VIRGINIA A A May 15, 1950 Dear Mr. and Mrs. Harwood: As we start this letter to you, we can't help but think how many, many times during the past seventeen years of your service as Principal in Crewe you have sent out letters written on this stationery. And too, how few times you have received letters written on it-perhaps this one is the first. At any rate we are su th' ' , re is is one of the longest letters you'll ever receive. Mrs. Harwood, we know you remember driving some of the staff to the S. I. P. A. Conference in Lexington last April. How could forget when eve , You ry moment was a happy one? The steep roads, the future Metropolitan Opera singers the V M I b b ll , . . . ase a games, and the excep4 tional welcome from other S. I. P. A. members, will long remain in our hearts, as well as in yours. Perhaps you heard us talking on the way back how impressed we were with the talks made by the experts. One of them suggested that our yearbooks should tell th ' ' ' ' e story of the years activities much the same as a letter to a friend might tell it. This thought stuck ' and h in our heads, w en a few weeks later, we learned that you and Mr. Harwood planned to leave Crewe High, after having been here seventeen years, we right then and there decided th at The 1950 Railroader should take the form of a letter to you. We know how familiar to you is e h ac and every foot of the building I and grounds about the sch l oo . We know you must have a great many questions in mind and we shall try to tell you everything you would ask us if we could sit down together and e ' njoy a personal chat. 'Our Staff photographers have been very busy with cameras and flashbulbs We've listed and checked and listed ' again every phase of our school lifenso that our letter-story might be complete. X I ZLL of C0l'lfel'lfd just in case you are in a hurry to find out who moved up from the Midget team to the Varsity this year, or' what the Holy-Trinity score was, we are listing next, in summary form, the pages on which each type of information can be found: Page TITLE PAGE .,.......... .........

The trim was freshly painted in the summer of 1948, so repairs to the roof were the only major improvements made. The hot and damp summer weather kept the lawn on the Tyler Street side nice and green. But the East lawn is still having a struggle where :1:Qsmggg,, students try to cut across corners and save a few precious seconds as they make a dash for the street. The bright orange balls on the pyracantha bushes were never lovelier, and there are many cones on the deodara cedar trees by the front doors. Those same rains caused the shrubbery around the cottage to grow and grow and grow. Mt. Micks wishes some of them might grow across the road around the Shop building.

L OWL? 66111905 JE The greatest changes, however, are on the in- side of the building. The first thing you'd miss if you should step in the door would be the big, old clock that was seldom right and always caused watch owners to glance at their own to see if it were telling the truth. We have a new clock, but it's only half-pint size and hangs in Mr. Beville's office. Wltile it's small, it still rings with a lusty tone, so we have no trouble knowing when to change classes. And after you'd missed the sight of the old clock, you would realize with a start that the halls have a different look. This new look was ac- complished with the use of paint-a blue-grey dado with creamy yellow above. One of the Third graders was heard to remark, Hot dog! my fa- vorite colors! All of us wouldn't subscribe to her tastes in colors, but it's really very clean and bright looking. The Auditorium, too, has a new dress. The tops of the long windows were bricked in, the ceiling painted white, the walls peach, and the woodwork blue-grey. Wltat with the new cyclorama pur- chased last spring before you left, and the new stage furniture, you would never know it was the same place. We like to show off our audi- torium, now. Whoopee! Big recess, little recess, noon hour-'The puuse that refreshes. , .. Gillifq' 5. ll! : M 'E ii R Future Ruilrouders Get in u little Practice The only classrooms to get a face-lifting were the science rooms in the basement where Mr. Pollard holds forth. By the way, Mr. Pollard has complete charge of the Audio-Visual Aid Program in addition to teaching General Math, Chemistry and Algebra II. There was not a sufficient en- rollment in Physics this year to warrant having a class, so Physics will appear on next year's sched- ule in place of Chemistry. To assist him in carrying on the movie program, Mr. Pollard has a crew of students who operate the projector for him: Harold Rodgers, James Stables, Arthur Davis, 8:2935 A. M ..... Mr. Pollard Still Keeps 'em Outside Bobby Lynch, Carl Henderson, Frances Webb, Percy Cole, and Henry Crittenden. The Library is the prettiest room of them all. It is light green all over-even the shelves! It is so attractive, and cool and quiet looking-though we often have to be reminded by more than the paint that we should remain quiet Miss Fitz- gerald has as her assistants: Ann Jennings, Carolyn Crannis, Courtney Jones, Kay Crittenden, Mary Ann Brightwell, Myrtle Sivley, Nancy Anderson and Frances Webb A Bird's-eye View From the Library Window Ledge , .Elf i gi! Wow Changea- The room opposite the cafeteria was rejuvet nated, also, and now serves as an additional lunch room. Flower boxes have been placed in the Caf- eteria windows and the F. H. A. girls are doing their best to get flowers to grow in them. In addition to teaching Home Ec. I, II, III, and IV, Miss Powell assists Mrs. Verser in the Cafeteria, along with two High School girls, Shirley Austin and Wilma jean Estep. Aunt Mamie is still with us, too. Mrs. Harwood, you would be interested in the appearance of the Teachers Lounge. Mr. Micks built a new bookcase for the professional books from the Library-just another way of reminding the teachers to keep up with their reading. And using the name Teachers' Lounge re- minds us that door numbers and names, such as Library, Commercial, etc., have been stencilled on the doors. We've gone big school in that respect, but it still hasn't taught us to call the little room Room 303. Math in Technicolor is the latest develop- ment in Crewe High. Mr. Cheatham has a supply of colored chalk that he uses to make his illus- trations clearer to our dull heads in Plane and Solid Geometry, Algebra I and General Math. He's also worked out some plastic models for use in Solid. We can no longer say we don't why two triangles aren't congruent. This is the year for Latin I to have its fling in our Course of Study, so Miss Coleman has all the Romans visiting her during the second period in the morning. Miss Coleman also teaches Senior English and one section of American History. Both Mrs. Hutcherson and Mrs. Yates are enjoying a new experience this year-Vocational Civics. It gives Mrs. Yates something to do while resting Between English I and II, and gives Mrs. Hutcherson, who specializes on Juniors I in Eng- lish and French IIJ a chance to see just how much more dignified the Juniors are than the Freshmen! jars of bugs and boxes of insects are a common sight in Room 303 where Miss Burton holds her Biology and General Science classes. She has a nice, shiny, new file, too, where she keeps all her Guidance leaflets and records. When she's not examining the aforesaid specimens of insect life, she's examining us and trying to guide us in the paths in which we should go. Flower boxes in windows, bookcases, teachers' mailboxes in the office, blocks on the legs of typing tables-all bespeak the work of Mr. Micks and his Industrial Arts classes I, II, and III. Remember the plastic name plate Mr. Golubic received last year and never had a desk on which to display it? He has one now-for he meets his World History and Government classes in the small room on the first floor where Typing was taught. If you will look closely at the pic- ture of his class which appears in the Senior Section, you'll see it-the name plate. we mean. The permanent desks from your room, Mrs. Harwood, were placed in this room, and the typewriters and tables moved upstairs to uyourl' room. Mrs. Hagberg said that if the School Board bought new typewriters, they would either have to give her a larger room or hire a new streamlined teacher. We got three new typewriters-and another room. Mrs. Hagberg meets her Typing I and II and Shorthand classes in Room 306, and Bookkeeping in Room 301. Mildred Morton, Janice Lunsford, Jeanne Lewis and Lucille Lewis enrolled for Bookkeep- ing II and keep the High School Activity Ac- count Fund books for their work experience. The informal picture of Mr. Beville, shown on the next page, was taken in front of a par- tition which was added in the office. This new arrangement provides a private office for Mr. Beville, and a counter for the sale of school supplies in the outer office. None of us like being summoned to this inner sanctumf' but we know full wcll how necessary such a place is. NOTTOWAY COUNTY SCHOOL BOARD: C. H.

This year the band, under the direction of Miss Branson, is one of the most active organizations about school. Playing for football games and other events in the County has enabled such. We have about thirty members, who work together to make the organization one of which the students of Crewe High School can be proud. Physical Education Period on Mondays and Thursdays is set aside as rehearsal time. About half of our members have joined the newly formed Nottoway County Band which meets every Monday night in either Blackstone or Crewe. We hope to attend the annual Music Festival to be held in Rich- mond this spring. gem I6 FIRST ROW: Miss Johns, Director, lou Shell, Jacque Bates,.SalIy Hughes, Beverley Oraucker, Alice Joy Schaubach, Mary Ann Brightwell.

Until very recently, our Glee Club was handi- capped by the lack of boys' voices. A campaign for more members brought forth the group pictured be- low and made it possible to present a better balanced chorus. The Club has already participated in several pro- grams, that have been held in and around school, and is now looking forward to others sometime in the spring. Some of the most anticipated ones are the County Music Festival, the Assembly Program to be presented in Victoria, and the State Music Festival in Richmond. Last year under the direction of Miss Dorothy Branson, Crewe High Glee Club won a superior rating at the State Festivalg this year they are going to try to do just as well. FRONT ROW: Bobby lynch.

Not that we mean to overlook you, Mr. Harwood, for we know you were instrumental in the founding of Ace many years ago. But we do miss our sponsor! Ar our tea at the Center in October, and again at our Christ- mas party, we recalled the good times we had in your home last year, As baseball season approaches we can't help wishing you might be here to help us manage the concessions again. Eva Mac Williamson is our President, Jeanne Lewis, Vice-Presidentg Blanche XlC'eatherford, Secretaryg janice Lunsford, Treasurer, and Shirley Stables, Reporter. And since you left, Mrs. Hagberg has been our only sponsor. We have made one change we know you would approve-we have some of our meetings at lunch hour. So many Ace of Clubs girls live outside of Crewe that it is difficult for us to meet at night, so we gather in the Little Room, ear together, and talk over our problems as we eat.

It was Hi-Y until this year when the Club was reorganized in keeping with its membership practices. From now on, those who receive that coveted C, or special sports insignia to place on their C at the Awards Assembly in May, will become members of this Club. The officers for the year are: Prerident, Buck Shell, Vice-President, Jim Bennett, Secretary-Trerzrurer, Robert Wilson, Sponsor, Mr. Golubic. The 1950 Queen of Hearts Program was sponsored by the Monogram Club and proved to be a huge success. We know you will recognize Queen Lou and King Affie. They were chosen by vote of the student body. Their Court included: Jane Elder, Ann Perkinson, Sally Hughes, Gwendolyn Michael, Claudette Watson, Jim Bennett, George Verser, Llewellyn Flippen, Mozelle Carter, Myrtle Sivley, Jacque Bates, Joanne Franklin, Jack Murphy, Donald Moore, Robert Wilson, C.

Talimmn Rare Clam Motto- A winner never quit: and az quiver never wimf' FIRST, THE SENIORS SAY- Can you remember when in September, 1939, about sixty little boys and girls started to school for the first time? Although we didn't realize it then, we were to be the class of 1950. Clt wasn't really the first time that we had come to school, for we had all been to school for vaccination the year be- fore. But how did they treat us then? Why they told us not to cry and then proceeded to stick us with a needle! Wasn't that just like a grownup?j Then the first real day of school came. A few started to cry when their mothers left, but just to show that they weren,t really frightened, the rest began to squirm around in their seats and to pinch whoever was sitting across the aisle. Somehow we managed to live through the day, and we trooped home, tired, and also a little disappointed because we had not learned how to read and write in one day. For the first few years, we gave little thought to the future, we were content to do a little read- ing, writing. and spelling and to spend the rest of the time playing marbles, jail, hopscotch, or tag. During this time, the one thing that we really looked forward to each year was May Day. As you well remember, it took place at the playground and all of us had a grand time, skipping around dressed like bumblebees, toy soldiers, rain drops, or little sunbeams. In the fourth and fifth grades we began to realize that we were in the midst of World War II. All of us did our bit by buying savings stamps, and we even had to give up May Day because of the scarcity of materials. Gasoline and food most assuredly were rationed, but never the good times and high spirits of our class. RALPH LEON AFFLERBACH IRVING JENKS ARNOLD WILLIAM CARROLL ATKINSON , -N - feavif. ,ft , I As September, i945 rolled argund, we myyyed into a year packed with many new experiences. First of all, we moved upstairs with the Seventh Grade and the High School, and there, instead of just one teacher, each section had three. We became members of the Students' Co-operative Association, helped elect its officers, and tried to obey the boy patrolmen under it. Then public school music was instituted in the county, and while still in the Sixth Grade, we began to study scales and the value of notes and in general learned to sing. I doubt if our teachers will ever be able to forget how we liked to sing Ch I' C win' on Sourwood Mountain. Under .ff - , ff! i J l ' ,CX ' ki! Q the leadership of our musical director, our class and the Seventh Grade presented an operetta en- titled Goldilock's Adventure, the first of its kind ever to be presented in this school. Another new experience, and not quite so pleasant as some of the preceding ones, was the taking of exams. We struggled, studied, crammed, and yes, somehow, we passed-passed right into the Seventh Grade. Here again we had public school music and pre- sented another operetta entitled In the Land of Dreams Come True. We were at the head of the S. C. A, and thought that we led the entire grammar school. Acting like heroes got us into the usual A.,.,4f,'if 1 ,.-All-1 ,...,.. 4-9.1. f W S, f A LEY EARL BEAMER JAMES CRIDER BENNETT JOHN MADISON BROOKS MURIEL ELOISE CALDWELL KJ-440 YALL. H-- ..

Soon after the semester had started, we began mak- ing plans for an educational trip to Washington and with the guidance of our two teachers, the county supervisor, and a few parents, we all boarded a bus and visited Mount Vernon, the Capitol, the Library of Congress, the Smithsonian Institute and other places of interest in Washington. We talked about our trip to Washington for weeks afterward, but then we began to plan the annual Seventh Grade dance. After much preparation, the big night came and the boys, dressed in their Sunday suits, called for their dates and escorted them to the U. S. O. building in which the dance was held. All the girls and boys separated, the girls on one side and the boys on the other, so the chaperones started the games to get them together. Dancing and refreshments followed P 1 and everyone had a good time. Sometime during the year we must have squeezed in a little studying because we passed one set of exams and then another bringing us to the end of the Seventh Grade and to Commencement Time. After a short but impressive ceremony, we received our diplomas and marched outdoors to have our pictures taken. As Freshmen the following September, we were a big pain-in-the-neck, constantly demanding to be told where the next class was to be held and then after being told, we rushed down the hall-no, not to class, but simply to gossip with our friends. We settled down a little bit and elected our class of- ficers. That year the first Annual went to press, and the first School Band was organized. Also dur- ing that year, May Day was revived. However, it was a different May Day because it was presented by the High School on the school lawn instead of by' the grades down at the playground.

The Staff did excellent work and, as they still do now, everyone looked forward to each new issue. Our Sophomore year was a hard one because of those foreign languages and algebra equations. We had thought that we, as Sophomores, could make the Freshmen bow, but we were still too busy dodg- ing the blows of the Juniors and Seniors to worry the Freshmen. We had the usual chapel programs and again had a May Day which, we all declared, was finer than any other ever given. During the course of the year, most of us were initiated into some club. Oh, the things we did, a dog wouldn't have donel We vowed to get even when we were juniors and could initiate someone else. Then we were -luniors and only one rung from the top of the ladder. Most of the class had the opportunity to take a trip to Williamsburg with the History III Class. We had a grand time being con- ducted over the fine historical buildings and an cm' even better time taking pictures of each other in the stocks at the iailhouse. After touring Williams- burg we all piled into the cars and went on to Yorktown. A couple of the cars got a little turned around on the way and found themselves going the wrong way on a one-way highway! That was soon straightened out and we drove on. Reaching York- town, we scrambled all over the battlements and then drove to Jamestown and boarded a ferry for home. Early in the year we began a magazine cam- paign. Being an extremely small class. we had to work extra hard to raise money for the ,Tunior-Senior banquet and dance. Our campaign was very success- ful, in fact we sold more magazines than any other Class before or since. Kay Beat the Band, the Junior play, was nres9r1teclf'gvieeJQ e night and one matinee performanc 5 to ignefiextra money.

The morning of the Junior-Senior banquet and dance was bright and beautiful, and everyone tried to get out of class to help get flowers and to deco- rate. We worked hard all day and relaxed and had a grand time that night. After it was over, we breathed a sigh of relief and patted ourselves on the back because we knew that junior-Senior was a big success. Now, in our Senior Year, we have just a third of our original number plus a few from other classes and other schools, so we have to work extra hard in order to uphold traditions of former classes. First among the problems of our Senior year was .K the management and writing of this, Annual. The Staff has devoted many, to its preparation and we, as Seniors, indebted to them. We are especially any yacc v-4' if .fa,s..f-.mvfv-1 tt We our Senior long hours are greatly grateful to those merchants and friends of the school who were willing to relinquish their usual, traditional adver- tising space to endorse the picture pages which pre- cede this section. We like this spirit of friendliness toward Crewe High, this willingness to try some- thing new, and we pledge our sincere patronage to those whose names appear as sponsors of feature and athletic pages. As Seniors, we have chosen our calling cards and have been measured for caps and gowns. All of the other so-called Senior activities are yet to come. To say that we are looking forward to them with keen anticipation is putting it mildly. Plans are already shaping up for the Senior Play, the junior-Senior Banquet and Dance, and last, but not least, Commencement. We hope that you both will be able to visit us at that time and enjoy with us that long-awaited occasion. GEORGE ALBE T VERS R JOHN ROBERT WALKER EVA MAE WILLIAMSON Jerri, om, QW..

As you remember, we were ' typical freshmen, roaming up and down the halls in a daze and always in the wrong class at the wrong time. High School was a new experience for us. Never before had we had the opportunity to choose our own classes and change from room to room at the tone of the bell with a different teacher for each subject.

Two of the girls from our class, jean Tunstall and Kay Critten- U den, were on the team which represented Crewe High. Before we knew it, our first year in high school was ended. Mrs. Hagberg and Mrs. Hall guided us through our Sophomore year which proved to be a very exciting one. This was the first year that Crewe High had had majorettes and several of our classmates- Myrtle Sivley, Betty Lou Williamson, Marie Calhoun and jean Estep-went all out for this activity. Some of the Sophomores were initiated into the PEP, ACE, and HI-Y Clubs. Then came the One- Act Play contest at Farmville. Crewe High presented Swept Clean Off Her Feet and two of our class members, Robert Wilson and Betty Lou Williamson, received special mention for their acting ability in this performance. On the last night of school we had our Sophomore class party at the Community Center which will long be remembered. Thus we had passed our half-way mark in Crewe High School: , fl VW fi an 7 1 QM 7?

The changes made during the summer made us feel almost like Freshmen again, but it didn'z take us long to get used to them. This year we are under the sponsorship of Miss Burton and Mr. Cheatham. Our first business was that of selecting class officers, flower, color and motto. Then came the time to order our rings which we expect to arrive in February. As you know our main object is to have a successful Junior-Senior Banquet. Our first money-mak- ing project was selling magazines. Our goal was 35700, which after much struggling we didn't make! We did, however, make enough to assure the Seniors of a fine banquet. Now, as this book goes to press, we are working hard to present our junior Play to help swell the treasury. We have chosen Who Killed Aunt Caroline? , a mystery in three acts. We know we shall have a lot of fun producing this play, the hard work will come later when we are hosts to the Seniors.

No history to write, so we decided to tell you what you might see in our homerooms if you were to visit us during Activity period some morning. In one corner you might see land heath Poochie, john Young, Meade, Sidney and jeff. Mrs. Hagberg says that is her Latin quarter. In other words, those would-he Romans are studying for a Latin test and, at the moment, arguing about some verb forms. In another corner, Freddie, Bobby and George are busy with the intricacies of a game of tit-tat-toe. Bibby has his head in land ond a Wtmrlcl History book. ln the third corner Cremember, the door occupies the fourthl, Robert, Gordon, and Billy Mc. are passing a tiny microscope from one to another. All boys in this room? No, but in the Sophomore wonder e girls are quiet and seldom have to be hushed by the teachers. 'Way down in the Science Room in the basement, you would find the other Sophomores. You might find Mr. Pollard writing one of his famous quizzes on the blackboard. Percy, Buddy and Norman may be seen at another board working some math prob- lems. Mary Ann and Ruth Bryan are buzz-buzzing some Biology review questions and answers, and Monroe, james S. and Harold are having a heated argument over the speed obtainable from a motor skooter. Those absent are probably at Glee Club rehearsal for some of the Sophomores are members of this club which practices at that time. You can see that we are really active in Activity Period! ,I we cjlztealzmen, jno, mu!! Clue az lifljorc! you- My, how we like to be called by such a title as The Class of '53. We're so glad to be Freshmen at last! We don't know just how much doubt you had, Mr. Harwood, about our ever getting here, as you watched us plod through the grades, but there were times when we thought this day would never come! Oh, to be in High School! To be free OJ to wander from class to class, go to the Library when we liked, etc. You can't imagine how we envied the high school students from our end of the hall! Of course, we didn't realize that those students at the other end of the building had four or five teachers checking on them all day long, or that each time they went to the Library they carried a little yellow slip telling when they left the study and all about it! Their life looked so carefree to us. We were so anxious to try it. You helped ease our pain of waiting bv letting us join the Midget team. That helped! But now we're here, and we love it! Wore trying to prove to the other classes that we are ready and willing to become a part of their activities, and we think we're proving our point. Some of us belong to the Glee Club and Band and are contributors to the columns of The Trailblazer, We've been active in programs-in December we gave the Christmas play in Assembly. We've also participated in athletics. Our boys went out for football, both Varsity and Midget. And now we are being represented in basket- ball by some of our girls and boys.

We, in the Seventh Grade, have at last reached that final step to High School, our goal for the past six years. I We know that you helped make High School easier for us by allowing departmental work in the Sixth and Seventh Grades-preparing us to cope with four and five teachers during each day. The Seventh Grade, too, has a change in text- books-a change that makes us realize much study is necessary. An outstanding work so far, has been our Art. Wie have made many things of which we are quite proud. We are looking forward, with keenest anticipa- tion, to entering High School, where we can change classes, join clubs, enjoy the Library, and participate in many other activities.

We do not re- member much about the war and the things that you were concerned with during those days, we were so busy with our own little class. Now we have come from the elementary school where we had just one teacher each year to the Sixth Grade where We have three. To make things still more difficult, some of the text- books have been chnged-new English, Ge- ography, and History books. We find that we must study more if we wish to reach that last step before entering High School. We looked forward through the years to the Safety Patrol, hoping to wear a belt and help with the work. Many of us were on the Midget Football team, and are we proud of the Midgets? By thetime our Midgets become Varsity Rail- roaders, Crewe High School should win every game! - ... :C 77 parflng L6 Auc dweef Jarrow How often we have heard the above state- ment, and never realized how true it could be, until now. But then we never know how much we enjoy a thing until it ceases to exist. We want you to know fhat even though we have spent a great deal of time and also money on this book 6 for how could we get this published without it?b we have enjoyed every moment. We can't imagine devoting our time to a couple more dear to our hearts, and more com- pletely in our memory than you. We hope this book has illustrated the mem- orable occasions, not just for today, but to be cherished in your hearts in later years. We have tried to make the preceding forty- nine pages clear in showing you records of faces and activities. We should also like to point out that we have had a very co-operative faculty in allowing us to cut classes to work on our letter to you. We feel that without the cooperation of the faculty and fellow students, and to say nothing of our Boosters, this let- ter would have been very incomplete. Thank you again for this wonderful oppor- tunity, and from all of us at Crewe High to both of you, we say, 'til we meet again'. Love, 6,U.q-, mg i Editor ffm?

Business Manager Flippen kept cautioning us about who was going to pay the freight, etc., etc. You know how Llewellyn watched over our finances last year. Well, he hasn't changed a bit and we really had him worried for awhile. We promised him we wouldn't list all the data about the Seniors on the Senior pages, but now that the main body of our letter is finished land we still have a bit of space lefty, we couldn't resist the temptation to list it here.
