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.

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

At this time most of us were in diapers and others had not been born. But also in that year, teachers were starting their careers at Oak Grove High School. These teachers Were Coach Bobby Tiner and Mrs. Colleen Mays. Other teachers were here before 1971: Mrs. Lavonne Henderson who has been here since 1956, and Mrs. Mary Catherine Denis who has been here since 1960. In the past years, Mrs. Henderson has participated in a Faculty Fashion Show, Talent Show, and helped in preparing for basketball games. When asked why she has taught here for so long, Mrs. Henderson replied, The school board assigned me here, and I've never had any problems, and I like it. I remember when the senior prom was held in the cafeteria, and there Was a dance and a banquet. Mrs. Henderson also sponsored the Honor Society. An important fact of consolida- tion may affect these teachers. Due to consolidation, not only will chil- dren be bused to different schools, but teachers will also be transferred. Knowing that his seniority would probably keep him at OG, Mr. Floyd Dunn said, Since a final decision has not been handed down I really can't comment, but I don't think consolidation or Judge Woods is fair, and I would hate to leave Oak Grove. Mr. Dunn is the sponsor of the Student Government and has participated in the Faculty Gong Show. Many realize the dedication of these teachers who will always be a part of Oak Grove tradition. on 5
