Senior Favorites Dana Dorn Bobby Matlock Sp d by THE COUNTRY sToRE COVER Awards and Honors Located on the campus of the University of Texas at Austin, this statue by Alec Phimister Proctor memorializes the Mustangs who carried the men who made Texas. Emblazoned on the supporting pedestal are these words by I. Frank Dobie: These horses bore Spanish explorers across two continents. Like the longhorn, the Mustang has been vir- tually bred out of existence, but Mustang horses will always symbolize western frontiers, long trails of longhorn herds, seas of pristine grass and men riding free in a free land.

Awakened minds noted that the time for maturity had arrived, along with the seriousness of the outside world. As students stopped to glance back at their days at CHS, time also was allotted for a look into the past of the school itself. That past began with Francisco Vasquez De Coronado, an early Spanish explorer of the southwest. He led many expeditions in search for gold, with his travels extending from the Rio Grande to as far as Kansas. Although this traveler is thought to have died in 1549, his mark remains in this building which bears his name. Centuries after Coronado came the little town of Lubbock. Although Lubbock has progressed into a city of nearly 175,000, farms and cotton fields are only minutes away.
