The schools Of California are not nearly as nice as Lubbock High School but
m®y^e ,tS because LHS is my hometown school. I attend Salinas Union High School
which has an enrollment of over 2,000 students. It is built similar to LHS and has
chimes that ring every 15 minutes.
The honor system is not practiced here. As for no teachers in study halls we don’t

Entertainment Suggested
For City’s Young People
Question: Some of Lubbock’s young
people often complain of nothing t0 do
except perhaps go to the shows. What
form of entertainment would you like for
Lubbock to have? Why?
Joyce Vaught, junior: I think Lubbock
has almost every form of entertainment
that a teenager could ask for.
Of course the movies are the most
common place to go because it takes the
least effort. Most of the young people who
gripe about not having any place to go
are just too lazy to get there.
Bowling, swimming, stage shows, rec-
reation parks, and miniature golf are just
a few of the many activities found here.
I think we could use another youth cen-
ter; and if I had my choice, that’s what
it would be.
Marilyn
Donna Beth
Joyce
Bill
Bill Welborn, junior: There are not
many forms of entertainment here in
which all young people can take part. I
think a teen-town should be organized by
the Chamber of Commerce or a group of
local businessmen strictly for the benefit
of Lubbock’s teenagers. A swimming pool,
dance floor, snackbar, bowling alley, and
game facilities should be included in
this teen-town.
Marilyn Ivey, sophomore: I feel that
Lubbock doesn’t have enough variety in
the few things it provides for its teens to
do. For instance, an ice skating rink
would be a different and challenging ex-
perience for the youth of our city.
I also believe that if the teenage popu-
lafion conduct themselves as ladies and
gentlemen, this would improve the pos-
sibilities of future entertainment facili-
ties,
Donna Beth Dunn, senior: In my opin-
ion, an ice skating rink would be a won-
derful type of entertainment for Lubbock
to have.
We do have quite a few places t0 go
and things to do, but we get tired of go-
ing to the same places all the time. There
are, however, actually more forms of
entertainment here than we sometimes
realize.
Jerry Seymour, sophomore: Actually
I believe that this town is a little short
of interesting things for its teenager to
do. I think most of the boys would like
to have more sponsored drag races and
auto shows.
Perhaps if there were more sponsored
clubs with teenage interest, there would
be more parties and other activities in
which we could participate.
Jerry
Stanley
Stanley Mitchell, senior: During the
football and basketball seasons there al-
ways seems to be many parties and ac-
tivities to attend. That is, if everyone
takes part in the planned activities.
After this festive season full of sports
and parties there is plenty of- things to
keep you busy if you place yourself in
a position to participate.
Vocational Agriculture Includes
Projects, Theory, Lab Practice
Vocational agriculture, a three-year
credit course at Lubbock High School,
jdeals primarily with the practical appli-
■^°n of farm theory in teaching our fu-
farmers of America.
■jcedure at chapter meetings
■g other things unnecessary
■rm work are also included
and
for ac-
in the
course. Theory classes and lab periods at
the school farm put theory into prac-
tice.
Various leadership and judging teams
require good English and the ability to
speak clearly and well. Surveying and
bookkeeping on individual projects re-
quire a great deal of math knowledge.
Fireman Gives Demonstration
Of Eggs Fried Over Ice Block
Eggs fried in a skillet over a large
block of ice brought astonishment to eyes
of the chemistry and applied science stu-
dents last week.
Liquid oxygen, so cold that even ice
seems hot in comparison, was provided
for this experiment conducted by Cap-
tain Robert Davis of the Lubbock Fire
Department during Fire Prevention Week.
Demonstrations of spontaneous com-
bustion and fire extinguishing concluded
a unit of study by chemistry and applied
science students.
Over two hundred students looked on
as Captain Davis explained how to ex-
tinguish the different types of fire. Oxy-
gen, fuel, and heat, the three factors es-
sential for a fire to begin, were points
also brought out in the demonstrations.
Properties of oxygen as a gas and as a
liquid were observed.
The chemistry course at Lubbock High
School is designed to teach the practi-
cal and theoretical applications of chem-
istry to students planning either to enters m
college or the business world. *

Elf Excited Over Who s Who,
Senior Carnival, Play, Game
Howdy Westerners!
I was really excited when I saw the
beautiful WHO’S WHO after they came
out last week. The publicity and infor-
mation committee should really be com-
mended for an excellent job.
I am glad to hear that there is now a
Student Council stamp of approval that
must go on all posters that go up in the
halls. This will mean that only the very
best posters will go up and will prevent
a lot of unnecessary posters from being
in the halls. And Westerners, I’ve noticed
several of you going around marking up
the posters. This ruins the poster, and it
also ruins a lot of hard work that went
into the making of the poster. If each one
of you had to make just one poster and
realize the hard work and time that go
into it, Wes Nur believes that you would
think twice before you would mark a pos-
ter in the hall. Keep that in mind..
“The Little Witch,” the first Children’s
Theater play, will be presented Oct. 22
and 23. It was written by the speech di-
rector, Mr. Paul Black. I have been sneak-
ing in during rehearsals and watching
from my favorite light on my favorite
chandelier. The play is very enjoyable.
Westerners, let’s work on improving
our sportsmanship. I have overheard sev-
eral of the students in the halls discus-
sing the fact that Lubbock High’s sports-
manship has fallen down. This school has
always been known for its fine sports-
manship; and I know if you will try a
little harder, it will be the same as it
has been in the past. Remember our mot-
to Sportsmanship, then victory.”

on
If every now and then you hear strains
of music coming from the music room
or auditorium and see some of the choir
students running around looking complete-
ly exhausted, it is just a sign that work
on the annual operetta has begun. This
year the choir, under the direction
Mrs. Everett Carver, is putting
“Naughty Marietta.” It is really going to
be good from what I’ve overheard.
Tonight the Westerners play the Bor-
ger Bulldogs at Jones Stadium. Uncle
Wes wants all of you to be at the game
cheering the Westerners on to victory.
LET’S GET A BULLDOG!!
P.S. Lavinrac Renretsew is only eight
days away. Save your pennies!
