' Principal Anderson supports enthusiasm .VR A N 2 6'5- ln a note to the class of 1943, Principal Abraham Lincoln Parker wrote: To all members of the Lewis 6 Clark family-wherever you may be: Greetings and best wishes. Carl William Anderson has contributed greatly and been a dominant part of the Lewis and Clark family for 29 years. Mr. Anderson's extensive LC career started in 1939. He was a very fine young man, commented E.L. Squinty Hunter, who coached basketball to Mr. Anderson when he was a LC student. The 1943 Tiger basketball team, perhaps the best in Tiger history, claimed the city championship with an undefeated record. Although the state tournament was cancelled because of storm coulds from World War ll, a toumey was arranged by the Spokane Athletic Round Table. Everett was selected to challenge the Tigers in the three game series. The Tigers won all three games in the series, claiming the honorary title. Bill Anderson, member of the all city team, sunkthe winning basket during the last seconds of one game. His student activities at LC extended beyond his basketball and swimming team participation. Mr. Anderson was also involved in student govemment. He was elected at Student Body vice-president and succeeded to the presidency second semester. Holding several other ofiices in the ASB, he was a member of OBC and Choir. Llpon graduating from college, Mr. Anderson took his first teaching position at Lewis S Clark and has remained at LC with only slight interruptions for an administrative stint at Ferris and Spokane Falls Community College. He taught social studies and coached freshman football and basketball. ln 1960 he was appointed to the position of assistant principal in charge of the annex. Tom Farr, a graduate of 1960 recalled, One very unusual thing l remember is that he had a blue '53 Chevy that he loaned to students to drive. ln 1971, 28 years after A.L. Parker's message, the Tiger featured another principal's notes: Despite today's apprehensions and negative elements, never before has more opportunity, more open doors, or more genuine rewards awaited those with the courage, the character, and the qualifications to reach out for their world. To those of you who are closing one door on your life and opening another, I would say: May you accept yourself for what you are and your world for what it is, keeping faith with both. These words depict the type of inspiration C. William Anderson has provided Lewis and Clark throughout his years as principal. He always had a positive attitude toward what we wanted to do, said Kari Bowden Allen, a '71 graduate. As principal, C.W. Anderson worked diligently to create a school in which students and faculty could work together to achieve leaming, not just of facts and information, but leaming about life, preparing for tomorrow while living today. Lori Smith, a '71 graduate explained, Anderson helps to create a unity between students and faculty that makes LC a good place to attend school. As leader of an entire faculty and student body, Mr. Anderson accepts responsibility for everyone at Lewis 6 Clark Mr. Anderson creates an incentive for everyone to do his best job. He oversees everyone's work yet you don't feel pressured, but you want to do well for him, said LC's Registrar Bob Lobdell. Students seldom take time to reflect why their school is outstanding in the city and why the atmosphere is generally cheerful. But when they do stop to think of it, Mr. C .W. Anderson usually comes to mind. He has reflected more spirit than anybody else. When you think of LC, you think of Mr. Anderson.
