No matter how the old school beckons Us back to it once again, That Rendezvous with Life Must be kept. Our happy, care-free voices Are hushed That once you heard re-echo Through the rooms and down the halls, The voices wise and thoughtful Are hushed. And now we ' ll face the world All by ourselves. To you, to me, no one will lend The helping hand the teacher lent, We ' ll step out in the world All by ourselves. We have to keep that Rendezvous With Life. Tho ' you prefer to be back there At school and classes once again, We have a Rendezvous to keep With Life. —William Joyner S ANDREW LEWIS HIGH S CHOOL ELLEN ONEY AGNER “ The only way to have a friend is to he one Home Economics Club, i; Reading Club, 4; Basket Ball, 4 JAMES ANDREW AGNER “Large was his bounty and his soul sincere EILEEN ANNE ARGABRIGHT “She has a way all her own Latin Club, 1, 2; Literary Society, 1, 2, 3; Girl Reserves, 3, 4; Spanish Club, 4; Secretary Sophomore Class; Presi¬ dent Junior Class; Assistant Editor of Annual, 4; Business Manager of Newspaper, 4; Student Council, 4; Secretary of Literary Society, 2.

Just as the adventurous pioneers of old sailed from the Old World to the New, we have passed from the old Salem High School to the new Andrew Lewis High School. The voyage required four stormy years in which we learned to look to our captain, Air. House, and the crew, the Faculty, for support and guidance. Before our first semester was over and when we were getting used to the rigors of high school life, our high school was partially destroyed by fire, and so, for the rest of the school term, we went to school without a school, using College Avenue as our campus. As Sophomores we entered the renovated Salem High School in the fall of ’32. Despite the crowded condition of the high school and the knowledge that the word, “Sophomore,” meant “wise fools,” we worked faithfully on toward our ultimate goal, graduation. In ’33 we again entered the old building, but, as Juniors and with the vision of the new high school building ever before us to spur us on to greater efforts. Then in ’34 we entered the new Andrew Lewis building with modern equipment for study and recreation at our disposal and with the knowledge that we, as pioneers, would be the first class to graduate from Andrew Lewis. The last-minute rush is almost over, the announcements have been mailed, the Senior play is under way, and Commencement Day is just ahead, when we shall leave the care and guidance of Air. House and the Faculty to embark upon the seas of life. Alay we, the Class of ’34, realize our obligation to the Faculty and to the School to carry out the traditions and honor of Andrew Lewis as we journey through life, whatever our separate paths and ways may be. To you, the Class of ’35, we hand this flickering torch of knowledge, be it yours to hold high to guide those classes yet to come. { 36 ishburne Richmond iuson Richmond. J unkin Most Conceded !

[Excerpts from the Diary of Clara Bruce, found in the Year of 1986] August 6, 1942 Dear Diary: To-day I attended the Alumni Banquet of the old High School. I declare, it seems ages since 1934, when we were Seniors. I saw so many of the class and heard about so many more that I just must write about them. Elmore Hood is editor of the Roanoke Times, and on his staff are other alumni including Marguerite Warren. Emma Hall is a social reporter on another newspaper. Aaron Mann is a prominent advertising agent, working for various firms whose ads appear in the Times. Marshall Richmond, nationally known for his improvements on the radio, was there, and Jeannie, too—she sings over WYZ, New York. Margaret Perrow has proven to have great ability as a violinist. Henry Garden is a successful business man, and he and Benson Shank have just entered into a partnership. India Pace is now in the opera. Edna Mowles has just gone to Hollywood where, by the way, Louis Gardener is making a name for him¬ self. Walter Gottschalk and Howard Peters have entered politics; Walter is now our senator from this district, while Howard is in Congress. Loomis Kelly is an engineer and doing well. Virginia Hodges is director of athletics at the “Y” in Roanoke. Marian Hansbrough is a social worker—Hull House couldn’t do without her. Ozelle Robey is happily married to a wealthy manufacturer, and they came up for the Alumni Banquet. DeLois Ferguson and John Jett have reached the highest peak in boxing. Donetta French and Phillip Perdue are living in the same town, and they say they are still making eyes at each other. Bill Joyner, as editor, has brought the Literary Digest to the highest point of success it has reached yet. And, by the way, we have another man at Washington from the Class of ’34, Robins Hall. He is a member of the Cabinet. The class is widely scattered—Lucille Hurst lives in New Orleans, but stopped over for the banquet on her way from her second trip to Reno. Lucille Richardson has received all necessary degrees, and now signs her name with an M. D. attached to it. Eldridge Garrett is in the cigar business. Margaret Gresham is happily married to an army officer, and, as she told me, “—had the wonderful luck of being at home for the banquet.” She told me about literally scores of the class—I don’t see how she happened to know so much. She said Jessie Keesling was in Europe as As¬ sistant to the Ambassador to England. Victor Yonce is a member of the World Peace Conference that meets in Geneva this spring. Evelyn Clinvell and Marie Eakin are honored members of the faculty of the old Alma Mater. Frances Williams is married, likewise Eva Bryant, Hazel Bradley, and Ellen Agner. They all live in Salem. Ruth Candler is still playing basket ball on several teams. Edward Bayse is farming and making profits, too, they say. Firebaugh-Callison, Inc., are manufacturing cigars. Hugh Carter is a sheik in a big way, since somebody died and left him a fortune. Grace Brubeck is using her wonderful speaking voice in a number of ways, making speeches for various causes. Lenora Cornwell is working as a fashion model in a Richmond dress shoppe. Norman Duffy is another among the farmers of Roanoke County. James Cox is selling insurance for the Metropolitan Life Insurance Company. Eve Counts is still writing essays and winning medals. Roy Coleman is in Alaska on a gold-searching expedition. Landon Blackwell is working on an engineering project in South America. Frank Deel has one of the best small farms in the state. Charles Cromer is a large manufacturer of bicycles. Alary Barnett has returned to Salem to live after spending several years in Canada. George Beech is a big fire warden. Reuben Wohlford is now in Mexico mastering Spanish and the young ladies. Rea Wills is in a shipbuilding concern in Norfolk. Now, I hope I can see some more of the class soon and talk over old times. 39 Junior Class Ross Depkin. Augusta Saul.

ANDREW LEWIS HIGH SCHOOL Football, 1933 The 1933 Football Season may well be termed the most successful in the annals of our school. Starting out the year with better facilities than in the past years and with better than average material returning from previous years to Coach Denton and Pete Lavinder, an alumnus of Salem High School and graduate of Roanoke College. Victories, among others, were recorded over our old rivals, Jefferson, of Roanoke, and Glass, of Lynchburg. To pick out for special mention any one of the members of the team, would be to destroy that element of teamplay so manifested this season. Injuries to keymen in the latter part of the season prevented a perfect record. Pointing with pride to our victories and the manner in which the game was played throughout the entire schedule, a precedent is created for future teams of Andrew Lewis to follow. Bo Short was elected Honorary Captain for the season and Bob Barnett, Captain of the nineteen thirty-four edition of the Wolverines. Abingdon.... Covington... Jefferson.... Lynchburg. . Bristol.

She was amply helped by Cheek and Hubble at the guard positions, Richmond and Sanford at the forward positions, and Hash at the center position. Cheek and Sale had the honor of being selected on the all-tournament team. 4 71 } Golf Team Eldridge Garrett..
