The Crux - Hi flcatfetnif 4or ityAQ ☆ ☆ ☆ ☆ ☆ To The C. H. £.Can 4 To our own Crooksville High Marching and Concert Band and to its director. Miss Mary Watkins, the best music teacher in the state, the Crux-Hi-Skan Staff presents our 1940 Ceramic Academy Award, this dedication page of our Hx)k. Each year this award is made to some one or some group that has done an outstanding service to our school. This year it’s the Band. On the concert stage, on the football field, at New Lexington, at Roseville, at the Logan contest, and at the Ohio State Fair, our red and black clad bandsmen were our pride and joy. We, the Critics, base our decision on the Band’s splendid performance at the three concerts and for the exchange assembly program given at New Lex High. To give this award to a group so young as this may be unusual, but they have the talent for good music and the stage pres ence of old troupers. We especially honor Miss Watkins, who has in her four years at C. H. S. Built a band from the ground up. She can play any instrument in the band as well as her xylophone or the piano. We feel that in this moving picture of our school life the Band and Miss Watkins arc as deserving of our Academy Award as that other English girl, Vivien Leigh, is of the “Little Oscar for her performance in Gone With the Wind. With new uniforms the goal of the Band Mothers’ Club our musical organization should go on winning the plaudits of the school and town. Credit must be given to the Mothers under the leadership of Mrs. A. C. Lawrence for their help in buying instruments and in every way backing the Band.
