Publications capture memories, awards Time continued to tick away as students filled their busy schedules with assorted activities. Although Mustangs rushed to do everything and hated to miss anything, the seconds sped past. Although there were those who tried to slow the hands of time, they never quite succeeded. Gradually they began to realize that the experiences which filled their days with laughter and tears would soon become no more than memories. In an effort to capture the memories of those earliest students, the 1965-66 year- book staff was faced with the problem of choosing a name for the publication. ln response to an article in the school news- paper, students submitted ideas for consider- ation. The chosen title was not disclosed until the end of the year when the first El Viajero was distributed: however, no record exists as to the contributor of the name of Coronado's book. The title El Viajero, Spanish for The Traveler, was land isl appropriate since it corresponds with the naming of the school for the famous Spanish explorer who is said to have literally marched off the map of his day. Also blazing new trails, El Viajero was the first Lubbock yearbook to switch to a summer delivery and the first to adopt the 9 by 12 format. Topping off its other im- pressive awards, which include three state championships, six All-American ratings and five Nledalist designations, El Viaiero in 1975 was one of six books in the nation to win the Five-Star Award. The first newspaper staff also was in a dilemma over the publication's title. Follow- ing a first edition with ????? on the name- Af 4 Traditions af' fl YMJIRU
