The Club started with fourteen members under the sponsorship of Miss Mary Janet Smith. The next year with Mrs. Lucille Hod- nett as their sponsor, the sixteen Beta Club members presented a special pro¬ gram for assembly and sent ten delegates to the State Beta Convention. In 1948, the Beta Club had increased in number to twenty-one. That year Mrs. Hutcherson became its sponsor. The members prepared boxes for school chil¬ dren in war devastated countries, gave an assembly program, and again sent dele¬ gates to the State Convention. Similar activities were engaged in during the 1949 term. A Queen of Hearts program high-lighted the 1950 activities. The major activity of 1951 and 1952 has been to publish The Trailblazer, the Crewe High School newspaper. In 1951, the Club gave a mimeoscope to the Business Education Department, for use in mimeographing the paper. Although the membership of the Club is small this year due partly to the de¬ crease in enrollment in high school and the small Senior Class, the boys outnumber the girls for the first time in the history of the Club in Crewe High. The Beta Club hopes to become a banner member of National Beta this year and have it’s picture in the Journal. Both S.I.P.A. and Beta Conventions are being held at the same time, so it will be nec¬ essary for members to choose according to their interest. IMPROVEMENTS MADE IN COVERAGE AND FORM OF CURRENT TRAILBLAZER C.H.S. students approve the new one- page (front and back) Trailblazer being published each Friday as news coverage has been better and more up-to-the- minute. In previous years, The Trailblazer consisted of several pages, published every other Friday, for which the students paid five cents. In September, 1951, in keeping with suggestions received at S.I.P.A. , The T railblazer took the new form and arrange¬ ments were made whereby the cost of paper could be paid for out of Activity Fees and each student in the eighth grade and high school given a copy.
