Techsans Plan Mass Exit
To Beaches After Finals
The merry month of May
includes Mother's Day,
final examinations, the end
of a long school year, and
a migration. Come the end
of final exams the students
of Lamar Tech flock to the
sea, salt, sand, and suds.
The inevitible lure of the
sun acts with electro-
magnetic force as students
take time only to heave a
deep sigh of relief after
finals are completed.
This never has been an
entirely organized affair,
but has been, in the past,
a m ore or less impulsive
event, with stu.dents
leaving shortly after their
last fjinal exam and arriv-
ing, not knowing where they
are going to stay, and wnat
they are going to do, and
most important, what kind

Lamar Students Recruiting Members
For Newly-Formed Spirit Organization
An organization formed ‘
for prom otion of school
spirit was recently intro-

taking the name "Cards."

nothing is ever repeated.
The majority of the fun-
s e ekers usually aim their
cars or thumbs toward
Gilchrist although many
don't ever get there for
one reason or another.
Some stop in High Island,
while others, after a few
r e f r e shment breaks, .■ end
up in El Paso. However,
the latter is not often the
case, for the beach is
usually crowded with
hundreds of Techsans,
some not recognizable,
others not, wanting to be
recognized.
Apparel is only one pair
of Bermuda shorts, a
bathing suit, and the
proverbial "church key”--

be r s , the group plans {o
back Lamar’s endeavors
in all areas of athletics,
according to presiding
officer Kenneth Clark.
Charter members are
now r ecruiting members
for next year, and planning
primary activities for
football season. As a unit
they will attend athletic
mefets to boost general
school spirit and promote
interest.
The name Cards has
a s s umed a dual meaning,
Young Democrats Endorse Slate;

tions to the Democratic
Party."
Succeeding James Brous1

Lamar Young Democrats
is Gene Feigelson. Brous-

Huff, representative to the
house.

sho/rt form of Cardinals,
and a catchy name for
officers. The president,
for instance, is not known
assuch, but as club Ace.
An intermediate period in
which prospective mem-
bers must memorize fight
songs , school songs and
yells is known as "Chip-
ship".

emphasized that this is not
a social fraternity, and
membership from each
school organization is
limited to four. Members
are recruited by invitation
only , and are restricted
t o those students who are
honestly interested in
Lamar. Through this, the
organization hopes to
achieve a complete cross-
Section of campus thought,
and will include indepen-
dents, members of depart-
mental and honor fraterni-
ties, as well as social
fraternities.

as "Spades" are Bill
Worsham (King), Tom
O liphant, Jack Windlow,
