Alice in Wonderland , though existing only in the realm of fancy, is sym¬ bolical of that which is in all of us—the inclination to dream dreams. We dream of the past, its joys departed; we dream of the future, and what it holds for us. Life, what is it but a dream! True, we may not always attain those things of which we dream and for which we strive; but, if we aim at the sun, though we may not reach it, the arrow will fly much higher than if aimed at an object on a level with ourselves. In using the theme, “Reflections,” in this, our 1936 Pioneer, we hope it may serve to inspire you to continue to dream. Be curious, explore unknown paths, and that which you would know, seek! Within these pages we have endeavored to capture and hold, for all time, the reflection and spirit of the Andrew Lewis High School student, to picture our life here together. It is our task to keep alive these happy memories in this, our Memory Book. We know that it may be forgotten for a time and find its place in the attic with the other “old things”; but sometime, some day, we will feel inclined to reminisce—perhaps, when the way seems dark and the road uphill—then, in the cloud of dust which follows its opening, who knows but that we may catch an inspiration for the task ahead of us from the joys of days gone by—of old friends, classmates, scenes! Then, this “Alirror of Reflections” will have served its purpose. andrctti iLcttiis fiigh School « DEDICATION TO Mr. 2arl 15. jBroadttiatcr WHO, BY HIS COOPERATION, IN THIS, HIS FIRST YEAR AS PRINCIPAL OF ANDREW LEWIS HIGH SCHOOL, HAS COMMANDED THE RESPECT AND ADMIRATION OF EVERY MEMBER OF THE FACULTY AND STUDENT BODY, WE DEDICATE THIS THIRD VOLUME OF HHie pioneer 4 ' Che ponccr of ig e 4 4 4 4 4 4 4 2 lma Water By Russell Graham Loyal sons of Andrew Lewis , Lift your voices clear; Sing to praise our Alma Rlater , Songs we love most dear.

Vice President . Secretary-Treasurer .John Thornton .Buddy Johnson Mildred Atkinson We, at Andrew Lewis High School, think, with Goethe, that that government is best which teaches us to govern ourselves. Alice found herself confronted with all kinds of trying experiences which de¬ manded patience. Even though she was told that she was not intelligent enough to be talked to, Alice still labored and learned, without exhaustion, and received a lesson from all her mistakes. We feel that Student Government is constructive in that it aids the student to govern himself as well as lead in the governing of his fellow students. Through our student body officers and council we are trying to promote self-government in our school. Seven Wk ponccr of ig56 •tS 4 6 • Pioneer Staff EDITORIAL STAFF Editor-in-Chief .

A contradictory world, and queer, IVhere it does not always appear That things are just exactly right, 1 et if they were it seems we might Be disappointed that we went, And wish that we had not been sent. The strange and new we do require, Adventurers sit not by the fire. And though adventurers we would be, Sometimes we find we like to see Reflections of our high school days; Remembering all our high school ways; Recalling faces, and the scenes. In our annual, here, we have the means, As we can magically re pass, Through our wondrous looking glass.

FERNE VIRGINIA YOUNG “I know a secret” Home Economics Club, 1-2-3-4 » But awaken now from your dream And take your place in life’s golden stream, Azvake now from your dream afar With your ambitions pinned to a star. You have traveled far, into another day, One in which your knowledge will ever hold sway You have learned to live, and lived to learn, That you only receive what you earn. You have worked hard, through bitter tears; Others have struggled with infinite fears, To gain counsel, both good and true, Which will, in time of trouble, your strength renew. May “ Forward!” ever be our watchword Conquer and prevail; While out of the sea of despondency May we ever set our sail. And now , Oh Seniors, your leave partake, Go out into the world your fame to make For with that great pilot, Knowledge, at the helm A Sea, the Universe may be thy realm.

What were these queer figures? Oh yes, the chessmen—lying just as they had fallen in the ashes of the fireplace. Alice started toward them, or rather away from them, for because of some peculiar happening ever since she passed through the mirror everything had to be done backwards. Just then the Red Queen arose majestically from the ashes and dusted herself off. “Well, little girl, what are you doing here? Don’t I have enough trouble with this lumbago, and that Virginia Williams throwing me on the floor every time Elizabeth McCormick beats her at chess?” “No, not Lorraine Williams, the banker’s wife, nor Louise Williams, the divorcee, although they treat me rough, too, sometimes.” Just then Alice heard a noise outside the window and she backed across the room and looked out. Up the street came the end of a circus parade. My, how the band proudly backed down the street! There was Francis Shockey whanging away on a big bass drum, but all of a sudden the strap broke and down the street rolled the drum, much like a giant hoop. The crowd roared and even Drum Major Sears had to stop prancing before Doris and watch. On and on the drum rolled, knocking down three bystanders, who later proved to be Flora Bolton, Anita Benois and Mildred Wimmer. Finally, after it had smashed through the plate-glass window of the Guthrie, Gilbert and Wright Grocery, the drum came to a halt in front of a huge pickle jar bearing the inscription “Aldridge’s Famous Bitter Sours.” By this time the parade had caught up with the drum, that is everyone except Guilford Huff, the piccolo player, who was always late. Leading the indignant procession, which arranged itself in front of the pickle jar, was Turner Ashby Graves, president of the Amalgamated “ Good Night” Club of America. Beside him stood Pauline Martin, whom the newspapers termed “The Carrie Nation Of Her Age.” Alice gasped as she watched the sight. What was happening to the drum? For all of a sudden, from tlie huge rip in its head appeared the queerest sight she had ever seen. She could catch at a distance only a few words of explanation, out of the torrent of volatile phrases which poured forth from the mouth of Edith Hubbard, the country’s best known and often heard congresswoman, who chanced to be standing on the street corner thumbing a ride. “Why, Jack Slusser, what were you, John Thomas, Harry Clark, George Baker, John Davis, Lee Akers and Boyer Hall doing inside of that drum?” She was dumfounded and could go no further. Slusser, always the spokesman for the crowd, cried out, “We couldn’t help it. We were only touring the bass drum factory, when the managers, Bob Blackard and Billy Coffey, pushed us inside one of the unfinished drums and before we could say ‘Hilda Alwilda Thomas’ the drum was sealed up and we were on our way to the Turner (Charles) Music Shop.” By this time the parade was ready to continue, but then someone (Detective William Kellner) discovered that one of the band, Carey Breithaupt, was missing. However, he was soon found standing in front of a sign labeled “Katherine Lewis, Trombone Lessons While You Wait.” Now Alice directed her attention to the crowd milling around in the street. There was the dashing boulevardier, Sam Hutson, in earnest conversation with Geraldine Hatcher, th e country’s latest music sensation, whose newest piano pulsation was sweeping the land with as much fire as was Lamar Grissom, the swing violinist. Just then up the street swung Richard Cormell, John Naff and Raymond York, recently back from England where they had represented Eton Academy in the National Cricket Tournament. Cormell was waving a letter from Sarah Fleck, proprietor of the new Grey Rock Spring Summer Resort. In this she said that John Thornton and Bob Woltz, co-owners of the “Home For Aged Spanish Athletes,” had announced a change of policy for the coming term and stated that hereafter Professor Herbert Hodges would be in charge of all preliminary training for those wishing to continue the study of the sport. Alice was slightly bewildered but she had not time to remain in that condition long, for before her eyes purred a long, sleek Rolls-Royce with the letters “Ferris and Farris, Names Re-euphonicised.” A book dropped from the window of the car. It was titled “Verbose Expressions Sadly Misused and Why, ” by Ruth Murphy, LL. B., A. B. A woman darted out from the curb and picked it up, scanning the pages. It was none other than Virginia Rezek, internationally known literary critic. She was accompanied at the time by Professors J. A. Harr and W. L. Moorman, holders of the Nobel Prize in Mathematics and Chemistry. The milling throng below the window suddenly grew quiet and every person in the great crowd seemed to be straining his ears to catch every word from a dramatic, melodious, entrancing, enthralling, gripping, thrilling voice which came from the window of a tall office building. A few of the bystanders, namely, Clayton Burton, Frances Jobe, Nell Coleman, Melba Calloway, Dan Finley and Harry Gwinn were moved almost to tears at the lachrymose tale which ended with the following climax: “Oh, please, Air. Bain, raise my salary to just four dollars a week!” “I’m sorry, Miss Barnard, Air. Pierpont and I have talked the matter over and decided that you’ll have to be satisfied with three-thirty-nine.” T Twenty-Five 4 4 The pioneer of 1936 L 4 Alice wept at the pitiful tale, but the Red Queen sniffed, “Huh, when I was her age I worked for Harold Craig for twenty-nine cents per day.” “Yes, it looks like Shirley Graham, the Coca-Cola king, is the only magnate who pays his help decently, unless it be Moomaw and Wimmer, the beauty salon operators.” Just then the White Queen bounced up and exclaimed, “ I have just been reading about a boy, D. R. Rice, who has made a pile of money renting himself out to people having big weddings. You see they shoot him out of a cannon at the bride and groom and, in this manner, Rice is thrown on a large scale. Let’s see .... Dorothy Dean, Eileen Darnell, Mildred Cunningham, Margaret Huff, Ruby Jones and a lot of others used this new method when they were wed.” Alice wasn’t listening; she was watching, outside the window, an airplane which was writing in smoke letters, “Keesling and Sowers—Elocution Lessons.” A horn honked and one of the fleet of Chapman and Dunahoo Quick Delivery trucks tore up the street bearing the dress shirt of R. Franklin Hough who was scheduled to address the Grant, Sale and Hash School of Physical Education that night on the subject, “What To Do With Unemployed Hop-Skip- and-Jumpers.” The Red Queen said, “What ever became of Elizabeth Janet Martin?” The White Queen said, “Oh, you mean Elizabeth Melva Martin, don’t you?” They were off again. Alice sighed. It was terrible the way they argued. If it wasn’t the Martins or the Fleshmans it was the Dillards, Agnes and Frances. It was terrible, and Zola Holland was the only one who could do any¬ thing with them! Again she turned to the window, for Paul Eller, the Arthur Tracy of his age, was crooning beneath it. Suddenly from across the street came one of those juicy cream puffs from the Gardner Bakery. It struck Eller on the nose. Billy Turner laughed and laughed for he knew all the time he did it. A second cream puff, not from the hands of Turner but his partner in crime, Acy Adams, found its mark on the mouth of Virginia Grant, and the latter’s cries of indignation could be heard above even the wails of her companions, Miriam Garst and Madge Davis. Such was the life of a pedestrian in Wonder¬ land! There was a muffled roar dying away, in the distance, which worried Alice at first but the Red Queen tartly remarked, “Only Jim Taney and Billy Sellew bent on relieving the distress of the weaker sex!” Below, on the street, Senator Garland Bruce and Governor Pershing Collins were talking. “Say, Collins, a group of women were in to see me yesterday trying to see if I couldn’t do something about the abolishing of party-line telephones, and I sent ’em over to see you.” “Who were they?” “I think the list ran something like this: Eula Overstreet, Elizabeth Perrow, Sybil Pardue, Margaret Poff, Madeline Price and Beatrice Ramsey.” “Well, they’re all wealthy. I’ll have to do something about it.” This tickled Alice and she began to laugh. “Hush child,” the Red Queen said, “you remind me of Leo Whiticar and Charles Williams, the radio comedians, laughing at their own jokes.” A quintet of the town’s leading young women had stopped across the street to admire the show window of Kime and Mitchell, clothiers. In the group were Hazel Arthur, Rosa Altizer, Mary Bowman, Ellen Coffey and Ruth Fralin. Alary spoke up: “Let’s go down to Annabelle Hobbs’ tea room and have a bite to eat.” “Certainly, and we can read some of Virginia Fuqua’s newest free verse.” The tea room was crowded, but Douglas Johnston, the millionaire head waiter, found the party a table. Nearby were seated Attorneys Ralph Morgan and Henry Willard, dining with two influential clients, Mary Louise Stoutamire and Nancy Lee Seanor. Perhaps you think that Alice couldn’t see this but you mustn’t forget the magic looking glass. “Watch Robert Goodwin, Julian Mowles, and Eugene Overstreet eat,” Alice said. The Red Queen shrugged her ivory shoulders and sighed, “Yes, it reminds me of the old days when Robert Butler, Riley Scruggs and Russel Vest used to clean out the Andrew Lewis Cafeteria.” “Ah, there’s the Red Dog Mouth-Wash Trio, Doris Hollyfield, Alargaret Johnston and Gertrude Kingery, and beside them sit Clayton Burton and Ruel Watkins, the sound effect men.” “That’s nothing. Here comes Homer Scott, the orthographic expert, with Andrew Richards and Fern Young, the comedy team.” As Alice turned from the looking glass she didn’t observe the entrance of Virginia Staples, Hazel Alowles and Frances Miller, a trio of female efficiency experts. The little girl started to retreat across the room, when suddenly she tripped over the chess board and “Bang!” she went right through the looking glass again! A queer feeling went over her as she brushed the ashes from her dress and then noticed how tiny and still the Red Queen and the White Queen looked lying on the floor. Somehow Alice felt strangely alone without her chess-board friends and all the interesting personages of the Senior Class to help her while the hours away. Twenty-Six —John Thornton 2ndrctt) Xcvnis iftigh School President . Vice President Secretary. .. Treasurer Junior Class OFFICERS .Jack Stone . .Caroline Maxwell . .Margaret Trent Colleen Sanford Junior Sentiments One of the many thrilling adventures experienced by Alice was the journey with the Looking-Glass Insects. She found herself seated on the train with such fellow-passengers as a Goat, a Beetle, and a Gnat. The Guard put his head through the window: “Tickets, please!” Alice was terrified. Again, “Show your ticket, child!” .... “I’m afraid I don’t have one,” said Alice. “You see, there was no ticket office where I came from” .... “Don’t make excuses. You should have bought one from the engine-driver. Why, the smoke alone is worth a thousand pounds a puff!” .... There’s no use speaking, thought poor Alice. After looking at her through telescope, microscope, and opera glass, he remarked, “You are traveling the wrong way!” A voice that sounded like that of a horse said something and an extremely small voice kept whispering something in her ear. Suddenly there was a shrill scream from the engine, and someone announced that the train was merely jumping over a brook. There was comfort in the thought that this would take them into the Fourth Square. As she felt herself rising, Alice caught at the Goat’s beard, which seemed to melt away and she found herself sitting quietly under a tree. Oh, if she could only reach the Fourth Square! .... She traveled on until she finally came to the cross roads. Which should she take? Three years ago, we Juniors, a group of promising-looking young things, greeted the teachers of Broad Street School. On that September day, in the autumn of 1933, we seated ourselves in the Coach which was to transport us through High School, finally to bring us to Graduation and Success! Like Alice, we were curious to explore untried paths and frequently were made to suffer chagrin by being told that we were “going the wrong way.” Indeed, we have been reprimanded so severely sometimes that one might have wondered if there were Goats even among us! Many times we have felt that it was no use, so scrutinizingly have we been examined along the way, but the small voice within kept whisper¬ ing words of courage. As we venture through the dangerous section, Halls, we are constantly confronted by someone: “Building pass, please!” .... “Why, you see, I have none, I forgot. . . .” Then, “Do you have your work prepared?” in class we are asked. “Er—No,—last night I had to go to . . . .” “Don’t make excuses!” and we are sent to report to the office where we are told: “You are traveling the wrong way; I will not have such behavior!” And now, we have come quite a distance. We are happy that, although the journey thus far has been hazardous, we have reached safely the Third Square. Someone announces that our train must “jump a brook.” (Two we have already crossed, both of which were so perilous that we feared the Coach would be upset.) We feel ourselves rising in the air and we grasp eagerly the opportunity to cross this third brook successfully. If we can only reach the Fourth Square! We feel now that our troubles, like the Goat’s beard, will have “melted away,” and that we shall find ourselves “sitting in the shade of the trees” when we have reached the Senior Square —but then, of course, in the distance, the cross roads also await us. Who knows the way that we shall choose? —Sibyl Stump Twenty-Seven uniors Adams, Jack Bunting, Bobby Davis, Edith Hall, LIazel A ) Adams, Thomas Byrd, Ethel Dillard, Mltndi Helton, LillianI K Akers, James Candler, George Dooms, Helen Higginbotham, ’ v u Apostalou, Peter Carr, Marguerite Drain, Helena Elizabeth Armstrong, Van Carroll, Louise Duncan, Tressie Holdren, Virginia Bain, Walter Carter, Emily Earnhardt.

When we were Sophomores algebra was “simple” and we were all “masters of English”: school was, day after day, happiness and fun. Then we became Juniors. Things were more complicated and more serious. We spent some little time studying, and not quite all of our remarks were foolish. We joined a club or two and some of us even achieved the Student Council. Now, at last we are Seniors. But, to our surprise, we are just learning the fundamentals of the English and algebra of which we thought ourselves the masters when we were Sophomores. We have almost finished the year in which Hamlet and Macbeth are evils and we have hardly a moment to waste. Yes, we have lived through the woes of the Annual and are now enjoying its “Reflections.” We may have been the “Most Conceited” or even “Teacher’s Pets.” All these as pictured and explained here are the priceless reminiscences of our school days. Classes The first bell rings at nine, The students then come in. A few stragglers left behind Come pounding in like “iron men.” All is quiet while the roll is called Except for a whisper here and there; Then, like a clarion, another bell rings And the students go up the stair. I go silently into the Library Where all is as quiet as a mouse; It greatly resembles an office Of an efficient banking house. The students all are studying Or so it appears to me; A smile lights the face of a youth As he conquers problem number three. Toward the end of the period With all their studies done The students read the funnies Or gaze dreamily into the sun. The second class breaks up their revelry For there is a class in Economics. Most are Seniors in this class Still laughing at their comics. The teacher raps the desk And calls the class to order. She calmly tells one trouble-maker That he is on the border. The sniggle that follows this announcement Makes the young man’s face turn red. He hides his face right in his book And covers up his head. The next class is the one I love It’s English you can bet And the teacher of this class I never shall forget. She knows more English than Webster did, And she can teach it, too! She makes you work, of course, But this work you’ll never rue. The next bell rings, for luncheon — I’m as hungry as a bear. I go to the cafe and eat A sandwich that is rare. After lunch I walk around To let my luncheon settle After awhile I hear a sound It’s a sound of a gong on metal. My fourth class I do enjoy Because of a girl, you see. Algebra is the subject, And is it hard? Did you ask me? The blue-eyed girl, with the blonde hair Is cute as she can be. I know little algebra, and she Tries her best to make me see. When this delight is ended I feel a little sad, For I see her no more till tomorrow. The thought drives me almost mad! Today we have assembly, A program we’ll enjoy, By the Literary Contestants, Two girls and a boy. And, last but not least, I ' m sure 1 go to biology class Where I learn of all living things — Animals, birds, flower and grass. The work is very interesting Yet still into sleep I roam I am awakened very rudely By a bell which says, “Go home.” By Russell Graham T hirty-Three 4 Wxt iponeer of ig 36 4 4 4 4 4 4 4 Things to Do There are things to do every day Whether in work or whether in play Things that make the time go by Like the Girl Reserves and boys ' Ili-Y.

In the All-County Meet at Vinton we came in a close second, trailing by eight points. Led by Captain Shirley Graham, we were outstanding in hurdles, dashes, the broad jump, discus, and shot put. With many of the members of the track squad returning, we should be fortunate in a track team next season. The members of the team are: Graham, Shirley Kellner, Billy Pierpont, Hobart Johnson, Buddy Gardner, Bill Lee, Eldridge VIINTER, LEN Whitlock, Hubert Minnix, Boyd Golf Since only one of the four from last year’s state championship team returned, and due to the fact that several of the qualifying players in the preliminary compe¬ tition are out of school, it was decided not to enter a team in the State Meet. It is hoped, however, that we shall again be able to capture the title in ’37 and produce another great team like that of ’35. Girls’ Baseball William Fleming was defeated Wednesday, April 29th, by Andrew Lewis girls’ baseball squad with a 10-0 score. This was the second game of the season for the victors, the first being with Back Creek. Beulah Grant was elected captain by an overwhelming majority and under her leadership the team is rapidly improving. The members of the team are: Higginbotham, Elizabeth Grant, Beulah Hash, Myrtle Maxwell, Caroline Harrison, Frances Stuart, Betty Parker, Higginbotham, VIary S.

In the same way, she was introduced to the pudding; afterward, a poem was recited about fishes, then a toast to Alice’s health. She was told that she should “return thanks in a neat speech.” Being greatly frightened, Alice faltered, “Thank you very much but I can do quite well without.” “That wouldn’t be at all the thing,” replied the Red Queen. Then, “I rise to return thanks.” Presto! all sorts of things happened in a moment. Bottles, taking plates for wings and forks for legs, fluttered about as birds; the White Queen disappeared into the soup as a leg of mutton; and, as Alice continued to shake her violently, the Red Queen grew “shorter and fatter” —“softer and rounder”—until she finally assumed the form of Alice’s own dear, black kitten! Rubbing her eyes, Alice said, “You woke me, Kitty, out of oh! such a nice dream!” In like manner, the journey through our Looking-Glass world is completed, and after shaking ourselves, we realize that we, too, have awakened from a “nice dream.” Rubbing our eyes, we recognize the place as none other than our own beloved Andrew Lewis High School. Looking backward upon our duty of guiding you along this journey, we feel that “we can not do quite well without”—making a speech of thanks. “It would not be at all the thing” to make our bow without expressing our appreciation to some who have helped to make the adventure possible. Therefore, “we rise to return thanks.” To that lovable man, Lewis Carroll (1832-1898), who, because of the creation of these charming adventures, will never die in the minds of those who dream dreams, we offer gratitude for the inspiration which gave us the idea of taking this journey. To the typing depart¬ ment, to the members of Mrs. Pedigo’s Poetry Club, and to all who have aided us, we express our sincere thanks. Now, in conclusion, last but not least, may we introduce the business firms who have manifested their belief in The Pioneer by giving us their advertisements.
