BickneU President TO THE STUDENTS The year 1958-59 will soon be ended and those of you who have had a part in the success of Lovington Junior-Senior High School may well feel proud of what has been accomplished. Many of you may be waiting for the time when you will be graduating because you are anxious to get out into the world to make a name for yourselves, and to some of you, the real- ization of graduation will come as a shock. As long as you can smile more often about die tasks you did, rather than frown about the things you didn't do, then you can say that your stay in Lovington schools have been worthwhile. During your lives our world will constantly change, and your future may be much different from what you have expected. Also, your learning here has not always been pleasant and your achievements not so great; but many experiences, along with the friendships you have created, will give you lasting satisfaction. May die 1959 Mirror furnish you a bright print for your album of memory, to be forever cherishedl DANIEL BRAUER, Assistant Principal Social Studies, Guidance Counselor B. S.

With hard work and ingenuity they present a class play, PAINT THE TOWN PINK, directed by Mrs. Grace Eskridge, and produce a Junior-Senior Prom at the Sullivan Country Club. ACT IV PLACE: Lovington High School; but it now seems much greater in importance In the lives of the characters. TIME: The school year of 1958 - 59. CHARACTERS: Twenty-five Seniors.

Water 26 MRS. ESKRIDGE JUNIORS HISTORY The doors of L. H. S. have opened to us for the third time, and we hope to make this year even better than our previous ones have been. As Freshmen we were well represented for we furnished 2 girls for cheerleaders and selected a candidate for Homecoming queen and a boy and a girl as Student Council representatives. We sold refreshments at one of the football games. We worked and made a better showing, as Sophomores, with our treasury. To make money, we sold mums for Homecoming; subscriptions to the Reporter; and refreshments at die games. We also sponsored several successful sock hops. Our Junior year has arrived and we have had the thrill of selecting our class rings. Under the direction of Mrs. Gayle Strader, we proudly presented the play “Papa was a P readier” and we climaxed the year with an unforgetable send-off for the Seniors. The prom and banquet! We are especially proud of one of our class members, Homer Butler, who was elected as “Most Valuable Player of the 58-59 Football Season” and selected as Prep of the Week” in the Champaign Courier. The Class of 60 will never forget these years and their memories of L.H.S. will always be cherished. Next year, we hope to provide responsible leadership in keeping with our mono Make sure you are right; then go ahead”. Compliments of LEON KITE WOODWORKING CO.

As Freshmen, at Homecoming, we did not have a winning queen candidate but we did get a first prize for our float and window decorations. We had a work day and made $40. by washing cars and windows, and raking leaves and hauling gar- bage. We were the first to be 100 percent in yearbook purchases and so each of us received a candy bar. We also sponsored a successful sock-hop where we served free refreshments. This year we had another successful work day; won first with our float; and a third with our window; furnished the winning queen candidate (Judy Winings); sponsored another sock hop ; and took care of the concession stand at some of the games. CLASS OFFICERS; Judy Wining, Vice-President; Gary McCoy, President; Margaret Minor, Secretary; and Mickey Cochran, T reasurer. Our treasury shows a nice balance, and of course, we are looking forward to a Senior Trip. But the making of money and activities are not our only concern. Will you please look at the school’s Honor Roll? We are particularly proud of the high percentage of our members whose names appear on that roll. MRS. THOMAS MR.

We didn't do anything outstanding until the seventh grade. Then we were honored as the class to be the first to attend the Junior High. We are now looking forward to our graduation and becoming a part of the high school. Perhaps a future Mirror of L. H. S. will record honors achieved and records set by our class.

The story takes place in a small West Texas town and centers around the town gossip’s trying to make trouble for the family of the minister. Her actions, as well as those of the Porter family and their friends, create a humorous but charming play. The work of producing the play involved much work but it was enjoyed very much by the whole group.
