Andrew Lewis High School - Pioneer Yearbook (Salem, VA)

Page 24 text:

Continually busy at their various jobs, Lewis’s service groups performed the many pressing chores necessary to keep the school running effectively. For the cafeteria staff, it began daily at noon when the first of 1300 growling stomachs, borne by twice as many hollow legs, rushed madly down the steps to the lunchroom. Mrs. Hale and her gang poured cauldrons of food into these bottomless pits. The office staff had to contend with scores of requests: May I use the phone? . . . How much money in the Latin Club treasury? . . . Mrs. Harper wants ninety copies of this test run off immediately!” Fingers were nimble, smiles were bright, and the office staff was always ready to lend a helping hand. Patient teachers watched as procrastinating students hurled themselves into the bookstore during the pre¬ class rushes. Paperbacks for literature courses were available for purchase by devoted scholars. Paper, pens, cartridges, and other essentials were stocked by the bookstore and consumed by would-be A stu¬ dents. The grimy debris of the daily grind was swept from the floors which were kept slick, shiny, and hazardous by the faithful and friendly janitors. Keeping up with the packrats of A.L. was one of the more trying labors of the janitorial staff. Strange and inappropriate words were removed from walls and desks by this band of White Knights. Familiar to all was the petition: Would Mr. Howell please report to the office?” MRS. JUDY C. SINK Bookkeeper Cafeteria and Office Workers Experience Direct MRS.
