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.

The Tornado Lamesa High School, Lamesa, Texas 79331 Vol. 22 1975 $9.50 What ' s Inside NEWS BRIEFS (Section A) include some of the big stories of the 1974-75 school year. 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.
