were elected as Lubbock High’s
sophomore cheerleaders in an elect-
ion last Thursday.

“I guess when they told me, my
first reactions were shock and sur-
prise,” said Lisa, “but then I thought
about the other girls that ran.”
“THE MAIN reason that I ran for
cheerleader was because I wanted
to take a part in the activities of
Lubbock High,” she explained.
Lisa’s major interest outside of
school is ballet. She teaches it to
seven and eight year old children at
the YWCA and her ambition is to
be in some profession related to
dancing.
HAVING BEEN a cheerleader for
three years at J. T. Hutchinson Jun-
ior High, Lisa has had a lot of ex-
perience with cheerleading duties.
Lubbock High, she feels, has ex-
ceptional standards of pride, sports-
manship, and consideration.
“I’m thrilled to be attending Lub-
bock High because I think it’s a
school worth working for!” said Lisa.
DON ATTENDED Slaton Junior
High last year. His activities are
mostly in the sports field, since he
enjoys watching and playing football
and basketball.
Gun collecting and hunting are
principal past time activities of this
blonde, lively, sophomore.
“HE’S A REAL NICE guy and
has the cooperation of the entire stu-
dent body,” said fellow Westerners
when informed that Don had been
chosen as one of the spirit boosters.

Kathy Edwards commented, “I am
really happy about being chosen as
one of the semi-finalists, and I’m
very proud to represent Lubbock
High in this manner. With a litle
luck and a lot of study, perhaps we
we wall all make the finals.”
“I REALLY DON’T know what to
say except that I’m happy and proud
and stunned to represent Lubbock
High as a Merit Scholarship semi-
finalist. All three of us are terribly
excited and are hoping that, with a
lot of hard work, we will become

Students Benefit From Scheduled PS AT, SAT
PRELIMINARY SCHOLAS TIC
Aptitude Tests and Scholastic Apti-
tude Tests will again be offered this
year to juniors and seniors wishing
to take them.
PSAT, offered on Tues. Oct. 22,
is shorter than SAT and is offered
mainly to juniors, but seniors trying
for a scholarship may apply. Fee
for the test is $1.50.
HELPING TO PREPARE for the
-SAT is a Win purpose of PSAT.
'Another purpose is to compare with
SAT and to hel juniorsp get accus-
tomed to taking this type of test.
Some scholarships to various colleges
and universities encourage or re-
quire the PSAT.
Although PSAT is not required for
many colleges it does give a student
an opportunity to see how well he
does in Math and English.
MRS. HAZEL MORRIS, junior
counselor comments on PSAT, “I
think all juniors planning to attend
colleges should take the PSAT so
that they can compare it with the
SAT. PSAT scores, along with SAT
are sent to colleges the students in-
didate. As a preparation for SAT,
the preliminary test is an important
test and it is an important score for
college admission and placement.
SAT is mainly for seniors although
junior may take them early if the
college or university they wish to
attend requires it.
SAT IS NOT required. However,
since the test is a prerequisite to
entering most colleges, Mrs. Morris
advises students to check the college
they plan to attend and be familiar
with requirements.
Dates for this test are Nov. 2, Dec.
7, Jan. 11, March 1 and May 3.
Deadline dates for applying are Sept.
26, Oct. 31, Nov. 27, Jan. 23 and
March 27, respectively. Fee for
SAT is $5.50.
Westy Says: Our own heart and
not other men’s opinions, form our
own true honor.
