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 ►-

High Junior Year, 1st Semester Senior Pep Club 2, 4 Glee Club 1, 2, 4 WE ARE THE ’49 ERS It was ’38 when we entered Crewe, From little acorns to big trees grew From near and far to school we came To seek our fortune and perhaps our fame. 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-
