way, whether it is to a differ-
ent school, a job, or perhaps *
back to SPC, we will each rem-
ember something of what hap-
pened to us here. We can hard-
ly forget the part the adminis-
trators, dorm mothers, instruc-
tors and even the custodians
have played in our lives. 11
no entries.
Hurdler Larry Witt learned
that lightning can really strike
twice in the same place as he
did his best hurdling of the
year only to finish 3rd in the
120 high hurdles and fifth in
the 330 intermediate hurdles.
Witt led the 120 highs until
he struck the last hrlde. Then
in the 330 intermediates Witt
was knocked off stride by a
falling competitor. A: the time
Witt was running a strong se-
cond to record setter Warren
Gillette of NMMI. Witt recover-
ed sufficiently to net a fifth
place finish.
Gary McKee was the only
other individual scorer for the
Texans as he picked up a 5th
place in the 220 yard dash.
The relay teams, both 440
yard and mile, were fourth to
net an additional eight points.
Witt and McKee were joined
by Walton Stahl and C.A. Lynn
in the 440 yard relay and by
Stahl and Ronnie Green in the
mile relay.
The Texans last action of the
season is May 21 and May 22

ing last season.
Leon Pope, two year veteran

and tied with Walton Stahl and
C.A. Lynn for 3rd in the high

Turnbough and Pope have
inked the dotted line. Charles
Turnbouth, a second team
junior College All-American
from SPC has been signed to a
full basketball scholarship at
the University of Texas.
Leon Pope, Tirnbough’s sink
sharer, came to a meeting of
the minds with Howard-Payne
College in Brownwood for a
full scholarship.
Turnbough commands The
Texans’ basketeers record
book. The 6-5 eager scored 450
points in his freshman year and
racked up 640 more ‘ast season.
He was an all-regional
and all-WJCA Conference per-
former in 1963-64 and made the
all conference team in 64-65.

Special Program
Thrills Students
By Robert Haynes
The SEA sponsored a live-
ly program of popular music
and dance during Fridays acti-
vity period, employing SPC’s
own talent and an exchange
group from LCC.
SPC’s Texette, featuring
Sheri Faulkner, Sandra Dalton,
Barbara Baldwin, Elaine
Stokes, Janice May, and
Marcheta Ownbey, opened the
program with two snappy tunes,
“I Enjoy Being A Girl” and
“Jamaica Farewell”. The Tex-
etts’s have performed at num-
erous functions this year, in-
cluding a very prestige appear-
ance before a State Instructors
meeting in Dallas.
Riley Lamm amazed many
people who hadn’t heard of his
singing ability as he sang
“Candy Man” and then turned
in a remarkable redention of
“Summer Time.”
Annice Watt, a student of
dance from pre-school days,
gave a display of her talent to
a Calipso tune.
Following Annice on the pro-
gram was Marcheta Ownbey.
Marcheta, an outstanding voice
student fromSPC, gave a superb
p erformance singing
“‘Grannota”.
Winding up the program was
a singing trio from LCC. The
group, calling themselves the
G’Depanirs’, were loudly app-
lauded on all their songs.
Chatter Box
This being the last edition of
this year’s Plainsman, I think
it only proper to thank those
who have contributed so much in
the way of subject matter.
To those of you who have been
such good sports when I pub-
lished your escapades..I dedi-
cate this final edition. To those
other poor people who feel they
have been unduly wronged in
that their character has been
damaged, I can only say... “The
truth hurts!"
It has been brought to my
attention, in fact slapped in my
face that one person in parti-
cular believes this exquisite
work to be, and I quote, “A silly
and high-schoolish gossip
column."
The only reply I have in
answer is that I believe, after
a survey of the readers, that
this work is one of the more
popular portions of this paper.
Perhaps some people have not
realized it as of yet, but ole
SPC is not a glorified high
school as some would have it
to be. Really we have finished
- four years of high school and
do not show such a lack of in-
' formed judgment as certain
people would believe us to show!
This year has been a first
in many things for South Plains
College, but I think the new ser-
vice clubs are perhaps the m ust
outstanding. The “Dean’s
Team” is the organization
formed for the benefit of those
outstanding female students who
make regular visits to Dean
Walker’s office.
The “Campus Cons” is the
brother service organization of
the DT’s and it is composed
of male students who relish the
sound of a particular type of
bottle being broken...parti-
cularily on the president’s lawn.
I believe congratulations are
in order to those who planned
the activities for Fiesta Week
I, for one, enjoyed all of the
activities during the week. I
hope that some of the people
who sat in the dorms and grip-
ed about there not being nothing
to do had enough curiosity to
come out and see what was
happening.
The cowboys had the largest
turnout on Western Day with
the barbecue and western dance.
This was the dance Monday
night, not the one Friday night
that Scott Robertson converted
into a western dance. I’m not
griping—its not every day that
Mr. Appling cuts in on the dance
floor!
If I may be allowed to get
sentimental for a few para-
graphs I would like to thank all
those people who have been so
good natured in taking all of my
joking.
With graduation so near, I
began to think about leaving ole
SPC and after all is consider- (
ed, I cannot be a bit sorry
that I decided to come to this
junior college.
One becomes accustomed to
the little things such as the
meals in the lunch hall and
the fights between Beverly and
Charlie. What is even better
is when there is a good meal
for a change and Beverly is
on speaking terms with Charlie!
I think that I might even
have a little trouble adjusting
to the different routine of not
being checked in at the convent
every night at 10:00 pan.
