Dispatcher and Railroader staffs The school newspaper, the Dispatcher, presents a weekly report of activities that happen in and around school. As a member of the Southern Interscholastic Press Association, the Dispatcher meets all the require- ments and standards set for high school publications. The Dispatcher was greatly aided this year by the newly formed journalism class, whose members wrote articles and editorials each week. The Dispatcher Staff had its first magazine cam- paign this year. The members sold subscriptions to raise money for entertainment. In December Mrs. Trice, one of the sponsors of the Dispatcher, gave a spa ghetti supper at her home for the staff. The publishing of the Dispatcher involves a great deal of hard work, but the staff is rewarded with the eagerness with which the student body receives the paper each week.

in spirit and strength The SCA sponsored bus carries students to a basketball game in Buckingham. The Student Co-operative Association is the largest and most important club in Crewe High School. Its goals are to stimulate character growth and to encour- age students to work on projects which will be benefi- cial to the student body, school, and community. Working as a larger body than ever before, the SCA started the year enthusiastically. On the first day of school, members put up welcome posters, printed and distributed name tags to the eighth graders, and served as student guides. Their first big project was the publi- cation of a CHS handbook which included informa- tion about all the clu bs in school and a schedule of club meetings and assembly programs to be held dur- ing the year. The student council ordered pins for the first time. The new pins, silver with a letter “C”’ in the middle, were worn on days that the council met. The SCA sponsored four Southeastern assembly programs as a means of raising money for the organi- zation. In October SCA members planned all the activities 17 SCA Officers are Betsy Clay, President; Steve Ingram, Vice- President; Louise Eubank, Secretary; C. T. Hill, Treasurer; and Jeannie Martin, Pianist. for half-time at the Homecoming football game. Later, the council furnished and decorated a float for the Homecoming Court to ride on in Christmas parades. One of the main objectives this year was to increase school spirit and good sportsmanship. Members made posters carrying out these themes for the school and football games. The SCA sponsored a bus to carry stu- dents to basketball games which were played away from Crewe. The student bus was new this year and proved very successful inincreasing, spirit at the games. Campaign week was the last week in February. Nominees for next year’s offices vigorously competed and presented their speeches in a special assembly. Elections were held the following day and the new officers were installed later in the spring. During the year, representatives were sent to the Youth Forum, District Meeting, and State Conference. The council also chose a delegate to represent CHS at the Summer Workshop in August. By attending these meetings, students learned more about SCA and ways to improve our local club. NERS ee
