Westerners ' Week at Fort Lewis was a time when Howdy was the byword and friendship was a practiced art. Sponsored by the Westerners ' Club, Lyle Howard, coun- selor. Westerners ' Week brought to- gether genuine rawhiders and willing dudes in a five-day fun fest, Nov. 2-6. Always ready boosters of nearly every campus activity, social or promotional, the Westerners ' Club was both organ- ized and fully prepared for the week of cowboy capers. During the five-day stomp, ' Vesterners ' Club members appeared on campus in western work duds, fancy dress outfits, and they were highly successful in their coer- cions to prompt the entire student body, faculty and others to follow suit with western attire. Primary among the incentives employed by the west- erners was the establishment of a kangaroo court which meted out such penalties as having to dunk for an apple in a tub of cotd water, pounding nail into a log, and other appropriate fun. All Fort Lewis students were in- vited to participate in game day, a frolic fete limited to the main quad. ...i ;i4jK,i;i..i ' a No dude she, Patricia Everett holds a hand full of scrambled egg as a result of her participation in the egg throwing con- test.

Gathering at noon for another watery session of the kangaroo court and accompanying fun, Judi Vandiver, Leslianne Light- wine, John Baird, Larry Minor, Jim Smith, Barbara Stewart, Sheila Shackelford, Linda Singletary, Mike Monell and Barbara Ferrari pass the minutes with jocular chit-chat. With termina- tion of the 11 o ' clock class period, students poured out onto the walkways only to find themselves roped and tied, awaiting their turn at the dunking trough for being out of uniform. ' ' Western ' ' Is a Way of Life, An Attitude, A Style of Dress Returning to the days and ways in which good old western hospitahty was more than just a cliche, the Westerners ' Club members have founded an organization which attracts new can- didates and a philosophy which is practiced with real results. The club dates back to the old campus at Hesperus where nearly everyone was a west- erner in dress, attitude and origin. Even at that time, this organization numbered an astounding membership of westerners, and it began inaugu- rating new candidates from all parts of the United States. When the college was re-located in Duran- go, with it came the prevailing attitude fostered by the Westerners ' Club. The club received its official charter in 1958. Since that period, mem- bership has fluxuated in keeping with the ratio of westerners to students from other locales. Students gave Queen Barbara Henson a rousing ovation as she was presented, along with her escort Terry Schmidt, at halftime ceremonies in the grid contest between Fort Lewis and Arizona State College. Standing at attention in the fore- ground is westerne r Sam Noble dressed in the garb of a U.S. Cavalryman to serve as color guard. The Westerner ' s Club color guard served often in ' 66. 30
