True, we haven’t trekked across the nation in search of gold. Our manner of dress is as different from that of the first ’49 ers as the Norfolk Western’s Powhatan Arrow is from the early prairie schooners. But we too, will complete a journey in ’49. Ours has taken us eleven years, and we are nearing its completion—that day when we shall receive our high school diplomas. This book which you are about to read is our memory book of the scenes along the way. The. pioneers of 1849 could not have amassed as many pictures as we have here and we are grateful that modern photography has made it possible for us to record the faces of so many of our friends. As in any memory book, we have made notations and comments. The members of the Staff join with me in saying, “We hope you’ll like it.” The Editor. -4 3 ) - FACULTY T. P. Harwood A.B.

Five things observe with care; Of whom you speak, to whom you speak, And how, and when, and where.” A SHORT HISTORY OF THE ’49 ERS by Bobby Redford As Freshmen in ’45, we started upward with deep interest, to our pinnacle of hope, “Seniorship.” Everything was new and confusing to us. For weeks we scurried around like rabbits, always going to the wrong place at the wrong time. The first of the year, we were so quiet and shy that the rest of the school hardly knew we were alive, but after a few months we learned our way around and became adjusted to our new environment. The second lap of our four-year stretch, our Sophomore year, was even harder. There we began to learn foreign languages and encounter numerous tests, long home work assignments, and began to realize the seriousness of those “mental-breaking” exams encountered twice a year. Our third year proved to be more difficult still. Here, we started to use our own judgment about our work and play. We had lost a few friends along the way, but had gained some from the class before. In this year most of us were taken into clubs and began taking parts in sports and other school activities. Our Junior Play, “He Couldn’t Marry Five” will long be remem¬ bered by the ’49 ers. We sold magazines so that we could give the Seniors their annual Junior-Senior Banquet and Dance. The day of the big dance, we started early to decorate the Center, and by evening had transformed it into a lovely garden setting. A delicious banquet was served by the ladies of Southside Grange. The dance which followed was equally enjoyable. We had worked hard, but it was worth the effort, for such events help bring the Junior and Senior classes closer to¬ gether and make for lasting friendship and cooperation between them. Following “Junior-Senior,” we turned our attention once more to those dreaded examina¬ tions. A few failures lessened our ranks, but September, 1948, found us entering upon our last year in C. H. S. We are sorry that as this, our Annual, goes to press, it is too early in the school year to record the concluding events of our class. We can only say that we are all looking forward to the next few months which will bring to a close our sojourn in C. H. S.

What we ve learned we will never forget For in our hearts and minds the knowledge is set, For the things we’ve learned have guided our aim To be released for our worldly gain. It is to us, the world will turn As in our minds, the great wheels churn, To better ourselves, our children and our fellow mar In all the strife, and turmoil of the land. Thanks to our faculty, family and friends Who have helped us to start our life long trends Their patience, devotion, and kindly hand Have paved our way toward a better land. We are the ’49 ers. — Lucy Rash -«f 14 fr- CLASS OF 1950 Ann Perkinson President Eva Mae Williamson Beverley Draucker Llewellyn Flippen Ralph Afflerbach Vice-President Secretary Treasurer Reporter Class Colors: Gold and Blue Class Flower: Carnations Class Motto: “A winner never quits and a quitter never wins ” JUNIOR CLASS HISTORY In September, 1939, we the class of 1950, entered Crewe Public School with a very large enrollment. Our seven years in grammar school were happy ones but uneventful until we reached the seventh grade. It was then through the efforts of Mrs. Hubbard and Mrs. Robert¬ son that we were given the opportunity to take a trip to Washington, D. C. Then it was June and we were presented our diplomas from the grammar grades into high school. We were very excited over the thoughts of being in high school—something we had all looked forward to and worked for since we entered grammar school. While we were Freshmen we had as our sponsors, Mrs. Hodnett and Miss Winn. This was the first time we had been organized as a class and had an election of officers. This was the year that the first annual in Crewe High School went to press and the first year that a May Day was presented by high school students. It was also during our Freshmen year in high school that a band was organized. By this time we had advanced quite a way but had only 41 left with us. It seemed a long time but finally we became Sophomores with an enrollment of 37. Mrs. DuPriest and Mrs. Hagberg were our Sponsors and again we had an election of officers. There were quite a few changes in the faculty that year, and again we had to get used to new teachers. Now we have reached our Junior year of high school with only 29 left in the class. This year most of the juniors had the privilege of taking a trip to Williamsburg with the History III Class. Our magazine campaign which was launched for the purpose of raising money for the Junior- Senior banquet and dance was a big success and with the kind of help of Mrs. Hutcherson and Mr. Pollard, the Junior sponsors, we were able to make a grand success of our Junior Play, “Kay Beats the Band,” which was presented in December. As this article goes to press, we are eagerly anticipating the Junior-Senior Banquet which will be the next eventful happening in our high school career. 15 ►- JUNIORS Carroll Atkinson Wesley Beamer James Bennett John Brooks Muriel Caldwell Mac Cass ad a Harold Cunningham Jane Elder Peggy Flowers Sally Hughes Bobby Knotts Jeanne Lewis -4 16 }S— JUNIORS Lucille Lewis Francis Long Geneva Lunsford Janice Lunsford Mildred Morton Frank Pond Francis Retd Alice Joy Schaubaoi Charles Shell Mary Lou Shell George Verser -• :( l” ? - John Walker CLASS OF 1951 President .

This year under the direction of Miss Dorothy Branson, they presented a Christmas Concert in which was given an impressive rendition of “Twas the Night Before Christmas”. In the spring, Miss Branson plans for the club to again enter the festival and also give a concert at home. Our Glee Club has become a very helpful and enjoyable extra-curricular activity. - { 31 } - VARSITY CHEERLEADERS Jane Elder Edna Eanes Courtney Jones Jacque Bates Barbara Oliver Audrey Clingenpeel (Not shown—Lou Shell THE 1948 RAILROADERS ENDS Carson Payne Mac Clingenpeel Bobby Knotts TACKLES Freddie Roberts Buck Shell Spooky Jackson Francis Long GUARDS Jim Bennett Bobby Redford Boo Carter Irving Arnold Dick Allen CENTERS Winston Crannis Ulmont Ison Clarence Van Hoy MANAGERS: Bill Jackson and Frank Pond BACKS Bill Prince Ralph Afflerbach Donald Moore Pete Umholtz Ernest Vanarsdall Bobby Wilson Sonny Tunstall Mac Cassada COACH: R.

On the following pages, mingled with the greetings and salutations of our advertisers, you will find pictures of most of the students in C. H. S. It would be impossible for us to identify each and.every snapshot, but we feel that those on pages 51, 52, 54, and 56, which show the ’49 ers in the “early thirties” may need explanation. Reading from left to right, and in rows as far as possible, the pictures are: Page 51: “Mac,” Billy Prince, Bobby Redford (in high chair), Carson Payne, “Spooky” and his drum, Millard (in the tub) and Geraldine S. saying, “Come get me.” Page 52: Courtney and the lily plant, Olive Knotts, “Boots” Oliver, Audrey C. (by the pump), Dick Allen, “Boo” Carter looking half-frozen, Mary Ann Carter (also in the snow) and Irving A. propped up in a chair. Page 54: Ernie V., “Sonny” (in overalls) and his dog, Freddie R., Ann Wid- gins squinting in the sun, Ann Carlton on the lawn, Jackie M., Cornelia in a sun-suit, Gilbert B. taking a sunbath, and Janette in the “salad patch.” Page 56: Natalie F., Edna, Anna Jean, George R., Georgia V., Wayne C., Lucy (in her bare feet), Barbara W. and Elizabeth Roop.
