Several, such as Homecoming, the Bonfire, the Junior-Senior Prom, and Graduation, are customs that have been around for generations. Others, like Career Day, the Powder Bowl, and 50 ' s Day, are relatively new to LHS. Then there are the world and national events that surround us, and Coach O.W. Follis ' 700th win that will never happen again. THE PEOPLE (Section B) of Lamesa High School in 1975 range from the not so totally innocent freshmen to Mr. O.W. Follis with a 29 year teaching tenure at LHS. Each class of students has marked itself as different from the rest and as being a totally unique group of people. HOW-TO-DO-IT-YOURSELF (Section C) is probably the great- est task facing any apprentice. The duty of LHS has been to take the unknowing person and show him how to practice a skill without outside help. This could mean writing a research paper on American literature. Or raising livestock. Whatever the student endeavors to learn, he must do it well to succeed. THE HAPPENINGS (Section D) take the student and allow him to master the art of living on this earth as a social animal . Clubs, dances, and the everyday syndrome of living add up to be what is important to each. THE CLASSIFIED (Section E) give us a chance to take in- ventory of what we have to take, what we have, and what we will do with the future. 2A TORNADO, Lamesa, Texas, 1975 The TORNADO Founded 1924 In keeping up with its effort to bring you all of the news that ' s fit to print, the TORNADO presents an open- ing section featuring what we feel are the big stories of the 1975 school year. We call them the Top Ten actually twelve stories appear in this section, but we decided Top Ten sounds much better. To be qualified as a Top Ten ' er, tlie story must cause a ripple in the regular flow of days. Of course some were much bigger tfian others, and received much attention from those outside of the community. And we realize you might think we left out sometliing important, (more tlian likely it ' s found some- where else in the yearbook) or put in a nothing story. But what ' s important is that Uiese things did happen and they have left tlieir mark upon us. We ' ve tried to capture these moments, so when the mark begins to fade, you can recall the events that place tlie mark there. Candy Barrington-editor Stanley Nolen-advisor Evidence of limes past, when gum chewing was prohibited and any caught offender was punished . . . therefore causing many tables and chairs to be gummy underneath. J In newspaper terminology the morning edition of the daily paper is a one-star— indicating only the partial news of the day . The after- noon edition is two-star again indicating a incom- plete day. The last paper of the day contains all of the day ' s news from morning to evening. This is the three-star final . The 1975 TORNADO is the first yearbook from Lamesa High School to contain events from August to May . This covers nearly twice as many days as any previous annual . The staff has placed every event possible in this year- book, and it is with pride that we call It the first 3- Star Final. Do YOU Remember Who These CB ' ers Are? With tlie dominance of tfie C.B.

Students met and began to gatlier wood for the bonfire, while Student Council planned a formal crowning of the yearly Homecoming Queen. As excitement built, every- one began to get dates and order mums. Elections for the Queen and Court were held. Nominees for Queen were Idelia Mcndez, Teresa Owens, and Cathy Bizzell. Court representatives were Greta Wilson, Judith Parsons, and Gina Estrada. Everyone devoted their time after school and on the weekends to make the pile of wood on the Rodeo grounds grow taller. The time to burn the large stack grew closer, and many boys spent the night by the as- semblage to guard it from the usual early burning. The Firebug caught everyone off guard and set fire to it. The firefighters were not able to save any of it. Students left school to try to rebuild ttic stack !)eforc nightfall, the time the bon- fire w s officially scheduled Ku r Kl ' to burn. After a long stren- uous day, everyone decided that the new pile of wood was larger than the first one. A pep rally was held by the edge of the fire, with every- one showing a lot of spirit and enthusiasm. Friday came and every mem- ber of the school was excited. A special pep rally was to be held in the audi- torium and formal crowning of of the unknown Queen. The Queen was to be determined by popular vote. The pep rally began, the football team trudged in, and Teresa Owens was crowned Homecoming Queen. The special presentation was ended with the fight song, and all left to prepare for the night ' s game. The evening turned out warm and perfect weather for foot- ball, although the Tornadoes lost to Dunbar. The dance followed with many former students returning and every- one enjoying the good times. Yet all that remains of the 1974-75 Homecoming is dried mums and the memories that we all carry in our hearts. i TORNADO, Lamcsa, Texas, 1975 5A 1.

Foil is started his coaching career in Lamesa 29 years ago hoping towin enough to give him a little job security. Still in the same school system fighting that same fight one game at a time, he passes those rec- ord setting mile posts wor- rying far more about the next game on his schedule than a current record . But new marks keep piling up like the points of his fast break- ing team this year. In De- cember, his unbeaten power- house won number 700 for him by defeating Ft. Stockton in the Tornado Tournament. At the end of the game Ray Renner pre- sented him with a special plaque. Mrs. Foil is was recognized for her devotion and support with a spray of red roses. The winning ball was snatched and given to Foil is by the team. In a special pep rally held later, he was downtown picking up a requisition for expenses in the night ' s out-of-town encounter when the Student Council had a presentation. His wife accepted in his absence. At the beginning of the 1974-75 season his rec- ord looked like this: 1 State Semi-finalist - 1970 1 State Finalist — 1973 Won or tied for District - 18 times Second in District - 7 times Third in District - 2 times Fourth in District - 1 time Best Seasons 1967 34-1 1970 32-2 1974 30-3 1966 30-4 1963 30-5 He has won 20 or more games 26 consecutive years, 25 or more games 15 times. Over the past 10 years he has won 288, lost 41 , has won or tied for district 9 times in a row . . . or every year since 1966. 58 of the losses have been by 5 points or less ... in- cluding 9 playoff game losses. Longest winning streak --27. Longest losing streak — 5, Last district game lost at home was to Level land in 1966-67 season. 75 of 171 losses have been in playoff games and to 4-A Won Loss teams.

Very few people paid any attention at all. Besides it being ex- tremely cold in the audi- torium, the presentations were not exceptionally in- teresting. After an extra long lunch break, the lec- tures began again, but there weren ' t many people to hear them since a majority of the students didn ' t return after lunch. Here are some com- ments made by students and teachers. Larry Wesson said, There were a couple that a few of the kids were half way in- terested in. But most of the students just took it as a day off. They need to divide the presentations up, and let the students choose which people to talk to, in- stead of having it all in one place. Kim Wright said, I think the organization of Career Day was the biggest farce a student body has ever seen. The speakers knew their fields and were very informative. But the way it was received was rude and uncomplimentary to their efforts. I understand that boredom is very easy to come by, but the virus needs to be annihilated. 1.

TORNADO, Lamesa, Texas, 1975, 9A A Sentimental Journey January 31, 1975, was officially proclaimed 50 ' s Day at Lamesa High by Stu- dent Council President Rex Keese— and it was so. Old cedar chests were reopened as the industrious tried to find the authentic. Others, either not as earnest, or lucky, rolled up Levis ' legs and pulled on a loose sweater. Saddle-oxfords were keen to walk down the halls in as Rock Around the Clock was played on the P. A. Hair, more than anything was the most noticeable change. Tubes of Brylcreme were used and ponytails and pin- curls became the fashion. Teachers, surprisingly, got into the act and managed to find something that still fit. Only the brave wore their outfits to the basketball game that night, but at 10 o ' clock everyone came to the dance in full fashion. The hours of practicing the jitterbug came in handy, and the floor was never empty . Shelly Montgomery and Andy Hackney, coming as a young coed and a thug, were selec- ted the Best Dressed . After all the years of laughing at parents ' annuals, the youth of the 70 ' s found why the last generation was called the happy days . What? A Jukebox! Since the middle of January, a strange sight is beheld by the eyes of anyone entering the LHS Student Center. On the back wall, in about the middle sits a jukebox. This music maker is not meant for just planned dances, but for use anytime. It is spon- sored by the Student Council not only for the pleasure it brings, but also for the money. Before school, during both lunches, and sometimes after school, the top hits can be heard blaring forth. Spontaneous dances were the big events at first, but as the novelty wore off these are fewer. Yet none seemed to tire of hearing the sounds emit from the machine. Often a game developes to see which song will be played first during lunch. Quarter after quarter is cliunked into the jukebox by an amazingly small few, but the music never stops. lOA TORNADO, Lamesa, Texas 1975 Snyder Challenges in Blood Drive Too! The race was on once again as Snyder ' s student body challenged Lamesa ' s in the Blood Drive, The campaign began, the event took place, and Lamesa pulled ahead for a decisive victory. Total pints were 62 for Lamesa, 47 for Snyder. Of the total, 48 pints were contributed by LHS students while Snyder students produced 10 of their 5 7 pints. Lamesa received a plaque from Snyder High, and students were fulfilled in that they contributed to a worthy cause. 1. Bob Hale donating blood during the drive. 2. The vital step. 3. Martha Pearce giving so that others may live. I think this is real impor- tant.

One such store profited by selling State Basketball shirts. A feeling of pride and pres- tige was created in wearing these shirts . During this school year students learned many things. Among these, they learned the joy of win- ning as well as the agony of defeat. 1. A Blood Drive Poster. 2. Rex Keese, Lamesa ' s Student Council President, beginning the race. 3.

P-f - O ' g School Song Changes Tradition My Alma Mater, I sing to thee Ideals that you gave me help me to see Things that are better and both good and true So I salute you, Alma Mater, Mine! This year the Middle School Band Director, Randy Shae- fer, rearranged and reharmo- nized the traditional school song . The melody and the words were not revised. The High School Band played the new arrangement during the Homecoming Pep Rally. The student body was surprised at the new change, but no doubt will soon become used to it. 12A TORNADO, Lamesa, Texas 1975 Spirit of ' 76 Begins Early 1.

TORNADO, Lamesa, Texas 1975 13A In preparation for the nation ' s 200th birthday, the city of Lamesa decided to open the celebration and have a spe- cial presentation of the Bi- centennial flag and certifi- cate, Lamesa ' s school sys- tem found time in it ' s hectic schedule for its students to witness the once-in-a-life- time event. Lamesa ' s Middle School Band began the occurrence by marching, followed by fron- tiersmen from O ' Donnell. The Air Force Base in Big f Spring sent a color guard with the LHS Band following. Brother Bill Hardage served as Master of Ceremonies and led everyone in the National Anthem. The invocation was given, followed by the recog- nition of certain dignitaries. Lamesa High Choral e De- partment presented Beck ' s Hymn of Our Time . The guest speaker was Sen- ator Kent Hance who spoke on the history of Texas and America. He stated that Texas was the leading Bi- centennial state. The Bi- centennial Flag and certifi- cate were presented by Ann Simmons, from Lubbock, and received by Mayor Lloyd Cline . The color guard raised the flags and the fron- tiersmen fired their muskets three times. The LHS Band played the Battle Hymn of the Republic to the pleasure of all . The program was con- cluded with a prayer. This presentation put every- one in the true spirit of the Bicentennial year to soon come. It made citizens aware of their pride in America and themselves, and their great heritage. 1. Theresa Early, Paula Cleveland, and Gayle Ranson intently watching the raising of the flags. 2.

One hundred ninety-four seniors were candidates for graduation Thursday, IVlay 29, 1975, 7:30 pm. They entered solemnly, prayed, saw members of tlie choir cry as it sang its farewell to the class of ' 75, heard the salutatorian and valedictorian speeches, and walked across the auditorium stage, clutching black folders that contained pre- cious diplomas; And as the cameras clicked and flash cubes exploded, the grad- uates sighed, turned their tassles, and sat down with one thought on their mind — It ' s over. They had just heard the addresses given by Sam Smiley and Billy Dyer urging them on to bigger worlds to improve on. Yet that meant nothing now, for they were ready to end, not begin. As the recessional flared up, a loud whoop was heard, accompanied by paper mortar boards being flung into the air. The parents chuckled-- a little--and the jubilant, dressed in gold paper gowns, rushed down the aisles, searching for someone to turn their senior rings. Quick exits were made, celebration was waiting for them, no time now for tomorrow. BELOW: Sam Smiley followed by Billy Dyer and the other ' 75 gra- duates. Paper Caps This is the second year for Lamesa High to use paper caps and gowns. Although they appear to be made of cloth, they are not and are totally disposable. Dis- cardable or not, special care had to be taken before wearing them. Instructions were read over the PA every day for the last two weeks, reminding seniors to use a cool iron and to hang them up to repel I wrinkles. Knowing one did not have to return the cap and gown prompted many to fling their cap into the air at the end of the graduation ceremonies, spiriting someone to say, I ' ve never seen THAT done before. . . -With Highest Honors The magna cum laude of the ' 75 graduating class were announced May 1. Heading the class were Sam Smiley and Billy Dyer. Following them were (in class order) Candy Barrington, Rex Keese, Jenny Orson, Leigh Parsons, Denise Treadway, Cathy Bizzell , Jamie Vandivere, and George Hansard. All of them were involved in various activities, and although they defy falling into any predetermined categories, they all seem to share some common traits. All ten plan to attend college this next fall . College plans include two going to each Rice, Texas Tech, and Baylor, and others attending UT at Austin, Air Force Academy, McMurray, and Southwest Texas. And interesting tid- bit is their rank in their families. Seven are either the oldest or only child, two are the youngest, and only one falls in the middle.

And of course, as expected, after the painting was com- pleted, some accomodating person splashed it.

This class did an outstanding job, raising the total needed for the activities of the year. The Olympics was their only money-making project, therefore a big turnout in fans and participants was guaranteed . The weather proved to be warm, the perfect day for bike racing. The event be- gan amid much excitment and confusion. The expres- sions on many faces ranged from happiness to looks of defeat. The money was counted and Lisa Montgomery, a senior, was named as the Senior Bike Olympics Queen. She was presented with a trophy by Tony Valdcrama, Junior Class President. The exciting day soon came to a close, with the Junior Class winning the Class Re- lays for the second consec- utive year. The class re- ceived a trophy, ample funds, a few minor cuts and bruises, and a day well worth re- membering. 1. Danny Flenniken, representing the Junior C lass, rushes up to get the trophy. 2.

Cheerleaders Tlic Sophomore Class this year, like any other year before cloesn t have miicli to do as shown by Anthony Manuel (1). Being a Sopho- more is like being the middle child in a family, they are too young, to do some of the tilings the Juniors and Sen- iors do and yet they are too old to be treated like Fresh- men. To some Sophomores in sports being star of the Freshmen team and then moving up to Junior Varsity or Varsity and having to sit on the bench was a great disappointment. L Lamesa, Texas, 1975, TORNADO, 21B Something new this year not only to the Sophomore Class but to the whole school was Junior Varsity Cheerleaders (l)-Mary Lou Gonzales, Sylvia Lucio, Suzie Beckmeyer, Shirley Anderson, and Sandra De La Garza-all sophomores. Sophomores may not do much on their own, but when there is an activity you can be sure the Sophomores will participate. Here Jay Plunkett is dressed for the 50 ' s Day (2). Sometimes Sophomores are a little late and slow about things but maybe Jo Beth Duncan can make her next class without being late. Sophomores may not add much, but this school could not be what it is without the Sophomore Class to help it along. 2B, TORNADO, Lamesa, Texas T TT The 1974-75 Freshman Officers were (LEFT TO RIGHT) Anita McColliim, secretary; Clay Wrtcjlit, vice president; Mark Hamilton, president; Hal Barron, boy ' s social chairman; and Sharia Tyler, girl ' s social chairman.

TORNADO, Lamesa, Texas, 1975, 27B Freshmen Invade LHS The freshman class entered LHS ready to add their two- bits. Because many schools still include ninth-graders in junior high, the freshmen have their own teams. Losing only one game in football, they added a bit of cheer to the fall sports (1). Enteringhigh school includes being able to attend the dances. Sharla Tyler and Joe Gandy (2) got into the swing at the 5 0 ' s Dance. Joining clubs is another segment enjoyde by the new class. Shery Pennington and Ella Bolton (3) found that along with the work is some fun at the Heritage Club Soul Dinner . But as freshmen, they must also learn to take the side- line.

After moving into the Super- intendent ' s office from the high school Principalship, he faced such problems as expanding services, espe- cially in the vocational area, building deficienccs in a modern middle school plant, and national publicity brought on by a pair of local policemen helping them- selves to sandwiches during a midnight pantry raid . The school passed evaluation by the Southern Association of Secondary Schools with a basketful of compliments and a handful of suggestions for areas needing improve- ment. His school board remained much the same with the ex- ception of Bob Brown, cur- rent president of the organi- zation, who decided after a number of terms not to seek reelection. The board, at- tempting to cut down on long meetings, met more often. Sometimes as many as two to three called monthly meetings brought the group together, but it still seemed impossible to complete dis- cussion before 1 or 2 a.m. Fred Wc.iver Rersoruwl Director Neal Chast.-iin Superintendent The results: a number of local businessmen, a farmer or two and the school super- intendent had to fight a little liardcr to make it out of bed and to work on Tuesday or Wednesday mornings.

Mr. Townley ' j wall helps emphasize the theme of American Literature. 3. Liberty Bell symbolizes freedom in America. A. America- Land of Opportunity . It is the American way of life to offer the opportunity to progress according to ones abilities. We finally extended this principle to cover educational courses; we called this phasing. We have provided a four-level turn pike to education; each student may move with ease and pleasure toward his goal Thus the democratic princi- ples of freedom and choice guide the teacher and the students to provide a more relaxed learning situation. The preceding is a defini- tion and view expressed by English teachers in Lamesa High School . TORNADO, Lamesa, Texas, 1975, 30 English courses this year have focused mainly on American Literature. This seems very appropriate and fitting since the United States is approaching its Bicentennial . English teachers have intro- duced their classes to many distinguished American authors, poets, playwrights, and other such influential persons. Noted authors which have been studied are Pearl Buck, Sinclair Lewis, John Steinbeck, Mark Twain, Ernest Hemingway, William Faulkner, Nathaniel Hawthorne, and Herman Melville. Renowned poets are Carl Sandburg, Robert Frost, E.E . Cummings, Ogden Nash, and Stephen Vincent Benet. Several prominent playwrights are Eugene O ' Neill, Tennessee Williams, and Thorten Wilder, English classes have recognized Clifton Fademan, a well-known book reviewer. Texas has recently paid tribute to J. Frank Dobie, a Texas author, teacher, and folklorist. English this year has told us the story of our American Heritage. 1. Theme of Amei-ican Literature ex- hibited on bulletin boards in English pod. 2. American Literature books are a necessity in the English classes. 3. Bulletin boards promote American Literature. AC TORNADO, Lamesa, Texas 1975 Haiku— Work of Art Several English classes studied Japanese haiku this year. Included in their study was writing lines of haiku and drawing illustrations. Below are two examples, contributed by Delfino Bor- rego and Bryan Archer. The work of several students was displayed in the showcase window by the library. Also this year, English classes have been involved in writing research papers. Topics included: Poets, Famous Americans, American 1. Haiku by Delfino Borrego. 2. Hail u by Bryan Archer. 3.

' — TORNADO, Lamesa, Texas 1975 5C Presidents, Presidents ' Wives, Famous American Places, Life Cycle of Chinese Liver Fluke, Students spent many hours reading, writing, and typing , Much to the students anguish, the phase four English class- es spent an extensive amount of time studying grammar. Each student worked in his own little workbook, being constantly reminded that it was only review, when ac- tually they had never seen any of it before. Included in this study were vocabulary exercises, diagramming sen- tences, and learning sentence structure . The English classes this year were interesting with a wide variety of studies. But the teacher and the students help make a class what it is. Kim Wright had this to say: The p hase system was total- ly new to me. Coming from Colorado, I found myself put in phase three, which was destined for failure in my mind. Soon moved to phase four I enjoyed it much more, especially once I got beyond the door after Miss Dolan ' s interrogation. I found her to be enjoyable with her little stories of her dog, etc . I was in this class for the re- mainder of the semester and enjoyed it very much, I found myself transferring to first period and encountered Jamie Vandivere, which was in it- self a moving experience . Soon I became familiar with the classroom routine and found Luke Norman and Mike Strahan to be the basic roll- ing-on-the -floor-si de-split- ting-laughter type of people. Now as I see the words of THE HOUSE OF THE SEVEN GABLES roll swiftly by my eyes I think back and realize how much fun English was this year, 1. Bill Bristow and Don Porterfield also study on the floor. 2. English Who ' s Who - Rex Keese and Anease Hale. 3. Some students still like to use their desks. Once you forget the novels, research papers, workbooks, flies, lectures, heat, rattling Venetian blinds, short stories, and other selected griefs, English was. . .a very in- teresting class. —J. Russell Hughes I feel that in many instances people are misphased and that phase three is often more difficult than phase four, —Tammy Hamilton The worst part of English is doing a research paper, much less two. —Anonymous 6C TORNADO Lamesa, Texas 1 975 Clint Scott Wins at Science Fair The Math and Science De- partments this year include physics, geometry, algebra, chemistry, biology, physical science, math analysis, trig, fundamentals of math, introductory algebra, and practical biology . There were four high school students entered in the sci- ence fair this year-Janie Johnson, Jeanette Scott, Claudette Alexander, and Clint Scott 1 . Clint Scott won top honors and a chance to go to the regional science fair in Alpine with his proj- ect on Laser Communications 1. I really enjoy teaching all classes-especially Physics, where we discuss the opera- tion of some very remarkable devices and the formulation of some very interesting physical laws . --Larry Page Physics My first year of leaching here at Lamesa has been very rewarding. My classes. Algebra 3-4, and FOM 3-4, and my students have taught me much more than any course I had In college. Although I leach math, I also hope that I am able to teach students. --Dolline McCrea Math TORNADO Lamesa, Texas 1975 7C The pliysics class was the scene of some unusual ex- periments this year. The class had been seen throwing tennis balls off the grand- stands in the stadium just to prove some physical proper- ties. If you happened to pass by the physics room fifth period on certain days you might see Mr. Page, the physics instructor, and his class having an old fashion shoot out. One of the strang- est experiments conducted this year was made by Jamie Vandivere and George Han- sard. They found a couple of rocks and rolled them along the ground to prove rolling stones gather no moss. There were some hair raising experiences too. Jamie Vandivere 1 . shows one by placing his hand on the vandegraph, a machine which charges a person with static electricity. The fourth period Biology II Class went to Cloudcroft, New Mexico on a field trip. The after school Biology II Class did some interesting things this year including disecting a pig embryo. Marilyn Webb 2 , conducts an experiment in the after school class. The chemistry class had a few interesting experiments and also blew up a few things . J i V ? v 8C TORNADO, Lamesa, Texas 1975 Smiley First in State Science Contest Lamesa High School was well represented in the Sci- ence area this year. Sam Smiley and Clint Scott were named Who ' s Who in Science and Sam was also named Who ' s Who in Math, Sam Smiley won first place in state competition in the science division. This was his third year to cjo to state since he has been in high school , The first year he went, he won eighth, and the second year he received second place , He has won the district and regional competi- tions three years in a row. At Alpine, the site of the regional science fair, three Lamesa High students won over half of the awards. Clint Scott won the Navy Award, American Speech and Hearing Association Award, NASA Award, Pickett Slide Rule Award, and second place in Engineering, Jean- ette Scott received a second place in Biology, and Janie Johnson, a second place in Medicine and Health . The first semester in the after school Biology II class the students studied radio- active beans and corn and learned how to make slides of root tips . The second se- mester embryology was stud- ied. They studied extensive- ly the development from the zygote to the fetal stage and drew slides of 10mm pig embryo slices . After that was completed they started dis- secting a fetal pig. First they skinned and identified sixty major muscles, then went into the body cavity, diges- tive system, eyes and brain. 1. Leigh Parsons in Biology 2. Sam Smiley and Clint Scott-Who ' s Who. 3.

The classes have been most bene- ficial and mentally stimulat- ing, —Jamie Vandivere . . .Besides, what ' s a better way to spend your life than studying your radicals and linear equations all night? —Susan Smiley . , .The things we learned in Biology are purely aca- demic; it ' s the perseverance and detemiinedness we ac- quired that are the lasting virtues of zero-hours course. ' —Tammy Hamilton TORNADO, Lamesa, Texas 1975 9C The Early Bird Gets the License The Driver ' s Education stu- dents stumble out of bed each morning, trying to make it to school in time for their 7:30 class. There are a few late ones in every class, and also a few who manage to fall asleep. In general though, nearly everyone agrees it is worth getting up an hour ear- lier to receive their driver ' s license , There are three driver ' s ed teachers: Coach Follis, Mr, Keese and Mr, Robertson, The classes, composed mostly of freshmen and sophomores, meet every morning at seven thirty. The student must be at least fif- teen by April 1 to be in the class. There is class room instruction from the first of April to the end of school . Around the last of school each student who has the re- quired number of hours is allowed to take the written part of the driver ' s test. During the summer each stu- dent must drive and observe the required number of hours, and then when they turn 16 they are allowed to go down and take their driving test. If past, the long and early hours are worth it. I feel that Driver ' s Ed is a very helpful course in that it gives you in- formation on driving techniques that could be very helpful in the future and might teach you one thing that would save your life, —Danny Norton Driver ' s Ed is one of the few courses you can take in high school and immediately recognize the benefits. It is some- thing everyone should experience, — Brenda Hughes IOC, TORNADO, Lamcsa, Texas, 1975 History Shapes Future Events I think it probable that civ- ilization someliow will last as long as I care to look ahead ... I think it not im- probable that man--like the grub that prepares a chamber for the winged thing it never has seen but is to be--that man may have cosmic des- tinies that he does not un- derstand . And so beyond the vision of battling races and an impoverished earth I catch a dreaming glimpse of peace. --Justice Oliver Wendel Holmes 1. American History and Contemporary Social Problems students recently studied capital punishment. These are the results. 2. Mrs. Wright averages her students grades. 3. Every student is required to take American History. These students are eager to learn. 4. Miss Lishman discusses grades with Denise Little and Edward Gordon. The present depends on the past and shapes the future. History helps students to ask significant questions about people and society. It teaches an appreciation of freedom of social responsi- bility and the worth of human beings including one- self. --Diane Wright History TORNADO, Lamesa, Texas, 1975, 110 1.

A poster to go along with the study of capital punishment. 4. Collective bargaining Is also a topic studied by American History students. Activities in different liistory courses vary as much as the students wlio take them. These differences provide a variety of courses for which the students are to select. A few of these courses are Texas History, American History, World History, World Geography, Civics, and Contemporary Social Problems. A new Course is to be offered next year, Sociology-Psycology , There are various areas of interest in history for each and every individual, for the past, the present, and the future is something that affects us a! 12C TORNADO, Lamcsa, Tozas 1975 Civics Inspires New Ideals 1. Sherry Rebber working on a Civics paper. 2. Cheryl Mills discussing her v;ork with Mr. Bryson. 3. Theresa Owens trying to complete her work in the essential Civics class. 4. Who ' s Who in Social Sciences were Tommy Corley and Candy Barrington. L « Civics has proved lo be not only an interesting and color- ful class, but also a bcnificial one. Besides learning the skeleton and framework of our governmental system, I have learned the specifics of government and the many areas our government is in- volved in. Mr. Bryson Is a learned man in this field and teaches the course very well. While providing the class with basic details on the federal government, Mr. Bryson also gives us a chance to talk about current events. The course helps a student to understand our government and its many integral parts, but on a level one can easily understand. --Luke Norman TORNADO, Lamesa, Texas 1975 130 Foreign Languages Develop Culture Appreciation The foreign languages of- fered at LHS are Spanish and Frencli, with Spanish being by far the most popular. Three classes of Spanish I and two Spanish ll-lll class- es are taught by Mrs. Carmen Amaro. The loosely struc- tured classes place an em- phasis on the Spanish spoken in Mexico rather than Castillian Spanish . Mrs. Nancy Koger teaches only two French classes, one French I and one French II . Both classes are rather small . Projects have included a class written and produced play based on Goldilocks and the Three Bears, Plans were also made to attend the Quarternion ' 75 at Permian High School in Odessa. This foreign language festival in- cludes entries from French, Spanish, German, and Latin departments at surrounding high schools. Facilities in the foreign lan- guage department are slowly expanding. Head phones are in wider use this year and the teachers make use of visual aids. 1. Reanna Groat takes advantage of headphones during a French I class. 2. French Who ' s Who, Alison Hatchett. 3. Spanish Who ' s Who, Cynthia Snell. Learning to speak Span- ish opens many new op- portunities toward com- munications With fellow Mexican-American stu- dents . — Crystie Barrington Studying another lan- guage not only teaches one that new language, but teaches him vocabu- lary and grammar in English . Learning an- other language involves learning customs and attitudes of people in other countries. I think it makes us more inter- ested in world news and politics. It makes us more alive! —Mrs . Nancy Koger 4._. 14C TORNADO, Lamesa, Texas, 1975 In Journalism I, each student has tlie opportunity to earn extra credit writing news, editorials, and features for the TORNADO OBSERVER. (1) Delia Gonzales is writing news. Copy editing is a big part of journalism. Students copyread newspaper stories imposing the school ' s style rules. (2) Sandra Martinez and Jackie Bell copyread articles for the TORNADO OBSERVER. Every student prepared an oral report on tlie history of press freedom. All reports vyere based on outside read- ing. (3) Paula Cleveland and Ami Archer work on theirs in the School Library. Students in Journalism I become associated with newspaper page layouts. They construct page layouts with writing and headlines. (4) Betty Morales draws her layout in class. Hundreds of mimeographed pages were collected by the students. Everyone was required to keep a notebook. (5) Eddie Spencer and Billy Bolton staple another packet. ( TORNADO, Lnmesa, Texas, 1975 150 Newspaper Gains State ' s Top Ratin Kathy Freeman-News Editor Sue Womack-Advertising Editor Bill Caskey-Reporter Terry Bond-Reporter Hoby Woods-Reporter This year, the paper staff spent many Sunday after- noons at school designing advertisements, finishing stories, and writing headlines. The TOR NARDO OBSERVER won second place in the Interscholastic League Press Conference in Austin, Kathy Freeman won second in the ILPC sports feature writing contest. Bill Caskey placed fourtfi in the ILPC news writing division in district, after being on the staff Just since mid-semester. Kathy also placed fourth in feature writing. This year for the third year in a row, the newspaper staff lost its editor at mid term when Sandy Womack became Sandy Abies, and moved to San Marcos. So the staff finished the year witliout an editor. The TORNADO OBSERVER featured many major stories. Several are: Coach Follis ' 700th victory, Sam Smiley topping class of 194 grad- uates. Homecoming adn Twirp Week. At the beginning of the year, after the first two issues of the paper were out, the staff began doing their own composition, which is the process of completely past- ing the pages of the news- paper. By doing this task themselves, the staff saved money, and acquired an enjoyable skill . 16C, TORNADO, Lamcsa, Texas, 1975 Music, Art Offer Diversion From Required Subjects The drama class presented the 3-act play Harvey this year. The crowd both nights was very good. They worked very hard and had many late rehersais, but all of the work produced an excellent play. Jackie Bell and Steve Duval I are helped by Miss Cynthia Turnbow during one of the dress rchcrsals. 1. They also presented A Doll ' s House by Hcnrik Ibson to Lamesa fans and then took it on to the district one-act play contest in Sweetwater. Members of the cast were Res Kccse, Deby Walters, Kenneth Wiley, Jackie Bell, Joe Heath, and Anease Hale. They also produced anotlier 3-act play Mousetrap , a mystery by Agatlia Christie. At the first of the year they presented a talent show en- titled School Daze with many great acts and a great pantomine group. The choirs liave done an ex- cellent job this year with a Christmas concert and one in March . Mr. Wesson, choral director, states that, Having all the choirs, the classes are more select than the normal class . . . The kids overall, work very hard and accomplish a lot to be proud of. The Music Theory class, which studies music composition, has learned a lot this year and they have also had a lot of fun. I have always enjoyed working with my hands- drawing, painting, sewing, carving ... I get much sat- isfaction in lielping students develop their creativity and skills and seeing them enjoy activities that they will be able to use when they leave scho ol. --Marie Stewart Art I ' ve been rewarded this year by having students who are eager to work and who take pride in what they do. This has been particularly true in relation to our drama produc- tions. It ' s great J --Cynthia Turnbow Drama Lamesa, Texas, 1975, TORNADO, 17C The art classes this year have clone some interesting things. One student. Ton! Martens, painted a picture which was hung on display in the hospital . Other stu- dents have won awards at fairs and various other places. They etch and make charcoal drawings. Some of the students have made clay pottery. They also have had displays on the bulletin board by the library.

A choir is a team, and every member must put forth his share.

Activities in these classes consist of tag football, bas- ketball, volleyball, softball, track, badminton, golf, and calesthenics. This diversity provides exercise both phys- ically and mentally and also creates a sense of competi- tion. Another side of Girl ' s Athletics consist of the only seasonal sport that Lamesa offers to its female students, volleyball , This is an ad- vantage to those who wish to participate in this sport, but a drawback to those inter- ested in other competitive sports than this . Attempts have been made for a girl ' s track team and bas- ketball team. The vital de- cision rests on the shoulders of the school board. 1.

Young men have the advantage over fe- males in that they are select to have the opportunity of being offered athletics during all seasons. As soon as one seasonal sport ends, the next one begins, witli the disad- vantage of a few sports coin- ciding with the one previous. This enables athletic partici- pants of being offered the op- portunity of lettering in more than one sport, depending on classification and skill.

One reason could be its offering courses for all levels of students: General Business, 9-10; Typing, 9-12; Recordkeeping, 10- 12; Business Law, 11-12; and Accounting, 11-12. The most popular business class is Typing. Since it can be taken for a half year, it is a widely chosen filler. Students completing the course have found it inval- The business depart- ment meets the needs of the students. It not only prepares them for busi- ness fields, but also for their own personal needs . —Emma Floyd A major difficulty in the business department is the classes such as shorthand which are only scheduled once a day and exclude many students in band, cosmetology, Ag, etc. —Israel Valencia uable in other classes . The classrooms, although in need of modernized equip- ment, are supplied with in- structors having majors in the business field. Several former business stu- dents from LHS tiave re- ceived college degrees in business. But the department is varied enough to allow some to go straight into a job from high school training. And those who do not use these skills directly find them very beneficial for their own personal use. TORNADO, Lamesa, Texas 1975 230 1. Sharia Garrett in Bookkeeping. 2.

All are classes ranging from one to three periods with ICT, DE, and VOE having cooperatives with local business. To the hun- dreds of students never entering the Vocational Building it is a mysterious quarter. But any fears are quickly dispelled as one enters. In its fiftli year of use, the walls are still clean and trash is rarely found on the floor. Comforts not found in the main building include central heating and air conditioning and refrig- erated water fountains. At the first door to the left is the Cosmetology lab where work stands, sinks, and hairdryers are found. The classroom contains the regu- lar desks and is bountiful with chalkboards. The whole atmosphere is one of clean- liness and order. In order to be qualified to be enrolled in cosmetology the student must be 16 years old . So far all applicants have been girls but boys are allowed and encouraged to join the class. All equip- ment is used with no cost as long as it is returned in good condition, clientel is re- turned In good condition. Each class is three hours each day for two years, meeting the state board re- quirement for 1500 hours. An average class consists of one hour of theory and two hours of lab. The theory in- struction is varied and in- cludes the basic techniques, body anatomy, electric Working with the girls the way I do enables me to help them far more than the aver- age classroom situation would. Because we have three hours a day , we are able to answer their ques- tions more than superfici- ally. --Connie Edwards Vocational courses give the student something he can do to earn money and see a finisfied result. --Mannon Newman [T J ii: v4t,a iona,l Pe A i Qos roonri ' y urnj: jviv CosmttolO TORNADO, Lamesa, Texas, 1975, 25C safety, and cosmetics and their contents.

After a confidence between the students atid the scissors develop , they graduate to cutting liair on each other. Astonishir, ' y enough, no serious mist ' ' es have been encountered, l rs. Edwards credits this to the girls ' shy- ness toward clipping much hair away so that any mis- takes are easily corrected. Across the hall from the Cosmetology lab is the Building Trades class. The room is tall and filled with projects. Dark when the overhead door is closed, the room is supplied with work and study areas. Due to the lack of funding at the beginning of the school year, some projects have not been completed — such as the home at South 6tli and Y begun in the fall. During the winter students built storage houses. Tv.o classes, three periods each, study theory and application. 1. Terry York and her model Pam MiMer after the SkHls Speed Contest. 2.

Students in these classes learn such things as stock nutrition, the various seeds, feeds and hybrids. Tractor and farm machinery opera- tion and mechanics is an important part of the class. Because of their involve- ment in FFA, tlie parlia- mentary procedure is studied. In the main building the Homemaking Department consists of three levels. Each of these teaches some basics--Child Development, Housing and Home Manage- ment, Family Living, Con- sumer Education, Clothing and Textiles, Foods and Nutrition— but with each level becoming more ad- vanced. Two semester courses. Family Living and Consumer Education, are also offered. At the far e K of the Voca- tional Building is the Auto Mechanics garage. Cars are repaired and overhauled in class, often the students own cars. A tool supply room houses the equipment and hydraulic jacks dot the floors, m « . «« k. TORNADO, Lamesa, Texas, 1975, 27C 1.

The initials CVAE stand for Coordinated Vocational Academic Education, which actually explains what the whole class is about. Parts of English, Math, and science are taught in rela- tion to the vocational in- struction on industrial sewing. The first year in CVAE is used in Icarninq tlie basics. Each girl is required to sew four garments for her- self. In second year Textil ' , Fabrication, the students do public sewing and try increasing speed. Eight garments are necessary for them. Total girls in both classes run between 15 and 20, with ten machines in the room and several working desks. Although they are taught how Dotty Dan makes pattern, they use premade patterns found in stores. The OEA-VOE classes in the main building are sec- retarial training. In the two hour lab class operation of business machines--ten key adding machine, electronic calculators, printing dupli- cators, stencil , offset press, typing, trans- scribing, and key punch — and office etiquette are taught. The only require- ments are at least a junior status and one year of typing. The equipment used in the lab is very modern and in good repair. Often set in five stations, they allow an office simulation and interaction. The Cooperative is one hour of class instruction and working at a local business one half day.

Art and crafts is taiiglit by Mr, Tom Oliver, and woodworking is taught by Mr. Lowell Weaver. James Parham was named Who ' s Who in Indus- trial Arts. In the arts and crafts class they have made rings, bas- kets, cake knives, candle holders, and plastic items among other things. Tliey also have made engraved leather billfolds, metal carv- ings, and decorative bottles with chairs in them to sell . Often, as one is walking down the hall, especially by the English rooms, the smell of sawdust, and the sound of hammers pounding, and saws going through wood greet the nose and ears. These smells and noises can be found com- ing from the Woodworking or shop class. They have made things such as gun racks, book cases, cabinets, and end tables. Many of the stu- dents are able to sell their finished products. With a little skill these students are able to use their training and make a small profit. 1. James Partiam-Who ' s Who 2.

It is nice for those who read for pleasure; but is especially nice for tliose students who are responsible for research papers. Ms. Scotland Ms. Smith are always willing and ready to assist in any way. Students who have a little extra time like to escape to the library to read a magazine. Many students searching for a more informal atmosphere, just enjoy studying in the library. Also, for those teachers who fancy a game of chess now and then, tlic library provides for tfiem a quiet sanctum, away from tfie usual rat race. So while we, the students and faculty, relish the con- veniences and advantages of the library, Ms. Scott spends hours pouring over NEW YORK TIMES Book Review section and review- ing Best-Seller lists. She expresses the belief tliat LHS students are mature enough to judge the literature they read and part of their education comes from having the best from which to select. Another grant in mid-March gave Ms. Elizabetli Scott just the opportunity she had hoped for-the chance to order more books. Immediately she contacted department heads to see if tliey had special requests. But ordering books is only part of alibrarian ' s job. Probably the biggest challenge is keeping up with the ones that already belong to die school . During tlie year, many books are checked out. So the list of over due books and fines placed regularly in the teachers ' boxes grows with each passing day, as does the number of missing books. Before nine weeks tests, administrators join tlie librarian in telling students tliat they must return or pay for books. This requirement prompts a frantic search through hall locker debris, a check in lost and found, and sometimes a plea to home . . . help me find that book , Finally names are cleared from the library list.

TORNADO, Lamesa, Texas, 1975, 3D Freshmen Choose Friendliest % mm The 1974-75 school year began differently than any other. Highlighting the change was tlie Howdy Dance. The school day began just as any other would ... lost Freshmen, schedule changes, new teachers, greeting old friends, discussing the long, languid days of summer, and getting a hurried date for the night ' s dance. The football team scrimmaged Kermit and lost. The weather changed, and what everyone thought was to be another warm, summery night sudden- ly turned into a rainstorm. The girls sat in pouring rain with melting make-up and frizzy hair huddled together for warmtli. They wondered how their date ' s mood would be affected if we lost the scrimmage. The boys out on the field were thinking, Wonder if she saw that, better remember not to brag, or even in some cases, Oops, hope she didn ' t see that. The girls, waiting impatient- ly outside the field house, betting on who would come out next, began to get nerv- ous. Dates were claimed and everyone went to the dance wondering who would be deemed Howdy Queen and King. The Freshman chose Nancy Renner and Brian Meeks because of their friendliness. The Howdy Dance was a success, and everyone soon became caught up in the activities of the year. 4D, TORNADO, Lamcsa, Texas, 1975 TORNADO, Lamesa, Texas, 1975, 5D The Halls of Lamesa High Are the mainstream and life of the school. For the beginning freshmen the halls are the first section of the building greeted. And the departing seniors must walk down them one last time. For everyone that enters the first impres- sion comes from the halls. Before 8:20, the halls are not very busy . A few teachers can be seen picking up supplies at the media center or coming from the lounge. Even fewer students can be found getting absence permits in the office. But, when the bell signals the entry, the halls are instantly crowded with people and sounds. Books are grabbed from lockers and a constant slamming of metal doors can be heard. The halls are lined with couples, lingering until the last seconds. Between classes is much the same. During the day the halls can become a semi-home away from home. Each student has a locker assigned to him somewhere down the lengths of the halls. Books are kept inside the lockers, and mem- ories are made outside them. Athletes can find little notes of encouragement before games taped to their lockers. If one wants to find someone else, it is a close bet that he can be found at his locker. The hurried five minutes be- tween classes leave a mark upon the locker — crammed papers, torn book pages, and piled books. An increasing trend to share several lockers has become more evident. Just throw your books in the nearest friend ' s locker. A home away from home — good grief, it is a little hard to get sentimental about two walls pierced with doors standing ajar. The floors usually have paper scattered about. Only every other light is on, and even these are too many because an incessant buzz can be heard emitting from them. The walls have no exciting color scheme and the drab brown lockers lack any sparkle. Several doors want for adequate locks and knobs. All in all the picture is totally unexciting . k cJL But for most of the LHS stu- dents, four years are spent traveling up and down these halls. Usually no one notices the appearance of the halls, but to all they are readily recognizable. And to all classes they will be the core of the building and main- stream of the affairs at LHS.

Marching 124 musicians, Mr. Bill Brown began his third year at LHS with a firm reputa- tion from the last years. Drum majors Bill Bristow and Rusty Hughes helped in direction while Valerie Dopson lead the varsity troupe of twirlers—Eddy Kay Bray, Dee Ann Daffern, Joan Light, and Marilyn Webb. The band added a sparkle to the halftimes at football games that were often dom- inated by disappointment. A bit of the unusual was evidenced by spectators at the Carlsbad game when the band marched in blue jeans and white shirts because of a delay in receiving the new uniforms. Besides new uni- forms, a new twist was added to the Contest show-- an eight-point star. Contest came on a cloudy November 6, with the re- sults equally gloomy. Two second divisions and one first division resulted in a second division rating. They conducted two money raising projects during the fall semester. Between the magazine sales, and fruit cake sales, they made enough money to go to the San Antonio Fiesta. Melody Hogg and Debra McCormick sold enough magazine subscriptions to each take a tape system home. In the fruit cake sales, Joe Gonzales and George Vera earned a television each. 8D TORNADO, Lamesa, Texas 1975 First Division First in Years for Golden Tor Band Bb CLARINET Marquita Ballew Bertha Barron Eddy Bray Hector Cantu Karen Capps Elda Chapa Lisa Crawford Dec Afin Daffren Jo Beth Duncan Cheryl Dycjs Cindy Flanagan Jana Goforlh Kim Grven Yolanda Htrnandtz Melody Hoqg KIni Houston Brenda Hughes Janie Johnson Joan Light Cindy Macias Linda IVIagallan TonI Martens Sara Martin Yolanda Martinez Nancy Ortiz Eslelle RarT)irez Gracie Reyes Vickie Sanipley Oalcyn Schwartz Teresa Smith Brenda Vaughn Anita Vargas Sandy Wilson Kathy Yates Penny York CORNET Johnny Barrera Rhonda Bristow Leroy Campbell Joe Chavez Billy Dyer Steve Dyer Larry Factor Richard Garza Chuck Goad Daniel Gonzales Ernest Gonzales Joe Gonzales Jimmy Gordon Lcc Hernandez Jane Hill Cheryl Holt Glenn Lobstein Johnny RattioS Carlos Rodriguez Terry Sampley Ricky Slatton Susan Smiley Sheila Tapley JimrTiy Trevino Freddie Vargas TROMBONE Phil Aslin Kerry Bedwell Bill Bristow Don Bristow Doug Monix Brian Morris Curtis Ratzlaff Ronnie Seal Sam Smiley Robert Trevino FLUTE Laura Clark Linda Cleniens Debbie Davis Sheila Easley Cari Griffin Gaylc Griffin Alison Hatchctt Sylvia Hernandez Patricia Howard Debbie Jarrclt Karia Kecse Arlcne McCollufTi Pan) McCormick Patricia Oliver SAXOPHONE James Allred Tony Barrientos George Dominguez Valerie Dopson Jerry Doss Ricky Dunlap Cindijo Johnson Ray Mojica Felix Reyes Danny Ruiz Peggy Seal Wes Tune BASS CLARINET Claudette Alexander Janet Conawa y Nortiia Couturier Becky Hayes BASSOON Candy Barringlon OBOE Rusty Hughes BASS CLARINET Daria Lcathersvood Marilyn Webb Jeannette Summers BARITONE Mark Hill Anita McCollum Gary Mensch Ricky Smith George Vera ALTO CLARINET Oebra McCormick Sara Ybanez PERCUSSION Royce Crow Susan Light Mark Maule Rudy Ortez Kym Peterson Mark Pruitt Clovia Riggen Ronnie Seal Terry Seay Nathan Shofner Terry Stogner Bill Stringer Corky Thomas Tony Valderrama BASS Donnie Dingus Corndus Jackson Sammie Jefferson Danny Leal Jessie Lopez James Norton FRENCH HORN Sid Applin Reanna Groat Janies Medlin Stan O ' Ncil Russ Pinkerton Gary Shcrbert Kevin Spears TORNADO, Lamesa, Texas 1975 9D Jubilation Joy — W.X%M Ecstasy — No Words Express That Emotion Even shock cannot express the tingle that flowed through the Golden Tor Band at Con- cert and Sightreading Contest when two first divisions were posted on the auditorium wall of Monterrey High School in Lubbock. Cheers rose from the cluster of eager students and parents gathered on the steps. A few tears were shed.

They were called on two additional times. . .botfi times parades opening festivities. San Antonio Fiesta The batid left for the Fiesta at San Antonio the Thursday after contest. The days sandwiched between these two big events were spent learning music and parade marching. A sudden cold- spell caused tlie outside work to be slightly miserable. But the cold weather did not follow the yellow dogs to San Antonio. Because tlie Golden Tor Band marched near tlie end of the parade, more tlian a couple of tiours were spetit in formation — just waiting. After they began marching the heat and tlie weariness were intensified by the San Antonio sun. This parade was the shorter of the two marched in. The longer one was in the Saturday night cool with the brightest lights coming from tlie TV cameras ' lighting. Some very vivid stories were heard Monday morning about ones who became dreadfully sick and had to drop out of the parade, others who were also sick but stuck it out , and those who laughed at tlie others who were sick. Tales of how water had be- come a prime commodity after tlie parade and how marchers were dripping like flies, also abounded. Saturday was spent doing various activities.

TORNADO, Lamesa, Texas, 1975, 29D Cars, Lots Indicate LHS Pulse If the streets are the veins of modern society, the auto- mobile is the blood and par- king lots are the heart. And what holds true about cars for the rest of the world can be said for Lamesa High. Every school morning cars driven by a majority of the licensed and some unli- censed drivers are pumfDed into the dirt parking lots surrounding the high school. Spots directly adjacent to the school are at a premium causing some students to be at school before eight to catch a vacant place. The impact of cars is espe- cially evident at lunch time when students in search of a better place to eat migrate toward the local drive-ins and quick eateries in cars. Often eight people are crammed in one car, leaving little room for the food. Cars slowly drizzle out of the parking lots at fourth period — students on a working program — until the 3:25 bell rings. A sudden rush for the cars causes minor jams with most cars gone in ten minutes. A few cars still remain . . . teachers, seventh hour classes, atliletics, extra- curricular projects, and evening college classes. Slowly, one-by-one, the cars depart until the lots are empty, waiting for the next day . SOD TORNADO, Lamesa, Texas 1975 FHACan Include Guys Look on the Back Row r ;:«T .

I If TORNADO, Lamesa, Texas 1975 39D FFA Enter and Judge at Stock Shows Probably the most visible memory Lamesa folks have of the FFA Is the conces- sion stand at home football games. Forfeiting the chance to view the game from the stands, members sold sandwiches, candy, and hot and cold drinks to the throngs. Patience was a prime commodity, especially during halftime and third quarter break for the two bands. But they did not spend their whole time as candy men (and women). They spent several months on a stock show circuit, going to El Paso, Dallas, San Anton and Houston. After this, their judging team judged stock, crops, and soils. 10, 1. 1974-75 Officers: (FROIMT ROW) Lee Barron, District Secretary; Greta Wilson, Sweetheart; Cindy Bartlett, secretary (BACK ROW) BiMy Ray IVlayfield, treasurer; Lyndon Whisenant, vice-president; Bert Wristen, president; and Don Porterfield, reporter.

It not only provides an outlet for student leader- ship, but maintains a relay stream between the faculty and t}ie student body. This system is essentia! to any school tliat has any sort of communication at all . 1.

Many of these activities were centered around competition with Snyder. The Blood Drive was set up in this light and Lamesa won. A plaque was sent and also an apology plaque for the rock throwing incident. Each one of these occurances were clustered around Student Council in- volvement. The Council set up the Telethon, 50 ' s Day, the Blood Drive, and planned nwny otiier events. These activities contributed to the involvement of the student body and therefore to the unity of the school . 1.

The Tors were behind in scoring and statistics, when Jerry Williams kicked an 18 yard field goal with 7 minutes left in the game, bringing the Tors ahead. Lamesa 12 Denver City The Tornadoes flattened the Mustangs in the second game of the season, Melvin Robinson ran the ball in with a one yard carry, set up by Jay Newbrough. Eddy Pearson activated the scoreboard again, with a 35 yard interception. Lamesa Pecos 10 The Tors lost to the Pecos Eagles for their first defeat of the season. Their record stand- ing 2-1 as they waded tlirough the mud. Lamesa 38 Reagan County 12 Lamesa plucked the Owls in the Tors fourth game of the season. The Tornadoes had a total of 375 yards rushing compared to Regan County ' s 157, vyith three Lamesa backs breaking the magic 100 yard rushing mark. Lamesa Snyder 20 The Tors were defeated as they traveled to Snyder for their first district game. The Tiger defense held Lamesa scoreless and thus began our losing season. Lamesa 6 Lakeview 16 The Lakeview Chiefs defeated the Lamesa Tornadoes in score only. The Tornadoes led in statistics with 165 yards gained in contrast to the Chief ' s 115. Lamesa fumbled tlie ball many times, accounting for a low score. The second half was a defensive battle, with Bruce Beck loading Lamesa ' s defense. Lamesa Dunbar 9 The Tornadoes were defeated playing for their Homecoming game. Their strong defense could not overcome the Panther ' s overpowering of- fense. The Tor attack gained only 69 yards, while Dunbar accumulted 199 yards in total offense. Lamesa 7 Brownfield 8 The Brownfield Cubs gave Lamesa a bitter loss by a crucial one |)oint. In statistics. The Tors were ahead. The Lamesa Tornadoes had a total of 133 yards in rushing compared to the Cub ' s 202, Lamesa Estacado 28 The Tornadoes were flattened once again in district action. Their strong defense didn ' t hold against the Matadors, while the Tor ' s offense couldn ' t seem to get past Estacado ' s defense. The Tornado offense again fell victim to the loose football, having lost pos- session of the ball 5 out of 7 times from fumbles. Lamesa 39 Sweetwater 24 The Mustangs were bucked off as Lamesa won it ' s only district game of the season. Tlie vic- tor turned out to be Lamesa with 354 total yards gained, while Sweetwater had 306, What was expected to be a defensive battle took a turn and ended up as an offensive race. r 1 1 TORNADO, Lamesa, Texas, 1975, 47D First of Season Goes Wei The 1974-1975 football season started with high hopes, a new coaching staff, and a relatively young team. Five starting players re- turned, one on offense, and four on defense. Tom Koger had his first opportunity as head coach, while several other coaches had their opportunities of coaching varsity. Coach Koger was assisted by a staff of Tommy Doyle, Tommy Thornhill, and Harvey Everheart. The first of the season shone with enthusiasm, constant encouragement from the crowds; but once beginning, there is no turning back. As the mighty Tors began to taste the bitterness of defeat, they had to face harsh reality. Many dreams were shattered and spectators began to dis- appear one by one, leaving the true Tornado fans and the team that never gave up.

This year, the Tors kept their spirit, trying not to remember, for there was no time to look back. For some, they would hopefully have many games playing on the Tornado team. For a few, this was their last high-school season. They had wished to prove something to themselves and to others, only to find that their obvious desires would not be fulfilled. The team that worked together should be staisfied to know that they had done their best. 1. Touchdowns were so few and far between, they sometimes seemed to be a fantasy. 2. The number of in- juries this season seemed more numer- ous than any year previous. Many players spent long hours in the whirl- pool, being taped up, or simply re- cuperating. 50D, TORNADO, Lamesa, Texas, 1975 1.

Greta was chosen for her contribution of time and devotion to the team. Greta is Varsity cheerleader and was the Junior class rep- resentative in the Home- coming Court. Coach Crouch has a quick word with a player before the ball is put into ac- tion. The Coach ' s advice obviously paid off, the Freshman had an 8-1 record. 52D, TORNADO, Lamcsa, Tcxai, 1975 Squad Boasts Seventeen A total of seventeen cheer- leaders joined the LHS squad. This includes five Seniors, two Juniors, five Sophomores, and five Freshmen. The Varsity cheerleaders are a repeat of last year with two Juniors added. With a class first semester set aside for cheer practice, the caliber and variety of yells increased this year. The Junior Varsity cheer- leaders, are a new facet added to the group. They were elected last spring by the now Sophomore class, and arc all from the class of ' 77. Giving a new dimension to the J.V. games, the girls were at almost all home games, but rarely traveled. Like the J.V. ' s the Fresh- men cheerleaders were elected by only one class. Since most had been on the squad in junior high, not many mistakes were made after the early year jitters and giggles at the P. A. system were over. I. Amy Greshem, Fresh 2. Mary Lou Gonzales, JV 3.

Many times their efforts are to no avail, but they are a unifying force for the fans.

And when another point has been added to increase the margin over a bitter rival, these girls help channel the spirit. The preparation for each game starts much before the season starts. It means a week of intensive drilling during the summer in Dallas. After school has started again, there are many after- noons of practice. Their duties are not limited to just the sidelines. They work alongside the Booster Club, placing placards on the lockers of the players, giving a sign of encourage- ment. At the games they must act as ambassadors which often means exchanging anecdotes with the other school ' s cheerleaders. Any activity in the school used to promote spirit or involvement finds the cheerleaders helping to lead the way . . . even if it means they must dare the unusual . 54D, TORNADO, Lamesa, Texas, 1975 L-L-LAM E-E-ESA During football season, the thing that distinguishes Fridays from other days (be- sides the fact that they end the school week) is a pep rally. Pep rally s are a time for the members of the stu- dent body to unite and show their spirit and support their team. Much preparation and cooperation is required for a successful pep rally. The Cheerleaders and Booster Club Officers perform their endless tasks without com- plaint. Around 3:00, the Band, the Booster Club Officers and the Cheerleaders arc released to their respective places. Then, when the bell rings, everyone storms down the halls. As the gym fills, the Band plays, and cliants infiltrate the air. Suddenly the Band booms out with the Fight Song . Breaking through the sign that spans the doorway, the team enters and advances to their designated chairs. The Cheerleaders lead the stu- dents through several yells. And the Twirlers arc always ready to step through a flashy routine. If the spirit rises high enough, the person sitting on top of the spirit ladder gets a pie in his face. Next, there is a pep talk given by a team member of some other well known personage. At the closing of the pep rally, the Band again strikes up the Fight Song , as the team departs from the gym, and thus ends another pep rally. 1. Ronnie OavIs leads the team into the gym. 2.

A practice game was scheduled with Snyder, after that, two more games and we had a trip to State. Time was to show that it wasn ' t as easy as all that. The game with Snyder was more of a battle, not of skill, but with opposing emotional forces clashing. HElii,,.«ni«HH| A fight exploded on the court, resulting in two players being benched, one of Snyder ' s, the other, our own. Leaving Snyder proved to be harder than entering it. Two Snyder college students tailed our homeward bound bus. Rocks were thrown resulting in the breakage of mirrors, windows, and good feelings. Within a few days the school received a letter of apology from Snyder ' s Student Council President. Letters from the two boys who committed these acts were received by the news- paper apologizing, offering to pay for the damages, and congratulating the Tors on their undefeated season and wishing us the best of luck. After the rough game with Snyder, the Tors traveled to Abilene to play Brown- wood. This was the only game standing in the way of the regional title. The Lions were defeated and the Bi-District honor in the hands of the Tors. The next week rolled around and it was decided that Lamesa would play Levelland in Lubbock for Regional. The Loboes put up a good fight, only to find that their dreams of the trip to Austin were dissolved by the Tornadoes. The game ended with the cutting of the basketball net, the Regional title, and excited plans of the trip to Austin. 1. Ron Ranson cuts down the net after the Regional game in Lubbock.

South Grand Prairie proved to be worthy competition, but the Golden Tors won the qame and the State 3AAA Crown once again. The 1974-75 basketball team made history for them- selves, Coach Follis, and Lamesa. Lamesa is the only 3AAA school in Texas to have won the crown three different times. LHS is proud to be able to say that we are really number one.

While meeting deadlines most often meant extra hours, it did not pro- hibit staff members from planning an occasional party. Christmas at the Hale ' s publication students wrapped each otlier in tissue, tried out a few Aggie jokes and busted heads diving for an elusive spoon. When Spring came staff members met at Bill Caskey ' s to charcoal hamburgers. This marked another of tlie birthdays. . .and on this occasion the candle shot up, an arm folded out over the white icing cake and the banner uncurled reading Happy Birthday to a news- paper staff member. On the annual staff, several birth- days were observed during ttie school year. . .for example the mixed nuts served with coke at Bertha Barron ' s special day pro- vided more action than a Mexican Jumping Bean when the spring operated clotli covered snake shot from Bertha ' s can. The rule: no two birtlidays could be observed alike. The common de- nominator was to be an element of suspence. . .now just what ' s going to happen next? What will my birth- day be like? FOR THE WORLD ' S GREATEST STUDEMT? No, Cindy Gibson didn ' t put the sign in the hall reminding everybody of the day ' s importance. Staff members did it for her. They also presented her a key chain medallion reading The World ' s Greatest Student. On the FAR LEFT Jay Newbrough finds out how an Aggie feels. Jay spent almost enough time in Journalism II to get credit for the course . . . only thing, he wasn ' t signed up. CHRISTMAS AT THE HALE ' S ...
