Westerners And Sandies
Tangle In Amarillo Tonight
Amarillo’s Golden Sandstorms cur- Coach T. G. Hull’s protege’s
rerutly leading the district 1-AA
'race, will be host to the Lubbock
Westerner tonight in the second
game of the play off series.
The Westerners dropped a close
31 to 26 decision to Amarillo last
Tuesday at Lubbock and must win
tonight to stay in the running.
Should a third game be necessary
it will be played at the high school
armory in Amarillo tomorrow
night. j
Last Tuesday’s win gave the
Sandy city a two to one edge in
tilts between the two schools, Lub-
bock dropping a close one there
earlier in the season, 35 to 31, and
then blowing the sandstorm back
doiwn here, 45-27.
showed a much improved club last
Tuesday. The Sandies displayed a
smooth offense and tight defense
against the somewhat erratic play
of the Westerners. Amarillo, play-
ing in their own back yard, will
be favored to take the Westerners,
but not many bets are being taken
either way.
Coach Hull will probably start
his usual regulars, Seale, Sasser,
Carroll, Pickens, and Carter.
Coach Marlin Hayhurst is ex-
pected to give the nod to his regu-
lars, Verdel Turner at center, Don .
Finley and Gerald Davis at for-
wards, and Jimmy Clark and Jack
Alderson at guards.

regular intervals to carry on this
project.
Other projects discussed in re-

Returned Veterans Think
Lubbock High Is Super
Veterans, no not those same men while J. L. and Kenneth thought
that have marched in our parades
for all these years; but boys who are
our own age, or near it, have re-
turned to settle down and be stu-
dents just like the rest of us.
There are eleven of these World
War II veterans who think that
L. H. S. is really a “super” school.
Three of the boys have not yet
returned to school, but out of the
eight interviewed J. L. Kinsley,
Kenneth Gordon, Charles Harvey,
Trtiy Lawrence, Andy Hogan, Ger-
ald Howard, Teddy Mac Smith, and
Ed Austin; it was found that they
all have been overseas.
The length of service varied from
four years to fourteen months.
When asked which subjects, they
wished they had studied harder,
math and English rated first. Most
of the vets intend to go to college
and the larger percentage favor-
ing Texas Tech.
Very few vets would like to see
any changes made in Lubbock High.
Andy thought there ought to be
more courses in vocational training,
there ought to be some new cours-
es offered.
“What do I like about school?”
asked J. L., “Well, I guess just
being here.” Charles Harvey ap-
preciates school more after being
ba/ek while Ed Austin likes the stu-
dents. Tom Mac Smith jokingly
replied “Gettin’ out in the after-
noon” and Andy Hogan remarked
that it took his mind off of other
things.
Some of the vets found school
much harder since they’re back but
J. L. Hinsley and Andy Hogan
find it easier. Gerald Howard finds
hchool “just about the same.”
All the veterans agree that the
students of L. H. S. are very friend-
ly and have a lot of school spirit.
As Ed Austin puts it, “the Ameri-
cans are the best students in the
world.”
The students of Lubbock High
school are just as glad to have the
war veterans back as they are to
be back and we hope they’re here
to stay permanently.
Father-Son Banquet
Will Be Given
The annual Hi-Y Father-Son
banquet is to be March 21. Accord-
ing to present plans, it is to be

ris, president, and the response by
Mr. Harry Morris, George’s father.
Elmer Tarbox is to be the main
speaker. A group of Hi-Y boys will
sing some musical numbers.
The group-is also planning a date
party to be held in the gym, if
is is available, March 5. Joe Hplmes
will direct the games.

ton to practice with a certain Dr.
Brand, who charges fifty dollars

Bob’s fiance, knows this and re-
fuses to marry him unless he de-
cides to practice at home. Everyone
else does his part to mix the sit-
uation up, including Pa, who al-
ways says the wrong thing at the
wrong time, and Helen, Dr. Brand’s
daughter, who is trying to get Bob.

Voice Slightly Gruff
In Mrs. Bradshaw’s fifth period
applied science class, Miss Irene
Armes, a substitute, was calling
the roll. When she called “Marie
Wilson,” a gruff voice in the back
of the room answered, “here.”
It seems that the name was Mar-
vin, not M'arie.
