We have attempted to picture these events for you in a methodical arrangement as a glance at the above will show. To those who are unfamiliar with the technique of reading picture-pages, we would point out that both the script and pictures are arranged in a left-to-right sequence. We believe you will enjoy reading and re-reading this picture-story. We are sure that each time you look at the pictures, you will see something you had not noticed before, for each picture was mken with the story in mind, and does not represent mere random snapshots. We would ask you to give particular attention to the names of the page sponsors which appear at the bottom of the page. These business people have permitted us to use their advertising space for pictures of school activities. They deserve your atten- tion and patronage.

When it became known that the classrooms would be painted during the summer, all books, files, charts, maps, typewriters--even the mimeograph, were moved out of the classrooms and stored in the balcony of the Auditorium and the Library. The painters, including our own Percy Cole, transformed the drab, dirty walls with light, fresh shades of blue, UE green, rose, and tan. When school opened in September, the smell of fresh paint was a welcome greeting to stu- dents and teachers alike. With the painting completed, and the lawns cleared of leaves, the next problem to be tackled was the repair of the flagpole. In co-operation with the R.E.A. workers, the pole was taken down, hauled away for repair, to be returned when the lawn is dry enough to support the trucks. . .

VA. Early on Sept. 23, we boarded a bus and headed out of 'town-bound for Charlottes- ville and the University. We stood in line for tickets at Monticello , paused on the portico to listen to the guide's story about each original piece of furniture, and by the pool in the garden where we saw our own images mirrored in the water and came to realize why Jefferson said, All my wishes end, where l hope my days will end, at Monticello. . . . We weren't cramped for space when we ate our lunch in the empty stadium and were there in ample time to watch everyone enter -the teams, the spectators and the band. The University won for us, over George Washing- ton, 14-O, thus bringing to a close a most memorable day. Q WF 1... p .R lg.: 9 fW!WW's 'iv ' -5 , .

We were a class of many boys and few girls. We had out share of mischief-makers, high IQ's and just average students. All in ,W-I 5 H-,,,, . all though, we weren't a bad lot-in our estimation' Jeff Davis Bill Fahrbach Our grammar school years were happy ones with good teachers who put up with the worst in us and helped develop the best in us. To them we shall always be grateful. We never shall forget the operettas and the May Days. The climax came, however, when we were in the seventh grade and were among those who boarded the bus to Washington. That trip to our Nation's cap- ital will always stand out as a big event in l - Buddy Fisher Joanne Franklin our lives. ' And then the year 1948! Our first year in High School! We weren't timid freshmen- we had reached that show-off stage and being in high school made us feel more im- portant. Our teachers, Mrs. Yates and Mrs. Bullock, were kind and sympathetic a coped with our undesirable quali 'e e u i- fully. .

He gained the respect of our whole class, as did our homeroom teachers, Mrs. Hagberg and Mr. Pollard. Now we were beginning to take on extra- curricular activities-band, glee club, sports, and social clubs. And then too, about this time we all began to look favorably upon the opposite sex. Though our number had de- creased and we were small in quantity, we still liked to think we had quality. We haven't long been juniors, but even so we have had a magazine campaign to raise money for the Junior-Senior Banquet, have ordered our class rings, and elected our class officers. We are looking forward to our Junior Play to be given in the spring and to four firstj the junior-Senior Banquet. Miss Winn, our homeroom teacher, has been a great help to us in more ways than one. This December, 1950, the U. S. is facing a great crisis and war clouds are hanging heavily over us. May we as members of the Class of 1952 have a part in bringing about Peace.

The Glee Club of Crewe High School, first organized in 1944, has become more active with each year's accomplishments. Under the direction of Miss Lucy Page johns, the Glee Club presented an assembly program in honor of American Education Week. In December they sang several songs following the Christmas Pageant for the Parent-Teachers Association. Also, on November 8 when Crewe High presented an exchange assembly program at Victoria, the Glee Club sang several songs. They plan to present an exchange program to Blackstone in the Spring. Miss johns also plans for a Spring Concert. Crewe High no longer has a school band, but a few mem- bers of the old band are now in the Nottoway County Band, which consists of members from Crewe, Blackstone, and Burke- ville schools. Among those from Crewe in the County Band are: Ruth Bryan Robertson, Betty Lou Williamson, Clara Mae Wootton, Carolyn Smith, Marjorie Reid, Johnson Willis, jeff Davis, Bob Murphy, Neale Allen.

They elect their own officers, hold regular meetings, plan and carry out programs based on the needs and interests of the young people. There are 4-H Clubs in practically all countries of the world, learning by do- ing and striving to live up to their motto to make the best better. The name 4-H typifies the training of Head, Heart, Hands, grid Health. The emblem is a four-leaf clover with the letter H in each leaf. The colors are green and white: green, nature's most common color which symbolizes spring- time, life, and youth, and white, which symbolizes purity and high ideals. Once a member of this organization one never forgets the things he has learned by clearer thinking, heart enriched through greater loyalty, things accom- plished by hand through longer service and health strengthened by better living.

UlIlIlEll BHUUGHT EHEEZIHG lllllll, Sllllllllllll HUHUS - - EVEH H PRICE FREEZE! Crewe, Virginia, has taken pride in its mild winter weather for the past several years, but the coming of winter, 1950, has shattered many hopes and records. For the students who count on bad weather to provide a holiday-it meant a few early dismissals, only. For the adminis- trators, it meant extra-heavy coal bills and anxiety over the school buses on icy roads. As for price freezing, the reactions were varied. In fact, the owners of new sleds and the Staff photog- raphers were happiest whenever it started to snow. Heavy snow such as is shown in the scene above seldom stays very long, so this picture was made early in the morning before it had disappeared in the form of snowballs and slush. Students reluctantly leave the buses for a day in class rather than a day in the snow. Recess on days like this means just one thing-a frolic in the snow, or on the ice. It took a high-speed camera and good balance on the part of Photographer Crittenden to catch Max Bryant using the front sidewalk as a skating rink during the noon hour. at Je!

M-WIXI No small part of Robert Edward's charm is his ever-present smile. In fact, we seldom see him without one. Sometimes it takes the form of a mischievous grin, a half-smile of amusement, or a broad laugh of gaiety. It's terribly hard for him to be serious, so we believe his smile will still be there when the last quarter-inch of the Toni has grown out. BEST ALI.-'ROUND 7.1,..5,,,au.

That's right, this may seem, to be the end of the book, but it isn't! There is more to come! Later this summer, you will receive a Graduation Supple- ment which will bring to you the story of events which have taken place since our book went to press in March. Your Staff has been busy preparing this sequel to the 1951 Railroader and will send it to the pub- lishers immediately following graduation. This supplement will reach you later in the summer N . T' with instructions as to how to make it a permanent part of your book. We are very proud of this in- f novation and hope you will like it. IfII '....' EDITOR jean and Smetty :ell Mr. Shell an ad.
