National Thespians All-American Rating
Fete At Banquet Awarded To Paper
National Thespian society met
Tuesday night to fete at their an-
nual spring banquet at the can-
dlelit Yaqui room of the Hilton
hotel. Mr. P. M. Larson, director
of the Texas Tech speech depart-
ment, spoke at the affair
on his trip to New York City, es-
pecially highlighting his visits to
the theater there.
Preceding Mr. Larson’s speech,
new club members Betty Doris
Hamilton and Gwen Wiley enter-
tained the group. Sponsor of the
Thespians, which are scheduled
to elect next year’s officers Wed-
nesday, is Mr. D. M. Howell.
Approximately thirty-five at-
tended the occasion, which was
presided over by club president,
Milton Beach. Individual lace-
trimmed hand masks served as
favors.
“All-American,” superior, rat-
ing was given the fall semester
issues of the WESTERNER
WORLD, by the National Scho-
lastic Press Association at the
University of Minnesota recently.
Among the papers in the same
classification there were only
five in the nation who received
this highest rating. The Wester-
ner World was classified with
commercially printed weekly
newspapers from schools having
an enrollment of 1400 to 1999.
Some of the comments made
by the judges were “bright sports
page, excellent use of pictures in
the Westerner World, and excell-
ent original cartoons.”
Ruth Breazeale is editor of the
paper and Mrs. Dick Cozby, spon-
sor. The other staff members
were the same the first semester

“Our faculty can do anything.”
This is a statement often uttered
by the disillusioned students of
Lubbock Senior High, and as in
the past, the faculty proved that
statement by turning from digni-
fied teachers into all sorts of
nursery rhyme characters.
Yes, you guessed it, this was
our faculty assembly in the form
of “Mother Goose Land.” Mrs.
Frank Hayne, English teacher,
did an about face and became Old
Mother Goose. She taught all
her children, including Old Moth-
er “Bessie Bullock” Hubbard; her
dog, Mrs. Mary Francis Camp-
bell; her dog’s bone, Mrs. Virgin-
ia Adams; Miss Claudia Neeley,
the cupboard; and many others.
McCliniock Is "Georgie Porgie"
“I’d Like To Be A Cowboy,”
“Little Boy Blue,” and “I Know
Something Good About You”
were poems given by Mrs. Lois
Marie Keeton. Miss Clark and
Miss Linioel Hilliard were prin-
cesses for the day.
Mr. and Mrs. A. D. McClintock
made the students “cry” in their
roles as “Georgie Porgie and His
Girl.”
“You name it. . .You can’t beat
our faculty. . .They are the best.”
These were the statements mur-
mured through out as “Little Boy
‘Pinky Lowrey’ Blue” came out
on the stage in short blue pants
to blow his horn.
Landwer Is "Miss Muffei’'
Little Miss “Virginia Landwer”
Muffet, biology teacher, got a
spider for her lab when a spider
sat down beside her.
Other entertainers included
Old King “H. J. McCabe” Cole
with his “fiddlers three,” Mr. W.
C. Watts, Mr. Maurice Fite, and
Mr. Paul C. Bowie, and Simple
“Coach Floyd” Simon with Pet-
er Peter “N. J. Robnett” Pump-
kin Eater and many others.
Others taking part in the pro-
gram were Mr. Lester Nabors,
Mr. Frank Hayne, Mr. Rogers
Orr, Mr. G. C. Gray, Miss Laur-
ene Bussey, Mr. Leon Batchelor,
Mrs. W. I. Pittman, Mrs. Mary
Wilson, and Mrs. R. P. Johnson.
The art classes did the stage work.
Fifteen Lubbock Senior High
school students are in Austin to-

ell, sponsor, and Mr. and Mrs.

Gilbert and Sullivan's immortal "Mikado" lyrics will be
Westernerized tonight in the gym at 7:30, when the physical
education department joins forces with the Student council in
presenting the final all-school party of the year under the ban-
ner of a May-day theme with a story-book ball.
In this curtain-call affair of the season, the P. E. department
will put on the show with the crowning of the king and queen
of May as the highlight. Admission is free, and refreshments
will be on sale in the cage.
The program starts as Alice, played by Barbara Sanders,
drowsily falls asleep after reading a story book, and the Sand-
man, enacted by Zoe Merriman, dances her into lullaby-land.
Then there is a dance of the elves, followed by the regal coron-
_______ ation of the king and queen.
