Andrew Lewis High School began as a dream in the minds of many Salem citizens several years before the school actually opened in 1934. Forty- three years have passed since Lewis first opened its doors, and the time has come for the dream of Lewis to draw to a close while the dream of the new Salem High School materializes.

Lewis has seen many changes occur in the U.S., the world, and in itself during its 43 year history. The school has watched our country grow under the leadership of Roosevelt, Truman, Eisenhower, Kennedy, Johnson, Nixon, and Ford, and has seen its alumni and students fight in three major wars. While America had its high and low points, Lewis maintained the spirit and ideals upon which it was founded.

The students of Andrew Lewis have changed with the times. In the beginning scholars were seen walking the halls in bobby-socks, saddle oxfords, straight skirts, straight legged pants, crew-cuts, and bobbed hair; today scholars are clad in blue jeans, wallabies, wedges, and skirts, with blown-dry ultra-clean hair.

Curriculum has been, and always will be, in the process of changing. Each year there were a few new approaches to old courses. Some old courses were dropped and a few new courses were added. Lewis was the first school in the county to adopt a modular curriculum and was able to adjust to the new system amid a turmoil of doubts and opposition.

Reflections Of Andrew Lewis

ALMA MATER

0 Andrew Lewis, school adored Our Alma Mater dear,

Fond memories of thee we’ll hold Our hearts and minds to cheer.

We’ll evermore thy name adore And honors to thee bring And now thy sons and daughters true Loud praises to thee sing.

Salem Bom

I’m Salem born and Salem bred, And when I die I’ll be Salem dead! So rah rah for Salem Salem;

Rah rah for Salem Salem;

Rah rah for Salem; rah, rah, rah!

The Blue and White will reign tonight;

We’ll win this game tonight or die! So rah rah for Salem Salem;

Rah rah for Salem Salem;

Rah rah for Salem; rah, rah, rah!

The building of Andrew Lewis has remained basically the same familiar structure since its completion, but there have been a few changes made thru the years. An addition of a new gym in 1960 gave the school much needed space for athletic activities. Classrooms have changed from large rooms, to small I. A. rooms, back to large rooms again, and a few have been combined to form lecture rooms. The front hall of the second floor has been converted to an addition of the library, and the arcade has become known as the “smoking block” rather than merely the walkway between the industrial arts classes and the main building. Although the friendly old structure at 616 College Avenue will house a Jr. High School, the building will be a reminder for many years to come of the great high school student bodies that occupied its halls.

The Fulfillment Of A Long

10

Cherished Dream

The first Andrew Lewis yearbook in 1935 spoke of Lewis as “the fulfillment of the long-cherished dream of principals, teachers, students, and patrons of Salem.” The last Pioneer marks the end of the living dream, but the heritage of the “Pride of Salem,” the “Wolverines,” and the “Big Blue Machine” will live on forever.

It is fitting that the last book be dedicated to the past and present administrations, faculty members, and to the students of Andrew Lewis who have composed the foundation of the school’s proud heritage and who will insure its immortality. The alumni and present student body of Andrew Lewis have truly fulfilled the wish of the first graduating class of this school that “future students of Andrew Lewis High (would) revere it as (they did).”

ACTIVITIES

It Rained On Our Parade

The rain on the Homecoming parade wilted the napkin-clad floats and caused the football game to be postponed until Saturday afternoon, but did not dampen the spirits of the student body. Each class spent the week preceding homecoming building floats and making hall decorations for the Spirit Week contest. The float competition was not judged because the parade was cut short. First place in the hall decoration competition went to the seniors while the juniors and sophomores claimed second and third places respectively. The Latin club won first place in the club category.

Although the time of the game was changed, a large crowd came to watch Lewis defeat Lord Botetourt 21-20.

Welcome

Relief

Andrew Lewis students spent their weekends in many varied ways. Spirited sports fans attended Friday night football and basketball games.

Quite often Lewis students could be found at concerts, movies, or hanging out at McDonald’s. One of the favorite activities was catching up on lost sleep. But however the weekend was spent, it was enjoyed by all as a welcome relief from the monotony of the school day.

Use It Or A buse It

At the beginning of the school year, students found small blocks of gain time on their new schedules. Unoccupied students were seen walking around outside on school grounds during the warmer months, but in the winter they had to find places inside the building to spend their free time. The cafeteria was the most popular spot, though a number of people preferred to stand around the smoking block. Industrious pupils

were found using their extra time studying and reading in the library. Some people spent many hours in the various department offices. Yearbook staffers considered themselves privileged to be able to use the yearbook office.

Although the amount of gain time has decreased each year, it will be greatly missed in the traditional schedule of the new Salem High School.

For Students A nd For Staff

STUDY: The application of the mind to acquisition of knowledge; HALL: a large room. Put the two together, and one has a large room used for the acquisition of knowledge to the mind, or in other words, those all too familiar words study hall.

Staff and students both had mutual feelings about study halls. Study halls were enforced in order to encourage students to study and to keep up their grades. Those students fortunate enough to make all A’s and B’s on their report cards were dismissed from their study halls as long as their grades remained good; those who didn’t do as well remained in study hall with hopes of doing better the next nine weeks. No matter what feelings certain students and staff members had about them, study halls were to be a necessary part of life at Andrew Lewis.

Open Your Eyes

To A New Surprise

A variety of entertainment was offered to the student body through the enrichment program. The entertainment consisted of such things as dramas, singing, musical instrument playing, films, the mock election, and the book fair. Since the program offered a good variety of entertainment, many students actually looked forward to attending the three mod class which only met once a cycle. The enrichment program succeeded in “enriching” the students during the year, thanks to Mrs. Carolyn Newell.

Mardi Gras Comes To Lewis

The last year for Andrew Lewis was an active year for the French club. The plans for the year began with a bike ride which was rained out, but rescheduled and held in the spring. Many other activities were held, including a lunch at Le Gourmet and a Christmas party where some of the hardier members braved the sub¬ freezing temperatures to go carolling in French. On March 1st a Mardi Gras party was held to celebrate the French holiday of “Fat Tuesday.”

The Spanish Club had a year filled with varied activities. Their year began with a lunch at the Fiesta Cantina. December brought a Christmas party with Spanish Christmas carols and a pinata filled with delicious sweets. Further activities included a field trip to see the world champion Flamenco dancers and one afternoon session brought the creation of Ojos de Dios (God’s Eyes). To culminate the year of exciting activities the club held a taco party with the Glenvar Spanish Club.

Many school and community projects were sponsored by the Key Club. The boys raffled off a clock radio in the fall to raise funds for the Homecoming dance and, in December answered kids’ letters to Santa Claus. In March the Lewis Key club met with the Glenvar Key Club and the Kiwanis for a joint meeting and traveled to Virginia Beach for a convention in April.

Varied Projects Keep Keyettes Occupied

Autumn Celebration, a festival for children, was the first Keyette project of the year and the Lewis Keyettes held the relay races. A Thanksgiving basket and a Senior Citizen party were the girl’s holiday projects. The week of the Lewis-Glenvar football game, the Keyettes sold links for a spirit chain, but also met with the Glenvar Keyettes for a dinner at another time.

Several other Keyette projects were the selling of Send-a- mouse to college buttons for the American Cancer Society, a clothing drive, a coffee for the Ki-Wives, an Easter egg hunt for Tap kids, and a Spring banquet.

Roanoke County Educational Center is a two year vocational high school dedicated to the training, both vocationally and academically, of a unique group of students to enter the world of work. Students from every high school in the county attend

RCEC.

Education at RCEC is more than just a word it’s a way of life. Each of the thirteen vocations have their own different definitions, but the definitions all have the same meaning learning and loving every minute of it. Students from Andrew Lewis who attend RCEC display on these pages some of the opportunities which they have discovered at RCEC.

1. Vocational training in electronics includes television repair. 2. Nancy Frank, Commercial Arts student, shows her skill with a 35mm camera. 3 and 4. VICA week provided activities for everyone. Students especially enjoyed the “Car Bash.” 5. Carpentry students are able to work both in the shop and outdoors. 6. RCEC offers many different academic classes as well as vocational classes.

Vocational training at RCEC offers a choice of thirteen vocations and related academic areas. Students have the opportunity to participate in home school activities as well as clubs at RCEC. Two vocationally related clubs are Vocational Industrial Clubs of America and for business students, Future Business Leaders of America. Students may also elect to participate in Senior and Junior Board as well as the RCEC annual staff. Graduates of Roanoke County Educational Center enter the world of work prepared not only with the skills necessary to their vocation, but also with a sense of pride and a respect of their job and fellow workers.

An Honorable Ending

The Sodalitas Latina filled their last year with many honors. Mrs. Aldridge was awarded an Ovatio which is usually awarded only to college Latin professors and Miss Hall was given a scholarship to study in Rome for six weeks during the summer. The Lewis club was also honored at a state level because the sponsors, Mrs. Aldridge and Miss Hall, served as state co-chairmen and both the VJCL President, Hunter McCorkle, and the VJCL Vice- President, Tom Dunbar, were from Lewis. Lewis also ran Debbie Tilley for VJCL secretary and came home from the December VJCL convention with three awards; Paula Willis’ 1st in show and 1st in art, and Steve Craighead’s 3rd in Mythology.

Other activities included monthly meetings, a fall Picnic, a Mythological initiation for Latin I members, Christmas carolling with Glenvar at McVitty House, a Roman marriage, a meeting with area Latin clubs for a “Day in Old Rome” at the Salem Civic Center, and a Roman banquet with a slave sale.

Fourteen representatives of the Lewis DECA club entered regional competition against 40 other state schools at E.C. Glass high school. Molly Womack placed first in Apparel and Accessories, Cindy Woody captured first in Sales Demonstration, and Deanna Guidus placed third in Public Speaking. Although only three Lewis representatives actually won awards and only two went to state

competition all of the contestants felt they were winners because of the experience they gained.

The officers of the club were: President Linda Hager, Vice- President Cindy Davis, Secretary Susan Smith, Treasurer Molly Womack, and Reporter-Historian Ricky Harris. Mr. Oberlin and Miss Dunn served as club sponsors.

Social

A wareness

The members of the F.B.L.A. did much more than merely concentrate on business affairs. Their activities included fund raisers, community projects, and social gatherings. Fund raising projects consisted of selling football programs, candy, and oil lamps. A Thanksgiving basket for the poor, a Christmas party for “Tap,” and participation in the March of Dimes drive were F.B.L.A.’s contribution to the community. A social activity of great importance was a joint dinner sponsored by the Lewis F.B.L.A. and the Glenvar F.B.L.A. The Lewis chapter’s other social gatherings were attending a regional meeting at Tech, a Christmas dinner, a coke party, and a coffee for the Lewis faculty.

The students involved with Community Service Corps found there were many projects for them to participate in. Many of the members chose to tutor children in grades two through six, while other Corps members chose to participate in project PATH, Promise of Acceptance Trust and Hope, and become big brothers or sisters to lonely children.

At Christmas, CSC members collected gifts and dressed up as Santa Clauses and elves to deliver presents to needy families.

From Wolverines To Spartans

Although the last S.C.A. of Andrew Lewis did not have a future as Wolverines, they had to plan for the future as Spartans. Their transition oriented activities included holding the balloting at Lewis for Salem High colors and mascot, sponsoring a joint dance with Glenvar and making

recommendations with the Glenvar S.C.A. for the new school. Other highlights of the year were the selling of Andrew Lewis pennants, the student-faculty basketball game, and a sweetheart dance which was unfortunately cancelled because of the fuel shortage.

The Fellowship of Christian Athletes is a club composed of athletes from different high schools of the area.

The Lewis chapter, headed by Mr.

Ray Moore, sold programs at football games, had a car smash, handled the concession stands at the basketball games, and sponsored the Monterey Golf Classic. The club met with the Glenvar FCA and went carolling in the Glenvar area. The FCA also participated in community projects. They gave a Thanksgiving basket to a needy family and also visited people at McVitty House. All of the local chapters met monthly for a breakfast downtown at the S. and W. Cafeteria. The members of the club were enriched by their fellowship with the other members.

Last But Not Least

The last year of the Andrew Lewis Beta Club was filled with many activities. In an effort to aid in the transition to the new Salem High School, the Lewis Beta club met with the Glenvar National Honor Society for a potluck dinner in the fall. In December, the Beta clubbers held a tea for the teachers. Their spring activities included attending the state Beta club convention in Richmond, holding a recognition service for the sophomores who had been recognized.

All of club’s activities were made possible with the help) of the sponsor, Mrs. Carolyn Newell.

Make The Last The Best

Make the last the best was the slogan for the staff of the ’77 Pioneer. Each member of the staff did his par.t to insure the quality of the book. The staffers spent many hours during yearbook class, after school, and on Saturdays working towards the ever- impending deadlines. Pages were finally approved by editor, Hunter McCorkle, and sponsor, Miss Diane Brandon, and all of the deadlines were met.

Although yearbook involved much work, the staffers also had a good time at parties and picnics outside of school and relaxing on their gain time in the yearbook office. The experiences enjoyed with other staffers and the feeling of accomplishment made yearbook a worthwhile project for all the people involved.

E’marie Smith, from Port Elizabeth, South Africa, became Lewis’ last AFS exchange student. She originally came to Roanoke to live with Brian and Leslie Young, but she switched families to live with the Young’s next door neighbor, Ruth

Deck.

One could see Elmarie was very sweet and willing to share her background with anyone. She was active in the Chorale and spoke at many community functions about her life and home in South Africa. Being involved with the fine arts, namely ballet and voice, she rarely had much free time. Whenever a speaker was needed Elmarie was chosen, from the enrichment program to a Girl Scout

troop.

Thanks to Elmarie, our last year at Andrew Lewis was not devoid of culture or a friendly, new smile. They really did save the best for last.

umm

I think that whenever I’ll think back to my year in Lewis, I will remember my very first day in school. What an experience! I felt strange in my summer dress and sandals, and then I still had to walk on the righthand side of the halls. After I managed to walk on the right side, I struggled with my locker. I could not open my locker for nothing in the world.

School in America is very different to South Africa, and modular scheduling was a totally new experience to me. I really like Lewis, and it feels to me as if I had always been here. I have never before received so much help and kindness from anybody as I received from the Lewis people.

I would also like to thank the Senior class for my wonderful Christmas gift. I appreciated it so much.

My year at Andrew Lewis is something that I will never forget and I hope that someday I will have the opportunity to return to Salem for a visit!

As the last AFS student of Andrew Lewis I would like to wish you all the best for the future and remind you to take the best out of each day.

Love,

Elmarie

A Hectic Transition

The transition to the new Salem High School affected the library just as it did all the other departments at Lewis. Librarians were always seen in the midst of ordering forms with looks of dismay on their faces. Out of a total of 20,000 books, about 17,000 were prepared for moving and about 8,000 audio-visual items were packed.

A very successful book fair was held from November 8 until November 15. Students were allowed to shop during their gain time or during Enrichment, and the fair was open to the public one evening during the week. The book fair provided a good opportunity to get ahead with one’s Christmas shopping.

The library sponsored a three week unit on library research skills for the freshmen, and a unit on college library research skills for senior English students was offered. Both programs proved to be very beneficial for the students involved. All of the services which the library provided were appreciated by the faculty and students of Lewis.

The Sights And Sounds

of a. v ;

Many of the teachers at Lewis would have been lost without the aid of the Audio Visual club members. The member’s tasks varied from simply delivering audio visual equipment to setting the equipment up and making sure everything was running smoothly. They worked with film projectors, tape recorders, slide viewers, overheads and other pieces of audio visual equipment that were needed. Everyone in the club was trained to know how to run each piece of equipment and also how to do minor repairs.

The A.V. club also held a number of social activities during the year including a Christmas party and a spring cookout and picnic.

The Great Invitation

While other students slept, the members of the chorale were busy rehearsing their Christmas and Spring music. Eight o’clock a.m. rehearsals became an accepted part of their daily schedule soon after Halloween.

Early in October, the National Music Teachers Conference sent an invitation to the Lewis Chorale requesting the group’s performance at their regional convention in Atlanta, Ga. The invitation was the highest honor that can be bestowed

on a musical group.

Basically, the chorale was a success because it was made up of highly talented students, but another major reason for the success was the strong bonds of friendship within the group. Members spent a large portion of their gain time in the choir room practicing, consoling each other on bad days, or just “shooting the bull with Uncle Bill.”

A dded Precision

A new approach to entertainment was added to the Lewis band for its final year. Waving flags and twirling rifles were part of the drill team routine and were enjoyed by everyone. Much effort was required on the part of the girls to enable them to carry out the precision maneuvers which added so much to the show, but hard work and precision has always been a mark of Mr. Dennis Reaser’s band. Under the qualified direction of Mr. Reaser and Drum Major Brian Young, the band completed another fine season. Before marching season, the band attended their annual camp and returned with a few sore muscles and with all the knowledge needed to carry them through the year. In late September, the band attended the festival at Chilhowie and traveled to Bristol for more competition in early October.

In each case “The Pride of Salem” received a #1 rating. A tent sale was the big fund-raising project for the year, and band members pitched in with the Band Boosters club to make the project a big success. When marching was over, the band marched off the field and began preparations for their last opus.

Varsity Cheers To Victory

The Varsity cheerleaders started the year off with a bang! They attended the D.C.A. cheerleading camp at Roanoke College from July 12 and to July 16. They won several first place ribbons in the different areas of cheering.

Between cheering for the football team, the cross-country team and the girls’ basketball team, they honored the football team by giving pre-game parties, a bonfire, a breakfast, and decorating their lockers and the halls. However, the varsity squad could not have accomplished these things without the assistance of the JV cheerleaders, who filled in when the Varsity could not.

The cheering picked up again when the wrestling and basketball seasons arrived with their packed schedules. Soon after those seasons, the spring sports began which included baseball, golf, track, and tennis. Even though these sports are played by seasons, the cheerleaders worked and planned throughout the year.

Unsung J V’s Unify

Unity for the J.V. cheerleaders was the most needed element to make the squad better. Before the school year began, they practiced regularly to achieve the unity they needed.

Because there was no JV football team, the disheartened squad cheered for freshmen football and girls’ basketball. The J V squad finally had a team to cheer for by themselves the JV basketball team. Gymnastic meets and preliminary wrestling matches were also attended by the JV’s.

Most of the JV cheerleaders’ work wTent unnoticed such as a breakfast for the cross-country team, giving the freshmen football and girls’ basketball teams each a party, decorating many of the Varsity football player’s lockers, and backing up, as well as, cheering for the Varsity cheerleaders.

Snowball

Spirit

The activities of the Pep Club started slowly, but soon the members found they had plenty to keep them busy. Their spirit resembled a snowball because it increased as the year continued. With a large membership they accomplished spirit-oriented projects. They put up posters, presented a cake to Mr. Stevens, nominated King and Prince for the homecoming, and supported the cheerleaders at many games and sporting events.

During the year, they did extra¬ special projects for some of the teams. For example, they treated the girl’s basketball team to a dinner at the Pizza Hut. Simple, but meaningful, their projects like posters for the gymnastics and girl’s track teams, cheering loudly at Pep assemblies, and attending sports’ events boosted spirit.

Huff ’n Puff

The long awaited football game between the senior girls and junior girls was finally played on Sunday, November 20. The day started bright and sunny but slowly turned grey and cold; however, when spirits are high, weather makes no difference. Throughout the game the juniors had a clear advantage because the seniors had had trouble forming a team and were only able to practice a few times. At the end of the game the juniors had gained a victory of 12-0 against the seniors. There were a lot of bruised bodies after'the final quarter, but the last powderpuff football game of Lewis would always be remembered as one of the best.

The Last Chance

The students of Andrew Lewis took advantage of the many varied courses of the English department for the last time. Because the new Salem High School would be operated on a traditional schedule, many electives would necessarily be eliminated from the curriculum. The English department would no longer be able to offer courses such as Honors English for seniors, Multi- Media, Grammar, Creative Writing, and Advanced Composition. The students of Andrew Lewis considered themselves most fortunate to have had the opportunity to participate in such a diversified curriculum.

1. Miss Harris confers with a student about her English theme. 2. The Great Gatsby inspires a heated comment by Tim Beckner in English class. 3. Using the Reader’s Guide to Periodical Literature is one of the skills which Lori Jefferson learns in the library. 4.Mrs. Brenda Turner takes a few minutes out from her reading class to smile at the photographer.

K^reuiive living

Life outside of high school will not seem totally new to pupils who have taken home economics courses. Students in second and third year sewing classes made clothes for other people and earned money for themselves. In addition to making money, they applied Indian prints to solid colored fabrics and made pillows shaped like animals.

The co-ed class, Family Living, taught participants how to find jobs, to purchase and decorate homes or apartments, to buy cars, and even to plan weddings. While Family Living briefly studied interior design, the interior decorating class studied the art of home decorating in depth.

Cooking and Cake Decorating classes allowed students to create items that looked good and were pleasing to the taste.

1. Gary Smith tries to think of an inexpensive, yet creative way to decorate an apartment. 2. Yes, decorating a cake really can be fun! 3. Sewing sometimes takes much concentration when doing detail work. 4. Melody Williams mixes the icing before beginning to decorate her cake. 5.

Math Courses Require

Computer Aids

With not too many students making extensive use of the Math Department’s fine computer, Mr. Basham finally decided it was time to force some students to use the machine. This unhappy fate fell upon the Math Analysis students when they were given a test composed of problems which required the use of the computer. Each student spent two or three hours learning how to operate the machine and finally took the test with a minimum amount of

anxiety.

Many juniors and seniors in Advanced Algebra and Trigonometry spent late nights solving difficult equations for slope, equations with two variables, and confusing ratios of cosines and sines. Even though the problems were difficult, everyone appeared to have survived.

A new addition to the Math Department’s course listing was Math for Daily Living, taught by Mr. Browder and Mrs. Hough. In this course, students of all grade levels reviewed basic math skills and learned how to file Income Tax returns, buy insurance, and handle consumer problems.

Each math teacher felt that the year was a success and that the students were well-prepared to face their many and varied futures.

1. Working a word problem on the board, Mr. Tate lectures to a ninth grade math class. 2. Putting homework problems on the blackboard is an easy way to involve students in a math class. 3. The problem is not what the computer can do, but rather what one needs to tell the computer. 4. Those algebra and trig tests always require a great deal of concentration, and one experiences a great sense of relief when the test is completed.

Language Merger

Lewis’ foreign language students had parties in the various language classes.

One would see taco parties with extra-hot sauce for daredevils in Spanish I A’s, cheese and eclair sampling in French I A’s, or Virgil and Caesar festivities in Latin IA’s. The parties always enlightened student’s views on a foreign language because of the different customs followed.

During Easter vacation, Miss Hall, Miss Brandon, and Miss Kinsey, each took groups of students to tour Italy, France, and Spain respectively. These trips were planned early and proved to he very pleasurable.

The Lewis’ foreign language department met with the Glenvar foreign language department to discuss and plan Salem High’s foreign language curriculum. Included courses are: basic courses in French, Latin, German, and Spanish, with additional mini-courses in vocabulary and culture. The new school’s foreign language department will offer a broader study of the languages.

Getting Down To Business

Whose business is it? Anyone who took a business course found the answer to this question. At any given time during the school day, students could be seen busily striking at keys on typewriters. As usual, typing was the most popular business course offered. Other courses included shorthand and office practice. Keypunch was not offered due to a lack of teachers. During the school day, other students worked in part- time jobs in secretarial areas both in public offices and our own Administration office.

1. During their gain time students are found catching up on extra work. 2. Typing students practice carefully and try to adhere to the rules posted on the bulletin board. 3. Casey Ramos quickly finishes a sentence. 4. Engrossed in their work, typing students are unaware of the

D.E. Does It Right!

Distributive Education I students concentrated on learning marketing procedures of various types of businesses, and received backgrounds in self-analysis and personal income. Students of D.E. II and III were given the opportunity to enter into a world of new experiences by working outside of school. They received one credit for their class work and one credit for working on the job.

The jobs for D.E. students were arranged through a cooperative working program between the school and distributive businesses of the community. Through this program students were placed in retail, wholesale, and service businesses in areas of the Roanoke Valley ranging from Tanglewood Mall and West Salem Square to downtown Roanoke.

1. Susan Smith gives out information over the phone. 2. Wesley Garst sorts articles in the men’s department at Heironimous.

Blue, Green, And White OR Maroon And Silver??

Many different courses were offered by the art department such as Introduction to Art, Beginning and Advanced Painting, Commercial Art I, and Design. Students could be seen throughout the year drawing the halls of Andrew Lewis in order to learn the rules of perspective. Other art students could be seen rubbing various textures around the school with paper and crayons in order to create rubbing designs.

The art department helped to prepare for the change to the new Salem High School by making posters displaying the six choices of colors for the new school. The students of Andrew Lewis, Glenvar, and Hidden Valley referred to the posters when voting on the colors. Three choices were eliminated in two preliminary rounds of voting, and maroon and silver were chosen in the final round as the colors of the new school.

The Sound Of Music

1. All eyes are on Mr. Snyder as the Chorale performs in Enrichment for the students. 2. Working hard, the stage band creates music for a school program. 3. Playing the clarinet takes much concentration for Mary Azar. 4. Beth Crotts and Kim Corvin warm up before band class.

As students walked through the double doors south of room 104, they were not only faced with music coming from the band and choir rooms, but also with such sights as girls twirling rifles and flags as they practiced for the band’s new half¬ time program. Totally new to the music department was the addition of a military style marching show.

The Chorale welcomed the addition of Elmarie Smith, our foreign exchange student, which brought their membership to 51, an all-time high. Girls’ and Mixed choirs worked hard to present their two annual concerts while the Madrigal Singers labored to perfect their technique of a cappella singing. The ten students enrolled in music theory and the six in Music Appreciation studied music on an advanced level.

The Survey Of Science

As one would walk up to the third floor, one could hear that old familiar phrase, “What is that smell?” Most people knew that the smell was coming from the science rooms.

Anatomy students found themselves squeamish as they dissected cats and other animals. Rain and sunshine became important to the Creative Horticulture students who labored in the courtyard. Other students were to be found in Electric Circuits class and Biology performing experiments. Fewer catastrophes occurred as students became more knowledgeable about science.

1. Miss O’Dell points out the interesting parts of the dogfish to Chip Hitt and Lynn Garst. 2.

Mock Election Ofl977

The Social Studies department offered a wide variety of classes, ranging from required courses such as American History to elective courses such as Minority Groups. Three courses were dropped from the curriculum while a new government teacher, Mr. Bondurant, arrived on the Lewis scene.

A big success sponsored by the Social Studies department was the mock election held in Enrichment. Six senior classmen were chosen to represent the candidates for President and Vice-President of the U.S. The Enrichment program was enjoyed by everyone including the candidates. Presidential candidate Jimmy Carter won the election at Lewis by a narrow victory over President Gerald Ford.

A Varied Physical Education

Program . . .

has provided its students with a class designed to be both fun and educational.

Girls’ P.E. courses studied soccer, field hockey, fencing, modern dance, gymnastics, and basketball.

Cross country was the first activity of the Boys’ P.E. 10 classes, while boys in P.E. 9 started with soccer. Both courses touched on weight lifting, track, wrestling, and a variety of team sports.

Advanced P.E. classes began with a course on gun safety and a trip to the National Guard Armory for indoor target shooting. They ended the year with archery, bowling, swimming, and other interesting activities.

1. Field hockey is one of the games played by the girls’ gym classes. 2. Amy Greenisen really finds it hard to understand why any photographer would want a picture of someone dressed for field hockey. 3. Mr. Newton gives instructions to the pitcher as a student prepares to come up to bat. 4. David Light begins P.E. class with twelve laps around the school.

Administration Carries Through

To The End

The administration survived its last year despite constant difficulties. Mr. Garland Life, Mr. Lewis Campbell, and Mr. Robert Lipscomb ruled the school with an iron hand and an extreme sense of duty. Each man worked diligently throughout each day of the school year to guide students in the right direction usually to the cafeteria and to help them in any way possible.

Much aggravation was provided the administration during the year by students still roving the halls four minutes after the tone. These students were appropriately threatened with study halls and extra time after school. All in all, the school’s top men proved to be quite kind and cooperative throughout the year both to the students and to the

teachers.

In the end, the principals sighed with relief and wondered what next year would be like with Andrew Lewis becoming a junior high school.

The Ones Who Cared

The guidance counselors became known as the ones who cared because they were always ready to help a student in need. Confused freshmen were sent to the office daily at the beginning of the school year to seek answers to their questions about Lewis. Seniors rushed in throughout the year to ask about college boards and applications and to talk to college representatives. The counselors also handled schedule problems for students and took care of registration for next year.

Devoted

Helpers

Several para-professionals assisted teachers throughout the year. These women worked in the IMC, the audio¬ visual department, and various other departments throughout the school.

They were always eager to do odd jobs such as preparing materials for class, setting up labs, and assisting in Enrichment and study halls. Due to the devoted work of the para- professionals, teachers had more time to spend with their class preparations.

Running the guidance and the main offices was not an easy job. Janie Entsminger had the pleasure of listening to the constant complaints of students who wanted to go home claiming that they were sick while Shelby Lucas had the task of maintaining the permanent records in the guidance office. Mrs. Dillon in the main office answered questions about hundreds of items and tried to keep up with the whereabouts of the three principals, and Mrs. Walker had the difficult job of balancing the school’s accounts. These four women were always efficient in keeping everything under control. They seemed to always have a smile for everyone and were always willing to help.

1. Counting money in the guidance office was one of Shelby Lucas’ many duties. 2. Even though busy preparing the next day’s AL Gram, Mrs. Dillon has time to smile at a teacher’s comment. 3. Janie Entsminger laughs at one of the student’s excuses for leaving school. 4. Talking on the phone to Ewald-Clark, Mrs. Walker explains that no bill will be paid without a purchase order number.

The usual work day hours for the maintenance crew were from 5:00 A.M. until 2:30 P.M.; however, due to the unusuglly cold winter weather, the hours were from 2:30 A.M. until 3:00 P.M. and sometimes even later. Some of the staff even had to stay all night in order to keep the school heated for the next day. Due to the steady heat, the average temperature in the main office at night stayed around sixty degrees. Though Roanoke County closed schools for a few days due to lack of fuel, Lewis’ own supplies held out despite slow coal delivery.

Besides keeping the school warm, the custodians managed to keep the school spotless also. As soon as the school day was over, large scale sweeping took place in all of the halls. Rooms were dusted, windows cleaned, and desks emptied of waste paper. Students were greeted the next morning by cleanliness instead of the chaos of the day before.

Thanks to the custodians, Lewis maintained a clean, healthy atmosphere in which students could learn and grow.

1. Strolling through the smoking block, Mr. Gill pauses to glance at the photographer. 2.

Resting for a moment in Mr. Campbell’s office, Mr. Butler takes a moment out from a very long day. 3. The work day for many custodians begins at 3:00. 4. Sweeping the smoking block is one of the more unpleasant tasks for the maintenance crew.

Cafeteria Offers More Variety

The students were offered more variety in their food menus with a combo lunch offering hamburgers, milk shakes, and French fries. There was also a salad and soup plate for those in need of different cuisine. The regular plate lunches continued with a variety of vegetables, meats, and everything needed for a nourishing meal.

The snack bar continued to thrive with the help of soft drinks, ice cream, potato chips and certs. A long line was always expected on busy days.

A new walk-in refrigerator and freezer gratified and surprised the cafeteria staff. The staff, despite cold weather and snow which upset menus, continued to serve hot lunches faithfully to hungry students without complaining.

1. Planning the week’s menus is no easy task for Juanita Roop. 2. Caught in the act, Lucille Graybill continues preparations for lunches. 3. Madeline Anderson proudly displays her handiwork. 4. Anna Boggs slices the dessert for the day. 5. By finishing her job, Helen Oliver adds to the day’s lunch. 6. Laughter makes the day go faster for Ruth Kyle and Treva King.

First A ttempts

In the fall of 1973 the Class of ’77 entered Lewis as expectant freshmen. The class soon adjusted to high school life and took an active part in all of the Lewis activities.

Although the young ninth graders’ attempts at a homecoming float and hall decorations for spirit week were something less than great, the class members gained experience and made new friendships while participating in the work. Their first float entitled “Flush the Washed-Up Vikings” will always be remembered for its unique appearance.

A High School Symbol

The Class of ’77 entered their sophomore year with a sense of pride because they were no longer the youngest class at Lewis. Their long-awaited high school dreams were beginning to take shape as the sophomores eagerly ordered their class rings in the fall. The rings arrived in the spring and the sophomores were proud to receive their symbols of the Lewis heritage.

Because of a lack of judges the homecoming floats of 1974 were not judged, but the Class of ’77 felt that their float was the best.

The tenth graders took vocational tests in the fall which gave them an idea of which profession they were best suited for.

The Losing Battle

With the junior year of the Class of ’77 came the realization that theirs would certainly be the last class of Andrew Lewis. The student body and alumni of Andrew Lewis along with concerned Salem citizens fought a losing battle to preserve the proud Lewis

name for the new school.

Although the juniors fought with the other classes to preserve the Lewis tradition, homecoming competitions were as fierce as always. The Class of ’77 emerged with a victorious first place in the hall decoration competition with the theme “Oh Thank Heaven, Seventy-Seven,” and the junior float, “Lewis Tornadorize the

Colts,” finished a comfortable second.

The hard work and long hours spent on money-raising projects and construction for the prom proved to be worthwhile because “Knights In White Satin” was one of the best proms of Andrew

Lewis.

Juniors began seriously considering post graduation plans. For those members of the Class of ’77 who were interested in college, the PSAT tests had to be taken in the fall and the SAT tests in the spring. Their scores were sent to prospective colleges and included

in their school records.

They Saved The Best For Last

The last year of Andrew Lewis wras also the last year of high school for the Class of ’77. Proving that the last were the test, the seniors won first place in both the homecoming competitions with the float “Bury Botetourt” and the hall decoration theme “They Saved The Best For Last.”

The seniors were faced with many important decisions. The college- bound had more SAT tests and college applications while vocational and D.E. students searched for jobs.

Although their future plans were exciting, the members of the Class of ’77 were sad to see their high school years come to a close because with the end of their high school time came the end of a much-loved tradition and institution.

Being A Senior Meant . . .

A Sense of Pride in finally being the oldest class

Facing the Future with anticipation , dread , longing , reluctance, excitement, and fear

Memories of high school years

Working together as a class one last time

Not worrying about the Prom

Ordering graduation

announcements and caps and gowns

A feeling of accomplishment after finishing 12 years of school

Wondering what senior privileges were

Trying to understand MacBeth

Leaving homeroom early

Learning about the JJ. S. gov* rnment

Hamming it up for the senior talent show

But most of all, for the Andrew Lewis Class of '77, being a senior meant completing the history of a proud school.

The Last Shall Be First

The junior class members dedicated themselves to making the last Andrew Lewis homecoming the best. Abundant funds from earlier years were used to buy materials necessary for the event. Several ideas were considered for the float and a decision was reached through a vote in homeroom. “M*A*S*H Botetourt” was chosen as the theme of the float and work began quickly at the S hen tool Warehouse.

Even though the juniors received a disappointing second in the hall contest and were overlooked in the float competition, their spirit was of first place quality.

Juniors were required to take the standardized test, SRA, at the begi lining of the year. They hesitantly loaded the buses that would take them to the Civic Center. There they were told to use only Number Two pencils, not to open the test booklets, not to talk, to put down their pencils after time was called, and to work quietly and calmly. The juniors survived the SRA tests, but a few forlorn and tired faces could be seen. In addition to the required tests, the members of the junior class were given a choice of whether to take the PS AT tests or not. Many juniors showed up at 8:00 A.M. on a brisk Saturday morning to tackle the tests. Although the PSATs seemed extremely long and hard, there was one reconciliation. The SAT tests would not be faced for a few more months, and the juniors felt pride in the accomplishment of a hard task.

Progress For The Prom

Diligent juniors put aside much of their work in early November to think seriously about the prom. In order for the event to be a success, money had to be raised through the magazine drive. As an extra incentive to sell, prizes were awarded for reaching various sales plateaus. Work continued until the $4,000 sales goal was surpassed.

Later in the year a raffle was held to aid in funding the prom. The money earned brought the junior class closer to their goal.

Rings For Sale

In the middle of November juniors had to decide whether or not to order the newly designed Salem High School rings. If a student decided to buy a ring, a twenty dollar deposit was required. They also had to choose a ring from the various styles offered, select a stone, and decide what size ring should be bought. Many juniors could be seen trying on rings of different sizes to find the best fit. After all the decisions were made, the class of ’78 awaited the arrival of their new rings.

The Last Waltz

Juniors rushed frantically to take care of last minute details, attempting to make the prom the most memorable event of the year. During the few weeks preceding the prom, decorations and other materials were prepared, and the various committees carried out their duties. After great anticipation, the date of the prom finally arrived, and the event proved to be a great success.

Say Good-

The year was very fulfilling for the juniors. Dedicated juniors spent many long hours working on homecoming, money-raising projects, and the prom. The members of the class of ’78 spent three unforgettable years at Andrew Lewis, and they felt as if they had made their last year the best. I n the year to come at Salem High School, the juniors will surely carry through their dedication and spirit and try to set an example as the first senior class of a new school. The class of ’78 was sad to leave Lewis, but hopes were high for the new school.

A Change And

A Challenge

The transition from Andrew Lewis to Salem High School is something for the sophomore class to consider. The new beginning will challenge the sophomores’ adaptability.

One of the many changes of the new school will be scheduling. Students will have to readjust to traditional scheduling rather than the modular scheduling which has been followed at Andrew Lewis. A great deal of thought and research was given to the matter of scheduling, and the school board decided that the best possible way to educate students was under traditional scheduling because many board members felt some students used their gain time unwisely.

A Fearful Beginning

The youngest class of Andrew Lewis arrived in a state of mass confusion and fear. During the first week of school many freshmen wandered around in search of rooms on the fourth floor, but soon they all learned the general floor plan of the school and could no longer be fooled by witty upperclassmen. The disorder and fear gave way to organization and confidence and the ninth graders became an accepted part of the Lewis scene.

The First A ttempts

The freshmen’s first projects were building a homecoming float and decorating the third floor hall for Spirit Week. These projects were not only the ninth graders’ first endeavors at Lewis, but they also provided the members of the class with an opportunity to get to know each other. All of the hard work and effort put into the freshman float proved to be worthwhile because it placed third in competition. The class of ’80 proved it could compete with upper classmen and contribute to the spirit of Lewis.

The Tortoise And The Hare

The Wolverines started the season like a tortoise with a 0-3 record, but came back like a hare winning four out of their last five games, and finishing with a 5-5 record. Although the record was disappointing for Lewis’ last football season, the team continued the winning and competitive tradition expected from

a Lewis team.

Early Season

After the usual spring and summer preparations, the players headed to football camp. The sophomores played on the varsity squad for the first time in many years because of a lack of people to form a varsity and a junior varsity team. During the second week of camp, over half the team was sent home sick or injured. Injury and sickness to key players, plus the inexperience of young players, caused the team to be underprepared for its first game against powerful Lexington. The team played a good first half but ran out of gas and lost 40-7. With one game of experience, the team fought hard against Cave Spring and William Byrd but lost both games because of a few unlucky breaks. The Byrd loss was Lewis’ first Blue Ridge district defeat in history. The first victory came against Fleming, 14-7. After a 14-12 loss to Covington,

Lewis was practically eliminated from the Blue Ridge race and the team could have folded. Driven by pride, the team came back and won four games in a row: a 22-21 thriller over Lord Botetourt, a 7-0 win over Franklin County, a 8-6 comeback over Glenvar, and a 35-20 thrashing of Allegheny County. In the last game, Lewis was outclassed by the 3-A Roanoke Valley District Champion, Northside, 37-6.

Troubles Plague Wolverines

Although the offense and the defense contributed directly to victories, the specialty teams made major contributions to two wins with a 91 yard kick return against Lord Botetourt and a 2 point conversion against Glenvar. Even though most of the specialty team members were not regulars, their inspired play exemplified Lewis’ proud winning tradition.

Wolverines Take Second In State

166

The cross-country team continued the success which it had enjoyed in recent years. For the third straight year, the team took the Blue Ridge and the regionals with an impressive showing. The special quality about

the team was that it capped off its final season with a strong performance in the state meet in Williamsburg. A strong, well- balanced team was needed in order for the team to be a consistent power

in Cross-Country. The team had such balance with four of the best runners in the valley: Bobby Brugh, Doug Graham, Mark David, and Steve Surratt.

1. Coach Richard Browder watches as the runners pass the half-way point. 2. Lewis runners keep stride during their meet with Glenvar. 3. Running across the finish line, Mark David takes 2nd place in the Metro meet. 4. Jackie Kirby picks up speed as he finishes the cross-country course. 5. While runners line up at the end of the field, Mr. Darr Graham waits to give the starting signal. 6. The Cross-Country Team: 1st Row, L to r.: Steve Surratt, David Ryan, Bobby Brugh, Greg Martin, Mark David, Johnny LaRocco, Jim Elswick, Jeff Reid. 2nd Row: Coach Richard Browder, Wayne Dacal-Teijero, Doug Dover, Steve Johnson, Doug Graham, Craig Dalglish, David Napier, Mike Kummer, Preston Trail. 7.

Team Spirit , Dedication , And A Desire To Win

168

At the state cross country meet at William and Mary on November 13th, Andrew Lewis and Bobby Brugh both placed second. Handley of Winchester won the state title, but Lewis came closer to beating them than anyone had during the season.

Bobby Brugh’s time was 15:10 with Doug Graham finishing fourth and Mark David finishing eighth. Handley had three of the top five runners while Lewis had the other two.

1. Before a meet, exercises are done to help the runners loosen up. 2. Wearing an expression showing the agony of exhaustion, Doug Graham crosses the finish line. 3. Coach Richard Browder gives last-minute instructions to the team. 4. At the end of the race, Doug Dover prepares to cross the finish line. 5. Bobby Brugh crosses the finish line to set a new record at the Metro meet. 6. With the end in sight, Lewis outdistances the runners from William Byrd. 7. Jeff Reid warms up by sprinting across the field.

The girls’ basketball team began a new season with only two members of the first string returning from last year and with most of the squad consisting of freshmen and sophomores. The team was a fast- break team with a great deal of speed. The young team worked very hard to gain experience, and through the coaching of Miss Jane Painter and Mrs. Connie Thurston ended the season with a 5-5 record, placing third in the district. Both Linda Ferguson and Jackie Archer made the All- Regional Team Honorable Mention, and also the All-District

Team.

During the season a few of the games were very close and were real heart- breakers to lose. One game was lost to William Byrd during the last 30 seconds after Lewis had dominated the entire game both offensively and defensively. The future for the enthusiastic and hard-working girls in the years to come can only be called bright.

Peaked Too Soon

Unfortunately, in the case of the Andrew Lewis basketball team, it was not a case of hitting their peak the team simply did it at the wrong

time.

The team started with little experience and was brought along slowly by Coach “Chili” Campbell. Even though the team’s record was poor through the 1st 10 games, the players gained valuable experience against tough AAA schools.

When the Wolverines started their Blue Ridge District schedule, the team had jelled and finished 7-3 in the district, losing only to powerful Covington twice and to Glenvar. The players never quit and often came from far behind to make a game of it. Among these comebacks were the Glenvar game where the team came from 14 points behind before losing in the final seconds, and the Covington game where the team was 10 points behind before they lost in overtime. During the game at Lord Botetourt the team came from 18 points behind in the 3rd quarter to beat the Cavaliers on a technical after the

game ended.

The Wolverines placed 2nd in the district and received a 1st round bye in the tournament. The team needed to beat Lord Botetourt in order to advance to the regionals. Unfortunately, the Wolverines lost by 3 points as the Cavaliers made an admirable comeback of their own.

Team support increased as the season progressed with the “H.R.” club leading the way and attending home and away games. The club’s rabid support boosted the team on to many

victories.

Off

Season???

In most, if not all, sports at Lewis, there was an off season. The off season for the track men was Indoor Track. If one thought that people who ran track in the dead of winter were crazy, one became convinced of this fact when one rode a bus with the team to Lexington or Lynchburg where the meets were held. The track people played music, did elephant tricks, and were just crazy in general. The runners’ attitudes were just a reflection of the meets. Taking place in the small field houses of V.M.I. or Lynchburg College, many events took place at once, and the meets often ran behind schedule and had a circus atmosphere.

The team itself from Lewis was strong and dominated the district. A lack of depth hurt the team when the team received invitational meets and in the regionals where they took 5th place. Even though the team had to run in the halls of the school for practice and rarely had a chance to run outdoors, the participants often felt that the indoor season was the most enjoyable of the three running sports.

1. Twisting awkwardly, Dwane Nelson attempts to clear the bar. 2. Showing good form, Ned Tarpley lunges for the finish line. 3. With many people watching, Mark Spangler goes feet first into the pit. 4. The team members nervously await their turn to run. 5. Heading around the turn, Bobby Brugh sandwiches a Handley runner. 6. Running smoothly, Doug Graham leads the pack. 7. Sitting dejectedly, Ralph Stevenson wonders about his scratch throws. 8. With the pole and himself working as one, Mark Spangler heads upward.

Gymnasts Rise To New Heights

The gymnastics team was a rather small team this year. It was coached by Mrs. Connie Thurston, and managed by Marla Poff. The girls worked well as a team to make this the best season ever with Laura Derk and Sharon Puckett placing first and

second many times. The gymnastics’ team found much good competition in teams from Lord Botetourt, Allegheny, and William Byrd. In the meet with Allegheny, Sharon Puckett won three first places with Laura Derk picking up two second places. In

the meet with Byrd, Sharon Puckett won a third place and again three first places. Sharon also placed first in the regionals and second in the district.

Youth And Determination

The wrestling team, led by Walter Braine and rookie coach Maury Bondurant, worked hard throughout the season to obtain respectability.

Although crowds were small and victories few, the wrestling wolves worked with a sense of determination unsurpassed in Lewis athletics.

The team’s future is bright because only three wrestlers were seniors and the remainder will return next season with important experience. David Hall, second in the state, will return to lead what could be a powerful team at the new high school.

1. Danny Smith sizes up his opponent at the start of his match. 2. In a moment of action, Keith Campbell scores a takedown. 3. Trying to out¬ guess his opponent, Mike Gambrell begins his match. 4. Jeff Perry struggles to escape his opponent’s grip.

Mock Election ’76

The great American political system was again in action during 1976. The students of Andrew Lewis learned something about the workings of a Presidential election by participating in a mock election at school. Six seniors were chosen to represent the candidates for President and their running mates and were asked to write a speech which represented the ideas of the person they portrayed. The students listened to the candidates’ speeches and voted for the nominee of their choice. Jimmy Carter and Walter Mondale won the election by a narrow margin of 16 votes.

We're Havin' A Heat Wave???

The devastating surge of cold weather which swept the country this winter had a vibrant impact on the Roanoke valley. The natural gas shortages forced the curtailment of hours at many area establishments. As a result, profits dropped, and employees were laid-off for several weeks.

The shortage of gas and the abundance of snow caused drastic changes to be made in school calendars. Easter vacations were celebrated in January, and neighboring counties had an extended school year.

Roanoke Valley citizens became “frozen” over the subject of obscenity. Adult book stores proclaimed freedom of speech while many organizations protested. City council upheld the position of the questionable establishments and the “show went on.”

Voting and swine flu lines were lengthy and people endured the cold weather to vote for their candidate, and protect themselves from the swine flu.

Apparently many area syndicated programs died of “frostbite” for loyal viewers could substantiate no other reason for their disappearances. Avid fans were left with memories of Star Trek and the question: “Is The Gong Show really as entertaining as Dark Shadows w as?”

The cold weather kept many people indoors, but others went out for dinner and entertainment. Dining became an adventure with the opening of G.D. Graffiti at Tanglewood. Customers toured the hideaway of the gangster only to be awaited by a dinner contract and outstanding food to “finish them off.”

King Kong proved that it was possible for an ape from the tropics to survive and flourish in sub-zero temperatures.

A Star is Born proclaimed a lengthy run, but could not compare to the ape in size.

A fatal fire forced the Mill Mountain playhouse to take refuge at the Grandin theatre for its summer season. The location offered close proximity for theatre lovers, but only earj^r arrival at a production w^ould insure a parking space.

The 1976-77 school year drew to a close as most other years had ended at Andrew Lewis. The excitement of prom night, the anticipation of senior graduation and plans which were being made for the summer were all present. There was, however, another indefinable element in the air at the closing of this particular school year which had been absent in the past. It was a feeling that the future would be different not only for the seniors who were about to embark on different paths but also for the underclassmen, faculty, and administration that comprised such an integral part of Andrew Lewis. Most people looked forward to the opening of Salem High School, and yet there was a certain knowledge that things would never quite be the same, and one realized what a tremendous part of life was comprised of change. Sentiment was probably expressed best by the theme song which the band had used for the 1976-77 year . . .

Those Were The Days, My Friend

“But if in your thoughts you must measure time into seasons, let each season encircle all the other seasons.

And let today embrace the past with remembrance and the future with longing.”

K. Gibran

A Time To End ' A Time

Even though Andrew Lewis will no longer be a high school, the last Lewis yearbook will keep alive the memory of proud Lewis traditions. The book will always be a reminder of the words to “Salem Born” or the Lewis Alma Mater, the fighting spirit of the Wolverines, the many varied athletics and student activities, and the proud students and administrations who contributed to the Lewis Heritage. It is the hope of the staff of this book that the heritage of Lewis recorded here will merge with the heritage of Glenvar and that both heritages will make the Spartan name as revered as the Wolverines and Highlander are today.

I would like to thank the following dedicated people for their hard work and long hours spent trying to make this last Lewis yearbook the best: Marcus Bach, Bruce Bohon, Kim Britts, Lisa Drafts, Tom Dunbar, Della Economy, Tommy Feazell, Linda Ferguson, Andrea Greene, Amy Greenisen, Debbie Hylton, Sonya Jenelle, Steve Johnson, Mary Pat Marion, Richard Mays, Lynn Roggenkamp, Terry Shortt, Jim Snyder, Lisa Stverak, Sylvia Stverak, Lee Spiegel, Donna Terrell, Debbie Tilley, Kelly Ward, Sharon Willard, and Doug Yeuell. I would also like to thank Tom Roberts of Taylor Publishing Company, Art Cournoyer of Gentry Studios, and especially our

sponsor, Diane Brandon. The cover was designed by Mark Mitchell and the artwork was done by Amy Greenisen, Tommy Feazell, and Jeff Poore.
