Traditional Black and Gold Week officially gets underway Mon-
day and will continue through Friday, climaxed by the Palo Duro
versus Lubbock High game Friday night.
ALTHOUGH THE ANNUAL spirit boosting week begins Monday,
the first scheduled activity is Tuesday. Primary election for the Black
and Gold Queen will be conducted during the homeroom period and,
if a run-off is in order, will take place Wednesday.
Black and Gold Queen will be crowned during half-time activities
by Carol Williamson, 1962-63 queen. In the past the policy has been to
crown the queen at the Monterey-Lubbock High game, in a pre-game
ceremony.
ONE OF THE HIGHLIGHTS of the week will be the night pep
rally Thursday, at 7 p.m. The pep rally will be transacted in a competi-
tive fashion with the three classes vieing for the attendance trophy. A
count will be taken and the class with the largest attendance, percent-
age-wise, will be awarded a trophy by Prin. Howard Price. The class
president will accept the award. For the past three years the senior
class has won the trophy.
The cheerleaders will begin the rally leading the student body in
chants and yells.
NEXT ON THE program will be skits presented by sophomores,
juniors, seniors and the cheerleaders. Committee heads in charge of the
skits are John D. Robertson, senior; Keeton Zachary, junior; and John
Everett, sophomore.
Class songs will be sung and class chants and yells will also be
given in the program.
STUDENTS WILL BE seated according to classes. Seniors will oc-
cupy the center section, juniors the west, and sophomores the east side.
To complete the entire program cheerleaders will lead the group
in the traditional “Victory” yell and the school song.
COMPLETING THE preparation for Palo Duro, Friday is desig-
nated as color day. Kick off for the game will be at 7:30 and Western-
ers will again occupy the east side of the stadium.

agencies, the Lubbock Communi-
ty Chest steadily increased in size.
In 1961, Red Cross was accepted
as a member agency, which re-
sulted in changing the name Com-
munity Chest to United Fund. This
follows the policy of most com-
munities when Red Cross becomes
an agency of the Community
Chest. The change in name indi-
cates an expanded program; how-
ever, the policies and operation of
the organization remain the same.
THE AIM OF the United Fund
drive is to eliminate the cost and
trouble of conducting 27 separate
campaigns; and at the same time
increase the interest of the givers
to a wider view of community
needs and services.

Day in, day out, the humdrum
of school remains practically the
same for most studepts; however,
a look into the diaries of Johnny
Walker and Suzy Crain might give
readers an idea of how these two
make each day special and mean
a little bit more.
EVIDENTLY participation is
the key to success, for both the
Junior Rotarian and Girl-of-the-
Month have done well in a wide
range of activities since the ninth
grade.
At present, Suzy devotes most
of her time to tennis. The blond’s
tennis interests started back at the
neighborhood park when she was
about eleven. Simply for a time
filler, she began taking tennis les-
sons and somehow developed her
childhood skill into that of a
champion player. Just this past
summer Suzy won one of her most
outstanding matches, the women’s
doubles at the Texas Amateur
Athletics Federation Tournament
in Dallas.
SPORTS ACTIVITIES also take
up plenty of Johnny’s time. In
junior high he took an active in-
terest in competitive athletics.
Throughout his freshman year he
was on the football and basketball
teams and ran track. When the
senior entered Lubbock High he
continued to develop his athletic
skills through Cowhand football
and golf.
School isn’t the only place where
Johnny participates in basketball.
Last year he was active on the
YMCA team sind won an award
for the most improved player.
FOR THE PAST three summers
the senior has worked as a life
guard, two years at Mackenzie
swimming pool and one at the
Lubbock Country Club.
Although sports seem to be
quite dominate in the lives of
each, they are actually a small
part compared to other activities
each honoree participates in. Suzy
has been a member of Y-Teens for
two years and has been elected to
serve as program chairman on the
cabinet. She also finds time to up-
hold honor roll grades and be in
National Honor Society. In fact,
the Westerner has made a straight
“A” report card each nine weeks
since the second semester of her
sophomore year.
JOHNNY, SENIOR class presi-
dent, has also maintained honor
roll grades. He has achieved
straight “A” semester averages

during his high school days and
has taken several honors courses.
Scouting is another common fac-
tor for both honorees. The two
joined scout groups nine years
ago; Suzy, the Brownies and John-
ny, Cub Scouts. Both have receiv-
ed the highest awards which are
given in the program.
SUZY, NOW a Senior scout, re-
calls adventures at camp last sum-
mer. “One night we took one of
the girls ‘snipe hunting’ in a can-
yon. She looked so funny, beating
around in the bushes looking for
snipes,” she laughs. (Of course,
there is no such animal as a
snipe.)
The boy scout has been awarded
membership in the Order of the
Arrow which is a society for hon-
or campers. Johnny was first nom-
inated from his troop then went
through an initiation. Now his
rank is Eagle Scout.
"BIG JOHN," as classmates of-
ten call him, was elected presi-
dent of the Texas State Junior
Classical League. Due to this of-
fice, he had an opportunity to par-
ticipate in a national convention
in Lawrence, Kansas. One day the
meet sponsored a “Day in old
Rome.” Everyone dressed in togas
and thongs typical of Roman peo-
ple. Just to complete his costume
“Big John” topped it off with a
ten-gallon Texas hat.
Yes, daily activities are wide
and varied for both honorees. A
familiar saying around Western-
er-land best describes these two—
“One gets out of something just
what he puts into it.”
