At Lew Wallace, we were able to. present many assemblies which added to our learning and knowledge of many other cultures, lifestyles, and the arts. Last year our assemblies ranged from symphonies to jazz, kung fu to dances, drama to comedy. Some of the other assemblies were more school sponsored in theme, such as Cultural Week, pep rallies and Student Council installation to name a few. Though some were more for our enjoyment, all were mainly presented to enlighten our thinking and broaden our own awareness. 1. The All City Orchestra provided us with some melodious sounds. 2.

Spirit: How ’Bout You? Taking pride in your class and showing your spirit is what Spirit Week is all about. Celebrated the week of February 14-18, Spirit Week 1977 displayed the talent and enthusiasm of students and teachers alike. The Freshman class started the week off with their decorated hall. The theme, “Spring Is In The Air” sparked warm weather clothes, baseballs and tennis racquets. On Tuesday, the Sophomore class brought us their Sophomore Circus. Lions, clowns and other circus sights could be seen walking around Wallace that day. That Was Then, This Is Now,” was the Junior class theme. The Juniors featured murals of major public figures and events of the 40’s, 50’s, 60’s and today. The Class of 1977 won the hall competition with the theme, “Senior Space Odyssey. There was a variety of strange looking creatures from every planet in the Universe. The Seniors really ended their four years with a spectacular finale. On Friday, the Lew Wallace Olympics was presented seventh hour. Tug of war and wheel barrow races were just two of the many fantastic events held.
