Clutching tightly to the symbols of a great team effort, Mr. Price expresses his gratitude to the Westerners for answering his challenge to Ukeep the Silver Spurs! t'Let's Keep 'Emj' was only one of the many slogans used on homeroom posters and signs to encourage the football team before the LHS-MHS clash for the Spurs. Spur Victor , Westerners . . . buckle on your spurs . . . This line thundered above all the rest as the student body sang the familiar verses of the Westerner Call To Loyalty on Monday morn- ing, Nov. 23-for Lubbock High had triumphed over cross-town rival Monterey High to retain possession of the silver spurs for the second con- secutive year. Prior to the game, a Week's conglomeration of Black and Gold events including color day, home- room poster and car decoration contests, and a gigantic pep rally filled the air with radiating spirit. The senior class added their contributions to the gala month by sponsoring Main Street, U.S.A.,,' tabbed as the most successful carnival to date. Centered around the Roaring 20's, flap- pers and gangsters enjoyed a dance in the cafe- teria by the Nite Owls, while others enjoyed the pie throw, teacher dunk, root beer, and cotton candy in the gym. Winter's activities proceeded at full speed with Westerners racing about-not forgetting to glance at those shiny silver objects in the trophy case. Beaming with joy, Gin Turner, Black and Gold Queen, graciously accepts the traditional yellow roses from Keeton Zachary as Cathy Leftwich, '63 honoree, and Mike O'Neal show their approval.

h ' HW wWLwM C ristmas Spirit Presents agwgwwiirwaramrm M Turmoil To Hectic Season E rt tr are Visions of sugar plums danced in their heads -or was it just an out-of-season heat wave that transposed fairly calm scholars into a dizzy tur- moil during the long-awaited month of Decem- ber? Thanksgiving turkeys were hardly out of sight before the halls and cafeteria donned deco- rations capped with melodious carolers. Homerooms traditionally furnished Sanders and Guadalupe schools with gifts and fruit while others donated old toys to organizations. Amid all the gaiety, however, seniors had to take time out for college board tests while juniors strug- gled through Iowa achievement tests. With only one day remaining before the eager- ly anticipated twelve-day Vacation, the yearly. Christmas assembly instilled in every Westernei the true spiritual meaning of Christmas. Stu- dents then left school to enjoy a holiday and welcome in a new year of different activities and another semester of studies. As the joyous Yuletide Season penetrates the atmosphere LHSers find moments to interrupt busy schedules in order to reaffirm the religious meaning of this time of year.
