THE 1962 RAILROADER Volume XVI Published by The Students of Crewe High School Crewe, Virginia FOREWORD The Staff of The 1962 Railroader invites you to join them in taking a look at the students in Crewe High School and their many and varied activities. We trust that you will find the record both com¬ plete and interesting. Travis T. DuPriest, Jr., Editor 2 CONTENTS LET’S TAKE A LOOK AT Page THE ADMINISTRATION 11 THE CLASSES 17 ACTIVITIES AND SPECIAL EVENTS 39 ATHLETICS 53 GRADUATION SUPPLEMENT 63 THE ADVERTISERS 69 3 IT IS A STUDENT IT IS A FACULTY IT IS A BUILDING Engrossed in a problem is senior Shirley Schmidt, one of three hundred fifty-five students enrolled inCrewe High’s five classes. Mrs. Jessie Leath, Mrs. Elizabeth Wilson, Mrs. Grace Trice, and Mrs. Christine Clark study questionnaire while others of the 21-member faculty assemble in the library. To thousands of students who have crossed this threshold, this doorway symbolizes Crewe High. It is, however, only one of many found on its 14-acre campus. Mrs. Lucy Fay, new primary teacher, rode with the first graders on their trip toBurkeville the first week. Mrs. Anne Inge, first grade teacher, listens as the students recount their new experiences of the day. These and several others have to transfer from the Burkeville bus to the regular Crewe buses each day. FACILITIES IMPROVED OVER SUMMER In reality, Crewe High includes seven buildings which occupy fourteen acres of land. The portion of Crewe High appearing on page 2 might well be called Old Main. Burned in 1920 and replaced by this brick structure attached to the Tyler Street building, this was Crewe High in its entirety until 1938 when the Home Economics Cottage was added. Then followed the In¬ dustrial Arts building (which now houses four grade - school classes); the Agriculture building; the Cafeteria; and lastly, the Field House. Mounting enrollments have necessitated the use of every nook and corner in these buildings, the addition of a mobile unit, and finally this year, the transferring of one section of the first grade to the Burkeville Ele¬ mentary School. Changes in rooms and facilities have been so numer¬ ous in the past few years that exploring for the new has become customary at the opening of each school year. This year ' s exploration revealed that the Tyler Street building had received a fresh coat of paint on all walls and woodwork; and at long last, Venetian blinds had been placed in the library giving the front of the school a neater and more uniform appearance. A further look into the classrooms revealed several new faces among the members of the faculty. Newcom- ers to this group this year include Mrs. Dorothy Farley, Mrs. Susie Jamison, Mrs. Christine Clark (formerly a seventh-grade teacher), and Mr. Don Michael. Mrs. Vir¬ ginia Cole and Mr. Carl Schwabenton who joined the group in the second semester of last year had also re¬ turned. The schedule also contained the name of Mrs. McKie Farley, driver education instructor, whose ser¬ vices are shared with Blackstone. Mrs. Pauline Thompson who brings hig h school stu¬ dents from Burkeville carries the children back and forth. 6 CHANGES IN CURRICULUM ALSO MADE The master schedule showed two entirely new courses being offered -- Notehand and Geometry, A Unified Course. Notehand which is being taught on an experi¬ mental basis in many high schools throughout Virginia this year is offered to college-bound students to enable them to make more useful notes in lectures, studying, research papers, and original writing. It teaches not only what to put down, but how to record notes quickly through Gregg Notehand, an adaptation of Gregg Short¬ hand. The one-semester course will be followed by a short course in personal use typewriting. The student living in a three-dimensional world will find Geometry: A Unified Course much more meaningful and appealing than a course restricted to geometry of the plane. The course successfully blends the two-and three- dimensional Euclidean concepts, traditionally taught as plane geometry and solid geometry, into a logical and workable form. Since one and one-half years of geometry have now been combined into one year, Crewe High will be able to add another new course next year in college algebra. After being absent from the curriculum for several years, a class in dramatics is again being offered. This course is designed to be both academic and practical. It teaches the interpretation of serious drama, as well as giving the students some experience in the application of stage procedures, behavior, etc. Its first production, The Stolen Prince by Dan Totheroh, completely cap¬ tivated the P-TA audience in December, and the student body at its Christmas assembly. The oriental custom of having all changes of scenery and properties take place before the audience proved highly entertaining. An or¬ chestra provided appropriate background music. Tee DuPriest makes use of his Notehand skill in making notes for a research paper. Mrs. Loutrell Jennings shows off the new equipment being used in geometry classes. The cast of The Stolen Prince includes Arthur Gravatt, Dannie Shipp, Julian Bradshaw, Kenny Toney, Jimmy McGhee, Marsha Honaker, Carole Trice, Diane Horner, Billy Norton, Dukie Norton, and J. W. Vaughan. In the orchestra were Linda Elliott, Wilma Slate, Alice J. Walker, Emily Hale, Robbie DuPriest, Bill Wilkerson, and Alice Habel. 7 Seniors, Bucky Saunders and Bobby Lester are en- Sally Tod Pottage and Judy Longbottom examine grossed in the new circular graph used in trigonom- the globe used in spherical trig and solid geometry, etry. CLASSES BENEFIT FROM NEW EQUIPMENT Most of the new equipment in use in Crewe High this year was secured through the National Defense Education Act. This equipment has made the classroom teaching time more productive of results. These visual aids are excellent for faster initial learning. In math¬ ematics the transparent, three-dimensional models demonstrate concepts more clearly than any other method. Devices such as the extensible triangle and quadrilateral, universal circle, etc., give the student an opportunity to see more clearly the theorems and corollaries they are attempting to prove. Through the use of records and tapes which were secured through the aid of National Defense Education Act funds, the students make realistic approach to the study of the French language. They have the opportu¬ nity to hear French spoken by both male and female Frenchmen. On the new recording machine, by using earphones and double tape, the students can hear the spoken French, repeat what they have heard, and then play this back to check their own pronunciation. The students enjoy singing the recorded French songs. French becomes a more vital, living language as the students become better acquainted with lan¬ guage as it is spoken by the native Frenchman. Additional equipment secured under this same Act has been added to the lab and other science classrooms to further facilitate the approach to an understanding of science. Mrs. Elizabeth Wilson adjusts the Lewis Shipp listens to the language Mrs. Mildred DuPriest explains the tape recorder for clearer French lab tape recorder with functioning properties of air with the aid of reception. box. the new charts. 8 Photographers Pollard and Long- bottom examine General Business display. Jean Baldwin gladly turns switch to automatically operate the mime¬ ograph. Henrietta Bowman and Peggy Schutt pack recipe sheets in pre¬ paration for cutting. RECENT PROGRAM ADDITIONS CONTINUED The Music Laboratory Class learns to understand music through experiences in music. These areas in¬ clude singing, reading, writing, playing, listening, and performing. Through these activities they gain mean¬ ings, concepts, and principles relating to pitch, dura- tion.form, and interpretation in music. Applied learn¬ ings on the local, district, and state levels are impor¬ tant events of the year. In addition to the five units of English, two of lab¬ oratory science, two of math, one of U. S. and Vir¬ ginia history, and one ofU.S. and Virginia govern¬ ment required for graduation, the curriculum offers a total of thirty-four electives from which the student may choose. Both of the new business department courses added last year have been continued - -General Business (a course in elementary economics and general business information), and Transcription II which includes ad¬ vanced typewriting, transcription from shorthand notes, and the use of office machines. As a service project following instruction in the use of the mimeograph, the members of the Transcription class mimeographed 200 copies of a 105-page book of recipes for the Episcopal Churchwomen of Crewe. The physics class inaugurated in 1960 continues to be offered, and additional equipment secured under the National Defense Education Act has been added to the laboratory. Lewis Shipp, Bobby Bradshaw, Judy Longbottom, and Bucky Saunders experiment to prove Archimedes ' principle. The Music Lab group includes G. W. Pace, Becky Sowadski, Nancy Clements, Joyce Leonard,Sidney Rodriguez;(SECOND ROW) Sharon Mullins, Pat Sowadski, Mrs. Julia Brown; and (BACK ROW) Steve Woody. NOT SHOWN: Sue Hill. 9 SCHOOL GUIDANCE Representatives from the Army, Air Corps, Coast Guard, Marines, and Navy discussed military service obligations and opportunities. Dr. A. L. Walker, director of the Business Education Service for Virginia, spoke on office work ingeneral in the state. PROGRAM A VITAL FACTOR For the third consecutive year,Crewe High participated in the state testing program.Ninth and eleventh grade stu¬ dent s, as well as all new students in other classes who had not taken the tests last year, were subjected to three and one-half days of testing. The program was stepped up so as not to interfere with so many day ' s work as in other years. These tests--two known as SCAT (School and College Abil¬ ity Test) and five known as STEP (Sequential Test of Ed¬ ucational Progress) were administered in September. Tests were again scored in Iowa City, Iowa, and test results re¬ turned 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. On October 11, Crewe High School, through its guidance department, assisted by the Student Co-Operative Associ¬ ation, was host to juniors from Prince Edward Academy, Randolph-Henry, Cumberland, Blackstone, Amelia, Vic¬ toria, and Kenbridge High Schools. Representatives from sixty colleges, industries, and the services met with these students.Three conference periods were available for each student with individual interviews made possible by ap¬ pointment. All of Crewe High School ' s facilities were used, as well as several classrooms in nearby Pryor Memorial Presbyte¬ rian Church. The purpose of these meetings is to acquaint the students with what colleges, industries, and businesses expect of high school graduates, and to get the students who expect to attend college to start making contacts early in their junior year so that they will be able to make appli¬ cation for enrollment early. Mr. E. R. Sheffield and Mrs. Gloria Weishaar of the Bank of Crewe staff talked with students concerning bank employment. Mary Newcomb, Mr. Clark, and Carolyn Emerson talk with Chowan College representative. 10 LeU Tab a Look -At THE ADMINISTRATION A SMOOTHLY FUNCTIONING SCHOOL DEPENDS UPON THESE ADMINISTRATORS H. L.

THE JUNIORS BUSY THEMSELVES SELLING MAGAZINES, From the vantage point of juniors, the most out¬ standing date in our minds is September, 1958. Yes, that ' s when thirty-two Burkeville students came to mingle and make friends with fifty eighth graders of Crewe. You can bet that we were a very confused bunch, but it didn ' t take long to settle down to the new experience of class periods, physical education, etc. Sandra Elliott led us well as our president. The Mighty Midgets, with eleven of our boys playing, were cheered on to an undefeated 6-0 record by the cheerleaders -- Nancy Trump, Sandra Elliott, Linda Hay,Gloria Pond, Donna Lingerfelt, Judy Atkins, Lane Shell, Pat Redford, and Jewel Harper. Our Homecom¬ ing colors were worn by Linda Hay. Sandra Elliott and Jimmy McGhee represented us in the Valentine court. Being freshmen made us feel grown up and impor¬ tant. David Milton became class president. Our first varsity cheerleader was Sandra Elliott. Paul Ellett, Chuck Shorter, Kenny Toney, Jimmy McGhee, Preston Hubbard, Jewel Harper, and Lane Shell were our first varsity athletes. Freshman Homecoming princesses were Judy Atkins and Sandra Elliott. In February, Lane Shell and Preston Hubbard were elected to the Valen¬ tine Court. That year, Tommy Pfirman joined our ranks. We shall never forget the Detention Hall estab¬ lished in 1959 in which several of our members par¬ ticipated quite frequently. We began to take a larger part in school activities as minute but mighty sophomores. That year we lost two outstanding students, Sandra Elliott and Harold Nase. However, we gained two new ones, David Han¬ kins, and John Walrod, whom we singled out as our president. Lane Shell and Judy Atkins were our var¬ sity cheerleaders, with Linda Hay as an alternate. Charlotte Dobbins, Judy Atkins, and Pat Redford wore our colors at Homecoming. Valentine representatives were Lane Shell, Donna Lingerfelt, Paul Ellett, and John Walrod. When Kenny Toney was named to the All-Tournament Team at Hampden-Sydney and Judy Atkins was named Miss Crewe High, our class re¬ ally gained recognition. Our most important memories have come this year. John Walrod was again elected president, Pat Redford became our third cheerleader, and our Homecoming princesses were Nancy Trump, Pat Redford, Judy At¬ kins, and Lane Shell. We were all proud of Jimmy McGhee when he was named Outstanding Back of the Year. Our biggest event this fall was the magazine sale. With Preston Hubbard as campaign manager, over $1700 worth of magazines were sold. Paul Ellett surpassed all previous sales records with a grand total of $208. Chuck Johnson, Linda Hay, Preston Hubbard, and Charlotte Dobbins were also high salesmen. And so, forty-four strong, we are anticipating re¬ ceiving our class rings and planning for the Junior- Senior.

REORGANIZATION IS SUCCESS The reorganization of the Pep Club last year from a social club to a ser¬ vice club has proved to be very satisfactory and successful. This year was Pep Club’s year to sell at all home football games. Each member co-operated and helped to take in a large sum of money which will be contributed to the ath¬ letic fund at the end of the year. The club also sponsored two sock Hops at the Community Center after the home football games. Jerry Good spun the records and helped to make the dances a big success. The Pep Tea was held this year in the home of Anne Dixon. At the beginning of the school year, 15 new members from the sophomore, junior, and senior classes were voted in. Each Friday all club members wear the Pep Club colors, red and white. On the first Friday of the month, the block style red emblems in the form of a P are worn. Mrs. Boswell, Sponsor, and Patsy Wilson, President, enjoy the initi¬ ation tea. Nancy LaNeave hoists another box on the pile in preparation for the bonfire.

The Crewe Chapter of Future Farmers of America, an extra-curricular club that promotes agricultural leadership, cooperation, and citizenship boasts of fifty-five members. In this organization, educational and recreational facil¬ ities are developed among the boys studying vocational agriculture and shop. Crewe ' s chapter is affiliated with the LAND Federation, Virginia Future Farmers of America, and the national organization as well. Membership is divided into three degrees--Green Hands, Chapter Farmers, and State Farmers. Billy Boswell awards Keep Vir¬ ginia Green cards and conducts formal Green Hand initiation.

ACE OF CLUBS, A SERVICE ORGANIZATION Last year, Ace of Clubs, Crewe ' s oldest social club became a service club. Its main purpose is to sponsor athletic events. Members are chosen from the Sophomore, Junior, and Senior classes for their interest in school activities and their ability to co-operate with the other members and their fellow school friends. They are required to wear the Club colors, green ana white, each Thursday. The three-leaf clover with the letters ACE superim¬ posed is the Club ' s insignia. This year the new members were entertained with a banquet at the Crewe Community Center. The tra¬ ditional candlelight installation service followed the banquet. In the spring, Ace of Clubs will operate the con¬ cession stand for baseball season. As the profits from spring games are always small, Ace has sponsored sev- eral sock hops after basketball games and manned a stand at the R.E.A. Day in order to be able to make a sizable contribution to the athletic fund. Members Schutt, Bowman, Milton, and Newcomb use some friendly persua¬ sion at the Ace banquet. Mrs. Bridgforth, Club sponsor, ponders over the selection of food at the banquet. Gail Milstead (Secretary) hangs a poster advertising one of the sock hops spon¬ sored by the Ace. 42 FIRST ROW:Laurie Goldsmith, (Treasurer), Judy Luns¬ ford, (Secretary), Virginia Drinkwater (President), Jean Gunn (Vice-President).

LIBRARY CLUB INSPIRES INTEREST IN THE LIBRARY The Library Club is a service club whose main ob¬ jectives are to arouse greater interest among the stu¬ dents in the use of books and other library services, and to stimulate an interest in reading. These objec¬ tives are accomplished by attractive posters, bulletin boards, an assembly program, and the observance of Book Week and National Library Week. The club also strives to improve library services to the school, to purchase additional books and audio¬ visual materials, and to improve the appearance of the library. To raise the necessary funds, the Library Club members sell Christmas cards and gift-wrap¬ pings. The services rendered by the members are numer¬ ous. Homeroom representatives are responsible for de¬ livering daily to each homeroom the overdue slips. Student library assistants are eligible for membership in the club. Invitations are issued to prospective mem¬ bers in the Fall. Those accepting are formally in¬ ducted at a meeting of the club. Standing committees execute the activities of the Library Club. Jean Gunn, as chairman of the program committee, prepares the piogram for each meeting. The publicity committee, headed by Judy LongDot- tom, puts articles in the paper, fixes bulletin boards andthe trophy case, and keeps a scrapbook. Judy Luns¬ ford is chairman of the elementary committee which is responsible for reading to the elementary grades, checking out books, fixing their bulletin boards, etc. The projector committee services the projector. The social committee is responsible for the social function.

WORKS FOR THE IMPROVEMENT OF The Crewe Future Homemakers of America have contributed much to the school and community this year. The club has continued those projects held in previous years which have proved worth while and has added new projects and objectives to its yearly pro¬ gram . Notices were sent in November reminding students who had been given their second or third polio shot at the Polio Clinic held by FHA last year to report to their physician for a booster shot. Also, in November, the club emphasized family unity” by sponsoring Family Night. The FHA girls and their families en¬ joyed a covered -dish supper with entertainment after¬ ward .

Girls in home economics classes prepared refreshments and decora¬ ted the Home Ec cottage for the annual Christmas Open House.

THE HOME, THE SCHOOL, AND THE COMMUNITY Christmas program. During the weeks before Christmas, the FHA girls sewed aprons, stuffed toys, and potholders, and baked cookies, cakes, and pies for a Christmas bake sale and bazaar. The beginning of the Christmas holidays was celebrated by a semi-formal Christmas dance for high school students at the Community Center. Small groups of FHA members take turns main¬ taining a baby-sitting service for small children whose parents are attending PTA meetings. The youngsters enjoy supervised recreation and the stories told to them by the FHA girls. This year the club has added several new programs to its agenda. In the spring, FHA will sponsor a Daddy Date Night and a kitchen tour. The annual Mother- Daughter Reception will be held in May. Crewe chapter is especially proud of Patricia Red- fordwho was elected Vice-President of the Longwood Federation of Future Homemakers this year. Active in FHA work, Pat is also president of the Crewe chapter this year. Installation of 1961-62 officers of Longwood Federation.Vice-Presi¬ dent, Pat Redford, is third from left.

STUDENT CO-OPERATIVE COUNCIL LINKS STUDENT ACTIVITIES The Student Co-operative Council which is a re¬ presentative group of the entire student body is com¬ posed of all class and club presidents, and a represent¬ ative from each homeroom. Every student is a mem¬ ber of the Student Co-operative Association at Crewe High School. Homecoming is one of the SCA ' s many activities. Homecoming festivities include the crowning of the homecoming Queen at half-time and a dance. The homecoming court enlivens the dance with a figure. Mrs. Mildred DuPriest, sponsor, directs these activi - ties. This year SCA, in conjunction with the local Min¬ isterial Association, sponsored a Religious Emphasis Week. Reverend Robertson of Arlington was our guest speaker; Reverend Bethuneof Victoria, our song leader. This is a biannual activity of our SCA.

THE DISPATCHER, A DAILY UNDERTAKING In producing Crewe High ' s newspaper, The Dis¬ patcher, each day of the week is filled with one or more of the phases of collection and preparation of news articles. Monday finds the co-editors assigning duties to the staff. Tuesday, the staff members turn in their news articles; some proofreading is also done at this time. Wednesday is the day to start the dummying. Thursday is spent in typing and pre¬ paring the stencils. All too soon it is Friday again and the staff fran¬ tically headlines the stencils and runs off the paper on the mimeograph machine. After assembling and distributing the paper, each member of the staff breathes a deep sigh--sometimes disappointedly. For after all their hard work, the finished product does not always say what they intend it to say, and errors have a way of creeping in. But come rain or shine, Monday it is back to work again! Billy Ragland prepares to run off an edition of The Dispatcher on the mimeograph machine. Janet Milton performs a last-min¬ ute job on the mimeoscope ma¬ chine, headlining stencils. Mr. Via, principal, inspects the finished product as the assembly line keeps moving. Jimmy Carrington, home-bound student, is tapped into Beta Club by President Billy Gregory.

BETA LEADS BY SERVING OTHERS” The Beta Club at Crewe High School endeavors to promote the stand¬ ards of National Beta which are a high moral character, leadership, and achievement. students who have maintained a scholastic average of ”B or better through the mid-term of their sophomore year and show to the satisfaction of the club that they will keep up their scholastic average are considered for membership. Each eligible candidate is then thoroughly screened by the faculty and the club. Since the adoption of the new constitution last year, Beta has stressed the importance of a high moral character. Therefore, only those students whose personal conduct conforms with the standards set forth in the con¬ stitution are accepted for membership. All prospective members are formally inducted into the club at a spe¬ cial tapping ceremony in an assembly. The highlight of the Beta year is the state convention held in March alternating between Richmond and Roanoke. Although the main purpose is to elect state officers, Betas also receive valuable suggestions and ideas from the speeches and group discussions he ld at the convention. Those who attend also learn the workings of a real convention by participating in the varied campaigns and in their own club’s caucus. Beta ' s service program at Crewe High includes the sponsorship of the school paper, The Dispatcher (for which Betas contribute editorials), two Beta Hops and bake sales, and the traditional Valentine program and dance which are presided over by the King and Queen of Hearts chosen from the seniors by the entire student body. To make the students aware of Beta ' s principles, congratulatory notes are issued to every non-Beta student from the eighth through twelfth grades for attaining the honor roll. New members tapped in February are Danny Shipp, Julian Bradshaw, Gay Mason, J. W. Vaughan, Billy Mason, John Walrod, Rennie Tremble, Nadine Fender, Martha Jacobs, Jean Baldwin, and Jimmy Carrington. MEMBERS OF THE COURT: John Walrod (Master of Ceremonies), Henrietta Bowman, Dick Shorter, Mar¬ garet Slate, Tommy Pfirman, Jean Gunn, Richard Smith, Diane Ingram, Dukey Norton, Debra Saun¬ ders, Jimmy Perkins (Gentleman-in-Waiting), Bobby Lester (King of Hearts), Mary Hale (Queen of Hearts), Susan Robertson (Lady-in-Waiting), Ricky Webster, Nancy Ragland, Bucky Drinkwater,Nancy LaNeave, Wayne Morgan, Dale Scott, Allen Collins, Amy Bass, Preston Hubbard. CROWNBEARERS: Marilyn Moore (SEATED), Douglas Maitland (NOT SHOWN). BETA PRESENTS CREWE HIGH’S OWN FAIRYTALE FANTASIES.” ’’Fairytale Fantasies,” with apologies to Mother Goose, was the theme of Beta Club’s annual Queen of Hearts program staged on Valentine ' s Day. The committee responsible for planning the skits included Sally Tod Pottage, Anne Dixon, Bobby Bradshaw, Billy Gregory, Tee” DuPriest.and Mrs. Thelma Coleman. First to appear before the Queen, Mary Hale, and her court was the fabled Queen of Hearts (Diane Horner) who baked some tarts which were stolen by J. W. Vaughan. Little Bo Peep (Bessie Jean William - son) had trouble in finding her sheep but finally dragged sheep (Billy Fox) bound and gagged across the stage. Barbara Ashmore and Cramer Boswell did double duty by portraying both a modern version of Jenny Wren and Curly Locks. In Little Miss Muffet, Pat Redford (as Miss Fitzgerald), was convincingly scared by spider, Vernon Spradlin. Old King Cole (Billy Boswell) called for his fid¬ dlers three (Jim McGhee, Joe May, Bucky Weather¬ ford) in true Golubic fashion. Dennis Kanipe, as Wee Willie Winkie, was becomingly dressed in nightie and cap. Little Girl, Little Girl (Shirley Schmidt) teased Master of Ceremonies Walrod with her line . Jane Nunnally, as the Little Girl Who Lived in Crewe, proved definitely that she knew what to do with her beaux (J. W. Vaughan, Billy Boswell, and Julian Bradshaw). Somehow, in this performance, the Five Little Pigs weren ' t LITTLE at all, but proved to be basketballers Vaughn Bozman, Chuck Johnson, James Wilkerson, Johnny Johnson, and Bucky Weather¬ ford. Patsy Wilson was typically cast as A Diller, A Dollar scholar enroute to the office for a trady slip . Steve Woody, Jane Nunnally, Bessie Jean Williamson, and Shirley Schmidt lent an entirely new slant to Peter, Peter, Pumpkin Eater. Dennis Kanipe as Georgie Porgie surprised every¬ one by kissing Princess Dale Scott, making her cry; but when Vernon Spradlin came out to play, he chased Georgie Porgie away! Ann Gray Farrar, as Puddy Tat, frightened Billy Fox with her stare; and Patsy Wilson, as Old Mother Hubbard, went to the closet to get her poor daughter a dress; but when she got there, the closet was bare, and so was her daughter (Susan Bos¬ well), we guess! There Was a Little Girl (Anne Dixon) who showed how horrid she could be by shouting at the top of her voice. Julian Bradshaw as the big, bad wolf held no fears for Linda Hay as Little Red Riding Hood. Modern Jack and Jill (Diane Hor¬ ner and J. W. Vaughan) went out to old 49 and had trouble get¬ ting back to Crewe. SEATED (clockwise): Sally Tod Pottage, Judy Luns¬ ford, Judy Longbottom (Assistant Business Manager), Rosalie Flynn, Emory Pollard (Business Manager), Mar¬ garet Slate(Associate Editor), Tee DuPriest(Editor), Lou-Ann Schenck. STANDING: Mr. Don Michael and Mrs.Geraldine Hagberg(Advisors), and Carolyn Emer¬ son. THE 1962 RAILROADER, AN AFTER-SCHOOL PROJECT The 1962 Railroader has indeed been an extra¬ curricular activity! With no time during the school day that the members of the staff could get together, both its size and work were limited thereby. Duties have overlapped, everyone has had experience in copy writing and headlining, picture taking, typing of copy, selling of advertising, and dummy pre¬ paring. Emory Pollard and Judy Longbottom spearheaded the securing of advertising: they were aided by Rich¬ ard Bradshaw in Burkeville. Salesmen appointed in each homeroom were com - pletely responsible for a record-breaking sale of the book. Those who aided in this respect were Margaret Slate, Patsy Harvey, Jimmy McGhee, Linda Ward, Billy Mason, Aline Sadler, Danny Shipp, Joyce Leo¬ nard, Emily Hale, Gloria Ellett, Edith Covington, Sandra Elliott, and Gloria Weatherford. As in other duties of the staff, photography be¬ came everyone ' s responsibility. With special coach¬ ing from Mr. Don Michael, most of the staff learned to operate the new staff camera, as well as his Po¬ laroid which saved the day when deadlines had to be met. Again this year, we are grateful to alumnus Herbert Wheary, III, for photographying large groups and athletic events. Bobby Oakes, too, assisted in picture taking. The 1962 Railroader staff is extremely grateful to Mrs. Geraldine Hagberg and Mr. Michael, advisors, for spending much of their time in assisting with the preparation of this annual. Don ' t forget! At the opening of the new school year, you will receive, at no extra cost to you, a graduation supplement which includes spring festiv¬ ities and graduation activities.
