Both are seniors and have behind them impressive high school art careers.

Almeida and Jimmy are members of Tomorrow’s Artists Today of which Almeida is secretary. All in a day’s work — Being service manager for the MONTEREY MIRROR keeps Howard Wil- kerson on the go’’ most of the time. In this capacity, Howard takes all of the reporters’ copy to Dennis Brothers Printing, where the paper is printed, and all pictures to the engravers. After the newspaper copy has been set up, he runs a proof on it and brings it back for the MIRROR staff to use in page lay-outs. Howard also has sold some advertising for the bi-weekly paper. To think he has to “lug” that around — Harlo Lamkin, senior, takes time out from band activitie long enough to have his picture made. For thre years Harlon and his tuba have gone to state t compete in the All-state band contests, and h advanced to Tri-state his sophomore year. I exchange assemblies and special programs, Harlo has participated several times playing solos. Harlo gives three hours a day to band work, and als finds time to make honor roll grades, for he is member of the National Honor Society. To cnU into the musical field is Harlon’s ambition, an to major in music at Texas Tech is his goal.

Lubbock and Monterey. Climaxing the campaign for a good relationship between LubbocKS two competitive high schools was the Monterey vs. Tom S.
