'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

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

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.
