Suedes, Petticoats,

Out of the deep dark jungle
came the scream of a cat, “You’re
standing on my suedes!” This
may be an old joke, but nobody
likes to spend an evening at home
brushing suedes.
Buckskins, suedes, full skirts
over layers of petticoats, heavy
socks, pink and charcoal, flat tops,
duck tails, and long strands of
beads help compose the teenagers’
whirlwind existence.

2 Boys, 8 Girls Graduate
In 1909/ Says Salutatorian
By Leona Spradling
Two boys and eight girls com-
posed the Lubbock Senior High
School graduating class of 1909,
Mrs. Ed Schroeder, salutatorian of
the class, told Mr. E. J. (Pinky)
Lowrey’s seventh period Texas
history class Tuesday, Nov. 9.
The eight subjects offered,
which were American history, ad-
vanced arithmetic, Algebra II,
plane geometry, physics, Latin,
rehetoric (English grammar and
composition) and spelling, were
taught by eight or ten teachers,
Mrs. Schroeder, the former Miss
Hattie Summer, explained. Mr. E.
R. Hayngg- v/Ss'"superintendent of
the school.
“Credits were not affiliated,”
Mrs. Schroeder added. “Report
cards were scored excellent, very
good, good, and poor.”

'‘he kids out of an education,” Mrs.
Children's Theater
To Present Comedy
“The Panda and the Spy” by
Mary Virginia Heinlein, was pre-
sented by the Children’s Theater
Penquin Players Monday, Tues-
day, and Wednesday in the audi-
torium.
The story concerned the Allen
family, who found their home all
topsy-turvy one morning and were
unable to discover the reason. Lat-
er, little Mandy revealed to her
brother and sister that she was
hiding a Panda, which had escap-
ed from a circus.
Mandy kept the Panda hidden
from her parents, who couldn’t
understand the strange happenings
in their home.
When a spy crept in, bound Mr.
Allen, and tried to steal some con-
fidential documents, it was the
Panda who proved to be the hero
of the occasion.
Nelda Womack portrayed the
part of Miranda Allen; David Rig-
ney, Mr. Allen; Wanda Falls, Mrs.
Allen; Roma Caviness, Bertha;
Jackie Blair, Janet Allen; and
Sandra Sherrill, Gloria Allen.
Tommy Galloway was Richard
Allen; Jocunene Boyd, Miss' Jen-
nings; Mack Osborne, enemy ag-
ent; Jo Nell Wharton, Mrs. Jack-
son; Elaine Smith, Maybelle Endi-
cott; Susan Mansell, Miss Sadie
Simms; and Jeanette Taylor, Miss
Millie Simms.
The stage crew was composed
of Liz Creson, bookholder; Jimmy
Sinclair, stage manager; Roland
Myers, properties; Jack House,
sound effects; and Royce Hunter,
lighting.
Schroeder said in explanation of
the approximately two hundred
and forty students enrolled in
school in 1909. Those that went to
school walked, rode horseback, and
drove buggies or buckboards.
Mrs. Schroeder remembered
that each member of the class of
1909 contributed to the commence-
ment program, some speaking and
others presenting musical num-
bers.

I don't suppose you could guess
what today is — not with “mil-
lions” of little people scurrying
along the halls of LHS in every
shade of black and gold imagin-
able. Yep, All-Westerner Day is
here and we are glad to see so
many club readers carrying out
this tradition.
Sophomores Troy Filber, Arden
Gifford, Harlon Lambkin, Milton
McKee, and junior Bill Downs
were initiated into the Westerner

band room by President Gerald
Woolam, Jerry Allison, Dalvin
Boone, and Kenny Cummings.

burn, Sandra Sherrill, and Carma

Bing sang with his easy-going
smoothness and Frankie still had
his ability to make the gals swoon.
Teen-Age Views
(Continued from page 1)
Will he be able to receive as tho-
rough an education as he wants or
needs? Will he be able to devote
his entire time to study after all?
person joining the army, serving
his hitch, and then coming back
to college does not have to worry
about that problem. He can then
devote his entire time to college
life without ROTC, and receive GI
benefits besides”.
Anoiher big reason given for
joining the army first lies in this
train of thought — “If I join the
army, serve a couple of years, and
then come back, I should know
more about what I want in life and
what I should take in college to
obtain it.” There is sound reason-
ing behind that statement. Not
only will a person be more mature,
but he will have seen more of life
and knows, or should know, what
he wants from it. Joining the army
first will give a person a chance
to find his likes and dislikes.
These are some of the pros and
cons on this question.. Now I
would like to sum it up and give
you my opinion.
If joining the army first is such
a good deal, why isn’t everyone
doing it? I came to this conclusion.
College is the foundation for a bet-
ter life. The earlier a person starts
building this foundation, the bet-
ter will be the life that rests upon
it. Sure, a person may have every
intention of coming back and
starting college, but what if he
finds some cute little number and
marries her? What will her reac-
tion be? Will she feel left out
while her husband becomes bet-
ter educated than she? Will her
husband begin to find faults with
her that he overlooked before?
Then there is always the prob-
lem of supporting a family if an
ex-army man enters college. It’s
not easy to put yourself through
school, let alone support a family.
Then too, are you sure you want
to mature in the army? Army life
is not the easiest, and it may make
a person toughened to life, where-
as college life lets you mature
while becoming better prepared
for the life that awaits you.
As for finding your likes and
dislikes, college lets you choose
and re-choose as you wish, but in
the army, you take what is given
and like it. If you like the army,
and decide to make a career of it,
without a college education or
something similar, you stand very
little chance of making an office*;.

A panel discussion in observa-
tion of National Education Week
v/as given in Homeroom 128 by
Sally Chance, Monte Hasie, Tom-
my Selby, Max Macon, and Gail
Owens.
Members of Thalian Theater
were initiated Nov. 9 in the cafe-
teria. The pledges had make-up
put on their faces and then each
. gave an impersonation.
In accordance with National Ed-
ucation Week, Homeroom 238 had
a program on education Wednes-
day. David Byrd reported on the
subject “The Meaning of Educa-
tion,” and Judy Hart talked on
“The Importance of Education.”
Linda Medders and Gail West-
morland teamed up to give Home-
rooms X7 and 111 an accordian
duet. Numbers played were “The
World is Waitirig for the Sunrise,”
“Whispering,” and their own ver-
sion of “At Sundown.”
Kids, we are slowly but surely
becoming desperate. The informa-
tion of club activities is not com-
ing in early enough to give an ad-
vance. Everything is becoming old
stuff. Remember to turn your news,
in to Room 137 by Monday after-
noon. On second thought, why not:
right after your club meetings?
Home room 192 had a get-
acquainted party last Thursday.
Most of the members were there
and Preston Smith ai'ranged for
them all to see “White Christmas”,..
The VIC Club chapter 95 had a
Bar B Que at K. N. Klapp Party
house last night. Employers and
their wives were guests of their
employees.
El Club Pan Americano held a
rummage sale Saturday at a ser-
vice station on the Idalou high-

pay for a scholarship given by the
club each year.
