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.

COMING GALLOWAY I want to recommend my Junior Class for elevation to the distinguished rank of Seniors of Crooksvillc High. DILLEHAY—They'll have to get plenty of references to get in here. GALLOWAY—Well, I'll give you plenty of qualifications. DILLEHAY I certainly don't see how they can qualify as my Biddies. Just what do the Juniors do from 8:30 until 3:45? GALLOWAY Why they give me a hilarious day, from Jack Rinehart's regular 8:32 I'm coming. Miss Galloway, I'm coming! to Jim Guinslcr's 3:45 How many deten tions have I got left now? DILLEHAY—A hectic day. I'd say. But go on with your story. What happens after Jack gets there? GALLOWAY Anything could happen hut usually I have to put down a friendly quar rcl between Bob Locke and Lawyer Butts. DILLEHAY But what about chewing gum? You know that's one thing I won't tolerate. GALLOWAY Of course they're well behaved people, otherwise, but if you can get Lloyd Kenny, Gene Wilson and Bill Neff to stop chewing bubble gum you'll be going some. DILLEHAY If they ever get this far I'll stop them, mark my word. What about sports and scholarship? GALLOWAY—Why, there wouldn't be any football or basketball teams if it weren't for the Juniors. They make up practically all of both teams. DILLEHAY So'So—but it's scholarship I'm most interested in.
