THE SPIRIT OF LEW WALLACE The name Lew Wallace was chosen for our school in honor of the distinguished general who is remembered as the author of Ben Hur and many other books. By popular vote of the students attending the Forty-fifth Avenue Grade School in 1926, the official change in name was made. The enrollment at that time was 502; today we have 3097 students in our school. Through the co-operation of General Wallace ' s grand¬ son and the Wallace family, our school adopted the crest of the Wallace family. This crest was created during one of the bloodiest Scotch wars when William Wallace, serv¬ ing under Robert Bruce, led an attempt to prevent the British from gaining control of Scotland and the throne. The crest consisted of the figure of an upraised lion representing strength, a lifted hand to represent peace, an ostrich for beauty with a horseshoe in its mouth for good luck, and thistles representing Scotland. To complete the crest, the Latin motto, Sperandum est, meaning One must hope, was inscribed above the ostrich.

ENGAGING IN 4 Some of the happiest moments of our lives have been spent while participating in school affairs. Working and having fun together have given us an opportunity to get acquainted with each other. Musical organizations such as the Lewettes have helped us to appreciate music. They participate in musical events for school and social affairs. Our parents also have helped to keep our school spirit alive, especially when they joined with our teachers to organize the PTA ' s annual Fall Festival. This was the occasion for the annual Faculty Play. We will probably never forget the many conversions of the school gym into seventh heaven for those dreamy dances such as the Inaugural Ball and Washington ' s Ball. Through our many activities, we have learned to work together and to be tolerant and more understanding toward those who do not share our own points of view. Our activities help us keep alive the spirit of Lew Wallace. Looking as if they are in seventh heaven ore Pat Coady and Tom Owens at the annual Inaugural Ball. v.
