We may be one of the last Monterey classes to choose to have a joint reunion with Lubbock High, but for us it makes sense. We had strong ties to the school our older brothers and sisters and even some of our parents attended.
For years we expected to follow in their footsteps to Lubbock High. We still have great friendships with people we met in elementary and junior high school long before we ever thought that we might be ripped apart to make a new school for the baby boomers.
But when we had to do so, we at Monterey shouldered our responsibility for establishing allegiance to our upstart school and sang, "Westerners put on your chaps, but we have got the spurs." (We had Arlan Flake, too. And we had him for four years!) And, in that day before political correctness dictated that nobody could say such things, the Lubbock High kids called us the "Monterey Peons." Tsk. Tsk. But the thing is, if truth were told, we knew the words to the Lubbock High alma mater before we knew the words to our own. So here's a link to the Lubbock High Class of 1959 site. Just think of it.
Still linked after all these years.
