Bullets Blazing and Spurs A Jingling Gary Price finds that the arms of his friend arc comfy enough, but John Armstrong, an innocent onlooker, seems to feel the weight of the problem. Guns firing and spurs clanking marked the be- ginning of Western Day, February $, for the cowboys and cowgirls. The main attraction for the day consisted of en- tertainment from that well-known cowtown, Dodge City. El Paso” was sung by John Thompson after Cherie Turney had entranced her audience with Don’t Fence Me In.” A special version of Ringo” sung by Joe Reynolds was greeted by laughs from all. The cowpokes were brought back to reality, however, when Gene Elrod began Oh, What a Beautiful Morning.” A special treat was added to the entertainment when Manuel Diez stepped to the stage to sing a song from his native country, Ar- gentina. The entertainment was halted by Bo Brown when the crucial moment of truth arrived and nominees for king and queen stepped to the stage. After care- ful consideration, Joe Mendez, Dan Fagerstrom, Karen Leach, and Dianne Young were given the honors. After a day of gunfights and reliving the past, the cowboys and cowgirls vanished to await their next chance to go back into the old West. Part of the activity for the 1965 Western Day, was an election held in two assemblies in which Joe Mendez, Dianne Young, Karen Leach, and Dan Fagerstrom were chosen to represent the year's Arlington High School kings and queens. 28
