 958BaS8BSB%Sese£B8S8BffSgB JOHN SNELL (“JOHNNY ) Although this was “Johnny’s” first year you can see what great efficiency can be gained in a short time by hard work and attention to business. John was one of the best tackles C. H. S has known and his absence next year will not be easy to overlook. 1924 Num 1925 C HUGH DALRYMPLE (“BODDY”) A freshman with the ability to make a fine football man. With another years experience he will be hard to beat. 1925 Num. WM. HUGHES (“BILL”) A big, red-haired junior with two years of hard work on the gridiron to his credit. “Red” did not make his letter this year, but deserves much praise for his many good qualities. Next year will be his big opportunity and he will without doubt make good. 1924-1925 Num. ADRIAN DEAN (“DEANIE”) A good all-around man. He filled a position at center, halfback and end and gave a good account of himself at every position. “Deanie” will be with us again next year and we will look for some real football from him. 1924-1925 Num. COACH STUART To find a man who has worked harder to make C. H. S. known in football would require not a little effort. For several years he has turned out teams which were fighters and has instilled in the players the real loyalty and sportsmanship which they possess. MARVIN McGUIRE (“MARVE”) A fast freshman, and one hard to stop. He is level-headed, tough and has the making of a great football player. 1925 Num. 86869586868886888688868696 in x ... s k an ODIS FOLDEN (“ODIE”) The red-haired medicine man. Odie deserves much praise for his faithfulness to the team. He was not one of the players but he was working hard to keep them in shape and his medicine was good. He was always on the job and we will miss a good “iodine painter” when Odie” departs. 1925-C THOMAS FERGUSON (“TOM”) A small freshman with plenty of nerve and willingness to work and learn. His term on the varsity is coming. 1925 Num. HAROLD BUSH (“SID”) A freshman with the ability to catch passes and make tackles. With more experience Harold should make a good end. 1925 Num. LEWIS WILLIAMS (“LEW”) A freshman, and a hard worker with the right spirit and bright prospects. He is the kind of man we can depend upon to bring fame to C. H. S. 1925 Num. FRANK NELSON (“NELS”) Frank was one of the hardest fighters on the second squad and only his comparative lightness kept him off the first squad this year. 1925 Num. RONALD THARP (“RON”) This is “Ron’s” first year on the squad. He is developing fast and should be a valuable man next year. 1925 Num. ARTHUR FERGUSON (“ART ) Another freshman with the ambition to be on the job and learn the game. His work this year was well done and appreciated. 1925 Num. crux hi skan CTCT88 sa%8a%egB88 Boys Basket Ball Team Back Row: - Elliott, Dean, Hughes, Williams, M. Hartley, Coach Wittman.

Aggressive, seemingly everywhere on the court at the same time, possessed of a good basketball head and well developed technique, generous in team play, cheerful, a “good sport”—That’s Ned. “RON” GARVEN—Forward Roland stepped into the forward position opposite Watts after the Christmas vacation with loads of cheer and enthusiasm and “rarin’ to go” after his enforced rest from the loss of his appendix. He was always willing to give his best for his school. This year’s experience should make him a valuable and efficient player next season. ‘ BILL” HARTLEY—Center From sub last year Bryan was promoted to a regular berth on this year’s team which was surely earned by his always playing at top speed and by his jumping ability. Scrambling for the ball here, diving for it there, good on getting it off the bankboard, always making himself felt and his place hard to fill —that’s Bill. “JIM” KELSO—Guard With no basketball experience Kelso made good by constant practice and willingness to learn the fundamentals of the game. He has a strong physique and an aggressive style of playing which make him the ideal type of player for a guard position. Next year should present him with a great opportunity to make a name for himself in basketball. “HAM” WILSON—Guard Another player, a Senior, with no previous varsity experience, who developed into a fine guard by mid-season. It took a whole team to get by him when he, firm as a rock, defended the basket. We wish Floyd had gone out for basketball sooner. “DON” HUGHES—Center and Guard Lanky and long, but Donny-on-the-spot when it came to trying hard to win. Donald makes his letter this year and has another semester to play the game. We know he will make all possible use of that opportunity. “SKEETER” PRICE—Forward The only sophomore to make his letter. Kenneth is small but makes up for that by his speed and basket shooting. Look out for this boy for two years yet, Perry County. “RED” HARTLEY—Guard One of those Seniors who missed his opportunity to make a letter by a small margin because he lacked experience. Real interest in the game and an honest desire to make good was characteristic of Maurice. “JUNE” WILLIAMS—Forward A willing substitute with plenty of aggressiveness. Lewis will make the team for two years yet. “CAESAR” GILES—Forward He came out, reduced, showed great shooting ability, and promises much for another year. Marion shoots ’em long or short, from any position on the floor. Dean, Grube, Wilson, L. Cope, F. Cope, Conaway, Elliott, H. Hughes, other members of the squad, and certain players on the class teams will all make a strong fight for positions on next year’s team. Girls’ Basket Ball Team Left: D. Trout, M. Elliott, A.

H. S. No matter how tired, “Catty” could always be depended on for a basket when most needed. Besides her good offensive work, she has also developed as much skill as any player in the county on the defense by breaking up passes. “Catty” will have a chance next year to show her proficiency in collegiate basketball and we predict great things for her. C. H. S. will miss her very much. She has participated in the bringing home of three successive championship cups. (2) ANNABELLE STOUT—Forward “Annie” is the tall, slender forward of the girls’ “Crimson and Black.” This is Annie’s third year on the varsity, and she has also done a great deal toward winning three silver cups for C. H. S. Her playing is of high calibre. This is her junior year and great things will be expected of her next year. (3) MABEL ELLIOTT—Guard “Lefty” is another one of our team who is a dependable player. This is her first year on the team. On numerous occasions she has come through with the deciding marker, and her consistency was a big factor in the success of the team. C. H. S. is fortunate in having “Lefty” in line for one more year. We anticipate a bright future for her next year. (4) LUELLA WATTS—Forward “Lue” is another newcomer on the team this year. She deserves a great deal of commendation for her excellent playing. We are sorry to be losing her this year. Lue’s “permanent smile” did a great deal toward helping C. H. S. bring home the championship cup. And may we say again that some college squad has a treat in store for them. (5) FRANCES SMITH—Guard “Smitty” is another guard whose shoes will be hard to fill next year. In “Smitty” Bremen gave C. H. S. one of the most firm and level-headed guards in basketball. It will be extremely difficult for C. H. S. to find another standing guard so competent as “Smitty.” She made the game extremely interesting for many opposing guards and gave them no end of trouble. (6) HAZEL BLOSSER—First Sub. “Haze” sat upon the sidelines quite often, as does any “sub,” but she was always quick and on the alert, ready to be placed into service upon a second’s notice. (7) DOROTHY TROUT—Second Sub. “Dot” is not much larger than her nickname, but what she lacks in size she makes up for in agility. We are glad to know that “Dot” will be on hand for next year. (8) BARBARA STINSON—Third Sub Many a practice would have been exceedingly dull, had it not been for our nimble “Barbee.” She never entered scrimmage unless she put up good opposition. C. H. S. is very fortunate in having her for another year. (9) ANNE E.STONEBURNER—Fourth Sub “Stony” put pep into many a squad practice. She also supplied her full quota of opposition in scrimmage. We are glad she is to be with us next year. (10) HAZEL RAMBO—Fifth Sub. “Whitey” was always on hand full of pep and vivacity. Her cheering from the sidelines did a lot by way of encouraging the C. H. S. girls’ quintet. The Team and Squad of ’26, as a whole, was worthy of the County Championship, not only because of their excellent playing, but also because of their splendid spirit and spoi’tsmanship.

The Boys’ Glee Club For the first time in the history of the school, a regularly organized Boys’ Glee Club was offered to the boys of Crooksville High School. Altho the organization is in its infancy, it has done many noteworthy things. The boys in the cast of the operetta were chosen from the members of the Glee Club. The entries for the Music Contest were also chosen from the Club members. The Boys’ and Girls’ Glee Clubs represented Crooksville at the meeting of the Perry County Teachers at New Lexington in January. With only one year to its credit the Club was successful because of the interest of the students and the cooperation they gave Miss Hite. Since the county boasts only one other similar organization (at Junction City) the Club has secured county-wide recognition. It should be made a permanent organization and help Crooksville to ascend to the top of the musical ladder. ffigiffiaesesssBseaB BSBffias ckux hi skan seaeseaeffise-Bg-gaessaBaB Back Row—M.

The Girls’ Glee Club Glee Clubs have existed at Crooksville High School, in name at least, and frequently in pictures for the last four or five years, but none can compare with the present Glee Club. The Club now has the largest enrollment in its history, having a total of forty-two members. As in previous years many of our valuable members were lost through graduation, but new ones came in and filled the places very efficiently. The Club furnished the cast in the C. H. S. operetta, “In Old Louisiana.” Every participant, representing Crooksville, in the Perry County Music Contest, is a member of the Club. The Club was remarkably well accepted at New Lexington and received much praise. After so much good work the Club has a bright outlook for the future, every member having heart and hands set to the great work in the musical art of C. H. S. The Club hopes, in the future, to produce more entertainment for the people and to spread the fame and glory of our Dear Old C. H. S. We are proud of our Glee Club and its Director, Miss Hite, and we hope the Club will never die but be a lasting organization. “In Old Louisiana” Monday evening, December 14, at 8 o’clock, in the high school auditorium the Crooksville High School staged the operetta, “In Old Louisiana,” under the direction of Miss Esther Hite, the music supervisor, assisted by Miss Beulah Lamb. The characters appeared in the lovely colonial costumes of the time of Martha and George Washington.

SYNOPSIS Time—Summer in the year 1852. Act I—Morning Act II—Afternoon of the same day. Act III—The following morning. All three acts take place in Pilot Farley’s garden on the bank of the Mississippi in Louisiana. STORY OF THE PLAY Pilot and a three year old child are the only survivors of the ill fated steamboat “Winona.” The operetta opens when this child, who is known as Rose Farley, has grown to young womanhood. Rose is loved by and returns the affection of Richard St. John, a young sugar planter. Scudder, overseer for Pilot, also loves Rose; because she refuses his attention, he claims Rose is the daughter of an octoroon slave. This leads to a duel between Dick and Scudder. Marquis De La Tour, who proves to be the grandfather of Rose arrives in time to frustrate Scudder’s plans. A love affair between Richard’s sister, Martha, and his friend, Monty Gray, runs through the opera. Public Speaking and Dramatics During the last two years the Department of Public Speaking and Dramatics in Crooks-ville High School has grown at a great rate under the direction of the Principal, Mr. Noble, assisted by the Head of the English Department, Miss Olive Murphy. Last year a general course in Public Speaking was organized in which both experienced and inexperienced students of speaking were enrolled. For the first semester the fundamental principles of oral English were studied. This was followed by a study of argumentation and debate for one group of advanced students; while the other part of the original class made a study of extemporaneous speaking and short plays. This class was conducted by Mr. Noble. At the same time Miss Murphy was teaching a class in Beginning Public Speaking, composed for the most part of sophomores. In this course the elementary and fundamental principles of public speaking were stressed. During the first semester this year a class studied intensively the more advanced principles of expression, closing the term with a series of one-act plays presented before the student body. The members of this group were seniors and juniors. At the close of this course a new class was organized for sophomores, and for upper-classmen who had not already studied the art of Public Speaking. The chief aims of this beginning course are self-confidence, ability to think on one’s feet before an audience, and ability to organize a presentable speech of three to five minutes in length. All English courses in the high school include some training in Oral Composition, so that all students are privileged to learn something of the proper rules to follow in speaking before an audience. Miss Olive Murphy and Miss Beulah Lamb assist in dramatics, by coaching the class plays. There has been some discussion toward forming a Dramatic Club, but as yet the organization has not been effected. When organized it will probably include only upperclassmen who are experienced or especially interested in the study and production of plays. “It Pays to Advertise” JUNIOR CLASS PLAY HIGH SCHOOL AUDITORIUM—APRIL 7, 1926—8;00 P.

Junior Burley and Joseph Hull were the junior high representatives. Junior Burley won third place in the contest. Elizabeth Easier, ’27. won the County Championship last year. Oratorical Contest Miss Lilian Leeth will represent Crooksville in the Perry County Oratorical contest this year. Her oration is “Fear God and Take Your Own Part,” by Theodore Roosevelt. Last year she won second place with the oration “Character of Daniel Webster” by Bayard. With her experience and ability Lilian should win the contest with no difficulty this year. Music Contest On March 16, Crooksville High School held her local Music Contest in the auditorium. The competition was very keen. The ladylike and gentlemanly attitude of the contestants was extremely commendable. The winners of this contest will represent our school in the Preliminary Contest to be held at New Straitsville, April 22, 1926.

The remarks which follow on this page will have to do with those who have graduated from the Crooksville High School and who now make up that organization known as the Crooksville High School Alumni Association. If one is to comprehend the real effect our village school system is having on the lives of those who have shared in its advantages, one must examine the membership roll of the High School Alumni Association. When such an examination is made it will be discovered that graduates of our High School are holding responsible positions in practically every type of enterprise. It must be remembered, however, that what the graduates of our High School have accomplished has been done in a comparatively short time, since it has been only twenty-five years since the first class was graduated. The exceptional success that some of the members of our Alumni Association have carved out reflects great credit on those instructors and executives who have been in charge of our village schools since their beginning. The first classes to be graduated were, of course, small, consisting of from three to nine members. The graduating class this year as was also the case with the last two or three classes, has a membership quite a few times the entire enrollment of the High School in its earlier days. Consequently, along with the expansion of our school system and particularly the High School, the Alumni Association has continued to expand until from the beginning of eight members it has grown to a membership of four hundred and twenty-five, not including the class of 1926. Of all of the young men and young women who have graduated from our school we feel sure there is not one but has profited from the instruction and the associations that were enjoyed from the Crooksville High School. The Alumni Association takes this opportunity to promise the Crooksville High School its perpetual support and express its appreciation for the part it is playing in building character in the young life of Crooksville. To the graduating class as well as those who are to follow, we extend our best wishes and assure them of a cordial welcome into the Association when they have graduated. AN ALUMNUS.

Come, and trip it as you go, On the light fantastic toe; And if I give thee honor due, Mirth admit me of thy crew.” —Milton Echoes From the Class Room 1. I wasn’t here yesterday. 2. That’s torn out of ray book. 3. My nose shiny? Give me your vanity case. 4. I didn’t get the assignment. 5. May I have your attention please? 6. Sit down. That’s enough. 7. Gimme a sheet of paper, gimme a pencil. 8. That’s the part I didn’t understand. There are metres of ice There are metres of stone, But the best of all metres Is to meet her alone. Intelligence. Mr. YVittman—“Why are the Middle Ages known as the Dark Ages?” Annabelle S.—“Because there were so many knights.” Mr. Wittman—“Now, I am going to give you fourteen dates.

A Sunday School teacher was asking her class what was meant by a man possessed of evil spirits. Finally one small boy raised his hand. “Well, Johnny, you may tell us.” Johnny—“Well a man possessed of evil spirits, is a bootlegger.” FRESHMAN JOKES David McF.—“I’m not such a fool as I look.” Paul F.—“No, you couldn’t be.” Harold B.—“I’d like to look at an Encyclopedia.” Librarian—“What do you wish to find?” Harold—“We have to write a paper on Current Events and I’d like to read up a little.” A Freshman stood on the burning deck, As far as I could learn.

The trees might die.” Mr. Wittman—“What’s the greatest nation?” L. West—“Exami-nation.” Dentist—“Thought you said this tooth hadn’t been filled before?” Floyd A. (feebly)—“No, it hasn’t.” Dentist—“Well, there are traces of gold on my instrument.” , Floyd (more feebly)—“Perhaps you’ve struck my back collar stud.” A Sophomore’s Twenty-third Psalm. Mr. Ted Stuart is my teacher. I shall not pass. He maketh me recite my lessons, And showeth my ignorance in class. He restoreth my grief. He sendeth me in the path of unhappiness. For knowledge sake. Yea, though I study geometry forever I shall not pass. For he is with me. His lectures and his theorems they conquer me. He maketh a fool of me forever, Before mine enemies. He covereth my face with blushes, My humiliation runneth over. All the days of my life,. And I shall remain in the geometry class forever.

Please take seats three apart and in alternate rows.” Miss Lamb:—“I believe you missed my class yesterday.” Elsie Wood—“Why, no, not in the least.” “Your daughter, Anne, talks a great deal doesn’t she?” Mrs. S.—“Yes, I think she must have been vaccinated with a phonograph needle.” Patronize Those Who Boost Your School In these last pages appear the names of those persons who are real boosters of C.
