At the Christmas assembly, Glenda Strickland magnificently leads the choir in one of their new numbers. Vigorous in his musical teaching, Mr. Harris vainly attempts to bring forth the talent of the V. C. (Varsity cheerleaders) Choir. 27

Assemblies SCARCITY OF ASSEMBLIES CREATES ANXIETY The reigning court and the audience give a round of applause as Jane Bowman is crowned Princess of Homecoming. “Hey, do we have an assembly today? . . . You’re kid¬ ding! . . . Don’t tell me that nurse is coming today to talk on the effects of penicillin? . , . A pep assembly? It’s about time!” . . . These were the various comments heard from several students this year. These school “get-togethers” displayed school spirit, gave recognition in the way of honors and athletics, and some were just plain fun. This year there was a noticed scarcity in the amount of assemblies compared to those of last year. The main prob¬ lem was the new system of modular scheduling at An¬ drew Lewis. It was slightly difficult for the administra¬ tion to find time spots for all the assemblies, but as usual they pulled through and the faculty and the stu¬ dents shared an average of four assemblies each month. Reverend Arthur Brown, better known as the star attraction on “Lay It On the Line”, gives an extemporaneous speech on youth and responsibility at the Thanksgiving assembly. Bob Tate victoriously shoots past John Wulfken, scoring two points for the Varsity in the Junior Varsity and Varsity scrimmage. 26

As the old cliche goes, some people are spectators and some are participators. At this point the Juniors seem to have the upper hand, but the Seniors overcome their lethargy to win the contest. Basketball?? UNOFFICAL GAMES PROVIDE EXCITEMENT FOR ALL PRESENT The Wolverines were not the only basketball players that thrilled the hearts of Lewis fans this year. February thirteenth the Key Club sponsored a double-action packed event. The first game saw the “Jerseys” (Senior boys), coached by Pat Trammell, defeat the “Skins” (Junior boys), coached by Sam McCoy and Jeff Highfill, with a score of 55 to 42. During the second half of the double-header the Lewis coaches and faculty swept by the WROV All-Stars 68-53. While handing the All-Stars their worst defeat thus far this year, our men astonished the crowd with their athletic ability. February eighteenth, the better half had a chance to show their skill on the court. In order to raise funds for badly needed uniforms, the Girls’ Varsity Basketball team challenged the women faculty. The Wolverettes lost 44 to 41, but the $133 from ticket sales helped them forget their defeat. Maybe the “civilian” athletes don’t possess the speed and tricky plays of the Varsity, but their determination makes the mg. game interest- 28
