On the edge of his seat, Mr. Charles Stratton, PCSSD Board President cheers for the Lady Hornets. His daughter, Shawna, attends Oak Grove as does his younger son, Chris. Ieoder of the peck big mon on compus The head honcho, numero uno, the cherry on the sundae, top dog, the big man on campus . . . call him what you will, Mr. Charles Green was definitely the one in charge! Bright and early on Monday morning, Mr. Green could be found in his office sipping a cup of coffee fpreparing for the Week aheadj or perhaps out front on bus duty. As principal of our school, Mr. Green had a tough job with many long hours. With Mr. Joseph Presley and Mr. Bobby Allison as assistant prin- cipals, they took on week after week of disciplinary problems, maintain- ing proper schedules, and general business affairs of school concern. Mr. Allison took charge of issuing lockers to students while Mr. Pres- ley promoted fundraisers to help pro- vide things such as new parking lots. Mr. Green himself made it a .

Of course, Mr. Green had to re- ceive his orders from somewhere. The school board saw to it that each school in the district ran smoothly and as problem free as possible. With Mr. Charles Stratton act- ing as president of the board, the members made decisions every day concerning all the county schools. Their job at times became quite diffi- cult because of the desire to do what was best for students. With all this help, one might be led to believe that Mr. Green's job was just one in the neverending chain of command. But given the chance, Mr. Green proved to be a, successful principal who was deter- mined to do the best he could dol Mildred Tatum PCSSD, Board Secretary Sheryl Dunn PCSSD, Board member Bemie O'l'leal PCSSD, Board member ' David Sain PCSSD, Board member 1 .

i showing off putting on the hits One might have thought teach- ers went home everyday and Watched Jeopardy reruns and ate Doritos while grading the killer test they had suddenly sprung on their students. But not the teachers at Oak Grove! With Mrs. Bonnie Haynie's pitching ability, and Miss Penny El- liott's and Mrs. Justine Frogge's dancing ability, the teachers were anything but normal! It all started with the student- faculty softball game. With Coach Tony Adams' homeruns, they felt in- vincible. Demanding another oppor- tunity to show off their talents, they challenged the students again, this time to a game of basketball. There was no stopping them. One occassion brought them Sandra Acre CCE Joan Adams Health, Coaching stalf Tony Adams History, Coaching staff Sundra Albert Social Skills Karen Allen Art, Drill Team Marylou Andreelli English, Humanities Ronald Bennett History, Coaching Staff Ailene Blair Media Center Stall' Jim Brovm Foreign Languge Vera Bowie Paraprofessional Dora Chrissonberry Stal?

A pie-in-the-face con- test sponsored by the senior high cheerleaders gave students a chance to get their favorite teachers back. Coach John Mayes, Whose pie had Alpo in it, braved the torture with a sickening smile on his face. To top it all off with a grand finale, the teachers got wind of the first schoolwide On The Hits program. A group of five teachers entered the contest as the Go-Go's: Mrs. Jennifer Steele, Miss Penny Elliott, Mrs. Bonnie Haynie, Mrs. Justine Frogge, and Mrs. Renee James executed their act and walked off with first place. The teachers at our high school were anything but average because they proved that they could hold their own with the best of us! 'I 64 People lj, x A7
