Varsity Club stirs interest in athletics The Varsity Club began its sixth year at Crewe High School under the sponsorship of Coach R.J. Golubic. To obtain membership in the club, a boy has to be a varsity athlete who has won his letter in one of the four sports now at Crewe High which are football, basketball, baseball, and track. The main objectives of the Varsity Club are to stimulate interest and participation in, athletics, to promote good sportsmanship, and to maintain a high respect for the varsity letter. Shortly after the football season every year, the Varsit y Club presents a “Rinky-Dink” award to some non-letterman of the football team who has con- tributed the most enthusiasm and hard work for the good of the team. This award is decided upon solely by the members of the club, who overwhelmingly elected Bruce Covington to receive it. As in previous years, the Varsity Club printed and sold programs at all home games. The club also printed football schedules and placed them in various places of business throughout the community.

Cheerleaders arouse enthusiasm Head Cheerleaders are Betsy Clay and in students Elaine Boisseau. The vivacious cheerleaders of CHS sparked school spirit all during the year. They practiced hard throughout the summer and planned many things to increase school spirit for the football season. Money raising projects were held in order to buy new blue and white shakers. The girls got together on Thursday nights before football games to make posters and banners which were hung in the school halls. They held pep rallies almost every Friday before football games. To increase student participation, cheers were typed up and given to stu- dents as they came to pep rallies. On Tuesday night before Homecoming, the cheerleaders gave a big poster party and invited all the students at CHS. Before the game, they had a special pep rally in which they were dressed up as coaches and football players.

Ace of Clubs sponsors bonfire for Homecoming New Ace members wear old clothes to school as part of their initiation The Ace of Clubs, the oldest service club in CHS, raised money for the athletic fund by operating the concession stand during baseball season. New members were chosen in the fall from the sophomore, junior, and senior classes. They were Linda Bowlin, Nancy Cook, Mary Bowman, Mary Ann Thompson, Diane Greene, Phyllis Currin, Cindy Hampton, Betty Vaught, and Barbara Jennings. These girls were initiated at the annual Ace Tea held at the home of Miss Johanna Olsen. Ace members wore their club colors, green and white, every Thursday. Members were required to wear the emblem or pin on the first and third Thursday of each month. The Ace members also gathered boxes for the Homecoming bon fire which they sponsored along with the parade and pep rally.
