THE WESTERNER WORLD
Friday, October 2. 1964
Long awaited relief—in the form of a fourth high school—is now in sight for the over-
extended facilities of Lubbock and Monterey high schools.
CORONADO High School, located at 34th and Vicksburg Ave., is set to open its doors
next tall. However, the new school will have some initial problems.
Only one phase of the building, the classrooms and laboratories, will be ready for
occupancy when the first students arrive. This will force a
rather unique apprcach to several student activities-;—especially
in the field of athletics.
JUNIOR AND senior students on athletic teams at LHS
and MHS will have an option of either going to the new school or
staying at their present school. All sophomore athletes living in
the new zone will go to Coronado.
The decision by student athletes would have to be made prior to spring training this
May in the case of football. Students in other sports could make their choice at the begin-
ning of the 1965-66 school year.
CORONADO will play a regular "B" team schedule the first year, but the next year
they will play a varsity 4-A schedule.
School board members felt that the advantages to this plan included:
^ • MORALE at Lubbock and Monterey Highs will continue by delaying the complete
athletic division until such time as the division will be advantageous to all three schools.
2. School morale would not suffer from an almost certain loss record the first year
in 4-A competition.
3. PROBABLY the greatest advantage is the school morale factor involved in getting
an almost complete program of school-work and activities underway at one time.
Boundary lines tentatively being considered are from Quaker Avenue south to 42nd
Street, east to Knoxville Avenue, north on Knoxville to Clovis Highway and west on Clovis to
the school district line.
CORONADO'S administrative offices, library and auditorium will be ready by mid-
term. By the end of the '65-'66 school year, gyms, field house, music department and
cafeteria will be ready for use.
Information on administrative appointments and the faculty is not available as yet.
When the principal is selected, he will organize the student council and other departments of
the school.
AFTER long discussion by the school board on the names for the school, the final
vote favored Coronado, a Spanish explorer who, in search of the “Seven Cities of Cibola," is
said to have wandered across the Texas Plains in 1951. Other names which were suggested
include Sam Houston, San Jacinto, Singer and Estacado.
According to Mr. Jack Klapp, director of audio visual and public relations, first plans
for the school were elaborate with ideas for everything from a small theatre separate from the
auditorium to escalators. But after the architect's estimates came back, the plans were
modified. However, one of the remaining conveniences will be air conditioning throughout
the building.
COMBINING LHS and MHS, it will be interesting to see how Coronado turns out.

US Elections
Involve Teens
- by ROSE DUNCAN -
“Come on, try; just one more nickel.”
This is just one of the various sounds
heard by many Westerners this week as
they tour the grounds of the South Plains
Fair clad in long coats and rain caps.
IT WOULD be interesting to know how
many dimes, nickels, pennies and dollars
are spent by one person trying to win a
stuffed teddy bear or big dog. I’ve heard
the best way to win is to get a handful
of nickels and throw them all at once.
For those of you who have the last dol-
lar to spend, there is always the rides,
cotton candy (mmm), hot dogs, corn on the
cob and other things and places to spend
your “extra money.”
AFTER 8:30 tonight you will be unable
to see the main attraction of the Ice Cap-
ades. The annual event began last Sun-
day at 3:30 with three performances daily.
See you at the fair tonight!

TEENS as well as adults are in the
presidential election. By bolstering their
services, they usually find themselves stuf-
fing envelopes, making campaign signs,
distributing literature and organizing fund
raising projects.
They are also helping in this presiden-
tial election by supporting either the
Young Democrats or the Teenage Repub-
licans.

IT HAS been said that everyone has a
look-alike in the world. This has been
found true of both presidential candidates,
Lyndon Johnson and Barry Goldwater.
Johnson’s look-alike is a general sales
manager for a car dealer in Columbus,
Ohio. Goldwater’s “twin” is a beauty op-
erator in Cleveland, Ohio.
Have you found your “twin?”
Teen Talk
Homeroom Representation Equalized By New Class Councils
*r
BY TERESA VOYLES
Class council representatives were chos-
en by a new system last spring and this
fall which may or may not prove to be
better than past elections. Six students
expressed their ideas on the change.
ALICE PHINNY, junior. “In my opinion
this year’s system is more effective than
last year’s for various reasons. The first
is that each homeroom
this year is equally rep-
resented. In the past
years, I feel that many
representatives were
chosen for popularity’s
sake rather than their
ability to lead. This year
each room has elected
its two best leaders, so
that they will be in-
formed on how our
school projects are corn-
system helps the sopho-
mores, in particular, to prepare themselves
for a place as school leaders. By electing
representatives under this system, you not
only elect the popular people, but natural
leaders.”
LARRY SLATER, junior. “I believe
this new system of electing class council
representatives is more effective than the
old system. Every year the number of
ALICE
along. This
sophomores increases; and consequently,
this class would have
more voice in the stu-
dent government under
the old system. Un-
der the new system,
the class council repre-
sentatives are elected by
their homerooms which
elect four girls and four
boys from the class
council to serve on the
ASC. Then the ASC has
LARRY the same number of rep-
resentatives from each class, thus giving
equal voice in the ASC. Under this new
system more equal rights are given to all
students of LHS.”
BEAUCHAMP, sophomore. “I
think that there has been
a definite improvement
made with the new sys-
tem of election. A rep-
resentative is not really
qualified unless he is
chosen by those he is
to represent. I. think
he is better qual-
ified because the home-
rooms chose the mem-
bers they wanted on the
council instead of the
DAYE whole class.”

Experimental San Antonio 'Youth
Judges Students Violating Traffic Laws
BY CARREN GLOVER
“You need to take a bath!” remarked a
playful student to Japanese foreign stu-
dent Kazchun Mihara in Robert E. Lee
High School, San Antonio. At least this
was the Japanese interpretation of the
words “New York.” Her frown changed
to a grin, however, when the American
added “Ohio” which in Japanese means
“good morning.”

TEENAGERS ARE constantly complain-
ing that the “older generation” just doesn’t
understand them; not so in San Antonio.
At Robert E. Lee High, students have had
their wish come true with a “youth jury”
judging their traffic violations and hand-
ing down sentences. The six-man tribunal
judges classmates in a corporation court.
“Although the idea is new and in the
experimental statge, city officials instruct
teenage jurists exactly as adults and offer
them the same responsibilities,’
the Bugle Call.
reports
GLORIA PERRY, senior. “In my onin-
ion the new system of election of class
council representatives will prove to be
more effective before
this year is over. It
gives each person a bet-
ter chance to express his
or her idea to the ASC.
Also this size of the
ASC has been reduced,
which enables the coun-
cil to get more things
done for the school. Un-
der the old system, there
were so many people in
GLORIA the ASC that it was hard
to find out the opinion of everyone on a
specific idea.”
MAC MILLER, senior. “I feel the new
system is more effective. I agree that
the new system is better mainly because
^ all of the homerooms
are equally represented.
This helps keep each
class well informed on
activities. Last year
some people never knew
what was going on be-
cause they didn’t have
a representative in their
homerooms. This new
system guarantees that
every homeroom has
someone in it to inform
them of these activities, thus giving our
school a much better governing system.”
MAC
EVER FEEL like taking a day off from
school? At Plainview, Kansas, students
who maintain a “C” average and have per-
fect attendance are given a one-day va-
cation at the end of the year.

“They’re here!” shouted excited seniors
in Pampa High School, Pampa, on Aug. 24.
“They” refers to senior rings. Senior stu-
dents there get their rings the summer be-
fore the “big” year.

THE MECHANIZATION age has finally
come to at least part of the school systems.
In Hillcrest High School, Dallas, instead
of the grind of assigning students to teach-
ers, the administrative staff did “approxi-
mately 400 man-hours of scheduling in
three hours by using IBM computers.
