Enjoying the summer sun while registration goes on, are freshmen Timothy Wright and Leeanne Long. LW welcomes sister school What started out as an assisgnment in Mrs. Shirley Poogach’s freshmen English classes, developed into much more. “I asked my classes to write pen pal letters to a junior high in Taiwan, and later at a meeting in Chicago, it was suggested that Lew Wallace and Tung Feng become sister schools. Mr. Gino Burelli, art teacher, went to Taiwan representing the 1st district of Indiana. Mr. Burelli asked to visit Taichung, Taiwan because of the hos¬ pitality he had shown the Taiwan players during their stay for the Senior Little League World Series. “While in Taiwan, I met all the governors of Taichung, and was treated excellently,” explained Mr. Burelli. On Apr. 2, he pre¬ sented the principal of Tung Feng with a plaque stating that Tung Feng, Taiwan, and Lew Wallace, Gary were now united in friend¬ ship as sister schools. A similar plaque, given to Christ Christoff principal by Taiwan representatives, also hangs in our main office. Junior Maria Guardiola, entering her car, was one of the 50-60 students who received their drivers license during the summer Driver Education courses. AUGUST While activities continue arrival of class schedule hints to summer’s end C ontrary to many popular beliefs, LW students don’t sit at home all summer. When not at summer sports practices, students can be seen attend¬ ing work programs or one of the driver education courses offered. Mr. William Kukoy, driver education instructor, commented, “I like to know that when a student gets in the car with me, I’ll teach them something they’ll use the rest of their lives.” As Wallace students were just getting use to the idea of no school, August was soon here, and they were already getting their 1980-81 schedules in the mail and shopping for 10-August

Many students took advantage of the summer months to earn money. “I worked part-time at Zayre because I’ll need the money for college,” explained junior Kathy Lenzo. The Manpower organization was also offered as a form of work for some students. The organization encouraged students to clean up the school area for pay. August definitely was a reminder that school was nearing. The complaints of no lunch hours and too many biology classes were heard Aug. 25-28 at registration. “The registration schedule went smoothly, and the student turnout was high,” said Mr. Alfred Smith, assistant principal. The junior class, in anticipation of class expenses, prepared for the days ahead by sponsoring a car wash at the 49th Avenue Shell Station. The $100 earned was used in making their Homecoming float. While the student body was getting ready for the sport season to start, so were the athletes. The football, cross country, tennis and volleyball teams started practice early in order to prepare for the season ahead. “We had to get in condition for the Football O’Rama, and since the season was a tough one, I’m glad we did,” said Donyel Perry, junior.
