B CLUB American History Honor Students BOTTOM ROW, Left to right— Nelson, McIntyre, Wintgens, Klingler; Advisor, Miss Dillehay. MIDDLE ROW— Heskett, Baker, Sharp, Atkins, Bradshaw. TOP ROW— Hammers, Burley, Roush, Fauley, Brown. The honor club of the American History class is unusually small this year, not because of lack of interest in history but because of the small class. The attendance has varied from three to fourteen. Most of the programs were put on by the club members but one very interesting guest speaker was invited in during the year. Mr. Harold (Slim) Showers kept the club members so interested that they almost forgot to go home telling of his experiences in Africa and Asia and of his work among the stars of Hollywood. Of course the girls were full of questions about Van Johnson, Frank Sinatra, etc. The club project for the year has been raising funds for an honor cup to carry annually the name of the outstanding American History student. The club was organized some sixteen years ago by Miss Carolyn Dillehay as an incentive for better work in her favorite subject. The officers for 1946-47: President—Dolores Sharp. Vice-president—Rose Marie Atkins. Secretary-Treasurer—Maurice Fauley. Reporter—Betty Klingler.

Student Council Functions Again After a three year lapse the Crooksville Student Council functioned again in 1946-47. Mr. Darling called for elections early in the school year and all classes from the Seventh Grade thru the Twelfth sent representatives. The Council organized according to the constitution adopted in 1930 with Jim Burley, Class of ’49, as president; Dick Spencer, ’47, vice-president, and Nancy Pitcock, 49, secretary. Mr. Worthington was elected faculty advisor. Of the many problems handled by the Council the matter of letter awards for athletes was probably the most important. The old system of accumulative credits leading to the varsity letter near the end of the athlete’s senior year was discarded in favor of a letter for each sport to be awarded after the first season that the player participated fully in a sport. Service stripes are to be added for subsequent years of participation. The Council turned down, emphatically, the suggestion that the honored name, “Ceramics,” be discarded in favor of Black Bears or some other animal designation. The student governing body also helped in the selection of CRUX-HI-REVU as the name for the new school newspaper. The problem of wearing slacks was discussed and carried to the front office where the decision was made the substitution of slacks for dresses for the girls was not to be encouraged but that the final decision as to how students dress rests with the parents.
