Private Ada museum goes virtual thanks to ONU history students

Posted by Staff on Saturday, January 28, 2023

Students in Russ Crawford's HIST 2771 Digital History class created a virtual museum to house images of objects that Ada resident Lee Crouse has collected over the years. Crouse began acquiring his materials during a 1995 class reunion. According to Crouse, "How this come about, I don't really know... It just kept growing. There's not hardly a week goes by that we don't find something. It's fun, and it just grows. You don't know what's out there. Some people say 'You got everything?'" Crouse answered, "Apparently not."

In addition to Crouse's items, students also added images of artifacts that the HIST 2901 ONU at 150 class taught by Crawford and David Strittmatter for the university's sesquicentennial in 2021.

The spunky Ada High School girls basketball team battled 11th-ranked Crestview toe to toe in the first half, but eventually got fatigued and fell 53-26 in a home Northwest Conference contest Thursday night, January 26.

The Bulldogs trailed just 26-17 late in the first half before Crestview put on a 12-0 run bridging the second and third quarters to put the game out of reach.

Ada dropped to 9-9 overall and 0-6 in the NWC after having their three-game win streak snapped. Meanwhile, Crestview improved to 13-4 and 5-2 in the NWC with the win.

"Our first half was good except for one negative, defensive rebounding," said Ada head coach Zach Ricker. "We gave up too many second-chance points."
