r If It ' s Worth Doing, It ' s Worth Doing Well! People who say they hate history always seem to love to write and create it. That ' s what working on the yearbook staff is all about That ' s where it is. Our job is to create a 232 page fun history book, and I think we did it. We attended summer clinic at Auburn where we were awarded a plaque for excellence in design. While at clinic we learned a very impor- tant factor — Yearbooks should be fun. Our theme for this year, movies, was found near the end of school through the advertise- ment for the movie, The Mam Event From there we tied each section to a movie and car- ried the geometric al oval throughout our book This year we shortened the opening to add a student life section and put in a closing con- taining an index. Every staff member is respon- sible for pictures, copy, layout, captions and the right page number on each of their pages. I know OHS has to have one of the most sup- portive administrations and faculty in the State Many thanks to all of them for the privileges they give us and the allowances they make for us. They are always willing to help in any way Motivation to strive for the very best is always important on any staff. We feel pressure to continue our winning tradition after placing third in slate competition and winning a silver certificate in national competition. Being on a staff with eleven wonderful peo- ple is a treat for anyone, especially if each per- son is as hard working as this staff has been As each go different ways to search for differ- ent goals, I would like to wish you the best of luck always. Some of the most rewarding experiences in my life have come through my being on this staff. It has filled my senior year completely, and I have enjoyed every minute of it. I hope you also like the 1 981 Tomahawk. We did it for you. So sit back, relax, and enjoy it. Tern White, Editor Tern White, senior YearbOQ) Editor Joining the staff at mid-term are Emily Benlley, Gena Harvey, and David Denney, 98

Deadlines Create Pressure Cooker Environment Jeff Mize and Charles Elliot type the popular gossip column wtiicfi fiurts feelings but sells papers Kerry Jones and John David Huie clip articles to paste on lay-out sheets. Mr. Tolbert and Mikey Smith enjoy storage space before being ousted by Mrs Nolen ' s reading class. Much liquid paper is required when proofreading lay ' sheets The Wetotem workroom is a refuge for study hall escapees, the sick, the hungry, the weary, and some who want to work on the paper. Supposedly there are assignments, deadlines, and a beat for every staff member to cover, but that ' s not the way it works. Most staff members have a fair idea of what they are supposed to do, but they usually try to find someone else to do it when press time comes. Somehow deadlines are met, but the copy has to be begged, bor- rowed, or stolen. As it turned out again this year, Mr. Tolbert carried much of the workload. There were many Wednesday nights when he stayed at the school until 2:00 or 2:30 a.m. typing articles to meet the deadline. Then he had to take the layout sheet to Culman where it was printed. Finally, in order to get the papers to school on time, he had to get up at 4:30 a.m. on Friday mornings and go back to Culman to pick up the papers. too Mickey Latta.
