THE WESTERNER WORLD
Friday, March 16, 1951
r
‘Scy-lwe
by Ruth Breazeale
“If at first you don’t succeed . . . try
reading the directions” is one of the
most pertinent suggestions we’ve heard
recently. There is certainly more
truth than poetry in this brief philos-
ophy.
FOILED AGAIN
We are now forced to admit that we
were wrong. (Did we hear someone
say “just as usual”?) Contrary to
previous speculation, the football jack-
ets did arrive before summer set in.
In fact, last Friday’s icicles provided a
wonderful background for the black
and gold. We LIKE ’em, especially the
“Texas” on each left sleeve.
HOLIDAYS
Westerners cannot legally complain
about the holiday situation these days.
We are enjoying a four-day school
week last week, next week and the one
following. A three - four ratio isn’t
bad in this business of receiving an
education, is it? However, shorter
work weeks are a definite disadvantage
i n producing our WESTERNER
WORLD. For this reason, we now an-
nounce that you may expect a “mid-
get” edition next week.
SEE ...
We hope that you are planning to
see “Mr. Barry’s Etchings” tonight if
you didn’t see it last night. It’s a
great play ... as is the class the cast
comes from. Of course, they say that
every senior class is the BEST, so you
who aren’t members of the class of
1951 still have your chance.
“HI"' IDEAS
We received some wonderful ideas
at the Abilene Hi-Y conference last
week-end. One speaker, who has
spent a quarter of a century in “Y”
- work in the Philippine islands, made
a particular impression on us. He
emphasized the idea of “one world,”
stating that boys and girls in Japan
today are closer to us than were the
boys and girls of Dallas a century ago.
Largely through the work of Christians
laboring there, he said that the stature
of the average male Filipino has in-
crased two inches in the past 25 years.
Until recently, they knew little of
“sports,” but today they are a sports-
minded people. Within a given period,
more volleyballs were sold there than
in the United States.

Proving that they can sew anytime, anywhere .... these two
senior seamstresses stitch away in different environments. On the
left is Mary Catherine Cole, who is seen in one of the familiar “arm-
chairs” which are standard L.H.S. equipment. Ann Conely, pictured
on the right, carries her materials home with her.
Homemaking Girls Learn Howi
' Mwmm
To Sew - AnytimeJAnywhere
“A stitch in time saves nine,” or
something to that effect. Well, we
don’t know if they are going to save
anything, but we do know some
mighty pretty work is being turned
out.
In case you have seen several lasses
running from one class to the next
with needle, thread, and material float-
ing after them, we thought we had
better explain before someone called
the little white wagon. Those doing
the needle pushing are the girls in
Senior Homemaking 42 class.
What do they do? Anything from
dress scarfs to tablecloths.
When do they sew? Anytime, and
that’s for sure.
Where? Any place from home to
Logan’s, including the classroom. It
seems as though Mary Catherine Cole
and her luncheon cloth have practical-
ly turned aeronautics class into a sew-
ing circle. Thirty boys and two girls
form the membership of that class. It
should be worth seeing.
Why? In the first place, it’s requir-
ed. In the second place all those pil-
lowcases and tablecoths will really
look nice in hope or hopeless (as the
case may be) chests.
Already the girls have learned to pull
threads, double hemstitch and do many
fancy designs. So now anytime you
see a bunch of girls oh-ing and ah-ing
over something, more than likly it isn’t
jewelry or a new picture. It probably
is a beautiful place mat or dresser
scarf. And personally, we think the
excellent work they are doing deserves
oh-ing and ah-ing over. Why don’t you
drop in the homemaking room some-
time soon and see their work on dis-
play?
Change Your Liabilities To Assets
When In The Halls Between Periods
Recently, more than ever before, it seems that our students are visiting other
schools. Now, when we go into these schools, jt gives us the opportunity to get
“inside information” on practices there. One of the most interesting studies is
to observe “scholars”^ between periods.
Recently, when Lubbock delegates were visiting in another school, a girl we
know was literally swept off her feet by a brawny football letterman ... he
set her down a few yards down the hall.
In order to keep local “traffic conditions” in our halls under control, West-
erners have set up a certain standard. At the beginning of each school year, we
can always blame the sophomore. However, with three-quarters of the year
gone—doing the wrong thing can be called nothing but thoughtlessness or rude-
ness on the part of some students who attend Lubbock High.
Strong arches, a friendly smile and basic good manners will tend to improve
our home conditions during the passing periods. However, we offer some sug-
gestions for making the approximately forty minutes you spend each day in pass-
ing from class to class an asset rather than a liability.
(1) Don’t loiter in the halls; you may make others late too.
(2) Keep to the right always.
(3) Don’t stop on the stairs to exchange comments with your friends.
(4) Go up on the right side of the stairs and descend on the left.
(5) Don’t gather around the water fountain to talk when other students are
waiting to get a drink.
This sounds like a code of don't, but the rules are some of the fundamentals
of courtesy and good sportsmanship. Isn’t it better to keep in mind unwritten
ideas than to be forced to obey written laws?
Next Friday Is Kinda’ Late To
Start Worrying About Tests
“Why didn’t I study?”
These may be familiar words around Lubbock High school during and after
the nine weeks’ tests which are to be given next week. *
Students have a habit of worrying about studying for a test after it is over.
This is unfortunate, since the only possible way to pass a test is to study for it
beforehand. Studying, as defined by Webster, is the application of the mind to
the acquisition of knowledge. Studying, as defined by some students, is the ap-
plication of the mind to day-dreaming and amusements.
The names of these students appear frequently on the failing list, quite to
their surprise. Usually a student who doesn’t study for a test, immediately
brands it as a hard one. It is the student, n,ot the teacher, that makes a test hard
or easy. The more you study for a test, the easier it will be; the less you study,
the harder it will be.
When a student’s name appears on the honor roll, it is not so much a credit
to his intelligence, as it is to his ability and willingness to study. x
Remember, when you begin studying for the nine weeks* tests, that these tests
will show how much or how little you have studied.

Here’s Proof That Biology *
Has ‘Practical’ Applications
EDITOR’S NOTE: Hilliard Mills, an enterprising sophomore biology student,
recently presented Mrs. Ruth Studehaller with the following account, together
with a note which read, "‘Go to the faucet, get a glass of water and read this letter
to it." We think this "'letter’" is proof that a little originality is a big help in
making a "solid" interesting.

Dear Mr. H. Two-Ough,
I received your letter telling me that you are writing a biography about your
brother, H. Two-Ough, and want me to send you some information about his
travels with me, so here it is:
It all started when I was drifting through the air and went into the Stomata
of a leaf of a potato plant. I was absorbed by Osmosis through the inner Spongy
cells to one of the Pallisade cells. It was there I met H. Two-Ough.
H. Two-Ough, I, and five other pairs like us were suddenly thrown together
by a Chloroplast, and we formed what we called a Glu Cose. When we were
formed, the parts of us left over formed six Oxy Gens. The Oxy Gens went to
the Stomata and escaped; but we Glu Coses floated through the cell sap to the
roots and then into a potato, where many Glu Coses were joined together and
some H. Two-Oughs escaped. We found that we could no longer float when the
H. Two-Oughs escaped, so we were then Starches.
Presently, we were cooked and bit into. A juice called Ptyalin began to add
H. Two-Oughs to us, causing us to float and making us into soluble sugar. As
soluble sugars we went down the Phamyx and Esophagus and into the Stomach.
The same peristaltic movement that pushed us into the stomach was now rocking
us back and forth. Plenty of Gastric juices were poured in, but they were harm-
less to us.
Soon the Pyloris opened and we went into the Small intestine. For the firslT$
few inches, juices poured in through a hole. We called this place the tunnel of\ ?
Duodenum. Suddenly we were absorbed from the great Digestive tract into a
Villus. After floating around in the Lymph, we soon went into a Capillary
and flowed in the blood stream, through a vein and into the Capillaries of the
Liver where a few of the Glu Coses were absorbed. Q\
Our Glu Cose went through a vein to the right Auricle of the heart, through
a curtain valve and into the right Ventricle. The muscles started squeezing, and, ^
since the curtain valve closed, we went through a pocket valve and into an Artery
to the Lung.
In the Lung Capillaries we picked up some Oxy Gens who were absorbed by
blood cells. From the Lung we went in a vein to the left side of the Heart and
out the Aorta. We (six Oxy Gens, H. Two-Ough, the others that made up the
Glu Cose, and I went down to the Capillaries in the leg muscle and were absorb-
ed into the Lymph. By Osmosis we also went into a muscle cell. An impulse
from a nerve cell caused the muscle cell to throw the Oxy Gens at us and change
us back to our original form, which released energy the muscle used to contract.
H. Two-Ough and I were absorbed again into the Lymph and then into a Capil-
lary. I traveled in a blood cell while H. Two-Ough was in the blood stream.
After going through the right side of the Heart again, I found myself with
your brother in the Capillaries of the Lung, only this time we escaped into the
Air Sac and were breathed out. This is the last I saw of H. Two-Ough, but I will
try to find out more for you.
Sincerely,
C. O. Two.
Ki
Dates, Doings,
Last Thursday night’s junior party
was reported by those attending to be
a howling success. The jaunty juniors
resembled sacks of potatoes in a relay
which consisted of getting into a tow-
sack with a basketball between the
feet and racing the length of the gym.
Kinda hard to stand up, wasn’t it?
Joanne Pierce and Paul James, stead-
ies, were seen together at the junior
party. Also together were Barbara
Sanders and Don Davis, who recently
returned from N.M.M.I. Shirley Chap-
man and Bob Ford, Roy Burrows and
‘What? Wearing a red bandana on
St. Patrick’s Day?”

by Jackie Smith
Bobbie Hampton, and Carol Ham and
Homer Bagley were dates at the
junior party.
Mr. Lester Nabors, chemistry teach-
er, made a big hit playing Sammy
Hodge’s guitar at the above mentioned
affair.
Two cute steady couples are Charles
Rand and Barbara Kittrell, Charles
McCown and Claynelle Pack.
No longer going steady are La Faun
Edwards and Freddie Gray.
Seen together last week end were
Donnie Rawls and Shirley Marion, as
were Beverly Page and Nelson Evans.
A newly engaged couple is Charis
Pinkston and Dayle Young, 1950 L.H.S.
graduate. Pat Norman is also wearing
a ring from Joe Rigsby of Bonham.
Seen double-dating Sunday after-
noon were Barbara Quinn and Edgar
Murphy, and Bobby Essary and Mar-
tha Thompson.
Janette Mahle and Patsy McLaugh-
lin spent the week-end in Crosbyton.
While there, Janette dated Ronald Dav-
is, and Patsy, John Davis.
We hear that those Y-Teens and
“Hi-Wires” attending the conference
in Abilene had quite a good time.
“Lubbock REALLY needs a youth cen-
ter,” is the general sentiment of the re-
turning delegates.

ST. PATRICK'S DAY . . .
‘How were we to know he was allerg-
ic to green?”
There was a tie in guessing Mystery
X last week. Joan Perry and Ruby
Vinson simultaneously identified the
girl in the picture as Ann Grant.
Pictured here are some of the sound
effects used in “Mr. Barry’s Etchings.”
Also in the picture is a hand belonging
to the senior who is in charge of sound
effects. Two free passes to the Circle
Drive-In are yours, if you are the first
one to identify this senior. Bring
your answers to room 137.
BE SURE TO SEE "MR. BAR-
RY'S ETCHINGS."
