Crewe High School is many things to many people, and at dif¬ ferent times, it is different things to the same people. To students it represents a place where they spend a large part of twelve years of their lives; to parents it represents not only the place where their children are being cared for and protected, but where they are being prepared to take their places as citizens in the community. To the taxpayers, it is an expense, cumbersome yet worth-while. So, for the student we would record a complete history of this year ' s activities; for the parent, we would attempt to show just what goes on behind the doors of Crewe High School; and for the taxpayers ' information, we would attempt to prove that the students in Crewe High School are benefiting from a well-rounded program, at least to the ex¬ tent made possible by available funds. THE STAFF 2 7 his Is Crewe High! This is Crewe High School, a place dear to each heart. Crowded with students, making ready to start Their annual adventure in learning to live; n Come join in the journey, we ' ve much pleasure to give. Crewe High Is A School Where Page CLASS WORK is the first order of the day.4 the FACULTY is both capable and helpful.17 the CLASSES are bursting at the seams .21 STUDENT ACTIVITIES are purposeful, though hampered by lack of time and facilities.41 a few SPECIAL EVENTS have become traditional.51 school spirit finds an outlet in a well-rounded ATHLETIC program.55 SPRING AND COMMENCEMENT are cause for acclaim. . . Supplement Because every Crewe High student is enrolled in at least one Eng¬ lish course, some in two, we have fourteen sections of grammar and literature, one of journalism, and one of dramatics .... Mrs. Dorothy Roberts (English I and dramatics), Mr. Hal Wilson (English IV), Mrs. Grace Trice and II) examine new books for parallel grade English and journalism), Mrs. Elizabeth Lorene Roberts (eighth grade English, English I Lucy Fitzgerald, Librarian. Senior girls admire dolls of the Elizabethan Period which were dressed by another English class. Early each year, the English IV classes make a study of current magazines. 4 Juniors participate in a panel discussion. V.F.W. Auxiliary officials present checks to sophomores, Carol Roberts and Jean Cary, for their prize winning essays on America’s Crusade for Free Man’s Rights. Spelling bees challenge the English I classes. Mr. Robbins instructs his Eighth grade class in formal introductions. HEADS HAVE ITl In dramatics class, they serve to improve posture; in journalism, heads (headlines) are counted. 5 Social Studies claim the attention of the majority of Crewe High’s students .... Her senior government students conduct the SCA elections annually in true political style. Her faculty examines a new plastic globe added to the visual aid equipment. Shown here are Mrs. Louise Bos¬ well, Mr. Hal Robbins, Mr. R. J. Golubic, Mrs. Eliza- Juniors, too, make u beth Bullock and Mrs. Joan Ross. ginia history. ps in American and Vir- A Us-iL ztt F r e shm e n enjoy looking at Civji L War relics and state flags made by Billy Stables. 6 Less photogenic, but nonetheless popular, mathematics is included in the schedule of three fourths of the students .... Most of the processes and much of the work in the basic courses (Math 8 and 9, Al¬ gebra I) go on in the minds of the students, thus escaping the eye of the camera. Mrs. Mary Fowlkes, teaches Math 8 and 9 and one section of Algebra I; Mrs. Lou- trell Jennings teaches Algebra I and II, plane and solid geometry; and Mr. Arthur Goldsmith, Math 9 and business arithmetic. Mr. Goldsmith starts explaining his annual stock buying spree in which he allots each student $500 with which to buy and sell. Object: to see who can make the greatest profit during a given time. Mrs. Jennings watches as Bobby Lee explains an example in solid geometry. Billy and B. C. show the plane geometry class the procedure for bisecting a segment. 7 tn this scientific age, Crewe High’s science department is gaining in popularity .... Eighth grade science, general science, biology, and chemistry comprise the of¬ ferings in science; Mrs. Willie A. Bridgforth, and Mrs. Mildred Dupriest are the teachers. Science students learn how to distill (water, that is). Also, small things are made bigger by the aid of the micro¬ scopes for biology students. Hydrogen at last! No explosion, either! 8 Increased enrollments have again made possible the offering of both Latin l and II and French I and II each year. Mrs. Louise Boswell teaches the Latin Classes; Mrs. Elizabeth Wilson, the French . . . . Mrs. Bosvvell deals with both Romans and Americans. Mrs. Wilson and her students examine French art. Vocational Agriculture plays an important part in the economy of Nottoway County’s dairy industry and tobacco growing .... Much of the time of the teacher, Mr. Joel S. Clingenpeel, is taken up with the homework of the students; but we have pictured for you here just a bit of the work done in the agricultural shop classes. Boys show skill in trailer construction. A gun rack is the pride and joy of these seniors. Girls enjoy making lamps in their exploratory course. Picnic tables are built by boys. 10 The study of home economics is required of ever y eighth grade girl; fro?n there on, it becomes an elective course .... Forty-two Crewe High girls have elected this study. Classes are held in the Home Economics Cottage under the direction of Mrs. Jessie Leath. The daily chore of cleaning is much more pleasant because of new furniture. Mrs. Leath shows how to Charlotte Williamson pours coffee to serve to a meeting of principals. Howto prune a rosebush is being shown here 11 Classes which serve to prepare students to earn a living are crowded to capacity .... Journalism students Frances, Jane, and Melvin ready themselves for publishing of the Dis¬ patcher. Seniors get experience by working in the office. Typing room equipment has been re-arranged to accommodate ninety-six upperclassmen studying typewriting under Mrs. Geraldine Hag- berg. Carol Kincheloe seems a bit puzzled as. tempts to explain a T account in Goldsmith’s Bookkeeping I class ; .she . % 12 Crewe High’s glee club is selected.” Members are admitted by try outAs a class, it meets daily under the direction of Mrs. Julia Brown. Mrs. Brown also teaches eighth grade exploratory music in addition to her grade school classes .... Glee Club boys present a Barbershop Sextet. Members of the Glee Club act out lyrics to Farmer Brown ' s Cow” Eighth grade girls study a variety Bells are the object of attention for Eighth grade boys harmonize while of instruments. the Belles of the Eighth Grade. presenting a program at a PTA meeting. Hands are kept busy as eighth grade girls go farther into the field of music. Swing Your Partner is the spirit as eighth grade girls try their hand at banjo playing. 13 The State of Virginia requires of its high school students an hour daily of health and physical education. Lacking a gymnasium, the girls, under the direction of Mrs. Joan Ross, use the grounds around the stadium as a classroom except in inclement weather .... After learning the fundamentals of soccer, the girls are ready for the whistle to begin the game. Mrs. Ross referees during the game. Intramural basketball keeps you on your toes and presents some keen competition, while intramural track looks like an exhausting affair. 14 Boys get a chance to move about and stretch their muscles in their physical education classes .... Students find that driver ' s education, under Mrs. Bruce Farley, is not only very helpful, but pays off in big dividends. Boys enjoy getting out of ih by participating in toucrLfoafb 0 e routi B a s k e t b a 11 is also very popular among the boys in physical education classes. 15 Scarcely a study, but certainly a very important part of each school day, is the students’ lunch hour. Lunch hour” for high school students lasts only 27 Vi minutes. Small wonder that everyone is in a hurry, and lines must move rapidly! 16 Crewe’s Administrators, School Board and Faculty Work as One Nottoway County School Board includes Mr. H. L.

Though they think they ' ve mastered all. They ' ve yet to answer Failure ' s call. On September 6, 1954, after enjoying a glorious summer with the anticipation of finally entering high school and seeing new faces, we, the Class of 1959, clamored into the halls of C. H. S. Although we were not accepted by our upper classmen as we had expected, we were allowed to participate in the many activities that the school offered. As eighth graders we had our share of midget football players and all the midget cheerleaders. At the end of the football season, Terry Walker was our repre¬ sentative in the Homecoming Court. We also had representa¬ tives in the Valentine Court. As freshmen we put on quite a show in all school activities and sports. We were very proud to receive third prize on our Homecoming Parade float. In April, 1956, we enjoyed a bois¬ terous trip to Gettysburg and Washington, D. C. Tnis event is stamped indelibly in the minds of all who took part in this trip. In our sophomore year the girls were asked into clubs, and the boys were allowed to take a larger part in the actual play- ingof sports. We replenished our treasury by selling Chronicles. After a long, hard struggle, we finally became juniors. After years of waiting we received our class rings, which gave us a feeling of exhilaration. During this year we tackled var¬ ious money-making projects to finance our Junior-Senior Ban¬ quet and Prom. While dancing to the music of the Esquires, and surrounded by the fabulous decorations, we felt that our Junior-Senior was really a success. We are looking forward to being seniors, and we assure the f resent seniors that we will do our best to.fill the vacancies eft by them. We will strive to make our senior year a year to remember. 30 CREWE BUILDER ' S SUPPLY ROY C. JENKINS OIL CO.

New members are selected at the beginning of each school year on the basis of thei r interest in books and their wi 11- ingness to help others to cultivate an interest in library functions. Some of the duties of the members include caring for the trophy case, reading to the grade pupils, showing educational films to all classes as the need arises, and keeping a scrapbook of all happenings of interest occurring in the town and in the school. Club members also act as library assistants. They work at the desk checking out books, keeping records of attendance, and aiding fellow students in finding books. I 1 Assistant Librarian, Char¬ lotte Williamson, checks out a book for a student. Jane Trump reads to grade pupils during Sixth Period.

The council has been responsible for arranging assembly programs every first and third Monday. This year, more than ever, the council has tried to make the students feel that they are a part of the SCA. The Association sent representatives to the District meeting held in Blackstone and in February eight students and the sponsor attended the Youth Forum in Richmond.

Future Farmers are Busy the Year ’Round The Future Farmers of America is a social club that promotes the development of agri¬ cultural leadership, cooperation, and citizenship. Buzzy Goldsmith and Ronnie MiIton, members of the Crewe chapter, attended State Forestry Camp on a scholarship they received early in the year. Twice during the year the Crewe chapter was host to important out-of- state visitors. National FFA President, John Haid, Jr., of Si loam Springs, Arkansas, visited the chapter in September, and several Indiana chapter members, with their advisor, came in December. The annual initiation and hamburger fry were held in November; the annual banquet was held in March. The Chapter took part in a shop-judging contest in February, was host to the tractor driving contest in April, and participated in a dairy-judging contest in May. The Crewe chapter will wind up the year with a flourish by attending the FFA Rally and State Convention in June. Buzzy Goldsmith and Ronnie Milton arrive at State Forestry Camp. 48 Officers are installed In a can- dlelight service.

Last fall the Crewe Chapter of FHA was very happy when Sharon Robertson was elected Vice-President of the Longwood Federation to which the Crewe Chapter belongs. FHA projects will live in the memories of CHS students. No one will forget the faculty baby-picture contest which Mrs. Hagberg won, though Mr. Via claims the students voted for her because they didn ' t recognize him as a blond. The Sadie Hawkins dance will live in the memories of al I who attended, and the good food cooked by FHA girls and sold at numerous bake sales will never be forgotten.

The Ace of Clubs — Oldest Social Club in Crewe High Ace of Clubs was organized in Crewe High School in 1 933 to encourage social contacts among the students and to sponsor baseball to aid the athletic fund. The Club colors are green and white and the insignia is the three- leaf clover with the letters A-C-E superim¬ posed . The Ace of Clubs is composed of girls chosen from the sophomore, junior, and sen¬ ior classes. They must show an active in¬ terest in school activities as well as being well-rounded, co-operative individuals. New members are voted into the Club at the beginning of each school year; the 1957 nominees were entertained at a buffet supper at the Center. The informal initiation was a take-off on the Ed Sullivan show and the initiates portrayed famous people from the movie and television world. The formal initi¬ ation was a candle-lighting ceremony in which the old and new members took the pledge to earnestly support the work of the Ace of Clubs.

Crewe’s Glee Club Is a True Service Organization The Glee Club ' s singing adds much to the school life at Crewe Hi. This group can be heard practicing second period every day, and it ' s good singing! Thqy started the year out by singing at the revival at the Burkeville Baptist church; at Christmas they gave their annual program for the P-TA, and furnished music in the Christmas pageant given by the dramatics class. Mrs. Julia Brown, the music teacher, has divided the group into trios and quartets. One trio sang for the teachers ' banquet; and a quartet sang at the bankers ' banquet. Jane Trump, Ramsey Norton, and Jimmie Wiley attended the All State Chorus in February, and the whole Glee Club attended the District Music Festival at Manchester High School on March 8. A concert in May will conclude the year ' s performances.

In the fall many who were not fortunate enough to get Asiatic flu shots were stricken with some form of influenza. In order to protect the average daily attendance record (so important in school financing) schools in Nottoway County were closed for three days. Then, in February, Old Man Winter dumped a record amount of snow on Nottoway County making roads impassable to school buses. This brought a week ' s vacation—somewhat over¬ shadowed by the thought of time to be made up. The Railroader Staff, too, was unusual. It included nine seniors totally inexperienced in September in yearbook work. The choice of an editor was, therefore, deferred until each might have a taste of the work. Every member sold advertising, assisted the photographer, identified pictures, wrote copy, planned make-up sheets, and typed copy. Bob Thompson and Don Farnsworth were assisted in picture taking by Miss Kay Crittenden; Bob Thompson headed the advertising campaign. Merrilee Ogburn and Warriner Atkinson were assisted in selling the books by Charlotte Williamson, Jane Trump, Sandra Vest, Swanson Jennings, Frieda Boykin, Betty Ann Schutt, Carol Roberts, Martha Dixon, Linda Lee Bobb, Bernard Schutt, Virginia Drinkwater, Margie Boswell, Rhea Lee Mahan, Shirley Schmidt, and Sally Pottage. When staff members were pressed for time, fifth period Typing Class students assisted in typing copy. At the conclusion of this cooperative procedure, Don Farnsworth was chosen chief of the associates. Perhaps no staff in Rai Iroader history worked with a better spirit of cooperation. We would remind you that you will receive your graduation supplementearly in the fall. With the end of the year already in view We ' d like at this time to say to you, Although some of us must say good-bye. We ' ll always cherish old Crewe High! 66 Qi.
