History of tbe Senior Class Stop! Look! and Read the History of the Class of 1926. 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.
