THE WESTERNER WORLD
Friday, March 16, 1951
Fore/, Franklin Chosen
Rotarian, Girl Of Month
18 Become Members Of Quill,
Scroll Society Monday Night
Easily recognized around LHS
by his ready smile, Frank Ford
has recently been selected as the
March Junior Rotarian by a com-
mittee composed of Principal
Floyd Honey, Athletic Director
Pat Pattison, and Athletic Man-
ager E. J. Lowrey. Frank’s se-
lection was based on his being an
outstanding student here—out-
standing in leadership, in atten-
dance, and in citizenship—and his
possessing an all-around record
of distinction.
Honors, offices, and activities!
All through his three years in
high school here, this six-footer
has been one of the busiest stu-
dents to be seen in the halls of
LHS. He’s served his class well
as sophomore vice-president, jun-
ior president, and senior vice-
president. His club activities in-
clude membership in the Hi-Y
club, National Thespians, past
presidency of the Spanish club,
and a past chairmanship of the
Student council information com-
mittee. Don’t stop here—there’s
more!
Senator At Boys' State
Last year Frank was a part of
the junior play and assembly, and
in the summer, along with other
boys, he went to Boys’ state,
where he served as senator. This
busy lad also recently chairman-
ed finance committee of the Wes-
terner carnival,1 contest commit-
tee of the Round-Up, and the
senior trip committee.
With all this, his grades hav-
n’t been slighted either. Until a
recent turn of events, he was a
member of the National Honor
society, and he now is a starring
member of the Lubbock Debate
team. In Interscholastic Spell-
ing contests during his sophomore
and junior years, he held a
second and a first place district
championships, respectively.
Hi-Y And Scouting
Along with his debating work,
Hi-Y and Scouting are his main
interests. Frank has just return-
ed from the area Hi-Y^conference
in Abilene where he led a dis-
cussion group on “Democracy vs.
Communism.” Last year he ran,
unsuccessfully, for the first vice-
presidency of the district, and for
the past fwe weeks, he has been
in charge of the Hi-Y Intramural
Basketball tournament. An Eagle
Scout, his “scouting” activities
made his main outside interests
rattlesnake hunting, fishing,
camping, and girls. Frank was
also president of his Sunday
school class.
There’s more, too, but this isn’t
a biography; it’s merely an ac-
count of his latest honor, Junior
Rotarian. His appointment fol-
llows that of Terry Young, Neil
Vaughn, Mac Taylor, Tommy
Raney, Walter Norton, and Ger-
re Hancock.

June Franklin, senior cheer-
leader and vice-president, is to be
honored as March Girl of the
Month by Lubbock Business and
Professional Women’s club. June
was selected by faculty members
Mrs. Dick Cozby, Mrs. Dahlia
Terrell, Miss Irene Armes, Miss
Gertrude Watson, and Miss Edith
Caveness.
Recently honored as Round-Up
favorite and nominated as one of
the two final candidates for sen-
ior favorite to be revealed when
the yearbook comes out, June is
known for her boundless energy
and enthusiasm. She greets
everyone with a friendly “hello”
and a charming smile. In her
capacity as cheerleader, June has
yelled at games, includnig all in-
town and out-of-town Westerner
football and basketbal games.
Thrice A Vice-President
Besides being senior cheerlead-
er, she has served as class vice-
president during all three years
of her high school career, serving
in such ways as a member of the
recreation committee of the Stu-
dent council last year and as
general correspondent for all stu-
dent council activities. Clubs,
clubs, and more clubs; Rather
than name them all, when asked
about her membership in clubs,
June laughingly stated, “I have
belonged to all kinds of clubs
since I have been in high school—
probably every club that will ad-
mit girls.”
One of her latest enterprises—
drafting Y-Teens to paint the
Negro nursery—comes to her as
head of the service committee of
that organization. She missed
going to Abilene for the Y-Teen
conference last Friday to remain
home for this project. Last year
June served as chairman of the
Y-Teen Music committee, and this
is her second year as a member
of the National Honor Society.
On Exchange Assembly
June traveled with the Lub-
bock Senior High school ex-
change assembly as a member of
a song-and-dance trio last fall, as
you probably recall. She has
decorated goalposts for football
games, and worked for all-school
parties.
Besides Student council work,
which June explains, is the
eouivalent of another class be-
cause it demands so much of her
time, she declares that her main
interest is “people”. Perhaps
this explains June’s honors, of-
fices and activities, and her being
selected as March Girl of the
Month.
She is preceded by Lola Ander-
son, Iris Brunson, Ruth Breazeale,
Louise Davis, Norma Smith, and
Harriet Henderson.
Christian Minister
Speaks On Germany
“Of all people in the world who
should be happy, it’s you young
people who live in a land of lib-
erty.” This thought - provoking
statement was rendered by Mr.
Otis Gatewood in the special as-
sembly March 7 when he spoke
on his “Experiences and Impres-
sions in Germany.”
Mr. Gatewood journeyed to
Germany as a missionary for the
Churches of Christ. He said that
the hardest thing about his work
was trying to convince the Ger-
man people that they needed
what he had to offer them. “Al-
though they had a certain form
of Christianity,” he said, “it was
not what it should have been or
there would have been no second
World War.”
While in Germany, Mr. Gate-
wood realized first how much
distruction the war had caused.
“Each city of one million popu-
lation or more was 80 per cent
destroyed,” he revealed.
Mr. Gatewood made the state-
ment that if we could spend only
one tenth of the amount that we
spend on armies for spreading
Christianity that we could not
possibly loose, also if we were as
willing to die for God as our
country not so many boys would
give up their lives on the bloody
battlefield.
Eighteen “jakes” became offi-
cial members of Quill and Scroll,
the international honorary soci-
ety for high school journalists,
at the formal initiation banquet
held in the Hilton hotel, Monday
night. The additions to the so-
ciety nearly doubled the previous
membership of 20.
The nine seniors admitted to
the society were Nelson Evans,
Marion Gill, Franklin Greer, Pat
Harkleroad, Martha Hobgood,
Pat Patrick, Tommy Raney,
Jackie Smith, and Joyce Walker.
Juniors initiated were Walter Jo
Adams, Sam Camp, Carol Col-
lins, Bill Gordon, Peggy Hay,
Sandy Moore, Claynelle Pack,
Winona Starr, and Ben West.
Mr. Culver Hill, advertising
manager for the Hemphill-Wells
company, described the work in-
volved in planning and produc-
ing effective advertising, in his
after dinner remarks.
Pledges were called upon at
random to read their contribu-
tions to that part of the program
called “Pledges’ Poetic Efforts”
in which the pledging system and
old members were treated as
humorous subjects.
The candlelight initiation ser-
vice climaxed the banquet and
the two week pledging period in
which the jakes were expected to
treat the members with all the
courtesy due ladies and gentle-
men; also there was a Jake Night
to give the jakes the opportunity
of entertianing their “superiors”
by presenting a planned program
and wearing unusual costumes.
