Guidance Representatives
'To Attend School Banquet
Here at last is what Lubbock High school has needed for a long time
—a school officers’ banquet at which everyone is represented. Plans now
being made for the banquet indicate that for almost the first time,, guid-
ance representatives are to attend an affair of this sort.
In order to really tackle school problems and accomplish anything,
the viewpoints of many people must be given. Maiiy students in this
school do noit belong to any clubs; perhaps they’re new here and don’t
know about them. Every student, however, has his place in a guidance
group. When drives of any sort a»e attempted, authorities appeal to
the guidance for cooperation. Thus it is only right /that these groups
should be reipresenteed at such a banquet.
There are many school problems that concern everyone. At the pro-
posed dinner these points would be brought out and discussd. Students
attending would consult the people they represtnt and find out their opin-
ions so that a true picture of the situation could be given.
This banquet is a-big step foreward in the development of our high
school, because when people meet to discuss qustions or problems they
become more united in their desire for a better school. Guidances and
iclasses will be strengthened by this plan if the student body backs it.
Lulbbock as a city is growing. Will its high school make equal progress?

Cross-Town Talk
By Malcolm Burkett
Evidently the guys and gals
around school are still war-mind-
ed, since they storm the depart-
ment stores to get a battle jacket;
boy those jackets are really snazzy.
One of our larger deparmen't
stores must be going Western; we
noticed in one of their windows a
man in a black suit of Western
clothing. Boy! The suit- is really a
pip.
Say, those red caps that some
merchants have really are going
fast- Among the fads this year, lit-
tle red oaps will be well towards
Ithe top of the list. Other hard to
get items are slipper-shoes which
many boys are wearing now. Any
stores getting a supply of them in
will probably need an armed guard
to keep customers under control.
It is sitill a close-guarded secret,
but gossip has it that those fellas
whose radios won’t pick anything
up but electricity may soon be able
to ge a new noise.
Also being released now are larg-
er supplies of camera film. Some/
boys who have had o carry out-of-
date pictures of their girls, which
are almost as aged as tintype photo-
graphs, may now get new ones. (No,
the girls aren’t aged, that was re-
fesrring to the pictures.)
Well, let’s hope that last crack
doesn’t break up too many friend-
ships.

ners. How are your talking ways?
Lucky you, if your telephone tech-
nique is smooth!
Out of the World’s Fair of 1989-
40 there was a gadget on which
you could record your voice and
then play back the record to hear
how you sounded. It’s a shame
all of Us couldn’/t have had a go
at the instrument—the results were
quite a shock to most people- It
would have taught us to keep the
whine out of our voices.
By the way, I’d like for you to
take notes in class today on some
of the rules of conversation via
telephone.
The thing to remember about
talking on the phone is that you’re
literally wired for sound, and it
isn’t necessary to cover the dis-
tance between you and the other
half of the conversation by lung
,power. A moderate, controlled way
of speaking will go a long way
Shrieking is out-of-date, and so is
the whisper no one hears.
When you’re making a call, the
first rule of the line is to state
lyour business promptly, the pri-
mary item of which is who you
are. The “guess-who” pests deserve
to be hung—at least hung up on.
The second rule of knowing how
to talk on the telephone is know-
ing when to stop. You may be
set for a four-hour session, but
what about your victims? Could
be you’re putting them on thee
spot! Besides, remember the oth-
er members of the family and par-
ity-line. With a little forethought you
can get together with your friends
and carry on many of your talks
in person, much to everybody else’s
advantage.
The long talk is not always your
fault, you say? By rights, the one
who makes the call should be the
one to end it- Still, sometimes you
as a receiver may have to wind
up a long-winded situation. Call
forth your tact and see how smooth-
ly you can wiggle out from under
the wire.
Next in the rules—whom to call.
By the same reasoning that you
won’t make your calls longer than
necessary, you won’t make any more
calls than necessary. You know
best when you really have to give
or ask information that rates a
phone call—that is, you know best
if you remember the phone is not a
itoy. So if you work on the princi-
ple of calling only When you have
something to ask or say, there’s no
difference whether you’re calling
a girl or a boy. Girls, if you phone

Want to be a slick chick? Date

a drip. Maybe these hints to the
wise will be sufficient.
Here you go walking down the
hall. Oh! There he is, strolling
along with a couple of his pals.
What do you do? Run up and gush
over him or ignore him and make
him think you don’t care the least
for him? You needn’t be a Flirty
Gert or a Snooty Sal to win your
ideal. Just be natural; be friendly.
Perhaps you have heard the old
saying:
Don’t be flat.
Don’t be sharp.
But always be natural.
The telephone rings; you make
a mad dash to get there before any-
one else- Then you calmly pick up
the receiver and slowly drawl “Hel-
lo.” It’s him; he asks you for a
date. And what do you answer?
iHard-to-get or over anxious (type?

over the phone is just as important

thinking this approach is any more
cunning than chasing him down
Main street. And what girl in her
right mind would do that?
And then, finally, when to call.
There’s no denying that the tele-
phone is a great invention, but it’s
noisy. Just try to think if you
would b waking anyone—a sick
person or a baby-
Certainly, anyone who can talk
can talk over the phone. But that
doesn’t mean everyone can do it
well. Sit down and figure your score

Meet *JAe Siacutty.
Are you proud of the Westerner
basketball team. If so, you should be
equally proud of the man that is
coaching such a great little team—
Coach Marlin B. “Shorty” Hayhurst-
Besides being head coach of the
Westerner basketball team, Mr. Hay-
hurst also coaches the Cowhands’
Gild football team, is head track
coach for L. H. S'., and teaches phy-
sical education -classes.
Coach Hayhurst graduated from
Texas Tech in 1929, and since then
he has taught school in Brownfield,
MlcCamey, and Semionole. He and
his family, which consists of his
wife and Jimmy and Jerry, his two
sons, came to Lubbock on January
3, 1944 and have been here since
then.
“Just to make a living for my
wife and children,” Coach’s only re-
ply as to what his plans for the fut-
ture were- Tis favorite pastime is
to get out in the country.
Coach is well-liked around school
by the students and by members of
the teams he coaches- He strives to
have a winning team because, as he
says, “Every one loves a winner.”
So, students, nexjt time you’re
yelling for one of Coach Hayhurst’s
teams, put a little extra volume in-
to the yell for one of the best
coaches that ever hit L. H. S.
