Happy have been our jour¬ neys to and from school on the big yelloiu buses, though ive were a little crowded. Many pleasant strolls ive have enjoyed betiveen times about the beautiful campus. What fun to congregate out front and exchange pleasan¬ tries at lunch time! Even the spruce tree, covered with snow, stands straight and elegant, an example of fortitude and uprightness.

Miss Lucy T. Jones Memo iiam MISS LUCY T. JONES On December 17, 1940, Miss Lucy T. Jones, Andrew Lewis High School’s first prin¬ cipal, passed away. She had been associated with Salem High School, now Andrew Lewis, for twenty years and was instructor in Latin at Lane High School in Charlottesville at the time of her death. Miss Jones was always painstaking and conscientious, combining admirably the quali¬ ties of an adequate disciplinarian with a deep understanding of youngsters which prompted many t osay, ‘‘We have never known a better teacher.” BOOK ONE — 1U School In 1910 when the first Salem High School Annual was publishe d the High School faculty numbered three: Miss Lucy 1 ' . Jones. Prin¬ cipal and Instructress in Latin, Mathematics, and Orthography; Miss Annie McConkey, In¬ structress in first-tear Latin and English, Science and French, and Miss Hannah G. Armstrong, Instructress in English and His¬ tory. The Andrew Lewis Faculty now numbers fifty. The school offers to its fourteen hundred and sixty-five students a diversified program, which includes courses in Shop Work, Home¬ making, Music and Business. During these years which have passed, many changes have taken place in the administration, but one thing has remained the same—Miss Annie McConkey, who has been a member of the faculty each year since 1910, is still teaching Mathematics to the students of Andrew Lewis High School. Many principals have had a part in the progress of the school, but none, a greater part than Mr. Z. T. Kyle, who now so wisely guides this great institution at a period when there is much chaos and con¬ fusion in the world about us. Annie McConkey, Hannah G. Armstrong (Faculty of 1910)
