EVER ADVANCING A Since the Lubbock Senior High School building became a reality instead of a dream in 1931, it has increased in size as the enrollment of students has grown. There are no available records as to enrollment before 1938, at which time the number of students was 1,195. Being boosted to 1,272 in 1939, the enrollment steadily increased through the years: 1,405 in 1940, 1,430 in 1941, 1,483 in 1942, and 1,457 in 1943. Although decreasing in 1944 to 1,363, the year 1945 shows an increase to 1,472. The peak of enrollment occurred in 1946 with a record of 1,507 students. Due to the addition in the Lubbock school system of a twelfth grade in 1939,' a small sophomore class brought the enrollment down to 1,388 in 1947. The present senior class is made up of the last group of students to complete twelve years' work within an eleven-year span. With the exceptions of the east wing and the shop, which were added in 1942, the original building appeared as it did last year. This year, however, presents a picture of growth and development, with many fields of construction well under way. The completion of the Chapman field gymnasium, with a seating capacity of 1,800, was a joy to all students and citizens of Lubbock. Ready for use next fall will be a girls' gym, a modern cafeteria, with a capacity of 600, a band room, a well-equipped workshop for agricultural students, and the large addition of a southeast wing consisting of three laboratory type classrooms and eleven regular size class- rooms. This year, as well as in previous years, the Seniors add the final stroke to the picture which will go with them throughout life, the picture of their days as active students in L. H. S. The golden-hued brick, red tiles of the roof, and the stately tower rising into the azure blue heavens frame this scene to be remembered, and behind it lie opportunities to be cherished.
