COSMETICS FIRST FLOOR
CLUBLICITY
14 Jakes Initiated By Quill And Scroll
"Humilaiin" for the 14 jakes
and “hilarious” for the old mem-
bers were activities of jakes,
otherwise known as pledges of
Quill and Scroll, performed Mon-
day during the meeting of that
club and Monday evening, “Jake
night.” Each jake was required
to recite an original poem, to
provide the program during the
club meeting, to provide the food
and entertainment for Jake night,
and to dress in an unusual cos-
tume: Jake night, held in the
home of Shirley Marion, was the
conclusion of pledging activities;
but the jakes will not be members
until the initiation banquet Wed-
nesday.
Dropping solid blocks through
a metal lid without putting a hole
in it and cleaning dirty silks in
an empty soap box were only
two of the unusual tricks per-
formed by a Chinese magician to
highlight a dinner given by jun-
iors of room 310, sponsored by
Mrs. Emmett Burford. for the
graduating seniors. Darwin Hol-
der, president, gave the invoca-
tion and acted as master of cere-
monies. Shirley Coffee, senior
read the class will; and Reba
Brewer, junior, read the pro-
phecy. Concluding the dinner, the
group sang the “Weterner Call to
Loyalty,” led by Peggy Pugh.
Members of homeroom 250 and
their guests attended a hambur-
ger fry at McKenzie park April
3. Rexell Smallin, social chair-
man, was in charge of activities;
and Mr. and Mrs. G. C. Gray
sponsored the party.
Forty-five members and fathers
attended the annual Hi-Y father-
son banquet in the cafeteria Mon-
day evening. Fred Johnston, new
secretary of the local YMCA,
spoke on “Prospective Program
for the YMCA.”
With decorations following the
spring theme, La Trezieme Mus-
ique held its annual semi-formal
banquet and social last Friday
evening in the Hilton hotel and
band hall with approximately
sixty-five members and guests
attending. Those appearing in the
program dealing with the past,
present, and future were as fol-
lows: Robin Huff, Nina Smith,
Charlotte Woodard, Nancy John-
ston, Jolene Darnall, Beth Burk-
halter, Jeanneane Cailloux, Bruce
Willis, Joyce Portwood, Barbara
Connally, Jo Posey, and Lynda
Young.
“It’s hard to teach safety be-
cause we hate to take advice, but
I wish I could make each of you
understand the seriousness of
auto driving,” emphasized Mr.
Lynn Andrews, city planning and
traffic engineer, in an assembly
sponsored by the Citizens’ Traffic
commission Monday morning.
Mr. Andrews went on to ex-
plain during his speech that “Lots
of times we feel we are good dri-
vers when we drive at an excess-
ive rate of speed and not kill any-
one. That is wrong!”
Safely Facts Given
With large posters showing ex-
amples of dangerous intersections
in Lubbock for a background
the city engineer stated that in
the last ten years or fifteen years,
more people have been killed in
auto wrecks than in all American
wars. “You may not believe it,”
said the man with the southern
accent, “but out of 5,000 tests
taken among high school stu-
dents, it was learned that a car
going 20 miles per hour takes 45
feet to stop, and an auto going 30
miles per hour takes 75 feet to
£2^.” JEr. Andrews went on to
e'S^iain that the rate increased
greatly with the increase of speed,
and when a car is going 60 miles
per hour, it takes 280 feet to stop
it. This is under best driving con-
ditions.
Warns Students
Mr. Andrews concluded his
program by warning the students
of intersections with no stop
signs, for 80 percent of Lub-
bock’s accidents happened at
these types of intersections. The
audience roared in a laughing
close when the city engineer gave
his upinion on reckless drivers.
“The only thing spinning your
wheels proves is that you have a
leg muscle strong enough to put
your foot down on the foot feed.
It also donates a weak upstairs.

Westerners Blank
Big Spring 10-0
Lanky Glenn Webb became
ihe firs! Westerner pitcher of
the season to hurl a shut out
as the Cookmen blasted the
Big Spring Steers 10 to 0 in a
conference battle at Chapman
field Tuesday afternoon.
Webb held the visitors
completely in check until the
last frame. A circus catch by
fielder Tommy Miers saved
the day for Webb at that
time.
Twelve errors by the visit-
ors, five walks by pitcher
Charlie Rose, and three runs
scored apiece by fielders Ray
Weed and James Solly ac-
counted for most of the home
team's scoring. Randall Rei-
ger, Hulen rfaley, Johnny
Tatum, and Bo Sexton scored
the remaining Westerner tal-
lies.
The Steers were able to
gain only four base-knocks-
off Webb while the Plains-
men pounded out nine hits.
Seventeen Westerners saw
action in their fourth straight
district win. The Cookmen
now have a record of seven,
wins and one loss.
DELICIOUS!
That's what you'll
say when you've
eaten one of our
sandwiches.
