Saw the Vision of the world, and all the wonder that would be; Saw the heavens fill with commerce, argosies of magic sails. Pilots of the purple twilight, dropping down with costly bales; Heard the heavens fill with shouting, and there rain ' d a ghastly dew From the nations ' airy navies grappling in the central blue.

We have tried to arrange this information for you in an interesting and orderly fashion. Permit us to classify the contents of this time capsule as follows Administration Bag© 9 The Classes 15 Activities 35 Athletics 47 Special Events including Graduation 55 Advertisers 68 On the above numbered pages you find our predictions as to the future; between them, a reoord of the 1959-60 year. Very truly yours, Though we ' re apart, She ' s still in my heart, And they cut down the old pine tree. EDITOR’S NOTE The February issue of Year¬ book Impressions, a service organ of Myers Yearbook, Inc., had as its frontpiece the full color re¬ production of the 1959 Railroader cover. Now, all the U.S. and foreign countries will have seen our trees. Crewe High students and the all-too- friendly pigeons were desolated to find their twin pines (deodora spruce, really) cut to the ground when school opened in September. The spruces 1 lush growth and beauty had formed ;he background for countless class and club ictures; and as recently as last year, the trees ad graced the cover of The Rai Iroader. Even though their loss was mourned by the students, in fairness to the administration it must be admitted that the damage to the build¬ ing, especially the roof, far outweighed the hotogenic q u a I i t i e s of the trees; and they ad to be removed. The cutting of the trees was not the only change, however, that had taken place during the summer. As students assembled in the auditorium on September 3, they were sur¬ prised to see that the wails and woodwork had been freshly painted in shades of soft green. The dark, heavy draperies and curtains were also gone. Mr. R.P. Via, principal, ex¬ plained their absence in his opening remarks and promised that new draperies purchased by the Parent-Teacher Association and the Nottoway County School Board would soon adorn the windows and the stage. The grounds outside of the buildings had undergone changes also. The former play¬ ground back of the school had been graded and seeded, new trash burners built, and cement steps leading to the bus stops installed. After Career-Day session, junior and senior boys gather ' round the piano for a bit of harmonizing. Francis Tucker, president, proudly describes the rakp.n hv the P-T-A in securing the new curtains. , ?„ r ' ?� . • f. 1 1 a mil ' ll ■ h sf r , £ « i During the summer, all of the classrooms, except those in the Tyler Street building, had been painted in pastel shades of blue, green, and yellow. The halls, too, came in for their share of fresh paint. Venetian blinds had been hung in two more of the top-floor classrooms. Desks placed in the girls ' dress¬ ing room in the basement made a place for the holding of physical education classes during bad weather. The boys ' and girls ' rest rooms in the basement were also re¬ novated. The year 1959 will long be remembered as the Year of the Tests . Crewe High School, in cooperation with the State De¬ partment of Education, gave each high school student a series of tests—two known as SCAT (School and College Ability Test), and five known as STEP (Sequential Test of Educational Progress). These tests were given the first hour of each of seven days in early Septem¬ ber. They were sent to Iowa City, Iowa and were scored by the Monster —an electronic scoring device. The results were returned to the school and made available to guidance personnel for counseling purposes. Students, parents, and teachers have received the re¬ sults of these scores with avid interest. Each Anne Faris, Nancy Martin, Anne Dixon, and Judy Longbottom demonstrate splintered-leg, head-bandage, and improvised arm-splint techniques. The victim--Patsy Wilson. Tommy Jenkins, Neal Reid, and Billy Boswell dissecting crayfish. has an opportunity to evaluate himself. The student asks himself, Am I doing as well as I should be doing? The parent asks, Am I motivating my child and seeing that he at¬ tends to his school work first? The teacher asks herself, Wherein am I able to improve the teaching situation? Every senior has taken at least one special test. Many took College Entrance Exam Board Tests. Twenty-six competed in the National Merit Scholarship Qualifying Exams and six took special scholarship tests. Those not planning to enter college were given the Gates Aptitude Test Battery by a representa¬ tive of the State Employment Office. These tests were given to determine what each stu¬ dent is best fitted to do; and on the basis of these tests, the Employment Office helps the student find a job. Along with the new paint job and the new state-wide testing program, Crewe students joined other Virginia high school students in the new, enriched, five-year high school program. Under this plan, eighth grade will be considered a part of the high school proper and Carnegie units will be given for eighth 6 i 1 Mrs, Bridgforth checks operations being per¬ il formed by Kay Johnson and Patsy Wilson, I grade subjects. Naturally enough, the grad¬ uation requirements have been raised to 20 units; 5 units of English, 2 units of labora¬ tory science, 2 units of mathematics, 1 unit Virginia and United States history, 1 unit of Virginia and United States government, 4 units in a specified field, and 4 electives. In addition, three years of physical and health education (grades 8 through 10) are required, though not carrying Carnegie credits. Ad¬ ditional courses in physical education are available for grades 11 and 12. Driver edu¬ cation is included in physical education courses. In the eighth grade, certain students may elect to take academic courses such as Eng¬ lish 9, Latin, Science 9, or algebra, or general courses such as home economics, glee club, world geography, agriculture or typing, in lieu of some of the regular eighth-grade classes. This provides opportunity for plac¬ ing pupils in courses of greatest benefit and maximum intellectual stimulation. It will al¬ so make it possible for the student to take cer¬ tain advanced subjects in the eleventh and twelfth years. i j At the present time, Crewe High School offers her student body thirty-four electives from which to choose over and above the twelve required units. In mathematics, a student may choose between Algebra I and II, plane and solid geometry, and trigonome¬ try in addition to Math 8 and 9. In science, biology, chemistry, and physics are offered in addition to the earth and general intro¬ ductory sciences Eighth grade social srudies may be studied in addition to the required ! Virginia and United States history and govern¬ ment, and world history and or geography. Two years of French and Latin constitute the language offerings; journalism may be studied in addition to the five years of required Eng¬ lish. In the field of business, two years each of shorthand, typewriting, and bookkeeping are offered, in addition to business arithme¬ tic. Four years of study in both agriculture and home economics are also offered. Though singing itself is the major activity of the two music lab courses, the students experiment with sounds and rhythms as they apply to choral work, make and use rhythm instruments, and practice song leading. Karen Hatch and Nancy Martin practice administering artificial respiration. 7 As this new program materializes, more advanced courses in grammar, composition, speech, and math will be offered in the twelfth year. This year, for the first time, Crewe High School can boast a full-fledged physics class with an enrollment of 12 stu¬ dents, plus a newly-equipped laboratory. The latest improvement to be made in the physical property of the school isstill in the construction stage as this book goes to press. A mobile unit costing $5000 has been placed on a cement-block foundation at the rear of the main building, near the auditorium stage exit stairway. When com¬ S —After renovation plete, this unit will house one of the elementary grade classes whose room is now located on the main floor near the princi¬ pal ' s office. It has been rightly said that the principal ' s office is so small and crowd¬ ed that he hasn ' t room enough to change his mind. With the advent of Mrs. Eliza¬ beth Wilson ' s being assigned a twelve- month guidance roll, the need for additional room for counseling and record keeping has increased. The present second-grade room adjoining the office will be made over into offices. CREWE’S FIRST PHYSICS CLASS FIRST ROW: Mr. Wayland H. Jones (teacher), Linda Wilson, Jack Boswell, Gerald Ragland.

Our Valentine representatives were Marguerite Oliver, Henry Foote, Patricia Leslie, and Dick Nelson. Becoming juniors meant many new thrills such as selling magazines, ordering class rings, and preparing for Junior-Senior. The long-awaited day for ordering class rings came in November, leaving everyone happy but flat. It was an enthusiastic group of juniors that set out to beat all previous magazine selling records, and that we did! Before the time set, we had passed our goal of $1700, but that didn ' t stop us. On we worked till every possible subscriber had been visited and the total rolled to almost $2100, netting us over $7001 What a class! High salesman was Dick Nelson, with Preston Nunnally, Dick Meadows, Bernard Schutt, and Bobby Strum coming close behind. And we can’t forget Rhea Lee Mahan’s winning streak in the drawings. We’re so proud to be juniors, for once again juniors were singled out for their prowess in football; Harless Dobbins was chosen Best Back, and Ronnie Milton, Outstanding Lineman. Peggy Tucker, Marion Poole, Doris Thompson, and Patricia Leslie proudly represented us at Homecoming. Linwood Ingram joined our ranks shortly after school opened this fall. And so, 71 strong, we are anticipating the remainder of this exciting year. Our heads are buzzing with plans for Junior-Senior; we are striving to make it as collossal a success as our magazine campaign proved to be. Patricia Leslie and Jean Cranford Ray Barlow John Benedict Linda Bobb Greetings from our jubilant Class of ’61 to the Class of 2009! It is our honor and privilege to invite you on a little tour through the gloriously enchanted land of high school in the mid-twentieth century as seen through the wide eyes of that never-to-be-forgotten group of students now known as the Class of 1961. We invaded Crewe High School in September, 195 � a bumper crop of 94 eighth graders, 30 from Burkeville and 64 from Crewe. Although we tried to stand up for our rights, we didn’t get many. Upperclassmen were forever taking advantage of us, pushing us around. Af¬ ter we got our bearings, we elected Charles Lee Mason, president. That year, the Midgets were undefeated, with 22 of our he-men” playing on the team, and 9 of our girls proudly cheering them on. Peggy Tucker rep¬ resented us in the Homecoming Court, and Sandra Jen¬ kins and Witt Vernon, in the Valentine Court. Then came the wonderfulday when with happy hearts and a feeling of superiority we became freshmen. Participation in varsity sports added zest to our days. We chose Chris Klocke to lead us through this happy, care free year. Bronchitis prevented Doris Lee Thompson from representing us at Homecoming, but Linda Lee Bobb did an excellent job as substitute. We chose Doris Lee and Joe Vanarsdail as our Sweethearts in the Val¬ entine Court. Election to clubs and varsity teams high-lighted our sophomore year. We singled out Dickie Meadows to lead us, and Doris Lee Thompson and Joyce Simonton to wear the sophomore colors at Homecoming.

Ever since the adoption of the 12-year system in Nottoway County there has been doubt in the minds of many as to whether the eighth year was rightfully a continuation of the grade school or the first year of high school. , „ ... . r jhis year the State of Virginia decided that for all its students. From now on, twenty units shall be required for graduation and eighth grade studies will carry grad¬ uation unit value.

The Ace of Clubs is the oldest social club still existing in Crewe High School today. Its main purposes are to encourage a social contact among the students and to sponsor baseball in order to aid the athletic fund. Members are required to wear the Club colors, green and white, each Thursday or pay a fine. The three-leaf clover with the letters A-C-E superimposed is the Club insignia. Members are selected from the sophomore, junior, and senior classes and are discussed among the girls in the club before they are asked to join. They are chosen for their interest in school activities and their ability to co-operate with the other members and their fellow school friends. At the beginning of each school year, these members are invited to join the club and are entertained formally and informally. The 1959 members were honored with a banquet at the Community Center. The informal initiation took place in the high school auditorium where each initiate portrayed some famous western TV star. A candlelighting ceremony in which the old and new members pledged to support and uphold the work of the Ace of Clubs consti¬ tuted the formal initiation. 36 Music Enters Space THE BOYS’ CHORUS FIRST ROW: Ronnie Austin, Tommy Mc¬ Cracken, Billy Morton, John Hill, Cliff Olsen, Bill Wilkerson, Mike Payne, David Hubbard.

The music program is taking on a new look through a course in Music Laboratory Experience, the aim of which is to develop students as musi¬ cal persons who will make use of it both in and out of school, Music lab classes are making an effort to penetrate space and remote places through ap¬ plied music. Song leading, musical diet, and choice of programs are problems every student faces, for if he does not perform, he listens. Ef¬ forts are not directed toward a miniature conser¬ vatory, but rather toward a music program that may be likened to a cobalt bomb, small but pow¬ erful. A small accomplishment may revea 1 a quality that transcends into Infinite time andspace, for the power of music never dies. Singing Is a major activity. Experimenting with sounds and rhythms, as they apply to choral works, makes for the better understanding which is demanded In performance. Making rhythm in¬ struments and using them in a study of primitive and modern music gives concepts of our day. The scientific approach opens wide the doors wherein students gain meanings and concepts that apply to their own potentials and capacities. Thus we move on from the four walls of the school to time and space eternal, FIRST ROW: Jean Gunn, Becky Sowadski, Gail Milstead, Mary Benedict. SECOND ROW; Joan Slaw, Etter Dennis, Christine Cobb.

The Library Club Advances with the Jet Age In the jet age when information is an essential, the Library Club strives to promote facil¬ ities for making this information available. Through its membership of 18, whose duties range from routine library service to promotion of Book Week and National Library Week, it also stimulates interest in reading, the appearance of the library, ana the use of library materials. The Club ' s activities are handled by committees on elementary library, audio-visual ma¬ terial, Drogram, the trophy case, the scrapbook, and social activities.

Pep Club Serves the Football Squad The Pep Club is a social club which was organized as an auxiliary to the football squad. The dub handles all concessions at the games. Recently a popcorn machine and stove were purchased for the concession stand. All proceeds of the sales go to the athletic fund. The dub is composed of girls chosen from the.sophomore, j uni or and senior classes; and new members are voted into the dub at the beginning of each school year. All members are required to wear the dub colors in the form of a red skirt and white sweater every Friday. The annual Pep Rally sponsored by the Pep Club is enjoyed by all.

Citizenship, Cooperation, Recreation , and Self improvement Are Stressed by the Student Cooperative Association The Student- Cooperative Association of Crewe is an organization consisting of representa¬ tives from each homeroom and presidents of all classes and clubs. Sponsoring a Parliamentary Procedure Class, taught by Mr, Clingenpeel, and a Treasurer ' s Class, taught by Mrs. Hogberg, is one way that the SCA has stressed CITIZENSHIP. The as¬ sociation in cooperation with the government classes also held a miniature political campaign in the spring to elect new SCA officers, CO-OPERATION was shown in the sponsoring of Homecoming festivities in which the en¬ tire school participated wholeheartedly. The SCA promoted RECREATION by playing records each day in the cafeteria at lunch¬ time. Assembly programs sponsored by the SCA stressed SELF-IMPROVEMENT. The Association sent representatives to the District meeting at Amelia and in February sent members to the Youth Forum in Richmond, The SCA also sponsored a Religious Emphasis Week, for the second year, with the cooperation of the local ministerial association. Reverend Joseph White of Richmond, Virginia, was guest speaker; and Dr, John Molnar of Longwood College was the songleader.

Patsy Wilson, Mary Kanipe, and Bessie Jean Williamson place gifts for the needy under the tree at Open House. The Crewe Future Homemakers of America spent an energetic year fulfilling their pur¬ poses. To promote a growing appreciation of the joys and satisfactions of homemaking, they had a program on flower arranging; to emphasize the importance of worthy home member¬ ship, two programs on nutritional foods and home safety were given. To encourage democracy in home and community life, the girls sewed 95 stockings for use by the Nottoway Christmas Committee and held Open House in the cottage on Decem¬ ber 21, at which time they collected several boxes of food and gifts for the Christmas Com¬ mittee work. As the outgrowth of a talk on polio made by Mrs. Kathleen Watson, County Health Nurse, the club decided it could best improve home and family life by sponsoring a polio clinic. Four hundred twenty-five students were inoculated at the December 11 clinic. Volunteer nurses assisting at the clinic were Mrs. W. C. Averett, Mrs. Dick Young, Mrs. Jimmy Chappell, Mrs. J. E. Roop, Mrs. Watson, and Mrs. Sarah Davis. A baby-sitting service was also established enabling more parents to attend PTA meet¬ ings. Fostering the development of creative leadership was accomplished by participation in Federation and State activities. The group sponsored a Hoily Ball, December 19, to con¬ tribute to individual and group recreation. Furthering interest in home economics was car¬ ried out in Open House Parents ' Night in May which included the Emblem Service and in¬ stallation of new officers. Crewe Future Homemakers received the Outstanding Chapter Award for 1958-59, setting a precedent which they hope to maintain. Virginia and Peggy Drinkwater play with some children during a P. T.

Beta Serves Others The Crewe High School Beta Club is a chapter of the National Beta Club whose aims and objectives are to encourage scholarship, develop leadership, and stimulate worthy standards of character and conduct at school, at home, and in the community. It is non-secret, non-profit making, and is open to any student beyond the mid-point of the tenth year whose scholastic average is B or better and whose code of conduct conforms with the standards of the club. Beta ' s motto is Let us Lead by Serving Others. To exemplify this motto, Crewe ' s Betas sponsor the school paper, an annual clean-up campaign, and a Lost and Found service. They also assist teachers in grading papers and typing tests. Once a year during its tapping ceremony, the members make the students cognizant of the principles on which the Beta Club is based. t 44 WALL ROW: Wayne Collins, Carolyn Fisher, Carole Dare Dunn, David Scruggs.

Meeting Deadlines Is The Constant Worry of the Dispatcher Staff! Each day of the week has Its assigned task. Monday finds the staff gathering and writ¬ ing the news. On Tuesday they finish writing the news articles. Some proofreading is al¬ so done at this time. Wednesday is the day to start the make-ups of the dummy. Thurs¬ day is given to typing the stencils. All too quickly it is Friday and the staff frantically headlines the stencils and runs off the paper on the mimeograph machine. After hurriedly distributing the paper, the staff sighs deeply--$ometimes disappointedly. For even with their best efforts, errors are made. Well, no matter what, Monday it is back to work! Then, David Scruggs and Martha Anne Harper type the stencils. In producing The Dispatcher, Carolyn Fisher first types the dummy. Polly Scruggs and Bettie May letter headlines on the mimeoscope, after which Mary Ann Wheary, Carole Dunn, and George Morton stand by as the mimeograph takes over electrically.

The Junior Varsity team, introduced this year for the first time, is designed to teach the fundamentals of Football to boys too young to play on the varsity team. Though score-wise these boys didn ' t win top honors this year, it is felt thaf they derived valuable experience out of playing which will be invaluable to them in later years on the varsi¬ ty team.
