Just as the student council, faculty, classes, organizations and townspeople worked together to make Homecoming a success, so have we worked together to re- cord your school year. Just as the alumni came back to B.S.H.S. to relive their school days, we hope that you will come back to this book to relive the memories of this year. DEDICATION Among those who are dear to the hearts of all Big Spring High School is Mrs. Gene Harrington, our general secretary. Known perhaps as a stu- dent ' s best friend, Mrs. Harrington always manages to take time from her busy schedule in order to offer a friendly smile, a word of encourage- ment, a special excuse, or even help you browse through the lost and found. In appreciation for her interest in the students and her service to B.S.H.S. both as a former student and present member of the faculty, we, the annual staff, hereby dedicate the 1955 EL RODEO to Mrs. Gene Harrington. 1 Br f.-n III C_ vimmiMTittNil 3 ttfittflflHHMliiV ' ' .

Business Firms 151 It ' s Not All In Books No matter how modern the department or how good the teacher it takes more than books and lectures to complete an education. Things such as performing those awful smelling ex- periments, typing business letters, making durable garments, preparing meals, and doing private research for that thing known as a term theme, take up a majorpartof any student ' s day. - m i All Work and No Play All work and no play makes Jacka dull boy so some parts of school must be as much fun as they are work. Cutting stencils for the Corral, preparing for that big concert, practicing for plays, or filling the pinata for a Spanish Club party help relieve that necessary academic load. Practice Makes Perfect In order to develop physically and in voca- tional fields, we need lots ofexperience and practice. Physical educational classes, athletic teams, mechanical drawing and shop take lots of time but it is time well spent. i PERSONALITIES BEST ALL-ROUND Nannette Farquhar Carlisle Frosty Robison 10 SENIOR FAVORITES Bobby Phillips Janice Nalley 11 JUNIOR FAVORITES Caroline Miller Bobby Fuller 12 SOPHOMORE FAVORITES Johnny Janak Sue Boykin 13 WHO ' S WHO SENIORS GLENN ROGERS PEGGY HOGAN Glenn Rogers, our student body president was named to Junior Who ' s Who last year.

Everyone was really whooping it up for our first downtown pep rally. It must have - , had a good effect on the football teamXj ' ' they beat Stephenville 34-13. After the Ysleta game, Lee Underwood ' s S e r e- naders sponsored a dance in the Settles Ballroom.

October During the half-time activi- ties of the Lamesa game. Pat Tidwell Cosby was crowned Foot- ball Sw e e th e a r t of 1 954. The runners-up f o r this cherished honor were Peggy Hogan and Janice Nalley. Frosty Robison, Brick Johnson, and Lefty Rey- nolds were the Black Knights who were selected to escort the queen and her court. A Cadillac con- vertible carried the trio of girls around the field. Each of the girls were sent a mum by the football players and Pat was presented with a bouquet of gold munns by Lefty. The radiant sweetheart was crowned with a football helnnet and was given the tradi- tional kiss by Frosty Robison, one of the team ' s co-captains. Pat was a football sweetheart in the truest sense of the word, for she married her football hero, Buddy Cosby.

With mops and lime, they gaily painted the sidewalks and street in front of the school to let the Steers know that we were behind them all the way. Some of our artists, including a fu- ture Steer, are Bounce Covert, Kathy McCree, Jerry Foresyth, Adrienne Smith, Preston Mason, Don Collins, and Don Lovelady. J O O im R a i M - M J . Four of our Student Coun- cil representatives presented the good sportsmanship plaque to the representatives ofYsleta. These plaques have been presented to each of our gridiron opponents throughout the 1954 football season. This is just one of the many things that the student council has done to promote good sportsmanship and school spirit. Bettie Ander- son, presenting the plaque, is accompanied by Nita Hedle- ston, Sue Barnes, and LaRue Casey. HALLOWEEN CARNIVAL of 1954 The Halloween Carnival was one of the high lights of October. Each of the classes and many of the school organizations sponsored booths at the carnival. Troy McClendon and Tommy Pickle seenn to be working hard to allure custo- mers to the bingo booth which was sponsored by the sophomore class. To the beautiful strains of the Hawaiian War Chant four of our graceful seniors tell us the story of the mystic islands across the blue Pacific. These enchanting hula girlsare L e f t y R e y no 1 d s, Pat McKinney, Glenn Jenkins, and Brick Johnson. Their dance took place at the side show , sponsored by the sen- ior class. Other attractions of the side show included Siamese twins, Ronnie Wooten, and Tommy McAdams, and the tattoed man, Dickie Milam. LU. U Happy days are here for Halloween Queen Londa Coker By the excited expressions of Peggy Hogan, Ross Roberts, her majesty Londa, student council president Glenn Rogers and Eunice Freeman all is well on the grounds of B.S.H.S. To Her Majesty from the students. Queen Londa, may your reign be long and successful! November The first of the banquets honoring the 1954 1 AAA Co-Champs was sponsored by the Quarterback Club. The team was en- tertained by a mock football game tapped out by the powerful (and pretty) Steers, Eunice Freeman and Sally Cowper. The whole Steer herd seemed surprised to see Dickie Milam turn down Lois Spivey when she asked him to Give Me A Little Kiss.

Steer fans watch happily as we burn the home of the Buckaroos before the Breckenridge game. Everyone managed to take time out from their chatter to be served during the reception. Several of our loyal Ex ' s kept the punch bowls full and plenty of cookies on the table. On Thanksgiving Day, Shine Phillips became the first person ever to receive an honorary diploma from Big Spring Public Schools. Obie Bristow presented the diploma during the half-time activities of the Homecoming game. Public Schools m recogni 0j„„ iki.

Big Spring Holds First To many people Homecoming meant traveling long dis- tances, short distances, or maybe just around the corner, but everyone agreed that it was great to be h o m e to s e e old friends a n d. smile over new school fads and activities. A bonfire, parade, football game, recep- tion, and dance filled the two days of our first Homecoming. Every- thing seemed to be the biggest and best ever. The parade was led by the six nominees for Homecoming Queen followed by block after block of beautifully dec- orated floats and cars. Class of ' 37 is in room 210. Student council members cheerfully tell Ex ' s where to find their old croonies. Sue Barnes received the honor of being se- lected the first Home- coming Queen of Big Spring Senior High. Princesses Lila Tur- ner, Nita Hedleston, Nancy Smith, Barbara B o w e n, and M a r i 1 o u Staggs made up her court. At the reception after the football game, you could overhear such friendly bits of conver- sation as, Mary cer- tainly has put on weight these past few years, and I just happen to have a picture of my three children with me and. . . The sheiks and flappers, cats and kittens joined together for the big dance that climaxed the two fun filled days. Mrs. Clara ZackandMrs. Virginia Schwa rz- enback played very important roles in making our Homecoming the great success that it was. The whole student body appreciated their co- operation and hard work. 35 December The annual door decorating con- test was lots of work butour amateur decorators really turned out some masterpieces. You would be amazed at the amount of spirit a little ever- reen, mistletoe, and brightly colored paper can give a school. Toni Gauer Assembly December 2 Band and Chorus Concert December 16 Spanish Chili Supper December 16 Christmas Assembly December 22 Christmas Formal December 23 Y Masquerade Ball December 31 SANTA, SEHDlil. One of the festivities was a dance for the El Rodeo and Corral staffs and their guests. Dancing under mistletoe was a special feature of this Christ- mas dance. La Velle Wasson puts into prac- tice a phase of her homemaking knowledge, being a good hostess, at the Christmas Mother-Daughter Tea sponsored by the Future Home- makers of America. Who says there isn ' t a Santa Claus? B. S. H. S. has one com- posed of the Student Council and 600 generous hearted students. This year Santa ' s pack contained canned goods for the less fortunate families in town. v With his sack full of presents for all good girls and boys, Santa Claus came to B. S. H. S. Diplomas for Pat McKinney and Freddie Blalack, a doll for Annette Boykin, and a rock for Mary Sue Hale were a few of the gifts he pulled from his sack. At the Christmas Formal, held December 23, everyone had a wonderful time. Under the blue streamers that decorated the ceiling, the students danced to the music of Bill Aylor. The favorites, best- all-round, and school beauty were presented at the Christmas Formal. J. Nalley was senior favorite; B. Bowen, school beauty; N. Farquhar and F. Robi- son, best - all - round; C. Miller and B. Fuller, jun- ior favorites; S.Boykin and J. Janak, sophomore favor- ites. The Y sponsored a Masquerade Ball, New Year ' s Eve. The two cou- ples in their colorful polka dots are A. Boykin, R. Roberts, J. Johnson and M. Davis. Much to everyone ' s sorrow (?) we were unable to attend school January 10 and 11 due to the heavy snowfall. Of course we all studied athome. Our favorite courses were: having snowball fights, building snowmen, and making snow ice cream. Two of our better-known Steers, Frosty, Robison and Dickie Milam, became the first Big Spring football players ever to be named to the mythical Little AU-American football team. Besides receiving honorable mention to this team, they each received several all- state awards. They a r e shown here being helped into their new letter jackets by Coach Carl Coleman. More toast and coffee com- ing up, Tommy McAdams and Lou Ann White assure the hun- gry teachers. In spite of the fact that the service and food were excellent, none of the teachers thought to leave tips. However, this was not a money making project. It was the annual faculty breakfast sponsored by the stu- dent council. January Spanish Club Dance January 7 Faculty Breakfast January 12 Torrini and Phylis Magicians January 13 Dad-Daughter Banquet January 20 Twirp Week January 24-29 Senior High Follies January 27 For their annual Daddy- Date-Nite, the Home- making girls treated their pops to a banquet. The VIP ' s sittirtg at the head table are some of the club officers and their dads. Though the girls didn ' t cook the meal, they were sure that it would have been just as good if they had. For the second straight year the Steers received the District 1-AAA Co-Champi- onship trophy and again it was shared with Breckenridge . Sharing the receiving honors are Coach Wayne Bonner, Supt. W. C. Blankenship, Coach Carl Coleman, Lefty Reynolds and Frosty Robison, co-captains, and Mr. Worley. Satisfying the hunger and thirst that always arouses at a basketball game is one of the projects of the Key Club. Here Brownie Rogers is mak- ing change for one of his cus- tomers. TWIRP WEEK I have the right To get my man by peace or fight. For one whole week, it ' s up to me To take him out and pay the fee. So boys beware, the week ' s begun. Come on girls, let ' s have some fun! Rules 1. Only girls have the priv- ilege of asking for dates. 2. Expenses and transpor- tation is the girl ' s re- sponsibility. Feminine muscles must be used for carry inj Prince Charming ' s books, opening the doors for him, etc. 4. Steadies must wear signs indicating they are booked up, but the signs 5 X 7 . 5. Girls must tie a ribbon around the boy ' s neck indicating that he ' s taken for that night. 6. All self-respecting girls must ask her beau for the date at least thirty minutes in advance and spend at least five cents on him. 7. Girls musthave this card before they are eligible to ask boys for dates. must not be over Allowances seemed to fade away mighty quick during Twirp Week. Carol Rogers discovered this after taking Lloyd Hampton to the show. Bobby Phillips seemed to get an evil joyoutof making Patty Bond open the car door for him. AsLoretta Henson struggled with their books, DeanLowke and Jackie Touch- tone showed her no sympathy. Charles Johnson was totally unaware o f that longing look Sylvia Mendolia cast toward his banana split as she drank her water. February Cupid, alias the Spanish Club, sponsored the annual Valentine Dance. Evidence of Cupids handiwork are: D. Reed, B. Bowen; B. Compton, M. S. Hale; R. Paschall.S. Chastel; R. Terry, G. Adams; F. Long.C. Carroll; D. Dibrell, M. I-.. James; F. Blalack, E. Russell; and C. D. Harris. The girls of B.S.H.S., with the exception of Anne Rowe, let out shrieks and screams during some of the demon- strations of the Electrical Assembly. Preston Mason, one of our more brave and curious boys, helped perform some of the experiments during this very interestioL ' assembly. Bringing an old custom back into being, the basket- fa a 1 1 boys elected a queen this year. During the half- time of the last game Jane Hill was crowned queen and presented a bouquet of beautiful red roses. Her court was composed of Judy Masters and Clara Free- man. Their escorts were Bobby Phillips, Charles Clark, and Al Kloven. ke- sy=.

Then, too, she might be pleased with her escort. Band Captain, Howard Sheats. Looking on are two Stu- dent Council members who carried the crown and flowers on the field for the presentation, Nita Hedleston and Shirley Ward, thinking that an excellent choice has been made by the band stu- dents. (above) During the year our Drum Major, Harris Wood, and Band Queen, Betty Earley, made several superior showings on the field. We are proud of these two and their many contributions to the formations of the band. (right) After receiving her crown, Betty Earley smiles graciously as she is drivenoff the field by Robert Robbins, assistant band director. This year we can once more say that we are proud of our Big Spring High School Band. It was certainly an addition to the ever-present excitement at the football and basketball games and pep rallies. Its concerts were excellent examples of why we love to hear the band perform again and again. The fact that five of the band members - Harris Wood, Bill Bradley, Jon Cook, Margaret Martin, and Darrell Sanders - qualified for the all-state band and orchestra this year might have had a great deal to do with the splendid showing of the band. All of this proves the good reason to spread the word about our fine band. (right) Mr. Rowe, our distinguished band director, is selecting music for his daily classes.
