TIm v Will Fill tlio Hanks • REPLACEMENTS—(Sophomores) At-ten-shun! Salute the Replacements of Crooksville High School, the Sopho-more Class. Last year this company led the honor roll almost every time and they are proudly marching at the head of the ranks this year, having been leader the last two terms. What would our Varsity and Reserve basketball teams have been without M x re, Horne, Greene, Fauley, Robinson and Ross in there pitching for us? What would our cheering section have been without Patty French, Maxine Levering, Nellie Jane Cannon living up to a tradition of leadership? Much talent is shown in this detachment. Four outstanding examples are Kathryn Watts and Betty Sue Williams, Prince of Peace contest winners, and Lela Allen and Joanne Baker, singing stars. Our class has actors, too. This year, instead of the usual one-hour program, the class of ’44 presented three short one-act plays. The student body selected by vote the play they liked best. The play chosen was a mountain melodrama starring Dona Lue Bess and Charles Ross. With such accomplishments as these, our class knows that it will produce more entertaining plays in coming years. Every Sophomore has shown some outstanding talent so anchors away three rousing cheers for the Replacements! THE AWKWARD SQUAD (Freshmen) Yes, we are the awkward squad, but we have accomplished enough to show that we aren't as awkward as some classes that are just getting a start. Ours is a very active class. This year we have had two parties under the able leadership of our class officers who are Harriet Sagle, President: Jimmy Young, Vice President; Jimmy Swingle, Secretary-Treasurer; and our teachers, Mr. Stein and Miss Crabtree. We freshmen are represented in Student Council by Royal Gorbey, Doug Cope, Ruth Fauley, Maxine Atkins, and Harriet Sagle. Although we are new recruits, our training and diligent work is shown by the number of students we have on the honor roll. We are also helping Uncle Sam by buying Defense Stamps and we rank high in the contest. Guess who we have in sports? Bill Wilson, Tommy Moore, Gerald Watts, Royal Gorby, Nick Justice, Tommy McKinney, who scored the first touchdown of the year, and Butch Baughman, our basketball star. When you hear sweet music from the band it probably comes from Ruth Fauley with her flute. Others in the band are Robert Coleman, Doug Cope, Max Cannon, and Betty Chidester. And now, last but not least, our cheerleaders. They are Jackie Horn and J. T. Price. J. T. is also Drum Major for the band and he does a very good job of it. You can readily see that our class is going some place, with its cheerleaders, band members, football and basketball players, and student council members and we're sure we will not be called an Awkward Squad next year.

Our Future Recruits 1. We're the first grade of the North School. Undoubtedly, our most outstanding talents were revealed when we took part in the annual North School assembly at the High School. 2. Are they afraid on just shy second graders? Maybe it's the photographer? 3. One of our second grade classmates, Glee Showers, gave the closing lines of the North School program. Many of us sang in the chorus. 4. It seems Eddie He Kips will defend anyone there or at least try. Why doesn’t someone take him up on it? 5. Our mascot is in the picture with us. All the teachers think we will make promising high-school students. 6. Some seem to he attracted to other things. We're going full speed ahead for greater ranks! We t xik part in the East School Assembly, mainly our classmates, Rex Luster and Marjorie Donaldson. 7. Attention! We are the seniors of the North School. We have worked hard these four years, and we hope we can continue our accomplishments when we enter high school, as the class of 1950. 8. We help the sixth grade, with the safety patrol. Ruth Moore, our talented fellow student, plays the trumpet and sings as our contribution to the assembly. 9. Smiling sweetly, the first grade pose for a picture. With such willing and seemingly intelligent people we expect to accomplish much. 10. No elaborate plans give us a send-off when we graduate from the East School and go to the Junior High.
