EVERY LITTLE BIT HELPS—Pitching in to aid in the collection of
money for CROP, Gussey Thompson gives Jim Holmes a donation for
the annual Christian Rural Overseas Program fund drive, which will

Teens Collect For CROP
Beginning tomorrow evening at 6:30 approximately 500
teenagers will begin their "trick or treat" campaign for CROP
(Christian Rural Overseas Program) and UNICEF (United Na-
tions Children's Emergency Fund). The primary purpose of the
drive is to provide assistance—high protein foods, emergency
supplies, agricultural tools and seeds—not otherwise available
to the overseas program of churches.
TEENS COLLECTING for CROP and UNICEF will wear
arm bands to identify themselves and will carry a CROP can for
the collected money. The money will be divided between the
two organizations.
UNICEF's portion will go for work in the field of health,
nutrition, education and vocational training, and family and
child welfare. More than 1 10 countries receive milk, vitamins,
medicine and vaccine each year.
Advanced Carnival Tickets Go On Sale
CROP CONTRIBUTIONS will provide for handling and dis-
tribution of government donated foods in the "Food for Peace"
program. Last year over $57,000 was collected for CROP and
the overseas programs of the various churches. This helped to
provide 98,267,600 pounds of government donated food and
other shipments not otherwise available for overseas ministry.
Officers heading the campaign are Mike Brown, president
and zoning manager; John Climber, vice president; and Connie
Bridgeman, secretary.

Some sophomore and junior
Linda Kerr
BY BRENDA BAXLEY
“Take things as they happen,
and don’t worry about the past or
future.” This is the philosophy of
Linda Kerr, October’s Teen-of-the
Month.
LINDA'S PAST is marked with
various awards, accomplishments
and experiences. During her ninth
grade year at Smylie Wilson
Junior High, she was named, a
Teen-of-the-Month and was listed
in Wilson’s Hall of Fame. She was
also elected ninth grade head
cheerleader.
Past accomplishments during her
sophomore year at LHS included
being selected as a class vice-pres-
ident and working on the Wester-
ner yearbook. She was named to
the Sophomore Who’s Who as a re-
sult of her efforts.
"KERR." as friends call her,
since there are so many “Lindas,”
spent last summer at her parent’s
lodge in Colorado on the Conejos
River near Alamosa. The honoree
exclaims that she “loves the
mountains” and really enjoys go-
ing there.
homerooms will be given a “sneak
preview” of the carnival Nov.
9-10.
"WE URGE everyone to buy
tickets for the carnival since it
will not be limited to any age
group,” comments Ronnie. “Tic-
kets will also be sold to some of
the junior highs and at MHS.”
Sheri Malone and Sandra James
are in charge of the tickets while
Frank McWilliams and Susan Rey-
nolds are in charge of publicity.
Adela Arellano, Ronnie and. Bill
Glazner are in charge of the
carnival.
EACH SENIOR homeroom has
Presently Linda is serving as
Junior Class Secretary, secretary
of her homeroom, co-editor of the
junior section of the yearbook, yet
been assigned a booth to operate
at the carnival; members of each
booth’s assignments are working
Saturday mornings until carnival
day to get ready. A prize of $5 will
be awarded to the best decorated
booth, and all bills for the affair
will be paid for by the Student
Council.
Individual homerooms have al-
ready begun turning in lists of
materials needed for their booth.
"PROCEEDS, as in the past, will
go toward the purchase of a sen-
ior gift to the school at the? end
of this year,” Ronnie concludes.
she still finds time to make good
grades.
IN BETWEEN “Kerr’s” many
school activities she finds time for
The establishment of a self-eval-
uation committee was the chief
topic of Monday’s ASC meeting. A
committee headed by Barbara Dur-
ham, junior, was appointed last
week to investigate the initiation
several hobbies. Perhaps her most
interesting is collecting sweatshirts
from colleges, universities and
academies. Her collection now
boasts eight. She also enjoys horse-
back riding, swimming and taking
care of her toy fo:: terrior which
she describes as a “little, fat but-
terball.”
Aside from her school activities
and hobbies, the honoree is a mem-
ber of Tri-Hi-Y and the Cotillion
Dance Club.
EVEN THOUGH she does have
plans for the future, she holds true
to her philosophy and does not
worry about them. She plans to
teach history after graduation from
Texas Tech or Colorado State Uni-
versity, at Fort Collins, Colorado.
“Linda is one of the most out-
standing Westerners at LHS. Not
only is she polite, courteous and
mature, but also cooperative,
willing to work and always goes
beyond what is expected of her.
I’ve known her since the seventh
grade and she has always been an
outstanding member of her respec-
tive class. What else can I say?”
commented Mr. Ronnie Robertson,
junior counselor.
of this committee. Composed, of
five ASC members who will be
named by Pres. Keeton Zachary,
the organization would be a stand-
ing committee which would report
any criticism or comments they
feel necessary concerning ASC ac-
tivities and meetings.
FRANK McWILLIAMS. co-head
of the Buddy Committee, announc-
ed the addition of a “Buddy Cor-
ner” to the Student Council bulle-
tin board. The corner will have
pictures and articles on new stu-
dents at LHS.
Anyone interested in working on
Roundup should attend the regu-
larly-scheduled Recreation Com-
mittee meetings every Tuesday at
8 a.m., according to chairman San-
dy O’Neal.
A LIST was made of all ASC
members attending Coronado High
next year, so that they may help
in planning the new high school’s
government system.
Explaining why he accepted the
principal’s position at Coronado
for next year, Prin. Howard Price
said that having opened a grade
school and two junior highs, h e
felt it was a privilege and honor
to open the new high school, but
added, “I don’t want to leave Lub-
bock High School.”
MR. PRICE also apologized for
his concern that LHS students
would stage a “car-cram.” He men-
tioned that while we would com-
pete in “football, debate or mar-
bles,” we have better things to do
than cram cars.

and beauty all go hand in hand as she attempts to saunter up the
