CREWE HIGH SCHOOL ,P tx R ',f,la'vr.' 1 4 , Q-' ' 4-fy. .4 '? Q . U- . 1 . mvkl ,.. x CRI-:wE. 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

S. over the doorway are barely visible because of the trees, but we know you will agree that its outside appearance has changed very little. 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. TF - X
