OUR ROSENNIAL FOR OUR FRIEND lt is not primarily as an administrator that we students will remember Mr. Craw but as a friendly person who was never too busy to stop and chat. When we think of him we always remember his smile and cheery hello and realize how remarkable it was that he could have known so many NHS students. Despite his many responsibilities, he could always find time to demonstrate his favorite recipe to a cooking class or to ioin in any classroom activity. The friendly atmosphere he created will long be remembered in NHS. Therefore the 1954 Rosennial staff wishes to dedicate this Rosennial to Mr. Craw, a wise administrator and a good friend. lfiglilecri New Castle citizens and all students were stunned on Decem- ber 18, when they learned of the sudden death of Superintendent Joe R. Craw. Mr. Craw, who came to New Castle from Hagers- town as principal in 1942, be- came superintendent in 1945. He held both A.B. and M.A. degrees from Butler University. His work as a school admin- istrator was recognized all over Indiana and New Castle schools became known for their progres- siveness. Realizing the inade- quacies of the present school buildings, Mr. Craw worked dili- gently to foster the building pro- gram. Wilbur Wright and Sunny- side were built during his admin- istration, another grade school and administration building, and two grade additions will be built this summer, and he was hard at work on plans for a new high school at the time of his death.
