Profile
::::::::::::: ::: : ============================================ ,::::
Everette G. Crawford
By Sheri Benson
Everette G. Crawford hasn't al-
ways lived in Summers County. Born
in Monroe County, in the town of
Ballard, he enjoyed fishing and
hunting and horseback riding. Be-
fore growing from boyhood, against
his displeasure, he moved to town.
There he lived with his parents,
Willie Norah Crawford and George
R.C. Crawford and his younger
brother, Francis. They are all gone,
now, and he alone reminisces times
past. Included is his closest friend
and school buddy, Theodore Bailey,
visited by memory.
Everette attended Hinton Ele-
mentary and then Lincoln High
School as a child. WV State College
readied him for his future. That
future became ruling as principal at
Lincoln High, sitting in =the room',
the one with three front windows
observing all goings on. He loved his
job, loved the students. =I've been
proud of so many of them, time and
...
again, going out and doing well m
the world. he said.
=I've always had an interest in
athletics -- football, basketball; I
played college football at WV State
College."
His deceased wife, Naomi (Dan-
dridgo) Crawford was a teacher at
the school where he worked. =She
came in from Parkersburg," he said.
=i miss her." They raised two boys,
Theodore and Everette, now living
in Washington along with two grand-
children.
=I've seen economic conditions
change a lot in Hinton, he said. =I'd
like to see more work and more col-
ored teachers in the schools."
Everette G. Crawford is a mem-
ber of the Retired Teacher's Associa-
tion. He's declinedmembership into
other organizations because =I'm not
caring for such things much."
During conversations, his soft
brown eyes and kind face reflect his
full attention on what's being said.
Pausing, he will carefully consider
his words before speaking. From his
front porch chair, he daily lives, fo-
cusing his attention on the school
directly across the street. Gazing
easily into the past, he glimpses
students long since gone entering
and leaving the large double doors of
Lincoln High. The school bell rings.
Vibrant young girls and boys laugh,
chatter and suddenly hush to a
teacher's reminding voice. The prin-
cipal, Everette G. Crawford still
misses nothing, sees all.
Only the walk to work has ceased,
for him.

Host Families Sought For
Student Exchange Program
James Ward of Hinton, Local
Coordinator for the Academic Year
in America high school exchange
program, is presently interviewing
families in this part of W.Va. to host
a foreign exchange student. The cross
cultural learning program places
teenagers from Europe, Asia and
Latin America with American fami-
lies for a mester or school year.
W.Va. has been host to dozens of
foreign students this year. =Spring
time is the most exciting time of the
program year for these students,"
says Ward. "They love the prom,
yearbooks and class rings." Customs
like these, which are part of any'
American teenager's experience, are
new and different for teens from
abroad.
The program also gives American
thmilies the chance to learn about a.
foreign culture. Exchange students
bring their holiday customs, their
native language, and the special
dishes of their homelands into their
American homes. =It's like a trip
abroad without ever leaving home,"
notes Ward. =These interesting
young ambassadors soon win the
hearts of their hosts. They arrive as
strangers and become 'sons' and
'daughters' in their American fami-
lies.
Next year's participants, chosen
from hundreds of applicants, will
arrive in W.Va. in Aug. They all
speak English, are covered by full
medical insurance, and have their
own spending money. Host families
receive a travel scholarship, worth
up to $800 off the cost of an AIFS
study/travel abroad program.
Families interested in choosing a
boy or girl to host for the 91/92 school
year should contact Ward at 304-
466-0936 to set up an interview, or
call regional director Tracey Sonn at
(800_ 322-4678.
