FALL ACTIVITIES LEWIS CLUBS GET UNDERWAY EARLY IN FALL Amid the bustle and confusion of a new fall term, the clubs and organiza¬ tions of Andrew Lewis began their an¬ nual project of shaping up and re-or¬ ganizing. This was a big job for the Yearbook staff, which faced three new editors and a majority of members new to the ways of copy and layout. The Keyettes also welcomed new members, but in a much calmer man¬ ner with a candlelight initiation ser¬ vice. In their early attempts at money¬ making, the Key Club and Pep Club ingeniously found ways to raise school spirit and their bank balances at the same time. Before the Fleming foot¬ ball game, the Key Club purchased a junk car, emblazoned Colonels across its side, and encouraged Lewis fans to demolish it with a sledgehammer at 10t per swing. The Pep Club boosted the Homecoming game against North- side by producing Nail Northside buttons that sold at 25f apiece. A de¬ cision that the Lewis faculty has been too long neglected prompted the Fu¬ ture Teachers of America to observe National Education Week with such tokens of appreciation as a smiling apple for every teacher. All the clubs kept busy and found that good hard work make for a little fun and successful activities. “Nail Northside buttons, sponsored by the Pep Club, prompt spirit during Homecoming.

ASSEMBLIES ASSEMBLIES HIGHLIGHT FALL EVENTS What assembly cards? The ones they gave at the beginning of the year. A new system of assembly scheduling was worked out to enable students to attend their classes, but still have the advantage of more assemblies. C ards were given to each student in Septem¬ ber, but they seemed to get lost easily. Despite the confusion, the Lewis stu¬ dent body enjoyed having an increase in assemblies. This increase was espe¬ cially due to the fantastic football sea¬ son and the need for pep rallies. The fall season included numerous pep rallies, highlighted by the mock football game and a fake fire drill. The Homecoming Assembly ended the fall season with 13 girls being named to the court and the students getting out of school early to see the parade.
