Merry Mix-Ups
By Mitchell and McClatchy
This the annual junior edition of the Western World, and is a “pure
product” of junior work. Any similarity to other editions is purely-Ahh
accidental!! Hurrah for the juniors!!
Lucy West is going with David Leaverton most of the time and think-
ing of him the rest of the time.
Bobby Anne Tubbs baked a small “anniversary” cake for Patsy
Felty and Royce Ellison last Wednesday. They had been going steady
a month.
Ben Wilson and Jack Mills are giving each other some competition
concerning Blanche Reed.
A guy that takes his time but gets the job done around school is
Van “Sad ISack” White.
The off and on couple: Mary Frances Settle and Wilbur Leon.
Some people have said that Shirley Farley would really make a swell
poet.
Second period study hall just couldn’t get along without Gene James,
alias “Peabody,” and his harmonica.
Dwain Parrack has an unusual ability in art. He sketches things that
he is familiar with when he has nothing else to do. In other words ho
draws instead of piddling.
The motion has been made and seconded that Glenn Denny and
Betty Jo Tyson would make a cute couple.
Giggle-box of the junior class: Jane McCoy.
Margaret Fariss is one of the fastest things in school lately. Boy, that
gal can run! (Must get it from “Dingy” Davis!)
Helen Simpson seems to enjoy being with Gene Chetty.
The “guys” who have been calling Mary Lee Royalty certainly don’t
have “telephone technique,” bcause so far their identities are secret,
Seen together lately:—Bill Stevens—Lynn Marie Ryan, Bluddy Miller—
Sue Evans, Bob Swain—Athalene Allen, Joe Stubbs—Elva Fay Haynes,
Burton Burks—Mary Beth Stewart.
The tall and short of it all: Don Holton and Geneva McLain.
Wonder why Jitm Johnson doesn’t give any of his admirers a tumble??
Junior Jane—Billye Jo Stephens.
Evryone is commenting on “The Westerner Fight Song,” written
by Mr. Lewis Stoelzing, band director. “Boy, it’s realty solid.”
Junior Jack—Bill Carter.
We’ve heard that Joy Jones yells louder than any other girl at pep
rallies and ball games.

From The Billboard
By Eugenia Luker
Better wake up, all you Senior
Susies and Sophomore Sams. We
Junior Jeans and Joes are really
trying to win the contest between
the classes for the best class edi-
tion of ye old Weserner World.
Out Hollywood way, ’tis rumor-
ed that Van Johnson has turned to
crooning in his latest pic. All Van
and singing, too! We’re anxious to
hear the Van fans swoon, now.
For all you long-haired fans, two
musical shows winning great ap-
plause on the Great White Way at
the present are Jerome Kern’s
“Show Boat,” written from Edna
Ferber’s famous novel of the same
(name, and George Gershwin’s well
loved folk opera, “Porgy and Bess.”
That’s all the news this week. I’ll
be back with more news from the
billboard after the sophs get
through tossing thee W. W. off the
press.
Mind Your Manners
By Peggy McClatchy
Class, we’re going on a shopping
trip today. Tuck a bit of courtesy
in with that cash, and you’ll find
shopping’s fun for all.
‘iThe customer is always right,”
storekeepers are saying again—at
least in public. However, the cus-
tomer is often far fram right, ei-
ther in attitude or manners-
Let’s start at he front door of a
department store and work up. Those
“ins” and “outs” on the doors are
silent police and just as much to
be obeyed as real live ones. Dis-
obey them, and you’ll get into a traf-
fic jam that will make you an un-
popular character.
When you’ve tracked down the de-
partment you want, of course, you’ll
wait your turn politely. “Shove and
the world shoves with you!”
If you know exactly what you
want, tell the salesgirl the color,
size, and approximate price. How-
ever, if you don’t know the price,
don’t be embarrassed if it is more
than you can afford to pay. Don’t
try to bluff your way by letting the
salesgirl go on showing you .things
you can’t buy, and then try to get
out of it by saying you don’t like the
things she’s shown you.
If you can’t make up your mind
right away, take your time and ask
the salesgirl if she wouldn’t like to
wait on someone else while you de-
cide-
Speaking of buying, stores usual-
ly don’t mind your looking and
browsing around. Probably the more
people look the more they will buy.
However, they will feel less kind-
ly toward you if you handle the
wares- Everyone tu,n>s “butter-
fingered* a.c sometime.
Once you’ve paid for your pur-
chase, a simple “tha,nk-you” will
repair a salesgirl*’ temper and will
make you a nicer person.
See ya’ at town!

“That a way, Dick, boy, that Dick Sch-
midt can really play basketball.”
“That’s not Dick, you dope, that’s
Bob.”
“Aw, you’re crazy, Bob played foot- |
ball.”
“Naw, Dick does.”
i§Pf| Such are the remarks at every foot-
ball or basketball game. The Schmidt twins, two of the outstanding ath-
letes in Lubbock high, are always being mixed up.
'Though they look alike, they are as different as black and white.
Practically the only thing they have in common is sports and friends.
Jack Alderson, the Wilson twins, Sam Davis and Jim Johnson are tops
with them and any kind of food just disappears when they’re around. They
tmake the same grades but like different subjects. Bob goes for math but
Dick picks history as his favorite. In sports they can’t agree which is
best. Bob was the high scorer of the “B” team this year and it was his
playing that usually put the Westerners in he lead.
Dick, however, played left eend on the football team and scored the
first touchdown against Amarillo for Lubbock in four years.
But no matter how the twins themselves feel, Lubbock high will agree
on one thing, the Schmidts’ are tops.

JUNIOR JAMBOREE
By Helen Simpson
A* Junior Jack and Jill were
walking down the hall the other
day, they decided to evesdrop on
gome of the classes.
(The first one they went to was
Mrs. Luker’s fourth period class.
The class had been studying the
(presidents of the U. S- They were
talking about President Wilson. Mrs.
Luker said to Brentie Sue Thomp-
son, “Name one important measure
under Wilson.”
“Well, one was that he got the
zone for Guadalcanal. Wasn't it?”
Of course, the answer was Panama

Canal Zone.
Slowly the boy and girl came to
a speech class. As they peered in-
to the room, they saw James Bat-
son talking to Jayne Webb. Jack
and Jill came closer so they could
get a better view of what went
on. It seems that James had been
teasing Jayne and had taken an
admit slip which he thought was
Jayne’s. He politely tore it in half.
After piecing it together, he notic-
ed that it was his own. (Guess
Jimmy will be more careful next
time to see whose slip he is tear-
ing)
Junior Jack and Jill came to the
library, which was their destination.
They needed to look up some words.
'The first word was “myth.” They
'didn’t notice what kind of diction-
ary they got but this is the “daffy-
nition.” “A myth is a female moth.”
After copying it down, hesitantly
'they looked up “chivalry.” “Chiv-
alry is what you feel when you are
cold.” By now they knew some-
thing was wrong so they looked
up the word “junior.” The “daf-
fynition” for that was “A junior
is a person lower in standing or in
rank.” Junior Jack and Jill simply
wouldn’t stand for this for they
knew that the junior class of 194G
was the best junior class ever in
L. H. S.
