THE WESTERNER WORLD

Lubbock Foils Experts,
Grabs Conference Lead
---- BY ALAN SEARSY -
Coach Max O'Banion's Westerners, who many figured
to end the district race in no better than sixth place, are cur-
rently perched atop the standings with a spotless 6-0 record.
WITH THE RETURN of only two starters and two squad-
men from last season's second place conference finisher, this
year's team was considered to be a rather weak one due to in-
experienced and untried players. Although
premature, it is evident that the experts were
Even though being one of the best teams
Lubbock has fielded in several years, the
Westerners have not received adequate sup-
port from the student body. When a team is
losing, it is understandable why support would
drop, but with a winning squad there can be
no reasonable explanation.
COACH O'BANION commented, "Bigger
crowds and louder noise make the boys play
harder. It gives them a realization that the
student body appreciates their efforts and that
the students are behind them all the way."
Assistant coach Don Apple added, "The
boys are playing because they love basketball,
see the crowd and hear the support given them they want to
play even more."
ON THE COURT, student enthusiasm will not make the
team play better basketball, but before the game and during
time outs and intermission is the time when the boys receive
inspiration from the students.
The Westerners have done a good job with little support.
What could they achieve if the entire student group gave their
full support in the halls and at the games?

EIGHT PLAYERS from Lubbock gained recognition on the
3-4A all-district football squad. Greg Lott was selected on
both the offensive and defensive squads as a back and half-
back, respectively. Dick Matthews was honored as all-district
center.
Tackle Alan Mattison, linebacker Bill Hoffman and
cornerback Mike Bowman were selected for the defensive
squad.
FOUR OF THE eight listed players gained honorable men-
tion. On offense lineman Ronnie Morton and Mattison were
named. Linebacker Oscar Riemer and halfback Art Carroll
were listed as honorable mention on the defensive squad.

Upperclassmen Plan Scrapbook
For 1963- 64 School Events
Setting a precedent, the 1964
senior class is preparing a scrap-
book containing pictures, stories
and articles concerning events
in which the group has participat-
ed this school term.
THE COVER will consist of
hand-made leather, which will
cost approximately $20. The de-
sign will be selected from draw-
ings by seniors. All upperclassmen
are eligible to submit entries to the
student council office.
Included in the scrapbook will
be faculty pictures, senior class
sponsors, senior council officers,
homerooms and special pictures of
class events.
PICTURES OF the Silver Spurs,
foreign exchange student, senior
assembly, Kid Day, Senior Prom
and Lavinrac Renretsew will also
be in the book. .
The idea originated in home-
room 312 when Eddie Sammons
suggested that Evelyn Huntley,
senior council representative,
bring the idea before the council.
A committee was set up to work
on the book. Co-chairmen are Eve-
lyn and Meg Morgan.
ANOTHER GROUP headed by
Suzy Crain and Dick King has
been formed to discuss the senior
gift. Some of the ideas that have
already been submitted are air-
conditioning in the auditorium,
lighting the tower and adding a
bell, a speaker’s stand with the
LHS emblem carving for the audi-
torium and a plaque for Mr. E. J.
Wallace.
This committee will discuss all
the ideas and then call for a vote
from the Senior Council.

There are cheap basketballs, and
there are the more expensive
brands. And then, there is the
uniquely expensive basketball
used by the girls' PE classes.
As Miss Sandra Harris and Mrs.
Francis Winn, instructors, were in-
flating basketballs for the season,
a small diamond fell from Miss
Harris's ring into the ball's valve
opening. Because of a school rule,
the ball can't be deflated until the
end of the season.

PE Classes
Resume Work
Returning from the extra-long
Christmas holidays, both girls’ and
boys’ physical education classes
are presently engaged in basket-
ball.
In the boys’ PE each class is di-
vided into several groups with
these groups alternating playing
basketball. The other group either
tumbles on the mats or does exer-
cises with the weights. Before each
day’s session, various agility drills
are done to tone up muscles for
the period’s workout.
The girls’ PE follows about the
same pattern except that there are
no drills done. Modern dancers, a
specialized section Of girls’ PE,
is continuing their studies.
