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.

4A TORNADO, Lamcsa, Texas, 1975 Students Involved in Homecomin The whole school was caught up in this year ' s Homecoming. 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
