I guess being from Hamburg and kinda new to this board, I have a question about Crossett every once in a while. This one is, where did Crossett schools come across the name of the yearbook "The Termite"? That has always kind of puzzled me, but I'm from Hamburg, so what do I know?

I'm pretty sure that it's a reference to the wood-products industry.
This is kind of interesting (at least I think so): Where I went to college, our mascot was the Redskin. At least it used to be. So everything was based around that Redskin mascot...the yearbook was "Arrow," the announcements circular was the Drumbeat, the newspaper was The Reveille Echo. Seems like something else was the Bugle. We had an annual talent show called Pow Wow. Etc. etc.
Because the politically-correct backwash over native American mascot names, "Redskin" went out the window in the late '90s after I graduated, and my alma mater became the Crimson Storm. I'm not even going to get into what that brings to mind, but anyway, all of those names don't make sense anymore because they all had been tied into the old mascot name.

It's the only yearbook in America with that name.

Eddie, I'll take that to mean that CHS's yearbook is "unique" lol. But, of course, I'm sure there's a reason that nobody else named their yearbook what we did.
