Create Vivid Recollections Mr. Jones, the first supervisor of education in Notto¬ way County, pays a visit to Crewe High School. Mrs. Bridgforth and Mr. Via await the Biology Pro¬ gram on E.T.V. Mr. Way land Jones, former history teacher of C. H. S., left the faculty to be¬ come the first supervisor of education for Nottoway County. Since the high school enrollment reached an all-time peak, Mrs. Elizabeth Wilson used her entire time for guidance services. An opaque projector, donated by the class of 1963, vitalized instruction in the English Department. Educational television has become an integral part of the Crewe High School cur¬ riculum. In October, the entire school building was equipped with facilities to receive and transform the UTV to regular FTV sets in time for the Goldwater-Johnson campaign procedures. In retrospect, 1964-65 completed a year of academic progress and achievement. The hours of homework, the college boards, the hectic pace are beginning to fade through a veil of sentiment. 5

New School Activities This record of the activities of the stu¬ dent body of Crewe High School for the school year 1964-65 is portrayed through the re¬ flections of one of its graduates. Added to the regular academic courses was a third year of both Latin and French. For seniors who had not taken agriculture and mechanics, general mechanics was of¬ fered by the Agriculture Department. For the first time, eighth graders took class¬ room instruction in Drivers ' Education. One of the most important innovations in the school curriculum was the addition of our former community band, along with its director, Mrs. Dorothy Roberts. Another highlight of the year was the organization of a girls ' drill team by the girls ' physical education teacher, Miss Katie Presnell. Newcomers to the high school faculty were Mrs. Gloria Smith, English; Mrs. Wanda Padgett, history and geography; Miss Katie Presnell, girls ' physical education; and Mrs. Helen Wilson, librarian. The Crewe High band is assembled to furnish music at a football game. 4 French III students Virginia Pflegar, Julia Brown, Ann Taylor, and Cliff Olson look on as Linda Bradshaw uses the dual recorder.
