Blackstone and we were Irish dancers. Everyone enjoyed getting out of class to rehearse for it. The seventh grade holds many memories for us and among these our trip to Washington was most memorable. It was very exciting to see Congress in session and to visit Mt. Vernon. We had fun eating our lunch along the banks of the Potomac so our trip was both educational and interesting. In the eighth grade, we had our first dance and our first taste of high school life. The new 12-vearprogram caught us. Most of us agreed, however, that going through an extra year wasn ' t too bad and believed that it would help us later on. Being freshmen enabled us to take bio¬ logy, French and algebra--which made us feel like upperclassmen. However, we soon found out we weren’t. During our sophomore year Crewe and Burkeville High Schools merged and another new principal, Mr. O. R. Layman arrived. Ourhigh school became larger, there were many new faces. We liked our new classmates and we en¬ joyed many activities together. Many of us par¬ ticipated in sports, joined clubs and started work¬ ing on the Dispatcher and Railroader staffs. In April, some of us attended S 1 PA. Now, we are in the eleventh year of our school life. Already we ' ve sold magazines to help us financially to have a Junior-Senior dance and banquet. Soon, we ' ll be making plans for it. Some of us are on the staffs of the school paper and annual, others are leading fhe; dif¬ ferent clubs, and many of our boys J MgMs) are on the varsity ted ' n . th unprs. ' r , just about?

(KJULT TV - JUNIOR CLASS HISTOR- The Juniors, from the time they entered school in 1944 up to thepresent time, have been one of the busiest classes ever to enter Crewe High.

In second grade, wewerea little less timid, sowe began to like school. Everyonehad a good timewhenthe Vaughan twins, Carolyn and Rosa¬ lie, had a birthday party right in the school room. My, how delicious the ice cream and cake werel The third grade teachers taught us how to multiply and it was so hardl Arithmetic wasn ' t the only hard subject. Learning The Grass¬ hopper and other poems brought many nights of study. The first King and Queen of Hearts pro- gramwasheld that year and two members of our class, MarianDavis and Bill Wilson, were chosen crownbearers. Mr. Turnage who is now on the faculty, was the Kingl The fourth grade was a little harder than the third, but having a huge round blue globe showing the countries which we studied was thril 1 - ing. It was fun to make the globe turn round and round 1 In the fifth grade, we learned how to sew and weave, with the result that our mothers got new potholders for Christmas. A trip toWil- liamsburg and Jamestown to see the Restoration taught us many things about our country. That sameyear, weweresaddenedbyMr. T. P. Har¬ wood ' s departure to another county.
