Wanted to ask him if he'd been to the Mall right when it closed and heard the shouting stillness. Wanted to tell him that business is good here because Lubbock's just right, not too big. not too small because Lubbock's wide open for opportunity because Lubbock has the largest producing cotton gin in the world because Lubbock has Litton industries. Texas Instruments. Levi and other giant plants here because Lubbock has a Major state university growing at a rate of 1000 per year. All that's true and great and impressive, but if you get right down to it that's not the best part the really great thing about Lubbock is the people.

Kay Hardwick Heard a Senior in the hall talking about Monterey Can’t wait to graduate to get outta here. I’ll be leavin’ Lubbock at last. Too many rules no freedom. Home of the Mighty Plainsmen, ha!” Sad. He's missed so much. Couldn’t help wondering if he'd noticed the good things —like how often Monterey wins district titles or the large number of National Merit semi-finalists year after year how could he help feeling proud when the baseball team won two state championships or when the big Red and Blue band takes the field. There’s a lot of beauty around, too the patio in early spring with all the trees in bloom —the newly-painted rooms in exciting shades of chartreuse, orange, and gold—the way the sun catches the flag on a fall morning. Wanted to shout at him and make him listen the best thing at Monterey is the people sophomores, juniors, seniors, faculty all of them the people.
