March 14 witnessed a gala affair in the high school gym, when the Student Council feted members of the varsity athletic teams in an evening of feast and frolic. The feast was prepared and served by the Sophomore Home Economics Class, with the frolic consisting of games and skills, supplementing that contented feeling which comes on a person immediately after being well fed. On another occasion, of the Student Council assembly program, Miss Watkins was presented with a new mellophone for the band. This presentation, kept secret until the last, came as a decided surprise to our band instructor. Robert Cope was the successful candidate for Buckeye Boys’ State for the year 1940, with Ronald Butts and Bill Neff runners up. The wisdom of these deliberations was confirmed later, when Bill Neff was selected as Hi-Y representative and Ronald Butts as American Legion representative to Buckeye Boys’ State. In all, the Student Council had a very busy year. They presented an exchange assembly program at New Lexington, an all school dance, two current movie attractions, provided a stimulant for student interest in athletics with a lxx ster emblem campaign, and conducted a sales tax stamp drive that netted nearly $400 worth of stamps. They also col laborated with the faculty in writing “The Aim and Purpose of Cr x ks-ville High School.” Assistance was given to various other departments of the school, namely, the library, museum, and music department.

. . . ATTRACTIONS NEWSFLASH Eighth Grade Has Band! !—The Eighth Grade has more band members than any other class in Crooksville High. Having so many members, it seems they have practically a band in themselves. When they leave the class room for practice, our Dick (Slim Boy) Heath makes up for half of them in size; well, a few of the slim ones anyway. FLASH—Eighth Grade Has Romeo—Max Cannon seems to be our class Romeo as he received more valentines than any other boy in the room. FLASH—Charles (Arguing) Anderson and Marlene (Martha Rayc) Patton keep our class alive with their jokes. FLASH Eighth Grade Students wording for American Legion Award!— Six students have been chosen to compete for the American Legion Award this year. They are: Gloria Campbell, Jean Karns, Patty French, Charles Horn, Donald Moore, and Richard Anderson. FLASH—Eighth Grade Has Prima Donna! !—Lela Allen has sung at the Band Mothers' Tea, Band Concert, Ifka Tea, and The Lions' Club. She is Crooksville High's coming star. Hmmm! ! What hasn’t the Eighth Grade got? Get your tickets now! ! See the Class of '44. Eighth Grade The Follies of 1944 “Long John Price, the Assistant Director of this screen epic, ambled across the long corridor to the Junior High School to do a little talent scouting one day and sought out a member of the youngest class of Crooksville High School, Patty Dee Frazier. Here they are: MR. PRICE: “Miss Frazier, will you enlighten an old man who wishes some confidential information as to the shortcomings of the Seniors five years from now? Does your class show any signs of being active in school affairs, of producing athletes, actors, band members, scholars, etc.? PATTY DEE: “Let's start with the Band. We have four musicians good enough to make the famous C. H. S. Concert Band. They are Doug Cope, Robert Coleman, Betty Lee Chidester, and Madeline Pryor. MR. PRICE: Any one in Student Council? PATTY DEE: Oh yes. Our representatives are J. T. Price and Harriet Sagle. MR. PRICE: I hear you girls played a basketball game with the Eighth Grade girls. PATTY DEE: “Yes, and we won 15 to 12. Jackie Horn was our cap tain. The bright remark of the game was when one of our girls objected to her opponent running around so much that she couldn't find her to guard her. MR. PRICE: “Tell me about your class characters. Who is tallest? PATTY DEE: “Well, I think Harriet Sagle is the tallest, Mary Nelson is the shortest and skinniest, and Joe Neff is probably the fattest. MR. PRICE: “How about Class parties? PATTY DEE: “Oh, we had a lot of fun at our Christmas and Valentine parties. MR. PRICE: Any new members this year or any losses? PATTY DEE: “James Swingle entered during the year and we lost Eleanor Brown, Melva Bateson, Carroll Luster, and Norma Thomas. MR. PRICE: “Do you really think the Class of '45 will ever amount to anything? How can they ever be Seniors? PATTY DEE: “Just you wait and see. We will have the finest class in the long and honorable history of Crooksville High. Your present Seniors will be just old has-beens then. The Assistant Director Does A Little Talent Scouting

SHORT SUBJECTS The Hi-Y Members 1st ROW—Lyons, Butts, Warren, C. Watts, Barker, McLean, Yoder, Price. 2nd ROW J. Watts, Miller, Kenny, Neff, Locke, Hannum. 3rd ROW Smith, Eveland, Crooks, Cope, Bauman, Lemert, Rinehart, Snide. A new policy of admission and a new faculty advisor headline the Hi-Y news of 1939-40. New members could be taken into the organization if and when a majority of the old members gave a favorable vote. Due to the departure of Mr. Fell, the former Hi-Y sponsor, Mr. Amos Snide was assigned to the club as faculty representative and has really been one of the crowd all year. The membership this year included 23 Senior and Junior boys. New members initiated during the first month of school. The terrors of initiation were chiefly in the drinking of a potion of alum water colored with soda pop. The original Hi-Y was a Cleveland High School organization founded in connection with the Y. M. C. A. of that city. Its principal purpose is friendship and fellowship for High School boys. The Crooks-ville chapter divides its attention about equally between service to the school and fun for the members. Meetings this year were held twice monthly, one on school time and one in the evening. Committees were appointed for all activities. The committees of the club that had been selected to decide upon an agreeable point for a trip chose a day’s visit to four penal institutions of Ohio. They sponsored a boy from the Class of 1941 to the American Legion Buckeye Boys State at Columbus. Bill Neff was selected by the club for this honor. The club paid 35 from its own treasury and raised the remaining $10 by solicitation. The club functions not only as social but as a school service organization as well.
