Dickie Meadows Herbert Mayton Rhea Lee Mahan Bert Turner Melvin Payne President Vice-President Secretary Treasurer Reporter We Juniors Will Lead the Way! good-humored Roger Cabiness joined our ranks, and Ray Barlow was named Outstanding Back of the year. 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. Nell Wells and Barbara Akers Janet Archer Ronnie Armes
