Po) Via; principal; Mrs, Adele Hubbard, secretary; and the faculty when Mrs, Amanda Faris's second grade moved to the mobile unit and work began on the new offices last spring. Doors were Cut, Walls knocked down, and counters erected. This enlargement proved a blessing to faculty as well as students, Mrs, Elizabeth Wilson, guidance counselor, and Miss Lillie Tucker, visiting teacher, now occupy the former office of the principal. Mr. Via and his Board of Educa- tion surprised by photographer's visit. Now it's allstraight and neat awaiting a visit from student or teacher. WHAT’S NEW? Mr. Via has all new furnishings in his larger office except for a few old, familiar stand-bys such as the safe and his “board of education. The biggest improvement was made in the file-lined outer office where Mrs. Hubbard has her desk, Mr. R. J. Golubic issues excuses, and those helping in the office sell school supplies. The large work table and spirit duplicator, which occupy one corner, are used almost constantly by faculty and students. The old offices vacated by Mr. Via are used for guidance purposes exclusively, Pamphlets, catalogues, and brochures on jobs and colleges are easily accessible to students. Mrs. Wilson is now able to counsel students in private without having to cope with constant, irrelevant! interruptions, The students consult her on many problems, the answers to which they find through careful counseling and the use of the large supply of information available in her offices. All of the promised furnishings have not arrived, but the essentialshave been enhanced through the generosity of the class of 1960. A large, portable fan helped to cool the small rooms during the hot summer months when many stu- dents sought guidance in preparing their 1960-61 schedules. More recently, Mrs. Wilson acquired from the same funds a dynamic water-color seascape, the work of Mr. J. Gay, Jr. of Richmond, who has been teaching an evening class in Crewe. For one waiting for an interview, there is much to admire and ponder in this new setting. Herbert Mayton and Bernard Schutt give some teacher an assist with tests. CHOOSE 3 Youn CAREER Mailboxes in the old outer office hold catalogues and pamphlets for students. Attractive bulletin board display features the need for early career planning. Mrs. Wilson must have been in class when this picture of her office was taken. STATE TESTING PROGRAMS Again this year, Crewe High participated in the state testing program. Ninth and eleventh grade students, as well as any new students in other classes who had not taken the tests last year, were subjected to seven days of testing. These tests--two known as SCAT (School and College Ability Test) and five known as STEP (Sequential Test of Educa- tional Progress)--were administered the first 90 minutes of each school day between September 19 and 27. Tests were again scored by the Monster scoring device in Iowa City, Iowa; and test results were returned to the school for study and use, These scores are available for guidance use by both teachers and parents, forming a part of the permanent record of each student. Eighth grade students were given Differential Aptitude Tests put out by The Psychological Corporation. These form a basis for guidance in subject matter fields in high school. The Iowa Silent Reading tests will be given them in the Spring. Juniors had the privilege of taking the Merit Scholarship Tests as a basis for applying for regional scholarships after they graduate. As a result of these tests, the students are often recognized by and given scholarships in the colleges of their choice. Those not planning to enter college were given the Gen. Aptitude Test Battery in co-operation with a representative of the State Employment Office. Non-college-bound stu- dents learn from these tests what they are best fitted to do; and on the basis of these tests, the Employment Office helps the students find a job. Mrs. Blanchard Foote, Mrs. Louise Jenkins, and Mrs. Anne Inge run off copies on the Azograph. ONLY TWO NEW SUBJECTS OFFERED The only subject-matter changes have come about in the field of business education. A newcourse known as General Business is being offered on the ninth-and tenth-year level. This is a course in elementary economics and general business information. Typing II has been separated into two sections--one section for those interested in becoming clerk-typists, the other for those students who are shorthand writers. The latter course, known as Transcription II, includes advanced typewriting, transcription from shorthand notes, and use of office ma- chines, MOBILE UNIT PUT INTO USE Mrs, Amanda Faris's second grade is housed in the bright, shiny, new mobile classroom. The unit is completely equipped as a classroom, but in a very compact Way; Alte conditioned in hot weather, warm in winter, it forms a cozy, neat Classroom, Its only fault lies in its location--so near the playground and the cafeteria. Whenever anyone or any - thing bumps against its walls on the outside, it sounds like a bomb to those inside, Mrs. Juanita Yates's Transcription II Class learns howto use the Frieden electric calculator. cozy. Inside the Mobile Unit, Mrs. Faris's second grade looks comfortable and P. T. A. INSTALLS JUNGLE GYM Late last spring, the Parent-Teacher Association bought and installeda jungle gym on the playground near the cafe- teria. The grade school children (large and small) derive great pleasure from climbing in and out of the many bars and acting like little monkeys,” as one high school senior observed. OTHER EQUIPMENT PURCHASED Last year's seniors also contributed a sprinkler system for use at the athletic field. Last year's baseball team fought the weather anda muddy field all season. They finally resorted to practicing in Burkeville. Following the installation of the sprinkler, however, new grass was sown and a good stand of grass obtained. The old driver-education car, a 1960 model red and white Chevrolet, has been replaced by a tan 1961 Chevrolet Bel- Air,complete with dual safety brakes. Mrs. McKie Farley, driving instructor, strives to instill good driving habits in her students, as well as respect for pedestrians and motorists. After’ completion of the driver education program, which consists of 36 hours' classroom instruction and 7 hours’ in- the-car training, all male students are eligible for a 10% reduction in insurance rates, Mrs. McKie Farley, Driver Educa- tion Teacher, explains to Herbert Mayton proper driving procedure. : | h i Mi = roe neem serene en eet saenconloomerrenrnecnii eee act nem : THE ADMINISTRATION CHARTS THE COURSE ALERT ADMINISTRATORS SEEK TO IMPROVE CREWE’S SCHOOL H.

Though Railroader photographer Jack Boswell was not aware of it when he took this picture of the Nottoway County School Board, the chief business of the day cen- tered around a discussion of a school building program for the county. It is re- ported that Superintendent H. L. Blanton suggested that the board first learn what the people of the county want by contacting parent-teacher associations and the forming of an advisory committee. If a consolidated high school were to be built, then the present building could be used for the elementary grades only. § 1 8 Mw TE 13:14:16 16:17:18 18 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 21282900 2 MRS.

We started off by electing Joe May as our president and Carolyn Widgins to represent us in Homecoming Court. Contrary to tradition, our midget football team, composed of Donald Afflerbach, Swan Boswell, Bobby Bradshaw, Buck Cochran, Danny Elliot, Steve Rice, Bootsie Staples, and Bucky Saunders, was defeated for the first time in a number of years. Even so, the cheerleaders--Norma Clements, Anne Dixon, Charlotte Dobbins, Virginia Drinkwater, Kay Johnson, Sunny Robertson, Shirley Schmidt, Peggy Schutt, and Barbara Vanarsdall--as well as the rest of the class, were proud of them. We chose Joe Jenkins and Norma Clements to represent us in the Valentine Court. Feeling very grown-up, we reached our Freshman year with a class of 92. Billy Boswell led us that year, and our Homecoming representative was Jane Nunnally. Homecoming was made especially exciting because our float won first place. Only three members of our class--Bobby Bradshaw, Joe May, and Bucky Saunders--played in varsity sports. Anne Dixon was a varsity cheerleader. Dale Scott and Bucky Saunders represented us on Valentine's Day. As a body of 89 Sophomores, we let the upper classmen know we were around by joining clubs and participating in varsity sports. In 1959-60, Billy Boswell, Swan Boswell, Bootsie Staples, Bucky Saunders, Charlotte Dobbins, Patsy Wilson, and Susan Robertson played for the varsities.

Virginia Drink- water, Sunny Robertson, and Carolyn Widgins represented us at Homecoming. This year Shirley Schmidt and Bessie Williamson with their escorts, Bobby Bradshaw and Tommie Jenkins, represented the class in the Valentine Court. The doorway to the Junior Class opened to only 65 students. We elected Tommie Jenkins as our presi- dent; our Homecoming representatives were Mary Hale, Mary Newcomb, Lou Ann Schenck and Shirley Schmidt. Several from our class were elected of- ficers in the various clubs and organizations, and Carolyn Widgins was elected the third varsity cheer- leader. As Juniors, we have many exciting things to look forwardto. Already we have proved ourselves in beating all previous magazine-selling records at Crewe High by selling $2,200 worth of magazines. Tommie Jenkins was high salesman with $170; and close behind were Billy Gregory, Sally Tod Pottage, Virginia Drinkwater, and Bobby Bradshaw. Tommie received a trophy and a watch (it fell apart after ten days!). Inthe drawings, Bucky Saunders won $10 and Sally Tod Pottage won a skunk (it was stuffed.) The proceeds from the magazine sale will be used for the Junior-Senior banquet and dance. We, the Class of '62, are looking forward to having another prosperous year in Crewe High School before we walk through the doorway into college and to our life's work.

STANDING: LIBRARY CLUB OPENS DOOR TO KNOWLEDGE The Library Club, one of the most important school-wide service clubs in Crewe High School, helps to turn the key to the door of knowledge. Although its membership is small, its duties are great. They range from routine library service in the elemen- tary andhigh school libraries, such as checking out books, writ- ing fine-due slips, and putting books on shelves, to the pr omotion of Book Week and National Library Week. These are promoted through posters, moving pictures, and guest lecturers. In the early fall, plans were made for National Library Week, April 17-23, when Miss Bessie Conway Lewis of the Knox Press in Richmond was invited to be the guest speaker for the Library Club Assembly. The Club's activities are executed through these committees: Elementary Library (Jean Baldwin, Chairman); Publicity, Trophy Case, and Scrapbook (Judy Longbottom, Chairman); Program (Herbert Mayton, Chairman); Audio-Visual (Jack Boswell, Chairman); and Social (Judy Lunsford, Chairman). Some duties of these committees are reading stories to the children in the primary grades, running the Elementary Library smoothly, keep- ing projectors in good working order, and arranging attractive displays in the case in the front hall. 37 Student- assistant Roger Norton looks through file for card to book.

QUITEH ‘CAN DO” — EMPHASIS OF FUTURE HOMEMAKERS OF AMERICA Crewe High's Future Homemakers of America have not only the longest list of objectives of any organization in the school, but also the ratio of attainment of these objectives is exceptionally high. The association sought to “help individual members develop their po- tential abilities by establishing real and lasting values. Due to the success of the Polio Clinic held last year, they conducted another clinic, under the chairmanship of Patsy Wilson, to help protect this community from the ravages of polio. This service was offered to OFFICERS AFTER THEIR INSTALLATION: parents as well as to younger students. One hundred twenty-nine persons were inoculated December 9. Mrs. W.C. Averett and Mrs. J. E. Roop, volunteer nurses, assisted Dr. W. D. Rusher and Dr. Wilson Watts in ad- ministering the shots. Members of Patsy's Committee were Laurie Goldsmith, Brenda Jones, Linda Ragland, Rosalie Flynn, Patsy Harvey, Judy Atkins, Pat Redford, and Virginia Drinkwater, Again this year, F.H.A. girls offered a baby-sitting service to the parents of young children so that they Patricia Leslie (President), Patsy Wilson (Vice President), Patricia Redford (Secretary), Mrs. Jessie Leath (Sponsor), Judy Atkins (Treasurer), Virginia Page (Reporter), Henrietta Bowman (Historian), and Linda Hay (Chaplain.) Drinkwater Longwood Federation secretary, Pat Redford, is active in Crewe Chapter. might attend the Parent-Teacher meetings unencumbered with small fry. Each member was a baby-sitter at least once during the year for a PTA meeting. When the District Student Cooperative Association met at Crewe High on Saturday, November 19, members of the F.H.A. under the chairmanship of Pat Redford, served luncheon to the delegates so that they would not have to leave the school at noon, Perhaps the greatest outreach of the association stemmed from its aid to the Nottoway County Christmas Committee. The Committee again asked the girls to make red tarlatan stockings to be filled by the Committee for use in its Christmas boxes, Patsy Harvey was chairman for this group. The girls spent many hours in preparing food to be served and in making decorations in the cottage for the Christmas Open House. F.H.A, members were gracious hostesses to all who came bringing a gift of toys, food, or money for the needy. It took twocars to transport these gifts to the County offices on December 20; almost $40 in money was also contributed, Rep- resentatives of F.H.A. went along and assisted the Christmas Committee in filling its boxes. Their contributions went a long way toward making Christinas merry for the less fortunate in Nottoway County. As this book goes to press, a committee headed by Bessie Jean Williamson is pondering the annual gift for the cottage. Peggy Drinkwater, Laurie Jean Jenkins, and Nancy Trump are assisting Bessie Jean with the selection, In March, Mr. E. R. Sheffield will talk to the association on money man- agement, In April, the girls plan a Mother-Daughter Reception and Fashion Show, at which time the new officers for 1961-62 will be installed.

Winnie Buford( Johnny Irvin) decides he will borrow his twinsister, Binnie's (Virginia Elliott) clothes and don a wig (1) inorder to convince his visiting Aunt Sophronia (Marguerite Oliver) to leave him $5,000 as well as his twin sister and his older sister Evelyn (Patricia Leslie). As the home of Mrs. Buford (Doris Thompson) is the gathering place for all the young folks, Jean and Betty (Frances Ann Firesheets and Marion Poole) (2), their boy friends (Bobby Strum and Dick Nelson) (3), and Evelyn's best beau, Jim Travis (Teeny Foote) (4), and Spike Whitten(Jack Boswell) (5), Winnie's pal, are all inon the conspiracy to keep Aunt Sophronia (who loathes boys) from learning of Winnie's deceit. Camilla Dusenberry (Barbara Akers) adds to the humor of the situation with her awkwardness (6) and bossy ways. During her stay, the boys have been especially nice to Aunt Sophronia, so she announces that if there had been a boy to carry on the family name, she would have given him $25,000. Winnie has to unmask (7), and true to her word, she gives him $25,000. Joyce Simonton, Jay Boswell, and Lynn Wilson (8) were prompters and sound-effects makers. 64 WILLIAM GRIFFIN KINGERY Billy Glee 3; Railroader 4. .
