1200 Students Attend
Panamerican Fiesta
Over twelve hundred enthusiastic Spanish students, many color-
fully garbed in the costumes so familiar to Mexico, braved the wet
weather Saturday to attend the Second Annual Panamerican Fiesta.
At least 250 were there from the Lubbock’s junior and senior high
schools.
Registration began at 9 o’clock in the Tech museum, where the
crowd thronged to visit the Spanish Entrada exhibit, which told of
Spanish exploration in this region. The building also housed the
miniature fiesta scene built by
the first year L.H.S. classes and
posters from all over the Latin R0gan JQ Narrate

Americas.
A variety show was given in
shifts in order to accommodate
the throng in the Aggie auditor-
ium in the morning. The jarabe
tapatio, L.H.S.’s contribution, was
given by a number of the girls
taking Spanish here.
In the afternoon the junior high
duchesses, the senior high prin-
cesses, and the , college royal
princesses were introduced at the
Tech gym. Charlene Starr re-
presented Carol Thompson Jun-
ior high; Patti Hill, J. T. Hutch-
inson; Eugenia Terrell, O. L. Sla-
ton; Elizabeth Mitchell, Lubbock
Senior high; and Betty Jane
Quinlan, Texas Tech. Grace Mel-
endez of Eastern New Mexico
college was chosen Fiesta queen.
The Tech band also played for
the occasion, and medals were a-
warded for the most typical and
beautiful costumes and for the
essay confess. Rosemary Sprague
received a first place medal for
her essay on “My City,” and Mar-
garet Ann Garlin receiver one for
hers on “Cervantes.” Foreign born
students were also introduced,
and singing and dancing were of-
fered by various groups.
After these numbers were pre-
sented, a mercado was held under
Jones stadium.
Musicians Guild club will pre-
sent “Backstage at the Circus”
in assembly next week.
“Backstage at the Circus” will
show the different kinds of ani-
mals and people who are in the
circus. Those taking part in the
program are Ned Hardin and his
piccolo, Maurice Fawcett, Ted
Simon, Louis Ward who charms
Laura Lou Bailey in her snake
dance and Rosemary Sprague who
has a seal act.
“Bill Rogan will be the nar-
rator” stated Gerre Hancock,
president of the club.
A man was born April 23, 1564
and 52 years later he died on the
date of that memorable birth.
Who was he? Why, you have
studied him several times. He’s a
fellow they called William Shake-
speare.
This unusual fellow has often
been the topic of discussion here
in L. H. S.—especially by students
studying some difficult play by
this poetic genius. Back in the
early ‘30’s—oh, around 1933—
there was quite a bit of discussion
about him from the seniors. But
they didn’t say the same things
about him that you say—things
in a rumbling undertone that
can’t be repeated. No, they spoke
of him with excitement as they
eagerly did much research in his
age, the Elizabethan years.
Junior Play
(Continued from page 1)
Frank Ford plays Stephan
Ranes, who has absolutely every-
thing that could be desired by a
high school boy. He’s wealthy,
popular, captain of the basketball
team, a straight A student, and
also object of Debbie’s affections.
Next week you’ll be able to
acquaint yourself with Toots,
Buddy, Junior Salad, Aunt Isabel,
and Principal Whittaker.
So, now, you think they must
have been crazy. Well, you’re
right; they were crazy with joy
and lightheartedness. You see, it’s
this way! Miss Dorothy Lomax
and Miss Grace Padley were the
senior English teachers at that
time. One day they put their
heads together—which is al-
ways dangerous for teachers to
do—and came up with a startling
suggestion. “Why not let the sen-
iors, as a culminating activity for
the Elizabethan age, have a real
Shakespearian banquet?”
In such procedures brilliant
ideas are born, and they had a
gem of a one! They presented the
idea to the students, who with
grasping hands,. jumped at such
welcome relief.
The banquet was solely a stud-
ent project. They did all the plan-
National Thespian
Society Initiates
Pledges At Hotel
Nine pledges were formally
initiated into the National Thes-
pian society St a banquet Mon-
day night at the Hilton hotel.
The formal initiation followed a
pledge program and several hi-
jinks conferred on the pledges by
the old members, who numbered
about twenty at the affair.
The banquet was presided over
by Kenneth Owen, club presi-
dent; the invocation was given
by Palmer June Anderson, sec-
retary; welcome was given by
Frances Roth, vice-president; and
the formal initiation was conferr-
ed by the above mentioned and
Joyce Rendall, treasurer, and Mr.
D. M. Howell, sponsor.
Pledges were Mary Duggan,
Dorothy Yates, Mona Powell,
Jimmy Nix, Faye Pruitt, Eliza-
beth Mitchell, Booth Robbins,
Barbara Sanders, and Theola
Leonard.

ning and research for it. Bedeck-
er in Sheakespearian costumes,
the students entered the home-
making department in a festive
occasion. The department served
the meal. Lady Macbeth in her
sleep walking scene from the play
“Macbeth” was usually seen
strolling about the room.
To reign over the affair, the
students elected a Queen Eliza-
beth. She was escorted by Sir
Walter Raleigh, another student
chosen by the seniors.
Arranged about “the board” ac-
cording to dress—either “above
or below the salt”—students
would literally dig into»the roast
foul, using only the silverware of
that age. Practically none at all
was used. A menu typical of the
Sixteenth century with similar
favors, was the basis of the meal.
For the program students would
play music, such as was found in
that age, and give dramatizations
from a Shakespearian play. And,
of course, a court fool—jester to
you—highlighted the events with
his jokes.
Seniors were only able to have
the events for two or three years.
“We had to end the banquets be-
cause it was difficult to find any-
one to serve the meals,” stressed
Miss Lomax. “It was too hard on
the homemaking department to
have to do the job, and we want-
ed to have it at school.”
Thus a dream began—and end-
ed. But now, with the spacious
cafeteria L. H. S. has, this dream
could perhaps be started again.
What do you think? Would you
support the project?
