HISTORY OF THE CLASS OF '48 Graduation! Eleven years ago it was but a dream to the Class of 48,' but now it is becoming a reality, for the hurry and scurry of graduation is upon us. We entered the first grade in 1937 and as the years passed, it was soon 1944, and time for us to be promoted to the Freshman year of High School. Instead of being the quiet shy people'Freshmen are supposed to be, we landed with a bang and thought we owned the school. During this year we became ac- customed to the schedules and classes. In our Sophomore year we saw the Beta Club put in our school and because we envied those who were able to join, we worked hard so that we, too, could become members. Soon our Junior year was upon us, and, we must admit, this was the year we really began to feel our importance. During the year, for the first time, our class presented a Iunior Class play, which may become one of the traditions of the school. Also in this year we saw the first issue of our annual go to press. Be- cause railroading is the main industry in our town, the annual was named THE RAILROADER. Then came May Day, an event that had been discontinued during the War. Many of us participated in the exercises. Then a dream came true, the junior and Senior banquet and dance was upon us. How we did work to make this event a success! And now that we are Seniors, the second issue of THE RAILROADER has been printed. The May Day Program with Mary Faye Staples as May Queen and Betty Stone Smith, Maid-of-Honor, took place on May 7. This year our Senior play was Anne Coulter Martens? Tattletale,v published by The Dramatic Pub- lishing Company. It was a huge success! Then came junior-Seniorf, a mem- ory that will probably linger with us for a long, long time. Also, this year, the Seniors were promised a trip as one of their special uprivilegesf, Then, our dream of graduation! In our hearts we are very sad to leave Crewe High School for it has become a part of our lives, but we must leave to take our place as citizens of America and make room for others. Although we, the Class of 48,', have lost many of our comrades and added a few in the upward climb, we wish to express our thanks to the teachers and friends who have believed in us and helped us to make our dream come true. -CATHERINE ANN SCHAUBACH W ---E4 13 law-

Fifty Juniors make up the Class of '49: CORNELIA Cox BARBARA OLIVER LUCY RASH VERDIE LEONARD President Vice-President Secretary Treasurer CLASS Morro: If wisdonfs ways you,d wisely seek, Five things observe with care, Of whom you speak, to whom you speak, And how, and when, and wheref, CLASS CoLoRs: Green and White FLOWER: Red Rose JUNIOR CLASS HISTORY In September, 1938, we, the forty-ninersf, entered the first grade at dear old Crewe school. Here we were taught reading writing and 'rithmetic under Miss Wall and Miss McWirt. We then advanced on to Miss Spencer and Mrs. Faris for our second year of adventure at school. We still thought it was wonderful, and took in everything told us. Our third year was spent under Mrs. Bass and Miss Dixon. All of our free hours were spent in the joy of playing jail and jumping rope. Miss Britton and Mrs. Essie Robertson took hold of us for our fourth year. That year a few of us had the privilege of taking a tour of Williamsburg. The following September we entered the Hfth grade under Miss Mitchell and Miss Dickerson. We could hardly wait for the next year when we should be able to go upstairs with the big boys and girls. Mrs. Willie Short, Mrs. Annie Cobb, Mrs. Ocie Hubbard, and Mrs. Rosa Robertson taught us in the sixth and seventh grades. In the seventh grade many of us were in the operetta given by the music teacher. This was something different in school, but since then, one has been given annually. In the spring, came commencement! Our faces beamed with joy at the very thought of being in high school. Though the fresh- men were supposed to be very meek, we weren't and poor Miss Winn and Miss Kibler tried to tame us down. Our second year in high school was spent under Mrs. DuPriest and Mrs. Hagberg. We were now sophisticated Sophomores and looking forward to our junior year. This being our Junior year, we sold magazines to raise money for the Iunior-Senior Banquet. We presented the Junior Play, He Couldn't Marry Five, during the Hrst part of April. Next year we hope at last, to march down the aisle to the tune of Alma Mater. --H-if I5 its--
