Hamilton, Girl Of Month;
Carpenter, Jr. Rotarian
Joyce Hamilton has been chosen
girl of the month for January, on
-a basis of scholarship, leadership,
character and ability.
Joyce, holding membership in
Y-Teens, Mary Emma’s and
T.N.T., at the present time is ac-
tive in school activities.
Proof of Joyce’s leadership
ability is the fact that the mem-
bers of her Sunday school class
elected her for their president for
this year and she was also elected
to head the Mary Emma Club.
She was a member of N.H.S.
in 1947 and of Thespians in 1946-
47. Outside of her club work,
Joyce is secretary of her home-
room this semester and was vice-
president last semester. She is
also guidance representative to
the student council and serves on
the courtesy committee.
Since Joyce is very interested
in homemaking, it isn’t unusual
that she has done outstanding
work in that field. She was pre-
sented the Junior Homemaker’s
degree and was named a chapter
Homemaker.
Some of Joyce’s close friends
say that she is worthy of receiv-
ing the honor given her.
George Carpenter, senior, has
been selected as the Junior Ro-
tarian for the month of February,
announced Mr. E. J. “Pinky”
Lowrey, athletic director.
George has been in the Melvil
Dewey club, library club, since
he was a sophomore. He played
on the Cowhands when he was a
sophomore, was a member of the
Westerner football squad when
he was a junior, and was one of
the Westerner football managers
last season. In both his sophomore
anc^ his junior years, he went out
for track.
In his sophomore year George
was a member of the Westerner
“B” basketball team. When he
was a junior, George became a
member of the “L” Association
of Lubbock Senior High school,
and has continued his member-
ship through his senior year.
“George is an intelligent, hard-
working boy,” stated Mrs. R. T.
Groves, head librarian,” and has
been invaluable and dependable
in his work in the library.”

Preparations are in full swing
for the third annual Westerner
Round-Up, which is one of the
most eagerly anticipated occa-
sions in L.H.S. On the day of the
Round-Up, students and some
teachers dress in Western attire.
The occasion is climaxed by a
program in the auditorium that
night, at which time the Round-
Up favorites and guidance favo-
rites will be presented, and a
party will be held in the gym-
nasium. Students who enter the
song, poetry or poster contests
must submit their entries by

The Student council approved
the band concert and urged all
students to support the band as
well as the athletic teams. The
council asked Mr. Floyd Honey,
principal, to request the school
board to provide a new piano for
the auditorium.
Continued In Homerooms
Pop Groves was explaining
questions to be given on a test to
his 2:40 o’clock algebra 32 class.
