Academics.14 Students.38 Athletics.94 Student Life.126 Advertisements.176 The 1965-1966 school term was characterized by a new vitality which surged throughout Andrew Lewis. Students lived the life of the new breed, their kinetic energy always finding humor in the least probable places. Go-go” was a befitting adjective for these lively individuals, found in the right place at the right time. The zest of the discotheque enlivened students in every situation, wherever the action was. Likewise, the school itself was rejuvenated by this novel liveliness. Fads and fashions were many and varied. The halls were gaily pasteled in vivid colors, and grotesque masks which lined the corridors created an effect of pop art. The 1966 Pioneer attempts to focus on this new catalyst, presenting the lively effects of the discotheque on Andrew Lewis and the students by pro filing them—a go-go. It’s what’s happening, baby!

of New Term As 1600 students surged through the halls of Andrew Lewis, their thoughts of reviving endless study were mingled with other feel¬ ings. There was the initial pleasure of both renewing and creating friendships and of becoming involved with challenging courses and activities. And what student could worry about plodding through mountains of assign¬ ments, when freshly painted pastel halls were there to rejuvenate him each morning? Crisp fall evenings, the cries of the cheer¬ leaders, and the recollection of last year’s state championship beckoned the student body to football games. Emotions surged as the National Anthem reverberated throughout Municipal Field. The drums rolled on the kick-off, and spectators sud¬ denly became involved in the clash between two determined teams. Their attention was adverted from the struggle only when a long-lost friend appeared among the crowd or a weary boy cried, Peanuts, Popcorn!” Halftime brought the precisely-planned band show, accompanied by the graceful move¬ ments of the majorettes. Chaos reigned when miniature footballs were tossed into the stands. When the final whistle shrilled. Victory!” to the viewers, each player scored a personal triumph; the hours of grueling practice had paid off. 5
