address. With all the talent possessed by the Class to draw upon the High School Faculty decided that the out-of-town speaker was not at all necessary. The theme, Our School Is Practical,” furnished the core of the presentation. Jean Swingle, who ranked second in scholarship in the class, greeted parents and friends of the Class and explained the nature of the program. George Allton, the Class President, presided. Jean Brown, who ranked first in the class, acted as moderator for the presentation of the stories of the four departments that had been selected. Edwin Pitcock and Doug Talbot showed how practical and useful high schixtl chern istry was and demonstrated the use of a gas for sky writing in peace times and as a protective smoke screen for war purposes. Louise Carson, assisted by Lois Talbot, Eleanor Sharpe, Dolores Corbett and Gloria Tatman, explained how home economics as taught in Crooksville High fitted a girl to select and make her own clothes, to cook and serve meals, to plan a home and to care for children. Ormond Alwine and Emmett Watts convinced their listeners that the time spent in industrial arts was well worth while. They touched briefly on the history of the subject in Crooksville High and explained what was taught in each class. They gave a brief demonstration of how the new metal-working machinery is used. To show how practical is the work in the Commercial Department, four of the students gave a brief skit of how to apply and how not to apply for a job. The script for this playlet was written entirely by the senior shorthand class. George Allton was the busy executive, Lorena Dunn the proper applicant and Pearl Allen the applicant who put the worst foot foremost. Bonnie Luster explained the scene. Delmar Hoops, himself a Crooksville High graduate but now Vice-President of the Board of Education, presented the diplomas. Superintendent W. Dwight Darling assisted Mr. Htxips and gave the Class a parting message from the school. From the opening overture to the final march all music was our own. Miss Watkins had her usual excellent orchestra and vocal selections from the Girls' Glee Club. The Class marched to the traditional War March of the Priests.”

The Calling Mr. Dugan, Calling Mr. Dugan! Do you remem her those terrible Freshmen that you had your last full year in C. H. S.? Well now they are spick and span, grown up Juniors, soon to be Seniors and take over the top roll in old Crooksville High. In following our military terminology we are calling ourselves the New Guard. We will replace the Seniors, the Old Guard of this year. In the field of sports we have Jack Kellenbarger who plays football, basketball and baseball and works so hard at all of them that we are sure he will be our big three-letter man next year. Albert Weese stars on the hardwood court and is one of the main springs of Coach Osbourne’s Ceramic Nine. He plays first for the baseballers. Blaine VanAtta was our best lineman and Amos Cannon was a ball totter on the gridiron. Harry (Long and Lean) Maxwell played end on the football team. Tewksbury, the “mighty atom,” played basketball and tried out for other sports. He is probably the best informed on the subject of sports that we have in our class. Herman Sturgill and Ted Luster helped in sports via the managerial jobs. We had expected great performances from George Young on the gridiron this year but injury caught him early in the season and kept him out. If its the loud noises from the new music room that worries you don't be alarmed. It's just Hilda Cope, Albert Weese, Marilyn Love, Ruth Ellen McMillan, Joyce Hughes and Barbara Cannon tuning their horns for band practice. They are that mainstay of this year's fine band. Albert's susa-phone and Hilda's baratone especially stand out. In vocal music we put the glee in the Glee Club
