Citizens National Bank Building THE 1937 CITV OP LUBBOCK EDITIOn Coming into Lubbock on the Plainview highway one can see a growing metropolis, a city of fine homes, schools, churches, and many other buildings of interest. As the reader turns these pages we endeavor to take him on a trip through a city of 30,000 industrious people, showing him the buildings of Lubbock and the life and pictures of the 1200 students of Lubbock Senior High School. We wish each and every reader a pleasant journey. PUBLISHED BY THE STUDENTS OF LUBBOCK SENIOR HIGH SCHOOL LUBBOCK, TEXAS 1 When the theme for this year's book was chosen we wondered whether it was suitable or not. The longer we wondered the more satisfied we became with it. Now we are wholly satisfied because it deals particularly with the students of Senior High School. We chose the idea of using pictures of buildings in Lubbock because the stu- dents are acquainted with them and will be surrounded by them as long as they live here. The staff looks at it this way: this book is for the students, by the students, and of the students of Senior High School. We could have easily looked up a lot of statistics and data on the City of Lubbock but preferred to just give a picture and not a history of Lubbock. This is the student's annual. May they enjoy it increasingly as the years roll by. THE EDITOR. -K 2 )8— This year's dedication has a two-fold purpose: to commemorate those pioneers who made Lubbock and West Texas what it is today and to praise the spirit that urged these hardy men and women onward. Only thirty years or so ago Lubbock was only a little spot on the South Plains. Now is has grown to a full size city and is still growing. There are men and women living in Lubbock now who can remember when Lub- bock was in its infancy. These are the people who are our pioneers and we look up to them with admiration of their courage and spirit. Let their spirit be passed on to us so we can take up where they left off. Therefore, we dedicate this book, The 1937 Westerner , to the Spirit of the Lubbock Pioneers, yesterday, today and tomorrow.

Prior to this time Senior High School occupied the building used as Junior High School now. The above view is the south-east entrance of the building. The side door leads to the Superintendent's Office. On the right and down the hall is the Commercial Department. THE SCHOOL FROM NORTH EAST Senior High opened formally in the spring of 1930 so that the 1930 class might have their graduation exercises in the new building. f Teachers use the entrance shown above more frequently than any other door. On the left after entering this door is situated the Principal's office. Down the hall are the inside entrances to the Auditorium used by the student body. In this main corridor may be seen the beginning of Senior High's art gallery, two pictures presented by Alumni. 6 ►- ADMINISTRATION Introducing Mrs. W. S. McDonald, president of Mother's Club.

European History is studied from a map. Medieval methods of warfare and cos- tumes are studied by a History class. Social Science students point out the region of the Ohio flood. Places are located on a world map by a Commercial Geography student. Where is the dust bowl? the teach- er asks. This is not hard for the pupil to point out. -4 10 - MATHEMATICS Explaining Algebra is easy after think ing has been done. A Solid Geometry class gets acquainted with solids, all sizes and shapes. An Algebra problem is demonstrated. Many a boy has become interested in engineering because he uses the tran- sit in Trigonometry. There is plenty of brain activity in a directed study period. In Solid Geometry accuracy counts. NATURAL SCIENCE Physical Education Folk dancing is enjoyed by the Physi cal Education class. In Physical Education there is some class work before every unit. Volley ball is a game that is enjoyed by all. A girl's Physical Education class forms a pin wheel. A basketball game between teams in the same class gives much excite- ment. Maybe this picture was mounted up- side down. Sliding into first in the gym. The boys play soft-ball outdoors. Wrestling and boxing are enjoyed by the boys. If you think this is easy, get your family together sometime and try it. Building pyramids makes the girls strong. NATURAL SCIENCE Material Half of a Biology class, doing composi tion work.

On the left is the gym and to the right is the Woodwork Department. The door at the left is the back door which is used mostly by bicycle riders. THE SCHOOL FROM SOUTH WEST In 1932 school officials attempted to make Senior High a four year institution. However, it was unsuccessful because the school was over- crowded with an enrollment of 1400. Looking from Avenue U and Nineteenth Street corner one sees the main entrance which leads to the Auditorium. The latter has a seating capacity of about 1500. Between the two entrances to the auditorium is situated the trophy case where all laurels won by the students are placed. LUBBOCK'S GOVERNMENT BUILDINGS The County Court House and the City Hall are shown at the top. At the bottom are placed the County Jail and the Post Office. The latter two are included in Lubbock's newest buildings Before coming to Lubbock in 1934, Dr. Oberholtzer served as super- intendent at Bellville, Texrs, from 1926 to 1928, and then at El Campo from 1928 to 1934. He received his B. S. degree from the University of Illinois, his M. S. degree from Texas A. M.., and his Ph. D. degree from Teachers College, Columbia University. This year Dr. Oberholtzer was elected president of the West Texas State Teacher Association at the meeting at Lubbock. In the three years he has been here he has shown completely that his high official standing does not keep him from being genial and understand- ing. No difficulty is too small for this busy executive to take time out from his many tasks to help solve. His presence in a classroom does not make the atmosphere stilted fqr students revere rather than fear Dr. Oberholtzer. -4 22 RAYMOND W. MATTHEWS Mr. Matthews has been principal of Senior High School for the past eleven years. He was elected in 1926. Before that he had been principal of Central Ward and teacher in high school. Texas Christian University, Southern Methodist University, and Texas Technological College are among the colleges he has attended. In 1916 he started in the profession of educating youth as principal of Spur High School. When the Stars and Stripes entered the World War, Mr. Matthews did too. However, he did not cross the ocean, but was station- ed at Kelley Field in San Antonio. After leaving the army he engaged in farming and ranching for two years. Students find Mr. Matthews sincere, genuine, and fair in wanting to help them with their problems. He believes rules should be obeyed or abolished. 4 23 ►- ADMINISTRATION DEANS For twenty-six years Mr. Dan W. Powers has taught school without missing a day. He taught in Desdemona Texas, for fifteen years. After teaching History, Mathematics, and coaching Debate, he became Dean of Boys. He has continued in this position for three years. He is also Hi-Y sponsor. Mrs. Terrell has been Dean of Girls for four years. She is counsellor for N Y. A. girls and the newly organized Tri-Y. She taught in Junior High School one year when she first came to Lubbock. ‘ I The work of the deans covers a wide range. They work in close coo dVatronl.with the Superintendent, Princ'pa’, Teachers and Parents in efforts, first to prevent vio'ation of school regulations, and second, to properly adjust discipline problems in the light of the best interest of the school. They aid in schedule making and correct planning for work after high school. They supervise social clubs, not to hamper, but to make them function in accordance with school rules and for the best interests of the membership. They seek to adjust abnormal social problems that arise in school or troubles in the homes of students. They check con- tinuously on the physical fitness of the students, writing passes home and for medical care. Eyes, teeth, throat troubles, and common contagious diseases are usually cared for through the homes. In cases where financial assistance is necessary various business clubs, social organizations, churches, hospitals and individuals always help. Their plans for next year will embody all of the items listed above with special stress on activities leading to the development of a personality, the practice of courtesy, training for leadership and every day practice of the cardinal principles of rugged honesty and stamina of character.

The subjects above have been correlated so that the problems and topics of each may be used to interpret and explain those of the others. The general aims of the department may be stated thus: to lead the pupil into worthwhile and interesting experiences; to guide him in acquiring ideas; to direct him in communicating these ideas correctly and effectively. In addition to the building of units of work by both teachers and students for classroom use, the following extra-curricular projects have been directed by the teachers of this department: publication of The Westerner and The Westerner World, contests in the Latin Tournament and Spanish, and such interscholastic league contests as essay writing, one-act play, declamation and extemporary speech. DOROTHY LOMAX, B. A. English Head of Department Baylor University University of California Miss Lomax, who has been Head of the English Department for ten years, began her career in Big Spring, Texas. For sixteen consecutive years she has taught, and for twelve years she has taught in Lubbock. She has also taught in Meridian College. In the summer of 1930 Miss Lomax traveled in Europe. v She is a member of A. A. U.

In Mechanical Drawing students are taught cor- rectness in drawing and printing. Throughout the year many useful articles are made in Woodwork, such as footstools, breadboards, endtables, and bedroom suites. In the Homemaking Department managing cloth- ing in order to be well-dressed at all times, the girl and her home, and caring for the sick have proved interesting. Fifty per cent of the girls enrolled in high school are taking Home Economics. In the future the needs of boys as well as those of girls are to be considered. The Commercial Department tries to teach the student to discover in what line of work he wants to continue. It tries to give students actual practical work to meet life situations. For a small majority the Depart- ment teaches for the vocational purpose and personal use. r Mr. Dawson's first years of teach- ing experience were spent at Farwell, Post, and Stamford, Texas. Eight out of e'even consecutive years of teaching have been spent in Lubbock. For seven years he has been Head of the Industrial Arts Depart- ment. For ten years Mrs. Terrell has taught in Lubbock High School. Seven of these years have been spent as Head of the Commercial Department. She first taught in England, Arkansas. Miss Watson, who became Head of the Home Economics Department at the beginning of the 1936-1937 school year, has been teaching here for nine years. She first taught in a one-teacher rural school.

At the top are shown the front entrances of Dupre and Senior High Schools. In the center is a bird's eye view of Texas Technological College. At the bottom are Junior High School and Central Ward, the oldest school building in Lubbock. Every year Seniors don their caps and gowns, receive their diplomas, and then journey forth into the world to seek their fortune or finish their education. The Class of 1937 will be no exception, for its 276 students will go from Senior High into a world that will accept them as adults. Many Seniors will, this summer or next fall, pass the entrance marker of Texas Technological College, pictured above, to begin their college career. - 53 THE CLASS OF 1937 LONNIE McCURRY Senior President Football Boxing '36 Student Council Under the leadership and guidance of Lonnie McCurry and Shirley Bass the Class of '37, one of the largest senior classes this school has ever had, has completed its last year in Public Schools. When these students first entered L. H. S. as freshmen in 1933, they were directed by Presidents Fern Newton and Gwendolyn McKinnon. Bill Van Zant proudly presided over this group as Sophomore President in '34. In 1935 Othie Upton took over the responsibility of leading the Juniors on. That's the history in brief of the Class of 1937, the only class fortunate enough to spend four years in thjjr building.

KEYES Assistant Coach ROSS AYERS Changed from Cowhand coach to Westerner line instructor. Coach Ross Ayers continues to teach the style of play which made him one of Tech's greatest guards and captains. His congenial nature and his persistant belief that good football players are made, not born, lists him tops among his players. He also coaches boxing, wrestling, and tennis. WELDON B. CHAPMAN Coach Chapman completed his sixth year at the wheel of Lubbock High grid machines in 1936. In 1935, and again in '36, his football teams annexed second place in the district pig- skin race and lost only five games during both campaigns. His never-say-die spirit and ever- present grin have served to make him a lasting favorite with his teams, students, and Lubbock citizens. J. G. KEYES Backfield coach of the Westerners, Coach J. G. Keyes produces one the hardest driving, nimble-footed backfields in West Texas. He believes in speed and determination to win ball games. Also head basketball mentor, Coach Keyes' cagers brought the Panhandle crown back to Lubbock High. His track team returned the district title to Lubbock High, a crown they last held in 1928. WALKER NICHOLS Graduating with honors of captain of the 1935 Texas Tech Red Raiders, Walker Nichols opened his coaching career with a bang, as he led the Cowhands into a successful season. Four wins, three defeats, and one tie graced his first year of coaching, a record better than any the Cowhands have compiled in recent years. WESTERNETTE LEADERS These five Westernettes introduced a new regime of Lubbock High Pep Squads. Working in cooperation with Mrs. L. H. Kirby, sponsor, the five leaders were highly instrumental in making the Westerner Pep Squad the success with which it was credited during grid and cage campaigns of 1936-'37.

Perkins Wilma Peters Lodelle Renfrou Lettie Faye Rogers Dorothy Sanders Winifred Sherrod Anna Mae Slack Lorene Smith Sarah Spencer Helen Stevenson Lois Tubbs Erva Williams Lavelle Wood With nearly one hundred participants, the Lubbock High School pep squad became The Westernettes in 1936. Wearing gold shirts, ten gallon hats, and high-heeled boots, the Westernettes participated in all of Lubbock's home games and in the Westerner-Pampa game in Pampa. The well-trained programs between halves of the football games, combined with their flashy new dress, distinguished the Lubbock rooters above other West Texas pep squad organizations. L” ASSOCIATION Created for the purpose of paying tribute and honor to the coveted L , representing participation in Lubbock High sports, the L association was larger in 1936-'37 than previous years, due chiefly to Lubbock High athletics' greater success. Seven of this group will return for athletic partici- pation in the fall of 1937 and during the spring of 1938. L ASSOCIATION: First Row: Paul Kinard, H. L. Gantz, Arvil Lee Oden, Rate Nabors, Wilburn Piercy, Harold Ingley, Isaac White, Earl Ince. Second Row: Coach W. B. Chapman, Joe Pytell, H. P. Ford, Bill Sessums, C. H. Stubbs, Bill Wood, Virgle Simmons, Herbert Leaverton, Sterling Short, Coach Ross Ayers. Top Row: Coach J. G. Keyes, Max Rutledge, Jarvis Wright, Ralph Letsinger, Babe Ritchie, Walter Webster, Othie Upton, Joe Jones, Lonnie McCurry. At a cost of $7,500, the Lubbock High athletes were given this six room dressing quarters for all high school athletics. Composed of two large dressing rooms for the Westerners and Cowhands, an athletic equipment room, two shower rooms, and a coaches' office, this ultra-modern home of Lubbock High athletes went a long way in inspiring their love for the game. FOOTBALL Considered one of the Mystery teams of District One, Lubbock's Westerners pulled through to win three district clashes, and lose one for undisputed second place slot in the conference standings. Coaches W. B. Chapman, J. G. Keyes, and Ross Ayers developed from a squad of six veterans and a handful of Cowhand recruits, an eleven which lost only to two state champions, Amarillo and Capitol Hill, Oklahoma City. This same band of scrapping Bronc Busters clouted New Mexico's thrice- state champs, smothered El Paso's district winners, and tied the bi-district champions, Abilene. A 38-0 victory over Plainview gave Lubbock second place in the district race and closed a season of nine games with six victories, one tie, and two defeats.

Fourth Row: Walter Webster, Earnest Winters, C. L. Storrs, Sterling Short, H. P. Ford, Melvin Billings, Babe Ritchie, Earl Ince, Arvil Lee Oden, Ralph Letsinger, Virgle Simmons. 130 ►- FOOTBALL '36 INGLEY: A senior with two letters, who won fame as a great little half- back, and a slippery open field runner. RUTLEDGE: A senior with two stripes on his sleeve, Rutledge ran from the fullback slot and scored more than any other Westerner in conference tilts. SIMMONS: A senior tackle who was one of Lubbock High's mainstays on the defense as well as a deadly of- fensive blocker. PIERCY: Co-Captain his senior year, Wilburn made one of the best block- ing guards ever to wear the Black and Gold for Lubbock's Westerners. NABORS: Rafe, a 220 pound center, was mentioned by every scribe for all- district and by several for all-state honors. He was a fine defensive tackle and offensive center. STORRS: Co-captain C. L. Storrs was voted the most valuable man on the Westerner squad. He called signals, played blocking back, and did prac- tically all of the passing and punting for the team. INGLEY SWEEPS WIDE AROUND AMARILLO'S RIGHT END AMARILLO Lubbock's Westerners suffered three quarters of stage fright before eleven state champion gridders from Amarillo, and 15,000 ardent pigskin fans. When the local eleven came to life in the fourth canto, Amarillo's Sandies were leading 37-0. The Golden Sandies were ahead 24-0 at the midway mark. In the final chapters, the Westerners' hustle increased, but they lacked the goal line scoring punch. FOOTBALL '36 3 . ODEN: A dependable end, Oden was a hard hitting tackier and a good defensive end. LETSINGER: A demonic tackier and blocker, Ralph's great pass-snatching ability made him a constant threat to all Lubbock opponents. RITCHIE: Captain Elect for 1937, Babe Ritchie is already a two-year first string tackle, with bigger and better things for next year's campaign. WEBSTER: Walter Webster was re- cruited from Cisco High, and after two weeks of workouts, made a first string right halfback. He's a hard driver with the mail. GANTZ: H. L. Gantz made one of Lubbock High's greatest defensive ends. This 145 pounds of human dynamite made good in every way. SHORT: A reserve last year. Sterling Short pulled through with his 205 pounds to make a first string guard and an excellent blocker. STORRS PLACES A PUNT DEEP INTO SANDIE LAND. PAMPA On a field frozen so hard that neither team could loose its broken field tricks, the Harvesters went down 7-0 before Lubbock's heavy line. Max Rutledge carried the pigskin over Pampa's goal in the second quarter, giving Lubbock its lone score and a victory in the first conference game of the year. FOOTBALL '36 WINTERS: A mid-season knee in- jury kept this end out of the latter fall's work, but see his name in head- lines in 1937. LEAVERTON: A junior with still another year. Herb Leaverton was one of the best blocking and tackling centers ever to earn a junior letter. WILLIAMSON: Fancy ball-toting was his specialty. Once he made the open field, it meant a substancial gain for the Westerners. WOOD: A dependable, pass-snatch- ing end, who loved the game. He completed his fourth year in 1936. INCE: Ince was declared ineligible in October, but served the remainder of the year as manager. Had his pas- sing been available, November 1 1 might have been a different story. KINARD: The smallest man on the squad, Kinard displayed hustle and fire the entire season at riqht quard. WHITE DRIVES 25 YARDS THROUGH PLAINVIEW'S LINE. PLAINVIEW Vengeance was the Westerners' on Turkey Day when they steam-rolled Plainview's Bulldogs, 38-0. Gantz, Ingley, Rutledge, and White scored against the Plainview aggregation. Lubbock simply was not to be stopped in the final game for fifteen Westerners. -4 133 RUTLEDGE MAKES 10 OVER THE BULLDOG'S RIGHT GUARD FOOTBALL ‘36 TUBBS: One of the best defensive p'ayers ever to don a Westerner foot- ta'I suit, Tubbs played left guard with the biggest and best. WRIGHT: A left handed chuncker who promises the enemy plenty of troub'e in 1937. SPIKES: A fractured arm removed him from workouts after mid-season, but he'll be in there pitching in '37. WHITE: White proved his value more than ever in the Plainview game with his great quarterbacking and line-driving. BILLINGS: The hardest-hitting tack- ier on the Westerner squad, Billings will be in the headlines more than once next fall. PYTELL: Joe Pytell made the West- erners a dependable, hustling tackle. With a little experience he'll rate tops in 1937. BORGER In their second conference tilt of the season the Lubbock Westerners lumbered to a 20-0 victory over a much lighter Borger eleven. A steady stream of Westerner substitutes in the third and fourth quarters held the score to three touchdowns, all of which were counted by Max Rutledge, hard- driving full-back. -4( 134 )►- COWHANDS Under the capable direction of Coach Walker Nichols in his first year of coaching, the Lubbock. Cowhands entered a New Deal program in class B athletics in Lubbock High This hardy band of little warriors breezed into some of the toughest grid squads on the class B chart of West Texas, but undaunted, they rode on through for a record of 5 wins and 3 losses, with one tie marked against them. Such strong aggregations as Olton, Ralls, Anton, the powerful Littlefield Wildcats, winners of the bi-district class B crown, fell before the wiry little Cowhands. The Littlefield-Cowhand game was played on a frozen field but the Little Westerners pulled through to win a close 13-7 decision. Spur's growling Bulldogs handed the Nichols men their worst defeat of the season, a 19-0 loss on the Spur grid. COWHAND FOOTBALL SQUAD: Bottom Row—Bedford Raley, mgr., H. A. Clark, Wallace Fu!wiler, Billy Phillips, T. L. Britton, Jack Millsap, Jack Coursey. Second Row—Luther Tate, Melvin Cooksey, Scott Abbott, Harold Parsons, R. J. Herbst, Oscar Halsell, S. C.

FOOTBALL REVIEW Coaches Chapman, Keyes, and Ayers led a green band of untried grid- men against the strong El Paso Tigers in the season's opener at Texas Tech Field. The inexperienced Westerners turned on the steam to break in the new Tech stadium as well as their set of plays. Ince, Letsinger, Storrs, and Rutledge paced the Westerners to a 33-12 victory. Journeying to Abilene early in the morning and playing the afternoon of the same day, the Westerners licked the fatigue of a long drive and tied the Eagles, 6-6. Ritchie's extra point kick, which would have won the game for Lubbock, was nullified, and the Westerners penalized. Dormant pos- sibilities were discovered in the scrapping Westerners. Cleburne's touted Yellow-Jackets flew at Lubbock and annexed a 7-0 lead over the Chapman squad at half-time. The Westerners prayed over the matter during the rest period, trotted back to the field, and upset the high-flying Yellowjackets 25-7 in a brilliant last-half touchdown parade. Defeat became a word in Lubbock's vocabulary, placed there by Capitol Hill's mamoth band of Redskins. Capitol Hill took a 14-0 lead as the fourth quarter opened, but could not surpress the twinkling feet of little Harold Ingley, who cantered fifty yards to pay dirt in the last period, but, thus, end- ed the Westerner scoring, and Capitol carried away a 14-6 victory. A 7-0 triumph over Pampa's light Harvesters opened the district race for Lubbock. Max Rutledge counted for the score in the second quarter when he drove three yards over tackle into pay dirt. Borger's barking Bulldogs were the next to feel defeat at Lubbock's hands. Taking a 14-0 lead at half-time, the Westerners counted another six points in the third stanza to stop Borger's bid for district championship 20-0. Rutledge scored all three touchdowns and Ritchie kicked the extra points. A sad day comes in every man's life. The locals had theirs when Amarillo's State Champions placidly kicked the Westerners into the ranks of insignificant has-beens with a 37-0 win. Armistice Day was a day of war for the Bronc Busters, who never threatened the Sandies' home grounds. Pulling themselves from the mire of remorse, Lubbock travelled to Clovis, N. M. and scored twice against the champions of that state for a 1 4-0 victory. Lubbock High pulvarized Plainview's Puppies Thanksgiving Day, scor- ing in each quarter, to win 38-0. Fifteen fighting Westerners played their last game for the Black and Gold against the Bulldogs. This victory gave Lubbock second place in District One, a position which they held last year. Runner-up in popularity among the students to football, Lubbock High basketball took a great step forward in the eyes of the students and general public in 1937. The sale of activity tickets increased attendance of home games from a mere handful in 1 936 to between three and four hundred for every cage game of the home season. WESTERNER BASKETBALL SQUAD With only two returning lettermen. Coach J. G. Keyes built a cage squad which annexed the Panhandle League title, and went to the semi-finals of the district tournament. Lack of student support proved to be the chief fault of the Knights of the Maplewood. Before a large home-crowd, the rangy Keyes Quint was unbeatable, but their winning streak was broken in the district tournament, when, playing before an audience of hooting, jeer- ing, opponents, with only a dozen home fans present, the Westerners drop- ped their hustle in the third quarter and suffered a defeat. Pampa, Amarillo, Abernathy, Plainview, Anton fell before the high-flying Bronc Busters. Only Meadow, Floydada, and Sudan knew what a victory over the Lubbock cagers was like. WESTERNER BASKETBALL SQUAD: Bottom Row—Harold Ingley, J B White, Harold Parsons, Arvil Lee Oden, Wayne Johnson, L. D. Venable, Coach J. G. Keyes. Top Row—Walter Webster, Pete Cawthon, Rate Nabors, Virgle Simmons, H. P. Ford, Ralph Letsinger, Robert Allen, Roger Kuykendall, Isaac White, Manager. -5(138)3- BASKETBALL '37 ARVIL LEE ODEN: The clever ball- handling and passing of Oden, com- bined with his guarding and love for the game, placed him on the all-dis- trict five and in Lubbock High's Hall of Basketball Glory. RALPH LETSINGER: Closing his high school sports career with the honor of captaining one of the greatest cage teams to wear the Black and Gold, Letsinger proved to be the backbone of the Westerner offense. VIRGLE SIMMONS: Simmons' great height and consistent shooting and hustle brought him from the ranks of obscure basketeers to an all-district birth with his team-mate, Oden. L. D. VENABLE: No Westerner was better than this long-shot artist when he hustled. A junior with one more year of eligibility, Venable could be the most valuable man on the entire squad. H. P. FORD: After changing from forward to center, Ford's scoring spree was never headed. The lanky Junior scored from three to sixteen points a game in the most consistent scor- ing record on the entire Westerner quintet. ROBERT ALLEN: Inexperience worked strongly against Allen's playing, but having still another year, the rangv forward is a sure bet for the 193� team. AMARILLO at LUBBOCK Before a crowd of approximately 500 excitement-crazed fans, the Lub- bock cagers proudly stomped their traditional rivals, the Amarillo Sandies, into the maplewood to the tune of 41-23. Simmons and Ford led the Westerners toward their first Panhandle championship with a total of 18 points between them. ABERNATHY at LUBBOCK Clicking like a well-oiled machine, the Westerners breezed through Abernathy's district basketball champions to a 30-17 upset. Lanky H. P. Ford tallied 16 marks to lead the scoring for Lubbock. Oden and Letsinger played one of the greatest games of their high school careers. PAMPA at PAMPA Pampa's partly-favored Harvesters dropped their first game of a two game series with Lubbock High in their own gymnasium 36-19. Simmons went on a scoring spree to tally 14 points; Ford accounted for ten, with L. D. Venable totaling the same. BASKETBALL '37 HAROLD PARSONS: The hustle and dexterity of this diminutive forward placed him in numerous games even as a sophomore. His natural ability won him the position of all-tourna- ment forward in a cage meet in Idalou. WAYNE JOHNSON: Johnson pre- sented one of the most promising physiques and natural abilities seen in Westerner sports candidates for years. His never-ending hustle will win him a first string position in 1938. RAFE NABORS: A senior, Rafe completed a well-rounded athletic course in 1937. Nabors was thorough- ly dependable and a capable guard. PETE CAWTHON: A sophomore, pos- sessing great natural ability, Cawthon was among the best reserves on the entire team. His razzle-dazzle style of play will place him on the starting line-up more than once in 1938. HAROLD INGLEY: Beginning the season as something of an unknown quantity, Ingley turned out to be the difference in victory and defeat for the Westerners in more than one of their Panhandle League games. J. B. WHITE: White's style of play was the crowd pleasing type. His ball-hawk tactics made the dimin- utice forward a constant pain to his opponents. PAMPA at LUBBOCK Cinching the Panhandle League championship in their own gymnasium, Coach J. G. Keyes' crowd of lanky cagers downed the Pampa Harvesters 27-14. Simmons paced the scoring with 8 points to his credit via the field goal route. Oden and Letsinger combined their defensive work with Ford's hustle to cop the first league crown for the Westerners. AMARILLO at AMARILLO Lubbock's high flying Westerners relaxed through the initial quarter of their cage conflict in Amarillo, but gained speed in the second chapter to lead 20-1 1 at the half. Scoring 14 points to 10 for the Sandies in the two final stanzas, Lubbock High downed their traditional rivals a second con- secutive time to the tune of 34-21. PLAINVIEW at LUBBOCK Plainview's knights of the maplewood journeyed to Lubbock and showed to the Keyesmen 40-20, as they took the lead in the Panhandle League basketball race. The Bronc Busters led 22-9 at half-time and increased their lead to 32-13 at the three-quarter mark. Oden paced the scoring with 10 points to his credit. COWHANDS Material that promises Westerner lettermen real competition was developed on the Cowhands under the competent instruction of' Coach Walker Nichols. This group of inexperienced rookies grew into one of the most potential class B quintets in the surrounding vicinity. Although no letters were given in the class B section of the cage game, this group of lanky bucket-ringers will monopolize the Westerners' starting line-ups dur- ing the next two years. COWHAND BASKETBALL: Top Row—Luther Tate, Joe Pytell, N. C. Tims, Robert Castle, Homer Hensley, Arthur Holly, Julian Zellner, B. L. Oats, Tom Jackson, Jarvis Wright, Charles Purcell, John Robert Moxley, Coach Nichols. Bottom Row—D. H. Stockton, Joe Bob Foster, Jimmy Neill, Ted Alkire, Jerry Nash, Sidney Wright, Coulson Paxton, Melvin Cooksey. BOYS’ INTER-CLASS CHAMPS Breezing through other class teams, the third-period Monday- Wednes- day Physical Education class copped the intra-mural cage championship with a clear record. Captain Lewis Terrell and Thomas Akarman led the victors, with other members displaying staunch dependability. In the picture, left to right, are: Ewell Booker, Elmer Gibson, Lloyd Boles, W. C. Estes, Lew;s Terrell, and Coach Ayers. Thomas Akarman is not in the picture, but was a member of the team, being high point man. GIRLS' INTER-CLASS CHAMPS RESUME Class basketball tourna- ments were held in girls7 phys- ical education groups and in- dividual class winners were selected. These engaged in inter-class contests until the winners of the final games were selected. An all around squad, picked from the teams of the entire list of participants, was named and is pictured here. INTER CLASS CHAMPS: Back Row—Elza Brownd, Mrs. L. H. Kirby, Virginia King, Nita Sparks, and Anna May Crowley. Front Row—Evelyn Keller, Vanal Medford, and Mildred Hankins. ALL AROUND SQUAD ALL AROUND SQUAD: Virginia Allen, Wilma Kerr, Helen Jarrott, Gertrude Allison, Golda Cole, Clerminzia Rhines, Mary Frances Begey. -«(143 H- Increasing rapidly in popularity with the student body, tennis, volley ball, boxing and wrestling soared to new heights in Lubbock High in 1937. Introduced through a physical education curriculum, these minor sports proved of major interest to a large number of the students. TRACK SQUAD Winning the district track and field meet for the first time since 1928, the Westerners made a complete success of their cinder season. The twinkl- ing toes of Melvin Cooksey, a new-comer to local sports, and Harold Ingley, all around athlete, led the Westerners in regaining the district title. Cooksey won first in the 220 yard low hurdles and in the 440 yard dash. Ingley cop- ped the 220 yard dash and the Century. Ford, Simmons, and the relay team, composed of Castle, Ingley, Cook- sey, Oden, and Sessums, were among other outstanding performers in the thinly-clad squad. Much of the credit for the winning of the district, Snyder, and Memphis tournaments should be chalked up to Coach J. G. “Goober Keyes and his long hours of undying efforts to improve local track conditions. TRACK SQUAD Coach J. G. Keyes, Henry Ford, B. L. Oats, N. C. Tims, John Robert Moxley, Earnest Winters, Robert Allen, Virgle Simmons, Rate Nabors, Irving Jones, Jarvis Wright, Walter Webster, (in center) Melvin Cooksey. GIRLS VOLLEY BALL The Lubbock High volley ball squad did not participate in competetive meets with other schools, but the local squad continued workouts under the guidance of Mrs. L. H. Kirby in the Lubbock High gym. Inter-class tournaments were sponsored and school champions chosen from the num- er of teams which competed in the meets prior to the Interscholasti League meet. First Row—Clerminzia Rhines, Mary Frances Begey, Hollie White, Maudina May. Second Row—Leta Fern Denton, Lucille McKinney, Allene Horton, Camilla Booker, Annie Larue Booker. Third Row—Drucille Merriman, Helen Roberts, Violet Stephens, Mrs. L. H. Kirby, Juanita Casey, Dorotha Inez Daves. BOXING AND WRESTLING Although football and basketball hold the spotlight of student interest, boxing and tennis are increasing in popularity with the students. Boxing began with daily tournaments among the Physical Education classes and grew to a sport which promises to be one of the leading ones in Lubbock High in the very near future. LEWIS TERRELL: Won district and state divisions of flyweight in Golden Gloves, lost by decision to champion of Okla- homa in national tournament . . . excellent guard . . . has will to win. BABE RITCHIE: Same record as Terrell's . . . ex- cept his laurels are in heavyweight chapter . . . knocks out opponents with short right hooks . . . tremen- dous punch . . . popular with Fort Worth fans. BOXING SQUAD First Row: Coach Ross Ayers, Douglas Strawn, Dumas Carter, Isaac White, Babe Ritchie, Thomas Akarman, Jack Lovin, Truva McSpadden, Lewis Terrell. Bottom Row: Horace Humphries, Bert Klantchnek, Marvin McClarty, Adolph Hunt, Othello Sturgeon, Elmer Gibson, Robert Akers. TENNIS Girls' tennis candidates held individual workouts during the major part of the net season, but toward the latter of the racquet-swinging year, school courts were constructed and squad workouts held. All tennis activities were under the instruction of Mrs. L. H. Kirby, girls' P. T. coach. Eliminations in singles and doubles divisions were held, the winners competing in the district tournament. To the front of the net is Mrs. Kirby, and back of the net left to right are: Lucille Carnett, Laura Bell, Betty Savage, Norma Glassman, Wilma Kerr, Louise Travis, and Ira Patterson. LUBBOCK MUNICIPAL AIRPORT There are many reasons why Lubbock is called the Hub of the Plains. The above picture shows several of them. At the top from left to right are: the Lubbock Municipal Air- port, the Hilton Hotel, Ava- lanche-Journal Publishing Com- pany, the Lubbock Cotton Mills, and last, the Burrus Elevators.

If you're I left out—we'll catch you next year. This year started off with a bang. Several guys and gals made the special train to the Cen- tennial. Just happens that the 'ole mud slinger was on that trip so it came through reliable sources that Farmer Horne and Rowdy Dow Barstow had one swell night . . . Lorena Rawlings wasn't doing bad either. Poor old Sleepy McMahon lost all his money the first day. Orville got rid of his some how. You guess how—we can't. Speaking of specials, a grand time was had by one and all on the Pampa special. Marion Gosden provided sandwiches for everyone on the way home. Mary Jarrot made a little change on the trip with the galloping dominoes. Oran Wilson was among the several who celebrated the victory with much pep. To all those love sick girls and boys of L. H. S. we present the choisest of razzberries. Among the worst cases of this year were Dorothy Kelly and Ed Weaver, Othie Upton and Mildred Mitchell, Horace Humphries and Dorothy Jean Butler, Louis Murfee and La Wanda Sherrod, Wilburn Piercy and Bertha Proctor.

Only the so-called Social Bugs took it over. Too bad that such romeos as Bill Wood and the other heroes of the grid couldn't do anything about it. Joe Bob Foster put the skids under Jimmie Williams at that affair. Quite a few of the Senior High girls went college on the unlucky boys this year—for in- stance, Jane Prickett, Jackie Davis, Gertrude Claiborne, Betty Lee Lindsey, Evelyn Patty and Marylin Riggs. Many others tried but couldn't make the grade. Must be fun to be a college boy and be the Ideal of all the high school gals, eh boys? At the Press Convention held in Abilene, Bill Wood went so far as to leave the banquet early to escort Betty Savage to the show. Show must have been fairly long foo, 'cause they got back to the hotel just at the deadline and Mr. Ayers had to break up the conference at the door be- fore the good-night salutation could be executed. Also, William Holt not only deserted the Lubbock delegation at the convention, but made a cam- paign speech for the Gladewater Candidate. The Wilkins Family Victory dance proved a good place for Primo McCurry, Earl Ince, Bob Ritchie, and Clendon Kerr to cut loose and forget they were athletes in L. H. S. I continued) Congratulations Seniors I Safety for Everyone” LUBBOCK BUS COMPANY 1101 Main Street Phone 204 Ray Farmer Bob Farmer The first school was built in 1892—the third frame building erected in Lubbock. The business houses consisted of one or two drug stores, mercantile stores, blacksmith shops and livery stables. Compare Lubbock of today with the hitching post era of the frontier cattle days. The horses and buggies have been discarded for the latest model motor cars; and the frame stores have been supplanted by modern brick and stone buildings. Lubbock is the ideally situated city of the South Plains, drawing from an extensive trade territory. This combined with cotton, grain and cattle has made Lubbock one of the busiest and finest cities of West Texas. Forward with Lubbock Since 1927 WW Texas (fas Co. Qood Qas With Dependable Service J.

The idea might not turn out so well— for we may be the biggest chumps of all for publishing pictures and write-ups such as these. It may be too dangerous. George Blow-hard Weiss George is a grand guy, but there just ain't no demand fer him—or his road- ster that has been cream, blue, and maroon during the year. Riding in George's auto is similar, in fact, too similar, to riding a bucking mule in a blinding sandstorm. Part of the sensa- tion is caused by the car and part by the driver. The reason George is placed in this section is that we knew all the time he wouldn't like it. Chalones Whitacre Roberts She is one of the few who took ad- vantage of leap year, but was almost too late.

But, when teacher is out of the room, he gets about like a streak of lightning. Guy's pretty good at imitating a barnyard, and some of his friends think he should be called Snoz- zle . But, once in a while Guy sur- prises everybody and proves the hero of a difficult situation—heck, we forgot— this is the razz section. Mary Helen Gossip Taylor If it happened—Mary Helen always knows where, when, why, and how come. We're preserving her in razzberries, how- ever, because she went to Paris to gradu- ate. She isn't the only one that left this year for the same reason—but that speaks well for the scholarship of them that stayed . Shirley ? Bass Gals that can talk like this gal can need to be razzed. She has trained her female tongue so that she could give a tongue lashing or a sermon of praise to the King of England and he'd have to listen. Shirley was elected secretary of the senior class, but everybody ad- mitted that if she had spoken for anyone else—they would have been elected. This little lady just doesn't have time for girl friends—her time is taken up by Billy Knight. Mildred Mouse Mitchell Mildred is sweet and all that, but she squeeks like a mouse, pinches other peo- ple, and cries over her boy friends in public. She doesn't look like one of the mice family, but don't start jumping on chairs when a squeeking is heard: it may just be Mildred running loose. Mrs. Marion Mamie Ruth Betts Ross Ayers What a name! She is another who was lucky and used leap year to a good ad- vantage. We razz her for even wanting to sponsor also a publication such as the Westerner World , which only won All American rating in National Scholastic competition. Marion Sandwich disher-outer Gosdin On the Pampa special Marion dished out sandwiches to the whole crowd, but they were terrible sandwiches—so we give him the razz. Besides, he smokes a pipe that smells awful. He has a big heart. In fact, he just gives and gives and gives. He goes with Lorena Rawlins, and she is a policeman's daughter—so he is slightly held down when he goes courtin'. Lorena Babyface Rawlins Lorena has the distinction of being the only junior who attended the first senior picnic of the year—and she was escorted by none other than the senior prexy. No matter how much we razz the little lady, she'll be able to place her nose in the air and with her womanly will outsmart us one way or another. Just the same, she's about the best courter Senior High has, and that is somethin'. Joe Farmer Plaza Horne Joe inherited a place in Senior High from his big brother Hugh that required living up to, but he has fallen short of the task. Hanging his head out of win- dows, belonging to the Wilkins boys, and playing a rotten game of football, besides going with five girls in one year are just a few of the things he could be razzed for. - 173 - - JOHN HALSEY DRUG STORE -0O0- 'Your Prescription Druggist —0O0— PHONE 1330 v 1118 Broadway Lubbock, Texas YOU ARE INVITED TO JOIN NOW! 1020 Main Street Phone 939 SOUTH PLAINS AUTOMOBILE CLUB LOCAL UNIT AMERICAN AUTOMOBILE ASSOCIATION MEMBERSHIP INCLUDING $1000 INSURANCE 3r Per Day “Drive with Peace of Mind” i —: Drive-in Service :— SOUTHERN AUTO STORES, Inc.

HILTON HOTEL Lubbock's Finest SENIOR CLASS PROPHECY—1937 Madame Marve'o, the noted mind reader and crystal gazer, has revealed the secrets of the future. A few days ago, I chanced to pass her place of business, and she told me she had seen the future of many of the members of the 1937 senior graduating class. When I inquired further, her eyes took on a faraway stare and she gazed into the mystifying depths of her crystal ball. It clouded, her voice became a low chant, and that 1947 was made clear to her. To me she disclosed these secrets which I now pass on to you in the greatest confidence. Primo McCurry has been declared the new boxing champ of the world, under the management of Joe Davidson.
