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 226

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.
