"Once a
Westerner, Always a Westerner"
"Sportsmanship, then Victory"
Remembering those two
mottos will bring you right back to 1954 and the years at
Lubbock High School. How fortunate we were to have spent those
years in such a special educational environment... outstanding
faculty! Music! Art! Theater! Sports! Academics! We really had
it all. Those were the years that we all went to one high
school, so you got to know kids from all over Lubbock.
Those were the years of peace -after World War II, before
Korea and Viet Nam. Our parents encouraged our studies and our
extra-curricular activities. We learned about government by
running our own elections. We planned our assemblies and
participated in them. We encouraged each other's talents and
achievements.
Almost 55 years since graduation and its
still a thrill to drive down 19th Street and see the same
beautiful building (now on the National Registry of Historical
Places) where we studied, played and made lasting friendships.
Meeting on Saturday morning in the cafeteria on Reunion
Weekend, renewing old friendships, walking the familiar halls,
thinking back on how uncomplicated our lives were then, we
lift our spirits and remind ourselves why we are proud to have
been Lubbock High School Westerners.
We hope you visit our
website often. Feel free to send us your suggestions,
additions or corrections, and be sure to make your plans for
the 55th reunion in 2009.
Always,

We enjoyed
sounds: 33 RPM records, band and orchestra,
multiple choirs, slow dances at sock hops
and cotillions. We remember the trends of
our times: hot rods, duck tails, flat tops,
poodle skirts and saddle oxfords. We
remember what seemed important at the time:
sports, welcome weekends, seeing and being
seen.

We regret the
passing of important places: Hi-D-Ho, the
Lindsey, the
White Pig, the Hub,
Hemphill-Wells, White and Kirk and a hundred
other wonderful rendezvous places which are
erased everywhere but in our fond memories.
Friendships were formed and bonds tied our
class together…in truth and in our
memories…forever.
