Road’ Set Thursday
At 1:15 p.m. Thursday, the J. Tamarack Gargle Players,
Company, Incorporated, Corporated—an old-fashioned travel-
ing company with a modern flair—will invade LHS as this year's
exchange assembly.
THE THEME OF the old mellerdrammer, to be titled "To-
baccy Road—With Detours" or "Dirty Work at the Cross
roads," will be the old story of the villain threatening to cancel
the mortgage if the heroine doesn't marry him.
"In order to relieve the audience's tension created by the
tremendous 'dramatic experience,' the company will present
intermission acts including several entertaining performances
by members of the company," comments Mr. Knox Williams,
student activities director.
THE FIVE cast members are Don Henry, the villain, Butrum
Oleander; Vicki White, the heroine, Constant Hope; Johnny
Walker, the hero, Manly Rash; Janie Tripp, Aunt Lucybell; and
. Sam Henry, Uncle Mortimer.
Carley Clark, J. Tamarack Gargle, will be the managing
owner of the "dramatic" group. The Intermission Acts in-
clude Jack Watson, Pris Blankenship and Bonnie Stephenson,
who will sing solos; Benny McCorkle and Dale Pearcy, folk song;
and Rob Adair, saxophone solo.
GUDRUN LINDSKOG, foreign exchange student, will per-
form a Swedish dance with Jay Stanley. Linda Lewis will join
them with an accordion. Later, Montye Keene and Sandy
O'Neal will present scenes from the Charlie Chaplain Comedy
Era to the tune of "Sweet Georgia Brown."

Veep Positions
Alisan Turner and Brenda Cur-
bo have been moved up to the
ranks of sophomore vice-presi-
dents. The announcement was
made during the All-School Coun-
cil meeting last Monday.
A new delegate was selected to
attend the Texas Association of
Student Councils Convention in
Houston March 19-21. Jackie Man-
ning will replace one of the girls
previously elected. Mr. Howard
Price, principal, and Gudrun Lind-
skog, foreign exchange student,
will accompany the group as spec-
ial guests.
During the period for new busi-
ness, the Council discussed the
election, requirements and meth-
ods of paying expenses for the
Rough Rider elections. A lengthy
discussion followed, but nothing
definite was decided.
Johnny Walker, senior class
president, was recently elected by
the state Optimist Clubs to receive
the Troy V. Post Award, desig-
nating him the Young Texan-of-
the-Month for January.
HE IS THE first LHS student
to receive this honor during the
three years that Lubbock Optimist
Clubs have participated in the pro-
gram.
The Monterey Optimist Club,
the group that nominated him,
will present Johnny a plaque,
a $100 engraved wrist watch and
key chain at a banquet next Mon-

will be one scholarship for $2,000
and two for $1,000.
The selection for Young Texan-
of-the-Month was made by a panel
headed by the United States Su-
preme Court Justice Tom C. Clark.
THE NEWS release of Johnny’s
selection came from Dallas and
was broadcast throughout Texas.

An era ended at LHS as the
hand which had guided students
through the mysteries of mathe-
matics for 24 years wrote on the
blackboard, “My thoughts have al-
ways been for the welfare of my
students, and that is why I am re-
signing. I love each of you, Miss
McCarty.”
"MERE WORDS will never ex-
press the many wonderful mo-
ments of 24 years of teaching at
Lubbock,” comments Miss Aline
McCarty. For her the thrill of
teaching came in seeing the suc-
cess of her students. And it is to
the modest, yet sincere, teacher
that many owe their success.
Perhaps one of the biggest hon-
ors was the dedication of the 1962
Black and Gold Westerner annual.
THOSE PRESENT will always
remember the thunderous ap-
plause and the standing ovation
the respected teacher had truly
earned.
Nor will words ever say what
each person who worked with Miss
McCarty received from her. To
every person she gave a part of
herself. And in so fine a person
one would find strength, under-
standing, encouragement and “that
special touch.”
"NEVER IN my life have I had
the pleasure of working with a
teacher so representative of every-
thing fine and good that the pro-
fession embodies^
“Never have I found combined
so compatibly the love of teach-
ing, the knowledge of subject and
the warmth of personality that
commands both love and respect
from every student,” wrote one
student.
TO WESTERNERS she wrote:
“As most of you, perhaps know,
I resigned Jan. 23 from my
position as a mathematics teacher
in Lubbock High School. The de-
"AND THEN THEY CALLED MY NAME . . . "—Taking lime to turn
through the 1962 Black and Gold WESTERNER dedicated to her.

periences of her 24 years at LHS. The mathematics instructor resign-

cision to leave the classroom was
the most difficult one I have ever
made.
“For 24 years I have always
tried to give my very best to my
school work here. My work and
association with all Westerners has
been a source of great happiness
and satisfaction. No words are
adequate to express my deep ap-
preciation for all the warm friend-
ships, the cooperation, and the un-
derstanding given me through
these years by all of you—the ad-
ministration, the faculty members,
the students and the custodians.
"MY RESIGNATION does not
mean that I am severing my ties
with Lubbock High School, for I
shall always be ready to help a
fellow Westerner in any way that
I can.
“My thoughts will always be
with you, I wish for Lubbock High
School success in each endeavor,
and I wish each of my students the
very best that life has to offer.”
FOR 24 YEARS she taught at
LHS. It will not be in error to say
that truly a warm, wonderful era
has ended for Lubbock High.
Yet the saying “Once a West-
erner, always a Westerner” will
hold true for Miss McCarty. She
will always be a Westerner—in
her heart, and in otirs.
