Captivating the students' thoughts by diverting them from classroom hum-drum, one of the Sparkles sings one of the band's more popular songs as they present the year's first paid assembly. Black And Gold Week Hi hlights Spirited Month With the presentation of the first paid assem- bly of the year by the well-known Sparkles, Oc- tober began in a very lively manner. Successful football games with El Paso Burges, Palo Duro, and Coronado drew even greater student support and enthusiasm. ' Black and Gold Week was much askit has been in past years, but the posters were different, the car decorations were new, and the spirit was as high as ever by Thursday night at the traditional Night Pep Rally. Numerous new skits concurrent with the times were presented. Concluding this celebrated week, Ginger Ausley was crowned Black and Gold Queen during halftime at the Spur game with cross-town rival Monterey. Because of a change in zones between Lubbock High and Monterey, the two schools clashed for the Silver Spurs for the first time in a non- district battle, which occurred in the middle of the season. The Spurs did not come home, yet the pride and spirit with which they were fought remained even with the bitter taste of defeat. Homecoming activities featured this year's Black and Gold Queen, Ginger Ausley. Student body president, Andy Kerr, presents Ginger a bouquet of roses as Bar- 20 bara Durham, last year's queen, and Jimmy Sawyer, Gin ger's escort, look on.

O O l September Inmates Busy Year As September put a halt to lazy summer days and leisure activities, Westerners returned to Lubbock High to begin another exciting, fun- filled school year. Although class assignments began requiring many hours of study, Western- ers still found time for parties, elections, pep ral- lies, football games, and bus trips. While the annual sophomore orientation work- shop introduced new students to the customs and traditions of Lubbock High, juniors worked un- tiringly to present the first all-school party, Something Fishy . Seniors were included in the excitement when they received their long- awaited senior rings only one week after school began. With the election of sophomore class officers and cheerleaders, the first month of school end- ed, making way for more activities in the 1966- 67 school year. Speechless after putting her senior ring on for the first time, Ginger Ausley winces with delight as Jana Strick- land and Sallie Tarkington share the excitement of re- ceiving the awaited rings. As the evening grows late, John Henry of the Mari- ners becomes fatigued as he and the other band mem- bers entertain at the Westerner Ways Daze Dance which is the closing event of the traditionally cele- brated Howdy Week for sophomores.
