It’s All Up To Everybody;
Don’t Forget School Spirit
YYltet TAe 3iacu£ty
Say fellas! Do you remember that article in the paper two weeks ago
that described the lack of school spirit in L. H. S.?
Perhaps some of you were surprised at this, but did you realize itmight
be true?
What are you filling to do about it? Do you want your school to rank
first when people think of sports, scholastic work and school spirit, too?
All we lack is just a little more pep displayed in backing our school’s
entries in sports, scholastics, and just the general attitude the stud-
ent body has.
Are you willing to co-operate? Will you put a little into your activities?
Some people have said you don’t have what it takes to back all these
statements up. But we know, and you know that you can and will follow
through and show those people that you do have school spirit.
What say, let’s get in there and make those people change their minds!
Well—now, we’ve had our say, it’s all up to you! !

Westerners—
Show how much you think of the
Westerner basketballers ' by wear-
ing a basketball tag.
Scarves, scarves, any kind of
scarves! Miss Gertrude Watson,
friendly and understanding home-
making teacher, has a mania for the
gay pieces of material. Usually
dressed in tailored suits and dress-
es, she enjoys having a scarf tucked
in at her neck.
Miss Watson, an old-timer at L.
H. S- known for her dry, good hum-
or, helped to organize the Mary-Em-
ma club in 1927. A sponsor of this
club up to last year, when she could
not participate because of illness,
she is again one of the advisors.
“All girls should study homemak-
ing in their high school years, even
if they plan careers outside of mar-
riage. Some of the most successful
combinations of high school majors
have been commercial courses and
homemaking. Anyone who studies
homemaking) will find it useful in
every walk of life,” states Miss Wat-
son concerning the subject she
teaches.
Pottery collecting is her favorite
hobby, but she claims her greatest
pleasure at school is to see her stu-
dents develop from year to year.
Ranch House Rumors
In Carnegie Hall, the audience
sits in spellbound wonder as Carol-
yn Cole, renouned concert pianist,
finishes a recital of her own com-v
position. ' .
One person in the audience is
more amazed than the others be-
cause he is a former student at Lub-
bock High school and he has recog-
nized the now-famous Miss Cole as
one of his classmates of 1946.
He rushes backstage and while he
is waiting to be allowed to see the
star, he remembers Carolyn Cole as
he knew her.
The first he knew about her was
that she the talented blonde-headed
girl who played the piano in assem-
bly.
When he became acquainted with
her, he learned that the grey-eyed
girl liked steaks, the color blue, and
song “There’s No |You.” Les
Brown’s band ranked first on her
list. Out of a schedule of debate,
physics, applied English, shorthand,
and A Cappella, she preferred short-
hand, but Mrs. R. B. Luker, history
instructor, ranked tops on her fac-
ulty list-
“To receive letters—just stacks of
’em” was the thing that pleased her
most. “Friendliness of the stud-
ents and everyone knowing every-
one else” made her like L. H. S.
Carolyn’s secret ambition was “to
own a bookshop so I could read all
the books I want to without return-
ing them when they were due.” Her
one wish was to live in a penthouse
in New York, working on some phase
of music, radio, or the concert stage.
“Miss Cole will see you now,” an-
nounced an usher. As the ex-West-
erner went in he wondered if he
would find Carolyn changed, but he
knew that fundamentally, Carolyn
Cole would always be a wonderful
person with millions of friends.
Meaow! Meaow!
Maud is talking to Mable, “Did
you hear about the awful fright Geo-
rge got on his wedding day?”
“Oh, yes; I was there. I saw
her.”

In the year'2010 when Pat AUgood
is an old grey-haired lady of eighty,
she will probably sit in her rocking
chair and remember her senior year
in" Lubbock High school- After the.
manner of elderly ladies “Grand-
mother” Pat closes her eyes and in
dreams is once again in L. H. S.
“{This is the swellest high school
in Texas with some of the nicest
people I’ve ever known going here.
That includes the teachers. There’s
just one thing though—we could
use a lot mor^.school spirit.”
Taking bookkeeping, annual art,
pub office, English, American his-
tory, and mechanical drawing keeps
Pat pretty busy but she has time to
be senior class vice-president, guid-
ance president, Girl Reserve treas-
urer, and Art club secretary.
This black-haired glirl, who has
loads of friends, spends a great deal
of time playing her many records.
Two of her favorites are “It’s Been
a Long, Long Time” and Chickery
Chick.” Besides records, Patricia
Gae (her “horrible handle”) likes
potatoes (any form or fashion),
fried okra, art—especially cartoon-
ing, the colors blue and chartreuse,
and people with a sense of humor.
The things she’d rather do with-
out are conceited people, castor oil,
hominy, dyed hair, and most of her
annual pictures. (Ughhhh!)
Her thoughts are filled with see-
ing the Westerners beat Amarillo
someday, visions of HIM, and some-
day being a really “super duper”
cartoonist or commercial artist.
“Grandmother” Pat wakes up
with a start as a helicopter settles
gracefully on the flying ramp out-
side her window. “Grandson” must
be home from school.
lS)ay! What’s going on here? If
there’s one person who doesn’t fit
the part of an old lady, it’s Pat All-
good- Brimming over with energy,
fun, and friendliness, Pat is more
like an ideal Westerner. In fact
that’s what she is.

Symphony
Symphony, symphony of love
Music from above, how does it start?
You walk in and the song begins
Singing violins start in my heart.
Then you speak, the melody seems to rise
Then you sigh, it sighs and it softly dies,
Symphony, sing to me,
Then we kiss and it’s clear to me
When you're near to me, you are my symp-
hony,
My symphony!
