CROOK COUNTY HIGH
PLANNING BIG YEAR
Attendance Will Perhaps Be
Greateit on Record.
SCHOOL FOURTEEN YEARS OLD
Initial Clan Numbered Thirteen
Now Beit High School in
State.
The Crook Gumty High School
will ojH.-n what will no doubt prove
to bo its biggest school ycur on
Monday, September 11.
Many who have gone to other
schools will be in attendance on the
opening day for the reason that
they have found the C. C. H. S.
to be better in many rexpecta than
any other high school in Oregon.
The above statement is not with
out ample foundation. Thin school,
which was founded with an initial
class of 13 in 1002, has grown to
an average attendance of over 150,
and has advanced step by step until
last year they produced a team
which won over all opponent and
was champion of the state in de
bate. lno proposition of organizing
the school was taken up early in
1902, and was submitted to the
voters on June 2 of that year. The
vote stood 651 for and 323 against
the establishment of the school and
the erection of the main school
building.
From that beginning the school
lias grown until today, with the
above record for debate, and good
records for athletic achievement,
the school has three buildings,
all of which nro crowded to ' capa
city. On the opening of the school in
1902, the class was cared for by
Principal Orton of the public
schools in addition to the instruc
tion of the eighth grade class.
Today there are eight instructots
from various of the, best training
schools in the Union, experts every
one in their line, and a good work
ing education, one that is above the
average, may bo obtained in this
school with an honest effort on the
part of the student.
Concerning the variety of courses
offered, the board has the fol
lowing to say in their booklet,
"Course of Study and Announce
ment" which was recently issued
from this office:
"In order that students and
patrons may not feel that the
school requires subjects that are
useless and unnecessary to their
best interest, the number of re
quired subjects has been consider
ably decreased and the privilege of
election on the part of the students
lias been extended. In granting
this privilege the faculty has exer
cised caie to offer no elective sub
ject that will lower tho standard of
the school.
There are six distinct courses
offered, viz: English, Scientific,
Commercial, Normal, Domestic
Science and Art, and Manual
Training. Besides the courses
mentioned above, courses in public
speaking and debate will be offered
Any student who desires to elect
the study of music and devote one
hour each day to practice will re
ceive two semester credits each
year for same. Provided that no
student ehall receive credit for the
studj of music except by the author
ity of the superintendent.
The student may elect either of
the six courses. A diploma from

State University or to any uni

subjects at one time.
No student will be permitted to
sign up for more than four sub
jects without the consent of the
faculty.
Students must show capability of
succesfully handling additional
work before the privilege may be
granted to them.

cessful work in a subject, and
thirty-two credits are required for
graduation.
Credit will be given for proof of
successful work done elsewhere.
No student who is not carrying
full work, earning passing grades,
nor exemplary in deportment, will

Clarence D. Rice, a student of
O. A. C. who went to Butte. Mon-
, tana, with some mining engineer
ing students to work in the mines
during vacation, received a slight
injury to one of his hands. After
being dismissed by his physician he
decided to take a trip through
Yellowstone Park, as he was still
unable to work. His letters of its
wonders are very interesting. On
his return to Oregon he will stop
at Coeur d'Alene, Idaho, to visit
his sister, Mrs. L. F. Wing.
