Westerners, Pampa To Meet Saturday In Finals
SPORTSMANSHIP - THEN VICTORY
VOLUME 15
Lubbock Senior High School, Lubbock, Texas, Friday, February 18, 1949
NUMBER 19
Above are some of the small things around the school that need
repairing or replacement. The first picture on the right hand side of
the page shows a seat uprooted from the floor in room 133, the next
picture from the right shows plaster off the wall in room 252, the
picture at the top left hand corner of the page shows the broken
light fixture to the right of the main entrance of the school with the
glass out and even an old bird nest in it, and the bottom picture
shows the broken pencil sharpener in room 301. Let’s get these fixed
and make our school more attractive and pleasant.
Senior Play To Feature
High Silk Hats and Frills
Costumes for the senior play,
“Great Expectations,” require
much thought and time for this
1840 drama. This is one of the
few costume plays to be present-
ed in Lubbock Senior High school
and it is the first real one in the
last few years.
The ladies and girls of this 1840
period were characterized by
their extensive use of ornaments
in jewelry. Muttons of lace and
frilly parasols, combined with
sunshades and poke bonnets,
tend to feature the fashions of
that time. The hats were of varied
types and were favored by most
young married women ana otn-
ers over a certain age, with that
age being very uncertain.
Skirts 3 Yards Wide
Skirts were of long flowing
length with widths of 3 yards,
but most of the time 4. The
lengths, being according to age,
were floor length for older wom-
en. The younger set’s were quite
daring, often ankle length or
sometimes even as high as the
top of their shoes! .
Blouses were the off-the-shoul-
der type, which gave the ladies
a chance to show off their acces-
sories.
A wide range of colors in soft
browns, tans, greys, blues and
greens were featured in men’s
dress. Their trousers were one
color with coats a contrasting
color. The coats were the cut-
away type and featured the
“Prince Albert” style. High silk
hats, walking canes, and bright
brocaded vests also characterized
the typical man.
Huge watch fobs were worn by
the young men, along with high,
white-wing collars and huge
black bows for neckwear.
Starched, pleated, frilly, tucked
shirts, and heavy "capes for top-
coats adorned the men of Eng-
land in 1840.
Students Attend
Debate Tournament
Six students and Mr. J. W.
Reid, debate coach, are attending

sponsored by Baylor university,
in Waco today.
Attending are Mary Duggan
and Pat Mullin, girls’ team; and

Baylor university sponsors this
tournament each year for high
schools in Texas. Scholarships to
Baylor and trophies are awarded
the winners, although this is only
a practice tournament.
Teams must be ready to debate
negative or affirmative on the
question “Should Texas increase
severance tax on their natural
resources?” All teams are debat-
ing on the same question.

their names. Miss Padley would
like to emphasize that any girl
interested in attending Cottey
college, whether sophomore, ju-
nior or senior, should talk to her.
