FLOYD CLINGENPEEL President JOE MORRISSETTE Vice-President CAROLE CAROLYN LEWIS DUNN FISHER WILLIAMSON Secretary Treasurer Reporter William Atkinson Bertha Amos Rachel Baldwin Jerry Barlow Happy, Bu y uniona Enjoy Uhein JLifre Sin CHS In September 1955, ninety-three carefree, confused kids (The Railroader called us) from Burkeville and Crewe entered the halls of Crewe High School, bouncing with vim, vigor and vitality. We were the largest and perhaps the happiestclass to ever enroll in Crewe up to that time. We were then eighth graders, a part of this thing called high school. After several days of meeting new friends and trying to find our classrooms in our new home for five years (or more? ?), we settled down tofind out that the whole thing wasn ' t so bad after all. We were proud of our midget football team on which ten of our boys-David Horner, Delma Rockwell, Homer Mitchell, Douglas vleadows, Bright Thompson, Neal Reid, Harless Dobbins, Galey Honaker, Billy Firesheets, and Donald Kent Davis played. We became the champions of our district that year with nine of our girls-Martha Anne Harper, Carolyn Fisher, Cookie McGhee, Mary Kanipe, Bettie May, Betsy Borum, Gloria Pace, Barbara Whaley and Elizabeth Spencer cheering us on to victory. When the class sponsors finally got us together we elected Floyd Clingenpeel, our president, and Barbara Whaley, our representative to the Homecoming Court. We could never forget our battles in Mr. Kelly ' s history class and our frequent trips to see Mr. Via. In February of that year, Mary AnnWheary and Floyd Clingenpeel represented us in the Valentine Court. Carol Roberts was elected president our Freshman year and led us well throughout the year. Carole Dunn was our Homecoming representative and Bettie May and Jerry Barlow were elected to the Valentine Court. We spent all year trying to convince Glenn Garlick and Herbert Wheary not to blow us off the map. We were then permitted to participate in high school sports and Lightning Reid let the football team know that the Freshmen were good for something. We ' ll never forget the day that Floyd fainted during an algebra test and disrupted the whole class. Our sophomore year had much in store for us. Homecoming was perhaps a larger success for us because our float won first place and we had two to represent us, Mary Kanipe, and Martha Dixon. Barbara Shell got the giggles worse than ever that year, in fact she even gave them to Polly Scruggs. We all enjoyed the Valentine Dance. Under the leadership of David Homer this year, Elizabeth Spencer, Joe Morrissette, Martha Anne Harper, and Harless Dobbins were elected from our class to be in the court. We were denied the right to go to the Junior- Senior that year but many of us managed to go to the all-night combo which followed!! Finally our Junior year came. This was a year which had a lotof work in store for us. Our main project was our magazine campaign. With Floyd as our leader again this year, we set and accomplished the highest goal ever recorded in Crewe High School. Our goal of $1500 was met in two weeks. Martha Ann Harper and Barbara Whaley, our room captains, each had a high salesman in her room--Dicky Gregory and Carolyn Fisher with over $ 150 each were awarded watches for being high salesmen. Joyce Moore won a camera in the class drawing. Our Homecoming representatives were Margie Boswell, Barbara Shell, and Claudia Drinkwater. In November we ordered our class rings, which left everyone very anxious, but broke. During Religious Emphasis Week we were fortunate to have Dr. Jack Noffsinger talk to our class as a group. As this book goes to press we are looking forward to sponsoring our Junior-Senior this spring and will bend every effort to make it a success.
