Poll Reveals Spending
Tere Vasquez is a student at
LHS who has done something
that everybody wishes to do at
one time or another. She has left
her family in Guadalajara,
Jalisco, Mexico, to come to the
United States to study.
Tere has always wanted to
visit the U.S. and now she is
living here. This summer, the
Ramirez family from Lubbock
stayed at her home and they
discussed the possibility of her
coming to live with them here.
Her dream became a reality
when she was allowed to move
here two months ago.
The mural painting on the
wall behind the student council
booth in the cafeteria is liked by
some; disliked by others. The
mural shows how the past
Lubbock High School developed
into the present school building.
THE FIRST LHS was a jail
house in 1891. In 1923 it was
where Carroll Thompson Jr.
High is today.

Scholastic Test
Taken Saturday
By ’73 Seniors
Scholastic Aptitude Tests
were given Saturday for all
seniors who were interested.
The 26 students that took the
test at LHS were under the
supervision of Mr. Young, junior
counselor.
The SAT test is given because
some colleges require the scores
of this before admittance to the
college. Results of the student’s
scores take approximately six
weeks to be returned to the
students.
The next date for the SAT test
will be March 3. Each student
must sign up for this test by Jan.
25. Achievement test also will be
administered on this date.
Tere is classified as a
sophomore this year, but will
have enough credits at the end
of next year to graduate. When
asked how she liked Lubbock
High, she laughed and said, “I
love it! This school is so much
larger than the ones I attended
in Mexico. There is an
opportunity to meet more people
here.”
She also pointed out that
for the past three years she has
gone to all girl schools and is
now enjoying the mixed
company.
Lubbock High impresses
this sophomore very much. At
her old school in Mexico, the
(cont. on page 3)
from the senior class of 1952,
was painted by Mrs. Glenn
Smith.
IN 1949, Mr. Horace Gore
painted the wall hanging which
is now on the left side wall of the
mural. It later was moved when
the mural was painted. The
hanging was a gift to the school
from the senior class of 1949.
The mural faded, but a senior
student of 1967, Debi Caffee,
restored it to its present clarity.

Money—do you ever have
enough of that green paper? Or
when you do have it, does it
seem to disappear right out of
your hand? A recent survey was
made, using 32 boys and girls
from each of the sophomore,
junior and senior classes of
Lubbock High School inquiring
about money matters.
In the sophomore class, six
out of sixteen boys reported
spending $5 weekly, while three
stated they spent $20. The
remaining seven spent $2.50 a
week. Four lower-class girls
wrote on their survey that $5
was their spending limit, while
three other girls reported $10
was theirs. One dollar to $30
were amounts being spent by
the rest of the girls.
The junior boys broke even,
with three saying they spent $10
and three more saying $15. Five
dollars and $12 were the next
Tired of doing the same old
thing? Kelly Taylor lives life to
its fullest, and so can you. Kelly
calfropes, rides bulls, and is
learning to ride broncs. He is a
member of the American Junior
Rodeo Association, a group of
40-50 high school students of
Lubbock.
Kelly's father taught
him at an early age the art of
calfroping and Kelly has
received many ribbons, medals,
and also cash prizes. As a
matter of fact, the young Walt
Garrison earned $600 last
summer calfroping at various
rodeos in the United States. He
finished fifth in the nation, a
title which Kelly is very proud
amounts being spent with two
boys for each amount. The
lowest quantity was $3 and $30
the highest total being spent by
the remaining six boys. Five
junior girls reported spending
$10 weekly, with three girls each
saying they spent $5 and $7.
Eleven dollars was the highest
quantity recorded being spent
and $3 the lowest amonth the
middle-class girls.
Out of sixteen senior boys,
five said they spent $5 weekly,
with $7, $10, and $15 each
having two boys. The five males
left over spent from $3 to $22.
Female upper classmen spent
from $2 to $60 a week. Three
reported spending $5, while two
people each informed the survey
that they spent $10, $25, and
$30.
Where does all of this money
disappear? Food rated first

Kelly tried bull riding and is
enjoying it, too. Kelly
participated in the Amarillo
Rodeo, Nov. 2-4, and is looking
forward to all of the upcoming
rodeos throughout the state this
winter.
When he gets up enough
courage, Kelly is going to

gas second, clothing third and
car expenses fourth. Money
spent on dates and cosmetics
was also very high. The
students stated that they spent
an excessive amount of money
on football games, foosball,
records and posters.
Where does this spending
money come from? Many
students reported that their
parents and jobs helped their
financial status. Thirty-three
boys answered that they had
jobs, as do 15 girls. Sixty-five
students informed the poll that
they received money from their
parents, while seven simply
stated odd jobs, loans being paid
back and Social Security
checks.
Inflation keeps the value of
the dollar down and that means
a person needs more money.
Where does all that money go in
a week, month or year?
