WESTERNER Class (Officers J. R. Dow, President Guy Pierce, Vice-Pres. Ala Burrus, Sec’y-Treas. CLASS MOTTO: “Find a way, or make one.” CLASS FLOWER: Red and White Carnation CLASS COLORS: Maroon and White. JSrmar (Class Jfeturu On September 5, 1911, about forty little boys and girls, very badly frightened entered the primary department of the Lubbock Schools under the able supervision of Mrs. J. K. Wester and Mrs. E. R. Haynes. They little realized how long and toil- some would be the eleven years before them. The day after school started, each youngster came to school fully equipped with tablets and pencils, and eager to begin the studies of reading, ’riting and Arithmetic. In the days that followed, each child tried hard to leave school with a blue mark on his hand given by the teacher for good behavior. But try as he would it was utterly impossible for “Biscuit” to be- have himself, and obtain the blue mark. At the end of the first year, practically all of these future citizens were promoted to the second grade. During this term, Miss Grace Rucker taught them the art of long division, (an art which could not be fathomed by Alta, one of the young hope- fuls of the class). By this time, it was realized by all that school was work and not play.
