BOARD OF CM. WILSON E.F.GBUBE PBES1DENT CLEC.K EDUCATION Genesis of C. H. S, Twelve CRUX HI SKAN Adam was the first man ever invented, Lived all alone and never was contented, Made out of mud, in the days gone by, And hung upon a fence post for the sun to dry; Then came Eve, she had a little ladder. She shoved it up a tree and was tempted by an adder; She stole two apples they both ate one— Oh, my Lordie! Then the trouble was begun. Then came Cain he looked like his mother, He hunted all over to find himself a brother, Abel didn’t like it that there was another Starting according, he began to kick. So Cain shot Abel in the dome with a brick. Then came Noah, hunting in the dark, Found hammer and nails and built himself an ark, Led in the animals, two by two. The hippopotamus and the kangaroo; Then came an elephant, next a bear, Lastly the fowls, insects of the air. Forty days and forty nights it rained without a stop; The ark became rickety, then began to rock. Jonah went a fishing, he really hadn’t oughter, A whale coming up took him down in the water. After seven days the whale’s stomach got rank, And threw Mr. Jonah right out on the bank. Afterward Columbus, though he was dead broke, Discovered America, then he had to croak. Then came the Spaniards and blew up the Maine, So Uncle Sam knocked spots out of Spain. Then came the pioneers who through the wilderness strode, Cut down the forests and soon the fields are mowed. Wise men soon discovered what a country this might be, So Crooksville grew to be a village as you see; Not only of potteries but of a High School too Called C. H. S. with many students true, And this you’ll see if you are not a fool, Was the Genesis of Crooksville’s new High School. —BARBARA STINSON. Tribute to the Seniors The time has come, when you, the Seniors of ’27 are to graduate. Yours has, indeed, been an excellent class, an exemplary one for underclassmen. As you leave your Alma Mater to scatter to the ends of the earth to take up the silver threads of life—we wish that you may do it as well as womanly as gentlemanly as the work, the record of which you leave on the Tablets of Crooksville High School.

H. S. “Temple of Learning.” Indeed, we (the present class of ’27) were the center of attraction from the very first! When our instructors viewed our class of about eighty members it was plainly shown that they were awed and stupefied by such a quantity. However, as time passed by their respect was commanded by our fertile minds and our high rank of scholarship. Our interest in all activities was evident and remarkable. Being ardent fans we gave a party for the football players, the one outstanding social event of the year. During the late Christmas season we joyously received a new though smaller band of Freshmen who cooperated with us in such a manner that we soon became “fast friends” and colleagues. When we returned the following school year we found that many familiar faces were missing from our former Freshman Class owing to new high schools being opened closer to their homes. Nevertheless, we delved into the school life with a zest and enthusiasm that was unparalleled. Many of our members were prominent in the athletic field and others contributed equally splendid- ly to various other phases of school activities. YVe felt at last that we “had arrived.” The next year we entered as Juniors. In this role we excelled as patrons of all the activities, and as real honest-to-goodness workers for our school. During the latter part of the year we gave the customary banquet for the departing Seniors and were received by them as their honorable successors. As Seniors, we were the acknowledged leaders of the school and the most influential class. How well we have fulfilled our commission is demonstrated by our excellent athletes, public speakers, musicians, etc., and our participation in all the big events of the year. And now, having completed our allotted dispensation, we desire to bid farewell to C. H. S. And as we, the class of ’27, press on to higher and better things, we will ever recall our days spent in the Alma Mater with a singular delight for we know that our affection for it will increase with the years. And last but certainly not least, we earnestly wish that it may prosper with each succeeding year. By ELIZABETH KASLER. Twenty-four C lil'X II 1 S K A X Last ill and Testament of Class of '27 Know All Men By These Presents: The members of the Senior class of nineteen hundred twenty-seven, being of sound mind and memory do declare the following to be our last will and testament, hereby making null and void all other former wills and testaments by us made: Unto the whole school we will the many, many good times we spent among our classmates and faculty. Unto our Principal and teachers we will our fullest measure of good-will, love and friendship, and wish to thank them for the patience and consideration shown us during our sojourn here. To the Junior Class we leave our dignity and diligence hoping they will keep both above reproach as we have done. To the Sophomore Class we leave our good luck in passing to the Junior Class. To the Freshmen we leave our willingness to work—while we were Freshmen. Byron Snell leaves his executive ability to the President of the Junior Class.

Clinton Neff, Floyd Albee, Edith Annon, Georgia Lear, Ruby Conaway, and Denzil Allen will their under classmen the knowledge that there is no year like the Senior year. Kathryn Duncan bequeathes her comic remarks to Rosalie Allen on one condition— that she bobs her hair. In Witness Whereof, the Senior Class of nineteen hundred twenty-seven, do heretofore set our hand this 25th day of February in the year of our Lord, nineteen hundred twenty-seven. Executrix—Miss Murphy. (Signed) THE SENIORS. Per Frances Stanley. Witnesses: Claire Spring. Florence Giles. Elsie Wood. Twenty-six C RUX HI SKAN Senior Class Poem Hello—yes, the class of ’27 Is speaking on the line, No—not the class of ’37. Please do not err in time. The class that honors the magisters Whose minds tend to soar, The one who lightens all the cares; The best class evermore. The brilliant ones who glitter; Like a lump of solid gold, Not the “slacker” nor the “quitter” But, the old gang that will hold. There are basketeers and workers, Football stars and all. There is not one single “shirker” In the classroom or the hall. Pull is our word forever For the teachers and the school; Pull forward, backward never; Helping others—is our rule. Goodbye—we shall depart Leaving space for ’28. With Alma Mater close to heart We will go—lest we’ll be late. —MARGARET YOUNG. vtbj R I' X HI SKAN Twenty-seven Class Prophecy The day had been beautiful and twilight was even more beautiful; the sky was tinted in all her evening glories. But I was tired from working upon the annual and seeking to soothe my restless mind, I tuned in on the radio. I heard soft sweet music and fell into a reverie, thinking that all too soon our High School days would be over and wondering whither amidst earth’s mighty turmoil we, the graduating class would be in a few years. When lo! I heard a strange voice speaking, saying, “This is Station TIME broadcasting. Father Future is going to foretell the lives of all graduating high school classes.” “Surely,” I thot, “my mind is playing a trick upon me.” But no! Imagine my surprise when I heard the so-called Father Future continuing, “First is Crooksville High School.” And as he talked I saw in my mind’s eye pictures of my classmen as he described them. First I saw a large courtroom, Floyd Albee, an eloquent lawyer, was pleading the case of his friend, Elmer Dunn, a well known Senator accused of defrauding the United States government. Tears were in the eyes of many, even the judge, William Earns, seemed moved. Then I saw a beautiful home over which beautiful June roses climbed, and in the doorway Eva Conaway, and I thrilled as she murmured (Oh, how lovingly and softly!) “Harold.” Coming up the path was Elizabeth Easier, a scholar of wide renown perhaps coming to visit her old friend. Slowly this picture faded and I saw a great white hospital and therein I saw three of my old school chums as nurses, Estella Mullen, Ruby Conaway and Mary Sheppard and with the distinguished surgeon, Donald Eoehler. Then I looked upon a great social gathering and I recognized Adrian Dean, Roland Gar- ven, Eatherine Duncan and Violet Pitcock and lastly Byron Snell in whose honor the event was staged, and the principal speaker of the evening was our old principal—Mr. Stuart. Mr. Snell had recently been recognized as America’s foremost business man. On the stage of a large theater I saw Pauline Na Pier and after her singing again and again I saw another come on the stage, Bernice Foraker, one of the world’s leading actresses and called “Colleen the Second,” then entered a dark-haired sheik, Stuart Thomas. At the piano her skillful fingers blending into the music the beauty of her soul sat Mabel Werner. The play fetching drama was taken from Edith Annon’s latest novel, “From the Depths.” Miss Annon is a disciple of Miss Murphy, a novelist and literary critic. Emerging from a picturesque western school I saw the schoolmaster, Denzil Allen, greet pleasantly a dangerous appearing bandit riding brazenly by. It was Donald Hughes. Not far away a great bridge was being constructed with Edgar Elliott as civil engineer and assistants, Eugene West and George Schmotter. Then in a wretched city street Floyd Flanders hailed by many literary critics as Poe’s successor because of his super-natural poetry and like manner of living talked with Clinton Neff, a minister of the gospel, and just then Georgia Lear a social worker, joined them. Next I saw an election day scene. Mabel Blosser and Hazel Wolfe were making stump speeches favoring the election of Margaret Young as state governor. Frances Stanley I saw as a composer of beautiful songs, specializing in love. In a stately, peaceful church a priest innocent, far removed from worldly snares was William Tague. Then to my ears came sweet music, Raymond Spring and Eva Presgrave were playing their violins and sweeter music ne’er was heard. Twenty-eight C RUX HI S K A X Reveling in a fashionable watering place of Paris was Annabelle Stought, the world’s champion tennis player also Ralph Fleming and Raymond Grube, noted opera singers and often singing of Crooksville’s grandeur and several of her girls in particular. Then I saw two young people just getting ready to go on their honeymoon in an airplane just for two! They were Hazel Rambo and Jimmy Kelso. Lastly I saw myself roaming the Arizona hills, a notebook in hand, writing of nature of the beautiful country of the open which I love so much. Again I was lost in reverie and when I aroused myself I heard Father Future say “This is Station TIME signing off at 1:15 A. M. Truly the class of 1927 has a wonderful future and I hope we shall not prove unworthy as graduates of our dear Alma Mater. —BARBARA STINSON.

We have had many trials and temptations, But we have fought them off, you see; And broke right through the high places, too And are ready for the rough sea. It doesn’t seem long since we were Freshmen But the time surely did fly. It just seems only yesterday We were ready to begin in High. We have tried to set good examples, For the other students in school. And we have tried to show them That they must obey the rule. We have now done our part In every way we can So Juniors you will take our place And do as best you can. We are leaving our farewells To all in C. H. S. Everyone be ready to work And always answer, I’ll do my best. —HAZEL RAMBO. c R u x H 1 S K A N Thirty-one Thirty-tm CR U X HI S K A N Junior Class Officers President .........................Lloyd Cope Vice President...........Virginia Cannon Secretary-Treasurer.................Vera Scott MOTTO: “Beyond the Alps lies Italy.” CLASS COLORS Old Rose and Silver VOICE OF 1928 A—stands for admittance at Senior gate.

Great victories shall be told Of that dear class so brave and bold. And when we pass from the Junior Class, We’ll let the Sophomores take our place, And meet our problems face to face. And with our work we’ve had our fun, Ever since the first day school begun. We’ll say with deep regret, Good-bye to dear old C. H. S. We’ll always be identified, With all that’s pure and true and tried, And though the fight be fierce and free Our motto all through school shall be “Beyond the Alps lies Italy.” THE CLASS OF ’28.

C RVX HI s KAN Thirty-five Thirty-six CRUX HI S K A N CLASS OFFICERS President..................Frederick Bonifant Vice President ...............Andrew Hoops Secretary...........Thelma Elizabeth Cannon Treasurer...............Thelma Mae Cannon Sophomore Class History The greatest day of their lives was experienced by the members of the class of ’29 when they entered the Crooksville Senior High School in September, 1925. They all had looked forward to this day of days. Despite the fact they were rather nervous at first, but soon overcame it after they were told to remember that “green” things grow. They did grow and before they realized it, their Freshman year had come to a close. They again entered school in September, 1926, but were no longer timid because they were looked upon as the “knowing Sophomores.” This aroused new ideas and they determined to make the most of opportunity. Although their class is not as large as some others, they have furnished many of their class for the various activities. During the Football season the Sophomores gave Football players as well as the ‘manager of the team.’ The ‘manager of the basketball team’ is also a Sophomore. ‘Andy,’ ‘Widdy’ and Hugh have shown their athletic ability on the Basketball floor. Both boys and girls of the Sophomore class have shown their musical talent by participating in the orchestra and the Glee Clubs. A number also took part in the Operetta, “Miss Cherry Bossom.” It can easily be seen that they have a deep interest in their school and want to show it. Although some haven’t taken any active part in these, they are behind the ones that do take part and are backing them at all times. The Class of ’29 realized that it takes all of these things to make a school better, so “Let’s Boost!” and make it better. By CLARA WISEMAN.

This is the history of the Freshman Class. This fall we started on our career, as High School students. We were somewhat backward and shy amidst the new orders of things. Soon we became accustomed to it and began to love our school and work. We have earnestly tried to do our part in making our High School better. Though Freshies are not supposed to have aims and ideals, we have many. In the years to come we hope to become the “hope” of our High School, both in athletics and scholastic standing. Already in basketball, two of our Freshman girls have taken an active part and we have several excellent scholars among both girls and boys. Thus, we conclude: That we are leaving a fine record for a beginning. Next year with the experiences we have gained this year, sometimes at so great a cost, will aid us toward realizing our aims and ideals. To the Seniors who are leaving, we wish them Godspeed on their journey to success. Grow old along with me! The best is yet to be, The last of school, for which the first was made; Our times are in his hand Who saith, “A whole I planned, Youth shows but half; trust God: see all, nor be afraid!” By DOROTHY GOSSMAN. cRI X HI SK A N Forty-one Luvadelle Aichele Dorothy Allen Ellenn Annon Catherine Bailey Harold Bess Vincie Brown Herberta Brown Wilson Burley Meddlin Cannode Geraldine Cope Gerald Cope Rhea Mae Dawson Bernice Day.

From the raw material and the letter men back from last year the Coach predicted a successful season. After days of hard drilling in sunshine and rain the “Big Reds” went to Bremen and the first game ended 0-0. Coach Cady the next week ironed out the wrinkles noticed in the first game and again we met Bremen. Were we defeated? Well, No!!! The score 7-0. The next week the “Big Reds” motored to Athens and met one of the fastest Class A teams in southeastern Ohio. After a hard MR. CADY fight they tied with them, 6-6. Confident of themselves now the “Big Reds” showed up McConnelsville with a score of 9-3. The next week like the Romans of old they could not be stopped and ran up a score of 24-0 against Dresden. Then they met McConnelsville again and amid rousing cheers from C. H. S. students the “Big Reds” fought as they never did before and the score stood 13-13. The week following they went to New Straitsville again bringing home the bacon by a score of 6-0. New Lexington our old and bitterest rival was met and vanquished to the tune of 7-0 on Armistice Day, and then the following Friday when Junction City came to Crooks- ville, C. H. S. rejoiced over the biggest victory of the season 25-0. The last game of the season and the climax of the football year was played with New Lexington at Crooksville. The score was again 7-0, and the title “Football Champions of Perry County and Southeastern Ohio” was realized for the first time in the history of our high school. Much of the praise brought to us as Football Champs is due to Coach Cady who spent much time and energy upon the field coaxing latent powers to life and work. Captain Snell, along with eight other seniors will be lost by graduation but with “Tumpty” Hughes, Captain-elect at the helm for next year, a successful season is again predicted.

His loss will be felt keenly next year. HUGHES 150 Pounds—Half Back “Tumpty” Captain-elect, terrorized and defeated New Lexington by his spectacular broken field running. He is a triple threat and great things are expected of him next year. ELLIOTT 151 Pounds—Half Back Edgar was always in the midst of the fight and could be depended upon to break up many plays before they were started. He came through with repeated gains when they were needed most. NEFF 184 Pounds—Guard Neff, playing his third year as a regular, played the greatest game of his career. He repeatedly broke through and stopped plays. He was a terror on offense and made great holes in the opposing line. FLEMING 158 Pounds—Guard “Biffo” acquired this name through his aggressiveness on the line. His work in the Athens game was an example. DEAN 150 Pounds—Center “Deanie” proved a valuable man in this position. He had the distinction of never making a bad pass. He also figured prominently on the defense. c RUX HI SKAN Forty-nine KELSO 157 Pounds—Quarterback “Jim” found his natural position both as a ball feeder and carrier. His fakes and timing of plays were always good for gains. Jim leaves us this year. W. DALRYMPLE 135 Pounds—End “Widdy” blossomed out as a real end last fall. He is especially adapt at snatching passes out of nowhere and falling over the goal line. I). HUGHES 162 Pounds—Tackle “Don” served through another season on the line. He gave us everything he had, and the one that fills his shoes must be a fighter. McGUIRE 147 Pounds—Tackle McGuire played his first year as a regular, and proved himself a real lineman. Greater things are expected of “Marvin” next fall. COPE 157 Pounds—End Cope seemed to be a fixture at end. His defensive work was commendable at all times. We bank on “Copie” next year. THARP 142 Pounds—End Tharp uncorked some rare ability as a lineman when called upon. He should develop into a regular next year with no trouble. Fifty C R U X H I S K A N GARVEN 155 Pounds—Tackle “Ron” was shifted about from one position to another early in the season but developed into the best type of lineman. WILLIAMS 130 Pounds—Half Back “Griff” proved himself reliable when he was called to the backfield. He will be available next year. CADY Coach No one is more responsible for our championship team than Coach Cady. It was his untiring efforts and hard work that put the winning: qualities in the Big: Reds. “Good luck next year, Coach.” II. DALRYMPLE 1 Ift Pounds—Tackle Although this was Hugh’s first year at football he played like a veteran. He played a tackle position and played it well. WOODWARD 150 Pounds—Guard During the latter part of the season “Dugan” acquired the fighting spirit of the “Big Red” and promises to be a strong contender next year. CRl'X HI SKAN Fifty-one BASKETBALL Basketball Season Fifty-two CRUX HI SKAN With but two veterans back Crooksville boys had hopes for a very successful basketball season. McLuney was the first county foe to be met and downed. Shawnee gave Crooksville her first defeat the following week in a closely fought game. New Straits-ville another county team, gave the “Big Reds,” the second defeat. Crooksville came to life the next week defeating New Straitsville and McLuney in two closely fought games. New Lexington, Shawnee, Corning were met and Crooksville was defeated in turn. The team reached the top of its form again in the Logan game on the home court. The team was never better during all of the season and dropped the ball through the net from all angles. Crooksville was not to be denied, and Logan never had a chance to win that night. Crooksville traveled to New Lexington where their old rivals defeated them in a very close game. Crooksville easily defeated Junction City on our home floor and the following Tuesday the “Big Reds” were defeated by the Zanesville Reserves, this being the last game before the tournament. Crooksville drew Glenford and played the first game of the tournament. This was a very hard fought game, but the Glenford boys won the victory. With but two regulars leaving and the rest of the squad back next year we are hoping to fare a little better as far as winning more games is concerned but this year no complaints could possibly be made against our boys considering good sportsmanship and, after all, that is what counts both on the basketball floor and in life.

He played a guard postion but proved to be a scoring asset more than once. ROLAND GARVEN—Forward “Ron” played a hard-working game throughout the season and was in top form at its end. We hate to lose you, Garven. MARION GILES—Center “Caesar” was shifted about and finally handicapped with center, but he gave all he had and displayed very good work. ANDREW HOOPS—Guard “Andy” captain-elect was the season’s sensation. He made up in swiftness what he lacked in size. He will be a leader next year. HARRY HUGHES—Forward “Harry” managed to overcome his football tactics early in the season to develop into a regular. He was not a genius but fit into the team work well. WILLIAM DALRYMPLE—Forward “Widdy” is a Sophomore and his experience gained this season will make him a valuable man on the team next year. HUGH DALRYMPLE—Guard “Hugh” proved himself to be a good reserve man. He is fast and has an accurate eye for the basket. LEWIS WILLIAMS—Guard “Griff” served as a good utility man this year. He was always ready to fill in when a vacancy appeared in the line-up. A great deal of credit must be given to Grube, Spring, Wilson, and M. Conaway who gave their time and efforts freely to make a team possible. Grube and Spring are lost through graduation but the others should be heard from next year. IRIX HI 8 K A N BASKETBALL Fifty-six CRU X HI SK.4N The Coaches George W. Stuart, Jr., Coach. Our principal who contributed of his time and services freely for the good of C. H. S. athletics. His leadership manifested itself in the team’s loyalty. With the new rules of a divided court game (modified boys’ rules) he worked out many original plays and by diligent and efficient effort took a team having but one veteran and coached it into a well-deserved championship. Ohio University gave us this splendid teacher and thorough student of the game. Margaret Miller, assistant coach and chaperone. Coming to us from Ohio Northern College, Miss Miller has proved an able assistant who has given much of her time and energy for the team and has been an essential and contributing factor in George W. Stuart lts success- Margaret Miller Resume of Girls’ Basketball Season For the fourth consecutive year the Crooksville High School Girls’ Basketball team was successful in bringing home the championship of Perry County and laying a bona fide claim to the State Championship by virtue of their record. With the championship came the fourth silver loving cup— symbolic of supremacy on the basketball court. The championship team of last year had graduated with the exception of one member, Annabelle Stought, and altho a good season was expected a championship was not anticipated prior to the opening of school but through the splendid coaching of Mr. G. Stuart and his assistant, Miss M. Miller, a team of unbelievable power and much promise made its appearance in the first game, Dec. 10, when C. H. S. defeated McLuney, 16-9. Much enthusiasm was aroused when the Crooksville basketball fans observed the team in action. Dec. 17th, Shawnee with an entire team of veterans came to lower C. H. S.’s colors but were sent home with a 14-9 defeat. The first game abroad was played Dec. 23, at New Straitsville, where the entire squad shared in defeating them, 21-0. After a long rest during Christmas vacation, the team returned to school with the determination to keep up the good work. Consequently on the evening of Jan. 7, New Straitsville was defeated 53-1. The next encounter was with McLuney abroad on Jan 11, and a 22-11 victory was returned. New Lexington was next on the schedule, Jan. 14. Coming to Crooksville with a splendid record they were outclassed at every stage of the game and retired with a 37-11 defeat. Jan. 21 brought with it the Lancaster game—a team undefeated during the year. After a hard-fought battle C. H. S. emex-ged victorious by the score of 17-11. Shawnee after their first defeat decided to obtain x-evenge on Jan. 28 when C. H. S. visited them but Coach Stuart changed his offensive tactics long enough to bewilder them to the tune of 26-10. Logan visited C. H. S. Feb. 5, after having lost a very close game to Lancaster, detei'-mined to defeat the team whose imputation was gaining wide recognition, but were unfortunate enough not to make a single field goal due to supei’b guai’ding, the score being 16-5. With confidence riding high New Lexington was met at New Lexington on Feb. 11, and an over-confident team in a l'adical reversal of form and without the services of its captain for two quarters went down to the only defeat of the year, 13-8. Going into a week of the most strenuous pi’actice ever experienced at C. H. S., a new spirit of team aggressiveness was built up. Consequently Junction City returned home Feb. 18 with a 23-16 defeat after a stirring contest. The journey through the snow on Feb. 19 to Logan pi-oved beneficial altho “some one” hid our basketball and in spite of the fact that during the entire game Logan did not have a single foul called on them, C. H. S. won by the unusual score of 6-4. On Feb. 26 the team departed for the Per-ry County Tournament at New Lexington to compete for the championship against New Sti-aitsville at 10:55 a. m. Appearing in their new unifoi'ms for the first time, they defeated New Straitsville, 23-2, using splendid team work throughout. The team returned home after witnessing the Shawnee- CRUX HIS KAN Fifty -wfTen Moxahala game and remained until evening when they returned to the tournament to meet Shanwee at 7:00 p. m. In a game replete with scintillating passwork. accurate shooting and close guarding by every member of the Crooksville Hi team. Shawnee was eliminated from further participation and Crooksville moved into the finals against New Lexington for the championship. Tuesday evening. March 1. at 7:50 o'clock on the Tournament floor at New Lexington. Ohio, started a game that was destined to make history in girls' athletics in Perry Co. From the opening whistle until the final gun the packed auditorium witnessed a spectacular. hard-fought and brilliantly played game with head work winning out in the end. To name any individual star would be impossible with Captain Stought playing her usual hard and heady game. Blosser with her splendid shooting and floor work. Trout’s excellent guarding. Robinson’s floor work and basket that meant so much and Stinson's great game, the result was inevitable with C. H. S. on the long end of a 12-11 score as the gun sounded the finish and thus the only defeat of the season was retrieved and the fourth consecutive championship was brought to Crooksville. Following the closing game the C. H. S. team and coaches were called to the floor by Mrs. Rachel O. Yaw. County Superintendent. who with a few well-chosen remarks presented a silver loving cup symbolic of the championship to Captain Stought who received it for C. H. S. The season was brought to a close Friday March IS. with the Alumni as opponents. Catherine Taylor captained the following members of former championship teams: Straite. Hail. Smith. Heskett. Watts. Grube and Harper but they could not stop Captain Stought who alone made 2:5 points sending the Alumni down to a 27-11 defeat. During the last quarter. Coach Stuart called each of the three seniors in the order named. Na Pier. Stinson and Stought from the game as a mark of respect to them and a rousing ovation was given them by the spectators as they left the floor for the last time. With the record made C. H. S. girls have presented their claim for the championship of the State of Ohio in basketball as played under modified boys' rules and feel that such state recognition is theirs. A most worthy achievement accomplished by a most worthy team. —PAULINE NA PIER. 1'ifty-eitihl CRUX II I SKAN Back Row—Coach Stuart, H. Rambo, P. Na Pier, E. Annon, R. Tharp, E. Annon, Asst.

Alert, agile, a quick thinker and an excellent floor worker. One of the best girl guards ever seen upon the basketball court. Barbara’s place will be very hard to till. Hazel Blosser—Right, Forward, Junior. Excellency personified in team work. With a pivot that could not be stopped. A capable versatile player, with equal ability at center, or guard and an excellent shot. Hazel was a most important cog in the championship Crooksville machine. She will shine again next year. Dorothy Trout—Left Guard, Junior. Dependable, cool under fire with determination and fight. Dorothy was a tower of strength in the final tournament game against New Lexington and should be a star in her remaining years. Naomi Robinson—Left Forward, Freshman—Clever floor worker and a good shot. Developed first as a guard but won a regular berth as a forward when the opportunity presented itself. Naomi should have a splendid future with three more years available as a player. Juanita Jones—Left Forward, Freshman. At her best with an opponent hanging on her shoulder under the basket. A good shot Juanita gives much promise with three years of eligibility ahead. Pauline Na Pier—Senior. Substitute guard who developed as the season progressed as a dependable guard. Pauline came in to her own in the Junction City game. It is with regret that Pauline is lost to the team through graduation. Ellen Annon—Sub Forward, Freshman. Ellen gave a good account of herself whenever the opportunity presented itself. She will undoubtedly prove valuable to future teams of C. H. S. Ruth Tharpe—Sub Forward, Junior. Loyal and a hard worker who gave her best at all times for C. H. S. Ruth has one more year and should be heard from.

The leading feminine characters for the annual operetta “Miss Cherry Blossom” were chosen from this club and some extraordinary talent was exhibited. This Glee Club should, in the near future develop into one of our leading musical organizations.

Among the various musical enterprises undertaken in C. H. S. this year, the Bovs’ Glee Club was one of the most successful organizations. From its place of minor importance it has developed into one of the leading features. The boys in the cast of the operetta were chosen from the members of the Glee Club. The success of the Club is due to the interest of the students and the co-operation given Miss Hite, their director.

Music and Drama Sixty-eight CRUX HI S K A N The music department has indeed performed miracles this year—if we can judge by the voices “before and after” practice. The operetta has been accomplished in training voices of the students. Even those of us who can’t boast real voices, yet are able to say that we are improving. Those who have heard us sing probably agree with Shakespeare that music can calm the savage! The drama is rapidly taking its place among the important events. The Junior High School worked for hours on their play and finally gave an excellent presentation. This practice among the younger students is aiding the Senior High School by furnishing for plays—boys and girls who are accustomed to the footlights. MR. HOFFMAN Who has aided us in organizing an excellent orchestra. In both the Senior and Junior Class Plays the actors and actresses have been chosen purely for their own merits. All were given a chance at the try-outs. The boy or girl who was best fitted for the part was chosen. So many have been interested and so many have proved their worth that in many cases it was a most difficult ta k to decide whom to choose. In the past we have been called upon to exhibit our talents upon the athletic field. We have had to prove our capacities for learning in the classroom, and now we are asked to show our appreciation of art by appearing before the public in song or speaking parts—thereby acquiring a certain poise and a cool calmness that will prove useful to us not only in school but in life. Only a few years ago music and the drama were unknown in the public school, but now they are acquiring a very important place in our curriculum. We are hoping that in the years to come students will receive the same credit for their so-called ’’extra curricular activities” that they have always received for the three R’s. C RUX Hi S K A N Sixty-nine Senior Class Play “Nothing But the Truth,” a comedy in three acts, to be given by the Senior Class under the direction of Miss Boner and Miss Westerfield, Thursday night, April 21, 1927. ----- THE CAST ------- Robert Bennett E. M. Ralston Mrs. E. M. Ralston Gwendolyn Ralston Ethel Clark Dick Donnelly ...... Bishop Doran ... Mabel Jackson Sable Jackson Martha Clarence Van Dusen Roland Garven ....Adrian Dean Edith Annon Violet Pitcock Bernice Foraker Ralph Fleming Garmon Conaway Mabel Blosser Hazel Wolfe ...Eva Conaway Floyd Flanders STORY OF THE PLAY Robert Bennett, a young stock salesman, dares to bet that he can tell the truth for twenty four hours and on this bet he stakes ten thousand dollars which his fiancee, Gwendolyn Ralston, has collected for charity. Gwen’s father, E. M. Ralston, has promised to double any amount that she can raise for the summer home for children and she is sure that Bob can do this. Bob manages to tell the truth to his partners, Donnelly and Van Dusen, without serious results but the business suffers when the Bishop and others clients inquire about the stock. All of them are invited to the Ralston’s summer home where Mrs. Ralston, Ethel, Mable and Sable, and Martha make life miserable for the truthful man. It seems that he will soon lose all his friends as well as the ten thousand. The twenty-four hours pass; he has earned the money (as well as winning it) ; he tells five lies in less than a minute and all are believed. He is right with the world once more.

A SHORT STORY OF THE PLAY Miss Evelyn Barnes, an American girl, born in Japan, and whose parents die of fever, is brought up as a Japanese maiden. Her father’s secretary uses her property for his own ends. When Evelyn, who is known as Cherry Blossom, is about 18, Worthington (the secretary), returns to Japan on his yacht with a party of American friends. One of them John Henry Smith, falls in love with Cherry and wishes to marry her, but Kokemo who had brought her up as his own daughter, wants her to marry Togo, a rich politician. The action of the piece centers around Jack’s efforts to outwit Togo and Kokemo. Eventually Cherry learns her true identity, comes into her own property, marries Jack and all ends happily. From the Girls’ and Boys’ Glee Clubs, the choruses were chosen. Geisha Girls in Kokemo’s Tea Garden— Florence Giles, Herberta Brown, Eva Conaway, Elizabeth Kasler, Thelma Cannon, Ann E.

Seventy-four CRUX HI S K A N Social Activities CARNIVAL Crooksville High School changed the usual order of things this year and staged a carnival the last week in October. The various booths were arrayed in riotous colors and attracted the evcited crowd. Seniors fished at the fish pond with the “younger generation” from the Junior Hi and all were rewarded with nibbles satisfying to the eye and in some cases to the stomach. The weight of so many prizes actually staggered some of the more fortunate; ice cream and hot dogs disappeared equally fast and at last every one was tired enough to sit and rest. The resting part was easy, it was done in the study hall. And who couldn’t rest with the Girl’s Glee Club to entertain him? They were minstrels ’tis true, but any one could recognize Anna Elizabeth, Thelma, Bonnie, Eva, Beatrice, Phyllis and all the others by their voices that Miss Hite had keyed “specially right” for this event. Miss Murphy did her part by serving: “The Royal Order of Ham and Eggs” at exactly the proper time. Senior girls were efficient “waitresses” and actresses. Pumpkin pie and cider went down quickly and were forgotten long since but the confetti we have with us always, even until our clothes have worn out and have gone to the rag bag. High School Chapel The graduating class of 1927 will take many pleasant memories with them but we hope that the thoughts that remain longest will be about the assembly periods that we spent together. As one family we have met at least once a week in our auditorium. Sometimes we have had special programs and music as we did at Christmas and at Thanksgiving. At other times we have been entertained by a man who has traveled and has come back to tell us what he has seen. Mr. Albert Smith took us on a very interesting trip to Alaska one morning; in fact we were so interested that we did not want to come back for dinner. The ministers from the different churches have been very kind and generous with their time, coming whenever invited to lead our devotional service and to talk to us. Many times we have our own Mr. Stuart, and occasionally Mr. Stage. We open the hour by singing “The Star Spangled Banner” or another patriotic song and then repeat the Lord’s Prayer. There are always announcements to be made and plans to be discussed for the coming week. Chapel exercises are becoming regular events in our lives. We look forward to them with much enthusiasm and interest. We not only have the chance to display our talent but we are learning that most important of all things, to be good listeners. May our assembly periods always hold this place in our school life. CRUX HI SKAN Seventy-five Senior Parties On Monday night, February 14, the Senior Class entertained with a delightful mixed program. The hall was beautifully decorated for the ocoasion in a color scheme of red and white in honor of St. Valentine’s Day. The first feature of the evening was social conversation. At nine o’clock a four-piece orchestra, three of these former Crooksville High graduates, Ned Watts, Gerald Cross, and Clarence Weese, and David McFarland, a sophomore, played for the dancing which continued until evelen o’clock. Lunch was served at eleven thirty. Menu consisted of sandwiches, pickles, brick ice cream with heart center, cakes, and punch. Miss Murphy, Miss Spencer, and George W. Stuart acted as chaperones. A very enjoyable evening was spent by all. The committees were: Decoration, chairman, Frances Stanley. Committee, Violet Pitcock, Bernice Foraker, Kathryn Duncan, Edgar Elliott, and Adrian Dean. Menu: Chairman, Estella Mullen; Committee, Mabel Blosser, Pauline Na Pier, Roland Garven, and Ralph Fleming. We are hoping to have a new social regime in the High School by introducing High School Mixers. The Senior Class gave a party on Thursday, evening, March 17, in honor of the Basketball coaches, Miss Miller, Mr. Stuart and Mr. Cady. Almost the entire class attended as well as the majority of the teachers. A delightful evening was spent by all. A five piece orchestra furnished music for those who wished to dance, while the rest played cards. The hall was decorated in green and white in honor of St. Patrick’s day. At eleven o’clock refreshments were served consisting of brick ice cream with shamrock center, shamrock cakes and punch. We are indebted for the decorations to Mabel Blosser, chairman; Violet Pitcock, Bernice Foraker, Frances Stanley, Kathryn Duncan, Pauline Na Pier, Adrian Dean and Roland Garven. Refreshments: Eva Conaway, chairman. Mabel Werner, Eva Presgrave, Estella Mullen, and Anna Belle Stought. —FRANCES STANLEY. Seventy-six CRUX HI SKAN Football Banquet The annual Football Banquet given in honor of our championship team at the Methodist Church on Tuesday night, December 1, 1926, was a huge success. It was very largely attended by the people of Crooksville interested in this form of athletics. A delightful dinner was served. The menu consisted of: First course, soup; second course, mashed potatoes, chicken and gravy, creamed corn, salad and coffee; third course, ice cream with football center and cake. Those present praised the splendid service they received from the following Senior girls: Violet Pitcock, Frances Stanley, Bernice Fora-ker, Kathryn Duncan, Estelle Mullen, Mabel Werner and Pauline Na Pier. The dinner came to a close and Mr. Stuart, the toastmaster, introduced the first speaker of the evening, Don Peden, the football coach of Ohio University, Athens. The second speaker was B. T. Grover, the Basketball coach of Ohio University. Third, 0. C. Bird, director of Athletics also from Ohio University. Remarks were made by Coach Cady, Capt. Snell and Capt-elect Hughes. Through the auspices of the Boosters Club, gold footballs were presented by Don Peden to the following boys: Byron Snell, Edgar Elliott, Harry Hughes, William Dalrymple, Hugh Dalrymple, Lloyd Cope, Delver Garven (Mgr.), Clinton Neff, Ralph Fleming, Marvin McGuire, Adrian Dean, Donald Hughes, Roland Garven, William Karns, James Kelso. Basketball Banquet On Tuesday evening, April 12, at seven p. m. in the spacious dining room of the Home Economics Department of Crooksville High School, a banquet was given in honor of the Girls’ Championship Basketball Team and Coaches which made such a splendid record. A short talk was given by Supt. J. E. Stage and by the boys’ coach, Mr. Cady. Miss Miller, assistant coach spoke briefly concerning the successful season then introduced Coach Stuart who spoke upon the value of athletics in the development of the individual, closing his talk with a tribute to those who made such a successful season possible. He then presented each member of the team with a silver basketball mounted on a pedestal, emblematic of their contribution toward a championship team. Each trophy had en- graved upon it the name of the player, date, position played and championship 1927. Captain Annabelle Stought responded for the team with a short talk. Miss Stought was then presented a silver loving cup symbolic of the championship of the United States in individual scoring for the season of 1927. Her record is thought to be the highest ever made by a girl in a season of sixteen regularly scheduled games. Next year’s Captain-elect, Dorothy Trout, was then introduced. Following people were present: Mr. Dan Hoops, who served efficiently as referee; Dr. A. E. Lawrence, team physician, whose services were rendered gra-tutiously, Mr. Ray Fox and Mr. Carl Spicer. —FRANCES STANLEY. CIUX HI SKAN Seventy-seven Oratorical Contest On Thursday afternoon, March 18, the candidates for the oratorical contest appeared before the high school students and faculty. The program was as follows: American Motherhood, Hazel Wolfe; The Constitution, Denzil Allen; Character, Ralph Fleming; Theodore Roosevelt, Garmon Conaway; American Motherhood, Hazel Rambo; Our Flag, Byron Snell. Miss Coulter, Miss Spencer and Miss Boner were appointed judges and graded the speakers in presentation, enunciation, pronunciation and enthusiasm. Hazel Rambo received the highest number of points and Byron Snell the second highest. March 26, our contestant took part in the County Oratorical Contest at New Lexington. Those present from Crooksville were very well pleased with the decision—but it certainly could not have been decided otherwise. Hazel was at her best; her voice could be heard distinctly in every part of the room; her pronunciation and enunciation were perfect; and best of all—she was perfectly at ease. She appealed to her audience and made friends with them at the beginning. Every one seemed to feel the enthusiasm that she created by her gestures and by her very position on the platform. Prof. W. N. Cooper, head of the Department of Public Speaking, Ohio University, Athens, was the judge; for all others his criticisms were necessarily destructive—but for Hazel his comments were only complimentary. In Crooksville High School we have had girls who are good students and girls who are good athletes—and now Hazel Rambo has given us the right to claim an orator. Hazel’s success is due largely to the exhaustive and excellent training supplied by Miss Murphy. Spelling Contest The result of our High School Spelling Contest was as follows: (1) Elizabeth Easier; (2) Junior Burley; (3) Margaret Young; (4) Eva Conaway. So again Elizabeth represented C. H. S. at New Lexington, March 26, and we were all very hopeful that she would “bring home the bacon” as she did two years ago. Therefore we were somewhat surprised when she came second, but that is a feat to be proud of. Crooksville could not be expected to win all county contests though we have won most of them this year. Crooksville is rapidly becoming noted as one of the best high schools in Southeastern Ohio.
