ie ,eeapleo ciadce . . Along with the many other never-to-be-forgotten traditions of Lubbock Senior High School are those of selecting favorites and individuals for special recognition. Keeping in mind the nine points of our Westerner Code and the ideals set for us by past Westerners, we choose the different honorees. Each year two seniors are selected by secret ballot of the faculty as All-Westerner Boy and Girl. These honored students are chosen because of their outstanding scholarship, personalities, their ability to lead, their honesty, their loyalty, and their service and citizenship in'Lubbock Senior High School. This honor is one which exemplifies its name, that of All-Westerner. These individuals, as our code states, endeavor to live so that they and their fellow Westerners may be proud of Lubbock High School. Also a boy and a girl are elected by the Senior Class as class favorites. This honor recognizes the,most popular boy and girl of the graduating class. By vote of their classes, the juniors and sophomores elect one student each, either boy or girl, as their class favorite. The identities of all favorites and the All-Westerner Girl and Boy are kept secret until the arrival of the annual in the spring. Round-Up favorites, elected by the entire student body are, in reality, the all-school favorites, They may be selected from any class and they reign over the all-school party climaxing Round-Up Day, a day set aside for the reviving of the Old West. The favorites choose their own attendants, usually picking the ones next in line for the honor. Each month during the school term one senior girl and one senior boy are selected Girl of the Month and Junior Rotarian. These choices are based not only on present accomplishments but more on the every day actions and thoughts of those chosen. They are representative of all Westerners as they are the kind of people who have proved they have lived good, wholesome, and active lives. The girls picked by a committee composed of Mrs. Lewis Terrell, Miss Edith Caveness, Miss Gertrude Watson, Miss Irene Armes, and Mrs. Dick Cozby, are honored by the Lubbock Business and Professional Women's Club. To be honored by the Rotary Club Mr. Floyd Honey, Coach C. R. Pattison, and Mr. E. .l. Lowrey choose the Junior Rotarian. From lowest place, when virtuous things proceed, the place is dignified by the doer's deed. -Shakespeare -
